Brother Jia Sheshu of the Red Chamber

After seeing Mo Gu, the Holy Majesty asked Xia Dequan to investigate Mo Gu's affairs. Xia Dequan found out about Mo Gu's affairs in less than three days. I also checked the things when I was in the Northeast.

Looking at Mo Gu's experience, Emperor Pingkang couldn't hide his pride. After all, the prince is a prince, no matter where he goes, he can stand out. Mo Gu was able to establish one of the best Jinjiang industries in just a few years. This talent , Compared with other princes, it is really not bad.

But on the other hand, Emperor Pingkang was also in a bit of a dilemma. This daughter of the Mo family lost her life to him first, and then married Jia Daishan. It hurt the face of him and Jia's family, he couldn't recognize the child clearly, so he could only make up for the son in other ways.

Originally, he wanted to give this kid a sum of money and let him become a rich man, but looking at the situation of Jinjiang's industry, to put it bluntly, he might be richer than him, so he can use money to send Mo Therefore.

After much deliberation, Emperor Pingkang decided to give Mo Gu a title that could be hereditary for several generations. After careful calculation, it was almost the same as the prince of the county.

Jia Daishan has made great achievements in guarding the Northwest these years; Jia Yuan even single-handedly stabilized the Northeast, drove the Jurchens out of the Northeast, and found the Jurchens' coal and iron mines in the Northeast. The Duke of the state will continue to be hereditary for three generations.

It happened that Jia Yuan recorded Mo Gu as the second son of the Mo family back then, so he could be regarded as a half-sister. Although Mo also had a Jia Shi family on his head, but based on what the historians did back then, the Jia family made Jia Shi's demoting his wife as a concubine is nothing.

As for the matter of Mo Gu's surname Jia... a green hat has already been put on anyway, so it's okay to drag it down a bit, the most important thing is that his son gets benefits.

As for using the merits of the second generation of the Jia family to pave the way for his son... Ping Kangdi did not blush at all.

In his mind, although the Jia family lost their title, he can give the Jia family another wealth, or give Jia She another marquis. He is an emperor and the world belongs to him, so why not.

Besides, the loss of the prince by the Jia family was a capital crime. The historians can be said to be the chief culprit of the disaster in the Northeast. The Jia family is the in-laws of the historians. The old brother's contribution is now only to ask the Jia family to give up the position of Rong Guogong, which is not an exaggeration.

When I first heard Emperor Pingkang's proposal, Jia Yuan's old blood almost didn't come out, he demoted Jia Shi as a concubine, and let his old brother become the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, you really said that! ?

In fact, Emperor Pingkang said it seriously, and said it in a straightforward manner, which is only natural.

In an instant, Jia Yuan instantly understood who the ability of the third prince came from.Jia Yuan forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, this seems to be..."

Just as Jia Yuan was about to tactfully refuse, Emperor Pingkang said again: "In these years, if you hadn't had my old brother to advise you, I'm afraid you would not have solved the Jurchens barbarians so easily, and the Jinjiang pill , if there is no Jinjiang pill, I am afraid that the matter in the Northeast will not be resolved so quickly."

In a few short sentences, it shows that Jia Yuan's affairs over the years have been under his nose, and at the same time clearly points out that the achievements of the Jia family in the Northeast over the years are not the work of Jia Yuan alone, and there are many others in it. The power of reason.

In this regard, even Jia Yuan has to admit that the Northeast matter would not have gone so smoothly without Mogu's great help, but...but the second generation of the Jia family worked so hard, it would be hard to make it happen like this person?

Jia Yuan was still a bit unwilling, and evaded: "This old brother is no longer our Jia family, I'm afraid..."

Emperor Pingkang waved his hand, "My old brother was just kidnapped to the northeast, and he was walking temporarily under an unknown name. Besides, if it wasn't for Mrs. Jia Shi... how could my old brother have such a disaster?"

When he mentioned the words Jia Shishi, Emperor Pingkang's voice was slightly cold, and Jia Yuan was shocked, knowing that His Majesty knew about Jia Shishi's kidnapping of his old brother back then, he knelt down on the ground subconsciously, trembling He begged: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Get up!" Emperor Pingkang personally helped Jia Yuan up, "Duke Rong is loyal and patriotic, I naturally understand, but this son of the Jia Shi family..."

If it wasn't the son of Jia Shishi who would inherit the Duke of Rongguo today, he would probably be ashamed to make this suggestion, but when he thought that the person who would inherit the Duke of Rongguo in the future would be the son of Jia Shishi, he immediately felt no guilt at all. up.

The greed of the historians led to the disaster in the Northeast, Jia Shi's murder of the emperor's heir, and her son's failure to get the position of Rong Guogong is considered retribution.

Seeing Jia Yuan's face turning green and pale, Emperor Pingkang knew that Jia Yuan was a little moved, and said: "Of course, the meritorious service of Rong Guogong is in the court, so I naturally understand. Speaking of love, I want to be a matchmaker for the prince, what does Jia Gong think of the prince's noble concubine who is the fifth rank?"

Jia Yuan was slightly disturbed, he had three granddaughters from concubines, because they were concubines, it was not easy to talk about marriage, it was quite a bit high and low.Both the old wife and daughter-in-law love their children, and they are unwilling to give their granddaughters to random people. The first two finally got married, and the youngest granddaughter is 16 years old and has no family.

Over the years, he has somewhat seen the Holy Majesty's intentions. On the one hand, he is holding the eldest prince and the fourth prince to fight against the crown prince, and on the other hand, he knows that the holy will is still biased by the continuous supply of money from the Zhen family to support the crown prince. Prince.

The fifth-rank concubine of the crown prince is only a little lower than the side concubine of the crown prince. If the rules are followed, the granddaughter of a concubine may get the position of concubine of the crown prince. Moreover, the crown prince has no children, and the relationship between the prince and concubine is not good. Very harmonious, if the granddaughter gives birth to a son... the glory and wealth of the Jia family will still be in the future.

Although he was moved, Jia Yuan still hesitated. After all, Concubine Ye also gave birth to the eldest prince, but so what, the eldest prince was overwhelmed by the crown prince, and if he was not careful, the whole family would be destroyed if he was not careful. , his Jia family rules are well-behaved and he can enjoy the glory and wealth, so why bother to fight for the merits of being a dragon?

But as soon as the emperor and the courtiers, although he dare not expect any extravagant achievements from the dragon, the prince will definitely appoint his cronies when he succeeds to the throne. Being mediocre, Brother She is even more stupid. If he takes this opportunity to get close to the prince, after the prince succeeds to the throne, the Jia family is bound to decline.

Whether he is willing to be ordinary and stable, but gradually declines, or marry the prince according to the emperor's wishes, in exchange for future glory, Jia Yuan couldn't help hesitating for a while.

Seeing Jia Yuan's emotion, Emperor Pingkang added, "Of course, with Mr. Jia's meritorious service, he is naturally worthy of a position."

Jia Yuan thought to himself, the Holy Majesty may have given the Jia family a seat on purpose, and besides that, there must be many other things to make up for it. It is not an exaggeration for the Holy Spirit to think about it, but...

Jia Yuan sighed: "Old minister, go back to the mansion and discuss with the old wife."

Emperor Pingkang frowned slightly, slightly dissatisfied, but it was not too persuasive, so Jia Yuan could only go back and think.
