The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 774 Prelude
When Jia Ke received the secret report from Jia Yucun, his dragon boat had already arrived near Cangzhou.

That night, Jia Ke was in the cabin of the dragon boat, drinking some wine, listening and watching, and the singers were dancing there, very comfortable.

When Jia Ke was half awake and half drunk, Li Deshan hurried in from the cabin, came to Jia Ke's side, and whispered in his ear: "Long live, Jiayu Village in the capital, Mr. Jia sent Here comes Secret Zhe."

After hearing this, Jia Ke was shocked. If there was no important matter, Jia Yucun and others would not give him a secret book.

"Bring it up."

After receiving Jia Ke's order, Li Deshan withdrew immediately, took a small sealed box and came to Jia Ke in a short while.

Jia Ke picked up the small box and looked at it carefully, seeing that the seal on it was still intact, then winked at Li Deshan.

Li Deshan immediately took out a key from a small iron cabinet, opened the box in front of Jia Ke, took out a memorial from it, and handed it to Jia Ke respectfully.

Jia Ke picked up the memorial and looked at it carefully. On the surface was written Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Admiral Jia Yucun of the Nine Gates.

Then Jia Ke opened the memorial and watched it carefully. At the beginning, Jia Ke was still careless, but as time passed, Jia Ke's brows became more and more wrinkled, and his face became more and more ashen.

At the end, Jia Ke jumped up against the table, and the dancers who were singing and dancing below were all trembling with fright when they saw Jia Ke like this.

Li Deshan hurriedly waved his hands and drove all the singers out, leaving only Jia Ke and Li Deshan in the cabin.

It was only then that Jia Ke said angrily, "I never thought that after so many years, I would raise a white-eyed wolf. He is trying to usurp the throne."

Li Deshan was so frightened that he was sweating profusely when he heard Jia Ke say the word usurping the throne.

Jia Ke sat back on the throne again, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said to Li Deshan, "Draft the decree."

Li Deshan didn't dare to neglect, he hurriedly laid out a blank copy of the imperial decree on the small table next to him, then picked up a pen and waited for Jia Ke.

"Before I return to the capital, Jia Yucun temporarily controls all military power inside and outside the capital. No one shall deprive him of his rights without my order. At the same time, he will be given the sword of Shang Fang. Officials below the third rank will be killed first and then played. Officials above the third rank can be temporarily arrested and sent to prison."

Li Deshan followed Jia Ke's words, and his pen became faster and faster. When Jia Ke finished speaking, he had already written the imperial edict.

Then Li Deshan held the imperial decree according to the rules, and went to Jia Ke to ask Jia Ke to have a look.

Jia Ke stared at the imperial edict carefully for a long time, and saw that there was nothing wrong with it. Then she took the imperial edict and put it on her imperial case, uncovered the emperor's treasure and covered it herself.

After Jia Ke finished using the jade seal, she said to Li Deshan who was at the side: "You immediately send someone to deliver this decree and Fang Fang's sword to the capital, Jia Yucun. Don't delay for a while."

After hearing this, Li Deshan hurriedly picked up the imperial decree, then bowed his head and went out.

After a while, Li Deshan returned to the cabin again, first saluted Jia Ke, and then said: "Go back to Long Live, the servant has sent people to set off overnight, and the things will be delivered to Master Jia in two days."

Jia Ke nodded, and then closed her eyes tiredly. Sure enough, the royal family has been the most ruthless since ancient times.

"Send your people to pass by my side again, so that no one can take advantage of it."

Li Deshan is also serious now, he did not expect Chu Wang Jiazhi to have such courage.

So Li Deshan remonstrated: "Your Majesty, why don't we go back to the palace now, so as not to give those people an opportunity."

After hearing this, Jia Ke sneered, "How many hardships have I experienced in my life? This little trick can't help me. If I continue to go south, I will have to see what this kid is capable of. If he can really do it , then I can leave with peace of mind."

The next day, Jia Ke's dragon boat continued to head south as if nothing had happened, but Jia Ke's side was more heavily guarded than before.

Two days later, Jia Yucun received Jia Ke's order at the infantry commander's yamen.

After Jia Yucun knew what Jia Ke meant, he felt relieved.It seems that the emperor wants to let the king of Chu continue to make trouble, see how far he can go, and finally come out to clean up the mess.

But the matter was beyond Jia Yucun's expectations. Although it was said that the king of Chu still entertained Jia Yucun every three days, he didn't do anything else.

It turned out that King Jia Zhi of Chu was waiting, waiting for the news he had been waiting for for a long time.

Li Wenbin, as Jia Zhi's teacher, has not been idle during this time. Li Wenbin is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He uses his identity as Jia Ke's enlightenment teacher to keep connecting with the court and increase contacts for the king of Chu Jia Zhi. .

And all of them have been seen by Fan Kang for a long time, and Fan Kang can be regarded as watching King Jiazhi of Chu grow up. At the same time, he remembered the courtesy of Queen Qin Keqing to him during his lifetime, so he wanted to make King Jiazhi of Chu give up such an adventure.

So I went to meet Jia Ke several times to make him give up his plan, but Jia Zhi, the king of Chu, has been dazzled by power now, so he wouldn't listen to Fan Kang.

