20. Chapter 20
If it weren't for the fact that he had a self-cultivation recipe at hand, it would be difficult to explain why King Yizhong could go to the door of the yamen to block him.
Well, if it weren't for this recipe, Lin Hai would not have this opportunity: seeing that he was going to touch the thunder, the two princes could still come to the door together to explain and remind, and on the second day, he could also meet the righteous and loyal king who had always been transcendent...... Take the initiative to come to the door.
In any case, his Fang Zitong GuΓ² princes prepared a case in front of the saint...... The princes have not yet held the baby, and they will usher in the real one~big~ wave of pursuit and suspicion when they hold the baby successively.
But now let's get past the hurdle in front of us. Lin Hai also wanted to find a good place to talk with King Yizhong.
There were people coming and going outside the door of the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, and the two of them followed the servants and walked out of the palace gate, and King Yizhong asked, "You said that you were looking for me yesterday, why didn't you say anything?" Today......" he looked at Lin Hai, "It seems that you really have a request for me." You didn't like to give me a good face before. β
Isn't that because you're too broad-minded and moody?
Only the two of them were facing each other, and Lin Hai also dared to say, "Who doesn't know that you are so powerful in the capital?" I don't give a good face or not, the result is the same, why should I make myself uncomfortable. β
As soon as these words came out, Lin Hai's long-term entourage looked confused again.
The well-informed henchmen of King Yizhong also couldn't help but look sideways.
King Yizhong clapped his hands with a "snap", "That's right, I'm embarrassed to see you pretend to me." Then he said in a low voice, "In the past, there was an evil fire at any time, but now it is a bit like a world away." You're a great idea. β
After speaking, he also raised his hand and patted Lin Hai's shoulder, "I have to answer all my questions today, and I have said that I treat you as my own." β
Lin Hai simply had nothing to say: worthy of being the former prince, a few random words can make people's hearts break when he has a normal temper.
He sent someone home to report the news, and then he followed King Yizhong to find a place to drink tea.
The places frequented by King Yizhong are actually quite limited, and there are also many henchmen of King Yizhong in that place - after all, he is the eldest son of the Emperor Taishang who has been hurt for most of his life, even if he is quite depressed now...... As the saying goes, there are still three catties of nails in a broken ship, and King Yizhong also has enough means, at least his conversation with Lin Hai may not be able to inquire about the details even if he is a saint.
said that the two of them found a box to sit down, and first ate a few sips of tea to moisten their throats and warm their bodies...... It's already quite cold in the capital in late autumn and early winter.
Today, the sun is abundant, so the box with the large sun-facing window is also very bright. The autumn wind blew outside the window, and the branches and fallen leaves rustled lightly on the window edge, and King Yizhong looked out the window and smiled, "It's a different kind of fun." β
Anyway, Lin Hai can see it: King Yizhong is in a very good mood today.
Before he could figure out how to speak, King Yizhong said first, "This is a long story. My father was able to ascend the throne thanks to the great help of King Suduan, and when he arrived at the Holy Lord, King Suduan also stretched out his hand and pushed it. After speaking, he turned his head and smiled slightly, "But I can't get along with King Suduan." I always feel like he is helping out...... Very interesting. β
King Suduan is the half-brother of the Emperor Taishang and the uncle of King Yizhong. King Yizhong said that he was called the title, and he really deserved the sentence "I can't get along".
Lin Hai said secretly: Where is it just "not compatible".
King Yizhong dared to speak more than Lin Hai, he seemed to hear Lin Hai's heart, "It's polite if you don't get along, I'm almost an enemy with King Suduan, the reason why I say it's about the same, because we can't stab each other with a knife after all." Then he concisely explained the ins and outs of this.
In short, it was for the Emperor Taishang to ascend the throne, and King Suduan gave a large sum of silver; Before and after the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, King Suduan also said, but when Emperor Taishang and the Holy Emperor really took over the six departments of the cabinet, they both found out where King Suduan's silver came from.
