Thanks to Little Overlord Bijiji for being the top brother in this book!
........
In the household registration room, Jia Daquan and his father sat on the stools with their heads hanging down and said nothing.
Because the news was so conclusive, Jia Hanfuzhen, the old man of the Jia family, was appointed as the second minister by the current emperor.
What is Erchen?
People who are unfaithful and unfilial can also be summarized as domestic slaves with three surnames.
Of course, the people have a unified name for this kind of people - traitors.
Although Zhao Guodong, who is in charge of the household registration office, is a seventh-grade official, the household registration office is an important department of the Dutong Yamen, so he has contact with many senior officials, so he can naturally hear some inside information that the people below him do not know.
Because his father and grandfather had a good relationship with the Jia family, and knowing that the two men were both bad-tempered, and fearing that their nonsense would cause serious trouble, Zhao Guodong specially brought the Jia family's father and son to the household registration room.
After entering the house, I poured a bowl of tea for each of them, but they were not in the mood to drink tea at the moment. The old man had his head drooped, and the young man also had a dull look on his face.
After a long time, Jia Daquan swallowed hard and asked Zhao Guodong why his old man was designated as the second minister by the emperor.
Daquan is really unwilling to die if he doesn't figure this out.
Jia Liu is also anxious. Not only has his good bannerman identity been taken away, Yun Qiwei, who has been fighting for generations, will soon be asked to take it back. What the hell did Qianlong do?
This is not the case even when you are taking off the grindstone and killing the donkey.
Without his identity as a bannerman, he, Jia Liu, still interrogates the stupid Galileo and makes the stupid old lady happy! Not to mention his eightieth birthday, even his eightyth birthday is not his concern.
Life is really full of ups and downs.
When he thought that he was getting further and further away from the political arena of the Qing Dynasty, Jia Liu's originally turbulent heart became extremely cold. He had even prepared for the worst - packed up his things and ran to the White Lotus Sect to seek justice for heaven.
Also, Heavenly Father appears and Heavenly Brother descends.
"This incident actually happened just a few days ago,"
According to Zhao Guodong, a few days ago, after the emperor accompanied the queen mother to watch the Kunqu opera "The Peach Blossom Fan", he suddenly sent an order to the National History Museum to compile a biography of the two ministers who rebelled against the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. They made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty.
All the important officials of the Han Dynasty were designated as Erchen.
Special mention is made of Hong Chengchou, who surrendered to his master as a manager, Zu Dashou, who feared disaster and brought the city to surrender, as well as Feng Quan, Wang Duo, Jin Zhijun, Dang Chongya, Jia Hanfu and others.
The result was that the Jia family, which was not on the flag list, was specifically put on the list by the Dutong Yamen.
"Your Majesty, he is too..."
Jia Daquan wanted to say that the emperor was ignorant of the truth, did not distinguish right from right, acted blindly, and had the heart of a disciple of Han Gongcheng, but he still swallowed the words.
Compared with being a Han Chinese, it is not cost-effective to be taken to the market entrance and beheaded.
At this point, what Zhao Guodong can say is to advise Jia Daquan to accept the reality and go home to pack his things and prepare to raise the flag. Don't make trouble. If the trouble continues, the Jia family will definitely not get any good results.
Jia Daquan was really panicked and sighed. He had never done anything serious in the past decades except eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. Suddenly, he couldn't even think quickly when he encountered such a big thing.
At this time, his son Jia Liu, who he had always looked down upon, suddenly asked: "Uncle Zhao, is it the emperor who ordered our Jia family to raise the flag?"
Zhao Guodong shook his head: "That's not true."
Jia Liu asked again: "Then who put our Jia family on the flag list?"
Hailancha, who was also the commander-in-chief of the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army, would accompany Agui to conquer Dajinchuan, so Jia Liu was definitely not the coffin board Hailancha, Qianlong's favorite, built for the Jia family.
Therefore, as long as it is not Hailancha who is the top leader, but the people below are responsible for the matter, Jia Liu feels that there is still room for redemption.
Although Jia Daquan is a loser, he is not a fool. When his son asked this question, he immediately understood what he meant and quickly looked at Zhao Guodong: "Old Zhao, who is causing trouble with our Jia family!"
"this..."
Zhao Guodong was a little hesitant, but he thought the matter was a certainty. He would have inquired through other channels if he didn't tell the Jia family, so he looked outside and told the two men that the Jia family had been put on the flag list for three months.
Fu Changan, who had just assumed the post of deputy capital unification.
Fu Changan?
Jia Liu heard why this name was so familiar, and immediately remembered that this boy was the younger brother of Fu Kang'an, the illegitimate son of Qianlong who was rumored to be, and the son of Fu Heng, an important minister of the Qianlong Dynasty. Fu Heng's sister was Qianlong's second son who died twenty years ago.
A queen.
"Fudutong?"
