Chapter 53

Jia Yu now not said that he forgot the Shi clan in the West Compound to the edge of the sky, but almost forgot it to the side.

Because compared to the Shi family, he had to face a more tricky matter that related to the entire Jia family.

Since December, the court has begun to secretly circulate a rumor that "the saint misses King Yizhong and the emperor's eldest grandson, and wants to bring back King Yizhong's family", and now this rumor has been confirmed in the early dynasty is not groundless - in the early dynasty, it is now ordered that the Ministry of Rites welcome back the former prince and the current family of King Yizhong, who were locked up in the imperial tomb after the rebellion was abolished.

The order is so sudden today that some of the people who are late to it are completely caught off guard. Moreover, after the order is given now, he will retreat from the court, and he will not give the courtiers a chance to admonish at all, which can't help but make people wonder what is the current thought: what is the attitude towards the prince today? What is the attitude towards the mistakes committed by the crown prince? What about the prince himself?

When it comes to the deposition of the prince's rebellion, people must also think of the courtiers who contributed to that rebellion, and among them, the uncles and nephews of the Jia family are particularly eye-catching, after all, the merits of these two can be said to be based on the defeat of the prince. When the crown prince returns, what is the future of these heroes? What will the prince do to these people?

Although everyone's scrutiny and discussion were extremely hidden, Jia Yu could still hear those whispers, and he could also feel those eyes, some were malicious, kind, indifferent, and some were inquisitive and worried, the latter came from the closest person who usually walked with him. His face didn't move, but his mind began to quickly think back to what he could remember about what would happen next at this time in his previous life.

Although he had long known that the abolished prince would resurrect, when he really faced it, Jia Yu still felt very bottomless in his heart, after all, some things had changed, and the matter of seizing the heir was extremely dangerous, a slight change could affect the entire situation, and the slightest carelessness was a matter of breaking bones. If God joked with him and didn't let things in the court develop like in the previous life, but changed like the things of the Jia family and Jia Daishan, he would really have no choice but to cry without tears.

Because of these intrigues and intrigues on the political zhì, compared with those old foxes who have been immersed in officialdom for decades, he is still too tender, and before he becomes able to play games with those old foxes without being played to death, his biggest reliance is the memory of his previous life. In the previous life, he stayed at home and played antiques all day long, except for spending all day drinking, he didn't know much about the things in the court, and now when he thinks about it, he can't wait to strangle himself - if only he could know more, even if he didn't know what was going on in secret, it would be good to remember all the major events that happened in the court on the surface! Fortunately, although Jia Daishan is gone, Jia Daihua is still there, and he won't even have someone to discuss.

After retiring from the dynasty, Jia Yu and Jia Daihua walked together, and after encountering Shi's affairs, they usually basically didn't see him without seeing him. Shi Hou Ye was naturally very indifferent to him and Jia Daihua, although he didn't show it on his face, but how did he hear a strange smell in it: "The Holy Majesty ordered to welcome back King Yizhong and the emperor's eldest grandson, and the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Family are about to be reunited, which is really gratifying." As for the two, they have meritorious service to the country, are loyal to the ministers, and everyone is looking at the 'merit', I am afraid that they will be added to the rank and promoted step by step, especially the nephew, who has already achieved such an achievement at a young age, and will definitely make meritorious contributions and worship the prime minister in the future. ”

What is the greatest credit of the Jia family? Isn't it the suppression of the prince's rebellion, and now that King Yizhong is back, I want to see if your Jia family will have a good life?

Jia Daihua smiled and replied: "I don't dare to be a magistrate, I am dozens of years old, and half of my body has already entered the earth, where do I still have the heart to pursue the addition of an official to a knight, and it is just a matter of the kindness of the saint to allow me to eat in the corpse." To make a contribution, you still have to rely on young people, I heard that the son of the Hou family has recently made great contributions and been promoted to an official position? It's really terrifying, the old man doesn't have the mental strength to do this, as long as he can keep the family business left by his ancestors, he will have the face to meet the ancestors underground. ”

Shi Hou Ye said lightly: "The dog is incompetent, and he doesn't dare to be praised by the grandfather of the country, but some of the last credits are not as good as the nephew's great military exploits and Jane is in the emperor's heart." ”

