Dajin royal family

Chapter 264 Prince's Mansion
In the lobby of King Zhao's Mansion.

Concubine Zhao's Zheng family was holding Jiang Heng, smiling all over her face, there was nothing difficult beside her, Chang Le and two little girls surrounded her, calling her grandmother non-stop, which made Zheng's heart burst into joy.

"Come, come, grandma will put it on for you."

Mrs. Zheng took the jade bracelets from the servant girls and put them on for the two little maids with her own hands.

"Thank you grandma." Changsun Qingyi reminded the two little girls.

Wunan and Chang Le bowed their knees and bowed to Zheng Shi in a dignified manner, which aroused Zheng Shi's infinite affection.

"Haven't been weaned yet, what a poor little girl, she must have froze in Liaodong."

Mrs. Zheng hugged her grandson and couldn't put it down, and Zhao Wang also showed a smile on the side.

Both Le Ping and Yan'er have grown into big girls, they knelt and sat on one side obediently, looking like a lady.

The hall was full of joy and laughter.

"You have to work hard, add another son to my son, and spread the branches and leaves for the palace."

While teasing her grandson, Zheng did not forget to remind Yuchi Chifan.

"Yes." Yuchi Chifan shyly agreed.

She originally thought that Princess Zhao's main concern today should be the elder Sun Qingyi. After all, the latter is not only a big wife, but also gave birth to her husband's eldest son. She did not expect that she would love her daughter Chang Le as much.

Jiang Chengxiao turned his gaze to Leping, but found that she was also looking at him.Suddenly meeting his elder brother's eyes, Le Ping blushed and bowed his head shyly.

Having grown up, she is also a big girl now, she is not as free as she used to be, which made Jiang Chengxiao really not used to it for a while.

The frown on the side is not like that, but full of joy.

In addition, the other younger sisters in the mansion had also grown up, and he was in a trance for a while.

"Who are you going to seek to enlighten your children?" Zheng asked Jiang Chengxiao and eldest grandson Qingyi while hugging her grandson.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "Aniang, Heng'er is still young, let's talk about it when he is five years old."

"This matter can't be sloppy, you have to plan in advance. Think about it for your mother, your grandfather, or the great Confucian Wang Hong, or Yu Gong, all three are fine."

Zhao Wangdao: "Okay, it will take a few years, now the child is still young, so why bother, who knows what will happen in a few years."

Mrs. Zheng hummed.

Jiang Chengxiao took the phrase 'a few years later' to heart, and he felt that these words seemed to be addressed to him.

Looking up, King Zhao gave him a look.

Zheng said: "By the way, Qingque, your grandfather was still talking about you a few days ago, you should find a time to meet him."

"My son has this intention. Cousin Ruxin has helped me a lot in Liaodong, and he is going to visit." Jiang Chengxiao said with a smile.

"That's good, my own people should do their best." Zheng nodded in satisfaction.

Now it is complete for the Zheng family. A few years ago, Jiang Chengxiao was transferred to Liaodong. Although it was because of His Majesty's attention, she still felt that the place was not good, and it was too far away from Luoyang. don't worry.

The most important thing is that the palace finally has a queen.

The women were talking about women's topics, Zhao Wang and Jiang Chengxiao went to the study after a while.

"Father, are you okay?"

Zhao Wang's temples are completely white, his face is wrinkled, and he looks old.

Hearing his son's words, Zhao Wang smiled lightly, "Don't worry, I won't die for the time being."

The inexplicable desolation in the words made Jiang Chengxiao sound very uncomfortable.

Zhao Wang picked up the teacup and said, "Tell me, what do you think of the current situation."

"Don't pretend to be stupid." Glancing at his son, he added.

Jiang Chengxiao pondered for a moment, and said truthfully: "If this continues, the world will be in chaos."

"What kind of chaos?"

Jiang Chengxiao paused, and then said: "I don't know about this."

This kid still doesn't want to tell the truth.

Zhao Wang shook his head, put down the teacup, and said slowly: "Then do you know why His Majesty doesn't take the banditry in Shandong and Hebei seriously now?"

"Because they are just bandits, as long as His Majesty is serious, they can be completely eliminated at any time." Jiang Chengxiao said.

Don't look at the raging rebellion in various places, but in fact it can't constitute a devastating blow to the imperial court.For example, Lu Mingyue from Hebei claimed to have an army of 5000, but Jiang Chengxiao beat him with only [-] men.

