Chapter 438 Jia Heng: Sister, let me look at the golden lock again
Jia Heng had a conversation with Qu Lang, and after reading the official document, he left the Jinyi Mansion and planned to return to the Wucheng Military and Horse Division. When he saw the King of Wei, he came on horseback with several guards and retinues. It seemed that he had just arrived.
After dinner, we went to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department to check in.
When the King of Wei saw Jia Heng from a distance, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He got off his horse, gave the horse's reins to the guard on the side, and asked, "Brother Jia, what a coincidence."
Jia Heng looked at the person coming, his heart moved, he got off his horse, smiled, and said: "Your Highness, King Wei, did you just have dinner?"
When King Wei saw the smile on Jia Heng's face, he was overjoyed. A smile appeared on his face and he asked, "Xiao Wang has just had lunch and is going to work in the Yamen. Is Brother Jia just leaving the court?"
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Your Majesty summoned the cabinet ministers, military aircraft asked, and stayed in the palace for a while. His Highness the King of Wei did not attend the court meeting?"
Among these princes, he only met the King of Chu just now. Of course, he originally asked this intentionally.
The king of Wei was handsome, but his fair face was indeed a bit embarrassed. He smiled and said: "Xiao Wang has just opened his palace, and he is not qualified to go to the palace to observe."
I don’t know if it was due to the opening of the palace during this period. The prince understood that it is good to be at home for a thousand days, but everything is difficult to do when going out, and his mentality seems to have been corrected a lot.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "With your highness's qualifications, given time, you will definitely be able to hear about state affairs."
The reason why he was interested in the King of Wei and his good looks was naturally because he had other motives, and it was certainly not his friend's mother.
Well, maybe my friend's aunt is more or less the same.
"Last time I heard His Highness Xianning say that His Highness the King of Wei is going to open a palace and get married?" Jia Heng asked casually.
The King of Wei smiled and said: "The Ministry of Rites and the Queen Mother have already confirmed the name of this matter. At that time, Brother Jia was invited to the palace for a banquet. By the way, Brother Jia doesn't know where the palace is built yet, right?"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I really don't know. I'll let you know when the prince moves to his new house."
The smile on King Wei's face became even brighter, and he repeatedly said: "It must be true."
He secretly thought, today, the sun is shining in the west? Jia Ziyu, who was originally so polite to him, is actually so kind to him?
I heard that Jia Ziyu has become the Minister of Military and Aircraft, is in charge of the palace, and is in charge of the privy council, so he needs to be carefully won over.
Jia Heng thought for a while and said softly: "Your Highness has now married and established a career. From now on, he will always cherish the thoughts of his family, country and the world."
The king of Wei looked calm and said hurriedly: "What Brother Jia said is true. Xiao Wang has learned a lesson."
Xu was in a good mood due to Jia Heng's encouragement (fooling), and started talking: "Speaking of which, the list of relatives in the Ministry of Rites is still a relative of your family. At that time, I hope Ziyu will take more care of him."
Jia Heng, however, pretended to be surprised and asked, "What does your highness mean by this?"
The king of Wei smiled and said: "The prince of the county is controlled by the Taiwei of the old capital, and he has been married to your mansion for generations. Why doesn't Ziyu understand his meaning?"
Maybe he will be related to the Jia family by marriage in the future, and the King of Wei will now address him much more cordially.
Jia Heng frowned, looking hesitant, as if he was about to speak.
King Wei's face paused slightly, and there was a murmur in his heart, and he asked in surprise: "Zi Yu, is there something wrong somewhere?"
Jia Heng sighed and said: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, Wang Ziteng and I have many political differences, but he is also quite talented. It is feasible for Your Highness to marry him."
When King Wei heard this, he frowned, his heart trembled, and he asked anxiously: "Aren't the two families of King Jia and King Jia related by marriage?"
Jia Heng said: "Although we are related by marriage, we may not necessarily have the same political views. Of course, these are old matters. It is not good to talk about them, lest you insult His Highness."
In one sentence, King Wei's thoughts were ups and downs, so he didn't want to ask more questions, so he had to write down the matter secretly.
Jia Heng said something, changed the subject, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this is not the place to speak. Please come to the office."
What this kind of chat wants is that the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. On the contrary, it is difficult to take the matter seriously and the traces are too heavy.
King Wei nodded, stretched out his hand to invite, and said: "Please."
The words were divided into two parts. Han Huang, the Second Assistant to the Cabinet and Minister of Civil Affairs, left the Daming Palace. Instead of sitting in a sedan, he got into a carriage. He opened the curtain of the sedan and went in. His face was a bit gloomy.
