The information Dai Quan said is not very comprehensive. After all, within the scope of the Tatars' power, their intelligence personnel are very rare. And the level they are at is not high. At most, they can only get this information from the public.

But the emperor was already very satisfied with these, and he did not ask for any secret information.

After the emperor learned from Dai Quan about Alslen Khan's two relocations of camps, he became more convinced that Jia Ke's memorial was true. The emperor was still very satisfied with this counterattack against the Tatars.

Jia Ke led his army to not only sneak attack Alslen Khan twice, but also recapture the treasure such as the imperial seal. This time he must reward him well. The last time he promised him not to be stingy with the reward of a title, I'm afraid this time

He really needs to be given the title of Marquis.

However, the emperor felt that the Marquis was worth the money. Jia Ke not only gave the Tatars a blow, but also took back the Jade Seal of the Kingdom. More importantly, the fact that Jia Ke sent back the Jade Seal of the Kingdom of Chuan fully demonstrated Jia Ke's respect for him.

Loyalty. If other aristocratic families obtained such a treasure, they would definitely hide it secretly for the future.

After all, from ancient times to the present, there have only been thousands of aristocratic families, but never heard of a thousand-year-old dynasty. These aristocratic families will sell anything for their own family interests. If they get the national jade seal, then when the next dynasty changes, this

This is their best opportunity to advance.

"It is decreed that the imperial court will be held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony tomorrow, and all officials above the third rank in Beijing must come." The emperor suddenly ordered Dai Quan.

Dai Quan did not dare to neglect and immediately said: "I will send someone to deliver the decree right now, and the court will be held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony tomorrow."

The emperor nodded, and then added: "What official is Jia Ke's father now?"

Dai Quan quickly stepped forward and replied: "Long live Lord Jia Ke's father is a fifth-rank Yuanwai Lang."

"Then you go and pass the decree and let Jia Ke's father make an exception and attend the court tomorrow."

Dai Quan now knew that Jia Ke was about to become prosperous, so he quickly replied: "I will personally go to the Rongguo Mansion to deliver the decree to Jia Zheng."

The emperor was speechless after hearing his reply. He continued to hold Jia Ke's memorial and read it carefully as if he could never get enough of it.

When Dai Quan saw that the emperor had no arrangements, he quietly withdrew. When he came to the outside of the palace, he gave a few instructions to a few young eunuchs, who immediately ran out. Soon there were more than a dozen eunuchs who came out.

Yangxin Hall, went to various yamen.

Dai Quan himself sat in a large sedan chair, held an umbrella and sounded gongs, and arrived at Rongguo Mansion in a mighty manner. Such a scene directly alarmed the head of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng has always been away from the top echelons of power. It can be said that he does not have a deep understanding of the situation in the DPRK. When he suddenly heard that Dai Quan came to Rongguo Mansion to convey the order, his heart jumped with panic.

The last time Jia Ke was ennobled, the emperor just sent a eunuch casually. What big deal is this time? He was able to use the power of the internal minister.

Although Jia Zheng was suspicious, he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly opened the middle door to welcome Dai Quan into the Rongxi Hall.

After entering Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng asked Dai Quan to sit in front of him. Dai Quan did not refuse and took the seat directly at the top. Jia Zheng sat at the bottom to accompany him.

After the two sat down, Jia Zheng asked cautiously: "I don't know what's going on inside, what do you have to explain to us this time?"

With a smile on his face, Dai Quan said politely: "What's wrong with being an internal minister? We just do some chores for the emperor, and he's just a slave. How can we use such an honorific title? Besides, you and I are old

We still have some friendship with the Duke, and we can be regarded as family friends. There is no need to say such polite words in the future." Then he changed his tone and said, "This time I am here to express my congratulations to Mr. Jia."

Jia Zheng was shocked when he heard what he said, and then asked respectfully: "The inner minister said that he is happy, but I don't know where this happy event comes from?"

Dai Quan didn't say anything else to him, and just said mysteriously: "Tomorrow the emperor will hold a court meeting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Officials of the third rank and above in the capital will all attend. However, the emperor specially ordered Mr. Jia to also attend tomorrow. This is a happy event for Mr. Jia."

Your Excellency will know tomorrow."

"Interior Minister, please tell me a few words clearly so that I can be prepared, otherwise it will be bad if I make a fool of myself in court tomorrow." Jia Zheng stood up and bowed to the ground, his face full of pleading.

color.

"Master Jia, you don't have to be like this. I can only tell Master Jia about this. It is indeed a happy event. You should just keep it in your heart. I am a slave and I really don't dare to talk nonsense."

Dai Quan stood up and helped Jia Zheng up. Seeing that Jia Ke was about to become famous, he comforted Jia Zheng a few words.

Jia Zheng knew that he could ask no more questions, so he asked Dai Quan to go to the banquet, "Father-in-law, please stay a little longer, and I will have a banquet. It would be nice for father-in-law to have a glass of wine with us before leaving, so that he can warm himself up."

Dai Quan didn't have time to have a drink with him now. The emperor ordered that all the officials of the third rank and above should be informed. Although people had been arranged, he still had to go back to control the situation in person. If something went wrong, the emperor would not be able to spare him.

So Dai Quan declined in every possible way, saying that he had important matters in the palace and could not stay long. Jia Zheng really couldn't persuade him to stay. He had to send Dai Quan out of the Rongguo Mansion in person, and then returned to the mansion with doubts.

