save the bachelors

Chapter 4711 [Prince Rong]

"Master, you know that as a banished immortal, I can choose any family to reincarnate into. Even if I were to be a prince in the royal family, it would be a piece of cake." Xiang Nan said, "But why should I be reincarnated into your family?"

Jia Zheng shook his head.

"The reason why I joined the Jia family was because I met the spirits of Lords Ning and Rong." Xiang Nan explained, "They said, 'Since our dynasty was established, our family has been famous and prosperous for generations, but even though it has lasted for a hundred years, our fortunes have finally run out and cannot be reversed. Therefore, although we have many descendants, none of them can carry on our legacy.' That's why they asked me to join the Jia family to avoid the disaster of having my family confiscated and my clan exterminated."

"So it is!" After hearing his words, Jia Zheng, Jia She, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and others were all stunned.

"My ancestors are still in heaven. I am an unfilial person and I am sorry for causing them trouble." Jia Zheng cried bitterly.

Jia She, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and others also looked ashamed.

"So even if I'm around in the future, you should behave yourself." Xiang Nan added, "Accumulate more merits and do less harm. Things like prostitution, gambling, raping other people's wives, monopolizing lawsuits, corruption, plundering, and loan sharking will never be allowed. You must know that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, it's just a matter of whether it comes early or late."

Everyone nodded quickly.

……

Soon in the afternoon, a servant came to report that Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the six palaces, had come to convey the imperial edict.

Jia Zheng immediately ordered someone to open the central gate, set up an incense table, and went to the south hall to receive the imperial edict. He then took Jia She, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and others with him to receive the imperial edict.

Xia Shouzhong unfolded the imperial edict and read aloud, "The Emperor, in accordance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Jia Zheng, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Works, has fulfilled his duties and served the people diligently... I hereby confer upon you the title of Prince Rong, and allow you to enter the palace with a sword and sandals, enter the court without rushing, attend the court without kneeling, and ride in the imperial carriage for half the court, with the same rank as the emperor. You should be so respectful!"

After reading it, Xia Shouzhong smiled and said to Jia Zheng, "Congratulations, Prince Rong, congratulations, Prince Rong, this is a great joy, thank you!"

"I dare not accept this order." Jia Zheng immediately knelt down and said, "I beg you to take the imperial edict back. I have no intention of being disloyal."

He was determined not to be "Prince Rong".

"This..." Xia Shouzhong was a little embarrassed for a moment. This was the first time he encountered someone disobeying an imperial order.

Other officials simply didn't have the guts to disobey the order. If there were such fools who disobeyed the order, he could just order the imperial guards to attack. But Jia Zheng disobeyed the order, and he had no way to deal with it.

Because Xiang Nan's ability was so great, he blew away the 40,000 troops in the capital with one breath. He could enter and exit the imperial palace without any hindrance.

Such a person is capable of changing dynasties and manipulating the world.

The emperor was very worried about this matter and summoned all his ministers to discuss the matter last night. After much discussion, no one could come to a definite conclusion.

It was not until Wang Ziteng came to visit that he finally decided to follow Xiang Nan's advice and confer the title of "King of One Word" on Jia Zheng.

The title is indeed the best, but it has no real power. Just like Sun Wukong, who was given the title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven, but had no real power and was not in charge of any department.

"Since my father was conferred the title of King of the Same Character, and there was a royal procession, all the civil and military officials should be sent to pay their respects. And the corresponding ceremonial guards, service, clothes, hats, and seals should be provided." Xiang Nan said coldly, "Now you are only sent as an eunuch to announce the decree, without any other ceremonial guards, service, clothes, hats, and seals. How can this be considered as a formality?

Go back and tell the old emperor that if he wants to confer the title of 'King of One Word' on my father, he should be sincere and do his best. It's not good to be so careless and perfunctory! ! "

These words frightened Xia Shouzhong so much that his face turned pale.

"Shut up! You are so bold to speak to the Prime Minister like this." Jia Zheng immediately scolded.

Xiang Nan curled his lips when he saw this.

Although he had told Jia Zheng before that Emperor Jiaxing had long harbored evil intentions towards the Jia family and wanted to dismiss the Jia family from their posts, confiscate their property and exterminate their clan, in order to wipe out the entire family.

It stands to reason that Jia Zheng should wake up and stop speaking for the emperor. But unfortunately, Jia Zheng has read corrupt books and his mind has become rigid. It is estimated that he will not be able to change it in a short time.

Just like those superstitious people, even though technology is very advanced nowadays and it has long been proven that there are no ghosts and gods in the world, they still believe in them, burning incense and kowtowing, and adding incense money. "It's okay, it's okay. Your son is a god, and it's a blessing for us to be able to talk to him." Xia Shouzhong said quickly.

"Get out!" Xiang Nan glared at him.

He knew that Xia Shouzhong was a bad person.

In the original version of Dream of the Red Chamber, he often extorted money from the Jia family, asking for hundreds of taels of silver. The Jia family was afraid of his power and dared not refuse, so Wang Xifeng sold all her dowry.

Xia Shouzhong did not dare to stay and hurriedly ran away with the young eunuchs.

……

"You evil creature, since the emperor has conferred upon you the title of 'King of One Word', why do you have to create trouble?" Jia Zheng said dissatisfiedly.

"Dad, you don't want to receive the order." Xiang Nan looked at Jia Zheng and said, "Since you don't want to receive the order, you must think that it's not grand enough to have only one eunuch to deliver the order, so I require all civil and military officials to come and pay homage. If all civil and military officials come and it's not enough, then I will ask the old emperor to come as well."

"Asshole!" Jia Zheng shouted, "How can you be so arrogant and disrespectful!"

"Then I won't say anything." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Just wait for the civil and military officials to come and pay their respects. Otherwise, let the emperor come in person."

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Jia Zheng shouted repeatedly.

"Stubborn." Xiang Nan shook his head and returned to his room.

"Second Master, you're back~" Xiren, Qingwen and others came forward and said, "Have you had lunch? Do you want me to ask the kitchen to make a few more dishes for you?"

Xiang Nan waved his hand, "No need, I have a method for fasting, I don't need to eat. But have you all eaten yet?"

"We have all eaten..." Xiren laughed hurriedly. At this moment, Sheyue's stomach gurgled.

It turned out that the Jia Mansion was in chaos that day. Not only were the masters at a loss, but even the servants were at a loss as to what to do. As a result, the kitchen was also in chaos today, and they had not eaten for the time being.

"If you didn't eat, then you didn't eat. Why bother hiding it?" Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, then took out the Hufflepuff gold cup, "Whatever you want to eat, just say it to this cup, and I can make it appear."

When everyone heard this, they were quite surprised.

"Really?" Qingwen asked curiously.

"You'll know if you try it." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Then I want a bowl of tender stewed egg custard." Qingwen said immediately.

Then the golden cup flashed, and a bowl of tender stewed egg custard appeared on the table, still steaming hot.

"Wow~" Everyone was amazed when they saw it.

"Xiren, what do you want to eat?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.

"I don't want to eat anything." Xiren waved her hand and smiled.

"I know something you'll definitely like to eat." Xiang Nan said, and then he said to the golden cup, "Sugar-steamed cheese."

In a moment, a bowl of steamed cheese with sugar appeared.
