Chapter 593 Temporary residence in the Qianqing Palace
Li Deshan listened to Jia Ke's words, and then he walked out of the main hall where the Qingmen used to be, and went to the back of the palace.
When Jia Ke saw that Li Deshan had left, he asked Sun Yan again, "Where is the emperor now?"
As soon as Sun Yan heard Jia Ke's question, he hurried forward. He was beside him anxiously when Jia Ke was talking to Fan Kang just now. Now it was finally his turn to show his face.
"Returning to my lord, I just heard from the soldiers that the emperor was imprisoned in the backyard of the palace by King Zhongshun."
After hearing this, Jia Ke burst out laughing in the hall, which shook the beams of the hall a little.
"What an emperor. Now he can taste the taste of a powerful minister. When I was in power, he regarded me as a thorn in his side. How about now? His royal family members are in power, so he is not imprisoned in a small building.
inside."
After hearing what Jia Ke said, all the generals below laughed together.
At this time, Zhang Chaoxin walked to the middle and said flatteringly: "There is no such kind person in the world as my lord. It is simply a fool's dream that the emperor expects others to treat him as kindly as my lord."
Fan Kang stood aside and watched these people keep laughing at the emperor, but Jia Ke not only did not object, but sat there and nodded, which made him shake his head. Jia Ke is now the same as the Jiedushi who was the courtesy corporal.
They are completely different.
Fan Kang walked out of the class, bowed to Jia Ke and said: "My lord, Liu Fang, the grandson of Liu Biao, Duke of Li, has been killed by King Zhongshun because he said a few words to his lord.
Know how the lord should appease his family."
After Jia Ke heard this, he remembered this person. Liu Fang had defected to him early. This time, he also conveyed a lot of news to his side in the capital. He should be regarded as a hero.
Jia Ke stood up and walked up and down the imperial steps for a few steps, thinking about the reward for this man. If he didn't even reward the minister who died for him, who would sacrifice his life for him in the future.
"It is my command that Liu Fang has made great contributions to the imperial court, but now he has lost his life for the imperial court. I specially grant Liu Fang the title of Marquis of Zhongjing, and his eldest son will inherit the position of Marquis."
After listening to Jia Ke's words, all the ministers agreed together.
Fan Kang then reported to Jia Ke: "During this period, the people in the capital have been harassed by King Zhongshun's rebellion. Please give me an order to appease the people."
"Well, it's not easy for the people in the capital during this period. Please pass on my orders and issue a peace notice to allow the people to resume their normal livelihood."
Then Jia Ke did not continue to say how to deal with the emperor, and asked everyone to retreat.
After everyone retreated, Jia Ke stood up and looked left and right in the main hall of Qianqing Gate. He looked at the splendid hall of Qianqing Gate with envy on his face.
While Jia Ke was intoxicated here, Li Deshan changed his clothes and returned to the main hall of Qianqingmen with a few confidant eunuchs.
Li Deshan came to the entrance of the hall, looked at Jia Ke's appearance in the hall, and hurriedly ordered several eunuchs under him to wait outside.
Then Li Deshan quietly entered the hall, came to Jia Ke's side and said, "Master, I have searched the palace and found no concubine Xiande or the little prince."
Jia Ke frowned after hearing this, "What's going on? Has King Zhongshun already hidden Concubine Xiande and the little prince?"
Li Deshan hurriedly replied: "I have already inquired. Although King Zhongshun sent people into the palace to arrest Concubine Xiande, when his people arrived at the palace, Concubine Xiande and the Queen Mother had disappeared."
Jia Ke thought for a while and said, "Immediately send people to search near the palace. I think there must be a secret passage inside the palace leading to the outside. I'm afraid these two women won't be able to go very far. We must find them."
Come."
After listening, Li Deshan nodded quickly.
Jia Ke thought for a while and then added: "If you can't find them in the capital, look for them near the capital. If you find them and they don't come back, then send them to where they should go."
After hearing this, Li Deshan felt a little scared. This virtuous concubine was Jia Ke's sister. Jia Ke seemed not to have taken this sister to heart when he handed down such an order.
Jia Ke didn't know what Li Deshan was thinking now. Now Jia Ke was afraid that the Empress Dowager would take Jia Yuanchun and the little prince to hide among the people and wait for opportunities in the future.
Jia Ke was afraid that he would have trouble in the future. When Jia Ke thought about it, it was nothing when he was in power. He controlled the military power in the world, and all the generals were his die-hard loyalists, but his descendants did not have such ability.
If this little prince is allowed to cause trouble among the people, it will cause trouble for Jia Ke's descendants.
After receiving Jia Ke's order, Li Deshan immediately left the Qianqing Gate, conveyed Jia Ke's intention to a few close men, and asked them to hurry up, and then returned to the Qianqing Gate to serve Jia Ke.
"When can the old lady and the others return to Beijing?"
"Returning to the master, the old lady and the others have many female relatives there. I guess they can't walk very long every day. It will take more than half a month to reach the capital."
