Chapter 764 Cao thief, die!

Imperial City, Fengzao Palace.

When Jia Qiang was led here, she was quite surprised.

It was already night, and the imperial city was originally locked, and the middle official took him into the palace with an imperial decree.

Passed through many city gates along the way, verified his identity, and after a lot of interrogation, was actually led to the harem?

Shouldn't he be accused of disturbing the palace and killed on the spot...

Along the way, I walked to the middle hall of Fengzao Palace with a feeling of uneasiness. As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a strong aroma of pot.

Looking inside, there are two emperors and empresses sitting on the phoenix couch, and below are the eldest prince Li Jing, the fourth prince Li Shi, and the fifth prince Li Xuan who was winking with him and beckoning him to sit beside him.

Jia Qiang declined his "good intentions" and went up to see him according to the ceremony.

Emperor Long'an sat on the phoenix couch and looked at the queen condescendingly. Empress Yin smiled and said, "Get up, today is the Tianjia family banquet. It just so happened that the emperor said that he would talk to you later. You invite us to have a meal, and tell us about Jiangnan. Although the palace is expensive, you can only live in such a big place for the rest of your life. Xiao Wu is also booing at the side, telling you to come and sit down stop."

After Jia Qiang heard the words to thank her, she was not polite. She walked to the empty seat not far from Li Xuan, looked at the pots and some meat dishes on the bar table, and couldn't help but smacked her lips.

Empress Yin, who had been looking at him all the time, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "Why, it's not to your liking?"

Emperor Long'an looked at the expressionless eldest prince Li Jing and the fourth prince who had always been blissful and smiling. With their identities, it was difficult for ordinary courtiers to regard them as human beings...

Jia Qiang was fine, but before he could open his mouth, Li Xuan fell down laughing, and somehow he was so happy, patting the seat and quacking: "Mother, have you forgotten the amount of food in this bucket? That's all. The meat is not enough for him to stuff between his teeth!"

Emperor Long'an, Li Jing, and Li Shi had never had dinner with Jia Qiang. Hearing this, they looked at Jia Qiang's table, and they were no different from them. There were more than 20 small plates, which were very hearty. sewn?

Empress Yin, however, knew better because Jia Qiang had eaten in the palace, and said with a smile, "I've prepared it later, there are plenty of them! Eat first, if there is not enough, I will bring it to you. It's really..."

Empress Yin shook her head and said with a smile to Emperor Long'an beside him, "Jia Qiang's appetite can probably eat three tables like this!"

Emperor Long'an twitched the corners of his mouth, looking at Jia Qiang, seemingly speechless.

Seeing the shocked expressions of Emperor Long'an, Li Jing, and Li Shi, Li Xuan became more and more overjoyed.

Jia Qiang didn't feel ashamed at all, she rinsed the thin venison rolls cut by the Imperial Dining Room in the soup pot, and after the color changed, dipped them in the sauce dish and ate them...

"Tsk!"

This soup is prepared by the master chef of Yushanfang with a secret recipe, and the dipping sauce is made from sesame paste, red square, chive flowers, etc. It is really delicious when you eat it!

Jia Qiang ate with all her heart, without looking at the eyes of the most expensive family in the world, she concentrated on eating...

Really fragrant!

Waiting for the maids next to me to take away the empty plates, and then bring out plates full of all kinds of beef, sheep and venison, until their foreheads are covered with sweat and their eyes are getting brighter. , Jia Qiang finally had enough.

Although he ate a lot, he didn't look ugly when he ate. After eating, he took out a handkerchief to wipe the thin sweat from his forehead and nose, and wiped the corners of his mouth.

Looking up again, the five members of the Tian family stared at him with all ten eyes.

Emperor Long'an looked at him, and said calmly: "Jia Qiang, you are the only one who dares to eat like this in front of me and the empress. Tell me, do you despise the imperial power, do not respect me and the empress, or are you pure-hearted? , thinking that eating is eating?"

Jia Qiang got up and replied: "Going back to the emperor, it's not. I just feel that the heart is selfless and the world is magnanimous. I am loyal to the king's affairs, sincere and filial to the elders, although there are many small mistakes, but never major crimes. The emperor is generous, the empress is kind, Since I have invited the minister to eat, I feel that I should be able to have a full meal..."

"The world is selfless in your heart? If you are truly selfless, you need to be ready to run away at any time? If you don't do anything wrong, what are you afraid of?"

Emperor Long'an asked with a sneer.

It can be seen that he doesn't seem to be in a good mood tonight.

Jia Qiang was silent for a while, and said: "I have never been wronged by the court, but because I eradicated the Bai family of salt merchants in Yangzhou, the second prince will kill me. For an unnecessary revenge, the third prince will also kill me. Is there any reason for me not to be afraid?"

