The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 192
The information Dai Quan said was not very comprehensive. After all, within the scope of the Tatars' efforts, their intelligence personnel were very scarce.And the level is not high, at most you can get these, public information.

But the emperor was already very satisfied with these, and the emperor didn't ask for such secret information.

After the emperor learned about Arslen Khan's two relocations from Dai Quan, he was even more convinced that Jia Ke's memorial was true. The emperor was still very satisfied with this counterattack against the Tatars.

Jia Ke led the army not only to attack Arslen Khan twice, but also took back the most precious treasure such as the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. This time, he must reward him well. Last time I promised him that he would not be stingy with the reward, this time I am afraid If you really assign him a Marquis.

However, the emperor felt that the Marquis was worth it. Jia Ke not only gave the Tatars a blow, but also took back the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.More importantly, the fact that Jia Ke sent back the Chuanguo Yuxi fully demonstrated Jia Ke's loyalty to himself.If other aristocratic families obtained such a treasure, they would definitely hide it secretly for the future.

After all, from ancient times to the present, there are only aristocratic families with a thousand years, and never heard of a dynasty with a thousand years.These aristocratic families can sell everything for their own family interests, if they get the national jade seal.Then when the next dynasty changes, this is their best chance to advance.

"Decree, to hold a grand court in the Hall of Supreme Harmony tomorrow, all officials above the third grade in Beijing must come." The emperor suddenly ordered Dai Quan.

Dai Quan didn't dare to be negligent and said immediately: "This slave will send someone to pass the decree, and tomorrow the grand court will be held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

The emperor nodded, and then added: "What official is Jia Ke's father now?"

Dai Quan hurried forward and replied, "Long Live Lord Jia Ke's father is Yuanwailang of the fifth grade."

"Then you go and pass the decree to let Jia Ke's father make an exception to attend the court tomorrow."

Dai Quan knew that Jia Ke was about to get rich, so he hurriedly replied, "This servant will go to Rongguo Mansion in person to deliver the decree to Jia Zheng."

The emperor was speechless when he heard his reply, and continued to hold Jia Ke's memorial, reading it carefully, as if he could never get enough of it.

When Dai Quan saw that the emperor had no arrangements, he quietly withdrew.When he came outside the hall, he gave some instructions to the little eunuchs, and the little eunuchs ran out immediately.In no time, more than a dozen eunuchs left the Hall of Mental Cultivation and went to various yamen.

And Dai Quan himself sat in a big sedan chair, held an umbrella and blew the gong, and came to Rongguo Mansion in a mighty manner. This kind of spectacle directly alarmed Jia Zheng, the head of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Zheng has always been outside the upper echelons of power, and he doesn't have a deep understanding of the situation in the DPRK and China.Suddenly hearing that Dai Quan came to Rongguo Mansion to pass the decree, my heart jumped in panic. Last time Jia Ke was ennobled, the emperor just sent a random eunuch. What is the big deal this time?To be able to work this big frame of the interior minister.

Although Jia Zheng was suspicious, he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly opened the middle door to welcome Dai Quan into the Rongxi Hall.

After entering the Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng gave up Dai Quan, but Dai Quan didn't refuse, and just sat in the top seat.Jia Zheng sat next to him.

After the two sat down, Jia Zheng asked cautiously: "I don't know what's inside, what do you want to explain when you come to our house this time?"

Dai Quan smiled all over his face and said politely: "What's the inside look? Our family is just doing some chores for the emperor. We are nothing more than a slave. How can we use such an honorific title? Besides, I and your elders The Duke still has some friendship, and he can be regarded as a family friend. There is no need to say such polite words in the future." Then the conversation changed and he said: "This time I came to congratulate Mr. Jia."

Jia Zheng was shocked when he heard his words, and then asked respectfully: "The inner minister said congratulations, but I don't know where this happy event comes from?"

Dai Quan didn't talk to him about other things, but said mysteriously: "Tomorrow, the emperor will be in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and all officials above the third rank in the capital will participate, but the emperor specially ordered Mr. Jia to also participate tomorrow. This is a happy event. Your Excellency will know tomorrow."

"Internal Prime Minister, please tell me a few words clearly, so that I can be prepared, otherwise it will be bad if I make a fool of myself in the court tomorrow." Jia Zheng stood up and bowed to the ground, his face full of pleading color.

"Master Jia doesn't have to be like this. I can only tell Master Jia about this matter. It is indeed a happy event. Just keep your heart in your stomach, and I am a slave, so I dare not speak nonsense." Dai Quan got up and helped Jia Zheng up, and for the sake of Jia Ke's imminent prosperity, he said a few words of comfort to Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng knew that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he asked Dai Quan to stay for the banquet, "Eunuch, please stay a little longer, I'll set up a banquet right now, Eunuch has a glass of wine with us before leaving, so as to warm up."

How could Dai Quan have time to drink with him now, the emperor ordered to deliver the decree to all the officials above the third rank, although he had arranged people, but he had to go back to the town in person, if something went wrong, the emperor would not spare him.

So Dai Quan gave way in every possible way, saying that he still had important matters in the palace and could not stay for long.Jia Zheng really couldn't keep him.He had no choice but to personally send Dai Quan out of the Rongguo Mansion, and then returned to the mansion in doubt.

