Winning every step of the Red Mansion

"Is today's matter settled?" Seeing Jia Amnesty's return, Shi Feier asked directly without waiting for him to greet him.

"The matter of the false accusation should be settled. But today in the courtroom, I will report it to the officials. Let the governor of the capital, Liang Shu, find out who is behind the scenes and plotting against us."

Hearing this, Shi Feier breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't know how effective the report will be, and when will there be results?"

"Old lady, I advise you not to pay too much attention to the result of today's matter." Jia She's face was quite decadent, "Although it is reported to the official, what's the use? In the courtroom today, I see that Liang Shu is timid and cautious. It's not that he can't stop this matter, nor does he have the power to perceive and understand. It's just that this person is too slippery and only cares about protecting himself. If you want to use his power to find out the ins and outs of this matter, I'm afraid Absolutely impossible."

"How do you say that?" Shi Fei'er was a little confused.

"Old lady, it means that you are not in court today. If you are in court, you will understand at a glance. Although our Jia family can be regarded as a dignitary, but after all, it is worse than this prince. Just wait. This case is not complicated. If you put in a little more effort, it will be easier to judge the right and wrong. But in my opinion, his efforts are not used in this case at all. Instead, he focuses on how to not offend both sides. Both sides have lost their benefits. Otherwise, whoever is upright and upright, how can today's incident happen?"

Shi Fei'er listened and also sighed.I don't understand the way of being an official, after all, I am just an ordinary person in this world.Even if you watch the news, watch TV, or read novels, how can you understand the minds of those officials.These novels and television usually simplifies complex things.But I understand that people are the most complicated and the most difficult to understand.There are mutual calculations among this family, let alone outsiders who already have conflicts of interest with you?

Seeing that Jia's mother was silent, her face was solemn.Jia She was afraid that he would worry too much, so he hurriedly said: "The old lady should not worry about this matter. Now that this matter is over, there is no need to care about the people behind the scenes. It will not increase your troubles. Lao Yueshan said, anyway, so what if you know, It doesn’t matter if you figure it out, it doesn’t mean you won’t be counted. Rather than caring about who is plotting, it’s better to learn how to avoid it.”

This remark stunned Shi Feier.Is this avoidance a one-and-done solution?Shouldn't it be to find the person behind the scenes and announce it to the public as an example?Why do I have to suffer from being dumb, and have to work so hard to avoid it?

Jia Amnesty seemed to see Jia Mu's mind: "This step back is not a sign of weakness, but a statement of position. I can retreat, but there is still a bottom line. If the bottom line is not reached, let's bear it for now. But if the bottom line is touched, there is no need to stop Forbearance, old and new grudges will be settled together."

Shi Fei'er asked Huang Li to serve some tea, and asked Jia She to sit down and said slowly, "Now my son is getting more and more prosperous. I don't quite understand what you are saying."

"The old lady made fun of me again. I also know that the old lady is as clear as a mirror in her heart. Although she is quite angry about this matter, think about it, old lady, if we insist on this matter, even if it comes to light, we want to Those who move Jia's mansion must have a backer? Otherwise, where would they have the guts? When the current situation breaks out, it is inevitable to ask the Holy One to make a decision. If it is a courtier, it will be fine, and the worst is to fight [-] big boards each. But if it is like four kings and eight The prince or the prince has made this backing. There is a reason in the house, and the holy judgment must be weighed carefully. If the Sacred Heart is biased after weighing it, wouldn't it be easy to find a fault in the house?"

Shi Feier nodded after hearing this, if the prince and ministers were to choose the emperor, don't think about it, the emperor would naturally favor his son.If it gets to the point of the Holy Judgment, there will be no way out.Now it seems that it is not easy to be an official in the court. It is much harder to be a fair, honest and upright official than to be a traitorous and corrupt official.

Shi Feier thought about it again, but Jia Amnesty said that he had reported to the official today, and Liang Shu needed to be investigated no matter what. "You said that you have reported to the official today, so why doesn't Liang Shu check it out?"

"Of course we need to investigate, but it is estimated that the fainted fake Wang Cong may not be able to stand the torture in a few days. As for the brother-in-law of Bu Shiren who surrendered himself to poisoning, he may have an old disease in prison, and a medicine stone will not work. Check. After many investigations, there is no evidence, but the final conclusion is that he harbored a grudge against the old affairs of the mansion and intentionally framed them. Now that the matter has been revealed, he is afraid of being punished by the national law, and he died for various reasons." Jia She spread his hands and said, "In a few days, Mr. Liang will definitely come to visit and say that this case was done in collusion by this arrogant person, and he has not found out who is behind the scenes, so the case will be closed."

"That's okay?"

"Why don't you wait a few days, old lady?" Jia She said with a sneer, "After today's incident, I have fully understood. No matter how good the reputation of this mansion is, it can't stand up to other people's elaborate schemes. They plot against you, first of all. There is indeed something to gain, and secondly, you can't beat him. I thought about taking good care of this general's mansion, and handing it over to Hu'er in a proper manner. The family is rich inside, and the mansion is famous outside. That’s right. Now I feel that I’m thinking superficially. At least there should be a place above the court.”

