The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 375
Although Zuodu Censor Tianye was shocked by Jia Ke's cruelty, he thought that these people were simply rats in the imperial granary, eating up all the grain and grass stored by the imperial court.It's almost time for them to do something for the imperial court.

So Tian Ye immediately stood up and said to Jia Ke: "I am optimistic about Mr. Jia's method. This time, no matter what, let the grain storage road be transported to the capital for us."

The old Hanlin Mengming also stood up and said: "I also support this method. The people in the grain storage and Taoism these years have gone too far. They almost regard the grain in the imperial granary as their own. This time it is time to give them a lesson."

And Lei Ying, Minister of the Ministry of War, has no objection to this. If the grain storage roads cannot deliver grain and grass on time, once a civil uprising occurs in Shaanxi and a large army is mobilized to suppress it, it will not be possible to do it with this little grain, grass and money.

Liu Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, finally stated, "I agree with this matter in principle, but after all, it is related to the lives of many people. Let's report to the emperor first, and let His Majesty make the final decision."

Jia Ke didn't have any opinion on this time. If the emperor could stand up and take the blame once, wouldn't it be better for him?No matter how the emperor handles this time, it won't hurt Jia Ke.

If the emperor agreed to this method, he would probably lose the reputation of a confiscated emperor just like Emperor Yongzheng back then.If the emperor disagreed with this method, he would either have to withdraw money from the internal treasury, or he could only ignore the matter, which in the end made the situation worse and worse, and finally could not be dealt with.

No matter which of these two situations is, it will be a huge blow to the emperor's reputation.

After Jia Ke thought of this, she immediately took out a blank document, brushed it up, and wrote a new memorial.

The general idea is that they are afraid of a drought in Shaanxi and even a civil uprising, so they mobilize grain and grass from various grain storage roads to the capital, and are ready for disaster relief at any time in case of accidents.

After Jia Ke finished writing, she said to Liu Yu: "Since Master Liu thinks so, let's sign this document first, and then go to Dongnuan Pavilion to report to the emperor."

Seeing that Jia Ke had agreed with him, Liu Yu didn't order directly without making the decision.Without saying anything, he came to Jia Ke, took the document and signed his name on it.

Then Lei Ying, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, also came to sign his name. So far, the five military ministers have agreed to Jia Ke's method.

Jia Ke saw that they all signed their names, and then said: "That's the decision on the grain storage road. But the household affairs can't be left alone, even if you don't need to buy grain for the time being, but those silver taels must be given to the household department." Make preparations in advance, just in case something happens."

After saying this, Jia Ke took out the document that was just written like a reminder from the Ministry of Household Affairs, "If you agree, please sign it. If you don't agree, I won't force it."

Old Meng Mingzi didn't say anything, so he signed his name when he came over.

Zuodu Censor Tianye thought for a while and signed his name.During this period of time, Tian Ye has obviously become somewhat estranged from the emperor.Doing things in the military aircraft department is also impartial and decisive, and it is not particularly biased towards the emperor, so everyone did not find it strange to sign today.

In the end, Lei Ying, Minister of the Ministry of War, had nothing to say, and came over to sign directly. Although he was a member of the emperor, he knew that if the victims of the disaster were not appeased this time, it would not only be a matter of civil unrest.Even a dynasty may collapse.

Liu Yu saw that several other people signed. If he didn't sign, he might be responsible for something wrong in the future.So he stepped forward and signed his name.

Seeing that everyone had signed their names, Jia Ke summoned the little eunuch outside the door, and then told the little eunuch, "Send this document to the household department immediately, and let them do it immediately. You must get silver within a month." 80 taels."

After the little lady finished monitoring, she quickly picked up the paperwork, bowed and retreated.After coming outside, he quickly sent people to the household department.

Liu Yu saw that the matter of urging the bank from the household department had been completed, and the next step was to store grain. , everyone has signed, the matter of the grain storage road is a major matter, now we should go to Dongnuange to ask the emperor for his opinion."

Jia Ke didn't regret it either, he picked up the document and put it in a bag next to it.Then he said to everyone: "Since everyone has signed, let's go together. If the emperor asks, everyone can express their opinions."

After Jia Ke finished speaking, he walked out of the Military Aircraft Department first, and the other four Military Aircraft Ministers followed closely behind him, and went out of the Military Aircraft Department together.

Jia Ke brought these people to the outside of Dongnuan Pavilion, and met the eunuchs who were on duty especially for Dong Nuan. Jia Ke did not treat these eunuchs rudely because of his high position and authority. Thought.

Jia Ke cupped his hands to the eunuch and said, "My father-in-law, please go in and inform the emperor for the few of us, saying that our Minister of Military Aircraft has something important to report to the emperor, please see him."

