dream of red mansion

Chapter 787 Praise
Jia Qing also saw that the reason why Prince Kang wanted to recruit him was not only to save some effort, but also to take a fancy to the group of former ministers of Emperor Zhengqing around him.

With myself, Emperor Zhengqing's favorite minister, coming forward to help him make peace, it would be easier to subdue him.

After all, he thought it was easy to capture the capital, but it was not so simple to secure the throne, as there were many things to do.

Subduing Jia Qing can save a lot of effort.

From this point of view, this Prince Kang is much more mature than the First Prince.

Also, much harder to deal with.

"I have seen Lord Kang's scheming, but I don't know how capable he is to lead troops? You know, the current emperor has ruled the world for more than ten years, with a deep foundation.

If Lord Kang wants to take the throne, he will inevitably suppress wave after wave of rebellion in the future.It would be bad if the leading ability is weak.

Why don't you use my tens of thousands of athletes from the Beijing camp to practice for the prince, and try the prince's ability to lead troops.

Didn't Jin Shizi say that a good minister chooses the master.I have to see the real strength of the prince, right? "

Jin Qiang said with an ugly expression: "So, is Ning Hou determined to be an enemy of the prince?"

Jia Qing said with a smile: "Jin Shizi misunderstood, I just wanted to test the strength of the lord, as long as the lord can destroy the tens of thousands of stragglers under my hands, I will swear allegiance to the lord to the death."

"Hehe, Marquis Ning is really interesting. Originally, for the sake of friendship between the two families, the prince didn't want to say one thing, lest Marquis Ning misunderstand that the prince is threatening Ning Hou. Now it seems that he really has to tell Marquis Ning the truth.

The grievances between His Majesty and the former prince are well known in the world, but as far as the prince knows, the former prince has always had an orphan who has been living outside and has not been found yet.

If His Majesty finds out that the orphan of the former prince has been in the house of his most trusted courtier, what will he think now. "

Jin Qiang sneered.

The smile on Jia Qing's face also gradually disappeared, and she looked at Jin Qiang solemnly.

The matter of Qin Keqing was still revealed.
However, it is no longer what it used to be.

If Prince Kang thought that he could intimidate himself with this, he might have made a wrong calculation.

"Jin Shizi talks to me in such a tone, isn't he afraid that I will kill you in a fit of anger?" Jia Qing said calmly.

Jin Qiang said: "Of course I'm afraid, but I believe that Marquis Ning is not such an impulsive person. Now I can be regarded as Lord Kang's envoy. Even if Marquis Ning doesn't vote for Lord Kang, it's just because of integrity, and it is absolutely impossible to provoke him for no reason. Prince, it is of no benefit to Lord Hou."

"Hehe." Jia Qing smiled, this Jin Qiang is indeed a talent.

"Come here, invite Jin Shizi to the Beijing camp for tea."

Jia Qing recruited guards.

Jin Qiang's complexion changed and he said: "If the two countries are fighting each other without beheading their envoys, don't you think it's too stingy for Lord Hou to be like this?"

"First, it's not a war between the two countries. You are rebels. What's wrong with me arresting a rebel? Second, I didn't say I would kill you. I just invited you back to drink tea and chat. How can Jin Shizi say that I am stingy? "

Jia Qing smiled and motioned for the soldiers to take him down.

It's really not that Jia Qing is stingy.Now that the nine gates of the capital are under his firm control, this Jin Qiang can still act as a lobbyist on behalf of Prince Kang. Obviously, they have a specific way of contacting each other.

Although he wasn't sure what kind of contact method it was, but if he detained him, Prince Kang's contact station would definitely suffer some blows.

Outside, Jin Qiang was still shouting: "If the prince doesn't get any news after an hour, he will attack the city aggressively. How will Marquis Ning keep his family safe? Please think twice."

Jia Qing didn't pay any attention to him.

Not to mention the kindness that Emperor Zhengqing treated him, but to say that Prince Kang is a treasonous minister, if he submits, he becomes a rebellious minister and a thief, let alone help him suppress wave after wave of benevolent and righteous people in the future?

If he doesn't have the strength to resist, it's fine, for the safety and life of his family, he can also "bear humiliation and steal life".

However, due to the kindness of Emperor Lai Zhengqing's favor, he completely let go of the capital camp to him, and even his request for the development of firearms was approved without court discussion...

This may be due to the fact that Emperor Zhengqing himself did not pay much attention to firearms, but this trust was worthy of him guarding the capital for him when someone wanted to take his throne and when his life was on the line.

This was originally the responsibility of Jingying!
He is confident that he can stop Prince Kang under the high walls of the capital.

But the most important thing now is that before Prince Kang attacked the city, he must clean up the "remnants" in the imperial city!

Kill what should be killed, and what should be closed.

For the disbanded Forbidden Army and Jinyi Army, in addition to resisting, most of them had to be recruited to expand their combat power.

……

……

In Ningguo Mansion, yesterday's guests have not all left yet.

The mutiny last night led to a night of constant fighting.

