The eldest son of the red mansion

On the Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang's approach is completely different from Qin Keqing's. As long as someone comes to give a gift, she will accept it with peace of mind, regardless of what the giver is asking for.

Moreover, the things she collected did not go into Rongguo Mansion's warehouse, but into her own private treasury.

In the afternoon, when Jia Zheng came back from the yamen, he went directly to the outer study and sent a servant to the Wuyang Hou Mansion to tell Jia Ke to meet him in the outer study immediately after he came back.

Jia Ke finished her day's business in the afternoon, and then left the military aircraft office and returned to the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion. Just as she was about to sit down and have a cup of tea, she heard that Jia Zheng was ordered to meet him in the study outside the Rongguo mansion immediately after he came back. he.

Jia Ke immediately understood what Jia Zheng meant. It seemed that Jia Zheng was a little worried about what happened in the court today, so he asked him to find out.

When Jia Ke came to Jia Zhengwai's study in the Rongguo Mansion, there was already a servant waiting at the door. When he saw Jia Ke coming, he reported the news inside, and at the same time raised the curtain for him to invite him in.

Jia Ke came into the room and saw Jia Zheng sitting in front of him, Jia Ke quickly stepped forward to salute him, when Jia Zheng saw him, he yelled angrily: "Damn beast, you won't kneel down for me."

Although Jia Ke didn't know why Jia Zheng was going crazy, in feudal society, you were the first rank in the imperial court, and you didn't dare to resist when your father asked you to kneel down at home.

Then Jia Ke knelt on the ground again, bowed his hands to Jia Zheng and said, "I don't know what the son did wrong to make father so angry."

"The good deeds you did in the court today put dozens of ministers into prison in one fell swoop. You also let our Jia family live in Beijing or not." Jia Zheng was ostracized by his colleagues in the yamen this afternoon. He sneered for a while, but this time he came back to vent his anger on Jia Ke.

Jia Ke couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Jia Zheng's words, so he had to explain to him: "Where did father hear this rumor? Even if my son has great abilities, he doesn't have the ability to put dozens of ministers in prison."

Although Jia Zheng was still very annoyed, he felt very reasonable after listening to Jia Ke's words. At that time, the emperor was still in court, so how could Jia Ke have the power to put dozens of ministers into the prison.So he asked angrily, "What's going on? Now it's rumored in the official circles that you have dominated the government and controlled the government, and sent dozens of ministers who disagreed with you to prison."

Jia Ke, when you hear this, you will know that it was done by Wen Chen. Except for them, no one has ever been so shameless.But he had to explain to Jia Zheng: "These ministers have no eyes on the emperor, and they forced the emperor to install a prince in the court. The emperor was furious because of this, and immediately put these people in the sky prison, waiting to be punished."

In fact, things are much more complicated than what Jia Ke said, but Jia Ke doesn't need to explain so much to Jia Zheng, just tell him the general things.

After Jia Zheng heard Jia Ke's words, his complexion changed a little. You must know that the establishment of a crown prince has always been a top priority in the court.It is still a small thing that these ministers disobeyed the emperor and were imprisoned in heaven. In the future, these people's official careers may be cut off.

"Then why do people say it's because of you?" Jia Zheng was still puzzled.

At this time, Jia Ke didn't know how to explain to him. Could it be that these ministers thought he was a powerful minister?So he said to Jia Zheng later: "This involves the struggle between the civil and military factions. Our family has always been a noble person, but now I am in charge of the government. Which civil servants are naturally unwilling? That's why there is a fight, and it's nothing Father doesn't have to worry about important matters. As long as the emperor favors our family, these people are nothing but clowns."

Only then did Jia Zheng let go of his heart, but he still asked worriedly, "Is there really nothing serious?"

"It's really nothing serious. Today the emperor gave me full power to handle the affairs of the court. Look at the gift givers at our door. If something really happened to our family, these people outside would have gone somewhere long ago. "Jia Ke's concern about Jia Zheng is actually understandable, after all, he is only a fifth-rank official and is not qualified to participate in major events in the court.

