And after a few days of calm in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu didn't know where to get the news that the emperor was going to abdicate, which scared her a lot, you must know that every change of the throne represents the promotion or loss of favor of a large number of people, and finally can never return to the center of power.

Over the past year or so, Jiafu has become the second center of power in the capital, and even Jia's mother can't help but fall in love with such a life, and now the emperor is going to abdicate, how can she not worry, which is the new emperor, can she continue to spoil their Jia family?

Mother Jia didn't dare to slack off after getting the news, and immediately ordered someone to call all the principals in the family, so that everyone could gather in one place to discuss the direction of Jia's mansion in the future.

When Jia Ke received the notice, he was in Qin Keqing's room, playing with her children. Suddenly, I heard Rui Zhu come in and report, "Uncle, the old lady has sent someone to ask you to hurry over and say that there is something important to discuss." ”

"Got it." Jia Ke had expected this, and this time Jia Mu was afraid that she would have a storm against him. Emperor Chan let him not inform the Jia family of such an important news, everyone still got the news from outside, and Jia Mu is afraid that she will give Jia Ke some color this time.

Qin Keqing lay on the bed and asked, "What's the important matter?" ”

"It's nothing, it's all trivial, and every year these things have to be discussed after the year." Jia Ke didn't tell Qin Keqing the truth, he just took care of these things alone.

Qin Keqing has just been married for more than a year, although there was no such thing last year, but she thought that this time it was Jia's mother who had notified her years ago, so she didn't take it to heart.

Jia Ke got up and started to get dressed, Ruizhu hurriedly came up to serve, and Jia Ke went out after everything was cleaned up. Qin Keqing sent him to the living room, and then returned to the back room to take care of the child.

Jia Ke walked out of the courtyard and crossed the moon gate, and soon came to Jia's mother's courtyard. When Jia Ke entered Jia's mother's room, the family members in Jia's mansion had already come, including Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen.

There was no one in the room but them. As soon as these people saw Jia Ke come in, their expressions were different, Jia Yu looked disgusted, Jia Zheng showed a very plain and proud face, but Jia Zhen showed a flattering smile.

Jia Ke saw their expressions in his eyes, and then went to Jia's mother first and kowtowed to Jia's mother to say goodbye.

"Hurry up, hurry up and tell you how many times, your family doesn't have to be so polite, just bow to me when you come, how can you kowtow every time." Jia Mu still attaches great importance to Jia Ke, not only because of the prophecy, but also because of Jia Ke's own ability and official position.

Jia Ke then got up and complimented Jia's mother with a smile: "The old lady is different from others, kowtowing to you is like worshipping the old birthday star, maybe I can live a hundred years like you." ”

"The more the official is getting bigger and bigger, and your mouth is getting more and more slippery." When Jia Mu heard Jia Ke's words, she smiled from ear to ear.

Jia Ke then came to Jia Zheng and bowed to him, "The son has given his father a salute." ”

Jia Zheng nodded with satisfaction, touched his beard with his hand and said, "Get up, go and salute your uncle." ”

So Jia Ke came to Jia Yu and bowed to him.

Jia Yu has been dissatisfied with Jia Ke since he was reprimanded by Jia Ke last time because of the prince's affairs, and at this time he saw Jia Ke saluting him, and wanted to teach Jia Ke a lesson, so that he knew that Rongguo Mansion still had his own elder, so he said in a weird way: "Yo, isn't this our Minister of Military Aircraft?" You are also a pillar of the country, how can you be so rude? Why didn't you kowtow to me when you saw me? Am I, the uncle, unable to accept your courtesy? ”

When Jia Zheng heard Jia Yu's words, his face became gloomy. Although Jia Yu is Jia Zheng's uncle, there is no reason to force Jia Ke to kowtow, after all, he is Jia Ke's son, where does he Jia Yu have such a big face, let the Minister of Military Aircraft salute him.

Jia Ke was also angry in his heart, but where was the feudal etiquette? If Jia Yu forced Jia Ke to kowtow, Jia Ke must not have any disobedience, and if he wants to retaliate, he can only do it in private.

So Jia Ke also had to obey him temporarily, nominally Jia Yu was his uncle after all, put up with him for a while, and see him later, let him know that Lord Ma had three eyes in the future. After all, Jia Ke has lived in ancient times for so many years, but he knows the power of feudal etiquette, not to mention that he is the minister of military aircraft, even the emperor sometimes can't act recklessly, so Jia Ke knelt down to Jia Yu and said: "My nephew has asked my uncle to say goodbye." As soon as he finished speaking, he got up, stood beside Jia Zheng, and then said nothing.

Jia Yu didn't embarrass him anymore, because he saw that Jia Ke's face was not good, and he was afraid that Jia Ke would turn his face on the spot, and he might not be able to fall behind when the time came.

At this time, Jia Zheng saw that his son was bullied as his father, and his face was flushed with anger, although he was a little pedantic in the Confucian heirloom, but he did not become a fool.

"Big brother, what's wrong today, why are you so embarrassed to see a junior? When my father was there, I didn't see my eldest brother kneeling and kowtowing every time I saw my father. ”

Jia Yu was not convinced when he heard Jia Zheng's words, "I am his uncle, let him honor me and kowtow to me, is it still wrong?" ”

"I'm afraid the eldest brother is confused, how can there be a reason for the nephew to honor the uncle? Besides, the eldest brother does not have no son, and there is no need for our eldest brother to be honored. "Jia Zheng is also a rare time to face Jia Yu, in the past, Jia Zheng saw that he was polite to Jia Yu for the sake of Rongguo Mansion, but today Jia Yu actually embarrassed Jia Ke, he couldn't bear this son who was wronged.

