Chapter 1578 Everyone in the Beijing camp follows the prince’s lead!
Shenjing City, Jingying
At this moment, Jia Heng gave orders to a group of officers and soldiers from the Beijing camp, and then left the central military camp. Accompanied by the surrounding officers, he inspected the officers and soldiers in the barracks.
After a while, Jia Heng returned to a side hall of the central army barracks, found a chair with a backrest and sat down, called Fan Yi, and the two of them chatted together.
Fan Yi lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, Elder Gao wants the clan members to cause chaos in Sichuan?"
Jia Heng's eyes were filled with coldness, and he said, "Gao Zhongping is just one of them. Now in the capital, many civil officials have many complaints against me. I am afraid they are just waiting for local chaos to break out. I will rectify the situation and help the country."
Upon hearing this, Fan Yi showed a ruthless look on his face and asked, "Why didn't your Highness take the initiative? Capture the Gao family's people and put them in jail to judge their crimes."
Jia Heng's eyes flickered fiercely under his sword-like brows, and he said loudly: "Their signs of rebellion have not yet been revealed. This matter will take some time, otherwise, it will be difficult to stop the gossips among the upper and lower levels."
At this point, he added: "A cabinet minister has just been exiled."
Upon hearing this, Fan Yi nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed not appropriate for you to start a fight now."
Jia Heng turned his eyes to Fan Yi and warned him, "Recently, you must keep an eye on the Beijing camp to prevent anyone from misleading the officers."
Although his control over the Beijing Camp has reached its maximum, he still has to be wary of some middle and lower-level officers who may do something stupid one day because of the "gratitude" of Li Zan and others.
Fan Yi bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Everyone in the Beijing Army will follow Your orders!"
Jia Heng's face was calm and he gave a few more instructions.
As he was talking, he did not linger in the Beijing camp for long, but returned to Ningguo Mansion under the escort of the Jinyi Guards and came to the study in the outer house.
At this moment, Chen Xiao stepped forward, his fair face showing concern, and asked, "What did the officers say when you went to the Beijing Camp?"
Jia Heng said in a resolute voice: "We will prepare for war within a few months, but we must first stabilize the country before we can resist foreign aggression. When the chaos in Bashu breaks out, we will send elite troops to wipe out the rebels."
Chen Xiao said: "It's hot in summer, and the heat is rising. It's not convenient to advance. Bashu should wait for a while to raise food, fodder, and weapons."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Then wait for the news."
As he spoke, he came to a chair and sat down.
At this moment, Gu Ruoqing was holding a blue and white porcelain teapot, poured a cup of tea for Jia Heng, came forward and handed the teacup over.
Jia Heng reached out to take the teacup, smiled, and asked half-jokingly, "Did Ruoqing brew the tea herself?"
Gu Ruoqing said "hmm", a bright smile appeared on both sides of her face, and she said softly: "This is Biluochun."
Jia Heng lowered his head and took a sip of the fragrant tea, and said, "Xiaoxiao, have Jin Xuan and Pang Shili from the Guanxi Seven Guards delivered any letters recently?"
Chen Xiao said in a gentle voice: "The journey is long, and there has been no urgent military report, but the Jinyifu sent a pigeon letter, saying that Xining has been relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside, and we must be on guard at all times."
Jia Heng said: "Tibet is easy to deal with. The Mongolian king is able to block the pass with one man in Yushu and other places, and ten thousand men cannot break through. The only one who can cause chaos is the Northwest Junggar."
Chen Xiao said: "During this period of time, I will ask the scouts from Jinyi Mansion to keep a close eye on things."
Jia Heng nodded, said nothing more, left the outer study, and prepared to go to the Grand View Garden to see Xichun.
Lotus fragrance pavilion, warm fragrance villa
It was afternoon, the summer heat was scorching, and on the lake surface surrounding the waterside pavilion, lotus flowers were in full bloom, swaying in the sunlight, with fragrance wafting in the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Xichun was in the side room. Her charming face seemed to be covered with blush, and the paintbrush in her hand was a little unsteady.
On the drawing paper was a girl with beautiful features and a petite figure. It was Xichun. But on the other side was a young man with a fierce look and stern features.
Xichun's brush was at a critical position, but she could not put pen to paper.
At this moment, a slim and pretty maid quickly entered the room and said, "Miss, Master Heng is here."
Xichun couldn't hide her joy in her voice, and said, "Brother Heng is here."
After a while, a young man in a python robe walked around a wooden screen with a phoenix pattern and entered the room. He looked at Xichun gently and said with a smile, "Fourth sister, you are painting."
Previously, he gave Xichun a homework assignment, asking her to draw a picture of the intimacy between the two of them, well, it could be considered an erotic album.
