Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 324 Want to leave the capital and go to the south for sacrifices

Yang Yi didn't stay in the capital for a long time. In his eyes, the capital now looked like a wild beast with its mouth wide open, with sharp fangs and a suffocating stench.

Although the development of the matter is still as he expected, and he can go to Liaodong as the imperial envoy prince as he wished, but Wu Yuqing's defection still casts some dark clouds in his heart.

What he didn't expect was that he thought the conversation that night was a long conversation, but the expected master and servant did not happen, but it further prompted Wu Yuqing's betrayal.

He was not defenseless, otherwise he would not have been discovered by Wu Yuqing immediately after he left the mansion, and he would have sent someone to hunt him down.It's just that Wu Yuqing has been working under his sect for four years, so long that the two of him are inseparable, and so long that he dug a secret passage leading to the outside of the palace without knowing it.

It can be seen that this fellow has never attached himself to him sincerely from the very beginning, and his rebellious heart has long been there. Yang Yi secretly hates why he didn't find out at the beginning?

Surrounded by a group of guards, Yang Yi was walking outside the gate of the residence, and it was not the concubine who saw her off, but Nan Jin.

At this time, Nan Jin noticed Yang Yi's distraction, and said, "The prince is still worried about Wu Yuqing?"

Yang Yi came back to her senses, nodded and said: "There is no news yet, he knows too much."

After Nan Jin heard this, there was also meaning and worry on her creamy, smooth and jade-white face. Yang Yi didn't know that it was someone from Prince Zhao's Mansion who was sent to hunt down Wu Yuqing, and she also used methods herself.As Yang Yi said, he knows too much, and no one is willing to make troubles at this time.

However, Nan Jin didn't seem to interfere with Yang Yi's Liaodong party because of this, Zhu Lips lightly said: "It's a good thing if there is no news, at least Wu Yuqing didn't fall into the hands of any party, and he didn't expose us. With him With a character that is greedy for life and afraid of death, how can you not understand that since he betrayed us, knew so much, participated in so much, he still cannot escape death."

Yang Yi nodded and said, "I'm not worried that he will expose me."

Wu Yuqing's identity is inherently shady. His patriarch Fa Xiaozheng lived in incognito for most of his life before he was able to survive. Once people like them reveal their identities, the court will not keep them alive.

People only know that the Embroidered Guards are the imperial falcons, but they don't know that there is also a secret spy under the supervisor of rites, who specializes in dealing with these shady activities involving the royal family.

"I'm just afraid that there will be people on the opposite side in the mansion. Once Wu Yuqing falls into their hands, the consequences will be unimaginable. This is why the king has to leave Beijing immediately. As long as the king arrives in Liaodong first, the overall situation will be settled."

"When will he enter Beijing?" Yang Yi asked suddenly.

Nan Jin paused for a moment, realizing who the "he" in Yang Yi's mouth was referring to, she blinked her long and narrow eyelashes, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, he will naturally appear when he comes."

"At this point, what is he waiting for?" Yang Yi asked a little dissatisfied.

Nan Jin replied with a smile: "My lord also said that we have reached this point, what else do you have to worry about? He has already paved the way for you. Does it matter when you arrive in Beijing?"

Yang Yi took a deep look at Nan Jin, and suddenly laughed: "You are right, I have come to this point and there is no turning back. I will leave the matter in Beijing to you."

Regardless of whether that person has other thoughts, or because he is used to hiding in the dark, he still needs to observe the development of the situation further. If he wins everything, it is easy to say, if he loses, he never showed up the whole time. There is still a chance to separate himself from himself, but for him, Yang Yi, regardless of success or failure, he can only move forward, even if it is a deep abyss.

After that, he turned and got into the carriage.

Just as Yang Yi's car left Beijing, Nan Jin also received the news that Wu Yuqing had fled, but the assassins of King Zhao's Mansion who had sent to kill Wu Yuqing had disappeared.

missing?

Nan Jin couldn't understand why Wu Yuqing would be so capable?Even if the pursuit failed, someone should come back alive. How could there be no one alive but no dead body? Could it be that someone was secretly helping him?
Who would it be?

