Chapter 539 The Book of the Household Department
Maybe it's just an idea on the whim of the Emperor. It is said that the older a person is, the more he sometimes looks like a child, and the emperor has a long life span of more than eighty, and it is normal to do something unexpected.
Anyway, the flies and grievances and disputes between these bigwigs have nothing to do with him for the time being, so he should just farm at home and nourish himself.
Anyway, the emperor said that let him study hard at home first, and it will be of great use in the future......
I just don't know how to use this big use, I don't think it will be smaller than the official who was rewarded before, right?
"That, does the lord know what His Majesty is going to do when he transfers his father-in-law into Beijing? In other words, what position is Your Majesty going to let your father-in-law and his old man take up? ”
Lin Ruhai is not in good health, although Jia Qing is also worried, but the holy order cannot be violated, so he can only try his best to plan in a good direction.
Jia Zheng's expression suddenly became a little complicated, or envious, and he said faintly: "Although I am not sure what Your Majesty wants, with Ruhai's position in Your Majesty's heart and his fame, I am afraid that it will ...... I heard that the current head of the household department is over seventy years old, and he is preparing to beg for the bones of His Majesty to return to his hometown, and His Majesty is afraid that he plans to let Ruhai serve in the household department. ”
It is rare that Jia Qing actually heard such accurate news from Jia Zheng's mouth. Come to think of it, with Jia Zheng's Fangzheng, they all know that Lin Ruhai's entry into Beijing is to replace the position of the heavenly official of the household department, so this matter must have spread in the government and the opposition.
This kind of rumor involving the position of the second rank is generally not groundless, but conveyed from top to bottom.
And that's a good thing indeed. At least, Jia Qing felt that he had one more tiger skin on his head.
However, perceiving the loss on Jia Zheng's face, Jia Qing felt that he still needed to comfort him.
"The father-in-law was able to be promoted to the ministry this time (although Lin Ruhai's original grade was the second grade, but there was no real position in the second grade, if he was appointed as the head of the household, it would definitely be regarded as a promotion.) It was indeed a happy event, and the old lady would be happy to know about it.
However, I think the old lady will be happy in the future will definitely come one after another, this time the lord was ordered to supervise the construction of the princess's mansion, involving 800,000 taels of silver, which is a rare big project for the imperial court, once the lord successfully completes the will, it is conceivable that promotion is inevitable. Coupled with the face of the big sister in the palace, it is very possible to release a provincial official, and when the time comes, I don't know how happy the old lady will become!
I'm thinking about how to appease the old lady and don't let her old man be happy! ”
Jia Zheng also spoke happily. Jia Qing's words he never thought about it, and he also knew that his promotion was inevitable, but when he thought about being able to jump from a middle and low-level Beijing official to a feudal official, for him, an old fritter who had worked for twenty or thirty years before moving a small nest, what an exciting and exciting thing!
"Qing'er Mohu said, before the holy will is issued, how can our courtiers peep into the artifact? Besides, even if there is a lady in the palace, it is impossible for His Majesty to let me serve as a governor and governor, not to mention being a feudal official, even if His Majesty promotes me to the positions of political envoy, admiral, and academic administration, I am also very frightened, and I dare not think about it anymore. ”
Jia Qing was amused. It can be seen that Jia Zheng has already turned this kind of mind in his heart, and the positions he ordered, needless to say, the governor and governor, even if it is the last three, it is also a real power official position in a province.
It can be seen that although Jia Zheng is indifferent to fame and fortune on the surface, in fact, he still expects himself to be able to rise to the top in his career.
Thinking about this, Jia Qing suddenly felt that Jia Zheng was a little cute.
He's an honest man.
"Master, don't be presumptuous, even if the master can't rise to that position at one time, but you are in your prime, as long as you do a good job for the emperor wholeheartedly, you will definitely be able to be in the forefront of the court in the future, even if you go upstairs and enter the cabinet."
With Jia Zheng just over fifty years old, among those second- and third-grade civil officials, he can indeed be regarded as a young batch.
It's just a pity that he's just a five-rank Beijing official now......
Jia Zheng's heart was surging at this time, and when he heard Jia Qing's words, his face turned red. Climb the stairs and enter the cabinet? He had such a luxury when he was young, but in the last decade or two, he had hardly thought of it.
However, now it seems that everything is really not completely impossible! If you take good care of yourself, you should be fine if you work hard for another ten or even twenty years, and when the time comes, maybe it will really be possible.
In Jia Zheng's heart, a huge ambition suddenly arose.
Jia Qing didn't know that his words of persuasion and encouragement had changed Jia Zheng's mentality, he suddenly remembered another thing, so he asked Jia Zheng: "Have you heard of Chen Shou?" ”
Jia Qing originally asked casually. He just felt that the old way was a little strange, and he still wanted to pry into the corner of Fang Shou's wall under such poor conditions, would he really have some ability?
Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng immediately asked, "What are you mentioning him for?" ”
Well, Jia Zheng actually knows. looked at Jia Zheng's eyes carefully, fortunately, it's not respectful, it's very plain, that's fine......
"It's nothing, just ask. Yesterday he came to visit me with a gentleman who was kind to me in the Guozi Prison and said that he wanted to accept me as a disciple, but I did not agree to him. ”
Jia Zheng nodded: "It's good that you didn't agree." That's a strange person, when he didn't enter the court, everyone said that he was a smart and changeable person, but unfortunately he didn't do the right thing, and studied some side door techniques all day long, I heard that he also set up a stall outside the Shuntian Academy, and met people...... What a waste of great talent.
Later, he participated in the imperial examination, although he only got a third-class Tongjinshi background, but that was also the dream of many scholars. It's a pity that he gave up on himself, and the officials were not good at it, so he went to the prince's mansion at that time and became a staff member......"
Jia Qing's smug expression paused, and he asked hesitantly: "Master is saying that when he was young, he didn't do his job all day long, and he even went to work as a fortune teller, and finally he was named on the gold list?" ”
Even if Jia Qing didn't know what happened back then, he could guess that the prince's mansion in Jia Zheng's mouth should be the Chitose Prince Yizhong, who was the most favored by the emperor back then.
Hearing Jia Qing mention this, Jia Zheng blushed a little. That's right, he said that people don't do the right thing, so he didn't get the title of the gold list in the end......
Fame is a hard standard for competition among literati!
Jia Qingduo would observe the words, and hurriedly said: "It's just a jinshi, it doesn't explain any problems, tell me again, after he entered the prince's mansion, did he do any big things?" ”
"Big deal?" Jia Zhengdao: "That's not true, but I heard that Prince Yizhong values him very much, and I don't know what the specific reason is." What's more, after the crown prince case happened that year, Your Majesty, Prince Jia at that time, had full authority to deal with the case, and he, as the main staff, was naturally arrested, but I heard that His Majesty did not punish him at that time, but wanted to recruit him into the palace, and later somehow let him go......"
When Jia Qing heard this, he almost knelt down. Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng, how marginalized are you, you only saw a little drizzle for such an important matter?
Anyway, you're the son of a powerful country!
Jia Qingqing saw it, and if he wanted to think about this matter clearly, it was best to wait for Lin Ruhai to enter the capital and then get an answer from him.
A person who is not doing his job properly can make Prince Yizhong and Prince Jia, who are on both sides of the battle for the throne, take a fancy to them at the same time, can there be no problem in this?
