Although Sun Yan has expressed his support to Jia Ke, Jia Ke still doesn't believe him. This man betrayed once, who knows if he will betray again.

In the following period, the capital became increasingly calm. The turmoil of the past few days seemed to have never happened. Now there are still people coming and going, and traffic is busy.

But Jia Ke is now busy with the aftermath. Although the rebellion has been subsided, many people died in the battle in the capital. Most of these people were once common people in the capital. If they are not appeased for a while, the hatred in the capital will

There are many people in Jia Ke.

Therefore, during this period, Jia Ke gave all the able-bodied men who were injured or killed in the capital a pension according to the treatment of soldiers who died in battle.

Moreover, he ordered the Daolu Department to hold water and land dharma meetings several times to save the souls of those who died in the war. Jia Ke even attended in person to pray for these souls.

Brother Jia sat down with this look and finally comforted the family members of those who died in the battle in the capital.

People in other capitals also believed that Jia Ke had done something benevolent and righteous. These people who died in the battle were all involved in the rebellion. Jia Ke not only ignored the blame and gave them compensation, but also held a water and land ceremony for them. This was common in every dynasty and generation.

It can be said that benevolence comes first.

Jia Ke returned to Qianqing Palace after attending the Water and Land Dharma Assembly. As soon as he entered the palace, he lay on the bed and didn't want to move.

Shao Yuan and Liu Xuan realized that Jia Ke was tired and rushed over to serve him. Li Deshan stood aside and could not intervene.

While Shao Yuan was changing Jia Ke's clothes, she asked Li Deshan who was standing aside, "Why is our master so tired? You don't know how to wait around."

Li Deshan didn't dare to offend these two girls now. He knew in his heart that as long as the old lady came back from Mount Wutai, these two girls would definitely become Jia Ke's concubines, and they would also be a thousand-year-old empress in the future.

"Okay my little master, today I am offering sacrifices to the souls of those who died in battle, slave. How can I rely on my status?"

Liu Xuan took a wet towel from the maid next to her, wiped Jia Ke's face herself, and then asked as if nothing had happened: "The old lady has been gone for a while, right? She should be in the capital soon, right?"

What Liu Xuan said reminded Jia Ke. He turned around and asked Li Deshan, "Where is the old lady?"

Li Deshan quickly returned: "We should be arriving in Baoding soon."

Jia Ke thought for a moment, and then said: "Let me know in advance when the old lady arrives in Beijing, and I will go to greet you personally."

Li Deshan quickly agreed and kept this in mind.

And now those people from Rongguo Mansion have almost arrived in the capital, and now they are only about ten miles away from Baoding Mansion.

The servants at the front have already conveyed the news to the prefect of Baoding Prefecture, asking them to prepare accommodation and meals for the people of Jia Mansion.

And Wang An, the prefect of Baoding Prefecture, is also very knowledgeable. He knows that Jia Ke is now very powerful and has almost suppressed the Huang family to the point where they can no longer raise their heads. When they return to the capital, not many of the Huang family members are left.

, then these family members of Jia Ke will naturally be the future relatives of the emperor.

How could Wang An dare to neglect him? After he summoned the wealthy businessmen of Baoding, he asked them to choose a place for Jia Ke's family members to settle down.

These wealthy businessmen were also sincere in their flattery, so they vacated the house of Li Quan'an, the richest man in the city, and sent all the most famous chefs in the city to Li Quan'an's house for the use of these nobles.

Wang An was still uneasy, so he personally took people to the house to check several times, and found that there were no omissions, so he felt relieved.

Wang An then notified the local general and asked him to send some soldiers to surround the house, fearing that some children would come to cause trouble.

Next, Wang An took all the city officials and wealthy merchants and gentry ten miles away from the city and waited in Changting.

They had been out since the morning, and it was almost noon when they saw smoke and dust rising in front of them, and the people from the Jia Mansion arrived.

When Wang An saw the people coming, he quickly trotted forward and reached the front of the team.

When the officers and soldiers in front saw a man in official uniform running towards him, they did not dare to neglect him and hurriedly separated a few people to block him.

"What does this gentleman do for you?"

Wang An wiped the sweat from his head, then raised his hands to the soldier and said, "Are these the thousand-year-old family members of King Yan?"

When the soldier heard this question, he frowned and put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.

"Why do you ask?"

Wang An was already wary when he saw this soldier, and hurriedly said with a smile: "This little brother, I am the prefect of Baoding Prefecture. I heard that the thousand-year-old family of King Yan passed by Baoding Prefecture, so I specially waited for him again."

The soldier looked Wang An up and down again, then put his hand down from the hilt of the knife, and said to him: "It turns out to be the magistrate. I am ignorant of Mount Tai. Please forgive me."

Wang An stood there and kept saying "I don't dare".

The soldier bowed his hand to Wang Angong again, and then seemed to reply later.

After a while, the soldier came to Wang An again and said, "Your Excellency, please come over and give me your reply."

