Chapter 438: The Queen's Ambition
Seeing Jia Cong come back safely, everyone was also relieved. said that he was not worried, but there would still be a trace of anxiety in his heart.
After knowing what happened, everyone couldn't help but grin in their hearts, this method was still so cruel, more than 100 people said to kill it.
Everyone else is just that, everyone is used to it, even if it is Yingchun, they don't feel like it. The sisters of the Li family, Xing Xiuyan and Xue Baoqin, who had just arrived, couldn't help but shudder in their hearts when they heard about this.
The rumors are true, this is really a bad star, that is more than a hundred lives, in his words, it is so lightly written.
Looking at Jia Cong's eyes, he couldn't help but show a touch of fear, and was frightened by Jia Cong. Xue Baoqin was also a little puzzled in his heart, it was incredible that more than 100 people were killed like that, and there was nothing to do.
She knew that her cousin Xue Pan had killed someone by his subordinates, but after the lawsuit, she still relied on the relationship of the Jia family, so the matter was settled.
It's good that my brother-in-law killed more than 100 people, but he was still in the capital, and there was nothing to do, which is too powerful.
Xue Baoqin said: "Brother-in-law, you are so powerful. Jia Cong smiled and said, "Let you see the smile, it's not worth mentioning." Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "I'll just say, with Brother Cong's ability, how can there be anything, everyone is worried in vain." Wang Xifeng admires Jia Cong's style of doing things very much.
Because she is also a ruthless and decisive person, and there are not a few lives on her hands. In the past, Jia Lian's maids were all cleaned up by Wang Xifeng by various means, including the maids she married, and there was only one Ping'er left, and she was caught by herself early.
Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian too closely, and there was no woman around Jia Lian except Wang Xifeng.
This also made him a little hungry for women outside, and he could do anything to anyone. Jia Lian's behavior may have been forced out by Wang Xifeng, which may be a rebellious mentality.
Aunt Xue also said: "If you can not do it in the future, you should not do it, it sounds strange and scary." Jia Cong smiled and said: "I know my aunt, I will pay attention in the future, this time it is also to vent my anger to the second brother and Baoyu, and to give the Zhou family a disadvantage, so that they know that my Jia family is not something they can move, and if they move, they will have to pay the price." Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Then I will thank you for your second brother, and let your second brother be the east another day, thank you." Jia Cong said: "Sister-in-law is polite, the family doesn't talk to the two families, why should they be so polite." But I couldn't help but secretly say in my heart, wouldn't I want to use the name of the second brother to invite myself alone?
This can really do it. When the time comes, I will go or go. Looking at the fairy concubine-like figure in front of him, Jia Cong also felt a trace of heat in his heart.
Mrs. Wang also smiled rarely: "Brother Cong, I also thank you for Baoyu." Jia Mu smiled and said: "Okay, good, that's good, this is what a family member should look like, I can protect my brothers, protect my family, the Jia family has you, I am relieved, and I am worthy of my ancestors." Jia Cong smiled: "This is all the credit of the old lady, if there is no old lady, where would I be?" Jia Mu laughed when she heard this, and the others laughed too.
Lin Daiyu pulled Jia Cong aside and said in a low voice: "Brother Cong, why don't you call me when you take someone to fight?" Jia Cong smiled dumbly and said, "How can I call you?" Could it be that he said: Sister Lin, go, kill people. Let the old lady hear it, and she won't scold me to death. "Lin Daiyu
"Poof" smiled, slapped Jia Cong, and said with a smile: "You are really a person, you won't call me secretly." Jia Cong said: "I didn't go myself, let Li Biao take someone there, this kind of trivial matter, where will I personally take action." Xue Baoqin came to the two of them, pulled Jia Cong and asked, "Brother-in-law, aren't you afraid of killing so many people?" Jia Cong glanced at her and said with a smile: "Didn't you hear me tell your sister Lin, I didn't go, I asked my guards to take people there." Besides, I'm a general, and people who have been on the battlefield kill tens of thousands of people at a time, it's a common thing, just kill a few people, what's there to be afraid of. ”
"Ah, is that so?" Xue Baoqin was a little surprised when she heard this, and then she also understood. This brother-in-law has been a soldier in Liaodong for three years, and he was named the Duke of Ning Guo by the emperor by virtue of his military exploits.
