Qing Jialu

After the incident with King Kui, the emperor transferred Shen Jia from the Sixth Division to the Sixth Division as a member of the household division, Wailang.Shen Jia was not overjoyed when he was promoted to a fifth-rank official all of a sudden. He would rather do practical things in the sixth department than get promoted and make a fortune.

When Shen Jia was transferred to the household department, he found that his colleagues seemed to be respectful and polite to him on the surface, but there was a bit of alienation in the politeness.Shen Jia has never met such a warmhearted person as Master Li in the household department.

Looking at the account books over the years in her hand, Shen Jia sighed secretly, and resigned herself to checking the accounts.These old accounts can't be found after checking and checking.He knew that he was secretly isolated by the head of the household department and his colleagues.

Not only the household department, but even the entire imperial court, those elders and ministers all respected Shen Jia at a distance.

Such days lasted for more than half a month, the emperor suddenly sent his father-in-law to deliver an order to let Shen Jia enter the palace tomorrow, and specifically told him not to wear official robes, just wear casual clothes.

Shen Jia accepted the order with a puzzled face, followed the emperor's order the next day, dressed as a scholar, and entered the palace.

The little eunuch of the Hall of Mental Cultivation asked Shen Jia to wait for him to drink up two cups of tea, and the emperor finally announced his audience.

Shen Jia stepped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and her eyes lit up immediately.It turned out that the emperor also changed his attire today, which gave people a completely different feeling than usual.

I saw that the emperor was wearing brocade and brocade clothes, the style was very similar to the flying fish clothes of the Jinyiwei, and the embroidered spring knife on his waist was not an embroidered spring knife, but a long sword.However, this martial attire made the Holy Majesty even more energetic.After seeing it, Shen Jia thought, this is a bit like an iron-blooded emperor.

And Shen Jia herself was wearing a straight gown and a Confucian scarf, no different from ordinary literati.

"Follow me out of the palace today." The emperor took Shen Jia and two Jin Yiwei to set off, while Eunuch Chen and the others were left in the palace.

The four of them all came out on horseback, the emperor rode his horse at the front, and the two royal guards followed from a distance to protect him. Shen Jia did not dare to walk with His Majesty, but deliberately fell behind by half a horse, and followed in a leisurely manner.

It was the first time for Shen Jia to travel with Jin Yiwei, and he really felt the "excellent reputation" of Jin Yiwei. Everyone avoided him wherever he went, even the high-ranking officials in the capital were unwilling to provoke Jin Yiwei.The group of them traveled unimpeded all the way, left the capital, and went straight to the outskirts of Beijing.

After leaving the city, Shen Jia was even more confused, wondering where the emperor was taking her?However, as soon as he left the city gate, the official road was sparsely populated, the emperor suddenly raised his whip to speed up, and the two Jinyi guards behind him also rode their horses to follow, overtaking Shen Jia in an instant.

Shen Jia was taken aback, seeing that she was the last one, she urged the horse to chase after her.He used to think that his equestrian skills were not bad, but he did not expect that His Majesty's equestrian skills were even more superb, and the distance between the two of them was getting wider and wider.Shen Jia rode his horse and galloped, only to follow His Majesty's ass, only to be able to hold his own.

Just when Shen Jia was about to lose track of His Majesty, His Majesty seemed to be tired from riding, and gradually slowed down his horse.Only then did Shen Jia take the time to wipe the sweat off her forehead, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Shen Jia rushed forward on horseback, and when passing by the two Jinyi guards, he felt that one of them looked at him with contempt.Shen Jia immediately felt ashamed, it seemed that His Majesty was not tired, but was waiting for him on purpose.

Shen Jia rode up to His Majesty's side, bowed slightly to apologize, "Your Majesty laughed at me for my poor riding skills."

"It's okay, Changqing is a civil servant, I forgot for a while."

"Your Majesty..." Shen Jia wanted to say something else, but when the emperor tightened the reins, he stopped.Shen Jia looked up and saw that she had come to a field.

"Let's dismount and walk, so as not to trample the crops," said the emperor.

Shen Jia responded and got off the horse, thinking that His Majesty is really sympathetic to the people.

The emperor handed over the horse to the two Jinyi guards, and only took Shen Jia for a walk in the field.One of the Jin Yiwei looked at His Majesty, hesitant to speak.The emperor waved his hand and said, "Nothing."

Shen Jia knew what the Jin Yiwei was worried about, and he was also a little nervous, and he followed His Majesty to persuade him: "Don't Your Majesty bring a guard with you?"

"The fields are full of farmers, and... I will also protect Changqing." The emperor smiled narrowly.

Facing His Majesty's half-joking words, Shen Jia couldn't catch up for a moment.His Majesty said again: "Changqing, I am four years older than you, you and I are considered to be of the same generation, and we can call you Biaozi outside."

Shen Jia was taken aback, "Huh?"

The emperor smiled, and then said: "My word, Wei Ming."

Weiming, Xiao Weiming.

Lao Tzu said: "If you want to shed it, you must strengthen it; if you want to weaken it, you must strengthen it; if you want to destroy it, you must strengthen it; if you want to take it away, you must firmly give it to it. This is called twilight. "

Shen Jia chewed the word "Twilight" carefully, and the Emperor Xindao really believed in Taoism.

The road in the field was muddy, although His Majesty walked slowly, but steadily.Shen Jia followed behind, always thinking about the matter that His Majesty was not good at acting, but in the end she wanted to be fascinated instead, and accidentally bumped into His Majesty.

The emperor turned his head and saw that Shen Jia's figure was unstable, so he stretched out his hand to support him, but he didn't fall down in embarrassment.

"Thank you...Brother Wei Ming." Shen Jia wished she could get into the cracks in the ground and lose face in front of His Majesty again.

However, the emperor said nothing and continued on his way.

"Are you still used to staying in the household department?" The emperor finally asked after the two monarchs and ministers walked in the fields for a while.

"I just entered the Household Department, so I'm still not familiar with everything, and I'm still learning." Shen Jia felt guilty for a while after speaking, he always felt that the emperor seemed to know about his situation in the Household Department, and that's why he brought him out for a heart-to-heart talk.

The emperor smiled, "It's time to learn. The court is no different from the place. When you enter the capital, Changqing must be careful in everything and stop being reckless."

Shen Jia wondered if His Majesty had something in his words, did he blame him for being too reckless in handling King Kui's affairs?

"It's been more than a hundred years since the founding of the country. Look at my Liang Dynasty. What is the biggest crisis now?" The emperor changed the subject again.

Shen Jia was taken aback, did Emperor Xindao mean the troubles in the northwest frontier, or the pirates along the coast, or the faction struggle between the court and China?This topic is a bit big, and he didn't know where to start.

But the emperor didn't seem to ask Shen Jia to answer right away, instead he said: "I've been out for a long time, you must be hungry."

"Ah, it's... not bad." The topic changed so quickly that Shen Jia couldn't react for a while.

The emperor walked ahead with his hands behind his back, "Go, let's eat."
