The eldest son of the red mansion

The queen saw that Jia Ke knelt down and left, but there was no one else in the palace, so she asked the emperor: "Long live, this kind of decree is the same as yours. Why do you have to let the concubine make the decree?"

The emperor held the queen's hand, with a smile on his face but deep reluctance in his eyes, "I still know my body, at most it's just a few years. If I leave, what will you do? At that time, the third prince probably won't let you, the person who killed his mother, live in this world."

When the queen heard what the emperor said, her face immediately turned white. She was not afraid of what the third prince would do to her, but she just didn't expect the emperor to know so clearly.This shows that the emperor had been helping her suppress this incident decades ago, her eyes were completely red at the thought of this, she threw herself into the emperor's arms, and burst into tears.

The emperor didn't blame her, he put his arms around her back and kept stroking her. The emperor knew that the empress had been blaming him all these years, but he didn't think about him for a moment.So the emperor let her mess around, and sure enough he was right, when he got old, it was indeed the queen who was by his side at the last moment.

After the queen finished crying, she got up from the emperor and saw that the eyes of the emperor were almost dripping with water.

The emperor knew that the queen was not well versed in politics, so he continued to explain to her: "I asked you to deliver a decree to Jia Ke, and I also asked you to be kind to him. After my death, I will leave you a decree, and Jia Ke is also You nostalgic person, when the time comes, you will mobilize the army in Jia Ke's hands according to my will, control the new emperor, and then listen to the government behind the curtain. This will ensure that you can die well."

When the queen heard what the emperor said, Huarong paled in fright. She had been with the emperor for so many years, and she had already grasped the emperor's heart.

This reminded the queen of what happened more than ten years ago, when the emperor gave his heart and soul to Prince Yizhong, and gave the prince almost everything except the throne.As a result, when the prince was a little slack, he launched a thunderous blow against the prince, causing Prince Yizhong to be wiped out by the emperor before he was ready.

Now the empress looked at the emperor and expressed her love for herself. Not only was she not happy, but she became afraid. This could not be the emperor's temptation to herself.

Thinking of this, the queen hurriedly knelt down in front of the emperor, and said tremblingly: "The concubine will never dare to do this, so where will the ancestors be placed? If you have this heart, you will be struck by lightning and fall forever Eighteen layers of hell, you can't stand up."

The emperor quickly stretched out his hand to pull her, and then said to her tremblingly: "Get up quickly, do you want me to die in a hurry?"

Seeing that the emperor was in such a hurry, the empress got up again along with him and sat beside the emperor's bed.

"Leave this decree for you again, just in case you don't want to use it at that time." The emperor said with a sigh. It's testing the queen.He was afraid that after his death, the empress would unite with powerful ministers, and his family's country would be in danger of being overthrown.It was only natural for him to suppress the new emperor when he was alive, but when he died, he didn't want his son to be controlled by a woman.If the empress had promised herself just now, then she would have to find a chance to let her die without a problem, and let the empress make a stand for herself in advance, so that after her death, she would always be with her in the mausoleum.

And Jia Ke will definitely deal with him before he dies. Otherwise, the new emperor may not be able to suppress him. Only he can control and use this Jia Ke. Once he dies, without his suppression, he may become the one with power. Power minister, I am afraid that the new emperor does not have the ability to suppress this fierce general.

Chapter 302

Besides, when Jia Ke left the palace, she always felt a burst of cold sweat all over her body, it was really dangerous just now.Unexpectedly, the emperor thought of abdicating. It seems that the emperor has been a little powerless with the government recently.One is because the illness is too serious, and the other is that the third prince already has the support of the civil servants of the Manchu court. Unexpectedly, the emperor just dealt with some of the third prince's subordinates, and he won the hearts of the courtiers so quickly.The emperor was afraid that he would have a bad end in the future, so he had the idea of ​​retreating bravely, which can be regarded as a title for the third prince, so that the third prince can be comforted, and the third prince also understands the emperor's condition, so he will not deal with the emperor in such a hurry. own monopoly.This is what the emperor thought before Jia Ke offered his advice.

But just now I gave advice to the emperor, I think the emperor has understood his strengths and weaknesses.From now on, I'm afraid I won't make compromises with those civil servants anymore.

The third prince is a civil servant who controls the world. As long as the emperor and his military power are in his hands, they can't make any trouble.

