Chapter 714 Hua Xiang, the Red People's Party
Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and three days, the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival in Beijing. On the night of Lantern Festival, several main roads in Beijing were filled with lights and colorful lights, like buildings, layered and layered, competing for beauty. On Ningrong Street outside the Jia Mansion, there were also lanterns and decorations, and children ran and laughed in the streets and alleys. The theater in the Jia Mansion was the most lively.
In the Jia Mansion and in the Grand View Garden, Jia Huan always didn’t like to do face-saving projects. The maids from all over the place spontaneously bought lanterns, hung them, and enjoyed them. Baoyu’s Yihong Courtyard was a big hit.
Tanchun, Yingchun, Xichun and Xichun are also very lively. Daiyu has the strongest financial resources. Since she fell ill before the New Year, she was in a bad mood in the year. Xiangyun returned to Shi Mansion, Xing Xiuyan, Li Wen, and Li Qi were already married.
Baochai is busy with trivial matters. Baoqin will marry Baoyu this year and is also busy making wedding dresses. The Taohua Society and other clubs have been delayed. Even the "Peach Blossom Fan" written by Daiyu and the Jinchai works together.
…
…
The only disadvantage of the Lantern Festival is that Emperor Yongzhi was on the city tower, with the queen, concubines and officials, and then returned to the palace to rest after a while. Then, on the 19th and 23rd day of the Changchao, the emperor still did not show up.
This caused some slight disturbance among the court officials. A censor wrote a letter to ask the emperor how the dragon body was: Please tell your Majesty clearly to the Chinese and foreign countries to calm people's hearts. The memorial was kept and not sent.
During the Twenty-six Daily Dynasties, all officials in the capital were in the Huangji Hall as usual, and the Grand Secretary Hua Mo obeyed the imperial throne to pay homage to the imperial throne. The rituals of the Chang dynasty were completed. Later, all officials retreated from the Huangji Hall one after another.
In the square outside the Huangji Hall, in early spring, the wind was biting cold. All officials were divided into different directions and left the palace. Those who walked east were all bigwigs from the Military Affairs Office and the Central Secretariat who were appointed by Hanlin officials.
The Hanlin Zhongshu Sheren replaced the original function of Zhang Jing of the Military Affairs Office and acted as the secretary of the Grand Secretary. In the Military Affairs Office, there were other minor officials, bookmakers, also known as Zhongshu Sheren. The difference was still very big.
Those who walked south and out of the Meridian Gate were all bigwigs from the Sixth Ministry and other yamen. Sixth Ministry was just outside the Great Zhou Gate. Going west and out of the Xihua Gate were officials of the Three Laws: the Censorate, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple. The yamen of the Three Laws is in Xicheng.
Hua Mo, the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace, was 60 years old and had gray hair. At this age, for the Grand Secretary, he was in a strong and powerful position. He was of medium size, wearing a robe and was very majestic. He followed several officials in the square and waited for Ji Xingsheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, to come over.
Hua Mo smiled slightly, made a gesture, and invited Ji Xingsheng to move forward together, saying, "Zichu, have you read all the reports on the Truth? Jia Ziyu is so fussy! You and Lin Ruhai are friends, how do you think?"
The Changchao ended, but it was around six or seven in the morning. The light was bright. Hua Mo was in the cold wind, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were a little cold.
Since the end of November last year, news that Jia Huan asked the emperor to give his marriage came out, and seven or eight newspapers in Beijing, led by the Great Sunday Newspaper, reported and criticized them. After a whole Spring Festival, the whole story of Lin Ruhai's entrusting his or her orphans to Jia Huan was revealed in the newspaper Truth. There was also the source of money for the construction of the Jia family villa for the construction of the villa.
This kind of report is obvious to me, only the old people in Yangzhou were known to me. Moreover, I also need to have a certain understanding of the situation in the Jia family.
You should know that Pratyekabuddha is an official newspaper, which sells the world and has a terrible influence. Putting such a report... For Jia Huan, maliciousness can be called ulterior motives!
Ji Xingsheng smiled and said, "Hua Xiang. There are so many rumors. Jia Huan and his cousin are in love. This is a pity and regret! Recently, new lyrics have been singing everywhere in Beijing. Hua Xiang has not heard of it? Why do you cry? I remember your life in my heartbreaking voice. Alas..."
He looked at Hua Mo with a smile and said, "How come Hua Xiang cares about such a small matter? I heard that the canal workers on the canal seem to have signs of rebellion, which is worrying!"
Ji Xingsheng said this to Hua Mo.
You should know that in the capital, the affairs of Jia Huan and Daiyu are at most famous and strange stories! And the officials in the temple should care about the national economy and people's livelihood. Are you the ruling prime minister only care about this kind of thing?
