Chapter 935: Jia Jing who can’t be guessed by Jizijuan
“Yang Kedong has returned to Banzhou?” Zhang Ti took a deep breath, leaned back on the chair, and his eyes were a little deeper.
“Your Majesty, we have been here for a few days. We have also arranged for two people to be there with two cages of carrier pigeons so that we can keep in touch at any time.” The middle-aged man standing at the bottom replied respectfully.
"Very good, Gu Fang. Your uncle is old and no longer has the ambition of the past. Gu hopes that you can take over all his connections and manpower in the Dragon Guard. You cannot let Lu Song take over everything, especially In the south, it is our territory, there is no reason to give it to Lu Song!" Zhang Ti stared at the other party.
Gu Gu hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, my uncle's side, I'm afraid..."
"I know his current state of mind. He is timid and hesitant. In addition, his father's side is also uncertain now. Huh..." Zhang Ti rubbed the armrests of the chair and said quietly: "Wealth is sought in danger. How can we sit in the room?" Can we wait for the opportunity? Even Gu has the courage, but he doesn’t?"
Gu Fang didn't dare to talk.
"Okay, I know about this. What Yang Yinglong asked Gu to do for him, Gu did. In addition, as I said, Gu will not regret what he promised. As long as Gu can wait for the position of Dabao and return to his native land. The matter of exile can be handled through consultation between the imperial court and the Xuanwei Department, and it will not be too harsh..."
A glimmer of light flashed across Zhang Ti's majestic eyes, "Huguang and Sichuan might as well relax a little. Whatever he needs, we can provide him with food, salt, armor, weapons, arrows, everything..."
"Your Majesty, the Yang family asked if they could provide a batch of firecrackers?" Gu Fang hesitated, "He said that since Liaodong can provide free firecrackers to the Mongols, then Bozhou is at least under the rule of the Zhou Dynasty. Three to five hundred firecrackers shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Zhang Ti sneered and turned to the side, "Mr. Chu, what do you think?"
"No." Chu Qi shook his head categorically on the side: "Liaodong gave the Chahar people fire blunderbuss. That is known to the Ministry of War and the cabinet. Moreover, Feng Tang, as the governor of Jiliao, has the power and responsibility to make temporary changes, but Huguang, Sichuan Although we have some connections over there, if hundreds of fire guns flow into Banzhou, it will definitely lead to a thorough investigation by Long Jinwei. Master Gu cannot hide it, but it will expose us."
Zhang Ti nodded, Yang Yinglong was available, but it would be a bit naive to rely on Yang Yinglong for help, or even think it was a trump card. He had to rely on himself for everything. Zhang Ti had a very clear understanding of this.
What's more, the situation has not yet entered the period that he is most looking forward to, and many things must be done with caution. Zhang Ti is not willing to alert others at this time.
"In this way, let's give a reply to the Bozhou side first, saying that there are not many fire guns in Huguang and Sichuan, and they cannot be easily mobilized at the moment. Let them calm down for a while. When the time is right, they will naturally not be short of him, with hundreds of fire guns. It’s just a gun, I’ll give him two thousand when the time comes!”
Zhang Ti's delaying strategy won Chu Qi's nod, "Your Majesty, this is a good idea. It can stop Yang Yinglong from taking rash actions for the time being and let him wait for our call. Once the Chahar people invade the south in September or October, it may be the right opportunity." .”
"Is Lindan Batur really so ambitious?" Zhang Ti couldn't help but take a breath, "I think there is something weird about a young boy under twenty having such courage."
"Your Majesty, it's nothing more than a tacit understanding with Nurhachi." Chu Qi Yaoshan smiled, "I went to Uncle Ning Yuan's house the day before yesterday and discussed this matter with Uncle Ning Yuan. Uncle Ning Yuan said, insert Han ( Chahar) has always been ambitious, thinking that he is a golden family and wants to unify Mongolia. However, the Donglu are now gaining momentum, so Lindan Batur is a little suspicious. This time there must be Nurhaci's methods involved, so that Lindan Batu can be defeated. You have the ambition to invade the south."
Zhang Ti was overjoyed and then looked worried, "Li Chengliang made it clear, but doesn't that mean that Nurhachi might also be able to fish in troubled waters?"
"Your Majesty, Uncle Ning Yuan and I have analyzed that within ten years the Donglu will not be able to pose a real threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty. At most, they can make some gains in Liaodong, so there is no need to worry too much."
Zhang Ti nodded, and he also understood the implication of Chu Qi's words. If he could not sit on the position of Dabao in ten years, then everything would be an illusion. Let alone ten years, he would probably see the result within five years.
Seeing Prince Yizhong nod, Chu Qi continued: "Moreover, Donglu's main energy can only be placed outside the pass, which is not necessarily a bad thing for us. At least the two towns of Liaodong and Jizhen are unable to enter the pass, which is good for us."
Zhang Ti nodded silently, and then sighed again, "Mr. Chu, is this the only way I can take it?"
"Your Majesty, we have no advantage in the North, inside or outside the capital city, and the Emperor is unwilling to clearly support you. Although the situation is still unclear, we must be fully prepared."
