The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

This time, several ministers of the Ministry of Justice went south together. On the surface, the person in charge should be Lord Gao of Dali Temple who was personally promoted by the emperor, but everyone knew that they knew that the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, who was only appointed by the Holy Spirit last year, and Mr. Liu. Several colleagues under him didn't buy into Mr. Gao's account, and within a few days of boarding the ship, there was a vague incident of fighting against the court.

The two emperors in the palace were fighting for each other, and the officials below were naturally divided into factions.Even though there are people who have a heart for the common people and intend to split up and persuade the two sides to shake hands and make peace for the time being, and state affairs are the most important thing, they have given up their minds after suffering from soft nails.After all, these two adults are dependent on each other, and their official positions are high, so they cannot afford to be offended.

Before arriving at Quanzhou Port, the two sides have already become a fire and water situation. Master Gao and Master Liu are not talking about meeting each other, and the people below even had a fight with fists and kicks, which angered one of the companions The old imperial censor became furious, scolding several people for being insulting to the gentlemen and for being a debtor to the emperor, and when he got back to his cabin, he wrote a memorial to him.

Jia Lian and others did not receive the same imperial decree as they did, so they were naturally not with the people from the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment when they boarded the boat.Moreover, both Mr. Gao and Mr. Liu Shilang had some inexplicable feelings of ostracism and contempt for Jia Lian. Their subordinates watched their words and expressions, and they would not talk to Jia Lian's people in leisure time. Jia Lian's side also formed its own faction. Watch the dispute on the other side.

The Ministry of Industry used to have a sense of being in the same place in the six departments. This time, they were despised by others, and the chief bookkeepers never cared about it very much. They still conscientiously did their duties, and they were still in the mood to say a few words in their spare time. To put it mildly, it is because the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment caused such a disturbance, and the case was delayed later, but they could both be dismissed from office regardless of each other.Jia Lian just smiled when he heard this, and neither participated nor stopped him. In fact, the words and deeds of the people on both sides were secretly reported by special personnel.

The case of guarding against the enemy and treason was never heard of until Jia Lian's death in the previous life, so when the news came out that day, Jia Lian was really taken aback and caught off guard.But after he thought about it, since he had changed his fate against the sky, it is normal for things to change from time to time, but he didn't have to be afraid to do his best and then obey the fate, and his heart was much calmer.

Yang Yuan had originally intended to assign the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice to be in Ming Dynasty, and then ordered Prime Minister Jia Lian to investigate the matter secretly. Seeing his calm expression, he couldn't help but feel more at ease. Jia Lian was awarded the soldier talisman to mobilize the guards in one place, allowing him to act cheaply.

Regardless of the Ministry of Justice or the Dali Temple, if they are really restraining each other and consuming each other as the lurking people hoped, Jia Lian just took the opportunity to make arrangements to find out the ulterior motives among the court officials.If he can get his wish at that time, it will be a clue if he follows the clues to check.

Within two days after arriving at Quanzhou Port, a master bookkeeper and two scribes in Dali Temple vomited and vomited and fell down on the couch, unable to get up. They invited a well-known local doctor to have a careful examination, and they only said It was due to acclimatization to the soil and water, and no other faults could be found, so I prescribed a mild prescription for recuperation.

The three of them couldn't move, but they dared not disobey the emperor's order. Gao Liu and his wife sat down holding their noses and talked for a while, then they decided to set off first, leaving the three of them in Quanzhou for careful diagnosis and treatment, and came back after they recovered. Join the crowd.After the discussion, someone went to inform Jia Lian.

In terms of rank, Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment was only half a rank higher than Jia Lian. This kind of behavior would be too condescending, and even the best tempered people in the Ministry of Industry would be somewhat annoyed.Jia Lian smiled slightly, indicating to the unfriendly subordinates not to speak, then gently told the visitor that he knew and would leave on time.

