Chapter 256: Cao Mang

When Jia Ke heard that the emperor appointed him as the foreman, he only felt joy descending from heaven, he originally thought that he was not able to deal with political affairs, and this position could not be competed with Pan Yong. Unexpectedly, the emperor unexpectedly appointed him as the foreman.

Jia Ke hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty appointed me as the foreman, and the minister is actually very willing, but the minister can't accept this position. ”

"Oh, why? If you want it, why don't you accept it. The emperor was interested in hearing Jia Ke's words.

"Although the minister is very willing to accept this position in his heart, but the minister is still very rusty in the handling of the court, and the minister is worried that once there is something wrong and the emperor's major affairs are missed, the minister's death will not be enough to atone for his sins." Jia Ke said this solemnly, and he was not afraid to say his shortcomings, sometimes this will make others believe in him more.

The emperor was silent for a long time after listening to Jia Ke's words, then stood up and walked to Jia Ke, helped him up with his own hands, and then said to him: "With your words, you are qualified as a military aircraft foreman, and as for government affairs, it doesn't matter, these folds are shown to others, and you can summarize them in the end." If you're not satisfied, call them back and ask them to rewrite it. ”

Jia Ke listened to the emperor's words, but his heart was a little moved, where is what the emperor said to his courtiers, this is clearly the love of the elders for the younger generations. Jia Ke's eyes were a little red, and he held back his tears and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will live up to Your Majesty's expectations." ”

The emperor patted Jia Ke on the shoulder and said, "That's right, this is a bit of the momentum of fighting a general on the battlefield, you were cowardly just now." ”

After comforting Jia Ke, the emperor returned to the throne and sat down, and then asked them, "I just heard from you that some folds are going to be sent to me, so that I can be the master." What the hell is going on? Tell me more about it. ”

Jia Ke began to exercise the power of the foreman at this time, and glanced at Pan Yong next to him and asked him to reply, after all, he knew this matter better than himself.

Pan Yong had just recovered from his depression, and when he saw Jia Ke's eyes, he had to go forward and say back to the emperor: "Long live Qiyu, it is the students who jointly wrote a letter asking the emperor to pardon the two former scholars. ”

"Oh, there's such a thing, bring me the fold." The emperor didn't seem angry.

Pan Yong hurriedly took out six or seven folds from another bookcase, picked them up and gently placed them in front of the emperor.

The emperor just glanced at it, and Dai Quan, who was standing next to him, immediately went over and picked up the top fold and sent it to the emperor.

The emperor then raised his hand to take the fold, looked at it carefully, and after reading a few pages, he didn't feel anything wrong. So put it aside, Dai Quan was very discerning, and immediately handed the emperor the next note, the emperor read three or four copies of the book, and did not find anything strange, although these notes were to intercede with the two scholars, but the tone was very tactful, and there was nothing excessive. So the emperor was puzzled, he looked at Jia Ke and Pan Yong, and asked them to explain to him.

At this time, Pan Yong spoke, "Your Majesty Qiqi's twists and turns don't seem to be anything, they are just interceding for the two scholars. But with so many students coming together, it would be impossible if there was no one in tandem. ”

The emperor's face began to become solemn when he heard Pan Yong's words, what Pan Yong said was very reasonable, so many students, if there was no one connecting them, it would be impossible to be so united, playing together to intercede for the two scholars.

Moreover, among these intercession memories, only the joint recitals of the students were seen, and none of the officials played them, which is extremely unreasonable. Someone must have asked the students to take the lead to test the Emperor's attitude, and then they would take the next step. Pan Yong reported the results of the discussion between him and Jia Ke to the emperor on 1510, and he added some fuel to the fire. This is to let the two scholars die, the two of them did not squeeze out Pan Yong when they were in the study, and now it is finally time to take revenge.

The emperor's face was clouded at this time, and it seemed that under Pan Yong's suggestion, he also understood the mystery, and at the same time, he was also glad that he had won the two scholars.

The rights and prestige of these two scholars have reached such a point, if it weren't for the rebellion of the prince this time, the two of them would have missed the line, and in a few years, I am afraid that I will have to issue a holy decree to discuss with them.

What the emperor didn't expect was that these two people were already in the prison, and they could still command their protΓ©gΓ©s to set off such a huge wave, and it seemed that their power had spread all over the government and the opposition.

The emperor originally felt a little pity for them, thinking that he would put them home after a while, neglect them for a while, and do things for himself in recruiting them back to the court.

Now where does the emperor dare to let them out, if they go out, maybe they will set off a huge wave, maybe when they return home, they will depose themselves on the grounds of protecting the prince and Qingjun. There has already been one betrayal, so there is no psychological burden on betraying again a second time.

In fact, it is completely superfluous for the emperor to think like this, the emperor now has the military power in the whole world, and where do the local governors dare to disobey the emperor's orders.

The two scholars who don't have a single soldier in their hands, maybe they will shout twice when they go back, but let them rebel, I'm afraid they don't have the courage to do so. After all, no one is a fool, and no one will think that with two mouths, a piece of paper and a pen, they can take the world down.

The Emperor didn't care about any of this, he just felt that he was threatened, and since he was so threatened, he had to get rid of it, no matter how big or small.

