Chapter 474 Come again?
Three days later, Jiang Chen led his team back to the capital.
"Your Highness, we should part ways now! The team that came to greet you has arrived!"
Arriving at the gate of the capital, Jiang Chen saw from afar the team welcoming the prairie princess.
Although Dajing and the grassland have always been in a hostile relationship, now that the other party's princess has arrived, Dajing, as a country of etiquette, has to show some etiquette.
"Haha~ Lord Jiang, we will be in the capital from now on, there will be many opportunities for us to meet, I will come to find you~"
The prairie princess smiled at Jiang Chen, then rode forward on her horse!
"The Prairie Princess has arrived!"
"play music!"
When the officials from the Ministry of Rites saw the arrival of the Prairie Princess, they hurriedly began to play various instruments and sing.
"Humph! A bunch of lackeys!"
"Be a dog for the grassland people!"
When Zhang San saw this scene, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth!
"Uncle San, forget it, this has nothing to do with us, let's go!"
"Would you like to come home directly with me, or go and pack up?"
Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly and said.
"My Lord, let's go and explain. We will go to your mansion tomorrow!"
Zhang San said respectfully.
"Okay, I have five thousand taels of silver here, Uncle San, please share it with everyone!"
"Everyone follow me, I don't want anyone to have any worries!"
Jiang Chen said as he took out a stack of silver bills.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
"My Lord is so kind!"
"Hey, hey! Now that I have money, I can go find some chicks!"
"Together tonight!"
"Okay! I won't stop until I'm drunk!"
When the guards saw the banknotes in Jiang Chen's hand, their mouths watered!
Jiang Chen was still a little helpless when he saw this scene, but he could accept it much more than before!
After all... he's almost gotten used to these unkempt people!
……
"Lord Jiang~ We have found you~"
Just as Jiang Chen was watching Zhang San and his group leave, the eunuch who had conveyed the imperial eunuch's orders to Jiang Chen came up to him with an excited look on his face.
"Eunuch, you want to talk to me... about something?"
Jiang Chen was slightly startled when he saw this eunuch.
Normally he just came back today, so he should attend court tomorrow morning, right?
Why did this eunuch come to see him?
"Oh, Lord, you don't know, we have been waiting for you for a long time~"
"His Majesty has ordered you to come to the palace to see him immediately~"
The eunuch said with a sigh.
"Eunuch, are you going to the palace to see the emperor now?"
"I haven't changed my clothes yet, I..."
Jiang Chen was a little surprised.
Normally speaking, entering the palace is a very troublesome thing.
Take a bath and change clothes, and wear...court robes!
The court dress was very heavy, and if he hadn't had a maid, he wouldn't have worn it...
"Lord Jiang, you don't need to change your clothes, just follow us!"
"Your Majesty has been waiting for you~"
The eunuch urged hurriedly.
"Good good!"
After Jiang Chen heard what the eunuch said, he said nothing more and hurriedly followed the eunuch towards the palace.
On the way, Jiang Chen saw that no one was paying attention, so he took out one thousand taels of silver and stuffed it into the eunuch's sleeve!
After the eunuch touched the silver note, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Lord Jiang, you are the one who really cares for others."
"You're too polite, father-in-law. You've worked so hard. Have a cup of tea!" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Lord Jiang, His Majesty is looking for you this time for an urgent matter."
"You don't know, a big thing happened in the capital these days..."
The eunuch briefly talked about the military families over there.
Jiang Chen was stunned after hearing this!
Although he was very angry about this matter!
But...what does Your Majesty want him to do?
Could it be that he should be asked to investigate the case?
……
"Lord Jiang, you don't know yet, His Majesty... intends to make you the governor of Kyoto, responsible for thoroughly investigating this matter!"
The eunuch came close to Jiang Chen and whispered.
"What!?"
When Jiang Chen heard this, he was stunned!
Let him be the governor of Kyoto! ?
Isn't this a trap for him?!
The governor of Kyoto is in charge of the capital city!
What is the most abundant thing in the capital?
High officials and nobles!
The worst case scenario is that they are the children of these people!
If you are not careful, you will get into trouble!
Besides, the matter of the military families here is related to Zhang Ze...
That has to do with Eunuch Zhang!
Although he is stubborn, he doesn't want to offend Eunuch Zhang!
Jiang Chen followed the eunuch to the imperial study with a feeling of helplessness.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
After entering the imperial study, Jiang Chen respectfully saluted Emperor Dajing!
"You don't have to be so polite, Mr. Jiang!"
"You are finally back!"
Emperor Dajing was extremely enthusiastic when he saw Jiang Chen!
"Lord Jiang, you did a great job on this border matter!"
"I am very satisfied!"
"Originally, I was planning to reward you for your merits and let you go to the Ministry of Personnel as a minister!"
"But, a big thing happened in the capital these days, and this matter...it must be you!"
"So, I have decided temporarily to make you... the governor of Kyoto!"
"I don't know, are you willing!?"
Emperor Dajing said excitedly.
"Your Majesty's order, I dare not disobey!"
"It's just...it's just that I just arrived in the capital and am not familiar with it yet. I'm afraid...I'm afraid that I'll mess things up!"
Jiang Chen acted as if he was afraid.
He really doesn't want to take on this hot potato of the position of Governor of Kyoto!
……
"Don't worry, Lord Jiang. I believe in your ability!"
"To be honest, if you were to do this, I'm afraid... the people wouldn't be convinced!"
"That's why I chose you!"
"Also, I have decided to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Emperor Dajing said this and took out the Emperor's Sword that he had once given to Jiang Chen to use!
"Your Majesty, what are you doing...?"
When Jiang Chen saw the Emperor's Sword, he was stunned!
Give him the sword again! ?
He won't be allowed to stay in the capital, so we can just kill him first and report later, right? ?
If the emperor was so good to him, he would feel embarrassed to rebel!
"Lord Jiang, I'll give you the Emperor's Sword!"
"We must get to the bottom of this matter!"
"While you are investigating this matter, you can hold this sword and enter the palace to see me at any time!"
"At the same time, any official in the capital, regardless of their rank, who dares to obstruct your investigation of this matter will be executed first and reported later!"
"Take the sword!"
Emperor Dajing solemnly handed the sword to Jiang Chen!
Seeing how determined Emperor Dajing was, Jiang Chen found it difficult to refuse!
He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I can accept this mission and position, but I have a request!"
"Speak! I will agree to anything you ask as long as I can do it!" Emperor Dajing said without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, I don't trust the current yamen runners in Kyoto Prefecture. I... want to choose new yamen runners..." Jiang Chen said gritting his teeth.
"No problem! You can make the decision on your own for this small matter!"
"Kyoto Prefecture will be handed over to you from now on!"
"I hope that after this Jingdu Prefecture falls into your hands, it will no longer be the idle government office it was before, but will play its true role!"
"I hope you won't let me down!"
