It was not until evening that Jia Cong left Qin Keqing's yard refreshed.
This little goblin is so clinging to me that I almost couldn't get away from him. He probably has to run here frequently in the past few days.
Returning to his own yard, he found Yuanyang, took two antiques, and went to the East Road Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, Jia She's yard.
"Greetings to the master, and greetings to the madam."
Looking at his youngest son, Jia She felt greatly comforted.
"Get up. Is your Uncle Lin settled in?"
Jia Cong placed the two antiques in front of Jia She and said, "As I said, the house has been settled. Uncle Lin has arranged for people to come over and tidy up the yard in advance. Just move it in when you come this time."
I know that the master likes antiques. This time, the child found two pieces in Jiangnan. Let’s see if they are interesting to the master. "
Jia She nodded. In fact, his eyes had already been on these two antiques.
I couldn't wait to pick it up and play with it carefully.
He clicked his tongue and said: "Yes, yes, they are indeed two good treasures. The master likes them very much. You kid is interested."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "As long as the master likes it."
He took out another three thousand tael silver note and handed it to Mrs. Xing. It was the end of the year, so let's give it together.
Over the years, every New Year, Jia Cong asked Ping'er to give Mrs. Xing three thousand taels of silver for her to spend during the New Year. It can be regarded as his own contribution.
This little money is nothing to me, and it is worth it if I can earn a good reputation.
"Madam, the New Year is coming soon. Take this money. If you are missing something? Just buy some yourself. The New Year's goods from the north will be delivered in a few days, and I will send more."
Mrs.
Jia Cong said: "Let me and my wife worry about it."
Jia She reluctantly put the two antiques back on the table, becoming more and more satisfied with his youngest son.
Not only is he capable, but he is also filial.
A hundred times stronger than that bastard Lian'er. Not only does that guy care about his antiques, he also cares about his little wife. I wonder who he can follow?
This child, Cong'er, is his biological son.
At such an old age, he has only enjoyed the benefits of his son in the past few years. This is all what Cong'er brought to him.
However, this kid is still a little too impulsive and doesn't care much about the consequences.
"I don't deny your ability. If you want to stand firm in the court and get along well, you need to learn more. This time you went to Jiangnan, but you offended many people. The money earned by those salt merchants, Half of them were sent to the capital.
Although Lin Ruhai took it off for you, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it was your handiwork. You can't hide your style of doing things from others. Let's go to the study to talk. "
Jia Cong nodded and followed Jia She to the study.
Jia She carefully placed the two antiques on the shelf, then sat down on the chair.
"You not only offended a group of Jiangnan officials this time, but also offended an important person, that is the second prince Xiang Hong. Among the grandsons of the Supreme Emperor, the one whom the Supreme Emperor likes the most, besides Prince Yizhong, is the second prince. Xiang Hong.
The Supreme Emperor came forward and asked a girl from the Zhen family to be the second prince's concubine, which was regarded as a matchmaking for them. His intention was already obvious. After a hundred years, he would ask the second prince to protect the Zhen family, which would support the second prince's ascension to the throne.
Prince Yi Zhong felt that the Emperor was interested in him, so he frequently contacted Prince Zhong Yi’s old subordinates and found me. He asked me to help win you over. I excused myself by saying that you are now from Dongfu. There is no hope for this person. Yes, that foundation is too thin.
You have just returned to Beijing not long ago, and you have just arranged the funeral for Brother Jing, and then you went south to the south of the Yangtze River. You didn't stay in Beijing for a long time. These people haven't had time to come to win over you. After the New Year, someone will probably come to your door. You need to be mentally prepared.
Our Jia family has already missed the queue once. The Emperor thought of your grandfather's friendship, so he let the Jia family go. But we can't stand the trouble again. You must treat this matter carefully. "
Jia She's words surprised Jia Cong.
I didn't expect that this cheap man would reveal so much information to me today. It seems that he is quite interested in me.
Jia Cong still knew the second prince.
He seems to be well-mannered, very polite to others, and looks like a courteous corporal. He is a famous wise king.
