Chapter 81: The New Emperor
As Jiang Zining expected, in winter, many provinces in the north were once again drought and cold, but fortunately, there was no major disaster in the south, and the tax revenue was always sufficient, all of which were used for disaster relief. This situation has been going on for some years, and the emperor is not too worried, but this year, there was a civil uprising in Gansu, Henan and other places, although the scale was not large, it was quickly suppressed, and it was enough to attract the attention of the emperor.
And the root of all this lies in the loss of power of the crown prince, the second prince himself is not capable enough to restrain the doorman, but his power is extremely expanded, and no one can touch his edge. At the same time, at this moment, the emperor also noticed that he has been obscure fourth son Zhao Qisheng, Zhao Qisheng was born to the late Jiang Zhaoyi, Jiang Zhaoyi was not favored, and went early in his early years, when Concubine De's eldest son died, Concubine De's temperament was soft, which was very much in line with his heart, after the death of the eldest son, he was heartbroken, and the saint took pity on him, and raised Zhao Qisheng under the knees of Concubine De, and later Concubine De had a lively and lovely second princess and a naughty Nine Emperor Son, Zhao Qisheng was even more neglected. As an adult, Zhao Qisheng ranked third, but he was willing to be a follower behind the prince, he had the same baby face as his mother, he never showed a sense of threat among his brothers, and in the emperor's heart, he was just a son who was not heroic enough but still loyal, far from being in his list of heirs.
The prince is both a grandson and a long, and there is no more suitable than him in terms of identity, but unfortunately he is not patient enough, he is squinted by the power, and he forgets the family affection of his father and son.
The second son is a good one, good at martial arts and atmospheric, although he is a little short-tempered, but there is no big problem with his own look, he has always been his most desirable child. The former prince was bad, and he once wanted him to take over the throne, and he also turned a blind eye to his efforts to rein in the former prince's power, but now it seems that the second child has soft ears and trusts the Zhen family too much, and he can't control his own power at all.
The old six temperaments are comfortable and atmospheric, but they are not interested in the government, they only like landscape poetry and painting, they were calculated when they were young, their bodies were weak, and they were sick at both ends in three days.
The seventh child has a good talent, and he can handle it in both civil and military affairs, and he seems to be very liked by those old men in the clan, except for the second child, who has the highest voice in the court. However, compared to the brothers above him, he is still a little younger, not to mention the quarrels with the second child these days, which has turned the entire harem court into a vegetable market. The emperor's eyes flashed, and the old way hidden in his house, he was half unbeliever before, when he didn't know his mind!
The following are even younger, even if there are one or two with good talents and can be trained, I don't know if I can survive that time, and there is no reason in the world to abandon the elder and choose the young.
In the eyes of others, he is still the fourth prince who does not show the landscape, but in the eyes of the saints who have experienced the turmoil, this is a great ability.
Since the former prince forced the palace, the emperor was so angry that he vomited blood, his body was not as good as day by day, the imperial doctor repeatedly pleaded to take care of his body, and now the north is unstable, and there are a lot of chaos in the south, he really has no heart and ability to continue to control the government, and after thinking twice, he decided to abdicate and pass the throne to the fourth. Even if you don't like his appearance anymore, no matter how partial you are to the second child, the emperor's sense of responsibility is coming, and he can't let the ancestral foundation be ruined in his own hands.
When the holy decree was handed down, the Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar, and the Second Princes and the Seventh Princes were jumping up and down, making a lot of trouble, but, looking at the panic of the Manchu Dynasty, in fact, several families in charge of the army did not stand in line now, and the old foxes with the highest prestige in the cabinet only shouted that the emperor thought twice, and looked no different from the party members in the court who forced the emperor to withdraw the holy decree, and the emperor knew that they didn't care which one was on top, and whoever was in charge had to please themselves. In addition, the emperor was determined to abdicate, and after becoming the emperor, he helped to calm the strength of the court, but it went smoothly.
But if it has been like this, after the emperor's abdication, his body is getting better day by day, but the new emperor's means are becoming more and more tough, the emperor is looking at the young son in charge of the world, he is old and frail and has to shrink in the palace, and the second is his favorite second son does not return to the original flamboyant atmosphere, more and more cautious, very distressed, completely forgetting his original suppression of him, only looking at the fourth son who ascended the throne is not pleasing to the eye, and supporting the second son to confront the new emperor. Of course, that's another story.
These have nothing to do with the Jia family, oh no, it's not unrelated, after the new emperor ascended the throne, Jia Yuanchun, who was originally regarded as an abandoned son, got up and was named Jieyu, Mrs. Jia Muwang was very happy, invited the play, held a banquet, and invited her family to eat and drink.
Jia Lu followed her sister-in-law Zhang and Rong's nephew's daughter-in-law Shen to Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Rong's daughters-in-law were not the ones that Zhang had taken a fancy to at the beginning, but he chose them himself. Jia Rong is very mature on weekdays, but she has an innocent nature, plus a talented and beautiful woman who is admired by scholars, she has always hoped to find a beautiful and gentle and talented wife, but she was strictly regarded by her mother when she studied before, even if she met a girl at the banquet, she didn't like it. Later, the results of the palace examination came out, fifty-seven in the second class, the family opened up the joints for him, and the mother's Zhang family also made a lot of efforts, and arranged him to the Hanlin Academy, and met a fellow, who had a sister, beautiful and talented, gentle and shy, Jia Rong fell in love at first sight, and tried to let her mother Zhang ask a matchmaker to pass the door, Zhang's heart was high, and he was bent on finding a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family。 How could she agree with a poor Hanlin girl, but Jia Rong only wanted her, and pleaded with her grandmother, that is, Jia Lu's mother Han's family, Han is not like Zhang's, as long as the child likes it, the family background is innocent, and the girl has a good character, it is okay, and after inquiring about it, she knew that it was a good child, so she agreed. After the exchange of Geng posts and everything settled, Zhang only knew. Zhang's didn't dare to complain about his mother-in-law, so he had to sprinkle his anger on Shen's head, and the few that Han took a fancy to, in the first draft after the new emperor ascended the throne, either entered the harem as the master's mother, or became the princess's side concubine, which made her hate it even more, so she was often embarrassed with her, Shen was gentle and never complained, although Jia Rong was aware of it, but her mother-in-law disciplined her daughter-in-law naturally, and she couldn't get involved. Han's heart is to help one or two, but his health is not good, and he can't protect it, but Jia Lu often maintains one or two after knowing it.
No, when he arrived at the Rong Mansion, Jia Lu saw Zhang Shi looking at Wang Xifeng, who was busy and flying up and down like a butterfly, and then looked at the quiet and timid daughter-in-law behind him, raised his eyebrows, a little displeased, as if he wanted to say something, Jia Lu pulled Shen Shi to the direction of the backyard, and said,
"Sister-in-law borrows my niece and daughter-in-law, and I'll take her to meet someone!"
Jia Lu is a sister-in-law in the end, and the Han family didn't dare to refute her meaning, and it was in public, so they nodded and let them go because of their face.
