Everyone was relieved to see Jia Cong back safely. Even if I say I'm not worried, I still feel a little uneasy in my heart.
After knowing the whole story, everyone couldn't help but feel embarrassed. This method was still so cruel, more than a hundred people were killed at any time.
That's it for everyone else, everyone is used to it, even if it's the Spring Festival, it doesn't matter. The newly arrived Li sisters, Xing Xiuyan and Xue Baoqin couldn't help but shudder when they heard about this.
The rumors were indeed true. This was really an evil star. It cost more than a hundred lives. To him, it was such an understatement.
Looking at Jia Cong's eyes, he couldn't help but show a hint of fear, being frightened by Jia Cong. Xue Baoqin was also a little puzzled. It was incredible that more than a hundred people were killed like that and nothing happened.
She knew that her cousin Xue Pan was beaten to death by his men, but he was the one who got the lawsuit because of the Jia family's connections and settled the matter.
My brother-in-law is doing well. He killed more than a hundred people and yet nothing happened in the capital. This is really amazing.
Xue Baoqin said: "Brother-in-law, you are so awesome." Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's not worth mentioning if I make you laugh." Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Let me just say, with Brother Cong's ability, how could it be possible? There is something wrong, so everyone is worried for nothing." Wang Xifeng admires Jia Cong's work style very much.
Because she is also a ruthless and decisive person, and has many lives on her hands. Wang Xifeng used all kinds of means to deal with all the maids who were married to Jia Lian in the past, including the maids she came with as dowry. Only Ping'er was left, and she got it early.
Wang Xifeng looked so closely at Jia Lian that there was no other woman around Jia Lian except Wang Xifeng.
This also makes him a bit hungry for women outside, and he can kill anyone. Jia Lian's behavior may have been forced by Wang Xifeng. This may be rebellious psychology.
Aunt Xue also said: "If you don't do anything in the future, it's better not to do it. It sounds scary." Jia Cong said with a smile: "I know aunt, I will pay attention to it in the future. This time I also want to vent my anger on my second brother and Baoyu. The Zhou family should show off their power and let them know that the Jia family is not something they can touch. If they do, they will have to pay the price." Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Then I will thank you for your second brother, and let your second brother host another day. Please, thank you very much." Jia Cong said: "Sister-in-law, you are too polite. The family does not speak the same language, so why should you be so polite." But he couldn't help but secretly thought, he didn't want to use the name of his second brother to invite him alone. Yourself?
This girl can really do it. Should I go or not when the time comes? Looking at the fairy concubine-like figure in front of him, Jia Cong felt a little hot in his heart.
Mrs. Wang also gave a rare smile and said: "Brother Cong, I also want to thank you on Baoyu's behalf." Jia Mu chuckled and said: "Okay, okay, this is good. This is what a head of the family should be like, able to protect I can live with my brothers and protect my family. With you in the Jia family, I feel relieved. I can be considered worthy of my ancestors." Jia Cong smiled and said: "This is all the credit of the old lady. Without the old lady, where would there be? What about me?" Jia Mu laughed loudly when she heard this, and others also laughed.
Lin Daiyu pulled Jia Cong aside and whispered: "Brother Cong, you led people to fight, why didn't you call me?" Jia Cong laughed dumbly and said: "How should I call you? Could it be that: Sister Lin, let's go, Go kill someone. If the old lady hears it, she will curse me to death." Lin Daiyu
He smiled "Pfft", hit Jia Cong, and said with a smile: "You are a real person, you won't call me secretly." Jia Cong said: "I didn't even go there myself, I asked Li Biao to take others. How can I personally take action on such a trivial matter?" Xue Baoqin came to the two of them, pulled Jia Cong and asked: "Brother-in-law, you killed so many people, aren't you afraid?" Jia Cong glanced at her and said with a smile: "Didn't you hear what I said to your sister Lin? I didn't even go. I asked my guards to take people there. Besides, I'm a general. People who have been on the battlefield often kill tens of thousands of people at a time. It’s just a matter of killing a few people, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
"Ah, is that so?" Xue Baoqin was a little surprised when he heard this, and then he understood. This brother-in-law served as a soldier in Liaodong for three years. He was named Ning Guogong by the emperor because of his military exploits. Those military exploits were all achieved with swords and spears, but he had ignored these things.
