Red Mansion: My comprehension is beyond belief, and I have established the Immortal Dynasty!

In the afternoon, at Rongguo Mansion,

Jia's mother was a little tired and took a short rest. Lady Xing, You and other female relatives left one after another. Lin Daiyu, Sanchun and Jia Huan and other younger generations also left Rongqing Hall. Jia She and others invited Jia Xuan to Rongxi Hall.

""My Lord, please have some tea!"

The maid handed Jia Xuan the freshly brewed Mingqian Longjing tea.

""Hmm."

Jia Xuan took it and took a sip, the aftertaste was sweet.

In terms of food, clothing and daily expenses, the Jia family has always been extravagant, and no one in the country can match it except the royal family.

Just like this Mingqian Longjing, the production is very small, and the Jia family sent someone to personally purchase it from the 18 tea trees in front of the Hu Gong Temple at the foot of Shifeng Mountain by the West Lake. This is the"Imperial Tea" personally conferred by the emperor, and only the Jia family has such a way.

"You go down first."

With a wave of his hand, Jia She dispersed the maids around him, his eyes deep and calm.

""Yes."

Seeing that Jia Zheng had the same idea, the maids left the hall one by one.

Suddenly, only Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and Jia Xuan were left.

���She and Jia Zhen looked at each other, and then gave Jia Zheng a look. Among all the people, only Jia Zheng was the one that Jia Xuan respected the most.

"Xuan'er."

Jia Zheng did not hesitate and said,"We are useless and have only insulted our ancestors' reputation."

"You are the only one who fought bravely on the battlefield at a young age and created such a great achievement. Everyone in the court and the public praises our Jia family."

"The atmosphere in Ning and Rong mansions has changed a lot. The children in the mansions have entered the martial arts hall, and even Huan Geer seems to have been reborn."

"All the expenses were paid by the East Court without any intervention from the two governments. This makes us feel ashamed."

"My second brother is right."

"Uncle Zheng is right!"

Jia She and Jia Zhen quickly echoed

"Oh?"

Glancing at them, Jia Xuan smiled faintly:"Uncle Zheng didn't just mention these things today."

"The expenses of the Wu Hall were taken from the East Courtyard. This was my intention. The future of these Jia family children will be decided by me."

"You can take the imperial examination and get your name on the gold list, or take the military examination and be appointed an official or general, or at worst, you can join the Longxiang Guard to hone your skills."

"The two governments are not allowed to interfere in any way. This has been decided long ago."

"It should be so!"

Hearing this, Jia She and others nodded repeatedly.

Just kidding, arranging those children, they don't have such a good leisure time, isn't it good to spend several thousand taels of silver every month on wine and women?

"If that is the case, I think Uncle She, Uncle Zheng, and my elder brother must have something important to ask of me when they invited me here today."

"It's better to be direct. I hate people being shy."

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Jia Xuan said with a serious face.

"Yes!"

Jia Zheng then expressed his thoughts:"In the mansion, we are already old and frail."

"Lian Ge'er and Rong Ge'er are both heirs of the title and will be the future heads of the Ning and Rong mansions."

"They have just been crowned, can you give them some luck? It's up to you to decide how to train them."

"Even if you can't be a marquis or a general, it's still good to have a title."

""Hmm!"

Jia Lian and Jia Rong on the side looked at Jia Xuan pitifully like beggar dogs. Dajing has always respected the nobles. Let alone other things, just the lowest rank of Enqiwei is equivalent to the seventh rank, exempt from taxes and labor, and receive silver.

But the title of Enqiwei requires at least ten beheadings or killing enemy generals to obtain it.

For noble families, how many people are unwilling to go to the battlefield themselves, how can they have a title?

What's more, which noble family is not crowded with people, and there are countless illegitimate sons. Only the eldest son inherits the title, which is not enough.

At this time, Jia Xuan said suddenly:"Why doesn't Zhengshu mention Baoyu."

In comparison, Jia Lian and Jia Rong are still inheritors of the title, but Jia Baoyu has nothing, and he has been deprived of the inheritance right of the second house.

"Humph!"

When Jia Zheng heard Jia Baoyu's name, he was furious:"That bastard is worthy of such a future?"

"It’s better not to offend Xuan Ge’er. The old lady is always worried about him."

"If I live a hundred years later, Langge will find a farm and release him."

Jia She, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, and Jia Rong in the hall all had different expressions, but without exception, everyone believed what Jia Zheng said.

Jia's mother regarded Jia Baoyu as her lifeblood, so how could she not leave all those gold and silver jewelry to him? These things alone were enough for Jia Baoyu to live a rich and prosperous life, what else did he need?

However, Jia Xuan still had a new feeling about the"Second Master Zheng" of Rongguo Mansion. Even Jia She and Jia Zhen were wasting their time here for Jia Lian and Jia Rong, but Jia Zheng was not doing it for his own legitimate son, but out of public interest, for the next generation of Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion.

