Jiapingguan Chronicle

"This is too vicious!" Merlin said with a cold face, somewhat indignantly, "Those powerful families clearly know that this child is the only child of Emperor Yongjia and Queen Kangshun, and is their darling. What is held in the heart is also the child that Queen Kangshun sacrificed her life for, and can inherit the throne in the future. They actually calculated like this. Is this what people should do? Why don't they send their children away? As a monk? Their own children are children, but other people’s children are not children?”

"That's it!" Jin Jing sneered, "No wonder Taizu looks down on these big clans. They are indeed dirty enough. On the surface, they respect etiquette and abide by the law, but in fact they are full of male thieves and female prostitutes. Such people are a scourge. We should directly cut off their opportunities to participate in government affairs. I used to think it was a pity, but looking at it now, this decision is really a good one!"

"That's right." Zhen Buhui also agreed, "There are also the bald donkeys from Xiangguo Temple who are also cooperating and acting as the minions and lackeys of those bastards. It's not a good thing! He's a monk, bah!"

"Well, you don't have to be so indignant, right?" Jiang Erye didn't expect such a reaction from them, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Neither of these two parties are good people, nor are they that innocent. Really innocent It should be Master Falian, but now it seems that if he is the person behind the Qinglian Sect, he is not innocent."

"Qinglian Sect, Master Falian..." Shen Cha sneered, "Two names that are so similar will most likely be indistinguishable." She looked at Zhen Buhui, "The two uncles should know better than We know more, so please take the trouble to check it out. If he is really active between Xia and Jin, he will not leave any traces."

"I understand, and I will definitely tell them." Zhen Buhui nodded very solemnly, "I also feel that this time the direction is right."

"This is all something to talk about later. I want to understand now. When the clan proposed to send the young prince to Xiangguo Temple, Emperor Yongjia and Queen Kangshun had no objection?" Jin Miaomiao frowned with disgust. Wrinkling her nose, "Especially Queen Kangshun. Although she is very sincere, respects and believes in Buddhism, but she is the only child she has given birth to after all her efforts. Does she really care about people's hearts?"

"You also said that she respects and believes in Buddhism and is very sincere, so although she was reluctant to part with it, she still sent the child over." Mr. Jiang sighed softly and said, "You have to listen to the clan How did you trick them? If it were you, would you make the same choice after hearing these words?" Seeing Jin Miaomiao about to open his mouth and say something, he waved his hand gently, "Listen first. Let’s talk about it after listening.”

"Okay!" Jin Miaomiao and Shen Cha looked at each other and nodded towards Mr. Jiang, "You say it!"

"First, they must convince the abbot of Xiangguo Temple to cooperate with them in setting a trap for Emperor Yongjia and Queen Kangshun."

"That's right!" Jin Jing nodded, "Why would the old bald donkey cooperate with them? Don't they always claim that they are outside the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements? Don't they always say that they are cultivators who don't care about the worldly affairs? ?Why do you still need to cooperate with the clan? It can’t be that Xiangguo Temple is also the clan’s own temple, right?”

"The family temple is not the same, but the Xiangguo Temple is indeed the private property of the royal family." Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, Jiang Erye spread his hands, "All temples, Taoist temples, and nunneries in the world belong to the royal family. , so this is the most fundamental reason for tax exemption. There is absolutely no need to take some money out of your left pocket and put it in your right pocket, right?"

"That's true." Merlin nodded, "But if it is the private property of the royal family, you should listen to the royal family. Why would you listen to the clan?"

"The monks inside are all from clans. Except for the top clans like Wang Xie, they will not send their children to temples. Most clans will send some of their own family members to temples. There are some that are mixed into a big temple. Abbots, and some who go to temples to serve as monks. Because in the previous dynasty, temples were a place where money could be made quickly and the temples were very legitimate. Therefore, on the surface, the temples belonged to the royal family, but in reality it was the clan that controlled them."

