Jinyi Mansion, official office
In the official hall, generals and commanders wearing flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists were waiting in line, talking in low voices, and the crowd was crowded.
"Liu Zhenfu, do you know why the governor asked us to come?" Gu Yunjin, a member of Qianhui in Jinyi, looked at Liu Jixian and asked.
There was a surge of jealousy in his heart. The Liu Jixian in front of him was just a member of the Hundred Household Trial. However, after following Uncle Yong Ning, he had a prosperous official career. , by the way, there is also Qu Lang, who went to Henan and is now the commander of Jinyi City.
It is true that one person has achieved enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
As an old man who followed Lu Tongzhi, if he had not made meritorious services, he might not even be able to keep his job at Qianhu now.
When Jia Heng was rectifying the 14,000 households in Jinyi Mansion, the five institutes and ten divisions that originally served as guards of honor for the palace did not make any major changes based on the consideration of not making Emperor Chongping suspicious.
The personnel of the six additional offices responsible for the six directions of investigation, as well as the three offices responsible for the field, horse army, and elephant training functions have been adjusted one after another.
The Fifth Office of Fusi in Beizhen is responsible for criminal charges, arrests of thieves, and arrests assigned by the capital and Jia Heng. In addition, the Secret Intelligence Department, the Military Intelligence Department and the Experience Department were added to the Jinyi Mansion as the secret service agencies directly under Jia Heng. The Secret Intelligence Department is responsible for spying on secrets and training personnel, while the Military Intelligence Department is in another channel that is different from the additional six agencies. Obtain military intelligence information to support each other.
It is equivalent to that the original five offices of Jinyi Mansion have been separated, and the real body of Jinyi Mansion has been established in another structure, that is, the Sixth Office is responsible for investigating crimes, and the East Division Office handles errands, while the West Division Office is also responsible for arresting thefts in all matters in the capital. Of course, any intelligence agency cannot be built without money.
Liu Jixian looked indifferent and said in a deep voice: "The Governor has just returned to the capital. He is asking questions as usual. When the Governor comes, it won't be too late to ask Qianhu again."
Since Jia Heng took over the Jinyi Mansion, Lieutenant Qiu was first "assigned" to Peiping and served as the deputy governor of the Peiping Dusi to spy on the enemies of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Later, Lu Jingyao was also dismissed for making mistakes in Yangzhou affairs. , was recently assigned to Jiangxi.
It can be said that Jia Heng, who was granted the title of First Class Uncle, has completely taken control of Jinyi Mansion. "My lord is here."
At this moment, the captain in Jinyi outside spoke loudly, and all the generals in Jinyi who had been discussing privately in the official hall fell silent.
Jia Heng, accompanied by Li Shu's retinue, walked into the official hall and sat behind the case with a golden sword.
Holding the Grand Master's chair with one hand, he glanced across a table at the group of generals and generals in brocade robes below. The scarlet robe and python suit worn by the boy in the python suit was beautifully woven and embroidered with silk threads. The wingless crown with a mountain shape was connected by two black ropes from the temples. A section of emerald beads is tied with a knot under the chin. His eyebrows are heroic and his eyes are cold.
"I have met the Governor in my humble position." The generals and commanders in Jinyi all bowed to the young man in the python suit. Jia Heng looked calm and said, "Everyone, please get up."
As he said that, he picked up the roster on the side and weighed it. He did not open it to read, but asked: "Before I went to Henan to quell the rebellion, I ordered Jin Yi to secretly investigate the status of the enemies in northern Xinjiang. Have you come to report? Xu Qianhu?"
In addition to Lan Qianhu, who had been interested in sending investigators to Liaodong since the first year of Chongping, there was also Xu Qianhu who was in charge of Liaodong affairs.
At this time, a young man wearing a flying fish uniform and a slight beard stepped out from the crowd and said with cupped hands: "Captain, this is the intelligence document from the past six months. Mr. Qiu, who serves as the deputy governor of the Economic Strategy and Marshal Department in Peking, also has intelligence. Send it."
At this time, Li Shu, a sword-wielding retinue in brocade robes beside Jia Heng, quickly walked a few steps forward, took the zhazi, bowed and handed it over, held it over his head with both hands, and said, "Captain."
Jia Heng took the note and started reading it. His eyes glanced at the text on it and he read it. Everyone below held their breath and concentrated, not daring to express their anger.
Jia Heng flipped through the papers and roughly sketched out the situation in his mind based on his understanding of the situation in the north since coming to this world.
