"Brother Cong, are you so unkind to me?"
Jia Lian put his rough big hands on the confused Jia Cong's head, rubbing it and rubbing it. Seeing that Jia Cong still looked confused, he knocked hard.
Feeling the pain, Jia Cong came out of his confusion, jumped back suddenly, and shouted in surprise: "Second brother? Why are you here?"
"Ahem~ I am discussing with some of my beloved ministers the affairs of the Beiting Protectorate and Liaodong. Jia Cong, you came here in a panic just to impeach your second brother?"
ah?
Hearing the emperor's voice, Jia Cong discovered that there were several central bosses sitting in the Qinzheng Hall, smiling and staring at him while he was eating melon and watching the show.
Especially Mr. Zhang, the British public servant, winked at him...
Jia Cong wanted to cover his face and leave, but the emperor did not give him this chance and waved: "It just so happens that you should come and listen. You are also the most familiar with the issue of enfeoffment overseas."
"I obey the decree."
He followed Jia Lian and sat at the end of the group of bosses. He picked up the plate of fruits on the table and started to chew on it.
The bosses were not surprised, but the emperor only glanced at Jia Cong and continued the previous topic.
"The war in Goryeo is no longer suspense. The next step is to attack the Japanese country with all our strength. The second emperor brother sent me a letter, saying that after finishing the war in Goryeo, he will use Goryeo as a springboard to lead 20,000 elites across the sea..."
It turned out to be a question about King Jing Liu Yi's request for a fight. This man was really outrageous and worthy of being the most powerful man in the royal family.
"My father means that the Japanese country is not as good as Goryeo, and the direct rule of the dynasty will not be as smooth. It is better to entrust Prince Jing's palace to the Japanese country, and let the two emperors guard the Japanese country for a few years, and then move forward with the withdrawal of the feudal vassal and the establishment of counties. Regarding this matter, What do you think, dear friends?"
The emperor's question made some of the big guys present a little embarrassed, and they turned their attention to Mr. Zhang.
As the top boss in the military, British Duke Zhang Yue not only has high seniority, but also has great prestige.
Zhang Yue did not hide it. After thinking for a moment, he bowed his hands to the emperor and said: "The saint is worthy of being a saint. Regarding the Japanese country, the veteran thought it was simple before. The Japanese are afraid of power but not moral, and they have small courtesy but no great righteousness. If the court directly If you send officials to manage it, there will probably be relapses. If you let King Jing lead troops to station..."
My husband didn't finish his words, but all the kings and ministers in the palace understood what he meant.
One word, kill!
Using the "Analects of Confucius" will not make the Japanese, a strange race, sincerely join the Celestial Empire. Only by killing them until they are fearful of the Celestial Empire can we smoothly proceed with the withdrawal of feudal vassals and the establishment of prefectures.
Otherwise, we can only drag all the Japanese men to fill the sea, but this goes against the "celestial benevolence and righteousness". And everyone here understands that with the expansion of the territory of the Celestial Empire, the imperial court is now severely short of labor.
The court was a little reluctant to part with tens of millions of laborers!
"There is another thing that needs to be noted. The enfeoffment of His Highness Prince Jing cannot be done as usual. The veteran believes that the governor-general system should be given priority, and the court can send deputy envoys to assist Prince Jing in managing the Japanese."
Although Zhou Jiong agreed to enfeoff Liu Yi to the Japanese state, as the chief minister of the cabinet, he must consider matters on the side of the imperial court.
Since ancient times, the feudal system has been the biggest threat to centralization. For the sake of the country and the dynasty, it must be guarded against. Even if Prince Jing Liu Yi is the least ambitious prince in the clan, what about the future? Where are the other people in Prince Jing’s Mansion?
As for whether people will say that he is alienating the royal family, let them be.
The emperor's brows furrowed, but he quickly nodded and said: "What Mr. Zhou Ge said is that the Japanese country is in a special position, and it is indeed not suitable for general enfeoffment... Jia Cong, what do you think?"
ah?
Jia Cong was enjoying the melon when he was suddenly caught by the emperor and he quickly swallowed the last bite.
He wiped the juice from his mouth, cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, what you all said makes sense."
The emperor glared at him: "Slippery! Just say what you are told!"
"Then let me tell you?"
Jia Cong smiled awkwardly and bowed his hands to several big bosses: "As I said before, what Daxia will face in the future is threats from the sea. Our coastline is extremely long, from the Whale Sea in the east to the south, all the way to the South China Sea , unless we have a million-mile navy, we may not be able to cover all aspects of the sea area."
This is a fact, and everyone in the palace can see it clearly.
The navy is too expensive. Why did Grand Ancestor impose a sea ban in the first place? The coastline is too long and there are pirates everywhere. How can we achieve comprehensive defense with only a small navy?
But things are different now. Daxia has already conquered southern Xinjiang, and the big and small Ryukyus are in his hands. As long as he takes over Japan and Goryeo, it will be enough to control all the passes near the sea.
