After Jia Ke finished thinking, he turned to Jia Zheng and said, "Father, it seems to me that Zhao Shu has a good family, and Zhao Shu himself has a high official position, and he is worthy of our Jia Huan."
After hearing this, Jia Zheng felt that he was quite satisfied with this candidate. He had also heard of Zhao Shu's name.
Although Zhao Shu never formed cliques in the court, he was in charge of the staff department and was Jia Ke's confidant. He was no different from those military ministers.
"This candidate is not bad. I think you will send someone to test Zhao Shangshu's tone one day to see if he can agree. We cannot force marriage just because we are the royal family."
Jia Ke nodded hurriedly, then said a few compliments in front of Jia Zheng, and then left Kangning Palace and returned to his Heart Cultivation Palace.
Naturally, Jia Ke would not go to Zhao Shu's house to talk to him about this matter in person, so he directly ordered his eunuch Li Deshan to go and find out.
After receiving the imperial order, Li Deshan did not dare to hesitate. In a short time, he rode his horse and led his entourage to Zhao Shu's house.
Zhao Shu had just returned from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and before he had a cup of tea in the study, he received a report from someone below that he was the eunuch in the palace, and Li Deshan asked to see him.
Zhao Shu didn't dare to hesitate after hearing this, and immediately led people to meet Li Deshan outside the gate.
And Li Deshan didn't have any pride in this person who was about to become a relative of the emperor, so he came forward and bowed to him first.
Zhao Shu hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Deshan, and then the two of them led each other into the study.
After the guests and hosts were seated in the study, a servant served fragrant tea.
Zhao Shu picked up the fragrant tea and drank it gently, and then asked Li Deshan: "The chief manager is a busy man, how can he have time to come to my house?"
Li Deshan smiled and said, "Isn't this a big happy event coming to your house?"
"Oh, I wonder where joy comes from?"
"Zhao Shangshu, I heard that you have a beautiful lady waiting in your boudoir. I don't know if this is true."
Who is Zhao Shu? He is smarter than a monkey if he is touched. As soon as he heard Li Deshan's temptation, he turned this sentence around in his mind for a few times and roughly understood Li Deshan's intention. It seemed that this was for him.
My daughter is looking for an in-law.
The person who can win over someone like Li Deshan is probably a member of the royal family, and among the royal family, only Jia Huan, the emperor's close relatives, is not married yet.
It seems that General Manager Li is here to find out more.
After Zhao Shu figured it out, he thought about his family's status and felt that marrying Jia Huan was not a big deal.
Although Jia Huan is not Jia Zheng's direct son, he strives for his own success. It is said that he is very popular with Jia Ke. If he and Jia Huan become in-laws, although he will be isolated in the court, he will be safe and sound. This is
A great thing.
So Zhao Shu pretended to ask: "Why did the chief manager ask about this matter? Is there any good match who wants to marry the little girl?"
After hearing this, Li Deshan smiled and said: "I won't hide it from Mr. Zhao. King Kang is now old. Both the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor are very worried about King Kang's marriage. I heard that Mr. Zhao has a daughter with good looks, so he sent me here.
Check your tone."
After Zhao Shu heard this, he thought that it was indeed the case. So he pretended to think for a while and then said: "I have also heard about King Kang's character. He is a virtuous gentleman. My daughter can marry King Kang, that is
She is so blessed. Please go back and report to the Emperor. We will naturally not dare to disobey the Emperor's orders."
After listening to this, Li Deshan's smile became even brighter.
Next, Zhao Shu kept Li Deshan for use in the palace. In the evening, the two exchanged cups and drank a lot of wine. Then did they send Li Deshan to the table? He asked the eunuch next to him to take care of Li Deshan and return to the palace.
Although Li Deshan had drunk some wine, he was still sober. He rushed out of Zhao Shu's house, immediately took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out a few pills of hangover medicine, and swallowed it wholeheartedly.
When Li Deshan returned to the palace, he hurriedly ordered the young eunuch to bring him face wash. He sobered up and washed the smell of alcohol from his face, then changed his clothes and returned to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.
Jia Ke had not gone to the harem at this time. He was in the bedroom in the Yangxin Hall, reading an unknown book.
Li Deshan stepped forward and saluted Jia Ke first, and then stood beside Jia Ke and respectfully told Jia Ke the ins and outs of his visit to Zhao Shu's Mansion.
Jia Ke nodded after hearing this, quite satisfied.
Then he summoned a young eunuch and asked him to go to Kangning Palace and report the results of the matter to the Supreme Emperor Jia Zheng.
If Jia Zheng has no objection, he will personally issue an order to marry Jia Huan tomorrow.
After receiving the order, the young eunuch quickly ran to Kangning Palace and reported the whole story to Jia Zheng. Naturally, Jia Zheng had no objections and agreed on the spot.
After Jia Ke received Jia Zheng's reply, he immediately asked Li Deshan to draft an imperial decree conferring marriage and stamp it with a jade seal.
Then ask Li Deshan to deliver the imperial edict to Zhao Shu's house tomorrow morning.
