Looking at the angry emperor, the Queen Mother shook her head slightly.

You don't have to think about it to know that all this was deliberately spread by Jia Cong.

The emperor wanted to kill him, so he made this matter known to the whole world and let everyone know that he was wronged.

In this way, the emperor will be scolded by the world.

Now that Jia Cong holds military power and stands on the moral high ground, once he has a rebellion, his emperor may not be his opponent.

This is also one of the reasons why she is unwilling to let her son fall out with Jia Cong.

Because he knew Jia Cong, he had no reverence for the royal family at all.

If he really turned his face completely, Jia Cong would have done anything.

"Your Majesty, Jia Cong still has 200,000 troops in his hands, if this matter is not handled well, there is no result to explain to him, once it makes a big fuss, it will not be a good thing for the court, the emperor has to think twice."

The emperor nodded: "Don't worry, the queen mother, I have already asked people to take over the 200,000 army, and there will be no chaos."

The Queen Mother glanced at her son again and left the imperial study.

It seems that his son is determined to deal with Jia Cong, since he can't manage it himself, then he doesn't care, let the two of them fight.

As soon as the Queen Mother left, a group of cabinet ministers came to the imperial study.

"Ministers, see Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live."

The emperor waved his hand: "Everyone, Aiqing, flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The crowd stood up and stood aside.

The emperor spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a lot of rumors outside about Jia Aiqing's ambush, and you must all know about it, how do you think Aiqing should deal with this matter?"

Liu Jin opened his mouth and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, this matter must be motivated by someone who is deliberately creating public opinion and ruining the prestige of the imperial court.

Li Rong said: "Lord Liu, the mouth of the people is better than the defense of Sichuan, if you do this, it will only intensify the contradiction even more and make the matter so big. The most urgent thing at the moment is to appease the king of Liaodong and not let the king of Liaodong have a misunderstanding."

"Didn't you let people take over the army, the king of Liaodong has no military power, and he is nothing, so he can only return to Beijing obediently, what else do you need to explain to him? This official thinks that he should take the opportunity to seize his crown and recover the territory of Liaodong, otherwise it will be difficult to govern when he becomes bigger."

Liu Jin spoke again and made more radical suggestions.

The emperor did not speak, and he was also very in favor of Liu Jin's suggestion.

Since he has already turned his face with Jia Cong, he will simply stop doing it and directly and completely eliminate the hidden dangers.

lest I be worried all day long in the future, worried that Jia Cong will have different intentions.

At this time, Hu Yong spoke: "Your Majesty, this matter is not easy to rush, the king of Liaodong has just made a great contribution, and he can't make everyone feel cold, he still needs to give the king of Liaodong an explanation, which can not only appease the king of Liaodong, but also dispel the rumors outside."

Hu Yong didn't know about this matter beforehand.

To be honest, he doesn't approve of this approach, which is really criticized.

But now that it's happened, he can only find a way to solve the matter.

Li Guanglu also arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, what Shoufu said is right, the king of Liaodong is not at fault, and he has made great contributions to the imperial court, at this time, it is best to appease the main thing and eliminate the misunderstanding between the two sides."

The emperor nodded: "Then according to what the two Aiqing said, Hu Aiqing is responsible for this matter."

Before the words fell, Wang Bao ran in in a panic.

"Your Majesty is not good, the king of Liaodong rebelled and directly led the army to capture Jizhou, and the defenders of Jizhou have been killed."

"This ······"

When everyone heard this, they all showed shock.

didn't expect Jia Cong to use such a drastic method, which was also the last thing they wanted to see.

Because it really started, no one was Jia Cong's opponent.

The emperor stood up directly in shock, with a look of horror on his face.

"How could this be, how dare Jia Cong?"

At this moment, the emperor was a little scared.

He was afraid that Jia Cong would be hot-headed, so he went all the way to the capital and seized his throne.

At this moment, he remembered what the queen mother said to him, let him and Jia Cong live in harmony and not target him easily.

It seems that the queen mother knows Jia Cong better than herself.

He didn't expect that the people sent by Wang Bao would be such a waste.

arranged a nirvana of 10,000 people, but it can actually fail, it's not even as good as waste.

It's just a failure, and someone found out that heel.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do in this situation?"

