Chapter 435 Iron Blood Emperor 31
Chapter 435 Iron Blood Emperor 31
The crown prince moved very quickly, drawing up a list of subjects for the East Palace in one night.
The crown prince handed over this memorial after the sage had finished discussing matters with the six ministers and nine ministers.
"Father, the sons and daughters respect the will of the father, and initially drafted the positions of the vassals required by the East Palace, and I ask the father to rule."
The structure of the officials in the East Palace basically copied the setting of the Zhan Shifu in the Tang Dynasty, left and right Shuzi Zhongyun, Sheren, etc., and the sage twisted the prince's book, and a rough count required more than a hundred people.Among them, it is only determined that Jia Hu is the son of the left concubine and the leader of the left guard.The rest are vacancies.
The sage circulated the prince's booklet to the cabinet ministers.
"The prince is already engaged. After watching the government, he will be a subject to assist the prince in learning how to deal with political affairs. Please see if the prince's East Palace ministers are properly set up? If there are vacancies, you need to recommend talents. It is necessary to recommend internally and not avoid it. Do not avoid enmity by exercising relatives and foreigners. The most important thing is to assist the prince in handling the government."
After reading the crown prince's memorial, the cabinet ministers felt toothache.The setting of the subordinates of the East Palace is a small imperial court.In other words, according to the requirements of this book, the subordinates of the Eastern Palace were perfected, and the imperial court was equal to having two sets of teams to deal with the affairs of the court.These veteran ministers in their 60s and [-]s who have held important powers in various ministries are reminded every day that the newcomers who will replace them are ready.
Hao Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials is close to the year of his official career. As the chief assistant, he has to speak out.
"Saint, the East Palace has added so many people, which completely overlap with the court officials, and the salary expenditure will increase a lot."
These people have a lot of income from the imperial court, but their expenses are even greater, and the household department's spending is also counted as spending.
"Hao Shangshu," Zhang Zan is now the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He read the crown prince's papers, and thought about the matter of the censor's questioning of Jia Hu a few days ago, and said: "It is the right thing for the prince to set up the Zhan Shifu and learn how to handle the government affairs. No matter how nervous the household department is, it cannot be deducted from the necessary expenses of the crown prince. This is a major event related to the future of the big scene."
Well, Zhang Zan, a person who only recognizes the rules and regulations of the law, has spoken. If he doesn't want to make fun of himself, no one wants to argue with him.
Seeing no objection, Zhang Zan continued, "Sage, even if the crown prince sets up Zhan's mansion, if the left and right bastards want to assist the crown prince, they must come to observe the cabinet's agenda and learn from the routine of the cabinet."
Well, everyone knows that Zhang Zan is making a move for these days, the censor questioned Jia Hu to attend the cabinet discussions, and pretend that no one else knows that Jia Hu made your nephew and son-in-law? !
As soon as the prince saw the matter, someone immediately helped him, and he quickly made a bow to the cabinet ministers, "Please recommend capable officials and talents from all ministers."
Is the prince's gift so pleasant?Everyone immediately stood up to avoid the immediate salute.
The Hubu Shangshu said: "Sage, Zhang Shangshu's proposal is very good. I will wait for you to hear about this incident today, think about it carefully for two days, and then recommend a talent that can be made and whether it is feasible for the prince?"
The sage nodded, and the paper to question Jia Hu was sent to the cabinet for approval.
Zhang Zan called Jia Hu to Zhang's mansion, asked the whole story, told Jia Hu the result of the matter, and then scolded him in a deep voice.
"Hu'er, I reminded you not to go to Wenyuan Pavilion to listen again. You make mistakes again and again. You must never play around with the prince again in the future."
Jia Hu hurriedly saluted the uncle and father-in-law, "Uncle, Hu'er knows that she is wrong, but Hu'er can't say no to the prince."
Jia Hu understands that he should not go to Wenyuan Pavilion to attend political affairs, but what is even more difficult for him is that if he rejects the prince with court laws and rules, then as a companion, he will gradually get farther and farther away from the prince, and finally Ten years of effort may well have been wasted.
