Chapter 481 What kind of dismissal from office and reduction of power is this?
As a junior, no matter how dissatisfied Jia Cong is with the old lady's preference for the second wife, he has no right or qualification to criticize the old lady, and even his father, Jia She, can't.
At the beginning, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the first prince was "disliked" by the palace. Under normal circumstances, the former prince's confidants would have been blessed by the grace of a saint if they were not killed by the new king.
The old lady placed her hopes on the "Junzi Sword" Jia Zheng...the second son of a benevolent gentleman. This is what the old lady of the government should do.
No one would have thought that there would be Emperor Yuanyou in Daxia. The stubborn fourth boy would not follow the ordinary path. He did not care at all about the taboos of the past dynasties.
As long as you have talent and good character, this man will be a meritocracy and will not forget past grievances.
When Jia Cong and I were reinstated by the emperor, the old lady was probably confused and at a loss.
Jia Cong thinks that he has done a good job. In terms of filial piety, the father and son of his eldest son are among the best in the capital. No one can fault them at all.
As for the estrangement between grandparents and grandchildren that the old lady said, there may be one, but that’s not important...
"Forget it, let's not talk about the past, and don't think about useless things anymore."
Jia Cong helped the tired old lady lie down and squeezed the corner of the quilt: "Our family is prosperous now. Both my father and my second uncle have their own futures. Especially the second brother Bao, in Shilin The reputation of a sincere gentleman has spread to the south of the Yangtze River, and the reputation of a sincere gentleman has spread to the south of the Yangtze River. Who can't help but praise him as a good young master? So, you can enjoy your wealth in peace, and we will take care of the outside affairs."
This is not Jia Cong's accusation that Sang scolded Huai and said that the old lady took too much care. He sincerely wanted the old lady to take a rest and enjoy her happiness.
Whether it's good or bad these years, the old lady has shouldered the pressure for the Jia family for several years. Without her, in the early years of Yuanyou, Ning and Rong's family still don't know whether they could have persisted.
Jia Cong stuffed the roster into his lapel, patted it and said, "My grandson won't be able to use this roster for the time being. But it's okay to leave it with me first. In the future, no matter it's my second brother or anyone else, as long as it belongs to our family When people are in need, my grandson will pick out a few people to hand over to him.”
This roster was the last responsibility of the old lady. When she saw Jia Cong put it away and said these words, the old lady felt that the stone that had been weighing on her heart for ten years had finally fallen to the ground.
She took Jia Cong's hand and held it tightly, but did not speak.
Jia Cong spoke again: "My grandson understands and will deal with these matters with caution. Don't worry, our Jia family's wealth will continue to grow. My grandson is confident that we can create a thousand-year-old family for our family."
He put the old lady's arms into the quilt, pinched the corners of the quilt, and said goodbye to the old lady.
When Yuanyang entered the inner hall again, he saw the old lady lying on her side, staring blankly in the direction of the door.
"Ancestor, the night is already very late, you'd better go to bed early."
As the mandarin duck broke the silence in the room, the old lady came back to her senses.
She asked abruptly: "Yuanyang, tell me, is it right for me to hand over the Jia family into Brother Cong's hands?"
Yuanyang added charcoal to the stove and responded with a smile: "Didn't you make your decision a long time ago? When the third master was raising money to set up a bead market, you took out all the money at the bottom of the box without hesitation. That At that time, you had already decided that the third master is the future of our family, although you often did not give the master and the third master a good look. But I know that you have chosen the third master. "
"You are really the roundworm in my belly. I can't hide anything from you."
The old lady smiled, Yuanyang's words spoke to her heart.
Everyone said that she preferred the second wife, which was a fact she did not deny.
But since Dafang was commissioned by the emperor and Jia Cong became the favored wife of the Second Saint, she, the old lord of the Jia family, has been diverting her family's property and heritage to Dafang.
Including staying away from her natal family, the two princes of the Shi family, falling out with the Wang family, and breaking up with the Zhen family. These things are all manifestations of the old lady secretly transferring power to the big family.
Now that the big house has been chosen, everything from the Wang family to the Zhen family, including Concubine Zhen in the palace, must be separated.
Whether it was money or power in the government, the old lady had secretly moved to the big house little by little, so that Jia She and his son would have enough confidence no matter what they did.
When people discovered that the relationship between her eldest son and her had eased, she had already secretly visited Chencang and successfully changed the Jia family's family structure.
……
After Jia Cong returned to the house, he hid the roster and went to sleep.
But the lights were still on in the room of Jia Lian and his wife. Qiqi was taken away by Master Pardon today, but the two of them did not fall in love with each other. After all, Wang Xifeng's belly was getting bigger again.
However, the couple didn't have much sleepiness, especially Wang Xifeng, who resented the old lady for leaving Jia Cong alone.
