"Big brother, there are servants serving you wherever you go now, compared to when our brothers were in Fuqing County, it is really a world of difference." Although he offended his father, Zhao Jiaren still handed over the representative of the incense store to his eldest brother Zhao Jiaxin. When he was about to leave Qingyuan Mansion, his eldest brother Zhao Jiaxin personally sent him off. The two brothers said as they walked, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant. Zhao Jiaren was even in the mood to make a joke.

recalled that when I was in Fuqing, there were three brothers plus Zhao Yong, and I had to do everything myself at that time. Later, it was mainly composed of three people to promote the planting of pyrethrum. Zhao Jiaxin said with a smile: "At that time, our brothers were together, but I felt that it was easier than now." Now I have to take care of everything, just do my own thing, just like before. ”

Zhao Jiaren could understand what Zhao Jiaxin meant, and he said with a straight face: "Big brother, if you meet people who are not the only goal of money, cooperate with those people." Money can never be earned, and people who can cooperate can easily miss out. ”

Zhao Jiaxin smiled bitterly: "Third brother, I want to cooperate with someone like you." I didn't meet it, let alone miss it. ”

"You say that because you're lazy." Zhao Jiaren said jokingly. But after finishing speaking, he said with a straight face: "Now is the time when you have complete control over planting chrysanthemums, big brother, and it's not wrong not to recruit people." I have to sort everything out a few times. ”

When Zhao Jiaxin heard this, he couldn't help but nod again and again, "Indeed." Even if I'm looking for someone, I have to know what to ask someone else to do. ”

While walking, they talked for a long time, and the two exchanged about planting chrysanthemums on a large scale. Seeing that he had arrived at the port, Zhao Jiaxin knew that his younger brother was about to get on the boat, and he finally couldn't help but say, "Third brother." I don't think you should be angry with our father. ”

Zhao Jiaren wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything. There are some things that are not the parties and they simply don't know what is going on. When he arrived at the side of the boat, Zhao Jiaren said: "Big brother, if you can't leave Qingyuan Mansion, hurry up and find land to plant cotton." This matter must not be delayed any longer. ”

"Yes." Zhao Jiaxin replied. Seeing that the third brother looked serious, Zhao Jiaxin couldn't help but make a joke, "Since the third brother is so anxious, you must be able to make a lot of money." I can make a lot of money, so naturally I can lend money to you, third brother. ”

In Qingyuan Mansion and the eldest brother, Zhao Jiaren went straight to the next target, Zhenjiang. As Zhao Zhizhuo said, now the whole Lin'an knows that Ding Daquan values Zhao Jiaren very much, and Zhao Jiaren's real partner is Jia Yidao. As soon as he arrived in Zhenjiang, Zhao Jiaren immediately went to Jia Rudao's mansion.

A moment after the ceremony, the housekeeper took Zhao Jiaren straight into the mansion. Jia Rudao hesitated a little when he saw Zhao Jiaren, but Zhao Jiaren immediately thanked him: "Thanks to Jia Gong's recommendation." ”

"Sit." Jia Yidao didn't answer immediately, but instead put on the intention of talking to Zhao Jiaren.

After Zhao Jiaren sat down, Jia Rudao spoke, "Jiaren, I do have a recommendation." But ......, it was the official who asked you about it first. ”

"The official asked first?" Zhao Jiaren was stunned. The official family took the initiative to ask how to use Zhao Jiaren, and Jia Yidao took the initiative to recommend Zhao Jiaren to the official family, which are two completely different things. If the official family took the initiative to mention it, it means that either Zhao Jiaren is in the emperor's heart, or there are powerful people who have recommended Zhao Jiaren.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jiaren immediately explained to Jia Yidao, "Jia Gong, I only found you this way......

Jia Rudao waved his hand, "Jiaren, you don't have to worry. I think the official family means, he has long wanted to reuse a few clan disciples. Now there is too much chaos in the court. ”

Listening to Jia Yidao say this, Zhao Jiaren also felt reasonable. The purpose of his explanation was just to let Jia Yidao not think that Zhao Jiaren was betting long, if Zhao Jiaren was in the emperor's heart, Jia Yidao probably still wouldn't dare to attack the Zhao clan. As for the chaos in the imperial court, Zhao Jiaren can only say that the official family did see the problems within the imperial court. A powerful faction like Dong Huai and a peacemaker faction like Ding Daquan fought extremely fiercely.

Judging from the arrangement of the two of them to work together, the original intention of the official family is likely to hope that Ding Daquan can unite the imperial court, while Dong Huai has introduced various ways to solve problems. Facts have proved that the official family is taking it for granted. Dong Huai believes that the solution to the problem is to kill all the voters led by Ding Daquan first. After Ding Daquan, who was a peacemaker, found that he was incapable of 'uniting' Dong Huai, he chose to attack Dong Huai.

Stumped that I really got a good time? Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but think in his heart. Maybe the official family did not give up this model of 'mixing different opinions', but just wanted to introduce a high-ranking official from the Zhao family to balance the government? However, this situation did not appear in the previous life, Zhao Jiaren could only think about it, but he was not sure of the truth of the matter.

Of course, Jia Rudao can be the prime minister, or he is alone. It shows that the current official family Song Lizong has a strong sense of trust in his relatives.