It's a pity that no one gave her an answer, and it doesn't matter anymore, Yang Yi has already left Beijing.

Li Wangfu.

"So a third party appeared and rescued Wu Yuqing, who could it be?" Yang Bi frowned and said, "Today is the day when Yang Yi leaves Beijing. I hope nothing will happen."

Nan Huai'en thought for a while and said: "My subordinates have inquired along the road, and among the large groups of people that appeared within a radius of a hundred miles at the same time, there were only three groups with more than dozens of people, and two of them were caravans from central Beijing. There are traces to check, and the other one is the inspector's family who moved to Beijing from Jiangxi, and these three groups have no possibility of helping Wu Yuqing."

"Who would that be?"

Nan Huai'en thought for a while and said: "Jia Ying left Beijing early yesterday morning, and he also went south. The dry road they took was the closest to the official road from the capital to Shandong. Counting the time, it may be possible. Just passed by there."

"Jia Ying? Isn't he going to Shandong to preside over the provincial examination? How many people did he take with him?" Yang Yi asked.

Nan Huai'en shook his head and said: "There is only one servant and two guards on the surface, but it is not clear in the dark, why don't we send someone to investigate? Yang Yi's success or failure is also related to our plan."

Yang Yi shook her head and said: "No need for the time being, I managed to get him away. As long as he doesn't return to Beijing, don't provoke him. Even if he rescued him, Wu Yuqing didn't know about our affairs. The Jia family may not necessarily be the enemy."

After Nan Huaien listened, he didn't make a sound.

"Why, are you worried?" Yang Yi knew the person beside him, and if he didn't express his opinion, it meant that he was not worried about Jia Ying.

Nan Huai'en said: "My lord, until today, Jia Ying has never really joined the lord's family. Don't forget that the Jia family is not empty in the palace. He may not stand on the lord's position and consider the overall situation."

"Yang Zhuo?"

Yang Bi laughed and said, "It's just a child who can walk just now, Wynn, you must be too caring."

"Be prepared."

Yang Yi was silent for a moment and said, "Then what do you say?"

"Jia Ying was devoted to revive Ning Rongzu's lintel, and even personally sent Shi Ding to the prison for self-protection, even disregarding the affection of Jiashi King Xue's four ancestors, there are not many things in this world that can restrain him .In my opinion, Jia Ying may not really care about the life and death of those few in the Jia family, but it is not without shortcomings."

"He did not hesitate to turn against Xungui for Lin Ruhai. It can be seen how important the Lin family, or Lin Ruhai's daughter, is to him. The other is his precious son. The prince should have seen it."

Yang Yi nodded, he also brought the concubine to congratulate Jingning uncle's mansion when they were celebrating.

"But one of these two is a woman, and the other is a baby who is still in its infancy. Wynn, you can't let me use these two things to restrain Jia Ying."

"Those who achieve great things, why care about the means, just achieve the goal."

"But what is the name of the key? Is it still possible to rob someone?" Yang Yi frowned.

"I invite the princess to come forward. I just say that the princess likes children. It's okay to invite the girl from the Lin family and Jia Ying's son to come to the house. Maybe you can stay for a few days. If the prince is willing, it's okay to have a foster son." Nan Huai Grace.

Yang Yi said with a smile: "Wynn's thinking is simple, isn't it? Jia Ying and the girl from the Lin family are not yet married. Now that he is not in Beijing, who can make the decision?"

"It doesn't matter if it's successful or not. It doesn't matter even if the person doesn't come. It's just a warning to Jia Ying. We needed to win him over before, but after a while, it's up to him to beg us." Nan Huai'en Said.

Yang Yi thought for a while, finally nodded and said: "As you say."

But at this time in Jia's residence, after receiving Jia Ying's letter, although Daiyu didn't understand why, she still complied.While ordering Baochun and Lurong to get ready, he took his old servant Zhou Siwu to see Jia Zheng.

Meng Pozhai.

Although she has been in the mansion for a long time, Daiyu did not talk to Jia Zheng very often. It was only when she first entered the mansion that Jia Zheng occasionally called a few girls to ask if there was any vacancies. It was the first time she had come to see her uncle by herself.

