Amnesty's daily life
Chapter 168
When people grow up, they will lose many things, one of which is impulsiveness.
Let’s just say that Prince Lian is well, even though he knew that Emperor Changqing might be tortured by Jia Amnesty, he still calmly went back to his room to rest. If he didn't want to, he rushed out to escort Emperor Changqing.
Of course, the same is true for Jia Amnesty.
He said that he wanted to see Emperor Changqing and asked to be dismissed from office, but he was not really stupid enough to ignore it, at least he had to inquire about all aspects of the news before he came out.Among them, the most important thing is the news that was inadvertently revealed in front of Emperor Changqing earlier.
Jia Amnesty first asked Mother Jia about Jia Zheng's stay in Ruzhou, but what Mother Jia knew was not exhaustive. Things that have been politically beautified have almost no reference value.As a last resort, Jia Amnesty had no choice but to suggest that Mother Jia bring Mrs. Wang back from her natal home. Naturally, this suggestion was rejected by Mother Jia without hesitation, and even got angry because of it.
There is no reliable news from Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang was taken back by her natal father and brother, and she wanted to ask the little nurse who was with Jia Zheng at that time, but most of them were left in Ruzhou. One followed Jia Zheng back to the capital, but he didn't quite know what was going on inside.
In desperation, Jia Amnesty was forced to choose the most stupid way, which was to leave Beijing overnight with his confidants and rush to Ruzhou.
When the news came, Twelve was stunned.
In the past few days, Twelve has been wandering around several famous Confucian homes in the world, and only showed his face in front of people when the second bedroom brother was full moon, and even if he came back to rest when he was next to him, he always came. If you go in a hurry, you can't find anyone at all.Because of this, when Twelve came over and wanted to find Jia Amnesty, he was surprised to find that his stupid father had actually gone to Ruzhou in pursuit of the so-called truth.
In Rongxi Hall, Twelve seriously asked for Nala Shuxian's opinion: "I'm sending someone to chase after me now, is there still time?"
Nala Shuxian was lying on the couch, beside Jing brother who was sleeping on her back, she didn't care about Jing brother, the bed on the left and right was big enough, although the child's sleeping appearance was a bit bad, but it was safe and sound. Don't worry about the problem of tumbling and falling.After hearing Twelve's words, Nala Shuxian raised her eyelids, and said casually, "What are you chasing after? It's only a short distance from Ruzhou to the left and right, and your father rushed there with great speed. Within a month, he will definitely be able to catch up with you." back."
"One month..." The day lily was cold.
"What's the matter? Could it be that there is something urgent?" Nala Shuxian wondered, "Is it just that the Second Master Zheng has been detained? Don't say that the charges have not been confirmed yet, even if he is really sentenced, he will still die. ?”
Of course it is impossible to die, the former prince has committed treason, the eldest prince even dared to plan a mutiny, and several important ministers who have been relied on by Emperor Changqing before, even if all the evidence of crime is conclusive, they are still alive ?
Emperor Changqing's temperament is there, and he will not kill others easily.Of course, if Emperor Changqing got angry one day and really killed someone, no one would feel wronged for him, but would think that he deserved to die.
As for Jia Zheng's matter, what is certain now is that he has nothing to do with what happened on the other side of Jiangnan, which is another crime.Considering that the weather in Ruzhou has been smooth in the past two years, it is not a big deal even if there are a few cases occasionally, so the only possibility is corruption and bribery.
Twelve went through the news he had inquired in his mind, and immediately changed into a sad expression, and said: "If there is no accident, Uncle Zheng should have been taken down by the Holy One for taking bribes. In other words, it happened that the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River happened to happen at that time, so they simply broke out together. But after waiting for a while, the Holy Lord had a heavy state affairs, and I'm afraid he had already forgotten it, so he didn't get angry at the first time. Second uncle What's more, the person from the south of the Yangtze River has arrived, and the Holy Majesty, who remembered this, probably also remembered Uncle Zheng by the way..."
"So he was brought in by the way, and after dealing with the incident in the south of the Yangtze River, he was forgotten?" Nala Shuxian couldn't believe it, "I thought only Qianlong would think about it. I never thought that that person would be a willful person."
"Why did the same thing happen to Qianlong when he thought about it, but when he put it on..." The expression on Twelve Faces became even more sad, "Forget it, no matter how unlucky it is, the second uncle is miserable! Now I just want to I know, who is the good guy who read his book, book... Hey, can't it be a stupid father?!"
Nala Shuxian gave him an extremely sad look, and nodded at the same time: "Although there is no evidence, I guess your father did it." Besides Jia She, who else would do that?
The point is, what is the benefit of suing Jia Zheng?
Don't look at corruption and bribery as if it is serious, but in fact, this crime is not serious at all.There is a saying that in the three years of the Qing Dynasty, the magistrate had [-] snowflakes of silver. In a sense, officials' corruption and bribery are allowed by today's world.Even sometimes, in order to reward some confidant officials, the emperor would throw his confidants to those lucrative lands and indulge them to make money.
Of course, there must be a limit to everything, and it must not be overdone.Let's just say that the magistrate is fine, it's okay to save one hundred thousand snowflake silver in three years, but what if it's one million?What about two or three million?That's embarrassing.Another example is military generals, who occasionally receive some spare pay, or take a little from military supplies, that is nothing, but if it causes unpredictable and terrible consequences, then the former Lord Baoling is a good example.
"Then why did the stupid father want Uncle Xingzheng?" Twelve was a little dazed, vaguely, he guessed a certain possibility, but still struggled to believe it.
Unfortunately, Nala Shuxian said without hesitation: "As you said, stupid."
twelve:"……"
In good conscience, Jia Amnesty is really stupid.However, it would be too harsh to put all the responsibility on him, after all, he was really careless.Who can be blamed?Isn't it since he forcibly returned all the money that Rongguo Mansion owed to the treasury, a total of 80 taels of snowflake silver!Even though the Rongguo Mansion has always been rich and wealthy, it would still hurt to take out 80 taels of silver all at once.
The cash is nothing more than that, and none of the utensils that were given away to repay the debt are bad. They are all good things that you can't buy anywhere if you have money, or you can only find them by chance.The results of it?As far as Jia Amnesty said, not to mention giving up a large amount of silver, the entire warehouse in the public house was emptied. If Jia's mother and two families hadn't moved 10 taels of silver from their private houses later, the Rongguo Mansion might not even be able to survive. The daily rituals and annual ceremonies cannot be done.If this is the case, then the face is really unnecessary.
Normal people would be angry when such a thing happened?
Mother Jia is also a normal person, even though she is full of shortcomings, it cannot be denied that her thinking is the same as that of most people.In vain, the mansion lost a huge sum of money, what else can she do as a woman but feel distressed?
——It can also force the second son Jia Zheng to embezzle and accept bribes, in order to get back the money he gave up as soon as possible.
