Brother Rong has never seen the so-called Long Yan furious before.

Today I really saw it and heard Emperor Xiande reprimanding:

"Running around and making friends with others will only drag you down, and you will waste your time and energy to pay for the misfortune. You must make up your mind, stay safe, and don't act recklessly. Otherwise, my reputation will be ruined, and even Prince Zhongshun will not be able to save you."

Brother Rong squeezed his eyes hard, trying to squeeze out a few tears. He lowered his head and blinked for a long time before blinking out a few tears.

While his tears were falling, he raised his head and said sadly: "I am timid and have no guidance from my father. I am so confused and disrespectful that I don't want to do it. However, Lord Ping'an Prefecture told me about old things, so I can only sweep the house and collect the money to return it to the household urgently."

I hope for divine grace, but I just ask for a gentle punishment."

After Jia Rong finished speaking, Emperor Xiande smiled instead.

He was laughed out of anger.

It turned out that early that morning, before the court was over, Jia Rong pulled out 20,000 taels of cash from his family treasury and parked it at Dayan Gate. Without any other officials accompanying him, he only knelt down in court clothes in front of Dayan Gate to plead guilty and enter the palace.

This frightened all the officials, and they all thought something big had happened. Emperor Xiande was even more annoyed by this weird behavior, so he sent someone to arrest the bastard into the South Study Room, and that was how the conversation just happened.

.

Xian De laughed angrily and said, "Since you have returned the money, you just sent it to the Ministry of Revenue. Why are you blocking the palace gate?"

Of course there is a reason for this. The Dayan Gate connects the palace with the Six Ministries, the Zongren Mansion, the Supervisory Office and other yamen. Putting a few boxes of cash outside the Dayan Gate is to let everyone know that I have paid back the money and apologized.

Son.

Just to show off for everyone to know, the Jia family is now timid and still obedient.

Brother Rong said innocently: "I just want to go to the palace first to plead guilty. I will send the silver directly to the East Corridor after His Majesty's instructions."

"What's your crime?" Xian De asked angrily.

Jia Rong sadly told the story about Ping'an Prefecture's Jiedu envoy holding Jia's family hostage. While talking, she cried and shouted that she was sorry for Dayan and that she was incompetent in running the family and was responsible for the cultivation of His Majesty and the Thirteenth Master. "I'm sorry for you, Your Majesty, I have

I am guilty of betraying Heaven's grace."

Listening to this bastard's evasive talk, Xian De, the most tolerant person, actually twitched the corners of his mouth at this moment. He hummed: "This matter will be investigated and investigated."

The power of the Supreme Emperor is gradually disappearing. Emperor Xiande can be said to have great power, and the past personnel matters are also being calculated and held accountable.

Xian De said: "What are you still doing on your knees? Get up and speak. It rained heavily in the south last month, and you did a great job in opening the river. I want to transfer you to the Taihe Gate to be on duty. You are not in Beijing on the 13th, and the water conservancy camp and the farm house need you to take care of it."

, you should first be appointed as the first-class bodyguard of the clan prince's palace. Now that you are self-proclaimed guilty, we will discuss your merits and demerits after the investigation is clear."

Jia Rong was dumbfounded.

What's the meaning?

I was originally planned to be promoted? Now I’m not promoted?

Brother Rong saw that the emperor's face was still majestic, and he didn't know what to answer for a moment.

The emperor was just looking at his expression carefully. Everyone has his own thoughts, and even if he is in an extreme position, he still cannot do whatever he wants. It is difficult to take care of yourself, but it is even harder to take care of others, and it is even harder to control the world.

Although Xiande was not sure about the real thoughts of the Jia family and Jia Rong, and his behavior in blocking the palace gate was a bit bad, he was not really angry.

At least Jia Rong's behavior today showed something. The sword of imperial power is about to completely escape from the hands of the Supreme Emperor.

Jia Rong expressed his stance, which means that the former Hachigong also expressed his stance.

So when Xian De looked at Jia Rong, his face was annoyed, but his heart was satisfied.

Seeing that Jia Rong continued to stay, Xiande said angrily: "The matter of Ping'an Prefecture will be investigated by Lin Ruhai, the censor of the Inspectorate."

Brother Rong suddenly came to his senses and shouted: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming."

This kid...

The Jia family is really lucky. Those who receive the guidance of the immortals will know how many things they have hidden for the royal family.

Xiande hummed, "I ordered you to write a farming book when you left the capital on the 13th. Don't be lazy and slip up in front of me. Go back as soon as possible."

"..."

Jia Rong walked around the palace wall corridor and breathed a sigh of relief after exiting the Gate of Supreme Harmony. He then passed through the Meridian Gate, Duanmen Gate, and Tiananmen Gate, and looked at the spacious corridor outside Tiananmen Gate, and the Dayan Gate on the opposite side.

Lei from Ping'an Prefecture will self-destruct now, and when the situation becomes more complicated in the future, he will not become a reason for others to persecute the Jia family.

After thinking about this, Jia Rong's steps became lighter while walking in the corridor of Tiananmen Square.

After passing through the Dayan Gate, Brother Rong ordered people to transport 20,000 taels of silver to the Hubu Yamen on Liubu Street to the east of the corridor.

After such a trip, it was already late when Jia Rong returned to Ningguo Mansion.

I met Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and others first and talked about the matter together. Jia She, who had always been uncomfortable with seeing Jia Rong, actually looked kind and approachable after hearing this.

"After all, he is suspected of being a peddler of officialdom. Now that he is being investigated like a sea of ​​people, won't his reputation be damaged?" Jia Zheng sighed.

