After listening to Jia Ke's words, the emperor did not express his position on the spot. Instead, he sat in a chair and closed his eyes in meditation. The emperor was now very worried about his own safety. The only military commander he could trust now was Jia Ke. As for the people recommended by Jia Ke
, he is still relieved, this mentality has been surrounding him since meeting Jia Ke.
Suddenly the emperor opened his eyes and said to Dai Quan who was standing next to him: "It is hereby announced that Huang Baifeng will be appointed as the Jiedushi of Xuanfu Town, and Feng Mo will be appointed as the Jiedushi of Liaodong. They are ordered to be diligent in the king's affairs and not slacken their efforts."
Dai Quan, who was standing next to him, quickly replied: "I will come back to Yangxin Hall soon, so I will send someone to deliver the order immediately."
The emperor hummed and said to Pan Yong next to him: "Bring me the list you drew up and let me see it."
Pan Yong was almost frightened to death after hearing the emperor's words. He thought the emperor had forgotten about it. Unexpectedly, the emperor was waiting for him here.
But he didn't dare to disrespect the emperor's order, so he quickly went to the table next to him and took out a memorial, which he had just drafted. He originally wanted to wait for Jia Ke to sign it and then send it to him together. Unexpectedly, Jia Ke
Not only did he disagree, but he almost got into a fight with him. Now the emperor wanted to see that he had to submit this memorial to the emperor.
The emperor took the memorial in his hand, looked carefully, and saw the people on it. He knew most of them, and it seemed that Pan Yong didn't dare to act recklessly. Just now, the emperor approved the candidate recommended by Jia Ke, and now he will give Pan Yong some face.
, erased a few of the people he suspected, and then said to Jia Ke and Pan Yong: "That's it for the candidates in this memorial. I have already erased a few, and the others are as you wish."
After hearing the emperor's words, Pan Yong not only did not feel happy, but instead felt a chill extending directly from his feet to his forehead. After the emperor knew what he meant, he still arranged the manpower according to his wishes. This was not a reward for him.
It is a naked warning. If he is doing anything wrong to form a party for personal gain, this memorial will be evidence of his crime. When the time comes, this memorial will be enough to accuse him of evil intentions.
Pan Yong has now put away all his thoughts that he shouldn't have. How can his little thoughts defeat the emperor?
Jia Ke also saw clearly from the side. The emperor's tactics were indeed powerful. He had learned another trick. The emperor now had the right choice for Pan Yong without any worries. Because these people were all in front of him.
Obviously, as long as Pan Yong dares to disobey the emperor's wishes, the emperor can catch them all.
The emperor looked at and dealt with these matters, then walked out of the military aircraft office and returned to Dongnuang Pavilion, leaving behind two military ministers, Jia Ke and Pan Yong, who were sweating through their vests. Now the two of them can be regarded as feeling what companionship is.
The emperor is like a tiger, and the most important thing now is to temporarily appease the emperor, the tiger.
Pan Yong waited for a long time, and then said to Jia Ke: "Master Jia, I have offended you so much just now. From now on, we will work together to serve the emperor. Please take care of me in the future, Master Jia."
Jia Ke naturally understood what Pan Yong meant. It seemed that he had given in for the time being. It seemed that the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department was still very useful. Jia Ke did not ignore him, but instead held up his hands and said to Pan Yong: "Master Pan
Needless to say, when it comes to taking care of me, I still want Master Pan to take care of me in the future. After all, Master Pan has helped the emperor handle the government affairs for so many years, and these are all things that I lack."
Pan Yong was quite satisfied after hearing what Jia Ke said. This Jia Ke still had some self-awareness and knew that he could rely on himself in government affairs.
"It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk. From now on, we will still take care of each other."
When Jia Ke saw that the two sides had settled their differences, he asked: "Master Pan, the emperor just asked, how should we deal with this rebellion?"
"The emperor wants us to deal with it quickly and strictly, but we can't go against the emperor's will. We will send people to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment soon to ask them to deal with this matter quickly." Pan Yong said calmly.
"This time, the emperor has dealt with so many people. It's hard to prevent the relatives of these people from interceding for mercy. No one of us can agree." Jia Ke expressed his opinion to Pan Yong. This time, the emperor was different.
They were watching so closely, and if anything went wrong, neither of them would be able to survive.
Pan Yong immediately frowned. Originally, he didn't want to agree. If he could give some favors to these people this time, some people would definitely reciprocate, and then his own strength would expand even more. But when he thought of the emperor's attitude just now,
, he put this thought away again. At this critical moment, he couldn't make any mistakes.
"Master Jia is right. This time, we must strictly supervise Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. We must not go through the motions like before." Pan Yong has given up on these people. After all, compared with his official position and life, they are nothing like prisoners.
Not much.
Jia Ke and Pan Yong discussed it and decided to send a message to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to ask them to close the case quickly, so as to give an explanation to the emperor. If they didn't rush them, they didn't know when they would be able to finish the matter.
When Jia Ke returned to Rongguo Mansion in the afternoon, he felt as if he was flying in the clouds that day, but he was not flying steadily, but rising and falling.
Jia Ke only felt that it was not easy to be the Minister of Military and Aircraft. They were different from the previous bachelors. In the past, the bachelors had special government offices, but they, the Minister of Military and Aircraft, worked in the palace under the eyes of the emperor. If there was any slight disturbance,
The emperor knew it.
