Chapter 580 Dai Quan Plays Xiaokang Emperor
God's Capital City.
At the feet of the emperor, the imperial capital Shenjing. Although Jia Huan was dismissed from his official position and was considered to be a free job at home, Emperor Xiaokang would never forget him.
Daming Palace, Shangshu.
On the dragon throne, Emperor Xiaokang couldn't help but sigh after reading the secret letters from various families.
Then he looked at the old god beside him, and Dai Quan, who seemed to be asleep, coughed lightly.
"Master, are you thirsty?"
Dai Quan immediately asked in a low voice.
Emperor Xiaokang shook his head, then looked at Dai Quan and asked, "Can you pass a letter with Jia Huan these days?"
Hearing this, Dai Quan shook his head, then saluted respectfully and said: "Return to the words of the master, since Jia Huan left his official position, he only sent his subordinates to send some gifts, but he did not ask about anything else."
Emperor Xiaokang frowned. He knew that Jia Huan did not take a serious official position in the sixth rank, so when he first took the official position in Jia Huan, he also had this consideration.
But so many days have passed, and news came from the Jia family, and there was no trace of his movements. Could it be that this time he went to work and really lost this guy's confidence?
"You have been with him for many years and are familiar with him. Do you know what the child Jia Huan is thinking? Are you really not planning to become an official in the court again, or is it just because the limelight was too tight some time ago, so you are ready to avoid it?" Emperor Xiaokang asked in a deep voice.
As soon as he heard this, Dai Quan understood what Emperor Xiaokang meant. During this period, there had been severe droughts in the northwest and north. If it continued for a while, it might cause disasters.
In addition, floods in the south have been ongoing, especially in the Yellow River Basin, which are even more disasters, and the food and wages on the nine borders are almost time to reach time, but there is not much silver in the treasury to support it.
Another thing is that there are indeed no outstanding ministers in the Ministry of Revenue to record so many accounts.
It is said that the country is in trouble to think of good ministers. Now Emperor Xiaokang is employed, so he really doesn't want to bury Jia Huan, a talent.
At this time, Dai Quan shook his head and said carefully: "I am stupid in my qualifications and I can't know what Jia Huan is thinking.
He had had too many contacts with his servants before, but because he had asked for help from him, he wanted to let him take care of the concubine Xian in the palace.
Now that Concubine Xian cut off contact with Ningguo Mansion, he almost never asked for a place for slaves. The reason why he sent some gifts was to maintain the connection with the slaves, and he was afraid that there would be a place for slaves to be useful in the future."
When Emperor Xiaokang heard this, he also felt that Dai Quan’s words made sense. Although he did not use people to face the front and back, Jia Huan did not have many places to talk to Dai Quan now.
"Oh, this child is hiding at home, but I am in a mess here. Now that he has left his official position and has only retained his title. I can't help it if I want to use him." Emperor Xiaokang sighed.
The great Emperor of Chu is the lord of a country. He wants to use people but can't use them. He really can't find a place to reason.
Below, Dai Quan was also thinking about this issue. At that time, half of the court's ministers collectively impeached him, forcing the emperor to dismiss Jia Huan's official position. Otherwise, at most one or two years, he would have waited for Jia Huan to overdo it and then let Zhang Jizhong and He Zhi go to the position, but he would have thought that such a thing would happen.
Now that Jia Huan has lost his official position, he is like a wild horse that has broken away from his reins, and is not controlled by others at all. It is probably a bit difficult to come back and do things.
On the dragon throne, Emperor Xiaokang saw Dai Quan not speaking, and knew that he had no idea, so he continued to read the memorial.
Suddenly, Emperor Xiaokang's eyes shrank, and he was furious. He slapped the sect on the table and said angrily: "Damn, the thieves of the White Lotus Sect are so rampant that they dare to set up traps for the Royal Secret Guards and Shadow Guards!"
Dai Quan looked at Emperor Xiaokang's angry expression and asked carefully: "Master, has something happened in Jiangnan?"
