Chapter 405: The Jia Family's Inflated Heart
Major personnel adjustments were made in the court one after another, Gong Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took over as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Wen, the head of the household department, was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Wei Zhan, the head of the Ministry of Rites, was released as the governor of Jiangxi Province, and Yu Shiying, who was the main cadre of the Du Department and the most promising to be promoted to the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, was also released as the governor of Lingnan. This series of personnel changes is dizzying, and there are many discussions in the power circles in the capital.
According to well-informed sources, the first three major personnel appointments and dismissals were all arbitrary and arbitrary actions of the loyal Guogong Han Fei, and even Du Yun did not know about it in advance. The power circle finally saw a fact, who is the real boss, the person who can dictate the dynasty, is not Du Yun, but Han Fei, and Han Fei seems to be deliberately suppressing the influence of the Du family.
As a result, all forces rushed to Hanfu to worship the pier, and Han Fei also changed his previous policy of ignoring it and opened the door to welcome guests. Of course, those who can enter the Han Mansion, and even those who are received by Han Fei, have been screened layer by layer. Han Fei specially hired two first-ranking sons to serve as Han government staff.
What attracts people's attention is the four important personnel changes, in fact, Han Fei still has a lot of personnel layout, Jia Yucun is in charge of the Commercial Bureau is a part, and the adjustment of the positions of many fellow scholars is to lay the groundwork for greater actions in the future.
The Jia family has been a little busy lately, and it can be called a good city.
Now the top powerful family in Dahua, in addition to the royal family, is undoubtedly the Jia family. The Empress Dowager Jia Yuanchun of the West Palace is the daughter of the Jia family, the current emperor Zhang Yuanlang is the grandson of the Jia family, and Han Fei, the loyal prince who holds the power of the court, is a side branch of the Jia family.
In the past, if Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang wanted to enter the palace to visit their daughter and grandson, they had to apply in advance, and after getting approval, they could wear formal dresses before entering the palace. Now Mrs. Wang enters the palace almost twice in three days, and her dress is much more casual, and sometimes she rests in the palace when she plays late in the palace.
The most powerful in the court are naturally the four auxiliary ministers, Wang Ziteng's influence is mainly in the military circles, Jiang Feng's family is not very powerful, and Han Fei and Du Yun are both influential in the military and politics. The Du family has a fixed circle of friends, and ordinary people can't make friends, and the Han family has always been respectful of people who cling to it, and it is not something that ordinary people can make friends with. However, the Han and Jia families are one, and the main figures of the Jia family are all Han Fei's elders, so they naturally have influence on the Han family, and the Jia family has become the object of people's scrambling.
Jia Zheng has been promoted to the head of the Ministry of Works, and concurrently serves as the supervisor of the Ordnance Supervisor, and is usually busy with official business, but he does not have much time for entertainment. But the rest of the Jia family is very idle, Jia Yu, who was amnestied, the patriarch An Ninghou Jia Zhen, as well as Jia Lian, Jia Huan, Jia Rong and others, have no official positions, and have become the objects of outsiders, and in the midst of money and flattery, their minds have gradually expanded.
"Zhongguo Gong, look at this!" Gong Jing, the secretary of the ministry, rushed to Han's mansion overnight and gave Han Fei several pieces of paper.
Han Fei looked through it and saw that there were all the names of some people on it, there were dozens of them in total, and each person's name was marked with an official position, basically a minor official below the seventh grade. With his current identity, it is impossible to know these little people, but he doesn't understand how Gong Jing brought these lists, "Lord Gong, there is a problem with these officials?" ”
Gong Jing glanced at Han Fei, not sure if he knew, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, some of these people are officials-designate, and some have no official status. ”
Han Fei understood that there was a problem with the list, and asked with a solemn face: "Lord Gong, tell me what is going on with this list?" ”
"Grandpa, this is taken by Jia Yu, the eldest lord of Jiafu, saying that he has informed his grandfather, and asked the lower officials to fill the vacancies according to the official positions listed, and the lower officials have some suspicions, so they have come to ask for one or two!"
"Daring!" Han Fei was furious, slapped the table, and said: "Lord Gong, in the future, no matter who in Jia Mansion hands over the note, it will not be done, and the imperial court has its own strict laws for appointing officials, how can anyone intervene?" This matter is not trivial, the Ministry of Officials strictly investigates the officials appointed in the past to see if there is a similar situation, once it is verified, it must be dealt with seriously! ”
Han Fei was really helpless about the pig teammate of the Jia family, after all, he was a father, and he couldn't say anything if he didn't take care of them, and if he took care of them, he swelled so much that he didn't know how many catties and taels he had. This incident is of a very serious nature, and if it is left unchecked, I am afraid that the next time we will have to interfere in the appointment and dismissal of the ministers of the DPRK and China.
He thought about it, immediately summoned Ling'er, and said, "You go to find out how this list came about, and what other outrageous things has the Jia family done recently?" ”
The Jia family has been acting very flamboyant recently, and Ling'er quickly found out the ins and outs.
"Grandpa, that list is Jia Yu, the eldest lord of Jiafu, Jia Zhen, the marquis of Anning, Young Master Jia Lian, and Young Master Jia Huan, the four of them accepted bribes and allowed official positions to others, among which Young Master Jia Huan received the most bribes because he was the uncle of the country and your younger brother...... Young Master Jia Huan overwhelmed people, bought a grange and a few shops at a low price, and robbed a folk girl as a concubine......"
"How can it be!" Han Fei was furious, grabbed a glass paperweight in his hand, slammed it on the ground, and shouted: "This is going to die!" ”
The ninth princess, Zhang Wanyi, happened to pass by the study, and when she heard that the movement inside was wrong, she hurriedly walked in and asked, "Husband, why is there such a big fire?" ”
Han Fei didn't say a word, and walked out of the study quickly with a calm face.
The ninth princess Zhang Wanyi was stunned and asked Ling'er: "Sister Ling'er, husband, ...... is this?"
Ling'er sighed, briefly said the information obtained from the investigation, and said: "Princess, grandpa may be going to Jiafu, and the slave maid will follow him to have a look!" ”
Jia Yu sent the list to Gongfu, it had been almost two days, there was no movement at all, there was some drumming in his heart, and he hurriedly called Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, and Jia Huan together to discuss. "Why do you say that the officials have not moved, could it be that Gong Jing's old man is not emotional?"
"Probably not, right?" An Ning Hou Jia Zhen pondered for a moment and said: "Gong Jing's official department is promoted by non-brothers, there is no reason not to go to our Jia family!" ”
Jia Huan said: "What the patriarch said, not to mention that Gong Jing was promoted by the second brother, with the status of our Jia family, which official in the court dares not to give three points of affection?" ”
Jia Lian said hesitantly: "That being said, I'm afraid that Gong Jing will report to the non-brothers, who have always forbade us to accept bribes!" ”
Jia Huan hurriedly said: "Second brother Lian is too worried, what kind of status is the second brother, how can the officials make up for these small official positions that are not in the stream, how can they alarm him?" Even if it is known, at most he will be scolded, and he will still be able to kill us? After all, the Jia family is a relative of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and he will definitely not make a big fuss and affect the reputation of the Queen Mother and the Emperor! ”
At this time, the subordinate reported that the Duke of Zhongguo had entered the mansion, and the four of them were startled and hurriedly greeted them.
