In the next two days, Jia Baoyu really concentrated on arranging the sisters' accommodation, and didn't pay much attention to other things.

There was only one piece of news that forced him to pull out.

The prince returned to Beijing.

Wang Ziteng, the elder brother of Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, that is, Jia Baoyu's maternal uncle, the political leader of the four major families, returned from the border patrol of the nine provinces of Yipin.

The prince's return to Beijing, not to mention that it is a major event for the Wang family, the Jia family, etc., is also a matter worthy of solemn treatment for the imperial court.

There is only one reason, because Wang Ziteng is the person who has been promoted to the army by the emperor today, and now he is the highest person in the position!

Emperor Taishang's martial arts, Yuyu for more than 50 years.

Whether it is in the court or in the army, almost all the upper-level officials are drawn by the emperor.

The court said that after all, the Emperor Taishang has not asked about political affairs for more than ten years, and Emperor Jingtai already has a group of his own henchmen. But in the military

In the past ten years, there has been no Great War in the Great Xuan, and Emperor Jingtai has not been able to establish prestige in the army. can only be slowly replaced by civilian officials and some low-level generals.

And it is obvious that civilian officials who have no military merits are in charge of the army, and it is difficult to convince the soldiers below. The low-level generals are difficult to climb up.

Take the forbidden army as an example, the most elite palace front division has 40,000 horses, and now the department is stationed in Xiyuan and the imperial city, and only listens to the orders of the emperor alone.

Even if it is the 30,000 horses of the Mabu Military Division of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Jingtai may not be able to control it completely.

Because, the deputy director of the Ma Bujun Division is the commander of the envoy and is a close confidant of the emperor

These twists and turns are also unclear in a few words, in short, Emperor Jingtai has very little influence in the army.

Wang Ziteng is an outlier, although he is a civilian official, he has been effective in governing the army over the years, and now he has become one of the few military attaches with the most status in the world step by step.

This time I went back to Beijing to patrol the border, and I heard that it was very effective.

Looking at Emperor Jingtai's attitude in the court before, he probably has to reuse him.

He is already from the first grade, if he is transferred at the same level, it is fine, if he is promoted again, he is a good product!

In the entire Daxuan, except for the title, there are only a handful of martial arts positions in Zhengyipin. Many of them are veteran generals in the army, who have already been honored, and the glory given by the imperial court.

Therefore, whether Wang Ziteng takes this step or not, he is already the most powerful top military attache in the entire Daxuan.

According to the two-year prospect Emperor Tai transferred him to the nine sides, it can be guessed that Emperor Jingtai must have taken a fancy to the 300,000 soldiers and horses in the nine northern provinces.

Perhaps this time the prince returned to Beijing, Emperor Jingtai would begin to arrange for him to control the military power of the nine provinces, not just before, and be ordered to inspect.

Even if there are no these reasons, the prince returns to Beijing, and Jia Baoyu, the nephew, has to pay a visit.

Therefore, on the afternoon of the second day after Wang Ziteng returned to Beijing, it was estimated that Wang Ziteng could breathe a sigh of relief on official business, and he came to the palace.

Because the prince took up a foreign post and left Beijing with his family, Jia Baoyu came to the palace for the first time.

Spacious courtyard, magnificent building.

Although the regulation is not as good as the Rongguo Mansion, the excitement in it is not lost at all.

Jia Baoyu, under the guidance of Wang Ren, came to Wang Ziteng's study.

This Wang Ren is Wang Xifeng's elder brother. However, like Shi Xiangyun, he followed his uncle because of the death of his parents, and he was also in charge of the palace in the Jing Dynasty.

He looks okay and looks docile. But Jia Baoyu knew that this was not a good thing.

One of the twelve hairpins in Jinling, Sister Qiao's judgment refers to "ruthless uncle and traitorous brother".

If the guess of the later generations of red scholars is correct, then the ruthless uncle refers to this person.

Wang Ren, forgetting benevolence, unrighteous also.

Just like treating Jia Yucun, Jia Baoyu treats such people as if he can, he can't be offended, just understand it in his heart.

