The eldest son of the red mansion

Jia Ke breathed a sigh of relief after coming to the tent. Today is really a difficult day.It's only now that it's settled down.Jia Ke relaxed for a while, and then asked Zheng Kai to come and listen.

In fact, Zheng Kai had been waiting for Jia Ke's order near the station, and now he rushed to Jia Ke as soon as he heard the order.

"My lord, the general has been waiting for a long time. I don't know what my lord has, so I will do it." Zheng Kai asked impatiently after he came to the lecture and saluted him.

Jia Ke weighed three or four copies of the imperial decree in his hand, then sent them to him and said, "This is the imperial decree written by the emperor just now. You send it to Prince Teng, the Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp, and several other envoys of Qin Wang Jiedu in the vicinity." Let them come to us immediately according to the imperial decree."

After Zheng Kai received the imperial decree, he said excitedly: "Sir, this time we are going to make things right? If we succeed, Your Excellency will definitely be successful."

Seeing his excitement, Jia Ke knew that if it succeeded this time, each of these people would benefit, so it was understandable for them to be happy.

But Jia Ke still wants to remind him, "Don't be too happy too soon, these few Jiedu envoys don't know what's going on. If they follow orders, it will be easy to handle. If they vote for the prince, or There's a big fight."

Zheng Kai reported to Jia Ke with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, we have already dispatched scouts. These envoys are standing still. It seems that they want to wait for the final outcome. As long as the emperor's imperial decree arrives, they will We already know the outcome."

"Since this is the case, don't delay. Send someone to send the imperial decree to them as soon as possible, so as to end this disaster early." Jia Ke urged Zheng Kai to act quickly, but Jia Ke still had another worry, that is, the glory of the capital. Will there be any tribulations for the government?

Zheng Kai didn't say anything more this time, he bowed to Jia Ke and went down to work.

Seeing that Zheng Kai had gone to work, Jia Ke turned around and returned to the tent, and reported to the emperor, "Long live the report, I have dispatched reliable people to send the decree to various places."

The emperor heard it and had already sent the decree, so he breathed a sigh of relief. With this relief, he felt dizzy and his body was exhausted.On the big seat in the center, I couldn't sit still.

Dai Quan, who was next to him, hurried over to help the emperor. Seeing this situation, Jia Ke immediately said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it will take some time to get a reply to the various orders. The emperor has been exhausted this day. Please help me." The emperor has a little breakfast, and then takes a rest. In the afternoon, the ministers from all walks of life will come to pay homage."

It made sense for the emperor to listen to what he said, and he really couldn't hold on to it recently, after all, he was already an elderly person.And after another night of intense stimulation and exhaustion.So he nodded, agreeing with Jia Ke's opinion.

Seeing that the emperor agreed, Jia Ke immediately ordered people to bring food and wine. These food and wine were not exquisite, but just the big fish and meat that Jia Ke usually used in the military camp.But the emperor ate with relish, and asked while eating: "Aiqing, where did you find this cook, and the cook is really good. I used to have no number of imperial cooks in the palace with his skills."

Jia Ke hurriedly replied: "My Majesty, this is just an ordinary cook, and he has no special skills. Presumably the Emperor has been working hard all the way, and feels delicious when he is hungry."

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help saying with emotion: "When you are hungry, eating chaff is as sweet as honey, and when you are full, eating honey is not sweet. The ancients did not deceive me. This is the first time I have such a feeling."

The emperor grew up with rich clothes and fine food, and never knew what it was like to be hungry. This time he tasted it.And now the emperor has another feeling, that is, he is starving like this just after a meal without food. Thinking about those people who work in the fields every day, but they are often not full, what kind of situation is this?Now he has a lot more compassion for those ordinary people.

After the emperor finished his meal, Jia Ke arranged him to rest in a large tent next to him, and guards were all around the big tent.At the same time, he found Dai Quan, handed him a token, and said to him, "Eunuch, this is an extraordinary period. This token can mobilize a thousand soldiers for the emperor's guard. I will give the token to him now." Father-in-law, if there is anything in the future, father-in-law can use tokens to mobilize these people to do things."

Dai Quan was worried about being alone at this time, and now holding the token that Jia Ke gave him, he couldn't help feeling that there are so many generals, only Jia Ke is really thinking about the emperor.So Dai Quan regarded Jia Ke as his own from then on, thinking that the two of them were close friends.But he didn't know that although Jia Ke gave him the token, the token was just a dead thing.As long as Jia Ke gave an order, the token would become useless.

Dai Quan took the token and returned to the emperor's tent gently, only to see that the emperor was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.It was also he who stood gently by the side, ready to serve the emperor at any time.

Who knew that the emperor suddenly opened his eyes at this time, looked at Dai Quan and asked, "What did you do when you went out just now?"

