In Daming Palace, Emperor Mingkang, the owner of Dakang, looked at the things in his hands with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"Is this true? Is that person really from Duke Ning's mansion?"
Kneeling on the ground was Xu Yuantu, the commander of the internal guards. Listening to Emperor Mingkang's unwavering voice, there was only a wry smile on his face. He knew very well how much the man in front of him hated the founding nobleman, but the fact It was the truth, he didn't dare to hide it.
"Yes~"
"However, Jia Qi's presence in Dongfu is very low. It took a lot of effort for his subordinates to find out that his father Jia Yao and his mother Du Lanyan died when he was less than one year old. The mother was originally the daughter of Du Yihe, the censor of Jiangnan Province. Later, because of an incident, Master Du was exiled, and Du Lanyan was also sent to the Jiaofang. She was bought by Jia Yao and made her a concubine. Her mother died when he was five years old. After his death, he grew up under the financial support of the Ning Mansion. He was sent to Jinling for unknown reasons some time ago, and what happened after that is unknown."
"In addition, my subordinates also discovered another thing. Jia Qi's father Jia Yao is a branch of Ning Guogong. He seemed to have participated in that incident. It seemed that he just passed on a word that was neither serious nor serious. He was Since he was implicated, in order to avoid suspicion, the Jia family did not put the other party’s spiritual tablet into the Jia family’s ancestral hall.”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingkang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Where is the Zongren Mansion? Has the Jia family's genealogy been registered?"
Xu Yuanhui paid his respects again, "This matter is in charge of General Manager Dai Quan, and I don't know about it~"
Emperor Mingkang turned around and looked at Dai Quan, his tone suddenly became a little unhappy, "You are a bitch, just now I asked a question, but you hid aside and acted like a shrinking bastard, why don't you tell the truth~"
When Dai Quan heard what Emperor Mingkang said, his face changed slightly. In fact, when Emperor Mingkang asked, it was not that he didn't hear it, but he was thinking about it, but at this moment, he could remember it clearly!
"Back to the emperor, the old servant remembers that when Jia Zhen of Duke Ning's palace was in the imperial court, the genealogy was reported to the clan's mansion. In recent years, there has been no movement in Jia's mansion, and the clan's mansion has never received any more reports. Now, I don’t even know what the Jia family’s genealogy is!”
Emperor Mingkang narrowed his eyes and shouted coldly, "Why don't you check it quickly!! I want to know everything about him~"
Long Yan was so furious that Dai Quan and Xu Yuantu were so frightened that they lay on the ground without even daring to breathe, and hurried out.
At the same time, in the Taihe Palace, an elderly eunuch panted and ran towards the main hall. This man's name was Xia Cheng. He was the eunuch in charge of the Taihe Palace, and his status was similar to that of Dai Quan who was beside Emperor Mingkang.
"Your Majesty, this old slave has something important to report~~"
Outside a door, Xia Cheng stood firm on his heels and panted.
"come in!"
After a while, an old and majestic voice came out. Xia Cheng thanked him and walked in with the help of the little eunuch at the door.
"Your Majesty, I'm so happy! I'm so happy!!"
There was an old man in a bright yellow dragon robe playing chess with someone in the room. When he heard this, he didn't even look up and just said casually.
"Now that I'm like this, what else can I be happy about?"
Xia Cheng, who was on the side, heard this and knelt down quickly, "Your Majesty, the heavens are blessed with great blessings. Da Kang still needs your blessing! The Emperor also needs your help..."
Hearing Xia Cheng's flattery, Emperor Taikang felt happy. He knew very well what was going on in Dakang now. As an emperor who had been in charge of Dakang for nearly thirty years, his heart was not that fragile, and he didn't need to A eunuch came to comfort him.
"Tell me! What's going on!!"
Xia Cheng did not stand up, but knelt there and continued: "The great victory in Liaodong Town, the chief military officer of Liaodong Town, Guo Yingjing, defeated the Jurchen cavalry in Jianzhou. There was a young general under his command, Jia Qi, who led his troops across Jianzhou and massacred the Jurchen Jurchens in Jianzhou. Three hundred thousand, his clan was destroyed, and Jianzhou was recovered!!"
After hearing Xia Cheng's words, Emperor Taikang lost his grip on any of the chess pieces and fell directly on the chessboard. He raised his head and looked at Xia Cheng who was kneeling on the ground. The surprise in his eyes was beyond words.
