Red Mansion: I am Jia Lian

Chapter 49
  After Jia Lian angrily told all the things that happened in the academy, Zhang Ting'en was stunned for a while, and suddenly burst out into violent laughter: "Hahaha...!" While laughing, he patted the table without any image.

Seeing him like this, Jia Lian couldn't help but feel a little strange. He suppressed curiosity and waited patiently for him to laugh until he was almost done laughing. Then he said, "Sir, is this funny? Why don't I feel it?"

Zhang Ting'en slowly stopped smiling, raised his finger and pointed at himself: "Let me ask you, what kind of place is Qingyun Academy to me?" How did Jia Lian understand this? He simply shook his head: "I don't know!"

"Yangwang! Do you understand?" Zhang Ting'en gave the answer very simply.

"Nianwang? Xie An?" Jia Lian looked at Zhang Ting'en suspiciously, and received a positive nod: "That's right!"

"Is it useful to support Wang in the current government? No matter how high the reputation is, His Majesty will not use someone who is not able to solve practical problems, right? Even if it hinders the voice of the government and the public, he will not be reused. Xie An can support Wang because the imperial power has been There are constraints from the family. Today’s imperial power is as stable as Mount Tai. Yang Wang will inevitably interfere with His Majesty’s right to employ people, which is a big taboo.”

Jia Lian's words were not said casually. They were actually guiding Zhang Ting'en's thoughts. Xie An was able to use means to raise his hopes, but Li Qing was of another nature. What if he wanted to evade the imperial power?

"Back then, Li Rushui stepped into the cabinet with one step, and he insisted on clearing the debt. I guess he wanted to make a big gamble. It was the powerful people who pulled him down back then, and I was the only one among the civil servants who came out to speak for him. I thought he had something to do with him. I had the same political views. Later, we had a drink together in the academy and he told the truth. He regretted that he did not have a good relationship with his colleagues when he was in court. When Li Qing was the chief of the mountain, he did many things to open back doors for the courtiers' children. .”

Zhang Tingen's meaning was very clear, Li Qing had changed.

When Jia Lian heard what he said, his already unhappy mood became even worse, and he said angrily: "The old thief actually vomited blood and pretended to be stunned to escape, so I can't compete for the full merit." This can be understood in this way, for a decades-old man Bench, in the unit, it is natural to tolerate everything first, and then wait and see the changes. If you still look like that after traveling to this world, isn't it a waste of time?
  Zhang Ting'en burst out laughing again: "You, the narrow-minded ghost! After this incident, Li Rushui's reputation has plummeted, and he regrets it."

"There weren't many people present at the time, so the person involved wouldn't tell anyone about it, right?" Jia Lian was pretending to be childish, and Zhang Ting'en was indeed fooled. He aroused the emotion of being a teacher and said, "Don't you understand? Not only can this kind of thing be hidden, It will spread very quickly. Just wait and see, in three days at most, Li Rushui will definitely resign as the mountain chief and return to his hometown to avoid the limelight."

Jia Lian was shocked this time. Is it so serious? I have underestimated people's requirements for the conduct of officials in this era.

"Li Rushui used to have many political enemies in the government, and those in power would also be worried about him returning to the court to compete for positions. The official positions in the court are like carrots and pitfalls, and there are many people waiting to become officials. If you think about it carefully, is this the reason? , considering Li Qing’s situation, he is at least a minister. How many ministers are there in the six departments of the imperial court? "

Jia Lian instantly understood what Zhang Tingen meant. How could he not understand? Just saying that? Times have changed, but the essence remains the same.

It's just that the predicted direction of development is somewhat different from Jia Lian's original intention. Jia Lian's idea was to disgust Li Qing and leave a bad impression on the emperor. There are many people waiting to use Zhang Ting'en's meaning to express it. This little thing can give you thirty episodes of a TV series, and the content is very exciting.

"In this case, it won't hurt to be kicked out of the academy." Jia Lian's understanding was very special. Zhang Ting'en shook his head after hearing this: "The reputation of the academy may be implicated, and I can't sit idly by."

After hearing this, Jia Lian took a deep look at Zhang Ting'en and thought to himself: Scholars are all in the same group.

"What do you think I'm doing? The sign of Qingyun Academy was created by Taizu!" Zhang Ting'en glared and scolded, Jia Lian smiled and said nothing, disdain overflowing from his face. Zhang Tingen understood clearly and stopped talking about him. After all, Qingyun Academy now is not the same as the academy in the past. The original purpose was to provide a place for the children of nobles and officials in Beijing to study, but now it has become a backyard where the children of the civil service group gather.

Jia Lian was thinking of a certain lakeside university. Vested interests always operate this way. If I am rich, my descendants will also be rich. How can I ensure that? Doing tricks in the ascending channel!
  Let's put it this way, both have IQs of 120. Can people in the imperial capital be the same as people in a small county?