This idea is quite intoxicating, but because of Jia Mu's firmness, Jia Zheng is a filial son, and Mrs. Wang is a person who is interested in money...
It is no exaggeration to say that Jia Zheng's corruption is inevitable.The mistake was that Jia Zheng informed Jia Mu of the progress of the corruption in every detail. Of course, he did not disclose the details, but only informed the amount of corruption.Even so, Jia's mother was so happy that she recited Buddha directly.
"It's still my political ability. I won the support of the gentry in Ruzhou after only two months of going there. '
'So it seems that the second daughter-in-law is quite good, at least in terms of making money, ten eldest daughter-in-laws are not as good as one second daughter-in-law! '
'I've done the math, it will take two years, Zheng'er may earn 30 yuan, right?No, it can't be that few, there must be more.Hmph, maybe that Mrs. Wang secretly moved money into her private treasury!That's all, left and right she is also reserved for my Zhu'er and Sister Yuan, not to mention her. '
'...'
In Jiamu's intensive and uninterrupted bombardment, Jia Amnesty was forced to receive a lot of news that he didn't want to know at all. He didn't even try to hide it, as long as he stayed in the Rongguo Mansion, he would definitely hear all kinds of praises for Jia Zheng from all directions.
That's why Jia Amnesty slipped his tongue inadvertently in front of Emperor Changqing.
——Of course, the real reason is because he is stupid.
The idiot Jia She doesn't know that his favorite daughter-in-law and the third son he once loved are desperately complaining about him. In fact, he has encountered a little bit of trouble.
Going from the capital to Ruzhou, if you don’t rush, it will take ten to 20 days. Even if the weather is bad and the road conditions are bad, it will take a month at most.But because Jia She rushed to Ruzhou in a hurry, and it was already the beginning of May, he arrived in Ruzhou in only seven or eight days.In addition, when he left Beijing, he fished out the boy in front of Jia Zheng, and then he found Jia Zheng's place in Ruzhou smoothly.
Generally speaking, there was no problem, and it was easy to inquire about information. Jia Amnesty even found all the evidence in the house where Jia Zheng didn't take any protective measures before he left.
There are evidences of Jia Zheng buying and selling officials, the antique jade calligraphy and painting utensils Mrs. Wang asked for under various names, and the so-called ice charcoal filial piety, but the number is more than ten times more than normal.Coincidentally, Jia Zheng never concealed it, and even Mrs. Wang's concealment method was not very clever. Of course, it may be because Mrs. Wang left too hastily at the beginning, and because she felt that she would return to Ruzhou soon, even extremely. It is possible to achieve this point because of her confidant maid.
For these things, Jia Amnesty was surprised but accepted it calmly, after all, this was something that was expected before coming here.But the trouble is, how are these pregnant women going to give birth?
Anyway, Jia Amnesty was already an experienced person, so he didn't need to look closely, he could roughly estimate the other party's month with just a glance.The one with the biggest belly was probably seven or eight months old, and the smallest one was probably left by Jia Zheng before he hurried back to Beijing. Now his belly is also swollen, and it's been three or four months at least.As for the ones that are not in the middle, then guess for yourself.
"Tell me about the situation." Jia Amnesty pinched the center of his brows, looking like he was having a splitting headache.
It may be that when Jia Zheng left Ruzhou in a hurry, he thought that he would return soon, so he didn't try to settle these concubines, but now that Jia Amnesty has come, he intends to leave Jia Zheng behind. All the things in Ruzhou, including the servants, were brought back to the capital.
Naturally, it also includes Jia Zheng's concubines and housekeepers.
"If you pardon the elder, they are all aunts who have opened their faces and crossed the road." Aunt Zhao, as the oldest and most experienced old man here, can naturally reply to Jia Amnesty on their behalf.
But this is completely missing the point!
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Even if you are pregnant with a child, even if you haven't passed Minglu before, you can only pass it now. Come on, just tell me how old they are, and can you go!" The last sentence is the most important.
Aunt Zhao thought about it for a moment, and then introduced with a smile: "This Aunt Wen was found pregnant shortly after my wife returned to Beijing. She was originally a concubine from a gentry family in Ruzhou. I have always attached great importance to her, and she is now eight months pregnant. There is also this Aunt Jiang and this Aunt Lin, both of whom were sent by the old lady to come with me. Aunt Jiang is pregnant It's been six months, and Aunt Lin's is a little more than five and a half months, and the days of the two are not far apart. As for this..."
Finally, when it came to the youngest and most beautiful one, Aunt Zhao's eyes dodged a little, and she forced a smile after a while and said: "This is my decision to promote, if my wife blames me later, I will go to her and ask her for forgiveness. She, she is the youngest in the month, worthy of three months."
"Stop talking nonsense! Can we go?" Jia Amnesty asked impatiently.
"I don't think so." Aunt Zhao sighed, "If Master Xi insists on us rushing back to the capital, there is nothing we can do."
Jia Amnesty's face was dark. If Jia Zheng was here, he would definitely beat to death that stupid younger brother who only caused trouble but didn't deal with the aftermath without hesitation!But the problem is, no matter how deep his resentment is, the matter in front of him has to be dealt with.
After much consideration, Jia Amnesty decided to divide the army into two groups.
He was still leading the way, and sent the money and criminal evidence to the capital as quickly as possible.The other road is full of the old and the weak, women and children, and the small nursing home that was left behind, not seeking speed but seeking safety.
But having said that, if something really happened, Jia Amnesty would definitely not feel any guilt, after all, in his opinion, all this was the fault of his stupid brother!
……
Due to the delay of two days due to troublesome matters, when Jia She and his party returned to the capital again, it was already the second half of May.
The first thing Jia Amnesty did when he returned to the capital was not to go back to the manor to report his safety, nor to change clothes to rest quickly, but to rush to the outside of the palace with everything he had harvested from Ruzhou, and directly pleaded with the first-class general Meet the Evergreen Emperor.
The rule of this court is that officials of the third rank and above can directly write the notebook and submit it to the imperial case, but for the officials below the third rank, except for a few special positions, such as Yushitai, the officials next to it do not even have the right to hand over the notebook .Of course, if there is something to do, it can also be discounted, but the people below will first check and select, and then hand it over to the imperial case.
With Jia Amnesty's official position and rank, he was able to pass the booklet to Emperor Changqing, but there was a time lag in between.According to the usual practice, it took at least one to two days from handing over the booklet to Emperor Changqing's review.
But Jia Amnesty couldn't wait.
"This general wants to see the Holy Majesty!" Jia She played the final hole card, he is a first-class general!
——Although he is as cowardly as he is, if he really goes to the battlefield, he will be scared stupid when he sees the enemy.
Then I'll see you, after all, they even took out their ancestral titles, so what else can they do?The guards at the gate of the palace rushed to report, but Jia She also stayed at the gate of the city all night, and it was only just dawn.The morning court in the palace has come to an end, most of the things have been dealt with, and the rest are only some insignificant things.
