With the longevity of the country and the increase in population, although the capital has expanded the outer city and greatly increased the urban area, the inner city of the capital still follows the pattern of the former Ming Dynasty: the east is rich and the west is expensive. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The mansion of Mr. Longjiang, the famous imperial prince in Beijing, is in the Xicheng Mingyufang. At night, Ningfu is brightly lit.

In the side hall of the front hall, Mr. Longjiang and Zhao Junbo, the visiting county magistrate of Wanping County, chatted with wine. Two famous prostitutes and beauties summoned from the Workshop Division accompanied them on the left and right. Wine and food are placed on the table.

Drinking fine wine, Zhao Junbo was a little helpless, he actually wanted to talk to Mr. Longjiang secretly, but with a beautiful prostitute on his side, he couldn't say a lot of words.

Mr. Longjiang's real name is Ning Cheng, called Longjiang, about 40 years old this year, he is born in Sanding Jiahanlin, the son of Zaifu of the former dynasty, but now he has resigned for many years. He is a famous rich idler in the capital, famous for his calligraphy and painting.

Seeing that Zhao Xianling wanted to speak and stopped, Mr. Long Jiang smiled in his heart. How could he possibly meet with officials in private? This will be subject to the suspicion of today. If he wasn't afraid? In the early years, he would not have resigned from the promising post of Zhan Shifu Zuo Zhongyun.

Mr. Long Jiang smiled and pointed to the petite prostitute beside him and said, "Zhao Daling has heard two beautiful poems by Jia Ziyu that have been circulating in the capital recently. ”

Zhao Junbo twisted his beard and smiled, "I've heard of it." Titled: Gift to Xiaoxue Girl. Poetry cloud: Embracing the red clouds is helpless, I don't know that there are spring waves in the world. Where the heart washes the fragrance and leaves a shadow, the petite Xiaoice muscle jade shuttles. Could it be that this is Miss Xiaoxue. ”

Mr. Long Jiang laughed, "Another Qiulan girl didn't come tonight because of something. ”

The petite, bright, ice-skinned beauty sitting next to Mr. Longjiang got up and thanked: "The slave family doesn't dare to be praised by the Ming Mansion." As he spoke, he raised his glass to toast.

Zhao Junbo nodded, drank the wine, and said with emotion: "Mr. Longjiang, last year, I waited for the cultural meeting at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, and I never thought that the world would change this year. Of the three major academies, only Wendao Academy remains. Yang and He have different encounters. And Zhang Baixian was the governor of Shuntian.

Zhang Baixian's recent secondment of officials in Shuncheon and Yongping Prefecture has been boiling over. I also sent my staff and officials to Zunhua to stand by. Hey, looking at the methods of Lord Youxian, it seems that there is a national hand in his shogunate recently. ”

It is another name for the imperial history of the capital in the officialdom.

Wanping County was under the dual management of the Shuntian Prefecture and the Shuntian Governor's Yamen. Zhao County's order also followed the order, and selected his cronies and staff and 2 capable officials to go to Zunhua to serve and allocate money and grain for water conservancy: 2,000 taels and 500 stone of rice. He has a friendship with Governor Zhang Anbo for the Spring Festival, and he intends to use his strength to reach a higher level.

Mr. Long Jiang laughed, "So, Zhao Daling thinks that Jia Ziyu has the talent of a national player at the age of eleven?" ”

Zhao Junbo was a little puzzled.

Wearing a pink thin shirt, Xiaoxue's eyes were shining, remembering that in September, the young man she was lucky enough to meet was given a poem, so she became famous in the willow alleys of the capital.

Mr. Longjiang said: "I sent someone to Rongguo Mansion to invite Jia Ziyu to a banquet a few days ago, and I was told that others were in Zunhua. If there is no accident, the recent movement of the Shuntian Governor Yamen is related to him. Hey, Zhang Baixian wants to build water conservancy, with his help, I'm afraid he will get his wish. ”

Zhao Junbo's eyes flashed and he looked at Mr. Longjiang. He's here today to ask about it.