King Suduan was not very corrupt, but embezzled, that is, to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall. But the silver that was stolen made the Emperor Taishang and the Holy Emperor spend a lot of money, and they were like swallowing flies, and they didn't say anything about their suffering.
When Lin Hai heard this, he became curious again, "The Emperor? "The Holy Emperor has been on the throne for a long time, but the Emperor Taishang let go, and the Holy Lord has not been in power for a long time.
As for the Emperor Taishang, who has been in power for almost 30 years, can he be unaware of what King Suduan has done?
"Why don't you know." King Yizhong explained, "At that time, King Suduan was the inner treasury, the household department, the salt administration, the Cao Yun, and the silver in the northwest, and he moved a little bit everywhere, and wrote IOUs in accordance with the rules. At that time, everyone owed debts, and he didn't owe much in comparison, and most of them were used on his father, what can his father say? Seizure has always been fully supportive of his own brother? It's just that he dug the corner of his father's wall and fattened himself, and his father still has to remember his kindness, and there is such a good thing," King Yizhong sneered, "In the future, no one will follow suit." β
This breath...... King Yizhong clearly has a grudge against the Emperor Taishang.
Presumably, there have been many disagreements between father and son for King Suduan.
However, no matter how much filial piety is emphasized in this era, it will not be possible to say that the father and son are not speculative, and they can deduct the hat of unfilial piety to their son. The reason why King Yizhong was deposed, Emperor Taishang also said that he was not in good health.
From the perspective of Lin Hai, an outsider, the Emperor Taishang was only afraid that he still cared about his eldest son, and although he later ordered a ban, he didn't actually let his son walk around the capital?
Maybe in his heart, he may not have the son's opinion of King Suduan, but he is wrong. Emperor Taishang recognized his younger brother's dragon skills, where could he slap himself in the face in the back, because this silver would clean up King Suduan.
The Emperor Taishang couldn't clean up his younger brother, and it was even more difficult to do it when he got to the Holy Lord.
King Yizhong's face was full of schadenfreude, and the mockery was overflowing, "My brother can't have a son, what can I do if I change my nephew?" With the change of the Holy Lord, King Suduan is even more bold. In the past, I still had scruples and awe, but now I just want to swallow a large sum of silver when I see it. It's not easy to think about him, there is a large group of warblers and warblers in the back house, and these warblers and warblers and swallows have all given birth to children for him. If you want to support this big family, how can you survive on his income alone? β
Lin Hai didn't answer...... I couldn't answer. He just patted King Yizhong on the shoulder...... Then I came back to the taste, this is not modern, and it doesn't seem appropriate for me to shoot him...... But it's all filmed, and we don't coax it.
King Yizhong didn't have any special reaction, and raised his head and reminded with a smile, "King Suduan has a very good relationship with King Zhongshun, and your first father-in-law can't get along with King Zhongshun." β
Lin Hai's first father-in-law, Jia Daishan, and King Zhongshun were ~political~ enemies at all. After Jia Daishan's death, King Zhongshun still stared at Rongfu for a long time.
Speaking of Rongfu, Lin Hai also has something to say, "The enemy family is eyeing each other, and the family only wants to rely on girls to support the scene, and I can't persuade it, so let it be." β
Yesterday, Wang Chan said that "she used the side room of the Nine Emperor Princes to hook the bait, and Mrs. Wang was immediately moved".
Because Yuanchun Feng Concubine Rongfu ate the sweetness, now the old lady of Rongfu wants to send her own girl to the high gate again and fight for her own wealth, but she never thought of teaching her children and grandchildren to be motivated.
King Yizhong said: "It's good that you can see it." β
Lin Hai's father left early, and his father-in-law Jia Daishan not only admired him very much, but also took care of Lin Hai at the beginning of his career.
If it weren't for this, after Jia Daishan's death, Lin Hai would not have frequent contacts with his uncle for his father-in-law's sake.
However, the current Lin Hai can only ensure that he can get by on face: there are some words that the righteous and loyal king does not need to say thoroughly, and Lin Hai can figure it out by himself.
