Capital

It is no secret that the Supreme Emperor and his father and son are at odds in the capital.

The Supreme Emperor directly pointed out that the Emperor was unfilial!

It is a crime to be unfilial, let alone the king of a country?

The emperor also said that there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country. Since the Supreme Emperor has abdicated, he should take care of his life, and he should not touch the jade seal in private, issue an imperial edict, and intervene in the country.

The courtiers also quarreled.

The old ministers of the emperor had long been dissatisfied with the suppression of Emperor Tianqi after he took office, and naturally supported the emperor to depose Emperor Tianqi and establish a new emperor.

Naturally, Emperor Tianqi also had his own diehard loyalists, and they all accused the veterans of serving as vegetarians, only knowing to make waves and making no contribution to the world!

Although the Supreme Emperor did not explicitly say that he was abolishing the Emperor, he frequently recruited other sons into the palace to serve him, especially the loyal and obedient prince who was even more loved by the Emperor.

Wang Ziteng was in the most awkward position.

He was born in an honorable family and belonged to the old courtiers of the emperor, but he was trusted by Emperor Tianqi, so now he is caught in the middle, very embarrassing.

He simply found an excuse, asked for sick leave, and did not go to court.

Fortunately, everyone was busy, but no one just stared at him.

In the first few days in the court, everyone was attacking each other and arguing with each other. After a few days, the first speaker who criticized the Supreme Emperor for meddling in the government was directly ordered by the Supreme Emperor to be pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded. His family members were demoted membership.

This can be regarded as igniting the flames of war.

On the second day, Emperor Tianqi copied four of the old six princes for various crimes in return for the Supreme Emperor.

Now the courtiers complained, and the opposing faction started various means.

Even the low-key Jia Zheng was affected, and his immediate superior made a mistake.

Jia Zheng was dismissed as an official for a while, he was a little helpless, just stayed in the study in a daze.

Mrs. Wang came to comfort him:

"Is the master still worried about dismissal?"

Jia Zheng sighed:

"I've been busy for decades, and suddenly I don't know what to do when I'm free."

"It's good to take a break. I went to see my brother today. My sister-in-law told me that my brother just has a little cold and nothing serious. This time he asked for leave to avoid the limelight. Master can take this opportunity to avoid it." That's good too."

"What madam said makes sense, don't worry, I'm just feeling emotional for a while, the reason is still clear."

The old lady was also very bluffed, and hurriedly ordered to close the door of the house and restrain the servants, so as not to go out and cause trouble at this time.

Just after saying this, something happened to my old relative Zhen's family.

Just a few days before the news came, there was a knock on the door of Jia's mansion.

"Who are you looking for?" There was a knock on the west corner door, and the boy who guarded the door opened the door to see a few decent women he didn't know.

The women looked a little nervous: "We are servants of the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River, and we are here to find Mrs. Wang!"

"Then you wait, I'll ask someone to pass it on." The boy was about to close the door, but was stopped by several women:

"Good buddy, tell us to go in and wait, it's inconvenient outside."

The servant looked at the several carriages behind him, and thought that there were masters on them, so he nodded and let them wait inside the door.

When Mrs. Wang learned that someone from the Zhen family came to her house, she couldn't refuse the door, so she hurriedly said:

"The one in charge, please come here."

"Greetings to my wife! Greetings to the old lady, master, son, and girls!"

"Get up, why are you here, are your old ladies, wives and other people in your family all right?"

"It's all good, thank you madam for caring!"

Madam Wang nodded:

"Then did you come to Beijing this time to visit relatives, or is there something else?"

The woman in charge laughed and said:

"It's not about visiting relatives! It's just that our wife asked us to send a few boxes of silver, saying that she wanted to keep it at the house and pick it up when our brother goes to Beijing to catch the exam someday."

"Your brother is going to Beijing to take the exam? He is promising! Who is it?"

"It's our second master, nicknamed Huan Baoyu, who is taking part in the next subject. My wife said it was just a try and I'm not very sure. It's not as good as Mr. Yu from your house, who is the youngest champion!"

Mrs. Wang first heard that Baoyu was so motivated, she felt a little uncomfortable, and when she heard Jia Yu was mentioned, her eyes were full of pride.

The two houses are old relatives, and they exchanged money with each other. The Jia family also let go of money in the Zhen family, and now the Zhen family has no reason to refuse it.

I don't want to think that after a few days, the Zhen family was convicted!

Zhen Yingjia, the president of Jinling Institute of Physical Education, was deposed from his official position and dispatched to the southeast, where his property was confiscated.

The Jia family was shocked when they heard the news.

Mrs. Wang couldn't sit still.

He hurriedly told the old lady about the arrival of the servants from the Zhen family a few days ago.

The old lady was also surprised:

"Could it be that their family knew that they were going to be convicted?" Otherwise, how could they have sent money here for storage at such a coincident time.

"My daughter-in-law is also afraid of such a thing! Who knows if the Zhen family has done something rebellious? It must not be accidental that their family was condemned as soon as the old concubine left!

If I had known it earlier, I would not have accepted it. What if it caused any trouble to the empress and Yu'er in the palace, it would be good! "

The master has already been dismissed from office, and now the family is counting on their two children, if they are involved again...

The old lady had no choice but to comfort: "The matter has come to this point, I can only find ways to turn it around. I think it's better to take it to the empress when I enter the palace in two days, and the empress will find a way to hand it over to the emperor."

There's no way, it's not that the Jia family is unkind, it's that their own family can't protect themselves. In this turbulent season, any small matter is easy to be magnified.In order to protect his own family, he could only keep a distance from the Zhen family so as not to be implicated.

