The capital was in chaos once when the prince went there.
If you come again...
Jia Zhen was well aware of the consequences of coming again.
Their family has completely sided with the emperor, and those who oppose the emperor... might take advantage of the situation to take advantage of their family.
After all, in the eyes of those soldiers, the Jia family is extremely wealthy.
What to do? Once the capital is in chaos, both the Five Cities Army and the Shuntian Prefecture’s troops will be unable to take care of themselves.
Totally pointing at them...
Jia Zhen was worried.
He went out quickly, wanting to find some people from the Beijing camp.
But when we arrived at the Beijing camp, we found that it had been closed.
Chai Xuyao, the governor of the Beijing camp, gave the order personally today.
Hiss~ This is not right!
Jia Zhen smiled on the surface, as if he was just rejected during a normal visit to a friend, but in fact, there was a huge storm in his heart.
The Jingying Camp is related to the security of the capital. My grandfather and father both said that accidents are most likely to happen during the New Year holidays, and the camp must not be closed during the New Year period.
Now……
He retreated slowly until he was quite far away and the enemy sentries could hardly see him clearly, then he urged his horse to go faster.
It was already dark when he returned to Beijing, but Jia Zhen did not bother to go home and went straight into the palace.
Although there was no evidence, for such an important matter concerning the life and death of an entire family, he would rather make a wrong report and be punished by the emperor than take any chances.
But the emperor had already entered the harem at this time, so it was not so easy to see her.
Recently, because of the incident involving Prince Jin, many people have come to the palace to seek an audience, and the Emperor was extremely annoyed, so he just today scolded the eunuch who had committed the crime.
Now……
Considering that the Queen had given such a large reward to the mother, the young eunuchs gritted their teeth and reported the matter to the higher authorities one by one without Jia Zhen telling them the specific reasons.
"Jia Zhen?"
The emperor looked at the sky outside, frowning unconsciously, "Did you say anything specific?"
"No, but the eunuch who came in said that he had a lot of sweat on his forehead." Eunuch Liu said, "It seems to be an urgent matter."
"Then declare it!"
The queen took the little princess back into her arms and said, "It's so late, something must have happened."
"……become!"
The emperor touched his daughter's face and said, "I will come back later."
The last time Jia Zhen came here, he was seeking medical treatment for his mother.
This time...
The emperor quickened his pace.
"emperor!"
In the imperial study, after kowtowed to the emperor, Jia Zhen's legs went weak and he almost couldn't get up.
He looked around, looking troubled.
Eunuch Liu looked very unhappy. He waved to the eunuchs and palace maids, watched them leave, and then simply guarded the door himself.
It was such a cold day and Jia Zhen's forehead was covered with sweat. He definitely wasn't here to bring wealth to the emperor.
It's either a gift of wealth or... some important news.
Eunuch Liu pricked up his ears outside the door.
"What's the matter, my dear? Tell me slowly. I won't blame you."
The emperor himself had been in trouble countless times, and he put it in the shoes of others, so his tone was very gentle at this time.
"Your Majesty, I...I am going to the Beijing camp today."
What? The emperor frowned, "Is there something wrong with the Beijing camp?"
"No, sir. After my father passed away, I felt uneasy. My mother...my mother often woke up in the night."
Their family had left the army a long time ago. If they didn't find a good reason to go to the Beijing camp, what if the emperor suspected their family...
After experiencing the pain of his grandfather's death and his parents having to leave home, Jia Zhen had to think more.
"I have no other choice but to go to the Beijing camp and find a few acquaintances to ask them to take leave and stay at their homes for a few days."
This is a routine operation of the generals in the Beijing camp.
It’s just like when Wang Ziteng was injured in his leg, he was worried about the safety of his family and brought his soldiers back home.
The emperor was also well aware of this.
As long as the number of people does not exceed ten, there is often no need to report.
If he were Jia Zhen, who had connections in the Beijing camp, he would also go to the Beijing camp to look for someone.
"Why? Didn't you invite him?"
Judging from Jia Zhen’s expression, it seemed that he failed to invite him.
The emperor was somewhat dissatisfied with the governor of Beijing Camp Chai.
When you drink water, remember the person who dug the well.
The Beijing Camp was built by Ningguo Duke Jia Yan and his son Jia Daihua.
To put it bluntly, the first soldiers in the Beijing camp were Jia Yan's soldiers.
He was loyal to Taizu, and Taizu trusted him.
Then his father believed in Jia Daihua, and the prince believed in Jia Jing.
If nothing had happened, this family and the royal family would have continued to get along well with each other.
But when the accident happened, his father didn't do anything to Jia Jing. If he hadn't died early, the emperor thought he would have been useful.
Anyway, the person was dead, and the Beijing camp could no longer do anything at the hands of the Jia family, so he started to think about all the good things.
At this time, only the man surnamed Chai was angry, as he did not give the Jia family any face at all.
