The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 190 Escort

On the fifth day after Meng He led the army to leave, Jia Ke returned to Kaiping Town from the northern grassland with his booty, two or three million taels of silver, and a population of 300+.

When Jia Ke came back this time, the whole town of Kaiping was a sensation.When Fan Kang came to greet him with all the civil and military personnel, he was too shocked to speak. He originally thought that Jia Ke would succeed this time.It's just an attack on some small tribes.It would be great to keep the Tatars at bay.Unexpectedly, Jia Ke's harvest was so rich.

Just seeing the fully loaded vehicles in Jia Ke's team, as well as the endless people following in the team, as well as the endless groups of cattle, sheep, and horses, you know that Jia Ke is here. One big win.

Surrounded by everyone in Jia Ke, and welcomed by the people and soldiers in Kaiping Town, they went all the way back to the commander's mansion.

Jia Ge didn't rest immediately after returning to the commander's mansion.Instead, a meeting of all generals in Kaiping Town was held immediately.

In the lobby of the command room, all the generals stood on the left and right, and the eight generals of the Eight Banners also stood on one side of the lobby.The generals who accompanied Jia Ke on the expedition this time made a lot of money, so they naturally talked about it, showing off to their colleagues what they had gained in this expedition.And the infantry generals who didn't go out with Jia Ke next to him all had red eyes with envy.

Jia Ke went back to the inner house first, changed clothes and came back to the lobby. As soon as Jia Ke entered the lobby, the voices of the generals disappeared immediately, and they all stood on both sides with serious faces.

After sitting on the big chair in the middle, Jia Ke said to the people below: "We went north this time, and achieved very good results and achieved the expected goal. The Tatars had to withdraw their troops to deal with us, which eased the burden on the people. The pressure from the other passes on the Nine Borders is an explanation to the imperial court."

Then Jia Ke said: "All that the soldiers who went out this time have to hand over half of what they have seized. The rest belong to the individual."

At this time, Jirigla couldn't help standing up and asking: "Master, we captured a lot of women this time. The young men in the clan are all anxious to marry their wives. They asked me to ask the master, when will these wives get married?" hair?"

When Jia Ke said this, he immediately laughed, "Jirigala is worried about you, I'm afraid you are thinking about your beautiful new wife."

After Jia Ke finished speaking, everyone below burst into laughter.

Jirigla scratched his head in embarrassment, and finally said: "Master, the boys in the clan really asked me to speak. They dare not deceive the master."

Jia Ke didn't make things difficult for him, but turned to Liu Yu next to her and said, "You are more familiar with the Manchu affairs, and the matter of assigning wives to each brother. Let you handle it."

Liu Yu immediately stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Please rest assured, master, I will go to the various tribes tomorrow. I must finish this matter as soon as possible."

After Jia Ke finished giving him instructions, he said to Chen Xi: "You are our big steward, and we have seized quite a lot this time. You should count them and store them in the warehouse immediately, so there will be no loss."

Chen Xi didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately clasped his hands and replied to Jia Ke: "My lord, don't worry, I will immediately organize the staff to complete the inventory of this batch of supplies as soon as possible, and then report to your lord."

Seeing that everyone was fine, Jia Ke announced that the hall was over.But he left Fan Kang behind.

After Jia Ke brought Fan Kang to the study of the commanding envoy's mansion, the host and guest sat down respectively.

Jia Ke mysteriously took out something from her bag, and said to Fan Kang, "Sir, what is this?"

Fan Kang was also a little puzzled by Jia Ke's mysterious appearance.However, he opened the package according to Jia Ke's request, and saw that the package contained an ordinary wooden box.

Fan Kang gave Jia Ke a puzzled look, and Jia Ke didn't say anything, because after he opened the wooden box, Fan Kang opened the wooden box and looked inside, and immediately his face turned pale with shock, although Fan Kang didn't see it. The whole picture of the things in the box, but only by looking at the appearance, nine out of ten are already understood.

Fan Kang took out the contents of the box with trembling hands, and then looked at the bottom carefully, only to see a word engraved on it: life in the sky, that is, longevity.

Fan Kang immediately exclaimed: "Chuan Guo Yuxi!"

Jia Ke watched silently from the side, until Fan Kang gradually calmed down and said: "Sir, I found this in Arslen Khan's big tent, I have seen it, it should be true. Sir, let's see how I deal with this treasure."

Fan Kang had regained his composure at this time, thought carefully, and then said firmly to Jia Ke: "Keeping this thing is not beneficial to the lord, but will make people jealous. Why don't you hand it over to the court for a bright future for the lord?" .”

After listening to Fan Kang's words, Jia Ke had a smile on his face.Fan Kang and others meant exactly the same as his idea. This thing said that he was a treasure, but in fact he was just a dead thing. How could he have a real official position and territory.

"Then I will trouble you to write a memorial for me, and I will send it to the capital immediately with the memorial and the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, so that I can ask for credit and reward for everyone."

Fan Kang did not hesitate, and was immediately in the study.A memorial was drafted for Jia Ke, and in the memorial he pointed out that he raided Arslen Khan twice this time, and by chance, he asked to pass back the Imperial Seal.

After Fan Kang finished writing, he asked Jia Ke to look over it. Jia Ke checked that there was nothing wrong with it, so he stamped his commander's seal on the side, then sealed it in an envelope, sealed it again with ink pad, and sealed it again. On the command envoy's seal.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Jia Ke was going to send someone to send the Chuanguo Yuxi and the memorial to the capital together.This time he was still planning to bypass Jiedushi Wang Tao and write directly to the emperor.