It is said that a scholar meets a soldier, but the reason is unclear.They are all nobles, how could they put themselves in danger?
Especially when everyone sent people to inquire about the news, but several servants from the family couldn't come back, it blew the courage of many people.

Therefore, except for those who were close to home who left yesterday, those who were far away from home, even the clans living in the imperial city, did not leave.

The majestic soldiers outside the Ningguo Mansion gave them a great sense of security.Plus at this time, everyone knows that their own home is definitely not as safe as Ningguo Mansion.

After all, although Jia Qing led troops to quell the rebellion, his family members, especially his bride, who had not had time to bridal chamber, were all in Ningguo Mansion.Can he not take special care of him?

At this time, there is no place that is safer than the home of the Jingying Jiedushi.

Fortunately, Jia's family is worthy of being a family of Shili Zanying, even in such a shocking change, they have never lost their manners.Not only their masters have arranged guest rooms, but at worst they have to clean private rooms for temporary stay, and even the servants they brought have arranged class rooms and row rooms for them to rest.

The magnanimity of the public house really made some civil officials and nobles who were born in the imperial examinations admire.

Especially when they knew that these things were advocated by the grandma who was only married by Lord Ning, they admired them even more!

Sure enough, it's not that the whole family does not enter the house.Such a majestic figure as Marquis Ning, married to Dafang's wife, really has a different kind of bearing!

Such a big event happened on the first night of the wedding, and the other young daughters-in-law couldn't be more worried. How could they think of any way to treat guests.

Even if Ningguo Mansion didn't do anything last night, they wouldn't have any excuses, they just borrowed a place to take refuge.

But to be treated politely is always a good thing, so this morning, the noise outside was a little quieter, and everyone gathered together, apart from talking about yesterday's military chaos, they also talked about the virtuous name of Grandma Xue.

The Beijing Prince's Mansion is in the Imperial City, and the Imperial City was closed last night. In addition, the King of Beijing was also worried that the Princess would be injured by the rebels, so she ordered the Princess of Beijing to temporarily stay in the Ningguo Mansion.

Most of the other people who brought their wives also thought about this, so there were almost no fewer nobles in the inner house of Ningguo Mansion when they got up early in the morning than yesterday.

Mother Jia did not return to Rongguo Mansion either.

After being served by the maids, he will wash up and come to the back hall of Ning'an Hall, and sit down to greet the imperial wives to have breakfast.

With so many imperial wives having breakfast together, I'm afraid that such a rare episode will be seen at this moment.

After breakfast, Princess Beijing looked at Baochai who was calling for the maids to serve tea and fruit snacks in the hall, smiled at Jia Mu and said, "This new granddaughter-in-law of Mrs. Tai's family is thoughtful and generous, and Ninghou is really a match made in heaven." A pair. I heard that this was the matchmaker that the Tai Madam personally protected, and the Tai Madam's vision is really enviable."

An older woman next to him echoed, "That's right. I don't know if there are any other people under Mrs. Tai's hands. I would also like to ask Mrs. Tai to keep such a good marriage for my boy..."

Jia's mother laughed and said: "The princess and the madam were joking, her new daughter-in-law should not be praised so much."

Having said that, Jia Mu still glanced at Baochai and sighed in her heart: everyone's eyes are sharp.

Last night, she first heard that Jia Qing was almost assassinated, and then the eldest prince mutinied again. She was bluffed quite a bit, except for sending people to inquire about the news and being frightened, she had nothing to do with it.

Later, it was Baochai who came out, and after finding out the reason, he was not flustered, and together with Youshi, Qinshi and others, greeted the maids, women and servants of the family, and arranged relatives, friends and guests according to their identities, men and women. .

Otherwise, if so many people gather together, disputes will arise over time.

Later, I heard that the rebellion was suppressed, and she herself was served by Baochai herself, and she went to rest in the wing room for a while.

I only knew that she was a good person before, but I didn't expect that in such an emergency, she was far better than everyone thought.

Having her as Brother Qing's virtuous helper does not disgrace Brother Qing's reputation outside!

Naturally, Baochai also heard everyone's unabashed praise for her. She didn't look surprised, hesitated for a moment, and called Yinger to bring two cups of tea to accompany her to Jia Mu.

"Old lady, I was supposed to serve you tea with the second master today, but he is not here, so my granddaughter-in-law dares to do this filial piety on behalf of the second master." Baochai knelt down on the futon made by the maid, brought a cup of tea, and respectfully Hand it to Mother Jia respectfully.

Today, as usual, she doesn't wear makeup, but she has already tied her hair up into a woman's hairstyle.

Bright eyes and white teeth, eyes as clear as autumn water, a white and ruddy face as rich as the silver moon in the sky, paired with a light yellow peony sleeve shirt with a light yellow bottom, it looks more dignified, elegant and extravagant.

In the past, he called Jia Qing Brother Qing, but now that she is married, he will naturally change his name.

According to common sense, she should call Jia Qing "Master", but now that Jia Zheng's generation is still in charge, Jia Qing called him "Master" a bit inappropriate, so she followed the maids and called Jia Qing "Second Master".
