Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 294
"This is a good thing and can be done, but we have to discuss how to do it specifically." The Supreme Emperor closed his eyes and said while thinking.

The emperor and Jia Rui looked at each other, then stood below and continued to wait for the emperor's instructions.

"Jia Rui said he wanted to try it out in one place first. What place do you think it should be?"

A smile appeared on Jia Rui's lips. He had been running around these days just for these words.

Jia Rui hurriedly took a step forward, then attacked the living person and replied: "Reporting to the Supreme Emperor, Wei Chen believes that it should be tried in Hainan first."

The Supreme Emperor was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing with Jia Rui.

"Tell me why!"

"Back to the Supreme Emperor, Hainan is isolated on the sea. The indigenous people above it cannot communicate with the outside world. If there is any turmoil during the implementation process, it will not spread to the inland. This way, the court can also handle the funeral affairs. "

The Supreme Emperor stood up and walked a few steps on the ground, slowly becoming excited.

"Okay, this is Lao Cheng seeking the country."

It was rare for the Emperor to be so excited.

After he sat back down, he said, "Let Hainan Dao be specifically responsible for this matter. Do you have any other opinions?"

The emperor thought for a moment, then came out and said: "Although Hainan hangs alone on the sea, our military strength in Hainan is relatively weak. We should strengthen our troops in advance to suppress those who are dissatisfied."

The Emperor nodded and looked at the Emperor with relief, then asked Jia Rui: "Do you have any other ideas?"

Jia Rui quickly said respectfully: "Hainan hangs alone on the sea and has always been a subsidiary of Guangdong. However, Guangdong's control over Hainan is relatively weak. Wei Chen thinks that we should simply upgrade Hainan to a province, and then set up a governor to let him Take full responsibility for this matter.”

The Supreme Emperor knocked on the table and looked at Jia Rui and the emperor standing below, with relief on his face.

If the emperor and Jia Rui really cooperated sincerely, they would really be a perfect match.

From this incident, it can be seen that with just a slight alliance, the two people clearly arranged a difficult matter that was beneficial to the country and the people.

If these two people continue to cooperate like this, then the emperor cannot even imagine how prosperous his country and empire will develop.

But for now, the relationship between the emperor and Jia Rui has begun to ease. Judging from today's performance, the emperor should not pursue them anymore.

After all, the emperor also saw the value of Jia Rui in this matter.

"Okay, I agree, let's talk about the candidates."

Jia Rui and the emperor looked at each other, their eyes showing vigilance.

Finally, Jia Rui took a step back and retreated behind the emperor, which meant that he asked the emperor to recommend it first, which was also regarded as goodwill to the emperor.

There was a smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, thinking that even Jia Rui knew about superiority and inferiority.

So the emperor took a step forward and said to the Supreme Emperor: "My son thinks Liu He, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, is suitable."

After hearing the name, the Supreme Emperor thought for a moment. He didn't seem to have this person in his mind, so he turned his head and looked at Zhao Jin who was standing aside.

Zhao Jin hurriedly said to the side: "Liu He, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, was a Jinshi of Enke when the emperor first ascended the throne. He was 43 years old. He was from a noble family in the south of the Yangtze River. He first studied in the Ministry of Personnel and later became a doctor in the Ministry of Rites."

The Supreme Emperor shook his head, and then said: "This man is not good. Although he was born as a Jinshi, he has never been to work in Beijing. If he goes somewhere, he may do something bad."

The Supreme Emperor was a little disappointed with the emperor. Now the emperor only focused on his own one-third of an acre of land. He didn't care whether the people sent out were suitable or not. He still wanted to fight for power in his heart.

So the Supreme Emperor looked at Jia Rui: "You can also recommend someone to choose!"

Jia Rui blinked his eyes, and then said: "There is a saying: Don't avoid relatives in internal promotions, and don't avoid suspicion in external promotions. The one I recommended was not someone else, but Wei Chen's uncle, who is now studying Jia Zheng in Hainan."

Upon hearing this name, the emperor originally wanted to argue, but now he shut up.

Jia Zheng is Jia Yuanchun's father, and can be regarded as his father-in-law. It can be said that it is very fair for Jia Rui to recommend this person.

The Supreme Emperor shook his head gently and said, "I know that Jia Zheng is a very pedantic person and doesn't know how to adapt to things."

Jia Rui smiled slightly, and then said: "Your Majesty, this time in Hainan, we want to have such upright and pedantic people. Only such people can do things in a strict and fair manner. If we let a smooth person When people go there, they will definitely favor one over the other.”

"But if he pushes forward so forcefully, he might cause trouble."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, in fact, it is not a bad thing to cause a little trouble. This way, through the suppression of the imperial army, other tribes can see the two different consequences of obeying the imperial court and resisting the imperial court."

The emperor standing aside listened to Jia Rui's words, his eyes flashed, and he nodded gently.

There was a smile on the face of the Supreme Emperor now. He looked at Jia Rui with relief. He was indeed right about this confidant.