Three days ago, during the court meeting on November 9, the Zhan Shifu Zuo Yu De Qiu Xingde wrote a letter to impeach Sha Sheng of Beizhili Tixue and Zhang Anbo, the governor of Shuntian, for cheating in the examination for the recording of relics in Beizhili Township in the year of Renzi, and a total of 7 students of Wendao Academy passed the examination and asked the court to investigate thoroughly.

Mr. Long Jiang laughed a few times, raised his glass and said, "Zhao Daling hasn't answered my question yet?" And it doesn't hurt to drink this cup. ”

Zhao Junbo understood, he had the bottom in his heart, raised his glass and toasted to Mr. Longjiang, and praised with a smile: "Jia Ziyu's poetry is gifted by God, and his talent is excellent, and he is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people." In time, the future is limitless. ”

Of course, the praise that echoes it should be higher. But he did have a little shock in his heart. How could the turmoil of the Shuntian governors in October be related to Jia Huan. In this case, he has to let Master Luo invest a thing or two in this young prodigy!

…

On the morning of the 14th, Jia Zheng sat in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry. Li Ping, the ambassador of the weaving and dyeing institute of the Ministry of Textiles and Industry (Zhengjiupin), came to visit.

There is a charcoal pot burning in the public house, which is elegantly furnished and comfortable. The winter day is a little cold, but with the quietness and solemnity of the yamen.

Ambassador Li is in his thirties, with a slightly chubby face, he is from Guozijian, and he can be regarded as a scholar, he has no job, and he has the strength of Jia Zheng to make a career in the Ministry of Industry and recognize Jia Zheng as a teacher. After entering Jia Zheng's public house, after seeing the ceremony, he said with a smile: "Have you ever heard about the recent Shuntian Governor Yamen?" ”

This matter has been spread throughout the officialdom of the capital. After all, the movement is a bit big. The officialdom in it is very exciting!

Jia Zheng nodded slightly, "I've heard it." Zhang Boyu wanted to repair water conservancy during the winter slack season, and seconded officials to run errands. It's a bit too much. ”

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of water conservancy and other affairs throughout the country. Although he is not a court official of the Ministry of Industry, he has also read the plan reported by the Shuntian Governor Yamen.

Ambassador Li knew that his teacher's officialdom was not good, and he didn't understand the doorway inside, so he said with a smile: "Teacher, the key is that it is a big trouble, and the chief officials of the two governments have not objected to it, which is a big skill." I heard that Brother Huanshi is a disciple of Zhang Baixian, and he is in Zunhua at this time, and he is really resourceful and talented. ”

Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, didn't his concubine Jia Huan stay in Zunhua this month? Some time ago, I also brought back a letter. It's really the same as Li Ping said, this matter is likely to be the handiwork of that evil son. Otherwise, how could the timing be so coincidental?

Ambassador Li took two steps forward and suggested, "Brother Shi is so talented, why doesn't the teacher recruit him to his side to counsel the big business?" ”

Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher. According to Confucian etiquette, the father's rank is higher than that of the teacher. As long as his teacher is willing to write, Brother Jia Shi, the youngest man in the country, will inevitably come back to serve. With the officialdom wisdom shown by Brother Jia Shi in this matter, his teacher's official position can go up!

In recent years, he has become a little tired of doing this weaving and dyeing ambassador.

Jia Zheng was stunned again. Of course he could hear what he meant. He is passionate about his career. But in the position of the Ministry of Labor, he has not been promoted for many years. Li Ping meant to summon Jia Huan back to help him plan. But how did he, a protégé, know about his relationship with that son? After thinking for a while, he waved his hand, "I'll talk about this later." ”

Ambassador Li smiled and nodded, chatted for a while, and left.

Jia Zheng got up and paced, looked at a landscape painting hanging outside the public house, and was silent.

