Chapter 308 Can I be released on bail pending trial?
In March in Beijing, spring flowers are blooming.
Three edicts were issued from Yangxin Hall, one of which was about border trade.
The emperor issued a special decree that from now on, all merchants and citizens of the Qing Dynasty would not be allowed to trade across the border without permission.
The second sacred message is that the National History Museum reported that the list of ministers who died during the Ming Dynasty compiled by the decree the year before last has been completed. The emperor specially ordered that the officials of the Ming Dynasty be restored to their original official positions and each of them was given a posthumous title.
The third decree instructs the relevant government offices to delete and cancel books.
The decree requires that collections of books written by people from the Ming Dynasty whose meaning contradicts the dynasty should be destroyed.
From then on, the Qing Dynasty began to burn books of all dynasties on a large scale from top to bottom, focusing on the books of the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, thousands of miles away in England, a man named Watt improved a new thing called a steam engine, demonstrated its good working performance to the public, and officially started mass production.
At about the same time, a group of people in North America were convening the Continental Congress, preparing to issue a secession announcement called the "Declaration of Independence."
above!
It has nothing to do with Master Jia Jiashikai who is in prison.
Who knows what happened, but Qianlong never sent anyone to take him to the palace since he arrived in Beijing and was imprisoned by the Ministry of Punishments.
It was said to be a ministry meeting, but the Ministry of Punishment did not bring up Jia Liu, the prince-in-law, and together with the Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate came to have three meetings to interrogate Jia Shikai.
A few days passed without any movement, which made Jia Liu think that he had been forgotten.
Helpless, he could only read books every day to pass the time.
The sun was nice today, and the sun came in early, making Jia Liu lazy, so he lay on the rocking chair with his feet on the window sill, reading a book and humming a tune.
"I will be fine, the flowers will be fragrant, time will pass, the memories are so beautiful. I am thinking of you, always thinking of you, you have become a secret in my heart."
The song has an inexplicable sadness in it.
Because Jia Liu misses many people, of course, the one he misses the most is his eldest wife Ruxiu, who is about to give birth.
Someone came to the house.
It was Song Jinzhong, the manager whose personnel relations were in Prince Xin's Mansion but whose work unit was in Prince Consort's Mansion.
Although there is a sign outside the prison of the Ministry of Punishment that says "No trespassing without summons, no unauthorized entry by non-relevant personnel, violators will be severely punished", whoever can't get along with Yinzi, and who dares to offend the people who believe in the palace.
Besides, who knows if this prince-in-law will change his mind?
At that time, Academician Aktun was in and out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment three times.
Yu Zhongtang, the Chief Military Minister of the Front Formation, as well as the Minister of Political Affairs, Ying Lian, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, were sent to the jail of the Ministry of Punishment because of the eunuch Gao Yuncong. However, the two adults stayed for a few days and were reinstated.
Therefore, the people in the Ministry of Punishment are very discerning. As long as the decree does not say that Jia Jia Shikai should be dragged out and beheaded, they have to make it easier for others. No one dares to bully these officials who are awaiting trial.
Of course, it's because their predecessors have suffered a lot.
During the Kangxi period, an official from the Ministry of Industry was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and was bullied by the jailers. Later, he was released from prison and transferred to the Ministry of Punishment, where he became the doctor in charge of the prison. As a result, the jailers who had bullied him were killed by this jailer within a day.
The doctor ordered people to beat six of them down with boards, and three of them were carried back and died.
From then on, there were no longer any jailers who troubled the prisoners.
Song Jinzhong said that after the incident with his consort, the master and Gege were very worried. Gege went to her brother to plead with the emperor with a big belly, but Jia Liu and his brother-in-law Chunying were scolded by the emperor after they entered the palace.
Later, I still communicated with the adults, and the family felt a little relieved.
He Shen is in a great position now. He is very easy to talk to in the Ministry of Justice, not because his wife's grandfather Yinglian is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, but because he himself has been complimented as "He Zhongtang".
In the twelfth lunar month of last year, Heshen Jin was the first-class bodyguard in front of the imperial family.
Half a month later, he was appointed deputy commander-in-chief of Manchuria at Zhenglan Banner. Another half month later, he was appointed the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. At the same time, he was assigned to the military aircraft office.
