Chapter 278: Human Affection is Warm and Cold
Besides, Jia Ke returned to the military aircraft after leaving the court, and continued to handle official business as if he was nothing. The other four people in the Military Aircraft Department were now with Jia Ke and felt a little embarrassed.
They didn't expect Jia Ke to be so favored, dozens of officials were imprisoned by the emperor, I'm afraid that there will be more than one luck, and now Jia Ke is the military aircraft foreman and their boss, and I am afraid that it will be a little troublesome to deal with official business in the future, but the matter has come to this, and they have to resign themselves to fate, and although Jia Ke is the military aircraft foreman, as long as the four of them have been making decisions, Jia Ke cannot change it without authorization.
When it was almost noon, a little eunuch suddenly came to the military plane, still holding a yellow holy decree in his hand.
Jia Ke and the others knew the emperor at a glance, and they were afraid that they had some advantages to convey, otherwise it would be impossible to come to deliver the holy decree again at noon just after the end of the morning dynasty.
Liu Yu came to the little eunuch first, he also learned the lesson of yesterday, and he no longer dared to give these eunuchs a face, seeing him respectfully arched his hand and asked: "This little father-in-law, coming here with a holy decree, isn't it the emperor who has something important." ”
This little eunuch was a little flattered for a while when he saw that Liu Yu was so respectful and polite to him, you must know that these Wenchen used to ignore them, and looked at them as if they were looking at some pickled things.
The little eunuch also hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Lord Liu, you are really too polite." The slave came this time to deliver a decree to Lord Jia at the behest of the emperor. ”
Liu Yu looked at Jia Ke in surprise when he heard this, this Jia Ke is really favored by the emperor, and if he continues to do so to this extent, he will soon become a powerful minister of the government and the opposition.
Jia Ke was originally sitting on the innermost upper seat, and suddenly heard the little eunuch say that the emperor had sent a decree to him. Li Wei stood up from his seat, came to the little eunuch and arched his hand and said, "This little father-in-law, Jia Ke is below, I don't know what the emperor's will is." ”
When the little eunuch saw Jia Ke coming, he immediately said, "Lord Jia, the emperor has an order. After saying that, he held the decree in his hand high above his head.
Jia Ke didn't dare to slack off, and immediately knelt on the ground, arched his hand and said, "Minister, Jia Ke takes the order." ”
Jia Ke fell to his knees, and several other ministers of the Military Aircraft Department could only be behind Jia Ke.
The little eunuch opened the holy decree and recited it aloud: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Within half a month from now on, Jia Ke will take the place of me to dispose of the government and government. ”
After listening to the holy decree, Jia Ke quickly raised his hands above his head respectfully and said, "Minister, Jia Ke accepts the decree." ”
The little eunuch gently put the holy decree in Jia Ke's hand, and then said flatteringly to Jia Ke: "Hou Ye Jia, congratulations to Hou Ye, the slave is really irreplaceable in the emperor's heart, and I will ask Hou Ye to take care of one or two when I have the opportunity in the future." ”
Jia Ke was not proud of this, he said with a smile in the Holy Decree: "The little father-in-law is by the emperor's side, he is the emperor's close person, where can I compare." Let's take care of each other in the future. ”
After the two finished speaking, the two laughed to themselves, and everything was silent.
After Jia Ke received the order, his heart was a little happy, since yesterday, he was worried about whether to coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes, it was a rare indecision since he crossed, mainly because the old emperor was really good to him, people have feelings, and Jia Ke is no exception.
Now that the emperor has more trust in him, then he can only lie dormant for a while, consolidate his foundation, and control more troops, and then even if all the civil servants in the world oppose him, it will not help. What's more, he has long been clear about Wenchen's urine. As long as he gains power, the literati of the world will run over and gather around him to do things for him. You don't see Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, how many Wenchen have you killed? After that, there were not more literati who ran out to become officials, and they were not worried about Zhu Yuanzhang's brutality at all.
The first thing to deal with next is these vacant official positions, which cannot be decided by Jia Ke, and must be decided by the emperor himself. In order not to delay the affairs of the court, Jia Ke, in the name of the minister of the military aircraft foreman, ordered the yamen to replace the imprisoned officials with deputy positions, temporarily handle the affairs of the court, and must not let the court be in turmoil.
The other four military planes are now in front of Jia Ke, and they are no longer able to raise their heads at all, they are now just personnel who cooperate with Jia Ke in handling official business, and they have lost the right to decide on the affairs of the military aircraft department. The status has dropped a lot from the previous day.
In the afternoon, the shock of the court spread throughout the capital, and people were dumbfounded about this matter, but they didn't expect that only one Jia Ke would send dozens of officials to prison, which shows that Jia Ke is as stable as Mount Tai in the court, and the emperor has great trust in him. So before night, the gates of Rongguo Mansion and Wuyang Marquis Mansion were already full of officials who came to give gifts, and everyone now saw the form clearly, at least when the emperor was still in power, Jia Ke was destined to preside over the government for a long time. Then they don't hurry up and maintain a good relationship with Jia Ke, otherwise Jia Ke is in charge of the court, where will they have the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune.