Thinking of this, he said with some curiosity: "Brother-in-law, can you tell me about your previous war?" Jia Cong asked, "Sister Qin, you are still interested in these things, if you want to hear it, I can tell you about it." ”
"Really, that's great." Seeing that Jia Cong agreed, Xue Baoqin suddenly became happy. Seeing a few people getting together and chatting, Shi Xiangyun and Xichun also ran over and chatted.
Mother Jia was in a happy mood today, and said to Wang Xifeng: "Feng girl, you go and make arrangements, tonight, you can eat here with me." Wang Xifeng said: "Ancestor, you can rest assured, it has been arranged a long time ago, and we will set up a banquet when it arrives." Jia Mu nodded, and saw that those little girls were all around Jia Cong, laughing and playing, and she couldn't help but show a smile on her face.
Wang Xifeng said with envy: "These girls, it is really a great creation to be able to stand up to such a brother as Brother Cong." Seeing them so affectionate, I was a little jealous. Jia Mu smiled: "Isn't he also your brother, you play with him, and no one won't let you go." Wang Xifeng said: "Look at how hard they chat, I won't go over to join in the fun, so as not to be disliked." Jia Mu stretched out her ears and listened to Jia Cong and them, she liked this kind of lively scene.
Li Kun sat on the side and didn't make a sound, her identity was a little embarrassing, and it was not good to show it too obviously.
In addition, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, does not deal with Jia Cong, and she is even more difficult to behave, so as not to make this mother-in-law unhappy.
Hearing Wang Xifeng say this, he couldn't help pouting. This phoenix is detained today, this is not her character.
still remembers that yesterday, she pulled Brother Cong away, and she actually provoked herself, and that intimacy couldn't help but make people blush.
Even he has fallen, this phoenix spicy man, won't it have something to do with Brother Cong, right? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look back and forth at the two of them.
Feeling Li Kun's gaze, Wang Xifeng turned his head to look over and raised his eyebrows at Li Kun. Seeing her like this, Li Kun remembered the scene of being deflated yesterday, glared at her angrily, and turned his head.
······ Emperor Longqing walked out of the imperial study and came all the way to Cining Palace. When the queen got the news, she hurriedly came out with the palace maids and eunuchs.
From afar, he saluted Emperor Longqing: "Concubine, welcome Your Majesty." Emperor Longqing said: "The queen is exempt." Only then did the queen stand up and accompany Emperor Longqing to the main hall.
After letting Emperor Longqing sit down, he served fragrant tea, and then the queen spoke: "Your Majesty, how can you have time to come to the concubine here at this time, aren't you usually reviewing the folds?" Emperor Longqing said: "I, I am a little bored in my heart, come out for a walk, and scatter my heart." When the queen heard this, she had some doubts in her heart, could it be that something big had happened?
Listening to the people below, it seems that Jia Cong was called into the palace by His Majesty, is this matter related to Jia Cong? Let's hope that kid is okay.
This little enemy came to the palace and didn't come to see the palace, which is really a bit excessive. looked at Emperor Longqing's expression, it was really not very good, so he said: "Your Majesty is so diligent in government, it is really too tired, and the concubines are a little distressed when they see it." Your Majesty should come out and walk around more often, so as to relax your mood. Although state affairs are important, but Your Majesty's body is more important, Your Majesty still works less and cultivates more, there are so many ministers in the imperial court, what is there to tell them to do, otherwise why raise them for nothing? Emperor Longqing listened to the empress's words, and a smile appeared on his face.
Whether it is sincere or false, when I hear it, I am still happy in my heart. As his sons grew up, these children, as well as his own women, all changed, staring at the seat under their butts, but there was not much emotion in their hearts.
It is said that the royal family has no family affection, which may be the sorrow of being an emperor. Widows, widows, lonely people, but also very appropriate.
Emperor Longqing said: "How can it be as simple as you said, there are many things, I still have to take a look, at least I have to know in my heart, the current court officials, either do not contribute, or have no ability, do not take state affairs to heart, I have no choice." The queen persuaded: "These things are not in a hurry, just take your time, Your Majesty is so diligent, this world will definitely get better and better." Emperor Longqing smiled: "I hope so, I also have a bit of a headache for many things." The queen took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, why are you bored today, if it is not important, you can talk to the concubines, and your Majesty's heart may be better if you say it, and it can be regarded as a relief for Your Majesty." "For himself, the queen, Emperor Longqing is still very satisfied.
