When Fan Kang saw Jia Ke in trouble and looked at Meng Ming's nonchalant look, he began to doubt Meng Ming's attitude and stance. However, Jia Ke still trusted Meng Ming now, and Jia Ke wouldn't even say it himself.
will believe it.
Fan Kang pondered for a moment and then his eyes glowed with golden light. Since Meng Ming wanted to embarrass Jia Ke, he would let his generals use his plan to let everyone in the world know who owns the country now. Sometimes it depends on which side you are on.
So Fan Kang stood up, raised his hands and said to Brother Jia: "My lord, what's so difficult about this? Isn't it just a leader who stands on the golden palace and selects talents? Since the emperor can do it, can't my lord do it?"
Sun Yan and Feng Chaoxin both nodded and did not object after hearing this. The two of them now wished that Jia Ke would rebel now. In this way, they would all be the founding heroes of the country, and their descendants would be able to enjoy the honors and wealth in the future, unlike now where they are a little worried.
of.
But Lao Mengmin instinctively objected, "Duke Yan, this plan is not possible. Don't listen to Fan Kang's nonsense. He wants to expose Duke Yan to injustice."
Fan Kang glanced at Old Meng Ming sarcastically, sat down again, and stopped talking.
Jia Ke, on the other hand, was thinking about Fan Kang's advice just now, and thought it was a good idea.
Jia Ke believes that the most important task now is to slowly eliminate the common people and gentry's longing for the imperial court. When everyone in the world forgets about the current imperial court, it will be time for him to change the dynasty. This examination is just the beginning.
.
After Jia Ke made up his mind, he immediately made a decision, "I think Fan Kang's approach is good. The emperor is cultivating himself in the harem now, so don't disturb his old man. I will replace the emperor in this palace examination."
Seeing that Jia Ke had made up his mind, several other people said nothing. Only Lao Mengming looked a little gloomy.
After everyone retreated, Fan Kang walked around outside and returned to the inner courtyard where Jia Ke was.
Jia Ke was reading a few booklets at this time. When he saw Fan Kang entering his room without anyone announcing it, he felt a little unhappy in his heart, but it didn't show on the surface.
"Mr. Fan is here, please take a seat quickly."
Fan Kang saluted Jia Ke first, and then sat next to him.
"Mr. Fan left and came back again. Could it be that something happened?"
Fan Kang collected his thoughts and then said: "Reporting to my lord, I really have something to say this time."
"If you have anything to say, just say it. There is nothing else that our monarchs and ministers cannot say."
Fan Kang then put aside his worries and said: "I see that Meng Ming has some dissatisfaction, so it is best not to let him continue to work at the military aircraft."
Jia Ke didn't say anything after hearing this. He stood up, walked around the hall a few times, and then said: "Although Meng Ming has some dissent, he doesn't have the courage to act, and this person is quite famous among scholars.
Prestige, I also need him to establish an image in the court."
After hearing this, Fan Kang retorted: "My lord, there is no need to be so hesitant now, and we have not yet completely controlled the world. It is better not to reuse these people who have different intentions."
After hearing Fan Kang's words, Jia Ke felt a little disapproving. Old Meng Ming, what threat does a man who is about to be buried still have?
"Mr. Fan, you don't have to be like this. I don't think old Meng Ming has the guts to get involved in those messy things."
Fan Kang wanted to remonstrate, but when he saw the impatient look on Jia Ke's face, he shut up knowingly.
After Fan Kang withdrew, Jia Ke thought about what Fan Kang had just said again. In fact, Jia Ke also felt that something was wrong with Old Meng Ming. He kept speaking for the emperor during this period. Jia Ke also felt a little annoyed, but indeed now
He still needed his huge prestige among the scholars, so he let him go for the time being, but Fan Kang had reminded himself just now that he could not turn a blind eye.
"Li Deshan, send someone to monitor Lao Mengming's residence to see if he has any unusual movements."
Li Deshan listened to the repeated promises from the side, and at the same time thought that other people in the military aircraft department should also be more careful and send a few people to watch them so that if anything happened to them in the future, he could reply.
Within a few days, Liu Yu selected the candidates for the soldiers to be sent to various places, and then handed the list to Jia Ke.
After Jia Ke got the list, he did not immediately send it to the Ministry of War. Instead, he gave the list to Wei Kun first, and then gave a copy to Li Deshan next to him, asking the two spy chiefs to submit the list.
Check each person individually.
These two people still have some skills, and they have very tight control over the area around the capital.
Most of these soldiers were farmers from Jia Ke's village, and some were born from families in Rongguo Mansion. Finally, they were honest young men recruited from nearby areas.
Therefore, in less than two days, Wei Kun and Li Deshan checked these people from beginning to end.
This investigation also allowed them to find two or three problematic people. On the surface, these people were nearby villagers, and they also had their relatives underneath. However, these people had almost never returned home, and they were just with them.
The other soldiers are completely different.
After Jia Ke got the news from below, he thought about recruiting Liu Yu.
