Huaide Fang, Zhenguo Mansion.

As the old founding mansion, the Zhenguo Mansion and the Rongning Second Mansion are only separated by one Qunxian Fang.

These wings are the essence of the entire West City, and they are also the few places that can introduce living water in the entire Shenjing City.

A large plaque is hung on the gate of the three beast heads, and the five big characters of "Creating the Town and the State Mansion" are written on it!

Because the prayer post was handed an hour in advance, the main gate of the Zhenguo Mansion was wide open at this moment.

The Zhenguo Mansion, which is only twenty years old, inherited the first-class Bo Niu Jizong, led the family to wait under the gatehouse, and when he saw Jia Cong coming, he hurriedly greeted him, bowed down and said: "Niu Jizong has seen the champion Hou!" (In the original book, when Qin Keqing died, Niu Jizong's decree had just grown into a man, and he was wrong at this year.) ）

Jia Cong turned over and dismounted, personally helped Niu Jizong's arm and stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Shiwai, you and I have been friends since our ancestors. For decades, they have supported each other and not treated them as different surnames. Brother Shi only needs to call me a Qing minister, and today I am cheeky and lead my brothers to visit the Zhenguo Mansion. ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to Baoyu and Jia Huan, who had just gotten off the carriage behind him.

The two of them hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Niu Jizong and said, "I've seen Brother Shi." ”

When Niu Jizong saw this, he was overjoyed, and after shouting, he heard Jia Cong say: "Brother Shi, these two brothers of mine are ordered by the old lady and wife of my family to come to visit the wife and wife of the family of the family of the world brother. I am the one who inherited the title and the official, and I am already a foreign man, so it is inconvenient to go in to greet the old lady and the wife, so I ask my two brothers to go in and say hello. ”

Xu is surprise came too suddenly, Niu Jizong opened his mouth and wanted to invite Jia Cong to join in, but looking at Jia Cong's warm but clear eyes, he suddenly remembered the purpose of Jia Cong's coming today, his eyes were hot, and he immediately said: "Come here, escort the two brothers of Rongguo Mansion to go inside to ask the ancestors for peace." ”

After the two family members led the two third-class servants inside to invite Baoyu and Jia Huan inside, Niu Jizong waved his robe sleeves and said loudly: "Qingchen, please inside!" ”

This sudden loud voice could even be heard by Baoyu, who had just entered the door, so that he almost fell down.

That's why he doesn't want to associate with these rough embryos.

Looking at the Zhenguo Mansion, which was completely different from the Rongguo Mansion, Baoyu and Jia Huan were hanging in their hearts, and followed the servants inside.

……

Zhenguo Mansion, Zhendingtang!

After Jia Cong and Niu Jizong sat down separately, Jia Cong got straight to the point and said: "Your Majesty ordered Wang Ziteng to take charge of the Beijing camp, and now among the six regiments of the battalion, the three major battalions of Liwei, Yangwei, and Xianwu have always been difficult to restrain themselves. Especially in the Xianwu battalion, since the garrison and above, all military attachés are vacant, morale is extremely low, and the army cannot form an army. Your Majesty has ordered me to help Wang Ziteng take control of these three battalions as soon as possible, but what good way can I do it? I can only go to the door to ask for help. ”

Niu Jizong smiled when he heard this: "Qingchen said that he laughed, although my brother is a few years older than you, what did you do...... Hehe. Being a brother is not a person who is arrogant, looking at the young people in Wuxun's relatives, even if Li Hu and Zhao Hao are them, I don't think I am inferior to them. Only you, Qingchen, hehe, are among us, and I can't wait for the dust!

In fact, Wang Ziteng's position should have belonged to your Jia family, and he picked up a bargain by virtue of his in-laws. If you come to be the commander of this Beijing battalion, these six regiments and battalions will not be a difficult task. The noble father in the army is too strong, and only the second generation of your family, the Duke of Rongguo, can barely compete with one or two back then.

Qingchen, you are a simple person, since you asked me, I also said clearly, there is really no way to be a brother. In the army, we have a founding line, and we can't compete with the founding lineage at all, and the difference is too far. ”

Jia Cong frowned and said: "Now that there are twelve regiments and battalions in the Beijing camp, there are only six regiments and battalions left in the Zhenyuan lineage, and Your Majesty still has the Imperial Forest Army in his hands, how can there be no way?" ”

Niu Jizong said with a smile: "Qingchen, you forgot the border army!" There are not only these twelve regiments and battalions, but also a million nine-sided troops! It was a fluke that his brother could inherit the earl. At the beginning, I had been in Horqin Mongolia for many years, and it was also blessed by my ancestors, but it happened that horse thieves were prevalent in those two years, and they also went to my camp, and they looked down on me, so I seized the opportunity to set up a siege and kill hundreds of heads. If it's a serious war, how can I have a chance? The nine-sided army of millions, the commander is all Zhen Yuan and the ministers. is not a person in other people's circles, and people do not oppress you, and completely ignore you. Although I got a first-class uncle, I was immediately transferred back to Beijing to be free, hey!

