Chapter 371 I Don’t Want to Torture Myself (Please Subscribe)

Jinling Zhen family, this is the time to attack the streets.

Jia Cong had never been exposed to the Jinling Zhen family, but he had heard Jia Huan mention it.

When the current emperor demanded money from the treasury, wasn't it that the emperor fell seriously ill? At that time, the Zhen family realized that something was wrong, and even secretly arranged backup plans.

Among them, tens of thousands of taels of silver were quietly sent to Rong Mansion and handed over to Mrs. Wang for safekeeping.

With Mrs. Wang's temperament, this money must be going in and out, but the Zhen family doesn't know.

But Mrs. Wang's bold move put the Rong Mansion in danger!

Once the Jinling Zhen family is severely cleaned up today, the Rong Mansion will definitely be implicated!

Of course, the current Rong Mansion does not need to worry about this implication!

In the original work of Red Mansion, this was one of the crimes responsible for the downfall of the Rong Mansion.

It can only be said that Mrs. Wang is really ignorant and fearless, and she dares to accept any money.

And she doesn’t plan to pay it back, and I don’t know where she can get the confidence to do so?

Jia Cong didn't pay attention to the affairs of the Zhen family in Jinling. He just rested in Jinling for a day and then continued northward with his three thousand cavalry.

With military escort, no force in Daqian currently dares to act recklessly.

By the time they arrived in the Central Plains, it was almost late spring.

Lin Ruhai warmly entertained Jia Cong at the Chief Envoy's Yamen.

"When you get to the capital, you should do things at your own pace. No matter what happens, don't be impulsive. We can talk about anything else after Brother Huan comes back!"

Lin Ruhai heard some rumors and wanted to inoculate Jia Cong in advance.

"Don't worry, uncle, I know what's going on!"

Jia Cong said directly: "Before leaving Southwest, Brother Huan also said that we two brothers are too conspicuous and will definitely be attacked secretly by many people!"

The army respects the strong, and it is obvious that Jia Huan and Jia Cong are both extremely strong men.

Their rapid rise has definitely impacted the status and interests of the so-called military generals.

These guys are not good birds!

The ability to direct operations may be average, but the ability to use conspiracy methods behind the scenes is not lacking.

At present, Dagan has no big battles to fight, so there is no need for brothers Jia Huan and Jia Cong to continue to shine. There are definitely many people who want to suppress the two brothers.

Perhaps, many members within the Founding Group have such thoughts.

"It seems I'm worrying too much!"

Lin Ruhai nodded with satisfaction and chuckled: "But you don't have to worry too much, the emperor and the court will not be stingy with the dignity that should be given!"

"After all, there are very few military generals who can fight like you and Brother Huan!"

"No matter what, just to be on the safe side, I still have to hold you two brothers high!"

"The title of a first-class male is quite satisfactory to me!"

Jia Huan said happily: "After returning to the capital, whether I am in the capital camp or going to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, I really need some time to rest and recuperate!"

With his age and physical condition at this time, his martial arts skills were at the right time to improve by leaps and bounds.

After experiencing the baptism of war, his own accumulation has become stronger, and his strength will only increase more rapidly.

According to Jia Huan, this return to Beijing is also a good opportunity for precipitation and explosion!

Even if he wants to suppress the momentum of the two brothers, it is impossible for Jia Cong to sit on the bench, but the position may not be so ideal.

Jia Huan's advice is to ignore the disturbances outside and take the opportunity to improve your own strength.

As long as you are strong enough, you will have greater advantages no matter what in the future.

There is no need to tell these words and thoughts to Lin Ruhai, who doesn't know much about martial arts.

"Did Brother Huan mention the cooperation with Prince Zhongshun?"

Lin Ruhai changed the topic and said with a wry smile: "I won't hide it from you, Prince Zhongshun has found me!"

"Why, he still dares to threaten you, uncle?"

Jia Cong's eyes flashed, and his tone became colder: "Are you too complacent?"

Lin Ruhai's eyes narrowed slightly, and the expression on his face didn't change much, but his heart couldn't help but stir up a storm.

It can be seen from Jia Cong's tone that this boy does not take Prince Zhongshun seriously?

Was he influenced by Jia Huan, or do you really have such confidence?

He didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

"Prince Zhongshun did not make any excessive demands!"

"I wrote this letter just to hope that I can help if possible during the transportation of bulk materials and personnel!"

Speaking of this, Lin Ruhai asked curiously: "Brother Huan and the overseas trade he cooperated with seem to have not developed much, and it is about to be exposed to the public!"

"Ha, now that we're here, there's no need to hide anything!"

Jia Cong chuckled and said, "Uncle, there is no need to play riddles. Brother Huan originally encouraged Prince Zhongshun to occupy territory in the outer sea and establish a vassal state!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Ruhai and his close aide Ma Wencai all looked moved.

Although I had already speculated, it was still unavoidable to be agitated when it was confirmed.

That was the creation of a vassal state. It was quite astonishing to place such ambitions on Daqian at this time.

