Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

At the first court meeting after the Shangyuan Festival, Yushi Jia Yucun impeached the prince of the state, with ulterior motives, and fought against Rong Guohou, who returned the money owed to the court, solved the court's predicament, and held the imperial edict.On the first crime: despising the imperial decree and the court; the second crime: threatening other courtiers to help the saint and the court to jointly relieve disasters.The sons of Shan Guogong have bathed in the grace of the king for generations. When the court encountered difficulties, it was disloyal and unrighteous to commit such reckless offenses.

After Jia Yucun was impeached, several censors came out to support Jia Yucun, and even uncovered illegal things such as bullying men and women, occupying people's land, etc. in Shanguo Gongfu.

No nobleman has done such a thing.It's just that I don't mention it on weekdays. Any noble family that is mentioned can be regarded as confiscated, exiled, or even beheaded according to the law of the country.

The sage called the son of Shan Guogong to come out, and let him defend himself first.

The prince of Shan Guogong fell to his knees when he came out of the queue. Too many people saw what happened that day, so he simply admitted, "Saint, I acted recklessly against Rong Guohou. Please punish the saint."

The sage looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, "What Niu Shilang did has never happened in a century. After discussion by the Ministry of Officials, he submitted a punishment plan and handed it over to the cabinet for discussion. The Ministry of Punishment assisted Dali Temple to jointly find out whether the illegal things of the Duke of the State were true. If it is true, it will be dealt with according to the law."

Only at this time did the son of Shan Guogong know what price he had to pay for his recklessness, maybe he would seize the title!Immediately remorse.There are many people who can't afford it, why do I have to make such a head.

Although the Ministry of Punishment did not firmly stand on the current side, the officials from the Ministry of Punishment who passed the imperial examination and the nobles who came from Enyin all had the idea of ​​overthrowing the Niu family.As a result, some people who are good with the Niu family came to intercede, but they were all blocked by the Ministry of Justice.The reason is very aboveboard, "The Niu family bullied men and women, robbed people's land and houses, and someone has sued the government, and I have known that the government will solve these things, but the government has ignored it. Now it is Do you want me to bully you?"

In three days, the Yamen of Yingtianfu sorted out the affairs of the defendants in Shanguogong's mansion over the years, reported them to the Ministry of Punishment, and made a note on the back of the document. All the incidents and persons involved in the case were reviewed once.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice summoned the left and right ministers, the officials of the Yingtianfu Yamen, and invited the colleagues of the Dali Temple to compare the illegal matters that they found involving the Shanguo Gongfu. In the end, only two yamen were selected for verification. If it is correct, according to the criminal law, attach the punishment at the end of the document and submit it to Jinshang.

After the documents of the Ministry of Punishment were sent to the desk today, the Ministry of Officials also sent the punishment for Niu Shizi, despising the court, obstructing disaster relief, suggesting deprivation of the title of the son, and dismissing the minister of the Ministry of War.

In the Taishang's Palace of Mercy, Concubine Niu knelt in front of the Taishang's knees, put her hands on the Taishang's thighs, raised her face, frowned slightly, blinked her beautiful eyes, and tears rolled down her snow-white cheeks. His voice was choked with sadness, and he begged the Supreme Emperor earnestly, "Your Majesty, the Niu family will follow you loyally. You are still here. It is just such a trivial matter as the generals gesticulate. If you want to be rectified like this, how can you be put in the same place?" In the eyes."

Concubine Niu said she was a concubine, and she was not very old, only in her 30s.Although it does not have the beautiful appearance of a young girl when she first entered the palace, she is well maintained, and she does not have the taste of a mature woman.She was able to win the concubine position when Concubine Zhen was favored by Concubine Zhen and she had no children, and she did not offend Concubine Zhen, what a smart person she was.

Concubine Niu avoided the censor's accusation, emphasizing that her brother's actions were just reckless.

"My lord, you know the situation of the Niu family. If you want the Niu family to pay off the debt immediately, even if you sell the Niu family, you won't be able to do so. Those censors are using this matter to attack you, and they want to eliminate your decision-making power in the Ministry of War. , Get rid of the veterans who are still loyal to you."

