Rebirth of the Zhang family in the Red Chamber

After the affairs of Hezong are done, Lin Yuan and Lin Ruhai are not idle. After that, they will move the graves of the ancestors of Lin Ruhai's family who went earlier, and move them back to the ancestral grave of the Lin family in Gusu for burial. Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu will also go The ancestral hall of the Lin family in Gusu worshiped the ancestors. Of course, this matter will have to wait until Lin Daiyu comes back, and we will go back to Gusu to do it together.

Lin Ruhai sent his confidants to his family's ancestral grave to start construction and prepare to move the grave. No one doubted that Lin Ruhai was dying. Many people knew that the movement of Lin's cemetery was the last repair of Lin Ruhai's tomb. .

With Qingzhi's prescriptions for conditioning, Lin Ruhai knew that as long as he could cultivate with peace of mind, don't overwork, and do hard work, he could still be with Yu'er for a few years, and he couldn't be more happy.Originally, I thought about waiting for the Holy Master to call him back to Beijing to take up an idle job, but now I don't want to anymore. Anyway, everyone thinks that he will not live long, so if he is not eligible, he can go to work directly.

Transferring back to the capital, if the Holy Majesty does not approve, Zhishi should not be in the way.After thinking about it, Lin Ruhai wrote another note, not mentioning any credit for his hard work, but only saying that his health was failing, and he could no longer be loyal to the Holy Majesty and the court.

Lin Ruhai was born in Tanhua, and his literary talents are quite remarkable. He wrote a letter of official appointment that was touching. After Lin Yuan read it, he felt that it was high. There was not a single word of credit on the page, but it gave people a feeling that this is a loyal minister. , I'm about to die soon, all I think about is loyalty, my health is failing, and the last request is that I can't wait until the term of the inspector censor expires, and I have to retire now, and I want to retire because I don't want to die in office , I want to complete the handover with the next official as soon as possible, so as not to delay the salt administration.

What a loyal and loyal official who is dedicated to the court and the people. If you don't agree to this, it will hurt the hearts of loyal officials.

There is also a medical certificate attached to the booklet, which was written by an old imperial doctor who returned home. This old imperial doctor has practiced medicine in the palace for 50 years, and he is quite trusted by the old sage. He was also a shrewd man who successfully retired from his old age and returned to his hometown, and the imperial doctor is a high-risk occupation. He was able to stay safely in the palace for so many years. What, it can be seen that he is very smooth.

Lin Ruhai invited him to come for a pulse diagnosis, and explained that he would write a medical certificate and send it to Beijing with the paperwork, intending to become an official.

As soon as the old imperial doctor got his pulse, he knew that Lin Ruhai was about to run out of fuel. If he took good care of him, he might be able to live longer. If he was still exhausted in this salt administration, he might die in a matter of minutes. of.

Both of them are old sage's confidantes, and they also have some friendship. He also understands the situation of Lin Ruhai's family. Thinking of the high-spirited Tan Hualang who was famous all over the capital in the past, now he has become this haggard. It's really chilling to end up with an extinct heir.You said he still has a daughter, how can a daughter inherit the family business, even if he wants to adopt his daughter's heir, this Lin Ruhai will not live until then.

Regarding Lin Ruhai's request, the old imperial doctor agreed without hesitation.As the old sage's confidant, he also felt chills about some of the old sage's behavior. The old sage was very kind to the old people who followed him, especially the Zhen family. Graces are all based on the old saints and can only be possessed by those who have value.

The existence of the Zhen family can check and balance the new emperor and those princes who have other thoughts. The Zhen family's high position depends on the favor of the old sage. As long as the old sage is there, their glory will be there. Only the second prince can continue the glory. Ascending to the throne, under the premise that the second prince did not beat down the new emperor and took over himself, the old sage is their reliance, and they will never have any possibility of betraying the old sage. The Zhen family understands this very well, so the old sage Even if the Holy Majesty abdicates, he is still the most powerful in the court.

It is precisely because of his understanding of the old sage, and as an imperial physician, he has a good understanding of the old sage's physical condition. At that time, when the capital was turbulent and chaotic, he foresaw the future court and even the harem. , it may become even more chaotic, once something happens to him, and on the premise that he is not the only doctor trusted by the old sage, it is unlikely that the old sage will save him, so he will withdraw so early.

Lin Ruhai's current situation is just another ending for him not choosing to retire early and return home.For various reasons, when the old imperial doctor saw the medicine Lin Ruhai was taking now, he was astonished, and if he decided to continue taking it, it might prolong his life for a few years. Even if he knew this, the old imperial doctor would only be amazed It's just that there are people outside the sky and people outside the sky.

The diagnosis is still written that Lin Ruhai is already exhausted.

Lin Ruhai, as a confidant who was placed in Jiangnan by the old sage to manage the salt administration, has a special channel to play directly, besides concealment, there is also an expedited one.

After the scripture was written, it was sent out overnight by Lin Ruhai, and it was in the hands of the old sage two days later.