Look at Wang Ziteng again, in order to manage tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, he can't find a general with a broken head, but he can change to Zhenyuan Xunchen's side, and transfer a group of people from the nine sides at will, all of them are elite soldiers! How could the 12th Regiment Battalion be abandoned? However, even those public officials in the Military Aircraft Pavilion will definitely not transfer people from there. ”

Jia Cong's eyes flashed and he asked, "Why is that?" ”

Niu Jizong snorted, lowered his voice and said: "Because those veterans are all diehard loyalists of the Martial King!" These princes in Beijing, the position is basically at the top, and the glory and wealth have been used for so many years, and it is already two to say whether they have fighting spirit or not. Even if they are martial kings, what more can they give them? They are now only looking for a stable ...... But those veterans of the border army and the backbone of the army who are not knighted and only have the name of a general are still loyal to the martial king! The holy decree sent down to them may not work, and they are truly arrogant soldiers.

However, over the years, the imperial court has been pressing the food and salary of the nine-sided military town, and the hair of the buckle and rope is pressed by half, and the military strength of the nine-sided army is not as good as sixty percent of the year, or even half of it, and it is much wasted! Back then, the army of invincible opponents in the world was not defeated by the enemy, but it had to be folded in the hands of his own court, hey! ”

Niu Jizong is still young in the end, and it is difficult to hide complex emotions in his tone.

He was angry at the arrogance and domineering of his ministers, and he regretted that they were suppressed by jealousy.

After all, that is also the national defense force of the Great Cadres.

The self-destruction of the Great Wall always makes the people in the army have the sorrow of the death of the rabbit and the fox and the sadness of the wound.

Jia Cong said lightly: "Yes, I will never transfer people into Beijing from outside, and those people in Beijing will not be used." Therefore, His Majesty thought of our founding heroes. Brother Shi, I won't go around in circles, Your Majesty ordered me to help Wang Ziteng take charge of the Beijing camp, and there is no one available in his hands, so I can only find Brother Shi. The founder of the country, four kings and eight princes. The four kings did not mention it, except for the king of Beijing, who also inherited the throne, the rest had already declined. Even the king of the north does not occupy a military position...... Among the descendants of the Eight Princes, only the brothers are rare. Therefore, the younger brother wanted to recommend the younger brother to serve as the commander of the Xianwu Battalion. I know that this is not a beautiful difference, and it is bound to be strongly hated and suppressed by the ministers of Zhen Yuanchen! It's a must, I'm going to have a confrontation with them! Brother Shi, do you dare? ”

……

Zhenguo Mansion, Inner House.

Niu Jizong ordered Guo to smile at the old woman who was more than fifty years old on the soft seat: "These are the two brothers of the champion Hou, come to the door together today and say hello to the old lady." ”

Baoyu and Jia Huan saluted together and greeted the old woman on the high platform.

The Mrs. Tai of the Zhenguo Mansion is actually the same generation as Mrs. Wang.

As for the older generation, it's gone.

The lifespan of the cattle family is not long......

Mrs. Shen looked at Baoyu and Jia Huan for a while, and after giving up her seat, she said with a smile: "But the brother born from the Jia family's title of jade?" ”

Baoyu hurriedly got up and bowed humbly.

Shen nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "The Jia family has a good family education, not like our monkeys, all of them are stubbornly tight." ”

Niu Jizong also has a few brothers, either grandparents or concubines, and it is the time to be naughty.

The Niu family is a general, so it does not restrict the children of the clan.

As long as filial piety is not lost, the rest is a trivial matter.

