Chapter 411 Warning

Jia Lian didn’t know about this little incident in Liangshui Alley.

He has just seen enough of the habits of people at all levels, and knows that even if he gives the order, some people will take chances and secretly do some tricks.

He was also worried that no one would make a raft for him to scare other people, so he asked Zhao Sheng to send people to keep an eye on the thirteen families. If there was any movement, he would just deal with it.

As for Jia Lian himself, after leaving Lin Mansion, he went straight to Linzi Bo Mansion.

The master seemed to have calculated that he would come, and had already set up a stage in the house. Before he could chat with Zhang Su and others in a polite way, he grabbed him and said he wanted to test his ability. In more than half a year, my skills have not deteriorated.

Jia Lian was also happy to accept the old man’s teachings.

Although the old man is old, and even his title now exceeds that of the old man, the old man is different from him.

The old man’s title of first-class earl was entirely based on fighting on the battlefield, with one sword and one shot, and he was awarded the title in white clothes.

The gold content is much higher than that of a noble who got into the position by relying on the shadow of his ancestors and a few saints.

Therefore, the moves and training methods taught by the old man were all summed up by his decades of battlefield experience. Even though Jia Lian only practiced with the old man for half a year, he still felt that they were quite beneficial.

At least he is much better than before when he practiced blindly with Zhang Yong.

After some inspections, some guidance, and some personal competition with Jia Lian, after noticing that Jia Lian was letting the water go, he kicked Jia Lian’s butt several times, and then the old man let his subordinates , the strongest bodyguard fought against Jia Lian on his behalf.

After the personal guard got his signal and beat Jia Lian violently, the old man sat down at the tea table and let the boy beat his shoulders while laughing happily.

The laughter spread to the backyard, making the ladies and grandmothers in the Zhang family’s back house burst into laughter.

Even if no one informed them, they knew that it must be the old man’s precious grandson. He, the old man, has not been so happy for a long time...

Jia Lian rubbed his shoulders, legs and feet, limped off the martial arts stage, came to the old man's side, and bowed silently.

“Haha, are you not happy about being beaten?”

“I don’t dare, my grandson is not as good as others, he deserves to be beaten.”

Jia Lian, who had known the old man's temper for a long time, naturally knew how to make the old man happy.

Moreover, half of his behavior is just pretending.of.

Even with the old man’s order, it was impossible for the personal guards to dare to really beat him, but it was just a big thunder and a small rain.

At the old man’s greeting, he sat next to him and took a sip of warm tea. Immediately, a boy came up and also came forward to beat his shoulders and relax his muscles.

Perhaps seeing that Jia Lian was a little uncomfortable, the old man leaned over and asked with a smile: "Do you not like the boy's service? Otherwise, old man, I will call a beautiful maid to relax you. Loosen the muscles and bones?"

As he spoke, the old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, with a very doting expression.

If Jia Lian had met the old man for the first time, he might have thought he was an old man.

But Jia Lian, who had been deceived before, knew that if he really dared to agree, he would definitely be punished again, so he shook his head quickly.

This made the old man laugh again.

After a while, the old man asked the boys to go down and suddenly said: "You are very proud now. You have become a marquis at a young age, which is two ranks higher than my title!"< br />
The old man took a sip of tea, his face full of displeasure, as if he was jealous of Jia Lian.

Jia Lian knew that the old man had this temperament and would say whatever he wanted. Moreover, true jealousy and dissatisfaction will not be expressed in person.

If the old man was really unhappy about his knighthood, he would not have set up the arena early and made a special trip to wait for him. He would not have smiled so happily just now.

"My grandson is not comparable to my grandpa. His title is earned by one person through hard work.

" My grandson, a marquis, has a certain element of luck. I still know it, so naturally I don’t dare to be proud in front of my grandpa.”

“Humph, you don’t have to belittle yourself.

If you have a family background, it’s in your destiny. When I think back to those days, I secretly hate that I was born in white and had no one to rely on.

I especially envy that old boy Jia Daishan. He clearly knows that his kung fu is not as good as mine, but he relies on his family background to be better than mine, and Being so close to the Emperor, so many good opportunities were snatched away by him.

So in the end, he became the Duke of Rongguo, but I could only be made a count!"

The old man said, feeling a little annoyed, but also looking like he was reminiscing.

Jia Lian only dared to smile slightly. He believed that perhaps his grandfather Daishan’s kung fu was really not as good as the old man’s, but well...

It was rumored that his grandfather Daishan was good at both civil and military skills, and the old man , is a complete illiterate, martial artist.

Even if a war is fought, it is not about personal force.worth it.

Therefore, it is really hard to tell between the two of them in terms of their ability to talk about truth.

But he didn’t dare to say that, otherwise the old man, who was always angry with shame, would definitely not be able to spare him.

"Well, although you have become the Marquis now, I still have some advice to give you, old man.

"If you are willing to listen to me, just say it. If you don't I'm happy to listen, but I don't mind telling you."

After the old man got out of his memories, he saw that Jia Lian had been sitting respectfully beside him, and nodded secretly before saying.

Jia Lian knew that the old man had such a free and unrestrained personality, so he bowed respectfully and said, "My grandson is willing to listen to grandpa's teachings."

"This is number one, although I think the old man You, the Marquis, are somewhat unqualified for your title. I believe many other people will also think so.

