The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 759 Troubleshooting
By the time Jia Ke returned to the capital with his team, it was almost New Year's Eve.

On the day when Jia Ke arrived in Beijing, Fan Kang and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knelt and waited in Shiliting.

When Jia Ke's Luanjia arrived at Shili Pavilion and the carriages and horses stopped, Jia Ke opened the curtain of the Luanjia and gave instructions to the officials below, "It's getting cold, all gentlemen, get up and go to Beijing with me. Palace, let's talk later."

After Jia Ke finished speaking, Luanjia continued to drive, and then entered the city from Deshengmen, and finally stopped in front of the Meridian Gate of the imperial palace. Dry clean the door and stop.

Jia Ke got off the ceremonial car at the gate of Qianqing, and with the help of the eunuchs and maids, went down to the gate of Qianqing, sat on the throne, and the civil and military ministers stood on both sides, and then knelt down to Jia Ke three times and nine times. .

Jia Ke lost a lot in the Northern Expedition this time, so he was not in the mood to continue being here. .”

All the civil and military men stood up and stood on either side, waiting for Jia Ke to speak.

Jia Ke sat on the throne in silence for a long time, and finally said: "Our army won a complete victory in this Northern Expedition. The Tatars could not gain a foothold and had already fled to the west. I think that within a hundred years, the northern grasslands should be peaceful. "

After hearing Jia Ke's words, all the civil and military people below were very excited. This time, the Long Live Northern Expedition can be said to have completely resolved the danger in the north.From now on, the military expenditure for stability in the north can be reduced, and the burden on the people can also be reduced.

But only Fan Kang looked at Jia Ke sitting on the throne with a cloudy expression, knowing that this time is not as easy as Jia Ke said, and there must be something they don't know.

Seeing the civil and military ministers whispering in displeasure, Jia Ke patted the table, and said to the people below: "Okay, I'm already tired after returning to the capital, let's just leave it at that today, if there is anything to do, wait until the next court." Play again."

After Jia Ke finished speaking, she tossed her sleeves and went to the harem.

All the civil and military people look at me and I look at you. They all don’t understand. The emperor’s Northern Expedition smashed the Tatars, drove the Tatars to the west, and solved the threat of the Central Plains for hundreds of years. Why doesn’t it look happy? look.

Fan Kang followed the crowd to leave the gate of Qianqing, walked all the way outside the palace, and suddenly saw Sun Yan, the foreman of the military aircraft department in front of him, whispering earnestly with several familiar officials.

Fan Kang walked gently behind them, and suddenly patted Sun Yan on the back, "What are you talking about?"

Sun Yan was taken aback, and when he turned around and saw it was Fan Kang, he breathed a sigh of relief, then blew on his beard and said angrily, "Almost scared the old man out of his soul, how old is he? .”

Fan Kang hastily handed over his hands to apologize to Sun Yan, but Sun Yan just talked about it, and Master Fan's fault was no longer pursued.

Then Fan Kang gave Sun Yan a wink, and then the two left the crowd and walked outside the palace alone.

"What's going on? I see that the emperor is not very interested."

Sun Yan sighed, and then replied: "This time we lost 10,000+ people in the Northern Expedition, do you think the emperor will be happy?"

Fan Kang was taken aback when he heard this. Since Jia Ke led the army in battle, he has fought south and north, blocked east and west, and has been invincible and invincible.Fan Kang didn't expect the emperor to suffer such a serious loss this time.

"What's going on? With the emperor's combat experience, how could there be such a big mistake?"

"Hey, it's no wonder the emperor. When we first started fighting the Tatars, our progress was smooth and we didn't lose much. How could we know that the Tatars moved westward when they saw that they were no match for us?"

"In the end, I don't know which bastard came up with Als's idea, and threw all the dead bodies into the ponds, rivers and lakes along the way. In the end, we don't know the reason. This made the army full of epidemics, or the emperor acted decisively. All the 10,000+ sick people were left in their original places, and they returned to the south with their own people, so as to save the army from being swallowed up by the disease.”

Fan Kang gasped after hearing this. He didn't expect the other party to make such a bad move. It seems that the Tatars are not planning to go back to the grassland.Otherwise, all the water sources on this road will be polluted, and their army will not be able to move forward.

Fan Kang closed his eyes and raised his head to think for a while, before finally heaving a sigh of relief and said: "That's fine, it seems that the passage between the East and the West has been completely blocked in the past few decades. Saying it’s safe, isn’t it also a glimpse of the invisible Great Wall for me?”

Sun Yan shook his head and said with a sigh: "That's what I said. You didn't see the tragic situation in the barracks at that time. The emperor shed tears several times. If I hadn't tried hard to persuade him, the emperor might not be able to abandon those people."

After hearing Sun Yan's words, Fan Kang also sighed. Although he hadn't seen it before, he could still imagine the scene of corpses strewn all over the field and the stench.

Not to mention that Fan Kang and Sun Yan sighed here, but also that Jia Ke returned to the harem sullenly.

As soon as Jia Ke entered the Qianqing Palace, he saw Xue Baochai and all the concubines waiting for Jia Ke.