Yan Hong had been waiting for him in the carriage for a long time. As the driver waved his whip, the carriage turned and drove through the bluestone road of Shenjing City.
Yan Hong asked in a low voice: "Brother, what does the emperor mean?"
Han Huang looked indifferent and whispered: "What else can I mean? But we still have to use checks and balances."
It's like being teased by a goddess with exquisite tea skills, and you don't have any resentment when you look back. How is it possible?
However, Han Huang's palace was extremely deep. He simply said a word, his face was as indifferent as ice, and he no longer had any resentment.
Another day I have to greet him cheerfully.
Yan Hong frowned and said in a low voice: "When Bo Jian joins the cabinet, our Zhejiang people become more popular, and when Qi Yanxuan joins the cabinet, it seems that the Holy One is preparing to replace Mr. Yang Ge."
Zhao Mo, whose courtesy name was Bo Jian, was also from Zhejiang.
Han Huang's face was gloomy, he let out a long sigh and said: "The Holy Will is unpredictable and difficult to predict."
As a cabinet minister who has served Emperor Chongping for ten years, I have long been accustomed to the emperor's power. You can understand it as a check and balance, or you can understand it as appeasement.
Yan Hong pondered for a while and said: "The most urgent task in the capital right now is the Beijing Police. Xu Deqing's attack this time is so powerful that even the Jinyi Mansion detectives have to be used. I'm afraid we won't be able to avoid this person if we want to plan big things."
The Beijing Police Department has always been a powerful weapon in party struggles to exclude dissidents, especially the Zhejiang Party, which is in charge of the official department. It dominates the entire process and can be used to attack the entire Party at any time.
"Xu Lu is an unkind person. There was a dispute with him last time when the inspection period was determined. We need to do a better job of cleaning up all the bugs in the party," Han Huang said.
Yan Hong nodded, wrote down the matter, and asked: "Brother, there is a vacancy in Jingzhao Prefecture. I wonder who the Lord wants."
The Zhejiang Party has naturally aimed at this position, and the sacred city of Jingzhao is filled with dignitaries, but the governor of Jingzhao has always been a springboard for further progress.
Han Huang said: "The Holy One has the intention of transferring the young minister of Dali Temple and the young minister of Taichang Temple to fill the post. The King of Chu is also planning to take this position recently."
"King of Chu?" Yan Hong pondered for a while and said in a deep voice: "He is a vassal king and is in charge of the Jingzhao Palace. How is this... different from establishing a prince?"
The King of Chu has always been known as a wise king among the Qing Dynasties, because he is not as dissolute as the King of Qi, and he is polite to the scholars. However, the people of Zhejiang still have a good impression of him because of Liu Zhenggu, the scholar in charge of the Hanlin Academy, but
There is no deep connection.
Han Huang's eyes were dark and he said in a low voice: "In the former Song Dynasty, Jingzhao and Luoyang were mostly under the control of the vassal king. The King of Wei went to the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities to observe the government. The King of Chu wanted to transfer him from the Ministry of War to the Treasury Department to the capital.
The omen may not come true. It is said that in the past few years, the Eastern Palace has been empty, and the country's foundation is uncertain, which is not a blessing to the country."
Emperor Chongping did not train his sons like pigs. Although he restricted some key positions, he also gave others a great deal of autonomy.
Yan Hong said: "The foundation of the country is uncertain. If things go on like this, chaos will be the way to go."
Han Huang also sighed.
…
…
As the Beijing inspection kicked off in the sacred city of Jing, Wu Xun left the capital to inspect the border, and the capital was suddenly in a state of chaos and chaos.
As for the Wuxun Group, except for Niu Jizong, who served as the Governor of the Fifth Army and went to Henan Province on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, there was not much movement.
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Jia Heng sent Yuanchun to the eldest princess's house in Jinyang. In the next few days, he traveled between the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities, Jinyi Mansion, and Jingying to handle official duties. He was busy with the restructuring of Jinyi Mansion and the supervision and training of Jingying.
All kinds of things, plus checking in to the military aircraft office, which happens every five days, gradually made me feel a little bit busy without even touching the ground.
I had no choice but to occasionally go to the eldest princess's house in Jinyang to comfort the beautiful lady's lovesickness.
Time flies by and before you know it, it’s the twentieth of the first lunar month, and the twenty-first is Baochai’s birthday.
Rongqingtang
At half noon, Jia's mother, accompanied by Feng Wan, Yuanyang and Mrs. Wang, talked with Shi Ding's daughter-in-law who was visiting.
Yingchun, Tanchun, Xiangyun, and Daiyu were staying by the side.
