Chapter 408: A Tricky Errand
After all, the Wang family and other families have always been involved.
Of course, if it is only related to the family, it will not be like this. After all, the interaction between families is normal, and they are colleagues and in-laws, so they are nothing.
It's just that Jia Lian has sent a housekeeper to negotiate with other princes in private since the last time the prince came home, so he knows that there may be many unknown things behind this goods.
As a courtier, this kind of vacillating attitude is the most hated by the emperor.
Not to mention that the emperor had always regarded Wang Ziteng as a confidant.
Therefore, Wang Ziteng's attitude is even more disgusted by the emperor.
Another after the death of the emperor, with the current status of the prince and his conduct.
Their own sons themselves knew how tempting this position was for them, and the emperor knew it.
If the emperor dies, the royal family with military power can't withstand the temptation, and finally presses the treasure on other princes, then the emperor will really die.
So just in case, adhering to the principle of not being afraid of 10,000, just in case, before dying, the old emperor seemed to want to put an end to all accidents and strangle all dangers in the cradle.
And obviously, Wang Ziteng, who has military power, is unruly and impure, and bears the brunt.
Thinking about it this way, Jia Lian looked at the direction of the palace.
Although everything just now was just a guess in Fu Zhi's heart, the more he thought about it, Jia Lian felt that the possibility was really high.
Again, even if Jia Lian's own IQ is not up to standard, these speculations have been studied by experts in later generations for hundreds of years.
So......
Jia Lian's brows furrowed.
Could it be that those in the mouths of Jia Yuanchun and Dai Quan are also because of his Jia family's high achievements? ?
The corners of his mouth pulled slightly, and Jia Lian couldn't help but roll his eyes.
To be reasonable, if this is the case, then he is really wronged to open the door for his mother, and he is wronged to get home.
I think that he didn't even hang the salt drying method in the salt field in his name at the beginning, although he has done a health bureau business in the past six months, and has made the streets and alleys of Kyoto neat and tidy, and he will have cement on his hands in the future.
But this can't be said to be a high achievement, right??
Yes?
If he had to buckle this hat to the Jia family's head, Jia Lian thought about it and felt that the most likely thing was that the problem might still lie with the Wang family.
Wang Ziteng's death, caused in Kyoto, can be said to be an uproar,
The nine provinces are all inspected, compared with the book of the Ministry of War, whether it is a position or a position, the high is not a star and a half.
Moreover, now Ping'an Zhou is not very peaceful, and foreign enemies in the border areas are eyeing each other, so naturally, almost everyone's eyes are on the foreign enemies in the border passes.
Of course, among them, Jia Lian was an accident.
Therefore, from the death of Wang Ziteng, Jia Lian smelled an unusual sense of crisis.
Previously, Jia Lian originally thought about whether to use public opinion to put a little pressure on the emperor, so that he would not have to dismount the Raja family in the future.
But now Wang Ziteng's death has dispelled this idea for Jia Lian.
In Jia Lian's opinion, the old emperor suddenly harbored malice towards the Jia family this time, and the problem should be in the Wang family.
The Wang family's crimes, Jia Lian felt that the high merit should be secondary, and the most important thing was the nature of the grass on the wall.
And if Jia Lian released the newspaper to create public opinion at this time, Jia Lian was worried that it would backfire.
So the original plan to reopen the newspaper was put on hold, Jia Lian handled government affairs with trepidation on the surface, and inwardly instructed Xing'er and others to inquire about as much news as possible and pay attention to every move around them.
Especially the villain who restricts Ning Rong's second mansion, he must be cautious in his words and deeds.
Moreover, among them, Jia Lian is particularly concerned about Jia Yu, and he told him that Jia Yu must not leave anyone, if he wants to go out, where he went, and what he did, he must come back to tell him.
Jia Lian is not afraid of anything else, his memory is still fresh, Jia Lian remembers that in the Red Mansion in the later generations, the culprit of the raid of the Jia family started from Jia Yu.
In order to ruin the fan pendant, in the end, from this beginning, Wang Xifeng was involved in putting Yinzi money, Jia Lian remarrying Second Sister You, and the Jia family taking over the lawsuit.
Now although the money on the Ning Guofu side is not how rich and expensive, at least compared with the previous Ning Rong Second Mansion, now Wang Xifeng has disdainful of using the way to put the money in the seal.
In terms of the lawsuit, unless Wang Xifeng handed a note to Wang Ziteng, Jia Yu didn't like him, Jia Cong was only a mere five-grade acquaintance before, and he didn't have that ability.
