After three days of investigation, Jia Daishan found that Jia Zheng was involved in such a family in the capital, and even the shadow of the royal family covered Jizhong, he never thought that the marriage of Jia Zheng's second son would make him so worried, and he really looked up to his Jia family.

Jia Daishan looked at the thin pieces of paper in his hand, his face flickered, and the anger on his body was like a bow and arrow, which made people tremble, and laughed: "What a county uncle, a good royal family, has such great ability and so much effort, if he is not as good as he wants, I am really sorry for him for such a good means." ”

I didn't expect that I thought it was a simple design, but there were so many entanglements of interests behind it. A small boat family is attached to the Jinling Xue family on the surface, but behind the scenes, he also has a twisting and turning relationship with the Duke of Chengen and the King of Xining County. The county officials don't say anything else, there is the shadow of the four princes, I didn't expect the Wang family to be so bold, the saint is in the prime of life today, not to mention that the throne can sit for another ten years, not to mention that there is no saint and the prince. Now I can't wait to stand on the side of the queen and the four princes, I really don't know whether to live or die. also wanted to tie the Jia family together. They thought that the Holy Lord and the crown prince would watch like this.

Jia Quan stood trembling with his head down, listening to the laughter, his body couldn't help but tremble, he had been by Jia Daishan's side for decades, and he also knew a little bit about his temper. These people are really, but they just want to let King Jia and Wang get married, but they have made so many things, I really see that their Jia family is too easy to deceive.

Jia Daishan calmed down his anger, knocked on the table with his hand unconsciously, thought deeply, and said: "Jia Quan, I heard that the Xue family kid is coming to Kyoto in the near future, since he has an old relationship with our family, he should treat the friendship of the ancestors well, do you say yes." ”

"What the old lady said is that the old lady also had a lot of dealings with the Xue family when he was alive. When the uncle of the Xue family came to Beijing, he should have treated him well. Jia Quan was taken aback by Jia Daishan's gloomy tone, and hurriedly agreed. Ke Xin is very sympathetic to the uncle of the Xue family, but the Xue family deserves it, who let them calculate the Jia family first.

"There is also that county official, but the little seven-grade official, even dared to come to the Jia family, I heard that this person was born in a poor family, luckily in the top three, sent to be a county official, less than a year to become a county official, in just three years to earn a net worth of more than 100,000 yuan, accepted the daughter of a local rich businessman as a concubine, it is really enjoyable. 'Three years of Qingzhi County, 100,000 snowflakes of silver' is not false at all for him. Jia Quan asked people to find a few bitter masters to bring back to Beijing and send them to Jingzhao Yamen, so that they could eliminate corrupt officials for the local people. “

"Master, the slave will let people do it. In this way, the people behind it are afraid that they will not get along with our house. Jia Quan worried.

Jia Daishan didn't care, he chuckled, and said with a slightly gloating look in his eyes: "His master is too busy to protect himself, how can he have time to save him, but he is just a little minion, who do you expect to save him, I'm afraid that he will be cleaned up early." ”

Jia Quan looked at Jia Daishan suspiciously, the old man was so embarrassed that he did something he didn't know.

"The saint in the palace has always been very interested in the affairs of our family's house, do you think this time will be an exception. I'm afraid that at this time, the imperial case in the Heart Cultivation Hall has already presented a more detailed excerpt than mine. With the temperament of a saint, I am afraid that the next one will be busy. Jia Daishan chuckled.

Jia Quan also laughed out loud when he heard it.

Jia Daishan straightened his face, and said solemnly: "Okay, this matter has its own saint judgment, let's settle for the courtiers." As for Li Haoyu, don't worry about it, I have already let Ziyi look at him. dared to take medicine in Zheng'er's food, and he was very bold. ”

Jia Quan said cautiously: "What should the second master of the Qi family do?" These people are really exquisitely designed, one ring after another, which is really eye-catching.

Jia Daishan of the Qi family was also a little embarrassed, and when he came to find out, the Qi family really did not collude with the Wang family. But this matter is the second child of the Qi family, but it plays a vital role. If it hadn't been for the invitation to Mr. Annex, this matter would not have gone so smoothly from the beginning. Second, the Qi family is the mother-in-law of the daughter-in-law's mother-in-law and the second sister-in-law, even if it is in the face of the Zhang family, this matter can no longer be investigated. Whether it is intentional or coincidental, if you don't ask at all, Jia Daishan is not reconciled.