"Then, I..."
When the emperor was about to ask him to give him a note to support him, Jia Zhen hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty, I can't enter the Beijing camp at all. I found out after asking around that the Beijing camp was closed."
Closed camp?
The emperor's heart skipped a beat.
Of course he knew what closing the camp meant.
Why did the emperor suspect Jia Jing back then?
Wasn't it because the Crown Prince had launched a mutiny with the Imperial Guards when the Beijing Camp was closed? But when the Beijing Camp was closed, whether it was for rest or training, the Beijing Camp Jiedushi would secretly submit a written application to the emperor three months in advance.
The emperor was suspicious of the Jia family, mainly because he suspected that Jia Jing had also told the prince.
Now……
He didn't receive any written application.
What was Chai Xuyao doing? Or did he report the closure to the emperor? No, the camp had already been closed once in March this year. Normally, the camp can only be closed once a year.
Jia Zhen also knew that the camp had been closed once, so he was panicking.
"Closure camp!"
The emperor gritted his teeth, but his expression became more amiable, "I understand. The person you attacked was a third-rank general, right?"
"……yes!"
What is the emperor going to do? Jia Zhen's heart was trembling.
"Is Tianjin garrison commander Chen a soldier under your ancestor?"
"yes!"
"Well, I will write you a handwritten letter. You will immediately go to Tianjin Garrison and transfer two-thirds of the garrison's troops to enter the capital through the East Gate to guard the East Gate."
Ah? Jia Zhen was stunned. Can he do it?
Seeing the dark light in the emperor's eyes, he leaned forward and said, "Your Highness Jia Zhen, I accept your order and thank you for your grace!"
The emperor wrote quickly.
The situation was urgent and he had to act decisively.
The garrisons around the capital are all my father's men. They will not move easily without my father's order.
However, Jia Zhen’s identity is different.
Chen Shoubei joined the army at the age of thirteen just for a bite to eat. It was Jia Daihua who took pity on him and recruited him as his personal soldier.
Later, he was taken care of by Jia Jing, who taught him to read and read military books.
Tianjin was one of the important defense towns of the capital, and Chen Shoubei had 3,000 soldiers under his command.
If I can't lend him two-thirds, even if I only lend him half, it will help him.
"Extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures!"
The emperor's voice was low, "Jia Zhen, I need you to go and come back quickly."
"yes!"
Jia Zhen stuffed the handwritten letter with the emperor's seal into his arms and hurried out of the capital.
The sky in the capital changed that night.
No one knew that the young generals who came to Beijing from the border towns to receive rewards were secretly summoned by the emperor.
The Thirteen Guards of Ningxia had not yet had time to enter the Beijing camp, but were also summoned.
In a short period of time, from the Imperial Guards to the Dragon Guards, one third of them were taken over by them.
At the same time, Dong Xiaoquan also entered the palace overnight, and when he left the palace again, the Wucheng Bingmasi was under his control.
At the same time, all the royal palaces in the capital were under secret surveillance.
But if there is any unusual movement, we will arrest people at all costs.
At Ningguo Mansion, Youshi heard from the servant sent back by Jia Zhen that the master had entered the palace and then hurried out of the capital. She felt something was amiss and, without caring that her mother-in-law was about to fall asleep, she called Jiao Da to come over.
She had already arranged all the purchases for the palace, but the master was out of the capital now...
You was really uneasy.
"How many people did Zhener bring?"
Shen Ning asked Jiao Da.
"Eight!"
Jiao Da was sweating. Why couldn't you come back and tell me what was going on? Why did you have to go to the palace? Last time, he brought eight people with him, and they were almost wiped out.
Until now, everyone is still recovering from their injuries.
What if something goes wrong again? "...There's an escort agency in the capital, right?"
Every failure makes one wiser. Shen Ning believes that Jia Zhen and the palace guards will not make the same mistake again.
He didn't have time to go home. He first entered the palace and then left the capital. He must have discovered something.
When raiding Lai Sheng and Lai Da's homes, Shen Ning felt that Jia Zhen was quite smart in some matters.
I'm afraid something is going to happen in the capital.
She couldn't control the palace, but she had to take care of the safety of the whole family.
"Yes, Fuwei Escort Agency has a branch in the capital."
"Jiao Da, go and ask for help now."
Shen Ning said: "We will hire as many people as they have, and work with the palace guards to take care of the family first."
"yes!"
Jiao Da left in a hurry.
"Qing Ping!"
Shen Ning raised his voice.
Qingping, who had left to avoid suspicion, hurried in.
"The servant is here!"
"Go to the West Mansion and ask Miss Lanbiao to come over."
"yes!"
Qingping also left in a hurry.
"Mother~"
Yu's heart was in a panic.
She was worried about her family and Jia Zhen.
"Don't worry!"
Shen Ning comforted him, "Maybe we are just overthinking it."
