The eldest son of the red mansion

Could it be that something happened to the emperor?Could it be that there are spies of the prince in the palace, so that the emperor is now injured.

Jia Ke didn't care about others and said to the little eunuch, "Come on, let's enter the palace together."

After he finished speaking, he grabbed the little eunuch, got on his horse, and put the little eunuch in front of his own horse.Then he urged the fire dragon horse to gallop towards the palace.

Jia Ke and the imperial doctor arrived at the palace almost at the same time.When Dai Quan saw Jia Ke, it was like seeing a savior.Said to the person who came forward to grab him: "Master Jia is not well, the emperor has fainted now."

Jia Ke was also a little shocked when he heard Dai Quan's words. He didn't expect that the emperor was not injured by the prince's hands, but he fainted after the general situation was settled.

But now is no longer the time to think about these things. Jia Ke first said to Dai Quan: "You immediately block the East Nuan Pavilion. Control all the maids and eunuchs in the East Nuan Pavilion, and never let the news of the emperor's illness spread."

After instructing Dai Quan, he said to the imperial doctor next to him, "Hurry up and give the emperor a diagnosis and treatment. If there is anything wrong with the emperor, I will kill your whole family."

Hearing this, the imperial doctor trembled with fright, but he reluctantly stepped forward to feel the emperor's pulse. He was a little nervous at first, but he gradually calmed down. After feeling the emperor's pulse, the last bit of nervousness was relieved. .The emperor's illness is still an old problem, but it only aggravates many of these things, and it is not difficult for the imperial physician.

After the imperial doctor checked the emperor's pulse, he was completely relieved. He got up and said to Dai Quan and Jia Ke, "Don't worry, Mr. Jia, the inner minister. The emperor is fine. It's just an old problem. I was overworked and nervous all day, so I just broke out concentratedly, as long as I rest for a period of time and take medicine for recuperation, I think it will be no big deal."

Only then did Jia Ke feel relieved, and said to the imperial doctor: "You should quickly prescribe medicine for the emperor, and you must not leave the palace gate until the emperor fully recovers."

After Jia Ke finished ordering the imperial doctor, he told Dai Quan: "Now is an extraordinary moment, and it is inevitable that someone will fish in troubled waters. You must brew the emperor's medicine yourself, and don't leave it to others. At the same time, close the palace gates and cut off internal and external traffic. .Don't let the emperor spread the word about his illness, or the princes will come to make trouble."

"Master Jia said that the safety of the emperor is more important than anything else now, and there are only two of us by his side. We must work together to keep the safety of the emperor." Dai Quan knew that he and the emperor were both prosperous and harmed by each other. .So he desperately wanted to keep the emperor's life.

Jia Ke fully agreed with Dai Quan's words, and then told Dai Quan: "The emperor's daily life record must not record the current affairs, even the prescriptions used by the emperor must be kept secret. Otherwise, it will be seen by interested people, otherwise it will be harmful to the emperor in the future." A trouble."

After all, an emperor who may faint at any time will not reassure the ministers, and those princes may make trouble again at that time.

When Jia Ke and Dai Quan were discussing, the emperor groaned on the bed, as if I had just woken up.In fact, the emperor had been awake for a while, and he didn't get up right away, because he wanted to test the loyalty of the two most trusted people around him to him. Their hopes and arrangements are all based on their own safety.

If it was someone else, I'm afraid they would start discussing the successor now, and even want to be a powerful minister and coerce the emperor to make the princes.And these two people didn't have it at all, they put their minds on it, they just thought about their own safety and their grasp of the court situation after waking up, it seems that they still have some vision, the loyalty of these two people to themselves is beyond doubt .

If Jia Ke knew the emperor's thoughts at this time, he would collapse on the ground in fright. He never thought that a person's mind could be so deep, even if he was sick, he would think of calculating others when he was about to die.

Dai Quan and Jia Ke called the emperor to wake up, and immediately came to the emperor's sick bed, and the emperor had recovered by this time.Struggling to get up, Dai Quan hurried over to help him up, and put a pillow on his back.

The emperor was a little breathless when he spoke at this time, "Dai Quan, draw up an order for me. Jia Ke will temporarily command all the soldiers and horses inside and outside the capital, but those who commit chaos and plot irregularities will be killed first and then played. All ministers and princes should study quietly at home and not step on it." Take a step out of the house."

Dai Quan quickly drew up the imperial decree on the small table next to it, and then showed it to the emperor. The emperor read the imperial decree carefully, then waved his hand weakly, and asked Dai Quan to go to use the seal.

"Which seal does Your Majesty use now?" Dai Quan asked cautiously. You must know that each kind of blessing has different uses and powers. If you use the wrong jade seal at that time, you will be in big trouble.

