Chapter 473: The prince can bend and stretch
In the following days, Jia Huan completely broke with Xifu and never went to Xifu to say hello again.
Compile natural science textbooks every day, either to interact with the little girl, or to go to the Grand View Garden to chat with Sister Lin, and live a comfortable and comfortable life.
At this time, above the court, the wind and clouds are changing.
Under the joint efforts of Emperor Taishang and Emperor Chongkang, the court purge began.
The first to move was the military generals, and the 200,000 Jin troops invaded, quietly came to the hinterland of Great Xia, and besieged the capital, bringing extremely bad consequences.
The invasion of the Jin army is inevitably indispensable to the cooperation of military generals from all over the country, otherwise, the Jin army will not be able to invade the hinterland of Great Xia without knowing it.
There is a first time and a second time for this kind of thing.
These generals must move, otherwise if there is a next time, Great Xia may not be so lucky to get through the danger.
However, it is impossible to move them all, and if they take them all, it will inevitably cause turmoil on the border, and even force them to take risks and rebel directly.
Emperor Taishang and Emperor Chongkang's father and son joined forces, first using thunderbolt means to quietly take down several generals.
The movement of troops on the border is still frequent, and in this, I think that the Emperor Taishang and Emperor Chongkang and the border generals have reached some agreements.
And did not cause unrest on the border.
Then the second step, the border general, came to a large-scale transfer.
After this transfer, more than half of the border checkpoints have been replaced with new faces.
After the transfer of military generals, the border was initially stabilized.
Next, the rectification of the Chinese courtiers began.
Almost every day of a month, officials were arrested and imprisoned, demoted, or transferred from their posts.
made the court and the princes in the court, and everyone was in danger.
Almost every three or five days, there are court officials who are exiled from their homes.
The whole capital is not peaceful.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Jia Huan.
It doesn't even have much to do with Jiafu.
After all, in the Jia Mansion, only Jia Zheng is currently an official in the court.
And Jia Zheng, a member of the Ministry of Works, is completely transparent.
He is Jia Huan's father again, and some small actions made by conservative bosses will not take him to play with him at all.
And Jia Zheng is not greedy or occupying, and even when he goes out to study politics, he has to take silver subsidies from his family.
And this time, the two families that are most closely related to the Jia family are the Zhen family.
In this liquidation, the Zhen family was directly raided and destroyed.
Of course, Jia Huan naturally knew that the Zhen family was raided, but it had nothing to do with this court liquidation.
Because even if there is no liquidation this time, the Zhen family will be raided.
Another one who was implicated was the prince of the Wang family, and Wang Ziteng was held accountable by the Ministry of War.
The reason why Wang Ziteng was implicated was not because he was colluded with conservatives.
It's that when the Jin army was pressing, he behaved too badly.
First, there was a big defeat outside the city, and then when defending the city, the city was almost broken by the Jin army.
If Jia Huan hadn't led more than 300 people to burn the grain and grass of the Jin army in time, it is still unknown whether Wang Ziteng could hold the city in the end.
But fortunately, Wang Ziteng's ability is limited, and there is no problem with loyalty, so he is only held accountable.
After being held accountable, Wang Ziteng began to defend himself.
said that the battle outside the city at that time was not incompetent. However, the soldiers of the three major battalions were lax in military discipline, the personnel were not satisfied, the situation of empty salaries was serious, and even the weapons and armor were caused by rust and many other reasons.
As for the city gate was almost broken during the defense of the city, it was not a battle, but it was actually caused by the Jin army's internal ghosts.
The tradition of the three major battalions eating empty salaries has a long history, and it is widely implicated, and the latter few are implicated in most of the nobles.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is not that no one has investigated the issue of empty salaries, but in the end, it has been resolved.
This time, if he is not held accountable, once he fails to defend himself, he is very likely to be dismissed, and Wang Ziteng does not dare to reveal this privacy casually.
After Emperor Chongkang learned that the three battalions had half of the Thai salary, he was furious.
The three battalions are responsible for the important task of defending the Beijing Division, but they are so degenerate, how can such a rabble defend the Beijing Division?
Emperor Chongkang immediately issued an order and ordered the prince to make meritorious contributions and completely rectify the three major battalions.
After receiving the order, Wang Ziteng was both happy and frightened.
Happily, he finally has a glimmer of life, and as long as he completes His Majesty's trust, he will be able to resolve this crisis.
It is not even known how far it will go in the future.
What is frightening is that this mission is not so easy to complete.
The forces behind the three battalions are intertwined.
He has served as the envoy of the Jingying Festival for several years, and he has not been able to completely take the three major battalions for himself.
And now, he wants to completely rectify the three battalions, which is to offend the forces behind the three battalions to death.