As he spoke, he moved his gaze to Jia Yu after Jia Dai's incarnation, and Jia Yu met his gaze without humility or arrogance: "I don't dare to be my uncle's praise, the second cousin is a young talent, both civil and military, where can the nephew be compared to this dull person, it is just a fluke to have a little credit." The second cousin is so good, presumably the uncle and aunt are very happy, and the nephew is here to congratulate the uncle. In addition, the nephew heard that the eldest cousin has been in poor health recently, but he is getting better? It stands to reason that the nephew should visit the eldest cousin in person, but the New Year is approaching, and there are many affairs, and the nephew is really inseparable, and he hopes that the uncle, aunt and cousin will forgive him for the rudeness. ”

Shi Houye's three sons, the eldest son has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and he looks sick and crooked all day long, and he is a well-known medicine jar. Among the other two sons of the Shi family, although the second son is not favored as the third son because of his middle ranking, he has already made contributions with his own ability; The third son is better, although he has no meritorious service, but because he is the youngest son, he is the most favored by Shi Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou. In this case, the title of the Shi family becomes ambiguous - this is similar to the scene before the Jia family brothers competed, and the younger brother already has the ability or strength to threaten the eldest son. In particular, the third son of the Shi family was extremely favored by his parents, and the son of the Shi family not only failed to have a grandmother to protect him like Jia Yu, but also because of his frail health, he still has no eldest sonΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·

Uncle, nephew, I sincerely wish you "harmony in the family house" and "harmony in your children and grandchildren"!

The malice in his eyes flashed for a moment, but in an instant, he became the good nephew of the brother who was gentle and polite to his mother: "The eldest cousin is not in good health, and the nephew heard that there is a temple outside the city that has a peace charm that is extremely effective, and when he has time, the nephew will go to ask for one for the eldest cousin, so as to show that the nephew cannot go to see the eldest cousin's apology; The second cousin is extremely capable, and the nephew is here to congratulate the uncle, and the second cousin will definitely go to the pavilion to pay respects in the future, and the nephew will have to rely on the uncle and the second cousin to support him. ”

Shi Hou Ye frowned and said: "Let's go, you don't need to ask for any Laoshizi peace charm, there is still no shortage of manpower in my family." Since there are many things in the court, you can do your business with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about your cousin's affairs. ”

For Jia Yu, the nephew who dared to lock his sister up in the Buddhist hall, Shi Houye really couldn't raise his good feelings. Although Jia Yu is Shi's biological son, Shi is his sister-in-law, between mother and son, of course, he is biased towards his sister Shi, so he is extremely dissatisfied with the Jia family's treatment of Shi, but what Shi did made him unreasonable to confront the Jia family for her.

- You said that you, just do those things and do them, can't you do it cleanly and leave no trouble? actually let his mother-in-law grasp the handle, not just the handle of one thing, if he didn't give in at that time, and Mrs. Jia shook out those things, the reputation of the Jia family would certainly be affected, but the impact on the Shi family would be even stricter, and if the hat of a goddaughter was not properly buttoned down, the girls in the entire Shi family would not have to marry, and he, the patriarch, would not have the face to meet the ancestors of the Shi family.

That's it, he won't have any good feelings for Jia Yu, let alone Jia Yu, even that Jia Zheng, he doesn't have a good impression - he has no ability to even protect his mother, he only knows how to have fun and talk about it, and even the official position of that petty official is not earned by his own ability, but Jia Daishan asked for him before he died, what is the use of such a person? Under his instruction, the Shi family was better to Jia Zheng's side than Jia Yu's side, but he just watched Jia Zheng be closer to Shi than Jia Yu to Shi, and maybe he could help Shi in the Buddhist hall.

Originally, he wanted to use the matter of King Yizhong to ridicule the uncle and nephew, but in the end nothing was done, and Shi Houye's face was slightly gloomy and he left. As soon as he left, the uncle and nephew looked at each other and smiled, and Jia Daihua said as he walked: "Speaking of which, Yu'er hasn't come to me to see Brother Lang for a long time, could it be that he has forgotten him aside?" It's a shame that Brother Lang is talking to you every day, saying why Uncle Yu didn't come to see him, didn't he do something wrong to make you angry with him. ”

Jia Yu continued without changing his face: "It's mine, no, I told Brother Lang that I would go to see him again, but I forgot about it as soon as there were many things, so my nephew will go to the uncle's mansion today to disturb me." ”

It seems that the person who went to Ning Guofu to see Jia Lang a few days ago is not him.

