Winning every step of the Red Mansion

249

Knowing that Jia She went to the Zhongjing Palace, Jia Zheng was afraid that he would know that he was also involved in the signature recommendation, so he hurriedly asked Jia She to explain the matter, but Jia Zheng felt that it was difficult to explain the matter, so he had to go slowly after seeing Jia She. Lead the topic there, but Jia Amnesty will never take the bait.Jia Zheng thought to himself that maybe Jia She was not aware of this matter, and planned to find a reason to leave, but Jia She then said some gossip at this time, and Jia Zheng was startled and told about his participation in the sponsorship. , and incidentally confessed to Jia Zhen and Wang Ziteng, Jia She was even more angry, and secretly determined that this matter must not be so simple.

Two days later, early in the morning, a palace eunuch rushed to the mansion to announce Jia's amnesty and enter the palace.Jia Amnesty knew that this trip must be because of the preparations for the military training position, so he was busy with his official uniform and followed the eunuch to the court.

Jia Amnesty was originally a vacant position, and he was handpicked today, so he was able to meet the king in the early court.The last time it was like this, it was also because of the rebellion by the bandits along the West Sea, who returned the money owed by the family by himself, and Sheng Shang Shi Xi praised him in the court hall before he got the chance.Unexpectedly, this time it was also because of the chaos along the West Sea, lack of drudgery for military preparations, and someone recommended him, so he was ordered to do so.Jia Amnesty thought to himself that the sentence that success is also Xiao He and failure is Xiao He seems quite reasonable.But I can't make any mistakes this time, and I can see the tricks, after all, I have the support of Prince Zhongjing behind me.

When Jia Amnesty entered the hall, he saw hundreds of officials standing there, their faces sinking like water, and he couldn't help feeling nervous. He took a few steps and knelt in front of the hall to ask the emperor to bow down.The emperor saw Jia Amnesty finished bowing, ordered him to stand up, and said: "Today Xuan Aiqing came to the imperial court, because of the riots along the West Sea, there was no military preparation, and many of your family recommended Aiqing, calling you the most appropriate. "

When Jia Amnesty heard this, he knelt down and said: "The humble minister eats the king's salary, so naturally he should share the worries for the king. For such a big matter, I owe the trust of the adults in the same dynasty to the humble minister. If the humble minister finds excuses, it will be disappointing. The minister wishes Do the work of a dog and a horse." After finishing speaking, he kowtowed to the emperor again.

Among the people in the court hall, after hearing Jia She's words, some looked contemptuous and some looked sneering, but Jia She was kneeling and lowered his head so he couldn't see it, but he knew it in his heart.

Someone in the court hall couldn't bear to go out to play and said: "My lord, Shengming, this post of military supplies preparation is under the watchful eye of a humble minister. Although General Jia is more than loyal, he has never had such experience, such an important matter of military preparations. It would be more appropriate to invite someone with extensive experience to do it."

Jia She followed the voice and saw that it was Uncle Pingyuan Qiping. The Qi family had no connection with Jia's family on weekdays, but his family was also from a military background. Now it is not a false job. Their Qi family has excellent military records. But he was somewhat affected by his upright temper.He said these words should be somewhat from the perspective of the court.

Jia Amnesty had a thought in his heart that the Qi family might still be able to make friends with each other in the future.Sure enough, after Qi Ping finished speaking, several generals came out to reconsider.But at this moment, another person came out of the class and knelt down and said: "I think that General Jia is a good candidate for this matter. Although, as General Qi said, General Jia has never held this position, but there is no one in the world who is born He has served in this position. Moreover, General Jia prepared the money for the last riot in the West Sea. Now that he makes this order again, it can also demonstrate General Jia's talent. Besides, in the past few years, General Jia's mansion has built a forest of steles, and The one who built Lanshu Pavilion, of course, General Jia is very handy in raising money." Jia Amnesty looked around again, and found that this person was Zhao Zhai, a confidant of the Prince of Nan'an Xiaojun and now serving in the Ministry of Officials.

When Jia Amnesty heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to jump up and curse the street.This is too exasperating.Can last time compare with this time?The last time it was a matter of paying back the debt, but I have paid off what I should have paid. This time I can only donate some salary to show my loyalty.It's not that I don't want to take care of it, but that my ability is limited and I can't do it.What Zhao Zhai said is correct, no one is born to be able to achieve this position, but which one can achieve this position without being honed through hundreds of battles?And it's none of your business to repair my house. Could it be that you saw that my family is rich, so you plan to let me pay for it out of my own pocket?It's a good idea!Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Zhai said this, Qi Pingping and everyone who had left the class earlier snorted softly.

Jia Amnesty wondered why the people he usually walks around are now on the side of recommending him.There are younger brothers, nephews, and relatives in front, and now there is one more king of Nan'an County, one of the four kings, and today's visit is not in vain.This is quite insightful. In the past, he was always close to himself, but now it is even more frightening to have a stab in the back!

