Jia Heng also returned from the Yamen. In fact, he did not celebrate with Jia Mu and others in the afternoon. Instead, he went to the Beijing camp to explain the training matters to the generals in the Beijing camp, and did not return until late in the evening.
When he came to the backyard room, he saw that the lights were still on. Qin Keqing was dressed in red palace clothes, sitting in front of the Kang table, concentrating on embroidering something. Today, he did not touch dominoes or mahjong.
Although Jia Heng expected him to play dominoes and mahjong last night, what happened to Baochai just happened, so he learned a lot from the pain and decided to "quit gambling".
"Husband is back?" Qin Keqing raised her face as bright as flowers and looked at Jia Heng with soft eyes like water, and said in surprise.
Jia Heng nodded, sat down nearby, and said, "You're back, what are you doing?"
Qin Keqing said softly: "It's nothing, I'm a bit unfamiliar with being a female celebrity."
At this time, Baozhu handed over a cup of tea and said: "Uncle, drink tea."
Jia Heng took the tea cup, lowered his head and took a sip. He looked curiously at the embroidery in Qin Keqing's hand and asked, "What is this embroidery for?"
"Embroidered belt for my husband." Qin Keqing said softly.
Jia Heng's expression paused, and the tea cup in his hand made a "click" sound, and he thought to himself, "What does it mean? Does it mean that his belt is too loose?"
Well, there should be no such statement at this time, obviously it was not intentional.
"Today, I heard that the second master of Xifu was promoted to an official?" Qin Keqing still lowered her head and embroidered her belt, and the beauty's voice was as soft as water.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Well, I was promoted to the General Administration Department and served as the Right General Administration. I didn't expect the staff department to move so quickly."
"Husband, the old lady must be very happy, right?" Qin Keqing asked again.
Jia Heng said softly: "I'm very happy. After the eldest master was exiled, there have been no happy events in Xifu. I think the old lady was also worried, so she can breathe a sigh of relief now."
Seeing that the young man opposite seemed to have a match, but responded nonchalantly, Qin Keqing's face was pale, and her heart felt sour. She pursed her lips, and was about to open her mouth to speak, when she suddenly felt a pain in her finger, which was clearly from an embroidery needle.
He plucked his finger, groaned in pain, and frowned.
Jia Heng put down the tea cup and asked anxiously, "What's going on? I just didn't let you embroider at night, but you still did it."
"Come, let me take a look." Jia Heng lowered his eyes and looked at Qin Keqing's slender hands. He could see blood beads oozing out from his fingers. He picked them up without thinking, put them in his mouth and sucked on them. He felt as tender as bamboo shoots, soft and smooth.
After a while, he said warmly: "Don't embroider anything at night. Your vision is unclear and it's easy to prick your hands. Instead of doing this, it's better to touch the dominoes."
When Qin Keqing heard this, he snorted, his cheeks turned crimson, and his heart felt a little sweet, and he said, "Husband, you still want me to touch the dominoes?"
After a while, he seemed to notice the silence of the young man opposite him. He looked over and said, "Husband, it's my fault."
Jia Heng took a handkerchief, wrapped it around Qin Keqing's fingers, and whispered: "Isn't it all over? Why are you still bringing up that matter?"
"My husband is angry with me, I know it." Qin Keqing said softly.
"How can I be angry?" Jia Heng asked in surprise.
In the eyes of some people in later generations, he is almost contemptible, and he is still angry?
Besides, besides feeling good about himself, he was not angry with anyone and just dealt with the matter calmly.
Qin Keqing's face was pale, her white teeth bit her pink lips, and she said a little aggrievedly: "Then why did your husband look so uninterested just now? He was also... indifferent to me."
"Why are you so indifferent? I just came back from the Beijing camp and I'm a little tired." Jia Heng explained, hugged the beauty's shoulders and chuckled: "Every day I feel like a taut bowstring. After the busy work,
It’s a good time to rest during this period.”
Qin Keqing leaned her head against Jia Heng's heart and whispered: "Husband, don't be too tired. You can go out and play or something."
Yes, my husband helped Mr. Zheng to worship his ancestors at noon, and then he didn’t stay in the house. He went to the capital camp in the afternoon, and he might have to stay on a military plane tomorrow. He was so tired, and he and Sister Xue also have a relationship...
No, why can't he find her? How can she not satisfy him?
The girl reviewed herself, thought for a while, and whispered: "Then wait a moment... I will serve my husband well."
