Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 29

The Supreme Emperor stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the willow trees outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

Dai Quan and Jia Rui stood aside obediently at this moment, not daring to disturb the Supreme Emperor.

After a while, the Supreme Emperor turned his head and said to Dai Quan, "Draft an edict."

Dai Quan didn't dare to neglect, and immediately waved to the little eunuch in the distance.

The little eunuch hurriedly brought a small desk to Dai Quan.

Dai Quan just knelt down on the ground, prepared the Four Treasures of the Study and the blank imperial edict, and waited for the Supreme Emperor to speak.

"Jin Jia Rui is the commander of the guards of the Qianqing Sect."

When Dai Quan heard what the Supreme Emperor said, he was so frightened that he almost threw away his pen.

What is the official position of commander of the guards of Qianqing Sect?That is almost an important position to control the entire force of the Qianqing Palace.

The Qianqing Gate is no different from the Xuanwu Gate back then. If Li Shimin hadn't bribed the generals of the Xuanwu Gate, he would not have been able to ambush and kill Prince Li Jiancheng.

Today, the emperor had just embarrassed Jia Rui, and then the Supreme Emperor gave Jia Rui the officer in charge of the guards of Qianqing Palace. Isn't this a slap in the emperor's face?

Besides, after this incident, the emperor and Jia Rui already had a feud, and now that the emperor's safety was entrusted to Jia Rui, would the emperor still be able to sleep?

I'm afraid that by that time, the emperor will have to open one eye even when sleeping.

Seeing that Dai Quan hadn't moved for a long time, the Supreme Emperor frowned, then turned his head to look at Dai Quan.

This glance directly brought back Dai Quan's lost soul.

He hurriedly brushed a few dots on the imperial edict and wrote it in a short time. Then he knelt in front of the Supreme Emperor and raised the imperial edict high for the Supreme Emperor to read.

The Supreme Emperor glanced sideways and found that there was no major mistake, so he nodded.

The other eunuch holding the seal next to him saw the Supreme Emperor nodding and quickly took out a yellow box from the table, then took out the jade seal used by the Supreme Emperor and covered it with the imperial edict.

The Supreme Emperor came over, took the imperial edict in his hand, and handed it to Jia Rui casually.

"Go and hand over the imperial edict."

After the Taishanghuang finished speaking, his eyes became dark again, "I really want to see who is so ignorant and dares to provoke me?"

Jia Rui held the imperial decree in front of him, he didn't walk or stand.

In fact, he also knew that this matter was a good thing on the surface, and he was promoted to his official position.

The guard commander of the Qianqing Sect is a true third-grade official.

There was an unspoken rule for being an official in ancient times, that is, there was an insurmountable and invisible gap between the third and fourth grades.

Only after crossing the fourth rank and becoming the third rank can one truly enter the center of the imperial court.

Only third-grade officials are eligible to attend the morning court.

But it's not easy to be an official. He has to face the emperor's face every day.

To tell the truth, Jia Rui felt a little apprehensive towards the emperor who must take revenge.

The Supreme Emperor seemed to see Jia Rui's thoughts, he smiled, walked over and patted Jia Rui's shoulder, and then said encouragingly.

"Don't be afraid, I will support you behind!"

Jia Rui showed an ugly smile to the Supreme Emperor.

"Long live lord, what should I do if the emperor finds fault with me again?"

The Emperor thought the same thing. Although the people under his command did not dare to embarrass Jia Rui, if the emperor was really angry and caused trouble to Jia Rui, Jia Rui could only bear it.

"Let's do this. I give you a special decree. No one can punish you without my hand."

After saying this, Dai Quan winked as if he were standing aside.

Dai Quan gritted his teeth, this Jia Rui could not be the illegitimate son of the Supreme Emperor, could he?Even if such a decree is made, from now on, Jia Rui will not walk sideways in the court.

However, the Supreme Emperor had orders, and Dai Quan didn't dare to disobey, so he hurriedly wrote another imperial edict and sent it to the Supreme Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor was satisfied with the content of the imperial edict, then stamped it with the jade seal and handed it over to Jia Rui.

This time, Jia Rui finally felt relieved.

As long as he has this holy title, there is nothing the emperor can do against him.

It seems that the Supreme Emperor really regards himself as the closest person, even the heir of the emperor and the concubines in the palace have to stand aside.

