The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 33

The Holy Majesty is now in his 50s and close to 60 years old. Considering the average age of this era, he can really be counted as an old man. If there is no legitimate heir, what happens to the Holy Majesty in the future? The world is really in chaos.

Although the Holy Majesty may not be ignorant of the importance of establishing a crown prince, the Holy Majesty is still very dissatisfied with the old age. He believes that his body is still healthy and there is no need to rush for a while, so he feels more dissatisfied when looking at these papers.

Especially seeing that most of the people in it were secretly praising Tu Mingyi, such a scene made people who had just experienced a forced rebellion unavoidably feel a kind of "forced palace" in public opinion.

Anyway, it's all kinds of psychological problems.

When people get old, it is always easy to miss the past, and besides, there happens to be a descendant of the old minister's family by his side.But Jia Daishan still has a very good impression in the mind of the Holy Master, and now it is not easy to bring him back to talk.

——Although Jia Zhu actually only wants to avoid this kind of embarrassing big thing now, and doesn't want to look at him differently at all.

But the so-called thunder, rain and dew are the grace of the king, and no one can expect the Holy Majesty to be the kind person who accurately sensed Jia Zhu's entanglement. I showed Jia Zhu a brochure, and in a seemingly ordinary brochure asking for peace, the matter of establishing a reserve was mentioned in a not-so-subtle way.

To be honest, when the Holy Spirit asked her opinion, the only thought in Jia Zhu's mind was why she didn't think about complaining about illness until everything was settled before returning to work.

Although the excerpts are not short in length, in fact, you can probably understand the general meaning of the excerpts after just a glance or two. Therefore, although Jia Zhu lowered his head and seemed to read the contents of the excerpts seriously, he actually thought What matters is how to play the right answer.

Don't look at Jia Zhu who was kindly selected as Jinshi in the end, but after all, he was admitted all the way to the imperial examination by relying on his true talents and knowledge-this imperial examination is really a one-plank bridge for thousands of troops to cross, it is not an easy thing.In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics for imperial examinations, Jia Zhu's history books are also very good.

In this case, as the power that abolished the prince, it is really not suitable for my family to participate in this matter - besides, my own power is really nothing, and there is really no need to be involved as cannon fodder.

Not to mention that his mind is now full of how to be wise and protect himself, even if he really has a fever and decides to support the eldest prince with the Zhen family, then he has to talk about it in a roundabout way.

"Although it is a bit rushed to bring up this matter as soon as the crown prince was deposed, the establishment of the crown prince is indeed a major event in the court. After all, the crown prince is different from other princes. You may not be able to take on the position of the crown prince of a country, and the Holy Majesty will always spend a lot of time teaching it." What Jia Zhu said can be said to be a panacea, no matter how you look at it, there is no flaw.After all, this country and society are different from the family property of noble people. If the Holy Majesty can no longer appoint an heir, then the world will inevitably be in chaos in the future, so this matter must take some time to consider.As for the so-called transcendence...at least Jia Zhu felt that his brother-in-law was the kind of person who could be a prince and prince, but would definitely not be able to take on the position of prince for a while.

But in the same way, Jia Zhu also perfectly avoided the question of the candidate for the crown prince.

But the Holy Majesty obviously won't let Jia Zhu go easily: "When your grandfather was here, I often discussed gossip with me, and I have some insights. You might as well tell me that I still have many princes left. You Which do you think is most suitable?"

The Holy Majesty is not ignorant of the connection between the Zhen family.The Holy Majesty is grateful for the love of the old lady of the Zhen family, so he always expresses his acquiescence to the fact that the Zhen family covers the sky with one hand in the Jiangnan officialdom - but this does not mean that the Holy Majesty will also follow the Zhen family's wishes when it comes to the matter of the crown prince. I mean to do it.

As for the fact that the Zhen family handed over the letter to the Jia family, the Holy One was even more aware of it.

As the eldest prince's niece, the Zhen family wholeheartedly relied on supporting the eldest prince. This was a matter of course. Although the Holy Majesty did not like this kind of clique for personal gain, he could understand the Zhen family's thinking.But just as Tanchun guessed, the Holy Majesty would also not be willing to see the power he allocated to the prince at the beginning go to the First Prince for various reasons.

Jia Zhu had never been a fool, logically speaking, even if the Holy Majesty had a deep relationship with his grandfather, it would be impossible for him to ask a young man with a seventh-rank official position about such an important matter.Especially since I have already stated my opinion before, if the Holy One just asked casually like gossip, after listening to my previous performance, why bother to ask myself about my opinion.

Previously, Tanchun deliberately ran to the second room to stop the words he said in the middle of the night regardless of impoliteness, but now he couldn't help lingering in his ears.

