Daming Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Dai Quan presented a secret letter to Emperor Chongrui, saying:

"Your Majesty, this is a secret letter sent by Lin Ruhai, the imperial historian of Yangzhou Salt Patrol, according to the sender, he is seriously ill and dying, and he is ready to die in his duties and donate to Yangzhou, please appoint a replacement as soon as possible."

Emperor Chongrui frowned slightly, took the secret letter, opened it and looked at it, and immediately frowned, his face gloomy.

"Companion, look at this secret letter."

As he spoke, Emperor Chongrui threw the secret letter towards Dai Quan.

Dai Quan hurriedly caught it and spread it out to browse.

"Your Majesty, the situation in Jinling Province is complicated and needs to be rectified urgently, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

As a eunuch, Dai Quan has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and he did not dare to ignore the government affairs, for fear of taking on the responsibility of eunuchs to seize power and interfere in court politics.

But when he read this secret letter, he was horrified and involuntarily reminded him.

Emperor Chongrui sighed:

"Even you, who have always been tight-lipped, are shocked to this point, which shows how critical this matter is!

Who do you think I should send as the minister of the Qin Mission to Yangzhou to rectify the officialdom? ”

Dai Quan thought for a moment and said:

"It is very likely that the Chinese military forces of the DPRK have colluded with officials at all levels in Yangzhou, and it is necessary to send a lonely minister who is not a party to deal with it."

Chongrui Emperor Road:

"You are usually quiet and foolish, but today you are very insightful, and I am impressed.

Then what do you think if I send Jia Chen to the position of Qincha? ”

Dai Quan was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that Emperor Chongrui would use Jia Chen, a young man, so much!

After a little hesitation, Dai Quan said with some hesitation:

"Jia Chen is both civil and military, has both ability and political integrity, and is indeed a young talent, but he is only thirteen years old, and he is only a fourth-grade imperial guard with a sword, and his grade is too low, I am afraid that it will be difficult to suppress Yangzhou officialdom."

Emperor Chongrui chuckled and said:

"I appointed him as a messenger, just like I came in person, but regardless of the grade, I gave him the sword of Shang Fang, but he could be cut first and then played, who would dare to disagree with the officials at all levels in Yangzhou?"

Dai Quan chuckled and said:

"Your Majesty Shengming, Weichen is shallow, he shouldn't be open-mouthed, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!"

Emperor Chongrui smiled and said:

"Since you confess your guilt, then I will send you to Jiangnan to support Jia Chen."

Dai Quan smiled bitterly:

"Your Majesty, Wechen has never gone to other provinces on an errand alone, but I'm afraid that I will miss state affairs."

Chongrui Emperor Road:

"It's okay, when the local officials in Yangzhou came to Beijing to report on their work, they basically saw you.

You are my internal minister, which local official dares to argue with you? With you, Jia Chen can do his errands more worry-free. I'm more at ease. ”

Dai Quan had no choice but to admit: "Weichen has the order!" ”

Chongrui Emperor Road:

"If what Lin Ruhai said in the secret letter is correct, then you will definitely be in danger and extremely dangerous when you go down to the south of the Yangtze River this time, and I will send the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard to lead Suzaku to lead a thousand Jinyi guards to escort you and Jia Chen to Yangzhou.

You can let Jia Chen take the first step and let him think of his own ideas to break the situation, and if he is in danger, you can order Suzaku to bring someone to the rescue.

I want to take this opportunity to test him in the school to see how good he is at doing errands? ”

Dai Quan said with emotion:

"Your Majesty really favors Jia Chen, please rest assured, Weichen will definitely take a strict test for him!"

At the same time, Dai Quan was slightly shocked, this Jia Chen is at a young age, he is in the emperor's heart, the saint is rich, and the future is limitless!

It seems that His Majesty wants to reuse Jia Chen, and Jia Chen will lead the founding of the country in the future.

This Jia Chen may become the next Rong Guogong.

At the same time, in the Rongguo Mansion Rongqing Hall.

Lin Daiyu threw herself into Jia's mother's arms and cried:

"Ancestor, I received a letter from my father, he is seriously ill and dying, and I must go back to Yangzhou to see him immediately."

Mother Jia patted Lin Daiyu's back and comforted:

"Good boy, Jiren has his own natural appearance, Ling Zun is a rare good official, he will be fine, you are a girl's family trekking through mountains and rivers, showing up, there is a lot of inconvenience, I will send Brother Lian to send you home."

Lin Daiyu said:

"Second Brother Lian needs to deal with a lot of chores in the Rong Mansion, and it is inconvenient to take a break, I want to ask Brother Chen to escort me home."

Jia Mu narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, and smiled unnaturally:

"It's okay, I'll send someone to invite Chen'er over, as long as he wants, let him accompany you."

After that, Jia Mu sent Mandarin Duck to find Jia Chen.

At this time, Jia Chen had just eaten and drunk enough and came out of Lixiangyuan.

The mandarin duck sent several maids to search around, and finally found Jia Chen.

There was no time to elaborate, and the mandarin duck hurriedly invited Jia Chen to Rongqing Hall.

Jia Chen saw Lin Daiyu crying with pear blossoms and rain at a glance, and his heart tightened.

"Jia Chen has seen the old lady!" Jia Chen was neither humble nor arrogant.

"No need to be polite!"

Mother Jia exchanged a few words with him, and then told him about Lin Daiyu's father's serious illness.

Jia Chen immediately said:

"Then I'll accompany Sister Lin back to Yangzhou."

