Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 487 Follow-up
"Call him in."

Following Jia Rui's order, Shen Wence was taken into the Yangxin Hall.

After entering, Shen Wence immediately knelt down and saluted Jia Rui.

"What brings you here?" Jia Rui asked while looking at the memorial.

Since Jia Rui didn't let Shen Wence stand up, he could only kneel there and answer: "My lord, I'm here to ask about what happened in Beijing yesterday. Do you need me to do anything for you?"

Although he spoke implicitly, Jia Rui still knew that Shen Wence was here to inquire about information.

"Get up and talk."

With Jia Rui's words, Shen Wence dared to stand up.

"You also know the chaos in Beijing these days. This is not because I am cruel, but because I have no choice!"

When he said this, Jia Rui stood up, pretended to cover his eyes with his sleeves, and pretended to wipe his tears a few times.

Shen Wence is naturally a wonderful person. When he saw Jia Rui pretending like this, he immediately followed suit.

"My Lord, you are kind and generous. Everyone in the world knows that if you can force you to do such a thing, you must have done something that is outrageous."

Jia Rui was very satisfied with Shen Wence's performance. He put down his sleeves and pretended to sigh:
"You don't know. I received a secret report a few days ago that some royal families in the capital actually colluded with the rebels in the south regardless of their status and wanted to stand on their own in the south. Isn't this a betrayal of the late emperor and the late emperor?"

When he said this, Jia Rui gritted his teeth. This time he really said it instead of pretending.

"Tell me, these people, who live on the salary of the imperial court, dare to collude with rebellion. A hundred deaths will not be enough to atone for their sins."

Only now did Shen Wence understand why Jia Rui was so angry. It turned out that the royal family in the court was preparing to start an uprising in the south and fight against Jia Rui.

If this is the case, it really touches Jia Rui's fundamental interests. No wonder Jia Rui was rude this time and killed all the royal family without any mercy.

At present, except for the emperor who left one or two sons, the rest of the royal family of this dynasty can be said to be all dead.

After thinking of this, Shen Wence seemed to understand why. He looked up first and saw Jia Rui still staring at the ceiling, as if thinking about something.

A smile appeared on Shen Wence's lips, he took two steps forward and said softly: "My lord, these royal families still have many farms near the capital. If they are not protected, fish will slip through the net!"

Jia Rui was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what the ID card meant.

You must know that many of these royal children are playboys. If they are not protected, they will be involved in philandering, leaving no trace of romance.

If we say that in this dynasty, these romantic roots will never see the light of day, but when one day we change dynasties, these romantic roots may be the daggers of some ambitious people.

"You're right to remind me."

Jia Rui praised Shen Wence, and then immediately called out: "Old Li."

Following Jia Rui's call, Lao Li immediately walked in from outside and knelt on the ground, "Master, what are your orders?"

"You also heard what Shen Wence said just now. Go immediately and wipe out any future troubles for me."

"The slaves obey."

After Lao Li finished speaking, he immediately went out.

Next, Jia Rui sat back on the throne and told Shen Wence: "There are still many people in the court who are in cahoots with these royal families. When you go back, go through the names of all the officials in the court. If there is any suspicion, , If you can find a fault, give him a job. If you can't find a fault, let him stay in the idle position. "

"I obey, little one."

Jia Rui stretched, then stood up and walked to the door of the Yangxin Palace store. He looked at the sunlight coming in from the outside and said to himself: "After this time, the world should be at peace, right?"

Shen Wence was behind and heard Jia Rui's words clearly. He also understood that Jia Rui couldn't wait any longer. In fact, not only Jia Rui can't wait, but also Shen Wence, Jia Rui's confidants.

If Jia Rui continues to stay like this, although these people are said to be powerful, they still have some flaws because they do not have inherited titles.

Once Jia Rui ascends the throne, which of these old people will not be rewarded by the prince?
After all, it would be better for Jia Rui to become the emperor immediately.

"Is there no letter from Jia Yucun during this time?" Jia Rui suddenly asked.

"My lord, Mr. Jia has been in contact with the court during this period, but he didn't say anything important in his letter."

Jia Rui frowned and thought for a moment, hesitating a little.

Did Jia Yucun really not find out what happened in Jiangnan? Or did you deliberately conceal it after discovering it?

As Jia Rui's position became higher and higher, Jia Rui's suspicion began to become much more serious than before.

Jia Rui's current employment principle is: use people who are suspicious of you, and use people with suspicion.

"Okay, you go back to handle official business, appease the people below, and don't let the court get into chaos."

After receiving Jia Rui's words and getting the news he wanted, Shen Wence saluted Jia Rui with satisfaction and then left.

When Jia Rui was the only one left in Yangxin Hall, he looked into the distance and frowned.

While Jia Rui was thinking about something, a young eunuch quietly came to the door of the palace and whispered to the eunuch guarding the door.

The eunuch nodded lightly, then sent the person away, then carefully came not far from Jia Rui, knelt down and reported to Jia Rui: "My lord, someone from the mansion has sent a message, asking you to go back." trip."

Jia Rui frowned. Didn't he just come out of the house? What else would make you go back?
"Who spread the word?"

"Returning to the country, my lord, this is what the old lady sent someone to say."

When he heard that it was Mr. Jia Dairu, Jia Rui immediately lost his temper.

"Okay, tell them and I'll go back after lunch."

After saying that, Jia Rui hurried back and asked someone to prepare lunch. He had a confinement meal with Xue Baochai here, and then rode back to the house.

After returning to Wu Guogong's mansion, his personal servant Wangcai immediately came over and said, "Sir, you are back. The old lady has been urging me several times."

"Where is the old man?"

"As for me, the old lady is out in the study."

Jia Rui nodded, then walked towards the study room.

When they arrived outside the study, a boy had already seen him. He quickly opened the door curtain and invited Jia Rui in.

Jia Rui came in and saw that the old man was sitting behind the desk, flipping through the book boredly.

As Jia Dairu got older, he didn't like reading very much. Even when he read books, he would read some biographies and novels.

Now he can't even read anything in the Four Books and Five Classics.

"My grandson pays his respects to the old man."

Jia Dairu threw the book on the desk and said, "Get up and answer the question."

With Jia Dairu's words, Jia Rui dared to stand up, and then cautiously came to Jia Dairu's side, "Old Master, you are so anxious to call me back, what's the matter?"
