Chapter 97: The Jiang Family
The Emperor shook hard.
His gaze finally showed a little coldness.
He stared at Jiang Dong coldly, and the Buddha bead in his hand quickly turned, and only after half a sound did he say coldly: "You mean, the regent has anti-intentions?" ”
Jiang Dong was stunned, stared at him with wide eyes, and said repeatedly: "Weichen doesn't dare!" Weichen is just loyal to the emperor, worried that the emperor will be deceived by villains! ”
The emperor was silent.
He held the beads in his hand, and the beads kept turning between his fingers, and there was a dull atmosphere in the room, as if the air had frozen.
I don't know how long it took.
Jiang Dong felt that his legs were numb on his knees, and his upper body fell to the ground, which made his lumbar spine a little painful.
Only then did I hear the emperor say in a deep voice: "Okay, get up." ”
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Dong hurriedly got up, his eyes went up slightly, he caught a glimpse of the emperor's expressionless face, and his heart fell, but he heard the emperor say: "This time the regent has overdone it, I will talk about him when I turn around, as for you...... I heard that your youngest son is fifteen years old this year, and it is time to make meritorious contributions and be knighted, and there is still a lack of a lieutenant in the cavalry battalion, so let your youngest son go over first, start with the captain, and then slowly rise up. ”
Jiang Dong's eyes widened in disbelief.
The lieutenant of the cavalry battalion, which is the same as the forbidden army in Beijing, is also responsible for guarding the capital, even if the lowest official position is from the sixth grade.
His youngest son Jiang Chun was able to enter the Xiaocai camp and was still a lieutenant appointed by His Majesty, which shows that he has a great future.
Jiang Dong was so excited that his heart trembled.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty Longen, Weichen will definitely convey it to Chun'er, so that he can do things for His Majesty and never give up! ”
The emperor was a little tired and waved his hand tiredly.
"Alright, let's go."
"Yes."
After receiving the reward, Jiang Dong naturally would not mention Xiao Jingxing's whipping of Wei Wanying without his eyes.
After all, the reason why he mentioned it, in addition to his own humiliation, was that he was afraid that after this matter became a big problem, it would affect his career when it reached the ears of the emperor.
But now, although the emperor did not say anything on the surface, he had actually expressed his attitude to him.
Wei Wanying is Wei Wanying, he is him.
No matter what his backyard is, his ability to work, the emperor still recognizes.
So Xiao Jingxing's thing was that he didn't do it right.
The emperor is willing to appease Jiang Dong for him, Jiang Dong is already the left minister, there is no way to rise, and he will be rewarded with some gold, silver and jewelry, I am afraid that he will not be able to block the mouth of this leisurely public.
Only by rewarding his family, especially his son, let outsiders know that even if there is a fire in the backyard of the Jiang family, Jiang Dong has offended the regent, but the emperor believes in him and will continue to reuse the Jiang family, the Jiang family is not only Jiang Dong, Jiang Dong's son will continue to do things for the emperor.
Then, the glory and wealth of the Jiang family will continue to be retained, and those courtiers who listen to the rumors and the wind blows on both sides will naturally not dare to criticize the Jiang family behind their backs.
Jiang Dong is a good person, so he naturally understands the emperor's intentions.
Therefore, after receiving the reward, he hurriedly left the palace and returned home.
The emperor has already given him the stairs, and the rest is up to him to operate.
Following.
Early in the morning, Chang Xi, the great eunuch beside the emperor, took people out of the palace to announce the decree.
When Jiang Dong returned home last night, he made the emperor's meaning clear to his family, so the Jiang family knew about it.
At this time, when they learned that Chang Xi was coming, the Jiang family did not panic, but was in order, and let people go outside to greet them with great fanfare, eager to let everyone in the capital know that the emperor rewarded them as if the Jiang family had been rewarded.
Actually, it's understandable.
Jiang Dong knew that it was too late last night, and Wei Wanying's matter might not have spread yet.
But as soon as the morning dawns today, people at the city gate come in and out, and everyone will see how Wei Wanying was whipped.
At that time, rumors about the Jiang Mansion will be very loud.
Only the bigger Jiang Dong puts the formation, the more people can know how much the emperor spoils their Jiang family, and Wei Wanying's matter has no impact on their Jiang family at all.
It's just a woman in the backyard, people die like lights out, and the regent really thinks that the foundation of the Jiang family will be shaken because of her?
It's ridiculous!
Jiang Dong held his head high and strode to accept the emperor's holy decree.
After receiving the decree, he led his family to thank the emperor.
Chang Xi looked at him and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Zuo Xiang, congratulations to Jiang Duwei, Lord Zuo Xiang can be regarded as a blessing in disguise after this incident." ”
Isn't it just a blessing in disguise?
You must know that the Xiaocai Battalion is the emperor's family guard, which directly belongs to the emperor, and Jiang Chun easily took the position of captain, which is a good thing that many children of families in Beijing dare not think of.
If Jiang Dong hadn't gone to the palace to make such a scene, he would not have been able to find such a position.
Jiang Dongle laughed.
"Thank you, father-in-law, I don't know if the emperor has any other words?"
Chang Xi's father-in-law glanced at him appreciatively.
Jiang Dong can get to today's position, he does have some ability, knowing that the emperor will not easily give such an important position to others, and there must be other requirements, so instead of asking the other party to mention something, it is better to take the initiative to ask it himself to show his loyalty.
Chang Xi said: "The emperor said that the Jiang family is full of loyalty and goodness, and will not be affected by a woman's reputation. ”
Jiang Dong was stunned.
I immediately understood what the emperor meant.
The emperor asked him to take a leave of absence from Wei Wanying.
Also.
Wei Wanying was originally the daughter of a criminal minister, because the Dayuan Dynasty was not strict with the management of this kind of thing, so he was able to ask the emperor's permission to marry Wei Wanying and ransom her out of the Qinglou.
However, the lack of strict management does not mean that the Great Yuan Dynasty advocated this kind of atmosphere.
What the emperor means now is that no matter what he says, Wei Wanying's matter will still have an impact on the reputation of the Jiang family, and since he wants to reuse the Jiang family, he naturally doesn't want his subordinates to be a person full of stigma.
Therefore, if you want to completely clean yourself, you can only abandon the pawn to protect the handsome.
Anyway, Wei Wanying is already dead, no matter how much she splashes dirty water on her, she can't wake up.
What's more, he is not a splash of dirty water.
She did those things in the first place, so why did Jiang Fu bear the stigma for her?
So, Jiang Dong quickly figured it out.
He said respectfully: "Yes, the old minister understands the emperor's hard work, and asks his father-in-law to tell him on his behalf, and the old minister will definitely handle this matter well and never disappoint His Majesty's expectations." ”
Chang Xi's father-in-law nodded with satisfaction, helped Jiang Dong up again, and then said, "Xiangye has nothing else to do, our family will go back." ”
"Father-in-law and slow."
Jiang Dong called Chang Xi's father-in-law, and asked his subordinates to bring a golden sandalwood box, handed it to Chang Xi, and said with a smile: "This is a little bit of the lower official's heart, and please don't see your father-in-law." ”
Chang Xi raised his eyebrows, took the box with his hand and weighed it, and suddenly smiled.
