The Marginal People of Jia's Family in the Red Chamber

Knowing what kind of person the emperor was, Jia Fu had a clear view of the future.The imperial power is so strange. The person sitting on the dragon chair is a fool. After years of being brainwashed by loyalty and patriotism, I am in awe of him; It is often seen when the ruler is strong and weak, and the power of the prime minister is greater than the power of the emperor. In the Ming Dynasty, the scholar-bureaucrats and the emperor ruled the world together. It can be seen that although the class is born, it is not constant.

Jia Fu originally thought that if the emperor was a Mingjun, he would naturally know how to sing the next play, but unfortunately...

As soon as the emperor left, Jia Daihua hurried into Jia Fu's bedroom: "Fu'er, what's the matter, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, father, don't worry, I didn't know His Majesty had such a temper before." Jia Fu looked at Jia Daihua, who was sweating all over, and changed the subject.

"Your Majesty is a benevolent person. He has saved the lives of several generals on the battlefield, but he is a little weak in writing. Alas, I didn't know about this before. When His Majesty was the crown prince, he didn't show it. , Our family is observing filial piety again, I was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War this time, and I only found out after I had a lot of contact with His Majesty."

"Well, father, let's talk about it after the people below deliver the news." Jia Fu first persuaded Jia Daihua to rest, and the emperor came back once, and the mental pressure was also great.

This chaotic day finally passed, and Jia Fu was so tired after acting all day, he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

In the next month, the emperor came several times with a ceremonial guard, and he performed the gesture of being a virtuous and virtuous corporal. Jia Fu also collected enough information. After the "consolation" emperor left, Jia Fu invited Jia Daihua , Jia Zhou's family, Jia He's family, Jia Jing, and Jia Yuan who had just given birth to confinement went to the dining room of Huafu Hall for dinner.

Ever since he knew that there were spies in the Ningguo mansion, he didn't know whether the extraction had been completed. Now that there was an important matter, Jia Fu didn't dare to discuss it in the study.Now on the pretext of celebrating Jia He's confinement and the meaning of a happy family reunion for a reunion dinner, the whole family is called together.

After drinking and eating, let the maid take away the leftovers, and the family drank tea in the dining room.The front door and windows of the dining room were opened, and outside the door were Jia Daihua and Jia Fu's confidantes.

"Mother, Lianniang, Jinger, and Yaner, the reunion today is not only to celebrate Lianniang Kangtai, but more importantly, it is related to the future actions of the Ningguo Mansion. This matter is complicated. First of all, it must be explained that, I don't intend to accept the title of the Ningguo Mansion and the head of the Jia family." Jia Fu first made an opening remark.

"What, brother, what's going on?" Jia Jing called out before Jia Fu could finish his sentence. If Jia Fu quit, he would be the one to bear the burden.

"Jing'er, there's no need to panic. Grandpa, father, and mother all know about this matter, and it was settled many years ago. Lianniang also knows that when they talked about their marriage, they have already made it clear with their father-in-law and mother-in-law." Jia Fu explained.

Jia Jing looked over in a panic, Jia Daihua and Jia Zhou nodded, Jia He also whispered: "Yes."

"At the beginning, when grandpa was still there, I had already expressed my intentions. It was one thing that my body could not support me to be an official in the court. It was another thing that Jing'er was outstanding. Jing'er, you moved in when you were seven years old. After entering Fuyun Academy, after entering school, he often went to banquets and made friends on behalf of Ningguo Mansion, and the outside world must have guessed it."

"I... I... I didn't think about it." Jia Jing was really panicked. In his life plan, he didn't inherit the title of patriarch, "Brother, father, I can't do it, brother should come, I……"

"This matter has been decided and cannot be changed." Jia Daihua directly interrupted Jia Jing's stuttering.

"But what about brother, brother can't be an official, and he doesn't have a title, no way!" Jia Jing said.

"If Jing'er feels sorry for me, give me the position of 'Elder'."

"Elder?"

"That's right, elders, similar to clan elders, or guest lords, they come from Jianghu sects. My body can't handle heavy affairs, but it's still possible to offer advice, check for omissions and make up for vacancies. What does Jing'er think?" Jia Fu persuaded .

"I don't know, I don't know what to do, but since my grandfather and father believe in me, and my brother also believes in me, I am willing to give it a try."

"Okay!" Jia Daihua clapped his palms.

"Second brother looks amazing." Jia Yan also echoed with a smile.

Jia Fu smiled and nodded, his younger brother should be so confident.

"Only by solving this premise can we say that the court can act. You also know that a few days ago, His Majesty often came to the mansion for this reason." Jia Fu showed his family the simple content about military affairs.

Those present here are all carefully cultivated by big families. Even Jia He, who has never been in contact with the government, and Jia Yuan, who is still young, read carefully. Such dense words, at least they don’t understand it.

"I won't say much about the seriousness of today's incident. If there is a slight mistake, the whole family will be executed and the family will be exiled. I want to remind my daughter-in-law that you have not been married for a long time and don't know the rules of the Jia family. Teach you, you can't talk about this matter, including your parents. Min'er, you too, you are young, and you are afraid that someone will try to trick you. Two brothers, do you know?"

"Yes!" The two people who were called quickly stood up respectfully and replied at the same time.

