Chapter 664 Rumors entered Beijing, and the emperor was furious
Dusk, Shenjing City.
The two rode fast horses and galloped into the Shenjing City.
While running, shouting.
"Eight hundred miles in an emergency, the king of Liaodong was ordered to return to Beijing, and he was suddenly ambushed halfway, suffering heavy casualties, and narrowly escaped his life."
"Eight hundred miles in an emergency, the king of Liaodong was ordered to return to Beijing, and he was suddenly ambushed halfway, suffering heavy casualties, and narrowly escaped his life."
"Eight hundred miles in an emergency, the king of Liaodong was ordered to return to Beijing, and he was suddenly ambushed halfway, suffering heavy casualties, and narrowly escaped his life."
······
One went straight to the palace, and the other made a detour back to Ningguofu.
The originally peaceful Shenjing City was boiling again because of this news.
Many people heard the sound and came to the street.
Looking at the figure that was quickly moving away, and the voice that was still floating in the air, many people were stunned in place.
"The king of Liaodong was ambushed and killed, what is going on?"
This news really shocked countless people.
A few months ago, he had just defeated the barbarians and recaptured Shenyang City, so why was he ambushed and killed as soon as he came back?
"Third child, did my ears hear it wrong, the king of Liaodong encountered an ambush on the way back to Beijing, is this true?"
"Whether it's true or not, I don't know, but that's what I just heard."
"Lao Liu, this can still be fake, it's all eight hundred miles in a hurry, this is absolutely true."
"Who dares to be so bold and dare to ambush the prince, isn't this looking for death?"
"I don't know, it's probably not an ordinary person, who would dare an ordinary person."
"Hey, I don't know if the prince is injured?"
······
The news quickly spread throughout the capital and also reached Ning Rong's second mansion.
Erya got the news as soon as possible and knew what Jia Cong meant.
immediately mobilized his intelligence officers to spread the news as much as possible.
At the same time, we should pay close attention to the movements of all parties and strive to grasp first-hand information.
And make arrangements to deal with the next developments, and wait for the return of the prince.
When Qin Keqing heard the news, he was taken aback, and he was relieved to know that Jia Cong was fine.
But I still found You Shi and discussed countermeasures.
"Mother-in-law, have you heard about Uncle Cong's ambush, and I don't know if Uncle Cong was injured."
You Shi sighed: "Naturally, I also heard about it, and when I heard the news, it scared me, if Brother Cong has a good one, what can we do." Hey, I don't know which god killed it, but I actually dared to make a move on Brother Cong, it's really annoying.
By the way, if Brother Cong comes back, there is no one to take care of at home, so when the time comes, you can take the jewels and them to take care of Brother Cong, and I hope Brother Cong is not injured."
"I know my mother-in-law, this is what a daughter-in-law should do, and I will have someone tidy up the room in a while."
I haven't seen Jia Cong for two years, whether it's Qin Keqing or You Shi, they all miss Jia Cong very much.
I was quite happy to hear that the class teacher returned to the DPRK this time.
Unexpectedly, they encountered such a thing again, which made them feel uneasy all the time.
"By the way, why don't we go ask Erya, she might know better."
"Then let's go, I can't get any definite news, and I can't rest assured."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got up and went out and walked towards Jia Cong's yard.
······
At the same time, Jia Mu also heard the news.
was frightened in his heart, and hurriedly asked Jia Lian to go out to find out the news.
Waiting in the room, it's really a little unbearable.
Although Wang Xifeng is also worried about his brother-in-law, in front of Jia's mother, he still has to comfort Jia's mother first.
"Ancestor, don't worry, don't worry, Brother Cong will be fine, hundreds of thousands of Mongolian Dazi and hundreds of thousands of barbarians can't beat him, just a few
Little thief, how could you hurt Brother Cong."
Jia Mu sighed: "Feng girl, although the battlefield is dangerous, your brother is the commander of the first army, and he is protected by a large army, I am not too worried, but he was ambushed on the way back to Beijing, which is a bit dangerous, if it is a small thief, how can it be eight hundred miles in a hurry."
Wang Xifeng said, "Didn't you say that the class master returned to the dynasty? With the protection of a large army, who dares to ambush and sneak attack, isn't that looking for death?"
Jia Mu shook her head: "It's definitely not that simple, if you are with the army, you won't be ambushed. Hey, it's been two years since I left, and when I come back from the war, I still encounter this kind of thing, which is really worrying.
By the way, Amber, you go to the East Mansion and ask to see if they have any accurate information."
