The emperor didn't feel that much fear towards Jia Ke at first, but after this incident, he felt the mountain-like pressure just now and understood that as long as Jia Ke makes a little move, his throne will be established immediately.
Liu Yu asked from below: "Your Majesty, have you found out? What is going on?"
The emperor now felt that he was speechless. He raised his hand to Xia Shouzhong, asking him to explain to Liu Yu.
Xia Shouzhong has now restored his demeanor as the general manager of the Sixth Palace. He gently left the emperor and came to Liu Yu, "Master Liu, this time you are in trouble. These people Jia Ke arrested are all small gangsters.
Because there were so many officials coming and going in front of Jia Ke's house to give him gifts during this period. Moreover, these people were generous with their money, so it became a good place for doing business. As a result, these gangsters took a fancy to him, so they changed the original business
All the people were driven away and occupied this place."
Xia Shouzhong also felt a little funny when he said this. He didn't expect that a group of gangsters almost caused a fight between the two major forces in the capital. "It turned out that these people were all very vicious, and they were not business people at first glance. Jia Ke thought someone was going to do something to him."
It was unfavorable, so they arrested the group together. After interrogation, they found out that it was a misunderstanding. Just now, the infantry commander's Yamen had released the people."
Liu Yu thought for a while and then said: "Is there a fraud in it? Are these people aware of it?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, the origins of these gangsters are all clear. They are all gangsters from the capital. They have established an unknown gang that has been around for more than ten years and has nothing to do with Jia Ke.
"Xia Shouzhong quickly explained.
Liu Yu was relieved at this time. It seemed that it was indeed a misunderstanding. So this matter should have nothing to do with Jia Ke's inaction.
The emperor said above: "This matter and Jia Ke standing still should be two different things. Those little gangsters don't need to worry about them. As for the fact that Jia Ke still refuses to let the Xiaoqi camp go north, let the Minister of the Ministry of War urge him, and then let the army go north.
Prince Jing went to Jia Ge's house to pay a visit and check his tone."
After hearing what the emperor said, Liu Yu immediately agreed.
Seeing that nothing happened to the emperor, Liu Yu carefully exited Dongnuan Pavilion.
Liu Yu came out of Dongnuan Pavilion and wiped the sweat from his head, and then he started to laugh a little. What he did today was indeed a bit reckless. It was just like the wind and rain.
However, this is because Jia Ke put too much pressure on Liu Yu's side, which made the string in Liu Yu's heart always tightened and he could not relax for a moment.
When Liu Yu left the Yangxin Hall and returned to the Military Aircraft Department, several ministers from the Military Aircraft Department had already arrived, and each had been sitting in their own seats for a long time.
As soon as Liu Yu came in, he met Lei Ying's deep eyes. Liu Yu smiled slightly, then shook his head and told Lei Ying that the matter had been resolved.
Although Lei Ying didn't know what was going on, looking at Liu Yu's expression, he knew that everything was safe, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Meng Ming, the president of the Hanlin Academy, said unhappily: "Why did it come at this time? Many things need to be discussed before we can decide. Today's affairs have been delayed a lot."
Liu Yu quickly apologized to Meng Ming, "It's my fault, old man. Some things at home were delayed. There will never be a second time in the future."
Old Mengming muttered a few more words before letting him go.
Liu Yu quickly returned to his seat and started to handle today's official business.
Seeing that nothing happened, Lei Ying thought of the Xiaoqi camp again. He stood up and cupped his hands with Jia Ke and said, "Master Jia, didn't we discuss it? Let the Xiaoqi camp go north today. The official will now bring the food and
All the money and wages have been sent to the main camp of the Xiaoqi Camp, but why does the Xiaoqi Camp still stand still?"
When Jia Ke heard him mention this matter, he couldn't help but get angry, so he said angrily: "Didn't your Ministry of War already issue a military order to the Xiaoqi Battalion? Why are you asking me now? I can't care about these things."
Lei Ying understood the cause and effect as soon as he heard this. Before discussing with Jia Ke, he issued a military order to the Xiaoqi Battalion in the name of the Ministry of War. It seemed that this incident caused Jia Ke's displeasure.
The main reason why Lei Ying did this was to test the Xiaoqi camp and see to what extent the Xiaoqi camp obeyed Jia Ke's orders.
Now the temptation has come out. Without Jia Ke's order, the imperial court can no longer mobilize any soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion.
However, this incident also caused Jia Ke's displeasure, so he ordered the Xiaoqi battalion to stand still. This was to show power to the court.
Lei Ying had nothing to say now. He could only stand up and come to Jia Ke. He bowed to the ground and said, "Master Jia, this time I acted recklessly. Please forgive me this time, Master Jia."
After finishing speaking, Lei Ying bowed again and again, looking very humble.
The old Hanlin Mengming on the side couldn't stand it anymore, "Since Mr. Lei has already apologized, Mr. Jia should stop blaming him and let him let this matter go."
