Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 178 Unexpected Changes
Besides, Jia Rui came to the Jiumen Admiral's Office and was listening to reports from several generals on the security of the capital.

But most of these reports are clichés.

Now is the time when the dynasty is prosperous, and there are at most some playboys in the capital, but if these people really dare to bend the law wantonly, they don't have the courage.

At this moment, a government servant hurriedly came in from outside and said, "Sir, there is a father-in-law outside who wants to see you."

Jia Rui was taken aback.

Now the Supreme Emperor is still in the south, and he rarely walks around with people in the palace. Who is this?How dare you ignore the emperor's face and come to find yourself at this time?

Although he was confused, Jia Rui still asked people to invite the eunuchs from outside.

After the eunuch came in, Jia Rui discovered at a glance that he was not the powerful eunuchs of the Dragon Head Palace that he was familiar with.

However, this eunuch still seemed familiar to Jia Rui. After thinking about it carefully, he finally remembered that he seemed to have seen this eunuch beside the emperor.

When the eunuch saw Jia Rui in the lobby, he just cupped his hands casually and said, "Master Jia, the emperor has ordered you to see him in Yangxin Hall."

Jia Rui quickly stood up, walked around the desk, knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, Jia Rui, respects your decree."

The eunuch nodded gently, turned around and left without saying anything to Jia Rui.

Jia Rui could only ask the people below to retreat. He changed his official robe again, and then hurried to the palace with his soldiers.

When he came here, naturally a eunuch introduced Jia Rui into the palace, and then came to the Yangxin Hall.

Once here, Jia Rui could not go in and waited outside for the emperor's summons.

Jia Rui waited from about ten o'clock in the morning until three or four o'clock in the afternoon. He didn't eat lunch, and he didn't see the emperor summon him.

Jia Rui was already hungry, but he didn't dare to leave. It wasn't until it was almost dinner that word came out that Jia Rui could come to see him.

Jia Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and then led by the eunuch into the main hall of Yangxin Hall. When he looked up, he saw the emperor sitting behind the dragon writing desk, still approving memorials, and Xia Shouzhong stood beside him to serve him carefully.

"Your Majesty Jia Rui, long live my emperor, long live the emperor."

"Flat body."

Fortunately, the emperor did not continue to embarrass Jia Rui and asked him to stand up.

Then, the emperor took out a memorial from the pile of memorials and asked Xia Shouzhong to hand it to Jia Rui.

"Read this memorial."

Jia Rui took the memorial, opened it doubtfully, looked at it carefully, and then felt his scalp numb.

It turned out that this memorial was from a censor in the censorship station.

The general content of this memorial is that Jia Rui is in charge of the nine admirals, his relatives control the Jingying Jiedu, and many generals in the nine important towns in the north are Jia Rui's old subordinates.

Jia Rui is also the minister of internal bodyguards. If he has the intention to rebel, the emperor's life or death cannot be predicted.

This simply opened up Jia Rui's mind.

Who is this guy?Such a smart and far-sighted person has already seen his own arrangements.

Jia Rui quickly put down the memorial, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to the emperor repeatedly and said: "My loyalty can only be demonstrated by the sun. Please observe it clearly."

Emperor Xiaokang looked at Jia Rui, who was kneeling below and trembling with fear, and a smile appeared on his lips.

In fact, Emperor Xiaokang broke into a cold sweat when he saw this memorial.However, when I thought about it more carefully, I realized that this memorial was nothing more than alarmist talk.

First of all, regardless of the fact that the Jiubian generals are all Jia Rui's old subordinates, these people are loyal to the Supreme Emperor in the Dragon Head Palace, not to him Jia Rui.

Second, Jia Rui only controlled these generals for a few months, and I am afraid there is no way to make these generals give up.

It is even more nonsense to say that Prince Teng, the governor of the Beijing Camp, and Jia Rui are relatives, so he would fully support Jia Rui's rebellion.

For example, although Jia Rui's current nine-door admiral has real power, the generals under him are either the old ones or the generals under Wang Ziteng.

Just because these people will follow Jia Rui to rebel?

I'm afraid even Jia Rui himself doesn't believe it.

At the same time, Jia Rui has just entered the court. Although he is now very aggressive and has a lot of power, it is only given by the Supreme Emperor's nod. As long as one day the Supreme Emperor is tired of Jia Rui, I am afraid that an imperial decree can make Jia Rui from The sky fell to the ground.

Today he took out this memorial just to beat Jia Rui, and at the same time to make Jia Rui retreat and give up the minister of internal bodyguards or the officers of the nine admirals.

"Well, although I know that you are loyal to the Jia Qing family, the people below don't believe it. In my opinion, you might as well relieve some of the Jia Qing family's burdens and let others do it."

Jia Rui knelt down, his heart skipping a beat.

The emperor wants to divide his power. It seems that the emperor is gone and the emperor has sole power, and he feels a little swollen.

But there is no need to stand up to the emperor now. If the other party's request is not excessive, just give it to him and wait until the Supreme Emperor comes back.

So Jia Rui pretended to be frightened and said: "Then what does the emperor mean...?"

The emperor frowned a little, this Jia Rui was really expressionless.Xia Shouzhong, who was standing next to the emperor, spoke at this time.

