A few months ago, three thousand cavalry from the Beijing camp raided and captured dozens of killers. They were collectively poisoned and died on the Double Ninth Festival, leaving no one alive!
After hearing the news, he was furious and immediately captured all the Shuntian Fu Yin and Fu Cheng who were imprisoning the killers. The officials below also failed to get the favor. In short, the entire Shuntian Fu Yamen was purged in just a few days.
The entire imperial city was shrouded in an atmosphere of gloom. Even the Supreme Emperor, who lived in the Longevity Palace, was alarmed and called his cabinet ministers to inquire about the matter personally.
This situation has made people more dissatisfied and angry. Where does this move of the Supreme Emperor put him as an emperor?
Seeing that the two supreme beings were fighting for glory again, the cabinet immediately sent a list of new Sunchon governors, saying that the urgent task now was to find out the reason why the killers committed suicide, and that they could put everything else aside and take their time.
Before Jin could speak and select the Shuntian Prefect from the list sent by the cabinet, the Supreme Emperor had already decided to appoint the Minister of Punishment to concurrently serve as the Shuntian Prefect, and immediately began to investigate the mass suicide case of the killers.
Although the struggle for power and profit is fierce nowadays, the Supreme Emperor is not completely old and confused. If things like the current serious challenge to the majesty of the imperial court are not dealt with seriously, the troubles in the future may be even greater.
It's just that the Supreme Emperor's move still makes him very unhappy, but there is nothing he can do about it.
Filial piety comes first!
Even the royal family cannot undermine the superficial political correctness, otherwise the consequences will be quite serious.
Besides, having the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment concurrently serve as the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture actually only shows the importance of the imperial court. The person who really holds the power of Shuntian Prefecture is the Prime Minister below.
Nowadays, they are fighting again with the Supreme Emperor over the choice of the Prime Minister.
This time the cabinet does not dare to act rashly. If they are not involved in the whirlpool of the struggle between the two emperors, even with their status and qualifications, if they are not good enough, they will end up in a precarious situation.
Nowadays, he wants to install his new officials as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture. He believes that Shuntian Prefecture has become rotten and rigid, and he must send elite, capable and young officials to take charge. Only in this way can he change the atmosphere of Shuntian Prefecture and control this important yamen.
Due to various reasons, the officials selected today are almost all capable officials who have been promoted through the imperial examination, and the officials promoted are naturally among the civil servants.
Not to be outdone at all, the Supreme Emperor also introduced a series of capable officials with a very clear attitude that he did not want to lose control of Shuntian Mansion!
In this way, the dispute between the two emperors led to the struggle between the civil servant group and the noble group.
Due to historical reasons, the Xungui Group is considered the foundation of the Supreme Emperor, controlling most of the high positions in the court and most of the military power.
At that time, the descendants were not of high birth and looked down upon the behavior of the descendants of the nobles, so they naturally trained the officials who had passed the imperial examination as their confidants. Little by little, they wrested control of the court and military power from the nobles' group.
In short, the battle in the court was quite fierce. Interest groups from all sides competed for the key position of Shuntian Fu Cheng. You sang and I came on stage. In a short period of time, the commotion was quite real.
It has to be said that the Rongguo Mansion was indeed in severe decline. For such a big thing and such a huge turmoil, not even the slightest news reached my ears. Even Lian Er, who was the commander of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division, did not hear half of it.
The sound of silk wind is simply incredible.
Whether it is Wang Ziteng, the two princes of the Shi family, or the so-called noble relatives, they all seem to exclude Rongguo Mansion intentionally or unintentionally. To put it more bluntly, in their eyes, Rongguo Mansion is no longer powerful enough to participate in such a
There was a major court battle.
It happened that the eldest master was inspecting the counties in Tongzhou at this time, focusing on local clan affairs, and did not hear the slightest news from the capital.
It's funny to say that, as the superior administrative department of Tongzhou Prefectural Government, Shuntian Prefecture Government Office was purged, but the Grand Master, the governor of Tongzhou, didn't hear any news at all. I have to say that the confidentiality of this matter was done well, at least to the people below.
The confidentiality work is done very well.
Therefore, when the elder received an urgent order from the Ministry of Officials to temporarily transfer him to serve as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, he was a little dumbfounded and a little confused.
But no matter what, getting promoted is always a good thing!
It was just that the officials were pressing hard, but fortunately the important work at hand had been basically sorted out, and the transfer to colleagues was quite smooth. It only took two or three days, and within the time specified in the official document, he took his family and hurried back to Beijing.
.
The eldest master has no intention of returning to Rongguo Mansion. Things must have happened so suddenly and strangely. He doesn't want to involve the manor in an inexplicable fight, nor does he want to be involved in the manor and waste his energy on meaningless things. That's it.
Simple.
It's just that obviously, Mrs. Xing doesn't very much agree with this approach.
