Chapter 460 Tangchun: My mother treats me as if I were her own
Rongguo Mansion
Since Jia She and his son were taken away by the inner guards, the huge Duke's mansion suddenly fell into panic and chaos, but there were various undercurrents lurking underneath.
Can the title be kept?
This question suddenly appeared on Jia Mu's desk.
It was impossible for Jia Mu to completely give up her idea just because of Jia Heng's righteous words.
Needless to say, Jia Mu later discovered that there was no one working in an official capacity in the Rongguo Mansion. This discovery made her very frightened when she thought about it.
Therefore, Jia Mu is determined to keep this title!
The courtyard where Mrs. Wang lives is brightly lit, and several figures are projected on the screen, drinking tea and talking.
But it was Mrs. Wang who had finished her dinner and specially summoned Tanchun and Yuanchun to talk to her in the wing of her house.
Two girls, one in a yellow skirt and the other in a pink skirt, were illuminated by orange lights, with golden hairpins and jewelry shining in all kinds of ways.
"Three girls, you have become more and more mature in the past two years." Mrs. Wang sat on the bed and looked at the girl sitting beside her, with a gentle motherly smile on her face. She held Tanchun's hand and talked about home affairs.
Tanchun couldn't figure out Mrs. Wang's intention for a moment, so he just responded obediently.
Mrs. Wang immediately asked: "Why didn't you go to Dongfu?"
Tan Chun shook his head gently. After hearing this, the shrewd girl guessed at least half of the meaning, and said softly: "In the afternoon, I went to see Sister-in-law Feng with my eldest sister and sister Yun."
Mrs. Wang's face paused, and she sighed: "Now, your uncle and Brother Lian have a problem like this. It's hard for her. I went to your uncle's house in the afternoon to discuss how to get a baby."
The idea is to see if we can rescue Brother Lian, no matter what, we have to save our lives."
With the temptation of the title, Mrs. Wang went to Wang Ziteng's house as soon as possible in the afternoon. Wang Ziteng had not yet left Beijing because his granddaughter's marriage was undecided, so he discussed countermeasures with Mrs. Wang.
Tanchun's heart moved slightly and he had to ask: "What did uncle say?"
"Uncle Qi said what happened to Lian'er because he was not the main culprit, and as a son, it was difficult to resist his father's life. It was excusable. He could still survive, but the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be avoided.
I'm afraid I will be exiled from Beijing." Mrs. Wang said softly, raised her eyes to look at Tanchun, and asked: "Third girl, you have always been a knowledgeable person, what do you think?"
Tanchun lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice: "These external matters can be discussed by my wife and the old lady. I don't have any ideas."
"The old lady and I have discussed it. Although your uncle has violated the national law, the title cannot be lost no matter what. The old lady's suggestion is to give the title to Baoyu." Mrs. Wang tried her best to keep the sadness on her face, but kept a low tone.
His voice still had a rising tone that was difficult to conceal.
When Tanchun heard this, he was surprised and said: "This...Didn't my father and Brother Heng say that it's not appropriate to have Brother Cong under my uncle's knees?"
When Mrs. Wang heard the words "Brother Heng", she suppressed the sudden boredom in her heart, but then thought about it, if this was not the case, it would not be easy to talk, so she continued: "Your uncle said that according to the rules set by Taizu,
Since both father and son of the eldest master's lineage have violated the national law and become criminals, his lineage can no longer attack the lord. If the palace shows grace, it can be transferred. Your father is in front of him again.
Guan'er, Baoyu is more suitable."
Tanchun: "..."
Sure enough, I still don’t give up.
Yuanchun answered and asked: "Mom, did uncle really say that?"
"I think what your uncle said is quite reasonable. You respect your uncle in Dongfu. He was originally a nobility candidate. Later, he came from the imperial examination, but his title was passed to Brother Zhen... Besides, Ning Rong and Ning Rong served as emperors for the imperial court.
He has made a lot of great contributions, but just because he committed a crime, he cannot prevent future generations from offering incense. It is unjustifiable that the Rongguo lineage should be extinguished at this point." Mrs. Wang explained.
Yuan Chun frowned, with a look of hesitation on his plump and beautiful face, and said, "But my father and Brother Heng said before..."
