In the end, the emperor finally made a decision to demote Jia Zhen to a seventh-rank supervisory censor. As compensation, Jia Zhen was granted a license to inspect Nanzhili.Although the results of the First Prince and Second Prince were not very satisfactory, they were acceptable.Besides, if they don't give up, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the eldest princess to explain.

Jia Zhen knew what the emperor was thinking. Anyway, his son was always precious.However, the emperor actually asked him to be the supervisory censor, which he did not expect. The official position of censor is actually quite good. The emperor has long stipulated that the censor, as a speech officer, can speak freely without adding any crime, which is the so-called openness of speech and humility in accepting advice.As for Nanzhili, it is a good place. It includes [-] prefecture-level units including Yiyingtian Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, and Fengyang Mansion. Yangzhou and other places are also within the scope of Nanzhili. It can be said that the entire dynasty The money bag of the hall, the place where these princes' minions must be.

There is an idea in Jia Zhen's mind that is just around the corner, and Jia Zhen decides to put it into action.Emperor Wen Yuan is old, and he is no longer the promising king of the past. Now he is blindly pursuing peace on the surface, intentionally or unintentionally intensifying the open and secret fights among the princes, so he will try his best to do his duty and let the emperor know the real truth. The situation, if you want to use him to put out the fire, in exchange for a few months of peace between the first prince and the second prince, and to warn the fifth prince by the way, it also depends on whether he is willing to cooperate?

Xu Wenqing and Wu Ke feel sorry for Jia Zhen, but this is obviously not something they can say.They are also very worried now, they can't take care of themselves, and they won't get involved in these things in order to avoid troubles, but Jia Zhen's former boss Liu Ming, the chief envoy of the General Secretary, asked Jia Zhen to go out for a drink.Liu Ming is now in his 60s, and he will retire in a few years, so he doesn't have too many scruples.Speaking of it, it was Jia Zhen's luck. Although the two were dozens of years apart, they hit it off. Liu Ming's son was released with his family, and his wife passed away. He was alone in the capital, and he was very lonely.Therefore, Jia Zhen often visited him, and the two of them chatted to relieve boredom, and the relationship became even better.

"If you lose your horse, how can you know it's not a blessing." Liu Ming has been in the officialdom for most of his life, and he can see everything clearly. The capital is now a circle of right and wrong. Although other places are not necessarily better, it is better than the capital. hands and feet. "Don't worry, I don't know this truth. It's good to go out and have a look. I always feel that the capital is a bit boring." Jia Zhen added a glass of wine to Liu Ming with a smile and said with a smile. "I know, but I'm just reminding you that I'm afraid I've got into a dead end. I'm an old bone, and I should take a good rest in a few years." Liu Ming drank his wine and said with a smile.

"I think you are growing strong, don't always say that you can't do it anymore." Jia Zhen shook her head, and lowered her head to drink a glass. "At this age, dissatisfaction is always unacceptable. Besides, I also want to relax for a few years and live a lifetime. What do I want? Isn't the ultimate goal just to be happy? I am a big official, but , but this life is not happy. I just look forward to a few years of comfortable and happy life." Liu Ming said the truth, Emperor Wen Yuan is not a generous person.

"Bo Xi, you are so young now, you will definitely not understand my feelings. When you are old, you will always think of the past. I just miss the jujube trees in my hometown. I dream about it. It's time for Ye Luo to return to her roots." Liu Ming said this with a look of nostalgia on his expression.Jia Zhen had some inexplicable feelings in her heart. He had seen this expression before, on the faces of his grandparents, maternal grandparents and many old people. It was a lonely expression, a kind of expression after the fire burned out. Depression.

"Old Liu, you should comfort me today, but now it's my turn to comfort you." Jia Zhen tried her best to break the frozen atmosphere and smiled. "What do I want to comfort, you don't know how happy I am? I just wait for everything to be arranged properly, and I can relax. It's a pity, I'm afraid we will only be able to communicate by letter in the future. Let's sit and chat I'm afraid I can't play chess or something. If you gain something, you will lose it." Liu Ming sighed. "Seeing how you want to live a relaxed and happy life so much, I don't care if I don't have chess friends in the future." Jia Zhen happily changed the subject and said with a smile.

"Keep the clouds open to see the moonlight." Liu Ming added another glass of wine to Jia Zhen and told Jia Zhen. "I see, isn't it just a knife on the head of the word, you should save your tongue." Jia Zhen took a bite of vegetables with a smile.The two chatted for a long time before going back home.

The Chu family had already gotten the news, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Although Jia Zhen had sent someone back to tell her, but she hadn't seen Jia Zhen with her own eyes, she was always uneasy. "Rujun?" Jia Zhen looked at Chu family in a trance alone in the room, and couldn't help being a little puzzled, so she asked. "Bo Xi, you—" Mrs. Chu wanted to ask a question, but she was afraid of stepping on Jia Zhen's sore spot, so she couldn't utter the words, so she just answered, "We are always together."

