The former crown prince failed to seize the throne and committed suicide.

The Emperor Taishang was furious and issued a massacre order, slaughtering the former prince's family and subordinates.

Only this little grandson, who survived by luck and was imprisoned.

Later, when the emperor was old, he had a trace of remorse for the events of the year, and felt that he should not have pushed the prince too much, which led to the tragedy between father and son.

Maybe it's compensation, so I released this little grandson, loved him in every way, and named him the king of Yizhong County.

King Yizhong came to the Emperor Taishang and sat down, and said with a smile on his face: "Grandpa Huang, you look good today, is there any happy event?" Speaking out also made the grandson happy for the emperor's grandfather. ”

The Emperor laughed and said: "It's still your kid's eyesight, today is indeed a happy event, Mongolian Khalkha was defeated by the barbarian slave, and the old slave was also killed by our soldiers, which can be described as a double happiness." ”

King Yizhong was slightly stunned when he heard this, why didn't he have any news about this matter?

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson has never heard of this matter, this is really a double happiness for my Da Chu, I don't know which general has made such a great contribution? Grandpa Huang has to reward him well. ”

Emperor Taishang smiled and said: "The general who killed the old slave, that is Jia Cong of Ningguo Mansion, you should have heard of it, right?" ”

King Yizhong said: "How can you not hear it? Jia Cong is now a celebrity in Shenjing City, and he made soap and tribute wine, but I heard that this kid is not very old, he is only twelve years old this year, how can he kill the old slave, will he be mistaken? ”

Emperor Taishang shook his head and said: "Can't be wrong, this kid is not a master of peace, he went to Mongolia with the caravan in the first half of the year, intercepted and killed the mission sent by the barbarians to Khalkha, causing a big war between the two tribes."

Then he entered the Guangning army, a few days ago he just killed the big Bel Daishan, this is not just today, the Khalkha was defeated, Jia Cong raided and killed the old slave and his elite army Bayala. ”

King Yizhong really didn't expect that Jia Cong would be so powerful, if it wasn't for the mouth of the Emperor Taishang, he really didn't believe it.

Originally, I only thought that Jia Cong would have some skills to make money, but I didn't expect that he was still a capable general, and I couldn't help but have a little more thought in my heart.

"Grandpa Huang, if I hadn't listened to you, I really couldn't believe it, this Jia Cong is really a powerful person."

What the Emperor didn't know was that because of his favor and frequent interference in court politics over the years, this little grandson had an illusion in his heart.

That is, the Emperor Taishang is not satisfied with the current emperor, and has the idea of re-establishing a new monarch, and he is the next new monarch that the Emperor Taishang fancies.

Above the court, there are not a few people who have this kind of thought, and even some of the former prince's subordinates have gathered around him again.

Because of the love of the emperor, his status in the court is somewhat special.

Although Emperor Longqing was a little awkward, because the Emperor Taishang was still there, he still held most of the military power, so he could only endure it silently.

King Yizhong showed the appearance of a virtuous prince, and people couldn't say anything.

······

Emperor Longqing returned to the imperial study, and several ministers of the cabinet also arrived.

From Li Guanglu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, he also knew the truth of the matter, and they were all embarrassed.

Look at other people's sons, who can make money and have the ability, and then look at their own sons, I can't help but shake my head.

Seeing Emperor Longqing coming in, he hurriedly saluted: "The ministers and others knock to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Emperor Longqing waved his hand and said: "Everyone Aiqing is flat, I believe that everyone knows the content of the good news, now that the Khalkha has been defeated and is divided, it no longer exists."

The barbarian old slave and his elite troops, Bayala, were not ambushed by Jia Cong and others, although the barbarian victory, the loss was immeasurable, but this matter was not long hidden.

Once they know that their Great Khan was killed by our people, it is estimated that they will not give up, Li Aiqing, inform the Liaodong border army to strengthen their defenses and beware of a sudden attack by the barbarians. ”

Li Guanglu arched his hand and said: "Minister, obey the order, and when you turn around, you will send a six-hundred-mile expedited to inform the Liaodong border army to take precautions in advance, so that the barbarians will not have a chance to take advantage of it, Your Majesty, how should the matter of Xugong be handled?" ”

Second assistant Yang Huai stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, killing the old slave and eliminating the five thousand Bayala is indeed a great achievement, and it is a great benefit to my Great Chu, but it has also attracted the hatred of the barbarians for this, and added a great enemy to my Great Chu. ”

The others looked at each other, their eyes flickering, and they stopped talking.

