Qingchengfang is close to the root of the imperial city. Most officials in Beijing will buy real estate here because Dayan's early dynasty system is too confusing... If they live too far away from the imperial city, they will
When I had my son, I got up and rushed to the imperial city!
Therefore, most of the officials in Beijing live in places like Qingchenfang and Jinggongfang, which are under the imperial city. It goes without saying that the housing prices here are not worth mentioning. Every inch of land costs no more than enough.
!
Of course, being able to live here is not something you can do if you have money. You have to be qualified to live here! The home of Shangguan Yi, the leader of the new party and the chief minister of the new party, is here. Of course, he did not buy it with his own money.
The housing price, as far as Shang Guanyi is concerned, is that even if you work for another hundred years, you won't be able to buy a hut...
This place was given to Shangguan Yi by Emperor Yongxi. In fact, few people living nearby can afford to buy a house here...
Living in Jingcheng, it’s not easy, even Bai Juyi was so worried about changing his name. You should be able to think about how difficult it is for officials in Jingcheng.
However, not all officials in the capital have an easy life. In the eyes of important ministers like Shangguan Yi and Yang Jirong, the leader of the old party, there is no such problem at all. When they reach their status, money is really just a string to them.
Just numbers.
And some middle-level officials mainly rely on one word (everything they know). After all, they have reached the level of Beijing officials. They don't even need to open their mouths, and the people below will get things done beautifully!
So the real embarrassment was for the low-level officials. No one took them seriously, and the money they earned was not enough to live in the capital with dignity, so they naturally lived in embarrassment.
This is also the reason why the early dynasty was abolished in the later Hongzhi and Yongxi dynasties. The real difficulties of this system were only low-level officials like them.
The layout of the capital is rich in the east, noble in the west, poor in the south, and humble in the north. They can only afford to live in houses in the south city or the north city, and they are far away from the imperial city. If they go to the morning court every day, they will get up and rush to the imperial city when they really have a child.
!
Therefore, after the Hongzhi Dynasty, we rarely went to the morning court. After the Yongxi Dynasty, we only visited the morning court once.
Therefore, it is said that the officials in the capital who are somewhat powerful cannot afford to live in a house, except for those "honest officials" and true scholars who truly advocate frugality.
Although Shangguan Yi does not fall into one of the two categories, his life is not actually luxurious. Even though he lives in a large house, he actually does not spend money like water. At least judging from the house where he lives, he only has a lot of money.
It is full of literary and ink style, and there is no hint of wealth and wealth in it.
His character is far from being as serious as Zhou Huan's in facing up to his own desires and truly not taking pleasure in things or feeling sad about himself, so he actually deliberately avoids those things.
It is enough to provide enough for one's own family, and in addition, one has to support one's dignity as the first assistant to the outside world, so it is neither extravagant nor shabby.
If we distinguish the disciples of famous religions by saints, true Confucians, Confucian scholars, and pseudo-Confucians, Shangguan Yi probably belongs to the realm of true Confucianism. After all, Zhou Huan's troubled life experience and wisdom are difficult to replicate...
.....
But it doesn’t mean that Shangguan Yi is worse than Zhou Huan. Zhou Huan was too famous, but Emperor Yongxi didn’t dare to use the rat weapon. But Shangguan Yi is different. Not only his character is great, but his ability is also incredible!
He also understands that official circles are like flies and dogs, but he can stick to his true intentions. Who doesn't like such a minister? Shangguan Yi is different from Gao Xi, who is famous for his loyalty and steadfastness. He doesn't care about his reputation or what Emperor Yongxi does. He only cares about his reputation. What I care about is whether I can let the people in the world live a good life!
As long as you can make everyone fed and clothed, I don't care even if everyone in the world calls me a traitor! You, Emperor Yongxi, can do whatever you want, as long as you can make everyone live a good life!
Therefore, Shangguan Yi was a very admirable chief assistant, which may be the reason why Emperor Yongxi promoted him to be his chief assistant.
It is for this reason that almost everyone in the court is very convinced of Shangguan Yi. Even Yang Jirong, the leader of the old party, only criticized the radical reform methods of the new party rather than having any dissatisfaction with Shangguan Yi himself.
Not to mention the New Party, Shangguan Yi is the undisputed leader of the New Party. No, it should be said that Shangguan Yi will soon become the leader of the entire imperial court!
As the Supreme Emperor fell seriously ill and fell into coma, it was about time for Long to control Bintian. Hong Zhi's senior ministers finally could not withstand the pressure from Emperor Yongxi, not to mention the ever-present "care" from the New Party. No one could It is clear that it is only a matter of time before the old party becomes weak or even completely withdraws from the stage of history!
Under such circumstances, Shangguan Yi is naturally even more popular. Shangguan Yi's residence in Qingchengfang is bustling with traffic all the time. Even Shangguan Yi's fourteen-year-old daughter has become the "dream goddess" sought after by countless people. ”.
