After listening to the emperor's instructions, Jia Ke quickly knelt on the ground to thank the Lord for his kindness. After thanking the emperor for his kindness, Jia Ke remembered one more thing. This matter must be addressed in advance. He didn't want the emperor to blame him later, and he would not be able to bear the burden and walk around.
That is the matter of the prince. The prince has paid his dues this time, but it depends on the emperor's will on how to deal with it in the future, whether to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, or to be imprisoned for the rest of his life.
"Your Majesty, I don't know how the prince will be dealt with for the time being. Whether he will be sent back to the East Palace or imprisoned in the imperial city." Jia Ke asked cautiously.
When the emperor heard that Jia Ke asked about the prince, his veins were exposed and his face was ferocious. If there was a trace of father-son affection before, now he completely hates the prince. He thinks that his worsening condition is entirely the prince's fault.
The reason. If he hadn't suddenly rebelled and caused himself to faint several times, he wouldn't be lying in bed dealing with national affairs now.
So the emperor said angrily: "What else can I say to this traitor? He still wants to return to the East Palace to enjoy the blessings, so he is imprisoned in the palace corridor. He is only allowed to have two meals a day, and no one is allowed to visit." Finally, he thought about it.
, has been imprisoned in the palace, and it is difficult for Jia Ke to deal with it, so he added: "Let Dai Quan handle this matter."
Dai Quan quickly agreed at the side. Now he also wanted to eat the prince's flesh. He almost died. A few days ago when he was breaking out of the siege, he was shot with an arrow. Although it did not hit the vital point, the danger at that time made him
He was so scared that he lost his mind. Although the injury was bandaged and carefully treated by the imperial doctor, it still hurt slightly. He thought that he must serve the prince well this time. This matter will be in his hands, which is exactly what he wants.
Although he sent this hot potato away, Jia Ke felt that the emperor did not have murderous intentions for the prince. There was still a trace of father-son affection, so he stepped forward to persuade him: "Your Majesty, although the prince rebelled and caused turmoil in the capital, the prince
After all, he is the eldest son of the emperor. Since he has been imprisoned and punished, I would like to give him some preferential treatment in life."
After listening to Jia Ke's words, the emperor immediately felt angry and wanted to vent his anger. Suddenly he thought about the queen who died and told him what she had told him before her death. He couldn't help but feel a wave of cold water pouring over him.
All the anger was extinguished.
It can be said that the relationship between the emperor and the deceased Empress Yuan, who grew up together as childhood sweethearts, is completely different from that of the current empress. Before her death, the deceased Empress Yuan was still thinking about the prince, asking him to take care of him at all times, teach him everywhere, and also asked him to teach him in the future.
Please forgive me if I make any mistakes.
Thinking of this, the emperor frowned and relaxed, and said to Dai Quan next to him: "Although the prince is imprisoned, he has not been deposed as prince yet. Even if I depose him, he is still my son.
I must be lenient in my future life and not show any slightness."
After hearing what the emperor said, Dai Quan hurriedly smiled beside the emperor and said: "That's natural. After all, the prince is also the slave's master, and the slave has watched him grow up. How dare the slave treat the prince poorly?"
After the emperor told Dai Quan, he closed his eyes. He was indeed a little tired today. But he was thinking about Jia Ke's words. No matter what, he was still his son. Although he would imprison him, as a nobleman of the emperor,
Basic food and clothing should still be provided for him.
At the same time, the emperor's affection for Jia Ke became even greater. When the prince was at his most glorious, he did not join the prince and was loyal to himself. But when the prince was already imprisoned, he spoke for the prince. In fact, he just wanted to care about himself and himself.
The relationship between the prince and his son.
The emperor thought for a while and said to Jia Ke, who was still standing aside: "You have time. Go and see the prince on my behalf. Don't let the servants below do anything excessive to him."
After hearing the emperor's words, Jia Ke quickly raised his hands and said: "I obey the emperor's order, I will definitely visit the prince if I have time."
The emperor nodded happily and said to Dai Quan next to him: "Give Jia Aiqing a token to enter and exit the palace."
After listening to the emperor's words, Dai Quan carefully exited the palace, and soon walked in with a wooden box. Then he opened the wooden box and found a brass token inside, which was then delivered to Jia Ke.
Jia Ke thanked the emperor before accepting the token. He knew that this was the emperor's greatest trust in him. To be honest, he was a little grateful to the emperor now.
So Jia Ke left the palace with the imperial edict stamped with the treasure of controlling the six divisions and the ban on entering and exiting the palace. As for the prince's affairs, he didn't need to worry about it. Go and have a look at him when you have time, and don't let him suffer those things.
As long as the slaves are bothered, other matters cannot be decided by his ministers.
Jia Ke went directly back to the Infantry Commander's Office with the imperial edict. Jia Ke decided to temporarily use this place as his office. After all, this had always been the place where the soldiers and horses of the capital issued orders. Now it makes sense for Jia Ke to work here.
After Jia Ke arrived at the infantry commander's yamen, he immediately ordered his own soldiers to clear out everyone in the yamen, and then replaced them with the chief clerk of his own army.
The first thing to do next was to summon all the military commanders near the capital to come to see him, announce to them the emperor's imperial edict, and control all the troops and horses inside and outside the capital.
When Jia Ke sent out messengers to summon the generals, Jia Ke first called a few of his close confidants. These people had been following Jia Ke since Kaiping Guards. It can be said that they were devoted to Jia Ke. These people were
Zheng Kai, Luo Cen, Xiao Kun, Ma Zuo.