Mrs. Wang's face was slightly dull, and she interrupted Yuanchun: "Your father is an upright man and feels that his reputation is not good, but the old lady and I both feel that it is the right thing to keep the title of our ancestors. This is related to Rongguo."
As for Cong'er, I told his mother that from now on, she will be raised by a serious young master in the house. It's no big deal if she is raised under my knees. In addition, the old lady also said that she will go to the palace to beg for help tomorrow.
The empress of the two palaces, there is no way I can ask for any favor."
In fact, Mrs. Wang's version of the "Plan to Save the Rongguo Title", which had been "tactically guided" by Wang Ziteng, could not have been carried out alone. It had the secret support of Jia's mother.
Since Jia Heng is unwilling to contribute, Jia Mu will not sit still and wait for death.
Yuanchun sighed softly and said: "My ancestor, she is still working on this matter when she is a long time old."
"There is still something to do now, Brother Heng. He is in the royal family in the palace. As long as he says a word, the Lord will give him face." Mrs. Wang whispered, and was silent for a moment, and said: "But Brother Heng
Son, I was also heartbroken by your uncle at the beginning, and I was also arguing with your uncle about your father's affairs not long ago. Now I am probably still holding my anger in my heart, and it seems that I don't intend to take care of it."
In her opinion, as the clan leader, she naturally has to consider the clan's long-term considerations. How could she throw away a good title just because she was angry for a moment?
When Yuan Chun heard this, he bit his lips. He clearly felt that the words were a bit unpleasant and said, "Brother Heng is very open-minded. That's not what he thinks."
"Mother knows that he has a lot of energy. It's your uncle who is making such a big fuss." Mrs. Wang's face paused and she said quickly.
Yuanchun pursed his lips and was speechless for a moment.
After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she turned to look at Tanchun aside, took the girl's little hand, and asked: "Third girl, how do you treat me every day?"
When Yuanchun heard this, she frowned tightly, her lips quivered, and she wanted to say something, but finally it turned into a sigh in her heart, she picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea without saying a word.
When Tanchun heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly, she raised her charming face and said, "My mother has always treated me as her own child."
"Sigh... Now you have seen, third girl, that Baoyu does not like to study. I am very angry about this matter. If I can have a title, I will have less to worry about in the future, and you brothers and sisters can also take care of me.
." Mrs. Wang said, looked at Yuanchun and said: "This afternoon, I went to your uncle's house and met your sister-in-law. Their family's affairs with Zi'er are probably settled."
When Wang Zi was mentioned, Mrs. Wang looked at Yuan Chun again, her thoughts becoming more complicated.
Her daughter had gone to the palace first back then, and if it hadn't been for the obstruction by Uncle Heng... now, it would have been feasible for her to become the royal concubine, but instead her brother's daughter had come from behind.
Tanchun lowered his head slightly and remained silent.
Mrs. Wang took Tanchun's hand again and said softly: "Three girls, my mother also knows your difficulties. You and your brother Heng are closer than brothers and sisters. If you can persuade your brother Heng, maybe she will listen.
I just want to see if I can let Baoyu attack the jue. No matter how Baoyu attacks the jue, he will still be under his control in the future."
Tanchun thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then I'll talk to Brother Heng."
How should she persuade her to do this? Let her agree first, and then just mention it tomorrow.
Yuan Chun shook his head secretly, feeling a little uncomfortable. His mother did not allow him to intervene now, but let his third sister persuade Hengdi.
…
…
At the same time, Sister Feng's courtyard was lit by lights like beans and candles. Because Sister Feng was in a bad mood, she only lit one candle. Perhaps the darkness gave her a sense of security.
"Grandma, let's have something to eat." Ping'er lifted the curtain and entered the side room, holding a porcelain bowl filled with white fungus and lotus seed porridge, and handed it over.
Sister Feng was lying on her side on the bed at the moment, with a white towel covering her forehead. Her formerly bright and charming face was stained with tears and looked pale and weak.
Sister Feng was also a little hungry now. She got up slowly, took the porridge bowl, held the spoon, and stirred absentmindedly.