"The Lin family has his own sense of propriety, and besides..." Jia Rong paused, glanced at a few people and said: "If the governor of Ping'an Prefecture is smart, he can only bear the reputation of extortion at this time, and other... It will be handled lightly.”

"this……"

"The emperor will not commit a major crime at this time."

In the final analysis, everything Xian De did was to compete for power with the Supreme Emperor. All restructuring measures were, on the one hand, to win over clan relatives and train new officials, and on the other hand, to attack the Supreme Emperor's old ministers.

This is the so-called three things for a new official to do when he takes office. He must first break the system and rules established by the previous official, then replace the people promoted by the previous official and his close associates, and promote subordinates who can fully obey his orders. Only after doing these can he truly take charge of everything.

After several people had discussed it, it was getting late. Jia Rong returned home and was eating in Ke Qing's room. At the right time, a maid came to Cong Lvtang to summon her.

In the room, Qin Keqing held the jewels, all the birds showed strange colors, and all their eyes fell on Uncle Rong.

Uncle Rong coughed lightly and said, "I think the princess heard about what I did in the imperial city and summoned me to ask questions."

Ke Qing smiled stiffly. "It's getting late. Master, please hurry up and don't make your wife wait too long."

Brother Rong took a few bites casually, put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "It's getting late, I'll go over and answer the question and then come back."

"Your Majesty, please ask Que'er to change her clothes and go away!"

"It's time to be more formal. I'm going to change my clothes." Uncle Rong looked at Ke Qing with a slightly angry look on his face. He thought it was his grandma who had been neglecting him recently. He leaned over and whispered, "Ke'er asked Ling'er to come over and prepare some clothes." Warm water, let’s talk in detail when I come back.”

Qin Keqing's face turned red. She didn't know what the uncle had in mind. Although the aunts and sisters in the uncle's room were generally close to each other, Han Xiangling became more and more prominent, and her appearance became more and more similar to that of Grandma Rong as she got older.

If Xiang Ling had put on Grandma Rong's clothes and dressed up carefully, it would be difficult for outsiders to tell the difference even if they looked at her from a distance. The uncle specifically asked Xiang Ling to come over to serve him, and he didn't have any ulterior motives.

However, Grandma Rong's temperament never knew how to refuse Uncle Rong, so she had to lower her head and agree. She said softly: "Uncle, come back early. We...will wait in the room."

Uncle Rong was so happy that he took Grandma Rong's hand and pressed a kiss on Grandma Rong's face.

"I'll be back as soon as I go."

"Hmph..." Grandma Rong hummed softly, watching the uncle leave the room. When he saw his aunt in the room again, the maids all looked at her, but Qing put on Grandma Rong's majesty and said politely: "What else are you looking at? Please."

Ling'er from the east yard came over and brought the barrels from the wing into the room."

Bao Zhu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "The maids will ask Sister Ling'er to go first. Ruizhu and I will stay in the room to serve grandma."

Que'er suddenly raised his head and stared at Baozhu. He gritted his teeth and forced out a sentence through his teeth: "Master is used to Que'er serving him. The two sisters have to take care of things at home tomorrow, so don't be tired."

Although Bao Zhu was an aunt, she didn't dare to show off in front of Que'er, let alone in front of Grandma Rong. She could only whisper in a gentle voice: "Thank you for your hard work, sister Que'er."

Qin Keqing listened to the chattering of several girls on the side and couldn't help but frowned and said: "Baozhu, Ruizhu will go back today."

While several people in the Ningguo Mansion were still discussing these trivial matters, Jia Rong had already walked through the night through Yimen and arrived at Huifang Garden. In front of him were two little maids holding lanterns, while Uncle Rong followed the path by the stream to the west.

Stepping onto the corridor, there was already a maid waiting there.

"Uncle Xiao Rong is here. Your Majesty is waiting for you in the study."

Jia Rong asked the maid holding the lamp to wait outside the corridor with a lantern, while he and the maid beside the princess of Beijing County entered the Green Hall.

Why is it here?

Uncle Rong followed the maid from the podium of Conglutang downstairs and stopped in the front yard. He looked at the direction where the maid was leading the way and couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.

"Uncle Xiao Rong?"

"Nothing, just continue to lead the way." Brother Rong said with an embarrassed smile.

Sure enough, the maid entered the podium and turned into the study next to it.

It's really that study room. It's the study room where Brother Rong and Aunt Zhu listen to the crowing of frogs. Didn't it say it was temporarily closed? Why is the Princess of Beijing County in this room?

Jia Rong went in and saw a beautiful and dignified woman sitting beside the familiar long desk in the corner of the study. The woman's hair was covered with colorful ornaments, and various gems and jade reflected the colorful light under the candlelight.

She held the book in her hand and turned it over gently. The strange thing was that no matter what movement she made, the hairpin pendant on the woman's head did not move.

Jia Rong was used to seeing beauties in action, and now looking at this static and dignified person, Jia Rong could not help but be in a trance.

As beautiful as the person in the painting, more beautiful than the person in the painting.

Brother Rong greeted him softly, and saw the other person slowly raising his head, but the accessories on his head still didn't move.

The princess of Beijing County put down the manual in her hand and was helped up by the maid next to her. She chuckled and said, "Brother Rong is here."

Jia Rong asked back: "How comfortable are you getting used to living here?"

"This place is just like the south of the Yangtze River. There is no need to feel uncomfortable. Your wife, Sister Feng and others also greet each other in a friendly way, and she feels more comfortable than in the prince's palace." Miss Zhen said quietly, but then she felt that she had lost her words and changed her words quickly: "Listen

People in the mansion mentioned that Brother Rong ordered 20,000 taels of silver this morning and sent it to the Ministry of Revenue, and he also went to the palace to plead guilty?"

"It's true." Jia Rong replied.
