The heavens start from the red building

Chapter 13
Since Jia She and the others really had nothing to do with the assassin, the emperor admired Jia She very much.

Judging from that day, Jia She's martial arts skills were sloppy, all relying on brute force, but it was precisely because of this that the emperor felt that his loyalty was commendable.

Originally, the emperor wanted to reward Jia Amnesty, but he was a little hesitant when he thought of the Supreme Emperor's attitude towards the Jia family.

In fact, the emperor didn't have a bad impression of the Jia family, and speaking of it, if Jia Daishan hadn't made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion, maybe now that the crown prince has ascended the throne, it would be his turn to be the emperor.

However, he couldn't ignore the opinions of the Supreme Emperor. Although the Supreme Emperor ignored political affairs, as a son, he should still take care of his old father's feelings.

Thinking of this, the emperor went to Ningshou Palace to see the Supreme Emperor the next day.

The Taishanghuang now has a crooked face and a slanted mouth. He feels that he is ugly. He lives in seclusion all day long and doesn't like to see people.

But the emperor asked to see him, of course he still wanted to see him.

Even in modern times, there are very few people who can get better after stroke and paralysis, not to mention that ancient medical technology is not so good.

The Taishanghuang has been raised for so long, but it still hasn't improved much, but now he can get out of bed and walk by himself, but it's still difficult to walk.

The emperor greeted him, and he also cared about the Taishanghuang's condition, and asked him how warm he was, until the Taishanghuang got impatient and asked him what's the matter.

The emperor then got down to business, "Yesterday I went to Ziyun Palace incognito to pray for my father. On the way back, I encountered a group of black-clad assassins. If it hadn't been for the first-rank general Jia She to rescue me, I would never have seen my father again. I am deeply afraid, so I came here to see my father."

Although the Supreme Emperor couldn't speak clearly, he still understood clearly in his heart. He was also very angry when he heard that the emperor was assassinated.

But thinking of the imperial doctor making him impatient, he quickly suppressed his emotions.

Thinking of the emperor mentioning Jia Amnesty just now, the emperor couldn't help but think of Jia Daishan.

When the prince died, the Taishanghuang was really sad and angry to the extreme, so he knew that Jia Daishan had made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion, but he still blamed him.

Now that time has passed, the Taishanghuang remembered Jia Daishan's benefits at the beginning. Jia Daishan and the Taishanghuang grew up together, and their relationship was very deep.

Moreover, Jia Daishan was also loyal to him. Now that he heard that Jia Daishan's son had saved the emperor again, he thought that he could take this opportunity to compensate the Jia family.

So the Supreme Emperor said, "Fourth, since Jia She rescued you, you should reward him well! The Jia family has always been loyal to the court. Although Jia She failed the exam, since he has saved him, he can make an exception. "

The emperor understood that the Supreme Emperor had let go of his feelings towards the Jia family, and quickly nodded in agreement. He originally wanted to reward Jia Amnesty, but was worried that the Supreme Emperor still had a grudge against the Jia family. Now that the Supreme Emperor had let go, it was just right.

Back at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor thought for a while, the Supreme Emperor just wanted to restore the title of the Jia family, as usual, Jia Amnesty should be the Marquis of Chaopin.

But the Supreme Emperor deliberately made it difficult for him back then, and in the end Jia She only got the title of a first-rank general, and was demoted several levels in a row.

Now that the Supreme Emperor mentioned it, and he had a good impression of Jia She, he thought of the information submitted by Xiu Yiwei.

Mother Jia was partial to her younger son, and made things difficult for Jia Amnesty, which reminded him of Concubine Xian and Lao Jiu. Although there was no evidence, the emperor believed in his heart that Lao Jiu was responsible for his assassination.

Thinking about it carefully, he is now a prince under his knees, but he is still very young and sick. The other brothers were frightened by what happened to the prince back then. If something happened to him, then the old nine would have the greatest chance .

Thinking of this, the emperor gritted his teeth in his heart. He didn't have much affection for Concubine Xian before, but now with this incident, the meager love between mother and child was even wiped away.

Seeing that it said that Jia Zheng actually lived in Rongxi Hall, the emperor snorted coldly, called Dai Quan, explained to him, and asked him to go to Jia's house to pass the decree in person.

Jia She didn't go out today, because of such a big incident yesterday, Jia She was a little tired, he was sitting on the teacher's chair, and two young and beautiful maids beside him helped him rub his legs and shoulders.

From time to time, he stuffed a piece of fresh fruit into his mouth. Don't live too comfortably. Just when the two girls rubbed him, he was so ecstatic that he was about to make a mistake.

The concierge hurried over, "My lord, an angel has come to deliver the decree."

Jia She came back to his senses, seeing the two maids winking at him with charming faces, Jia She suppressed the turmoil in his heart, no no no, Jia She has left enough concubines, don't add any more.

Jia Amnesty changed into his official robe and went to Rongxi Hall to receive the order.

When Jia Amnesty arrived, Jia Zheng, his wife and Jia Mu had already changed their clothes and were waiting in Rongxi Hall.