Zhang Zan wanted to teach his nephew a few words to behave in accordance with the rules and etiquette, but when he reached the point of his mouth, he slumped back.Jia Hu took the path of accompanying the close ministers—then the trustworthy ministers—and finally the important ministers. It may be said that he had to use the method of the courtiers in many cases.
"Ah," Zhang Zan sighed, if Jia Hu followed the prince's way, then the prince would have something wrong with it, and his nephew would not get it; if Jia Hu persuaded the prince...
Ugh!
Considering that his niece is still the crown princess, Zhang Zan can no longer blame Jia Hu, so he has to give Jia Hu some advice.
"Hu'er, in the future, you have to be careful about what you do. If you can't do something, you might as well remind the prince that the censor will impeach him. Seeing that the prince especially cherishes face, the impeachment of the censor may stop him."
"Yes. Thank you uncle for teaching."
"After the East Palace deploys subordinates, I will ask the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Yushitai to take a closer look. This will also prevent the crown prince from being misled by the subordinates."
Jia Hu hurriedly thanked Zhang Zan repeatedly, "Uncle Lao is taking care of you."
"Go ahead, your aunt is going to make you an autumn shirt, hurry over and measure it."
Jia Hu's face turned red immediately, and after bowing nervously to Zhang Zan, she hurried to the inner courtyard.
The cousin will not be married in a few months, so it is better to say that the cousin needs to make new clothes for herself instead of saying that the aunt needs to tailor autumn shirts.Jia Hu hurriedly walked into the inner courtyard like a drunken person.
He met Zhang Zan's eldest son Zhang Zhao who was waiting for him head-on.Zhang Zhao watched Jia Hu grow up. In terms of talent, appearance, family affairs, etc., Jia Hu is a first-class figure in the capital.The younger sister married her aunt to be her daughter-in-law, and she will not be wronged in the future.For this marriage, Zhang Zhao and the rest of the Zhang family are happy to see it come true.
The cousins exchanged a few pleasantries and went to the inner courtyard together.
"Cousin, I heard that Yushi Zhezi questioned you?"
Zhang Zhao is now working as an editor in the Imperial Academy, and almost all the courtiers know about Jia Hu being questioned by the censor.The Rongguo Mansion followed the old Rongguo Gong to become an official, and now it has no real power, only a false name, and it is not known who ordered those censors.
"Yes. I heard that the sage said that he would assign Zhan Shifu to the prince. The left and right sons of Zhan Shifu and others should go to the cabinet to listen in, so that they can assist the prince in handling political affairs in the future."
The crown prince's status is stable, and his cousin's family has always had a close relationship with the imperial family.Zhang Zhao patted Jia Hu on the shoulder and said, "Be careful, don't be impeached by the censor. It's not good to give the courtiers the impression that they are spoiling the prince."
"Yes. Thank you cousin for reminding me."
Jia Hu lingered in Zhang's mansion until it was almost curfew, and then reluctantly went back to Rongguo mansion.
In the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Daishan entered the Rongqing Hall aggressively and furiously, and drove all the people who served Shi Shi to stand in the yard.He flicked the ledger in his hand towards Shi Shi, and shouted in a deep voice: "Shi Shi, have you been a housekeeper like this for 40 years?"
"Master, what did I do wrong?"
Looking at her husband who looked like an angry King Kong, Jia's mother flinched and asked timidly.
"Look through the ledger yourself."
Jia Daishan was furious, why is this all?I left the inner house to Shi Shi to take care of, and there are only two sons born in the family, and they are all born by Shi Shi.He was puzzled by Shi's purpose.
Mother Jia picked up the ledger that had been thrown on the coffee table in front of her. After reading a few pages, her face began to turn red.
"Shi Shi, tell me, why are you doing this? Ah?" Jia Daishan stared at the old wife, not missing the slightest change in her expression.
Jia Mu avoided her husband's gaze and muttered for a while without saying a word.
Jia Daishan waited for a long time, but before Shi Shi could explain, his anger went straight to the top beam gate.