According to Jia She, this second prince has inherited some connections from the Supreme Emperor and has long been connected with the Zhen family and the Jiangnan officialdom. These people must have taken refuge with him a long time ago, and he is probably the one behind the salt merchants.
In this case, wouldn't his action this time ruin the good deeds of the second prince and cut off part of his wealth?
This really offended a great god!
"What do you mean, sir, is it possible that this second prince will inherit the throne?"
Jia She did not answer directly because he was not sure himself and was afraid that Jia Cong would be affected by his judgment. He was not confident at all now.
Thinking back then, the old Prince Zhongyi was much more powerful than the second prince now. No matter how you looked at it, there was no possibility of losing. Didn't he fail in the end?
"You should know all of His Majesty's princes. If we really compare them, this second prince's performance is more outstanding."
Jia Cong nodded upon hearing this. On the surface, this was indeed the case.
The eldest prince is relatively mediocre, but a good person. The third prince is more clever and gives people a sense of instability. The fourth prince is younger and about the same age as himself.
To sum up, only the second prince Xiang Hong has the greatest power, and he is too popular with the emperor. No wonder Jia She thinks so.
However, it is a bit too arbitrary to judge that he can inherit the throne just because the Supreme Emperor likes him.
The Supreme Emperor cannot live longer than the Emperor, and it doesn't count no matter how much he likes her.
Moreover, the relationship between father and son was not very good during the power struggle with the emperor a few years ago. For this reason, it was impossible for the emperor to choose the second prince.
If the second prince had ill intentions towards him, he would also cut off his hopes. There would be no way that an enemy would ascend the throne and threaten himself.
"Don't worry, sir. If I really have to choose a side, I will only choose to stand on the side of the emperor. I will be loyal to whoever becomes the emperor in the future. I will not bet on these princes. Doing so will only result in more losses than gains.
I am now a first-class Duke. Even if the bet is right, will he still make me king? This is simply impossible. Since there is not much benefit, why should I take the risk? "
Jia She was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Jia Cong to have such knowledge, which made him even more worried.
"It's best if you can figure it out, so I can rest assured. However, you have offended the second prince, so you should be more careful with him, lest he stumbles you. This man looks like a courteous corporal, but what's going on behind the scenes? Who knows?"
Jia Cong said: "Thank you for your teaching, sir. My child will definitely keep it in mind. Although I don't want to take the initiative to provoke others, if anyone comes to provoke me, I will not make it easy for him."
After hearing what Jia Cong said, Jia She felt a little funny.
Aren't you the one who took the initiative to provoke the second prince this time? Although everything happened for a reason, it was you who made the first move.
Thinking about it, the second prince is the emperor's son after all. If this kid doesn't know the importance of the situation, he might even offend the emperor, so I'd better remind him.
"You kid, please don't act recklessly. The Second Prince's identity is not ordinary. He may be the future crown prince. If you act recklessly, His Majesty will not tolerate you. After all, he is his son."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "Don't worry, sir. Even for His Majesty's sake, I won't touch the second prince. But if he really wants to deal with me, I will make him a real loner and from now on he will be with the throne." No chance."
"hiss"
When Jia She heard this, he took a deep breath and looked at Jia Cong with a horrified look on his face.
Damn it, how brave do you have to be?
I ask myself, I don’t have such courage, and I don’t know who this bastard will follow? I really want to scare people to death!
He knew that this boy would definitely do what he said. He had heard about the massacre of more than a thousand of Prince Zhongshun's customers, and now Prince Zhongshun was very honest.
He could see that this boy had no respect for the imperial power at all, and he didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing?
"What do you think, kid? If you really do this, even if the emperor doesn't blame you, he will still have opinions about you. This will also be very detrimental to you. Have you ever thought about this issue?"
Jia Cong frowned when he heard this. He had never thought about this problem.
If you are too soft-hearted and let others bully you, you will face endless troubles in the future, and it will be difficult to keep your business. If you see that you are easy to bully, everyone will probably step on you.
