Chapter 1253: Surprise
It is almost the New Year, although the rule at the gates of the capital is that they will not be closed until the afternoon of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But in fact, after twenty-three, the gates of the yamen were basically idle.
Except for the 100,000 urgent matters at the border gates, the other officials of the Beijing Ministry ignored them and sealed them all before they were disposed of later.
The only thing to do now is to put a New Year's watch in the palace.
Then wait for the governor of other provinces to enter Beijing, after sprinkling ice and paying tribute to carbon, look at the harvest, and then think about whether he can have a fat year or a thin year when he returns home......
In this way, the number of twists and turns sent to the palace has been reduced by half.
And Emperor Longzheng, who had been busy for a whole year and couldn't rest for a day, finally ushered in a respite......
Today, Emperor Longzheng rarely took a day off, so he hosted the queen and Prince Zhongyi, Zhang Tingyu, Guo Xiu, and the five princes to win the day, and Prince Zhongyi's son to win the winter plum together.
It can be regarded as a reward for the hard work of these people in the past year, of course, Win Day and Win Pu are the ones who started.
Before entering the park, I got a secret letter from CRRC Mansion, saying that Jia Huan sent some self-portraits to Mrs. Rong Guotai, which was very interesting.
Emperor Longzheng moved his mind and sent Su Peisheng to take a look.
Now that the affairs of the court are getting smoother and smoother, all the liquidations in Beijing are stable, and there are few people who dare to violate the yang and the yin.
Because in addition to Zhang Tingyu, Emperor Longzheng found another official who was very favored by him, that is, this Guo Xiu.
Although this person is not as amazing as Zhang Tingyu's talent through heaven and earth, he is also extremely good.
And there is Zhang Boxing's conduct, honesty, and integrity.
In the more than 20 years that King Zhongshun was in power, Guo Xiu never said a word and did not attach himself to the party.
So I sat on the cold bench for 20 years.
It wasn't until Emperor Longzheng took power that he swept away the dullness of the past, and within ten days, he made 28 excerpts in a row, and he played all the remnants of the Manchu Dynasty's loyalty and obedience.
Asano sideways!
Therefore, he was able to enter the eyes of Emperor Longzheng, and in just a few months, he was promoted from a seventh-grade Taoist official to a third-grade Lantai Temple doctor.
After Zhang Boxing was bedridden in winter, Guo Xiu temporarily took charge of the Yushi Pavilion of Lantai Temple on his behalf.
The promotion is so rapid, even Zhang Tingyu at the beginning can't compare.
It also lived up to the expectations of Emperor Longzheng, and when he first took office, he swept away the charm and charm in the Lantai Temple with a very tough and stern attitude, and lived in chaos.
and promoted many stunned young people who dared to speak out......
is bold, but even Emperor Longzheng is correct, but it is more and more reused by the emperor.
Holy Grace Days.
Junchen and his entourage walked slowly across the stone bridge paved with white marble, talking and laughing while admiring the hundreds of early blooming winter plums in the imperial garden.
Zhang Tingyu and Guo Xiu are all talented poets, and Emperor Longzheng and Prince Zhongyi are also well-versed in literature and ink, leaving a few poems of Yongmei.
After crossing the stone bridge, I ascended to the Yunyan Pavilion.
Dozens of Huangmen attendants and palace maids Zhaorong stood on the side.
The palace attendants have already burned the earth dragon under the pavilion here, and there are green barriers around it, so there is no cold wind.
There are several high points scattered in the pavilion, and the emperor and queen are above.
Emperor Longzheng is not a man of many words, so he beckoned and let everyone sit down.
I was about to say "let's eat" and finished eating......
I saw Su Peisheng walking hurriedly with a little yellow door.
Emperor Longzheng raised his eyebrows, and he didn't rush to start the banquet first.
Seeing this scene, Ying Xiang smiled slightly.
Empress Dong, Zhang Tingyu and others are also not surprised.
"Your Majesty......"
Su Peisheng stepped forward with three long boxes in his hand and said with a smile: "I've taken them all." β
Emperor Long Zheng said noncommittally "um" and said, "That's all? β
Su Peisheng hurriedly said: "The others are mostly portraits of Ning Hou and the Jia family, so ......"
"Humph!"
Emperor Long Zheng said unhappily: "This bastard knows that he is messing around in the women's pile all day long, and he hasn't grown at all." β
As he spoke, Su Peisheng had already opened a long box, took out the picture scroll, and slowly opened it and presented it to Emperor Longzheng.
