"Brother Liu, are you here too?"

When Dong He, the deputy envoy of the General Political Envoy Department, handed over the gift money and went to the courtyard where the banquet was under the guidance of the reception staff, he saw at a glance Liu Quanzhi, who was a jinshi in the same year and was now the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

There are seven tables in this courtyard, and the list posted at the door indicates that it is for the guests of Taichang Temple, Tongzheng Envoy and Dali Temple.

The three yamen belong to the cold yamen in the major yamen in Beijing, which is a unit with little fertilizer and water on the outside.

Many of the officials who served were from the second-class jinshi, and like the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they belonged to the units where Qingliu was relatively concentrated.

Among the three institutions, Dali Temple is more professional, because this yamen is in charge of the trial of criminal prisons, and is called the "Three Law Divisions" together with the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The criminal department is in charge of arresting and sentencing, and the Dali Temple is in charge of sentencing, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is supervising from it, so as to avoid unjust, false and wrongful convictions.

In case of major cases, the triage of the three legal divisions will be initiated.

Generally, the triage of the three legal divisions must involve major matters, such as rebellion, fraud in the imperial examination, or the level of supervision.

Since the income of the officials of the three yamen was generally not high, and their lives in Beijing were mainly dependent on the maintenance of incorruptible silver, the officials of these units received relatively little money, and basically came to the market, at most doubling according to their mutual affection.

Liu Quanzhi got up and invited Dong He to sit next to him, and said casually: "Lord Jia Jia has a happy event, can I, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, come?" If someone else doesn't come and instruct me to have a copy of ginseng, then our little four-grade official won't be able to eat and go around. ”

There is a bit of yin and yang between the words.

"I won't drink wine, I have to go back to the yamen after eating, there are too many official newspapers in Beijing these days, and I am busy to death, how can I still have leisure to drink."

Dong He sat down while speaking, picked up the brewed tea bowl on the table and took a sip, and immediately took a sip: "What is it, he is the governor of the government, so he invites the guests to drink this foam?" ”

"Forget it, it's good to drink some... Just past the mouth of the alley, did you see the minister of the Governor of Zhili? The head of the dignified frontier didn't want to be embarrassed at all, but he looked at the guests giving gifts, what a thing. ”

Liu Quan is angry, although he is only a fourth-grade official, but he has also been an inspector in Anhui, and the scholars of Anhui, including the governor and the government, are not polite when they see him, but because he gave 80 taels of gifts, the governor of Najia didn't even dare to look at him, which is really very angry.

In terms of origin, although the surname Jia is a banner person, he is just a Han army.

In terms of qualifications, what kind of spirit does a Bai Tang'a have?

In good conscience, this kind of person, if it weren't for the blind cat that bumped into a dead mouse and got the merit of Kuangfu Sheji, he was also worthy of being a feudal territory?

Since ancient times, the martial artist has been domineering, and there is no one in his eyes, which is really good.

Let's see him rise up, and see when he collapses.

Liu Quanzhi's words resonated with Wu Xiongguang, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple who was sitting at the same table on the side.

"Jia Shikai suddenly ascended to a high position at a young age, and he has no background, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself, so he accepts gifts for his brother by holding a full moon wine, and forcibly sends invitations to officials above the fourth grade in Beijing, so he really doesn't want to be embarrassed at all... This kind of person is destined to be glorious for a while, but he can't be glorious for a lifetime. ”

After Wu Xiongguang finished speaking, he didn't like it at all and took a sip of the tea that the peddler's pawn had drunk.

After receiving the invitation from Jiafu, Wu Ben did not want to come, but the official Xiling Afei wanted all the officials above the fourth grade of Dali Temple to go to Jiafu, so he had to come with his colleagues.

When the gift money was handed over at the door, the cousin Xi Ling'a offered 3,000 taels, the most of his colleagues were 1,500 taels, and the few were also 60 taels, but he only paid five taels despite the persuasion of his colleagues.

This is by far the smallest amount of money given by an official.

Seriously break the rules of the road.

