After everyone returned to the military aircraft, they no longer had the heart to work anymore. They all sat in their own seats, thinking about their own concerns.
Not long after, the door curtain was opened, and Old Meng Ming walked in from the outside, but after he came in, he sat dejectedly on his desk and said nothing.
Jia Ke knew that old Meng Ming's temper was full of opinions, so he asked: "Mr. Meng, you went to see the Emperor. What does the Emperor mean?"
Jia Ke was still thinking of what might happen. If the Supreme Emperor stopped the Emperor, there might be room for easing the water conservancy issue.
Old Mengming lowered his head and sighed: "Although I met the Supreme Emperor, his health was not very good. He only said a few words and asked me to withdraw."
When Jia Ke heard this, his heart became knotted, and he immediately put aside the matter of the river, thinking about the body of the Supreme Emperor. Although the Supreme Emperor gave up on Jia Ke in the end, after all, the Supreme Emperor was still kind to him, Jia Ke.
If it hadn't been for the great emperor's efforts to promote him, Jia Ke would not have been able to become one of the top officials in the dynasty at such a young age and have the power to dominate the world.
Meng Ming went to see him today because of this matter, but he came back so quickly. It seems that the emperor could not hold on even before he got to the main topic. This result was something Jia Ke did not expect. You must know that in Dream of Red Mansions, the emperor could not hold on.
for many years.
Jia Ke's heart was pounding now. He thought about it. In the Dream of Red Mansions, the Supreme Emperor had always held certain rights, but now due to his pressure, the Supreme Emperor had to hand over all power to the emperor so that the emperor could fight against Jia Ke, a powerful official.
Then there are two possibilities. After the Supreme Emperor gave up power, the changes that occurred in his heart have lost his energy and spirit, so people age very quickly and their condition worsens. Just like the current retirement syndrome, there is no
Before retirement, these people were all in high spirits. Once they retired, they were immediately plagued by various illnesses, and some even died not long after.
Another possibility is that the emperor already felt that the Supreme Emperor was an eyesore, and wanted the Supreme Emperor to die as soon as possible.
However, according to Jia Ke's analysis, the first type is more likely. After Jia Ke's observation during this period, he believed that the Supreme Emperor was suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. This disease is considered a difficult disease in modern society. In ancient times,
I'm afraid it's considered a terminal illness. With the superb medical skills of the Tai Hospital, it's not easy to be able to sustain the Emperor for such a long time.
When the others heard what Old Meng Ming said, they all had expressions of astonishment on their faces. When the Supreme Emperor was normal, everyone thought he was an eyesore. It was only when he was really dying that these civil servants felt the importance of the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor was here
At that time, they always felt that they had a backbone behind them. Once they heard that the Emperor was so seriously ill and considered that the Emperor had passed away, everyone felt empty in their hearts.
Now that Jia Ke thinks about it, no wonder the emperor is a little anxious. It seems that the emperor is really not in good health. Although the emperor has always felt that the emperor is an eyesore, now he feels that the emperor is his backbone, so he wants to get rid of Jia Ke before the emperor dies.
Hidden danger.
Jia Ke didn't want to continue to struggle with this matter, so he said to the military ministers: "The emperor has just made a decision, so let's approve the official document. Especially in Xuanfu, Liaodong and Miyun in the north of the capital,
We must inform them as early as possible so that they can be prepared, otherwise these people may cause trouble by then."
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Lei Ying, the Minister of War, immediately agreed: "What Mr. Jia said is exactly that this matter must be arranged in advance. The border generals also have some ways to make money, so let them make preparations in advance, and they can
Let’s fool this year. Otherwise, if the sound suddenly stops, these big-headed soldiers will definitely cause trouble.”
Liu Yu, the Minister of Personnel, thought of the emperor's plan, but in this case, I am afraid that the emperor's idea will come to nothing, but at this time, he can't care so much. The emperor really went too far this time.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Jia Ke said to Lao Meng Ming: "Sir, you are the penman of our Military Aircraft Department, and you will draft this official document."
Old Meng Ming sighed and said: "Okay, what can we do? I will write an official document right now, and you will sign it. Please send it to the emperor after he has used the seal, so that the people below can make preparations."
Lao Mengming deserves to be a member of the Imperial Academy for many years. It only took a moment to draft an official document. Then Jia Ke took it over and took a closer look. He saw that it was full of flowers. It was really a good article. This is not a palace document. This is an important document.
Take the top exam.
After Jia Ke read it, he showed it to several other military ministers. Everyone praised him after reading it. Jia Ke was also a military commander. Although he had studied for several years, it was all before Jia Ke traveled through time. As for those memories now,
Jia Ke has been confused for a long time, so I just think this article is good, but I can't see what's good about it.
But the other people all came from serious imperial examinations and had also spent time in the Hanlin Academy. At this time, they couldn’t put it down after reading Meng Ming’s article. They all praised old Meng Ming and said: “Mr. Old Meng’s writing style is getting more and more sophisticated.
If this article were the top scorer in the imperial examination, he would not be able to pass."
