Chapter 307: The Heart of the People

When the emperor saw Dai Quan breaking into the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, he was furious in his heart, but because the creditor's rights were represented by the emperor, he didn't dare to have any embarrassment, so he didn't show any traces on his face, but said to Dai Quan with a smile: "Father-in-law Dai came here, isn't it my father's will." ”

Although Dai Quan was arrogant, he didn't dare to be rude to the emperor. It's just that now he is holding the Holy Decree of the Emperor Taishang in his hand, and he can't kowtow to him. So he just nodded and said to the emperor: "The slave came this time to send a message to the emperor at the behest of the emperor." ”

"If your father has any will, you can just pass it on." The emperor still had a smile on his face.

As soon as the emperor saw Dai Quan open the holy decree, he hurriedly stepped down the imperial steps, came to Dai Quan, and knelt on the ground, "The emperor took the decree." ”

Dai Quan saw the emperor kneeling, so he read: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: The emperor has been in the political affairs at the beginning, and he is afraid that there will be a lack of consideration, and it is against the laws of the court to pardon the world's criminal ministers, but when he first ascended to the great treasure, officials below the third rank still act according to the emperor's will, and officials above the third grade cannot be moved lightly." Chin this. ”

The emperor knelt down and listened to the will of the emperor, and his heart was very uncomfortable. But he didn't dare to do anything, so he could only accept the will with a smile.

This will ostensibly agreed with the emperor's will, so that the sinners below the third grade could be reinstated according to the emperor's will, but in fact, it told the emperor that the emperor was wrong this time, but the emperor agreed to his matter because of the love between father and son and the emperor's first ascension to the throne. So it was the Emperor Taishang, and a loud slap hit the emperor in the face.

After Dai Quan finished his work, he saluted the emperor and swaggered away with his men. And the emperor stood there watching Dai Quan's arrogance, but there was nothing he could do.

The emperor turned around and suddenly saw Jia Ke standing calmly aside, in the emperor's opinion, Jia Ke was watching his joke, but he really had no way to take Jia Ke now.

I can only send someone to recover the holy decree that has just been passed down and redraft a copy. Then he threw it in front of Jia Ke without looking at it.

Jia Ke knelt down, picked up this holy decree, held it high above his head, and said loudly: "Minister, Jia Ke is edicted." ”

When the emperor heard this, he was furious, and shouted at Jia Ke: "Get out, you get out of here." ”

Jia Ke then bowed down and withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Hall with the holy decree, Dongnuan Pavilion, coming and going, Jia Ke was not rude at all, so that the emperor couldn't find the slightest fault, and it was not so easy to find his stubble.

After Jia Ke returned to the military aircraft, he found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and he didn't see Pan Yong at the scene, so he asked Tian Ye next to him: "Where did Master Pan go?" ”

Tian Ye said with a bad face: "Pan Yong has been taken down by the Emperor Taishang. For he deceived the king, and now he has been cut off from all his positions and thrown into a prison waiting to be released. ”

When Jia Ke heard this, he just said, "Oh. "Yes. didn't feel too strange about this, being a Pan Yong and going against the Emperor Taishang several times, this time it can be regarded as being held by the Emperor Taishang. Where can he escape again.

Tian Ye felt extremely frustrated in his heart at this time, these courtiers were sandwiched between the two emperors, and they didn't know what to do. If you take refuge in the emperor, you will not be at peace now, and if you take refuge in the emperor, you will not be at peace in the future, so where will these people go?

Tian Ye is now beginning to reconsider his position, he supported the emperor some time ago, firstly, because the emperor is indeed quite talented. The second is because the emperor is indeed old, and he is seriously ill and can no longer manage the government, and it is not good for the court to delay it like this, so he supports the emperor, and now it seems that he is still a little reckless, and he will remain neutral in the future and act with public intentions.

With the emperor's holy decree, Jia Ke turned around and said to several ministers of the Military Aircraft Department: "The emperor just issued an order, and the criminals below the third grade can be reinstated as appropriate. You draw up a list, and then send it to me, and after I approve it, I will send it to the emperor and let the emperor make a decision. ”

Seeing this situation, the remaining three ministers of military aircraft had nothing to do but agree.

Jia Ke saw that they had nothing to say, and then said: "Pan Yong, this time the rules of the Military Aircraft Department were broken, so the Emperor Taishang punished him. I don't want anything to happen to you. From now on, all the pieces must be reviewed by me before they can be sent to the emperor. If I don't know, but the twist is in front of the emperor, don't blame me for refuting it in the end. ”

Jia Ke knew that the remaining ministers of military aircraft were also from the emperor, so he reminded them and let them know that he Jia Ke was the foreman of this military aircraft department.

Lei Ying, as the emperor's hardcore, stood up and objected at this time, "Lord Jia, this is a little inappropriate, can't Emperor Jia even read any folds?" ”

Jia Ke glanced at him coldly, and then said: "What kind of excerpt does the emperor see, that is the emperor's business, how dare I interfere as a courtier?" However, if it has not passed through the Military Aircraft Department, the emperor's will, I will not recognize it. ”

After listening to Jia Ke's words, Lei Ying was angry, and at the same time, he also learned Jia Ke's toughness, this Jia Ke was put by the Emperor Taishang to the military aircraft to specifically balance the emperor, and there was no way for them. So I could only endure this breath and wait for Jia Ke to give color in the future

The emperor's first decree was refuted by Jia Ke, and the matter passed. But the impact of this incident could not be dissipated. Many ministers who had already defected to the emperor began to sway from side to side, and they no longer dared to stand up in support of the emperor openly.

