The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 243 Controlling the Army
After listening to the emperor's instructions, Jia Ke quickly knelt down on the ground to thank the Lord for his kindness.After Jia Ke finished thanking her, she remembered one more thing. This matter must be greeted in advance. Unexpectedly, when the emperor blamed him, he couldn't bear to walk around.

That is the matter of the prince. This time the prince is determined, but how to deal with it in the future, whether to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, or to be imprisoned for the rest of his life, depends on the emperor's will.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how the crown prince should be dealt with for the time being. Should he be sent back to the East Palace or imprisoned in the imperial city?" Jia Ke asked cautiously.

As soon as the emperor heard Jia Ke's question about the prince, his veins were exposed and his face was grim.If there was still a little bit of father-son affection in the past, then now he completely hates the prince. He thinks that his illness is getting worse now, which is entirely the reason of the prince.If it wasn't for his sudden rebellion, which caused him to faint several times, he wouldn't be lying on the hospital bed to deal with state affairs now.

So the emperor said furiously: "What else can I say, this rebellious son? I still want to go back to the East Palace to enjoy the blessings and imprison him in the palace. Only two meals a day are allowed, and no one is allowed to visit." Finally, I thought about it , has been imprisoned in the palace, Jia Ke is not easy to deal with, so he added: "This matter is considered to be Dai Quan."

Dai Quan quickly agreed at the side, he is also eager to eat the prince's flesh now, he almost died.He was shot by an arrow when he broke through the siege a few days ago. Although he missed the point, the danger at that time scared him out of his wits.Although the injury has been bandaged and carefully treated by the imperial physician, it still hurts faintly.I thought in my heart that this time I must serve the prince well, this matter will be in his hands, which is exactly what he wants.

Although he gave away this hot potato, Jia Ke felt that the emperor did not intend to kill the prince.There was still a trace of father-son affection, so he stepped forward to advise and said: "Your Majesty, although the prince rebelled and caused turmoil in the capital, the prince is the eldest son of the emperor after all. Since he has been imprisoned and punished, I ask you to give him some money in life." preferential treatment."

After hearing Jia Ke's words, the emperor immediately felt angry and wanted to express it.But suddenly he thought about it, the empress he passed away entrusted him at the end of his life, and he couldn't help feeling that a cold water directly extinguished all this anger.

It can be said that the relationship between the emperor and the deceased Empress Yuan, who grew up together as childhood sweethearts, is not the same as that of the current empress.And the deceased Empress Yuan was still thinking about the prince before she died, asking him to take care of him all the time, teach him everywhere, and ask him to be considerate of any mistakes in the future.

Thinking of this, the emperor frowned and relaxed, and said to Dai Quan next to him: "Although the prince is banned, he has not been abolished from the position of prince. Even if I abolished his prince, he is also my son. In the future, life must be dealt with leniently, and there must be no negligence."

After listening to the emperor's words, Dai Quan hurriedly smiled beside the emperor and said, "Naturally, after all, the crown prince is also the master of the servant, and the servant watched him grow up. How dare the servant treat the prince poorly?"

After the emperor explained to Dai Quan, he closed his eyes. He was indeed a little tired today.But he thought in his heart that it was Jia Ke's words, no matter what, he was his own son. Although he would imprison him, he still had to arrange for him the basic food and clothing as the emperor's nobles.

At the same time, the emperor's affection for Jia Ke grew stronger. When the prince was at his most glorious, he did not join the prince and was loyal to himself.But when the prince had been imprisoned, he spoke for the prince.In fact, it was just thinking about the father-son relationship between himself and the prince.

The emperor thought for a while, and said to Jia Ke who was still standing aside: "You have time. Go and see the prince on my behalf, and don't let the slaves below do anything excessive to him."

After hearing what the emperor said, Jia Ke hurriedly cupped her hands and said, "I would like to follow the emperor's order, my minister, and I will definitely visit the prince if I have time."

The emperor nodded in relief, and said to Dai Quan beside him, "Give Jia Aiqing a token to enter and exit the palace."

After listening to the emperor's words, Dai Quan carefully exited the palace, and walked in with a wooden box after a while.Then he opened the wooden box and there was a brass token inside, and delivered it to Jia Ke.

Jia Ke thanked the emperor for his gratitude, and then took the token.Did he know that this was the emperor's greatest trust in him.To be honest, he is also somewhat grateful to the emperor now.

So Jia Ke left the palace with the imperial decree bearing the treasure of controlling the six masters, and the token that banned entry and exit from the palace. As for the prince's affairs, he didn't have to worry about it.If you have time, go over and have a look at him, just don't let him be tossed by those servants, other things are not something he can decide.

Jia Ke returned directly to the Infantry Command Yamen with the imperial decree. Jia Ke decided to use this as his office for the time being. After all, this has always been the place where the soldiers and horses of the capital used to issue orders. Now it is reasonable for Jia Ke to work here.

After Jia Ke arrived at the yamen of the infantry commander, he immediately ordered his own soldiers to clear out everyone in the yamen, and then replaced them with the clerks of his own army.

The first thing to do next is to call all the generals near the capital to meet him, announce the emperor's imperial decree to them, and control all the soldiers and horses inside and outside the capital.

When Jia Ke sent his messengers to summon the generals from all walks of life, Jia Ke first called a few of his confidants. These people have followed Jia Ke since Kaipingwei. It can be said that they are devoted to Jia Ke. These people are Zheng Kai, Luo Cen, Xiao Kun, Ma Zuo.