"ha?"
Jia Heng understood immediately and whispered softly: "Okay, but you have to wait until you take a shower. You can do it by yourself. I don't want to move."
When Qin Keqing heard this, she felt her cheeks turned as red as clouds, and she hummed in agreement.
After the couple took a bath together in the side room, the water around the bathtub overflowed all over the floor, soaking the wool carpet.
The two maids, Baozhu and Ruizhu, both blushed and were cleaning up the mess. The sound of treading water just now really made the two untouched girls feel embarrassed and unable to control themselves.
"Husband just... said that he didn't want to move." Qin Keqing said angrily, with a peach-like face and charming eyes.
Just now I said I didn’t want to move, but I moved more than anyone else...
The couple got on the bed and hugged each other. The bed curtains were lowered, and a red wax candle was lit on the high table outside, giving it a faint light.
Qin Keqing put her cheek against Jia Heng's chest, her beautiful face was dizzy, and the skin below her neck showed circles of rose red, and her hair was sticking to her cheek with sweat. Her voice was still trembling, and she said: "Husband, I was talking to my father earlier.
How did we discuss it? Tell me about it."
Thinking about it, it was precisely because she didn't care much about outside things that the Xue family sister took advantage of it and came in.
"I just found a colleague from the Military Aircraft Department to help recommend my father-in-law. I'll have to look at the situation again on the day of the recommendation, but I guess there are a few people, so it won't be a big problem." Jia Heng said softly.
My wife can be said to be gentle, peaceful, and generous in dealing with people. She is also obedient in bed and curtains, good at style, and charming. However, she is limited by her boudoir knowledge and is not very knowledgeable about external matters.
Of course, this was also the era when women were influenced by the concept that virtue was due to their lack of talent.
Jia Heng thought for a while and explained: "This opportunity is very rare for my father-in-law. As for the day of the election, I am not a civil servant and cannot participate. I can only wait for the news at the military aircraft."
It's not that he can't participate in the court's recommendation, it's that he is not qualified to intervene in the court's recommendation by civil officials.
If a certain town's commander-in-chief has a vacancy, he and the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief can participate in the court nomination.
"Husband, father is getting old, isn't it?" Qin Keqing raised her head and said softly.
Jia Heng felt the richness overflowing in his palms, and said warmly: "Because of this, I want to let my father-in-law be more prosperous before he becomes an official. Besides, his official reputation, ability, and qualifications are enough to be promoted like this."
, I can be regarded as promoting talents for the country."
"Husband, I was still thinking about this matter during the day. If my father is promoted to the position of minister, will my husband be criticized?" Qin Keqing asked with worry in her voice.
Jia Heng said: "There may be some criticism, but it won't become a problem."
If his father-in-law is promoted to Minister of Industry, will he be said to have "inside information"?
Needless to say, there must be rumors, but in fact they are completely unfounded, because he did not participate in the court recommendation, and how could he, a martial artist, interfere with the decisions of those important officials who had foreseen the affairs of the court.
Qin Keqing thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "Husband, this matter requires a lot more effort than Mr. Zheng's."
Needless to say, the position of a third-grade minister affects people's minds more and makes more calculations. No wonder my husband feels tired as he talks about it. He just overthrew King Zhongshun not long ago, and now he is busy with this matter at all times.
Jia Heng sighed softly and said helplessly: "It's not that my wife likes to think wildly and is worried about the instability of her position as the head wife."
"Husband, you... are you making fun of me?" Qin Keqing was suddenly poked at by Jia Heng. She felt her cheeks were hot, and she was filled with embarrassment and embarrassment. The jade hand that was originally drawing circles on Jia Heng's body suddenly reached down and scratched it angrily.
Jia Heng.
Jia Heng hissed, grabbed the beautiful woman's slender catkin, and said: "You should be gentler, if you catch it badly, you will be the one crying."
If he is caught badly, I am afraid that Keqing will become the target of public criticism.
Qin Keqing was also panicked and said anxiously: "Are you okay, husband?"
Jia Heng whispered in his ear: "How about you help again..."
Qin Keqing snorted, feeling ashamed, and whispered "Hmm", but the beauty didn't know what she thought of, and her soft and charming voice was a bit naive: "Husband, if you always abandon me, I will
I won’t give it to you in one bite…”
Jia Heng: "???"
Although he knew that his wife was telling a joke, because of her submissive temperament, she would never do such a horrible thing. Is it possible that Jinyang could do it?
