The eldest son of the red mansion

Jia Ke's black horse took a few steps forward, and shouted towards the top of the city: "Mr. Fan, Jia Ke is back, quickly open the city gate and let me enter the city."

Fan Kang on the top of the city heard Jia Ke's voice, and without hesitation, he immediately ordered the city gate officer next to him, "Open the city gate immediately, it is really Duke Yan who has returned."

The city gate officer got the order, hurried to the city gate and ordered his men to open the city gate.

And Fan Kang also came to the gate of the city at this time, waiting for Jia Ke to enter the city.

Before the gate of the city was opened, Jia Ke asked the generals beside him, "Is there anything Fan Kang can do well during this time?"

The three generals were all confused by Jia Ke's questioning, not knowing what hyperthyroidism meant.

Jia Ke looked at these three people with a ignorant look, and was very angry: "Idiot, Fan Kang has been in charge of the government during this period of time, so he has no ambitions?"

Zheng Kai was startled when he heard Jia Ke's words. He now understood that Jia Ke was not very relieved of Fan Kang.

Zheng Kai replied hastily: "Mr. Fan has nothing to overstep in the capital during this time, except to take charge of the government and share the Lord's worries."

Jia Ke nodded. As for Fan Kang, Jia Ke was still very satisfied with him. Although he couldn't compare with Zhang Liang, he was no different from Xiao He.

Moreover, Fan Kanghan was the first literati to seek refuge with Jia Ke, so Jia Ke finally respected him and did not use any means.

But after a long time, Jia Ke is still a little worried. After all, Fan Kang has too much power this time. If he has any bad intentions, he will have some troubles.

As for why Jia Ke entrusted all important matters to Fan Kang when he left Beijing, instead of bringing Fan Kang by his side to advise.

This is because Jia Ke considered that in the future he must make repeated northern expeditions, or go south to conquer the world. There must also be someone like Fan Kang sitting in the capital. Speaking of which, this time is a test for Fan Kang. Some transgressive places, then Jia Ke will no longer trust him like before.

Fortunately, these people from the three major battalions said that Fan Kang was not bad, which also made Jia Ke feel relieved. After all, Fan Kang and Zheng Kai were different, and they were not controlled by Jia Ke using secret methods.

Jia Ke waited outside for a short time, and saw the Desheng Gate in the capital slam open. Seeing the gate opened, Jia Ke said to the generals: "Enter the city slowly, don't mess up the team."

After Jia Ke gave her orders, she took the lead and rode the fire dragon horse slowly towards the capital.

After thinking it over, Jia Ke followed the team with a smile and approached the gate of Chengjing City.

When Jia Ke approached the city gate, he saw Fan Kang waiting at the gate.

As soon as Jia Ke saw Fan Kang, he dismounted quickly and walked a few steps to his side. When Fan Kang saw Jia Ke approaching, he knelt down first and saluted Jia Ke, "Fan Kang has seen the Lord."

And Jia Ke happened to come over at this time, and quickly supported Fan Kang, "Sir, there is no need to be polite. This time, the matter in the capital is thanks to the arrangement of the husband, otherwise I am afraid I will not be able to leave the capital with peace of mind."

Fan Kang stood up and said with a smile: "My lord, everything is already ready. It is a matter of time before my lord takes power. With or without me, Fan Kang, my lord will be the one in charge of the court."

Jia Ke knew that Fan Kang was telling the truth, but if there was no Fan Kang, he would have to take the hard way. Regardless of whether he ignored it, he might end up infamy.

But the current situation is that the emperor is forced to resist by himself first. Although his reputation is not very good in the end, he has a fig leaf after all.

Fan Kang saw that the gate of the city was not a place to exchange pleasantries, so he suggested to Jia Ke: "My lord, why don't we talk after we go to the yamen of the infantry commander. The gate of the city is not a place to talk."

Jia Ke nodded and said, "It should be exactly like what Mr. Fan said." Then he turned around and said to the three generals: "I'm going into the city by myself, I don't need you here, you should hurry back to the camp outside the city and wait for my orders. .”

Zheng Kai and other Sanyuan generals listened to Jia Ke's order and knew that Jia Ke was safe, so they each left the team with their own soldiers and went back to the camp.

But Jia Ke followed Fan Kang into the capital with [-] cavalry, and then stationed the army at the teaching field near Deshengmen.

Jia Ke arranged things well, and then took Fan Kang back to the Yamen of the Infantry Commander.

When Jia Ke came to the infantry commander's yamen, the place had already been notified in advance, and now it was brightly lit.

Jia Ke returned to the study of the infantry commander's yamen, and after sitting down with Fan Kang, he asked, "When did the Supreme Emperor die? How is the situation in the capital now?"