So the emperor directly said to Dai Quan next to him: "Spread the decree, Li Lu and Yan Mu are rebellious and plotting against each other, and they are still suspicious in prison. After saying this, the emperor seemed to be still angry, and then issued an order: "All his family property will be confiscated, the men will be distributed 3,000 li, and all the women will be sent to the church as slaves." ”

It was the first time for Jia Ke to come into contact with this kind of thing, and now he was a little frightened. I didn't expect the court struggle to be so cruel, and the loser would not only die by himself, but even his family would not end well. Which men are still there? It is to go 3,000 miles away, as long as the body is strong and there is still a trace of vitality. But after these female dependents were filled into the church, I am afraid that they will no longer have the face to live. is actually a young lady all of them, who has been insulted like this, where can they still have the face to live in this world.

Jia Ke couldn't help but think of the scene when Jia's Mansion was copied in the Dream of Red Mansions, and the daughters of the eunuchs' families were sold into the workshop. I don't know why I have a breath in my chest. He was afraid that in the future, Rong Guofu and him would end up like this.

Jia Ke's heart was churning at this time, and suddenly he thought of Cao Cao, Wang Mang, and even Sima Yi. These people may not be loyal ministers of the imperial court at the beginning, Cao Cao only wants to be a general of the expedition to the west, Wang Mang is also humble and virtuous, and even Sima Yi is the pillar of Wei, and in the end they are not all traitors. This is what the situation forces me to do.

Jia Ke made up his mind in his heart, no matter who wanted his life, he would break the net with the other party, and he would never be caught and slaughtered by the other party, even if it was the emperor, he would not let the other party succeed.

After the emperor passed on the will to dispose of the two scholars, he said to Jia Ke and Pan Yong: "There are still many rebels against the party who have abolished the crown prince, and some people's cases must be concluded as soon as possible, and they must not be delayed for a long time." Late will change, who knows if these people will also be connected. ”

Jia Ke and Pan Yong knelt on the ground and said yes together, and Pan Yong also promised the emperor that this time he would deal with the case of the abolition of the prince quickly and strictly.

The emperor nodded, and then said: "There must be no tolerance this time, these people are the culprits who bewitched the prince and let the Heavenly Family kill their flesh and blood." ”

The emperor still has a thought in his heart, that is, the prince's nature is good, but these ministers have always wanted to follow the dragon, so they bewitched the prince, otherwise their father and son would still be father and son. Therefore, the emperor did not have any good feelings for these ministers who were attached to the crown prince, only full of disgust.

After listening to the emperor's words, Pan Yong understood that the emperor was going to be imprisoned at this time, although some of them were Pan Yong's old friends, but now the emperor was angry, and no one could save them.

Jia Ke thought about it was another matter, now the Liaodong Jiedu envoy and the Xuanfu Town Jiedu envoy are vacant, both of which are important defensive places in Beijing, if you don't appoint the chief general quickly, I'm afraid there will be a mistake in the two places. If the Tatars invade again and let the surrounding Shu Kingdom know, then the Celestial Empire will really become a laughing stock.

"Your Majesty, the minister is still a little worried, and I would like to make it clear to Your Majesty." Jia Ke also played like an emperor after Pan Yong finished speaking.

"Jia Aiqing, if there is anything, it will be played." The emperor's attitude towards Jia Ke was still very gentle.

"Your Majesty, now the Jiedu envoys in Xuanfu Town and Liaodong Town are vacant, both of which are key points leading to the capital, if you don't appoint the chief official quickly, I'm afraid the Tatars will take advantage of the weakness." Jia Ke's own concerns were truthfully reported to the emperor.

After listening to Jia Ke's report, the emperor also felt that if there was no chief general in these two places, it would indeed be a little dangerous, so he casually asked Jia Ke: "Then why can Aiqing be the chief general of these two towns?" ”

"Long live Qiyu, the minister has been an official in Xuanfu Town, and he is not familiar with the generals in the world, so he doesn't dare to speak falsely." Although Jia Ke is eager for military power, at such a time, where does he dare to suggest casually. Besides, if he wants military power, he has a better way, and there is no need to support his own power so blatantly.

"Jia Ke, if I ask you to say it, you can say it, you don't have any scruples, since you only know about the affairs of Xuanfu Town, then recommend two people from Xuanfu Town, you just recommend, as for whether I use it or not, it is my business." The emperor still insisted on letting Jia Ke recommend it.

Jia Ke thought about it for a while, and recommended two people to the emperor: "Your Majesty, if you really want to ask the minister to recommend, the minister can only recommend Huang Baifeng and Feng Mo." Huang Baifeng is a little older, but he is old, and he must be foolproof to guard Xuanfu Town. ”

"Oh, what about the other one?"

"Feng Mo is a little younger, but he is full of momentum but never reckless, let him serve as the envoy of Liaodong Jiedu, for the newly opened land of Liaodong, it is the best choice, not only to ensure the stability of Liaodong, but also to rely on his enterprising spirit to suppress the alien races in Liaodong." Jia Ke has now been out of the way, since the emperor wants to ask, he will say it all in one go, after all, among the generals of Xuanfu Town he knows, only these two people have stood alone, and these two people can be regarded as his henchmen.
