The three scholars glanced at each other, then began to whisper to each other, and then nodded imperceptibly. In the end, they each returned to the class.

When the Emperor saw them go down, he asked, "What do you three think?" Is this the legendary heirloom jade seal? ”

Li Lu, Yan Mu, and Pan Yong went out of class together, kowtowed to the emperor and said: "The ministers think that this is the jade seal of the country, and there is no doubt about it." ”

When the Emperor heard that they had confirmed, the tension in his heart disappeared without a trace. With the confirmation of these three well-educated ministers, then this heirloom jade seal should be foolproof.

The emperor nodded, thinking about it, he felt that it was just the three of them, and it was still a little unsafe, and said to Wei Mu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites: "Wei Mu, you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, a Confucian who is full of learning, you come up and take a look at this jade seal." ”

Wei Mu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, heard the emperor say that he had found the jade seal of the heirloom just now, and he was already impatient to go up and take a look. It's just that the emperor didn't call him by name, and he had no choice but to stand below. Now I heard that the emperor asked him to go up to appraise the treasure seal, how can he bear it? Three steps and two steps came to the front of the imperial case, and he didn't see the outside and directly took the jade seal of the country in front of him and played it carefully, holding it in his hand while stroking, while sighing, he forgot the time.

The emperor saw him holding the jade seal on the throne, and kept shaking his head and sighing, his heart was tight, could it be that there was something wrong with this jade seal? But the other three scholars did not raise any objections, but he saw the clues, so he asked: "Wei Aiqing, could it be that there is something wrong with this jade seal?" ”

Wei Mu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had already heard the emperor's inquiry, so he came to his senses, hurriedly put down the jade seal in his hand, walked down the imperial steps, and knelt on the ground: "Long live Qiyu, I think that when the minister looks at this treasure seal, it must be the jade seal of the country." ”

The emperor was relieved when he said this, and then he picked up the jade seal of the country, and then carefully put it back into the wooden box. Only then did he say to the civil and military officials below: "Do you know where this jade seal came from? ”

Where do all the civil and military officials know? They could only shake their heads together and watch the emperor wait for his answer.

The emperor unhurriedly took out a letter from the imperial case, and then said to them: "This is Xuanhua, the commander of the two towns of Kaiping, Jia Ke sent it to me, he went north to the grassland this time, and the Arslen Khan seized this treasure from his royal tent. ”

When the ministers below heard this, they couldn't help but look at Jia Zheng at the end. And Jia Zheng was also stunned at this time. He didn't expect that his son would be so capable that he would be able to capture this treasure in the royal tent of the Tatar Arslen Khan.

It seems that yesterday, Dai Quan didn't lie to himself, there is really a great happy event coming to Rongguo Mansion, thinking of this, Jia Zheng couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

The emperor ignored the ministers below and continued: "I told Jia Ke at that time that as long as he has meritorious service, I will not hesitate to reward the marquis. Because of my words, he fought bloodily. Only then did I bring back this treasure, and I will fulfill my promise now, wear power, and pass on the decree. ”

Dai Quan, who had been by the emperor's side, took out a roll of yellow silk from the emperor's imperial case, then stood in front of the imperial case, gently opened the holy decree, and then began to read: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Since ancient times, the emperor has pacified the world, and the power of the military ministers has also relied on the power of the master!" Jia Ke to the division of the small brigade, deep into the barren, two attacks on the enemy chieftain, the grassland shook, welcome back the jade seal of the country, so that the treasures of the Celestial Dynasty returned to their homeland, this merit is in the community, the benefit is in the thousand autumns, not heavy reward is not enough to comfort his heart, specially added Jia Ke as the Marquis of Wuyang, the descendants of the three generations of the lord, the first to descend and other raids, the Xuanfu town festival envoy, the festival of the Xuanfu military and political power. The Marquis of Wuyang Mansion was built and 32,000 acres of land were given. Chin this. ”

After listening to the holy decree below, Jia Zheng was already so excited that he couldn't get it any more. He crawled to the middle, and said bitterly: "Minister, Jia Zhengdai, thank the emperor Longen, long live." ”

The emperor looked at Jia Zheng crying and gratefully on the throne, and couldn't help but smile and nodded, this is what it looks like for a courtier.

The emperor then said to the people below: "Now the jade seal of the country is returned, and in the future, the edict of the throne and the canonization of the crown prince will all need to have this treasure seal to correct the situation." ”

All the civil and military officers in the main hall knelt on the ground together and said in unison: "The ministers obey the order." ”

At this time, the prince standing at the front of the courtiers was a little uncomfortable, and now that the jade seal of the country has been recovered, the emperor has publicly stated that he will need this treasure seal for the crown prince in the future, and his position is a little embarrassing. Because he was made the crown prince not long after he was born, he can't now ask the emperor to write a new edict and stamp the jade seal of the country.

Thinking of this, a trace of dark clouds flashed in the crown prince's heart, what does the emperor mean by this? It's a little unpleasant to see him as a prince.

After the emperor announced this, all the ministers were excited, and there was nothing else to do to the emperor, and the emperor announced the dissolution of the dynasty.

At this time, Dai Quan did not leave with the emperor, but walked a few steps to Jia Zheng's side, and said to Jia Zheng with a smile on his face: "Lord Jia, how about our family not talking nonsense." ”

Jia Zheng hurriedly saluted Dai Quan, "Thank you for telling the Prime Minister yesterday, the Rongguo Mansion will definitely remember the kindness of the Prime Minister." ”

Dai Quan saw that the goal had been achieved, so he sent the body in his hand to Jia Zheng, "This is the emperor's holy decree, Lord Jia will take it back and worship it well." As for the seal letter of the Marquis of Wuyang, the emperor will naturally cast it and send it to Xuanfu Town. ”

Jia Zheng took the holy decree with both hands, and only felt that this holy decree was as heavy as a thousand gold, and this holy decree was not only the glory of Jia Ke, but also for the declining Rongguo Mansion. This is a good medicine for diseases. From now on, Rongguo Mansion can be regarded as returning to the circle of the capital's big families.