"Master Jia, I think you might as well let the officer of the Nine Admirals out. After all, you haven't been here for a long time. If you let someone else do it, there won't be any trouble."

Jia Rui was surprised. He didn't expect the emperor to be so greedy and wanted to take away the power of the nine admirals from his hands.

This made Jia Rui a little annoyed. If your emperor wants the minister of internal bodyguards or the official of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I will give it to you, but these nine admirals cannot give it.

"Your Majesty, the official position of the Nine Gates Admiral is the trust of the Supreme Emperor in his humble ministers. In order to repay the Supreme Emperor's love, I dare not slack off even if I die. Therefore, I cannot step down as the Nine Gates Admiral."

The emperor was unhappy. He was specifically looking for trouble with Jia Rui this time, just because he wanted to get the title of Admiral of the Nine Gates before the Supreme Emperor came back.

As long as the nine admirals are obtained, then he will have some power in the capital, and the Supreme Emperor will not be able to influence him casually when he comes back.

"Jia Aiqing, please stop talking. You have too many official positions. Giving up the nine admirals will not harm you. That's it."

After the emperor finished speaking, he stopped looking at Jia Rui.

Jia Rui originally wanted to stand up and challenge the emperor. After all, he had the emperor's decree. As long as there was no decree from the emperor, no one could deprive him of his official position as the nine-door admiral.

But Jia Rui's eyes flashed, you must know that this is the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.

There were countless guards lurking around. If he openly quarreled with the emperor, he might be killed by the emperor's disrespect.

Even if he broke out of the palace with his bravery, he might not be able to deal with it in the end. Even if the Supreme Emperor favors him, he will suffer some consequences.

I might as well endure it for the time being and wait until I leave the palace and return to the Nine Admirals. It won't be too late to regret it then.

So Jia Rui pretended to be helpless and angry, staring at the emperor with his eyes, "Your Majesty, I am the nine-door admiral of the Supreme Queen. Aren't you going to report it to the Supreme Emperor?"

The emperor's face also darkened, "Jia Rui, I will naturally report this matter to the Supreme Emperor. As for you? No need to say more, go back and prepare for the handover."

There was a moment of depression on Jia Rui's face, and finally he opened his mouth, knelt down helplessly and left.

After Jia Rui left, the emperor had a smile on his face again and said to Xia Shouzhong standing aside:
"Let Wang Aiqing take my imperial decree and take over the infantry command of the Yamen."

Xia Shouzhong also had a smile on his face at this time, "If this slave knows, go and tell Mr. Wang."

The Lord Wang they are talking about is a minister of the Ministry of War, and his name is Wang Dazhi.

This person usually doesn't show off his integrity, and he doesn't hold power in the Ministry of War. He is completely transparent.

But I didn't expect that he was actually the emperor's man, and was promoted to the rank of Admiral of the Nine Gates by the emperor Shuoran. Want to replace Jia Rui?
Not to mention this side, Jia Rui left the palace, got on his horse at the door, and then hurried back to the infantry commander's office with his soldiers.

After returning, Jia Rui ordered the generals to wait in the main hall without saying a word.

When all the generals arrived, Jia Rui arrived belatedly holding Shang Fang's sword.

The generals looked at the Shang Fang sword in Jia Rui's arms and felt that the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

Since Jia Rui became the official of the Nine Gates, he has never come to the main hall with Shang Fang's sword so solemnly.

Jia Rui glanced at the generals below, then sat firmly on his seat.

"You still don't know why I summoned you here, right?"

Generals below, you look at me and I look at you. I am indeed full of doubts.

"Haha, you all know that the emperor just invited me into the palace."

Then Jia Rui looked at the people below with a sharp look, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have dismissed my nine-door admiral's position and let others take over."

When he said this, the generals below were in an uproar.

You must know that these generals are all the Emperor's people, and they will never obey the Emperor's orders before the Emperor's death.

But Jia Rui is the confidant of the Supreme Emperor, and he is also the Admiral of the Nine Gates appointed by the Supreme Emperor himself.

Now that the emperor has dismissed Jia Rui, the official of the nine admirals, he obviously wants to seize power from the Supreme Emperor.

But the problem is a bit troublesome. Now the Supreme Emperor is in the south. The emperor is the most vocal in the capital. Now even if he reports to the Supreme Emperor, it will take more than a month to go back and forth. The water from far away cannot quench the thirst of the near.

"My lord, why don't you just give in temporarily and wait until the Emperor comes back?" a bearded general below said hesitantly.

Jia Rui smiled slightly and was noncommittal.

"Do you have any other options, generals?"

The people below looked at each other and shook their heads. At this time, there was really no other way except to resist the order and be disrespectful.

Jia Rui smiled coldly, and then said: "The Supreme Emperor gave me Shang Fang's sword. I will kill him first and then show him. I want to see who can take my power."

The generals below looked at Jia Rui in a daze. They couldn't understand. Although Shang Fang's sword was powerful, it could only kill first and then show off. The emperor is in the capital. Who can you kill?
Do you still dare to kill the emperor?

If you really dare to be so crazy, won't we accompany you?
