Cross the Sea in the Red Chamber

There are new things everywhere in the world, and I will appear on stage after you sing.Jiang Yuan watched as soon as Situ Sheng's "money blackmail strategy" came out, the Rongguo Mansion itself was in a mess, and he couldn't help laughing. The whole Jia family had already responded to the sentence "meat eaters are contemptible, and they can't seek far-sightedness". There is a person who is a pillar in their family, how can they end up like today?

The old emperor is still alive. Although His Royal Highness is in a relatively stable position, he cannot be compared with the emperor's father in terms of power. Then the emperor opens his mouth to keep the nobles, let alone Jiang Yuan, the left servant of the military department. Well, even the prince Situ Sheng is useless.The court hall of the Jing Dynasty is not the court hall of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. Officials united can even coerce the emperor to force the emperor to change orders. It is said that the emperor and the officials rule the world together. In fact, all the officials tied together cannot shake the emperor's thoughts, let alone shake the emperor's orders.

The prestige of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong was too great. Emperor Gao rose up as a commoner to overthrow the decadent and fatuous Yan Dynasty, amend the strict laws of Yan Dynasty, and save the common people.Emperor Taizong was diligent and thrifty, abolished punishment of corporal punishment, lightly paid taxes, and appointed virtuous and talented people, which enabled the people to recuperate and live in peace and contentment.There are still many common people enshrining their spirit tablets. Speaking of them, they are human beings. In the hearts of these common people, they are taller and more benevolent than any gods. Under such circumstances, who can refute what the emperor said?The rebellion of San Francisco relied on the fact that they were also the descendants of Emperor Gao, and the palace change of the eldest prince and the fifth prince also relied on this. If they didn't have the blood of the Situ family, they would have no way to instigate the army to accompany them. !I'm afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would be tied up on the ground by the people.

Now that the San Francisco has been pacified, all the princes have nothing to do, and only Situ Sheng and his fourth brother Situ Hui are left. Who else in the entire court can resist the emperor's will?Unless Situ Sheng can act unfaithfully and unfilially, committing a crime and killing his father, otherwise the old emperor has to listen to what he says, listen to what he doesn't listen to, and listen to it even if he plugs his ears. That's how willful he is!

Fortunately, Jiang Yuan really has no plans to kill all the nobles at once, and he is not in the mood to confront the old emperor. It is not a good idea to confront the old emperor blatantly because of personal enmity. If he really does this, he will be Situ Sheng If you don't say anything clearly, you will probably have pimples in your heart. Today you can treat my father positively and negatively, will you do the same to me in the future?He has a good relationship with Situ Sheng's monarch and ministers. According to Situ Sheng's character, they are likely to maintain the line of "Mingjun Xianchen" for the rest of their lives. It is too unworthy to be destroyed because of that inconspicuous Rongguo Mansion.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Tang killed Yan Yi, who had always disliked him, in the name of "belly slander", but didn't he die because of someone else's false accusation?Even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty slaughtered a few dead ghosts to avenge him for him, what's the use? God knows whether Emperor Wu of the Han really wanted to avenge him or was it just a way to save face because he didn't like Zhang Tang?Therefore, it is better for a minister to follow his immediate superiors, and the worst is not to attack directly but to fight in a roundabout way.

Didn't the emperor want to keep the nobles to deal with the family?Very good, then use his words to let Shijia and Xungui fight to the death and hurt both sides.Although the fourth prince, Situ Hui, was reprimanded by the old emperor, he was not implicated because he was unable to participate in the palace change. The group of aristocratic children under him still had the right to speak, how could this be possible?This is too unfair to the dismal experience of the First Prince and the Fifth Prince, hehe, let's find him something to do.

