A visit to Fangchun

Jia's mother continued: "Because he belonged to the queen mother at that time, King Zhongshun was firmly on the side of the former prince. Even when the former prince was imprisoned, he tried to intercede for the former prince. For this reason, the queen mother He was very grateful. But when he did this, the Empress was even more displeased. At that time, your grandfather was already dying, and there was a sentence mentioned in the legacy book: feel ashamed of yourself, and you have not seen people for a long time. The ancestral hall. The Taishang used this sentence to make a fuss, and even used it to humiliate King Zhongshun in the court, saying that if your grandfather was only blinded for a while, then King Zhongshun would be willing to be blind..."

Tanchun gasped.

Willing to be blind?My grandfather still has troubled descendants behind him, isn't this cursing King Zhongshun to have no heir?Is this what the emperor can say in court?Isn't this going to lure King Zhongshun to rebel?

Jia Mu smiled bitterly and said, "King Zhongshun was injured because of his waist and kidneys in the early battles, and he never had an offspring in his life. At that time, he was selecting nephews from the distant clan and planned to adopt them under his knees. Hearing what the Majesty said, I was so angry that I couldn't hold it anymore. So until now, have you ever heard that King Zhongshun has a son?"

Tanchun covered his face.

The Supreme Emperor's temperament is really... What can people say?

Baoyu was also in a trance when he heard it beside him: "No wonder it is said that King Zhongshun is cruel and surly, and he is suspicious. He has suffered such misfortune..."

Tanchun thought for a while, and couldn't help asking Mother Jia: "The grievance between King Zhongshun and our family is probably a knot that cannot be untied. But why is he so at odds with the Beijing Palace? Did you ever fall into trouble back then?"

Mother Jia sneered slightly: "Beifu is the world's most noble and unrestrained land, the first class of innocence and cleanliness. Their family has always been exquisite in all directions. When the prince entered the palace, their family was the first to break in to save him. Because of this, the Taishang and the present looked at their family with special respect. We discussed in private and only asked one question: How did their family know that something happened in the palace?

"Back when everyone obeyed the former prince, the old Northern King pretended to be noble, but he was very respectful in front of him. King Zhongshun couldn't see his hypocrisy and sarcasm a few times in front of the former prince. For this First, when the crown prince fell, the old northern king was favored again. He got carried away for a moment, and satirized him twice in front of the present. King Zhongshun's violent temper almost punched him directly in the court. The old northern king asked him again. With a white beard, he said that he was too old to beat King Zhongshun.

"In total, King Zhongshun suffered a lot of dark losses in the hands of the old Northern King. There were three or five times. Therefore, the residence of Prince Zhongshun and the Beifu have always been needle-pointed. Later, when the old Northern King passed away, Shui Rong was worse than him. My father is gentle, so the two prefectures have lived in peace for a few years."

Last time, King Zhongshun took advantage of King Beijing, so the conflict between the two governments escalated again.

Tanchun and Baoyu looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

Jia Muzai recounted all the events of the year carefully, and finally sighed in a low voice: "In fact, back then, although the four princes and eight princes were more respectful to the prince, they all looked at the prince. Especially our family, All the private affairs of the prince are handled by the Lai family, our family is just happy to close our eyes and do nothing.

"It's just that these words are still not fully believed today. After your eldest sister was promoted to the throne, you would bring letters out from time to time and ask about the past. I guess, it should be that the current emperor is still confirming the words of several families."

Tanchun sighed softly: "It's also human nature."

The person on the dragon chair will become a machine while alive, and even if there are still some friendships left, it will be twisted into another appearance.

It's just that with such sharp blades hanging high, it's no wonder that the four kings and eight princes are the four surnames of Jinling, and they all have different thoughts. It is always for self-protection. Human beings can do anything, right?

Mother Jia said, thinking of Jia Jing who was lying in the coffin now, she lowered her head and wiped her tears: "In the East Mansion, you respect uncle, he was originally a person who loves reading, when his father was alive, how much did he praise him for his practice?" The demeanor of the old ancestors. But when the Lai family took Qin into the shantang, he immediately announced that he was a monk and practiced Taoism, and he hid in the Xuanzhen Temple outside the city for 20 years.

"I only know that he really doesn't care about family affairs anymore. It turns out that he is still the one who is most willing to do things for this family. It's just because of such a rumor now that he has put his life in it. In my heart ..."

Baoyu flinched, feeling so guilty that she couldn't help crying.

Tanchun shook his head lightly: "Uncle Jing made this decision because he knew that the rumors would become true sooner or later. It was probably just in case, and if King Zhongshun's speculation about our family could be dispelled, it would also be possible. It can be regarded as helping our family to solve the disaster."

Mother Jia wiped Baoyu's tears with a sigh, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief herself, saying, "Probably, I'm tired of hiding."

I'm tired, I don't want to hide anymore, so I just let it go.

Tanchun twitched the corner of his mouth and shook his head: "I think, Uncle Jing should not be the kind of person who directly takes his own life and death to do such useless things."

Mother Jia was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly tears welled up in her eyelashes: "You mean, by respecting uncle, you are risking your life to advise our family that enough is enough?"

Tanchun nodded slowly.

Jia's family is dying.As long as a sober person who knows the inside story will judge like this.

If Jia Jing, a cultivator, didn't stay in Xuanzhen Temple, but traveled all over the world directly with the certificate, even if the four surnames were destroyed, what would it matter to him?

After all, he was still worried about the hundreds of people from the two families, so when King Zhongshun was about to touch him, he used this absurd death to warn his children and grandchildren: Don't do it, if you continue to do it, there will only be this fate!

It's just a pity that only Tanchun, a sensible person, saw this layer in the two houses.

Jia Mu was in tears.

Tanchun stood up, and knelt down in front of Jia Mu: "Old Ancestor, respect uncle's warning, it is not bad at all. If our family refuses to retreat, then there is only one way to unite and perish."

Mother Jia didn't bother to help her, and said in a painful voice: "It's not easy? The four surnames are related to each other, and they have long since become one; the four princes and the eight princes have been friends for a hundred years, how can we break it up? Even if we are willing, will they let us out? Take ten thousand steps back, even if we are determined to get out, what about your big sister in the palace? Just because our family put such a person in the harem, how could the emperor trust us?"

Tanchun bit his lip.

What she's going to say next is probably the most despised path for people in this world...

"Grandmother, if we include the eldest sister, our family can really do nothing, and, really, switch from the side of the former prince Yizhong to the side of the current emperor?"
