Immortality starts from the Red Mansion

Chapter 68 The Situation of the Jia Mansion
Qing Lingzi gathered his thoughts and then said, "Your Majesty, I have two foolish opinions.

The most harmful thing to the imperial court today is that the major sects of cultivation do not respect the law and rogue practitioners act recklessly.

If your majesty is willing to use some of his ghost and god positions as bait, I am willing to come forward and unite with people of the same faith to form a force of practitioners loyal to the imperial court.

When the time comes, it will be a piece of cake to intimidate the various sects and suppress the lawless cultivators. "

Emperor Longqing was delighted, "What the real person said is very good, just like if someone is willing to be loyal to the imperial court, I will not hesitate to reward him.

When the time comes when the great cause is accomplished, the real person should take the lead. "

After receiving the emperor's affirmation, Qing Lingzi's fat face smiled so hard that he could hardly see his eyes.

“Your Majesty, there is one more thing. To support the monks and the Netherworld Dragon Court, one must have strong national destiny dragon energy.

The great Chu court had a lot of luck.In this way, if we can't open source, we can only reduce expenditure. "

Qing Lingzi's eyes became sinister, "Your Majesty, those officials whose bodies are lying bare are too noble. The Yinshi Longting is the foundation of Chu's inheritance for thousands of years. These officials and nobles are not good for Your Majesty's great cause."

Emperor Longqing's expression was dull, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking, "Master, you first recruit practitioners for me and suppress illegal cultivators.

I have my own concerns about the affairs of the imperial court. "

Taoist Qing Lingzi felt a chill in his heart. He didn't dare to say anything anymore and quickly thanked him and left.

"It seems it's time to take action. My father is now in his final years, and many powers have been transferred to me. There is no need to endure it any longer!"

Emperor Longqing's eyes flashed with ambition, and his majesty became more and more intense, "Here comes someone!"

"Your Majesty, this old slave is here." Qiu Shi'an bent over and trotted in.

"I'm very happy today. I'm going to get some exquisite side dishes and boil a pot of old wine." Emperor Longqing was in a good mood.

Seeing the emperor's rare happiness, Qiu Shi'an also became happy. When his master is happy, he can serve him well.

One night passed, and in the morning of the next day, Emperor Longqing was furious in the court hall, reprimanding some nobles for not knowing how to contribute to the country and acting recklessly.

The civil servants got the signal, and in the next few days, dozens of memorials were sent to impeach the nobles.

In such an atmosphere, the princes of the Manchu Dynasty were trembling with fear. They wanted to see the Supreme Emperor, but they were blocked by the imperial army, saying that the Supreme Emperor was still ill and could not work hard.

If it were in the past, these nobles would not be able to fight.But now that the spiritual energy has revived, the imperial court has used dragon energy as bait to recruit many monks, which are completely beyond the reach of nobles.

An atmosphere of despair spread among the nobles, and many of them were smart and began to desperately show their loyalty to Emperor Longqing.

Not even two days after the civil servants saw the joke, the Jinyi Guards were dispatched. They didn't give the so-called Qingliu a chance and directly captured a few big rats.

Only then did the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty understand that Emperor Longqing wanted to use his own efforts to remove the obstacles to his centralization of power.

However, Emperor Longqing did not kill them all. As long as his character was acceptable, he was not too greedy, and he was willing to show his loyalty with his actual actions, he was still willing to give him a chance.

Even so, Emperor Longqing was already making a lot of money, which made him both happy and hateful.

"You are really a good minister of mine." Emperor Longqing looked at the list handed over by Jin Yiwei.The combined property of several civil servants exceeds 300 million taels in cash alone, and each family has more than [-] acres of fertile land.

The emperor's eyes were about to burst into flames, "He even dared to hand out money for disaster relief and money for purchasing weapons and armor. Just like this, he still dared to say it in front of me every day
I used to favor civilian officials and use civil servants to control military forces, but it seems there is still a problem. "

Emperor Longqing now also somewhat understood why the Supreme Emperor valued honor so much, and there was a reason.In the following days, Emperor Longqing adjusted his strategy and accepted the support of several nobles with good reputations.

Of course, there are also a few blind people who are destined to be killed to scare the monkeys, otherwise how can they show the majesty of Emperor Longqing.

Rongning Street and Rongguo Mansion were no longer as lively as they used to be. Ever since the fall of the Wang family, Mrs. Wang was deprived of her royal title and she basically withdrew from the circle of top nobles.

Even after Jia She's death, Jia Lian got a big advantage, succeeded in seizing the title, and was canonized as a third-class mighty general, but it could not change the reality of the decline of Rongguo Mansion.

The Rongning and Ning mansions have actually been ostracized by the four princes and eight princes, and many cooperations have bypassed these two princely mansions.

Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion is still the same indulgent person even without Qin Keqing.

Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and his wife of Rongguo Mansion now have control of the power. The second room where Jia Zheng lives, if not for Jia's mother's partiality, would have been divided long ago.

But no matter how proud Wang Xifeng is, he will still be angry when faced with the current predicament.

"If this continues, when will it end?" Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth with hatred.

"Concubine Yuan is not able to do anything in the palace. Those little eunuchs come to borrow money more and more frequently. They ask for Qian'er 800 taels, but they are slow to give it and they are embarrassed."

Jia Lian, who was sitting opposite Wang Xifeng, was also speechless. In the past few years, the harvest in Zhuangzi was getting worse year by year.

Even if Jia Lian went to Zhuangzi with his soldiers last year, he only asked the Wu brothers to come up with an extra 3000 taels.

For the huge expenses of the Duke's government, this can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

"Second Master Lian, I think it's better to give out the second room. They just ask for money, but they won't be willing to take out any money from their own private treasury." Wang Xifeng said with a stern look on her face.

Jia Lian sighed, "It's not like I didn't want to, but the old lady didn't want to. If pressed, she would go to the palace to see the Queen with her order, and the matter would become a big deal."

"This won't work, that won't work! The old lady just prefers Baoyu. The family is in such a bad situation, and she still wants to leave her family wealth to this bastard." Sister Feng was furious.

Now that Jia Lian is attacking Jue, Sister Feng no longer has to coax Baoyu like before.

Now she is looking at Jia Baoyu more and more dissatisfied. He is already 16 years old, and he still clings to the old lady all day long, acting like a spoiled brat, or hanging out among the maids.

The most important thing is that Jia's mother is only willing to use her own family wealth to subsidize Jia Baoyu, and does not care about the embarrassing situation in the house.

Jia Lian rubbed his head and said, "Don't be impatient for now, I haven't been to Brother Hui's place for some time.

I hope he can remember his old relationship and give me some guidance. "

Wang Xifeng was also pleasantly surprised when she heard this, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, you and Brother Hui had a relationship that day, otherwise it would be difficult to come to the door.

I met Baochai a few days ago. She is now running the elixir shop for Master Jia, and she only earns 3 to [-] taels of silver a month.

The situation of the Xue family is much better than before. Even Brother Xue has married a virtuous wife and fewer people go out to hang out.

Second Master Lian, as long as you say good things to Master Jia and get some elixirs, wouldn't it be a huge profit? "

Jia Lian looked at Sister Feng who was daydreaming there, but her mood was not so optimistic. "You wait at home for the information first, and I'll go check on the situation."
