Chapter 248 The Three Provinces Patrol and the Bachelor
Yang Qinghe did not announce the imperial edict when he entered the door. Jia Cong worshipped him according to the etiquette of Shangguan. Yang Qinghe just nodded. As a veteran of the two dynasties, he felt a lot of emotion. The emperor of this dynasty was powerful and the chief minister also became a person who passed the imperial edict. Xu Jie was reluctant to attack Yan Song, and one of the personal reasons was that Jiajing was powerful. Whether to be the emperor's lackey has always been a secret heart problem of Xu Jie. Now Yang Qinghe also has this feeling.
Seeing Jia Cong reaching out and letting him go first, Yang Qinghe walked towards Rongxi Hall.
Rongxi Hall is the serious lobby of Rongguo Mansion. It was only opened once before, when Cheng Buzhi, the official of Prince Zhongshun’s mansion, came to ask Jia Zheng for Jiang Yuhan. His own courtyard must not be able to entertain guests. The servants also understand that such people need to open the lobby to welcome him.
After passing through the hall from east to west, facing the south hall, the ceremonial door is five main rooms, with the deer-topped and ear rooms on both sides, which are well-connected and magnificent, with a large corridor, and you can go directly out of the gate.
Jia She and Jia Zheng heard the news and hurriedly came out to pay homage. Yang Qinghe entered the main hall and looked at it casually. He looked up and saw a large plaque with red gold nine dragons and green land with three big words "Rongxi Hall" written on it. The line behind it is "Book of the Book is given to Jia Yuan, Duke Rongguo", which contains the "Treasure of Wanji Chenhan" given by the late emperor.
He sat on the Taishi chair beside the table of the red sandalwood carved dragon. He saw a three-foot-high green bronze tripod on the table, hanging on the table, waiting to leak, and a large painting of the ink dragon. On one side is gold and Yi, the other side is glass, two slew of sixteen nanmu chairs underground, ebony couplets on both sides of the door, and a pair of silver-engraved couplets:
"The pearls on the seat shine on the sun and the moon, and the smoke and clouds are shining in front of the hall."
"What a genius of poetry and ceremonies." Yang Qinghe smiled and said, despite his kindness on the surface, he still held his airs and sat upright, and his momentum was higher than Jia She and Jia Zheng's level. He couldn't tell whether it was praise or ridicule in his words.
The three people sitting in the Nanmu chair below were sitting by seniority. Jia Cong lived behind him, and Jia Zheng, who was in the middle, quickly replied: "But relying on the big tree of his ancestors, it made the old master laugh at him."
Yang Qinghe waved his sleeves, opened a simple green bamboo paper, stood up, and looked respectful and solemn: "Jia Xiu received the order."
Jia She and Jia Zheng also stood up quickly and retreated. Jia She just lowered her head obediently, with almost no inner fluctuations. He had long been hollowed out, except for enjoyment, everything was no longer lingering in his heart. Jia Zheng's heart was like beating a drum. Yang Qinghe's first words made people wonder, and it was hard to tell the difference between good and bad.
If Jia Cong had any bad news, his brother Wang Ziteng would die, and his destiny would not be allowed to enter the palace regularly. Then the last hope of the Jia family would be gone.
"The criminal minister respectfully asks the saint for peace!" Jia Cong waved his sleeves, raised his robe and knelt down. Because he was impeached and was waiting to be investigated at home, he claimed to be a criminal minister.
"Sage Gong'an." Yang Qinghe replied on behalf of the emperor, and said meaningfully: "...... Jia Cong, a compiler of the Hanlin Academy, has excellent talents, excellent skills, elegant and elegant, diligent and simple self-cultivation, has no obstacles in filial piety, is familiar with the law and the operation of the yamen, and performs the duties of the king, father and minister... Now he is specially ordered to be a fifth-ranked scholar in the Hanlin Academy, and is promoted to the Sandao Censor of the Censorate. Qin ordered Jia Cong to serve as the inspector of the three provinces of Henan, Shandong and Jiangsu. In addition to the admiral's military affairs, the governor, the governor, the governor, the chief inspector, the academic administration, the prefectures and counties, and any officials, education, punishments, and the money and food are incorrect. He will report major matters and make decisions, and the small matters will be imposed, and the Yellow River channels of the three provinces will be investigated. From now on, we will collect the seal at the Ministry and the departure will be based on the route prescribed by the Censorate. There shall be no delays. I am here."