After Jia Zheng listened to Jia Ke's consolation, he was completely at ease. He also knew the warmth and coldness of human relationships.When he returned to the mansion just now, so many officials came to give gifts in front of the door.If Jia Ke was going to fall, these people would have been hiding long ago. It seems that Jia Ke is not only fine, but even more dazzling than before.

Thinking of his flustered appearance just now, Jia Zheng felt a little red on his face, so he pretended to cough and said solemnly, "Although the emperor favors you, you must work hard to do your job, and don't disappoint the emperor's trust."

"My son understands that the emperor has shown great kindness to our family, and my son will definitely repay the emperor's kindness with death." Jia Ke said firmly, not knowing how much of what he said was true or false.

After hearing Jia Ke's words, Jia Zheng was satisfied and let him go out.

Chapter 280 Military Power

Jia Ke didn't know that the conversation between him and Jia Zheng had been delivered to the emperor's side within an hour.

Dai Quan, as the chief spy of the emperor, was standing beside the emperor with the secret report of the day, waiting for the emperor's question.

The emperor was lying on the queen's bed at this time, and asked with his eyes closed: "How is the Rongguo Mansion going now? How did Jia Ke react after returning?"

On the surface, the emperor had a lot of trust in Jia Ke, but in fact the emperor was the most suspicious person in the world, and he never fully trusted anyone.Jia Ke was given such great power this time, so he naturally couldn't take it lightly.

Dai Quan stood beside him with a flattering smile and said, "Long Live Lord, the Rongguo Mansion and Wuyanghou Mansion have been infiltrated by slaves like a sieve. Just now, the little ones have sent the conversation between Jia Ke and Jia Zheng. As soon as the slave got the The news was sent to Long Live Lord."

After Dai Quan finished speaking, he held a thick copy to the emperor's side.

The emperor glanced sideways, then stretched out his hand, and Dai Quan quickly put the folder into the emperor's hand.

The emperor is lying on the queen's bed like this, holding the secret report and watching it carefully. At this moment, the queen came in from the outside, holding a bowl of medicine in a jade bowl. She is worried about others brewing medicine now, so this time the emperor wants to use it. She has to boil the medicine herself.

The queen came in with the medicine and saw the emperor lying on the bed and still reading a booklet.Unable to restrain the anger on his face, he walked over and put the medicine on the table next to him, and was about to grab the discount.

When Dai Quan saw the queen like this, he immediately turned his face away. He couldn't afford to offend either of these two figures, so now he could only shrink his body small and hoped that the two big figures would not see him.

Seeing the queen coming to snatch the discount, the emperor hurriedly said to her: "Zitong can't do this, this secret report is of great importance, I must read it right away."

The queen stopped after hearing what he said, but still said angrily: "If there is something important, I won't let it go even if I'm so sick."

After the queen lost her temper with the emperor, she said to Dai Quan who was standing aside: "You are really a slave. The emperor is sick like this, and you still come to disturb him. What's the use of you people?"

Hearing the queen's complaint, Dai Quan quickly fell to his knees, "Damn the slave, damn the slave." He slapped his own mouth as he spoke.

The queen looked at Dai Quan who was kneeling on the ground and kept smacking his mouth, and couldn't bear it. This matter was probably arranged by the emperor. What can he do as a slave?

"Okay, get up, I'll spare you this time, and I'll be more discerning in the future."

Dai Quan stood up when he heard that the queen had spared him, and said to the queen with a smile on his face, "Thank you, my servant, for your magnanimity. I must have eyesight in the future, so I won't cause you any more trouble."

At this time, the emperor had almost read the secret report in his hand, and was very satisfied with the contents of the secret report.With a smile on his face, he handed the secret report to the queen and said, "Zitong doesn't need to embarrass this slave any more. You can read this report and you will know why."

The queen walked up to the emperor, took the secret report, read it from beginning to end, and couldn't help showing a smile on her face. She understood Jia Ke's gratitude to Jia Ke.Some time ago, she was still a little puzzled by the emperor's appointment of a young man in his twenties as the chief minister of the military aircraft department.Now she understands the emperor's intentions. Instead of using those ministers who hide ghosts in their hearts, it is better to use this young man who is dedicated to serving the emperor.

