Chapter 320 The old man in Xiaoge has good tricks

Before going to court, Xu Kai found Jia Rong and said, "Old Xiao Ge, he has good tricks."

Jia Rong said with a serious smile, "How can I compare to you? Not only did you take the credit from me, but you also won the favor of the emperor and the full support of Yang Shoufu."

Seeing no one around, Xu Kai gritted his teeth and asked, "You set a trap for me when you came back from outside the customs?"

"The Marquis is joking, I don't have the ability. I can only join the cabinet because of the help of my father-in-law and his family."

Jia Rong's words are not lies. If it weren't for Taishi Zhang's recommendation, he wouldn't be able to enter the cabinet.

"If I had this ability, I wouldn't look at my father-in-law's face."

Jia Rong thought in her heart: Father-in-law, I have made another enemy for you, don’t you mind.

One enemy is an enemy, two enemies are enemies, no worries if you have more debts.

Xu Kai: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell the Emperor about our affairs?"

Xu Kai is threatening Jia Rong.

Jia Rong was not afraid at all, and her stern expression began to crack with subtle expressions.

"Even if you tell the emperor, what can you change? Will the emperor believe you?"

Xu Kai’s fingers clenched.

He regrets now and regrets reaching an agreement with Jia Rong.

On the grassland, Jia Rong began to set up a trap to let those people get close to her, flatter herself, confuse herself, and make herself forget to be cautious.

He didn't react until he was pushed to the point of a knife and into flames.

Xu Kai hated himself for being too slow to wake up.

Xu Kai controlled his emotions and said jokingly: "Yuan Mao is a good person. Thank you Mr. Xiao Ge for your training."

Jia Rong's face softened again and she stopped pretending.

"He is a talented person, with brains, eloquence, and loyalty. If you don't want him anymore, you can use him to trade with me."

Jia Rong smiled and said: "When the time comes, arrange for your grandson to be a high official."

What does Jia Rong mean by being so calm? Isn't Yuan Mao the person he arranged?

Xu Kai's attitude toward Yuan Mao ranged from disbelief to trust and then to suspicion.

Scholars are so cunning, so Yuan Mao should keep it for now.

Jia Rong smiled and raised her hand to Xu Kai, "Congratulations, Lord Marquis."

Xu Kaipi smiled but said, "Why am I so happy?"

"Yang Shoufu recommends you to join the cabinet to replace him as a bachelor. May I not congratulate you, Lord Marquis?"

"Being in the cabinet? Impossible."

A few drops of rain fell from the sky, and Jia Rong walked quickly and said, "Nothing is impossible. Lord Marquis, please take care of me in the future." After that, he ran away.

Xu Kai was still in the shock of joining the cabinet, and the contempt of civilian officials for military generals was naked.

It is definitely not a good thing to put yourself in the cabinet.

Although he is a marquis, he does not dare to be as wanton as he lives in the northwest.

I am like a pawn on a chessboard, being used by these people, pushed across the river, and pushed into the trap.

There is a risk of being eaten at any time.

Xu Kai hated that he did not have enough power and that he did not have enough manpower.

Regardless of whether he joins the cabinet or not, Xu Kai intends to do the things he is doing well.

After the meeting

The emperor summoned Jia Rong.

There are a few more prairie foods on the breakfast table.

I don’t know if Gao Yun influenced the emperor, or if the emperor changed his eating habits to cater to Gao Yun.

Even his personal diet has changed, which shows that the emperor is very interested in Gao Yun and may have feelings for him.

Jia Rong glanced at the emperor and thought: For the emperor's career, it is more suitable to be a scumbag.

"I heard that your nephew is very promising. How many have passed the exam?" the emperor asked.

"They all study in stupid ways. More than fifty people took the exam for reference, but only about thirty people passed the exam.

Only Jialan, one of the children in the family, passed the exam, and there are nineteen nephews and nephews in the branch.

The rest are all scholars who went to the clan school to study."

