The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 505 Go to Brother Min too

When the Provincial Courtyard of Jia's Mansion was just started to be repaired, it first built a lot of shops on the side facing the street.

Because it is close to Ningguo Mansion, Rongguo Mansion and Ningrong Street, these shops are sold out quickly.

Later facts proved that the business of these shops was indeed generally good, and it is still the same until today.

At the beginning, Jia Qiang also opened a shop called "Yangguan" here, and he has been here since he came back from Beihai this time.While doing business, he performed the task Jia Min gave him - secretly protecting the safety of each family.

In addition to Jia's family having already sent the girls away, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, and Wei Ruolan's family also sent their young people and some of their female relatives to Beihai.

Not long ago, several families had already set out on the road separately and are currently on their way to Beihai.

At this time, Jia Qiang and Jia Qiang were in the shop, chatting and drinking tea on the surface, but they were actually waiting for someone, and this person was Zhou Tong, the current commander of the Jinyi Army.

It was getting late, and the pedestrians on the road gradually became less and less. Ningrong Street, which was noisy during the day, had already calmed down.Only the Yuyin Hall not far away can hear the sound of silk and bamboo from time to time.

The door opened, and a tall, 27-looking man entered.

"Sorry, I am late."

"Brother Zhou is being polite, it's not too late, please come inside."

It was Zhou Tong who came.

Jia Lian led the way, and Zhou Tong followed into the inner room. Jia Qiang opened the door and looked around. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, she came back and sat down in the inner room.

On the table inside, the wine and food have already been set up.

"Come on, Brother Zhou, please feel free to serve. Bouillon and mussels are not a respect."

"Second brother Lian, you don't have to be polite. I'm already flattered by the hospitality. I came here today because I have two things to tell my second brother Lian. Take a look at this."

Zhou Tong took out some papers and handed them to Jia Lian.

What is written on the paper is the time of the guests coming and going to and from Jia's mansion, as well as the time when the master and main housekeepers of Jia's mansion entered and left Jia's mansion in the recent period.

"Brother Zhou, this..."

"Second Brother Lian, this is the surveillance record of the Jinyi Army, but it is not surveillance under my control."

"Brother Zhou is saying that within the Jinyi Army, there are still forces that are not controlled by you?"

"On the surface, they are all controlled by me. In fact, there are some people who secretly take orders from others. Not only me, even Xie Kun back then."

The Jinyi Army is directly under the emperor's orders, and being able to place its own people in the emperor's pro-army shows the strength of the behind-the-scenes forces.

"This is the first thing, and the second thing is that I can't help you in the future. Brother Lian has to do it for himself."

"Brother Zhou means...?"

"I have received definite news that I will be transferred to the Shaanxi Provincial Inspectorate, and I will leave the imperial capital soon."

"How could this be?"

"Well, the current situation is turbulent. I was the number one scholar hand-picked by the emperor. Over the years, I have been walking in the palace and receiving divine grace. Now the emperor is seriously ill. Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it, and drink."

As soon as Zhou Tong said it, Jia Lian understood.

Because Zhou Tong is the emperor's man, and now the crown prince supervises the country and is about to succeed the general, naturally he will not be regarded as one of his own.

For such a key position as the Jinyi Army, how could the prince not let his own people go.

"Who will take over the Jinyi Army?"

"The people around the prince, Sun Tongren and general Sun Shen, who were brought back from North Vancouver with the prince, you should be familiar with."

This Sun Tongren was the same general Sun who was with the prince when Jia Min rescued the prince from Wendula Mountain.

"As far as I know, Tongren Sun is an incompetent person, how can he take on the important task of Jinyi Army?"

"Second brother Lian, don't you understand? The current situation is all about loyalty and infidelity. As for whether you have the ability, hmph! How many people can compare Huaiyuan's ability? Until today, when I was with Zuo Linliang , and often discuss it. The number one scholar back then should actually belong to Huaiyuan."

"But what about the result? Aren't they also abandoned? It's a pity for Huaiyuan."

"It's a blessing if you lose your horse. Brother Zhou's departure from the imperial capital this time may not be a bad thing."

"That's right. Going to Shaanxi means leaving the imperial capital, which is a place of misfortune. So, I would like to thank them. By the way, where is Huaiyuan now?"

"Doing business in Beihai."

"Oh, it's a pity that Huaiyuan is a talented person. He was in charge of Bu Kui for only two years, and he made Bu Kui flourish. How many people in the world can achieve such achievements?"

"Fourth brother Min has shown his sharpness, and he is destined to find it difficult to gain a foothold in the court. Now it is a good thing to be free and easy outside."

"The emperor now understands and wants to use Huaiyuan, but it's too late."

It has already spread about the fact that Emperor Yuanheng appointed Jia Min as the right servant of the Ministry of War.

In this regard, some people say it is good, some people say it is bad, and so on.

Anyway, people also know that it is impossible to use Jia Min again now.

Although it was Jia Min who rescued the prince and princess from Wendula Mountain, if he had been activated because of this, he would have been activated long ago.

Even if Jia Min was appointed as the deputy head of the Clan Mansion, it was just a stopgap measure.

