The city mansion proposed by Wei Hong is equivalent to the hospitality hotel of the Tianchao Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. It is used for the residence of officials who come to the city to live.

The mansion in Jinling City is on the street within Shichengmen. It was repaired once more than 50 years ago. It covers a vast area. The surrounding white walls and red tiles reveal the vicissitudes of time. The five doors are grand and generous.

The management clerk got the news and started preparing early.

After Ning Ru, Wei Hong, Zhang Anbo, Zhang Jingwei and other officials arrived at the mansion, they chatted for a while and began a banquet to greet Ning Qin's envoy.

The Imperial College Priest is the fourth rank, and Wen You is not qualified to sit at the same table with the ministers. Sitting in the seats in the lower hall, watching Ning Ru, Wei Hong, Zhang Anbo and others chat and laugh, and his heart is full of helplessness. Drinking the wine in his mouth was completely tasteless.

He still had to continue to endure Zhang Anbo's reform in the Imperial College. But the problem is that if the reform succeeds, he may not make any contribution. If the reform fails, he must have a minor mistake. He wants to be promoted. When will this kind of life end?

He is a frustrated person in the Jinling officialdom.

…

On the morning of September 28, the imperial imperial envoy Ning Hanlin read out four imperial edicts on the outer Jinchuanmen Wharf. It seemed to be "understood", but the impact on the Jinling officialdom was extremely strong.

At the noon reception banquet, officials, gentry and scholars were discussing these four imperial edicts in the mansion.

Some people sighed at the fate of the Chen family and Chen Gaolang. Chen Shangshu had the first-class power and skills, but was overthrown by the children and was unable to protect his integrity in his later years. The problems Zhang Anbo could naturally see were the old bureaucrats in Jinling City.

When Wei Hong and Wei Situ attacked each other with almost all the civil servants of Jinling, the struggle that had not yet waited for the court's ruling ended like this. What was acting behind it was not the game of official strength. It was Jia Huan who was taking action.

Civil officials have always looked down on nobles, concubines, and relatives. However, this little negligence made Jia Huan seize the gap. Now many people suddenly remembered: his sister is the imperial concubine! There are thousands of strategies for the power of the state officialdom, but among the most powerful power schemes, there must be the "pillow style".

This is not because of Chen Shangshu's negligence. First, Jia Huan has left Jinling for nearly twenty days and has completely disappeared from everyone's sight. Who knows that his personality is so resolute that after killing the Zheng family, he still has to deal with the Chen family?

Second, how did the comrades in Jinling know about the news in the harem? They were going to beheaded when they spy on the palace. There were so many concubines in the emperor, who knew that Concubine Jia was so favored? Otherwise, who would dare to "provoke" Jia Huan?

Some people are mocking Wu Zang. When Mr. Wu was removed from his official position and questioned, he performed too low-levelly and lost all the decentness of scholars. Although the officials in Jinling all know that the culprit of the grain case must be Chen Shangshu and Mr. Wu. The ending will not be too good. But this does not prevent everyone from schadenfreshingly laughing at this time.

Some people talk about Zhang Anbo being promoted to the Minister of Rites in Nanjing and becoming the leader of the Shilin in Jiangnan. Unexpectedly, it is reasonable.

Zhang Anbo was demoted to Nanjing from a high position like the left deputy censor of the capital city to serve as the Minister of Rites. He was not favored by the emperor. It was indeed beyond everyone's expectations to be appointed as the Minister of Rites in Nanjing. However, as Zhang Anbo's famous scholar, after Grandma Fang was transferred to the Minister of Rites, he was indeed worthy of the position of leader of Jiangnan Shilin.

Some people are ridiculing the Zhen family. The case of the Zhen family's deficit has had a result in the past few months. It is estimated that the former first family in Jiangnan will significantly sell their assets. It is necessary to lower the price.

What I had during a welcoming banquet was the change in the overall atmosphere and wind direction in the Jinling Power Field.

Now Secretary of Wei is a civil servant in Jinling.

…

The backyard of the mansion retains the architectural style from more than 50 years ago, which is very ancient and has a sense of heaviness. The afternoon sun falls on exquisite calligraphy and paintings, porcelain bottles, tables and chairs. It is elegant but not without nobleness. The green bamboo outside the window rusts in the wind.

Ning Ru changed into casual clothes, slightly drunk, leaned on the official hat chair covered with soft fur, rubbed her face, and smiled, "Ziyu, after leaving for many years, how can you be fine?"

Jia Huan smiled and whispered: "It's okay." He was not very excited.

Ning Ru glanced at Jia Huan and smiled, "You are not true! Empress Jia cried in front of the emperor, you angered the powerful and powerful in Jinling and were assassinated. The emperor was furious. That's why I came to Jinling with the imperial edict. I was still worried that something happened to Ziyu, you, would be really wrong."

Jia Huan bowed and said, "Mr. Xie Longjiang is concerned." He said, "My aunt died under the acquiescence of the Chen family, and it is hard to get rid of my heart."

Ning Ru nodded and promised: "Ziyu can rest assured about this."

He pondered the emperor's intentions when he went south to do business. To put it bluntly, the emperor was venting his anger for his beloved concubine. To sum up, he needed to meet Jia Huan's requirements. Jia Huan now put forward the conditions, and he agreed at once. Even if the Ministry of Revenue Food Cases were not manipulated by Chen Gaolang, this matter must be placed on Chen Gaolang.

