After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

After the verdicts of those clansmen came down, Jia Jing summoned the rest of the clansmen and showed them the results.

Everyone was silent like a cicada, lowering their heads like a quail, not daring to say a word.

Jia Jingdao: "Our Jia family has received the emperor's favor, so we have a bit of power. We thought that in this way, we can not be bullied by others, and we can be regarded as worthy of our ancestors. But..."

He paused, and his eyes flashed across the faces of all the clansmen: "But I never thought that we are working hard in Beijing, lest we do not do well enough, and lose our sacred heart, the clansmen in our hometown, But they are afraid that we will be stable in Beijing, and spare no effort to hold us back."

"Heh, you guys are really capable, official talisman?" His expression suddenly turned cold, and he said sharply, "This world is the world of saints, thunder, rain and dew are all the blessings of saints, what qualifications do you have to be someone's official talisman? "

Everyone couldn't help shrinking their necks.

But Jia Jing knew that not all of them were convinced.

But these are not important, the important thing is that Jia Jing wants them to remember one thing: "Don't think that if we have two Dukes in our family, you can do whatever you want. It's really a taboo, and one Duke of our country can't spare you! "

After the big stick was beaten, Jia Jing started sending out sweet dates again: "These days, I also thought about it. The reason why there are so many criminals is simply too idle. Although our family has ethnology in Beijing, it is far away from Jinling. Far away. Before I go back this time, I plan to run the ethnology here in Jinling."

As soon as this remark came out, all the clansmen became excited and said in one voice:

"This... this is a good thing!"

"Yes, if you can study, you can become an official in the future."

"The patriarch is still thoughtful."

"..."

When they had had enough discussion and all looked at him eagerly, Jia Jing continued: "I am going to entrust the management of the Jinling tribe to Brother Dun in the fifth room. I have already recommended a few well-educated people. Scholars, I will visit them in person on a certain day and invite them to sit in the ethnology center. Although our family is not a scholarly family, we are considered polite, so don't neglect them."

Asking Jia Dun to preside over ethnology is within everyone's expectations.

This time Dafang was also involved, and Jia Jing had already relieved him of the family affairs entrusted to Dafang in the past.

At that time, everyone thought that Jia Jing would entrust the family affairs to Jia Dun.

Unexpectedly, he was actually entrusted to Jia Dairen, the old man of the third room.

There are quite a few people in the clan who complain about Jia Dun, but Jia Dun himself doesn't take it seriously.

The reason why he helped rectify the clan affairs was just because he didn't want to see the clansman degenerate.

Now that his goal has been achieved, what does it matter if he can gain authority?

For this reason, he also reprimanded the two sons who complained, and told them what a family has one surname, one clan and one ancestor, one prosperity and all prosperity, one loss and all loss.

After this incident, Jia Jing had a thorough understanding of Jia Dun's character, and believed that he was a man of integrity who could entrust important affairs, so he decided to entrust the most important family study to him.

Jia Dun's two sons were overwhelmed with surprises, but Jia Dun was not surprised by favor or humiliation, and only solemnly said: "I will definitely live up to the entrustment of the patriarch."

Then, Jia Jing set aside an empty house of the third family member to set up a school, and according to the preface, he personally visited several well-educated people.

Because of Jia Jing's recent rectification of family affairs and his reputation, many people are very optimistic about Jia's family.

And Jinling is the hometown of literary style, and there are many Jinshi and Juren who are unsuccessful in officialdom.

Because of Jia Jing's low profile, and sincerely asked them to discipline the children of the clan, the Shuxiu they gave was also quite high, and finally invited three Jinshi to sit in the hall.

When the family in Jinling is on the right track, Jia Jing's filial piety will soon be over.

He asked Jiao Da to rent a boat, and within a few days of returning to Beijing with Jia She, the day of disarmament came.

Afterwards, after getting rid of his clothes and leave, he went to the palace to meet the saint and the prince. Jia Jing went back to Ningguo Mansion, contacting old friends and waiting for the saint to give him an official position.

He didn't need to think about the Ministry of War or something, someone had already taken his original position.Besides, he has not been in the court for two years, so maybe he will be demoted a level and a half this time.

The saint didn't make things difficult for him, and a few days later, an imperial decree to appoint an official came to Ningguo Mansion.

It's just this official position that surprised the entire court.

——The right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Daxia regards the left as the most respected, and Jia Jing has indeed dropped half a level from the left servant to the right servant, but compared to others, he is much better.

Of course, this "much better" refers only to the grade.If you talk about the benefits inside, it is very intriguing.