After Jia Zheng returned home, he immediately went to the back house to report to Jia Mu. Jia Mu was very calm about this matter. She said to Jia Zheng: "Since the emperor ordered officials of third grade or above to attend the court tomorrow, you are just a

Fifth grade, it is an exception that the emperor asked you to participate. You have no merit. It must be our eldest brother who has made great contributions this time. The emperor actually wants to reward you generously and asks you to go and express gratitude on behalf of eldest brother.

You don’t have to worry, just go tomorrow.”

After Jia Mu's instructions, Jia Zheng calmed down and felt that he had a backbone. He began to feel excited, waiting for the emperor to come to the court the next day to receive the emperor's reward.

The next day, at the beginning of Si Shi (about 9 o'clock in the morning), all the courtiers came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Everyone was very puzzled today. It was unprecedented for a court to be held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony out of season. Among them,

Something must have happened that they didn't know about. So everyone asked each other, but in the end no one could give the answer. Everyone could only go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with their heads down.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony is the place where grand ceremonies are held, such as the emperor's ascension to the throne, the announcement of the edict on the throne, the emperor's wedding, the appointment of a queen, and the order of generals to go to war. Every year, New Year's Day, Winter Solstice, Wanshou (the emperor's birthday) and other festivals are held here to receive congratulations from hundreds of officials.

And give banquets. I have never heard of a big court being held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Therefore, all the officials were very puzzled when they heard that the imperial court was being held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. All the civil and military officials came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and stood in line with their civil and military ranks. At this time, one person stood out. This was Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng is just a fifth-grade Yuanwailang, and he is not qualified to participate in this imperial court, but now he is standing here. Although he knows that this is against the rules, no one comes forward to ask. Because everyone knows that Jia Zheng

Being able to stand here must have the emperor's consent. Without the emperor's consent, Jia Zheng might not even be able to enter the Meridian Gate.

The emperor did not let everyone wait any longer. After all the civil and military officials had arrived, the emperor entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The only difference this time was that the emperor personally held a wooden box wrapped in yellow sections in his hand.

After the emperor entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he sat directly on the golden throne and gently placed the wooden box in his hand on the imperial desk.

His Highness's courtiers then knelt down and shouted three times, "Long Live Long Live." They knelt down three times and bowed nine times. This set of etiquette was very complicated, and it was a simplified version of many rituals such as "whip blowing" and "shifting".

In this way, there are still many elderly ministers who are tired and have backaches.

All the palace ministers had finished their salutes and stood on both sides waiting for the emperor's instructions.

At this time, the emperor held the yellow cloth package and said to the ministers: "Everyone must be wondering today, why do I want to hold a royal court in the Hall of Supreme Harmony? The Hall of Supreme Harmony is only open a few times throughout the year. I will hold a royal court here this time.

At the court meeting, I have some good news to tell you. The lost jade seal of the previous dynasty has been found." After speaking, the emperor opened the yellow cloth bag in his hand and took out a precious seal from a simple wooden box.

.

When all the princes and ministers heard the news, they were stunned. This news was really shocking. Then many ministers reacted and showed enthusiastic expressions one by one. Since the jade seal of the country has been found, doesn't it mean that I

Is the dynasty ordained by destiny?

You must know that the Chuanguo Jade Seal has always been a symbol of imperial power. If a dynasty does not have the Chuanguo Jade Seal, it will be considered a blank dynasty with an unfair name and inconsistent words. Since the previous dynasty was invaded by the grassland people, the Chuanguo Jade Seal has been around for decades.

No trace left.

Therefore, Emperor Taizu, in order to show the legitimacy of his dynasty, carved twenty-five square seals in one go to make up for the regret of not having the national jade seal. This time, I heard from the emperor that after finding the national jade seal, how could he do it?

How can we not surprise them? How can we not make them excited?

From the throne, the emperor looked at the shocked and enthusiastic expressions of the ministers below, and couldn't help but feel comfortable in his heart. He now had a deep understanding of the appeal of the imperial seal.

At this time, Pan Yong, a scholar in the cabinet, came out first, knelt down on the ground, and said to the emperor: "My emperor is so blessed that heaven can send down such a treasure. I am here to congratulate the emperor on finding the treasure on behalf of the people of the world. From now on, the dynasty will last forever."

Solid and passed down from generation to generation."

The courtiers reacted only after hearing his words, and they all knelt down on the ground and congratulated the emperor loudly: "My emperor is blessed with great blessings, long live, long live, long live."

The emperor was tired of hearing these words on the throne, but now he felt a burst of joy.

But he didn't. At this time, he showed a happy smile. Instead, he said very reservedly: "My beloved, please be free."

After hearing the emperor's decree, all the ministers returned to their duties and stood up.

The emperor then said to the people below: "Although I say I have found the jade seal, I don't know whether it is true or not. So I invite all the ministers to come and observe it to determine whether it is true or false."

After the emperor said this, he looked around and finally found the three academicians. He said: "The three academicians are all well-educated and well-informed people. Please come forward and take a look at this jade seal."

Is it true or false?”

After hearing the emperor's words, the three academicians came to the imperial cabinet one by one and looked at the square jade seal carefully. These three were all truly learned scholars. They just thought about it, and countless characteristics of the jade seal that passed down the country appeared in their minds.