If the Rongguo Mansion was only a medium-sized family in the past, then with this holy decree, the Rongguo Mansion is now one of the top wealthy families in the capital.

Jia Zheng took the holy decree and returned to Rongguo Mansion in a daze, and only then did he wake up when he arrived at the gate of the mansion. He didn't go through the side door, and ordered his subordinates to open the middle door.

After a while, the door of Rongguo Mansion slowly opened, Jia Zheng was so excited that his face was flushed, he held the holy decree in his hands, and strode straight into Rongxi Hall from the main gate.

Jia Zheng has such a big formation, and he has already alarmed the whole Jia Mansion. Mrs. Wang first greeted Jia Zheng in front of Rongxi Hall, wanting to see what made him so excited.

Jia Zheng didn't say anything when he saw Mrs. Wang, but said to the maid next to her: "Go and invite Aunt Zhou too, she is qualified to listen to what I want to announce today." This sentence seems to be for Mrs. Wang.

When Mrs. Wang heard him say this, a cold light appeared in her eyes, and then she nodded imperceptibly. The little maid ran out quickly.

Jia Zheng stood in front of the Rongxi Hall with the Holy Purpose in his hand, and then an old woman walked out from behind, she quietly came to Jia Zheng's side, and asked softly: "Master, the old lady asked me to ask: What is going on?" There was such a big commotion at home. ”

Jia Zheng squinted at the old lady with the holy decree, and then said to him: "If you go back to the old lady, you will say that our Jiafu has received the emperor's great grace." I'll go to the inner house and report to the old lady in a moment. When the old woman heard this, she hurried back to the back house.

was talking about work, Aunt Zhou had already come to Rongxi Hall from his small courtyard, and Jia Zheng saw that people were almost there. Then he said to them: "Today, the emperor asked me to go to the court, it turned out to be a great joy. The eldest brother made great contributions in the frontier, and found the jade seal of the country that had been lost for many years, and the emperor Longyan Dayue passed down the holy decree in the court just now, and named our eldest brother as the Marquis of Wuyang, and his descendants attacked the lord for three generations, and then he was demoted to the rank of the lord. And next to our Rongguo Mansion, build the Wuyang Marquis Mansion for the eldest brother. ”

As soon as this news was announced, the entire Jia Mansion was already shaken. This is worth it, the original little concubine is now the Marquis of Wuyang, and has become the most noble person in Jiafu except for Jia's mother.

When Aunt Zhou heard the news next to her, she felt that she was about to collapse on the ground as soon as she was weak, and Xia Mai next to her hurriedly helped her, and said to Aunt Zhou excitedly: "Auntie, our uncle is now the Hou Ye." ”

Aunt Zhou held Xia Mai with both hands and kept crying excitedly, but she just couldn't say a word.

Jia Zheng came to Aunt Zhou and said to her: "You gave birth to a good son, and we are afraid that Jiafu will live with him in the future." I'm here to thank you in advance. ”

Aunt Zhou's face was full of tears with excitement now, where could she still answer Jia Zheng's words, she could only keep nodding.

After Jia Zheng finished saying this, he said to everyone: "Everyone should go back and do their part, don't mess with the rules." Our Jiafu is not what it used to be. ”

After Jia Zheng said this, he went to the main courtyard where Jia's mother lived, and just arrived in front of the courtyard where Jia's mother lived.

As soon as Jia Zhenggang entered the courtyard, several old ladies with status came to congratulate him, all saying that Jia Zhengsheng was a good son, and Rongguo Mansion would inevitably be more prosperous from now on. Jia Zhengdu smiled and nodded, you give them a gift in return, in fact, he is also very proud in his heart now.

Although Jia Zheng lives in Rongxi Hall, after all, he still has his brother, in fact, he has always been worried that one day his brother will come back, so he has to abdicate and make way for Xian, and then move to a small courtyard outside Rongguo Mansion like Jia Yu.

Although Jia Ke made some credit before, he also got a knighthood. But he is only a third-grade general, and he is not enough to compete with Jia Yu. But now it's different, Jia Ke is already a super-grade Wuyang Hou, no matter what, Jia Yu will never have the ability to return to Rongguo Mansion again. Now he is completely relieved and full of confidence in what the future holds.

Jia Zheng came to the big room where Jia's mother lived, several girls rushed over to open the curtain, and as soon as Jia Zheng entered the main hall, he heard Jia's mother's hearty laughter. Jia Zheng hadn't seen Jia Mu so happy for a long time.

As soon as Jia Zheng came in, a room full of maids and grandmothers retreated with interest, and only a few cronies were left around Jia's mother.

Jia's mother obviously knew the news, and when she saw Jia Zheng giving her a gift, she also said to Jia Zheng with a smile on her face: "Get up quickly and tell me about today's court." ”

Jia Zheng hurriedly got up, came to Jia's mother's side and said excitedly: "Mother, today in the court, the emperor praised our eldest brother in front of hundreds of civil and military officials. praised him for his raw flesh and hairlessness, recaptured the national jade seal, and issued an edict in court to divide our eldest brother as the Marquis of Wuyang, and the envoy of Xuanfu Town. ”

Jia Zheng paused and said: "Mother, didn't you see the shocked look of the Manchu Dynasty at that time, when I came out of the Taihe Palace, the way they looked at me was not completely different from before. Our family is now up again. ”