Then let Aunt Qian and her two children live in a separate courtyard, while Mrs.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of manpower in the other courtyard, and the protection force is sufficient. It is even much stronger than that here in Rongguo Mansion. By placing Aunt Qian and the two children here, at least there is no need to worry about safety issues.
The old man is back home!
This news spread quickly throughout the entire Rong Mansion. All the servants were shocked. I wonder why the eldest master suddenly returned to Beijing?
"Meet the old lady!"
The eldest master had no intention of paying attention to the thoughts of a bunch of servants. After settling Aunt Qian and the two children, he and Mrs.
"Boss, aren't you on duty in Tongzhou? Why did you suddenly return to Beijing without even announcing it before?"
She waved her hand and asked the elder to sit down. Mother Jia looked at the elder and felt very strange, and asked doubtfully: "Is there something unexpected that happened?"
"Old lady, I suddenly received an order to prepare to take over the post of Shuntian Prime Minister!"
The elder said directly: "I am also wondering about this. Didn't the government hear any news?"
"What, boss, are you going to take over as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture?"
Hearing this, Jia Mu was surprised. Her expression definitely didn't look like she was pretending to be confused.
As if she thought of something bad, a trace of sadness flashed across Jia Mu's face. It was obvious that the news brought by the elder had dealt a big blow to her.
The government has not heard any news about such a big matter. What does this mean?
This shows that Rongguo Mansion has been completely excluded from the real core of power. This is really hard to accept for Jia Mu who has seen the most prosperous and prosperous Rongguo Mansion.
It would be acceptable if he was transferred to another place, but the position of Prime Minister of Shuntian is a very important one. Who among the powerful people in the capital wouldn't be eager to take it?
Although there are many dignitaries in the capital, there are too many people in Shuntian Prefecture who cannot afford to offend, and it seems that it is very difficult to do things.
Naturally, things are not that simple. Any official who can sit in the Shuntian Prefecture is not a confidant of the Supreme Emperor. Even today, there is no way to get involved in important positions!
Shuntian Prefecture not only has the authority to manage the capital, but also has a team of thousands of official officials, which is a force that cannot be ignored at critical moments.
According to the rules of the officialdom, if the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture can serve a full term and finally be able to take over the post safely, his next step will definitely be to take over one of the six ministers. Once he has accumulated enough reputation and strength, he will smoothly enter the cabinet and become the real core official of the court.
guy!
As the second-in-command of Shuntian Mansion, Shuntian Fu Cheng is actually responsible for the normal operation of Shuntian Mansion, and his status is also very important and special. Likewise, as long as he does a good job, it will be easy to enter the ranks of third-rank officials with real power!
Rongguo Mansion had not heard anything about such a big matter before, which was simply hard for Jia Mu to accept.
"Boss, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Mother Jia was unhappy, so naturally she had to vent her anger to the elder, and she immediately put the responsibility on the elder.
"The time from issuing the document to taking office was really tight. It took just five days to hand over the job to Beijing. I was so busy that I didn't know what to do. How could I have any other time and energy?"
The elder knew it in his heart, he spread his hands and said helplessly: "Didn't I just return to Beijing today, I will go back to the house to find out what happened!"
Jia Mu paused, a trace of displeasure flashed across her face but did not break out. She looked at the eldest man and Mrs.
fragrant?"
"Place them in another courtyard for the time being!"
The elder smiled slightly and ignored Jia Mu's suddenly ugly expression. He leisurely explained: "It happened so urgently. I was worried that there would be something strange in it. I didn't want to cause any trouble to the house, so I sent the two of them to the house."
Let’s move to another courtyard temporarily and check the wind direction before we talk!”
"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't it possible that the house can't protect two children?"
That's right. Jia Mu didn't insist on it at all. She seemed to just follow the elder's wishes and arranged it just right. Apparently, she was disturbed by the elder's words.
hehe……
The elder did not expose it, and just chatted with Jia Mu about home affairs. Mrs.
It’s not easy for the elder to comment on the choice.
Just hearing that Jia Mu was talking about treasures and jade, she would definitely have great fortunes in the future, and he would definitely be the one to support the family, so the elder felt inexplicably unhappy.
It's not about that boy Baoyu. He looks pink and tender and looks like a good-luck boy. As long as his mind is not so dark, he can't be disliked by him.
It's just that Jia Mu seems to have forgotten that the title of Rong Mansion belongs to Lian Er. No matter how he supports the family's lintel, he should be Lian Er's son anyway. How can he be the son of the second wife?
"Brother, why are you back in Beijing?"
When the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, the second political leader hurried over and said directly when he saw the elder: "Isn't this bad? You will be reprimanded by the officials, which will hinder your future future!"
I just quietly watched you pretending to be a show-off. What's going on with that smile on your lips? Do you think I'm blind?
"Second brother, your eldest brother has been transferred to Shuntian Prefecture!"
Mother Jia couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly spoke to stop Mr. Zheng's nonsensical performance.
