Lin Ruhai's salt patrol imperial history served for another year, he simply cleaned up, and found a sunny day in the spring after the year, and went to the capital by boat to report on work. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Lin Ruhai arrived in Beijing, it was only at the beginning of the year that the seal was opened, and the various yamen had not yet recovered from the atmosphere of the New Year, but he didn't dare to snub the emperor, so he took a little rest and went to the palace to ask for a meeting.

This year, the emperor happened to have some ideas, so he announced Lin Ruhai's audience.

When Lin Ruhai entered the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was not looking at the excerpts and was waiting for him. As soon as Lin Ruhai entered the door, he gave a big salute: "Minister Lin Ruhai knocks on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

"Get up." The emperor called directly, Lin Ruhai was as good as a stream, bent down and bowed his head, waiting for the emperor to speak.

"Lin Aiqing~"

"The minister is here."

"Last year's salt tax revenue was not bad, which shows that it is serious."

When Lin Ruhai heard the emperor's praise, he hurriedly knelt down again: "The minister remembers the emperor's promotion, and he doesn't dare to be negligent, he just hopes to work seriously every day and complete the tasks assigned by the emperor as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm." The emperor was comfortable to hear this, so he asked about last year's case.

"Then the matter of the White Lotus Sect thief, I heard that you met it by chance?"

"The minister didn't dare to hide it, it was the minister who sent a small official to inspect as usual, the little official was careful, and found clues during the inspection, and he didn't make a noise, so he quickly came back to report the news, which caught the thieves off guard."

"I also want to thank you for saving my thirteenth elder brother~"

"The minister doesn't dare to take credit, the thirteenth elder brother has the emperor's blessing, so he can be blessed and healthy, the minister is at the right time, it must be the emperor's blessing that gave the minister this opportunity."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, thought for a while, and then asked: "I heard that the thirteenth elder brother sent two nurturing grandmothers to your daughter in order to thank you?"

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he knew that his little tricks before had worked, and he felt a little more down-to-earth, and he held back a smile, but he couldn't bear the name of this private grant: "The minister is afraid!" Last year, the minister's family suffered a great change, the family was in a mess, the minister's wife was scared to the point of illness, the minister's son and daughter were left unattended, and the minister couldn't for a while, so he thought of finding a grandmother in the palace to help raise the children. So the minister wrote to several friends in Beijing, and finally heard a saying that his wife mentioned it at a banquet, just the thirteenth elder brother Fujin heard it, saying that there were two palace maids who were going out of the palace and had nowhere to go, and asked her to go there, so he said peace for the minister, and the minister invited the grandmothers home to worship, and did not see the thirteenth elder brother, let alone thank him? Please Emperor Mingjian! ”

"Hmm... You're a good one. ”

"Thank you for the emperor's praise!"

"Lin Aiqing, you have been in this position of patrolling the imperial history of salt for four or five years."

"Back to the emperor, this year is just the fifth year."

"Okay, don't be nervous, let's chatter. Some time ago, I heard that your family was making a big fuss in Yangzhou. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Ruhai suddenly burst into tears: "The minister wrote about the emperor's maintenance grace. When the minister received the emperor's will in Yangzhou, he knew from the angel that the emperor cared for the minister, and suddenly felt that he had the backbone, and he forced the family to straighten out the affairs at home, and now the family is too peaceful. ”

"Well, I heard that your child was frightened, and since that is the case, I gave him a grace and allowed him to study in the future in the country." The emperor said generously.

Lin Ruhai was overjoyed, and became a little worried, and finally opened his mouth to say: "Back to the emperor, the minister's son has just turned two years old, and it is still a little too early to talk about this study... The minister has a distant son and nephew, because his parents are gone, and the minister thinks..."

"Hahaha~ Lin Aiqing loves children and has far-reaching plans for it!"

"Back to the emperor, the minister is also forced to do so, the minister is at this age, there will be a case in the future, the minister's son is still young, and he hopes that his son and nephew can have a career, and in the future, he will help the minister's son, and I hope that the emperor will forgive his sins." Lin Ruhai affectionately expresses the role of a father who loves his children deeply.

However, this role can impress the emperor the most, the emperor remembered that he had lived by his side for the prince who had lived with him since he was half a year old, and he tried his best to think about how to educate him to learn literature and martial arts, and learn the way of the emperor, this kind of fatherly complex moved the emperor. The emperor raised his eyes and carefully looked at Lin Ruhai's gray hair, he was only in his forties, the elders in the capital were well maintained, and his hair was not as white as his hair at sixty years old. In the past two days, I have asked the Ministry of Officials to send a new man to replace you, you take him back to take over well, and then come back to take up the post after the handover. ”

"Obey the order!" Lin Ruhai thanked him when he came out, only to find that his back was already soaked, the majesty of the emperor was very heavy, if it wasn't for his children this time, he would have continued to report his work honestly, but now it is too dangerous for him to stay in Jiangnan, he must think about his children.

As a result, Lin Ruhai waited for the official document of the Ministry of Officials in the afternoon of the same day, because of the short handover time, Lin Ruhai did not come and went to visit the Rongguo Mansion of the Yue Family, and only asked the little servant to send a post of accusation, and then hurriedly followed the successor of the Salt Patrol Yushi to leave.

That night, the emperor received a secret report, knowing that Lin Ruhai did not connect with any of the forces, but only handled his own affairs seriously, and immediately nodded with satisfaction, and also had a certain arrangement in his heart.

Two days after Lin Ruhai left, Jia's mother saw Lin Ruhai's post in the main room, although she complained a little that Lin Ruhai came and went too quickly, but there was a holy purpose on the side, and Jia's mother could understand him. Only Mrs. Wang was angry for a long time, since Mama Gui was discovered, the Lin family has been giving gifts for a year, as if coping, except for Jia's mother, everyone else's are some worthless native products, this Lin Ruhai is a small character, and Jia Min is a virtuous person, a small family!

Not long after Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing to report on his work and left, a major event spread in Beijing, and this matter still came from the ministry. That is, Lin Ruhai resigned from the position of patrolling the salt imperial history, and Lin Ruhai needed to return to Yangzhou to hand over and enter Beijing, and did not arrange a position for Lin Ruhai. In other words, after Lin Ruhai completed the handover, he only had the false position of a doctor from Lantai Temple, and there was no longer a real job! As soon as this incident came out, all aspects of Kyori reacted differently. But there is always only one central idea, first of all, it is shocking, although Lin Ruhai, who is no less favored by the emperor than the first grade, has actually fallen out of favor! The second is joy, Lin Ruhai is actually idle! In the end, his face was full of doubts, how could Lin Ruhai be regarded as a member of the emperor's right-hand man, how to say that he was idle, he was idle, and he was given an idle errand, the emperor was really becoming more and more elusive.
