The eldest son of the red mansion

"Shut up, do you really think that Jia Ke is afraid of you? From my point of view, Jia Ke is teasing you. As long as the time is right, Jia Ke can throw you into hell with a flip of his hand. I'm still dreaming of spring and autumn dreams here."

The emperor is really at a loss now, otherwise he would not have come to the Supreme Emperor to inquire about countermeasures, "Father, you can think of a way for your son, what should you do? Otherwise, our family's splendid country will be defeated by my son." .”

"You still have some self-knowledge. My idea has been given to you long ago, but you have not been obedient." The Supreme Emperor said weakly.

"Father, stop joking. What does our family's country have to do with Jia Yuanchun's birth of a prince?" The emperor didn't take this matter to heart at all, and he didn't think this idea would save his country.

Chapter 373

The Supreme Emperor saw that the emperor was obsessed with obsession, so he decided to have a showdown with him, "Let me tell you the truth. I see the current situation very clearly. Because of my confusion, I mistrusted Jia Ke. Now Jia Ke has The situation is too difficult to govern, if we want to continue to maintain our country, we can only distribute part of the power to Jia Ke, and Jia Yuanchun's prince is the link."

How could the emperor fail to understand the meaning of the Supreme Emperor when he heard this, the Supreme Emperor clearly said that his country may have reached the most dangerous time.

If power can be separated now, Jiangshan can still maintain Jia Ke's appeasement.If he insists on forcing it, I am afraid that Jia Ke will turn the table and start a new stove.At that time, don't talk about Jiangshan, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life.

The emperor was only now afraid. He always thought that he was sure of winning. Although Jia Ke had some power, as long as he gradually weakened, it would take a year or two to bring Jia Ke to the bottom.

But he didn't expect the Supreme Emperor to pour cold water on him, and now he is a little bit sober, these leading generals started collecting taxes in the world at the same time, how can there be such a coincidence in the world.How could they be so united if no one instructed them behind their backs.

The emperor thought that the clothes on his body were drenched with cold sweat, and seeing the emperor's bewildered look, the overlord was even more disappointed in his heart.Although the third prince was a bit smart, he had never received an orthodox imperial education since he was a child.Compared with the imprisoned prince, the difference is too far.

The original prince at least knew how to win over the army, and it was useless to control the army, but now the emperor only knows how to hang out with civil servants.As for Jia Ke's bribery of generals to control the morale of the army, he didn't realize it at all.

But he really wronged the emperor. Jia Ke really didn't do anything to bribe generals. He had a faster and safer way than this.Even if he, the Supreme Emperor, is still in power, I'm afraid he won't be able to notice anything strange.

"Could it just be like this? If this continues, sooner or later, Jia Ke will develop disobedience. Even if Jia Ke read it for Jia Yuanchun's sake, he didn't usurp the throne. Could it be that his heirs can keep their duties like him? ?” The emperor still unconsciously defended his actions.

"If we can appease Jia Ke, we can protect our dynasty for another few decades. If there is a wise emperor in our family during these few decades, there will still be a glimmer of hope. Now is not the time to confront him head-on. He In charge of the military, you control the political power. Isn’t this very good? Why do you have to fight to the death.” The Supreme Emperor was also a little helpless about the emperor’s obsession.

Then the Taishanghuang's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally he closed his eyes and started snoring.The empress dowager next to him saw that the emperor was asleep, so she quickly covered him with a quilt and made the bed.Then he got up and waved to the emperor, and left the bedroom.

When the emperor saw the empress dowager calling, he followed the empress dowager out of the bedroom and came to the main hall of Ningshou Palace.

"I don't know what the Queen Mother is calling for the servants?"

"Emperor, Aijia, let me tell you the truth. I am afraid that the Supreme Emperor will be in these few months. You have to be prepared. No matter what measures you want to take, it is best to finish dealing with Jia Ke within these few months." The Empress Dowager said sadly that the Supreme Emperor had lived with her all these years, and now seeing him aging day by day, and he was about to leave, it would be a lie to say that he was not sad.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I already know. I'll go back and take measures as soon as possible." Although the emperor knew that things were in crisis now and Jia Ke had fully grasped the initiative, he still wanted to give it another go.

And this time, as long as the emperor made a sudden attack on Jia Ke and dealt with Jia Ke first, those under him would have no leader, and he was dividing and conquering, so it is still possible to tide over the difficulties.

Even if there is nothing left to do with Jia Ke, I also left behind. During this time, I have favored Jia Yuanchun frequently. As long as Jia Yuanchun is pregnant and gives birth to a prince, I can keep it even if the country is destroyed. The pulse left a way out.

The empress dowager has been rolling around in the palace for so many years, what kind of person has she never seen?Looking at the emperor's expression, she knew that she did not take the Supreme Emperor's warning to heart.

"Emperor, no matter what you do, Aijia will tell you again here that you must have a child with Jia Yuanchun. This is the last way out. Otherwise, we will have no way out." The empress dowager felt that she could only say Here, after saying this sentence, I will no longer care about the emperor, re-enter the emperor's bedroom, and go to take care of the emperor.

The emperor originally came to Ningshou Palace this time to ask the Supreme Emperor for advice on how to deal with Jia Ke. Unexpectedly, the Supreme Emperor poured cold water on him, and the only way he offered him was to have a child with Jia Yuanchun.

The emperor is very frustrated now, the analysis just now by the Supreme Emperor made him recognize the situation, and at the same time let him know Jia Ke's trump card.

According to the Taishanghuang's analysis, the emperor has no chance of turning the tables.But the emperor didn't believe in this evil, for the sake of his ancestors, he still wanted to fight.

