After listening to Jia Ke's introduction, Fan Kang said with some confusion: "My lord, even so, my lord, you do not control half of the court."
Jia Ke said with a smile on his face: "Today I will tell you a secret. It will come out of my mouth and into your ears. Don't let the six ears hear it."
When Fan Kang saw Jia Ke, although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of seriousness. He quickly assured Jia Ke, "Don't worry, my lord. After listening to what your lord said today, I will not tell anyone else even if I die."
out."
Jia Ke didn't take Fan Kang's oath seriously. His control over Fan Kang was unimaginable by others, so he continued to say to him: "Do you know who my wife is?"
Fan Kang was a little confused. He did not answer Jia Ke immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and meditated. He thought about the news about Qin Keqing that he knew from the beginning. He had not thought about these things before, but now that he thought about it, he found that Qin Keqing's life experience was full of flaws.
.
The Rongguo Mansion could actually tolerate the adopted daughter of a minor official becoming Jia Ke's legitimate wife. This in itself is the biggest flaw.
In addition, Qin Keqing, whom he knew, did not behave like someone from a small family during this period. She did not feel inferior at all about marrying into the Chinese government. When getting along with Wang Xifeng and others, she even felt a little superior. This should never be the case.
This is what a woman from a small family can have.
After Fan Kang figured it out, thinking about Qin Keqing's age, he couldn't help but think of the incident more than ten years ago. He couldn't help but shudder. If it was really like what he thought, then the prince back then was not the same.
There was no back-up plan left, and I'm afraid the emperor succeeded because he didn't react for a while.
Fan Kang looked at Jia Ke in horror and said, "Could it be that Madam is a descendant of that prince?"
"I'm not sure, but my father-in-law left me a great legacy in the court, the most important of which is an intelligence organization, plus two six ministers, and
The forces under their command." Jia Ke completely told Fan Kang his most core secrets.
Fan Kang immediately became excited. He could no longer sit still. He stood up and walked around the study. Then he suddenly turned around and said to Jia Ke, "My lord, this way you don't have to hold back anymore."
There will be no problem even if we immediately take charge of the world. In this way, we can quickly deal with the drought and river problems in Shaanxi. This will at least prevent countless people from losing their lives."
Jia Ke looked at Fan Kang and did not agree with his point of view, "If I wanted to take charge of the government, I could have done it a year ago. But today, the emperor has not lost his morality. If I act rashly, I am afraid that I will not do it.
He is just a usurper."
After hearing Jia Ke's explanation, Fan Kang's heart sank. Jia Ke wanted to sacrifice the lives of millions of people in exchange for his eternal reputation.
Fan Kang felt a little afraid that Jia Ke could endure it for such a long time. There have been so many powerful officials from ancient times to the present, and none of them would immediately take action as soon as they took control of the overall situation. There has never been anyone who can endure it for such a long time like Jia Ke. It’s just that
In order to make one's reputation better, countless people can be displaced. This kind of scheming is really scary.
Although Fan Kang felt a little regretful that Jia Ke didn't take action immediately. But he couldn't help but think from Jia Ke's point of view. This was related to a person's eternal reputation and his position in history. Anyone in the
In this case, everyone will choose what is beneficial to them. This is also human nature.
Jia Ke didn't take Fan Kang's expression to heart. He had 100% confidence in his ability to control.
"What do you think I should do next, sir?"
Fan Kang said without any hesitation: "Since the lord is not ready to launch an attack immediately, haven't we already thought of countermeasures? After a while, the emperor's internal treasury may not be enough to support the two disasters. At that time, the emperor will definitely have to
If the lord raises taxes to the world, he can win the hearts of his subjects as long as he strongly opposes it."
Jia Ke actually thought of this, "In this case, I will do as the teacher said. When the emperor declares that he is in disarray, he will definitely jump over the wall, and then I will be able to sway him."
Jia Ke also expressed his thoughts, and Fan Kang nodded and said: "In this way, the great country will be under the control of the Lord."
Jia Ke now feels relaxed. All the emperor's plans have been clearly analyzed by him and Fan Kang. Corresponding plans have also been made. Now as long as he walks step by step, in the next two years, he may be able to
You're done.
Jia Ke then ordered his soldiers to order a table of good wine and food at a nearby hotel, and then went to Fan Kang's study to have a drink and chat. The monarch and his ministers were not talking about military affairs this time.
"Mr. Fan, you have been with me for so long and have never received a gift from me. This time I have prepared a three-in-one house near the infantry commander's office. Why don't you refuse anymore?" Jia Ke asked Fan Kang.
His character is still very respected.
Fan Kang has been with Jia Ke for so many years, and has never made any other requests from Jia Ke. Moreover, his life is very simple, and he still lives in the infantry commander's yamen.
When Fan Kang heard what Jia Ke said, he did not refute this time. Instead, he said: "Master, with this house, I can also bring my wife and children back from my hometown. They have been farming and studying in the countryside for these years. I am very interested in it."