"Didn't Ying'er go to Shandong to preside over the provincial examination? Well, why did you want to take you south again?" Jia Zheng asked puzzled after listening to Zhou Siwu's words.

Daiyu didn't talk to her, she was a junior, some words were difficult to speak, and Jia Zheng was separated by seniority, so it was difficult to have an equal conversation, so everything was left to the old servant Zhou Siwu to deal with.

"I didn't plan to do this at first, the second master said, because when he was staying overnight on the way to the south, he dreamed of the deceased master and his wife. After waking up, he thought about it again and again, thinking that the master and the wife should have spirits in the sky to entrust the dream to the second master. I want to see my grandson. The second master thought, now that the uncle's mansion has heirs, it is time to recall the tombs of the master and his wife." The old servant said politely.

"I also thought that the girls in the mansion are used to being lively, they are not used to being separated, and the road is lonely, so I want to invite a few girls to go with me. I don't have any other important things on this trip to the south. If other family members in the mansion are willing to go with me, We can also work together, and each other will take care of each other. After all, Jinling is the ancestral land, so it's good to go back and have a look."

At that time, people believed in ghosts and gods most, especially the spirits of the ancestors.

After Jia Zheng listened to the old servant's words, he couldn't help recalling Jia Yan's appearance at the beginning, which seemed to be a little blurred. As for the Mu family, Jia Zheng had only met him twice, and he couldn't form it in his mind until now. The screen is gone.

I couldn't help but feel a little sad for a moment, and I didn't want to ask any more questions.

"There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is to have no descendants. That's fine, it's time to comfort the ancestors, so as to comfort the souls of the deceased."

Jia Duan died in battle, so he is naturally a heroic soul.

As he said that, Jia Zheng looked at Daiyu and said, "You can go to various places to have a look. If you are willing to go together, you can go together. I will talk to the old lady."

Daiyu won the permission, and she didn't procrastinate immediately. She first went to seek everyone's consent, and then began to prepare for going south.

When Baoyu heard the news that everyone was leaving the mansion, he also thought about it. Everyone left, how could he be the only one left to answer, and he didn't dare to ask his father, so he could only go to Jiamu to keep begging.

Mother Jia didn't want Baoyu to leave her side, but she really couldn't bear to leave him alone in Beijing.

Jia Mu looked at Daiyu Tanchun again and asked, "Who else is going besides you?"

"Sister Baoqin, sister Xiuyan, and two younger sisters, Li Wei and Li Qi, are all going. A few of us have discussed that girl Feng has been bedridden for a long time and sees no wind, so we finally meet again, so we might as well go out for a walk too." Let's go, let's relax." Daiyu knew that Jia Mu always liked to be lively, and everyone left all of a sudden, and the family was lonely, and she couldn't bear to see Jia Mu.

But she had no choice, Jia Ying said in the letter that all the people in the mansion could not be gone at once, and the girls could only leave Beijing early for refuge.

But there are too many girls in the mansion, which one to take, which one not to take, which one is willing to go, which one is not willing to go, it may not be perfect.If according to her opinion, the most ruthless thing is when the army is in chaos, it is best for the girls to go south with them, and it is not good to leave that one behind.But I was also worried about how to tell my sisters that it was unrealistic to tell the truth that the purpose of going south was to avoid the military disaster. There were many people with mixed opinions.

Fortunately, when they heard it was Jia Ying's proposal, Tanchun and Xiangyun agreed first. Sanchun is rarely separated, so Yingchun and Xichun don't have to worry about it. Besides, they also had the experience of going south once. Jing Sheng from Jiangnan also felt moved.With a few of them taking the lead, Baoqin and Xiuyan have no objections.In addition, Baoqin and Xiuyan are originally from the south of the Yangtze River, so after entering Beijing, they couldn't help being homesick.

Daiyu knew what happened in Sister Feng's room, and she couldn't bear to see her depressed all day long, so it happened that they could go south together to relax.

There are more than a dozen people, big and small, not to mention the maids and women around them, even if they are all set to go, it is impossible to set off immediately.

Jia Mu looked at Li Wan again and asked, "Are you going too?"