According to the unclear regulations in the past, the minimum gift for officials to and from the Minister of Military Aircraft is 400 taels, the minimum of 100 taels for the six Shangshu and Shilang, the minimum for the imperial history is 50 taels, and the minimum for the military aircraft Zhangjing is 16 taels.

The military aircraft Zhang Jing is generally a four-grade, and the corresponding four-grade official salute is at least 16 taels.

The host of the guest looked at the gift office again, or the forehead of the hat Wang family, the feudal territory of the Qing Dynasty, even if you really have no money as an official, the minimum must start at 50 taels, right?

But you Wu Xiongguang only pack five taels, what do you mean?

It is clear that you don't take Lord Jia Jia in your eyes!

Don't be motivated.

It's just that for some reason, Lord Jia Jia didn't get angry when he heard about this, but just said oh, and then asked people to take the vice president of Dali Temple, who was only willing to pay five taels, to the banquet.

"You'd better say a few fewer words, in case the wall has ears."

Dong He kindly reminded those present not to complain, as far as he knew, Jia Jia Shikai had a close relationship with Fu Zhongtang, Prince An and others, and had acted as the Admiral of Jiumen for a period of time, and there were many minions in Beijing, and there were also many cronies and sycophants, so if someone heard about it and reached the ears of the rookie in the court, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

"There are no outsiders here, what are you afraid of?"

Liu Quan said so, but he didn't dare to slander the owner of the banquet again.

Many officials came to sit down one after another, but after sitting down, without exception, they all exchanged ears and whispered to each other, and from time to time some people sneered or snorted and whispered a few complaints.

Obviously, this full moon banquet of the governor of Zhili made many officials unaccustomed to it and dissatisfied.

After the complaints, the discussion gradually turned to the upcoming National Assembly.

There is also a well-informed person who said that the Ministry of Rites has just issued an excerpt asking for a revision of the nomination method, saying that all the children of the clan who have made meritorious contributions to the Qing Dynasty can be nominated.

The Military Aircraft Service has passed and is in the process of requesting nominations from those who have the right to nominate the clan in accordance with the previously proposed method.

In this way, there will be a lot more clans that can't keep competing for the hat king this time, and who can be nominated and who can get more votes has become the focus of all parties.

I think I know that this National Assembly will be very lively.

However, this has nothing to do with most officials, who have no right to nominate or vote, and can only watch the excitement from the sidelines.

Many officials privately said that the National Assembly held by the Military Aircraft Department was simply a child's play, making the hat king of the Qing Dynasty like a child's play.

Officials who know a little bit about the details know that if the National Assembly is successfully convened and concluded, I am afraid that the emperor's authority will be completely swept away, and only the rich Zhongtang in and outside Beijing will be known, but there will be no Qianlong Ye.

“......”

Outside officials were speculating and discussing with each other, complaining constantly.

In a small dark room, the president of the Jingshi branch of the Communist Advancement Association and the secretary of the Qing Dynasty Officials Department, Asiha, handed over the pen again and persuaded Ji Yun, the dumbfounded soldier of the military department: "Master Ji, you have been thinking about it for half an hour, if you don't write again, I'm afraid you won't even have the opportunity to write." ”

Patiently waited and waited, but I still didn't see Ji Yun pick up the pen to write a persuasion book, so I couldn't help but lose my patience, and snorted slightly: "Ji Xiaolan, don't toast or eat and drink!" It's rare that you take a fancy to you as a talent, and you want to support you, if you really don't know what to do, then don't blame the old man for not talking about colleagues! ”

After that, he ordered someone to hand a glass of wine in front of Ji Yun.

No need to ask, this glass of wine must be poisonous.

Ji Yunzhen drank it, and a generation of Wenzong fell.

Looking at the polished pen and ink in front of him, looking at the cup of poisonous wine with a strange color, Ji Yun was really dumb and ate yellow lotus, and he couldn't say anything about his bitterness.

Yes, he really wants to win the favor of the governor of Zhili by touting Jia Jia Shikai, but it doesn't mean that he Ji Yun betrayed the emperor and the Qing Dynasty, and became a lackey of Jia Jia Shikai, a chaotic minister and thief!

