Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 155 Court Meeting
An area was divided into the West Camp of the Beijing Camp, where more than two hundred sergeants lived.

Publicly speaking, this is where Jia Qiang's personal guards are located.

But no one would have thought that the number of warriors in this small personal guard exceeded the apparent number of warriors in the Grand Army.

This will be Jia Qiang's hidden method, and together with the two guards commanders Zang Feiyu and Wu Zicang, he will have complete control of the West Camp.

He did not control the souls of ordinary soldiers. Ordinary soldiers had no value.

The 264 personal guards are completely capable of defeating an enemy that is a hundred times and a thousand times more powerful than themselves. The ordinary soldiers of the two guards are vulnerable to them.

What Jia Qiang needs to consider is preparing equipment for the 264 personal guards.

The armor is better. The Jingying camp is the best-equipped Daqian army, and the armors in the two guards' warehouses are enough for the guards.

Just for the weapons used by warriors, you need to find a way to obtain them.

The rest of the weapons are okay. Even the big guns used by the heroes can still be obtained if you think about it.

But the treasure bow is difficult. Only the royal family can make the treasure bow.

The year-end court meeting has the largest number of people attending the court in a year. Officials of sixth grade or above in Beijing and officials from all over the country who come to Beijing to report all come to participate.

This is why whenever he practices, he has Jia Kingang guard him.

This made the officials who were still waiting for inspection look sideways, but when they saw the second-grade military attaché robe on him, they had no doubts.

There are 264 warrior-level personal guards. This kind of force is enough to break through the palace guards at any time in the capital.

Jia Qiang recognized this person as King Beijing.

"King Zhongshun was wrong. This is a young talent named Jia Qiang and Jia Hou!" said another clear voice.

Jia Qiang is practicing 'Maitreya Meditation'. His consciousness cannot detect what is happening in the outside world, but Jia Kingang can remind him through a special connection.

Jia Qiang put on the robe of a second-grade military attache, put Jia Jinguang into the inventory when no one was paying attention, and then rode towards the palace on horseback.

He had been a second-class guard in the East Palace for a long time, and he was very familiar with the palace.

"Are you Jia Qiang? I have wanted to talk to you for a long time, but I have been unable to see you. Today I finally saw you!" King Zhongshun changed his attitude and said in a very friendly tone.

He looked at the sky and saw that the morning star was still on. From his feeling, it was at least an hour before the sun would come out.

And Jia Qiang would never let Emperor Jingwen or the Supreme Emperor know that he had such a personal guard, otherwise no matter how much Emperor Jingwen trusted him, he would not tolerate his existence.

"I've met King Zhongshun, I've met King Beijing, I've met all of you sirs!" Jia Qiang was secretly vigilant in her heart, but on the surface he saluted the two princes, and then went to the surrounding ministers, whether they knew them or not. One by one, they cupped their fists and made a bow.

Jia Qiang slowly stopped the 'Maitreya Meditation', got up from the bed and opened the door.

He is qualified to enter the Jiuqing room to wait for the court meeting at the end of the year, but not as a second-grade military attache. This status does not qualify him to enter here.

When he came to the palace gate, the palace guards recognized him and would not stop him.

As for Jia Qiang, who had also taken refuge with Emperor Jingwen and made great achievements, King Zhongshun had heard of her for a long time but rarely saw her.

This time, he chose to be a second-grade military attache. He could not wear the ceremonial uniform of a super-grade marquis to meet his boss. He had not met this boss yet. It would be embarrassing if his title was not as good as his own. .

Since he needs to practice the 'Taixu Sutra' and 'Maitreya Zen Relief', his bedroom no longer needs the services of Jade and Qin'er.

Most of these officials were unable to enter the Jinluan Palace and could only stand outside the palace.

"Look, did this person come to the wrong place?" Jia Qiang heard a teasing voice just after entering Jiu Qing's room.

Jia Jingang, who was guarding outside the main hall, heard Jade's voice and notified Jia Qiang, who was in a state of cultivation.

It's not that more than two hundred powerful personal guards can protect him, but no matter how powerful he is, he can't rely on one person to protect the people he cares about at all times.

Jia Qiang has two choices when attending the court meeting. One is to participate as a super-grade marquis, and he needs to side with the lord.

As for the great court meeting at the end of the year, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Camp had to attend. This was also the first time that the deputy commander-in-chief met his boss.

Jia Qiang couldn't help but patted her head. During this period of time, she was busy studying and helping her bodyguards practice during the day. At night, she practiced the 'Taixu Sutra' and 'Maitreya Meditation'. She didn't even need to sleep. This made him They all forgot about the year-end court meeting.

