Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 131 New Official Position
Next, Jia Rui seemed to be in rhythm, and approved the memorials one by one without making any mistakes.

The Taishanghuang lay on the bed and looked down at Jia Rui's serious expression, with a smile on his lips, and he kept nodding.

Dai Quan, who was standing next to him, felt his scalp go numb seeing this.

Is it true that Jia Rui is the illegitimate son of the Supreme Emperor as rumored outside?Otherwise, how could a supreme being who has been in control for decades trust a person to such an extent?
Time passed quickly, and more than 20 memorials had been annotated before lunch.

After Jia Rui finished approving the memorial, he hurriedly and carefully stood up to salute the Supreme Emperor, and then secretly looked at the Supreme Emperor's face with his eyes.

After reading the last memorial approved by Jia Rui, the Supreme Emperor nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right, you've dealt with matters big and small. If you have this ability, I can relax a bit. From today onwards, you come to me every morning and review the memorials in front of me."

After hearing this, Jia Rui quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and said, "Please take back your orders, the Supreme Emperor."

"I know what you're worried about. You don't have to take this matter to heart. I'll support you from behind."

After the Emperor finished speaking, he waved his hand for Jia Rui to stand up, and then said: "This time you have made great contributions in conquering the west, but there is no important position for you in the court for the time being. So, from today on, you will be the minister of bodyguard in the territory." , Director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

After hearing this, Jia Rui fell to his knees excitedly.

"The minister, Jia Ruiwan, will not hesitate to die."

The reason why Jia Rui was so excited was because from this incident, it could be seen how much the Supreme Emperor trusted him.

The Minister of Internal Guard and the Chief of the House of Internal Affairs generally cannot be held by the same person at the same time.

These two official positions, one is to protect the safety of the Supreme Emperor and the emperor, and the other is the real chief executive of the palace. The food imported by the emperor, and even the clothes worn by the emperor, have to go through the chief of the House of Internal Affairs.

And if these two positions are given to one person, then this person can even manipulate the life and death of the emperor.

It can be seen from this that the Supreme Emperor's trust in Jia Rui has reached the point where he has put his wealth and life in Jia Rui's hands.

Even though he knew that the Supreme Emperor had trust in himself because of the soul-absorbing talisman, Jia Rui was very moved by this trust.

"Okay, okay, let's go back and rest first. Remember to come tomorrow morning."

"My minister retire."

Jia Rui kowtowed again before he dared to stand up, bowed and retreated.

Jia Rui came to the square in front of Longshou Palace and let out a long breath.

At this time, Dai Quan's voice came from behind Jia Rui.

"Lord Jia, go slowly."

Jia Rui echoed to take a look, only to see Dai Quan trotting towards the side in a hurry.

Jia Rui hastened a few steps towards Dai Quan, and reached out to support him.

"Old inner minister, is there something wrong with the Supreme Emperor?"

"The Supreme Emperor has already prepared for lunch. There is nothing else to do. I just have something to discuss with Mr. Jia."

"Old Inner Prime Minister, if you have something to do, just order it."

"It's not a big deal. It's not that some time ago, a silk merchant from Jiangnan wanted to sell a batch of high-quality satin to the palace. Our family had already agreed, but Mr. Jia, you are now the head of the House of Internal Affairs, so you have to make a deal with him." Master Jia will let you know."

"What do I think is a big deal? How can you dare to refute the face of the general manager for such a trivial matter? Just let him come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find me."

"Then thank you, my lord."

After the chat, Jia Rui saluted, turned around and left.

Dai Quan was left looking at Jia Rui's leaving figure with a hint of awe in his heart.

In the past, Dai Quan just thought that Jia Rui was the emperor's favorite, and his status was at most equal to his own, and he could not threaten him.

But judging from today's situation, in the heart of the Supreme Emperor, Jia Rui weighed much more than himself.

Because since the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, Dai Quan did not dare to say a word about government affairs in front of the Supreme Emperor, because he knew that the Supreme Emperor most disliked other people's meddling in matters within his power.

Even the emperor, if it wasn't for the emperor's old age and lack of energy, would never let him control part of the right to approve red.

But now, he was able to ask Jia Rui to review the memorials instead of him, which already regarded Jia Rui as his true caring person.

If there was a conflict with Jia Rui, let alone Dai Quan, I'm afraid even the emperor would be overwhelmed.

Therefore, in order to win over the relationship with Jia Rui, he gave one of the benefits to Jia Rui.

You know, all the silk and satin used in the palace for a year has gone to sea, and the price is several times higher than the market price.

These silks and satins are all purchased by the Neiwu Prefecture, except for the Jiangning weaving tribute.

In the past, this part of the power was in the hands of Dai Quan, and then he said hello to King Zhongshun of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Now, in order to win over Jia Rui, Dai Quan even gave Jia Rui all the fat in his mouth.

