Chapter 106 Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Department

Since that day when Jia She rejected the request of the clan elders and refused to grant Jia Lian the title, some opinions gradually emerged in the two mansions.

The second master Lian is not liked by the eldest master. The son that the eldest master likes is actually the third master Cong. The eldest master wants to pass the title to the third master Cong, so he refuses to grant the title to the second master Lian. .

There is another saying that Jia She actually wanted to imitate the old Duke, and after passing the title to the second master Lian, he let the second master Lian live there all the time, and moved this side across the courtyard to the east. The family property here is left to Mr. Cong, who will inherit it...

There is another shocking saying, saying that Mr. Lian is not really filial, and all the filial appearances he makes are... It was just an act, and others couldn't see it, but the elder saw it, so he disliked him very much. He also said that Second Master Lian took advantage of the fact that the eldest man was seriously ill. In the name of taking care of him, he actually put the eldest man under house arrest, without giving him medicine and not allowing him to see outsiders!

The true and false remarks were spread by interested people and became very popular for a while.

Jia Lian had a contemptuous attitude towards this. If Jia She lived well, it might be useful to ruin his reputation. Now that Jia She is like this, I remember, is it too late?

Even so, Jia Lian still did not let it go.

Anyone who is caught making or spreading rumors will be interrogated alone and pinned down in front of the gate of the East Crossing Hospital, with dozens of big boards waiting on him.

On the one hand, he made three trips a day, constantly inviting the elders of the clan to come and see Jia She.

With such a two-pronged approach, these rumors gradually disappeared. They did not have any adverse impact on Jia Lian. On the contrary, they made it clear to those with a discerning eye that there were young people plotting evil behind the scenes.

As for who it is, under Jia Lian’s deliberate guidance, many people can guess it and can’t help but sneer at it.

"It's true that the toad wants to eat the swan meat, and only thinks about good things!"

Sister Feng was particularly angry and was about to go over and spit in the face, but Jia Lian stopped her.

With Wang Xifeng’s temper of scolding others and focusing on exposing their shortcomings, if she made a fuss in the past, she would definitely make others look disgraced, but it would be meaningless and she would also lose her own dignity.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year has passed and all the government offices in Beijing have begun to resume their daily work, a group of officers and soldiers drove up from Ningrong Street and stopped at the entrance of the East Crossing Courtyard.

When the gatekeepers of Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion saw it, they all came in to report the news.

Of course, Jia Lian, who was in the Dongkua courtyard, got the news immediately. He hurriedly put on his clothes and came out. He was very surprised when he saw the leader. He immediately came forward and worshiped: "I have seen my second uncle, but I don't know my second uncle." Why are you here?"

Zhang Song, a doctor in charge of the Ministry of War, seemed to have no idea about Jia She's condition. He looked at Jia Lian with a smile on his face and said with a smile: "It's a happy event for the ministry to have you. The master of the ministry knows the relationship between you and me, so he went out of his way to Leave it to me."

When Jia Lian heard this, he probably guessed what he was saying and bowed to wait.

Zhang Song reached out and took the document from the attendant’s hand. Behind Jia Lian, the disciples in the East Cross Courtyard thought it was an imperial edict and knelt down one after another.

Jia Lian had already been an official once, so he naturally understood that the emperor's canonization decree to the Ministry of War was to seal up the Ministry of War. What he could take out was the appointment document from the Ministry of War, so he could only be more respectful.

Zhang Song did not care about the reactions of others, and unfolded the text and read:

"Commission:

Jia Lian took over as the commander of the Xicheng Army and Horses Division The post must be completed within three days.

The tenth day of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Ningkang.”

Zhang Song only read the text on the first page and closed the document. , and handed it into Jia Lian's hands.

Jia Lian took it and opened it subconsciously to take a look.

In addition to what Zhang Song read, there is also a large piece of small print content at the back, which describes his identity, experience and basic appearance, and is stamped with the seal of the Ministry of War.

This is his confession, which is the main credential for him to take office.

Without taking a closer look, Jia Lian closed the door and bowed to Zhang Song: "Thank you, sir. I will serve you faithfully despite my humble position and live up to the high expectations of your majesty and the court!"

Zhang Song Nodding casually, he summoned two Ministry of War officials who were holding trays to come up and said: "Here are your official seals, official uniforms and waist badges. You must keep these things properly. If they are lost or damaged, you must It must be reported to the Ministry of War in time."

The last sentence is Zhang Song's special statement. He was worried that Jia Lian would not understand these details and principles when he first entered officialdom.

"I understand my humble position." Jia Lian nodded. After taking the things, seeing that Zhang Song had no other instructions, he invited Zhang Song in for tea.

Zhang Song glanced at the gloomy Dongkua Courtyard and shook his head: "The ministry still has official duties, so I won't delay here any longer. Remember, you must go to the Xicheng Bingma Si Yamen within the deadline. When you take office, you should familiarize yourself with military affairs as soon as possible."

