It is said that Jia Lian has made a price - I want to open an official bank account.
The emperor has also agreed - let you open an official account.
Jia Lian should just accept it as soon as he sees fit. Those who know the current affairs should never mention anything about being loyal and obedient to the prince from now on. They should only express gratitude to the emperor, say many nice words, sing happy songs, and make the emperor feel comfortable. This is the most correct script.
.
But the problem is that Jia Lian once again changed the script without authorization and forced himself to add drama.
This made the emperor suddenly feel dissatisfied:
What? You still want to push your limits?
If you are shameless, then you can expect to be slapped in the face.
.
But the emperor suddenly remembered again the calm demeanor of his grandfather, Emperor Taizong, and felt that he could not be as impatient and tasteless as his father, the emperor. He quickly opened his frowned eyebrows and said lightly:
"Oh? You asked for money and I gave it to you. What else do you want?"
When these words came from the mouth of a superior, the meaning behind them actually sounded a bit like a threat and warning.
Jia Lian pursed his lips, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally said:
"The secret collusion between my servant Lai Da and King Zhongshun's steward He Jin must be properly resolved in order to stop the public from talking about it.
Wan Fang, the pawnshop manager Ye Qiming, and the store's clerks should dispatch him far away according to the law.
The minister's servant Laida has been executed at home by the minister, and his whole family has been arrested.
Now I want to take advantage of Lai's crime of stealing the things given to me by the emperor in my family, so I will send all the slaves named Lai to the north of Liaoxi to cultivate wasteland in my village, and order people to guard them day and night, and they will never leave.
The only son of the Lai family, Lai Shangrong, has been released as a common man in his early years, and I have no right to deal with him. Now I want to sentence him to be hanged in prison for stealing and hiding things given by the emperor. Please make your decision.
In addition, there was Shanziye Bi Shaogong who planned a provincial residence for the minister's family. He was a guest of the Zhongshun Prince's Palace earlier and was also involved in the corruption of Lai Da and others. Because he was not young, the minister also suggested that
He is sent to the frontier, and his life and death are determined by heaven. I wonder what your majesty will do?"
The emperor let out a sigh of relief.
Hey, it turns out that Jia Lian wants to help King Zhongshun silence others and silence them. What else is not allowed?
The emperor waved his hand very generously:
"This matter will be handled according to your suggestion."
.
However, these are all "smoke screens" released by Jia Lian.
Will I silence others for King Zhongshun?
Will I help King Zhongshun silence others?
Hum hum, dream on you!
Don’t be so beautiful that your nose will bubble with snot!
King Zhongshun has been harboring bad ideas towards my Jia family, and now he stabs me in the back. Can this end like this?
Since you dare to provoke me, even if you are the emperor's younger brother, I will have to let you lose a piece of flesh, otherwise, you will not know how old you will be next time!
Jia Lian did not intend to elaborate on the feng shui matter in front of the emperor. As long as the relationship between this person and the Zhongshun Palace was made clear, and the emperor agreed to deal with him and let him "live and die by nature", then the old man would naturally die at the right time.
.
The tip of Jia Lian's sword pointed at Prince Zhongshun's arm - He Jin.
.
Jia Lian's eyebrows frowned even more deliberately:
"Everything that needs to be cleaned up here has been cleaned up, that is, Prince Zhongshun..."
The emperor is also a smart man, and he knows the elegant meaning of string songs after listening to them.
Of course he understood that Jia Lian's words were a reminder: I have silenced all the mouths that should be silenced and blocked all the mouths that should be blocked, so King Zhongshun has to do something.
The emperor pondered for a while and finally said:
"I understand. He Jin, the butler of Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, also needs to clean up."
Judging from Jia Lian's reaction, it was quite bland, which was somewhat beyond the emperor's expectation:
"Isn't this what you want?"
Jia Lian sighed softly:
"There is a domestic slave like Lai Da in my family. It is true that the Jia family has always been lax in running the family, and I have failed to do so. I apologize.
Anyway, I can't afford to support so many domestic slaves now. After I go back, I don't care about my dignity anymore. I will sell those who should be sold and let those who should be let go.
It’s just that I really don’t know how my family offended Prince Zhongshun, and I’m still very scared.”
.
How did the Jia family offend Prince Zhongshun?
No one else knew it, but the emperor himself knew it very well.
However, this matter is very relevant, so naturally it cannot be mentioned at all.
So the emperor pretended to be relaxed and smiled:
"You are overthinking this matter. King Zhongshun is not the kind of person who plots behind the scenes. This matter must be caused by He Jin himself.
Now that He Jin has been disposed of, I will ask King Zhongshun to compensate you with some silver, so that there will be nothing to offend between your Jia family and King Zhongshun, and it will also make your money easy, how about it?"
Jia Lian is also welcome:
"The emperor has spoken, and I must obey.
I don’t dare to open my mouth like a lion, so I just want to be loyal and obedient to the Wang family’s Jixian Tower.”
"What Jixian Tower?"
"It's just a restaurant. I heard it's quite profitable."
The emperor frowned:
"Tell me, why do you always talk about money?"
Jia Lian grinned:
"I also want to be a dandy like in the past, but now the Jia family is really just an empty frame.
The emperor also knows that my father is an official and refuses to be a good official, and my uncle is an official who wants to be a good official but is not good at it.
Jia Zhu, the only member of the minister's family who had ever been elected, is gone again. Baoyu, the second son of the second uncle's family, refused to take the imperial examination even if he killed himself. He wanted to be a poet. Jia Huan, the third son of the second uncle's family, was not very popular and was not good at school.
The three are out of stock. My only brother Jia Cong is still too young. The last time he learned to write, he had black eyebrows and a black mouth, as if he had found a live monkey.
Everyone in this family is a master of spending money. Since I am the head of the family, I have to find a way to support this family, right?"
.
What he said was so candid that the emperor couldn't help but be moved.
Nowadays, the Rongguo Mansion is indeed full of trash, which is good.
It’s good that a capable Jia Lian emerged from this useless family.
The capable Jia Lian was dragged down by the waste of this family and could only think about money all day long. It would be better.
From this point of view, the four princes and eight princes are by no means monolithic. With his sharp eyesight, he picked out Jia Lian from the trash of the Jia family and let him be used for his own purposes. He became a sharp blade that knocked into the hero sect. Such a sharp blade
In your own hands, why worry about not being able to solve the hero faction?
The emperor suddenly felt proud. It turned out that his political skills were very good. He had easily found a way to resolve this problem that even Taizong's grandfather had a headache.
Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!
.
The emperor, who was very proud of himself, was like a loving uncle, encouraging and comforting Jia Lian. Finally, he was so excited that he wrote "Fu Fu En Rong" on the "Cheng Xintang Paper" presented by King Zhong Shun.
Four words rewarded to Jia Lian.
Seeing Jia Lian holding the calligraphy gift given by the emperor in both hands and walking away with tears of gratitude, the emperor's face immediately sank:
"Wei Tongguang, go and call King Zhongshun for me!"
