Chapter 915
Rongguo Prefecture, East Road Courtyard.
Early in the morning, Jia Zheng entered the Ministry of Works government office, and received the official document from the Ministry of Personnel and the Dali Temple. The colleagues who were originally flattering and flattering all became faces of avoiding him, being respectful first and then arrogant.
It was Minister Li Dekang of the Ministry of Works who did not show a shallow style and called Jia Zheng to the official office, saying that Jia Zheng was an old man in the Ministry of Works, and it was inevitable that his official career would be ups and downs.
Advised him to return to the mansion first, and he would pay more attention to the rest. Although Li Dekang's words were vague, the dignified Minister had this style, which was also very experienced and rare.
Li Dekang did not fall into the well, but gave Jia Zheng enough face. Although there was the friendship of Jia Zheng working in the Ministry of Works for more than ten years, it was mostly because of Jia Cong.
Jia Cong is no more than sixteen, and now he has illustrious military merit, was promoted to the fourth grade, and holds the title of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works. In the future, asking for the Six Ministries, and entering the cabinet to worship the phase are all expected.
If Li Dekang were a muddled person, he would not be the head of the Ministry of Works. Even if Jia Cong's official position is still lower than him, Li Dekang would not despise and be reckless at all.
Everyone in the Love Shenjing knows the special relationship between Jia Zheng and Jia Cong. Today, even if he is dismissed from office due to matters, he stands behind Jia Cong. Who knows when he will rise again.
Making a face in front of people is too shallow and ridiculous. Li Dekang is smooth and shrewd, naturally he will not do stupid things, and he should do favors without missing a bit.
……
Jia Zheng has also been an official for many years. He has fallen into such a situation, and everyone has to avoid him. Li Dekang's style is already very rare and rare.
He didn't expect that he had just been sent out of the government office, and an official came to the door at this time, indicating that this person knew he was in trouble, otherwise he wouldn't visit at this time.
And this person's identity made Jia Zheng even more confused. Although Wang Furen is a woman in the inner house, she was born in an official family after all, and she is not completely ignorant, so she felt a little strange.
Asked, "Old Master, why is there an official visiting at this time? I haven't heard that the Old Master has dealings with officials of the Ministry of Revenue. What is the background of this Director of the Ministry of Revenue?"
Jia Zheng's expression was confused, but with a trace of inexplicable excitement, said, "This Director of the Ministry of Revenue, Chen Bingzheng, courtesy name Changji, is the eldest son of the Minister of Personnel Chen Mo!"
Wang Furen frowned and said, "The Old Master was suspended and reflected in the mansion, which was the document issued by the Ministry of Personnel. The eldest son of the Minister of Personnel came to visit at this time, what does it mean?"
Jia Zheng said, "Don't talk nonsense. Minister of Personnel Chen Mo was the chief examiner of the spring examination last year, and he is Brother Cong's teacher. Chen Changji is Brother Cong's fellow apprentice."
"The relationship between the two is unusual. Chen Mo had the grace of promotion to the younger brother Ruyuan back then, and the Chen family and the Lin family are also old friends. This relationship is one step closer."
"The Chen and Jia families have the friendship of the master's sect, and now they have begun to walk around. During the New Year this year, Chen Changji took his wife to the East Prefecture to visit Brother Cong as a peer."
"Lin girl came out to receive Lady Chen because of the origin of the Chen and Lin families. It was in Rongqing Hall. I heard about this when I was in the hall, so I remembered Chen Changji's name."
"Chen Changji is Chen Mo's eldest son. He chose to visit at this time. It sounds like he is not shooting without a target. There is always no malice. It is said that there is a turning point……"
Wang Furen felt awkward again after hearing this. Cong brother is simply omnipresent. He is still fighting outside, and the affairs of the Love Shenjing are related to him everywhere.
His teacher just dismissed the Old Master's official position, and in a blink of an eye, the son came to visit. What kind of strange path is this? Is it to come to the door to ridicule the Old Master?
But the Old Master said that this person came to the mansion, and the matter would change. Wang Furen naturally didn't dare to say more, but as long as there was a glimmer of opportunity, Wang Furen didn't want Jia Zheng's official career to be broken.
