Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 189: Meeting the Supreme Emperor and turning danger into good fortune (2.5)

"Ahem, tell the old lady, it really wasn't me. I've never done such a thing, pfft."

Mrs. Wang finished this sentence with difficulty.

He spat out blood again and fainted to the ground.

This frightened all the servants, and they hurriedly called the imperial doctor. After Lai Da finished explaining, he hurried back to report to Jia Mu.

When Mother Jia heard that Mrs. Wang was so angry that she vomited blood, she shook her head and sighed.

"She said she didn't do it. She didn't do it. Do you need to be so angry?"

"I don't mean to blame him, it's just that she is too imprudent in what she does. If she wants to attack someone, she has to take it out first. She can just order someone to do it herself."

"Alas, I have been in charge of the entire Rongguo Mansion all these years, and I don't care about others anymore."

"Go and talk to the other side, let the imperial doctor take care of her first, and then make her come to me."

Seeing his delicate features and extraordinary prowess, I actually felt a good impression in my heart.

"Raise your head and let me see."

"It seems that I need to explain some things clearly to him. Otherwise, if he does it so casually, it will not have a good impact on the Jia family."

Therefore, the Supreme Emperor laughed directly.

It's just that after he saluted, he kept standing beside him with his head down, without looking up.

But when he thought of what this boy had done, the Supreme Emperor became a little angry.

Although this kind of thing that left a name for eternity was given directly to the current emperor, which made him a little unhappy, but after all, the Great Zhou Empire would benefit.

At this time, if he punishes a meritorious official for such a trivial matter, it will not be good for his reputation if word spreads about it.

The Supreme Emperor was also looking at Jia Qi at this time.

Obviously, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be no problem in living for another three to five years.

Jia Qi finally met the Supreme Emperor.

From the time this kid was born to now, even though he has become the Viscount of the Empire, he has always adhered to one principle, and that is to listen to advice.

"Besides, I have only listened to my mother since I was a child. Oh, it should be my aunt who said that if one day I have the ability, I must be loyal to His Majesty and help the people. I did this exactly according to the instructions of my aunt. "

Basically, as long as there is a reasonable reason to persuade him, he will agree.

"So why don't I come and tell you now? Anyway, I have handed over the things. If you feel that I handed it over wrongly, then you can punish me."

If anyone else had said this, the Supreme Emperor would definitely not believe it.

"You also know that I am just a bastard who was separated from the Jia family. It is an accident that I can meet His Majesty the Emperor, let alone meet you."

After knowing that this boy offered auspiciousness, he investigated carefully.

"If I go back to the Supreme Emperor, it's not that I don't want to give it to you first, but I don't have the chance to see you either."

Anyway, he could turn danger into good luck, so he didn't have anything to worry about and said directly.

But what this boy said was very credible to the Emperor.

As the saying goes, he who doesn't know is not guilty. If someone doesn't know anything, it's considered good if he can give things to the emperor first.

Although he is old, he is still full of energy.

"But I only rewarded you with one viscount for your merits. I really feel wronged to you."

When Jia Qina raised his head to show the Emperor, he also saw the Emperor's appearance.

"His Majesty the Emperor has given you a reward. As the Supreme Emperor, I can't justify not giving you a reward. Well, I think you should stop being too clinical and why not officially enter the officialdom. I will first arrange a position for you in the Ministry of Etiquette. There happens to be a vacancy at Honglu Temple, so you might as well go there, there isn't much to do on weekdays, and it's easier."

In the palace at this time.

"You're right. Normally, it's not easy for you branches to come and see me."

"If the chief steward of Rongguo Mansion hadn't come to tell me today that the Jia family belongs to the Supreme Emperor, I wouldn't have known about it."

Jia Qi did not expect that the Supreme Emperor would speak so directly.

After moving out, I was deceived by a group of people. How could I know that there were auspicious things to dedicate to myself, to dedicate to His Majesty, and to know that it would be good to help the people.

Now that he knows it, he can still come and explain to himself, which is enough to prove his sincerity.

The Supreme Emperor really didn't expect this boy to answer like this.

"You said you came to report to me, then I ask you, why are you not dedicating such auspiciousness directly to me, but to the current emperor."

Fortunately, at this time the Supreme Emperor spoke.

Thinking of this, the Supreme Emperor felt a lot more balanced.

"You contributed 6000 kilograms of grain per mu to the Zhou Empire. It can be said that you have made a great contribution."

Now listening to what this kid said, I am even more convinced that this person knows absolutely nothing.

So if he didn't say anything, he wouldn't be prepared.

"If you didn't come by yourself, I would have asked someone to let you come first."

And for the past ten years or so, he had stayed in the backyard with her aunt, knowing nothing.

Jia Qi did not expect that the first person to be granted an official title would be not His Majesty the Emperor, but the Supreme Emperor.

He has not forgotten his mission. If he refuses to serve as an official three times, he can permanently obtain the low-grade, acquired body and the ability to judge whether it is a monastic item.

Since this opportunity was presented to him, he naturally wanted to seize it.

Therefore, Jia Qi said directly.

