Emperor Longqing's words left Jia Cong at a loss as to how to answer.
If you observe mourning at home for three years, you can go out for a walk after the New Year, visit everywhere, and prepare more escape routes for yourself.
But Jia Mu and others may not agree.
In their eyes, only if they hold military power can they have the confidence to speak, and can the Jia family truly become a top power. In that case, their backbone will be straightened up.
This is indeed the case on the surface. If he really controls a battalion of troops in the capital, it will be enough to scare some people.
In fact, with Jia Cong's current strength, there is no need for that at all, and he simply doesn't like that small number of troops. Update without error@
The grenade launcher was successfully developed a year ago. After many test firings, the effect was very good. The range was about 400 to 500 meters, achieving the expected effect.
In the current era where cold weapons are the mainstay, whether it is dealing with infantry, cavalry, or even siege, the grenade is definitely a weapon on the battlefield.
At a distance of four to five hundred meters, neither muskets nor bows and arrows could threaten them, and all the enemies would be defeated before they could reach them.
With grenade launchers, you don't need too many. You only need to bring twenty. On the battlefield, you will be absolutely invincible.
A burst of artillery fire directly destroyed the enemy's morale, and then the army covered them up, which was an absolute one-sided massacre.
With three thousand cavalry and twenty grenade launchers, you can easily win even if you face an army of tens of thousands.
Bringing 10,000 Mongolian cavalry and 100 grenade launchers, they can hit from north to south, from east to west. As long as they have enough ammunition, they can sweep everything.
Although there are Hongyi cannons now, they are too bulky and are usually used to defend cities.
You can bring a grenade and shoot them from the blind spot.
The biggest advantage of the grenade is that it is light. It only weighs five or six kilograms in total, and one person can carry it everywhere.
With two hundred soldiers at his side and grenade launchers, Jia Cong was confident that he could take his family and escape from the capital.
Of course, it would be best if this situation did not happen. I also wanted to live a stable life. As long as the emperor did not deal with me, this situation would not happen.
But being with you is like being with a tiger, this is no joke.
Whoever can become an emperor is not a ruthless person who can even attack his brothers and sisters, let alone a mere minister?
Therefore, necessary back-ups must be prepared.
If you are really targeted one day, if you are not prepared, you will have no choice but to be at the mercy of others.
Although we all now pay attention to the theory of loyalty and filial piety, the king tells his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, and the father tells his sons to die, and the sons have to die.
However, Jia Cong is completely a later generation and is not interested in this at all.
In addition to being respectful and filial to your parents and immediate elders, you will never let them beat or scold you.
If you treat me well, I will be loyal to you and work hard for you. If you want to kill me, I will not wait for you to kill me.
Just as Mencius said: If the king regards his ministers as his brothers and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his confidant; if the prince regards his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as the fellow countrymen; if the prince regards his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as the enemy of a bandit.
For now, because Jia Cong is young, even if he has more merit, the emperor will not be suspicious of him.
Relatively speaking, it is relatively safe. As long as you are careful not to cause trouble, you will be fine for the time being.
Thinking of this, Jia Cong cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have no idea. I am satisfied with being promoted to a marquis. I am your Majesty's minister and I obey your Majesty's will in everything."
After hearing this, Emperor Longqing nodded with satisfaction. This boy really has a pure heart.
If Jia Cong knew this, he would probably burst out laughing.
When Emperor Longqing looked at Jia Cong from the perspective of this era, he was absolutely in the wrong direction.
However, in the eyes of Emperor Longqing, Jia Cong was just a young man who could fight, speak, and was loyal to him. He would never have imagined that such a young child could be a little fox, and he didn't have much respect for him in his heart.
Which emperor doesn't want his subordinates and ministers to be capable and obedient?
Most of the current civil and military ministers in the DPRK and China are the ministers left by the Supreme Emperor. As long as the Supreme Emperor is around, they will never be finished. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 193 The Young Duke
Allegiance to oneself.
Regarding this situation, Emperor Longqing was quite helpless.
The appearance of Jia Cong, firstly, his childhood experiences were similar to his own, which gave him a sense of closeness and sympathy.
Another one, Jia Cong directly surrendered to himself, contributed a lot of advanced technology to himself, and was able to fight. The key was that he was young and did not have the twists and turns of those old guys.
He was relatively simple-minded at his young age, and coupled with Jia Cong's deliberateness, made Emperor Longqing feel that Jia Cong had an innocent heart.
How could Emperor Longqing not like a man who knew how to fight, made great achievements, and was loyal to himself?
Looking at Jia Cong below, Emperor Longqing said: "Jia Cong accepts the order."
