The eldest son of the red mansion

What Jia Ke said shocked the emperor. The emperor didn't expect that Jia Ke was so young and good at martial arts, but he was so good at bragging.

Chapter 217 Middle Gate

The emperor's face was a bit ugly, and he said in disbelief: "Jia Aiqing, don't be so arrogant. You must know the bravery of the Tatars, we all have seen it."

Jia Ke saw that the emperor did not allow himself to stand up again, so he could only continue to kneel there, and reported to the superior: "Your Majesty, it is not that I am arrogant. A few years ago, I only brought 2 or 10,000 horses, and it was a big Defeated [-]+ Tatars. This time I commanded [-] soldiers, and there are so many reinforcements to support them. Now that the Tatars have robbed enough, the upper-class nobles are not very good, but the lower-class soldiers seem to have returned. Arrows. Therefore, they will definitely not fight to the death when fighting now, so we just ask us to be a little tougher, and we will definitely be able to defeat them, but the Tatars are fast, and I am afraid that they will escape in the end."

After hearing Jia Ke's analysis, the emperor suddenly became enlightened.At this time, looking at the Tatars under the city, they felt nothing to be afraid of.

The emperor is now quite satisfied with Jia Ke's answer. This Jia Ke is not only superior in martial arts, but also has a great strategy. The most important thing is that he is loyal to himself. Such a person can be regarded as a confidant.

Coupled with the fact that he believes that his confidant is in danger, the Tatars are no longer a concern.So feel better now.

Seeing that Jia Ke was still kneeling at this time, the emperor said to him, "Jia Aiqing, please get up quickly."

Jia Ke hurriedly thanked her again before she dared to stand up.

At this time, the emperor no longer felt helpless when the Tatars invaded, and he was full of confidence in repelling the Tatars this time.

The emperor then ordered to the Minister of War: "Today, Jia Aiqing led the troops to come all the way to work hard, you arrange accommodation for the army, and entertain the army with more wine and meat."

Huo Tu, Minister of the Ministry of War, quickly replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I have arranged for the army to be stationed, and there will be enough wine and meat tonight to clean up the army."

The emperor saw that the arrangements had been made by the Minister of the Ministry of War, so he turned around and said to Jia Ke, "Aiqing has been at the border all these years, and rarely reunites with her family. Today, when I return to Beijing, I can go home and see my parents and relatives."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Since these years at the border, I have really missed my family. It is a great honor to have the Emperor's grace." Jia Ke expressed gratitude.

After the emperor arranged these things, he sent people to drive back to the palace. Immediately, they all came out together, with golden melons, axes and axes lined up on both sides, and the palace eunuchs guided them back and forth.What a royal majesty.

Jia Ke and all the ministers sent them to the bottom of the city tower, knelt on the ground, and waited until the emperor's luanjia disappeared.Only then did they go away.

At this time Wang Ziteng came to Jia Ke's side and said to him: "Nephew, we need to walk around more this time when we come back, otherwise we will be relatives and we will be separated."

Wang Ziteng saw that Jia Ke was appreciated by the emperor, and he had to rely on Jia Ke's prestige after he was in court, so he came over to greet him politely.

"What uncle said is very true. In the future, our two houses should move around more and support each other in court." Since Prince Teng expressed his kindness, Jia Ke followed suit. After all, the two houses are natural allies.

Wang Ziteng was very satisfied with Jia Ke's answer. If they joined forces with Jia Ke, their voice in the court would be even more important.And Wang Ziteng also felt that half of the responsibilities on his shoulders had been relieved. In the past, he was the only one supporting the four major families in Jinling.Although he was very satisfied with leading the four major families, the responsibilities involved made him feel a little out of breath.

After all, the four major families in Jinling only know how to enjoy themselves, although there is no one who can afford to help him.This made him feel very bleak about the future of the four major families.

In fact, Wang Ziteng still has a layer of worries now, and now it is said that it is the four major families.In fact, the three families of Jia, Wang and Xue had close contacts, and the historian and the other three families had gone far away now, if it wasn't for the old lady of Rongguo Mansion, she was still the aunt of the two masters of the historian.Historians have become strangers to the other three.