If you don't get it right, it will be a disaster.
But now, I can't care about it.
Before rectifying the three major battalions, Wang Ziteng thought about it.
The first step is to clean up the empty salary, and take the opportunity to eliminate the generals of the Yuanping lineage.
The second step is to win over those neutral generals, and then use the vacant generals to win over the generals who founded the country.
And if you want to do the second step of planning, you must take advantage of the situation.
And what he wants to borrow is the momentum of the Jia family.
In the past month, Wang Ziteng has been worried about his future, and he has no time to take care of anything else, and he doesn't know what happened to the Jia family.
Now that the situation is clear, he wants to take advantage of the Jia family, so he cares about the affairs of the Jia family.
Soon Wang Ziteng knew that Rongguo Mansion and Dongfu Huan Ge'er had a falling out, and all of this was provoked by his sister.
It was her stupid sister who, for the sake of her unsuccessful son, begged for Niangniang and asked Niangniang to give Baoyu a marriage.
This move not only disgusted Brother Huan in Dongfu, but also made Niangniang fall out of favor in front of His Majesty.
And his stupid sister also hated the old lady of Jiafu because of this incident.
It is said that the old lady has recently dismissed her from the morning reflection, which made her think about it behind closed doors at home.
After learning about this, Wang Ziteng was almost so angry that he vomited blood.
How stupid is this sister of her own!
If she is really shrewd, she will not be able to get out of the way.
But now that concubine has become the climate, at this time, why don't you go to Huairou to win him over, and then suppress him?
If it is broken up because of the succession of the title and the family property, it is just for a woman.
Why does a husband have no wife?
How stupid is it to get this step of land for the sake of just one woman?
Now if you want to take advantage of the Jia family, you have to work harder.
After a headache for a long time, Wang Ziteng still paid a visit and decided to go to Jiafu in person.
On the second day, Wang Ziteng brought a heavy gift and visited Jiafu.
Jia Zheng personally received Wang Ziteng, and after the two gossiped.
Wang Ziteng couldn't help but say: "Sister-in-law, I don't know if the old lady can be free?" I haven't visited for many days, and I'm about to say hello to the old lady. ”
Jia Zheng said: "Brother wait, I'll send someone to inquire." ”
Jia Zheng sent someone to inquire about Jia's mother.
Jia's mother is old, lazy and lazy, and in recent years, she has rarely seen outsiders, only in the inner house Gaole, teasing her grandson.
However, Wang Ziteng's identity is different, after all, he is the brother of Jia's mother's second daughter-in-law, and he is a real relative.
But now Jia's mother is still angry with Mrs. Wang, and she doesn't want to see the Wang family.
Let's not talk about the fact that the Wang family almost emptied Jiafu, but said that a few years ago, Mrs. Wang Ziteng gave birth, and Jia's mother shirked her physical discomfort and didn't go. Even with Mrs. Wang, it was not easy to pass.
She didn't want to see the Wang family before, and she didn't want to see the Wang family this time.
So it didn't take long for Jia Zheng's scholar to report: "Master Qiyu, the ancestor said that she has been unwell recently and it is inconvenient to see guests, please forgive me Lord Wang." ”
Listening to Jia Mu's words, Wang Ziteng's face couldn't help but change.
From these words, Wang Ziteng heard that Jia Mu was already very dissatisfied with their Wang family.
In the three words of Lord Wang, he no longer treats them as relatives.
If you can't see Jia's mother today and explain the matter, you will definitely not be able to borrow the momentum of the Jia family.
When Wang Ziteng was about to speak, he only heard Jia Zheng say: "Brother-in-law, my mother is unwell, and it is not too late for you to come and visit An another day." ”
"It's rare for my brother-in-law to come to the door once, I have prepared a banquet, and I want to have a drink with my brother-in-law, please!"
Wang Ziteng looked at Jia Zheng with a sincere face, and only felt tired.
This sister-in-law is really an innocent character, and he can't even hear good words.
The prince hurriedly said: "The old lady is not feeling well, and as a nephew, she has to visit one or two." ”
"If you don't go, isn't it the way of relatives? also asked my sister-in-law to personally lead the way for my brother. ”
After that, Wang Ziteng got up and looked at Jia Zheng directly.
For Wang Ziteng, he must see Jia's mother today.
But if he can't break in, it will offend Jiafu even more, so he can only let his good sister-in-law take him there.
And Jia Zheng is still curious, in the past, when Wang Ziteng came to visit, the ancestor didn't see him every time, but most of them didn't see him.
In the past, the ancestors also shirked because they were unwell, I don't know why my brother-in-law had to see the ancestor this time?