I just heard Shi Ding's daughter-in-law say with a smile: "Madam, my master has said that he wants to invite Brother Heng to a drink these days, but Brother Heng doesn't know whether he doesn't like to socialize or is too busy. He said that these days
I don’t even have time.”
Jia Mu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether we drink or not. I heard that both of them have joined the military aircraft department now and are very busy with state affairs. They usually have more opportunities to talk."
Mrs. Wang was sitting aside, with an indifferent expression, holding the Buddhist beads in her sleeve, quietly listening to Shi Ding's wife's words, feeling irritable in her heart.
Her brother mentioned the day before yesterday that he originally wanted to go to the military aircraft office, but Uncle Heng didn't respond. Now he can only go to Beiping Mansion. I heard that there is a direct confrontation with the Tatars, and it is easy to make a comeback, but there are also dangers.
Shi Ding's daughter-in-law smiled and said: "What the old lady said is that the two of them can take care of each other as they serve as servants to the emperor."
My dear... these are words of intimacy.
Jia Mu smiled and said, "As relatives, you should take care of yourself."
A few people chatted and laughed for a while, and Sister Feng said with a smile: "Old lady, Miss Bao will give birth tomorrow. The old lady said how to celebrate. This is the first baby that Miss Bao has given birth to since she came to Beijing."
Jia Mu said with a smile: "Twenty taels from my monthly salary will be used to hire a troupe for her, and then we will buy a banquet and make it lively."
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "It's really a waste of money for the old lady."
Although the Xue family was not short of that little money, it was Jia Mu's good intention and it was hard to refuse.
As Jia Mu said this, she looked at Daiyu and the others in surprise and asked, "Where's Bao Yatou?"
The smile on Aunt Xue's face froze for a moment, and she sighed: "This is not Pan'er... Brother Heng said that recently there is also the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the Ministry of Personnel, what kind of Beijing Procuratorate is going to be done, even the prison of the Wucheng Military and Horse Division,
There are also people checking, and Bao Yatou went to find Brother Heng to discuss Pan'er's matter."
Jia Mu nodded, sighed, and said, "It's not easy for him to be an official outside, and he has to take care of everything inside and outside."
Shi Ding's daughter-in-law wanted to show her knowledge and said: "What the old lady is saying is that now, according to the Beijing Police, I heard that many officials will be dismissed."
Jia Mu nodded and said, "I heard from Baoyu the day before yesterday that he had such an experience."
Shi Ding's daughter-in-law whispered: "Old lady, I heard from my husband that there are many people involved in the Beijing inspection. The second master is a member of the Ministry of Industry, and he seems to be among the officials under investigation this time."
When Mrs. Wang heard this from the side, she couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart.
If her master is deposed, she and Baoyu will really be... helpless.
Thinking of this, I couldn't sit still anymore and asked quickly, "Our family is an official appointed by the palace. Isn't it different from other families?"
Shi Ding's daughter-in-law said: "Even the cabinet ministers have to submit to Chen Shu. There are no exceptions."
Jia Mu frowned and said, "Whether this is an exception or not, I'm afraid it's hard to say."
Sister Feng Danfeng blinked and asked, "Do you want to ask Brother Heng about these official matters?"
In the past few days, the house was busy building a garden, and Sister Feng was also very busy. Apart from serving and joking with Jia Mu, she rarely went to Dongfu to play cards.
Mother Jia looked at the sky outside and said, "Yuanyang, it's almost noon now. Let the kitchen prepare the food. Later you go to the East Mansion to call brother Heng over, and call the second master over for dinner."
Just when Rongqingtang was discussing Jingcha and wanted to ask Jia Heng.
Ningguo Mansion, East Wing Study Room
Under the window, behind a mahogany table with pens, inks, paper, inkstones and books, a young man wearing an azure gown sat on a dark red lacquered pear wood chair, hugging a man in a honey-colored coat and skirt, with a plump body and a beautiful face.
Beautiful girl.
Jia Heng has experienced it since that day, just like the song "Can't Put It Down", warm and soft jade, round and round jade... He didn't do anything else, just cuddling and hugging each other, talking through the east window.
Baochai's eyebrows were a little shy, especially when she felt the palpitating heat from time to time. Even through her skirt, she was still a little flustered and her body was weak. Fortunately, Jia Heng restrained himself and did not violate the rules.
On the mahogany desk, there is an interview booklet personally sent by the right deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"Brother Heng, I heard that many officials will be dismissed this time from the Beijing Inspection Bureau?" Baochai stretched out her slender hand, picked up a page from a stack of interview books, looked at the words on it, and asked with a gaze.