Hu Yong sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the top priority is to send someone to contact Jia Cong, resolve the misunderstanding with him, reach an understanding, appease his emotions, and let him stop the army and make peace. Otherwise, if he really fights all the way, who is his opponent?"

Although Hu Yong was also in favor of weakening Jia Cong's strength, he did not approve of using such drastic methods.

Last time, Emperor Longqing attacked Jia Cong.

Although I don't know how he escaped, there will definitely be a pimple in his heart.

Now that the barbarians have just been pacified, and they have been ambushed by others, which is unacceptable to no one.

What's more, it's Jia Cong, who has had the experience of being killed once, it's no wonder if he doesn't get mad.

Li Rong also spoke: "What Shoufu said is right, with the combat power of the King of Liaodong and the help of 200,000 troops, we simply have the ability to stop him for long, even if we transfer troops from other places to King Qin, it will be too late, and even if we come, it may not be useful. It's better to appease and resolve conflicts."

Li Rong's mood is actually quite contradictory.

He accepted Jia Cong's entrapment and formed an alliance with Jia Cong.

Now that Jia Cong has the opportunity to stand on his own, if he really succeeds, he will support him, and the benefits he will get will be greater.

Because Jia Cong was born as a military general, he lacked the help of literati around him, which was his biggest advantage.

However, the traditional literati's loyalty to the monarch also made him very resistant to this matter, and he didn't want Jia Cong to take that step.

Li Guanglu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also spoke: "If you want to negotiate peace with Jia Cong and calm his anger, you have to hand over the people behind the scenes and show the sincerity of the imperial court, otherwise you think it's useful to talk in the vernacular?"

Liu Jin frowned: "Wouldn't it be okay to find a substitute for the dead ghost?" Or who do you want to hand it over?"

The main masterminds behind this incident are him and Wang Bao.

He was unwilling to hand him over, and if he handed over Wang Bao, the emperor might not agree.

Although he was a little jealous of Jia Cong and didn't want to see him get better and better, he didn't want to do anything to him.

But if you take someone else's money, it's different.

Collect money to do things, and deal with Jia Cong, there is no concern.

After he received the money, he felt that he was not easy to do alone, and when he heard that Wang Bao and Jia Cong had a holiday, he took the initiative to find Wang Bao again, and the two hit it off and hooked up together.

One is an important minister in the court, the other is a celebrity around the emperor, and a powerful eunuch.

When the two hook up together, what can't they do?

It's a pity that they just failed, and they can only sigh bad luck.

Li Guanglu said: "The king of Liaodong is not a fool, can he find out the people who are guarding Jizhou, can't he find out the people behind them?"

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.

There is only one way to do it at the moment, as long as Jia Cong is willing to reconcile, then everything can be discussed.

Just read the battle report sent, Jizhou's city defense was broken by Jia Cong in an instant.

If you really come to the capital, it will be too late.

Looking at Wang Bao to the side, he felt a little unbearable, this is an old man who has accompanied him for more than ten years, and he is also very reluctant to have his own appetite.

Feel it

The emperor's gaze, Wang Bao was frightened.

Could it be that the emperor really wants to give up himself?

Wang Bao knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, the slave is loyal to Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty not to hand over the slave, the slave still wants to serve Your Majesty."

"Get up, I'll think again."

Everyone discussed it again, and finally decided to send someone to probe Jia Cong's tone first, persuade him, and talk about the conditions.

······

After Jia Cong's army captured Jizhou, the defending generals here were also captured.

After some interrogation, everything was truthfully explained.

It was the eunuchs in the palace who found them and read out His Majesty's edict and asked them to send troops to intercept and kill Jia Cong.

Seeing that it was the eunuch in the palace who came in person, they did not suspect it, and they did not dare to disobey the order, so they led the troops to ambush Jia Cong.

Although they acted on orders, they could not let them go if they participated in the interception and killing themselves.

Otherwise, anyone can come and kill themselves.

All the generals who participated were killed, and all the captives and families were exiled to Liaodong to open up the wasteland.

Leave two thousand people behind and escort them to Liaodong.

Jia Cong took the rest of the army and continued to march towards the capital.

In this attack on Jizhou, Jia Cong sent his 200,000 troops to attack in turn, and all of them participated in the siege battle, and they were completely pulled into their chariots.

