Jia She, Chief Assistant of the Red Chamber

After discussing the relevant construction, Jia Amnesty entrusted the matter to Jia Lian under the banner of "exercising", then rolled up his sleeves, and after dinner, he sent Cui Yu back to the palace.

As soon as the palace gate entered as deep as the sea, Cui Lang was the emperor from then on.

"I'll see you tomorrow night. Tomorrow morning, I'm going to get together with some old relatives and friends. In the afternoon, I'll go to Wen's house. Thank you Mrs. Wen for helping me take the Spring Festival out to the banquet." He didn't forget his daughter before going out. For the banquet held by Xungui's old relatives, Princess Dong'an County was invited to help bring them to the banquet, and Wen Zijun's mother was invited by the literati.Otherwise, according to his official position, he would not be able to integrate into the core literati circle.Now that I have returned to Beijing to report on my duties, I should prepare a generous gift and go thank you in person.What's more, I have to ask them for help in the future, and lead the future daughter-in-law into the circle, which is even more generous.

"I'll try to get home as soon as possible."

"Good night." Hearing Jia Amnesty's last promise, Cui Yu smiled unconsciously, "Have fun, but don't drink too much alcohol. I heard that Mr. Wen is fond of calligraphy recently. Rao Jiexing Cursive Scripter's Notes is not considered a unique product in the world, but it is hard to find, but Rao Jie's book seems to be Huai Su, but it is exactly what he wants."

The former Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials who caused him to live apart from Enhou has now been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials.In terms of receiving gifts, they are also more cautious than before.Although Di An will arrange Jia Amnesty's ceremony properly, it is also a good thing to make people happier.

"Ah?" Jia She heard the words and said his name, then nodded: "Then I'll go back and look for it, good night, I'm leaving."

After finishing speaking, Jia Amnesty moved closer and kissed Cui Yu on the cheek: "Get out of the car."

"Okay." Cui Yu got out of the car and stood where he was, watching the carriage turn and go further and further away, until he could no longer see him, then he laughed and walked in slowly.

If you were in a honey vat this day, every minute and every second would be sweet in retrospect.

As soon as he returned to the imperial study, he saw his son's resentful face, Cui Yu immediately suppressed his smile, and asked kindly: "What's wrong?"

"Father," the crown prince smiled when he heard the words, pointed to the notebooks on the small desk beside him, and said, "I specially left some memorials for you."

"Sooner or later, you will have to do it. Look at Lian'er Rong'er who has started to handle family affairs at a young age, and even took charge of supervising the construction of Ningrong Pavilion." Jia Jing didn't even bother to make excuses, and directly let Jia Rong take full responsibility up.Although Jia Zhen is a bit out of line in other aspects, she is absolutely not interested in reading.

"Especially Rong'er this year, not only most of the things in the Ning Mansion, but also the clan priests are learning to take over at the end of the year. You just have to review a few booklets. Think about how old he is, how old are you?" Cui Yu finished, and finally He also sighed: "I feel that the son whose father is unreliable is very sensible and reliable. I will spoil you by being too reliable."

The prince was in a trance, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He looked at the father who "looks like someone else's child is so nice", looked at the smiling emperor's father, his eyes flashed, and he said jokingly: "Father! Your Majesty, don't talk about being so full, what do you mean you have to work alone sooner or later? These memorials were carefully selected by your son, some of them begging to open the harem, and some of them are for you to be careful. "

After finishing speaking, the prince's face was hurt: "Am I so ignorant? Don't you let your little ones be better than newlyweds?"

"Then since you are sensible, why do you have to bring these out?" Cui Yu approached. Even now that he has a granddaughter, he still flicked his son's head angrily: "Be smarter. Why do you have to do it for others?" This is not the first year and with these discordant voices, the imperial dining room should not be used as firewood."

"But...but there is always something different." Hearing this, the prince raised his eyes to Cui Yu, lowered his head, and glanced at Dai Ping. After seeing the emperor's permission to take the palace servants away, he hummed softly: "Some people conceive that the king and the horse share the world."

Cui Yu was silent for a long time after hearing this, "About the Jia family?"

"Aren't you asking knowingly?" The prince sighed deeply: "Although the news has not been confirmed yet, since Da Lian'er entered Kong's house, there is still news about it."

