Ningguo Mansion, East Courtyard.
The afternoon sun was bright, and the clusters of flowers in the courtyard formed a sharp contrast with the green outside.
When Niu Jizong, Hou Xiaokang, Liu Fang and others stepped into it, they were not only surprised by Zhishou's maid, but also by the environment here. There was an indescribable fragrance in the air, which made their pores open, and even the bottleneck of the eighth-grade warriors loosened.
"this...."
Several people showed disbelief in their eyes.
"No, you guys are not going to court, but you are all dressed like grooms, what are you doing?"
When Jia Xuan saw the outfits of Niu Jizong and others, he could not hold back. They were all wearing the same noble clothes, except for Niu Jizong who had a white patch on his chest, while the others all had Qilin patches, brocade crowns and tied hair, looking very majestic.
"hey-hey!"
"We are the only one in the country."
"The titles that the brothers fought bloody battles for in Liaodong, how can we not show them off?"
Niu Jizong said with a proud look on his face.
"Brother Niu is right."
"We should show the Yuan Cong group of idiots how powerful we are as the founders of the country!"
Hou Xiaokang and Liu Fang agreed deeply.
Yue Zhongqi, Nian Gengyao, and Feng Tang beside them also entered the palace for the first time in their lives. As the saying goes, if you don't return to your hometown when you are rich and powerful, it's like walking in the night in brocade clothes. Dukes and earls in the capital are rare, let alone this kind of family business that you have earned yourself.
These are all hereditary titles that will be inherited by the next generation. If you pass the assessment, you will at least be a noble title, not a relative title.
"........."
Jia Xuan was so upset, so speechless
"Nephew"
"You are the only Duke in the world."
"How can I sit at home in my prime years? I should wear a dragon robe and a jade belt and walk on the street."
"Let the people of the capital see our young hero.
Seeing Jia Xuan dressed in plain clothes, with his black hair tied up in a bun with a hairpin, Niu Jizong smacked his lips and said
"Yes, Duke Qin is too low-key."
"For thousands of years, who else could be crowned Duke of a country at a young age but you?"
"Even the former Han champion, Huo Qubing, was not as good as you. No one in the world wants to admire the style of Duke Qin."
Nian Gengyao couldn't help but pat his horse.
"Brother Nian is right!"
Hou Xiaokang, Liu Fang, Feng Tang, and Yue Zhongqi all echoed.
Just kidding, the Guochao has only four kinds of clothes since the Ming Dynasty, and the python clothes are the most luxurious and noble. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell whether it is a python pattern or a dragon pattern, both of which have four claws.
Usually, the python clothes are only given to meritorious civil and military ministers, kings of vassal states, chiefs of tributary states, and tribal leaders.
Since the founding of Dajing, only four kings and eight dukes have received the python clothes. The python clothes of Xianning and Rong are still enshrined in the Jia family ancestral hall.
The nobles of Yuan Cong only got the Qilin clothes, which can't be compared with the python clothes.
The reason why Niu Jizong and others wore the clothes of the nobility and flaunted themselves in the streets was largely because the founding lineage had been bullied by the Yuancong lineage in recent years.
If Jia Xuan stood up, who would question the python clothes and jade belt? He must be the most noble existence in the Guochao, no one else!
"That's all"
"I have never liked these vulgar things, it is good to be quiet."
Jia Xuan shook his head slightly and said calmly.
Seeing this, Niu Jizong and others couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Who can be as brilliant as the young man in front of them!
"Everyone should keep a low profile. Don't make a fuss without a storm.
Suddenly, Jia Xuan's words aroused everyone's vigilance.
"Nephew"
"But is there a change in the capital?"
Niu Jizong asked first. Hou
Xiaokang and others beside him had solemn expressions on their faces.
"No problem. .. "
"It's still early today, and there are some things that need to be sorted out."
"Although my yard is small, it is suitable.
Waving his hand, Jia Xuan indicated
""Yes."
Everyone understood the meaning behind his words. It was simply that the place was very secretive and the conversation would not be known to outsiders.
After all, there were maids with the strength of the third rank guarding outside, Niu Jizong and others were all eighth rank warriors, plus the mysterious Jia Xuan. If there was any movement, they would definitely not escape their eyes.
"Master!"
Nan Qiao asked people to put the prepared tea and snacks on the table one by one, and retreated to the side corner.
Facing the eyes of everyone, Jia Xuan continued:"My uncles came in a hurry. I usually have a simple"
"All the wine and meat were sent over by the restaurant outside, and we sat for a while, drank tea, and chatted about family matters."