And the emperor now seems to have more trust in him and entrusts him with important tasks. I am afraid that his trust in himself is not as confiding as he seems on the surface.If it is a courtier who completely trusts the emperor, then he is not far from death.Jia Ke has watched so many TV dramas and history books in the modern world, but only saw one sentence in them - the most ruthless emperor's family.

A qualified emperor must be ruthless and righteous. Those emperors who are affectionate and righteous are either faint emperors or overthrown. History is written by the victors.

After Jia Ke returned to Wuyang Hou's mansion, he immediately ordered someone to invite Fan Kang to the mansion.This matter must be discussed with him.

Without time for a cup of tea, Fan Kang came here panting.Since Jia Ke arrived in the capital, Fan Kang has acted as Jia Ke's personal adviser and led the overall situation for him.Fan Kang also lived up to Jia Ke's hopes for him. He has been working hard and controlling the whole situation for Jia Ke, which allows Jia Ke to be distracted from the military aircraft department.

This time, Jia Ke still met Fan Kang in the outer study of Wuyang Hou Mansion.

"My lord, do you need me urgently at such a late hour?" Fan Kang knew that Jia Ke had recruited him so late, there must be something important happening.

As soon as Jia Ke saw Fan Kang coming in, she quickly pulled him to sit next to her.

"Sir, a big event happened tonight, and I'm afraid there will be a shock soon." Jia Ke calmly said to Fan Kang after sitting still.

After hearing Jia Ke's words, Fan Kang immediately interjected, "My lord, don't tell me, let me guess. Could it be that the Supreme Emperor is in poor health and wants to abdicate."

Jia Ke was taken aback. He had just returned from the imperial city, and it was impossible for the news to leak out so quickly. Fan Kang must have guessed it right.Fan Kang has helped Jia Ke handle most of the government affairs since he joined Jia Ke, so that Jia Ke can escape from the heavy affairs.

His talent is unquestionable. The trivial matters around Jia Ke and the news of the army are all under the control of Fan Kang. This reminds Jia Ke of Xiao He on Earth. His talent is resourceful and decisive. Other than that, Zhang Liang cannot be compared.But the contribution to Liu Bang is the first.

Jia Ke thought that Fan Kang had the talent of Xiao He, but he didn't expect that he could guess the emperor's mind and the direction of the court at once. It wasn't because he had Zhang Liang's plan, it was almost Zhuge Liang, the perfect man through the ages.

"Mister's magic calculation, the whole world is in the palm of your hand." Jia Ke couldn't help sighing.

"My lord, there is nothing difficult to guess. The emperor is seriously ill. This is not the first time that news has spread. I am afraid that the emperor's control over the court has become more and more powerless during this time. Otherwise, such a major event regarding the emperor's health will not be possible. The streets and alleys that don’t know how to spread it know it. The emperor probably has this idea now as a last resort.” Fan Kang was not arrogant, but Jia Ke calmly said his opinion.

"Sir, you are right. I just came back from the palace. The emperor has decided to abdicate the throne and the third prince."

"What answer does the lord have in the palace?"

Jia Ke smiled slightly, and said with pride: "I offered a few strategies to the emperor. First, the emperor still controls the military power in the world after abdicating. Second, the appointment of officials above the third rank must be decided by the emperor. Third, the military plan The department has the right to refute the imperial decree of the new emperor."

After hearing Jia Ke's words, Fan Kang couldn't help but look at Jia Ke with admiration. He didn't expect that when Jia Ke was in such an emergency in the palace, he could immediately think of three ways to deal with it.In this way, although the new emperor ascended the throne, the power of the world is still in the hands of the old emperor, and Jia Ke is as stable as Mount Tai.

Little did he know that this was not Jia Ke's ingenuity, but Jia Ke copied the method of the old man Shiquan on earth.

Fan Kang thought for a while, and his face changed, "My lord's plan is very good, but I'm afraid that in the end, neither the old emperor nor the new emperor will be able to tolerate the lord."

Jia Ke seemed to have known it a long time ago, "Flying birds do their best to hide their bows, but cunning rabbits are killed by dogs. There is nothing more powerful than this in the world. How can I be an exception?"

"Then what is the Lord's thinking?" Looking at Jia Ke's calm face, Fan Kang knew that he was already prepared and would never stand still.

