The eldest son of the red mansion

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help feeling distressed. This Jia Ke had been fighting with him all the time, leading them out of the Liaodong Jiedushi's camp, and then leading them back to the camp for dozens of miles. After that, he rested himself, but he didn't dare to be sloppy, and stood outside to guard him. He was really loyal, and he was really lucky to have such a loyal minister.

The emperor immediately ordered Jia Ke to come in and answer, and Dai Quan immediately went out of the tent to convey the emperor's meaning to Jia Ke.

Soon Dai Quan and Jia Ke entered the tent, and as soon as Jia Ke entered the big tent, he knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to the emperor.Sitting on the bed in the tent, the emperor quickly ordered Dai Quan who was next to him, "Get Jia Aiqing up quickly."

Dai Quan hurried forward to help Jia Ke, and seeing that it was the emperor's order, Jia Ke stood up accordingly.

Although the emperor is still wearing casual clothes, he has completely restored his previous majestic appearance. The emperor stroked his beard and asked Jia Ke: "The orders I issued have been passed to the generals of the towns? How many generals are there?" Respect the decree, how many towns and generals disobeyed the order?"

"Long live the report, Prince Teng, the envoy of the Jingying Festival, received the imperial decree and set up camp, and came to camp nearby to wait for the emperor's orders." Jia Ke first put Prince Teng out, after all, we are relatives and should help each other .

When the emperor heard that Wang Ziteng was the first to arrive, he nodded happily and said, "I didn't misunderstand him. He still thinks of me in times of crisis."

Jia Ke continued: "After Lord Wang arrived, Wang Zuo, the governor of Taiyuan, Chun Yuhua, the governor of Baoding, Huangling, the governor of Qingzhou, Guo Min, the commander of Laizhou, Lin Feng, the commander of Shandong, and Lu Lu, the commander of Henan, Bin. The six towns were merged into one place, and they also came nearby to wait for the emperor to dispatch."

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help showing a sneer, and said without avoiding Jia Ke: "These people probably saw that you and Wang Ziteng joined forces, and they had no chance of winning even if they took refuge in the prince, so they came to wait for my orders. It's just a bunch of weeds. They are still needed now, and I will take care of them slowly after I return to Luan."

Jia Ke kept silent at this time, this was not something that Jia Ke could say, even though the emperor regarded him as his confidant now, he would never say anything behind his back.But he must have at least the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, without any arrogance or domineering, otherwise the emperor's trust will not last long.

Dai Quan, who was next to him, saw that Jia Ke was so knowledgeable about current affairs, he couldn't help admiring him. He had been intriguing since he was a child in the palace, but when Jia Ke was as discerning, he was already in his 30s, and this Jia Ke was not yet [-]. At an early age, one understands what can and cannot be done. It seems that at least when the emperor is around, the grace will not decline.

After the emperor finished venting his anger, Jia Ke asked cautiously: "Your Majesty's generals are waiting outside the tent, will the Emperor see them?"

Chapter 239

When the emperor heard Jia Ke asking him whether to summon the generals, he pondered for a while and thought it would be better to meet them, as it would calm their minds once he came to let them meet him.Second, it can deter them and prevent them from making any small moves.

So the emperor decreed: "Let them wait in the big tent, and I will go to the big tent to meet them after a while."

Jia Ke immediately received the decree, and then went out to convey the emperor's decree.

Sitting in the tent, the emperor pondered again.I felt that there was nothing missing, and then I got up.As a result, as soon as I stood up, I felt dizzy and my body was shaky.This phenomenon has appeared frequently recently. The imperial physician said that it was due to overwork and asked the emperor to rest more.The emperor didn't pay attention to it at first, but now this time the attack was particularly severe, his eyes were already dark, and he felt like he couldn't see anything.

Dai Quan who was next to him hurried forward to help the emperor and let him sit down again.The emperor sat on the bed again and rested for a while before he recovered.Then he stared at Dai Quan and said: "This matter is not allowed to spread, let me know that there is a little rumor outside, and I want your head."

"Long live Lord, don't worry, this servant is so courageous that he doesn't dare to gossip about the emperor outside." Dai Quan hurriedly assured the emperor that since ancient times, any discomfort in the emperor's body may cause turmoil in the court, not to mention Now that the crown prince raised his troops to rebel, if the emperor's health had problems, then maybe the crown prince would be able to ascend the throne justifiably.