However, no matter how far-sighted they were, the Jia family still suffered disaster because of these boxes of silver.

On the afternoon when the silver was just delivered to the palace, Master Zhao, the commander of the Dragon Guards, came to visit.

Recently, Mr. Zhao has been very prestigious. Almost all the house raids were carried out by him with the Dragon Guards. Now that he has entered Jia's house, this makes Jia's family a little uneasy.

Jia Zheng and his brothers received him.

"My lord, please take your seat!"

Mr. Zhao restrained himself a lot when he saw the imperial plaque in the mansion.

He took a sip of tea and put it down in the shock of Jia's family:

"How is the old man?"

"TOEFL, it's not bad!"

"This officer also thinks it's good, otherwise why would he have the leisure to meddle in the Zhen family's affairs? 5 taels of silver!"

As soon as these words came out, the two were so frightened that their backs sweated, and they knelt down quickly. Jia Zheng said:

"Why did you say that, my lord? The Zheng family was also deceived by the Zhen family. They thought it was just stored here for his brother to go to Beijing to take the exam. Who would have thought that there was such a thing? After the members of the Zheng family heard the news It's because I was so distraught that I took the opportunity of asking for peace and brought it into the palace early this morning, and entrusted the empress to hand it over to the Holy Majesty!"

"Hey! Sir, are you joking with the lower official? Right now, the lower official comes alone and there is still room for discussion. If the higher-ups send someone, it will be different!" Mr. Zhao gave him a sideways look, apparently in disbelief.

Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty looked at each other in surprise.

Jia She said:

"My lord, the silver has really been sent to the palace, and we will never be able to get it out again!"

Mr. Zhao put a face down:

"Since that's the case, let's just treat this as an official and get away with it for nothing! It's just that it won't be the case next time I visit the door! Farewell!"

After finishing speaking, he left without waiting for Jia Zheng to stay.

Jia Zheng sighed:

"Brother shouldn't just refuse!"

"Huh, don't you refuse? If you don't refuse, how can the family give him 5 taels of silver? This guy is obviously here to blackmail people. If you accept him today, and someone else will come to your door tomorrow, how can we have so much money to send? Let's talk With the empress in the palace around, what are you afraid of?" Jia Amnesty was still confident.

"Ugh!"

Jia Zheng couldn't say no to him, so he shook his hands and left.

At Mrs. Wang's place, Aunt Xue was crying at her place.

"My sister has to help me!"

Madam Wang sighed:

"Right now, the capital city is in a mess. The important ministers above are all pinching together, and all the monsters and monsters below have come out to make trouble, making the water very muddy. In my opinion, it's better to get some money and tell Pan'er to come here first. Stay in prison for a few days, wait until the situation clears up after a while, then no one will dare to do anything to him even in the face of elder brother, sister said that is the reason?"

"My sister is right, it's just that I can't let go of that evil obstacle for a day if I don't see it coming back!" Aunt Xue wiped away tears.

Mrs. Wang was also helpless, who would have thought that after so long, the matter of Xue Pan's beating to death would still be uncovered.

"In addition, in the past few days, people came to the door every day claiming to understand the situation at that time. They were nothing more than begging for money. It would be okay if the money was given to avoid disasters, but they were all thrown down without seeing the waves!"

Mrs. Wang said anxiously:

"How can I get rid of it indiscriminately? There is no end to blood sucking."

Aunt Xue: ...

How could she not know that others bullied their orphans and widows and had no one to rely on.

Seeing the gentle Baochai, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but sigh. She thought Xue Pan's matter was over, but now it was revealed again.

Aunt Xue is busy with Xue Pan's affairs, and Jia's house is not peaceful.

There is no news from the empress, but Mr. Zhao took the imperial decree and brought a group of dragon guards to raid the house according to the decree!

Immediately there was a commotion in the house, all the servants of the master were detained and not allowed to move around, and the dragon guards searched everywhere.

"Excuse me, whose will is it, my lord? Which emperor issued the imperial decree?" Jia Zheng said angrily.

Master Zhao is no longer as polite as before, with a cold face:

"I don't know which emperor's imperial decree, I only recognize the imperial decree! Why, could it be that the old man dared to resist the decree? Where is Jia Amnesty?"

Jia Zheng rubbed his chest angrily.

Their family belonged to the neutral faction, and they should have belonged to the emperor's side, but after Yuan Chun conferred the concubine, they naturally belonged to the Tianqi emperor's side.

Originally, it was considered safe. I didn't want to think that the neutral faction was the first to be unlucky in this chaos.

The content of the imperial decree was not limited to ransacking the house, but also listed more than a dozen crimes committed by Jia Amnesty. He ordered that Jia Amnesty be expelled from the title, take back the iron certificate of the alchemy book given by the Tai and Zu, and be arrested and sent to the prison of Shuntian Mansion.

And Jia Zheng's title was also taken back.

Jia Lian's vacant position has also been removed, and now Jia Yu, whose family is far away, has no official position or title.

Except for the clothes worn by the wives and grandmas, everything else in the house was confiscated, except Mrs. Wang, because she was the birth mother of the empress, her courtyard was not confiscated, and only the old lady's courtyard remained intact.

Mrs. Wang and others were at the old lady's place. When the news came, the old lady and the third old lady fainted.

The old lady had an imperial order, and he passed out, Master Zhao didn't dare to ignore him, so he called the doctor to come in for diagnosis and treatment.

The old lady was just frightened, and she was fine after being pricked, but the third old lady had an old disease, and this fright was even worse!

Where has Baoyu seen or thought about such a scene?I was so frightened that I couldn't speak anymore, and just sat there blankly.
