Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 65 Conversation
  Emperor Jingwen's intelligence agency is not as good as the intelligence agency controlled by the Supreme Emperor. This is normal. The resources possessed by the two sides are not equal.

The Supreme Emperor controls Daqian's finances and has absolute power. The intelligence agency he supports can be regarded as Daqian's official intelligence agency.

As for Emperor Jingwen's intelligence agency, he managed to build it with a small amount of silver and his own little influence.

"The White Lotus Sect suffered heavy losses this time. The bodies of four Ming Kings were found at the scene. The remaining assassins were mostly well-known powerful men in the world!" the Supreme Emperor said in a deep voice.

"With so much energy, the White Lotus Sect can march straight into the palace and attack the East Palace?" Emperor Jingwen asked with a sneer.

Emperor Jingwen did not feel better because of this extensive investigation, but became even more dissatisfied.

Because in this investigation, there is no information about the people behind the White Lotus Sect.

Perhaps this is because the time is too short, but the Aether Emperor's intelligence ability means that he will know some information to some extent, and it is impossible for him to have no information at all.

This time is not a small move. It is not difficult to find the loopholes in such a large-scale operation.

"The investigation has just begun, but for these assassins whose identities have been investigated, I have already ordered the local government agencies to start arresting the assassins. If anyone dares to challenge the royal majesty, we must be prepared to confiscate their homes and destroy their clans!" The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and said.

Perhaps some of these assassins were coerced by the White Lotus Sect, but as long as they committed regicide, they should consider the consequences.

The Supreme Emperor has expressed his stance and will continue to investigate. Emperor Jingwen has no choice but to endure it. Emperor Jingwen has been accustomed to forbearance over the years.

"I have to prove some things, and there will definitely be a result this time!" the Supreme Emperor said in a more serious tone.

"Thank you, Father!" Emperor Jingwen's face brightened slightly as he finally heard the Supreme Emperor's assurance.

"I also know that there are almost no guards and eunuchs in the East Palace. I have decided to set up a ninth guard in the capital camp. You will be responsible for recruiting and controlling this guard!" The Supreme Emperor pondered for a moment and then said.

When Emperor Jingwen heard these words from the Supreme Emperor, even though he had tempered his state of mind over many years, his heartbeat could not help but speed up at this moment.

One guard is five thousand people. Although five thousand sergeants are few, this is the first time he has truly controlled the army. This meaning is very different.

As long as this guard is established, all the ministers in the court can see that the Supreme Emperor has delegated power to him. This is an extremely important thing. It can change the minds of many ministers and make more ministers recognize him.

The most important thing is that with the first guard sergeant in hand, he no longer has to worry about assassination.

"Don't be too happy too early. This is actually a trial. You are not allowed to withdraw silver from the treasury. The recruitment of the ninth guard is completely established by you. I will give you three years to test the strength of this guard. Result!" The Supreme Emperor shook his head and said calmly.

Emperor Jingwen felt a chill in his heart. The establishment of a guard required a huge amount of money from the beginning of recruitment. From then on, whether it was equipment or training, money would continue to be consumed.

As an emperor, he has extremely limited money. With his current financial resources, he cannot support the expenses of recruiting a guard.

"I will not disappoint my father!" Emperor Jingwen would not miss this opportunity, he bowed and promised.

"What else is there?" The Supreme Emperor asked lightly, which meant that Emperor Jingwen should leave.

"Father, I would like to invite Jia Qiang to be granted the title of second-class general and commander of the ninth guard of the Jingying camp!" Emperor Jingwen did not leave immediately, he bowed and said.

The Supreme Emperor knew about Jia Qiang's bravery, and he was also considering how to reward Jia Qiang.

Different from Emperor Jingwen's impromptu decision, he had always been prepared for Jia Qiang's reward. Even if Jia Qiang did not come to his rescue this time, he would give her a suitable title and official position when she came of age.

Emperor Jingwen's proposal to lead the ninth guard of the Beijing camp was a coincidence.

The original Beijing camp was divided into eight guards, and each two guards had a commander of the third grade. However, Emperor Jingwen made the ninth guard led by a commander of the third grade.

"Jia Qiang is still too young, and it is too early to give him a real job!" The Supreme Emperor shook his head and objected. He thought for a while and then said: "But great contributions cannot go without reward. Let's give him a first-class viscount first. I still have use for Jia Qiang." !”

Emperor Jingwen was shocked. He heard that the Supreme Emperor had thoughts about Jia Qiang. Jia Qiang was a talent he had discovered and cultivated. How could she be handed over to the Supreme Emperor?

