Chapter 309: The Wind Rises
The Ministry of Internal Affairs said that the Taichang Temple was cleverly set up in the name, and he just opened his mouth to ask for silver.
It is not uncommon for the two yamen to have such disputes.
However, the Queen Mother's new funeral, Jia Lian just presided over the state funeral of the Emperor Taishang the year before last, and she is familiar with the doorway.
After a while, Jia Lian came out of a room in the Internal Affairs Office and swaggered out.
The more this official is in charge, the clearer it becomes, and the Yamen of the Internal Affairs Office and Taichang Temple, which are connected to the royal family, are not much different from the foreign affairs stewards of Jiafu.
It seems that there is nothing to compare between a heavenly and an underground, and there is nothing to compare between the court officials and the private servants, but in fact, the essence of doing things is very different.
"Lian Er—"
Passing by a windowsill, Jia Lian suddenly heard a shout.
When I turned around, I saw Zhongjing waiting for Shi Ding sitting in the window.
"So I came here today, just in time."
Shi Ding got up with a smile, greeted his colleagues in the room, turned around, and met him in the corridor.
"What does Uncle command?"
Jia Lian arched his hand and stood still.
The two marquis of Shi Nai and Shi Ding are the nephews of the old lady of Rongfu, and the two families have always been close and have a lot of contacts.
Shi Ding said: "Shangshutai is serious now, it's rare that you have to come over, why don't you find another place to speak? It won't be long in coming."
Since this is already the case, Jia Lian thought that there would be nothing to do today, so he agreed.
At that moment, Shi Ding led the way and came to a leisure courtyard in the Internal Affairs Mansion.
This annex was built by the previous governor of the Interior Office, who liked luxury, and the layout was naturally extraordinary, and now it is vacant, and the Interior Office is used to entertain nobles.
Jia Lian had heard of this place for a long time, but it was the first time he had to come empty, and when he entered at this time, he had to look around.
Shi Ding said with a smile: "You are now a saint, and the people in the Internal Affairs Mansion have heard that you are here to take stock and apply for silver, and they all feel that it is tricky. If you come here in the past, who would dare stop you?"
Jia Lian followed, shook his head and said, "It's been a big event for a year, if Liaodi hadn't calmed down now, I'm afraid I wouldn't have this leisure."
The two found a gazebo in the atrium and sat down, and after waiting for a while, a group of people came over with ice cubes and refreshments, and stepped back when they were presented.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has always been a well-known wealthy yamen, and just looking at the share of various refreshments, it is much better than Jia Lianna's general envoy.
Shi Ding moistened his mouth with tea, but shook his head and said: "It's not as good as before, when the former chief manager was here, there were three shifts of people waiting in this courtyard every day, but everything that can be found in the market in Kyoto and what can't be found can be seen here."
"Nowadays, the imperial treasury is running out of money and food, and the internal affairs office is found to be at fault, and the former chief administrator is dismissed. Even today, I don't mention the matter of Jiangnan anymore......
Of course, the emperor is now sick for a month, and I am afraid that he does not have this heart.
The emptiness of the treasury is a long-standing rumor in the imperial court, although Jia Lian and Shi Ding are not the officials of the household department, but they only see and hear in the imperial court every day, and they know that this is true.
After saying a few words about this matter, Jia Lian said: "Today, the king of Zhongshun has brought a new person into the palace to pray for blessings, and most of them can be done, but when it gets better today, all the things in the court should be much easier."
A Qingdao person and An Dao all entered the palace, and I heard that the emperor was not a terminal illness, and there was no reason to fail.
Jia Lian is therefore very sure.
"Solution?"
Shi Ding shook his head and said with a smile: "You still have less knowledge, and now you are determined to be an emperor like Tang Wen, and seeing that it has improved, it is natural that there is still a big construction project and a big military project. It's just that now, the imperial court doesn't have the family wealth accumulated by the two emperors to toss around, and if this is a tyrannical expropriation and harms the people, we and other officials will have to leave a bad name in history."
As soon as Jia Lian heard this, he knew that Shi Ding, like King Zhongshun, was a courtier who did not lead the battle, and he couldn't help frowning.
"It's just the rest, in the northwest, along the West Sea, sooner or later there will be wars, and there is no reason to stop the war."
Jia Lian is not a reckless soldier, it's just
He also served as an official in the northwest, and his vision for that place was stronger than Shi Ding's.
Even if the imperial court does not fight, the foreign enemies over there will sooner or later raise troops to annex Ping'an Zhou.
Shi Ding saw that Jia Lian was about to throw out his political opinions, so he talked about it eloquently, and hurriedly persuaded him: "That's it, I'm just talking about some worldly opinions, and I'm not a central official, and I don't charge the privy council, you just hold your own reasoning."
