Thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, three days, the Lantern Festival in Beijing. On the night of the Lantern Festival, several main roads in Beijing, the downtown area, are full of lights, colorful lights such as buildings, layer upon layer, competing for beauty. On Ningrong Street outside Jiafu, children are running and laughing in the streets and alleys. The theater in Jiafu is the most lively.

In Jia's Mansion and Daguan Garden, Jia Huan has always disliked face-saving projects, and maids everywhere spontaneously buy lanterns, hang them, and enjoy the lanterns. Baoyu's Yihong Courtyard is in the limelight.

Exploring spring, welcoming spring, and cherishing spring are also very lively. Daiyu has the most abundant financial resources, and since she fell ill a few years ago, she has not been in good condition in the year. Xiangyun returned to Shifu, and Xing Xiuyan, Li Wen, and Li Qi were already married.

Baochai was busy with chores. Baoqin is going to marry Baoyu this year, and she is also busy making wedding dresses. The Peach Blossom Society and these societies are all delayed. Even the "Peach Blossom Fan", which was written by Daiyu and worked together by all the golden hairpins, stopped.

…

…

The Lantern Festival, the fly in the ointment, is that the son of Yongzhi is on the city tower, with the queen, concubines, and hundreds of officials after enjoying the lanterns for a while, he returns to the palace to rest. Subsequently, on the 19th and 23rd, the Son of Heaven still did not show up.

This caused some slight ripples among the courtiers. There is a book in the imperial history asking how the dragon body of the Son of Heaven is: Please make it clear to Your Majesty at home and abroad to calm people's hearts. The recital was left unpublished.

On the twenty-sixth day, hundreds of officials in Beijing were in the Imperial Palace as usual, and the university scholar Huamo was in charge of the class and visited the throne. Complete the rituals of the Tsunaji. Later, the officials withdrew from the Imperial Palace.

On the square outside the Imperial Palace, in early spring, the cold wind is biting. The hundred officials were divided into different directions and went out of the palace separately. Those who went east were all the bigwigs of the Military Aircraft Department, as well as the Zhongshu Sheren who was appointed by the Hanlin Officer.

The scholars of Hanlin Zhongshu replaced the functions of the original military aircraft department Zhang Jing. Acting as a secretary to the scholars. In the military aircraft department, there are also small officials, calligraphers, also known as Chinese scholars. The difference is still huge.

Those who went straight out of the noon gate to the south were all the bigwigs of the Yamen such as the Six Ministries. The sixth part is just outside the Great Zhou Gate. To the west, out of the Xihua Gate are the officials of the three law divisions: the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple. The yamen of the three law divisions is in Xicheng.

Mandarin Hall scholar Hua Mo was 60 years old at the time and had gray hair. At his age, for a university scholar, he is in the prime of life. He is of medium stature, dressed in a scarlet robe, and is very dignified. He was followed by several officials. He was in the square, waited for a while, and waited until Ji Xingsheng, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, came over.

Hua Mo smiled slightly, made a gesture, invited Ji Xingsheng to move forward together, and said, "Zichu, have you read all the reports in Pravda?" Jia Ziyu is not making a lot of trouble! You and Lin Ruhai are friends, what do you think? ”

The regular dynasty ended, but at six or seven o'clock in the morning. The light is bright. Hua Mo was in the cold wind, his eyes were slightly squinted, and his eyes were a little cold.

Since the end of November last year, when the news of Jia Huan's request for the marriage of the Son of Heaven came out, seven or eight newspapers in Beijing, led by the Great Sunday Daily, have vigorously reported and criticized it. And after a whole Spring Festival of brewing, Pravda revealed the whole story of Lin Ruhaituo's lonely gift to Jia Huan. There is also a source of silver for the construction of provincial villas in Jiafu.

This kind of report was only known to the old people in Yangzhou back then. Moreover, it is also necessary to have a certain understanding of the situation in Jia Province.

You know, Pravda is the official newspaper, marketing the world, and its influence is terrifying. Put such a report..., for Jia Huan, the malice is slow. It can be called yes, ill-intentioned!

Ji Xingsheng smiled and said, "Hua Xiang." There are many rumors that are not true. Jia Huan and his cousin are in love. This thing is sighing and regretful! Recently, new words are being sung everywhere in Beijing, but Hua Xiang hasn't heard of it? Knowing what is going on, tears are in the crosshairs. The sound of broken intestines recalls his life. Alas..."

looked at Hua Mo with a smile again, and said, "How can Hua Xiang care about such a trivial matter?" I've heard that there seem to be signs of rebellion on the canal, which is worrying! ”

Ji Xingsheng said this to Hua Mo.

You must know that the matter of Jia Huan and Daiyu, in the capital, is at most a celebrity lace, and it is a strange thing! And the princes of the temple should be concerned about the national economy and people's livelihood. You are a dignified ruler and only care about this kind of thing?