He knew how strong the Jurchen cavalry was. Unlike Emperor Mingkang, he had never been on the battlefield. When he was young, he had led these proud soldiers to the battlefield, so those people all obeyed him. It hasn't changed now.
The Jurchen cavalry are very offensive, and most of them can shoot bows on horseback, and have the ability to shoot from horseback. Dakang's cavalry is very reluctant to fight against them one on two, and they are extremely maneuverable, making them very difficult to deal with. Is Liaodong Town taking medicine this year? ? Can you actually defeat them? ?
"Your Majesty, it's true. At today's court meeting, Guo Yingjing personally delivered the memorial and delivered the good news. The emperor was overjoyed and rewarded two marquises~"
Hearing this, Emperor Taikang had a trace of doubt in his eyes. Only a marquis was rewarded for such merit? Isn't his prince's brain broken?
"what happened??"
Xia Cheng continued to reply: "Fan Yuanhe, the cabinet minister, took advantage of the fact that General Jia was still young, and his methods were too ruthless, and he was afraid that the foreign races on the border would attack Dakang, so that the emperor changed his mind and was demoted to the first rank and granted the title of Marquis. ! But this Marquis is also extremely noble, he is a Champion Marquis~"
Emperor Taikang's eyes flickered twice, as if he had guessed Fan Yuanhe's intentions and Emperor Mingkang's counterattack. He had been in charge of the government for many years, and he could see the fishy things here almost at a glance.
"Which family does this Jia Qi belong to? Is he a descendant of Daishan and the others??"
Xia Cheng was stunned for a moment, "I don't know about this yet. At the court meeting, the emperor once asked Mr. Jia Zheng, a descendant of Duke Rong, but he didn't know who Jia Qi was!"
Emperor Taikang's eyes were a little strange. Wasn't he a descendant of the Jia family?
"Go check it out quickly~ Also ask Jia She to come over. I have something to ask him~"
In the Rongguo Duke's Mansion, the news about the elder brother's title of marquis gradually spread, and several girls began to discuss it.
In a warm pavilion, Jia Baoyu, Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, Jia Xichun, Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun and Li Wan gathered together.
When Jia Baoyu heard that his follower Ming Yan had inquired about the news from outside, and saw several sisters talking about it, he became jealous and said with a bit of disdain, "It's just a title, that's all. Why do you deserve to say that? A guy who was originally interesting is now going to get into that rotten pond and become a national thief. He is really stupid!"
Hearing this, Daiyu looked a little unhappy. If it were anyone else, she wouldn't have said anything. But the protagonist is Jia Qi, so that's another story. The favorability level was almost full at the beginning, so Baoyu said I was criticized by Sister Lin.
"It's so boring. If you can't earn it, you're just talking sarcastically here. If you have the ability, go earn it and let me see~"
Just one sentence, hitting the nail on the head, made Jia Baoyu blush and neck thick with anger.
"What did you say~"
Li Wan, who was standing by, saw Baoyu's appearance and hurried over to comfort him, "Baoyu, this is not an economic career, but to resist foreign enemies and protect the great well-off people! We have such a peaceful life today because of the soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front line. Those who fought hard were the same as the ancestors of our mansion back then. They followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the territory of thousands of miles and protect the people~"
After saying that, he stretched out his finger and lightly tapped Daiyu's smooth forehead, giving her a look that seemed to be saying to my dear sister, why don't you speak softly and just make her angry?
Seeing this, Xichun chuckled and said nothing. Yingchun always talked little, so when he saw Baoyu looking like this, he didn't dare to interrupt.
However, Tanchun sighed softly and said, "Second brother, the old lady and the master are discussing this matter now. They are very fond of Brother Xin. Don't let the master hear this." , when the time comes to make the master angry, how can I get any relief~"
Hearing his father, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, his eyes a little frightened.
Xiangyun was still young, so she was still careless at this time, and said carelessly: "When that brother comes back, I want to see what kind of hero he is~"
When Daiyu saw Xiangyun's interest, something strange arose in her heart. She was about to scratch Xiangyun a few more words, but she felt her sleeve being pulled by someone. When she looked up, she saw Xiangling's hesitant expression. As soon as his mind changed, he guessed what the other person was thinking, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, it's okay! You have been with him for a long time, and you should know who he is~ Put your heart into your stomach quickly, save the time." Someone came back and said that I bullied his little girl~"
