The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 385 Crossing the Line
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Lei Ying, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, finally showed a smile on his face.This time the emperor spent so much effort and spent so much food and money, finally he was able to transfer the elite of Jia Ke's direct line to the north.

After the Xiaoqi Battalion left, Jia Ke's strength was greatly damaged, and the original three major battalions in the capital, as well as the imperial army and infantry commanded the people in the Yamen.It has long been infiltrated by the major families and the emperor's cronies.Even if Jia Ke is in charge, the emperor can breathe a sigh of relief.

"Since Mr. Jia has spoken, I will wait for the good news from Mr. Jia." Lei Ying was still able to give Jia Ke a run on at the end.

Jia Ke said impatiently: "Master Lei, rather than caring about this matter, might as well be concerned about whether the household department's grain harvest is almost done."

"Master Jia, please rest assured. I am concerned about this matter. The household department has already raised a lot of grain. On the fifth day of June, 150 million grain will be transported to the warehouse in the capital, waiting for the emperor to dispatch at any time." Liu Yu, Minister of the Ministry, heard that Jia Ke was running against Lei Ying so much, and immediately came out to help.

"That's good. I hope Mr. Liu from the Ministry of Household Affairs will not let us down, otherwise the national law will be ruthless." When Jia Ke said this, a cold light appeared in his eyes. During this time, the emperor began to be dishonest again. Time to hit him again.

After Jia Ke finished these few words, she flicked her robe sleeves and left the military plane to go back to the Marquis of Wuyang.

After Jia Ke left, Lei Ying and Liu Yu glanced at each other and smiled slightly.

Then the two also took each other and left the military aircraft department.

"Master Liu, do you think Jia Ke didn't guess the trick this time?"

Liu Yu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, I think Jia Ke has already seen the emperor's intention. Otherwise, he would not ask the emperor for food and salary."

"Then what does Jia Ke mean? He actually agreed to the Xiaoqi camp going north. Could it be that he really has no resentment."

"I think Jia Ke is too confident and doesn't take us seriously at all. It seems that he is still very confident in the control of the three battalions, so he let the Xiaoqi battalion go north."

"So, let's be careful. It seems that the penetration in the three camps must be strengthened, otherwise it may not be successful in the end."

Liu Yu nodded when he heard this and said, "How's the infiltration of the three major camps going?"

Lei Ying, Minister of the Ministry of War, was directly responsible for this matter. After all, he still knew a lot about military affairs. If he let others control him, he would probably lose his eyesight and be discovered by Jia Ke before he could take any action.

"Lord Liu, don't worry, I have mobilized all the manpower and connections with the emperor's secret guards and all the relatives of the imperial family. Now half of the middle-level generals in the Xiaoqi Battalion are under our control. As long as the emperor orders Now, even if we can't get rid of Jia Ke, we can still share the same status with him."

Only then did Liu Yu nod his head reassuringly, but he also felt that the matter was going too smoothly.It is completely unreasonable that Jia Ke did not notice any actions in the army.

Liu Yu felt a little worried now. If things didn't work out, none of them would have a chance to survive.

After dealing with various matters at the Military Aircraft Department, Jia Ke still returned to Wuyang Hou Mansion in the morning, but as soon as he sat down, the housekeeper Qian Mao came to report.

"Slave, please greet the lord." Qian Mao respectfully saluted Jia Ke in his study.

Over the years, Jia Ke's prestige has become more and more serious, and everyone in Jia's mansion is now in awe of Jia Ke.Even Jia Ke's father, Jia Zheng, was a little bit heartbroken when he saw Jia Ke.

"What's the matter? You came here just after I came back." Jia Ke held a teacup in his hand and asked impatiently. Originally, Jia Ke wanted to take a rest in the study, so he went back to the inner house to have dinner with Qin Keqing. Jia Zhi and Jia Mao, these two boys.

"Master, Luo Cen, the commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion, has been waiting at the gatehouse for a whole morning, and I ask you to see him." Qian Mao immediately replied to Jia Ke's words, not daring to be slighted.

"Oh, why didn't I see him come to worship when I entered the door just now?" Jia Ke asked seriously.

"When the uncle came in just now, I saw some uninvited guests outside the door, so I didn't let him out." Qian Mao explained to Jia Ke with his head down.

Although Luo Cen didn't need to be so secretive when he came to meet Jia Ke, but there was always such a group of people outside the gate of the mansion, staring at them day and night, no one would feel unhappy.

Jia Ke was a little annoyed now, the emperor's secret guards were becoming more and more unscrupulous, and the spies they sent even spotted Qian Mao, so he had no more scruples.

Jia Ke directly ordered: "You will go to Liu Yu in a while, and arrest all these people with ulterior motives at our gate and send them to the infantry commander's yamen. Then I will have a way to deal with them."

"Master, there must be a crime for the slaves to arrest them, please show me."

