Chapter 259 Housewarming
After Jia Zheng explained the matter of Jia Ke's marriage, he let him go back. There were some things that Jia Ke couldn't know for the time being. This was something that Jia's mother and Jia Zheng had discussed, and they were afraid that Jia Ke would have any worries about what he did. But
They didn't know that Jia Ke had already guessed the matter very well, which was because the time traveler had known about it beforehand.
When Jia Ke returned to Aunt Zhou's courtyard, it was already getting late, and a sumptuous banquet had already been held in the living room. Although Jia Ke had already told the big kitchen that they would not have to be so extravagant, this time he did not care at all.
Yes, because Jia's mother spontaneously said that from now on Jia Ke and Aunt Zhou will have the same status as Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.
Therefore, the big kitchen dares to disobey Lao Taishan of Rongguo Mansion, so Jia Ke and Aunt Zhou start a life of delicacies from the mountains and seas every day. And the maids under them have become naughty these days and will not eat the food sent by the maids.
Every day, after Jia Ke and Aunt Zhou had eaten a few bites, they began to divide the delicacies on the table, either into their own mouths, or sent home for their parents, relatives and friends to try.
Because of this matter, Xia Mai had quarreled several times with Jin Chuan, whom she refused to deal with. Jin Chuan always laughed at Xia Mai's petty attitude. But Xia Mai was angry and said that people like Jin Chuan could not eat grapes and talk about grapes.
Suan Jinchuan was so angry that she gave Mrs. Wang's leftovers to the little maids below, but she herself didn't bother to eat the leftovers. Therefore, the two of them refused to give in to each other and started to fight fiercely.
Had a few quarrels.
When Jia Ke saw what the head of the Jia family had said, he began to enjoy it with peace of mind. Besides, he promised to give Rongguo Mansion 50,000 taels of silver every year, and the entire Rongguo Mansion would never be able to use it up. Therefore, he was happy to enjoy this.
In his life, as for how to be diligent and frugal in running a household, he has long forgotten it. This is how easy it is to go from frugality to luxury, but how difficult to go from luxury to frugality. This has always been the case throughout the ages.
Although Jia Ke can enjoy it with peace of mind, Aunt Zhou spoils it every time she sees a large table of dishes? She has to say a few words to Jia Ke every time. And every time Jia Ke goes in with the left ear and goes out with the right ear
, I agreed at first, then turned around and put the matter aside.
In the next few days, in addition to moving, Jia Ke also dealt with the case of the prince's rebellion. It was easy for Jia Ke to move, but he didn't have much. What he did have were horses, Fang Tian's painted halberd and armor. Naturally, he didn't dare to do these things.
He bothered others and sent it to his dormitory in Wuyang Marquis Mansion personally. He didn't need to worry about other things like some clothes. Aunt Zhou had already prepared it and sent someone to deliver it to him.
On the day of the move, Jia Zheng personally hosted a banquet at the Wuyang Hou Mansion, and invited relatives, friends, and old friends. These people now knew that Jia Ke was different from the past. He was no longer the same person who performed martial arts in the training ground a few years ago.
He is such a young boy. He even said that they will all rely on Jia Ke in the future.
So all the princes and princes came to congratulate him. Only the new King Beijing did not go out because he was still in mourning period, but he also sent his butler to congratulate him.
Jia Ke knew that the new King of Beijing, Shuirong, would have a turbulent relationship with the Jia family in the future, and that this person would become a powerful person in the future, and he would be a confidant of the new emperor. Many red scholars said that King Beijing was
The fundamental reason for the decline of the Jia family.
Now Jia Ke was wary of this man because according to the Dream of Red Mansions, this man was a member of the new emperor, and Jia Ke was naturally a confidant of the Supreme Emperor.
Once the two supreme beings fight in the future, there will be no room for reconciliation, so when Jia Ke sent the steward of King Shuirong of Beijing to congratulate him, Jia Ke just treated him casually and sent him away.
But before the banquet that followed, it became Jia Zheng's most prosperous time. Almost all the heads of the four princes and eight princes gathered around Jia Zheng to congratulate him. Jia Zheng also completely abandoned his previous nerd appearance and chatted with all the heads.
People compliment each other and appear to be at ease with each other.
Jia Ke was behind Jia Zheng, interspersed among the guests and friends, and kept chatting with these people. This time Jia Ke was on an equal footing and recognized all the relationships in the Jia family. In this way
Come, even if both parties are familiar with each other, they can take care of each other if anything happens in the future.
After the housewarming ceremony of this day passed, Jia Ke settled down in Wuyanghou Mansion openly. He lived in Wuwei Hall, the main hall of Wuyanghou Mansion, and was served by six or seven handsome maids. These maids were all selected from Rongguo Mansion.
After choosing, he was finally placed next to Jia Ke.
Although Jia Ke lived in Wuyanghou Mansion, he still went to Rongguo Mansion every day to pay homage to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, and also went to see Aunt Zhou. His performance in filial piety was impeccable.
The next step is to deal with the prince's rebellion case. The prince has been deposed as a commoner and imprisoned in the palace. They don't need to worry about it. What Jia Ke and Pan Yong worry about now are the arrested figures of the prince's party.
