Jia Rong sat downstairs and talked. The expression on the old lady's face kept changing.
"There is only one chance, once it is leaked there is basically no chance of a second chance!"
"The courtiers who oppose the one whip law will not give us a chance, and those who support the one whip law will be even less likely to let us come out on top!"
"Nowadays, as long as the goal can be achieved, they don't care who takes the lead, but can we miss the opportunity?"
Seeing that Jia Rong's words had come to an end, the old lady's expression was not very good, and she said in a deep voice: "Brother Rong, you always talk about good opportunities. Is it a good thing to be a first-timer? This is the first time I have heard this!"
"Old lady, to put it bluntly, given our embarrassing situation, how many chances do we have to stand out?"
Jia Rong was not angry, and told a cruel fact in a calm tone: "If you don't seize the opportunity firmly, how can you take advantage of it?"
"Total of our families, only Uncle Lin Ruhai is a senior official of third rank or above. Is this normal?"
"If we don't take the risk now when we want to make a difference, when will Wang Ziteng be able to enter the third rank, and when will Uncle Zhou be able to enter the third rank?"
"There is also Aunt Yuanchun in the palace. If we tribesmen are not able to help outside, does she still want to go further in the harem?"
The words were so shocking that at least the pardon master and the second master Zheng were filled with excitement, and their faces were full of excitement.
As for the old lady, her face was as dark as water and she was unmoved.
After waiting for a moment, she said coldly: "You are talking about the benefits, but do you know the possible serious consequences?"
"The risk is so high, you didn't even say hello in advance!"
"The most it can do is to be beaten back to its original shape, what else can it do?"
Seeing the old lady behaving like this, Jia Rong was too lazy to talk nonsense and chuckled: "I should continue to be an official, but I'm just sitting on the bench!"
"With the momentum of our family, as long as the official position is not higher than the third rank, it will not have much effect on boosting the family's momentum!"
"Is it possible that those courtiers who are opposed to a whipping law still dare to force us to copy our family?"
Speaking of this, Lei Ran smiled and said: "If this is really the case, I'm afraid the entire Founding Group will be blown up!"
"Also, our family is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others. When the time comes, we will let those civil servants who have been proud for a long time feel what it feels like to be exterminated!"
"Don't civil servants all respect pure ministers? Then let them be true pure ministers, pure ministers without the burden of family and family!"
After saying that, he ignored the old lady's reaction and left.
"Brother Rong, don't be angry. The old lady has this temper and is used to being all over me!"
Master Pardon followed him out and said embarrassedly while sending Jia Rong out.
"It's okay, I don't mean to be angry!"
Jia Rong said with a smile: "I just think it's a little funny. Does the old lady think that good things can fall from the sky?"
"With our current strength, we may be relatively important chess pieces, but we are not even qualified to play chess!"
"If we were in the family's heyday, we would naturally be able to sit back and watch the changes in the court, catch up at the critical moment, and then seize the maximum benefits!"
"That's what we call stability. Not to mention there's no risk at all, at least it's within the range that the family can bear!"
After saying this, the pardoned master nodded repeatedly. This was how the Rong Mansion acted when his father was in charge.
"Right now, if I don't destroy my family's prestige, my family's right to speak is indeed not as good as before. At this time, we must take the initiative to change the way we play!"
"I don't know whether the old lady is being arrogant or whether she thinks the royal family is incapable of detecting problems!"
"The Rong Mansion sent Aunt Yuanchun to the palace to fight, while at the same time asking me to marry the Qin family. This approach is still very dangerous!"
Having said this, he glanced at Master Pardon lightly.
At this time, the two of them were walking on the road outside the second gate of Rong Mansion. Except for a few personal followers, there was basically no one else approaching.
Even the few senior followers were basically ten steps away, and it was impossible to hear Jia Rong's whispers clearly.
Master Pardon paused, and his face instantly turned pale.
"Uncle, there is no need to worry, the royal family is well aware of this matter!"
"After all, the Qin family is just a concubine who has not been on a jade plate. The royal family still has the capacity to accommodate people!"
"As long as her life is safe and not in the hands of people in the mansion, it doesn't matter if she actively participates in certain things or not!"