He did not attend the previous monthly court meetings. He took over the West Camp newly and had to prepare for next year's exam. He explained the situation in a note, and Emperor Jingwen exempted him from the court meeting before the exam.

"Master, you forgot that today is the day of the year-end court meeting!" Jade said softly.

Jia Qiang entered the Jiuqing Room, where important officials waited to go to court.

After accidentally discovering the function of the 'Feng Yue Bao Jian', and after a month of busy work, Jia Qiang felt a sense of security in this world.

Among the powerful general-level personal guards, ten powerful general-level personal guards were arranged to take turns stationed in Jiahou's mansion.

However, this does not include the end-of-year imperial meeting, when the Jingying Jiedushi, that is, the Datong leader, will return to the capital to celebrate the New Year.

With more than two hundred powerful generals as bodyguards, it is different. Without the intervention of immortals, these two hundred powerful generals are invincible in Daqian.

There are too many officials of sixth rank and above in the capital. There is a dense crowd of officials wearing official robes in front of the palace gate.

The second is to participate from the second-rank Jing camp commander, and he wants to side with the general.

The relationship between King Zhongshun and Emperor Jingwen was very good, and he was considered the one with the highest status on Emperor Jingwen's side.

The status of a super-grade marquis is what allows him to enter the Jiuqing room. The officials who can enter here are either distinguished or high-ranking courtiers.

"Master!" Before dawn, Jade's voice came from outside the bedroom.

They are absolutely loyal. With them in the house, no matter what happens, at least they can protect the women in the house and leave safely.

He looked over and saw a middle-aged man wearing royal robes.

"Thank you, King Zhongshun, for your care!" Jia Qiang replied with a smile.

He looked at King Beijing and saw a cold light flashing in King Beijing's eyes, but it quickly disappeared and returned to his gentle and elegant look.

"I heard that Jiahou is a warrior but he is Xiwen. He still wants to take part in the examination next year?" King Beijing asked.

His words made all the officials present look at Jia Qiang. The civil servants were very disdainful of the vulgar warrior who wanted to be civilized, while the military attache seemed to have seen a traitor among them.

"I started studying literature and martial arts at the same time when I was twelve years old. Now I ask myself whether my martial arts is useful, and Wen Ze has won the imperial examination in Jinling. According to King Beijing, is it possible that civil and martial arts should be distinguished?" Jia Qiang He asked calmly.

There are some things that can be done but not said, such as civil and military disputes in the court.

"King Beijing, so are you. Jia Qiang is only fifteen years old. You still restrict whether he can practice martial arts or write?" King Zhongshun said helpfully.

Only then did all the ministers in Jiuqing's room remember that Jia Qiang in front of them was only fifteen years old. To reach such a status at this young age, how can such a genius be regarded by ordinary people.

King Beijing smiled slightly and said no more.

At his status, he would not end up on his own. The reason why he spoke today was because he couldn't help it after seeing Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang ruined many of his plans. Perhaps Jia Qiang herself didn't know it, but King Beijing hated Jia Qiang deeply.

The atmosphere in Jiuqing's room returned to its previous state as King Beijing stopped talking, and the officials began to whisper among themselves.

Jia Qiang glanced around and found a middle-aged man wearing a second-grade military attaché robe. He walked over with a smile.

"I've met Mr. Wang!" He bowed and saluted.

"You should call me Uncle Wang Shi!" Wang Ziteng looked at Jia Qiang and returned the salute with the same smile.

"Let's call him Mr. Wang. I don't have that close relationship with Mr. Wang!" Jia Qiang shook her head and said.

"The Jia and Wang families are family friends..." Wang Ziteng was halfway through his words when Jia Qiang waved his hand to stop him.

"I am the Jia family in Yangzhou and have nothing to do with the Jia family in the capital!" Jia Qiang explained with a smile.

Wang Ziteng sighed secretly in his heart. Although he was on patrol some time ago, he was very concerned about Jia Qiang.

Although Jia Qiang was a member of Emperor Jingwen and a minister of the Supreme Emperor, the relationship between the Jia and Wang families made them natural allies.

Although Wang Ziteng controls the capital camp and even has the responsibility of patrolling the border according to orders, it can be said that he has great power in the palace, but the young Jia Qiang has suddenly emerged and has huge potential.

If we can make friends with Jia Qiang as a family friend, then in the next few decades, the Wang family will have an important ally.

But looking at the current situation, it might be difficult to make friends with Jia Qiang.

Although he has power and is Jia Qiang's boss, he cannot suppress Jia Qiang.