Well, Jinyang probably won’t either.
"You...are imitating Third Sister and Sister-in-law Feng." Jia Heng said softly.
Qin Keqing, who originally crawled into the brocade quilt and was about to say goodbye slowly, was stunned for a moment. What is this? Could it be that my husband was also raped by Third Sister and Sister-in-law Feng...
"I will serve you another day and make amends to you." Jia Heng also lifted the quilt and said softly.
Then there was the verbal quarreling. After the previous experience, I was feeling a little tired now.
After a while, Jia Heng got up, poured a cup of tea, handed it to Qin Keqing, and said, "There will be more days ahead."
Qin Keqing said "hmm", drank the tea, and said no more. Then she pressed her cheek tightly against Jia Heng's heart, listening to the young man's strong heartbeat. She didn't know when, but she felt a wave of sleepiness coming over her.
He often makes even breathing sounds and falls asleep peacefully.
…
…
Time flies by like water, and before you know it, another two days have passed. The Gongling corruption case has been settled, but the vacancy of officials in the Ministry of Industry has attracted the attention of officials of all sizes in Shenjing City. Two ambitious ministers in Shenjing City have
All the officials in the hall are working hard for it.
In the past two days, Jia Zheng went to work in the General Affairs Department, while Jia Heng stayed at the Military Aircraft Department. The Jia family gradually recovered from the joy of Jia Zheng being promoted to the fourth rank.
On this day, Daming Palace and Hanyuan Hall.
In the hall, the mid-noon sunlight casts its shadow on a group of Han officials wearing black veils on their heads and scarlet official robes.
Emperor Chongping sat on the golden chair and summoned the ministers to discuss the matter of two ministers from the Ministry of Works who were missing children.
This time the court recommendation was co-hosted by the Ministry of Personnel and the Cabinet. The six ministers and nine ministers, the censors from both left and right, and the third-rank officials in Beijing such as the Imperial College Jijiujiu, will promote the candidates for the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Work.
Unlike cabinet ministers and officials, the two ministers of the military and military departments will have the participation of Ke Dao. They are divided into east and west sides and discuss personnel affairs together. One recommends and the other impeaches. This time, there is no Ke Dao in the imperial recommendation system.
Therefore, compared to the great dynasty, there were not as many deliberation officials, that is, about twenty officials, all of whom were third-rank officials except for the fourth-rank official who held the Imperial Academy's wine ceremony.
Under Emperor Chongping's eyebrows, his eyes were as bright as paint. His eyes were calm, and he glanced at the officials below. He said in a deep voice: "The day before yesterday, I ordered all the ministers to recommend officials for the vacancies in the Ministry of Industry. Will there be names today?"
The Second Assistant to the Cabinet, Han Huang, held the wat board and cupped his hands and said: "I would like to report to the Holy Majesty that after receiving the Holy Order, I will conduct a merit examination and select two officials from the Qing Dynasty, and prepare a list of officials with suitable qualifications in Beijing for your colleagues to inspect and consider.
We have roughly decided on a few people, but when we discussed the list with Mr. Yang Ge, we had big differences. I hope you will respect the Holy See."
"What are these differences?" Emperor Chongping's expression remained unchanged, he glanced at Yang Guochang and asked.
Yang Guochang said in a loud voice: "The corruption case involving the Holy Emperor, Pan, Lu and related officials from the Ministry of Industry is truly unprecedented since the founding of the Han Dynasty. It is shocking and has shocked both the government and the public. The reason is that the cabinet has lax control and the personnel department
The selection was improper and the Metropolitan Procuratorate had no time to correct it. Therefore, the veteran believes that this time the selection should not wait for names, but the candidates should be discussed together, gathered in front of the imperial court, and let the Holy One evaluate the good and the foolish, the good and the bad, and the Holy Heart will make the decision."
If we follow the previous process of court recommendation, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will preside over it, and the nine ministers and the third-rank officials in Beijing will discuss it together and roughly draw up a list of five or six people for Emperor Chongping to use. If he is not satisfied, Emperor Chongping can order another recommendation.
However, this kind of recommendation process is often based on the number of votes. Yang Guochang's two generals from the Ministry of Revenue have gone to the south to inspect salt, and the left deputy imperial censor Peng Ye has also gone to Nanhe to inspect the embankments. If you follow this example, you will suffer a loss.
, so Yang Guochang refused to allow the matter for this reason, so he disagreed with Han Huang.
