After Qiu Shi'an left, Jia Cong returned to the hall, and everyone's eyes changed greatly.

"It is said that you have the eyes of the saint himself, and today you can really understand."

Niu Jizong said with a smile: "A few days ago, I had a drink with Enhou, and he said that you were rewarded by the Holy God and given a gold medal that can enter the palace at any time. ”

Qiu Liang said loudly: "The dignified first-class uncle is so humble, what should I do?" ”

Everyone laughed.

……

The sun is sinking in the west.

The banquet of the two mansions has long been dispersed, but at this moment, in the main hall of Ningguo Mansion, there are still Niu Jizong of Zhenguo Mansion, Liu Fang of Liguo Mansion, Chen Ruiwen of Qi Mansion, Ma Shang of Zhiguo Mansion, Hou Xiaokang of Xiuguo Mansion, Shi Guangzhu of Xiuguo Mansion and others present.

These six people, plus Jia Yu of the Rongguo Mansion and Jia Zhen of the Ningguo Mansion.

It was after the founding of the "Eight Princes" of the Great Qian!

The kind of serious thing.

The rest, such as Xie Kun, the grandson of the Marquis of Dingcheng, Qiu Liang, the grandson of the Marquis of Jingtian, and others, are all the same as Jia Cong, either holding military power or holding high positions.

Like Jia Zheng, he doesn't even have the qualifications to listen, as for the so-called "family" of Rongguo Mansion, it is just a joke in the eyes of everyone!

Everyone sat on the chairs of the Taishi on both sides of the hall and discussed together the direction that dominated the founding of the country.

As for those families that have declined, unless there is a figure like Jia Cong who can lead the family to rise again, there is no chance to participate.

In the past, with the situation of the Jia family, it is difficult to say whether they are qualified to participate in such an important decision, but who made Jia Cong rise now?

There is no shortage of military titles or anything, and naturally he has the qualifications to participate in the meeting.

It is precisely because of this that so many people envy the Jia family.

Envy the Jia family to rise again!

Sitting at the top is Niu Jizong of the Zhenguo Mansion.

Since the abolition of the crown prince back then, the founding family members have almost died, and the only remaining Zhenguo Gong has become everyone's leader.

In addition, Niu Jizong is also the most accomplished one of the current generation of family members, so every time the founding nobles get together, Niu Jizong presides.

"Taking advantage of the opportunity of today's Jia family's banquet guests, we brought everyone together, firstly, to catch up with the past, and secondly, to communicate with each other."

I took a sip of tea.

Niu Jizong continued: "Since the abolition of the crown prince back then, although the old man of the Jia family killed himself afterwards in exchange for the understanding of the palace, the emperor Taishang has not been like before after all......

"Not only that, but over the years, the military power of several of our families has also been taken away by the Emperor Taishang intentionally or unintentionally, and we have to be lined by the newly crowned nobles in the army, and the days are getting more and more difficult."

It was Chen Ruiwen who answered.

Now, although the situation of the Qi State Mansion is a little stronger than the previous Jia family, it is also limited, and the only nephew in the family who can support the beam died under the sword of the Tatars last year, and the vacant position has also been replaced.

As a result, these days are getting harder and harder.

"What happened back then, our family was loyal to the lord, but the rebel army had no eyes, and just poked the unlucky guy of the first prince to death, what can I do?

Besides, when he fought the world back then, if it wasn't for the ancestors of our families to destroy their families and relieve the difficulties, how could he Liu have today? Xie Kun, the grandson of the Marquis of Dingcheng, who was a guerrilla general in Beijing at the time, was indignant.

"Isn't that it?!"

Ma Shang deeply agreed, "If it continues like this, it is estimated that there will be no more than two generations, and many of our families here will be obscure." ”

"Hey......"

Many people sighed.

Seeing that the scene was about to turn into a grievance conference, Niu Jizong hurriedly shouted to stop, and at the same time glared at Xie Kun fiercely, "Be careful!" ”

Suppressed all his follow-up words.

"Okay, today is Jia Cong's knighthood banquet, so don't say these frustrating words!"

Niu Jizong said with a smile: "Besides, since the Holy Lord can give Jia Cong a nine-level jump, it means that the palace's attitude has changed in the affairs of the year, and this is not our chance!" ”

"Opportunity?"

Marchand frowned and repeated.

"Yes, chance!"

Niu Jizong twisted his beard and said with a smile: "The ambitions of those new nobles are not small, and the Emperor Taishang's health in the past two years has often been poor, and his control over them is naturally not as good as before, and some people's careful thinking has also come out......"

Everyone can understand it at one point.

They all laughed and said: "I think it is only now that the palace has slowly discovered that among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, only our founding lineage is a good minister who is truly loyal to the monarch and the country!" ”

The atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.

At this time, Niu Jizong, who was at the top, suddenly changed his words and said: "In addition, the current saint has been on the throne for more than ten years, and he was able to pro-government only last year, and there are not many people under his hands who can be used, isn't it also an opportunity?" ”

"This ......"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Jia Cong glanced at Niu Jizong without a trace, and was also surprised in his heart, there was actually a friendly army here!

Ma Shang hesitated a little and said: "We are all old ministers who followed Emperor Taishang in the past, and now the one in Daming Palace is still there, so he will switch to the new master, isn't it ......?"

"That's a mistake!"

Jia Cong said with a smile: "We have always been loyal and honest ministers who are loyal to the monarch and the country, and our allegiance has always been only to the emperor of Daqian, not a specific one, where does the old lord and the new lord come from?" ”

Hear the words.

A bright light flashed in Niu Jizong's eyes.

also echoed: "This is Lao Cheng's serious words, we are the founding of the country, it is the military meritorious and noble who retired with the country, and naturally we must be the pure ministers who are loyal to the country, whoever is the emperor is our allegiance......"

…………

In the blink of an eye, the moon rises and sets.

When the people who founded the country dispersed one after another, Jia Cong walked all the way back to his small courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door.

Jia Cong saw that Qingwen and Ruyi were leading people to clean up their things, and couldn't help but be stunned, "Why are you picking up things at night?" ”

"The third master is back!"

Qingwen said with a smile, "You just went to the east mansion in the morning, and Sister Mandarin Duck came over and said that the old lady separated the courtyard to the east of Second Master Lian and asked us to move over!" ”

"Then you don't have to pick up things overnight, I don't know, I think I've been wronged here."

"The third master will make fun of us!"

Ruyi came over with a cup of strong tea to relieve hangover, "Anyway, it's idle there, aren't we thinking that we can finish picking up things sooner and move over to live in a big house earlier!" ”

After that, seeing that Jia Cong was already a little confused, he waited for Jia Cong to wash and lie down.

Jia Congyuan wanted to say a few more words, but he felt that his mind was getting more and more dizzy, so he only waved his hand, and let a few maids pack up their things in a hurry, and covered themselves with quilts and fell asleep.

Nothing was said all night.
