Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

After being ill for a long time, Jia Daishan finally bid farewell to this world surrounded by his wife, children and grandchildren.

Because of Jia Daishan's rare tenderness before he left, Jia's mother's grief became more and more severe. At that time, she cried and fainted, and she has not recovered from lying on the bed.Jia Sheji was busy with the human relations ahead, and also had to prepare for Jia Daishan's funeral. He couldn't separate himself from him at all. Jia Zheng, on the other hand, said he would take care of Jia's mother. He seldom went forward. He just volunteered to help write the funeral Posts, sacrificial rites and other things, Jia Amnesty was wary of Jia Zheng, and wished that he would not go out, so he agreed.It's just that in the eyes of Jia's mother, it is inevitable that she will be a little more unhappy, thinking that Jia Amnesty really has a estrangement from Jia Zheng, and deliberately does not give him a chance to show his face.

Poor Jia Daishan, before he died, he was full of reluctance and worry, so he tried to persuade Jia's mother, but after only one day after he left, Jia's mother put all these words to the back of his mind. Needless to say, under the impetus of Jia's mother, Jia pardoned Jia Zheng and his brothers, and they went further and further.

Mrs. Zhang is weak, so how could she have the energy to take care of such an important matter as the funeral? When Mrs. Jia called for Mrs. Zhang to cook, Ms. Zhang refused immediately: "It's not that my daughter-in-law is ignoring the overall situation because of personal interests. In fact, I am not very energetic now. Master The dignified Rong Guogong, what status, and the people who come and go to pay homage are all princes and dignitaries. If something goes wrong at this moment, will our family lose face? The daughter-in-law really dare not hold on to the limelight to take over this job. If you make a mistake, your daughter-in-law will die!"

Jia's mother was displeased: "You are young, there is no taboo to say that you are not dead!" She gave Zhang a little face, but when it comes to this point, she can't go on talking, and she can't force Zhang Shi took over the errand, if Zhang Shi was really exhausted, where did she make a mistake or was exhausted, wouldn't the people behind poke her back?

In the end, the funeral ceremony was handed over to Jia Jing's wife, Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Wang cooperated to handle it, and Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law also came to help.Naturally, the wives of the clan were not left behind either. Mrs. Jia Dairu helped the clansmen who came to pay homage. Mrs. Jia Daixiu took the job of taking care of the mourning hall. day.The servants shuttled back and forth, hung up the white cloth spirit banners that had been prepared long ago, arranged the mourning hall, sent messages to relatives and friends everywhere, arranged funerals, and worked hard for the subsequent memorial service.

I received the news early this morning, and looking at Jia She's notes, I was a little silent and depressed.

Cheng Engong sighed: "According to this year, many old people have gone. Although this Jia Daishan is slippery, he is very good at doing things, extremely capable, and very measured. Now Go, the emperor is missing an arm."

The emperor was also concerned about this matter. At first, hundreds of civilians were killed and injured in the rebellion, but since the suppression of the rebellion, many senior lords have passed away.In the past, the emperor naturally looked at them with dislike, but it was because during the rebellion, he promoted too many officials who were born as civilians. Now the nobles in the imperial court have lost these important leaders, and their power has been greatly reduced. Suppressed, although it is not obvious now, but many people have already started to raise their tails.The emperor was displeased, and looking at the excerpt, he agreed more and more with what Cheng Engong said, Jia Daishan died at a really inappropriate time.

"Before Jia Qing passed away, he gave me a Taoist scripture. He said that he wanted to serve me with a little effort, and didn't want to be crippled...but I felt ashamed. A few days ago, I really wronged Jia Qing. It's gone." On the surface, Jia Daishan did a perfect job, and outsiders only thought that he had a relapse of his old illness and couldn't bear it, but those who knew the inside knew that Jia Daishan was just giving him face again and covering it up for him.

The emperor's goal is to be a generation of Mingjun who will remain in history. How can there be such a scandal as forcing his subjects to death?Just because of Jia Daishan's intention, the emperor believed that he was loyal.After pondering for a while, he said: "Anyway, he is also a meritorious minister after the meritorious service. Let's give him a posthumous title of loyalty and trustworthiness, which is also my sympathy."

Cheng Engong and the other senior ministers who have some friendship with Jia Daishan are all wise emperors: "Mr. Rong is so loved by the emperor, I think it will be a smooth journey."

The emperor smiled, although he knew that there was a lot of water in it, but after all, people like to listen. He thought that he gave Jia Daishan a posthumous title of loyalty and trust, and he really treated the Rongguo Mansion preferentially. Cheng Engong and others spoke like this Si was sincere and sincere, and the depression in the emperor's heart because of Jia Daishan's death was instantly swept away.

But there was the one who didn't open his eyes and rushed to pour cold water on the emperor Xing's head.The newly appointed minister of rites, Liang Rong, was promoted in front of his superior who died in the rebellion. Suddenly he took a step forward, bent down and raised his voice, "Your Majesty, I think this is not right, Mr. Rong He Dehe!" Can, can you be loyal and trustworthy? Although there are no big mistakes, there are many faults in small things. Thanks to the emperor's kindness, he was spared from punishment. Such a person really cannot be loyal and trustworthy, please take it back!"

Liang Rong was originally from a poor family. He was young and talented, but because of his poor family, he almost couldn't continue his studies. He became a Jinshi in his thirties. Fortunately, he was favored by the house teacher back then, and he was able to do it in the same year. Making friends, he climbed to the position of the third rank, and Xiaochao Shi can also occupy a position in the hall.

