Jia Cong came to the imperial study room and waited for a short time before being led in by Dai Quan. Seeing Emperor Longqing sitting on it, Jia Cong quickly stepped forward to salute.
"My lord, Jia Cong, pay homage to your majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Emperor Longqing raised his head and looked at Jia Cong, who was wearing armor and stomach below, even more heroic.
He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, now he looked like the invincible and unparalleled general galloping across the battlefield.
Emperor Longqing raised his hand and said, "Jia Aiqing, please settle down. Are you satisfied with your current position?" Jia Cong once again raised his hand and said, "I am your Majesty's minister. As long as your Majesty needs it, no matter what you ask me to do, , I will go through fire and water without hesitation. Thanks to your majesty’s trust in allowing me to command the imperial army, I will do my best to protect your majesty and the safety of the imperial city, and I will never let any small talk disturb your majesty. "Listen. Seeing Jia Cong's solemn face, vows, and sonorous words, Emperor Longqing couldn't help laughing.
These words were said beautifully, and they directly touched the heart of Emperor Longqing, making him feel very happy.
If others say this, he might just listen to it. But when Jia Cong said this, he believed 80% to 90% of it.
"Okay, your words are not in vain for my love for you. Do your job well and I won't treat you badly. But have you been to the military camp?" Jia Cong cupped his hands and said: "Replying to Your Majesty, I have officially I have taken over the Forbidden Army and everything in the military camp has been arranged. Your Majesty, the Forbidden Army is responsible for guarding the imperial city. I want to train and reorganize the Forbidden Army. I wonder if your Majesty will allow it?" Emperor Longqing knew Jia Cong's military training ability. , nodded in agreement without hesitation, after all, this was related to his own comfort.
"I'm sure. Since I have handed over the imperial army into your hands, I have also handed over my safety and the safety of the imperial city into your hands. This is my trust in you. I hope you will not let me It's better to be disappointed." Seeing that Emperor Longqing agreed, Jia Cong was also happy.
Since they are your own soldiers, you can't watch them being too lax. At least they need to improve their discipline. As for their abilities, it depends on the situation.
Jia Cong planned to train them well after returning, and at least make them obey orders.
Only those who obey your orders are good subordinates. When something really happens, he can take command freely and will not lose control at the critical moment.
Jia Cong said: "Thank you for your majesty's permission. As long as the minister is here, no one can step into the imperial city without your majesty's permission." Emperor Longqing was quite satisfied with Jia Cong's answer.
He said with a smile: "Well, I believe in your ability." After thinking about it, he said: "You have to thank the Queen for this matter. She has said a lot of good things for you." Jia Cong Hearing this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Unexpectedly, the queen really took action. Looking at Emperor Longqing in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and felt a little sorry for him.
It is indeed a bit unreasonable to give him two big hats for nothing. But there was nothing I could do, it was all for self-protection, it was just a last resort.
If he doesn't do this, he will be threatened by the queen. This is not something he can accept. It is absolutely impossible to threaten him, and no one can do it.
In order to solve the trouble, he had no choice but to take this strategy and conquer the queen completely. In this situation, there is no other way.
Because I have never thought about provoking the emperor's woman, all this can only be said to be a mistake of fate and fate.
If the emperor in front of me discovers this and cuckolds him, who knows what will happen?
Even if you don't get angry to death, I'm afraid I won't get any good fruit. Next, you have to be more careful about your behavior in the palace.
Jia Cong said: "The Queen is virtuous and virtuous, and I admire you greatly. I will go and thank the Queen later." Emperor Longqing nodded and said, "If you have nothing else to do, please step aside."
"My lord, please leave." Jia Cong bowed again, slowly took three steps back, and then turned and left the imperial study.
······In the Imperial Palace, Cining Palace. Seeing Jia Cong, who was dressed in armor, striding into the hall, the queen couldn't help but have a flash of light in her eyes.
Jia Cong, dressed in armor, looks even more heroic and powerful. Seeing the queen sitting on the throne and the maids in the hall, Jia Cong took a step forward and bowed.
