Chapter 167 is in control
The aristocratic families in Luoyang City include officials and family families. Among them, the aristocratic families are even more prominent. They are like the aristocratic families of this era. Children of aristocratic families can enter the court without taking the imperial examination. The family covers workers, peasants, merchants, and even the emperor cannot interfere with the internal operation of the aristocratic families. A aristocratic family is like a small court, with its own laws and regulations. A aristocratic families even have the power to exempt military service and only need to pay taxes to the court every year, which is also an important source of taxes for the court.
Ordinary families of officials should be much more low-key. In addition to some officials in the court, some officials are unable to do business in the family and live with the court's salary and land rent and taxes. Although children of officials and families cannot directly enter the court to serve as officials, they can study in the tribute school, which has a greater chance of making a name than ordinary people.
Han Jian had no prejudice against the aristocratic families in Luoyang City, mainly because his concubines were mostly from the direct daughters of the aristocratic families in Luoyang City. In other words, among Han Jian's many living "grandfathers", there are also the heads of the aristocratic families. Han Jian and the aristocratic families were originally in the same spirit, and their own people did not beat their own people.
But Han Jian had no good feelings for the Lu Fengning in front of him. The Lu family had no connection with the Dongwang Mansion, and Han Jian did not need to save face for the Lu family.
Han Jian directly issued an order to expel guests, and Lu Fengning was unexpectedly surprised. Lu Fengning knew about the East King, although the East King was young and fled, he was extremely cunning and used decisive methods to do things, and he could be said to be a ruthless character of the Wei Dynasty. In Lu Fengning's opinion, even if the East King was not happy with him, he would not show it. However, he did not expect that the East King would be greeted by the East King as soon as he arrived here.
Lu Fengning thought: "The King of Eastern was still too young after all. He had the means, but he was happy to show off his face."
Lu Fengning looked down upon Han Jian in his heart, but there was a kind smile on his face and said, "Why should the King of Dong be so anxious to keep people from thousands of miles away? This time he came, mainly because His Majesty had just issued an order to take over the post of the Tingwei Mansion, and he came to inform the King of Dong."
Han Jian looked up and looked at Lu Fengning again, smiled coldly, and said, "Is it okay?"
"Don't you know." Lu Fengning said with a slightly positive expression, "As far as I know, the Tingwei Mansion's Young Mansion has not had a long term. If I keep my eyes closed and I hear that I will follow the footsteps of several exes in the future, I believe that it will not take long to follow the footsteps of several exes. Therefore, I would like to ask the King of the East for some official positions."
When Lu Fengning said this, Han Jian probably understood. Lu Fengning was at the beginning of his tenure. He knew the "destiny" of the previous young mansions of the Tingwei Mansion, so he said hello to him first. As we all know, the two young mansions of the Tingwei Mansion, Hu Deming and Lu Zhe, had no term of office for a long time, and their resignation was related to the Eastern King. Hu Deming was even dismissed and imprisoned for directly participating in the Eastern King in front of the Empress. Although he was released later, he had no chance of becoming a career in his life. Lu Zhe was in a better situation, and he was dismissed and had the chance to be re-appointed by the court in the future.
It was rumored outside that the Dongwang was the "nemesis" of the Tingwei Mansion's Shaofu, and Han Jian also heard about this. The rumors among the people were all due to interest. He could not interfere with anything the people liked to spread. However, Han Jian did not expect that because of some rumors among the people, the newly appointed Tingwei Mansion's Shaofu came to ask him for advice on "the way to be an official."
Han Jianxin said that in Lu Fengning's attitude, he was not asking for advice, but clearly putting on his power. It was a bit like challenging him.
Han Jian felt a certainty in his heart, smiled and said, "You are so polite. Although I am the King of the East, I have experienced the experience of governing in the government of no one. Based on what I think, the way of being an official is to cherish the people and share the worries of the court. There is nothing else."
Han Jian specially added "Nothing except for this" after caring for the people and sharing the worries of the court. He seemed to be telling Lu Fengning. If you want to ask what the way of being an official is, it would be useless to ask. There are so many scenes of the official language I want to say, please go back.
Lu Fengning also smiled and bowed and said, "The King of the East will benefit a lot from his words. I must keep in mind the teachings of the King of the East and be dedicated to this young lieutenant's mansion, and strive to make this term of office full."
After saying that, Lu Fengning stood up and left without even saying goodbye. His posture seemed chic, but in fact it was very rude, which made Han Jian urge to go up and beat him up.
When Lu Fengning went downstairs, Han Jian looked at the comic strips again and lost his mood. It was like a rat shit stirring up a pot of soup. Han Jian closed the comic strips and was about to go directly to Gu Xiner to find Gu Xiner.
But at this moment, Sima Zhi hurried over, holding the imperial letter from the court in his hand.
"Young Master, this is a letter from the imperial court just coming. It is said that the young master of the Tingwei Mansion and the escort officer have new candidates, and they will take office immediately." Sima came upstairs and handed the letter in his hand to Han Jian, and said at the same time.
Any movements in the court will be issued to the local government in the form of a official letter, and there is also a copy of the Eastern Palace.