"Using the treasure of controlling the six divisions is to let the people in the world know that I have handed over the military power of the capital to Jia Aiqing, so that they will be obedient, otherwise Jia Aiqing has the right to punish them." The emperor said firmly, he The only people I can trust completely now are these two people by my side.

If Dai Quan wants to control the palace, Jia Ke can only lead the troops to control the capital, otherwise the princes may cause trouble. After experiencing the prince's rebellion, the emperor's vigilance towards his sons has reached an unprecedented level high.He could even trust a foreign minister, but he would never trust his own son. Now in his impression, all these princes stared at his throne with blood-red eyes.

Like Jia Ke, the emperor has passed down a decree, and this decree is in line with his own wishes, but he still has to do superficial work, Jia Ke quickly knelt down in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, this mission is really important. I am afraid that Wei Wei will not be able to convince the public, so hurry up and choose a person with high morals and high prestige, who has been at the side to assist, and I think he can guarantee the safety of the capital."

The emperor panted and said to him: "You don't need to say too much, who else can I trust besides you? You have to handle this matter carefully, and you must strictly monitor those princes. If you find them communicating with ministers, you don't have to. Keep your hands, the ministers who communicated with them will be executed immediately, and the prince will be imprisoned immediately. I will deal with it when I recover."

Chapter 243 Controlling the Army

After listening to the emperor's instructions, Jia Ke quickly knelt down on the ground to thank the Lord for his kindness.After Jia Ke finished thanking her, she remembered one more thing. This matter must be greeted in advance. Unexpectedly, when the emperor blamed him, he couldn't bear to walk around.

That's the prince's business, this time the prince is determined, but how to deal with it in the future, whether to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, or to be imprisoned for the rest of his life, depends on the emperor's will.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how the crown prince should be dealt with for the time being. Should he be sent back to the East Palace or imprisoned in the imperial city?" Jia Ke asked cautiously.

As soon as the emperor heard Jia Ke's question about the prince, his veins were exposed and his face was grim.If there was still a little bit of father-son affection in the past, then now he completely hates the prince. He thinks that his illness is getting worse now, and it is entirely the prince's fault.If it wasn't for his sudden rebellion, which caused him to faint several times, he wouldn't be lying on the hospital bed to deal with state affairs now.

So the emperor said furiously: "What else can I say, this rebellious son? I still want to go back to the East Palace to enjoy the blessings and imprison him in the palace. Only two meals a day are allowed, and no one is allowed to visit." Finally, I thought about it , has been imprisoned in the palace, Jia Ke is not easy to deal with, so he added: "This matter is considered to be Dai Quan."

Dai Quan quickly agreed at the side, he is also eager to eat the prince's flesh now, he almost died.He was shot by an arrow when he broke through the siege a few days ago. Although he missed the point, the danger at that time scared him out of his wits.Although the injury has been bandaged and carefully treated by the imperial physician, it still hurts faintly.I thought in my heart that this time I must serve the prince well, this matter will be in his hands, which is exactly what he wants.

Although he gave away this hot potato, Jia Ke felt that the emperor did not intend to kill the prince.There was still a trace of father-son affection, so he stepped forward to advise and said: "Your Majesty, although the prince rebelled and caused turmoil in the capital, the prince is the eldest son of the emperor after all. Since he has been imprisoned and punished, I ask you to give him some money in life." preferential treatment."

After hearing Jia Ke's words, the emperor immediately felt angry and wanted to express it.But suddenly he thought about it, the empress he passed away entrusted him at the end of his life, and he couldn't help feeling that a cold water directly extinguished all this anger.

It can be said that the relationship between the emperor and the deceased Empress Yuan, who grew up together as childhood sweethearts, is not the same as that of the current empress.And the deceased Empress Yuan was still thinking about the prince before she died, asking him to take care of him all the time, teach him everywhere, and ask him to be considerate of any mistakes in the future.

Thinking of this, the emperor frowned and relaxed, and said to Dai Quan next to him: "Although the prince is banned, he has not been abolished from the position of prince. Even if I abolished his prince, he is also my son. In the future, life must be dealt with leniently, and there must be no negligence."

After listening to the emperor's words, Dai Quan hurriedly smiled beside the emperor and said, "Naturally, after all, the crown prince is also the master of the servant, and the servant watched him grow up. How dare the servant treat the prince poorly?"

After the emperor explained to Dai Quan, he closed his eyes. He was indeed a little tired today.But he thought in his heart that it was Jia Ke's words, no matter what, he was his own son. Although he would imprison him, he still had to arrange for him the basic food and clothing as the emperor's nobles.

At the same time, the emperor's affection for Jia Ke grew stronger. When the prince was at his most glorious, he did not join the prince and was loyal to himself.But when the prince had been imprisoned, he spoke for the prince.In fact, it was just thinking about the father-son relationship between himself and the prince.

