Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 159 Cleaning
The morning meeting quickly ended with the Emperor taking control of the situation and the Emperor looking downcast.

After the morning dynasty, Jia Rui did not go to the infantry commander's office to take over the handover. Instead, he hurriedly entered the Dragon Head Palace.

After entering the main hall, Jia Rui glanced and saw the Supreme Emperor sitting leisurely on the throne, reading a book and drinking tea.

When he saw Jia Rui coming, he waved gently with his hand, and Jia Rui quickly trotted to the side of the Supreme Emperor.

"If you don't go to the Infantry Commander's Yamen to hand over, what are you doing here at this time?"

Jia Rui said with a shy smile: "Isn't it that the Supreme Emperor feels a little unsure?"

The Supreme Emperor glanced at Jia Rui and seemed to see through his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.

"Afraid that after I leave, the Emperor will use you as a slut?"

Jia Rui nodded quickly, "Your Majesty, you know that I and the Emperor are not at odds with each other. If you can't support me, the Emperor may find any reason to get rid of me."

The Supreme Emperor smiled and said: "Didn't I give you Shang Fang's sword? What are you afraid of?"

After Jia Rui heard this, he muttered: "Even if I have Shang Fang's sword, I can't compare to the emperor. Who will listen to me when the court is full of people?"

The Supreme Emperor smiled after hearing this, and then winked at Dai Quan on the side.

Dai Quan immediately went to a cabinet nearby, took a key from a young eunuch's hand, opened it himself and took out a yellow box, and then sent it to the Supreme Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor took the box and opened it gently, only to see a golden shovel token inside.

The Supreme Emperor took out the token. Jia Rui glanced at it and was also surprised.

I saw that this token was made entirely of gold, with a nine-curved dragon on one side and the words "I am here in person" engraved on the other side.

"This token was given to me personally by my father in order to enable me to mobilize the army."

When saying this, the Supreme Emperor seemed to be missing the old days, and kept stroking the token with his hand.

After a while, the Supreme Emperor put the token into the box again and pushed it in front of Jia Rui.

"You can keep this token temporarily. If the emperor's behavior goes too far and you don't have time to report it to me, you can use this token to control the emperor."

Jia Rui was finally relieved. According to what the Supreme Emperor said, as long as the token was there, there was nothing the Emperor could do to him.

Of course, Jia Rui didn't want to use the function of this token, because once this token appeared, it meant that the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor were completely at odds.

However, after all, this token was his trump card, so Jia Rui took it carefully and held it tightly to his chest.

The Supreme Emperor was actually quite satisfied with his arrangement. As long as the military power was in his hands, it didn't matter even if the emperor controlled the civil servants. As long as he returned to the capital and said a word, the emperor could return to his original form.

As he grew older, the Emperor placed more emphasis on power. Even his own son, the emperor whom he personally supported to the throne, the Emperor no longer trusted.

"Okay, you go back and hand over."

Jia Rui bowed respectfully and then exited the Dragon Head Palace.

After leaving the palace and going outside, Jia Rui went home first and carefully hid the box in his arms.

After that, he led the people straight to the infantry commander's yamen.

The infantry commander's office was one of the important armed forces stationed in Beijing of this dynasty.Mainly responsible for the guards and access control inside and outside the nine inner city gates of the capital (Zhengyang Gate, Chongwen Gate, Xuanwu Gate, Anding Gate, Desheng Gate, Dongzhimen, Xizhimen, Chaoyang Gate, Fucheng Gate), as well as night patrols, fire fighting, In charge of compiling and inspecting Baojia, bans, arrests, and prison sentences, etc., he was actually the commander of the Imperial Guards of the Qing Dynasty.The rank is the second grade.

Because he is mainly responsible for the internal and external security of the Nine Gates, he is also called the Admiral of the Nine Gates.

Jia Rui came to the infantry commander's office with the imperial edict in hand.

There was already someone waiting for him at the Yamen Gate. After all, the nine admirals were in the court hall at that time.

The current nine-door admiral was also very depressed about being suddenly dismissed from his post, but he did not dare not listen to the Supreme Emperor's words, so he could only hand over the military power obediently.

After Jia Rui accepted the nine-door admiralship, he immediately began to count the number of soldiers and horses in the Yamen.

In addition to being responsible for the defense of the nine gates of the capital, the infantry commander's yamen was also responsible for curfew patrols, and even had some functions of Shuntian Prefecture.

Therefore, there are many people in the infantry commander's yamen. Jia Rui took a quick inventory and found that there were more than [-] officers and soldiers in the infantry commander's yamen.

Including some helpers and government servants, there are nearly [-] people in total.

This is one of the most important military forces in the capital.

The position of Admiral of the Nine Gates has always been held by those closest to the emperor.

Although Jia Rui accepted the infantry command yamen, he did not dare to take it lightly. Who knows which side the generals under his command are leaning towards. If something goes wrong and these people betray him, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, the first document for Jia Rui to serve as the admiral of the Nine Gates was sent to Wang Ziteng, the governor of the Beijing Camp outside Beijing.

