Jia Ke ordered all the troops and horses to withdraw from the capital and set up camp outside the city. He also considered that there would not be too many people and horses in the capital. Too many people and horses might cause panic among the people in the capital. With the troops and horses withdrawing from the capital, the people in the capital would be able to calm down.
, each returned to their previous lives.
Then Jia Ke ordered Zheng Kai, "Take our 10,000 infantry troops and station them in the inner city to monitor the princes and ministers. If you find that the princes are connected with the ministers, immediately execute the ministers and imprison the princes, waiting for the emperor's fate."
The Jiedu envoys and general soldiers below were a little scared when they heard Jia Ke's order. This order was obviously not something Jia Ke could give. It must be the emperor's order. It seems that the emperor was cruel this time. If
At this time, if you are a little disobedient, you may end up dead in two parts immediately.
At this point, the reluctance in the hearts of the military governors and commander-in-chief disappeared without a trace. What they were thinking about now was to leave the city and garrison as soon as possible, so as not to cause any more trouble.
After receiving Jia Ke's order, Zheng Kai immediately mobilized his troops to the inner city and set up sentries at various important roads and in front of the gates of each government.
Especially the various palaces. Each palace has hundreds of soldiers guarding the front and rear. Those ministers are not very good, but which one of the people in these palaces is not a noble noble of the emperor? Now I see someone surrounding my house, how can each of them do it?
tolerated.
Especially the second prince's palace. The second prince had originally been eyeing the throne of the prince. This time the prince committed a major crime and was imprisoned by the emperor. He believed that according to the principle of ordering the elders and younger ones, he was the most likely to become the prince.
Therefore, in the past few days, the second prince secretly summoned his cronies at his residence to discuss how to remonstrate with the emperor in order to make himself the crown prince.
As a result, at noon today, he received a report from the manager of the mansion, saying that the gate of the mansion had been blocked by soldiers and no one was allowed to enter or exit.
This made the second prince very angry. Apart from being angry with the emperor and the prince, he had never been so useless in his life.
So the second prince led his guards and went directly to the entrance of the mansion. When the side door of the second prince's mansion opened and the second prince and his men came out, they saw more than two hundred strong soldiers standing outside.
Wearing armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, and holding a steel gun in his hand, he surrounded his mansion tightly.
When the second prince saw this, he could not hold back his anger. He walked directly in front of a soldier and raised his foot to kick him. Unexpectedly, before he had even raised his foot, another soldier next to him had already put the sword in his hand.
on the neck.
The second prince was immediately frightened and did not dare to move. Chang Shi who was next to him quickly came over and scolded: "If you don't put down your sword quickly, do you know who this is? This is the emperor's second prince."
At this moment, a man from a hundred families walked out from among these soldiers. He came to the second prince and waved his hand to the soldier. The soldier immediately put away his sword and stepped aside.
Now the second prince's legs were already a little weak. Chang Shi immediately came over to support him. The second prince breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Who gave you the courage to surround Gu's mansion? Don't you want your life?"
"
The hundred households had already received the instructions from above, so they said confidently: "By the order of the emperor, all princes should study in peace in the palace and do not go out. If there is a minister of communication, the prince himself will be imprisoned immediately, and the minister of communication will be executed immediately.
"Second Prince, do you have anything else to ask? I will tell you together."
When the second prince heard what he said, his face immediately turned livid. He knew that the emperor had suspected all the princes at this time. If he made any move at this time, the emperor would never be merciful.
The second prince turned around in his heart, and then a smile appeared on his face, "It turns out that my father cares about us and is afraid that we will be in danger, so he brought you here. In this case, I will study quietly in the mansion for a few days. No one is going to show up.
It’s really hard work for you to guard my house.”
When the second prince said this, he said to Chang Shi beside him: "The weather is cold now, so I can't let my brothers be wronged. Please quickly prepare hot soup for the brothers to keep warm, and prepare some food so that the brothers cannot take the throne and I will guard it."
Zhaizi, I’m hungry again.”
After the second prince said this, he returned to the palace with a smile on his back. The smile on his face disappeared as soon as he entered the palace, and his expression turned hideous. He thought to himself that this time he had remembered it.
One day they will let their master know how powerful they are.
Besides, Jia Ke had no idea that there was a second prince. After handling these matters, he returned to Rongguo Mansion with his soldiers. He had been running around in the capital for several days and had not yet returned to Rongguo Mansion.
Now that the capital has finally settled down, people from all walks of life have withdrawn from the capital.
He was finally able to return home and have a good rest. Jia Ke thought about the next few years. It seemed that there would be no big things in the court. According to the Dream of Red Mansions, the current emperor would probably retreat to the position of Supreme Emperor. But he didn’t know that in the Dream of Red Mansions,
Did the crown prince win and force the emperor to abdicate and become the supreme emperor, or did the emperor make a comeback but was in poor health and could only abdicate to the new emperor.
Based on Jia Ke's current understanding of the emperor's body, I'm afraid the emperor has to give in. His body really can't handle the daily affairs of the court. He doesn't know how the new emperor will treat him, the emperor's confidant.
However, in Jia Ke's view, even if the emperor abdicates the throne and becomes the Supreme Emperor, he will probably not give up power. He will definitely be like Emperor Qianlong on earth, taking big things into his hands and leaving those trivial matters to the new emperor. And the emperor wants to
To achieve this goal, they, the emperor's confidants, must have great power to check and balance the new emperor. This seems to be unprepared for the time being. As for the future, if the new emperor does not take any action against him, then everything will be fine. If
The new emperor was unkind to him, and he, Jia Ke, was not a loyal minister or filial son.
