The emperor also felt a little tired after awarding the meritorious officials. He was very excited today. Now he felt like stars were starting to pop up in his eyes. If he didn't rest, he might faint again.

So the emperor endured the discomfort and said to Dai Quan next to him: "Ask them if there is anything else. If nothing happens, let's dismiss the court."

Dai Quan walked a few steps to the front of the imperial steps and shouted to the ministers below: "If you have one, you will play early, but if you don't, you will leave the court."

Among the ministers in the palace, except for a few people such as Jia Ke, the others were all frightened out of their wits. They couldn't think of anything to do, so they all knelt there in silence.

Only Jia Ke knelt a few steps forward and said, "My lord, Jia Ke has a memorial."

The emperor sitting on the throne heard that it was Jia Ke and asked with a gentle expression: "Jia Aiqing, if you have anything to do, just report it."

Jia Ke knelt on the ground, raised his hands and said, "Long live Qi Cun, how many days has the martial law been in effect in the capital? People's lives are very inconvenient, should the martial law be lifted?"

The emperor thought for a while, and during this period of time, all the rebellious ministers had been imprisoned. Even if there were one or two fish that slipped through the net, without these principals, they would not be able to make any trouble.

So the emperor said to Jia Ke: "Since the people's lives have not changed, the martial law will be lifted from today on, and the troops will return to the barracks, and stop harassing the people."

Jia Ke knelt down and raised his hands and said, "I respect your decree."

But Jia Ke did not stand up after finishing speaking. Instead, he once again raised his hands and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the emperor issued an order a few days ago to protect the residences of the princes and ministers. I don't know whether to continue to protect them or to have the army withdraw to the barracks.

"

After listening to Jia Ke's euphemism about his imperial edict from the past few days, the emperor raised his head and looked at the ministers below him, and then asked: "Don't sugarcoat the peace for me. What happened to the princes these days? Nothing happened.

What's the trouble?"

Jia Ke quickly reported back: "All the princes are studying peacefully in the mansion, and no one has caused any trouble."

"Don't cover it up for them. I heard that the second prince made a scene in front of the palace. If it weren't for my will, would he kill the soldiers?" The emperor asked Jia Ke politely, what did he think about this matter?

I also heard from Dai Quan that his wariness towards the prince has reached an all-time high. The emperor believed that the reason why the second prince was so arrogant was because the prince was about to be deposed. The second prince thought that with his status, he would soon be deposed.

He will become the new prince.

Jia Ke knelt there and could only say: "Long live Qi Zhen, it's not that serious. Maybe the second prince saw soldiers surrounding his mansion, so he came out to take a look."

After hearing what Jia Ke said, the emperor shook his head and said, "Jia Aiqing, you don't have to listen to his cover-up. According to my decree, the second prince studied behind closed doors for three months. Without my decree, he is not allowed to step out of the house."

Jia Ke didn't want to intercede for the second prince, but the second prince didn't make any big mistakes now. He couldn't make a deadly feud with the second prince because of such a trivial matter.

Then there really were no ministers to report, so the emperor quickly dismissed the court and returned to the harem with the support of Dai Quan.

After the court was over, some were happy and some were worried. Jia Ke was now very proud. Pan Yong came up to talk to Jia Ke. Jia Ke left quickly without waiting for him to speak. Regardless of Pan Yong's embarrassed expression behind him, Jia Ke

The reason why Ke ignored him was because they were both ministers of military aircraft. If they got too close, the emperor might become suspicious. It would be better for the two sides to have some conflicts and the emperor would feel at ease.

Wang Ziteng saw all this clearly. He took a few steps forward and followed Jia Ke. Jia Ke noticed Wang Ziteng beside him and hurriedly greeted him, and then left the palace with Wang Ziteng, chatting as they walked.

"My dear nephew, you are also the Minister of Military and Aircraft now. Why didn't you chat with Mr. Pan Yong just now? We can get closer to each other so that we can handle official business in the future." Wang Ziteng was a little puzzled by Jia Ke's attitude.

Jia Ke shook his head and said to Wang Ziteng: "It is precisely because I am the Minister of Military and Aircraft that I cannot get too close to him."

"My dear nephew, you are too careful. Both of you are the emperor's confidants. The emperor will definitely be happy if you two get closer. There are so many taboos."

Jia Ke disagreed with Wang Ziteng's view, "Uncle, I thought wrong. Now we are all military ministers with high authority. What will the emperor think if we get too close? Isn't the emperor suspicious? I think it's better to be careful."

With that said, everyone arrived at the gate of the palace. Jia Ke said goodbye to Wang Ziteng and rode back to Rongguo Mansion.

When he returned to Rongguo Mansion, Lin Zhixiao was already waiting at the door. When Jia Ke saw him, he knew that it was Jia Zheng who ordered him again. It seemed that Jia Zheng was very concerned about the changes in the government during this period and seemed to be interested.

A thought that moves.

However, in Jia Ke's view, Jia Zheng will never have a chance to be promoted from now on. No matter what the reason is, it is impossible for the emperor to let Jia Ke and Jia Zheng and his son both hold high positions.

"Uncle, you are back. The old lady and the master have been waiting for you for a long time. They asked me to watch at the door several times." Lin Zhixiao spoke respectfully to Jia Ke, while holding the reins of the horse and helping him off the horse.

Jia Ke handed the horse to him and entered Rongguo Mansion through the side door. As he walked, he asked him: "Where are the old lady and the master waiting for me? Is it in the old lady's yard?"