Jia Ke nodded and said: "In that case, there is no need to go back home now, we will stay in Qianqing Palace temporarily."
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Li Deshan knew that he was already very good at it. As a slave, how could he dare to object? He could only stand there and pretend to be deaf and dumb.
After Jia Ke said this, he took Li Deshan to Qianqing Palace.
While walking, Brother Jia also told Li Deshan, "Don't be idle during this period of time. The Duke of Yan's Mansion where we live now was originally the Wuyang Marquis Mansion. It has a different brand. This time I want to enter the title of King Yan. Where is it?"
The regulations are inappropriate, so you ask the people from the Ministry of Works to start work immediately, and the mansion is roughly completed before the old lady comes back."
After hearing this, Li Deshan hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Master, it's not that the slave is not trying his best. It is actually according to the specifications of the prince's palace. Our current Duke of Yan's palace is too small. If it is to be built according to the specifications of the prince's palace, not only must
The scale will be expanded, and the front hall and other areas will also need to be demolished and rebuilt.”
Jia Ke frowned when he heard this. He thought about it secretly. The palaces he had visited, Zhongshun Palace and Beijing Palace, were indeed magnificent. His Yan State Palace was actually the original Wuyang Marquis Palace.
, it seems that if we want to change it into Prince Yan's Mansion, we will have to do a lot of construction work.
"You ask the Ministry of Industry to seize the time as much as possible. Before the Yan Palace is built, I will temporarily live in Qianqing Palace."
"My servant has taken note of it."
Jia Ke nodded and said nothing more. Then under the leadership of Li Deshan, Jia Ke entered the Qianqing Palace.
It is not the first time for Jia Ke to come to Qianqing Palace, but after all, every time he comes here he is in a hurry, so now he has time to appreciate it.
Li Deshan saw Jia Ke's interest, so he took Jia Ke around the Qianqing Palace.
After Jia Ke finished the tour, he kept sighing, no wonder everyone wants to be the emperor. The layout of the Qianqing Palace is so luxurious and beautifully decorated.
Jia Ke came to the throne in the main hall of Qianqing Palace, and after sitting firmly, he said to Li Deshan: "If you have free time now, go to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, bring the emperor back, and find a tight place to lock him up first. Wait for my orders."
After hearing this, Li Deshan immediately nodded and said: "I will go and take care of it in a moment and bring the emperor back this afternoon."
After hearing this, Jia Ke said nothing more. He just yawned and said, "It's getting late. Let the imperial kitchen prepare a meal for me. I'll also try what the emperor eats."
After hearing this, Li Deshan immediately went to make arrangements. In a short time, a table of dishes was placed in the side hall of Qianqing Palace, with about forty or fifty kinds of dishes.
After making arrangements, Li Deshan hurried to the main hall to invite Jia Ke.
"Master, lunch has been served. Master, do you want to eat now, or do you want to wait a moment?"
Jia Ke left the throne without any delay. Li Deshan hurriedly led the way. Then Jia Ke rushed down to the side hall in front of a group of eunuchs. As expected, a large table was already placed there, covered with yellow silk. Forty or fifty kinds of precious delicacies are placed on the yellow silk ribbon.
After Jia Ke sat in the middle, Li Deshan quickly served Jia Ke like an emperor. He waved to the side first, and immediately a eunuch came with a small bowl, and then used a silver chopstick to eat all the dishes. Add a little bit of everything, put it in this small bowl, and then finish all the dishes in front of Jia Ke.
Jia Ke sat there with curiosity and looked at this process. When Jia Ke was in modern times, he also heard that the emperor had to have someone taste the food before eating. Now he has seen it happen.
Li Deshan stood aside and watched the eunuch finish eating all the food, and then waited again. After about a quarter of an hour, he saw that Eunuch Zhao was safe and sound, then he turned around and called Jia Ke: "Master, you can eat now." .”
At this time, Jia Ke started to eat, but when he tasted the food, it was almost cold.
Jia Ke started to complain after taking two bites: "What's going on? Is this what the emperor usually eats?"
Li Deshan stood beside him and said with a smile: "This has been the rule in the palace since ancient times."
After hearing this, Jia Ke had no choice but to eat some. Then he lost his appetite and asked them to take the food away.
"Go and tell the imperial kitchen that from now on all my meals must be hot. If you serve me these messy things to fool me, I will kill them all."
After listening to this, Li Deshan kept nodding. As an emperor and a courtier, every master has his own preferences, and the imperial dining room must also be modified according to the preferences of each master.
In the afternoon, Jia Ke came to Dongnuang Pavilion again and began to deal with the official business that had accumulated during this period.
Li Deshan saw that Jia Ke was currently handling official duties and had nothing to do with him, so he complained to Jia Ke, led his people out of the palace, and went straight to Zhongshun Prince's Mansion to pick up the emperor.
Jia Ke gave Li Deshan a gold medal before he left. Otherwise, if there were soldiers everywhere in the capital, how could ordinary people wander around the capital?
When Li Deshan arrived at Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, he found that the place had been surrounded by soldiers on three floors inside and three outside.