Empress Dong on the side already knew that this was a portrait given by Jia Huan to Mrs. Rong Guotai, and it had nothing to do with political affairs, so she did not shy away from it, turned over slightly, and watched it with Emperor Longzheng.
Just looking at this one, I lost Fengyi.
"Poof!"
What the emperor and queen saw was Jia Huan's meaningful smile and slanted eyes to make a "funny" picture.
Because of the realistic painting method, the real painting is vivid.
Empress Dong covered her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief and laughed non-stop.
Emperor Long Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth and scolded: "This bastard thing is used to making trouble." There was still a smile on his face.
After that, he handed the painting to the curious Ying Xiang and the others on the side.
Ying Xiang is kind by nature, in addition to being strict with his only son Ying Pu, he is kind and pleasant to the children of other clans.
Therefore, as soon as the painting came to him, Ying Tian looked at Emperor Xia Longzheng, and saw that he was looking at another painting, so he quietly slipped to Ying Xiang's side.
This kid was born with a naΓ―ve spirit, and when he saw Jia Huan's appearance, he couldn't help laughing.
Until Emperor Longzheng's knife-like eyes looked over......
"Your Majesty, it seems that Jia Huan, this kid, is still a little filial and knows how to entertain relatives with colorful clothes."
Ying Xiang looked at the painting and said with a smile.
Emperor Long Zheng's face was not very good, and then he gave the second painting in his hand to Ying Xiang casually, and said coldly: "What filial piety does he have?" I think it's a seed without filial piety! β
Ying Xiang was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand why Emperor Longzheng was suddenly annoyed.
But seeing Empress Dong pursing her lips and snickering on the side, Ying Xiang breathed a sigh of relief first, and then looked down at the second painting in his hand, but it was the painting of Jia Huan kneeling and bowing to Jia's mother.
Ying Xiang was originally a very smart person, and after thinking about it for a while, he figured out the reason why Emperor Longzheng was displeased, and he laughed and said: "This bastard boy, I'm afraid I don't know the rules yet."
The governor of other provinces, who doesn't know how to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor early?
He was so young that he forgot to pay filial piety to the emperor.
After returning to Beijing in the future, the emperor will settle accounts with him as a good student. β
It's good that Emperor Longzheng didn't listen, but when he heard it, he became even more angry, and said angrily: "Did he forget?" He didn't have this filial piety! β
"Your Majesty!!"
Ying Xiang was about to persuade with a smile, when he heard a sudden loud cheer from the side, cutting off his words and almost startling Ying Tian beside him......
The originally leisurely and homely atmosphere suddenly changed and became solemn.
Emperor Long Zheng's face remained unchanged, but his thin eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Guo Xiu, who had a sudden attack for some reason.
Guo Xiu originally knelt on the side of Gao Ji, but at this moment, he stood up, stood tall, and admonished: "Your Majesty is the lord of the world and the emperor of all people."
Ning Hou is just a courtier.
What qualifications does he have to let His Majesty be filial piety?
Your Majesty is like this, how can the system exist?
Your Majesty, be cautious! β
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed.
I couldn't help but gasp.
How dare this guy say it......
Emperor Long Zheng even blackened his face on the spot.
Open-minded like Tang Taizong, he also wanted to kill Wei Zheng several times.
What's more, Emperor Longzheng, who is lonely and stubborn.
He can tolerate Guo Xiu in official affairs, keep his own opinions and admonish the king.
But he couldn't stand it and pointed fingers in private and slapped his face on the spot......
However, in the end, there is still a certain degree of tolerance, and he couldn't bear to be displeased, snorted coldly, and Emperor Longzheng said: "Doesn't Guo Aiqing know the merits of Jia Huan Yu and Yu Guochao?"
He was fiercely loyal to me, more faithful than most of his courtiers.
It was also for the sake of me and the court that I made concessions.
Since the second Duke of Rongning, the Jia family has made great contributions to the Jiangshan Sheji.
He has always helped me a lot......
I love my son and nephew, what's wrong? β
When Guo Xiu heard this, he wanted to refute with a stalk on his neck, but he was held down by Ying Xiang and pressed back to his original seat.
Ying Xiang said with a half-serious and half-sneering smile: "Ruifu, in this matter, you don't want to be the 'Iron Mask Imperial History' anymore."
You are also an understanding person, and now you are in charge of Lantai Temple, as the emperor's beloved minister, in addition to being iron-faced and selfless, you must also consider a higher level.
