Chapter 1702: King Wei’s surname is Su, he is not the son of the Jia family!
Shenjing City
Under Chen Xiao's instigation, in the next few days, the statement "King Wei's surname is Su, is not the son of the Jia family!" indeed appeared in Beijing.
Scholars in the Daoist community began to make various speculations about Jia Heng's life experience.
Some people say that this is an orphan of the Su family of the Han Dynasty, who worked hard for many years and finally took control of the government and monopolized power.
Some say that this seems to be in response to destiny.
Jia Heng did not explain all this, but sent the Jinyi Palace Guards to search for the source of the rumors. For a time, the Jinyi Palace Guards appeared frequently in the sacred city, and people were panicked.
Divine Capital City, Prince Yan’s Mansion——
This is a prince's residence built according to the Han Dynasty standards. It has a five-level entrance, carved beams and painted pillars, and cornices. It is the time of March, with pink flowers, red willows, and the fragrance of birds and flowers.
After the wedding of the eighth prince Chen Ze, the Han Dynasty court still granted him a title and granted him the title of King of Yan. His salary and ceremonial regulations were all in accordance with the prince's rules.
At this moment, King Chen Ze of Yan was sitting in the backyard on an attic with vermilion beams and flying wings. The willow trees below were dense and green, as green as a canopy, and the smoke covered with beautiful paintings.
He was dressed in a plain white and goose yellow python suit with wide sleeves, and a king's golden crown on his head. His face was handsome and fair, and his brows were full of heroic aura.
The middle-aged scribe wearing a blue satin shirt said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Qi Ge said that the wind direction in Beijing seems to be wrong now."
This person is Zhuang Huaide, the chief historian of Prince Yan's Palace. He has always been known for his resourcefulness. Together with Zhao Yi, the chief secretary of Prince Yan's Palace, he is Chen Ze's right-hand man.
Both of them were recommended by Chen Ze's father-in-law.
Chen Ze, with his thick eyebrows and a somewhat sinister gaze, said: "The imperial court is surrounded by many important civil and military ministers, all of whom are members of King Wei's party. Now that they have regained Tibet, their momentum has become even stronger."
Zhuang Huaide, who was on the other side of the room, seemed to lower his voice and said: "Your Highness, there are rumors in the capital that King Wei was originally a military attaché in the Crown Prince's Palace of the Longzhi Dynasty. He suffered a lot because of the East Palace case that year."
Chen Ze was shocked, his face looked like a cloud, and he asked: "How do you say it?"
Zhuang Huaide said: "Your Majesty, this King Wei was originally a sinner, and he had a grudge against Emperor Sejongxian for killing his father."
Under the slanting sword-shaped eyebrows on the temples, King Yan Chen Ze had deep eyes and a hint of determination in his tone as he said, "So, everything King Wei did today was to avenge his father?"
Zhuang Huaide echoed: "Your Highness, it's not impossible."
King Yan Chen Ze nodded, as if he was suddenly enlightened, and said: "No wonder."
Zhao Yi, the chief secretary of Prince Yan's palace, frowned and suddenly said: "Your Highness, if King Wei returns to his original surname, will he still have any grudge against Emperor Sejongxian? But avenging his father is more popular."
There will eventually be smart people in this world, and Zhao Yi has come into contact with the truth.
King Yan Chen Ze was silent for a moment and said: "Emperor Shizong was very kind to Jia Ziyu. If Jia Ziyu betrays his trust, how will the people of the world view Jia Ziyu? Doesn't Jia Ziyu notice?"
At this moment, King Yan Chen Ze still couldn't see the hidden intention behind the exposure of Jia Heng's life experience.
The chief secretary, Zhao Yi, said loudly: "Your Highness, there are some young generals in the Beijing camp who sympathize with His Highness's situation. However, recently, a non-commissioned officer school is being established in the Beijing camp. Through competitions and other means, low-level generals will be selected from the soldiers. Moreover, King Wei is in the army.