Jia Lian himself had beaten Wang Xifeng hard before, and she was not allowed to act recklessly.
Therefore, Jia Lian is not worried about this.
And Second Sister You, thinking of Second Sister You, Jia Lian suddenly felt a little stunned.
Now Liu Xianglian has married Third Sister You as his wife, Second Sister You has been engaged to the Zhang family, over the years, it stands to reason that Second Sister You is not too old, and the Zhang family should have started talking about marriage.
But no matter what, at least Jia Lian has nothing to do with this Second Sister You at the moment, first of all, there is nothing to say about taking a wife, let alone holding a happy event during the national funeral.
With a sigh of relief in his heart, Jia Lian felt less apprehensive.
So at the moment, as long as he prevents Jia Yu from producing any moths, and then waits for the emperor to die and the new emperor ascends the throne, this matter should be able to turn the page.
Therefore, Jia Yu is there, Jia Lian tirelessly asks for peace in the morning and evening every day, big truths and small things, Jia Lian doesn't care whether Jia Yu is annoying or not, and the old mother is the same advice.
Above the court, led by the Zhen family and the Jia family, the household department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already drawn up the amount of arrears from each family, and the old emperor has acted vigorously this time, and all families have received warnings.
"At the beginning of the founding of the country, your ancestors followed Emperor Taizu to conquer this great Xuanjiang Mountain, and I am grateful in my heart, but this is not the reason why you have become the moth of the country!"
Lang Sheng spoke, and above the main hall, the emperor was very dissatisfied with the accounts reported by the household department now.
The emperor did not know about this verse before, so he did not pay attention to it.
It wasn't until this time that his life was short, thinking about clearing the road as clean as possible for his son, that he realized that the reason why his treasury had become unable to make ends meet was not someone else, but these emperors and grandsons who were supposed to share the worries of the country!
And the most odious thing is that in order to cover up their words and deeds, they not only eat up and wipe the treasury clean by themselves, but also drag others to dismount together.
Therefore, this time the emperor liquidated, because the Zhen family and the Jia family took the lead, and indeed many people followed closely to repay the loan.
It's just that most of these people are those who were unwilling to borrow in the first place, but were forced to borrow.
I didn't borrow much, so I paid it back quickly.
It's just that in the emperor's opinion, these are far more than that.
Or to put it another way, it's not enough.
Or, what if it's enough?
His goal, from beginning to end, was to make these families fall hard and submit to the imperial power forever.
There was silence above the main hall, and no one dared to speak at this time.
The morning dynasty ended in a haze, and Jia Lian was about to leave, when a small eunuch next to him hurried over.
"Your Majesty, please stay, Your Majesty, please move to the Imperial Study."
The eunuch's unique sharp voice was full of respect, Bao Linghou and Zhongjing Hou originally wanted to wait for Jia Lian to discuss the current situation on the way, and when they saw this, they knew that it was hopeless, and several people looked at each other and bowed their heads, and then Jia Lian followed behind the little eunuch.
Such a scene is already the norm in the eyes of others, but no one thinks much about it, but now in this critical period, Baoling Hou Zhongjing Hou glanced back at Jia Lian, and a fine light flashed on his face.
"The old lady is gone, and Brother Lian is getting more and more breathing."
......
"Jia Aiqing is loyal and courageous, it is better for you to take over this matter in the future."
Holding the fold in his hand, when Jia Lian finished saluting, the emperor raised his head and glanced at Jia Lian lightly, and then spoke.
When Jia Lian entered the door, the crown prince Beijing and others were already discussing the matter of national debts in the imperial study, and when they heard that the emperor was like this, they were slightly stunned, and their expressions became ugly.
"The loyalty of the ministers can be seen by the sun and the moon, but Your Majesty, the ministers are young, this kind of thing, I am afraid that I can't stand the table."
Reluctantly spoke, Jia Lian said as he quietly glanced at the prince, with a layer of cold sweat behind him.
This time, he took the lead in paying off the national debt in one go, which was already very risky.
Previously, just in case, and in order to be more realistic, he had already transferred all the Zhuangzi shops under the name of the Jia family to the name of Juren Lane.
The name of Liu Zhaoxuan in Juren Lane was prepared by the Pei family in order to leave a back road for themselves, the foundation is clean and upright, but nothing can be found.
It's just that this wave after wave of people is very nervous.
And not only that, because it was transferred together with Zhuangzi, so during this period of time, the Jia family's food, drink and Lazar should have been directly purchased from the people.
There's a lot of stuff here.
