[Red House] But for the sake of the king

During the third baptism, Lin Ruhai remembered another thing.It turns out that Jia Lian is now 14 years old and has been walking outside since two years ago.This time I heard that Uncle Lin's cousin Xisan, so he urged his father to take him with him.A few days ago, he had heard from a few wine and meat friends that Uncle Lin was going to be promoted again.He also said that Uncle Lin was highly valued by the Supreme Emperor and the present, and even he gained a lot of face among those people, so he wanted to come to see him today.Although Lin Ruhai and Ding You have been back to Beijing for two years, he has always kept a low profile and is not very close to the Jia family, except for favors during the holidays, he generally does not move around much.

Lin Ruhai was grateful to him for escorting Daiyu back to Yangzhou in his previous life, and asked him to deal with the funeral affairs. Although he didn't know what to do next, he only had a good impression of Jia Lian during those few months, so he was polite.

Jia Lian grew up watching people with winks and used to say nice things.Now is another good time for Lin Ruhai to have a daughter, so he used up all the good words and jumped out like he didn't want money.Jia Amnesty drank on the sidelines, ignoring his hopeless son.Jia Zheng, on the other hand, couldn't hide his embarrassment. He felt that his nephew was really ashamed, and seeing that his elder brother was speechless for a long time, he could only smile awkwardly and pulled Lin Ruhai to say something else.

Lin Ruhai found it funny when he saw the reaction of the three of them.It's just that although Jia Lian was too flattering, at his age, he can be regarded as advancing and retreating appropriately.Jia Zhu is a year older than him, but now he only knows how to spend all day in the study, which is quite similar to his father.It's just that the energy is exhausted because of this, but the gain outweighs the loss.If I remember correctly, Zhu'er seems to have passed away when Daiyu was three or four years old.

On the other hand, Jia Lian, although he failed to make any progress in the imperial examinations, and it was time to get married at that time, the family paid for his future, but he was better at making money for the improvement of man and machine.In these forty-nine cities, if it comes to being well-informed, most people probably can't compare to him.It was also because there were so many cronies and friends outside, that's why he took charge of all matters outside the Rongguo Mansion later.

Seeing Jia Lian's somewhat similar face to his father, Lin Ruhai sighed in his heart, if he could give him a little advice, so that he would not become what his father is now, it would be a merit.In the past, Jia She was also full of ambitions and righteousness, but he didn't know when the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion became a playboy who only wanted to have fun.Mrs. Lin also sighed to Lin Ruhai that day, and sternly warned him, who was still preparing for the imperial examination, not to fail in his studies.

Therefore, when seeing off the guests, Lin Ruhai politely asked Jia Lian to come over to play frequently in the future without restraint.An ordinary person would definitely treat him as polite and not take it to heart.But who is Jia Lian? His skin is more than three times thicker than ordinary people's.Jia Amnesty didn't care, anyway, he didn't discipline his son very much on weekdays, and let him go to heaven and earth to make trouble.But Jia Zheng still felt that Jia Lian was too incapable of reading people's faces, and that anxious look was simply insulting to gentleness.It's just that after learning about those things later, Jia Zheng regretted not calling Zhu'er in the first place.

The official document from the Ministry of Officials came down within a few days, and Lin Ruhai officially took office.With the experience of the previous life, Lin Ruhai didn't encounter too many difficulties this time, and quickly found his position.It has only been three years since he succeeded to the throne. Although the court originally had a lot of manpower, if he becomes the emperor, what he wants is the submission of the entire court.It's a pity that the Supreme Emperor is not too old to be a director. As a former emperor, he still has the highest power now, so how can he let it go so easily.What he originally wanted was an obedient son, a puppet who could be manipulated by him, but now he found that this puppet was actually a fake, and many ideas ran counter to him, so he was naturally even more angry.As a result, new parties came out, the Shanghuangdang and Xinhuangdang.There are also some seemingly neutral people, Lin Ruhai is one of them.