The sweet and warm fragrance of the girl's neck lingered under the wings of Jia Heng's nose. His face was not frivolous, and his voice was as clear and cold as gold and stone: "This time, Jingcha, Wufu, Liubu, Kedao, I don't know how many people want to
In addition to being dismissed from official positions, the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities is also included in the evaluation. The Metropolitan Procuratorate sent the interview book. I guess it is mostly the intention of Xu Lu, the censor of Zuodu."
Baochai thought about Jia Heng's words, pursed her pink lips, and asked cautiously: "Is this Mr. Xu a friend of Brother Heng?"
Jia Heng pondered and said: "We can't say we are friends. I didn't have many interactions with civil servants in the court. Xu Lu had some contacts because of Jia Zhen's murder case, and we worked together for a while."
Baochai's moist eyes flashed, and she was speechless for a moment.
Jia Heng looked into those crystal clear eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and said warmly: "Sister, if you are willing to listen, I will tell you slowly."
Baochai was still somewhat interested in official career and economics, and he also liked to talk to her, but Baochai might be wary and didn't dare to ask more questions.
Baochai said "hmm", her heart filled with sweetness, she turned around her fair-skinned face and asked, "Brother Heng seems to be unwilling to pay attention to this matter?"
Jia Heng glanced at his face as white as a pear, looked out the window, and whispered: "It can't be said that I don't want to pay attention to it, but it is inconvenient. I am Wu Xun. If I get involved too deeply, I will easily create political enemies. What's more,
Corruption in the administration of officials and thousands of horses are silent. It cannot be changed overnight. Whether the Beijing inspection will become a means of party struggle for power and profit is still unknown. We need to wait and see, otherwise we will be rashly used as a gunman without knowing it."
Refreshing the administration of officials by seeking to treat both the symptoms and the root causes requires the fearless courage to scrape the bones and cure the poison and the political responsibility to turn the blade inward.
In that information age, if we really want to find a root cause, it can actually be done.
Baochai pursed her pink lips and raised her eyes to look under the young man's resolute eyebrows. His eyes were as deep as a well, and the apricot eyes under the young girl's beautiful eyebrows sparkled, showing a hint of obsession.
Just a moment later, I suddenly felt something strange in my skirt, and my bright and moist eyes flashed, my heart beat violently for a moment, my white cheeks were already as hot as fire, and I said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, how about... you handle it
It’s official business, so I don’t want to disturb you.”
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, suppressed his ups and downs of emotions, changed the subject, and said: "Not at this moment, by the way, my sister is giving birth to a baby tomorrow, how can it be lively and lively?"
Baochai also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down and said in a low voice: "In the past years, I just had a bowl of longevity noodles with my mother. There is no need to worry about the rest."
Jia Heng smiled and said: "I guess the old lady will help you take care of the baby, and it will be more lively by then. I just don't know whether you are more lively or she is more lively."
Baochai put her head on Jia Heng's shoulder, relaxed her posture, and said softly: "The old lady likes to be lively."
Jia Heng lowered his eyes and looked down, because he was condescending. His eyes went beyond the hairpin's hairpin ring with the moon, and he could see the charming green mountains and the rising moon. His expression paused and he whispered in his ear: "Sister, let me look at Jin again."
Lock it up."
Baochai:"……"
She closed her apricot eyes slightly, neither answering nor rejecting, just letting the flowers attract the butterflies, unbuttoning the three breast buttons with great skill.
Until there was a loud clear cough from outside, Baochai was startled, got up quickly, lowered her head, and straightened the messy clothes.
The sunlight that shines through the bamboo-leaf-carved windows is chasing the stars and the moon, reflecting the dazzling whiteness between the electric lights and flints.
Jia Heng made a face and calmed down, stood up, walked to the small hall, raised his eyes and saw Yuanyang, and asked: "Yuanyang, are you coming here at this time?"
Yuanyang was wearing an emerald colored Qiya vest, her hair was tied into two pigtails with a red hair rope, her oval face with two small freckles, her beauty and beauty were not diminished at all, with a slight smile on her eyebrows, she said: "Old man
My wife has set up a meal in Rongqing Hall and asked the uncle and Miss Bao to go over. By the way, I have something to ask the uncle, hey, uncle, where is Miss Bao?"
Jia Heng nodded and said in a deep voice: "Sister Xue is reading the official documents from the Wucheng Military and Horse Prison."
After a while, Baochai slowly came out from the inner compartment. The girl had a plump figure and a graceful manner. Except for her bright pink lips, her expression was normal. She also held a book in her hand and asked with a frown: "
Sister Yuanyang is looking for me?"
Yuanyang smiled and said: "The old lady called the girl over to explain about the birth. My concubine is also there."
Baochai nodded and said softly: "That's it."
While everyone was talking, they went to Rongqing Hall.