There are many good fighters in the imperial court, as long as the emperor devotes himself to suppressing the bandits, he will recover within a year.

"What does the father want to say?"

Jiang Chengxiao felt that there was something in Zhao Wang's words.

"Why don't you guess?"

"No, I can't guess what my father thinks." Jiang Chengxiao shook his head.

King Zhao suddenly felt a little tired.

Jiang Chengxiao is like a spinning top, if you whip him, he will move.If you don't smoke, he won't move. This kid is too vigilant.

It was so before, and it is still so now.

"You really can't guess?"

"Can't guess!"

King Zhao rolled his eyes in a rare way, "Okay, there are only us father and son here, let's talk. Others don't know you, so I don't know you."

Seeing Zhao Wang's serious expression, Jiang Chengxiao knew that he was not joking, so he said: "I think His Majesty should be waiting."

"Wait for what?"

"Wait for people to rebel!" Jiang Chengxiao said.

King Zhao glanced at him with satisfaction, and thought to himself; this kid was really pretending just now.

"Then do you know who His Majesty is waiting for to rebel?" King Zhao continued to ask.

"Guanzhong nobles?"

After a moment of silence, Jiang Chengxiao spoke his answer.

In fact, from the perspective of the general situation of the whole world, the Jin family is not very dangerous, because the aristocratic family has not made any moves yet.

To give a simple example, Fan Yang and the Lu family could easily provide [-] shi of grain to help the victims. If they had been loyal to the country in this way from the beginning, the banditry in Hebei would not have been so serious.

On the contrary, what would happen if aristocratic families entered the game and helped those who rebelled?
The result is obvious. The aristocratic family has a local reputation, has food in its hands, and has tenants.

There is money, there are people, there is the voice of the people.

Once there is a rebellion, the rioters will not occupy mountains and rivers, but cities!

So, don't look at the world as if it's in chaos now, in fact, a smart person can tell at a glance that it's not yet time to act.

The emperor is waiting for some people who can't bear it, waiting for them to show up.

This is a crisis created by the emperor himself, and it is not a hole dug by the emperor.

Pit those guys with ulterior motives.

It was precisely because of this that the emperor sent an imperial decree to Liaodong to discharge his military power, and Jiang Chengxiao immediately returned to Luoyang obediently.

It's not that he is really loyal, but that he can't stand out now.

Whoever comes out will die!
Of course, there are some exceptions, that is, the nobles in Guanzhong.

In other words, all powerful aristocratic families are excluded, because the world is essentially ruled by the emperor and the aristocratic family.

It's just that the two emperors of the Jin Dynasty tried their best to suppress them, so it seems that the aristocratic family is not so prosperous.

But if you are on their territory, you can see what the aristocratic family looks like.

The reason why Jiang Chengxiao said Guanzhong nobles was because the Guanzhong nobles were the biggest threat to the Jin family, and they were a powerful group that rose by military force.

More importantly, they have no fear of the Jin family.

Because the Jiang family was only elected to the throne by the Guanzhong nobles back then, but the Guanzhong nobles did not expect that the Jiang family would turn their backs and deny anyone after sitting on the throne.

"You are very smart."

Zhao Wang smiled knowingly, looking at the mature son in front of him, he was really satisfied.

"In the past few years, you have done a good job in Liaodong, persuading the farmers and mobilizing troops to attack the barbarians. You have managed the area in an orderly manner, which is very good."

Jiang Chengxiao was a little confused about what King Zhao meant, and said, "These are what I should do."

King Zhao nodded and asked, "Then do you think the nobles in Guanzhong will rebel?"

This question is really hard to answer.

Judging from the current situation, of course they will rebel!

Because they are not fools, it is obvious that today they want to completely destroy the family, how could they agree.

But the problem is, precisely because they are not fools, they know very well that this may be a hole dug by the emperor.

Under such circumstances, will they still rebel?
"I do not know."

Jiang Chengxiao stood up and said: "I don't know if the nobles in Guanzhong will rebel, but the people in Shandong and Hebei have already rebelled, and the court has completely lost the hearts of the people in these two places. If Your Majesty does not appease, it will continue." , it’s only a matter of time before other places.”

Zhao Wang nodded and agreed with his words.

"anything else?"

Jiang Chengxiao looked at Zhao Wang's white hair at the temples, sighed, and said: "The people can carry a boat or capsize it. If this goes on, there will be no one to fill the hole."
