Chapter 243 Inquiry
Jia Ke ordered all the troops and horses to withdraw from the capital and settle outside the city, also considering that it is not easy to have too many people in the Beijing division, and too many people and horses may cause panic among the people in Beijing. When the people and horses withdraw from the capital, the people of the capital will be able to calm down and return to their previous lives.
Then Jia Ke ordered Zheng Kai, "You take our 10,000 infantry to the inner city to station, monitor the princes and ministers, and if you find that the princes and ministers are colluded, immediately execute the ministers, imprison the princes, and wait for the emperor's fate." ”
When all the envoys and commanders heard Jia Ke's order, they were all a little scared. This order is obviously not something that Jia Ke can give, it must be an order from the emperor. It seems that the emperor is ruthless this time, if there is a little disobedience at this time, I am afraid that he will immediately have two heads.
At this time, the point in the hearts of the envoys and the general soldiers had disappeared without a trace, and what they were thinking about now was to hurry out of the city and station, so as not to cause trouble again.
Zheng Kai got Jia Ke's order, and immediately ordered people to come to the inner city, and set up sentry posts in front of all major roads and mansions.
Especially in each royal palace, each palace has hundreds of soldiers guarding the front and rear, and those ministers are not very good, but which of these people in the palace is not the emperor's nobles? Now I see people surrounding their houses, where can they tolerate it?
Especially in the Second Prince's Mansion, the second prince was originally eyeing the position of the crown prince, this time the prince committed a major incident and has been imprisoned by the emperor, he thinks that according to the principle of order between the young and the old, he is the most likely to become the prince.
Therefore, in the past few days, the second prince has secretly gathered his cronies in the palace, wanting to discuss how to advise the emperor next, so as to crown himself as the crown prince.
As a result, in the middle of noon today, he received a report from the governor of the mansion, saying that the gate of the mansion had been blocked by soldiers and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
This can make the second prince angry, in addition to the anger of the emperor and the crown prince in his life, where has he ever been like this.
When the side door of the second prince's mansion was opened, and the second prince came out with people, he saw more than 200 sturdy soldiers standing outside, all wearing armor, with knives hanging from their waists, and steel guns in their hands, surrounding his mansion tightly.
When the second prince saw that he could hold back his anger here, he came directly to a soldier and was about to kick him when he raised his foot. Who knew that he had just raised his foot and before he could make a move, the waist knife in the hand of another soldier next to him was already on his neck.
The second prince was immediately frightened and didn't dare to move, and Changshi next to him hurriedly came over and scolded: "Don't hurry up and put down the blade, do you know who this is?" This is the emperor's second prince. ”
At this moment, a hundred households came out of these soldiers, and he came to the front of the second prince, waved his hand at the soldier, and the soldier immediately put away his sword and stepped aside.
And now that the second prince is already a little weak, Changshi next to him immediately came over to support him, and the second prince breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Who gave you the courage to dare to surround the lonely mansion, don't you want to die?" ”
The hundred households had already received the instructions from above, so they said fearlessly: "On the orders of the emperor, all the princes should study in the palace with peace of mind, do not go out, if there is a minister of transportation, the prince himself will be immediately banned, and the minister of transportation will be immediately beheaded." Is there anything else the second prince has to ask? Little one, I will show you together. ”
When the second prince heard him say this, his face immediately turned pale, he knew that the emperor had suspected all the princes at this time, and if he made a slight move at this time, the emperor would never be merciful.
The second prince turned around in his heart, and then a smile appeared on his face, "It turns out that my father cares about us and is afraid that we will be in danger, so he brought you here." In that case, I studied quietly in the house for a few days. But it's hard work for all of you to guard my house. ”
When the second prince said this, he said to Changshi beside him: "Now that the weather is cold, you can't be wronged brothers, you hurry up and prepare hot soup for the brothers to keep warm, and prepare some food, so that the brothers can't take the throne and guard the house, and they are hungry again." ”
After the second prince said this, he returned to the palace with a smile and his back hand, and the smile on his face disappeared as soon as he entered the palace, and his face became hideous and terrifying. Thinking in his heart, this time he had made a note of it, and one day let their lord know how powerful he was.
Besides, Jia Ke didn't know that there was such a thing as the second prince, and after he dealt with these things, he went back to Rongguo Mansion with his own soldiers. He has been running around the capital for several days, and he has not returned to Rongguo Mansion. Now that the capital has finally settled down, people from all walks of life have withdrawn from the capital.
He was finally able to go home and have a good rest, Jia Ke thought about the next few years, and it seemed that there would be no big things in the court. According to the Dream of Red Mansions, the current emperor is afraid that he will retreat to the Emperor Taishang, but I don't know whether in the Dream of Red Mansions, whether the crown prince won and forced the emperor to abdicate as the emperor, or whether the emperor turned the tables but was not in good health, and could only be Chan and the new emperor.
With Jia Ke's current understanding of the emperor's body, I'm afraid the emperor has to give in, and his body really can't hold on to dealing with the government every day. I don't know how the new emperor treats him, the emperor's henchman.
However, in Jia Ke's opinion, Emperor Jingshi abdicated as Emperor Taishang, and I am afraid that he will not give up power. will definitely be like Emperor Qianlong on the earth, grasp the big things in his hands, and hand over those trivial things to the new emperor to deal with. And if the emperor wants to achieve this goal, they, the emperor's henchmen, will definitely have great power to check and balance the new emperor. In this way, it seems that it is not a matter of defense for the time being, as for the future, if the new emperor does not do anything to him, then he will be fine, and if the new emperor does not treat him badly, he Jia Ke is not a loyal and filial son.
