Seeing that the Supreme Emperor had aroused suspicion about Jia Ke, the emperor knew that his strategy had worked, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "Father, now Jia Ke has commanded all the troops in the capital, and has also served as the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department. From now on,
I'm afraid the past has not been a blessing to the imperial court. It is better to find a reason to deal with this Jia Ke to avoid causing trouble in the future."
The Supreme Emperor closed his eyes and thought for a while. Although he was a little suspicious of Jia Ke now, after all, Jia Ke had not done anything to harm the court. So far, he could not be punished just because of temporary suspicion.
Besides, it is not that easy to move Jia Ke now. If Jia Ke is really rebellious as the emperor said, then if a hasty action is taken against Jia Ke at this time, it will cause him to have a life-and-death situation.
thoughts.
It's just that Jia Ke can't control the entire army in the capital. As long as he controls a part of the troops, with Jia Ke's bravery, even if he fights to the death, breaks into the palace to assassinate the king or fights out of the capital, and returns to the border, it will be huge for him.
Threatening, their father and son may not be able to save their lives at that time.
The Supreme Emperor thought about it and decided that it would be better to slowly weaken Jia Ke's power. Besides, his own health was getting worse and worse, and he could not withstand such a big war.
"What are you going to do with him? If it turns out to be what you said, will you and I still be alive?" the Supreme Emperor asked the Emperor in return.
The emperor was also surprised when he heard the Emperor's question. He did not expect that the Emperor, who had everything under control before, would now become unconfident. This meant that the Emperor was no longer confident in his control of the army.
At this time, the emperor began to panic, and hurriedly asked the Supreme Emperor: "Father, is it possible that your arrangement in the army cannot capture Jia Ke immediately?"
The Supreme Emperor did not lie to the emperor at this time, "If it was a year ago, it would have been easy to capture Jia Ke, but this year I don't know why I trust Jia Ke so much. I haven't interfered with the army for a long time. Not now."
Knowing how many cronies Jia Ke has arranged in the army, I think that Jia Ke must have secretly controlled a part of the army, which is just a small number of people. But coupled with the Xiaoqi battalion he brought from Xuanfu Town, everything
If one thing is leaked, I'm afraid there will be a disaster."
At this time, the emperor couldn't think of any good solution. Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, Jia Ke had reached the point where he truly dominated the government.
"But you don't have to worry. Although Jia Ke has some power now, as long as it slowly weakens in three to five years, it will not be difficult to deal with him in the end." How much manipulation did the Supreme Emperor go through? Even the man who almost controlled him back then
Wasn't it true that most of the princes in the world were bribed and conspired by him with money, and in the end they became estranged from their relatives and were easily captured by him? Not to mention this little kid Jia Ke.
"I heard that Jia Ke's sister, Jia Yuanchun, is still in your harem." The Supreme Emperor suddenly asked the emperor.
"I would like to inform my father, Jia Yuanchun is just a concubine in his son's harem, and he is not a high-profile figure." The emperor was very disgusted with Jia Yuanchun because of Jia Ke, so when he became the prince, Jia Yuanchun was already
A side concubine was second only to the official concubine. However, after the emperor ascended the throne, he only made her a concubine. This made Jia Yuanchun very embarrassed in the harem. Everyone knew that the emperor was not happy with Jia Yuanchun.
"When you go back, treat her well, give her more status, and stay more often in her palace." The Supreme Emperor told the Emperor.
"Father, why is this? Isn't this increasing the leverage of their Jia family?" The emperor was reluctant to do this.
"Idiot, don't you know that if you want to get something, you should take it first? If you don't do this, how can they get carried away? If you don't do this, how can Jia Ke let down his guard?" The Supreme Emperor looked at him while lying on the bed with a sense of superiority.
The emperor preached.
After hearing what the Emperor said, the Emperor finally realized that the Emperor wanted to paralyze Jia Ke first, make him more domineering, and finally lose the hearts of his subordinates.
At that time, the Supreme Emperor will use other methods to win over these people. Once this goal is achieved, it will be time to deal with Jia Ke. As expected, he is still relatively young, and the Supreme Emperor's tactics are hard to guard against. If the Supreme Emperor's health had not been bad, he would have contacted the civil servants at that time.
When he pushes himself to the throne, he will probably be thrown into hell by the Supreme Emperor. Just like his brother King Zhongshun, he can only eat, drink and have fun in the mansion and live a seemingly happy life.
"And you can't just count on these. Although the four princes and eight princes have declined, their disciples and former officials are all over the world. You must first think about dividing them up and isolating the Jia family from other princes. In this way, you will face
The pressure to be right is much less." The Supreme Emperor now seems to be explaining his funeral arrangements.
The emperor nodded frequently to the emperor's current words, thinking that since he first came to the throne, he wanted to confront Jia Ke forcefully, which made Jia Ke feel strong hostility and vigilance towards him. How unwise this was.
"After completing these two steps, you can slowly win over the hearts and minds of the army, but you must be cautious and plan slowly, and never act too hastily. Remember, remember." The Supreme Emperor told the emperor roughly the strategy he had in mind.
once.
