When Jia Mu saw that Mrs. Wang was interested, she said, "That's good...... In the end, you and the Xue family are considered a family, you have cleaned the pear fragrance courtyard in the northeast corner in the past few days, and then ask the Xue family to live. It was the resting place of the old Rong Gong in the past, and there were more than a dozen rooms in the big house alone, which was not considered to be a grievance to the Xue family. ”

Mrs. Wang said yes again, and in this regard, it can be regarded as a proper discussion of the Xue family's entry into Beijing.

Mother Jia took her thoughts, and when she saw that Wang Xifeng was still accompanying her, she asked, "What happened to Lian Er yesterday, I heard that he just returned to the house in a staggering manner." ”

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Back to the ancestor, I heard him say that he was busy with official business, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace wanted to worship the emperor and ask him to bring someone to accompany him." ”

Thinking that the crown prince in the court is really a noble person, talking about such characters at this moment makes Wang Xifeng feel quite honored.

Mrs. Wang said with a smile on the side: "The Shenji Camp also does this kind of thing, and this year the emperor will not travel, so it will be Lian Er's turn to go with the prince." ”

Mrs. Wang secretly belittled Jia Lian, and Wang Xifeng was not good at making a sound, so she just laughed and laughed.

Jia Mu sighed, and turned to Mrs. Wang: "By the way, since Jia Lian is going to worship His Majesty the former emperor, then our mansion should be more simple these days, so as not to end up in the mouth." You re-prepare a birthday gift for Concubine Nan'an, with fewer jeweled objects, and more porcelain bowls, calligraphy and painting antiques into it. ”

Mrs. Wang said, "It should be done at this time." ”

……

The time came to the end of April, and the Qianqing Palace was in the morning.

Emperor Yonglong issued an edict to give the prince the golden seal of the East Palace, and went south at sunrise to worship the emperor.

I heard that the Holy Body of the Emperor is not safe, and the emperor is entangled in state affairs, so it is good to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fulfill his filial piety.

Emperor Yonglong gave birth to eleven heirs, except for the young ten princes and eleven princes, and the three princes, five princes and six princes who were already on duty in the imperial court, the rest were found in the East Palace on the same day. They want to go with the prince to worship the emperor, and also do their filial piety.

The next day, the prince went out of Beijing, and there were a lot of entourage, but it was still very insufficient compared to the people of Emperor Yonglong last year to worship the emperor.

In addition to the East Palace people and the five princes brought by the prince, there are more than 300 people in the imperial city Yulinwei, 100 honor guards, and 15 people in two classes of dragon forbidden lieutenants. In addition, there are dozens of officials of the Ministry of Rites in the imperial court, dozens of officials of the Ministry of Works, dozens of officials of the Zhan Shifu, dozens of officials of the Zongzheng Mansion, and dozens of officials of the Hanlin Academy, and then there are 2,567 people in place in the three divisions of the left sentry battalion of the Shenji Battalion, and the total number of troops is nearly 5,000 people.

As for the number of servant servants carried in the procession, they are not measurable and are not counted.

Emperor Gaozu, the founding emperor of this dynasty, started in Jiangbei, first leveled the south of the Yangtze River, then swept Hebei, stepped on Liaodong, pointed to the Western Regions, and fought the territory of all dynasties to the current royal family. Now this dynasty has jurisdiction over thousands of miles, mortals can not cover it in their lifetime, the whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's minister, the real heavenly kingdom.

After the capital of this dynasty was set in Kyoto, and Gaozu collapsed, buried in the emperor's mausoleum outside Kyoto, facing Jiangbei, and the soul returned to his hometown. His Majesty the Emperor was the son of Gaozu, and he was also buried in the Emperor's Mausoleum after the collapse of the mountain.

In early May, the prince arrived outside the imperial mausoleum and ordered the Shenji battalion to take over the imperial mausoleum.

Before the governor Feng Tang arrived, the assistant leader of the left sentry battalion was ordered to raise the account and asked the following three divisions to gather to discuss the garrison together. The three divisions each have their own tasks, and Jia Lian's division was finally arranged in the imperial mausoleum and stationed together with the original imperial mausoleum guards.

Seeing that the assistant leader of the left sentry battalion waved his big hand and issued this garrison task, Jia Lian had no choice but to receive the order.

