A few days later, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs sent official documents to various places, and the main destinations of these official documents were Xuanfu Town and Liaodong Town.
Following these official documents are letters sent by Jia Ke to various places. These letters are Jia Ke's methods for his generals to deal with the court. Aren't you not going to give me military pay? Then I will do it myself, and then we will see what happens.
Who can't get off the stage?
The court was now in turmoil. As the news spread that Jia Ke's direct troops had been deprived of military pay, all the civil servants who had been hiding in fear of Jia Ke's authority now came out again.
So various memorials to impeach Jia Ke reappeared, the most common of which was that the servants in Jia Ke's house bullied others, and Jia Ke was not strict in discipline. Some people even made up and said that Jia Ke occupied people's fields and killed people.
Jia Ke was now very angry with the emperor. He thought it was the emperor's trick again. He had just reduced the military pay of his direct descendants, and now he was commanding so many people to impeach him. What did it mean?
So this time Jia Ke did not send these authors to the emperor, but used his power as the head minister of the Military Aircraft Department to directly refute them.
Jia Ke's attitude clearly told the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty that if you want to impeach me, you must first take away my power as the head minister of the Military Aircraft Department. Otherwise, your memorial will not be delivered to the emperor.
Although several other military ministers also have the power to submit memorials to the emperor, they all know that the emperor just made a move a few days ago and reduced the salary of Jia Ke's direct army by four levels. If they continue to struggle with this matter
, I am afraid that the emperor's important affairs will be ruined by then. Therefore, these people ignored Jia Ke's actions, as if they had never happened.
In addition, they also warned people in their faction to be honest during this period and not to hold on to Jia Ke, in case Jia Ke was annoyed and missed the emperor's important events. In the end, both the emperor and Jia Ke let go
But they.
The emperor also knew Jia Ke's methods a long time ago. He dismissed Jia Ke's memorial privately and did not even send it to him. To be honest, he was very annoyed. But looking at Jia Ke's behavior, he obviously thought it was his fault.
The emperor is in charge. If there is another conflict with him now, the next plan will cause trouble. Therefore, the emperor pretends not to know that Jia Ke dismissed the memorial without his consent.
In fact, the emperor was not clear about this matter. The blame was that his actions to weaken Jia Ke's power were so obvious that almost everyone could see it. So in order to please him, these ministers swarmed to impeach Jia Ke.
Those who impeached Jia Ke in the court saw that the document was quickly rejected, and the instructions above were: No, and the name of Jia Ke was officially signed. Only now did they know Jia Ke's power, and
Not as shaken as they imagined.
They even saw the emperor's weakness from it, and which emperor could tolerate the existence of an unscrupulous powerful official like Jia Ke.
They also saw Jia Ke's strength in this matter. This was beyond what a minister could do. It seemed that the emperor and Jia Ke were determined to fight to the death. So everyone stopped and waited to see the emperor and Jia Ke.
Who will win in the end, Jia Ke?
But before waiting for the result, Jia Ke issued a document and demoted the four or five people who had been most responsible for impeaching him some time ago to Hainan.
Originally, according to the rules, the appointment and dismissal of officials had to go through the emperor and the Ministry of Personnel, but this time Jia Ke directly sent an official document to the Ministry of Personnel in the name of the Military Aircraft Department, ordering the Ministry of Personnel to demote these people to Hainan.
Liu Yu, the Minister of Civil Affairs and the Minister of Military Affairs, was well aware of Jia Ke's situation during this period. At the same time, as a confidant of the emperor, he knew how unhappy Jia Ke was now. Therefore, there was no obstacle to Jia Ke's attack this time.
It was sent out directly in the name of the Ministry of Personnel.
This can also be regarded as a kind of comfort from the emperor to Jia Ke. Otherwise, if he continues to suppress Jia Ke, I am afraid that Jia Ke will really die.
So these unlucky guys went to Hainan to fish together. Even the court officials were afraid of Jia Ke's power. When these people left, no one came to see them off.
Jia Ke actually didn't want to be so tough, but since Jia Ke became the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department, these civil servants have united to impeach him several times. In the past few times, the Supreme Emperor protected him, but this time the Supreme Emperor also had a rift with him.
, I’m afraid I won’t help him.
So this time he had to rely on himself to get through it. In addition, the emperor had deducted his military pay a few days ago. If he didn't lose his temper, everyone in the world would think that he was a piece of dough. Whoever wanted to knead it could knead it a few times.
After this incident passed, in order to show that his power had not declined, and to give the emperor a warning, Jia Ke ordered the army of the infantry commander's yamen to immediately take to the streets. The official order was to strictly investigate Xiao Xiao and maintain law and order in the capital.
In fact, Jia Ke sent troops to the streets this time just to show the ministers who put eye drops on themselves. I, Jia Ke, still command an army of hundreds of thousands. It’s better not to show your little tricks in front of my eyes.
When the emperor got the news, he was reviewing memorials in the Yangxin Hall. During this period, the emperor reviewed less and less memorials. This was because Jia Ke deliberately suppressed many important things and only dealt with trivial matters.
The Emperor approves.
The emperor is well aware of this matter. If the emperor is not still in control of the secret guards, several military aircraft in the military aircraft department are also loyal to the emperor. They often report the situation to the emperor in private memorials, making the emperor fully aware of the situation outside the palace.
, now the emperor is blind.
