Chapter 107: Face King
Jia Lian came back by order, although Dai Quan came back in advance because of the father-in-law and did not wait for him, but Jia Lian, who arrived in Beijing, also had to enter the palace to hand over the decree.
When I came to Daming Palace, I saw that there were several ministers waiting for Emperor Longzheng to meet at the door of the study of Zichen Palace, including Chen Youdao, the new waiter of the Criminal Department.
"Second uncle, hello, Lian'er greets you." Jia Lian went up to say hello to Chen Youdao. Since he expressed his desire to get close to the Chen family, whether it is Chen Menglei and his wife, Chen Youli, Chen Youdao, and Chen Youen, the three brothers have been very good to Jia Lian.
Therefore, Jia Lian reciprocated the favor and became very close to the Chen family.
Seeing that Jia Lian had arrived, Chen Youdao was also a little happy. This sister's only child has been in the limelight for the past two years, except for being a little unhappy with Chen Youdao staying next to Jinyi Mansion, there is nothing dissatisfied.
He is not his third brother, and now that the third brother has been promoted to the Guozi Prison Sentence, he is very dissatisfied with Jia Lian always staying among the eagle dogs.
But Chen Youdao is no problem, he said with a smile: "When did Lian'er enter Beijing, why didn't she come to sit at home." Are you angry with your third uncle, he is like this, and he is too angry, don't take it to heart. ”
Jia Lian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Second uncle, I don't dare to take what you said." The third uncle is also for my good, how can I not understand. This time, I also just arrived in Beijing, received the emperor's decree, relieved the errand of the Beizhen Prefecture Division, and returned to Beijing to receive the decree. ”
Chen Youdao was happy all of a sudden: "Okay, you are too young now, and the credit is not small, not a blessing." It's a good thing to rest in Beijing for two years and wait until you're older in the future before going out.
Even if it goes on like this, the title of third-class marquis is enough for you to be happy for a lifetime. ”
Jia Lian was about to speak, when Su Cheng walked out of it. walked straight to Jia Lian: "Uncle, the emperor let you go in first." ”
Jia Lian nodded, arched his hand at Su Cheng and said, "There is Father-in-law Lao Su." After saying that, while walking in with Su Cheng, a silver ticket inadvertently slipped into Su Cheng's sleeve.
Feeling the silver ticket in his sleeve, Su Cheng's face was a little happy. In his opinion, Jia Lian is really an informed and interesting person.
Jia Yu and Jia Zhen, who were in the previous Jia family, saw that Dai Quan and Su Cheng and others in the inner court would also bribe a large amount of silver. Just like when Qin Keqing died, in order to let Jia Rong get a dragon forbidden lieutenant, Jia Zhen took out a few thousand taels of silver to pay Dai Quan.
But in the final analysis, it was because the Jia family asked for Dai Quan, and Dai Quan and others took it and kept it, so sometimes they had to ask for a little when they were tight. However, today's Jia Lian is different, his holy family, merit and ability are not comparable to Jia Yu back then and Jia Zhen today.
Taking the initiative to ask for bribes must be no one daring, and now Jia Lian took the initiative to send them to make them feel that Jia Lian can afford them.
Walking into the study room of Zichen Palace, it was very rare for Emperor Longzheng not to review the chapters, but to talk to a middle-aged man in a python robe in his forties.
"Please be safe with Your Majesty." Jia Lian didn't say anything long-winded, and directly asked Emperor Longzheng for peace.
"Get up, I've seen Prince Zhongyi!" Emperor Long Zheng pointed to Prince Zhongyi, who was sitting on the side.
Jia Lian's heart moved, it turned out that this was the chivalrous king under the knees of the Holy Ancestor. Sure enough, his martial arts are very extraordinary, Jia Lian once heard Wu Cheng say that the martial arts of Zheng Xiang, Prince Zhongyi, should still be above him.
"I've seen the prince, and I've heard for a long time that the prince's martial arts have reached the pinnacle, and now it seems that it is really extraordinary."
Emperor Long Zheng and Zheng Xiang glanced at each other and laughed.
"Uncle Thirteen, I'm not wrong. That's how tired this kid is. In front of his father, did this kid dare to talk nonsense without scruples. It scared the hell out of me. ”
Zheng Xiang also nodded: "This king has not asked about the world for many years, but he has also been in contact with Uncle Daishan back then, and I still remember his old man's demeanor." How did you get here, except for this good face, I haven't learned anything else. ”
Jia Lian's face turned blue for a while, if he changed someone, even if it was in the study of Zichen Palace, Jia Lian would dare to fight with him.
But in the face of this prince who is getting older and more unstingy, Jia Lian is saying that he is nothing. People dare to sleep in public in the Jiuhua Palace of the Emperor Taishang.
The corners of Jia Lian's mouth twitched twice, thinking that the nobles of the Red Mansion world seemed to be all interested in the Rabbit Xianggongfang. I have no interest in talking to Zheng Xiang anymore. Instead, he turned to Emperor Longzheng: "The ministers returned to Beijing from Tianjin, and they came to hand over the decree to Your Majesty." ”
The corners of Zheng Xiang's mouth next to him also twitched twice, a cautious guy. I just teased him, and the little guy immediately turned his face. Put on a posture of wanting to talk to the emperor about business. Since he wants to talk about business, it is not suitable for him, the idle king, to stay here.
"The emperor has something to do, so the old minister retired first. Go to the Emperor Taishang's place. Zheng Xiang didn't fold, so he had to stand up and say goodbye. Fortunately, the purpose of his visit to the emperor this time was basically achieved.
"Okay, then Uncle Huang will go slowly, and I won't send it."
At this time, Jia Lian noticed that the emperor, who was usually cold-faced, had a gentle smile on his face, looking very respectful of the old bastard.
Seeing Zheng Xiang leave, Emperor Long Zheng's face immediately changed. Pointing at Jia Lian is a scolding:
"What a cautious Uncle Jia, Uncle Huang just teased you a few words informally, and you immediately turned your face. Who gave you the guts. ”
Jia Lian was also unhappy: "Your Majesty, except for the rabbit master of the Qinglou, which serious man would be willing to listen to a man praise his beauty." I heard that the thirteenth prince has a little daughter, and she came to praise it. ”
Emperor Longzheng was teased by Jia Lian and laughed: "Ling'er is the heart of the emperor's uncle, if you want to spread this, do you say that the emperor's uncle will let you go." ”
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, as if he had just remembered this. A little weak-hearted asked: "Your Majesty, you won't tell the old prince, right?" ”
"Maybe! You're worried about Sister Ling'er, maybe I'm going to give you a kiss. ”
"Well, Your Majesty, don't. Otherwise, I would have to hide in the Zichen Hall for the rest of my life. ”
Emperor Long Zheng was amused again, which is why he liked Jia Lian. Jia Lian has always spoken to him with a sincere heart, and he has nothing to say. In the eyes of Emperor Longzheng, this point is stronger than anything else.
After laughing for a while, Emperor Long Zheng stretched out his hand and nodded Jia Lian a few times. Cai Zhengrong said: "Okay, let's get down to business." This time, I transferred you back from Tianjin, do you have any thoughts in your heart? ”
"No, it's all up to Your Majesty."
"Then you should stay at home for a while. I have recently given grace to your Jia family. Take care of your family affairs first, and wait for your will. ”
Jia Lian heard that this meant to let him retire, so he bowed down and said, "The minister is ordered." ”