"Shi Shi, do you remember what the 'seven outs' are?"
Mother Jia turned pale with shock, "My lord, I have served uncles and uncles of my ancestors for three generations, you can't give up my concubine."
Jia Daishan slapped the coffee table with a palm, "Okay, okay, okay! I can't divorce you. You stole the property of Rongguo Mansion, and your historian is not afraid of losing face. I will send you the list of these lost items and the fakes that were replaced. Go to Shuntian Mansion. Please send people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to Rongguo Mansion to investigate the thieves and find the stolen goods."
Mother Jia turned pale, stood up unsteadily, and pleaded, "Master, Master."
"Say, why did you do this? Both She'er and Zheng'er were born to you, and you took things away from the warehouse, for whom?"
Mother Jia bit her lip for a moment, then Fang slowly said, "My lord, I am a concubine for the sake of politics."
After uttering this sentence, Mother Jia felt her whole body lighten up, and she could naturally continue to speak the following words.
"Xie'er got all the private houses of the old Duke's wife. Zheng'er is the second son and has no title succession. After a hundred years from us, he will only get [-] to [-]% of the family property. I can't take those things with me. It's just that the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and that Zheng'er's life will be too poor in the future, and he will learn from her mother-in-law in the future, and give all these private houses to Zheng'er."
"Shi Shi, you are so shameless! My mother's private house is her old man's dowry, and the dowry business adds value. Did you move the big treasury of the Duke's mansion into her private treasury? You are ashamed to say that the palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are all Meat, you gouged out She'er's flesh to make up for Zheng'er. Have you ever thought about whether She'er will be hurt? Zheng'er has no title succession. You forgot that She'er was born and died. He can be a marquis for his meritorious deeds in the north? Don't let Zheng'er Pull it out and use it as an excuse for you to be a thief."
"Master, believe it or not, this concubine is always telling the truth."
Jia Mu's clenched hands and slightly trembling voice showed her panic and fear, not as fearless as she said.
There was a loud commotion in the yard, which died down after a while.
Jia Daishan took out a stack of papers from his sleeve pocket, waved them in front of Shi's eyes, his voice was as cold as poisonous, wrapped in strong resentment.
"Am I short of your food or your clothes? Or did I underpay you for your inner house? And these," Jia Daishan slapped Shi on the face, knocked her down, and threw the pile of IOUs to the ground. Shi's face.
"Please take a good look at these loan sharks. You are also a lady of the Hou family. How dare you release loan sharks? Are you trying to kill everyone in the Rongguo family? Is Yinger's position as the crown princess abolished?"
"Master," Mother Jia covered half of her numb face, pale with shock.How did you tell your husband about this?
"This concubine is not doing it alone, many people in Beijing are like this. Nan'an Wang Taifei is also like this!"
"Is the law of the imperial court still in your eyes? Nan'an Wang Taifei also did it, and the national law will not punish you? Do you know what the consequences will be if you are stabbed by the censor to the court? Huh?"
Jia Daishan grabbed his wife's skirt and lifted him up from the ground, and the two looked at each other.Shi Shi looked at her husband's bloodshot eyes, fierce eyes like a devil out of a cage, and couldn't help avoiding them.
"Say, talk! Rongguo Mansion has enmity with you? Is there hatred? I, Jia Daishan, was born and died, and earned you the first respect in the capital. She'er has been fighting abroad for more than ten years. Ying'er, who was carefully taught by the Zhang family, was The royal family chose her as the crown princess. That is the highest appreciation and recognition for the Rongguo Mansion. The future saints will have the blood of the Rongguo Mansion and your historian. Why are you? "
Jia Daishan shook Shi Shi, lowered his voice and roared in Shi Shi's ear, which made Shi's ear buzzing.She opened her mouth, unable to utter a word.
When Jia Daishan saw that Shi Shi did not speak, he became more and more angry. He looked at his wife who was clutching in his hand, whose hairpin and temples were messed up, and let go of his hand, throwing Shi Shi to the ground.
He strode out of Rongqing hall.
