Sure enough, Jia Zheng was summoned the next day. It was also the first time that Jia Zheng met a saint alone. The last time he met was an old saint, and it was not summoned alone.
Jia Zheng was a little shaky. Before he came in, he asked Jia She. Jia She said directly, just treat it like you are going to worship the Bodhisattva. It just so happens that this Bodhisattva always responds to your requests. If he asks you what you want, just say it and leave after saying it. .
Jia Zheng knew that this elder brother was unreasonable. He wanted to go to Ou Mengmeng to ask, but he didn't have time. He just followed him into the palace in a panic.
He knelt down obediently and shrank himself into a shrimp.
"What's going on in your family? You come in and just huddle there. Who do you think I am? You don't know if you don't see the reward at the yamen gate or not?" The new emperor was really pissed off. Why are there people like this in your family? ? Can you really walk on the street and pretend you can't see it?
Jia Zheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and thought about it. He didn't dare to raise his head. If he didn't raise his head, it seemed bad. Jia Zheng felt that he was at a loss. He was summoned after the unreliable boss. It was all because of him. These days I really can't live with it.
"Okay, Rongfu is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. I want to ask you, what reward do you want?" Forget it, the new emperor. Now he finally knows what Shi Ding said yesterday. The two brothers are both honest people. At least they and Those of the Four Kings and Six Dukes who are more thoughtful than their weight are really not foolhardy.
He couldn't help but think of the woman who provided him with information. She would be the father of this idiot. I heard that the woman from the Wang family was also so stupid that it made people vomit blood, so as Shi Ding said, she was taught by the old lady, but I have to say that the old lady before was not necessarily very smart.
Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he felt a little dumbfounded, so could this be considered calculated by the old lady? Is the emperor going to promote himself? After struggling for a while, he never thought that he could stop talking about going to the secretary to save himself. However, he didn't know how to admit to his superiors that he was a fool, so he could only go to the secretary department to manage books.
"Have you not thought about it?" The new emperor was a little depressed. He remembered Jia Daishan. Although he was still young when Daishan died, Daishan had a very good temperament. None of these princes disliked him. Later, when they heard that Daishan died of illness, they still felt a little disappointed. Now looking at Daishan's son, Jia She yesterday and Jia Zheng today, both look like a small family. How did this family educate their son?
"No, Your Majesty. I failed to take the imperial examination and become an official, and I will regret it all my life. However, I also understand that with my qualifications, it is not easy to come by. It's just that I was lucky enough to be born in Rongfu. My mother often said that I was a vegetarian when I was dead. I have failed the emperor's favor." Jia Zheng said hard while lying on his stomach.
"You want to resign?" The new emperor was depressed, thinking, how lazy the Jia family are, they can't tell themselves, just give them some money, right?
"I don't dare, I don't dare. If I want to go to the Secretary's Department, can I just read books there?" Jia Zheng raised his head quickly. If he dared to lose his official position, he would be beaten to death by his own mother when he returned home. Although he was reluctant, he lay down obediently.
"You said you can't study, but you still want to study? Do you want me to give you money to study for you?" The new emperor wanted to cover his chest. He felt that it was too difficult for him. The Secretary Provincial Supervisor is a fifth-grade official, and he earns more than a thousand taels of silver per year. Although Qingshui Yamen does not have Bingjing or Tanjing, in this kind of place, the royal family will have special subsidies and invisible income. So this guy found a place where he can get paid to read books. I spend more than a thousand taels a year, so I invite you to read books? I am not wronged.
Jia Zheng thought about it and felt a little sorry for the emperor. After thinking about it, he said pitifully, "Then the leveling will be adjusted."
"To put it bluntly, you don't want to stay in the Ministry of Industry anymore?" The new emperor wanted to support his head. Now he actually understood the Jia family's thoughts. They knew that the four kings and six princes were unreliable, but now they were afraid of death. So he found a useless place and let his stupid son tilt his head. He also had a sense of existence under his eyes, no longer silent, so as not to be killed without knowing how. So this family put all their ingenuity and wisdom into how to survive?
"Yes!" He nodded, but after thinking about it immediately, he felt that he was too presumptuous, so he hurriedly lay back down, "I admit my guilt."
"Okay, let's go back!" The new emperor was speechless and thought about waving.
Jia Zheng bowed hurriedly, lowered his head and retreated, never looking up at the new emperor again.
"Their family..."
"It is estimated that the Jia family had no shortage of money originally. When Aunt Jia was in the palace, they were very generous. I guess they have this temper, so the old lady decided to bring Aunt Jia back to save the effort." Eunuch Xia couldn't bear it. He told the truth.
The family is not engaged in production, but it is easy to find a capable person, but he only knows how to spread money and does not know how to make money, which makes people like them look at him with envy. So now the Jia family understands that the most economical thing is not to cause trouble, take Yuanchun out, and lock Jia Zheng to study. If you don't spend money, it doesn't mean you make money.
"That's true." The new emperor was depressed and thought about it, "Who is the Secretary and Provincial Manager now?"
"Liu Zhen, the former bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, was sent to the Secretariat Province because he offended the Prince of Nan'an County. The Prince of Nan'an also sent people to continuously impeach Liu Zhen." Eunuch Xia understood him very well and said hurriedly.
"Then Liu Zhen will be transferred to the Ministry of Industry as a foreign minister and Jia Zheng will be sent to the Secretariat Province." The new emperor was too lazy to bother and said hurriedly. It's all dog bites dog. Besides, when he got to the Secretariat Province, he wanted to be impeached. It seemed like he had a deep hatred. But it's all irrelevant, just trying to hide the truth. No matter who comes to power, Liu Zhen can become a pawn.
The main thing is that since the Ministry of Secretaries has not been abolished, the position of paying people to read books will always exist. Then give it to Jia Zheng! It’s only a little over a thousand taels a year, which is not expensive.
After waiting quietly for a few more days, waiting for the six princes to receive plaques, the new emperor's rewards came. The other seven princes all received the new emperor's commendation decree, and each family was rewarded with two large flower vases. The imperial edict from Rong Mansion came personally from Eunuch Xia.
Jia Zheng did not give him a reward this time, because his transfer order had already been issued when he came out of the inner study. This does not count as a reward for returning the plaque. Therefore, the reward this time is different from the decrees of other Qigong families. This time it is to praise Jia's mother for teaching her children well, Jia She and Yuan Chun Gong for being loyal to the country and winning the Sacred Heart. I gave the old lady a jade-encrusted cane, Jia She an ancient painting, Jia Zheng was promoted to half a rank as Secretary of the Ministry, and Yuanchun was given a thousand-hand red sandalwood Ruyi ornament. They were not expensive, but they were quite interesting.
Ou Meng became cute and asked someone to give Eunuch Xia a purse, then smiled and bowed to Eunuch Xia.
"Are you still tough, old lady?" Eunuch Xia didn't even look at the purse. Although he had only been in office for a short time, his eyelids were not that shallow. He came today to see the Jia family. The new emperor was obviously curious about this family. The rewards are all designated by him.
"I can't walk anymore." Ou Mengmeng held her crutches and narrowed her eyes. She looked a little shaky. Amber rushed over to help her.