Jia Cong asked someone to fetch the Kunyu Ten Thousand Kingdoms Map and pointed to the red line on it.
"Starting from Manlajia in the south, Luzon, Ryukyu and Japan, to Sakhalin in the north, it is like a Great Wall on the sea. As long as the country and the dynasty stick to this line, there will be no worries about Daxia's maritime territory."
Bang bang~
Jia Cong focused on the Japanese state and said solemnly: "Therefore, the Japanese state can only be a province of Daxia, whether it is a vassal state or a governor-general. Even if the person who is enfeoffed is your majesty's brother , even the slightest threat will not be allowed."
Zhou Jiong was the first to speak up and second the proposal. The others remained silent and did not express their opinions. Even Jia Lian hesitated before speaking: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal. I can trust His Highness Prince Jing, but I don't trust anyone else."
But Jia Cong shook his head: "No, second brother, it's not a matter of whether you believe His Highness Prince Jing or not, but this example cannot be used. If we entrust the Japanese country today, can we let a certain clan member entrust Gaoli, Anbei, and Beiting tomorrow? The chaos of the seven kingdoms of the Han Dynasty..."
"Insolent! Do you want to get punished for alienating the royal family?"
The emperor interrupted Jia Cong's words and snorted coldly, seemingly angry: "You mean, you don't agree with Prince Jing guarding the Japanese country?"
"I do not agree with any form of enfeoffment of the Japanese state!"
Jia Cong, however, was not worried at all and bowed down calmly.
"As for the Japanese, the worst thing is to kill them until they are convinced. After all, His Royal Highness Prince Jing is the prince of the royal family. For the sake of the reputation of the royal family, after the destruction of the Japanese country, it is better to let Prince Teng of Ningyuan County take over His Royal Highness Prince Jing to lead the troops. Prince Prince is the best at it. This kind of thing, he did very well in the Western Region."
hiss!
Including the emperor, everyone in the palace took a deep breath.
This kid is really determined to retaliate. He has tricked Wang Ziteng time and time again. He just came back from Xuan Mansion and targeted him again.
Jia Cong didn't care what other people thought and continued to talk about his plan: "The Japanese country is rich in silver. The next step is that I plan to implement the silver standard policy in the country and urgently need a large amount of silver. Let the prince go to the Japanese country to guard it and let the Japanese give it. Let's dig hard. If they do well, they will be rewarded with a third-class Chinese household registration. If they do not do well, they will die in the mines or be taken out to fill the sea..."
"Okay, okay, there's no need to say the rest. Remember that you are a scholar, so don't be so murderous!"
Seeing that Jia Cong's thoughts were wandering to an unknown place while he was talking, the emperor quickly interrupted him.
He rubbed his brows and said, "The issue of King Jing's enfeoffment has been put on hold for the time being, but the ordnance given to Jinghaiwei cannot be wrong. Jia Cong happens to be here. From today on, all firearms and warship business with the Japanese country will be stopped." Goryeo could not last more than half a year, so the governor's office began to draw up a plan to conquer Japan. The cabinet... will open an encore next year to reserve officials in advance for Beiting and Liaodong counties."
Everyone stood up to receive the order, only Jia Cong smiled.
"I have been dragging my business with the Japanese country for more than a year. The last time the Japanese vassals ordered firearms and warships, I was able to purchase at least 70% of the firearms and warships. These firearms and warships are just equipped with the Chinese navy, and it will be much easier to fight against the Japanese country. Got it!"
…
Jia Lian was injured in the battle with the Rakshasa ghost. He received an arrow in his left arm and a knife in his back. Fortunately, the army doctor had good medical skills and there was no infection or suppuration.
But after all, he had lost a lot of blood, and even though the wound had healed, he was still severely deficient.
After returning from the palace, the accompanying imperial doctor repeatedly told me to take a good supplement.
Wang Xifeng's eyes never left her husband. Her beautiful red eyes were red. She drove the servant girl out of the house and scrubbed Jia Lian's back herself.
The shocking scars made her hands tremble slightly: "Second Master, why are you working so hard? Our family is already at the peak of martial arts, why take such a risk?"
Jia Lian soaked in the tub, feeling the tenderness on her back, and smiled and said: "If I don't fight for this, where will the eldest sister get the imperial seal? Besides, if you don't advance against the current, you will retreat. You can only continue to make contributions." , His Majesty will think that I and Rongguo Mansion are useful to the country..."
When he thought of the precarious situation of Rongguo Mansion in the early years of Yuanyou, he felt an indescribable sense of urgency.
"Brother Cong is still too immature and too emotional. Since ancient times, emperors have been merciless. Even if His Majesty is a person who values righteousness, what about the prince? Will the prince change in the future? It is indeed not a good word to have great achievements and shock the master, but as long as you continue to stand firm For military merit, even if the palace wants to touch us, we have to see what the people in the world think?"