Jia Lian had no choice but to silence.
Shi Ding said again: "What does the imperial court think, the imminent matter of you and me must be a shortfall. I won't come to coax you, I know that the treasury is short of money, and I saw the deficit of the Internal Affairs Office a while ago, and I was so angry that I wanted to make someone raid the Shihou Mansion and arrest my brother, but fortunately the nobles persuaded me to suppress this matter for the time being."
This matter is serious, but Jia Lian is used to seeing all kinds of scenes in front of the palace, how can he be bluffed.
"The noble man that my uncle said, isn't Sha Mo the third prince?"
The prince's party dispute has not found him for some days, and Jia Lian couldn't hide his sneer when he heard it.
"Hugh has to mention it, I was born in the palace, and I was personally knighted by the Son of Heaven, but I am a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and there is no reason to associate with the three princes."
Shi Ding was afraid that Jia Lian would be angry, so he didn't hurry to answer this, but said, "The deficit of each family is not enough, and it is the unclean stain in the eyes of His Majesty. Even if you move out of Jiamen and curry favor, you should also know that Your Majesty is a mean person with an unpredictable temperament, otherwise Jinling's grace to save you should make you a confidant and supervisor. Now do you have the heart to go to the six parts as a squire? I'm afraid it's not easy."
The emperor also does not have the magic power of the Three Realms, so the door is closed and scolded, as long as it is not passed out, no one can control it.
Even Jia Lian secretly complains about the emperor from time to time.
But this is the first time to hear people face to face.
Jia Lian immediately got up, looked at Zuo Jin, and saw that no one heard Shi Ding's presumptuous words, so he calmed down a little.
"I know, my uncle is such a cautious and low-key person on weekdays, and he can't wait to go to court with patches on his official robe, but now he is saying this. Presumably, thinking that His Majesty has been ill for half a year, the court can't discuss it, so he has a different heart."
Shi Ding also got up and sighed, "You and I are both relatives, and we have always supported and covered up, not ordinary outsiders, so I said this. Thinking that my family's deficit of more than two million taels is to empty the twelve rooms of the Xue family, where can I find it?"
"What's more, it was the cost of the car that year, and the court really shouldn't have to recover it year after year, which makes the old minister feel cold."
Jia Lian shook his head again and again, and sneered: "I heard that the creditor pursued Cheng Zhou, and the king of Zhou still had no shame to avoid the high platform and not let the armor hurt people. Uncle Bo Gu is all over the world, but he can't even compare to King Zhou, so he has such a bad heart?"
If they didn't agree, the two inevitably broke up unhappily.
When Shi Ding heard about the deficit of the Jia family, he originally wanted to mention that Jia Lian should vote for the three princes early, and wait for the three princes to ascend the throne, and these deficits are naturally nothing to the ministers of the hidden mansion.
Besides, the current emperor seized the throne and killed his father, he is really not a good person!
……
Imperial city harem, Qianqing Palace in the eaves of the fairy building.
The fairy building is the second floor, near the pavilion,
Accompanied by Prince Zhongshun, Emperor Yonglong specially summoned An Daoquan and a Qingdao man on this day.
"Jia Qing has repeatedly asked, saying that you are a strange person, and you can come to see me today."
An Daoquan swallowed his saliva, looked up, and saw the haggard face of Emperor Yonglong.
The Ninety-Five Venerable will also suffer from the diseases of ordinary people, and An Dao will settle down for a while and come closer.
"Please...... Test the pulse."
Both of them searched their bodies, and Emperor Yonglong stretched out his hand openly.
After a while, An Daoquan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and retreated, and said, "The pulse is really the same, the grass people can prescribe two prescriptions to calm the nerves, and when one is good, change to the second one."
This diagnosis is not much different from that of some imperial doctors, Emperor Yonglong nodded.
The people of the palace came forward and led An Daoquan to another place to write the prescription.
Seeing this, a Qingdao man who was watching was empty-handed
Coming forward—his whisk was removed.
"Your Majesty, please hold your back."
The face of the king of Zhongshun was displeased when he heard this, and the palace people standing on the side did not move.
Emperor Yonglong said: "Sir doesn't go to ask hexagrams, and second, he doesn't go to the table, as long as he retreats left and right, what is the saying?"
A Qingdao said, "Your Majesty is dark and entrenched in nightmares, and if you don't interpret dreams, no matter how much you do to eliminate disasters, it will be useless."
Emperor Yonglong hesitated when he heard this.
The Qingdao man was not the first to see that he was haunted by nightmares, but he was the first to dare to interpret the dream.