Fan Kang sat down, cupped his hands and said to Jia Ke: "My lord, the emperor seemed to have received the news of the lord's mutiny yesterday morning. After sending troops to attack the three mansions, he wanted to make up for it. I intercepted it. I think that this alone is not enough for the lord to rule the country, so I took the initiative to lead troops into the palace, forcing the Supreme Emperor and the emperor to add a few more articles to the lord, adding nine tins, praise without name, and entry into the court. Tendency, the sword walks up to the palace."

Jia Ke nodded after listening to Fan Kang's words. Since she was ready to seize power and become a powerful minister, there was no need to hide it.At the same time, I thought in my heart that I never thought that I would one day be Cao Cao.

Fan Kang went on to say: "I didn't know that the news of the death of the Supreme Emperor came out not long after we left the palace. I thought that the Supreme Emperor was not in good health, and after being stimulated by this, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold on."

After Jia Ke heard this, sadness was also on his face. He and the Supreme Emperor were originally good friends, but one was because of his own ambition, and the other was because the emperor was pressing every step of the way, so he reached this point.

"Then how are the arrangements in the capital now?"

"My lord, I have ordered the nine gates to be closed, and no one can enter. At the same time, I ordered the infantry to lead the yamen to patrol the streets. All those with ulterior motives and ghosts will be arrested first, and then dealt with." Fan Kang said his arrangement over again.

Jia Ke thought for a while, and then asked, "Then how will the emperor's funeral be handled?"

Fan Kang shook his head and said: "I haven't entered the palace yet, but I have ordered the Minister of Rites to go to the palace to deal with it. Now that the Imperial Army has sealed off the imperial city, nothing will happen."

Jia Ke nodded. Fan Kang's handling was perfect, "If that's the case, then I'll take a rest, and I'll go to the palace at dawn tomorrow to see the Supreme Emperor on his last journey."

Seeing Jia Ke's return, Fan Kang asked, "If that's the case, then tomorrow we can announce the death of the Supreme Emperor to the world, and then the whole city mourns."

Jia Ke nodded, the next thing is the injury of the Supreme Emperor, after this matter is dealt with, the next thing is to be able to take charge of the government with peace of mind.

Jia Ke didn't go back to the Rongguo Mansion, but found an exquisite guest room in the back house of the Infantry Commander's Yamen, and slept, only waiting to go to the palace in the morning to pay tribute to the Supreme Emperor.

The next morning, Jia Ke finished washing with the help of several maids.Putting on the court uniform, he ordered someone to prepare white clothes for him to cover outside the court robe, and then he left the guest room and came to the front hall of the infantry commander's yamen.

Fan Kang has been waiting for a long time. He is also wearing a white robe now. It seems that he wants someone Jia Ke to enter the palace with him to mourn the Supreme Emperor.

Jia Ke didn't say anything else, just nodded to Fan Kang, and then led the infantry to lead the thousands of soldiers in the yamen to the palace.

When Jia Ke arrived at the gate of the palace, Xiao Kun had already received the news and was waiting for Jia Ke there.

When Xiao Kun saw that Jia Ke was coming with someone, he hurried forward to hold Jia Ke's horse, then cupped his hands and said to Jia Ke, "My lord, you are back. Now we all have a backbone."

Jia Ke sat on the horse and scolded him with a smile: "You are worthless, I'm not here, and you are still dead."

Xiao Kun snorted, rubbed his head, and finally said: "I don't know why, when the lord is around, I don't have any other worries. When the lord is not around, I feel weak in my heart."

Jia Ke teased him a few more times before asking, "How is the situation in the palace?"

"My lord, now everyone in the imperial palace is wearing filial piety. The body of the Supreme Emperor is still parked in the former Qing palace. It can only be put into Zigong after washing on the third day."

Jia Ke nodded and said, "You order people to go in and report, just say that Yan Guogong, the prime minister and general Jia Ke, wants to enter the palace to express condolences to the Supreme Emperor."

Originally, Jia Ke could enter the palace directly without notifying the emperor, but Jia Ke thought that the emperor still had some kindness towards him, so he still wanted to give him the last bit of face.

Xiao Kun listened to Jia Ke's order and immediately ran to the gate of the imperial city himself.

Xiao Kun came to the duty station of the eunuch at the gate of the imperial city. The eunuch on duty at the gate of the city saw Xiao Kun coming, so he hurried out to greet him.

At this time, the news that Jia Ke was about to take over the government had already spread throughout the palace, and Xiao Kun, as Jia Ke's confidant, was too late for these eunuchs to flatter them, so how could they dare to be disrespectful.

Xiao Kun didn't talk nonsense with him either, and directly ordered: "You go in and report to the emperor and the empress dowager, just say that it is the Duke of Yan, the prime minister who leads the military, and Lord Jia wants to enter the palace to express condolences to the empress dowager."

This is too listening to Xiao Kun's words, poking his head to look behind him, feeling a chill in his heart.This living Cao Cao seems to be back.

He didn't dare to be negligent, like poking his head, after looking for no one, he said to Xiao Kun flatteringly: "Don't worry, my lord, I'm just like a report inside, and I will never miss your business."
