The eldest son of the red mansion

Although Jia Ke didn't understand what was going on, his wife became more gentle, and he was still happy to see her success, so he enjoyed Qin Keqing's care with peace of mind.

For the next period of time, Ningrong Second Mansion was busy in preparation for the Chinese New Year.

First, Jia's offering sacrifices to Tianzhuang Touwu Jinxiao came to hand over the property, and the gift list was very detailed.There are countless precious items, and this year's items are obviously much more than previous years, so Jia Zhen even praised him a few words.But they didn't know that he didn't dare to act recklessly this year because he was afraid of Jia Ke.Next, Jia Zhen, the patriarch, handled the belongings, leaving some for her own use, giving to the Rongguo Mansion, and one to Jia Ke's Wuyanghou Mansion.Only the three of them took most of the things away.Let the clan's children of the Ning Rong State House collect the rest.People from all ethnic groups in the Jia family were not dissatisfied with Jia Ke's distribution of a large portion of items this year, because Jia Ke served as the chief minister of the military aircraft this year, and the various ethnic groups in the Jia family received a lot of favors from him, and almost everyone got something.Now the children of the Jia family in central Beijing are well-connected, and they all have a good business.They all know that they are relying on Jia Ke now, so it is impossible for anyone to complain.

The next thing is Beijing-China exchanges, all kinds of up and down management. In the past, Rongguo Mansion was bleeding heavily, but this year is different from the past. Officials from both Beijing and China come to Rongguo Mansion and Wuyanghou Mansion to give gifts.

The Marquis of Wuyang mansion is selective in accepting these gifts, but Mrs. Wang of Rongguo mansion never refuses them.By the time of the count, the value of the property received by the Wuyanghou Mansion was about 8 to 5 taels, and the value of the property received by the Rongguo Mansion was probably [-] to [-] taels.In the past, my own family gave gifts to others, but now the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have to give gifts to the Rongguo Mansion and Wuyang Hou Mansion.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the three mansions began to be busy, changing the door gods and couplets, then opening the main gate, and lighting two rows of red candles on both sides. These lanterns finally met in front of the gate of Rongguo Mansion, with extraordinary momentum, like "two golden dragons" generally".In this way, Rongguo Mansion was guarded by Wuyanghou Mansion and Ningguo Mansion in the middle, making it even more imposing.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Jia Mu and other wives with royal titles will first enter the palace to celebrate the New Year.

As for entering the palace to congratulate, they are not sorted by seniority, but by their respective ranks.

These grades correspond to their own husbands.Among these people, Mother Jia is naturally the first. She is the wife of Rong Guogong, and she is naturally the wife of Yipin, so she can be called Mrs. Yipin.

Next is Qin Keqing, who is younger in generation but has a higher-ranking husband. Because Jia Ke is the Marquis of Wuyang, she, as his wife, is naturally the wife of the first rank, and can also be called the first-rank wife.

Next is Jia She's wife, Mrs. Xing. Although Jia She is a first-rank general, Mrs. Xing can only be a first-rank wife, and can also be called a first-rank wife.

Next is Jia Zhen's wife, You Shi, who is the wife of the third rank.Known as Shuren.

The last one is Mrs. Wang, the head of the Rongguo Mansion. Because Jia Zheng is only a fifth-rank official, she can only be the fifth-rank imperial wife, so she can be called a pleasant person.

Therefore, in the order of entering the palace, there must be no mistake in the high-grade clothing worn on the body.

Then there is the ancestor worship, which is no different from previous years.The only difference is that this year the Jia family has two more brides, and it is the first time for these two newcomers to enter the Jia family ancestral hall.

But their positions are completely different. Qin Keqing is next to Jia Mu, setting up incense tables for the ancestors to add dishes, while Li Wan can only pass things near the door.

After these etiquettes are completed, the New Year's Eve begins. After these things, all the etiquettes are considered complete.

The next day, the high-ranking imperial order had to get up again and go to the third prince's mansion, like Jia Yuanchun to greet the New Year.

And Jia Ke will also enter the palace to congratulate the emperor on the first day of the Lunar New Year.The etiquette involved was even more complicated, and Jia Ke could not come back until she had eaten the lunch bestowed by the emperor.

But the lunch given by the emperor was not so delicious, because there were too many officials who came to congratulate the emperor, so many people ate in the courtyard outside the Qianqing Palace.Jia Ke, as the chief minister of the military aircraft, can naturally enter the Qianqing Gate to eat.But that's not good. There are not many dishes, and the cooking is not good. This year's food is not bad.I heard from other ministers that in previous years there was even a situation where rotten mutton was served on the table.

