Jia Yingchun of the Red Chamber

All the officials were stunned, so that the voice of thanking them fell apart.Only Wang Ziteng was full of spirit: "I would like to obey the Queen Mother's order, and the Queen Mother will live forever!

Wang Ziteng actually wanted to shout long live, the queen mother is so amiable.He just didn't know how to explain the huge debt owed by Prince Ying's family.The queen mother said a royal family matter and dragged him out of the mud pit.

However, Wang Ziteng didn't get complacent for a long time, and the foolish officials came to their senses. They stopped pursuing Prince Ying and stared at the princess mansion together: "Yes, it is only natural to pay back the debt, but why does the concubine's mansion owe 200 million silver coins?" You didn't pursue the matter, but ransacked the homes of those whose debts were less than 50 million people and sent them to jail? Wang Ziteng, you are popular and despised, you have no character, you are a treacherous villain!"

... "Prince Teng is a treacherous official, everyone can punish him!"

... "Wang Ziteng, thanks to your background, you are also a gentle scum, how can you be an official!"

... "Prince Teng, it is a disgrace to all officials to be in the same palace as you!"

…… "Prince Teng, you have suffered so much from the king's kindness, bullied your superiors and oppressed your subordinates, and you were a vain minister. You will die to die!"

One person scolded, and hundreds of people reconciled, watching Prince Teng, who fell into the well, hit his head with stones.It can be said that the crowd is excited, it seems that if Wang Ziteng is not eradicated, the country will not be the country, and the people will not be the people!

It is difficult to defeat four hands with both hands, Wang Ziteng is not Zhuge Liang, and it is difficult to defeat all officials with one mouth.The prince yelled loudly: "My lord, I have been wronged!"

All the ministers spat at him together: "Traitor, the evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied. There is more than one death to spare, so what wrongdoing is there!"

There is also Prince Teng's minion who is not convinced: "This is the Mingtang of the Son of Heaven, and all the officials are here to congratulate. Don't you only need to make false accusations and not allow others to call for injustice?"

"You moths of the country, what you say is for the country and the people, is actually just because Wang Zongxian's pursuit of national creditors touches your interests, so that you can no longer lie on the national treasury to eat, drink and have fun, so you set up a pretense to retaliate!"

The official censor's mouth is not easy to mess with. Although there are fewer people, he kneels and speaks sharply and touches his lips. It is reasonable to say: "Above the court, the emperor has not yet made a decision, so you all attack it together. Don't allow people to defend their grievances, is this trying to cover the sky with one hand and create a prison for injustice?"

………"but it is!"

... "Is the emperor in charge of this court, or are you people in charge?"

…… "Is this the imperial court or your family hall? Zongxian Wang is actually a servant of your family, even if you treat a deer as a horse and do whatever you want, you can only accept it without a word of defense?"

The officials were speechless.

Wang Ziteng shouted again: "My minister is wronged, my emperor's holy candle shines, I beg the saint to uphold justice for my minister!"

Then the emperor hummed: "You are allowed to defend yourself!"

Wang Ziteng said: "Someone mentioned the Fu family just now, but I didn't bypass it on purpose. In fact, it is not the Fu family who owes the debt, but the son-in-law. Before seeing the princess's consort, he couldn't figure out the way for a while, and he was afraid of delaying the important matter of the Holy Majesty's debt collection.

"The deadline for the first month of the holy month is approaching. The soldiers in the northern border seas are looking forward to day and night, only looking forward to the court's money, food and military equipment. The minister is very anxious, thinking, and can't give up all because of a certain obstacle, so he decides to go first. I have figured out the situation, and the family is not poor, so I abandoned the Fu family and went to another family first."

"Your Majesty clearly learned that my minister was ordered to collect debts not for personal grievances, but for the sake of punishing others. What I think about is to recover the debt owed by the treasury as soon as possible, so that I can mobilize my troops as soon as possible to beat the bandits and bandits. .

