After Jia Ke ordered someone to send Jia Lian back to his residence, he was free. This is a little itchy after being idle, and the Wuyang Hou Mansion next to it has not been to it yet, although it is not possible to go in to live for the time being, but it is good to take a look.

And Jia Ke didn't have anything to do in the afternoon, so he ordered someone to call Lin Zhixiao to come, so that he could open the Wuyang Marquis Mansion and go in to visit it himself and see the layout inside.

This mansion has been built for a year or two, but the owner of himself has never entered it once, which is too unusual.

After Lin Zhixiao came, he first greeted Jia Ke with a thousand words, and then he could ask: "What's the matter with the uncle looking for the little one?" ”

"I haven't been in the Wuyang Hou Mansion for so many years, it's okay this afternoon, you open the door now, I'll go in and take a look."

Lin Zhixiao listened to Jia Ke's words, and immediately said to Jia Ke: "Uncle, you don't need to open the door. The courtyard next to our house is just separated by a wall from the Wuyang Hou Mansion, and the old lady took the initiative to build a moon gate there, so that in the future, the two mansions can communicate with each other without passing through the gate, and it can be regarded as a family that is not separated. ”

Jia Ke nodded, agreeing with Jia Mu's method, that is, if he comes to Rongguo Mansion in the future, he will not have to enter and exit from the main gate, which will save him a lot of trouble.

So Jia Ke, under the leadership of Lin Zhixiao, entered the Wuyang Marquis Mansion through a moon gate on the east side of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Ke walked around the Wuyang Hou Mansion for an afternoon and found that the architectural pattern of the Wuyang Hou Mansion was similar to that of the Rongguo Mansion, and it had obviously exceeded the specifications of the Hou Mansion. It's just that the details still retain the style of the Houfu, which is obviously the emperor's care for himself. This is the emperor's mansion, although it exceeds the specifications, but the imperial historians have nothing to say, if they build it themselves, there will be a royal history immediately.

The main hall of the Marquis of Wuyang is the name given by the emperor himself, Wuwei Hall. On both sides, there is also a hall link mentioned by the emperor himself: Chen Chen's precepts, and public security.

Further back is the backyard of Wuwei Hall, which is the serious inner courtyard of the Wuyang Hou Mansion, and it is the place where the lady of the Wuyang Hou Mansion lives.

Wuyang Hou Mansion as a whole, is already very luxurious, there are more than 200 large and small rooms, from the main gate into the Wuwei Hall, to pass through the instrument door, the main hall hall, the inner instrument door, this is to the Wuwei Hall, the Wuwei Hall is a large room of five rooms, there are wings on both sides. It's just a building of this scale, no less than Rongguo Mansion, in addition, there are twenty or thirty small courtyards around, and there is a back garden in the backyard, which has countless rare and exotic plants.

When Jia Ke came to the back garden, he also met several florists, all of whom were sent by Jia's mother to take care of the back garden, otherwise it would be a pity that these flowers and plants would have died.

Jia Ke Wuyanghou Mansion took a turn and felt very satisfied, this mansion can be regarded as one of the few in the capital.

In the next few days, Jia Ke was either in the military camp outside the city or wandering around the palace, and the imperial court did not send him an errand or order him to lead the army back to Xuanfu Town.

But Rongguofu has been busy these days, this is to handle Jia Ke's marriage, Jia Ke is nearly twenty years old, and he has no wife, which is really unreasonable. And Qin Keqing is now fifteen or sixteen years old, according to ancient sayings, now is a good time to leave the cabinet.

They felt that there was nothing to do here, and they did not know that the dark tide was raging in the capital, and a conspiracy was going on in the palace.

At this time, in the Dongnuan Pavilion, what were several of the emperor's confidants and ministers discussing?

Emperor I listened to their discussions on the throne, and King Beijing stood aside and listened to their plan, frowned and said, "Since it has been arranged, is there no loophole?" I don't think so, although there are a lot of guards around the emperor now, there are no masters. If the enemy sends a general to raid, the emperor is afraid that he will be in danger. ”

King Beijing couldn't help but think of these days, Jia Ke galloped back and forth in the enemy formation, chasing Arslen Khan.

After listening to the words of King Beijing, the emperor also felt that this was a problem, so he asked, "Do you think that I should send someone to protect me?" ”

King Beijing first knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister recommends one person, and with this person, it is a thousand troops and horses, and it can also ensure that Your Majesty is safe." ”

"I don't know who it is? There is such courage. ”

"Marquis Wuyang, Jia Ke, the envoy of Xuanfu Town, has the courage of ten thousand people, and with him by His Majesty's side, even thousands of troops and horses will not be able to hurt His Majesty for half a point." King Beijing hurriedly recommended Jia Ke to the emperor, he was on the battlefield a few days ago, and he was already shocked by Jia Ke's martial bravery. Now Jia Ke is no longer a small number of people who can be defeated, as long as he is not tired, even thousands of troops and horses will not be able to trap him.

As soon as the emperor heard him recommend Jia Ke, he couldn't help but smile, he now has a lot of trust in Jia Ke, even if King Beijing doesn't recommend it, he will also transfer Jia Ke to his side to protect him. To tell the truth, the emperor cares more about his own safety than anyone else.

"Since King Beijing recommended Jia Ke, I feel that this person is still okay, so after three days, I will ask him to follow me to protect him." The emperor said with satisfaction.

Everyone fell to their knees together, and they all said that they would obey the emperor's orders. Others were okay, but Huo Tu, the secretary of the military department, was holding his hands tightly at this time, looking a little nervous. But no one paid attention to him.

So the conspiracy was roughly decided, and it was only three days later that it became clear. This time, the emperor made up his mind, but he was also helpless, if he didn't do it again, he was afraid that he would end up becoming Li Yuan, and he would even be forced to die.

