The Tatars in the eighth year of Yuanyou had a very special position for the Great Xia court.
First of all, he was not an enemy on the surface, because the old Tatar Khan "died" of illness at the end of the autumn of the previous year, and his eldest son Suhe took the initiative to request the imperial court for canonization after inheriting the throne.
The emperor followed the old system and granted him the title of Prince of Baoyi County, commanding the seventy-two Tatar tribes.
Therefore, in name, the Tatars at this time were a vassal state belonging to Daxia and ruled by His Majesty Tian Khan, just like after the great victory of the sage Master's fifth northern expedition in Zhaowu year.
But precisely because of this, the imperial court lost a good opportunity to completely conquer the Tatars in terms of justice, and it was inconvenient to be timid in many things.
For example, after Oara became the Anbei Protectorate of Daxia, the Tatars became more submissive and made the court feel like they had swallowed a live fly. They couldn't swallow it and couldn't spit it out. It was so uncomfortable!
It's obviously fat meat that's been delivered to your mouth. You can see it but not eat it. Don't you think it's irritating?
The most uncomfortable thing is that the adults of the Ministry of Rites were unable to free their hands due to civil strife, so they suppressed their nausea and signed a mutual trade agreement with them. Now it's better. Now that the Xuanfu has come out with fools like Qi Guoliang, the Tatars can arrogantly extend their hands. Came to the important town of Xuanfu.
There are more than 10,000 so-called merchants. Only a ghost can believe that there is nothing fishy in this.
After hearing what Jia Cong asked, the coldness on Mr. Lian's face was almost as cold as the ice and snow outside.
It took a long time before he said something coldly: "Your Majesty asked me to take care of it myself. You can leave this matter alone..."
If we say who has the best heart among Ning and Rong, apart from Baoyu's natural softness and temperament, Jia Cong has always felt that his second brother Jia Lian is the most kind-hearted person.
How kind is Mr. Lian?
When Shi DaZi offended Mr. Pardon because of a fan, it was Brother Lian who secretly sent someone to save him.
Moreover, even if Mr. Lian is a prostitute, he always pays for it and never bullies those poor people.
But if you only think that Mr. Lian is a handsome person and has a kind heart, you are totally wrong.
Jia Lian, the successor of Rongguo Mansion, inherited the iron-blooded side of Rongguo Dukes from all previous generations.
Be ruthless to yourself, and even ruthless to your enemies!
The emperor wanted to uphold the "benevolence, justice and morality" of the Celestial Empire, and could not deal with his vassal country openly and honestly.
But Second Master Lian was different. He could tell the emperor's true thoughts from just a few words of the emperor: Kill!
Regardless of whether there are innocent people among the more than 10,000 so-called merchants. As the northern gate of Gyeonggi Province, the important town of Xuanfu is absolutely not allowed to allow Tatars who are familiar with the defense situation in the city to escape alive.
Taking the blame for the emperor was something his grandfather, Jia Daishan, the Rong King, had done before, and his father, Rong Guo Gong Jia She, had done it before. Now it was his turn, Jia Lian, to do it.
As for those who kill too much and will be impeached, the worst they can do is go home for a year or two. Anyway, as long as the emperor still believes in honoring the country, the future is not a matter of imperial edict?
However, this matter can only begin after the third brother Jia Cong leaves the Xuan Mansion. The Jia family must maintain the reputation of Xiao San'er as a clean person.
God of Death, God of Demons, etc., Jia Lian is enough.
Second Master Lian looked like he was keeping secrets. He did not tell Jia Cong clearly. Instead, he changed the topic and continued: "After the matter in Xuanfu is finished, you rush to Hejian Mansion as soon as possible. Xia Ge Lao went to Shandong for inspection. Your Majesty is worried that someone will do harm to his old man, so he asked you to wait at Hejian Mansion, ready to rush to Lu for help at any time."
"Oh? Are you still planning to take action against Mr. Xia Ge?"
Sure enough, Jia Cong was attracted by the news and forgot to continue asking.
Jia Lian nodded and explained: "The Gyeonggi area will be frightened by Mr. Zhou Ge's thunderous tactics. For a while, no one will dare to tease the tiger's beard. But Shandong is different. Without the tiger of the Kong family, All kinds of monsters and monsters have emerged, and they all want to compete for the position of the No. 1 family in Shandong. So..."
