Chapter 224: Jia Huan
Jia Huan's deep and powerful voice echoed in the Guangming Hall of the Wanmin Palace.
However, the demeanors of the officials in the hall are different......
Generally speaking, Wen Chen's face was not very good-looking, and the generals looked at Jia Huan with a faint appreciation in their eyes, regardless of the camp......
The civil officials' faces are not good, not that they have opinions about Rongguo Gong, but that it is rooted in the civil and military disputes.
In all dynasties, there were many contradictions between civil ministers and military generals.
Wenchen thinks that the military generals will bring disaster to the country if they are in power, while the military generals think that the military generals are a group of soft bones who are greedy for life and afraid of death......
Jia Huan's heroic words, from the bottom of his bones, there is no doubt that he is a little martial artist.
Hearing such an oath in the New Year, it is strange that Wenchen's face can be good-looking.
Emperor Longzheng looked at Jia Huan with some amusement, he had his own channels, and he had already learned the content of the conversation of everyone in Donglai Shun Restaurant yesterday, so he didn't doubt what Jia Huan said.
It's just that......
"It's good that you have ambition, but if you have ambition, you have to turn it into motivation and work hard. Can you become a commander of the army by daydreaming there? ”
Emperor Long Zheng rarely smiled a little and said to Jia Huan.
When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts, and the longevity of the saints of the Jia family can be seen.
This Emperor Longzheng, when he was the fourth prince before he ascended the throne, was a famous iceberg, and his majesty was so great that he was not as good as the prince of Zhongyi back then.
After ascending the throne as emperor, there were few smiling faces in front of the ministers.
Being able to "advise" Jia Huan like this really made many ministers feel pantothenic......
When Jia Huan heard this, he scratched the back of his head a little shyly. Nodding his head, he said, "Yes...... The Ministers will obey His Majesty's will. ”
"Ahem!"
Xu couldn't stand the answer between the two, and Sun Cheng, the big fat man in the household, suddenly coughed twice. looked at Jia Huan and said, "Lord Jia, the headquarters is in accordance with the will of the Holy Lord." I ask you questions and hope that you will answer truthfully. ”
Jia Huan was a little inexplicable, looked at this Sun Shangshu and said: "You ask, my biggest problem is that I am honest and never lie." ”
"Hahaha!"
The ranks of the generals laughed out loud.
The ranks of civil officials are mostly frowning people, including Jia Huan's Laozi and Jia Zheng.
Sun Cheng darkened his face and said in a deep voice: "Above the court, in front of Your Majesty." Do you dare to be presumptuous? ”
Jia Huan blinked his eyes and said innocently: "Lord Sun, aren't you wronged?" I didn't move, I honestly answered your words, why was I presumptuous? ”
A look of disgust flashed in Sun Cheng's naked eyes, and he snorted, and said, "The headquarters doesn't have a flamboyant dispute with you, and now the headquarters asks you, do you know how Lin Ruhai is now?" ”
Jia Huan heard this. was stunned again, and only then did he realize who Lin Ruhai was, and his tone became more and more strange: "How is Lin Ruhai, you ask me?" How would I know? ”
Sun Cheng snorted coldly and said, "Lin Ruhai is gracious to the emperor. It's been four years since the salt administration, but in the past four years. The salt tax in Jiangnan every year is 10% less than the previous year. Recently, he has presented several more twists and turns. said that he was seriously ill and difficult to recover, and he wanted to resign from his official position to recuperate. Since he is your in-law in Jiafu. You are the patriarch of the Jia clan now, and the headquarters doesn't ask you, so who should you ask? ”
Hearing this, Jia Huan suddenly remembered Li Guangdi's warning and reminder to him yesterday, and he didn't understand that this group of bastards had already made a move.
Jia Huan thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Sun, what happened to Lord Lin Ruhai Lin now, I really don't know below. But...... Lord Sun just said that since Lord Lin took office as the salt administration, the salt tax in Jiangnan has been reduced by one percent every year, so why didn't you say it earlier?
Also, if you have doubts in your heart, whether Lord Lin is really seriously ill, then you should report to Your Majesty and send someone to investigate, why did you ask me?
