The eldest son of the red mansion

Under the leadership of the city gate officials, Liu Yu went to the Jiedushi's mansion. The road was unimpeded and soon entered the Jiedushi's mansion.

Liu Yuzai entered the hall under the leadership of the Jiedu envoy's personal soldiers, and as soon as he entered, he saw Wang Tao had been waiting there for a long time.

Wang Tao met Liu Yu a few times, and when he saw that it was him, he didn't talk nonsense, so he asked directly: "When was Kaipingwei captured? How is Jia Ke's current situation? Can he regain his strength?"

When Liu Yu heard Wang Tao's question, he knew that Kaiping Wei would be conquered.

Liu Yu quickly knelt down on the ground, holding Jia Ke's military letter to Wang Tao and said: "I report to the Jiedu envoy that Kaiping guards defeated the Tatars two days ago, beheaded 3000 and 600 people, and captured [-] people. Wei Qianhu Jia Ke ordered him to come here to report victory to Lord Jiedu."

After hearing what he said, Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, and instead of answering the military report, he asked, "You said it was the victory of Kaiping and Wei? Wasn't it conquered?"

Liu Yu held up the emergency military report that Jia Ke ordered him to send, and said to Wang Tao with certainty: "Two days ago when I opened the Pingwei, I fought with six thousand Tatars in the plains and defeated them. This is our emergency army of thousands of households." Report, please take a look."

Hearing what Liu Yu said, Wang Tao was sure. He grabbed the military information and watched it carefully in the lobby. What the military newspaper said was almost the same as what Liu Yu reported just now.

After reading Jia Ke's military newspaper, Wang Tao couldn't help but be overjoyed. With this great victory, his position as Jiedushi was preserved.But he is deeply cautious. If he does not conduct any investigations, he will directly report his merits to the higher authorities. If there is a mistake at that time, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

So Wang Tao immediately calmed down and asked someone to take Liu Yu down to rest first.Then he ordered people to hear Wu Li, the chief secretary of the Jiedu envoy's mansion, and Gao Hong, the military sacrificial wine. These two have always been Wang Tao's right-hand men.

After a while, the two rushed over, and when they saw Wang Tao, they immediately saluted and said: "I have seen Lord Jiedushi."

Wang Tao waved his hands and said to them: "They are all from our own family, so don't use these vain rituals. Come here quickly and I have something to help me with."

Wu Li and Gao Hong came to Wang Tao's side, and Gao Hong said to Wang Tao with a smile: "My lord, we don't blame many people, if we offend you one day, we won't be caught by you. "

Wang Tao pointed at him with a smile and said, "You hozen have so many eyes, I'm afraid the hair on your body is empty."

Wu Li has always been a serious person. Seeing that they were very interested in talking and joking at this time, he said to them angrily: "My lord, what time is it now that you still have the heart to talk and joke? If there is something important, please bring the two of us together. Hurry up and tell them." Otherwise, I have other things to do."

Only then did Wang Tao say angrily: "It's Gao Hong who made me laugh when he came here. Okay, let's not talk about it. Now it's time to talk about serious things."

After finishing speaking, let the two of them sit down, then took out Kaiping Wei Jia Ke's military newspaper and handed it to them for them to read.

After the two had read it all, they asked, "What do you two think, is this Jia Ke lying about the military situation?"

Gao Hong first said: "I don't think Jia Ke is that courageous. I'm afraid the Tatars withdrew their troops because they couldn't attack Kaipingwei for a long time. That's why there was such an exaggerated military report."

Wu Li added: "If Lord Gao said so, it should be that his family has put in a lot of effort, otherwise he would not have been able to defend Kaipingwei."

Wang Tao said to them: "This Jia Ke is a descendant of the Rongguo Mansion. The deceased Rong Guogong has some prestige in the army. I am afraid that the Rongguo Mansion has arranged many capable people to help him this time."

Gao Hong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That must be the reason. It seems that the Rongguo Mansion has spent a lot of energy in cultivating this young man."

Wu Li still followed his words and added: "The Rongguo Mansion has declined so badly in the past few years, I'm afraid they want to rise again by virtue of their military exploits."