It has to be said that the last two words of Concubine Niu moved the Supreme Emperor.Is your son going to seize military power?

"I know, love concubine, get up. I won't sell your natal family." The empress has passed her [-]th birthday, and stretched out her hands already covered with age spots, holding a pair of catkins of Concubine Niu, pulling the cow. Toffee got up.

The Empress saw his own hands, against the softness of the woman in front of him, it made the beauty of this young concubine who had been with him for more than twenty years even more beautiful.Concubine Niu has been gentle and considerate, quiet and docile since she entered the palace. She has always gotten along very well with the other women in the palace, and it is very in line with her own wishes. If I can't protect her natal family, I will be ashamed of her 20 years of service.

The Taishang sent a small eunuch to call today to the Palace of Mercy.Straight to the point, he said, "What do you think about the Niu family's affairs?"

Today, I presented the documents from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple and the thick documents involved in the case to the Supreme Master, "Father, my son is too ashamed to face the people after reading the documents from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple. The people of the Emperor Father are conscientious and conscientious. Obeying the law, paying taxes, and being robbed of his land and his wife and daughters, this son-in-law can't protect the people of the emperor. The son-in-law is ashamed."

The Taishang was so choked by today's words that he couldn't even say what he wanted to say.Anxiously looking through the notebooks and case files, I found that not only from the past two years, but more from when I was in office.

"You want to take the title of the Niu family?"

"Father, although the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the people. But if you want to do this, those who follow the Tai/ancestor to fight the world, there will be no honorable ones. Those Qingliu who came up from the imperial examination, the change of dynasty has no effect on them, they still serve as officials through the imperial examination. In the end, the nobles are attached to our royal family, share weal and woe with us, and benefit as a whole. So how to deal with this matter is up to the emperor."

The majesty nodded after hearing this, as long as the son understands the mystery inside.

"Those who caused troubles in the Niu family should be dealt with. As for the direct branch of the father and son of Shan Guogong, I don't think there is anything wrong. Why don't you reprimand and let his father and son restrain their children. How about it?"

"Father is wise, so that you will not lose your honor and loyalty to the royal family."

"The boy who caused trouble in the Niu family, what are you going to do?"

"Also listen to the father."

I am so relieved.After pondering for a while, he said: "It's not good if the boy who caused trouble in the Niu family is not punished, but depriving him of his position as a son is a bit more serious, so why not..."

Jin Shang continued: "I will be demoted to be a doctor first, how about my father?"

"Who do you prefer to take over as the Minister of the Ministry of War?" Taishang was alert and immediately became strict.

"Father, who is suitable? I listen to my father." As long as one can be moved, the Ministry of War will no longer be a solid piece of iron.

Hearing this, the Supreme Master's face relaxed a little, but his heart was very firm, as long as his son didn't want to seize military power, it would be fine.

"The Minister of the Ministry of War is naturally better to choose someone from the nobles. Those Qingliu know how to lead troops. What do you think of Jia Daishan's son? Enhou was also good at both civil and military skills when he was young. This time I was able to take the initiative to repay 80 yuan, which solved the embarrassment of the court. I heard people say that he said in the Ministry of War that repaying the silver was a "father's will". Lord Rong, alas, Jia Daishan rescued him several times. If he is alive now, I can also have one more talking old man."

"Then, according to the emperor's wishes, Jia will be pardoned." Today, his eyebrows and eyes are flat, without any waves.

Tai Shang nodded, "That's it." He waved his hand to let Jin go away.

Imam respectfully saluted the magistrate, signaled to the eunuch who followed to get the notebooks and documents brought over, and then slowly backed up to the door before turning around and leaving.

After leaving the Mercy Palace, Imakami's long-stretched heart slowly relaxed.It's done!He wanted to raise his head to the sky and yell, but he could only grit his teeth, and went back to the inner study calmly, summoned the cabinet, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Officials and other officials, and announced the resolution of the Supreme Supreme.

