Jia Jing, national teacher of the Red Chamber

Why did he side with the sixth prince at the last moment? Jia Jing thought about it for a long time last night.

It's bullshit to say that the emperor should be the Seventh Prince. The original Jia Jing didn't know how to make alchemy.

King Zhongshun and the Seventh Prince were the first to be excluded. They both knew how to be emperors. Now that they could use him, he would probably be the first to be liquidated after they really gained a firm foothold.What's more, the Seventh Prince didn't intend to let him live with Eunuch Dai's words before the court, and King Zhongshun obviously planned to squeeze him out.

As for the eldest grandson, among other things, his father is the King of Zhongshun. His father knows how to be an emperor, so he will teach his son, so what is the use of him?

The second prince is too old, and his character has already been established. Even if he has not received the education of an emperor, it does not prevent him from becoming a person with his own opinions. If he becomes the emperor, Jia Jing will not be able to become a national teacher.

Fifth Prince?As the old emperor said, this child is too impulsive, and he is most suitable to be used as a gunman. Jia Jing does not want to be choked to death in the future.

So there is only the sixth prince left. The sixth prince has been weak and sick since he was a child, and even his mother and concubine couldn't bear to force him to make progress, so this person grew up playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child. The teacher is the most suitable.

But there is also the eighth prince who is only 13 years old. Jia Jing said that if he is established, the tendency will be too obvious.Unless he can electrify the old emperor again, it is absolutely impossible.

How about just like this, the clan is also satisfied, and everyone is happy.

The ministers outside the door have been hearing the sound of thunder since Jia Jing entered. Finally, the thunder died down. When the door opened, Eunuch Dai came out wiping his tears. The first sentence was, "The Sixth Highness succeeds the throne , Emperor Daxing is mourning."

There was so much noise, it took Jia Jing only a quarter of an hour to go in, so it's settled?Those who had voted for the Seventh Prince were terrified, but they thought that the Sixth Prince never cared about anything, so they felt a bit more at ease.The group of people who remained silent under the signal of King Zhongshun also felt at ease. No matter what, we are the most hidden group, and it’s okay.

The happiest people are all the officials of the Ministry of Rites. My master has come to power, so I hurried back to draw up the edict, and there are also the title of the new emperor and the posthumous title of the Daxing emperor. There are many things.

"The first emperor was killed by Jia Jing!" After suppressing for several days, the officials were agitated, and some conflicts were inevitable between their words. "We have to deal with him before we talk about anything else!"

"How is it possible, he is the late emperor's confidant, have you ever seen anyone who can rise to the title so quickly?"

"That's right, my son was working in the palace that day, and he said that Mr. Jia brought eight boxes of things when he came out, and Eunuch Dai delivered them himself."

Jia Jing also came out. He was still wearing a prison uniform and a windbreaker. When he saw the scene outside, he raised his hand, thunder, lightning, wind and rain.

Although they are free to go home to recuperate, there are still less than half of the courtiers who claim to be loyal ministers who have been in the palace all the time.

Mr. Dai said: "My lords, let's go home and wash up first."

When they got out of the palace gate, the courtiers couldn't hold back and looked back again, feeling that it was raining at the place where they were standing, and Jia Jing could still see Jia Jing smiling and waving through the rain curtain.

"Did you see it? It must be that the late emperor appeared to give you special advice!"

Turning around and returning to the main hall, the coffin of the old emperor under the dragon chair has been carried away. Jia Jing took the first step and knelt down, "Long live, long live, long live, Your Majesty!"

Only then did the sixth prince hesitantly climb up the dragon chair step by step as if he had just woken up from a dream.

The four county kings in the clan knelt down first, and the second and fifth princes were in no particular order, as long as they were not the seventh!

The Seventh Prince was so frightened that he sat on the ground just now, he didn't get up, and barely knelt down.

As for King Zhongshun, his eyes longed to dig out flesh from Jia Jing and Eunuch Dai, but the situation forced him to kneel down towards the new emperor.

So far, the 27-day farce from the death of the first emperor has temporarily come to an end.

The main hall was quickly cleaned out under the arrangement of Eunuch Dai, and Concubine Zhao was also brought back to the harem. Although she had the late emperor's child in her belly, she was suspected of murdering the late emperor, so she was temporarily put under guard.

What is the first thing you should do when you become an emperor?The sixth prince didn't have a clue at all, his mind was filled with emotions like "My God!", and he temporarily lost his ability to think.

Fortunately, there are examples to follow, especially Eunuch Dai, the late emperor's confidant since he was a child, who experienced the late emperor's funeral once, so the unruly mourning hall that was originally located in the emperor's bedroom was completely destroyed, and the side hall of the Qianqing Palace was destroyed. It was changed into a mourning hall, white cloths were hung everywhere in the palace, the red lanterns were replaced one by one, and uniform mourning clothes were found.