"Daughter-in-law is fortunate to participate in important events. It is the elders and uncle who trust me. How can I not know what is good or bad? My daughter-in-law must keep her mouth shut. Father-in-law, please don't worry." Jia He said solemnly.

"Yes, Daddy, don't worry, nothing bad will happen to Yan'er." Jia Xuan also assured again and again.

Jia Daihua emphasized the seriousness, and then transferred the home court to Jia Fu. Jia Fu went on to say: "Now the top is three points. The royalist party, the party of Zhao Guojiu, and the party who protect their lives wisely are also considered concentration camps. Look at those literati and clan clamoring for orthodoxy and righteousness. Under the sharp knife and sharp sword, most of them are soft-boned. The royalists are honest people who appreciate the kindness of Emperor Muxian and truly have integrity. Although they are few, they have great influence. Zhao Guo The Uncle Party is the most powerful, Uncle Zhao Guo is both civil and military, benevolent and kind, he followed the late emperor all the way to conquer the world, and there are countless people who admire and worship him. Now Your Majesty is not good at internal affairs, not good at court disputes, the situation is extremely critical."

"Brother, I haven't heard of it before." Jia Jing said puzzled.

"That's right, I haven't heard of it before. Your Majesty's enthronement is only getting closer. This year is the third year. If you don't change your father's way for three years, the one who is going up in the court is still the law of the former emperor. I should have thought of it a long time ago. The truly promising Mingjun How could the court be out of my control for three years. I was also puzzled by the deep affection between Uncle Zhao and His Majesty's nephew, and I didn't see clearly the general situation of the court."

"If our family is just ordinary nobles, it doesn't matter whether we protect the emperor or vote for Zhao. Uncle Zhao Guo will also force our team." Jia Fu rubbed his brows and said, "It's also my fault. I was too careless to recruit royal spies. I originally wanted to write these things down for my father's reference. Or Jing'er and Yan'er are the ranks of promotion. I don't inherit the title, but I have to leave something for my children and grandchildren, so that they don't lose sight of everyone, who knows..."

Jia Fu really didn't expect this to happen. If His Majesty is a wise king, he would naturally not have such shady means. Now, His Majesty, although not good at internal affairs, still has capable people around him, who can find the real writer from among them. After all, the emperor didn't do it for nothing.What Jia Fu thought at first was that the original body requires continuous blood, which is not just about giving birth to a child, it is also necessary to ensure that the child lives well, otherwise a serious illness or catastrophe can cut off his incense. I just want to give more protection to my children and grandchildren.He rejected the title and gold and silver boldly at the beginning, but he felt that these things could not be handed down for a long time, and what he gave could ensure that his descendants would not fall into the mud.

Jia Jing admired and loved his eldest brother the most, and hated his frowning the most. He quickly comforted him and said, "I'm so blamed on my elder brother. I've heard my father say that it's your majesty who can't do the right thing. How can my elder brother guard against these ghostly tricks?"

"You, you dare to say that His Majesty is engaged in conspiracy, and you are not allowed to say this."

"Originally." Jia Jing muttered.

"Brother, what should we do?" Jia Yan asked sharply, what's the use of talking about it now?

"Father." Jia Fu looked at Jia Daihua. Although he was always the one talking, Jia Daihua was the real master of the house.

"I have already discussed this matter with Fu'er. Uncle Zhao Guo is very powerful, but his reputation is not right. His Majesty still has high-level people around him, but His Majesty cannot be trusted. There is still an immature prince in the palace. Let us be courtiers." , the most important thing is to stand on righteousness." Jia Daihua said: "Of course, Uncle Zhao Guo is too powerful to fight recklessly, we have to find a way to avoid Uncle Zhao's attack."

"Listen to father." Jia Fu, Jia Jing, and Jia Yan said in unison.

Jia Zhou's and Jia He's didn't say much. The meaning of their participation is that Jia's family really regards them as a family, and the thinking of women in the back house can't keep up with men.

In October, His Majesty issued a decree: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's Decree: I only govern the world with literature, and fight against chaos with military force. Wenzai and officials are the pillars of the court and the country's dry city. They can be both civil and military, and they can contribute to serve you. It's a good thing to spoil his achievements and not to praise him. Jia Fu, the grandson of the Duke of Erning, burns his salary up to Dan, breaks through the books and masters the scriptures. Dedicated to opera, to study classics and history, to teach princes, Qinzai."

Jia Fu has grown from a commoner to a trustworthy minister of the emperor, which is not unsightly. Although Jia Fu is famous for his talent, everyone does not know his views on the important affairs of the court.The emperor's imperial decree has been issued, even Uncle Zhao Guo will not object publicly, at most he will find a few stumbling blocks in private, and it is a foregone conclusion for Jia Fu to confer a bachelor.

Originally, he didn't want to enter the court, but the situation forced him to take this path.For a position like a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, the most important thing is to "prepare for advice", that is, to wait for the emperor to ask for advice.Jia Fu has no other position, the emperor uses you, he is the favorite minister of the emperor, the emperor does not use you, he lives in the Hanlin Academy for the elderly, and also takes care of Jia Fu's weak body.

Jia Fu cheered up and walked into the court again.