Today's Emperor Jingwen has too few men. He is suppressed and suppressed. The general Miao Zi who was beside him was also wiped out by this assassination.

Looking at the reward that the Supreme Emperor planned to give to Jia Qiang, the title was one level higher than that of Emperor Jingwen. The second-class general given by Emperor Jingwen was a second-class general. This was because he considered that if he was too high, he would be rejected by the Supreme Emperor, but he did not expect that the Supreme Emperor would give him a higher one.

First Class Viscount is a first-class title, and it is only one step away from the super-grade title. If Jia Qiang makes another great contribution, he will definitely enter the super-grade title.

"I obey my father's decision, and I will issue the decree to reward Jia Qiang to show my gratitude to Jia Qiang for saving her life!" Emperor Jingwen bowed helplessly and begged.

"Since you have this intention, just do what you want!" The Supreme Emperor waved his hand indifferently and said.

Emperor Jingwen felt much better. He bowed and left the Daming Palace.

The Supreme Emperor looked at Emperor Jingwen's leaving figure, with an unexplainable meaning flashing in his eyes.

Emperor Jingwen left Daming Palace worriedly and saw Jia Qiang in front of the East Palace Gate.

Jia Qiang's two-year rescue effort was remembered by the Supreme Emperor. Fortunately, during the two years, the Supreme Emperor seemed to have forgotten about Jia Qiang and did not ask about Jia Qiang's affairs again.

But this time Jia Qiang killed more than 300 assassins by herself, and her strength once again amazed the world, and seemed to remind the Supreme Emperor of Jia Qiang again.

How to keep Jia Qiang was the first thing Emperor Jingwen considered.

An idea arose in Emperor Jingwen's mind, and soon this idea formed a plan.

"Jia Aiqing, come in with me!" Emperor Jingwen greeted Jia Qiang.

Emperor Jingwen did not have the airs of an emperor, and this time he really trained Jia Qiang as a confidant. This was also the emperor's method of winning people's hearts.

Jia Qiang followed the order and entered the palace, and Emperor Jingwen sat on the Arhat bed.

"Shou Zhong, show Jia Aiqing your seat!" Emperor Jing Wen ordered Xia Shouzhong.

This is another honor, and only a few military and political ministers in the palace have this qualification.

Jia Qiang didn't understand what Emperor Jingwen was planning to do. Fortunately, he learned the relevant sitting postures when he entered the palace to take charge, so he didn't make any jokes in front of Emperor Jingwen.

"Jia Aiqing, I know that you have a desire to learn and follow literature, and I am going to point you to a master. What do you think?" Emperor Jingwen asked with a smile.

"I thank you, Your Majesty!" Jia Qiang quickly stood up from the stool and bowed to thank you.

"Sit down. In fact, the master I pointed out to you also has some selfish motives and wants to give Jia Aiqing a task!" Emperor Jingwen said calmly.

Jia Qiang sat back on the stool, waiting for Emperor Jingwen's next words.

"The master I pointed out to you is Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai is currently serving as the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor. He was Tanhua at the time!" Emperor Jingwen introduced with a smile.

Jia Qiang knew that Lin Ruhai was Lin Daiyu's father. She did not expect that Emperor Jingwen would refer to Lin Ruhai as his teacher.

As for whether Lin Ruhai is willing or not, there is no need to consider it. Emperor Jingwen will give the order, and Lin Ruhai will definitely comply.

Besides, since Emperor Jingwen mentioned Lin Ruhai, it is very likely that Lin Ruhai was Emperor Jingwen's person.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?" Jia Qiang wanted to stand up, but was suppressed by Emperor Jingwen's hand. He sat down and asked.

"I want you to go to Yangzhou to take charge of the salt affairs in the south of the Yangtze River. You have the gold medal given by me and the beads given by the Supreme Emperor. I will also give you the status of imperial envoy and a Shangfang sword. You can have the right to kill first and then report after the fifth rank. If he is ranked fifth or above, he will be escorted back to the capital!" Emperor Jingwen said the purpose in a deep voice.

Jia Qiang was inexplicably horrified. His status as an imperial envoy seemed very high, but how could he not know about Emperor Jingwen's difficulties in the past two years.

There were very few things that Emperor Jingwen could decide on in the court, and the Supreme Emperor had to take charge of all major affairs in the court.

It's hard to tell the quality of the Shangfang sword given by Emperor Jingwen. In addition, Emperor Jingwen also proposed the hand beads given by the Supreme Emperor. Jia Qiang had to make Jia Qiang guess whether Emperor Jingwen wanted to use the Supreme Emperor's tiger power to fake the tiger's power.
