In the evening, the Qianqing Palace and the Hall of Supreme Harmony were brightly lit, and the sound of the palace musicians playing the piano resounded throughout the hall.
There was also a group of palace maids dancing in the center of the hall. Their graceful postures attracted the attention of a group of military generals. Jia Xuan sat in the first seat, and beside him were Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, Hou Xiaokang, Nian Gengyao, Yue Zhongqi and others.
Most of the people present were from the founding lineage and the generals of Liaodong and Jizhou. Even Ben Jinzhong and Gan Guobao joined them, toasting each other and having a great time.
The banquet lasted for more than two hours and ended only at three quarters past the hour of Xu.
Everyone left the hall one by one. Many of them were already walking unsteadily and their figures were erratic. It was obvious that they were drunk. Only Jia Xuan looked normal. The wine had long been transformed by the innate true energy, and even ten tons of strong liquor would be no problem.
When he was about to walk out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Su Peisheng, the internal minister of the Qianqing Palace, approached and said,"Duke Qin, His Majesty has summoned you to the inner hall for a chat."
"Oh?"
Jia Xuan raised his eyebrows, not at all surprised, with his hands behind his back, he followed Su Peisheng into the inner hall leisurely.
A thin middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe and a Yishan Nine Dragon Crown appeared in front of him.
""Your Majesty."
Facing the scrutinizing gaze of Emperor Yongping, Jia Xuan greeted him neither humbly nor arrogantly.
With his current title, he did not even need to bow when meeting the retired emperor, and he could just treat Emperor Yongping calmly.
Emperor Yongping looked at the young man in front of him, his heart surging. What a young face, he destroyed a country at the age of sixteen, unprecedented in history. A trace of envy rose on his face, and he said,"What do you think of the nobles?"
"Back to Your Majesty!"
"Although I am the legitimate son of Ningguo Mansion, I have never enjoyed the rich life brought by the Jia family."
"Not only that, but in order to rebuild his family, he had to join the army and take risks."
"Your Majesty asked me what kind of nobles you are. I can only describe them in eight words, 'all show and no substance.'
Shrugging his shoulders, Jia Xuan replied directly.
28 It was obvious that 28 Emperor Yongping was planning to take action against the nobles with this question, and it just so happened that he had never had a good impression of them.
Take the Jia family, which has two dukes, for example. There are so many dirty things going on in the whole family, but no one has joined the army and is dedicated to serving the country. They can't even inherit the glory of their ancestors. What else can they be but waste?
The Jia family has twenty branches in Shenjing and Jinling alone. There are so many cases of bullying men and women, killing people and setting fires, which are really the root of disaster for the people.
Although he is not a saint, he also supports a truth that the strong should swing the knife against the stronger, not the weak against the weaker.
As a noble, you should kill the enemy for the country on the battlefield and bully the barbarians. You are a hero, but you deserve to die if you bully some civilians.
"Your salary is the blood and sweat of the people. It is easy to abuse the people, but it is hard to deceive the gods."
Emperor Yongping did not expect Jia Xuan to answer like this. He thought that this young man would open up the country for the Jia family. He could not help but utter such a sentence.
This is the"Jieshi Ming" (Inscription on the Stone) written by Meng Chang, the ruler of the Later Shu Kingdom, and was announced to the world in the eighth year of Taiping Xingguo. Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, further ordered it to be erected in the corridor and a pavilion was built to protect it. It has always been used as a precept for officials.
"Imperial decree: confer the title of Duke of Qin and General Tiance as the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Army"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Jia Xuan happily accepted the imperial edict.
He naturally guessed the intention of Emperor Yongping, but the Jinyi Army was a good thing for him to solve the internal troubles of the Jia family.
"The Jia family has three dukes in one family, which is a model of meritorious officials in the country."
"I hope you can stick to your original intention and not forget the big picture."
Waving his hand, Emperor Yongping directly asked Su Peisheng to send Jia Xuan out of the Qianqing Palace.
""Squeak! Squeak!"
Accompanied by a friction sound, a middle-aged man in black sitting in a wheelchair appeared in the shadow of the inner hall.
"What does Master Wu think of this child?
Emperor Yongping asked expressionlessly.
"With a heart of a tiger and a nose for roses, he was first a young man, then the Duke of Qin, standing alone with pride."
"Your Majesty, a knife can hurt people, and it can also hurt people, so you need to think twice before you act."
Looking at the direction where Jia Xuan left, Wu Sidao said quietly.
"I don't have time anymore"
"Anyway, let's wait and see."