The emperor thought for a while, and said to Jia Ke who was still standing aside: "You have time. Go and see the prince on my behalf, and don't let the slaves below do anything excessive to him."

After hearing what the emperor said, Jia Ke hurriedly cupped her hands and said, "I would like to follow the emperor's order, my minister, and I will definitely visit the prince if I have time."

The emperor nodded in relief, and said to Dai Quan beside him, "Give Jia Aiqing a token to enter and exit the palace."

After listening to the emperor's words, Dai Quan carefully exited the palace, and walked in with a wooden box after a while.Then he opened the wooden box and there was a brass token inside, and delivered it to Jia Ke.

Jia Ke thanked the emperor for his gratitude, and then took the token.Did he know that this was the emperor's greatest trust in him.To be honest, he is also somewhat grateful to the emperor now.

So Jia Ke left the palace with the imperial decree bearing the treasure of controlling the six masters, and the token that banned entry and exit from the palace. As for the prince's affairs, he didn't have to worry about it.If you have time, go over and have a look at him, just don't let him be tossed by those servants, other things are not something he can decide.

Jia Ke returned directly to the Infantry Command Yamen with the imperial decree. Jia Ke decided to use this as his office for the time being. After all, this has always been the place where the soldiers and horses of the capital used to issue orders. Now it is reasonable for Jia Ke to work here.

After Jia Ke arrived at the yamen of the infantry commander, he immediately ordered his own soldiers to clear out everyone in the yamen, and then replaced them with the clerks of his own army.

The first thing to do next is to call all the generals near the capital to meet him, announce the emperor's imperial decree to them, and control all the soldiers and horses inside and outside the capital.

When Jia Ke sent his messengers to summon the generals from all walks of life, Jia Ke first called a few of his confidants. These people have followed Jia Ke since Kaipingwei. It can be said that they are devoted to Jia Ke. These people are Zheng Kai, Luo Cen, Xiao Kun, Ma Zuo.

Jia Ke, you first say to Zheng Kai, "You go and control the soldiers of the Liaodong Jiedushi now. Some of them are the elite brought by Xie Hu from Liaodong. As long as you control them, the Liaodong Jiedushi will not be able to escape in the future." Out of our palms."

"Don't worry, general, I'm going now. Within three days, I will subdue the soldiers of Liaodong and wait for your master's dispatch." Zheng Kai immediately assured that this matter is not very difficult. The horse has already surrendered and has no intention of resisting. Second, Jia Ke has the imperial decree of the emperor, and can control all kinds of soldiers and horses in a legitimate manner.

After Jia Ke finished paying Zheng Kai, he said to Luo Cen: "Go and control the 3 horses in the original infantry commanding yamen. If there are not enough people, there are some people in the original infantry commanding yamen who want to make up for it. You can use these people boldly." , I think they dare not do anything wrong again."

Luo Cen was overjoyed when he heard that Jia Ke had asked him to control [-] infantry to lead the army in the Yamen.Now he can be regarded as the leader of the party, and he immediately asked Jia Ke to express his opinion: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely take care of these people for my lord, and I will be at your disposal at any time."

The next step is the Forbidden Army. Jia Ke handed this matter over to Xiao Kun. This person is not as clever as the others, nor has any special skills, and his ability to lead the army is also mediocre. Jia Ke obeyed what he said, and he didn't have any bad habits, so some things were left to Jia Ke to rest assured.

So this time the task of rectifying the Forbidden Army was entrusted to him. Unlike other rebels, the Forbidden Army was not considered a rebellion this time. It was just that King Beijing, who was in charge of the Forbidden Army, was suddenly killed and was controlled by the Minister of War Huo Tu.But even so, he did not contribute a little in the subsequent wars.When compared to other armies, it is easier to control, and it is the simplest of them.

Next, Jia Ke asked Ma Zuo, "Are the Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion peaceful now? Are there any rebels coming to make trouble?"

Ma Zuo was sent by Jia Ke to protect the Rongning Second Mansion as soon as he entered the city, so Jia Ke asked this question.

"Please rest assured, my lord. After I brought my troops to the Rongning Second Mansion, it was relatively peaceful and there were no rioting soldiers. The crown prince did not take any measures against Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion. They have been protected by the soldiers now. The master of Rongguo Mansion, still Invite us sergeants to drink." Ma Zuo replied respectfully.

When Jia Ke heard that Rongguo Mansion was fine, he felt relieved. In fact, he was mainly worried about Rongguo Mansion, and as for Ningguo Mansion, it was just incidental.

"Okay, you did a good job in this matter. I will give you an errand to show your face. It is a reward for you. You go to our camp to order [-] soldiers to replace the imperial army to protect the imperial city, so that you can show your face in front of the emperor." Satisfied, Jia Ke gave him a little sweet.