The big bell rang, and the late emperor had officially passed away!

The first emperor died 27 days ago, and the ministers already knew about it, and even put incense on it. Emperor, everyone subconsciously wanted to avoid this paragraph, so they took the initiative to ignore the fact that they had already kowtowed to the late emperor, saying: Let's do it again according to the formal procedure.That's the emperor, or the emperor who once appeared, so a few more kowtows are nothing.

In the first three days of the funeral, there was a vigil for internal staff. Jia Jing saw that he was fine, so he said he wanted to go back to the house to change clothes. The sixth prince subconsciously didn't want him to go.Because the sixth prince has never been an emperor, he is very panicked now. He subconsciously thinks that since Jia Jing can make him an emperor, there is a way for him, so he wants him to stay by his side all the time.

Hearing that Jia Jing was about to leave, King Zhongshun followed subconsciously, "Mr. Jia doesn't have to come back. This has nothing to do with you, and it's not in compliance with the rules."

Well, the late emperor started knocking on the coffin again...

Jia Jing ignored him, gave Eunuch Dai a wink, and left the palace.

Jia Zhen had been waiting at the gate of Rong Enbo's house, and hired a carriage. Three of their fathers and sons were in the carriage, and there were two people who took care of their younger sister. Seeing her father's return, Jia Zhen hurried down from the carriage, After saluting, he burst into tears.

Jia Jing took his son with one hand and knocked on the door with the other. Although this son was a bit of a jerk at times, he was able to share weal and woe, and even said that he would die together. Jia Jing was still a little moved.

Yushan has already reported back to the government, so hot water, food and other things have been prepared.Immediately, he opened the side door, drove the carriage in again, and finished washing for half an hour.

The family sat at the round table, Jia Jing held Xichun in his arms, while comforting Jia Zhen, he patted Jia Rong from time to time, Jia Zhen was so patronizing and crying, the child was almost scared to death.

"It's okay." Jia Jing said, "Why are you crying, your father and I are not dead yet!" Sure enough, after a few curses, Jia Zhen returned to normal.

"You guys have a good rest." Jia Jing said while counting, "The late emperor's coffin will stay in the palace for 27 days, and then the emperor will have to observe mourning for three months. You stay at home safely."

Jia Jing was halfway through speaking, and the messenger from the palace came again, and the emperor asked him to go back.This time King Zhongshun didn't object, and the seventh prince didn't say a word. Jia Jing left for less than two hours, and the late emperor knocked on the coffin six times.

The more the first emperor knocked, the louder the sound, and then it was obvious that the knock was not in one place, and there were three or five knocks at the same time. If the coffin was not covered in three layers, the Seventh Prince was afraid that his father would be knocked out of it.

It was a young eunuch who passed the decree. To be honest, several princes wanted to come out together, so as not to stay in the palace and be frightened by their father. Don't go either.

Jia Jing looked at his still wet hair and said, "Eunuch, wait a moment, I'll go change."

As soon as Jia Jing returned to the bedroom, he heard a voice: "Xianjun, you can finally hear me." There is no doubt that it is the fairy grass that has almost grown into a tree, and it is waving its leaves and twisting it happily.

Standing in front of the grass jelly, Jia Jing didn't speak.Xiancao said again: "Xianjun, go and bring my sister over quickly."

"Your sister?" Should I use digging?Jia Jing hurriedly changed his clothes, and left with his father-in-law, not paying much attention to the fairy grass with its teeth and claws.

On the first night of the wake, under the strong request of the princes, Jia Jing entered the mourning hall together.Because they were afraid of knocking on the coffin of Emperor Lei Jia, the princes were all safe and sound, and nothing happened.In the blink of an eye, on the third night, Jia Jing was called out by Eunuch Dai.

After three days of vigil, the new emperor's first court meeting will be held.Logically speaking, at this court meeting, the posthumous title of the former emperor, the reign title of the new emperor, and concubines in the harem should be decided first.The most important thing is to read the late emperor's last edict, reward the ministers who left the orphans before his death, and several princes who were promoted from the emperor's son to the emperor's brothers, and then the new emperor's first imperial edict, mainly to amnesty the world , and rewards for his own people, as well as rewards for the first emperor's important officials.

Names are easy to deal with, just choose a good name, although the death of the first emperor is a bit disgraceful, but the courtiers don't know.The embarrassment is that the first emperor did not leave a will, and Jia Jing is the only one who can barely be regarded as a minister of Tuogu, and he still has a title, and he has no official position. After that, it will be the problem of the Seventh Prince.

