When Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen arrived, the first-class Viscount Hou Xiaokang, the head of the Duke Xiuguo family, also arrived, and they happened to catch up with this scene.
Seeing the furious Niu Jizong grabbing Ma Shang's chest with his fist, Chen Ruiwen, who had been silent until now, had to stand up and stop Ma Shang, and persuaded the two men to leave.
Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen were all frightened, their faces turned pale, and they didn't know what had happened.
At a glance, there were six families in the Hachigong family. Except for the Shi family of Guo Guo Gong and the Liu family of Li Guogong, all the other families were present. In addition, although they did not belong to the Hachigong family, they actually had real power and influence. The more powerful Wang family and Chen Daoxian, who is now somewhat impressive, basically have almost all the leading figures in the Wuxun family, well, including the Feng family.
How could there be a fight in such a big scene, and it was Niu Jizong, the governor of the Beijing camp, who wanted to beat Ma Shang?!
The three Jia family members could hardly believe their eyes, but Hou Xiaokang, who was more well-informed, knew some of the inside story. He only had a look of contempt on his face, but said nothing, and sat on his own chair.
"Brother Xiaokang is here?" Wang Ziteng ignored Niu Jizong's rage. He knew that with Chen Ruiwen here, it would be impossible to start a fight. Now that Hou Xiaokang is here, it is even more impossible to start a fight. Moreover, Ma Shang is in this situation. , even if Niu Jizong did give him two blows in anger, he would probably only suffer.
In situations like this, in the Hachigong family, usually the head of the family or the clan leader comes, but Jia Zheng also came, naturally because he still holds a position in the Ministry of Industry, and his legitimate daughter is also in the palace. There is also a relationship like Wang Ziteng around me.
However, we can also tell something from the position of the Jia family. Except for Wang Ziteng sitting on the main seat, Niu Jizong sitting on the guest seat, Chen Ruiwen, Chen Daoxian, Hou Xiaokang and Ma Shang lined up, the Jia family can only sit in the main seat. Being the last person to accompany you is enough to illustrate the current status of the Jia family of Rongning Second House among the four princes and eight princes.
This is actually a reflection of the strength of the family.
For example, in the Jia family, from the generation of Jia Jing, Jia She and Jia Zheng to the generation of Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, and Jia Baoyu, there was originally a Jia Jing who was somewhat promising. He was a Jinshi but abandoned his official position to practice Taoism, but Jia Zheng failed. He has only read books, so he is basically hopeless.
As for the other families, the children in the family still have some actual duties. Even if they are military attachés, they at least have some power in their hands, which is better than Jia Zheng who is just messing around.
"Enhou, Cunzhou, Chongguo, please take a seat." Wang Ziteng was not so humble and polite to his in-laws.
Jia Zhen's nickname is Guo, but naturally no one in the Ningguo Mansion can call him, and most people in the Rong Mansion call him Uncle Zhen.
All three of them felt that today's incident was of great importance, but they didn't know what it was, so they were all a little uneasy.
Under the persuasion of Chen Ruiwen and Hou Xiaokang, Niu Jizong finally let go, pushed Ma Shang, and then returned to his seat bitterly.
Ma Shang was also stern in appearance, but his confidence had long since weakened, and he returned to his position dejectedly.
Thinking about the current situation, let alone if these people add insult to injury, even if they kick the Ma family out as outcasts, I am afraid that the Ma family will suffer the same disaster as the Shi family.
"Brother Jizong and Brother Ruiwen came together today, and asked me to inform Brother Xiaokang and Enhou Cunzhou. There must be something big, so I just came back from Shanxi. I have been traveling between Datong and Taiyuan for the past six months.
I was wandering back and forth, and I just vaguely heard about some things on the road. I’m not sure about the specific situation, so I’d better ask my stepbrother to tell me.”
Wang Ziteng is the first Wu Xun to serve as the right minister of the Ministry of War. He is also the only Wu Xun to hold a civil service position so far. It is also unprecedented. Even if it is only for a short time and it is also a part-time job, the meaning is different.