Jia Huan has a special identity, and he has made great contributions to the country and the emperor, but he is very sensible, meritorious but not arrogant, for the overall situation of the emperor and the court, he knows how to retreat bravely and not worry about the emperor.
is so young, such a child, the emperor spoils more, it is not a big deal. β
Guo Xiu was not convinced, and wanted to say something, but Zhang Tingyu, who had never taken the initiative to speak, said with difficulty: "Lord Guo, Your Majesty and the prince have discussed this matter many times, and I have been asked several times, and I think that it is most appropriate to do it in His Majesty's way."
Today, Your Majesty rarely has a day to spare, so Lord Guo should not say more about this matter. β
Guo Xiu saw that none of the three people with the most power in charge of the Great Qin Dynasty agreed with him, although he was depressed and indignant in his heart, he still kept his mouth shut in the end.
He actually knew that Emperor Longzheng favored Jia Huan, and there was no big problem.
Jia Huan is different from the disaster of Jiang Bin in the previous dynasty.
Jiang Bin relied on the favor of Zhu Houzhao of Ming Wuzong, flying high, leaning towards the government and the opposition, and having bad intentions.
In this regard, Jia Huan is extremely obedient and never puts his hand into the court.
There is also no indication that he intervened in the court, or that he had formed an alliance with any civil minister.
It's just that as a literati, he is naturally dissatisfied and disgusted with Jia Huan, who was born in Wuxun, and is so close to the emperor.
After being suppressed by the three bigwigs, Guo Xiu drank a glass of wine sullenly.
I heard that there was a lively scene in front of me......
"Yo! Look, the emperor, Jia Huan has become a good money boy! Ouch, he's earned so much money? β
Empress Dong covered her mouth and said in surprise.
On the third painting, Jia Huan's whole person is "big", lying on a hill made of silver, laughing with an exaggerated expression.
A small print note on the side of it: I'm rich!!
When it makes people blush, it really makes people laugh.
Emperor Long Zheng took a deep look at Jia Huan, who was smiling brightly, his eyes fluctuated, and he handed it to Ying Xiang casually.
After Ying Xiang saw it, he laughed out loud and said, "This is the first time I've seen this kind of painting, it's weird and interesting."
Although there is no artistic conception at all, it can truly draw the appearance of people.
Jia Huan is the best at pounding silver, but he really looks like him. β
The greedy man on the side drooled and said, "Thirteenth uncle, how long has Jia Huan been there, and he has earned a silver mountain?" β
Ying Xiang shook his head and said: "This is Jia Huan's use to coax his wife's wife, and the news sent from the south says that he is still losing money, and he has lost a lot." β
Ying Tian was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Thirteenth uncle, how is this possible?" Jia Huan's ability to make money is better than anyone else. My nephew still wants him to help me......
Ahem, Uncle Thirteen, how could he lose money? β
Ying Xiang was extremely patient, and he didn't think Ying Tian was stupid, and explained: "Jia Huan's movements in the south have touched the interests of many people.
Naturally, those people were not happy to think that he was doing a great job in the south, so they thought of spreading rumors and causing trouble and ruining his reputation.
He had no choice but to sell a hundred taels of silver, fifty taels.
In the daughter street he opened, many of the goods were imported from Jiangnan, not his own.
He only asked for the principal of eighty taels of silver for the purchase of goods, but he only sold fifty taels, didn't he lose thirty taels?
And that's not even counting the sidelines......
Alas, he is also not easy. β
Ying Tian was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Jia Huan, who was smiling extremely happily on the painting, and felt something, and muttered: "Strange Dao Father Emperor likes him the most, only his filial piety is ......."
After that, he hung his head in some shame.
Ying Xiang smiled when he saw it: "If you can have this thought, it means that your heart is also good." In the future, if you are more filial to the emperor, you can't be lowered by Jia Huan, right? β
Hearing this, Ying Tian nodded emphatically and said, "My nephew remembers, and in the future, he will definitely be more filial to his father and queen mother than Jia Huan." β
Emperor Long Zheng looked at it from above, and his eyes softened a lot.
Ying Tian was not angry: "Uncle Thirteen, why are those gentry in Jiangnan so bad? My nephew has also heard about the things in the south, Jia Huan ran that daughter street and saved so many poor people, isn't it a good thing? The gentry in Jiangnan didn't know how to help and accumulate more yin virtues, but it would harm his good deeds.