Jia Cong was stunned when he heard this, and quickly knelt down and said: "Jia Cong, my minister, accept the order."
Emperor Longqing said: "In view of Jia Cong's repeated military exploits on the battlefield in Liaodong, killing enemy chiefs and promoting the prestige of our country, I am very relieved and can be given the title of First-Class Ning Guo Gong."
Jia Cong was overjoyed when he heard this. He was looking forward to the reward, but it finally arrived.
Although it was said that the reward would be given after he returned to Beijing, but given the urinary temperament of those civil servants, they might come up with some tricks, so Jia Cong never had any hope.
As Jia Cong's power grew, he no longer cared much about these.
It is enough to have a marquis. These are just appearances, and they are all for outsiders to see. Whether he can be promoted to Duke or not is not something he looks forward to anymore.
However, Jia Cong was still very happy that Emperor Longqing could keep his promise.
After all, Jia Cong has no objections now. He just wants to be promoted to a noble title, honor his ancestors, and then live a happy life with his beautiful wife and concubine.
All the backup arrangements are just in case.
Dai Quan saw that Jia Cong was stunned, and quickly reminded him: "Master Marquis, please hurry up and accept the order to express your gratitude."
Jia Cong hurriedly kowtowed and said: "My lord, Jia Cong, I accept the decree to express my gratitude. I kowtow to Your Majesty. Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Emperor Longqing said: "Come on, are you satisfied with this reward?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will be satisfied if I can be promoted to a Marquis. Now that I have become a Duke, I am naturally overjoyed. This is enough to comfort my ancestors. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I can only repay Your Majesty with all my heart and mind."
Emperor Longqing laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "You boy, you are now a young prince. You admire others. You are better than others. You Sheng is the ancestor. The two old princes are alive in heaven. It is time to smile. Updated without error @
As long as you serve loyally and serve the country, I will not hesitate to reward you, and the imperial edict will be sent to your house later. Tell me, how have you fought in these years? The battle reports you sent me have never failed, so I am a little curious. "
Jia Cong deleted, deleted, and polished these battles in Liaodong and told them to Long Qing. Emperor Long Qing was stunned.
I was also impressed in my heart, this boy is really good at fighting.
What Jia Cong said is quite simple, that is, know yourself and the enemy, avoid the truth and attack the weakness. No wonder you can win consecutive battles.
Emperor Longqing also understood that although the truth is very simple, it is very difficult to actually do it. Not everyone can do it. There are really not many people as bold and careful as Jia Cong.
There are hundreds of military generals in the entire Chu State, and there are quite a few who have read military strategies, but how many can actually apply what they have learned?
After staying in the imperial study for an hour, Jia Cong said goodbye and left.
Dai Quan sent Jia Cong out of the door, gave him a dye, and the two of them came to one side.
Jia Cong was a little confused, wondering what Dai Quan wanted from him?
Dai Quan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the Duke. He was promoted to Duke in just three years. This is unprecedented in our country. The Duke is a young hero with extraordinary abilities. He is really enviable!"
Jia Cong said: "Eunuch Dai is so ridiculous. Everything depends on His Majesty's blessing. Even if I think about it myself, sometimes I find it a bit unbelievable."
Dai Quan said: "My lord, this is a double blessing. Don't you have a sister in the palace? His Majesty plans to confer a title on her. Let me remind you so that you can be mentally prepared."
Yuanchun is going to become a concubine? What was supposed to come came.
Jia Cong was not surprised at all by this news, it was just a matter of time.
Without the Yuanchun concubines and the Yuanchun relatives, there would be no Grand View Garden or the Red Mansion. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 193 The Young Duke
Many stories take place in the Grand View Garden.
There are two cores in the Red Mansion, one is Jia Mu and the other is the Grand View Garden.
If it were not for Jia Mu, all the golden hairpins would not be able to get together. If there was no Grand View Garden, there would be less interaction among the golden hairpins, and the whole Red Mansion would be a lot worse.
Jia Cong took out a banknote from his arms, stuffed it into Dai Quan's sleeve, and said, "Thank you very much, father-in-law. When did this happen?"
Dai Quan glanced at the denomination of the bank note and said with a smile on his face: "My master just had this idea. Please don't say anything to the Duke. Just wait for the news. The master values the Duke very much. This is also a tribute to the Duke." attitude."
Emperor Longqing probably did this to win over himself and to keep himself loyal to him.
This is also the performance of a monarch showing goodwill to his ministers and wooing them. Everyone has become relatives, and you are still not loyal to me?
Once Yuanchun becomes a concubine, the Wang family will probably start to tremble again.
