Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

Zhengde 13th year, spring

Everyone in the world believes that if a courtier reaches the level of Jia Rong, he is no different from the emperor.

When it comes to Jia Rong, the assistant minister, everyone knows it and gives a thumbs up.

He is a very powerful person!

At that time, Emperor Qianyuan died unexpectedly, leaving behind only a two-year-old son who ascended the throne as Emperor Zhengde.Three auxiliary ministers were left behind, the first one was Jia Rong who had just returned from the filial piety period, the second was Yan Tiesheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Si Jingyu, King Yi.The three are all royalists, with outstanding abilities, each with their own strengths, and restraining each other, they have been safe and sound in the past few years.

Everyone thought that this situation would not last long.Moreover, among the three, Jia Rong, who was slightly inferior to the other two in terms of status and qualifications, was able to beat the other two because of the title of Grand Tutor.

In the long run, the three must have disagreements.

But what surprised them a little was that the three of them had disagreements, and they still happened from time to time. Usually, there were three people with three opinions.During the court, Jia Rong, Yan Tiesheng and Yi Wang were often seen fighting with each other.

But obviously when it comes to words, Yan Tiesheng and Yi Wang combined cannot be said to be the same as Jia Rong.

And the facts have also proved that although the opinions put forward by Jia Rong often seem unreliable, when they are implemented, they are unexpectedly beneficial to the country and the people.There is just one thing, which is not conducive to the officials in the court, and even hurts their interests in many cases.For example, he took the lead in repaying the money owed to the treasury.It was his actions that made many officials have to start paying back the money.If you don't pay back the money, even though there is nothing on the surface?What is said is that repayment is voluntary and never forced.

But Jia Rong is an insidious person.He didn't speak on the surface, but acted secretly.Many aristocratic families who have not paid back the money, including the Dongping County Palace that was hereditary in the past.

Jia Rong is a formidable person, and he caused the prince of Dongping County to make a mistake, so he slapped the prince of Dongping County's mansion.You must know that the king of the county with a different surname was originally a thorn in the heart of the emperors of all dynasties. Gaozu once ordered that the titles of the four county kings in the east, west, north, and south must not be inherited by his sons. At the end.However, the current prince of Dongping County does not have a rich heir, and there is only one son, the eldest son, who was established as the eldest son at the age of ten, and he cherishes it very much. Now his title of eldest son has been taken away, which means that the title of Dongping County King will be gone with him. .

In other words, the title of Dongping County King, which has lasted for a hundred years, will be destroyed in one day.For this, Dongping County King hated Jia Rong and gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, the current Dongping County King has fallen, and he has the title of County King for nothing, but he has no real power in his hands.If there is no more title of county king, then the Dongping county palace will completely disappear in the capital for more than ten years at most.

In order to preserve the title of the mansion, the king of Dongping County had to make up the 66 taels of silver owed by his ancestors.

Seeing what happened to King Dongping, even if other people had more power and status than King Dongping, they didn't dare to twist it, so they could only take the initiative to raise money to pay back the money.

Of course, there is also that hard bone, which will not be returned.It didn't take long before it was revealed that he was corrupt and broke the law, his son hurt others, he was negligent in discipline, and other things that were not good for the family, and the news spread all over the capital.The whole family was dismissed from office, and even exiled by the whole family in severe cases. The female family members were not slaves of officials, how could it be a miserable word.

After that, no one dared to resist.No matter how much it is, pay back the money obediently.However, within half a year, the debts that had caused headaches for Emperor Longqi and Emperor Qianyuan had all been paid off.

For this reason, many officials in the court admire Jia Rong and have a lot of opinions, but because of his prestige, no one dares to say it out of their mouths, they can only mutter twice in their mouths.

Many officials are waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity that can knock Jia Rong out of the dust, this opportunity is when Emperor Zhengde is in charge.

They all believe that whoever has been in power for decades and has tasted the taste of power must be reluctant to let go of the power in his hands.Don't you see, how many people in the royal family lost their lives because they coveted this great power.Not to mention far away, it is close at hand. Wasn't it because King An was unwilling to submit to others that he forced the palace to rebel and lost the lives of the whole family.

This Jia Rong is not yet forty years old, but he is already a veteran of the three dynasties. He has held power for more than ten years, and the power has been poured into the government and the public. Even the current Emperor Zhengde would not easily refute what he said.With such a temptation, how could he be willing to let go of the power in his hands and let Emperor Zhengde rule in person?You must know that Emperor Zhengde is 15 years old and can be in charge of the government, but his age is really not that old.

It is entirely feasible for Jia Rong to use this excuse to control the government for another two years.

Although Emperor Zhengde was only 15 years old, he didn't know whether it was because he was born smart or because Jia Rong taught him too hard.He is young but has a bad heart. He is not at a disadvantage in fighting those old foxes in the court. He has so many thoughts that he is no worse than Jia Rong?

Therefore, everyone is waiting to see Jia Rong's good show.

But what disappointed them was that after Emperor Zhengde's 15th birthday passed, Jia Rong was so forthright, clean, and returned to power without a trace of hesitation.With that appearance, there is no nostalgia for just looking at it.At first, everyone thought that Jia Rong was just showing off, but what they didn't expect was that after Jia Rong returned the power, she really became her own secretary of the household department with peace of mind.Except for the matter of the household department's response, he really completely ignored the rest of the things.

Didn't he know that his behavior shocked many people's eyes?

What about World War?Did you agree to live or die?

that's it.