When the old sage saw the secret booklet sent by Yangzhou, he thought that something big had happened to the Yanzheng government. When he opened the booklet, he was already thinking in his heart that it was written by the emperor, or which son. After opening it and reading it, Sighed, "Wei Ming, go and invite the emperor."

The emperor got the news a day earlier than the old sage. Lin Yuan knew that his brother-in-law was the new emperor's confidant. Yanzheng, with such a fat body, couldn't let it fall into the hands of the old sage.

The old sage seems to be quite powerful now, but he is already very old after all. If he is not reconciled, he can still be in power for a few more years. But your majesty, not to mention it's time for your majesty to be justified. After this year, it must be the present who is in charge of the world.

Although he has embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, the change of secular dynasties has little to do with him, but the Zhang family still wants to become an official. Even if Daiyu's children from the Lin family do not become official, they cannot be ignored by the emperor.

Lin Ruhai, who was chilled by the old sage, naturally did not stop Lin Yuan's actions. His loyalty for so many years was enough, and he wanted to make plans for Yu'er's future.

The news that Lin Yuan passed on to Zhang Yingrui not only included Lin Ruhai's resignation, but also the fact that the two clans were united, and some evidence collected by Lin Ruhai that some officials in the salt administration colluded with salt merchants. Some of them are because their recent actions have become more and more insane, and they have just been collected, and they have not had time to pass them on to the old sage.

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, Lin Ruhai also wanted to hand over these things to the new emperor, but he had no secret channel to contact the new emperor. These things cannot be submitted in an open and honest way. So safe.

Lin Ruhai thought of the evidence of moths that he had worked so hard to find, but he didn't see the old sage doing it, allowing the water in the south of the Yangtze River to be mixed like this. He only hoped that these could be used in the hands of the emperor, and it would not be in vain. those efforts.

Wei Ming, as the old sage's confidant eunuch, naturally didn't need him to run for such a message, even if the message was for the emperor. He turned back into the hall and continued to stand beside the old sage.

As soon as the emperor heard that his father had heard him, he knew that Lin Ruhai's secret book should arrive, so he tidied it up, and after a few words with his confidant eunuch, he left the palace gate, sat on the imperial court, and went to his father's palace. Go to the palace.

"The children and ministers see the father, the father is blessed and safe"

"The emperor is here, get up, come and sit down." The old sage called out only after the emperor performed the salute and knelt firmly.

The emperor also knew that when his father passed on the throne to him, he made the decision because he thought that his life would not last long. When his health recovered, his father regretted it. It's over, there is no possibility of abolishing himself and becoming the emperor.

He understands his father's reluctance, but understanding does not mean he understands, his father has already abdicated, why can't he be a leisurely emperor, but wants to control the government, in order to keep the power in his hands, even regardless of the turmoil in the court, support Those few who didn't give up fought him in the ring.

The old sage doesn't know what the emperor is thinking. This son has nothing special since he was a child. His civil, military and political opinions are not as good as the others. The only thing is that he is still filial. This is the reason why he chose to pass the position to him when he was hit hard at the beginning.

From the old sage's point of view, although the emperor has ascended the throne, when he was the prince, he never held any real power, and he didn't have many confidantes around him. The emperor, apart from this point to make those polite Confucians support him, what else does he have, so even if he is the emperor now, there is nothing to be afraid of.

The old sage's attitude towards the emperor has always been a little slack, the emperor is used to it, he has always been very tolerant, and endured the throne falling on his head, he believes that he can also endure until the power is in his hands, and he can be a veritable emperor. when.

After shouting, the emperor got up quietly, sat next to the old sage, and quietly waited for the old sage to speak.

Even if this son is not a threat to him, just because he is staring at the emperor's name now, the old sage feels uncomfortable every time he sees him, and he wants to let him hang out. After drinking the tea in his hand, the old sage looked at his expression Sitting honestly with a smile, without any dissatisfaction or resentment, the emperor sat down with satisfaction and handed the folder that had been put aside to the emperor, and said, "Look at this"

The emperor knew what it was, but he still took it with a puzzled look on his face. He looked at it, and his face was full of emotion when he looked at it, but he thought in his heart that this Lin Ruhai deserved to be Tanhualang, and his literary talent was really good. Bo's master has come to such a bleak end.

After reading it, the emperor respectfully returned the notebook to the table next to the old sage. The old sage didn't ask, and he didn't open his mouth.

After drinking another cup of tea, the old sage asked, "Lin Ruhai has done very well in the salt administration these years. Originally, I wanted to let him stay in the salt administration for a few more years, but I didn't expect his health to fail. , since this is the case, your majesty, please send a decree to go to Yangzhou, and just approve it."

The old sage spoke, and the emperor opened the door, "Lin Ruhai was the one hand-picked by the emperor back then, and his handsome appearance seems to be not long ago. I think it's really bad health, so I asked to be appointed as an official. , after the minister knelt down, let people go to Yangzhou to pass the decree."

The old sage didn't say anything or a title for Lin Ruhai, and the emperor didn't say anything, so the hall fell silent again.
