Chapter 711 Reward You, All Reward You
Jiang Youzhen only had time to see a black shadow flash by, and then the bamboo tube on the table disappeared.
Is this a secret guard? Jiang Youzhen was shocked.
I heard that the royal children would be accompanied by a secret guard since childhood. They went through rigorous training, grew up with their masters, and eventually became their masters' shadows.
Such secret guards are like death warriors and are absolutely loyal.
"This time, a group of rebels have been arrested and the court has been cleansed. I can finally put down the heavy stone in my heart." The emperor patted the armrest of the chair and said with emotion.
No wonder Jiang Youzhen found that the emperor had a rosy face, was radiant and looked relaxed as soon as he came in.
"It is because of our incompetence that His Majesty has been troubled. Fortunately, this time it went smoothly. It is also because of His Majesty's foresight that he was able to prevent those rebels from disrupting the government and consolidate his rule."
Jiang Youzhen is well versed in the essence of the workplace. When he praises his leader, he will praise him with his eyes closed. If he praises his leader to the point of being overjoyed, promotion and salary increase will be a piece of cake.
The emperor couldn't help laughing. He pointed at Jiang Youzhen and shook his head, saying, "You are such a clever talker. You have made a great contribution this time. What reward do you want?"
Jiang Youzhen was stunned when he heard this. Didn't they agree that he would be promoted to a higher rank after the case was successfully completed? What did the emperor mean by this? Was he going to go back on his word?
"I have two pieces of medicinal ink from the previous dynasty in my private storehouse, so I will give them to you. What else do you want? A house? A field? I also have an ancient painting called Flying Sky, which I will also give to you."
Hmm? Are you serious? Jiang Youzhen's heart sank.
"Money is something outside of one's body. It is my duty to help the emperor with his worries. How can I be so greedy and obsessed with money?"
Jiang Youzhen spoke very passionately, as if the emperor was going to give it to him because he doubted his loyalty.
The emperor raised his eyebrows. This boy is not a noble person.
"But..." Jiang Youzhen said with a deep sigh.
"But what?" the emperor asked curiously.
"However, I am a humble official and my words do not count. I often feel that I am incompetent and cannot help the emperor solve his problems."
Jiang Youzhen cupped his hands as he spoke, "For example, Prime Minister Lin, the six ministers and other officials have offered advice and suggestions, devoted their loyalty and wisdom, and have always been by the emperor's side, helping him share his worries.
It is a pity that I cannot see the emperor often, admire his face, listen to his teachings, and learn from his wise decisions. "
Jiang Youzhen sighed and shook his head as he spoke, looking regretful and sorrowful.
This time the emperor was really amused by Jiang Youzhen and he burst into laughter.
"How can you be so smooth-talking, kid?"
Zhou Zhong on the side couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. The emperor hadn't been so pleased for a long time.
"I am sincere and these are my true words." Jiang Youzhen's face was full of sincerity.
The emperor laughed again. Apart from anything else, this boy was indeed likable.
Eunuch Pang outside couldn't help feeling puzzled when listening to the laughter in the hall.
The Emperor had not laughed so heartily for a long time. Lord Jiang was indeed valued by the Emperor.
He walked to the side and opened the brocade box Jiang Youzhen had just given him. It was only the size of a palm. The outside of the box was carved with hollow lotus flowers, and it was made of solid wood.
When he opened it, his eyes lit up.
Aren’t these the rouge and hibiscus powder that Huarong Pavilion recently released?
The hibiscus powder recently released by Huarongge is very fine in texture. I heard that it looks very natural when applied on the face, covering up blemishes without making them barely visible. It is not dry at all and sticks very closely to the face.
I picked up the small box and found that I had chosen pear blossom white, which should be a suitable color for him.
This rouge is peach blossom cream, which makes you look very healthy when applied.
There is also a small spiral jade next to it. These three small pieces placed together look very delicate.
In fact, he was a little embarrassed to say it, because he liked these rouge and powder on weekdays. However, the court officials and the masters in the palace thought that he, a man, looked weird with rouge and powder, and looked down on them, eunuchs.
Therefore, when he bought these rouge and powder, he would ask the maids who could leave the palace to buy them for him, and he was too embarrassed to ask. Recently, she heard from the maids that Huarong Pavilion had a new product, and she had actually wanted to buy it to try for a long time.
This really hit the spot for him. These three items are small and easy to carry.
I didn’t expect that a noble scholar like Lord Jiang would not look down on eunuchs like them and would give them such a thoughtful gift.
Suddenly, he felt some strange emotions in his heart, and his handsome round face turned pink.
Jiang Youzhen in the hall complained in his heart, you said I flattered you so much, what's the matter with you not keeping your word?
Where is the promotion you promised? Where is the reward you promised?
"That's enough! I'm a gentleman and my word is as good as gold. How can I go back on my word? Do you think I don't know your little tricks?"
The emperor looked at Jiang Youzhen, who was full of joy, and still smiled and shook his head.
"Your Majesty is still wise and observant, hehe!" Jiang Youzhen smiled a little foolishly, and the emperor immediately felt better.
The emperor narrowed his eyes. It's good to be greedy for power! As long as there is a weakness, he can take it. He can give and take. Can you turn it out of his palm?
Jiang You looks silly on the surface, but MMP on the inside
You old man, you are testing me all day long.
Jiang Youzhen looked overjoyed, "I bow to the emperor and thank him! His Majesty's words are golden, and he will not break them. But I am overly worried. I really want to see your face every day..."
"Alright! Alright! You won't be left out." The emperor couldn't bear to listen any longer.
Jiang Youzhen was delighted. "What about medicinal ink and ancient paintings? These are exactly what I like. I have always loved studying these."
Jiang Youzhen didn't feel embarrassed at all for saying something against his will.
"As for the farmland, it's fine if there are yellow and white things! My father always said that agriculture is based on the land, and we should not forget our ancestors. We should study more about how to increase the yield of grain fields."
"Oh? Your father? It seems that your father has some knowledge, and you are also filial." The emperor sneered. If he wanted the land, he should just say so.
"Farmers are very wise!" Jiang Youzhen blurted out.
Eh? The emperor thought about it and thought that although it was not very elegant, it made sense.
"Then I will reward you, all of it." The emperor was in a good mood today.
Before Jiang Youzhen could thank him, he heard the emperor say, "But we have to wait until this case is over. The leader of the rebels has not been eliminated yet. It is too early to reward them now."
Jiang Youzhen: ...stingy
"But I am waiting for you to figure out how to increase the yield of the fields."
Jiang Youzhen: ...I just said it casually, but you took it seriously.
Coming out of the palace, Jiang Youzhen ran into Eunuch Pang head-on.
"Lord Jiang, we will take you back." Eunuch Pang glanced at Jiang Youzhen and lowered his head again.
So polite? Jiang Youzhen waved his hand quickly.
"I will not bother you, Eunuch Pang. I will go back to the Hanlin Academy and will leave you now."
I will be returning home to visit my relatives in less than half a month. Before that, I have to wait until this case is settled.
Jiang Youzhen walked slowly. It happened that she had nothing to do in the past two days, so she was happy to relax.
Only when Jiang Youzhen's back disappeared from his sight did Eunuch Pang turn around. Unexpectedly, he met Zhou Zhong's eyes as soon as he turned around, and he couldn't help but be startled.
"Godfather!" Eunuch Pang bowed and said solemnly.
