"No worries!"
"Since everyone recognizes the Jia family as the leader of the founding fathers, then I naturally have to shoulder this responsibility.”
"In the past hundred years, the Jia family has become accustomed to doing such things.”
With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Jia Fou said indifferently.
Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi didn't know, but Niu Jizong, Hou Xiaokang, and Liu Fang knew.
Before the establishment of the dynasty, the Jia family seemed to be prominent, but in reality, it was the Taizu who was afraid of the Jia family. He rewarded them on the surface and suppressed them in secret.
Otherwise, with Duke Ning and Duke Rong's contributions, even a Prince would be able to do it.
In the battle of Yuancong, Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rong, and Jia Fu, the first-class chief of the Xianning government, as well as more than 20 male lords of the Jia family, all died in Liaodong.
It was the Retired Emperor who was afraid of the Jia family's power, so he only gave her the name of a woman and bestowed her with gold, silver, pearls, and jade.
Until now, the successors of the two mansions were only generals, and Jia Zhen of the Ningguo Mansion was a third-grade general.
How sad was it that a noble family of Great Qian had fallen to such a state!
"Uncles and brothers, you came at the right time.”
"I just received some news a few days ago.”
" Divine decree: Marquis Qingxiang, Marquis Xuanping, Marquis Chengping, Marquis Gongling, and Marquis Buning have disrespected the royal family and disrespected the court. They have oppressed the people and committed a heinous crime. They should be stripped of their titles and demoted to commoners. Their entire families should be banished to Liaodong to serve in the army.”
Immediately after.
Jia Fou spat out another piece of news that caused everyone present to have a drastic change in expression.
Among the four founding dukes and twelve marquises, the Qingxiang marquis fu, Xuanping marquis fu, Chengping marquis fu, Gongling marquis fu, and Buning marquis fu were all from the same sect as the royal Chen family. Their ancestors were one of the eight pillar countries of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
In the past, in order to help the Great Ancestor Chen Gan, the five families went bankrupt and many of their people were killed or injured. They had yet to recover.
No one had expected that because of the northern expedition, the few marquises did not send their Di sons. They were stripped of their titles and sent to the bitter cold land of Liaodong.
"That's not right. Why isn't there a Marquisdom?”
The head of the Xiu State Public House, Marquis Xiao Kang, said with some doubt.
Amongst these founding families, other than the five of them, there was still one family that did not send anyone, and that was the Marquisdom.
The first generation of Shi Hou was granted the title of first class marquis due to his meritorious service in founding the country. After the battle of Yuancong, the Shi family made another meritorious service and was granted the title of third class marquis. Thus, they became the Marquis of Bowling and the Marquis of Zhongjing.
One family with two marquises was extremely illustrious in the country, but they were not even willing to send a Di son to the battlefield.
Wouldn't such a crime be even more serious than the five families mentioned above?
How come the Bo Ling Marquis fu and the Zhong Jing Marquis fu weren't punished?
For a moment, everyone thought of the key point. They all looked at Jia Fou, their faces extremely gloomy.
"It seems that my uncles and brothers have understood.”
"My residence's Matriarch was conferred by the Great Ancestor and the Retired Emperor, and today, I'm even more courteous.”
Facing their gazes, Jia Fu said with a fake smile.
"Today, I really did a good deal.”
Niu Jizong said coldly with a gloomy face.
It wasn't just him. Hou Xiaokang, Liu Fang, Yue Zhongqi, and Nian Gengyao all had stiff expressions.
Using in-laws as an excuse was clearly mistreating Jia Cui, but now it had become Jia Cui taking the blame for the Bo Ling and Zhong Jing fu.
This matter was really airtight.
"Brother Nian."
"After spending half of his life and putting in all his effort, he finally became a third-class Cloud Count.”
"You came to my residence today and ruined Yongxi's career. Do you regret it?”
Suddenly.
Jia Cui looked straight at Nian Gengyao and asked.
Among the five people present, Niu Jizong, Hou Xiaokang, and Liu Fang had long stood with the Jia family. Yue Zhongqi had also made an agreement with Jia Rong that night at the Xuan manor. Only Nian Gengyao did not need to come, but he had already come.
At this moment, the other four people's gazes landed on Nian Gengyao. Nian Gengyao's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
In the end, he made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and replied,""I admire the Jia family's loyalty and also praise Marquis Huben's bravery.”
"Since I'm here today, I've never regretted it. Even if I lose my career, I won't hesitate!”
"Well said."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Jia Fou's face.
Nian Gengyao was someone with great potential. In the original history, he had gone from a scholar to the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the general of Fuyuan, the Taibao, and the first-class duke.
He pacified the Tibetan rebellion, pacified Luobu Zangdanjin, and made outstanding military achievements.
If Yue Zhongqi was called a famous general of the three dynasties, then Geng Yao was the pillar of the Yongzheng military.
Now that the two of them had joined the Jia clan's camp, Jia Fou already had a good grasp of the future of this vast world.
"Since Brother Nian is willing to get involved in this mess, I can't let you down.”
"He is not the ruler of the world yet. He is not willing to give Brother Nian a future.”
"I'm willing to support Brother Nian. The marquis position of the founding nobility is already missing. It's time for someone to fill it.”
"Thank you, Marquis Huben."
When Nian Gengyao heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited. He quickly stood up and cupped his hands in thanks.
Even if he wholeheartedly served the country, with Emperor Yong Xi's coldness, who knew when he would be able to advance from a third rank earl to a marquis.
However, Jia Cui was different. He was able to enlist in the army for the first time at the age of 16, and he had made outstanding contributions.
A young hero who looked young but was secretly the leader of the founding fathers.
The words coming out of his mouth were actually more convincing than Emperor Yong Xi's words!
"In this Battle of Datong, the Tartars suffered heavy losses, and the entire battalion of the chechen army was wiped out.”
"Only Zha Saketu Khan and Tu Xie Tuhan were left, leading the defeated soldiers to flee to the North Sea in panic.”
"There are still Rakshasas eyeing us outside the North Sea, so I don't think they have the time to go south.”
"The Kalka and Tumed tribes are entrenched in the Hetao area, facing Ningxia Town and Yulin Town.”
"The Wala tribes are in charge of Moxi, so they have to worry about Guyuan Town and Gansu Town.”
"On the contrary, the Horqin, Wuliangha, and Chahar tribes were driven to the east of the desert, bordering the Jurchen.”
"The pressure on Liaodong Town and Jizhou Town has suddenly become very great. The situation outside Shanhai Pass is extremely grim.”
"The Yue family and the Nian family have deep roots in the Xuan Manor and Da Tong.”
"According to the current situation, Brother Yue and Brother Nian will definitely be transferred to another place to guard.”
"Therefore, I have a favor to ask of you three uncles.”
At this point, Jia Fu looked at Niu Jizong, Hou Xiaokang, and Liu Fang with a serious expression.
"Nephew, if you have something to say, you can say it directly."
Niu Jizong and the other two spoke out in unison.
