Jia Lian entered the Imperial City and walked quickly with his head lowered according to the rules. However, he couldn't help but be curious and secretly looked around.
There were double eaves and arch bridges everywhere, carved corridors and painted buildings. After entering Anfu Gate, this was the Great Ming Palace. It was rebuilt on the site of the Great Ming Palace in the Tang Dynasty. Jia Lian couldn't help but look up into the distance. A towering and magnificent building complex stood on the high platform. The dangerous building in the middle was a hundred feet tall, and the two wings of the pavilion spread their wings. It didn't seem to be in the human world at all.
F * ck!
Jia Lian forced the two words to stay in his mouth. The closer he got, the more magnificent it felt. Just as they were about to walk up the steps, Dai Quan led Jia Lian around the bottom of the Perching Phoenix Pavilion and entered the Zhaoqing Gate.
"The emperor is still waiting in Lin De Hall?”Dai Quan urged from the side.
This was the first time Jia Lian had seen the Emperor in his two lifetimes. He felt uneasy and asked,""Eunuch, what should I say when I see the emperor?”
Dai Quan smiled," Just remember what I taught you. Answer whatever the Emperor asks. Be obedient and don't go overboard. Then, there will be big things!"”
What if there was a small matter?
Especially since Jia Lian had read through the entire Dream of the Red Chamber in his previous life, how could he not understand the Emperor's hatred towards the four kings? He was probably sitting in the throne room thinking of a way to catch them in the wrong so that he could catch them all in one fell swoop!
Thus, the further Jia Lian walked, the more uneasy he became.
When they reached the palace gates, Dai Quan went in to report.
In front of Jia Lian were two burly generals. He kept his head down and felt that they were staring at him.
"Second Brother Lian?" The burly general standing on his left suddenly called out to him.
Jia Lian quickly looked up." Wei…"
Wei Ruolan immediately silenced him and whispered,""Why did the Emperor summon you?"
Jia Lian shook his head." I'm also confused."
A young eunuch ran out from inside." Call Jia Lian for an audience!"”
Jia Lian immediately lowered his head and took a deep breath before following the young eunuch inside.
The hall was empty and cold. The young eunuch led him through the hall and finally stopped outside a small pavilion. Jia Lian held his breath and concentrated, not daring to breathe loudly.
After a while, three or four officials walked out. They had black veils on their heads and were dressed in purple robes. There were birds and beasts hanging from the front and back.
They looked at Jia Lian strangely, then pretended not to see him and walked away.
Only the prince behind him grabbed him and moved to the side." Brother Lian, why are you here?”His voice was filled with concern.
However, he was thinking in his heart that his father was still around, so it was impossible for him to be extra generous, right?
Jia Lian still shook his head and said softly,"Uncle, Eunuch Dai brought me in. I don't know what happened."”
Wang Ziteng frowned." Come to my place for a visit after the ceremony!”
Jia Lian agreed, and then he instructed," Be careful with your words, the Emperor is in a bad mood!”He flicked his sleeves and left.
Jia Lian was left in a mess.
The Emperor was in a bad mood. This was a piece of news that could kill.
"Is Jia Lian not here yet?" The Emperor snorted coldly.
Immediately after, Jia Lian heard the sound of the floor knocking. Dai Quan hurried out, his forehead covered in sweat.
He raised his hand." The Emperor has summoned Jia Lian!”
He glared at Jia Lian with a sharp gaze and whispered,"Come in quickly!"
Jia Lian's heart was about to jump out of his chest. He was extremely worried. This wasn't a trap, right?
There was a small warm pavilion inside, and a throne was placed by the window, surrounded by palace maids.
Jia Lian lowered his head and looked at the ground. He took a few steps forward and knelt in the middle. He knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, shouting long live.
"Alright!" Jia Lian had only kowtowed twice when the Emperor interrupted him," Stand up and speak! How can I not understand what you are thinking? On the surface, they were all loyal officials and good generals, but in fact, they were all useless! You keep saying long live long live, with you as officials, not to mention long live, even a hundred years is a luxury!”
The Emperor was clearly still immersed in the previous wave of emotions, reprimanding him for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
At first, Jia Lian was still afraid, thinking that the Emperor would take him down immediately. Gradually, he calmed down. The Emperor was not throwing a tantrum at him, so what was there to be afraid of?
What did it have to do with him if the neighbor scolded his son?
Therefore, he was very calm and composed. He did not look panicked at all.
This kind of ability to endure scolding caused the trembling Dai Quan to be extremely envious.
The Emperor was tired of scolding, so there were palace maids serving tea.
Then, he heard the sound of tea being sipped.
You are Jia She's son?" The Emperor's voice finally returned to normal.
"I am," Jia Lian replied respectfully.”
"Little Min?" "Your father is a first-class general. Are you also a commoner?" The Emperor sneered.”
This was purely looking for trouble. Jia Lian was just a white body. Did he have any official titles? Was he not a citizen or a minister?
"Jia Lian…" Jia Lian replied.
"Forget it!" The Emperor was in a bad mood. His joke was half-finished and he found it boring." I heard that you have a shop that makes large glass mirrors?”
There was still a tall stack of memorials on the Emperor's desk, and he had no time to grind his teeth with a commoner.
Jia Lian didn't dare to say anything more.
The Emperor casually picked up a memorial and opened it." Did you think of it yourself, or did someone else ask for protection under your name?”
Jia Lian said,"It's the little…person who blindly figured it out."”
The Emperor looked up at Jia Lian and was very satisfied with the word 'villain'." You are very smart."”
Jia Lian bent his waist even more." I don't dare to receive the Emperor's praise."”
After that, the Emperor stopped talking.
Jia Lian could only stand there, not daring to move even with his hands supporting his waist.
After the time for another incense stick to burn, the Emperor threw the memorial on the ground and scolded,""It's this Li Mei Village again. Please allocate 200,000 taels of internal treasury. Even if I have 20 million taels of internal treasury, I can't stand him moving it like this!”
Jia Lian sighed in his heart. Even an emperor would have a time when he was poor?
If they were forced into a corner, why not send out the Royal Guards to capture a few corrupt officials? Even if they did not have millions, they could still capture hundreds of thousands of taels.
Thinking of this, Jia Lian suddenly had a thought. Could this be the reason why the Jia Residence would be raided in the future?
The Jia family's future had become a lot darker.
The Emperor saw that Jia Lian had not spoken." Pick up the memorial!”
Only then did Jia Lian see the memorial at his feet. He immediately squatted down to pick it up and carefully presented it to the Emperor with both hands.
The Emperor took it and threw it aside.
"Jia Lian, do you think zhen should allocate the treasury to him?”
How dare Jia Lian answer?
"Replying to the emperor, this is a matter of state. This lowly one does not dare to speak carelessly.”
"I'm asking you," the Emperor said impatiently."Just say it. You all said that you didn't dare, but you're actually very bold! Why wouldn't I dare?"
Jia Lian only felt that this Emperor was too careless. How could he casually ask people about such matters?
Shouldn't Qian Gang be arbitrary?
"I think that the treasury belongs to you, Your Majesty…" Jia Lian carefully phrased his words.
"You're right! Dai Quan issued an edict to Li Mei Village. All the repairs requested could be approved. Only the treasury was empty and the Ministry of Revenue allocated funds.”
Jia Lian immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
What did he say?
That Li Mei Cun seemed to be the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works. He had always had a venomous tongue and a narrow heart. If this were to spread out and it was Jia Lian's slanderous words, wouldn't he be scolded to death?
The Emperor seemed to have dug a hole for Jia Lian today!
And in front of him, scolding and throwing, Jia Lian also figured it out.
