The information that Dai Quan said was not very comprehensive, after all, within the scope of the Tatars' power, their intelligence personnel were very scarce. And the level at which it is not very high, at most you can get these, the information of the public.

But the Emperor was already very satisfied with this, and the Emperor did not ask him to obtain any secret information.

After learning the news of Arslen Khan's two relocation camps from Dai Quan, the emperor was even more convinced that what Jia Ke said was true, and he was still very satisfied with this counterattack against the Tatars.

Jia Ke led the army not only to attack Arslen Khan twice, but also to recapture such a treasure as the jade seal of the country, this time he will be rewarded well, the last time he promised him not to be stingy with the reward, this time I am afraid that he will really share a marquis.

However, the emperor felt that this marquis gave the value, and Jia Ke not only gave the Tatars a blow to the head, but also recaptured the jade seal of the country. More importantly, the fact that Jia Ke sent back the jade seal of the country fully illustrates Jia Ke's loyalty to himself. If other families get such a treasure, they will definitely hide it secretly for the future.

After all, since ancient times, there have only been thousand-year-old families, and they have never heard of thousand-year-old dynasties. For the sake of their own family interests, these families can sell anything, if they get the national jade seal. Then in the next dynasty change, this is their best chance to advance.

"Spread the decree, tomorrow in the Taihe Hall to hold a dynasty, in Beijing more than three grades of officials must come." The emperor suddenly commanded Dai Quan.

Dai Quan didn't dare to slack off and immediately said: "The slave will send someone to pass the decree, and tomorrow the court will be held in the Taihe Palace." ”

The emperor nodded, and then added, "What kind of official is Jia Ke's father now?" ”

Dai Quan hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Long live Jia Ke's father is a member of the five grades. ”

"Then you will go and pass the decree and let Jia Ke's father make an exception to participate in the court tomorrow."

Dai Quan knew that Jia Ke was about to develop, so he hurriedly replied: "The slave personally went to Rongguo Mansion to give Jia Zheng a message. ”

When the emperor heard his reply, he had nothing to say, and continued to hold Jia Ke's recital, as if he could never get enough of it.

As soon as Dai Quan saw that the emperor had no arrangements, he quietly retreated. When he came to the outside of the hall, he gave a few words to a few little eunuchs, and these little eunuchs immediately ran out. Within a while, more than a dozen eunuchs left the Heart Cultivation Hall and went to various yamen.

And Dai Quan himself sat in a sedan chair, played an umbrella and sounded the gong, and came to Rongguo Mansion in a mighty way, such a pomp directly alarmed Jia Zheng, the head of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Zheng has always been outside the top echelons of power, and it can be said that he does not have a deep understanding of the situation in the DPRK and China. Suddenly heard that Dai Quan came to Rongguo Mansion to deliver the decree, and his heart jumped in panic, the last time Jia Ke was knighted, the emperor just sent a eunuch casually, what is the big deal this time? can even work to move the big frame of this inner minister.

Although Jia Zheng was suspicious, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the middle door to welcome Dai Quan into Rongxi Hall.

After entering the Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng gave Dai Quan to get started, and Dai Quan did not shirk, and directly sat in the top position. Jia Zheng sat with him at the bottom.

After the two sat down, Jia Zheng cautiously asked: "I don't know the internal minister, what do you have to explain when you come to our house this time?" ”

Dai Quan smiled with a smile on his face, and said politely: "What is the internal minister or not, our family is just doing some chores for the emperor, but he is just a minion, how can he use such an honorific title, besides, I still have some friendship with your old father, and it can be regarded as a world friend." There is no need to say such kind words in the future. Then the tone changed and he said: "This time I came to congratulate Lord Jia." ”

Jia Zheng was shocked when he heard what he said, and then asked respectfully: "The minister said that he was happy, but I don't know where this happy event came from?" ”

Dai Quan didn't say much else to him, but said mysteriously: "Tomorrow, the emperor will be in the Taihe Palace, and the officials above the third rank in Beijing will participate, but the emperor will also participate in the emperor's special order Lord Jia tomorrow, and Lord Jia will know about this happy event tomorrow." ”

"Prime minister, please tell me a few words clearly, so that I can be prepared, otherwise it will be bad if I make a fool of myself in the court tomorrow." Jia Zheng stood up and bowed to the ground, his face full of pleading.

"Lord Jia doesn't have to be like this, I can only tell Lord Jia about this, it is indeed a happy event, the fake adult just puts his heart in his stomach, and the other is me who is a slave, I really don't dare to talk nonsense." Dai Quan got up and helped Jia Zheng up, and for the sake of Jia Ke's imminent rise, he comforted Jia Zheng a few words.

Jia Zheng knew that he couldn't ask anything anymore, so he kept Dai Quan to go to the banquet, "Father-in-law, stay for a while, I'll set up a banquet, and my father-in-law will have a glass of wine here before leaving, so as to warm up your body." ”

How can Dai Quan have time to eat and drink here now, the emperor ordered to pass a decree to all officials above the third grade, although he arranged people, but he had to go back to the town in person, in case something went wrong, the emperor would not be able to spare him.

So Dai Quan pushed it in every possible way, only saying that there were important things in the palace and he couldn't stay for a long time. Jia Zheng really can't keep it. had to personally send Dai Quan out of the Rongguo Mansion, and then returned to the mansion in doubt.

