At the beginning, when the provincial courtyard of Jiafu had just begun to be repaired, it first built a lot of shops on the side of the street.

Because of its proximity to Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion as well as Ningrong Street, these shops sold out quickly.

As it turned out, these shops did generally do a good job, and to this day, too.

At the beginning, Jia Qiang also opened a shop called "Yangguan" here, and he has been here since he came back from Beihai this time. While doing business, he carried out the task given to him by Jia Min - to secretly protect the safety of each family.

In addition to Jiafu having sent the girls away, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, and Wei Ruolan also sent the young people and some female dependents of their families to Beihai.

Not long ago, several families have been on the road separately and are currently on their way to Beihai.

At this time, Jia Qiang was in the shop with Jia Qiang, ostensibly chatting and drinking tea, but in fact he was waiting for a person, this person was the current commander of the Jinyi Army, Zhou Tong.

It was getting late, the pedestrians on the road were gradually thinning, and Ningrong Street, which was noisy during the day, had quieted down. Only the Yuyin Hall not far away, and the sound of silk and bamboo was heard from time to time.

The door opened, and a tall, twenty-seven-eighteen man entered.

"I'm sorry I'm late."

"Brother Zhou is polite, it's not too late, please inside."

The person who came was Zhou Tong.

Jia Lian led in front, Zhou Tong followed into the inner room, Jia Qiang pushed open the door, looked around, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he came back and sat down in the inner room.

On the table inside, the food and drinks are already arranged.

"Come, Brother Zhou, please feel free, thin wine and mussels, not a tribute."

"Second Brother Lian doesn't have to be polite, he is already flattered by such hospitality. Coming here today, there are two things I want to tell Second Brother Lian, look at this. ”

Zhou Tong took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Jia Lian.

What is written on the paper is the time when the guests who have come and gone to Jiafu in the recent past, as well as the time when the masters and main housekeepers of Jiafu have entered and exited Jiafu.

"Brother Zhou, this ......."

"Second Brother Lian, this is the surveillance record of the Jinyi Army, but it is not the surveillance under my control."

"Brother Zhou is saying that within the Jinyi Army, there are still forces that are not controlled by you?"

"On the surface, they are all controlled by me, but in fact there are some people who secretly obey the orders of others. Not only me, but even Xie Kun at the beginning. ”

The Jinyi Army is directly under the orders of the emperor, and it can install its own people in the emperor's pro-army, which shows the strength of the power behind the scenes.

"This is the first thing, the second thing, is that I can't help you in the future. Second Brother Lian had no choice but to do it himself. ”

"What do you mean by Brother Zhou......?"

"I have received definite news that I will be transferred to Shaanxi as an envoy and will leave the imperial capital soon."

"How so?"

"Alas, now the situation is turbulent, I am the champion appointed by the emperor at the beginning, all these years, I have been walking in the palace and receiving holy grace, and now the emperor is seriously ill, alas, forget it, don't talk about it, drink."

As soon as Zhou Tong said it, Jia Lian understood.

Because Zhou Tong is the emperor's person, now that the crown prince is in charge of the country and is about to succeed the emperor, he naturally will not regard him as his own.

For such a key position as the Jinyi Army, how could the prince not let go of his own people.

"Who will take over the Jinyi Army?"

"The people around the prince, Sun Tongren and General Sun Counselor, were brought back from North Vancouver with the prince, you should be familiar with them."

This Sun Tongren is the Sun General who followed the prince when Jia Min rescued the prince from Wendula Mountain.

"As far as I know, Sun Tongren is an incompetent person, how can he take on the heavy responsibility of the Jinyi Army?"

"Second Brother Lian, don't you understand? Today's situation is about loyalty and disloyalty, as for whether you have the ability to do it, hum! Huaiyuan's ability is comparable to a few people, and to this day, when I am with Zuo Linliang, I often talk about it. At the beginning, this champion should actually be Huaiyuan. ”

"But the result? Isn't it the same as being discarded? It's a pity to have a lot of talent. ”

"Sai Weng is not blessed, and it is not a good thing for Brother Zhou to leave the imperial capital this time."

"It's true, I went to Shaanxi, but I left the imperial capital, which is a place of right and wrong. I would like to thank them. By the way, where is Huaiyuan now? ”

"Doing business in the North Sea."

"Alas, it's a pity that Huai Yuancai is talented. When he was in charge of Bu Kui for only two years, he made Bu Kui thriving. ”

"The fourth brother Min is sharp and destined to be difficult to gain a foothold in the court. It's also a good thing to be at ease outside now. ”

"The emperor now understands that he wants to enable Huaiyuan, but it's a pity that it's too late."

The matter of Yuanheng Tianzi using Jia Min as the right attendant of the military department has spread.

In this regard, some people say good, some people say bad, and so on.

In any case, people also know that it is impossible to use Jia Min again.

Although it was Jia Min who rescued the prince and princess from Wendura Mountain, if he had been activated because of this, he would have been activated a long time ago.

Even if Jia Min was appointed as the deputy head of the Zongren Mansion at the beginning, it was just an expedient measure.

The outside world generally believes that it is only because Jia Min has made too much credit in the affairs of Wendura, and the emperor has to do it.