Jia Ke thought about it and returned to Rongguo Mansion, and saw that near Rongguo Mansion, countless soldiers were patrolling back and forth to prevent Xiao Xiao from coming to make trouble. And the minions who came in and out of the Rongguo Mansion all stood up one by one, looking forward to pride. The proud expression on his face could be seen for miles.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, he saw Lin Zhixiao there, already waiting for him. Lin Zhixiao looked at Jia Ke, hurriedly went up and was held by him by the horse's head, and then reported to him in his mouth. "Uncle, are you back? The old lady and the two masters, as well as Uncle Zhen from Dongfu, have been waiting for you for a long time. ”
As soon as Jia Ke heard that all the family members in Jiafu were waiting for him, he didn't dare to slack off, so he dismounted directly and walked to Rongguo Mansion, asking as he went: "Where are the old ladies?" I'm going to meet you. ”
"The old lady and the old man are waiting in the old lady's room on the west side, let me wait for the master at the door."
Jia Ke heard Jia Mu waiting, and hurriedly took a few steps faster, since he crossed into this world, Jia Mu has taken care of him a lot. Whatever the reason, he was able to earn his respect. A gentleman does not care about his heart, and there is no perfect person in the world. As long as the other party's things are done to this point, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he is worthy of his Jia Ke's respect.
When Jia Ke arrived at Jia's mother's house, he was immediately discovered by a group of little maids in the courtyard, and these little maids immediately saluted Jia Ke together, I have to say that the quality of the maids in Jia's room is very high, not only humble and reasonable, but also long rings of fat and thin have their own characteristics. No wonder the few outstanding maids in Jia Baoyu's room in the dream of Red Mansions were all given to him by Jia's mother.
Jia Ke just glanced at these maids, and didn't look at them, for Jia Ke now, the female color is just an embellishment. What kind of beauty does he want in his current status?
As soon as Jia Ke came to Jia's mother's door, there was another pretty little maid, who immediately opened the curtain for him, and shouted inside: "Uncle is back." ”
As soon as Jia Ke entered the door, he felt that this heat wave was coming, this was the dragon that had burned the earth, and he thought it was an old lady, who was afraid of the cold when she was old. After Jia Ke entered the door, he went to the room on the right, which was the serious living room. The entrance of the house is a Babao Pavilion, and it is the place where Jia Mu lives and meets guests on weekdays, and there is a bench against the wall in the middle, with a thick cushion on it, which looks particularly comfortable. Under the chaise longue, there are two rows of eight immortal chairs, a row of four chairs, and a small number between the two.
I saw Jia's mother standing in the center, with Jia Zheng and Jia Yu sitting on both sides, and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing sitting on the lower hands. And Jia Zhen, as the patriarch, can only stand on the side and serve.
As soon as Jia Mu saw Jia Ke, she didn't wait for Jia Ke to come up and salute, so she hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Kyoshi is safe. There won't be any more turmoil. ”
Jia Ke did not answer Jia's mother first, but came to the middle of the living room first, and then respectfully kowtowed to Jia's mother, and when he finished saluting, he stood up. Only then did he reply to Jia Mu's words: "The old lady doesn't have to worry, now the capital has been settled." People from all walks of life have withdrawn from the capital, and only the people of Xuanfu Town are left in the city to guard it. I also specially arranged for a thousand men and horses to patrol and protect our Rongguo Mansion. I don't dare to come near these little guys. ”
Jia Mu listened to Jia Ke's words, and obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and her face showed a tired look at this time, thinking that she must be frightened in the past few days.
At this time, Jia Yu asked on the side, "How is the prince?" But is there still salvation? If you can save it, take a hand. ”
Jia Ke changed color when he heard this, and regardless of whether Jia Yu was his elder, he scolded loudly: "Shut up, what time is it now?" It's too late for everyone to hide, and you still have to rush up. You are happy if you let your family die. ”
Jia Yu's temper itself is not good, and he is also Jia Ke's elder, and when Jia Ke reprimanded him like this, he also became angry, and was scolded by Jia Ke loudly: "You little lady, what identity do you dare to talk to me like this?" Believe it or not, I'll pull you out now, and no one will dare to say a word if you are killed. ”
Jia Ke looked at him and sneered: "Pull me out, you first ask the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the capital if they agree?" Ask me again if the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in my hand agrees? You still have to ask the emperor again, do you agree to kill his Marquis of Wuyang, Xuanfu Town? ”
Jia Ke didn't agree to these three, and he was speechless when Jia Yu said, and he only found out now. Jia Ke's current status is not comparable to him at all, and now Jia Ke is completely the representative of Rongguo Mansion, and can even be said to be the head of Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Ke looks down on this old man very much, if it weren't for Aunt Zhang's relationship, he would have thrown Jia Yu to this person and left him to fend for himself.
Jia Zheng was also very indignant that Jia Yu was still unreasonable at this time, so when Jia Ke confronted Jia Yu just now, he didn't say a word. I want Jia Yu to see, who is the master of the current Rongguo Mansion, and who is the real master of the Rongguo Mansion? The current Jia Zheng is justified in being in charge of Rongguo Mansion, and he no longer has the original feeling of emptiness in his heart.
