Chapter 619

The magistrate Jiang made a great contribution this time, and the news has already spread throughout the capital.

So, as soon as he returned to the capital, people from the Zhang family, the empress's mother's family, came to pick him up in person, and led him and his brother-in-law's family to live in Zhang's house.

After seeing the emperor this time, the two returned to the Zhang family swaggeringly.When they heard about their treatment in the palace, the whole Zhang family treated them even more courteously, even the father of the current empress said a few words to them in a pleasant manner.

In the days that followed, the Zhang family never forgot to take them out with them every time they went out, helping them make friends with the powerful in the capital, and introducing them to the powerful by the way.

Where have these two people experienced such a scene before?Now they are in the center of the Sun-Moon Dynasty, and they are still surrounded by many dignitaries who are surrounded by stars. They can't finish seeing all the smiling faces, and they are tired of listening to flattering words. Their feet are swaying, People are going to fly to the sky!

Even, Mr. Zhang told them: "In two days, when the grand court meeting is held, the emperor will definitely praise you in public again. At that time, you will really show your face!"

As the day of the Great Court Assembly approached day by day, these two people were so excited that they almost couldn't sleep.

Seeing that the Great Court will finally come.Early this morning, the two of them bathed and changed their clothes, shaved their beards and trimmed their eyebrows, and made their faces clean and tidy. Yao Zhixian also applied a thick layer of powder on his face, so that his complexion looked fairer and more beautiful.The two of them changed into newly made clothes, and then went to the palace with the men of the Zhang family.

The Grand Court Meeting, as the name suggests, is a court meeting that all high-ranking courtiers in the capital must participate in.On this day, the hall was so crowded that it was almost impossible to stand.

Jiang Zhifu and Yao Zhixian were not officials in the capital, so they waited in the outer hall from the beginning, and they could only go to the hall when the emperor summoned them.

According to Mr. Zhang, they had to wait outside for several hours.Unexpectedly, only half an hour after the start of the Grand Court Meeting, a eunuch hurried over: "Jiang Zhifu, Yao County, the emperor summons, you two, hurry up and go with this old slave!"

so fast?
That is to say, the emperor is very satisfied with their achievements, and can't wait to praise them in public?
The two looked at each other, and they both saw excitement and pride in each other's eyes.

They got up quickly and followed the eunuch into the court hall.

The court was full of people.When they walked in, they found countless pairs of eyes staring at them in unison. There were envy and jealousy in those eyes, and they were so excited that they almost couldn't help but dance to a song!
Look, look, now you can only look at us.Who told you people to know how to sing and dance in the capital every day? Do you know that your peace here is given by us!Do you know how hard our life at the border is?With this achievement now, we will be famous all over the world in the future, and we will definitely be famous in history.From now on, we can stand on top of them and look down on the common people!These are all what we deserve, so please watch carefully!
The two of them thought triumphantly, and they walked to the front with soft steps.

"My minister has met the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"The two lovers are free of courtesy and flat." The emperor sitting on the dragon chair raised his hand and said in a deep voice.

This voice, this momentum, was a bit more majestic than when they were in the imperial study, but it also made the two of them feel even more elated.

That's right, the emperor should be like this at this time!Hard, majestic, not close to gods and ghosts.In this way, the rewards he bestows on them in public are the best!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two shouted in unison, slowly getting up.

The emperor above glanced at them, and then slowly said: "At the end of last year, I ordered someone to recite a letter to the people at the Great Court Assembly, and it was written by the current prefect of Qinzhou. Do you still have an impression, Qing?"

Yes, yes, of course!

Someone in the Sun Moon Dynasty planted a life-saving grain again. Who can forget such a big event?What's more, the person who delivered the memorial has now arrived in the capital, and has been wandering around these days, and now almost all the people in the court know him.

Everyone nodded quickly, and praised the two prefects Jiang.

Jiang Zhifu and Yao Zhixian were smiling all over their faces, holding their heads high, as if they stood out from the crowd.

The emperor quietly listened to their praise.When the voice at the end subsided, he said again: "Jiang Aiqing, Yao Aiqing, since you have all come, let's tell the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty again in public how you planted this potato!"

"Yes, my minister obeys!" Jiang Zhifu nodded quickly, but made a show of flirting with his brother-in-law, motioning him to speak.