Early in the morning, Emperor Changqing received the letter and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is it important?" After a pause, he nodded his head in agreement, "Then let him in." Then he called Prince Lian to come forward and ask, "Fourth brother , do you know what's going on with Marquis Jia En?"
Prince Lian looked at Emperor Changqing expressionlessly, and said in a sad voice: "It's definitely not a good thing!"
These words are a kind of prophecy, learned from the lessons of blood and tears.
Emperor Changqing: "..." The fourth child must have suffered a lot.
While waiting for Jia Amnesty to enter the palace, Emperor Changqing and Prince Lian had a rare sympathy for each other, and it was still the kind of sympathy that both felt that the other was worse than themselves.As for the courtiers next to them, they made a calm look of watching their noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, and noses. She got the pigtail, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.
After another moment, Jia Amnesty was ushered into the court.
After a thud, Jia Amnesty knelt down on the hall in a prostration posture. His voice was so loud and his expression so tragic that people couldn't help but look sideways and feel even more uneasy.
"Your Majesty! My second brother has done such things as being inferior to pigs and dogs and endangering the imperial court. I am really embarrassed to be an official anymore. Your Majesty, just let me go back to my hometown to farm, anyway, I will have no face You. I have failed Your Majesty’s trust, and our whole family has failed you! You let me go back and educate my stupid brother first, and I will take the imperial examination again later and come to see you again. Your Majesty, please help me! !"
In the court hall, everyone including Prince Lian, who had already guessed a little beforehand, looked dumbfounded.
All I could hear was Jia Amnesty pleading guilty on his knees and crying loudly. What he said was an attitude of pleading guilty and admitting his mistakes, even so serious that he was about to be dismissed from office?So... what happened?
"Wait, what happened?" Emperor Changqing asked everyone's thoughts.
Jia She cried miserably and said: "It's my stupid brother's fault, he failed your trust! How could he do this? My father died early, and my mother is a housewife. Well, it’s just that I’m too petty, and I only care about petty profits all day long, disregarding my family and the world, so I raised my brother wrongly. He, he...actually embezzled and accepted bribes!!”
After being stunned, everyone present showed the look of "you are kidding me".
Emperor Changqing coughed lightly, as if thinking of something, he said: "Is it because I detained Duke Rong's second son together earlier? It was my negligence. I just wanted to teach him a lesson. I was busy at the moment, but unexpectedly Totally forgotten."
"No, no, Holy Majesty, you are not at fault, it is my stupid younger brother who is at fault! No, I am at fault too, my father died early..." Jia She said while recalling the old days when Jia Mu was in his mind. Those words that I often chanted, even the tone and expression, "My brother is young and ignorant, but my father died early, he died too early, too early, if he failed to teach my brother well, he let go The world is gone, leaving only us orphans and widows to depend on each other."
After thinking about it for a while, Jia She felt that the beginning of this question seemed a bit wrong, and hurriedly changed his words: "Anyway, it was my father who died early! He died young! Our whole family misses him very much! "
Hearing these words, Emperor Changqing couldn't help but his veins twitched.
It is true that Jia Daishan, Duke of Rongguo, died in vain, but if he died young, he did not see him. After all, when he passed away, among the two sons and four daughters he gave birth to, except Jia Min, who was the youngest, had never been married. Not only are they all married, but they have already had children.In fact, Jia Daishan passed away after the eldest son of the first house, brother Hu, died, and after the eldest daughter of the second house, sister Yuan, was born.
Therefore, what Jia She just said about orphans and widows being dependent on each other is pure nonsense! !
However, due to the fact that Rong Guogong Jia Daishan had passed away for many years, and he had indeed made great military exploits, Emperor Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and finally did not open his mouth to dislike Jia She.However, even with such a hesitation, Jia Amnesty said something even more astonishing.
"My father died early! My younger brother was born in the hands of a woman. Although he is very filial, he doesn't know right from wrong. He is stupid, clumsy and dull. He is a complete fool!" Jia She said With mixed regret on his face, "My father died early, and as the eldest brother, all of this is my fault. My lord, please dismiss my official immediately, and I will go back to the mansion to teach my stupid brother well, and I will not teach him well. Now, I will never enter an official career again!"
Emperor Changqing looked at Jia She deeply.
He was really moved by what Jia She said before.Compared with a group of courtiers with different thoughts below, Emperor Changqing thinks that he saw a pure minister, a loyal minister, a child who can be met but not sought after!
So, he refused.
"Enhou, you are fine. Jia Zheng's fault should not be borne by you."
It was originally!Although Rong Guogong Jia Daishan didn't live long, he didn't die young either.You know, when Jia Daishan passed away, Jia Zheng was not only married, but also had two children.As the so-called starting a family and starting a business, the definition of the latter is rather vague, but the former is obvious. Once married or even have children, this person is considered a real adult and should take full responsibility for all his words and deeds.
Don't say that Jia Zheng's charges are not serious, even if he killed himself today, Emperor Changqing didn't intend to put the blame on Jia She.
But Jia Amnesty was extremely dissatisfied. He had two purposes, one was to win Jia's government, and the other was to resign.
The two are actually not difficult, because there are such precedents in the past, but the father voluntarily resigned from office in exchange for his son's life in order to save his son who was caught in a pigtail.This kind of thing is actually done by people today in many cases. They just want to masturbate someone's official position, but they really can't find a proper reason. This makes people stare at their son and catch the wrongdoing. It's dark as hell.
Jia She felt that he could do the same, but he forgot that Emperor Changqing had no intention of doing this to him.
At that moment, Jia Amnesty was in despair.
Seeing this situation, Emperor Changqing said that it was Jia She who was worried about Jia Zheng. On the one hand, he was deeply sorry for their brotherhood, and on the other hand, he persuaded him very understandingly: "Don't worry, Jia Zheng's crime will not result in death."
This is true, it's just corruption, as long as you hand over all the proceeds to the treasury, and then put on a sincere attitude of admitting your mistakes, basically nothing will happen.Of course, losing an official position is inevitable, but very few people die because of this crime.
"My lord, I want to resign!" Jia She begged tearfully.
"Oh, Enhou, you are a good official and a good brother. I understand you."
To be honest, Jia Amnesty was a little confused.What did he do to make Emperor Changqing have such an illusion?good official?Good brother?That's all for the former. Although he has never done anything good since he became an official, he also hasn't done anything wicked. At most, he just made a fuss.But what the hell is the latter?If Jia Zheng knew about this, he might be able to spurt a mouthful of Ling Xiao's blood on the spot.
"Your Majesty, I..." Jia Amnesty continued, but was interrupted by Emperor Changqing: "Okay, I understand you, I have someone call Jia Zheng to go to the imperial study, how about letting you take a look first? "
Before Jia She could open his mouth again, Emperor Changqing ordered someone to announce his retreat, leaving Jia She kneeling on the spot in a daze, not recovering for a long time.