How much the royal family hated the four kings with different surnames at the beginning, but it wasn't because they suppressed their bad habits and showed that the king and his ministers get along well with each other.
After all, he still has strength and prestige in the military.
Jia Lian is different from Jia Cong. He is used to seeing things like flies and dogs. Power makes people lose their nature most easily, especially the person sitting in that chair.
This was the first time Wang Xifeng heard her husband telling her these things. She couldn't help but feel excited and said in a trembling voice: "Second Master, are you saying that the royal family will be detrimental to our family?"
"It's just to take precautions before they happen. His Majesty is indeed a man of friendship, and the prince seems to be a good person so far. Our family will be as stable as a rock for at least twenty or thirty years."
Jia Lian stood up, picked up Wang Xifeng and put him into the bathtub. His rough hands reached into the smooth satin and roamed freely.
Wang Xifeng had not felt the scent of a man for nearly a year. After being teased by Jia Lian, her mind went blank and she forgot her worries just now.
Jia Lian blew gently in his ear: "Don't worry, everything is under my control!"
…
The imperial edict awarding Jia Lian was officially issued on the second day. Jia Lian, the prince of Jin Rongguo and the commander of the right Weiwei, served as a subordinate of Zhuguo, general of hussars, and commander of the rear army, leading the left and right Weiwei, and the left and right Wuwei. , the five Shence Guard armies...
Immediately, there were several new plays in the capital, and the people of the capital had placed Erye Lian on the same level as Huo Huoqi, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.
In theaters, restaurants, Qinlou and Chu Pavilions, and even street stalls, the legendary story of Lian Erye sealing the wolf to Xu and slaying Shi Yanran is told.
Compared with the story about Wang Dahouye killing tens of thousands of Tatars outside Xuanfu, Lian Erye, who only killed more than 10,000 Tatars, is more famous.
After attending a great court meeting, Wu Xun, an older generation in the capital, looked at Jia Lian, who was standing at the front of the queue of military generals, and it was hard to describe how he felt in his heart.
After they returned home, no matter how they looked at their sons and grandsons, they felt they were an eyesore. Many second- and third-generation families were hung from trees and severely beaten.
It is said that this group of veterans have found out clearly that this is how Jia Enhou taught his son...
"Second brother, you have caused us misery!"
The second generation of Xun who came to Rongguo Mansion to congratulate him, and the third generation gathered in the front hall of Rongguo Mansion, crying and complaining to Jia Lian.
As a child of someone else's family, Jia Lian still understands people's hearts.
He asked people to bring the best wine in his house and toasted with these second and third generations again and again.
"It's my brother's fault. Come on, come on, brothers, you won't come home until you get drunk today. When I meet some uncles and uncles someday, I will definitely talk to them about this matter."
One of the second-generation men with a grimace quickly waved his hand and shook his head: "No, second brother, please don't mention this matter. I just ask him not to hang around in front of my father recently. He will probably forget about it in a few days."
As he spoke, he unconsciously touched his buttocks...
Phew~hahahaha~
Everyone in the front hall laughed in unison. They all had a good relationship with Jia Lian. How could they really blame Jia Lian? They were just joking.
Another person said seriously after laughing: "But it's better for my second brother not to go out recently and stay in the mansion to recuperate. There are many rotten scholars in the court who are conspiring to impeach my second brother."
"oh?"
Jia Lian put down his wine glass, raised his hand and asked, "Brother Qin, please tell me in detail."
"Second brother also knows that my sixth brother is currently studying in the academy. He heard some rumors when he went to attend a cultural gathering. It was spread that the second brother ate the enemy in the grassland..."
The look on Jia Lian's face became serious when he heard this. He really didn't care about killing prisoners or anything, but there was one thing that was really taboo.
In order to hide the whereabouts of the army, he fought all the way from Xuanfu to the banks of the Tula River. They fought bloody battles along the way, and no one was spared, whether it was the Tatar army or the common people.
Only the people in the Cabinet, the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War knew this.
"Brother Qin is interested. I will pay attention to this matter."
Jia Lian's face did not show too much solemnity and sorrow, and he still raised his glass and chatted with everyone with a smile.
But he left the front hall midway, found Jia Cong who was entertaining the guests, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Jia Cong's originally smiling face was replaced by a stern expression. He raised his head and asked, "Second brother, do you suspect that someone deliberately spread these secrets? Cabinet? Governor's Office or the Ministry of War?"
Jia Lian's face was as dark as water: "No matter who it is, this matter will never be that simple. I slaughtered more than 20 tribes, large and small, on the grassland. This incident has little impact on me, but it will implicate the empress in the palace." .”
Jia Cong nodded solemnly: "It's not appropriate for the second brother to come forward in this matter. Leave this matter to me. It will be suppressed in three days at most. I'll go to the second brother Bao first, and he has to take action in this matter."