Therefore, he thanked him with a smile, and stepped into Wang Ziteng's study in an imposing and loud call like a dragon bell.

"Baoyu visited his uncle, congratulations to his uncle on Rong Ren Zhuokai, and the class teacher returned to Beijing."

Jia Baoyu entered the door and looked at a man sitting behind the first case, and he didn't look at it wantonly, but bowed down first.

Then two or three breathlessly stopped screaming, and then they looked up and looked at the person in front of them.

Wang Ziteng is about fifty years old, and he is definitely an old man in this era, but he doesn't look old at all.

He has wide ears and a broad face, and a tall body.

Wang Ziteng had obviously looked at Jia Baoyu from head to toe, and when Jia Baoyu looked at him, he nodded slightly, "Yes, it is indeed a world of difference from two years ago." I was at the border before, and I was surprised to hear your rumors, but now it seems that there is really a meaning that Shibei should be impressed for three days. ”

As Wang Ziteng's identity, it is already very elevating to say this, so Jia Baoyu bowed again, "Uncle is too famous, Baoyu is just a little bit of learning, and it coincides with luck, so he has a little gain, and he should not be praised by his uncle so much." ”

Wang Ziteng smiled on his face and asked directly, "Say, what are you looking for me?" ”

is worthy of being a military attaché, and his speech is much more direct than that of the officials of the imperial court.

You know, even in the Taishi Mansion, usually the Taishi will ask to sit down first

However, Jia Baoyu naturally did not look strange at all.

The so-called heaven and earth are big, and my maternal uncle is the biggest.

Uncle is usually the person who has the right to speak in the mother's family, and in this era of a large number of brothers and cousins, only the interests of the mother's family are the biggest support for a person.

The uncle represents the maternal family, so the uncle should be said to be the person with the highest status among all relatives except for blood relatives.

"Back to my uncle, Baoyu is here, and one is on the order of his mother to come to visit. The second Baoyu has not seen his uncle Jinmian for two years, and today he came to ask for peace and listen to the teachings. ”

Wang Ziteng nodded when he heard this. In this way, it means that nothing is going on.

So he symbolically cared about Mrs. Wang, and asked a few words about Jia Baoyu's general situation in the past two years, and then without saying anything, he asked Jia Baoyu to go to the back hall to meet his aunt, and asked him to stay for a family meal at night.

Jia Baoyu should be.

Speaking of which, Prince Teng was silent, how much did Jia Baoyu have to say to him.

Wang Ziteng's power was too heavy, and he didn't look very easy-going, so he obediently retired.

After that, I went to the backyard of the palace.

Aunt Li is also a woman in her forties and fifties, and she is much more affectionate than Wang Ziteng, so she put down the chores in her hand and greeted Jia Baoyu in person.

Jia Baoyu also showed some skills to please Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and coaxed her to be happy.

Xi Yuan.

Since Emperor Taishang learned from Bao Ran's mouth that the third highness of the year, Yuan Qi, still had a son left in the world, he immediately mobilized the power of the secret to re-investigate the events of that year.

Today, another mysterious person was quietly announced into the Shen Temple.

Also in the study of the Emperor Taishang, there was silence, only a man in Tsing Yi kneeled with his head bowed down.

"How's the investigation going?"

"Back to the old emperor, the subordinates have found out that among the four sons and three daughters of Prince Yizhong, only His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was born by Princess Zhen, and his birthday was on the 17th day of the first month of the year of Yichou."

The Emperor Taishang silently calculated when he heard this, this year is the year of Gengchen, according to this calculation, if he is still alive, he should be fifteen years old!

"However, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, like other little princes and little county lords, was killed in the bloody case in the year of Yichou.

After the investigation of Dali Temple confirmed that all the personnel of the palace were killed, and no one was spared. ”

Hearing the word blood, a bloody color flashed in the old eyes of the Emperor Taishang, but it quickly disappeared, and after asking two more questions, he asked him to go down.

Then, another man in Tsing Yi came in.

This person came back from Jiangnan.
