Chapter 0516 From now on, there will be no Rongning Second Mansion
The battle between Jiafu and the Jinyi Army became the hottest topic in the imperial capital that day, and for a while, both the official and the private people were talking about it.
People were amazed by Jiafu's courage and strong combat effectiveness, and even more marveled at the final ending.
Of course, people all know that it was Her Royal Highness Princess Chang'an who came forward to intercede for Jiafu to achieve the final result.
The next day, many people rushed to Ningrong Street, some to inquire about the news, and some to go to Jiafu to see the excitement.
There are also some people who have dealings with Jiafu and want to take this opportunity to go to Jiafu and inquire about the details.
However, when they arrived, they found that the masters of Jiafu had left early in the morning.
Where the people of Jia Fu went, these people did not know. But then people understood that the departure of Jiafu was also inevitable.
Dare to openly argue with the emperor, if you still stay in the imperial capital in the future, it is equivalent to shouting with the emperor every day, deliberately slapping the emperor in the face, and being confiscated again, it is also a matter of time sooner or later.
Therefore, Jiafu's departure is still very wise.
By the afternoon, news came out. The emperor decreed that the titles of the two Rongguo Gong and Ning Guogong in Jiafu should be removed.
Just when people were looking forward to who would become the new Rongguo Gong and Ning Guogong, there was no follow-up.
It turned out that the emperor did not newly crown the Duke of Rongguo and the Duke of Ningguo.
At this point, it can be determined that from now on, there will be no more Rong Guogong and Ning Guogong.
The next day, news came out that like Rong Guogong and Ning Guogong, the titles of Zhenguo Gong, Li Guogong, Zhiguo Gong, and Qi Guogong were also cut off. Again, there is no successor to the title.
On the third day, the plaques on the doors of these six Guogong Mansions were taken off.
With the seizure of the six national mansions, the system of four kings and eight princes established during the founding period of the Dade Dynasty officially collapsed.
This marked the end of an era.
As for the fate of the remaining four kings and the two dukes, as long as they are people with a little knowledge, they actually know it in their hearts, but no one has said it publicly.
The purge of the six national mansions caused great panic in the imperial capital, especially among the major families. They fear that the same fate will happen to them.
In addition to Rong Guogong and Ning Guogong, the family properties of the other four families were confiscated.
As a result, all the families who have no bottom in their hearts have been busy selling their family property in the past few days, and some people have already sent their family members away first and began to prepare for the future.
Some wealthy businessmen also began to stop or curtail their business in the imperial capital, and gradually withdrew from the imperial capital.
The evacuation of these people soon showed its consequences.
The price of real estate and shops has fallen, the cash in the ticket number is less, and some silver tickets cannot be cashed. It has become difficult to hire a car, and the driver cannot find it. Some of the artisans' shops were closed, and the people were gone.
Gold and silver became scarce, and prices continued to rise. Slaves have increased, but the price has fallen. Although it has declined, it seems that no one has bought it anymore.
The most obvious is that food prices have begun to rise. Many families began to rush to buy food. Some rice shops have also started to stock up.
Although the official warehouse has begun to release grain in an attempt to stabilize grain prices, it has had little success.
At the same time, rumors of the escape of the family members of the San Francisco and the imminent rebellion of the San Francisco were openly discussed in the streets.
Although the Jinyi Army and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division have arrested many people and tried to quell the rumors, the spread of the news is still getting worse day by day.
It turned out that it was just the panic and anxiety of some big families, and it had begun to spread to the level of ordinary people. Some civilians also began to flee the imperial capital.
In order to reduce this panic, the Son of Heaven issued an edict that the residents of the imperial capital were strictly forbidden to leave the imperial capital.
The Jinyi Army, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and the Shuntian Mansion have been busy intercepting the outflow of people in the past few days.
Still, there are people who find ways to escape.