The emperor was weakly reading a memorial from a certain county in the south of the Yangtze River. It was about a wealthy family who, in order to seize property, forced a widow to remarry, causing the widow to hang herself from the beam.
At this moment, his personal eunuch Xia Shouzhong hurriedly came to the emperor.
When Xia Shouzhong saw the emperor, he didn't even have time to salute, but he came to the emperor's ears and whispered: "Long live my lord, Jia Ke ordered the infantry to lead the yamen soldiers to the streets."
When the emperor heard this, he trembled with fright. He thought that Jia Ke was rebelling. The emperor forcibly cheered up and ordered directly: "Go, let our people in the Imperial Guard send troops immediately to protect the palace and prevent Jia Ke from doing anything."
The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry."
Xia Shouzhong did not hesitate after hearing the emperor's order, and immediately went out to deliver the order.
After a while, the main generals of the Forbidden Army who had already interacted with the emperor led their troops to surround the palace.
This incident also alarmed several people in the Military Aircraft Department.
Liu Yu, Lei Ying, and Tian Ye didn't care about anything else after receiving the news, and trotted to the Yangxin Hall.
As soon as the three of them entered the main hall, the emperor asked them directly: "Do you know that Jia Ke ordered the infantry commander to go to the streets?"
As the leader of these people, Liu Yu immediately replied: "Long live, Jia Ke didn't greet us at the military aircraft. We didn't know about this."
Tian Ye, who was standing below, also came out and said: "Long live, the current situation must not be added to the fire. Jia Ke's situation is that during this period of time, Long live the Lord and the civil servants in the court have pushed too hard. If he doesn't react, then what will happen?"
It's strange. Now that he has reacted, we can rest assured that Jia Ke will not die in this matter."
After listening to Tian Ye's words, Lei Ying, the Minister of War, nodded in agreement, "Master Tian is right, as long as the emperor sits quietly in the palace and Jia Ke makes trouble for a while, he will be fine after losing his temper."
After listening to their analysis, the emperor felt relieved. He had been really frightened just now. At the same time, he also regretted his reckless actions this time. He only thought about how to force Jia Ke, but did not expect that Jia Ke would
Such fierce resistance.
This incident was just as Tian Ye expected. After Jia Ke made trouble for a while, he asked the people from the infantry yamen to return to the camp. The incident gradually calmed down, but the consequences were huge. Because of this incident
The courtiers have completely seen that the offensive and defensive positions between Jia Ke and the emperor have been shifted.
Many of the previously swing factions have now tipped the balance in favor of the Jackets.
It was under this circumstance that Zhou Rui visited the Prince of Nan'an County with Jia Ke's invitation and 4,000 taels of silver.
As the steward of the Rongguo Mansion, although he brought Jia Ke's greetings, he still could not see the head of the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion. However, the head of the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion warmly received Zhou Rui.
The two parties sat down in a small hall of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion.
The chief historian of the Nan'an County Prince's Palace first spoke: "Steward Zhou, what important matters come to our palace this time?"
Zhou Rui did not dare to neglect this long history. When he heard his question, he quickly stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Excellency, please ask, I am not here this time because my son-in-law and your family members were here a few days ago.
There was some conflict with a certain relative, so he is still imprisoned in Shuntianfu Prison. I am here to apologize."
After Zhou Rui said this, he ordered his servants to bring in the wooden box behind him, and then opened it himself, only to see a box of silver shining brightly on the other side.
When Chang Shi saw him like this, he understood what he meant. He also knew about this matter. A poor relative of their old concubine had lost all his money and came to the capital with all his money, intending to buy something good for the old concubine.
In order to please the old concubine, she gave him a word and asked him to work as a minor official in another place.
But he didn't expect that the thing he bought this time was wrong. As a result, he almost hanged himself because he had already lost all his money for this little money. The old concubine is now old and hasn't seen anyone from her hometown for a long time. This time she heard about it.
He immediately got angry. He immediately took her post and sent it to Shuntian Mansion. This led to this public case.
He also went to Shuntian Mansion to inquire about this matter, and found out that the person who was captured had some relationship with Rongguo Mansion, and the two masters of Rongguo Mansion had already submitted notices, wanting to fish him out. As a result, Shuntian Mansion Yin because of Nan'an County
Mrs. Wang’s post was suppressed there, and she didn’t dare to let her go.
Now this Zhou Rui came to visit with a post from Jia Ke, the pillar of the Rongguo Mansion, and sent back four thousand taels of silver. This was enough to give the Nan'an County Prince's face. Logically, things should go away like this, after all, the two
The family is a family friend, and the Rongguo Mansion handed over the ladder to go downstairs.
But now that the old concubine was still angry, he did not dare to make the decision on this matter. So he said to Zhou Rui: "I have accepted your uncle's post, and the money will be placed here first. I will report back to our boss right now."
Concubine, what do you mean by looking at this old man? You go back and wait for news."
Then without saying anything to Zhou Rui, he was sent out. Zhou Rui had no choice but to go home and wait for the news. As a result, his wife scolded him as soon as he returned home. She thought that he was too humble to go there this time.
, if he showed some momentum, I don’t think the Nan’an County Prince’s Palace would dare to treat him like this.
Now that Zhou Rui thought about it carefully, he realized that what his wife said made sense. He had been too cowardly just now. If he showed some momentum, the other party wouldn't dare to kick him out directly.
