The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 249 Ask
The emperor also felt a little tired after awarding the meritorious officials. Today he can be regarded as very emotional, but now he only feels that his eyes are starting to shine. If he doesn't rest, he may faint again.

So the emperor suppressed the discomfort, and said to Dai Quan next to him: "Ask them if there is anything else, if there is nothing else, let's leave the court."

Dai Quan walked a few steps to the front of the imperial steps, and shouted to the ministers below: "If there is a book, the court will be played early, if there is no book, the court will be scattered."

Among the ministers in the hall, except for Jia Ke and a few others, the rest of them were scared out of their wits, and they all knelt there silently without thinking about anything else.

Only Jia Ke knelt forward a few steps and said, "My lord, Jia Ke has a book to play."

The emperor sitting on the throne heard that it was Jia Ke, and asked with a calm expression: "Jia Aiqing, if you have anything to do, feel free to play it."

Jia Ke knelt on the ground, cupped her hands upwards and said, "Long live Qi, how many days has the martial law been in the capital? The life of the people is very inconvenient. Do you want to lift the martial law?"

The emperor thought for a while, during this period of time, those rebellious officials had been imprisoned, even if there were one or two fish that slipped through the net, without these main things, there would be no trouble.

So the emperor said to Jia Ke: "Since the life of the people remains unchanged, the martial law will be lifted from today, and all the troops will return to the barracks, and stop harassing the people."

Jia Ke knelt down and cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty."

But Jia Ke did not stand up after finishing speaking, but cupped his hands again and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, the emperor ordered his ministers to protect the residences of the princes and ministers, and I don't know whether to continue to protect them or let the army withdraw to the barracks. "

After hearing Jia Ke's euphemism about his imperial decree a few days ago, the emperor raised his head and looked at the ministers under his face, and then asked, "Don't whitewash me, what happened to the princes these days? Didn't come out?" What's wrong?"

Jia Ke hurriedly replied, "The princes are all studying in the mansion at ease, and no one caused any trouble."

"Don't hide it for them. I heard that the second prince had a commotion at the gate of the mansion. If it wasn't for my order, he would have killed the soldiers?" The emperor asked Jia Ke rudely. He also heard from Dai Quan that his wariness towards the prince has reached an unprecedented height.The emperor thought that the reason why the second prince was so arrogant was because the prince was about to be abolished. The second prince thought that with his status, he would soon become the new prince.

Jia Ke knelt there, and could only say: "Long live Qi, it's not that serious. Maybe the second prince saw soldiers surrounding his mansion, so he came out to take a look."

After hearing Jia Ke's words, the emperor shook his head and said, "Jia Aiqing, you don't have to listen to his cover-up. According to my order, the second prince will study behind closed doors for three months. Without my order, he is not allowed to step out of the house."

Jia Ke didn't want to intercede with the second prince, but the second prince didn't make any serious mistakes now, and he couldn't make a death feud with the second prince because of such a trivial matter.

Afterwards, there were really no ministers to do anything, so the emperor quickly left the court, and returned to the harem with Dai Quan's support.

After the imperial court was over, some people were happy and some were worried. Jia Ke was in a happy mood now. Pan Yong came up to talk to Jia Ke, but Jia Ke left quickly without waiting for him to speak. The reason why Ke ignored him was because the two were both ministers of military aircraft. If they got too close, the emperor might become suspicious. It would be better if the two sides had some conflicts, and the emperor would feel at ease.

But Wang Ziteng saw all this clearly, he took a few steps forward and followed Jia Ke.Jia Ke found Wang Ziteng by his side, and hurriedly greeted him, and then walked out of the palace with Wang Ziteng, chatting as they walked.

"Nephew, you are also Minister of Military Aircraft now, why didn't you chat with Master Pan Yong just now, the two sides get closer to each other, so that we can handle official business in the future." Wang Ziteng was a little puzzled by Jia Ke's attitude.

Jia Ke shook her head and said to Wang Ziteng, "Because I am the Minister of Military Aircraft, I can't get too close to him."

"Nephew, you are too careful. Both of you are the emperor's confidantes. The emperor will be happy if the two of you get closer. There are so many taboos."

Jia Ke didn't agree with Wang Ziteng's opinion, "Uncle, it's wrong. Now we are all military ministers with high positions. If we get too close, what will the emperor think? Don't the emperor be suspicious? I think it's better to be careful."

After talking, everyone came to the gate of the palace. Jia Ke said goodbye to Wang Ziteng and rode back to Rongguo Mansion.

When he returned to Rongguo Mansion, Lin Zhixiao was already waiting at the door. When Jia Ke saw him, he knew that it was Jia Zheng who ordered him again. It seemed that Jia Zheng was very concerned about the changes in the government during this period, and he seemed to be moved. A moving thought.

But in Jia Ke's view, Jia Zheng never had the chance to be promoted again.No matter what the reason was, it was impossible for the emperor to allow both Jia Ke and Jia Zheng to occupy high positions.

"Master, you are back. The old lady and the master have been waiting for you for a long time. Let me watch at the door several times." Lin Zhixiao talked to Jia Ke respectfully, while pulling the rein of the horse, and helped him off the horse.

Jia Ke handed the horse over to him, entered the Rongguo Mansion through the side door, and asked him as he walked, "Where are the old lady and the master waiting for me? Are they in the old lady's yard?"

"Uncle can guess right, it is in the old lady's courtyard." Lin Zhixiao said flatteringly.