Next, Jia Rui happily held two imperial edicts and left the Dragon Head Palace.

However, he was not stupid enough to take over the guards of Qianqing Gate by himself.

When he left this time, he specifically removed a dozen or so seemingly strong brothers from the Dragon Forbidden Captain.

Among these people was Ma Tao.

Ma Tao was originally much higher than Jia Rui in terms of status. After all, he was the son of Ma Shang, a hereditary third-rank Weiyuan general who was the grandson of the ruler Ma Kui.

Unlike Jia Rui, who is just in the name of Rongguo Mansion, he actually has nothing to do with Rongguo Mansion.

However, during the month since Jia Rui took over as the commander of Captain Long, Ma Tao is also very knowledgable, and often comes to Jia Rui to show his hospitality.

Because of his diligence, Jia Rui gradually regarded him as a useful subordinate.

This time, Jia Rui went to Qianqingmen to take over the defense and brought him along.

A dozen or so people from their group came to the Qianqing Gate. Once they got here, they could no longer rush in, because if they went further inside, they would be the Qianqing Palace, which was the emperor's bedroom.

Jia Rui took out the emperor's imperial decree from his bosom, raised it high above his head and said to the guards at the Qianqing Gate.

"The Supreme Emperor has an order, let the guards of Qianqing Gate take over the order."

The guards on duty at the Qianqing Gate knew that something serious had happened when they saw Jia Rui's action, so they didn't dare to neglect, and immediately assigned a person to the Qianqing Gate to pass on the message to them.

After a while, a person wearing an official uniform walked out of the Qianqing Gate and came to Jia Rui.

He looked up at the imperial decree that Jia Rui had raised in the air, and then slowly knelt down on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Feng Rui, the commander of the Qianqing Sect, has accepted the order."

Jia Rui looked at Feng Rui who would fall in front of him, and then opened the imperial decree.

"The Supreme Emperor has issued an edict: Jin Jia Rui will be appointed as the commander of the Qianqingmen guards, and also as the commander of the Longjing Lieutenant. I admire this."

After Feng Rui heard the emperor's will, his face became ashen.

This is a sign that the Supreme Emperor will deprive the emperor of his bodyguards.

But Feng Rui knew that with his small body, there was no way to fight against the Supreme Emperor. As long as the Supreme Emperor had a little thought, someone would take the place of the Supreme Emperor and grind himself into a pulp.

Therefore, although he was unwilling, he still endured the imperial edict.

"Master Feng, since I have received the imperial edict, let's start the handover now. Otherwise, I will miss the Emperor and the Emperor's errands, and I will not be able to hand over to the two supreme beings."

Feng Rui glared at Jia Rui fiercely.

Then reluctantly led Jia Rui into the Qianqing Gate, then turned to the side and entered a small alleyway.

There are a dozen low rooms in a row here.

Although these rooms may not look impressive, they are famous court rooms. Ministers come to court in the morning. Before the emperor comes, they communicate with each other in these dozens of small rooms, reach an agreement, and finally report to the emperor.

Opposite these dozen small houses, there are also a dozen houses, but the style is much better than the court room. This is where the guards of Qianqing Gate rest.

As soon as they came here, several resting guards quickly stood up and saluted Feng Rui who was walking in front.

"My lord, are you back?"

"What does the Supreme Emperor mean? I'm not embarrassing you, are you?"

Feng Rui coughed, and the voice below stopped immediately.

Then Feng Rui reluctantly revealed Jia Rui, and then said: "The Supreme Emperor has appointed this Mr. Jia as the new leader of the Qianqingmen, and he will be your immediate boss from now on. You have to be careful in serving him."

When he said this, he seemed to be introducing Jia Rui and asked the people under him to take care of him, but his tone was very weird, which sounded very uncomfortable.

Jia Rui naturally knew that he was dissatisfied, but Jia Rui couldn't care so much at this time. He stepped forward and gently pushed Feng Rui aside.

He didn't exert much effort, but Feng Rui couldn't bear it anymore. After all, Jia Rui was now much stronger than ordinary people.

With just one blow, Feng Rui fell two or three meters.

Fortunately, Feng Rui also had some skills, so he managed to stand still without making a fool of himself on the spot.
