Chapter 16: Emperor Jiajing Has Foresight
"Haha! Ning'er and the consort are so affectionate! It really saves me a lot of worry!"
Just when Zhengyao was complaining in his heart and secretly lamenting his miscalculation, he saw Jiajing appear in Qianqing Palace without making a sound.
A loud voice sounded, and Ning An, who was intoxicated in Zhengyao's massage, woke up instantly and opened his eyes instantly.
"Father!"
Zhengyao and Ning'an shouted in unison, both of them seemed a little subconscious.
"Okay, you don't have to salute. I don't have anything to do here. I just want to see Ning'er. I don't want Zhengyao to be here, and he also massages Ning'an so carefully. It seems that Zhengyao loves Ning'er very much. Son!"
Jiajing said with a sweet smile, the more he looks at Zhengyao, the more he likes him.
The quality of a man does not depend on whether he can make great achievements, whether he is rich, or whether he is admired by thousands of people, but it depends on his thoughts about women, especially his thoughts about his significant other.
Obviously, in ancient feudal society, in an era where men were superior to women, it was absolutely rare to see a man willing to serve a woman tea and water, wash her face and feet, and rub her back and massage her back.
However, Zhengyao in front of him was actually massaging Ning'an. Just as Jiajing said, it was enough to show how much Zhengyao loved Ning'an.
"Father..."
After all, she still felt a little shy, and Ning An lowered her head subconsciously, not daring to look at Jiajing or even Zhengyao.
A girl is a girl after all, no matter how strong or powerful she is, she will still be reserved when facing emotional problems, and she will still feel shy and embarrassed.
"What? Is what I said wrong?"
As he said that, Jiajing couldn't help but look at Zhengyao beside him, blinking with interest.
"Father, you know how to make fun of Ning'er. Ning'er will ignore you from now on..."
"Haha, my precious princess has started to lose her temper again, haha, it seems that only you, Zhengyao, can stand her!"
Jiajing laughed out loud again. Maybe parents like to say something similar to this at some point to have fun. It is indeed an exciting thing to watch their daughter being embarrassed.
"My father is serious! The princess is kind-hearted and straightforward. Zhengyao is lucky enough to be able to marry her. It's not too late to be happy! In fact, all this is thanks to my father's success!"
Zhengyao also felt a little embarrassed, but what Zhengyao said at this moment was true.
"I know how hard you are, Zhengyao. This girl Ning'er probably hasn't woken up yet!"
"Father..."
Ning An was not happy. How could her father say these things in front of her husband? Wasn't this deliberately trying to embarrass her?
"Haha! That's all. I won't tease you anymore! It just so happens that Zhengyao is here. I still have a few words to tell you, Zhengyao."
As he said that, Jiajing suddenly stopped smiling and became serious. He seemed like a different person.
It has to be said that being with a king is like being with a tiger. The emperor can change his face faster than his face.
Seeing that Jiajing's expression had changed, and instead of becoming heavier, and his eyes showed a solemn look, Zhengyao immediately said: "Please give me your instructions, Zhengyao, I am all ears!"
"Yes, yes! Father, if you have any questions, just tell me directly. My consort and I will listen carefully!"
Ning An immediately looked at Jiajing with a cute look on her face and said, she used to look embarrassed before. She was very shy and embarrassed, but now she became active again.
"Ahem!" Jiajing coughed, and then said to Ning An: "Ning'er, it's better that you don't need to interfere with national affairs. You just have a good rest, and Zheng Yao can discuss it with me!"
After saying that, Jiajing gave Ning An another affirmative look.
However, Ning An has always been a very curious person. If she were to ignore it so easily, it would not be her style.
So after Jiajing finished speaking, Ning'an gave him a cold look, as if he didn't hear what Jiajing said, but it made Jiajing feel speechless and helpless.
It seems that my precious daughter has been spoiled by me. Now if she becomes willful, she can't control her.
"Alright princess, your father is right. National affairs should be handled by men like us. Just rest here obediently and be responsible for giving birth to a fat son for your husband!"
Zhengyao said with a smile on his face, and at the same time he showed an expression that said, "I have the final say in the house." Seeing that Ning'an still seemed dissatisfied, Zhengyao leaned into Ning'an's ear again and whispered: " Don’t worry, I’ll tell you everything I know when my father leaves later, isn’t that okay?”
"You said that?"
"Of course I said it! After all, I am also a man and the head of the family. Don't you still want to listen to me?"
No matter what, you can't destroy your prestige in front of others! Even if the other person is the emperor or Ning'an's father. But sometimes, a man just has to be stronger in order to win the respect and appreciation of other men.
"Okay! Then I'm going into the inner room!"
Ning An now showed a well-behaved and obedient look, and then did not forget to salute Jiajing.
Seeing that Ning'an had returned to the inner room, Jiajing sat directly at the table. At this moment, Zhengyao realized that he had not poured water for Jiajing. So Zhengyao personally went to bring the purple clay pot and brewed it for Jiajing. Pot of tea.
