In the following days, Jia Huan completely broke with Xifu and never went to Xifu again to say hello.
I compile natural science textbooks every day, or interact with the little maid, or go to the Grand View Garden to chat with Sister Lin. My life is comfortable and pleasant.
At this time, the situation above the court was changing.
Under the joint efforts of Emperor Taishang and Emperor Chongkang, the purge of the court began.
The first thing to move was the generals. Two hundred thousand Jin troops invaded, quietly came to the hinterland of Daxia, and surrounded the capital, which brought extremely bad consequences.
The invasion of the Jin army must have required the cooperation of military generals from all over the country. Otherwise, the Jin army would not have been able to invade the hinterland of Daxia without anyone noticing.
There is a first time and a second time for this kind of thing.
These generals must move, otherwise Daxia may not be so lucky to survive the danger next time.
But it is impossible to move them all. If they were to capture them all, it would inevitably cause turmoil on the border, and even force them to take risks and directly rebel.
The Supreme Emperor and Emperor Chongkang and his son joined forces and first used thunderbolt methods to quietly capture several generals.
There were frequent mobilizations of troops on the border. It is believed that the two emperors, Emperor Taishang and Emperor Chongkang, and the border generals reached some agreements.
It did not cause unrest at the border.
Then in the second step, the border generals made a large-scale mobilization.
After this transfer, more than half of the border checkpoints have new faces.
After the mobilization of military generals was completed, the border was initially stabilized.
Next, we began to rectify the civil servants in the DPRK.
Within a month, officials were arrested and imprisoned, demoted, or removed from their posts almost every day.
This move made everyone in the court feel in danger.
Almost every once in a while, a high-ranking official would have his or her home confiscated and be exiled.
The whole capital was disturbed by the commotion.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Jia Huan.
It doesn't even have much to do with Jia's family.
After all, among the Jia family, only Jia Zheng is currently an official in the government.
And Jia Zheng, a member of the Ministry of Industry, is completely transparent.
He is also Jia Huan's father. The conservative elders will not take him to play with him even if they do some petty tricks.
And Jia Zheng was neither greedy nor embezzling. Even when he went out to study politics, he had to take money from home to subsidize him.
And this time, the two families that have the closest relationship with the Jia family are the Zhen family.
During this liquidation, the Zhen family was directly confiscated and exterminated.
Of course, Jia Huan knew that the raid on the Zhen family had nothing to do with the court liquidation.
Because even without this liquidation, the Zhen family would have been ransacked.
Another person who was implicated was Wang Ziteng of the Wang family, who was held accountable by the Ministry of War.
The reason why Wang Ziteng was implicated was not because he had connections with conservatives.
But when the Jin army pressed on, he behaved too badly.
First, there was a big defeat outside the city, and then when they were defending the city, they were almost defeated by the Jin army.
If Jia Huan had not led more than 300 men in time to burn the Jin army's food and grass, it is still unknown whether Wang Ziteng could have defended the city.
Fortunately, Wang Ziteng's abilities are limited and his loyalty is not a problem, so he is only being held accountable.
After being held accountable, Wang Ziteng began to defend himself.
He made it clear that the battle outside the city was not due to his incompetence. Instead, the soldiers in the three major battalions had lax military discipline, the personnel were dissatisfied with the number of staff, the situation was serious, and even the weapons and armor were rusted due to many reasons.
As for the fact that the city gate was almost broken down during the defense of the city, it was not a fault of war, but actually caused by someone inside the Jin army.
The tradition of free pay for the three major battalions has been around for a long time, and it involves a wide range of people, with a few of them implicating most of the nobles.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, no one has investigated the issue of air wages, but in the end it has been left unsolved.
This time, if he were not held accountable, he would most likely be fired if he failed to defend himself. Wang Ziteng did not dare to reveal this secret casually.
When Emperor Chongkang learned that the three major battalions had almost half of their salaries, he became furious.
The three major battalions are responsible for the important task of defending the capital, but they have fallen into such a state. How can such a ragtag group of people defend the capital?
Emperor Chongkang immediately issued an order to order Prince Teng to perform meritorious service and completely rectify the three camps.
After receiving the order, Wang Ziteng was both happy and frightened.
Fortunately, he finally has a chance to survive. As long as he fulfills His Majesty's instructions, he can resolve this crisis.
Even further steps in the future are unknown.
The scary thing is that this mission is not so easy to complete.
The forces behind the three major camps are intertwined.
He had been serving as the governor of the Beijing camp for several years, but he had not been able to completely take possession of the three major camps.
And now, he wants to completely rectify the three major camps. This is to kill the forces behind the three major camps.
If it is not done well, it will lead to the destruction of the family and the destruction of the whole family.
