Red Mansion: I am Jia Lian

Chapter 159 The disaster star arrives
Since Qin Shihuang initiated the era of unified and centralized prefectures and counties, subsequent dynasties have been making modifications and improvements on this basis.

Before the Song Dynasty, the imperial power had been competing with local clans, sometimes cooperating and sometimes suppressing them.

Liu Yuxi lamented that "in the old days, the king's swallows flew into the homes of ordinary people." Isn't this a true portrayal of the troubled times in the late Tang Dynasty.

After the Song Dynasty, there were no more powerful families, and more gentry emerged. A single family could not pose a threat to the imperial power. Countless gentry made peace together out of fundamental interests. Naturally, someone needed to speak for this group in the court.

Most of the literati who entered official careers through the imperial examinations would eventually become new gentry.

The internal scrolling in the Ming and Qing dynasties can actually be regarded as the internal scrolling among scholars. People at the bottom are not qualified to participate.

In the process of involution, various factions emerged in the DPRK due to various geographical and other relations.

Liang Daoyuan is a mainstream member of the Southern faction. Li Qing is in a similar situation. The difference is that there is a Qingyun faction behind Li Qing.

Don't talk nonsense about Li Qing licking the emperor's neck. Naturally, he must use all available means in the struggle.

Liang Daoyuan's anger came from his uncertainty about the future. Seeing that Kong Zhao was old and still a transitional chief assistant, Liang Daoyuan was naturally ambitious and wanted to make further progress. No matter who has reached his stage, is over fifty and is of the right age, he will be able to compete for anything he says.

Jia Lian, who was covered in stinky sweat and was lying down enjoying the wiping service, had completely regained his consciousness. Looking at You Shi, who was only wearing a bellyband, and was busy, he suddenly figured out a question.

After being put into a shameful position, Youshi looked back sadly, endured it, and soon forgot everything.

There are many people under your command, and naturally they are all kinds of people with different interests. These people naturally have their own desires surrounding Liang Daoyuan's purpose.

Before Youshi could change his words, Jia Lian had already taken action.

"What's going on?" Youshi came over and sat down next to him, asking softly.

"I just can't understand what happened in the court." Jia Lian didn't act like he had everything under control.

Liang Daoyuan didn't say anything else clearly, but in fact the three bosses from the Ministry of Industry could understand it. Zhang Tingen is preparing for his death. After all, he also has relatives and friends. Wasn't there anything he could do before? No matter what it takes to move forward. Now that there is a student like Jia Lian, the next generation of Zhang's descendants will naturally have a protective umbrella.

In Jia's Mansion, even in Ningguo Mansion, Jia Lian felt that everything was under control. As a yellow-haired person, you don’t have to worry too much, and you can still enjoy the sneaky excitement. Even if Jia Zhen finds out, Jia Lian is somewhat worried.

After scolding, Liang Daoyuan still had to give an explanation.

Seeing that the three colleagues had nothing to say, Liang Daoyuan continued: "It is urgent that the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry cannot be given to Li Rushui."

Well, this is the key. Since we can’t keep it, we can’t take advantage of our political opponents.

What these three chief officials from the Ministry of Industry did was undoubtedly a hindrance to Liang Daoyuan.

Originally, in terms of power and prestige, Liang Daoyuan was far superior to Li Qing. In the court struggle where he would retreat if he did not advance, even if Liang Daoyuan stagnated, it would be a retreat. It feels a little further away from the chief assistant's seat.

"If you are unhappy, just come over to me." After saying this, Youshi felt a little regretful, as the ambiguity of what she said was too deep.

Jia Lian, who had drunk some wine, was sitting on the couch with a knot between his eyebrows and a melancholy look in his eyes. Youshi's heart ached.

When Youshi heard that this was of no help, she tried her best to be gentle so as not to cause trouble.

"Since Mr. Lu has retired, he should save some dignity for himself. The two of you will plead guilty, and most likely you will stay in the middle. Your Majesty is kind, and you will have the dignity you deserve, but the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry may change hands. Yes. Jia Lian is in the Ministry of Industry. My dear friends, please don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have again. I'm afraid Zhang Ting'en won't let him go. There are many, and the most proud students will naturally protect them with all their heart.”

Youshi has no other abilities, but he can still hold on to the people around him without fear of any problems.

For some reason, Jia Lian's mood has always been low, and the reason can't be found. It's just that he can't calm down.

The uneasiness caused by what happened at the cabinet meeting was actually caused by a situation getting out of control.

Jia Rong and Xue Pan were so drunk that after being carried down to rest, Jia Lian appeared at Youshi's place.

In contrast, when you are an official in the government and a cold government office like the Ministry of Industry, even if you do something slightly, you will be exploited by others. Originally, internal funds were allocated to find a few outstanding craftsmen, and a stall that could be set up with a thousand taels of silver became what it is now.