——He just wanted to resign as an official, why is it so difficult?
<<
Royal study.
Since Emperor Changqing had said that Jia Zheng would be brought here, he would definitely not break his promise.Fortunately, Jia Zheng didn't go to prison before, but was temporarily detained in an idle mansion. Apart from losing his freedom, he didn't suffer any damage.
Ahem, physical and mental exhaustion is not one of them.
When Jia She rushed to the imperial study in despair, Jia Zheng had already been brought here. What Jia She didn't know was that Prince Lian's younger brother, the Fourteenth Prince, was young and curious. A prince of similar age came to the royal study.Prince Lian, who got the news, rushed to stop it, but it also aroused the interest of other older princes.
So, after Jia Amnesty arrived at the imperial study and Jia Zheng understood what was going on, the princes also sneaked into the small hall outside the imperial study. Except for the dark-faced Prince Lian, the other princes, regardless of age, It's a look of excess curiosity.
But he heard Jia Zhenghu cry bitterly.
"Holy Lord Mingjian, it was His Royal Highness Lian Wang who emptied the family property of the minister's mansion. That's a total of 80 taels of silver! It's not 8 taels or 8000 taels, it's 80 taels! Your Majesty, the minister's mansion is too poor It's really poor. It doesn't matter if I'm hungry, but I can't just watch my old mother suffer from hunger, hunger and suffering. If it wasn't for this, why would I bother to transfer to the outside world? Could it be that I don’t know the benefits of Beijing officials? The Ministry of Industry is so comfortable, if it’s not for the livelihood of the family, why would I go all the way to Ruzhou to suffer the hardships and suffer the crimes?”
"Oh, so you are still innocent?" Emperor Changqing said with a cold face.
"This is for filial piety, this is for filial piety!" Jia Zheng was unwilling to admit that he was wrong, and only kept emphasizing filial piety, "My lord, if it weren't for the fact that the minister's family is too poor, why bother to do this?" Isn’t it good to be a good official? I can’t do anything about it! I have to be filial, I have to take care of my widowed mother!”
Needless to say, from this point of view, even if Jia Zheng made a mistake, the mistake was not that big. After all, this dynasty advocated filial piety, and even Emperor Changqing himself called himself a filial son.
But the problem is that Jia Zheng has the final say on this matter.Of course, the most important thing is that there is a shit stirrer named Jia She next to him.
"You are talking nonsense!!"
Jia She jumped up in front of Jia Zheng, pointed at his nose, and said angrily, "Master of heaven and earth, what's the use of you just focusing on filial piety? Filial piety is filial piety, but it's disloyal and unrighteous! Your Majesty is sorry. I'm sorry for the people, and you're sorry for our father who died early! You, you, you are nothing! What do you mean the mansion is out of money? Every meal in our house is eight meat dishes, and even the rough-in-law's meal is oily. Do you know why you can't get rid of the pot? Do you want me to send you back to someone who really can't get rid of the pot, so that you can experience it? "
"Brother, how could you..." Jia Zheng tried to explain hastily.
"Why can't I? It's really Zhumen's wine and meat stinks and the road is frozen to death. Why is our family poor? Tell me, where is it poor? Is it short of your food and drink, or your extra money? Last time Yue, the little brother in your room held the full moon wine, and he collected at least [-] to [-] yuan for the gift money alone! You actually said that our family is too poor to get rid of the pot?"
"No, what I mean is..." Seeing that Jia Amnesty went too far, Jia Zheng spoke again.
"Shut up! You are the youngest, stupidest and most useless official here, so there is no room for you to speak?" Jia Amnesty never relents when talking about Jia Zheng, especially now that there is no Jia Mu who faints from time to time Make trouble, don't hurry up and spray this idiot to death, "Okay, okay, even if our family really has no money, you won't ask your wife for a dowry? You won't ask your rich old Taishan for money? ? Won’t you sell your property to tide over the difficulties? If you don’t think about so many ways, your mind will be full of corruption and bribery. You, you, you...you are nothing at all!”
This time, before Jia Zheng found a chance to speak, Jia Amnesty knelt down in front of Emperor Changqing, crying with tears streaming down his face.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, let me resign. My younger brother is so stupid. As the eldest brother, I have an unshirkable responsibility. If it weren't for my father's early death, my mother is an ill-informed housewife." , it is not possible for my stupid brother to cause such a catastrophe. You must not believe that there is no money in the house. Don’t believe it. 80 taels, my family can afford it. It’s inevitable that you will be injured, but you will definitely not be at the end of your rope. Your Majesty, my family has money, so you must trust me!!”
Emperor Changqing stared straight ahead, and after a while he wiped his face with his hands and said, "I believe in you."
"Then, Your Majesty, you allowed me to resign?" Jia Amnesty looked at Emperor Changqing expectantly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, after resigning, I will teach my stupid brother well, and I will definitely not let my father die in shame! Alas, I blame my father for his early death, otherwise my stupid brother wouldn't have become like this. Father, why did you die so early!!"
"I won't let you resign, Marquis Jia En, you can give up." Emperor Changqing said expressionlessly, but said in his heart, wouldn't it be surprising if he dreamed of Duke Rong Jia Daishan tonight?After all, I have heard it so many times today...
"Why?" Jia She was shocked.
Jia Zheng on the side was even more shocked, but it was clear that the two had completely different priorities.Apart from other things, Jia Zheng hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself after he caught the opportunity: "Your Majesty, don't listen to my elder brother's nonsense, our family really has no money. The warehouses in the public house are all empty. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are ten rooms and nine empty spaces. And that..."
"Shut your mouth!!" Jia She turned around and yelled angrily, "If you dare to say that our family is poor, believe it or not, I will sell all the maids and women in your room, including your pretty aunts! Anyway! You are already so poor that you can’t get rid of the pot, what kind of aunt do you want to raise! Why don’t you just sell your little brother Tijiao, because our family is poor, and we definitely can’t afford a nanny. Since he was starved to death in the end, why not It’s better to sell it as soon as possible and get some money for vegetables!”
Jia Zheng was dumbfounded.
Seeing that Jia Zheng was suppressed, Jia She changed his expression in an instant, and said to Emperor Changqing miserable: "My lord, please let me resign."
"Your Majesty, our family is poor!" Even after being scolded many times by Jia She, Jia Zheng remained strong and said to Jia She, "If you really insist on selling the brothers and sisters in my house, I will agree with you." Yes! But our family is indeed very poor, you must have misremembered, all the money accumulated in our family for many years has been snatched away by His Royal Highness Lian Wang! His Royal Highness Lian Wang did not leave us anything, if not for my two During the years, I often ask people to bring money back to the mansion, I am afraid that when I return to Beijing, the old lady will be so thin that she is out of shape!"
