At noon, Jia Huan invited Wei Hanlin to dinner at Yunbin Building on Qipan Street. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Qipan Street and Chongwen Gate, Dengshikou and other places, and called the downtown of the capital, the flow of people is dense. Here on Qipan Street, not far from the Yamen of the Six Ministries. It's hard to think about not being prosperous. The official economy has existed since ancient times.

There are thousands of shops here on Qipan Street. Flourishing anomalous. Yunbin Lou is the best restaurant on Qipan Street. is the so-called: the sheng song returns to the courtyard, and the lights go down the stairs.

Qian Huai booked a place in the attic on the west side early. Jia Huan and Wei Hanlin arrived one after another, and arrived at the room on the second floor of the attic under the leadership of the shopkeeper who attracted customers.

Wei Hanlin was still the same, he didn't speak very well, sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals, and said, "You still owe the Son of Heaven 500,000 taels of silver, right?" I heard that you are selling land, how can you be so extravagant and wasteful? ”

Jia Huan was speechless for a while, and said, "I still have the silver to invite Mr. Wei to a drink." "Jia Yu participated in the smuggling trade in Ping'an Prefecture, and the Son of Heaven fined 500,000 taels of silver, which was the silver that belonged to the Internal Affairs Office and the Son of Heaven. King Wu sent someone to inform him two days ago, and at the same time posted that he wanted to visit him in the palace and ask him to be the teacher of King Wu's son.

Is there a shortage of silver in Jiafu? Lack. The gap of 500,000 taels is indeed very large. Jia Huan's brain didn't enter the water, of course, he wouldn't owe the Son of Heaven money like the Zhen family. After the prince's rebellion ended, he sent people to Wujiazhuang to deal with the sale of land. At the same time, he sold Jia Yu's collection and furniture to raise money. In the capital, those who pay a little attention to the dynamics of Jiafu know that Jiafu is selling assets.

Therefore, don't look at Wei Hanlin's dislikes, in fact, he is still very concerned about Jia Huan. After all, he is the master of Jia Huan's examination. It's a teacher-student relationship.

After a while, the shopkeeper served the wine and food.

Wei Hanlin and Jia Huan ate a few glasses of wine, in the end, "people are in good spirits at happy events", opened the chatterbox, and admonished: "Ziyu, don't be happy too early." Hey, thirteen-year-old Zheng Liupin Hanlin waiter. Before the age of forty, you can become a Zaisuke. Do you think it's possible?

The reason why the Son of Heaven favored He Xintai's opinion this time was that the Son of Heaven was dissatisfied with Xie Fuqing. The Son of Heaven will definitely find an opportunity to press you. You'd better keep a low profile in recent years. Guilty of the taboo of the lord of men. This is not a good thing. ”

This is the second man who told him to walk on thin ice and be careful.

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Jia Huan's mouth, this can be regarded as a heart-to-heart, right? Listen to Jinyiwei, report you a "speculation", and you will shed your skin if you don't die. At the same time, I was a little surprised. Wei Hanlin's officialdom consciousness is higher than that of Grandmaster Fang.

Jia Huan got up and poured wine for Wei Hanlin and said, "Mr. Xie reminds." ”

In fact, he had a premonition for a long time. How could it be so smooth to get a positive six-grade Hanlin attendant?

Sect Master Fang told him to keep a low profile and fade out of the sight of others. Wei Hanlin went one step further and said that he should beware of the suppression of the Son of Heaven. In fact, Jia Huan's opinion in his heart is: The Son of Heaven is only afraid that he has already made a move. This is in line with the temperament of the Son of Yongzhi.

Therefore, Jia Huan is not a low-key or low-key issue at all now. He just needs to wait for the Yongzhi Emperor to "make a move" and wait for the result. It's really frustrating. Just like the treasures that burst out of the boss in the game, some attributes are against the sky, but there are always some flaws.

Of course, he is not in danger of his life, and most of them will send an errand to the Son of Yongzhi to waste his youth and time.