For Jia Lian, getting a flintlock gun was definitely not something he had to do too hastily. In the matter itself, there is no possibility of Jia Lian being harmed. The biggest problem is that the time traveler lacks a sense of security, and it is also disgusting to be taken advantage of.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you are taken advantage of. The key is that you discuss it with me beforehand. If we cooperate, there will be benefits in sharing the spoils.

Without saying hello beforehand, you just hit me with a big move. This is intolerable. After all, these people don't take themselves seriously.

Yes, you are just a young boy, so young, why should people take you seriously?

Judging from the process, Zhang Ting'en is a very powerful teacher, allowing those who don't take Jia Lian seriously to see what it means to have a backer. In addition, the emperor was also very helpful, letting those people know what it meant to be Jane in the emperor's heart.

After thinking about everything, Jia Lian caught a glimpse of the swaying Bai, and his blood suddenly rushed to his head. He worked up his waist and sat up: "Stop working, it's not over yet."

In the morning, when the sky was beginning to turn white, Youshi carefully dressed herself up and looked out the window at the beginning of the day.

Youshi didn't think much about how things came to this point. When the incident happened, he failed to stop. Instead, he was driven by instinct to be desperate. Why do you still want to do so much now?

Hey, my limbs feel sore when I move, it’s really a toss-up.

I couldn't think any more and quickly called him up.

The morning of the Ministry of Works was very quiet, and so was the Yu Heng Division. When everyone left the office, they would glance at the door where Jia Lian was. After yesterday, a saying was circulated within the Ministry of Works, "This guy is a disaster star. It would be a good idea to wait for him to leave when his term of office expires." 】

Jia Langzhong was also very agitated in the office. He didn't see Jia Lian last night, so he couldn't ask questions.

I picked up the tea cup and wanted to take a sip of tea, but forgot that I had just made it, so I burned my mouth. I put the tea cup down and wanted to curse, but I remembered that I was in the office, so I endured it. Changsui came in quietly, and Jia Zheng found the target of his vent: "What are you doing sneakily? What's so shameful?"

Chang Sui hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Second Master, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Household Affairs are here. Masters Lan and Niu have sent people to Yuheng Division to invite several adults to discuss matters with Young Master Biao."

Jia Zheng's anger was immediately extinguished and he nodded: "Go find out more and then reply." After waiting for the captain to go out, Jia Zheng sat down angrily and thought to himself: Something happened in the Ministry of Works in the past, no matter how big or small, someone will take the initiative to tell the inside story. , now Jia Lian has only been here a few days, something big has happened, only the superficial details are known, no one comes to tell the details. Fortunately, he came to observe the government. If he came to the Ministry of Industry as an official, how could I have any status?

What Jia Zheng didn't know was that he was just adding drama to himself. With his current status, he has no way to know the details of yesterday. Thanks to him not knowing the truth, he became even more depressed when he found out.

Yu Hengsi, the doctor looked at Mr. Zhang who came over, and then looked at the person behind him: "Where are the people? The two adults are waiting."

"I got a recliner and slept in the office. I told him in advance that if nothing happened, don't disturb me, and if something happened, don't disturb me. I couldn't even get in at the lower official gate, so I asked the clerk to stop me. He said that he was letting people in, and it didn't matter to him personally. He was at home. The old and the young suffer.”

Hearing what Chief Zhang said, the doctor's scalp suddenly went numb, and he directly threatened the young and old. Is your behavior so fucked up? Sleeping in the office, no one is allowed to be disturbed, it's just...

It is either tolerable or unbearable, but in the end, I still have to endure it, and it will only last a month.

"Go, arrange for a few more people to guard the place, and don't let anyone disturb our No. 1 Scholar who is sleeping on duty."

Mr. Lu said that he was sick at home and waiting for the outcome of his retirement, and the affairs of the Ministry of Industry fell on Mr. Lan, the left minister. No, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a director of the war bureau. Even though he is only from the fifth rank, there was someone in the palace during the Taizu years. He is a proper and well-established relative. This type of relatives does not seek wealth, but a peaceful and stable life. When the next generation comes up with talent, it might start again.

The new member of the household department, Mr. Xu, has finally jumped out of Shuntian Mansion, and his official rank has also been promoted. It is not easy.

Mr. Xu, the Yuanwailang, was not at all concealed. After entering the door and being greeted, he asked: "Why don't you see Brother Jia, the supervisor?"

Lord Lan didn't look at him, and Lord Niu didn't explain. Doctor Yu Hengsi stood up helplessly and explained: "I'm not feeling well, and I'm resting in the office." The uncooperative director of the Military War Bureau smiled while holding the tea cup, and quickly put it down. Teacup, turned away.

This person knew something inside, so he found it funny.