Besides, just after Jia Rui left the palace, he served as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the news of the minister of internal guards spread throughout the palace, even the cabinet and the Sixth Department knew about it.

For this young man to hold such an important position, all the dignitaries felt very incredible.This time, the Supreme Emperor even dismissed his own son, King Zhongshun, as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in order to make room for Jia Rui.

It's a bit confusing!

And the emperor in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, when he heard the news, overturned the table angrily.

In order to sleep peacefully, he escaped from Qianqing Palace to Mental Cultivation Palace, but now Jia Rui has served as the Minister of Internal Guards, which means that all the guards in the palace have been handed over to Jia Rui.

Now there was nothing to say, no matter where he hid, he couldn't avoid Jia Rui.

Now the emperor has sprayed Zhang Ji's dog blood on his head.

Fortunately, you are still the general who leads the army, and you can't even handle such a small matter. If you secretly wiped out Jia Rui on the battlefield, how could there be any troubles today?
But it is useless to say these now.

The emperor hurriedly and secretly arranged, carefully selected the guards around him, and then separated three or forty of them individually, and let them guard them personally.

These people are the last people beside the emperor himself, and other people can be transferred at will.Even if these people are desperate, the emperor can't let others transfer them away casually.

Jia Rui left the palace and came to the yamen of the House of Internal Affairs outside the palace.

He just took up the post of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs today, so he naturally wanted to take a tour of his new territory and announce to others that it was already his territory.

Just as Jia Rui entered the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, dozens of people ran out immediately, including eunuchs and officials.

The leader is a middle-aged eunuch.

Jia Rui knew this eunuch well. He had met him when he was the deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs last time.

The eunuch's surname was Li, but Jia Rui didn't ask him what his name was. In Jia Rui's mind, the eunuch was also a small person, so there was no need to inquire about his name.

After the eunuch Li saw Jia Rui, he hurried forward to salute Qian.

"The little one has seen the Master Manager."

The officials and eunuchs behind him also quickly knelt down to salute.

Looking at the people kneeling all over the yard, Jia Rui was very satisfied and proud.

When I first came to this world, I was almost hanged for being so hard-pressed by dozens of taels of silver?
Who would have thought that after one or two years of hard work, he would reach this point. In this world, except for the emperor who doesn't buy his face, who else would look down on him?
"Okay, everyone get up."

After Jia Rui finished speaking, he walked in. These people quickly stood up, surrounded Jia Ruilai, and arrived at the main hall.

After arriving at the main hall, Jia Rui sat firmly in the middle without hesitation.

"Where's the seal of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Eunuch Li hurriedly took a step forward, bowed his clothes and replied carefully: "Return to the chief, the seal of the chief of the House of Internal Affairs is still with Prince Zhongshun."

Jia Rui rang, saying that the person with the seal would be back soon, because without the seal, even if he was the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was famous but without authority.

"You sent someone to Prince Zhongshun's mansion, saying that it was the emperor's intention to ask King Zhongshun to send someone back the seal of the head of the House of Internal Affairs."

The eunuchs and officials below looked at each other in shock after hearing Jia Rui's words.

But I haven't seen the imperial decree from the Supreme Emperor. Is Jia Rui passing down the imperial decree falsely?
Jia Rui glanced at them and said, "The Supreme Emperor personally told me about this when I was in the Dragon Head Palace. If you don't believe it, just send someone to the Dragon Head Palace to ask."

Even if these people are very courageous, they dare not go to the Dragon Head Palace to disturb the Supreme Emperor.

Moreover, thinking that Jia Rui was favored by the Supreme Emperor, he did not dare to pass on the imperial decree. This should be the meaning of the Supreme Emperor and his old man.

Therefore, an official named Wang came out immediately.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion."

After speaking, he saluted Jia Rui and left in a hurry.

The others looked at Lao Wang's leaving figure and felt that this guy had taken the lead.

This is such a good opportunity to flatter the Chief Manager, and it just slipped past my eyes.

Especially that eunuch Li, looking at Lao Wang's back, gritted his teeth.

Good guy, at that time in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, except for King Zhongshun, this old king would only listen to himself. But now it’s better. Without his own hint, this old king went directly to do things. This is to be with him in the new relationship. Competing for favor in front of the manager.

You wait, wait for this matter to pass, and see how I deal with you.

Not to mention that eunuch Li hated the old king to death in his heart, besides, the old king left the house of internal affairs and got on a horse, and hurried to the palace of Zhongshun.

In the past, when he came to the gate of Zhongshun Prince's Mansion, he had to be respectful to the servants and eunuchs standing guard at the gate.

But today, he felt that his identity was different, and he carried the will of the Supreme Emperor, so after getting off his horse, he boldly entered through the front door.

The guards and eunuchs guarding the door naturally couldn't let him in, so more than [-] people rushed out all at once, punching and kicking him.

"Stop it all, I came here with the words of the Supreme Emperor, are you going to beat the imperial envoy who delivered the decree?"
