Chapter 459: Above the court
Seeing off the guests, Jia Cong returned to his new house.
Ying'er hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Uncle, you're here."
"Well, here we are."
Looking at Xue Baochai sitting on the bed, Jia Cong smiled and said, "Lady, I'm here, let you wait."
When Xue Baochai heard this, her face flushed, to be honest, she was really in a hurry, but fortunately, there was a red hijab in the way, and Jia Cong couldn't see it.
Ying'er handed over a weighing rod and said with a smile, "Uncle, quickly pick off our girl's red hijab and see if our girl is beautiful."
"Beauty, nature is beautiful, you don't need to look at it to know that it's beautiful."
Jia Cong smiled and picked up Xue Baochai's red hijab, only to see a handsome and stunning face appear in front of his eyes, which made him, who was used to seeing beautiful women, lose his mind for a while.
muttered in his mouth: "Beautiful, so beautiful, it's just a country and a heavenly fragrance, and the country is captivating."
Hearing Jia Cong's praise, Xue Baochai couldn't help but purse his lips and chuckle, and his heart was as sweet as drinking honey.
"You've always been flamboyant, I don't believe you."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Lady, what you said for your husband is true, true. As for the lady's flamboyant tongue, well, you do have a lot of right to speak."
Hearing Jia Cong's ridiculous words, thinking of the next flower candles in the cave room, Xue Baochai felt embarrassed in his heart, and his face turned even redder.
When Ying'er next to her heard this, she also laughed shyly.
"Girl, auntie, it's time for a glass of wine."
Jia Cong took Xue Baochai's hand, came to the table, drank a glass of wine, and looked at each other with a trace of sparks.
"Lady, I have finally waited for this day, and we will never be separated again."
Xue Baochai said with a shy face: "Well, you have to treat me well and don't let me down."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Don't worry, lady, I will definitely treat you like a jewel and love you well."
took Xue Baochai's hand and came to the bed again and sat down.
Jia Cong said, "Lady, the good night is short, let's rest early."
Xue Baochai glanced at Jia Cong with a blushing face, and couldn't help jumping up in his heart, and said "um" softly.
Jia Cong smiled slightly, got up and lowered the bed curtain······
······
The next day, after waking up.
Xue Baochai first gave Lin Daiyu a tea ceremony, and then accepted the tea ceremony from Ping'er, Mandarin Duck and others.
Although it is said that it is a big two-ended, just living under one roof, it is still necessary to distinguish the main and secondary, and there can only be one hostess in Ning Guofu.
Although it is possible to buy another house outside Ning Guofu, let Xue Baochai move in to be the hostess.
It's just that in this way, Jia Cong needs to run on both sides, which is not in Jia Cong's interests.
Even the Xue family doesn't necessarily like it, on the one hand, there is the Guogong Mansion, and on the other hand, there are ordinary rich families, which naturally cannot be compared, the Xue family is interested in Jia Cong's status, and the so-called conjugation is just for the sake of their own face.
If you can live in the Guogong Mansion, you will naturally not choose to live outside.
After breakfast, I went to Rongguo Mansion to make tea for Jia Mu and others, and thus completed all the processes.
As for the problem of getting along with the women, Jia Cong no longer interferes, with Lin Daiyu in charge, let them go by themselves, after a long time, it is inevitable to be jealous, and Jia Cong is too lazy to worry about it.
rested at home for three days, and also lost Xue Baochai for three days.
Although Lin Daiyu didn't say anything, her heart was still sour, and she spoke with a sour taste.
In this regard, Jia Cong can only comfort her well and spend more time with her.
During this time, he also ignored other people, and there was no way but to take the time to appease everyone's mood one by one.
During this time, Jia Cong was like a hard-working little bee, busy among the flowers.
Just when Jia Cong was busy appeasing the women, an eight-hundred-mile rush sent from Shaanxi broke the Shenjing City again
Serenity.
······
"Your Majesty, Chang'an City has fallen, General Cao Hu, the general of Shaanxi, has been killed, all the soldiers under his command have been wiped out, and Yulin is also in danger, so I ask Your Majesty to send troops to rescue."
