The saint finally got what he wanted.

Then those officials who were implicated and imprisoned, some were restored to their original posts, some were relegated, and some were removed from office.

How proud I was at the beginning, how disappointed I am now.

As for those officials who had followed Prince Zhongjing, Prince Zhongxiao, and Prince Zhongshun, most of them were beheaded or exiled, and their family members were also convicted, exiled or sold as official slaves.The remaining small shrimps were also dismissed from office and ransacked their homes.

Two princes and one county king were deprived of their titles and demoted to common people by the present because of treason.If it weren't for the clan's strong resistance and the advice of the officials, they would be willing to be famous today.

King Bei Jing also got along well with Zhong Jing and Zhong Shun on weekdays, so he was almost implicated.The king of Beijing cut off his tail to survive.But after this incident, after paying off all the owed money, he will be a king with a foreign surname with no hereditary name and no military power.

There are new people in the court, and today's government orders are more and more unimpeded.When Lin Min won the first case in the county examination in autumn, Imakami began to reward the meritorious officials of the Ministry of War.

Jia Amnesty was the first to bear the brunt, and the title of Duke Rong returned to the Jia family.

Jia Lian took Baoyu and others back to Jinling for the burial of Jia Mu and Jia Zheng.After he dealt with Jinling's ancestral tomb real estate and other matters, before he left Jinling, he heard that Wang Ziteng was being chased for money owed by the court.

Sister Feng's elder brother, Wang Ren, blocked Jia's old house.

"Brother-in-law, do you owe money? You have to help me."

Jia Lian felt very helpless.The 40 yuan owed by your Wang family, even if you pay tens of thousands a year, should have been paid off long ago.But for the sake of the three sons, alas.Let's talk about it first.

"Brother, you know, I am not the one who has the final say in my family. Besides, the court has been chasing the money owed for 12 years. Why doesn't the Wang family pay back anything?"

"Lian Er, it's not meaningful for you to say that. How can you say that you don't count? Your father is only your son, and 20 is not a big number. Why can't you get it?"

Jia Lian was lucky, "20 is not a big number, you can take it yourself. I don't have it."

Wang Ren saw that it would not work to be deceived by Jia Lian, so he put on a pitiful look.

"Lian Er, if you don't help me now, who else can help me?"

"Brother, don't your royal family have these 10 taels? How can you call it King of Jinling?"

"Oh, it's hard to explain. I don't know where my uncle got all the money. You know, my family has been controlled by my uncle all these years." Wang Ren's face was almost as sad as a bitter gourd.

"Give me your loyalty?"

"You, you, don't talk nonsense." Wang Ren immediately widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide.

"Brother, your second uncle gave the money to Zhongjing. Don't say you don't know anything about it. If the matter at the beginning of the year is successful, your Wang family will have the merits of being a dragon. Now that Zhongjing is defeated, you have been defeated. You have become a commoner, and you want my Jia family to pay back the money you owe? You are a saint, but you don’t know that the Wang family will give Zhongjing money.”

The more Jia Lian talked, the more angry he became. Now that the Jia family dares to exonerate the Wang family with money, the saint will definitely remember Jia's big lump.

Wang Ren didn't borrow money from Jia Lian, so he broke up with Jia Lian and left angrily.

Jia Lian was still on his way back to Beijing when he read from the mansion newspaper that Prince Teng was seized from office and given to death for misappropriating maritime military expenditures.

Baoyu was a little apprehensive, "Second Brother Lian, what crime did Second Uncle commit? Why did the sage order Uncle to die?"

"Conspiracy. Your second uncle has been with Prince Zhongjing for many years, and he wants to conspire against the dragon. He also had a part in what happened at the beginning of the year."

"Then sister Feng?"

"The crime is worse than a married woman. Your sister Feng is fine."

Hearing that Sister Feng was fine, Baoyu felt relieved.

"Second brother Lian, what about my second aunt and cousin?"

"Conspiracy, the least family members are exile. But your cousins ​​are married long ago. If their husbands don't participate, then it's fine."

Baoyu and Jialan were not very familiar with the rest of the Wang family, so they put the matter aside.

When Jia Lian came to Beijing, he asked Baoyu and others to be sent back to Jia's mansion.As soon as he entered the mansion, Lin Zhixiao came up to talk.