Am I saying that he is not sick if he is not sick, and that he is faking illness when he is pretending to be sick?
Master Sun, don't you think it's too childish and child's play? ”
"You ......"
Where did Sun Cheng think that in front of the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials, Jia Huan actually had the courage to speak like this, and he didn't expect Jia Huan to be so ruthless and cunning, framing him for being too small and childish......
Sun Cheng's big face was flushed with anger, no matter what, his face was lost today.
"Ahem......"
Another cough broke the deadlock, and an old man in a purple robe stood up, and after saluting Emperor Longzheng on the dragon chair, he said slowly in a young voice: "Your Majesty, Yanzheng is a big profit and tax collector of the country, and you can't afford to lose." Lin Ruhai, the four generations of his ancestors are all the marquis of my Great Qin, and he is quite famous. Moreover, Lin Ruhai himself is also from the National Dynasty Tanhualang and is a square person. Since he said that he was seriously ill and difficult to recover, it should be true.
However, what Viscount Jia said was not bad. Since Lord Hubu Sun has doubts about his administration, it is better to send a Lantai Temple Imperial History to check it out. ”
Jia Huan looked at the old man, and was a little confused about what he said, was he talking about good or bad?
If it's a good word, how can you really send someone to investigate?
Jia Huan has never been an official, so he doesn't know what officialdom is like.
But when I watched the news in my previous life, I heard those criminals say that in this officialdom, as long as you check it carefully, none of them are clean.
Jia Huan didn't think that the officialdom of Great Qin would be much more incorruptible than the officialdom of my Great Heavenly Empire, so he ......
But if you want to say that he said bad things, the previous ones are not bad.
Jia Huan, the first official in the officialdom, was confused, and peeked at Niu Jizong, and when he saw Niu Jizong's iron face, he knew that this old coffin was digging a hole for him.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Sun Cheng's big oily face instantly began to shine, and he nodded again and again: "What Chen Ge Lao said is very true, but the subordinate officials are not thoughtful. Since this is the case, then the lower officials recommend Sun Guang, the imperial history of Lantai Temple, to ......"
"Eh, it's not ...... right"
Before Sun Cheng finished speaking, he saw another old man in a purple robe behind Li Guangdi stand up and said, "Your Majesty, just as Chen Menglei and Chen Ge said. Lin Ruhai's ancestors have been four generations of princes, and he has been famous for generations. Lin Ruhai himself is also a square person. Since he said that he was seriously ill, there was nothing wrong with thinking about it.
This time. Even if the imperial court is hindered by etiquette and it is inconvenient to send a royal doctor for it, it should also be comforted. But you can't send Yu Shi to investigate, otherwise, with Lin Ruhai's upright heart, in a fit of anger, I am afraid that something unbearable will happen. At that time, not only will we have no shame on our faces, but even the face of the court and Your Majesty will be lost! ”
Chen Menglei heard this. He snorted lightly and said, "Ge Li Ge's old words are serious, right?" Since you are a member of the imperial court, you should be prepared to be questioned by the imperial court, and if you don't, you will be encouraged. Lin Ruhai was originally a doctor of Lantai Temple, so he should naturally understand the rules. ”
Ge Li smiled and said, "Elder Chen, not everyone has such a good heart as Elder Chen, and he can withstand years of scrutiny and get better and better...... Besides, Lin Ruhai is still seriously ill. Rashly sending someone to check the accounts, hehe, it is really undignified. ”
After Chen Menglei heard Ge Li's words, the anger on his face flashed. This sentence is already a slap in the face to him.
Chen Menglei's life history is strange, and it can be regarded as ancient and modern.
As soon as he entered the ranks. didn't become two young fast officials, and was reported. He was said to have been involved in island rebellion, and was later imprisoned.
The person who reported him. It was his fellow countryman and friend Lee Kwang-di.
With this report, Li Guangdi embarked on his road to prosperity, and Chen Menglei began the ups and downs of a difficult life.
After ten years in prison, he was released from prison, and then drifted away for another twenty years, until thirty years later, Li Guangdi had become the old Zaifu of the pavilion, and Chen Menglei was appreciated by Prince Zhongshun Yingyu in his destitude and helplessness.
