The eldest son of the red mansion

Jia Zheng saw that everyone had almost eaten, so he put down his chopsticks, and when everyone saw Jia Zheng put down their chopsticks, they all stopped eating.

Jia Zheng then said to Jia Ke: "You have important things to do tomorrow, so go back and rest first."

Just as Jia Ke got up busy, she bowed to leave, and then Aunt Zhou also got up and went back with Jia Ke.Not long after, Aunt Zhao also left, and Mrs. Wang ordered her maid to send Jia Baoyu and Jia Tanchun back to Jia Mu.

Seeing that everyone had left, Jia Zhu wanted to leave too.But he was stopped by Jia Zheng, "What are your plans? Could it be that you really want to cling to Brother Ke?"

Jia Zheng is becoming more and more dissatisfied with Jia Zhu now. Just now when Jia Ke and the others were there, they gave him some face.

Jia Zhu stood where he was, with a gloomy expression on his face. Although he worked hard to study after the drug was gone, his physical memory could not keep up for some reason.

When Jia Zheng saw his appearance, he became angry for a while, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Forget it, forget it, I am not just your son, someone has already taken care of Guangzong Yaozu's affairs, you just stay at home and be an idler." Flicking his sleeves, he left the main room, looking in the direction of Aunt Zhao's room.

Watching Jia Zheng walk out of the room, Jia Zhu couldn't help crying bitterly.Mrs. Wang was watching, her heart was like a knife. She now regrets why she found such an evil medicine for her son.

"Zhu'er, don't worry, it will be uncomfortable for a while after stopping the medicine, after a while you will recover slowly, you can still be named on the gold list." Mrs. Wang said comforting words that she didn't believe.

Jia Zhu looked at Mrs. Wang with tears all over her face, and asked with a glimmer of hope: "Mother, is it true? Can I really be named on the gold list?"

"Of course it's true. I don't know my son's abilities. You are just delayed by your mother. After a while, the medicine will take effect, and you will be back to normal." Mrs. Wang lied to him with tears in her eyes. The old doctor's words kept echoing in his ears.

After Jia Ke and Aunt Zhou returned to their small courtyard, they sat down in the main room, and the maids brought tea.

Jia Ke still had some doubts, so she asked Aunt Zhou: "Auntie, when did the lady in the east get pregnant? You've heard about it."

Aunt Zhou drank her tea and said nonchalantly: "I didn't hear about it. They thought it was because the old lady was old, so they kept it a little tighter. They didn't expect that it was because of this child that the old lady's life was hurt in the end."

Jia Ke thought about it carefully, and felt more and more wrong. Why does this Jia Xichun look so similar to Qin Keqing?What did the Ningguo Mansion do without telling them?Does Mother Jia know about this?It seems that there is a chance to find out about it from Jia Mu, otherwise if something happens suddenly, it will be troublesome if I am not prepared.

Early the next morning, Jia Ke got up early, dressed neatly, and went to the Ministry of War to deliver orders.I came here in a hurry yesterday, and after another battle, it was getting late when I entered the city.So instead of going to the Ministry of War, you should go to the Ministry of War today, report to the Minister of the Ministry of War, and then dispatch after listening.

Jia Ke came to the Yamen of the Ministry of War with his own soldiers. The servants standing guard outside the yamen saw Jia Ke's demeanor, and hurried forward to ask, "I wonder what the lord is doing at the Ministry of War? If there is something important, I can go in and report it. "

"I am Jia Ke, the Jiedu envoy of Xuanfu Town. I just came to Beijing yesterday for reinforcements. I didn't come to report yesterday because it was late, so I rushed early today. I don't know if Master Shangshu is in the Yamen, so I can go in and give orders. "

While Jia Ke was talking to the yamen servant, a sedan chair carried by four people came by, and came to the entrance of the military department, and a middle-aged official walked out of the sedan chair.At first glance, Jia Ke saw that the person was none other than Huo Tu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

When Huo Tu saw Jia Ke, he immediately walked two steps forward and came to Jia Ke's side, "So it's Jiedu envoy Jia Houye, and I'm going to Huo Tu to greet him here."