Just like today, if he hadn't been aware of the emperor's arrival in advance due to his sharp ears and eyes and strong martial arts, and let the emperor know that he and Pan Yong colluded with each other to secretly grant and accept court officials, he would still have reaped the benefits.
Jia Ke rode his horse with his own soldiers. As soon as he returned to the front of Rongguo Mansion, he saw Lin Zhixiao waiting there.
As soon as Lin Zhixiao saw Jia Ke coming back, he hurried up to lead his horse and stir up the pedals. Jia Ke got off the horse and asked him: "Is there something else going on today? The old lady and the master asked you to wait for me here?"
"Uncle, have you forgotten that the old lady wanted to clean up your mansion yesterday, send out servants, and let you live in Wuyanghou's Mansion from now on. Now everything is well arranged in Wuyanghou's Mansion. Sir, do you want to go and have a look?" Lin Zhixiao hurriedly said.
Explain to Jia Ke.
Jia Ke also knew that Wuyang Hou Mansion had been empty for a long time, so he only took one look at it as his own master, and then returned to live in Rong Guo Mansion. Yesterday, the old lady had no one to clean up her room, so she asked him to move to Wuyang Hou Mansion, which was also a good intention.
.And now he is the Minister of Military and Aircraft, and he is also in charge of the Imperial Guard and the security of the capital. There are more than 100,000 elite soldiers outside the city for him to command. There must be various officials coming to visit him. He is living in Rongguo Mansion.
There are also some inconveniences.
So I followed Lin Zhixiao around the Wuyang Hou Mansion. I found that everything from the concierge to the gardener to the maids everywhere to the kitchen was fully staffed.
Jia Ke also found Chuncao's mother, the Wuzhong family, in the kitchen. Jia Ke casually appointed the Wuzhong family as the steward of the kitchen. He chatted with her for a few words and told him that Chuncao was now his concubine, and she would be his concubine in about a while.
Will return to Jiafu from Xuanfu Town.
Then he asked his father what Wuzhong was doing. Lin Zhixiao who was standing next to him quickly replied: "Uncle Qi, now Wuzhong is in charge of the keys everywhere, and he is also responsible for the night inspections every night."
When Jia Ke heard that he was already a small steward, he stopped saying anything. Moreover, Chuncao's father was loyal, honest, and stubborn. He felt relieved that such a person would be in charge of the keys to each door.
Jia Ke walked around Wuyanghou Mansion and did not move in immediately. Instead, he returned to Aunt Zhou's small courtyard.
As soon as Aunt Zhou saw Jia Ke coming back, her eyes were full of surprise. She was very happy that Jia Ke still came back to live. In her opinion, if she could delay it for one more day, it would be a day.
Jia Ke returned to Aunt Zhou's small courtyard. As soon as the mother and son exchanged a few words, Caixia, the maid from Mrs. Wang's courtyard, came to deliver a message.
It turned out that Jia Zheng returned to the inner courtyard and had something to ask Jia Ke, so he ordered him to go to Mrs. Wang's room.
Although Jia Ke is now inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, he does not dare to neglect Jia Zheng. After all, in ancient times, the world was governed by filial piety. Any official who is disrespectful to his parents will be impeached immediately.
Jia Ke followed Caixia to Mrs. Wang's courtyard in a hurry. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Jia Zhu was there. Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were sitting at the head.
Jia Ke immediately stepped forward to salute the two of them, saying, "My dear Jia Ke, here are my father and mother."
"Since you're here, you don't need to be polite. Come here, bring your uncle a chair and sit next to me." Jia Zheng is in a good mood now. He has been in the Ministry of Works for the past two days and has been favored by his colleagues. Even the workers
When the minister saw him, he treated him as an equal and did not dare to compare himself with his superior.
At this time, a little maid had moved a chair and placed it next to Jia Zheng. Jia Ke had to apologize before she dared to sit down.
So there were three people sitting in the room, and only Jia Zhu was still standing there. Mrs. Wang was a little unhappy when she saw this situation, but she didn't dare to get angry. The Jia family now is different from before.
Even his brother Wang Ziteng, the military commander of the Jingying camp, now has to live in the face of the Jia family, and the source of all this is Jia Ke next to him, not to mention that today's matter has to be entrusted to Jia Ke.
When Jia Zheng saw that Jia Ke had already settled down, he started to talk, "I heard that many officials in the court are involved in the prince's case. Does it matter?"
When Jia Ke heard what he said, he knew that many people had come to him to beg for mercy. Jia Ke knew that the emperor was very cruel this time, and anyone who begged for mercy might be considered by the emperor to be one of the prince's party.
So he quickly warned Jia Zheng: "Dad, has he been asked by someone else?"
"A few close officials came to ask for help, but I was not considerate enough to help them ask." Jia Zheng also did not shy away from telling the truth.
Jia Ke hurriedly said: "Father, it's better to leave this matter alone. The emperor has issued a strict decree this time, asking us to deal with it seriously and quickly. Please tell your friends not to get involved. In case the emperor suspects it,
, it’s hard to protect yourself.” Jia Ke didn’t mince words and directly reminded Jia Zheng. He was afraid that if Jia Zheng participated in such a thing, the emperor would be concerned about him.