"My lord, Jia Cong, pay homage to the empress, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand thousand years old." In front of outsiders, Jia Cong still has to put on a show, otherwise there will be too many eyes. If something spreads out, it will be terrible for him. It's not a good thing. If you want to be safe, you have to be careful.
The queen said with a smile: "Get up, Mr. Ning Guo. You don't need to be so polite. Are you going to take up a post in the Imperial Guard? It's going well." When Jia Cong came to the palace before, he didn't wear the armor. This time he was fully clothed. Coming armed, the queen had already guessed.
She also didn't expect that Emperor Longqing would act so resolutely and let Jia Cong come to the palace to take office the next day.
This is really a happy event for her. She will be able to see this little enemy often in the future, which is worth celebrating.
Jia Cong said: "Reporting to the queen, I have successfully taken over the imperial city's imperial army. From now on, I will be responsible for guarding the safety of the imperial city and the safety of your majesty and the queen. I would also like to thank the queen for speaking for me this time. I am very grateful. I will definitely thank the Queen well." Yes, I will definitely reward the Queen well. I believe the Queen will be very satisfied.
The queen smiled and said: "Your Majesty told you?" Jia Cong said: "Yes, your Majesty told me personally, and asked me to reward the queen properly." When the queen heard this, there was a strange look on her face.
Looking at Jia Cong, he said with a half-smile: "I just mentioned it casually. Everything is your Majesty's decision. If you want to thank me, I will not refuse. I don't know how Lord Ning Guo will repay me." What?" Jia Cong glanced at the Queen and said with a smile: "I have a small family background and have seen many strange and weird things. I believe the Queen will be satisfied." Others may not be able to hear it, but in the Queen's ears , this is blatant teasing.
She didn't understand the meaning. This brat was so bold, and he wasn't afraid of others hearing it.
The queen rolled her eyes at Jia Cong, pointed to her side, and said, "Don't stand there, Mr. Ning Guo. Come and sit down quickly." Jia Cong was not polite and went directly to the seat below the queen and sat down. Come down.
The queen waved her hands to the maids around her and said, "You all can go down, you don't have to wait here anymore."
"Yes, the Queen." The maids bowed to the Queen and then filed out. In an instant, the queen and Jia Cong were the only two people left in the hall.
Jia Cong blinked and asked: "Every time I come here, you kick people out. Are these people worried? If they talk nonsense outside, the gossip will spread everywhere as time goes by. If it reaches His Majesty's ears, it will be a disaster." The Queen smiled and said: "Don't worry, these people know the rules and won't talk nonsense. Aren't you very courageous? Even I, the Queen, Go to sleep, I heard that you are very powerful outside, why are you getting scared now?" As the queen said, she walked to Jia Cong and sat down next to him.
Jia Cong said: "It's not that I'm really afraid. No one can stop me if I want to leave. I just don't want to be discovered, let alone fall out with His Majesty. You should pay more attention in the future. Not everyone in this harem It's your territory. If someone around you is bought by someone else, then everything will be lost." The queen said, "Don't worry about this. Even if someone suspects it, they won't suspect that we have an affair." , they will only suspect that I helped the eldest prince to win over you. If anyone really suspects it, let's say this. As a mother, I help my son rise to power and win over you, the general, and others can't say anything. Even if Your Majesty will be fine if he knows." Jia Cong couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.
This is a good argument, and no one will doubt it. Jia Cong said: "Okay, I'll do as you say, but you need to be more careful in your actions in the future. Some things cannot be hidden from people who are interested. After all, paper cannot cover the fire." The queen put away her face. With a smile, he promised: "I know, I will try to be more careful in the future. Every time I ask Sister Chen Fei to come over to accompany us, no one will doubt me." By the way, Chen Fei was always here every time I came here. What happened today? Didn't you see her?