This was an opportunity for him to perform in public, Yao Zhixian knew it well, he hurriedly stepped forward, and loudly repeated what he said in front of the emperor a few days ago.

After the civil and military officials finished listening, they were naturally full of praise.

Someone even suggested: "Your Majesty, Lord Jiang and Lord Yao are dedicated to serving the country, and now they have made great contributions. The imperial court must reward them heavily!"

This person is naturally one of the people who has a close relationship with the two people in Jiang Zhifu and Yao Zhixian these days.

Jiang Zhifu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no! The reason why we did this is to let our Sun Moon Dynasty continue to grow and grow, and to deter foreign enemies. As long as we can achieve our wishes, we will be satisfied, and we don't have extravagant expectations at all. !"

"How can I do that? How can you justify it without rewarding you for such a great contribution? It should be noted that decades ago, the wife of the Great General Zhenxi researched a variety of wheat, and Emperor Taizong directly named the Great General Zhenxi the King of Zhenxi!"

Sure enough, someone found out what happened to Li Erzu.

The echoes continued from below.

The emperor above still looked calm.When the voice at the bottom became quieter again, he slowly opened his mouth again: "My dear friends are right. Planting earthen taro is a great achievement and must be rewarded heavily. However, before the heavy reward, I still have a share here. Things, dear friends, you might as well listen to this first before making a judgment."

What does this mean?
The emperor's words made many people's hearts skip a beat.Especially the people who jumped up and down to help Jiang Zhifu and the two people to ask for credit and rewards were all excited, and a coldness flooded from behind inexplicably.

After the emperor's words fell, the eunuch at the side had already unfolded a piece of paper, and began to read in a high-pitched voice: "I, Su Quan, from Liangjiang. I studied hard for ten years and was admitted to the imperial examination three years ago. Fortunately, the imperial court Qingyan was able to go to Qin'an County as the county magistrate. However, because he was young and lonely, he is now an official, but he is extravagant and lustful, unable to extricate himself. Seeing that the county magistrate in Qingshui got taro, he sent people to steal two baskets of taro and plant them privately. Competing with Yaozhi County in Qingshui County for credit. Now that Dongchuang incident happened, Su Quan pleaded guilty and is willing to obey the law."

The eunuch's voice spread over the hall, causing the atmosphere in the hall to suddenly drop to freezing point.

Suddenly hearing the eunuch read out the confession in public, Jiang Zhifu and Yao Zhixian were both shocked.But immediately they thought: This is because the emperor was very angry with Su Quan's actions, so he planned to punish him in public?
That's really good!
Speaking of which, there must be a minister from the Ministry of Officials here to help.Originally thought that it would be enough for him to save face by helping him deal with Su Quan quietly, but he didn't expect him to be so enthusiastic, and even told the emperor about it, asking the emperor to help them out in public!
Although it was a little timid at first.But right away, they became even more proud - as long as Su Quan was convicted in public, he would be dead, and no one could expect to reverse the case in the future!
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials really deserves to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, this method is really vicious!

Both of them cast grateful glances at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

As a result, who would have thought that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials would not even look at them.He stood there straight, looking straight at the emperor above, as if he didn't see them at all!
The two were unhappy.

Just pretend, I'll see how long you can pretend!They whispered in their hearts.

It's just that slowly they began to find that the development of things was more and more beyond their imagination.

After the eunuch finished reading the confession, a courtier immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, I think there is something wrong with this case, so please send it back for retrial!"

"Yes, there is definitely something wrong with this case. Mr. Su, he can't do such a thing!"

Master Su, Master Su...how come everyone here knows Master Su?open
Jiang Zhifu and Yao Zhixian seemed to be poured a bucket of cold water, and they suddenly seemed to be in an ice cellar.

What's the matter?What's going on?They looked around, only to find that the civil and military officials who had been very enthusiastic about them just now had all faded away and avoided their sight—this was a sign to draw a clear line with them.

What the hell happened?They were at a loss, and in the end they could only turn their attention to the Zhang family who had been reminding them these days and leading them around to make friends with dignitaries.

The relationship between my family and these two people is unbroken, Master Zhang can't avoid it even if he wants to.

Helpless, he could only take a step forward: "Your Majesty, if you dare to ask Su Quan, the county magistrate of Qin'an County, is he Su Quan, the brother of Princess Zhenxi and the brother of General Mighty?"
