[Red House] But for the sake of the king

Regardless of whether the backyard is bloody or calm, it has nothing to do with Lin Ruhai.Apart from going to the yamen every day, he would tease his daughter for a while when he came home, and the rest would be in the study with the group of Qing people.Nothing is more at ease than him.

It's just that Lin Ruhai was afraid to go out these two days.why?This has to be said from three days ago.

Lin Ruhai is a typical southerner with thin hair, so he managed to grow a little beard to make himself look dignified.Otherwise, with his mother's appearance, he really has no prestige.It was also because of the beard that he recently discovered an interesting thing, using the beard to tie Daiyu.Children's skin is tender and sensitive, and they wave their little hands when they are pricked, trying to dodge but can't.Lin Ruhai became more and more interested, teasing her daughter like this every day.

Three days ago, when Tang saw a red spot on Daiyu's arm, she immediately got angry.She was the one who found the two nurses today, and the two maids who followed her, actually think of the child like this?Not knowing how it was done, Tang called all the waiters into the courtyard, kneeling under the sun in June to reflect.

At first, everyone was at a loss.It is said that the old lady is merciful, so why did they suffer this crime without even asking?Recently, the lady is obviously fine, and I haven't heard of any mistakes.

After a cup of tea, Tang asked Chun Yu to wake him up and asked him carefully.The two nurses listened, and then went to look at Daiyu's arm. Sure enough, there was a red spot, which was neither a spot nor a pimple.It was Nading's mother who was still thinking, and immediately thought of the master's favorite action recently, and carefully reported it back.

Tang almost fell down in anger, it was her son, Daiyu's own father who killed her!But these servants can't let it go, "As nurses, you don't even know that children's skin is tender and can't stand being rubbed? The master is a big man, so it's fine if you don't pay attention to these details. I let you wait on the young lady. Just to see that you have some experience, all of you are dead."

Ding boldly replied, "Old lady calm down. The servants have reminded the master, but when the master came to visit the young lady, he never let us come to serve her. So come on..."

Tang stared at each other, and waved them off after a long while.After working for a long time, it was all done by her good son.But after thinking about it, Tang felt that it was too desolate under Ruhai's knees, so he loved the child more.As a result, she began to think of giving him some aunts again.My son is only in his thirties, and he is in the prime of life.The few at home are useless, maybe they can find a few young and strong ones from outside, and they can really win men in one fell swoop.

But this matter is not the most important thing at the moment, Tang shi asked people to watch on the second door, and ordered to call the master as soon as he returned to the house, and said that the old lady had something to say.

Lin Ruhai returned home, hurriedly changed her clothes, and went to her mother's yard.But this invited Ann, but didn't get a word, and was left there in a daze.Lin Ruhai was so filial, so naturally he didn't dare to sit down by himself, so he could only stand on one side, as if he was punished by his husband to stand when he was a child.

Tang stared at Ruhai for a while with a half-smile, and said something, "Well, get rid of your annoying beard; well, don't hug Daiyu again. A good child, all of you The beard is damaged. The skin of such a young child is so tender that most people dare not even touch it with their hands. It’s good for you, just get the beard on, it’s really amazing.”

Lin Ruhai suddenly realized, and blushed in embarrassment.In desperation, Lin Ruhai compromised with his mother, and shaved off the beard that he had managed to grow.Although it is said that "the body and skin are received by the parents", isn't this the mother's order now?

It was okay when he had a beard, but once he lost his beard, Lin Ruhai became the handsome Tanhualang ten years ago again, how could he be a court official in his thirties?However, within a few days, several colleagues asked him about the whereabouts of his beard, and some of them even joked about it.Lin Ruhai struggled to get through the time in the yamen, but fortunately they were not all too busy to panic, and no one said anything after three or two days.

It's just that there is an important matter now, and Lin Ruhai can't take care of it too much. This day, he changed into a sky blue regular dress and brocade robe and went out.

On Qianmen Street, the busiest street in Beijing, a sedan chair stopped in front of an unremarkable study.Lin Ruhai got off the sedan chair, dismissed the servants, and went into the study.Going out from the back door of this study is a narrow alley.Such alleys are not uncommon in the capital.After three or two turns, a small portal appeared in front of him.

