"Second brother!"
"Listen to Xuan Ge'er and resign your post.
Jia She was most aware of the fierceness of the court struggle. If he was not careful, the whole Rongguo Mansion would be in dire straits. He quickly persuaded
"I..."
Jia Zheng was a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Jia Xuan smiled and continued,"I understand~ Uncle Zheng's concerns."
"Zheng Shu participated in the imperial examinations several times, and was taught by famous scholars. Could it be that he was really a stubborn person who could not even be considered a student?"
"Hasn’t Uncle Zheng ever thought about why?"
"Why did the previous emperor ask for this grace that no one else had, and it came down so easily?"
"There has always been a clear distinction between the nobles and the civil servants in the imperial court. How could officials from both the government and the opposition be so easy to talk to?"
""Xuan brother!"
Hearing this, Jia Zheng seemed to have thought of something, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it.
Jia She, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, and Jia Rong on the side acted as listeners, not daring to make a sound.
"It seems that Uncle Zheng understands?"
With a slight smile, Jia Xuan continued:"There are some things that I only learned after taking over Yuntai."
"Uncle Zheng has loved reading since he was young. He took the imperial examination but failed for a long time. This is not because your essay is not good."
"Over the years, I have personally witnessed your essays in the imperial examinations. Although you are not the top scorer, you are above average."
"Not to mention Tongsheng, Xiucai, Jinshi, it's not impossible"
"But all the exam papers over the years have been abolished, this is the key to not being on the list"
"To be precise, not only the Emperor, Prince Yizhong, but also others have taken action."
‘Why?
Jia Zheng's eyes were red, and he did not hide his murderous intent.
He had always thought that he was not educated enough, so he urged his eldest son Jia Zhu to go to school early, which exhausted his energy and led to his early death. However, he did not expect that the truth was that someone had interfered and blocked him from the first step of the imperial examination.
Jia She was not concerned about this, but about the"Yuntai" that Jia Xuan had just mentioned. His pupils shrank sharply. As the eldest son of Jia Daishan, how could he not know the name of Jia's Yuntai? It was the most secretive spy in the country, and it had always been in the hands of the head of the Jia family.
"I think Uncle Zheng and Uncle She both have some doubts about the memorial submitted by our predecessor, Mr. Shan, before his death."
"Let me explain on behalf of the late Daishan."
Swish!!!
At this time, Jia Zheng and Jia She both looked up at Jia Xuan.
At the beginning, before his death, Jia Daishan reported to the emperor to divide Rongguo Mansion into two. The eldest son Jia She inherited the title, and the second son Jia Zheng inherited Rongxi Hall. He also asked for the position of the head of the Ministry of Works for Jia Zheng, which once affected the present of Rongguo Mansion.
Jia She was called the head of the family, but he was actually a laughing stock. With Jia's mother still alive, he dared not make any moves. Everyone in the capital looked down on him.
Therefore, the biggest crux was accumulated in Jia She's heart and had never been resolved. He also had a grudge against Jia Zheng, his younger brother. They had not been in contact for many years and only met at ordinary family dinners.
"In the battle of Yuancong, the Ning and Rong mansions were completely destroyed. This was something that the previous generation of Shan Gong had long anticipated."
"He had also written that memorial early, handed it to the old lady, and submitted it to the palace."
"The coldness of the royal family has been fully demonstrated since the time of Taizu, and it is even worse during the reign of the Emperor Taishang."
"The Jia family was killed in the vast sea. This was also done intentionally by the emperor in order to undermine the influence of the Jia family."
"This is because the emperor was also supported by the Jia family, and even his father joined the prince's army early on and was regarded as a think tank."
"No emperor would allow his existence to depend on his subjects, who even held absolute power that could threaten the imperial rule at any time. This was the original sin of the Jia family."
"In order to protect Rongguo Mansion, Daishan Gong submitted a petition to the emperor to prevent the current situation. In the eyes of outsiders, Rongguo Mansion has changed its position, and in the eyes of the royal family, it is not a threat."
"Uncle She grew up under the care of Duke Daishan. His courage and ability are not inferior to my father. My father is already the crown prince's confidant. How can I let Uncle She continue to serve the crown prince? Can the emperor still sit firmly on the throne?"
"So, Uncle Zheng came to Rongxi Hall"
"My father, as the prince's think tank, suppressed the existence of the Eighth Master's party, so that the current emperor and Prince Yi Zhong could not even show their heads. With such a person in the Jia family, how could Zheng Shu become the second one to go from the army to the court?"
"In the final analysis, it was my father who dragged down Uncle Zheng."
Jia Xuan told all the old stories one by one, shocking everyone present.
""So that's it!"
Jia She's mouth was full of bitterness, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He had misunderstood Jia Daishan for decades, and the truth turned out to be so cruel. In order to preserve Rongguo Mansion, Jia Daishan had to make such a decision.
"Why is this so?"
Jia Zheng's eyes were filled with sorrow.
