Red Mansion, Second Master Lian is too despicable

Chapter 133 Chapter 110
The adult world is not black and white, it is complex.

One body has two sides, one body has three sides, or even one thing has countless sides, which is the original appearance of the thing.

Just like now, the Secretary's Office under Honglu Temple where Jia Lian is located has become a hot cake.

Because it has the potential to break away from Honglu Temple and develop into a new power department.

Jia Lian knew something was going on here before, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

Big enough to ignore family ties.

Could it be that just for the sake of a position, his uncle could ignore everything and just sit back and watch while he was in danger?
Or is there something else going on here?

As for what's going on, I'm afraid only the young master in front of me can answer my questions!
Thinking of this situation, when Jia Lian faced Young Master Zhou, he bowed lower and lower, but his eyes were always looking at the young Young Master's mouth.

The height difference between adults and children made Jia Lian's posture uncomfortable and even unsightly.

But Jia Lian knew that when listening to someone's instructions, you should look at the other person's mouth, not directly.

The more it is because of the young age of the other party, the less we can ignore this crappy traditional culture.

This represents a kind of reverence from the heart, which can even be said to be surrender.

It doesn't matter whether this will make people look down on you!

And the young master also understands what Jia Lian wants to express with this look.

He looked into Jia Lian's eyes unceremoniously and condescendingly.

"Uncle, you have to know that your uncle and your cousin got an advantage in this matter just because they got the news first!"

As he spoke, the young master sighed:
"But the little advantage you got by taking advantage of it is really not as exciting as the one you got by accident!"

Hearing this, Jia Lian's heart tightened.

'Young master, you are lighting yourself up! '

Master Zhou did not say why his uncle Zhang Erhe gave up on him, but specifically mentioned his cousin, a character who did not appear at the scene at all.

This is to tell him Jia Lian, they all know about his Jia Lian, and he has no secrets to face them.

It is even said that even the few backers behind Jia Lian are well-known.

It can also be regarded as a warning to Jia Lian not to have any unrealistic expectations.

The relationship between us and those behind you is more intricate and tight than you think.

However, the words "accidental success" also made Jia Lian understand that the key issue may still be the number of official positions.

Although Jia Lian still didn't know why this happened, it made him feel somewhat confident.

There are a lot of things that you can’t figure out, maybe because no one can explain the key points to you.

Once you understand this key, everything may be clear.

Perhaps it was because he accidentally obtained the staff quota that had been accumulated for many years in the Ministry of Civil Affairs that he gave his uncle's originally small dough enough space to ferment, and then steamed a large pot of steamed buns.

Because of this big pot of steamed buns, Zhang Erhe couldn't eat the whole dough alone.

And when there are more people sharing the steamed buns, there won’t necessarily be any problems!

As for why it was clear that his uncle Zhang Erhe was the head of the Ministry of Personnel, but he did not expect that the Ministry of Personnel itself controlled officials with no merit, thus allowing Jia Lian to take advantage of him.

That may be because many people take the official department for granted and have no idea how big the entire official department is.

The entire official department is composed of the headquarters, the honor department, and the merit examination department; there are countless ministers, who are both high and low-ranking officials and have false posts. They are used to commend meritorious deeds and evade real power.

There is one assistant minister on the left and right, one of whom is the third rank, and they are the real powerful cadres of the Ministry of Personnel.

There is a secretary office inside, with several secretaries, including those of the seventh and ninth grades.

Peripheral literary works include the selection of officials from the Qing Dynasty, the examination and sealing of officials from the Qing Dynasty, the examination of the officials from the Qing Dynasty, and the examination of the merits of the officials from the Qing Dynasty.

Under these four divisions are thirteen branches including Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang, Shaanxi, Guangdong, Shandong, Fujian, Henan, Shanxi, Sichuan, Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan.

There are 150 six divisions in total.

In each department, there is one doctor who is in the fifth rank, one person who is a lieutenant in charge of the fifth rank, and one person in charge who is in charge of the sixth rank.

Later, dismissal, knighthood, ancestral shade, commendation, grants, royal officials, Qintian, and imperial use were added.

In addition, there are countless names of principals, who are used to facilitate the affairs of the big shots.

Zhang Erhe is one of them.

These are all cadres above the department level.

Section-level cadres and section members who enjoy the treatment of section-level cadres are not included, let alone those so-called "unqualified" guys who are not even qualified to be in the ninth rank.

