When Fan Kang came to the top of the city, he saw a black cavalry below, and he couldn't see what the specific person looked like.

So Fan Kang shouted: "Below, but the lord Jia Ke"

Jia Ke waited patiently below for a while, and suddenly saw that the torches on the head of the city were lit, and the first person was dressed as a civil official, and he looked like Fan Kang from a distance.

When Jia Ke looked closely, he saw the man shouting to him. When Jia Ke heard it, it was really Fan Kang.

Jia Ke's black horse took a few steps forward and shouted to the city: "Mr. Fan, Jia Ke is back, quickly open the city gate and let me enter the city." ”

Fan Kang, who was at the head of the city, heard Jia Ke's voice, and did not hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered the city gate official next to him, "Open the city gate immediately, it is really Yan Guogong who has returned." ”

When the gate officer received the order, he hurried to the gate and ordered his men to open it.

And Fan Kang also came to the city gate at this time, waiting for Jia Ke to enter the city.

Taking advantage of the fact that the city gate had not yet opened, Jia Ke asked several generals next to him, "Fan Kang has any trespassing during this time?" ”

The three generals listened to Jia Ke's questioning, and they were all confused by him, and they didn't know what hyperthyroidism meant.

Jia Ke looked at these three people, looking ignorant, and very angry: "Stupid, Fan Kang has been in charge of the government during this time, doesn't he have any ambitions?" ”

Zheng Kai was shocked when he heard Jia Ke's words, he now understands that Jia Ke is not very at ease with Fan Kang.

Zheng Kai hurriedly replied: "Mr. Fan has been in the capital during this time, except for being in charge of the government and worrying about the Lord, there is nothing to overstep. ”

Jia Ke nodded, if you want to talk about Fan Kang, Jia Ke is still very satisfied with him, although he can't compare with Zhang Liang, but he is not different from Xiao He.

Moreover, Fan Kanghan was the first literati to take refuge in Jia Ke, so Jia Ke finally respected him and did not use any means.

But after a long time, Jia Ke is still a little uneasy, after all, this time Fan Kang's power is too great, if he has any bad intentions, he will have some trouble.

As for why Jia Ke still entrusts Fan Kang with all major matters when he leaves Beijing, instead of taking Fan Kang with him to give advice.

This is because Jia Ke considered that in the future, he must repeatedly go on the northern expedition, or go south to conquer the world, and there must be a person like Fan Kang in the capital, speaking of which, this time is a test for Fan Kang, if he has a little overstep, then Jia Ke will no longer believe in him as before in the future.

Fortunately, I heard these people from the three major battalions say that Fan Kang is not bad, which also reassures Jia Ke, after all, Fan Kang and Zheng Kai are different, and they are not controlled by Jia Ke using secret methods.

Jia Ke waited outside for a short time, and saw the Desheng Gate of the capital open with a bang, Jia Ke saw the city gate open, and said to several members of his hand: "Slowly enter the city, don't mess up the team." ”

After Jia Ke finished giving the order, he took the lead in riding the fire dragon horse and slowly walked towards the capital.

After Jia Ke thought clearly, he approached the gate of Chengjing City with a smile and followed the team.

When Jia Ke approached the city gate, he saw Fan Kang waiting there at the city gate.

As soon as Jia Ke saw Fan Kang, he hurriedly dismounted and walked a few steps to his side, and at this time, Fan Kang saw Jia Ke coming, so he took the lead in kneeling on the ground and saluted Jia Ke, "Fan Kang has seen the lord." ”

And Jia Ke happened to come over at this time, and hurriedly helped Fan Kang, "Sir, don't be polite, this time the affairs of the capital are thanks to Mr. arrangement, otherwise I may not be able to leave the capital with peace of mind." ”

Fan Kang stood up and said with a smile: "The lord is already ready for everything, and it is a matter of time before the lord is in power, whether I am Fan Kang or not, the lord will be the one in charge of the court." ”

Jia Ke knew that Fan Kang was telling the truth, but if he didn't have Fan Kang, he could only take hard measures, regardless of it, and in the end, he was afraid that he would be infamous.

And the current situation is that the emperor was forced to resist first, although his reputation was not very good in the end, but after all, there was a fig leaf.

Fan Kang saw that the city gate was not a place to greet each other, so he suggested to Jia Ke: "The lord might as well go to the infantry to command the yamen before talking, the city gate is not a place to speak." ”

Jia Ke nodded and said, "It should be like what Mr. Fan said." Then he turned back to the three generals and said, "I will enter the city by myself, you are not needed here, you should hurry back to the camp outside the city and wait for my orders." ”

Zheng Kai and the other three original generals listened to Jia Ke's orders and knew that Jia Ke was safe, so they left the team with their own soldiers and went back to the camp.

However, Jia Ke took 20,000 cavalry and followed Fan Kang into the capital, and then stationed the army in the church near Deshengmen.

Jia Ke arranged things, and then took Fan Kang back to the infantry commander Yamen.

When Jia Ke came to the infantry commander Yamen, it had been informed in advance, and now it was brightly lit.

