In order to rush for time, Jia Lian took the lead in setting off back to Beijing before dawn the next morning.
Went back to Rongguo Mansion to make some simple preparations, then went straight to Zongren Mansion.
The so-called nobility ceremony is just a process led by officials at all levels of the clan's government. There are no overly complicated ceremonies and rituals.
I just need to go to Daming Palace in the middle to express my gratitude to my big boss and thank him for the meal...
"Have you finished taking care of your father's funeral?"
In the south study room, Emperor Ning Kang raised his head and looked at Jia Lian, who was standing with his hands lowered.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. All arrangements for Weichen's father's funeral were completed yesterday."
"That's good. Now that the food is ready, I'll go back and take office as soon as possible and take care of Xicheng for me!
Don't think that now that you have inherited the title of your predecessor, you can be rich and honorable, and enjoy wealth. If you dare to imitate your father and neglect your duties, hum...
You should know why I gave the word "Zhenyuan".
I might as well tell you that although the Tatars in the north do not dare to make trouble for the time being due to the power of our Wei army, news has come from the west that the various tribes in the West Sea are no longer restless and seem to have frequent secret contacts with the Oara and others in the north..."
When Jia Lian heard this, he immediately showed a look of righteous indignation and said hurriedly: "How dare you, a small country in the west, to be disrespectful to our country? I ask your majesty to send troops to destroy it. I am willing to be the vanguard."
"Reckless! Military and national affairs should not be tolerated as trivial matters. The court will judge this matter. The reason why I tell you this is just because I am afraid that some of your bloody nature will be corroded by high-ranking officials and nobles, and you will become a family that is not worthy of those dandies.
People who are like children.
You go back and continue to command the Army and Horse Division, and take care of those shrimp soldiers and crab generals first! In your free time, read more military books and learn how to defend the enemy and manage the army.
As long as you succeed in your studies, you won’t have to worry about not having the opportunity to make contributions in the future.”
Although Emperor Ning Kang's tone was not good, he still looked at Jia Lian with some appreciation.
In his eyes, military attachés and generals should have the character to be able to fight and dare to fight, which deepened his determination to train and promote Jia Lian.
Although he knows that the current shortcomings of the court are mainly domestic affairs. He also puts his main energy on reforming the New Deal, but it does not mean that he will completely emphasize civil affairs over military affairs.
It's just that things have priorities, and with the current national strength of the Wei Dynasty, they are not afraid of Xiaoxiao's prying eyes.
However, the country cannot endure the stability of the country for hundreds of years. Most of the generals in the army are rich and honorable. They rely on their old people and sell them. There are few who are good at conquering and fighting. There are few who are passionate.
If things continue like this, when there are no generals available, this dynasty will inevitably repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty.
Therefore, after the ills left over by the Emperor in his later years have been corrected, and the government has been clean and clear, the government is harmonious, the people live in peace, and the court is prosperous, then it is time to start clearing up the border troubles...
There was a faint flame in Emperor Ning Kang's eyes.
As an emperor in his prime, he naturally had the ambition to work hard to govern, enrich the country and open up new territories.
Although he is still taking the first step now, and because of the constraints of the Supreme Emperor and others, his first step is more difficult, but he knows that if he continues at this rate, sooner or later he will take over the power and dominate Yunei.
But this is not enough, he also wants to become a wise king who governs the world and a sage king who opens up new territories. At least, he is stronger than his father!
Therefore, he needs some young and capable ministers to assist him, rather than the group of old people in the court who only rely on their old age and talk about ancestral systems in his ears all day long...
His Highness Jia Lian did not dare to raise his head and look directly into Emperor Ning Kang's eyes, so naturally he could not guess what Emperor Ning Kang was thinking.
But this did not prevent him from maintaining his own character in front of Emperor Ning Kang.
He knew what kind of emperor Ning Kang was, so he could know what kind of ministers he needed.
