Besides, after Jia Ke ordered the army to prepare for departure, he didn't just go back and wait. He still had important things to arrange.
In the lobby of the Prime Minister's Yamen, Jia Ke only summoned his confidant Fan Kang this time.
"Mr. Fan, when I go north this time, I will leave the capital to you."
To say that Jia Ke is most at ease now is Fan Kang. After all, this time he is sitting in the rear. Not only does he have to deal with the affairs of the country, but he also has to worry about the emperor's counterattack. At the same time, he also has to raise food and fodder for the army in front. He is not someone who is outstanding in resourcefulness, but also has a lot of responsibilities.
Can't handle this important task.
"My lord, this time the army marching north should be uneventful. At most, there will be no difference in victory or defeat. However, now that the three major battalions are marching north together, the capital is a little empty. I'm afraid there will be a commotion at the emperor's place."
Jia Ke laughed loudly, and then his face immediately turned gloomy, "I'm just afraid that he won't make a fuss. Listen, if you find anything wrong with the emperor, you don't need to worry about him. Protect yourself and exit the capital, and then go to Baoding.
, the military governor there is also one of our people, and when the time comes we will have to see what kind of trouble this emperor can cause."
When Fan Kang heard this, he understood what Jia Ke meant. This Jia Ke was trying to catch him, and only the emperor made a fuss. When the time comes, as long as Jia Ke comes back with his soldiers, it will make sense whether he wants to capture or kill him.
Fan Kang thought that this was right. This emperor was dishonest, and there were still so many loyal ministers in the world. They always kept him there and had to be on guard against him. It was better to deal with it once and for all this time.
Fan Kang was not worried about the gentry in the world reproducing, because Jia Yuanchun had already given birth to a son for the emperor. As long as the child was pushed out, the world would be at peace.
"My lord, if that's the case, I'm relieved. My lord has to make arrangements for his family, otherwise the emperor will not let the tiger go back to the mountains this time."
Jia Ke had thought of this a long time ago, "You don't have to worry about this, I have already thought of it. I will make arrangements when I go back soon before the army goes out. It must be properly arranged."
Fan Kang was relieved when he heard that Jia Ke had arranged things in the Rongguo Mansion, and then he thought of the four princes and eight princes.
"Lord, what should we do with the four bastards and the eight princes?"
Jia Ke sneered a few times when he heard this, "They? These people now want me to die early."
As soon as Fan Kang heard Jia Ke's words, he understood that there were some secrets that he didn't know about, so he stopped talking.
However, Fan Kang is now guessing that those among the Four Kings and Eight Dukes are unwilling to be left alone, and they may not be acting secretly and have been discovered by Jia Ke.
Jia Ke thought for a while and then said: "When you go to Baoding Mansion, take the civil and military ministers who are following us with you."
"Master, don't worry, I understand the importance of it."
After hearing Fan Kang's assurance, Jia Ke felt relieved. With Fan Kang in the capital, he felt relieved.
"After you arrive in Baoding, let the emperor and his men make trouble for now. When the situation gets out of hand, I will give you a token, and you can summon the people near the capital to surround the capital."
After hearing what Jia Ke said, Fan Kang understood that it was because Jia Ke was afraid that the emperor's people would escape from the capital and go to the south of the Yangtze River to cause trouble again.
"Lord, I naturally don't have any problems here, but now the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department is Mr. Sun after all. If he competes with Wei Chen for power, what should he do?"
After hearing this, Jia Ke said contemptuously: "The token I left for you is to allow you to control the situation in the capital. If he listens to you then, just let him go. If he doesn't, then let him be."
Fan Kang has actually seen Jia Ke's distrust of Sun Yan for a long time, but he has never seen Jia Ke show it. Now seeing Jia Ke say this, he knows that there is no cover for his distrust of Sun Yan.
.
"After I leave, if you keep in touch with Wei Kunduo, I will naturally leave a message and ask him to cooperate with you."
Fan Kang is finally completely relieved now. He and Wei Kun have been cooperating for many years. When he was in Xuanfu Town, Wei Kun was working under him, so there is no problem with the cooperation between the two parties.
After Jia Ke arranged things in the capital, he immediately returned to Rongguo Mansion. As soon as Jia Ke entered the gate, there was no announcement from anyone else, and he went directly to Jia Mu's room.
Jia's mother was chatting with Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu there when she suddenly saw Jia Ke barging in with a serious look on her face, and she was shocked.
But Jia Mu was also someone who had experienced the incident. She was surprised in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface.
"Baoyu, Daiyu will stay here today. You can go back to the garden to play."
Jia Baoyu wanted to run away as soon as she saw Jia Ke come in. Now after hearing Jia Mu's words, she naturally pulled Lin Daiyu out immediately without stopping at all.
Mother Jia watched Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu leave, and then said to Jia Ke unhappily: "What's the matter? Are you in such a hurry?"