Jia Ke returned to the study of the infantry commander Yamen, and after sitting down with Fan Kang, he asked, "When did the Emperor Taishang die?" What is the situation in the capital now? ”

Fan Kang sat down and said to Jia Ke: "My lord, yesterday morning, the emperor seemed to have received the news of the mutiny. As a result, the decree was intercepted by me. I thought that this alone was not enough for the lord to rule the whole country, so I privately advocated and led the troops into the palace, forcing the emperor and the emperor to add a few more articles for the lord, adding nine tins, praising and worshipping the nameless, entering the court and not trending, and going to the palace with a sword. ”

Jia Ke nodded after listening to Fan Kang's words, since he was already preparing to seize power and become a powerful minister, there was no need to hide it. At the same time, I thought in my heart, I didn't expect that I would also be Cao Cao one day.

Fan Kang continued: "How do you know that not long after we left the palace, the news of the death of the Emperor Taishang came out, I thought that the Emperor Taishang was already in poor health, and I was stimulated by this, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold on." ”

After Jia Ke listened, his face also showed sadness, he and the Emperor Taishang were originally quite compatible, but one was because his ambition was too big, and the second was because the emperor was pressing step by step, so he came to this point.

"So how is the capital arranged now?"

"My lord, I have ordered the nine gates to be blocked, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and at the same time I have ordered the infantry to patrol the streets under the command of the yamen, and all those with evil intentions and ghosts will be arrested first, and then dealt with." Fan Kang explained his arrangement.

Jia Ke thought for a moment, and then asked, "How did you deal with the emperor's funeral?" ”

Fan Kang shook his head and said, "I haven't entered the palace yet, but I have already ordered the Ministry of Rites Shangshu to deal with it before entering the palace." Now that the forbidden army has blockaded the imperial city, nothing will happen. ”

Jia Ke nodded, Fan Kang's disposal was perfect, "In that case, then I'll rest for a while, and I'll go to the palace at dawn tomorrow to send the emperor on his last journey." ”

Fan Kang saw that Jia Ke had returned, and now that the general situation had been decided, he asked: "In this case, then the news of the death of the Emperor Taishang can be announced to the world tomorrow, and then the whole city will mourn." ”

Jia Ke nodded, the next thing is the injury of the emperor, deal with this matter, and then be able to take charge of the government with peace of mind.

Jia Ke did not return to Rongguo Mansion, but found an exquisite guest room in the back house of the infantry commander Yamen, slept down, and waited for the morning to go to the palace to pay tribute to Emperor Taishang.

The next morning, Jia Ke finished freshening up with the help of several maids. put on the court clothes, and then ordered someone to prepare a white robe for him, covering the outside of the court clothes, and then went out of the guest room and came to the front hall of the infantry commander yamen.

Fan Kang has been waiting for a long time, and he is now wearing a white robe, it seems that he wants Jia Ke to enter the palace together to mourn the emperor.

Jia Ke didn't say anything else, just nodded to Fan Kang, and then led the thousands of soldiers of the Yamen with the infantry to the palace together.

When Jia Ke arrived at the gate of the palace, Xiao Kun had already received the news and was waiting for Jia Ke there.

Xiao Kun saw that Jia Ke was coming with someone, so he hurriedly stepped forward to grab Jia Ke's horse, and then said to Jia Ke: "Lord, you can be regarded as back." Now we all have the backbone. ”

Jia Ke sat on the horse and scolded him with a smile: "Nothing to do, I'm not here, and you're all alive yet." ”

Xiao Kun snorted, touched his head, and finally said: "I don't know why, when the lord is here, there is no other worry, and the lord feels weak when he is not in his heart." ”

Jia Ke teased him a few more words before asking, "In the palace, how is the situation now?" ”

"Lord Qiqi, now the palace is already full of Dai Xiao, and the body of the Emperor Taishang is still parked in the former Qing Palace, waiting for the third day to be washed before it can be put into the Zi Palace."

Jia Ke nodded and said: "You ordered someone to go in to report, just say that Yan Guogong, the prime minister and the military general, Jia Ke, want to enter the palace to pay condolences to the emperor." ”

Originally, Jia Ke didn't need to inform the emperor now, and he could enter the palace directly, but Jia Ke thought that the emperor still had some kindness to him, and the last bit of face still had to be given to him.

Xiao Kun listened to Jia Ke's instructions and immediately ran to the gate of the imperial city in person.

Xiao Kun came to the eunuch's duty office at the gate of the imperial city, and now the eunuch on duty at the gate of the city saw Xiao Kun coming over, and hurriedly came out to salute him.

At this time, the palace was already full of news that Jia Ke was about to take charge of the government, and Xiao Kun, as Jia Ke's henchman, was too late for these eunuchs to stammer, where did they dare to be disrespectful.

Xiao Kun didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly ordered: "You go in and report to the emperor and the queen mother, just say that it is the prince of Yan Guo, and the prime minister will lead the general military Jia to enter the palace to offer condolences to the emperor." ”

The eunuch listened to Xiao Kun's words, poked his head and looked behind him, and a chill rose in his heart. This living Cao Cao seems to be back.

Where did he dare to be lazy, like a probe probing his brain, after looking at it and not finding any figures, he said flattering to Xiao Kun: "Don't worry, my lord, I am like a report inside, and I will never miss the adult's business." ”