Jia Ke, you first say to Zheng Kai, "Go and control the troops of the Liaodong Jiedushi Envoy now. Some of them are elites brought by Xie Hu from Liaodong. As long as you control them, the Liaodong Jiedushi Envoy will not be able to escape in the future."
Out of our grasp."
"Don't worry, general. I'm going now. Within three days, I will have the soldiers in Liaodong obey your orders and wait for your orders." Zheng Kai immediately promised, and this matter is not very difficult. The first soldier in Liaodong
The horse has surrendered and has no intention of resisting. Secondly, Jia Ke has the emperor's imperial edict and can legitimately control all the troops.
After Jia Ke paid Zheng Kai, he said to Luo Cen: "Go and control the 30,000 troops in the original infantry commander's office. If there are not enough manpower, there are many people in the original infantry commander's office who want to make up for your mistakes. You can use these people boldly."
, I guess they don’t dare to do anything wrong again.”
Luo Cen was overjoyed when he heard that Jia Ke asked him to control 30,000 infantrymen to command the army of the Yamen. Now that he could be regarded as the leader, he immediately moved Jia Ke to express his position: "Don't worry, sir, I will take care of these troops for you and be at your disposal at any time."
Your Majesty’s request.”
Next came the Forbidden Army. Jia Ke handed this matter over to Xiao Kun. This man was not as clever as others, nor had any special abilities. His ability to lead troops was also mediocre. He only had one advantage, that is, he was loyal to the enemy.
Jia Ke obeys what he says and has no bad habits. Jia Ke can rest assured that some things are left to him.
So this time the task of rectifying the Forbidden Army was left to him. Unlike other rebels, the Forbidden Army was not considered a rebellion this time. It was just that King Beijing who led the Forbidden Army was suddenly killed and was controlled by Huo Tu, the Minister of War. But even if
In this way, it did not contribute any force in the subsequent wars. Compared with other armies, it is relatively easy to control, and it is considered the simplest among them.
Next, Jia Ke asked Ma Zuo: "Are Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion peaceful now? Are there any rebels going to cause trouble?"
Ma Zuo was sent to protect Rong Ning's second mansion as soon as Jia Ke entered the city, so Jia Ke asked this question.
"Sir, please rest assured. After I arrived at Rong Ning's Second Mansion with my troops, it was relatively peaceful there. There were no rioters. The prince did not take any measures against Rong Guo Mansion and Ning Guo Mansion. They are now protected by the soldiers. The master of Rong Guo Mansion is still here.
A drink for us sergeants." Ma Zuo replied respectfully.
When Jia Ke heard that Rongguo Mansion was fine, he felt relieved. In fact, he was mainly worried about Rongguo Mansion, and Ningguo Mansion was just incidental.
"Okay, you have done a good job in this matter. I will give you a job to show your face as a reward. You go to our camp and recruit 10,000 soldiers to protect the imperial city in place of the imperial army, so that you can show your face in front of the emperor."
Jia Ke was satisfied and gave him a little sweet treat.
When Ma Zuo heard that he was asked to protect the imperial city and show some face in front of the emperor, he didn't look very happy. Ma Zuo was a bit stubborn. He now considered himself a minister of Jia Ke. For the emperor,
I didn't look forward to showing my face in front of him. Mazo's current state is like a saying in Europe: My vassal's vassal is not my vassal. It sounds a bit awkward, but it is Mazo's inner thought. Now he only
I saw this as a task, not a reward.
Jia Ke was very satisfied with his attitude. Such a talent is worthy of his promotion. Of course, his confidants all control their own people. Only then can he be as stable as Mount Tai in the court.
Jia Ke unknowingly controlled another 150,000 or 60,000 troops in the capital, plus the 50,000 elite soldiers in his own headquarters, plus he had the Emperor's Holy Purpose as his opponent, he could completely suppress other armies and horses. If
Even if he doesn't respect orders, he can do whatever he wants.
But it seems that Jia Ke doesn't need to take strong measures now. After all, Wang Ziteng is his ally. The total number of other leading generals is less than one-third of the two of them.
Not long after, all the leading generals arrived at the Infantry Command Yamen. Jia Ke did not become arrogant just because he had received the emperor's imperial edict. He had already prepared seats for the generals in the lobby.
As soon as everyone arrived, they took their seats. Jia Ke first took out the imperial edict and announced the emperor's order. After listening to the emperor's edict, the military governors and generals in charge came to Jia Ke and knelt down in front of him to salute him.
After the master and slave were determined at once, Jia Ke did not embarrass them and quickly asked them to get up and take their seats.
"Generals, Jia Ke is not talented. He has been favored by the emperor and given an important task. He actually wants to work hard for the emperor. Now the number in the capital has stabilized. My 50,000 troops have controlled various places in the capital. The troops of all the generals are in the capital.
It is very inconvenient, and if any nobles are disturbed, it will not be easy to explain in the future, so I ordered all the troops to go out of the city and camp outside the city." Jia Ke sat in the middle and said seriously.
When everyone heard this, they felt that there was no problem. After all, the capital was now stable and there was no need for so many troops. So they stood up together and bowed their hands to Jia Ke, "General, please wait and obey the general's orders."
Only then did a smile appear on Jia Ke's face, and he said to the leading generals under the pond: "The emperor will definitely see your contribution this time. When everything is settled in a few days, the emperor will definitely reward you.
At that time, everyone will be able to return to their respective stations with the emperor's reward."