Xichun felt a little embarrassed, so she put her brush on the brush holder and said, "Brother Heng is here."
Jia Heng said softly, "Let me see what Fourth Sister has drawn."
As he spoke, he quickly walked up to Xichun, grasped the beautiful woman's slender hand, and sniffed the sweet fragrance from the girl's hair, which was refreshing.
A rosy glow appeared on Xichun's pretty, bright face, and her eyes were filled with the shyness of a young girl.
At this moment, Jia Heng suddenly hugged Xichun's thin and delicate body and felt the breath of her youthful beauty.
Xichun's delicate and fair cheeks flushed red with shame. Feeling the intimacy of the young man in the python robe, her plump and lovely face flushed all over.
Jia Heng nodded and said in a deep voice, "Fourth sister."
Xichun's snow-white face flushed, and she hummed. Then, when she turned her head, she saw the young man in the python costume approaching her and holding her slightly moist lips, grabbing the sweetness.
Xichun felt the intimacy of the young man in the python robe and hummed sweetly. Two rosy blushes appeared on both sides of her plump and lovely face.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he embraced Xichun's thin and delicate body and walked towards the rectangular desk beside the wardrobe.
At this moment, there was a pile of jade-white drawing paper on the desk, and a goat-hair paintbrush was placed not far away.
As for Ruhua, her face, which was as white as snow, had already turned red. She walked slowly to the side of the screen and looked at the two of them in the wind.
The old man was being intimate with the girl again.
As Jia Heng spoke, his eyes were warm beneath his sword-like brows. He fixed his gaze on Xichun, gently took Xichun's slender hand, and said, "Sister, take the brush and paint."
Xichun: "..."
What does it mean?
Then, she felt her fullness and softness fall into the palm of the young man in the python costume. Then, she heard a soft whisper with bursts of warm breath in her ears, which made her heart beat faster.
Xichun's beautiful eyebrows drooped down, and ripples appeared in her bright eyes, charming and trembling, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng."
How does she hold the paintbrush at this time?
While Jia Heng was speaking, he reached out and hugged Xichun's slender waist without saying anything else.
Xichun's cheeks, as white as jade, were blushing like clouds and as red as fire. Feeling the closeness of the person behind her, a faint blush appeared on both sides of her palm-sized face.
At this moment, Jia Heng leaned over to Xichun's rosy, chubby face with a little baby fat and kissed her affectionately.
As he spoke, he embraced Xichun's soft and tender body and walked towards the inner room.
The two of them sat on a soft couch covered with a mattress. The rich fragrance of a young girl in the boudoir suddenly filled their noses and made Jia Heng's heart sway.
After a while, the girl's rosy face turned rosy, and her eyebrows and eyes were filled with spring love and charm. It was obvious that she was immersed in it and couldn't extricate herself.
A look of comfort appeared on Jia Heng's resolute and calm face, and his eyes were sometimes dazed and sometimes focused.
Although Xichun is still very young, she is able to paint, so her mind is extremely delicate and meticulous, and her movements are as gentle as a soft breeze, capturing every corner.
Jia Heng raised his sword-like eyebrows and looked down with cold eyes at Xichun who was serving him. His resolute and calm face also had a bit of daze.
At this moment, Xichun's bright face has become like a red apple, sometimes concave and sometimes bulging.
An unknown amount of time had passed. When Xichun took a breath, her bright eyes were as clear as water. She felt her cheeks were a little sore. She looked at the young man with a puzzled look.
Brother Heng, how...
Jia Heng paused for a moment, took Xichun's delicate hand, and said softly, "Fourth sister, let's do something different."
As he spoke, he took Xichun's slender hand, walked towards the bed in the inner room, and embraced Xichun's soft body.
Xichun seemed to realize something. Her small face, which was as big as a palm, had bright cheeks on both sides, and her bright eyes were as bright as water. She said, "Brother Heng, be gentle..."
Is she going to marry Brother Heng?
Jia Heng said "hmm" and gently opened his two slender and straight eyes. When he lowered his eyes, his eyes paused for a moment and looked at Xichun's bright and beautiful face, feeling inexplicably fond of her.
Well, Xichun has grown up now. She is really a young girl in early February, and now she is more than thirteen years old, graceful and elegant.
The ancients used cardamom to describe it, which is indeed an apt description.
Jia Heng raised his sword-like eyebrows that slanted into his temples, and his clear eyes like crystal water flickered, his gaze became somewhat gentle, and then, his gaze became deep, and his brows just... tightened.
Xichun's plump and graceful body was originally stretched straight, but suddenly her slender eyebrows, as green as ink, frowned, and she let out a sweet moan, and her heart trembled inexplicably.
At this moment, the young man in python clothes came closer, and waves of warm breath blew on her bright face. As he approached, he kissed her slightly pink and moist lips.