Emperor Chongping frowned, then straightened his brows, nodded and said: "What Mr. Yang Ge said makes sense to a certain extent. The Ministry of Works is corrupt from top to bottom, and few officials are spared. This time, we need to be cautious in court promotion.
Allow me to play."
When Han Huang heard this, he sighed in his heart and thought to himself that he was indeed suppressing his people from Zhejiang.
After a short silence, Pang Shilang, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I recommend Wei Liangping, minister of Honglu Temple, to take over the post of left minister of the Ministry of Works. Wei Liangping has served two terms in Honglu Temple. He has worked hard and made great achievements. As usual, he should be the minister.
move."
The Minister of Honglu Temple was originally a third-rank official, and Wei Liangping was also a member of the Qi Party. Even if he was transferred to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry according to the normal transfer, there seemed to be nothing wrong.
At this time, Wei Liangping, the minister of Honglu Temple, paused slightly, lowered his eyes slightly, and listened quietly to the judgment.
Emperor Chongping pondered for a long time, glanced at all the officials, and asked: "Do you think Wei Liangping, the Minister of Honglu Temple, is worthy of his duties?"
As soon as he said this, the right deputy imperial censor Zhang Zhi came out with a solemn look on his face and said: "I think Wei Liangping is not virtuous and upright, which embarrasses him. In the book of visits to Beijing by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the officials of the Department of Science and Technology said many things about him.
If he is impetuous and careless, and does not cultivate his personal ethics, he usually hangs around and behaves absurdly. The six departments and halls will attract the attention of hundreds of officials and follow him. If he is elected a virtuous and upright person, he will be regarded as a model of moral conduct. I hope that the Holy One will see clearly and use it with caution."
Morality has always been the best excuse to criticize colleagues.
As for impetuousness and imprudence, these words have always appeared frequently in the Beijing police. Together with not cultivating personal ethics and lingering around, it is even more accusatory that his character is defective.
At this time, Wei Liangping glared at Zhang Zhi's criticism. This Zhang Zhi was so vicious that he wanted to cut off his path to success. As the minister of Honglu Temple, he received envoys from all directions and led people to understand
It is simply unreasonable for a great man to be criticized for his moral character, even if he belongs to the right people!
Emperor Chongping said solemnly: "Wei Liangping has never served in the Ministry of Government, so it is not easy for him to be transferred to the Ministry of Industry."
Although he didn't talk about personal ethics, his words were also true.
Zhang Zhi looked stunned for a moment, cupped his hands and said: "The Holy Spirit is clear."
At this time, Yang Guochang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, looked slightly cold and said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister recommended Liu Yuzhong to the Imperial College to offer wine. This officer is an official, Geng Jie. His reputation for integrity is praised throughout the country. He can be transferred to the Ministry of Works to supervise the affairs of the ministry.
The official work department is full of corruption and despicable behavior.”
Although the imperial wine minister is of the fourth rank, it is an important position for nobles and nobles. Not to mention the minister of the Ministry of Works, even the minister of the Ministry of Rites is eligible for transfer.
Emperor Chongping had no expression on his face and said calmly: "Liu Yuzhong belongs to Qingliu. Although his official reputation is outstanding, it is not as good as Mokan in the Ministry of Yamen. This means that he is well versed in classics and history but not familiar with common people's affairs. The Ministry of Industry has undergone great changes, and everything is complicated, and
It is necessary to take care of the project construction, and the officials of Qingliu lack the ability to do general affairs, so there is no need to push it."
This statement not only vetoed the proposal of Yang Guochang, the chief minister of the cabinet, but also added that Qingliu would not refuse, which also quite disrupted some people's plans.
Liu Yuzhong, who was below, looked slightly stunned, lifted up his robe, and respectfully thanked him: "Your Majesty knows people well, and I respect you."
At this time, Yao Yu, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I recommend Wang Shu, Minister of Dali Temple, who is young, virtuous, fair and wise. He can be moved to the Ministry of Works as a minister. He will strictly observe the official conduct of the ministry and hope that your Majesty will accept it."
Wang Shu, the Minister of Dali Temple, glanced at Yao Yu, he was the Great Nine Ministers, and unless there was a vacancy for the Minister or the Minister of Personnel, he would not move at all from Dali Temple.
Of course, if there is an opportunity to advance to the rank of Minister, it would not be possible to transfer him to the Ministry of Works for transition, because in the Chen-Han official system, if he joins the cabinet, he will be in charge of ministry affairs.
