Let's talk about the long history of the Nan'an County Palace, after getting Jia Ke's post and the silver sent by Zhou Rui. Immediately went to see the current head of the Nan'an County King, the eldest son of the old Nan'an County King, Sun Xuan, who is now the first-class duke.

At this time, Sun Xuan was reading a book and drinking tea in the flower hall, and when he saw Na Changshi coming in, he asked, "The people from Rongguo Mansion are gone?" ”

Changshi hurriedly said: "If you go back to your grandfather, the people from Rongguo Mansion have already left. After he said this, he escaped from Jia Ke's prayer from his arms, and then handed it up with both hands.

Sun Xuan took it and took a look, only to see that it was written in gilded letters: Marquis Wuyang, Minister of Military Aircraft Jia Ke worshipped.

Na Changshi then said: "The Rongguo Mansion has already sent the silver back. It seems that the person caught this time is a relative of a status slave in Rongguo's mansion. Otherwise, you can't work Rongguofu, and the three family members continue to deliver posts. ”

This long history is saying this to remind Sun Xuan, just in moderation, Rongguo Mansion has already gone through all the family members who can be dispatched, if they continue to fight like this, it will really provoke that Jia Ke, and their current Nan'an County Mansion may not be able to withstand it.

What's more, Jia Ke directly sent troops into Beijing during this time, which has already scared the family members in various powerful mansions, and even these housekeepers are also worried, really afraid that Jia Ke will plot to usurp the throne.

Now the entire plenum of the capital has understood Jia Ke's power, and they dare not offend him. Now that Jia Ke has sent a post, they just want to calm things down, where do they dare to go against Jia Ke.

And Jia Ke's strength in the court during this period of time is indeed a little worrying.

Sun Xuan looked down on Jia Ke in his heart, a concubine was born lowly, but he relied on some credit, and he saved the driver by chance, so he was able to rely on the favor of the emperor and become a high position to take charge of the court, but he was just a courtier.

Now that the emperor is in power, and the emperor retreats to the harem, I am afraid that Jia Ke's good days will not last long, although both parties are descendants of the four kings and eight dukes, but at this critical moment of choosing for the sake of family inheritance, they can't be merciful.

Therefore, Sun Xuancai ignored friendship some time ago, and used small contradictions to let the world take a look, and their Nan'an County Mansion and Rongguo Mansion had been torn apart.

Sun Xuan also understood that this time he had formed some small enmity with Rongguofu, but the two sides were quite restrained, since the other party had already succumbed. On his side, he can't continue to be embarrassed, otherwise he will be slapping the faces of the three family members of Rongguo Mansion. When the time comes, it will not die.

To be honest, Sun Xuan is still a little afraid of the forces of Rongguofu now, if he didn't want to stand in line in advance before the matter became clear, he wouldn't dare to confront Rongguofu so blatantly.

Sun Xuan wanted to play these and said to the long history next to him: "Since Rongguofu has already handed over the post and compensated the silver, then this matter is settled." You go to Shuntianfu and say something, and let them let them go. ”

The long history arched his hand and agreed, "Obey the instructions of the grandfather, and then go down to do it." ”

After saying this, Changshi walked out of the small flower hall.

After Sun Xuan left, his face was a little gloomy, although he just showed a confident look in front of Changshi, but he was not worried in his heart, although he was optimistic that the emperor's forces could win, but if Jia Ke fought to the death in the end, he would not have a chance to turn the tables.

Sun Xuan could have sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and then continued to enjoy his peaceful life, but he wanted to inherit his father's throne again, so he had to fight to the death.

Now on the surface, Rongguofu sent him silver, but this made him even more worried. What kind of character is Jia Ke, even the emperor dares to go back head-on, not to mention his small Nan'an County Palace.

If Jia Ke relied on his power and directly ordered Shuntian Mansion Yin to release the people, he would be a little more relieved. But Jia Ke sent a prayer note and returned the money.

This does not mean that Jia Ke is magnanimous, but Jia Ke has already written down this hatred, thinking about when to give them a big one for the Nan'an County Palace. is what really worries Sun Xuan. Now he was a little scared in his heart, and after thinking about it, he still went to the back and talked to his mother, so that she would have time to walk around Rongguo Mansion and say a few good words to the old lady over there, so as to ease the relationship for a moment or two, so as not to let no one talk when Jia Keqiu settled accounts in the future.

Besides, a few days after Zhou Rui went to visit the palace of Nan'an County, Shuntian Mansion actually released Leng Zixing. This made Zhou Rui overjoyed, thinking in his heart that it seemed that the uncle's post worked, but thinking about it, the uncle is now the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department, and the two masters in the family can't talk about it.

said that Jia Ke has not paid attention to this matter since he gave Zhou Rui's post. He has now started to fight with the court's ministers again.

The reason for the incident is that now Xuanfu and Liaodong and other places have begun to collect tariffs from past merchants, so the leaders of the merchant gangs are angry.

