51. A bunch of bad news

Lin Ruhai is a court official, seeing more darkness and injustice, he is no longer stunned when he has just entered the officialdom, he sighed and said: "The clan has been together for a long time, and it cannot be changed overnight, even if the court law stipulates that there are illegal things that must be reported to the yamen, but they can't stop them from dealing with them privately." ”

"In some places where the family is strong, the clan rules are often greater than the national law, and the court is very dissatisfied with this. I still remember that there was a county town, there was a wealthy clan in the local area, and the children of the clan were imprisoned for committing crimes, and the people of the clan dared to gather to forcibly break into the county government and rob people, and in the end only a few of the leaders were arrested, and the followers were educated, after all, the law does not blame the public, and they can't arrest and behead the one or two hundred young people. ”

Yun Qing disagreed, it was because of this that those people would not be afraid, and a few typical heavy penalties would be arrested, and the custody could deter most people, and it would be useful to kill chickens and monkeys at any time, but unfortunately she also knew that with the current social order, the whole is required to be stable, and now it is not the rule of law, what she wants is far from being realized.

After a few sighs, Yun Qing saw that Lin Ruhai and his wife were not very emotional, and thought that he had come to the door this time, and he really came to block them, but he couldn't help but say it, so he asked: "I entered Beijing this time and heard some news, which is related to Mrs.'s mother's family, do you want to hear it?" ”

Jia Min was stunned, she was smart and immediately realized that it was not good news, but she didn't listen to bad things? Of course it was impossible, she motioned to Yun Qing to speak directly, Yun Qing organized the language, and said: "I heard that the four kings and eight princes have married each other for several generations, and one is prosperous and the other is lost; There are also the four major families on the 'talisman' in Jinling City, and when the officials of Tianfu arrive, they don't go to these families first, but they are afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch and offend them, not only will they be official, but they will not even be able to save their lives. Do you know that your mansion is so prestigious, ma'am? ”

Jia Min paused, of course she knew, but weren't all wealthy families like this? If you want to gain a foothold in the court, who can still fight alone? Isn't it normal for in-laws to be old and old, and everyone helps and supports each other? Why mention it specifically? Including Lin Ruhai, who is also a member of this network, what's wrong?

Jia Min was puzzled, but Lin Ruhai showed a clear gaze, and explained for Yunqing: "The one above will not like the people below to form a party for personal gain, the more people gathered and the more powerful they are, the more fearful they are." The power of the father-in-law's family is already not small, and there are four kings and eight princes who have a close relationship, plus the three families of Shi, Wang, and Xue, they have gathered the military generals of Wenchen and the Xue family, and the financial support of the Xue family......"

Jia Min was shocked, the moon is full, the water is full, and the water is overflowing, when it comes to the big truth, it is a set of things, but if you put it on yourself, you will inevitably be blinded, only see today's glory, but you can't see the hidden worries behind it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help glaring at Lin Ruhai, and said angrily: "Since the master knows, why don't you tell me to remind me?" ”

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly: "I also hinted to the two brothers-in-law, the eldest brother-in-law replied to persuade me not to worry about the sky, and the second brother-in-law simply didn't see it, what can I say?" ”

Jia Min was also speechless. The daughter who got married spilled the water, the big things of the mother's family really won't listen to their husband and wife, even if the lord sees that there are many problems, he can only persuade tactfully, the brothers don't listen, what can they do?

Hearing this, Yun Qing also realized that she was thinking about it again, she originally thought that Lin Ruhai and Jia Min didn't know much about the situation of the Jia family, didn't realize their hidden worries and crises, and didn't know that they had violated laws and disciplines, so she never asked.

At this time, I knew that Jia Min might not know much about it, but Lin Ruhai knew it in his heart, but he just couldn't control it. Jia Min is a married woman and has no right to speak, while Lin Ruhai is a foreigner and is not good at interfering in Yue's family affairs.

In other words, Yunqing's original consideration of letting Lin Ruhai and his wife restrain the Jia family's plan was completely unsuccessful.

Yun Qing was a little disappointed, but he mentioned it all, and he couldn't just say half of it, and continued: "Forming a party is one thing, there are also things like selling officials, swaying lawsuits, and taking over lawsuits, that is, the clansmen who have no officials and no lords on the Jinling side can also bully people and sell good land, and even robbing people's daughters has happened, and some people have been held accountable, and all of them are crimes." ”

Jia Min's face was pale, Lin Ruhai's face was not very good-looking, they knew that the Jia family would not be too innocent, but they didn't expect that there would be so many problems, so they immediately secretly decided to write a letter to persuade them when they turned around, even if it would be annoying, they couldn't continue to sit idly by.

Maybe they didn't feel stimulated enough, Yun Qing asked again: "Ning Guofu's newly married grandmother Qin last year is the orphan of Prince Xianyizhong, do you know about this?" ”

Lin Ruhai just took a sip of tea, and immediately choked, Jia Min covered his chest, looking like he was not breathing well, and after a long time, Lin Ruhai said with difficulty: "How much bad news is there, you finish it at once, and if it goes on like this, our hearts can't stand it......"

Yun Qing blinked and said innocently: "There is nothing else, I will be in the capital for a month and a half, how much can I hear?" That's your relatives and family, you should know better than me, why do you want to ask me? ”

Jia Min said in a trance: "You just said that Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is the orphan of Prince Yizhong, is it true?" Yun Qing nodded affirmatively, Jia Min was angry and anxious, tears came down, and cried: "What do Brother Jing and Brother Zhen think?" Wasn't it enough to suffer losses back then? How dare you get involved in these things? ”

can be regarded as finding someone who can solve the puzzle, Yun Qing was busy asking in detail, Jia Min was emotionally unstable, so Lin Ruhai explained.

Now is the third emperor, he ascended the throne at the age of nineteen, the same year his eldest son was born, the following year was named the crown prince, this prince can be said to accumulate thousands of favors in one, as a result of being spoiled, wanton, reckless, cruel, ruthless and lustful and lascivious, these are the crimes of the first prince when he was deposed.

It is said that if something didn't go well, he whipped the attendants around him, and more than a dozen people were directly killed, and many more died of serious injuries; He was able to participate in the East Palace because of the imperial history, and he was insulted in front of him during the Great Dynasty, and he would also kick people down the steps because the emperor praised his younger brothers, and it is said that the second prince was kicked off his leg by him.

What's even more exaggerated is that he fell in love with a certain little concubine of the emperor, so he dared to force people directly to put a green hat on his emperor's father, and then the little concubine committed suicide due to humiliation, leaving a blood letter accusing him, when he was questioned by the emperor, not only did he admit his mistake, but contemptuously said that the little concubine did not know how to lift, and almost did not return his father to the west on the spot.

These are not the most powerful operations of that god-man.

Because of his various rebellious behaviors, the emperor endured the abolition of his crown prince, temporarily confined, this god did not accept defeat, would rather die vigorously, unwilling to hold back the life of the nest, and simply pulled a group of people to force the palace, but the result was no match for the old Jiang's father, did not succeed, his last madness was to personally cut all the women and children in the East Palace, and then committed suicide, swearing not to give the emperor's father a chance to dispose of him.
