"Holy Father" Jia She of the Red Chamber

Situ Xi has been the emperor for 41 years, and he was considered a wise king when he was young, but as he got older, he became more and more confused and greedy for power. Now, he even began to be greedy for the way of longevity that the emperors of all dynasties have been pursuing.

After Jia She explained his conjecture to Situ Zhen back and forth, Situ Xi's position in Situ Zhen's heart has changed from father being old and a bit confused, to father being about to become a fool. .

Being a fatuous emperor, if Situ Zhen is still Prince Yong who has nothing to do with himself, at least on the surface, it is good for him to be stupid. It is said that a prince with a good name will be a thorn in the flesh.

Situ Zhen didn't want to follow in Situ Reng's footsteps at all.

"Things have developed like this, what do you think should be done?" At this time, Situ Zhen still believed in Jia She's ability. Since Jia She was able to tell the whole story to himself, he naturally had some thoughts on this matter. Situ Zhen is already considered a capable person in his heart, and he can often see the other side that others can't see, which is obviously not a good thing, but it can also allow him to use his strength to benefit himself.

Therefore, Situ Zhen wanted to hear what Jia She had to say.

"It depends on whether His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to part with the position of the Crown Prince." Jia Amnesty smiled as usual, but these words were not so pleasant.

Situ Zhen frowned slightly. Now that he is asked to give up his hard-won position, he is indeed not that open-minded: "Tell me."

"Once the emperor's obsession with refining medicine is found out, then the old stubborn people in the court will naturally persuade one by one, and the leader of the advice, even if His Royal Highness is not willing, can only be you. At that time , the emperor dreams of immortality, who can organize it, even if those old and stubborn people die in the court, the emperor's anger will also be directed at the crown prince, when that time comes," Jia She said with a slight smile , the laughter was ironic: "Your Highness, after the failure of the paddock rebellion, the other princes are still there, and even the culprit, Situ Reng, is just locked in prison now. have sons."

Situ Zhen's body froze, and he immediately understood that his current situation was not very good. If he was not careful, he might end up like Situ Reng. He stared at Jia She, looked at the sure smile on Jia She's face, and sighed : "Okay, what do you think Gu should do."

"Admonition."

"Admonition?" Didn't you say that persuasion would be harmful?Situ Zhen was somewhat confused as to why he wanted it now.

"When the matter of refining medicine broke out, the emperor tried to persuade him, but the emperor only became angry and furious. Didn't the emperor know that refining medicine is not good? But the temptation of longevity is something that the emperor can resist? That's why the emperor let this matter now. The matter is going on in secret, even His Royal Highness, if not for the minister knowing some of the cause and effect, His Royal Highness may not be aware of it."

Situ Zhen nodded, that's true. Although the emperor let himself handle a lot of government affairs on his behalf during this period, he didn't completely delegate power, and he still went to the morning court every day. It seemed that he deliberately trained himself.

"So, instead of admonishing after the incident broke out, it is better to advise now. Although the emperor is angry, he will not get angry. Maybe he can save the position of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"You mean..." Situ Zhen squinted his eyes, waiting for Jia She's next move.

"There are two women inexplicably living in the side hall of the Qianyuan Hall, one is the daughter of a merchant, who is not yet under the draft standard, and the other is even more outrageous, she is directly the daughter of a criminal minister. These two women live in the side hall of the emperor. Naturally, there will be a lot of bad words, the prince has a heart for the emperor, and a filial piety can be learned from the sun and the moon, so naturally he does not want the emperor's wisdom to be damaged."

Situ Zhen looked at Jia She steadfastly, and after listening to his words, he thought a lot in his heart. In the end, the prince, who was always known for his cold face, stood up and patted Jia She on the shoulder: "You must be such a husband." What more can I ask for?"

"The prince's second praise."

"Hui'er has been talking about you to Gu all the time, and you just came today, so let's accompany Gu to see him."

Thinking of that smart child, the smile on Jia Lian's face became more sincere.

This scene happened to be seen by Situ Zhen, and Situ Zhen couldn't help nodding in his heart. Although he was warm-hearted and cold-hearted, and scheming, he also had a kind side and a weakness, so that's good.

It was true that Situ Hui hadn't seen Jia She for some days, and Situ Zhen became even busier after he became the prince, which made the family relationship that father and son cultivated with great difficulty dissipated a lot.

So when thinking of the days in the book of rites, Situ Hui couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic. He mentioned it so many times, but Situ Zhen remembered it in his heart.

When Situ Zhen took Jia She to see Situ Hui, Situ Hui's eyes lit up, and my father really cared about me.

Seeing Situ Hui's shining eyes, Jia Amnesty subconsciously turned his head to look at Situ Zhen, just in time to see Situ Zhen's softened facial expression.

Royal father and son!

"Father, Lord Jia." Situ Hui put down the things in his hands, and went forward to pay his respects.

When Situ Zhen saw what Situ Hui put down, he felt a little strange: "Hui'er, what are you doing?"

Situ Hui followed Situ Zhen's gaze, and brought back what he had put down with a smile: "This is beef tendon, Master Jia asked his son to make it."

Situ Zhen took it over and looked at it. This beef tendon is not a normal beef tendon. After all, plopping beef tendon will not have such good elasticity, and there are some other things mixed in: "What is this used for?" of?" This question was not addressed to Situ Hui, but to Jia Amnesty.

