On the second day.
Jia Hu stood at the gate of Yanmen Pass and watched as Zhao Gan and his wife left.
As for Zhao Gan's repeated warnings before he left, to be careful of Wang Ziyu, Jia Hu did not take it to heart. He was just a clown.
Three days later, Wang Ziyu followed the eunuchs from the palace to Jia Hu's residence.
"Young Master, there are people from the palace. They are already at the door. The deputy general, Wang Ziyu, is also there. Oh right, there is a eunuch beside him.”
Jia San ran over excitedly and said.
"He's here? He's quite fast. But why is Wang Ziyu here? Could Uncle Zhao have guessed correctly?"
Jia Hu muttered to himself.
"Young Master, let me tell you. That eunuch was fair and clean. He didn't have a beard at all. His voice was especially strange. I've never seen a eunuch in my life.”
As Jia San walked on the road, his voice kept buzzing in Jia Hu's ears.
"Jia San, shut up. You don't like this eunuch, do you?”
Seeing that Jia San was getting more and more ridiculous, Jia Hu looked at Jia San with disgust and said.
At the same time, he took a step away from Jia San.
After Eighteen and the others heard this, they also silently distanced themselves from Jia San.
Jia San was instantly dumbfounded and hurriedly said,"
"No, Young Master. I've never seen a eunuch before. I'm curious. Besides, I don't like eunuchs. I like women. My family still needs me to carry on the family line.”
"Shut up. If you say anything else, I'll turn you into a eunuch.”
Jia Hu really could not stand Jia San nagging in his ear and opened his mouth to berate.
In just a few minutes, Jia Hu brought Jia San and the others to the door.
Jia Hu stepped forward and said,"Welcome, Eunuch. May I know what the Emperor's decree is?"”
The eunuch frowned when he heard this. Generally speaking, eunuchs who came from the palace to read the edict would be respectfully addressed as 'angels'.
Jia Hu did not know the rules of the court, so he offended this eunuch the moment he opened his mouth.
"General Jia, you should address this person as 'Angel' respectfully. Calling him 'Eunuch' isn't putting the emperor in your eyes.”
Wang Ziyu said sarcastically.
"None of your business. His father-in-law didn't even say anything. Where did this dog come from?”
Jia Hu said indifferently.
"You!"
Wang Ziyu was furious by this sentence.
"It's fine, Lord Jia Jue can call me whatever he wants, I don't care.”
Although the eunuch at the side was somewhat dissatisfied with Jia Hu, he also knew that Jia Hu was deeply in the Emperor's heart and should not be offended.
Moreover, he was going to announce the decree later, so it was fine to let Jia Hu be arrogant for a while. Anyway, he would still have to kneel in front of him later.
"Lord Jia Jue, I am going to announce the decree.”
This eunuch's words stumped Jia Hu. If you want to announce the imperial edict, then announce it. Why did you specially tell me?
He was a good person.
"Yes, Gonggong, you can announce it. I'm listening."
Jia Hu gave the eunuch a look that said 'you're a good person' and said.
The eunuch and Wang Ziyu were stunned.
"Ignorant child," Wang Ziyu said from the side.”
Then, he knelt down under Jia Hu's gaze.
"Welcome the imperial edict!"
Jia Hu was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Good heavens, you still want to kneel? I won't kneel. It's only right and proper to kneel to your parents. It's only forced by the situation to kneel to the emperor.
Kneeling down to a eunuch, what was going on?
The eunuch's eyes turned cold as he said,"
"What, is General Jia rebelling?”
After Jia Hu heard this, his eyes became even more terrifying.
"Eunuch, read it. This general's legs have been inconvenient recently, so I can't kneel.”
For a moment, there was complete silence.
No one had expected Jia Hu to be so bold, daring to openly oppose the eunuch who announced the decree.
"General Jia, I am doing this for your own good.”
the eunuch said slowly.
"There is no need for Eunuch Gong to worry. This General's legs are really inconvenient. Please announce the decree as soon as possible, Eunuch Gong.”
