The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

As the wife of a cabinet minister, Mrs. Xu has a first-rank imperial order. She knows that Ji's mansion is under the political turmoil in the capital, and that Ji's family is now in the limelight, with a very high position, just as the higher the pagoda is, the easier it is to attract lightning. While enjoying the benefits of a high position and weight, the Ji Mansion naturally has to bear the danger of being overthrown by lightning.

Before, she was still talking about light topics with Ji Heng, but when the servant passed the word, Xu became serious, and called the servant into the room to ask, "Yesterday was fine, did someone come to see the master in the morning?" ?”

Xu's sensitivity is very high, and he asked the question as soon as he asked.

The servant said, "It is true that someone came to look for the master, but left after a while. The slave saw that the master's expression was not very good."

Xu also became worried, and adjusted Ji Heng's collar again, and asked Ji Heng to go to the study in front.

When Ji Heng arrived, Mr. Ji had also changed into his official uniform, but he was pacing around the study anxiously with a very bad expression. After entering, Ji Heng asked, "Father, what happened."

Master Ji looked at him, frowned, sighed several times, and said, "Your third sister is confused. She is confused."

He sighed so annoyed twice, but he didn't say anything about the third sister who was desperate to enter the palace, and now she would implicate the family.

After all, when the third sister was conferred the title of virtuous concubine, the Ji family was also prosperous, and Mrs. Ji is not a person who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges.As for what the person who reported the letter said, with Mr. Ji's political sensitivity, he also knew that it meant that he wanted to impose a crime without excuse, that is to say, it was the emperor's intention to take action against Ji's government. mean.

It's just that Mr. Ji doesn't know why the emperor made such a strategy at this time.

Ji Heng had already turned something in his mind, thinking that the third sister must have made some mistake.

Speaking of which, Ji Heng hasn't seen the third sister for a long time, and Mrs. Xu is unwilling to enter the palace to see the third sister. What it looked like, Ji Fu didn't see it directly.

Master Ji then told what happened in Duanyang Palace last night.

Master Ji said humanely, "It is said that the Eldest Prince's health is already very poor. If it is really gone, your sister may be ruined, and our family will not be implicated. If the Eldest Prince can be kept, your sister may not be well. Yes, our family is already in the limelight, so it is okay to be dormant for a while because of this, I am old after all, and our family will still rely on you in the future..."

Having said that, he added another sentence, "And brother Ying."

Ji Heng didn't take Ying'er's jealousy this time. Ji Heng hasn't talked about marriage so far, and Master Ji didn't urge him. Mrs. Xu is already showing Ji Heng the daughter of a small family, and Master Ji doesn't have any dissatisfaction. It can be seen that Ji Heng My lord really doesn't expect Ji Heng to pass on the family line.

Master Ji sighed and sat down in the chair, and said to Ji Heng, "Ji Heng, you can sit too."

After Ji Heng became an official, Mr. Ji called him by his first name. Although it seemed too serious, it also meant to hand over the family responsibility to him.

Master Ji continued, "Your sister's work has already been done, and we have no other choice. We just hope that we can keep you and Brother Ying. There are no officials who will always be in high positions without ups and downs, but we can have a long-lasting scholarly family. .”

Mr. Ji said this helplessly, but he didn't feel depressed. He has been working as a secondary assistant for the past few years, and he has exhausted his energy. In addition, he is indeed a bit old, and his energy is not as good as before. It is understandable that he has lost his drive and aggressiveness.

Ji Heng had never said a word before, but now he said, "Son, I'm going to ask the emperor, I don't know if it will be useful."

Master Ji said, "That's the only way to go. It's just that this matter has not been reported yet. Let's think about the countermeasures first. We still have to wait for the emperor to make trouble before going to the emperor to intercede. Otherwise, let the emperor know that our family is in the same palace. It’s not good to have information.”

Ji Heng naturally understood this truth, so he said, "Son, save it."

Mr. Ji and Ji Heng talked for a long time, and even felt a bit like explaining the funeral. At the end, he even sighed, "I haven't seen the trouble in the southern sea subside, so I'm not willing to retreat like this. I can only count on you .”

Ji Heng nodded and said, "Son, save it."

Lord Ji and Ji Heng were unable to go to duty that day, because the Imperial Army led people to surround Ji's mansion, and ordered Lord Ji to be imprisoned for the murder of the eldest prince by concubine Ji Xian, while Ji Heng was brought into the palace.

