[Red House] But for the sake of the king

Lin Ruhai's first-grade top-ranking official had not been warmed up yet, but was read by a former colleague and the new doctor of Lantai Temple.What was impeached was that he was corrupt and perverted the law when he was the patrolling salt censor, accepted bribes from salt merchants, and colluded with officials and businessmen, which led to the corruption of the salt transportation in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River.It was originally a special secret document, but Jun Qi read this memorial at the court meeting.

Jun Qi was sitting on the dragon chair, and the bright yellow dragon robe made him even more imposing, giving him a more aggressive aura, "All the loves can hear you clearly, tell me, what do you think?"

Everyone in the underground felt shocked when they heard the thunder, and they stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.Those little officials who were almost standing outside the main hall from a distance had always followed the movements ahead, and now they didn't know what happened ahead, but stood with their hands tied as usual, just waiting to go down.The few adults who had good friends with Lin Ruhai did not dare to speak easily, not because they were afraid of getting burned, but because they had a deep friendship, it was inevitable that they would increase their tongues.

"Report to the emperor, I have something to say." It was Zhan You, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who stood up.

Jun Qi waved his hand, "Speak."

Zhan You paid a salute before opening his mouth and said, "It's my humble opinion, not to mention the position of inspector of the salt censor. The salt money passed by each year is millions of dollars. How much can those salt merchants give in bribes. Only with the appointment of Mr. Lin In one year, he raised [-]% of the salt tax in the Lianghuai River. It can be seen that he is honest and honest, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and the world can learn from him. He is indeed the pillar of the imperial court. I think that Master Lin will never do such a thing of corruption and perversion of the law. I don’t know who is impeaching him, but he is so slanderous about Master Lin, he really wants to punish him.”

As soon as Zhan You finished speaking, another official with a round face and round eyes dressed in a third-grade uniform came out, but it was Ying Xian, the right servant of the household department, and said in a strange way, "Master Zhan's words are wrong. There is a way to know people and faces." I don't know, since this memorial is so convincing, it must be based on real evidence. Although the Holy Majesty is aware of the details, he can't guard against that sanctimonious hypocrite. In my opinion, this matter should be thoroughly investigated, so as to serve as a warning to others."

It's really strange to say these words in the court, Lin Ruhai just ignored it, and still looked indifferent, standing proudly in the hall.Only one old Hanlin couldn't get used to such words, and he was filled with righteous indignation, "Lord Zhan, be careful. Master Lin is a disciple of the Son of Heaven, and he was handpicked by the Supreme Emperor to find flowers in Jinke, and he was handpicked by today's Yanzheng. His talent and learning can be seen. What's more. The reputation of the Lin family in Gusu, from the first generation of An Lehou to the present, is not praised by everyone in any generation. Master Lin's family has a long history, how can you allow such slander."

Immediately, another official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. According to my humble opinion, it would be more fair to submit it to Lantai Temple for a thorough investigation."

Someone over there objected again, and the court was so noisy that it was so rare that it was even worse than the vegetable market.Jun Qi didn't say anything to stop them, just let them talk.After staying for a quarter of an hour, the underground voice gradually faded away, and everyone was waiting for the emperor's golden words, so those who hadn't had time to make a statement could take advantage of the situation to see the direction of the wind.However, Jun Qi refused to let them do so, and unobtrusively pushed this problem to Lin Ruhai, the person involved, "Lin Aiqing, you have heard all the ministers said so much. Tell me, what should we do about this matter?" .”

Lin Ruhai was not surprised by favor or humiliation, and bowed his hands frankly, "The emperor is wise and powerful, and he is arbitrary. This matter is entirely up to the emperor."

Jun Qi laughed, "What do you mean, you don't even need to defend yourself?"

I don't know if it was because of the stinky temper of the literati, Lin Ruhai replied straightforwardly, "As the saying goes, those who are clean are self-cleaning, so why bother to explain if I have never done anything wrong."

"Hahaha, what a clearer is self-clearing." Jun Qi laughed and handed another document to Dai Quan, "Zi said that a gentleman is magnanimous, and a villain is always close. I didn't understand his meaning in the past, but now I see it." Yes. Although I know that this matter is fabricated, I have to give an explanation to all the ministers. Dai Quan, read the things written on the paper one by one."

Dai Quan unfolded the documents, the thick stack was unknown how long, and a shrill voice sounded in the hall, "On a certain day in a certain year, a Yangzhou salt merchant, Zhao, gave a Jade Guanyin, 500 taels of silver, and 100 taels of gold. Two, return it as it is. On a certain day in a certain year and a certain month, a salt merchant named Sang wanted to give a gift, but refused to go out..."