When Lao Mengming heard their compliments, he couldn't help but smile on his face. The unhappiness he felt just now had somewhat dissipated. After all, writing articles was his proudest place. Now that so many people were praising him, how could he be unhappy?
Jia Ke saw that they had read it almost, and said to everyone: "No one has any objections, just sign it. Then it can be handed over to the emperor for sealing."
So everyone picked up their pens and signed their names on the back of the official document. Finally, Jia Ke also signed his name. He put it in a paper bag, sealed it with the ink pad next to it, and finally stamped it on the ink pad.
The large seal of the Military Aircraft Department.
Then he called a young eunuch and said, "Send this official document to the emperor. Please approve it and seal it. Tell the emperor that this matter is urgent and that it will be settled as soon as possible."
The little eunuch gently took the official document, raised his hands above his head, slowly exited the military aircraft office, and then ran into the Yangxin Hall.
The emperor was sitting on the throne at this time, a little distracted. Now the emperor's condition is getting more and more serious. He can only be awake for one or two hours every day. He is getting more and more anxious now. Photo by Jia Ke when the emperor is here
Due to the majesty of the Supreme Emperor, he did not dare to act rashly. What would he do if the Supreme Emperor died?
And every time he met with the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Emperor asked him whether Jia Yuanchun was pregnant. When he said that Jia Yuanchun was not pregnant, he felt anxiety and fear in the Emperor's eyes.
The emperor now understood the emperor's intention, which was to arrange the last escape route for himself. After understanding this, he no longer rejected Jia Yuanchun's pregnancy, so he stopped taking Jia Yuanchun's decoction during this period.
But Jia Yuanchun took birth control pills for too long. Although the imperial doctor took careful care, according to the imperial doctor, it would probably take several months before she could become pregnant.
While the emperor was thinking wildly, Xia Shouzhong quietly came to the emperor and sent an official document to the emperor, "Long live Lord, this is an urgent official document just sent from the Military Aircraft Department. Please read it and seal it quickly.
"
Only then did the emperor come back to his senses. He glanced at the official document and took it casually. He tore open the envelope and took a closer look. It turned out that it was an official document sent to the three border gates in the north of the capital and the Hedao Yamen.
The emperor saw that it was all what he had just decided, so he didn't care. He picked up the pen and wanted to give instructions, but the pen seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and he couldn't put it down.
The emperor now has a struggling expression on his face. In fact, he also knows what kind of people the officials in the court are now. If he continues to give instructions, many people will have their families destroyed.
The emperor looked at the documents on the imperial case and became more and more irritated. You must know that he is still very ambitious and considers himself a wise monarch. But this time he has sacrificed so much to deal with Jia Ke, and now he is hesitant.
.
The emperor threw the pen aside irritably, then stood up and walked down the imperial steps, walking back and forth in the Dongnuan Pavilion. He also listened and thought for a while.
Finally, the emperor seemed to have made up his mind and walked up the imperial steps again and returned to the imperial desk. He picked up the pen and was about to make comments on the documents, but he stopped again. This time he was even more irritable and directly took the pen in his hand.
He threw it out of the hall, and then scratched all the memorials, pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the table to the ground.
Xia Shouzhong, who was standing next to him, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the emperor like this. During this period, the emperor's temper became more and more irritable due to the emperor's illness.
The emperor now sat weakly on the throne, closing his eyes for the final ideological struggle.
If there is turmoil this time because of this money, the first possibility is the northern frontier army. However, those generals do not dare to go too far. After all, they also know the priorities of the matter. In the end, they can only keep urging the court.
When the time comes, it will be your chance.
At that time, like an angel, he can send people to appear in front of these people, win back their hearts, and reduce Jia Ke's strength. Even if these people refuse to repent, if he gives them so little silver, they will
In order to survive, he could only reduce his troops and eat some free wages to survive. This also weakened Jia Ke in disguised form.
This shows that the situation of the border troops can still be controlled. The most dangerous thing now is the river. There is so much money missing this year. Considering the greedy nature of those officials, I am afraid that not one or two silver will be used to repair the river.
But now I can only turn a blind eye and pray to God that the weather will be good this year and the river will not flood. Otherwise, when the flood victims are everywhere, I will not be able to suppress them quickly.
The emperor regretted it now. Why did he come up with such an idea at that time? He felt that he was obsessed with it at the time. After he came up with this idea, he couldn't control it no matter what and had to implement it. Thinking about it now, this method is really dangerous.
Now the emperor thinks that very few dynasties in each dynasty have been wiped out by foreign enemies. Most of them were destroyed due to civil strife. Especially floods and droughts are more serious. If they are not handled well, the people in the border areas will be affected and the dynasty will be destroyed.
But now it was too late to regret it. The emperor steeled himself and stretched out his hand to Xia Shouzhong beside him, and a writing brush was immediately put into his hand.
Then an inkstone was placed next to the emperor. The emperor put the brush on the inkstone, soaked it with ink, opened the document again, and wrote a few words on it: "According to the memorial, it shall be executed accordingly."
