Chapter 31: Jia family’s connections

Jia Mu was wrong, and the Beijing camp has always been the private land of the Jia family.

Among the four kings and eight kings who were founded in the country, the Jia family has always been in charge of the Jingying camp.

From Jia Yuan and Jia Yan to Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua, both generations of the Jia family controlled the 12th battalion of the Beijing Camp.

Most of the heads of the 12th Beijing Camp were also under their command.

These people have served for many years under the command of four dukes from the Jia family for two generations. Although many of them have passed away or retired, the newly-up Yingtou has more or less related to the Jia family.

This is the greatest wealth of the Jia family.

Why did Sun Shaozu walk to Jia She?

It is because I believe that Jia She can make up for the lack of military generals.

Why did Sun Shaozu think that Jia She has this book? It is because the Jia family still has the right to speak in the Beijing camp. Unfortunately, for some reason, Jia She did not do it for him.

Maybe I don’t want to be related to military power.

Just look at Wang Ziteng.

Wang Ziteng is just a descendant of the county magistrate of the Du Taiwei. Why did he become a high-ranking official like the governor of the Jingying in his fifties? He relies on the connections of the Jia family.

The hard work of the two generations of Dukes of the Jia family is actually a joke.

What's more, there is Ningguo Mansion to the east.

In Jinling, the reason why there are four major families is that the power of the Jia family is supported by the Jia family and two dukes.

The two brothers Jia Yuan and Jia Yan were both founding dukes, and they were extremely powerful. The other three families were just the younger brothers of the Jia family.

The Wang family is just a county-level family, and the title will be completely lost after only three generations. What if Wang Ziteng is capable of it?

Without Rongguo Mansion's help, Wang Ziteng's foothold in the army would be a problem.

In a peaceful and prosperous era, it was too difficult for generals in the army to make a comeback, especially those with sensitive positions such as the Jingying Jiedushi. If they have no connections, they are simply something that ordinary people can do.

With the strength of the Wang family, let alone the governor of the Jingying Camp, even if he went to Jiubian, Wang Ziteng would probably not be able to be the general.

So how did Wang Ziteng get up? He didn’t just use the resources of Rongguo Mansion to lift it up.

What makes people helpless is that even if Jia Zheng and Jia Mu help Wang Ziteng, they will help them openly and at the critical moment, so that no matter how Wang Ziteng jumps around, they will be unable to break away from the Jia family, rather than making the Wang family the leader of the four major families in Jinling like now.

As for Emperor Jinglong's thought of asking Jia Lian to go to the Beijing Camp, Jia Lian also guessed that it was just to see how many connections the Jia family had in the Beijing Camp. In addition, perhaps it was to think that if he had to use it in the future, he would let himself take over the position of Jiedushi in the Beijing Camp.

Although Emperor Jinglong was the emperor, he now has few confidants among the top leaders of the army. If Jia Lian had to use it, Emperor Jinglong would naturally not let it go.

However, when you have time, Jia Lian will talk to his cheap father, Daluogang, to see if this old hooligan really holds the Jia family's connections in Beijing.

At this moment, Yuanyang came in and said in a crisp voice: "Old lady, the family banquet has been set up and you can take the seat."

"Okay, then we'll go to the table and have a drink first, and we'll talk about it later," said Jia Mu.

Because they are all close relatives, the matter between men and women was divided into two tables, and they were not separated by a screen.

At the wine table, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and Jia Cong all raised their glasses to greet Jia Lian, and Jia Lian also refused. Since he obtained the bravery of Da Fengxian, Jia Lian felt that he had begun to evolve towards a thousand cups without getting drunk.

Not only that, after receiving the inheritance of Da Fengxian, Jia Laoer felt that his brothers became awesome.

Otherwise, Feng Lazi wouldn't have laughed so hard that she couldn't close her legs just now.

At the dinner table, Jia Zheng felt a little uncomfortable. Seeing Jia Lian’s energetic spirit, he couldn’t help but think of his deceased eldest son Jia Zhu. If Zhuer was still alive, the title of this count would probably not be above the head of the big house.

However, Jia Zhen and his son did not have the messy thoughts of Jia Zheng. The father and son are thinking about how to curry favor with Jia Lian so that they can get some benefits in the future. Moreover, the dispute over the big house and the two houses in Rongguo Mansion has something to do with them. They are here to make a relationship, so they toast Jia Lian frequently at the dinner table, and those praises and flatteries kept revealing them.

Jia Lian didn't care whether Jia Zhen and Jia Rong could be good in the future, that was the emperor's business. Although he was of the same clan as Ningguo Mansion, the emperor would definitely not let him be implicated. Therefore, when the time comes, Jia Zhen and his son couldn't get it well in the emperor, and they should not be implicated in Rongguo Mansion.

Without Ningguo Mansion, the crisis of Rongguo Mansion was left with only the second house. However, as long as Jia Mu was alive, Rongguo Mansion would not be able to separate the family, so in the future, Jia Lian would only pay attention to the second house and not let them cause trouble.

In the next few days, Jia Lian rested at home.

During this period, Jia Lian went to see Jia She.

Jia She looked at Jia Lian with a complicated look, sighed, and said, "I thought my Jia family had nothing to do with military power, but I didn't expect that in just over twenty years, I would be infected with the military power of the Beijing camp again."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "That's why my son came to trouble my father. Is there any relationship that is helpful to my son?"

Jia She smiled and said, "Forget it, since the emperor asked you to enter the Beijing camp, I guess he wanted you to gather the connections in the mansion."

"Our mansion has been under the unknown decades of the Jingying Jiedushi. I don't know how many people in the Jingying can have a relationship with our mansion. Your grandfather didn't let me go to the army to avoid being suspicious of the royal family, and let alone the matter of the crown prince first. Therefore, our mansion could only withdrew from the position of the Jingying Jiedushi. Later, Jia Laoer and the old lady used their connections to push Wang Ziteng to the position of the Jingying Jiedushi. However, their connections were only a small part, and most of them were in the hands of me, the leader of the Hegemon."

"What is Wang Ziteng? If he hadn't had anything to do with our mansion, he wouldn't even be at the position of the governor of the Beijing Camp." Jia She said disdainfully.

Jia Lian was speechless. Wang Ziteng was still a first-class high-ranking official at least. You are now the title of a first-class general.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian suddenly thought of Emperor Jinglong’s other thoughts.

Could it be that the emperor wants me, the authentic heir to Rongfu, to replace Wang Ziteng to take over the Beijing camp?

It is not impossible to think about it. You must know that I was promoted by the emperor and gave the title of Count. In this case, I would never go to oppose the emperor.

In addition, Emperor Jinglong's control of military power may not be ideal. Wang Ziteng, the governor of the Jingying, was promoted by the Emperor when the Emperor was in power. He was the Emperor's member. Most of the generals in the Palace Front Office were old ministers of the Emperor. At this time, Emperor Jinglong urgently needed his own people to control part of the military power.

At this time, he, the heir of the Jia family, emerged and made great contributions, giving the emperor a chance to win over and giving the emperor a chance to take down the Beijing camp.

It seems that Emperor Jing Long investigated his situation in the Jia Mansion and knew that he would not stand on the side of the Supreme Emperor.

But I wonder if Emperor Jinglong would be stunned if he stood on the side of the Supreme Emperor at this time?

Jia Lian really wants to see it.