Jia Ke heard what Old Meng Ming said, but he still felt unhappy. So he raised his head and asked Old Meng Ming, "Are you interceding for him?"
Old Mengming was stunned by his question, and then continued: "Even if Mr. Jia betrays me to save face, after all, I have to be merciful, and I am merciful."
Jia Ke originally owed old Meng Ming a favor. Thinking that all the ministers in the hall were against Jia Ke, in the end only old Meng Ming stood up and said some fair words for Jia Ke.
Therefore, Jia Ke still remembers this favor from him to this day.
"Sir, please think carefully, this favor of yours is not easy to show off." Jia Ke was reminding old Meng Ming that if he was interceding for Lei Ying, then Jia Ke would owe Meng Ming no more favors.
It's been written off.
After hearing what Jia Ke said, Lao Mengming felt a little hesitant. After all, his relationship with Jia Ke was just to help him and say a few words.
If you give this favor to Lei Ying now, it may not be easy for you to ask Jia Ke for help in the future.
Although this old Meng Ming has been in the Hanlin Academy all his life, he has been an official for so many years and has finally gained power. Only during this period has he become a bit tactful.
"I just said casually, it has nothing to do with me, Mr. Jia can decide for himself." Old Mengming finally decided to put his own interests first. After all, he still has a lot of disciples, former officials, children and grandchildren to help him.
Favors cannot be used like this. As for Lei Ying, who was the initiator of this matter, he naturally cooked and ate by himself.
Lei Ying was a little anxious now. If the cavalry battalion could not be mobilized, the emperor would not dare to infiltrate the three major battalions and the infantry command yamen. Otherwise, if Jia Ke turned against him, even the emperor would not be able to bear it.
So Lei Ying immediately knelt down on his knees and touched his head to the ground with a bang, "Master Jia, this time I did not do the job well. Please forgive me this time. If Master Jia has any punishment, just say it. I am
I’ll definitely do it.”
Tian Ye, the censor of Zuodu, stood up and said, "Master Jia, that's enough. There's no need to make the matter a stalemate."
Jia Ke was expressionless and silent for a while, and finally said: "Lei Ying was too reckless this time. How can he take on the important task of Minister of Military and Aircraft? I think you should resign yourself."
As soon as Jia Ke finished speaking these words, everyone present was shocked. Jia Ke was going to remove Lei Ying from his position as Minister of Military and Aircraft.
If Lei Ying loses his position as minister of military aircraft, he will still be the minister of the Ministry of War on the surface, but he will leave the center of power of the court. In the future, he will only be concerned about the affairs of the Ministry of War. And I am afraid that even the affairs of the Ministry of War will not be completely decided.
Because there is a military aircraft station above it.
Lei Ying looked desperate below. He was finally won by the emperor to become the minister of military aircraft. It is because of his existence that the emperor has an absolute advantage in the military aircraft department. If he leaves, then the emperor's people in the military aircraft department will
Only Liu Yu and Zuodu Yushi Tianye were left.
It goes without saying that Liu Yu is the emperor's loyal supporter, but Tian Ye, the censor of Zuodu, was originally leaning toward the emperor, but now he has wavered. As a result, the emperor almost lost control of the Military Aircraft Department, and not only did he
In the military, and even in government affairs, we can no longer fully decide.
Liu Yu thought about it uncertainly there, and asked Lei Ying to withdraw from the military aircraft office in exchange for Jia Ke letting the Xiaoqi battalion go north. Is it an advantage or a disadvantage?
Jia Ke sat there, reading the book and sipping tea. He was not in a hurry at all. He had already predicted that the emperor would compromise this time. Because only by transferring the Xiaoqi camp, the emperor would feel the pressure greatly reduced and have the courage.
He competed with Jia Ke for control of the three major battalions and the infantry command yamen.
Finally, Lei Ying, who was still kneeling on the ground, said: "One person does the work and the other takes responsibility. This time I did not discuss the errands with Mr. Jia in advance. It is my fault. I will submit my resignation to the emperor in a moment."
Lei Ying's words were categorical, and there was a sense of solemnity and solemnity in his tone. Liu Yu's eyes were a little red when he looked at them. This is his loyalty to the emperor. For the emperor's big plan, he has already ignored his personal honor and disgrace.
When Jia Ke heard what Lei Ying said, he smiled and said, "There is nothing better than acknowledging a mistake and correcting it. Since Mr. Lei has already admitted his mistake, I won't be in trouble. I thought that after a few more days of rest, the Xiaoqi camp should
Able to go north."
Although Jia Ke spat out, in the eyes of several other military and aircraft ministers, there was no rabbit in sight and no hawk in sight. This seemed to be telling Lei Ying that the Xiaoqi Battalion could not move until he resigned.
Lei Ying had now stood up. Without saying anything else, he came directly to his seat. He picked up a pen, brushed a few dots on an official document, and soon he had folded and written a piece of speech.
After Lei Ying finished writing, he took the document to Jia Ke and said, "I don't know whether the language of this document is fluent or not. Please give it a careful consideration, Mr. Jia."