However, most of them are on the same side as Shangguan Yi. Shangguan Yi has also long ago ordered his family members not to see anyone who comes to ask for help, support or defection. Therefore, except for acquaintances, Shangguan Mansion never sees anyone. Let strangers in.
If you don't let go, that's your business, what does it have to do with us people? Obviously, since the allusion of Cheng Menlixue, they all firmly believe in the principle of "sincerity leads to gold and stone".
Even though it was already dark, they continued to wait with lanterns under their hands. Unexpectedly, a carriage passed directly by them and stopped at the gate of Shangguan Mansion.
Everyone stared with wide eyes and saw Chen Xing hurriedly getting down from the carriage. What was strange was that this time Chen Xing actually trotted towards the Shangguan Mansion. Even when his foot hit the threshold, he only felt pain. After a while, he jumped on one foot and walked quickly inside with the help of the door.
Those people suddenly started to have a blazing fire of eating melons!
"Did you see who it was?"
"It seems to be Chen Xing, Minister of the Ministry of War!"
"Master Chen? Is it true or false? Ouch! Then this thing looks quite big!"
"Isn't it because something happened to Jiubian?"
"Hey! You are so ignorant!"
"My younger brother is from Jingchu, so he really doesn't know much about Shenjing City."
"Let me tell you! If something really happened to the Nine Borders, they would send a three-feather express and ride a starry night horse straight into the palace! Before the Minister of War got the military information, the Jingyang Bell would have rung! Call all the officials in Beijing The discussion, so it won’t be nine sides!”
"Then what do you think it is?"
"This...is not a big deal after all! Tsk tsk!"
The people on the side cursed in their hearts, why are you farting? The Minister of the Ministry of War came in the night and hurriedly looked for the chief minister, thinking on his knees that it couldn't be a trivial matter!
It is indeed not a trivial matter. Even Chen Xing has not yet recovered from the shock when he first saw this imperial edict. As close ministers of Emperor Yongxi, they almost all know that Emperor Yongxi is a very suspicious emperor, and he is not the kind to start when his brain gets hot.
The emperor is fooling around, but just because of this is enough to prove how close and trusting he is!
If Jia Jing is not regarded as his own son, then there must be other considerations to give such an order to Jia Jing!
Because this imperial edict is almost telling Jia Jing: "You can kill with all your heart! Tonight, as long as you kill to feel happy and to relieve your anger, you can be as stubborn as you like!"
Chen Xing is now thinking about banging his head against the Xuanwu Gate! Now when he thinks of Jia Jing's fearless temper that day, and her violent temper, Chen Xing is so panicked that he can even raise his tea cup and tremble!
Shangguan Yi also frowned tightly. He didn't understand Emperor Yongxi's intention of doing this, but he was not particularly panicked.
Because he knows one thing: Jia Jing is not as violent as everyone seems on the surface, he is actually a very cautious young man!
Since Jia Jing was born, almost everyone's impression of him is that he is violent and strong. But in fact, as long as you carefully observe what Jia Jing does, you will find that in fact, everything Jia Jing does has a certain degree of control.
Excellent, so Shangguan Yi feels that even this time Jia Jing will definitely grasp the degree... right?
An idea flashed in Shangguan Yi's mind, and then he said to Chen Xing without changing his expression: "Qisheng, don't be impatient." Chen Xing widened his eyes and said, "Aren't you in a hurry? Lingdu, when I came, Dai Quan had already gone to Ningguo.
The government has announced the decree! I am in charge of this military order and I haven’t arrived at the Yulin Army camp yet! If you don’t rush, will you really watch Jia Jing lead his troops into Beijing? How can this be true from ancient times to the present?"
Shangguan Yi sighed and said: "There is no need to be anxious, just wait patiently for the news, there are people... who are more anxious than us."
Chen Xingdao: "Who? The old party or Hong Zhixun? They want Jia Jing to go crazy! Even if the people from the old party send people, do they still want your majesty to take back his life? They..." Shangguan Yi said.
He said: "Then we are enough to make His Majesty take back his life?"
Chen Xing was speechless. Although the New Party is now powerful, in the final analysis, the New Party still relies on the emperor's favor and authority to do things. Even if they break away from Emperor Yongxi in the future, they cannot blatantly oppose Emperor Yongxi! Otherwise, that is
court death!
Shangguan Yi sighed and said: "Your Majesty has made up his mind on this matter, so there is no room for us to speak. If you don't believe me, just wait for the news!"
The two of them were talking when they saw Shangguan Yi's butler walking in and saying, "Master, there was a message from the front that Master Ning is here."
Before the old housekeeper finished speaking, he saw Shu Ning, the Minister of Civil Affairs, walking straight in. When he saw Chen Xing inside, he was stunned and said: "You came here quickly!"
Chen Xing stood up quickly and said, "How's it going?" Ning smiled and blinked and said, "What's going on?"
Chen Xing said anxiously: "What else can there be!" Ning Zhi smiled and shook his head and sat down and said: "What else can we do? Liu Changweng and the others are crying and admonishing at this time!"
Chen Xing's eyes widened and he said, "Cry and remonstrate?!"