Shi Fei'er was already shocked at this time, I don't know how much Jia She was stimulated by this incident today, so he made this speech. "How do you think you have a place in the court?" Shi Feier asked.

"It's fine if the people above the court speak loudly."

Shi Fei'er didn't want to talk to Jia Amnesty at this time.I also hate the false accusations on the stall.It's just that if this matter aroused Jia She's ambition to enter politics, Shi Fei'er didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.It has never been easy to stand in line and choose sides. If one is not careful, the whole family may be involved.Because Jia Amnesty is still angry today, even if he persuades him now, it will not be effective, let's talk about it in a few days.

Jia Amnesty went back to the mansion and reported the situation to Jia Mu, and went to Zhang's mansion early the next morning to thank his family, Lao Yueshan.

"This time, I would like to thank Lao Yueshan for his action. If Lao Yueshan was not willing to present the authentic work, I am afraid that this matter will not be settled today."

Mr. Zhang Nianxu shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm willing to make a decision on this matter, but I just think it's quite a coincidence. This move is nothing more than a way to avoid disaster in the officialdom for a long time." Mr. Zhang said with a smile: "I have always said that this disaster comes from the sky. Surrender, it doesn't make sense."

"My father-in-law is too modest. If I were to be my son-in-law, I wouldn't make such a decision. Anyway, I don't want to part with it. After all, this Sichuan plain post is too precious."

"I told you that day that no matter how good this treasure is, it is still a dead thing. If you use a dead thing to bind a living person, it should be wrong. You said that you are reluctant to part with the treasure, and in all honesty, I wouldn't let it go." Give up. But if this thing affects your life, why not give up? What's more, there is a whole family of old and young behind you."

"What my father-in-law said is very true, although I can't fully understand it. But now I have more decisions. Today I have another request in the mansion, and I hope Lao Yueshan will give me a helping hand."

Hearing what Jia She said, Mr. Zhang was a little surprised: "Why do you want to ask? Just say it."

"Father-in-law, I want to find an official position that is really lacking. Although I have a title now, it is only a vacant position. Lao Yueshan has been in the ups and downs of his life, and he has a lot of insights. I hope Lao Yueshan will point out the way for my son-in-law."

"Today is strange. In the past, you once said to me that the greatest wish in this life is to be a wealthy and idle person. It is a merit to guard the mansion by yourself and pass on the inheritance of the ancestors. Why did you suddenly have such a thing today?" idea."

Jia She smiled and said: "My old father-in-law doesn't know something. What you said to me that day benefited my son-in-law a lot. Now that I have experienced this incident, I feel that it is a beautiful thing to stand in the court. If I can stand in the court He speaks so loudly that he will not be manipulated by others."

Mr. Zhang nodded with a smile: "You think so. Now I don't know whether to praise you as a tiger father without a dog, or if you don't know how to be fearless." After a pause, Mr. Zhang continued: "I let you bear, you Well done. But you have a hard time in your heart, and I understand that. But is it not easy to stand tall and not fall down, and to speak loudly? Let me ask you, how do you compare with your father? ?”

"Why does the old man ask such a question? The son-in-law still has some self-knowledge, so he is naturally not as good as my father."

"Then let me ask you again, how do you think your father compares to your grandfather?"

"Well," Jia Amnesty hesitated a little, "my father was also awarded the title because of my grandfather, so naturally it is not easy to compare with my grandfather."

"Let me tell you frankly that in the past, your grandfather couldn't speak loudly even in the court. Now what do you think will happen if you have a real job?"

"If there is a real-time official position and improvement, it may change a thing or two."

"That's not a bad idea. It's worthy of your father to ask for a seal for you if you still have this thought. But look at these four kings and eight princes, how many of them are in real positions?"

Jia Amnesty was naturally taken aback, and after briefly reviewing the situation of the four princes and eight princes' heirs, he became a little frustrated.This previous ambition has also been reduced a lot: "Then according to what Lao Yueshan said, we can only wait for the descendants of the four kings and eight princes to take advantage of the shadow of our ancestors. If you want to make contributions and regain the glory of the past, is it like fishing for a moon in water? "

"There is a saying in the historical records: when the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks. Do you remember? Besides, which of these four kings and eight fathers did not have great military exploits? But the more so, the easier it is for the Holy One to be jealous. He's a smart one, paving the way for you two brothers, but he told me that he doesn't ask you to wait for riches and riches, but only asks for peace, so that Jia's family will be passed on to successors." Mr. Zhang said with a smile: "In the old days, you were a playboy. Your brother likes to learn and strive for advancement, so your father wrote a letter begging him to find a job for him when he was dying. But it should also be said that your brother is a blessed one, who doesn't understand the rules of the officialdom, so he can get along safely without being promoted for many years."

These words really hit Jia Amnesty a lot.It is true that I have the heart to yearn for the court because I am not angry.Thinking about it carefully, it is exactly as my father-in-law said, there are not many princes and eight princes who actually hold military power, and now there are some brave and good fighters among the princes.Where would it be easy to release the military power that was so easily taken back.
