This year's Jingcha is coming soon, and An Ming knows that as long as he talks to the new Shangshu with the adults, he will definitely be able to be reinstated smoothly. So, these days he stayed at home all day, waiting for the good news to come. But who knows, at this juncture, something happened.

He hung up.

According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, if an official has a parent who has died, he must return home to observe filial piety for three years, and when the mourning period expires, he will be re-elected and assigned to a position. An Ming saw that the fat shortage of this household farmer was about to arrive, and he didn't know how many variables he would have to give birth to when he went home at this time, but he was afraid that when he came back, this piece of fat meat might not necessarily go to anyone's mouth. Thinking of this, he could only go to Lord He again, hoping that Lord He could show him the way.

"My lord, a few days ago, I received an urgent letter from home, saying that my father had passed away and asked me to go back to handle the funeral." An Ming was not vague, and when he came up, he told him about his affairs.

"This matter can't be delayed, why don't you go back?!" He Shen was puzzled.

"Adult, although the little one misses his hometown, it is also the duty of the son of man to go back to the funeral, but the little one has other difficulties!" An Ming said with a sad face.

"What's the trouble, say it and see." And the adults said.

"My lord, you also know that according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, if both parents of an official have died, they must go home and observe filial piety for three years before they can be reactivated. Now that the officialdom is changing, I don't know what will happen in three years, and I'm afraid I will never be able to reinstate myself in my life. If so, then what face will I have to go back to my dead father! In order to achieve his goal, An Ming actually moved out his dead father.

"It's not easy!" It is difficult to be an adult.

"My lord, I know it's difficult, that's why I'm here for you! I don't plan to report this matter to the ministry first, as long as you help me suppress it, it shouldn't be a big problem. An Ming had already thought of a way.

Why press?! There is no impermeable wall in this world, as long as the officials know about it, An Ming will immediately have to go home to mourn. I want to come back, let's talk about it in three years! But when they come forward with adults, things are different, and even if they have gotten the news, they will only say: What?! An Ming's Lao Tzu is dead?! No way, I was drinking with him last night.

What is it?! You know that......

After thinking about it with adults for a long time, I always felt that something was wrong: this money is not in place! An Ming looked at him, and hurriedly took out a piece of beautiful jade in his arms. There are countless beautiful jades that adults have seen in their lives, but this piece is natural, without the slightest flaw, round and meticulous, and as light as mutton fat. Not only that, its workmanship is also very exquisite, the carving knife on the jade is skillful, the lines are smooth, and the style of the ornamentation is simple and elegant, which is really a rare treasure! This piece of jade should be all of An Ming's belongings.

He hesitated again and again, and saw that An Ming couldn't take out anything anymore, so he said: "Okay, just do as you say, I think your father will forgive you underground." It's just that this matter must be kept secret, and if the news of your father's death spreads too widely, I can't do anything about it! ”

"Master Xie, you are my biological parents!" An Ming knelt down and thanked him again.

An Ming's words were originally very pleasant, but it was very uncomfortable to listen to at this time, so he hurriedly sent him away.

Reborn parents, aren't you already dead?!

After An Ming said goodbye, he stood quietly in the room alone with the adults, playing with this piece of jade. I don't know when, Ji Wen walked in.

"Master, I accidentally overheard your conversation just now, isn't that okay?!" Ji Wen has been with Yinglian since she was a child, and Yinglian's incorruptibility has always deeply influenced him. Watching her husband accept bribes and bend the law for personal gain, she felt quite uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, it's just a deal......" He was slightly taken aback, he didn't want his wife to know about this, but at this point, he could only say that.

"This ......" Ji Wen originally wanted to say something, but when the adult saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward, patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's really nothing, I have my own measure!" ”

Ji Wen sighed secretly, didn't say anything more, and left the study.

And Lord He suppressed the death of An Ming's father, and promoted him to the position of secretary to the new head of the household department. Where did this new Shangshu dare to refuse, and agreed to it. After An Mingguan was reinstated, he immediately went to the Hefu with a generous gift to thank him, and the adults naturally accepted it.

This is the first time in history that an adult has shown favoritism. From then on, he opened the door to hell for himself, and continued on this path, running wildly all the way, until he fell into the abyss of infernal abyss and fell into reincarnation forever.

