Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 406 When disaster strikes, we all fly away

Jia Dairu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The emperor is wise and wise, and may not be a coward."

"My grandson entered the palace that day. If he hadn't still had some influence in the palace, he would have been torn into pieces." Jia Rui explained in a low voice.

Jia Dairu frowned, "Don't you think of your past achievements, the Emperor?"

"The emperor only has power in his heart, how can he have family affection?"

Jia Dairu sighed, "The matter has come to an end. There is no need to talk about the past. I just hope that you will treat the emperor well in the future and not let the history books leave a bad name."

Jia Rui smiled and said: "There are not many people in the world who criticize Emperor Wu of Wei? But who can deny Emperor Wu of Wei's talents and strategies?"

After listening to Jia Rui's words, Jia Dairu stared at his grandson closely, his eyes sharp.

At this time, Jia Rui looked calm.

At the end, Jia Dairu sighed, and then said: "The royal family and my Jia family are more grateful than the sky. Even in the end, we can't cut off the roots."

Jia Rui smiled slightly and said, "My grandson has taken note of it."

At this time, the atmosphere in the room became a little more relaxed.

"Okay, okay, get up quickly." When Mrs. Wang saw her grandfather and grandson finished speaking, she quickly ordered the maid next to her to help Jia Rui up.

After Jia Rui stood up, he smiled and sat aside and said, "I haven't been at home these days. Nothing happened at home, right?"

"Everything is fine! Jia Zhen came to see us a few times." Mrs. Wang said with a smile.

"Jia Zhen has come here yet?" Jia Rui asked doubtfully.

Xue Baochai, who had been silent beside Jia Rui, replied at this time: "I came here the afternoon before yesterday. I paid homage to the old lady and the old lady. I was planning to stay in the house to pay homage, but I asked the old lady to send her away."

Jia Zhen really knows how to maneuver. As soon as he gained power, he rushed over to show his filial piety to his old man.

But Jia Rui just treated Jia Zhen as a clown and didn't take it to heart.

Next, the family had a reunion dinner in the old man's yard, and then Jia Rui took his wife and concubines and left back to his residence.

Returning to Xue Baochai's yard, Jia Rui sat down on the bed easily, then stretched and said, "It's better to stay at home. You don't know how hard the bed in the palace is. Your waist hurts after sleeping for several days."

Xue Baochai brought a cup of tea to Jia Rui's hand, and then said with a smile: "There are so many beauties in the palace, why didn't you go to rest with them?"

"Haha, how dare I?" Jia Rui said while drinking tea.

In fact, it's not that Jia Rui doesn't dare, but because of the current situation, Jia Rui is not in the mood, and secondly, he is afraid of being assassinated.

Xue Baochai didn't believe Jia Rui's words at all. She knew her husband clearly. He was a lustful ghost.

However, she would not disobey Jia Rui on this issue. Instead, she sat next to Jia Rui and asked in a low voice:

"What should we do next?"

Jia Rui glanced at Xue Baochai and didn't want to answer at first, but after thinking about it, Xue Baochai was more intelligent than himself, so it would be okay to consult with her.

"There is an undercurrent surging on the Jinling side. I am going to add fuel to their flames and make them cause trouble. Therefore, I have asked the people below to prepare to make suggestions. I will be promoted to prime minister, Duke of the country, and Jiuxi."

Xue Baochai's eyes flashed after hearing this, and then he asked: "In this case, we have no way out at all."

"Haha, the emperor has strong soldiers and horses. All the soldiers and horses in the world are under my control. Why can't I?" Jia Rui said with some pride.

Xue Baochai was relieved when he heard this.

She used to worry that Jia Rui could not control the world's soldiers and horses, and would eventually be ruined. Now she heard that the soldiers and horses were under her own control, and she was relieved.

"Then I would like to congratulate the Duke in advance." Xue Baochai smiled sweetly and leaned on Jia Rui.

Jia Rui laughed, hugged Xue Baochai and said, "You are also indispensable for the position of the Duke's wife. This is also a small one. One day in the future, your mother will be honored by the world."

Jia Rui was a little carried away when he said this.

Only in his own home can Jia Rui completely relax and say something from his heart.

And Xue Baochai was lying in Jia Rui's arms, thinking about the bright future, her eyes became watery involuntarily, looking so tempting.

Jia Rui looked at the charming Xue Baochai and couldn't help but think of the wedding night, when Xue Baochai looked so adoring and coquettish.

A fire arose in Jia Rui's heart, and he urgently needed Xue Baochai's gentle water to extinguish it.

Then Jia Rui suppressed Xue Baochai and indulged in a moment of indulgence.

Li Wanneng's mansion.

In the past few days, Li Wanneng could barely sleep a day.

Every time he closed his eyes, it was Jia Rui who led his troops to rush into his home, killing him all over the house.

He was really scared.

Normally, he always thought that he was selfless and had nothing to fear, but at the last moment, he felt that he was not so brave.

