Verse 47: The reward of hot hands

As the saying goes: only by listening to people's advice can you eat enough! Jiang Tian fully understood the meaning of this sentence, in short, don't look at you being labeled as an emperor, but if you want to be smoothly mixed in the court, it is also necessary to jump out from time to time to accuse the imperial power. To reflect in real life is to find a stain on yourself. The next thing is simple, the red mansion that was chartered can see the shadow of Liu Baokai and Jiang Tian's indulgence every day, and many people who come to the vicinity to look for flowers and ask willows only sigh at the watchtower, where the membership system is now implemented, and non-invited guests will not be accepted. In fact, Jiang Tian is just pretending, on the surface, he pointed out the rhythm during the day, taught Zhao Zhi to speak cross talk, and at night he waited for the pervert to come to drink with him, until he was drunk and unconscious. Why did he have to drink so much? In fact, it's not that I'm afraid that someone will repeat his old tricks and give him some material, anyway, the real drunkenness is alcoholism, and I don't have to worry about whether there will be a trap waiting for me when I sleep.

On this day, Jiang Tian did not dare to drink again, but prepared a new Confucian shirt sent by Wu Yuan early, dressed neatly and after stopping, he got on the carriage waiting at the door at about three o'clock in the morning, and came to wait outside the noon gate at four o'clock in the morning. Jiang Tian yawned and looked at these people he didn't know, and said in his heart that it was so difficult to be an official in the feudal dynasty, and if the emperor didn't sleep in the morning, you would have to accompany him. Obviously lack of sleep, but you still have to pay attention to your appearance and spirit, otherwise you will be seen by the Feng Magistrate, and you will not be included in a book.

Jiang Tian is in a large number of them, and these officials are not observing him, but the light is dim, and many people can't see this topic clearly, and if they can report here, even if they are just Beijing officials who stayed outside the door to make up the numbers when they were in the last dynasty, they must at least raise people's backgrounds, and most of the Jiuqing and cabinet scholars of the Six Ministries are gold-plated Jinshi of the Hanlin Academy, and his little talent is indeed a little not worth mentioning. However, today's emperor does not attach importance to the Bagu article, and many of the newly created departments are appointed to the earliest descendants of Conglong, many of whom have never participated in scientific examinations at all, and they can't get together with those traditional bureaucrats at all, that is, the highly respected Song Yingxing is inferior in terms of academic qualifications, so the identity of Xiucai is not so eye-catching.

"This is Jiang Gongzi, right?" An official wearing a red robe with a tiger embroidered on his chest walked over: "This official is Liang Fan, the right attendant of the military department." ”

Jiang Tian hurriedly saluted: "The student has seen the adult!" ”

"No courtesy, no courtesy." Liang Shilang happily gave a handful of help: "Speaking of which, this official was also your age when he put pen to paper, and you should walk around often in the future." ”

A third-grade waiter came to the unpopular Xiucai and said that he wanted to walk around, which was absolutely unimaginable in Qianming. But although there are not many words, but there is a lot of information, first of all, people pointed out that it was a prodigy who was put into writing from Rong back then, unless this is a prodigy under the examination education, otherwise it is just a show, and furthermore, from this passage, you can find that this is also one of the imperial party, and the former Ming officials in the court are different, which is considered a potential ally. A third-grade squire ran out to show goodwill on behalf of the imperial party, firstly, the old man Song should be more reserved at that level and would not appear too humble, and secondly, he was afraid of sending a five- or six-grade petty official to come out, so that Jiang Tian felt that the other party did not take himself seriously. So the location of the Sanpin squire is very suitable. But what surprised Jiang Tian was not these, it is said that although the Ministry of War is in charge of the country's military, it is equivalent to the Ministry of Defense in later generations, but the rules of the Ming Dynasty are to use civil and military affairs, and most of the officials of the Ministry of War are civilian officials, why is a squire wearing a military general's uniform? Could it be that this is also an innovation that has crossed through its predecessors?

Before Jiang Tian could say a polite word to him, the gate of the noon gate slowly opened with a dull friction sound, and the officials hurriedly stood in line according to their ranks, just waiting for the time to come. Jiang Tian also stood in the team, but he was the last one, and the petty officials of the seven or eight grades around him kept a little distance from him intentionally or unintentionally, and he looked so abrupt wearing a cyan Confucian shirt and a flat square scarf. However, this does not affect the solemnity of the hundred officials in the court, and Jiang Tian, who walked at the end, still had a leisurely view of the scenery along the way, and ushered in another gate after crossing the Jinshui River.