They take really little care of me.”
When Jia Ke saw Fan Kang agreed, he immediately smiled and said: "That's right. You are now a high-ranking official and have to be a horse and ride on it. If you don't bring your sister-in-law and nephew over, you will not be able to share the wealth and wealth together."
Yet?"
Fan Kang nodded and said, "My lord, I have indeed neglected them over the years."
In fact, Fan Kang had not brought his wife and children over because he wanted to leave a way out for his children. If he and Jia Ke failed, his children would be able to avoid this murderous disaster.
But now things have changed. Fan Kang saw that Jia Ke had taken control of the military and political power, and it was impossible for the emperor to stand up. So the capital was safer than the countryside, so he should take his wife and children over and let them enjoy them for a few days.
Prosperity and wealth.
Fan Kang also received a letter a few days ago. The letter was written by his eldest son. It was full of complaints from his wife against her husband. It even contained words that suspected that he had already raised a little wife in the capital. Fan Kang felt that he could no longer do it.
Put it off any longer, otherwise the tigress of yours will come over and you won’t know how to deal with yourself.
Seeing that Fan Kang agreed, Jia Ke continued: "I don't have much land in the capital, and my aunt is in charge of the only village. However, Feng Mo bought some manors for me in Liaodong, one of which has
It's about five to six thousand acres. I'll write a letter when I get back soon and ask Feng Mo to send you the land deed."
Fan Kang immediately stood up from the wine table and cupped his hands to Jia Ke, "Thank you, my lord, for your generous gift. Fan Kang is right here."
Fan Kang now also feels that Jia Ke is indeed generous. If he only bought the land, he would not be able to get it without 40,000 to 50,000 taels of silver. He did not expect that Jia Ke could give it to him so easily. It seemed that he was making a statement.
When I was in the town, I heard the generals say that Jia Ke was very generous to his subordinates and never stingy. It was indeed not false at all.
Afterwards, the two of them had a great time, and Fan Kang, like Jia Ke, became more considerate to him, and Fan Kang was also happy that he could live a life of a rich man from now on.
After the monarch and his ministers talked, within a day or two, Fan Kang wrote a long letter to his wife who was far away in Shanxi, and then ordered his soldiers to send it to Qi County in Shanxi in person.
But at this time in an unknown mountain village in Qixian County, Shanxi Province, Fan Kang's wife, her three sons and their daughters-in-law were plowing the fields at the head of the village.
This piece of land can be regarded as handed down by Fan Kangzu. Although it is only about 20 acres, it supports Fan Kang's studies and the food and clothing of his family, so his life is difficult.
, but it can still be supported.
However, Fan Kang was an upright and upright official and did not accept all kinds of honors. In addition, Fan Kang did not tell his wife and children what he was doing, so his family's life was not well-off, and he could only make ends meet after paying taxes.
"Boss, please don't wait too long. I really don't care about people today. If you don't finish plowing this land for me today, I won't be able to eat."
The person who was reprimanded by Fan Kang's wife was a young daughter-in-law. This person was tall and thick-set, and at first glance she looked like an ordinary rural woman.
Wankang's wife was the most dissatisfied among the three daughters-in-law, because this daughter-in-law was not as well-educated as the other two, she was just an ordinary village girl.
When she married this daughter-in-law, she was extremely dissatisfied. You must know that his eldest son was a great scholar, but Fan Kang insisted on it, so she had no choice. Therefore, since this daughter-in-law passed away, no matter what
No matter how hard she worked, she wasn't happy and always had to find fault with her and scold her.
The eldest daughter-in-law did not dare to respond when she heard her mother-in-law's scolding. She just kept her head down and quickened her pace.
At this time, the village chief was leading a young man who looked like a soldier and hurried towards them.
"Fan Kang's family, please stop plowing the land. Come over here. I have something to tell you."
When Fan Kang's daughter-in-law saw that it was the village chief, she quickly put down the hoe in her hand, pulled out a handful of grass at the edge of the field, rubbed it on her hands, and then hurriedly came to the village chief.
It is said that Fan Kang's daughter-in-law is very afraid of the village chief. You must know that he is not only the village chief Li Zheng, but also the head of the Fan clan. So although Fan Kang is an official in Beijing now, if he offends this village chief,
He didn't feel well either.
"Second uncle, if you have anything to do, you should go there in person and send someone to deliver a message. I will go over and salute you myself."
This time, the village chief did not show his face as before. Instead, he smiled with a smile on his face, and even said with some flattery: "Fan Kang's wife, isn't it enough for me to come over and see you?"
"Look what you said, you came to see us, it's not too late for us to be grateful."
"Okay, don't plow the fields today. Go back. I have something to discuss with you."
Fan Kang's daughter-in-law, after hearing this, looked at the young man next to her. She didn't know what was going on, but she had been very discerning in the village for so many years. When did she see the patriarch greeting them with a smile?
