Jia Ke still trusts Fan Kang's judgment, since he said that there will be a disaster this year, then there must be no mistake.

"If you think so, what should I do?" Jia Ke looked at Fan Kang and said.

"The lord just needs to wait and see what happens, as for the lack of military pay at the border, this is also very simple, how many of those Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants are from the pass guarded by the lord, as long as they collect some taxes, they will have everything." Fan Kang said nonchalantly.

"Sir, these merchant gangs are not easy to deal with, they have bought off almost all the officials in the court, let's collect his tolls, I'm afraid that when the time comes, the impeachment of me will be piled up in the Heart Cultivation Palace." Although Jia Ke is not afraid, now that he has the chance to win, he is beginning to care about his reputation.

"What's so difficult about this, did the lord personally order them to collect taxes, and when others asked, they said that they were all soldiers at the border who couldn't survive and acted spontaneously. Could it be that the imperial court can really send people to arrest all these border soldiers? In the end, it's not all over. Those merchants knew that this situation was caused by the imperial court's refusal to pay military salaries, and I am afraid that they had even more opinions about the emperor. Isn't this exactly what the lord is optimistic about? Fan Kang even thought of an excuse for Jia Ke, which can be regarded as well-planned and foolproof.

Jia Ke finally let it go, so the tax collection at the border has nothing to do with him. If these businessmen want to find it, they will go to the emperor's theory, and he Jia Ke doesn't know the inside story anyway.

Thinking of this, Jia Ke also felt happy for a while, so that the problem of military salaries at the border was solved, and he could even make a lot of money.

Originally, Jia Ke still wanted to allocate the silver from his income to make up the salaries for these soldiers, but now that he sees it, there is no need at all. Jia Ke was actually a little distressed in his heart for so much silver to supply the border at once, after all, no one's silver was blown by the wind. Now it's the best of both worlds.

Jia Ke solved the difficult matter in his heart and finally relaxed.

Fan Kang saw Jia Ke relaxed, but asked again: "Lord, the emperor has such a way, but I don't believe it." Is there any other measure to divide and disintegrate the lord? ”

"I really let you guess, the emperor transferred the cavalry battalion to the north, saying that it was to reinforce Xuanfu Town and Miyun at any time, in case it was attacked by the Tatars. He also sent the King of Beijing to serve as a supervisor in the army. Jia Ke said indifferently.

"And what is the lord going to do about this?"

"What's so difficult about this, when the army leaves the capital, if the little King Beijing is interested, let him stay in the camp. If he dares to go around, let him fall from his horse and die. If he dares to intervene in the military situation, then he will be executed according to military law. When Jia Ke said this, a cold light appeared in his eyes.

The last thing Jia Ke can tolerate now is that someone sticks his hand into the army he controls. And the emperor happened to commit this taboo, so he Jia Ke didn't mind and taught the emperor a lesson.

And Jia Ke has now completely thrown the old King Beijing's concern for him out of the clouds.

Fan Kang was relieved to hear this, and Jia Ke did not slack off because he was about to succeed. He is still very sensitive to military power, and cannot tolerate anyone controlling military power, which is exactly what a tyrant has.

After Jia Ke sent Fan Kang away, he did not leave the flower hall immediately, but ordered Liu Yu to send his intelligence leader Wei Kun to meet him.

Soon Wei Kun came to Jia Ke's face.

"Is there anything going on with the three battalions lately?"

When Wei Kun heard Jia Ke's question, he hurriedly stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Back to Uncle's words, during this time, the emperor's secret agents kept contacting the middle-level generals in the three major battalions. Many of them have begun to lean like the emperor's side. ”

Jia Ke nodded after listening, and did not have any dissatisfaction. In the eyes of these middle-level generals, Jia Ke can't compare to the emperor no matter what. They are neither the leaders of the troops controlled by Jia Ke, nor the grassroots officers personally trained by Jia Ke's own soldiers and personally trained to be loyal to Jia Ke, so their loyalty to Jia Ke is naturally very poor.

Jia Ke thought for a moment, "Wei Kun, you send a message to the commanders of the three major battalions and ask them to dispose of these people." Let other people also take a look at what happens to the emperor. ”

"Don't worry, master, I'll go back in a while and draw up the list and send it to the commanders of the three major battalions."

"And from today on, the emperor's secret agents in the three major camps, you have personally dealt with them, and you can't let them be so unscrupulous anymore."

Jia Ke didn't use these spies originally, because these spies were in the hands of the Emperor, and the Emperor was still kind to Jia Ke anyway, so Jia Ke was not embarrassed to do it, anyway, these people didn't play much of a role, but now it's different, these spies have become the emperor's minions, if they are not disposed of, I don't know what the consequences will be in the future.

"Things in the palace can't be relaxed, now that the Emperor Taishang is not in good health, you must keep an eye on Ningshou Palace, in case the Emperor Taishang has any three longs and two shortcomings, come and report to me immediately."

Jia Ke is most concerned about the body of the Emperor Taishang now, because the Emperor Taishang is still very prestigious in the world for decades, and when he was there, the world's ministers and gentry were very loyal to him.

Wei Kun listened to Jia Ke's instructions, and naturally agreed: "Uncle, rest assured, our forces in the palace have penetrated very well. Now there is a trusted eunuch next to the Emperor Taishang, who is already one of our people, and he even has some secret agents that the Emperor Taishang did not hand over to the emperor. ”

Jia Ke became interested when he heard this, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to the uncle, the Emperor not only has a secret guard, but also another secret agent organization that is not small, this secret agent has been lurking before, since the Emperor Taishang handed over the secret guard to the emperor, this secret agent was activated, but it was not handed over to Dai Quan, but given to our spies, so now every move in the palace, we are very clear."

