He has the title of Embroidered Clothes Guard for Thousand Households, and is commanded by Dongcheng, the commander of the five-city army.

What is the concept of these two official names?

If there are 1,000 households of embroidered clothes and guards, that would actually be considered quite extraordinary. Although the 1,000 households of embroidered clothes and guards are only of the fifth rank, there are only four thousand households of embroidered clothes and guards in total.

To be one of them is considered to hold a lot of power.

But adding the word "title" instantly reduces the gold content by more than ten times.

In other words, with such a name, you may be able to receive a monthly salary of ten taels of silver, but you have no real power at all.

As for the command of Dongcheng, the five-city army...

This sixth-grade petty official is quite famous.

The Five Cities Military and Horse Division is responsible for a variety of things, including patrolling thieves and... sorting out streets and cleaning ditches.

Responsible for detaining prisoners, responsible for fire control, and responsible for supervising the city, that is, city officials and urban management...

There are only 500 serious soldiers and bronze waist badges under his command.

But each person will have three to five people, or even more than ten people, to help him.

The salary, salary, soldiers and horses of the helpers are not taken care of, and whoever recruits them is responsible for raising them.

As for where the money comes from, it’s not hard to figure out...

Because of this, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division has a really bad reputation among the people.

Even in the officialdom, he is often looked down upon, after all, he just wastes money...

Jia Qiang was confused, shouldn't he be asked to do big things? Why were he given to such two useless officials?

…

Bu Zheng Fang, Lin Mansion.

Zhonglin Hall.

Seeing Jia Qiang's depressed expression, Lin Ruhai said funnyly: "Don't you have ambitions other than officialdom? Are you still concerned about the size of your official position?"

Jia Qiang twitched the corner of her mouth, and when she saw Daiyu quietly making fun of him, she glared at her angrily, and then replied: "It doesn't matter the size of the official title. Since I have no choice and has to enter the officialdom, I still hope to get it."

A good official. It would be great if the embroidered clothing system for thousands of households could be implemented..."

Listening to his complaints, Lin Ruhai chuckled and said: "You are only sixteen years old this year. If you are asked to be the commander of the five-city army in East City, the noise outside may be quieter. If you are allowed to be a powerful embroidered guard

Four Thousand Households, would you agree to it as an official in the imperial court? Even the Wuying Hall can’t get through."

The Military Aircraft Department is located in Wuying Hall.

Seeing that Jia Qiang was depressed, Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "You kid, you are always smart, why did you get confused at the critical moment? Don't you think about it, if the embroidered clothes guard thousands of households have real power, is it a good thing? You still belong to the eldest master of Tuoxi Mansion in this matter

Fortunately, I have divided most of the Dongfu's family property. Otherwise, it may not be a good thing for you if you really have the official position of embroidering clothes and guarding thousands of households."

When Jia Qiang heard this, she suddenly became alarmed and understood, but she was a little confused and said: "Uncle, the man in the palace is the emperor. What does he want to do, and he still thinks so much?"

Jia Qiang originally just thought that if she didn't receive many rewards and the king's kindness was not great, then when she encountered extremely difficult things, she would choose to work as a foreigner or refuse to accept the offer.

But now it seems that Emperor Long'an has given up on using him?

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "After all, there is still the Supreme Emperor. The reward is not heavy, but he allows you to do dangerous things. Although you are not important, after all, the Supreme Emperor has the dignity of being here. But... don't think that this is how you live.

You have passed this level. Do you know why you are appointed to be the commander of the five-city army in East City?"

Of course Jia Qiang didn't know, Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Because most of the residences of officials in the DPRK are in Dongcheng."

If the house is really searched, I'm afraid Jia Qiang will have to come forward.

only……

"I am the commander of the Military and Horse Division, and my subordinates are all motley crew. How can I still accomplish great things?"

Jia Qiang said in confusion.

Lin Ruhai sighed and said: "That's why I gave you the title of Embroidered Clothes Guard Qianhu. As for my subordinates...it depends on what you can do."