Perhaps the Donglu did not destroy the Mongolian tribes and exerted overwhelming pressure on the Han Dynasty. Today, the Donglu did not change the name of the country, and still called the country Jin, and the characters were also specious. The slave chief Huang Taiji was fifty-six years old. , as I get older, I become more and more eager to achieve success, and I often have the ambition to enter the country.
thing
In fact, the Chen and Han dynasties followed the example of the former Ming Dynasty and ruled the world through Taizu Dingding and Taizong. In the two dynasties, famous generals emerged in large numbers with outstanding martial arts, and they continued to attack and expel the Mongolian forces.
During the Longzhi period, the Houjinnu chiefs still helped Chen Han to contain the Mongolian tribes. In the 27th year of Longzhi, a great defeat occurred and the Han territories outside the Pass were lost, completely shattering the diorama of the Han Dynasty's prosperity.
After that, the slave chiefs quickly gained momentum. In order to solve their worries, they first conquered North Korea and then successively conquered several tribes in Monan Mongolia, which relieved some of their worries.
During this period, Chen Hanchaotang fell into a huge crisis after the defeat.
During the twelve years of Emperor Longzhi, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to mention regaining Liaodong. They could only win over the remaining Mongolian forces through differentiation, such as supporting Lin Dan Khan, and now his son Ezhe serves as a buffer. However, in the face of the rise of Hou Jin, The situation is overwhelming and we are tired of dealing with it.
During the more than ten years of Emperor Chongping's reign, the first few years were spent consolidating imperial power, fighting for power with the Supreme Emperor, and gradually using the three parties to control the government. After that, they were tired of dealing with internal affairs, and continued to use barbarians to control barbarians as a national policy. The strategy of containment in the east and defense in the west, the borderline was completely shrunk, exhausted by natural disasters, and the relationship with Chahar Mongolia was also quite stiff later on.
At the critical moment when the army was ready for military training, Jia Heng's soul returned to this world, took over the banner of Wang Ziteng, and put a brake on Chen Han's broken car.
It's not like the original work of Red Mansions, where there are bandits inside and Tartars outside. You sing and I come on stage, but I just make wedding clothes for others, the fate of "family death and blood history".
Jia Heng pondered for a moment, put down the note in his hand, and said: "Xu Qianhu, we still need to send more detectives, especially to spy on the movements of the Chahar Mongols. In addition, we need to set up files on the princes of the Eastern Lu, Baylor, and the banner owners. It is necessary to record the record, and at the same time, the life, family background, character, and family members of the Han generals who betrayed and surrendered to the enemy must be carefully understood, and the intelligence work must be meticulous, so that there will be more chances of winning in the future!" According to the experience of the previous life! From some memories, he always felt that Chahar Mongolia might be a little unreliable. If Chahar Mongolia secretly communicated with the Donglu, it would be possible to use the channel to threaten the Datong military town, and then the whole situation of the northern invaders would be changed. A sudden change, it really becomes a double ghost knocking on the door.
The man whose surname was Xu Qianhu and whose name was Xu Zhao did not dare to be negligent when he heard this. He raised his hands and said: "Yes, I accept the order from my humble position." Jia Heng looked at Liu Jixian and said: "If there is not enough manpower, we will transfer people from other departments. Now There is no urgent matter in all directions, but the Northern Capture is a serious matter, and the guards of the Jinyi Mansion must make this matter their top priority."
Liu Jixian cupped his hands and said, "I understand this humble position."
Jia Heng said: "I will take this Xu Qianhu with me later, and I will give him instructions in person." It can be said that intelligence work requires some ideas.
After that, Jia Heng asked several other Jinyi Qianhu, the situation in Beijing and the surrounding areas in recent months, and got to know the trends in the Han provinces.
In fact, it's not a big deal. In the northwest, the prince of Xining County seems to have relapsed from an old injury and is looking for an imperial doctor for treatment.
Jia Heng secretly wrote down this matter, and then went to the study to inquire about the movements of Zhao Yi and others who were going to Haojing. Several people went to Haojing to introduce red cannons. They had already found the artillery factory and were negotiating with people.
At around noon, Jia Heng finished his routine questioning, then left Jinyi Mansion and returned to Ningguo Mansion.
Ningguo Mansion
Jia Heng left Jinyi Mansion and returned to the outer study. He sat down behind the desk and thought about Donglu.
After thinking for a while, he took out a map from the closet behind him. With the rustling sound of his palms rubbing on the light yellow paper, the map of Liaodong came into view.
"The Donglu occupied Liaodong, and they used the Mongolian Mongolia as their wings. If they attack and we defend, the entire Yan Dynasty may be invaded... It's easy to be exhausted." Jia Heng looked at the map, and his heart couldn't help but surge. A bit solemn.
"Can the reorganized Beijing camp fight against the Donglu? We can't say yet. It depends on whether the Donglu invade this year or later next spring." Jia Heng's face was as dark as water, his eyes were deep, and he felt a Faint pressure is coming from all directions.
