Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was three days later.

Dakang ushered in the Lantern Festival of the new year, which can be regarded as bringing a little relief to the capital where the wind and trees are full of soldiers.

The advance troops of Datong arrived ahead of schedule and exchanged military defenses with the soldiers of Xuanfu Town, and the smooth handover of military operations also made Emperor Ming Kangdi gradually relieved.

The ice age of the relationship with Jia Chen is over.

The capital, the champion Hou's mansion.

Jia Chen patted the little girl hanging on herself.

smiled and said: "I want to know what happened next, and listen to the next decomposition~~"

"Brother Chen, it's like this again~~ It's not good, I still have to listen~~"

"Uncle, it's time for the four girls to eat!!"

At this moment, a girl with a little rouge mole on her eyebrows walked in from outside the door, looked at the little girl who was still making trouble, and smiled lightly.

It's strange to say, after Miaoyu visited Xichun, the lawless four girls seemed to be a different person on the second day, well, how to say it? It's like she has changed back all of a sudden, and she has become the fourth lady who loves to laugh and make trouble.

But compared to before, I like to pester my brother more.

"Xiangling, you know how to eat~~"

"Today I made sea bass, eight treasure duck, Dongpo elbow, crystal dumplings ......"

Xiangling broke her hands, with a smile hidden in her eyes, the foodie is not just herself, after a while, Xichun's eyes lit up, she swallowed her saliva, jumped off Jia Chen, and then pulled Xiangling up and ran.

"Eat!! Dine!! ”

It was like a rabbit that saw a dog, and disappeared as soon as it smoked.

Seeing these two little girls like this, Jia Chen couldn't help laughing.

Daming Palace,

Emperor Ming Kangdi looked at the twists and turns sent back by Lin Ruhai in the south of the Yangtze River, and there was a trace of anger brewing in the depths of his eyes, which seemed to have the potential to explode.

There are two familiar names, one is the White Lotus Sect, this hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and it hates the roots of the teeth of several generations of emperors, and the other is the Zhen family, the remnants of the Zhen family in Jinling.

Last time, Jia Chen took the iron horse to plow Jinling, but these people had not been taught a lesson, and they began to make waves again.

And the other party seems to know the current situation in the capital, after Lin Ruhai and a few people went south, even if the Fan family and the Zeng family secretly mobilized a lot of manpower, but it was still in danger, this was bullying the court and unable to divide the troops, and these people were very arrogant.

Of course, these are not what Lin Ruhai said in the recital, but the news that Xu Yuantu came back.

"Dai Quan, when will Datong's follow-up troops arrive??"

Dai Quan has been bowing to the side, and when he heard Emperor Ming Kang's question, he hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, I have already arrived seventy miles outside the city, and it will take two days at the earliest!" After a long time of running, the sergeants are also tired, and no matter how long they go day and night, I am afraid that the sergeants will have complaints in their hearts! ”

When Emperor Ming heard this answer, he didn't seem to be very satisfied, "What's the matter??" Wasn't it eighty miles yesterday?? Today they have only traveled ten miles?? I'm going faster than them!! ”

Hearing this, Dai Quan smiled bitterly in his heart, Ming Kangdi is not talking about backache, who dares to let this master walk, sit on the dragon bowl, even if he walks fifty or sixty miles a day, he can do it, but is that what you walked by yourself? ?

Two days ago, there was a lot of snow in the capital, not only the temperature was low in the past two days, the snow on the road melted, and now it is the time to freeze, the horse can not ride, even if it is led, the horse's hooves have to be wrapped in cloth!

Just want people to travel dozens of miles a day, he is embarrassed to say, you still make an order, let them grow wings, and they can come this afternoon.

However, he is not the master in the end, in the face of Ming Kangdi, he can only analyze the power, and Ming Kangdi also knows the truth, but the current situation is tense and he wants to lose his temper!

"Why don't you let the champion Hou go to Jiangnan again?"

Dai Quan asked tentatively, now the relationship between the emperor and Jia Chen has eased a lot, and the capital has settled down.

Most of the military defenses in the capital have been handed over, and the vanguard of Xuanfu Town has begun to withdraw, and there has been no movement between Zhenguo Gong and Li Guogong.

There was no movement in the Champion Hou Mansion, and as a result, there were no other voices in the court.

Hearing Dai Quan's words, Emperor Ming Kangdi couldn't help but pause with the movements of his hands, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at his henchmen.

"You old dog is not small, even I don't dare to fight that kid's idea, you really dare to say it!!"

When Dai Quan heard this, his old face was full of smiles.

"Your Majesty, Lord Hou has been very idle these days, he picked up his sister from Jiafu, he hasn't been out of the house for a few days, he has lived like a fairy these days, and the old slave is envious when he looks at it!!"

Listening to the envy in Dai Quan's mouth, Emperor Ming Kangdi sighed deeply, he also envied this kind of life, not only during this time, but even during the New Year's rest, he didn't have any leisure.

Just after the Chinese New Year, the capital became a lame Dading, and he couldn't sleep for two days, for fear that if he woke up, people outside would call in.

