"General Jia, the prince invites you in."

Soon after coming to the Zongren Mansion and handing over the name sticker, a small official greeted him.

However, his words immediately alerted Jia Lian, Lord Wang, the only person who can use the word Lord Wang in the Zongren Mansion should be Prince Zhongshun, Zheng Jing.

Taking a deep breath, Jia Lian nodded at the visitor and strode in.

It's not that Jia Lian is timid, it's just that the size of the Jia family is too small now, and it is far from enough for the loyal and obedient king who is in power to the government and the opposition.

"Chen Jia Lian has seen the prince." As soon as he walked into the lobby of the Zongren Mansion, Jia Lian saw a middle-aged man in his forties sitting in the hall with a fair complexion.

If you just look at the appearance, no one can believe that he will be the Great Zheng Clan, Prince Zhongshun.

King Zhongshun looked at Jia Lian in front of him, he was already good at Longyang, and he didn't know how many handsome men he had seen. But it's rare to be handsome to this extent.

"You go to the seal first, and we'll talk when we come back."

Jia Lian didn't know that King Zhongshun didn't want to embarrass Jia Lian, but he didn't dare. Emperor Longzheng had already greeted him, and Jia Lian must inherit the title.

In other words, don't say that Jia Lian has the ability to pass the examination, but he can't pass it, and King Zhongshun actually cheats on him.

Not many people know that this first fierce general of the clan back then was actually already a person of Emperor Longzheng.

Although the current situation in the court is still in the hands of the sick emperor in Jiuhua Palace, it has been roughly divided into three factions.

Emperor Longzheng occupied the righteousness of the Son of Heaven, and after several years of hard work, he had mastered a part of the civil and military officials. Although there are not many of them, they are all elites who are appreciated by the emperor, and all of them are in important positions.

Emperor Longzheng's younger brother, Prince Yiping Zheng Yun was supported by the Empress Dowager Tian, and indirectly received the support of most of the civil officials loyal to the Emperor.

The third part is a bit special. In the Jingning Dynasty of the Holy Ancestor, Emperor Taishang was the eldest son of the Holy Ancestor, but he was not the son-in-law. It was only because there was nothing in the Holy Ancestor Middle Palace at the beginning that the Holy Ancestor Emperor set up the Emperor Taishang as the East Palace.

However, in the eighteenth year of Jingning, Empress Xiaojing, who was already over forty years old, gave birth to the twentieth son of the Holy Ancestor after giving birth to three princesses, that is, Zheng Luan.

When Zheng Luan grew up, it was already the Yongan Dynasty, and the Emperor Taishang canonized Zheng Luan as Prince Yizhong in order to show the righteousness of friendship and brotherhood.

This third faction is the old minister of Jingning who supports this Holy Ancestor Yuanzi, the grandson of Taizu.

As for Wuxun, because Taizu Iron Law Wuxun is not allowed to interfere in politics, the Military Aircraft Department has always been in a neutral state. In other words, they are loyal to the true master of the current empire, the Emperor Taishang of Jiuhua Palace.

But King Zhongshun knew that if Emperor Longzheng wanted to break through in the complicated court situation and truly grasp the power, he must make a breakthrough in Wuxun.

And Jia Lian is the breakthrough.

Not long after, a subordinate official sent Jia Lian's examination results.

Da Zheng Wuxun examination is generally divided into three categories, archery, horsemanship and the art of war.

It's just that with the passage of Shenjing's peace, the examination seal has long been less rigorous. Therefore, only about half an hour later, Jia Lian completed the examination.

"Fifteen out of fifteen in cavalry shooting, fifteen out of fourteen in foot shooting, not bad, boy, I haven't fallen into the prestige of two generations of Rong Guogong." The first to receive the report card was Guo Yun, Marquis of Wuding, the deputy Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion. His father, Guo Xing, the first Marquis of Wuding, was the general of the first Baoling Marquis, and he was also a general of the Rongguo lineage.

So he wanted to speak for Jia Lian, after all, he was in the Zongren Mansion, and he knew very well the attitude of this great sect towards the Jia family.

Unexpectedly, these words angered the Zhongshun King, who was already in a bad mood: "Hmph, what's the use of having good skills, you still have to use your brains to lead the troops." At that time, the six dukes and fourteen marquis of Jingning, in terms of kung fu, Jia Daishan was at the top of the list. But now it's not dead and a pile of stinky meat. ”

The words of the loyal king made the hall quiet. Jia Daishan, the second-generation Rongguo Gong, is a generation of god generals in the Dazheng Army who is comparable to the military god Li Jing. The prestige and military exploits in the army surpassed the founding heroes, and in the twenty-second year of the Jingning Dynasty, six northern expeditions were made to recover the entire grassland. Break through the Hexi Corridor and recover the Western Regions that took advantage of the troubled times over the weekend to become *** again. He also conquered the snowy plateau and completely conquered the territory that had never obeyed the Central Dynasty.

In the end, he died in the war against Russia.

Two generations of Rong Guogong died in the war for the country, and they were the first national honor family personally awarded by Emperor Shengzu. And such an almost perfect commander was insulted by the royal family.

Wu Xun who was present instantly became agitated,

A hint of ridicule flashed in Jia Lian's eyes: "The ancestor of Rongguo has been ordered to go on an expedition since the eighteenth year of Taizu Shunde, and he has not avoided life and death for twenty-three years, and he has sacrificed his liver and courage for Da Zheng. The general's horse leather shroud is what he wishes for in his life.

It's better than some people disobeying orders on the battlefield and taking revenge for the shameless grace saved by the ancestors. is so despicable and shameless, even if he survives, he is just a scumbag. Lord, you say yes. ”

Hearing Jia Lian's taunt, King Zhongshun was instantly furious. However, after quickly noticing the attitude of some of the martial artists around him who served in the Zongren Mansion, he came to his senses.

Although Jia Daishan has been dead for almost twenty years, his name can still make every soldier of Da Zheng awe-inspired. I'm just a little floating.

Moreover, this dynasty has learned the lessons of the previous Zhou Dynasty's contempt for martial arts and connivance with the clan. The control of the clan can be said to be the strictest in all dynasties, and it is good to be a prince. Once it becomes a side branch, I am afraid that eating and waiting for death is the only way out.

This is the case with King Zhongshun himself, Jingning Dynasty, he, the sixth prince, has led troops to fight several times. In terms of military exploits and ability, among the generals of the Holy Ancestor Dynasty, except for Jia Daishan and King Bei Jingcheng, he is not inferior to anyone.

Even so, as soon as the Yong'an Dynasty arrived, he was not immediately relieved of his military duties and sent to the Zongren Mansion.

If he hadn't done his best to contribute to Emperor Longzheng, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to do this great position.

Therefore, if you really want to make trouble in front of the emperor, I am afraid that you may not be able to take advantage of it.

Thinking of this, King Zhongshun suddenly felt a little bored. He waved his hand and said, "That's it, this king won't tell you this, the emperor is still waiting in the palace, you go and thank you." ”

Jia Lian nodded calmly and left. He knew that there was nothing he could do about the loyal king now, but don't bully the young man to be poor.

Jia Lian left the Zongren Mansion with his purple and gold lion lord suit, handed over the clothes and the decree of the lord and the seal of the first general to Qing'er to bring back, while he went to the imperial city in a unicorn suit.

It's finally time to face the saint.