·····슷
The news that Jia Cong was brought into the palace by the emperor soon reached Jia Mu's ears.
Someone quickly called Yuanyang over and wanted to inquire about the news.
"Yuanyang, Brother Cong came into the palace, did you tell me why?"
Yuanyang shook his head and said: "Old lady, the Marquis didn't say what it was for. He didn't know very well. The little father-in-law didn't say anything. Seeing that the Marquis didn't worry at all, it shouldn't be anything. thing."
Lin Daiyu said: "Don't worry, old lady, it shouldn't be a bad thing. Brother Cong has been at home during this period and has never been out. It is impossible to cause trouble. Maybe it is a matter of canonization."
Mother Jia smiled and said: "I also think it may be a matter of canonization. After all, it has been almost three months since Brother Cong came back. It would be a bit shameful if he is not canonized."
Wang Xifeng said with a face of surprise: "Ancestor, do you mean that we will have a new prince in our family? This is a huge happy event. Congratulations to our ancestors. Congratulations to our ancestors. Now our family is really going to be prosperous. ”
At this time, Aunt Xue brought Xue Baochai in, and the two of them also came after hearing the news.
Hearing Sister Feng's words, I suddenly felt happy.
Brother Cong is such an amazing kid. After three years away, he actually earned the title of a prince. This is really enviable.
This is definitely the son-in-law who is hard to find even with a lantern. He is a good match for Bao Yatou. This time he must bring the two children together.
Thinking of this, Aunt Xue smiled at Jia Mu and said, "Congratulations, old lady, for giving birth to a great grandson. Brother Cong is such a promising kid. Now he is really honoring his ancestors."
Jia Mu laughed happily and said: "My concubine is here. Come and sit inside. Brother Cong has been called into the palace. We are also guessing here. It is not certain whether it is true or not. It makes my concubine laugh."
Aunt Xue sat next to Jia Mu and said with a smile on her face: "With Brother Cong's achievements, a prince will definitely not be able to escape. Old lady, please ask me."
Jia Mu said to Wang Xifeng: "Hurry up and send someone to guard outside. Brother Cong is back. Let him come over immediately. There is no definite news, and I still can't let go."
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Don't worry, ancestor, I have already sent people to guard outside. When brother Cong comes back, I will ask him to come over."
Jia Mu said: "It's better that Feng girl handles the matter properly."
"Hey, it's not easy to get a compliment from our ancestors."
While everyone was talking, they were waiting for news about Jia Cong. Even Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang came.
After waiting for more than an hour, Jia Mu asked several times in a row and even sent people to the imperial city to inquire. _o_m
Hu Huo, who was waiting outside, ran in and said happily: "Old lady, the Marquis is back."
Jia Mu looked at the door, but didn't find Jia Cong, so she asked, "Where is he?"
Amber said: "Old lady, there is news from the front that the Marquis has entered the door and is on his way here. He will be here soon."
As soon as Hu Hu finished speaking, the door curtain was lifted, and a straight and strong figure walked in. Was it Jia Cong or that one?
Jia Cong walked in and saw that the room was full of people. Everyone who was supposed to be there was here.
He walked up to the old lady first and bowed: "Grandson to the old lady. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 193 The Young Duke
Thank you very much. "
Jia Mu said, "Brother Cong, get up quickly."
Jia Cong said: "Why are there so many people today? My aunt is also here to pay her respects. During this period of time, I am a filial piety, so I didn't go to see my aunt. Don't you think it's weird?"
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "You are too polite. We all live together. Why are there so many taboos? You have also had some leisure time during this period. You often come to Auntie's place to sit and sit. We don't care about this in our family. .”
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I feel relieved when my aunt says this. I will go and pay my respects to my aunt another day."
Then, he greeted Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others. Update without error@
"Greetings to my wife, my second wife, and my two sisters-in-law."
Seeing Xue Baochai with several sisters, looking at herself, this girl is getting older and more mature.
Jia Cong said with a smile: "Sister Bao is here too. I haven't seen you for more than three years. Sister Bao is getting more and more beautiful. My brother is filial and it is inconvenient to visit you. You don't know how to visit me. Don't you think so?" Can you forget me, brother?"
Baochai's face turned red when he heard this, and he smiled and said, "After Brother Cong comes back, the family will be so busy, and my sister will not dare to disturb you."
Jia Mu became a little impatient and said, "Brother Cong, your Majesty summoned you to the palace. What happened? Tell us quickly, otherwise we won't be able to relax."
Everyone also looked at Jia Cong eagerly, wanting to know why Jia Cong entered the palace.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't worry, old lady, it's a good thing. Congratulations, old lady. Your grandson is now a first-class Ning Guogong."
