Chapter 288 The Emperor's Favorability
...
The Emperor has not seen Minister Jiang for two days.
He suddenly felt a little dull.
Mainly because the eunuchs around him would chat from time to time.
The officials competed to spend money to buy important things.
This time it felt like the Emperor had fooled those officials.
The Emperor felt very happy.
Isn't this more fun than the intrigues in the court?
Looking at the faces of the crowd, the Emperor had a sense of satisfaction as if he was standing at the 999th floor.
So he asked someone to recruit Minister Jiang into the palace again.
So the newly-minted Minister of the Imperial Court was really favored by the Emperor.
The Emperor called again.
There are also Ministers of the Imperial Court who can only enter the palace when there is something special, and they may not enter once or twice a year.
Going to the palace every other day, Prime Minister Lu is getting a little jealous.
Isn't it just a good face?
Flatterers must not die well.
Jiang Changtian has nothing to do in the government office, just watching his colleague Chen Jiujiu count and record accounts.
The emperor summoned him, and Jiujiu was more excited than him.
After sorting out the account book, he was going to help change the money, but Brother Jiang said no, and asked him to change it into small change.
Jiang Changtian calculated that this was only a few days ago, and those who felt that they would give money had given it, and there should be no more in the next few days.
Because those who didn't give at the beginning will not give in the future.
Just like Minister Dong, he didn't buy an answer.
Today is almost the same.
It's a good time to hand in an account.
The emperor summoned him.
Jiang Changtian was in no hurry to go, but he called the royal guards and said he needed help with something.
So he called his son-in-law Meng Shaoxia.
The royal guards did not just mean a guard, but was actually an official position, a more prestigious position, suitable for the second and third generations of each family.
The emperor waited in the palace for a long time and became a little impatient.
Someone actually made him wait.
Didn't everyone come flying when he summoned them?
This Jiang Er was a bit ridiculous.
As a result, when the emperor's patience was exhausted, Jiang Er came.
He didn't come alone, but brought several guards with him.
The guards carried big boxes.
When they got up to him and opened them, wow.
It was all money.
Jiang Changtian supports small change payments, all kinds of small change.
In order to look good, he also changed the whole money into a batch of small change.
Although the emperor spends money like water, he just moves his mouth, which is even more excessive than us swiping cards with mobile phones. He doesn't even need to see what the money looks like.
The emperor has rarely seen so much money piled up in front of him.
No prominent person would deliberately change the whole money into small change for the emperor.
But Jiang Changtian did so by working hard and making progress. He
also made a big fanfare to find the guards in front of him to carry the money.
If someone else called, the guards would not come.
Although they are called guards, they don't necessarily do this job. There are so many subordinates that it is not their turn to work.
Just like college students majoring in computer science are not necessarily used to move computers.
But since Meng Shaoxia called for it and they were going to show up in front of the emperor, everyone came actively.
Along the way, I chatted with Meng Shaoxia's father-in-law, Minister Jiang, and found that Meng Shaoxia's father-in-law was very interesting. There was no sense of distance at all, and he was very friendly.
No wonder Meng Shaoxia has lived in his father-in-law's house for so long and has been so happy. Such a father-in-law must be friendly and easy-going, and his life is very carefree.
And Meng Shaoxia's father-in-law looks like this.
It seems that it is certain that Meng Shaoxia's wife is more beautiful than Daji. Brother Shaoxia is so blessed.
Several strong guys were panting as they moved, one box after another.
All money.
The emperor widened his eyes in surprise.
In fact, it's not much.
When he got the account book and looked at the total amount, it might be equivalent to the cost of building a courtyard.
But he was nagged by the ministers for building a courtyard, and they reported him several times.
Minister Jiang got him the money for a courtyard with just a note.
So much.
This account book is not only clear, but also makes it clear who gave the money. Every name is recorded. Good guys, most of the officials are there.
The emperor was very pleased.
His way of showing his happiness was to reward. He
rewarded each young man who moved the money with a small gold medal. He didn't reward Minister Jiang directly, but talked to him.
Several guards were very happy.
Showing up in front of the emperor and getting a reward made his resume different.
When going on a blind date, you can say that you have been gifted by the Emperor, and that you are a former guard that the Emperor has chosen, and that you have a promising future. This will also add to your resume. Otherwise, there are so many second- and third-generation guards in the capital, and you may not be able to compare with them even if you compare your family background.
The Emperor looked at the account book and praised Minister Jiang for his detailed work.
Jiang Changtian did not take credit for it and said, "I am ashamed to say that I did not make this account book. When I was waiting for the position, I saw a colleague who had been waiting for more than a year. He said that he had no money to rent a house in the capital. He came to visit me at home, and I gave him some money, but he took it humbly. As an official in the same dynasty, I could not bear to see others behave like this, so I took this opportunity to let him help with the records and gave him money. Although it was not much, he took it with his head held high. He made money in a dignified way."
When the emperor heard this, he sighed again.
First, I feel that Jiang Er is different from others. When others hear praise, they want to take all the credit for themselves, but Jiang Er said that it was not his credit. Second, I feel that Jiang Er is
very humane. Not only did he give money, but he also took into account the dignity of the other party and took this opportunity to help others.
Third, I feel that Jiang Er is very honest. He says what he means and does not hide anything. This old Lu is the same. He is the one who does the official selection. It is unreasonable to delay it for more than a year. It must be that the subordinates did not give enough money. People are greedy.
Jiang Er's ordinary speech.
In the Emperor's opinion:
Jiang Shilang's favorability +10.
Lu Xiang's favorability -10.
"I was surprised when I received the money. It was a small matter. My in-law was a bit stingy and wanted to play a joke. I didn't expect to receive so much. My in-law said that everyone thought Lu Xiang wanted money, so they rushed to buy. I am guilty. I explained for Lu Xiang. I told everyone who bought the key points that it had nothing to do with Lu Xiang. It was the key point of my painting, but no one seemed to believe it." Jiang Shilang sincerely admitted his guilt and apologized. The Emperor listened
to it. Okay, okay, Lu Xiang's favorability -20.
