Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 246
As the days passed, the nightmare turmoil gradually subsided, and people in the mansion gradually calmed down, but there would always be people discussing something in private, which was unavoidable. The daily life in the deep house compound was nothing more than gossip.

Jia Ying didn't pay attention to these things, and the masters in the mansion just pretended they didn't hear it, and time will slowly heal everything.

Prince Teng was promoted to governor, not a simple governor of the Nine Borders Military. The former Governor of Nine Borders sounded like a big official, but he only had the right of temporary restraint during wartime, which involved major military transfers or personnel affairs. Appointment and dismissal, without the Ministry of War's nod, I'm afraid Wang Ziteng will not be able to command a soldier or a soldier. After all, it is a purely military post, and it is somewhat honorable.

Governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, this is Prince Tengxin's official title.

The errand of the governor of Quan Jiubian has not been removed, and the governor of Shanshan and Shaanxi has been newly added. The governor is in charge of military affairs, and the governor is in charge of government affairs. It is real power to be a proper feudal official in Xinjiang.

The reason why Wang Ziteng was promoted to governor was because someone made way for him.

Ye Baichuan, governor of Shanshan and Shanxi, was recalled to the capital. He was appointed to the Hall of Martial Arts and given the title of minister.

Ye Baichuan's dismissal last time was more like a paid vacation. He went out for a while, and came back to be promoted smoothly.

This time, no one in the DPRK and China can object, or even manipulate.

Looking at the current cabinet layout, one can understand that although Fu Donglai is the second assistant, he is in control of the power, and the position of the helm of the New Deal is secure.

Among the six departments, the household department is his base camp. Yan Huasong, Minister of the Ministry of war, has already voted for it, and now the two have cooperated with each other tacitly.

The Minister of Rites is Feng Hengshi. As long as it is beneficial to the New Deal, he will not oppose it. How can Fu Donglai be the leader of the New Deal? Regarding the two of them, allies dare not say anything, but they are definitely not enemies.

Li Qian'an, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, seemed to be closer to the Li family, but it was only closer. Now he is Cao and Han, no one can say for sure.

As far as Jia Ying knew, Qian Wenli, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, was a proper member of Li Dang, and he himself was the son-in-law of an honorable man. It stands to reason that he should be implicated, but now he still sits firmly in the sky. official position.

It is said that Wang Ziteng exerted his strength, and there seemed to be a shadow of the trusting chief assistant.

It seems that Wang Ziteng formed an alliance with Yang Jing on behalf of Xungui.

As for why Wang Ziteng does not follow Fu Donglai, but Yang Jing, Jia Ying has also seriously thought about this issue.

He can understand things, but he doesn't believe that Wang Ziteng and those honorable ones are all understanding people. Maybe what is involved here is a bit complicated.

Or maybe, compared to Fu Donglai, Yang Jing, who once belonged to Li Dang's wing, can give the nobles a sense of security.

Or maybe, Xungui wants other ideas?Who is right.

In short, compared with Fu Donglai, who is extremely powerful, it seems easier for nobles to have an equal dialogue with Yang Jing, and Yang Jing also intends to accept Li Dang's legacy.

The palace should have acquiesced, otherwise Qian Wenli's seat would have been lost long ago.

The Ministry of Industry was originally Li Endi's territory, but now that Li Endi has retired, the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry can finally hold his head up high. As for where he will stand, so far, there is no clear sign.

In this way, Fu Donglai controls the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War, and has a good relationship with the Ministry of Rites.

On the contrary, Yang Jing, the chief assistant, was a little inexplicably embarrassed, and there was only one official minister under his command.

The remaining two six yamen remain neutral for the time being, but this neutral situation will not last long, and sooner or later they will have to choose sides, or the minister will have to change.

In any case, the Great Qian Dynasty was the first of its kind in the Jiade Dynasty. The power of the second minister of the cabinet actually overwhelmed that of the chief minister. When he was an ordinary cabinet minister, Yang Jing could only quietly be the mouthpiece. The old capital has become the chief assistant, and I am afraid that the words "megaphone" will still not be washed away.

As for Gu Chunting, a bachelor of Dongge University, he can only be regarded as a make-up for at least two years.

Under such circumstances, who can stop Ye Baichuan from returning?

Jia Ying himself is also facing a choice. Feng Yankuan's wings can no longer protect him when the official has made it this far. Don't look at his official as a member of the Ministry of War, but look at it, there are still people in the court. Is the second military member Gairo like him?

In the eyes of many people, Jia Ying is destined to have a place in the officialdom in the future, and even occupy a huge weight.

It is impossible for such a person to live in peace.