It can be said that today's Chen Han, in addition to Li Zan, the Minister of War, has become the first person responsible for the war against the captives. All civil and military officials in the dynasty are waiting for his first battle against the captives.
If he gets off to a good start and wins, it is almost conceivable that he will win in Chongqing.
Ping Yichao just walked sideways, and since then the Jia family has been rich and powerful for more than ten years. Even if the new king comes to the throne, he can't do without him.
"There is no room for loss in this battle! As the saying goes, the one with more temples will win. We need to prepare in advance. If we don't go south, we need to go to Haojing in person and introduce red cannons into the Han Dynasty in large quantities to increase the defensive firepower of the city. These... are inseparable from a large amount of money." Jia Heng looked silent, thinking.
He could not stay in the capital for too long. He had to go south as soon as possible to organize the salt affairs to raise military expenses, and then go north to investigate border affairs. He needed to go to Peiping, Datong, Taiyuan and other places for on-site visits.
We cannot passively wait for police to arrive at the border before sending troops to help.
"I'll talk to the sage about this later." Jia Heng exhaled, planning to go into the palace to meet the sage later.
While she was thinking about it, she heard the bead curtain clattering. Qingwen opened the bead curtain and entered the hall. She said playfully: "Sir, Princess Beijing and Princess Chu are coming to the back house to visit grandma. .”
Jia Heng's eyes flashed and he asked, "People from the Zhen family? What are they doing here?"
Qingwen said: "I don't know about that. Anyway, when the young master is not at home, Princess Beijing often comes to visit."
Jia Heng picked up the tea cup, lowered his head and took a sip, and said, "I know, I'll go take a look later." At this moment, in the backyard, Princess Chu Zhen Qing and Beijing Princess Zhen Xue were sitting under Qin Keqing. Because of the close relationship between Zhen and Jia's family, and the fact that Jia Heng was away from home, the two sisters visited frequently, and they seemed quite close on the surface.
The two Zhen sisters, one wearing a long vermilion dress and the other wearing a plain dress, are sitting on an embroidered pier and are talking to Qin Keqing. The two sisters are beautiful in appearance and gentle in temperament, like graceful lotuses standing side by side.
"Brothers and sisters, why don't you see Brother Heng?" Zhen Qingfeng's eyes flashed and she asked softly. "Husband, he went to the Yamen early in the morning to ask questions." Qin Keqing said softly.
Hearing this, Zhen Qing smiled and said, "No wonder Brother Heng was granted the title of first-class uncle at a young age. Within a few days after returning, he was busy with official duties and didn't take a few days to rest?"
Qin Keqing said softly: "My husband can't sit still at home. Whenever he has free time, he goes to the Yamen. Is there something wrong with Princess Chu?"
Zhen Jing took her sister Zhen Xue's hand, sighed softly, and said, "I'm not afraid of my siblings' jokes. This is not my brother-in-law. He is the Minister of Military Aircraft in the Military Aircraft Department. He took an errand from the palace and went to Datong." , Taiyuan organized the army, but it has been more than half a year in the past. I heard that Baolinghou and Nan'an King had also returned with an order that day. Now, what is the situation of my brother-in-law, which makes my sister miss me a lot. "
After checking the vacancies in the Beijing camp and reorganizing them, the original imperial court sent Nan'an County Prince and Baolinghou to Ningxia, Guyuan and other towns to check the border and reorganize the army. So far, "the results are remarkable" and they are already on their way back to resume their duties.
After all, the Prince of Beijing was young, and he was helpless in the military towns of Datong and Taiyuan, as if he were welded there. As time passed, Princess Zhen Xue of Beijing began to miss him, and after talking to Zhen Qing, she came to the Jia Mansion to inquire.
Zhen Xue's face was pale and worried, and she said softly: "Brothers and sisters, the prince and Ziyu are both at the military aircraft department as the minister of military aircraft. Does Ziyu know what's going on? Why hasn't the prince come back yet?"
"That's what I meant, and I wanted to ask why. Our prince is currently supervising the construction of the imperial mausoleum in Weinan, so it's not easy to inquire. Besides, it's not easy to inquire about such important military and state affairs as it involves the imperial affairs. "Zhen Qing, Princess of Chu, said while beating a drum.
This beauty, with her dazzling melon-seed face, has a bit more gorgeous makeup than before. Under her willow-leaf eyebrows, her narrow, clear phoenix eyes are even more rosy-red eye shadow.
Qin Keqing said softly: "Two princesses, I don't know the details of these matters in the court. I still need to ask my husband."