Jia Ke, you first say to Zheng Kai, "You go and control the soldiers of the Liaodong Jiedushi now. Some of them are the elite brought by Xie Hu from Liaodong. As long as you control them, the Liaodong Jiedushi will not be able to escape in the future." Out of our palms."

"Don't worry, general, I'm going now. Within three days, I will subdue the soldiers of Liaodong and wait for your master's dispatch." Zheng Kai immediately assured that this matter is not very difficult. The horse has already surrendered and has no intention of resisting. Second, Jia Ke has the imperial decree of the emperor, and can control all kinds of soldiers and horses in a legitimate manner.

After Jia Ke finished paying Zheng Kai, he said to Luo Cen: "Go and control the 3 horses in the original infantry commanding yamen. If there are not enough people, there are some people in the original infantry commanding yamen who want to make up for it. You can use these people boldly." , I think they dare not do anything wrong again."

Luo Cen was overjoyed when he heard that Jia Ke had asked him to control [-] infantry to lead the army in the Yamen.Now he can be regarded as the leader of the party, and he immediately asked Jia Ke to express his opinion: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely take care of these people for my lord, and I will be at your disposal at any time."

The next step is the Forbidden Army. Jia Ke handed this matter over to Xiao Kun. This person is not as clever as the others, nor has any special skills, and his ability to lead the army is also mediocre. Jia Ke obeyed what he said, and he didn't have any bad habits, so some things were left to Jia Ke to rest assured.

So this time the task of rectifying the Forbidden Army was entrusted to him. Unlike other rebels, the Forbidden Army was not considered a rebellion this time. It was just that King Beijing, who was in charge of the Forbidden Army, was suddenly killed and was controlled by the Minister of War Huo Tu.But even so, he did not contribute a little in the subsequent wars.When compared to other armies, it is easier to control, and it is the simplest of them.

Next, Jia Ke asked Ma Zuo, "Are the Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion peaceful now? Are there any rebels coming to make trouble?"

Ma Zuo was sent by Jia Ke to protect the Rongning Second Mansion as soon as he entered the city, so Jia Ke asked this question.

"Please rest assured, my lord. After I brought my troops to the Rongning Second Mansion, it was relatively peaceful and there were no rioting soldiers. The crown prince did not take any measures against Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion. They have been protected by the soldiers now. The master of Rongguo Mansion, still Invite us sergeants to drink." Ma Zuo replied respectfully.

When Jia Ke heard that Rongguo Mansion was fine, he felt relieved. In fact, he was mainly worried about Rongguo Mansion, and as for Ningguo Mansion, it was just incidental.

"Okay, you did a good job in this matter. I will give you an errand to show your face. It is a reward for you. You go to our camp to order [-] soldiers to replace the imperial army to protect the imperial city, so that you can show your face in front of the emperor." Satisfied, Jia Ke gave him a little sweet.

When Ma Zuo heard that he was asked to protect the imperial city, he was able to show some face in front of the emperor, but he didn't show much joy. Ma Zuo is a bit stubborn, and now he considers himself Jia Ke's courtier.I didn't expect much to show my face in front of the emperor.Now Mazuo's state is like a sentence in Europe: my vassal's vassal, not my vassal.It sounds awkward, but it is Mazuo's inner thoughts. He only regards this as a task now, and does not think it is a reward.

Jia Ke is very satisfied with his attitude. Such a talent is worthy of his promotion. Of course, his confidants control their own people.Only then can he be as stable as Mount Tai in the court.

Unknowingly, Jia Ke has controlled the 6 or [-] horses in the capital, plus the [-] elite soldiers in his headquarters, and he has the emperor's decree in his hand. He can completely suppress other armies and horses. He can let go of those who disobey orders.

But Jia Ke didn't need to be forced to take tough measures now, because Wang Ziteng was his ally after all.The number of other leading generals is less than one-third of the two of them.

Not long after, all the leading generals arrived at the infantry commander's yamen. Jia Ke was not arrogant and domineering just because he had received the emperor's imperial decree. He had already prepared the seats for the generals in the lobby.

Everyone took their seats as soon as they arrived. Jia Ke first took out the imperial edict and announced the emperor's order.After listening to the emperor's edict, the Jiedu envoys and the commander-in-chief of all the soldiers came to Jia Ke and knelt down to salute him. This time, the master and servant were confirmed, and Jia Ke didn't make things difficult for them, so they quickly got up and took their seats. .

"Generals, Jia Ke is not talented. He was favored by the emperor and bestowed an important task. He actually wants to devote himself to the emperor. Now the number of people in the capital has stabilized, and my 5 horses have controlled various places in the capital. The soldiers and horses of the generals are in the capital. What an inconvenience, if any nobleman is disturbed, it will be difficult to explain in the future, so I ordered all the ministries to go out of the city and camp outside the city." Jia Ke sat in the middle and said solemnly.

When everyone heard this, they felt that there was no problem. After all, the capital is now stable and there is no need for so many troops, so they stood up together and bowed their hands to Jia Ke.

Only then did Jia Ke show a smile on his face, and said to the leading generals at the bottom of the pond: "The emperor will definitely see the credit you have made this time. After a few days when everything settles down, the emperor will definitely reward you a lot. At that time, everyone will be able to return to their residences with the emperor's reward."