The ministers were a little confused at first, but after listening to a few articles, they realized that this was probably the evidence that Lin Ruhai refused to accept bribes in office.As for where it came from, didn't you see that it was taken out by the emperor himself? You can't ask, and you dare not ask.It's just that now everyone has really seen how clean and honest this Lord Lin is, and he pushed out all the salt merchants who came to curry favor with him, and he didn't even accept a gift.Such an official can actually chew on the big bone of the Lianghuai Salt Administration, which shows that he is not an ordinary person.There are also those who originally admired Lin Ruhai as a person, but felt that his talent was high and clear, and he was definitely not like a national thief.In the future, it is a later story to praise Risheng.

After Dai Quan finished reading two or three pages with great difficulty, and there were dozens of lines, Jun Qi asked him to stop, "Master Feng, what do you think after hearing this?"

Mr. Feng is the new doctor of Lantai Temple, the one who impeached Lin Ruhai. Feng Lianduo is also a stubborn old man.Just because he dared to speak out, he was not afraid of life or death, so Jun Qi deliberately brought him up, not wanting to be used as a gun right away.

Then Feng Lianduo replied, "Report to the emperor, I have written it clearly in the memorial, and there are testimonies from the salt merchants, it is definitely not wrong. Even though I have worked with Master Lin for several years, I don't want to believe Master Lin." It’s such a person. It’s just that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. I didn’t expect Master Lin to go to the south of the Yangtze River and he was not immune to the vulgar. Alas!"

Jun Qi really couldn't do anything about this old man, he still couldn't see the situation clearly, and he blindly believed in the so-called evidence.Now I feel a little regretful, why bother to promote him, "Feng Aiqing is so categorical, based on these evidences? It's just that Lin Aiqing is the pillar of the country and holds a high position. I actually used these unknown origins, authenticity and falsehood to convict him. No? Since Feng Aiqing is so sure, can you tell me where this evidence came from, how to get this so-called black account, and even the signatures and pledges of bribing salt merchants."

"This..." Feng Lianduo turned around now, these things appeared in his study without anyone noticing.He was quite shocked after reading it, but the above records were detailed one by one, and even the time, the person who gave the bribe and what was given were clearly written, so he couldn't help but believe it.Furthermore, the land in the south of the Yangtze River has always been the root of corruption in the administration of officials. If it is said that Lin Ruhai really did not take anything in office, he would not believe it. "Back to the emperor, these evidences were given to me by a righteous man."

Jun Qi threw a stack of papers down the hall, and said angrily, "Scholar of righteousness? Hmph, it's just something of unknown origin, such a simple slander, false evidence, you can't even recognize it, how dare you How can you let a person like you who is old-fashioned and blind to discern loyalty and traitors be in charge of the important tasks of supervision and impeachment in Lantai Temple? I think you are old and have made great achievements. Go be your Shaoqing, the position of doctor of Lantai Temple will be shown to me by the officials. In the future, there will be such falsifications and slandering of officials appointed by the court, and I will definitely punish them severely. Ebb tide."

"Retreat—"

The shrill voice spun a few times in the hall, and gradually weakened outside, and could not be heard anymore.It's just that the people in the hall are quite aware of the emperor's last words, and they clearly mean something.He also sighed that Mr. Lin is really not simple, he was a young man in high school, and now he is an extremely human minister before he is over Pupu, which shows that he is the emperor's confidant and favorite general.

That Jia Zheng was only a member of the fifth rank, and even though he wanted to go to court, he could only stand outside the hall, kowtow to pay his respects, and could not meet the holy majesty and give advice.Even though Jia Amnesty was able to enter the hall, he was only standing on the corner, even though he knew what was going on ahead, he didn't quite understand it.The two brothers walked down the court and heard other adults talking, and only then did they know that it was their sister-in-law who was impeached, but the emperor rejected it in court.The two went back and told Jia Mu about the matter, and Jia Mu felt a little flustered in her heart.

"After all, it's my uncle's ability to win the emperor's favor. Back then, I was afraid that the Lin family would be in bad shape if they didn't inherit the title in this generation, but now they are even better than his father. It will be the boss's birthday in a few days, and our family is happy Happy, I will make a post for my uncle as soon as possible. Your sister went to the south for a year, and only came here once after she came back. I wanted to ask her to come a few more times, but I was afraid that her mother-in-law would get bored, so I borrowed this title to let us See you girls."