When Jia Jing entered the imperial study room, the study room was full of about 20 people.Seeing Jia Jing coming in, everyone stopped for a while, then remembered that it was not going to rain in the house, but they finally became quieter.

Seeing Jia Jing, the sixth prince, whose name has not yet been fully rectified, was overjoyed and greeted, "Hurry up and bring a chair."

Jia Jing sat there, the audience quarreled for a while, and finally understood what was going on.He thought about what he did when Ning Guogong died?The servants in the family pay more money for one month, the more favored in front of the master, the more benefits.

It’s not that these ministers don’t know what to do, it’s just that the late emperor’s death was too sudden, there was no will, and many steps could not be settled by following the old rules. , and from time to time the topic got off topic, and several older courtiers began to wipe their sweat.

"Okay!" The sixth prince patted the paperweight on the desk and said, "Do it again from the beginning, this time it's settled." He squinted, and the editor of the Imperial Academy took a thick stack of records and began to read .

The first emperor's posthumous title has a total of 21 characters: Wen Rui Guang Cheng Yi Guangxian... Later Jia Jing was distracted and didn't listen to them all.I've been arguing about this for two days, so everyone is fine.

For the new emperor's year name, first use the first emperor's year name, and then change it to a new one next year. This is not the focus of the dispute, and the word Ningchang was finally settled.

The concubines of the former emperor, those who had sons were taken out of the palace, those who gave birth to daughters stayed in the palace, and those who did not have children also stayed in the palace, and none were buried.Except for the mother concubine of the sixth prince who was promoted to empress, the rest are concubines and concubines, and no one has any objection to this.

The next thing is the late emperor's edict. Logically speaking, there are three parts in the late emperor's edict. First, he remembers his own life, then praises the succeeding prince, and then rewards Minister Tuogu.

The first emperor had no edict, so he could only compile it. Anyway, such edicts are usually written by ministers with good writing skills.The first part is easy to talk about, and the second part is similar. Didn’t there be an edict from the former emperor: the sixth prince is the one who pays the most attention to brotherhood among the many princes, so just lean on it.The next one is Minister Tuogu, and Jia Jing is the first one.

The emperor meant to raise his title to first-class prince, but the courtiers disagreed. Since the founding of the country, there have been a total of eight titles, and they are all heroes who followed the ancestors to conquer the world.Jia Jing?no.

The sixth prince is also very determined. If it weren't for Jia Jing, he would be the emperor?And he still has a child in Jia Jing's hands who doesn't know when he will come.This credit is the founding of the country for him.

Jia Jing heard what they meant, so he coughed twice and said: "When the late emperor was alive, he once told his ministers that Mr. Li has both virtue and ability, and he is a useful talent."

The prime minister who was named, Mr. Li, smiled, "The late emperor praised you." He was satisfied, and with these words, he was still the prime minister, so he stopped talking.

Jia Jing said again: "All the lords of the Six Departments have worked hard and made great achievements. The late emperor has always remembered it in his heart. He once told his ministers that he would entertain all the lords in the palace."

OK, no problem.The old emperor's old troops remained motionless for the time being, and everyone was satisfied.

The prime minister, Mr. Li, was the first to go out, kowtowed to the sixth prince and said: "Mr. Jia was deeply favored by the late emperor, has made great contributions to the community, and is a descendant of Duke Ning, so he should be rewarded."

"The minister waits for reconsideration!"

Jia Jing also laughed, but he remembered his son, grandson and daughter being kicked out of the house, and said solemnly: "I have an only son in my family, who has studied astronomical phenomena and calendars since he was a child. , so as to serve His Majesty." Qin Tianjian is almost the only department that can be admitted without taking the Jinshi examination, and this department is very special. Although the largest supervisor is only the fifth rank, almost everyone has a chance to go to court. s right.

Lord Li and Lord Chen, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials standing next to him, looked at each other, remembering the unexpected thunder and rain the day before yesterday, and even though it was attributed to King Zhongshun, it was actually the heavy rain that Jia Jing begged for. Mr. Chen came out and said: "The position of the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor is vacant." It doesn't matter, there are people under the supervisor who can work, and, isn't there still Mr. Rong En, if his son is wrong, Mr. Rong En must be It can also be remedied.

The next day when the new emperor went to court for the first time, Jia Jing was made a first-class prince. Although Jia Zhen had already been given the title to Jia Rong, she was made the Qintian Supervisor in the new emperor's first imperial decree. Yes, it can be regarded as the only grace.

The emperor's brothers, except for the seventh prince, were all made princes, and everyone was happy.
