When Jia Yuanchun saw that all the maids and eunuchs around him had left, he said to Mrs. Wang: "Mom, my uncle has been away for so many years. Shouldn't it be time to bring him back to the capital so that our family can be reunited?"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she immediately began to think about it. In the years since Wang Ziteng left, the Rongguo Mansion had become more and more glorious, but without Wang Ziteng as her backer, her status had greatly declined. Now she was thinking about it after hearing what her daughter said.
"Your uncle is not young anymore. He has been working hard at the border for these years. Since you are so filial, I will go back and discuss it with your father. What do you think?"
Jia Yuanchun was naturally happy after hearing this, "My uncle holds a high position at the border, and I will arrange a suitable position for him when he comes back."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang also nodded, and then said directly: "Your uncle used to be the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp. Now that he has come back, he will naturally still have his original position. If you add some titles to your uncle, it can be considered as his contribution over the years.
.”
After hearing this, Jia Yuanchun's face became even more joyful. If Wang Ziteng could serve as the governor of the Beijing Camp, his position would be more secure. Even if Jia Ke wanted to usurp the throne, he would have to see if Wang Ziteng could do it.
promise.
After the mother and daughter discussed it, Mrs. Wang returned to Rongguo Mansion and told Jia Zheng about the matter that night.
After Jia Zheng heard this, he also felt that it was time for his uncle to come back and rest after suffering hardships at the border for so many years, so he promised Mrs. Wang to mention this matter to Jia Ke.
The day before Jia Ke left Beijing, Jia Ke returned to Rongguo Mansion again and said goodbye to Jia Mu and Jia Zheng. Jia Mu was naturally full of people, so Jia Ke was very careful and caring.
When Jia Ke arrived at Jia Zheng's place, Jia Zheng also gave some instructions. When he finished speaking, Jia Zheng changed his tone and said to Jia Ke: "Your uncle Wang Ziteng has been at the border for these years.
Now that our family has grown up, we cannot say that we are enjoying the glory and wealth while letting our relatives suffer outside. Do you want to bring it back?"
After Jia Ke heard this, he immediately felt a strong conspiracy coming over him. Although Wang Ziteng said he was his uncle in name, he was actually closer to Mrs. Wang. What would he give him when he came back?
Position, if he continues to be in charge of the Beijing camp, wouldn't he be making himself unhappy?
In addition to the above reasons, now that he is leaving the capital, he has transferred Wang Ziteng back to take charge of the military. If this is the case, when he comes back, the capital may not be able to make the decision himself.
"What my father said makes sense, but now I need my uncle's support when I leave the capital border. If he leaves, I won't have anyone to direct me if anything happens."
After hearing this, Jia Zheng also felt that this was the truth. If Wang Ziteng left Jiubian, no one would be able to command him if something happened, so Jia Zheng could only put the matter aside.
"In that case, let your uncle continue to work hard for a few more years. But he has worked hard in the past few years, and it's time to give him a title."
Jia Ke had no objection to this matter. It was just an empty title. What would happen if it were added to him?
"What my father said is that I can't catch up now. When I come back from the south, I will issue a decree to upgrade my uncle's title."
Jia Zheng was satisfied after hearing this, and then he suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Jia She came to discuss with him and wanted to expand his house.
"Your uncle came over a few days ago and said that his house is too small and not worthy of the title of Marquis. He wants to expand the house. What do you think?"
Although Jia Zheng does not need Jia Ke's consent for this matter, Jia Ke is actually the head of the Jia family now, so Jia Zheng must discuss it with Jia Ke before proceeding.
"I think it's okay. My father now occupies the Rongguo Mansion and has the title of Duke. Naturally, he has nothing to do. And the Ningguo Mansion next to it is also the Duke's mansion. Calculated, it is the most miserable place for the uncle. It's okay to build him a house.
As it should be.”
Jia Zheng was a little troubled after hearing this, "There is no free land around us. I don't know where to build it?"
Jia Ke understood immediately upon hearing this that this was Jia Mu's intention and she did not want the Rongguo Mansion to be separated.
"Father, I think it would be better to build a piece of land with the Ningguo Mansion next to it, and then demolish the place where the uncle lives now and build him a Marquis Mansion. This will not lose his identity."
Jia Zheng could only nod his head after hearing this, and then said uncertainly: "When we saw the Grand View Garden, we occupied a large garden of the Ningguo Mansion next to it, and now we occupy their land. What will others think about this?"
Jia Ke smiled and said nonchalantly: "Father, don't worry, it's just temporary now. In the future, our Rongguo Mansion and several nearby mansions will just be used as old residences.
My elders and brothers will naturally have a better place to live."
Jia Zheng nodded after hearing this. He already understood what Jia Ke meant. This means that one day in the future, those of the Jia family will be promoted to official positions, and naturally they will not be able to live in crowded Ningrong Street.
.
After Jia Ke left Rongguo Mansion, he returned to the palace. He was thinking about what Jia Zhengrang had just transferred back to Wang Ziteng, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became.
When Jia Ke was troubled, Li Deshan came to Jia Ke's side gently and said, "Master, there is news from Dai Quan."
Jia Ke glanced at Li Deshan in surprise, Ai Quan had been following Jia Yuanchun for so long, what news could he have from him?