"My uncle's guess is right, it's in the old lady's courtyard." Lin Zhixiao said flatteringly.

"You are becoming more and more glib now. After working as a housekeeper for several years, you are increasingly returning home. Come to my study later and I have something to tell you." Jia Ke walked forward and talked to him.

"Uncle, you can go see the master and the old lady first. I will go to your study in a moment. If you have any instructions, just tell me. Is there a time when you are worried about me doing something?"

Jia Ke turned around and looked at him carefully, and then said jokingly: "I don't think you look like Lin Zhixiao. Why do you seem to be a different person?"

After hearing what he said, Lin Zhixiao said awkwardly: "Uncle, don't make fun of me. If I don't learn to be sweeter, why am I hanging around with the housekeepers of these aristocratic families in this capital? I can't change this change."

.Who made our family have to act based on other people’s faces in the past? If I don’t humble myself, why should I let the masters gossip with others?”

When Jia Ke heard what he said, he also understood the previous status of the Jia family in the capital. Although he had been promoted to Jiedushi at that time, in the eyes of the great masters, they did not take a military attache from other places seriously.

Thinking of this, Jia Ke stopped and said seriously to Lin Zhixiao: "From now on, you must not be like this. From now on, only others will please us, and there is no reason for us to please others. You must know that the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, you will

It’s equivalent to a sixth- or seventh-grade official.”

Lin Zhixiao is such a shrewd man. You don't understand what Jia Ke said. It must be the reward given to Jia Ke by the emperor today, and this reward is not trivial. Otherwise, Jia Ke would not have said that he was a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.

if.

Lin Zhixiao felt confident at this time, and immediately laughed out loud and opened his eyes. The Jia family will become prosperous in the future, and they, who are slaves, will also be able to benefit from it.

The two of them entered Jia Mu's courtyard just talking and laughing. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Jia Mu's personal maid Yuanyang, standing in the courtyard waiting. When Jia Ke came back, he hurried over to salute Jia Ke. After the ceremony,

After that, he went to open the door curtain for Jia Ke himself and shouted into the room: "Old lady, the uncle is back."

Jia Ke entered Jia Mu's main room and walked to the living room next to it. This time he saw that there were many people here. Almost everyone in Jia's family who could talk was here, even Jia Zhu and Jia Lian were there.

Serve.

Jia Ke followed the old rules when he entered the room. He first saluted Jia Mu, then Jia Zheng and Jia She, and finally Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing. It took a lot of effort for Jia Ke to complete this circle of salutes. But

However, etiquette cannot be messed up. In ancient times, etiquette was particularly important. It can be said that the country is governed by etiquette, and etiquette is the expression of benevolence and filial piety.

When Jia's mother saw Brother Jia finishing his salute, she said to the man next to her: "Bring a chair to your uncle."

Yuanyang immediately moved a show stand for Jia Ke, and Jia Ke was not polite and sat down on it.

Seeing Jia Ke sit down, Jia Mu couldn't wait to ask: "What did the emperor say in court today? Did he give you a reward?"

"Today at the court meeting, the emperor's grace was so great that I was granted the title of Marquis of Wuyang for three more generations."

As soon as Jia Ke finished saying this, Jia's mother and everyone present laughed happily. This would ensure that the Jia family would be prosperous for six generations, and that there would be no sorrow in the Jia family for at least a hundred years.

Only Jia Mu was happy on the surface. In fact, she had other thoughts in her heart, but she could only hide these thoughts in her heart. However, she silently watched Jia Ke get closer and closer to that position step by step. Every time Jia Ke

Taking a step forward makes her happy.

Jia Zheng asked with a smile on his face: "Since the title has been passed down for three generations, the emperor has been very graceful. I wonder if your official position has changed. It would be better if you could be transferred back to Beijing."

"Father, please tell me. Your Majesty has dismissed me from the post of Jiedushi of Xuanfu Town and allowed me to serve in the capital." Jia Ke also gave up in front of everyone. Now he is like a child who wants to be praised.

.

Jia Mu looked at him and asked him jokingly: "Then what position does the emperor want you to hold in Beijing? Tell us and we will be happy."

At this time, Jia Ke bowed his hands to the palace, and then said: "The duties assigned to me by the emperor this time are..." When he said this, he looked at the people present, and then continued: "The guards in the collar

Minister, Admiral of the Nine Gates, Jiedu Jingzhong Second Battalion, Minister of Military Aircraft."

Everyone was shocked when they heard what he said. They thought that the emperor would give Jia Ke a satisfactory position, but they did not expect that the emperor would treat Jia Ke so favorably. The minister of bodyguards in the territory was originally held by King Beijing, who commanded 20,000 forbidden troops.

The safety of the emperor, and the nine admirals also control 30,000 troops to maintain law and order in the capital. The emperor usually divides these two positions between two confidants, but now they are given to Jia Ke alone, which shows the emperor's trust in him.

.

The next two positions are Jieduzhong No. 2 Battalion, which is not as many as the Jingying Jiedushi, and the Minister of Military and Aircraft behind them have no idea what their positions are.

At this time, Mrs. Wang's face turned a little dark, and she asked Jia Ke in a bad tone: "Since you are visiting the capital camp, what is your uncle Wang Ziteng doing?"

"Mom, please don't worry. My uncle is still the governor of the Jingying camp. He just divided the Xishan camp from the three camps, and the people I brought this time formed the Ruijian camp. These two camps are under my command.

.However, the emperor also gave his uncle the title of first-class general." Jia Ke was not at all annoyed because of Mrs. Wang's bad tone towards him.