So they united and mobilized the forces in the DPRK to impeach the Jiedu envoys at these two border passes.

But these impeachment folds have been refuted by Jia Ke, and the reason is very sufficient, the border pass is now only sixty percent of the military salary, you don't let them make a fortune, do you still let them go hungry to fight for you?

And this time, several ministers of military aircraft from the Military Aircraft Department also stood on Jia Ke's side, after all, they also knew the situation at the border gate. It's better to let your soldiers find something to eat on their own than for them to make a fuss.

As a result, a practice was formed at the border pass, and all merchants who left the customs must pay a customs fee, and this trend not only existed in Xuanfu and Liaodong towns, but even began to slowly spread to the entire nine borders.

To be honest, there are hints from Jia Ke, otherwise, those border generals are bold, and they don't dare to offend the bosses of these merchant gangs.

This made these businessmen who went out to do business complain, and finally they inquired. I only knew what happened, because the imperial court did not allocate military salaries to these border soldiers, and these elite soldiers at the border could only find food for themselves.

Especially the reason for the shortage of silver taels this time is that 3 million taels of silver are inexplicably missing.

Those who can be in charge of one side in the business gang are all human spirits, how can this little trick be hidden from these big guys who cheat me every day.

As a result, the merchants began to express their dissatisfaction with the imperial court and the emperor's move, and this time they asked for full military salaries to be paid to the soldiers at the border through their spokesmen in the imperial court, like the emperor's upper fold, and the slogan was very good, and the soldiers could not be allowed to shed blood and tears.

After Jia Ke saw these twists and turns, he couldn't open his eyes with laughter. This time he didn't detain them, but directly wanted to send them to the emperor in one go, he wanted the emperor to see how many people he had offended, and let him solve these people himself.

However, Liu Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Military Aircraft, disagreed with Jia Ke's opinion, he knew that once these posts were sent to the emperor, the emperor would be in a dilemma. It was really not easy to deal with it, and it would not work if it was not handled, so he advocated that all these folds should be directly detained at the military aircraft, and finally these opinions should be summarized and written into a schedule and handed to the emperor.

Although Jia Ke is the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department, he is outnumbered after all. At the insistence of several other ministers, Jia Ke agreed directly without much resistance. After all, this is not a crucial matter, and there is no need to make the already unpeaceful court turbulent for this.

In fact, they just didn't play, and the emperor also knew about it.

Xia Shouzhong summed up the situation in the past few days that day and personally sent it to the emperor's case. This is what Xia Shouzhong must do every day after taking over the secret guards of the imperial court, especially the information about Jia Ke is the most important.

But I don't know what the reason is, there is very little information about Jia Ke in these intelligences, most of them are trivial things, as for how Jia Ke controls the army and how to give orders? Who are Jia Ke's cronies? And almost all the information they know is the situation when Jia Ke was in Xuanfu Town.

As for Jia Ke's current situation, the secret guard couldn't find out the slightest bit at all.

The emperor had already lost his temper several times because of this incident, and Xia Shouzhong had also urged his subordinates several times to keep a close watch on Jia Ke and make sure that he knew his every move. But things were not as simple as he thought.

No matter how hard the guards tried, it was in vain.

Xia Shouzhong clearly felt during this period of time that there was another force interfering with his investigation of Jia Ke.

It's a very mysterious force, and it's very powerful. The secret guards of the imperial court under his control can't focus on Jia Ke alone because there are too many things. So the reverse is at a disadvantage.

That made Xia Shouzhong also understand that Jia Ke might have an organization under his command that specialized in protecting his intelligence.

In addition to this incident, Xia Shouzhong reported to the emperor this time, and there was also the fact that these days, the three largest merchant gangs in the world have joined forces to advise the emperor. Although this matter is not as serious as Jia Ke's problem, but now once the three business gangs are united, their offensive is also very fierce and fast.

The attitude of these people has clearly expressed their dissatisfaction with the emperor, and these merchants have been living peacefully with the emperor for all these years in power, also because the emperor has not violated their interests. And now that the emperor has stopped paying military salaries, it is tantamount to intermittently contacting these merchant gangs.

Especially the Jin merchants among them, these people are the leaders of the three major merchant gangs. Not only did they spread their ticket numbers to all parts of the country, but they also controlled almost the entire country's tea exchange and trade with border gates.

When the other two major merchant gangs were in business, a large part of them had to rely on the ticket numbers of the Jin merchants to be able to operate.

Otherwise, they would have to carry a large amount of silver taels around the country, which would not only be unsafe, but also time-consuming. When they arrived at their destination, the cucumber dishes were cold.

Therefore, this time the Jin merchants took the lead, and the other two major merchant gangs also followed suit. We must let the emperor open the inner treasury to make up for the food and salary at the border gates.

Because of which border guards, no matter how powerful you are in the court? If they don't collect taxes, they will starve, so the merchants have nothing to do with these big soldiers. Therefore, all the firepower can only be concentrated on the emperor's side.