With this thought in mind, Jia Ke returned to Rongguo Mansion, and saw numerous heavily guarded soldiers patrolling back and forth near Rongguo Mansion to prevent Xiao Xiao from causing trouble. And the slaves coming in and out of Rongguo Mansion all held their chests high and their bellies folded.
Gu Pan is proud. The proud expression on his face can be seen from miles away.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, he saw Lin Zhixiao there, already waiting for him. When Lin Zhixiao looked at Jia Ke, he hurried up and he held the horse's head, and then reported to him. "Uncle, can you come back?"
The old lady, the two gentlemen, and Uncle Zhen from Dongfu have been waiting for you for a long time."
When Jia Ke heard that all the heads of the Jia family were waiting for him, he didn't dare to neglect, so he got off his horse and walked directly to Rongguo Mansion. As he walked, he asked: "Old lady, where are they? I'll go and see them right away."
.”
"The old lady and the gentlemen are waiting in the old lady's room on the west side. Let me wait for the uncle at the door."
When Jia Ke heard that Jia Mu was waiting, he hurriedly took a few steps forward. Ever since he traveled to this world, Jia Mu had taken great care of him. No matter what the reason was, he could win his respect. A gentleman will judge his deeds but not his heart.
There is no perfect person in the world. As long as the other person reaches this point, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he deserves Jia Ke's respect.
When Jia Ke arrived at Jia's mother's courtyard, he was immediately discovered by a group of little maids in the courtyard. These little maids immediately saluted Jia Ke together. It must be said that the quality of the maids in Jia's house was very high.
Not only are they humble and reasonable, but they also have their own characteristics in terms of whether they are fat or thin. No wonder the outstanding maids in Jia Baoyu's room in Dream of Red Mansions were all given to him by Jia's mother.
Jia Ke just glanced at these maids and didn't look at them. For Jia Ke now, women are just embellishments. With his current status, what kind of beauties does he want?
As soon as Jia Ke came to Jia Mu's door, there was another pretty little maid. She immediately opened the door curtain for him and shouted inside: "The uncle is back."
As soon as Jia Ke entered the door, he felt a wave of heat coming over him. This was because the ground dragon had been burned. I think it was an old lady who was afraid of the cold because she was old. After Jia Ke entered the door, he went to the house on the right. This is the real place.
Living room. The entrance to the house is a Babao Pavilion. Going around is the place where Jia Mu usually lives and receives guests. In the middle is a bench against the wall, with thick cushions on top, which looks particularly comfortable. Under the imperial concubine chair,
There are two rows of Eight Immortals chairs, four chairs in one row, and a small table in between.
Then he saw Jia Mu standing in the middle, with Jia Zheng and Jia She sitting on both sides, and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing sitting on the bottom. As the clan leader, Jia Zhen could only stand aside and serve.
As soon as Jia's mother saw Jia Ke, she hurriedly asked, "How is it? The capital is safe. There won't be any more turmoil."
Jia Ke did not answer Jia Mu first, but came to the middle of the living room first, and then kowtowed to Jia Mu respectfully. After he finished the salute, he stood up. Then he answered Jia Mu: "Don't worry, old lady, the capital is already here."
An Ding. All the troops have withdrawn from the capital, and only our troops from Xuanfu Town are left to guard the city. I have also specially arranged for a thousand troops to patrol and protect around our Rongguo Mansion. I think these young men will not dare to approach."
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Jia's mother visibly let out a sigh of relief. Her face now showed a tired look. She must have been worried these past few days.
At this time, Jia She asked from the side: "How is the prince? Is there still hope? If he can be saved, please help."
Jia Ke suddenly changed his color after hearing this. Regardless of whether Jia She was his elder, he shouted angrily: "Stop, what time is it now? It's too late for everyone to hide, and you still have to rush up. Do you want to let everyone
You will only be happy if your family is destroyed."
Jia She's temper was bad, and he was Jia Ke's elder. He became furious after being reprimanded by Jia Ke, and Jia Ke scolded him loudly: "You little bitch, who are you to dare to talk to me?"
You are talking like this? Believe it or not, I will drag you out right now, and even if you are beaten to death, no one will dare to say a word."
Jia Ke looked at him and sneered: "Pull me out, you first ask the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the capital if they agree? Then ask if the Fangtian Painted Halberd in my hand agrees? You have to ask the emperor again.
If you beat his Wuyang Marquis and Xuanfu Town Jiedushi to death, will he agree?"
Jia Ke's answer to these three questions left Jia She speechless. Only now did he realize that Jia Ke's current status is not comparable to him at all. Now Jia Ke is completely the representative of Rongguo Mansion, and can even be said to be the representative of Rongguo Mansion.
The head of Rongguo Mansion is here.
Jia Ke is very dissatisfied with this old man. If it weren't for Aunt Zhang's relationship, he would have thrown Jia She to an unknown place and left him to fend for himself.
Jia Zheng was very indignant that Jia She was still making trouble unreasonably at this time, so when Jia Ke contradicted Jia She just now, he said nothing. He wanted Jia She to see who was in charge of the Rongguo Mansion now.
, who is the real master of Rongguo Mansion? Now Jia Zheng is confident in taking charge of Rongguo Mansion, and no longer feels guilty in his heart.