Jia Lian agreed, knowing that the Zhang family still could not see Jia She, and did not force him to do so. He respectfully invited Zhang Song to get in the car and watched him leave.

"Congratulations to the second master, congratulations to the second master...!"

As soon as Zhang Song left, the servants and servants came forward one by one to kowtow in congratulations.

Some of them may not understand what kind of official title their second master has been given, but who cares, just pay him respects first and then talk about it.

Jia Lian waved the elves to wake up, and then did not move. He had already seen Jia Zhen in the east and Jia Zheng in the west leading people over.

After all, Jia Zhen ran faster. He stepped forward and smiled at Jia Lian: "Brother Lian, I heard that you have been promoted again. What did you get promoted this time? What rank?"

Jia Lian shook his head modestly, and when Jia Zheng also approached, he said: "Xicheng Military and Horse Division, this yamen junior is not very familiar with me, and I would like to ask Brother Zhen to clarify my doubts."

"Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Division? I am familiar with this, and I often deal with it. They are responsible for the security and traffic of all the streets and roads in Xicheng, such as arresting thieves, and at night. Fire prevention and curfew are also under their control.

By the way, there are also officers and soldiers at the city gate, who are also affiliated with the Wucheng Military and Horse Division. This is a government office with truly important responsibilities...
/>
How can we say that Brother Lian was sent here?"

As Jia Zhen spoke, he hesitated again and asked: "Is it the commander? Or the deputy? "?"

Jia Zhen is really familiar with the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, which often deals with wealthy nobles.

The Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities is divided into five yamen: the central, eastern, southern, western and northern yamen. They are not subordinate to each other, but they belong to the Ministry of War and are also under the control of the Beijing Camp. It is a typical dual jurisdiction.

In terms of status, it is a small yamen, but there are a lot of troubles, and it is a capital full of powerful people, so it is often the yamen that takes the blame.

When Jia Zhen heard that Jia Lian was transferred to a place like this, she was both a pity and happy...

But then she thought again, Jia Lian was originally a fifth-grade person, so there was no reason to go. After a trip to the border, I was demoted and hired. Therefore, in the entire Xicheng Army and Horse Department, it seems that only the positions of chief and deputy commander are suitable for Jia Lian. One is in the fourth rank, one is in the fourth rank, and the others are in the sixth rank and down...

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Not the deputy."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, congratulations to brother Lian. At such a young age, he has become the chief officer of a Yamen. It is gratifying and gratifying. Congratulations!"

Jia Zhen received an expected reply, but it was a bit sour.

This is the fourth grade, the fourth grade...

Brother, I am only the third grade, only the third grade!

This is because this kid has not yet conquered the title. After he conquers the title, he will really surpass me...

Jia Zheng next to him is even more excited. He had mixed feelings, but when he saw Jia Lian looking over, he still had a beard and pretended not to care: "Well, that's right, the Xicheng Army and Horses Division. Although the yamen is small, it has great responsibilities."It's important, and you are the chief official. You must do your best in the future to live up to His Majesty's love and the great trust of the court..."

What else can Jia Zheng say? Although civil and military affairs are not comparable, but , he only grew up in age four, he really only grew up in age four, and he is about to turn fifty!

And this kid will not turn twenty in two months...
< br />Jia Lian handed over to Jia Zheng and said, "Thank you for your encouragement, sir. My nephew is very busy. In the future, when he becomes an official, he will need your guidance and guidance." "

Because Jia Lian said it sincerely, Jia Zheng did not doubt that Jia Lian was mocking him, so he nodded slightly, hummed, and said: "This is good news, the old lady is still waiting there. , go in personally and report to his old man. "

After saying that, Jia Zheng looked at Jia Zhen and said, "Now that you are here, let's go in and see the great master. ”

　“Yes. ”

So the two middle-aged and elderly people with sore hearts walked in together, ready to take a good look at the living dead who had a better life than them, but at this time they could only take a few glances at the living dead lying on the bed. Trying to find some happiness to come back.

When they entered, Jia Lian restrained his modest expression.

The commander of the fourth rank, who happened to be under the command of Wang Ziteng, When he reached the highest level, he held the position of commander of an army, which happened to be a fourth-grade intermediate military attaché.

Of course, it was a temporary appointment on the battlefield, and it was not considered a positive number, so after he returned to Beijing , still only received the post of fifth-grade school captain.

The emperor then confirmed his position as commander. It can be seen that the emperor really valued him.

Since the emperor is so thoughtful, it seems that he has to behave better.

As for the chief official of the yamen who takes the blame... Hey, catch the thieves and set fires, uh, to prevent fires, but Not bad, and he has military power, right? Although not much.

So, Jia Lian looked at Dongkuoyuan and Rongguo Mansion again.

From today on, he doesn’t have to be so If you are timid, you can selectively use force to break the law!

In other words, if you don’t look back, you will strangle Jia She to death...

Most of the official positions and powers in the book have been changed. , do not correspond to specific official positions in official history, it is invalid.