Then the soldier led the way, and Wang An followed him to a carriage. Sitting in the carriage was a middle-aged scholar.

Wang An didn't know who the other party was, but he knew in his heart that it wouldn't be weird if there were too many people, so he bowed to the ground and said respectfully: "Wang An, the magistrate of Baoding Prefecture, has met this noble man."

The middle-aged scholar in the car also quickly got out of the car and helped Wang An up.

"Master Wang, please don't be too polite. If you come down in a hurry, please forgive me, Master Wang."

"Wherever, it is our blessing for Baoding Prefecture to have noble people come."

After Wang An said these polite words, he quickly asked again: "I don't know if the noble man has a surname, or a low-ranking official should have a title."

"I dare not address you by your surname. My surname is Jia Mingzheng, and my given name is Cunzhou. Please give me some advice."

Since the prefect of Baoding Prefecture can serve as an official near the capital, he naturally knows the families of the princes and nobles in the court very clearly. What's more, people like Brother Jia naturally focus on inquiring. Now when he heard the name of the person in front of him, he immediately became confused.

Shocked.

I saw him immediately kneeling to the ground again, "It turns out to be the old prince, please forgive me for not knowing, and don't blame me."

When had Jia Zheng been treated like this before? He felt very satisfied when the other person immediately fell to his knees upon hearing his name and called him "Old Prince".

But Jia Zheng still cares about face. When he saw the other person kneeling down to him, he quickly helped him up again.

"My lord, you don't have to be like this. It's just that the dog has some abilities. I'm just a small fifth-rank official. I can't deserve such a great gift from your lord."

Although Wang An, the prefect, heard Jia Zheng's humility, he did not dare to be rude in any way. He could only stand beside Jia Zheng and listen to what he said.

Jia Zheng has become accustomed to fawning over these officials along the way. It was okay at first, but after a while, after the news came that Jia Ke was crowned King of Yan in the capital, these people became even more disgusting.

.

While they were talking here, they saw another horse coming next to them, and sitting on it was a young man who was about to be in his twenties.

The young man got off his horse, came to Jia Zheng's side, and then said to Jia Zheng: "The old lady asked me to ask you, why did the team stop?"

After hearing this, Jia Zheng hurriedly said to this person: "Go back to the old lady and tell me that the prefect of Baoding, the King, has come to greet you with all the civil and military officials and gentry in the city."

After hearing this, the young master quickly saluted Jia Zheng, then remounted his horse, and soon reached the rear.

Wang An stood aside and watched, because his welcoming team had stopped, and he quickly said: "I am too reckless. I asked the old prince to take the troops and enter the city now. I have already arranged a residence in the city.

Prepare for the old prince to settle down."

At this time, the young master came back and said to Jia Zheng again: "The old lady is a little tired and wants to go to the city to rest."

Jia Zheng stopped talking after hearing this, got on the carriage again, and then said to Wang An: "Please lead the way, sir."

When Wang An heard Jia Zheng's instructions, he was immediately happy, with a smile on his face. This kind of thing of currying favor with Jia Ke fell into his hands.

So Wang An neither rode a horse nor sat in a sedan chair, and just led the way in front of him.

Although Wang An didn't care about the temporary trouble for his future prospects, and other officials could endure it in order to curry favor with Jia Ke, the gentry and wealthy people couldn't stand it anymore. How could these people have gone such a long way?

After entering the city from a long pavilion ten miles outside the city, they were handed over to the house arranged by Jia Zheng and others. The journey was very difficult for these people. When they arrived at the door, they were all disheveled and their faces were dusty.

Like a pampered old man.

When Jia Zheng saw the appearance of these people, he once asked them to ride horses and sedans several times on the road. There was no need to do this.

But Wang An refused to say anything. When the officials below saw their superiors acting like this, they dared not ride on horseback or sit in sedan chairs, so they could only endure it with all their strength, not to mention those who were rich and powerful.

When we arrived at the gate, we saw that although the gate of this house was not as brilliant as that of Rongguo Mansion, it looked like it occupied a large area. It was not an ordinary place.

Jia Zheng got out of the car first and exchanged compliments with these officials.

At this time, Jia She also came to Jia Zheng. Seeing that Jia Zheng was still chatting with these people, he was a little unhappy.

"Come on, come on, I'm starving to death, why are you chatting here?"

Wang An saw that although the man who came had a good appearance, he had dark circles under his eyes and a pale face. He looked like a drunkard and a womanizer. In addition, he dared to talk to Jia Zheng like this, so he knew that he was also a great person in Rongguo Mansion.

People, so he quickly stepped forward and bowed to greet him.

Jia She was tired of being complimented by these officials along the way. Without looking at him, he said directly to Jia Zheng: "Hurry up, don't be idle."

Seeing Jia She's unreasonable behavior, Jia Zheng had no choice but to apologize to Wang An first, and then introduced Jia She's identity to Wang An. Only then did Wang An realize that the man standing in front of him was Jia Zheng's brother. No wonder he dared to be so arrogant.
