A bolt from the blue, really a bolt from the blue!
By the way, it was the first time that Mr. Zheng had been impeached by the Censor Yanguan in so many years as an official.
What does it feel like? I am terrified and full of confusion.
When he was impeached, it was the time when he was in power.
Now he was asked to defend himself. As a result, Mr. Zheng's mind went blank at that time, and he was hesitant and unable to say a complete sentence.
Such a performance naturally became the laughing stock of the great dynasty at that time.
Fortunately, he did not get angry and remove him from his post. He just sighed to express his disappointment: "I didn't expect Rong Gong's son to be so stupid!"
In a word, Mr. Zheng Er was labeled as "stupid".
Not to mention what the courtiers thought, at least it was a little more hindering for him to seek a higher-level position in private.
In short, he was in a state of panic during his entire stay in court.
After waiting for the office, he hurriedly returned to the house to seek comfort from the old lady. Only then did he suddenly realize that the clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat.
The old lady was naturally furious after hearing the news, and the second master was frightened when he saw the government, so he comforted her and asked for some details.
To be honest, the impeachment content of the Yushi Yanguan actually does not have much power.
For those old officials, it's just like being itchy on the body, but it's just disgusting.
Things like "eating a meal without a corpse" and "not being strict in running the family" are all weak accusations.
It was the first time that Mr. Zheng was impeached. He was so flustered that he lost his master. In fact, there was no need to pay too much attention to it.
The old lady is a sensible person. When Jia Daishan, the second generation of Rongguo Gong, was her husband, the impeachment she suffered during her heyday was truly cruel and vicious.
After some comfort from the old lady, Master Zheng also came to his senses, and then he began to wonder when he had offended the beings on the Yushitai.
But after thinking about it for a while, I had no idea at all.
Or Lian Erxia Yamen, when he came to greet me, he said too much: 'Did the family banquet a few days ago offend some people's eyes?'
A word that wakes up the dreamer!
Mr. Zheng Er realized that this was probably what caused the trouble.
As for why it led to the impeachment of the Yushi Yanguan, the reason is actually very simple. Some civil servants were unhappy with Rongfu's behavior.
They were just three boys, and they looked like they had won the Jinshi.
If those three young students really have a chance to become Jinshi in the future, will the tail of Rongfu be turned upside down?
Therefore, it is necessary to hammer it out in advance!
In addition, I am also dissatisfied that the Wuxun family is actually able to train children who have passed the basic liberal arts examination.
The old lady's face was very ugly. Wasn't this a slap in the face?
Holding a celebration banquet for three of the clan's children who passed the Tongsheng Examination was the result of her strong push.
The purpose, as Jia Rong guessed, is just to win people's hearts.
If the other five children hadn't been arranged to go south to Yangzhou, the celebration banquet would have been even more lively.
Anyway, those who don't know the inside story will definitely think that it is the Rong Mansion's contribution that the children of the clan can pass the Tongsheng examination.
Even if it's just the superficial scenery, the old lady still wants to take advantage of it.
Who would have thought that it would offend some civil servants.
What else is there to say?
The old lady is used to being honored, when has she ever suffered such a humiliating loss?
Directly ask the name of the censor who was impeached, and ask him to look good when you find the right opportunity. The honor of the Xungui family is not that easy to fight.
"Second Uncle Lian usually doesn't have any big baskets when he's in the Yamen, right?"
Different from the old lady's reaction, Jia Rong's immediate reaction after hearing the news was that this impeachment was for the Jia family in the capital.
So, when he saw Lian Er the next day, he asked directly.
"No!"
Lian Er was a little confused, but still said seriously: "I have heard your advice before. When working in the Yamen, you must be cautious!"
"Besides, I'm an eighth-grade official. Even if something good happens, it won't be my fault. Otherwise, I won't have the chance to make further progress this time!"
At this point, he curiously asked: "What's wrong?"
The reason why he talked to Jia Rong about the impeachment of Mr. Zheng the next day was out of habit, and it was also an expression of seeking peace of mind.
Since joining the Hubu Yamen as an errand, Lian Er has grown very quickly.
When he came back to his senses, he turned around and realized keenly that it seemed that Jia Rong was responsible for his current situation.
Not only that, Jia Rong's advice to him sometimes was not a good word in official circles, but it was still quite effective.
It was just a matter of paying it off once or twice, but Lian Er naturally realized that Jia Rong's understanding of officialdom and his accuracy in judging the situation in the court were simply beyond his reach.
Coupled with the entangled interests of the polo league, Lian Er unknowingly treated Jia Rong as a mastermind and even relied on him for ideas.
Over time, a certain lifestyle habit is formed.
Every once in a while, he would take the initiative to come to Jia Rong and talk to Jia Rong about official affairs and some situations he encountered.
You don't necessarily need Jia Rong to give advice, but you need a normal person to talk to.
Of course, there are times when Jia Rong’s guidance is needed.