"Dali Temple has not been able to clarify its laws for the time being. The experienced and prudent legal officials will preside over the review of government orders and identify those who are wronged." Emperor Chongping said calmly and rejected the selection again.
When Yao Yu heard this, his expression paused, he slowly retreated, cupped his hands and said, "The Holy Spirit is a clear mirror."
Zhou Tingji, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, held an ivory jade wat high in front of his forehead and said loudly: "I recommend Tang Gui, the young minister of Dali Temple. He is upright and upright, and he can be promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Works. He will organize the affairs of the ministry and be serious.
Corruption, please forgive me."
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment and said: "I have always heard about Tang Gui. He has been patrolling Huguang recently to investigate lawlessness. He will be appointed to another appointment after he returns to Beijing. It is not easy to transfer him to the Ministry of Works."
Seeing this scene of being rejected one after another, Han Huang's heart was already covered with a thick layer of haze, and he swallowed back the words of recommendation to Taichang Temple Minister Guo Yongchang. He decided to take a look at the situation before talking.
Fang Yuanzhen, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, had plastic surgery to reduce his appearance, but he left the job behind Han Huang and loudly played: "Guo Yongchang, the minister of Taichang Temple, is as clean as water in his official position, and he is diligent in the morning and hard at night. He can be transferred to the Ministry of Works.
I would like to ask your Majesty to consider this."
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment and said: "Taichang Temple and Honglu Temple are the same. The Ministry of Industry is undergoing great changes. It needs capable ministers and officials to assist Zhao Qing in organizing the ministry and making progress."
When Fang Yuanzhen, the right servant of the Ministry of Personnel, heard this, his face moved slightly and he retreated slowly.
At this time, two people recommended by the Zhejiang Party were rejected, and some officials of the Zhejiang Party were caught off guard.
In the Hanyuan Hall, as time went by, one minister after another was recommended, but all were rejected by Emperor Chongping, either not allowed, or reconsidered, or for various reasons. At noon, the huge Hanyuan Hall suddenly
fell into a brief silence.
The candidates who are mainly qualified to be recommended by the court are also limited, because of the restrictions on qualifications and official rank. Most of the other five ministers do not want to be transferred to the Ministry of Works, so they can only choose among the adjutants of the temple supervisors or the censors of the capital procuratorate.
, of course, there were also provincial governors who also served as deputy capital censors, as well as officials from the Fan and Zhen departments, but even after such recommendation, there was still no one who met Emperor Chongping's wishes. In other words, Emperor Chongping was the one recommended by the Qi and Zhejiang parties.
Don't even want to use it!
As for doctors in the first division, generally speaking, according to the regular process, they are super promoted, that is, they are a category with great resistance. They must have defensible reasons. Therefore, no one will waste their quota and promote the department.
Langzhong Siguan.
Just when the atmosphere in the palace came to a brief stagnation, Shi Jie, the Minister of War, looked solemn and was about to hold up the ivory jade wat to go out, but he was a little slower.
Xu Lu, the imperial censor of Zuodu, held an ivory jade tablet in his hand and said: "Wei ministers recommended Zhong Qin Ye, the minister of the Ministry of Industry to repair the Qing Dynasty. This officer is honest, upright, and has worked diligently and conscientiously in the Ministry of Industry for nearly thirty years.
When the official came to the chief minister's office, he performed his duties conscientiously and never made any mistakes. Previously, he was framed and excluded by his colleagues because he was unwilling to collude with Pan and Lu. I thought that the emperor could give him a special promotion, so as not to lose the intention of selecting talents and promoting them.
.”
As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the palace fell silent.
I am a doctor in the first department. Is this a fifth-grade official? Can he be transferred to the Ministry of Works?
Well, it's not that there are no precedents. There were more examples during the reigns of Taizu and Emperor Taizong, and less after the Longzhi period. Most of the ministers' ministers were transferred to the yamen offices of other provinces and vassals as assistants.
Some people in the palace frowned. Originally, due to being excluded from Qingliu, the plan was disrupted, and there were no officials with suitable qualifications to recommend. Some of them had a temporary intention to nominate their subordinates, but after a second thought, they gave up the idea.
Without him, there is no point in asking your subordinates to be on an equal footing with you, regardless of whether their qualifications are appropriate.
Moreover, only cabinet ministers who are party leaders are qualified to push the first minister in the faction to promote the ministry.
