Red Chamber Fellows: You Are Not Guilty

Morning is still the same as the third child, you quarrel with me and everyone quarrels.Jia She, who went to court on the first day, opened his eyes - he was called to defend himself that time because everyone saw him alone, and no one quarreled with him.

Now that everyone is arguing so happily, why did they bow to each other politely and harmoniously after the next court? Jia She felt that he could learn from it.

"Chen Han, Minister of the Ministry of War, please increase the military salary and winter clothes for the Northwest Camp." It is related to the northwest border, and the emperor is also interested:

"Oh? Why didn't you see the memorial from the Northwest Camp?"

Chen Han carefully replied: "Prince Teng inspected the nine provinces and went to the Northwest Camp. He felt that the soldiers were loyal to the soil in the bitter cold. In order to show His Majesty's love for the soldiers, he specially asked the Ministry of War to ask for more pay and more clothes."

Jia Amnesty snickered inwardly, the prince stretched his arms long enough, he begged the Ministry of War to act on his behalf, if it turned out he was begging for orders for the soldiers, if not it was because the Ministry of War was ineffective and the emperor didn't love the soldiers.This trick seems to be able to win the hearts of the army in the Northwest camp, but unfortunately, he miscalculated himself. It may be that the smooth sailing of the past few years made the prince lose his cautiousness. Even the emperor wanted to take advantage of it. how to write.

Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs came out and said: "At the beginning when the salary of each battalion was approved, the garrison environment had already been considered. The salary of the soldiers in the Northwest Camp was [-]% higher than that of the mainland, and it also had two sets of winter clothes more than the mainland, and the food was [-]% more than the mainland. Cheng, these are cost-effective with the Ministry of War, Chen Shilang doesn't know?"

Chen Handun replied without a pause: "The Ministry of War naturally knows about it. It's just that the inspection of nine provinces sent two letters asking for additional letters within a month, and the Ministry of War had to act on their behalf." Have you checked, there is no fool, and the Ministry of War probably I'm impatient with Wang Ziteng's little calculations, you have to be a good person, the Ministry of War can act on your behalf, but whether it will be successful or not depends on His Majesty's will.

The emperor was not easy to be fooled, and said to Chen Han: "Mingfa replied to Wang Ziteng and asked him to inspect the nine provinces. He should know the regulations on the border military pay of the nine provinces. Now it seems that he is confused. Let him handle his errands carefully. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, it is not for him to provoke." These words are a bit heavy, but they are still obvious, and it is completely clear that the emperor is dissatisfied.

There are not many people from the honorable lineage who can go to court, and they don't look good after hearing the emperor's words, and some people secretly look at Jia She - they are his in-laws.Jia Amnesty thought hehe, now he and Wang Ziteng are almost deadly enemies.Decisively pretend not to understand.Anyway, everyone knows that he is going to court for the first time in 20 years. Who can do anything to him if he doesn't know the situation and dare not speak up?

Zhang Qing was afraid that Jia She would be impulsive at first, so he was relieved when he saw that he hadn't moved. He quietly worked on his murals and waited for the emperor to inquire before speaking.

After the court was over for a while, everyone had to go to the Ministry of Dian Mao separately, and Jia Amnesty also went to the Ministry of Rites with others.

"Enhou." Someone called him.Jia Amnesty raised his head and looked at the person who came, he was a heroic man, he was dressed in a military officer's official robe, which made him look majestic, and he looked like a third-rank man.Coincidentally, someone bowed to that person first: "Niu Tongzhi." I see, this person should be a descendant of Duke Zhen, who is currently in charge of Jingying Tongzhi.Jia Amnesty imitated the example, and cupped his hands and said, "What can you learn about the Niu Tongzhi?"

That Niu Tongzhuan slapped Jia She on the back: "You and my brother, what are you doing with such a birthright, and you still call me Lao Niu as before."

Jia She said with a chuckle: "Now this general is the servant of the Ministry of Rites."

