The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 232 Ye Mausoleum
After Jia Ke ordered someone to send Jia Lian back to his residence, he was at ease.After this leisure time, I feel a little itchy. I haven't been to the Wuyanghou Mansion next to me. Although I can't go in and live in it for the time being, it's good to have a look.

And Jia Ke was fine in the afternoon, so he ordered someone to call Lin Zhixiao, so that he could open the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion, and go in for a visit and see the layout inside.

This mansion has been built for a year or two, but the owner himself has never entered it once, which is too outrageous.

After Lin Zhixiao came, he first called Jia Ke to say hello, and then he asked, "What can I do with you?"

"I haven't been in Wuyanghou's mansion after it was built for so many years. It happened to be fine this afternoon. Now open the door, and I'll go in and have a look."

Lin Zhixiao heard Jia Ke's words, and immediately said to Jia Ke: "Master, there is no need to open the gate. The courtyard next to our mansion is just separated from Wuyanghou's mansion by a wall, so the old lady decided to build a moon gate there, so that the two mansions will be separated from each other in the future." You can communicate with each other without going through the gate, and it can be regarded as a family that has not been separated."

Jia Ke nodded, agreeing with Mother Jia's idea, even if he came to Rongguo Mansion in the future, he would not have to go in and out through the main entrance, which would save a lot of trouble.

So Jia Ke, under the leadership of Lin Zhixiao, entered the Wuyanghou Mansion through a moon gate on the east side of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Ke wandered around the Wuyanghou Mansion all afternoon, and found that the architectural layout of the Wuyanghou Mansion was similar to that of the Rongguo Mansion, obviously exceeding the specifications of the Hou Mansion.It's just that the style of Hou's mansion is still retained in the details, which is obviously the emperor's care for him.This is a house bestowed by the emperor. Although it exceeds the specifications, the censors have nothing to say. If they build it like this, there will be censors to participate in the performance immediately.

The main hall of Wuyanghou Mansion is the name given by the emperor himself, Wuwei Hall.On both sides, there are hall couplets mentioned by the emperor himself: Zhang Chen Xun Gu, policy on public order.

Further back is the backyard of Wuwei Hall, which is regarded as the serious inner courtyard of Wuyanghou Mansion, and it is the place where the wife of Wuyanghou Mansion lives.

Wuyanghou Mansion is already very luxurious as a whole. There are more than 200 large and small rooms. Entering Wuwei Hall from the main entrance, you have to pass through the Yimen, the main hall hall, and the Neiyi Gate, and then you arrive at Wuwei Hall. There are five rooms in Wuwei Hall. It is a big room with wing rooms on both sides.It's just that this scale of buildings is no less than Rongguo Mansion. Besides, there are twenty or thirty small courtyards around, and there is a back garden in the backyard, which contains countless rare and exotic plants.

When Jia Ke came to the back garden, he also met a few gardeners. These people were sent by Jia Mu to take care of the back garden. Otherwise, the flowers and plants would all die, which would be a pity.

Jia Ke went around the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion and felt very satisfied. This mansion is one of the best in the capital.

In the next few days, Jia Ke was either in the military camp outside the city or wandering around the mansion. The imperial court did not send him any errands, nor ordered him to lead the army back to Xuanfu Town.

However, the Rongguo Mansion has been busy these days. This is arranging the marriage for Jia Ke. Jia Ke is nearly twenty years old and has no regular wife. It is really unreasonable.And Qin Keqing is now fifteen or sixteen years old. According to ancient sayings, now is a good time to leave the cabinet.

They feel that nothing is going on here, they don't know that there is an undercurrent in the capital and a conspiracy is going on in the palace.

At this moment in the East Nuan Pavilion, what are the emperor's confidantes discussing?
The emperor and I listened to their discussion from the throne. After listening to their plan, King Beijing frowned and said, "Since the arrangement is made, is there any loophole? I don't think so. Although there are a lot of guards, they don't have any masters. If the enemy sends a general to make a surprise attack, the emperor may be in danger."

The King of Beijing Jing couldn't help but think of the way Jia Ke galloped back and forth among the enemy lines these days, chasing Arslen Khan.

After listening to King Beijing's words, the emperor also felt that this was a problem, so he asked, "What do you think, who should I send as guards?"

King Bei Jing first knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I recommend one person. With this person, even if there are thousands of troops, your Majesty will be safe."

"I don't know who it is? There is such courage."

"Marquis Wuyang, Jia Ke, the Jiedu Envoy of Xuanfu Town, has unstoppable courage. With him by His Majesty's side, even thousands of troops and horses will not be able to harm His Majesty." King Beijing hurriedly recommended Jia Ke to the emperor. A few days ago on the battlefield, he was already shocked by Jia Ke's bravery.Now Jia Ke is no longer able to fight against many people. As long as he is not tired, even thousands of troops can't stop him.

When the emperor heard that he recommended Jia Ke, he couldn't help but smile. He now has a lot of trust in Jia Ke, even if the King of Beijing Jing doesn't recommend him, he will transfer Jia Ke to his side as a personal guard.To be honest, the emperor cared more about his own safety than anyone else.

"Since the king of Beijing Jing recommended Jia Ke, I think this person is still good, then three days later, I will ask the ancestor to sacrifice, and let him follow me as a personal guard." The emperor said with satisfaction.

Everyone knelt down together, saying that they would obey the emperor's order.It's fine for others, but Huo Tu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was holding his hands tightly at this time, looking a little nervous.But everyone paid no attention to him.

So this conspiracy was roughly decided, and it only took three days to see the outcome.This time the emperor made up his mind, but he was helpless. If he didn't do anything, he might become Li Yuan in the end, or even be forced to death.