The inspectors of the three provinces are equivalent to the discipline inspection committees that specialize in supervising the three major provinces and regions. The power is very great. Jia Zheng is crying and worried about gains and losses. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. He is afraid that he will be punished and killed by Jia Cong, but it is fine if he doesn't have any major problems. It is a good omen to be promoted.
"My dear..." Jia Cong knew what Yang Qinghe and the emperor wanted. He was shocked at him first, and then gave him a huge cake. If the foolish and loyal minister was not grateful, it would be a strange thing. Jia Cong burst into tears and looked inexplicably grateful: "...Receive the order, thank the Lord for his kindness, but the weak minister dared not to repay the favor without mercy!"
After receiving the order, Yang Qinghe was very satisfied with Jia Cong's expression. This is what a loyal minister should look like. He narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Jia Shiju, the emperor's grace is so great that many straight ministers have to speak for you."
Jia Cong knew that the fact in front of him was definitely not something that court officials helped him fight for him, but the result that Dai Quan fought for him. Compared with those officials who only talked but did not do anything, the eunuch was much more useful, but he sighed with emotion: "The officials must thank those people well."
As for how to thank him, I have to think about it carefully. Jia Cong gritted his teeth. If he was inspecting other provinces and a group of people in the capital were still attacking him and dragging him down, then that would be a big deal.
Yang Qinghe took a sip of tea lukewarmly. What he was strange was that Jia Cong did not take the opportunity to surrender to him. Even if Yang Qinghe did not form a clique and secretly attached to him, there were still many Jiangnan people who shook flags and shouted for him. These were all the default unspoken rules. All the ministers of the Pavilion had their own secret gunmen and were in a vanguard for the struggle. However, he felt that he was old and had the idea of resigning from his post to enjoy his happiness, so he didn't want to attack Jia Cong anymore. Judging from what Jia Cong did, it seemed difficult to control.
"Okay, our cabinet department will say goodbye. Jia Shidu went to the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Department and the Censorate." Yang Qinghe did not forget to tease him before leaving: "Don't forget to go to the Ministry of Revenue to receive a double salary, and you must not delay your trip."
In addition to the usual investigation, the promotion and decline of officials was recommended by the ministers and the emperor's special order. Jia Cong has now taken the next step.
As for the inspector's censor, he must comply with the regulations of the Censorate. On a certain year, month and day, there are regulations on where you must go, ceremonial guards, food and drink, yamen reception, and post station routes. It is very dangerous if you violate it. You must return to Beijing to report your duties when it expires. The Censorate will record and make a score. The memorial must be submitted to the emperor for major events (refer to "History of Ming Dynasty").
It can be said that the danger and interests of the inspector's censor are consistent, because a seventh-rank official with a low position and great power. Of course, Jia Cong also serves as a fifth-rank scholar in the Hanlin Academy and can impeach the governor and the governor. The power of the inspector can be occupied by the inspector, let alone the matters of prefectures, prefectures, counties, and make quick decisions.
Therefore, in the face of the expansion of the power of the inspector, there are many restrictions. First, there is no special yamen, and one place will not stay for too long. Second, the censor can impeach and supervise each other. Third, the censor is not allowed to take care of his family. Fourth, unless the inspector is specialized in military affairs, the inspector is generally not allowed to interfere in military power. Criminal cases of the official army can only be handed over to the Jingying Governor's Office.
However, Jia Cong still had confidence. To be fair, Emperor Yongle, the boss, regarded him as a solid employee. His failure to accept bribes or land also achieved results. In the three provinces, the emperor also focused on his river management. Yu Qisu was the most serious yellow area. Of course, Jia Cong's legal knowledge could not be found, and his office ability was gradually improving. It was also a challenge to be competent by the censor.