Most of the officials in the court couldn't understand Jia Rong's easy way of letting go, and many people even ridiculed Jia Rong secretly.As he got older, his courage also became smaller. Many people still remember his decisive way of killing and attacking back then.Of course, there were also some smart people among them, who secretly praised Jia Rong for being a skilled, treacherous and cunning person.

This one is so beautifully done!

Just when everyone else was discussing and expressing 12 incomprehensions about Jia Rong's behavior, Jia Rong had already put his memorial of retiring from old age and returning home to Emperor Zhengde's desk.

"Teacher, what do you mean by that?" Emperor Zhengde frowned, looked at the booklet for retiring from old age and returning home, and said so.

Although she is nearly forty years old, Jia Rong still looks like she is in her 20s. She is graceful and graceful. Walking on the street, there are many young and unmarried beautiful women who look at Jia Rong, and their faces turn red.However, Jia Rong has never been a womanizer. After many years of marriage, there is still only one wife in the family, not even a maid.

Speaking of which, Gu Qingrong's background is just like that, and her appearance is not considered stunning.At the beginning, she was married to Jia Rong, but she was regarded as a high climber, and later she lost her natal family, and she was just such a woman.To think Jia Rongguan, who has power all over the world, is so submissive that he doesn't even dare to accept a concubine.It is precisely because of this that many women in the capital, although secretly whispering that Gu Qingrong is jealous, do not know how much they envy and hate Gu Qingrong.

Someone like Mrs. Jia actually guarded her from the beginning to the end.

There are also many officials who envy Jia Rong. When there are no outsiders at home, they taunt and mutter that Jia Rong is just a person who is afraid of insiders. They even feel that although they are not as capable as Jia Rong, they are better than Jia Rong when it comes to women.

But after my wife heard these words, they usually didn't give them a good face for several days, and some of them had a strong temper, and they scolded them all over the face.

Although many people ridiculed Jia Rong for fear of guilt, the world still praised Jia Rong.

For Jia Rong, whether it was ridicule or praise, he never took it to heart. Listening to Emperor Zhengde's question, he said in an old godly way: "It's just like what your majesty saw. Your Majesty I have to resign and return to my hometown.”

Emperor Zhengde immediately asked to stay, "Teacher, don't be joking. You are only forty years old now, and there is still a long time before you can become an official. What's more, teachers are inseparable from the court, and I also need teachers here." Teacher, Emperor Zhengde has admiration from the bottom of his heart. He has lost his father and mother since he was a child, and lacks family affection. He is naturally somewhat sincere to Jia Rong, who raised him single-handedly.Although in the past two years, because of the pro-government matter, it has faded a bit, but what he said at this time is absolutely 100% sincere.It can already be seen from his address to Jia Rong.

"I have been an official for more than 16 years since I entered the court at the age of 20. After three dynasties, I think that I have done well enough. I have lived up to the emperor's entrustment to my ministers, and I have been worthy of the common people. In the past [-] years, I have worked hard. Trembling, not daring to slack off in the slightest. Now that the emperor is able to take charge on his own, I also think that I have nothing and skills to teach the emperor. Life is only a few dozen years, and I also want to go around and see Look." In fact, what he said was too gentle, what he meant by what he said was that life is only a few decades, and I don't want to spend all my time working for you.Besides, he had had enough fun in the past ten years.It happened that Emperor Zhengde also grew up here.

It's time for him to retire with a good name.

Emperor Zhengde hesitated when he heard Jia Rong's words.Although he also hated Jia Rong, he didn't want people to say that he was crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.Originally, he had just been in power, and no matter whether it was the common people or the officials, it seemed that they were still waiting to see him.If Jia Rong becomes an official at this time, it will inevitably make people feel that he is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate heroes.

This is very unfavorable for him to deal with the government in the future.

After all, no one wants to end up with a dead rabbit and a dead dog.So at this point in time, Jia Rong's memorial to return home must not be approved.

Thinking about it in this way, Emperor Zhengde said again with more sincerity, "Although you said so. But teacher..."

"Momo haw haw, I don't have any style at all." Before Emperor Zhengde finished speaking, Jia Rong interrupted him, waved his hand impatiently, and then said, "Okay , I have already put the things there for you. Whether you agree or not, it will start tomorrow anyway. I will not go to the household department again. The matter has been explained. I will leave first. " As he spoke, he waved his hand, turned around and left chicly.

Emperor Zhengde looked at Jia Rong's back and knew it.This copy of his book, I am afraid that if it is not approved, it will be approved.At the moment, he could only sigh helplessly. Although he felt a little pity in his heart, he would be a little embarrassed in the future.

But it also fully explained.The teacher is not like others said, he is a person who is greedy for power.

But even though he thought so, Emperor Zhengde was unwilling to let Jia Rong go.What he didn't expect was that when he sent someone to Ningguo Mansion the next day, Jia Rong had already left overnight.In the huge mansion, only Youshi and Gu Qingrong were left.Although Emperor Zhengde was sure that the two of them knew Jia Rong's whereabouts, no matter how they asked, they both insisted that they didn't know.

Although Emperor Zhengde was slightly unhappy, he was not good at fussing with women and Taoists.I can only not mention it for the time being.

Later, there were indeed rumors in the court that he killed the donkey by killing the donkey.

Emperor Zhengde wanted to save his reputation.Then he issued a decree to restore the title of Ningguo Mansion and Duke Mansion, and also stated that the hereditary descended from three generations.