In the next few days, following the emperor's order, the two of them kept urging Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to close the case as soon as possible.
The Sanfa Division was not so concerned about this matter. After all, it would offend many people, which made Jia Ke and Pan Yong extremely anxious. The emperor was there, urging people to worry every day, and these people below
People are not in a hurry.
In the end, Jia Ke and Pan Yong had no choice but to discuss it and decided that Pan Yong would go to Dali Temple in person to take charge of the case, so that they could quickly close the case and give an explanation to the emperor.
Chen Yong, the minister of Dali Temple, and Sun Yan, the new minister of the Ministry of Punishment, were very worried by the two military ministers. However, they did not dare to resist because they knew that this was the emperor's intention, so they could only intensify the interrogation. For many unclear questions
Regardless of whether they all relied on the Crown Prince to conspire against him or not, they were able to complete the trial within seven or eight days for such a big case. There was no need to mention how many unjust cases there were.
When they sent the memorial of the conclusion of the case to the two military ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, both of them were shocked. They did not expect that so many people would be involved. If this was done, the capital would be a river of blood.
.
Pan Yong's hand started to tremble while holding the list. Jia Ke only glanced at it and hid far away. Jia Ke was frightened. Although he killed many people on the battlefield, let him see it.
It's still a bit scary to see vivid names that will be executed if they are scratched. Many of them are babies under one year old.
Pan Yong read the memorial in his hand and said to Jia Ke: "Master Jia, you are the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department. Now it's your turn to speak up and get a charter. We still have to draw up a charter on how to deal with these people."
Jia Ke really didn't want to get involved with this matter, but as the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department, he had natural jurisdiction over this matter, and at this time he was the only one who could make the decision.
Jia Kesi thought about it, and realized that the emperor was cruel this time. All the officials wanted to kill the nine tribes, and there was an unknown rule not to kill women and children. But who knows whether the emperor would become so angry this time that he would not forgive.
Jia Ke thought about it carefully and thought that God has the virtue of good life. Too many people died this time, so he still left some virtue for future generations.
So he drafted a memorial, to the effect that all cases would be settled by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. They seemed to be able to close the case, but in the spirit of God's good will, he asked the emperor to be lenient and pardon those infants under one year old, as well as innocent people.
A woman's life.
Then he attached the names of all the criminals and their families involved in the rebellion. The reason why Jia Ke was so complicated and wrote all these names on the memorial was because Jia Ke was clever.
It took Jia Ke just two days to write this list, and there were nearly 20,000 names. Jia Ke believed that anyone would be frightened to see so many people being executed, and Jia Ke would be the emperor as well.
Compassion will definitely arise. Then the lives of the women, children, and young children among them will be saved.
Jia Ke finished writing the memorial and handed it to Pan Yong for him to read. There were only two of them in the military department. As long as they both signed, the matter could be reported to the emperor.
Pan Yongzhi read the memorial from beginning to end. Although the entire memorial was written in vernacular. Unlike those of them who were born as Jinshi, they were written by Zhihu Zhihu. However, the more clear it is, the more business it is worth. If
Everyone will write memorials like this in the future, and it will be much easier for their military aircraft department to handle things.
After reading the memorial, Pan Yong felt that Jia Ke handled the matter very appropriately. He had seen through Jia Ke's intentions, but he felt that this was also in line with his wishes. He couldn't bear that so many innocent women and children were going to be executed.
If he showed kindness at this time, he would be able to leave a good impression among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. So he quickly signed his name behind Jia Ke's memorial.
Jia Ke saw that Pan Yong had signed and knew that he agreed with his opinion, so he called the little eunuchs waiting outside the house. These little eunuchs were specially prepared for the military aircraft department. They were responsible for cleaning the military aircraft books and taking care of the military aircraft minister.
Secondly, the seal can be sent to the Middle East Nuan Pavilion in the Yangxin Hall at the back for the emperor to review at any time.
Jia Ke handed the memorial signed by him and Pan Yong to the young eunuch, telling him that the memorial was very important and asked him to send it to the emperor immediately.
Besides, since the emperor set up the Military Aircraft Department in the palace, the things he handles every day are much simpler. He directly throws many trivial matters to the Military Aircraft Department and lets them handle them. Even for many major military affairs, the Military Aircraft Department will also draw up the schedule in advance.
, think of a way to send it to him. At that time, he only needs to review it. If he thinks it is suitable, then do it. If he feels it is not suitable, he will call them and let them think of another way. So now he only needs to handle official business in Dongnuan Pavilion in the morning.
, he usually goes back to the inner palace to rest in the afternoon. Unless there is something very important, he is very free in the afternoon now.
When it was almost noon that day, the little eunuch who delivered the memorial came outside. He asked the little eunuch to first deliver the memorial to Dai Quan, and then Dai Quan forwarded it to the emperor's case.
Dai Quan originally did not want to send the memorial to the emperor at this time, because the emperor was about to return to the harem for lunch. He originally wanted to keep the memorial for the emperor to deal with tomorrow. But the little eunuch told him that it was urgent. He then
Chapter completed!