With Lian Er's character, it is easy for him to fall into certain pitfalls in official circles and find it difficult to extricate himself.
After all, he is in the Hubu Yamen. Even if he is not a doctor in charge of a certain province, the amount of money he can handle is not a small amount. If Jia Rong often reminds him, who knows whether this guy will reach out rashly?
The jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs is very wide, not only taxation, but also the land of the world, household registration and so on are all within the scope of jurisdiction.
Even if Lian Er is only a small official, the things he can handle are quite amazing.
"I estimate that Uncle Zheng's impeachment this time, in addition to the excessive publicity at the celebration banquet in Tianrong Mansion a few days ago, should also have the intention of targeting the Jia clan!"
Jia Rong didn't know Lian Er's thoughts, so he directly expressed his thoughts: "I just don't know. Are some people dissatisfied with the ability of ethnic studies to continuously cultivate talents, or are there other reasons?"
As for the so-called "other reasons", it is actually the cultivation of martial arts talents through the polo team.
However, this kind of thing is no longer something that Lian Er can get involved with, so it's better not to worry him.
"No way?"
Lian Er was a little surprised and didn't believe it: "In ethnic studies, aren't they also cultivating talents for the imperial examination?"
"Haha, after all, the Jia family in the capital was born in Wu Xun, and the imperial examination talents they trained are on the side of the nobles or the gentry, it's hard to say!"
"Besides, how many civil servants hope that our Ningrong Second Mansion can be revitalized?"
When Jia Rong said this, she couldn't help but smile sarcastically.
The revitalization of the Ning Rong Mansion is not just as simple as the children in the manor having a promising future.
Naturally, all the people who follow Ning Rong's Second Mansion need official positions.
It can be said that the Ningrong Second Mansion is naturally one of the top officials in the officialdom.
When the time comes, followers will seize many positions. What will happen to those Jinshi who have studied hard for ten years and passed the imperial examination through hard work?
There are only so many official positions in the imperial court. If you have more honorary positions, you will get less if you are a civil servant or Jinshi. This is Chi Luoluo's conflict of interests, and there is no reason to explain.
"It's too much, these guys are too much!"
Lian Er naturally didn't expect it to be that far-reaching. At this time, he said with anger and displeasure: "We didn't offend them!"
"Haha, I didn't offend them!"
Jia Rong smiled leisurely and said: "But if Ning Rong's second mansion collapses completely, at least a lot of positions will be freed up!"
"Of course, the current impeachment is nothing more than child's play. It cannot really hurt Uncle Zheng, but we have to guard against it!"
Lian Er was shocked and nodded to express his understanding.
After returning home, he recounted Jia Rong's words in Rongqing Hall, and finally said: "I think what Brother Rong said is quite reasonable!"
"It's better to be more cautious when doing things in the government!"
After saying that, he sat down and took a breath, his mood still hard to calm down.
Not to mention that his mood could not be calm, even the people in Rongqingtang who suddenly heard the report were not immune.
Too careless!
This was what the old lady was thinking at this time. The Rong Mansion had been silent for too long, and she had not participated in court matters for too long, so she did not react for a while.
When he woke up at this moment, one can imagine how ugly his face was.
"Hmph, there are many clowns like this in the court!"
After pondering for a moment, Jia Mu said slowly: "Second brother, you don't have to worry. As long as you don't make any mistakes, the impeachment of the Censor Yanguan will not hurt you at all!"
"I just didn't expect that Ningrong's second house wanted to rise again, but it would hinder some people's eyes. It's really unreasonable!"
As an old feudal lord who has experienced many great events, the old lady knows a lot of things.
If you think about how prosperous the Founding Group was back then, it was devastated by the incident of deposing the crown prince.
Although the deposing of the crown prince also implicated many civil servants, it must be said that the losses suffered by the founding fathers were even more severe.
Apart from anything else, the pardoner, who could have succeeded the marquis and held an important position, was directly deposed.
There are several people in the Eight Dukes' family who are like pardoners.
They were all heirs carefully cultivated by the Eighth Duke family of the founding of the country, but in the end the entire army was wiped out.
As a result, before the founding group could react, important positions in the court had already fallen into the hands of the civil servant group.
In the past, positions such as Taichang Temple, Taipu Temple and the Ministry of Revenue were the property of the founding noble group, but since the deposing of the crown prince, they have become the exclusive preserve of the civil servant group.
Fortunately, the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army and the Ministry of War are still in the hands of the Xungui Group, otherwise the days of the Founding Xungui would have been almost the same as those of the Ming Dynasty Xungui after the Tumubao Incident in the previous dynasty.
Thinking of this, Jia Mu suddenly became alarmed and broke into a cold sweat unconsciously.
She thought of some terrible speculation. Could it be that the deposing of the crown prince was a plan jointly set up by the emperor and the civil servant group?
Since then, the power of the Founding Group has shrunk greatly...