Shen glanced at Jia Huan again, and saw that he looked timid, not as generous as Baoyu, revealing the spirit of a small family, but after asking slightly, he didn't mention it more, and asked Guo: "I often hear people say that the champion of the Jia family, the storyteller, the first son of the storyteller, tells his story, which is better than the heroic heroes in the play, and you often tell me that the child is rare in the sky and unparalleled in the ground, why don't you come in and see it?" ”

Guo Shi hurriedly smiled: "The old lady doesn't know, the champion Hou came today to discuss the big things outside with the master. Moreover, he also said that although he is not very old, after all, he has already inherited the title and become an official, and he is considered a foreign man, so it is not good to come in and disturb his relatives. If I have a chance in the future, I will ask the old lady again. ”

When Shen heard this, he became more and more curious: "People often tell me that although this champion Hou can be civil and martial, his temperament is the most domineering in the world, and even Mrs. Rong Guotai can't help him at home." Now it seems that he is so polite and humble, it can be seen that the rumors are all false. ”

Guo Shi was amused in her heart, she had seen with her own eyes how tough Jia Cong was, but she didn't say anything on her face, she just said: "It's mediocre not to be envied, even our master is often talked about outside, not to mention the champion Hou?" ”

Shen smiled when he heard this, nodded and said, "That's the reason." Listen to you, the champion Hou Sheng's excellent? ”

Guo Shi sighed and said, "I've never seen it so good!" It's just that the appearance is not enough, the key is the temperament of the people...... Tut-tut! ”

Shen was already curious, but now when he heard Guo say this, his heart became more and more like a cat's catch, and said: "Their sisters love Qingchen words the most on weekdays, and I have heard a lot of them, which is excellent." Now that you have praised people like flowers, how can I not see them? As for the foreign man or something, there is no need to mention it, he is only a little older, and he is not as old as Brother Hui'er. Hurry up and take a look, if it's just a big matter to discuss, please be sure to come in, let the old woman and me see it, otherwise how can you be willing? ”

Guo Shi smiled when he heard this, and then listened to Shen Shi say again: "Let their sisters also come out to meet, it is not only a good family, but it is not big, so there is no need to be taboo a lot." Aren't we such pedantic people, what do we do to pay attention to those sour rules? ”

Guo was also a general's daughter, so when she heard this, she was unhappy, so she went out with a smile.

Baoyu sat in the guest seat, looking forward to it and feeling a little disappointed.

Looking forward to what the young ladies of the Zhenguo Mansion are like, how they compare with the girls in the family......

What is sad is that it turns out that they have long liked Jia Cong......

……

It's really fixed.

Jia Cong got up and smiled at Niu Jizong: "There is a big stroke in Beijing, and we should watch together and support each other." It's just that I'm too sensitive to my errands, so I don't have a lot of contact. In the future, if there is any use for the younger brother to go to the Jia family, just send someone to my master. Wherever there is a contribution, the Jia family has no reason to postpone. ”

Niu Jizong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a straight face: "Champion Hou Gaoyi, the Niu family of Zhenguo, will be remembered in his heart." ”

Jia Cong smiled and stretched out his right hand, and Niu Jizong did the same, and the two of them high-fived and swore an oath.

After smiling at each other, Jia Cong was about to say goodbye, but saw Guo Shiqiao smiling and entering from the back hall.

……

It was more than half an hour later than expected, and it was only at dusk that Jia Cong led the joyful Baoyu and the bored Jia Huan to say goodbye from the Zhenguo Mansion and went to the Liu's house in the Liguo Mansion.

Niu Jizong of Zhenguo Mansion said that he alone ordered him to take charge of a battalion of soldiers and horses, which was the treatment of Wuhou, so he naturally accepted it.

Liu Fang, the Duke of Liguo, inherited the first-class prince, and could only get the position of a general, and he had to be under the Shenwu general Feng Tang.

Shenwu General Feng Tang is not as good as Liu Fang's first-class son in terms of title.

Not to mention that there is a prince Teng who doesn't even have a knighthood at the top.

For the noble family, although it cannot be said that decency is above all else, it is also extremely important.

It is nothing to let Liu Fang take over the military position, but it is difficult for him to be willing to submit to Wang Ziteng and Feng Tang, and to obey their orders.

It's not that they are unwilling to attack the real power officials, it's that their origins don't allow them to be subservient to the likes of Wang Ziteng.

The founding heroes are in the line, and most of them are only left with this empty shelf.

If they throw it out on their own, it will be worthless......

This is also the reason why Emperor Chongkang and Wang Ziteng did not directly give orders to Liu Fang and others.

And Jia Cong is different, his background and ancestral aura can build an excellent step for Liu Fang and the others, allowing them to walk down from the virtual shelf.

While not pouring himself into that frame, he can inherit the military attache with real power.

The reason is very simple: help the Jia family!

But Jia Cong believes that they will remember his incense!
