Chapter 141 Supporting Orthodoxy
Jia Jing knew what Emperor Hongde meant, and also understood what the regrets of the Supreme Emperor Yang Bing were.
But at this time, these things are not suitable for him to speak.
So, Jia Jing just looked at Emperor Hongde quietly and listened to Emperor Hongde continue to talk.
Just be a quiet listener.
"The things that happened back then have always been an unsolvable knot in the heart of the Supreme Emperor!
The Supreme Emperor worked hard to train the prince for decades. The crown prince, whom he raised since childhood, was sent away by his own glass of poisoned wine. After the anger of rebellion faded, the Supreme Emperor's heart was full of regrets...
The Supreme Emperor still cannot forgive his actions when he sent his elder brother away when he was angry!
Especially in the past two years, as the Supreme Emperor's health has deteriorated, he has gradually become indifferent to the power of life and death, and his father-son relationship with his elder brother has surged in his heart again.
In this way, I feel even more regretful of my unwillingness to give up the throne and delegate power...
However, because it was not led by the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Emperor chose to forget how many brothers, children and nephews had they killed in that dark night..."
Emperor Hongde's voice is Gujing Wubo, as if he is talking about a stranger, not his biological father.
After hearing Emperor Hongde's words, Jia Jing couldn't help but ask: "From Your Majesty's opinion, isn't the Supreme Emperor having a new idea recently?"
"Recently?" Emperor Hongde smiled self-deprecatingly, "The Supreme Emperor has not only had ideas recently!"
As he said that, Emperor Hongde smiled at Jia Jing, "I have to thank you for this matter. It is because you were assassinated on the way to Tiekan Temple that I decided to investigate the matter thoroughly!
But when I finally found out, I found that many clues pointed to Prince Zhongshun's mansion!
After all, it is a deep brotherly love!
They have always been in contact, and the fifteen red cannons and four bed crossbows were all from the warehouse of the Ministry of Works!
In order to transport these cannons and crossbows out of the city, Prince Zhongshun even took advantage of the excuse of going to the market to buy small actors in the palace to help the group of thieves transport the cannons out of Shenjing!
I originally wanted to report to the Supreme Emperor and then send Prince Zhongshun to the clan's mansion to be detained, but the Supreme Emperor rejected the matter and said it was a misunderstanding, and said why did I want me to treat my nephew well..."
In the end, Emperor Hongde was already out of his anger, and even subconsciously used "I" instead of the previous "I" while speaking.
Hearing this, Jia Jing frowned, "Your Majesty meant that the Supreme Emperor had always known the whereabouts of the deposed prince, and this time he knew that they were mobilizing the red cannons out of the city to deal with me. Ke Chen has always been loyal to the country, so why did the Supreme Emperor do this?"
"The Supreme Emperor must have known about their mobilization of the Red Barbarian Cannons, but I am not sure about the purpose!" Emperor Hongde said objectively.
Then, Emperor Hongde suddenly revealed a shocking secret!
"The hidden place in the Dragon Shou Palace, the Supreme Emperor has always hid a decree left by the throne! But it was not me who succeeded the throne, but Prince Zhongshun!"
As soon as these words came out, Jia Jing was directly suppressed.
But Emperor Hongde was still unwilling to finish the calculation. He held the idea of not being shocking and never ended, and continued: "Yesterday, my eyeliner at the Dragon Shou Palace told me that the imperial edict was gone!
It happened to be yesterday that the Supreme Emperor ordered Dai Quan to go to the Zhongshun Palace!"
One news after another was thrown to Jia Jing's head by Emperor Hongde.
The imperial edict sent to Prince Zhongshun disappeared yesterday, but Dai Quan, who was beside the Supreme Emperor, went to Prince Zhongshun's mansion yesterday under the order of the Supreme Emperor...
The meaning represented by this made Jia Jing shudder.
Jia Jing asked, "Your Majesty is diligent in his work and loves the people and works hard to govern. He can be called a kind and wise ruler. Why does the Supreme Emperor want to do this?"
"I guess, one is because of guilt and regret for my elder brother," Emperor Hongde sighed, "The other, maybe it is because there is no prince under me yet!"
Upon hearing this, Jia Jing comforted: "Your Majesty is only thirty-two this year, and it is the time to be young and strong. Besides, there are three princesses who are happy, so the prince must not be far away."
Then, Jia Jing said to Emperor Hongde in a firm tone: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, you are a kind king and deeply loved by all officials. If the Supreme Emperor insists on his own, I will definitely ensure that Your Majesty is orthodox!
Prince Zhongshun cannot be an emperor!
The Great Zhou Empire cannot be in chaos!”
A decisive tone rang in the study room.
Hearing Jia Jing's words, Emperor Hongde knew that he had come today and his final goal had been achieved. Immediately, Emperor Hongde was deeply moved, and he couldn't help but smile a little more:
"Jia Jing, you did not disappoint me!
I also promise you that as long as you and your descendants do not cooperate with each other, I and my descendants will protect your family and their descendants forever!
If you disobey this, you will be angry with both man and god and abandoned by your ancestors!”
For an emperor, the oath abandoned by his ancestors was already extremely serious when he made a proclaim "I".
Moreover, it was beyond Jia Jing's expectation that Emperor Hongde could make such a promise.
So, Jia Jing was naturally extremely "touched". He immediately bowed to thank the courtesy and said, "If you treat your ministers as your brothers and sisters, then you will regard your ministers as your heart! Now I have only done some of my duty, but Your Majesty treats you so well..."
Maybe he understood the words of Jia Jing's monarch and ministers, or maybe he didn't care. Emperor Hongde's expression remained unchanged, and he still smiled and said, "Jia Jing, don't worry, you don't let me down, I will not let you down!"

North of the Seizure.
It's another cold winter with snow all over the sky.
This winter, ordinary people from the Tatar tribes had a particularly difficult time.
In previous years, we could rely on powerful cavalry to harass the borders of the Great Zhou from time to time and grab some supplies to subsidize our lives.
But this year, not only did their own army lose and lose, but even the three Guards of Urianha who surrendered last year were recaptured by the Great Zhou. To sum up, it is just one sentence:
I lost my wife and my army!
At the beginning of the year, the food and grass collected from many Tatar civilians because they had to send troops to the Great Zhou Dynasty became the most direct fuse that led to the current miserable situation of Tatar civilians.
Seeing that under his own leadership, the Tatar tribes gradually transitioned from having no worries about food and clothing to having no food to a state of inability to feed, Moron's heart was also mixed.
The continuous setbacks, coupled with the miserable situation of the people under the rule of the people, made the young Khan of the Mongol Yuan grow up and mature in an instant...
...
"I'm not a good leader! I'm not a competent Khan!"
In the golden tent, Moron said this.
Hearing Moron's words, the tent was silent, and the leaders of the respective tribes sat there with expressionless faces, looking at their noses and mouths without saying a word.
Beside Moron, the Tatar Master Maurika also looked at him quietly, waiting for his next sentence.
"I want to send the envoy to the Great Zhou Dynasty and submit to the surrender!"
As soon as Moron said something, the golden tent was in an uproar...
Chapter completed!
