Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 162 Arrangement
Jia Rui thought about it in the room and felt that he should say hello to the Supreme Emperor first and see how the Supreme Emperor would solve the problem. If he could not move for the time being, he could only temporarily allocate food from other places.

Even if the opponent cannot be solved for the time being, it will leave an impression on the Supreme Emperor's mind. When the Supreme Emperor comes to visit the south, this guy will definitely not be able to escape the pain of a knife.

After thinking of this, Jia Rui quickly got up, regardless of the getting late, and hurriedly rode straight to the palace.

Although Jia Rui is the favorite of the Supreme Emperor, it is not easy for him to enter the palace at this time.

Therefore, Jia Rui was blocked at the entrance of the palace. Fortunately, the eunuch Jia Rui who guarded the gate was very familiar with it. After Jia Rui gave him a few coins, the eunuch went in to report to Jia Rui.

At this time, the Supreme Emperor had dinner and was wandering in the garden of Longshou Palace.

Accompanying him was the Queen Mother.

The two old men were chatting there when Dai Quan suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"My slave, please come to see the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

The Supreme Emperor glanced at Dai Quan sideways, and then asked: "I'm in a hurry, what's the matter?"

"Back to the Supreme Emperor, Mr. Jia is asking for an audience at the palace gate."

The Supreme Emperor was stunned for a moment. Didn't Jia Rui just leave the palace?Why are you here to see me now? Has something big happened?
"Quickly, send a message to let him in."

Dai Quan got the order and hurried out. After a while, Jia Rui, guided by a eunuch, trotted into the garden of Longshou Palace.

When Jia Rui met the Emperor, the Queen Mother quickly knelt down and saluted.

The Emperor had great trust in Jia Rui. Jia Rui casually saluted and was called by the Emperor.

"It's so late, what's the matter with you coming to the palace?"

Jia Rui quickly took out Fan Yong's letter from his arms and handed it over with both hands.

A young eunuch was chosen to receive the letter and handed it to the Supreme Emperor.

When the Supreme Emperor opened the letter and read it, his face immediately filled with anger.

Where are Taiyuan and Datong?That is the choke point, the only place where the northern grasslands invade the Central Plains. Now there are people who dare to play tricks on themselves in these places. Do they want to die?
The Emperor was so angry that he threw the cup on the table to the ground.

The Emperor suddenly lost his temper and even startled the Queen Mother next to him.

She quickly stood up, walked over and gently patted the Supreme Emperor on the back.

"What's going on? Who made you angry again?"

The Supreme Emperor did not say anything, but closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and then said: "From today on, the military rations shipped to various departments in Shanxi will not go through the Shanxi Chief Envoy, but will be allocated directly to the frontier fortress by the Ministry of Household Affairs in the middle of the capital."

Jia Rui hesitated for a moment, and finally said:
"Your Majesty, it will be several months before the Ministry of Industry allocates grain, but Shanxi ministries cannot support it until then."

The Supreme Emperor glared, and then said: "Do those guys dare to delay the food for several months? If that is the case, even the emperor will not be able to protect his nine tribes."

The current Emperor has hated Shanxi businessmen to the end.

These guys are so unscrupulous that they ignore the safety of the court in order to make money through smuggling.

"Send this letter to the emperor and let him decide what to do." The Supreme Emperor angrily threw the letter in his hand to Dai Quan, who was frightened at the side.

Dai Quan held the letter in both hands, then bowed and left.

"Your Majesty, why don't we temporarily smuggle the grain from the grassland and stop it near Taiyuan for a while."

After Jia Rui finished speaking, he looked at the Supreme Emperor carefully.

The Supreme Emperor thought for a while and felt that this was also a safe way. If the food was temporarily hoarded in Taiyuan, it could also be used to relieve the crisis when necessary.

"That's it."

There was a middle-aged eunuch next to the Supreme Emperor when he spoke, and he hurried over to receive the order.

This middle-aged eunuch is also a great eunuch who is highly used by the Supreme Emperor, but he is worse than Dai Quan.

Besides, Dai Quan held the letter thrown down by the Supreme Emperor and hurried to the Emperor's Nourishing Heart Palace.

The emperor had already had dinner and began his night work again - correcting memorials.

This emperor was very diligent. He started working as soon as he opened his eyes in the morning, had a few bites of lunch at noon, and then worked again until late at night.

He had just approved a memorial when his personal eunuch Xia Shouzhong came to his side and said carefully:
"Long live my lord, the Supreme Emperor has sent Dai Quan to convey the decree."

The emperor was stunned for a moment. He had not had any conflict with the Supreme Emperor during this period. Why did he come here to deliver the order so late at night?
"Quick pass."

While letting Dai Quan in, the emperor got off the bed and tidied his clothes.

Dai Quan entered the Yangxin Hall and saw the emperor. He quickly bowed and saluted, and then handed the letter in his hand to the emperor.

When the emperor received the letter, Dai Quan knelt down and gave the emperor a royal courtesy.

The emperor waved his hand and asked Dai Quan to stand up, "Father, do you have anything to say?"

"Back to Lord Long Live, the Emperor only asked this servant to deliver this letter to His Majesty."

