Chapter 126 Disciple

The fact that the Soldiers and Horses Division arrested Young Master Zhou was not a big deal in the huge capital city, so it was only spread within a small area.

Zhou Hongchang wanted to rely on his daughter's relationship to force the Army and Horses Division to release him, so he waited for a response and did not act rashly.

On the other hand, there were quite a few people in the Military and Horse Department talking privately, because the prison of their Military and Horse Department had not imprisoned a "national nobleman" like Zhou Sheng for a long time.

Although he stayed at home, the deputy commander Cui Yaosheng, who was always paying attention to the movements in the Military and Horse Division, was very excited when he heard the news. He felt that this was a God-given opportunity and was already secretly planning it. , how to use this incident to fight back against Jia Lian...

Jia Lian didn't care much about the thoughts of these people. He only acted according to his own plan.

At the gate of the front yard of the Bingma Division, Jia Lian personally escorted Fu Shi, Zhan Guang and others out.

They were all disciples and guests of Jia Zheng. Jia Lian sent people to invite them in the morning. They heard that Jia Lian had something to ask them for help. How could they not be happy?

They give face like this. When Jia Lian has finished using others, he will naturally give him some face.

“Thank you very much for today, gentlemen. When I finish my work here, I will definitely be rewarded.”

When Fu Shi and four or five other people heard this, they hurriedly He bent down and returned the courtesy, and said with a flattering smile: "Second Master, you are serious. It is an honor for us to be able to serve Second Master. I dare not bother Second Master with reward..."

These Qing Dynasties of Jia Zheng The guests and ministers were all "well-educated men" who had studied for more than ten years at least. However, due to various reasons, they were "unappreciated". Fortunately, Jia Zheng had an eye for talents and recruited them as diners in the mansion. Therefore, they all recognized Jia Zheng. The government is a benefactor and bole. Regardless of age, everyone regards themselves as juniors and disciples.

But according to Jia Lian, these people are just like their names, they are all low-class characters.

For example, Fu Shi is just following the trend.

Zhan Guang is just a Zhanguanger...

But if they are not popular, just because their character is not good, it does not mean that they are worthless.

Just like this Fu Shi, he actually has the reputation of being a civil servant. He is the most prestigious disciple under Jia Zheng, and Jia Zheng treats him with the most respect, which is different from other disciples.

Jia Lian also knew that in the future, with the help of Jia Zheng, Fu Shi would go to Shuntian Mansion to serve as the general judge...

Therefore, in addition to Jia Zheng, these people In front of the government, he is flattering, and in Jia's house, he also considers himself a scholar and prides himself on being noble. In previous years, even he, the "Second Master Lian," was not veryIn his eyes, he would rather please Jia Baoyu than talk to him.

Now, seeing Jia Lian become successful, he immediately changed his attitude and started to please him just like Jia Zheng.

In fact, they were so ingratiated with the Duke’s government because they wanted to rely on the government’s power to become officials in the future.

Jia Lian had no intention of talking to them much, just said a few polite words and asked his subordinates to send them back intact.

When he turned around, he saw Gu Danfeng, a weak and injured Wenwen walking out, and knew that he had already finished writing the notes.

Jia Lian suddenly laughed.

He felt that it was not completely useless for Jia Zheng to support so many Qingke. At least, many official tasks that did not need to be done personally could be completed under the guise of Qingke.

What he lacks now is someone with no other foundation, clean feet, and someone who can help him handle some tedious clerical work.

Although there are several people in the Military and Horse Division, they all have official positions. They can be used, but they cannot command them.

This is a ready-made young man with suitable conditions in all aspects. He has been delivered to the door. How can we find a way to fool him...

So, Gu Danfeng, who was about to say goodbye to Jia Lian and go home, found that Jia Lian suddenly laughed at him maliciously. Before he could finish his farewell words, the other party grabbed his wrist, and he heard the other party laugh and said: "I am with you." Brother Gu fell in love with us as soon as we met, so why should we leave in such a hurry? I happened to have a new batch of fine tea here, and I would like to ask Brother Gu to taste it with me..."

 …

After sending Gu Danfeng away, Jia Lian was quite satisfied.

With the blessing of the courtesy and virtuous corporal he learned from Jia Zheng, and the blessing of his own cake painting skills, as the third son of the Gu family, Gu Danfeng, who was not very proud of his life, had no power to resist. I was moved by what he said.

However, as a Confucian student, I attach great importance to filial piety. It seems that I don’t dare to make the decision on these matters myself. I just said that I would go home and discuss it with my father before making a reply...


After sitting in the Yamen for another half day, arranging the internal and external affairs properly, seeing that it was getting late, Jia Lian headed back home.

After taking a look at Jia She, who was neither dead nor alive, he was invited by Jia Zheng's servant, saying that Jia Zheng wanted to see him.

Jia Lian came to Mengpo Zhai.

Jia Zheng was indeed worried about the Zhou family's affairs.

Jia Lian just explained with a smile that he had his own concerns and at the same time felt a little sad for Jia Zheng and others.