In the entire Jia family, perhaps the only person whose character is beyond reproach is Jia Zheng. He may be a bit hypocritical and pedantic, but apart from reciting poems and discussing ancient and modern times with the guests in the mansion every day, there is nothing wrong with him. He never lingers in prostitutes. In the family, apart from his wife, Mrs. Wang, there are only two concubines, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao.

On the other hand, Jia She, who is in his forties or fifties, often frequents the most famous brothels in the capital, and none of the maids and servants in the courtyard escape his clutches.

Not to mention Jia Zhen, he is a sex-hungry ghost who does not even let his own daughter-in-law go.

"Uncle Zheng"

"Since it's been mentioned today, I'll make a promise."

"Unless Baoyu has committed an unforgivable crime or murdered his relatives, I will allow him to live in peace for the rest of his life."

"In the future, I will find a secluded manor in my hometown of Jinling for him to live with his wife, concubines and family for the rest of his life."

Jia Xuan promised, facing Jia Zheng's gaze.

Jia Baoyu is just an insignificant idler. To put it bluntly, what bad intentions can a waste have, let alone stir up trouble.

Now that Mrs. Wang has been imprisoned and Wang Ziteng has been exiled, Jia Baoyu's mother's family can't help at all, so there is naturally no need to target this phoenix egg. Moreover, he also wants to use Jia Baoyu to lure out those love debts and evil ghosts in the illusory world.

"Thank you, Brother Xuan.

Jia Zheng was moved, and he stood up quickly and bowed deeply to Jia Xuan.

Jinling was the most prosperous place in the country, not inferior to the capital. The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River was as beautiful as a painting. It was a good thing to place Jia Baoyu there, which was much better than being ignorant and helpless in this capital.

""Huh!"

Seeing Jia Zheng's actions, Jia Xuan felt a little emotional: Poor parents in the world.

After all, blood is thicker than water. Jia Zheng, the elder who pays the most attention to etiquette, actually showed him such a great courtesy, which shows his love for Jia Baoyu.

"Lian's Second Brother"

"Rong Geer has ideas and can understand"

"Why are you joining in the fun?"

"Didn't you just get a cavalry captain a while ago?"

Jia Xuan frowned and looked at Jia Lian in front of him, a little unhappy.

People are never satisfied, a cavalry captain is still a good thing for him. Jia Lian got 6,000 Wuzhumuqin horses and a large number of pack horses, and completed the formation of Longxiang Guard, which added a stroke to Liaodong's military merit book. If Jia Lian inherits Jia She's title without any accidents, he will at least have a third-class general.

"Brother Xuan!"

"You don't know that the clan office has issued new rules for the succession of titles."

"Anyone who inherits the title of an ancestor must have a military merit title in addition to being awarded a title through examination."

"After all, my position as Cavalry Commander is not hereditary, so..."

Jia Lian was not embarrassed at all, and looked at Jia Xuan with ardent eyes.

To put it bluntly, he not only wanted the title of Rongguo Mansion, but also wanted to earn another title.

You know, Jia She is now old and strong, and he can only inherit the third-class general after Jia She dies. The cavalry captain that Jia Lian currently carries is equivalent to a fifth-rank official, and it is not a hereditary title. How can he be satisfied?

"Xuan Ge Er"

"I heard that after the battle, each of the 3,000 Dragon Guards was granted a title."

"Even the most common guards had the rank of Light Chariot Captain, and many of them were generals.

Suddenly, Jia She mentioned something.

"Yes."

Jia Xuan nodded slightly, without hiding anything, and said:"It is true that everyone has a title above the rank of Qingche Duwei."

"Gu Huai, the leader of the Longxiang Guard, was conferred the title of First-Class Viscount of the Guochao Dynasty, and the title was hereditary."

"As long as they are willing, everyone will be demoted to at least a fourth-rank guard commander."

Wow!

Hearing this, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, and Jia Rong all showed envy in their eyes.

The guard commander is already the highest military commander established by the imperial army in the local area. For example, Jinling has Jinling Guard and Xiaoling Guard, commanding 5,600 soldiers, directly under the local provincial government and the Ministry of War.

The commander of Longxiang Guard is actually a first-class viscount, hereditary, which is a rare title in the imperial dynasty, second only to a group of earls.

It should be noted that Longxiang Guard is nominally an imperial army, but in fact it is equivalent to the Jia family's private army. How can Jia Zhen and others not fantasize!

"The title has always been gained through conquest on the battlefield"

"You have to think about this matter clearly."

��After taking a deep look at Jia Lian and Jia Rong, Jia Xuan said meaningfully:

""Brother Xuan/Second Uncle, we have figured it out."

Jia Lian and Jia Rong gritted their teeth and responded solemnly.