No one could have imagined that the head of the Qing Dynasty's feudal territory would have the ambition of a wolf to seize the throne, let alone that the official secretary of the Qing Dynasty would also be an eagle and a dog for him!

If he had known that this son was a tiger and wolf, he would definitely not have written the shitty Jia Gonghan biography of the Pingding Sect and the bullshit Jia Gonghan.

"It seems that Master Ji really doesn't want to progress."

Asiha sneered, raised his hand, and immediately a person stepped forward to open the "Hundred Official Records", and read softly: "Ji Yun's eldest son, Ji Ruji, was born in Tai'an Zhixian County, and the second son Ji Ruchuan is now Jiangning Tongzhi, the three-character Ji Ru seems to be ten years old this year, his eldest brother Ji Yan, from his brother Ji Zhao, his wife Ma Yuefang, concubine Wenluan, Guo Caifu, Shen Mingxuan, the Ji family is full of one hundred and seventeen people, and now there are concubines Shen Mingxuan and others in Beijing, and the main wife and others are all buying houses near the Old Summer Palace outside Beijing..."

Before he finished reading, Ji Yun was already sweating, and looked at Asiha with some horror: "Abetang, it's not a disaster for your family." ”

"Trouble to my family?"

Asiha shook his head, "According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, you Ji Yun secretly contributed money to fund the anti-Qing thieves, which is called rebellion, and the three clans should be punished." Today, I only destroyed your door, and it was already a net open to you. ”

Hearing this, Ji Yun was shocked and said angrily: "Asiha, you are an incompetent person, if it weren't for the emperor's love, how could you have today's high-ranking official status!" ”

Ashi Ha immediately corrected: "Ji Xiaolan, I can have the credit of carrying the forehead today, what does it have to do with the emperor?" ”

This is the truth, if it weren't for the forehead to protect him, as early as the palace chaos, he Asha would have been punished as Qianlong's rebel party, how could there be today's Abetang.

"Come on, feed Master Ji wine!"

Asiha didn't bother to talk nonsense with Ji Yun anymore, and waved his hand to order Ji Yun to be executed directly.

He made it clear that whoever didn't go with him would let whoever followed the emperor.

The poisonous wine came to his mouth, thinking of the old and young family, thinking of the concubine of Mingxuan, and thinking of all the beauty of the world, Ji Yun, who was not a hard bone, finally came to his senses, sighed sadly, and wrote down the book of persuasion to enter the forehead.

After writing, it is like unloading a thousand burdens.

The door was also opened at the right time, and a bright light shone on Jia Liu's body who entered, as if he was wrapped in green energy.

Glancing at the persuasion book written on the table, Jia Liu nodded slightly, looked at Ji Da Cigarette Bag with satisfaction, and was just about to open his mouth to encourage him, when he saw Ji Da Cigarette Bag sleeve "horn" flicked, stepped forward and bowed his knees: "Minister Ji Yun knocks to see Your Majesty!" ”

Huh?!

"Hey, it's early, it's early!"

Jia Liu was so excited that he stepped forward to help Ji Xiaogang, and said with joy: "The feng shui of the Great Qing Dynasty has been broken, and now the country is troubled, it is the time for heroes such as me to come forward and rebuild China, Mr. must not have any pressure in his heart, and do not have any ideas, just do things seriously, and then it will be a matter of course." ”

"Minister..."

Rao is no matter how thick-skinned Ji Xiaolan is, he doesn't know what to say at this time.

"It's okay, it's nothing, old man, you accompany Master Ji to have two drinks and tell him about our club... Tell him about the rules of the Communal Association, and introduce some of his colleagues to him..."

Jia Liuzheng said with a smile, Ding Qing rushed to report that three clan yellow ribbons had come, and all three of them gave gifts of 20,000 taels, and hoped to meet with Lord Jia Jia.

"Lao Ji, I have business here, you can be casual with Lao A, don't be restrained, just let me be your family here."

Jia Liu, who was in a good mood, hurried to pick up the guests, and knew with his ass that the three yellow belts must have rushed to send him money.

"Go get busy, I'm here."

Lao A smiled and drank the poisonous wine on the table, and enthusiastically pulled the stunned Ji Yun to the banquet.