"Thank you very much for your kindness. However, I have already promised His Majesty the Emperor that I will work hard on the cultivation of sweet potatoes in Huangzhuang. When I finish planting the sweet potatoes, if the Emperor still wants to arrange a position for me, then I will Absolutely no rejection.”

As soon as I finished speaking, good news came from the system. One of the three rejections had been completed.

The Supreme Emperor was stunned for a moment and said.

"I heard that you, kid, don't listen to advice? I arranged a position in the Etiquette Department for you, which can be regarded as advice. Why don't you listen?"

Jia Qi was speechless.

You are purely kind-hearted and have no ill intentions. Why should I listen?
Besides, if you refuse, you can still complete 1/3 of the task, so you can’t give up this good opportunity.

Of course, he couldn't say that, so he could only find an excuse.

"Back to the Supreme Emperor, I know some medical skills now, but not anything else. When I went to Honglu Temple, I didn't know what to do. Besides, I have promised Your Majesty that I will study the cultivation of sweet potatoes, so I can't give up halfway. , please forgive me."

The Emperor thought he understood.

This guy really listens to advice.

It was my own persuasion, but it was a bit late.

The emperor had already persuaded him to study the cultivation of sweet potatoes before, so I arranged other positions for him during the period of planting sweet potatoes, fearing that he would not agree.

However, the Supreme Emperor still wanted to give it a try, so he said with a smile.

"What you said makes some sense, but since you want to study the cultivation of sweet potatoes, I will make you an agricultural officer, which is more legitimate. What do you think?"

Jia Qi didn't expect the second chance to come so soon, so he quickly continued.

"Go back to the Supreme Emperor, you'd better not let me be an official. I really don't know how to be an official. Besides, I have already found a direction by studying the cultivation of sweet potatoes. I am currently studying outside the city. To be an official, I have to order some sweet potatoes every day. Mao, I don’t have time to study it, so please forgive me, Your Majesty, I will not be an official for now.”

At this time, the Supreme Emperor was finally sure that this kid was a stickler.

He really listens to advice, but he won't be able to listen to new persuasion before other people's persuasion is completed.

In this case, let him study it slowly.

But no matter what I say, His Majesty the Emperor has given him the title of Supreme Emperor. As the Supreme Emperor, wouldn't it be very shameful if he didn't give him a reward?
And although this person is not loyal to himself, he is loyal to the Zhou Empire.

Those who are loyal to the empire are good ministers.

So the Supreme Emperor thought about it and said immediately.

"What you said makes sense. If you don't want to be an official, then you shouldn't be. But even if you come here, I can't not give you any rewards. You have a title, but you don't want to be an official. You can tell yourself what you want. No matter what kind of reward you want, as long as it’s not too difficult, I’ll agree to it.”

When Jia Qi heard what the Supreme Emperor had said, he immediately thought of what happened today.

Nowadays, although Zhijiang has established two forces, the Beggar Gang and the Artisan Alliance.

However, the current development direction of these two forces is mainly to make money.

Even if there is a department for snooping, they are all at the bottom.

After all, most of them are ordinary people and their status is too low.

It is impossible to get some useful information.

Unless you change their identity.

The best way to change is to take a famous path. If they were to be his bodyguards, wouldn't that be justifiable?
With the focused talents of some of them, many good players can be cultivated. When the time comes to form their own intelligence department, they will definitely be able to bring more and more important news to themselves.

Moreover, something happened to him when he was poisoned today. Although he handed the person over to the Yamen, he still had two opinions as to whether the Yamen dared to investigate.

If the Supreme Emperor intervenes, then those who want to attack him will probably feel uncomfortable.

In this case, why don't you borrow the Emperor's sword?
So he immediately said respectfully.

"Back to the Supreme Emperor, I do have something to ask for."

"You may not know that before Chen came to see you today, I was scared and poisoned to death."

"So I hope you can allow me to form my own escort team to protect my safety. At the same time, he also hopes that the Supreme Emperor can come forward and let people investigate carefully. Who is going to attack me?"

"I ask myself, I haven't done anything harmful to nature in these years, but someone wants my life, so I also hope to be able to protect myself, and ask your majesty to help."

Your Majesty, I didn’t expect this boy’s request to be so simple.

As a viscount of the Great Zhou Empire, he could form his own escort.

However, there are only one hundred people in this escort team.

If that's the case, then why don't you help him?
Moreover, this boy had just become a Viscount, and someone wanted to kill him. There must be a big problem here, and if this boy had such great achievements, if he was killed, it would also have an impact on the empire.

For the sake of the empire, and for the safety of this boy's life, it is appropriate to help him.

"I didn't expect you to have experienced something like this just now. You are right. Anyway, you are also the Viscount of our Great Zhou Empire. If someone dares to assassinate you, I will definitely investigate it clearly."

"As for the guard team, you can form a guard team of 200 people. Well, since I just said that I will reward you, I will allow you to make an exception and form a guard team of people to protect your own safety."

Jia Qi quickly thanked him respectfully.

"My lord, thank you, the Supreme Emperor."

"Okay, in this case, I will give you a reward. If nothing happens, you can go back."

"Wei Chen retire."