"I understand, whoever can force Elder Xia Ge to retire will be qualified to lead the major families in Shandong and become the number one family in Shandong."
The Kong family in Qufu was deprived of the title of Yanshenggong by the imperial court, and was suppressed in the small Qufu County with numerous beatings.
Kong lost his deer, and Shandong chased it away.
Shandong has been very lively in the past two years.
Now that the Summer Festival has entered Shandong, it is like throwing a spark into a fierce fire. I don't know how big the fire will be.
The emperor was worried that the fire had gone too far and that Xia Lingxing, who was a civil servant, was being fished in troubled waters, so he ordered Jia Lian to tell the little demon king Jia Cong to go south as soon as possible after inspecting the north, and stationed in Hejian Mansion adjacent to Shandong, ready to rush to Shandong at any time.
Jia Lian didn't want his younger brother to be implicated by him and have a bad reputation of being a murderer, so he changed his original plan and asked him to go to Hejian Mansion first.
We are going to go anyway, it doesn't matter if we go one step early or one step later.
…
Xuanfu is the northern gate of Gyeonggi Province and one of the important towns on the nine sides. The importance the imperial court attaches to it can be seen just from its administrative setup.
The person with the highest official rank and the most power in the city is Qi Guoliang, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town. He is of the first rank and is in charge of the military and political affairs of Xuanfu Town.
The second-ranked person was neither Deputy Chief Military Officer Ma Ruhan nor Xuanfu Magistrate Du Zhi, but Qianhu Chai Chengxuan, the fifth-rank Dragon Imperial Guard of Xuanfu Town.
Even though Chai Chengxuan was only a fifth-rank official, the fifth-rank Long Imperial Guard actually served thousands of households. In the three-thirds of an acre of Xuan Mansion, his power was second only to the commander-in-chief Qi Guoliang and the irregular military supervisor.
In order to win over Chai Chengxuan, Qi Guoliang gave 15% of the profits gained by the Xuanfu directly to Qianhu, the Dragon Guard who was responsible for monitoring the situation in the Xuanfu. Therefore, Chai Chengxuan can be said to be the second richest person in the Xuanfu today. .
How inhumane is it?
The two Jia Lian brothers stood in front of the gate of Chai Chengxuan's Xuan Mansion, just like standing in front of the palace of a second-generation emperor.
In addition to some reservations in regulations, Chai Chengxuan basically built himself a prince's palace in Xuanfu.
"Damn it, is this guy really Qianhu of the Dragon Imperial Guard? Where is his brain?"
Jia Cong's shock could only be answered by a few low whimpers. The Dragon Guard guarding the gate had long been gagged and tied up by the masters of the Imperial Guard brought by Mr. Lian.
"Let's get to work. How can our Shiba Qianhu still have any brains? I'm afraid his brains have been chewed clean by the female goblin!"
Second brother Lian remembered the information Jia Cong had said about Chai Chengxuan spending a lot of money to show off his wealth. I am afraid that the prudentness of a dragon guard has been worn away by the beauty of money, otherwise he would not be so brainless as to show off his wealth blatantly.
Apart from a few sentry posts in the open, there were not even any hidden guards outside Chai Mansion. The imperial army surrounded him almost effortlessly, until Jia Lian broke in and came to the door of Chai Chengxuan's bedroom. The Qianhu master was still in a drunken state and was unaware of it.
Bang!
The soldier kicked open the bedroom door, and a biting cold wind blew in, driving away the warmth brought by the stove.
The two entangled naked bodies trembled almost at the same time, and opened their eyes in unison.
"Dear me, which turtle-grandson disturbed my sleep?"
Chai Chengxuan, who had just woken up from sleep, would never have thought that there would be someone in Xuanfu who would dare to offend him and act recklessly in his house.
Under the bright torch, Jia Lian, who was wearing a purple python robe, had a cold face, and said only one sentence in a cold tone, completely waking him up from the dazed state of being drunk.
"I, the Commander of the Right Wei Guard, Jia Lian of Rongguo, have been ordered to capture Xuanfu Zhenlong Imperial Guard Qianhu Chai Chengxuan..."
…
If you want to successfully control the Xuan Mansion and capture all the guilty officials in the city, you must get rid of these people's informants as quickly as possible, and the Dragon Guards are a force that cannot be ignored.