Jia Mu saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and the two brothers were also a little dirty, afraid that if they continued to talk about it, it would be out of control, so she hurriedly played a round and said: "Okay, everyone is here, let's talk about the current matter." The rest of the ones that have and don't will talk about it later. ”

Originally, Jia Mu still wanted to give Jia Ke some color, but seeing that Jia Yu had already embarrassed Jia Ke, if she was reprimanding Jia Ke, I was afraid that it would not end well today, so she had to press this thought.

As soon as everyone heard Jia Mu speak, they all stood on both sides and respectfully listened to Jia Mu's teachings, and Jia Zheng and Jia Yu could only shut up at this time.

"I got news from the old lady Wang of Nan'an County, saying that the emperor is seriously ill and wants to pass on the throne to the third prince and become the emperor himself, what do you think about this matter?"

As soon as Mother Jia finished saying this, Jia Zhen stood up and saluted the people present, and said excitedly: "If you want me to say that this is a great thing for our family, our eldest girl is now the side concubine of the third prince, once the third prince ascends the throne, she must be a figure at the level of the concubine." Our family is also stained. ”

Although Jia Zhen is the patriarch of the Jia family, he is an unlearned person, he only thinks that with Jia Yuanchun by the side of the new emperor, their Jia Mansion will definitely enjoy the glory and wealth.

Jia Mu felt that what he said was reasonable, and nodded with a smile on her face.

Jia Yu said to Jia Zheng with some jealousy at this time: "Second brother, you will be the national ruler soon, eldest brother, I am here to congratulate you in advance." ”

In Jia Yu's eyes, Jia Zheng is a person who walks shit luck, he won Rongguo Mansion for nothing back then, and now he has done nothing, just sent his daughter to the palace, and he is about to become the national abbot, which is too lucky.

Jia Zheng showed a hesitant expression at this time, he pondered for a moment and said: "Big brother, he has always been the old emperor's person, and now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, will it have any impact on the eldest brother?" ”

When Jia Mu heard this, her face was also a little nervous, and she glanced at Jia Ke beside Jia Zheng. It means that let Jia Ke also say two words.

Jia Ke had just taken a few steps forward and wanted to speak. How do you know that Jia Yu rushed in front of Jia Ke at this time and said, "What's so difficult about this? Let him vote for the third prince. The third prince, now is the time to employ people, and he will definitely be reused. ”

"Uncle, this is a bad statement, as the saying goes: A good horse is not worthy of a second saddle, a martyr does not marry a second husband, and a loyal minister does not serve the second master. The old emperor is as kind to me as a mountain, I was his loyal minister when he was in power, he just abdicated, and I, Jia Ke, only listened to him. Jia Ke said impassionedly, dressing himself up as a loyal and good general.

The reason why Jia Ke said this was entirely because he knew that the Rongguo Mansion was already densely populated with secret agents from all walks of life, and now there were no secrets in the Rongguo Mansion. He believed that what he said now would soon reach the desk of the old emperor and the third prince.

And Jia Ke looks down on Jia Yu a little, which family has relied on women to be by the emperor's side for a long time throughout the ages, if there is not enough power in the hands of the woman, the woman becomes the queen, and the queen mother is just a superficial scenery, no one takes you seriously.

Jia Zheng listened to Jia Ke's words, frowned and said: "Sooner or later, the new emperor will ascend the throne and will take power, and I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to our Jia family at that time, is there no way to get the best of both worlds?" ”

"Father, the most intolerable thing in politics is duplicity, even if my father now takes Jiafu to the command of the third prince, I am afraid that people will be suspected of ulterior motives. It's better to go all the way to the dark, and let the old emperor know his father's loyalty and the attitude of our Rongguo Mansion. Jia Ke analyzed for Jia Zheng.

After Jia Yu heard Jia Ke say this, he immediately became angry, this is a broad road not to go, and he has to cross the single-plank bridge. If you continue to be loyal to the old emperor, you can only get temporary benefits. Once the old emperor dies, the emperor will probably have to settle accounts with the Jia family.

Therefore, Jia Yu stood up and pointed at Jia Ke and said, "What are you doing here?" Are you happy to push our boy into the abyss? ”

Jia Ke looked at Jia Yu with disdain, "If you take refuge in the Third Prince now, I'm afraid that if you can't wait for the Third Prince to take power, our Jia family will be finished." Now we continue to be loyal to the old emperor, even if the third prince is in power in the future, for the sake of the eldest sister, it will not do anything to our Jia family. That's the safest thing. ”

After hearing what Jia Ke said, Jia Mu was completely relieved, thinking that Jia Ke was far-sighted and took everything into account, and now Jiafu is still the best way. After all, the power is still in the hands of the old emperor, if he takes refuge in the new emperor at this time, then the old emperor must think that his family has betrayed, so what good end will there be?

And Jia Zhen on the side heard Jia Ke say this, and felt very reasonable, they didn't need to risk the old emperor's anger to change the court now. As long as Jia Ke does what he said, although it is impossible to go further, the current glory and wealth are preserved.

Although Jia Yu had the heart to refute, what Jia Ke said was indeed a good word, so he snorted, sat back in his place and stopped talking.

Jia Ke's method, if it weren't for the three princes' great prejudices against Jia Ke, and Jia Ke's status would not be good, and this would really be the end in the end. It's a pity that things don't depend on people's will, and none of these people here know that Jia Ke and the third prince are already incompatible. What Jia Ke said was only a temporary fit in the hearts of these people.