The visitor was still a little apprehensive at first, fearing that Jia Shilang, the celebrity in front of His Majesty, would use him as a raft, but he didn't expect Jia Lian to be so talkative, so he felt a little contemptuous for a moment, and casually picked up the thing that had been left cold by the side. Tea, ready to take a sip before going back to report.

Unexpectedly, just as he picked up the teacup, the servant who had been standing beside Jia Lian suddenly raised his hand and threw a piece of silver over, directly smashing the cup, and the warm tea spilled all over him.

The man was a little confused, but Jia Lian's smile was the same as before, even seeing his blank expression, he explained kindly: "Master Gao and Master Liu discussed such a big matter, but I never helped to share one or two. , It is indeed my dereliction of duty, but it is tiring for you to run this trip, and you can spend this money on two or two drinks to warm your body."

As soon as Jia Lian's words fell, several officials from the Ministry of Industry who were sitting with him in the room burst into laughter, all beaming with joy, until he was ashamed to the ground, and retreated hastily without even picking up the tea leaves on his robes.

After such a quarrel, both Gao and Liu wanted to break up with the Ministry of Industry. After all, they were not an errand, but they were persuaded by their subordinates.It's just that even though they were still traveling together, when the day came when they changed carriages and left the city, they all ignored Jia Lian together, got in the carriage and hurried on without even saying hello.

Jia Lian had already figured out the details of the people on both sides, and the three "sick" people in the city were also properly watched, so they didn't bother to blame them, and followed them quietly with others, as if they were ignorant of all the strange things around them. unconscious.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, when Jia Lian and his party were staying at the post station, they met Yan Ran, the general manager of Qian who led his soldiers and traveled more than [-] miles to change defenses.It was logical that the two sides hit it off, and then walked together, and those in the previous team who deliberately played tricks or behaved suspiciously were also screened out silently.

Afterwards, the road went smoothly until they arrived at Jinfeng County where the accident occurred. When the convoy was passing through the mountain road, it encountered heavy rain. The rainwater carried the rocks down, and half of the hillside collapsed with a loud noise, burying Mr. Liu and his party in the mud. under the stone.The car of Jia Lian and others fell at the end, and they rushed out almost in a breath, trying to save Mr. Gao who was following behind.

The terrified people's cries for help, Jia Lian and the others' shouts to each other, seemed to be drowned out by the heavy rain and the sound of falling rocks, and they were invisible in the world but no one knew about it.

The imperial envoy lost several people due to natural disasters, and the emperor was furious as soon as the news spread to the palace.The aging king almost instinctively suspected that his son who had already won the throne was playing tricks, and wanted to cut off the hands he had left in the court.Otherwise, with so many people, why did only his people have an accident?The emperor has ruled the universe for decades, and the most disbelieving thing is the sky.In his life, how many things he has done in the name of heaven, he himself is a little unclear. Under natural disasters, most of them are man-made disasters.

The emperor openly reprimanded Yang Yuan in the Hanzhang Palace, and the father and son were at war, which naturally affected both inside and outside the court.Although the ordinary officials and common people outside the palace did not know what was inside, they clearly felt the changes in the patrolling soldiers in the city. Even the inspection at the city gate was much stricter than before, which made people feel uneasy.

When the Xue family arrived in Beijing, they encountered strict investigations by the city gate officials. Even if they reported the names of Wang Ziteng and Rongguo Mansion, they only exchanged for the peace of Xue Wang and Xue Baochai's mother and daughter. They cannot go straight to the capital as Xue Pan imagined before.

Xue Pan felt unlucky, but because he was a newcomer, he didn't dare to make mistakes at the feet of the emperor, so he could only bear it with hatred.Mrs. Xue Wang was also a little annoyed, holding her beloved daughter with a gloomy expression, she just waited until she saw her sisters and relatives to make a fuss about it.

It wasn't until they arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion that the people in Jia's Mansion asked them to go straight in through the side door, and Mrs. Wang personally brought her daughter-in-law and children to greet them outside the second gate. Only then did Wang Xue feel much happier in her heart. There were tears of reunion with my sister after a long absence.
