"Brother Huan'er, when will you go to the Zongren Mansion to test the seal?"

Jia Mu looked at Jia Huan and said warmly.

Jia Huan said with a smile: "Let's go tomorrow, today's Shangyuan Festival, the Zongren Mansion has not opened the box yet." ”

Jia Mu hesitated and said, "Brother Huan'er, now that the sect of the Zongren Mansion is Prince Zhongshun, will he be difficult for you?" ”

As Jia Mu said, she is not an ignorant old woman who is blind and deaf, and she just doesn't bother to pay attention to it.

But she's not really ignorant.

How did those two thrones come about?

It's not because the previous generation of Baoling Marquis didn't even want face, and he didn't care about his family's background to let his eldest son and youngest son practice martial arts together, and he also spent a bigger price to bribe Prince Zhongshun.

This made Shi Ding and Shi Nai, two obviously unqualified people, achieve the marquis.

However, this also made the two of them almost cut themselves off from the ranks of the Great Qin nobles, and everyone was ashamed......

The only one who can compare with or even surpass the two of them may be the king of Nan'an.

Shi Ding and Shi Nai are still martial artists, although their martial arts are not very good, far from the standard of the eight-rank martial arts, but at least there is a fig leaf for martial artists, isn't it?

But the king of Nan'an County is disgusting, not even a martial artist, but by bribing Prince Zhongshun with silver and "beauty", he became the county king.

But in the Xungui Sect, everyone only regarded him as a second-class auxiliary prince.

If it weren't for the fact that there was an old lady of Nan'an in his house, and he was in the town, this so-called king of Nan'an County might not even be able to enter the door of the ordinary noble's house.

This is also the reason why Jia Baoyu once said that among the four major county kings in the southeast, northwest and northwest, only the king of Beijing County has high merit, and his descendants are still kings.

Although the king of Beijing County also did not know how to practice martial arts, he did not use silver to communicate with men. Spoil the title obtained by the Prince of Loyalty.

He was able to ascend to the throne because his grandfather and father played a great role in the succession of the current emperor.

And in order to be able to stand on the throne today, his grandfather and father were hung up in the struggle for succession.

After ascending the throne today, in order to thank the Beijing Palace's great achievements, he made a special decree to allow Shui Rong to inherit the throne of the county king.

But maybe it was because he got off to a bad start that Prince Zhongshun gave the king of Nan'an and the Shi brothers the opportunity to go through the back door......

There is another reason why Jia Mu asked Jia Huan like this.

That is, in the process of Prince Zhongshun at the beginning and now in the process of seizing the heir, the tragedy is amazing.

The second generation of Rong Guogong used to be a strong figure between the two, so to speak, pulling Rong Guogong on the boat, you can basically determine who is the prince.

It's just that Rong Guogong has never expressed his stance against the pull of the two, and he has always refused.

This is secondary, the key is that at the last moment, when Prince Zhongshun, the beloved son of the Emperor Taishang, was almost about to say that the Emperor Taishang would appoint him as the crown prince, before the last expedition of the Duke of Rongguo, he said that "King Zhongshun's personality is extreme and jumpy, and he is not the appearance of a master."

Because of this sentence, Prince Zhongshun's almost arrived position as the crown prince of the East Palace flew away. Then, with the help of the previous generation of King Beijing, he became the prince of the country.

Therefore, at the root of it, the Jia family is almost the sworn enemy of Prince Zhongshun!

Jia's mother asked this, and she was worried about Jia Huan.

Jia Huan didn't have any worries, and said with a smile: "Ancestor, don't worry, if there is no will of the emperor, and the grandson goes to take the exam on his own, then I'm afraid there will be a big danger." However, the grandson inherited the first-class son, which was the grace of the emperor himself. The Emperor Taishang is in the nine-fold deep palace, he has rarely asked about things in these years, and he finally opened the golden mouth once, if anyone dares to mess around, it is in the face of the Emperor Taishang and his old man. In this world, there are people who dare to compete with the emperor, but those who dare to compete with the Emperor Taishang and the Holy Ancestor Emperor will end up miserable. ”

When Jia Mu heard this, a rare smile appeared on her face full of sorrow, and said, "It's rare that you think clearly, then I'll rest assured." ”

Jia Huan saw that Jia's mother's face was better, so he said with concern: "Ancestor, is the meal still sweet recently?" ”

Jia Mu's face was a little better, and she said, "Thanks to the good dishes you sent to others, I didn't have the heart to eat them, and I couldn't eat anything." Big fish and big meat, it's weird to look at. Fortunately, I can still eat a little bit of the verdant greens you sent to me. Even Baoyu and your sister Lin are a little sweeter. ”

Jia Huan glanced at Jia Baoyu, who was a little uncomfortable, and Lin Daiyu, who looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "The sweetness of the ancestor is good, my grandson also saw a magic recipe in an ancient book a few days ago, which can refine an extremely delicious broth." After a few inquiries, I found that the things in the recipe were only available by the sea. The grandson sent people to Jimo a few years ago, and he will come back soon. Wait for the things to come back, and after the grandson has successfully debugged, he will come to offer treasures to the ancestors. The old ancestor and the second brother and Sister Lin ate even more sweetly. ”

When Mother Jia heard this, she saw Jia Huan's eyes change again, and sighed: "It's hard for you to know filial piety so much at such a young age." It's just that you have great ambitions, and you are so tired of practicing martial arts in the search for the sun, so you don't have to worry about me, an old woman. I have your two uncles and your sister-in-law and sister-in-law to take care of here, what can I do? On weekdays, I joke with your brother Sister Lin and a few sisters, and the days are very relaxed.