After Huo Tu finished speaking, he gave Jia Ke a deep salute, although the rank of Minister of the Ministry of War was similar to that of Jiedushi.But because Jia Ke still has the title of Marquis of Wuyang on him.That's why Huo Tu treated Jia Ke so courteously.

Jia Ke hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Lord Huo, please don't be so polite. I'm just a little lucky to get this title at such a young age. How dare I accept such a big gift from my lord?"

Huo Tu hurriedly stepped forward to help Jia Ke up and said, "What does Lord Jia have to do when he comes to the Ministry of War this time?"

Jia Ke cupped his hands again and said, "I'm here to deliver an order to my lord. The emperor ordered me to arrive at the capital within ten days. It's only been four days since today, and I'm here to give an order to my lord."

Chapter 223

Huo Tu heard that Jia Ke said that he was here to hand over the order, so he let Jia Ke go to the lobby of the Ministry of War, wrote a document and stamped it with the seal of the Ministry of War, and handed it to Jia Ke.

After Jia Ke received it, she carefully put it away in her arms.

After completing the formalities, Huo Tu said to Jia Ke: "Your Majesty Jia can rest at home these few days. After the reinforcements from various ministries arrive, the emperor will appoint a general to lead the army to a decisive battle with the Tatars. At that time, it will be up to Jia The adults have shown their talents."

"I don't have any abilities. It's only because of the hard work of the soldiers that I can make some small achievements. Master Huo, don't praise me." Jia Ke replied humbly.

Huo Tu touched his beard and said to Jia Ke: "Master Jia is too modest, how can I not know if others don't know? Over the past few years, there have been wars with Tatars everywhere at the border. Only Lord Jia guarded Xuanfu Town It is safe and sound, other places have not been breached a lot in a year."

When Jia Ke heard his praise, she hurriedly said a few words of humility, otherwise, she would be considered arrogant.Besides, this person keeps getting close to him, maybe he has something to ask of him.But after all, he is the minister of the Ministry of War, and it may be a big deal to be able to ask him, so he must be careful now, and he must not fall into the shoes of others.

Huo Tu saw Jia Ke's attitude was very good, and then said: "The current emperor is very old, and if you say something disrespectful, the dragon may dominate Bintian at any time. What is Jiahou's plan in the future?"

Jia Ke was a little dazed when he asked him such a question.Jia Ke had never thought about this issue, and now he was thinking of being loyal to the emperor for the time being, and never cared about other things.Unexpectedly, Huo Tu would ask such a question.

Seeing Jia Ke there, Huo Tu didn't know how to answer, so he said persuasively: "The current crown prince is wise and benevolent, why don't Lord Jia visit him? In this way, after the crown prince ascends the throne, Lord Jia can also be successful. "

After hearing what he said, Jia Ke felt a little panicked. What does Huo Tu mean?How dare he so boldly win over the court general.Is it true that being the emperor's spy is blind?Or is it that the emperor has already made arrangements and deliberately arranged for the prince to escape.

How dare Jia Ke express his opinion at this time?He cupped his hands and said to Huo Tu: "Thank you, Mr. Huo, for your kindness. Jia Ke has no other skills, but is just a warrior. In the future, I will only obey the emperor's orders. I will not consider other things."

After hearing Jia Ke's words, Huo Tu was a little displeased, but he didn't say anything excessive.So everyone changed the subject.

After the two chatted for a few more words, Jia Ke left the Ministry of War and returned home to wait quietly.On the way home, Jia Ke's heart was still beating wildly.He had a premonition that something big was going to happen.

When Jia Ke returned home, he put aside the matter with Huo Tu, after all, it was not something he could touch.As long as you hold a heavy army in your hands and wait and see what happens, no matter what happens, you can keep your glory and wealth.

