dream of red mansion

Chapter 646 I'm afraid they can't afford it
Three days later.

In the South Study Room of Daming Palace, Emperor Zhengqing read a memorial and threw it aside without giving a reply. When he read it again, he frowned and continued to throw it aside. After doing this several times...

"Snapped……"

Throwing the book on the imperial case, Emperor Zhengqing scolded: "These officials, the situation in the north is getting worse day by day, and natural disasters continue to occur all over the country. I am too busy to deal with these things. They Fortunately, the father of the two imperial concubines was staring at them all day long, whether it was their brothers, the bully, or the embezzler, did they have the Jia family and the Wu family alone in the entire capital?
Go, tell Jia Qing to come in, I want to ask, is there really so much shit going on in their Jia family! "

"Yes"

Dai Quan replied with a bent waist, and slowly withdrew.There was already a smile in his eyes. As the chief eunuch who was in charge of Zhu Pi for Emperor Zhengqing, his duty was to lead his younger brothers to classify the countless memorials from all over the country, which ones only needed to be sent to the cabinet, which ones needed the emperor's personal approval, and which ones needed to be sent to the cabinet. After the cabinet draws up the bill, it will be sent to the emperor for approval...

Therefore, he actually knew the content of the memorial before the emperor.Naturally, the cabinet can make decisions about other minor matters, but how could the cabinet dare to make decisions about the memorials involving the two empresses, of course they all were sent to the South Study Room.

However, for some reason these days, the memorials to impeach the Jia family and the Wu family have been sent in like mountains and seas, and most of them are trivial matters.

It's no wonder that Emperor Zhengqing was impatient, and even swear words came out.

"Weichen see Your Majesty."

After a while, Jia Qing was called in. He was wearing the uniform of Captain Long, apparently he was on duty today.

"Look at all these memorials!"

Emperor Zhengqing pushed with his big hand, and the seven or eight papers from the Jia family were pushed off the court case by him and scattered all over the ground.

Although Emperor Zhengqing's attitude was very bad, Jia Qing didn't mind at all, and picked up the booklet with a smile and read it.

I only read two copies of Jia Qing and stopped reading them. I raised my head and said to Emperor Zhengqing: "Report to Your Majesty, there is no need to read it. These contents are pure nonsense. All the words are false. It is clear that the people who submitted the book had ulterior motives, framed Zhongliang, and slandered me." I suggest that they should all be arrested and punished!"

"Is that so..." Emperor Zhengqing sneered, then pushed down another booklet, and said, "Then what about the people who made these papers? Should they all be arrested and punished?"

Jia Qing was speechless. Although he could guess the content of the new batch of brochures, he could only carefully pick them up and have a look...

He also read two books, then raised his head and said, "I feel that the words of these grown-ups are to the point, and they don't seem to be groundless. I think that your majesty might as well send someone to investigate..."

"Snapped"

"You are so bold!" Emperor Zhengqing slapped the table, walked down, and kicked Jia Qing on the shoulder. Poor Jia Qing had to get up and kneel down again after being beaten.

I just heard Emperor Zhengqing angrily say: "Do you think I'm a fool? It's clear that your two families are playing tricks and making fun of major government affairs! Well, I really want to punish the crimes. The crime of blasphemy!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Zhengqing was overjoyed, and even Dai Quan looked at Jia Qing differently.

"Tell me, where is Zhen Yingming?"

"Your Majesty, you can see at a glance that the impeachment of Weichen's family is the Wu family's trap. The purpose is naturally to discredit our Jia family and make His Majesty have a bad impression of our Jia family, thereby endangering Weichen's sister. His position in the palace is where His Majesty's wisdom lies."

Emperor Zhengqing narrowed his eyes, and said: "You dare to say anything! Then you are admitting that these impeachments of the Wu family were secretly done by your Jia family?"

"Your Majesty is right or wrong...

These papers are indeed written by some adults who have a good relationship with Weichen's family, but I can assure you that they have never framed things randomly, and what they say is based on real evidence, because those criminal evidences were still sent by Weichen to investigate. come...

Your Majesty's forgiveness, it's not that I don't know how to get along with my colleagues, it's really that they deceive people too much!A loyal and honest person like the Second Uncle Weichen, who has been an official for a lifetime and is still a low-ranking fifth grade, finally won the favor of His Majesty, and let him take on a big job. , but at this time, secretly tricked, conspiring against my second uncle, accusing him of corruption and dereliction of duty, it is extremely abhorrent.I have pity on such a humble gentleman like my second uncle, because of this matter, a sad person hid at home and wiped his tears... He is already in his 50s, and I couldn't bear to see him.

But he is my second uncle, so naturally I can't let him be bullied!Although I know very well that with His Majesty's sageness, he will definitely be able to discern the details and return my second uncle's innocence..."

Hearing this, Emperor Zhengqing felt a little ashamed. When someone impeached Jia Zheng, he didn't have any clear lessons, but habitually doubted it.It was only because of the dignity of the concubine that it didn't happen.

Jia Qing continued: "However, I can't stand the villain's cunning, besides, other adults in the court may not have such keen eyesight as His Majesty, so this humble minister thought of an eye for an eye... But don't worry, Your Majesty, Wei The minister is not as smug as they are, who framed things out of thin air, but really investigated and unannounced, and just found out that their family has committed many crimes, and there is evidence in every case!
I originally wanted to report to His Majesty in person, but I also thought that His Majesty might not believe my minister's words!But how do you know that there are so many old-fashioned and warm-hearted adults in the court. After hearing about this, they think it is their duty to report the crime to His Majesty, so they speak to His Majesty!