……
East Road Courtyard, Outer Hall Main Hall.
When Jia Zheng entered, he saw a man in his thirties, looking elegant, gentle, wearing an indigo group flower dark pattern long robe, tasting tea and waiting quietly there.
He saw Jia Zheng entering the hall, stood up and said, "Junior Chen Changji has seen Master Jia. Today I visited the mansion rashly, and I hope the Old Master will forgive me."
Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "Master Chen is polite. You and I are of the same rank. This official... I dare not call myself a senior, please sit down quickly."
Chen Changji smiled, "Yuzhang is a disciple under my father's seat, and he and I are fellow apprentices of the same generation. Master Jia is naturally my senior. This is etiquette."
"I know that the Old Master has just received the document from the Ministry of Personnel and was suspended. Since ancient times, people's hearts are sinister, and it is inevitable that the official sea will float and sink. The predecessor does not need to worry too much."
"Yuzhang is a leader of our generation, not only prosperous in the imperial examination, elegant in literary talent, famous in the capital, but also outstanding in martial arts, illustrious in military merit, stepping through life and death, and loyal to the country."
"He is away at war, protecting the country and the people, supporting the country, and has no time to protect the family. Even if there is a disaster, the water is thousands of miles away, even if he is concerned, he has no time to take care of it."
"My father often says that Yuzhang had a bumpy childhood, thanks to the Old Master's kind heart, discerning eyes, upright and selfless, assisting and teaching, so that he has the pillars of the country today."
"Father once said that a person's life is inevitably flawed, but if you do one good deed, you will get a fruitful result, and you will definitely get extra glory. This is the way of heaven, not to mention Yuzhang's great talent for stabilizing the country."
……
Chen Changji said this, looked at the two maids standing in the hall, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. Jia Zheng realized and hurriedly waved his hand to let the maids exit the hall.
Chen Changji said, "Father said that the Old Master acted carelessly, causing Jia Yucun to have the idea of catering and holding grace, and doing things that violate the law. Fortunately, it did not cause a major disaster."
"The Feng family has received compensation from the Xue family and has long since settled the matter. Although the Old Master committed a crime, it is also considered to have eliminated the hidden disaster of the past and reduced the handle, which may not be a bad thing."
"It's just that Yuzhang has just been granted a new title, the imperial grace is vast, and the court is watching. The first merit of the war against the Mongols belongs to one person's glory. There must be jealous people and sinister people."
"If someone borrows the Feng Yuan matter to play, incite wind and discussion, and shake Yuzhang's military prestige, not only will the war against the Mongols be unfavorable, but it will also hinder the Old Master's turning point."
"Now the official document of the government office has been issued, and the overall situation has been decided. Others have not yet attacked. It is better to be one step ahead and stand in an invincible position, and the room for maneuvering will be greater."
"Now, my father asked me to bring a word to the Old Master……"
……
Jia Zheng has already heard the meaning in the words. Chen Changji's visit must be authorized by Chen Mo. Chen Mo is Jia Cong's teacher, and he has a lot of protection for Jia Cong.
He also mentioned his protection of Jia Cong back then, and there are words about doing one good deed, getting a fruitful result, and getting extra glory, revealing the intention of helping himself to turn around.
Perhaps Chen Mo's move has other deep meanings, but it is not something Jia Zheng can figure out, but Chen Mo has the heart to help, which Jia Zheng is very sure of.
A glimmer of hope rose in his heart, and he said, "Chen Old Master is a senior in the officialdom, with deep talent and virtue, and outstanding wisdom. If you can give advice, Jia Zheng will definitely listen carefully."
Chen Changji lowered his voice and said in a condensed voice, "Because of Yuzhang, the two families are on good terms. I can't bear to see setbacks. The words conveyed by my father are only these four words: Submit a memorial to plead guilty."
Jia Zheng's face turned slightly white after hearing this, but after thinking about Chen Changji's words, he tasted the meaning, his eyes gradually became calm and clear, and his chest rose and fell slightly.
He said, "Jia Zheng has understood his meaning. Please ask Master Chen to convey it to the Old Master. Jia Zheng has been taught."