Jia She explained with a smile: "Beef tendon is elastic, but it will lose its elasticity after drying, so I soaked this beef tendon in a special medicinal soup, and then mixed it with silk and other things to knead it. "As he said, he took the tendon rope and put it on Situ Hui's body, and explained while demonstrating: "This can exercise the young master's body." If it is to exercise muscle strength, then there is another explanation, Jia She didn't want to be so troublesome.

Situ Zhen watched Situ Hui make a few moves with the tendon rope, and understood what Jia She meant. Situ Hui was weak, and this kind of thumping martial arts was not suitable for him. Now it is very good.

However, Situ Zhen immediately thought of another matter: "What if this tendon rope is put on a bow and arrow?"

Jia She smiled: "It's also good to put bows and arrows, but I feel that the development of bows and arrows is enough. His Royal Highness still needs to focus on the Emperor's Shenji Camp and Tiger Gun Camp."

"You mean the firecracker," Situ Zhen thought for a moment, "The power of the firecracker is indeed good, but it's too slow to change ammunition, and it's easy to misfire, which is not very good."

"Then it can be improved." Jia She smiled and continued: "I just got some books from some Westerners a few days ago, and the above things may be related to this."

Situ Zhen nodded: "Now, let's deal with the father's matter first."

In Situ Zhen's heart, the matter of Situ Xi is the most important thing that concerns him.

On the second day, in the morning, Situ Xi handed over most of the memorials to Situ Zhen as usual, and he planned to go to the side hall to have a look.

Seeing that Situ Xi was about to leave, Situ Zhen quickly knelt down: "Father."

Situ Xi was taken aback by Situ Zhen's sudden movement: "Prince, what are you doing?"

"Father, your son has done something wrong."

Situ Xi's eyes narrowed, and his eyes became indifferent: "The prince has done something wrong, you have to come to me in person to apologize."

"My son thinks he hasn't done anything wrong yet, but soon, his son will do something wrong."

When Situ Xi heard it, he was a little happy, especially when Situ Zhen still had a serious expression when he said this, which made it even more interesting, and Situ Xi's eyes softened a bit: "Then what are you going to do wrong?" ah?"

Situ Zhen lowered his head a little: "Since ancient times, sons never speak of their father's faults, and ministers don't care about their ruler's faults. This is related to the fact that the son is about to do something wrong."

Situ Xi's expression turned cold again: "Then the prince wants to say that I did something wrong?"

"No," Situ Zhen's tone sounded hesitant, as if he had made a lot of determination: "There are two girls living in the imperial father's side hall, one is the daughter of a merchant, and the other is an empress of a criminal minister. Father really likes it, so he can send these two girls out of the palace first, then arrange a good status, and wait for the next year's general election before being elected into the palace."

Situ Xi breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the fourth child still has his own heart in his heart. He only made this move because he was afraid of ruining his reputation. Instead of realizing something, Situ Xi's tone softened: "This is my freedom. Don't worry about it, prince."

"But father..."

"Prince, you are my appointed prince, as long as you do what I have told you to do well, don't worry about anything else." Situ Xi took a deep look at Situ Zhen, then walked to the side hall.

Situ Zhen didn't raise his face until Situ Xi left, and then calmly sat back on the chair to deal with the matter Situ Xi explained.

From that day on, the news that two women of different identities were hiding in the emperor's side hall spread throughout the court and harem.

Not to mention that the women in the harem gritted their teeth one by one, trying to get the emperor's attention back, or go to see these two vixens, but none of them succeeded, and they were all beaten. Dai Quan and Eunuch Dai who were beside the emperor blocked it, saying it was the emperor's will.

So, the emperor is openly protecting those two little sluts.

The empresses in the harem were even more upset, and many people had already begun to secretly think of countermeasures.

In the previous dynasty, after hearing the news, the censors were as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Every day, the memorials were all saying that the woman's identity was at odds, and the emperor's first life's honor should not be ruined by such things. What's more, he directly said something about the demon girl harming the country.

Angrily, Situ Xi dropped the memorial directly.

Situ Zhen didn't dare to breathe out and knelt on the ground.

When Situ Xi saw it, he became even angrier. He pointed at Situ Zhen and scolded, "Tell me, did you release the news? Otherwise, after you said this, those censors all stared at me and said , Did you do it?"

Situ Zhen kowtowed "bang bang bang": "Father is wise, I dare not, when the two girls entered the palace, there was no one to cover them up, many people saw it, and I didn't know about it until later. "

I'm sorry you don't dare.

In fact, Situ Xi knew it well. At that time, he thought he still had doubts in his heart, so when Xue Baochai and the others were allowed to enter the palace, he did not take any measures. Many people saw it. Situ Zhen could not be blamed for this, but now because of this incident Things, the front court and the harem are all arguing with me, and my heart is not going well.

Isn't Situ Zhen the prince he made himself?Then let yourself spread the fire, it should be.

Situ Xi snorted coldly: "I will investigate this matter carefully. Before the investigation is clear, the prince should go back to the prince's mansion to rest."

This is about taking away Situ Zhen's power.

After hearing the decree, Situ Zhen sneered in his heart, but on the surface he was very respectful, and even a little worried: "My son obeys the decree, please, please, father, please think twice."

That expression can be as worried as it is, and seeing Situ Xi sigh in his heart again, he is really his good son.

His Highness the Crown Prince was driven back to the Crown Prince's Mansion by the Emperor. This matter was a major event, and it immediately overwhelmed the fact that there were two witches in the Emperor's side hall. The imperial historians also focused their attention on Situ Zhen.

Situ Xi saw that this matter was over this time, and while he was relieved, he had already decided that when he lived forever, he would definitely treat his filial son well.
