The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

However, the imperial edict had already been issued, leaving him no room for regret.

He simply made up his mind, rolled his eyes, and was about to faint.

As a result, as soon as his body swayed, he was immediately held by two colleagues beside him.

One of them pinched the flesh around his waist, while the other praised him.

"Master Jia is truly a man of high character!"

"When I heard that I could help the emperor relieve his worries and pacify the rebels for Daqian, I was so excited that I almost fainted."

Many officials echoed this.

"Yes, yes! Such a loyal and righteous man, I ask Your Majesty to reward him."

"Lord Jia is truly righteous. Why don't you accept my order and express your gratitude?"

Jia Zheng's eyes were welling up with tears at this moment, both because he was pinched and because he was angry.

If he wasn't still in the court, he would have started cursing immediately.

This is not like being an imperial envoy, this is clearly jumping into the fire pit!

Even though he knew that the other party had won and would not surrender, he still tried to appease them. What if he angered the rebels and got beheaded, but no one would seek justice for him.

You can even put the blame for the failure of the appeasement effort directly on him.

However, after seeing Emperor Xinglong on the steps, his eyes full of burning expectation.

Jia Zheng wanted to refuse politely, but he swallowed it back in the end.

He lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground, sobbing and saying,

"Your Majesty, Jia Zheng, accepts your command and expresses gratitude!"

"OK!"

Emperor Xinglong was immediately delighted.

"The reason why Daqian is so glorious today is because of the countless loyal and brave people like Lord Jia!"

Emperor Xinglong was also very happy and issued an imperial decree immediately.

He gave the Rongguo Mansion a pair of jade bi, a pair of ruyi, ten pieces of Shu brocade, and a thousand taels of silver.

After retiring,

Emperor Xinglong returned to the Imperial Study.

Four cabinet ministers were summoned immediately.

……

Jia Zheng didn't know how he left the palace and returned to his mansion.

After he entered the gate of Rongguo Mansion, he saw that the rewards from the palace had already arrived.

Everyone in the mansion was filled with joy and happiness.

However, after seeing these rewards, Jia Zheng

I'm almost thinking of finding a small hemp rope to hang myself.

Even when the servants bowed and greeted him, Jia Zheng did not hear it.

This aroused the curiosity of the servants, who didn't understand why their master was still like this after receiving the reward?

In the end, it all comes down to the fact that my master is a man of high moral character who serves the country without expecting anything in return.

In Rongxi Hall,

Grandmother Jia was having fun here with a group of young ladies, wives, maids and old women.

Everyone was discussing the rewards bestowed by the palace before.

It is said that people feel refreshed when they encounter happy events. At this moment, Grandmother Jia feels very refreshed and happy.

"Ah, so many years have passed, and the palace has rewarded you with an imperial decree, appointing you as an imperial envoy! This is truly a favor higher than the sky and deeper than the sea!"

"But I can tell you that this is all because the palace is thinking of our Jia family."

"None of you should be too proud or arrogant. You should remind the servants around you to keep a low profile after leaving Rongguo Mansion and not show off."

Although he said so, Jia Lu's mouth was so wide that his back teeth could be seen.

It was obvious that she was happier than anyone else at this moment.

Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded and said,

"What the old lady said is true. We have all taken note of it."

Grandmother Jia then looked aside and saw Lin Daiyu, who looked a little puzzled, and said with a smile,

"Yu'er, although our Jia family has been in a bit of a downturn in recent years, we still have a close relationship with the palace."

"From now on, you don't need to be so cautious in this Divine Capital. If anything happens, just tell your second uncle."

Lin Daiyu was stunned when she heard this.

She lives in Furong Courtyard in the capital all day long, what could happen?

Grandmother Jia continued to speak,

"By the way, isn't your second uncle about to go to Yangzhou as an imperial envoy?"

"You can write a letter to your father later and ask your uncle to bring it to you when he goes."