Seeing Jia Ke bowing his hand to him, the eunuch quickly returned the salute and said, "Your Majesty Jia, you don't need to be so polite. The slave is just a lowly person, how can I afford such a big gift from you, aren't you letting the slave's life be shortened?"

After finishing being polite, the eunuch said again: "Master Jia and all the lords please wait here for a while, the slave will go in and report to Lord Long Live."

After saying this, the eunuch walked into the East Nuan Pavilion.He poked his head outside the East Nuan Pavilion and looked in. The emperor was sitting on the throne concentrating on reviewing the memorial. The little eunuch didn't have the guts to report it, so he winked at Xia Shouzhong who was next to the emperor.

Xia Shouzhong has been standing beside the emperor, waiting for the emperor's orders at any time.Suddenly the little eunuch outside the door winked at him.

So Xia Shouzhong secretly glanced at the emperor, seeing the emperor staring intently at a memorial, he circled it a few times with a pen.Didn't notice him at all.Only then dared to go down the imperial steps gently, and walked along the wall to Dong Nuan Extraordinary.

"You don't want to watch outside, kid. What's the matter here?" Xia Shouzhong is completely different from before. He has been appointed by the emperor as the eunuch of Liugongdu, so he has also begun to accept his son to work for him.The eunuch in front of him is the godson he watched Ji Ling take in not long ago.

"Godfather, son, I really have something to report to godfather, how dare I disturb godfather indiscriminately."

"Tell me something, didn't you see that I was still serving the emperor inside?"

"I want to report to my godfather, Lord Jia Kejia brought all the adults from the military aircraft department to ask to see the emperor. I don't know what godfather means?"

Hearing what he said, Xia Shouzhong was also a little puzzled.After thinking about it, I decided to report to them.After all, if the five military ministers came together, there might be a big event. If he was delayed, the emperor would not let him off lightly even though he favored him.

"You wait here for a while, let's go in and ask the emperor what he means."

So Xia Shouzhong turned around and entered the East Nuan Pavilion, climbed up the imperial steps again with his own hands, and came to the side of the emperor.

"Long Live Lord, I have something to report to you." Xia Shouzhong said softly beside the emperor.

The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and looked up at him.Asked: "What's the matter? Could it be your relatives who came to fight with you again?"

It turned out that since Xia Shouzhong became the eunuch of Liugongdu, those relatives who had little contact with him before all rushed over to curry favor.I hope he can be promoted and even become an official outside.

Xia Shouzhong never hid these things from the emperor, because he knew that everything he had was bestowed by the emperor.And the emperor is a nostalgic person, as long as he does not hide it from him, the emperor will turn a blind eye to many things.But if once he deceives him or does these things without telling him, the emperor will definitely turn his face and be ruthless.

So Xia Shouzhong treated these things as if he was a family, and explained everything to the emperor in detail.As expected, the emperor turned a blind eye to these things, as Xia Shouzhong thought, and sometimes even dragged Xia Shouzhong to say it again to relieve him when he was bored.

"Long Live Lord, let's see where you're going. How can this slave always bother you with these trivial matters? It was just now that Master Jia Kejia brought a military plane and several adults were begging for an audience outside Dongnuan Pavilion. The little eunuch outside asked the slave I have reported it, so this servant came here and told you, the emperor." Xia Shouzhong hurriedly reported to the emperor what happened just now.

The emperor was worrying about the members of the three major business gangs these days, and now the five military ministers came to ask for an interview, which was not a trivial matter.These things went on one after another, and the emperor felt a very headache now.

The emperor put down the pen in his hand and rubbed his head with both hands.He really didn't want to hear any more bad news now, but reason told him, what kind of bad news might the five military ministers bring this time?Otherwise, the five of them would not come to seek an interview together after putting aside their affairs at the Military Aircraft Department.

The emperor sighed, and finally said helplessly: "Then let them come in. It seems that I will not be able to come down for a moment."

Seeing the emperor's consent, Xia Shouzhong hurried out to meet the five military ministers outside Dongnuan Pavilion.

And the emperor was sitting on the throne, rubbing his head, and thinking about how envious he was when he looked at this throne before he became emperor.

You won't know until you are really on top of this throne, how heavy is the burden on you?Any decision I make can affect the livelihood of [-] Liming people.This made the emperor cautious about every decision, walking on eggshells.

Coupled with the growing power of Jia Ke, since he became the emperor, he has not had a peaceful night's sleep, and almost every day he wakes up from nightmares.

What's the point of being the emperor now?At the beginning, I tried my best to perform in front of the Supreme Emperor and got this position, but now I feel a little boring.