…

…

Coming out of Yunbin Building, Jia Huan returned to Jiafu and just returned to the backyard of Wangyueju. The mandarin duck has been waiting for a long time. Qingwen was chatting with the mandarin ducks. Mochizuki Ju was rebellious by the Marquis of Ruyang that day, and it looked a little dilapidated in winter.

The mandarin duck was dressed in a cyan cotton jacket, tied with a white crepe sweat scarf, and her figure was tall, and she looked more and more chested and thin. The twenty-year-old mandarin duck is already a pretty and bright girl. Seeing Jia Huan come in, she showed a cheerful smile from the bottom of her heart, got up with a smile, looked at Jia Huan with her eyes, and said, "Third master, the concubine sent Eunuch Chen to give you a congratulatory gift for your promotion." The old lady is waiting for you. ”

Jia Huan smiled and nodded, "Hmm." I'll change my clothes and go. Just had a drink outside. Sister Mandarin Duck waits. ”

Of course, he could feel the closeness of the mandarin duck. This is because of Jia Yu. Master Jia, now that he has been imprisoned, he wants to marry Jin Mandarin Duck, but it is a dream. Of course, it is a comfortable thing to get close to a beautiful girl.

The mandarin duck smiled and nodded.

Jia Huan took a hot bath, changed into civilian clothes, and went to Jia's mother's upper room on Jiafu West Road to see Jia's mother, and the ladies of the mansion were there. Including the newcomers Xue Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan, Li Wen, and Li Qi. Jia Huan received Jia Yuanchun's reward: a pound of West Lake Longjing in the Ming Dynasty, a set of authentic Ruyao teapots, a beautiful white mink fur cloak, a pair of novel styles and gold ingots.

For Concubine Yuan's enthusiastic reward, Jia Huan smiled bitterly in his heart. Approximately, Yongzhi Tianzi didn't tell Jia Yuanchun. Her brother's Hanlin attendant has no chance of being a part-time day lecturer or a scholar or being promoted.

After accompanying Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang and other relatives of Jia's mansion, Jia's mother smiled and said, "You go and laugh with Bao Yatou." We're not comfortable with you here. Jia Huan has always been not known for "mother-kindness and filial piety", and he will not accompany Jia's mother to laugh. When he came to Jia's mother, most of them were in trouble.

And Jia Huan's authority in Jiafu is growing. He doesn't laugh, Jia Mu and other relatives are difficult to ignore his existence. Therefore, Jia Mu smiled and said that she wanted Jia Huan to make a joke. It's not alienation. Jia Mu said the same thing to Jia Zheng.

Jia Huan smiled and nodded, and said goodbye to Jia's mother's upper room. On the road outside the courtyard, say goodbye to Baochai, Daiyu, Tanchun and others. He did not accompany the golden hairpins to sit in the Grand View Garden, but returned to the front yard of Jiafu.

After a short wait, King Wu arrived. The time was already scheduled in the post. Jiafu opened the middle door to greet him. Jia Huan was in the Rongxi Hall, entertaining King Wu who came to visit. Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were the two companions. Jia Lian is still dealing with Jia Yu's assets.

After a few words of tea and greetings, King Wu ordered everyone to withdraw and had a secret conversation with Jia Huan alone. King Wu is nearly forty years old, wearing an aqua-blue python robe, and his bearing is even more extraordinary. smiled gently, and said straight to the point: "Jia Tanhua, the Son of Heaven will relay it to me, and let you serve as the teacher of the little dog." This king is here to invite you today. ”

Jia Huan was slightly stunned. Immediately, when I came back to my senses, it turned out that the back hand of the Son of Yongzhi was here.

Previously, King Wu had made a special trip to invite him to be the teacher of Ning Cheng, the son of King Wu, and it was said that he was recommended by the Emperor of Yongzhi. He refused. Because, at that time, King Wu's position on the crown prince was unclear, and he didn't want to get involved.

In addition, there is no future for becoming a teacher of the prince's son. The most famous is Jia Yi, the prince of Liang Huai, who died early in the Han Dynasty. The Xuan Room sought to visit the ministers, and Jia Shengcai was even more incoherent. Pity the front seat in the middle of the night, and don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods.