Let’s just say that Prince Lian is well, even though he knew that Emperor Changqing might be tortured by Jia Amnesty, he still calmly went back to his room to rest. If he didn't want to, he rushed out to escort Emperor Changqing.
Of course, the same is true for Jia Amnesty.
He said that he wanted to see Emperor Changqing and asked to be dismissed from office, but he was not really stupid enough to ignore it, at least he had to inquire about all aspects of the news before he came out.Among them, the most important thing is the news that was inadvertently revealed in front of Emperor Changqing earlier.
Jia Amnesty first asked Mother Jia about Jia Zheng's stay in Ruzhou, but what Mother Jia knew was not exhaustive. Things that have been politically beautified have almost no reference value.As a last resort, Jia Amnesty had no choice but to suggest that Mother Jia bring Mrs. Wang back from her natal home. Naturally, this suggestion was rejected by Mother Jia without hesitation, and even got angry because of it.
There is no reliable news from Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang was taken back by her natal father and brother, and she wanted to ask the little nurse who was with Jia Zheng at that time, but most of them were left in Ruzhou. One followed Jia Zheng back to the capital, but he didn't quite know what was going on inside.
In desperation, Jia Amnesty was forced to choose the most stupid way, which was to leave Beijing overnight with his confidants and rush to Ruzhou.
When the news came, Twelve was stunned.
In the past few days, Twelve has been wandering around several famous Confucian homes in the world, and only showed his face in front of people when the second bedroom brother was full moon, and even if he came back to rest when he was next to him, he always came. If you go in a hurry, you can't find anyone at all.Because of this, when Twelve came over and wanted to find Jia Amnesty, he was surprised to find that his stupid father had actually gone to Ruzhou in pursuit of the so-called truth.
In Rongxi Hall, Twelve seriously asked for Nala Shuxian's opinion: "I'm sending someone to chase after me now, is there still time?"
Nala Shuxian was lying on the couch, beside Jing brother who was sleeping on her back, she didn't care about Jing brother, the bed on the left and right was big enough, although the child's sleeping appearance was a bit bad, but it was safe and sound. Don't worry about the problem of tumbling and falling.After hearing Twelve's words, Nala Shuxian raised her eyelids, and said casually, "What are you chasing after? It's only a short distance from Ruzhou to the left and right, and your father rushed there with great speed. Within a month, he will definitely be able to catch up with you." back."
"One month..." The day lily was cold.
"What's the matter? Could it be that there is something urgent?" Nala Shuxian wondered, "Is it just that the Second Master Zheng has been detained? Don't say that the charges have not been confirmed yet, even if he is really sentenced, he will still die. ?”
Of course it is impossible to die, the former prince has committed treason, the eldest prince even dared to plan a mutiny, and several important ministers who have been relied on by Emperor Changqing before, even if all the evidence of crime is conclusive, they are still alive ?
Emperor Changqing's temperament is there, and he will not kill others easily.Of course, if Emperor Changqing got angry one day and really killed someone, no one would feel wronged for him, but would think that he deserved to die.
As for Jia Zheng's matter, what is certain now is that he has nothing to do with what happened on the other side of Jiangnan, which is another crime.Considering that the weather in Ruzhou has been smooth in the past two years, it is not a big deal even if there are a few cases occasionally, so the only possibility is corruption and bribery.
Twelve went through the news he had inquired in his mind, and immediately changed into a sad expression, and said: "If there is no accident, Uncle Zheng should have been taken down by the Holy One for taking bribes. In other words, it happened that the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River happened to happen at that time, so they simply broke out together. But after waiting for a while, the Holy Lord had a heavy state affairs, and I'm afraid he had already forgotten it, so he didn't get angry at the first time. Second uncle What's more, the person from the south of the Yangtze River has arrived, and the Holy Majesty, who remembered this, probably also remembered Uncle Zheng by the way..."
"So he was brought in by the way, and after dealing with the incident in the south of the Yangtze River, he was forgotten?" Nala Shuxian couldn't believe it, "I thought only Qianlong would think about it. I never thought that that person would be a willful person."
"Why did the same thing happen to Qianlong when he thought about it, but when he put it on..." The expression on Twelve Faces became even more sad, "Forget it, no matter how unlucky it is, the second uncle is miserable! Now I just want to I know, who is the good guy who read his book, book... Hey, can't it be a stupid father?!"
Nala Shuxian gave him an extremely sad look, and nodded at the same time: "Although there is no evidence, I guess your father did it." Besides Jia She, who else would do that?
The point is, what is the benefit of suing Jia Zheng?
Don't look at corruption and bribery as if it is serious, but in fact, this crime is not serious at all.There is a saying that in the three years of the Qing Dynasty, the magistrate had [-] snowflakes of silver. In a sense, officials' corruption and bribery are allowed by today's world.Even sometimes, in order to reward some confidant officials, the emperor would throw his confidants to those lucrative lands and indulge them to make money.
Of course, there must be a limit to everything, and it must not be overdone.Let's just say that the magistrate is fine, it's okay to save one hundred thousand snowflake silver in three years, but what if it's one million?What about two or three million?That's embarrassing.Another example is military generals, who occasionally receive some spare pay, or take a little from military supplies, that is nothing, but if it causes unpredictable and terrible consequences, then the former Lord Baoling is a good example.
"Then why did the stupid father want Uncle Xingzheng?" Twelve was a little dazed, vaguely, he guessed a certain possibility, but still struggled to believe it.
Unfortunately, Nala Shuxian said without hesitation: "As you said, stupid."
twelve:"……"
In good conscience, Jia Amnesty is really stupid.However, it would be too harsh to put all the responsibility on him, after all, he was really careless.Who can be blamed?Isn't it since he forcibly returned all the money that Rongguo Mansion owed to the treasury, a total of 80 taels of snowflake silver!Even though the Rongguo Mansion has always been rich and wealthy, it would still hurt to take out 80 taels of silver all at once.
The cash is nothing more than that, and none of the utensils that were given away to repay the debt are bad. They are all good things that you can't buy anywhere if you have money, or you can only find them by chance.The results of it?As far as Jia Amnesty said, not to mention giving up a large amount of silver, the entire warehouse in the public house was emptied. If Jia's mother and two families hadn't moved 10 taels of silver from their private houses later, the Rongguo Mansion might not even be able to survive. The daily rituals and annual ceremonies cannot be done.If this is the case, then the face is really unnecessary.
Normal people would be angry when such a thing happened?
Mother Jia is also a normal person, even though she is full of shortcomings, it cannot be denied that her thinking is the same as that of most people.In vain, the mansion lost a huge sum of money, what else can she do as a woman but feel distressed?
——It can also force the second son Jia Zheng to embezzle and accept bribes, in order to get back the money he gave up as soon as possible.