The thing is very simple. I thought I could play chess, but the chess piece in my hand burned my hand.

Outsiders don't care about the difficulties of the adults in the Ministry of Industry, and they only accept what they think is the truth.

As long as the three chief officials of the Ministry of Industry have a clear mind, they should ask others for clarification in advance.

Who can be blamed for this? In terms of amount, it's only a few thousand taels of silver. Everyone here, who cares about this little money?
Mr. Xu didn't smile. Zhang Ting'en had told him before he came that he would just deliver the money, and his own accountant would keep an eye on the accounts from now on.

I specifically mention Jia Lian, which also tells you that I have a relationship with Jia Lian.

The atmosphere at the scene quickly became harmonious. The temporary department received an allocation of 10,000 taels and named the temporary firecrackers group. After several bosses confirmed the name, they all gave up. Mr. Yu Hengsi became the doctor. The chief officer who is actually in charge but dare not take charge.

The director of the Military War Bureau didn't care. He only left one sentence to report the progress at any time. Mr. Xu, a member of the Ministry of Accounts, didn't care anymore. He just said, "The Ministry of Accounts has the right to audit the accounts at any time."

MD, just for such a small thing, I sent two people to watch the fun, they were people from other departments.

Master Yu Hengsi really wanted to die. He returned to the office with a dark face and asked the two ministers and four principals to be called for a meeting. If you are a son at the headquarters, you will naturally become a father when you return to Yu Hengsi.

"What's going on? It's just this matter. Your Majesty is paying attention to it, and the elders are also paying attention. What should we do?"

what to do? What the hell! The subordinates looked at each other, but no one said anything. The temporary department, ten thousand taels of silver, is a fat position no matter what, so use this to test the officials? Believe it or not, I dare not reach out!

Isn't this obvious? The stage is set, and the protagonist of the opera has been decided. What can happen to us?

Manager Zhang was still very sensible and cautiously asked: "How about inviting Mr. Jia?"

The doctor seemed to ask casually: "Is he up?" Then he felt that it was inappropriate to have a foreign official present, so he changed his words: "Go and invite him."

Director Zhang quickly fled the scene, and the atmosphere was too unbearable.

After taking a nap, Jia Lian returned to his vigorous and vigorous state. I slept too late last night! I haven't even returned home since I got up in the morning.

The clerk was gargling his mouth and face, and was thinking about what to eat for lunch, when Chief Zhang came in.

"Mr. Jia, is it convenient?" Being polite is really polite. I have no choice but to be rude, and I don't dare to be rude.

"Ang, Mr. Zhang, is something wrong?" He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Jia Lian was completely conscious. Let’s talk about sleeping in the morning. If you say you are sleepy, you are really sleepy. If you say something else, do you understand the resentment? You have to stand in the courtyard so that people can see the resentment rising to the sky!

"In regard to the matter of the Fire Gun Division, the director of the Military War Bureau and Mr. Xu, a member of the Household Department, are waiting at Mr. Langzhong's place."

Um? Jia Lian's head is filled with questions! (I don’t know how to draw, so I’ll figure it out by myself.)
Director Zhang carefully explained: "Isn't this initiated by Master Jia? The headquarters has been transferred to Yu Heng Division, and Master Langzhong is discussing with everyone."

Jia Lian's mind was spinning very fast at this moment, and he thought to himself: If I simply go ahead, what will happen if they point fingers in the future?
"I just want to make a suggestion. I have no other thoughts. I will change my place in a month or so. You don't have to think about it."

Director Zhang didn't dare to go back like this, so he quickly said something nice: "You are too humble. This matter involves ten thousand taels of funds. If you don't pay attention, if something goes wrong in the future, it won't hurt your face if you slap it down." It doesn’t look good, does it?”

If Jia Lian really wants to stay out of the matter, Yu Hengsi will blow up the nest. Well, the headquarters has already been bombed once.

What does it mean? [It seems that you are Yu Hengsi, right? Have you learned to exclude people? 】

There is no need for anyone else to say anything. The two ministers of the Ministry of Industry are worried about the lack of a dead soul to sacrifice the flag under the knife.

They are still young, and they still have the opportunity to struggle and covet the position of minister in this life.

Jia Lian looked like he was thinking, and then Chief Zhang added more fire: "If the matter can be solved satisfactorily, you will look good, and everyone will be able to do business."

"Well, Director Zhang is right, you are a great person." Jia Lian nodded and complimented his colleagues.

Manager Zhang suddenly smiled like a flower, [He appreciates it, he appreciates it. 】

A group of people in the office were in no mood to chat. They just whispered to each other when they were close to each other. The doctor sat at the head of the table like a statue. There were footsteps in the distance, and Jia Lian appeared at the door. Everyone stood up in unison, and when they looked at each other, their eyes flashed.
