The True Winner of the Red Chamber

Can't wait to activate the golden finger that increased the credibility of speaking, Zhen Yingjia spoke.

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate!" His voice was very firm, "I want to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to be a censor!"

The emperor froze for a moment, this answer was really beyond his expectation.

Even if the censor's promotion can be said to be able to achieve six ministers, and even enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, but this road is more difficult than other options.

The emperor smiled, and when he spoke again, his tone had relaxed a lot, and the kindness he had deliberately maintained before had also turned into genuine kindness.

"You tell me well."

"The censor performs the duty of supervising, correcting and impeaching hundreds of ministers, discerning injustice, admiring all parties, and serving as the emperor's eyes, ears and discipline." The first sentence Zhen Yingjia said was very firm, as if he had longed for the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The following words are a bit hesitant, "I was born in the south of the Yangtze River, grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, a place in the south of the Yangtze River... Although singing and dancing are peaceful, but calm down, the lives of the people fluctuate from time to time... There are also the Salt Gang and the Cao Gang, etc... Especially the salt tax." Zhen Yingjia stopped talking.

The emperor didn't speak, he looked at Zhen Yingjia, and knocked on the desk subconsciously.

This action Zhen Yingjia knew that once the emperor had any unresolved embarrassment, he would subconsciously perform this action.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhen Yingjia quickly looked up. The emperor stared at the memorial on the table, his brows were furrowed, and he said nothing.

After a while, the emperor suddenly changed his expression and said, "The eldest daughter of your family was serving in front of the princess?"

Zhen Yingjia was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously nodded.

He also thought that this was the most ironic thing, no wonder Prince Yizhong hated Kang He more and more.When the Crown Princess died, the Crown Prince was still the Crown Prince, and she was buried under the title of Crown Princess. The funeral was extremely luxurious, and all civil and military officials went to offer incense.

But when Zhao Shi died, the Crown Prince had already become Prince Yizhong, and Zhao Shi was reprimanded by the Empress. When she died, she was deserted, and it was people in the mansion who dressed her in sackcloth and filial piety. The contrast was very stark.

Not to mention the Zhao family, even Prince Yizhong, he is not comparable to his original wife now, after all, one is the first concubine and the other is the prince...

The emperor said: "I remember... I'm afraid I'm 13 years old?"

This is not good. After asking the child's age, the next step is to be a matchmaker. Zhen Yingjia said: "She was born in June of the 11th year of Jianyuan, and she hasn't arrived yet."

The emperor said thoughtfully, "Is that so..." After speaking, he looked at Zhen Yingjia and said, "Someone asked me to be a matchmaker."

Zhen Yingjia frowned, looking like a loving father, "How old is she?" She made it clear that she didn't want to.

The emperor smiled and said, "Listen first. One is my sixth child. You saw it this morning. If you settle down now, don't worry. The sixth child is only 14 years old. If you get married, you have to wait for missing. It's getting late."

Zhen Yingjia's frown did not relax, and the emperor said again: "There is another one, the third child?"

Zhen Yingjia looked at the emperor in disbelief, as if saying: How old is he?

The emperor was happy, "He proposed to his eldest son. Speaking of which, his eldest son was born a year after your girl, only three months older. Which one do you like?"

None of them like it!

However, the words of refusal should not be too explicit, after all, one is the emperor's own son and the other is the emperor's own grandson.

Zhen Yingjia gritted her teeth, "No wonder he saw His Highness the Sixth Highness in the morning..." Halfway through speaking, Zhen Yingjia suddenly frowned, with a puzzled look on his face, "The third prince came to my house two days ago , I didn’t say anything, except that the tea is delicious and the cup is beautiful..." Zhen Yingjia sneered twice.

The emperor saw him like this, not to mention the emperor himself didn't agree, it was just a test, so he said: "I also said that your girl is too young, whether it is the son of the sixth or the third son, she hasn't grown up yet. We'll have to wait until they're older."

Zhen Yingjia nodded, "That's right, it's only fifteen years old, my girl is still several years behind."

The emperor laughed out loud, and said: "I have seen that girl of yours before, she is very dignified and generous, so I have to pick and choose."

Zhen Yingjia agreed, and said: "It's all taught by the first princess."

Seeing the expression on the emperor's face, Zhen Yingjia was slightly relieved that the matter was over.Just thinking about it, this time all the princes have made a move, only the second prince stayed out of the matter. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no instigation or trick from him.

He and Kang Quan may even be contributing to the flames here, but we have already said too much today, and if we mention something more, the previous efforts may be in vain. Zhen Yingjia decided to endure this for now, and then slowly Picture it.

