The day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the empress dowager who had been sick for a long time passed away. The palace ordered the emperor to spread the word to the world. Various mourning articles were published in the newspaper "Prince of Truth".

The Empress Dowager passed away and the spirit was in Cining Palace. Twenty days later, she was sent to the Dongling of Zunhua. The emperor was extremely sad and was said to faint twice in the palace. As a noble family, the Jia family became busy again and participated in activities such as the spirit, sacrifices and other activities.

The death of the empress dowager was like a basin of ice water, suppressing some rising flames. No one was willing to touch the emperor's bad temper at this time. It was not necessary to vent his anger. However, it was just suppressing it. The state dynasty had no two grand clerks in the center, and at least three grand clerks were there. The state dynasty had no prince, and there were two possibilities for the dispute between Jin and Chu.

On the evening of August 18th, Jia Huan was invited to visit Wei’s Mansion in Xianyifang. Wei Kang and Wei Yang accompanied Jia Huan to have a drink in Xiaoxuan.

A few exquisite Jiangnan side dishes are displayed on the round table, which are light and delicious. The wine is yellow wine soaked in Hehuan flowers, which is rich in fragrance, sweet and mellow. It is suitable for drinking at this age of Jia Huan.

Wei Kang was in his thirties and served as a doctor in the Ministry of Works. A handsome man with a clear and handsome appearance and outstanding appearance. His words made people feel like spring breeze and was very friendly. Obviously, this is a very superb knowledge. He can do everything he can on missions and prime ministers.

Wei Kang and Jia Huan touched a glass of wine, drank wine, and smiled and said, "Nephew Jia Xian is in charge of Rongguo Mansion. Yuan Hao is not married yet. I heard that the eldest lady of the Shi Mansion lives in the mansion?"

Wei Dantong was thin-skinned and made his father look like a big face.

Jia Huan understood as soon as he heard it and explained: "Uncle Shi, Miss Shi has been betrothed to the Jingzhao Wei family by the Shi family. He has been engaged. When Xiao Shi Hou took office as the governor of Sichuan, his grandmother couldn't bear to leave Miss Shi, so she took her to stay at home."

The Jingzhao Wei family is the Wei Ruolan family. His family’s ancestral home is in Jingzhao Mansion. Now his son inherits his father’s business and is in the palace guard department.

Wei Kang nodded with a smile.

Jia Huan smiled and changed the topic. He didn't know whether Wei Kang really didn't know Xiangyun's marriage situation or whether it was fake. However, Wei Kang's closeness was fully revealed.

After dinner, Wei Hong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, came back and invited Jia Huan to speak in the study.

Wei Hong changed into a blue scholar's shirt and greeted Jia Huan to sit in the study, and said with a smile: "I asked Zhenbai to invite you to your house for a drink. I have something to ask you. Now everyone in the court says you are one of He Xiang's three major generals. This time the prime minister is vacant, so who do you want to ask?"

According to rumors in the world, He Shuo had three major generals: Xu Cheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Liang Xi, the minister of Dali Temple, and Jia Huan, the Hanlin Secretariat. Corresponding to personnel affairs, the nine ministers, and the road of speech.

Jia Huan smiled. He naturally had heard this.

Jia Huan worked with Wei Hong in Jinling as early as the 12th year of Yongzhi. He had a harmonious relationship. Wei Hong appreciated Jia Huan's talents very much. He had spoken several times in the court. Jia Huan recognized Wei Hong's way of becoming an official.

With Wei Yang's relationship, the two are more like elders and younger generations, rather than superiors and subordinates in the officialdom.

Jia Huan laughed and asked, "Is it because Wei Situ intends to fight?"

Wei Hong smiled and pointed Jia Huan, "You...! I was entrusted by the emperor with an important task. I cannot leave the Ministry of Accounts in a short period of time. I asked for it for Liu Linchuan."

Wei Hong said this a bit domineeringly. But in fact, Wei Hong was a famous capable minister in the court. Then, the Ministry of Revenue was absolutely inseparable from his dispatch at this time. He knew that Jia Huan must have seen the mystery.

Liu Linchuan is the Grand Secretary Liu Feibai. Wei Hong is a good friend of Liu Feibai (political allies).