Since ancient times, the civil and military have been opposed, and these civilian officials are unwilling to see people in the military who have made great contributions, and when it is time to suppress them, they must take action to suppress them.

This time the credit was really too great, killing the barbarian Khan and destroying the strongest army of the barbarians.

This is tantamount to breaking the backbone of the barbarians, and making the threat of the barbarians lower several notches at once.

Barbarians with old slaves and barbarians without old slaves are completely different.

The old slave is the core of the barbarians, the spiritual leader of the barbarians, the co-master of the barbarians, and there is absolutely no such prestige as the old slave.

Without the barbarians of the old slaves, it is equivalent to the tiger breaking the spine bones, and there is no great threat.

In addition, the Mongolian Khalkha was destroyed, although it was done by the barbarians, it was also caused by Jia Cong, strictly speaking, it was his credit, to say that he had no credit at all, it really can't be said.

The credit of the past and back adds up, and it is enough to be crowned a county king.

Even the four kings and eight princes in the founding period of the country, no one has destroyed a country, let alone killed the Great Khan of the enemy country.

Although the credit is enough, if you really want to be crowned king, no one wants to see it.

These civil officials, these ministers, will not agree, even the emperor is not happy in his heart.

Li Guanglu, the secretary of the military department, opened his mouth, but finally chose to shut up, although he was in charge of the military department, he was also a civil minister, and he didn't want the status of a military general to be too high from his heart.

Emperor Longqing glanced at everyone, and immediately understood their thoughts, and he didn't care much about it, but it was exactly what he wanted, and he was happy to see it happen.

With these ministers bringing it up, they will naturally bear the responsibility for offending people, and it will have nothing to do with themselves.

"Hu Aiqing, what do you mean, tell me your opinion."

Shoufu Hu Yong arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Yang's words are actually quite reasonable, this time Jia Cong's credit is indeed a bit too big, does Your Majesty really want to crown him as the king with a different surname?"

Jia Cong's age is still too young, this is not a good thing for him, appropriately reduce the reward, this is also to protect him, you can't let him die at the age of twelve, otherwise, if he makes great contributions in the future, he will face the point of being unsealable. ”

Emperor Longqing nodded when he heard this, he also had concerns in this regard, although the Emperor Taishang did not say it explicitly, he also meant this.

Even if these people don't say it, it is impossible to be crowned king, and even the prince of the country will not give it, but only according to the will of the emperor, it will be a marquis.

As soon as these people said that they happened to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, they did as they pleased.

"Okay, according to the meaning of the first assistant and the adults, pass on the decree, seal Jia Cong as Ning Wuhou, give a purple robe and jade belt, and other meritorious generals, and the Ministry of War will reward them as appropriate."

Hearing this, everyone smiled on their faces and said respectfully: "Your Majesty Shengming, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

······

Ningguo Mansion, in Huifang Garden.

I saw chrysanthemums all over the ground, green willows cross slopes, small bridges such as the stream of the river, winding paths to the rooftop road, the clear stream in the stone is turbulent, the fence falls and floats fragrant, the branches and willow catkins flutter, and the comb forest is picturesque.

The chrysanthemums in the garden are all in full bloom, there are fiery red chrysanthemums, snow-white chrysanthemums, golden chrysanthemums, purple chrysanthemums, dark green chrysanthemums, and pink chrysanthemums.

Mother Jia led a group of female scrolls in Xifu, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Li Kun, Wang Xifeng, Lin Daiyu and Sanchun sisters, as well as Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai's mother and daughter.

Accompanied by You Shi, Qin Keqing, Ping'er, Mandarin Duck and others, walking on the path among the flowers, admiring the colorful chrysanthemums in the garden, full of laughter.

The news of Jia Cong's promotion to the first rank general made the entire Ning Guofu fall into jubilation.

Ping'er and Mandarin Ducks, attacking people, are even more happy in their hearts, their men are so capable, who is not happy?

Ping'er even gave Ning Guofu an extra month's monthly money as a reward, making everyone happy.

You Shi was even more envious when he saw it, a little maid, in charge of the entire Ning Guo Mansion, with more power than herself, just because she found a good man.

Thinking of his man Jia Zhen, after taking the title, he only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and he didn't want to be motivated, and he even thought about his daughter-in-law, so he ended up like this.