Liang Rong has a lot of ability to do things, but he has a problem. He has some opinions on Xungui's family. He often interacts with his colleagues from Xungui's family. He keeps his mouth shut and the people who are choked can't speak, and his popularity is very bad.If some literati hadn't regarded it as a man of character and praised it as a banner among poor scholars, and the emperor wanted him to make the knife in Qingliu, the emperor would have been impatient to see him.

What Liang Rong shouldn't do most is to demote all people from rich and noble backgrounds to the dust when belittling the noble children, as if all the children who live better are all poor people, and only those who come from poor people like him are the real ones. People who are beneficial to their family and country have completely forgotten that in terms of wealth, who in the world can outshine the royal family?In the family of the world, the most noble family in the world, every dynasty, there are always foolish and confused monarchs, the emperor thinks too much, even though he knows that Liang Rong has no intention of insinuating, the emperor still has to feel comfortable.

His interest was disturbed by the most hated Liang Rong. The emperor looked at Liang Rong with a cold face: "The Rongguo Mansion attacked the founding father of the country. Jia Qing fought for the country in the battlefield when he was young. Later, he assisted me and dedicated himself to the court. Such a credit , but still can't take the word "loyalty and trustworthiness"? Then according to what Liang Qing saw, how can he be worthy of it?!"

Liang Rong could hear the emperor's displeasure, but he refused to please Xungui, bowed his head and said, "When the traitor Youming rebelled, the entire Rongguo Mansion was safe and sound, and the Duke of Rongguo can no longer take care of this matter. A word of loyalty..."

Before he finished speaking, a notebook flew over and hit him right on the head. It was not heavy, but it made his heart tremble suddenly. Liang Rong knelt down suddenly, gritting his teeth and refused to change his words: "Your Majesty, All the words from my heart..."

The emperor refused to listen again: "Although Jia Qing has made mistakes in small details, but looking at his life, he has done more merits than demerits to the court. There is no need to change the word loyalty and trustworthiness. Zhongshu Sheren, draft the decree and pass it on." Eyeing Liang Rong, he waved to the others, "That's it for today, all you gentlemen, step down." He flung his sleeves and left.

In his rage, the emperor ransacked a group of nobles and nobles. Many old people couldn't stand it anymore. Now that the two factions in the imperial court were out of balance, causing a lot of trouble, the emperor was not without remorse , but the identity of the Ninth Five-Year Lord made him unable to say the word regret.Naturally, these things became a taboo in his heart.This Liang Rong is really annoying...

Liang Rong didn't dare to get up until the emperor's ceremonial frame was far away. When he looked up, he saw Cheng Engong's relatives, Xungui, sneering at him and walking out. come out.All the way out of the main hall, the censor Zhang Yuan who had a good relationship with Liang Rong said, "When will you change your bad temper? I, the censor, have offended more people than you. Don't look at it. At that time, the faces of the emperor and Cheng Engong were so ugly."

Liang Rong muttered softly: "I'm not wrong!"

Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes angrily: "The emperor doesn't like to bring up these things again, you don't know, and you still hit the muzzle of the gun."

Liang Rong plausibly said: "I was right! Rong Guogong's corpse is a vegetarian meal, and the status of the Duke of the country. In these years, apart from making good friends with other honorable families, what benefits have you gained from the court? I still have doubts about the word loyalty, letter word, hum , the master who betrayed the master and voted for another, also deserves this word!"

Zhang Yuan's face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "I kindly persuade you, but you are more and more superior. It was good for Mr. Rong to vote for another master back then, but he voted for the Holy One. Don't you want to make arrangements for Shangguan's house?!" No way Rather implicate him.Zhang Yuan refused to talk to Liang Rong any more, and turned around to leave.

Seeing that he had gone far, Liang Rong felt a little regretful, but he has been promoted all the way recently, and he is determined to make the new official take up three positions, so that people can see his ability as the new Minister of Rites, and finally think that he has done nothing wrong. On the contrary, he upholds etiquette and advice, and the emperor has no choice but to accept him, but next time he encounters something, he will say what should be said.Not long after that, a series of incidents in the Rongguo Mansion came up, and Liang Rong jumped out to impeach him. The appearance of "I said so" finally annoyed him, and he would rather waste his energy and promote talents to replace him. He also refused to keep him in front of his eyes, and demoted him out of the capital, which will not be mentioned later.

It is only said that the imperial decree entered the Rongguo Mansion, and the posthumous title of Zhongxin came out. Jia Mu's illness seemed to be cured for the most part. She thanked her happily and took the Zhang family and Wang family to burn incense for Jia Daishan. She stood in front of the coffin and looked at the lying. Jia Daishan, who was inside, was talking ramblingly.

At first, Mrs. Zhang thought that Jiamu was in a momentary mood, but unexpectedly Jiamu kept going back and forth, from the sun rising to the setting sun, she never stopped.It was only then that she was vigilant, but it was too late.When she received the decree, she was wearing a lot of make-up, and she had to kneel again at Jia Daishan's coffin. After a few hours, her legs were already numb, her chest felt tight, and double images began to appear in front of her eyes.

Zhang's cold sweat soaked the ground, but Jia's mother didn't seem to see it at all, and she kept talking to Jia Daishan.The word filial piety is on the top, and Wang is still burning paper money for Jia Daishan. How can Zhang say that he can't stand kneeling for Jia Daishan?

There were bursts of throbbing pain in her chest, and Mrs. Zhang shook her body. Before Mama Su could react, she couldn't hold on anymore and fell headfirst on the blue and white marble beside her.

Before she fell into a coma, she heard Jia's mother screaming: "This silly child, why don't you say you are unwell..."