"Grandma, didn't Uncle Heng and Grandma Heng say that the second master should not be in danger of his life? If he is exiled, and if there is an amnesty, he will come back one day." Ping'er said with relief.
Sister Feng's expression paused and she asked, "Where's the title? It's probably impossible to keep the title."
Ping'er looked around and said in a low voice: "Grandma, I heard that the old lady and my wife are busy trying to keep their title. They are planning to go to the palace early tomorrow morning to ask for grace."
Hearing this, Sister Feng paused with the spoon in her hand and put the porridge bowl on the small table aside. She frowned, raised her haggard face, and asked, "What do you mean by the title? Who are you going to give it to?"
Ping'er shook his head and said: "Who else do you think it should be given to, grandma? It's probably going to be Baoyu. There's still room for discussion on this matter."
When Sister Feng heard this, her expression changed and she felt unhappy.
But she couldn't find any reason to refute it, because she had no heirs and wanted to ask the old lady for help, but there was nowhere to turn.
But it took such a long time but there was no heir, so it was a pain in her heart. It was like killing a thousand swords.
"If I have an heir now, I can ask Dongfu to ask for grace from the palace, and I can keep my title." Sister Feng couldn't help but say, her heart getting more and more irritable.
Ping'er sighed: "It's useless for grandma to say these things now. Now that things are coming, we can't change one."
When Sister Feng heard this, Danfeng narrowed her eyes, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, if she could borrow...
But when she thought about it, Sister Feng's heart skipped a beat. How could she have such unruly thoughts? And she still begged that person?
The key is, it seems like there is no need to rush.
In the blink of an eye, he saw Ping'er and had some ideas in his mind.
No matter what, I'd better ask a host to ask about it in the next two days.
…
…
It was just five o'clock in the morning, it was dawning, and there were still scattered raindrops floating in the sky. Jia Heng, accompanied by the guards of Jinyi Mansion, left the house and went to Daming Palace to check in at the military aircraft office.
The duty room of the Military Aircraft Department is located in the side hall of Wuying Hall to the west of Hanyuan Hall, so that the emperor can summon the military ministers at any time to consult on military and state affairs.
Jia Heng entered the room and happened to see Shi Jie, the minister of the Ministry of War, Zhong Hangmin, the official of the Military Selections and Cleaning Division, Shi Shu, the official of the Ministry of War, and the two chief officers of the Ministry of War.
According to the original system planned by Jia Heng for the Military Aircraft Department, each of the five military aircraft ministers recommended two to three people to serve as military aircraft drivers and support military aircraft in preparation for Emperor Chongping's selection.
The two military pilots recommended by the King of Beijing at the time were Liu Fang, the former military governor, and Shi Guangzhu, the former military governor.
The prince of Nan'an County recommended Hou Xiaokang, the commander-in-chief of the rear army, and Ma Shang, the general of Weiyuan.
Jia Heng recommended Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, and Shi Shu.
Shi Jie recommended two heads of the Ministry of War, one named Luo Changxian and the other Zhao Xinrong.
In addition, Emperor Chongping specially ordered Mu Sheng, the governor of the left army governor's office, and Jin Xiaoyu, the general manager of the right army governor's office, namely Dongping and Xining, to be sent to the military aircraft department.
In the Military Aircraft Department, there are also several civil servants such as Ling Shi, Zhang Gu, Shu Ling Shi, etc. for dispatch.
The Military Aircraft Department at this moment is probably a composite organization formed by the Ministry of War and the five military governors' offices. It is still somewhat far from what Jia Heng has in mind.
But we can also understand the difficulties of Emperor Chongping.
Because no matter how they move around, they can't get around these nobles who are in charge of the soldiers. Only by allowing these people to show their talents and show their full ugliness in the war against the captives can the emperor clean up his party members and generals one by one.
"Ziyu." Jia Heng had just sat down when he heard a greeting coming from behind.
Shi Ding came in on the back foot and handed the cowhide bag he carried with him to Ling Shi who was standing aside. Then he sighed to Jia Heng: "It has been rainy and rainy these past few days, and my cold legs are starting to hurt again."
Jia Heng said: "Shibo, if you feel unwell, you can go to the imperial hospital to see the imperial doctor."
