Lin Lang, the wood family of the Red Chamber

Two years is actually quite fast. Unknowingly, when everyone is still talking about the shocking scene of the imperial city's money distribution, two years have passed like this.

In the past two years, the structure of the Great Zhou court has changed a lot. First of all, the young and promising Prince Rui Tu Yang has taken over half of the Great Zhou imperial power with the help of today's intentional or unintentional help.Nowadays, it is very rare to handle the government affairs in person nowadays, and Tu Yang is about to become a person who talks about everything except today.Although he has not been canonized as the crown prince today, everyone knows that this Prince Rui is the de facto Crown Prince of Great Zhou.

As for the canonization of this crown prince, at the beginning it was intended to be canonized in a grand ceremony, but Mu Linlang said, "Since history, none of the crown princes in the past has been able to ascend to the throne safely!"

Today, I actually think it makes sense, and I can't refute it. Leaving aside, in their Dazhou alone, didn't the emperor's throne come from his elder brother?Since the Qin Dynasty, how many princes have been able to ascend to the throne safely?Therefore, he no longer struggled with whether he should confer the crown prince's seat to Tu Yang, it was the same anyway.

After several years of experience, it is no exaggeration to say that Tu Yang is handy in handling political affairs.After using all kinds of methods, even today I have to sigh: blue comes from blue and is better than blue.

He first put the various talents that he had worked on over the years into appropriate positions in various ways.When the time is right, those who have ulterior motives, those who are incompetent and will only occupy the latrines will all rise and fall, and they will be transferred to departments without real power, and they will live a life of retirement in advance.

By the time these people reacted, it was already too late, and if they wanted to trouble Tu Yang, they would have already been cleared out of the core circle, and it was impossible to say anything meaningful up.Since then, no one dared to underestimate the 15-year-old Prince Rui in front of him.

At the same time, Tu Yang also pays great attention to listening to the opinions of his subordinates, often brainstorming in a broad sense, and the making of a decision is often the collective embodiment of the wisdom of many ministers.

And he also tried to delegate power to his subordinates. Some things that can be decided by his subordinates are completely left to them. As long as the time comes, it will be reported to him. Of course, whether it is success or failure, the subordinates will to take responsibility.

At the beginning, it caused panic among many people. After all, they really don't see such a way of governing, especially when it comes to state affairs.Since ancient times, which person who became an emperor didn't do everything by himself, wishing to have all the power in his hands?These people kept muttering in their hearts, did they do something that did not please Prince Rui?Otherwise, how can we let them take the lead?Don't wait for a while to be wiped clean.But as time went by, the things they were worried about did not appear, and they gradually got used to this pattern.

Under Mu Qing's suggestion, Tu Yang, regardless of the objections of his ministers, advocated the establishment of another department besides the six departments - the Ministry of Supervision.As the name suggests, this is a department that supervises all officials.Of course, this supervisory department is fundamentally different from the Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Xichang of the previous dynasty. The most important one is that they cannot use punishments on the supervised!

In this way, Jinjin, who is the emperor, and Tu Yang, who is the supervisor of the country, are much more relaxed.

Since ancient times, the contradiction between the emperor and the prince, and the conflict between the prince and the prince have always been acute.Originally, with Tu Yang's current momentum, today's princes and princes should have joined forces to attack, but the situation in Dazhou is different from the past.Not to mention those who are addicted to being hands-off shopkeepers today, those princes, under the current intentional or unintentional guidance, the eldest prince has become a general, yearning for the new continent that Mu Qing said, always thinking of being able to lay down a land of his own with his own hands. His own world.After the second prince died, many little princes below the sixth prince had their dispositions removed. Those who loved books, paintings, and games, none of them had a big picture.

If it wasn't for Tu Yang's young age, he would have left the court to Tu Yang long ago, fearing that he would not be able to suppress the old officials in the court.

And the newly promoted Zhongchang County Wang Mu Linlang gradually gathered the military power, and under Mu Qing's suggestion, he regrouped several major military camps in Dazhou and divided them into several large regions.The generals in those armies messed it up even more, transferring generals from different places every few years. In this way, it effectively prevented the soldiers of an army from only knowing the generals, but not the emperor's situation.