"You go and send a copy of the things you investigated today to your in-laws, and then focus on the affairs of the Qi family, and you will know what to do if you want to come to your in-laws. Jia Daishan thought about it, after all, this matter was related to the emperor, so it was better to let Zhang Changgong know in advance. If the Qi family is really involved in this matter, it means that he is already a person of the four princes and has to guard against it.

After everything was arranged, Jia Daishan waved his hand to let Jia Quan go down. Alone in the study, deep in thought. "Alas. Jia Daishan sighed. I thought that this matter was against the Jia family, but I didn't expect it to be shocking when I checked it, I thought that there would be at least ten years of peace in this court, but I didn't want to calm down and there was a dark tide surging below, but where would the Jia family go in the future.

The prince ran home happily and said happily: "Father, the Hou family has rejected the Jia family's request to marry. After finishing speaking, he looked at Wang Hao's face with a slight coldness, and there was no joy at all, he looked at him coldly, threw a fold over casually, and said angrily: "You bastard, look at what you have done?"

Wang Ziteng saw something flying over, subconsciously avoided it, listening to his father's angry scolding, he was confused and didn't understand what he had done to make his father so annoyed, and said aggrievedly: "Father, my son has been in the barracks for the past few days, safe and stable, he hasn't done anything, are you mistaken." ”

"Didn't do anything? See for yourself. Wang Hao still didn't admit it, and he couldn't reply.

Prince Teng Yiyan picked up the fold on the ground, opened it and was very shocked, it was full of memories of his whereabouts this month, who he saw, what he said, and he recorded it word for word. Wang Ziteng's eyes flashed with gloom, he thought that he was cautious enough, but he didn't expect to be investigated by his father. In a blink of an eye, I looked at Wang Fu who was silently bowing his head in the corner, and I am afraid that this fold is from him. I thought that Wang Fu was just an ordinary housekeeper, but I didn't expect this to have this ability.

Wang Hao saw his son looking at Wang Fu gloomily, and asked loudly: "Did you say that you did Jia Zheng's matter, did you reach an agreement with the fourth prince Chengengong, and the Xue family, did you arrange Li Haoyu?" ”

Seeing that his father had found out clearly, Wang Ziteng did not allow him to quibble, and said generously: "Yes, father." Haven't you found it all out? The son is also for the future of the Wang family. ”

"For the sake of the Wang family, if you don't take this word, I will also be blinded, and the Jia family will not say it in advance. You made your own decisions about the four princes without consulting me in advance, did you put my father in your eyes and the Wang family in your heart. Wang Hao saw that he still didn't know what was wrong, so he was angry.

Listening to the words of Chai Xin, Wang Ziteng was very sad, he was a little selfish in this matter, but most of it was also for the sake of the Wang family. The Wang family will be inherited by the eldest brother in the future, and he must also make plans for the future. But this is also done in the interests of the Wang family, why doesn't my father explain it?

For a while, the atmosphere in the study was solemn, Wang Hao sat on the chair angrily, Wang Zi Teng refused to admit his mistake and stood in front of the desk, no one spoke, Wang Fu had no choice but to step forward and persuade: "Master, the second master is still young, and there are people who act recklessly, you can tell him well, the second master will understand your hard work." ”

His son also understands that the means, scheming, and ability are not bad, but he is too stubborn, and ten cows can't pull back the things he recognizes. After calming the anger in his heart, he said: "Teng'er, my father doesn't blame you, it's just that the four princes are too anxious. Seeing that his son wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, he waved, "You listen to your father first, and then you can talk about grievances if you feel that there are still grievances." Your mistake is that it's not the right time, and it's too early. Let's not talk about the crown prince, but with the body of a saint, he can live for at least ten years. What you are doing now is either obstructing the eyes of the saints or being unfaithful to the saints. Are you?"

