Not to mention that the world's people are currently in turmoil, but Jia Ke still serves as his military foreman. He does not deliberately target the emperor, but often stands in a fair position and points out the emperor's mistakes. In this way, he also angered the emperor.
He was very disgusted and only discussed with the Emperor a few times to remove Jia Ke, but the Emperor firmly refused.
The emperor's distrust of Jia Ke actually deepened the emperor's trust in Jia Ke. In this way, although Jia Ke seemed to be in turmoil, he was actually as stable as a rock.
The officials in the capital also realized that Jia Ke's power was not much less than that of the emperor. As long as the Supreme Emperor did not die, the emperor really had nothing to do with Jia Ke.
Besides, the obvious turmoil caused by the emperor's pardon of criminal officials this time has directly affected the vicinity of Yangzhou. Now many criminal officials in Yangzhou have begun to interact with each other, hoping to get on the emperor's list through connections, hoping to be restored to justice.
.
However, it is said that the house of Lin Ruhai, the censor of salt inspection, has been covered with white canvas for the past few days. It turns out that Ruhai's legitimate wife, Jia, died, and Lin Ruhai's only beloved daughter, five-year-old Daiyu, was originally serving at her mother's bedside.
The decoction and medicine were used to observe the funeral, but the mourning was too much, and the body was already weak, so the old illness relapsed.
Lin Daiyu is Ruhai's only child. When Jia was alive, the couple loved her daughter. Seeing that she was smart and charming, they hired a teacher to teach her poetry and calligraphy. However, Daiyu's illness made it difficult for her to do her homework.
After the delay, the teacher had a period of leisure.
It turned out that this gentleman was not a mortal. His surname was Jia and his name was Yucun. He was also a Jinshi in the second rank. Because he was very greedy and cruel when he was the county magistrate, he was ginsenged and dismissed from office and returned to his hometown. So he could only give away the eunuchs he had accumulated over the years.
Returning to his hometown, he traveled around the world looking for opportunities. It happened that Ruhai was in need of a teacher, so he applied for the job. In fact, he was looking at Lin Ruhai's power and wanted to cling to it.
In the past few days, because his female student was bedridden, he had some free time, traveling around Yangzhou.
On this day, I came to a wild village and found a hotel in the village. I drank a few glasses of wild wine to enjoy the trip.
He thought about being grabbed by someone as soon as he entered the door. He looked up and saw that it was an old acquaintance. It was Leng Zixing, an antique dealer he met while serving in the county.
The two of them had interacted several times before, and Jia Yingchun had benefited quite a bit from Leng Zixing.
Now Jia Yucun saw Leng Zixing and said quickly: "Brother, why are you here?"
"After completing this transaction, I will go to Beijing. I don't want to meet you, Brother Yucun, here." Leng Zixing said with a hearty smile.
So Leng Zixing pulled Jia Yucun to his table, asked someone to add a pair of wine chopsticks, and the two started drinking together.
The two got chatting and couldn't help but talk about the strange things in Beijing. Leng Zixing took advantage of his drunkenness and said to Jia Yucun: "To talk about the strange things in Beijing, we can't escape from the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion."
"To say that this Rongguo Mansion has something to do with me." Jia Yucun said somewhat reservedly.
Leng Zixing didn't believe him, "It's impossible. The Rongguo Mansion is so prominent now. I can have something to do with them."
Jia Yucun said with a sneer: "Since the restoration of Jia in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Jia family branch has been prosperous and can be found in all provinces. Who can examine it in detail? If we talk about the Rongguofu branch, they are of the same genealogy."
Leng Zixing slapped his thigh and became more and more enthusiastic about Jia Yucun, "Brother Yucun would be really lucky if he could establish a relationship with his family. His family is now so prominent that no one in the world can compare with it."
"I have never heard of this. I only heard that it has become more and more declining in recent years." Jia Yucun shook his head in disbelief. Jia Yucun did not know that Jia Ke was actually from Rongguo Mansion. He only thought that he was a member of the Jia family and became Wuyang.
Hou, otherwise, how could he be so calm.
Leng Zixing hurriedly said to him: "I'm afraid you don't know the inside story, brother. Let me explain it to you. After the death of Rong Guogong, he left two sons, the eldest named Jia She and the second named Jia Zheng. Now
The wife is still here. The eldest son, Jia She, has been an official, but he is a mediocre person and does not manage the family affairs. Only the second son, Jia Zheng, has been fond of reading since childhood and is an upright man. His grandfather loved him and originally wanted him to be born in Kejia.
, Unexpectedly, as soon as Daishan's deathbed manuscript was published, the emperor took pity on his ancestors and asked his eldest son to serve as an official. He also asked how many other sons he had and immediately introduced him. He also gave the political master an additional title of chief and asked him to join the ministry.
I studied at the university, and now I have been promoted to Yuanwailang."
After Jia Yucun heard what he said, he couldn't help laughing, "If this is the case, it can't be considered prominent." He thought to himself that if he had been an official all these years, he would probably have surpassed Rong Guofu.
Leng Zixing drank a glass of wine leisurely, and then said, "Brother Yucun doesn't know. Although these two gentlemen have no ability, Mr. Zheng is good at giving birth to children."
"It's getting more and more nonsense. How can a man give birth to a child?"
"When I talk about having a child, I mean that he is good at raising children. Mr. Zheng now has a concubine named Jia Ke. You may have heard of this name." Leng Zixing said proudly.
Jia Yucun was shocked when he heard this. He was obsessed with official career and naturally knew the affairs of the court clearly. He might not know much about others, but he knew Jia Ke very well. This is the current situation today.