Li Wan moved forward, walked to Jia Mu and stood there leaning against her, and said, "I won't join in the fun, there will always be one and a half people in the mansion to accompany you when you grow old, and you can't all leave. There is no one in the mansion to help the wife with affairs."

Jia Lan was still studying in the Imperial College, how could Li Wan leave him alone in Beijing.

Daiyu also tried to persuade her, but Li Wan insisted, and she had nothing to do.

Here, Jia Mu was worried about the safety of the road. Jia Ying had originally arranged for Jia Yun to escort everyone south, but in Jia Mu's view, Jia Yun was far away after all, so she was not at ease.Jia Lian and Jia Ying were not in Beijing, so Mother Jia ordered Jia Rong to accompany them to the south. There were also two men, Baoyu, and the servants in the mansion and the guards arranged by Jia Ying. Pack your bags.

the other side.

Early the next morning, Song Lun prepared the boat and sent a team of soldiers and horses to escort it.

After explaining that Song Lun paid attention to the news from Jia's mansion in Beijing and delivered it to him in time, Jia Ying did not stay in Tianjin any longer, but boarded a boat and headed for Laizhou mansion against the waves.

The Jiaodong Peninsula used to be the boundary of Laizhou Prefecture, but later Xuanlong caused serious disturbances due to the generation of Japanese pirates in Dengzhou Penglai in the early years, and Dengzhou became the front line of the imperial court to resist Japanese pirates. The importance of the ancient port of Dengzhou became more and more prominent, so Xuanlong The emperor decreed that Dengzhou should be elevated to the prefecture, and Jiaodong should be divided from Laizhou.

After the spring of this year, the imperial court decreed to set up the Shandong Beiwa Capital Division, and the government office is located in Dengzhou.It's just that Song Lu himself is in Laizhou Mansion right now.

Laizhou is the hometown of the Song brothers, and the Japanese soldiers who were called to go north are now gathered in Laizhou Prefecture, ready to go north to Jizhou via Qingzhou Prefecture, Jinan Prefecture, and Hejian Prefecture at any time.

In an empty barracks, Jia Ying met Song Lv for the second time. The last time he saw him was when Jia Ying was working as the head of the party department in the Ministry of War, and Song Lv went to Beijing to meet him.

Song Lu is much older than Song Lun, and he looks like a middle-aged military general, but the two brothers look like twins, very similar.

"Uncle, it has been less than half a year since the imperial court ordered the formation of Beiwa soldiers, and now there are nearly 15 troops under the command of the Beiwa capital, including 1 sailors, most of whom are soldiers from the former Shandong Guards. , The ones I personally recruited are what you saw before your eyes, including the 4 people who went north last time, a total of [-] horses."

"New recruits into the army?" Jia Ying noticed the key point in Song Lv's words, and couldn't help but worry about how powerful these Japanese soldiers would be before the upcoming battle.

Song Lv seemed to have guessed Jia Ying's worry, and said, "Don't worry, Uncle. Although the time is tight, the official has borrowed from Uncle's experience in setting up the Hunan Army Camp when he was in Huguang, and selected old soldiers from various guards to fill in. The backbone, recruited another horse from the countryside, weeded out those old soldiers who were not paid by the army, and although the Japanese soldiers were young, their combat power did not seem to decline."

While talking, Jia Ying was also looking at the drills of the Japanese soldiers, which were also based on the infantry drills in Jia Ying's "Army of Military Equipment". It is still open to question how the real combat power will be.

Jia Ying looked at Song Lv and said, "Your formation of Beiwa soldiers is different from my formation of the Hunan Army Camp in Huguang. Back then, I was arrested as a strong man, and I went up to the top at a critical moment. When the team was pulled up, it was about to fight. Even if we use war to support war and weed out the weak, we naturally don’t worry about the casualties in the event of war. Even if they are all killed, the imperial court will only reward them and not hold them accountable.”

"Preparing the Japanese soldiers is different, not to mention that the scale is more than ten times larger than that of the Hunan Army camp. The imperial court also has high hopes for the preparing Japanese soldiers, and you will not be allowed to make half a mistake."

"I understand." Song Lu said.