"Although this humble minister is insignificant, he is loyal to the country. He runs around day and night to recover the money he owes. He has no selfish intentions. The purpose of this humble minister is to ensure the integrity of the territory and to make the people live and work in peace and contentment. This humble minister has this heart and ambition. Yue, I implore you to observe it on your body!"

Wang Ziteng spoke in a dignified manner, and none of the officials dared to pick his reason. You said it was wrong to raid the house, don't you want the peace in the frontier?

Even Wang Ziteng's minions came forward to help, yes, you need to know the skills to do things, first easy and then difficult, do you understand?The one-month deadline has not yet come, so how do you know that the Unyielding Consort's House will ask for debts?As long as it can catch mice, do you care if I am a white cat or a black cat?

Even more tricky, he said: "You guys are just vegetarians. You spend your salary for nothing and don't do the facts. You only know how to play tricks and make trouble all day long. What else do you do besides digging money from the treasury to eat and drink?"

All the ministers were locked in the throat by the curse that who dares to object to the debt collection will go to the northern border to die. It turned out that the prince Teng Shude had spoken, and then he slapped him off, and the debt collection matter was over. He and the Empress Dowager also got in the way. The rest of Lai Shangrong's matter was originally used to make up the numbers. Once the Rongguo Mansion was convicted of disrespect and ransacked the family and exterminated the family, Lai Shangrong's matter just stepped on one foot. Dare to mention it again.

But they didn't mention it, but Wang Ziteng took the initiative to say: "My minister has written a memorial to the sage, and my minister also has a memorial to Lai Shangrong."

The emperor waved his hand: "Quick!"

Wang Ziteng said: "Lai Shangrong is just the son of the Rong family. When he landed, the old lady of the Rong family read that he had been a slave of the Lai family for three generations, and allowed him to leave his citizenship. He lived and studied with his master since he was a child. The money he raised was extremely precious. I am 20 years old now, I have studied and studied, and I have never managed any livelihood. Thinking that my salary is only 200 taels a year as a first-rank official. He can’t carry his hands on his shoulders and can’t carry the young master Yangzi. Where did the 40 fortune come from? The Lai family is just The Rong family gave birth to sons, and their bodies belonged to the master's family. Where did they come from private property?

"Originally, the Rong Mansion copied the Lai family, but rewarded Lai's elders, Nanny Lai, and allowed her to take all the savings in her house home to live. The Lai family was grateful and moved to the countryside for the elderly. But now suddenly The complaint must have been instigated by someone, and the official thought that this must be an attempt to confuse the audition and deliberately smear the official, in order to bring the official down, make the officials of the Ministry of Punishment, the Household Department, and the Third Department of Supervision fearful, and make the debt collectors In order to cover up their original intention of encroaching on the people's fat and people's anointing, these people did not hesitate to frame the officials of the imperial court, and they did not hesitate to frame the court officials.

My ministers are willing to ask the Holy One to thoroughly investigate the matter of Lai Shangrong, find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and punish them severely, so as to rectify the laws of the country, to promote the majesty of the monarch, to reassure the hearts of the people, and to encourage loyal ministers and generals to love the country and the people, Your Majesty! "

Wang Ziteng sang and composed very well. At the end, his voice choked up and he fell to the ground in great grief.

Those who babbled and argued in vain and tried to repudiate the civil and military officials were speechless. For a while, their necks were stalked and their eyes turned white, but they couldn't make a sound.

The emperor was moved when he heard this: "Wang Aiqing, I know your loyalty. Some people just like not to do practical things and turn to criticize. It's time to teach them a lesson. Where is Jing Zhaoyin?"

Jing Zhaoyin was also bewitched today, and waited outside, originally someone bribed him to deal with the cruel official Wang Ziteng, but unexpectedly the situation turned upside down when things came to an end.

He was thinking about whether the soles of his feet were oily, but he thought, there is nothing wrong with him here, but a few cronies lost some money and urged him to step on the prince to vent his anger.