The matter spread quickly, and it took almost only one day for everyone to know about it in the rich and powerful families in the capital.

Anyone with political sensitivities knows this is just the beginning.

And some people with brains can't understand Concubine Ji Xian's original intention of murdering the eldest prince. The eldest prince has been raised by Concubine Ji Xian, so Concubine Ji Xian is the adoptive mother. Why would she have any reason to murder the eldest prince? Even if she wants to frame Concubine Xu, It's always a bit far-fetched, unless the First Prince's health is not that bad, drinking some longan soup won't kill him.Or the Xu family used this to frame Concubine Ji Xian and wanted to return the custody of the eldest prince to Xu Gui. Trust Concubine Xu and Lady Xu.

The longan soup case brought the relationship between Xu Ji's family to a dead end and could not be restored.

And what Jingli got from the longan soup case is knowing not to drink longan soup for children in summer.

Others, just wait and see this big drama between the Ji family and the Xu family.

It is not uncommon for the eldest prince to be murdered by Concubine Ji Xian, and it is not uncommon for his natal family to be involved, but the emperor grounded old Ji Ge and had people bring Ji Heng into the palace, but it is something that people have to think about.

Of course, the result of this disposition did not spread on this day. It was only after the matter received more attention and became something that people in the capital had to say after dinner.

Although there is a request not to care about state affairs, in the capital, even the general public will read the transcripts of the imperial palace newspaper, and almost every tea house and wine shop must provide each issue of the mansion newspaper, so it is obviously empty talk not to talk about state affairs That's all.

Concubine Ji Xian and Ji Heng were in the center of the vortex, but in fact, both of them were calm and collected.

Concubine Ji Xian was imprisoned in Duanyang Palace, even in the main hall of Duanyang Palace. She looked a little haggard, but she was not too flustered.

She wasn't wronged in this matter, but she didn't expect this to happen.

She did drink longan tea for the eldest prince, but it was on the morning of the day when the eldest prince was taken away by Concubine Xu. She knew that Concubine Xu would come to make trouble that day and take the eldest prince away.

Such a little longan tea, the eldest prince likes slightly sweet things, so drinking it is very happy and clean.

Concubine Ji Xian thought that he would just get a little angry and let Concubine Xu bear the charge of making the eldest prince's illness worse.

Unexpectedly, it is still not good for the eldest prince to be brought back, and the fever is getting worse. She does feed the eldest prince every night, but it is only Sydney tea. Doctor Weng said it is good for the eldest prince, and Ji Xian Concubine herself also knows that drinking pear tea in summer is very good.

She felt that she was framed, but she still couldn't tell who was framed.

She wanted to see the emperor, but the emperor didn't want to see her.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of being given food, Concubine Ji Xian asked, "His Royal Highness is feeling better."

Concubine Ji Xian felt that the matter would eventually come to light, so she was not too flustered.

The guard remained expressionless and did not answer, while the maid who delivered the meal just put down her things and left without daring to answer.

Concubine Ji Xian said to the guards, "The concubine wants to see the emperor, please send someone to report."

The guard just said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor will come naturally if he wants to see you, so don't let your lowly position make things difficult for you."

After speaking, he also went out and closed the door by the way.

Concubine Ji Xian felt that her case was very easy to handle, because the eldest prince was in better health, so give him longan tea and pear tea, he should be able to drink it as soon as he drinks it.

Thinking of this, Concubine Ji Xian was stunned for a moment again, the soup was prepared by the people below, if there were other things that were hot and tasteless in the pear tea...otherwise the First Prince would not be so angry.

Concubine Ji Xian knew that she was being careless, so she asked someone to show her off.

And a smart person like the emperor dealt with the matter so simply and casually, it can be seen that he was not really confused, but was too smart to use this matter to achieve some purpose.

What is the purpose of the emperor?

Concubine Ji Xian could only think about it.

She has been in the palace for so many years, not only has her thoughts become narrower and more ruthless, but she also understands that in the emperor's heart, the harem is in his heart, and the political significance and purpose are more important than others.

Although Concubine Ji Xian was calm and composed, she was not unaffected at all, so where she could eat, she looked at the window and called "Emperor" three times, then couldn't help but smiled sadly, and the corners of her eyes slid down uncontrollably teardrop.

