Chapter 521: The East Window Incident Occurred, and Jia Mansion Was Involved.
The spread of rumors about Jia Yu, a first-class general of Rongguo Mansion, collaborating with the enemy, did not break out overnight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info but went through a period of gestation. It was only in the past few days when the Son of Heaven was about to leave Beijing that he reached the flashpoint of public opinion.
Many people know the reason. The "political enemies" of the king's rule took action. You must know that he is Concubine Yuan's maternal uncle.
The dynasty was a society that valued blood and clan.
The streets and alleys to the south of the Rongguo Mansion are where the servants of the Ningrong Mansion live. The two prefectures are a century-old family, with a growing population, and houses in the streets and alleys are scattered.
In late autumn, the morning sun is bright, and the dead grass in the corner of the roadside is covered with hoarfrost. Leng Zixing, who opened a pawnshop in the west of Chongwenmen Street, walked into the house of his father-in-law Zhou Rui with a few boxes of pastries and fruits.
"Yo, the virtuous son-in-law is here." Zhou Rui was sweeping the floor in the yard with a big bamboo broom. His face was weathered, and it didn't look like life was going well.
Zhou Rui threw away the broom, beckoned Leng Zixing to eat tea in the living room, and spread out the pastries and preserved fruits brought by Leng Zixing, and the two sat opposite each other at the table of the Eight Immortals. Zhou Rui asked strangely, "Why did the virtuous son-in-law come here today?" ”
Zhou Rui was designed by Jia Huan in the eighth year of Yongzhi, deprived of his position as a steward, and rushed to work outside Jia's mansion. At the same time, Jia Yu, the eldest lord who was also Jia Huan's "ally" at that time, extorted Zhou Rui with 6,000 taels of silver. This hollowed out his family. If it weren't for his son-in-law Leng Zixing's help, his house would have been broken.
Leng Zixing was almost forty years old, dressed as an outsider, and said with a smile: "Can't you come to see Old Taishan if you're fine?" ”
This kind of nonsense! Zhou Rui responded with a smile. Waiting for Leng Zixing's next step.
At the beginning of this year, Jia Huan took power, Jiafu was reformed, and he was laid off by Jiafu. Idle at home. Not long ago, the two sons were kicked out by the second grandmother Lian in the Rong Mansion because they didn't care about their work. The family pointed to his wife as an errand boy in Jiafu to eat. The days are tight.
What can this son-in-law of his hand do for him? I just want to know some news from the top. What is the momentum of Jiafu now? A first-class family in Beijing. Zhou Rui's family is Mrs. Wang's companion room. The information is relatively well-informed.
Leng Zixing and Zhou Rui talked for a while, and then explained the meaning: "Old Taishan, now the capital Zhongyin is a little nervous, what's going on?" ”
Leng Zixing is in the pawnshop business. Pawnshops have a financial function, similar to the small banks that issue small loans today. Some time ago, the prince asked Jin Shang to borrow 1 million taels of silver to present to the Son of Heaven. The Son of Yongzhi immediately accepted and rewarded the silver to the meritorious soldiers.
The remaining silver was also purchased for a batch of royal use. Didn't Emperor Yongzhi newly seal Yang Guifei? and give and give.
Recently, the Son of Heaven wants to open a Mulan Shooting Garden, which is sponsored by Jin merchants. The ticket number of Jinshang is the model of a junior bank. The outflow of millions of taels of silver made their money in the capital area slightly tight, and their credit contracted. A small bank like Leng Zixing immediately felt it.
However, Leng Zixing is not a person in officialdom, and the news is vague and even conflicting. So come to Zhou Rui to inquire.