The emperor slowed down for a while and felt that nothing was wrong, so he stood up again and walked out. Dai Quan worriedly followed behind, for fear that the emperor would have any accidents.

As soon as the emperor came out of the big tent, the soldiers standing outside the door knelt and kowtowed to him together. These people were all transferred by Jia Ke to protect the safety of the emperor. Dai Quan was even given the token to transfer troops. Now these people are It is equivalent to the personal bodyguard of the emperor.

These soldiers are all carefully selected, with high martial arts skills and decent looks.Some crooked people like Jia Ke have already been kicked out, and these people have been the face of the emperor for quite a while.If it looks too ugly, the emperor's face will not look good.

Dai Quan called out more than [-] of them with the token, and then surrounded the emperor together and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

As soon as the emperor entered the big tent of the Chinese army, six or seven generals in the big tent knelt down together and pleaded guilty to the emperor.After all, they didn't go out to stop the prince's rebellion immediately, so in the eyes of the emperor, they had some ulterior motives.

The emperor didn't look at them who were kneeling on the ground, and went directly into the big tent of the Chinese army and sat on the big chair in the center.After sitting firmly, he said to the people below: "Get up, I will spare you this time. After all, you are still a little loyal. As soon as you see the imperial decree, come to serve the king immediately. It can be regarded as making up for it."

The generals who were kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, but even though they stood up, they didn't dare to take a breath, fearing that something might be wrong and annoy the emperor.

The emperor sat on it as stable as Mount Tai, and asked slowly: "How are the soldiers and horses in Liaodong now?"

Wang Ziteng knew these things relatively well, since he joined forces with Jia Ke yesterday.The two discussed the current situation and how to deal with it during the account settlement.

Wang Ziteng and Jia Ke were very optimistic about their actions, thinking that the emperor was fine.Then the next step is how to defeat the prince's team.

Jia Ke knew the truth of knowing yourself and the enemy, and never ending a hundred battles, so he discussed with Wang Ziteng that they should send scouts to explore around the capital, and they must find out the general direction of action of the prince's men and horses.

As the envoy of the Jingying Jiedu, Wang Ziteng has controlled the three battalions for many years and is familiar with the geographical terrain near the capital.So the scout horse he sent was the main force this time.

Wang Ziteng almost sent out all the cavalry under his command. These people may not have much ability to fight, but they are still capable of listening to news and hiding.

It didn't take long for Wang Ziteng to find out all the movements of the prince's men and horses, and all this information was put on Wang Ziteng's desk.

Just before the emperor summoned, Jia Ke and Wang Ziteng carefully analyzed the situation, and finally thought that the prince might have to make a final fight, because he had already transferred all the troops to the capital, and this was to fight with the emperor. Fight to the death in the capital.

Now that the emperor is asking from above, Wang Ziteng is the emperor's confidant, so it is natural for him to answer at this time, "His Majesty, all the troops of the Liaodong Jiedu Envoy have been withdrawn to the capital, and Huo Tu, Minister of the Ministry of War, has also brought the imperial army. After entering the capital, the admiral of the Nine Gates led the infantry to lead the army of the Yamen, and also defended on the top of the city. These three troops have a total of more than 15 troops, and now they are all defending on the walls of the capital."

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help gnashing his teeth, and roared loudly: "I treat these rebellious officials and thieves very well. I didn't expect that these people would dare to seek to usurp the throne. When the capital is about to be captured, they will be smashed into pieces, and the whole family will be destroyed." Copy and cut."

When the people below heard the emperor's roar, they didn't dare to cheer up. They were really afraid that the emperor would vent his anger on them.

The emperor found out, and then said to the generals: "Rest well for the night today, and attack the capital immediately at dawn tomorrow. I don't want to wait a day."

Baoding Jiedu Envoy Chunyu Hua cupped his hands in the class at this time and said: "My minister Baoding Jiedu Envoy Chunyu Hua has his roots."

The emperor heard it, glanced at him, and said, "Speak up if you have anything to say."

Chunyuhua just came out of the squad and clasped his fists in the middle of the battle and said: "Long live, we are now supplied with food and grass for our tens of thousands of horses and horses. Now the food and grass in the camp can last for seven days at most. If we can't break the city within seven days , I’m afraid we are about to fall into a desperate situation. Please hurry up and raise food and grass from all over the place, otherwise we won’t be able to last.”