Originally, Jia Yucun recovered after receiving the favor of the Rong Mansion, and considered himself a member of Wang Ziteng's party, but unexpectedly, the big house of the Rong Mansion has recently become popular, and the limelight has changed. When the second master Lian saw him, he ignored him and even went with Wang Ziteng Yue. Can't wait to see myself get up.Several times I asked to see the Elder Master and the Second Master of the Rong Mansion, but Jia Lian pushed him away, either because the Elder Master went out to meet friends, or the Second Master occasionally felt unwell.

In fact, the second master, Jia Zheng, didn't feel unwell occasionally, but felt uncomfortable, hiding in his study to read poems and books, looking for chapters and excerpts.

How could a smart person in Jia Yucun not understand the truth? He didn't need to think about it to know that Rongguo Mansion didn't want to see him anymore.

Now the elder is enshrined by Sister Feng as long as he goes to heaven. A group of beautiful men, such as Qiu Tong, are all enshrined in the palace in the spring and enshrined as aunts.It was Yingchun who passed the message to Sister Feng. It's better for the master to drink and be a concubine than to go outside to stir up trouble.Clothes for the four seasons, two taels of silver per month are all in charge, and you have a lot of girl brand underwear on the Qinhuai River in Yanfang Building.And detain the master at home, lest he go out and cause trouble.

Therefore, Sister Feng specially picked some children who are willing to be concubines and have children. They eat, drink, dress, and dress up beautifully.Jia Amnesty drank spirit wine every day and had no concubine in his arms. Except for the emperor shouting loudly, he was in a cloud of mist all day, and he was happy like a fairy. with.

In addition, Sister Jia Lian and Feng sent antique writing utensils every now and then.As for foreign visitors, they are all handed over to Jia Lian, who only needs to drink, eat meat and play with concubines.

In this way, Jia Yucun, a rebel, was excluded from the Rongguo Mansion camp under the Yingchun arrangement.

Yingchun arranged this way, as long as it was to prevent Jia Yucun, a cruel official, from causing trouble, and adding a stone nerd lawsuit to Rongguo Mansion.

Therefore, seeing that the Rong Mansion seemed unreliable, Jia Yucun had no choice but to turn around and seek another backer. Now, he was wooed by those stubborn old men in Kyoto, who wanted to use Wang Ziteng as a vote of honor.

The old god here is waiting for him, maybe things will turn around again in a while!

I was thinking wildly, when I suddenly heard the condition announced: "There is a decree from the Holy Spirit, Xuan Jingzhao Yin will see you!"

Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed: "Minister Jing Zhaoyin Jia Yucun, kowtow to the Holy Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The emperor said: "I heard that you have accepted Lai Shangrong's certificate?"

Jia Yucun has been an official for many years, so he naturally knew that the Lai family's lawsuit was a joke, so he hurriedly said: "Qizou Shengshang, I didn't know it before, so after receiving the pleadings, I found out the truth and dismissed Lai Shangrong."

The emperor snorted: "You understand. I am ordering you to quickly arrest Lai Shangrong, interrogate him clearly, and see who instigated him to list crimes and frame Zhongliang!"

Jia Yucun was busy kowtowing: "The humble minister leads the decree, and I will definitely investigate and find out!"

Two colleagues, Prince Jia She and Wang Teng, saw Jia Yucun. Both of them were bullies. Except for the emperor, they were rarely bullied. I take a chance to deal with you!

Wang Ziteng won this round. Although he offended many dignitaries, except for Wang Fu, who wanted to overthrow Wang Ziteng and replace him with Yushi Zhongcheng, the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were all rushing to curry favor with Wang Ziteng, Wang Ziteng Not only does this person have a sacred heart, but he is also righteous. At critical moments, he would rather betray his niece and son-in-law to keep his subordinates. Although this person is ruthless, he is willing to follow his boss.