"Please tell me, how many Japanese soldiers are there?" Jia Ying asked.

Song Lu smiled helplessly and said, "I know I can't hide it from my uncle's eyes."

"Time is too tight. Although the imperial court has set a staff of 20 for the Japanese soldiers, and some miscellaneous soldiers are thrown away, Zheng Ding can rank as a hundred thousand, but the food and salary from the Ministry of War has not arrived. The subordinate officials have already urged I’ve talked about it several times. Besides, the local guards in Shandong are rotten, and the officials don’t want to see the Japanese soldiers ruin a pot of soup because of the rotten meat of those bastards.”

Jia Ying interrupted: "I just want to know how many Japanese soldiers there are."

Song Lu said: "What you see in front of your eyes is all you want."

"The lower officials are all in charge of the Tong Zhi, and there is another commander above, and the other commander is still in Dengzhou. Otherwise, my lord should be meeting with the lower officials in Dengzhou at this moment."

"So the Dengzhou navy is not in your hands?" Jia Ying had already guessed before coming here that the government office of the Beiwa capital is clearly located in Dengzhou, but Song Lu is in Laizhou. If it is only because of the local complex Because, Jia Ying didn't believe it.

Song Lv nodded and said, "But don't worry, my lord. This situation won't last long. I withhold all the food and salaries allocated by the Ministry of War. If there is no food and no soldiers, they won't last long."

Jia Ying said: "It's too slow. Since the other party insists on not leaving, then you can simply start anew and build another navy. The soldiers are good but not many. With an elite navy in your hands, Dengzhou's Sailors should take off their armor."

Song Lv's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and then he complained again: "It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice. Why don't you think that the lower officials don't think about it. Although the warships of the Dengzhou Navy are dilapidated, but fortunately they are also established. It is so difficult to start a new stove."

"Since I said so, I will naturally help you."

Jia Ying looked at Song Lv and said, "Don't even think about forming a full Japanese army. The navy costs no less than the frontier army, and you can't afford it. The number of soldiers is limited to seven. About 12 will be enough, plus all kinds of miscellaneous soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, it should not exceed 20. Such a large army is enough to explain to the court. With the standard food and salary of [-] troops, to raise [-] troops, even if the Ministry of War is deducted , is enough for you to raise troops."

"As for the warships, a fleet of the Jiangnan Navy consists of nine to thirteen warships of more than one hundred materials, supplemented by various small boats. You can solve the small boats yourself, and I can help you form a new navy. "

After hearing this, Song Lv's face showed joy, and he was also glad that he had climbed into Jia Ying's career in the first place.Since Jia Ying spoke to him in front of him, he would not fail to honor it. Song Lv had seen new-style warships before, not to mention the warship itself, but only the range and power of the naval guns on board. It is enough to beat any artillery of the current Dengzhou Navy, and the firearms of the Dengzhou Navy are much worse than those of the Jiangnan Navy.

Even so, it is difficult for him to get rid of his dependence on Jia Ying, and even his Japanese soldiers will be influenced by Jia Ying to a certain extent, but Song Lv doesn't care about that at all, and he has to pay a price if he wants to get it, not to mention relying on it. There is nothing wrong with Jia Ying, at least this guy is generous and has never broken his promise.

In a word, work carefully.

"Thank you, my uncle, for your help."

The reason why Jia Ying can be so generous is because the initial investment in the Jiangnan Navy and the customs office has paid off.

Although these two are no longer in his hands now, when he first formed the Jiangnan Navy, he paid a lot of money in, not to mention the cost of manpower and technology, and he did not forget the well digger when he drafted water. No matter how particular you are, you will never forget his part.

But then again, even if he just wanted to erase his influence on the Navy, is it possible?
And the Jiangnan Navy is the foundation of the customs office. The maritime trade of Ningbo Port depends on the backing of the Jiangnan Navy to be unimpeded in the sea. How can there be less profit in it.Not to mention anything else, just destroying an unidentified fleet at sea, the profit gained is enough to help Song Lv form a navy.This is not to say that the navy still has its own business in private.

Some may say that this is robbery, blatant robbery.

Officers and soldiers suppress bandits, how can this be called robbery?

