Chapter 125 Yuanchun

An ordinary farce, but one with considerable impact, finally ended in a way that the common people loved to see.

Although they speculated that after the person was captured, he would probably be released after being held for a while, but at least the forty-year-old sign that resounded on the street was not fake, so the onlookers , all felt very happy, and after praising Jia Lian's "Blue Sky", they left one after another.

Gu Danfeng stepped forward and thanked Jia Lian: "My lord, Gu Min, thank you for your impartiality in enforcing the law... May I ask your name?"

Jia Lian just ordered two officers and soldiers to take the The beaten merchant went to apply medicine for his wounds, and then took him back to the Yamen to record his confession. When he looked back and saw that Gu Danfeng was interested in making friends, he smiled and said: "Jia Lian, the current commander of the Western Army and Horse Division."

　“Are you Jia Lian?”

Gu Danfeng looked a little shocked.

Jia Lian raised his eyebrows, "Do you know me?"

Gu Danfeng's eyes showed a look of surprise and explained: "Brother Jinyan and I are classmates and good friends. I once heard that he I mentioned the name of an adult..."

Jia Lian was not surprised. The official circle in the capital was neither too small nor too big.

"It turns out that I am cousin Jinyan's classmate, so this is rude."

"I dare not..."

Gu Danfeng was a little depressed. . It’s just that his family background and fame are not as good as those of Zhang Su. His cousin has already reached the fourth rank of officialdom...

Fan Jin arranged for Zhou Sheng and others to be taken away and came back to discuss Jia Lian’s wishes. Continue their party. Jia Lian asked back and saw that most of the people had eaten and drank enough, so he ordered them to disperse.

Looking back, I saw Gu Danfeng and said with a smile: "Brother Gu, please come back to the Yamen with me and make some notes."

"I am willing to listen to your arrangements."

"Please..."

……

Because the Zhou family has a daughter-in-law, they are quite famous in the capital.

So, when Zhou Hongchang, the young minister of Honglu Temple, heard that his son was making trouble on the street and was taken away by the military commander, he was so angry!

I wanted to rely on my connections to get my son out first, but the reply I received was that their relationship was not up to the mark. This matter was done by the commander of the Xicheng Military and Horse Division, that is, the Palm Seal Officer himself. Supervised.

Zhou Hongchang was even more angry. When did a small military commander dare to ride on the head of his Zhou family and dominate the Zhou family? The battalion put pressure on the entire army and horse department, but found out about the new commander of the army and horse department., is a disciple of Rongguo Mansion.

Inquiring more carefully, I found out more about her background...

Zhou Hongchang fell silent.

Before their daughter became a queen, the Zhou family was not even qualified to carry shoes for others, so how could they put pressure on others?

There is no choice but to save my son. Since I can’t do it myself, I have no choice but to tell my daughter in a letter and ask her to find a way to save her brother.

He also knew that the matter was probably his fault, so he specifically told his daughter that it would be good if she could rescue her brother, and that he should not make the matter too big.

But the emperor’s women, especially the more favored ones, are somewhat inflated. Except for people in the palace, they will not take foreign ministers seriously.

She was so brave that she even dared to arrest her younger brother?

So he decided to make the person who had offended the Zhou family look good, so he dressed up, mixed the soup, and went to see Ning Kangdi in person to blow his pillow...

If Emperor Ningkang was still a young emperor who was easily irritated and turned into a beauty, if Zhou Guiren's slanderous impeachment target was someone else, she might still be able to succeed.

But Jia Lian...

This was one of the few people that Emperor Ning Kang was preparing to reuse. As soon as Zhou Guiren mentioned Jia Lian, Emperor Ning Kang became suspicious.

In the end, the emperor was thoughtful and did not blame her. He just sent her away and then ordered the Jin Yiwei to investigate the matter in detail.

Only an hour later, Jin Yiwei reported back the news.

In the south study room, Emperor Ning Kang suddenly became angry after hearing Jin Yiwei’s report.

The so-called relatives of the country are the family members of the emperor and his concubines. Therefore, when a relative breaks the law, what is damaged is his face as the emperor.

Thanks to her, the Zhou family dared to complain first! In Emperor Ning Kang's heart, his love for Zhou Guiren was reduced by seven to eight points without realizing it.

The most indispensable thing for an emperor is a woman, and it is rare that someone he truly likes is also a woman.

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Dai Quan, as the internal minister, had the obligation to explain it, because he said: "Your Majesty, Empress Zhou is in the deep palace and does not know anything about the outside world. She only listens to what others say. Someone bullied her younger brother, and she felt angry and anxious.

Moreover, Commander Jia also did something wrong in this matter.