Ah, no, Brother Heng just served her... and now he’s kissing her?
However, this thought kept circling in the girl's mind.
Jia Heng came closer and hugged Xichun's soft and delicate body, sniffing her rich and fragrant breath. Then, he moved closer and closer and gently pinched Xichun's soft and delicate face, and her fair and bright face looked a little dazed.
Now, among the four spring seasons, only Yingchun is left.
At that time, it was Yuan Ying Tan Xi, with all four corners complete.
At this moment, Xichun's slender and delicate body was as soft as a silkworm. She slightly narrowed her eyes with curved eyelashes. In her heart, she couldn't help but think of what Jia Heng had told Miaoyu many years ago, who had advised her more so that she could get married and have children in the future.
Humph, I'm afraid he had already been thinking about bullying her this time back then.
He had always been a playboy and a lecher.
The girl's heart trembled slightly as she thought so.
As time passed, I felt a torrent of water like a raging wave, which suddenly overwhelmed me. I suddenly felt like a small boat, floating up and down in the turbulent river.

cabinet, mandarin hall
It was the summer season, the weather was scorching hot, and the cicadas on the sycamore tree in front of the temple were chirping hoarsely, as if they were also exhausted by the heat.
Li Zan sat behind a mahogany desk, reading memorials, and a look of concentration appeared on his resolute and calm face.
"Sir, this year's special examination will be held soon. Should we select suitable examiners?" Qi Kun said.
Li Zan did not raise his head from the memorial and said casually: "Let the Hanlin Academy send some Hanlins to sit behind the lacquered wooden desk and review the examination papers."
Qi Kun was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "According to common practice, the cabinet should appoint a minister to serve as the chief examiner."
Li Zan nodded, turned his gaze to Qi Kun, and asked, "Then let Elder Qi be the chief examiner."
Qi Kun declined and said, "Prime Minister, I don't have time right now. This year, not only is the summer grain issue a problem, but there is also the construction of Emperor Guangzong's mausoleum. There are so many things to do that I can't get away at all."
Upon hearing this, Li Zan frowned and thought about the candidate in his mind.
At this moment, Zhao Yi, who had just entered the cabinet, looked serious and said, "Prime Minister, Elder Lin was originally from the Imperial Academy and is good at writing. It is most appropriate for him to serve as the chief examiner of this special examination."
Gao Zhongping was sitting behind a red lacquered wooden table, reading memorials with a goat-hair brush in his hand, his brows furrowed and a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Lin Ruhai is the father-in-law of Prince Wei's concubine, and now he has been appointed as the chief examiner of the special examination. It is hard to guarantee that he has not been instructed by Prince Wei to win over scholars for him, so as to cultivate his own faction and interfere with the civil officials.
Li Zan frowned and remained silent for a moment.
And as the light in those old eyes moved, it was obvious that he had tasted something in his heart.
Just as Jia Heng guessed, the ministers in Wenhua Palace were all experienced people, so how could they not know the deep meaning of Jia Heng's move.
However, this move was originally a conspiracy that benefited both the public and private sectors, and could not be concealed from Li Zan and Gao Zhongping at all.
Li Zan turned his head to look at Lin Ruhai who was reading a memorial not far away and asked, "Lord Lin."
On Lin Ruhai's side, after finishing the customs affairs, he went to the Wenhua Hall of the Cabinet to handle the affairs, and was reading the memorials submitted by the local governors.
While Lin Ruhai was speaking, he had already put down the memorial in his hand, his eyes were warm, like the warm sunshine, and he asked: "Prime Minister, what's the matter?"
Li Zan nodded and asked, "How is the customs situation?"
Lin Ruhai said solemnly: "The customs affairs have been handed over, and the customs police have purchased a batch of ships. Recently, both the people and the ships are ready, and we can do something big."
Li Zan nodded and asked, "How about having Elder Lin preside over the examination for this year's En Exam?"
Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows, his eyes flickered, and asked, "Today's Enke?"
Li Zan solemnly warned: "There have been many disturbances in the capital before. This time, Lord Lin will be in charge of the cabinet examination. Everything should be done in a safe way. Don't let the candidates cause trouble again."
Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows, his expression paused, his eyes flickered, and he said loudly: "Don't worry, Prime Minister. The imperial examination is a grand ceremony for the country to select talents. I will do my best to ensure that the special examination goes smoothly and does not cause any disaster."
Li Zan then didn't say anything else. He picked up another memorial, looked solemn, and lowered his head to read it.
When Gao Zhongping saw this, his expression changed and he sighed secretly in his heart.
In order for the Han Dynasty to safely pass through this turbulent period, the Prime Minister is now enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens. However, the King of Wei is insatiable and keeps pressing forward. Only by punishing the thief Jia can there be peace.