"What reason does this need? Let's say they snooped on the minister's privacy and conspired against the law." Jia Ke was deeply touched by Qian Mao's timidity. It was because of cowardice when Qian Mao took refuge here.He has not corrected this problem now.

It seems that he cannot be involved in many things, otherwise, if he crashes, this person will be a ticking time bomb.

After listening to Jia Ke's order, Qian Mao said, "I'll do it right now, my slave. Let these people stay in the cells of the infantry commander's yamen this afternoon."

Although Qian Mao is still very timid now, he is well aware of Jia Ke's power.

The current infantry commanding the Yamen seems to be opened by the Jia Mansion, not only the Rongguo Mansion, but also those side branches of the Jia Mansion sometimes use the resources of the infantry commanding the Yamen.Therefore, no one in the Jia family dared to provoke anyone in the market now, and he was afraid that he would be caught and sent to the infantry commander's yamen if he made a mistake.

Even those side branches are like this, not to mention Jia Ke's confidant housekeeper like Qian Mao. Now Qian Mao has many family members who have committed crimes going to his house to give gifts. Come out of the yamen.

Qian Mao also treated the family members of these offenders differently, and he agreed to those who only had some minor problems.But as long as he commits a slightly serious crime, he will refuse it because he knows that he does not have the ability.

It was precisely because Qian Mao was so cautious and did not make any serious mistakes that Jia Ke tolerated him for the time being. Otherwise, based on his timid appearance and his previous record of betrayal, how could he have become Jia Ke's confidant and has been serving as Wuyang The butler of the Hou Mansion until now.

"Go ahead, call Luo Cen to the study, I'll wait for him here." Jia Ke already knew almost the reason for Luo Cen's visit.

This time he came here to ask him for advice on leading the army to the north, and he came to show his loyalty by the way.

Not long after, Qian Mao brought Luo Cen to Jia Ke's study outside.

As soon as Luo Cen came in and saw the Taoist guest, he immediately saluted Jia Ke with one leg, "The humble Luo Cen has met the commander."

As Jia Ke now controls more and more troops, now all the generals of Jia Ke's direct line have changed their name to Jia Ke as Marshal.This not only makes her appear close, but also shows her obedience to Jia Ke.

"Get up, there is a seat next to you and sit by yourself. It's like this every time we meet, whether it's annoying or not, it's better when we were in Kaiping Town, when we were brothers, we ate and lived together. There are too many stinking rules." Although Jia Ke was very satisfied with Luo Cen's attitude, he still complained in his mouth, so as to show that Jia Ke did not forget the old feelings.

After Luo Cen stood up, he carefully sat down on a chair next to the study.

"What's the matter with your visit this time? It's not just for flattery." Jia Ke said jokingly. Now Jia Ke likes to play such small jokes with her subordinates to show her closeness.

After listening to Jia Ke's joke, Luo Cen also began to relax, "Marshal, I don't have time to joke now. The Ministry of War sent me a general order early this morning, asking me to set off in Xuanfu Town and Miyun as soon as possible. Stationed in between, ready to support the two places at any time. So I came here to ask the commander for an idea."

Jia Ke didn't expect Lei Ying to be so rude, and even before saying hello to him, he had already passed him and issued a military order to Xiaoqi Battalion.

Fortunately, Luo Cen came over to say hello to him, otherwise he would still be in the dark.At this time, Jia Ke was being watched outside the residence just now, and the anger aroused broke out again.

"What a Lei Ying, you are so bold, you dared to give orders to my troops without my consent." Jia Ke was furious now.

If he could tolerate the Emperor and Lei Ying and the others in other matters, then monarchy was Jia Ke's taboo, and he would never tolerate anyone who wanted to do anything to Jia Ke in terms of military power.

"After you go back, stand still. Without my general order, no one is allowed to mobilize a single soldier. I want to see what can be done with us, Minister of the Ministry of War, Lei Ying." Jia Ke ordered Luo Cen with a gloomy expression.

This time Lei Ying has crossed the bottom line, breaking the tacit understanding between Jia Ke and the emperor.

During this period of time, Jia Ke has tried his best to cooperate with the emperor in government affairs.As for the emperor's military issues, Jia Ke has always been in charge, and he does not personally order. All transfers are carried out through Jia Ke.

Now without Jia Ke's consent, Lei Ying directly gave orders to the Xiaoqi Battalion in the name of the Ministry of War. No matter whether it was a test or not, it obviously broke the tacit understanding between the two sides.

If Jia Ke keeps silent this time, then Lei Ying will intensify and directly pass Jia Ke to issue orders to Jia Ke's direct troops, and at that time, Jia Ke's authority in the army will be shaken.

If Lei Ying doesn't give himself an explanation this time, then the matter of the Xiaoqi battalion going north may have to be abandoned.

When Luo Cen heard Jia Ke's order, he immediately stood up, clasped his hands together and said, "The humble officer will strictly follow the general's order, and will never move a step north without the general's order.