Chu Dayou still didn't give up trying to win him over. After returning to Beijing for more than a month, he had posted three posts, but he pushed them all over.

After leaving the Hanlin Academy, everyone is no longer a fellow traveler, and they must be careful in what they say and do.Pushing it away, at most it will make the other party feel unhappy, and as time goes by, they will become alienated.

But if he really went, what should he do if the other party asked him to choose on the wine table?It just adds to the embarrassment, so it is not impossible to turn against each other.

What Jia Ying didn't expect was that Gu Chunting also posted a post for him, but the place was not a restaurant, but invited him to the house for a talk.

Why, it is naturally not difficult to guess.

This was the first time that Gu Chunting sent him an invitation, considering that the other party was once his superior in the Imperial Academy, Jia Ying could not refuse no matter what.

Compared with Chu Dayou, Gu Chunting's courtship is much more reserved, which probably has something to do with his own temperament.

No matter how much ambition or ambition he has in his original heart, after staying in the Imperial Academy for more than ten years, his mood has long been smoothed out, and he will not be impatient when things happen.

Compared with him, Chu Dayou is still a junior.

Furthermore, it is also related to Jia Ying's own complicated background. It is estimated that he is rarely seen in the entire officialdom.

It has to be said that he was in the light of his father.

Born with a noble background, he was born as a nobleman.Jia Yan settled down and took root in Yunnan, which allowed him to get acquainted with Feng Yankuan.

Just these two points, let him benefit nothing.

For a person like him, the relationship in the officialdom is actually more delicate.

It is absolutely impossible for him to rely on anyone, even his teacher.

What he did and did changed with time, and his purpose was still only one, and that was to have a happy ending.

It is not Jia Ying's pursuit to have a false name under one person that makes everyone flock to him, or to put a bigger burden on his shoulders.

Of course, he won't tell others about this, otherwise how can he have both ways.

Facts have proved that Jia Ying's idea is not wrong.

Qian Shangshu from the Ministry of Officials recently came to Jia's mansion more frequently than before, and every time he intentionally or unintentionally asked Jia Zheng if Jia Ying was in the mansion.

After Jia Ying heard about this, even though he was a member of the two worlds, he also felt a little flattered.

What is Jia's virtue and ability to make so many big bosses favor him.

Seeing more and more olive branches thrown at him, Jia Ying had no choice but to change her mind.

It seems impossible to continue to stay out of the matter. Once these people are rejected by him, it is estimated that he will be "exiled" in a short time, and he may not be able to return to Beijing for the rest of his life.

People are in the rivers and lakes, can't help themselves!

But if he is really asked to choose a side, he is more interested in Ye Baichuan who is about to enter Beijing for the second time.

In the eyes of many people, Jia Ying seems to be closer to Fu Donglai. After all, regardless of the personal relationship between his teacher and Fu Donglai, it seems that Fu Donglai has supported him since he became an official. Yes, he also spoke for him several times in court.

But Jia Ying knew very well in his heart that his relationship with Fu Donglai was far from being as close as everyone saw.

Since he came back from Shanxi, the number of times he went to Fu's mansion has been counted on the fingers.

The reason why Fu Donglai used him was not because he had a good impression of him, but because he was useful, especially before Li Dang fell, his noble background gave Fu Donglai more convenience.Even in the future, his relationship with Fu Donglai may only stop here.

As for why he chose Ye Baichuan instead of taking refuge in Fu Donglai, there are many details in it, and it is very subtle.

However, it may take some time before Ye Baichuan enters the capital. He has to figure out a way first and delay it for a while.

It seemed that he was still going to hide.

Coincidentally, things in Jiangnan are about to bear fruit.

Just as Jia Ying was about to rub the soles of her feet with oil, someone came from the palace.

What will happen when the emperor summons himself?
Jia Ying was very curious.

It is still the Huagai Palace that Jia Ying is familiar with, and there are only two monarchs and ministers at this time.

"You don't go to the south of the Yangtze River to watch the errands I give you, what are you doing in Beijing all the time, how did I hear that you are now a door god?" Jia De rarely gossiped once.

It has been more than a month since the last court debate. Jia Ying really wanted to be lazy, but she couldn't answer truthfully.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's not that I'm stuck in Beijing and have nothing to do. I originally wanted to invite a few master craftsmen from the Military Weapons Bureau to go south. Who would have thought that the Ministry of Industry would refuse to agree."

"It's fine if you don't agree. I also transferred several master craftsmen from the Nanjing Army Banner Bureau, saying that they were going to go to Beijing to supervise the manufacture of firearms and equip the Beijing camp. Your Majesty, you know, my original plan was to do so before the spring of next year." , create the first batch of firearms and equipment, and build a naval fleet first, so that newly recruited soldiers can go to sea in batches and do actual combat drills."