In the next few days, the capital was safe and sound. The Tatars did not come to attack the city, but looted everywhere.And the army of this dynasty was also defending in the city, and did not go out of the city to stop it.

Originally based on Jia Ke's use of troops, at this time, cavalry should be sent out to harass them non-stop, and at worst they should be sent out fierce generals to challenge, and the Tatars must not be allowed to plunder everywhere in peace.It's a pity that he doesn't have the decision-making power in the capital, he can only let the Ministry of War arrange, and then follow the orders.

In the next three to five days, reinforcements from all over the country arrived continuously, and Fan Kang also dared to arrive in the capital with [-] infantry.

At this time, 40 to [-] people had gathered in the capital, and the reinforcements brought by Liaodong Jiedu Shi Xiehu were almost [-] at most.Moreover, these people are all elites. It can be said that he brought all the people who can fight in Liaodong Town.

The emperor praised Xie Hu, the Jiedu envoy of Liaodong Town, for his performance this time.Unexpectedly, he was able to risk all his hard work for the court for so many years.It seems that like Jia Ke, he is also loyal to the court.

Seeing that the army had arrived, the emperor ordered the officials of the third rank and above to go to the Qianqing Palace the next day to discuss the strategy of retreating the enemy.

As Marquis of Wuyang, Jia Ke is of the highest rank, and the Jiedushi of Xuanfu Town is of the first rank, so he came to wait outside the palace early.

Jia Ke didn't ask other people this time. In his impression, it should be like the morning court on TV, so he came to the palace before dawn.His early arrival startled the guards in front of the palace.

So a group of people surrounded Jia Ke in the middle, interrogated carefully, and finally figured out Jia Ke's identity, knowing that Jia Ke was coming to the court, they couldn't laugh or cry, finally after these people explained, Jia Ke knew the joke he made, the emperor went to court It usually starts at eight or nine o'clock.Before dawn, Jia Ke wandered around in front of the palace, no wonder the Imperial Guard wanted to question him.Moreover, the imperial guards had never heard of the early court at all.

Jia Ke had no choice but to wait in front of the palace gate. In the end, it was the eunuch in front of the palace gate. Seeing that he was a first-rank official and Marquis of Wuyang, he let him into the concierge where he was resting, otherwise he would have to wait in the cold. Wait another hour or two in the wind.

Jia Ke was bored in the concierge, so she chatted with the eunuch without saying a word, "I said, brother, how long have you been in this palace just now?"

"I've been in the palace as long as I can remember. My family is poor and can't support the children. Find me a place to eat so I don't starve to death." The eunuch said sadly.

Jia Ke still sympathized with him very much, thinking that if he had not transmigrated to Jia Ke, if he transmigrated to a poor family, the result would not be much better. It's the end of a thousand households.

"My brother doesn't know his last name, we can chat today, and we will take care of each other in the future."

"You are the first rank in the court, I am just a lowly eunuch, how dare I associate with you." The eunuch felt a little inferior.

"Where did the old man say that? If you hadn't let me in to avoid the wind and cold just now, I would still be shivering in the cold wind." Jia Ke felt that he had received a little favor from the eunuch, so he asked his name and repaid it later him.

This too listened to Jia Ke saying this, and then replied: "Before I entered the palace, my family name was Li. After entering the palace, I changed my surname to Zhao according to the rules. The single name has the word Kang."

"Brother, let me ask you something."

"Jia Hou Ye has something to say, as long as I can say it, I must tell the truth."

Jia Ke hesitated for a while before asking shyly, "Brother, haven't you really heard of the morning court?"

After listening to Jia Ke's question, Zhao Kang laughed to himself, "Master Jia may have watched too many dramas. How could the emperor and all the ministers get up in the middle of the night and arrive at the hall at the fifth watch. How can this be the morning court? It’s just torturing people.”