Jia She took a peek at Prince Zhongjing who was standing beside him, and Prince Zhongjing was also looking at him at this time, the two looked at each other, and Prince Zhongjing nodded slightly at him.Jia Amnesty understood, kowtowed his head and began to play: "Your Majesty, please tell me that General Qi is concerned that I have no experience and may not be competent. I can't argue with this matter. It is true. However, I am willing to repay the emperor's kindness with all my heart. As for Zhao My lord said, firstly, I would like to thank Lord Zhao for being so proud of me. Secondly, there are several things that are not due to me. I hope I can explain clearly, so as not to cause misunderstandings. I also hope that the sage Give me a chance to make it clear."

Sitting upright on the dragon chair, the emperor heard Jia She's interjection, and said with a smile: "You can say whatever you want."

After thanking Jia She for his kindness, he said: "I'm afraid that some people only knew about the last time I took out the silver, but they didn't know that it was the silver taels owed to the household department by the family in the early years. Above. Besides, it wasn’t just Weichen’s family that time, but also the descendants of Weichen’s clan Ningguo Gong who also returned the owed silver. After that, Weichen also heard that some other ministers also returned the owed silver. In terms of merit, it’s true It's not mine. That's why you, Mr. Zhao, are flattering me too much."

Jia Amnesty cupped his hands at Zhao Zhai, and said, "Secondly, this Lanshu Pavilion cannot be regarded as belonging to my family. Your lords should know that my family was born in the army, and my grandfather Rong Guogong spent his whole life in the army. I If you really don't have talent, you won't be able to write, and you won't be able to do martial arts. If you talk about it in detail and say that you are not afraid of the jokes of the adults, the books you read can only enter the bottom class. The books on the first floor of Lanshu Pavilion are donated by Peng Luo But, even though it was a wedding gift for my humble minister and my dog, my dog ​​didn’t dare to accept it, and that’s how Lanshu Pavilion came into existence. Our mansion is just a bookkeeper. As for the Stele Forest Pavilion, it’s really It was built for the sake of family education, such three things, I dare not pretend to be a humble minister, so I clarify it in front of Long Live. Thank you, my lord, for your kindness, and thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your love." Jia She looked at Zhao again at this time. Seeing that the smile on his face froze, he felt a burst of pride in his heart.

The emperor said: "Aiqing has made great progress this time compared to last time. This matter has been delayed for a long time, and a decision is needed every day, because many people recommend Aiqing. Although you have no such experience, you can give it a try. Love What do you think, Qing?" Although this question was a question, Jia She understood that there was no possibility of changing the matter at this time.

Jia Amnesty pondered in his heart, the emperor's palace is so deep, how could it be possible that he didn't know the pros and cons of it, this response was intentional, and he didn't know what to do behind it, this time he was being used as a pawn.It's just that although there is a loyal and respectful prince to keep him safe, he still can't feel at ease.Jia She thought for a while and said: "My minister is willing to share his worries with all his heart. It's just..." Jia She said the word "just" in a low voice. After hearing this, the emperor said: "Just what? I'm afraid I won't be able to do such things well and be punished. Let me make it clear to you that this requires a military order, and if it is not handled properly, it will be dealt with by military law."

Jia Amnesty shrank his neck when he heard this, and his heart was still beating. After all, the military law is not a joke, but at this time, it is even more impossible to say no to the pick, because it is not courting death on the spot.Jia Amnesty said hurriedly: "I have taken this job, so I will naturally think about it. If I can't do it well, I don't need military law to deal with it, I will kill myself to thank my sin. It's just that I have a heartless request, and I hope the Holy One will allow it."

"But it doesn't matter."

"This errand for me was originally recommended by many adults. I am very happy in my heart. It's a pity that I don't know who recommended me. It's a pity that I can't thank you in person. However, I I also have an idea, I hope the Holy One will approve it. If this matter is done well this time, no matter what rewards I get in the future, I will not accept it, and I would like to share it equally with the adults recommended by you, so as to repay the kindness of these adults.”

"Aiqing is a person who knows how to repay her kindness, so it's not bad." The emperor nodded, "Then what if you can't do it well?"

Jia Amnesty made another salute and said, "Your Majesty, I will do my best under the orders. But this matter is also a bold one, and I will give it a go. But it is true as General Qi said, I have no such experience. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. If I can't do it well, I will receive the punishment myself. Needless to say, but the lords who have recommended you, please take the trouble to accompany the minister to be punished. After all, it's okay, I don't receive rewards, and if it breaks, just punish me It's a little too lonely. This is how General Qi and others try to dissuade him, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

As soon as Jia She said this, many people in the court hall changed their faces.The emperor smiled and said: "Although this matter sounds new, but when you think about it carefully, you are not good at it, and secondly, you received the errand because you were recommended. Since you are good, you don't want to reward, but you have to share it equally." Everyone can be regarded as repaying the favor, and it is not appropriate to punish you alone if it fails. This is also fair. Then the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War will cooperate with you to complete this errand. That’s it. This matter After arguing for several days, today is considered a solution."

Jia Amnesty kowtowed to thank him.The emperor asked some other political matters at the court, and then withdrew.Jia She walked out of the hall silently among the officials, his steps getting heavier and heavier.Now there is indeed no way out, since they can use knives behind their backs, it's better to make it clear.