After many years of hard work, I have won the hearts of the soldiers and generals. It is not easy for the prince to win the support of the generals in the capital camp."
Chen Ze thought for a while and said: "It's better to contact him first. Today's big man is really celebrating his father's death and the trouble is over."
Zhuang Huaide nodded and said: "What His Highness said is that the root cause of the chaos in the Han Dynasty was that Jia Ziyu controlled the government and Tai'a reversed it."
Under Chen Ze's dark green eyebrows, there was a flash of fierceness in his eyes, and there was a constant surge of violence on his fair and resolute face.
Zhuang Huaide's expression changed slightly, he lowered his voice and said warmly: "Does the prince want to imitate Zhuan Zhu's assassination of the king?"
Chen Ze stretched out a hand to stop Zhuang Huaide's next words and reminded: "Mr. Zhuang, be careful that walls have ears."
Zhuang Huaide's face changed slightly, and under his thick eyebrows, his eyes were thoughtful.
"For the present plan, the only way is to suppress King Wei with the help of his righteous name." Chen Ze was silent for a moment, nodded, and said warmly: "During this period, let people pay attention to the wind direction in the capital, and then send people to spread the word,
Emperor Sejong Xian deprived Jia Ziyu of his youth and made him a daughter-in-law, so that he could be reborn with kindness and kindness. Even if Jia Ziyu had a grudge against his father, he should not hate the late emperor."
Zhuang Huaide nodded, accepting the matter.
Chen Ze was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Nowadays, the Jia thieves are controlling the government and causing chaos. You and I should bear with each other for the sake of the country and not make more mistakes."
Zhuang Huaide looked at Zhao Yi at the side.
Chen Ze asked again: "Where are the scholars in Jinke? Are there any who are willing to go to Yangliu Poetry Society to study poetry?"
King Yan established the Yangliu Poetry Society not long ago, because King Yan was famous for his love of poetry and poetry.
In fact, this is an association, and all of this is under the supervision of Jinyi Mansion, because due to the face of Princess Xianning and Queen Song, Duanrong Guifei did not ban it.
In fact, the identity of the King of Yan is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing. Family affairs, national affairs, and world affairs are all entangled, so it is impossible for Jia Heng to ignore his family ties and kill the King of Yan without guilt.
Zhuang Huaide frowned, looked aggressively, and asked: "After Your Highness studied the new learning on his own, some scholars in the court criticized Your Highness. Why did Your Highness want to take this muddy water? Instead, it damaged the reputation of a wise king.
name?"
The dispute between the old and new learning has been on and off since Fengming's Three Questions in the first year of Qiande. Although the new learning was under the banner of "studying things to achieve knowledge", it was still criticized and criticized by some old scholars.
After all, disputes between schools of thought are only superficial, while disputes over political interests are the essence.
Chen Zeyingwu, with a look of silence on his resolute face, said: "Although the new learning was advocated by Jia Tie, it is indeed an advanced learning that is of great benefit to the country."
Even if he is to be in charge of the country in the future, he must advocate new learning.
Zhao Yidao: "But it is not good for Your Highness to win over people's hearts."
Chen Ze nodded and said: "If I can actively devote myself to the new study and use the people under King Wei to my advantage, and at the same time give gentle methods to the people of the old study, I may not be able to achieve great things."
Zhuang Huaide said: "What Your Highness said is reasonable. King Wei has a resolute temperament, but his methods have always been ruthless. Once he offends the public, that will be His Highness's chance to calm people's hearts."
"That's exactly the reason." Chen Ze nodded, then glanced at the others, and said: "It's getting late, and I am a little tired."
Zhuang Huaide and Zhao Yi looked at each other and stood up to say goodbye.
…
After Chen Ze said this, he stood up and left the study, returning to the back room of the house.