Han Jian's share was sent directly from the Shangdian Fengchasi, which also reflects the court's attention to the Eastern Prince's Mansion.
Han Jian glanced at the contents of the official letter. Among the new officials appointed by the court this time, Lu Yan and a man named Zhou Che were included in the most important candidates, including the young mansion of the Tingwei Mansion and the chief lieutenant of the escort office. Lu Yan, whose courtesy name is Fengning, is the one that Han Jian saw just now. Because of Yang Xiuxiu's marriage, Han Jian investigated Lu Fengning and therefore knew that there was such a person. As for another Zhou Che, although Han Jian had not heard of it, he probably guessed that he was an important figure in the Zhou family of another aristocratic family.
Han Jian thought that although the Northern King had not rebelled, he was not far from rebellion. The Xianbei invasion was a signal. At this time, the two important links of Luoyang's defense and public security were related to such an important position as the head of the escort office and the head of the Tingwei Mansion. The empress chose to hand it over to the children of aristocratic families who had always relied on. This can only be said that the empress was seeking stability.
Who are Zhou Che and Lu Fengning? They are children of aristocratic families. Although they are prominent and have a high status in the court, they have the meaning of "are useless" to resettle them with such two official positions, but if they are in normal times, they are not qualified for such positions.
The lieutenant of the escort office should be from a military general, responsible for guarding the Luoyang city gates and internal defense, and belongs to the military position. The young mansion of the Tingwei Mansion is responsible for Luoyang's public security and the prison of the Criminal Department, which is also considered a job that is incompetent to non-specialties. The queen asked the two young juniors of Master Wen to take over such important positions. In addition to allowing them to make a smooth transition, Han Jian could not think of any qualifications they had to serve in these two positions for three years. But at the beginning of his tenure, Lu Fengning came to him to show off his martial arts and threaten his way of becoming an official.
Specifically, it is hard to say whether it is wrong for the empress to succeed these two positions with two aristocratic families. From the empress's standpoint, the empress is a family that is trusted and trusted. But from the Han Jian's standpoint, Han Jian has reserved opinions on these aristocratic families.
When it comes to the issue of the throne and imperial power, these aristocratic families have always changed their minds because the most important thing for aristocratic families is to preserve their own strength. Their political beliefs are not high. Whoever can make them develop steadily will turn the rudder to whom. In fact, this is roughly similar to the situation of Han Jian, the Eastern King. Han Jian also considered comprehensively that the threat to the Eastern King was obviously greater than the Queen who sought stability. Therefore, Han Jian chose to stand on the side of the Queen. The situation on the side of the aristocratic family must be the same as him?
"Go and investigate the situation of Lu Fengning and Zhou Che in detail." Han Jian ordered Sima Yi.
"Okay, I understand." Sima Yi smiled, "And, young master, what you asked me to do last night... It seems that there is no news of the news yet..."
Han Jian glared at Sima Zhi. Sometimes, Sima Zhi wanted to show himself too much when doing things. He did good things, so he tried not to know them, but he was "caused by fate" and then he was in the limelight. But how could he make a big fuss to know when doing bad things? And what Han Jian asked Sima Zhi to do last night was a complete bad thing.
"If you don't know, you have never heard of it unless you don't do it. Remember to give him the money that Mr. Huang bought for embroidery and ask him to help with something. Only he can do it." Han Jian said.
Although Sima Yi nodded, he felt a little disdainful of Huang Lie. What skills does that kid have only him can do?
After Han Jian said what he had entrusted Huang Lie to do, Sima Yi was shocked and said, "Ah? Young Master, do you ask him... to report us?"
"It's not about reporting, it's about revealing the case."
Sima Yi asked, "Is that the same as last time, I asked someone to secretly reveal it to him, so that he thought he had discovered it?"
"There is no need to be so troublesome this time. Just ask him to do things."
Han Jian thought that since the empress knew so much about him, he would simply not hide it this time. Anyway, when the empress learned that he was doing this, she would be very clear about the purpose of his doing this, which was to force the Northern King to a dead end. In such a special period, the Northern King had invaded the northern Xianbei people and the imperial court was eyeing him covetously. Whether he dared to rebel blatantly was still a question. Even if the Northern King had collusion with the Xianbei people, he had to consider the Xianbei people's jackal. After all, the Northern King used the Xianbei people's invasion to get back the money and food taken away by the imperial court, which was a foolish thing to Han Jian's view. The Empress himself would not return all the money and food seized, and was still under the control of the Xianbei people, which would make the Northern King fall into a situation of being attacked from both sides.
The Northern King thought that he took the initiative in the rebellion, so he dared to collude with the Xianbei people so blatantly. However, in the rebellion, the Queen was more likely to take the initiative, because the Queen had prepared for more than ten years in order to prepare to eliminate the threat from the Northern King to the court.
Han Jian got up and took two comic strips to go downstairs because he had to accompany Gu Xiner to send Jing'er back to Shangqing Palace that day, and the comic strips were prepared for Jing'er to take them back to Shangqing Palace to see.
Han Jian still needs to maintain his usual relaxed attitude so that people cannot see what he is doing. It is as quiet as a tiger moving as a rabbit. Only when everything is settled will others know his existence, and it is often too late at that time.
