My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 37 The Heart of Compassion
Seeing that he was being asked about this, Jia Yu suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, since you have asked about this, I will not hide it from you.

First of all, what I want to say is that the scholar title I obtained earlier is indeed true and there is no fraud.

You can send someone to investigate this, such as the examiner at the time, the academic administration at the time, and even the papers at the time.

Furthermore, although I was born in the twelfth room of the Jia family in Jinling, my family was poor since childhood.

After the death of their parents, the descendants were even more helpless, and in the end they had no choice but to sell their house and plan to come to Shenjing to join the Rongguo Mansion.

I would like to ask, what can I use to bribe the examiners and academic administrators?
Besides, are the examiners and academic administrators so easy to bribe? "

Hearing this, Feng Tang and Dai Quan also nodded secretly.

The feudal dynasty of China attached great importance to the imperial examinations unmatched by any other country in the world.

Any serious case in the examination room will result in a huge number of deaths, and the most minor case will be expelled from the imperial examination and sent to the frontier.
Of course, with the advancement of the times, these tortures were abolished and replaced by three drinks of fine wine. This is another story.

Faced with such a harsh punishment, the examiners and academic administrators were so smart that they would help a poor guy cheat.

Emperor Changping's expression remained serious, shaking the letter in his hand, "What about these, how do you explain them?"

Jia Yu replied: "This is because I went to Rongguo Mansion some time ago and wanted to find a job. I had a conflict with my disciple and was hit on the back of the head with a stick.

I lay in the inn for more than half a month and almost didn't make it through. After I recovered from the injury, my hand started to shake for no apparent reason every time I picked up a pen to write. This is what I wrote in the end. "

"you……"

Emperor Changping stopped talking. The solemn expression he originally looked at Jia Yu slowly softened, and finally turned into a sigh.

"It's really difficult for you."

In fact, just after Jia Yu's letter was delivered to Emperor Changping, the CRRC had already investigated all his past files, including all his examination papers for scholar examinations.

And this is why Emperor Changping was puzzled, how could a person's handwriting change so much in a few months.

If there were no ghosts and gods in this world, Emperor Changping would even wonder if this guy was possessed by another soul.

But the idea that was closest to the answer was rejected by him immediately.

Now that Jia Yu had given them the answer that was most acceptable to them, Emperor Changping's last doubts were gone.

Once all doubts are gone, the next step is to reward based on merit.

Emperor Changping looked at Jia Yu with a smile on his face for the first time: "Jia Yu, you have made great contributions to the court this time.

Merits will be rewarded and demerits will be punished. This is an iron law that never changes.

Now tell me, what reward do you want? "

"Haha...this is really interesting to say, as if you can really ask for anything."

Jia Yu secretly cursed in her heart, but she still said respectfully: "Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness. I dare not ask for reward. It is all up to your Majesty."

"Haha...you are quite naughty."

The corners of Emperor Changping's mouth curved upward even more.

At this time, Dai Quan, who was standing aside, noticed that the little eunuch beside him tugged on his sleeves, nodded, and walked quietly outside the hall.

"Eunuch, the empress is leading the female historian Jia Yuanchun outside to ask for an audience with Your Majesty." The little eunuch said in a low voice.

Dai Quan nodded and turned back, just in time to see the emperor holding a teacup and bowing his head in deep thought, apparently considering how to reward Jia Yu.

The more than 140 million taels of silver and more than 5000 taels of gold brought back by Jia Yu this time indeed solved the urgent need of Emperor Changping.

As the saying goes, there is no panic in the heart when there is food in hand, and the same is true for the emperor.As an emperor, there are simply too many things to worry about every day.

Whether it is local droughts or floods, palace maintenance, or even official salaries and rewards, money is indispensable.

If you don't have money, you won't be tough even if you are the emperor.

This is why Emperor Changping met with Jia Yu in an unusual way after he got the money back.

Otherwise, do you think the emperor is really that easy to meet? A ninth-grade team officer as big as a sesame seed or a mung bean is not qualified to meet him even if he waits another 100 years.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is outside with Jia Nu Shi and wants to see Your Majesty."

"Oh……"

Emperor Changping put down the tea cup and said, "Let them come in."

After a while, a beautiful woman in palace clothes walked over, followed by a young and beautiful woman. The two quickly walked around the screen and entered the imperial study.

Walk to the front and stand, and salute.

"The concubine has seen His Majesty!"

Although she was already thirty years old, the White Queen, who was becoming more plump and mature, bowed her head, her snow-white skin shining brightly under the sunlight.

"My servant Fengzao Palace Maid Shi Jia Yuanchun pays homage to your Majesty, long live my emperor!" The young and beautiful woman behind him also bowed to Emperor Changping.

"Be flat."

Emperor Changping stood up, walked to Queen Bai, took her hand and said: "Jia Yuanchun, you and the Queen are here at the right time.

I would like to introduce to you a young hero. This is the man who just led two hundred elites to Erlong Mountain overnight and wiped out all the bandits who disturbed Xue Yan a few days ago.

Later, evidence of collusion between Changping Prefecture guard Qi Jianhui and the Erlongshan bandits was discovered. After sending people to the capital overnight, he led his troops to Changping Prefecture and captured Qi Jianhui and his gang members in one fell swoop.

No, today we just escorted those bandits into Beijing.Moreover, 140 million taels of silver and more than 5000 taels of gold were seized from the Erlong Mountain bandit den and the garrison.

Now it has been sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

I don’t even know how to reward him for such a great contribution. "

After saying that, Emperor Changping gave a rare laugh. It was obvious that Emperor Changping was in a very happy mood at this time.

"Oh..." The White Queen looked at Jia Yu with some surprise. When she saw this handsome and heroic young man, an expression of appreciation appeared on her pretty face.

But Jia Yuanchun was different. She stared straight at Jia Yu with a pair of eyes that were particularly complicated. Although she suppressed the excitement in her heart, her beautiful eyes still turned red involuntarily.

Empress Bai, who noticed something strange about her, gently held her hand and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you, Yuanchun? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No."

Jia Yuanchun quickly wiped his eyes and bowed to her, "Mom, please don't be surprised. Since I entered the palace, I haven't seen any members of my family for ten years.

Therefore, when I first saw this clan brother, I couldn't help myself for a moment, and I hope your majesty and empress will forgive me. "

"Ten years."

Jia Yuanchun's words made the White Queen feel pity for a moment. She took Jia Yuanchun's slender hand and comforted her softly:

"I have forgotten this. You entered the palace at the age of 13, and it has indeed been ten years now. It's really hard for you."