Wang Fu was in bad luck. He was the one who exposed the debts of the Prince Ying's family and the Fu family's debts. He didn't move to Wang Ziteng all of a sudden, but he offended the Prince Ying and the princess.This is unlucky enough, and the most unlucky thing is that Wang Ziteng, a wicked ghost, fought back. The next day, Wang Ziteng went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to discuss the matter, and then assigned the day's task, saying: "Wang Yushi is a good one, although leaking The news almost caused serious consequences, but his motives are good, he has a heart of worrying about the country and the people, so we have to learn from it. Can it be too much work, the biggest difficulty for us to collect debts this time is the Prince of England and his son-in-law's mansion, where the Prince of England is. The Empress Dowager has taken over, we can't control it anymore, the Thirty Son-in-Law's Mansion wants us to come to collect debts by ourselves, I think this most difficult person should be entrusted to us, the procuratorate is the most concerned about the country and loves the people, Wang Yushi, I hope Wang Yushi will not make another mistake like Wang , Evacuation is easy."

Then, Wang Ziteng led the rest of the censors away without waiting for Wang Fu to close his stunned mouth: "Oh, I didn't delay a day yesterday, today let's hurry up and make up for yesterday's work, otherwise, why don't you come back?" 2000 million in arrears, our family and children are going to go to northern Xinjiang to enjoy the wind and watch the snow. We don’t care, we are from the army, and have rough skin and thick skin, but you two Jinshi who are born in Jinxiu can’t stand it, old people and children I can't stand it either!"

With this said, everyone was united and went with great enthusiasm.If you don't copy someone else's house, you have to kill the whole family yourself, let's kill someone else!

Wang Ziteng's debt recovery these days is already a frightening figure. As long as he is not a relative of the emperor, and can move a person with a particularly tough waist like the Empress Dowager, everyone will be honest and cooperate actively, otherwise they will be punished by others. Close the door and close the door, lose face, and still have to return the money, so it's better to leave it to the face.

Wang Ziteng's errand here went smoothly for a month and a half, but Wang Fu didn't get a tael of silver. Instead, he was put on a sack and beaten half to death in the street. Yes, he still doesn't know who was beaten.Full of grievances and nowhere to complain.

Even though his brother Wang Quan was the leader of Jin Yiwei, and he launched an investigation on the Rongguo Mansion and Wang Ziteng, he did not find any trace of the murderer.

Wang Quan came back to suspect that the Prince Ying was behind the concubine's mansion, but he didn't dare come to the door to collect evidence and question him. An emperor's younger brother, an emperor's sister and in-laws, unless he didn't want to be in the officialdom, he had no choice but to admit it.

However, after this battle, the brothers Wang Quan and Wang Fu had become enemies with Prince Teng of the Rongguo Mansion and the Prince Consort of Ying's Mansion.

However, Wang Ziteng is protected by the Holy Spirit, he is not afraid, and he distributes the most difficult and tricky bone in the debt to Wang Fu. Didn't you say that the General Constitution bends the law for personal gain, so let me give you a chance to serve the country.

When Wang Ziteng was drinking with the adults from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Finance, the three departments of the Ministry of Justice went all the way to dig out the money for the Holy Majesty, but the emperor was full of happy events, and it was August 24th.

The emperor finally finished his work and thought of his wife in the harem.Little did he know that the harem had great news waiting for him to go back and share it. Concubine Li and Cairen Zhou were pregnant at the same time.

Yuan Chun and the empress knew this news well, the empress was racking her brains to get rid of these evil breeds, but it was Concubine Li who was the master of the palace, Zhou Cairen was attached to Concubine Shu, and the empress could not intervene at all.The empress originally wanted to wait for the two to come to pay their respects and murder them, but unexpectedly, the empress dowager rushed to inform the empress empress, and ordered the empress empress to personally mention concubine Li and Zhou Cairen to have a baby, and said: "The emperor's heirs are weak, she The two babies will be handed over to the queen to take care of, if there is a mistake, I will ask the queen first without asking the other!"

This is because the Empress Empress had a criminal record when she was hiding in the mansion. Regardless of the maids, dowry maids, and palace daughters who are not famous, it is said that Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu have had miscarriages one after another, and Concubine Ning is even more poisoned. Not only has he lost his fertility, but the second prince has also become a sick bun. He is beautiful in three days and healthy in two days. He takes medicine every day, and he has almost become a medicine man.People enter the door, and the smell of medicine arrives first.

