Chapter 303: The Big Picture Is Decided
Seeing that everyone agreed to Jia Ke's method, Jia Mu knew that this matter should be over, so she sat in the middle and said: "Since everyone agrees with the eldest brother's method, then let's make up our minds, continue to be loyal servants of the old emperor, as for the third prince, wait for a year or two." However, there can't be any slacking off in the eldest girl, and the things that should be sent in the house can't be missing, and they must be doubled compared to previous years. ”
Everyone did not refute, only Jia Yu said a little unhappily: "Every year, I have to send tens of thousands of taels of silver to the eldest girl, and I will double it this year, and I will not let the house live." I think the eldest girl is the daughter of the second brother, so just let the second brother bear this matter alone, and there is no need to go to the public middle school in the house. ”
How do you know that as soon as he finished saying this, Jia Mu was angry, and smashed the teacup in her hand like Jia Yu, "You ignorant fool, when you enjoy the glory and wealth, you think of the big girl, and now send some money, you feel distressed, don't you plan to touch the light of the big girl in the future?" ”
Although Jia Yu knew that he would definitely become a concubine when he beat Jia Yuanchun in the future, and the mansion would rely on her, but every time he thought of tens of thousands of taels of silver, he sent it to her in vain, and Rongguo Mansion's own expenses were a little tight, especially on their big house, because the Bing Jing and carbon respect sent by the officials outside showed that it was for Jia Zheng, although Jia Zheng said that all of them were sent to Gongzhong, but there was also Mrs. Wang supervising next to him, and it was completely impossible for Jia Yu to get any benefits from this money.
Therefore, Shang Jia's annual income is only the money issued by the public, without any extra money, so his life is quite inconvenient, and he now wants to make more money in the house, and he is so rich, so the thought of this angered Jia's mother.
Jia Yu was also frightened when he saw Jia's mother angry, you must know that he has been very afraid of Jia's mother since he was a child, and when he saw her angry, he didn't dare to have any neglect, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kept asking for forgiveness.
Mother Jia squinted her eyes and looked at Jia Yu, and then said, "Why did the eldest girl enter the palace, everyone in the house knows that she is for her own glory and wealth?" She is for you uncompetitive old men, and she has to add some luck to our Jia family as a woman. From now on, if anyone says these words again, it will be inevitable that I will hear a board. ”
When Jia Yu heard Jia's mother's reply, he knew that he was really angry, so he hurriedly replied: "What the mother said is that her son was confused just now. I hope that the mother will spare me this time for the sake of her son's short-sightedness and nonsense. ”
When Jia Mu heard Jia Yu's continuous apology, she didn't say anything anymore and waved her hand to let him sit back down. Then he turned around and asked Jia Ke, "We are still loyal to the old emperor, and the third prince is the new emperor, will it be difficult for the eldest girl?" ”
Jia Ke is not worried about this at all, even if the new emperor wants to embarrass Jia Yuanchun, he must also consider the consequences, you must know that the soldiers and horses in the capital are inseparable from the Jia family, as long as the third prince is not crazy, he will never dare to embarrass Jia Yuanchun, and even in order to win them over, he has to favor Jia Yingchun.
When Jia Ke gave her judgment back to Jia's mother, she was relieved, and at the same time a little proud, even the emperor had to look at their Jia family's face and act. At the same time, some worries rose in my heart, after all, these inheritances have not ended well since ancient times.
But Jia Mu firmly suppressed this worry in her heart, because she knew that if Quan Chen wanted to live, there was still a way to go, and she watched Jia Ke's actions coldly beside her, and she was running wildly towards this road.
After the end of this meeting, Rongguo Mansion secretly informed relatives and friends of the meaning of the Jia family, many of whom were the cronies and subordinates of the second Duke of Rongning at the time, and then there were old relatives like Wang Ziteng, who were both prosperous and loss-oriented.