Jia Qiangpin had some taste and sneered: "That's right. It can't be done well. What's bad is your uncle-in-law's important matter. You really use our master and apprentice as swordsmen. They only have two names. You need money but no money. You need money."

There is no one there, but there are people in the Dongcheng Army and Horse Division, but I don’t dare to use the people there. If something is missing when the house is ransacked, it will cause disaster for me."

Lin Ruhai suggested: "Don't be resentful. If I give you a team of soldiers and horses from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, you wouldn't dare to use them. But if I give you a team of embroidered clothes for thousands of households, you would dare to use them? Speaking of which, the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division

It will be ten times easier for you to organize the troops and horses. As for the salary, it is difficult for others, but it is not difficult for you, right? Of course, you cannot use your own money to supplement it. I don’t need to remind you more about this, right?

"

Jia Qiang laughed, and Daiyu couldn't help but said angrily: "Daddy is still Brother Qiang's husband, why don't you look towards him?"

Lin Ruhai laughed, looked at her daughter with her elbows turned out meaningfully, and said: "I'm telling Qiang'er that the emperor has already shown great grace. The title of a noble is one, and the official position is also considered in such a way that Zhou Dang is the second.

.”

Daiyu didn't quite understand what was going on outside, so she looked at Jia Qiang thoughtfully.

Jia Qiang smiled and nodded and said: "From what my uncle said, it's really true. I'll just work hard from now on."

Seeing him like this, Lin Ruhai nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, don't stay at home any longer today. We will open an ancestral hall to worship our ancestors when we get back. After that, although Mr. Dongfu Jing has ignored secular affairs for many years, you

I also want to go to the Taoist temple outside the city to see him."

After Jia Qiang wrote it down, he hesitated for a moment, and then recounted the conflicts that occurred today in Zongren Mansion with Prince Keqin and Prince Zhongshun Li You, and finally said: "My uncle, Prince Keqin Li Yao has a grudge against the Bai family.

As for us, I can understand it. After all, it is right for him to be upset because his major source of wealth has been cut off. We discussed him before when we were in Yangzhou. It's just that Prince Zhongshun Li You had some trouble with the ancestors of Rongguo.

To speak such evil words is really beneath his status."

Hearing that Jia Qiang had a conflict with a prince or a county king when she went out, and was almost beaten, Daiyu and Aunt Mei both turned pale with fright, and looked at Lin Ruhai worriedly.

Lin Ruhai's face also looked solemn and dignified. He pondered for a while and said: "Actually, it's not a personal grudge. It's just that the Xianrong Kingdom had a dispute with King Lao Zhongshun on the battlefield. After the two separated their forces, King Lao Zhongshun was ambushed.

After he died on the battlefield, the Xianrong Kingdom surrounded him from the outside and finally achieved great success. The Zhongshun Palace thought that the Xianrong Kingdom had used the old prince as a bait to harm the old prince. This matter was a big deal at that time, and it even reached the Jing Dynasty.

In the early dynasty, because the old King Zhongshun’s army was wiped out, there was no evidence to prove his death. However, both Shi Zuye and the Supreme Emperor personally interrogated the old Duke’s old troops and confirmed that what happened that year was King Zhongshun’s own fault. Although there was no more trouble in the Prince Zhongshun’s palace later, there was still a dispute with Jia

The family has not been in contact with each other since old age. It seems that the feud has not been resolved yet."

Jia Qiang understood what was said and said: "It's strange that the loyal and obedient king said something rude."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "It's hard for you to maintain the prestige of the Jia family. If it were someone else..." He shook his head and said without saying anything, "You don't have to be afraid. This dynasty is very strict with the clan.

Jue all generations. For foreign ministers, the clan kings do not have much influence. And the clan..."

Lin Ruhai nodded and stopped, but from his eyes, Jia Qiang understood the unfinished words.

There was discord between the emperor and the clan.

But these words cannot be said even in a secret room.

The clan's troubles are difficult for even the Tian family to overcome easily.

