The heavens start from the red building

Chapter 67 The Duke
Now that the rebellion has been quelled, the emperor has been thinking about how to deal with those rebels who surrendered, but Zhongshun never thought of him.

When the emperor was escorted back to the palace by Jia Amnesty, all civil and military officials were already waiting at the gate of the palace.

The emperor dismounted from his imperial chariot, and looked at these ministers with satisfaction. He already knew that these ministers were loyal to him and would never surrender to the enemy. Of course, the emperor wanted to comfort them.

The emperor looked around. Although Dai Quan had already been cleaned up, the time was too short, and he could still see the marks of the war.

After entering the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the emperor first praised these ministers who refused to surrender to the enemy, and then prepared to punish those traitors.

Before he started talking about how to deal with it, Dai Quan came in with a panicked face and told him, "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has passed away!"

The emperor was overjoyed. He thought Dai Quan hadn't done it well, but he did.

But of course the emperor didn't show any joy, instead he looked furious, "Slave dog, what nonsense are you talking about and dare to curse the Supreme Emperor, be careful of your dog's head!"

Dai Quan kowtowed again and again, "I dare not lie to the emperor. I led people to inspect the palace, fearing that there might be rebels hiding in the palace. I didn't expect to find the head of the emperor's old man in the dry well in Yunying Palace!"

At this time, Dai Quan raised a tray covered with yellow cloth with both hands, and pulled the yellow cloth on it, revealing the head of the Supreme Emperor.

When the emperor saw it, he pretended to be sad, put his hands on his chest and shouted, "Father! Your son is not filial!"

All the ministers knelt down when the Emperor's head was revealed. Seeing the Emperor like this, they all said, "Please express your condolences, Your Majesty!"

The emperor wasn't really sad at all, but he always had to put on a show, so he was persuaded by the ministers for a long time before he managed to cheer up.

The emperor asked people to enshrine the head of the Supreme Emperor first, and asked them to find the body of the Supreme Emperor as soon as possible.

The Supreme Emperor was old, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already prepared what should be prepared. The emperor appointed Prince Heng to be in charge of the funeral of the Supreme Emperor.

The emperor pinned the cause of Taishanghuang's death on Ji Ying, saying that he coerced Taishanghuang to write an edict to abolish the emperor, but Taishanghuang refused, so he killed Taishanghuang in anger.

Although not everyone believes in this conclusion, no one will jump out and seek death.

Now that the Supreme Emperor is dead, and the emperor has nothing to restrain him, even Zhongshun is afraid that the emperor will know that he has a relationship with Ji Ying, so he dare not stand out.

The emperor is full of ambition now, and he is a little thankful to Ji Ying for rebelling, but this thought just flashed, the emperor is not merciless towards those rebels.

First of all, Shi Xinggong's family, the emperor ordered his nine clans to be punished. Originally, Shi Xinggong sent his little grandson out, but he didn't expect to be caught by Xiuyiwei.

Ever since the emperor rebuilt the Imperial City Division, Ma Zhifang, the commander of the Embroidery Guards, has fallen out of favor, and the Embroidery Guards have always been overwhelmed by the Imperial City Division.

However, after all, Xiuyiwei had been established for so long. Although Shi Xinggong hadn't found out that Shi Xinggong wanted to rebel in advance, he had been closely monitoring Shi's family since then.

Although Ma Zhifang was supervised, to Xiuyiwei, this kind of supervision was useless, so Ma Zhifang successfully captured Shi Xinggong's little grandson.

The emperor praised Ma Zhifang in a rare way. The emperor thought that Dai Quan must not be able to stay, but there was really no one around him who could succeed Dai Quan in managing the Imperial City Department.

The Imperial City Secretary is so important, the person in charge should not only have good ability, but more importantly, be loyal to him, but there is no such person around the emperor for a while.

Seeing that Ma Zhifang's performance was not bad, the emperor felt that he could continue to praise the embroidery guards, so the emperor handed over to Ma Zhifang the matter of copying the houses of those traitors.

Ma Zhifang was very excited when he got this good job. You must know that house raiding is a fat job. Although he didn't dare to do too much, but this time he ransacked not just one family or two, and he would get a lot of money if he just took it.

Over there, Ma Zhifang led the embroidered guards to ransack homes, and cries and howls were heard every day in the city. The emperor asked Ma Zhifang to continue to track down the traitors, and at the same time began to reward the heroes this time.

This time the first achievement was of course Jia She, the emperor directly promoted Jia She to the third-class duke, and the signboard of Rongguo Mansion will be worthy of its name again.

As for Dai Quan, the emperor fell ill the second day after he returned to Beijing, and according to the imperial physician's report, Dai Quan's illness was severe, and it is estimated that he will not live for a few days.

The emperor knew in his heart that Dai Quan was expressing his determination by death, saying that he would not reveal the secret of how the emperor died.

The emperor was grateful for his sense of humor. This time, he rewarded the meritorious officials and specially promoted his nephew several levels.

Originally, Dai Jizu was only a seventh-rank general under Jia She's command. This time, with a swipe of the emperor's pen, he was released directly to a place as a fourth-rank guard.

Knowing that Dai Quan was seriously ill, Jia Amnesty went to visit him. Dai Quan saw Jia Amnesty and braced himself up, begging Jia Amnesty to take care of Dai Jizu more in the future.

"Congratulations, Mr. Jia!" Dai Jizu supported Dai Quan to lean on the pillow, his face was like gold paper, and his speech was weak.

Seeing him like this, Jia Amnesty was taken aback. He had only been ill for a few days, so why did he become like this, "Don't be polite, Eunuch Dai, you should lie down quickly and have a good rest!"

Dai Quan signaled Dai Jizu not to help him to lie down, and forced his hand to Jia Amnesty, "Grandpa Jia, I don't think I'll get better from this illness. Do you still remember what I asked you to do when I returned to the capital? Please look after me." In terms of past friendship, take care of your ancestors!"

Jia She thought that in the original novel, Dai Quan lived to Yuanchun to visit his relatives, so the disease shouldn't be a big problem.

So he didn't refuse, and directly promised that if anything happened to Dai Jizu in the future, just come to him.

Coming out of Dai Quan's mansion, Jia Amnesty went straight back to Rongguo mansion, Jia Zheng was thrown in the palace by himself, and Jia's mother kept arguing for him to bring Jia Zheng back after she came back.

Jia She was dizzy and busy during this period. Although the battle was won, many soldiers of the Habayashi Guard died in the battle. Jia She was also busy dealing with pension matters, so he had no time to manage Jia Zheng, so he kept perfunctory Jia's mother.

Originally, when Jia She was promoted to the title of nobleman, he should have a big banquet for the guests, but the Supreme Emperor died, and no banquets were allowed for the first year in the mansion of a noble like Jia She, so he had to give up.

Some people are happy while others are worried. Jia She's here is promoted to a higher official, and the Rongguo Mansion is full of joy, but the second room separated by a wall is not happy.

That day, Jia Zheng was captured by the rebels and wanted to threaten Jia Amnesty. Although the Wang family had no feelings for Jia Zheng now, she was still pregnant with Jia Zheng's child. She didn't want the child to be without a father. Very worried.

But since she became pregnant, things have not been going well. Either she was startled or Jia Zhu was beaten, and now even Jia Zheng was arrested.

Jia Zheng was arrested and she was frightened, but the rebels did not allow her to go out to ask for a doctor, so she could only rest in bed and stiffen.
