My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 89: Trapped in
As soon as he heard Concubine Wu's words, Jia Yu's brows immediately stood up.

What's the matter with this woman? It seems that I have never offended her. Why is it that when I open my mouth, I rush to kill myself?

wrong……

He later came to his senses and realized that she was the one who exposed the collusion between his son King Wu and the Jinsha Gang. She wanted to take revenge for her son.

Emperor Changping and Empress Bai did not expect that Concubine Wu, who had just been beaten, would not stop.

Emperor Changping raised his brows slightly, and his face became ugly.

Jia Yu glanced at Queen Bai. She had praised this woman for her high emotional intelligence just now, so why did she suddenly attack him?

Doesn't she know that she just wiped out the Jinsha Gang for the imperial court and got more than 160 million taels of silver for her husband?
Although he was very unhappy with Concubine Wu, he also knew that the most important thing he should do at this time was to shut up.

As expected, Emperor Changping glanced at the other party and said calmly: "Concubine Wu, shut up now. As a concubine, don't you know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics?"

Emperor Changping's simple words scared Concubine Wu to the point where her face turned pale, and she no longer had the same energy as before.

The crime of interfering in politics in the harem could be serious or minor, it all depended on the emperor's mood. As long as the emperor was unhappy, he could even depose her.

After Emperor Changping scolded Concubine Wu, he turned to look at Empress Bai and said warmly: "Zitong, just now you accused Jia Yu and Jia Nushi of having an affair. Are you trying to deal with them?"

The White Queen smiled brightly, like a magnificent peony blooming in vain.

She gave Emperor Changping an angry look, "Your Majesty, you just blamed the Wu family sister for interfering in the harem. As the master of the harem, how dare I test the law with my own body?"

"Then what do you mean?"

"My concubine's meaning is very simple." The White Queen's eyes flashed, a pair of phoenix eyes that could speak circulated around Jia Yu's body, then she covered her mouth and smiled.

"Your Majesty, you are the son of Daxia, and you are also the king and father of the people of Daxia.

And you also promised to give Jia Yu a favor before. Now that he has finally made a contribution, he eagerly asks you for it. As the emperor, you can't default on it, right?

Besides, don't you think Jia Yu and Jia Nushi are a good match? "

"Are they...a good match?"

Emperor Changping was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jia Yu in detail, and then thought about every detail of Jia Yu and Jia Yuanchun's acquaintance, and seemed to understand something.

Emperor Changping was not a womanizer. For more than ten years after he ascended the throne, there were only four or five women in the harem, including Queen Bai, Concubine Wu, and Guiren Zhou.

Now, just follow the rules to release a female historian from the palace, and then do a favor, not only fulfill the promise, but also gain the gratitude of the courtiers, why not do such a thing?
He glared at the White Queen with feigned anger, but still looked calm on the surface.

"Jia Yu!"

"I'm here!" Jia Yu quickly bowed and saluted.

"I already know about you and Jia Nvshi... please wait for free grace.

Now you kneel down first, I will have my own will later. "

"Here!"

The news that Jia Yuqing had wiped out the Jinsha Gang spread throughout Shenjing in less than a day.

Of course, to the civil and military officials of Daxia, the Jinsha Gang is just a gang of traffickers and lackeys, no different from ants in their eyes.

But there was another thing that could not help but shock the civil and military officials, because Jia Yu, who personally directed the encirclement and suppression operation, teamed up with the CRRC agents to seize more than 160 million taels of silver and more than 5 taels of silver from the Jinsha Gang. gold.

Once the real money comes out, the situation will be different.

The entire court boiled instantly like a pot of boiling oil with a few drops of water poured into it.

In recent years, Daxia's finances have become increasingly sluggish. In addition, with Mongolia and Dajin eyeing the border, Daxia had to increase investment in border affairs. The entire imperial court's finances can be said to be unable to make ends meet.The last time Jia Yu brought back more than 100 million taels of silver from Erlong Mountain and Changping Mansion, the officials were already envious. However, when they found out, the silver had already entered the royal treasury. No matter how dissatisfied they were, they could only endure it.

In the end, five pavilion elders shamelessly asked Emperor Changping for tens of thousands of taels.

Now it's better, more than 100 million taels of silver have been credited to the account, and this time they won't let it go no matter what.

In the court hall the next day, all the officials, led by the cabinet, collectively put pressure on Emperor Changping, trying to get him to transfer the money to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Unfortunately, Emperor Changping did not transfer all the money to the Ministry of Household Affairs as they wished. He only agreed to let the Ministry of Internal Affairs transfer 40 taels to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the rest of the money went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Faced with the resolute Emperor Changping, although several cabinet elders and the Minister of Household Affairs Geng Benzheng were still not satisfied, they could only give up in anger, because Emperor Changping got the money himself.

Looking at the unwilling ministers, Emperor Changping felt relieved.

Although he had been on the throne for more than ten years, most of the military and financial power of Daxia was still in the hands of the Supreme Emperor.

Geng Benzheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, was a veteran promoted by the Supreme Emperor. It was difficult for him to spend money.

In view of this, he attaches so much importance to Jia Yu, a young man who is not yet mature.

The reason is very simple. Not only can Jia Yu suppress bandits, but she can also make money for him.

Emperor Changping, who was sitting on the dragon chair, tapped the armrest with his left hand. After thinking for a long time, he called a eunuch.

"Come, I'm going to meet the people in the bookstore..."

It was slightly bright in the sky at Rongguo Mansion. Jia Mu, who had finished washing, was sitting in the Rongqing Hall, surrounded by a crowd of juniors who came to pay their respects to her.

The ancients emphasized that filial piety comes first, and children should pay attention to their parents every day.

This means that you should serve your parents before they go to bed at night, and you should also pay them a visit in the morning.

The richer the family, the more they pay attention to these rules. As the top nobles of the Ning and Rong families, they are naturally not exempt from the rules.

Jia Mu took a sip of the ginseng tea handed over by Yuanyang, and felt warm all over her body, and the fatigue that she had just gotten up from also dissipated a lot.

She looked at Wang Xifeng beside her, "Girl Feng, have you delivered all the things I asked you to deliver to the eldest girl a few days ago?"

"No." Wang Xifeng shook his head and complained: "Ancestor, you don't know that Brother Yu took down a gang called Jinsha Gang in Dongcheng two days ago.

I heard that countless more gold and silver were seized. In the past two days, the court and the government were quarreling over the money.

The one in our family has been unable to make an appointment with anyone in the palace these days, so he probably has to wait a few more days. "

"Ugh……"

Jia Mu shook her head, "Brother Yu is also careless. He has only been the commander of the Dongcheng Army and Horses Division for a few days, and he has already made a lot of noise.

By the way...where's Zheng'er, why didn't he come? "

Hearing Jia Mu's question, Mrs. Wang quickly replied: "Master, he went to court early this morning. He probably won't be back until noon."

"The previous dynasty?"

Jia's mother was a little surprised. Jia Zheng, the small head of the Ministry of Industry, rarely went to court, so why did he go to court?

Today is not a big court meeting, is it?
Just when Jia's mother was wondering, there were hurried footsteps, and Jia Zhengxing, who was dressed in court uniform, rushed in. Before anyone arrived, the sound could be heard.

"Mother... mother... look... who is here?"