Wang Ziteng also knew that what his father said was very reasonable, but in order to prevent the marriage of the two families of Jiahou, he had to act like this. "Father, the son you mentioned has considered it, and also analyzed that the possibility of the crown prince succeeding to the throne is too small, and among the remaining princes, it is the most likely that the fourth prince is the most likely, after all, he has the support and protection of the queen and the six princes. Besides, the son did not have direct contact with the people of the six princes, but communicated it through Guò Chengengong. ”

"What is the difference between this Cheng'en Gong and the four princes, they are originally people in the same boat. Wang Hao said helplessly, "What did they ask you to do?"

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that everyone wants to profit from the Jia family, and it's not that we can't stand in line, we want to marry the Jia family. Gong Cheng also wanted to marry, but unfortunately the queen had tempted the saint, and there was no hope for this matter, so they figured out the Guò Wang family to control the Jia family. If the marriage of Wang and Jia is bound to stand on the same line, and our Wang family falls to the four princes, then the Jia family has no choice, not to mention that there are two in-laws behind the Jia family, the Shi family and the Zhang family, these three forces cover most of the civil and military official history of the dynasty. Wang Ziteng told them all about what they discussed.

"Alas, you are still too young, you act too seriously, you are so easy to deceive as Jia Daishan, Mo is not married to King Jia now, even if it is married, as long as what our Wang family does is detrimental to the interests of the Jia family, he will mercilessly draw a clear relationship between the Jia family and our Wang family. Do you think you can hide this from Jia Daishan? It's so naïve. Wang Hao said helplessly, he and his son both wanted to benefit from the Jia family too much, but they had always forgotten Jia Daishan's character, even if they could marry him in the end, the Wang family was afraid that there would not be too many benefits.

"Father, what are we going to do now, it's all done. After listening to his father's analysis, Wang Ziteng said anxiously.

"Now we can only respond to changes with the same, and now the initiative is no longer in our hands. That too can only wait. "Wang Hao has no other way, this matter was wrong from the beginning, and now it can only be like this.

After reading the investigation, Emperor Kangqing understood the ins and outs of this matter, and also saw the connections and intentions of the queen and the four princes, he was very frightened, and then asked Liang Degui to recruit Jia Daishan into the palace to talk secretly, as for what the two talked about, no one knows, even Liang Degui, who Emperor Kangqing trusts the most, does not know, but he vaguely feels that there have been great changes in the palace recently.

Sure enough, the next day, Emperor Kangqing issued several holy decrees resolutely, the first one, seized the power of the queen's six palaces, and now he is recuperating in Kunning Palace, and he is not allowed to go out if he has nothing to do. The affairs of the palace are led by the concubine, and the concubines, concubines, and concubines are in charge of the three concurrently. mentioned how happy these four people were, only to say that the holy decree arrived at Kunning Palace, and as soon as Liang Degui finished announcing it, the queen collapsed to the ground in a gaffe, her face pale.

The second holy decree will be the four princes who will go out of the palace to build a mansion next year as the king of Anning County, pointing to a house to move out of the palace, than the three princes in the palace to become princes, properly out of the palace, the four princes are in a hurry and bleak. Not to mention that one is a prince and the other is a county king, it stands to reason that the rank of the four princes who are the concubines of the middle palace should be on the third prince, but now they are pressed below, not to mention the word 'tranquility', tranquility, this is Emperor Kangqing's warning to him. Later, Zhao Hui, the eldest granddaughter of the former scholar Zhao Hong, pointed out that the fourth prince was the concubine and got married in October. Although the Zhao family is a university scholar, only Zhao Hong was a scholar last year, and there is only a prince and a prince on his body, and Zhao Hui's father is only a third-grade Taichang Siqing, and Zhao Hui's grandmother passed away when he was fifteen years old, and now he is eighteen, one year older than the king of Anning County. Whether it is a family, the character is a little worse than the three imperial concubines back then. After the queen got the news, she was already not well, and she fell ill all of a sudden. The four princes accepted it silently from beginning to end, and they didn't know what they thought in their hearts. The ministers of the court and the central government also speculated whether the four princes were also disgusted by Emperor Kangqing, and they were close and distant to the four princes.

The Wang family, the Cheng'en Mansion, the Xining County Palace, and the Xue family also received the holy decree of reprimand.

Wang family, Wang Hao was dismissed from his official position and recuperated at home, Wang Ziteng was transferred from Beijing to the northwest, but fortunately, the saint's grace was crowned a general manager of the nine products. Although it is a bitter cold place in the northwest, it can be regarded as a high-grade in the end. It's just that because he has affected his father, he is still very guilty.