Gu Jin
Emperor Xiaokang glanced at Dai Quan and threw the memorial in his hand to the ground.
Seeing this, Dai Quan hurried forward, picked it up and looked at it, and was immediately scared to death and his face turned pale.
"Master, the White Lotus Sect's rebels are too rampant. Such a blatant confrontation with the court is enough to show their ambitions!"
The White Lotus Sect has always been a confidant of the court. The Royal Secret Guards and Shadow Guards lurked in Jiangnan for many years, and each time they only got some clues. As soon as they were about to attack, the other party hid without a trace.
Just like a hedgehog, he has no idea how to get a mouth, but every action will bring disaster to the court.
"Of course I know, but Zhang Chongming (ethnic Zhang, the actual controller of the Royal Secret Guard Shadow Guard) has fought with him for many years and has almost no advantage. This time he has lost a lot of people.
If I continue like this, I don’t know when I will be able to eradicate the traitors of the White Lotus Sect!”
Emperor Xiaokang was extremely angry. How many years have you been? The White Lotus Sect is still active in the Jiangnan area and cannot be wiped out at all. Now it has formed a trend of being too big to lose. It is really abominable.
On the side, Dai Quan gently placed the memorial in front of Emperor Xiaokang, and was silent for a moment. He said softly: "Master, why don't you change someone to deal with these traitors?"
"Um?"
Emperor Xiaokang was stunned for a moment, and then he understood who Dai Quan was talking about.
After pondering for a while, Emperor Xiaokang nodded in agreement and said, "Are you saying that Jia Huan will replace Zhang Chongming?"
"Master Master, wise, I am thinking that since Jia Huan cannot use it for Master, it is too wasteful to keep putting such a talent as him. It is better to let Jia Huan play a role.
Another, the master also knew that Jia Huan had a good power in his hand, and was a person who was assassinating and inquiring about information. If he was asked to deal with the mice in the gutters of the White Lotus Sect, it would probably have miraculous effects." Dai Quan said with a smile.
After hearing this explanation, Emperor Xiaokang also thought about the feasibility of this matter in his mind.
After a while, he nodded and said, "Jia Huan is a good candidate. His mind, wisdom and scheming are enough. If he takes action, he will definitely give some color to the traitors of the White Lotus Sect.
However, this means that Jia Huan will become a lonely minister like Chen Beiqing in the future. With his intelligence, he will not be unable to see clearly the power of this.
In addition, to deal with the rebels of the White Lotus Sect, Jia Huan must be exposed to the royal secret guards and shadow guards. Before I fully control him, the risk may be too high."
On the side, Dai Quan also understood Emperor Xiaokang's concerns. However, he was the old man who had been with Emperor Xiaokang for many years and immediately said with a smile: "Of course I understand the concerns of my master, but I have something to say, and I don't know whether to say it or not?"
"explain!"
Emperor Xiaokang was too lazy to rush.
"Master, I think it is impossible for Jia Huan to take over the royal secret guard Shadow Guard.
However, with Eunuch Zhang in Jiangnan, and with him suppressing him, Jia Huan dared not do anything randomly. In addition, you only need to ask Eunuch Zhang to cooperate with Jia Huan's actions, and there is no need to let him enter the Royal Shadow Guard and the Secret Guard.
Last but not least, the old lady Shi of Rongguo Mansion has not had much time now. Even if he is asked to go to Jiangnan now, he will probably not have to come back soon.
It would be better to wait until the funeral of Mrs. Shi is over before letting her go to Jiangnan. At that time, Jia Huan will be the one who will serve you, Master." Dai Quan said with a smile, without any burden on his heart.
"Yes, you old guy has made a good suggestion. However, before using him to destroy the White Lotus Sect, you can let him do some tricks in the Zhen family in Jiangnan, just so that I can see if he can really take on a great responsibility!" Emperor Xiaokang said with a smile.
"Master, Master, Shengming."
