Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 133: Taking advantage of Jin Yiwei
Jia Qiong was in a very happy mood. She carried the Longquan Sword out of Chengtian Gate and walked slowly outside, attracting side glances from the imperial guards along the way.

After getting off the Royal Bridge, he was supposed to leave the palace, but suddenly a good idea occurred to him, so he turned a corner and headed west.

To the west of Qipan Street is the gathering place for military officials. Jia Qiong is going to the imperial government office and the governor's mansion of the pro-army army.

This is where all the commanders of the Forbidden Army have their offices, and the Yulin Guard Yamen led by Xu Shan is also here.

However, Jia Qiong did not come to Xu Shan, but to another heavyweight, Jin Yiwei commander Ji Hongzhang.

Jia Qiong strolled to the entrance of Jinyiwei Yamen and raised her legs to walk in.

The soldier guarding the gate did not recognize Jia Qiong and reached out to stop him.

However, when they saw Jia Qiong in a bullfighting uniform, they did not dare to show any indifference. They cupped their fists and asked, "My lord, what business do you have in Jinyi Yamen?"

Jia Qiong said: "You don't recognize me?
This officer is Jia Qiong, a member of Qianhu, Jinyiwei, who wants to see the commander. "

When the Baihu official who was guarding the gate heard the commotion, he hurriedly came out and bowed and said, "I'm sorry to see Jia Qianhu, my lord. Please wait a moment. I'll report it right away."

Ji Hongzhang knew that Emperor Longqing valued Jia Qiong very much. When he heard that he came to ask for an audience, he didn't think much about it and asked the gatekeeper Baihu to bring him in.

Ji Hongzhang sat on a chair, drinking tea, thinking about Jia Qiong's purpose.

"Jia Qiong, a member of the Qianhu family of Jin Yiwei, please see the Commander-in-Chief."

Hearing the sound, Ji Hongzhang looked up and saw Jia Qiong standing in front of him with her hands folded.

He saw the Emperor's Sword in Jia Qiong's hand at a glance, and stood up in surprise.

He asked in surprise: "Master Jia, what is this in your hand?"

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "My lord, there is no need to panic.

This is just an ordinary sword. It was just given to me by the emperor, not the Emperor's Sword. "

Ji Hongzhang felt that his brain was a bit lacking. What did the emperor give you? It was not the Emperor's Sword.

After thinking for a long time, he finally figured it out. He sat down again, waved his hand and said, "Master Jia, please sit down. Why do you come to see me?"

Jia Qiong took advantage of the situation and sat down on the side and said: "You don't have to be polite, sir. I have the title of Jinyi Qianhu, so I can be considered a member of our Jinyi Guards.

Everyone is their own people, so I won't be polite.

Recently, I always feel like someone is peeking into my home, as if they want to do harm to me and my family.

So I thought about seconding ten Jin Yiwei to protect Xiaguan, the head of Funing County, and the head of Yongning County. "

Ji Hongzhang had never heard of such an unreasonable request. He thought to himself that you, a non-staff member of Jinyiwei, not a relative of the emperor and an important official of the imperial court, dare to ask Jinyiwei to protect your safety?

However, he looked at the Emperor's Sword in Jia Qiong's hand and thought of the importance Emperor Long Qing attached to him, so he resisted the urge to blast him out.

Jia Qiong was too thick-skinned, and he tried to get close to each other, but also moved the two county heads out. It was a bit unreasonable to refuse directly.

He thought that Jia Qiong had the title of Jinyi Qianhu, so it made sense to send a few people to follow him.

So he said: "The front office of the palace is short of manpower and cannot mobilize so many people. I can only give you four people."

(Setting: The Palace Department is the field department under the control of Jinyiwei. It is one of their responsibilities to protect the emperor's relatives and important officials)

Jia Qiong said with a smile: "Since the front office of the palace is in difficulty, let's have fewer people. But can we let the lower officials choose their own people?"

Ji Hongzhang took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "You can choose by yourself. I'll have someone take you there."

Jia Qiong clasped his fists and smiled: "Thank you very much, Commander Ji, for making it possible. I will take my leave."

Emperor Longqing personally issued an order, and Jia Qiong's appointment was soon made. His official position became the Hanlin Academy's compilation and knowledge of Chang'an County affairs.

That is to say, his organizational relationship is still in the Hanlin Academy, but he is transferred to serve as the magistrate of Chang'an.

The other new scholars had just completed their assignments and had basically returned to their hometowns for a long vacation, but Jia Qiong unexpectedly had to start work early.

Jia Qiong has not even entered the gate of the Hanlin Academy, and he is going to be the county magistrate.

In the eyes of most people, he was definitely suppressed.

That night, Wang Yu called Jia Qiong to the palace, and the two chatted until late at night.

Wang Yu arranged for Jia Qiong to have two masters to assist him. One was Lu, who was good at criminal names, and the other was Tong, who was good at Qian Gu.

Jia Qiong now has no secret friends of his own. These two are Wang Yu's confidants who have been with Wang Yu for many years. They are experienced and loyal.