But she didn't dare to show it in front of her husband. If the elders mistakenly thought that she was trying to instigate feelings between brothers, the family rules and laws were very strict. Even if she married into the Jia family for ten years, she wouldn't be able to escape.
Wang Xifeng asked tentatively: "Why do you think the old lady left Brother Cong alone?"
Jia Lian's big hands kneaded and kneaded his wife's soft parts, feeling addicted to it.
After hearing the inquiry, he replied nonchalantly: "What else can I do? I just tell my third brother about opening a government office. You don't really think that the old lady is a housewife who doesn't worry about anything, do you? Except for Baoyu, What happened, the old lady is this..."
Jia Lian had a free hand and extended his thumb: "If those two historians had half the wisdom of the old lady, they would not have their homes confiscated and exiled."
Just kidding, when the old lady's IQ reaches the high ground, she can make all the women in the palace of the four princes and eight princes play around. This is what I said personally.
As he spoke, Jia Lian's other hand became slightly stronger, and Wang Xifeng squeaked: "I'm just thinking about this. Think about it, how many times has this happened? Look at the box of beads on the table. A while ago, the old lady left Brother Cong alone and gave him the money from the bottom of the box to run a pearl shop in the south. In the subsequent times, how often did I not give money to others for the shop? I don't worry about the old lady. Give all the good properties of Rongguo Mansion to Brother Cong?"
Jia Lian, who originally had a smile on his face, suddenly turned dark.
He took out his big hand from the soft part, sat up, and stared at his wife coldly.
"Feng'er, what exactly are you going to say?"
When Wang Xifeng saw Jia Lian's cold eyes, her heart suddenly thumped, but she still insisted on her idea.
"I'm not worried about you damn devil, and the son in my belly... There are only so many properties in this house, and they will be distributed to the second uncle and the others in the future. The old lady has repeatedly sent good things to the third brother, you Aren’t you worried that you will only receive an empty shell in the future?”
Humans, who doesn’t have some selfishness?
Wang Xifeng really didn't say anything to Sanchun, Jia Cong and other brothers and sisters.
She has always used money to stop troubles since she was a child, and she is truly a good sister-in-law.
But when it came to the distribution of family property, the old lady's behavior made Wang Xifeng feel quite uncomfortable.
Jia Lian also understood that his wife had no intention of encouraging his brothers to fight against each other, so his tone softened.
"You are confused!" He lay down again, took Wang Xifeng into his arms, and talked about the mystery in detail.
"Think about it carefully, is the third child a greedy person? Who was the first person who thought about what good things he had when he was a child? When the Second Saint gave the reward, who did he give the most to? Isn't it you?"
After her husband's reminder, Wang Xifeng also remembered what happened in her early years. There was a look of shame on her face, but she still said reluctantly: "Then...then the old lady can't go beyond me and give all the good things to the third child."
Jia Lian's hands began to roam around the smooth place again, and he whispered in Wang Xifeng's ear: "The old lady is very smart. Everything she gives to the third brother is used to strengthen the Jia family. Make beads for the silver." The reason for going to the shop is to repay the shortfall, and to the old shopkeeper who borrowed the help of his third brother to rectify the old shopkeeper..."
At the end of the conversation, Jia Lian repeatedly warned: "If you don't understand, just remember this sentence. The third brother is a hereditary and irreplaceable prince. In the future, he may be the next British prince. Our sons and grandsons must rely on him." He is my third uncle. Even if the old lady gives me a little more money now, what's the point?"
Wang Xifeng listened to this. She still understood the weight of a prince and the status of a British duke.
However, Wang Xifeng believed that her men were no worse than the third brother. She smiled coquettishly, bit her ear and said, "I still feel that I am no worse than the third brother. What difficulty will the future Duke Rong have in protecting his descendants?"
Hahahahaha~
Jia Lian laughed and used his hands to roam around his wife's delicate body. He did not refute Wang Xifeng's words.
His family knew about his family affairs, and sometimes he was jealous of his third brother's holy family. But...
"Let me tell you, the future of Third Brother is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Do you know what the Grand Prime Minister told His Majesty about Third Brother?"
"Grand Prime Minister? Mr. Zhou Ge?"
Jia Lian shook his head: "Old Prime Minister Wei... who is Prime Minister Wei? His words once made the third brother fly into the sky or fall into hell. But it was those words that made the two saints gamble. I took a gamble and finally won the bet."
Wang Xifeng felt itchy and uncomfortable, and gently bit Jia Lian's earlobe.
"I know how to whet people's appetites. What exactly did Mr. Wei say? It's up to you to tell me!"
Jia Lian chuckled and whispered: "After the great dynasty meeting in the sixth year of Yuanyou, Prime Minister Wei had a secret discussion with the sage, saying that the third brother might be a hero in troubled times, which would overthrow the country. Or he might be a capable minister in governing the country, who could bring great changes to the country. Forever.”
Ah!