This idea is quite intoxicating, but because of Jia Mu's firmness, Jia Zheng is a filial son, and Mrs. Wang is a person who is interested in money...
It is no exaggeration to say that Jia Zheng's corruption is inevitable.The mistake was that Jia Zheng informed Jia Mu of the progress of the corruption in every detail. Of course, he did not disclose the details, but only informed the amount of corruption.Even so, Jia's mother was so happy that she recited Buddha directly.
"It's still my political ability. I won the support of the gentry in Ruzhou after only two months of going there. '
'So it seems that the second daughter-in-law is quite good, at least in terms of making money, ten eldest daughter-in-laws are not as good as one second daughter-in-law! '
'I've done the math, it will take two years, Zheng'er may earn 30 yuan, right?No, it can't be that few, there must be more.Hmph, maybe that Mrs. Wang secretly moved money into her private treasury!That's all, left and right she is also reserved for my Zhu'er and Sister Yuan, not to mention her. '
'...'
In Jiamu's intensive and uninterrupted bombardment, Jia Amnesty was forced to receive a lot of news that he didn't want to know at all. He didn't even try to hide it, as long as he stayed in the Rongguo Mansion, he would definitely hear all kinds of praises for Jia Zheng from all directions.
That's why Jia Amnesty slipped his tongue inadvertently in front of Emperor Changqing.
——Of course, the real reason is because he is stupid.
The idiot Jia She doesn't know that his favorite daughter-in-law and the third son he once loved are desperately complaining about him. In fact, he has encountered a little bit of trouble.
Going from the capital to Ruzhou, if you don’t rush, it will take ten to 20 days. Even if the weather is bad and the road conditions are bad, it will take a month at most.But because Jia She rushed to Ruzhou in a hurry, and it was already the beginning of May, he arrived in Ruzhou in only seven or eight days.In addition, when he left Beijing, he fished out the boy in front of Jia Zheng, and then he found Jia Zheng's place in Ruzhou smoothly.
Generally speaking, there was no problem, and it was easy to inquire about information. Jia Amnesty even found all the evidence in the house where Jia Zheng didn't take any protective measures before he left.
There are evidences of Jia Zheng buying and selling officials, the antique jade calligraphy and painting utensils Mrs. Wang asked for under various names, and the so-called ice charcoal filial piety, but the number is more than ten times more than normal.Coincidentally, Jia Zheng never concealed it, and even Mrs. Wang's concealment method was not very clever. Of course, it may be because Mrs. Wang left too hastily at the beginning, and because she felt that she would return to Ruzhou soon, even extremely. It is possible to achieve this point because of her confidant maid.
For these things, Jia Amnesty was surprised but accepted it calmly, after all, this was something that was expected before coming here.But the trouble is, how are these pregnant women going to give birth?
Anyway, Jia Amnesty was already an experienced person, so he didn't need to look closely, he could roughly estimate the other party's month with just a glance.The one with the biggest belly was probably seven or eight months old, and the smallest one was probably left by Jia Zheng before he hurried back to Beijing. Now his belly is also swollen, and it's been three or four months at least.As for the ones that are not in the middle, then guess for yourself.
"Tell me about the situation." Jia Amnesty pinched the center of his brows, looking like he was having a splitting headache.
It may be that when Jia Zheng left Ruzhou in a hurry, he thought that he would return soon, so he didn't try to settle these concubines, but now that Jia Amnesty has come, he intends to leave Jia Zheng behind. All the things in Ruzhou, including the servants, were brought back to the capital.
Naturally, it also includes Jia Zheng's concubines and housekeepers.
"If you pardon the elder, they are all aunts who have opened their faces and crossed the road." Aunt Zhao, as the oldest and most experienced old man here, can naturally reply to Jia Amnesty on their behalf.
But this is completely missing the point!
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Even if you are pregnant with a child, even if you haven't passed Minglu before, you can only pass it now. Come on, just tell me how old they are, and can you go!" The last sentence is the most important.
Aunt Zhao thought about it for a moment, and then introduced with a smile: "This Aunt Wen was found pregnant shortly after my wife returned to Beijing. She was originally a concubine from a gentry family in Ruzhou. I have always attached great importance to her, and she is now eight months pregnant. There is also this Aunt Jiang and this Aunt Lin, both of whom were sent by the old lady to come with me. Aunt Jiang is pregnant It's been six months, and Aunt Lin's is a little more than five and a half months, and the days of the two are not far apart. As for this..."
Finally, when it came to the youngest and most beautiful one, Aunt Zhao's eyes dodged a little, and she forced a smile after a while and said: "This is my decision to promote, if my wife blames me later, I will go to her and ask her for forgiveness. She, she is the youngest in the month, worthy of three months."
"Stop talking nonsense! Can we go?" Jia Amnesty asked impatiently.
"I don't think so." Aunt Zhao sighed, "If Master Xi insists on us rushing back to the capital, there is nothing we can do."
Jia Amnesty's face was dark. If Jia Zheng was here, he would definitely beat to death that stupid younger brother who only caused trouble but didn't deal with the aftermath without hesitation!But the problem is, no matter how deep his resentment is, the matter in front of him has to be dealt with.
After much consideration, Jia Amnesty decided to divide the army into two groups.
He was still leading the way, and sent the money and criminal evidence to the capital as quickly as possible.The other road is full of the old and the weak, women and children, and the small nursing home that was left behind, not seeking speed but seeking safety.
But having said that, if something really happened, Jia Amnesty would definitely not feel any guilt, after all, in his opinion, all this was the fault of his stupid brother!
……
Due to the delay of two days due to troublesome matters, when Jia She and his party returned to the capital again, it was already the second half of May.
The first thing Jia Amnesty did when he returned to the capital was not to go back to the manor to report his safety, nor to change clothes to rest quickly, but to rush to the outside of the palace with everything he had harvested from Ruzhou, and directly pleaded with the first-class general Meet the Evergreen Emperor.
The rule of this court is that officials of the third rank and above can directly write the notebook and submit it to the imperial case, but for the officials below the third rank, except for a few special positions, such as Yushitai, the officials next to it do not even have the right to hand over the notebook .Of course, if there is something to do, it can also be discounted, but the people below will first check and select, and then hand it over to the imperial case.
With Jia Amnesty's official position and rank, he was able to pass the booklet to Emperor Changqing, but there was a time lag in between.According to the usual practice, it took at least one to two days from handing over the booklet to Emperor Changqing's review.
But Jia Amnesty couldn't wait.
"This general wants to see the Holy Majesty!" Jia She played the final hole card, he is a first-class general!
——Although he is as cowardly as he is, if he really goes to the battlefield, he will be scared stupid when he sees the enemy.
Then I'll see you, after all, they even took out their ancestral titles, so what else can they do?The guards at the gate of the palace rushed to report, but Jia She also stayed at the gate of the city all night, and it was only just dawn.The morning court in the palace has come to an end, most of the things have been dealt with, and the rest are only some insignificant things.