The people in power in the Ming Dynasty's government are now afraid of even a relative with a weak foundation, which shows how cautious he has become.

Thinking about it, Jia Zheng will be more courageous when he becomes the head of state in the future.

Jia Zheng was originally just trying to dissuade him, but when he saw that Jia Lian had his own ideas, he didn’t say much. He just sighed: “Today’s wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang, and Uncle Shoushan I have paid a visit to the Zhou family for matters related to the Zhou family, so the old lady also knows about it.

These people have been friends of our family for many generations. If it is not a matter of right and wrong, the face should be given. I have to give it.

So if the old lady wants to see you later, you have to explain it well and don’t contradict the old lady..."

It turns out that although the Mr. Zhou family is rational, He stood still, but he did not hide it from his wife and mother after all. In front of the two women who had lost their minds, Zhou Hongchang could not hold back. He could only let them rely on favors and follow their own way to save his son and grandson. !

In the end, it was entrusted to Xiangyang Houfu and Shoushan Bofu.

"Yes, my nephew understands."

Jia Lian responded to Jia Zheng with a smile, not worried at all.

According to the tradition of the Jia family, the men in the family do not care about the affairs at home, and the women in the family do not care about the affairs outside.

Therefore, don’t say that with Jia Mu’s shrewdness, she may not directly agree to the two imperial orders. Even if Jia Mu is really confused for a moment and wants to take care of it, it doesn’t matter.

Now that his wings have become stiff, it is not easy for Jia Mu to control him even if she wants to.

It’s just a lot of effort.

On the second day, when Jia Lian arrived at the office on time, he found that his adjutant Cui Yaosheng had actually come to work.

After tapping, Jia Lian looked at him with a smile and asked, "Why are Master Cui here today? Didn't I approve a fake for you? Why, your wife's condition has improved?"

Cui Yaosheng is a slightly stout man in his forties. Hearing Jia Lian's question, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, sir. My daughter's condition has gotten much better. I know that today's Yamen Things are very busy in the middle of the year, and this is your first time taking office, so I am afraid that I will not be able to handle it, so I am extremely worried and come here to help you."

"Master Cui is very interested..."

Jia Lian After smiling, he ignored him and concentrated on assigning matters.

Cui Yaosheng’s face looked a little ugly.

YesterdayHe almost didn't sleep that night. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the Yamen and have a look.

Without seeing the situation in the yamen with his own eyes, he could not feel at ease. He even thought that if Jia Lian was willing to accept him and say a few good words to him, he would not be unable to respect Jia Lian as an officer. ...

Now seeing Jia Lian’s arrogant attitude, he immediately put aside his desire for peace and sneered, interrupting Jia Lian and said: “I heard that your Excellency ordered yesterday that not only the people in the palace were beaten, Empress Zhou’s biological brother even imprisoned him.”

Jia Lian was not angry at all about Cui Yaosheng’s rudeness, but just nodded, “That’s what happened.”

Cui Yaosheng said rudely: "Oh, sir, aren't you worried at all?

I heard that Empress Zhou was the most favored by His Majesty in the palace. One of the empresses, even though your Excellency comes from a royal family, I’m afraid I can’t afford to offend Empress Zhou.

Therefore, I would like to advise you to release the second young master of the Zhou family as soon as possible. , so as not to get angry...

I am not looking down on you, but I am doing it for your sake and for the sake of our Western Army Commander."

Hearing Cui Yaosheng Such words were used to sway Jia Lian, and the officials below were all silent.

Cui Yaosheng had a smug look on his face. He wanted to deliberately anger Jia Lian so that Jia Lian could not step down, and then he would not let him go.

He is also waiting, waiting for Jia Lian to completely offend the Zhou family, waiting for the nobles in the palace to give His Majesty the emperor a pillow, so that Jia Lian can't eat and walk around...

　That way, he can reap the benefits.

Seeing that Jia Lian's face became a little gloomy, he was not afraid, but felt even more happy. He was about to step forward and continue to squeeze, but he saw a female guard beside Jia Lian, suddenly pulling out her sword. Pull out half of it and press it in front of him.

The gleaming sharp edge of the sword made him freeze on the spot, and also made the atmosphere in the lobby tense instantly.

Cui Yaosheng's face suddenly became very ugly and angry, and he asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this, sir?"

Jia Lian was very satisfied with Aqi's reaction and paused. , then said with a smile: "Please forgive me, Mr. Cui, this servant girl is rude. She will do the same to anyone who comes within three steps of me for no reason.

It's all my fault, on the battlefield I killed too many enemies. After returning to the capital, I became a little timid and fearful. I was always worried that someone would assassinate me.

If this frightened Mr. Cui, please forgive Mr. Cui..."< br />
Then, Aqi was asked to put away her weapon.

Jia Lian’s words made Cui Yaosheng neither advance nor retreat.No, his expression was very embarrassed and angry, and he felt that he had been humiliated.

Just before he could find a way to regain his face, he saw an officer and soldier running up hurriedly, "My lords, the father-in-law from the palace is here..."

Cui Yaosheng , suddenly looked happy.