, which shows its status in the hearts of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.
Moreover, he has now been transferred to the post of Governor of Xuanda. In terms of status, he is even higher than Niu Jizong's Beijing Camp Jiedushi. As the leader of Wuxun, although the Wang family is not the Eight Gong family, he has become a vague member of the Wuxun family.
representative figures.
Even people like Niu Jizong, who is known as the first family of Hachigong, must admit that Wang Ziteng can best represent the interests of the Wuxun family at the moment, not to mention that Wang Ziteng is also on good terms with the Chen family of Duke Yi and Rong Ning Er.
They are considered in-laws.
Niu Jizong sighed and glanced at Chen Ruiwen and Hou Xiaokang, but ignored the Jia family members.
In his opinion, although several members of the Jia family claimed to be Dukes of the country and martial arts heroes, they were actually in a state of decline. Even compared to dark horses like Chen Daoxian and second-rate martial arts masters like Shoushan Bo and the He family who were slowly coming to the fore.
The Xun family is in great disgrace.
"What else is there to say? Brother Ruiwen and Brother Xiaokang both know that, Zi Teng, you are the governor of Xuanda, how can these news escape your eyes and ears?" Niu Jizong shook his head: "The Shi family has revealed a huge disaster.
, Shi Guangjue was greedy and lawless, colluded with the Tatars in the steppe, provided them with military supplies, profited from them, deducted military pay, and sold a large amount of military rations to Su Nang Taiji. These are the main reasons for the Ningxia rebellion..."
"How many people are involved?" Wang Ziteng asked bluntly.
"I'm afraid Shi Guangzhu won't be able to escape, and their in-laws from the Shi family - Yun Guang, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape either." Niu Jizong couldn't help but sigh again.
"Yun Guang is also involved?" Wang Ziteng was surprised, and his heart also froze.
Yun Guang was not a simple man. He was a famous minister in Beizhi Shilin. He served as the right minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing (Jinling) and also served as the governor of Shaanxi. He was also commonly known as the Chang'an Jiedu Envoy.
The system of the Great Zhou dynasty is somewhat similar to that of the former Ming Dynasty, but there are some changes. Like Nanjing (Jinling), there are six ministries and the imperial censorship. However, the six ministries and the imperial censorship officials in Nanjing in the pre-Ming Dynasty are basically some superior officials.
However, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they were assigned idle officials, while the slightly different thing in the Great Zhou Dynasty was that the ministers, ministers and censors of the Six Ministries of Nanjing and the Metropolitan Inspectorate served more as a reserve of materials for later use and as a part-time official.
According to the regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, both governors and governors were temporarily dispatched. However, as local affairs became increasingly complex and the decentralization situation became increasingly prominent, the governor system began to transform from temporary dispatch to permanent one. In order to ensure the central government's control over local areas,
Therefore, Zhou Dynasty also determined that all governors would be dispatched from the central government.
For example, the current Minister of War, Zhang Jingqiu, was transferred from Nanjing, and Yun Guang concurrently served as the governor of Shaanxi as the right minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War.
The legitimate daughter of Shi Guangzhu of the Shi family married Yun Guang's second son, which caused a sensation at the time. It would be unworthy of her status for the legitimate daughter of a dignified official to marry a civil servant, but Shi Guangjue became the commander-in-chief of Ningxia.
, and made many martial artists jealous with envy.
Without Yun Guang as a promoter, no matter how much money the Shi family spent, it would be difficult for a idiot like Shi Guangjue to serve as the chief soldier of the town.
Yun Guang also had a good relationship with Wang Ziteng, but he never thought that even after half a year of his trip, Yun Guang would be involved in the chaos in Ningxia and Gansu, which would be a big problem.
"Brother Jizong, Yun Guang is a civil servant!" Wang Ziteng couldn't help but remind him.