Jia's mother and Jia Zheng were also confused. Since Jia Daishan's death, the Jia family has not received an imperial edict for a long time.

The last time the eunuch came to pass the decree, it was when Jia She was attacking the prince. After the angel left that day, Jia's mother attacked Jia She, and finally let Jia Zheng live in the Rongxi Hall.

Jia Amnesty told Jia Yi and the others not to disclose what happened yesterday, so Jia Mu and Jia Zheng didn't know about it, so they were worried there, not knowing whether the edict was good or bad.

But Jia She understood that this must be the emperor's decree to reward him, so he didn't panic at all.

When Jia She arrived, the incense table was ready. When Jia She knelt down, Dai Quan began to read out the imperial edict.

Jia She was kneeling on the ground. So far, apart from kneeling, Jia She has no dissatisfaction.

But there are not many who can make him kneel, except for the emperor, who is also the emperor.

As for those princes, he has a title, so he only needs to bow and salute.

Jia She heard that Dai Quan was reading the imperial decree there, and the writing was very literary, but Jia She was in a daze.

But luckily the original owner was still there, so after thinking hard, Jia She muttered to himself, the emperor is also quite stingy, but he saved his life, so in the end, he sealed himself to wait one by one.

Jia Amnesty originally thought about being able to become a Duke directly, but this was really his dream. You must know that Dukes generally have to make great contributions to be able to become a Duke.

Jia Daishan was able not to be demoted to the rank of Xijue because he followed Jia Yuan on the battlefield since he was a child, and he fought for the title of duke of the country with one sword at a time.

Although he murmured in his heart that the emperor was stingy, on the face Jia She showed a look of surprise, and quickly received an order to thank him.

When receiving the imperial decree, Jia Amnesty quietly tore off a piece of jade pendant on his body and secretly handed it to Dai Quan.

Originally, Jia Amnesty had a pouch with 100 taels of silver notes in it, but seeing that it was Dai Quan himself who came to proclaim the decree, he couldn't afford the silver notes.

You must know that Dai Quan is the great eunuch next to the emperor, in charge of the palace eunuch, and is known as the inner minister of the Ming Palace.

"Eunuch Dai has worked hard. Housekeeper Shou, please drink tea in the front hall of Eunuch Dai!" Steward Shou had already returned yesterday. Originally, Jia She felt that he was tired from running around and asked him to rest for a few days, but he refused and came to work as soon as possible. .

Jia Amnesty had to go and collect the imperial decree first. This kind of imperial decree for rewards needs to be enshrined in the ancestral hall, but the ancestral hall of the Jia family is in Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Amnesty can only enshrine the imperial decree on the incense case first, and then open the ancestral hall after sending Dai Quan away.

Dai Quan pinched the jade pendant, feeling very satisfied. The jade pendant was valuable on the one hand, and on the other hand, Jia She's attitude was very good, and he didn't spend money to send himself off.

Thinking of the emperor's explanation when he left the palace, Dai Quan waved his hand, "Our family won't drink tea, the palace is busy, and our family is rushing back to the palace to report to the emperor! Mrs. Jia, my family has a few words, I wonder if Madam can listen to it?"

Jia's mother and Jia Zheng's couple are still in shock, and Jia Amnesty has been conferred, how is this possible?

Jia's mother was better, but she was surprised. Now Jia Zheng was going crazy with jealousy.

He had always looked down on Jia She, thinking that Jia She was just lucky, being born two years earlier than himself.

Back then when Jia Amnesty failed in attacking the noble, Jia Zheng gloated very much, thinking that Jia Amnesty was useless, if he changed himself, he would definitely make the Rongguo Mansion flourish.

Unexpectedly, Jia Amnesty had the power to save his family and was banned. Jia Zheng clenched his fists, fearing that he could not hold back his anger.

Mother Jia has already found out that Jia Zheng's mood is not right, but she has no time to persuade Jia Zheng now, and Dai Quan hasn't left yet.

"Eunuch Dai is being polite, please speak up if you have anything to say."

Dai Quan took a look at Jia Zheng, he was so smart, he immediately realized that Jia Zheng was unhappy, Dai Quan curled his lips.

"Old Madam, the Holy Majesty often said that since ancient times, the elders and the younger have been orderly, and the ruler and his ministers have righteousness. Disregarding the elder and younger is the root of chaos in the family. The plaque of Rongxi Hall was bestowed by the Emperor Taizu himself, but not everyone can live in it. of."

When Jia's mother heard this, her face became ugly, and Jia Zheng's face turned red, and she cursed Dai Quan as an old eunuch in her heart.

However, Jia Zheng has always been a bully and fears the tough. No matter how angry he was, he would not dare to offend Dai Quan, so he could only hold his anger in his stomach.

Mother Jia understood that although Dai Quan said he was persuading herself, it was actually the emperor who wanted to support Jia Amnesty.

Although Jia's mother was reluctant, she also knew that if she didn't express her opinion, she would really be committing suicide.