Jia Hu retorted fearlessly.
Wang Ziyu, who was kneeling on the ground, was secretly surprised. You, Jia Hu, asked for it, you are dead.
"Hehe, alright. General Jia's legs are inconvenient, so you can stand and receive the decree!”
the eunuch suddenly said with a smile.
This time, the scene was very funny. Only Wang Ziyu was kneeling, while Jia Hu and the others were standing to receive the decree.
Especially Jia Hu, Jia San and the others even bent down, only Jia Hu stood upright.
"By the heavens, the emperor's edict!"
"Marquis Ding Yuan, Zhao Gan, has been injured due to merit and is now heading to the capital for treatment."
"But Yanmen Pass cannot be without a general for a day."
"First Earl Jia Hu will be the leader, and Wang Ziyu will be the assistant to guard Yanmen Pass."
"Respect this!"
"This subject receives the decree to thank you!"
After the announcement, Wang Ziyu went up to the eunuch and placed something in his sleeve. The eunuch touched it and smiled knowingly.
Then, he looked at Jia Hu.
When Jia Hu saw this scene, he immediately came to a realization and hurriedly went forward to say.
"Eunuch, it's been hard on you for coming all the way here. I'll send someone to bring some local specialties from Yanmen Pass to you.”
Then, he instructed Jia San to go to the backyard to get it.
The eunuch saw that Jia Hu was tactful and waited for a while.
Wang Ziyu, who was standing at the side, was a little dumbfounded. The specialty of Yanmen Pass, could it be…
Not long after, Jia San brought a bag of things from the backyard. Jia Hu took it and handed it to the eunuch.
The eunuch was quite happy. Such a packet must have been quite a lot. Although there was some meat fragrance, he didn't care.
"I will take my leave first. I hope that the two generals will guard Yanmen Pass well.”
"Farewell, Angel!"
"Eunuch, take care. Come again next time. If there's not enough in the bag, let me know. I'll send someone to send some over next time.”
Jia Hu waved his hand and said.
After the angel left, Wang Ziyu asked Jia Hu,""General Jia, did you give the 'angel' some dried mutton from Yanmen Pass?”
"Oh, General Wang also knows about dried mutton. It tastes good, right?”
Jia Hu mischievously looked at Wang Ziyu and said.
Wang Ziyu smiled and said,"Not bad!"”
Without waiting for Jia Hu to speak, Wang Ziyu left Jia Hu's mansion.
"General, isn't this a little inappropriate?”
After seeing Wang Ziyu walk away, Jia San asked Jia Hu.
"What's wrong? This General's money isn't something that comes from the wind. Can I give it to you for no reason?”
Jia Hu looked at Jia San with dissatisfaction.
"No, General, aren't you afraid that this eunuch will tell the Emperor when he returns?”
Jia San said worriedly.
"Hehe, it's fine. I'm just afraid that he won't say it.”
Jia Hu said confidently.
Jia San and the others saw Jia Hu's confident appearance and did not say anything else.
Jia Hu was actually thinking," It wasn't easy for me to establish a good image in Emperor Wu Yun's heart. If I give the eunuch money, wouldn't it ruin my image?"
On the contrary, if this eunuch goes back and talks bad about me, I will be safer and my reputation will be more stable.
At this moment,
On the official road, a carriage was traveling in the middle.
The eunuch who had announced the decree was sitting in the carriage.
He first took out the silver notes that Wang Ziyu had stuffed into his sleeve. There was a total of five hundred taels.
A smile flashed across the eunuch's face. This trip was not in vain.
One had to know that in the Great Han Dynasty, ordinary people only needed 20 taels of silver a year. This 500 taels of silver was enough to spend for 25 years.
not to mention
The eunuch looked at the bundle at the side, wondering how much Jia Hu would give.
After opening the bundle, the eunuch's face was ashen.
The bag contained the dried mutton.
"Jia Hu, just you wait!!”