Although Zhou Sheng was domineering , But after all, he is the younger brother of Empress Zhou, and it is enough to give him a lesson. If he is imprisoned, it is indeed suspected of being handled inappropriately."

Emperor Ning Kang became even more angry and said: "Huh, what kind of punishment is excessive, I think he did a great job!

I know that these dandy boys in the capital spend their days doing nothing and causing trouble in the capital.

But all the wine bags and rice bags in the Army and Horses Division were bullies and not a single person who was loyal to the emperor and the country. This made the descendants of wealthy families in Xicheng even more lawless. Over time, I'm afraid that the reputation of our monarchs and ministers in the Wei Dynasty will be completely ruined by these unscrupulous disciples!

Otherwise, why do you think I transferred Jia Lian to the Military and Horse Division?

I just want to use his identity to kill this unhealthy trend in Beijing.

Hmph, if he goes to the border for a year and doesn't even dare to deal with a nobleman's younger brother, then I will really fire him from his post! "

Dai Quan smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is wise. ”

He has a very good relationship with the Jia family, but just because of the good relationship, he cannot always say good things about everything. Sometimes, if you say good things in reverse, the effect is better.
< br /> Sure enough, Emperor Ning Kang ordered the Jin Yiwei to continue to pay attention to the Xicheng Army and Horses Department. If there was anything important, report it immediately. Then he turned back and smiled at Dai Quan: "It seems that I really didn't make a mistake this time, let this kind of impulsive He is a gangster who goes to suppress those dandy kids. That’s right. What is this called, fighting fire with fire...

I just don’t know whether he is the first motivator of the new official’s appointment, or whether he is really serving the country and the king. Share worries. "

Dai Quan smiled. He knew that Emperor Ning Kang must have thought that Jia Lian was also a standard dandy.

But he still advised: "Although Commander Jia Although he loved his country and his people, Zhou Sheng was Empress Zhou's younger brother after all. It was a matter of honor for the empress, so it was not appropriate to be locked up in the Military and Horse Department all the time. "

Emperor Ning Kang thought about it and felt that it was right.

But asking Jia Lian to release people like this would damage Jia Lian's prestige. When a new official takes office, this is The most important thing.

Secondly, I am afraid that Jia Lian will also think that he is a mediocre king who does not know right from wrong. In the future, he will not be so understanding of the king's heart.

So he approached Dai Quan and gave a few instructions in a low voice.

After Dai Quan heard this, he flattered him repeatedly: "The emperor's move is really wise..."

Ning Emperor Kangxi agreed on the matter without commenting, and Emperor Ningkang said again: "As for the new position of Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp, after the Ministry of War discussed it, the candidate proposed is Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding... What do you think? ”

After Prince Teng left the capital, he still held the position of business governor.

But now that the war at the border was stable, the emperor intended to let Prince Teng stay at the border to improve military discipline. This The Jiedu envoy in Beijing cannot be empty for a long time.Hanging, you have to choose another talent.

It’s just a military attache position, not as good as a civilian official.

In particular, many important military positions are hereditary...

This is also a recognition, encouragement and reward for meritorious ministers.

Although the power of running the Jiedushi, which is related to the safety of the capital, cannot be hereditary, its appointment is very particular. This emphasis only applies within the Ministry of War. Others, even the emperor, must follow the rules if they want to win people's hearts.

Since Taizu, this position has always been controlled by the Jia family...

Rumor has it that the second Duke Rongning of the Jia family could actually be crowned king based on his merits.

But one sect with two kings is so shocking that even Taizu’s mind is hard to make this decision.

At this time, Princess Ning Rong wrote a letter rejecting the court's proposal to make her king.

Taizu was moved by Duke Ning Rong's loyalty to the emperor and the country. In the end, Taizu favored the Jia family. Therefore, the imperial palace where the two Jia family palaces are connected, covering an area not much smaller than the imperial palace, came from this.

Even after the death of Ning Guogong, Taizu ordered Ning Gong's son Jia Daihua, who had not made much achievements in terms of talent, to take the position of Jiedu Envoy in the Beijing Camp.

It can be said that the post of Jingying Jiedushi was Taizu's special reward for the Jia family.

It was not until Jia Daihua died that the Jia family had no successor in the army. The emperor at that time, the Supreme Emperor at this time, had to consider choosing another good minister.

But even the Supreme Emperor ultimately chose Wang Ziteng, who was from the same four major families in the old capital as the Jia family, to serve as the military envoy of the Beijing camp.

Now that dynasties have changed, the previous "hidden rules" may not apply. After all, the real power of this second-rank military position is too important. The emperor cannot rest assured if he does not leave it in the hands of someone he trusts.