Jia Ke was very happy when he heard this, "That's good, for such a person, you should not hesitate to reward." Go back and sue him, if it will happen in the future. I will not forget his credit. ”

After Jia Ke finished talking about this, he immediately said: "Mr. Fan can't relax there. I am relieved of him himself, but his family is not in order, and there are people from the emperor and the emperor. ”

After listening to Jia Ke's words, a chill rose in Wei Kun's heart, but he still replied respectfully: "Don't worry, uncle, I have already arranged someone for Mr. Fan, and nothing will go wrong." ”

Jia Ke nodded at this time, allowing Wei Kun to retreat.

After Jia Ke finished discussing with Wei Kun, he returned to the back house, and as soon as he entered Qin Keqing's room, he saw Mrs. Wang's dowry Zhou Rui's family, holding a high-quality wooden box, and Qin Keqing seemed to be picking up something behind Qin Keqing.

As soon as they saw Jia Ke coming in, they hurriedly saluted Jia Ke together, and then Qin Keqing stepped forward to take off Jia Ke's coat. Let him take the main seat, put the stove in his hand in his arms, and then sit next to Jia Ke.

Since Qin Keqing married Jia Ke, Jia Ke's food, clothing, housing and transportation have been handled by Qin Keqing himself, and Qin Keqing has never pretended to be someone else's hands. And Jia Ke has been used to Qin Keqing for a long time, and even if the clothes were not cleaned up by Qin Keqing himself, he could see the difference.

Zhou Rui's family saw that Jia Ke sat down, and then came to Qin Keqing's side again, and sent the box to Qin Keqing again for her to choose, Jia Ke also leaned over to take a look, it turned out to be a fresh pattern of yarn flowers, this flower is really exquisite, even if Jia Ke has seen such a style in modern times, but compared to these modern ones, it seems a little rough.

These flowers are placed there one by one, and if you don't take them in your hand and touch them carefully, you will hardly find that they are made of yarn.

Jia Ke then asked, "Where did this flower come from?" It's so delicately done, I've never seen anything like it this my age. ”

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly laughed and said: "Uncle, this is sent by Aunt Xue, Mrs. ordered me to send ten to the eldest grandmother, four to the second grandmother Zhu, four to the second grandmother Lian, and the rest to a few girls, I thought about coming to the eldest grandmother first." ”

Jia Ke was quite satisfied when he heard what he said, the residence of Mrs. Wang of Rongguo Mansion was almost the entire Rongguo Mansion away from their Wuyang Marquis Mansion. This week, the Rui family was able to think of seeing Qin Keqing here, no matter what, this heart was fulfilled.

And this time, Mrs. Wang did things, and she also fulfilled her human feelings, Qin Keqing got ten flowers at once this time, not how precious these silk flowers are. is particular about giving flowers, Qin Keqing's status is too high, and she has to give her gifts several times more than other sisters, which is reasonable.

Qin Keqing picked and chose in the box, and finally picked ten juanhua flowers of different colors, then put them on his head one by one, turned his head and asked Jia Ke: "Uncle, which one do you think is good-looking?" ”

"Ha, our family looks good at everything." Jia Ke watched Qin Keqing keep gesturing with silk flowers on his head, looking so cute and cute, so he said the words of praise in his mouth, and said it if he didn't want money.

Qin Keqing's face was flushed when he said this, "What are you talking about?" Sister Zhou is still here. ”

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly said next to him: "Uncle is right, grandma's appearance is the first in our family." This flower is a blessing to wear on the big**. ”

Qin Keqing was a little embarrassed by their praise, and quickly turned around and took out six of the ten silk flowers, and then shouted to the outside: "Ruizhu, come in, I have something to tell you." ”

Rui Zhu heard Qin Keqing's voice and hurriedly came in from the outhouse, "Grandma, what do you tell me to order?" ”

Ruizhu is Qin Keqing's dowry, and when no one is around, she is generally called Miss Qin Keqing. Only when outsiders are there are people who call her grandma.

Qin Keqing took out four of the ten silk flowers, and then put the remaining six in a new wooden box, which handed the wooden box to Ruizhu.

"Send these six silk flowers to the three aunts, and let each of them pick two."

Rui Zhu took a few steps forward to take the wooden box, and then went out after giving a salute to Qin Keqing and Jia Ke.

Zhou Rui's family did not leave because of the silk flowers, but stood aside and chatted with Qin Keqing, Qin Keqing After talking to Zhou Rui's family for a while, he already understood what Zhou Rui's family had to ask for.

So Qin Keqing asked, "Is there something wrong with Sister Zhou?" ”

Zhou Rui's family is a little embarrassed now, it turns out that her son-in-law Leng Zixing, when he was doing antique trading, was a little shoddy, and when ordinary people encountered this situation, they thought they were unlucky for the power of Jiafu. Who would have thought that this time he had encountered a hard stubble, and the person who was deceived by him had some relationship with the king of Nan'an County in Beijing, so Shuntianfu did business this time, directly broke into Leng Zixing's shop, and put him in prison.

Originally, she originally begged Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, but after handing over Jia Zheng and Jia Yu's posts to Shuntian Mansion, Shuntian Mansion Yi did not release them. This made her shocked and angry, you must know that Jia Ke is now in power in the capital, and the status of Rongguo Mansion has also risen sharply. There are not many people in the capital who can not buy the face of Rongguo Mansion, and the current situation is probably that his son-in-law has offended someone who should not be offended.

In the end, she spent money on the relationship, and then she knew the truth of the matter, and after getting the reason, she was scared to death. Only then did he have to come to the Wuyang Marquis Mansion to ask Jia Ke and Qin Keqing for help.