"Who in the entire court doesn't know the ambition of Prince Yizhong?"
After saying these words, the great master broke out in a cold sweat after saying that he was pardoned. He didn't know how to answer the question for a moment. What Jia Rong said was too shocking.
"Uncle should know that there must be royal spies in the mansion, so it would be better to have less contact with Ping'an Prefecture!"
Mr. Pardon's psychological quality is very average. His words directly disturbed his mind. At this time, he must be full of fear and uneasiness, right?
To be honest, none of the masters in the Rong Mansion, except for the pedantic and unconventional political master, can save fuel.
The old lady put her hope of restoring the family's glory in Yuan Chun, who entered the palace and worked hard.
This is understandable, as many noble families do this.
But the problem is that the old lady was having such a smooth time that she actually stepped into two different boats and defected to the present day openly, while secretly she was hooking up with Prince Yizhong.
That is to say, the old lady has been living in seclusion for many years, and has basically withdrawn from the top social circles in the capital. She is as inconspicuous as a transparent person.
Otherwise, Rongfu would have already faced the current beating.
So what if the emperor restrains him? Isn't it just a joke to attack the Rong Mansion, which has completely declined?
If he were to be more ruthless and directly give Yuanchun to Prince Yi Zhong and completely bind the Rong Mansion to the bastard who deposed the prince, unless a miracle really happened, the outcome would definitely not be much better.
As for Mrs. Wang, because of her experience, she wanted to entrust all the resources of Rong Mansion to her brother Wang Ziteng.
She relied on her mother's family's reputation to gain a foothold in Rongfu.
When she became the director of the family, Wang Ziteng was her strongest supporter.
It is estimated that Mrs. Wang has a deep understanding in her heart. If she wants to continue to dominate the palace, Wang Ziteng's support is indispensable.
Anyway, she will not change her mind towards her parents' family until her eldest son Jia Zhu gives her enough feedback.
It’s no wonder that during the twenty years she has been in charge of the family, the originally extremely generous public property of Rong Mansion has been reduced to the point where it cannot make ends meet, and she has to find a way to give it to her niece Wang Xifeng to top the vat...
In the story of Red Mansions, the inexplicable connection between Master Pardon and Ping'an Prefecture has always been a mystery.
Where is Ping'an Prefecture, the home base of the deposed prince's remnants.
If you put it this way, is Master Pardon a member of the deposed prince’s lineage?
But in fact, it's not!
As far as Jia Rong knew, there was basically no contact between the pardoned master and the deposed prince.
Maybe, his performance is too bad and people look down on him.
As for the secret connection between Mr. Pardon and Ping'an Prefecture, Jia Rong guessed that some of the secret powers of Rong Mansion were involved.
Otherwise, if the great wealth of the pardoned master is used to support certain relationship management, it will not be used up even if it is used in a lifetime.
After all, Mr. Pardon completely inherited all the private houses of the first-generation Duke Rong and his wife, as well as more than 60% of the private houses of the second-generation Duke Rong.
That was as much wealth as gold and silver. The first generation of Rong Guogong and his wife were extraordinary heroes who came out of the war. The good things they looted privately may not even be less than those of the royal family.
As for the second generation of Rongguo Gong, Mr. Pardon and his biological father, he was also a ruthless man who had been stationed at the border for decades and plundered countless wealth from the grassland barbarians.
The reason why the old lady is so awesome is not only because of her noble status, but also because her private property is quite rich, which makes Mrs. Wang and Master Pardon jealous.
Ordinarily, Master Pardon's private house is definitely much richer than that of the old lady, so there is no need to be envious.
But the fact is that in the middle and later stages of The Story of Red Mansions, Master Pardon began to target Yuanyang, the eldest maid around the old lady. Wasn’t the purpose of the old lady’s private house?
There is only one possibility. The Pardon Master secretly needs to pay a lot of money for the project, and he has to spend money continuously, which is almost all his money.
In addition to being the home base of the deposed prince's remnants, Ping'an Prefecture is also a relatively important border town.
There are many border troops stationed there, as well as countless doorways.
If the secret power of Rong Mansion were placed in Ping'an Prefecture, it would be difficult for others to detect it.