Wang Tao felt that what the two said was reasonable, and I'm afraid that was the truth. It seemed that the two also felt that beheading 3000 and [-] levels was too exaggerated.

Wang Tao then asked the two of them, "Then what do you think we should do with this Jia Ke?"

Wu Li said with a sullen face, "This Jia Ke and others lied about the military situation. Not punishing them severely is not enough to enforce the law of the army. At the very least, we need to beat him with thirty army sticks as an example to others."

Gao Hong objected: "No, although Jia Ke's military report is not true, he has made great achievements in defending Kaipingwei and forcing the Tatars to withdraw. Although there is suspicion of exaggeration, in other military forts, successive losses Now, he can defend Kaipingwei, protect the rear of Kaipingwei, and keep the plain for hundreds of miles, this small flaw is nothing."

Wu Li said angrily: "Could it be that this is why he messed around like this. If everyone learns from him in the future, will military law and military discipline still exist?"

Hearing Wu Li's objection, Gao Hong also thought it made sense. After thinking for a while, he said to Wang Tao: "Why don't we send people to Kaipingwei in the name of checking the leader to verify the real situation of Kaipingwei, and then find out who he is. If you falsely report military merits, just reprimand him face to face and teach him some lessons. Then your lord will reward him with real military merits, and he will not have any resentment. Isn’t this the best way to achieve the best of both worlds?”

Hearing what he said, Wang Tao thought it was very reasonable, because he looked up at Wu Li and saw that he did not object.Then he decided: "That's it." Then he asked Gao Hong: "Who do you think is more appropriate?"

Gao Hong said to Wang Tao with a smile: "I'm afraid I have to trouble our Master Wu to go there."

Wang Tao also laughed, and said: "It's just right for him to go. I'm afraid others will go, and they won't be able to deter this kid."

Wu Li said solemnly: "If I go, I will definitely find out the facts, and I will not be in vain or indulge."

Wang Tao was afraid that he would be too straightforward, so after he left, he punished Jia Ke regardless of his military merits, and told him: "After you go, find out the facts first. As for the difference between the military reports, you can only reprimand him." As for him, there should be no other actions, after all, he still has meritorious service, then come back and report the details to me."

Wu Li cupped his hands and said to Wang Tao: "Don't worry, my lord. I still know the overall situation. How can I punish the hero for a small mistake."

Only then did Wang Tao feel relieved, and ordered him to return to Kaipingwei with Liu Yu, who came to report the letter.

Chapter 89 Go to

The next day, Wang Tao met Liu Yu again in the flower hall of the Jiedu Ambassador's Mansion, accompanied by the chief secretary Wu Li.

Wang Tao said directly to Liu Yu: "You Kaipingwei, I read the battle report you reported to me. I still don't believe it, so I sent someone to verify it. The person next to you is my chief bookkeeper Wu Li. Send him back with you. Check the head and record the military achievements. If all the facts are in line with the military report. This time the credit is indispensable to you. If you lie about your military achievements, you will be dealt with by military law. Do you understand?"

Liu Yu respectfully said to Wang Tao: "I understand everything my lord said, but our military achievements in Kaipingwei are real, and the Jiedu envoy sent someone to inspect it to prove that our military achievements are real. We naturally welcome it. I just don’t know when to start.”

Wang Tao said: "The military situation is urgent and there is no delay. You start now. Director Wu is my right-hand man and cannot be away for a long time. You should go and return early. After verifying the military merits, you and I can rest assured."

Liu Yu did not have any doubts about this, and said that he would completely obey the arrangements of Lord Jiedushi.

Wang Tao was quite satisfied with his attitude. Originally, he thought that Liu Yu was afraid that the lie about the military information would be exposed, so he had to shirk it.Now that Liu Yu had agreed, Wang Tao ordered the two of them to set off immediately so that he could know how Kaipingwei repelled the Tatars as soon as possible.

So in the morning, Liu Yu rode a horse, Wu Li took a few guards in a car, and immediately set off to Kaipingwei. Xiaoxing stayed overnight along the way, and was careful. He was really afraid of being harassed by Tatars on the road, but he did not Not meeting any Tatars made Wu Li feel more fond of Jia Ke in his heart.Although he was suspected of being a leader of the army, at least they kept the Tatars out of Kaipingwei, and they were kind to the people hundreds of miles behind.