And the Emperor Taishang re-established his prestige with this incident, attacked the emperor, and let the world see that although he was the emperor, he still firmly controlled the court.

And Jia Ke also established the prestige in this time, many Zaiye scholars knew that the emperor was recovering this time, and they were very dissatisfied, especially those who wanted to participate in this year's Enke's move, and they were very disgusted by this. This is clearly fighting with them for a way out.

But Jia Ke did not take the disturbances of the outside world to heart, and according to his usual habits, he did not go to the military aircraft in the afternoon. Instead, he went to the infantry commander Yamen to perform his duties as the commander of the nine gates, which was actually to go to the infantry commander Yamen and Fan Kang to discuss today's affairs and how to deal with them.

Fan Kang has been staying with Jia Ke for longer and longer, and has slowly understood Jia Ke's hidden strength, so he is more confident in Jia Ke's future, and now his main task is to be responsible for all the affairs of the infantry command yamen, and wait for Jia Ke to call him at any time to give him advice.

It's the same today, in the afternoon, I heard Jia Ke talk about the rejection of the emperor's will this morning.

After hearing this, Fan Kang immediately stood up and said to Jia Ke: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord." ”

"What good news do I have, I just offended the emperor today, I'm afraid it's a disaster, right?" Jia Ke had a smile on his face, and he didn't take this morning's rejection of the emperor's decree seriously.

Fan Kang said with a smile on his face: "Lord, the emperor is starting to make mistakes, and now the emperor is in a hurry to take power, and he does not hesitate to use these criminal officials, on the surface, it seems that he has won more support, but in fact, in the long run, the hearts of the people in the world will be lost." ”

"Yes, I think so too, which is why I have only refuted his decree today, so as to establish my good name." Jia Ke had thought of this a long time ago.

Fan Kang continued: "The lord doesn't need to make any big moves next, as long as he keeps an eye on the emperor below, waits for the emperor to make a mistake, and then keeps admonishing him, sooner or later he will be annoyed and angry, and people will make mistakes when they are angry." In this way, he will slowly lose the hearts of the world. ”

"Sir's words are exactly what I want, and from today onwards I will be a loyal servant who asks for the people's life." After Jia Ke said this, he laughed.

Then, as Fan Kang expected, the emperor's holy decree caused turmoil in the hearts of the people in the world, especially among some bitter cold scholars, and it was even more passionate. There were not many ways out for these scholars, because their families were poor and could only study hard, hoping to have an official and a half-job in the future. But the emperor issued such a decree, and those corrupt officials who had been deposed were able to return to power with their own money. I don't know how many bitter cold scholars will be blocked from making their way forward, so the emperor's prestige among these scholars has dropped sharply.

Not only are the bitter cold scholars, but even there are some upright people in the officialdom, who secretly complain about the emperor, and act recklessly just after ascending the throne, not at all like the virtuous when they did not ascend the throne.

There are even some radical scholars who think that if the emperor is not still alive, the current emperor is probably the king of Xu. But the nine-fold emperor did not feel this pressure, and he received all kinds of officials from various factions during this period of time, all of whom praised him for his wisdom and martial arts, and his leniency towards others, and he must be the reincarnation of Yao Shun.

The emperor was dismissive of these twists and turns on the surface, but in fact he was very happy in his heart, after all, everyone likes to listen to good ones.

As for Jia Ke, who dared to refute the emperor's holy decree, the officialdom and the people formed two completely different views.

In the officialdom, almost all the officials said that Jia Ke was stupid, in order to be loyal to the emperor, he didn't even want his life, and he didn't look at what age the emperor was, and his current body couldn't even go to the court. I'm afraid that it will be a year or two before the dragon returns to the sky.

And among the people, Jia Ke's prestige has almost reached its peak. Jia Ke originally had the experience of resisting the Tatars in a desperate and bloody battle for the country, and this time he refuted the emperor's holy decree to ask for the people's lives. Therefore, Jia Ke is quite popular among the people, and there are even many storytellers who compile Jia Ke's experience into a book and hype it up among the people.

Among them, there is naturally Jia Ke's recollection of the credit of the intelligence leader Wei Kun. This is Jia Ke learning modern propaganda, you must know that there is not such a sentence now? A lie told a thousand times is the truth, so after Jia Ke came to this era, he tried his best to pretend to be a saint, and now Wei Kun not only controls intelligence, but also promotes Jia Ke.

The effect of these propaganda is still good, and through these folk art forms, Jia Ke has been shaped into the image of a perfect saint.

After Wei Kun returned to the capital, he only met Jia Ke once, and the rest of the time he secretly sent people to contact him, never in direct contact. This is also why Jia Ke was afraid of the Emperor Taishang and the emperor's intelligence department, and noticed them and deliberately kept a low profile. And Jia Ke's loyalty to Wei Kun is also assured, and there are some unknown secrets in it.

It is with this secret that Jia Ke controls a huge army and countless generals, but these people have never been in contact with each other, and they don't even know each other's existence. They are each doing their own thing, just waiting for Jia Ke's order, and the world of the Red Chamber will be turned upside down at that time.
