Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 256 Confidentiality?Want to test?
Because I chatted with Emperor Longqing for a while, it was already noon when I came out of Daming Palace.

Jia Qiong estimated that Wang Yuyan and the others should have gone home, so he rode directly back to Osmanthus Alley.

When he arrived at the door, Jia Qiong asked the concierge: "Have they come back, madam?"

The concierge returned: "Sir, my wife sent a message back, saying that she met King Beijing and his concubine while looking at the garden, and may have to come back later."

Jia Qiong nodded. He wanted to pick them up, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. He really didn't want to have too much to do with King Beijing.

He turned around and ordered: "Ping An, go to Qinglongfang to urge them, tell them that aunt is here, and ask them to come back early.

"It's my lord."

Ping An responded and mounted his horse to report the news.

Jia Qiong returned to the back house and changed into regular clothes, then walked to the backyard under the plum tree, still thinking about the scene in the south study just now.

Emperor Longqing asked: "If the Marquis of Jingnan goes to the southern border, then the post of Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp will be vacant. Do you have any ideas?"

When Jia Qiong heard these words, her heartbeat could not help but speed up a bit.

The power of the Jingying Jiedu Envoy far exceeds that of ordinary governors and governors, and may not even be comparable to that of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies.

If he can take over the capital camp, he will immediately become a heavyweight who can influence the situation of the government.

Such a huge temptation was placed in front of him, but Jia Qiong immediately rejected it without even thinking about it.

He said: "The emperor is joking. The Beijing camp has the responsibility of guarding the imperial capital. Its scale far exceeds that of the local regiment camp, and it is even more difficult to control it.

Not to mention the Jiedushi of the Jingying camp, even a general in the Jingying camp, I may not be qualified for the job. "

Emperor Longqing said: "You are a descendant of Ning Guogong, and there are many old members of your Jia family in the capital camp.

If you want to control Jingying, it will be much easier than others. This is your advantage. "

Jia Qiong didn't know whether Emperor Longqing really wanted him to take over the capital or was just testing him.

He continued to refuse: "But I have no experience in training and commanding troops, and I don't have any measurable military exploits.

How can one convince the public simply by relying on the name of Ning Guogong's descendant? "

Emperor Longqing shook his head and said, "Why don't you have any military exploits?

The Battle of Hetao and the annihilation of the White Lotus Sect were all due to your military exploits. "

Jia Qiong said: "The war minister in the Hetao War just followed General Yang Zhenye and gained some military exploits. The annihilation of the White Lotus Sect is not a big event. It is really impossible to do anything."

Emperor Long Qing shook his head and said with a smile: "You are too humble. I'm afraid you are the only one who feels that you can't take advantage of it."

At this time, he took out a simple wooden box from behind, handed it to Jia Qiong and said, "Open it and take a look."

Jia Qiong opened the box in confusion and saw a simple gold medal with a dragon pattern inside.

The word "Ning" is written in seal script on the front, and a line of small characters is engraved on the back: With this order, all the troops in the Beijing camp can be controlled, and those who disobey will be killed.

Under the token, there is a piece of black silk folded together and edged with gold.

Emperor Longqing said: "This is the token and military flag that my father gave to Duke Daihua.

With this order and flag, Duke Daihua can mobilize the army in the capital at any time without the need for military symbols or orders.

Ji Hongzhang accidentally discovered this when he was inspecting Jia Jing's belongings. I will return him to you now.

With these two things, plus your previous military exploits, plus the honor of being a prince-in-law.

It is not impossible for you to take control of Jingying. "

Jia Qiong was so frightened that she knelt down and said, "No, Your Majesty, these two things should not exist at all.

Daihua Gong is dead and no one in the Jia family can hold this thing anymore. Please take it back, your Majesty! "

Emperor Longqing looked at Jia Qiong who was kneeling on the ground, and after a while he said: "You really don't want to take over the capital camp? That belongs to your Jia family.

It was for these two things that Jia Zhen poisoned her own father. "

When Jia Qiong heard this, she felt even more frightened and uneasy. It turned out that this was the reason why Jia Zhen killed her father.

But how Emperor Longqing knew about this matter, and what role he played in it, I'm afraid he will never know this in his lifetime.Jia Qiong said quickly: "In the whole world, there is nothing but the king's land; on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers.

This capital camp is naturally the emperor's capital camp, and the Jia family only once controlled it on behalf of the emperor.

Jia Zhen is really stupid to commit such a crime.

Other members of the Jia family would never have such thoughts. I had never even heard of these two things before today. "

Emperor Longqing said: "You are loyal and courageous, unlike Jia Zhen and others.

Now you are about to become my son-in-law. I have absolute trust in you. I feel relieved to leave these two things to you.

With them, you can take control of the capital camp for me as soon as possible.

This is called making the best use of things, so you don’t have to be so scared. "

Emperor Long Qing said it sincerely, but Jia Qiong remembered what Wang Mu told him: if you want to eat more, don't bite the hook easily.

He said: "The emperor has such trust in me, and I am very grateful.

However, these two things are really not something that I should master, and I really dare not accept them.

If the emperor wants me to take over the capital camp, please give me some time to go to the frontier to practice first.

Once you gain experience and military exploits, come back to defend the capital for the Emperor. "

Emperor Longqing was silent for a moment and then said helplessly: "Why are you so cautious at such a young age?

That's all, since you don't dare to accept it, just stay here with me for now.

I have said that I have not decided yet whether I will allow you to join the army or not.

I know that you have the talent to help the world. It would not be appropriate for you to be a pure warrior. I also hope that you can bring me the best seeds from overseas.

If you don't accept these two things, it will be basically impossible to take over the capital camp in a short time.

Sima Aiqing should be able to hold on for a while. I will find another way to deal with the Beijing camp.

I'll give it some thought to the errands you have to do next.

During this period of time, you can just settle down and be your Hanlin bachelor.

By the way, you should also think carefully about what errands you want to do. If you have any ideas, come and tell me. "

Jia Qiong hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Yes, I thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Longqing smiled and said: "Okay, stop kneeling, let's finish this game of chess."

Until now, Jia Qiong was not sure.

Did Emperor Longqing really want him to transfer to the military and take over the capital camp this time, or was it just a test?

The only thing he figured out was Jia Zhen's motive for killing her father.

Jia Zhen's purpose of getting the flag was obviously something that Emperor Longqing could not tolerate, so his crime was exposed so quickly.

This is a good thing for Jia Qiong, as it saves him a lot of trouble.

Now the next leader of the Jia family has not yet been decided. Jia She wants Jia Cong to be the leader, but many people support Jia Qiong more.

The children of the side branch are basically supporters of Jia Qiong, and Jia Zheng actually supports him, but it is difficult to say it clearly due to Jia She's face.

Only some elderly old-fashioned people supported Jia She because Jia Cong was Jia Jing's stepson.

After Jia Qiong inherits Ningguo's palace, the position of patriarch will naturally fall on his head.

"Mom, where are you?"

While Jia Qiong was deep in thought, he suddenly heard Xu Weirui's voice.

Knowing that it was Wang Yuyan and the others who were back, Jia Qiong stopped thinking and turned around and walked out of the backyard.