Emperor Yongping said helplessly with a gloomy look between his eyebrows.
Today's trip to Daming Palace gave him a new understanding of the emperor. Once the emperor passed away, the hidden dangers within the country would erupt completely.
By then, which one would be easy to deal with, Prince Yi Zhong, the former prince party, the Eighth Prince party, or the underworld forces?
Therefore, time is running out, and he can only choose to use this unstable method to cut off some troubles. However, Emperor Yongping and the emperor ignored a fact that when a person's strength is strong to a certain extent, everything is not a problem for him.
Jia Xuan has never been an object that can be controlled. This is a real dragon that will rise from the abyss at any time and it will be out of control!...........
Imperial Palace, Forbidden City Gate
""Master!"
Bei Ya and a dozen Longxiong guards who had been waiting at the side all stepped forward to greet him.
""Yes."
Jia Xuan nodded slightly and was about to mount his horse and go home, but he saw a group of burly men.
Niu Jizong, the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion, Xiaokang, the First Earl of Xiuguo Mansion, Liu Fang, the First Earl of Liguo Mansion, Nian Gengyao, the Earl of Jinzhou, and Yue Zhongqi, the Earl of Ningyuan, all appeared in front of him, arm in arm with each other.
"Uncle Niu, Uncle Hou, Uncle Liu, Brother Yue, Brother Nian"
"Didn't you all go back to rest? Why are you here?"
Seeing Niu Jizong and others, Jia Xuan couldn't help but show a look of doubt on his face.
"My dear nephew, we heard that His Majesty has summoned you, and we are afraid that you can't handle it."
Niu Jizong said with a wink.
"That's the truth."
Hou Xiaokang, Liu Fang, Nian Gengyao, and Yue Zhongqi all echoed.
Hearing this, Jia Xuan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. Niu Jizong and others knew that they had offended Emperor Yongping in front of Deshengmen today, and just now they had received the imperial edict of the retired emperor in the Jinluan Palace. They were afraid that Emperor Yongping would make things difficult for them, so they were ready to enter the palace to plead for mercy at any time.
With the weight of a state marquis, two first-class earls, and two third-class earls, it was enough to stir up an unusually large storm.
"Thank you very much!"
Jia Xuan immediately bowed to the people and thanked them.
"Hahaha!"
"It's getting late, we should go back home and have some fun. We've been holding it in for a month and we're exhausted."
Niu Jizong said without hesitation.
"That's it!"
"Let's go!"
Hou Xiaokang and the others waved their hands, pretending to be relaxed and mounted their horses to leave.
Watching them leave one by one, Jia Xuan secretly remembered it in his heart, and rode on the Ujumqin horse under his crotch, and under the protection of a group of dragon guards, he galloped towards Ningrong Street. There were no pedestrians on the street, only a few lit lanterns.
In the silent night, the Ningrong Street archway gradually revealed its appearance. A group of more than ten riders ran straight over, but many people gathered under the archway, not knowing what to do.
""Whoa!!!"
Jia Xuan pulled the reins tight, and the Ujumqin horse under his crotch stood up.
The twenty or so Jia family servants waiting under the archway were all frightened and stood there in a daze, especially the Longxiong Guards who came from behind. Each of them was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the murderous aura that came towards them made people tremble all over.
"Brother Xuan?"
""Second Uncle!"
Jia Lian and Jia Rong's calves were still trembling. They summoned their courage and called out,
"Brother Lian, Brother Rong, why are you here?"
After taking a glance, Jia Xuan saw the two figures in luxurious clothes and pale faces.
"Xuandi"
"Our ancestor heard that you returned triumphantly, so he ordered us to wait here."
"There's already a banquet in the mansion, and everyone is waiting for you to come home.
Jia Lian forced a smile and said
"You all go back home first."
With a stern look in his eyes, Jia Xuan gave orders to the Dragon Guards.
""Yes!"
Bei Shi led a dozen Longxiong guards and left the archway directly, heading towards the backyard of Ningguo Mansion.
""You are all blind, why don't you hurry up and lead the horse for the Duke?"
At this time, Jia Lian scolded the dumbfounded servants and led Jia Xuan to Rongguo Mansion.
Some of the people were holding lanterns, some were leading horses, and they did not dare to shout as usual during the march. Instead, they were quiet and solemn.
"Madam, the Duke is back!"
From a distance, a maid entered Rong Xi Tang to report.
""Good! Good! Good!"
Jia's mother cheered and stood up with the help of Yuanyang and walked out. A group of Jia family members and female relatives followed closely behind.
Especially Lin Daiyu and Xiao Xichun, their eyes were fixed on the gate.
