After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

The two friends who hit it off at the first sight stayed together until the noon break in the Hall of Martial Arts, and Lin Ruhai had already ordered someone to reserve a box in Taibai Tower and heat the wine.

The servants of the two families who delivered the meals were also notified, and they were sent directly to Taibailou.

At the banquet, the two men boasted about the virtuousness of their wives, showed off their cooks, and recommended several dishes to each other.

Lin Ruhai was fine, he wasn't a glutton, even though the food at home was indeed unique and delicious, it didn't make him lose his composure.

On the other hand, even the sound is different.

He is a natural gourmet, and there is nothing else he likes in his life, but delicious food.

If other young people had just entered the officialdom, they would be told by their family members that they were not allowed to stand out and not be allowed to touch real power.

But even the sound was different.

In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with being a censor, even great!

What are the censor's responsibilities?

Rumors play.

Since you want to hear about things, you can't stay in the yamen all day.

Otherwise, would things come to you on their own initiative?

What kind of scholar doesn't go out and knows everything about the world, that's taken for granted nonsense!

Therefore, the censor is a position that can skip work openly and go to various teahouses and restaurants to taste good tea and food.

No, how can this be called skipping work?

He is obviously loyal to his duty.

Restaurants and teahouses are places where news from various places gathers and distributes. If the censor doesn't go to these places often, how can he know the gossip of each family and report these things to the saint by the way?

Thinking about it carefully, even hearing the sound, I felt: My father is really a real father, he just loves me and found such a good way out for me.

Lin Ruhai couldn't stop laughing after listening to Lian Wensheng talking and publishing an article "On the Loving Father" on the spot.

At the same time, he also wondered: Why didn't Lian Wensheng such a wonderful person in his previous life?Such a person, as long as he exists, cannot remain unknown for a lifetime.

Lin Ruhai doubted for the first time: Is the world I have lived in these three lives really the same world?

He suppressed all these doubts, raised his glass and talked about Emperor Hui of the former court: "I have heard a few old masters arguing endlessly today, and I have some insights. I just don't know, what does Brother Lian think about this Emperor Hui?" look?"

Lian Wensheng replied bluntly: "How else can I see it? This is a ruthless person! I don't believe that group of old scholars can't understand, they just refuse to write the truth."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad."

The reason why he asked this question was because he remembered the phrase "that is, the crown prince can't understand" when he visited the teacher a few days ago.

At that time, Lin Ruhai knew that Wang Ge always felt this way, not because he was really optimistic about the prince, but because he just wanted to maintain the orthodoxy.

The orthodoxy in historical records has never been without the Spring and Autumn brushwork.

What is the Spring and Autumn Brushwork?

To put it bluntly, it is to keep those things that they want to let future generations see, that are in line with their positions and theories; and remove the things that are contrary to them and that are not in their interests.

This is the □□autumn brushwork.

For example, Emperor Hui of the former dynasty.

Why was he not stupid when he first came to the throne, but after several years of being on the throne, he only favored and trusted his ministers?

And why did you wait until the disaster of the humerus in the imperial court was almost over, and then repent?

Don't look at the heated discussions among the group of old masters around "The Prodigal Son Turns Back" and "Repentance", they even fought fiercely for highlighting the early stage or the late stage.

In fact, none of them were willing to write out the real reason.

Because, such an emperor's mentality does not meet the expectations of the courtiers for the "Mingjun Shengzhu". They hope that the future emperors will never know the methods of Emperor Hui, and they will never learn from him!

——The reason why Emperor Hui became a foolish emperor and favored and trusted ministers was simply because the group of so-called humerus ministers in the court had too much control, and they were unwilling to return the rights that should be the emperor to Emperor Hui.

However, Emperor Hui neither wanted to swallow his anger, nor did he want to make the strategy of Huairou slowly figure out, so he simply used the method of thunder and used the courtiers.

He would rather bear the name of a faint king and kill all the old officials who rely on the old and sell the old and refuse to let go of power, so that he can realize his political ideas.

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but think: Fortunately, Emperor Hui is a ruthless person who doesn't care about the name behind him.If the present majesty were replaced, the previous dynasty would probably not have had such a flourishing age at all.

In this way, after the sage, the cruel sixth prince succeeded to the throne, and there was nothing wrong with it.

That is the one who has never been carefully taught by a saint and is not proficient in the emperor's mind at all, so he dared to kill those moths in those countries in a simple and rude way.

However, in the end it was too mean, and he didn't know how to teach his son.

This time, Lin Ruhai really wanted to see: if the crown prince succeeds to the throne smoothly, with a knife as sharp as the sixth prince's, coupled with a crown prince who has both a chest and wrists, what will the world look like?

However, for now, he can only think about it.

In the current situation of Prince Yi, it is indeed a bit difficult to turn over the cards.

