Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 585 Punishment
Jia Rui didn't know these things. He was still happy for the peace inside and outside the court during this period.

Since Jia Rui ascended the throne, he has paid close attention to the movements inside and outside the government, especially among the people.

It was found that although there was some slight turmoil among the people, these turmoils were within the range that Jia Rui could tolerate. Therefore, in order to show his generosity, he only issued an order to reprimand and did not take extreme actions.

Of course, this is not because Jia Rui doesn't want to take action, but because he wants to wait for these people to get more powerful, and then they can eradicate all the remnants of the previous dynasty.

There are not many things going on among the people, and Jia Rui has now focused his attention on the prince's education.

The Wenhua Hall in the palace was also renovated, and the Imperial Academy also sent famous old Hanlin to serve as teachers for several princes.

Being the prince's teacher is a hard job, but it is also a beautiful job.

If the princes do not pay attention to their studies and make no progress, these teachers will also be punished, but then again, if a prince is favored and even becomes the next emperor in the future, then his teachers will also follow suit.

Because of this, even though it was somewhat dangerous, these people from the Hanlin Academy still swooped over like flies smelling meat.

Now the Wenhua Hall is mainly for reading to the two princes, namely the eldest prince Jia Xuan and the second prince Jia An.

You must know that you can see old age at the age of three, and this eldest son is already seven or eight years old. If you don't care about it, you will be really useless in the future.

The reason why it was able to be delivered so quickly was also due to the fact that those in the cabinet had long disliked Jia Xuan, the eldest prince, so they sent it directly to Jia Rui as soon as they received the memorial.

One eunuch wanted to make a report, but when Lao Li, who was standing next to Jia Rui, glanced at him, the eunuch was so frightened that he knelt down and did not dare to move.

When he went in and took a look, Jia Rui really couldn't bear it anymore.

So Jia Rui ignored the memorials piled on the table and directly ordered Lao Li to prepare for the battle. He wanted to go to the Wenhua Hall in person.

It turned out that there was a young Hanlin giving a lecture inside, and Jia An was sitting there honestly and listening attentively.

After Jia Rui saw the memorial, he was trembling with anger. He originally thought that his eldest son was just enjoying beauty, but he didn't expect that he would be so angry.

Jia Rui's palace sedan quickly passed through the central axis along the palace wall and arrived in front of the Wenhua Hall on the other side of the palace.

By the time Jia Xuan found out that Jia Rui had come in, it was already too late to pick it up.

Among the two children, Jia An was well educated by her mother, well-founded, well-informed and courteous.

But Jia Xuan put her feet on the table, and there was a eunuch beside her, serving Jia Xuan tea and snacks. She didn't focus on studying at all.

Jia Rui just walked into the Wenhua Hall.

Photographed by Lao Hanlin, he was a prince who didn't dare to resist, but he almost fell ill after returning home, and he was threatened with resignation that night.

This memorial was delivered to Jia Rui in front of the court in the morning.

The young Hanlin who was lecturing above was also startled, took a step back, knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

The arrival of Jia Rui startled the palace maids and eunuchs outside the Wenhua Palace, and they quickly knelt on the ground.

On the contrary, the eldest prince Jia Xuan was so spoiled by the old queen that during class yesterday, she even slapped Chen Zhihao, the old Hanlin teacher, unscrupulously.

Jia Rui nodded gently, then asked the eunuch beside him to help Hanlin up, and then comforted him a few words.

Then Jia Rui announced that that was the end of today's class.

Hanlin was not a fool. When he saw that Jia Rui's tone was quite gentle, but his face was as dark as a black pot, he knew that the eldest prince was going to be in trouble. He didn't dare to be an eyesore here, so He quickly retreated. When the Hanlin bachelor exited, Jia Rui looked at Jia Xuan fiercely.

At this time, Jia Xuan was so frightened that she fell to her knees.

Jia Rui slowly walked up to Jia Xuan and raised his head with his feet.

At this time, Jia Xuan's face turned pale with fright, her eyes kept looking down, and she did not dare to look into Jia Rui's eyes.

Jia Rui smiled softly, and then said to Lao Li beside him: "The eunuch next to King Wu is useless and has not served his master well. Pull him out and kill him with a stick!"

Lao Li was actually worried. He had been with Jia Rui for a long time, and he rarely smiled like this on the surface, but in fact there was a fierce light in his eyes.

So Lao Li didn't dare to say anything at all. With a wave of his hand, several eunuchs behind him immediately stepped forward and grabbed the little eunuch kneeling next to King Wu and dragged him out.

"My lord, please beg me for mercy!"

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to do this anymore. Please spare me."

At this time, King Wu Jia Xuan lowered her head even lower and did not dare to say a word.

After a while, the little eunuch's voice disappeared, and at this time Jia Rui finally put his feet down, and then said to King Wu who was kneeling there:

"Why did you hit the teacher yesterday?"

Wu Wang Jia Xuan trembled and uttered a few words, but she could not say a complete sentence.

Jia Rui looked at it and shook his head gently, and then said to Lao Li on the side: "The King of Wu disrespects the teacher. He has been thinking about his past in front of the wall in Fengxian Hall for three days. No one is allowed to visit without my order."

After saying that, Jia Rui no longer looked at Wu King Jia Xuan, but walked in front of Jin King Jia An.

When the little guy saw Jia Rui coming over, he gave Jia Rui the courtesy of a king and a minister in a decent manner, "My dear King Jia An of the Jin Dynasty, I wish you long live my father, long live long live."

Listening to the cute child's voice and looking at his chubby little face, Jia Rui suddenly felt affection for him, picked up the little guy from the ground, patted his back and pressed his face against his, "Oh, my dear. Baby, have you been studying hard these days at school?"

"I studied hard and learned everything the master taught me. My mother asked me to recite it again in the evening, and I completed it carefully." The little guy proudly showed off to Jia Rui.

"Okay, okay, our little Prince Jin is really smart. Come on, let's go to your mother's place to have dinner together at noon today."

After saying that, he hugged Jia An and left the Wenhua Hall.

After Jia Rui left, Jia Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to stand up and go to eat with her mother Xue Baochai, but as soon as she walked out of the Wenhua Palace, she saw several eunuchs waiting for him.

Jia Xuan frowned and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, dog slave."

Several eunuchs said to Jia Xuan without changing their expressions: "According to the decree, King Wu Jia Xuan, please shut yourself up in the first hall and think about your mistakes."

After saying that, several eunuchs swarmed up, grabbed Jia Xuan, and dragged him straight to Fengxian Hall.

It didn't take long for everyone in the palace to know about it, especially the imperial concubines. Their expressions varied after hearing the news, but most of them were happy about Jia Xuan's misfortune.

And this incident also spread outside the palace. Many civil servants who originally supported Jia Xuan were disappointed with Jia Xuan's actions this time, especially when he beat the old Hanlin Chen Zhihao. This was simply a slap in the face of the civil servants. .