"Got it, old lady, slave and maid are going to go."
Amber said yes and walked out of the room.
Aunt Xue sighed and said, "I don't know if those children came back with them, but don't be fine, hearing this news, my heart has been tugging, and I really can't let it go."
Mother Jia said, "Don't worry too much, Mrs. Cong, Brother Cong'er's child is still very reliable, and he will definitely protect the children and will not let them take risks."
"Yes, auntie, you don't have to worry too much, maybe you didn't bring them back this time."
Wang Xifeng also spoke out to persuade and help enlighten Aunt Xue.
"Hey, I hope so, it's so far away, it's too inconvenient, if it weren't for the cold over there, I'd follow Bao Yatou, and I can help her see the child."
Speaking of children, Jia's mother smiled and said, "Ruotong's girl is so cute, full of aura and cleverness, I want to bring it over and help them raise it."
Aunt Xue also smiled, "But isn't it, that child is cuter than when Bao Ya was young, I miss her a little."
Wang Xifeng said sourly: "Brother Cong is really blessed, it's only been a few years, and he has a large group of children."
When several people heard this, they all laughed.
Only Mrs. Wang sat on the side, silent, and didn't know what she was thinking in her heart?
At this time, Jia Lian walked in.
"Old lady, my grandson inquired clearly, I heard that the emperor asked Brother Cong to return to Beijing as soon as possible, Brother Cong left the army with hundreds of guards, and soon encountered an ambush, Brother Cong was not injured, I heard that he had returned to the army."
"How could it be such a coincidence, not long after Brother Cong left the army, he encountered an ambush, but fortunately it was fine."
Hearing Jia Lian say this, Wang Xifeng had a little more doubt in his heart.
Hearing that Jia Cong was fine, Aunt Xue was also relieved.
Jia Mu sighed, this happened too coincidentally, there must be something greasy in it.
Fortunately, Brother Cong is fine, and it is also a great luck in misfortune.
It's just that in the days to come, it is estimated that it will not be so peaceful.
"It's fine that your brother is fine, but do you know how long it will take for him to arrive in the capital?"
Jia Lian said, "Old lady, the army is too slow, it is estimated that there will be another three or five days. I went out to inquire about the news this time, and I heard a lot of people talking outside, saying that Brother Cong was calculated, and I don't know if it was the hand of the imperial court?"
Jia Mu said, "Don't mention this matter again, when your brother comes back, ask him what is going on."
"Got it, old lady."
Jia Lian responded, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart.
At this moment, Amber led You Clan in.
said hello to everyone and came to Jia Mu.
"Old lady, Brother Cong sent someone to deliver the news, he doesn't have anything, and now he is in the army, so don't worry about the family."
Jia Mu laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, those children can come back with them?"
You Shi said: "Old lady, this time it was Brother Cong who came back by himself, those children have stayed in Liaoyang, the old lady doesn't have to worry. By the way, old lady, Brother Cong asked me to ask, would you like to live in Liaodong?"
Hearing that the children did not follow, Jia Mu also breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he heard the latter words, his brows couldn't help frowning.
"Stay well in the capital, what are you going to do in that wild place? Besides, it's a long way to go, I can't go, do you want to move all of your Dongfu to Liaodong?"
You Shi nodded: "Old lady, this is what Brother Cong meant, we may all go to Liaodong."
Wang Xifeng said, "Didn't I hear that people can freeze to death in Liaodong? Didn't you suffer that in the past?"
You Shi smiled: "Well, I heard that the winter in Liaodong is indeed quite cold, most of the time it is icy and snowy, but they all hide in the house, and then burn the stove, the house is not cold."
Jia Lian said with a smile: "There are wild places everywhere over there, deep mountains and old forests are everywhere, no one dares to walk in the wild, this kind of place, I don't want to go."
Jia Mu looked at a few people and laughed, but muttered in her heart.
Brother Cong can't be good, so let everyone move to Liaodong, it is estimated that there are really a lot of things here.
Could it be that the imperial court is going to deal with Brother Cong again?
If that's the case, that's not good.
I don't know if Xifu will be affected?
Thinking of this, Jia Mu was also big for a while.
This grandson is powerful, but it's a little too powerful, so powerful that people are afraid of it.
If there is no means to do this, it is estimated that the results will not be very good in the future.
It seems that Brother Cong has also seen it and plans to move the whole family to live in Liaodong.
Over there, the emperor is far away, far away from the political center, and there will be a lot less trouble.
It's just that his idea is a little too taken for granted.