"Step..."
But a figure in black armor stepped into Rongxi Hall, his face was grim, and he exuded a chilling murderous aura. Everyone in the Jia family, including Jia Zhen, Jia She, and Jia Zheng, felt dizzy and almost couldn't breathe, and their teeth were chattering.
That was the supreme aura created by the blood of hundreds of thousands of Mongolians and Jurchen Tartars. Even ninth-rank warriors dared not look directly at it, let alone them?
Until this moment, everyone in the Jia family���Only then did I know how the title of Duke of Qin came about. Behind it was a mountain of blood and a sea of corpses.
"Hmm?"
Looking around at everyone, Jia Xuan frowned and suppressed his murderous aura. Everyone in the Jia family felt like they were reborn.
"Brother Xuan!"
"Kill the enemy chieftain in battle and destroy the Later Jin. Your achievements have surpassed those of Xian Ning and Rong Ergong."
"Even if I were to go down and meet the ancestors of the Jia family now, I could still pat my chest and say that I have lived up to my husband's trust.
Seeing Jia Xuan appear in front of her, Jia's mother burst into tears and was so excited that she almost choked. Fortunately, Yuanyang, who was beside her, took care of her.
"old lady"
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's such a great day, don't ruin everyone's mood."
""Uncle She, Uncle Zheng, Big Brother, I haven't seen you for a few months. How is your family?"
Jia Xuan nodded to Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen and asked.
As for the others, such as Lady Xing, Lady Wang, Youshi, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng, they were not qualified for him to take the initiative to greet them.
"Xuan'er!"
Jia She and Jia Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong, but the huge difference in their status inevitably caused some turmoil in their hearts.
"Second brother! Everything is fine at home.
But Jia Zhen was a little embarrassed and at a loss, so he just replied in a panic.
"Brother!"
Little Xichun couldn't bear it any longer, and she fluttered her short legs and hugged Jia Xuan.
"You little girl." 657
657 Jia Xuan picked her up lovingly and held her in his arms. Little Xichun giggled with joy.
"Second sister, third sister, Lin sister"
"During this trip to Liaodong, I got some rare items from the Later Jin Palace. I don't know if you like them. I will send them to each room later."
Jia Xuan has always been very patient with his sisters, except for Jia Baoyu, the"good-for-nothing".’
"Thank you, Brother Xuan!"
Yingchun, Tanchun, and Lin Daiyu bowed, all with smiles on their faces.
Especially Lin Daiyu, her cold eyes couldn't stop being happy since she saw Jia Xuan.
‘"Huh!!!"
Wang Xifeng took a deep breath and glanced at Mrs. Wang.
Others may not know, but she knew exactly how much Zhou Rui's wife had done in the past month. There were also many rumors in the East Palace, which were rampant. Now it was difficult to deal with it.
"Second brother!"
""Second uncle!"
Jia Huan, Jia Cong, and Jia Lan looked at Jia Xuan with admiration.
Since they started practicing martial arts, their personalities had changed drastically. They were more and more like little adults, with a strong determination in their every move.
Because of this, Jia Xuan, who was the best in the country and the most powerful among the Wei and Huo clans, rose sharply in their hearts, surpassing everything and becoming like a god.
"They all look like calves."
"It seems that Jiao Da taught you very well."
"Later, I will ask him to teach you the martial arts practiced by the Dragon Guards."
Nodding slightly, Jia Xuan's eyes swept over the three little ones. They had strong bones and surging blood. They were indeed capable of practicing the human immortal martial arts.
""Great!"
Upon hearing this, the three little ones jumped up happily.
The Dragon Guards are now a well-deserved divine army in Dajing. Three thousand Dragon Guards went out of the desert, conquered Mongolia, destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty, and pacified Liaodong. This is almost like a heavenly army in the storytelling. How could they not want to be as powerful as the Dragon Guards!
"this..."
Jia She and Jia Zheng looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
As legitimate sons, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu were not valued by Jia Xuan. Jia Huan and Jia Cong were both illegitimate sons. Although Jia Lan was one of the legitimate sons of the second branch of Rongguo Mansion, he was no different from an illegitimate son. Jia Zhu had passed away, and the inheritance right of the second branch was in the hands of Jia Baoyu.
In this way, the future of Rongguo Mansion would depend on the three little ones, and they were really at a loss.
As for Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, the two had no ideas. Anyway, there was no one to control them. Jia Xuan was now the only Duke of the country. If the news got out, they could walk sideways in Beijing. What else could they be dissatisfied with!.
