Time travel from the red building

Chapter 51 51. A bunch of bad news

Lin Ruhai is an official of the imperial court. Seeing more darkness and injustice, he is no longer a stunned young man who just entered the officialdom. He sighed and said: "The clans have been united for a long time, and it cannot be changed overnight. Even if the court laws stipulate, Anything illegal must be reported to the yamen, but they can't stop them from dealing with it privately."

"In some places where families are powerful, the rules of the family are often greater than the laws of the country, and the court is very dissatisfied with this. I still remember a county where there was a wealthy family. The children of the family were imprisoned for committing crimes. The people of the family dared to gather and forcibly break into the county government office. Snatching people, in the end, only a few leaders were arrested, and the followers were educated, after all, the law does not punish the crowd, and we can't arrest and behead all the one or two hundred young men."

Yun Qing disapproved very much, and it was because of this that those people were not afraid. Catch a few typical heavy punishments and keep them in shock. It is useful to kill chickens and monkeys at any time. Unfortunately, she also knows that with the current social order, the overall It requires stability, and now the country is not governed by law. What she wants is far from being realized.

Sighing a few words, Yun Qing saw that Lin Ruhai and his wife were not in a very high mood, and thought that he had really come to make things difficult for them when he came to the door this time, but he couldn't help but say so, so he asked, "When I came to Beijing this time, what did I hear?" Some news is related to Madam's natal family, do you want to hear it?"

Jia Min was taken aback, she was ice-snow smart and immediately realized that it was not good news, but did she stop listening to bad things?Of course it is impossible, she motioned Yun Qing to speak directly, Yun Qing organized the language, and said: "I heard that the four kings and eight princes have married each other for generations, and one is prosperous and the other is damaged; there is also Jinling City's 'Guardian' The four major families in the world, should the Tianfu officials take office, if you don’t pay a visit to these families first, you may be unable to move an inch and offend them, not only the official position, but also your life. Do you know the prestige of your mansion, ma’am?”

Jia Min paused, of course she knew, but isn't this the case for all wealthy families?Who can fight alone if they want to gain a foothold in the court?Isn't it normal that the in-laws are all old and old, and everyone helps each other out?Why mention it specifically?Including Lin Ruhai, who is also a member of this network, what's wrong?
Jia Min was puzzled, but Lin Ruhai showed a clear look, and explained for Yun Qing: "The one at the top won't like the people at the bottom who form cliques for personal gain. The more people gather and the more powerful they are, the more people will be afraid. The power of the father-in-law's family Since it is not small, there are four princes and eight princes who are closely related, plus Shi, Wang, and Xue's three families, they have already gathered civil servants and generals, and there is financial support from the Xue family..."

Jia Min was startled, the moon is full and the water is full and the water is overflowing. When it comes to great principles, they are all the same, but if you put it on yourself, you will inevitably be blinded. You can only see today's prosperity, but you can't see the hidden worries behind it. .

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glared at Lin Ruhai, and said angrily, "Since Master knows, why didn't you remind me?"

Lin Ruhai smiled wryly: "I also hinted to the two brothers-in-law. The elder brother-in-law wrote back to advise me not to worry about it. The second brother-in-law just pretended he didn't see it. What can I say?"

Jia Min was also speechless.The water thrown by the married daughter, her natal family's major affairs will really not listen to their husband and wife, no matter how many problems the master sees, he can only persuade them tactfully, if the brothers don't listen, what can they do?
Hearing this, Yun Qing also realized that she had lost her mind again. She originally thought that Lin Ruhai and Jia Min didn't know much about the situation of Jia's family, they didn't realize their hidden worries and crises, and they didn't know that they violated laws and disciplines. Behavior, so never asked,

Only now did I realize that Jia Min might not really understand it well, but Lin Ruhai was clear in his heart and just couldn't control it.Jia Min is a married woman and has no right to speak, while Lin Ruhai is from a foreign surname, so it is not easy to meddle in Yue's family affairs.

In other words, Yun Qing's original plan of letting Lin Ruhai and his wife restrain the Jia family has completely failed.

Yun Qing was a little disappointed, but he mentioned it all, and he couldn't just say half of it, and continued: "Participation is one aspect, and there is also the matter of selling officials and ranks, influencing lawsuits, and taking over lawsuits. , can also bully others to sell fertile land by force, even robbing civilian women has happened, and if someone pursues them, they will all be charged with crimes."

Jia Min's complexion turned pale, and Lin Ruhai's complexion was not very good-looking. They knew that the Jia family would not be too innocent, but they didn't expect so many problems. They immediately made a secret decision and wrote letters to persuade them later. Continue to sit idly by.

Perhaps thinking that they were not stimulated enough, Yun Qing asked again: "The eldest grandmother Qin Shi newly married in the Ningguo Mansion last year is the orphan of Prince Xian Yizhong, do you know about this?"

Lin Ruhai just took a sip of tea, and immediately choked. Jia Min held his chest, looking like he was not breathing well. After a long while, Lin Ruhai said with difficulty: "How much bad news is there? You can finish it once, and then go on like this." , our hearts can't take it..."

Yun Qing blinked, and said innocently: "It's nothing else, I've only been in the capital for a month and a half, how much can I hear? That's your relatives and family members, you should know better than me, why are you asking me instead? "

Jia Min said in a trance: "You just said that Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is the orphan of Prince Yizhong. Is it true?" What do Big Brother and Brother Zhen think? Didn’t they suffer enough back then? How dare they get involved in these things?”

It can be regarded as finding someone who can explain the confusion, Yun Qing hurriedly asked what happened, but Jia Min was emotionally unstable, so Lin Ruhai explained.

Today is the third emperor, he ascended the throne at the age of 19, the eldest son was born in the same year, and was named the prince the following year, this prince can be said to have been favored by thousands of people, but in the end he was spoiled, reckless, cruel and cruel Ruthless and lustful, these are the crimes committed by the first prince when he was deposed.

It is said that if something goes wrong, he will whip the servants around him, and dozens of people will die directly, and even more will die of serious injuries; he can participate in the East Palace because of the censor. He praised his younger brothers and kicked them off the steps. It is said that the second prince broke his leg.

What's even more exaggerated is that when he fell in love with a certain concubine of the emperor, he dared to directly force him to put a green hat on his emperor's own father. Later, the concubine couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide, leaving a blood letter to accuse him. When questioned by the emperor, instead of admitting his mistake, he said contemptuously that the little concubine was ignorant of flattery, and almost threw him to death on the spot.

These are not the most powerful operations of that divine man.

Because of his various rebellious behaviors, the emperor reluctantly abolished his crown prince position and temporarily banned him. This man of gods refused to accept defeat, and would rather die vigorously than succumb to a useless job, so he forced a group of The people came to force the palace, but in the end they were no match for Lao Jiang's father. He failed. His last madness was to cut off all the women and children in the East Palace with his own hands, and then committed suicide, swearing that he would not let the emperor's father deal with it. his chance.