Based on the list of Longjin guards and secret agents obtained from the Chai family, Jia Lian uprooted the open and hidden stakes inside and outside the Xuan Mansion overnight.
The Dragon Guards of the Xuan Mansion have become rotten. Everyone was dazzled by the white money and forgot their identity and responsibilities. From the eyes of the imperial court to the eyes of the opposition, Jia Lian, as the former Dragon Guards The Governor of Wei Town knows very well how harmful the Dragon Guard will be after it has deteriorated.
Therefore, after he entered the city and exchanged information with Jia Cong, he struck the Dragon Guard with his first sword.
With lightning speed, he controlled the Longjing Guard Qianhu Station, cut off the connection between the inside and outside of the Xuan Mansion and the Qianhu Station, and then uprooted the exposed and hidden stakes everywhere overnight.
After Chai Mansion was occupied by Jia Lianjiu, Jia Cong quickly returned to the General Military Mansion. According to Jia Lian's arrangement, he secretly arranged his troops and waited for the generals in the city to gather at the General Military Mansion. Send down all the generals of Xuanfu.
Qi Guoliang still didn't know that the second master Lian of Rongguo Mansion, whom he feared, was already sharpening his sword. He got up early in the morning, finished his breakfast, and leisurely came to the main hall of the General Military Mansion, waiting for the generals in the city to see him.
Just after about 6 o'clock, more than 20 generals of all sizes had gathered in the main hall of the General Military Mansion, including the deputy generals, the commanders of the three guards of Xuanfu, the Tongzhi, and the prefect of Xuanfu had all arrived.
These people had followed Qi Guoliang in their greed for money and meat. They had long regarded Xuan Mansion as their cornucopia and would not allow others to get involved.
This time the imperial court sent a young kid to patrol. At first they were afraid of Jia Cong's reputation for being both civil and military, but these days they saw that Jia Cong was just having fun and doing nothing, so they slowly lost their guard.
Today, as usual, I came to the General Military Mansion to pay homage to the superior officer. Everyone was beaming with joy, because the day of distributing money was coming again, so how could they not be happy.
"Hey, why hasn't Chai Qianhu arrived yet?"
"Perhaps that girl Yuanyuan is still in bed and hasn't woken up..."
"Hey, don't mention it. Mrs. Chen, who spent a lot of money to bring home Chai Qianhu, is really a good character. If my tigress hadn't come here recently, I wouldn't have been able to compete with him. What a pity!"
"It's just a few thousand taels of silver, just sprinkle it with water!"
"What Brother Mou said is that we don't lack that little money now. When my tigress returns to the capital, my brothers will come with me to Baihua Tower. I'll treat you!"
"Baihua Tower is a great place. I heard that there are women from the Rakshasa, Goryeo, and Japanese countries there. We are all generals of the country. We will not have to deal with these people in the future. It would be good to learn the language of the barbarians, hehe!"
"What a good person to learn Yi language! Brother Qingquan knows better..."
In the main hall of the General Military Mansion, everyone was chatting about dirty things while waiting for Chai Chengxuan's arrival.
Everyone, including Qi Guoliang, thought that Chai Chengxuan was just hungover as usual. They never thought that at this time, Chai Qianhu, the Dragon Guard, had already been tied up and hung on a tree, and was whipped half to death with one whip after another.
Jia Cong put on his armor and purple cloak, picked up the Yanling knife and hung it on his waist, opened the door and walked out.
Outside the door were more than twenty Jia family soldiers wearing armor and holding their heads high, solemnly waiting for the general's order.
Jia Cong nodded to Jia Shiyi and saw Jia Shiyi lit a firework. With a whoosh, the fireworks flew into the sky and exploded with a loud bang.
At the corner a hundred steps away from the General Military Mansion, the same fireworks flew into the sky, and then one after another fireworks exploded one after another, and the entire Xuanfu City began to move.
Surrounding the General Military Mansion, teams of black-armored cavalry poured out of the streets to the east, west, north and south almost instantly.
The Xuanfu guards patrolling the streets were overwhelmed by the torrent of black armor before they could react.
"Jia Lian, the commander of the Youwei Guard and the crown prince of Rongguo, was ordered by the Emperor to arrest a guilty official of the Xuan Mansion. No one else is allowed to approach, but anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
