The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 34 Gossip about Feng Hou Jia Jing's return to the mansion (seeking a recommendation ticket for collection)
But when he came out of the Dragon Head Palace, Jia Jing raised his eyes and saw not far from the door, Qiu Shi'an, the prime minister's eunuch beside Emperor Hongde, was standing there.

Seeing Jia Jing coming out of the Dragon Head Palace, Qiu Shi'an hurried forward and smiled at Jia Jing, "Our family congratulates Lord Hou! Your Majesty has summoned you, and invite Lord Hou to accompany our family to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

"Master Hou?"

Jia Jing froze for a moment, then realized that this was her reward for suppressing the rebellion!

Thinking of Qiu Shi'an's words just now, he was overjoyed. He didn't expect the Supreme Emperor to be so generous and let him be directly promoted from Viscount to Marquis.

In ancient times, it was a man's lifelong pursuit to become a marquis and worship a minister. Jia Jing had already achieved his goal of being a marquis even when he was not as weak as the crown, so why not like it?
Although I also felt that the Taishanghuang's award was too important, and it had surpassed my own military achievements, but since the Taishanghuang was willing to award the reward, Jia Jing dared to follow it generously.

Afterwards, seeing that Qiu Shi'an wanted to sell well to him, Jia Jing took advantage of the opportunity and asked Qiu Shi'an about his family's specific rewards.

During the questioning process, Qiu Shi'an's tone was always warm and kind, which was very different from the prime minister's eunuch who used to speak in a cold voice.

Jia Jing took a look at Qiu Shi'an, and couldn't help sighing, this power is really a good medicine in the world, it can cure all kinds of dissatisfaction!

Following Qiu Shi'an to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Hongde was sitting in front of the imperial case, reviewing a thick pile of memorials.

"Chen Jiajing, see the emperor!"

Seeing Jia Jing coming in, Emperor Hongde got up and rubbed his eyebrows.

"Ai Qing is free of courtesy, come and give me a seat!"

While waiting for the little eunuch to move the stool, Emperor Hongde took a good look at Jia Jing who was standing below.This was not the first time that Emperor Hongde met Jia Jing, but it was the first time that Emperor Hongde received him in such a formal manner.

However, seeing that Jia Jing's attitude was still as respectful and humble as before, Emperor Hongde nodded silently in his heart.The Jia family belongs to the Jia family, but Jia Jing is indeed good!
I thought it was just a small pawn in the game between Xungui and the civil servants, but now it suddenly jumped out of the chessboard, transformed into a chess player, and became another rising mountain in Xungui.

From a chess piece to a chess player, Emperor Hongde couldn't help feeling that the world was unpredictable.

"Aiqing, tell me about what you saw in the Ping thief this time. I won't be out of Shenjing for a long time, and I really yearn for the outside world!"

After receiving the order from Emperor Hongde, Jia Jing recounted her journey of suppressing the rebellion and what she saw along the way.

Hearing that the soldiers of the prefectures along the way were all festered, Emperor Hongde was also terrified, and he wanted to issue an order to reprimand the soldiers and guards of the prefectures.Hearing that Jia Jing encountered many dilapidated and famine-ridden villages during his journey from North Zhili to Shandong, Emperor Hongde's heart was already cold.

"I didn't expect Da Zhou to have decayed so far, these beasts! How dare they?!"

Emperor Hongde murmured, feeling boundless anger burning his heart.

After a long time, Emperor Hongde came back to his senses and saw Jia Jing still sitting on the brocade stool with concern in his eyes, nose and mouth, "But I almost forgot that Aiqing is still here, I lost my composure!"

Jia Jing bowed and saluted, with a respectful expression, "Your Majesty has a lot to do every day, and you need to take care of the dragon's body!"

Emperor Hongde said with a smile: "If all the courtiers can be like Aiqing, how can I work so hard!"

He summoned Qiu Shi'an with a wave of his hand, and Emperor Hongde ordered: "Go and send off my Marquis Zhaowu."

After Jia Jing left, Emperor Hongde looked at Qiu Shi'an in front of him, and sighed, "The good minister I raised up with my own hands! Hearing Jia Jing's words, I seem to see the end of the dynasty recorded in the history books. The view is average!"

