Jia Lian took the crimson civil official robe that Dai Quan handed over to him. Jia Lian stood on top of the imperial court of Daming Palace, looking confused.

Therefore, Emperor Longzheng hurriedly called himself over with a white face, and sent Dai Quan to wait at the door. Is it just to let yourself get the official uniform?

It turned out that after the dispersal of the dynasty, Jia Lian thought that Emperor Longzheng would summon him. Unexpectedly, the emperor left without even looking at himself, and then Dai Quan hugged the robe of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple and found Jia Lian with a smile.

"Uncle Jia, this is Shaoqing's official uniform. The emperor said, give you a day off, and start taking over the affairs of Honglu Temple tomorrow. Also, go to court on time every day. ”

Thinking of Dai Quan's beating, Jia Lian felt itchy teeth. After glancing at Daming Palace again, Jia Lian gritted his teeth and turned to leave.

Where Jia Lian couldn't see, Emperor Long Zheng looked at Jia Lian's back as he turned to leave, and smiled.

"Sir, please explain the rest to Jia Lian."

Chen Menglei, who was standing behind Emperor Long Zheng, replied in a low voice: "Okay." ”

Chen Menglei hesitated for a while: "Emperor, the minister has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Emperor Long Zheng turned his head and looked at Chen Menglei with a smile: "Sir, between you and me, you can say what you should say, but it doesn't hurt to say what you shouldn't say." ”

Chen Menglei paused, but still said: "Since this is the case, the minister will say it directly." Why did the emperor give the appointment of the commander of the Jinyi Mansion to the officials? If you do this, it will take a long time, and it will be detrimental to the country.

The current officials are like the sea, but it doesn't matter, he is a measured person. I'm afraid ...... in the future."

Emperor Long Zheng glanced at Chen Menglei deeply: "There are really too few courtiers like Mr. who think about me and the country now.

But don't worry, sir, although I can't compare to Taizu and Holy Ancestor, I am not stupid. Won't do anything to destroy the Great Wall.

This time the situation is special, and this is the only time. What's more, it is not so easy for the officials of Jinyi Mansion to interfere even if they want to interfere. ”

Chen Menglei thought about it, Jinyi Mansion was different from other armies. From the commander to the town government, from thousands of households to the general flag and small flag, all can be decided by the Son of Heaven.

Jia Lian left Daming Palace and did not go home. Although he knew that Jia Zheng would definitely send someone home to report the news, the family was waiting.

But he still needs to figure out how this trick has changed.

Of course, Lin Ruhai is right. The position of Honglu Siqing is indeed the experience of martial arts.

At the beginning of the country, as Dazheng stabilized the basic plate of Jiangnan, his rule gradually stabilized. The roads of the southern vassal states to pay tribute to Luoyang have been broken. They naturally changed it to tributary Jinling.

There's no way, if you can't figure it out, Da Zheng Junjun will be very happy to come over and find a way to help them figure it out.

In the beginning, tributaries and other foreign-related affairs were handled by the Ministry of Rites. However, with the expansion of the land area and the increase in foreign-related affairs, the Ministry of Rites, which was not very well staffed at that time, was a little too busy.

In the ninth year of Shunde, Honglu Temple was established, and the first Marquis Xiaoming of Xiuguo was the first Honglu Temple. Since then, several Honglu Siqing have all been born in martial arts.

Later, with the development of the situation and the stabilization of the national situation, the affairs of Honglu Temple became more and more inclined to government affairs, and certain rules were formed. Since the fourteenth year of Jingning, Honglu Siqing has been served by Wenchen until now.

This time, he actually broke the decades-old convention and took this position back from Wenchen again. It's not easy, although this position is very sensitive at this time, but it's much better than being trapped in Jinyi Mansion.

"I've seen the second master, and the old slave asked the second master to say goodbye."

Jia Lian was about to go to the Ministry to find Lin Ruhai, passing by the Wenhua Palace, but was stopped by an old man.

"Grandpa Hua, I said a long time ago, you don't have to be so polite with me. You are an old man with your grandfather, and you hugged your mother when she was a child. Just call me Brother Lian. ”

Chen Menglei's old housekeeper Chen Hua, Jia Lian estimated that Lin Zhong by Lin Ruhai's side was a role. But the difference is that Chen Hua himself is a master.

Wu Cheng once said to Jia Lian that Chen Hua's strength is only above him, not below him.

Chen Hua looked at Jia Lian in front of him and looked at that familiar face. There was a gentle smile on his face: "Second Master, if the eldest lady knew that you could have today, she would definitely smile at Jiuquan."

The master is waiting for you, please come with the old slave. ”

Hearing that Chen Menglei wanted to see him, Jia Lian knew that he was going to give himself an answer. Hurriedly hugged his clothes and followed.

Entering Chen Menglei's duty room, there happened to be two officials from the Ministry of Rites reporting to Chen Menglei. Chen Menglei, as the second assistant, is not only responsible for the formulation and implementation of major domestic policies, but also responsible for the drafting of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple.

Jia Lian didn't know these two guys, but these two officials of the Ministry of Rites could know Jia Lian. Jia Shaoqing, who was born out of nowhere, was stunned by countless people.

"Go ahead." Seeing that a few old subordinates couldn't sit still, they waved their hands helplessly.

"Grandpa, what are you looking for me?" Jia Lian leaned over with a smile, not caring at all about the majesty of the cabinet's deputy assistant.

Chen Menglei glanced at Jia Lian: "You don't know what I'm looking for you for?" Lian'er, you can be careful, from now on you will fall into my hands, and it will be impossible to be as easy as before. ”

Jia Lian shrunk his neck, so he had to get serious: "Okay, grandpa, tell me, how did the trick change this time?" ”

"It's very simple, the emperor originally planned to wait for Concubine Xiande to save her relatives next year before arranging for you to enter the Beijing camp or the Beijing Guard to train.

In a few years, I will directly send you to Liaodong to accumulate military exploits. But I refused. ”

Chen Menglei glanced at Jia Lian when he said this, and found that his expression had not changed. Fang Cai continued with satisfaction: "I think your title is high enough, and the emperor personally promised to raise your title to a third-class marquis in two years." At your age, a third-class position is sufficient.

Army: You'd better not go for a while. Grandpa believes in your ability and can make a stir wherever you go. If you go to the army, you will definitely have merit, but Lian'er, you don't need so much credit now.

Then apart from the army, there is only one place left that can put you down. Honglu Temple, Xu Li's case happened to come out, and you happened to be sent by the emperor on an errand, so I took the opportunity to suggest that the emperor simply let you preside over Honglu Temple. ”

Jia Lian nodded, indicating that he understood. But I remembered something: "Grandpa, why did the emperor specially call me from the palace to the court, and even sent Dai Quan to wait for me at the gate of the palace." It doesn't seem necessary. Jia Lian still couldn't figure it out.

When Chen Menglei heard Jia Lian's question, his face changed strangely, and he still said: "The emperor originally planned to talk to you, but then there were some other things, so he asked me to come to you to talk to you." ”

Seeing that Jia Lian still wanted to ask, Chen Menglei interrupted him: "Okay." You go, settle down at home, and start going to court on time tomorrow, and go to the yamen on time to order. Remember, Honglu Temple may seem inconspicuous, but there are many people staring at you, and you should not be taken lightly. ”
