Zhu Lin didn't panic when he heard Jia Ke's question. Instead, he said with red eyes: "It's already this time. Is there anything you don't understand?"
Jia Ke was silent for a long time, and finally said to Zhu Lin: "The Supreme Emperor has the kindness to meet me, and no one can harm his life. Moreover, the Supreme Emperor will be buried in a grand ceremony after he leaves, so you'd better put your thoughts aside.
"
Zhu Lin disagreed with Jia Ke's words, "I will not touch the Supreme Emperor. As long as he knows when he is alive that his kingdom will soon fall into the hands of the old prince's descendants, I will be satisfied."
Jia Ke nodded and said, "I'm sorry to bother you for the time being." Then he ignored her, turned around and left.
Zhu Lin looked at Jia Ke's back with a confident smile on her face. She originally thought she would never be able to take revenge again in this life, but she didn't expect that fate would play a trick on her, and their young lady actually married a tycoon. In this case, she just went with the flow.
, helping the hero, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?
And she was thinking about another thing. If it could succeed, it was not certain whose hands this country would be in. What if Jia Ke was powerful?
Jia Ke returned to Qin Keqing's room. Qin Keqing was taking Jia Zhi for a walk in the house. It seemed that Jia Zhi had eaten too much this time, so Qin Keqing walked him like a dog.
As soon as Jia Zhi saw Jia Ke come in, she wanted to open Qin Keqing's hand and rush towards Jia Ke. In the eyes of this little guy, his father was amiable, while his mother was like a fierce devil, always controlling him.
Qin Keqing did not let Jia Zhi go, but said harshly to him: "If you don't obey me, I won't feed you for three days."
When Jia Zhi heard Qin Keqing's words, she immediately became honest. Qin Keqing was not so gentle towards Jia Zhi.
Jia Ke looked at the mother and son and felt they were so warm, and his originally hard-hearted heart began to melt.
That night, after everyone went to bed, Jia Ke tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep. This was the first time Jia Ke had insomnia in this world. Qin Keqing was quickly woken up by Jia Ke next to him.
"Uncle, what happened to you tonight?"
"But sir, I have something to tell you."
"The uncle just said whatever he had to say, and he was still hesitating and tossing and turning on the bed."
"Today, the emperor has decreed that I will go on the Northern Expedition in a while. I didn't want to tell you at first, but I thought you would know sooner or later, so it would be better to tell it from my mouth." Jia Ke held Qin Keqing in his arms and gently said
explain.
When Qin Keqing heard what Jia Ke said, her body trembled, "Is it dangerous to go this time?"
"That's not true. No one in this world who can hurt me has been born yet." Jia Ke is still very confident about this.
Qin Keqing didn't say anything else, she just curled up in Jia Ke's arms. After a while, Jia Ke's chest was soaked with tears.
Jia Ke just hugged her without saying a word, and the two of them spent the night in silence.
For the next period of time, Jia Ke and the emperor were secretly arranging their own methods. They were waiting for everything to be revealed when Jia Ke went north.
Jia Ke summoned his favorite generals several times to make secret deployments. He ordered the three major battalions in the capital, as well as the infantry command yamen and the military forces of the Forbidden Army, and asked his generals to hurry up.
At the same time, Fan Kang warned these generals to be careful of the middle-level generals under their command. If these people suddenly attack with the emperor's secret decree, he asked the soldiers under these generals to resist for a while, so that other soldiers can come to the rescue.
, set aside time.
The people under Jia Ke are all junior officers. They are naturally very careful about their own safety. From now on, every one of them has their own soldiers. Even when they sleep at night, these soldiers have to guard outside the house.
This time, the Ministry of War did not delay, and all the troop deployment orders were quickly sent to the hands of the Jiedu Envoys. The Ministry of Household Affairs also opened its warehouses this time, and all the grain, grass, silver and wages used by the army were prepared in advance. And most importantly,
What's strange is that there isn't even a single drop in it.
After receiving the orders from the Ministry of War and the Military Aircraft Department, the military governors from various places also organized their troops and rushed to the capital non-stop.
Jia Ke got the news through his own intelligence agency. These military envoys met with unknown people in secret and had secret conversations for a long time.
On the twentieth day after the Ministry of War issued the transfer order, several groups of Jiedushi troops had already arrived near the capital.
Then these people settled down near the capital, and then came to the capital to see the emperor. I don't know what the emperor talked about with them that day, but this group of people talked from noon to evening, and it seemed that they had a very happy conversation.
The capital city is now in a state of turmoil. Every move of the emperor will be analyzed several times by his subordinates. This time, the emperor summoned the Jiedu envoy to the capital, and the situation was magnified several times.
But Jia Ke was not worried about this, because what the emperor and the military envoys discussed was delivered to Jia Ke's desk that night.
Jia Ke couldn't help but sneer when he looked at the information. The emperor never expected that he would have no secrets from him now.