Niu Tongzhi didn't take it seriously: "So what about the Ministry of Rites, it's only a third grade. If you're afraid of people saying it, it's better to be called Jiye than any Tongzhi. Just now?"

Jia She knew what he was going to say, and at this moment he had already dug out his memory - this Niu Jiye attacked the Duke of Zhenguo, and he had two brushes in his hand, much stronger than him, and when he attacked the Duke, he waited Not much, now he is the Duke of Zhen.At that time, there were four kings and eight princes, and Zhen Guogong had the most military power besides Ningrong and Ergong. After several generations, he was still able to control the Beijing camp, which shows the prosperity of his connections.Thinking of this, Jia Amnesty squinted his eyes, it seemed that he had to rationalize the information he had remembered, otherwise it would be nice to not be able to recognize anyone in the same situation just now.

"I just went to court today, and my eyes were dark." Jia She was doing Tai Chi.

Niu Jiye was obviously dissatisfied: "Even so, they are still your in-laws, and we must take care of each other. Now who can we rely on?"

This is not true.Wang Xifeng has been home for almost two months, and he doesn't know what Niu Jiye means?Jia Amnesty would not believe that no one in the capital talked about gossip.Remembering this, Jia She put on a straight face: "Niu Tongzhi didn't hear about it? My dog ​​has made peace with Wang Ziteng's niece because she didn't take care of me during my illness, and even the imperial doctor refused to invite her." separated."

This time it was Niu Jiye's turn to open his mouth wide: "How could it be? Didn't you just let her natal family bring her back to think about it? No wonder it's been such a long time since your family came to pick her up." Jia Amnesty had to say that the Wang family is really good at planning. Forget it, at the beginning there was still a Mrs. Wang between the two families, but in the end they only chose Jia Lian and Li, and let them take advantage of such a big loophole.Perhaps it was Wang Ziteng's good idea again, no wonder Wang Ziteng hadn't seen him for so many days.

"Who has seen the dowry being carried back?" Jia She immediately retorted.

After thinking about it, Niu Jiye also felt that this was the reason, so he said goodbye without saying anything more.Jia Amnesty came to the Ministry of Rites while wondering what the Wang family was up to.On the first day of taking office, it is natural to meet with the boss, meet with Zuo Shilang, and summon the subordinates.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, surnamed Zuo Mingji, once served as the chief examiner of Tianyou Enke, and is one of the current confidantes.When Jia She was parachuted to the Ministry of Rites, the emperor had already personally greeted him, and of course he put the Supreme Emperor's idea at the forefront.So Zuo Shangshu was neither indifferent nor warm to Jia Amnesty, so he asked someone to invite Zuo Shilang Liu Feng, briefly introduced the two of them, and then asked them to retire.

At this time, I realized that the original right servant of the Ministry of Rites had been absent for many years, so Jia Amnesty didn't have to worry about the original right servant stabbing his villain.It's just that the place where the right servant works is not close to Lord Shangshu's public house, and the place where the left servant wants to come is the same.Just as he was talking to the two little officials in his public house about family issues, he saw Zuo Shilang leading a person in.Jia Amnesty cupped his hands and asked, "Master Liu, what advice do you have?"

Liu Feng said: "Master Jia, this is Lord Lin Shenglin, the doctor of the Rites and Cleaning Department. Lord Lin knows the etiquette system most clearly. You have just arrived at the Ministry, Lord Shangshu. Please ask Lord Lin to explain it to you first."

Come on, this is to let him continue to learn.Fortunately, it is better to be here than to go to the study, and no one is watching the whole process.Unexpectedly, Cao Cao not only couldn't speak, but also couldn't think, Zhongshun walked in immediately. "Jia Amnesty, are you done here?"

Lin Sheng hurriedly greeted Zhongshun, and was dismissed with a wave of his hand: "Even if you want to make friends with Shangguan, you don't have to be so hasty, it's too ugly to eat."