For example, there is King Suduan standing behind the big case of the household department this time, but neither the emperor nor the saint can help this mastermind behind the scenes for the time being.
Then it is very interesting for the prince to free his head to expose this matter: it is obvious that Wang Ziteng and King Suduan are not the same faction.
Tobe Shangshu and the two squires are both Shengshang's own people, and as a result, they let King Suduan get a lot of money under their noses, and Shengshang is not only embarrassed but also very angry, just like "a lover falls in love with someone else, and I am the last one to know".
So the saint had the heart to mention Wang Ziteng, just to make this person the best "bird". Wang Ziteng is said to be in order to have a career in his career, and anyone dares to bite and fight, and King Suduan is no problem.
After all, in Wang Ziteng's opinion, the Emperor Taishang is already old, and King Suduan has no years left to live. As soon as King Suduan died, there were many fewer worries about settling accounts after the autumn.
Well, Suduan Wang's family is rich.
After saying goodbye to King Yizhong, Lin Hai sat in the carriage and closed his eyes, but he was actually full of emotion.
In other words, in modern terms, hats, tickets, and guns~rods~ have to be pinched in their own hands in order to speak. Otherwise, what is the point of this emperor being restrained everywhere.
So far, the soldier ~ power ~ the saint is not too strong, but the 200,000 forbidden troops are in hand, and the saint is not worthy. There were too many mountains on the other side of the hat, and the saint couldn't occupy the peak for a while, but he immediately took the ticket...... But judging from the big case of the household department, the saint is a bit wishful thinking.
So the saint threw the most responsible and softest persimmon, the original right servant of the household department, into the prison, and then put Lin Hai ~ An ~ inserted ~ into it.
Lin Hai was glad on the way home: fortunately, the saint didn't let him be the first bird, but as a firefighter...... It may not be much happier.
If you think about it carefully, this has something to do with the fact that he was not greedy or blasphemous in the salt administration.
He came to everything in Yangzhou according to the rules, he didn't take much, and the people below couldn't stretch out their hands.
However, even if you take the silver according to the old practice, it is enough to live a nourishing life. As a result, the saint has always been able to get a stable amount of tax money from the salt administration. On this point, the saint did not mean to sacrifice Lin Hai first.
In fact, the choice of the saint is also logical: after a practical official who can concentrate on general affairs, or a noble who is good at speculation and has a big appetite, which one needs to be asked?
The greed of the Wang family is also a clichΓ©, which can be seen from Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, who were raised by his family.
Lin Hai pinched his temples, stepped down from the carriage, and saw his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law standing a few steps away to greet him.
Don't look at Lin Hai after he came out of King Yizhong, he had a lot of worries, but he was actually in a good mood: many questions about drinking tea this time were answered.
Daiyu still stepped forward and grabbed Lin Hai's arm, "You seem to be very happy." β
Lin Hai's empty hand grabbed his daughter-in-law, "Your little face is also red." β
Wang Chan also came over with a smile and took the initiative to say, "Daiyu's little sisters are here." β
The Rong Mansion and the Lin Mansion were too close, so close that the next day they had a post, and the next day the sisters came over to get together, and they said goodbye in the evening and returned home just in time for dinner.
Wang Chan said again: "Baoyu? She looked at Daiyu, "The child who gave birth to Lingyu is also here." By the way, the little girls were sent by the second son of Rongfu Lian. β
Baoyu didn't come over, his daughter-in-law watched it. Besides, Baoyu is not the only one, but also Jia Lian.
Although Lin Hai doesn't look down on the men in Rongfu, but the girls, especially Tanchun, Baochai and Xiangyun, are still very supportive of Daiyu: not to mention anything else, there is no doubt about the talent of these little girls.
But it was said that the family of three went to the house, and Wang Chan suddenly asked, "From King Yizhong...... You know it all? β
Lin Haiying said: "I almost know. How? Do you have anything to add? β
Wang Chan smiled, "King Suduan sent you a post. β
