The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

But when he saw Jia Lian appearing at the door, his smile immediately stiffened, and his professional enthusiasm swelled: "Jia Houye! The envoy to the country... Jia Lian stepped forward and grabbed his hand," I said, Lord Shang, What are we doing so politely? Tomorrow your duties will be completed, I came here to congratulate you today, and I walked in without saying anything. I can't see that Shang Yijiu is still a trainer, and he must be an envoy. Must have been a general before.

After the two of them were seated, Jia Lian smiled and said: "Let's go public first and then private. Tomorrow's grand dynasty will be held in Ziwei Hall. At that time, we will be guided by officials of Honglu Temple. All etiquette officials will not elaborate, but there is only one thing. Remember not to act recklessly. Otherwise, it will be disrespectful and will hurt the face of the heaven, but your country will be greatly harmful. If you are secluded in the sea, there will be no heavenly soldiers to complain!

That Shang Yijiu stepped up and stood up and cupped his hands: "Returning to the words of your lord, the envoys to the country will definitely follow the rules, and they will not dare to violate the rules for half a step."

Jia Lian grabbed his hand, "Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said, and let the person in front of us do it for us to talk about private affairs, how about it?"

Shang Yijiu wondered, "Dare to ask Mr. Jia what kind of private matter?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "I am dissatisfied with Lord Shang. My family wanted to do business with you when they heard that your country is rich in spices and precious stones."

Shang Yijiu's eyes lit up, but he said, "Master Jia, what you are talking about is a private matter, but it is a state affair that harms the country. The land of the evil country is barren, and the spices and gems cannot be eaten or worn. If it can be exchanged for food and cloth, the country will be fortunate."

Jia Lian said: "This is something everyone knows. You have spice stones, we have grain and cloth, but why is the sea ban every year, that is, we do not trade with you, Master Shang knows the reason?"

Shang Yi said for a long time; "In the affairs of the country, the ministers dare not speak falsely."

Jia smiled and said: "How could Shangren not know? The three families of your country have been fighting each other for a long time. Some are close to the Celestial Dynasty, and naturally some are hostile to the Celestial Dynasty and are close to the Ying Kingdom. You, you should have sent troops to conquer, but you have the virtue of good life, since you are naturalized, you are free."

Shang Yi didn't know what Jia Lian was talking about for a long time, so he asked: "What does Mr. Jia mean? Jia Lian said: "Of course it's a private matter! Since you guys are here to make a deal with you, how can I make a deal with you? ?"

Shang Yijiu immediately stood up happily, bowed in a long bow, "Mr. Jia is so kind, the whole country is very grateful! Is this just a deal?"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "This official is Honglu Temple, and it is the right one. As long as I declare the emperor, I can handle 0."

Shang Yi was overjoyed, rubbed his hands together and said: Dare to ask how much Master Jia needs? "

Jia Lian asked, "How many are there in your country?"

Shang Yijiu was surprised: "What does Master Jia mean?"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "I don't know the situation in your country. If you change the king in your country after a year, wouldn't it be impossible to maintain your brother's presence? So, let's start a one-shot deal. How many of you are there? I am in charge of unified purchase, what do you need, I am responsible for unified purchase. How about such two conveniences?"

Shang Yi didn't believe it for a long time and said, "Master Jia, aren't you lying to the minister?"

So Jia Lian took out a memorial from his arms and handed it to Shang Yi, "I have already drawn up a statement, as long as I am still in the position of the minister of Honglu Temple, this matter is easy."

Shang Yijiu's expression changed, and he said with a smile: "If the emperor of Shangguo does not allow it, it will be a piece of paper? Jia Lian nodded: "That's why I came to discuss with the monk, how to let the emperor pass our proposal to the two countries, You and I have great benefits!"

Shang Yi pondered for a long time, and then asked with difficulty: "Dare to ask what Mr. Jia needs the minister to do?"

Jia Lian chuckled, "Our transaction is open and honest, and it's not some shameful underground conspiracy. How does Master Shang look like this?"

Shang Yi 2,6 and [*] were attentive for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "It is about the safety of the country and the well-being of the people, so the ministers have to be careful!"

Jia Lian clapped his hands lightly and said, "I can see that Lord Shang is a loyal and trustworthy person. As long as Lord Shang can answer a question for me, I promise that after tomorrow's day, the trade you just said will definitely become a reality! How?"

Shang Yi looked at Jia Lian for a long time, "How can this minister trust Lord Jia?"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "The private agreement between your envoy and the Minister of Rites, Dai Shilang, is not secret, and has been detected by the Jinyi Army. The emperor is grateful for your country's journey to pay tribute, and can't bear to hurt the loyalty of your monarchs and ministers. The imperial edict, but the transaction is in the mind of your envoy."