Now, even if they drive them away, they won't leave.

Without their own protection, these people would likely be liquidated by the imperial court.

On the contrary, stay under their own hands, and they will only live better.

On the second day of the army's journey, the envoys of the imperial court arrived.

In addition to Li Rong and Li Guanglu, there is also his father-in-law Lin Ruhai.

It is estimated that without Lin Ruhai following, these people would not dare to come to see him.

Jia Cong did not embarrass them and received them personally.

Lin Ruhai frowned, he was caught between the court and Jia Cong, and he was really a little embarrassed.

But what should be asked, still needs to be asked.

"Son-in-law, what the hell are you trying to do here? Yu'er, where are they?"

Jia Cong arched his hand: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law was just ordered to return to Beijing, and the class teacher returned to the court, but the court first deceived me out, and then ambushed me with heavy troops in front of me, more than 10,000 people, this is not leaving me a way to live."

Fortunately, I had a big life, and I led people out of the encirclement, and I ran back to the barracks to find that someone had taken over my army. The defenders of Jizhou are the ones who ambushed me, and since they want to kill me, I naturally won't let them go.

Sister Lin and the others are all staying in the Liaodong Palace, there is no problem with their safety, and my father-in-law does not have to worry."

Hearing Jia Cong say this, Lin Ruhai understood the ins and outs.

looked at the two people next to him and wanted to ask for proof.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, they acquiesced to Jia Cong's words.

In my heart, I also have some complaints about the actions of the imperial court, and I am a little worthless for Jia Cong.

He knew that he was not the main thing this time, and the reason why he let himself come was just their talisman, so he didn't say anything more.

Let them talk about the rest of the matter.

Seeing that Li Rong didn't speak, Li Guanglu spoke.

"Lord Wang, this time, the main thing is the ghost of Wang Bao, the head of the inner house, none of us knew about it beforehand, the prince has made a great contribution to the court, if we knew, we would never let them do that.

The emperor was also very angry when he found out, and he had already punished Wang Bao, let us come over and explain to the prince, and ask the prince to take a break from the wrath of the thunder and stop killing in vain."

Jia Cong sneered: "Lord Shangshu, the Tao in this, you should know very well that this king has fought for the country for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work, and it is really chilling that the court treats this king like this.

As far as this king knows, there are not one or two people in the court who want this king to die.

And the king wondered, where did the king offend them? The masterminds behind this incident must all be dead, otherwise there is no need to talk about it.

You don't have any sincerity at all, you know who the people behind the scenes are, and you don't bring them to this king, so the king himself goes to Beijing and takes off their heads."

Li Rong also spoke: "The prince is angry, how can you say that you are also the prince of the imperial court, you still have to focus on the overall situation, don't cause trouble again, everything else is easy to discuss."

Jia Cong shook his head: "Everyone, I, Jia Cong, can serve the country, I can defend my family and the country regardless of life and death, and I can also be loyal to the emperor, but this does not mean that I can let you kill me, whoever wants to kill me, I will kill whoever I say, it is useless for anyone to say."

Needless to say, this meeting ended in failure.

Jia Cong didn't embarrass them either, and let them go back with their own intentions.

The army continued on its way, and on the third day, it came to the city of Nerves.

Looking at the familiar Shenjing City in front of him, Jia Cong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Before, I never thought of it.

One day, he will also besiege the capital of Shenjing and stand on the opposite side of the imperial court.

At this time, in Shenjing City, the city gate was closed, and the defenders on the city wall were watching the army outside the city with a vigilant face.

It seems that he has received orders from above to close the city gate in advance, afraid that he will really rush into the city.

Jia Cong shouted to the above: "Brothers in the city, I am Jia Cong, I have been ordered to return to the court, please open the city gate and let us in."

The people in the city looked at each other, and for some reason, the above ordered Jia Cong not to enter the city.

The general defending the city sighed and shouted below.

"Lord Wang, it's not that the lower official won't open the door for you, it's really hard to disobey the order, please wait for a while, and the lower official will go to the top to ask for instructions."

Li Biao came to Jia Cong's side and asked, "Dashuai, do you want to attack?" We had enough grenadiers with us."

Jia Cong shook his head: "Don't worry, let the army camp on the spot first, and see what kind of regulations are in the city."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."
