Jinling Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall, Jia Lian sat on the soft couch in the main hall, listening to Jin Cai's report on the situation in Jinling.

"In other words, the clansmen here in Jinling are living a very chic life. their days. It's better than me. ”

Jin Cai is just a housekeeper who guards the house, and rarely leaves Rongguo Mansion except when he goes out to buy. So there must not be many things to know.

But just from Jin Cai's words, Jia Lian found that the Jia family here in Jinling had a good life.

is worthy of being the head of the four major families in Jinling, if it weren't for the fact that there is still a Zhen family in Jinling, I'm afraid the Jia family can really go further under the leadership of this old man.

After chatting for a while, Jia Lian looked at the sky and said, "Lao Jin, you go to Qing'er, pack up the New Year's gifts unloaded on the boat for the Zhen family, load the car, let's go to the Zhen family,"

"Second master, aren't you going to take a break today?"

Jia Lian looked at Jin Cai and waved his hand: "Not to mention, we are here to give a New Year's gift on behalf of the old lady this time, so we don't dare to delay." Let's just say that when we come to Jinling, if we don't go to the president's mansion to worship the wharf, we won't be able to work well in the future.

I came to Jiangnan to investigate the Yangzhou case, so it is reasonable for the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion and the Jiangsu Political Envoy Yamen not to go. Besides, we are the officials of the Jinyi Mansion, and we are nobles, and few of those civil officials except for my grandfather's protégé probably don't care about me.

But the Zhen family can't do it, as long as the Zhen family is still there, it is the most transcendent existence in the whole Dazheng. Taizu allowed him to be at ease, the Holy Ancestor regarded him as a sister, and the emperor called him the old man of my family. ”

Jin Cai was stunned, he had been in Jinling for many years, and he knew the power of the Zhen family. But how to listen to the meaning of the second master, the Zhen family is now referring to Mrs. Fengsheng alone.

"Second master, how can I listen to what you mean, the Zhen family is now relying on Mrs. Fengsheng. Although the little ones don't understand the big truth, the Zhen family is a universal existence in Jiangnan. It's even better than Lord Han, the governor of Liangjiang. ”

Jia Lian showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes, but he didn't expect that Jin Cai's subordinates could actually see this. The Jia family is talented, but it is cheap Lao Tzu Jia Yu and Jia Zheng will not be used.

Jia Lian suddenly decided to cultivate Jin Cai, in case he got someone else's daughter in the future, he would always have something good to give to others.

"You can see it very thoroughly, but you don't know that this is the Zhen family's way of causing trouble. Now the one on the dragon chair is almost red-eyed because of lack of money, but the Zhen family owes millions of taels of silver to the treasury and is still well-fed.

Back then, the Holy Ancestor left the Zhen family in Jiangnan in order to pacify and monitor Jiangnan Shilin on behalf of the Heavenly Family. Now Zhen Yingjia has almost become a Buddha in Jiangnan. What does he want to do?

Han Feng, the governor of Liangjiang, and Xu Jia, the political envoy of Jiangsu, are both confidants of His Majesty, similar to my uncle, they are both reformist representatives who are determined to reform Dazheng and refresh the rule of officials, and they are now Dazheng's first-class capable ministers. Doing this under their noses, if the Zhen family didn't have the talisman of Mrs. Fengsheng, they would have been killed by the cold and Xu and the others. ”

Of course, Jia Lian still didn't say a word, Emperor Longzheng probably had his intention to liquidate the Zhen family.

After all, in the process of winning the heir from Jingning to Longzheng, the Zhen family was like a clear stream, and they never stood on the right side once.

At the end of Jingning, the Holy Ancestor was old, and the battle over whether the eldest son or the concubine was very fierce.

At that time, the Zhen family did not care about the affection of Mrs. Fengsheng who had raised the emperor, and stood very firmly on the side of his son-in-law, Prince Yizhong.

When Emperor Taishang succeeded to the throne and the Yong'an Dynasty began, because Mrs. Fengsheng had a great kindness to Emperor Taishang, although Emperor Taishang was angry that his brother betrayed him, he still had great favor for the Zhen family.

In the Yong'an Dynasty, it became a battle between Emperor Longzheng and the king of Yiping. It is said that the Zhen family should support Emperor Longzheng, the adopted son of Empress Yuan, this time.

No, Zhen Ying, the head of the Zhen family, took the entire Zhen family into the arms of the king of Yiping without hesitation.

As a result, Emperor Longzheng succeeded in winning the throne.

Jia Lian felt that the Zhen family was really no one. This vision is not to mention the ancient and modern, and it is rarely compared.

"Then the second master, the Zhen family is so dangerous, do we still have to move forward?" Jin Cai saw that Jia Lian suddenly fell silent, and after waiting for a while, he still asked.

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, smiled and said, "There's no need to deliberately alienate, it's not appropriate." Back then, Mrs. Fengsheng did not only have the grace of nurturing the emperor. The mother family of the Emperor Taishang is not strong, and without the protection of the Holy Lady, the Emperor Taishang, who is not in good health, may be difficult to grow up in the huge harem of the Holy Ancestor.

Therefore, even if the Emperor Taishang no longer likes the Zhen family, and Mrs. Fengsheng is here, he will not touch the Zhen family. Even if Mrs. Fengsheng is gone, as long as he is there, the Zhen family will be fine.

Besides, the Zhen family and my Jia family, especially the Rongguo Mansion, have been friends for generations since the old Rongguo. Is it possible to break it if you say it? ”

"However, according to what you said, the Zhen family seems to be in danger. After all, Madame Bongsheng is nearly 100 years old, in case ......"

"Don't worry, my Jia family doesn't live on the Zhen family. There are four generations and three fathers of my Jia family, and every piece of land in Dazheng has the blood of my Jia family, as long as we do our best, there will be no problems. ”

Jin Cai looked at the confident Jia Lian and was very happy in his heart. He had seen the first Rongguo back then, and even the Jin family had been a servant of the Jia family's Rongguo Mansion since the old Rongguo, so he was naturally willing to see the lord of the family, the prince Wandai.

Jia Lian now has a military position, according to the code of the dynasty, as long as he has military merits. You will be able to recover and get rid of this shameful general, and restore the martial lord.

Jia Lian saw that the time was almost up, so he tidied up his clothes and went out.

The reason why he rejected everyone, even Han Feng and Xu Jia, was naturally because Lin Ruhai was not at ease.

Emperor Longzheng took a fancy to Lin Ruhai, and he saw it in his eyes. If it weren't for the need for Lin Ruhai to keep an eye on the salt tax in Yangzhou and keep a financial resource for his inner nu, there would be no problem with Lin Ruhai's talent as a political envoy.

Besides, as Daiyu's party, since he has the opportunity to keep Daiyu's parents, he naturally has to work hard.

Therefore, it is not necessary to offend people.

Besides, as a noble military minister, there is no benefit in getting too close to civil officials. Now this one on the dragon chair is a strict monarch who is strict with himself.

As for the Zhen family, it is necessary to go. The man of the Zhen family is not worried, but the old lady is really not easy to mess with.

Besides, this time to go south, Jia Lian still needs the Zhen family to contribute. If Zhen Yingjia and his eldest son Zhen Yu are not coaxed, things are really not easy to do.