The promotion history of the gods and adults has attracted the envy of countless officials. These people are unbalanced in their hearts and secretly pay special attention to things related to him. I don't know who leaked the news of An Ming's bereavement, and the entire household knows about it. Many people have seen the methods of adults and know that he is not easy to mess with, so they just spread the word secretly, and the gossip is flying all over the sky overnight. This time, he ushered in the second opponent in his life.

Formidable opponents.

Zhu Qizi Shijun, a jinshi in the twelfth year of Qianlong (1747), was only 17 years old that year. Since then, he has successively served as the Hubei Provincial Inspectorate, the Shanxi Political Envoy, and the Bachelor of Waiters. In the forty-first year of Qianlong (1776), he walked in the study and taught Emperor Jiaqing to read. He was a famous Confucian master at that time, and he was very disgusted with the unscrupulous way of officials to get promoted and rich. In his eyes, the representative of this faction and the adult are naturally typical of the typical.

In the first month of the forty-third year of Qianlong (1778), Zhu Jue accidentally got the secret of An Ming's bereavement. He was very angry at An Ming's behavior, and he was even more indignant at the protection of adults. He had no power in his hands, but he had a good relationship with Yonggui, the secretary of the ministry at that time, and on this day, he found Yonggui and asked him to come forward to impeach and adults.

We may not be familiar with Yonggui, but I think everyone will be familiar with the two ministers who are also the three ministers trusted by Lord Qianlong, they are Ah Gui and Fu Kangan. Now let's talk about Yonggui.

Yonggui was the governor of Zhejiang at the beginning, known for his honesty and integrity, and later tuntian Xinjiang, and put down rebellions many times. In the past few years, he returned to the capital and served as the secretary of the ministry, and he was also one of the ministers of military aircraft. This person is as famous as Ah Gui, and is known as 'Ergui'. Lord Qianlong once publicly praised him, "The sky opens my eyes, so that I know the heart of eternal nobility." ”

Zhu Jue knew that if he wanted to impeach and adults, he had to let these important ministers take action in order to have an effect. Of course, this responsibility naturally fell to his old friend Yonggui.

"Yo, what kind of wind is blowing you here today?!" Yonggui learned that his old friend was coming, and hurriedly went out to greet him.

"Don't say it, I really have something to ask you for today!" Zhu Jue is a cheerful person, has a very good relationship with Yonggui, and does not beat around the bush when he speaks.

"Okay, let's go into the house and talk about it slowly." Yonggui let Zhu Jue into the study. The servants had seen the tea and then withdrew.

Seeing this, Zhu Jue slowly spoke: "My lord, I have heard some news these days, saying that the old father An Ming, the secretary of the household department, died of illness but did not report it. The right attendant of the household department, Lang and Shen, actually sponsored him in Jingcha, which is really unseemly. ”

"Is that really happening?!" Yonggui was also surprised by such an outrageous thing.

"Our brothers haven't been around for a year or two, don't you know who I am?! Do you think I'm the kind of gossip person?! This matter has long been spread in the household department, but everyone is in the way of Heshen's face, and no one dares to say anything. Zhu Jue said helplessly.

When Yonggui heard this, he was so angry that he slapped the case and said angrily: "The kindness of parents is as heavy as Mount Tai, An Ming should have been at home with peace of mind, but he is so obsessed with official positions, he really lives in vain in the world." My Qing Dynasty uses filial piety to settle the world, how can I allow such an unfilial person to be an official in the court?! ”

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that this An Ming is such a person. However, his backstage is Heshen, which is much trickier. Zhu Jue sighed.

"He Shen didn't even know about it?! In this case, I must show my body and the country. Yonggui said with a righteous face.

"He is now a big celebrity in front of the saint, and I am afraid it is not good to act recklessly." Zhu Qi suggested.

"I'll send someone to An Ming's hometown to check it out. The emperor hates this kind of unfilial person the most. If the evidence is conclusive, even if He Shen is favored, he will inevitably be guilty of dereliction of duty. "Yonggui is not an emotional person, he acts very carefully.

"Okay, then I'm much more relieved." Zhu Jue's heart finally let go.

In his opinion, Lord He will inevitably suffer a heavy blow this time and fall out of favor with Lord Qianlong. However, the heavens seemed to be interested in favoring him, and the news somehow reached his ears. And the person who leaked this heavenly secret to the adults is quite ironic, he is none other than Yonggui's precious son Yi Ajiang.