"Jia Qiang!"

Seeing that Emperor Long'an could not come down, Empress Yin yelled and said: "With the emperor here, who can kill you? Li Yao and Li Xiao have both ended up like this. It can be seen how the emperor protects you. Are you still talking nonsense?"

Emperor Long'an snorted coldly, his voice turned sharp and sharp, and said: "I still have little place to protect him? Look at their Jia family, how did they repay me? See for yourself!"

As he spoke, he slammed the two booklets in front of Jia Qiang.

With a dignified expression, Jia Qiang bent down to pick it up, opened the first booklet, read it quickly, and said, "Your Majesty, the Jia family in Jinling and the Jia family in the capital have already separated, and Li Rui, the Governor of Liangjiang, has also made it clear that it is After I discovered the case in Suzhou, I notified the Liangjiang Governor's Office to handle the case, and I did not act favoritically."

Emperor Long'an gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the Jia family in Jinling has nothing to do with the Jia family in the capital, so let's look at the second one!"

After Jia Qiang glanced at Emperor Long'an, she opened the second booklet, halfway through it, her face became ugly, and after reading it, she only felt buzzing in her head.

Jia Lian, why don't you son of a bitch die!

The rebellion in Mongolia in western Liaoning was actually because Jia Lian slept with his wife, and let Xingyuan, the son of the Marquis of Huaiyuan, lead troops to destroy the tribe.

Because it was not wiped clean, the matter was leaked out, which caused a big commotion...

If this crime is confirmed, the entire Jia family will be implicated, including him, not to mention the Huaiyuanhou Mansion...

It's strange that Emperor Long'an invites you to dinner, and still has a serious face all the time, so it turns out that the board was hit here.

Jia Qiang sighed, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, if it turns out to be true, the Jia family is willing to accept the punishment."

Although it is a serious crime to punish the nine clans, Jia's family has the iron certificate of the alchemy, so they can avoid the death penalty.

Jia Qiang has a lord who can stop living crimes.

It's over the sky, and it's just the responsibility of dismissing the official.

Emperor Long'an looked at Jia Qiang, with evil spirits in his eyes, and said to Empress Yin: "Queen, did you see it? I wish I could blame Jia's family and go to his official position, let alone his nobleman, so that he can go and enjoy himself! Now, it's me I beg others to make me an official and a noble!"

Jia Qiang didn't dare to accept such cruel words right now, his neck was not so stiff yet!

Without waiting for Queen Yin to say anything, Jia Qiang kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have never thought that being an official and attacking the rank is a bad thing, but a matter of honoring the ancestors. If it wasn't for the minister, the Ministry of Rites, and the clan's mansion not to deal with it, the minister would have gone to court a long time ago." This is a note for my late father and mother. Furthermore, even though my original ambition was not for the officialdom, I still have the desire to contribute to the community and educate the common people. On this point, Mr. Chen and Mr. All monkeys can testify.

Although I'm not afraid of losing my position, but based on the emperor's love for me, my mother's love for me, and the five princes' friendship for me, even if I let my minister go down the mountain of swords and fire for state affairs, how can I be lazy?Water transportation has nothing to do with ministers, sea and borders are even more irrelevant to ministers, but ministers are deeply favored by the emperor, seeing that the emperor and the court can't take care of these two places for a while, so they don't hesitate to overstep and be criticized by others, and they don't hesitate to offend countless people relying on water transportation Officials who eat must also do their errands well.

The minister does these things within his power, not as an official, not as a noble, but only to repay the emperor's deep kindness!

Your Majesty, I am not saying this to show merit, I just want to tell my Majesty that I am not an ancient sage, nor can I be proud of a prince in white clothes.The minister has always believed in doing things frankly and honestly.

The minister serves the king with sincerity, and never loses his heart.As for the infamy between the government and the opposition, Mr. Chenzhi taught the ministers that as long as they can look up to the world without shame, then they can write praises and criticisms freely. "

Emperor Long'an stared at Jia Qiang without making a sound, and Empress Yin narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly. After looking at Jia Qiang for a while, she suddenly sighed and said, "Jia Qiang, you are so proud... only a generous and benevolent emperor like the emperor can tolerate it." There are courtiers like you. Bengong loves you and Xiaowuyou loves you. It doesn’t matter. But you must always keep in mind the emperor’s kindness to you.

You have Tao Zhu's ability, the emperor uses you to let you display your talents.But you must remember not to be proud of yourself.If you really cross this line, even if the emperor wants to tolerate you, even the imperial court will find it difficult to tolerate you.

Ben Gong regards you as a nephew, and never hopes to see the four words "Heaven's Jealousy of Excellence" applied to you one day. Do you understand Ben Gong's painstaking efforts? "