Over the years, he had been working diligently, treating the emperor as a wise ruler. In the end, he was just a fool.
"Uncle Zheng"
"If the ruler wants his subjects to die, they must die"
"This magnificent scene was not built on morality, but on swords and blood."
Looking at Jia Zheng, Jia Xuan said in a deep voice.
His resounding words were like a giant hammer, breaking the fog that enveloped Jia Zheng's heart, and making him fall into despair.
"Tomorrow, I will submit my resignation."
Jia Zheng said with a depressed look.
For the sake of the Jia family and himself, he could not continue to work as the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Works.
"Uncle Zheng"
"Are you interested in emulating Donglin?"
Jia Xuan made a suggestion
"Huh?"
Jia Zheng, Jia She and the others were all a little stunned. What did it mean?
"Without being an official, it is not impossible to teach a bunch of important officials of the country."
"Why was the Donglin Party so powerful in the pre-Ming Dynasty? It was because the Donglin Academy was so powerful."
"In all dynasties, the local party and the clique were the mainstream of the court power."
"Confucianism flourished in the Qing Dynasty, and the most outstanding one was in the south of the Yangtze River, where there were Donglin Academy, Bailudong Academy, Yuelu Academy, Lize Academy, etc. North of the Yellow River, there were only Yingtianfu Academy and Songyang Academy, both of which were located in Henan."
"There are more than 10 million people in Northern Zhili, and the capital is the most respected place in the country, but there is no influential academy."
"Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a saying that northern students are not as good as southern students."
""Would Uncle Zheng be willing to set a precedent for the country, educate people, and establish the first academy in Northern Zhili?"
Jia Xuan said calmly with a slight smile.
Opening an academy is a good idea. It can train many scholars for the Jia family and win the reputation of the literati for the Jia family.
Of course, in the future, if we want to popularize the martial arts of immortals, the academy will be the best place.
Looking at the Jia family, only Jia Zheng is the most suitable to do this.
"this..."
Jia Zheng's eyes were shining and he was eager to make a move. Could he really educate and educate people?
"I ordered people to buy 5,000 acres of land near Shijingshan, which is more than enough to build a college."
"Rong's daughter-in-law's father was a former engineer in the Ministry of Works, and Zhu's sister-in-law's father was the director of the Jinling Imperial Academy."
"Uncle Zheng can invite them to build Zhulu Academy together."
"How?"
Jia Xuan continued
"Very good."
Hearing this, Jia Zheng swept away his previous depression and became radiant.
Shijingshan is located on the east bank of the Yongding River. As a remnant of the Taihang Mountains, it is known as the"No. 1 Fairy Mountain in Yandu". It preserves a large number of stone carvings of ancient sages, as well as Buddhist and Taoist buildings such as the Sky Temple, Peacock Cave, Benlai Cave, East Tianmen, and South Tianmen. They are built on dangerous cliffs and face precipice, which are spectacular and steep.
The environment for building an academy there is naturally excellent, and there may not be a better place in the whole northern Zhili.
Moreover, Qin Keqing's father Qin Ye and Li Wan's father Li Shouzhong are both close friends of Jia Zheng. The guests that Jia Zheng keeps are at least scholars and juren, and they are more than enough to teach students.
In this way, the framework and construction of Zhulu Academy have been put on the agenda. What else does he have to worry about?
So several people happily discussed the relevant matters in Rongxi Hall, and then they dispersed.............
At 2:00 pm, the sun was setting and the sky was full of red clouds, brilliant and colorful.
In the east courtyard, a figure suddenly appeared. He was wearing black clothes, with blood-red silk thread trimming the sleeves and collar.
"General!"
"Why are you here?"
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Jia Xuan saw Bei Shi, the leader of the Black Guards, and his brows knitted instantly.
Unless it was a particularly important piece of news, Bei Shi would not come in person.
"General!"
"Yuntai Eagle sends a message, changes in the northwest"
"Yulin General Ma Hu was greedy for merit and slaughtered several tribes of Chahar Mongolia, beheading more than 3,000 people."
Bei Shi reported solemnly.
What?
Jia Xuan's face suddenly changed, and his anger rose.
Killing innocent people to claim credit has always been a common thing in border towns, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, when the nine borders were corrupt and the people's desire for change came from this.
���It has only been a few decades since the founding of Dajing, and such things have happened in the border towns. What is more important is that at this critical juncture.
The Later Jin Dynasty has just collapsed, the Khalkha tribe in the northern desert has suffered heavy losses, and the Balin and Khorchin tribes in the eastern desert have surrendered to Dajing. The people of the entire grassland are in panic. The country has not yet fully recovered from the loss of vitality due to this big war. What is more important is that it will take time to manage Liaoxi, Liaodong, Liaonan and other places.
·· ·········Request flowers···· ·········
·· ·········Request flowers···· ·········
If we are not careful, the Mongolian tribes in the east of the desert and the Jurchens in Liaodong will rebel, which will cause the hard-earned victory to be destroyed.