Zhou Rui told the news he knew, and it was only a general outline. The two chatted for a few words. The topic naturally turned to the recent Jia Yu incident
When he mentioned Jia Yu, Zhou Rui sneered, of course, he hated Jia Huan even more in his heart, and said, "How is it fake?" Second Master Lian has been going to Ping'an Prefecture every year over the years. What is not involved in the smuggling trade? Hey, this Jia Mansion, I don't think it will be long before it will be over. ”
Leng Zixing smiled, he knew the resentment in his father-in-law's heart, and said, "How come? The concubine is still in the palace. The political father has given the Fujian school politics of the four products to today. Officers are promoted to two levels. It can be seen that the concubine is being favored. ”
Zhou Rui laughed and said, "What do you know? The imperial court set up nine sides, and there were more than 100,000 troops to defend the Tartars. Smuggling iron tools to the grassland, such a big crime, how can you endure it today? If you want me to see it, it must be a house raid and a killing. Hehe. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Rui was extremely happy in his heart. If Jiafu is raided, he will not be implicated. It's just a change of master's house and continue to be a slave. As soon as he thought that little bastard was going to be locked in a prison car, he was extremely excited!
Leng Zixing groaned for a while. The imperial court clearly stipulated that iron tools were forbidden to flow into the grassland. Not to mention, if the Son of Heaven is thundered and angry, Jiafu may really be copied.
It's just that the two mansions of Ning and Rong, the century-old princely family, fell like this? It feels like the world is really impermanent!
…
…
On September 27, the imperial historian heard the wind and wrote a letter to impeach the first-class general Jia for collaborating with the enemy. The leader is Zhao Junbo, a popular imperial historian who shrank in the previous official purge turmoil.
He was once regarded as a weather vane in imperial history. There are often various groups and factions that hand him materials and ask him to speak out and promote the situation and political struggle. Zhao Junbo writes a book to impeach the powerful, and every impeachment must be successful. The fame is great. But this is only his way of being an official.
When Scholar He led the elites in the civil official group to the Yongzhi Emperor, Zhao Yushi chose Mingzhe to protect himself.
At this time, because he did not have the backbone of the Taoist official at the critical time, Zhao Dayushi, who was scolded by Shilin and fell in prestige, shot again and pointed directly at his relative Jia Yu.
In the afternoon of the same day, fifty or sixty imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate heard about the incident. Impeachment of Jia Amnesty. set off a great wave of public opinion.
In the procedures of the imperial court, the princes of the temple had to "know" about it.
In the Military Aircraft Department, when stacks of memorals with the words "Impeachment of Jia Yu" were placed in front of the four scholars, the reactions of the four scholars Xie, He, Liu, and Han were different. This matter, what the hell is going on, the four Zaisuke here, everyone has it in their hearts.
Who is Jia Yu? Who knows! What is a relative? The drunkard doesn't mean to drink! In the nine provinces of the system, the military machine Zhangjing, the Qincha Qing Jing Ying, the Twelve Guards, the palace guard Division of the prince Teng!
Scholar He looked at Xie Xuan and said everything. Xie Yushi made a move, right? After all, they all knew Prince Xie Xuanbao's position. Changing the court in officialdom is a big taboo. Wang Ziteng didn't listen to the "greeting", how could Xie Fuqing not move? It's huge!
However, it is impossible for him to go against his own principles to take care of this matter because he values Jia Huan more. These lawless nobles, in disregard of the law of the country, dared to smuggle iron weapons to the Tartars. In the end, it wasn't the people of the Great Zhou who were killed by the iron weapon?
The bastard is the worst, and his crime deserves to be punished!
…
…
In the afternoon, there was a lot of discussion in the Hanlin Academy. Many people's eyes on Jia Huan have changed. For example, Zhou Shenxing. Don't say that Jia Yu is just his uncle, but what is popular these years is Zhulian. The Son of Heaven was already unhappy with Jia Huan, and maybe he would take advantage of the situation to dismiss Jia Huan's official.
Jia Huan had just received a notice from his friend Zhu Hongfei in the same year, returned to the review hall, and called Grandmaster Fang, who was repairing in the Hanlin Academy.
In the public room full of various books, Fang Wang, dressed in a green robe, asked, "Ziyu, what's going on?" Aren't you in charge of your house? "He went to Rongguo Mansion to attend Jia Huan's wedding and knew what was going on. Isn't it normal for a Hanlin to dominate the affairs of a government?