There was a vacant person in the Grand Secretary. The court was staring at the eyes of the court. The qualified ones were: Wei Hong, Minister of Revenue, Minister of Personnel, Song Pu, Minister of Personnel, Yin Peng, Censor of the Left Chief, Yu Zicheng, Secretary of the Tongzheng Department, and Zeng Jin, Left Minister of Rites, in charge of Hanlin Academy.

Jia Huan curled his smile, shook his head in contemplation, and said, "Master Wei, I don't know the candidate in He Xiang's heart."

Wei Hong sighed softly.

In the past few months, the emperor has repeatedly favored the beauty presented by Princess Yongchang. She became increasingly weak and fainted twice in the palace. It was not the rumored excessive sadness due to the death of the empress dowager. In this way, the emperor will rely more on He Shuo to govern the country.

So, he had to ask Jia Huan, who He Shuo wanted to choose. This was the key.

Wei Hong was silent for a while, took a sip of tea, and asked, "I heard from Yang'er that you were surprised to release? The location of the sixth-grade Hanlin is not easy to find. It is difficult to walk on this road."

He roughly knew Jia Huan's idea. Since he had no chance of career in Beijing, it would be better to go to the local area to operate it. If you have political resources like the Jia family, it was not difficult for Jia Huan to enter the court as a local governor after decades.

At the same time, it was just right to avoid the cruel battle for the throne in the capital. He was bothering about this matter. The King of Jin was trying to win him over intentionally or unintentionally recently.

"Try it." Jia Huan smiled and joked: "I am not satisfied with the Hanlin servant's lecture, and I will be satisfied if I am not satisfied with a fourth-rank magistrate."

Wei Hong laughed at Jia Huan and said with a smile: "What do you think? Where is the 14-year-old prefect? ​​Who are the Ministry of Personnel who are eating? You have to be out of here and be honest as a few assistant officials!"

Jia Huan drank tea with a smile.

Wei Shangshu's time is very precious. After a few chats with Jia Huan, he ended the conversation. Wei Yang kept sending Jia Huan to the door.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the stars are shining in the quiet alley in the autumn night. Wei Yang suddenly said with a little twisted voice: "Ziyu, my father's words, don't take them to your heart."

Jia Huan smiled and patted Wei Yang on the shoulder, and advised: "It's useless for me to go to my heart. The famous flower has a master."

Wei Ruolan died early, not a good match. But what about Wei Yang? He is actually not sure about girls' love, marriage, and other things. It is difficult for honest officials to make up for family affairs. Unlike Yingchun, Xue Ke is basically in the shadow of the Jia family.

Therefore, Luo Junzi loved to cherish spring, and he also took the initiative to push forward. He did not dare to make any move. He randomly ordered a couple to make a spell. Who knows what the result was? This is really not a matter of planting melons and planting melons and getting beans.

Wei Yang sighed sadly, "Yes." He immediately changed the topic and said, "I just talked about you with my father. Ziyu, the emperor doesn't like you, and wants to suppress you. Your career is a dead end. Alas..."

Jia Huan looked up at the bright moon in the sky, "Yuan Hao, in his life, he spent most of his life with the flow. However, since he was in it, he had to struggle for his own life to achieve a good result."

His career can no longer be described as a nightmare level. Instead, it is the highest difficulty. Emperor Yongzhi is not dead. If he wants to be promoted, it really depends on chance and work together. The opportunity cannot be promoted at will. The emperor will not be promoted.

So, just now, Secretary Wei asked him to go to the local area to serve as a second-rank officer. He served for three years and several years, and he served for more than ten years. Maybe he would die today.

However, he had a bold idea in his heart and did not say it out. This was the way he prepared in his plan. Of course, the situation has not reached that point.

Wei Yang smiled. Jia Huan always faced difficulties so positively. He felt a little more uncomfortable in his heart. He watched Jia Huan leave.

…

…

Logically speaking, fighting for the position of a Grand Secretary has no connection with Jia Huan. Even if he is recognized by He Shuo's confidant in and outside the court, what is a little Hanlin?

However, on the stage of Beijing, everyone is in a big net, and if you are not careful, you will be involved.
