Chapter 718: The Verge
At the beginning of February, at the beginning of spring. The scenery outside the city is chaotic, and the river embankment is smoky and spring.
In the spring of the seventeenth year of Yongzhi, Princess Yongchang, who was 26 years old at the time, continued her rich, luxurious, and uninhibited life in the capital of the Zhou Empire.
As the youngest sister of the Emperor and the favored princess, she has several highly profitable industries in her house: grain, medicinal herbs, coal, etc.; There is also a large area of Huangzhuang, which produces nearly one million silver dollars every year for her expenses.
In the evening sunset, a gorgeous, spacious carriage drawn by eight horses galloped to the mansion outside the West City.
Princess Yongchang had just taken her male pet Ning Fu to watch a fierce polo match outside Dongcheng in the afternoon. On the way back to the mansion. It's just that the sound in the carriage is a bit wrong. The wheezing voices of men and women mingled.
The clouds are gone.
In the carriage, Princess Yongchang leaned comfortably on the collapsed chair, with slender fingers, holding a grape, and sending it to her mouth. Beautiful cherry mouth, small and bright, with a beautiful lip shape. With a slight force, the juice overflows.
She was very excited about this kind of swaggering environment in the city. The snow-white round and slender right leg stretched out, and he comfortably kicked Ning Fu, who had just finished selling his strength in front of the collapsed chair, and said, "Say, what do you want to tell me?" ”
Ning Fu is 19 years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a very handsome young man. However, the face is a little pale. Obviously something is excessive. At this time, naked and kneeling at the feet of Princess Yongchang, he greedily glanced at Princess Yongchang's fair-skinned, convex and concave body. With a flattering smile, he said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, the King of Chu wants to send a beauty to the West Garden through your channel, let me ask your opinion." ”
Princess Yongchang snorted coldly, "My nephew has never been very cold to me. It reminds me of me. No way! As he spoke, he looked at Ning Fu with a smile and said, "Tell me, how much silver did the King of Chu give you?" ”
It is said that she took a young nobleman to swagger in the polo field, and I don't know how many noblewomen in Beijing she envied.
Ning Fu said truthfully: "Your Highness, where will the King of Chu meet me?" My grandfather was on good terms with King Jin that day. He still remembers. It was Mr. Han who talked to me. Three thousand taels. He said a few words and asked me to pass them on to Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
Han so-jae's name. Princess Yongchang has naturally heard of it when she reaches this level. knew that he was the mastermind of the king of Chu. A man of resourcefulness. The middle-aged maid who had followed her for many years served tea, she took a sip of tea and said, "Oh, let's talk about it first." ”
Ning Fu took a deep breath, thought about Han Jin's words yesterday, and said, "Mr. Han said a total of two sentences. First, after the Son of Heaven, how does Her Royal Highness the Princess gain a foothold in the capital? Second, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will have a good reward. ”
Princess Yongchang giggled, and the flowers trembled, "Giggles, Han Xiucai thought that King Chu must be the prince of the East Palace!" When I'm stupid! On the big Sunday, Jia Huan is scolded every day. Aren't you going to do it? I don't want to get involved. The last time I was a nobleman, it scared me! If it weren't for the horse, would Jia Huan be able to give up? ”
In the Wuyingdian drama of the fifteenth year of Yongzhi, Jia Huan swept the Jin Wang Party. Prince Shun and Jinyiwei commanded Mao Kun's head to the ground. Shang Guiren died in the cold palace. The king of Nan'an County won the title. Concubine Nan'an died of depression. really scared Princess Yongchang a lot.
Ning Fu persuaded: "If the princess thinks like this, she is wrong. Jia Huan is a person with clear grievances and grievances, and he will repay him. You recommend a noble man to the palace, if he holds a grudge in his heart, the princess will be retaliated. The colt didn't have the face to dissuade him. Think about how important Prince Jia is to Jia's mansion! If he doesn't hold a grudge, what if the princess recommends another person to enter the West Garden?