In order to stop the mouths of people who do not know the rewards and punishments.

Now it is an exception to reuse Jia Min as the right attendant of the Ministry of War and preside over the national military training, which is a good use for Jia Min.

It's a pity that now that the prince is in charge of the country, he has taken control of the government, and the prince has never liked Jia Min, so he naturally shelved this proposal.

In fact, even if the prince does not put it on hold, Jia Min is really appointed as the right attendant of the military department, and it is difficult to train the troops in his own way.

Li Yuan is a protégé of the Luo family, and the household department is now directly in Luo Hanlin's hands. If Jia Min wants to implement his own ideas, there will be many obstacles at these two passes.

Not to mention that Jia Min will not be the right attendant of the military department now, even if he wants to be, he may not be able to make any achievements in a short period of time.

Zhou Tong's view is actually very accurate. The emperor has come to his senses now, and it is too late.

"There is another thing, so that Second Brother Lian can know."

"Brother Zhou, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Bu Kui He Jialin may also be resigned in the near future."

To be removed from the post is to be transferred from the original post and to wait for appointment.

The transfer from the original post is effective immediately, and it is not certain when the new post will be assigned, regardless of the position.

He Jialin is Wang Ziteng's brother-in-law and two important generals under the command of Jingying Wang Ziteng.

The signal conveyed here is that Wang Ziteng's military power will be weakened.

Zhou Tong left, and both Jia Lian and Jia Qiang felt a little frustrated.

"Forget it, let's contact Qiu Liang more in the future. Let's go, go to Qionglin. ”

Jia Lian said, and went out with Jia Qiang. The two of them didn't ride horses, so they walked to Qionglin Restaurant.

After walking two streets, I arrived at Qionglin Restaurant, where Marchand was already waiting at the door.

Without saying anything, he went inside.

There are already three people inside, it is Niu Jizong, Liu Fang and Chen Ruiwen.

"I've kept you waiting, and there are some trivial things at home that I can't leave, I'm sorry."

"Second Brother Lian doesn't have to be polite, they are all brothers, please sit down."

"I don't know how many of you came to our brothers, what do you have to say?"

"It's not a secret, there are some things that I want to ask Second Brother Lian."

Niu Jizong said, pouring wine for Jia Lian and Jia Qiang.

"Brother Niu, but it doesn't hurt to say, if I know, I must know everything."

"Where is Brother Min now?"

"Doing business in the North Sea."

"I heard that Baoyu and the girls from your mansion have already gone to Bukui, but is there such a thing?"

"It's gone."

This matter is no secret now, and Jia Lian has no need to hide it.

"Second Brother Lian, don't worry too much, there was indeed some conflict between our family and your mansion at the beginning. However, in the end, it was we who lost. Regarding the grievances here, when he was in Windura, he had already eliminated the grievances with the Min brothers. Now looking for Second Brother Lian, there is something to ask for. ”

"Brother Niu might as well say bluntly, if you can help, you will do your best."

"Several of us also want to follow your example, and ask the girls and children of the family to go out for some training, and if possible, also go to Bukui Beihai to do some business. We are clear about Brother Min's ability, and no matter where he is, he can gain a foothold. ”

"You mean ......."

"Please ask Second Brother Lian to write a letter to Brother Min for us, and when our family arrives there, we can take refuge in Brother Min."

"Fourth Brother Min's temperament, you are also clear, as long as you go, he will naturally help. In fact, it does not matter whether you write this epistle or not. ”

"If we go, it's okay to say, but the four of us have to stay in the imperial capital, and the family is not familiar with Brother Min, so we found Second Brother Lian."

"That being the case, I will write you one. However, when you get there, you still have to rely on yourselves. ”

"That's nature. Although our family is not as good as before, we can find a little bit of money. When you get there, you won't be dragged down by the Min brothers. ”

The four families of Niu, Liu, Chen, and Ma belong to the other four princes of the eight kilometers of the four kings. plus the Duke of Rong Guo and Duke Ning of the Jia family, there are a total of six dukes.

The other two are the Hou family of the Duke of Hou and the Shi family of the Duke of Xuguo.

At the beginning, Jia Min obtained evidence of Ma Qiming and Chen Jiayin's bandits by exterminating the bandits of Lubawang in Wulong Mountain, and later the two were sent to serve in the military.

After recovering South Windula a few years ago, the two were pardoned and recalled by Yuan Heng, but they have not been reactivated since.

According to Dade's practice, people like Ma Qiming and Chen Jiayin can also be reactivated. However, in the era of Yuan Heng, none of them were activated, and these families were originally relatively estranged from the prince, and now the hope of a comeback is even more slim.

At this time, the major families were already soldiers, and the situation of many families was similar to that of Jiafu.

Niu Jizong's move was just to find a way back for themselves.

Yuan Heng had already weakened the major families before, but he hadn't torn his face in the end.

Now that the crown prince is about to ascend the throne, if there is another round of purges, just find an excuse to make them fall into a place of no return.

These families are not like the Jia family, and there is a way for Jia Min to retreat in Beihai, and now if you want to arrange the younger generation, you have to find Jia Min's head.