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much," Qiu Shi'an on the side hurriedly said, "In our Great Zhou Dynasty, there are still many courtiers who are loyal to the emperor and the country! Besides, I personally think that this country is like a big thing, what's wrong with it?" Where to go to the doctor, what is broken, what is repaired, can there be a time when it can’t be repaired?!”

Emperor Hongde originally just sighed, but now he heard Qiu Shi'an's comfort, and he was even more refreshed, "This is a good idea! But it involves the Ministry of War, and I have to go to the Supreme Emperor to ask for instructions."

Hearing Emperor Hongde talk about the Supreme Emperor, Qiu Shi'an took advantage of the situation and asked the doubts in his heart, "Your Majesty, this time the Supreme Emperor directly decreed Jia Jing to be Marquis of Wu. Isn't this reward a bit heavy?"

"There is also some compensation made by the Supreme Emperor for the death of the two old Dukes of the Jia family!" Emperor Hongde sneered, "Speaking of which, my good brother at that time raised troops to force the palace. Jia Daihua, the Jiedu envoy, came to his senses and joined the Supreme Emperor again, and now Da Zhou is in charge, it should be my good brother who was deposed!"

"This is also the reason why the Zhongshun Palace has always been at odds with the Jia family!"

"However, after the Supreme Emperor put down the rebellion, he turned back and forced the two old princes of the Jia family to commit suicide. When his health failed, he began to miss the goodness of the former prince again. In order to make up for it, he also established his heir For Prince Zhongshun..."

"Because the two princes of the Jia family were forced to commit suicide back then, the nobles who founded the country were already chilling. Now that the former crown prince has compensated, it would be bad if the Jia family was left behind, but who knows, until Now, the Jia family has produced such a promising person as Jia Jing..."

Emperor Hongde said many secret things, but Qiu Shi'an just wanted to bury his head in the ground at this moment.

Although Qiu Shi'an is clear about these old things, but he knows that he knows, but he must never say it, because sometimes knowing too much is really a very dangerous thing.

Especially in such a situation, the emperor would write down a bad word in a small notebook, ready to kill anyone at any time.

…………

Let's talk about Jia Jing.

After leaving the gate of the palace, Jia Jing took the reins from Fu and went straight to the Ministry of War.

After entering the city, he was announced by the Supreme Emperor to the Dragon Head Palace, and he never had time to go to the Ministry of War to return the soldier talisman and the general's golden seal.

He also ordered Laifu to register the number of his own private soldiers. After everything was done, Jia Jing and his party rode back to Rongguo Mansion.

When Jia Jing returned to Rongguo Mansion, he saw that the middle door of Rongguo Mansion was wide open, and Lai Da led a dozen servants waiting at the door.

Seeing Jia Jing coming back from a distance, Lai Da called the young servants around him to report to the mansion, and at the same time hurriedly brought many other servants to salute and pay his respects.

At the gate, Jia Jing turned over and got off the horse, and Lai Fu took the reins from Jia Jing's hand, and asked the boy on the side to lead the horse to the stable, while he followed Jia Jing and went straight to the mansion.

"Mr. Lai, get up, you are an old man in the mansion for many years, so you don't need so many vain gifts!"

Hearing Jia Jing's words, Lai Da got up.

Lai Da is a little guilty.

Before the decline of Ningrong and Rongfu, and those masters who inherited the legacy of their predecessors were all playing for themselves and didn't care about the affairs of the mansion, so the servants and servants below were feeling very sad. There is a bit of eagerness to try.

Even Lai Da himself, doesn't he often put on airs in front of his young master?Some juniors of the Jia family even begged for small things, and they would call him Grandpa Lai.

But now, the Jia family has another master with military merits and feudal lords. The alarm bell sounded in Lai Da's heart, and the whole person immediately thought for twelve minutes
When Lai Da was young, the old Duke was still around, and it was still Lai Da’s father who was in charge of the two houses. At that time, Lai Dashi was often told by his father to tell him in front of the old Duke. Be careful when doing things. Those battlefields The masters who went up and down were all murderous, and they couldn't tolerate those little Jiujiu who gave birth to children in the mansion at all.

Later, Lai Da became the general manager of the Rongguo Mansion. At first, he was alright, but when he saw that the masters of the Jia family's two mansions were not very shrewd and strict, his heart gradually drifted away.

It's just that at this time, every time he thinks of what he did in the past, Lai Da's heart is beating wildly, and he can't help but be more careful in his actions and words.