"Huh, so what about the civil servants?" Niu Jizong curled his lips, "Those censors would not let him go. Shi Guangjue gave him thirty thousand taels of his money from corruption, and he also wanted the iron from Chang'an to enter Ningxia.
The takeaway grassland is convenient,...”
Wang Ziteng felt a chill in his heart. If he had simply given away 30,000 taels of silver, it would have been fine. Firstly, they were related, and secondly, the Ningxia General Army belonged to the Shaanxi Xingdu Division. As the governor of Shaanxi, he naturally had the right to intervene in the management between superiors and subordinates.
Filial piety is also well understood by everyone in Dazhou.
In the style of the Zhou Dynasty, how could the annual charcoal ceremony between yamen at all levels be so rare? Could it be said that those censors would not accept it? It is possible that they would not accept it.
Anyone who has had a few friendships will never forget you.
It's just that these 30,000 taels of silver are obviously too much. It's true. This is giving someone a hand.
"Then the Shi family is hopeless." Chen Ruiwen said calmly.
Others had not yet understood, but Wang Ziteng suddenly woke up.
Yun Guang was from Yongding Prefecture in the north, and was also a Jinshi. He was considered a well-known scholar in the north. But now he was involved in such a major case because of the Shi family. Naturally, the southern scholars would take this opportunity to ridicule and criticize the northern scholars.
, and the scholars in the north probably hate the Shi family even more. Why don't the censors in the Procuratorate eat your Shi family alive?
Even the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor could not withstand the crazy bites of these censors. Of course, I am afraid that the Emperor would be happy to see what happened, and the Supreme Emperor may not have much thought to protect the Shi family now.
Ma Shang didn't react, he just thought that the Shi family was hopeless, what about the Ma family?
"Brother Ruiwen, what about our Ma family?" Ma Shang asked tremblingly.
Chen Ruiwen and Hou Xiaokang both sighed and glanced at Wang Ziteng.
Ma Shang walked tremblingly to Wang Ziteng, almost unable to stand, and said with cupped hands: "Brother Zi Teng, our families are in the same boat, please be sure to help our Ma family out of old friendship.
, a great kindness, the Ma family will never forget it..."
"Oh, your Majesty,..." Wang Ziteng quickly stood up and helped him up, "How can warriors like us get involved in such matters? These are matters that only the imperial censors can decide."
"Then what should we do?" Ma Shang held his forehead in despair and sighed, tears streaming down his face, "Is the Ma family really going to perish on its own?"
Niu Jizong, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but snorted, but was heard by Chen Ruiwen and Hou Xiaokang, who had sharp ears. Hou Xiaokang quickly said: "Brother Jizong, don't worry about it at this time. If you have an idea, just say it."
Bar."
When Ma Shang heard what he said, he gritted his teeth and walked in front of Niu Jizong, bowed deeply and saluted: "Brother Jizong, it was Ma Shang who offended me earlier. Ma Shang apologizes to you here. Brother Jizong, please take care of you and me for so many years."
In terms of friendship..."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about this here." Niu Jizong still couldn't lose face, raised his hand to signal, and then looked at Zi Teng, "Zi Teng, didn't you cheer for Feng Zitang's son to celebrate his high school success the year before last?
? He is now in great glory. He has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion in this Western Expedition. It is said that the cabinet and the emperor are full of praise, and isn't his leader and mentor Qiao Yingjia? It is said that Qiao Yingjia will soon be promoted to the position of Zuo Fudu Censor.
, and the matter of Ma Xia was investigated and handled by Yang He, and Yang He was promoted by Qiao Yingjia..."
Huh? Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen, who had been acting as transparent persons on the sidelines, couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Their information will be much blocked, and during the time when Feng Ziying came back, she only dealt with the Ministry of War, the Cabinet and other court officials. The specific matters were not leaked. They only knew that Feng Ziying had made a meritorious service, but they did not know the details.
, I just heard today that even the emperor and the elders praised me.