This document requires Wang Ziteng to immediately select trustworthy and reliable people from his subordinates and go to the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion to be on standby.

Besides, Wang Ziteng has felt a lot more relaxed during this period. He did not shoulder the burden of the four major families alone, but now two people are shouldering it together.

Coupled with the fact that Jia Rui is now quite favored by the emperor, people who used to cause trouble to the four major families from time to time are now beginning to live in peace.

This allowed Prince Teng to live a peaceful and peaceful life.

When he came back from the morning session today, he was in an even better mood, because Jia Rui was appointed as the Admiral of the Nine Gates, which meant that the Supreme Emperor once again handed over the defense of the capital to their four major families.You must know that this kind of grand occasion only appeared in the founding of the country. At that time, Rong Guogong and Ning Guogong controlled the inside and outside of Beijing respectively, and the power of the four major families was the same.

At that time, even the four kings with different surnames had to stay away from the Jia family.

It's a pity. If I had known that Jia Rui was so capable, I should have married one of the Wang family's daughters to Jia Rui. Now it's better to let the Xue family take advantage.

Just as Wang Ziteng was sighing, a soldier came in from outside and hurried to Wang Ziteng's side with a document.

"Commander, the infantry commander is in charge of the Yamen, and the nine admirals have sent documents."

Wang Ziteng was stunned for a moment. Judging by the time, Jia Rui had just taken over the infantry command office, so why did he write a document for him immediately?

Thinking so, Wang Ziteng took the document, opened it and looked at it carefully, and then he frowned.

After thinking for a while, Wang Ziteng's eyebrows widened, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

It seems that Jia Rui is a pretty good boy. He has not been dazzled by the sudden power and knows how to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Wang Ziteng thought for a moment, and then said to his soldiers: "Didn't the people below send more than 20 documents asking for merit a few days ago?"

"Commander, that's true, but you haven't approved it yet."

It turned out that more than ten days ago, his cronies sent a list, and the people on the list were all Wang Ziteng's cronies.

This is the guy to promote this year.

"Transfer all these people to the infantry commander's office and let them be promoted to the nine admirals."

After saying this, Wang Ziteng thought for a moment. If these people were only transferred temporarily, they might be unruly.

"Send their resumes to the Ministry of War and report them. From now on, they will be members of the Nine Admirals."

In this way, these people are Jia Rui's subordinates.

What's even more terrible is that these people's grades are not low, and they should be entrusted with important tasks as soon as they arrive at the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion.

At that time, Jia Rui can firmly control the power in the name of settling these people.

"Yes, I'll do it when I'm young."

That afternoon, Jia Rui received more than twenty heroes.

These people have the lowest official position of Qianhu. Do they have a partial general?

Jia Rui was not polite. As soon as he accepted these people, he assigned them errands and directly distributed the original troops of the Nine Admirals' Mansion to them.

As for the original generals of the Nine Admirals, Jia Rui did not break up with him, but transferred them to some idle positions to see the effect.

At this point, Jia Rui has barely taken control of the infantry command office. As long as he slowly gets used to it in the next period of time, his power will become tighter and tighter.

While Jia Rui was making arrangements at the infantry commander's office, Emperor Xiaokang was currently smashing things in the Yangxin Hall!

Good guy, I finally had a chance to take power, but this time it was ruined again.

Especially for Jia Rui, Emperor Xiaokang became more and more dissatisfied with him, and even wished he had to eat Jia Rui alive.

This guy not only controls the security of the palace, but now also controls the infantry commander's office. It can be said that the entire capital is under his control.

Coupled with the fact that Wang Ziteng, the governor of the Beijing camp, the emperor was gone now, and the emperor did not dare to act rashly.

Because now two knives have been placed on his neck. If he moves even a little, the knives will chop off his head.

Emperor Xiaokang now understood what it means to be ginger and old to be spicy. With the Supreme Emperor watching over him, he couldn't even think of being careful.

Emperor Xiaokang sat on the throne and thought for a moment, then said to Xia Shouzhong who was standing aside: "I will spend the night at Concubine Yuan's place today."

Xia Shouzhong glanced at the emperor, then quickly agreed, and then went out to arrange the arrangements.

The emperor sighed. It seemed that he was going to change his strategy. If he wanted to take power safely in the future, he should win over Jia Rui and paralyze his mind now.

Soon the emperor's eyebrows stood up again, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Let this kid Jia Rui be happy for a few days. When the Supreme Emperor Huang Bintian becomes the emperor in the future, he will be in charge of the power alone. That's when your debt will be paid off.

Naturally, everything in the capital cannot escape the eyes and ears of the Supreme Emperor.

The actions of several parties are under the supervision of the Supreme Emperor.

The Emperor seemed to have expected this.

After he understood the situation, the smile on his face never broke.

Dai Quan, who was standing behind him, didn't even know what the Emperor was laughing at, but he still smiled attentively with the Emperor.

In the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, Dai Quan, who was smiling apologetically at this moment, looked so stupid.