Is there something else going on, or are there other reasons? Jia Cong said: "By the way, why didn't I see Concubine Chen today? You two were all together before. Could there be something wrong?" The queen said: "What could be the matter? It's just that she didn't come today. Why, I miss that little goblin, but I still think I'm too old." Jia Cong smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just curious, so I just asked. I didn't expect that I actually upset your jealousy." The queen spat. He said in one breath: "Bah, I am not what you think. Concubine Chen was not given to you by me. By the way, let's get down to business. Now that you are in charge of the Forbidden Army, should you promise me to help my eldest prince? A handful?" When Jia Cong heard this, he frowned, this was what was supposed to come.
To be honest, following the lessons learned from the previous generation of the Jia family, Jia Cong did not want to get involved in the internal fighting within the royal family, let alone the fight for the throne.
If you can't get this thing right, it will be completely over. The key is that the effort is not proportional to the gain, and there is no need for you to get involved.
He is already Ning Guogong. Even if he supports the eldest prince to ascend the throne, he will not make himself a king with a different surname.
What's the point of taking such a huge risk and working so hard, but ultimately it's all in vain?
I'm not the one being taken advantage of, and I won't do a loss-making business. Seeing that Jia Cong was silent, the queen also put away the smile on her face and said with some displeasure: "I am a majestic queen and I am already yours, why are you not willing to help me with such a small favor? ?" Jia Cong said with a wry smile: "Empress, are you doing a small favor? Is there anything bigger than this in the world? You also know what the previous generation of my Jia family went through. I really I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the previous generation and put my Jia family in danger." The Queen said: "I have heard about that incident, but this incident is different from that incident. Your Majesty does not have many days left, as long as you If you are willing to help me and join forces with me to push the eldest emperor to the throne, I am 90% sure that I will succeed and will never fail. You can rest assured." The Queen's words are quite good. As long as she is willing to take action, the two of them can join forces. , there is almost no possibility of failure.
As long as he seals off the palace, he and the queen will have the final say in the entire palace. Any imperial edict or testament can be written casually.
When the queen came forward, the ministers couldn't help but not believe her. All he has to do is cooperate with the queen and seal off the imperial city.
Her role is still very important. Without her help, the queen's chance of success is not very great.
The biggest reason now is that I have helped a lot but cannot get much benefit. This is also the reason why I hesitate to take action.
Besides, I am not a confidant of the eldest prince. If he wants to burn down the bridge afterwards, then he will die unjustly.
Jia Cong said: "It doesn't make much difference to me who becomes the emperor, as long as he is not the second prince. I am now Ning Guogong. No matter who becomes the emperor, there is no big reward for me." , I see this very clearly myself, so I don’t want to be thankless. Even His Majesty is afraid of me, let alone the new emperor? Doesn’t it mean that the greater the merit, the faster he will die." The queen gave Jia Cong a deep look. , I didn’t expect this kid to see so thoroughly, he is really a little fox.
If he didn't help him, he wouldn't have any confidence at all, and he would have to pull him into his chariot no matter what.
The queen thought for a while and said: "What you said makes sense, but it all depends on human beings. Even if the eldest emperor becomes the emperor, with me as the queen mother, I can naturally protect you. Although it is impossible to make you a king with a different surname, I can Give your son a title. Isn't your concubine pregnant? If it's a boy, I can make the decision. I can make him a count. I can guarantee you this and I can make the decision. What do you think?" His son was born as soon as he was born. That's a good idea, Earl.
However, this is just a blank check from the Queen. It is really hard to say whether it can be achieved. Who wouldn’t say this kind of empty talk? The key is whether it can be fulfilled.
Jia Cong would not be so naive as to think that if she slept with the queen, she would turn to him. If the eldest prince disagreed, she would have no choice.
Jia Cong said: "I do believe the Queen's words, but at that time, will the Queen still be able to be the master of the eldest prince? You must know that the emperor has no family ties. You have been in the palace for many years and you should understand this better than me. Even if you are his biological mother, you will not be allowed to interfere with his affairs." The queen said: "I can call the eldest prince here, and we will settle the matter in person. With his personal commitment, you should be relieved. Right? Besides our relationship, I won't let him touch you." Jia Cong said: "Don't let him know about our relationship, otherwise he won't let me go, even if he doesn't I will touch you, and I will also imprison you." The queen said: "I'm not stupid, how could I let him know about this kind of thing."