"Haha, I am a princess. It seems that only you, Zhengyao, can cure me! Okay, very good! When you should cherish your wife, you should cherish her. When you need to be strong in front of women, you need to be stronger. Zhengyao Yao, you did a great job in this, I feel inferior to you!"
After saying that, Jiajing couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment.
"Uh, father..."
"Haha, forget it, let's not mention this! I just want to give Zhengyao a few words this time. Zhengyao just listen."
"Yes, please give me instructions from my father!"
The emperor's words are imperial edicts, and the emperor's instructions are instructions. There is no doubt about it.
But seeing Zhengyao looking so serious, Jiajing couldn't help but smile and said: "Zhengyao, you don't have to be like this, sit down and talk. In fact, I have other intentions in sending you to Mongolia this time."
"Other intentions?"
After sitting down, the first thing he heard was this sentence, which made Zhengyao feel startled: What is the purpose of Jiajing?
"That's right, I sent you to Mongolia for three reasons: first, at the request of Mongolia, whoever can produce the couplet will go there in person; second, Zhengyao, you are extremely smart, and there are many people in the court. Major and important cases were also solved by you. I believe you will find a way to deal with it when you go to Mongolia, and maybe you can also resolve the conflict with Mongolia; thirdly, it is also the most important."
"The most important thing? What is that?"
Zhengyao also knew about the first two, and Jiajing had mentioned them before when he was in the imperial chamber.
But now something else appeared, which made Zhengyao feel confused. What else is the most important?
Jiajing pondered for a moment, his expression became solemn again, and he said seriously: "Actually, I suspect that someone in the court is secretly colluding with Mongolia, and this person is probably Yan Song. But I have no choice but to have no evidence, and there is nothing I can do against him.
This time, Zhengyao, you go to Mongolia. If possible, you'd better sneak into Mongolia. If necessary, you can use all means. You must find out the evidence of collusion with the Mongols to revitalize the court!"
"call--"
Hearing this, Zhengyao couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Shock, tremor, or surprise, etc., etc., it seems that the above words cannot be used to describe Zhengyao's mood at this moment.
How should I put it? It was not surprising that Zhengyao, Liu Yan, Yuan Haiyun and others discussed these matters in Yanyu Tower before, but now, it is really surprising to hear these words from Jiajing's mouth.
Jiajing actually doubted Yan Song? Didn't it mean that Jiajing was a fatuous and incompetent emperor? Didn't it mean that he was bewitched by Yan Song and acted like a puppet emperor?
But. But what about the current Jiajing is like this? What about it shows his incompetence and stupidity?
Listening to what Jiajing said, I felt even more that Jiajing was an orderly person who did things in an orderly manner. He had plans, arrangements, ideas, and strategies. However, on the surface, he fooled everyone!
"Father..."
Zhengyao didn't know what to do for a moment. Jiajing's performance was so unexpected.
"What? Is there any difficulty here?"
Jiajing couldn't help but look at Zhengyao in confusion and said, it seemed that in his impression, Zhengyao had never said a word "no" in front of him, nor had he shown any embarrassment.
But now, Zhengyao has this expression. Why?
"No, no, no, that's not what Zhengyao meant. My father misunderstood! It's just that Zhengyao was surprised. He didn't expect that my father also suspected Yan Song."
Zhengyao was obviously a little excited, but it seemed that talking to Jiajing at this moment was more appropriate.
"Haha! Zhengyao, you are right to think so! Everyone has always thought that I am a fatuous and incompetent emperor who has never been indifferent to political affairs. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this, just because I was too young and too confused in those years before.
.But now I am very clear-headed and I understand very well.
So many things happened in the court, and they were all groundless. Yan Song relied on his power in the court and the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops, so I couldn't do anything to him, so I had to pretend that I didn't know anything.
However, I have already made arrangements and plans. This trip to Mongolia, as long as Zheng Yao handles it carefully, he will definitely be able to find some evidence. Even if Yan Song has a group of forces, even if he holds military power, once I take him
If the evidence of his crime is announced to the world, his followers will not dare to have any objections. The Yan Song Group can then fall apart and restore peace to the court!"
Unexpectedly, Jiajing actually had such a plan, and he had planned it for a long time. Even if it was not far-sighted, it was still considered carefully, and it had to make Zhengyao look at him differently.
For this reason, Zhengyao also nodded and said: "Yes! What the father said makes sense! Then everything is on Zhengyao. Zhengyao will definitely not be as good as his mission and complete the task!"
"But Zhengyao must be careful. Since there are people in the court colluding with Mongolia, I believe Mongolia is also on guard against you. This trip to Mongolia must be full of dangers. Zhengyao must be careful. Remember, if necessary,
You can use all means, I will understand!"
Jiajing said with concern. At this moment, Jiajing seemed to have regarded Zhengyao as his own son. His eyes were so misty and his expression was so amiable.
And Qi Na could use all means. Jiajing was so tough and seemed to support Zheng Yao unconditionally.
"Thank you very much for your father's holy teachings. Zheng Yao will definitely keep them in mind!"
"Also, you must not tell Ning'er these things, so as not to worry her."
"Well, Zhengyao understands!"..)