As for the morning and dusk provinces, it is even less necessary. This kind of formal thing, you better ignore it. You are now a noble martial artist, could it be that you will lead the troops to the battlefield in the future, and you will come back every day to give me a morning and dusk province?

What's more, when your big brother Zhen was there before, I exempted him from the rules. Although the mansions on both sides are next to each other, you can walk back and forth, and you still have to go around most of the street, which is too troublesome. ”

Jia Huan said with a smile: "The ancestor is kind, what Uncle Niu said is good, it is a blessing for the grandson to have an ancestor like you!" ”

……

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Shenjing, which had been carnivaling for half a month, finally came to an end.

In the imperial city, the officials and officials at the gates of the various yamen came and went one after another, as if they were hurrying to deal with the official affairs accumulated in the past half a month.

In the northeast corner of the imperial city, there is a public house with Longshou Palace in the north and Chengtianmen in the west, which is a set of three-entry suites.

This is the place set up by the royal family to manage the succession of princes and princes, and to clean up the children of the nobles who have committed crimes.

The Great Qin Sect's Sect Clan's Mansion.

Responsible for reviewing and inspecting the succession of knighthoods, which is easy to understand.

Although the Ministry of Rites among the six ministries also has this responsibility, in fact, the unit that is really responsible is still the Zongren Mansion.

The reason is very simple, there are some noble scribes in the Ministry of Rites, either they are in the Ministry of Rites to raise hope, or they are in the Ministry of Rites to retire, they know the martial arts of a hammer.

As for the Zongren Mansion is also responsible for cleaning up the noble children who have made mistakes, it is better to understand.

Because except for the Zongren Mansion, no one dares to care about these children from first- and second-grade or even super-high-grade wealthy families.

The officials in the yamen may not have beaten the soldiers and generals around them......

But the Zongren Mansion is different, the Zongren Mansion, which is responsible for the inheritance of the title, is in charge of the foundation of these wealthy families......

Moreover, the official of the Zongren Mansion is usually a respected prince in the royal family.

For example, Prince Zhongshun.

Don't think that Prince Zhongshun is greedy for money and a good man. wind, so he got notoriety.

On the contrary, in the eyes of many ministers, especially among most civil officials, Prince Zhongshun's reputation was far better than that of the Holy Lords today.

What is greed for money, civil officials stand together, throw a hammer into it, stone one to death, and no one in ten is unjust.

Of course, if the hammer splashes and kills a military attaché, it is estimated that he will not be able to cry out for injustice......

So, compared to vigorously grasping corruption. In today's corrupt world, the loyal and obedient prince who is in harmony with the light and dust is more "popular with the people" than in today's mean and strict world.

As for the good male style......

, such an elegant, retro, and elegant thing with the style of Wei and Jin celebrities, it's too late to praise it, who would despise it vulgarly?

In addition, Prince Zhongshun has been extremely well-behaved in front of the Emperor Taishang since he was a child, is very good at talking to people, and treats ministers with the warmth of spring, and is very means, so he is recognized as a virtuous king by hundreds of officials in the Great Qin, and he is highly respected.

Many old ministers can't even figure it out until now, what did such a virtuous and virtuous king think of Rong Guogong at the beginning, and why did he tell the emperor that Prince Zhongshun's personality is extreme and frivolous?

Alas, Rong Guogong, who has been wise and wise all his life, also has a time to lose his eyes.

This is still a mild idea, many ministers who have been taken down by iron-fisted hands after ascending the throne today, and even the ministers who have been implicated in the nine clans, have already cursed in the hearts of Rong Guogong......

In short, this is the foundation of Prince Zhongshun's fourteen years after his ascension to the throne of the current saint, and he still does not give up and tries to turn the waves in vain.

He has the "heart of the people", he has the skills of the city government, and he also has the grace of the emperor.

Standing in front of the gate of the Zongren Mansion, Jia Huan ignored the gaze of passers-by, squinted at the words on the door plaque, and thought about the news he had heard from Niu Ben and the Han family brothers.

This loyal prince is really not simple.

Come to think of it, a person who can not give up when his opponent has ascended the throne as the emperor, and can still hold great power, if he is not extremely mature and resolute in mind and extremely sophisticated in his methods, how can he come to this point?

However, it is precisely because of this that Jia Huan is less and less worried about today's examination.

Prince Zhongshun's biggest talisman is naturally the favor of the emperor, and secondly, his reputation as a virtuous king.

A person who cherishes his reputation will not do things that are too obvious and criticized.

What's more, politically speaking, there are no eternal enemies, no permanent friends, only eternal interests.

Prince Zhongshun would not offend many generals of the Great Qin military for the sake of the examination of a mere viscount.

Back then, the Bowling Marquis Mansion was not waving the flag behind the Duke of Rongguo and was willing to be a pawn.

But so what?

Now, haven't the two marquis of the Baoling Marquis Mansion become the lackeys of Prince Zhongshun?

If he can take Rong Guogong's own grandson and Ning Guogong's heir for his own use, King Zhongshun is afraid that he will be able to wake up with a smile in the middle of the night.

Looking at the person who appeared at the door, the corners of Jia Huan's mouth gradually curved.