However, when you go out in the future, you are not allowed to show off your courteous attitude.

If anyone dares to be rude to you or choke you with words, you will spit on him hard. If the opportunity is right, even beat him hard.

Anyway, you This title is conferred by the emperor himself, so you can be more domineering and beat him until you dare not say anything. Otherwise, if you are incompetent and envious of other people's wealth, you will definitely push your boundaries and not give in.

In short, remember, you are already a Marquis, and there are few people in the country who are more noble than you. If anyone dares to make you unhappy, just make them even more unhappy."

"Hahaha, my grandson will obey grandpa's orders."

Jia Lian smiled. He knew that the old man had good intentions and was afraid that he would be criticized by others. Four affects the state of mind.

However, in fact, although his military merit alone is indeed not enough to make him a marquis.

But he was not originally a marquis, but was promoted to a marquis.

If according to the previous dynasties where the title did not decrease, he should have been destined to become the Duke of the country after his eldest brother (Jia Hu) died!

Even if the titles of this dynasty are decreasing from generation to generation, it is to prevent the excessive burden on the country from being too heavy.

But it does not mean that the country will treat its heroes harshly.

Only one thing, among the four princes and eight princes, only Beijing Palace still has the throne. However, although some of these eleven families have very low titles, each family still maintains the appearance and dignity of a royal or public palace.

The annual salary and sacrificial gifts from the imperial court are also distributed according to the standards of princes and dukes.

So, although he was a second-class general before, in fact, the full title of his title is "Second-class Hereditary Rongguo Gong""General Zhenyuan"!

In other words, his title is based on the title of Rong Guogong.

As a second-class general, he enjoys the title of Duke of Rongguo. Everyone who has been in the system should know that if you enjoy the treatment of that level first, it will be easier to move up in the future.

Put it on the title , the same is true.

Therefore, according to the title system of the Wei Dynasty, the ancestor is a duke. If the descendants become successful, it is not too difficult to become a duke.

The ancestor is a marquis. Yes, it is not too difficult to be promoted to a Marquis.

Of course, the difficulty here is compared to being granted the title of Marquis in white and the title of Duke in white.

In other words, if your ancestor is only a count, If you want to go one step further and become a marquis, it is no different from becoming a marquis in white.

In the same way, if your ancestor is a marquis, it is as difficult as ascending to the sky to become a duke. It is basically impossible in the peaceful and prosperous times. Do it.

This is the reason why Mr. Dai Shan was able to become a first-class Rongguo Gong.

Because his father was a first-class Rongguo Gong. .

Now Jia Lian is just walking up this road.

His first step is to complete the road of his ancestors... …

That is to say, first take over the position of the first-class Duke Rong.

As for whether we can make further progress in the future, that depends on fate!

Besides, apart from his family background, his military exploits are not worth mentioning.

Previously, he only followed Prince Teng to deal with the Tatars, and it took him a full year. Although he had made more than ten meritorious services during his time, they were all small merits.

In total, they were not enough to make him a baron.

And when he escorted Princess Zhaoyang out of the border, he encountered Wala The third prince colluded with the Tatars and won two battles. The scale of the battle was thousands of people, and nearly two thousand were beheaded.

This is a relatively qualified military achievement.

Let alone lead the troops from behind and rush hundreds of miles to rescue the driver.

Since ancient times, the effect of rescuing the driver has been a mystery.

It is possible to make a public official or a marquis. , can be ignored, it all depends on how the king views it.

This is why Emperor Ning Kang dared to directly promote him to the rank of marquis.

Otherwise, even if he had a Rongguo Emperor Ning Kang would not do this based on the Duke's hereditary title.

After all, according to the usual practice, if you want a marquis to appear out of thin air, at least, you have toOnly by wiping out most of an enemy country as big as Oara can you qualify.

Therefore, although Jia Lian knows that he, the Marquis, is lucky enough to be admitted, he does not feel that he is not qualified. Therefore, it is impossible for the old man to worry about himself being unable to withstand the pressure from the outside world and feeling ashamed. of.

He wished that Emperor Ning Kang would directly make him the Duke of the country. As long as there were practical benefits, he would not care about other people's opinions.

　"You are a smart man, and you must have understood what I mean, so I won't be too verbose.

" This second point is almost the same as the first point.

You now carry the reputation of being a favorite. If you go to the battlefield again in the future, you will not be as comfortable as before.

Even I treat you like a brat. You are a little jealous. You can imagine the jealousy towards you from those who have been in the army for decades and have not obtained high-ranking positions and have no titles at all.

You have to be mentally prepared for this. Get ready."

Jia Lian also nodded.

"Finally, we, the honorable ministers, had better not get involved in the disputes between the princes, let alone the affairs of the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty. This is the most important thing, you Be extra careful.”

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhang, who had always spoken in a relaxed tone, couldn’t help but look a little more solemn.

He really liked this person who had been separated for ten years. My grandson, who has just come to visit the family again, does not want to see him make mistakes due to lack of experience and ruin his promising future.

When Jia Lian heard this, his expression became solemn, and he bowed his head and said: "Grandson, remember what grandpa said. Thank you very much for your advice."

"Haha, I just Let me remind you that you are now deeply trusted and used by His Majesty. It is impossible to completely avoid these things. It is just a measure and you have to control it yourself.

Okay, let’s Let’s practice one more time, and then eat here before going back.”

　“Yes.”