At this moment, his wife, Mrs. Zhou, came up to greet him. Princess Yan had a warm smile on her bright face and asked: "Your Majesty, you are back. I have cooked lotus seed soup for you. Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
Just go and have a drink."
His wife is the daughter of Zhou Tingji, the former minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. She is fifteen years old, with beautiful features and a very charming personality.
Zhou Tingji was originally a cadre of the Zhejiang Party. Later, after Han Huang became an official and returned to his hometown, he was changed to the minister of Taichang Temple. Although he was the third-rank official or even the ninth minister, in terms of power, this change of appointment was already obvious.
Rising and dark falling.
In the third year of Qiande, Jia Heng asked the cabinet to change the official system according to the Prime Minister's Affairs Yamen, and after strengthening the functions of the six ministries, he raised the rank of the minister of the six ministries by one level and designated it as the second rank.
Although the minister of Taichang Temple is still the ninth minister, there is no doubt that it has more meaning of being demoted.
Chen Ze's eyes showed recognition and he said: "You are really a thank you to the princess."
Mrs. Zhou chuckled lightly and said nothing else. Accompanied by Chen Ze, she came to the back house and sat down. When she got up, she got up and poured a cup of tea for Chen Ze.
Chen Ze asked: "What is your father-in-law doing recently?"
Zhou's face was graceful, her voice was like flowing jade from a spring, soft and soft, and she whispered: "Father, he is in Dachang Temple. Father is also responsible for the sacrifices for the heroes who recently conquered Tibet."
Chen Ze sighed and said with emotion: "My father-in-law, he used to be the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of Rites, but now he is relegated to Taichang Temple as a Rite Officer. How poorly does the court treat talented people?"
Zhou said: "Now in the court, there are no cabinet ministers who promoted my father to support him."
Chen Ze had a thoughtful look on his face and said: "My father-in-law is dormant for the time being, but there will always be a day when he can make great plans."
When he corrects the chaos in the future and ascends the throne, he can reuse his father-in-law's family.
Under Zhou's emerald willow eyebrows, her beautiful eyes as clear as rainbows were deeply gleaming, and she whispered in a low voice: "Your Majesty, my father is getting older now, so he doesn't care much about this."
Chen Ze nodded and said no more. He gently took Zhou's delicate hand and walked towards the back room.
The two of them are newlyweds. When the honey is mixed with the oil, it can be said that the marrow is eaten and the taste is known.
…
…
Daming Palace, Wuying Palace——
Jia Heng was dressed in a black and red satin python suit and sat on a chair in the palace with his back to the bright hall. Cabinet military aircraft were lined up on both sides.
Jia Heng discussed with the cabinet military aircraft today the latest political affairs of the Han Dynasty, mainly the submissions of the provinces and the project supervision matters of the Ministry of Industry in Beijing, as well as the rectification of the military station of the Ministry of War.
Hang Min, the military minister next to Shi Jie, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the local guards have been withdrawn in accordance with the sanctions, and the local capital secretary mentioned the replacement of the gun."
As the Ordnance Supervisor has improved the fire cannons, flint-fire fire cannons have been gradually installed in some regiments and camps in the Beijing camp, and the local governors also want to equip such fire cannons.
Jia Heng glanced at Hang Min and said: "The local border defense military affairs are simple, and the provincial guards do not need to change their flintlock guns."
Before he completely takes control of the big ship of the Han Dynasty, it is impossible to change the equipment of the local provincial guards and horses, and the Beijing camp, as the confidant soldiers and horses that defend his power, must be monolithic.
But Hang Min raising this matter at this time is inherently suspicious.
Hang Min was so frightened by Jia Heng's look that he quickly raised his hands in response.
Shi Jie, who was not far away, took in this scene, but his face was expressionless.
Jia Heng put down the tea in his hand, glanced at Shui Rong, Qi Kun and others present, and said: "Everyone, three steam trains of the Imperial College of Science and Technology have been built and will be put into trial operation between Shenjing and Luoyang.