Jiang Yuan's idea is very simple to sum up, if there is no comparison, it will be boring, since the family and the nobles are going to fight to the death, fighting to the death, let's put them together.To put it simply, every noble official in Beijing will be placed next to or at the same position, but there is only one chance for them to be promoted or rewarded, so what will these two people do in this situation? ?The two can only hold each other back.It's not a big deal to put one or two people together, but what if they put such two people in all the places they can control, and let them fight against each other?Then Xungui and the aristocratic family can't live in peace even if they want to, they can only fight each other until one side is completely defeated.

It is easy to say, but it is still very complicated to operate.Fortunately, Situ Sheng, the crown prince, is no longer under the command of the two or three kittens. There are a large number of officials and counselors who have defected to him to dispatch and drive. It is just a piece of cake to intensify the conflict.

Jia Zheng, the second master of the Rongguo Mansion, encountered such a situation when he went to the Ministry of Industry this day.He is a sixth-rank head of the Ministry of Industry, and it is reasonable to say that he should go to work on time every day, but it’s okay for the second master to not study well, and he is a stick who doesn’t know anything about things. He is very good at making troubles in the basket, and he can bear it once or twice. After a long time, his immediate boss is not willing to let him do things at all, and simply let him leave every day when the time comes. He doesn't exist, it marginalizes him.

Jia Zheng originally thought that after going to the Ministry of Industry today, he would be able to go back and continue discussing poetry, poetry and life philosophy with his family members. As for his elder brother Jia She, who came to him every day to make troubles about the separation of the family, he is so filial. How can the good son of a good son separate from his elder brother while his mother is still alive?Isn't that disrespectful? !

He was standing there full of righteous indignation, his immediate superior, Mr. Lang Zhong of Du Shui Qing Li Department of the Ministry of Industry, had something to do with him, so he called him directly into his office room.Come in and take a look, in this room is not only him and the doctor, but also Chu Chen, another director of the Ministry of Industry in the company.

It stands to reason that the Dushui Qingli Department of the Ministry of Industry is in charge of estimating and selling project costs, and is in charge of making edicts, official documents and other affairs. It has only six doctors, six Yuanwailang, six principals and the following If you are a small official, etc., then a fifth-rank doctor should only have a sixth-rank master in charge.But this Jia Zheng is completely useless. He is no different from not having him. Even without him is better than having him. And the boss just needs a fifth-rank Yuanwailang, Jia Zheng. It's unreliable, the doctor can't do all the work by himself.There is no way, the Ministry of Industry can only match this poor doctor with another chief named Chu Chen, so that he can barely support it, so as not to delay the big event.

Early this morning, the doctor checked the account books recorded by his subordinates. Unexpectedly, when he opened a book and flipped through the pages, he saw four mistakes. Wrong, I don't know how many miscalculations were made in the accounts inside. When I closed the account book, it turned out that this book was written by Jia Zheng. How could it not give him a headache?If you can’t do it, then don’t do it. Anyway, you are not short of your food. I made so many mistakes. When I met someone who didn’t know, I thought the Ministry of Industry was making fake accounts!

In a fit of rage, he called Jia Zheng and Chu Chen over, first handed over all the work in Jia Zheng's hands to Chu Chen, and then, without carrying his back, slapped Jia Zheng on his face in front of Chu Chen. A reprimand.This doctor is from the Legalist family and is more pragmatic. He usually doesn't think much of Jia Zheng, who is a corrupt scholar. Now, because of his bad temper, his scolding is really mean. There are a few words that go straight to the heart. , A few thunderbolts shook the sky in the mist of the distant mountains, even a pig would be ashamed to hang himself, let alone scolding Jia Zheng, a living person.Even Chu Chen, who was standing on the sidelines, broke out in a cold sweat. He was glad that he didn't offend this boss, otherwise he wouldn't be able to bear such a scolding.