Five days later, when Zhao Jiaren was waiting outside the gate of Lin'an Palace, he was still thinking about his discussion with Jia Yidao in Yangzhou.

"Jia Gong, how did you recommend me to the official family?" Zhao Jiaren was eager to figure out what happened.

"If the official asks me, I will write what you told me to the official. In the end, I wrote that you should be removed from the Fujian Road to the prison. The official only replied with one sentence, I know. Jia Rudao recounted what had happened before.

At this time, it was only early spring in February, and the weather in Lin'an was still very cold, so Zhao Jiaren stood outside the palace gate and waited quietly for the official to summon him. There were many people entering and leaving the palace gate, and many people looked at Zhao Jiaren with various emotions. And Zhao Jiaren is just a small county lieutenant of Fuqing County, and he doesn't know any of these bigwigs. The only fact that Zhao Jiaren knew was that the person who could decide his fate was in the palace in front of him.

waited from morning to noon, and waited for a eunuch to deliver the decree and told Zhao Jiaren that he could go back to his residence first and continue to wait. The next day, a eunuch came to the residence and asked Zhao Jiaren to go to the official department to go through the formalities, and the official family did not summon Zhao Jiaren.

In a confused situation, Zhao Jiaren could only obey his fate. Fortunately, the officials are not so unreliable as the officials, although those personnel are full of emotions, and the procedures that should be taken are left to Zhao Jiaren.

On February 18, the fourth year of Song Li Baoyou, Zhao Jiaren finally became a prisoner in Fujian Road. From the founding of the Great Song Dynasty to the present, Zhao Jiaren has created the youngest jinshi and the youngest county lieutenant, and then set the youngest history of raising prisons.

After Zhao Jiaren got the appointment documents, he gave the official family a thank you form and immediately set off to rush back to Fujian. The next day, Xie Biao appeared on the imperial case of the official Song Lizong. At the table stood Ding Daquan. Song Lizong asked Ding Daquan coldly, "Has Zhao Jiaren been looking for you these days?" ”

Ding Daquan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied: "Official, the minister didn't know that Zhao Jiaren had arrived in Lin'an. He never went to the minister's house. ”

Song Lizong nodded slightly, and at this time, the chamberlain Dong Song Chen came and said, "Official, the pavilion has been prepared." ”

Glancing at Dong Songchen, Song Lizong was in a very complicated mood. Just before Zhao Jiaren entered Beijing, it was suddenly a thunderbolt, the silver snake danced wildly, and the people of Lin'an were very happy to see the excitement.

However, the young superintendent of military weapons and the editor of the Academy of National History, the reviewer of the Records Academy, and the storyteller of the Chongzheng Palace, Mu Zicai, gave Song Lizong a table, "Yuan Xi Zhang Lantern is extravagant, advocating excellence and inferiority, laughing at strange skills, and defiling and banning, all of which are bad for His Majesty in Dong and Song Dynasty." Today, the earthquake is demonstrating, and the ministers wish that the Holy Ming will be enlightened and the will of heaven can be returned. ’

In addition to telling stories in the Chongzheng Palace, Mu Zicai is also the editor of the National Academy of History and the reviewer of the Record Academy, which is to write a 'living note', recording who the official family sees and sleeps with every day.

Song Lizong's close chamberlain Dong Song Chen led Tang An'an, a famous prostitute, into the palace on the Yuan Xi Festival, and sang and danced for the official Song Lizong, and provided a very simple escort service. Mu Zicai himself went to the painting boat to enjoy the same service, and in the face of Song Lizong, he was more serious. Song Lizong himself had to personally order Mu Zi not to record this matter.

It's not a big deal, but it affects the mood a lot. Song Lizong originally wanted to meet Zhao Jiaren, but after catching up with this incident, he was in no mood at all, so he simply sent Zhao Jiaren away. Now the pavilion that Dong Songchen said is nothing, the problem is that there are already empathetic and charming sister papers waiting in the pavilion, Song Lizong thought about it for a while, so he asked Ding Daquan to go back, and he followed Dong Songchen in the direction of the pavilion.

A few more days passed, and it was much warmer. The business of the painting boat boomed. In the evening, several officials waited by the lake, and one of them said: "The official family sent Qin En, except for Zhao Jiaren, who was sentenced to prison on Fujian Road, but I didn't see him." I don't know what is famous in it. ”

"It's hard for the official family to take back their fate?" The other replied casually.

"Zhao Jiaren has gone to Fujian to take up his new position, how can he take it back?" The one who spoke first said angrily.

Apparently, no one else was interested in it. No matter how Zhao Jiaren is a prisoner on Fujian Road, he is also an outsider and a rogue official. Compared with the Jingguan in Lin'an, it is not a grade at all.

At this moment, they saw the painting boat in the distance already approaching. The eyes of the official, who had no interest in the appointment and dismissal of the Fujian Road Prison, lit up, and said to the leader of the group: "Brother Jieyuan, thank you for finding the way." ”

Brother Jieyuan laughed, "They are all brothers, so naturally they are blessed to share the blessings." ”

The top sign on the painting boat that came from a distance was Tang An'an. For the officials of Lin'an, it is very exciting to be able to play the same sister paper with the official family.