At this time, Lin Ruhai never expected that because of his suggestion, after Jia Jing risked his life to admonish him to the death, what kind of coquettish maneuvers would the mad prince have.

The two drank a good meal, and made an appointment to visit each other during the rest, then said goodbye to each other, and went to the yamen separately.

As soon as Lin Ruhai returned to the classroom, Su Shuli came in to exchange tea.

Lin Ruhai asked in a low voice, "Did you see who it was?"

Su scribe shook his head: "I also saw that the few books my lord read recently were a bit messy after I finished sorting out the paperwork yesterday, and I thought about arranging them neatly, only to find that there were a little more things in them. After my lord went out today, it was really A few people went into the Book Pavilion to look up classics, but I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but no one turned to that book.”

Lin Ruhai nodded, and said, "Let's keep an eye on it secretly, don't worry about the others. By the way, when I came out, who was sorting out the paperwork at the south window?"

At that time, Su Shuli had already arrived, and now he thought about it for a while, and he knew who it was: "That is Qi Shuli, who always runs back and forth with Master Wu on weekdays. By the way..."

Clerk Su suddenly thought of something: "Before my lord came to the ministry, there seemed to be rumors that Chief Wu was expected to be promoted to Yuanwailang. Although he didn't say which department he was in, after my lord came, the matter would be over." It's over."

Lin Ruhai was thoughtful: "In this way, I have a problem with this Martial Lord."

Su Shuji didn't speak, but his expression already showed everything.

Lin Ruhai nodded, and asked, "How is this Martial Master doing on a daily basis?"

Su Shuji thought for a while, and replied: "On weekdays, he is kind to others, but I heard that he is a prickly ear, and his family members are very strict, and his money has never exceeded fifty coins. By the way, his wife , is the concubine daughter of Dr. Tobeda."

"Tian Langzhong?"

Lin Ruhai remembered that both the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince had concubines surnamed Tian, ​​and the Prince's East Palace also had a Concubine Tian.Is this a coincidence, or is Tian Langzhong one of them?

"This Tian family is still a big family?" Lin Ruhai thought about it carefully, it seems that there is no big family with the surname Tian, ​​right?

"Hey, what?" Su Shuli said, "The Tian family said it was a family of farming and studying, but in fact, it was only this generation that produced a Jinshi in Tian Lang. It is said that she, a concubine, was born to her childhood sweetheart's cousin. The benefits of petting."

"So that's how it is." It seems that he and the Tian family in the residence of the three princes are not in the same family.

It's not for nothing that he entered the Ministry of Rites these days.Although he didn't get any practical errands, he was very clear about who was close to who among his colleagues, and who didn't have much to deal with.

Of course, since he rejected the invitation of the Three Princes' Party, no one has dealt with him yet, not even the right servant, who is suspected of being a loyal saint, has never looked at him differently.

"Huh?" Lin Ruhai suddenly thought: The person who put something in the book he was reading may not necessarily be the disciple of some prince, but may also be a saint.

Even if he is not a saint, does the right servant really not know?

What if, this is some kind of temptation?

Is he going to take the risk?

Su Shuji asked suspiciously, "What's wrong, my lord?"

"It's nothing," Lin Ruhai sighed, "It's just that there is a piece of barbecued meat that smells delicious, but I don't know if I bite it, whether my mouth will be full of oil, or it will smell unbearable."

Su Shuji laughed: "You have to taste it to know!"

Lin Ruhai was slightly taken aback, and then laughed: "That's right, no matter the smell, you'll only know after you taste it."

——At the end of the day, no matter how young he looks, after all, he has gone through three lifetimes, and he lacks the drive of a real young man.

Su Shuji said: "Since your lord has made a decision, then this subordinate will retire first."

"You go, let me think again."

Although Lin Ruhai didn't look at what was in the book, he couldn't escape the criminal evidence of which prince's person.

Moreover, it is very likely to be the kind that seems to be true and false, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

If he can't see this kind of thing, it's okay, but if he sees it but hesitates to play it, it's giving the person behind the scene a handle.

At that time, he will be able to get on this thief ship if he doesn't.

The reason why Lin Ruhai stood still and pretended to be ignorant before was that he followed the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less, and he habitually protected himself wisely.

In fact, if you think about it the other way around, isn't it an opportunity to show your loyalty to the saint?

Of course, the sage will not care because the news is incomplete and untrue, and even think that he is not good at doing things.

But I also feel that he is loyal and commendable.

After being thankful that Emperor Hui of the previous dynasty was not the character of the current saint, Lin Ruhai was also thankful: Fortunately, the saint of today is not the ruthless person of Emperor Hui of the previous dynasty.If not, for the current plan, he really dare not act rashly.

Lin Ruhai chuckled, bowed his head and took a sip of the tea, already having a decision in his heart.