Jia Amnesty said yes, so he left.On the contrary, Jia Zheng flattered a few more words, which made Jia's mother laugh, and then came out.Mother Jia watched her youngest son go out, not knowing how many times she regretted what she did that day.Thinking of Zheng'er mentioning Zhu'er just now, if this title can be inherited by him, why would Zhu'er work so hard to study and study hard.Last year's imperial examination almost passed half-life, but the result was still lost.If it comes back three years later, I don't know what will happen.It's better to find some connections early and find an errand.Like Lian Er, it will save face after all.

Lin Ruhai didn't leave the palace after he came down to court, but was invited by Dai Quan to go to the imperial study.Today's incident came too suddenly, and he was not prepared at all. Even though he was upright, he was still a little worried about how it would end.Unexpectedly, Jun Qi not only read out the memorial of impeachment in court, but also refuted Mr. Feng and severely punished him.If it is true, it is inevitable that Jun Qi acted like this, which is obviously protecting him. If it is said that Mr. Feng's evidence is fake, what about the so-called evidence that Dai Quan read?He didn't know when Jun Qi had such a thing.But this is not surprising, he is the emperor after all, there are some things that should be known and should not be known, so as not to be deceived.

"My minister kowtows to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Suppressing all the clues in his heart, Lin Ruhai saluted the person behind the table.

Jun Qi didn't even raise his head, he just ordered, "Pingshen. Dai Quan, I have something important to discuss with Master Lin."

Dai Quan understood, and led a group of people out in a file.There were only two people left in the study, and the familiar scene made them both a little dazed.

Jun Qi still lowered his head, and seemed to be looking at the memorial in front of him very seriously, but the cinnabar pen in his hand was motionless.After a long time, he said in a low voice, "Can you blame me for what happened today?"

Lin Ruhai stood proudly, neither humble nor overbearing, "The emperor's words are serious, and I have to thank the emperor for his kindness, and help me out of the siege."

Jun Qi put down the cinnabar pen and looked up at him, "You are really angry." While speaking, he stood up and walked to Lin Ruhai, "I can't do anything about it. The old man is pressing every step of the way. If you ignore this matter, hurry up." They will definitely tell it to the court and make a big fuss; if it is left to them to investigate, maybe they can find out something. It's better than this, anyway, the old man will know that you are mine sooner or later, and I protect you so clearly You can also save that screwdriver from worrying about looking for trouble."

This last sentence, how could Lin Ruhai listen to it so awkwardly, how could he become his man?It's just that he was angry for another reason, "Forgive me for being presumptuous, does the emperor think that after this year, the Supreme Emperor will still think that the minister is a centrist?" Ever since Lin Ruhai decided to take up the post, he knew that one day the Supreme Emperor would notice him, and even wanted to To get rid of it and then quickly.Last year, the number of Salt Class silver newspapers increased by 300% compared to the year before, but this was just because Jun Qi was afraid that it would be too eye-catching and make him make a false report. In fact, it was about doubled.And the hidden [-] million taels of silver naturally went into Jun Qi's private treasury.In other words, the Supreme Emperor has lost so much money this year, how can he not be aware of it?Because of this, Lin Ruhai is bound to retire within a year, and he is too able to protect the whole family, otherwise it will undoubtedly be the fate of his previous life.

When Jun Qi heard it, it was true.No one is stupid, besides, the old man has been proficient in this way for most of his life, and he has already become a master.It's just that since Ruhai understands this truth, why is he angry?Jun Qi didn't bother to go around in circles with him, because he asked, "Then why are you angry, tell me anyway, how can I know if you are so hidden. If I accidentally put up with you in the future, it's not just to make you angry ."

Lin Ruhai squinted his eyes and asked, "I want to come to Master Feng's memorial, isn't it just published today?"

Jun Qi naturally replied, "That's right, the paperwork that was published yesterday. Is there a problem?"

Lin Ruhaidun was there, hesitated for a while before gritted his teeth and replied, "No. If the emperor has no other orders, I will leave here first."

Jun Qi hasn't figured it out yet, so why would he let him go.It's a pity that now, Lin Ruhai became more and more courageous, and walked out regardless of whether he allowed it or not.It's like a child can't be taught to ask after talking about this.I really don't know how such a person could be called a confidant in the past.

The author has something to say: Although the incompetent in the political struggle knows that this kind of treatment is probably inappropriate, it still allows Daddy Lin to take a clear stand and let everyone know that Mr. Lin is especially valued by the emperor. There is something I want His Majesty to do, but I don’t know why it changed later ╮(╯▽╰)╭In fact, our Emperor is the same as the character set on the copywriting, very evil, charming and domineering [Dig Fog]