"What ······?"
Emperor Longqing was shocked, the loss of Chang'an is equivalent to the loss of the whole of Shaanxi, Cao Hu has 70,000 or 80,000 people, how could he be defeated so quickly?
"Li Aiqing, is this news true?"
Li Guanglu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "Your Majesty, the news is true, this is the 800-mile urgent that the minister just received, and I also ask Your Majesty to take a look."
As he spoke, he took out a battle report and presented it with both hands.
Seeing this, Dai Quan hurriedly stepped forward to take it and sent it to Emperor Longqing.
Emperor Longqing took the emergency report and looked at it quickly, and the more he looked back, the more ugly his face became.
In the whole hall, there was a silent, deathly silence.
This news is too shocking, the army of 100,000 imperial courts was actually defeated by a group of mud legs, this is unbelievable, it is incredible.
Some people who know the inside story have their eyes starting to flicker, and they don't know what the hell they are thinking.
More people, seeing Emperor Longqing's ugly face, didn't want to touch his head at this time, and all stood there silent.
Emperor Longqing put down the urgent report in his hand, his face was full of frost, and his face was very ugly.
He also knew that this was not the time to get angry.
The top priority at the moment is to send a counterinsurgency army to wipe out this group of rebels in one fell swoop. Otherwise, let them continue to develop, and it will be difficult to control.
glanced at the ministers in the palace, and said in a cold tone: "Everyone already knows the situation, the war situation in Shaanxi has deteriorated to this point, I don't know how you Aiqing can teach me?"
As soon as the words fell, the cabinet ministers, the six Shangshu, and those leading generals bowed their heads one after another, and no one wanted to touch the mold.
Even those envoys with bright tongues and lotus flowers closed their mouths one after another and remained silent.
Jia Cong stood on the main hall, equally silent, and his heart was also filled with turbulent waves.
Although Cao Hu was defeated and retreated to Chang'an City, he still had 50,000 horses under his command, and it should still be possible to rely on the high walls of the city to hold Chang'an City.
But the rebels broke through the city, and they didn't even have a chance to break through, how strong are the combat power of these rebels?
Thinking of the information he got earlier, which said that those rebels were not afraid of death, Jia Cong not only began to believe it.
[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading
, I rashly brought it up, but it made Emperor Longqing dislike, and he didn't want to touch this mold.
Emperor Longqing saw that no one spoke, his face couldn't help but darken, he looked at Jia Cong, and saw that he was fine, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, did this kid really fall into the gentle countryside and wear out his will? Don't want to work harder?
looked at Li Guanglu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and said, "Li Aiqing, you are the secretary of the Ministry of War, do you want to send someone to lead the troops to quell the rebellion?"
Li Guanglu had already noticed Emperor Longqing's eyes, and when he saw his eyes glancing at Jia Cong, he immediately understood what he meant. I sighed secretly in my heart, at this time, only by sending Jia Cong, who had no defeat, to come out can there be hope of exterminating the rebels.
He arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the court is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and it should be cut through the chaos quickly, and the minister feels that with the Duke of Ning Guo, he can quickly pacify the rebels."
King Shui of Beijing dissolved and said, "Minister, second."
Niu Jizong came out and said, "Minister, second."
"Minister, second."
"Minister, second."
·······
Everyone is not stupid, they are used to observing words and feelings, and when they see someone taking the lead, other ministers also echo it.
Compared with other generals, they believe more in Jia Cong's combat power and ability, this is a little guy who can create miracles, and he is also a victorious general who has never been defeated, and an invincible general.
Besides, that's what Your Majesty meant.
When Jia Cong heard this, he sighed slightly, he should have come, he still came.
With so many people recommending it, it can't be shirked no matter what, and it's interesting enough to wait until you complete your wedding.
Hearing the echoing voices of the ministers, Emperor Longqing's face was happy, and it seemed that everyone's eyes were bright.
Emperor Longqing looked at Jia Cong and asked, "Duke Ning Guo, are you willing to lead the troops to quell the rebellion for me."