The next day, the emperor went to court, and Jia Ke came to the court again. There is nothing major today, the emperor just announced that three days later, the emperor will lead hundreds of civil and military officials to Taizu's mausoleum to worship in order to comfort Taizu, the Tatars have been broken, and the mausoleum was alarmed before to apologize to Taizu.

None of the civil and military officials objected to this, sacrificing ancestors was a major event in ancient times, and it was understandable for the emperor to do so, and it could even be regarded as a manifestation of the Ming monarch.

Then the emperor ordered that on the day of the sacrifice, Jia Ke could accompany the emperor for the sacrifice because he had the heaviest credit this time, which was a supreme honor for the courtiers.

After hearing the emperor's order, Jia Ke immediately knelt in the center of the main hall and repeatedly expressed his gratitude to the emperor for his favor.

This is a supreme honor for both Jia Ke and Jia Fu. With such a time, that is, if the emperor is not there in the future, if Jia Ke does not rebel, there is nothing the new emperor can do with him when he ascends the throne, at most he can be idle with him, and his life is not hindered.

In the next two days, all the officials in the capital were busy around the emperor's worship of the Taizu Mausoleum.

And Jia Ke was not idle, he had to go to the Ministry of Rites every day to receive training from officials of the Ministry of Rites. In the process of sacrifice, he should do what he should not do, and there must be no mistakes. This can make Jia Ke tired, Jia Ke feels that this is more tiring than a day of fighting on the battlefield, he is like a wooden man, at the mercy of the other party.

On the day of the sacrifice, Jia Ke got up in the middle of the night, then put on a helmet and armor robe and belt, carried Fang Tian's halberd, rode on the fire dragon horse, and came to the palace gate, waiting for the emperor's summons.

This was an order that the emperor conveyed to him on the first day, saying that he should dress up and accompany the emperor to comfort Emperor Taizu, and also let Emperor Taizu know that there were such brave generals by the emperor's side, and the country would be fine.

To be honest, Jia Ke had a very bad premonition in his heart, the emperor went to the mausoleum and let him be fully armed, where was this to accompany the sacrifice, it was clearly to let him guard the emperor. It seems that something big is going to happen at the shrine this time.

It wasn't until seven or eight o'clock in the morning that the emperor summoned him to his side, and this time he didn't take away his Fang Tian painting halberd, and let him come directly to the emperor with his weapon. If this had been before, Jia Ke would have been pushed out and beheaded immediately.

And Jia Ke also found that the emperor was different from before, and the clothes on his body seemed to be much thicker. Jia Ke is a battle-hardened general, and at a glance he can see that the emperor is lined with soft armor. And the eunuchs around the emperor were all replaced by powerful eunuchs, and they all wore armor and swords.

Jia Ke could only hide his suspicions in his heart at this time, and he seemed to be indifferent on the surface, but he held Fang Tian's halberd and followed behind the emperor, not leaving an inch. The emperor was very happy to see Jia Ke so vigilant, he had Jia Ke as a general, even if he had thousands of troops, he couldn't hurt himself.

When the emperor was dressed neatly, the queen and the concubines rode separately, the emperor rode a white high-headed horse, and Jia Ke rode a fire dragon horse and carried Fang Tian's halberd, and followed the emperor closely. When I came to the palace gate, the civil and military officials had been waiting for a long time.

When these people saw the emperor come out, they knelt down together and shouted three times long live, waiting for them to get up. saw Jia Ke, a guard in full uniform, beside the emperor. Many people were dissatisfied, just now they gave the emperor a salute, and indirectly kowtowed to Jia Ke. So there were several imperial historians on the spot, Jia Ke, saying that he violated the etiquette system and should not wear military uniforms to go to the mausoleum.

But the emperor ignored them, and directly ordered people to drive these people out, and at this time, these officials felt that something was wrong. So they didn't dare to say anything anymore, so they could only silently follow the emperor on horseback.

The emperor's Luan drove out of Deshengmen and went to the imperial tomb forty-five miles outside the capital. At the head of the procession was the Emperor's Praetorian Guard, and the Emperor marched in the middle and rear of the procession, surrounded by a large retinue of leading horses and the Imperial Guard. This huge royal mausoleum team, starting from the capital Desheng Gate, a grand lineup of honor guards, all kinds of carriages and horses, solemn halogen books, guards and servants, mighty, among which four elephants dragged the cart, there is a canopy-shaped pavilion on the car, this is not the emperor's sleeping tent, but the utensils of the mausoleum, there are guards and protection on the left and right sides of this cart. This team has been lined up for seven or eight miles, and the people kneeling on both sides of the road are all here to see the emperor's face.

Jia Ke was most worried at this time, really afraid that an assassin would pop up from the people. So during this time, his Fang Tian painting halberd did not let go. At the same time, he vigilantly observed the surroundings, and opened the general's spiritual sense to the extreme.

Fortunately, nothing abnormal was found, and the team went out of Desheng Gate safely, and when they arrived at the official road outside the door, Jia Ke relaxed his mood. There are very few people here anymore.

The procession walked for a whole day before coming to the Imperial Tomb, and when it arrived at the Imperial Tomb, it was already sunset, and the Emperor had to stay outside the Imperial Tomb for a day, and the worship would begin tomorrow morning.

The emperor is not allowed to live in the imperial tomb when worshipping the imperial tomb, which is not considered disrespectful and unlucky. Therefore, the emperor built a royal tent and set up a camp five miles outside the imperial mausoleum. Jia Ke's tent was close to the emperor's tent, and on the night of this day, the emperor personally handed down an order that no one except Jia Ke should come near his tent, not even the queen and the concubines.
