In the fourth year of Longzheng, the twentieth month of La, Jinling Wharf.

Jia Lian, who is already the envoy of the Beizhen Prefecture and the first-class uncle of the National Dynasty, is here to say goodbye to Han Feng, Lin Ruhai and Shen Yi who saw him off.

Although the holy decree asked him to go to the post, he had to wait. First, Jiangnan's affairs have not been dealt with yet, and Jia Lian has to let Jiangnan continue to stabilize. Second, the Beizhen Mansion Division also has to allow people to clean up and tidy up.

Shen Yi, the former secretary of the Nanzhen Mansion, was transferred to the Beizhen Prefecture to be in charge of the punishment of thousands of households and concurrently served as the envoy of the town government, and Gao Wantong of the thousands of households in Yangzhou was transferred to the position of the secretary of the Nanzhen Prefecture and the envoy of the town government, taking over the punishment of thousands of households and Jinling thousands of households.

Chen Jun, a thousand households in Ningbo, was originally a member of the old ministry of Rongguo, and he helped Jia Lian a lot in Yangzhou and was transferred to Yangzhou Qianhu.

Jia Lian's original plan was to sit in Jinling by himself, on the one hand, to rectify the Jiangnan Jinyi Mansion, and on the other hand, to ensure the safety of Lin Ruhai. But the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and after the New Year, he must return to Beijing to take up his post. Then Yangzhou must put one of its own people in office.

Jia Lian has already negotiated with Zhao Zun, and is waiting for Lin Ruhai to take matters into Yangzhou. Chen Jun was immediately transferred to the Beizhen Prefecture Division.

There has been news in Beijing that in the fifth year of Longzheng, the emperor will re-dispatch the town government department to various places. The four major town government divisions in the east, west, north and south will once again become prominent feudal officials.

Jia Lian's status will also improve rapidly. Now, after the arrest and punishment of Yangzhou military equipment and the complete pacification of the entire Jiangnan, Jia Lian is finally going back to Beijing.

"Uncle, don't come back this time when my aunt and cousin go back to Beijing with me? His Majesty has promised that after a while, you will be transferred to Beijing, and then we will be able to reunite. ”

Lin Ruhai smiled, he was also happy that he was about to leave Yangzhou. The road in Yangzhou has been smoothed for the latecomers. As long as Emperor Longzheng sends another henchman with acceptable ethics to come over and take care of the cat and the tiger.

Such a person, an emperor who has been on the throne for nearly five years is not lacking in any case.

"That's natural, the emperor has already given a house in Buzhengfang, and when Lord Zhang comes to Yangzhou to hand over the errand, I will return to Beijing to take up my post. This year's New Year, let their mothers spend it with you. ”

Jia Lian nodded without mentioning it.

Jia Min and the three returned to Beijing with Jia Lian, which originated from a letter from Jia's mother.

Two months ago, when the dust settled in Yangzhou, Emperor Longzheng issued an edict to Jin Jia Lian as a first-class uncle, and the envoy of Beizhen Prefecture. When the holy decree came to Jia's house, everyone in Jia's family was almost dumbfounded.

To tell the truth, when Jia Lian went to Yangzhou, almost no one thought that Jia Lian would be able to make any achievements. After all, the first seventeen years of Jia Lian's life basically made people see little hope.

But it is obvious that Emperor Longzheng will not be idle to lie for Jia Lian, even if he wants to lie, the officials and imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not agree. It is also impossible for the Hanlin Academy's decree and the Sheren of Zhongshu Province to draft the edict.

So, it's all true. Rongguo Mansion has really changed from the lord of the clan to the lord of the martial arts again.

Speaking of which, at first, Jia Lian didn't understand what this clan lord meant. It was only after asking Chen Menglei that I understood.

In order to learn the lessons of the Tang Dynasty's martial arts, this dynasty did not want to constantly find trouble and reduce the honors for no reason like the Zhou Dynasty.

