Jia Jing came back..,
He directly took Jia Zhen to Xi Province,
In Jia Daishan's study..,
She told him the whole story from beginning to end.
"Second Uncle,
Look..,
Why did the Duke Zhen's Heir do this..,
He broke into our Ningguo Province's backyard and wanted to take Zheng'er away, completely disregarding his own reputation. I always feel that there's something fishy about it,
You're experienced and knowledgeable. Do you think there's no other problem behind this matter? "After Jia Jing received the letter, he was a little worried,
But..,
The Emperor had given him the task,
He had to finish it before he could return. As soon as he returned, he would report to the Emperor and come to Xi Province.
"The Stabilization Constabulary has sided with the Crown Prince,
A few days ago..,
The Crown Prince was scolded by the Emperor again,
He was holed up in the Crown Prince's Mansion. Now..,
There was basically no movement..,
If it was really him behind the scenes..,
What was he after? The Emperor already felt that he had really wronged the Crown Prince in this matter and showed the attitude of compensating the Crown Prince during the New Year. "Jia Daishan could not understand. At this juncture, there was no need for the Crown Prince to let the Duke Zhen's Heir do anything irrational. Wasn't the Crown Prince afraid that because of this matter, the Emperor would take back his attitude of compensating the Crown Prince?
"Then Second Uncle means that the Crown Prince did not do it on purpose, and the Duke Zhen's Heir sincerely invited Zheng'er to the gathering?" Jia Jing felt that this explanation did not make sense. Even if it was to rope in their family, this time, he had acted too hastily.
Jia Zhen was at the side, watching his father and second grandfather discuss. Listening to the content of their discussion, he felt that his head was hurting. "Master, let's not care so much. Our family is not to be trifled with. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Our Jia family is not afraid of the Niu family."
Jia Daishan came back to his senses and looked at Jia Zhen with a smile, saying, "I heard that you've been learning martial arts recently. Looking at your body, it's indeed much stronger. It seems that it's effective. Although you won't lead troops to fight in the future, I heard that you and Zheng'er will go to Jinling for the imperial examination next year. The imperial examination also requires a good body, just like your father. At that time, the imperial examination, he was carried back. Fortunately, he passed the imperial examination, otherwise, he would have suffered."
"Hehe, right, I'm learning martial arts very hard." Jia was proud.
"It's good that you have this perseverance. I'm afraid that you won't be able to persevere." Jia Jing glared at Jia Zhen. In the past, he was like a monkey, restless for even a moment. Now that he had married Dong Ge's daughter, he had become steady and steady. That was not bad.
Jia Zhen secretly rolled his eyes, and then looked at Jia Daishan with shining eyes. "Second grandfather, next year's spring hunt, aren't you going to lead the imperial army to protect the Emperor? At that time, can you take me with you? I've been learning martial arts for so long, and I also want to have a try. Maybe I can hit a big cat and a big bear. At that time, I can make a big cloak for my wife."
"You are filial. At that time, I'll take you with me." Jia Daishan smiled.
"You can hit a big cat and a big bear? Do you know how fierce big cats and bears are in spring? They have been hungry for a whole winter, so it's the most vicious time. At that time, don't fill their stomachs. Don't make trouble." Jia Jing reprimanded.
When Jia Zhen heard his father's evaluation of him, he muttered in his heart, What a father, talking about his son like that.
Jia Daishan looked at Jia Jing and his son with a smile on his face. Then, he seemed to have thought of something, and the smile on his face faded. Spring hunt? Spring hunt? How could he not have thought of it? No wonder the heir of the Stabilization Constabulary was so anxious. This time, not only did he invite Zheng'er, but he also invited She'er. It was obvious that he wanted to do something to the heirs of the two families, so that they would not take action. During the spring hunt, they had to help the Crown Prince, and their goal was the military power in his hands.
Jia Jing noticed the change in Jia Daishan's expression and quickly asked, "What's wrong, Second Uncle? Did you think of something?"
"Spring hunt? I think something will happen during the spring hunt!" Jia Daishan said in a panic.
"Are you saying that the Crown Prince wants to make a move during the spring hunt? Is the Crown Prince crazy?" Jia Jing said angrily.
"How could he be crazy? The Crown Prince has been the Crown Prince for so many years, and the princes under him have all grown up. As for the Emperor … he has endured the thoughts of a ruler for so long, so it's normal that he can't take it anymore. During the spring hunt, we will be stationed at the temporary imperial residence. The temporary imperial residence is not comparable to the imperial palace, and it is heavily guarded. If he wants to recruit me, his chances of success are too high." Jia Daishan was still able to maintain his composure at this moment. "Zheng'er, don't leave the residence these days. No matter who invites you, don't leave the residence," Jia Daishan instructed.
Jia Zhen was shocked by the news he had heard early in the morning and quickly nodded. His life was still precious, so he wouldn't leave the residence. Jia Zhen nodded repeatedly and promised that he would definitely be obedient. "Don't be careless.
You can only leave the residence after the spring hunt. I believe that the Crown Prince will definitely find another opportunity if he doesn't succeed this time. He might not make a move now, after all, he just made a move. If he does it too frequently, we will definitely notice. When we let our guard down, he will definitely have a backup plan. Don't be careless, "Jia Daishan warned.
