My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 242 Everyone has their own thoughts

Amidst loud voices, Li Mingqian, who had just been canonized as King of Jin, arrived at the Wucheng Bingma Si Yamen surrounded by a group of royal guards.

Jia Yu led a group of military officials from the five cities to line up at the door to greet him.

"I have met His Highness the King of Jin. His Highness is a thousand years old!"

"Excuse me, everyone."

Li Mingqian, who was wearing a four-clawed python robe, stepped forward quickly, held up his hands, and motioned for everyone to stand up. Then he smiled and said to Jia Yu: "Uncle Dingyuan, colleagues, I have come to the five cities to fight with my father's order. Si Guanzheng.

Before coming here, my father had told me that after coming to the Five Cities Army and Horses Division alone, I should talk less and read more, and learn more from Uncle Dingyuan. I must stay humble and not act like a prince, so Uncle Dingyuan, you just have to say: You need to regard Gu as an ordinary official of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. "

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin has great righteousness, I admire you!" Jia Yu and the officials behind him all held up their hands, with expressions of admiration on their faces.

Of course, what everyone thinks is another matter.

Jia Yu welcomed King Jin into the hall and handed him a pile of files, "Your Highness, King Jin, these files are matters that have been handled by the Military and Horse Division in recent months, and Deputy Commander Feng has already dealt with them.

"Your Highness has given you the compliment."

Li Minggan smiled and said, "Hey... Uncle Dingyuan's words are wrong.

"Uncle Dingyuan is worthy of being an important official in the imperial court that my father values ​​highly. He does things according to rules. Having you in Daxia is a blessing to the country and the country of Daxia!"

Now that these files have been processed by you and Deputy Commander Feng, it doesn't matter whether you look at them or not. "

You can take it for a check, which can be regarded as filling in the gaps for your subordinates. "

For more than a year, I have been walking on thin ice for fear of making a mistake. For this reason, I submitted my resignation to His Majesty a few months ago, but Your Majesty has never replied.

Anyone would be honored to be praised so highly by the current prince.

Since you have come to the Wucheng Army and Horses Division to observe the government, you have come to the Wucheng Army and Horses Division to do things. If you don't even read the files, how should you answer if His Majesty asks after you return to the palace? "

But Jia Yu did not dare to accept the compliment. He bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness has given you the compliment. Yu is so favored by His Majesty that I am lucky enough to sit in this seat.

Since you took over as the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, the security of the entire Shenjing has been completely renewed. Those monsters and monsters in the past no longer dare to show their faces. Even the father and the queen privately praised your ability, otherwise it would be impossible. I won’t let you learn from me alone.

Now that His Majesty has sent you to the Military and Horse Division to observe the administration, your subordinates and the Military and Horse Division are finally relieved.

The official only hopes that you can become familiar with the regulations of the Army and Horse Department as soon as possible so that you can take over the Army and Horse Department as soon as possible, and the official can focus on the reconstruction of the Beijing camp. "

Li Mingqian's gloomy face wavered for a moment, and then he smiled again.

Unlike previous dynasties, Daxia did not have the tradition of the eldest son inheriting the throne. Instead, it chose the virtuous person to take the throne. In theory, every prince had the opportunity to sit on that seat.

When he heard that Jia Yu was going to focus on the Beijing camp, a glimmer of light flashed in Li Mingqian's eyes, and the smile on his face became brighter.

Jia Yu's words made Li Mingqian's smile freeze on his face, and he couldn't react for a while.

A man who looked like a guard behind him had a look of anger on his face. He took two steps forward and was about to scold him, but was stopped by Li Mingqian with a wave of his hand.

For example, the yamen where the eldest prince, King Li Mingyin of Qi, came to watch politics was the Ministry of Justice, the yamen where the second prince, King Wu Li Mingjin, watched politics was the Ministry of Rites, and the yamen where the third prince, King Li Minggan of Jin, came to watch politics was the Department of Military Affairs and Horses of the Five Cities.

If others don’t know, don’t you know?

Therefore, when each prince reaches adulthood, he will be assigned to a yamen to observe the government.

Jia Yu smiled and waved her hand, but still insisted on placing the file in front of Li Mingqian, "Your Highness... please forgive me for being unreasonable.

As mentioned before, although theoretically every prince has the opportunity to sit in that position, that is only theoretical. It is not difficult to understand why King Wu was sent to the Ministry of Punishment and King Jin was sent to the Five Cities Soldiers. This is the reason why Li Mingjin, who was born as Ma Si instead of a legitimate son, was sent to the Ministry of Rites.