Jia Cong came out of the list and said righteously: "The minister is His Majesty's courtier, the general of Dachu, serving the country and being loyal to His Majesty, it is the duty of the minister, as long as His Majesty needs it, the minister will go to the soup and fire, and the horse leather will not be shrouded."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Longqing was immediately overjoyed, and it was still the Jia Cong he knew.
"Okay, Ning Guogong is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, I am very relieved, there is Aiqing to go out and pacify the rebels, just around the corner, I don't have to worry about it."
When the ministers heard this, they also looked sideways, and some people felt that Jia Cong was a model for the world. Some people also think that Jia Congxi has to pat the horse and please the emperor, but he is a flattering villain.
Lin Ruhai shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, he knew Jia Cong's temperament, and he also knew that he couldn't refuse today's scene, although he knew Jia Cong's ability, he was still a little worried in his heart.
It's just not long after getting married, and I'm going to lead the troops to go on the expedition, so Yu'er probably will be worried.
Shoufu Hu Yong said, "Ning Guogong, are you sure to quell the rebellion in Shaanxi?"
Jia Cong arched his hand and said, "Lord Hu, the soldiers on the battlefield are fierce and dangerous, and they are changing rapidly, not to mention those traitors, after more than a year of continuous fighting, they have been honed into an elite division, and their combat power is fierce.
Almost all of the soldiers we have mobilized are soldiers who have never been on the battlefield and have never seen blood, and the gap between the two is too great, and once encountered, there is almost no possibility of victory.
As far as I know, the number of rebels has exceeded 200,000, and the Yulin side will not be able to hold out for long.
When Emperor Longqing heard this, he suddenly realized.
No wonder their army was defeated and retreated, those rebels experienced several major battles, the big waves washed the sand, those weak were brutally eliminated, and the rest were all strong.
And there are so many of them, it's really terrifying to think about, and if you don't eradicate it, it will really become a great scourge.
At this moment, Emperor Longqing was not so confident in Jia Cong.
Emperor Longqing spoke, "Jia Aiqing, I don't know how many soldiers and horses you need, but do you have any other requirements? You can bring it up together."
Jia Cong pondered for a moment and said solemnly, "The minister needs at least 100,000 horses, the most
There is a cavalry of 10,000 people, and the ministers also need a large amount of gunpowder, at least 50,000 catties, as well as 100 artillery pieces, and sufficient ammunition.
With these things, it will increase the chances of winning by 30%, and when there is a fight. In addition, I also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to let the Tongguan guards defend Tongguan to the death, and send reinforcements to support and prevent Tongguan from falling into the hands of the rebels."
Li Guanglu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what Ning Guogong said is reasonable, once Tongguan is lost, the Central Plains will be in danger."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Longqing's face changed greatly, and the cabinet ministers and the officials of the six ministries also changed color.
Emperor Longqing groaned slightly, and then nodded in agreement.
"I'm right. Draw the vanguard battalion, Zhenwu battalion, and Yangwei battalion from the Beijing camp, a total of 30,000 horses, since you want so much gunpowder, and then give you the Shenji battalion, you will draw 10,000 horses from the forbidden army, and go with you.
The remaining men and horses were transferred from the Shandong battalion, 10,000 from the Henan battalion, and another 10,000 from Taiyuan, totaling 100,000 soldiers and horses. Other supplies will be allocated to you, but what more do you want?"
Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the whole of Shaanxi has fallen, and the ministers need to fight over step by step, but the territory that has been laid, the victims above need relief, if you don't care about it, fight in the front, and fight in the back, when is this a head, you can't kill them all."
Emperor Longqing frowned, this is indeed a difficult problem, you can't ignore it, you can't really kill them all as Jia Cong said, right? Then he will become a tyrant that everyone spurns.
He glanced at the ministers below and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any good ideas and methods for this, you might as well say them and let everyone hear them."
Second assistant Yang Huai said: "Your Majesty, now that more than 100,000 troops have gathered, you can send a cabinet official to sit in the town to be responsible for the logistics of the army's grain and grass, raise and distribute grain and grass for the army, and also appease and provide relief to the victims on behalf of the imperial court, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."