Jia Huan also maliciously speculated at that time, and Emperor Yongzhi was afraid that he hoped that he would die young like Jia Yi.

Sure enough, it's still here! A very quiet position. You must know that the Hanlin attendant usually wants to be the prince, or the teacher of the Son of Heaven. He was arranged by the Son of Heaven to be the teacher of King Wu's son. It's malicious! Almost let his political future see no light.

Jia Huan's mood did not fluctuate much. When Emperor Yongzhi ordered him to explore flowers, he didn't want to pressure him and let him follow Sect Master Fang to repair the book. The result? Seven years of revision has become an excellent platform for him to be promoted.

The opportunity for promotion was not given by the emperor, but by himself. However, in the short term, I'm afraid that he, the Hanlin servant, will have no effect. From the hot, to the cold. If you don't make it, his road to the citron will come to an end.

Jia Huan sighed lightly and asked in an uncertain, unwilling tone, "Is this what the Holy One means?" "King Wu is the eyes of the Son of Yongzhi, and his performance at this time will definitely be fed back to the Son of Yongzhi. He can't show that he doesn't care. You have to behave to make the Son of Heaven "cool". Otherwise, the outcome is unknown.

King Wu nodded with a smile and said, "This king doesn't dare to be bold enough to fake the oracle." As he spoke, he smiled and said, "This king really wants to ask Mr. Jia to teach the dog." A special gift is provided, and Mr. Wangjia accepts it with a smile. Don't shirk. As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Jia Huan.

The thoughts of the Son of Heaven are one thing, and his thoughts are another.

Jia Huan took it and looked at it, slightly startled. It's a title deed. Corresponding is the residence of Ruyang Hou on Rongguofu North Street. Jia Huan looked at King Wu in surprise. King Wu smiled and nodded, giving Jia Huan a definite answer.

This contract was given to him by the Jin merchants "filial piety". The smuggling trade incident in Ping'an Prefecture occurred. Rongguo Mansion, Ping'an Prefecture Zhizhou, Jiedu Envoy Zhangshi, and the Zhu family, the four major imperial merchants in Beijing, were involved. The Jin merchants wanted to abandon the status of a treaty port in Ping'an Prefecture and leave only Zhangjiakou as a treaty port with the barbarians of the steppe (eat alone).

When this deed was received, he naturally recognized the ideas of the Jin merchants. However, he will not mention it to the Son of Heaven. The Jin merchants would arrange for officials to write to him, and if the Son of Heaven asked him, he would support the opinions of the Jin merchants. Now it is transferred to Jia Huan as a gift of apprenticeship.

It is said that the Marquis of Ruyang owed a large amount of silver to the Jin merchants. After the Marquis of Ruyang was killed, the title deed was returned to the Jin merchants. Although the Jin merchants did not waste much silver and strength, this does not mean that this mansion is not valuable.

On the contrary, the value of a mansion in the inner city, which covers an area of nearly one hundred and fifty acres (one and a half Rongguo mansions), is worth at least 20,000 taels according to the market price.

If you don't have an intuitive feeling, please refer to the value of super luxury villas in the inland section of Beijing's second ring road.

The title deed was a bonus. Mochizuki is dilapidated, has not been repaired, and the place is small, so it will not be able to live in the future. Jia Huanzheng has the idea of changing houses. King Wu's gift was delivered in a timely manner. After thinking about it, he said: "I have to deal with the affairs of the palace recently, and after the winter solstice, I will go to the palace to meet the prince and give a formal lecture, which will wait until after the next year." ”

King Wu nodded with a smile, got up and bowed to Jia Huan, and said, "So please ask Mr. Jia." "This is a way of respecting teachers.

Although he was "exiled" to King Wu's mansion by the Son of Heaven, Jia Huan rarely had a good impression of King Wu.