Jia Huan was quick-minded and knew Ning Ru’s idea, but he did not have the interest of “false”. If he wanted to do it, he had to make a case. He believed that the Chen family could not escape the relationship in the grain case. The account book copied from the Zheng family explained all this.

Now Ning Ru is willing to cooperate, which is very convenient.

However, the strategy of getting rid of the Chen family is not like this. Even if a second-rank official loses all the food from the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue, the crime is at most a loss of official positions and stolen goods. In this way, the Chen family is over. However, this is not the result he wants.

What he wants is blood debt and blood repayment!

Jia Huan did not thank him, but instead talked to Ning Ru about another topic, "Mr. Longjiang, the grain price in Jinling City once rose to 2 taels of silver. Behind it was the eight rice shops in Jinling that were manipulating. The largest rice shop was the Chen family.

The high prices of rice have caused the Ministry of Revenue to transport grain from Jinling to Huainan to provide disaster relief. Huainan once had a shortage of food for the disaster relief victims, which caused the people to complain about the imperial court and the emperor. On that day, I was forced to reduce the food for refugees to 30% in the shogunate of Shafutai that day.

Fortunately, it was thanks to Wei Situ's strength to suppress the grain prices in Jinling, which led to the stability of Huainan today. However, the Chen family united their followers and impeached Wei Situ with ulterior motives."

Ning Ru looked at Jia Huan in surprise. He was born in a prime minister and was 41 years old this year. He was a Hanlin ten years ago and was very clear about the tricks of the officialdom. Jia Huan was making a new suggestion to him, a suggestion to kill the Chen family.

You should know that in the state, corruption is not a problem. Dismissal, dismissal, fined, and recovered stolen goods. This is basically over. To be more severe, add one: no imperial examination is allowed within three generations. This can abolish any civil servant family.

But if you want to convict a senior official of the second rank, it is not enough. The Shangshu who fails to fight for power and is imprisoned, beheaded, confiscated, or exiled. There is absolutely no greed - the Shangshu who is imprisoned. The game of power has its own operating rules.

However, if the Chen family committed a crime that was to block the court's disaster relief and destroy the stability of Huainan, the crime would be a big deal. You can explain it as being obsessed with profit. But what would the emperor and the emperor in the temple think?

We finally managed to handle the situation well, without public chaos. But you, Chen Gaolang, ignore the overall situation?

What else is there to create chaos in the people, what do you want to do? Do you rebel?

What is the consequence, you can tell without asking.

Ning Ru knew that Jia Huan was very good at power and conspiracy, and this was obvious when rescuing Zhang Anbo in the capital. He also revealed the news to Jia Huan at that time. However, he did not expect that Jia Huan had such a level.

Amazing!

Don’t think that this is a simple “fraudulent accusation”. This kind of vision can only be said to be the level of officialdom. Instead, we must look at Jia Ziyu’s operation from the overall overall situation.

First, when Wei Hong was in a "reasonable" position because of his contribution to disaster relief and was naturally supported by public opinion in the government and the government, what happened to Chen Gaolang, who was against him? There are probably two words that popped up in everyone's mind: guilt.

This is to plot against Chen Gaolang until he died. You personally gave the memorial? Isn’t it faked you? No one forced you?

Wei Hong and Chen Gaolang and other civil officials attacked each other, which was well documented in the court. The memorials of ministers will be kept archived by Tongzhengsi.

The evidence is conclusive! irrefutable.

Second, although today Zi is willing to vent his anger for his beloved concubine, one thing needs to be clear: the emperor is naturally a political animal. If you are angry with the beauty, it is mostly a foolish monarch who can do it. Today Zi is not. He can vent his anger for his own women, but the premise is that it does not affect the political structure and interests.

If you look up a second-rank Shangshu, you will find a certain charter.

However, when Wei Hong is indeed guilty, the emperor will be happy to investigate whether he or she will not care. He will definitely think that Concubine Jia’s complaint is correct. This will reduce the subsequent bad impact on Concubine Jia to the extreme.

How could he not be surprised at such an officialdom level?

Ning Ru restrained her surprised expression, sighed in her heart, and said, "I understand. Don't worry, Ziyu."

Jia Huan nodded quietly.

Ning Ru saw that Jia Huan was still a little excited, and felt a loving heart in her heart. Of course, he could not sympathize with Chen Gaolang. He immediately advised: "Ziyu, love is deep but not long." He smiled and said: "I had a banquet at home, but Miss Shishi wanted to sit by your side and bully you for your youth. However, the boys back then already knew the taste of love."

When he was in Yangzhou, he heard some rumors. Tu Jiansheng collected it for him.

"..." Jia Huan was speechless and a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to refute Mr. Longjiang. He and Aunt Pei were innocent. After chatting for a few words, he said goodbye and left.

A few days later, Jia Huan ordered Yuanbo to take someone to send Aunt Pei's coffin back to Suzhou for burial. Death is the greatest, and the peace is the best. He was in Jinling, quietly waiting for the ending.

The justice given to Aunt Pei will not be without results, it is just late.

…

At the end of September and early October, Ning Ruduo reviewed the Jinling grain case in Jinling City. The number of people involved was large. People were arrested from time to time, including the Chen family's followers: Baping, Pi Jingye and others. Even the Imperial College Priest Wen You were invited by the Jinyiwei to the imperial envoy for more than an hour. He was close to the Chen family.

The old ecology of the Jinling officialdom was broken like a destruction. The hottest official in Jinling is Wei Hong. But the biggest mountain is: Zhang Anbo, the Minister of Rites.

Because, fools know that Wei Hong, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing, will be promoted soon. (To be continued.)8