Hearing this, Cui Yu patted his son on the shoulder, "Yan'er, just to say, I really don't want to sit on the throne of your father. Although these years have passed, it is undeniable that this supreme power is sometimes a bit cool to use! But more It is the misery of being unable to sleep at night, bad weather and severe drought, finding new grains, promoting planting, land reform, moving people to the three eastern provinces, which has not yet been implemented, and the salt government is corrupt. Again……"

Cui Yu sighed: "Think about it, in the past two years, I have only made a small step in promoting grain and land and taxation reforms. I haven't promoted it nationwide, but I have a gray hair. If you want to become the throne, I can step aside immediately."

"Father," the prince became anxious when he heard the words, "I...the problem is not with me, it's..."

"Then who is mentioning it by your side? It's rare for you to be so coy." Cui Yu's face became serious: "Yan'er, I only have you as a child. If you don't feel safe, you want to learn from your second aunt, that's crazy. I."

"Father, I..." The crown prince blushed and admitted his mistake in a low voice: "Father, I didn't mean to test you. It's just the news I received, other courtiers and others don't know, they are your fans, What I see is that the Jia family is getting stronger day by day. Now they are still married to Yan Shenggong Kong’s family. In time, they have the culture, military, people’s hearts and even the economy, not to mention the lifeline of the economy, but they do have food, clothing, housing and transportation. There is an industry involved. And there is also a direct branch of the royal family, this kind of power, it is terrible to think about it."

"It's terrible. They've all cut off their sleeves. Now even the emperor is just begging Jia Lian and Jia Rong not to cut off his sleeves, and have a son to carry on the family line as soon as possible. Otherwise, to put it bluntly, what you said may become extinct in the future." , handed over to the treasury."

"He..." The prince took a deep breath, his eyes filled with disbelief: "He really doesn't care about Jia Qiang?"

As soon as these words came out, Cui Yu's face darkened instantly: "Chengyan, you have grown up without paying attention, this news is well-informed."

"I also ask Father to forgive me."

Looking at his kneeling son, Cui Yu let out a sigh of relief: "Yan'er, I won't stop you from kneeling. You kneel and think about it. We finally broke the so-called unspoken rules. Fighting together in harmony towards one goal is for the good of the country, the country, the people and the people. Loyalty and righteousness are indeed honorable. Of course, it is also clear that your grandfather is also slightly partial. But in matters of state, Emperor Taixing There is no partiality, and the money he earned himself is distributed according to the principle of legal inheritance. Jia Qiang is his eldest grandson, and he took his father's share together, and got [-]% of the family property. It is family property , not industry. The industry is all here, and I have been gradually handing it over to you for training and development over the years. Your father and I can’t make so much money by ourselves.”

"What Jia Qiang has is just a view of roses. This is because Jia Zhen spent Jia Qiang's money and helped people convert the money into property. As for Jia Qiang's remaining private property, no matter who instructed it, but Jia Zhen did. Indeed, enough 800 million taels of silver were collected and donated to the national treasury. That’s why the imperial court had extra money to develop the three eastern provinces. There are so many benefits to attract people to move there.”

After a pause, Cui Yu glanced down at his son who was blushing, and said all in one breath: "The so-called riches in Rongning's family are only Yu Yin who made his fortune in the war and Niu Jizong, who was the pillar of the past. The dividends from the capital. These years, the capital city has been considered a booming amusement park. It is your grandfather's property. This is opened with his own last coffin, but the land is in a Taoist temple. Cuju Mountain Villa is what I instructed Jia Zhen It was opened, you should know this back then. Besides, there is really no other large amount of income. The rouge gouache that Zhongyi promotes in the name of Princess Anle is all under the name of Zongzheng Temple, which drives the entire royal family The development of the clan industry."

"As for power, loyalty is already far away from the imperial court. Shouldn't he be allowed to avoid suspicion and live in the palace? As for Jia Jing, I like his talent in fire and medicine. He can give up the alchemy furnace and study abroad. It's true that Jia Zhen is hanging on to him, and she's trying her best to talk about loyalty, so that people can stir up the pillow wind. If he wants it himself, he can't wait to retire from immortality."

"Jia Zhen, do I need to say more? He has also made contributions to Qian Xiang, and according to his record, he can also be a fourth-rank General Zhaowu, but let alone enter the officialdom because of this, he has not been promoted even once. On the issue of Qianxiang, the Ning Mansion also contributed more than half of the military funds, real money. Not to mention me, any courtiers with a bit of conscience will not say that Marquis Jia Zhen is not true."

"Jia Rong is the only one who can become an official in the Ning family. But how old is Jia Rong now? When he enters the officialdom, even if he goes well, it will take three years. Not to mention that we want him to calm down and let him Let him travel for training, and he will not be allowed to enter the official examination in ten years."