After Jia Zheng returned to the mansion, he immediately went to the back house to report to Jia Mu.Jia's mother was very calm about this matter. She said to Jia Zheng: "Since the emperor ordered officials of the third rank and above to participate in the court tomorrow, you are only a fifth rank. It is an exception for the emperor to let you participate. How dare you There is no merit, it must be our eldest brother who has made great contributions this time, and the emperor wants to reward you generously, and let you go to thank him on behalf of eldest brother. You don't have to worry, just go tomorrow."

After Jia Zheng received Jia's mother's order, he calmed down and felt that he had a backbone.And I started to feel excited in my heart, only waiting for the emperor to receive the emperor's reward the next day.

The next day, at the beginning of Sishi (about 9 o'clock in the morning), all the courtiers came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Today, everyone is very puzzled that the grand court is held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony without festivals, which has never happened before.Something must have happened that they didn't know about.So everyone asked each other, but in the end no one could give an answer.Everyone could only come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with their heads sullen.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony is the place where grand ceremonies are held, such as the emperor's enthronement, the announcement of the edict of enthronement, the emperor's big wedding, the appointment of a queen, and the order to go to war. Every year, New Year's Day, Winter Solstice, Longevity (the emperor's birthday) and other festivals are congratulated by officials here. And give a banquet.I have never heard of a grand dynasty being held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Therefore, all the officials were very puzzled when they heard that the Great Court was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.When all the civil and military personnel came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they stood up according to their civil and military ranks. At this time, one person stood out, and this was Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng is only a fifth-rank Yuanwailang, and he is not qualified to participate in this grand dynasty, but he is standing here now.Although he knew it was against the rules, no one came forward to ask.Because everyone knows that Jia Zheng must have the emperor's consent to stand here. Without the emperor's consent, Jia Zheng might not even be able to enter the Meridian Gate.

The emperor didn't make the crowd wait too long. After all the civil and military personnel arrived, the emperor entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony.The only difference this time was that the emperor held a wooden box wrapped in yellow paragraphs in his hand.

After the emperor entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he sat directly on the golden throne, and gently placed the wooden box in his hand on the imperial case.

All the courtiers of His Highness knelt down and shouted long live three times, please kneel three times and prostrate nine times. This set of etiquette is very complicated, but it is still abbreviated, such as many rituals such as "singing the whip" and "scheduling the shift".In this way, there are still many old ministers with tired waists and backs.

All the palace ministers had closed their salutes, and they stood on both sides waiting for the emperor's speech.

At this time, the emperor held the yellow cloth package and said to the ministers: "Everyone must be very surprised today. Why did I hold a grand ceremony in the Hall of Supreme Harmony? The Hall of Supreme Harmony can't be opened several times a year. I will hold a grand ceremony here this time." In the court meeting, I have a piece of good news to tell everyone. The lost jade seal of the previous dynasty has been found." After speaking, the emperor opened the yellow cloth bag in his hand, and took out a treasure seal from a simple wooden box .

All the princes and ministers were stunned when they heard the news. The news was really shocking.Then many ministers reflected, one by one showing fanatical expressions, since the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom has been found, doesn't that mean that this dynasty is determined by destiny?
You must know that the Jade Seal of the Chuanguo has always been a symbol of imperial power, if a dynasty does not have the Jade Seal of the Chuanguo.It will be regarded as a whiteboard dynasty, with a wrong name and wrong words.And since the previous dynasty was invaded by the prairie people, there has been no trace of the Chuanguo Yuxi for decades.

Therefore, Emperor Taizu, in order to show the legitimacy of his dynasty, engraved 25 square seals in one go, in order to make up for the regret of not passing on the national jade seal.This time, I heard from the emperor that the Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom has been recovered, how can I not surprise them?How can they not be excited?
The emperor looked at the shock and enthusiasm of the ministers below from the throne, and he couldn't help but feel comfortable all the time. Now he has a deep understanding of the appeal of Chuanguo Yuxi.

At this time, Pan Yong, a scholar of the cabinet, was the first to leave the class, knelt down on the ground, and said to the audience: "My emperor is as prosperous as the sky, and the sky can send down such a treasure. I am here to congratulate the emperor on behalf of the people of the world for finding the treasure. solid, passed on from generation to generation.”

The courtiers did not react until they heard his words, so they knelt down together and congratulated the emperor loudly: "My emperor is blessed and blessed, long live long live long live long live."

The emperor was tired of hearing these words on the throne, but now he didn't feel a burst of joy.

But he didn't, showing a happy smile at this time.Instead, he said very reservedly: "All loves, let's live in peace."

All the ministers heard the emperor's will, and then returned to their respective positions to stand.

The emperor then said to the people below: "Although it is said that the jade seal has been recovered, it is not known whether it is true or not. Therefore, all the ministers are invited to come and observe one or two to determine the authenticity."

After the emperor said this, he looked down, and finally found that it fell on the three great scholars, and said: "The three great scholars are all well-educated and knowledgeable, so you can come and have a look at this jade seal." Is it true or not?"

After hearing the emperor's words, the three academicians came to the imperial case one by one and looked carefully at the Fang Yuxi.These three are truly well-educated Confucians. They just thought about it, and there were countless descriptions of the characteristics of Chuanguo Yuxi in their minds, combined with their research on gold and stone antiques.At this time, I have already decided in my heart that this is the legendary Jade Seal of Chuanguo.