As for smuggling, there is no reason to guard Jinshan, and you can still be hungry.

Of course, Yang Bi may have gotten more than him, and there is no way to do it. The benefits that should be given up must be given up. After all, Jia Ying is just a courtier.

"When is the army going to leave?" Jia Ying asked calmly.

Song Lv said: "The new document from the Ministry of War requires the lower officials to arrive in Jizhou before the end of this month. If there is no accident, the lower officials think that after the end of the first ten days of this month, the army should start."

"Can it be postponed for a few days?"

I gave Tianzao just now, and it's time to raise conditions now.

There has never been a free lunch in the world. He is willing to help Song Lu because he needs the Japanese soldiers in Song Lu's hands, and he has accumulated some favors for later use.

Just like how people get along with each other and the exchanges between ordinary people's households, there are exchanges, and this relationship can last for a long time. If one side pays blindly, the final result is nothing more than fighting against each other and enmity. Sometimes it is necessary to Let the other party develop the habit of obtaining benefits and paying the corresponding price. As long as this good habit can be maintained, the intimacy between each other can be maintained.

"put off?"

"How long do you want to delay, my lord?"

Although Song Lv was curious about why Jia Ying made such a request, there was a time limit for the march of the army, and he would be punished for missing the deadline.

Of course, when a person's status reaches a certain level, the so-called crime of breach of duty will also be discounted a lot. After all, it is not to let the Japanese army go out to fight the Huns, but at most it will bring him some unnecessary trouble.

Although he was curious, Song Lv did not directly ask the reason, but gave a not-so-direct affirmative response.

Asking how long it will be delayed means that Song Lv is willing to postpone the departure date of the army for your request.

But in the same way, it also depends on whether the deadline given by Jia Ying is within the tolerance of Song Law. If it violates the military order given by the Ministry of War, it will be difficult for others.

It was Song Lu's question that stopped Jia Ying from asking.

On the way here, Jia Ying has been thinking about this issue. He wants to keep the Japanese soldiers at hand, but no one can determine the date of Yang Yi's cavalry, even Wu Yuqing can only give an approximate time period.

This is a matter of arithmetic.

Assuming that Yang Yi rode on horseback, at a normal speed, it would take about ten days to travel from the capital to Liaodong Town.

If you don't spare any horsepower and change horses along the way, this time limit will be shortened a lot. It is definitely within ten days, but it is also impossible to determine the specific time limit.

But what is certain is that it will not be as fast as six hundred miles, three hundred kilometers a day, even well-trained soldiers will be exhausted, let alone Yang Yi, a prince.

Four hundred miles to hurry, maybe this is the case.

Two hundred kilometers a day, if you ride a horse, is still within the range of a normal adult man.

Moreover, since the decision to rebel is decided, it is necessary to say that a soldier is precious and fast. Zhongshun Wang Yang Chi may return to Liaodong at any time, and Yang Yi does not have much time to waste.

Besides the mount, if it is the prairie horse that the frontier army rides, it does not stop for twelve hours, and the maximum distance in a day will not exceed [-] kilometers. Yang Yi's mount is at least no worse than this, sweat horse If it is [-] kilometers a day, people can't bear it.

It is nearly [-] miles from the capital to Liaodong Town, [-] kilometers, and [-] days a day, and it will take three to four days at the fastest. The reason why it is not a full three days is that the continuous speed of the horses is actually one deceleration.

And that's just a one-way trip.

For the army to march, the shortest time would have to be doubled, or even tripled.

After all, the frontier army in Liaodong is elite and mainly cavalry, even if it is doubled, there is a limit.

However, this distance cannot be calculated from the capital city to Liaodong Town, but the distance from Shanhaiguan to Liaodong Town, which is about [-] miles, or [-] kilometers.

It may take longer for the army to ride alone for two days.

The reason for calculating Shanhaiguan to Liaodong Town is because each city has its own emergency mechanism. If all the troops enter Shanhaiguan and the court doesn’t know anything about it, then either Jiade is stupid or Fu Donglai and Ye Baichuan are too useless.