Therefore, every time Fan Kang opened his mouth, Jia Zhi, the King of Chu, would evade it with various reasons, which made Fan Kang a little helpless. Moths rush to the flame to kill themselves.

In the end, Fan Kang had no choice but to wait and see what happened.

A few nights later, King Jia Zhi of Chu summoned Li Wenbin again in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Li Wenbin was summoned by King Jia Zhi of Chu, and immediately went to the East Nuan Pavilion next to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. When he entered the room, he found that Jia Zhi was the only one in the room.

Li Wenbin stepped forward to salute, Chu Wang Jiazhi waved him off, then let him sit next to him, and said in a low voice: "It should be these two days, sir thinks there is something wrong."

Li Wenbin sighed. He still has some feelings for Jia Ke, but since Jia Ke came to power, he didn't give himself glory and wealth, so he can only sacrifice him now.

"Now the king just needs to wait and see what happens. When the news comes, the prince will do two things."

"Which two things?"

"The first thing is to go to the palace immediately to meet the Supreme Emperor and get the support of the Supreme Emperor. As long as the Supreme Emperor is there, the civil and military ministers have nothing to say."

Chu Wang Jiazhi thought for a while, and then said uncertainly: "Can the imperial grandfather really support me?"

"My lord, don't worry. The Supreme Emperor respects Confucianism and Taoism. As the eldest son, your lord, you will definitely get the support of the Supreme Emperor."

After listening to Li Wenbin's words, Chu Wang Jiazhi regained his confidence.

Li Wenbin went on to say: "The second thing is that after receiving the support of the Supreme Emperor, the prince should go directly to the cloth army to lead the yamen. If Jia Yucun supports it, the prince will naturally stop everything. If Jia Yucun does not agree, the prince will stop In the name of Jian Guo, he killed Jia Yucun on the spot and seized the infantry's military power to command the yamen."

King Jiazhi of Chu heard that he was going to kill someone, his heart trembled, but his eyes gradually became firm in the end, "Mr. "

After listening to Jia Zhi's promise, Li Wenbin finally showed a smile on his face. Why did he betray Jia Ke?Isn't it just glory and wealth?
Li Wenbin felt complacent just now, and suddenly became vigilant again.

"My lord, according to my observations during this time, Fan Kang, Minister of Military Affairs, Minister of Rites, seems to have noticed something. Your lord must be on guard. If the other party sends any news to the emperor, we will all die without a place to die."

"In my opinion, what should Gu do?"

"If you don't do anything, then send someone to get rid of him immediately, so that he won't be an eyesore."

Chu Wang Jiazhi nodded silently after hearing this. Now there must be no mistake or kindness.

"Okay, Gu will send someone now to send Fan Kang back to the west in the next few days."

Chu Wang Jiazhi and Li Wenbin didn't know that their conversation just now had been secretly recorded.

In less than an hour, a carrier pigeon flew away from the palace and headed straight to the south.

Li Deshan, who was on the Grand Canal, was shocked when he heard the news from the people below. He didn't expect that Jia Zhi, the king of Chu, would be so insane.

But this matter was too important, it was related to the life of a military minister, Li Deshan did not dare to neglect, and immediately entered the cabin to report to Jia Ke.

At this time, Jia Ke was drinking in the cabin accompanied by Xianfei Chuncao.

Ever since Jia Ke got the news that Jia Zhi, king of Chu, was plotting something wrong two days ago, she has been depressed, thinking about the people around her these years, which one is not close to her for the sake of power, and only the virtuous concubine Chuncao silently follows her, no matter what. I have never been far away from poverty and wealth.

Therefore, during this period of time, Jia Ke was accompanied by spring grass day and night.

Jia Ke got a report from the palace maid, saying that Li Deshan, the chief manager, only nodded her head when she asked to see her.

Li Deshan got the reply from the palace maid outside, so he dared to enter the cabin, came to Jia Ke's side, first saluted according to the rules, then took out the information from his bosom, and sent it to Jia Ke.

Jia Ke didn't accept the information, but asked blankly, "What's the matter?"

Li Deshan looked at the concubine Chuncao who was sitting next to Jia Ke, and finally lowered his head and dared not speak.

Chuncao is not a fool either, as soon as Li Deshan looked at her, she knew that they had something important to say and couldn't say it in front of her, so she stood up quickly and bid farewell to Jia Ke.

Jia Ke sat there and nodded. Seeing that Jia Ke agreed, Chuncao bowed and took a few steps back, and then went out of the cabin.

Li Deshan saw that the virtuous concubine Chuncao had gone out, so he leaned in front of Jia Ke and said, "Long Live Lord, Mr. Fan Kangfan seems to have noticed that something is wrong with the King of Chu. On Li Wenbin's suggestion, the King of Chu is going to assassinate him in the next few days." Master Fan."

Jia Ke smiled coldly, "I will leave this matter to you. Send your men to escort Master Fan out of the city. The generals of the three major battalions are all familiar with Master Fan. Once you hide in the camp, that kid can't be found."

After hearing Jia Ke's words, Li Deshan immediately said flatteringly, "Your Majesty, you have a way, and this servant will give you orders."

After getting Jia Ke's consent, Li Deshan withdrew from the cabin.