Lin Ruhai walked to the deepest part of the alley, knocked on the door knocker three times, and opened it immediately.The house does not show mountains or dews on the outside, but inside it has a unique cave.Walking along the cobblestone winding path, a few feet away is a spacious and bright yard.Under the leadership of the dumb slave, Lin Ruhai waited quietly in the living room he was once very familiar with.

For a long time, Lin Ruhai was a frequent visitor here.Not only this living room, but also the master's study room, it is clear which book is placed in that shelf.Revisiting the old place, Lin Ruhai feels as if he has been separated from the world.Counting down, it has been about five years.I subconsciously wanted to stroke my beard, but I didn't want to touch it for nothing, and then I remembered that I had shaved it three days ago.Lin Ruhai made an inexplicable smile, five years, how many five years does he have left?

As soon as Jun Qi came in, he saw such a scene, the man still loved the stone blue clothes, standing by the window, he thought he looked like this when we first met.She has exquisite facial features and a gentle temperament, but she always likes to dress herself like a poor scholar.His words and deeds have both the unrestrained and unrestrained style of a prince of the Hou's mansion, and the arrogance and self-control of a scholar.It's just that at some point later, what he saw in his eyes was a gentleman who was refined and refined, but in his mind, he thought that Ru Hai was more charming and tactful than a woman when she lowered her head and smiled lightly.It was also at that time that he realized that he actually had such thoughts.

But now, after five years, seeing his old friend dressed up like this again, Jun Qi couldn't help feeling complicated.Especially that smile, it was also here that year, standing by the window like the sea, just looking at him with that smile.He couldn't figure out what it meant, and he didn't want to figure it out.Just because after that smile, Lin Ruhai was just one of the servants, and he was no longer the brother Ruhai who cherished him in other courtyards.

Hearing footsteps, Lin Ruhai knew that there was no one else here, so he hurriedly put away his smile, turned around and knelt down, "I see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Jun Qi's wandering thoughts were interrupted by this kneeling, and the little nostalgia that just surged up has long since disappeared.He seemed to see Lin Hai, the senior official of Lantai Temple, who looked businesslike in the court hall and in the imperial study room again, with a distant tone, as if the acquaintance in those years was just a dream of his own.

Jun Qi sneered and said, "Oh, you still know that I am the emperor. Which minister has the guts like you to summon the emperor at will? I remember that the person who came to see me today is not the emperor."

Lin Ruhai paused, if his memorial could stop the emperor, he didn't have to make such a bad move.He was the last person who was unwilling to meet again in this capacity.

Seeing him lying on the ground, Jun Qi couldn't bear it anymore, "Forget it, get up. Tell me, what's important today, I worked hard to find you here."

Lin Ruhai stood up, lowered his head, seemed not to be affected by the attitude of the person in front of him, and said respectfully, "I don't do anything else today, I just hope that the emperor can take back his order."

Lin Ruhai's memorial lasted for three consecutive days, how could Jun Qi not know his purpose.It's just that the Zhen family is a tyrant in the south of the Yangtze River and the most powerful general under the Supreme Emperor's command. If he wants to completely control the situation in the south, he can only get rid of it.Moreover, the Zhen family has relied on the glory of their ancestors for many years and is used to being domineering. It cannot but be said to be a major cancer in this dynasty.Regardless of whether it was involved in the court struggle, the Zhen family could not stay.

Jun Qi lowered his voice and exerted pressure unconsciously, "Ru Hai, you should know why I moved the Zhen family."

How could Lin Ruhai not know these truths.In his previous life, not only did he not object, but he also actively helped to collect evidence against the Zhen family.Although he was not the one who impeached the Zhen family in the end, he still remembers what kind of situation the emperor fell into after that impeachment.

"Your Majesty, although the Zhen family can't stay for long, their family business is huge. Not only is it in the south of the Yangtze River, but it also has complicated relationships with several families in the capital. If you don't have full confidence in the so-called influence, you must not take it lightly. ah."

With his hands behind his back, Jun Qi walked to the seat and sat down, "I naturally understand this matter, I have asked the people below to investigate, and a lot of criminal evidence has been passed back. Don't worry, I never do anything uncertain. thing."