At the same time, some capable generals were promoted as deputies, and they each divided labor and cooperated, which was both independent and unified.The army's promotion system has been reformed, and the ranks in the army have been subdivided much more than before. This has allowed more talented and capable soldiers who were born civilians, but those who could not be promoted because of their birth problems, to get more opportunities for advancement.

Later, Mu Linlang formed a navy consisting of the most advanced warships in the world at that time, which were even equipped with the most advanced navigational instruments and firearms.Once this navy was born, it wiped out many large and small pirates cruising in the outer seas of the Great Zhou, and found a lot of robbed money from the pirates' dens, which directly enriched the treasury of the Great Zhou.Most importantly, this navy is directly under Tu Yang.

This series of reforms were all based on Mu Qing’s improvement of the basic political system of later generations. Fortunately, he also knew the truth that if you don’t go fast, you won’t make progress. It took two years for this arrangement, and it is now regarded as a reform. It's taking shape.

At this time, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, under the governance of the two princes, civil and military, the government affairs were clear for a while, the officials were clear and bright, and the soldiers were strong and strong.In the past few years, the common people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the prestige of Tu Yang and Mu Linlang has been improved among the common people.

In the Prince's Mansion of Zhongchang County, Mu Linlang was sitting on the main seat drinking tea, and Tu Yang was sitting with his subordinate Prime Minister. This kind of scene can only be seen in the Prince's Mansion of Zhongchang County. Who would dare not give it now? How proud is Prince Rui?Only Lord Mu can let him sit willingly with the Prime Minister, the others, hehe.

"Why do you have time to come to my place today?" Mu Linlang said with a look of disgust, anyone who spends eight of the twelve hours in a day staying together, no matter how good-natured people are, they will be annoyed .Today's rare Xiu Mu, this guy actually clings to him again, it's really clingy.Not good, really not good!

"It's not the year of the general election this year, and the queen didn't know who she listened to, but she actually wanted me to choose someone from among those suitable girls as a concubine. Recently, she called me to her palace to give lectures every day when she had nothing to do. , Am I bored?" Tu Yang smiled flatteringly.

"Didn't you mess up this year's draft with the excuse that the treasury has no money and you have to be busy with state affairs? But then again, one princess in your mansion is not enough! At least two side concubines, four Concubine Shu, where are the eight concubines? It's better to prepare them together, so as not to bother the two masters for one thing." Mu Linlang didn't even look at him.

"You're wronged! Others don't know what my mansion looks like. Don't you know Lang'er? Those women in the palace are really troublesome. What good can someone introduced by them do? Besides, don't I thought I didn't know, but Lin Hai did not miss finding those suitable children for you. The most annoying thing is that the Jia family actually planned to send their concubine daughter to you as a concubine, which is unforgivable! "The Jia family that Tu Yang mentioned here refers to the second house of the Rongguo Mansion, not the eldest house of Jia She.

Since the incident of recovering the money owed by the state treasury, Jia Amnesty was persuaded by Jia Lian, and under his investigation, he discovered that the Rongguo Mansion not only ran out of money from the public, but was already living without money.Even the sacrificial land of the Jia family in Jinling was almost sold out by the Jia Wang family in the past few years, taking advantage of the convenience of hosting the Rongguo Mansion, and all the money she got went into her private treasury. Not to mention Jia amnesty, even Jia's mother didn't even see any silver scraps.He couldn't sit still any longer, no matter what, he wanted to separate from Jia Zheng.This incident caused a lot of trouble at the time, almost becoming the most sensational event in Beijing that year.

Jia She is not stingy, he doesn't care what others think of him, he can make trouble as he pleases.Jia Zheng has a very good face, and he claims to be a gentleman, and the people he usually associates with are also the kind of literati. This was a threat to separate the family. Since then, many people who had good relations with Jia Zheng have all unilaterally cut off contact with him, while other common people often point and point behind his back. The situation is completely disrespectful.

In the end, the two households of the Jia family finally separated.Jia Amnesty took Mrs. Xing directly to the south of the Yangtze River, where he went to join his son Jia Lian.

In the past few years, Jia Lian has both sons and daughters, his wife and concubines are of the same mind, his official career is prosperous, and he has won the favor of Prince Rui. Now he has already become the Taoist platform of Jiangning Mansion, and he is a fourth-rank official.Jia Amnesty didn't even want the title, and went straight to retirement.In the end, Jia Lian had another vacant position as a third-class general.