Of course, going to Ningguo Mansion is not just as simple as visiting Jia Lang, after seeing Jia Lang, Jia Daihua called him and Jia Jing to the study, and the first thing he said was: "The Holy Majesty ordered that the Ministry of Rites should welcome back King Yizhong, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Jia Jing looked a little listless on this day, and just said after listening to it: "The thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly graces, and those who are courtiers can only be grateful, and they dare not speculate on the holy will." ”

Jia Daihua almost threw out the Ruyao teacup at hand: "Who told you to speculate on the holy will?" I'm asking you what you think! ”

Jia Yu hurriedly played a round: "Uncle, don't worry, Brother Jing didn't mean this, he just didn't react for a while." Brother Jing didn't look very good today, but what gossip did he hear when he was in the Hanlin Academy? ”

In a word.

Jia Jing hesitated for a while, and finally fell into defeat in Jia Daihua's eyes: "I am in the Hanlin Courtyard today, after knowing the will of the saints, everyone in the Hanlin Courtyard was in an uproar, some people said that others were fine, but our family directly pulled the Yizhong Wang's family from that position, and after the Yizhong King came back, our family was about to be in great trouble; Some people say that the Holy Lord is dissatisfied with our family, so he will recall King Yizhong, although they all said it behind my back, but I also heard a few words. ”

Jia Yu frowned: "What is this?" Our family has not done anything, and has always been loyal to the Holy One, so how can the Holy One be dissatisfied with our family? Moreover, if the Holy One is really dissatisfied with our family, and a holy decree can be disposed of, why should King Yizhong be recalled, the person who said this is too brainless. ”

Jia Jing pursed his lips: "I also know this, but it's not this that I'm worried about." Father, did you say that after King Yizhong returns, will he take revenge on our family? There is a saying that 'the official level crushes people to death', not to mention that the righteous and loyal Wang Gui is the princeΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

Jia Daihua looked away and asked, "Yu'er, what do you think?" ”

Jia Yu pondered for a while and replied: "Uncle, according to my nephew, King Yizhong will not take revenge on our family, nor will he win over our family. ”

"Oh, why?" Jia Daihua was quite interested and asked: "I can understand that there will be no revenge, but what do you mean that you won't co-opt?" I'm not afraid to say something boastful, although I'm old, but with you and Jing'er, the Jia family is not considered to have no successor, if you take refuge, you can still help King Yizhong, and our family is still among the 'four kings and eight princes'. ”

Jia Yu smiled and shook his head: "Uncle, it's better for our family not to get involved in the 'Four Kings and Eight Princes', after all, from ancient times to the present, forming a party has never had a good end, and the 'Four Kings and Eight Princes' are not of one heart, so our family should not be involved." As for why the nephew said that King Yizhong would not take revenge and would not win over our family, it was because if he took revenge, he would think that his rebellious heart would not die, and the so-called repentance was just a pretense, which was too risky for the current King Yizhong, and he could not afford to take this risk, because now his greatest reliance is the favor of the saint; In the same way, he will not win over our family, otherwise he will be considered by the Holy Lord to be a party for personal gain, and the rebellious heart will not die, so for a period of time, our family will be safe. ”

Jia Daihua turned his head to look at Jia Jing: "Jing'er, do you understand?" ”

Jia Jing guessed: "So, now King Yizhong is in a dilemma, and he can't act rashly?" ”

Jia Daihua nodded: "King Yizhong has done such a rebellious thing, although he can now come back with the mercy of the Holy Lord, he can't do anything more." And the connection between King Yizhong and the Zhao family was too close before, and now the Zhao family is ruined, and King Yizhong has nothing to rely on except for the mercy of the saint. ”

When King Yizhong was still the crown prince, the Zhao family put all the bets on him, and naturally did not allow other families to share the benefits - so, the prince's mother came from the Zhao family, the prince's wife came from the Zhao family, and the wife of the prince's eldest son also came from the Zhao family.

Jia Daihua thinks that King Yizhong can't turn over the storm, but Jia Yu doesn't think so: "Uncle, my nephew doesn't think so, our family will just be safe for a while." When King Yizhong returns to the throne of the crown prince, our family must be careful, and for this reason, we must take precautions. ”

Jia Daihua and Jia Jing both looked at him in surprise, and Jia Daihua asked, "Yu'er, what did you say?" ”

Since the founding of the country, there has never been a situation like Jia Yu said in this dynasty, and there has never been a prince who was abolished and re-established.