"You are responsible for recruiting these soldiers. What is going on with these people?"
After Jia Ke finished speaking, he threw the information investigated by Wei Kun and Li Deshan in front of Liu Yu.
Liu Yu is an honest man. He has always acted prudently since he joined Jia Ke. Jia Ke has never said a word to him, but now he starts to reprimand him, which shows that he is very dissatisfied with him this time.
Liu Yu did not dare to neglect, picked up the paperwork on the ground and looked at it carefully, and then started to sweat on his head.
Although Liu Yu had to investigate his personal circumstances when recruiting soldiers, Liu Yu was not in this profession after all. Besides, he was an honest and dull person. Although he was careful in his work, he had no frivolousness, so he was deceived.
This is also normal.
After reading the information, Liu Yu fell to his knees with a plop and kept kowtowing to Jia Ke.
"Master, my servant is not doing my job well. Master, please punish me."
Jia Ke did not intend to punish Liu Yu. After all, he had been with him from the beginning and had made meritorious service on the battlefield. He had not had any second thoughts about him for so many years. He just wanted to give him a few words to make him feel better.
He will be more diligent in the future.
"Okay, get up. Be more careful in your work in the future, and you will never make such a mistake again."
After receiving Jia Ke's order, he stood up and stepped aside tremblingly. Even now, he was still sweating coldly. Fortunately, Jia Ke sent someone to check this time. What if Jia Ke was careless and let these few people go?
If someone occupies a high position, if things go wrong, Jia Ke will be stabbed in the back.
Liu Yu wiped the sweat from her body, and then asked Jia Ke in a dripping voice: "Master, what should I do with these spies? How about I, my servant, pick up their heads soon?"
Jia Ke thought for a while and asked Li Deshan next to him: "You are in charge of the secret guards of the imperial court. Are these people sent by the original emperor and the Supreme Emperor?"
Li Deshan immediately replied: "Returning to the master, the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor also thought about sending people to break into the master's personal troops, but every time, they failed due to Liu Yuliu's caution."
Jia Ke felt a little gloomy when he thought of this. It seems that a new force is infiltrating his organization. Whose force does this belong to?
"Wei Kun, Li Deshan."
As soon as the two men heard Jia Ke's call, they immediately took a step forward and knelt on the ground to listen to Jia Ke's instructions.
"You two, we must strictly investigate this new organization, and you must dig out the mastermind behind them."
After Wei Kun heard this, he immediately agreed.
But Li Deshan was a little hesitant, and finally had the courage to say to Jia Ke: "Master, the secret guards of the imperial court have also discovered a secret force that is constantly infiltrating among the civil and military officials of the imperial court. **** has been ordered.
Secret guards, we must dig out these people."
This is the first time Jia Ke has heard of this story.
"What was the final result?"
"It's a pity that they are hidden too deeply, and although they infiltrate, they are very careful and never touch those sensitive agencies. Therefore, so far, they have only caught a trace of them, and they still have no idea what is going on behind the scenes.
Know."
After Jia Ke heard this, his mind began to spin rapidly. If he wanted to form such a huge secret agent force, he would not only have the ability, he would also need huge financial support.
In order for his two secret agent organizations to survive, Jia Ke almost went bankrupt. The millions of taels of silver paid by the Eight Banners tribes every year were already spent on these two secret agent organizations.
And there must be a lot of money behind this newly emerged organization, otherwise how could they buy talents.
And there are not many people in the world who have this ability. Apart from the three major business gangs, I'm afraid there is only the Zhen family in Jiangnan.
But I'm afraid they wouldn't do such a thing. These four families now enjoy endless prosperity and wealth. There is no need to raise eyebrows and go against the then Supreme Emperor. If this is not the case, it will be a catastrophe of genocide. They will not do such a thing.
Stupid thing.
But nothing is absolute, and some things may be forced out of your control.
I'm afraid the only people who have the ability, money, and desire to do so are those left by Qin Keqing's father.
It seems that the nanny Zhu Lin did not confess the whole situation to him. So, are these people found among his own soldiers this time possibly also from the Zhu Lin clan?
Moreover, the Zhu Lin family asked for money from themselves a few days ago. I am afraid that their organization has developed too much and now the money is not available, so they want to get some money from Jia Ke for their own development.
"Wei Kun, didn't I tell you to pay attention to Zhu Lin before? What has she done recently?"
Wei Kun immediately replied: "Since the master gave the instructions, the slave did not dare to neglect, so he arranged people beside Zhu Lin to monitor day and night. However, Zhu Lin seems to be very responsible. Apart from talking to his wife in the inner house, he usually does not
He was in the house and didn’t interact with anyone.”
Jia Ke became even more confused when he heard this. Jia Ke knew that the Zhu Lin family had a large number of spies, and even the two ministers of the dynasty belonged to them.
Now there is no evidence of their contact, which is puzzling.
Doesn’t this Zhu Lin need to control these spies? Or is there someone else who really controls this organization?