To connect the transportation between the two places, the military aircraft department should also select a group of capable soldiers to form a railway guard to protect the train trade routes along the way. In a few days, I will preside over the opening ceremony."
Today's steam locomotives have average transportation capacity, are more experimental in nature, and need to be improved.
Shi Jie, Minister of War and Minister of Military Aircraft, asked: "How to set up the railway guard order system?"
Jia Heng said: "The Ministry of War will prepare a statement first."
Shi Jie raised his hand and said yes.
Jia Heng turned to Lin Ruhai who was standing aside and asked, "Mr. Lin Ge, how is the situation over there?"
Lin Ruhai smiled and said in a low voice: "Recently, the customs business has been in a hurry, and a lot of tariffs have been levied, which has already accounted for one-third of the national treasury revenue."
Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "One-third is not a lot. When one-half is occupied, you can waive the land tax as appropriate."
Lin Ruhai said: "Ziyu, this year is the imperial examination again. Is it still based on new learning and selecting students who believe in new learning?"
The first year of Qiande was the Enke test, and now it is the annual Spring Wei test.
Jia Heng's voice was clear and bright, and he said: "This time, not only are we selecting new talents in the subjects of Ming Jing and Ming Su, but we also need to select new talents based on the subject of new learning in the subject of eight-part essays."
Lin Ruhai said: "The Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy are already preparing relevant test questions."
Jia Heng turned to look at Zhao Yi and said, "Mr. Zhao Ge, how is the renovation of the embankments of Lianghe and Huaihe this year?"
Zhao Yidao, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, said: "King Wei, the river embankment renovation has come to an end. The two river sections have been completed. Only along the Huaihe River section, the river construction is still building embankments and weirs along the river."
Jia Heng said: "Let the river workers in the town do their work for the time being, and don't worry about anything else."
The water-soluble plastic surgery softened the color and said: "King Wei, there has been a lot of public opinion in the capital recently, and your life experience is being mentioned."
As soon as these words came out, all the cabinet ministers and military aircraft in the palace looked at the young man in the python suit with curiosity in their hearts.
Jia Heng said: "Lord Shui, I have sent Jinyi Mansion guards to verify this matter."
Shui Rong suddenly looked straight at Jia Heng and asked, "Zi Yu, if the rumors are true, how should King Wei deal with it?"
As soon as this statement came out, other cabinet ministers such as Qi Kun, the first assistant, and Lin Ruhai, the second assistant, all turned their curious eyes to the young man in the python suit.
Jia Heng's eyes flashed aggressively, and he said in a deep voice: "If the rumors are true, then... recognize your ancestors and return to your clan."
It was not suitable for him to bear the surname Jia. In other words, restoring his original surname would be more conducive to him getting rid of the influence that Emperor Chongping had on him.
When Shui Rong heard this, he looked thoughtful and said, "That's good."
Shui Rong thought about it for a while, moved his lips, but ultimately did not ask, so how should he explain the grievances and grievances between him and Emperor Sejong?
Jia Heng then said: "No matter what, the grievances and resentments of the previous generation have all gone with the wind. Emperor Shizong has been very kind to me. Now is the Qiande period. I don't care about the rest."
There was a look of approval on the water-soluble surface, and he said yes.
Qi Kun and Lin Ruhai beside him looked thoughtful.
After that, Jia Heng and Lin Ruhai talked for a while, and instead of lingering in Wuying Hall, they headed towards the harem.
Kunning Palace, in the palace——
Fragments of sunlight shine through a wooden carved window lattice, falling on the lacquered wood tables in the hall, while a blue and white porcelain vase reflects the bright and dazzling light.
Empress Song's side of the room is wearing a vermilion dress, her hair is lush and black. She is sitting behind a lacquered wooden table, her face as white as snow is full of
Prosperous smile.
Princess Xianning, Li Chanyue, and Song Yan went to the palace to visit Empress Song today. They sat together on a lacquered pear wood chair, with their children in their arms, and their faces were full of joy and surprise.