"The bald donkey in Xiangguo Temple also belongs to the clan?"

"Yes!" Mr. Jiang nodded, "So, without much communication at all, he is very willing to cooperate with his own camp, which represents his family's camp. As for the royal family..." He spread his hands, "The clan controls the number of government affairs. For a hundred years, they didn’t take them seriously at all. When they encountered such unruly and thorny people as Emperor Yongjia, they naturally had many very effective ways to deal with them.”

"By using their only child and sending their only child to Xiangguo Temple, can they really control Emperor Yongjia?" God, it always gives me a very torn feeling."

"I also have this feeling."

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha said in unison. After speaking, the two exchanged glances and nodded towards each other.

"Right?" Xue Ruitian touched his chin, "He is a person who is said to be sane, but sometimes he is a little unclear."

"No, Brother Xiaotian, it's not the feeling you mentioned." Shen Cha thought for a while, "Well, I think he should be the kind of person who wants and wants, but doesn't want to pay anything. It's not that he is still a prince. This would be the case when he was a prince, but after he became the prince and ascended the throne as the emperor, this feeling became particularly obvious. In my opinion, he was reluctant to let go of the free days when he was a prince, and he was also reluctant to give away To the throne of the mouth.”

"Yes, that's what I mean." Shen Haolin nodded, "He clearly knows that if he becomes the prince and the king of a country, he will no longer be able to go out for sightseeing with Queen Kangshun, and he also knows that there will be no chance of the past. It was an easy life, but he still persuaded Queen Kangshun to change her current lifestyle and follow him to the capital,"

"More than that, he can negotiate terms with the clan and the clan and establish the concubine he wants. Why not fight for Queen Kangshun?" Shen Cha sneered, "Why would he rather be Queen Kangshun's aunt? How about arguing with reason to rectify the name of Queen Kangshun? In fact, if he can fight for Queen Kangshun, she may become the concubine, right?" "That's right!" Jin Miaomiao nodded, "I do. It is understandable why he would not argue for Queen Kangshun, because he is not the only choice for the crown prince. If he presses too hard and makes too many demands, even if the other princes are with the former crown prince, If the accident is related, the clan and clan will mercilessly abandon him and choose those princes, right?" She looked at Mr. Jiang, "It's possible, right?"

"That's right, he himself wrote similar words in his handwriting." Second Master Jiang nodded, "It's not that he doesn't want to make Queen Kangshun his concubine, but that he wants to make progress by retreating. When can he say it himself? Forget it, when you have the power and the conditions to negotiate qualifications, you can do things that go well with you. In this case, not only is he the one to comfort himself, but he is also the one to persuade Queen Kangshun. He even said that Kangshun The queen is very considerate and knows that he is in a difficult situation and that he still really wants the position of crown prince, so she would rather wrong herself than let him lose this opportunity."

"Really?" Shen Cha spread his hands, "One more thing, it's Master Falian. I wonder what Emperor Yongjia's reaction was when the clan and clan proposed sending the young prince to Xiangguo Temple. Did he agree?"

"I don't know whether he objects to it or not. His record of this matter in his handwritten notes is that he fulfilled Queen Kangshun's wish."

"Fulfilled his wish?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "What does this mean?"

"Queen Kangshun has always had a wish. In fact, when she gets older, she can always stay with the ancient Buddha with green lanterns, ignore the turmoil of the world, and worship the Buddha wholeheartedly." Jiang Erye spread his hands, "What he means is that there is a The child fulfilled this wish for Queen Kangshun and went to always accompany the Ancient Buddha of Green Lanterns. She no longer had to go and could stay with her. When Emperor Yongjia wrote these words, I felt ecstatic, He felt as if Queen Kangshun would give up her original ideas or something."