Moreover, the king of Chu offered beauties just to please the Son of Heaven, and had no other intentions. Mr. Han said that the princess can rest assured of this. When he turned around, he was sent to the princess, and the princess could talk to her. ”
Princess Yongchang thought about it, smiled coquettishly, leaned over and hooked her hand, "Brother Fu, you can." It's kind of a man's look. Come on. ”
Ning Fu suddenly smiled. The latter words were taught to him by Han Jin. Where can he do this kind of speculation about people's hearts? Sure enough, it won the princess's heart. Ha ha! As Han Jin said, there is no shortage of men around Princess Yongchang, but a lack of men with IQ. Catch that quickly, just wait to drink his foot-washing water in the future! Ha ha.
…
…
At the beginning of February, the scholars in the Beijing division were everywhere. Han Jin took the two generals of Hum Ha and came from outside the city on foot and walked into the Chaoyang Gate.
In this spring breeze, the willows fluttering in the early spring, Han Jin stopped on Chaoyangmen Street, looking at the high-spirited and talkative scribes on the street, and his eyes couldn't help but show a look of admiration.
The imperial examination is the right way!
A two-list jinshi is a well-known brand. Even if he is an emperor in the future, I am afraid this regret will be difficult to make up.
Luo Ziche and Datou Tong Xiucai glanced at each other, and opened their mouths to persuade: "Ziheng..."
Han Jin was dressed in a green shirt and wore a Tang scarf. Looking back, he looked at his core team, smiled, and said, "I'm fine." Let's go. "Be the first to step into the bustling streets and alleys full of market life.
The trio's destination today was a residence in the east of the city by Liu Huangshang: to meet a woman. At the door of a quiet three-entry courtyard in Sicheng Fang, an old servant took three people in and sat down in the main hall. Liu Huangshang, one of the three imperial merchants, Liu Zining, has been waiting for a long time.
Liu Zining was in his fifties, a little rich, dressed in a brocade robe, smiled and beckoned Han Jin and the three of them to sit down, exchanged a few words, and then shouted: "Qingqing, serve tea." ”
Liu Zining and Mr. Long Jiang are good friends and are familiar with Zhao Heling, the head of the household department. and Jia Huan have an intersection. It's a pleasure to get along with. However, he is a member of the Chu King's party. Politics is often like this: a friend of a friend is not necessarily a friend; A friend of an enemy is not necessarily an enemy.
A moment later, a beautiful woman in white came out of the inner hall with a tea tray in her hand. Medium stature. Long hair pulled up. The clothes on her body are samurai uniforms. Stick tightly to your body. Outline her graceful body curves, extremely graceful, charming, excellent proportions, golden section.
Waiting for her to step forward to serve tea, Han Jin saw her face clearly, her face was delicate and quiet, with willow eyebrows, clear eyes, and cherry lips. A swan-like graceful and slender pink neck. The skin is not particularly white as snow, but has a healthy glow.
Qingqing bowed her head and said, "Please Mr. Han use tea." "Her voice has a slightly hoarse texture, which is very recognizable.
Han Jin nodded and took the tea. He has a general sense of beauty. He pursued his personal political ideal: to rule the world.
Qingqing only served tea to Han Jin, then turned around and walked towards the inner hall. However, Luo and Tong, the two showmen who came together, saw their eyes straight. Staring at the back of Qingqing who was leaving.
A beauty that is pleasing to the eye. A close-fitting white samurai uniform framed her plump twin peaks and long, rounded legs. Rounded and upright jade buttocks. petals like peaches. With the swaying of her slender waist, it seems to carry endless temptation. It's a sexy stunner!
Liu Zining looked at the two showmen who were stupid and ugly, and smiled slightly, with pride, "What does Mr. Han think?" "This is the beauty he carefully collected in Jiangnan. Not only is it beautiful, but it has also been trained since childhood, and the skills are superb.
Han Jin nodded and praised: "Stunner." He also said: "Brother Liu arranged to send it to Princess Yongchang's mansion." I've already said yes to her. ”
Liu Zining smiled: "Okay! ”
Unlike others in the Chu royal line. He felt that Han Xiu was a real talent. And some people like to dismantle Han Jin's platform. For example, Li Kuanguan, the editor of Hanlin who returned from the Western Regions, was promoted to one level and was appointed as the editor of Hanlin, and during this time, he represented the king of Chu in the capital and contacted the exam-taking sons. The fame is great.
…
…
Han Jin only sat for a while, and after seeing Qingqing himself, he made a decision and returned to Jingyuan with the second general.