The empress hated her bitterly, but she had to hold back her anger and smiled and agreed: "The queen mother is at ease, the daughter-in-law will definitely take care of her properly."

When I returned to Kunning Palace, Yuan Chun broke out: "I was sentenced to death in the cold palace, what's the matter with you, the medicine has been stopped for half a year, why is there no news at all? You can't make it, can you tell me?" I, I have already made plans, Concubine Li is not Concubine Shu Hui, once she gives birth to a son, we all wait to make room for her and move to live in the cold palace!"

Jia Yuanchun felt resentful in his heart, if the empress hadn't forced him to accept favors and take medicine many times, how could his body be as ruined as it is now.But he was bitter and couldn't say anything, so he could only bow his head and say: "The body of the concubine has recovered, but this heir also needs to pay attention to fate."

The empress laughed when she heard the words: "Since your body has recovered, you should prepare well. The previous affairs were in full swing, but the situation was favorable to the emperor. This time, thanks to Zhaoyi's uncle, Prince Teng, who mediated for the emperor, once the emperor is free , you must go to Chengqian Palace first, and I will speak for you, and you must ask the emperor to turn over your sign first, you must be more careful, and then the emperor will not be snatched away by those foxes."

Yuan Chunfu smiled: "More empresses."

When Yuanchun entered the Kunning Palace, the empress frowned: "Mo'er, why do I see Jia Zhaoyi's skin is more and more radiant than snow?"

While holding the empress' shoulders, Zhu Mo'er smiled and said, "Jia Zhaoyi has been recuperating for three months, and there should be some changes."

The queen wiped her cheeks: "Bengong is only five years older than Zhaoyi, why does Bengong seem to be more than ten years behind her?"

Zhu Mo'er hurriedly comforted: "Your Majesty, you just love to worry. You are so busy all day like a spinning top that you can't rest for a moment. How about Jia Zhaoyi? Since she was entrusted, she has been pampered and pampered every day, eating, drinking and playing. If you can relax, Madam, Talking about March, just talking about An Jing’s rest for a day, I’m afraid this harem Fendai will be overshadowed.”

The queen had a special look that day, otherwise the queen would not have chosen her to serve the emperor, but it was for her to harmonize with the emperor. If she gave birth to a prince, the Xu family could continue to prosper for another hundred years. The clinker queen turned out to be a natural The cold palace physique was found to be difficult to cure, and the Xu family no longer had a daughter of the right age to enter the palace. The mother, the empress dowager, secretly ordered the queen to find another daughter of the Xu family to enter the palace, even if it was a side branch.

However, none of the daughters of the Xu family were good enough. When Xu Yuyan grew up, she was the most suitable candidate, but an accident happened and she was only given to the king of Beijing County. The queen reached an agreement with Yuan Chun. Rhododendron borrows mother.

Afterwards, Yuanchun was stopped from Bizitang, but there was no news after three months. Yuanchun realized that there was something wrong with his body. It happened that the empress promised to marry Yingchun to be robbed by the concubine of Xu's second wife. Promise to Yuan Chun that once she becomes pregnant, she will be promoted to the concubine immediately.

However, Yuan Chun, who had been taking medicine for a long time, thought it would be difficult to conceive, so she proposed to let Yingchun enter the palace. Suddenly exerting force, the emperor learned that there was another Jia Yingchun in Rongfu, and she was already a famous show girl. It was Jia Yingchun, the daughter of Jia She, the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion, whom the empress and Jia Yuanchun had mentioned to the emperor.

After Jia Amnesty's meritorious deeds, a second-rank official, Jia Daishan contributed to the community, and met the Supreme Emperor with kindness, even if he was a concubine, he should be canonized as a second-rank concubine through a serious draft.Therefore, the emperor made Jia Yingchun's original concubine a concubine, and gave Jia Yingchun a bridal sedan chair to enter the palace with dignity.

However, on the day Jia Yingchun entered the palace, the emperor was busy with state affairs, so he couldn't remember the celestial beauties.

