On the way back, Gu Haiquan drank flower wine with Lin Zhao, and stepped forward to ask: "Brother Lin, if you just sell those shops, why do you need to find the prefect as a Chinese, and the Heying garrison camp is also willing to be this Chinese?"

"Hehe, Brother Lin, Cao Biaoying is also willing to be this Chinese person. Han Wenchong interjected hurriedly.

There are two of you who are being used as guns, who dares to let you be among them?

Lin Zhao complained in his heart, but he smiled: "Two brothers, the Heying Garrison Camp and the Caobiao Battalion have already walked together with the Salt Patrol Imperial History Yamen, those salt merchants must have scruples, and the Yangzhou prefect is our parent official in one state, Qianli Hou, and it is most suitable for him to come forward as a Chinese person." ”

"I see. The two of them did not doubt him, and nodded again and again, only feeling that what Lin Zhao said made a lot of sense. This Han Wenchong then asked: "Brother Lin, you just said that you have something to consult with you about the Salt Imperial History, I don't know what it is?"

Lin Zhao glanced at Han Wenchong, his face was not obvious, but he lowered him a notch in his heart.

Even Mu Tianyan, the prefect of Yangzhou, didn't ask, but you have the face to ask in a small Yanei.

Could it be that he was beaten by Gu Haiquan at the beginning.

The brain is not bright!

Lin Zhao smiled: "Brother Han, if Your Majesty's will does not come, it is inconvenient for us to disclose it." ”

"Your Majesty......"

As soon as he heard that the emperor had personally inquired about this, Han Wenchong shrank his head in fright and didn't dare to ask any more.

Gu Haiquan's eyes swept over Han Wenchong, and a sneer flashed in his heart.

What Han Wenchong, I think it's Han Silly Chong.

......

"Your Majesty, that Lin Ruhai killed innocents, scraped the ground, the local people were miserable, and the officials at all levels in Yangzhou dared to be angry and dare not speak!"

In the Wenhua Palace, a minister knelt in front of the palace and shouted angrily.

It was five days later.

Thousands of miles away in the Chang'an Palace, the early dynasty has ended, but there is a person who came to the Wenhua Palace where the emperor works, and wrote a letter to impeach Lin Ruhai, the imperial history of Yangzhou Patrol Salt Palace.

The current emperor is Emperor Xiaode, who has reigned for less than a year, and is only forty years old this year, which is the time of his prime.

Emperor Taishang ascended the throne at the age of 20 and reigned for 45 years, but he suffered from a serious illness in July last year, almost paralyzed, and after the illness recovered, he has been repeated, and then in December last year, he retired to Da'an Palace to recuperate.

When Emperor Xiaode dived, he only knew how to do things loyally and never ganged up, so he entered the eyes of the emperor in the fight between many princes and was selected as his successor.

But after all, he is used to being a pure minister, and there are not many powerful people in his hands, so he is often elbowed by some old ministers in the court.

For example, the one in front of you.

It is the founder of the country, the grandson of the Zhenguo Duke among the four kings and eight princes, and now he is the first-class Bo Niu Jizong.

Emperor Xiaode knew that this guy, relying on his noble family background, opened shops in various places, smuggled official salt, and was also deeply involved with the Yangzhou salt merchant Wei family.

The impeachment of Lin Ruhai this time is naturally for his own interests.

Emperor Xiaode quietly watched Niu Jizong howl and said nothing.

That Niu Jizong shouted for a long time, and when he saw that the emperor ignored him, he howled: "Your Majesty, my Niu family is full of loyalty, and the heart of serving the country with fists can be shown to the sun and the moon, and the minister's impeachment of Lin Ruhai is a loyal heart to His Majesty, so the minister thinks that for the sake of local tranquility, please recall Lin Ruhai as soon as possible, and judge him strictly, so as to set the record straight!"

Emperor Xiaode frowned, and the disgust in his heart was even stronger.

Impeachment is played well.

also deliberately dragged the old town out of the country as a weight.

What is I?

What is the old town of your family?

Do you want to blackmail me?

Thinking of this, Emperor Xiaode said lightly: "Niu Aiqing, the salt tax of the treasury has declined over the years, Lin Ruhai has patrolled the history of the salt and managed the local salt administration on behalf of me, and it has only been two or three months, and he has committed such a big crime, I am afraid of alarmism!"

"Your Majesty, you don't know. Niu Jizong kowtowed again and said: "Liu He, the king of Changyi, reigned for twenty-seven days, but he did 1,120 evil things, which shows that the time for doing evil is not short, and if there is such disgusting, there will be evil deeds!"

He said sharply: "Please also ask Your Majesty to quickly issue an order to kill the forest thieves, and return the people of Yangzhou to a clean and fair life to the world!"

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Xiaode was furious!

This aggressive momentum, even the matter of Liu He, the king of Changyi, has been raised, could it be that your grandson of Zhenguo still wants to be Huo Guang?