Since the Song Dynasty, the clans of all Han dynasties have been subject to increasing restrictions.

In short, it is almost impossible to have the same authority as one's own clan status.

Especially after the case of Emperor Yongle of the former Ming Dynasty, Emperor Daqian's defense against the clan princes was not as strict as usual.

Prince Zhongshun is still doing well, but those princes who are doing well are like invisible men.

If there weren't such a living person, even the officials in the court would easily ignore them.

But this time, because of the incident in the offshore territories, the royal family and princes went crazy. They took out all their wealth one by one and wanted to get on the ship to give it a try.

Not even the current emperor can stop this!

The royal princes do not have much rights in Daqian, so let them go to the outer seas to find their own territory development groups. If we even stop such a thing, I'm afraid there will be big trouble.

"I have heard of these things occasionally before!"

After the shock, Lin Ruhai said in a deep voice: "After all, when developing overseas territories, whether it is the mobilization of personnel or materials, it is not a small amount, and it cannot be hidden from anyone!"

"It's just that I didn't think about it before, so naturally I don't know the way inside!"

Having said this, he changed the topic and asked: "But this matter has nothing to do with me, right?"

"I have no contact with Prince Zhongshun before. Why did he suddenly write to me?"

"This is so abnormal, it's made me a little uneasy lately!"

"I really don't want to get involved in royal affairs. It's too dangerous and there's no need for it!"

Lin Ruhai also had his own troubles, and it was a headache when encountering such a thing.

But unfortunately, other than talking to his confidants, he could only keep his depression in his heart.

In the past, before Jia Cong rose to prominence, Lin Ruhai would not have said this to him.

But now that Jia Cong has not only risen, but also has an official position and a title, he naturally has the confidence to be qualified to discuss such important matters, otherwise it would be of no use at all.

It just so happened that Jia Cong was a junior, so Lin Ruhai inevitably talked a little more to relieve his boredom.

It would not be a good thing if Prince Zhongshun suddenly wrote to him.

It's not easy for him to take the initiative to report to Jinjian, and he doesn't seem to be responsible at all.

But if today is asked to take the initiative to detect it, the situation will only get worse. Being suspected and worried by the emperor is no joke.

Jia Cong listened carefully to Lin Ruhai's complaint and said helplessly: "Brother Huan has always fully supported Prince Zhongshun's overseas career, and he has put in a lot of effort!"

"Not only Brother Huan, but also the Xue family have followed suit. Otherwise, Prince Zhongshun's overseas career would not be going as smoothly as it is now!"

"It's just that Brother Huan has recently focused his attention on the southwest. His support for overseas undertakings is inevitably somewhat insufficient, and his mentality has also slackened!"

"Those are all careers made with real money. Once the support decreases, we will naturally react immediately!"

"Brother Huan is far away in the southwest right now. Prince Zhongshun is unhappy and has nothing to say to Brother Huan!"

"No, Uncle Lin will soon become Brother Huan's father-in-law. Prince Zhongshun has come to visit. He doesn't want Brother Huan to continue to slack off!"

Lin Ruhai and his close aides were stunned when they heard this, and their hearts suddenly became clear.

I don’t know what it’s like in my heart. Is he being implicated?

"What exactly does Brother Huan want to do?"

This was the biggest doubt in Lin Ruhai's heart at this time. He asked directly: "Have Brother Huan told you that he is not afraid of hurting himself when he stretches his hand so long?"

"Uncle's guess is right, Brother Huan really told me about this!"

Jia Cong put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Brother Huan said that with his ability and strength, he will make a fortune sooner or later, it just depends on the time!"

"If we are tossing things within Dagang, it will be easy to confront the current emperor and those conservative interest groups. In the end, we will either die or live!"

"My uncle has also seen Brother Huan's ability to command troops. As long as he has an army of ten to twenty thousand, he is really sure that he can defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Beijing camp. At that time, there will definitely be a scene of devastation!"

"Although Brother Huan is not a good person, he still has a bottom line in his heart. He does not want to harm the people in Daqian, and he has no intention of breaking the current power structure of Daqian!"

"I have no choice but to turn my attention to the outside world!"

Speaking of this, Jia Conghao said angrily: "This kind of behavior can be regarded as an alternative way of opening up territory!"

"Besides, with the speed at which Brother Huan is accumulating military exploits, it is estimated that before he is twenty years old, the current emperor will have to start guarding against his 'great achievements that will shake the master'!"

“Instead of everyone being unhappy or even fighting each other, it’s better to find a way out as soon as possible!”

"Uncle, Brother Huan also mentioned that the princes under the current emperor are starting to come of age one after another. It is estimated that the fierce battle to seize the heir is about to begin again!"

"When the time comes, with Brother Huan's strength, the momentum of Ning Rong's second house, and your uncle's status, how can you not get involved?"

Jia Cong's words became more and more explicit, but Lin Ruhai's face became increasingly ugly.

Originally, I just wanted to understand the thoughts and ideas of the prospective son-in-law Jia Huan, but I didn't expect to hear this.