Dai Quan knew that Emperor Ning Kang had already found a suitable candidate for the military governor of Beijing. He transferred Wang Ziteng out of the capital as a first move to replace him.

Unexpectedly, the Ministry of War did not know whether it was really incapable of understanding the emperor's heart, or whether it was knowing the emperor's heart but still adhering to the principle. It was surprising that it did not nominate the emperor's favorite candidate, but also included the historians of the four major families. Pushed out.

Dai Quan, who was secretly thinking about these relationships, knew that this was a big deal and did not dare to speak casually.

After careful consideration for a long time, he said tentatively: "Going back to the emperor, this young prince of the historian also fought on the battlefield and was a man who has repeatedly made military exploits. Presumably the Ministry of War is also composed of This will make historyDing recommended it.

Moreover, the generals in the army are very repulsive and value their seniority. Shi Ding has a lot of connections with Jia Daihua, Wang Ziteng and others who were the former governors of the Beijing Camp. He is indeed the most suitable candidate to take over the leadership of Beijing Camp. "

Emperor Ning Kang glanced at Dai Quan and knew exactly what he wanted to say.

That is to say, the army has its own rules.

Since the establishment of this Jingying Jiedushi, through Ningguo Gong Jia Yan, Jia Daihua, Wang Ziteng and others, he has been lingering within the four major families. To put it bluntly, he is the existing member of the four major families. Benefits!

If you want to move, you can, but there must be a proper reason, just like transferring Wang Ziteng from the capital. If the reason is reasonable, the people below will be convinced.

Therefore, Emperor Ning Kang said with some disappointment: "Is it possible that such an important position must be in the hands of these founding sects for generations to come? Then..."

What if one day they are no longer loyal, or not loyal enough?

Emperor Ning Kang has long disliked this unspoken rule. He wanted to break.

Perhaps, the people in the Ministry of War could also see his thoughts, so the person they introduced was Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding!

This person was his father. When he was in power, he was a person who was ennobled and used in important positions.

If he didn’t use it without sufficient reason, others would probably suspect whether he had intentionally argued with the Emperor...
< br />This is where Emperor Ningkang was troubled. As an emperor, he could not do as he pleased. Not only could he not do as he pleased, but even when arranging a candidate for an important position, he had to consider many interests!

Although Dai Quan was friends with the Jia family, he knew better that his status was given by Emperor Ning Kang.

Seeing Emperor Ning Kang’s distress, he immediately thought of an idea.

"Your Majesty, the reason why the Ministry of War is unwilling to choose candidates outside the four major families is actually because those old guys, for the sake of Second Duke Ning Rong, finally supported the Jia family.

After all, the four families of Jia Shi and Wang Xue, which were extremely prosperous in the Taizu dynasty, now have few capable talents.

It would be a bit too unkind if they even gave up this position.

In my opinion, the Ministry of War does not necessarily have to oppose the emperor. It only needs the emperor to follow the example of Taizu's period and give the Jia family some extra compensation. As long as this compensation can make the descendants of Second Duke Ning Rong look less miserable, maybe they will be willing to act according to His Majesty's wishes..."

Emperor Ning Kang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

　YesYeah, there is a limit to how those old guys can care about their old friendships. In a few years, when those people die, these memories of the founding of the country will slowly be forgotten. Therefore, he, the emperor, is probably the last emperor to be affected.

Now that the Supreme Emperor is still here, there is really no need to get into a fight with these prestigious veterans.

"According to you, how can I make compensation?"

Emperor Ning Kang still felt a little embarrassed. This compensation was too light, and those old guys didn't buy it.

It was too heavy, and he felt it was inappropriate. At this time, there was only one Jia Zheng and one Jia Lian in the Jia family, who could barely see through.

But one is pedantic and the other is too young, both of whom cannot be rewarded highly.

As an emperor, Emperor Ningkang knew deeply that national weapons must not be used indiscriminately!

Since Dai Quan dares to give advice, he must be prepared.

He reminded with a smile: "I remember that there was a female official beside the old concubine. She was the legitimate daughter of the second master of the Jia family. She seemed to have been in the palace for some years. I heard that the concubine was deeply impressed by her. Like..."

Emperor Ning Kang began to think.

The only person who can make Dai Quan call the old concubine directly is his biological mother, the concubine.

He didn’t notice that there was a daughter from the Jia family beside his mother. He doesn't pay much attention to this.

But as the emperor, he still understood Dai Quan’s meaning immediately, so he smiled and said: “Well, this year happens to be the year of selection, so I will give them this compensation!< br />
If that’s the case, and those old guys are still unwilling to give in, don’t blame me for being ruthless, huh.”

Emperor Ning Kang really doesn’t want to deal with this matter anymore. Those old fogies are in the ring.