Early in the morning, Emperor Changqing received the letter and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is it important?" After a pause, he nodded his head in agreement, "Then let him in." Then he called Prince Lian to come forward and ask, "Fourth brother , do you know what's going on with Marquis Jia En?"
Prince Lian looked at Emperor Changqing expressionlessly, and said in a sad voice: "It's definitely not a good thing!"
These words are a kind of prophecy, learned from the lessons of blood and tears.
Emperor Changqing: "..." The fourth child must have suffered a lot.
While waiting for Jia Amnesty to enter the palace, Emperor Changqing and Prince Lian had a rare sympathy for each other, and it was still the kind of sympathy that both felt that the other was worse than themselves.As for the courtiers next to them, they made a calm look of watching their noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, and noses. She got the pigtail, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.
After another moment, Jia Amnesty was ushered into the court.
After a thud, Jia Amnesty knelt down on the hall in a prostration posture. His voice was so loud and his expression so tragic that people couldn't help but look sideways and feel even more uneasy.
"Your Majesty! My second brother has done such things as being inferior to pigs and dogs and endangering the imperial court. I am really embarrassed to be an official anymore. Your Majesty, just let me go back to my hometown to farm, anyway, I will have no face You. I have failed Your Majesty’s trust, and our whole family has failed you! You let me go back and educate my stupid brother first, and I will take the imperial examination again later and come to see you again. Your Majesty, please help me! !"
In the court hall, everyone including Prince Lian, who had already guessed a little beforehand, looked dumbfounded.
All I could hear was Jia Amnesty pleading guilty on his knees and crying loudly. What he said was an attitude of pleading guilty and admitting his mistakes, even so serious that he was about to be dismissed from office?So... what happened?
"Wait, what happened?" Emperor Changqing asked everyone's thoughts.
Jia She cried miserably and said: "It's my stupid brother's fault, he failed your trust! How could he do this? My father died early, and my mother is a housewife. Well, it’s just that I’m too petty, and I only care about petty profits all day long, disregarding my family and the world, so I raised my brother wrongly. He, he...actually embezzled and accepted bribes!!”
After being stunned, everyone present showed the look of "you are kidding me".
Emperor Changqing coughed lightly, as if thinking of something, he said: "Is it because I detained Duke Rong's second son together earlier? It was my negligence. I just wanted to teach him a lesson. I was busy at the moment, but unexpectedly Totally forgotten."
"No, no, Holy Majesty, you are not at fault, it is my stupid younger brother who is at fault! No, I am at fault too, my father died early..." Jia She said while recalling the old days when Jia Mu was in his mind. Those words that I often chanted, even the tone and expression, "My brother is young and ignorant, but my father died early, he died too early, too early, if he failed to teach my brother well, he let go The world is gone, leaving only us orphans and widows to depend on each other."
After thinking about it for a while, Jia She felt that the beginning of this question seemed a bit wrong, and hurriedly changed his words: "Anyway, it was my father who died early! He died young! Our whole family misses him very much! "
Hearing these words, Emperor Changqing couldn't help but his veins twitched.
It is true that Jia Daishan, Duke of Rongguo, died in vain, but if he died young, he did not see him. After all, when he passed away, among the two sons and four daughters he gave birth to, except Jia Min, who was the youngest, had never been married. Not only are they all married, but they have already had children.In fact, Jia Daishan passed away after the eldest son of the first house, brother Hu, died, and after the eldest daughter of the second house, sister Yuan, was born.
Therefore, what Jia She just said about orphans and widows being dependent on each other is pure nonsense! !
However, due to the fact that Rong Guogong Jia Daishan had passed away for many years, and he had indeed made great military exploits, Emperor Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and finally did not open his mouth to dislike Jia She.However, even with such a hesitation, Jia Amnesty said something even more astonishing.
"My father died early! My younger brother was born in the hands of a woman. Although he is very filial, he doesn't know right from wrong. He is stupid, clumsy and dull. He is a complete fool!" Jia She said With mixed regret on his face, "My father died early, and as the eldest brother, all of this is my fault. My lord, please dismiss my official immediately, and I will go back to the mansion to teach my stupid brother well, and I will not teach him well. Now, I will never enter an official career again!"
Emperor Changqing looked at Jia She deeply.
He was really moved by what Jia She said before.Compared with a group of courtiers with different thoughts below, Emperor Changqing thinks that he saw a pure minister, a loyal minister, a child who can be met but not sought after!
So, he refused.
"Enhou, you are fine. Jia Zheng's fault should not be borne by you."
It was originally!Although Rong Guogong Jia Daishan didn't live long, he didn't die young either.You know, when Jia Daishan passed away, Jia Zheng was not only married, but also had two children.As the so-called starting a family and starting a business, the definition of the latter is rather vague, but the former is obvious. Once married or even have children, this person is considered a real adult and should take full responsibility for all his words and deeds.
Don't say that Jia Zheng's charges are not serious, even if he killed himself today, Emperor Changqing didn't intend to put the blame on Jia She.
But Jia Amnesty was extremely dissatisfied. He had two purposes, one was to win Jia's government, and the other was to resign.
The two are actually not difficult, because there are such precedents in the past, but the father voluntarily resigned from office in exchange for his son's life in order to save his son who was caught in a pigtail.This kind of thing is actually done by people today in many cases. They just want to masturbate someone's official position, but they really can't find a proper reason. This makes people stare at their son and catch the wrongdoing. It's dark as hell.
Jia She felt that he could do the same, but he forgot that Emperor Changqing had no intention of doing this to him.
At that moment, Jia Amnesty was in despair.
Seeing this situation, Emperor Changqing said that it was Jia She who was worried about Jia Zheng. On the one hand, he was deeply sorry for their brotherhood, and on the other hand, he persuaded him very understandingly: "Don't worry, Jia Zheng's crime will not result in death."
This is true, it's just corruption, as long as you hand over all the proceeds to the treasury, and then put on a sincere attitude of admitting your mistakes, basically nothing will happen.Of course, losing an official position is inevitable, but very few people die because of this crime.
"My lord, I want to resign!" Jia She begged tearfully.
"Oh, Enhou, you are a good official and a good brother. I understand you."
To be honest, Jia Amnesty was a little confused.What did he do to make Emperor Changqing have such an illusion?good official?Good brother?That's all for the former. Although he has never done anything good since he became an official, he also hasn't done anything wicked. At most, he just made a fuss.But what the hell is the latter?If Jia Zheng knew about this, he might be able to spurt a mouthful of Ling Xiao's blood on the spot.
"Your Majesty, I..." Jia Amnesty continued, but was interrupted by Emperor Changqing: "Okay, I understand you, I have someone call Jia Zheng to go to the imperial study, how about letting you take a look first? "
Before Jia She could open his mouth again, Emperor Changqing ordered someone to announce his retreat, leaving Jia She kneeling on the spot in a daze, not recovering for a long time.