"This is Taihemen, right?" Jiang Tian muttered mentally, but when he walked in, the plaque on the door read: Fengtianmen! And there is no Manchu text next to it.

"I'm stupid!" Jiang Tian smirked at his thoughts of time and space confusion, at this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty failed to sit firmly, so the name of the place in Beijing naturally did not change, and it was very different from the name he was familiar with before.

The imperial historians who were standing outside the team to supervise the hundred officials looked at Jiang Tian walking over without being strict at all, blowing their beards angrily and glaring. But there is no way, he is not an official at all, so what's the use of you impeaching him?

As the team stood still, Jiang Tian glanced at the Fengtian Hall from a distance, this is the place where the court is up, but there are not so many officials there, so many minor officials who are not in the stream can only stand outside the hall to suffer, fortunately it is autumn at this time, although it is a little cold in the morning, it will not freeze people, otherwise these people standing outside will suffer. As for what was said and discussed in the hall, those guarding the door may still be able to hear a few words, and those in Jiang Tian's position will definitely not hear any voice, anyway, officials at this level are here to make up for people, and national affairs have nothing to do with them.

Today is different, a little chamberlain trotted all the way from the hall, ran directly to the back of the line, and looked at Jiang Tian and gasped a few times: "This ...... This is Jiang Tian Jiang Gongzi? ”

"Exactly down there."

"Your Majesty summons, please follow me!" Jiang Tian walked slowly towards the hall under the gaze of everyone, and the officials everywhere they passed did not have to pay attention to the salute with complicated eyes, if it was said that the light was dim at the noon gate, it was still a little unclear, and now the east has revealed the white of the fish's belly, as long as it is not old and dizzy, you can see that this person is not only young, but also has a faint smile on his face, and there is no panic at all when he meets the king for the first time. Of course, he was not honestly afraid, not only because he had already met the emperor secretly, but also because he regarded this transition more as a tourist experience, at least until now, he did not have much awe for the senior on the throne, at most he admired his ability to turn the tide.

When he came to His Majesty Dan, the chamberlain dodged and withdrew, and when he got here, he couldn't just look at it, Jiang Tian knelt on the ground according to the routine he had learned in advance, and he couldn't stand on the ground after kneeling three times and knocking nine times: "Student, Zhili Xiucai Jiang Tian, long live my emperor ......"

A majestic baritone voice came: "Hmm...... Flat! ”

"Thank you!" Jiang Tian hurriedly stood up, and said in his heart, Aren't you just better than my life, and you made me kowtow so much.

"Xiucai Jiang Tian, I heard that you helped the Academy of Sciences design a new type of telescope, but you have the idea here?"

This seems to be nonsense, the emperor summoned scientific researchers to ask this, but the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty knew that you said that he was his junior brother, and now when he asked this question, it was obvious that he was looking for a sufficient reason when he recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors.

Jiang Tian had already made a confession with him, so he said according to the arranged routine: "This is not the power of a student alone, it is the education of the teacher, and the kings of the Academy of Sciences work together to achieve a small success......

The key to this passage is that he confesses that a master who has no idea comes out, and his new knowledge is taught by this master in the air. Then the emperor can logically lead the topic to the master who does not have zài.

“…… In this way, in order to avoid the military disaster, he temporarily lived in your house, so he accepted you as a closed disciple! Alas...... I can't wipe out the enemy as soon as possible, I'm really ashamed of my teacher......"

This is also the routine that should be there, respecting the teacher is a moral norm in society, and you can't break this rule when you become the emperor, although the teacher in the story who has been overseas all the year round and returned to his hometown to retire in his later years first accepted Zhang Tao as an apprentice in Nanjing and taught Xiyi a new military thought. And because he avoided the disaster, he accepted Jiang Tian as a closed disciple, and taught Taixi's scientific development. At this point, this mysterious old man who is all-round in civil and military affairs can take a curtain call, and when a Tartar went to the countryside to rob, he cut down the old guy with a knife of fairy wind bones...... During that time, the lives of the Han people were like mustard, and no one would care about the death of an old man, and there was only one old mother in Jiang Tian's family at that time, and she also starved to death later, so there was really no proof of death.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, squeezing his eyes desperately, and he didn't know if there were any tears coming out, and then he sighed: "The sky has eyes, so that the teacher's skills have not been put into water, you will do your filial piety in front of the teacher for my brother." I, as a senior brother, can't be too kind. Since you have learned both Chinese and Western, you should do your best to be a man in the Academy of Sciences, and be crowned the prince and young protector! ”

The original staff wailang is from the fifth grade, and the current lang is the fifth grade, this threshold is the ceiling that many officials cannot break through in their lifetime, he Jiang Tian ran away from home once and had this adventure, it is estimated that many scholars can be angry directly. Besides, although the prince Shaobao is a false title, it is a real second product! If you talk about the grade alone, it is already on par with the six Shangshu. Now that the prince of the East Palace is young, maybe one day he will be able to become the young master of the prince.