After Jia Qi left the Emperor's palace, he found that his tips for turning danger into good luck had not been used.

So the danger of coming to meet the Supreme Emperor himself has not been triggered so far?
In other words, the Supreme Emperor was not prepared to do anything to him from the beginning.

Think about it, no matter what, the Supreme Emperor is also the emperor of the Great Zhou Empire.

He has contributed high-yield grain, and he is taking action against himself. How can that be justified?

Therefore, the danger in my attack should not be on the Supreme Emperor.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly discovered that the little eunuch who took him out of the palace was not going the way he came.

He followed the little eunuch calmly.

It seems that someone else wants to take action against me.

As the saying goes, people with good skills are bold.

Jia Qi's current strength is absolutely heaven-defying.

Even if someone in this palace is really disadvantageous to him, he can fight them out with his strength.

What's more, there is the matter of turning danger into good fortune.

What is turning bad luck into good fortune? That is, encountering danger can turn into something good.

He is not afraid of danger, he just wants to know what good things can happen.

As a result, he followed the little eunuch to a building, and the name on the building turned out to be Treasure Pavilion.

The little eunuch lowered his head and said.

"The Supreme Emperor has asked me to bring you here. You can take out a treasure at will from the Dengbao Pavilion. This will be regarded as the Supreme Emperor's reward to you."

Jia Qi took a deep look at the little eunuch, didn't ask any questions, and just nodded.

"Then take me in."

He really wasn't afraid of anything.

What's more, if he had the opportunity to enter the treasure pavilion of the palace, how could he let go of this opportunity?
There must be things related to cultivation in the palace.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to walk in after the little eunuch opened the door.

"This is the first floor of the Treasure Pavilion. You can choose anything at will on the first floor, but the second floor is locked and you cannot go up."

"I see."

Jia Qi agreed and went straight to a corner of the Treasure Pavilion.

Because just now, he had scanned the entire treasure pavilion, and only a small metal ball in one place caught his attention.

According to the news coming from its eyes, this metal ball turned out to be a magic weapon for cultivating immortality.

As for the specific situation, he didn't know yet, but when he walked over, he instantly included it in the storage ring.

The little eunuch didn't notice what he had taken.

Then he glanced around again and confirmed that there were no items related to monasticism on the first floor, and immediately said to the little eunuch.

"There's nothing good in here. Just give me one of the valuable ones. I have something else to do and I need to leave quickly."

The little eunuch's eyes suddenly lit up, he agreed and entered, took out a stone and handed it to Jia Qi.

"Sir, this is a priceless piece of Hetian jade. It is said to be the same jade material as the imperial seal. This piece is worth one hundred thousand taels of silver. You can choose this one, your lordship."

Jia Qi took it and took a look. It was pretty good.

He immediately put the things in his arms and said.

"Okay, that's it, let's go."

After saying that, he followed the little eunuch and walked outside.

But at this moment, he felt that the words "turn disaster into good fortune" suddenly disappeared from his system.

At the same time, the Hetian jade he carried in his arms slipped down his clothes and fell onto a ball of white skin next to him without making any sound.

"So, is it just a matter of turning danger into good fortune? As long as this thing is not on me, even if someone finds me, I can't do anything about it, so even if they deliberately frame me, it will have no impact on me."

"But it doesn't make sense to me to turn a bad situation into a good one."

"Since you want to plot against me, don't blame me for being rude."

It just so happens that he wants to continue to expand the Beggar Gang and the Artisan Alliance recently. If he can have more money to help himself spread wealth, then he can, and I will get more loyal subordinates to expand his power faster.

So with a thought in his mind, he put the fallen piece of Hetian jade into the storage ring without hesitation.

At the same time, put some nearby small gold, silver and jade objects into the storage ring.

Although the storage ring is only one cubic meter in size, it is enough to store dozens of items.

And the moment he finished storing it, the two of them had already walked out of the treasure house. The little eunuch asked someone to close the door and took him away.

The little eunuch tried to slow down as much as possible on the next journey, and Jia Qi was very cooperative. He walked slowly and took a look at the palace.

It seems that he is very obsessed with the architecture of the palace.

In this way, the two slowly arrived at the entrance of the palace.

It's just that at this time, the original guards at the palace gate have been changed.

He is no longer the same person he was when he came in.

And these people seemed to have been waiting for the two of them.

After seeing the arrival of the two men, a guard led by him spoke.

"What?"

The little eunuch quickly stepped forward and said.

"This is Lord Jia Qi. He just entered the palace and received a reward. Why don't you let him go?"

"Everyone who receives a reward is notified to us. Why didn't we receive the notification?"

"Your Majesty received other rewards and was allowed to form a bodyguard. Naturally, it has nothing to do with you. Get out of the way."

"It's not a reward for treasures. Then I'll trouble you to have your lordship check it out. There's been a lot of trouble in the palace recently, and valuables are often lost. We ask your lordship to cooperate with us in the inspection. If there's no problem, we'll let him go. If there's any problem, The younger ones can’t afford it.”

Jia Qi is really curious now.

In this palace, who can let the young eunuch and the guards deal with him together?

He really didn't remember that he had offended others in the palace and developed into a tool man.