Shan Guogong's mansion ushered in the punishment. The clansman and concubine involved in the incident were all detained by Dali Temple and Yingtian Mansion. Those who deserved to be beaten were beaten, those who deserved to be punished were punished, and those who deserved to be exiled were exiled.Niu Shilang regretted and was frustrated, his recklessness brought disaster to the family, and he was very happy to hear that he was demoted to be a doctor and not deprived of his position as the son.Under the agitation, the imperial decree reprimanded and disciplined the children of the clan, and he didn't feel embarrassed.

The Shanguo Mansion, which has survived the crisis of seizing the title, is extremely careful with Concubine Niu's aunt.Concubine Niu was secretly happy when she heard about the outcome of this incident in the palace. As long as her aunt can have a good old age, it is better to serve a saint by herself than to marry a businessman - in disguise, she was sold for money.

The son of Shan Guogong got the advice of a wise man, no matter how much he hated in his heart, he still brought a gift to the Rongguo Mansion to plead guilty.

Jia Amnesty looked at the sincere Niu Shizi, took his arm and pulled him up.

"This matter, for us vulgar people, just beat it and forget it. It's those censors who have nothing to do. Since you are here, I have good wine here. Let's get drunk together and let it go. Okay? "

Jia Amnesty asked someone to bring up a jar of fine wine that Lin Hai had brought over years ago, "This wine is good, I promise you, Lao Jia, that you won't want any other wine after drinking it."

Jia Amnesty poured half a bowl for Niu Shizi first, then poured half a bowl for himself, picked up the wine bowl and said, "Come on, let's do it."

Niu Shizi came here just to make a show, in this situation he could only pick up the wine bowl, look at the clear color of the wine, smell the mellow taste, touch the bowl with Jia She, and drink it with his head up.

"Good wine, good wine."

"Of course it's good wine. I got four jars in total, and this is the second jar. If you like it, you can take back half of the rest."

Half, how generous!But half of it is only a jar.Niu Shizi slandered in his stomach, but he still said in a social manner: "Thank you so much, Lord Hou. I prefer the fine wine of Lord Hou. Is there any one for sale in Beijing?"

"No. My relatives brewed some privately and sent it as a New Year's gift."

"It's a pity. If this wine is on the market, I'm afraid it will run out of other wines and turn them into vinegar."

"Good idea. Gai Minger, I'll use your words to persuade him to make more money and make a fortune together."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Hou. There is a restaurant in my family that is causing trouble, which is Piaoxianglou on Qianmen Street. If Lord Hou can persuade the brewer to put the wine in Piaoxianglou, everything will be easy to talk about."

"Success. I will definitely persuade you."

"Then I can wait for Lord Hou to make a fortune with this fine wine and still owe money."

"Haha, hahaha." Jia Amnesty laughed. "Don't say you worry about paying back the money, it's me. Look at my Rongguo Mansion, how can it still have the style of the past. The servants have laid off seven or eight out of ten, and the second child has also been separated. It can't be divided. , the second family has more people than me, they all eat and use mine, and the servants are still making troubles... I spend money and still can't afford it, and I have to take care of things. Hmph, they are beautiful."

Jia Amnesty filled Niu Shizi again, picked up the wine bowl himself, approached Niu Shizi and said, "Not only do I separate the family, but I also separate the two brothers into a separate family, and separate from those clansmen who only know how to play the autumn wind."

Niu Shizi's heart moved when he heard it, "Those people are willing to share?"

"Hey, those bastards, bullying men and women, they mentioned a bunch of evil things. No distinction? Yes, send them to Yingtian Mansion and Dali Temple for those crimes. It's just your house," Jia She slapped Jiu Hiccup, "Show off the hundreds of thousands of debts. All the clansmen have enjoyed the blessings of four or five generations. Let's help repay them according to their blood relationship. It has nothing to do with them. Hehe, hehe..."

Jia She slapped Niu Shizi unsteadily and almost fell off his chair, but he staggered to his feet and respectfully bowed to Jia She.

Niu Shizi and Jia She became close friends after a drink.He left Rongguo Mansion full of joy, and felt that it was not uncomfortable for Jia She to be the Minister of the Ministry of War and his immediate boss, but he was full of joy.