Mrs. Chu has always been clever and eloquent. This is the first time Jia Zhen saw such a clumsy side. She couldn't help but feel warm. She held Mrs. Chu's hand and said with a smile, "What are you worried about? I have you, my parents and My child, that's enough. This is just a little bit of trouble, I can't stand it as a husband. Don't underestimate me." Hearing this, the Chu family finally felt relieved and leaned on Jia Zhen's side. On the shoulder, said: "I believe in you."

When Jia Zhen was demoted, Wang Ziteng was the happiest person. Now Jia Zhen's rank is lower than him, but this complacency and joy will soon be gone, because Jia Zhen still has a third-class authority. General Lie's vainglory is still firmly on his head.Therefore, Wang Ziteng still couldn't help drinking, and sooner or later he would use his own ability to make Jia Zhen bow her head completely, in order to repay the humiliation of that day.

Jia Zhen didn't feel Wang Ziteng's resentment and revenge.He is now trying to convince his father, mother, and mother-in-law. This time he is the supervisory censor, and he still has to bring his family to take office.The eldest princess and Jia Jing and his wife were reluctant to part with their granddaughter and grandchildren, so they wanted to keep the three Jiahua siblings.Jia Zhen firmly disagreed this time. It was a helpless choice to keep Jing Shu in the capital. Now and then, especially at Jia Mao and Jia Wei's age, their temperaments are not settled. Jia Zhen was really worried about her upbringing. Besides, Jia Jing, his wife and the eldest princess were getting older, so they would inevitably spoil their children and grandchildren. If they developed a dandy temper or became a devil in the world, it would be too late for Jia Zhen to cry.The children will inevitably suffer some hardships following him and the Chu family. It is not as if the capital is stable, but after all, the family reunion is also convenient for him and the Chu family to raise and correct the children's mistakes in time.

The mother-in-law didn't know what Chu said, but the eldest princess finally let go.But it is not easy for Jia Zhen's parents to pass the test. "No." Jia Jing interrupted his son's words again, and said, "You were also raised by Zu Kao back then, I don't think it was very good. Now why are you allowed to educate my grandson? I will educate him I'm afraid it's stronger than you." Jia Jing's words were very offensive.Facing Jia Jing who was really unable to communicate, Jia Zhen could only say: "No matter what my father says, Brother Yang and Brother Hui must follow me." Jia Jing looked at Jia Zhen who saluted and walked out of the yard, and couldn't help but Sighing, he is not close to his son. In the early years, he was busy with the imperial examination and had no time to discipline Jia Zhen. Later, he became fascinated by Buddhism and Taoism, so he didn't care much about his son. At this age, it is too late to re-cultivate the relationship.The reason why he dotes on his grandchildren so much is probably because he feels guilty and compensated for Jia Zhen. Moreover, the reason why he wants to keep his grandchildren is because he is old and lonely, and secondly, it is only for the sake of Brother Zhen. It's just a family letter, without the concern of grandchildren, my son's family letter is probably as simple as it is, as much as it is written.Thinking of this, Jia Jing showed a wry smile, then shook his head, he will change his words tomorrow, that's all, this twisted melon is not sweet.

Mrs. Li and Jia Jing have been husband and wife for many years, but they have touched Jia Jing's mind, but she doesn't want to take too much care, and if her son and daughter-in-law are filial to her, that's enough.As for Jia Jing, the relationship between the two of them has always been very cold, but they just live together.Besides, Mrs. Li didn't have no resentment towards Jia Jing for abandoning their mother and son. Zhen'er was only 19 years old at that time. To support the entire Ningguo Mansion alone, the chaos of the Ningguo Mansion and the chaos of the clan at that time, those things may not be completely handled by the adults. In the capital, everyone in the clan is watching the jokes of the Ningguo Mansion, Zhener The joke, where was Jia Jing at that time?

Mrs. Li treats Mrs. Chu very well, not for anything else, but because of Mrs. Chu's affection for her son.When Zhen'er was in Jinling, she didn't know the gossip about him in the capital, saying that he was too ruthless, and that he oppressed his tribe.People's words are awesome, at this time she asked someone to send a letter to Jia Jing, but Jia Jing was still practicing alchemy, only the Chu family went forward and retreated with her, and together they gradually suppressed these rumors.If it weren't for the fact that Jia Jing failed in alchemy when Zhen'er was going to be released, would Jia Jing come back here so easily to help Zhen'er manage the affairs of the capital?Li looked at her son walking all the way, without his father's blessing and help, and looked at other fathers and sons, feeling more sour than proud. She was sincerely grateful to her father-in-law for his spared no effort in cultivating Zhen'er.Therefore, Li Shi was not surprised at all when he saw his son's love for his children. He felt that his son didn't get the father's love at the beginning, so he didn't want his children to not get the father's love.

Jia Zhen was surprised for a while when Jia Jing let go of his mouth suddenly. Anyway, no matter whether Jia Jing agrees or not, this matter is nothing to discuss.He doesn't have any feelings for Jia Jing. It is Jia Daihua and Li Shi who really make him feel belonging to this place and this family, so he can't talk about love or hate for Jia Jing, just treat him as a person. Get along with familiar strangers, just do what a son should do.
