Chapter 186: Take sides
I don't know if it's the butterfly effect!
In the original work of the Red Mansion, Yuan Chun, who was supposed to be in the palace for a long time on the birthday of the second master of politics this year, was named the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace and the virtuous concubine.
That year, Lin Daiyu was thirteen years old, buried Lin Ruhai, who died in office, and followed Lian Er back to Beijing.
Jia Cong is nine months younger than Lin Daiyu, he is also thirteen years old this year, and Lin Daiyu has already turned thirteen during the flowering festival.
But when the second master of politics celebrated his birthday, there was no news of the reward coming from the palace, and I don't know what happened?
faintly feels that it may have a lot to do with his own toss and the second body of the chain living in Shuntianfucheng.
The Rongguo Mansion in the original work has already shown a relatively obvious decline at this time, and the Ning Mansion has also been pushed hard by the Xungui Group, and has become an object that cannot be let go today, and it is not an exaggeration to say that disaster fell from the sky.
That is, Yuan Chun suddenly became a concubine, so that the Rongguo Mansion and the Jia family in the capital, which had been in obvious decline, quickly turned over, and there was the trend of flowers and flames.
I don't know, is it because of the decay of Ning Rong's second mansion that Yuan Chun suddenly became a concubine?
Right now, Ning Guofu won't talk about it, Jia Zhen's big scourge can't be tossed, it has been very quiet over there recently, but there is a lot less noisy noise.
The situation on the side of Rongguo Mansion is much stronger than the original book.
is the second master of the government, all mixed into the fifth grade of Honglu Temple Shaoqing, chain two is the fourth grade of Shuntianfu Cheng, speaking of which is not bad in the capital realm, at least it can be regarded as medium strength.
In addition, Qin Keqing, who is suspected of being a waste prince, that is, Qin Keqing, who is not the sister of the current king of Yizhong County, is not dead, and there is no collective muscular behavior of the entire capital Xungui Group, and Ning Rong's second mansion is naturally not a thorn in the eye today.
What is the saying?
If you want to destroy it, you will make it mad!
There is no urgent intention to target the Xungui Group, which obviously affects the development of Yuanchun.
Every time he thinks of this, Jia Cong has a strange feeling that he has cheated people, of course he doesn't take it to heart.
It doesn't matter if Yuan Chun is not named a virtuous concubine, at least the current big house is enough to compete with the second room, and it will no longer be blindly suppressed, in fact, it is a good thing for the entire Rongguo Mansion.
Chain Er's mind is on the officialdom, Mrs. Xing is focused on the outside business, Feng Lazi slowly usurped the authority in the house, the old lady watched coldly, Mrs. Wang was anxious, and a wonderful balance was formed, and there was a lot less infighting in the house.
Not to mention it, Jia Cong felt that there was less and less involvement from the house.
This time, the trend caused by "The Best Farm", if it had been placed in the past, would have caused a fight in the mansion long ago, and the old lady and the second wife would definitely seize the dominance.
Even if it ends in failure, Jia Cong can't think of it as easy as he can, and he can still have close interests with a group of middle-level and low-level noble families in the capital.
Especially the connection with the noble family in the capital has always been firmly controlled by the old lady, and Mrs. Wang is also eyeing her, and will definitely not allow the big house to have the opportunity to become the leader, but at the moment, the Huangzhuang side has not done anything to hide, and the house is still calm.
This situation is really good, and he naturally hopes to keep it up.
It's just a pity that farm management is a long-term process, especially the mature development of land in the capital, and it is not simple to develop three-dimensional ecological agriculture, which requires a lot of time and energy, and there are not many results in a short period of time.
As a result, except for the dilapidated noble family, which urgently needs to change the current poor financial situation and has no way out, the rest of the people have to consider the costs and risks even if they have any ideas in their hearts, and plan to wait and see for a year or two.
The promotion of the main home of the capital is so slow, not to mention that there are more suitable southern regions in the northern land, Jia Cong wants to reach the point of 'becoming famous all over the world' with the help of ecological farm construction, I am afraid it will take a long time.
Fortunately, Jia Cong is not in a hurry, and it is the same to slowly gain popularity, and he will not lose.
reached an agreement with the dilapidated Xungui family in the middle and lower levels of the capital who couldn't wait, sent out his trained younger brothers, and sent these broken Xungui families to settle their children in the Huangzhuang management office, and Jia Cong temporarily let go and prepared for the New Year.
He will write more in the future, and he is not worried about the slow growth of popularity at all.
I just didn't want to, just two days after returning to the mansion to rest, I received a rather unexpected news that Chengchengbo, who had a lot of real power in the imperial court, passed away.
This is not the key, the key is that the Beijing Xungui Group is ready to make a big one!
"Who gave the news to Second Brother Lian?"
It was Chain Er who revealed the news to Jia Cong, and he couldn't figure out the thoughts of those noble bosses, so he took advantage of his free time to find Jia Cong directly, and while telling the news, he hoped to get a little hint.
"The second master of the Zhenguo family, who revealed it in private, said that the nobles of the capital will express it!"