What's more, some people are not satisfied yet and control the best educational resources to serve their own future generations.

The longer a dynasty lasts, the more blocked the path upwards for those at the bottom of society.

Throughout the ages, this has always been the case. This is determined by human nature!

"Okay, don't think too much. Go to the Imperial College to study. There are many famous teachers there. It's just that the atmosphere is a bit worse. You can come and ask for advice at any time while I'm in Beijing." After Zhang Ting'en said the previous paragraph, he added another paragraph after thinking about it. .

He has always had a good eye for people, and Jia Lian is definitely the one who stands out among his peers. Such a student, even if he is a noble disciple, must be firmly bound, and it would be a huge disadvantage to leave it to others.

There is one thing that Zhang Ting'en cannot say, and that is the emperor's dissatisfaction with the cabinet. Therefore, when this matter involves Fang Shaobai, the grandson of the chief minister, it is already destined to not pass peacefully. Even if some people want to pass peacefully, I promise. Even Emperor Hui would not agree. It is certain to add fuel to the flames. When the popularity rises, the eyes of the censors will turn red.

As a censor, if you can continue to serve as the first assistant, you will be an instant success.

There was still half a month before the Chinese New Year, so Jia Lian was not in a hurry about studying and went home.

..............................

The development of the matter was exactly as Zhang Ting'en had guessed. It was not dark yet. Emperor Chenghui was in the palace, and the eunuch Qiu Shi'an stood beside him, carefully reporting what happened in Qingyun Academy.

Emperor Chenghui listened to him expressionlessly, without any expression. Instead, he leaned on his chair and looked up at the sky. After a while, he finally said, "Find out the secret folder that Zhu Ping, the censor of Jiangnan Province, sent to me last month."

Qiu Shi'an said yes and quickly took out a booklet from the bookshelf and put it on the desk.

Emperor Chenghui unfolded the memorial and looked at it for a minute, seeming to be thinking to himself: "Isn't Fang Shoufu seventy-five this year?"

"Your Majesty remembers it correctly, the Chief Assistant was appointed as the Chief Assistant in the first year of Chenghui." Qiu Shian's words sounded innocent at all, but in fact they contained a hidden secret. The current chief assistant was appointed after Emperor Chenghui's approval. If you are not grateful, forget it. If you don't support His Majesty's policy of clearing debts, what are you doing here as the chief assistant? In the past, there was no time and no place to exert force. Isn’t this now?

"Censor Zhongcheng Liu Shou suppressed Zhu Ping's memorial?" Emperor Chenghui seemed to be confirming, but in fact he was making up his mind.

"I really haven't seen Zhu Yushi's zhezi." Qiu Shi'an still told the truth. He really didn't see it. So what if he went to get the zhezi? There is no doubt that he was stopped at Yushitai.

Emperor Chenghui picked up a piece of paper in front of him. The governor of Jiangnan impeached Jiangnan censor Zhu Ping and robbed a good family's concubine with the help of wine. According to the truth investigated by Qiu Shian, Zhu Ping went to a banquet with his colleagues and got extremely drunk during the dinner. When he woke up at home in the morning, there was a woman beside him. The woman said that she was the concubine of a certain merchant. On her way home, she encountered Zhu Ping, who forced her subordinates to snatch it back. Emperor Chenghui was furious when he knew the truth, but the other party had irrefutable evidence and could only take the time to endure it. However, regarding Zhu Ping's case, Emperor Chenghui also asked Qiu Shi'an to accept it and put it off until the heat subsides.

This incident suddenly reminded Emperor Chenghui of Lin Ruhai. Jia Lian had said that if Lin Ruhai was loyal to the king, he might not live long.

At that time, Emperor Chenghui didn't think that the boy was talking nonsense. Zhu Ping's case was ahead of him.

Emperor Chenghui always paid great attention to the censors of various provinces and provinces. Half of them were personally selected and appointed because they were the emperor's eyes and ears.

Without conclusive evidence, the emperor could not deal with ministers at will, let alone senior officials such as the chief assistant and the censor Zhongcheng.

..............................

Almost overnight, gossip about Qingyun Academy was spreading all over the capital. This academy is actually quite jealous of colleagues!

In addition, there are people behind the scenes who are adding fuel to the flames. In the streets, alleys, teahouses and restaurants, everyone is talking about Qingyun Academy.

In the first version, the head of the Academy is awesome and the direct descendant of Rong Guogong. If he says that he has been wronged, he will be wronged. If he says that he has been wronged, he will be wronged. The grandson of the chief assistant and the son of the minister of the Ministry of Rites will drop out of school. The tutors in Duke Rongguo's mansion are really good, and they truly respect their teachers. It was obvious that the treatment was excessive, but he did not make a fuss and accepted it calmly. The chief assistant is so awesome that his grandson dares to drive the grandson of Rong Guogong out of the academy.