Anyway, what the two princes are fighting for is nothing other than the throne. Although the emperor is old, he is in good health. No matter who wants the throne, it will be a long tug-of-war.

There are plenty of opportunities to repay in the future. Thinking of this, I don't feel so aggrieved.

Zhen Yingjia was originally recruited into the palace around noon, and she talked to the emperor for a long time, not to mention the meal time, it was a bit too much.

However, the emperor was in a better mood, so he kept Zhen Yingjia for dinner.

Originally, eating with the emperor was a tiring job, but when Zhen Yingjia thought of those princes who plotted against him, she was afraid that now she would be terrified and eagerly waiting for him to come out of the emperor's palace. Can't eat it.Thinking of this made her feel much better, and Zhen Yingjia ate two bowls full of rice with the emperor before she put down her chopsticks.

Seeing Zhen Yingjia's appetite, the emperor felt comfortable even if he couldn't eat, and sent Zhen Yingjia out with a smile.

The little eunuch who led the way when we went out was different from the one in the morning. He must have changed shifts. Zhen Yingjia followed him all the way to the palace gate. He didn't expect to be in a hidden place. The little eunuch suddenly turned around and said a word in a low voice and quickly. , "The grandson of the emperor said that His Majesty accepted the post from Jiangnan, saying that you were involved in the smuggling of private salt."

Zhen Yingjia was taken aback for a moment, and then followed the little eunuch.

The palace is not a good place to think about such things, and there is nothing to ask. It is not easy for Kang He to inquire about such things, and to find someone to bring him a message.

So nothing could be seen on Zhen Yingjia's face, the cloud was light and the wind was light, and he left the palace first.

When they got into the carriage and there was no one around them, Zhen Yingjia's face suddenly fell.

Needless to say, it was done by the original owner, and he was not the only one who smuggled private salt. He was with him, as well as the Wang family, Xue family, and Jia family. They didn’t smuggle private salt. How is the luxurious life of these families? here.

It's a pity that since he crossed over, he has drawn a clear line with these few companies, and he has never done anything about smuggling private salt.

And those who can write a letter to the emperor do it so covertly, except for Lin Ruhai who doesn't think about it.

No wonder I didn't communicate with his family at first, I'm afraid it should be on this matter.Zhen Yingjia was suddenly very curious about Lin Ruhai's book, and wondered if there was a Jia family in it.

Zhen Yingjia sneered, there must be no, no presumably, there must be no, otherwise why would he send Lin Daiyu to Jia's house?

And... Speaking of which, they have been selling private salt in partnership for so many years, and they have never been caught. How could it be exposed at this time?It is specified here that the Wang family's handiwork... specially exposed the flaws so that Lin Ruhai could find him.

Zhen Yingjia knocked on the table, her movements were almost the same as those of the emperor just now.

Don't be afraid, let's take it one by one slowly.

There was nothing wrong with returning home, Zhen Yingjia was used to entering the palace, and the Zhen family had long been used to it.No one came to ask anything, but when she went to say hello to Mother Zhen at night, she asked with a smile, "How many rings are the firecrackers going to go off tomorrow?"

This means that he must be in high school, Zhen Yingjia smiled, "In addition to mine, there are also Yunfei's!"

Mother Zhen laughed even happier, "Double happiness!"

Sure enough, the next morning, the official who announced the good news arrived at the gate of Zhen's house.

Zhen Yingjia was handpicked by the emperor as Tanhua, while Li Yi was the number one in the top two, and also had the title of Chuanlu.

Two [-]-shot firecrackers were set off at the gate of Zhen's house, and Zhen Yingjia's ears were buzzing all day long.

Li Yi looked at him, shook his head and said, "The speed at which you read is frightening."

Next came the Qionglin Banquet, and after that, the Golden Luan Hall was formally appointed. Zhen Yingjia officially became an editor of the Imperial Academy, and began his career as an official in the imperial court.

Get rid of the former No. [-] scholar, and the occasional cynicism of Xiuzhuan of the current Imperial Academy, these days are still very good.

As for Li Yi, he rejected the offer to be a magistrate without even thinking about it, but stayed in the Imperial Academy honestly, starting as a scholar.

The editor is an official of the seventh rank. Although there is a rule in the imperial court that people below the third rank do not have to go to court, but the daily work of editors also includes drafting edicts, so he can go not only to the Golden Luan Hall, but also to the Imperial Study Room.

So when Zhen Yingjia saw a group of adult princes plotting against him in the court hall, and saw two underage princes in the imperial study, especially the sixth prince who showed interest in his girl but whose motives were not so pure, the smile in his eyes Not to mention how intriguing it is.