The head minister of the Military Aircraft Department, who can be regarded as the chief minister of the cabinet, has been named Wuyang Marquis. Unexpectedly, he is from his family.
Jia Yucun quickly asked: "Could it be Master Jia, the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department?"
When Leng Zixing heard this question, he slapped his leg and said, "It's this Lord Jiahou."
After hearing this, Jia Yucun's face was full of shock. He did not expect that such a figure would appear in the already degenerated Rongguo Mansion, which would bring Rongguo Mansion back to the level of a top aristocratic family.
Leng Zixing looked at the shock on Jia Yucun's face, and continued with a proud smile: "Compared to this eldest son, the children born to Mr. Zheng's legitimate wife are also extraordinary. The name of the first-born son is
Jia Zhu, who entered school at the age of fourteen, later married and had children, is now less than twenty years old, has passed the imperial examination, and has a bright future."
When Jia Yucun heard what he said about Jia Zhu, he didn't take it to heart, just because the eldest son of the concubine was really shocking. Compared with Jia Ke, Jia Zhu's achievements were nothing.
"The second child gave birth to a young lady. It is strange that she was born on the first day of the new year. And this eldest lady is now a concubine in the emperor's palace. She is also a promising person."
"This Mr. Zheng is really good at giving birth to children. With these children supporting the Rongguo Mansion, it can at least prosper for several generations." Jia Yucun complimented Leng Zixing from time to time while Leng Zixing was speaking.
"I didn't expect that after more than ten years, another son was born. What's even more surprising is that as soon as the baby was born, there was a piece of colorful crystal jade in his mouth, and there were many writings on it."
After listening to Leng Zixing's words, Jia Yucun also had a compliment in his tone: "I think this third young master also has a background."
Unexpectedly, Leng Zixing smiled coldly and said: "This time, brother, you guessed wrong. Compared with his two elder brothers, this one is truly the root of a prodigal family. This young master drew lots when he was one year old.
The one caught was Rouge Box, so Mr. Zheng thought he was a drunkard and must be disciplined strictly. But his grandmother loved him like the apple of her eye and took him to teach him personally. Mr. Zheng had no way to deal with him. Now he can only
Knowing that he was hanging out with pretty maids, he also said: "Daughters are flesh and blood made of water, and men are flesh made of mud. When I see daughters, I feel refreshed, and when I see men, I feel turbid and smelly." Now Mr. Zheng has two
The angry son has now left him alone."
When Jia Yucun heard what he said, he felt attached to him, so he hurriedly said sternly: "No, since he can be born with jade in his hand, he must be a very smart person. As long as he is taught to read and know the etiquette, his future will be unlimited."
At this time, Leng Zixing also realized that he had made some mistakes in what he said just now. If this reached the ears of the Jia family, Mrs. Wang would have to skin herself, so he quickly made up for it, "Yes, I think so too. Think of those ordinary people outside,
It must have been a mistake."
After Leng Zixing said this, he quickly changed the subject, "In addition to the political master, the pardon master also has a son Jia Lian. However, this son does not like to study, but he is indeed very proficient in general affairs. Now he has a fellow scholar,
She helped her uncle with the housework. Later, Mrs. Wang took the decision and married her niece. Now this young lady is in charge of the internal affairs of the entire Rongguo Mansion. She is smart and capable, has a distinguished appearance, and speaks quickly and neatly, which is very popular.
Mrs. Jia's wife likes it."
When Jia Yucun heard this, his desire to cling became stronger, but he had no way out, so he couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, I have seen this Mr. Lian before. He came to express condolences for our wife a few days ago. I saw him from a distance in the lobby. He is indeed a talented and suave person. He is worthy of his family background. I have pity on me.
He just comes from a humble family, and it would be a lifelong regret not being able to get to know him."
Seeing him like this, Leng Zixing asked him about his situation during this period. Jia Yucun was bored, so he drank and told him about his downfall during this period of love, weeping while talking.
"To tell you the truth, brother, I have been really unlucky during this period. I was framed for my good official position, and now I can only work as a teacher for his daughter-in-law at the house of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor Lin. Now I think I can't gallop.
It's really sad that the officialdom dominates the world." As Jia Yucun said this, he drank one glass of wine on the table. Now he was really drinking to drown his sorrows.
Leng Zixing burst out laughing after hearing what he said. While laughing, he looked at Jia Yucun with mocking eyes.
This made Jia Yucun angry. Although Leng Zixing had a lot of money, he was a second-ranked Jinshi after all. He dared to laugh at himself like this. Although he no longer had an official position, he still had many in the same year. As long as he
Even if he loses his face, he can go bankrupt, so Jia Yucun said angrily: "Brother, what does this mean? Are you just gloating about my misfortune, and are you going to bully me when you see me in trouble?"
Jia Yucun is now extremely angry. As long as Leng Zixing says something wrong, he will immediately write to everyone in the same year to give Leng Zixing some color.
Leng Zixing saw that Jia Yucun was angry, so he quickly stopped laughing, handed Jia Yucun his hand and said, "It's not that I'm laughing at you, but it's because you have something to do with Rongguo Mansion and you don't know it."
When Jia Yucun heard what he said, he put away his scowl and showed a curious expression. He cupped his hands and said to him: "I have offended my brother just now. Please forgive me and show me a clear path."
"Don't you know that your employer, Lin Ruhai, is the son-in-law of Rongguo Mansion?"
Leng Zixing's words were like a bolt of lightning, breaking the darkness in Jia Yucun's heart.