Therefore, it is really uncertain how many people there are in the official department.

But everyone has their own specific responsibility at hand, at least those who can get into the rank.

As for Zhang Erhe, a person in charge who had no specific powers and responsibilities and was just selling his official position for the emperor, it was normal for him not to understand the affairs of other officials.

After all, he is a dandy who has become a monk on the way. He usually handles the business of high-ranking officials. How can he consider the promotion of officials who are not even high-ranking?

That's why Jia Lian unintentionally took away the heavenly power.

The specific power of this credit is that it complies with procedural justice.

If it complies with procedural justice, then it will not be wrong no matter what you do.

Originally, this happened because the emperor was unable to control the power due to the struggle between the cabinet and the internal eunuchs, so he came up with the idea of ​​starting a new business.

This is inconsistent with procedural justice. At most, it is nothing more than the rise of an agency like an internal supervisor.

But Jia Lian's move from the grassroots level gave the stove the first fire, because with the first fire, the future can become more and more prosperous.

But this fire seemed to have burned into Jia Lian's body, and he was implicated, making people feel resentful.

This is a bit tiring.

Jia Lian wanted to understand this and was not in a hurry to talk to Mr. Zhou. Instead, he waited for Mr. Zhou to elaborate.

But what Mr. Zhou wants to instill in Jia Lian is not just what he is seeing right now.

He stared into Jia Lian's eyes and continued.

"Uncle, rules are to protect everyone. Especially at our level, things must be done according to the rules. Although the right to interpret the rules is in our hands, this explanation must convince the public."

What the young master said is true.

The superior should look into the eyes of the subordinate when speaking, so as to intimidate and maintain dignity.

And this sentence is equivalent to clarifying Jia Lian's contribution, which made everything Zhang Erhe did justified.

Now that Jia Lian knew it, he didn't dare to interrupt.

As the saying goes, the answers to questions that come up in your head and those that come up from your butt must be different.

Rationally speaking, Jia Lian's small actions were just to solve the problems of recruiting people into official positions, and inadvertently made contributions to his uncle Zhang Erhe.

But from other people's point of view, Jia Lian just made something that was obviously very small, would not infringe on everyone's rights too much, and was tolerated by everyone, not only made it a big deal, but also made it legal.This is not easy to handle.

In the past, all high-ranking officials understood the formula of power contained in rank, but no one ever said that officials without rank could not have power!
Although, according to unspoken rules, there are limited ways for officials to rise, and the final career path is just that.This is the end of the division chief at the sixth and seventh grades.

But now that these people have their backs on the emperor, who knows what complications they will add.Once you cross the threshold of the fifth-rank official, you will have the opportunity to go directly to Tianting.

But things have already happened, so what you need to do is not to regret it, but to control things within your control.

Then someone takes responsibility for it.Therefore, Jia Lian was unlucky.

Among them, Chaha and Zhou Quan's family were the most displeased with the re-emergence of the Honglu Temple's Secretariat.

Because his father is the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is also known as the General Constitution, and together with the six ministers, it is also known as the Qiqing.It is a department that inspects and impeaches hundreds of officials, vindicates those who are wronged, supervises various officials, and serves as the emperor's eyes, ears, and officials.

Commonly known as the Political and Legal Committee.

And what are the new powers and responsibilities of Jia Lian’s Secretariat under Honglu Temple?

It is to inspect the conduct of officials returning to Beijing to report on their duties.

This overlaps too much with the powers of the Inspectorate. Isn't this tantamount to snatching food from the tiger's mouth?

If the Secretariat of Secret Service was just a little shrimp who had not yet started working, like the Xingren Secretary, it was used to amuse the emperor and the people, and he would be rewarded with an eighth- or ninth-grade official.

After all, this won't make a difference.

But in the past few days when Jia Lian was away, the Secretariat seemed to be rebelling against Tiangang because of the facts created by Jia Lian.

Recruitment and development are taking off!

The provincial departments and other departments cooperated in a tacit understanding, and the green light was given to the Secretary-General's Department to run in the direction of growth.

This is something the Zhou family cannot tolerate.

You must know that it is not easy for the Zhou family to come this far from a family with a military background.

The family has not lost its way to promotion in the military, but has also started a career in the supreme supervisory authority. This is the envy of many families!
If this happens accidentally, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will change from supervising hundreds of officials to supervising local officials, giving the new little guy the right to supervise hundreds of officials entering the capital!