Lin Sheng's nose was crooked, did he want to come?If Master Shangshu hadn't said that the right servant of the Ministry of Rites didn't understand etiquette and went out to make people laugh at the entire Ministry of Rites, would he have come to see an old dude in the capital?

Jia Amnesty was also angry, why did this person go and follow where? Is Pingjun Wang possessed?He explained: "This is the teacher Mr. Shang Shu specially found for me, please don't make trouble."

Lin Sheng found that the new right servant lacked in manners, so he had no choice but to say: "Master servant, the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers is the most important thing in etiquette. You should show respect when you see the prince."

No one has ever mentioned this. Jia She is always going out and about in the study room these days, and it is the same with any dragon son and grandson he meets. He is special to Prince Ping because he doesn't know what he wants to do. Afraid of being caught.As for Zhongshun, Jia Amnesty never regarded him as a person who needed to be respected, and wanted to take his anger out on others when things went wrong.

Zhongshun waved his hand again: "No need to be too polite, I have something to do with your servant, so you step back."

Lin Sheng insisted: "Your Highness is an imperial relative, and he is a role model for the world, and etiquette cannot be discarded."

"You are bold." Zhongshun hasn't been taught by someone pointing his nose like this for many years. He used the aura of a prince to scare people away. It's a pity that Lin Sheng is not the little Hanlin who just entered the officialdom as an attendant lecturer. With a strong character, he said to Zhongshun: "My lord, etiquette cannot be discarded."

On the first day Jia Amnesty took office, he didn't want to be disturbed by Zhongshun so that he couldn't gain a foothold. Even if he didn't want to be the right servant, he couldn't be accused of disobedience to the royal family on the first day.I saw him bowing to Zhongshun and saying hello: "Jia Amnesty, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, see the prince."

Zhongshun was taken aback, this is really Jia Amnesty?Seeing that Lin Sheng was still watching, he had no choice but to say, "Excuse me."

The two stopped talking, and King Zhongshun even used the method of man-marking.Lin Sheng really couldn't understand Jia She's rudeness just now, but now seeing that he knows his mistakes and can correct them, and being stared at by Zhong Shunxin made him feel uncomfortable, he said to Jia She: "Since the prince has something to discuss with your lord, I will resign tomorrow. Let’s discuss it with your lord again. My lord, I will leave.”

Zhongshun was eager for this sound, and in order to make people leave quickly, he actually sent Lin Sheng to the door in person, which made Lin Sheng a little flattered, and said that he didn't dare to do it.When the people left, Jia She immediately slumped on the chair, Zhongshun didn't care whether his behavior was in line with etiquette, and only asked him: "Where did you get Prince Ping?"

Jia She said strangely: "I found a teacher for him to learn how to get along with others. Why didn't he tell you?"

"Maybe I told my father." Zhong Shunxin was a little uncertain: "But the person who goes to the study doesn't know. Whom do you find for him, who can be better than the attendant of the Imperial Academy?"

Jia She smiled: "At most, the attendants of the Imperial Academy taught him the Four Books and Five Classics, which is of no use in dealing with people. They say that they read well, but there are still few nerds? I don't care how knowledgeable he is. If he keeps staring at me like this every day, I must be going crazy. The emperor doesn't want to startle the snake, so I let him watch with Jia Zhen and his son, those two people are not very good, they are lazy, playful, playful, bullying, everything is outstanding."

Zhongshun didn't expect him to use Chuanchu like this, he didn't know what King Pingjun could learn, so he was speechless for a while.He also heard Jia She said: "Don't look at Jia Zhen who is ignorant and incompetent, but manages her son like a thief. Let the king of Pingjun see me and know that I just dropped the cup. Don't be too polite. That's right. , You never told me what King Ping is called, next step I want to let him know that this cheap father is not easy to recognize, I always call him King Ping, how can I have the confidence to clean up people."

Zhongshun thought for a while, but still told him: "It is said that Prince Ping's name was left by the former crown prince, and his name is Nian'en."