Different from the chaotic situation in the imperial capital, the Jiafu group who fled the imperial capital first had a relatively smooth journey.
In this group, there are 50 people brought back by Jia Qiang from Beihai, plus more than 20 people who are instructors in Chang'an by Shi Song and Shi Liu, as well as more than 40 masters and servants of Jiafu and a few masters and servants of the Xue family and the Shi family, a total of more than 130 people.
They boarded the ship from Tianjinwei and landed in Niuzhuang, traveling almost day and night all the way, and finally arrived at the Yangmingbao military platform on the 27th day of the lunar month.
Jia Lian took two people to the front station and arrived here a day early. I met Yang Dezhan, the commander of the Yangmingbao Military Stage.
Yang Dezhan suggested that Jia Lian go to Sun's house, and although Jia Lian hesitated, he still went with Yang Dezhan to see the old lady of the Sun family.
It has been snowing heavily since yesterday, and it has not stopped, even if the Jia family arrived at Yangmingbao, due to the snow blocking the road, it was impossible to continue to hurry, so the Sun family warmly invited and asked the Jia family to go to the Sun family for the New Year. After the New Year, go north again.
The next day, the Jia family braved heavy snow and finally arrived at Sun's house after a difficult trek.
The Sun family had already arranged food and lodging, and at this point, after coming out of the imperial capital, the Jia family and his party could rest with peace of mind.
Not long after Yang Dezhan returned from the reception banquet held by the Sun family for the people of Jiafu, more than 20 horsemen came to the military platform.
These people came from the north, although none of them wore military uniforms, Yang Dezhan could still see from their demeanor that this was a group of soldiers, and they were full of murderous soldiers.
There are not many such soldiers, and in the past few years, Yang Dezhan has only seen such soldiers from Jia Min's government corps.
When the group stopped outside, they seemed to be on constant alert, and it seemed that they would react immediately if something was abnormal.
A young man in his twenties walked in.
"May I ask if Yang Juntai's order is there?"
At this time, it was already the New Year, and there were no military horses and officials passing by in the military platform, so it was much more relaxed than usual.
When there is nothing to do, most of the people disperse, some go to the market to watch the excitement, some go to visit relatives and friends, and most of the people at home are eating, drinking and playing cards.
Therefore, when Yang Dezhan is at home, he often stares at it himself to see if there is anything to do.
As soon as the person who came in asked, he happened to ask Yang Dezhan's head.
"I am, may I ask ...... you?"
"My surname is Wei, my name is Wei Ruoshui, we are going to the imperial capital, our chief Min told me that when I arrive at Yangmingbao, I must stop here for a while, and greet Yang Juntai for him."
"Is Huaiyuan okay?"
"Commander Min is very good, thank you for your concern. We plan to stay here for one night today, and then leave tomorrow when the heavy snow stops, I wonder if it is convenient? ”
"It's convenient, Chief Min's people, it's convenient when they come. I will immediately have you to be given a place to live and eat. ”
"Then thank you Yang Juntai for the order, there is one more thing, I want to ask Yang Juntai for the order."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Recently, have you found a group of people from the imperial capital, they are the family members of Chief Min."
"Hehe, this is really a coincidence, just arrived today, and Commander Jia Lian and Battalion Commander Jia Qiang escorted them."
"Where are you now?"
"I just arrived at Sun's house today to settle down, and I just came back from eating and drinking there."
"Are the group okay?"
"Very good, the old lady is in good spirits, talking and laughing, and the family is not depressed. The journey was also quite smooth. The matter of Jiafu, we have heard about it here before, and it is admirable to dare to fight with the Jinyi army. ”
"Can Yang Juntai take me to Sun's house?"
"Naturally. However, don't worry, you can settle down with me first, and then it's not too late to take you there. ”
"Thank you for that."
"You're welcome, Huaiyuan and I are good friends, every time I pass by, he has to come to me to find me for a drink."
