The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 257 Cao Mang
When Jia Ke heard that the emperor had appointed him as the chief minister, he was overjoyed. He originally thought that he was not capable of handling political affairs and could not compete with Pan Yong for this position.Unexpectedly, the emperor unexpectedly appointed him as the chief minister.

Jia Ke quickly knelt down on the ground, and said to the emperor: "My Majesty, Your Majesty appointed me as the foreman. In fact, I am very willing in my heart, but I cannot accept this position."

"Oh, why? Since you are willing, why don't you accept it." The emperor became interested after hearing Jia Ke's words.

"Although I am very willing to accept this position in my heart, I am still very unfamiliar with the handling of government affairs. I am worried that if there is any mistake and the emperor's important affairs are missed, I will not be able to atone for my sin even if I die." Jia Ke righteously I said this sternly, and I don't shy away from telling my own shortcomings. Sometimes this will make others believe in me even more.

After listening to Jia Ke's words, the emperor was silent for a long time, then stood up and walked in front of Jia Ke, helped him up with his own hands, and said to him: "With your words, you are qualified as a military aircraft foreman. It doesn't matter, let others read these notes, and you can summarize them at the end. If you are not satisfied after reading them, just send them back and ask them to rewrite them."

After listening to the emperor's words, Jia Ke felt a little moved. This is not what the emperor said to his courtiers, it was clearly the elder's love for the younger generation.Jia Ke's eyes turned red, and he held back his tears and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, rest assured that I will live up to your majesty's expectations."

The emperor patted Jia Ke on the shoulder and said, "That's right. This is what makes you look like a general on the battlefield. Just now you showed your cowardice."

After comforting Jia Ke, the emperor returned to the seat of honor and asked them, "I heard from you just now that some scriptures are going to be sent to me and let me be the master. What's going on? Tell me carefully."

At this time, Jia Ke began to exercise the power of the foreman, winking at Pan Yong next to him, and asked him to answer, after all, he knew this matter better than himself.

Pan Yong had just recovered from his depression. Seeing Jia Ke's wink at this time, he had no choice but to go forward and report to the emperor: "Long live, it's the Tai students who jointly signed a letter, asking the emperor to pardon the two former university scholars."

"Oh, there is such a thing, bring me the booklet." The emperor didn't seem angry.

Pan Yong quickly took out six or seven memorials from another desk, hugged them and placed them gently in front of the emperor.

The emperor just glanced at it, and Dai Quan, who was standing next to him, immediately went over, picked up the topmost booklet and presented it to the emperor.

Only then did the emperor raise his hand to accept the memorial, and looked carefully, after reading a few pages, he didn't find anything wrong.So he put it aside, Dai Quan was very discerning, and immediately handed over the next memorial to the emperor. The emperor read three or four memorials in a row, but he didn't find anything strange. Although these memorials were all for the two The bachelor begged for mercy, but his tone was very tactful, and there was nothing extreme about it.So the emperor was puzzled. He looked at Jia Ke and Pan Yong and asked them to explain to him.

At this time Pan Yong spoke, "The memorials to His Majesty seem to be nothing, they are all just pleading for the two bachelors. But with so many students presenting the memorial together, if no one of them is in series, it is absolutely impossible."

The emperor's face became serious when he heard Pan Yong's words. What Pan Yong said was very reasonable. There are so many students, if there is no one to join them, it is impossible to be so united, playing together to intercede for the two university scholars.

"Furthermore, among these intercession memorials, only students' joint memorials were read, and none of the officials made it. This is extremely unreasonable. This must be someone who asked the Tai students to take the lead to test your attitude, the emperor, and then they will take the next step. Take action." Pan Yong reported to the emperor the result of his discussion with Jia Ke just now, and even added some embellishments.This was to kill the two academicians. The two pushed Pan Yong away when they were in the study, and now it was finally time for revenge.

At this moment, the emperor's face was full of cloud. It seems that under Pan Yong's suggestion, he also understood the mystery. At the same time, he was very grateful for the fact that he won the two great scholars.

The power and prestige of these two great scholars have reached such a point. If it wasn't for the prince's rebellion this time, the two of them missed Xingzang, and in a few years, I'm afraid I would have to discuss with them even if I issued an imperial decree.

What the emperor didn't expect was that these two people were already in the sky prison, and they could command their disciples to set off such a huge wave. It seemed that their power had spread all over the court and the public.

The emperor had some pity for them at first, thinking about letting them go home after a while, ignoring them for a while, and doing things for him when he was called back to the court.

How dare the emperor let them go out now? If they go out, maybe they will cause huge waves. Maybe when they return home, they will abolish themselves on the grounds of protecting the crown prince Qingjun.There has already been a betrayal, so there is no psychological burden to betray the second time.

In fact, it is completely superfluous for the emperor to think this way. The emperor now controls the military power of the whole world, so how can the governors of various places dare to disobey the emperor's order.

The two grand scholars who don't have a single soldier in their hands, maybe they will yell a few times when they go back, but I'm afraid they don't have the guts to make them rebel.After all, no one is a fool. No one thinks that with two mouths, a piece of paper and a pen, they can win the world.

The emperor didn't care about these, he just felt that he was threatened, since such a threat must be removed no matter how big or small it is.