Look at the other brother Cong, not only did he take the title, but there were many beauties around him, but he could resist the temptation, and in the face of the little goblin of Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, he was also not tempted.

He went to the battlefield at a young age, made great contributions, and promoted the title to a first-class general, which is the same as the status of the great lord of Xifu, and the future is really promising.

Ping'er, the lives of these people are really good, and they have found such a capable and promising man.

Several people got together to discuss, although Jia Cong couldn't celebrate when he wasn't at home, but his own people also had to celebrate.

It happened that the chrysanthemums in Huifangyuan were blooming, so I invited Jia's mother to come over to enjoy the chrysanthemums, and by the way, everyone also celebrated together, which led to today's trip.

Jia Mu looked at the scenery in the garden and exclaimed, "The scenery in this courtyard is really good,"

You Shi smiled: "If the old lady thinks it is good, she will come over often to visit in the future, and it is better to relax, it is much better than just staying in the house, and let us do our filial piety." ”

Jia Mu smiled and said: "I'm old, my legs and feet are not good, it's okay to come back and forth once in a while, if you come often, even if you don't bother, I can't bear this body bone." ”

The mandarin duck smiled and said: "Look at what the old lady said, you are a bodhisattva, we are too late to please, how can you be annoyed, besides, your body is still very strong, and it is good for the body to be active more." ”

Lin Daiyu said on the side: "Old lady, what the mandarin duck said is right, more activity is good for the body, you look at me, my body was very weak before, but since I practiced martial arts, my body is much stronger than before." ”

said that he directly did a front flip, stood in front of Jia Mu, and bluffed Jia Mu.

Hurriedly grabbed her, and said with a reproachful face: "Oh, my little ancestor, you fall carefully, it's okay?" ”

Xichun smiled and said: "Old lady, Sister Lin is fine, you don't have to worry, she can turn more than a dozen heels in one breath, Sister Lin is so powerful now, the three of us can't beat her." ”

Jia Mu looked Daiyu up and down for a while, nodded and said: "Well, the body bones are very strong, Brother Cong'er's method is really good, but don't learn to jump up and down with him, a young lady, jumping around like a monkey, what does it look like." ”

Daiyu nodded and said: "Old lady, I don't usually dance, don't you accompany the old lady out to be happy, let you see the benefits of exercise, you can also exercise with me if you have nothing to do, and you will definitely live to be two hundred years old by then." ”

Mother Jia laughed when she heard this: "If you really want to live to be two hundred years old, then I won't become an old disguster, don't you all dislike me?" ”

Wang Xifeng quipped: "Hey, old ancestor, if you live to be two hundred years old, then you will become an immortal, which of us dares to disrespect you, if you are unhappy, a spell will come down, and you won't beat us to the bottom of the ball." ”

Wang Xifeng's words made everyone laugh, and the scene became even more lively for a while.

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "At that time, the old lady will be a veritable ancestor, and there will only be more and more great-grandsons and great-grandsons below." ”

Everyone talked and laughed all the way, watching the chrysanthemums on both sides all the way.

When you are tired, you can rest in the gazebo for a while, and there are maids who have already prepared tea and snacks.

When it was close to noon, out of Huifang Garden, everyone came to the nearby Tianxiang Building.

The meal had already been prepared, and after Jia Mu and the others took their seats, the little maids brought up the dishes one by one and set up a large table.

Qin Keqing personally filled Mother Jia with a glass of mare's milk wine, and said with a smile: "Old lady, this is the mare's milk wine that Uncle Cong sent back last time, saying that it is good for your body, you drink more." ”

Jia Mu saw a table full of dishes, many of which she liked to eat, and many of which she had never seen before, seemed to be attentive and very useful.

At her age, she can't eat much, and what she cares about is that the younger generations don't care about her.

He smiled and said: "This mare's milk wine sent by Brother Cong is indeed very good, you can all drink it." ”

Under Wang Xifeng's gags, there was laughter and laughter on the wine table.

At this time, Chen Sanmei led Jia Lian in.

Jia Lian came to Jia's mother and said excitedly: "Old lady, great joy, Brother Cong has made great contributions again, led the troops deep into the grassland, and beheaded the old slaves of the barbarian Khan, the emperor has issued an order to canonize Brother Cong as Ning Wuhou and give him a purple robe and jade belt." ”