"Second Master is back. Second Mistress has been ill recently."

Jia Lian glanced at Lin Zhixiao, "Master, are you alright?"

"The master is fine. Since the master has returned to the title of Duke Rong, he walks with wind."

Jia Lian asked if there was nothing else going on in the mansion, and Jia Amnesty was not in the mansion either.When he went to Mrs. Xing's place, he nodded falsely, and then went back to the east courtyard to see Sister Feng.

Sister Feng has lost a little weight and is less energetic than usual, but she looks pretty good.

"Feng'er, are you okay?"

"Second Master," Sister Feng grabbed Jia Lian. "Second Lord, you are finally back. Do you know about my second uncle?"

"Understood. Don't worry, the crime is not as good as a married woman. You are fine."

"I know, my father told me. But my brother and sister-in-law?"

"Feng'er, beg father to exchange his title for it?"

Wang Xifeng shook his head, his expression darkened, the matter involved treason... How dare the father-in-law, how willing to change it?How can my brother and sister-in-law deserve the title of Duke Rong!Saints will not be accurate.If it weren't for the birth of three sons, it would be hard for me to say.In the capital city recently, quite a few young daughters-in-law were either divorced, or became monks, or died suddenly.

Wang Xifeng was silent for a long time, her natal family was convicted, and she was not even allowed to hang a sacrifice. ...

"Second Lord, there will be no one in the Wang family in the future."

"Feng'er, if it wasn't for the support of my father, which of the four children in our family would be left?!"

Wang Xifeng has cried a long time ago, thinking about Jia Lian's words, it really still makes sense.She grabbed her husband's skirt nervously.

"Second Master, from now on, you and Brother Wei, please, please, Mo Xiao wants to follow the dragon."

This year, people in Beijing have lived in fear.It's the twelfth lunar month, and the Niu's restaurant is gradually warming up.

Lin Hai took advantage of the last rest a year ago to visit Jia Amnesty at Rongguo Mansion.This year, Jia Amnesty's scenery was unmatched by anyone in the civil and military circles.After that, Jia Amnesty became more and more cautious, except for Cheng Yin, Lin Hai, and even Niu Shilang, he didn't come to the door.

Lin Hai came here to give Jia She the dividends from the Xue family this year, the dividends from the Niu's restaurant, and of course the huge sum of money he owed Jia She.

"Enhou, the business of the restaurant is not very good this year. The Xue family's business is also a little worse than last year. But Xue Jin said that since there is no need to give the prince a share, the two of us should get a lot this year."

Jia Amnesty took the account from Lin Hai and checked the amount carefully.

"Niu's restaurant, next year's business will be fine."

Lin Hai pushed the box in his hand to Jia She, "Count it up, everything I owe you is in it."

Jia Amnesty looked at the box, and counted the banknotes in Lin Hai's anticipation.Brothers, settle accounts clearly is Lin Hai's catchphrase.

"Ruhai, have you bought a lot of properties?"

"Yeah. This money is dead money if you keep it in your hands. It's meaningless."

Jia Amnesty nodded.He also took the opportunity to add some to his three grandsons.

"Ruhai, the sage is going to choose a grand tutor, do you know?"

Lin Hai nodded.

"Besides Cheng Yin, who else can be? Who can compete with Jane in the emperor's heart. Uncle, I have a heartfelt statement: the court situation is stable, although you are robbed of love, do you want to express your gratitude to the emperor and go home to observe your filial piety?" ?”

"Going home to observe filial piety?" Jia She's feelings for his mother, how can I put it, he was sad about his mother's death, and it was more than 20 years ago, and his mother was also a loving mother to him.Looking at the past 30 years, when I think of it, I hate and resent...

When he got back the title of Rong Guogong, and then thought about the situation his mother was in at the beginning, he was regretful and ashamed, but he was also relieved.

He was a bit reluctant to let go of military power and go home to observe his filial piety.After struggling for ten years, he finally gained military power and took control of the [-] troops in the Beijing camp.

Whoops.This is real power, it's not hot yet, okay?

"Enhou, don't become the person that the sage fears. You know better than me how big the sage's heart is. Don't be fooled by the authorities. He trusts you. It's meaningful for you to hold this military power. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be the root of disaster, and It's not a guarantee."