The Lin family has been loyal and loyal for generations, and the ancestors were granted the Marquis of Anle for their meritorious service, which was originally hereditary.It's just that the old master Anle Houlin at that time refused to accept it, and repeatedly declined.That's why Emperor Taizu changed hereditary non-replacement to hereditary three generations, and did not downgrade hereditary nobility.And when it came to Lin Ruhai's father's generation, because of the grace of the current Supreme Emperor, another generation was inherited.It wasn't until Lin Ruhai came here that he was born in the imperial examination.He was promoted so quickly in the past few years because the Supreme Emperor was grateful for the virtuous generations of the Lin family, but he was talented, so he appointed Tanhua and was reused.

At the end of the day, Lin Ruhai was walking and talking with a few colleagues, but it was just a few short words, and the others dare not talk nonsense in this palace.Only a few steps out of the Qianyuan Hall, Dai Quan, the minister in charge of the palace, came over and said, "Master Lin, please stay."

The few people next to him were very winking, so they hurriedly said goodbye and left first.Lin Ruhai felt uneasy, although he could see that person from a distance when he went to court every day, but he was still not prepared to meet him in private.After all, the last time I talked to that person was before I left Beijing for Yangzhou to take up my post.A farewell that day, I don't want to be separated forever.But if it happened again, Lin Ruhai probably would still choose to go to Yangzhou.On this side, it was difficult for him.

Seeing him standing there in a daze, Dai Quan didn't dare to offend him easily, so he had to remind him again, "Master Lin, the Holy Majesty is waiting for your audience in the imperial study."

Lin Ruhai just came back to her senses, feeling a little embarrassed, this Dai Quan was very arrogant in front of ordinary ministers, and he served the Holy Majesty personally, ordinary people would not dare to offend easily.On the contrary, he, no matter in his previous life or now, has always been offended.Although I look down on these eunuchs, they can make things happen after all.Therefore, he could only fold his hands and bowed his body, saying, "I'm sorry to bother you, old minister. I'm in a panic. I don't know why the Holy Majesty summoned my minister?" Then he took out a bank note from his sleeve and stuffed it in.

Dai Quan put his hands in his sleeves immediately, and said with a smile, "Master Lin, you are being polite. It's not a big deal just now. It seems that His Majesty came to Yaxing by chance and wanted to discuss with Master Lin."

Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief, as long as nothing happened.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Lin has arrived."

A slightly shrill voice sounded from outside.The person in front of the desk finished writing a word before he stopped writing, his handsome face with clear lines softened slightly, and he said, "Xuan."

Lin Ruhai lowered his head and bowed his waist all the way, walked in quickly, lifted his robe and knelt down, singing in his mouth, "Chen Lin Hai sees the Holy One, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Jun Qi, the third prince back then, and now the emperor, put his pen on the case casually, frowned slightly, seemed a little unhappy, "Pingshen. You all go down."

Dai Quan lowered his head and took a few steps back, then walked out through the small door, and even the eunuchs and maids with a roomful of attendants left cleanly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Ruhai stood up, still bowing his head, with a respectful and humble appearance, but he didn't look up at the person above him.

Lin Ruhai was thinking about when he would be able to leave the study, and at the same time, he thought that he should first report to the boy to bring a letter home, so as to save his mother from worrying.At the same time, he thought that it was time for Daiyu to wake up and drink the first milk of the day, every day was at this time, no one could be more accurate than her.It wasn't until a pair of bright yellow satin silk pattern dragon and white boots appeared in front of him that Lin Ruhai came back to his senses. He was still in the imperial study room, and his mind wandered under the eyes of that person, but he really returned to life more and more.

"Ruhai," a deep voice came from above, with a little smile, "what are you thinking, so happy?"

Lin Ruhai moved his hand, wanting to touch the corner of his mouth, did he really laugh?But he still held back, since he was reborn, he had Yu'er again, and he was indeed much happier than before.Although he is nearly fifty years old, he still has a lot of childishness.Like what his mother said, Yu'er probably made him live younger and younger.