"The things in the dream are not enough to say, sir, please say something else."
Emperor Yonglong waved his hand and asked the palace people standing beside him to turn their backs.
I often dream that the emperor asks for his life, how can this thing be said.
When he was in Jinling the year before last, he really didn't know how the Emperor Taishang died, and this was a tacit thing.
But being tortured by nightmares to this point, Emperor Yonglong sometimes really wanted to summon Shi Xiu and Jia Lian to come to him and ask how Emperor Taishang died, whether he was sent off by a corner of the curtain.
A Qingdao man came close at this time, and he was no more than three feet away from the throne.
Although the timing is still a little worse, since he was invited out and arrived in the palace, he has to say.
A Qingdao man said in a low voice, "Your Majesty's worries, the root cause of which is nothing more than a heart disease. Life is in the universe of heaven and earth, if the white horse passes through the gap, it is sudden. The crown prince is already in his thirties, let alone Your Majesty?"
These words are not directed at the prince, but just to explain the truth.
The emperor is no longer in the prime of life.
When Emperor Yonglong first heard this, he only felt ridiculous, and it had nothing to do with his nightmares.
It's just that when you think about it, it's like a thunderstorm.
The death of the Emperor Taishang has more or less made waves in the past few years.
And he is also old, and he is not as exhausted as when he fought with the Emperor Taishang in the past, and he is already a little powerless for the affairs of the court.
When he was lying on the sickbed for a long time, the government and the opposition were impetuous and uneasy, how could he not worry that someone would follow suit.
All the princes and ministers, which one dares to say that he is completely loyal and has no dissent?
Especially the matter of the prince!
The matter of life and death was so serious, Emperor Yonglong came back to his senses, shook his head, and asked, "Now that you know my worries, does Mr. have a solution?"
A Qingdao man said with a smile: "Your Majesty should look for this matter inside, not ask outside. Although time does not wait for me, but throughout the ages, there has never been a person who lives forever, and if His Majesty wants to search for the elixir of immortality because of this, it is the fault of the poor way."
When Emperor Yonglong heard this, he couldn't help but be silent for a while.
The king of Zhongshun also approached at this time and advised, "Your Majesty is a saint, and everything you do is the will of heaven, and the Taoist must not slander it."
He only listened vaguely, but the emperor's politeness could not be faked, so he persuaded him loudly.
A Qingdao man said yes, quietly retreated, and reached the side of the pavilion railing.
After a while, someone from the palace came to invite him to rest in the ashram.
As soon as the Qingdao man breathed a sigh of relief, he asked for another relay, put the case of incense and candles and other things, and when His Majesty used the medicine in the evening, he would do another disaster elimination ***, and then everything would be done.
"Good."
Emperor Yonglong heard the relays and nodded in agreement.
Tonight, the palace was naturally lively for a while, and I didn't mention it.
Early the next morning, Emperor Yonglong woke up and found that he was really not bothered by the nightmare, and he was immediately overjoyed.
For several days, there was no waking up in the middle of the night.
Emperor Yonglong's body was brisk, and he was getting better day by day, so he recognized the ability of a Qingdao person, and immediately issued an order to canonize a Qingdao Taoist to be a real person, give Guanyu, and enjoy the three products.
As for An Daoquan, the use of medicine by doctors of unknown origin is a taboo in heaven after all, so it was ignored and only given money to be returned.
Emperor Yonglong dismissed the post of the left attendant of the military department in the name of supervising the affairs of the Liao army, so that Jia Lian got his wish, and was awarded the rank of Zhu Guo, and was appointed as the left attendant of the military department.
Because the political envoy was unsupervised for a while, Jia Lian was still in charge.
This makes King Zhongshun a little uncomfortable, a squire is nothing to him, but Shangshutai is the most important now, but Jia Lian still holds the general political envoy and does not go.
"Your Majesty."
On this day, the king of Zhongshun came to the palace to ask for instructions, and when he entered the palace, he saw the Yonglong Emperor carrying a red pen, and he did not know which one was in the revolutionary dynasty.
King Zhongshun asked for instructions on state affairs, and after answering the answer, he was not in a hurry to leave, but only said one more word.
"Your Majesty's physical recovery, for the benefit of the country, Wei Chen can not help but be happy, but also unspeakably regretful. If you get acquainted with a halal person through Lord Jia Lian as soon as possible, you will not be able to suffer for a month or so, and it will cause a small slump in the middle of the country, which is now worrying."
Emperor Yonglong is now healed, and it is the time to be energetic and radiant, and he can't help but laugh when he hears this.
"Uncle Huang has always been an old man who seeks the country, how can he say this today......