Dai Quan was taken aback by this, thinking that he was indeed a companion like a tiger, he quickly knelt down and said with a panicked expression: "Master Jia Kejia gave me a token just now, saying that I can Use this token to mobilize a thousand guards nearby, and the emperor can make up his own mind if he has any business to do in the future."

After hearing his words, the emperor's eyes turned red, as if some tears were about to roll down.At this time, the emperor was already extremely moved. The emperor stretched out his hand from under the quilt, and Dai Quan knew what it meant when he saw it.Quickly took out the token from his bosom and put it in the hands of the emperor.

The emperor kept stroking the token in his hand. Where is this token?This is simply Jia Ke's loyalty.The emperor returned the token to Dai Quan after reading it, and then ordered: "Give this token back to me after the matter is over, I want to keep it in mind."

The emperor now had an idea in his mind that this token should be placed in his hands first, and that one day Jia Ke made a mistake, and he would return the token to him, and it would be considered a reward for him to offset his death penalty.

Dai Quan took the token and said yes again and again, but he was in awe of Jia Ke in his heart. Now the emperor probably trusted Jia Ke more than anyone else, and even he might be behind.From this point of view, in the future, Jia Ke and the Rongguo Mansion should be treated with courtesy, and there should be no mistakes.Otherwise, when Jia Ke said something bad about himself in front of the emperor, the emperor might not be able to tolerate him.

Chapter 238 The army gathers

The emperor slept in the tent and didn't mention it, besides, the imperial decree sent by the emperor was conveyed to everyone.

They each reacted differently. Among them, Prince Teng, the governor of the Beijing Camp, was overjoyed after receiving the imperial decree. He was originally the emperor's confidant.This time the prince rebelled, and his position was in jeopardy.I am afraid that the position of Jingying Jiedushi will be replaced by the prince's confidants, and he may even lose his wealth and life.Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had sent several orders before, asking him to hand over his military power so as to protect his family.But Wang Ziteng knew that if he didn't have military power at this critical moment, he might be a fish on the chopping board.

So he ignored the order from the prince.He only told the prince that if there is the emperor's will, he will immediately hand over his military power. Before there is no emperor's will, he will refuse to obey the imperial edict.

Because most of the prince's troops have been dispatched to besiege the emperor, he can't spare any troops to deal with Prince Teng at the moment, so he can only let him wait until the emperor gives the decree of abdication, and then decree to deprive Prince Teng of Beijing. Those who wanted to come to the capital camp did not dare to disobey the position of the military governor. Even if Wang Ziteng had great abilities, he could only dismiss him from office.

Just when Wang Ziteng was troubled and at a loss in the camp, the emperor sent this imperial decree. What does it mean?It shows that the prince did not control the emperor, and the emperor had already run to his nephew Jia Ke's barracks.

This time, Wang Ziteng was very happy. The Wang family and the Jia family were originally married for generations, and both families were prosperous and both were prosperous.Then this time, relying on his 15 troops in the Beijing camp, plus Jia Ke's [-] elite.Even if the others all leaned to the prince's side, they were not the opponents of the two of them.

After Wang Ziteng received the imperial decree, he didn't hesitate any longer, and ordered 15 troops from the Beijing camp to approach Jia Ke's [-] elite soldiers in Xuanfu Town, intending to join forces with the two to protect the emperor's restoration.

As soon as Wang Ziteng's 15 troops acted, they immediately alarmed several other Jiedu envoys and general soldiers.

These five or six Jiedu envoys and general soldiers also received the emperor's imperial edict just now, and they are now hesitating.I don't know whether to obey the emperor's imperial decree or seek refuge with the prince to gain greater fame.At this time, seeing Wang Zipeng commanding the 15 Beijing battalion and approaching Jia Ke's barracks, it was obvious that he wanted to join forces with Jia Ke.In this way, the emperor gathered 20 horses, which already had an overwhelming advantage over the prince.If they don't join the emperor now, I'm afraid the emperor won't need to send troops to attack at that time. As long as the emperor sends an imperial decree, these generals under them will tie them up and send them to the emperor to ask for rewards.That being the case, what is there to hesitate?So the leading generals from all walks of life mobilized their troops and approached Jia Ke's barracks.

These six groups of soldiers add up to more than one hundred thousand, and they will join together and move towards Jia Ke in a mighty way.

Since there are those who are close to the emperor, there must be diehard loyalists of the prince. Among them are two troops, one is Huo Tu, Minister of the Ministry of War who controls the imperial army, and the other is Zhang Chi, the admiral of the Nine Gates.

Huo Tu had no way out, he killed King Jing and seized the military power of the imperial army, the emperor would never spare him, so he followed the prince wholeheartedly, without any chance of repenting.