Under her emerald willow eyebrows, Empress Song looked at the child in Princess Xianning's arms with a bright smile, and said warmly: "Xianning, let me take a look at her."
Princess Xianning chuckled and said: "Mother, I am talking about you right now."
Princess Xianning, on the side of the carriage, gently stretched out a delicate catkin and gently pinched the pink face of the child in her arms. Her heart was filled with affection, and then she ordered the female official to carry the child to Empress Song.
At this moment, familiar footsteps came from the corridor eaves. Immediately, he saw the young man in python clothes walking quickly from outside. He was surprised and asked: "Xianning, are you here too?"
Princess Xianning now gently stretched out a hand and gently held the child in her arms. She stared at the young man in the python suit, smiled slightly, and said: "Sir, have you finished handling the government affairs in the court?"
Jia Heng smiled and said, "We're almost done."
At this moment, Empress Song took over Jia Heng's words and asked with concern: "Zi Yu, what exactly did the court say?"
Jia Heng said: "We have discussed the issue of railway track laying. In addition, the tax collection for the past two years, commercial taxes and maritime trade have all been decided. The cabinet and military operations are all planned according to the procedures."
Empress Song said softly: "That's good. When Luo'er is here, you should teach him more about these government affairs."
Jia Heng smiled and said: "When Luo'er comes back, I will hand over some political affairs in the court to him."
Empress Song responded softly, her eyebrows raised, and her fair-skinned face was filled with traces of surprise.
Princess Xianning's face paused slightly, and under her emerald willow eyebrows, her crystal-clear beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she asked: "Sir, is there nothing important happening in the government and the public right now?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "There is no war anymore, but there are many major events in the government and the public, including water conservancy and transportation, immigration and farming, and the management of science and education. All kinds of things are included."
Princess Xianning gave a soft "hmm" and said, "Sir, the next step is to deal with the internal affairs of the imperial court."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said loudly: "Yes, now that the Yuan Dynasty has just been changed, the affairs of the imperial court are complicated and need to be peeled off and sorted out carefully."
Princess Xianning said softly: "Sir, has this public opinion arisen in Beijing recently?"
Jia Heng turned to Princess Xianning and asked, "You also heard the news from the capital."
Princess Xianning said: "Yesterday, I heard my aunt and Lianxue mention that my husband's life experience is now widely spread throughout the Shenjing City. It is said that my husband is the son of a general led by the Crown Prince's Dong Palace Guards."
Because Jia Heng was the current King of Wei, his every word and deed attracted the attention of the court, not to mention the explosive news about King Wei's life experience. Once it was exposed, it quickly spread throughout the city of Shenjing.
At this moment, Queen Song's pink lips parted slightly, and she asked curiously: "Ziyu, is this true?"
Doesn't she believe that this little fox really knows nothing?
So, this conspiracy to usurp the throne is really revenge on Emperor Sejong?
Or is it the plot of this little fox?
Jia Heng nodded and said: "It should be close to ten. A few years ago, the eldest princess of Jinyang mentioned this matter and saw me in the East Palace."
Empress Song raised her eyebrows, with a hint of surprise on her fair-skinned face, and said, "Jinyang?"
Her sister-in-law really liked to run around in the East Palace back then.
Li Chanyue and Song Yan looked at the young man in the python suit with bright eyes, but they didn't have any feelings at all.
Jia Heng said: No matter what, if your surname is Su, then just change it back to your surname."
Queen Song's face was thoughtful, then she smiled: "These are not urgent matters. As we talk, it's already noon. Ziyu, let's have lunch first."
Jia Heng sat down beside a small lacquered wood table, picked up the tea cup on the side, lowered his head and took a sip.
Then, a large number of female officials came out from under the eaves of the corridor in the palace and began to bring a plate of steaming dishes and placed them on a lacquered wooden table.