However, now that things have come to a point, I don’t care about that much anymore.
Before reorganizing the three major camps, Wang Ziteng made some calculations.
The first step is to clear out the empty pay and take the opportunity to eliminate the generals of Yuan Ping's lineage.
The second step is to win over the neutral generals, and then use the vacant generals to win over the generals from the founding lineage.
If you want to achieve the second step of planning, you must take advantage of the situation.
And what he wants to borrow is the power of the Jia family.
In the past month, Wang Ziteng has been worried about his future and has no time to care about anything else. He does not know what is happening in the Jia family.
Now that the situation is clear, he wants to take advantage of the Jia family again, so he becomes concerned about the Jia family's affairs.
Soon Wang Ziteng found out about the falling out between Rong Guofu and Dongfu Huan, and his sister was the instigator of all this.
It was this stupid sister of hers who begged the empress to order Baoyu to marry her for the sake of her incompetent son.
This move not only offended Brother Huan of Dongfu, but also made the empress fall out of favor in front of His Majesty.
And my stupid sister also hated the old lady of Jia Mansion because of this incident.
It is said that the old lady has recently exempted her from having to sleep in the morning, and has made her stay at home and think about her mistakes.
After learning about this incident, Wang Ziteng was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
My sister is so stupid!
If she was really smart, it would be fine if the bastard she kept suppressing couldn't get ahead.
But now that bastard has become a thing of the past. If you don't try to win over him with kindness, why should you try to suppress him?
It would be fine if they broke up because of the inheritance of the title and family property, but it happened just because of a woman.
Why should a man worry about not having a wife?
How stupid is it to get into this situation just for a mere woman?
Now if you want to take advantage of the Jia family, you have to put in a lot of effort.
After having a headache for a long time, Wang Ziteng finally issued a greeting and decided to go to Jia's house in person.
The next day, Wang Ziteng brought heavy gifts and visited Jia's house.
Jia Zheng received Wang Ziteng in person, and the two chatted for a while.
Wang Ziteng couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law, I wonder if the old lady has some free time? I haven't visited her for many days, and I was about to pay my respects to the old lady."
Jia Zheng said: "Brother-in-law, wait a moment, I will send someone to inquire."
Jia Zheng sent someone to ask Jia Mu.
Jia's mother is old and lazy. In recent years, she has rarely seen outsiders. She only enjoys herself at home and entertains her grandchildren.
However, Wang Ziteng's status was different. After all, he was the brother of Jia Mu's second daughter-in-law, and he was a real relative. According to common sense, when Wang Ziteng asked to see him, Jia Mu wanted to see him.
But now Jia Mu is still angry with Mrs. Wang, and she doesn't like to see the Wang family either.
Let’s not talk about the fact that the Wang family almost vacated Jia’s house, let’s just say that a few years ago, when Mrs. Wang Ziteng had a baby, Jia’s mother refused to go because she felt unwell. Even Mrs. Wang didn't get over it.
She didn't want to see the Wang family before, and now she doesn't want to see the Wang family even more.
Therefore, not long after, Jia Zheng's book boy came to report: "Master Qi, the ancestor said that she has been unwell recently and it is inconvenient to see guests. Please forgive me, Lord Wang."
After hearing Jia Mu's words, Wang Ziteng's expression changed.
From these words, Wang Ziteng could tell that Jia Mu was very dissatisfied with their Wang family.
The word "Master Wang" means that he no longer treats them as relatives.
If I can't see Jia's mother today and resolve the matter, I will definitely not be able to take advantage of the Jia family's influence.
When Wang Ziteng was about to speak, he heard Jia Zheng say: "Brother-in-law, my mother is not feeling well. It won't be too late for you to come and pay her respects some other time."
"My brother-in-law is here for a rare visit. I have prepared a banquet and am about to have a good drink with my brother-in-law. Please!"
Wang Ziteng looked at Jia Zheng with a sincere face and felt tired.
My brother-in-law is really innocent and can't even hear nice words.
The prince said hurriedly: "The old lady is not feeling well. As her nephew, she has to visit her."
"If you don't go, wouldn't it be the way of relatives? Please ask your sister-in-law to personally lead the way for your brother."
After saying that, Wang Ziteng stood up and looked at Jia Zheng.
For Wang Ziteng, he must see Jia Mu today.
But he couldn't force his way in, otherwise he would offend the Jia family even more, so he could only let his good brother-in-law take him there.
Jia Zheng, on the other hand, was still curious. In the past, when Prince Teng came to visit, his ancestors didn't always see him, but most of the time they didn't see him.
In the past, my ancestor always excused himself because of his physical discomfort. I wonder why my brother-in-law had to see my ancestor this time?