The emperor frowned when he heard this. He originally put the grain and grass in the capital, and he also meant to hold hostages to help the ministries.Unexpectedly, such a good opportunity has been created for the prince now.Now even if the decree is issued to collect food from all over the country, I am afraid it will not be urgent, and if these people in the local area are at the top of the list and report the situation to the prince, the prince will not defend the city desperately.

At this time, Jia Ke felt that he should say a few words. He knew that the emperor had been operating in the capital for many years, and spies were all over the city. If they were used at this time to open the city gates for the army, then the capital could be captured quickly.In this way, the armies don't have to worry about food and grass.

So Jia Ke stood up and said to the emperor: "My lord, Jia Ke has a book to play."

As soon as the emperor heard that Jia Ke had something to say, he immediately changed his tone and became gentle, "Jia Aiqing, just say what you have to say."

"Long live, I have been operating in the capital for many years. Now the capital city is high and thick. If it is a strong attack, I am afraid that the loss will be too great. I don't know if there is an internal response in the city. Crime, I think they will act as the emperor's internal support and open the city gate for His Majesty, then we can drive straight in without harming the soldiers, and then the problem of food and grass that plagues us will be solved."

Jia Ke confided all his ideas, hoping to reduce the losses caused by the siege. After all, both sides are soldiers of the dynasty, and if they can die less, it is to preserve more vitality for the dynasty.

The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard Jia Ke's words, and he never thought of using spies to open the city gate and break through the capital quickly.

So the emperor glanced at Dai Quan who was next to him. After all, the royal spies were controlled by Dai Quan, and it was time to use them.It would be best if they could open the city gates.

Seeing the emperor looking at him, Dai Quan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, some of the tricks mastered by the slaves are still usable. But I don't know how many people are willing to listen to the slaves now, but we need to gather a few hundred people to come. It is still possible for the army to open the city gate." Dai Quan said here with a confident smile on his face, after all, he has mastered the entire Tianchao factory guard system for decades, so he still has this confidence.

When the emperor heard this, a smile appeared on his face.In this way, he will be able to return to the imperial city and take his seat tomorrow.At that time, he would like to see how the prince came to see him.

After discussing this matter, the prince vacated the class and said: "Your Majesty, the situation in the capital is chaotic. If the prince escapes and goes to the south to organize troops, what should we do if we rebel against the court?"

The emperor immediately frowned. He knew that the prince had been the heir apparent for decades, and there was already a force around him. If the prince was allowed to escape, there would be trouble, as Wang Ziteng said, and he would reorganize his troops to fight against him.

What's more, if the crown prince fled to the south, he would fight with the emperor, which would be the most troublesome thing.Once this kind of thing happens, it means that the dynasty will be split, and the south is a heavy taxation area. Without the south, the north will be a little powerless in the face of various disasters.

"What Wang Aiqing said is very reasonable. Is there any way for you, Aiqing, to relieve my worries."

Taiyuan Jiedu envoy Wang Zuo was eager to show his merits, so he immediately stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we have 30 troops, although we can't surround the capital. But it is still possible to send out troops to set up ambushes at each city gate. As long as the gates of the capital are controlled, the crown prince will not be able to fly out of the capital even with his wings. At that time, as long as he searches the capital, he may not be able to find any trace of the crown prince."

When the emperor heard that this was indeed the case, he immediately ordered Wang Ziteng to lead his troops to block the nine gates, so that no one could escape from the nine gates.The reason why Wang Ziteng was appointed to block the Nine Gates instead of anyone else was because Jia Ke, as his confidant, wanted to guard by his side.As for the other Jiedu envoys, the emperor still didn't believe it very much. If one of them turned to the prince, and the soldiers went south with the prince, it would be troublesome.

Jia Ke watched their lively discussions below, but she didn't say a word, but felt sad for their future in her heart. Although the emperor hated the prince deeply, they were father and son after all. After a while, this matter will subside up.The emperor must have a father-son relationship, and those who make suggestions will be the thorn in the emperor's eyes.

These people may know the way of officialdom like the palm of their hands, but they did not think that the emperor and the crown prince are kinship after all, and blood is thicker than water.What's more, the prince has been educated by the emperor himself for decades, so he is different from other princes.The emperor treats other princes with the way of monarch and ministers rather than the relationship between father and son.But for this prince, the relationship between father and son is greater than the way of monarch and minister.This time, no matter who captures the prince in the end, on the surface, he may have done a lot of credit, and I am afraid that he will not end well in the end.