Is the Zhou family still alive?
Who is willing to give away the rights at hand?

Losing people is a small matter, but losing rights is a big deal.

Therefore, it is one aspect to suppress the Spinning Department of Honglu Temple, and it is another aspect to win over.

And Jia Lian, who became an abandoned son, is a good target.

It was not easy to make a move when his uncle wanted to reuse him, but something happened to Jia Lian himself, and his uncle had to use the position he had originally promised to him to exchange interests with others, so it was time to pull Jia Lian.

That's why the child Zhou Quan came forward to admonish Jia Lian.

Because Zhou Quan is a child, no matter what the outcome is, it can be regarded as a joke.

But because his name is Zhou Quan, which is the same name as the ancestor of the Zhou family, Jia Lian cannot take these words as a joke.

Especially what the young master is going to talk about next.That's not funny.

"Uncle, uncle, there is only so much porridge in this bowl. Your uncle Zhang Hu originally only got the chance to take a sip first, but his spoon was only so big. How much can he drink with one spoon?"

While talking, Zhou Quan also started to drink porridge with handfuls in his hands, and said while drinking.

"What a shame, you actually found a new spoon and handed it to your uncle!"

The gestures that turned the small spoon into a big spoon made Jia Lian understand that he was right.

"Then this pot of porridge is not enough!"

The action of scooping up half a pot of porridge with a spoon is indeed a little too much.

After doing this, Zhou Quan looked at Jia Lian and smiled ambiguously.

"But uncle, you are the hero after all. You must have a bite of the porridge in your uncle's spoon."

Mr. Zhou who said this was a little bit weird, and Jia Lian didn't dare to reply, so he could only lower his head even lower.

When the young master saw Jia Lian's attitude, he spoke more neatly.

"But this time the porridge is so fragrant that everyone wants to add some ingredients, and everyone wants to take a bite of someone else's!"

The words 'add ingredients' and 'want to eat' stung Jia Lian's ears again.

'Add ingredients' means 'pay'. If you want to eat, just 'change'!

This is not a good thing for Jia Lian, because Jia Lian has no exchange capital. He is just a role model now.

And the hero is just a typical example. He stands up when needed. If it is no longer needed, the credit is meaningless.

Otherwise, why was it that Yue Fei was rehabilitated after 32 years?

It's not because the timid group of people found that blindly flattering was useless, so they put up the example of the main station faction again.

You know, during these 32 years, Qin Huina, a typical compromiser, had a reputation as a "virtuous prime minister", which was recognized by everyone from top to bottom, including the common people.

Of course, it’s not the people’s fault. After all, whichever way the wind blows, they will fall in that direction.They have always been a group of guys who don't know the truth.

Love whomever the court lets you love, and scold whomever the court lets you scold.

This was what Jia Lian was afraid of. It turned out that before he knew it, he was already useless.

But it wasn't over yet, Zhou Quan stepped forward and helped Jia Lian up.

He said while holding on.

"Your cousin wants to eat the porridge at your uncle's place, and your uncle's in-laws want to eat it. Even relatives like us who can reach it around the corner and don't know what year and month want to try it!"

Being beaten and beaten by Zhou Quan, Jia Lian's body, which was obviously much bigger than the child, had to be weak and obedient. He could get up by himself as soon as others helped him.

Otherwise, it will be called shameless.

But when he got up and returned, his posture was just a little more comfortable, but Jia Lian still lowered his head and listened to Zhou Quan's teachings.

At the same time, he sighed in his heart, they are all children of the same age, Jia Baoyu would still fall to death compared with this one.

Zhou Quan didn't know what Jia Lian was thinking, but he was very satisfied with Jia Lian's respectful attitude, so he continued.

"Then this porridge isn't enough!"

After saying this, Zhou Quan put away his yin and yang attitude and said seriously.

"Then uncle, at this time, if you are safe and well, your uncle will get you a mouthful of the most delicious bite from between his teeth! Right!"

This is the third time Mr. Zhou has sent a message to Jia Lian. Although it is wrong, it would be too much to not answer again.

Jia Lian had no choice but to reply tremblingly.

"For example, I am acting as acting prime minister?"

This sentence is enough, at least it shows that Jia Lian understands what is going on.