Liu Yu and Wu Li walked for three or four days before reaching Kaipingwei.Entering Kaipingwei from the south gate, Wu Li opened the car window and looked out, and found that the market was very bustling.Without the depression after the war, it seems that people's hearts are very stable.

When Liu Yu and Wu Li arrived at the gate of Qianhu Mansion, Liu Yu got off his horse first, and then told the soldiers at the gate to come out to greet Jia Ke quickly, saying that he was the chief secretary of the Jiedu envoy's mansion, and came to inspect his military achievements.

Hearing what Liu Yu said, the soldier immediately went into the inner house to report to Jia Ke.Wu Li also got out of the car and waited for Jia Ke at the door. Soon he heard footsteps, and Wu Li saw a young man running out from inside.Wu Li knew that Jia Ke was very young, and he thought this was Kaiping Wei Qianhu.

Jia Ke hurried to the door and saw a middle-aged scribe standing next to Liu Yu. He had a broad forehead and a pair of thick eyebrows.His face was very dull, like a taut drum skin.

Jia Ke had just received the report, and knew that this was the master recorder who had come to examine his military achievements, so he didn't dare to offend him.So he hurried forward, bowed to salute him, and said humbly: "It turned out that the Master Registrar came, but the younger generation came late to greet him. Please forgive me, Master Registrar."

Wu Li saw that although Jia Ke was young, he was well mannered, not as arrogant and domineering as the children of ordinary families.His favorability has risen again.

Wu Li stepped forward to help Jia Ke up and said, "Jia Qianhu fought for the country and fought off the Tatars. I have done a lot of hard work. I am a frail scholar, how dare I accept your gift?"

After hearing Wu Li's words, Jia Ke became more respectful, and saluted again: "Mr. is studying the knowledge of sages. When I was at home, I also studied the scriptures and articles, and studied for a while under the admiration of famous teachers. It's just because I have limited qualifications. I deeply regret not being able to get ahead in the imperial examinations, but when I saw such a learned man as my husband, I felt close to him unconsciously, as if I saw my teacher again."

Wu Li heard that Jia Ke also studied under a famous teacher, so he couldn't help being interested.Then he asked him who was the tall man and sat down.

Jia Ke quickly replied, "My teacher is in the first class, No. 5 in the second class, and his surname is Li Wenbin. He is now walking in the household department."

Wu Li thought about it carefully, and he really remembered that there was such a person, who was said to be in charge of Shaanxi money and food in the household department.Quite a few achievements.

As soon as Wu Li heard that he was his disciple, who also came from the imperial examination, he felt a little warmer, knowing that he was not a pure martial artist, but just abandoned his pen to fight, and he could be regarded as a half-Confucian.No wonder he knows how to behave so well. He originally wanted to give him an insult first, but now that he is so respectful, it is unnecessary.

Jia Ke introduced Wu Li to the lobby of the Kaiping Mansion, and invited Wu Li to take a seat. Although Wu Li was willing in his heart, he couldn't tell the truth, so he said that in the lobby of Kaipingwei, only Jia Ke, the chief official, could sit. How could he, a civil servant, sit? Such a position?

How could Jia Ke dare to sit in front of him at the moment, he kept giving way and insisted on asking Wu Li to sit at the head seat.

Wu Li couldn't put it off, no matter how much he thought about it, he thought he was Jia Ke's superior.So he went along with the flow and took the lead.

Jia Ke bowed and stood beside him in the hall, but it was not because Jia Ke had much respect for Wu Li in his heart.It's just that the king of hell is easy to see, and the little devil is difficult to deal with.The Jiedu envoy Wang Tao may still be jealous of the power of Jia, Wang, Shi, and Xue, and give him some face, but these little devils under him, as long as they do Jia Ke a little bit of bad, they may make Jia Ke Great merit becomes small merit, and minor merit becomes useless. At that time, no merit is a fault.This is also Jia Ke's last life, summarizing some small personal experiences.