Moreover, all the officials were afraid of eating the emperor's meal, although a group of officials gathered together to eat, drink, chat and laugh to win over their feelings.But the frightening thing is that the emperor's banquet has complicated rules and many etiquettes, so that the officials dare not take it lightly.

After eating the meal tremblingly, it was time for the emperor to show his favor.At this time, the emperor took out a stack of blessing characters written by himself, and gave them to his trusted ministers one by one, and Jia Ke was the first to receive the blessing characters this year.After the rewards were finished, all the ministers thanked each other, and then went back to their homes.

In the next few days, I will meet relatives and friends, and then I will sit together and listen to opera and singing.

This lively New Year's event lasted until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Jia Ke officially went to court. For some reason, Jia Ke felt much more relaxed.It was a bit more tiring than him handling all kinds of official duties at the military plane every day.In fact, this is not the end here, because the [-]th day of the first lunar month is the day when the ancestral hall is closed.Tomorrow he will go to the ancestral hall in person.

But just when Jia Ke was thinking that he would be comfortable for a few days after the Chinese New Year, someone gave him a moth again.Because last year the prince was imprisoned for treason.It has been almost half a year now, but the emperor has no intention of establishing a prince.But the emperor is getting older now, so some officials jointly signed up to ask the emperor to establish a prince early, fearing that if the emperor has something good or bad, and the position of the prince is not yet determined, then the powerful minister will be in power, and the cholera will be in power.What's more, there are dozens of ministers' joint names in this document. If this is not handled properly, it will be a major event that will shake the court.

Seeing this, Jia Ke didn't understand what they meant. He was clearly talking about him, because he was a general and not a civil servant. He was trusted by the emperor to serve as the head minister of the military aircraft department. Some civil servants could not accept it. Try to give him eye drops.

What was said to let the emperor establish a prince early to prevent the powerful ministers from cholera is just to remind the emperor that he is the powerful ministers of the dynasty.Although this is the actual situation, no one other than himself knows that he has controlled the most elite troops of the dynasty.

According to the normal situation, he has just served as Minister of Military Affairs for only a few months, let alone becoming a minister of power, even if he is cultivating power in the court, he does not have that time.This is clearly a crime of snare, and he should be kicked out of power.

He saw that many of the civil servants who signed their names had given gifts to his family.Then suddenly gave him a sap.

Although Jia Ke wanted to suppress this memorial, although he was the foreman of the military aircraft, after all, he was just a general leader, and his power was about the same as the other four military aircraft.It's just that the name sounds nicer.

Jia Ke still showed the joint memorial to several other ministers of military affairs. These people read the memorial, and then their eyes dodged and their words were vague.Without giving Jia Ke a clear answer, Pan Yong even went along with them, thinking that the Prince Li is right now, and it seems that Pan Yong has been eyeing Jia Ke's seat for a long time.

Chapter 275 Raid 2

Seeing the expressions of the other ministers of military affairs, Jia Ke didn't understand that this was a consensus reached by all civil servants. The purpose was not to force the emperor to appoint a prince, but to make the emperor suspicious of himself, and then to push himself down. Maybe this time It can't be successful, but if you do it a few times, the emperor will really believe it.Maybe they think that such an important position can only be held by senior civil servants who are highly respected, and Jia Ke, a young child, is not qualified to be the chief minister of the military aircraft department.

Jia Ke felt dangerous about his situation now, and these civil servants seemed unable to allow a general to sit on an equal footing with them.The next step is to hand it over to the emperor to see what the emperor's attitude is.

Jia Ke now suspects that the other four people from the Military Aircraft Department were also involved, otherwise they would not be so calm.Jia Ke now felt that she was covered in sweat, and felt that she had reached a critical moment of life and death.He couldn't help but be thankful now that he had arranged all kinds of people. If the emperor was pressured by all the civil servants to deal with him, then he would have to coerce the emperor to order the princes for his own safety.

Although I am not ready now, but with my own bravery and the people in the capital under my control, plus Xuanfu Town and Liaodong Town, if things go well, I can occupy at least half of the country and rule the same way as the current imperial court.

Could it be that these civil servants really naively thought that only one imperial decree could deprive him of his military power.However, from Jia Ke's point of view, there may be a bigger figure behind this incident.

To be able to complete this big plan, and to gather so many popularity, I am afraid that there is only a certain prince, and seeing this prince in Jia Ke, I am afraid that he is really loyal to the court and the emperor.In the court, he should be regarded as a good prince with far-sighted vision and extraordinary resourcefulness. Maybe he will be the one who will ascend the throne in the future. This emperor should have been educated by Confucianism, and he, the military generals in power, would naturally regard him as an enemy.