Among them, Wang Ziteng's attitude towards the Jia family was very agreeable, and Wang Ziteng himself was the henchman of the old emperor, so naturally he could not vote for the third prince. Now that the Jia family is on the same position as him, everyone is naturally in the same breath, and they can take care of each other more in the future. As long as the two families join forces, even the new emperor will be afraid.
The major policy of Rongguo Mansion for the next few years was set on this day, and the news quickly reached the desk of the old emperor and the third prince.
But there is nothing strange about these two people, the old emperor instinctively thinks that Jia Ke is loyal to him and will never have other ideas, so he is not surprised by this report.
And the third prince has long been inseparable from Jia Ke, and he didn't have the idea that Jia Ke would surrender to him at all, so he was not disappointed.
After more than ten days, on the day of the second day of February, the old emperor finally recovered his body and began his first great dynasty this year.
This time the dynasty was different and was not held in the Qianqing Gate, but in the Taihe Palace. When everyone received this news, they already had different expressions, the Taihe Hall was not an ordinary place, it was a place where major ceremonial activities were held. Since the old emperor is going to hold a great dynasty there, the news that the old emperor is going to abdicate is undoubted.
Jia Ke still stood at the front of the line as usual, leading the officials into the Taihe Hall one after another.
After the officials entered the Taihe Palace, they stood according to their ranks.
At this time, the emperor has not yet come, and all the ministers can chat in a low voice.
At this time, Lei Ying, who was standing beside Jia Ke, whispered to Jia Ke: "Lord Jia, why are you so persistent, after all, the emperor is old, and the third prince is in his youth, I think you should change your course." ”
Jia Ke glanced at him with slanted eyes, and said in a low voice, "Like you, the seller seeks glory." I can't do it yet. ”
This Lei Ying said that he should also be the old emperor's person, I don't know what's going on, he actually threw himself under the command of the third prince, and now it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a traitor seeking glory.
Lei Ying listened to Jia Ke's words, and a look of shame appeared on her face, but in the end, she gradually faded, sighed and stopped talking. In fact, in his heart, he thought that he had not betrayed, he was loyal to the entire court, not that one emperor, and now it was most beneficial for the entire court for the third prince to ascend the throne, as long as he had a clear conscience, he didn't care what others said.
The ministers didn't wait for long, and the old emperor entered the palace with the support of Dai Quan, although the old emperor looked no different from before, but everyone who was interested found that the old emperor's pace was much slower than before.
The old emperor slowly walked to the imperial steps, and finally sat on the throne of the Taihe Palace, and then all the ministers knelt down together, shouted long live the mountain, and bowed three times and bowed nine times.
After the ministers finished saluting, as usual, Dai Quan took a few steps forward and shouted below: "Ministers, there is a morning play, and there is no retreat." ”
Everyone knows what the big play is today? So no one came out at this time to spoil the scenery.
The old emperor, who was sitting on the throne, saw that everyone had nothing to say. Only then did he say slowly: "Since January, I have been unwell, and I am old, so it's time to hand over this burden on my body. ”
The ministers were not surprised to hear the emperor say this, but knelt down together in a very tacit understanding, and said to the emperor together: "Your Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, please think twice." ”
The old emperor sat on the throne, watched the performances of the ministers below, smiled sarcastically on his face, and continued: "I know that for the sake of my ancestors, I have to reluctantly abdicate as the emperor, and choose a virtuous one among the princes to pass on the throne. ”
When the emperor said this, all the ministers knelt down together again, and shouted again in tacit understanding: "Please take back your majesty's order, and the ministers dare not obey the edict." ”
The old emperor looked at them from above, thinking to himself that this was the second time, and the third time they should elect a new emperor.
"You don't have to say much, I've made up my mind." The emperor could only helplessly cooperate with them to continue acting.
So the ministers knelt down for the third time, and this time unlike before, and the ministers replied together: "The ministers obey Your Majesty's will. ”
The old emperor sat on the throne and watched this scene and felt funny, this scene had not been rehearsed, how could they be neat and consistent, word for word.
"Who do you think this world should be handed over?" The old emperor continued to play his part.