However, since his brother-in-law insisted on seeing him, Jia Zheng couldn't shirk it, so he had to get up and take Wang Ziteng to Jia's mother.
Naturally, someone went to Jia's mother to report the news.
After a short time, they came to Rongqing Hall Jia's mother.
Jia Zheng and Wang Ziteng entered the house one after another, and Jia's mother was sitting upright, talking and laughing with her mother-in-law, how could she ever be a little unwell?
The prince hurriedly bowed and said: "The younger generation pays a visit to the old ancestor and respectfully invites the old ancestor to be blessed and safe." Seeing that the ancestor looked good, the younger generation was relieved. ”
Jia Mu looked at the tall and majestic Wang Ziteng, and then looked at Jia Zheng, whose momentum was completely suppressed by Wang Ziteng, and couldn't help sighing in her heart.
His own son is of course good. However, he is loyal and honest, where is the opponent of the cunning and treacherous Wang Jiazi?
After a hundred years, the Jia family is afraid that they will not become vassals of the Wang family.
It was easy for the Jia family to have a unicorn Zihuan brother, and he was made by Mrs. Wang's stupid woman to turn against Rongguo Mansion.
Thinking of this, Jia's mother was in a more and more bad mood, and she said lightly: "The old woman is old, and the juniors in the family are not worried, and they have to let the old woman come out to worry." ”
"The old woman is short of spirits, and she is lazy to meet outsiders. It's hard for you to still miss the old woman, and now the old woman can't die for a while. ”
"Now the old woman is not in good spirits, and it is difficult to greet guests. Zheng'er, you are good at receiving foreign guests on behalf of your wife and son. ”
Jia Zheng said respectfully: "Yes, mother." ”
Next to him, Wang Ziteng heard full of resentment from Jia's mother's mouth.
The juniors in the family are not worried, this is my stupid sister.
I couldn't die for a while, but I was almost angry with my Wang family.
Wang Ziteng sighed, then knelt on the ground and said ashamedly: "Old lady, the sister is invisible, she is confused, and she has caused chaos in your mansion. ”
"As his brother, I really feel guilty, and here, I make amends to the old lady on behalf of my sister. Please also ask the old lady to forgive her for the sake of her youth and confusion. ”
Wang Ziteng said something, and Jia Mu's face was moved.
Of course, I was not moved by Wang Ziteng, but I sighed in my heart that Wang Ziteng's ability to bend and stretch.
Where couldn't Jia Mu guess Wang Ziteng's intention?
The reason why Jia's mother was reluctant to see him was actually that she was unwilling to help Wang Ziteng with the connections of the Jia family.
The more the favor is used, the thinner it gets, if the connections of the Jia family have helped the Wang family, what will their Jia family do in the future?
However, in front of him, Wang Ziteng was able to do this, but it made Jia Mu change her mind.
This son is so able to forbear, even if he can't accept it, he can't offend it.
The left and right Wang families also belong to the four major families, and everyone is on the same vine.
Just help him one more time.
Thinking of this, Jia Mu couldn't help but say, "Zheng'er, don't help your brother-in-law up." To err is human? Who doesn't do something wrong? ”
"The second family married into the Jia family, raised children, respected his in-laws to his superiors, and took care of his family and affairs. But once in a while I do something wrong, where is it?! You're too careful. ”
Hearing Jia's mother's words, Jia Zheng was busy helping the prince up.
Wang Ziteng listened to Jia's mother's words, and couldn't help but be overjoyed!
It's done!
His kneeling finally moved the old lady.
With the help of the Jia family, it will be much easier to rectify the three major battalions.
The prince hurriedly thanked him.
Approved by Jia's mother, Wang Ziteng had a banquet at Jia's house.
Out of Jiafu, Wang Ziteng couldn't help but increase his confidence.
On the second day, Wang Ziteng's action to reorganize the three battalions was in full swing.
The so-called three fires for new officials to take office must be burned to thoroughly establish their prestige.
The first fire, Wang Ziteng decided to burn in the 12th regimental battalion Fenwu battalion.
Zhang Kang, the general of the Fenwu Battalion, usually disobeys his discipline.
When the Jin army was pressing the border that day, Wang Ziteng was ready to take him to sacrifice the flag.
However, at that time, Wang Ziteng learned that the whole army of the three major battalions was like this, and Wang Ziteng was afraid that killing Zhang Kang would cause turmoil in the army, so he did not kill him.
Now that he is free, he is just using this person to make an example of him.
Wang Ziteng still remembers that the Fenwu battalion was full of 10,000 people, and they only had 4,867 people.
The establishment of more than 10,000 people was eaten by him more than half of the empty salary.
Therefore, Wang Ziteng's first battle was to lead his own soldiers and go straight to the Fenwu camp. (End of chapter)