The doctor was a bit loud, and the door of his room was not closed tightly. Half of Dushuiqing officials could hear his roaring and reprimanding. The minister of the Ministry of Industry knew that Jia Zheng had made another mistake.Fortunately, Jia Zheng often made mistakes. He could hear such reprimands every so often. He was used to it. Although he felt ashamed sometimes, what could he do?Resign? !If he really resigned, what else would he have left?Wouldn't it be even more impossible to compete with Jia She, the eldest brother of Xijue?So even if pigs can hang themselves, Jia Zheng is still alive and well, and hypnotized that he is underappreciated and underutilized. After listening to the scolding, he doesn't even need psychological counseling, and goes back home to talk about calligraphy and painting with the Qingke.

This matter will be over. If you know it or not, you can just smile and pass. Who knows that after a few days, Jia Zheng, who was scolded, was promoted to be a member of the Ministry of Industry. The fifth grade is actually riding on the head of Chu Chen who works hard and never makes mistakes. How can this not be beyond everyone's expectations? !Not to mention others, he, Chu Chen, was the first to be unconvinced!

Why?That Jia Zheng was reprimanded by the doctor every day, and he would make mistakes every now and then, making mistakes that others would never make in ten lifetimes.If he hadn't had a good father who didn't forget to find him an official position before he died, with this guy's own ability, he wouldn't even think about being an official in his next life, and it would be fine if he didn't get demoted and fined, why did he get promoted official position?What's the point?He refuses to accept it!

Chu Chen, a stunned young man, went directly to Mr. Langzhong for comment, but who would have thought that Mr. Langzhong's tone would turn around 180 degrees.A few days ago, Jia Zheng was criticized as no different from a bug, but now he is praised like a flower in his mouth. He is careful in work, serious in attitude, hardworking and simple, and it was obviously done by Chu Chen. He put all the projects on Jia Zheng's head, but Chu Chen became a lazy person.

No matter how dumbfounded Qing Chuchen is, he is also the young master of the aristocratic Chu family, so he doesn't understand everything. He probably knows that something is wrong.He is different from Jia Zheng, who has a negative EQ. Although no one looks down on him because of his good background, he still knows how to win over his subordinates, so quite a few small officials were convinced by his money offensive, willing to obey his words, and sent them When I went out to inquire, I really found out how Jia Zheng got promoted.

According to these small officials, the position of the Ministry of Industry member Wailang had already been determined to be Chu Chen's. Who would have thought that Jia Zheng knew about Xin'er, and went directly to Minister Fang to sue Chu Chen for his troubles.They don't know what Jia Zheng said. They only know that Mr. Fang Yuefang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was furious on the spot. He overturned the table and smashed a set of tea sets. Jia Zheng was given the position of Yuanwailang that was given to Chu Chen, and he also said that if it wasn't for Chu Chen's good family background, he might have been sent home by Lord Shangshu at this time.

Well, it really was you, Jia Zheng, who did the trick!No wonder Mr. Langzhong dare not tell the truth, so you went to Mr. Shangshu to slander me and falsely accuse me, you, you, you, just wait and see!Chu Chen slammed the door and went out with a flick of his sleeve.

Jia Zheng was promoted to a higher level without knowing what was going on. Mother Jia who knew about it was very encouraged. She thought that her second son was about to rise to the top. He was clamoring to separate the family, and he was afraid that his pedantic younger brother would really get a holy family and be promoted.Jia Zheng became the only one in the entire Ministry of Industry who was not surprised by his own promotion. He took it for granted and didn't think it was unreasonable at all. Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry, should have belonged to him in the first place, and even this official position is not worthy of his talent and learning. It would be almost the same if he were made a minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Seeing Jia Zheng's natural look, Chu Chen became even more furious. If he hadn't been restrained by reason, he wished he could go up and beat Jia Zheng up!