Jia Rong did not hide anything. He knew that the emperor had obtained more detailed data, and there was no need to hide this matter from the emperor.

In order to dispel the emperor's doubts, Jia Rong looked sad and sighed.

The emperor laughed at him, "You must have learned this act from the shrews on the street. It's nothing like it."

Jia Rong said: "Your Majesty, you don't know that there are several people who are talented but yearn for a pastoral life.

Yesterday, when the results were announced, they didn’t even ask me to go out for a drink. They just said it would be over after the exams.”

"There are still such ungrateful people?"

"It's not..."

Jia Rong boasted that they were disobedient to discipline and wanted to travel around the world and visit large mountain temples.

When Jia Rong left the Qianqing Palace, Wang Qiyuan came over and said: "There are seven or eight memorials to impeach Mr. Zhang Ge and you, saying that you teamed up to cheat in the exam."

"Whether it's cheating or not will be revealed in the imperial examination. By the way, have you received any news that Yun Bin is pregnant?"

Wang Qiyuan: "I heard something and my uncle asked me not to get involved. I have to leave Beijing and something happened to the fertilizer factory in Linjiang Prefecture.

Workers rioted and surrounded the office, killing the deputy director."

"The fertilizer factory in Linjiang Prefecture has only been established for three years, so why are workers rioting so soon?"

Wang Qiyuan was helpless, "Huang Jun was looking for death. He was involved in corruption, lewdness and gambling. He deducted workers' wages and forced them to give him their wives and daughters.

How can such a person avoid causing public outrage?"

Jia Rong: "I will arrange for someone to accompany you. When you come back, you will visit some other factories. If you find such problems, bring them back immediately, and Kyoto will send new people there."

"Yes."

Gao Yun's matter is slowly fermenting, and the news is passed from top to bottom. Many people in the six departments know that Yun Bin is pregnant.

It's just that they don't believe that the emperor will designate Yunbi's child as a prince.

None of them want to be used as a weapon, but they don't want to be the one who stands out.

In private gatherings, they would still discuss Jia Rong's family history, but the topic would soon change to Yun Bin.

The news spread for about ten days, and confirmation came from the harem. The news that Yun Bin was pregnant was true.

The emperor happily summoned Jia Rong and said, "Concubine Yun has come all the way here, and she carries with her the hopes of the prairie people.

If your status is too low, it will always be bad for the prince and the Han and Mongolian people."

The emperor looks at Jia Rong.

Jia Rong immediately said that she understood, "Concubine Yun Duan bows respectfully, while Rou Jia shows the rules. Since entering the palace, she has often maintained the relationship between the two clans. She should indeed be appointed as a concubine.

It’s just that Your Majesty, the palace examination is coming soon. It’s better to deal with the palace examination first and then mention the issue of concubine. In this way, the baby in the empress’s belly will be bigger, which will be more convincing.”

The emperor was not very happy and waved Jia Rong away.

The emperor summoned other ministers in the cabinet, and they all seemed to disagree with the emperor's promotion of Concubine Yun.

It is said that the emperor was too cold to eat that day.

Jia Rong immediately wrote a secret letter and had it sent to the Longevity Palace to the concubine.

We must let the Emperor and the Concubine know that the Emperor wants to establish a crown prince.

It’s just that the crown prince to be established hasn’t been born yet.

This Jia Rong allowed those who participated in the palace examination to live in other courtyards to provide them with a better environment.

In the evening, Jia Rong turned on a small stove for them.

"We have entered the emperor's eyes, we can no longer hide our clumsiness. We must go all out in the palace examination and win the number one spot.

Even if you can't get the top prize, you still have to enter the first class and become a Jinshi."

Jia Rong went elsewhere to preach, "In the end, the emperor was upset because the ministers prevented him from appointing Yun concubines, so he had to write about imperial power in the imperial examination. Imperial power is higher than civil rights, and imperial power is higher than everything else..."

"But, sir..."

"There is no but. Although doing this is against your wishes, it does not affect our ultimate goal."

"Yes."