Thinking of this, he asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, can you tell me about your past wars?" Jia Cong asked: "Sister Qin, you are still interested in these things. If you want to hear, I can tell you. Talk about it.”
"Really? That's great." Seeing Jia Cong agreed, Xue Baoqin suddenly became happy. Seeing a few people gathering together and chattering, Shi Xiangyun and Xichun also ran over and started chatting.
Jia Mu was in a happy mood today and said to Wang Xifeng: "Girl Feng, go and make arrangements. You can all have dinner at my place tonight." Wang Xifeng said: "Don't worry, ancestor, we have already made arrangements. When the time comes we will Just set the table." Mother Jia nodded, and when she saw the little girls surrounding Jia Cong, laughing and playing, she couldn't help but reveal a smile on her face.
Wang Xifeng said with envy: "These girls are really lucky to have a brother like Brother Cong. Seeing them being so affectionate makes me a little jealous." Jia Mu smiled and said: "Isn't he also you? Brother, go play with him, and no one will let you go." Wang Xifeng said, "Look at how much they are chatting, so I won't go over and join in the fun, so as not to be disliked by others." Jia Mu stretched out her ears and listened. She liked this lively scene while Jia Cong and the others talked.
Li Wan sat aside and said nothing. Her identity was a little awkward and she couldn't make it too obvious.
In addition, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, did not deal with Jia Cong, so it was even harder for her to show off in order to avoid upsetting her mother-in-law.
Hearing what Wang Xifeng said, he couldn't help but curled his lips. This Feng Lazi seems to be very reserved today. This is not her character.
I still remember that yesterday, she dragged brother Cong away and actually provoked her. Her intimacy made people blush.
Even he has fallen. Could this Feng Lazi be related to Brother Cong? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look back and forth at the two of them.
Feeling Li Wan's gaze, Wang Xifeng turned her head and looked over, raising her eyebrows at Li Wan. Seeing her like this, Li Wan remembered the embarrassing scene yesterday, glared at her angrily, and turned away.
······Emperor Longqing left the imperial study and came all the way to Cining Palace. When the queen got the news, she quickly came out with her maids and eunuchs.
From a distance, she saluted Emperor Longqing: "Concubine, I respectfully welcome your Majesty." Emperor Longqing said, "Queen, no courtesy." The queen then stood up and accompanied Emperor Longqing to the main hall.
After letting Emperor Longqing sit down and serving fragrant tea, the queen then said: "Your Majesty, why do you have time to come to my concubine at this time? Aren't you usually reviewing memorials?" Emperor Longqing said: "I, in my heart I'm a little bored, so let's go out for a walk and relax." After hearing this, the queen was a little confused, could something big happen again?
According to the people below, it seems that Jia Cong was called into the palace by His Majesty. Could this matter be related to Jia Cong? I hope that kid will be okay.
This little enemy came to the palace and didn't even come to see me. It was really too much. After looking at Emperor Longqing's expression, he saw that it was indeed not good, so he said: "Your Majesty is so diligent in his work, he is so tired, and I feel a little distressed when I see it. Your Majesty should go out for a walk more often, and relax a bit." Mood. Although state affairs are important, your majesty's body is more important. Your majesty should work less and cultivate more. There are so many ministers in the court. Just tell them to do whatever they want. Otherwise, why are you raising them in vain? " Emperor Longqing After hearing the queen's words, a smile appeared on her face.
Whether it is true or false, I feel happy when I hear it. As his sons grew up, these children, as well as his women, all changed. They all stared at the seat under their buttocks, but there was not much emotion in their hearts.
It is said that the royal family has no family ties. This may be the tragedy of being an emperor. I am a widower, I am a widower, I am alone and I am alone, that is quite appropriate.
Emperor Longqing said: "It's not as simple as you said. I still have to take a look at many things. At least I have to know it well. The current court officials either don't contribute or have no ability and don't take state affairs to heart. I There is no other way." The Queen advised: "There is no need to rush these things. Just take your time. Your Majesty is so diligent, and the world will definitely get better and better." Emperor Longqing smiled and said, "I hope so. , I also have a headache due to many things." The Queen took the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty, why are you upset today? If it is not important, you can tell me about it. Telling me may make your Majesty feel better, and it can also relieve your Majesty's worries. " Emperor Longqing is still very satisfied with his queen.