Jia Cong was a little funny, but he didn't expect Qin Keqing to hang up, and the noble boss found another reason to give today's eye medicine.
Seeing that Lian Er's face was full of anticipation, he said with a smile: "This is the collective action of the Jingcheng Xungui Group, I'm afraid it is done for today!" ”
"It's not that exaggerated!"
Chain Er was startled, his face turned white, and he said a little incredulously: "I haven't seen the recent turmoil in the court, what are you doing with this for no reason?" ”
"Nowadays, too much attention is paid to the officials who came up from the imperial examination!"
Jia Cong could see it clearly, he deduced the results backwards, plus the recent Di Bao and the information that the General's Mansion could collect, as well as the information he had gotten, otherwise he could see some problems.
It is normal for the civilian clique to rise its head over the long period of peace, but the clique of civilians is spreading too fast and constantly encroaching on the basic territory that originally belonged to the military meritorious clique, so it is unbearable.
With the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs completely falling into the hands of the civilian clique, I heard that all kinds of ordnance and materials of the local garrisons and even the border troops, as well as the supply of money, have been reduced to varying degrees, and the interests here have become greater.
Even, not long ago, it was said in the newspaper that he wanted to arrange a civilian official to enter the military department as a squire, which caused an extremely fierce debate in the court, and finally the emperor made a move to stop such a decision.
Today's behavior touches the core interests of the Xungui group, although it is impossible to directly rebel, and it is nothing to show a muscle.
He briefly recounted the Tao in it, and Chain Er's face turned even paler, obviously frightened.
"Such a thing, once it is involved, will offend today!"
"If you don't get involved, you're going to break with the Xungui Group, isn't the law responsible, even if you're unhappy today, you'll only pinch soft persimmons, what is the second brother of the chain afraid of?"
"The stakes are very high, I have to make it clear to the old lady and the two masters!"
"It's good!"
So, on a cold and windy day in Layue, Rongqingtang held a rare more formal meeting, and the members of the meeting included the old lady, the eldest master, the second political master, the second chain and Jia Cong.
In other words, Jia Cong was not qualified to participate in such high-level meetings in the government, but the second chain strongly recommended it, saying that the third brother is not only a talent, but also wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Richest Man in the World" and other quite strategic, at least he is not ignorant of politics, and it is necessary to participate in it to help the staff and staff.
The eldest lord naturally supports it, and the second master of politics has always valued and has no objection to meritorious scholars, so the old lady doesn't care.
Originally, Jia Zhen, as the patriarch, should have attended, but it was a pity......
Jia Rong, who temporarily took over the Ning State Mansion, has average ability, and her seniority is too young, so she has no right to speak at all, and it is not interesting to shout.
Outside, the cold wind covered the roof, and there were signs of impending snow.
The charcoal fire in the house is vigorous and warm like spring, but the atmosphere is a little dignified, which is quite in line with the weather outside the house.
Chain Er first relayed the words of the second master of the Zhenguo Mansion, and then said Jia Cong's previous analysis, and finally said: "That's the way it is, no matter which side it falls to, the mansion has to take a certain risk!" ”
"How can this be, we naturally have to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!"
The second master of Zheng's face turned pale, and he opened his mouth with his head, but what he said made everyone frown in unison.
"Second brother, are you crazy, if you completely fall to the present, will the Xungui Group still have a seat in our Rongguo Mansion in the future?"
The eldest man sneered and said: "Anyway, the first bird is not us, what's the big deal with following the boat?" ”
"Chain, what do you think?"
The old lady was noncommittal, and did not express her opinion, but directly asked the second chain of thoughts, and sure enough, she was old and strong.
Chain Er didn't rush to speak, but subconsciously looked at Jia Cong.
"Brother Cong'er......"
The old lady frowned, and said directly: "If you have any ideas, say them directly, even if you say it wrong, it doesn't matter!" ”
It's strange to believe you!
"Let's just follow the flag, the most important thing is to get tangible benefits!"
Jia Cong was not polite, and said directly: "For example, when the second brother of the promised chain has the opportunity to go further, he will help push it!" ”
Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, and sure enough, he saw that Lian Er's face was full of joy, while the second master of Zheng Er was unwilling and jealous.
At this time, he said slowly: "There is also the second master who has gone further, and he can easily push it up if he becomes a Honglu Temple!" ”
"Really?"
The second master of Zheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said urgently: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?" ”
I wanted to go further through the relationship between my second uncle Wang Ziteng, but unfortunately this guy didn't give an accurate answer, and finally annoyed him, and simply gave Mrs. Wang a faceless.
If it can be recommended by Zhen Guogong, it will not be a problem to further become a Honglu Temple, but as for the little risk that may be borne for this, it is nothing.
Didn't Brother Cong say that the law doesn't blame the public!
"What does Brother Cong mean, let's Rongguo Mansion and Xungui together?"
Only then did the old lady say leisurely: "Isn't it a bit risky?" ”
Jia Cong said categorically: "Old lady, our root is Xungui, is it possible for the civil official group to accept Rongguo Mansion?" ”
