After sending Liu Fang away, Jia Jue sorted out the documents in the study alone, dealing with the backlog of account books, Jia Jue was a little worried, when he learned from Chen Ruiwen's mouth that the emperor agreed to the children of each family to enter the army to serve as military positions, he was wondering if there was an ulterior plan in this, Liu Fang's words made him more sure that the emperor had his own little abacus, but, would it really be as Liu Fang guessed?

If this is the case, then he will have to reconsider his position, at least, to leave a way for himself and the Jia family to retreat.

Such a situation has become unrecognizable, and even the grassland has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the only thing he can rely on is the 30,000 horses of the Ruishi Battalion.

At this moment, a report from the soldiers suddenly came from outside the door, "Uncle, Mr. Zhang is here." ”

"Please come in!"

Jia Jue put down the book in his hand, the door creaked open, and the soldiers pushed Zhang Qianyan and walked in, "Uncle!" ”

"What's the matter, sir?"

"Uncle, the humble position is here for Li Wenzhong's matter."

Zhang Qianyan was originally recuperating, and Jia Jue specially invited an old doctor from other places to massage his legs with acupuncture and moxibustion, so as to ensure that his body was not tormented by illness, but after he learned the news that Liu Fang, the Duke of Liguo, came to visit Jia Jue, he immediately rushed to the scene in a hurry.

"Uncle, you didn't agree to any request from Duke Liguo!"

Jia Jue poured him a bowl of tea and said with a smile: "What is Mr. worried about?" ”

Zhang Qianyan thought about it for a while, but in fact, he had already thought about it, "Uncle, since the emperor proposed to expand the Ruishi camp to 50,000, it shows that the emperor is guarding against his uncle, or rather, the emperor is guarding against all the nobles.

It can be seen from the emperor's methods of cleaning up the Shu Wang Party that he is extremely suspicious today! Extreme suspicion! And leave no room for it! Many officials were wiped out just because they had correspondence with the King of Shu, and why did he leave the second son of the King of Shu in the palace to raise him? Is it just because of the so-called calf licking? That's too much to underestimate him! ”

How do you answer that?

Jia Jue could only be silent, waiting for Zhang Qianyan's next words.

"I'm a very selfish person these days."

Zhang Qianyan said unhurriedly: "It can be seen from his decisive abandonment of the King of Shu, because the King of Shu is a threat to his throne like the one on the grassland. And everything that King Liang has is given by him, as long as he is willing, it is just a matter of one sentence to take it back. ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Jia Jue couldn't refute it, so he could only look at him quietly.

"Uncle has been concentrating on military training for more than a month, and he may not have noticed one thing, the emperor has looted a lot of property by raiding his house, and it has reached millions of taels in Gyeonggi alone, according to the information sent by the scout battalion, it is estimated that it will be three or four million taels, not counting Shandong, Henan and Jiangnan."

Jia Jue closed his eyes, of course he knew about it, and he also knew that the emperor had confiscated a lot of money from Shandong and Henan, according to Dai Quan, it was equivalent to more than 2.7 million taels of silver, and a large number of fields and manors, which is why the emperor wanted to clean up the big family in Suzhou and Hangzhou, which was too rich.

"What should I do, sir?"

Jia Jue slowly opened his eyes.

"It's only been half a month, and the emperor has newly canonized two concubines."

“....”

Jia Jue was taken aback.

Zhang Qianyan smiled, "Although I have been insisting on taking the pill Peiyuan Guben all these years, I can't stand such a toss, plus he stopped taking the medicine again, the world is unpredictable!" ”

Jia Jue somewhat understood what he meant, but still sat there.

Zhang Qianyan slowly swept his gaze out of the window, "The way of heaven has prosperity and decline, the sun and the moon are full and lossy, the rivers have ups and downs, the mountains and rivers have collapsed and fallen, this is the law of everything, the Liu family is no exception, big opportunities must be accompanied by big risks, why should Uncle go to this troubled water!" ”

Jia Jue slowly walked to the window with his hands behind his back, stared at the sky outside, and said for a while: "I disappointed Mr., I can't take Mr.'s suggestion this time." ”

"Why?"

"There are many wise people in this world!"

Jia Jue sighed, "As Mr. said, crisis and opportunity coexist. But you can't always care about gains and losses, people's hearts are often the most important, and the noble line has always advanced and retreated together to help each other. If the Jia family stands by this time, they will be isolated in the future. As for what Mr. just said, maybe it will happen soon, maybe two or three years, or even eight or nine or ten years, who can say for sure! ”

Speaking of this, he paused, "There are two sides to everything, it is human instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, but there is no way to do good or evil, only people take their own trouble." ”

“.....”

Zhang Qianyan was stunned.

Jia Jue slowly withdrew his gaze from the window and turned to look at him, "Sir, what do you think, what will Your Majesty think?" What will the elders think? Also, what will those soldiers under Ben Shuai's command think of me? ”

Zhang Qianyan was shocked, his eyes lit up, but soon they dimmed again.

Jia Jue said very reasonably, but he was narrow-minded, he only saw the back side, and failed to put himself in Jia Jue's shoes, this matter is indeed a blessing and a curse, but on different people, the impact and consequences are different, this matter can only be seen in the long run, not a momentary gain or loss.

Thinking of this, he stared at Jia Jue, "I have a word for my uncle." ”

"What?"

"Only a fine water can flow for a long time."

Jia Jue paced slowly in the room with his hands behind his back, he understood what Zhang Qianyan meant, the cunning rabbit died, the lackeys cooked, if the world was peaceful, the emperor eradicated all the unstable goals, whether it was for his own throne or for the successor monarch, he would shoot at the noble military who held great power.

It seems that Zhang Qianyan has also seen his irritability in the past few days, and he has a lot of evidence in his hands, and he can't make up his mind to make up his mind, and he has the intention to hand over all the evidence to the emperor and eradicate these black sheep, but he is worried that he will attract the emperor's suspicion, so he will fall into an unfavorable situation.

But if they are allowed to jump up and down under their noses and dig up the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, once the situation develops in an unfavorable direction, they will fall into an unfavorable situation unlike the Jia family?

This is a dilemma for him!

Jia Jue sighed, how could he break the game?

He couldn't help but think of Jia Jing's advice to him, 'Don't take everything too seriously, don't do things too desperately, and leave yourself a safe way out.' ’

But hasn't the power struggle always been so cruel and ruthless?

Thinking of this, Jia Jue shook his head with a wry smile.

At this time, Zhang Qianyan spoke, "Perhaps, Your Majesty simply wants to be gracious, but everyone thinks too much." ”

Jia Jue was stunned, there was really such a possibility.

"In the matter of the Qianjin Pavilion, His Majesty favored Li Wenzhong, and in order to appease the anger of the nobles, it is normal for the children of various families to enter the army."

Speaking of this, he thought for a while, and then said: "Uncle should also be careful of Li Wenzhong, this person is now deeply trusted by His Majesty, he has both ability and patience, and the future will be extraordinary!" ”

Jia Jue thought about it for a while, and then said: "I understand, I can't let him bring all the generals from the Imperial Forest Army to his side, but this matter can't be rushed, after all, His Majesty is still watching."

The most important thing now is to find a way to dig out the chess piece that Wu Shichang buried in the Imperial Forest Army, I always feel that something will happen. ”