On this day, the emperor ordered officials of the third rank and above to come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. At this time, the emperor had to receive several military envoys and general soldiers who came to the capital.
When Jia Ke, along with all the civil and military officials, finished standing in formation in the main hall, Wen Dong and Wu Xi, the emperor couldn't wait to come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
All the civil and military officials could only kneel down on the ground and shout long live.
The emperor walked up the steps and sat down on the throne. He nodded to Xia Shouzhong next to him.
Xia Shouzhong immediately took a step forward and said: "Long live the Lord's decree, all the ministers will be spared without courtesy."
Only then did Jia Ke stand up again with all the civil and military officials.
The emperor sat on the throne and looked down. Finally, his eyes fell on Jia Ge. He stared at him carefully for a long time and then moved away.
"Let's announce the admission of some of the generals who are coming to Beijing." The emperor said calmly while sitting on the throne.
Xia Shouzhong continued to stand on the steps and shouted to the people below: "The emperor has an edict. He has announced several Jiedu envoys and the general soldiers will enter the palace to see you."
Then there were eunuchs below who carried the voice outside the hall step by step. Several generals standing outside the hall in full military uniforms shouted: "I will take your orders."
Then these people entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony together. When they came to the main hall, they first knelt on the ground and bowed three times and bowed nine times to the emperor. Then they signed up and said, "I am waiting, Wang Zuo, the envoy of Taiyuan Jiedu, and the envoy of Baoding Jiedu."
Chunyu Hua, Huang Ling, the military envoy of Qingzhou, Guo Min, the military envoy of Laizhou, Lin Feng, the commander-in-chief of Shandong, and Lu Bin, the commander-in-chief of Henan, salute our emperor, long live, long live, long live."
The emperor was sitting on the throne. When he saw the mighty generals below, he felt that his back was also stiffened. His voice became louder without realizing it, "Everyone loves you."
The generals then stood up, then retreated to the generals' side and found a place to stand.
The emperor sat on the throne and said excitedly: "How did we get the information? The Tatars are about to attack Gubeikou. Therefore, we recruited several troops to go north together to give the Tatars a head-on blow."
After the emperor said this, all the ministers below him raised their hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
The emperor waved his hands above and continued: "We all know how powerful the Tatars are. In the past few years, the Tatars ravaged the hinterland of the capital. I think everyone has suffered. This time I decided to keep the enemy out of the country. Jia Ke
Where is it?"
Jia Ke quickly walked out of the class and knelt in the center of the hall, "Your Majesty, Jia Ke is here."
"I appoint you as the commander of the Northern Expedition, with the rank of general. This time when you go north, you must defeat the Tatars, otherwise military law will be imposed." The emperor said sonorously and forcefully.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as the Tatars dare to come, I will make sure they come back without any return." Jia Ke didn't hesitate at all. After all, bragging doesn't cost money now, so everyone is just acting.
After listening to Jia Ke's statement, the emperor nodded and said: "I hope General Jia will remember this sentence. The military situation is urgent now. Jia Ke, you must lead the army northward within three days without making any mistakes."
Jia Ke knelt down and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Jia Ke, accepts the order and expresses gratitude."
After thanking Jia Ke, he stood up and returned to the class.
The ministers below, whether they were from Jia Ke's line or the emperor's line, saw that the monarch and his ministers had reached a consensus on this matter, so they no longer fought, but stood honestly below.
Next, the emperor was not idle, but began to distribute rewards lavishly, including several Jiedushi and general soldiers who came to the capital.
So the etiquette for the day ended like this. After the emperor returned to the harem, the ministers also left the Hall of Supreme Harmony one after another.
When Jia Ke walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, six generals hurriedly came to Jia Ke and bowed their hands to him, "I will wait until you have seen the commander-in-chief."
Jia Ke said to them calmly: "When you go back, immediately reorganize your troops and ask the Ministry of Households for all the wages and grain. Don't wait until the time of the expedition when the grain and grass are not enough and the wages have not been paid. How can we let these brothers follow us and work hard."
"
The six people raised their hands together and said, "Don't worry, Sir, the Ministry of Revenue has sent the salary and food to the camp without any mistakes."
"There can be no mistakes in the matter of food and grass. You need to prepare more. After you are done, go to the household department and get more food and grass. If the Tatars have a stalemate with us, if the food and grass are not enough, the whole army will be annihilated.
.”
After listening to Jia Ke's words, these generals nodded and said, "When the generals find out, they will go to the Ministry of Husbandry soon and ask for a few more months of food and grass in case of emergency."
Jia Ke nodded and said to them: "In that case, let's go back to camp and prepare for the expedition." After saying this, he went out of the palace alone, leaving the six generals outside the hall.
At this time, Liu Yu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, came over and said to them: "What? Did you hit a snag with Mr. Jia?"
These six people immediately recognized the red man in front of the emperor and quickly saluted him.
"There is no need to be so polite. We are all serving the emperor." Liu Yu said very kindly, without showing the attitude of being a civil servant superior to a military commander at all.