But this time, Jia Ke was already the commander of the third rank, and he was fully qualified to report the memorial to the emperor alone. When Jia Ke was the commander, the control over him became more and more loose.

And Jia Ke not only wanted to send the memorial, but more importantly, escorted the Chuanguo Yuxi to Beijing. Jia Ke still left this matter to Liu Yu, and he was not at ease if it was handed over to others.

And let Liu Yu take all the soldiers with him.But Jia Ke didn't tell them what they were escorting, but just told them that this was a very important treasure to the imperial court, and there must be no mistakes along the way, and the faster the speed, the better.Jia Ke equipped each of them with three horses and asked them to send the treasure to the capital within one day and one night.

After Liu Yu and all the soldiers were ready, Jia Ke called Liu Yu to him, handed him a wooden box wrapped in yellow cloth, and asked again: "This time the matter is important, you have to pay more attention along the way." Be careful. If you meet anyone who dares to stop you, no matter if he is a prince or nobleman or a member of the court, you can kill him without mercy. When you go to the capital, don’t report to the Ministry of War, go directly to Tiananmen Square, and let the guards inside report to the emperor Just say that I, Jia Ke, have a very urgent matter to report to the emperor, and first show my memorial to the emperor. The emperor will definitely summon you at that time, and no one can approach this wooden box before seeing the emperor. It is up to you Escorted the wooden box to the emperor. Do you understand?"

After listening to Jia Ke's words, Liu Yu's heart couldn't help beating.What kind of treasure is it that requires such an arrangement.But Liu Yu didn't hesitate at all, and said decisively to Jia Ke: "My lord, please rest assured, as long as I, Liu Yu, still have a life, I will definitely hand over this wooden box to the emperor.

Jia Ke told him again like an old woman: "This time you will all wear iron armor. Remember that there will be provocations along the way, and you must not be lenient. You have only one task, to overcome all difficulties and hand over this wooden box to the emperor. "

Liu Yu said without any hesitation: "Master, I'm leaving now. Try to deliver the wooden box to the emperor tomorrow morning."

Jia Ke patted Liu Yu's shoulder and said, "Be careful on the road, you have worked hard on this journey. When I come back this time, I will prepare a small village for you outside Kaiping. That is four to five hundred acres of land. "

Liu Yu's face was flushed with excitement. He never thought that he could have a Zhuangzi, even though he was still the son of Jia Ke's family.But these Zhuangzi can be recorded under the name of Jia Ke, the master. In the future, as long as Jia Ke's descendants are loyal, they will not have to pay taxes. This is the glory and wealth of several lifetimes saved for their descendants.

In this way, Liu Yu set off from Kaiping Town with excitement.There were 120 of them on the way, everyone was wearing armor, and three horses galloped in turn.

When people saw them along the way, they hid aside one after another, not daring to approach them half a step.

Liu Yu ran towards the capital day and night, and when he arrived in the capital, the sky was already bright.Liu Yu was about to enter Beijing through Deshengmen, but was stopped by someone as soon as he arrived at the gate of the city. This time, he didn't deliberately find fault.Since 120 of them were wearing iron armor, carrying weapons with them, and each of them was riding a tall horse, if they didn't make it clear and let these people in, the city gate officials might be overwhelmed and walk around.

Seeing someone blocking the way, Liu Yu immediately drew the waist knife from his body.Said to the person: "I was ordered to do urgent military affairs, and I have to go directly to Miyagi to meet the emperor. Since the escort is very important, no one can get close to it. This brother, please get out of the way, or don't blame brother, I You are welcome."

Hearing his words, the city gate officer's heart skipped a beat. He has worked here for so many years, and he has never encountered such a situation.However, he still stepped forward to bow his hands and saluted his duty: "Brother, I see that you are also serving in the army. You should understand the difficulty of my subordinates. If I let you in, I am afraid that it will be a violation of military orders. Why don't you take off your armor and put down your waist knife?" , I will personally accompany you to see our lord. Tell him what you need then."

Liu Yu felt that what this man said was very reasonable, and wanted to agree, but he remembered what Jia Ke said.I must personally hand over the wooden box to the emperor. Now if I agree with his suggestion, I must go to see his lord. If that person asks what is in the box, how should he answer?

So Liu Yu stopped talking nonsense with him, picked up the whip and slapped him hard on the face.At the same time, he shouted loudly: "You dare to intercept me if I want to do urgent military affairs. This is eating a bear's heart and a leopard's courage." So he forcibly led his troops into the city regardless of the city gate officials' blocking.

After entering the city, he knew that there must be trouble in this matter.In response to this, he didn't dare to delay, and led the people straight to Miyagi.

When Liu Yu and the others arrived at Tiananmen Square, it was already heavily guarded.It turned out that the capital had its own method of transmitting messages. When Liu Yu and the others forced their way into the city, all kinds of news had already spread outside the palace.This place is already heavily guarded, and I am afraid that they are rebels or something.

Liu Yu didn't expect that things would become so big. Now that it has reached this point, there is only one way to go to the dark.

Liu Yu said to the soldiers guarding outside the palace wall: "I was ordered by Jia Ke, the commander of Xuanhua and Kaiping towns, to see the emperor on important matters. Let's go in and report quickly, otherwise, if something big happens, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it." .” After speaking, he took out Jia Ke’s memorial from his bosom and handed it forward.