"Master, Dai Quan got the information. Yesterday afternoon, the Empress Dowager announced that the husband and wife of the Rongguo Mansion had entered the palace. The mother and daughter mainly discussed in secret how to recruit Prince Teng to come to the capital and serve as the governor of the capital camp.
matter."
When Jia Ke heard this, he still didn't understand. This was Jia Yuanchun being dishonest again. Couldn't this Jia Yuanchun be his puppet honestly?
Jia Ke is angry now and must not let Jia Yuanchun be so unscrupulous.
"My order is that from today on, no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace without orders from me and the princess."
After hearing this, Li Deshan quickly agreed, then turned around and went out, giving Jia Ke's order.
And Jia Ke was sitting on the throne, his face covered with frost. If it weren't for the fact that it was not yet time for him to touch Jia Yuanchun, he would have asked their mother and son to go see the late emperor together.
"Send someone to tell Jia Yuanchun to let her enjoy wealth and wealth in the palace. If anything messy happens again, don't blame me."
Li Deshan listened on the sidelines, and quickly remembered them all in his mind, and then repeated them softly next to Jia Ke. Until he saw Jia Ke nodding there, he pushed forward and exited Qianqing Palace.
.
After Jia Ke sent away Li Deshan, he went to the side hall of Qianqing Palace, where Qin Keqing lived.
Early the next morning, Jia Ke got up early, and then, under the service of Qin Keqing, he put on his helmet and armor and tied his robe.
At this time, Shi Xiangyun also appeared beside Jia Ke. She adjusted Jia Ke's robe with red eyes.
Jia Ke looked at Shi Xiangyun who was about to cry, touched her head and said with a smile: "What's there to cry about? This is not your character Xiangyun."
After Shi Xiangyun heard this, he burst out laughing, and then hit Jia Ke, "I'm almost dying of anxiety, and you're still making fun of me."
When Jia Ke saw Shi Xiangyun laughing, he became serious. He turned around and said to Qin Keqing: "The family depends on you, my aunt. You take her to the palace and live there for a while."
Qin Keqing nodded and said with a forced smile on his face: "Don't worry, uncle, I will pick up my aunt tomorrow."
Jia Ke nodded, then turned around and walked out of the side hall door.
Qin Keqing and Shi Xiangyun stood at the entrance of the palace until they saw Jia Ke's figure disappearing, and then they came back again.
When Jia Ke left Qianqing Palace, Liu Yu and Jia Ke's personal guards were already waiting at the palace gate.
Jia Ke took the reins of the horse from Liu Yu and then climbed onto the fire dragon pony. Next to him, Ben Bray followed Jia Ke's Fangtian painted halberd. They left the palace and headed straight for the city. door.
They came out of the city and went straight to the military camp of Fenwu Camp. Xiao Yue had already been waiting for Jia Ke there with a camp full of generals and the commanders of the Eight Banners.
When these people saw Jia Ke coming, they immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted Jia Ke together.
Jia Ke urged the BMW and came to them, "Generals, get up and follow me into the camp."
So the generals stood up and followed Jia Ke to the Chinese army's tent.
Sitting in the Chinese army's tent, Jia Ke didn't talk nonsense and directly ordered: "It's getting late, so I order all the troops to set off immediately."
After Jia Ke issued the order, his generals at all levels immediately returned to their own military camps and began to form their troops.
After a while, trumpets sounded one after another over the camp, and the soldiers neatly left the camp one by one and headed straight to the south.
At this time, Jia Ke once again left the Chinese army's tent. Under the service of his own soldiers, he mounted his horse again and came to the outside of the military camp. At this time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were already waiting at the Desheng gate of the north gate of the capital.
When these people saw Jia Ke and his troops arriving outside the south gate of the capital, they all immediately bowed and saluted.
Jia Ke sat on his horse and bowed his hands to these people, and then said: "This time when I go south, I will rely on you all in Beijing."
The ministers below hurriedly said together: "I will do my duty faithfully, regardless of the prince's instructions."
Jia Ke just nodded, then handed over his hands again without saying anything, and then led the men and horses to the south.
At this time, I heard someone shouting: "Wait a minute, go south, wait for me."
When Jia Ke heard the shouting, he turned around and saw that it was Jia Zheng. He was riding in a carriage, rushing over quickly, with half of his body already leaning out of the carriage.
At this time, Jia Ke quickly got off his horse and stood by the roadside waiting.
The carriage carrying the injection had already stopped when it was approaching Jia Ke. Jia Zheng quickly got out of the carriage and came to Jia Ke in three steps at a time. He grabbed his hand and said, "This is the high road to the mountain." Far away, my son must be more careful."
"Father, please don't worry. There will be people taking care of you in the camp. How can you let your son suffer any injustice?"
After hearing this, Jia Zheng also nodded, and then said: "The old lady originally wanted to come to see you off, but I stopped her. She asked me to bring you a message, so that you don't lose your grandpa's authority."
Jia Ke nodded again, then clasped his fists and raised his hands to Jia Zheng, put his horse back on his horse, and soon disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Fan Kang saw that Jia Ke had disappeared, and then he said to the ministers: "My lord has left, let's go back first."
After Fan Kang finished speaking to the ministers, he came to Jia Zheng again: "Old prince, there is no need to worry. With my lord's ability to lead troops and the elites under his command, those small countries in the south can be conquered with just a snap of the fingers."