But what the Supreme Emperor said was right, it was also right to leave a way out for himself and Jiangshan.

At this time, Xia Shouzhong, who was standing next to him, asked the emperor, "Long Live Lord, are we now the Hall of Mental Cultivation, or where should we go?"

The emperor thought for a while, and said directly: "Go to Fengzao Palace, where Concubine Yuan is."

Xia Shouzhong heard what the emperor said, and immediately ordered the little eunuch next to him to bring up the sedan chair, and the emperor went straight to Fengzao Palace.

When the emperor came to Phoenix Claw Palace, someone had already notified Jia Yuanchun in advance.And Jia Yingchun is now waiting at the door with the maids and eunuchs.

As soon as the emperor's sedan chair arrived in front of Fengzao Palace, Jia Yuanchun fell to his knees and shouted long live three times.

When the emperor came out of the sedan chair, he saw Jia Yuanchun kneeling on the ground to greet him. He hurriedly stepped forward to help Jia Yuanchun up, and said with a smile on his face, "You don't need to be polite to your concubine."

Jia Yuanchun also stood up with the support of the emperor, and then smiled and said to the emperor: "How can that be done? The royal family has its own royal etiquette. If the concubines don't observe the etiquette, they will be laughed at by others."

The two chatted and laughed at the gate of the palace, and then entered the hall with their arms.

After the emperor entered the hall, he sat down on the main seat in the center, accompanied by Jia Yuanchun.

"Aifei, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are more plump now."

After Jia Yuanchun listened to the emperor's words, his face became flushed. During this period of time, after being taken care of by the imperial physician, his body has improved a lot, and he has eaten a lot more than before, so he doesn't feel plump.

Seeing Jia Yuanchun's face flushed with indescribable charm, the emperor was also a little crazy.As far as Jia Yuanchun's appearance is concerned, it can be ranked among the top twelve beauties in Jinling.

The emperor stretched out his hand to hold Jia Yuanchun in his arms, stroked her face lightly, and then said as if unintentionally: "The beauty of my concubine is rare in the world. I can't leave my concubine for a while. In the future, we will have children. I will make him the crown prince."

When Jia Yuanchun heard what the emperor said, his face was full of joy. Isn't this what she was after?In this way, Jia's family kept their wealth, this dynasty kept the throne, and he could become the empress dowager again. Such a beautiful thing is really the best of all three.

Jia Yuanchun was secretly rejoicing, but he didn't see the gloom in the emperor's eyes.This time the emperor revealed this to Jia Yuanchun, also to appease Jia Yuanchun and the Jia family.Even if he is afraid of his failure, with this promise, he can keep his country.

Besides, Jia Ke's power in the court has risen sharply since Jia Ke demoted several civil servants who were having a lot of trouble to the South China Sea. Some civil servants even moved closer to him and became his subordinates.

Whether these people want to speculate or sincerely seek refuge, Jia Ke will all gather them together.

A few of them are the most important, namely, Zhang Chaoxin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and the censor of the right capital, Tian Hui of the imperial servant Shaoqing, Chen Zuoliang of the Taichang Shaoqing, Peng Bi, the servant of the Ministry of war, and Xie Xiang, the censor of the left deputy capital.

In addition to them, there are many people with low official positions. This time, Jia Ke recruited civil servants not as casually as the previous few times. After some operations, these people's loyalty to Jia Ke has surpassed that of the Allegiance to the Emperor.

The five of them have their own power in the court, so a faction headed by Jia Ke was formed among the civil servants. Although this faction is not too powerful now, because Jia Ke is in it, so it is said that the power is greater. Not small either.

This increased Jia Ke's voice in the court a lot, unlike before when he was a loner. Although he had a high position and authority, he had no one to help him.

On this day, Jia Ke was handling official duties in the Military Aircraft Department, and Jia Ke became more and more tough in the Military Aircraft Department. Many things must be approved by Jia Ke before they can be announced in the world.The ministers of the Military Aircraft Department also resisted several times, but they were all suppressed by Jia Ke with the power of the head minister of the Military Aircraft Department.

It's just that Jia Ke followed the rules. Although he reviewed and approved every policy, he would still send it to the emperor in the end, and then the emperor would approve it and then pass it on to the world.

It was precisely because of this that several other military ministers could tolerate Jia Ke.

The factions of the three military ministers representing the emperor in the Military Aircraft Department have now clearly sensed the expansion of Jia Ke's power among civil servants.

But now they have nothing to do with this situation, and everyone has their own aspirations.They can't force these civil servants to sever ties with Jia Ke.

That day, Jia Ke was working at the military aircraft department, and inadvertently picked up a few memorials sent by Shaanxi, and his brows did not relax. Since the beginning of spring in Shaanxi, it has not rained for more than three months.

Shaanxi's geographical environment is not good in the first place. This time there is no rain in March, and this year's crops may not be harvested.This time the imperial court not only lost a large amount of tax revenue, but also sent disaster relief food and grass to Shaanxi.

Although there are still some silver taels in the treasury, these silver taels have long been arranged for use, and only 100 million taels can be used for disaster relief.This is a drop in the bucket for the drought in Shaanxi and the whole province.

It seems that the imperial court is about to prepare for disaster relief now, and it must not wait until the autumn harvest to make preparations, otherwise it will be too late to raise food and grass, and unpredictable turmoil will occur in Shaanxi.

Chapter 374 Food

After Jia Ke carefully read these memorials, he immediately took out an official document from the side and wrote on it: 100 million dans of grain were purchased from Jiangnan and transported to the capital for later use. .