After hearing this name, Jia Daquan's face, which had some hope at first, became even more desperate than before.
The reason is that this Fudutong was of such a distinguished background. Not only was his father a bachelor, but his elder brother Fukangan was also the deputy capital of Manchuria with a yellow flag. The two brothers were raised in the palace by the emperor since they were young.
Everyone needs to be favored by the saints.
Therefore, if Fu Changan really takes the Jia family out of the flag, Jia Daquan feels that this matter will be difficult to overturn.
Jia Liu was also angry, not because Chang'an was having trouble with his Jia family, but because Chang'an was too good.
I think Jia Liu was born as a bannerman, but now he has nothing but his status as a bannerman. But Fu Changan became a Lanling bodyguard at the age of fourteen, and was promoted to the first-class bodyguard at the age of seventeen. He seems to be eighteen now, but
He is actually a second-rank deputy commander of the Han Army!
What is Jia Liu?
We will soon change from "nobles" to "kneeling clan"!
As for why Fu Changan had trouble with the Jia family, Jia Liu guessed that it must be that Fu Changan, who grew up in the palace since childhood, was too accurate about his uncle Qianlong's thoughts.
Qianlong's designation of the meritorious officials as the Second Officials was unreasonable, so he could not personally pass the order to the descendants of the meritorious officials to raise the flag, but he must have disliked the descendants of the Second Officials in his heart, and he wanted to send all the Han troops to the flag.
In order to purify the blood of the Eight Banners, naturally there will be good slaves who can figure out what the master wants to do to solve this problem for the master.
No matter how favored Fu Changan is, he is still a slave.
Jia Daquan didn't dare to shout to find Fu Chang'an, because he knew that he couldn't afford to offend him, and he might not be able to see him, but he couldn't accept the consequences of flagging the flag. He sat there half-slumped and looked like he was being whipped.
Like a muscle, he kept mumbling: "What to do, what to do..."
"Even if the flag is really raised, I won't let you go at this juncture. You have to celebrate the Queen Mother's eightieth birthday, right? You two go back and have a good discussion with the family to see how the property is divided and what can be sold.
Sell as soon as possible and don’t delay, otherwise the price will definitely be too high..."
Zhao Guodong really has a good heart and really thinks about the Jia family.
"Uncle Zhao, is there really nothing we can do about this matter?" Jia Liu was still unwilling to become a kneeling tribe.
"What do you think can be done about this?"
Zhao Guodong shook his head and signaled to the unsatisfactory boy of the Jia family to stop thinking nonsense and take his father back quickly.
"Uncle Zhao, please think of a way for my family. As long as our Jia family can stay in the flag, my family will definitely remember your Uncle Zhao well."
Jia Liu habitually reached for cigarettes from his pocket, but found that there were no Huazi and no money in his pocket these days, so he quickly looked at his lost father.
Even though Zhao Guodong is just a minor official in the Dutong Yamen, many times this kind of minor official can help people solve many problems. Even a few words of advice is better than the two men having their legs broken.
Jia Daquan didn't understand what his son meant at first, but he finally realized it after his son winked at him several times. He quickly took out the money that he had planned to go to Wanhua Tower to drink wine at night and handed it to Zhao Guodong.
"Hey, what are you doing? Put it away and let others see what it looks like... You really don't want it, you and I are not outsiders..."
After a lot of back and forth, Jia Daquan still forced the bag of broken silver into Zhao Guodong's "desk" drawer.
Jia Liu watched from the side, wondering if Lao Zhao still didn't give any advice, then he would add more money.
"This is a big deal,"
Zhao Guodong frowned. He was troubled by the Jia family and had no choice but to say: "I really don't have any solution, but don't your family have two aunts who are married to the clan? Why don't you two go and find out?"
If you can deliver the message in the palace, there is no need to raise the flag if you are not sure."
"yes!"
Jia Daquan suddenly became more energetic. His eldest aunt of the Jia family married Seleng'e, the son of Prince An Yuele, as his legitimate wife. His second aunt married Gu Lugu, the son of Dorobele Shangshan, who was also his legitimate wife!
So his Jia family has two cousins with yellow belts!
Talking about it, his Jia family is still on the inside, while Aixinjueluo is on the outside.
Jia Liu's eyes also lit up. Fu Chang'an was favored by Qianlong as a foreign minister, but the elder cousins of the Jia family were authentic Aixinjueluo. The elders really wanted to help. The Jia family can be saved, and Mr. Liu can be saved.
!
Immediately I felt a little uncomfortable, why?
They are both bannermen. Manchu bannermen can marry women from the Han army banner, but Han army bannermen cannot marry Manchu women. He, Jia Liu, thinks it is unfair.
When the Sixth Master becomes prosperous in the future, he will marry an Aisin Gioro girl as his concubine no matter what. If the clan is not good enough, he will marry someone with a Manchu surname, such as Niu Gulu and Heping.