But even if this was his inner plan, Jia Lian still felt a little grateful when he heard Emperor Ning Kang express his ardent hope for him without hesitation.
Although he jokingly called Emperor Ning Kang his boss, this boss was different from the bosses of later generations.
As an emperor who is rich all over the world and sticks to his word, the pie he paints is generally not a pie. Because there are few people in the world who are worthy of the emperor's troubles.
Therefore, when Jia Lian thanked the emperor for his kindness and praised his saintliness, he could not help but feel a little more sincere.
"Okay, don't forget what I said, go down."
"Yes, Wei Chen resigns."
…
After completing all the procedures, it was almost noon when we returned to Rongguo Mansion.
Wang Xifeng, who had already returned home, was looking forward to it. When she heard that Jia Lian was coming back, she hurriedly arranged for lunch to be served while leading Ping'er, Xiangling and others to wait at home.
When Jia Lian arrived home, he walked out of the room and said, "I'm very happy, sir. Thank you for your hard work, sir. I've already ordered someone to prepare a banquet. I wonder if your sir may give me the honor?"
As he spoke, he looked up at Jia Lian and saw that he had indeed changed into a black robe embroidered with gold patterns, showing his dignity and beauty. The smile in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.
Jia Lian watched Wang Xifeng pretending to be a servant, which was also very impressive, and finally understood why Jia Mu liked her.
This phoenix girl is annoying when she hates her, and she is lovable when she is lovable!
So there was a smile on his face, he didn't say anything, he just walked forward and stretched out an arm.
Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, but she reacted quickly. She rolled her eyes at Jia Lian, then she bent down and picked up Jia Lian's arm. She said "please" and helped Jia Lian into the house.
When the maids and women nearby saw this, they couldn't hide their laughter.
The second master and the second grandma are so interesting. Isn’t this the proper posture of an old eunuch in the palace supporting the imperial concubine...
"Pfft, okay, stop making trouble and watch the girls laugh."
After entering the room, Wang Xifeng saw that Jia Lian was still holding the bag, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Jia Lian then shook off his sleeves, retracted his arms, and said with a smile: "Isn't this just because the second grandma has the talent to be a slave, so I'm giving you a chance to have a good time."
Wang Xifeng frowned slightly and snorted softly.
It's rare for ghosts to have this talent, it's just to make you laugh.
Because he was sitting opposite Jia Lian, and after the girls were serving tea and kowtowing, he asked Jia Lian about today's process.
Jia Lian also briefly talked to her.
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "You are becoming more and more powerful now. First you wore a general's armor, then you wore an official uniform, and now you wear a noble uniform. If this continues, our small house will not even be able to fit your clothes in the future.
Already."
Wang Xifeng's words were simply a sigh of relief. Jia Lian had too many uniforms!
The key is, every set is so handsome and beautiful.
"Since you can't fit it in, just set aside a separate room to store clothes. Not only mine, but when your order is sealed, you can also make two sets of decent dresses."
Wang Xifeng looked bright when she heard this, "Have you already handed it over?"
"Submitted it, it will take at least a few days, or at most half a month, and the government will get a reply."
Even though Wang Xifeng forced herself to stay calm, she couldn't help but want to rub her hands happily at this moment.
The wish I have had for many years is about to become a reality. The excitement involved cannot be understood unless I have experienced it.
"Don't be too busy being happy, just talk about it, how can you thank me?"
Jia Lian knew that Wang Xifeng wanted to be the imperial wife and was going crazy. How could he not take the opportunity to make a request at this moment? Because he picked up Wang Xifeng's jade hand that had nowhere to rest, held her and stood in front of him, and asked with a smile.
"When a man succeeds in his family, it's his duty to have a wife and a wife. How do you want me to thank you..."
Wang Xifeng was rarely shy, but her thoughts were not confused and she did not want to sign an unequal treaty casually.
Next to him, Ping'er saw that the atmosphere between his master and his grandmother had changed a bit. He glanced at Xiangling in the room and invited her to go out with him.