At this time, the emperor had already expressed his admiration for the Supreme Emperor. After thanking the Supreme Emperor, he happily said goodbye and left.
After the emperor left, the Supreme Emperor couldn't help but smile. The emperor still had little experience. He had already completely believed in his few words just now.
Although the Supreme Emperor had doubts about Jia Ke, it was not to the extent that the emperor thought. He believed that he could still control the army. The reason why he took this slow approach to deal with Jia Ke was to give the emperor a chance to practice.
, the second is that he can remove this stumbling block for the emperor after his death, and the third is that although he is not in good health, he does not want to see the emperor fully control the power of the world. The timetable he arranged for the emperor is just right, during his lifetime
When he died, the emperor still had to obey his command. When he passed away, the emperor's arrangements were almost complete, and then he could launch it in one fell swoop. Isn't this the best of both worlds?
However, the Supreme Emperor did not see the emperor leaving, so he gave Dai Quan a wink. Dai Quan next to him nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Seeing that the Supreme Emperor was about to take a rest, Dai Quan hurriedly stepped forward and said quietly: "The Supreme Emperor, I have something that I don't know whether to say or not."
The Supreme Emperor glanced at Dai Quan, and then said nonchalantly: "You, my slave, want to speak to Jia Ke?"
When Dai Quan heard this, he knew that the Supreme Emperor had misunderstood, and he quickly knelt down on the ground and said in tears: "How dare I interfere in the government affairs? The Supreme Emperor unjustly sentenced this slave to death."
The Supreme Emperor lay on the bed and looked at Dai Quan's aggrieved look, and said with a smile: "I didn't say anything, you can get up."
Dai Quan then stood up tremblingly, came to the front of the Supreme Emperor, and pressed the quilt back on him.
The Supreme Emperor looked at Dai Quan and said with a smile: "Just say what you have to say. We have been together all our lives. Is there anything else we can't say?"
Dai Quan then stood in front of the Emperor's bed again and said in a low voice: "I would like to report to the Emperor, my spies. During this period, I have been receiving news that Jia Ke is trying to win people's hearts in the army."
After hearing this, the Supreme Emperor sat up from the bed. Then he felt dizzy and couldn't sit still.
Seeing this situation, Dai Quan quickly stepped forward to support the Supreme Emperor, helped him to the edge of the bed, and took a pillow for him to lean on.
The Supreme Emperor calmed down for a while and then said: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big matter?"
When Dai Quan saw that the Supreme Emperor was angry, he quickly knelt down and said, "I only found out recently that Jia Ke moved very covertly. By the time my spies found out, he had already communicated with many generals."
The Supreme Emperor felt frightened after hearing this. He had no idea that Dai Quan was lying to him. The Supreme Emperor seemed to have always been loyal to him, and he would never lie to him.
The Supreme Emperor sat on the bed and felt cold all over. What did Jia Ke mean? Could it be that he really had a different intention?
The Supreme Emperor now regrets that he should not have given Jia Ke such great rights and allowed him full room to exercise.
"From today on, you will closely monitor Jia Ke's every move. Pay special attention to his dealings with any generals in the army. If you have any news, report it to me immediately without any delay."
Dai Quan immediately agreed, knowing that his words had successfully aroused the suspicion of the Supreme Emperor again. As long as the Supreme Emperor became suspicious, Jia Ke's life would not be easy.
That night, the emperor rested in Jia Yuanchun's palace. He loved Jia Yuanchun very much, and kept sending him rewards the next day. In the next few days, the emperor only doted on Jia Yuanchun, which made Jia Yuanchun in the palace.
His status rose rapidly.
This trend was soon known to the well-informed Jia family. For a while, everyone in the Jia family celebrated, thinking that it would be a matter of time for Jia Yuanchun to become a concubine. As a result, everyone in the Jia family became even more unscrupulous.
Jia Ke was well aware of these things. Judging from the information he received, the Emperor had already begun to make arrangements for his funeral. The Emperor also acted like a filial son and grandson during these times, going to Ningshou Palace of the Emperor to pay his respects every day.
The father and son talked for an hour or two, and there was no trace of the original tenseness at all.
Jia Ke has already sensed the danger, and the father and son seem to have reached some kind of consensus. As a result, he will be increasingly isolated in the court. It seems that this is the approach the father and son will take towards themselves.
I'm afraid greater favor will befall the Jia family in the future.
The business of this day is the birthday of Jia Zheng, the head of the Rongguo Mansion. This can be said to be the biggest event of the Jia Mansion in the past year.
On Jia Zheng's birthday, the Rongguo Mansion held a grand banquet, inviting all relatives and friends, and all kinds of people from the Ningrong and Rong Mansion came to congratulate him.
For a time, Rongxi Hall was already overcrowded. In addition to people from the Jia family, all kinds of people from the court also came to congratulate. Ningrong Street had become busy with traffic, and there was no place to stand. In this way, the Jia Mansion was completely destroyed.
The glory that sets it off is incomparable. In the entire capital, there are only one or two families with such magnificence.