Jia Amnesty's decision angered Jia's mother and Jia Wang's family. The two women kept thinking that now that Jia Lian had entered the officialdom, the title passed down by Duke Rong would not be so necessary to him. The title should be handed over to Jia Baoyu anyway, who knows that things are not as good as she wished, Jia Amnesty gave the title to Jia Lian without saying a word, and the two women were so angry that they fell to the ground.

Although Jia Zheng still has a position as a fifth-rank member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, but in this capital where there are as many royal relatives as dogs, he is really not on the stage, but he is still an official.In short, it is also an existence that needs to be looked up to among the people.

Who knows that last year, Tu Yang eliminated some dissident and incompetent officials. Unfortunately, Jia Zheng took both. According to Tu Yang's thinking, this kind of food will only waste rice and not produce. Waste, needless to say, the best destination is to directly degrade people into common people.

But this Jia Zheng is the biological father of Concubine Xiande after all. They know what is going on with Concubine Xiande, but outsiders don't know. As a last resort, Tu Yang had to kick him to the Ministry of Rites and became a Ministry of Rites from the fifth rank. Yuanwailang.Although Jia Zheng has been in the Ministry of Industry for more than [-] years, he still insists on his status as a scholar, and looks down on the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, after all, he has more face than the Minister of Rites.

Jia's mother's status as a first-class imperial order has not been lost either. As the widow of Duke Rong, she still lives in the Rongguo Mansion in Nuo Da, while Jia Zheng still lives in Rongxi Hall in a dignified manner in the name of filial piety.Just to repay the debt owed to the state treasury, the villa "Grand View Garden" built for family visits was confiscated by the imperial court.

Originally, Concubine Xiande let her sisters, Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, Jia Xichun, Li Wan and Jia Baoyu live together in the Grand View Garden after visiting her relatives. The rare garden was abandoned, and who knew that the Grand View Garden would be confiscated before the quilts of the people who lived there were warmed up.

Before Jia Amnesty went to Jiangnan, he took Jia Yingchun away after listening to Wang Xifeng's words. I heard that this gentle and gentle second girl from the Jia family found a good family in Jiangnan. mother.

This time the Jia family wanted to send their concubine daughter Jia Tanchun to Mu Linlang as a concubine or the idea of ​​Jia Wang's.This Mrs. Wang has long been jealous of the current power of the Lin family and Mu Linlang, and she wanted to let the concubine go to curry favor with the Zhongchang Palace.It's a pity that Mu Linlang really didn't like the people of this family. When the Jia family came, he didn't even let anyone in. He just let Dahua block the door of the house, and Xuehu had a good time. addiction.

"What are you talking about! I didn't let them in from that family. I didn't seek revenge on them now, but I just saw that they are now down and down. There is no difference between doing something and not doing it. I am afraid that life now is against them. The biggest punishment." Mu Linlang said with a light smile, "Then the Xiande concubine is still delaying? This life is really hard enough, to be able to delay for such a long time."

"Soon, in three months at the latest, that virtuous concubine will 'die of illness'." Tu Yang said with a smile.

"If that one dies, the sky of Jia Zheng's house will probably collapse."

"Who says it's not? It means that the members of the Jia family have weird ideas, and they actually put the prosperity of a family on a woman." After thinking about it, he said, "Since they want to send a concubine to be your concubine Judging from the behavior, this family has been like a day for 20 years, and the methods have not changed. This is a change of strategy, and I am going to bet all the treasures on you. Now my father does not want to punish them, but just keep them. Afterwards, I will be in power, and I will use these four kings and eight princes to establish my prestige."

"What kind of prestige do you want to stand up for? There are not many people who don't support you now, both inside and outside the court!"

"This is the wish of his old man, we can only accept it." Tu Yang was helpless.

Mu Linlang thought about it, and it was the same reason, so she nodded, "Yes!"

Rolling his eyes, Tu Yang licked his face and moved closer to Mu Linlang, "Lang'er, look, we are both getting older, and there is no one in our house who knows the cold and the hot, How about the two of us go talk to Father Huang and Master, and let's get along with each other."

"I don't want to get married!" The corners of Mu Linlang's mouth twitched, but soon returned to normal. If it wasn't for Tu Yang's strong five senses, she really wouldn't have noticed.

When Tu Yang heard that there is a family, he became even more excited, "We can have two games! It's fair for each person to marry once! How about it?"