His popularity was unparalleled for a while, and he was even more respected by the emperor than Ying Lian.
The Military Aircraft Department is equivalent to being a trainee for the Military Aircraft Minister. Fulehun was appointed to the Military Aircraft Department after he returned to Beijing.
Generally, after working in the military aircraft department for more than half a year, you can be promoted to the military aircraft minister.
Therefore, He Shen, who is only 25 years old now, is simply the most dazzling star in the political arena of the Qing Empire.
No one can outshine him.
Some of them were either beaten by Jia Liu or indirectly beaten.
Such as Fukangan, such as Agui, such as Mingliang, such as Fuchanan
That is to say, there is no way to claim credit from Heshen. Otherwise, Heshen would not be able to forgive Brother Dongge for working so hard for him if Heshen did not give him eighteen million taels.
Ruxiu clamored to come to the Ministry of Justice to see her husband, but she was about to give birth, and no one in the family dared to let her come.
Jia Daquan was afraid that his daughter-in-law would sneak into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, so he specially called his two daughters back to stay with him from morning to night and watch.
Jia Liu felt that this was the most correct thing Jia Daquan had ever done in his life.
After all, it is a prison with poor air circulation. Good people will become sick if they stay in there for a long time, let alone a pregnant woman who is about to give birth.
I am also worried about whether Ruxiu's body can give birth smoothly. Giving birth to a child these days is a very difficult time for women.
Many pregnant women die in childbirth.
He only wished Qianlong had left him in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, otherwise Jia Liu would have been with Ruxiu himself.
Amidst the melancholy tunes, the cell door was opened.
It's jailer Song San.
"Sir, it's time to eat."
Song San opened the food box with a smile on his face. There were four dishes and four dishes, all delicious and steaming.
It wasn't Jia's takeout at six o'clock, but the wife Ruxiu, who had a big belly, cooked it together with her two sisters-in-law, and had it delivered by carriage.
"Sir, please use it slowly!"
After serving wine to the prince's consort, Song San obediently withdrew.
Ever since the prince-in-law was admitted to the prison of the Ministry of Punishments, the jailers had been celebrating the Chinese New Year. No matter who they were, they only had to go to the prince-in-law to say hello, say hello, and do whatever they wanted. Good guy, it would cost him a hundred taels.
Give them a few years of salary!
Even if you tell a joke to your father-in-law, you will be rewarded!
The jailers all lamented how wonderful it would be if the consort never came out of prison!
While eating the food cooked by his sister and wife, Jia Liu felt sad again and felt more and more urgent to go home.
I was wondering if after dinner I could have someone pass a message to He Shen, asking him to speak to Qianlong, and if he could be released on bail first to accompany his wife and give birth to the child.
It means being released on bail pending trial.
Legal principles don't care about human relationships.
Just as I was thinking about it, someone outside suddenly said "Oops": "It's been promoted!"
"gave birth?!"
Jia Liu was so excited that he put down his wine glass and rushed to the door, shouting anxiously: "Is my wife giving birth or is Princess giving birth?"
"I was promoted!"
A familiar figure walked leisurely in front of Jia Liu. If it wasn't an old rich man, who could he be?
It’s just that this guy’s appearance is wrong!
Ruby hat top, crane patchwork, beads on the chest, flower feathers on both eyes
"Don't look, I am now the Minister of Rites."
Fulehun looked at Jia Liu, who was wearing prison uniform, with a proud look on his face. His expression suddenly changed and he coughed lightly: "Important!"
"ah?"
Jia Liuyi was startled and quickly knelt down.
"Meet me at Jia Jiashi's Kaiying Terrace."
After pronouncing the edict, the brilliance on the old man's face reappeared and he snorted slightly: "You bastard, stop talking nonsense. It's not good for you."
"Hey, hey!"
Jia Liu had an apologetic smile on his face, "How could you do that? You are always a weakling who can't be beaten to death. I'm really scared of you."
The jailer came and opened the door.
After coming out of the cell, Jia Liu suddenly asked the old man: "Is that Yingtai the place where Chongzhen summoned Yuan Chonghuan?"