As soon as the old emperor finished asking, Pan Yong, the minister of military aircraft and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't wait to come out and play: "The minister recommended the three princes, and the three princes are all virtuous and talented. It is the best candidate to inherit the throne. ”
Immediately afterwards, the other three military ministers Lei Ying, Tian Ye, and Liu Yu all stood up and agreed to the succession of the three princes.
As soon as these people stood up, the members of their faction knelt down on the main hall together and shouted in unison, "Second." ”
At this time, there were few people in the hall except Jia Ke and Wang Ziteng. Everyone else knelt in the middle of the hall.
Jia Ke felt a chill when he saw this situation, this third prince is really powerful. is worthy of being the last person to achieve victory in the Dream of Red Mansions. His scheming methods are so powerful, he asked himself if he didn't have a golden finger, he wouldn't be worthy of lifting shoes for this third prince. This is the crushing of IQ, it can be seen that the ancients are not inferior to modern people, but their vision is not as broad as that of modern people.
The old emperor sat on the throne and looked at the people below who were kneeling in the center of the main hall, and his eyes couldn't help but have a cold light. But he finally held back, and since the matter had been decided, there was no time to regret it. Besides, he doesn't have to regret it, from now on, he can get out of the busy government affairs to recuperate, but the heir emperor can't get out of his control. But if the emperor has trouble, he can mobilize the forces of Jia Ke and Wang Ziteng and wipe them out.
The emperor calmed his anger and said to Tian Ye, the minister of military aircraft, "Tian Ye, you used to be a Hanlin and have a good literary style, so this time it is up to you to draw up the decree." ”
Tian Ye came out of class and knelt on the ground, and then two little eunuchs carried a low table in front of him, and a blank holy decree and the four treasures of the study room were already placed on the low table.
Tian Ye picked up the pen, smeared the inkstone with ink, and then waited for the emperor's words.
"I have been on the throne for 40 years and 6 years, the sea and rivers are clear, and the world is peaceful. The people are safe, and all the countries are served. The officials are clear and clear, and the monarchs and ministers are kind and harmonious. Virtue can be compared with the first saints, and the merit is more looking forward to future generations. The third son of the emperor, with a valuable character, is very bowing, strong and unwilling, and the great confusion cannot move his heart. I want to pass on the third son of the emperor, and all the princes and ministers should work together to wear the new king. Heavy ministers should be carefully assisted and supported by the community. The emperor seemed to have rehearsed it a long time ago, and finished these words in one breath.
Then asked Tian Ye below, "Are you done writing?" ”
Tian Ye had already stopped writing when the emperor finished reading, and he really deserved to be from Hanlin.
Tian Ye even held it high above his head, and at this time, the little eunuch stepped forward and took the holy decree and sent it to the emperor.
The emperor read this holy decree from beginning to end, and then ordered someone to use the seal, and Dai Quan next to him asked softly: "Which side does Your Majesty use?" ”
"Use the treasure of the Son of Heaven." The emperor did not hesitate.
Dai Quan hurriedly ordered someone to take out this treasure seal, only to see that this treasure seal was two inches and four minutes square, eight points thick, and one inch and seven minutes high. Dai Quan carefully handed over the treasure seal to the emperor.
The emperor held this treasure seal, and he couldn't cover it for a long time in his hand, as long as this treasure seal was covered, then the big thing was decided.
The ministers also knelt at the bottom, looking at the emperor with blank eyes, and finally the emperor gritted his teeth and covered the treasure seal.
Perhaps because of the excessive force, as soon as the emperor finished covering the treasure seal, he began to cough violently, and even sat a little unsteadily.
Dai Quan next to him hurried over and asked softly, "Long live Lord, it doesn't matter." ”
The emperor pushed him away, he didn't want the ministers to see him like this. After that, he said to Pan Yong: "Haven't you always recommended the Third Prince? I will give you this credit, and you can take the holy decree to the Three Princes' Mansion to deliver the decree. ”