As a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, his job promotion has changed, and he can no longer leave at a click, so Jia Zheng has to stay in the Ministry of Industry to do things honestly.But within two days of doing it, he felt that something was wrong. For example, if the doctor asked him to estimate the situation of ice storage in winter, then all the albums related to ice storage would disappear mysteriously, and he couldn’t find it for three to five days. They all said they didn't see it.For another example, if Master Langzhong asked him to count the ship tax, all the account books of the ship tax would disappear, and finally, when the deadline passed, they would appear on his desk strangely.Even if he was personally promoted by Master Shangshu, the doctor couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to hand everything over to Chu Chen, scolding Jia Zheng so much that he couldn't lift his head. I just want to get into the cracks in the ground to hide.

Jia Zheng's pedantry is pedantic, and dullness is dullness, but he is not stupid. He turned his head and saw what he didn't know about the smile on the corner of Chu Chen's mouth. It turned out that he was the one who made it up to him!

This Jia Zheng was full of anger, but he couldn't produce any evidence, and he had nothing to do with Chu Chen, so he told his confidants inside and out about the matter when he got home.That Qing Ke was just a scholar, and he was also very pedantic. He knew one thing, the lower officials had to listen to the superiors. Since Jia Zheng was Chu Chen's superior, it would be easy to torment Chu Chen!

Jia Zheng thought about it, that's right.The next day, he left without even clicking, and did nothing for the whole day, just disrupting Chu Chen's work and making him go around, causing Chu Chen a headache.

Jia Zheng hadn't been proud of it for a few days, and the censor from the Chu family sued Jia Zheng in court for not observing filial piety, which caused his concubine to conceive and give birth to a child during his father's filial piety!He also sued him for being disrespectful and disrespectful to his elder brother, and he often insulted Xijue's elder brother!

This pregnant concubine is Jia Zheng's aunt Zhao, and the child she gave birth to is his concubine Jia Huan.Jia Zheng's father, Jia Daishan, died five years ago. According to Jingchao's calculation, Jia Huan was exactly four years old this year. He was born for three full years, plus ten months of pregnancy, when Jia Daishan died about a year ago. conceived.Observing filial piety needs to be kept for three years according to the etiquette. During the mourning period, you can’t eat meat or have sex. But you, Jia Zheng, have always claimed that you like reading and know the etiquette, how can you even do such things? !Didn't Jia Daishan jump out of the coffin to settle accounts with you?

There was a lot of discussion in the court hall, the old emperor coughed a few times and just wanted to speak, who knew that another censor stood beside him.This time he sued Chu Chen's family for bullying men and women and forcing them into slavery, and even robbed people's land and beat officials!

This situation is much more ruthless than that of giving birth to children during the filial period. After all, having a child during the filial period is a matter of private morality. Poor personal morality is a moral issue. According to the laws of the Jing Dynasty, the most is to condemn and condemn and then go home to eat yourself.But bullying men and women into slavery, robbing people's fields and beating officials is a crime. If it is found out, not only will they be dismissed from office, but they will also be punished and even exiled and beheaded!

When the censor surnamed Chu heard this, he quickly went to see who the censor who had just stood up was. He recognized him at a glance, and even thought of his background. , and more importantly, this man's wife's surname is Jia, who is a distant relative of the Rongguo Mansion.No wonder he stood up and disturbed his memorabilia at this time. It turned out that he was looking for the Rongguo Mansion, good Jia Zheng, good Rong Guo Mansion, good Jia family, do you really think that our Chu family has no one? ?

Even if this matter was escalated above the court, the forces of the Jia family and the Chu family quarreled directly above the court, and finally even a fight broke out.This is a scene of the Jing Dynasty. In this age when all the people love martial arts, even civil servants are not without combat effectiveness. Some civil servants are even better at fighting than military officials. It is common to fight with each other. Even the former chief assistant Feng Ao is good at being invisible. Where are the feet...

As a result of the fight, the old emperor announced his resignation, and the details will be discussed at the next court meeting.However, the two sides have remembered each other, and the conflict has escalated to this level, even if they want to reconcile, it will be impossible, this matter... can't be finished!