Emperor Xiaode was furious in his heart, and his face did not show it at all, but he took out a copy from the mountain of music, opened it and looked at it twice, closed it again, and threw it to Niu Jizong's side, and said in a flat tone: "Recently, someone impeached your younger brother Niu Yongxin during his time in Jinling, corrupted the law, and sat on the ground to share the spoils, you can take a look." ”

"What, someone falsely accused my brother?"

Niu Jizong was furious, took the list of concerts, and was suddenly shocked.

It turned out that there were not only the impeachment of Niu Yongxin's corruption and perversion of the law, but also various records of each matter, which were not only excellently written, but also well-organized and very detailed.

According to this recital, he Niu Yongxin can be cut off three times.

Niu Jizong's face was as pale as earth immediately, and he didn't dare to take it big, so he hurriedly banged his head three times, and said in a trembling voice: "The minister is afraid, the minister has no way to teach his brother, and the minister is ......."

"Enough!"

Emperor Xiaode threw a pamphlet to Niu Jizong's side, and said impatiently: "For the sake of the old town and the country, you sent Niu Yongxin's corrupt income to the treasury, these bullshit things, I should have never happened - retreat!"

"Thank you Your Majesty Longen, thank you Your Majesty Longen!"

Niu Jizong hurriedly picked up the booklet and bowed out in a panic.

"Stand down, too. ”

Seeing Niu Jizong withdraw from the hall, Emperor Xiaode waved his hand, and a group of guards and eunuchs poured out like a tide.

Emperor Xiaode waited for a while, and then turned around and greeted: "Old Seven, there is no one in the house, come out." ”

Before the words fell, he saw a person flash out from behind the screen, and said with a sneer: "This Niu Jizong is really arrogant and rude, and his heart can be punished! This Zhenguo Mansion ignores the monarch like this, and it should be used to destroy the family!"

This person is only a few years younger than Emperor Xiaode, but he is very well maintained, and he looks like he is in his early thirties, and his facial features are very similar to Emperor Xiaode, and it is his younger brother Prince Zhongshun.

Prince Zhongshun didn't wait for the emperor to speak, and he was already angry and said: "I think his impeachment of Lin Ruhai is fake, and it is true to weaken His Majesty's wings! Now that my father is weak and sick, he is recuperating in his old age, His Majesty has ascended to the base of the month, and the courtiers have returned to their hearts, and gradually have a situation of being in charge of the world, but it is the former prince, the fifth child, and the sixth child who are not favorable, especially the fifth child, and the four kings and eight princes and others are getting close, and the meaning of this Niu Jizong is obvious!"

"What a clear one!"

The corners of Emperor Xiaode's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sinister sneer: "These moths of the country, sooner or later I will exterminate them!"

It turned out that although the Emperor Taishang was in him because he needed to cultivate his body, he was the emperor for many years and was unwilling to lose power, so in order to balance him, the emperor, entrusted the fifth prince Prince Yizhong and the sixth prince Zhongchun with important tasks, and also approached the former prince and the second prince to Da'an Palace.

And this Prince Yizhong, Prince Zhongchun and the Four Kings and Eight Princes colluded with each other to control the internal and external financial resources, forcing their dignified Ninety-Five Dignity to go out of their way and send the civil officials in the entrainment to Yangzhou to rectify the salt affairs, hoping to obtain financial resources.

Every time he thought of this, Emperor Xiaode hated it.

Prince Zhongshun did not scold the four kings and eight princes with Emperor Xiaode at this time, but persuaded him: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne after all, this matter should not be rushed, and it needs to be done slowly, and I am afraid that I will have to appease them now." For the sake of today's plan, the best policy should be to expand financial resources. ”

When Emperor Xiaode heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he handed a copy of the recital to Prince Zhongshun, and said with a smile: "Why did you say that Niu Jizong wanted to impeach Lin Ruhai, because Lin Qing did it beautifully!"

Prince Zhongshun took the chapter, and after a cursory glance, his eyes couldn't help but straighten: "100,000 taels of gold, 3 million taels of silver, and countless antiques and jades? There are so many shops and fields? In just two months, Lin Ruhai has seized so many taels of silver! He is really His Majesty's Sang Hong sheep!"

Emperor Xiaode nodded and said, "He reported to me privately, thanks to his son Lin Zhao's strong martial arts and decisiveness, so he was able to deter those salt merchants." Seventh, there are so many gold, silver and jewels, I need you to send someone to bring them back! As long as I have these silver taels in my hand, I can show my ambitions!"

Prince Zhongshun agreed, then immediately took a step back, knelt on the ground, and said, "Brother Chen, congratulations to Your Majesty on your grand exhibition. ”

"You seventh, give me a top hat. Emperor Xiaode smiled and asked Prince Zhongshun to stand up, and at the same time got up and left the imperial case, paced back and forth in the palace a few times, and said: "This Lin Zhaoli, the son of Lin Ruhai, has made great contributions, and I should be rewarded,"

He raised his voice and called his henchman eunuch Dai Quan in, and ordered: "Proposed decree, seal Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial Shi Lin Ruhai as a cavalry captain and a cloud cavalry captain, and his son Lin Zhao will be a cloud cavalry captain, and he will be rewarded according to the regulations." ”
