Chapter 84 After the political struggle, ask for the moon
Time flies so fast that two days have passed before I know it.
On the afternoon of the third day, Jia Heng lowered his eyes and looked at the thick pile of Three Kingdoms manuscripts on the desk, and breathed a long sigh of relief. After working hard, writing fast, and holding on to the candle until the end, he finally completed the first volume of the Three Kingdoms manuscripts and the following chapters.
Once you have finished writing them all, you can take them to the Hanmo Studio today to have them printed and published.
"Husband, drink tea." Qin Keqing handed over a cup of fragrant tea and said softly.
She saw her husband's hard work in the past two days, so she only slept for two or three hours. She started writing in the morning and continued writing until midnight.
Jia Heng took the tea cup from Qin Keqing's hand, smiled, and said softly: "Ke Qing, I've been neglecting you these past two days."
Qin Keqing's face, as white as snow, was as beautiful as clouds. There was a hint of shame and joy in her bright eyes, and she said angrily: "Husband, there are outsiders here."
The maids Baozhu and Ruizhu on the side pursed their lips and chuckled.
Jia Heng was startled for a moment. When he said "cold", he didn't mean that, but he didn't want to explain much now.
To put it bluntly, he was at the age where he could taste the marrow and know the taste. It was just that when he was young, he was wary of sex.
"But dear, I'm going to the Hanmo Studio." Jia Heng said, putting the manuscript into a wooden box.
"Husband, are you coming back for dinner?" Qin Keqing took a cloth bag from Qingwen's hand and handed it to Jia Heng.
Jia Heng thought for a moment, looked warmly, and smiled: "I guess it won't be over for a while, so don't wait for me."
Qin Keqing nodded lightly and watched Jia Heng leave.
After leaving Ningrong Street, we first went to a teahouse to sit down and looked at the sky. It was already late.
"Brother Heng, here we come." At this time, Dong Qian came out and Cai Quan said at the side.
"What's going on over there in Jingzhao?" Jia Heng asked as soon as he sat down.
Although Jia Heng has been writing at home these past two days, he has not stopped paying attention to the news about Jingzhao Yamen. It can even be said that he has paid close attention to it.
Because he had no official position, he could only choose to trust Xu Lu, a cruel official and a backbone of the imperial party, but could not teach others how to do things.
In fact, as long as Xu Lu is not stupid, he will definitely withstand the counterattack of the Jia family and the four kings and eight princes behind him.
In the past two days, Qiu Liang, the commander of the military and horse divisions of the five cities, tried to arrest the Cuihua Mountain bandits for interrogation on the pretext that the Cuihua Mountain bandits had entered the capital to disturb public order. Then the grandson of the Duke of Zhen came to attack the first-class uncle.
Niu Jizong wanted to take away the bandits, so he enlisted his help in suppressing them.
However, he was sternly rejected by Xu Lu, the Yin of Jingzhao, on the grounds that the emperor had assigned him an errand, and that the three assistants of the Gyeonggi Province were responsible for the security and theft arrests, and that they were all out of Jingzhao.
Dong Qian said: "The people in the Jia Mansion were moving around, but they were blocked by Lord Xu. They stopped for some reason today."
Jia Heng's expression paused and he said, "This matter is about to come to an end."
The day before yesterday, he learned through Han Hui that Prince Teng resigned from the emperor and mentioned Jia Zhen's removal from the title. The emperor looked quite unhappy at that time and scolded him a few words.
Prince Teng knelt down and knelt down, sweating profusely. He did not even dare to stay in the capital for a while, so he took his entourage and went to the capital to investigate.
This was the first test of the Four Kings and Eight Gongs, and it ended with Uncle Wang running away.
Later, the Imperial Procuratorate, the right-hand official of the imperial censor, Yu De, impeached Jia Zhen. He was rampant in lawlessness, bullying men and women, and searched for a lot of black materials in the fish and meat village. He asked Zhen to be punished with a severe punishment. The emperor was angry and handed over Jia Zhen.
The six departments of Zhan Shi Ke Dao discussed the punishment of Jia Zhen's crime.
Later, Wang Shuirong of Beijing came to defend himself on behalf of Jia Zhen. Yin Xulu of Jingzhao listened to the words of a traitor, tortured and tortured the meritorious officials, deceived Sheng Cong, and framed him. Although Zhen made mistakes, she was not guilty of any serious crime. It would be a mistake to deprive her of her title and salary.
Harsh.
The commander of the military and horse envoys of the five cities, Tongzhi Qiu Liang, impeached Jingzhao Yin for invading the military and horse envoys of the five cities to arrest and seize the power of the military commander.
Later, Niu Jizong also impeached Xu Lu because he was arrogant, independent and did not care about military matters.