After the group settled in the military platform, Wei Ruoshui had a hasty meal, and then went to Sun's house with Yang Dezhan, met Jia Lian and Jia Qiang, talked a few words, and went to see the old lady together.
"Old Ancestor, this is Wei Ruoshui, he came back from Fourth Brother Min."
"Oh, Wei Ruoshui, you are the third child of the Wei family, right?"
"The ancestor has a really good memory, I am the third child of the Wei family."
"Is Brother Min okay there? Are the girls there? ”
"Ancestor, rest assured, the girls are all fine, Miss Xue, Miss Miaoyu, and Miss Lin have also returned safely, Aunt Ping'er and Miss Shen have also arrived in Beihai, and now they are waiting for you to go, the house is ready."
"Oh? How did you know we were going too? ”
"When I came back, I met Jia Ping, and I also knew a rough idea of what was going on in the house, but I didn't expect you to come out so soon."
"Could it be that Brother Min already knew that something was going to happen in our family?"
The old lady is not confused.
"I don't know, he was afraid that Jia Qiang would bring too few people and not enough to use, so he asked me to bring about 20 more people to come back to support Jia Qiang. Unexpectedly, I met Jia Ping first, and then I met you here. ”
"That's fine, there is no one in our family in the imperial capital, this time, you can go back with us."
"Ancestor, you go your way, and the second brother will escort you. We're going to the imperial capital. ”
"What are you going to do in the imperial capital at this time?"
"Isn't Grandma Rong still there, let's go and get her back."
"That's great, but how many people do you take to save them?"
"More than twenty people."
"More than twenty?"
Not only the old lady was suspicious, but even other people in Jiafu were suspicious.
More than 20 people are going to the imperial capital to save people, it's a bit of a child's play, right?
"Ancestor, his more than 20 people are all special combat members, they can be hundreds, as long as they go, they will definitely be able to save Brother Rong's daughter-in-law."
Jia Lian explained.
"Oh, I hope so. However, when I got there, I had to be careful, and if I didn't, I didn't force it, lest I lose my life in vain, which would make my family more and more uneasy. ”
"Rest assured, ancestors, we will act when we have the opportunity."
"What is Brother Min doing in Beihai?"
"Oh, he's fighting there now."
"Why are you fighting again? Who are you fighting with this time? ”
"Fight with two families, one is the Cossacks, and the other is the Rus' Empire."
"Who is that Cossack?"
"It's also a bunch of steppe riders."
"Ouch, look at it, as soon as Brother Min fights, he fights with the steppe iron horse, as if he is addicted."
"It's not that we want to fight them, they provoke us, so we have to beat them."
"Alas, it's better to do business and make money in harmony, and don't keep calling around. By the way, why did you fight with Rakshasa too? Isn't the Rakshasa the underworld, how did this battle bring down the underworld? Could it be that Brother Feimin has now changed his career to catch ghosts? ”
"Hehe, old ancestor, it's not a rakshasa, it's the Rus Empire, it's fighting in the yang, not the underworld. Although this Ross does not have as many people as our Dade, its territory is not smaller than Dade. It's also a very good opponent. ”
"Look at it, I will say that Brother Min is a restless person, and he dares to provoke such a big man, that is, he is not afraid of heaven and earth. Alas, it's really worrying. ”
"Ancestors don't have to worry, they can't beat us."
"Alright, I don't worry about it anymore. Now all I think is, when I get to the North Sea, just don't throw my little life there. ”
After the old lady finished speaking, she turned to Jia Zheng again.
"When you get there, you, the old man, also talk about Brother Min, and tell him not to fight this and that all the time for a day. Isn't it good to live together and live in harmony? ”
"Yes, Mother."
Jia Zheng was in the yamen, and he still knew a little about the Cossacks and Rus.
promised on his lips, but muttered in his heart.
He even dared to fight the Rus and the Cossacks, and I could still persuade him? When did he hear me?