"Well, just ask Brother Heng." Zhen Qing said softly and asked: "It's been almost noon, Brother Heng should be back, right?"
Just at this moment, a nun came into the inner hall and said, "Grandma, Uncle Heng is back." As soon as these words came out, the two Zhen sisters were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other with joy in their eyes.
While he was talking, the boy in python suit had already opened the curtain and entered the inner hall. He looked at the group of people and asked, "What are you doing today, the two princesses?"
What free time? "
Zhen Qing stood up quickly, her buttocks as round and soft as a millstone, and left the pear wood chair. Her beautiful face was filled with smiles, and the young woman Huaxin's voice was pretty and gentle, like an oriole coming out of the valley: " Brother Heng, my sister and I came here to ask Uncle Heng about a court matter."
Jia Heng sat down and took a look at Zhen Xue, who had a gentle look and a soft voice and said in a clear voice: "Princess, what's the matter in the court? If it involves government affairs, I'm afraid I just returned to Beijing and I don't know the details."
Before Zhen Qing could speak about the important issues, Qin Keqing took over the conversation and said softly: "Husband, this is a matter in Sister Zhen Xue's family."
With that, he recounted the story of King Beijing arranging military equipment in Datong and Taiyuan military towns, but had not yet returned.
Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue had previously helped Qin Keqing by saying something when they were facing Princess Nan'an, and the kind-hearted beauty also had some intention of repaying her.
Facing Zhen Xue's expectant gaze, Jia Heng said thoughtfully, "It's been half a year since Prince Beijing went to check the border. Why is there no news?"
Zhen Xue Wanli's beautiful face was covered with a layer of worry, she pursed her pink lips, and sighed faintly: "There is no letter. I haven't received a letter for half a year. I don't know how the prince is doing in the border town." .”
Jia Heng frowned slightly and asked, "Have any official documents or memorials been delivered to Shenjing City recently?"
Zhen Xue shook her head gently, licked her lips to moisten her lips, and said softly: "I heard that the Prince of Nan'an County and Marquis Baoling are coming back soon. For some reason, things are not going well with the Prince. , I am a woman, and I don’t know what is going on in the court.”
Princess Chu Zhen Qing's beautiful eyes sparkled and she asked, "Brother Heng, what's going on? Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe he was tied up because of the army."
After all, King Beijing was young. When dealing with those generals and soldiers, he might not be able to withstand their deception and fooling. I think it was for this reason that he had no success for a long time.
Just as Jia Heng guessed, after King Beijing went to Datong Military Town, he also devoted himself to eliminating the old and weak and checking for vacancies. Unfortunately, there was no progress in facing the Datong generals who were holding a group.
Perhaps because of Jia Heng's stimulation, King Beijing became unconvinced again. He had several confrontations with the generals from Datong and Taiyuan Military Town, and was gradually welded to the border town.
"What should we do? If things don't go well, can we let the prince return to the capital first?" Zhen Xueming's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and she said softly.
Jia Heng's mind was spinning, and he had already made a guess. He raised his eyes to look at the charming young woman Hua Xin, and said softly: "Don't worry, Princess. I'll ask someone to check back and see what's going on first. If he is indeed tied up, the imperial court will send other important officials to Datong to assist in reorganizing the army."
There are two border towns in Datong and Taiyuan. Previously, he was worried that something might happen to the Chahar Mongolian tribe, which would cause the police in the two border towns to be in danger. Even if it was not because of King Beijing, he still needed to investigate.
When Zhen Xue heard that Jia Heng sent someone to inquire, her delicate body trembled slightly, and her heart surged with joy. Under Chunshan's dark eyebrows, she looked at the young man opposite with grateful eyes and said, "Zi Yu, you are so beautiful." Thanks."
When Jia Heng heard the name "Zi Yu", he looked at the young woman with snow-skinned face, red lips and pink face, and his eyebrows were filled with joy. A warm and gentle aura overflowed from the corner of his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart, and said: " There is no need to be polite, Princess. The imperial court's ordering of the border troops and the consolidation of frontier defenses are related to the military and national affairs, so they cannot be ignored. Moreover, military affairs in the military towns of Datong and Taiyuan are now sluggish. As the Minister of Military Aircraft, I must pay attention to them."
Listening to what Jia Heng said, Zhen Qing especially caught the weirdness in Jia Heng's expression. Her phoenix eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "Sister, let me tell you. Brother Heng will not ignore it."
Zhen Xuejing nodded, and under her curved eyebrows, her soft and beautiful eyes showed a look of gratitude.
When Qin Keqing saw that several people had discussed the matter, he smiled brightly and said, "Husband, since it's settled, it's already noon, it's time to have some lunch."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'm really hungry now that I'm talking."