Suddenly, there was a flood of articles, including Xu Lu's self-defense memorial and the memorial to impeach the King of Beijing for forming a clique for personal gain and manipulating the prison chief.
Then a group of censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate began to be dismissed, and it was very lively for a while.
However, the six ministers, ministers, and cabinet bachelors remained strangely silent. They were obviously building up their anger in the face of the Wuxun Group.
This is the first time for Jia Heng to observe the Chen-Han Dynasty under Emperor Chongping from the side. The political disputes started from Zhan Shikedao. There are almost no big bosses who go into battle shirtless. Perhaps they have to wait for the three-party disputes and the rotation of cabinet ministers to govern major political affairs.
You can only see the tide.
Although the conflict between him and Jia Zhen was the trigger, the aftermath was like a bystander. How should I put it, a little... technical.
However, I also saw some of Emperor Chongping's tricks. He first caught the mistakes and omissions, then dismissed him and investigated, established established facts, and then found materials to convict.
Listen, this is somewhat devoid of martial ethics.
But I have to say that this is the power and strategy of emperors in a society ruled by man.
Don’t even think about the rule of law. This is the rule of law, not the rule of law.
The emperor has the constitution of heaven in his mouth, the sacred heart is arbitrary, and the power of heaven is unpredictable. But when he really needs to reason with his ministers, there is only one problem, and that is that the power is diverted and the order is often out of order.
It may sound a little sad.
Jia Heng thought in his mind.
Cai Quan asked with a worried look on his face: "Brother Heng, the higher ups have just issued a transfer order to promote me to Deputy Qianhu, and to dispatch a thousand soldiers to suppress the bandits in Cuihua Mountain on a certain date. I think something is wrong about this matter.
"
In the past few days, there has been a storm in the capital, and Cai Quan really felt a sense of fear and trembling in his eyes. In other words, he felt like he had stabbed a hornet's nest.
But looking at the young man across from him, his face remained calm, and he couldn't help but feel an unfathomable feeling in his heart.
He has now boarded Jia Heng's "thief ship" and has no choice but to go to the dark side.
Jia Heng frowned, looked at Cai Quan, and said: "Brother Cai, the four kings and eight princes are all in the same spirit. Their influence in the army cannot be underestimated. You are not easy to be the deputy of Qianhu."
Not only did Cai Quan feel like he had stung a hornet's nest, he also felt like he was in trouble.
The Jia family's pardoning of treasures and others are naturally useless snacks, not worth mentioning, but the four kings and eight princes behind them can influence the whole body. Even Emperor Chongping must be cautious about it and rely on the civil servant group to suppress and weaken it.
Cai Quan is Aunt Cai's nephew and has a close relationship with him. He will still be useful in the future and cannot be destroyed by Niu Jizong.
As for the stress reactions of the four kings and eight princes, they were actually normal. They were not trying to save Jia Zhen, who was already completely disabled, but were trying to test Emperor Chongping's mind.
Cai Quan's expression changed and he cursed angrily: "I also think someone named Niu is behind this. Why don't you just pretend to be sick?"
Dong Qian frowned and said in a solemn voice: "If Shangguan sends a mission, if he refuses, I'm afraid he will make mistakes."
Then, Dong Qian pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Heng, do you have any ideas?"
Cai Quan's eyes were eager and he said: "Brother, please help me with this matter."
Now the three-person group is unconsciously headed by Jia Heng.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Cai, this is danger, but it is also an opportunity."
Cai Quan's eyes lit up and he said, "How do you say that?"
He thought to himself that he was scared to death, but Brother Heng just said it was an opportunity. This...
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "Master Xu has already obtained some information from the Cuihua Mountain bandit's activity route and hiding place. If you make good use of it, you may be able to follow the trend and get some credit. At that time, you may be able to go one step further.
The case has attracted the attention of courtiers from above to below. If Brother Cai can identify the bandits within three or two days, he can take advantage of this heat..."
It is said that the case that all the court officials were concerned about involved the Cuihua Mountain bandits, and it turned out that such a person quickly resisted them. This is why some cases became hot searches in later generations.
Even the definition of major cases in previous lives was cases that attracted widespread attention across the country, provinces, and autonomous regions.
But this kind of attention, in the final analysis, is still... leadership attention.
This is all for the same reason, that’s why it’s called an opportunity.
Hearing this, Cai Quan felt a flash of fire in his heart. Looking at Jia Heng, his eyes became more and more eager, and he said, "That's the truth, but I'm not afraid of my brother's jokes. My brother is not very good at plotting troops."
Ask him to collect the hiding places of bandits and set up a siege. How does he know this?
He has only led a hundred or a thousand people at most, and he is no longer a fighting general like him who has gained fame through blood and bravery.
