After listening to Jia Ke's words, Lei Ying, the Minister of War, finally showed a smile on his face. This time, after the emperor spent so much effort and spent so much food and salary, he was finally able to transfer the elite of Jia Ke's direct lineage to the north.
After the heroic cavalry battalion left, Jia Ke's strength was greatly damaged. The original three battalions in the capital, as well as the imperial army and the infantry commander's Yamen, had long been infiltrated by the major families and the emperor's cronies. Immediately by
With Jia Ke in charge, the emperor can also breathe a sigh of relief.
"Since Mr. Jia has spoken, I will wait for Mr. Jia's good news." Lei Ying was still able to reassure Jia Ke in the end.
Jia Ke said impatiently: "Instead of caring about this matter, Mr. Lei, it is better to care about whether the food harvest of the Ministry of Revenue is almost done."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Jia, I am concerned about this matter. The Ministry of Revenue has already raised a lot of grain. On the fifth day of June, 1.5 million grains will be transported to the warehouse in the capital, waiting for the emperor's allocation at any time." The official next to him said.
Liu Yu, the Minister of the Ministry, heard that Jia Ke was so crowded with Lei Ying, and immediately came out to help.
"That's good. I hope Mr. Liu from the Ministry of Revenue will not disappoint us, otherwise the national law will be ruthless." When Jia Ke said this, a cold light appeared in his eyes. During this time, the emperor began to be dishonest again. It's time to
Time to hit him again.
After saying these words, Jia Ke flicked his sleeves and left the military aircraft office to go back to Wuyang Hou Mansion.
After Jia Ke left, Lei Ying and Liu Yu looked at each other and showed a slight smile.
Then the two of them took each other and left the military aircraft office.
"Master Liu, do you think Jia Ke didn't guess the key this time?"
Liu Yu thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't think so. I think Jia Ke has figured out the emperor's intention. Otherwise, he wouldn't ask for food and salary from the emperor."
"Then what does Jia Ke mean? He actually agreed to the Xiaoqi camp going north. Could it be that he really has no objections."
"I think Jia Ke is too confident and doesn't take us seriously at all. It seems that he is very confident in the control of the three major battalions, so he let the Xiaoqi battalion go north."
"In this case, we must be careful. It seems that the penetration in the three major camps will be strengthened. Otherwise, we may not be able to succeed in the end."
Liu Yu nodded when he heard this and said: "How has the penetration of the three major camps been during this period?"
Lei Ying, the Minister of War, was directly responsible for this matter. After all, he still knew a lot about military affairs. If he let others take control, he would probably lose his sight. In the end, Jia Ke discovered it before he even took action.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I have mobilized all the manpower and connections with the emperor's secret guards and the royal relatives of the clan. Now half of the middle-level generals in the Xiaoqi camp are under our control. As long as the emperor gives an order,
Come on, even if we can't get rid of Jia Ke, we can still be on equal footing with him."
Liu Yu nodded with relief, but he felt that this matter was handled too smoothly. He didn't even notice that Jia Ke had done anything in the army, which was completely unreasonable.
Liu Yu now feels a little worried. If things don't work out, none of them may have a chance to survive.
After handling various matters at the Military Aircraft Department, Jia Ke returned to Wuyang Marquis Mansion in the morning. As a result, as soon as he sat down, steward Qian Mao came to report.
"Slave, please greet me." Qian Mao saluted Jia Ke respectfully in his study.
Over the years, Jia Ke's prestige has become increasingly strong, and everyone in the Jia family is now in awe of Jia Ke. Even Jia Ke's father, Jia Zheng, was a little worried when he met Jia Ke.
"What's the matter? You came over just after I came back." Jia Ke asked impatiently, holding a tea cup in his hand. Originally, Jia Ke wanted to take a rest in the study, so he went back to the inner house to have dinner with Qin Keqing and take a look.
Jia Zhi and Jia Mao, these two boys.
"Sir, Luo Cen, the commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion, has been waiting at the gatehouse all morning, requesting an audience with you." Qian Mao immediately replied to Jia Ke without any hesitation.
"Oh, then I just walked in, why didn't he come to pay homage?" Jia Ke asked with a serious face.
"When the uncle came in just now, I saw some uninvited guests outside, so I didn't let him out." Qian Mao explained to Jia Ke with his head lowered.
Although Luo Cen's visit to Jia Ke does not need to be so secretive, there is always such a group of people outside the house, staring at it day and night, and no one will be happy.
Jia Ke was a little angry now. The emperor's secret guards were becoming more and more unscrupulous. The spies they sent even noticed the money trade. It seemed that they no longer had any scruples.
Jia Ke directly ordered: "You will go find Liu Yu soon and arrest all these people with ulterior motives at our door and send them to the infantry commander's office. I will have a way to deal with them then."
"Sir, there must be a crime for my slave to arrest them. Please tell me."