However, outside Shanhaiguan is within the scope of Liaodong. Once there is a change in the army, this time can be shortened a bit.

"How about five days?"

This is a pertinent answer. Although the calculation is inevitably somewhat idealized, it will take time for the Japanese soldiers to drive to Jizhou, which is enough to make up the gap.

Song Lu didn't make a sound, and fell into deep thought.

"Do you find it difficult?" Jia Ying stared at Song Lu and asked.

"Ugh."

Song Lvchang sighed, took out a letter from his bosom, handed it to Jia Ying and said, "It's not because the lower officials don't want it, you can read it for yourself."

Jia Ying took the envelope, and only after reading the contents above did she understand what was going on.

"People go to high places, and water flows to low places. It is understandable for Song Junmen to do this. It is human nature, so there is no need to be embarrassed. If this is the case, just pretend that Jia has never been here before."

Seeing Jia Ying's unsuspecting face, Song Lv also changed his expression, laughed and said, "Uncle is too flattering to the lower officials, the lower officials have such thick necks, dare to get involved in the battle for the reserve position, it's nothing more than It's because the last time I was promoted, I was in charge of Tongzhi, and I have somewhat inherited the favor of Prince Li, so the letter from him, I don't dare to take it seriously."

Jia Ying laughed instead, and said: "It's not bad for you to say so. Yang Bi did recommend you to His Majesty, but Jia forgot about it."

Song Lv couldn't hear the meaning behind Jia Ying's words, so he hurriedly said, "I know that it was Uncle Ye who helped me go the way of Ye Ge and Yan Shangshu. I can still tell who is my own. , Uncle said something, the subordinate officials immediately copied it, without any second thoughts."

"The lower official just thinks."

"What do you think? You think I'm also the Prince of Li?" Jia Ying could guess Song Lv's thoughts, and from the eyes of everyone in the court, he was indeed closer to Yang Bi.

But how did these people know that it was the emperor's intention to let Yang Bi go to Jiangnan, and it was also the emperor's intention not to let him continue to be in charge of the Jiangnan navy and customs office. The Jia family's roots in Jinling and the southern provinces are too deep. An emperor should be vigilant.Jia Ying was just doing favors, otherwise the emperor would have watched him get along with Yang Bi early on, without any reaction?
I can't even see through this point, what kind of officialdom is there, a really smart person, who would rush to end so early, the emperor has not yet reached the stage of critical illness.I don't see that Yang Yi has been in the household department for almost three years, and Fu Donglai didn't favor him because of this?If there was Fu Donglai's support, would Yang Yi's road to the East Palace be so difficult?

Song Lv said: "To tell you the truth, Uncle, that's what Xiaguan originally thought. Xiaguan is just a warrior who doesn't know anything about government affairs. It has been rumored in Beijing all these years. If the king of Lijun didn't have Uncle's help, how could he be as good as he is today?" Whether it is the Jiangnan navy or the customs office, you have contributed to the situation. Now it seems that the lower officials are self-righteous."

"Rumours kill people. Song Junmen, you are only in your thirties this year, and your official career is still long. It seems that you are already a fourth-rank official at your age. You have to listen to others, and you have to have your own vision to go far.”

Jia Ying dared to talk to Song Lv like this, so it was natural for him to be measured.Three years ago, Song Lu was just an alternate commander of the guards. Jia Ying took advantage of his position and signed him as the commander. In two or three years, he became the commander of the capital and commanded 10,000+ Japanese soldiers. People and horses.If it wasn't for his hard work, the fact that Ye Baichuan also had the same ambition to open up the sea, and his relationship with Yan Huasong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, how could he be where he is today.

But no one in this world is born attached to anyone. If you really think this way, you will die in the end without knowing who sold it.

"Uncle, what you said is right, isn't it just five days, the next official will do as he said."

"Have you thought it through?" Jia Ying looked at Song Lv and said.

"What's there to think about? This official is just a warrior, and a warrior will do what a warrior should do. In the battles in the court, the official will never dare to get involved. The uncle will remember how the uncle treats the official. In my heart, the officials can only trust you." Song Lu patted his chest and said one by one.

"You can't afford to get involved." Jia Ying sneered in his heart.