Shang Yijiu's breathing suddenly stopped, and his face became unpleasant, "Master Jia, this matter has nothing to do with the evil country!"

Jia Lian smiled brighter, "Nature and your country are inseparable!"

Chapter [*] I got the wrong script today. Two days passed quickly. When it was time to face the saint in the Daming Palace, the six ministers and ministers of the imperial cabinet were all looking at each agenda item by item. Said, it was out of reach, let it go, only the eyelids drooped as a sign of listening and being taught, in fact, the horse was reined in, and the mind flew out of the sky, just when Jia Lian covered it with a wat board and yawned, there was no such thing as the minister of rites. The minister's conferring matter is over. Dai Shilang first reported the country's embassy's request for canonization, Langon, and handover with the host and guest secretary to check and confirm, and listed them one by one on the booklet. And reciprocate, after asking three or two, begging the Holy Inquisition, and then there is no more"

The emperor asked Jia Lian, "That's all?"

Jia Lian said happily: "That's all."

But some people, a few are unhappy!

Isn't it foolproof? Isn't it said that Jia Lian has already secretly played the emperor? At this point, shouldn't Jia Lian jump out and accuse the envoy of Xiangguo of usurping and improperly conferring gifts, and then we should attack him? Why? The flag is dead? Several people glanced at each other. If the envoy of the country of Qianxiang was left like this, wouldn't the previous plan be in vain 02? It seems that the first set of plans is not working, and the second set is used instead. In the plan, someone impeached Jia Lian, saying that he hooked up foreign envoys, gave and received privately, and regarded the rebels and thieves who were usurped as envoys, bringing shame to the court, and really living up to the saints of the court.

Jia Lian took a closer look, but it was a supervising censor from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Jia Lian immediately asked, "Dare to ask, what evidence do you have that I colluded with the envoy?"

The censor didn't even look at him, "The censor hears the matter, does Mr. Jia have a guilty conscience 2"

"Joke!" Jia Lian said proudly: "I'm sitting up straight..."

Before he finished speaking, another person was actually raised by his subordinate Sifangguan, "Your Majesty, the minister Tan Honglu Temple's minister Jia Lian accepted the bribe from the envoy of Xiangguo, knowing that he was a chaotic official and a traitor and still did not expose it. , should be judged as a law”

If what a censor said was not necessarily true, but the subordinates directly under his command also impeached, then the problem would be serious.

The emperor's face was expressionless, and the order was presented "Jia Lian!"

"I'm here!" He immediately left for work.

"Here it says that you have found records that the late king of Qianxiang Kingdom has only one daughter? Have you verified it?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "I have verified that the record is false!

"How did you verify that?"

Jia Lian said solemnly, "Ask the envoy of Qianxiuguo!

As soon as he finished speaking, he burst into laughter.

Dai Shilang sneered: "Since you have taken his things, naturally you can believe whatever he says!"

The emperor also shouted: "Damn, tell the truth レ"

Jia Lian replied seriously: "Your Majesty, this minister has found out that this record is forged."

The emperor was noncommittal.

Dai Shilang said, "You say that forgery is forgery?"

Jia Lian stared into his eyes and said with a smile: "Because I have already found the fake person. It is estimated that the person is already in the prison at this time, and the minister is right, and the minister has also found the share of incense that they hid. The envoy records the original."

As he spoke, he took out a chapter from his arms and handed it to Shilang Dai for a while, in disbelief. He quietly glanced to the side, and it seemed that the matter was not as simple as he thought. I saw with my own eyes that the envoy of the country of Qianxiang presented a plate of luminous pearls to Mr. Jia! At that time, Mr. Jia and Shang Yi had a long talk! This alone is enough to convict him!

The emperor smiled half-smiling, "So there is a big one?"

Jia Lian's heart was broken, and he quickly explained: "Your Majesty, this minister has been wronged! As mentioned, there must be more than one ten-liter bucket. Since it is a bucket, how many can be put on a plate? Obviously exaggerating! There is only one bucket. !"

The camera immediately grabbed this sentence, "Your Majesty, Jia has already admitted that even if there is only one piece, it is undoubtedly stolen goods! The minister invited the Jin Yijun to search his house to search all the officials in the palace and hide their faces.

Dai Shilang was almost kicked to death!

How stupid this is!

Do you think Jia Lian is a [*]th-grade lord? The founders of the country are nobles, two generations of princes, and he is still a marquis and raids his home for a bead? Niu Jizong, who has always been like a fire, sneered, "What a big tone! Your house is open! The emperor hasn't spoken yet!"

Dai Shilang had to argue, "It's not surprising that you don't choose words!"

Sheng Jizong ignored him and smiled at Jia Lian; "If you are short of that stuff, go to my house and drive a car back! What's the point of being shallow?"