"See?" Shen Cha spread his hands, "He has no ambition and is very considerate. These are just his appearances. In fact, he is a selfish person deep down and will always choose the right person. In his most advantageous aspect, as for who this choice will sacrifice, he actually doesn't care. Even if the other person is his wife who has been with him for many years, even if the other person is the child he worked so hard to give birth to, he doesn't really care. The whole From what the second grandfather said in the handwritten notes, in fact, the person Emperor Yongjia mentioned the most was himself. He wronged Queen Kangshun and her aunt in their marriage, and wronged his own son, as well as his in-laws, Yongzhou, in their life choices. The Zhou family has always guarded Yongzhou for him, just to give him a way out."

"If you say so, it's true." Second Master Jiang nodded, "Queen Kangshun became pregnant and gave birth to a child. In the end, the prince sent him to Xiangguo Temple, and no one in the Zhou family could even take a look. Emperor Yongjia mentioned, During the pregnancy, Queen Kangshun wanted to take her mother to Beijing, hoping that her mother could see the child when it was born. But Emperor Yongjia refused, and the reason given was that his mother-in-law was old. , Yongzhou is too far away from the capital, and the fatigue of traveling and traveling will be unbearable for my mother, so there is no need to bother them with such a trip. If anything happens to them, it will be the fault of these juniors. "

"If we just talk about this matter, Emperor Yongjia is right. When you get older, there is really no need to travel and travel. The main reason is that you have to catch up with the day of giving birth. You must rush to the capital quickly. If there is something wrong on the way, What an accident, it's really not good. If you walk slowly and miss the day of giving birth, the old man will feel uncomfortable. If he has a heart disease, it will be even more troublesome." Jin Miaomiao sighed. He said, "It's just that Emperor Yongjia doesn't have a good impression on me, so I just think he has bad intentions after what he said."

"Me too." Shen Cha nodded in agreement, "All selfish people who are self-centered will be in vain no matter how they defend themselves."

"That's right, that's right." Jin Miaomiao turned around and gave Shen Cha a high-five, and then turned to look at Second Master Jiang, "So, when the little prince was two years old, he sent it directly to him Have you visited Xiangguo Temple?"

"Yes." Second Master Jiang nodded affirmatively. He took the hot tea handed over by Merlin, took two sips and continued, "But no matter what, he is a prince, and he must still be treated like a prince. No. It's really like those little novices who endure so much hardship. Of course, those little novices may not suffer. After all, they are all children from clan families. They have their own purposes in sending their children to the temple, and they certainly don't. It will hurt your children, right?"

"Understood!" Jin Miaomiao sneered, "Let's live somewhere else. Although the little prince is young, those little novice monks don't dare to be particularly presumptuous. Even except for the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, other people can only provide Look at him respectfully, right?"

"Isn't this natural? His status and status are different. Others must treat him as a serious prince. What's more, he was also on the royal jade plate. Although he became a monk and became a so-called eminent monk He is still a prince. Even if the status of the royal family is not as good as imagined, it is still acceptable in terms of face. Not to mention..."

"What's more?"

"Emperor Yongjia and Queen Kangshun sent their only biological son to Xiangguo Temple. This practice was highly praised by the people. The people, especially the people in the capital, felt that this was a great achievement by their Majesty and the Queen for the whole world. It is a great thing for the people to accumulate merit, and they support Emperor Yongjia even more, and Emperor Yongjia's reputation among the people is also higher."

"Does Emperor Yongjia himself know about this matter?"

"Clearly, and very happily, he wrote in his handwriting that it would be great if he could bring down the noble family and regain the power to control the government. However, under this sentence, he wrote a line of small words, daydreaming .”

"Daydreaming was written by Emperor Yongjia himself?"

"He wrote it himself, and he looks very weak." Jiang Erye smiled, "However, he also has some conscience, or can shoulder the responsibility as a father. Almost every three to five days, he will accompany I took Queen Kangshun to Xiangguo Temple once to see her son, and this situation lasted until the little prince was ten years old."
