Chapter 18: I Will Be a Good Corrupt Official

Are the Han Army Banner People Han or Banner People?

If you are a Han Chinese, why are you in the flag?

If you are a banner person, why do you want to be a Han now?

This is a paradoxical question.

The root of the contradiction came from the Qing court's inconsistent policy of unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

But Jia Liutong can't talk about the policy, and his father and sisters.

If you really want to put aside the financial difficulties faced by the Qing court and the "anti-Han" heart of the Manchurian high-level who will never relax, maybe a group of relatives will really think that he is a little ghost.

Moreover, some words are taboo.

Therefore, they can only let them think about what Lao Jia's family is based on facts.

Anyway, Jia Liu thinks that Lao Jia's family is not a thing.

"Of course our family is a flag person, this has been in the flag for a hundred years, Liuzi, you have a bad brain to ask this, what do you think all day long."

The second sister Jia Lan looked at her younger brother angrily, I don't know what kind of crazy thing this kid is smoking.

Also, even if the old lady is 10,000 bad, others can say that he is a second minister and a traitor, can you say that you are a great-grandson!

Jia Liu shook his head, walked up to the second sister Jia Lan, and said with a wry smile: "Second sister, if no one speaks for our Jia family, we will all give an order to the Yamen, will my father and I still be the banner people?" ”

"This..."

Jia Lan, who had already stood up, sat down again: Yes, if the flag can't be stopped, what kind of flag is still in her mother's family, isn't it Han!

"Sixth son, let's not talk about whether you can get out of the flag, but you must not also say that your great-grandfather is a traitor, this is too unusual....

You must know that the holy grandfather said that his great-grandfather was an official and carefully governed, prosperous for the people, and cultivated literature and virtue, and he was really a masterpiece of this dynasty. With the words of the Holy Grandfather, who dares to say that the great-grandfather is a second minister and a traitor! ”

Wang Zhian still cares a lot about whether his wife's great-grandfather is a traitor or not, if outsiders say it, it's not worth being angry, but his brother-in-law is also a traitor, and he is really a little angry.

A man may be defiled, but not himself.

In this regard, Jia Liu shook his head again, looked at his pedantic eldest brother-in-law and said, "Eldest brother-in-law, don't deceive yourself, our Jia family is Han!" The old lady was really a traitor back then! Otherwise, the emperor will be full and give the old lady the hat of a traitor and a second minister? ”

"Things were very complicated back then, and I won't be able to tell you for a while..."

Wang Zhian wanted to correct his wife's great-ancestor, but he couldn't refute it.

Sometimes, the truth may not be explained.

Jia Daquan and Gao Delu didn't squeak, and in the morning, they told the emperor why he wanted to repair the biography of the second minister, and both of them understood it somewhat.

To put it bluntly, the current emperor is to let the old lady of the Jia family set off the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty like Yue Fei like Qin Hui, so that people in the world can know that loyal monarchs are admired at any time.

So, the emperor set the sex, what did you say yesterday?

"Over the years, how many people have left one after another in the Eight Banners of our Han Army, and those who have come out of the flag have not all become Han people... I don't think it will be long before the entire Eight Banners of the Han Army will be sent by the imperial court to be Han Chinese. ”

Jia Liu spread his hands and looked at several close relatives.

This fact is not that you don't exist if you bury your head in the bed and pretend not to know.

The Jia family is Han, was, is, and will be even more so.

Jia Daquan finally couldn't sit still, glared at his son, and asked, "What do you kid want to do?" ”

"Dad, I want to be an official, a big official!"

Jia Liu's right fist smashed heavily in the air.

The action was completed in one go, never dragging mud and water, fully expressing his Jia Xiaoliuzi's ambition and ambition, and releasing a key message to his relatives - this goal will remain unchanged for a hundred years!

Jia Daquan was stunned for a moment, and said disapplausively: "What's so good about being an official?" Every day to the yamen on duty, no idle work, in the winter, you have to get up early, you don't feel comfortable doing anything, you have to be disciplined by the officials, the court is punished, you have to drink a flower wine to be impeached in the imperial history, how can you be free at home..."

These words made Jia Liu, who was a son, almost choked, and forced himself to scold his mother's mind and said emotionally: "Dad, don't you understand? Only when I become an official can I rehabilitate my son! In order to make people not scold our two masters for being traitors! ”

"What? Do you want to rehabilitate the grandfather? ”

Jia Daquan didn't expect that his son's dedication to becoming an official was to restore the old lady's reputation, and he instantly felt that his grandson was really in vain.

A good thing, a good thing!

No one in this world will not care about the reputation of the ancestors, if the old lady is not given to become a second minister, then Fu Chang'an will fall into the well and force his Jia family to go out of the flag?

Daquan, who was moved by his son's sincere filial piety, was also excited, but when he calmed down, he denied his son's filial piety.

"You have this heart, and your father is content, but this matter is given by the emperor, even if you become an official, you can't turn it over."