Lin Daiyu's heart warmed, Jia Chen took the initiative to escort him before he could make a request, which was really good to himself.

The warm current in my heart brewed into sweetness, and Lin Daiyu said:

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

Jia Chen smiled warmly and said:

"Sister Lin doesn't have to be polite, your business is my business."

Jia Mu looked at the two people who were obsessed, as if she had realized something, her eyes flashed, and her face was complicated.

According to the thousands of threads in her heart, Jia Mu advised:

"Chen'er, Daiyu, from Shenjing to Yangzhou, the road is long, the road is long and obstructive, you should take care of yourself on the road.

One of you is the future pillar of our Jia family, and the other is my beloved granddaughter, both of whom are my heart, but there must be no mistakes.

In order to be sure, I will send Brother Lian to accompany you. ”

In fact, Jia's mother was out of good intentions, but she also wanted to secretly ask Jia Lian to keep an eye on Jia Chen and Lin Daiyu, and not let them be lonely on the road, dry firewood, and do some things that exceed the etiquette.

As soon as these words came out, Jia Chen quickly realized this meaning.

But he didn't care about Jia's mother's attitude towards his marriage to Lin Daiyu, as long as he was strong enough, Jia's mother couldn't stop him from marrying Daiyu as his wife.

At this moment, a small servant hurriedly ran in and said:

"Enlighten the ancestors, there are angels coming to proclaim!"

Mother Jia hurriedly changed into a phoenix crown and a Xia curtain of Mrs. Xuan, wearing big makeup, summoned all the masters of Rongguo Mansion, and went to the gate of Rongfu to greet the angel.

The last time the angel came, it was to give an order to Jia Chen, and today Jia's mother had the experience of the last time, so she simply took Jia Chen to the gate of the mansion to receive the order.

Jia's mother did not send anyone to inform Ning Guofu, and Jia Zhen was still sick in bed and delirious. Jia Rong was infected with wind chill. You Shi is a gourd with a sawed mouth, and even if he comes, it is still an ornament.

After a while, with the sound of gongs getting louder and louder, a team of royal honor guards came over.

Dai Quan was helped out of the sedan chair by two eunuchs and read his will to Jia Chen.

The masters of the Jia family were shocked, but they didn't expect that the Holy Lord would appoint Jia Chen as the minister of the Qin Mission.

He's only thirteen!

Moreover, there are only four grades.

The saint is really kind to Jia Chen, and the saint is generous!

Jia's mother was overjoyed, it seems that Jia's family is prospering!

But he still hopes that Jia Baoyu can marry Lin Daiyu, but he doesn't want Jia Chen to snatch love.

On the other side, Emperor Chongrui received the battle report from the Nine Border Military Town, and his heart was very anxious.

Feng Tang claimed in the military newspaper that due to his advanced age, his memory was getting worse and worse, and he often forgot about what he was worried about, worried that he would delay the military plane, and hoped that the imperial court would send another general to replace him in command of the nine sides.

Emperor Chongrui had to use the elderly and sickly Qi Jiguang.

At this time, Qi Jiguang's condition was also not optimistic, so he could only lie in the carriage with his illness and rush to Shanhaiguan.

In fact, Emperor Chongrui didn't trust Qi Jiguang very much, because he was a general promoted by Emperor Taishang, not his own cronies.

Dai Quan was not around, and Emperor Chongrui transferred Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the Six Palaces, to his side to serve him.

Chongrui Emperor Road:

"Xia Aiqing, I want to send someone to supervise Qi Jiguang, who do you think can take on this important task?"

Xia Shouzhong smiled bitterly:

"Weichen lives in the inner palace all the year round, and only comes into contact with the concubines, female officials, palace maids and eunuchs of the six palaces, and he is not familiar with the government and does not dare to speak falsely."

Emperor Chongrui's eyes lit up and said with a smile:

"In ancient times, Hua Mulan served in the army for her father, and Song had Liang Hongyu beating drums to fight Jinshan, but you reminded me that there are many female officials in the harem, and there is no shortage of women heroes with both wisdom and resourcefulness, you can tell me, among the female officials, who can take on this heavy responsibility?"

Xia Shouzhong's eyes rolled and said with a smile:

"Weichen thinks that the female Shi Jia Yuanchun is erudite and talented, and she can take on this role."

In fact, he had no good intentions and wanted to take Jia Yuanchun away, and it was best to die on the nine-sided front.

In this way, the queen and Zhou Guiren will have one less potential enemy to compete for favor, and they will inevitably be grateful to themselves.

Emperor Chongrui groaned slightly, and chuckled:

"You are very discerning, but after all, she is a woman, and she is afraid that it will be difficult to support herself, so I sent Wen Tiren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as the main supervisor of the army, and Jia Yuanchun as the deputy supervisor, to go to the Nine Sides to supervise the division."

In fact, Emperor Chongrui didn't expect Jia Yuanchun to do anything, but because he sensed that the empress and Zhou nobles were hostile to Jia Yuanchun recently, and wanted to transfer Jia Yuanchun to the frontier, away from the whirlpool of battle in the harem.

Emperor Chongrui wanted to support Jia Chen as the leader of the founding lineage, so he naturally wanted to find a way to protect Jia Chen's cousin Jia Yuanchun.

At least Jia Yuanchun can't be allowed to die in the palace.

Emperor Chongrui actually didn't like Jia Yuanchun, for him, Jia Yuanchun was just a political tool.

Therefore, Emperor Chongrui transferred Jia Yuanchun to the frontier front line like the Nine Border Military Town, a bitter cold place.