Being empathetic is not something that others can compare, and I never make trouble for myself. He can still feel his thoughtfulness and concern.
Emperor Longqing sighed: "It's not Jia Cong's kid, how long has it been stable, and then he caused trouble again, and wiped out a small force of the Zhou family, although those people also deserve to die, but this big court, just such a ruthless hand, it is a bit too arrogant." Listening to Emperor Longqing's words, the empress couldn't help frowning.
It's really something that the little wrongdoer provoked, this kind of behavior is indeed a bit inappropriate, but when it involves the Zhou family, it makes sense.
The Zhou family took advantage of Jia Cong's absence in the capital to hire someone to do something to the people of the Jia family, although there is no conclusive evidence, anyone with a discerning eye can guess that Jia Cong also returned to Beijing in advance for this matter.
This kid is also calm, he has never made a move on the Zhou family, and it is very good to be able to endure it until now.
The queen said: "What Your Majesty said is, but the two of them have a deep grudge, and it is understandable that Ning Guogong did this." With their young temperament, they didn't directly attack the Zhou family, which was already relatively restrained. Emperor Longqing nodded and said: "Jia Cong, this kid, can be regarded as sensible, but he is also a character who does not suffer losses, and he is still too young." I've already made the decision to settle the grievances between the two of them, and I hope there won't be any more trouble. The queen's eyes rolled, and she couldn't help but think in her heart.
If this matter is used to let Jia Cong take over the forbidden army of the palace, this is also an opportunity. If it can be done, his plan will be eighty percent successful, and he can often meet with this little enemy, which kills two birds with one stone.
What's more, I mentioned it myself last time, and His Majesty also agreed, but something happened later, so I stopped it.
Thinking of this, the queen spoke: "Your Majesty, after all, Ning Guogong is young and very kind to His Majesty, if you suppress him too harshly, it may backfire." Not only will he not be able to get up with the training he deserves, but it is very likely that he will misunderstand His Majesty, and he will have resentment in his heart, and he will be pushed out, if that is the case, it will be a bit more than worth the loss. Listening to the empress's words, Emperor Longqing frowned.
Thinking back on Jia Cong's attitude and performance, I couldn't help but think about it in my heart. From the boy's expression, he didn't see the meaning of resentment or complaining, but he was just a little negative.
At present, Jia Cong is indeed a loyal and filial person, and he is even more kind to himself, and when it comes to filial piety to himself, even his own sons, none of them can compare to him.
If such a hero who is close to him and loyal to himself is pushed out, Emperor Longqing is also unwilling.
Jia Cong is different from those officials, who are officials just to make a fortune. Thousands of miles for officials, only for money.
This is not to say, most of the officials are of this kind. Jia Cong now has a status, and he is not short of money, he doesn't care about that bit of money at all, he is really doing things as an official.
From the three years of military experience in Liaodong to the one-and-a-half-year official work in the capital, it can be seen that Jia Cong is the kind of person who does practical things, which compares everyone else.
If you lose such an arm, it is indeed a bit worth the loss. Emperor Longqing said: "Probably not, listen to him, but I enjoy this kind of life, I look a little negative, and the others don't show it." The queen said: "Your Majesty, it is not so much a passivity, but a disappointment, a disappointment to the court and Your Majesty." If it were His Majesty himself, in the position of Ning Guogong, he made meritorious contributions, but was idle, how would His Majesty feel? "The queen has already let go, this time she must get Jia Cong into the forbidden army, as for the consequences, she doesn't care anymore.
As long as Jia Cong has mastered the forbidden army and is willing to cooperate with him, the entire palace will have the final say.
At that time, the heir to the throne will be none other than his son. As for Emperor Longqing, it is best to be safe, otherwise, he can only give him a ride in advance.
Emperor Longqing didn't know the queen's thoughts, and when he heard her say this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. If this is changed to himself, it must be difficult to accept, Jia Cong can be so knowledgeable, it is already rare.
Emperor Longqing said: "What the queen said is, it seems that my approach is a bit taken for granted, although my intentions are good, I must be able to make people understand, what is the queen's clever plan?" ”