"There is a shortage of craftsmen at the Nanjing Military Bureau, especially the master craftsmen. Now that several people have been transferred by the Ministry of Industry, it is bound to delay the delivery of firearms in the south. Of course, I know that the Jingying guarding the capital is the most important thing. Most importantly, I don't object to them transferring people from the Nanjing Military Weapons Bureau, but I have to add some craftsmen to my ministers, and I am negotiating with the Ministry of Industry for this matter."

"As for the door god that His Majesty mentioned, I only think that His Majesty is praising him, but I am willing to be the door god of our Daqian Dynasty and guard the frontier for His Majesty."

Talking about trivial matters can distract the other party's attention to a certain extent. After all, the emperor has a lot to do every day, so how can he listen to it.

Sure enough, Jade waved his hand impatiently.

"Don't bother me with these trivial matters. Over there in the Ministry of Industry, you can discuss it yourself, and I won't speak for you."

"Your Majesty." Jia Ying pretended to argue a few more words.

"okay."

Jia De didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and interrupted: "The Ministry of Industry has its own considerations. You also said that the defense of the Beijing Army is the most important thing. I can't pull out my own army. It’s worse than the local guards.”

While talking, Jiade took out another memorial from the short table next to him, and asked Dai Quan to hand it to Jia Ying.

"Look at it for yourself. After reading it, you will understand that this batch of firearms is not just for the Beijing camp."

Jia Ying looked at the brochure in his hand, and on the cover it read, "King Kemin of North Korea Li Chaojue pays homage to Dagan Shengtian Zian."

North Korea?

Lee's North Korea was not established for a long time, at least many officials were recruited, and they still used to call North Korea Goguryeo in private.As a matter of fact, Lee's North Korea did "inherit" all of Goguryeo's heritage. The Goguryeo people in the past are also the Koreans today.

Of course, those in exile don't count.

Jia Ying opened the memorial, and after reading it roughly, she understood.

Li Chaojue is asking Dagan for help.

The Huns failed in their southern expedition, and there was an endless ice field in the north, but the harsh winter before them still had to go through, and they could not enter the north and south, so they could only expand east and west.

Jia Ying had seen the battle report of the Western Regions long ago, and it was even more detailed than most officials knew, because the Hunan Army Camp is now in the westernmost part of Dagan.

The Western Regions have been looted two or three times by the Right King's Department, and even the merchants of Dashi have not appeared in Dagan for a while.

This is the case in the barren Western Regions, but it is close to the Liaodong region of the Zuowang tribe.

Unlike the previous life in Jia Ying's memory, the Huns did not withdraw from history so early and were still active in the northern grasslands. However, after thousands of years of evolution, the northern grasslands are not only the Huns.

The Mongols who were defeated by Dagan earlier were separated from the Huns, and once expelled the Huns of the same origin to the desolate ice field north of Mobei.

The Huns lay dormant in the north for hundreds of years, and even surrendered for a time. Later, with the collapse of the Mongolian Yuan, they rose again, plundered the heritage of the Mongolian Yuan people, absorbed their population, and once again played the banner of the Great Huns.

The naturalized Hus on the nine sides of Daqian are the descendants of Meng Yuan.

And there are Turkic people in the west, and Donghu people in the east.

Donghu people are a general term. Their tribes are more complex, so they are not large in scale. The largest tribe does not exceed [-], and the small one has only dozens of people.

The Donghu people barely survived under the cracks between Dagan and the Huns. In the ice and snow, their life was not easy. The Huns opened their fangs, so naturally they looked down on the Donghu people. Heading east, they eventually set their sights on North Korea.

From the beginning of the winter month of last year until the early spring of this year, the Huns drove the Donghu people to plunder North Korea continuously, and the young Li Dynasty was miserable.

If that's all, that's all. Things will make matters worse.

The remnants of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje who were expelled by the Lee family have been wandering around the sea all year round, making a living by plundering, and recently they seem to have colluded with Japanese pirates.

It is mentioned in the memorial table that Jinluo Road and Gyeongsang Right Road have been occupied by Japanese pirates. The Huns in Ping'an Road and Ning'an Road have left, but the Donghu people have stayed. The war has not subsided until now.

Now, in the hands of the Li Dynasty, there are only four Taoist palaces that are still under their control.

Seeing that the succession inherited from his ancestors was about to be destroyed, Li Chaojue had no choice but to ask Dagan for help.

After Jia Ying read this list, she guessed Jiade's thoughts in her heart. North Korea paid tribute to Dagan. As the suzerain country, it will not just watch North Korea perish. This is also beating him, the holy emperor. Face.