Recruiting Cao Gong is Huamo's political achievement project. As a result, he was put in power in the Military Aircraft Division. If something goes wrong, it will affect its political prestige.

The smile on Hua Mo's face faded a little, nodded, and said with a smile: "It seems that Zichu still understands the inside story!" After speaking, he took the officials around him and went east to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Ji Xingsheng looked at Hua Mo's back, and continued to walk south with a calm face, leaving the noon gate. In my heart, I am quite disdainful of Huamo!

It is reported that when Li Kangshi, the secretary of Dali Temple, was in Yangzhou when he was in Yongzhi, he was a branch patrol. This person is Hua Mo's protégé. And Zhou Shenxing, the acting editor-in-chief of Pravda, is branded with distinct traces of the Chu Wang Party.

What kind of calculation Hua Mo made, of course he knew it clearly: it was nothing more than preparing to rectify Jia Huan and win the favor of the Son of Heaven.

However, instead of focusing on how to govern the country, he thinks about how to please the Son of Heaven, what has become of this? Occupy the pit and don't.

Hua Mo was in power for a year and did nothing. The situation in the country is deteriorating day by day. All day long, I just think about the safety of everywhere, deceive the subordinates, and the fans are peaceful. Then, it's about money. What you do is despicable!

The brief conversation between Hua Mo and Ji Shilang spread throughout the capital later.

Ji Shilang said a "regretful" word, saying that in the hearts of many literati, it is a very poignant love story! If you want Lu Fangweng and his cousin to be like ...., then you can...! In front of it, there is a "crested hairpin-red crisp hand", and the national dynasty has "Huanxi Sha-residual snow condensation cold painting screen".

Ji Shilang's statement made the public opinion that lashed out at Jia Huan blow like a spring breeze that is slowly recovering!

….

….

At the end of the first month, the business in the teaching department gradually became popular. The night is like ink, staining the sky. In the alley of the company, the sound of silk and bamboo is bursting, and the beautiful laughter is like a wave.

In a beautiful embroidery building somewhere in the alley, Yuan Hao, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, invited Hu Xuan and Hanlin, who were also directors of the Imperial History and Rites Department of the Red People's Party, to review Li Si.

Hu Xuan was forty-seven years old at the time, a native of Zhejiang, and a second-class jinshi of Bingchenke. He is in charge of the Ministry of Rites. At his age, he is even older than Yuan Hao.

Hanlin reviewed Li Si at the age of thirty-nine, and the term of office of Hanlin Shuji was three years. Those who remain will be awarded the official Hanlin review, from the seven grades.

Several of them have a common characteristic, after entering the official career, they are not very satisfactory. Not everyone is like Jia Huan, a young man. There are many people who are only admitted to the Jinshi at the age of thirty or forty. Therefore, the enterprising spirit of fame is very strong.

Therefore, he deliberately figured out the holy will and greeted the Son of Heaven in the court. The Son of Heaven always relied on it and rewarded him a lot. It was jokingly called the "Red People's Party".

The famous prostitute Cheng Qi'er dressed up with flowers, took the maid, and added wine to the three of them. She is in her twenties, and she has passed the best age for a popular sister. Generally around the age of twenty-two, even if you are entering the end of your career.

Yuan Shaoqing has been infatuated with Cheng Qier for many years. It is well known in Beijing. However, for some reason, he did not redeem him and marry him back home.

Yuan Hao patted Cheng Qi'er's upturned buttocks under the group of fans, and said, "Qi'er, you go to the back first and wait for a while." I'll talk to Bingyong and Zishi about things. ”

"Why did Lord Yuan punish the slave family? With so much force? The slave family will pour three cups of Lord Yuan in a while. Cheng Qi'er was coquettish, and then smiled and took the maids out of the main hall of the embroidery building.

Hu Xuan and Li Si turned a blind eye to this.

Yuan Hao took a sip of wine with a wine glass, and said, "Yesterday, the Chang Dynasty ended, and the words of Hua Xiang and Ji Shilang, I think you should have heard of it." ”

Hu Xuan said: "Lord Yuan, this matter, just forget it?" Hua Xiang this..., anticlimactic! "Huamo, if it is classified, it is also the Red People's Party. Yuan Hao and others were also part of the Chinese system.

"Not bad." Yuan Hao nodded, smiled again, and said, "Hey, Ji Xingsheng's weight in the court is very heavy. He and Lin Ruhai are friends again. His attitude, in public opinion, is very convincing.

However, Hua Xiang gave him a public top, and he must have some thoughts in his heart. We didn't hit this jujube, so there was no loss. Hey, don't worry, that talent in Jingyuan is more anxious than us. ”

This matter was originally handled by Han Jin, the staff of the King of Chu!

Zhou Shenxing, the editor-in-chief of Pravda, secretly reported to Huaxiang, and then published an article in Pravda. However, as soon as Ji Xingsheng's attitude came out, the recent public opinion in Beijing and central China has obviously changed. It's no wonder that Han Xiucai is not in a hurry!