But this person probably didn't see that he was rebellious, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a bright statement.Instead, he secretly entered the palace to meet the emperor, and then either secretly controlled the various troops and horses, or recruited him into the palace to be executed.That being the case, he will have a good time with the prince.Let's see if the current old emperor trusts him or the prince.

So Jia Ke said to the other military officers: "Since everyone doesn't have any answers, then let the emperor deal with it. After all, it is better for the emperor to decide on such a big matter as the establishment of a prince."

Several other people have no opinion on this, isn't this really the result they said they want?So everyone went to the East Nuan Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation together to meet the emperor.

On the way to Dongnuange, Jia Ke had figured it out. Not only would he not be in any danger this time, but he would probably earn even more power, because he used so much power for the prince, and many court ministers who held important positions They are all in it, and even the other four ministers of military aircraft probably know it. To put it bluntly, he is just a lackey of the emperor who has been in charge of military aircraft for several months. There is no need for such a large force. Their actions were taken too early.If it takes another year or two, maybe this trick will still be useful to the emperor.But if we wait another year or two, then Jia Ke's wings will be full. At that time, if they dare to do this again, Jia Ke will not shy away from killing them.

At this time, it is clear which the emperor is afraid of. Although this prince is smart, he has never been an emperor after all. I don’t know what the emperor thinks. Obedient, under his control.

What the emperor is most afraid of is actually the members of the royal family, even their princes. Therefore, in that generation of emperors, there were almost no princes in power.But this prince can motivate dozens of ministers, and his power is already not small.Even the four ministers in the Military Aircraft Department have already taken refuge with that one, so isn't the emperor frightened?

But this prince forgot the truth that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. The King Zhongshun back then was just a group of ministers going to his mansion to congratulate him on marrying a concubine.The emperor sent an imperial decree to drive him into the dust.Up to now, he can only become an idle prince who eats, drinks and has fun.

Jia Ke brought the other four military ministers to Dongnuan Pavilion. The little eunuch in front of the hall saw them coming, and hurried forward to ask, "Several adults are here, but they want to have an audience with the emperor."

Jia Ke said to the eunuch in a friendly manner, "That's right, there is one matter for the emperor to make a decision on, and please let the young eunuch go in and report."

The faces of the other ministers were not as good as Jia Ke's. They didn't have a good face towards the eunuchs around the emperor, thinking that too much communication with these people would lower their status.So now all of them are facing the sky, and they don't bother to talk to those eunuchs.

It's like the eunuchs are used to this kind of situation, but they are still a little annoyed in their hearts, thinking about when to give them color.But still smiling on the surface, he bowed to them, and then went into the East Nuan Pavilion to report.

The emperor did not deal with official business in Dongnuange, and now he was sitting on the kang by the window, holding a book in his hand, with tea and snacks beside him, looking very leisurely.

At this time, the little eunuch entered Dongnuan Pavilion, came in front of the emperor, first knelt down and kowtowed to pay his respects, and then reported: "Long live, several military ministers are waiting outside Dongnuan Pavilion"

"Let them in." The emperor said nonchalantly.

The young lady listened to the order, and immediately bowed her body and exited Dongnuan Pavilion.

After leaving the East Nuan Pavilion and approaching several ministers, Jia Ke first asked, "Little Eunuch, what does the Emperor say?"

"Long live God ordered several adults to go in."

Jia Ke thanked and said, "Thank you, Father-in-law, for running back and forth." After finishing speaking, he stuffed a silver coin into his hand without leaving any traces, while the ministers next to him with their nostrils turned upside down did not notice these things at all.

When the little eunuch saw the rudeness of several military ministers, one can imagine the anger in his heart.So when he led them into the East Nuan Pavilion, he whispered to Jia Ke: "Master Jia, after entering the East Nuan Pavilion, Your Excellency will follow me closely. When you salute the Long Live Lord, you will stand on my right hand."

Jia Ke was taken aback when he heard what he said, but recently realized that the little eunuch was annoyed by several other military ministers and wanted to show them some color.Although Jia Ke didn't know what the little eunuch was going to stumbling the ministers, but thinking about it, they wouldn't feel good either.

So everyone followed the little eunuch into Dongnuan Pavilion.Jia Ke kept in mind the little eunuch's instructions and followed closely at his right hand.

After everyone entered the East Nuan Pavilion, they came to the emperor's imperial case together.First, the little eunuch knelt down and saluted the emperor: "Report to Lord Long Live, and the five ministers of military intelligence have also been brought here."