"Ma Hu really deserves to die!"
Jia Xuan said sternly, suppressing his anger.
As the general of Yulin Town and a second-rank military officer of the imperial court, he personally went out to do such a thing, especially when the various Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert were completely incorporated into the Chahar tribe.
Borjigin Burni had more than 500,000 troops and at least 150,000 cavalrymen, watching with eager eyes, and was worried that he could not find a reason to act.
"General!"
"Chahar Taiji Borjigin Buruni personally led 150,000 cavalrymen to the south to attack Yulin, which was in danger."
"Not only that, he also contacted the Junggar and Khoshut tribes, and the Gansu and Ningxia towns were besieged."
"The entire northwest is covered in smoke."
Beiya continued to report.
"Bastard!"
Jia Xuan couldn't hold it anymore. The Khalkha tribe in the south of the desert, the Khoshut tribe in Qinghai and Tibet, and the Junggar tribe in the western regions, joined forces, which far exceeded the crisis brought by the joint efforts of the Later Jin and the Khalkha tribe in the north of the desert.
If we are not careful, the Mongolian cavalry will drive straight in from the northwest, break through Guanzhong and enter the Central Plains. The south of the Yellow River will face the great terror of hundreds of years ago.
And all this is just because of the greed of Ma Hu, the general of Yulin.
"Hasn't the palace received the news yet?"
"My Lord, the Hidden Dragon Guards and the Blood Droplets are already on their way. I think the news will be delivered to the palace tomorrow morning."
............ 0
............ 0
"It's just that Yuntai discovered that this matter is related to Hexi."
Then,
Bei Shi added another sentence that made Jia Xuan's eyes become more sharp:"Are you saying that the Xining County Prince's Mansion was involved in this matter?"
"The main"
"People from the Guard Camp frequently appear in Xining Prefecture"
"The reason why the Khoshut tribe sent troops was because the border troops of Xining Prefecture plundered many Mongolian tribes."
"Good, good job."
Jia Xuan sneered.
Among the five border states of the country, Xining State is the base camp of the Xining County Prince's Mansion. Even the governor of Xining State is from the Xining County Prince's Mansion. Without the permission of the Xining County Prince, how could the Guard Camp be active in Xining State?
Obviously, the Xining County Prince's Mansion has colluded with Prince Yi Zhong, and this is to fish in troubled waters.
"Immediately, Eagle sent a message to Yuntai, keep an eye on Xiningzhou"
"No movement from the Xining County Prince's Mansion should be missed."
"Also, investigate the Yulin Ma family as well."
With a sharp gaze, Jia Xuan gave the order in a deep voice.
"The main"
��Majia...."
Bei Shi hesitated to speak.
The Ma family in the northwest is a famous military family since the pre-Ming Dynasty, especially Ma Gui, who participated in the three major expeditions of the Wanli period and was promoted to the general of Ningxia and the right governor, as famous as Li Chengliang, the general of Liaodong at that time.
There were 83 military generals from Youyu in the pre-Ming Dynasty, and 33 of them were from the Ma family alone. Among the five generations before and after Ma Gui, there were first-rank officials in each generation, namely Ma Quan, Ma Zheng, Ma Lu, Ma Gui, and Ma Chengzong.
After the establishment of the National Dynasty, the Ma family, as a military family in the northwest, was the first to join the Dajing. They served as the generals of Ningxia, Yulin, Guyuan, and Gansu for generations. They can be said to be the sitting tigers in the northwest.
"No matter whether it is the Ma family or the Li family, even if the emperor comes, I will kill him."
With a wave of his hand, Jia Xuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent without any extra fluctuations.
""Yes!"
Bei Shi immediately took the order and left.
That night, a group of Dragon Guards came out from the East Courtyard of Ningguo Mansion and entered the Mansion of Zhenguo Hou, the Mansion of Liguo Bo, and the Mansion of Xiuguo Bo. Niu Jizong, Hou Xiaokang, and Liu Fang summoned the founding nobles as soon as they received the news and unified their opinions...........
Wangfu Street, the closest to the Forbidden City, is located in a vast mansion.
""Jie! Jie! Jie!"
In the cold and dark study, a middle-aged man wearing a four-clawed dragon king costume let out a creepy laugh.
"Prince!"
"Rui Zheng agreed to let us sit back and watch"
"But the Xining County Prince's Mansion's appetite is too big, wanting the entire Hexi area."
The chief secretary of Prince Yizhong's Mansion said
"No problem"
"What is a mere Hexi?"
"As long as I can bring down the fourth brother and ascend to the throne, I will give him the Guanzhong area. So what?"
"You should immediately send a message to Ping An Prefecture and ask the governor of Ping An Prefecture to mobilize the troops and be ready to march south to the capital at any time.
Prince Yi Zhong ordered expressionlessly.
"Yes." The chief secretary of Prince Yizhong's palace turned around and made arrangements.
