Chapter 263: The Position of the Concubine (II)
Liu Guoshan is in his early twenties, handsome and handsome, and when he saw this, he smiled and said: "Ziyu has something to do, I won't bother you, I'll come back another day to have a good drink with you." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
He was grateful to Jia Huan for getting him out of the prison of the Criminal Department. Therefore, words have the meaning of intimacy. As for what he thought before, wait for Jia Huan to be admitted to the show before befriending him, which is nonsense. Jia Huan is now a lifter, and he is a showman.
On the surface, the matter of saving him in the court was the proposal of Mr. Wangxi, the great master of the literary world: to give the young scholars a chance to make amends. Both he and Mr. Luo wrote confessions, so now they are out.
But he was born in Wendao Academy, and what knew the situation was that Jia Huan took a painting of Tang Bohu to ask Mr. Wangxi to speak.
Jia Huan smiled, "It's getting late, Brother Liu will stay here to rest." ”
Liu Guoshan said with a smile: "Still not." I'm going to go to the Gohokan. ”
Wufeng Pavilion is one of the few green buildings in the capital. Jia Huan laughed, sent Liu Guoshan out, and then turned to Rongxi Hall in the middle of Jia's mansion.
…
In the third chapter of the original book of the Red Mansion, when Lin Daiyu entered Jiafu, the book made a very detailed description of Rongxi Hall: after the south hall, the large courtyard in Yimen, with five large main rooms on it, and the side rooms on both sides, the deer top ear room drilled the mountain, extending in all directions, magnificent, and different from Jia's mother. Daiyu knew that this was a serious inner room, a big road, and went directly out of the gate.
Entering the hall, look up and see a red gold Kowloon green land plaque, the plaque is written with three big characters, is "Rongxi Hall", and there is a line of small characters at the end: "A certain year, month and day, the book is given to Rongguo Gong Jia Yuan", and there are "the treasure of ten thousand Chenhan".
When Jia Huan arrived at the Rongxi Hall next to the East Cross Courtyard with the little maid, Jia Yu's little maid Hong'er, Jia Zheng's little maid Li Shi'er, Jia Rong's little maid Shou'er, the extra housekeeper Shan Daliang, the second housekeeper Lin Zhixiao and others were already waiting outside.
"I've seen the third master!"
Jia Huan nodded and entered the hall. On the front is the big red sandalwood carving case, there is a three-foot high green bronze tripod, hanging to be leaked with the large painting of the ink dragon, on one side is the golden dragon, on the other side is the glass table. There are 16 nanmu chairs in the ground.
At the top sat Jia Yu and Jia Zheng, and at the bottom sat Jia Rong.
Jia Huan saluted, "I've seen my father!" I've seen my uncle. ”
Jia Yu and Jia Zheng both nodded. Jia Rong got up and said, "Uncle Huan is good!" Jia Zheng frowned slightly, but didn't say much. This is the status of Jia Huan in Jiafu today.
Jia Huan nodded lightly and landed on Jia Zheng's chair. In the empty Rongxi Hall, there were four people sitting. These are the four male hosts of Rong and Ning Erfu who are in charge outside. The candlelight is bright, dispelling the night.
This was the beginning of Jia Huan's first meeting in Jiafu. He has already ascended to the highest stage in Jiafu!
Jia Zhengdao: "Uncle sent someone to deliver the letter, and now there is chaos in the palace, and he wants us to open up the joints of the prime minister Dai Quan in the Daming Palace." ”
What do you do when you open up your joints? Everyone here knows it. Jia Yuanchun is a female historian in the palace.
Jia Yu is a first-class general, and he has an understanding of things in the palace, so he said slowly: "Second brother, the position of the concubine, there are too many people who fancy it. It's not easy for the eldest girl in our family to get the title of concubine. What did my uncle say? ”
Jia Zheng sighed and said, "At least one nobleman's position." No matter how low it is, you won't see the saint a few times a year. ”
Jia Rong drank tea. Although he is the patriarch, he is a small character. It's not good to speak on this occasion. The position of a noble person is the lowest bottom line. No matter how low it is, if you can't see the emperor, it won't help the family.
Jia Huan listened quietly.
In fact, Emperor Yongzhi's queen - the affairs in the palace are basically his final say. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager are all ornamental figures. The queen's throne is vacant. From Emperor Yongzhi's unhindered abolition of Concubine Zheng Guifei, we can know the emperor's control over the court.
Jia Yu and Jia Zheng discussed a few words. Jia Yu said: "Brother Rong, you still have a relationship with Dai Quan of Daming Palace, right?" ”
"There are contacts. Three festivals and two birthdays a year, I personally come to give gifts. Uh..., if you want to get through the joints, I want Uncle Huan to go with me. ”
Jia Zheng looked at Jia Huan. He trusts Jia Huan's ability very much. But I'm still worried that Jia Huan has messed up, "Are you sure?" ”
Jia Huan nodded, "No problem." I want to get 20,000 taels of silver out of the public office. "Gifts, negotiations, he has no problem, the key is money.
Jia Yu and Jia Zheng both nodded. Jiafu still has some family background.
…
On July 12, an autumn rain fell inadvertently. In the afternoon, Jia Rong took the little maid to Mochizuki Residence to find Jia Huan. The two went to the mansion of Dai Quan, the great eunuch located in the east of the inner city of the capital.
Although the Zhou Dynasty learned the lessons of the Ming Dynasty and did not allow eunuchs to interfere in court affairs, the status of eunuchs was very low. But because eunuchs often serve the emperor, empress, queen mother and others. They are also prominent, hot, and rich. This is somewhat similar to the position of the driver, nanny of the leader.
