The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 279
Besides, Jia Ke went back to the military plane after going down to court, and continued to deal with official duties as if nothing happened.The other four people from the Military Aircraft Department are now with Jia Ke and feel a little awkward.

They didn't expect Jia Ke to be so favored. Dozens of officials were imprisoned by the emperor. It may be more or less auspicious. Now that Jia Ke is the leader of the military aircraft and their boss, it may be troublesome to deal with official affairs in the future, but the matter is over. I had no choice but to resign myself to fate. Besides, although Jia Ke was the foreman of the military aircraft, as long as the four of them kept making decisions, Jia Ke could not change them without authorization.

When it was almost noon, a young eunuch suddenly came to the military plane, holding a yellow imperial edict in his hand.

Jia Ke and the others knew at a glance that the emperor might have some advantage to convey, otherwise it would be impossible to deliver the imperial decree just after the end of the imperial court in the morning.

Liu Yu first came to this little eunuch, he also learned yesterday's lesson, and he never dared to show any embarrassment to these eunuchs, seeing him respectfully cupped his hands and asked: "This little eunuch, did you come here with an imperial edict? What is the emperor's business?"

Seeing Liu Yu being so respectful and courteous to him, the little eunuch was flattered for a moment. You must know that these civil servants treated them indifferently in the past, looking at them as if they were looking at pickled things.

The little eunuch also hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Lord Liu, you are too polite. The servant came this time to follow the emperor's order and pass on the decree to Lord Jia."

Hearing this, Liu Yu looked at Jia Ke in surprise. This Jia Ke is really favored by the emperor. If it goes on like this, it will soon become a powerful minister with all the power.

Jia Ke was originally sitting on the innermost seat, when suddenly he heard the little eunuch say that the emperor had delivered an edict to him.Li Ke got up from his seat, came to the side of the little eunuch, cupped his hands and said, "This little eunuch, I'm Jia Ke, I don't know what the emperor's will is."

Seeing Jia Ke approaching, the little eunuch immediately said, "Your Majesty Jia has a decree." After speaking, he raised the imperial decree in his hand above his head.

Jia Ke didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately knelt down on the ground, cupped his hands on his neck and said, "My lord, Jia Ke accepts the order."

Jia Ke knelt down on the ground, and the other ministers of the Military Aircraft Department could only fall behind Jia Ke.

The little eunuch opened the imperial decree and read aloud: "By heaven, the emperor, the edict said: From now on for half a month, Jia Ke will take over the affairs of the court on my behalf. Except for major events, there is no need to report to me. If necessary, he can be killed first and then reported."

After hearing the imperial decree, Jia Ke quickly raised his hands above his head respectfully and said, "My lord, Jia Ke accepts the decree."

The little eunuch gently put the imperial decree in Jia Ke's hands, and then said flatteringly to Jia Ke: "Master Jia, this slave congratulates Master Hou. Master Hou is really irreplaceable in the emperor's heart. I will invite you again when I have a chance." Grandpa takes care of one or two."

Jia Ke was not proud of this. He said with a smile in the imperial decree: "The little eunuch is by the emperor's side, and he is close to the emperor. There is nothing I can compare to. From now on, we will take care of each other."

After the two finished talking, the two laughed to themselves, everything was silent.

After Jia Ke received the order, he felt a little happy. Since yesterday, he has been worrying about whether to coerce the emperor to impress the princes. It was the rare time since he crossed over that he was indecisive. The main reason was that the old emperor treated him really well. That's right, everyone has feelings, and Jia Ke is no exception.

Now that the emperor has more trust in him, he can only lie dormant for a while longer to consolidate his foundation and control more troops. At that time, even if all the civil servants in the world oppose him, it will not help.What's more, he has long been clear about the urination of civil servants.As long as he gains power, literati from all over the world will rush over and gather around him to do things for him.Have you not seen how many civil servants Zhu Yuanzhang killed?After that, more literati came out to become officials, and they were not worried at all about Zhu Yuanzhang's brutality.

The next thing to deal with is the first thing to be dealt with, these vacant official positions. These positions cannot be decided by Jia Ke, and must be decided by the emperor himself.In order not to delay the government affairs, Jia Ke, in the name of the chief minister of the military aircraft, ordered the yamen to replace the detained officials with deputies to temporarily handle the government affairs, so as not to cause turmoil in the court.

The other four military planes can no longer hold their heads up in front of Jia Ke. They are now only cooperating with Jia Ke in handling official affairs, and have lost the decision-making power in the military plane department.The status has dropped a lot from the previous few days.

In the afternoon, the shock in the court hall spread throughout the capital. People were dumbfounded by this incident. Unexpectedly, only one Jia Ke sent dozens of officials to the prison. The court is as stable as Mount Tai, and the emperor has a lot of trust in him.So before nightfall, the gates of Rongguo Mansion and Wuyanghou Mansion were already filled with officials who came to give gifts. Everyone can see the situation clearly now. At least when the emperor is still in power, Jia Ke is destined to be there for a long time. Presided over the government.Then why don't they hurry up and maintain a good relationship with Jia Ke, otherwise Jia Ke will be in charge of the court, and there will be no chance for them to get promoted and make a fortune.