Although Jia Lian doesn't like Niu Jizong's mouth, he still appreciates his support. Who has seen others speak? Jia Lian's popularity is also bad at home. "Students are born, and there is no shortage of these in the family of officials. Since adults are so enthusiastic, they are not good. Refuse, and when the next court is up, the next official must take a bigger car to pull it!"

The two openly offered and accepted bribes in the courtroom, and the amount was huge! Especially those small and poor officials, they were full of grief and indignation!

Even the Censor of the Right City can't see it, so please pay attention to the impact!

The emperor said quietly: "Since Niu Shangshu is rich, why don't you give me a car?"

Sheng Jizong then walked back with a naive smile.

Don't pursue this matter anymore!

"Jia Lian has reported this to me!"

That's it!

"I just said Jia Lian, you are a bad brat, how could you make such a mistake?" Sheng Jizong laughed.

Jia Lian resisted the urge to come forward and beat him, you are the bad embryo, and your whole family is bad!

Sheng Jizong squinted at him: "Why, want to practice? Down to the court, you choose a place, you set the rules, don't think that you are now a marquis, I will let you in the past, I will spare two hands and two, You can beat your father to the ground and be unable to get out of bed for a month!"

Jia Lian almost covered her face... "Sheng Shangshu, this is a court!"

Being interrupted by him like this, the solemn Daming suddenly became active.

A few people exchanged glances in secret, and it was impossible to do anything, and the few people who originally planned to go along did not speak.

Dai Shilang played at this moment: "Your Majesty, this minister thinks that the Sifang Pavilion's promotion is suspected of framing Shangyi, and it is a proper crime!"

283 The speed with which this position changed is astounding.

Jia Lian hadn't spoken yet, but found that he no longer had the opportunity to speak, and he had finished what he had to say.

I couldn't see the emperor's expression clearly, so I just listened to him: "Jia Lian, what do you think?"

Jia Lian sternly knelt down: "Your Majesty, this matter should be investigated strictly! It must be investigated to the end! It was this person who was recorded to the minister that day, and it is also him who is impeaching the minister! It can be seen that he has long concealed evil intentions and set up a trap, etc. The minister jumped in. Now that the minister didn't jump in, he couldn't wait to go into battle in person and ordered the courtier to press the charge. His heart can be punished! And as a member of the Sifang Pavilion, he arbitrarily tampered with the archived documents. Fortunately, the minister found out. A change of person accordingly rejected the request for the canonization of Qianxiang Kingdom, undermining the national prestige of the Celestial Dynasty, and killing the vassal Hanxin was not enough to pay for his crime!"

At this time, the promotion has panicked. This is not the original script. It clearly stated that as long as Jia Lian was pulled down, he would recommend himself to be Hongqing. He whispered to Dai Shilang several times: "Sir, save the next official."

Even tore off his official robe.

Dai Shilang said angrily: "You have done a good deed yourself!" He turned his head and said to the emperor, "This minister agrees with what Lord Jia said, such black sheep should be dealt with seriously."

The strong man broke his wrist, and it was too late. However, he obviously overestimated the emotional intelligence of this promotion. "Lord Dai, if it wasn't for you to explain, how could the lower official have a hard time with Mr. Jia..."

Oh, everyone looked at Dai Yi, and Dai Yi didn't seem to panic at all, "What a bunch of nonsense"

Did you get the wrong script today?

Chapter [*] Jia Lian's True Intention The next day's great court meeting went smoothly. The Ziwei Hall was bright and solemn. With Zhongqing playing bursts of Shao music, hundreds of officials, Liangguan, and court dresses filed in.

It is not the first time that Jia Lian, the minister of the Honglu Temple, has experienced a court meeting as a ceremony guide and a corrector.

Under the flat forehead is the emperor's throne, and the officials below can't see the emperor's appearance at all.

Those who lined up on the outer corridor of the main hall and on the square could not even hear the emperor's voice, only the eunuchs could hear the voices of the eunuchs going up to the emperor, down to the Huangmen, taking a step to say a word, all of them were there. regular.

What is etiquette? The etiquette is standing in the prescribed position and not allowed to move!

When Jia Lian was reciting the Book of Rites that day, he never thought that there would be a day of practice.

All in all, it's boring!

When the court meeting entered most of the way, the court envoy Chao He, who was at the end of the class, bowed his head and walked forward, came to the hall, knelt down three times, and shouted long live!

Every time it hits the floor tile, there is a crisp sound that is not half false.

Dai Quan began to read the imperial decree of Huang Ling, and at the beginning a large paragraph of parallel forty-six, cadenced and drowsy.

"...Shang Yiping, the quasi prince, succeeded him as King Xiang, and the special envoy of the Ministry of Rites canonized Bi Jiyong as the heirloom of the Celestial Dynasty.

The Honglu official said "Rite!"
