Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 582 How can the arm be twisted past the thigh?

Because of this, Jia Rui regards Jia Mu's behavior as taking food from the tiger's mouth.

Jia Rui sat up straight, thought for a moment, then called Lao Li to his side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Lao Li immediately understood and retreated with a smile.

Within a few days, Jia She's memorial asking for the title of Prince Rongguo was already delivered to Jia Rui.

Sure enough, just as Jia Rui got the news, the heir has been designated as Jia Baoyu in the memorial.

Jia Rui looked at the memorial, curled his lips and threw it aside.

And this memorial was somehow leaked out. Within two days, everyone in the court knew that Duke Rong Guo had passed the title to his nephew instead of his son.

This time there was an uproar throughout the whole court.

After all, this kind of thing is not common. Unless Rong Guogong has no heirs, it is normal to pass it on to his nephew. But now Rong Guogong not only has two sons, but also several grandchildren.

There are a lot of dirty things behind him. If they are revealed, there will be no good fruit.

I saw him kneel down to the middle again, and then said: "I impeach the Duke of Rongguo and pardon him, violate the etiquette and law, and disrupt the imperial court."

After all, he is now the Duke of Rongguo and is already a super rank. He is naturally qualified to attend the morning court. In addition, Jia Rui has deliberately guided him during this period, so the brothers Jia Zheng and Jia She also appear early in the morning court every time. a while.

The messy sounds gave Jia Rui a headache, so Jia Rui said from above: "You have to play the music one by one. It's a mess, just like a vegetable market. Are there any rules anymore?"

Then Jia She rolled out of work and knelt down on the ground to kowtow to Jia Rui.

With the words of Jia Rui and the envoy in front of the palace, these people finally calmed down.

"I have my roots."

Therefore, during a morning court meeting a few days later, Jia Rui had just sat on the throne and Qin Shun had just finished shouting, "If you have a book, you will play early, but if you don't, you will leave the court."

Although I don't understand what Rongguo Gong Jia She is doing, the censors at the Yushitai have begun to gear up and prepare to impeach Jia She on this matter.

The censor who finally knelt down finally pushed out a middle-aged official in his forties.

Now that Jia She is the leader, the censors cannot let him go.

Originally, Jia She was planning to have a meal at a famous restaurant in Beijing after the morning court, and go to Cuifang Tower in the afternoon to meet up, but he was almost scared to death by the censor's words.

The old god, Jia She, who was still among the crowd, almost sat on the ground in fright when he heard these words.

"Long live, Weichen, I have always been honest. How could I dare to do such a thing? Please give me a warning."

Under such circumstances, it is incredible to pass the title to his nephew.

Now that the new dynasty has just been established, the Yushitai has not yet established its prestige, and the generals under Jia Rui are all as honest as tortoises, leaving the Yushitai with nothing to do.

That's right, Jia She also started attending the morning court.

At this time, the censor in front of the palace came out and said, "Everyone, please be quiet and don't make any noise. If you make any noise again, you will be expelled from the hall immediately."

In fact, when he said this, Jia She kept beating his heart. If others don't know, doesn't he himself know what he is?

"I have my roots."

Immediately, seven or eight censors knelt out from the class.

Jia Rui pretended to be surprised and looked at the censor below and asked: "Did you all impeach Jia She together?"

"I want to impeach Jia She."

Jia Rui pretended to be interested and asked: "Then what did Jia She do that made people so angry that so many of you impeached him?" In the end, it was the older censor who reported Jia She to General Rong. The matter of giving up the inheritance rights of the government to the second wife was revealed in the main hall.

The two people at the front, Shen Wence and Jia Yucun, looked at each other and then smiled bitterly.

Isn't there anything important going on in the court? This trivial matter was also discussed in the morning.

Jia Rui sat on top and seemed very surprised, "Rongguo Gong, are you really going to give up your title to the second wife as these censors said?"

Jia She knelt there with a look of grievance on his face. Now he could see that the emperor was trying to find a way out for himself, so he followed Jia Rui's words and said:

"This is all decided by the old mother in the family."

If he had said these words elsewhere, there would not have been any problem. After all, Jia She would have nothing to say after being suppressed by filial piety.

But this is above the court, and what we are talking about here is the king, the master, the master of heaven and earth.

You are in front of me.

In other words, when there is a conflict between family affection and monarchy, monarchy must be given priority.

"Bold Jia She, the title is given by the imperial court, and naturally it must be passed down in an orderly manner in accordance with the court rules. How can you let people give it to each other privately?" A young censor jumped up, pointed at Jia She and said.

The ministers all over the court also reacted at this time. They looked at Jia She who was kneeling there with disapproval on their faces.

Because Jia She's actions violated their interests.

If everyone is like Jia She, then the side branches will have an excuse to usurp the rights and wealth of the main branch.

At that time, the interests of these ministers standing here will be threatened.

Jia She is now very good at acting. He knelt there crying and kowtowing, but said nothing else. He looked helpless.

Jia Zheng in the crowd was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he saw this scene.

His eldest brother is also good at acting. Isn't this setting him up for death?

Originally, Jia Zheng had a bad reputation among scholars. If Jia She made such a fuss, his reputation would be ruined on the streets.

Jia Rui sat on it and pretended to think deeply for a while, and finally said: "This matter is unreasonable and I cannot agree to it."

Having said this, Jia Rui stood up from the jade throne, walked a few steps back and forth on the imperial street, and then said with a sharp knife, "I will make the decision today. Jia Lian, the son of Rong Guogong, will be the heir apparent. This matter will not be necessary in the future." Reconsideration."

Jia Zheng in the crowd looked disappointed, but he did not stand up and say anything.

But Jia She kowtowed happily, as if he had picked up a big treasure.

But the envoys below have some ideas. Could it be that the emperor is protecting his relatives and wants to let this matter go gently?
So several young and energetic censors lay there and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, this is unfair."

"Your Majesty, Duke Rong has made a mistake and must not go unpunished."

Seeing that some of the people below were agitated and angry, and there were even a few officials in the crowd who were ready to make a move, Jia Rui could only pretend to be helpless and announce to the people below.

"Rong Guo Gong was often reckless when things happened, which led to today's chaos. Therefore, he was punished to stay in seclusion for three months."

The ministers below finally calmed down, but instead of feeling uncomfortable, Jia She kowtowed happily.

Jia She was a man who had been raised in the Rongguo Mansion. Naturally, he did not want to go out to attend the morning court before dawn every day.

Jia Rui's punishment was simply giving him three months' leave.