Otherwise, the next one to get rid of now is you.Lin Hai didn't say this in his heart.

Jia Amnesty understands that Lin Hai is doing it for his own good, and also knows that what Lin Hai said makes sense.But I really feel a little bit reluctant.

Jia Amnesty's face was serious, and he was silent for a long time. He finally reached the same height as his father, so he just gave up?

"Ruhai, let me think again."

"Okay. Enhou, today he won't trust you like the Taishang trusts his father-in-law. He won't feel at ease if you control the military power of the Beijing camp. And Fansen, the Taifu, if he can resign, he will still resign."

Nowadays, it is more deceitful than the crown prince, the eldest prince and the second prince have stopped studying, so at this time, the establishment of the grand tutor is teaching the crown prince?

Jia Amnesty sat silently for half an hour, and finally said with difficulty: "Ruhai, thank you. I will go home and keep my filial piety."

"Brother, don't write the scriptures. After the scriptures have passed the cabinet and more people's eyes, there may be some rumors. You hand the scriptures to the present yourself. It doesn't matter whether it is successful or not. What you have to do is , let today believe in you, believe that you will not compete with him for military power. If you are not allowed today, the matter of seizing love will not be brought out by the censor to trouble you in the future. Yes, it is you who insist on keeping filial piety, and now you will believe you even more. Uncle will be fine in the future."

Jia Amnesty nodded.

"What I'm most afraid of is that the saint is not sure, and he is not sure, so brother must be careful."

"Dare he?" Jia Amnesty widened his eyes.

"The cunning rabbit is dead, the running dog is cooking. The flying birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden. Uncle, if you don't speak now, you have to write a few more papers to show your determination."

Lin Haimo paused for a while, then said in a low voice: "If he believes that you have no intention of holding on to the military power, when you become a filial piety, it will happen that Hu Shangshu will become an official. It should be yours, and I will give it to you today."

"Okay. Ruhai, I listen to you."

"Brother, if you have spare time, teach Yong Lian how to command a soldier now."

"You mean?"

"Both you and Niu Shilang go home to observe filial piety, and now the military power of the Beijing camp must be handed over to someone he can trust—those who have made great contributions to Pingni and have a deep relationship. Either Yonglian or Hu Shangshu’s son. Niu Shilang’s eldest son is the grandson of Cheng, and he will go home with him to observe his filial piety. Hu Shangshu is already the Minister of the Ministry of War, do you think you will give him the Beijing camp now?”

"The sage will not give the Beijing Camp to Xiao Hu."

"Understood? Give it to Yonglian, so you can take it back later. If you give it to someone else, you can't be sure."

"Ruhai, I really don't want Yonglian to be contaminated with military power."

"Enhou, it's not whether you want it, it's whether the saint wants it or not. Yong Lian is a second-ranked Jinshi, and the civil servants are in charge of the army. The generals of the Beijing camp will not embarrass him for the sake of his father-in-law and you. Those who are a little smarter in the military camp, You will understand that Yong Lian is in charge of the army for you. However, if you don't give the capital to Yong Lian now..."

"Don't worry, from now on I will be my Rong Guogong in peace and stability. Lian'er is a filial piety and returns to the household department to grind slowly. With you and Cheng Yin, no one would dare to bully him. "

Lin Hai nodded, "Where is the Niu Shilang, I told him about keeping filial piety today. I don't know that he got a servant again after ten years, so I can't bear it."

Jia Amnesty figured it out and did what he said.Years ago, he went to the study several times.The sage finally allowed Jia Amnesty to go home and keep filial piety for Jia's mother.

Years later, the first thing in the first great court meeting, the sage handed over the Beijing camp to Jia Lian who had passed the filial piety.

When Jia She was released from the filial piety, Hu Shangshu of the Ministry of War had the foresight to retire early. Jia She was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War and joined the cabinet, but the Beijing camp was handed over to Jia She, Niu Shilang, and Hu Shilang.

Hu Shilang is the little Hu that Jia She called, the eldest son of Hu Shangshu, who inherited the viscount.

The sage did not treat Jia Lian badly, and promoted Jia Lian to be a fifth-rank member of the household department.