Lending it to Jia Qiong can help him check for gaps and handle trivial government affairs.

Emperor Longqing gave Jia Qiong five days to complete the handover, and time was very tight.

Early the next morning, Jia Qiong sent two masters to the county government office to make preparations in advance.

Before the handover, he had to understand some of the county's situation, check various accounts, and count personnel, warehouses, and prisoners.There were many things to do. Without the two masters sent by Wang Yu, he would have to handle these things by himself.

Jia Qiong himself has not been idle these days. He first went to the Hanlin Academy to walk around and recognize the door, showing that his heart still belonged to the Hanlin Academy.

Then he went to Jingzhao Mansion to meet his immediate superior, Yin Handong of Jingzhao Mansion, and listened to some teachings.

I also took the time to go to the Ministry of Personnel to receive official uniforms and official certificates.

The official uniforms of Dachu are divided into court uniforms, sacrificial uniforms, official uniforms, ordinary uniforms, and official uniforms. The clothes worn on different occasions are also distinguished.

Court dress refers to a kind of dress worn by officials when important ceremonies are held in the court.

At this time, officials, regardless of their position, must wear beam crowns and red woven clothes.

The grades are distinguished by the number of beams on the crown and the color and decoration of the ribbon worn.

The same goes for sacrificial robes, which are only used during sacrificial ceremonies. All officials wear similar colors.

Public uniforms and regular uniforms are most commonly used by officials, and the difference is more obvious.

Of course, the shape is a combination of a black gauze hat, a round-neck shirt, and a belt. The grades are mainly distinguished by color, chest patch, and belt material.

Jia Qiong is a sixth-grade civil servant. The official uniform she received is made of small blue floral brocade fabric, with a belt decorated with plain silver and a heron patch on the chest.

These sets of clothes are made of excellent materials and are definitely ancient high-end ready-made clothes. You would have to spend nearly a hundred taels of silver to buy them yourself.

In addition to conferring official uniforms, officials can only receive official uniforms once in their lifetime.

In the future, whether you get promoted or your clothes become worn out, you will have to spend your own money to buy more.

There is nothing that can be done about this. The court is short of money and there are many officials. The court cannot afford to issue official uniforms uniformly.

After receiving the official certificate and official uniform, he went to Shangbaosi to receive the dental plaque.

The officials in the capital envied the officials in the capital for their bureaucracy, and the officials in the capital envied the officials in the capital for their reputation.

This tooth plate is similar to the work permit of later generations, which was used by Beijing officials to indicate their identity when entering and leaving the palace.

In addition to the imperial edicts from the palace, foreign ministers must wear tooth tags if they want to enter Chengtian Gate.

The tooth tag that Jia Qiong got was about half the size of a palm. It was made of ivory and had holes in the head for threading and hanging at the waist.

On the front is engraved: The court official will wear this card, and those who do not have the card will be punished according to the law.The borrower and the borrower are equally guilty.No need to leave Beijing.

Engraved on the back: Jia Qiong, Wen, Xuan [-].

After receiving the novice equipment, it was time for Jia Qiong to go out and level up.

The first map is Chang'an County Government in hard mode, which is definitely a big challenge.

Of course, the higher the difficulty, the greater the benefits. If he can do a good job as the magistrate of Chang'an, he can also gain a lot of experience points to help him level up quickly.

Everyone knows that it is difficult to be the magistrate of Guo County, and it is even more difficult to be the magistrate of Chang'an County.

There are dignitaries everywhere in Shenjing City, and just picking one out is beyond the control of a small magistrate.

Ordinary officials really avoid this big pit, and few are willing to jump in.

The imperial court also knew that it was difficult to be a parent official in the capital, so the governor of Jingzhao was a high-ranking official of the third rank, and in many cases, the official position was concurrently held by the official of the Ministry of Justice.

Like today's Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Han Dong, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice knows the affairs of Jingzhao Prefecture. Such a high-ranking official can naturally intimidate most people.

The two magistrates of Chang'an and Wannian in Shenjing City are naturally high-end, and have been promoted from the seventh-grade Sesame Official to the sixth-grade.

From this perspective, Jia Qiong has been promoted.

Although the magistrates of these two counties are highly qualified, no one is willing to take the post.

Because the sixth-grade official is still a minor official in the capital, there are countless people who can easily manipulate him.

Most people have only one way to get into this job, and that is to pretend to be a grandson. If they can survive the term safely until the end of their term, they will be considered a high-stakes person.

But Jia Qiong doesn't intend to pretend to be a grandson. He carries the super buffs of the royal gang and the four bastards, has an unleveled pseudo-magic weapon in his hand, and also brings four top-quality pets.

You can count on your fingers the number of people in the world who can let him pretend to be a grandson.

He didn't believe that a mere Chang'an County could not be pushed aside.

Chang'an County Magistrate is his first job. How he does it will directly affect the entire court's first impression of him.

Therefore, Jia Qiong had already thought about it when he received the appointment. As the magistrate of Chang'an County, he must show the prestige of Bailihou.