I went back to the capital this time, and it is still unknown whether I can go back.
Hey, I don't know, this kid has the means to protect himself, it's really worrying.
It seems that he needs to be reminded to do so.
"When Brother Cong comes back, let him come and see me, I have something to say to him."
"Got it, old lady."
······
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
When the emperor heard the news that Jia Cong was ambushed, his face couldn't help but be stunned.
Turning his head to look at Wang Bao on the side, he asked, "Jia Cong's matter, did you arrange someone to do it?"
Wang Bao knelt on the ground with a puff: "Your Majesty, when the last time the order was issued, the slave made this suggestion, but Your Majesty did not speak, and the slave thought that His Majesty had agreed, so he arranged for someone to make a game. The minions do this, everything is for Your Majesty, and please atone for Your Majesty."
The emperor snorted angrily: "Hmph, you dog slave, you are getting bolder and bolder, if you go on like this, what else do you dare not do."
"Your Majesty atons for your sins, and the minions will no longer dare."
Wang Bao hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, looking panicked.
But in his heart, he was not worried at all.
He has been with the emperor for more than ten years and knows the emperor's temperament very well.
Just as Wang Bao expected, the royal family scolded him a few times, and then passed lightly.
The emperor originally wanted to use Wang Bao's hand to get rid of Jia Cong and get rid of his threat in advance.
It's just that I didn't expect that Wang Bao was too wasteful.
sent 10,000 people to attack him, but he didn't leave Jia Cong, and he stabbed him to the court, which was a little difficult.
What should I do with this mess?
Jia Cong's side, how to deal with it?
The thought of this question gives me a bit of a headache.
"Go, invite a few cabinet ministers, and then call Li Shangshu from the military department over, and say that I have something to discuss."
"Yes, the minion will go find someone now."
Wang Bao agreed, turned around and walked out of the imperial study.
In his heart, he was overjoyed, his guess was right, the emperor also wanted to deal with Jia Cong, but he didn't want to come openly.
Hum
Jia Cong, if you provoke Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will make you irreversible, you wait for Lao Tzu.
Seeing Wang Bao leave, the emperor also began to think about what to do.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps.
The emperor looked up and saw that it was his queen mother who walked in.
Hurriedly got up with a smile and greeted him: "Queen Mother, why do you have time to come, if you have something, just let someone tell me."
The queen mother waved away the palace maids and eunuchs in the house, and the mother and son were left in the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Jia Cong was ambushed on the way back to Beijing, what is going on, does the emperor know about this?"
The emperor said, "Queen Mother, I only found out about this matter last night, and I am asking people to investigate this matter, but fortunately, Jia Cong did not have an accident, which is also a great luck in misfortune."
The Queen Mother stared into her son's eyes and spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty, did you let you do this? You promised the mourning family to live in harmony with Jia Cong, how long has it been, and you have forgotten?"
was a little hairy by his mother, and the emperor hurriedly spoke.
"Mother, you misunderstood, this really wasn't for me to do, I never gave this order. Maybe it was Jia Cong's enemy who bought off the soldiers in the army, and this is why he set up this murder."
The Queen Mother sighed in her heart, knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, although her son covered it up well, she still saw clues.
Even if it wasn't his order, it was secretly instructed or acquiesced by.
The scene I didn't want to see the most still happened.
When it came to this day, she found that she was powerless to stop it, so she could only watch.
She didn't blame her son, because she knew that as an emperor, maybe that was the most correct thing to do.
But thinking of the ending that Jia Cong was going to face, I felt a little sad for him and unworthy of him.
In the end, it could only turn into a helpless sigh.
"Emperor, you have grown up and are a qualified emperor, and the mourning family hopes that the emperor will do things in the future, think twice before acting, and become a wise monarch."
The emperor smiled and said, "Don't worry, the queen mother, I know what to do."
The Queen Mother sighed and was about to leave.
At this moment, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in.
"Your Majesty, the embroidered guards have come to report, and now in the capital, there is talk everywhere about the ambush and sneak attack of the king of Liaodong. There are many rumors that it was the imperial court that wanted to kill the king of Liaodong, so it sent an army of 10,000 to set up an ambush in advance.
Some people even say that it was an order given by His Majesty, and now that the battle is over, the king of Liaodong is useless, and His Majesty wants to unload the mill and kill the donkey, hide the bow of the bird, and cook the rabbit and the dead dog. In short, the whole capital is talking about it now."
The emperor was furious when he heard this: "Bastard, how can this kind of thing happen."