In the second version, the first assistant is so awesome that even the headmaster of Qingyun Academy would kneel down and lick him. For this reason, he did not hesitate to expel the academy to scare Jia Lian, the direct grandson of Duke Rong. The intention was to lift him up high and put him down gently, but something went wrong during the process. The tutor in Rongguofu was good, and he fully accepted the teacher's punishment and had no complaints afterward.

In the third version, the chief assistant is awesome and has monopoly power. For this reason, he does not hesitate to let his grandson Fang Shaobai and Guo Song, the minister of rites, prevent the grandson of Duke Rong from going to school normally. This is undoubtedly a test move. Look at the Xungui Group. What's the reaction? As a result, there was no response.

Is there really no response? In fact, he responded, and early in the morning, Jia She came to Jia Lian as if his butt was on fire. When he met, he scolded him: "You little beast, the Jia family has lost all face."

Jia Lian was having breakfast. Looking at the angry Jia Lian, he greeted him in unhurried manner, and then answered unhurriedly: "Why should father make such a fuss? How about waiting patiently for a few days?"

"What are you waiting for? Just dress up and I'll take you to Li to settle the account. It's good if I don't wrong others, but he dares to wrong you." Well, at this time, Jia She doesn't care about Jia Lian. His future and destiny, but his face.

"Father, let's go back and wait for a few days!" Jia Lian's attitude was very tough, and his expression was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

Jia She was the most bully and afraid of the strong. Seeing Jia Lian's resolute attitude, he softened, but he still refused to give up and left cursingly saying "the face of Jia's family" and so on.

Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief. In these days, filial piety was extremely important. In all dynasties, "filial piety governs the world."

This thing is called ZZZQ, three cardinal principles and five constant principles. A father can go to the government to accuse his son of disobedience without any evidence.

If a person is saddled with such a crime, his whole life will be ruined and he will have no future.

Jia Lian's reaction to Jia She's reaction should be within Jia Lian's expectations. As a result of long-term observation, we know that Jia She is a talker. After Jia Lian became a little tougher and his identity changed, Jia She softened. The last incident of robbing money is a good example.

The New Year was coming soon, and with another sum of money in hand, Jia Lian decided to go out and buy some New Year gifts. Although I am not a family member, what can I say? Isn't it strange that there are so many people? Apart from anything else, Jia Mu's side must be cured, and the servants around Dongkuaoyuan have to express their gratitude. Don't underestimate these servants. It's very important whether their hearts are towards you.

Before Jia Lian could go out, Guixiang led an anxious Ping'er in. After meeting and blessing her, Ping'er explained her purpose: "Miss heard that the second master was selected as a scholar, and she was very happy. She also heard that the Jia family did not hold a banquet. Congratulations, wondering if the second master has been slighted. I specifically asked him to ask the second master, what is going on? "

When Jia Lian heard this, he understood that what Wang Xifeng cared about was Jia Lian's situation in Jia's house.

"This matter can't be explained clearly in a few words. Tell your lady, I have not suffered a loss or lost face. There are many things that I have said now, but your lady may not believe it. When she gets married, people in the house will contact When I grow up, I understand everything."

The anxiety on Ping'er's face dissipated. He patted his chest and said, "I see, I feel relieved. I will go back and inform the lady."

Jia Lian greeted: "Wait a minute, I'll write a handwritten letter for you to take back. By the way, how is your lady studying with you recently?"

Ping'er took the initiative to study the ink and whispered softly: "Miss is not slacking off, and I am also learning from it. These days, I can recognize three to five hundred characters. It's just that the writing is not good-looking. Miss has been practicing big calligraphy recently." "

Jia Lian listened and smiled and said: "Don't worry, I am only fifteen after the Chinese New Year, and my marriage will take two or three years. As long as you keep reading and writing, you can always learn something famous. You should also study hard, don't be lazy, and be careful. When you come as a dowry in the future, I will spank you."

After saying these words to Ping'er, the delicate skin of Xiafei's cheeks seemed to be oozing with water. He almost couldn't hold the ink stick in his hand, and ants shouted in his mouth: "Second Master, don't make fun of me!"

Seeing Ping'er like this, Jia Lian thought to himself, the Ping'er in the novel is extremely intelligent and has a good character and heart. Unfortunately, because of his personality, it is difficult to influence Wang Xifeng. You can't say that Ping'er is good at protecting himself, given the circumstances.

Fortunately, Jia Lian only said a few words of teasing and did not make any extra movements with his body, so Ping'er could still bear it.

In the letter, Jia Lian recounted what happened at the academy and said that the matter was not serious. Wang Xifeng should not make a fuss if he knew about it, and just wait for the subsequent changes. Anyway, Jia Lian would not suffer the disadvantage of being dumb.