This is true, Jun Qi has been able to grow from an unknown prince to his current position only because he has always been low-key and calm, reserved and introverted, and in the end he has accumulated a lot of money.It's just that his identity has changed now, Jun Qi, who has been suppressed for three years, an emperor who has passed away, how can he endure such aggrieved.Therefore, I can't help being a little anxious, wishing to get rid of the moths in the court and the minions of the Supreme Emperor immediately.

Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment, then said again, "Of course I know, it's just that the emperor never thought that the Zhen family must have something to rely on to have such power? If you attack the Zhen family rashly, it will endanger the Supreme Emperor's status in the south of the Yangtze River." Benefits, have you thought about your situation? Furthermore, the matter of the Zhen family must involve several major families in the dynasty, the four kings and eight princes in the capital, which family has no connection with him at all? Those who have little acquaintances can naturally Throwing pawns to protect the car, wise to protect the body. But those who have deep acquaintances, even if it is necessary for their own family, they must be supported. When the time comes, you can just..."

If it was Lin Ruhai in the past, he would never say such a thing no matter what, it is simply treason!But now Lin Ruhai knows the development behind him like the palm of his hand.The impeachment of the Zhen family led to a direct confrontation between the emperor and the Supreme Emperor. After many constraints, the emperor had to compromise, and finally dealt with a dead ghost.Although the Zhen family's vitality was also seriously injured after this battle, but the foundation was not damaged, and they became more attached to the Supreme Emperor.Even the big families were so connected that until the time of his death, the Zhen family still occupied a corner in the south of the Yangtze River.

Although he said that he didn't want to deal with these partisan disputes anymore, it's just that he has been an official for so many years, and he has been taught by the court since he was a child. Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are really indelible marks in his bones.What's more, he still remembered An Qing, that was the person he had treated with all his heart.

Hearing what he said, Jun Qi was thinking only for himself, so he couldn't help it.Although he called himself a "minister", but his demeanor seemed to be the appearance of advising him when he was a friend of gentlemen.He himself knew the consequences he might face, but he was somewhat impatient after enduring it for so many years.

Somewhat discouraged, he leaned back on the chair, and Jun Qi said in a low voice, "Then tell me, what should I do. Could it be that I have been doing this puppet all the time?"

Lin Ruhai said, "If you can't eradicate it in one fell swoop, it's better to nibble away. It's okay to break it up into parts."

"What do you mean, cut off his party feathers first? But this, when will it be done." Jun Qi turned the emerald jade ring finger on his thumb. Originally, what he was wearing here should be the Hetian jade finger ring that has been passed down from generation to generation, which is a symbol of the emperor's status. one.But now, that wrench is still on his good father's hand. "I see. Let's leave it at that. I'll let them prepare later."

Lin Ruhai was grateful for his previous kindness, and today he was willing to listen to such offensive words from him, so he wanted to take this matter down in a moment of excitement, "Your Majesty, this memorial, why don't you let the ministers."

Jun Qi stopped what he was doing, and took a deep look at him, "Leave this matter alone." Suddenly he got up and walked to Lin Ruhai's side, as if explaining, "This impeachment memorial is not something everyone can do. It's on. You can play with your daughter at home, I have already selected a candidate."

Lin Ruhai blushed and covered her chin with her hand.

Jun Qi was very surprised, he didn't expect that after so many years, his old habit of blushing still remained unchanged.It's just that it's like the sea, it's pleasing to watch. "Don't cover it up, there's nothing there, so why try to cover it up. Well, I still have a lot of things to do there, so I'll go back first." Enduring the smile in his words, Jun Qi pretended to clear his throat, and added, " This place is still the same as before, if you are free, you can come and sit for a while, it is better than other places." Not only is it stronger, the many new books in the study room are specially prepared for someone.

Because of this sentence, Lin Ruhai froze there.When he regained his composure, the man had long since disappeared.The hand hanging by his side was loosened and then clenched again, to live a new life, he also wanted to experience the boldness and unrestrainedness of running a flat boat, and he didn't want to be burdened by the world.It's just that he lives in the mortal world after all, is responsible for the family, and cares about the eyes of the world.It is said that Lin Ruhai is a literati, but in fact, he knows in his heart that he is just a vulgar person, vulgar, vulgar!

The author has something to say: Beard... If it is unreasonable, please ignore it, it is really my personal obsession.I've hated beards for a long time...
