Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing

Chapter 44: The Emperor's Heart and Jia Cong's Scheme
"Your Majesty, Jia Cong is young and a foreign minister, so he dare not discuss the affairs of the royal family."

"But Jia Cong thinks that your majesty just said something wrong."

"Oh? My dear, feel free to say whatever you want to say!"

Emperor Shunde showed an interested look.

"I think it is not Your Majesty who should be sleeping restlessly."

"It should be Prince Zhongshun and Prince Yizhong."

Jia Cong said slowly.

"If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live a long and prosperous life."

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can you be abolished with just one word?"

"At the least, the whole world will be shaken; at the worst, the nation will be shaken."

"As long as Your Majesty follows the will of the people, it is only a matter of time before you take power."

"I once saw a saying in a book of miscellaneous notes from the West."

“If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.”

"At this time, do more and make more mistakes, do less and make fewer mistakes."

"You can't go wrong if you don't do it."

"As long as your majesty remains good, someone will be unable to restrain themselves and make mistakes."

……

"The more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make; if you do nothing, you make no mistakes..."

"Hahaha, what a good idea! "

Emperor Shunde murmured a few words, and suddenly his expression was shocked.

The whole mental state of a person is changed.

"My dear, you are right!"

"I am the Son of Heaven, I cannot be abolished by a single word. As long as I am not wrong, someone else will make a mistake."

"I have been worried since last year, and now I understand what you said."

"It turns out that I have already won from the very beginning!"

"After hearing your words today, I was enlightened."

"Your Majesty is just in a state of confusion for the time being. Even if I don't explain, it won't be long before Your Majesty figures it out on his own!"

Jia Cong bowed slightly.

"I originally thought that you were just cultivating a talent unprecedented in history, but I didn't expect that you have a brilliant mind and are full of strategies."

"With such talent, it is a waste to have only an idle title."

"I have seen through what happened today."

"Zhang Tingjun is loyal, but he lacks the ability."

"The White Lotus rebels were able to break into the camp, so it must be because someone in the Beijing camp or even the Dragon Guards was colluding with them."

"Zhang Tingjun was completely unaware of this, and his ability to control his subordinates was definitely lost."

"The Beijing Camp is related to the safety of the capital, it is of great importance!"

"I want you to serve as the commander of the Beijing Camp and reorganize it."

"My dear minister, you have performed a great service in saving the emperor today. There is no reason for my father to refuse."

……

Emperor Shunde took the opportunity to express his intention to summon Jia Cong to the dragon chariot.

Commander of the Beijing Camp

A powerful military general of the second rank, holding a high position and great authority.

It can be said that he is one of the big shots in Shenjing City.

In recent days, various forces in the court have been arguing over this position.

After saying this, he waited expectantly for Jia Cong's reply.

"Your Majesty is so kind to me, Jia Cong is terrified..."

"Only because Jia Cong is young, it's hard for him to convince others."

"Moreover, Jia Cong is devoted to cultivation and has no interest in worldly power."

"I have failed your majesty's kindness, and I hope you will forgive me!"

Just facing this position that countless people dream of.

Jia Cong stood up and refused without even thinking.

"I know this will delay your cultivation, but if there is really no one else available, I would not have thought of summoning you to court."

"In the past, the Beijing Camp was controlled by the Jia family. Today, I will return this power to you, my dear minister."

"Even if the Jia family regains the status of a duke in the future, it won't be a difficult task for you, my dear minister!"

Emperor Shunde was open-hearted and did not hesitate to promise huge benefits.

"I dare not deceive your majesty. It is not that Jia Cong is unwilling to serve your majesty."

"It's really not my intention."

"Gui Gu of the Pre-Qin period, and the various schools of thought."

"Demons, fairies, ghosts, since the day the practice method was born, countless people have come one after another to fight."

"But no matter how brilliant a person is, after a glorious life, he will inevitably turn into dust."

"The immortals and Buddhas are ethereal and immortal without a trace."

"Jia Cong knew that he was dull in talent, but he also wanted to blaze a new trail for the people of the world and those who would come after him."

When Jia Cong spoke, his expression was firm and he was full of vigor and vitality. A sense of otherworldliness and etherealness arose spontaneously.

Emperor Shunde never expected that Jia Cong would have such a "big" ambition.

He even rejected the second-rank position as the commander of the Beijing Camp and the promise of the future title of Duke.

I was speechless for a moment.

Finally, I could only sigh.

"Well, think about it carefully, my dear. I am eager to recruit talented people. If you change your mind, you can enter the palace at any time."

"My dear, you have worked hard in the battle tonight. You can rest on this dragon chariot."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

……

When the sky brightened, the dragon chariot entered the Shenjing City.

Emperor Shunde ordered the eunuchs to convey the order to all the civil and military officials and noble generals who had accompanied him on the autumn hunt to return to their homes to rest.

Jia Cong also got off the dragon chariot.

Such a big thing happened in Xishan, and the news was sent back to Shenjing City in advance last night.

When they returned to Rongguo Mansion, they happened to meet Jia Mu and others who had just entered the mansion.

"Brother Cong, are you okay?"

Daiyu, Sanchun and others were always worried, and when they saw Jia Cong coming back, they hurriedly surrounded him.

"It's alright, just some White Lotus rebels."

"You can't hurt me yet." Jia Cong always behaves gently in front of the sisters in the mansion.

"It's my fault for not informing you last night. You were frightened."

"After a night of hard work, let's go back to the courtyard and rest."

After comforting them, he let the girls go back to the yard to rest.

……

Rikain

"The Emperor's Mind Technique..."

“It turns out that none of those who can reach that position are simple.”

The first thing Jia Cong did after changing clothes and eating was not to rest, but to reflect on his every move during this trip to Xishan alone in the room.

Filling in the gaps.

But the more I taste it, the more interesting it becomes.

The Autumn Hunt in Xishan seems to be a trap set by Emperor Shunde for the people of Shenjing, even at the risk of his own life.

In fact, it was also a purge of the powerful people in Shenjing, or more precisely, of the powerful people who were loyal to the retired emperor.

Many dignitaries were killed or injured last night, and the city of Shenjing will be in mourning.

Many positions in the court were vacant.

But all the hatred was taken away by the White Lotus Sect.

Even if it is for revenge, the powerful people in Shenjing will unite as never before to mobilize their forces to strangle the White Lotus Sect.

The one who benefited in the end was Emperor Shunde.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

As for Jia Cong himself.

Those who claim to be alone and have no power are high and mighty.

You won't trust anyone 100% except yourself.

How could he show his cowardly and fearful side in front of his ministers in the carriage?

Jia Cong didn't believe that Emperor Shunde hadn't figured out the truth that it was not wrong to do nothing.

It's nothing more than an opportunity to test.

Shinto practice cannot be separated from believers.

The best shortcut is to develop with the help of the power of the dynasty.

The importance of the position of commander of the Beijing camp to Jia Cong is unquestionable.

But the more you want it, the less anxious you should be.

This location concerns the safety of Shenjing City.

The person who takes the position must not only be capable, but more importantly, must be loyal to the royal family. But what if it is really impossible to find a suitable person?

From the moment he stepped into Xishan, Jia Cong deliberately showed the side of himself that he wanted to be seen by the royal family.

He is talented but devoted to spiritual practice, wanting to explore the path to immortality.

No interest in rights.

But I have concerns in my heart and value my sisters very much.

Is there a more suitable candidate for the commander of the Beijing camp than this?

The age issue is even simpler.

In this world, strength is ultimately respected.

Strong power can suppress all opposing voices.