Wang Xifeng was really scared this time, a hero in troubled times? The Second Saint did not cut off this variable with a single blow!
"You're surprised. I was also shocked when I first learned about this. Therefore, the saint and your majesty are both wise kings through the ages, especially the saint. He dared to bet on this... including the fact that the precious jade was born with jade in it. That incident, Baoyu can survive to this day, the saint's mind is indeed broad."
At this time, Wang Xifeng's mind kept thinking, Grandpa Tian, there is such a big secret in the third child.
The saint and the emperor are so broad-minded that they can let Baoyu, a big taboo, and Cong brother, a variable, lively and active until now, and they have been reused.
Jia Lian said with emotion: "Later, the saint specially sent an edict to me and my father to go to the Huangji Palace to tell the matter. He wanted to train Brother Cong to be the next Wei Wenzheng. No, it should be the next Wei Wenzheng and the British Duke holding a golden mace." collection.”
……
As soon as the twelfth lunar month arrives, snowflakes arrive as promised.
The capital has not become less lively because of the snow. The people who have worked hard for a year are feeling proud before the new year is approaching.
As soon as the morning bell rang, a large number of merchants poured into the capital. The streets were lined with stalls of various sizes, selling and shouting, which made the New Year's Eve arrive in the capital at least half a month in advance.
At the great court meeting on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Jia Cong's official position was adjusted again.
In the name of Jia Cong's good fortune, the emperor gave him the title of Minister of Household Affairs and joined the cabinet.
At this point, Jia Cong's official status has reached an astonishing level.
Fengtian Yiyun pushed Cheng Yongfeng County Marquis, and it was not said whether he was a military minister of Xuanli or a civil servant of Shouzheng. Therefore, Brother Cong could repeatedly jump between civil and military affairs.
The second rank is Zhengzhi Shangqing, and he is actually the right minister of the Ministry of Work. He also holds the title of Minister of Rites and Minister of War, and concurrently serves as the director of the Political and Educational Department of the Royal Armed Forces Academy.
With the Wensan rank of the second grade, he is in charge of the most important weapon workshop of the Ministry of Industry, and is also in charge of foreign affairs, and has the power to recommend and teach martial arts.
At the same time, Jia Cong also had Wu San rank, a second-grade hussar general, who was led by the prince's left guard and was in charge of half of the six-ranked guards in the East Palace. He was also appointed as a good general of Habayashi, with the authority to command half of Habayashi's generals.
The most important thing is that this boy now still has the power to open a government office, has civil and military power, and is the next British prince.
No, the British public does not have the power to control civil servants.
The emperor has not decided to give Jia Cong a title of civil and military, so what exactly is he going to do? Except for Jia She and his son, who really know the inside story, no one in the civil and military dynasties can guess the mystery.
"Cai Ke, the doctor in the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, has a plan to report!"
"allow!"
Encouraged by a small group of people, Cai Ke came out, took his fluorene plate and bowed: "Your Majesty, the talent of Marquis Yongfeng is known to the world, but when a person is exhausted, Marquis Yongfeng is still a human being after all. My child, it is time for him to grow up... I believe that your majesty should take some of the unimportant burdens off of Marquis Yongfeng as appropriate, so that he can concentrate on one thing and serve your majesty."
"What Aiqing said makes sense!"
The emperor's words made Cai Ke very happy. He didn't expect it to be so easy...
"Let's do this, Jia Cong..."
Jia Cong immediately took a step forward and bowed to accept the promise.
I just heard the emperor say: "It has been three months since I granted you the right to open a government office and build a government office. You already know what to do. Today, I will give up your titles of Minister of Works, Ministry of War, and Minister of Household Affairs... …”
Wow~
There was an uproar in the Fengtian Palace. The title of Minister of Household Affairs on Jia Cong was just decreed. How long has it been gone?
The minister of the Ministry of Industry is gone. Who will take over the weapons workshop, that big fat piece of meat?
"It has been a hundred years since the founding of the Xia Dynasty. The official system established at the time of the founding of the country is often out of date. I want to reform the official system. Officials of the fifth rank and above in Beijing, whether civil or military, will each give me a zhezi in the last month of this year. , talk about your views.”
"Before the reform of the official system is completed, the smelting, shipbuilding, and weapons manufacturing of the Ministry of Industry should not be changed, and they will be temporarily controlled by the Yongfeng Marquis Mansion."
The emperor then added: "The tax reform and the policy of clearing land ownership must continue to be promoted. Jia Cong is the best at wealth and wealth matters, and this matter has been handed over to the Yongfeng Marquis Mansion. Jia Cong, I grant you the right to make arbitrary decisions when the opportunity arises. Do it well and don’t let me and all your beloved ones down!"
The ministers were shocked!
Cai Ke was also shocked. He wanted the emperor to remove Jia Cong from several official positions and cut off some of his power.
But what kind of removal from office and reduction of power is this?