Qin Keqing heard a report from the next person in the Wuyang Hou Mansion, saying that the door had been surrounded by gift-giving officials, Qin Keqing was not surprised by this, since marrying into the Wuyang Hou Mansion, there has been an endless stream of people giving gifts every day, but there seem to be a lot of people today.
Qin Keqing has always been not involved in this kind of thing, and by the way, he asked his family to spread the word and tell the people outside that Jia Ke was not at home, and there was something to do for them to come back later.
On the side of Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang is completely different from Qin Keqing's approach, as long as someone comes to give a gift, she will accept it with peace of mind, and she doesn't care what the person who gave the gift is asking for.
And these things that she collected did not enter the treasury of Rongguo Mansion, but into her own private treasury.
In the afternoon, Jia Zheng came back from the yamen, came directly to the outer study, and then sent a small servant to the Wuyang Marquis Mansion to send an order, so that Jia Ke would go to the outer study to see him immediately after he returned.
Jia Ke finished handling the day's official business in the afternoon, and then left the military aircraft department and returned to the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, just about to sit down and drink a cup of tea, he heard that Jia Zheng had an order, and asked him to go to the study outside the Rongguo Mansion to see him immediately after he returned.
Jia Ke immediately understood what Jia Zheng meant, and it seemed that Jia Zheng was a little worried about what was happening in the court today, so he went to find out.
When Jia Ke came to Jia Zhengwai's study in Rongguo Mansion, there was already a small servant waiting at the door, and when he saw Jia Ke coming, he reported the news to him on the one hand, and raised the curtain for him to invite him into the house.
Jia Ke entered the house and saw Jia Zheng sitting upright in front of him, Jia Ke hurriedly stepped forward to salute him, and when Jia Zheng saw him, he shouted angrily: "Damn the beast won't kneel down for me." ”
Although Jia Ke doesn't know what Jia Zheng is crazy about, in feudal society, you are a product of the imperial court, and when your father asks you to kneel at home, you don't dare to have any resistance.
Jia Ke then knelt on the ground again, and said to Jia Zheng: "I don't know what mistake my son has made to make my father so angry." ”
"The good deeds you did in the court today put dozens of ministers in prison at once. You still let our Jiafu live in the future without living in Beijing. Jia Zheng was ostracized by his colleagues in the yamen this afternoon, and laughed at him, and he came back this time to make Jia Ke angry.
Jia Ke couldn't cry or laugh when he heard Jia Zheng's words, so he had to explain to him: "Where did my father hear this rumor? The son has great ability, and he doesn't have the ability to put dozens of ministers in prison at once. ”
Although Jia Zheng was still very annoyed, he felt very reasonable after listening to Jia Ke's words, at that time, the emperor was still in the court, where did Jia Ke have any power, and put dozens of ministers in prison. So he asked angrily, "What's going on then?" Now it is rumored in the officialdom that you are leaning towards the government and the opposition to control the government and politics, and you have put dozens of ministers who do not agree with you into prison. ”
Jia Ke, when you hear this, you know that this is made by Wenchen's side, except for them, no one has ever been so shameless. But he also had to explain to Jia Zheng: "These ministers have no emperor, and they forced the emperor to set up a prince in the court, and the emperor was furious because of this, and all these people were imprisoned in the prison at once, waiting to be released." ”
In fact, things are much more complicated than what Jia Ke said, but Jia Ke doesn't need to explain so much to Jia Zheng, just tell him the general thing.
After Jia Zheng listened to Jia Ke's words, his face also changed a little, you must know that the matter of establishing the crown prince has always been a major event at the top of the imperial court. It is still small that these ministers disobeyed the emperor and were imprisoned in the prison because of this, and in the future, I am afraid that these people's careers will be broken.
"Then why do people say it's because of you?" Jia Zheng was still a little puzzled.
Jia Ke didn't know how to explain to him at this time, could it be that these ministers thought he was a powerful minister? So he said to Jia Zheng: "This involves the struggle between the civil and military factions, our family has always been a figure on the noble side, but now I am in charge of the government." Which Wenchen are naturally unwilling? That's why there was a fight, and it wasn't a big deal, and my father didn't have to worry about it. As long as the emperor favors our family, these people are just clowns. ”
Jia Zheng put his heart down at this time, but he still asked uneasily: "Is there really no big problem?" ”
"It's really no big deal, today the emperor also let me take full authority to deal with the government affairs, you look at the gift-givers at our door, if there is really something going on in our family, these people outside will not know where to go for a long time." Jia Ke's concern about Jia Zheng is actually understandable, after all, he is only a fifth-grade official and is not qualified to participate in the major events of the DPRK.
After listening to Jia Ke's comfort, Jia Zheng was completely relieved, he also knew that people were warm and cold. When he returned home just now, so many officials in front of the door came to give gifts. If Jia Ke was going to fall, these people would have been hiding a long time ago, and it seems that Jia Ke is not only fine, but even more dazzling than before.
Jia Zheng thought about his flustered appearance just now, and his face felt a little red, so he pretended to cough, and said with a majestic face: "Although the emperor is favored, you must also work hard to do errands, don't live up to the emperor's trust." ”
"My son understands that the emperor is kind to our family, and my son will definitely repay the emperor's grace with death." Jia Ke said categorically, and he didn't know how true or false he said.
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Jia Zheng was satisfied and let him out.