After reading the secret report from the empress, the emperor smiled and said to her: "With Jia Ke here, I am not afraid even if the ministers below turn the sky upside down."

After the emperor said this, his eyes immediately darkened again, and he thought of the prince.It seems that Jia Ke should be used to continue to put pressure on him, so that he will not dare to act rashly in the future, otherwise he will think that the emperor is just a display.

The queen also smiled when she heard his words, "Okay, Long Live is right, but you should take the medicine first. Otherwise, it might get cold and affect the efficacy of the medicine." After finishing speaking, she went to the table next to her, Pick up the medicine and deliver it to the emperor.

The emperor is in a good mood now, he took the medicine and drank it in one gulp. After waking up, he felt that there was nothing serious, but what the imperial doctor said really scared him.Therefore, he obeyed the imperial physician's orders, hoping that he could live longer.If you say that the person who is most afraid of death in the world is probably the emperor, after enjoying the life of promises, who can give up these things?Therefore, the emperor now only hopes to live one more day.

This event where all the ministers submitted a petition to request the emperor to establish a crown prince, just passed away.But the impact of this incident did not end so easily.This incident invisibly established the concept of Jia Ke as the emperor's most trusted person in the minds of the ministers, and thus gradually consolidated Jia Ke's position in the court.

But for the latent prince, it was almost a catastrophe. The prince could not have imagined that the emperor would kill so many ministers and almost wiped out his power in the court.Now the prince feels very wronged in his heart. He is obviously thinking of the court, and he is afraid that the military general will monopolize the power and end up with cholera. How come his father doesn't understand at all?From all indications, his father has already suppressed him as an opponent.From then on, his every move was probably under the emperor's surveillance.In the future, there will never be such a good opportunity to cultivate party members and win people's hearts.

Because of this incident, the prince didn't eat for almost three days in his palace.His only thought now is to get rid of the scourge of Jia Ke for his ancestor Jiangshan, but as Jia Ke's power grows, he becomes more and more afraid.I am very afraid that everything in the dream will repeat itself in reality.

After Jia Ke returned to the Marquis of Wuyang's Mansion, his mood was not completely relaxed. Although he believed that the emperor still trusted him, he had to guard against this trick, which was to make him relax his vigilance and finally give him a thunderous blow. , so Jia Ke decided that before gaining an absolute advantage, she must not relax in the slightest.

As soon as Jia Ke returned to the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion, his big butler Qian Mao came over to report, "Master, just now dozens of ministers came to deliver posts, did you see them?"

Jia Ke passed through these greeting cards from him, and looked carefully. They were all gifts from civil officials in Beijing. Jia Ke didn't want to pay attention to them at first, but flipped through them and found the last one. Wei Jian and Jia Ke, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan, rolled their eyes when they saw this name.

After Jia Ke made up his mind, he said to Qian Mao: "You go and invite Mr. Wei, the general soldier of Sichuan, in these people. He is the only one who has a temper with me. Arrange him in the flower hall. The other civil servants, you let They drop their presents, let them go back."

Qian Mao agreed and went out, and then Jia Ke went to the back house. Jia Ke came to the back house, changed clothes under Qin Keqing's service, and then went to the front flower hall to meet Wei Jian again.

When Jia Ke arrived at the flower hall, Wei Jian had been waiting for a long time.

Wei Jian was waiting in Hua Tingzong until he got impatient and suddenly saw a young man walking into the flower hall. Wei Jian looked carefully at him and saw the breeze in front of him and behind him. He was wearing a python robe with four claws. He immediately knew that Jia Ke was coming. .

Wei Jian hurriedly got up and knelt down on one knee for Jia Ke, "Wei Jian, the last general in Sichuan, has met your lord."

Jia Ke hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and then said, "Master Wei, we are all military commanders, so it's too much courtesy."

After that, Jia Ke took Wei Jian to the flower hall, and the two sat down as guests and hosts.