After finishing talking about the Ning Mansion in one breath, Cui Yu looked at the prince who closed his eyes and said nothing, and said again: "Huo Jue is the Grand Marshal of the Army and Horses. He protects his shortcomings, but he is loyal to the country, protects the territory, and is determined to guard the door. If he rebelled, he would have rebelled long ago. A person who is loyal to his ideals will not change his mind. Unless the emperor has no morals and incompetence to destroy the Great Wall by himself, he suddenly became passionate. ice."

"As for Enhou, if we are really rebellious, I'm afraid we won't be able to live long ago." Cui Yu sighed, ignoring his long paragraph, his mouth was dry, tongue dry, and he just turned his head slightly and looked sideways. The dragon chair behind his eyes, his eyes darkened.In Jia She's dream, he died early, and Yan'er was nowhere to be found.

He also sang and followed, and the daily superstition came and went-drinking and pecking, reciprocating retaliation.

"As for Lian'er, Enhou never thought that he would be married to the Kong family. This is really an unexpected accident. After Lian'er knew the identity of the Kong family, she still held back and never mentioned it to anyone."

After finishing speaking, Cui Yu found the teapot by himself, poured a cup of tea, moistened his throat, then bent down to look at the prince, and said: "Regardless of the lethality of the word "frightening", I hope you have any questions or doubts." , directly and frankly in advance.”

Facing the soft light of his loving father who was close at hand, the prince took a deep breath, and his voice could not help being hoarse: "I... I also know the truth, but when I am in my position, I want to go astray without knowing it. Sometimes There must be a kind of mental breakdown in an instant. Father, dad, this is because of my own mentality."

"If you're under a lot of pressure, go out and have a look, and don't push yourself too hard. Whether the former prince is good or not has nothing to do with you. It's not your reference for your goals. He's fine with embroidery now. You can't keep talking to him." Is it better than embroidery?"

"But... But he can also show off an industry in embroidery, guides and trains peasant women, and imports spinning wheels from the West to be transformed by artisans, allowing them to make money and improve their economic status, and change their concepts in a subtle way. "The prince looked at Cui Yu, and paused every word: "I don't have his forward-looking vision."

"I don't have either." Cui Yuying didn't hesitate: "He is a baby prince, who has been trained by strong teachers since he was a child. Why should we father and son compare with him? I can withstand a coup and keep the government in a stable state. Now carry out reforms and changes slowly, and if you can stabilize the results of the reform, it is a success. To be a human being, sometimes you have to be more careful, and have more than the best and the weakest.”

Prince: "..."

"Okay, go back and think about it, sleep and wake up to another good day."

After the words fell, there was a long silence, the prince slowly opened his mouth, and replied: "Thank you, father."

"En." Cui Yu raised his hand and patted the man on the shoulder, and pulled him up after he got up: "Get up, now let's talk about why you collapsed for a while, father and son. If you don't say anything, I have to investigate."

Hearing the seriousness of the last three words in the words, the prince was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "Today the imperial doctor made a diagnosis, Wan'er probably has another girl in her stomach, and then... Anyway, finally..."

"What a mess." Cui Yu frowned: "I never urged you to have a boy to carry on the family line. Like Lian'er, even if he has only one seedling, Enhou can still say that he has no children at 35." Take a concubine. Although there are courtiers in the royal family who have nothing to do to urge a marriage, don’t be afraid, your father and I will take the lead and bear the pressure of forcing a marriage! They urge them, you can really reach out to live your little life Can you manage your bed? Talk to your wife when you go back, don't let your daughter-in-law think about it. The daughter is also a little princess! Look at your second uncle, and you still dream of being a little princess. You have only been married for four years. She's a little round, and she's pregnant with another one, which is considered a high yield. Rounding up, I've had two babies in three years, what's the rush?"

"In the countryside, there are no boys, which will make people around you tear up. That's because they have to do farm work. Boys represent labor, food, and life. In the wealthy family, having a boy means inheritance of property, representing two Yes," Cui Yu sighed: "I also understand that many people hope that your little couple will have a boy, which means passing on the family line, spreading branches and leaves, and also means that there will be a new generation of the emperor's eldest grandson. Orthodoxly speaking, the blood inheritance of Situ Yu's loyalty is completely a thing of the past."

"But Yan'er, why did you wrong yourself because of those few people?" Cui Yu looked at the prince solemnly: "Royal, the emperor always makes rules instead of obeying them."