"Oh?"
Niu Jizong suddenly became interested and said jokingly,"My dear nephew, you have made quite a move today."
"The Jia family and Rongguo Mansion had dealt with thirty bodies in succession. The prefect of Jingzhao was probably having a headache."
"It is said outside that Duke Qin is rectifying his family traditions and is selfless!"
""Hahaha!"
Hou Xiaokang and others laughed in unison.
Which noble family in the capital didn't know how much fun the Jia family, a family of two dukes, had? They spent their days eating, drinking, playing, walking chickens and fighting dogs, doing nothing serious. From top to bottom, they were full of pleasure and had lost everything.
Just like the governor of the Beijing camp, this was the power held by the Jia family for generations, but they actually gave it to Wang Ziteng, an outsider. It was really ridiculous!
Without the military power, the Jia family was not even a cat, at most a group of fat pigs, and people everywhere wanted to kill them for meat.
"Uncle Niu, please stop teasing me"
"It's just cleaning up those domineering servants."
"After all, I am not from Rongguo Mansion, let alone Ningguo Mansion, so it is not convenient for me to interfere too much."
"Another thing is that it is difficult to reverse the situation. The only way is to break it and then rebuild it. It is better to let them go even crazier."
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Jia Xuan said calmly.
Click!
Hearing this, Niu Jizong and others looked at him in disbelief.
No matter what, the Jia family is still a family clan. Could Jia Xuan really be so cruel?
"The family business established by the two Lords Xianning and Rong has now become dilapidated."
"I opened a martial arts hall in Ningguo Mansion, and every year, one of the twenty branches of the Jia family will be enrolled."
"Some of these people took the military and imperial examinations, some directly joined the frontier army, and some managed family businesses."
"With them, the Jia family has a future. As for the others, they are useless trash. Keeping them here will only waste rice.
Jia Xuan naturally knew what Niu Jizong and the others were thinking, and said indifferently.
""Hiss!!!"
Niu Jizong and others could not help but gasp.
This was not a clean-up of the family, this was simply a new beginning, replacing the old blood with new blood. In this way, the Jia family would naturally be able to have a new spring.
But how to deal with the replaced old blood? Obviously, all of it should be cleared away.
Once such a method was spread, the entire country would be shocked. It was simply horrifying!
"Duke Qin's actions were not just for the Jia family, but were they trying to move the nobles in the palace?"
Nian Gengyao was very proficient in officialdom, and he soon discovered the clues.
‘"Shua!!!"
Suddenly, Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, Hou Xiaokang, Feng Tang, and Yue Zhongqi's eyes lit up.
The emperor's feet are the center of the country, the most prosperous and wealthy place, but it is also full of crises and does not allow for the slightest fluke.
Every year, there is no telling how many officials have their property confiscated and their families exterminated. Even the princes and nobles are also worried.
"Yesterday I bid farewell to you in the palace. Today, the Emperor bestowed upon me the imperial seal of the commander of the Jinyi Army. All the 100,000 Jinyi Army soldiers of Dajing are now in my hands."
"Apart from this, there is no other official position. General Tiance and Duke Qin are just empty titles!"
Playing with the sky-repairing stone in his hand, Jia Xuan said with interest.
""Asshole!"
Niu Jizong blurted out.
Liu Fang, Hou Xiaokang, Feng Tang, Yue Zhongqi, and Nian Gengyao all looked extremely ugly.
The Duke of Qin, the head of the nobles of the dynasty, had the only real job as the commander of the Jinyi Army. It was outrageous!
Who didn't know what the commander of the Jinyi Army was? It was the chief steward who cleaned up the mess in the imperial palace. Wasn't this nonsense?
"Your Majesty is losing his mind. We cannot stand by and watch the chaos."
"Let's go, call everyone together, call all the Yuan clan and civil officials, and go to the Qianqing Palace."
After thinking carefully, Niu Jizong, the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion, was furious and was about to stand up.
Hou Xiaokang, Liu Fang, and Feng Tang beside him stood up at the same time. Although Yue Zhongqi and Nian Gengyao didn't understand why, they had to follow the footsteps of the founding clan.
"Uncle Niu!"
""Be patient."
Jia Xuan said softly, glancing at Niu Jizong.
At this time, Niu Jizong and others suppressed their anger and sat back in their chairs.
Jia Xuan continued:"At the beginning of the founding of the country, Taizu rewarded people according to their merits, and the founding nobles, the four kings, eight dukes and twelve marquises were born."
