Three days later, in the Imperial Study Room,

Emperor Taiguang rubbed his brows and said calmly:

"Are those ministers still kneeling?"

Xia Shouzhong stepped forward and said softly:

"Returning to Your Majesty, they were still kneeling. They insisted that Jia Hen's military exploits as Chief of the Hundred Households were fake and wanted His Majesty to take back his orders. Then they escorted Youzhou Commander-in-Chief Han Shucheng back to the capital for trial."

"Humph,"

Emperor Taiguang sneered. How could he not understand what these idiots were thinking?

They were just using Han Shucheng in exchange for not giving Jia Hen a reward in the name of lying about their military exploits. He then escorted Han Shucheng back to Kyoto and then What can I do?

If someone else is to serve as the commander-in-chief of Youzhou, wouldn’t he still be a member of the Supreme Emperor’s lineage?

How could he be fooled by them?

"Have the people sent to the border to investigate the situation gone?"

"Your Majesty, we were sent out three days ago. This trip will probably take more than two months at the fastest."

After hearing that it took so long, Emperor Taiguang tapped his fingers on the slip of paper,

No one knew what he was thinking in his heart.

At this moment, a young eunuch walked into the imperial study:

"I would like to report to Your Majesty that Eunuch Li, who was responsible for going to the border to announce the decree, has returned and said that he has something important to see you."

"Let him come in."

After Li Zhongying entered the imperial study and told what he saw and heard at the border,

Emperor Taiguang suddenly raised his head and looked at him:

"Is what you said true?"

"Your Majesty, it’s absolutely true. Everything that slave said is true. Even if I had ten courages to talk about such a big thing, I wouldn’t dare to talk nonsense."

Emperor Taiguang said with a happy face:

"Okay, let's call all the ministers here to discuss the matter of Jia Hen last time."

When Zhou Ru and others entered the imperial study room and saw Li Zhongying, they all lowered their heads and looked at each other, and nodded inconspicuously.

"Now Eunuch Li has come back from the border in person, and everything in the victory report is true, what do you think?"

Zhou Ru cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, if your promise is true, I will stick to the original suggestion and promote you to the rank of general and give you the third rank of viscount, but you will never reward me with a fief."

Emperor Taiguang suddenly raised his voice and said with a trace of anger:

"You are afraid that taking the lead in Kaifeng will chill the hearts of the founders of the country. Are you afraid that not being rewarded for their merits will chill the hearts of the soldiers? Who will resist the invasion of the Jin people at that time? Are you a bunch of dogs? Do you have any thoughts in your heart? Daqian, am I here?"

Facing the furious Emperor Taiguang, Zhou Ru and others remained unmoved:

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to reward you. I have been promoted from Baihu to Yajiang. I have jumped several levels in a row. From the third baron to the third viscount, this is already a great reward."

Emperor Taiguang looked coldly at the people kneeling in front of him.

After a long time, he waved his hand and said:

"Forget it, go ahead and kneel in front of the palace, you are not allowed to get up without my order."

When the game between Emperor Taiguang and the ministers entered the stalemate stage, at this time in the Jia Mansion, in the Hall of Rongxi, Jia Mu and others were While chatting,

Li Wan in the crowd seemed a little absent-minded and even spoke less.

At this moment, a concierge said outside:

"Ladies and gentlemen, there’s a letter from outside, saying it’s from the border gate, and it’s for Grandma Zhu."

When he heard that the letter was for him, Li Wan’s eyes suddenly regained a look, and he felt a little uneasy and uneasy.

He didn't even care about etiquette. He quickly stood up and took it, tore open the letter and read it.

As time passed, the worry on his face gradually faded away, replaced by a long sigh of relief, a look of joy, and a smile on his side. Wang Xifeng smiled upon seeing this and said:

"Judging from the look on my sister-in-law's face, it must be a happy event. Did Lange'er make a contribution at the border? If that is the case, our Jia family really has a successor. We have treasures and jade, and martial arts have Langeer. Thanks to our ancestors, The Jia family is going to be prosperous again."

Li Wan then realized that he had been rude and quickly apologized and handed the letter in his hand to Jia Mu at the top.

After Jia Mu took it and read it, she looked at Wang Xifeng and said:

"Girl Feng, a few days ago I asked you to check whether there is Jia Hen in the clan, and what happened?"

Wang Xifeng patted her forehead regretfully:

"Look at my memory. There are so many things going on in the house that I actually forgot to report it to my ancestors. I ordered people to check carefully and found that there is no one named Jia Hen in the collateral branch of the Jia family."

This is why Wang Xifeng did not report to Jia's mother. The reason is that if you report good news but not bad news, there will be nothing if you don't. If you say it, it will only increase the troubles.

After hearing this, Jia Mu said doubtfully:

"Then this doesn't make sense. Lange'er sent a letter from the border saying that he is now serving as a soldier under Jia Hen, and it was Jia Hen who transferred him by name. If there was no relationship, how could he know Lange'er? , Don’t transfer others to adjust Lang Geer alone,"

Lang Geer is serving as a soldier under Jia Hen?

Everyone in Rongxi Hall was shocked when they heard the news.

Who is Jia Hen

? The person who showed his face and shocked the government and the public, now even the teahouses in Kyoto have stories about him.

If Lan Geer really serves as a soldier under him, he might really be able to make great achievements and bring glory to the Jia family.

As everyone is thinking At this time,

Wang Xifeng said happily:

"Congratulations to the ancestors, congratulations to the ancestors,"

Jia Mu said with a smile:

"You little girl like you can't explain clearly where your happiness comes from,"

Wang Xifeng said with a smile:

"The ancestors thought, why did Jia Hen transfer Lang Ge'er alone? He must know that Lang Ge'er is from our Jia family. There are only two reasons why he did this. One is that he has a relationship with the Jia family, but we I don’t know.

The second reason is that I want to have a relationship with the Jia family. I want to use Lange’er to express my goodwill to us. I want to climb the big tree of the Jia family. In this way, we can have smooth sailing in the future."