Jia Ke glanced at Yuanyang, who was still standing next to him, and then directly ordered: "Yuanyang go out first, I have something to tell the old lady."
Yuanyang glanced at Jia Mu first, and when she saw Jia Mu nodded slightly, she bowed to Jia Ke and left the main room.
"A gift to the old lady."
"Don't be ridiculous, tell me if you have anything to say." Mother Jia was a little impatient. She was so mysterious and didn't know what was going on.
When Jia Ke saw no one around, he said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, I will lead the army north in a day or two."
Jia's mother was not very worried after hearing this. He still knew a little about Jia Ke's abilities. In addition, the world was now controlled by Jia Ke, so he thought nothing would happen this time.
"Be careful when you go this time. You are different from before. Now you are the commander-in-chief of the army. You can't continue to charge into the battle." Jia's mother knew Jia Ke's bravery, so she was afraid that he would continue to charge into the battle like before.
Jia Ke did not continue to quarrel with Jia Mu on this matter, but said: "My grandson wants to ask the old lady to take our family members to live outside the city for a while, and then we can return to Beijing together when our grandson returns in triumph."
.”
Jia Mu was a little surprised when she heard this, "Is there another disaster this time?"
Jia Ke was silent for a moment, and decided to honestly confess to Jia Mu, "Old lady, the Emperor is really an eyesore, and dragging it on like this is not the way to go. If I lead the troops north this time, I will leave a loophole for the Emperor.
With this person’s mind, he will definitely do it again and again.”
Only now did Jia Mu understand Jia Ke's plan, and a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously. After all these years, the time has finally come.
"You're right. It would be good for me to take my family out to Beijing for a while, but where should I go? Brother, do you have any ideas?"
Jia Ke thought for a while and said directly: "If you ask me, the old lady should take people to Taiyuan. The civil and military officials there are all our people, and it is not far from Mount Wutai. The old lady can also go there by then.
Stay for a few days.”
"Okay, that's it. I'll take the people there in a few days."
"I think the old lady should leave tomorrow, otherwise I will lead the army north and it will be difficult for you to leave the capital again."
After hearing this, Jia Mu thought for a while, now is not the time to enjoy happiness. As long as she can survive this time, won't she be able to get glory and wealth?
"Okay, I'll call your father and your uncle in a moment. Let them prepare for today, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning."
Jia Ke felt relieved after hearing Jia Mu's assurance, and then took the people back to the Duke of Yan's Mansion.
Besides, after Jia Ke left, Jia Mu's heart started to beat loudly. After a while, Jia Mu finally calmed down, and then she shouted to the outside: "Mandarin duck."
Yuanyang, who was standing in the yard, heard Jia Mu's shout and immediately entered the house.
"What orders does the old lady have?"
"Go and invite the eldest master and the second master. Tell them that I have something urgent to see them."
Yuanyang agreed and hurried out.
After a while, Jia Zheng and Jia She hurried to Jia Mu's room.
As soon as the two people entered the room, they first bowed to Jia Mu.
After the ceremony, Jia She couldn't wait to ask: "What's so urgent about mother? Why did you call us here in such a hurry?"
Jia Mu was not going to tell them the truth, but just wanted to say something to wake them up, so she said: "I took a nap just now and dreamed about your father. He said that we are not having a good life down there now, so let's go to Mount Wutai to help them."
He prayed."
After hearing this, Jia Zheng and Jia She looked at each other and wanted to laugh. The old lady was old, and she could only dream about it.
Jia Zheng stood up and advised first: "It's normal for my mother to have thoughts and dreams every day. Mount Wutai is far away from the capital. It's better to send someone to offer incense. Why do you need to go there in person?"
Mother Jia's face was full of frost after hearing this, "You don't have to say anything, I have decided to go to Mount Wutai this time. Not only am I going, but all my family members from the three houses are also going."
Jia Zheng could only say helplessly: "Since mother wants to go to Mount Wutai, we naturally have to accompany her. Why don't we prepare for a while? It won't be too late for us to go slowly."
Seeing that they still hadn't figured it out yet, Jia's mother immediately got angry and said, "You don't have to say anything. Just make preparations when you get back today. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."
Jia Zheng could only nod helplessly, but Jia She was a little reluctant. He was living a fairy-like life in the capital, and he didn't want to go to a remote place to practice Zen and worship Buddha.
So Jia She took a step forward and said, "Since mother has to go, why don't she go with all the family members and I can look after the family in the mansion?"
After hearing this, Jia's mother became furious. She grabbed a tea bowl and threw it at Jia She, "Didn't what I said be of any use? I said the whole family should go together, didn't you hear?"
Jia Zheng came to his senses at this time. He glanced at Jia Mu and saw her eyes flickering towards him. He understood immediately and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade Jia She.
"Brother, since mother asked us to go together, let's not embarrass mother. Besides, it is also a pleasure to go to Mount Wutai to have a look."