Leaving aside the gap between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War among the six departments, Jia She, a military general with a noble background, was sent to the Ministry of Rites where well-educated people gathered, which was enough to make him suffer.

No matter what outsiders think or think, Jia Jing is always very calm.

He reported to the Ministry of Rites on time every day, just like when he first joined the Ministry of War, he honestly read the files of previous years, and never easily interfered with the affairs of the Ministry.

Moreover, compared to when he was in the Ministry of War, he was more cautious and never had any deep friendship with any official in the Ministry of Rites.

Even if there are overlaps in official business, he has always been official and has absolutely no intention of going further.

On weekdays, whenever he had something to do, he would always send out his subordinate officials.

This approach made everyone in the Ministry of Rites breathe a sigh of relief, and also reassured the saint a lot.

After all, although he was in the Ministry of Rites, he was a military commander.

If there is another war in the future, no one can guarantee that he will not be used.

If he has too close contacts with civil servants, the saint will never sit idly by.

Of course, there is also dissatisfaction, and that is the prince.

The prince is a very nostalgic person and also has a sense of responsibility.

He knew that the reason why Jia Jing fell into such an embarrassing situation, in the final analysis, was because of him.

Therefore, instead of following the instigation of some officials in James's Mansion to alienate Jia Jing, he often summoned Jia Jing.

Its purpose is nothing more than to let others watch: Jia Jing is covered by someone, so don't neglect Jia Jing.

If it is said that the prince did not intend to buy people's hearts at all, Jia Jing would not believe it.

But he is wholeheartedly assisting the prince, so he doesn't mind making this "horse bone for thousands of dollars" horse bone for the prince.

Moreover, he felt that he could no longer sit still.

Over the past few years, incidents have happened time and time again. Although the sage and the prince are still on the surface as fatherly, kind and filial, in fact, the rift between them has long existed and is getting deeper and deeper.

In their position, even if each other intends to eliminate these barriers, it is impossible.

For a saint, there are too many people around him, and these people have too many thoughts.

For the crown prince, he must ascend to the throne, and the people standing behind him thought so too.

Both sides were pushed away, and the Third Prince and Ninth Prince disrupted the situation, making the water more muddy and the situation even more confusing.

Jia Jing sighed and comforted himself: at least compared to his previous life, the prince's situation is much better.Now, as long as the prince is stable, it will be fine.

The prince is very stable.

After all, he was taught by a saint with all his heart and soul. No one understands the mind of a saint better than him.

There is no prince who knows better than him what is called the emperor's mind.

He often puts himself in the perspective of a sage, trying to figure out the deep meaning of every decision made by a sage, and he can often make a good guess.

But in front of the saint, he only showed one or two points.

Because, no high-ranking person would want someone who can guess his mind.

The prince is stable because he can see through.

When the crown prince is stable, it is the turn of others to be unstable.

The first one who was about to make a move was the third prince.

And the Ninth Prince and others also made some small moves behind the scenes to add fuel to the flames.

When Jia Jing received the decree from his superiors, saying that the sage was going to hunt in the Western Mountains and allowed Xungui and officials above the third rank in the imperial court to accompany him, he suddenly realized:

—So, is it already this time?

Jia Jing was riding on the horse, guarding beside the saint's carriage, looking at the six princes who were nearly 30 years old and full of vigor, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Last time, also at this time, the sage hunted in Xishan.

But the difference is that last time the sage accompanied the prince with him, but this time he left the prince to supervise the country in Beijing.

After this hunt, the throne of the next generation was settled.

No one thought that in the end, the throne would fall on the head of the sixth prince, who had never been inconspicuous.

Jia Jing is now an official of the Ministry of Rites, so he has nothing to do with camping or anything.Patrol guards are also not within the scope of his duties.

So, after dinner, he went to bed early.Several waves of dignitaries or military officers came to visit him, but they were all stopped by Jiao Da who was guarding the door.

Naturally, these people were not reconciled, but they had already fallen asleep, so there was nothing they could do.

Early in the morning of the second day, Jia Jing, who had slept through the night, was refreshed. After washing and eating, he led his horse and gathered at the saint's place.

On the first day of hunting, as usual, the sage should shoot the first arrow.

Jia Jing still remembered that when he came to Xishan with the saint for the first time in his life, the saint shot down a pair of wild geese with one arrow, which shocked the audience.

This time, however, the saint shot a deer in a herd of animals being herded by the paddock officials.

Although the arrow pierced the deer's eyes in an instant, it was amazing, but in terms of strength, it was not as good as before.

Jia Jing sighed secretly, while distracted thinking: among the people present, how many people think like him?