In fact, since the founding of Daxia, all those who sit on the throne of the emperor are the emperor's legitimate sons.

Everyone in Daxia knows that the emperor sends a prince to observe the government. Which yamen the prince goes to will become the prince's base.

Before Li Mingqian came, he went to Fengzao Palace to consult his mother, Queen White, who gave him face-to-face advice and asked him to make more friends with Jia Yu, the latest upstart in recent years.

Jia Yu is not only smart, capable, and good at fighting, but more importantly, he can make money for the court.

Starting from the eradication of bandits at Erlong Mountain, the amount of money he obtained for the court was large enough to suppress any opposition to him in the court.

Therefore, even though the imperial court and the central government have piled up a mountain of memorials to impeach him in the past two years, he can still become the most valued minister of Emperor Changping.

Now, he has been appointed as the Jiedu Envoy of Beijing Camp, responsible for rebuilding Beijing Camp.

Once the reconstruction of the Beijing camp is completed, he will become the most powerful nobleman in Daxia with an army of 100,000 in the Beijing camp.

As long as Li Mingqian is still interested in spying on Dabao, Jia Yu will be the one he must win over. This is why he was so polite to Jia Yu just now.

It's a pity that his overtures seemed to be thrown to a blind man. Although Jia Yu's attitude towards him cannot be said to be indifferent, it can only be said to be respectful with a hint of alienation. He always kept a distance and seemed not to want to have a close relationship with him. This It also made Li Mingqian angry with a hint of helplessness.

However, he was not discouraged. If Jia Yu was so easily subdued by him with just a few words, he would not be worthy of being so valued by his father.

Thinking of this, he said seriously: "Uncle Dingyuan is right, but Gu is wrong.

Don't worry, I will read these files as soon as possible in the next two days, and then ask you for advice. "

Seeing that Li Mingqian was not angry, but could quickly adjust his attitude and apologize to himself, Jia Yu couldn't help but think more highly of him. If it were another prince, seeing that his proactive overture was actually rejected, Bao Buqi would have been angry, but But this man was still able to apologize to himself without changing his face. This alone was much better than that of King Wu.

But precisely because of this, he became even more wary of Li Mingqian.

Because he firmly believes in one thing: Dogs that bite often don't bark. By the time they bark at you, you are often in the most danger.

The other officials of the Wucheng Army and Horses Department watched Jia Yu and His Highness King Wu secretly exchanged words several times while chatting and laughing. They all listened carefully and looked at the matter as if it had nothing to do with them. .

One of these two people is a noble man with a lot of troops, and the other is a prince who has just been named King of Jin. No matter which one they can afford to offend, the best way is to pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend not to see. Li Mingqian, who had encountered a soft spot with Jia Yu, finally calmed down and began to look at the files honestly.

In a blink of an eye, it was midnight in the afternoon. Jia Yu stretched out and said to Li Minggan, who was still looking at the files carefully: "His Royal Highness, I have one more thing I need to report to you."

Li Mingqian put down the file and said with a smile: "Uncle Dingyuan, you're welcome. Just say what you have to say."

Jia Yu said: "Xiaoguan has a cousin, Jia Lian, the son of Jia Enhou of Rongguo Mansion, who is currently at home doing nothing.

Although he doesn't have much ability, he does things decently.

It just so happens that there is a vacancy for a hundred households in the Dongcheng Army and Horses Department, and my subordinate plans to transfer him to the Dongcheng Five City Army and Horses Department to take over the position of the hundred households, so I specially inform you and hope you will agree. "

Li Mingqian laughed, and his fat face was immediately filled with a sense of joy, "Uncle Dingyuan, you are too polite. I told you this morning that I came here with only my eyes and ears, my soldiers and horses." I am not qualified to intervene in the affairs of the Si. You are now the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. You can just make your own decisions on such trivial matters. There is no need to ask King Gu."

"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. As a prince, and as a subordinate, how can I not report to you when something happens?"

Li Mingqian laughed loudly, nodded with satisfaction, and patted Jia Yu on the shoulder: "Since Uncle Dingyuan has said so, what else can I say? You have the final say in this matter."

Seeing that Li Mingqian agreed, Jia Yu felt relieved.

Although Jia Yu is still the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, everyone knows that it will not be long before Emperor Changping agrees to his resignation, and the position of commander of the Military and Horse Division will fall into the hands of the little fat man in front of him. inside.