But after a while, Qingping came running back and said that she was a step too late and her cousin was taken away by someone from the palace.
The news is neither good nor bad.
The good thing is that the emperor took action.
If anyone is really bold and dares to do anything, he can be quickly suppressed.
The bad thing is that the family has lost a major fighting force.
"Well, let's go again and invite the Master of the West Mansion and Lian'er and his wife."
While they are on defense here, the West Palace cannot be too idle.
Shen Ning said to Youshi, whose face had turned much paler, "Have a cup of tea and calm down!"
It's easy to get into trouble if you scare yourself before anything happens.
"If something really happens..., don't you have a secret room in your house?"
Shen Ning reminded softly, "Don't worry about anything else when the time comes, just go in."
But her situation... is not that easy to deal with.
The saying "a tall tree attracts the wind" refers to people like her.
If the invaders really broke into Ningguo Mansion, she would have to hide, and probably everyone in the mansion would have to die.
"I...I'm not scared either!"
Yushi tried her best to calm down and said, "I am worried about you, Master."
With so many people at home, what is she afraid of? "Okay, I'm not afraid!"
Shen Ning was good-tempered, "You look bad, go to my room and take a rest."
"No, I'll go to my sister's room!"
Youshi said, "I will come after Uncle She and Second Brother Lian come."
As she said this, she was about to stand up, but as soon as she stood up, her vision went dark and she almost fell down.
"Someone come!"
Shen Ning quickly stood up and helped her up, "Call the palace doctor!"
She was sick, and Jia Zhen and the others were also injured. It was inconvenient to ask Manager Chen to do the same, so they specially invited an old doctor recommended by him to be the palace physician.
The old doctor came over quickly, touched Youshi's hand for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations, madam, congratulations, grandma, you are pregnant, it's been almost a month."
What? Not only was You Shi shocked, but even Shen Ning was shocked.
In the Dream of the Red Chamber, Mrs. You never had any children until the very end.
Now……
Thinking of Jia Zhen sharing the table with Youshi every day in order to have more delicious dishes, Shen Ning couldn't help but smile, "Okay, okay, Doctor Han, is there anything I should pay attention to next?"
Youshi also stared at Doctor Han nervously.
She didn't expect to have children.
She has been married for several years, but there has been no movement.
There was no movement from Jia Zhen's other concubines and maids either.
Originally, she really thought it was because of the eldest wife of the Jia family.
But now...
Youshi couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
Her father-in-law passed away, and she was very busy during this period. She didn't expect...
"Grandma has been overworked lately and is in a state of mental instability."
The doctor said, "Rest properly in the future. I'll prescribe some medicine. You can take it if you want. It's okay if you don't want to take it."
"Open it!"
Shen Ning made the final decision with a single blow.
"Mother~"
"Have a good rest!"
Shen Ning smiled and said, "This family matter..." She thought for a moment, "How about letting your sisters help take care of it?"
Although Yingchun and the others are still young, it is not impossible for them to learn how to be housekeepers early.
After all, each of them has their own business.
"If they can't handle it, you can do it again."
"become!"
Yu Shi stroked her flat belly and nodded on the spot.
Being a housekeeper is a path that girls must go through.
She brought her third aunt's cousin Min Mei here several times after she started studying here.
I feel like I'm doing okay.
She felt relieved to leave it to them.
"I'll post a message tomorrow for Cousin Min and the others."
I posted this for two reasons, firstly, to show my respect for it, and secondly, because kids really like this.
You decided to please him.
After all, she is going to be a hands-off boss.
"You decide!"
Shen Ning had no objection. At this moment, Jia She brought Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng over.
To suddenly invite them in the middle of the night must be something big.
So, they arrived quite quickly.
Shen Ning didn't waste any words. After letting the maids leave, she finished talking about Jia Zhen in a few words, "... Over in the West Mansion, you should also be more careful about the doors."
This is just in case.
It is impossible that the children in Dream of the Red Chamber all grew up, but as a result, she made so many changes that they did not grow up.
"If it can be sealed, it should be sealed for the time being!"
"...Auntie!"
Jia Lian didn't expect it to be such a big deal, "Didn't the emperor... have a stroke?"
His face also turned a little pale.
I was thinking too much at the moment, and the more I thought, the more frightened I became.
How could the relationship between father and son and brotherhood in the royal family be like this? "It is precisely because the emperor has fallen that some people may give it a try."
Jia She sighed.
He knew that this was the last chance for some people.
Otherwise, after the New Year, the emperor’s position will be more secure, and he will really be unable to do anything.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I've made note of this. I'll do the inspection myself."
He supervises it personally and doesn't believe anyone would dare to be lazy.
"It's Lian'er..."
Looking at his son, Jia She said, "You should be more careful these days. If there is anything wrong, hide it first and don't stick your head out." (End of this chapter)