Your Majesty, I'm guilty, I know that His Majesty has a lot going on every day, so I shouldn't bother Your Majesty with these trivial matters, but they did it first!
Now that His Majesty has seen through, in order to prove who is loyal and who is traitorous, on behalf of the Jia family, I am willing to accept the investigation of the third division of the imperial court. I also implore Your Majesty not to take sides, and also send people to investigate the Wu family. When the investigation results come out, I guarantee that Loyalty and treachery are self-evident, and it is a hundred times stronger than the excuse of the humble minister here. "

Emperor Zhengqing was greatly surprised: "If you are so confident, you are not afraid that the third division will find out the evidence, and the reputation of your century-old government will be ruined by then?"

Jia Qing said viciously: "There is no other way, people have been bullied to the top, if they are still shrunk, it is clear that they are being bullied? Fortunately, the body is not afraid of the shadow, other humble officials can't guarantee that the humble officials and My second uncle is absolutely not afraid of investigation!"

Jia Qing's deadly plan made Emperor Zhengqing a little amused and said, "Even if you and Jia Zheng are innocent, what about the other children of your Jia family?"

Jia Qing didn't mind and said: "Which family doesn't have a few unsatisfactory things. If such things are really found out by the court, your Majesty can rest assured that the humble officials will never protect them. That can be regarded as eliminating harm for the humble officials , I'm not afraid of hurting my feelings, it's too late for my minister to thank the court!"

Dai Quan said admiringly at this time: "General Jia is so righteous, even the old slave is deeply admired."

Emperor Zhengqing said disdainfully: "He is just a good talker."

"Hey, Your Majesty, I don't know if the Wu family has the guts to ask the court to conduct a thorough investigation? It's not that I am aggressive. Since they took the initiative to provoke trouble, I dare to bet my life to play with them. Anyway, in the end With His Majesty's holy order, I am not afraid of unfairness, but I am afraid that they will not be able to afford it..."

Emperor Zhengqing's heart can be imagined when he heard Jia Qing's words of "righteousness and strictness".His mood changed from Jia Zheng's impeachment a few days ago, and his dissatisfaction with Jia Zheng, from the bickering between the two parties in the past few days to impatience, and from this, the balance is now tilting towards the Jia family.

In this world, there is no family that is not afraid of being investigated.Emperor Zhengqing also understood this truth. Jia Qing first proved it with all his strength, and finally he did not hesitate to gamble the wealth and lives of the two families to fight the Wu family to the death.This kind of self-confidence can be infected by anyone.

"Okay, I have my own decision on the affairs of your two families, and you don't have to instigate others to play it! You are a bastard, now that the court is full of internal and external troubles, who is in the mood to listen to these trivial matters of your two families! If you don't restrain yourself, be careful! Send people to search your two families, to really see who is loyal and who is traitor!"

"Uh uh, yes, I understand..." Jia Qing was panic-stricken, with a frightened look on his face.

In fact, it is also true, thorough investigation and inspection do not mean the same thing...

Of course, when Jia Qing proposed a thorough investigation, he said that it was impossible for Emperor Zhengqing to adopt it.Who would want to fight to the death with a small Wu family fish, his Wu family doesn't have the qualifications!

"Okay, remember what I said, get out!"

"As ordered..."

Seeing Jia Qing retreat, Emperor Zhengqing thought for a while, and then said to Dai Quan: "You will go to Wu's house later, and pass on my order to let Wu Tian's family shut their doors and contemplate for a month!"

Dai Quan understood what Emperor Zhengqing meant when he heard it.After what happened to Jia’s family, there should be no more reports like this. Therefore, if Wu Tian’s family is closed for a month, if Wu Tian’s family is smart, he should be able to understand Emperor Zhengqing’s meaning:
Don't bother me anymore!

"Your Majesty, what about these notebooks?"

Dai Quan asked while picking up the folder on the ground.

"It's all left in the middle."

"Yes..." Dai Quan put the notebook on the small table next to him. Seeing that Emperor Zhengqing returned to his seat and continued to critique the notebook, he hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a word from the old slave, and I ask the emperor to clarify. The Jia family and Wu Why did the emperor only punish the Wu family?"

Emperor Zhengqing glanced at him, and said casually: "The empress position has been vacant for many years, and the courtiers have repeatedly asked to be empress. Now among the concubines, Concubine Jia and Concubine Wu rank the highest, and the Jia family and the Wu family are also attacking each other. It's expected. But I don't have the time to deal with these things now, punishing Wu Tian's family, just to let him not make trouble. As for the Jia family, can't you see that the person in charge of the Jia family is now Jia Qing? I mentioned him just now , I believe that the Jia family will die down.

Furthermore, Jia Zheng has been an official in the court for many years. Although he has made no achievements, he has no faults.For Concubine Yuan's sake, I should also give him a promotion. As long as he does not make mistakes, I will naturally not punish him.

As for Wu Tian's family, hmph, I don't even bother to mention someone who doesn't even want to be an official! "

Dai Quan understood, and thought to himself: People don't want to be an official, but they don't want to be a petty official...

Jia Cunzhou, Jia Cunzhou, it seems that your insistence on being the lowest official in the imperial court for 20 years is not in vain, at least in the eyes of His Majesty today, you are a diligent and usable person.

　Bottom, just the bottom of the court, just entered the palace.Going out, Jia Zhengguan is still not too young.