Jiang Tian just wanted to thank him, but he heard the dragon chair ask again: "Do you have a mansion in Beijing?" ”

The officials thought to themselves, those seals just now are all due meaning, and it is not easy for you to be an official, at most it is to give a share. This is the real reward below, otherwise this senior brother will not be a loss.

Jiang Tian had no choice but to answer honestly: "Temporarily live in ...... In the east of the capital, Zhao's tea shop in the lamp grass alley. ”

Many people pouted disdainfully, you kid will live in Yihong Mansion every day tomorrow, and you will be a good person here.

"But the Zhao family who saved the life of the virtuous brother?"

"Exactly!"

"Hmm...... In this case, reward him with a hundred taels of silver and give a plaque of Tianyuan Tea Society! ”

A eunuch next to him hurriedly stepped forward: "The slave obeys the order!" ”

"Where is the Book of Rites?"

An official standing in the front row wearing a red official robe hurriedly flashed out: "The minister is here!" ”

"Hu Jingyi, do you see that there is still an ownerless mansion in the capital?"

At this time, the hearts of civil officials were raised to their throats, and generally speaking, the residences of high-ranking officials in the capital were concentrated in the west of the capital, in the area of Xiaoyongfang. However, the perennial war has made this official settlement extremely depressed. After the emperor ascended the throne, he rewarded a large number of vacant houses to officials in Beijing, so now it has returned to the former scene of Confucianism and Confucianism, and there is no white ding.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu hesitated for a moment: "Most of the exquisite courtyards in western Beijing have been rewarded to serving officials or military generals with high merits. Although there are still many ownerless empty houses in the east of the city, the houses are low and the courtyards are cramped, and they are not the places where the second-class adults should live......"

Speaking of which, there is no house! Many traditional civil officials are thumbs up in their hearts, and if you look at how people resist the decree, they can find a lot of reasons for them even if they don't want to give them.

The corners of the emperor's mouth curled slightly, and the officials who were familiar with him knew that this was not a sign, but the dragon chair was too far away, and few people could see it clearly: "Since there is no house in Jingxi, it doesn't hurt to live in Jingdong!" I remember that Dengcao Hutong seems to have the property of the Jiaofang Division, right? Didn't Linglong, who won the Oiran in Beijing a few days ago, live in Dengcao Hutong? ”

Hu Jingyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, looked stunned, generally speaking, the Ministry of Rites opened a brothel is not a professional match, but this is the reality of the dynasty, the Department of Rites belongs to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, so it has become a direct enterprise of the department, and it is also the main source of income for the department, otherwise what do you let the Ministry of Rites of Qingshui Yamen rely on to make some gray income? Usually the emperor doesn't ask about this matter, wouldn't it be a loss of honor to talk about the Qinglou Chu Pavilion in this court? Why didn't the emperor care, he asked directly.

"This ...... There is a red mansion in this place, and that Linglong is indeed a woman in the red mansion. ”

"In this case, your Ministry of Rites is not bad for this green building, so give the red mansion to Jiang Tian together!"

Jiang Tian looked up at the emperor with a long mouth, completely forgetting the proper etiquette, Hu Jingyi was in pain, leaning on the Red Mansion was a cornucopia of the Ministry of Rites, and he originally wanted to resist the return of the decree without being soft or hard, but the emperor directly robbed his own small treasury. If you have the heart to come back, as one of the six Shangshu, bargaining with the emperor for a brothel, wouldn't this be a laugh off the big teeth of the world? The officials who could hear this will also stared at the person concerned in shock, saying that the Zheng ministers of the Chinese Dynasty were not easy to be, not as easy to fool as the weak and deceitful kings of the former Ming Dynasty.

There are also smart people who can't help but think about the events of this period of time, first sent away the old bustard of Yihonglou, and then the fake prince instructed the Ministry of Rites to let Yihonglou temporarily close down, and today announced that the entire Qinglou was given to Jiang Tian, this qiē is too coincidental, right?