"What reason do you need for this? Just say that they snooped into the minister's privacy and had evil intentions." Jia Ke was deeply touched by Qian Mao's timidity. When Qian Mao came here, it was because of his timidity. He has not changed this problem now.
.
It seems that he cannot be involved in many things, otherwise if something happens to him, this person will be a time bomb.
After listening to Jia Ke's instructions, Qian Mao said, "Slave, I'll do it right away. I'll put these people in the cell of the infantry commander's office this afternoon."
Although Qian Mao is still very timid now, he knows full well about Jia Ke's power.
The current Infantry Commanding Yamen is as if it was opened by the Jia Mansion. Not only the Rongguo Mansion, but also the branches of the Jia Mansion sometimes use the resources of the Infantry Commanding Yamen. Therefore, no one in the market dares to offend anyone from the Jia Mansion.
, I was afraid that if he did anything wrong, he would be caught and sent to the infantry commander's yamen.
Even those side branches are like this, not to mention Qian Mao, Jia Ke's confidant butler. Now Qian Mao also has many family members who have committed crimes go to his house to give gifts. I hope Qian Mao can say something so that his family can be promoted from the infantry commander.
Come out of the Yamen.
Qian Mao also treated the family members of those who had committed crimes differently. He agreed to those who had only minor problems. But as long as the crimes were slightly serious, he would refuse because he knew that he did not have the ability.
.
It is precisely because Qian Mao was so cautious and did not make any big mistakes that Jia Ke temporarily tolerated him. Otherwise, with his timid appearance and his previous betrayal record, how could he have become Jia Ke's confidant and have been serving as Wuyang?
The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion till now.
"Go ahead and call Luo Cen to the study. I'll wait for him here." Jia Ke already knew the purpose of Luo Cen's visit.
This time, he probably came to ask me for advice on leading the army north, and stopped by to show his loyalty.
Not long after, Qian Mao brought Luo Cen to Jia Ke's study room.
As soon as Luo Cen entered the door and saw the Taoist guest, he immediately saluted Jia Ke with a thousand kicks on one leg, "Luo Cen, a low-ranking official, has seen the handsome man before."
As Jia Ke now controls more and more troops, Jia Ke's direct generals now call Jia Ke the commander-in-chief. This not only looks close to him, but also shows his obedient attitude to Jia Ke.
"Get up, there is a seat next to you and sit down by yourself. It's like this every time I see you. Doesn't it bother you? It's better when we were in Kaiping Town. At that time, we were all brothers who ate and lived together. It's not like we do now.
There are so many stinky rules." Although Jia Ke was very satisfied with Luo Cen's attitude in his heart, he still complained in his mouth, so as to show that Jia Ke did not forget his old relationship.
After Luo Cen stood up, he carefully sat down on a chair next to the study.
"What are you doing here this time? You're not just here to flatter me, are you?" Jia Ke said jokingly. Jia Ke now likes to make small and medium-sized jokes like this with his subordinates to show his closeness.
After hearing Jia Ke's joke, Luo Cen also began to relax, "Commander, how can I have time to joke now? The Ministry of War sent me a general order early this morning, asking me to set out as soon as possible in Xuanfu Town and Miyun
We are stationed in between, ready to support both places at any time. So I came here to ask the commander for advice."
Jia Ke didn't expect Lei Ying to be so rude. Before even greeting him, he had already passed him and issued a military order to the Xiaoqi camp.
Fortunately, Luo Cen came over and said hello to him, otherwise he would still have been kept in the dark. At this time, Jia Ke was being watched outside the house, and the anger aroused once again broke out.
"What a brave Lei Ying. He dared to give orders to my troops without my consent." Jia Ke was furious now.
If he could tolerate the emperor and Lei Ying and the others in other matters, then the monarchy was a taboo for Jia Ke, and he would never tolerate it if Kazuto tried to attack Jia Ke on military power.
"After you go back, stay still. No one is allowed to mobilize any soldiers without my general order. I want to see what Lei Ying, the Minister of War, can do to us." Jia Ke told Luo Cen with a gloomy face.
This time Lei Ying has crossed the bottom line and destroyed the tacit understanding between Jia Ke and the emperor.
During this period of time, Jia Ke tried his best to cooperate with the emperor on government affairs. As for the emperor's military issues, Jia Ke always made the decision and did not give orders personally. All transfers were made through Jia Ke.
Now Lei Ying directly gave orders to the Xiaoqi camp in the name of the Ministry of War without Jia Ke's consent. Whether it was a test or something else, it clearly broke the tacit understanding between the two parties.
If Jia Ke remains silent this time, Lei Ying will intensify his efforts and directly pass over Jia Ke and give orders to Jia Ke's direct troops. At that time, Jia Ke's authority in the army will be shaken.
If Lei Ying doesn't give him an explanation this time, then the Xiaoqi camp's move north may have to be abandoned.
When Luo Cen heard Jia Ke's order, he immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said: "In this humble position, I will obey the commander-in-chief's orders. Without the commander-in-chief's orders, I will never move a step north.