A few days ago, out of passion, I wanted to fight Jia Rui to the death, and wrote several letters to Jinling in a row, hoping to contact the people on the other side to create a huge wave.

But after calming down in the past few days, Li Waneng thought about Jia Rui's strength in the capital, and then thought about it again, why did Jia Rui dare to be so unscrupulous?

Li Waneng scared herself so much that she broke out in cold sweats. Jia Rui had imprisoned the emperor for so many days, and the leading generals in the world did not even respond at all.

This is not normal!

You must know that these generals are in awe of the emperor on the surface, but in fact, none of them has a little ambition in their hearts.

Jia Rui imprisoned the emperor at this time, which was when they were very ambitious, but these people were completely silent, which was not in line with common sense.

There is only one possibility, that is, these people are almost all Jia Rui's people.

Every time he thought about this, Li Wanneng felt it was impossible. How could Jia Ruihe De control so many generals?

But no matter how unreasonable it is, Li Wan can't help but believe it when the facts are presented here.

Because of this, Li Wanneng felt scared.

Facing a gamble with no hope of victory, Li Wan's energy and heart were cold.

Just when he was thinking wildly, the door of the study room was pushed open, and a little girl of three or four years old ran in jumping.

"Grandpa, grandma asked you to go to dinner." A crisp and childish voice rang.

Li Wanneng's thoughts were pulled back. He stood up from his seat and hugged the little girl, then asked with a forced smile: "Why did Ning Ning come here by herself?"

"Originally, Sister Zhizhi accompanied me, but then she had something to do and left, so I came here alone." The little girl named Ning Ning said innocently.

Li Wanneng didn't take it seriously at first, and was about to take his granddaughter to the back for dinner, but after walking out of the study, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What's the matter with Sister Zhizhi?"

"I don't know either. It seemed like a bird of some kind flew over and she left in a hurry." Ning Ning answered innocently.

Li Wanneng's face had turned white.

Jia Rui knew about his actions in the past two days. This was Li Wanneng's only thought now.

The reason why he is so desperate is because he also has some knowledge of the power of the Intelligence Department.

Li Waneng staggered for a moment, then called a boy over, "Send the little girl to the back."

The boy quickly picked up Ning Ning and wanted to take her away.

Although the little girl was young, she was very smart. She did not struggle, but she still looked at her grandfather.

Li Waneng waved his hand and asked the servant to take Ning Ning away. He stood alone in the yard and walked back and forth for a few steps. Finally, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet.

Your Majesty, don’t blame me. Now that the big thing is over, let’s go our separate ways!

Thinking of this, Li Waneng hurriedly put on some clothes and left the mansion with a few people in a sedan.

Where is he going?

He is going to the home of the new bachelor Shen Wence.

Now everyone in the court knows that Jia Rui has two absolutely die-hard confidants, one is Shen Wence and the other is Jia Yucun.

However, among the two people, Shen Wence has a better reputation.

Because after Shen Wence took charge of the Ministry of Personnel, although he put Jia Rui first in everything, he was still fair in handling official affairs, and everyone in the court recognized this.

But Jia Yucun was different. After becoming Minister of the Ministry of War, this guy became corrupt.

Although he was making weapons and did not dare to make any mistakes in delivering food and wages, he often accepted bribes to do things for others, and his reputation in the court was very poor.

Therefore, this time Li Wan was able to break the boat and decided to seek refuge with Jia Rui. The first person he looked for was Shen Wence.

Besides, Shen Wence has been feeling very proud these past few days and has finally climbed to the position he expected.

Moreover, within the cabinet, Shen Wence still has a vague tendency to become the next chief minister of the cabinet.

Therefore, Shen Wence was busy in the cabinet these days, and he couldn't relax when he got home. All kinds of people doing things and giving gifts surrounded the door of Shen Wence's house.

Therefore, when Li Wan was able to reach Shen Wence's house, he was blocked for more than two hundred meters and could not reach the door.

In the end, Li Wanneng sent one of his servants to squeeze to the front, said hello to the people there, and then reluctantly made way for him to come to Shen Wence's side door.

When we came to the side door, there were several boys waiting here. As soon as they saw that Li Wan was coming, they immediately opened the door, let Li Wan in, and then quickly closed the door.

Li Waneng entered the side door, got off the sedan, and immediately asked: "Is Mr. Shen in the mansion?"

"My master is waiting for you in the study."

Then a boy took Li Wanneng to the outer study room.

Li Wan could see Shen Wence standing at the door of the study from a distance, stroking his beard and looking towards him.

Li Wanneng trotted a few steps quickly, came to Shen Wence's side, and bowed deeply, "I have met you, sir."

Shen Wence didn't hold back. He stepped forward to help Li Wanneng up and said with a smile, "Let's go to the study to talk."

After saying that, he kindly pulled Li Wanneng into the study.

It turned out that Li Shen Wence had just received a message from someone below and knew that Li Wan could ask for a meeting, so he had already guessed what Li Wan Neng was here for.