Recruiting the canal workers was Hua Mo's political achievements. He was in power in the Military Affairs Office. If something went wrong, it would affect his political reputation.
The smile on Hua Mo's face faded a little, nodded, and said with a smile: "It seems that Zichu is still understanding the inside story!" After saying that, he took the officials around him to the east and headed to Wenyuan Pavilion.
Ji Xingsheng looked at Hua Mo's back, continued walking south with a calm expression, and left the Meridian Gate. In his heart, he was quite disdainful of Hua Mo!
It is reported that during the eleventh year of the reign of Dali Temple, Li Kangshi, he was in Yangzhou as a branch tour guide. This person was Hua Mo's disciple. Zhou Shenxing, the acting editor of the Truth Press, had a distinct trace of the Chu King Party.
Of course, he knew exactly what Hua Mo had planned: it was nothing more than preparing to punish Jia Huan to win the favor of the emperor.
However, the prefect is not concerned about how to govern the country, but rather about how to please the emperor. What is this? He takes up a pit and doesn't shit.
Hua Mo was in power for a year and did nothing. The situation in the country is getting worse. He only thinks about peace everywhere, deceives his subordinates and hides his superiors, and keeps his fans safe. Then, he makes money. What he does is despicable!
A brief conversation between Hua Mo and Shi Lang Ji later spread throughout the capital.
Ji Shilang's word "regret" talks about the sad love story in the hearts of many literati! If you want Lu Fangweng and his cousin..., then...! There is "phoenix head hairpin-red and soft hands" in front of it, and the national dynasty has "Huanxisha-Cancer's Snow-Cringing Light Cold Painting Screen".
Mr. Ji’s statement made the public opinion that was whipping Jia Huan like a slowly reviving spring breeze blowing by!

….
At the end of the first month, the business in Jiaofangsi gradually became popular. The night was as bright as ink, tinting the sky. In the alleys of ours, there were sounds of silk and bamboo, and beautiful smiles were like waves.
In a beautiful embroidery building somewhere in the alley, Yuan Hao, Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, invited Hu Cong, the chief of the Censorate of the Red People's Party, to a banquet for Li Si, the Hanlin Censor.
Hu Cong was 47 years old at the time, a native of Zhejiang, a second-class Jinshi in the Bingchen Certificate. He was in charge of the Ministry of Rites. He was older than Yuan Hao at his age.
Hanlin Censor Li Si was 39 years old, and Hanlin Shujishi served for three years. Those who remained in office were awarded the title of Hanlin Censor, and they were ranked as the seventh rank.
Several of them have a common characteristic, and they are not very satisfied after entering the official career. Not everyone is like Jia Huan, who is successful in his youth. Many people who only passed the imperial examination in their thirties and forties are there. Therefore, the desire for fame and progress is very strong.
Therefore, he deliberately figured out the holy intentions and welcomed the emperor in the court. The emperor always relied on it and rewarded him a lot. He was nicknamed the "Red People Party".
The famous prostitute Cheng Qier was dressed up as a charming prostitute, and brought her maid to the three of them. She was in her twenties and had passed the best age of a popular sister. Generally, she was around 22 years old, even if she entered the end of her career.
Yuan Shaoqing was obsessed with Cheng Qier for many years. Everyone in the capital knew about it. However, for some reason, he had not redeemed him and married him home.
Yuan Hao patted Cheng Qier's perky buttocks under the group and said, "Qier, go and wait for a while. Bingyong and Zishi will talk about things."
"Why did Lord Yuan punish me? With such a great force, I will have to give Lord Yuan three cups in a while." Cheng Qier was coquettish and smiled and took the maids out of the main hall of the embroidery building.
Hu Cong and Li Si turned a blind eye to this.
Yuan Hao took the wine glass and sipped a sip of wine, saying, "Yesterday's court ended. I believe you must have heard of what Hua Xiang and Shi Lang Ji said."
Hu Cong said: "Mr. Yuan, let's forget about this? Hua Xiang... is a tiger-headed and a tiger-headed and a tiger-headed!" Hua Mo, if he was classified, was the Red People Party. Yuan Hao and others are also part of the Hua Clan.
"No," Yuan Hao nodded, smiled again, and said, "Hey, Ji Xingsheng has a very important role in the court. He and Lin Ruhai are friends of the world. His attitude is very convincing in public opinion.
However, Hua Xiang was forced to him in public, and he must have some thoughts in his mind. We didn’t get this jujube, so there was no loss. Hey, don’t worry, the scholar in Jingyuan is more anxious than us.”
This matter was originally managed by Han Jin, the aide of the King of Chu!