…

In the Yamen of Zunhua Shuntian Governor, the banquet at noon did not end until about two o'clock in the afternoon. Jia Huan, Pang Ze, and Zhang Chengjian followed the mountain chief Zhang Anbo into the study.

An old servant came in and lit two charcoal pots, made tea, and then left. The cold study slowly warmed up. Everyone sat down casually in the wooden chairs in the study.

Zhang Anbo handed a letter to Jia Huan, "Ziyu, take a look." ”

The small eyes on Zhang Chengjian's fat face narrowed, and he smiled helplessly. His father trusts Jia Huan more than him! But he must admit that this is the right thing to do.

Jia Huan didn't drink much wine at today's banquet, and the mountain chief helped him block a lot. To tell the truth, drinking alcohol does hurt when you are too young. Fortunately, he didn't get drunk much. picked up the letter, looked at it, and handed it to Zhang Chengjian.

After the letter was circulated in the hands of the three of them, the atmosphere in the study was slightly solemn. This is a handwritten letter from Academician He of the Military Aircraft Department to the chief of the mountain.

At the court meeting on 9 November, Qiu Xingde, the left edict of the Zhan Shifu, wrote a letter to impeach Shatixue and Zhang Anbo for colluding in the examination for recording the relics, and seven people, including Jia Huan, Gongsun Liang, Pang Ze, and Qiao Rusong, passed the examination. The imperial court was ready to summon Zhang Anbo back to Beijing to inquire about the matter.

Zhang Chengjian said dissatisfiedly: "It's too hateful! This is clearly to divert the attention of the imperial court. ”

Jia Huan was a little strange, "What do you say?" ”

Pang Ze explained: "The imperial court is thoroughly investigating the impeachment of Yu Shi Yu Wenrui for suppressing food prices by Li Daxue in Nan Shufang. It is estimated that he will win the Bachelor of Lee. I want to dismantle the South Study early this morning. The Donglin Party is shifting public opinion to the mountain chief and the great grandmaster, with sinister intentions. ”

Jia Huan let out an "oh" and lowered his head and groaned. He remembered that he went to visit Shati after the middle school. Shatixue inexplicably warned him not to meet Han Xiucai recently. Han Xiucai is now a cadre of the Donglin Party. It turned out to be because of this incident: the leader of the Donglin Party, Mr. Li Daxue, was going to be unlucky.

Pang Ze said to Zhang Anbo with some anxiety: "Mountain Chief, the Donglin Party must be prepared, you must be cautious, do you want to send Brother Shi and Ziyu back to the capital to dredge the joints first?" ”

Zhang Anbo chuckled lightly and said confidently: "Shiyuan, don't panic." Since it's an inquiry, wait for the official document to come. When the time comes, I will go back to Beijing to defend myself. Do not worry. ”

Zhang Chengjian persuaded: "Father should not be taken lightly. The son is willing to go to the capital for a walk. ”

Jia Huan didn't speak. Brother Zhang Shi is concerned about chaos. In these years, if you want to find the biggest big leg, it must be the emperor. In particular, there is a high probability that this emperor came to power through a palace coup. Such an emperor is estimated to be the best choice in terms of power and skill.

The emperor wants to rectify Li University, but he just plays with flowers, and he still can't run. The best choice for Scholar Lee right now is actually: beggar bones. It is to say goodbye to the old and return to the hometown. This is also a decent retirement. As for the impeachment of Yuwen Yushi, it is not a matter.

Zhang Anbo smiled freely, looked at Jia Huan, and knew that he understood.

His son is a middle-aged man, and it is not surprising that he has such an offer. Pang Ze's ability and talent are very good. But in the end, he is younger and lacks experience. A good idea cannot be called a talent, but a person who can still stand like a tree after being "attacked", that is the real talent. This is something that needs to be honed.

Zhang Anbo instructed: "Ziyu, you should hurry up and do the matter of building water conservancy." ”

Jia Huan nodded and agreed. (To be continued.) )