It's a shame that they are still readers, and they don't know where all the sages have read! β
When Ying Xiang heard this, he didn't laugh at Ying Tian's innocence, and brewed the wording, wanting to tell him.
But listening to Guo Xiu on the side, he couldn't help but speak again: "Your Highness's words are wrong!"
Although Marquis Ning is a prince of the country and has made outstanding achievements, he does not have any power to enforce the law.
Even if His Majesty grants him the status of a mission, he is only allowed to inspect and not interfere in local affairs.
However, he didn't know what to do, as soon as he entered Jiangnan, he dared to abolish the governor of Liangjiang, which was a dignified second-class military attachΓ©!
Then, he was even more powerful, leading the troops to loot the entire Qinhuai Qinglou, he ......"
Ying Tian couldn't listen to it anymore, and retorted: "Lord Guo, those Qinglou are all harmful spirits!" They buried so many bones in the pond in their backyard, and locked up a lot of children, they were killing the people of Daqin!
Jia Huan is doing a good deed! β
For the time being, Emperor Longzheng is the only prince who is still interested in the future and is very likely to ascend to the throne in the future, Guo Xiu also suppressed his anger and patiently taught him the way to govern the country, he said: "The minister does not deny that the ultimate goal of Ning Hou is good, but Your Highness, the country has the law of the country."
If the law is not chaotic, the world can be governed in an orderly manner and there will be no chaos.
There is a matter of hiding dirt and dirt in the Qinglou and harming the people, and Ning Hou can tell the governor of Liangjiang or the governor of Jiangsu.
The governor then delegated responsibility to the Jinling prefect, who collected evidence and investigated, and then strictly enforced the law.
The law of the land is ruthless, and it cannot be trampled on.
Only when everyone follows the law of the country can the imperial court run in a long-term and orderly manner.
Your Highness ......"
Ying Day's face was gloomy, and he didn't appreciate Guo Xiu's step-by-step teaching, but had a misunderstanding in his heart, and said, "Master Guo, don't think I'm stupid......
If the officials in Jiangnan can do this, there will be so many dead bones by the Qinhuai River?
I heard that most of those restaurants were opened by those officials in Jiangnan.
Why don't they let them check themselves?
It's not about the protection of officials and officials!
You are an official of Lantai Temple, why didn't you find that pickled place earlier?
The incident in Jiangnan has happened, has Lord Guo checked the Qinglou in the capital? β
I can't talk at all this day, isn't this pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey?
But Guo Xiu, as a doctor of Lantai Temple, can't refute it.
It was his duty, but he didn't do it.
In fact, Guo Xiu didn't know about the dirty things in places like Qinglou.
Not only Jiangnan, but also a random one in Pingkangfang, which is also full of grievances.
But what can he do?
First, Qinglou is a cheap land, and prostitutes are cheap.
is so cheap, since ancient times, no one has thought about doing anything for them, and they should not be looked at by others......
Second, even if he was promoted to a cabinet scholar and achieved the status of the first assistant of the court, he did not have the courage to do anything about Jia Huan.
Qinglou, since ancient times, has been a place where celebrities and gentlemen linger, closer than home.
Don't you hear it, true celebrities, self-wind? Flow?
If he led someone to copy the Qinglou, not to mention the countless powerful and incomparable forces behind the Qinglou, just those celebrities could drown him with a mouthful of spit.
This matter, even if Wei Zheng couldn't do it, how could he do it?
Only Jia Huan, who is not in the officialdom, but has an invincible golden body, dares to do it.
But in the face of Ying Day's accusation, he couldn't say this, and could only be silent for a while.
Ying Tian saw his appearance, and somehow, a wave of anger suddenly rose in his heart.
The fat face was originally harmless to humans and animals, but for a while, he had the majesty of Emperor Longzheng, and said angrily: "In the end, he is just a tricky official!"
I only fight this and that all day long, doing a serious job, but I don't dare to speak.
If you don't do it, others will do it.
If you don't keep quiet, you're still dragging your feet behind your back, saying that people are not good.
What kind of truth is this?
It is said that you Guo Lantai are selfless and upright, and I think you are also fooling my father!
Father, uh......"
scolded rightly, but when the word father was mentioned, Ying Tian suddenly woke up, bluffed into a cold sweat, and only said in his heart that he was crazy, and he actually shouted in front of his father and reprimanded his beloved minister.
For a while, he was bluffing into a big sweat, and his small eyes turned quietly, little by little.
originally thought that he would see an angry black face, but he didn't expect that for the first time in his life, he saw a look of surprise on his father's face......