Even if they secretly maintain thousands of elite troops, as long as a sufficiently concealed logistics base is set up in the rolling mountains and forests outside Ping'an Prefecture, there will be no problem at all.
Of course, raising an army is quite expensive, which can also explain the reason why Mr. Pardon's personal property was quickly depleted.
Sure enough, Jia Rong just mentioned it lightly, and Master Pardon was so frightened that he subconsciously spilled the beans: "Brother Rong, that is a secret base in the government, and it must be maintained with money!"
Look, a noble person is a noble person. Even though Mr. Pardon is so unreliable, he has been secretly training elite troops to prepare for emergencies.
I believe that the old lady should have such a secret power in her hands.
However, she can use the resources of the entire Rong Mansion to support her, so she doesn't need to pay from her own private house at all.
Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Wang have not received the necessary heir training, so they should know nothing about these things.
In other words, Mr. Pardon is really a loser, or he has lost the energy to compete for the position of the head of the Rong Mansion. Otherwise, Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Wang really can't afford to do some dirty tricks.
The private fights in the inner house were much less brutal and bleak than the bloody swords and guns outside.
"Can uncle really feel at ease if it is left in Ping'an Prefecture?"
Since the Pardon Master told the truth, Jia Rong naturally would not say nothing at all, but asked: "After a long time, will it become a wedding dress for others?"
The Pardon Master was trembling, and he pondered for a moment and affirmed: "They are all taken by loyal people, so there won't be any problems in a short time!"
Having said this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Of course, it will be hard to say if the loyal person in charge of the situation dies after a long time!"
Jia Rong didn't answer, that's exactly what happened in the story of Red Mansions.
In the end, the Rong Mansion was raided, and Master Sheda and Lian Er were sentenced to exile. As a result, Master Sheda died tragically on the way.
As long as there are three or five people who have spent a lot of money and money to train, they still remember the kindness of their benefactor and come forward to help. Not to mention robbing people halfway, they will learn from Lu Zhishen and make the pardon master safe along the way.
When escorted to the place of exile, there is a high chance that Mr. Pardon will not die miserably on the way.
Obviously, later on, either the Pardon Master could no longer afford the staggering expenses of secretly training manpower, or the manpower had changed hands.
Master Pardon should have known this well, otherwise his tone would not have been so hesitant when he said this.
It's understandable, after all, the Pardon Master doesn't have any manpower and rushes to Ping'an Prefecture to take charge of the overall situation. As time goes by, everything may change.
"Uncle, if you want to firmly control a group of elite personnel, listen to me and raise a polo team!"
Jia Rong didn't say much, just gave a gentle reminder, and then left Rong Mansion with a quick stride.
Why is the Polo League so popular?
In addition to the good-looking game, good organization and good publicity, and making the plate big enough, there is an obvious benefit of hiding soldiers.
As long as the polo team is powerful enough, as long as it is equipped with armor and weapons, it will become the most elite cavalry team.
It is no exaggeration at all that, with a side response, a cavalry team armed with an elite polo team is enough to capture a city gate.
Even the royal family knew these inside stories, but they had a tacit understanding and did not take the initiative to expose them.
Take a look at the strong teams in the Polo League. Each one is built with heavy investment, not just for entertainment.
If it really comes to a critical moment, you can immediately become the best helper to reverse the situation or run for your life.
The same is true. All the top teams in the Polo League are quite feared.
The Ningfu Polo Team has been a top team since the Polo League was officially established.
What's even more exaggerated is that the main players of the Ningfu Polo Team are very mobile, but the combat effectiveness of the entire polo team is still strong. This is amazing.
In other words, the Ning Mansion has the ability to continuously cultivate elite cavalry, and they are also aboveboard.
Why did Ning Fu become a core member of the Founding Group so easily? In addition to being able to make money, the hard power at hand was also one of the main reasons.
With enough powerful force in hand, others would not dare to kill Ning Mansion easily, otherwise they may not be able to withstand Ning Mansion's crazy counterattack.
It's ridiculous. Not once did Jia Rong remind the Rongfu bosses that they need to organize Rongfu's own polo team. It's not just a matter of face competing for ranking in the polo league, but sometimes it's really not his fault...