His understanding of others cannot be compared with that of others, and he never causes trouble for himself. He can still feel his thoughtfulness and concern for himself.
Emperor Longqing sighed: "That kid Jia Cong has only been stable for a long time before he caused trouble again and wiped out a small force in the Zhou family. Although those people deserved to die, the public should just It's really too arrogant to be so cruel." After hearing Emperor Longqing's words, the queen couldn't help but frown.
It was really something caused by that little enemy. This kind of behavior was indeed inappropriate, but it made sense if it involved the Zhou family.
The Zhou family took advantage of Jia Cong's absence in the capital and hired people to attack the Jia family's people. Although there was no conclusive evidence, anyone with a discerning eye could guess that Jia Cong returned to the capital early because of this incident.
This kid is able to keep his composure and has never taken action against the Zhou family. He has been able to endure it until now, which is already very good.
The queen said: "Your Majesty is right, but the two families have deep grievances. It is understandable that Ning Guogong did this. With their young people's temperament, they did not take direct action against the Zhou family, which is considered relatively restrained." Emperor Longqing nodded and said: "Jia Cong, this kid, is quite sensible, but he also has a temper that doesn't want to suffer. He is still too young. I have made the decision to help the two families settle their grudges. I hope there will be no more trouble." Come on." The queen rolled her eyes and couldn't help but think about it.
If this matter is used to allow Jia Cong to take over the imperial army, this would be an opportunity. If he could succeed, his plan would be 80% successful, and he would also be able to meet his little enemy often, which would kill two birds with one stone.
What's more, I mentioned it last time and His Majesty agreed, but something happened later, so I stopped it.
Thinking of this, the queen said: "Your Majesty, Ning Guogong is young after all, and he is very kind to your Majesty. If he is suppressed too hard, it may be counterproductive. Not only will he not be tempered as he should be, but he may also be... If he misunderstands His Majesty and feels resentful in his heart, it is more likely that he will be pushed out. If that is the case, it will be a bit of a loss." After hearing the Queen's words, Emperor Longqing frowned.
After recalling Jia Cong's attitude and performance, I couldn't help but think about it. From the boy's expression, there was no hint of resentment or complaint, just a little negative.
From the current point of view, Jia Cong is indeed a loyal and filial person, and he is even more affectionate to himself. When it comes to his filial piety to himself, even his sons, none of them can match him.
Emperor Longqing would not be willing to push such a hero who was close to him and loyal to him out of the way.
Jia Cong is different from those officials. Those officials are officials just to make a fortune. Traveling thousands of miles to be an official is just for the sake of wealth.
This is not just talk, most officials are like this. Jia Cong now has status and is not short of money. He doesn't care about his salary at all. He is doing real work as an official.
From three years of military experience in Liaodong to one and a half years of official service in the capital, it can be seen that Jia Cong is the kind of person who does practical things, which compares to others.
Losing such a helping hand would indeed be a loss. Emperor Longqing said: "Probably not. From what he said, he actually enjoys this kind of life. He looks a little negative, but he doesn't show anything else." The Queen said: "Your Majesty, it's not so much negative, but It's a disappointment, a kind of disappointment for the court and your Majesty. If your Majesty himself were in the position of Ning Guogong and made great contributions but was left idle, how would your Majesty feel?" The Queen has already given up. She must get Jia Cong into the Forbidden Army this time. As for the consequences, she no longer cares.
As long as Jia Cong controls the Forbidden Army and is willing to cooperate with him, the entire palace will be in his own hands.
When the time comes, the heir to the throne will be none other than his own son. As for Emperor Longqing, it's best if everything goes well. Otherwise, we can only send him off in advance.
Emperor Longqing didn't know the queen's thoughts, so he couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard what she said. If this happened to him, it would definitely be difficult to accept it. It is already rare for Jia Cong to be so knowledgeable.
Emperor Longqing said: "What the Queen is saying is that it seems that what I am doing is a bit taken for granted. Although I have good intentions, I still have to be able to be understood. Does the Queen have any clever ideas?"