The Cheng'en Mansion and the Xining County Mansion were fined for three years as a military sound, only as a warning. The Xue family was dismissed for a year of internal silver, Master Xue was sick during this time, and the affairs of the family were handed over to his son, and he didn't know what his son had done until he received the holy decree, and he didn't care about being sick, so he immediately wrote a plea for sin, and then cleaned his own house, and handed it to Emperor Kangqing through the secret channel. Whether the saint believes or not, this is not his concern. The plea is an expression of his faithfulness.

However, the most unlucky county official in this matter was found guilty of many crimes, embezzlement and bribery, collusion with bandits, etc., not only himself, but also more than a dozen officials of all sizes. Emperor Kangqing was furious, and these people who were severely punished, the court settled down again, and everyone was cautious, this situation made Emperor Kangqing very satisfied. The crown prince was also more relieved when he saw the fate of the queen and the four princes, and he also understood that his father would not let anyone threaten his position. As for how long he can maintain this condition, he doesn't know, but he is more cautious and careful.

Rongguofu also received an edict from Emperor Kangqing, and he actually asked the Jia family to marry the Wang family, because of this matter, the two families were basically endless, and I don't know what the sage thought to let the two families get married.

What Jia Daishan didn't know was that Emperor Kang Qing slowly reacted afterwards and felt that he was used by Jia Daishan, although this matter involved the four princes because of him, but Emperor Kang Qing still had a knot in his heart, since he was not fast, Jia Daishan, who was the initiator, could not be too comfortable, the more he didn't want to marry the Wang family, so he let the two families of Jia and Wang get married. Hence this message.

Jia Daishan thought that since the saints had made a decree, it was imperative to marry him, but he had rejected the Wang family so many times before, and now let him take the initiative to come to the door, and the threshold in his heart was really unbearable.

After the old lady found out, she asked several female relatives who knew each other to come to the house to sit at home, including the mother and daughter of the Wang family. That day, Mrs. Wang only brought Wang Jian and Wang Huan. Wang Xin was given a person by Wang Hao at the beginning of the year, because he had only recently returned from a study tour with Mr., and the family affairs had just been decided, and that person was Li Haoyu who drugged Jia Zheng.

The old lady looked at the two girls from the Wang family who came to visit, and said with a smile: "No courtesy, no courtesy." As he spoke, he pulled them in front of him and looked at them carefully, Wang Ji was wearing a long skirt embroidered with red silk and peony flowers, covered with lotus silk pipa, and red edging gowns. The head is full of black hair and is tied into a Lingyun bun, with a golden phoenix hairpin inlaid with precious stones, and a gold-inlaid tourmaline dotted with emerald hairpins and a few silk flowers obliquely inserted next to it. The head of the mantis has eyebrows, bright eyes and bright teeth, and the skin is like congealed fat. Words and actions are generous and steady, dignified and elegant.

Wang Huan was wearing a jade-colored cardigan feather gauze dress with a pleated Yanluo Ruyi moon skirt, combing a double-ring bun and only bringing a few beaded flowers. The eyebrows are picturesque, and the eyes are bright. The words are smiling, and she is more beautiful than her sister.

The old lady between the two prefers Wang Huan, and Wang Huan is more suitable to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the family and the housewife. And Wang Huan is more comfortable and relaxed to get along with.

After the old lady had a plan in her heart, she smiled and said to Mrs. Wang: "Madame is really a blessing, these two girls in your family are not good-looking, and their temperament is also good, and there are not a few girls in this capital to compare." Compare our family's Min'er to the bottom. ”

Wang Fu was very happy when he heard the old lady praise his daughter, but he still said modestly: "Old lady, I praise them too much, compared to Sister Min in the house, they can't be compared with the fire." ”

The old lady didn't answer her words, but just took two boxes from Mama Gu and gave them them, "The first time I saw you, I didn't have anything, you can play with this little gadget." ”

"Thank you, old lady. The two sisters looked at their mother, and when they saw her nodding, they took it and saluted and thanked her.

After giving gifts, the old lady asked the girl to send the two to the garden and let Jia Min entertain them.