Even the little rascals in the Jia family have come to this point, and there are also women in the mansion practicing martial arts.

They are the future leaders of the two mansions, so how can they not grit their teeth and give it a try?

"Brother Xuan!"

"Don't feel bad for this useless guy of mine. If he dies on the battlefield, it's his own fault."

"If I am lucky enough to get a position, my Ningguo Mansion will have a successor, and my father will be very happy."

Jia Zhen stepped forward and added a few words.

Jia Xuan looked at him, with a righteous look, and then looked at the unwillingness in Jia Rong's eyes, as if he understood something, nodded and said:"Starting from the morning hour tomorrow, you will follow the Longxiang Guard to the West Mountain for training"

"If you can pass the assessment within half a year, I will make arrangements."

"Yes, thank you, Brother Xuan/Second Uncle."

When Jia Lian and Jia Rong heard Jia Xuan's words, they couldn't stop smiling and bowed.

""Yes."

Jia Xuan did not say much. They were just two pieces of trash.

As Jia Zhen said, it didn't matter if they died on the battlefield. Did the Jia family still need them?

On the contrary, Jia Rong's departure would expose Jia Zhen. By then, why not clean up the entire Ningguo Mansion?

"Uncle Zheng"

"I have something to say, but I don’t know whether I should say it or not."

Then Jia Xuan looked at Jia Zheng again and said inexplicably:

‘Uh uh!

Jia Zheng was slightly startled, a little confused, and said,"Xuan brother, please speak frankly."

Jia She, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, and Jia Rong around him didn't understand what Jia Xuan meant.

"In the past, Daishan Gong felt sorry for Zheng Shu's love of Confucianism. He failed the imperial examinations many times and was depressed. So he asked the emperor for mercy before his death."

"Therefore, Zheng Shu was appointed as the director of the Ministry of Works. Today, he is barely a member of the Ministry of Personnel, a fifth-rank official."

"The Ministry of Works is responsible for the system of civil engineering construction, the use of tools, the method of dredging canals and dams, and the provisions for the provision of mausoleums."

"He was in charge of all civil engineering, water conservancy projects, machinery manufacturing projects (including military weapons, munitions, military equipment, etc.), mining, metallurgy, textiles and other government-run industries throughout the country, and was also in charge of some financial currency and unified weights and measures."

"It was divided into four departments: the Construction and Maintenance Department, which was responsible for the construction and repair of palaces and government offices; the Yuheng Department, which was responsible for the manufacture, receipt and dispatch of various official utensils, and was in charge of weights and measures and minting coins; the Dushui Department, which was responsible for estimating and canceling project expenses, and was in charge of the manufacture of imperial edicts and official documents; the Tuntian Department, which was responsible for the repair of mausoleums and the verification of expenses, and the payment of materials and part of the taxes.

"

"The most arduous task here is the Ministry of Construction and Cleaning Personnel, and there is absolutely no one to speak of, and there is no hope of promotion."

"Why not resign and see the vastness of the world?"

Jia Xuan took a sip of tea, and there were many metaphors between the lines.

Click!

The atmosphere in Rong Xi Tang suddenly became a little solemn.

Jia Zheng, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Works, was promoted when the emperor was retired. He was a special case among the nobles. He was also personally requested by Jia Daishan, the second generation of Rongguo Mansion. He had an unusual meaning for Jia Zheng and the Jia family.

At this time, Jia Xuan asked Jia Zheng to resign from his official position, which was a bit unreasonable.

"Xuan brother, you have always been cautious and would never do anything rash."

"But the court?"

Although Jia Zheng is pedantic, it doesn't mean that he really doesn't understand the affairs of the court.

"The current emperor is integrating the nobles in order to secure the throne of the emperor."

Looking around at everyone, Jia Xuan said directly:"The reason why the emperor issued that imperial edict is also to eliminate obstacles."

"As the leader of the founding lineage, I am the greatest contributor to the Yongping Campaign and bear the brunt of the consequences."

"The Jia family never supported the emperor, but gave a lot of support to Prince Yi Zhong when he fell."

"Now, if you stop supporting Prince Yizhong, you will be retaliated."

"Today, people are not open-minded, so they are happy to see the Jia family and Prince Yi Zhong's mansion fighting openly and secretly."

"Uncle Zheng is the only official in the Jia family. No matter what, he will be affected. It is better to get out of this situation now."

"Otherwise, it might be too late."

What?

Hearing this, the faces of the people present changed drastically.

No one knew that the Jia family had such an inside story. Even Jia She and Jia Zheng only knew that the Jia family participated in the Nine Dragons' Succession War and did not stand on the side of the current emperor. They did not expect that the Jia family actually supported Prince Yi Zhong and opposed the current emperor.

Now that the emperor has personally cleared all obstacles for Emperor Yongping, if the Jia family does not make any choice, then won't they be waiting to be dealt with?.