…

…

The news that Jia Huan and Jia Tanhua were the sons of King Wu spread all over the capital in a very short time. Those who were ready to contact Jiafu received "kindness" again. The prince's teacher, the political future is basically the same as the end of the matter. Jia Huan instantly changed from a rising star in the political arena to a cold stove.

On the night of November 19, somewhere in the alley of the Jiaofang Division, Prince Shun invited King Jin to the banquet, and during the banquet, he smiled and said: "Virtuous nephew, what about this?" ”

A few days ago, he was just slapped in the face by Jia Huan's promotion to Hanlin and smiled at King Jin. But today there was news that Jia Huan was the prince of King Wu, and he immediately asked King Jin to come out for dinner.

It is true that the Son of Heaven favors He Shuo. It is also true that the Son of Heaven wants to suppress Jia Huan.

King Jin shook his head with a smile, "Uncle Wang, will Jia Huan be the teacher of King Wu for the rest of his life?" King Wu is a popular man next to my father. Redder than you. You'd better improve your relationship with Jia Fu as soon as possible! ”

Prince Shun was stunned. The grievances between him and Jia Fu have been going on for a long time, so to improve them? Where does his face go? Now it's clear that Jia Huan has no future! He was very reluctant.

…

…

On the evening of November 24, Scholar He and Household Secretary Wei Hiroshi were discussing in the public house very late. It's not bad. In the evening, drink at the restaurant Yunbin Building on Qipan Street.

Wei Shangshu is very charming and has his style. He was regarded as a capable minister by the court. He had a very good impression of him.

In the private room on the east floor of the restaurant, several exquisite side dishes are displayed, and a pot of fine wine is displayed. It's quite relaxed and cozy.

He Shuo said: "Ziheng, the war in the Western Regions has been settled. The use of garrisoning the army is enshrined by various countries. The imperial court's expenditure in this area will be smaller. The Ministry of Household Affairs should organize manpower to reopen the Silk Road and increase tax sources for the country. ”

Wei Hong, who was fifty-nine years old at the time, was considered young among the high-ranking officials, sipped his wine and suggested: "He Xiang, now that the Silk Road is mostly by sea, I am afraid it will be difficult to restore the Han and Tang dynasties." The country's taxation can be considered, such as the Southern Song Dynasty, to increase commercial taxes. ”

He Shuo nodded and said, "This is the right reason." But the resistance will be great. However, trade in the Western Regions must also be stepped upon. No matter how little, it will also be beneficial to the country. "The commercial tax of the dynasty is as low as that of the Ming Dynasty. If taxes are to be raised, the interest groups behind them will not agree.

"Hmm." Wei Hong agreed first, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of resistance, I would like to recommend someone to He Xiang: Jia Ziyu." He will be able to solve this problem. In Jinling that day, I witnessed how he manipulated public opinion. The Manchu Dynasty officials combined, I'm afraid they are not his opponents. ”

This is Wei Hong's cleverness. He knew that He Shuo valued Jia Huan very much and focused on cultivation. Just flashed the Son of Heaven for a while. Otherwise, Jia Huan will definitely be transferred to the military aircraft department on duty to familiarize himself with the central affairs. Tijahuan quickly shortened the distance between him and Scholar Ho. At the same time, he and Lau are also good friends.

He Shuo smiled and nodded. Suddenly, he said: "Dapeng rises with the wind one day!" Does Ziheng think so? ”

Wei Hong stroked his palms and smiled, raised his glass and said, "This sentence should be a big deal." ”

He Shuo laughed when he heard this.

The poet immortal Li Taibai has a poem that says: Dapeng rises with the wind one day, and it sways up to 90,000 miles. If the wind stops, it can still be dusted but the water is clear. Heroic anomalous. As long as the roc rises, even if the wind stops, it can still stir up the water in the vicissitudes.

As long as Jia Huan is promoted to the sixth rank of the Hanlin attendant, he is a swaying Kunpeng. There is no pressure on it. Hanlin said that even if he could only teach the prince of Wu Wang, he was still Hanlin. This foundation is too solid and solid. The Son of Heaven can't hold it down. Wei Hong agrees with Scholar Ho's view.
