The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 290
However, Emperor Hongde's excessive favor towards Yuan Chun and the eldest prince caused many members of Jia's family to have a lot of small thoughts in their hearts.

Among them, Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang, the second wife and one lineage, were the most active.

The rest, those branches who want to take advantage of the opportunity, are too numerous to enumerate.

And Jia Jing suppressed the fact that the founding of the country was preparing to apply for the crown prince.

Some people who are also called Jia's family are unwilling.

Fortunately, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian in both houses obeyed Jia Jing's words.

Therefore, those who think carefully can only do it anxiously, but they just can't exert their strength.

But soon, they didn't care about these.

Because in February after the year, the queen also gave birth to a prince!
The birth of two princes one after the other made the turmoil in the court even more treacherous.

Later, what disturbed some members of the Jia family was that Emperor Hongde's favor to the empress and the second prince was no less than that to Yuan Chun and the eldest prince.

Even in some respects, it is faintly surpassed by a lot.

For example, this time, when the second prince was full moon, Emperor Hongde held a banquet in the palace for his officials.

Even after the banquet, the cabinet, several heads of the six ministries, and a group of powerful generals in the military were left behind.

When Jia Zheng returned to the mansion and said, Mrs. Wang became a little anxious.

Then hurriedly go to Rongqing Hall and talk to Jia Mu.

Mother Jia couldn't sit still anymore.

Hurry up and send someone to wait at the gate of Marquis Zhaowu's mansion, and call Jia Jing over as soon as he returns to the mansion.

So, there was the scene where Mother Jia asked Jia Jing, "Did Your Majesty say anything to you?"

With a slight smile on Jia Jing's face, she replied: "What else can I say? It's nothing more than some short stories from the parents..."

"Impossible," Mrs. Wang was the first to question, "Did Your Majesty not mention anything else?"

Jia Jing's complexion sank, and she said unceremoniously: "My wife has read too many Buddhist scriptures, and my mind is a little unclear? Do I need to go to the Buddhist hall to rest for a few days?
If you don't believe what I say, then you can ask His Majesty, why bother listening to me here? "

After speaking, Mrs. Wang's face turned green and red.

Seeing this, Jia's mother at the side smoothed things over and said, "Brother Jing, what do you think about the matter of the two princes in the palace?"

This is the meaning of asking Jia Jing if she supports the eldest prince.

Jia Jing heard the words and said with a smile: "How else can we look at this matter? In the end, no matter what the outcome is, it is a matter for the palace. We people, just do our own thing!"

Pure perfunctory.

Naturally, such an answer did not satisfy Jia's mother.

Jia Mu couldn't help frowning.

Jia Zheng, who was sitting on the side, said, "But our family is Yuan Chun's natal family after all, so it is naturally divided into the first prince's family. Wouldn't it be a big trouble if the world changes in the future..."

Some of the words were full of worries.

What he said was a little level, but he was only worried about everyone's situation, and he never said anything about his family's desire for power and power.

As soon as these words came out, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian immediately became a little worried.

"What's the matter with this? We are nobles, and we live together with the country. As long as we share our duties, who will make things difficult for us? Who dares to make things difficult for us?"

Jia Jing said with a smile: "Take a step back, as long as I stand there and look at the government and the public, who would dare to really show my teeth at us?"

When the voice fell, everyone was shocked.

In the words just now, Jia Jing did not exclude Emperor Hongde.

Everyone naturally understood the meaning of Jia Jing's words.

This is the first time that Jia Jing has uttered such arrogant words in front of everyone in the family.

Although there are different understandings of the meaning of the words, no matter which one is understood, as long as it is spoken outside, it will be the result of being beheaded.

How can this keep everyone from being surprised?
Jia Zheng's heart couldn't help trembling even more. His master Zheng only wanted to be an official in peace and stability, but he didn't have the guts to mix it up too much!

"Brother Jing, you don't dare to talk nonsense!" Mother Jia also hurriedly said.

"It's just talking at home," Jia Jing said with a smile, "outside, of course you have to be careful!"

Everyone, "..."

It's better not to say this, it's even more frightening!
But hearing Jia Jing's intention to change the topic, Jia's mother was a little unwilling, and finally said: "The so-called orderly seniority, if the eldest prince can have your support, the chances are not small..."

"Old lady, you have been blinded by those false names!"

Jia Jing smiled and said: "If the first prince can be seven or eight years older than the second prince, it will be enough to establish our own advantages, but now the two princes were born one after the other, and there is only a difference of three or two months between them. It just takes advantage of the name.

And the second prince is from the empress, this is the real direct line, the eldest prince has no advantage! "

"You are the eldest prince's uncle! And his uncle must also support him!" Mrs. Wang hurriedly said.

Regarding Mrs. Wang's words, Jia Jing just sneered and didn't speak.

Jia Zheng said: "Brother Jing, Yuan Chun and we are a family."

"family?"

Jia Jing looked playful.

"But the eldest prince and you are not a family!"

Without hesitation, a basin of cold water was poured down, daydreamers like Jia Zheng had to wake him up!
Then Jia Jing said seriously to everyone: "Even if it's what you think, what if you succeed? How much worse can the family situation be than it is now? Don't be fooled by that vanity!
They all want to sit back and enjoy the benefits, but they don't think about making progress, and they don't think about it, can they afford the power and wealth?At that time, the greater the power, the greater the disaster. Is it really too late for my own death? "

Jia Jing asked questions one after another, causing everyone's expressions to change.

Being said to have lost her eyes, Jia's mother was originally a little angry, but immediately after Jia Jing's words, she couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Jia Lian and Jia Zhen, who were a little moved, were also shocked.

Hastily put away that unrealistic fantasy.

Before everyone could say anything, Jia Jing waved his hand, "There is no need to talk about this matter any more, but I have no plans to support anyone, and I am too lazy to support anyone, it's too troublesome!"

Jia Jing spoke from the heart.

After all, with Jia Jing's military power at this time, if he really wanted power, even if he rebelled and became emperor, it would only take some time for one person to fight a country.

The main reason is that Jia Jing is lazy!

Governing the country is really troublesome, and there are too many things to worry about.

That's why Jia Jing wanted to be a pure minister.

It's just that it seems that Jia Jing's path of being a pure minister may not last long!

…………

Dragon Head Palace.

Emperor Hongde talked to the Supreme Emperor about what happened today.

After the Supreme Emperor heard this, he leaned against the pillow and sat up with difficulty, and asked, "You two princes, didn't Jia Jing say who he was going to support?"

"Jia Jing said that she is too lazy to meddle in the Tian family's housework." Emperor Hongde replied truthfully.

After a pause, he added: "In addition, Jia Jing's attitude has become more and more problematic recently. Perfunctory and prevarication have become commonplace, and they are far from being compared with the past..."

"He, Jia Jing, originally wanted to be a pure minister."

The Supreme Emperor sighed, "It's just that what you did before was a bit too much, and the situation in the future will be a little hard to say..."