"The minister was just studying at home for many years. In fact, he didn't know much about the princes. He only heard from his grandfather that the prince was smart when he was young. At most, the year before last, the twelve princes married the minister's younger sister. After the second prince came out of the palace to open the mansion, he could only meet the twelve princes once in a while, but the rest of the princes did not have any friendship with the ministers. Before the emperor was young, he established the first prince because of the sages who said that the son should be a son. , as for what is going on now, it depends on the holy will, and I dare not speculate. If it is based on the distance of the relationship, the twelve princes are the closest to the minister. I just think about it rationally. No matter from which point of view, ten Although the second prince is also an outstanding person, he is not outstanding among the many highnesses, so he dare not have delusions." Since it is inevitable to say a name, Jia Zhu can only choose the safest person.

Since the Twelfth Prince married Jia Zhu's direct sister, it would not be a problem if he was the closest prince to Jia Zhu, and the Twelfth Prince was only young in recent years, even though he was married and left the palace, But he hasn't received an errand yet, let alone talking about his subordinates, so now that Jia Zhu mentioned his name, no one would think that it has anything to do with forming a party.

Jia Zhu's response is actually not inappropriate. Even the Holy One knew that the Zhen family and the Jia family had always been friends, so he had no way of finding out from Jia Zhu's answer whether the Jia family had been on Zhen's side for a long time. At most, it can be seen that Jia Zhu has no intention of speaking for the Zhen family at the moment.

After all, if we talk about it, the Zhen family and Jia family have always had a good relationship, but because the Jia family has already lost power, they can't help the Zhen family, and we can't find any clues from the other actions of the Jia family.

Jia Zhu is actually not very good at observing words and expressions, but even so, he can also see that the Holy Spirit does not seem to be too high. Thinking about what he said carefully, and thinking about what happened at home, he decided to put Jia Zhu in the end. The mother betrayed: "Grandmother had a lot of friendship with the old lady of the Zhen family when she was young. In addition, the Zhen family and the Jia family had a few in-laws in Jinling, so they can be regarded as old relatives. Since After the grandfather passed away, the family didn’t really have much contact with the nobles, only the grandmother is still the wife of the country, and she can still have some contact with the family members of many noble and veteran officials, but it’s not like when the grandfather was there. It's getting close, but after the younger sister of the sage admiral promised to the twelve princes the year before last, quite a few people have reconnected with the family."

Although Jia Zhu didn't directly tell the story of the Zhen family, but based on these words alone, it can be known that the Zhen family is probably one of those families who have continued to contact the Rongguo Mansion one after another.

Jia Zhu didn't dare to talk directly about the eldest prince's affairs, so she had to circle around the old relatives of the Zhen family and Jia's family - firstly, he didn't know whether the Holy Majesty had the intention to appoint the eldest prince as his heir, and secondly, it was based on Jia's family. The family's current power and abilities are not suitable, and they directly offended the Zhen family and the eldest prince's party in one go.

He didn't believe that the Holy Majesty knew nothing about his family's affairs. Although the Holy Majesty might not know what Jia's mother was thinking in private, the closeness of the Zhen family and the Jia family could not be hidden from anyone, no matter how naive Jia Zhu was. I don't know what's going on and I don't believe that the Holy Majesty will not know about Jia's mother's correspondence with the Zhen family every year.

Jia Zhu's confession gained some trust from the Holy Majesty. At least the Holy Majesty stopped entangled with the Lichu matter after hearing this sentence. Instead, he picked up another book that remembered other things for Jia Zhu to read. It's like turning over the previous one.

In fact, although Jia Daishan has passed away, it does not mean that Jia Daishan's legacy has disappeared. For example, Lin Ruhai, who is in charge of the Yanzheng in Yangzhou, is Jia Daishan's son-in-law. There are also many generals in the army who used to be Jia Daishan's robes, but Jia No one in the family joined the army, so this part of the power did not show up.Not to mention that the Jia family's loss of power was not a sudden change overnight, but a subtle and slow process. Therefore, in fact, many old friends of the noble family still have some connections with the Jia family, and they have not broken up. It's just that she has become more attentive since Yuan Chun married into the royal family.

It's just that the Jia family's power is nothing more than that.Because of the Jia family's loss of power, even the abolished prince had long since stopped contacting the Rongguo Mansion. The so-called sect's influence had long existed in name only, and the Jia family's ability could not do anything for anyone.Under such circumstances, the Jia family can't help the Zhen family and the first prince's lineage at all, let alone have any influence or harm on the prince.

After all, the Holy Majesty was too impressed with Jia Daishan, and the Jia family has not lost the title, so the Holy Majesty has not found out what happened to the Jia family after Jia Daishan passed away.After listening to Jia Zhu's words, think again about Jia She, who has never been an official, and Jia Zheng, who has been in the Ministry of Industry for many years. After all, he realized that the Jia family is insignificant in this matter, so he didn't continue to question Jia Zhu. .