"It's a good thing for Tang Binyin to prepare for going south in advance. There can't be any mistakes in Jiangnan. In my opinion, if possible, Jia Jing might as well go south. He goes to Jinling or Yangzhou to stop and do some things first. He and The relationship with Zhen Yingjia is irreversible, and Zhen Yingjia can also accept him going to Jiangnan. In this way, Tang Binyin and Zhen Yingjia can win the hearts of the people for the prince in the open, and Jia Jing can also make arrangements secretly."
Zhang Ti hesitated, "Mr. Chu, Long Jinwei is staring at Jia Jing very closely,..."
“Didn’t the prince arrange a substitute for Jia Jing a long time ago? You can arrange for Jia Jing to fake his death at the right time. After the dead person is put on makeup, it is difficult to see the clues, so he is said to have died of swelling after taking cinnabar...”
Chu Qi knew that Prince Yizhong valued Jia Jing very much, not only because he had always followed the prince, but also because Jia Jing did have some abilities. He once served as Zuo Yude in Zhan Shifu, and later served as the official of Jiangxi and Zhejiang in the transfer department. Si Langzhong, the prince was deposed as Prince Yi Zhong when he was appointed as the Young Master of Zhan Shifu. He was also impeached by the Metropolitan Procuratorate for his inability to assist the prince. After he was dismissed from office, he became a monk and went to Xuanzhen Temple to practice Taoism.
It can be said that if Jia Jing had not become a monk to practice Taoism to protect himself, it would not have been Wang Zinian's turn to take charge of the prince's wealth. But even so, the prince had never forgotten Jia Jing, and Chu Qi knew this very well.
Even Chu Qi vaguely knew that the reason why Jia Jing was dismissed from office was largely because Jia Jing repeatedly persuaded the prince to sever ties with that person in the palace, but the prince always agreed on the surface but secretly continued to disconnect, which resulted in a catastrophe. Although he was deposed as a prince, Jia Jing, the young master, became ineffective in doing things.
Zhang Ti's eyes lit up, this was a good idea.
Jia Jing had worked as a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs for many years and had many contacts with officials in Zhejiang and Jiangxi. He was familiar with the situation. Moreover, the Jia family was the head of the four oldest families in Jinling and had deep connections in South Zhili. Jia Jing went to South Zhili. Bian can then join forces with Zhen Yingjia to integrate the resources in Jiangnan overtly and covertly to lay a solid foundation for himself.
Nodding slightly, Zhang Ti thought for a moment and said, "This is feasible. Mr. Chu, I will leave it to you to arrange this matter. Be careful and make sure nothing goes wrong."
************
When Feng Ziying arrived at the gate of Jia's Mansion, before she even got out of the car, someone rolled and crawled out of the gatehouse.
After taking a closer look, it was Zhang Cai. Feng Ziying also knew that Zhang Cai was a high-ranking figure in the house, but the people in his house were very close to Zhou Rui's family, so he was considered to be half a prominent figure among the servants. .
“Hey, Zhang Cai, why are you so impatient?”
"Master, you are here. How dare you sit on the door like a bunch of blind people? Why don't you rush the carriage to the yard for me?" Zhang Cai smiled with a smile on his face, and his wrinkles were squeezed out. , with his body half-bowed like a shrimp, he followed Feng Ziying who got out of the car step by step, "Shall I see the gentlemen first, or go to the garden first?"
This sentence really stopped Feng Ziying. He originally didn't plan to see Jia She and Jia Zheng. He just wanted to see the two daughters Daiyu and Baochai. He didn't know how long he could stay inside. Maybe tomorrow. As soon as he set off to return to Yongping Mansion, he didn't have enough time, so he hurriedly came to see Daiyu Baochai first.
But when Zhang Cai asked this guy, he felt a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Are you two gentlemen here?"
“The eldest master is here, but the second master is not.”
Zhang Cai's words made Feng Ziying breathe a sigh of relief. It would be good if Jia Zheng was not here. She thought for a while and said, "Since Uncle Zheng Shi is not here, I will come to visit the two masters together another day. Today I will go to the garden first." "
Zhang Cai nodded repeatedly and walked in with Feng Ziying, "Over there with Mr. Bao..."
Feng Ziying wished she could kick this guy aside and get him up. He just wanted to see the girls, so how could he care about meeting Baoyu? But you look so sincere, it’s really hard for you to say anything.
"Oh, Baoyu is here too?" Feng Ziying asked smoothly, still thinking about how to deal with it, and Zhang Cai added: "Not only is Bao Er Master here, Huan San Ye is also back today. If I know that Master is coming, I will definitely Will be here immediately."
It's over. Feng Ziying knew that with Zhang Cai's virtue, as soon as he entered the garden, this guy would immediately rush to Baoyu and Jia Huan to report the news. Feng Ziying was afraid that he had not said a few words to Daiyu Baochai. The two of them can make it over.
Taking a deep breath, Feng Ziying thought for a while and then said: "In this case, Zhang Cai, go and tell Baoyu and Brother Huan that I will go to Yihongyuan in a while and let the chef spend some money. I will have lunch in Yihongyuan." Hongyuan had a meal with Baoyu and Huan Geer, so that I could have a nice talk with the two brothers. I will go to the garden first."
"Okay." Zhang Cai was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "You can eat at Mr. Bao's place. Mr. Bao will definitely be very happy."