"It's an old problem. It's still the root cause of the disease that originated in the northwest." Shi Ding said as he sat down behind the case.
At this time, Shi Jie left the case and walked towards Jia Heng. Because he had been on duty for three days, his eyes were obviously bloodshot, but his voice could not conceal his excitement. He said: "Zi Yu, the commander of the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army."
The urgent military information sent from the government and the provinces urgently needs to be reviewed and signed. This is the official seal of the Military Aircraft Department. It is used to seal official documents. It is handed over to the Ministry of War for sealing and is sent to all provinces by post."
Jia Heng nodded and took the official seal of the Military Aircraft Department. This seal did not belong to an individual, but to the emperor, and was called by the military ministers in turn.
According to the regulations he planned for the Military Aircraft Department, whenever a war broke out in the four borders, a military aircraft minister would be required to stay on duty for three days to deal with sudden military emergencies. Every morning, the entire class of military aircraft would be on duty.
You need to enter the value room and discuss military affairs with the emperor.
It's just a trial run at the moment, and no war has broken out, but Shi Jie is already on duty.
As for court mails, in Jia Heng's vision, they are all matters such as "the emperor admonishes his ministers, gives instructions on strategies, checks political affairs, and punishes those who are inappropriate in punishment." The functions and powers are comparable to those of the cabinet. It can be said that this is what he has set for himself.
...the way to become a minister without passing the imperial examination.
But now it is limited to military affairs and war, and is not allowed to exceed half of the Leichi.
Currently, all confidential and important matters related to the military and state are sent by the Military Aircraft Department to the officials who should receive and implement the edict, so it is also called "sending edicts". According to the priority of the affairs, they are sent from three hundred miles to
Six hundred miles express delivery.
Any major national decrees that should be known to both Chinese and foreign subjects, such as the announcement of the emperor's inspection tour, visit to the mausoleum, relief work, the dismissal of middle-level and superior officials, and other matters, are issued by the cabinet and are called "mingfa edicts", or
It is said that "the cabinet entrusts the edict" and "the cabinet entrusts the decree", which are also the original powers of the cabinet.
At present, because the two kings of Nan'an and Beijing are out of Beijing to inspect the border, the Military Aircraft Department has been established, and all personnel are not yet fully prepared, Shi Jie can almost be said to have taken over the major military affairs.
How could this level of power be comparable to that of the former left minister of the Ministry of War?
Although he did not enter the cabinet, he could write secret edicts and special orders according to Emperor Chongping's wishes, almost like a cabinet minister.
No wonder he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
Jia Heng sat behind the desk, took out the official document from the corner of the desk, and began to review it as if no one else was watching.
The first letter was an urgent military message from the governor of Guizhou. The chieftain of Guizhou was in rebellion and unstable, and asked the central government for advice.
Shi Jie, the minister of the Ministry of War, had already drawn up the strategy, and he signed a counter-signature to deal with it, which was finally handed over to the emperor for decision.
The second letter was sent by Lu Qi, the governor of Shandong. Regarding the remnants of the White Lotus Sect showing signs of activity in Xiafu County, Shandong, and traveling to Su Province, please send official documents to suppress the bandits.
Jia Heng formulated his opinions and then sealed the letter.
As time passed, other military aircraft drivers also came to the duty room and sat down one after another.
Liu Fang sat down and looked at the young man who was dealing with military affairs in the main hall. His face was ugly and his mood was as dark as the weather outside.
Because he has gradually discovered that with the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department, the original authority of the Five Army Governor's Office has been greatly usurped, and it is like an empty shell. All Han military affairs, baggage, and garrison must be gathered into the Military Aircraft Department, and then the emperor will give orders.
It can almost be said that Emperor Chongping has used the Military Aircraft Department to combine the forces of Wu Xun and civilian officials, and the edicts he proposed can basically be implemented. Of course, personnel struggles will still exist, but they are limited to the Military Aircraft Department. This is undoubtedly a solid
step.
Jia Heng quickly dealt with military affairs documents, sorted them into categories, and handed over the history of orders to various departments. It was already half noon.
Until Dai Quan called and the emperor summoned him, Jia Heng left the duty room and went to the study room in the Daming Palace.