The next day, when the emperor was in court, Jia Ke came to the court again.There is no big event today, the emperor just announced that three days later, the emperor will lead all civil and military officials to worship at Taizu's mausoleum to comfort Taizu.

None of the civil and military officials objected to this. In ancient times, offering sacrifices to ancestors was a major event. It is understandable for the emperor to do so, and it can even be regarded as the performance of a wise emperor.

Then the emperor ordered that on the day of the sacrificial ceremony, Jia Ke could accompany the emperor to perform the sacrificial ceremony because of the heaviest contribution this time.

Jia Ke knelt down in the center of the hall immediately after hearing the emperor's order, repeatedly expressing his gratitude to the emperor for his kindness.

This is a supreme honor for Jia Ke and the Jia family.Once this happened, even if the emperor was gone in the future, if Jia Ke didn't rebel, the new emperor would have nothing to do with him.

For the next two days, all the officials in the capital were busy with the emperor worshiping Taizu Mausoleum.

And Jia Ke was not idle, he went to the Ministry of Rites every day to receive training from the officials of the Ministry of Rites.During the sacrificial process, what should he do and what should not be done, there can be no slight mistake.This exhausted Jia Ke. Jia Ke felt that it was more tiring than fighting on the battlefield for a day. He was like a wooden man, at the mercy of the opponent.

On the day of offering sacrifices, Jia Ke got up in the middle of the night, put on his helmet, crown, burqa and girdle, raised Fang Tian's painted halberd, rode on the fire dragon horse, and went outside the palace gate, waiting for the emperor's summons.

This was the order that the emperor sent to him on the first day, saying that he was to dress neatly and accompany the emperor to comfort Emperor Taizu, and let Emperor Taizu know that there is such a brave general beside the emperor, and the country will be fine.

To be honest, Jia Ke had a very bad premonition in his heart. The emperor asked him to be fully armed when he went to sacrifice to the mausoleum. This was not going to accompany the sacrifice, but he was clearly asked to guard the emperor.It seems that something big is going to happen this time around the mausoleum.

It wasn't until seven or eight o'clock in the morning that the emperor called him to his side, but this time he didn't take away his Fang Tian painted halberd, and asked him to come directly to the emperor with the weapon.If it had been before, Jia Ke would have been pushed out and beheaded immediately.

And Jia Ke also found that the emperor was different from before, and the clothes on his body seemed to be much thicker.Jia Ke was a battle-tested general, and he could tell at a glance that the emperor was lined with soft armor.And the eunuchs around the emperor were all replaced by Kong Wu's powerful eunuchs, and all of them were wearing armor and holding blades.

At this time, Jia Ke could only hide his doubts in his heart and act as if nothing had happened, but he held Fang Tian's painting halberd and followed the emperor, never leaving a single step.Seeing that Jia Ke was so vigilant, the emperor was very happy. He had a general like Jia Ke around, even if he had thousands of troops, he would not be able to hurt himself.

When the emperor was fully dressed, the empress and all the concubines rode separately. The emperor rode a tall white horse, and Jia Ke rode a fire dragon colt, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, and followed closely beside the emperor.When they came outside the palace gate, all the civil and military officials had been waiting for a long time.

When these people saw the emperor come out, they knelt down and shouted long live three times, waiting for them to get up.But he saw Jia Ke, guards in full military uniform beside the emperor.Many people became dissatisfied. Just now they bowed to the emperor and kowtowed to Jia Ke indirectly.So several censors participated in the performance of Jia Ke on the spot, saying that he violated the rules of etiquette and should not go to the mausoleum in military uniform.

But the emperor ignored them, and directly ordered people to drive these people out. At this time, these officials felt that something was wrong.So they didn't dare to say anything anymore, they could only ride their horses and follow the emperor silently.

The emperor's Luan drove out of Deshengmen to the imperial mausoleum 45 miles outside the capital.At the forefront of the procession is the emperor's imperial guard, while the emperor marches in the middle and rear of the procession, surrounded by many followers of leading horses and imperial guards.This huge royal pilgrimage team started from Deshengmen in the capital city. The grand lineup of ceremonial guards, various chariots and horses, solemn halogen books, guards and servants were mighty and mighty. Among them, the carts dragged by four elephants were on board. There is a canopy-shaped pavilion. This is not the emperor's sleeping tent, but the utensils of the Mausoleum. There are guards on the left and right sides of the cart.This team has been rowing for seven or eight miles, and both sides of the road are full of kneeling people, all of whom have come to see the emperor's sky.

Jia Ke was most worried at this moment, she was really afraid that an assassin would emerge from among the people.So during this period of time, his Fang Tian painting halberd did not let go.At the same time, he observed his surroundings vigilantly, maximizing the general's spiritual sense.

Fortunately, no abnormalities were found, and the team left Deshengmen safely, and Jia Ke relaxed when they reached the official road outside the gate.There are very few people here.

The team of visiting the mausoleum walked for a whole day before arriving at the imperial mausoleum. When they arrived at the imperial mausoleum, it was already sunset. The emperor had to stay outside the imperial mausoleum for a day and began to worship tomorrow morning.

The emperor was not allowed to live in the imperial tomb when he worshiped the imperial tomb. This is not considered disrespectful, and it is also unlucky.Therefore, the emperor built a royal tent and set up a camp five miles outside the imperial mausoleum.Jia Ke's camp was closely next to the emperor's royal tent. On this night, the emperor personally issued an order that no one but Jia Ke should approach his camp, not even the queen and all the concubines.