Qin Keqing heard a report from a servant in the Wuyanghou Mansion, saying that the gate had been surrounded by gift-giving officials. Qin Keqing was no stranger to this. Since she married into the Wuyang Hou Mansion, there have been an endless stream of gift-giving people every day, but today it seems that There are too many.

Qin Keqing never intervened in this kind of matter. By the way, she sent a message to the family to tell people outside that Jia Ke was not at home, and if there was something to do, they would come back later.

On the Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang's approach is completely different from Qin Keqing's. As long as someone comes to give a gift, she will accept it with peace of mind, regardless of what the giver is asking for.

Moreover, the things she collected did not go into Rongguo Mansion's warehouse, but into her own private treasury.

In the afternoon, when Jia Zheng came back from the yamen, he went directly to the outer study and sent a servant to the Wuyang Hou Mansion to tell Jia Ke to meet him in the outer study immediately after he came back.

Jia Ke finished her day's business in the afternoon, and then left the military aircraft office and returned to the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion. Just as she was about to sit down and have a cup of tea, she heard that Jia Zheng was ordered to meet him in the study outside the Rongguo mansion immediately after he came back. he.

Jia Ke immediately understood what Jia Zheng meant. It seemed that Jia Zheng was a little worried about what happened in the court today, so he asked him to find out.

When Jia Ke came to Jia Zhengwai's study in the Rongguo Mansion, there was already a servant waiting at the door. When he saw Jia Ke coming, he reported the news inside, and at the same time raised the curtain for him to invite him in.

Jia Ke came into the room and saw Jia Zheng sitting in front of him, Jia Ke quickly stepped forward to salute him, when Jia Zheng saw him, he yelled angrily: "Damn beast, you won't kneel down for me."

Although Jia Ke didn't know why Jia Zheng was going crazy, in feudal society, you were the first rank in the imperial court, and you didn't dare to resist when your father asked you to kneel down at home.

Then Jia Ke knelt on the ground again, bowed his hands to Jia Zheng and said, "I don't know what the son did wrong to make father so angry."

"The good deeds you did in the court today put dozens of ministers into prison in one fell swoop. You also let our Jia family live in Beijing or not." Jia Zheng was ostracized by his colleagues in the yamen this afternoon. He sneered for a while, but this time he came back to vent his anger on Jia Ke.

Jia Ke couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Jia Zheng's words, so he had to explain to him: "Where did father hear this rumor? Even if my son has great abilities, he doesn't have the ability to put dozens of ministers in prison."

Although Jia Zheng was still very annoyed, he felt very reasonable after listening to Jia Ke's words. At that time, the emperor was still in court, so how could Jia Ke have the power to put dozens of ministers into the prison.So he asked angrily, "What's going on? Now it's rumored in the official circles that you have dominated the government and controlled the government, and sent dozens of ministers who disagreed with you to prison."

Jia Ke, when you hear this, you will know that it was done by Wen Chen. Except for them, no one has ever been so shameless.But he had to explain to Jia Zheng: "These ministers have no eyes on the emperor, and they forced the emperor to install a prince in the court. The emperor was furious because of this, and immediately put these people in the sky prison, waiting to be punished."

In fact, things are much more complicated than what Jia Ke said, but Jia Ke doesn't need to explain so much to Jia Zheng, just tell him the general things.

After Jia Zheng heard Jia Ke's words, his complexion changed a little. You must know that the establishment of a crown prince has always been a top priority in the court.It is still a small thing that these ministers disobeyed the emperor and were imprisoned in heaven. In the future, these people's official careers may be cut off.

"Then why do people say it's because of you?" Jia Zheng was still puzzled.

At this time, Jia Ke didn't know how to explain to him. Could it be that these ministers thought he was a powerful minister?So he said to Jia Zheng later: "This involves the struggle between the civil and military factions. Our family has always been a noble person, but now I am in charge of the government. Which civil servants are naturally unwilling? That's why there is a fight, and it's nothing Father doesn't have to worry about important matters. As long as the emperor favors our family, these people are nothing but clowns."

Only then did Jia Zheng let go of his heart, but he still asked worriedly, "Is there really nothing serious?"

"It's really nothing serious. Today the emperor gave me full power to handle the affairs of the court. Look at the gift givers at our door. If something really happened to our family, these people outside would have gone somewhere long ago. "Jia Ke's concern about Jia Zheng is actually understandable, after all, he is only a fifth-rank official and is not qualified to participate in major events in the court.

After Jia Zheng listened to Jia Ke's consolation, he was completely at ease. He also knew the warmth and coldness of human relationships.When he returned to the mansion just now, so many officials came to give gifts in front of the door.If Jia Ke was going to fall, these people would have been hiding long ago. It seems that Jia Ke is not only fine, but even more dazzling than before.

Thinking of his flustered appearance just now, Jia Zheng felt a little red on his face, so he pretended to cough and said solemnly, "Although the emperor favors you, you must work hard to do your job, and don't disappoint the emperor's trust."

"My son understands that the emperor has shown great kindness to our family, and my son will definitely repay the emperor's kindness with death." Jia Ke said firmly, not knowing how much of what he said was true or false.

After hearing Jia Ke's words, Jia Zheng was satisfied and let him go out.