"My father-in-law reminded me that I am too confused, second child, you will move out of Rongxi hall tomorrow and let your elder brother live in."

After speaking, Mother Jia glanced at Jia Amnesty, thinking to make him humble, at least give Jia Zheng more time to move.

But Jia Amnesty was not polite at all, and just cupped his hands, "Thank you mother, let the son clean up when he goes back, and make room for the second brother."

Mother Jia was depressed. He just asked Jia Zheng to move out of Rongxi Hall, but he didn't want him to move to Jia Amnesty.

The place where Jia She lives now is very remote, and the place is small, not far from the stables, it's really not a good place.

Jia Mu quickly said, "That's not necessary. After all, you have lived for so long and you have feelings. Our house is not short of space, so let it be empty. Your brother can let him live in Lixiangyuan!"

Jia She shook his head, and said righteously, "How is this possible? Lixiangyuan is the last resting place for father, and the son wants to keep it to commemorate his father. As for the other places, they are too small. After much deliberation, let the second brother live in it." I'd better go there."

Before Jia's mother could speak, Dai Quan slapped her hands, "Mr. Rong is really a filial person. The old lady is really good at raising children!"

After being told by Dai Quan, Mother Jia couldn't say anything more, so she could only acquiesce that Jia Zheng moved there.

Dai Quan saw that the matter was over, so he didn't stay any longer, offered to leave, and told Jia Amnesty before leaving, "Ronghou don't rush into the palace to thank you, it's not too late to go after taking care of the family affairs, the emperor told me that this The government has been busy for a few days, so I will let you enter the palace in three days."

Jia Amnesty thanked Dai Quan with his hand, and then personally sent him out.

After sending Dai Quan away, Jia She went back to Rongxi Hall. Mother Jia and Jia Zheng and his wife hadn't left yet. Although Jia She was sealed off, there was no happy atmosphere in Rongxi Hall.

Mother Jia looked at Jia Amnesty with complicated eyes. Of course, Mother Jia was happy that the Jia family was able to regain its prosperity, but thinking that all of this was brought about by Jia Amnesty, she seemed not so happy again.

Now that Jia She has made a contribution to the rescue, the emperor will definitely reuse him in the future. It would have been okay if Jia She obeyed his words before, but judging from Jia She's recent performance, he is now out of his control.

Compared with Jia's mother, Jia Zheng and his wife felt that it was much simpler. Jia Zheng was jealous and hated. He felt that Jia She had bad luck and hated Jia She for driving him out of Rongxi Hall.

But Mrs. Wang's thinking was even more beautiful. He thought that after Jia Amnesty became a marquis, Jia Zhu would be higher in rank when he inherited the title in the future.

Now she completely regards the title as belonging to the Second Household, she has never thought about Jia Lian, and even if Jia Lian is gone, Jia She is so young, she will definitely regenerate.

Jia Amnesty didn't care how Jia's mother and others were feeling, he was in a good mood anyway, he was promoted to noble and kicked Jia Zheng out of Rongxi Hall.

Jia Amnesty was in a good mood, so of course he was generous, "Housekeeper Shou, tell me to go on. I am very happy today. The servants serving in the mansion will each be rewarded with one month's silver, and Jia Yi and his soldiers will be rewarded for another three months."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang frowned, "Uncle, this is too much for you, there are so many people in the family, this is a lot of expenses."

Jia She was disappointed and looked unhappy. Thinking of the news brought back from Jinling by Housekeeper Shou, Jia She sneered. He wanted to wait a little longer, but now that Mrs. Wang jumped out, he took this opportunity to settle the second room. .

Jia Amnesty sent someone to Jinling to pick up Housekeeper Shou. He originally wanted him to come back and watch over Mrs. Wang so that she wouldn't go too far. But Housekeeper Shou unexpectedly gave him a surprise.

It turned out that Housekeeper Shou was sent back to Jinling for the elderly, and he was very depressed. Every day he had nothing to do, he went to the street to drink tea.

Unexpectedly, I heard the news in the teahouse that the Jia family not only did not add any land for sacrifices for several years, but even sold a lot of them.

Steward Shou was shocked when he heard the news. This year, for officials like the Jia family, offering sacrifices to the fields is the way out.

At this time, unless it is a serious crime of treason, they will not be fined and confiscated even if the house is confiscated and the land is sacrificed.

Therefore, unless life becomes unbearable, the sacrificial fields cannot be sold.

Moreover, although the title of Rongguo Mansion is higher than that of Ningguo Mansion, Ningguo Mansion is the chief house, and Jia Jing is the patriarch. Although the sacrifice land that was sold belongs to Rongguo Mansion, if Ningguo Mansion does not know, it is a private sale of the sacrifice land. to be excommunicated.

But Steward Shou was far away in Jinling at that time, and the members of the Jia family in Jinling didn't have any directors, so Steward Shou could only keep this matter in his heart and find a way to investigate slowly.

When Jia She sent someone to pick up Housekeeper Shou, he had already found out a lot of things. Those sacrificial fields were actually sold by the Wang family to Xue's family in Jinling, that is, her sister's family.