It's just a lead in repayment, and if the emperor directly assigns Jia Lian to do this this time, whether he is competent or not will be another matter.
But Jia Lian knew that because of greed, these people didn't think about paying it back, so if Jia Lian was in a hurry and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, these people were afraid that they would be able to do anything.
If this matter were replaced by someone else, it might not be like this, but Jia Lian is different.
It can be said that since the beginning of the year, Jia Lian's every move has been tolerated by the family for a long time.
If Jia Lian hadn't defended the Jia family like an iron bucket, and strictly demanded that the Jia family not be allowed to come regardless of the master's request, the Jia family would have been grabbed and suppressed a long time ago.
Of course, the emperor's undisguised trust in Jia Lian is also among them.
Jia Lian was not afraid at the beginning, and it also stemmed from this.
But now it's different, now Jia Lian first has the public anger accumulated before, and now it is the public anger, plus the emperor Jia Lian also knows that this old bastard may be eyeing those people, wanting to grab the handle of the Jia family, and then strike hard.
The time and place are favorable, and they can't occupy any of them.
In this case, Jia Lian is not tired yet, how dare he take over.
With a worried face, Jia Lian was really scared this time.
It's just that the prince didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he didn't look at Jia Lian at all, and he was still grinding ink for the emperor in an orderly and unhurried manner, and he didn't mean to give Jia Lian a hint at all.
"Aiqing is modest, I think this is a good idea, what does the prince think?"
Unlike the seriousness of talking to Jia Lian, when the emperor looked at the crown prince, there was obviously a smile on his face.
In addition to the crown prince, there was also King Beijing and the other two princes in the room, seeing that they had different thoughts, the prince raised his head when he heard this, and glanced at Jia Lian inadvertently, and then said with a smile.
"Father is wise, the ability of Liancheng during this period is obvious to all, and I can do it too."
As he spoke, he looked at King Beijing as if he was discussing, and the corners of the prince's mouth rose.
"What does Brother Wang think?"
Regarding the crown prince's move, the emperor did not stop it, but turned his head for a while, as if he was also referring to the opinions of King Beijing and others.
The other two are okay, because under the aura of the crown prince Beijing King and others, their presence is minimal, and there will naturally be no unexpected answers to such a topic.
However, he echoed and congratulated twice, and Jia Lian was also modest.
I don't know what kind of medicine these people bought in the gourd, Jia Lian felt bad, and regretted that he had moved a stone to hit his feet this time, and he never thought that King Beijing next to him looked at him with a smile, and then bowed his hand respectfully to the emperor.
"Back to my father, my son feels that Lord Jia is fine everywhere, but this kind of thing is not appropriate."
King Beijing and the Jia family are actually quite related, when Mrs. Wang died, she also personally set up a road sacrifice, and Haosheng praised Jia Baoyu.
Later, the second room of the long house of Rongguo Mansion was separated, and the king of Beijing also gave several posts to Rongguo Mansion, but Jia Lian was really tired of the way this prince looked at Jia Baoyu, so he never went.
Over time, the relationship between King Beijing and Daguanyuan was as usual, even when Jia Baoyu was imprisoned and died by Jia Zhengguan to study, only King Beijing's post could let him escape from the cage.
Therefore, under the role of Jia Baoyu's hub, it has never been a secret that Beijing Wangfu and Daguanyuan have close contacts.
But with Rongguo Mansion, the relationship is not so comfortable.
What is maintained is just a nodding acquaintance.
Even, it's not satisfactory.
You must know that King Beijing had personally come to Jia Lian before, and between his words, he also meant to solicit.
Jia Lian knew that the most taboo thing for the emperor was the collusion between the courtiers and the prince, so naturally he would not commit a taboo, although there was no righteous refusal, but there were still a few gentle words.
Therefore, King Beijing's words now made Jia Lian a little surprised.
After all, such a situation is a completely thankless task for everyone to know.
If it is done well, it will not be successful, but if it is done badly, it will not only be the emperor, but also the revenge of the military officials.
And now King Beijing's words, in Jia Lian's view, are tantamount to the sound of heaven.
"Oh~ Then you should tell me, why is it inappropriate?"
With faint eyes, the emperor looked at his son, who had always been favored, with interest on his face, but his eyes were a little colder.
When the prince heard this, he quickly glanced in the direction of Jia Lian, shook his head slightly, and then lowered his head and continued the work in hand.
"Back to my father, my son feels that although Master Jia has done nothing wrong over the years, he is just young in the end, and he is suddenly in a high position, and he is not able to serve the public, and now it is such an important errand, if he is sent there, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold it down."