After being strongly recommended by Prince Zhongshun, Chen Menglei was promoted at a speed faster than that of a meteor.
He himself is indeed capable, and after suffering a series of overt or covert suppressions, not only was he not suppressed, but he finally sat in the position of a cabinet minister and became a winner in life.
But the thirty years that were wasted before were also the most precious thirty years of his life, and they were always the things he hated the most in his heart.
At this moment, Ge Li said ridicule to his face, and it can be imagined that the anger in Chen Menglei's heart was strong.
"Your Majesty, the matter of Lin Ruhai is related to the majesty of national law, and it must not be investigated!"
Chen Menglei blushed with a face, bowed down and said in a deep voice.
Ge Li also held the wat board in both hands, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, outside of the law, it is nothing more than human affection. Lao Chen is not advocating not to investigate, but can he wait for Lin Ruhai's illness to recover a little before checking. ”
Chen Menglei said sharply: "The national law is majestic, how can it be said that human affection comes from? If he is sick for a long time, shall we sit back and wait for him to be healed? If he doesn't recover in ten years, shall we wait ten years to check on him? ”
Grace was speechless: "When did I say that I would wait ten years to check it, I just said, wait until he is a little better." Elder Chen Ge, your heart is too extreme......"
"You!!"
The two ministers in purple robes quarreled loudly in front of Emperor Longzheng and hundreds of civil and military officials.
Although Emperor Long Zheng looked at Chen Menglei with extreme disgust in his heart, he still highly recognized what Chen Menglei said.
The law of the land is ruthless!
If even the law of the country has to talk about human feelings, then what kind of law do you need?
It's just that......
Lin Ruhai can be said to be Emperor Longzheng's confidant, and Emperor Longzheng knows why the tax and silver handed over to the treasury have been decreasing over the years.
All the reduced tax money actually went into his inner treasury.
To put it mildly, he is the emperor of a country and wants to spend money to do some "private affairs", but he can't extract a tael of silver from the household.
As for the Royal Internal Affairs Office, it has always been in the hands of the Emperor Taishang, controlled by the King of the Nine Counties, and he is even more at a loss.
In the past few years, if it weren't for Lin Ruhai secretly paying him a large amount of money every year, he wouldn't even be able to build the CRRC Mansion......
If there is no CRRC Mansion, he, the emperor, will become a real deaf and blind man, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve good results in the end.
But looking at the arguing ministers in the palace, Emperor Longzheng's head was big, and the anger in his heart also rose.
There is no financial power if you want financial power, you don't have personnel power if you want personnel power, not to mention military power.
He, the emperor, was really depressed.
Even the ministers dared to be presumptuous in front of him......
But he can't get angry, and he can't watch everyone argue, otherwise what's the system?
Just when he was entangled, Su Peisheng, the chief eunuch of the Wanmin Palace, suddenly touched the corner of his clothes and handed him a note.
Seeing this, Long Zheng's brows suddenly furrowed, and just as he wanted to get angry, he saw Su Peisheng make a "Wu" mouth shape to him.
Emperor Longzheng was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly took the note quietly, opened it and saw that it was indeed the handwriting of Mr. Wu, the emperor.
I saw two words written on the note: "Jia Huan!" ”
…… (To be continued.) )
PS: Oops, Mom, I've finally written this chapter.
The heads are big!
There are so many chapters in front of me, and it is beating people and attracting courtiers, and it is for this chapter in the end.
I think after reading this chapter, everyone will understand what the next plot is.
I really can't rush anymore, next month, let's have two chapters.
I was in too much of a hurry to write three chapters a day, and I tried my best to write them, but I could only write them overtime in the middle of the night every day, and my energy and brain power were overrun.
If it's just that the body is tired, it's nothing, man, it's not a big deal to suffer a little more when you're young, and I'm not Lin Daiyu.
But the point is that the articles that are driven out are really not up to the standard.
I don't know if any of the book friends who read books today scolded the street, and I also admitted the scolding.
I just hope that everyone can be patient until the next plot begins.
At this moment, I am smiling bitterly and having a headache.