After Jia Ke finished handling these matters, he returned to Naren Gaowa's place in the harem to rest.
As for this period of time, why did Jia Ke often go to Naren Gaowa's place to rest?
The main reason was that Naren Gaowa thought that during this period of war between the two countries, her status might be very embarrassing.
Naren Gaowa didn't want to fall out of favor, so she said, but Jia Ke said that if she rested here, she would change her previous unruly character and become gentle and considerate. Jia Ke was a little surprised by Naren Gaowa's sudden change, so she often
Come to her to rest.
Jia Ke arrived at the Changchun Palace in a Luan chariot, and were greeted by Naren Gaowa and entered the dormitory together.
Needless to say, after that, Naren Gaowa personally helped Jia Ke bathe and change clothes, and then the two of them entered the bedroom for a while.
After the clouds and mist cleared, Naren Gaowa crawled on Jiake's chest, hesitating a little, and finally gritted her teeth and asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder how the battle is going ahead now?"
Jia Ke immediately became gloomy after hearing this. Jia Ke had repeatedly emphasized that no political interference was allowed in the harem. Unexpectedly, Naren Gaowa still didn't understand the rules like this.
Jia Ke wanted to scold Naren Gaowa again, but when she saw his drooping eyes, she softened her heart.
"I know you are concerned about your father, but you don't have to worry. Your father did not go to the front line in person this time, but his general Meng He was in charge of military affairs."
After hearing this, Naren Gaowa finally felt relieved.
The next day, Li Deshan took some time off and went straight to Zhao Shu's house with the imperial edict.
After Li Deshan left last night, Zhao Shu talked about the matter with his wife and revealed his thoughts to his wife.
This lady was also born into a powerful family, and she was used to these marriages. Naturally, she was very satisfied after hearing Zhao Shu's idea. She also heard that King Kang liked reading very much, and she was a good match for her daughter.
And yesterday, Zhao Shu got another hint from Li Deshan and knew that Jia Ke's order might come this morning. So Zhao Shu did not go to the Ministry of Personnel today, but waited at home for Jia Ke's order.
Sure enough, at three o'clock in the morning, Li Deshan rode a tall horse and led dozens of followers to Zhao Shu's house.
Then the servant came to report that the general manager Li Deshan had arrived at the door with a decree.
Zhao Shu immediately ordered someone to open the middle door and greeted him personally.
After Zhao Shu welcomed Li Deshan to the lobby, the incense table had been set up.
Then Zhao Shu took the young and old at home and knelt behind the incense table, waiting for Li Deshan's announcement.
Li Deshan did not waste any time and immediately opened the imperial edict and read it out.
"The emperor is destined to be blessed by heaven, and the edict says: Zhao Ruixia, the daughter of Zhao Shu, the official minister, is gentle in nature and outstanding in talent and learning. She is a good match for my brother Jia Huan, King of Kang. Zhao Ruixia is specially granted the title of Princess Kang. I admire this."
After Li Deshan read out the imperial edict, he rerolled it, then walked around the incense table and delivered it to Zhao Shu before helping Zhao Shu up.
"Congratulations, Master Zhao. From now on, we will get closer."
Zhao Shu was also smiling, he was very satisfied with this marriage.
Next, Zhao Shu invited Li Deshan to have another banquet, but was postponed by Li Deshan.
Zhao Shu didn't try to persuade him anymore, but looked at the lady next to him. Zhao Shu's wife immediately took out a brocade bag from the maid next to her and handed it to Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu took the tips bag and said to Li Deshan with a smile: "The general manager didn't have time to drink when he came to my house this time. The general manager will take these things back and buy a cup of tea."
Li Deshan didn't refuse, he put the bag of tips into his sleeve with a smile, then bowed his hands to Zhao Shugong and left Zhao Shu's mansion with a smile.
After Li Deshan got on the horse, he took out the brocade bag from his sleeve and opened it. He saw that it was filled with jewels, the most conspicuous of which were three pearls as big as quail eggs.
Li Deshan was satisfied after seeing these things. You have worked hard to get a good marriage for Zhao Shujia.
Besides, the news that Jia Ke had granted marriage to Jia Huan quickly spread on Lemon Street.
Others just came to Liao for gossip, but for Zhao Guoji it was a huge blow.
A few days ago, Zhao Guoji was showing off among these people that his daughter was about to become Princess Kang. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Jia Huan was about to get married to the Minister of Civil Affairs. This made Zhao Guoji feel that his face had already been lost.
He was thrown to the ground and stepped on several times.
So the angry Zhao Guoji hurried back home and scolded his wife.
His wife, Mrs. Wang, was also a little aggrieved. She clearly heard that Mrs. Zhao had already acquiesced to the marriage, so why did Jia Ke marry Jia Huan in the blink of an eye?
Zhao Guoji felt that the matter could not end like this, as it was related to the future wealth of their family, so he immediately asked Wang to enter the palace again to ask what Dowager Zhao meant.
And Ms. Wang did not neglect it. After all, this was a life-long event for her daughter.