——He just wanted to resign as an official, why is it so difficult?
<<
Royal study.
Since Emperor Changqing had said that Jia Zheng would be brought here, he would definitely not break his promise.Fortunately, Jia Zheng didn't go to prison before, but was temporarily detained in an idle mansion. Apart from losing his freedom, he didn't suffer any damage.
Ahem, physical and mental exhaustion is not one of them.
When Jia She rushed to the imperial study in despair, Jia Zheng had already been brought here. What Jia She didn't know was that Prince Lian's younger brother, the Fourteenth Prince, was young and curious. A prince of similar age came to the royal study.Prince Lian, who got the news, rushed to stop it, but it also aroused the interest of other older princes.
So, after Jia Amnesty arrived at the imperial study and Jia Zheng understood what was going on, the princes also sneaked into the small hall outside the imperial study. Except for the dark-faced Prince Lian, the other princes, regardless of age, It's a look of excess curiosity.
But he heard Jia Zhenghu cry bitterly.
"Holy Lord Mingjian, it was His Royal Highness Lian Wang who emptied the family property of the minister's mansion. That's a total of 80 taels of silver! It's not 8 taels or 8000 taels, it's 80 taels! Your Majesty, the minister's mansion is too poor It's really poor. It doesn't matter if I'm hungry, but I can't just watch my old mother suffer from hunger, hunger and suffering. If it wasn't for this, why would I bother to transfer to the outside world? Could it be that I don’t know the benefits of Beijing officials? The Ministry of Industry is so comfortable, if it’s not for the livelihood of the family, why would I go all the way to Ruzhou to suffer the hardships and suffer the crimes?”
"Oh, so you are still innocent?" Emperor Changqing said with a cold face.
"This is for filial piety, this is for filial piety!" Jia Zheng was unwilling to admit that he was wrong, and only kept emphasizing filial piety, "My lord, if it weren't for the fact that the minister's family is too poor, why bother to do this?" Isn’t it good to be a good official? I can’t do anything about it! I have to be filial, I have to take care of my widowed mother!”
Needless to say, from this point of view, even if Jia Zheng made a mistake, the mistake was not that big. After all, this dynasty advocated filial piety, and even Emperor Changqing himself called himself a filial son.
But the problem is that Jia Zheng has the final say on this matter.Of course, the most important thing is that there is a shit stirrer named Jia She next to him.
"You are talking nonsense!!"
Jia She jumped up in front of Jia Zheng, pointed at his nose, and said angrily, "Master of heaven and earth, what's the use of you just focusing on filial piety? Filial piety is filial piety, but it's disloyal and unrighteous! Your Majesty is sorry. I'm sorry for the people, and you're sorry for our father who died early! You, you, you are nothing! What do you mean the mansion is out of money? Every meal in our house is eight meat dishes, and even the rough-in-law's meal is oily. Do you know why you can't get rid of the pot? Do you want me to send you back to someone who really can't get rid of the pot, so that you can experience it? "
"Brother, how could you..." Jia Zheng tried to explain hastily.
"Why can't I? It's really Zhumen's wine and meat stinks and the road is frozen to death. Why is our family poor? Tell me, where is it poor? Is it short of your food and drink, or your extra money? Last time Yue, the little brother in your room held the full moon wine, and he collected at least [-] to [-] yuan for the gift money alone! You actually said that our family is too poor to get rid of the pot?"
"No, what I mean is..." Seeing that Jia Amnesty went too far, Jia Zheng spoke again.
"Shut up! You are the youngest, stupidest and most useless official here, so there is no room for you to speak?" Jia Amnesty never relents when talking about Jia Zheng, especially now that there is no Jia Mu who faints from time to time Make trouble, don't hurry up and spray this idiot to death, "Okay, okay, even if our family really has no money, you won't ask your wife for a dowry? You won't ask your rich old Taishan for money? ? Won’t you sell your property to tide over the difficulties? If you don’t think about so many ways, your mind will be full of corruption and bribery. You, you, you...you are nothing at all!”
This time, before Jia Zheng found a chance to speak, Jia Amnesty knelt down in front of Emperor Changqing, crying with tears streaming down his face.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, let me resign. My younger brother is so stupid. As the eldest brother, I have an unshirkable responsibility. If it weren't for my father's early death, my mother is an ill-informed housewife." , it is not possible for my stupid brother to cause such a catastrophe. You must not believe that there is no money in the house. Don’t believe it. 80 taels, my family can afford it. It’s inevitable that you will be injured, but you will definitely not be at the end of your rope. Your Majesty, my family has money, so you must trust me!!”
Emperor Changqing stared straight ahead, and after a while he wiped his face with his hands and said, "I believe in you."
"Then, Your Majesty, you allowed me to resign?" Jia Amnesty looked at Emperor Changqing expectantly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, after resigning, I will teach my stupid brother well, and I will definitely not let my father die in shame! Alas, I blame my father for his early death, otherwise my stupid brother wouldn't have become like this. Father, why did you die so early!!"
"I won't let you resign, Marquis Jia En, you can give up." Emperor Changqing said expressionlessly, but said in his heart, wouldn't it be surprising if he dreamed of Duke Rong Jia Daishan tonight?After all, I have heard it so many times today...
"Why?" Jia She was shocked.
Jia Zheng on the side was even more shocked, but it was clear that the two had completely different priorities.Apart from other things, Jia Zheng hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself after he caught the opportunity: "Your Majesty, don't listen to my elder brother's nonsense, our family really has no money. The warehouses in the public house are all empty. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are ten rooms and nine empty spaces. And that..."
"Shut your mouth!!" Jia She turned around and yelled angrily, "If you dare to say that our family is poor, believe it or not, I will sell all the maids and women in your room, including your pretty aunts! Anyway! You are already so poor that you can’t get rid of the pot, what kind of aunt do you want to raise! Why don’t you just sell your little brother Tijiao, because our family is poor, and we definitely can’t afford a nanny. Since he was starved to death in the end, why not It’s better to sell it as soon as possible and get some money for vegetables!”
Jia Zheng was dumbfounded.
Seeing that Jia Zheng was suppressed, Jia She changed his expression in an instant, and said to Emperor Changqing miserable: "My lord, please let me resign."
"Your Majesty, our family is poor!" Even after being scolded many times by Jia She, Jia Zheng remained strong and said to Jia She, "If you really insist on selling the brothers and sisters in my house, I will agree with you." Yes! But our family is indeed very poor, you must have misremembered, all the money accumulated in our family for many years has been snatched away by His Royal Highness Lian Wang! His Royal Highness Lian Wang did not leave us anything, if not for my two During the years, I often ask people to bring money back to the mansion, I am afraid that when I return to Beijing, the old lady will be so thin that she is out of shape!"