After speaking, Jia Daquan sighed, the emperor of heaven and earth is great, who can be bigger than the emperor in this world.

To the surprise of the father, the son had great confidence in overturning the case for the grandfather, but he heard him say: "Who said it can't be overturned?" As far as I know, many of the things that the first emperor set at the time are not overthrown today? ... I'm afraid that my father still has an impression of that "Righteous Mystery Record", right? ”

"The Mystery of Righteousness?"

Wang Zhi'an was suddenly excited when he heard the title of the book, stood up and said hurriedly: "This is a forbidden book, you can't mention it, you can't mention it." ”

The second sister, Jia Lan, asked her husband Gao Delu what kind of book it was.

Gao Delu didn't know the specifics, but he only heard that it was a book written by the first emperor at the time, and later it was promulgated in the world, requiring the court and local officials to have a book, and all local officials and scholars must explain the contents of the book to the people.

However, after the current emperor ascended the throne, the book was banned and was not allowed to be reprinted, let alone disseminated.

The son-in-law doesn't know, but the father-in-law must be clear.

Thinking that after the current emperor ascended the throne, he would indeed overthrow many policies of the previous emperor, Jia Daquan couldn't help but feel moved: Mo can't do it, can the old lady really overturn the case?

Immediately, he shook his head again, and said directly to his son: "This matter of our family is decided by the emperor, you can't turn it over!" ”

didn't want his son to hear what he said, so he blurted out without thinking about it: "Dad, if the current emperor doesn't turn it over, there won't be another emperor." ”

"You little bastard can't die!"

Jia Daquan raised his hand and was about to slap his son, but found that Wang Ba's thing flashed quickly.

Jia Liu, who was afraid of self-defeating, hurriedly explained: "Dad, I mean that the emperor will not repair anything for no reason, this matter is mostly a slander from someone to the emperor, so the son has to be an official, a big official, so that the son will have the opportunity to tell the emperor about our family and rehabilitate the old lady!" ... At worst, we have to remove our old lady from the biography of the second minister..."

These words made Jia Daquan's hand stretched out in mid-air slowly fall, as if he recognized his son for the first time, he looked at it very carefully, and then said in an uncertain tone: "You kid really think so?" ”

The two sisters and brother-in-law also looked at Jia Liu in surprise, they didn't expect this little sixth son to have such a mind.

"Yes, that's what I thought!"

In the suspicious eyes of his closest relatives, Jia Liu gave an extremely positive answer.

"I know you're suspicious of me, because I used to be really unsuccessful, I always knew how to cause trouble, I didn't know how to be motivated at all, I never cared about things at home, I was a bastard!

... But from today on, I want to change myself, I want to change my mind, I want to revitalize the lintel, I want to glorify my ancestors, I want to work hard, I want to be an official, I want to climb to the highest step by step, step by step, and be the biggest official! ”

"In short, I don't want people to say that I am a traitor! I don't want people to look down on me anymore, let alone let people bully me anymore! ”

With a sonorous and powerful voice, Jia Liu's eyes looked at his father Jia Daquan with great determination.

"Dad, you can help me buy an official! ... Do you think that your grandchildren are as unproductive as me, and the descendants of our Jia family should be ordinary people! ”

"Daddy!"

Jia Liuzhong knelt heavily in front of Jia Daquan, and the sound of "plopping" was really deafening, and it really made Jia Liu's heart pump.

This scene not only stunned my sister and brother-in-law, but also moved my father.

Looking at his son, who had never knelt for him in the past few years, Jia Daquan couldn't help but have red eyes, subconsciously reached out to clasp his son's hands, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Okay, good, you can have this ambition and filial piety, Dad is very happy, really happy... Your grandfather and grandfather need to know, I don't know what kind of joy it will become..."

"Did the father promise to buy an official for his son?"

"Uh..."

Half a day later, Jia Daquan said with difficulty: "Sixth son, I also feel aggrieved by my father about the old lady, but it costs a lot of silver to buy an official, and our family can more or less make up for it if we want to put it aside in the past, but now... Alas. ”

A penny is hard to beat a hero, and the Jia family's current economic situation is really not very good. So even if Jia Daquan sells his family's house and land, at most he can only buy a Bapin County Cheng for his son, or a candidate.

What can an alternate eighth-rank official do?

Can you talk to the emperor and restore the old lady's reputation?

No, I can't!

Therefore, Daquan was very moved, but he couldn't do it.

"Dad, don't worry, every copper plate you spend on your son today, your son will repay you a thousand times in the future!"

Jia Liu, who didn't know that his father was in trouble, struck while the iron was hot, and wanted to use his filial piety performance to force Jia Daquan, who was not successful, to take out the family property and make the greatest investment in history, otherwise this matter would probably be in vain.

"Repay me?"

Jia Daquan, who was touched by filial piety, touched the face of his kneeling son, with a kind face, "What do you repay me?" ”

"Take the silver,"

Jia Liu was full of confidence, "Dad, rest assured, my son knows how to hold silver." ”