"The Yuancong Campaign gave birth to the Yuancong nobles, the four marquises and the sixteen earls."
"To this day, the gap between the founding lineage and the Yuancong lineage has turned into a huge one."
"Apart from me, Uncle Niu is a marquis, and then Uncle Liu and Uncle Hou are first-class earls, and then third-class earls. Below that, viscounts and barons are not counted for the time being. This battle brings not only wealth, but also potential threats to the royal family."
"The only people left in Yuan Cong's lineage who were earls were Wu Shifan of Gongcheng Marquis's Mansion, Geng Siyi of Shunyi Marquis's Mansion, and Shang Yanting of Dunhui Marquis's Mansion. There were sixteen viscounts."
"¨」 ¨」 The east wind overwhelms the west wind, which is not a good thing"
"The emperor must be careful about whether the current emperor can sit firmly in his position."
‘So that's it! '
After hearing this, everyone present seemed to understand a little.
The founding nobles almost reaped all the benefits of this battle, while the Yuan Cong nobles got nothing, and the leader Zheng Keshuang was stripped of his title and imprisoned.
In this way, the founding nobles are the most powerful in the court, and it is not impossible to depose the emperor.
With their support, can Emperor Yongping keep his position?
"The reason why I took over the position of commander of the Jinyi Army was precisely because of this."
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Jia Xuan said in a deep voice:"The only way for the royal family to solve this dilemma is to integrate the nobles."
"Let all the nobles be in the same group. This group has a new name, Yongping Nobles."
"Because the battle in the fifth year of Yongping was the opportunity for the nobles to truly rise."
"This is also the reason why Datong Lieutenant General Ben Jinzhong and Xuanfu Lieutenant General Gan Guobao must be conferred titles."
"Nephew, you..."
Hearing this, Niu Jizong hesitated to speak.
Not only him, but also Hou Xiaokang and others were filled with shame.
It can be said that if Jia Xuan had not taken their existence into consideration, how could he become a transparent person?
At this time, they only thought about themselves, and they still wanted to show off in the market. Isn't this pouring salt on Jia Xuan's wounds?
"Since you all recognize me as the first of the founding nobles, then the Duke of Qin and the Jia family have an obligation to help."
"After all, this is not the first time we have been treated like this."
As he spoke, Jia Xuan's mouth curled up slightly and he sneered
""Alas!!!"
Niu Jizong, Hou Xiaokang, Liu Fang, and Feng Tang sighed.
Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi were still somewhat confused, because they were nobles who rose later and did not understand the past.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, Ningguo Duke Jia Yan conquered the north, and Rongguo Mansion Jia Yuan conquered the south. With the merits of the Jia family, there were more than two dukes, and two shoulder-to-shoulder kings. How could they not be as good as the four great county kings?
In the Yuancong battle, the second generation Rongguo Duke Jia Daishan, the former Ningguo Mansion's first-class earl Jia Daihua and more than 200 Jia family members died in the vast sea.
If it were not for the Jia family to contain 500,000 Mongolian cavalry, how could the emperor win the Liaodong victory and bring Liaodong decades of peace.
In the end, Jia Jing and Jia She, who inherited the two mansions, did not even have a viscount, but only a first-class general.
Looking at the thousands of years of Chinese history, which dynasty has had such coldness, and which dynasty has the Jia family as a pillar of the sky!
"The palace has issued an edict, the edict of the Supreme Emperor from the Dragon Head Palace Daming Palace"
"Edict: Since the founding of the country, the nobles have enjoyed all the prosperity in the world, but have not thought about serving the country. Instead, they oppressed the people and bullied the people. I am very sad, so I ordered the clan office to check the nobles' families. Those who have no military merits in their families will be stripped of their titles."
"At present, the clan government has received the order and is investigating it as soon as possible. I am afraid that the action will be taken in the next few days."
Jia Xuan suddenly added something that made everyone present shudder.
Investigating the noble families, those who have no military merits will be stripped of their titles. Isn't this killing the nobles?
Except for the Yuancong nobles and the founding nobles who participated in the Liaodong War, most of the noble families are not drunk and dreaming. Under three generations, no one has practiced martial arts, let alone fighting in battle.
In this way, except for the four kings, eight dukes and twelve marquises, the remaining earl's mansion, viscount's mansion, and baron's mansion must be confiscated.
You know, even these few families can't do anything illegal, not to mention the remaining nobles..