In the water pavilion, Luo Ziche and Tong Zhengyan couldn't hold back the words in their hearts anymore, drank a little wine, and talked about it.
Tong Zhengyan shook his head and said, "Alas, today I know where the fun of the Son of Heaven lies. Whoever said that the Son of Heaven was trapped in Miyagi and was busy dying every day, I absolutely scolded him. He asked Han Jin again, "Ziheng, really send it?" ”
He was reluctant.
Han Jin glanced at Tong Xiucai angrily. Didn't speak.
Tong Zhengyan was so frightened that he didn't dare to mention it again.
Luo Xiucai smiled very obscenely, and there was a black mole at the corner of his mouth that was very conspicuous, and said: "Such a stunner, I don't know if I can live today?" Brother Han, do you really want to play the card of everyone Lin? ”
Han Jin looked at the lake in the distance and said, "As long as Qingqing is sent to Xiyuan, Jia Huan has to believe it." It is best to elicit but not provoke. I just want Jia Huan to take a step back for the time being. Don't hinder the king of Chu from entering the East Palace. ”
Tong Xiucai said dissatisfiedly: "Ziheng, how much trouble did that kid cause us, just let it go like this?" ”
Han Jin waved his hand and sipped his wine. Didn't say anything.
…
…
The country is picturesque, and the world is like chess.
In Beijing, almost all eyes are focused on the upcoming Spring Festival in the seventeenth year of Yongzhi, and the game of seizing the heir is actually on the verge of breaking out! So, how many powerful figures in Beijing are paying attention to it, either explicitly or covertly?
Han Xiucai was in full swing to prepare, wanting to remove all the obstacles for the King of Chu to enter the East Palace.
At the same time, Jia Huan is also making his preparations! He is not a party. However, the succession was a dead end for him. He's going to break the game!
Even Princess Yongchang could feel the atmosphere of the coming big war from the intensive scolding of Jia Huan in the Big Sunday Daily, how could Jia Huan not be aware of it? It's just that he didn't talk about it to his wives and concubines.
Pressure, just be with him!
This is his responsibility. A man's duty is to be a tree and provide shelter for his wife and children. At the same time, he is the ruler of Jiafu, and the life of the house is tied to him.
It's another spring rain. In a pavilion in Sanssouci Hall, Jia Huan and his friend Pang Ze climbed high and looked into the distance. Swallows swept by. Between heaven and earth, there is a misery, as if there is no way forward. Just like the situation in Beijing at this time.
It's February 15th. The reference team of Wendao Academy has arrived in Jingshi. The leader of the team is the elder brother.
"Ziyu, have you decided?" Pang Ze looked at Jia Huan and asked. Jia Huan's thoughts, he knows.
Kill the Chu royal family.
However, if you really think about it, you will know how difficult it is. There is even a feeling that I don't know where to start.
The king of Chu does not have many flaws like the king of Jin. The king of Chu has a good reputation in the capital and is known as the virtuous king. Neither forming a party nor engaging in personal gain. It's just a meeting in Jingyuan. There are characters like Han Xiucai around him. It's slippery!
Jia Huan nodded lightly, smiled, looked resolute, looked at the rain, and said, "Shiyuan, don't be afraid of pressure." Yongzhi Tianzi smacked me once. I don't slip him away, how can I do it? ”
Pang Ze nodded. He knew that Jia Huan was deliberately speaking lightly.
The real reason is not just to let out a breath of evil in his heart and treat the Son of Yongzhi as a monkey. The deeper reason is that if the king of Chu ascends the throne, the academy system will be destroyed by the Donglin Party.
Moreover, the Son of Heaven will die within five years. Jia Huan wanted to borrow the hand of the Son of Heaven to sharpen the temperament of the King of Jin and avoid trouble with him after the King of Jin ascended the throne in the future. He must end the succession as soon as possible. Determine the prince of the East Palace.
All kinds of reasons converge, so there is now this seemingly calm situation on the surface, but secretly it has been tense!
The difference from the past, this time, Jia Huan is the one who took the initiative.
Jia Huan's past achievements are brilliant, but in his heart, he is still worried. If so, assuming and failing, Jia Huan will be the end of his death and annihilation.