Emperor Taizu creatively came up with a solution. That is, the strict system of honorable examination and sealing, no military position, no military merits of the honorable inheritors can not inherit the five categories of fifteenth-class military lords.

But the direct abolition of the title seems to be mean and unkind. Therefore, the last third-class titles that originally belonged to the clan: the first-class Shenwei General, the third-class Zhenwei General, and the fifth-class Yangwei General were borrowed, so that the nobles who had not joined the army could also be rich and noble for three generations.

Because it is a clan title, it is called the lord of the clan, and the original title of the prince and the prince is the lord of the martial arts.

Within three generations of the clan prince, if there is a child in the family who has entered the military and made military achievements, he can re-become the title of Wuxun and noble, and at least one third-class son is at the bottom.

And if after three generations, if you want to make meritorious service and get a knighthood, then unless you make great contributions to destroying the country, you can only start with a third-class man.

And Rongguofu, which was once the first of Da Zheng Wuxun for two consecutive generations, finally became the title of Wuxun after more than 20 years.

However, with Jia Lian's holy decree, the specific situation of the Yangzhou case also reached the ears of the old lady.

This can scare the old lady a lot. It turned out that her daughter was so dangerous in Yangzhou. It's a little bit worse, and I'm going to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person.

The old lady decisively regained the authority she had when she was a housekeeper, and sent someone from Shenjing to Jinling to see Jia Lian. explained that the wife was old and missed her daughter, and when Jia Lian returned to Beijing, he must take Jia Min and his granddaughter to the capital for a reunion.

Of course, Jia Lian knew very well that the old lady was worried that Jia Min would be in danger again. But fortunately, Jia Lian has already obtained a secret letter from Emperor Longzheng. There is a vacancy in the right capital of the Imperial Palace, and he has already fought for Lin Ruhai to achieve this vacancy.

To be honest, Emperor Longzheng's arrangement is very skillful. The head constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the Imperial History of the Left Capital, but the previous Imperial History of the Left Capital returned to his hometown more than two months ago.

Originally, the second-in-command right capital Yushi should take over. Zhang Lan, the right capital of Yushi, has suffered from lung disease in recent years, and although she still insists on working, it is obviously impossible to be promoted again.

Last month, Zhang Lan, whose lung disease suddenly worsened, fainted in Yamen. Emperor Longzheng seized the opportunity to fight for this position for Lin Ruhai.

After all, although Lin Ruhai is known as a sick fox, the credit for filling the treasury cannot be erased. Not to mention the premise that he still took out a large sum of money and gave it to Longzheng Di Neinu.

Originally, it was best to be directly promoted to the imperial history of Zuodu, but Lin Ruhai's qualifications were a little lacking. He is not yet forty years old, and since joining the office, except for the first few years of staying in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he has only one term in Yangzhou, and he is not a pro-people official.

The two factions of Prince Yiping and Prince Yizhong seized on this point and made a big fuss. Fortunately, Emperor Longzheng was not without him, and he directly came up with a way.

Lin Ruhai was promoted to the imperial history of the right capital and was in charge of the affairs of the imperial court. As for the imperial history of Zuodu, the important ministers of the Qiqing level, Emperor Longzheng does not need to seal, and no one can do anything.

However, it will take some time to hand over government affairs. This year, Lin Ruhai could only live alone.

However, Emperor Longzheng did not treat Lin Ruhai badly, Buzhengfang, a place where Qingliu civil officials gathered, a set of three-entry mansions had been prepared for Lin Ruhai.

The house was once owned by Sun Cheng, the former head of the household department, and it was gorgeous and comfortable, no less than the Rongguo Mansion, but the scale was smaller. Later, Sun Cheng was taken down for his crimes, and the house was confiscated. Now it's cheaper than Lin Ruhai.

Lin Daiyu stayed on Jia Lian's Jinyi Mansion official boat, giggling while looking left and right. Jia Lian was also very happy watching from the side. This time Daiyu enters Beijing, there will definitely be a different result.