"Second Grandfather, don't worry. I have to accompany Madam during this period of time. I can't go anywhere," Jia Zhen said.
"En." Jia Daishan nodded. Next was She 'er. It just so happened that She's daughter-in-law was already pregnant. These days, he would let She's daughter-in-law nurture the fetus in her own courtyard. If there was nothing, she shouldn't go out. If Zhen' er could accompany Jing 'er's daughter-in-law, then She' er must also accompany his daughter-in-law.
"Second Uncle, should we tell His Majesty about this matter?" Jia Jing asked.
Jia Daishan closed his eyes and thought carefully. After a while, he opened his eyes and shook his head. "No, it's not appropriate. "No, we can't tell His Majesty about this. We don't have any evidence. If it weren't for the fact that the crown prince of the Stabilisation Constabulary is too immature and too impatient, I wouldn't have noticed that the crown prince would have such thoughts. After all, the crown prince has always been filial in front of His Majesty. If I tell His Majesty that the crown prince might take advantage of the spring hunt to plot a rebellion, His Majesty will definitely investigate. If he finds something, it'll be fine, but if he doesn't, it'll be terrible. His Majesty will definitely think that I've already participated in the fight for the throne and helped the other princes get rid of the crown prince."
In the end, Jia Daishan had grown up with the Emperor. Later on, they worked together under the platform. He believed that he understood the Emperor. The Emperor was getting older and older, just like a healthy lion. It was inevitable that he would age. However, the young lions in the pride were constantly growing and becoming stronger. They were constantly threatening the position of the old lion. How could the old lion tolerate this?
"Second Uncle, what do you plan to do?" Jia Jing was very worried.
Jia Daishan narrowed his eyes. "Let's wait and see. Try not to alert the Crown Prince. However, we have to investigate the Imperial Army carefully." For such a big matter, the Crown Prince would definitely make preparations. If he couldn't win Jia Daishan over, he would definitely have a backup plan. If Jia Daishan wanted to get the throne, the Imperial Army was the Emperor's last line of defense. Even if he successfully solved all the previous problems, the Imperial Army was the last problem he could not escape from.
"Yes, during this period, I will restrain my clansmen." Jia Jing sighed. When would such a turbulence end?
Jia Jing and Jia Zhen returned from Xi Province. Jia Zhen went directly to the Sakura Temple.
"You're back. What's the situation?" Xia Lu, who was looking at the account book, saw Jia Zhen and quickly asked.
"Second Grandpa asked me not to go out during this period …" Jia Zhen poured himself a cup of tea on the table, sat opposite Xia Lu, and told the contents of Jia Daishan's analysis to Xia Lu. "Anyway, I won't go out during this period," Jia Zhen finally concluded.
Xia Lu smiled. However, after Jia Daishan's death, Rongguo Province and Ningguo Province were deteriorating day by day. Originally, Jia Xie was supposed to inherit the title of Marquis. In the end, he only inherited the title of First Class General. He was not even a Count. After that, Jia Jing also became a monk and handed over all the affairs in the Mansion to Jia Zhen. With the position of Rongguo and Ningguo Prefectures in the Emperor's heart, it should not be like this. It was conceivable that something must have happened this time to make the Emperor hate the two prefectures.
"If you don't go out, if someone like that Crown Prince of the Stabilisation Constabulary comes to invite you, how will you decline?" Xia Lu smiled and asked.
"I'll just say that I have to take care of Madam. Madam is old and pregnant now. She's not stable and needs me to accompany her." Jia Zhen was proud and told him the excuse he had thought of earlier.
"Wait, you're talking about Madam. I remember that Madam's family, the He Family, supports the Crown Prince, right?" Xia Lu suddenly thought of something. What role did the He Family play in this?
"Yes, I almost forgot. I have a cousin who is a concubine in the Crown Prince's palace." Jia Zhen shuddered and said, "Wait for a moment. I'll go find Master." Jia Zhen put down his teacup and hurried out.
Xia Lu heaved a sigh of relief. She believed that Jia Zhen would be very wary of outsiders. However, he had always trusted his own family. If the He Family asked him to go, he would probably go to the He Family without hesitation. After all, the He Family was his maternal family. He would definitely not think that the He Family would harm him. In Xi Province, Master Zhang was the Crown Prince's tutor. He was a natural supporter of the Crown Prince.
Jia Zhen finally found Jia Jing in Ninggyeongdang. After all, he had been away for so long and encountered such a big incident. He was still worried about his wife.
"What's wrong? Why are you panting? Why are you so unsteady?" Jia Jing was dissatisfied.
"No, no, Master. I just thought of something. My maternal family also supports the Crown Prince. If my maternal family asks me to go to their house, how can I refuse?" Jia Zhen asked.
Jia Jing paused and realized that his wife's maternal family and sister-in-law's maternal family were both supporters of the Crown Prince. Their family and the Crown Prince had an inseparable relationship. Even if their family was not involved, they were still supporters of the Crown Prince. However, would the Emperor believe it? Jia Jing shuddered.
"You go back first. Your maternal family's people are here. I'll send them away. Don't tell anyone about this," Jia Jing said.
