Red Mansion, Second Master Lian is too despicable

Chapter 25 25 Useless Minister

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jia Lian suddenly remembered something.

"Procedural justice should not only be achieved, but it should be achieved in a way that people can see!"

Everything in front of me seems to prove this.

It seems to be no secret that the emperor is plotting to select officials.All the officials in the Ministry of Personnel, including the eighth- and ninth-grade Sesame Mung Beans, were gone, leaving only a group of ungraded pen-post-style and jing-cheng to do things according to the rules on the day of rest.

All the officials selectively avoided the matter, seemingly implying that they would have nothing to do with it if something unexpected happened later.

After all, this matter is profitable, and the matter of letting go of officials and powers is something that an official will never experience once in his life, and no one in the bureaucracy wants to miss it.

Who doesn’t have a relative or friend who needs to be accommodated?

In this way, on the day of rest, the affairs handled by writing and writing are in line with procedural justice, but they are also issues related to the placement of minor officials of seventh or eighth grade, and no one can find fault with them.

Jia Lian felt that he had finally figured out some of the ways inside, and now it was up to him to see how much benefit he could get from it.

This guy still has the problems of modern people. Although he couldn't take out 200 taels of silver in his pocket - although Jia She gave 200 taels, he still had more than ten taels of silver left with the boy for red envelopes, but Jia Lian felt that he could do that. A transaction of 200 million taels of silver.

"I don't know how much the emperor will release this time. Have everyone in this room made arrangements?"

After entering the gate of the Seal and Clearance Bureau, Jia Lian was not in a hurry; there were people above him saying hello, there were official documents in their hands, and there were so many people in the yard.

The matter was not as private as Jia Lian thought, it was an unscrupulous transaction of power and money; this was a completely fair and open reward process.

So for this opportunity, making friends is much more important than seizing the time to join the job.

This is just like the most expensive house in Chen Yipin and the most expensive neighbor.

Anyone who can enter this courtyard now has a network of connections behind him, and building a network is the most qualified job of an official.

Jia Lian touched his chin and was thinking about where to start. Unexpectedly, he was suddenly patted on the back.

"Hey, Jia Er, I didn't expect you to come in today!"

At this moment, Jia Lian was frightened so much that the second master hurriedly turned around and saw that it was the prodigal son of the Bull family who was also from the Four Kings and Eight Kilometers Zhenguo.

These four kings are respectively four kings with foreign surnames, the Prince of Nan'an, the Prince of Beijing, the Prince of Xining, and the Prince of Dongping. Together they mean "Peace and Tranquility".

The eight princes are respectively the Bull family of Zhenguo, the Liu family of Liguo, the Chen family of Qi Gong, the Ma family of Zhiguo Gong, the Hou family of Xiuguo Gong, the Shi family of Xiuguo Gong, Jiayan of Ningguo and Jiayuan of Rongguo, put together. That is, "govern the city and repair Rongning."

Although it is a good fortune, it embodies the meaning of idleness everywhere, as if it does not interfere with the court, the king is benevolent and the minister is good, the father is kind and the son is filial, wherever the relationship is concerned, everything is praised, and the endless family is the emperor's love. their expectations.

Although they were all heroes in the founding of the country, the emperor didn't expect them to be the pillars of the country, the cornerstone of the country and so on.Being able to give them a decent pension status was the greatest kindness of Taizu back then.

But then again, who can become a great member of the founding of the country, who doesn't recognize the essence of people; they were honest for a while when the Taizu was in power, but now in the reign of the Supreme Emperor, this group of people who used to be peaceful still exist. The guy who didn't feel it also jumped out.

Hence the saying that the four kings and eight princes are connected by the same spirit.

However, there is another difference between the four princes and the eight princes.

It’s no joke that Jia Yan and Jia Yuan belong to the same family. They formed their own family in Siwangbakm. With the Jinling family as the backbone, they married the Wang family, the Shi family, and the Xue family, becoming what everyone calls the four major families. .

In this way, not to mention establishing a firm foothold in the capital, in the Jiangnan area, it was also the existence that once overpowered the Zhen family.

It's a pity that Jia Daishan's generation has failed to live up to expectations. This guy is too naive. Not only has he lost his military power, but now the two princes of the Jia family have become vassals of the Wang Shui family in Beijing.

And among the four princes and eight princes, the best one is probably the Niu family.However, the Jia family and the Niu family did not deal with each other, and Jia Lian and the young master of the Niu family in front of them, Niu Jiashi, looked at each other with displeasure.

The Niu family looked down upon the Jia family, and took advantage of the Jia family's decline to threaten, intimidate, fight, and take advantage of the Jia family. Therefore, Niu Jiadi looked down upon Jia Lian.

But Jia Lian looked down upon Niu Jiatai out of pure jealousy.

Niu Jiadai is the kind of playboy specially arranged by aristocratic families in Jia She's words. He is a person who hangs out in the Fengyue circle in Sijiu City and calls himself a master.

Many of the fallen officials and ladies were treated well.

This is enough to make the eldest young master of the Jia family and the second master Lian jealous, who spent two taels of silver to think about it for a long time.

Jia Lian glanced at Niu Jiashi and said.

"You can come, why can't I come?"

Seeing that Jia Lian was so confident, Niu Jiada became interested.

"Hey, you've made your mark. You dare to challenge me. My father, the first-class Bo Niu Jizong, the Minister of Civil Affairs! Who are you?"

Niu Jiadai roared quite loudly, as if he was afraid that others would not know.

Unexpectedly, no one in the yard was used to this problem of his, and the waiter who was serving tea and water rebuked harmoniously.

"How dare you make such a loud noise in a place where the officialdom is important!"

Niu Jia waited to hear it, but then he handed over his hand and apologized.

"My lord is saying, shut up now, shut up now!"

While talking, he bowed to a small official, who was not as decent as a prince or a senior official.It was as if these words were spoken by someone who joined the company in the room.

But it's just that he's just waiting for a reward, don't let others look down upon him.

But when Niu Jia was like this, Jia Lian was embarrassed by him.

If she stood far away, Jia Lian would naturally laugh at her. However, the two of them stood together and looked like they were very familiar with each other. Those who saw Niu Jiadi's joke began to look at Jia Lian with contempt.

Jia Lian hurriedly gave Jia Dai a hand and said.

"Don't be embarrassed. There's no one in the house who doesn't have a good reputation! Who doesn't know what this minister is about? There are only eight ministers in the official department. Even the people in this yamenmen may not recognize all their own ministers. Who can treat you as such? It’s the same thing!”

Jia Lian is not kidding, this is indeed the case; people in the official department may not necessarily know their own ministers.

Most of the ministers in the Qing Dynasty had honorary official titles, among which the minister of war was the least valuable. A general would have the title of minister of war.But in fact, none of the six ministers were in charge of affairs, and the one in charge was Zuo Shilang.

It seems that the emperor's appointment of a minister is just like giving meritorious ministers an extra salary.

But Jia Lian also felt that this was wrong; after all, civil servants and military officials all had official positions and titles to be awarded, so there was no need to do this, but the emperor still did it.

Thinking about it, this minister has no rights. He must have been squeezed out by the ministers and has no rights. However, the emperor still seals ministers randomly like this, which seems to be to sow discord and wait for action.

At this moment, Niu Jiadai was not annoyed at being squeezed by Jia Lian and said with a smile.

"Hey, Jia Er! Are you envious? Don't care if it's useful or not, at least my father is a minister! So I have a position more or less now, but Jia Lian, you really surprised me, how did you get in!"