The Zhao brothers were waiting outside the main account, and when they saw Jia Lian coming out with a depressed face, they stepped forward to ask the reason carefully.

Jia Lian said: "In vain, I waited for many roads to arrive at the imperial tomb, and I didn't want to come to the end but received the drudgery of garrisoning in the imperial tomb." ”

Zhao Tiandong heard this, but said with a smile on the side: "Why does the second master think so?" I've heard it all these days, but in previous years, only people from the middle camp could be stationed in the imperial tomb, which had a lot of benefits. After being stationed, not only can you show your face in front of the nobles above, but you will also get a lot of silver after returning to Beijing. ”

Jia Lian couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Brother Wu Yong told me about this a few days ago, in previous years, when the emperor traveled, it was naturally a good thing to be stationed in the emperor's mausoleum. But this year, only the prince traveled, and the majesty was insufficient, and the good and bad in our left sentry camp were uneven, and most of them were temporarily recruited military families. When he entered the emperor's mausoleum, there were people below who had unclean hands and feet who stole the tribute and ripped off the golden branches, so that people could find that they had to bring disaster to the chief official. ”

In addition to the two emperors in the imperial tomb, there are also the tombs of the queen and the concubine, where can there be everything. Jia Lian is very unfortunate to be the chief official of the capital department who is easy to be troubled.

On the way back, Zhao Tianliang on the side rolled his eyes, came up with a trick for this matter, and hurriedly said to Jia Lian: "Since the second master has received this task, it is better to tell the Qiu Ba people below about the matter first, and tell them that stealing the tribute is to ask the guilty family for the capital crime." And sprinkle some more money out, and let the people below take care of it. ”

The soldiers at the bottom are used to being poor, but as long as they have the money in their hands, who can still commit the great rebellion of stealing tribute.

Jia Lian patted his head when he heard this, looked at Zhao Tianliang and said, "This method is good, you are a fine person!" ”

Although Zhao Tianliang was complacent, he didn't dare to let go of his wanderings, and even weighed it a fluke.

When he returned to the division to rectify the personnel, Jia Lian hurriedly summoned his subordinate officers to come over and speak.

In the first division, there is not only Jia Lian as the chief officer, but also the battalion commander, the thousand commander, the commander, the tun chief, and the chief of the division. Jia Lian told the whole story of the garrison of the emperor's mausoleum, and all the officers knew the stakes and were busy responding, saying that they would take good care of their subordinates.

Only the commander of the first battalion asked Jia Lian: "The chief wants to send money to tell the soldiers to take care of themselves, and this is spread to the imperial court, and I am afraid that there will be a charge of bribing the soldiers." ”

Jia Lian replied: "I don't panic, it's better than letting the innocent suffer from the crime of stealing tribute, otherwise the whole department will have to ask someone to be sent out." ”

The battalion commander was greatly moved, and said to his colleagues on the left and right: "The chief is helping me to take the blame in advance, and in this case, I am willing to give a hundred taels of silver to help the commander." ”

After speaking, he said to Jia Lian again: "Sir, don't blame, I only brought this silver with me when I came out to gather the Communist Party this time." ”

Jia Lian didn't have much silver with him, but he was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted to the battalion boss: "You are a cool person, what is your name!" ”

The battalion commander was asking his soldiers to go to the account to get the money, but he was caught off guard when he heard Jia Lian's words, and his face was suffocated into pig liver.

"There are only two battalion commanders under the commander's account...... My name is Huang Xin..."

For a while, the officers of the full battalion didn't know whether to scold or laugh, because of Huang Xin's actions, they couldn't watch it, and they inevitably had to take out some silver. And Huang Xin helped Jia Dusi do so much, and the latter never wrote down his name.

Jia Lian didn't care, and laughed: "Brother Huang Xin, don't blame, I remember, after returning to Beijing, I invite you to eat wine and make amends." ”

Huang Xin didn't want to speak anymore, so he sat back angrily.

The matter of stationing was properly discussed, and Jia Lian sent more than 800 taels of silver down, counting one tael per person, because the cash was still insufficient for a while, it was inevitable to make a few IOUs. He also said that after the garrison was completed, there would be some money to come down, and anyway, he should tell the soldiers not to stretch out their hands.