Because under the harem system of the dynasty, the eunuchs who were destined to be in high positions were not from the Ming Dynasty's ceremonial eunuchs, imperial horse eunuchs, dining rooms, etc. It is mainly from the chief eunuchs around the emperor and others, and the chief eunuchs in charge of various palaces.
Nowadays, the most famous eunuchs of the Yongzhi Dynasty are: Xu Yan, the chief eunuch and palace supervisor around the emperor, and there are four chief eunuchs and palace supervisors under him: Dai Quan, the chief eunuch of the Daming Palace, and Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the six palaces.
Great eunuchs like Dai Quan have a place to live outside the palace, and at the same time they can get married, and their stepsons inherit incense and ancestral halls.
Jia Huan listened to Jia Rong introduce the situation. All the way to Dai Quan's mansion in the east of the city. There were a lot of carriages gathered at the door. I heard the news that Dai Quan was going to leave the palace and return to my home today. Jia Rong sent someone forward to hand over the name post, and then led the concierge to a separate small hall to sit down.
After waiting for about two hours, when Jia Huan and Jia Rong's hungry stomachs were growling, they led a middle-aged servant to a Mingxuan to meet Dai Quan.
Mingxuan is brightly lit, the location is not large, and the layout is elegant and luxurious. Outside the Xuan, autumn rain drops. With a refreshing touch.
Dai Quan was an old eunuch of forty or fifty years old, with a white face and beard, wearing a dark blue robe, sitting on a collapsed chair. A little eunuch served beside him. He smiled and said, "Boy Rong, do you have anything to do with me?" If it weren't for Xiao Lizi's reminder, I would have almost missed it. ”
Jia Rong smiled and said: "It's nothing, because I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that the old prime minister returned home today, and I came to see the old prime minister." ”
Dai Quan laughed, his voice was a little sharp, "You kid is sloppy for our family!" This is..."
Jia Rong hurriedly said: "This is my third uncle Jia Huan." ”
Jia Huan bowed his hand, "Say hello to the old minister." ”
Dai Quan smiled and looked at Jia Huan, "Our family has heard of your name." The youngest person in the dynasty. There was a big case some time ago, and you reported your uncle's business. Hey, the reader is just so ungrateful! ”
Jia Rong was suddenly a little confused, what she meant was wrong. Only now did he remember that Uncle Huan was a scholar. And the eunuchs are more disgusted with readers.
Jia Huan was a little speechless in his heart. Did you offend this dead eunuch? When you come up, spray him first. Immediately, he said in a righteous voice: "National law and family affection, choose one of the two, I choose to uphold national law." Besides, when I reported my uncle's affairs, it was only a temporary reputation for him. ”
Jia Huan's meaning: His damage to Wang Ziteng is only temporary. Wang Ziteng can restore his reputation in other ways afterwards. The consequences aren't actually that serious, so why can't they be reported?
Dai Quan couldn't help but smile, he hadn't seen such an interesting teenager for a long time, put away the prejudice in his heart, and asked lightly: "What is the matter with you coming to see me today?" ”
Jia Huandao: "My eldest sister Jia Yuanchun is a female historian in the palace. At this very moment, I would like to ask the old minister to take care of it. ”
As he spoke, Jia Huan took out a 20,000 silver ticket from his sleeve, took a few steps forward, and presented it directly.
Dai Quan, as a master of receiving gifts, only glanced at the thick stack of silver tickets on the desk, and knew how much it was worth, and the smile on his face was even more serious, and he nodded slightly. The little plum on the side swallowed and put away the silver ticket.
Dai Quan picked up the teacup and took a sip. This is the meaning of serving tea to guests.
Jia Huan and Jia Rong retired with interest.
Leaving Dai's Mansion and sitting in the carriage, Jia Rong hadn't recovered at this time, and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Uncle Huan, that's it?" ”
Jia Huan smiled and said, "That's it." "Everything goes without saying. He said: This is an extraordinary time. Eunuch Dai knew what he meant.
Jia Rong was slightly stunned.
…
On July 14, Emperor Yongzhi came to Daming Palace.
Daming Palace is located in the western suburbs of the capital, outside the outer city. It is a royal garden that was built during the reign of the Emperor of the Kingdom. It covers an extensive area, about 5,000 acres, and the scenery is elegant and beautiful. The pavilions and pavilions complement each other with the lake and mountains.
In the middle of the Daming Palace is the Qinzheng Palace, surrounded by gardens. There are more than 150 gardens. The view is delightful. There are military aircraft departments and six duty rooms.
The emperor often came to the Daming Palace to rest and deal with political affairs. And the concubines and palace maids who accompanied the car, in the current situation, have become the top priority of all parties.
In the afternoon, Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the six palaces, sketched a list and sent him to follow the emperor to the Daming Palace. Jia Yuanchun, a female Shi from Fengzao Palace, is impressively listed. The joints on this side were opened by Wang Ziteng.
And Wu Guiren's father Wu Kangbo, Xiangyang Hou intended to push Concubine Zhuang, Qingguo Gong's favorite concubine, Ruyang Hou's relative Zhao Guiren, Yongchang Horse and others went through the path of Xu Da Guan recommended He Guiren. They all showed their magical powers, passed the level one by one, and followed Zhou Guifei, the concubine with the highest status in the current harem, to go to the Daming Palace together.
At night, Mr. Ning Ru of Longjiang begged to see the emperor and offered ice cream, which was named Bixue Cream.
Emperor Yongzhi summoned Ning Ru in the side hall. Xu Yan, Dai Quan and other eunuchs accompanied him. It was clearly a very casual private summons. (To be continued.) )