However, at this time, he really didn't dare to let Jia Chen out.

The host and guest division received the news that the vassal king of Turpan said that he was coming, and that he was coming to meet him.

Now that we have arrived in Datong Town, it is indeed inseparable from people in the capital, to be exact, it is inseparable from the gold-lettered signboard of the champion Hou.

The alien race does not know what benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith are, and the strong they believe in are respected, and a champion Hou is stronger than the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

And Datong's army is in place one after another, and he can also put his mind at ease for Jia Chen, he is confident that even if those big snow dragon riders outside the city really come, he can block it.

"Forget it, you go and call Wu Qiugui, the commander of the Royal Forest Army!!"

Thinking of the information sent back by the secret guard from Jiangnan before, Emperor Ming Kangdi was still quite hesitant in his heart, and listened to Xu Yuantu say that in several counties in Jiangnan, those people knew the champion Hou but did not know the imperial court.

There is also a caravan under Jia Chen's hand, which is very hidden, it was established when he was in Liaodong, the caravan is very large, and every time the north-south trade can bring huge income, no wonder Jia Chen's kid spends a lot of money! So expensive medicated baths can be played.

Jia Chen's prestige in Jiangnan is too high, of course, it is not only a good evaluation, in many places, there is also a name for human slaughter, the land of Jiangnan has been a place where literati have gathered since ancient times, and those places are mostly looked down upon by military and Han people.

Jia Chen's Zhen family, which was defeated in Jiangnan, the most fundamental force managed by the other party is the scholars, the scholars secretly funded by their family, these people are resources, and those people are admitted as officials after passing the imperial examination, so Jia Chen's reputation in some areas of Jiangnan is stinky.

What is said about an anti-king with a rebellious brain, a rebel who supports his own army, and even compares him to a Cao thief, that is, the Cao thief who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

The literati's mouth is very powerful, black can be said to be white, and white can also be said to be black, so Jia Chen's reputation in Jiangnan is polarized, those who were persecuted by the Zhen family, Jia Chen helped them take revenge, they were very grateful, so they sent Jia Chen to set up an ancestral hall, and the other party directly beat Jia Chen into a heinous villain, but the result was that Jia Chen's reputation in Jiangnan was too loud, and even overpowered the reputation of the imperial court.

Recently, it is indeed not suitable for Jia Chen to go out again. With Jia Chen's performance now, he plans to use it again, so he wants Jia Chen to rest for a while during this time.

"By the way, has this kid Jia Chen been to Taihe Palace again recently??"

Then Emperor Ming Kangdi asked about another thing that made him more concerned, Jia Chen contacted the Emperor Taishang in private, and the secret guard had feedback, the Emperor Taishang and Jia Chen seemed to have gone to investigate the Teaching Division, although there was no more information, but he felt that there was something in it.

Dai Quan shook his head and replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, no, the champion Hou has been in the palace for the past two days and has not gone out, but Jia Enhou of the Rongguo Mansion was summoned by the Emperor Taishang and entered the palace twice!" ”

Hearing Dai Quan's words, Emperor Ming Kangdi threw the fold in his hand on the imperial eucalyptus, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the door of the imperial study.

"Jia Enhou ~~ Jia Family ~~ Four Kings and Eight Princes ~~ Emperor Taishang ~~ Champion Hou ~~"

Looking at the door, Ming Kangdi muttered a few names in his mouth, and his expression became more and more ethereal.

Dai Quan's eyes narrowed unnaturally when he heard these names.

Jia Enhou's identity is not simple, at the beginning, it was to follow the companion of the abolished prince, the Jia family is not in decline now, in fact, it is not a decline, among the four kings and eight princes, there are two seats.

A double prince, in its heyday, was comparable to even a prince.

It's just that now because of the involvement of the abolished prince, Jiafu is now considered wasted.

The four kings and eight princes are the noble lineage, is the founding of the country since the remnants of the group forces, most of these people rely on their own merits to do evil, or to make waves, now those who are left behind, is the emperor of the people, is now Ming Kangdi completely in charge of the power of the country is a big resistance.

There are even a few people who secretly plan to support some princes, thinking that the emperor doesn't know! As everyone knows, Ming Kangdi is very clear about these things.

The four kings with different surnames, it's hard to say, except for the King of Beijing in the capital, Shui Rong, the other people don't see anyone all the year round, who these people have the same heart, it's really hard to say, and these people still hold military power in their hands, and there are quite a few people.

Emperor Taishang didn't say much, if he had a good relationship with Emperor Ming Kangdi, it wasn't necessarily, it was a stumbling block for Emperor Ming Kangdi to take power.

If so, these people are all stumbling blocks for Ming Kangdi to completely hold the power of Dakang in his hands, more precisely, Ming Kangdi has made a list, the list is the opponent that needs to be knocked down, the enemy that needs to be eliminated, then the final "champion Hou" is really interesting.

Dai Quan shuddered in his heart, if this is really the case, the mind of the master in front of him is a little ruthless, no, it should be said that it is chilling.