"Jia Rui, you have made progress during this time." "This is all due to the teachings of the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty. The slight progress of the minister is also the credit of the two Supreme Beings."

The Supreme Emperor smiled and touched his beard, and then said: "In this case, let Jia Zheng be the governor of Hainan."

"Remove a general from the Beijing camp, lead three thousand elites to Hainan, and serve as the admiral of Hainan. He will command the military in Hainan and be prepared for any eventuality."

After the Emperor finished speaking, he asked Jia Rui: "You are the governor of the Beijing camp. Who do you think is suitable for this important task?"

Jia Rui pretended to think for a moment, and then smiled openly, "What a coincidence. There is a young general in the Beijing camp who can take up this position."

The Supreme Emperor touched his beard and smiled and replied: "The young general you are talking about is not you, right? If so, you can rest your mind. There are so many things for you to do in Beijing, how can you find the time to go to Hainan?"

"Weichen doesn't dare to describe himself as a general. He is a junior general under Weichen. He was originally from Qianhu, Gansu. Later, when I saw his bravery, I transferred him to the capital. After this period of experience, he is now able to stand alone. .”

The Emperor was a little interested after hearing this. Being called brave by Jia Rui shows that this person has extraordinary abilities.

"Then bring him to see him in a few days. If he is suitable, let him go." The Supreme Emperor still trusted Jia Rui very much and regarded the people he recommended as his No. 1 choice every time.

The emperor watched the interaction between the Supreme Emperor and Jia Rui, feeling a little jealous.

He felt like he was standing nearby, like an outsider watching a father and son talking.

The Supreme Emperor then said: "Jia Rui, go to the cabinet and ask the minister to make a memorial and write this matter down clearly. After I approve it, it will be revealed to the world."

"The minister obeys the order."

Then the Supreme Emperor waved his hands tiredly, and the two people immediately conferred and bowed out.

After arriving outside Longshou Palace, Jia Rui carefully followed the emperor. The emperor stood there for a while, then turned around and said with a smile:

"Jia Aiqing is really talented and knowledgeable. This person learned his lesson today. From now on, we, the emperor and the ministers, will check each other's omissions."

When Jia Rui heard what the emperor said, the smile on his face became even brighter. He replied respectfully: "How can I have any talents? I am all under the command of the Supreme Emperor, so that I can have a little chance to develop. From now on, I will follow the emperor's lead. It’s a shame for the emperor.”

The emperor smiled happily, patted Jia Rui on the shoulder, then got into the chariot and left with the people.

Jia Rui bowed his body and waited until the emperor's chariot disappeared, then straightened up.

At this time, Jia Rui still had a happy smile on his face, as if he was very satisfied with his cooperation with the emperor this time.

After that, Jia Rui slowly went to that place.

The scene just now was quickly written into a note and sent to the Supreme Emperor.

The Emperor was very happy about this. How gratifying it was that his beloved son and his favorite ministers could live in harmony with each other!

It seems that the way I helped the emperor and Jia Rui understand each other and ease the relationship is half done. If this continues, the emperor may also regard Jia Rui as a confidant, and by then he will feel relieved when he leaves.

After thinking of this, the Supreme Emperor closed his eyes tiredly, but there was still a smile on his lips.

Besides, after Jia Rui returned to the cabinet, he immediately asked Zhu Biao to write a memorial according to his own wishes, and then he wrote his name himself, and then asked several other ministers to sign it.

After these ministers saw the contents of the memorial, they were a little confused. Why did they start to mess up again?
Seeing everyone's expressions, Jia Rui smiled softly, and then said: "The Emperor also agreed to this matter, and the Supreme Emperor personally arranged the manpower, so we just need to go through the process."

After listening to Jia Rui's words, several ministers looked at each other with a hint of helplessness.

As cabinet ministers, they didn't know about such a big matter, which made several people feel frustrated.

Although they were a little unhappy in their hearts, they still managed to save face, so everyone reluctantly signed their names on the memorial.

Jia Rui took the memorial, dried the ink on it, placed the memorial on top of today's corrections, and then asked a young eunuch to carry it to the Yangxin Hall.

This time it was really just a formality. Soon the emperor individually marked the memorial, signed his name, and then sent it to Longshou Palace. The same thing happened to Longshou Palace. He wrote "I understand" and sent it back. cabinet.

After that, Jia Rui sent another document to the Ministry of Personnel. Shen Wence, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was Jia Rui's confidant, and he carried out Jia Rui's orders unconditionally.

Therefore, on the same day, the officials wrote the memorial for Jia Zheng to be promoted to governor of Hainan and sent it back.

Jia Rui agreed without saying a word and then sent it to the Dragon Head Palace in person.

The Supreme Emperor didn't even read the contents of the memorial and directly approved it.

Just like that, by the time he went to the office in the evening, the process of Jia Zheng's promotion to the governor of Hainan had been completed at lightning speed.