Because of the Supreme Emperor's presence, Emperor Long'an has been hiding it for many years...

Jia Qiang stood up and said: "Now that I know the reason, I know it in my heart, and I can't say a word of fear. My uncle, aunt, and aunt, then I will go to Dongfu first. I will meet with Qi Yun in the evening to discuss some matters. I have to go to my uncle's house for dinner, and I may not be able to come back... Well, I will come back no matter how late it is."

Jia Qiang, who was originally planning to stay away tonight, changed her tune immediately when she saw Daiyu's suddenly frowning eyebrows.

As a result, both Lin Ruhai and Aunt Mei's eyes fell on Daiyu's face.

Daiyu's pretty face suddenly became as hot as the clouds in the evening, as hot as fire. She gritted her teeth and spat at Jia Qiang: "You are annoying, aren't you going to leave? Why are you nagging here?"

Jia Qiang, who was thick-skinned, smiled, said goodbye to the pale-faced Lin Ruhai and the smiling Aunt Mei, and then turned around and left.

…

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.

Today Jia Qiang went to the Zongren Mansion to take the exam for the title, but Xifu paid more attention to it than Jia Qiang herself.

Since morning, the main figures of the Jia family have gathered in Rongqing Hall to wait for the news.

After six o'clock, at two quarters of noon, Jia's mother was waiting impatiently, and she didn't have much to say to her two sons. Just when she was bored and didn't want to wait any longer, she saw Jia Lian coming in from outside in a hurry.

Jia She was also extremely bored with waiting. When he saw Jia Lian coming in, he first cursed: "Damn beast, I asked you to go find out the news. As soon as you get the news, you will come back and report back. Where have you been? So... After a long time, could it be possible that we went to the Qinhuai River from Slender West Lake again?"

When Jia Mu and others heard this, they were angry and funny. Only Sister Feng's face looked like that of a dead person...

Seeing Jia Lian's face full of shame, Jia's mother smiled and said, "Don't you think I'm scolding you? Why did it take so long?"

Jia Lian hated him half to death, but he didn't dare to say anything to his father, so he vented his anger on Jia Qiang and said: "It's all the fault of that beast, Brother Qiang, for bringing the Jia family's face into disrepute! Shoot fifteen shots from a horse , one shot missed. He fired fifteen arrows from a single step, but still missed one. Other military tactics and military strategies were also confused... Not to mention these, he also had a quarrel with the emperor's second son, Prince Keqin, and Prince Keqin I almost had someone take him down to beat him! After that, he actually challenged Prince Zhongshun again! I didn’t believe it at first, so I sent money to find three officials at the clan’s residence to ask questions, and they all said the same thing. I heard him say, I still don’t believe that he doesn’t want to inherit the title of Xifu. Now it seems that he really doesn’t want this title, and he did it on purpose!”

Everyone in the Rongqing Hall had different expressions when they heard this.

Jia She and Mrs. Xing are actually somewhat satisfied?

Jia Zheng frowned and said nothing, Mrs. Wang's face was gloomy and scary, and Jia Mu even cursed loudly: "This evil obstacle, this evil obstacle! Okay, okay! If he doesn't give me an explanation today, I will come in with a gold book." Palace, accuse him of a serious crime of disobedience and unfilial piety!!"

In Jia Mu's opinion, Jia Qiang's acceptance of the title and Yuanchun's canonization are linked.

The emperor in the palace wanted to use Jia Qiang, a good minister of the Supreme Emperor, to do great things. Although this was not the main reason for canonizing Yuanchun, it would also play some role.

Now that Jia Qiang is deliberately causing trouble and causing harm to the palace, she fails to succeed and more than fails to succeed. Doesn't it mean that she has ruined the most important issue of the Jia family?

To Jia Mu, this was simply an act of rebellion and rebellion.

Jia She said with added jealousy: "If Jia Chang and Jia Ling were allowed to take the exam, this would not be the case. How dare they!"

Just as Jia Mu was getting more and more angry, suddenly a voice came from outside:

"Second Master Xiaoqiang is here!"