Turning around, he said that the emperor entered the harem, first went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to worship the Supreme Emperor, and then went to Ningshou Palace to visit the Empress Dowager.It was here for a hundred years that Li concubine Zhou Cairen was pregnant.The Empress Dowager suggested: "The harem has not heard the sound of babies crying for three years. Concubine Li Zhou Cairen made a good start. It should be credited as a great achievement, and the emperor should award it!"

The emperor was also very happy. It had been many years since the third prince landed, and there was not a drop of blood left under his feet. The emperor thought he was going to die, but two seeds of the clinker germinated at once. The queen mother is in charge!"

The empress dowager was very satisfied: "It's good if you have such words. It is reasonable for the empress to decide on the matter of the harem. After all, the empress is in charge of the harem now."

When the empress arrived, she knew that she was going to give birth to Concubine Li, and she immediately felt very awkward, she was not born yet, she was only two months pregnant, who knows if she will be born, is she already a son?

But he also knew that the harem hadn't heard a baby cry for many years, and if he didn't know him, he would provoke public anger.Yin said: "The matter of the mother's empress is very good. Concubine Li Zhou Cairen has contributed to the birth of the emperor's heirs and should be rewarded. It is better to be promoted to a higher level. Concubine Li canonize Concubine Li and Zhou Cairen canonize beauty."

The empress dowager raised her eyebrows when she heard the words. What she wanted was not a concubine.But he pondered for a while, reasoning, besides Concubine Shu, there are two virtuous concubines who can be conferred, but there is Yang Concubine in the front and the second virtuous concubine in the back.The Empress Dowager said that she doesn't look down on the position of virtuous virtue. What she wants to seek for Concubine Li is the noble concubine, the imperial concubine, and all the way to the top. The queen has no children. If the noble concubine has a son, she is the deputy queen. Can the prince go to another house?

However, right now, Concubine Li's womb is unpredictable. Although the queen mother is good at planning, she also knows to follow the trend. She is only pregnant at the moment.Everyone is staring at the position of noble concubine, without a proper opportunity and reason, it is very difficult for Concubine Li to occupy the position of noble concubine.

Since the queen's eyes are fixed on the position of imperial concubine, she doesn't care about the title of concubine Li, and it would be nice to be conferred the title of imperial concubine Li in the future.

The queen mother smiled: "The queen's idea is good, so let's give the order to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

The news that the emperor conferred Concubine Li as a concubine instantly spread to every corner of the harem. In order to cleanse the emperor and celebrate Concubine Li, the Empress Dowager hosted a banquet in Ningshou Palace. Apart from the emperor and empress, only Li Concubine attends.

This information made all the harem unable to sit still.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui each smashed a drop of porcelain when they heard the news.

Yuan Chun is also one of the many distraught.

Yuan Chun quickly passed the imperial doctor Xiao Wang into the palace, asked for his own pulse, and asked, "Is this palace easy to conceive at present?"

Doctor Xiao Wang said: "Five days later, it will be half a month, and three days before and after this is the right time. Right now is not the best time."

Yuan Chun's expression darkened suddenly.

However, the frustration in my heart was a little indifferent.Simply today is not a critical day, otherwise, she will be in the way of Concubine Li again.I can't help but feel ashamed of Concubine Li in my heart. In the past, that Feng was jealous in order to favor Longzi, and now she is still pregnant. Could it be that she still wants to occupy the emperor?

I really don't know what to say, and I have no shame!

Jia Yuanchun originally prepared a banquet, just to reunite with the emperor after a long absence, but unexpectedly the emperor was intercepted by the queen mother.All of a sudden, life was boring, and I was afraid of holding the piano and looking for the Spring Festival. The sisters had dinner with them.

Yunchun was just tired of it, the food on this table was a combination of nourishing yin and strengthening yang, and now it's a joke.

Yingchun didn't feel much, she would be happy if the emperor didn't come to eat.

Clinker, the sisters had just served the bowl when they heard the shrill and festive voice of the little eunuch outside: "The emperor is here!"

Yingchun was stretching out her chopsticks to catch the clouds, when she heard this she trembled and almost dropped her chopsticks.