Now he can certainly use his authority to transfer Jia Lian in, but once he leaves, when Li Mingqian takes over the Army and Horse Division, Jia Lian will have to wear shoes if he can't keep it. This is why he went out of his way to report to Li Mingqian.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Sixth Rank Hundred Households, which are already unattainable, have already decided their affiliation in the conversation and laughter between the two. This is the power brought by power, and this is why countless people throughout the ages have been obsessed with power.

After the two talked for a few more words, Jia Yu took the lead to say goodbye and leave.

Li Minggan smiled and watched Jia Yu leave, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

After Jia Yu left, the captain of the guard behind him came up to him and whispered: "Your Majesty, this man is so arrogant that he dares to refuse your solicitation. Why do you still give him this face?"

Li Mingqian glanced at him and said calmly: "Why don't you give him face?"

"But he..."

The captain of the guard had just finished speaking, when he suddenly realized and patted his head, "I understand, I understand. You plan to recruit people first, and then slowly take care of his cousin after Uncle Dingyuan leaves.

High...really high! "

"Fool!"

Li Mingqian kicked the captain of the guard in the butt angrily, "Why did I choose a fool like you to be the captain of the guard? You don't have to think carefully about it.

By agreeing first and then rectifying others, wouldn't this offend Jia Yu to death and make him a big enemy for nothing? What good would this do to Gu? "

The captain of the guard did not dare to tell the difference, so he could only rub his buttocks and lower his head...

Time passed, and more than three months passed like this.

In the meantime, Emperor Changping had approved Jia Yu's resignation memorial, and he had also gone to the Ministry of Household Affairs to hand over the seal of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division.

Jin Wang Li Mingqian also officially took charge of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division. During this period, Jia Lian also reported to the Wucheng Army and Horses Division and became an officer of a hundred households. He was responsible for the security of several streets with more than a hundred subordinates all day long. and inspection work.

What Jia Yu didn't expect was that Jia Lian was extremely enthusiastic about his job in the Wucheng Military and Horse Division, and he was very happy walking around the streets every day.

This was something Jia Yu didn't expect. He didn't expect that the young master who usually only did nothing but drink and play with women in Rongguo Mansion would have this talent.

In the blink of an eye, it has been a hundred days since Yuanchun gave birth to her child.

Jia Yu held a banquet at Uncle Dingyuan's mansion and invited Jia's mother and other people from Ningrong's second mansion to the banquet.

At the banquet, everyone cheered and asked Jia Yu to name the child.

Jia Yu silently calculated in his mind that this child, like Jia Rong, belonged to the generation with a cursive character. After thinking about it, he named the child "昅".

After thinking about it, everyone thought it was feasible, so the name of Jia Yu's first child was decided.

"Jia Heng!"

Mother Jia picked up the child and kissed him again and again on his little face, with a look of joy on her face.

At this time, Wang Xifeng glanced at the crowd and saw Daiyu who was talking to Baochai and others. She rolled her eyes and immediately said with a smile: "Oh... what is our future Jiedushi Madam whispering to Sister Baochai? "

Caught off guard, Daiyu's pretty face suddenly turned red. She gave Wang Xifeng a hard look, but said with a faint smile: "Second sister-in-law Lian, you are so proud of yourself these days.

It's been more than three months, and you still haven't had enough of being an official wife? Are you trying to act like an official wife in front of Sister Bao and me? "

As expected of a person nicknamed Lin Duodong, Wang Xifeng, who was always eloquent, was so stunned that he was speechless for a while. Jia Mu and others who were watching on the side burst into laughter.

Everyone has seen Jia Lian's changes these days. Since he became the 100th household member of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division, he has been busy all day long leaving early and returning late.

However, once this person had something serious to do, his whole person also changed greatly. The childlike attitude of the past gradually disappeared and was replaced by competence and calmness.

Not only Jia Lian, but also Jia Huan.

Ever since he became a soldier with Jia Yu, he has been training, eating, and sleeping with the soldiers all day long. In the past, he was dissatisfied and resentful, always with his shoulders slumped. The faults were also corrected.

Sometimes, he occasionally went back to Rongguo Mansion to visit his mother on vacation. Aunt Zhao burst into tears looking at her son who had turned black and grown much stronger.

However, although Aunt Zhao had no eyesight, she also understood that her son would definitely be more successful by following Jia Yu than staying by her side, so she rarely said anything to ask Jia Huan to come back.

Of course, the changes in Jia Lian and Jia Huan cannot be hidden from everyone in the Jia family. Many people have begun to think about sending their sons to Jia Yu so that he can help train them and make a future by the way. Among them, Li white silk.