However, since his brother-in-law insisted on meeting, Jia Zheng could not shirk, so he had to get up and take Wang Ziteng to Jia's mother.
Naturally, someone had already gone to Jia Mu to report the news.
Not long after, they came to Jia Mu's place in Rongqing Hall.
Jia Zheng and Wang Ziteng entered the room one after another. Jia's mother was sitting upright, talking and laughing with the mothers-in-law. Did she ever look a little unwell?
The prince hurriedly paid his respects and said, "I would like to pay my respects to our ancestors and wish my ancestors long blessings and good health. Seeing that my ancestors look good, I feel relieved."
Mother Jia looked at the tall and majestic Wang Ziteng, and then looked at Jia Zheng whose aura was completely suppressed by Wang Ziteng, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
My son is certainly good. But he is honest and honest, how can he be the opponent of the cunning and cunning Wang Jiazi?
After a hundred years, the Jia family is afraid that they will no longer become vassals of the Wang family.
Finally, a Qilin Zihuan brother was born in the Jia family, and he was made to turn against the Rongguo Mansion by Mrs. Wang, a stupid woman.
Thinking of this, Mother Jia's mood became worse and worse. She said lightly: "I am old, and the younger people in the family are not worried, so I have to let the old woman come out to worry about it."
"The old woman has lost her energy and is too lazy to see outsiders. It's hard for you to still miss the old woman. Now the old woman will not die for a while."
"Now that the old woman is not in good spirits, it is difficult to greet guests. Zheng'er, please take care of the foreign guests on my behalf."
Jia Zheng said respectfully: "Yes, mother."
Next to him, Wang Ziteng heard a lot of resentment from Jia Mu.
The younger generations in the family are all worried, and this is about my stupid sister.
He couldn't die for a while, but he was almost made angry to death by my Wang family.
Wang Ziteng sighed, then knelt on the ground and said with shame, "Old lady, my roommate is incompetent and confused, causing chaos to your house."
"As his brother, I feel really guilty and uncomfortable. Here, on behalf of my sister-in-law, I apologize to the old lady. I also ask the old lady to forgive her for this because she is young and confused."
Wang Ziteng's words moved Jia Mu's face.
Of course, I was not moved by Wang Ziteng, but I felt deeply moved by Wang Ziteng's ability to bend and stretch.
How could Mother Jia not guess the purpose of Wang Ziteng's visit?
The reason why Jia's mother didn't want to see him was actually because she didn't want to use the Jia family's connections to help Wang Ziteng.
Favors become thinner the more they are used. If all the Jia family's connections help the Wang family, what will happen to the Jia family in the future?
But in front of him, Wang Ziteng was able to do this, which made Jia Mu change her mind.
This son is so forbearing that even if he cannot be subdued, he cannot be offended.
The left and right Wang families also belong to the four major families, and everyone is on the same vine.
That's all, just help him one more time.
Thinking of this, Mother Jia couldn't help but say: "Zheng'er, why don't you help your brother-in-law up? No one is a saint, how can he be without faults? Who hasn't done something wrong?"
"The second child married into the Jia family, raised children, respected his parents-in-law, and took care of the house. But occasionally he did something wrong, so where is this?! You are too worried. That’s it.”
After hearing what Jia Mu said, Jia Zheng hurriedly helped Wang Ziteng up.
After hearing what Jia Mu said, Wang Ziteng couldn't help but be overjoyed!
Done!
This kneeling of his own finally moved the old lady.
With the help of the Jia family, it will be much easier to organize the three camps.
The prince hurriedly thanked him.
With Jia's mother's approval, Prince Teng Anxin had a banquet at Jia's house.
After leaving Jia's house, Wang Ziteng couldn't help but feel more confident.
On the second day, Wang Ziteng's operation to reorganize the three major camps began in full swing.
The so-called three fires for a new official to take office, these three fires must be burned to completely establish his authority.
The first fire, Wang Ziteng decided to burn at Fenwu Camp, the 12th Regiment Camp.
Zhang Kang, the general of Fenwu Camp, usually refused to obey his discipline.
That day, when the Jin army pressed on the border, Wang Ziteng was ready to use him as a sacrificial flag.
However, at that time, Wang Ziteng learned that the whole army of the three major battalions was like this. Wang Ziteng was afraid that killing Zhang Kang would cause turmoil in the army, so he did not kill him.
Now that I have some free time, I can use this person to scare the monkeys.
Wang Ziteng still remembered that Fenwu Camp had a full strength of 10,000 people, but they only had 4,867 people.
Of the establishment of more than 10,000 people, he ate up more than half of the free wages.
Therefore, Wang Ziteng's first battle was to lead his soldiers and go straight to Fenwu Camp. (End of chapter)