So the emperor directly said to Dai Quan who was next to him: "Decree, Li Lu and Yan Mu are rebellious and plotting wrongdoing, and they still have ulterior motives in prison. If they have done little work for many years, they don't know the canonical punishment. Let them commit suicide in prison. "The emperor seemed to be still angry after saying this, and then issued an order: "All his family property will be confiscated, the men will be distributed for three thousand miles, and all the women will be sent to Jiaofang as slaves."

It was the first time for Jia Ke to come into contact with this kind of thing, and now she was a little frightened.Unexpectedly, the struggle between the court and the court is so cruel. Those who fail will not only die themselves, but also their family members.Which men are worth it?Even if you go 3000 miles away, as long as you are in good health, you still have a trace of vitality.But after these female relatives are filled into the teaching workshop, I am afraid they will never have the face to live again.All of them are daughters of a thousand pieces of gold, after being insulted like this, how can they still have the face to live in this world.

Jia Ke couldn't help but think of the scene in the dream of the Red Chamber where Jia's mansion was raided, and daughters of officials and eunuchs were sold into Jiaofang.I don't know why there is a breath in my chest.He was afraid that Rongguo Mansion and him would end up like this in the future.

At this time, Jia Ke's heart was churning, and suddenly he thought of Cao Cao, Wang Mang, and even Sima Yi.These people may not have been loyal ministers of the imperial court at the beginning. Cao Cao only wanted to be the general who conquered the west, Wang Mang was also humble and virtuous, and even Sima Yi was the pillar of the Wei State. In the end, they all became rebels.This is what the situation forced us to do.

Jia Ke made up his mind that no matter who wanted his life, he would fight the other party to the death, and would never let the other party slaughter him without a fight. Even if it was the emperor, he would not let the other party succeed.

After the emperor delivered the decree on disposing of the two great scholars, he said to Jia Ke and Pan Yong: "There are still many rebels against the abolished prince. Some people's cases should be concluded as soon as possible, and there should be no delay. Changes will happen later. Who knows these people Will it also be connected in series?"

Jia Ke and Pan Yong knelt down and said yes together, and Pan Yong also assured the emperor that this time, the case of abolishing the crown prince's treason would be dealt with quickly and strictly.

The emperor nodded, and then said: "This time there must be no tolerance. These people are the chief culprits who bewitched the crown prince and let the Tian family kill each other."

The emperor still has one thought in his heart, that is, the prince's nature is good, but these ministers have always thought of Conglong, so they bewitched the prince, otherwise their father and son would still be filial.Therefore, the emperor didn't have any good feelings for these ministers who were attached to the prince, only full of disgust.

After listening to the emperor's words, Pan Yong knew that the emperor was about to set up a prison. Although some of them were old friends of Pan Yong's, the emperor was furious now, and no one could save them.

Jia Ke thought of something else, but now the Liaodong Jiedu Envoy and Xuanfu Town Jiedu Envoy are both vacant. These two places are important defensive areas in central Beijing. If the chief general is not appointed as soon as possible, I am afraid that there will be mistakes in the two places. .If the Tatars invaded again and let the surrounding Shu Kingdom know, then the Celestial Dynasty would really become a laughing stock.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I still have a little worry, so I would like to report it to Your Majesty." After Pan Yong finished speaking, Jia Ke also started to play like the emperor.

"Jia Aiqing, if you need anything, come here." The emperor's attitude towards Jia Ke was still very gentle.

"Your Majesty, the Jiedu envoys of Xuanfu Town and Liaodong Town are both vacant. These two places are the main points leading to the capital. If the chief officers are not appointed quickly, the Tatars may take advantage of the vacancy." Jia said. Ke reported his concerns to the emperor truthfully.

After hearing Jia Ke's report, the emperor also felt that it would be dangerous if there were no generals in these two towns, so he asked Jia Ke casually, "Then who does Ai Qing think can be the generals of these two towns?"

"Long live the report, I have been an official in Xuanfu Town, and I am not familiar with the generals in the world, so I dare not speak nonsense." Although Jia Ke longed for military power, at this time, how could he dare to suggest casually.Besides, if he wants military power, he has a better way, there is no need to support his own power so blatantly.

"Jia Ke, if I tell you what to say, you can just say it. There is no need to have any scruples. Since you only know about Xuanfu Town, then recommend two people from Xuanfu Town. You are just recommending. As for whether I use it or not, it is my business." .” The emperor still insisted on letting Jia Ke recommend it.

Jia Ke thought for a while, and recommended two people to the emperor: "Your Majesty, if you really want to ask me to recommend, I can only recommend Huang Baifeng and Feng Mo. Huang Baifeng is a little older, but An old man is prudent, if he guards Xuanfu Town, it must be foolproof."

"Oh, what about the other guy?"

"Feng Mo is younger, but he is full of drive but never reckless. It is the best choice for the newly opened land of Liaodong to let him serve as the governor of Liaodong. It can not only ensure the stability of Liaodong, but also rely on his aggressiveness. spirit, to suppress the foreign races in Liaodong." Jia Ke is now desperate, and since the emperor wants to ask, he speaks out all at once, after all, among the military generals in Xuanfu Town he knows, only these two people have blocked the side alone, and These two are also his confidantes.
