My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 53

Jia Yu left the palace a little glumly, still mumbling.

"Your Majesty, this is so unreasonable. Why would you choose someone else's cousin name without my consent? Is there any royal law for this?"

Dai Quan, who was walking aside, looked at the guy who had been walking all the way to Versailles with twitching eyes. What kind of luck did this kid have to have to let His Majesty choose his cousin name for him?

But this kid still looked unhappy, which really made people want to beat him.

Dai Quan sent him to the Huangji Gate, and then whispered to him: "Master Jia, His Majesty has been very kind to you, you must not let down His Majesty's love for you.

It should be noted that in more than ten years of imperial service, His Majesty has never given a name to anyone other than the royal children. What happened today is unprecedented. "

Jia Yu grinned and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Dai, Yu is not an ungrateful person.

Your Majesty is well aware of your great love for your ministers. I should work diligently and do my best for Daxia to repay Your Majesty's sage kindness. "

After saying that, Jia Yu touched something with warm and cool tentacles in her arms.

It was the Hetian jade paperweight that Emperor Changping smashed at him just now, but he took advantage of it.

I couldn't help but feel happy, this thing should be worth a lot of money.

He thought for a moment, took out two ingots of gold from his sleeves, quickly stuffed them into Dai Quan's hands and whispered.

"I will come back to the palace in the future and have a lot of contact with my father-in-law. I hope that my father-in-law can take more care of me."

Who is Dai Quan? As soon as he got the thing, he knew that it was only two ingots of silver, and it was only two taels at best.

Although his face did not change color, he was already sneering secretly in his heart.

I just kindly reminded you, are you using this money to bribe cadres?

He nodded with a smile on his face, "Mr. Jia, you're welcome, we should do our best."

After Jia Yu left, Dai Quan took out two ingots in displeasure, but when he saw the ingots in his hands, his original indifferent expression suddenly changed.

As the general manager of the Daming Palace, Dai Quan has seen more than a thousand treasures over the years.

He had seen too many gold ingots and silver ingots that the royal family used to reward royal children and meritorious officials. It could be said that no matter how many treasures there were, it would be difficult to surprise him.

But this was the first time he had seen such an exquisitely crafted ingot like the one in his hand.

He tried putting a gold ingot into his mouth and bit it, then looked down and saw two teeth marks clearly visible.

Seeing this, he was amazed.

Silver ingots are not uncommon, but this is the first time he has seen something with such high purity and exquisite workmanship like the two in his hand.

The unhappy mood in Shicai's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.

If you bribe a person with Dai Quan's status with a mere two taels of silver, you are not flattering him, but humiliating him.

But once these two gadgets transform into exquisitely crafted crafts, the meaning is different.

what is this?
This is art, something given to each other among literati and refined scholars.

Even if others find out, he can still respond confidently. Have you ever seen someone bribe an internal minister with only two taels of silver?
Who do you look down on?
When Dai Quan returned to the imperial study, Emperor Changping was wearing glasses and immersed in reviewing memorials.

Dai Quan has been following Emperor Changping for more than 30 years and knows Emperor Changping better than anyone else.

Although Emperor Changping's demeanor at this time was no different from usual, Dai Quan was keenly aware that the ring finger of Emperor Changping's left hand tapped the table from time to time. According to his experience, Emperor Changping should still be in a good mood at this time. of.

In a happy mood, Emperor Changping reviewed the memorials much faster.

After he finished reviewing the last memorial, he took off his reading glasses and placed them on the table, letting out a long breath.

Dai Quan promptly took a new Gu tea from the tray held by the young eunuch and placed it on the table.

After Emperor Changping picked up the tea and took a sip, he asked softly: "Your Majesty, is the thing Jia Yu gave me useful?"

Emperor Changping nodded with satisfaction, "It's really good. Wearing this... this..." "Reading glasses." Dai Quan added at the side.

"Yes...reading glasses."

A faint smile appeared on Emperor Changping's face, "As soon as I put on these reading glasses, I instantly felt that everything in front of me was much clearer.

Reviewing memorials is also much easier. This Jia Yu... although he is a dazed young man, he always brings me some surprises. "

"The emperor is holy."

Dai Quan smiled apologetically: "Although Mr. Jia is young and a little reckless in his actions, his loyalty to His Majesty is rare."

"Ok!"

Emperor Changping nodded, and suddenly seemed to think of something. He placed the tea cup on the dragon table and looked at him with a half-smile.

"Dai Quan, you old guy, I rarely see you say nice things for others. Why is the sun rising in the west today? Could it be that that boy Jia Yu gave you some benefit?"

Dai Quan quickly knelt on the ground and cried out to Qu Lai: "Your Majesty has unjustly sentenced this old slave to death. Master Jia did give me some benefits when he left just now.

But it was only two small ingots. The old slave thought that it was only two taels of silver, so he accepted it. He had no intention of accepting bribes. "

"Two taels of silver?"

Emperor Changping's tone was cold, "Dai Quan, do you think I'm a fool?
I don't believe that Jia Yu will honestly send all the money seized in Erlong Mountain and Changping Mansion into the inner treasury.

He made so much money, and only used two taels of silver to send you, the manager of the Daming Palace, are you kidding me? "

Jia Yu would be shocked if he decided to come here. He originally thought that he had embezzled tens of thousands of taels of silver without anyone noticing, but Emperor Changping seemed to have witnessed it with his own eyes and knew that he must have made a lot of money from it. .

As everyone knows, although Emperor Changping didn't know how he squandered the money, he was much more familiar with the officialdom than he was.

From ancient times to the present, whenever money passes through the hands of officials, it will always get stuck.

Jia Yu is not a saint, and of course he is not exempt from vulgarity.

Although Emperor Changping has no evidence, there are many things in this world that do not require evidence.

"I am determined not to deceive you. If you don't believe me, I will show it to you."

Dai Quan quickly took out two ingots of gold ingots from his sleeves and raised them high above his head.

"what!"

When Emperor Changping saw the ingot in Dai Quan's hand, he stood up curiously and picked up two ingots of ingot to examine them.

Looking at the clear and snow-white color, pattern and exquisite workmanship of the two ingots, Emperor Changping couldn't help but marvel.

"I didn't expect Jia Yu to have such a good treasure and be willing to give it to you. No wonder you said good things for him."

"Your Majesty." Dai Quan felt aggrieved and wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Emperor Changping.

"Okay, it's just two taels of silver, so I won't talk about you anymore.

But as the old saying goes, you get half the money you meet.

I will take one of these two ingots of silver and give it back to you. "

After Emperor Changping finished speaking, he placed the ingot with two teeth marks on the table, put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked out of the imperial study.

Dai Quan also stood up quickly, grabbed the ingot on the table and followed.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?"

"Feng Zao Palace."

"Hurry up... Your Majesty shows up at Fengzao Palace..."