It's all right now, Jia Ke from Rongguo Mansion unexpectedly rose up and shared half of the responsibilities for him, so he can take a good breath.This also allowed him to see the hope that the four major families would continue to prosper.In this way, even if he passed away, Jia Ke could continue to support the four major families for decades.

Since Jia Ke had to arrange for the troops to be stationed, he bid farewell to Wang Ziteng first.

Jia Ke followed a member of the military department to a military camp in the city.This place has been cleaned up long ago, and there are chefs cutting large pieces of meat, and there are altars of fine wine beside them.It seems that the capital is still very abundant in supplies.

But he didn't know that the grain depot in the capital was already empty.The emperor was so angry that he copied several corrupt officials and collected all the grain in all the grain shops in the capital, so that there was no shortage of grain in the capital for the time being.Because several grain merchants were regarded as Tatar spies by the emperor because of their private storage of grain, and they were executed at Caishikou.

As a result, not only the grain depots in the capital were completely filled, but there was also a lot of prosperity.This made the emperor increasingly suspicious of officials at all levels in charge of the household department.He also began to take care of his sons.

Jia Ke first arranged for the cavalry under his command to stay there, then called Zheng Kai over, and told him, "I will leave this camp to you for the time being. After a while, all the soldiers will drink and eat. You have to tell them that they can eat more meat and drink more." Drink less. After all, there are Tatars outside the city now, don’t lose the big because of small things, and when the Tatars are gone, I will drink with everyone.”

Zheng Kai knew that Jia Ke was going home to visit. Jia Ke had been at the border for five or six years. Although there were letters, they were hundreds of miles away and the border was an important place.Therefore, except for important matters, there is generally little communication.So he hurriedly said to Jia Ke: "Your Majesty should not worry about these things. It's getting late now. Your Excellency should hurry back to the house for a reunion. Don't keep your lord waiting."

At this time, Jia Ke was also a little bit eager to return to her heart, so she was not polite to him.So I said goodbye to Zheng Kai, and when I came to the gate of Daying, I suddenly saw a head looking in furtively.

Jia Ke took a closer look and it turned out to be one of Jia Zheng's followers. The man was overjoyed when he saw Jia Ke. He had already arrived at the gate of the camp just now, but the soldiers guarding the gate did not let him in, so he had no choice but to stay in the camp. At the gate of the camp, I poked my head and looked in. Seeing Jia Ke coming out, he hurriedly shouted, "Master, I am the master's personal entourage. Do you remember me?"

Jia Ke waved to the soldiers guarding the gate of the camp, and the soldiers let this relative come in, and hurried to Jia Ke's side, and saluted Jia Ke as soon as they met, and a series of auspicious words came out of their mouths.

All Jia Ke met at the border were honest men, and when he returned to the capital, he also felt a little cordial when he met the clever boy at home again.

After the entourage finished saying the auspicious words that they don't need money, they said to Jia Ke: "The master knows that the master is going back to Beijing, so he specially asked me to welcome him. I don't want the guards outside the barracks to delay me by not letting me in."

"I know all these things, since there is nothing to do, let's go back." Jia Ke has long been accustomed to these close complaints, and didn't answer his words, but took the reins from the cavalry and got on the horse , Go to Jia's mansion.

Besides, Jia Ke came to Rongning Street with his soldiers and his entourage, but found that this place was completely different from when he left. A big house was built next to Rongguo Mansion, and the scale of this house was not under Rongguo Mansion.

The current Rongguo Mansion is between Ningguo Mansion and the newly built mansion, as if two door gods are guarding Rongguo Mansion.It seemed that the Rongguo Mansion was even more majestic.

And Ningrong Street is now more lively than before, and there is a constant flow of small businesses, and it has not declined in the slightest because of the Tatars outside the city.

When Jia Ke passed by the house, he looked at the plaque at the gate, and saw a few large characters on the plaque——Decree to build Wuyanghou's Mansion.

Seeing these words, Jia Ke felt a burst of satisfaction in his heart. This is the mansion built by the emperor for him.He is now inseparable from the Rongguo Mansion.Although he is still Jia Zheng's son, he is also the master of Wuyanghou Mansion.From now on, Wuyanghou Mansion and Rongguo Mansion's finances will be separated. After all, the titles of the two places cannot be confused.This is of great benefit to Jia Ke, as long as he donates some money to the Rongguo Mansion every year, he can decide other matters by himself.