And Zhang Chi, the admiral of the Nine Gates, had once received the favor of the prince, and he was quite loyal.I think that if I receive a drop of water from others, I will surely repay it with a spring.Therefore, he is loyal to the prince and has no second heart.Although he received the emperor's order this time, he immediately took the order and sent it to the prince, showing his loyalty to the prince and letting the prince prepare early.

The prince took a careful look at the emperor's decree, then sneered as if he didn't care at all, and said to Zhang Chi: "You don't have to worry, there are 5 people in the yamen commanded by the forbidden army and your infantry in our capital, plus If the [-] troops of the Liaodong Jiedushi are only defending the city, even a million troops will not be able to attack. I want to see what the father will do when the army has no food?"

After Zhang Chi listened to the prince's words, he thought about it in his heart, and it was indeed the truth.Since ancient times, food and grass have been fought in battles, but now all the food and grass in the capital are in the city.Each section is under the command, although they have some food and grass, but they can't last long, as long as they defend the city, I am afraid that these people will have to retreat in the end, and the emperor and the prince can only negotiate to resolve the matter in the end.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi felt relieved. Although he was loyal to the crown prince, he still cared about his own wealth and life. Now it seemed that neither side had the ability to destroy the other, so he felt relieved.

The prince was very calm at the time, as if everything was under control, after dismissing Zhang Chi.He showed his original weakness and slumped on the seat all of a sudden.

He had thought nothing would go wrong.All the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty have returned to Beijing to pay their allegiance to him, and he is only waiting for the emperor to die or surrender.He will be able to ascend the throne and become emperor. He has been waiting for this day for more than 30 years, but when he is about to succeed, he falls short.Thinking that the emperor commanded countless soldiers and surrounded the capital.And how many of his subordinates are really devoted to him. I am afraid that as long as the emperor gives an order outside the city, countless people will come to arrest him and ask the emperor for a reward.

After the prince sent Zhang Chi away.So he ordered people to set up a banquet, summoned all his concubines, and started to have fun. He knew that his time was running out.What awaits him is either poisoned alcohol or a lifelong ban.

As for defeating the emperor's men and then seizing the throne by himself, he is completely afraid to think about it now.The yamen was led by the remnants of the Liaodong Jiedu envoys, the forbidden soldiers who were pampered every day, and the infantry who knew how to bully the common people.It is simply a delusion to deal with the elite towns with hundreds of thousands of troops who have experienced many battles.It's not as good as if you have wine today and you are drunk today, the prince is completely desperate now.

At this time, Huo Tu, who was in charge of the imperial army, also sat down on the ground after knowing the prince's actions.He originally thought that the prince still had some ability, but he didn't expect it to be a silver-like wax gun head, and at the critical moment, the mud would not be able to support the wall.Even the prince gave up, one can imagine what the soldiers and generals under him thought.

Huo Tu thought for a while and felt that this couldn't be done, he had to survive.If the emperor invaded the capital, none of his nine clans would be able to survive.

So Huo Tu directly broke into the Prince's East Palace with his own soldiers.At this time, the guards of the prince's east palace were already in panic all day long, and no one could stop him.When Huo Tu entered the prince's palace.The prince was drinking and having fun with several beauties in his arms.

Huo Tu stepped forward and kicked the table in front of the prince over.This shocked the half-drunk prince.

"Huo Tu, what are you going to do? Do you want to kill the orphan?" the prince said angrily.

Looking at this incompetent prince now, Huo Tu was so angry that his heart ached, "I wonder what time it is, and I'm still drinking here. Does your Highness want to die without a place to die?"

After listening to his words, the crown prince immediately burst into tears, "Master Huo, what can you do now that Gu is told? If he had just sent someone to kill him up the mountain, how could the result be like this?"

Huo Tu now recalled how ruthless the prince was, and he wanted to kill his father directly, but he dissuaded him, thus saving the emperor's life, but he didn't expect such a consequence.

Huo Tu is also a little helpless in this situation now, he made a miscalculation just for the sake of reputation, but he did not expect to harm the prince and his whole family, he really regrets it.

As for Jia Ke's barracks, except for the two groups of troops who did not dare to come against the will, all other groups of troops gathered together in a mighty way. By the end of the evening, the vicinity of Xuanfu Town was already full of people calling for horsemen.Several 10 people marched out the joint camp for dozens of miles, which is really a huge momentum.

The emperor woke up in the afternoon, and Dai Quan, who was waiting next to him, saw the emperor woke up, and immediately went up to help the emperor change his clothes.The emperor was also served by him, and now he was the only servant next to him, and he was brought to the emperor to wash up.Ask Dai Quan next to him: "Where is Jia Aiqing now?"

"Returning to Lord Long Live, Mr. Jia has been standing outside the door, guarding the big tent for the emperor." Dai Quan truthfully reported to the emperor.