According to the outside world, it was generally believed that it was only because Jia Min had made too much contribution to Wendula affairs, and the emperor had no choice but to do it.

The purpose is just to block the mouths of people who don't know the rewards and punishments.

Now Jia Min is exceptionally used as the right servant of the Ministry of War to preside over the national military training. For Jia Min, it is well used.

It's a pity that the crown prince is now in charge of the country and has taken control of the government. The crown prince has never liked Jia Min, so he naturally shelved this discussion.

In fact, even if the crown prince does not shelve it, it will be very difficult for Jia Min to become the right servant of the Ministry of War if he wants to train soldiers in his own way.

Li Yuan is a student of Luo's family, and the household department is now directly in Luo Hanlin's hands.If Jia Min wanted to push his ideas forward, these two barriers faced a lot of resistance.

Not to mention that Jia Min would no longer be the right servant of the Ministry of War, even if he wanted to, he might not be able to make any achievements in a short period of time.

Zhou Tong's opinion is actually very accurate.It's too late for the emperor to wake up now.

"There is another thing, so that Brother Lian can know."

"Brother Zhou, it's okay to say."

"Bu Kui and He Jialin may resign in the near future."

Resignation to wait for appointment means to be transferred from the original post and wait for appointment.

The transfer from the original position takes effect immediately. As for when to take up a new position or any position, it is not certain.

He Jialin is Wang Ziteng's brother-in-law and two important generals under the command of Jingying Wang Ziteng.

The signal conveyed here is that Wang Ziteng's military power is about to be weakened.

Zhou Tong left, Jia Lian and Jia Qiang felt a little depressed.

"Forget it, let's keep in touch with Qiu Liang more in the future. Let's go to Qionglin."

Jia Lian said, and went out with Jia Qiang.Neither of them rode a horse, so they walked to Qionglin Restaurant.

After walking two streets, we arrived at Qionglin Restaurant, where Ma Shangde was already waiting at the door.

Without saying anything, he went inside.

There were already three people inside, namely Niu Jizong, Liu Fang and Chen Ruiwen.

"I've kept you waiting for a long time. I can't get away with some trivial matters at home. I'm sorry."

"Second Brother Lian, you are welcome, we are all brothers, please take a seat."

"I don't know how many of you have come to our brothers, what advice do you have?"

"To be honest, there are some things that I need to ask Lian's second brother."

As Niu Jizong spoke, he poured wine for Jia Lian and Jia Qiang.

"Brother Niu, it's okay to say, if I know, I will know everything."

"Where is Brother Min now?"

"Doing business in Beihai."

"I heard that Baoyu and the girls from your mansion have gone to Bukui, is there such a thing?"

"It has indeed gone."

This matter is no longer a secret, and Jia Lian has no need to hide it.

"Second Brother Lian, please don't worry too much. There were indeed some conflicts between our family and your family at the beginning. However, we were the ones who lost in the end. Regarding the grievances here, when we were in Wendula, we had already resolved all grievances with Brother Min. Now I'm looking for Lian's second brother to ask for something."

"Brother Niu may as well say bluntly, if he can help, he will do his best."

"Our family also wants to follow the example of your family and ask the girls and children in the family to go out to experience some experience. If possible, we will also go to Bukui Beihai to do some business. We are clear about Brother Min's abilities. No matter where he is, It’s all about standing.”

"You mean..."

"Please ask Lian's second brother to write a letter to Brother Min for us. When our family gets there, we can take care of Brother Min."

"You are also clear about the temperament of fourth brother Min. As long as you go, he will naturally help. In fact, whether you write this letter or not is irrelevant."

"If we go, it's easy to say, but the four of us have to stay in the imperial capital, and our family members are not familiar with Brother Min, so we found Second Brother Lian."

"Since that's the case, I'll write you a letter. However, when you get there, you still have to rely on yourself."

"That's natural. Although our family is not as good as before, we can still find some money. When we get there, we won't be a drag on Brother Min."

The four families of Niu, Liu, Chen, and Ma belong to the other four males on the four kings and eight kilometers.Including Rong Guogong and Ning Guogong of the Jia family, there are six princes in total.

The other two are Hou Guogong Hou's family and Shan Guogong Shi's family.

At the beginning, Jia Min obtained the evidence of Ma Qiming and Chen Jiayin's collusion by exterminating the bandits of the Lu Bawang in Wulongshan. Later, the two were sent to the military station to serve.

After recovering South Vendura a few years ago, the two were pardoned and recalled by Yuan Heng, but they have not been reactivated since then.

According to the Dharma practice, people like Ma Qiming and Chen Jiayin can also be reactivated.However, in Yuan Heng's era, none of them were activated, and these families were relatively estranged from the prince, and now the hope of their comeback is even slimmer.

At this time, the major families are already at war, and the situation of many families is similar to that of the Jia family.

What Niu Jizong and his family did was just to find a way out for themselves.

Yuan Heng had already weakened the major families in a round before, but he hadn't broken his face yet.

Now that the crown prince is about to ascend the throne, if there is another round of purges, just find an excuse, and they will fall into a place of eternal doom.

These few families are not like Jia's, and Jia Min's escape route in Beihai is available. Now if he wants to arrange for the younger generation, he has to find Jia Min.