It's just that although I think so, it is naturally impossible to say it out, "Going back to the emperor, I didn't think about anything."

Jun Qi's brows furrowed even deeper. Without the servants around at the moment, he didn't have to put on airs of the emperor. "Ruhai, you and I are getting closer now. When we wrote poems and talked about wine, you were never so careful."

Lin Ruhai bowed his hands and said, "I don't dare. Back then, I offended the emperor because I didn't know Mount Tai. Please forgive me."

Jun Qi's hand firmly grasped Lin Ruhai's arm, "Ruhai, I said before that we don't need to be so polite in private." It seemed that he also knew that there would be no results if this went on. Turn around, "That day you spoke with certainty, and you will do your best for the court. I still remember that you once said that Wen died to remonstrate, and Wu died to fight. Are you still satisfied with your current official position?"

Lin Ruhai took his hand back, friendship, where is there any friendship.If it is true, what he admires is the high-spirited, unrestrained noble son Anqing, not the emperor who is sitting in the court and holds the power of life and death.He originally thought that the two of them knew each other at a very young age, the friendship of gentlemen, how could he expect that the other party had a lot of background.In particular, the former An Qing became the emperor in an instant, which made him completely cut off his thoughts, and even the last friendship disappeared with the new emperor ascending the throne.Therefore, after returning from Suzhou, he kept his courtier's manners and did not dare to go half a step away.Fortunately, the emperor was busy with stabilizing the court, so he didn't have the desire to visit in private.It's just that hearing what the emperor said now, those who didn't know really thought it was specially given because of his words.

Lin Ruhai stabilized his mind, and replied, "I am terrified. There is an old saying that eats the king's salary and bears the king's worries. The minister will devote himself to the court, and he should do his best to serve him, and he will die."

Jun Qi flicked his sleeves suddenly, turned around and took a few steps back to the table to sit down, as if there was a depression in his heart that was hard to vent, and he felt uncomfortable.But what can he say, what happened that day is naturally his fault in the first place.Although he was visiting privately on Weibo when we first met, it is understandable not to reveal his real identity.But later they got along very well, he still kept his identity a secret, and even avoided going at the Qionglin Banquet that day, in fact, he was afraid that if Ruhai found out his identity, he would lose his identity. A rare friend.It's just that the situation changed drastically later, and Ruhai knew all of this before he explained it, so that he reached the current situation.I want to save it, but I can't do it anymore.

After taking a sip of cold tea, Jun Qi felt better, and said again, "I heard you have a new daughter?"

The stiff expression on Lin Ruhai's face finally softened a little. Now he has a woman and everything is full.There was even a little pride in the voice unconsciously, "His Majesty has taken great care to remember, there is indeed such a thing."

Seeing him like this, Jun Qi felt stabbing in his heart. The illusion that he had kept for so many years should be sober now.When he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse, as if it was squeezed out of his throat, "Zhen, I have prepared a small gift, you can take it back later, it is my kindness. There is something here, you also take it back .I'm tired, you go down."

Lin Ruhai suppressed all kinds of doubts in his heart, and knelt down to rest.When he arrived outside the study, Dai Quan followed, holding a tray in his hand, and handed it to him politely.

Lin Ruhai took the tray, thanked him in a hurry, and hurried home. He had to go back and think about this matter today.

The author has something to say: Oh yes, my second male lead finally appeared.Friendly reminder, this person is the product of someone's abnormality, and there is no guarantee that the three views are complete →→Because a certain gay friend said that I am a stepmother, I plan to try how a stepmother is made.

Also, a correction.It was written earlier that Jia Lian is not masculine, but I was actually wrong. Chapter 21: "That Jia Lian is going to find trouble after leaving Sister Feng. After sleeping alone for two nights, it is very difficult, so I have to temporarily select the handsome ones from among the boys." Let's take it as my setting... The Red Mansion is really getting more and more corrupt, and I am almost dead.