That's why he is ruthless and ruthless, killing everyone without leaving any consequences, and at the same time, he can also scare others.
Even if His Majesty has some opinions about him, it's not a big deal. If he doesn't touch the royal people, he has already given the royal family enough face. Could it be that he, a high-ranking prince, is allowed to be bullied by others?
"Don't worry, sir. This is just a last resort. I won't do it unless I have to. The reason why I do this is to scare others and reduce unnecessary troubles. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles."
Jia She thought about it and realized that this was also the case.
Just because of the money-making methods that this kid Jia Cong has mastered, there are so many jealous people. I wonder how he has managed to stay safe and sound all these years?
It was only this year that Prince Zhongshun jumped out to attack Jia Cong's Zhuangzi, and he even served him a pot, which shocked everyone.
After what he did, no one really dared to jump out again.
"Since you have your own ideas, I won't say more. However, the imperial power still needs to be respected. Otherwise, the emperor will be even more worried about you. By then, if someone targets you again, it will be a disaster."
Jia Cong said: "Don't worry, sir. I will control this situation and try not to have this happen. In addition to fighting and killing, your son still knows some strategies. I can choose another way."
Seeing Jia Cong say this, Jia She was relieved.
After all, being able to achieve such an achievement on the battlefield was definitely not something that a foolhardy person could achieve. All he needed to do was remind him.
The two chatted for a while, and then it was time for dinner. They had dinner with Jia She before saying goodbye and leaving.
I originally wanted to go to Xue's house tonight to see Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, but now it's a bit too late and I don't have time to get gifts. Let's go talk first and send gifts another day.
I made up my mind and walked in the direction of Lixiangyuan.
······
Divine Capital City, the Second Prince's Mansion.
Ever since the emperor issued the decree, which brought down the entire Yangzhou officialdom, the second prince Xiang Hong's face has never looked good.
Over the years, he had spent a lot of money in Yangzhou's officialdom and brought these people under his command.
One is to let these people give the green light to those salt merchants to help them make money. The other is to slowly transfer them to the capital through their own connections to prepare for the future competition.
Who would have imagined that a good game of chess would be ruined by Jia Cong and Lin Ruhai.
Who wouldn't hate it if all the years of hard work, years of hard work, and years of dedication came to naught?
If looks could kill, Jia Cong and Lin Ruhai would have died hundreds of times.
Xiang Hong felt so angry! I wish I could peel off the skin of these two people and cut them into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart.
But reason told him that he couldn't do this. He was still very afraid of Jia Cong, a madman.
But if he didn't say this, he really couldn't bear it.
He looked at the think tank next to him and said, "Mr. Qu, I really can't swallow this breath. Can you help me think of a way to get rid of this bad breath?"
Qu Yingzhe frowned when he heard this.
His Highness is still a little out of breath. At this time, it is better to be still than to move. It is best to wait for this matter to pass before taking action.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
If we act rashly now, regardless of whether it will be successful or not, once the emperor gets the handle, it will really be more of a loss than a gain.
Besides, Jia Cong is not someone to be trifled with. If he doesn't get it right, he will definitely lose his wife and lose his troops.
"Your Highness, I believe you also know what kind of person Jia Cong is. He was truly ruthless. More than a thousand of Prince Zhongshun's guests were slaughtered and burned. It is said that the smell of meat spread for more than ten miles that day.
Many people rushed over smelling the fragrance, and when they saw the scene, they all vomited. Does His Highness really decide to provoke such a ruthless person?
My subordinates are sure that if we attack him, he will definitely attack us mercilessly. That would really be more gain than loss for us. "
In fact, the second prince also understood this truth, but he couldn't express it and felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"Mr. Qu, I understand what you said, but if I just let it go, I feel really aggrieved. I don't want to offend that lunatic Jia Cong.
Do you think we can take action from other aspects, such as dealing with Lin Ruhai, or dealing with the people around Jia Cong? "
Qu Yingzhe smiled bitterly in his heart. This master was so determined that he was going to vent his anger.