Of the nine guards in the capital camp, Jia Qiang alone was in charge of two guards. Due to Emperor Jingwen, he could not insert his hands into the two guards in the west camp.

"I heard that you have been of great help to the Xue family in Jinling. I would like to thank you on behalf of my sister!" How could Wang Ziteng give up so easily? He continued.

His meaning is very clear. If Jia Qiang does not recognize the Jia family in the capital, she must recognize the Xue family in Jinling.

Mrs. Xue of Jinling's Xue family is Wang Ziteng's sister, so she can still build a relationship through this relationship.

"Master Wang, there is no need to be so polite!" Jia Qiang replied with a smile.

He had a nice attitude, but seemed distant.

He had no grudge against Wang Ziteng, but their positions were different, and he didn't want to get too involved with this one.

He knew the fate of Wang Ziteng. Even though Wang Ziteng was rising rapidly, his power would become stronger and stronger.

Jia Qiang knew his situation. He had become a super-grade marquis at a young age. From a second-grade military attache, it would be impossible for him to be promoted without great merit.

What he has to do now is to be stable and maintain the current situation, rather than making friends with other officials.

Wang Ziteng saw that Jia Qiang had no intention of making friends, so he thought of visiting Jia's house later to discuss Jia Qiang's affairs with Jia's mother.

He will not give up Jia Qiang easily. Jia Qiang himself does not know how many people want to make friends with Jia Qiang now.

In a corner of Jiuqing's room, six people were sitting. They were watching the conversation between Jia Qiang and Wang Ziteng with cold eyes.

"A good son from the Jia family was kicked out of the Jia family by Jia Zhen. How could such a talent come from the Jia family!" First-class Bo Niu Jizong shook his head and sighed.

"Among the younger generations like me, no one can compare with him!" First Class Liu Fang said.

The other lords nodded in agreement, let alone the younger generations. Except for a few deceased old princes, none of them could compare with Jia Qiang.

The eighth prince's family no longer has the title of super-grade marquis. Let's look at Jia Qiang, who single-handedly won the title of super-grade marquis.

"It would be great if he appeared in my house!" Niu Jizong felt very regretful in his tone.

Although Zhenguo Gongfu has trained younger generations to take over, they are far behind Jia Qiang.

Seeing that such a young Jia Qiang had already surpassed them in title, Niu Jizong had the idea of ​​going back and whipping his son to death.

The civil servants were also looking at Jia Qiang.

Civil servants with knowledge of the matter have already told the story that Jia Qiang won Yayuan in the Jinling Township Examination, and that a northern student won second place in the Jiangnan Township Examination, which shows how knowledgeable Jia Qiang is.

As the drums sounded, the officials in Jiuqing's room began to move towards the Jinluan Palace.

Although this was the first time for Jia Qiang to go to court as a second-grade military attache, he had protected Emperor Jingwen in court many times before.

He knew the rules, so he followed Wang Ziteng.

Only about a hundred officials were able to enter the Jinluan Palace, and the rest of the officials stood in the square outside the Jinluan Palace.

The main purpose of the meeting is for officials to report on their work for the year, which seems quite boring.

Jia Qiang didn't pay attention to these, they had nothing to do with him.

Just when he thought nothing happened without him, a fourth-grade official suddenly walked out of the queue.

"Your Majesty, Ji Ju, joined Jia Qiang and Jia Hou violated the ancestral system and tampered with the training of the capital camp. Such behavior will weaken the capital camp and be unable to defend the capital. This is a serious crime!" The man said loudly.

This is the end of the year meeting, and few officials will impeach others on such occasions. The main reason is that the impact is too great, and no matter whether it succeeds or not, they will form a mortal enemy.

All the officials in the Jinluan Palace looked at the overly young figure. There were sarcasm in their eyes, some rejoicing in others' misfortune, and some looking on with cold eyes.

Jia Qiang's perception is so sensitive that he can sense the complex emotions contained in the eyes of the officials.

He was shocked to find that among these eyes, only a few civil officials looked worried, and the rest of the officials did not care about his life or death.

Jia Qiang didn't panic at all, he just stood there calmly.

Emperor Jingwen looked at Ji Ju with anger rising in his heart.

Jia Qiang had only returned to Beijing for two or three months after making great achievements. Even if there were problems with the training in the Beijing camp, it was the first time that Jia Qiang was in charge of the army and did not understand the situation.

But Ji Ju proposed this at the year-end court meeting, but he wanted to put Jia Qiang to death.

Jia Qiang is his, and if Ji Ju joins Jia Qiang, it is like challenging him. If Ji Ju succeeds, even if Jia Qiang only gets a little reprimand, it will make him lose face.