When Ji Heng entered the palace, he was escorted into the palace, but he did not receive the treatment of a guilty minister. He was escorted into a carriage to the palace gate when he came out of Ji's mansion. Heavy, but then added more doubts.

Because the emperor's treatment of him did not mean to deal with Ji's family at all.

Ji Heng didn't understand what the emperor meant at all.

In the past few days, the emperor sent food to Jishi Pavilion every day, and sent imperial doctor Weng to see him, saying that he was afraid of heatstroke. Although Ji Heng didn't want the emperor to treat him like this, it was a gift and a burden to him, and even more so. It's gossip from other people's mouths.

But they suddenly suppressed their family by taking advantage of the matter of the third sister, and when he and Master Ji were discussing the matter of the third sister, they didn't figure out why the third sister did this, so the two only used After a little brainstorming, she knew the strangeness of this matter. The third sister should not be the one who would do such a thing.

It can be seen that this suppression was deliberately done by the emperor.

Why did the emperor do this? It's so strange.

No matter what, Ji Heng couldn't think of a reason, because it was unreasonable.

The emperor met Ji Heng in the side hall of Qinzheng Hall, which used to be the place where the emperor and Ji Heng studied.

At this time, the setting here is much better than when I was studying in the past, but the layout of the study room at school has not changed.

When Ji Heng walked in, he saw the emperor sitting in the same seat he used to sit in.

Ji Heng had to kneel when he entered, "The sinful minister Ji Heng sees the emperor, my emperor..."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor had already stood up and quickly walked over to hold him back. At the same time, he stared at Ji Heng's eyes. Ji Heng's eyes were dark, and he couldn't tell his thoughts. Involuntarily looking down at Ji Heng's stomach, Ji Heng's belly must have been nearly three months pregnant, but it still didn't show at all. Fortunately, the official uniform is not designed to tighten the waist in order to show the official's physique. Ji Heng's clothes also looked loose, and did not press down on his waist.

The emperor was a little relieved, and said, "There's no need to kneel, that's all."

Ji Heng insisted on kneeling, and said, "Criminal..."

The emperor pulled him and pushed him onto the chair, "Okay, don't talk to me about this."

The emperor's words carried undoubted momentum, Ji Heng couldn't refute anymore, he just raised his head to look at the emperor, frowned and said, "I don't understand, when the forbidden army surrounded my house, they said that Concubine Ji Xian committed a crime , as Concubine Ji Xian's younger brother, Weichen came to accept the crime, but I don't know why the emperor did this."

The emperor stood in front of Ji Heng, looking as tall and majestic as a mountain. He was silent for a while, but staring at Ji Heng's slightly fleshy cheeks, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, which just flashed across his face. , he put on a stern look again, and said, "Because Yingniang is your older sister, so when such a serious incident happened, I just imprisoned her in Duanyang Palace, and didn't even give the palace room She changed it, and your family is only grounded."

Ji Heng was stunned for a moment, suddenly there was a feeling that the emperor wanted to use this matter to show him favor, he said respectfully, "I don't know how the eldest prince is doing now?"

The emperor frowned, "If we find out the cause of his illness, things will be easier to deal with."

Ji Heng said, "The eldest prince can recover. Although our guilt is still irreducible, we can feel at ease."

The emperor looked at Ji Heng and said, "He is already in poor health. Even if he can get through it, he will probably not be able to bear the heavy responsibility when he grows up. It is hard to say whether he can get through it."

Ji Heng gave him a disapproving glance, and the emperor continued, "I need a prince who can inherit me better."

Ji Heng's heart tightened, and he seemed to have sensed the emperor's intentions. He said, "Continuing the bloodline is also your duty, Your Majesty. Nowadays, many old ministers also feel that your Majesty has a small number of people in the harem and few children, which is not good for the country."

The emperor gave Ji Heng a slightly annoyed look, and Ji Heng originally planned to enter the palace to suffer the emperor's wrath, and he wanted to know the specific circumstances of Concubine Ji Xian's murder of the eldest prince, and whether she was being slandered, but at this time I found that the conversation with the emperor was developing in a very strange direction. The reason was attributed to the emperor's attitude towards him. It seemed that the emperor was a little cautious, and he was constantly thinking about his words so as not to irritate him.

Ji Heng was surprised, but it was difficult to ask for a while.