After hearing this, the emperor opened the letter as if nothing had happened. After reading it carefully, he began to look dark.It should be said that Emperor Xiaokang was a very ambitious emperor. He always put state affairs first in his work.

Now I see the letter saying that in order to fight for power, the people below dared to delay the military rations at the border. This is not bad.

What made the emperor blush even more was that the Shanxi chief envoy could make him recommend him, which could be said to be his confidant.

Now that one of your own has done something like this, and the Emperor has taken advantage of it, where do you want the Emperor to put his face?
The emperor thought for a moment and then said: "The Chief Minister of Shanxi was transferred to the Ministry of Rites and served as the Minister of Rites."

This is the best way the emperor has come up with to protect his men.

In fact, the emperor does not want to use his power for personal gain, but after all, this is his right-hand man. If he is dealt with for himself because of this matter, who will work for him in the future.

But this time it can be regarded as a small punishment for this guy. After all, although the chief envoy of Shanxi is one level lower than the minister of rites, the supremacy of power is very different.

This can be regarded as an overt promotion and a covert promotion. Let this guy reflect on it in the Ministry of Etiquette, and maybe it can be used in the future.

"Order the governor of Shanxi to immediately collect grain and grass and transport it to the border. If you miss the military period, please come and see me."

Dai Quan, who was standing beside him, also grinned. This emperor really had double standards.

His own people caused trouble and he was promoted. The governor of Shanxi had to bear the blame just because he was a member of the Supreme Emperor.

But this was a fight between two supreme beings, and he, a slave, couldn't get in the way.

The Supreme Emperor also quickly received the emperor's arrangements. He smiled and said to Jia Wei who was standing below:

"Our emperor has not grown up yet and does not know that justice is the way to be a king. He made such a decree today. How can the ministers and people in the world be convinced?"

After the Supreme Emperor finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly. His son still had some ability, but he was a little dazzled by power and only wanted to snatch power from himself.

It seemed that he was right to arrange for Jia Rui to guard the capital. With Jia Rui at his side, the emperor would not dare to do anything too outrageous.

"Okay, let's go back and rest. That's it for now."

Jia Rui quickly saluted and retreated.

After coming out of the palace, Jia Rui rubbed his forehead. He also felt a little bored. The last time he corrected the memorial, he had already used the Supreme Emperor's order to give orders to the household ministers.

However, there was no movement from Tobe, which really made people feel inexplicably frightened.

Isn't this guy Zhao De'en a member of the Supreme Emperor? We don't comment on the Supreme Emperor's orders. Has he already surrendered to the emperor?
After thinking of this, Jia Rui felt a coldness coming towards him. Could it be that a catastrophic disaster was going to befall him in the future?
But Jia Rui quickly put this ominous premonition to the back of his mind.

Now that he controls the infantry and leads the Yamen, and has Wang Ziteng outside the capital to support him, who else in the capital can compete with him.

After Jia Rui returned home, he suddenly heard the news. Just now, Concubine Yuan in the palace suddenly issued a decree, allowing Jia Baoyu and his sisters to live in the Grand View Garden.

This time it seemed that the emperor's favor was mighty.

Already in the entire capital, the only family like the Jia family that can live in the provincial villa.

The provincial villa was built in accordance with royal regulations, and other people living in it would violate the regulations.

And only members of the Jia family can live in the provincial villa. What a grace it is.

But who knew that there was a sharp knife hidden behind this huge Enchong?

Jia Rui sighed, it seemed that he would be busy again in the future.

But Jia Rui soon put this matter behind him, because the Supreme Emperor was about to leave the capital.

As the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Jia Rui is the busiest when the Emperor is out of Beijing.

Jia Rui had to worry about all kinds of clothes, decorations, the selection of the young eunuch, and the various ceremonial supplies that accompanied him.

Until March [-]th, the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty sent the Supreme Emperor ten miles away. They did not go back until the Emperor's luanjia disappeared.

After the emperor bid farewell to the Supreme Emperor and returned to the palace, he only felt that a big mountain above his head had been moved.

However, there were still a few hills blocking the way, preventing me from moving forward.

The emperor is now very conflicted. He wants to say that now is one of the good times for him to take power. As long as it is done properly, the emperor can become an old man who can only be raised in the palace when he returns.

But now in the capital, the military power is in the hands of the Supreme Emperor. He can call the wind and rain in the court. In the end, if the Supreme Emperor slaps him, he will become a moon in the mirror.

After thinking about it, the emperor felt that he had to endure it for a while longer. After all, the body of the Supreme Emperor was no longer what it used to be. As long as the Supreme Emperor Long Yu passed away in a few years, the world would not all belong to him.

What's more, the Supreme Emperor's camp is not monolithic, and many people in it have already submitted letters of vote to him.

Even some big figures with military power are wavering.

Now that the Supreme Emperor is not dead, as long as he dies, his camp will immediately fall apart. At that time, as long as he gives a slight signal, the mountains blocking him will disappear.

The emperor took a long breath, and then said to his personal eunuch Xia Shouzhong: "I am still resting at Concubine Yuan's place today."

Xia Shouzhong was also surprised after hearing this. You must know that the emperor almost rested with Jia Yuanchun during this period.

This Jia Yuanchun wants to pamper the harem alone.