Jia Huan smiled bitterly, "Mr. Fang, I have already reminded my uncle to stop participating in border trade. At that time, my father was still in Kyochu. My uncle didn't listen, he promised in person, and he did the same behind his back. I asked my grandmother to restrain me. It didn't work either. What can I do? ”
Sect Master Fang went to taunt his nemesis Fu Bolong two days ago, and he was in a good mood, but at this time, the most proud disciple actually encountered this kind of "disaster", which made him frown. In fact, anyone with a little bit of officialdom common sense can see who the target of the person behind the trouble is. Jia Huan was affected by the fish pond. This can be seen as the political opponents of the royal system preventing him from becoming a scholar.
If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world. If you can't restrain your own relatives, what can you talk about governing the world? How to convince the public?
However, for Jiafu, the evidence and facts are conclusive, do you want the court not to punish them? The imperial court explicitly forbade the flow of iron tools into the grasslands.
Fang Wang thought for a moment and reminded: "Kiss and hide, you can't go too far with the self-defense of the court." For the rest, you should know what to do in your heart. ”
Jia Huan's complaining tone, Fang Wang could still hear it. But when Jia Huan defended himself, he pardoned his uncle Jia and couldn't use too much language. A person who kills his relatives in righteousness will not be recognized by mainstream public opinion. I can only pinch my nose and admit it.
Next, Jia Fu can only play the hole card, the concubine card. Then, look at the mind of the Son of Heaven!
Jia Huan bowed and saluted, "Students can save it." "I said goodbye and went back to the review hall and wrote a self-defense chapter. Of course, he has to plead.
…
…
In the governor's mansion of the five armies, Wang Ziteng was in his public house, looking through the materials, arraigning prisoners, and questioning generals and colonels at all levels in the Beijing camp. Very busy. Suddenly, the entourage came in and whispered a few words in Wang Ziteng's ear.
Wang Ziteng's face changed slightly. Instructed his subordinates to slow down the next questioning, and a person paced back and forth in the public room with his hands behind his back.
On the eve of the concerto, he had a special talk with Jia Huan. Jia Huan told him: I will dissuade my uncle from selling iron weapons. And, inform the concubine at the right time, and explain one or two in front of the Son of Heaven. So, please rest assured. The Jia family will not affect his uncle's promotion.
What now?
Wang Ziteng sneered. It seems that his genius nephew can't restrain his uncle!
From Wang Ziteng's point of view, he didn't see much resistance as this. What kind of public opinion, opinion, these are useless. It's true that Jia Fu is his relative, but he can't control his brother-in-law's brother, right?
Is there such a truth in the world? If Jia Yu was his brother-in-law, he could still attack him like this. Is Jia Amnesty?
This matter, most fundamentally, will still damage the status of his political ally Concubine Yuan in the palace. Jia pardoned the crime, which affected the Son of Heaven's senses of the concubine.
In fact, when Jia Huan promised him, how could he believe it? I knew that this would be the case. However, at the expense of the interests of Jiafu and the status of his niece, in exchange for his own interests, how could this deal not be done?
It is impossible for him to have any scruples because of the threat of the Marquis of Ruyang. Jia Huan was young and took the initiative to pack the ticket in front of him, which is not to blame him.
The sneer on Wang Ziteng's face slowly turned into an unfathomable smile. He is the biggest winner in this turmoil!
…
…
The power of the prince has long been lost, and there is no possibility of turning the tables. Therefore, even if Jiafu is caught in the turmoil, it is better to see Wang Ziteng's jokes than to see Jiafu's jokes in the capital.
Jia Huan went to the General Administration Department to vote for self-defense and plea, left early, and returned to Jiafu in a carriage in the sunset.
Yu Shi impeached Jia Yu in groups, such a big move, Jia Huan sent someone back to inform him early. When Jia Huan returned to the mansion, Jia's mansion was already in chaos.
Jia Yu has no hope in Jia's mansion, and no one sympathizes with him for the incident in the east window, but they are all afraid of being connected!
Jia Huan just got out of the carriage in the front yard of Mochizuki Residence, and was waiting for the little maid here to come and invite, "The old lady asks the third master to come back and go over immediately." ”
Jia Huan said calmly: "I'll go over immediately." Turned around, went back to the room, took off his official uniform, changed into a Confucian shirt, and took his eldest maid Qingwen and Ruyi to Jia's mother on Jiafu West Road. Take your stride.