"You are becoming more and more slick now. After several years of being the housekeeper, you have returned more and more. Come to my study in a while, and I have something to explain to you." Jia Ke walked forward while talking to him.

"Grandpa, you can go to see the master and the old lady first, and I will go to your study in a while. If you have any orders, just say that you are still worried about my work?"

Jia Ke turned around and took a closer look at him, then jokingly said, "I don't think you look like Lin Zhixiao, why do you seem to be a different person."

Lin Zhixiao said in embarrassment after hearing his words: "Master, don't make fun of me. If I don't learn to be sweeter, how can I hang out with the housekeepers of these aristocratic families in this capital? If I change it, I can't change it." .Who made our family have to act according to other people's face before? I am not humble, why do I still let the masters go and talk to others. "

Hearing what he said, Jia Ke also understood the status of the Jia Mansion in Beijing before. Although he had been promoted to Jiedushi at that time, in the eyes of those elders, a military officer from other places was not taken seriously.

Thinking of this, Jia Ke stopped and said to Lin Zhixiao seriously: "From now on, you don't want to be like this. From now on, only others will curry favor with us, and there is no reason for us to curry favor with others. You must know that the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, you It is also equivalent to an official of the sixth and seventh ranks."

Lin Zhixiao is such a shrewd person, you don't understand what Jia Ke said, it must be the reward given to Jia Ke by the emperor today, and this reward is very important, otherwise Jia Ke would not have said that the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door if.

At this moment, Lin Zhixiao had a solid idea in his heart, and immediately opened his eyes with a smile. Jia's mansion will flourish in the future, and those slaves like them can follow suit.

The two entered Jiamu's compound with a smile and said that. As soon as they entered the compound, they saw Yuanyang, Jiamu's personal maid, standing in the yard waiting.When Jia Ke came back, he hurried over to salute Jia Ke. After the salute, he went to open the door curtain for Jia Ke himself and shouted to the room: "Old lady, the master is back."

Jia Ke entered Jia Mu's main room, and then walked to the living room next to her.I saw that the people who came this time were also very complete, almost everyone from Jia's mansion who could talk came, even Jia Zhu and Jia Lian were waiting on the side.

When Jia Ke entered the room, it was still the old custom, first to salute Jia Mu, then to Jia Zheng and Jia She, and finally to Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing.It took a lot of effort for Jia Ke to perform this round of rituals.However, etiquette cannot be messed up. In ancient times, etiquette was particularly important. It can be said that the country is governed by etiquette, and etiquette is the expression of benevolence and filial piety.

Seeing that Brother Jia had finished saluting, Mother Jia said to the mandarin duck next to her, "Bring a chair for your uncle."

Yuanyang immediately moved a beautiful pier for Jia Ke, and Jia Ke sat down on it without being polite.

When Jia Mu saw that Jia Ke was seated, she couldn't wait to ask: "What did the emperor say today? Did you give you a reward?"

"At the court meeting today, the emperor Long En is mighty, and let my title of Marquis Wuyang be inherited for another three generations."

As soon as Jia Ke finished saying this, Mother Jia and the people present laughed out of joy. In this way, the prosperity of Jia's six generations could be guaranteed, and Jia's mansion would not have any worries for at least a hundred years.

Only Mother Jia is only superficially happy. In fact, she has other thoughts in her heart, but she can only hide these thoughts in her heart, but she silently watches Jia Ke getting closer and closer to that position step by step. Taking a step forward made her happy.

Jia Zheng asked with a smile on his face, "Since the title has lasted for three generations, the emperor is already very powerful. I don't know if your official position has changed. It would be even better if you can be transferred back to Beijing."

"Let my father speak. The emperor has dismissed the official post of Jiedu envoy of Xuanfu Town, and let me take a post in Beijing." Jia Ke also cheated in front of everyone, and now he is like a child who wants to be praised. .

Looking at his appearance, Jia's mother asked him jokingly: "Then what position does the emperor ask you to take up in Beijing? Telling us will make us happy too."

At this time, Jia Ke bowed to the palace first, and then said: "The position assigned to me by the emperor this time is..." When he said this, he looked at the people present, and then continued: "The guard in the collar Minister, Admiral Jiumen, Jiedu Beijing Second Battalion, Minister of Military Aircraft."

Everyone was shocked when they heard his words. They thought that the emperor would give Jia Ke a satisfactory position, but they did not expect that the emperor would treat Jia Ke so favorably. The safety of the emperor, and the nine admirals also control [-] troops to maintain the law and order of the capital.These two positions are usually assigned to two confidantes by the emperor, but now they are handed over to Jia Ke alone, which shows the emperor's trust in him.

Then the second two positions of Jiedu Beijing Second Battalion, there are not many envoys to Beijing Yingying Jiedu, and the military ministers behind them have no idea what their duties are.

At this time, Mrs. Wang's face was a little dark, and she asked Jia Ke in a bad tone: "Since you are going to the capital camp, what is your uncle Wang Ziteng doing?"

"Mother, please don't worry, my uncle is still the governor of the Beijing camp, but the Xishan camp was separated from the three major camps, and the people I brought this time formed the Ruijian camp. I am in charge of the two camps." But the emperor also conferred the title of first-class general to my uncle." Jia Ke didn't feel annoyed at all because of Madam Wang's bad tone towards him.

After listening to Jia Ke's words, Mrs. Wang's complexion improved again. Her elder brother Wang Ziteng is now considered to have a title, and the Wang family has once again entered the circle of powerful people.