Jia Ke stayed at the gate of Wuyanghou Mansion for a while, but went in the direction of Rongguo Mansion without entering.After all, it is the rule of feudal ethics to meet parents first after returning from a long journey.

When Jia Ke came to Rongguo Mansion, he saw the middle door of Rongguo Mansion was wide open, and Lin Zhixiao led a dozen servants waiting at the door.

Seeing this situation, Jia Ke felt a little displeasure in his heart. No matter what, he is now the Jiedushi of Wuyang Houxuanfu Town. Now that he returns to Jia's Mansion, no matter what, he should send one or two masters to welcome him. he.

Moreover, Jia Lian and Jia Zhu, as his younger brothers, should also come to greet him in person.It seems that these two people still think that they are descendants, and they still have a little pride in their hearts, and they refuse to let go of their identities.

Jia Ke is also a little disappointed with Jia Lian now, it's fine if Jia Zhu doesn't come to greet her. Before he left, he and Jia Lian had a very good relationship. It seems that they haven't seen each other for a few years, and their relationship has faded.

As soon as Lin Zhixiao saw Jia Ke, he hurried forward to salute, "Lin Zhixiao greeted the master."

Jia Ke got off the horse, and the soldiers beside him took the reins and led the fire dragon horse aside.

Jia Ke came to Lin Zhixiao's side and supported him with both hands, "Steward Lin, there is no need to be so polite. We have been friends for many years. You don't need to see these superfluous courtesy."

After hearing Jia Ke's words, Lin Zhixiao hurried to his feet. Lin Zhixiao now felt more and more awe of Jia Ke, because Jia Ke was no longer just the uncle of Rongguo Mansion, he was also the master of Wuyang Hou Mansion next door.He is already a leader in the Jia clan, and the Jia clan will depend on him for survival from now on.Therefore, although he and Jia Ke had already decided on the status of master and servant, they did not dare to show any disrespect.

Jia Ke Na Lin Zhixiao got up and asked, "Is Father okay?"

"Please don't worry, master, everything is fine these days, master, and there is no illness."

"Where is the father? I'll go to see you right away." Jia Ke asked immediately.

"My master has been waiting for my uncle at Mengpozhai for a long time. Seeing that my uncle has not come back, I ordered me to meet him at the door." Lin Zhixiao said there respectfully.

"Did a distinguished guest come to the house? Why is the middle door wide open?" Jia Ke knew that the middle door of Rongguo Mansion was generally closed, unless a dignitary came to the door or an imperial edict came.

"I don't know anything about the uncle. This is what the old lady ordered. Her old man said that the uncle is now in a different status. This is the return from an expedition. Rongguo Mansion should open the middle door and let the uncle enter through the middle door. This is also the case left by the two Rong Guogongs." The rules." Lin Zhixiao and You Rongyan replied, Lin Zhixiao now completely regards himself as Jia Ke's person, although he is the housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, he actually knows in his heart, who has a bright future, who is yesterday's dusk, If you don't stand in line now, it will be too late later.

Chapter 218

No wonder Lin Zhixiao, as the butler of Jia's mansion, has a heart like Wuyang Hou's mansion.In fact, the Rongguo Mansion has already sunk into the west. If Jia Ke hadn't made some achievements outside these years, he might have started to live without money.

Just because Jia Ke is now the Jiedu envoy of a town, and was named Marquis of Wuyang by the emperor.That's why Rongguo Mansion gradually had foreign officials come to offer ice tributes and carbon tributes, so that Rongguo Mansion could barely maintain a balance of income.

But just like this, among the descendants of the Rongguo Mansion, there is also a scene of backwardness and no one. Although Jia Zhu among these people is working hard to get fame, his body is no longer strong enough to support him to fulfill his wish.

But the others only know how to eat, drink, have fun, enjoy the glory and wealth, and never worry about the future of the Jia family, let alone work hard.Therefore, anyone with a certain vision knows that the Jia family has declined, and now it is all supported by Jia Ke.