After Jia Zheng returned home, he immediately went to the back house to report to Jia's mother. Jia Mu was very calm about this matter, she said to Jia Zheng: "Since the emperor ordered officials above the third grade to participate in the dynasty tomorrow, you are just a five-grade official, and the emperor let you participate It is an exception, you have no merit, it must be our eldest brother, who has made great contributions this time, and the emperor wants to reward you in a big way, so you can go and thank you on behalf of your eldest brother." You don't have to worry, just go tomorrow. ”

Jia Zheng got Jia's mother's orders, and then his heart calmed down, and he felt that he had a backbone. And began to be constantly excited in his heart, just waiting for the emperor to pick up the emperor's reward the next day.

The next day, at the beginning of the day (about 9 o'clock in the morning), the courtiers came to the Taihe Palace, and everyone wondered today, this is not a year or a festival to hold a big court in the Taihe Palace, which has never been held. There must have been something going on that they didn't know. So they asked each other, but in the end they could not give an answer. Everyone could only come to the Taihe Hall with their heads down.

Taihe Hall is the place where the ceremony is held, such as the emperor's ascension to the pole, the announcement of the enthronement edict, the emperor's wedding, the canonization of the queen, the fate of the expedition, every year on New Year's Day, the winter solstice, longevity (the emperor's birthday) and other festivals must be congratulated and given by hundreds of officials here. I have never heard of a great court held in the Taihe Palace.

Therefore, when the officials heard that the court was held in the Taihe Palace, they were very puzzled. All the civil and military personnel came to the Taihe Hall and stood up with their own civil and military grades, and at this time one person stood out, this is Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng is just a five-grade outsider, and he was not qualified to participate in this dynasty, but he is standing here now. Although he knew that it was not in order, no one stepped forward to ask. Because everyone knows that Jia Zheng can stand here must get the emperor's consent, without the emperor's consent, Jia Zheng may not even be able to enter the noon gate.

The emperor did not let everyone wait longer, and after all the civil and military forces arrived, the emperor entered the Taihe Palace. Only this time it was different from the previous ones, and the emperor personally held a wooden box wrapped in yellow segments.

After the emperor entered the Taihe Palace, he sat directly on the throne of Jinluan, and gently placed the wooden box in his hand on the imperial case.

His Royal Highness's courtiers knelt down and shouted three long live, please kneel three times and bow nine times, this set of etiquette is very complicated, this is still a simplification of many rituals such as "whipping", "shifting" and so on. In this way, there are still many old ministers, tired and with sore backs.

The palace ministers had closed their salutes and stood on either side waiting for the emperor's lecture.

At this time, the emperor held the yellow cloth package and said to the ministers: "Everyone must be very strange today, why do I hold a great court in the Taihe Palace? This Taihe Hall can't be opened several times a year. I am holding a great court meeting here this time, because I have good news to tell you. The lost heirloom jade seal of the previous dynasty has been recovered. After speaking, the emperor opened the yellow cloth bag in his hand and took out a treasure seal from a simple wooden box.

When all the princes and ministers heard the news, they were all stunned, this news was really shocking. Then many ministers reflected, one by one showing fanatical expressions, since the jade seal of the country was found, doesn't it mean that this dynasty is determined by the mandate of heaven?

You must know that the jade seal has always been a symbol of imperial power, if a dynasty does not have a jade seal. will be considered a tabula rasa dynasty, with a bad name and bad words. Since the previous dynasty was invaded by the steppe people, there has been no trace of the jade seal of the country for decades.

Therefore, Emperor Taizu, in order to demonstrate the legitimacy of his dynasty, engraved twenty-five treasure seals in one breath, in order to make up for the regret of not having a jade seal for the country. This time, I heard the emperor say that the jade seal of the country was recovered, how could they not be surprised? How can you keep them from getting excited?

The emperor looked at the shocked and fanatical appearance of the ministers below from the throne, and he couldn't help but feel comfortable all the time, and he now had a deep understanding of the appeal of the jade seal.

Pan Yong, a member of the Cabinet University, rushed out of class at this time, knelt on the ground, and said to him: "My emperor is blessed with the sky, and the heavens can descend such treasures." The minister is here to congratulate the emperor on the recovery of the treasure on behalf of the people of the world, and the dynasty will be eternal and passed on from generation to generation. ”

The courtiers reacted when they heard his words, so they knelt on the ground together and congratulated the emperor loudly: "My emperor is blessed with all the heavens, long live." ”

The Emperor was tired of hearing these words on the throne, but now he didn't feel a burst of joy.

But he didn't, and smiled happily at this time. Instead, he said very reservedly: "Zhong Aiqing, let's get even." ”

When the ministers heard the emperor's will, they returned to their shifts and stood.

The emperor then said to the people below: "Although it is said that the jade seal has been recovered, I do not know whether it is true or false. Therefore, all the ministers are invited to come and observe one or two to determine whether it is true or false. ”

After saying this, the emperor looked down, and finally found that it had fallen on the three scholars, and said: "The three scholars are all well-informed scholars, but they can come forward to see if this jade seal is real or fake." ”

When the three scholars heard the emperor's words, they came to the imperial case in turn and carefully looked at the jade seal. These three are all truly well-educated Confucians, they just thought about it in their hearts, and countless descriptions of the characteristics of the jade seal of the country appeared in their minds, combined with their research on gold and stone antiques. At this time, it was determined in my heart that this was the legendary heirloom jade seal.
