The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

"Jia Jue cleverly solved a strange case, maintaining the majesty of the imperial court first; offering strange fruits to benefit all people in the world. The merit is so great, I have to reward him. He was specially promoted to the first rank, and he was named the third-class Marquis of Renyi!" Zhao Qi looked at Jia Jue and said loudly.

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Jia Jue with envy.

In just a few months, he was directly promoted from Earl to Marquis, an unprecedented promotion speed.

How many marquises can there be in such a vast world?

In just a few months, Jia Jue has achieved something that countless generations of families could not do. This honor is beyond the reach of others.

However, this is not the end, Zhao Qi's words are not over yet:
"Jia Jue's heart is as careful as dust, his eyes are as bright as a torch, he is witty and intelligent, and he is extremely talented in the way of punishment and prison. Therefore, he was promoted to a higher rank and made him in charge of 'raising some punishment and prison'. He can intervene in all judicial and prison affairs in the world. .”

Whoa!
As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of exclamation in the audience.

Originally, Jia Jue was appointed as the emperor's servant, and everyone knew that he would be reused.

But I didn't expect that this day would come so fast, and this "reuse" would be so "heavy".

Speaking of prison, what kind of official has such a duty?

Mention the judge!
For example, Da Song mentions the criminal officer, Song Ci!
However, in the Song Dynasty, the criminal officials were local administrative officials at the "road" level.

What about Jia Jue?
What he is in charge of is "the affairs of justice, punishment and prison in all the world", one "world" and one "road", the two are very different.

At this time, he can be said to have the right to intervene in all judicial-related matters in the world.

The weight of authority can be seen.

However, Zhao Qi's words were still not finished. When everyone was shocked, they only heard him continue:
"Jia Jue knows about farming, understands the sky, and has extremely high attainments in "farming". This time, he has saved thousands of people. How can I not use such talents? Responsibility, all farming affairs in the world, he can intervene."

hiss!
Everyone hadn't recovered from the astonishment just now, but after hearing the words, they were forced to gasp again.

Jia Jue is in charge of the world's criminal and prison affairs, and at this time he is also in charge of the world's agricultural affairs. The power is so great that it is really unimaginable.

Moreover, two officials were promoted to one rank, but his rank was directly raised from the fifth rank to the fourth rank.

In just one month, he has grown from a mediocre person to a senior official of the fourth rank, reaching a height that countless people can't achieve in a lifetime.

Really shocking and envious.

At the same time, they all understood that when Jia Jue was admitted as the No. [-] scholar, Zhao Qi appointed him the emperor's servant, and he still had no fixed position.

Because, he can add responsibilities to Jia Jue at any time!
If Jia Jue made such great achievements in the future, his responsibilities would change.

Jia Jue's future is limitless!

"Wei Chen, thank Your Majesty for your grace!" At this time, Jia Jue thanked Zhao Qilang.

Zhao Qi looked at him and said with a smile, "Jia Jue, don't let me down!"

To other people, he usually calls him "Aiqing". Although this seems close, in fact, it has already become a formulaic colloquial term.

But from beginning to end, he always called Jia Jue by his first name, and the meaning was self-evident.

He is indeed a suspicious and cruel person by nature, but he is indeed a qualified emperor, and he also wants to make the country rich and the people strong. Therefore, he really loves and places high hopes on talents like Jia Jue.

"This humble minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations." Jia Jue said with a bow.

Mingji and Liusheng on the side looked at Jia Jue being rewarded, feeling indescribably bitter in their hearts.

Jia Jue solved the case, cheated them once, made them a scapegoat, and had to pay 500 million taels of silver.

Jia Jue's offer of potatoes had cheated them once again, and made them lose the greatest capital of marriage.

It can be said that Jia Jue's advancement to the ranks was obtained by stepping on their faces!

But they couldn't do anything, they could only swallow their bitterness and watch all this helplessly.

Just when their hearts were feeling sour, Zhao Qi suddenly looked at them:
"Two Fusang envoys, I will give you a formal response to the two matters you mentioned earlier."

Both of them were shocked when they heard the words, and quickly looked at Zhao Qi.

In their eyes, Zhao Qi said:

"First, Fusang Ambassador Tang Zexiong's death was caused by your Fusang Kingdom. You burned down the Honglu Temple and spent countless manpower, material and financial resources. You must pay 500 million taels of silver in compensation! You are only allowed to deliver the money within three months. "

Mingji and Liusheng's expressions became completely gloomy when they heard the words. Although they already knew the truth, Zhao Qi said it in such a tone and gave them a delivery deadline, which made them extremely uncomfortable.

"Secondly, regarding the marriage, Princess Chao is not in good health and is not suitable for marriage. It is said that your princess from Fusang Kingdom wants to come to Beijing. If you want to marry my big man, you might as well marry the princess to our court." Zhao Qi swept them With a glance, he said again.

He didn't want to marry Zhao Jing at all, and now that the food crisis has been resolved, he has enough confidence to refuse the marriage, not to mention that the princess of Fusang Kingdom is about to come to the capital.

He could see clearly at this time, this Princess Fusang should be the method of the third prince of Fusang, so he didn't need to give Mingji any face at all, he could come here however he wanted.

Mingji and Liusheng were very angry when they heard the words, they clenched their fists tightly, and their breathing became short of breath.

Zhao Qi's words announced the failure of their plan, but once the plan fails, what they will face is defeat and death.

The veins on Mingji's forehead kept popping up, he gritted his teeth, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Hahahaha! You Han people actually want to marry me, Princess Fusang?" He looked around the crowd, and suddenly laughed, "You are also worthy?"

As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers changed their expressions and scolded him:
"Bastard!"

"presumptuous!"

"rude!"

With a gloomy face, Mingji shouted: "What I said is the truth! You Han people are not good at culture, you are not good at martial arts, how can you have the right to marry me, the princess of Fusang country!"

These words caused all the courtiers to reprimand again, even Zhao Qi's face became gloomy.

"What? You are not convinced?" Mingji suddenly looked at Zhao Qi, and said to him, "Your Majesty the Emperor, you Han people dare to bet with me!"

"How do you want to bet?" Zhao Qi asked.

"We each choose three people, and after three matches, whoever wins will marry the other party's princess!" Mingji said loudly, and the last sentence was like a hysterical roar:
"You Han people, do you have the courage to compare with us?"

"Do you dare?"

He is really going all out, if he can't get married, there is only one dead end.

So, he decided to give it a go.

Facing his unscrupulous provocation, everyone was angry, Zhao Qi was no exception, he coldly shouted:
"I am a majestic man, why are you afraid of a small country like you, why don't you dare to compare!"