Jia Ke stood up and walked to the window, looking at the dark night, her face was a little gloomy, "The old emperor treated me well, the world must be peaceful when he is alive."

Fan Kang immediately understood Jia Ke's meaning, which was to endure until the old emperor passed away, "That is to say, with the current strength of the two towns and the troops in the capital, my lord, I am afraid it is not enough to rule the world."

"Who said that I only have two towns of soldiers, and now the elite soldiers on the nine borders, and the officials with more than a thousand households are almost all from my personal background. And the general who commands the army is probably under my control." Jia Ke still put Some information was disclosed to Fan Kang.

Fan Kang was really shocked when he heard this. Jia Ke has only been in the capital for more than a year, and he has already stretched his tentacles all over the world.How can this be?Even some people, Jia Ke only met with them as the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department when they returned to Beijing to report their duties. How could they control all these people? Hand, if this is the case, then what these two dukes think is really far-reaching.

"My lord, it's the best that I have already controlled the Nine Sides. Now my lord just needs to wait and see what happens, and wait for the Supreme Emperor to die. When the time comes, no matter if the Supreme Emperor is about to die, or the new emperor makes a sudden attack, the lord will be famous as a teacher." , follow the trend to take control of the government, and then as long as you take it slowly, within a year or two, you will be able to spread your power all over the world. At that time, the world will be settled." Fan Kang was completely excited at this time. He thought he would help Jia Ke to the throne. It must go through a lot of fighting. I didn't expect Jia Ke to be so scheming. He quietly controlled the elite of the world and solved the most difficult task of winning the throne. The rest are just side effects.

"Then what do you think I should do now?"

"My lord, just watch the changes and don't get involved. At this time, the old emperor has got the lord's plan, and he will definitely suppress the new emperor with tricks. As long as the lord responds from the side, the world should be peaceful in the next few years. My lord It’s good to continue to cultivate power.”

"As sir, let's stay put. I want to see how far the third prince can go." Jia Ke's mouth showed irony. From ancient times to the present, there has never been one who seized power without using weapons. The third prince wooed courtiers, but Forget about myself, who is in charge of military power, and don't know what hatred I have with him.

And now is not the time to take measures. Thinking about all aspects, my attention to myself has reached its peak.At this time, a little action may be known by others.

Besides, he doesn't need to take any action at all now. After the old emperor gets Jia Ke's plan, he will arrange everything properly and will not let his power be threatened in any way.

After Jia Ke sent Fan Kang away, she returned to the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion without any movement, and stayed at home with Qin Keqing for a few days in peace.

Although Jia Ke didn't act rashly, there is an undercurrent in the capital. Now it seems that everyone in the world knows that the emperor is going to abdicate, and the object of abdication is the third prince.I don't know who passed the news on.

So countless officials almost surrounded the third prince's mansion. The third prince didn't seem to get carried away now, but closed the gate of the mansion tightly and didn't receive any foreign guests, but this still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of these officials.

These people obviously couldn't see the third prince, so they found their own way, and went through the back door to get in touch with the housekeepers and eunuchs of the third prince's house.

And these housekeepers and eunuchs are not as witty as the third prince. Although they were a little cautious when they saw someone coming to curry favor with gifts, they didn't worry so much when they thought that the third prince would soon be in charge of the world. All of them are extremely arrogant. If the gifts given are too light or the grade of the officials is not high enough, they will never see them.

With the means of these slaves, the officials who came to give gifts not only did not flinch, but thought they had a way, they rushed forward one by one. Some officials even went bankrupt and wanted to see Xia Shouzhong, the chief eunuch of the Third Prince's Mansion.

This scene was clearly seen by the spies sent by Dai Quan who was hiding in the dark, so the news was continuously sent to the emperor.

The old emperor is still resting in the Kunning Palace, and now he seldom handles official duties, and all matters are handled by Jia Ke.But it doesn't mean that the old emperor has given up his control over the world.

The current old emperor has to read the information sent by Dai Quan every night, and then make detailed instructions.If there is anything wrong with the Military Aircraft Department, he will also pass down the order to let the Military Aircraft Department modify it according to his wishes immediately.

Now the emperor has learned about the situation of the third prince's mansion. Although the third prince did not meet these officials on the surface, in the emperor's eyes, it was just deception.