Sitting on the throne, Jia Ke asked Xue Baochai who was standing next to her, "Is everything okay in the palace? Nothing happened to the children, right?"

"Long live back, everything in the palace is normal, the princes are also studying hard, and there is no trouble."

Jia Ke nodded, and then said to the concubines: "I'm tired, let's stop here today, you all kneel down."

All the concubines, including Xue Baochai, had seen that Jia Ke was not in high spirits. Now that Jia Ke had given his order, these people saluted Jia Ke and bowed out of the Qianqing Palace.

Jia Ke sat in the Qianqing Palace for a long time, seeing the sun set and the inside of the Qianqing Palace gradually getting dark, Jia Ke sighed and said to Li Deshan who was standing beside him, "Put Ningshou Let’s go to the palace, at least go see the Empress Dowager.”

Li Deshan hurriedly went out to prepare a Luanjia for Jia Ke, without a cup of tea, Li Deshan returned to the main hall of Qianqing Palace, came to Jia Ke's side, and said in a low voice: "Long live, the Luanjia has been arranged, do you want to leave now? "

Jia Ke nodded, then stood up and walked out.

Li Deshan hurriedly trotted behind Jia Ke, supported one of Jia Ke's arms, and came to the outside of Qianqing Palace together.

Then Jia Ke got on the imperial chariot and walked all the way to the gate of Ningshou Palace.

When Jia Ke got off the imperial chariot, she saw Yuanyang standing there looking up.

When Yuanyang saw Jia Ke, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute Jia Ke, and then said with a smile, "Long live, the old lady has been waiting for you all day."

Jia Ke drifted away from the mandarin duck and saw her eyes were red, as if something happened.

"What's wrong with you? Your eyes are red from crying. Does anyone in the palace dare to bully you?"

Seeing that Jia Ke saw Xingzang, Yuanyang hurriedly smiled to cover up: "In this palace, no one dares to bully servants and maids. Just now, the wind blinded their eyes."

Normally, Jia Ke might ask more questions, but now that Jia Ke is in a bad mood, he doesn't care about these things, so he walked into Ningshou Palace.

Jia Ke entered the Ningshou Palace and met Jia Mu. After paying respects to Jia Mu, Jia Ke asked him to sit beside her.

Jia's mother looked at her most promising grandson up and down, and saw that although Jia Ke was dressed and looked the same, but without a head, there was an unresolved sadness.

"What's the matter? I heard that you won a complete victory? Why is the emperor still frowning? If you have something to say, old woman, I will help you out."

Jia Ke has nothing to hide from Jia Mu, so he will abandon nearly 10 people in order to keep the army safe when he encountered a plague in the Northern Expedition and let them fend for themselves on the grassland. Mother said it again.

As Jia Ke spoke, her eye circles turned red, and tears fell down involuntarily.

Mother Jia also became serious when she heard this, "These people all died for the sake of our family's country. They shouldn't be so unknown. My old lady said it's better to build an ancestral hall and enshrine their spirit cards, so that those who died in vain There is also a resting place for the wronged souls, so that their families can also have a place to worship."

After Jia Ke heard this, the melancholy in her eyes gradually disappeared. The empress dowager's method is good, so that her conscience can feel better.

"Thank you Lafayette for your suggestion."

Jia's mother was satisfied when she saw Jia Ke recovered, "You are still young and have little experience. Your grandfather saw so many robes and shed blood on the battlefield. If he is like you every time, then he won't Live your life, and worry to death.”

"Is it the grandson's fault? Let Lafayette worry about it."

Seeing that the atmosphere was relaxed, Mother Jia smiled and said to Jia Ke, "I have something to tell you."

"Lafayette has something to say, just tell me."

"It's not a big deal, but the eldest daughter-in-law came to the palace a few days ago and told me that Jia Lian and his daughter-in-law have not had sex for a long time. Let me persuade you not to let the young couple, because of a trivial matter When there was a conflict, I thought of you and Jia Lian growing up together, being able to talk together, and persuading Jia Lian and her daughter-in-law to admit their mistake, so they can't live like this forever."

When Jia Ke heard this, he knew what was going on when he thought about it. It seemed that the eunuchs he had arranged had played a role. Over the past few years, they had taken Jia Lian very seriously.

Regarding this matter, Jia Ke hoped that they would never be together, how could she help?

"It's not good for me to speak about Lafayette. After all, it's the matter of the young couple. It's not good for me to get involved."

After Jia Ke finished speaking, she hurriedly bid farewell to Mother Jia and left.

Sitting there, Mother Jia looked gloomy as she watched Jia Ke leave in a hurry.

"Go to Prince Jing's mansion, just say what I say, and ask the eldest daughter-in-law to keep a close eye on me. If any rumors spread, she can go directly to explain to the ancestors."

After listening to Jiamu's words, Yuanyang bowed respectfully, then quit the eunuchs sent by Ningshou Palace, and went to Prince Jing's Mansion to deliver the decree.

Mother Jia also sighed after seeing the mandarin duck go out, the elder brother was fine before, but since he became the emperor, he has become more and more uncontrollable.
