Bai Que has been kept in the dark about this matter. Because Liwu had his own selfish intentions, he made an agreement with Lin Ruo in private, and taught Lin Ruo to know that the former Nine Star Pavilion Lord secretly told Liwu Xin before his death.

When Emperor Mingzong was still digesting this shocking secret, Lin Ruo continued to talk about the unknown plan of King Ping's remnants: "Over the years, the power of King Ye, King Xuan, and the crown prince have been weakened a lot, but King Ning's momentum has soared, but King Ning has always refused to form a party, and he looks indifferent to the throne, which disrupts their original plan to let several princes who have the strength to compete for the prince die together. ”

"What about you?" Emperor Mingzong looked at Lin Ruo, his dark eyes flashing with a cold light of unknown meaning, "How much have you contributed to it?" ”

Emperor Mingzong's sharp gaze looked at Lin Ruo for a moment, but this girl was too deep in the city, as if he had expected him to ask such a question, and his face did not fluctuate for a moment.

"The prince is small and jealous and unworthy of the big responsibility, King Ye is so happy with his achievements but has no real talent, and King Xuan is gentle and indecisive," Emperor Mingzong sneered and asked aggressively, "Lin Ruo, Lin Ruo, you really know my sons better than me!" Then tell me, what do you think of King Ning? ”

"Your Majesty, King Ning has both civil and military skills, and has a loose temperament, which is really the choice of a benevolent monarch," Lin Ruo calmly followed Emperor Mingzong's intentions, praised King Ning, and then changed his words, "It's just that King Ning has always liked freedom, is not restrained, and does not like government affairs. If Min Hui is for his own selfishness and reluctantly fights for the crown prince, he will really be ashamed of King Ning's care for Min Hui and the Lin family over the years. ”

"Guilt? Guilty! You even feel guilty? Emperor Mingzong looked up and laughed as if he had heard some big joke, and then looked at Lin Ruo with resentment in his eyes, "Then have you ever felt ashamed of me!" I am ashamed of my trust in you, my favor for you, and my indulgence! ”

Lin Ruo's expression was flat, his eyes were as clear as in the past, he looked directly into Emperor Mingzong's eyes without evading it, looked at his chest that rose and fell because of anger, and looked at his hideous green tendons because of anger, for a long time, he solemnly kowtowed to Emperor Mingzong, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, Minhui asked herself, I have never been worthy of your trust, your favor, and your connivance." ”

"You!"

"Don't be angry, please listen to Minhui."

Compared to Emperor Mingzong's anger, Lin Ruo's reaction was really too calm, and her gentle voice seemed to have a calming force, which actually made Emperor Mingzong's anger gradually calm down, and she looked like she was going to listen to what she had to say.

"Since Minhui presided over the Lin family's business, he has never done anything that damages the prestige of the emperor, the face of the court, and the society of Li Min! The treasury has been empty several times, all of which are the methods of Minhui to enrich the treasury by saying to the emperor; Corrupt officials and profiteers in various states and counties colluded several times, deceived the superiors and subordinates, and oppressed the good people, all of which were Minhui trying to share the worries and eliminate the evil for the emperor; Since the Lin family mastered the grain of the whole country, the grain prices of various provinces, states and counties have never been unbalanced due to natural and man-made disasters, making the people unable to pay, so that they starved all over the wilderness; The food and salaries of the armies in the north, south, southwest, and northwest, as well as the garrisons of various provinces, were handled by the Lin family, and there was no slackness, greed, or delay, and there was no delay in the war with the neighbors of the countries because of the grain and grass; Moreover, it also used grain to contain neighboring countries such as Daiguo, Zeguo, and Xishu, as well as barbarian tribes such as Beiqi, so that our dynasty was rich and strong, and there was a faint ...... of hegemony"

Lin Ruo used a clear voice to count the Chens one by one, each of which was not exaggerated, which made Emperor Mingzong more and more silent the more he listened, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became! Grain, iron, cloth, transportation...... The wealth in the hands of the Lin family is far beyond his imagination!

Not only is the economic lifeline of Donglu in her hands, but Daiguo, Zeguo, Xishu, and Beiqi are also under her control!

Moreover, Lin Ruowei never talked about the silver mines that were continuously excavated in Dongying, and the huge amount of gold obtained from ocean exchanges in the New World of America!

Lin Ruo paused and looked at Emperor Mingzong: "Your Majesty, do you still think that Minhui has failed your trust, favor and connivance?" ”

Emperor Mingzong opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word "yes" with a clear conscience.

He secretly thought in his heart, with the wealth and economic lifeline in the hands of the Lin family now, let alone changing a prince, even if he wanted to subvert the country, it might not be impossible!

It is said that the establishment of a country depends on force and the army; However, in order to have force and army, we must first have enough money and food, so that we can respond to all calls and attract people with lofty ideals to vote from all directions.

It is said that to defend a country, it depends on the rule of the culture and the ministers; However, in order to feed the entire bureaucratic system, it is necessary to have sufficient fiscal revenue, so that talented people can build systems and develop industries.

"What about you...... So what exactly do you want to do? ”

Emperor Mingzong's voice was a little hoarse and weak, he looked at Lin Ruo in front of him, this was clearly the little girl he watched grow up, I don't know when he couldn't understand it anymore.

Perhaps, he never understood her.

Lin Ruo didn't answer, but said something else: "Your Majesty, do you know why the imperial grandmother refused to agree to you to admit my mother into the palace back then?" ”

Emperor Mingzong was stunned, obviously not expecting Lin Ruo to mention this.

Lin Ruo looked at Emperor Mingzong, and there was a little sadness in his expression: "If a woman enters the palace, Zongzheng Temple will investigate her life history in detail." ”

Emperor Mingzong pursed his lips, expecting that Lin Ruo should already know, so he said: "What you want to say is that when the first emperor was in power, the Jinling Lin family rebelled?" ”

Lin Ruo shook his head: "Emperor Shengming, this matter has been rehabilitated. It's just that...... Talking about it carefully, Your Majesty, I should call you 'cousin' and the emperor's grandmother 'aunt'. ”

"You, you...... What did you say? ”

"Your Majesty, my maternal grandmother, Liu, is actually the sister of the Duke of Dian and the Empress Dowager Xianruiwen, the fifth lady of the Zhennan Hou Mansion back then, Qu Lianyang. During the reign of the first emperor, she was supposed to be a show girl who was going to enter the palace to participate in the election, but on the way, she fell in love with my grandfather at first sight and made a private lifelong commitment. It was the Empress Dowager Xianruiwen who made a quick decision, declaring that my grandmother was not accustomed to the water and soil, and that she would be exempted from entering the palace after sending the Ming court to return home. Then, on the way back, he claimed to have died violently......"

Emperor Mingzong heard about this for the first time, but he soon understood his mother's good intentions!

However, this is also really ...... Providence makes people!

Lin Ruo kowtowed to Emperor Mingzong again, his eyes blazing: "Your Majesty, when the imperial grandmother was dying, she asked me to swear: do my best to protect the Qu family and be loyal to the country." Your Majesty, you are a wise lord, but the crown prince is not. Now there are unsubordinate people hiding and secretly watching, and there are ill-intentioned people making trouble, Minhui never dares to live up to the trust of the emperor's grandmother, and implore the emperor to worry about the people of the society, Qingjun side, and re-establish the prince!
