The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

After the court was over, Lin Ruhai was stopped by Wang Ziteng within a few steps out of the Golden Luan Hall.

Lin Ruhai turned her head and saw Wang Ziteng approaching with strides, said with gritted teeth, "Master Lin, don't you think it's too aggressive?"

Lin Ruhai could probably guess that Wang Ziteng was talking about the reconciliation between Jia Wang's family and Jia Zheng, and with the repayment of the money, Wang Ziteng naturally hated him to the marrow.However, Lin Ruhai still maintained his usual elegant demeanor, and said calmly: "My lord, you are joking. Outside the Golden Luan Hall, how dare you force Lin to others? If your lord refuses to accept it, you can present it to the imperial court."

This, Wang Ziteng commented, Lin Ruhai is really good at choking people to death with a single sentence.Just like Wang Ziteng is good at overwhelming people with power.But now Wang Ziteng really feels that he is being constrained by Lin Ruhai everywhere.

In the past, Wang Ziteng served as the military envoy of the Beijing camp, and any prince who wanted to fight would give him a bit of noodles, and Wang Ziteng was like a fish in water.Since Zhen Yingjia fell, the second prince lost his competitiveness, the situation gradually became clear, and Wang Ziteng was not so popular anymore.

The so-called competition must first be a competition of strength; secondly, it also depends on the attitude of Emperor Taizong.If Taizong made it clear that he was leaning toward the East Palace, and the prince below had too close contacts with the Jingying Jiedu Envoy, it would be quite unclear.Now, the princes have begun to avoid suspicion with the military generals, at least on the surface.

The Wang family has a large property, and there are many ways to get money. Wang Ziteng is not afraid of the court's urging to pay back the money owed, but Jia Wang's reconciliation with Jia Zheng is a very bad signal for Wang Ziteng.This means that the Jia family has completely cut off from the Wang family, so no one will be responsible for what the Wang family has done.

In this life, because the crown prince is well-behaved, although Jia Amnesty has no ambitions, he has not yet reached the point of doing anything wrong.The Wang family offended the Lin family, and Wang Ziteng knew it well. In the past, it was nothing to let Lin Ruhai go overseas. Now that Lin Ruhai is the minister and has the East Palace as the backstage, if Lin Ruhai pursues Wang's past affairs and seeks revenge, he must be implicated.So Wang Ziteng had to give in to Lin Ruhai.

"Enemies should be settled rather than knotted. If my sister offends Master Lin in any way, why not let me be the host and make a reconciliation between my sister and Master Lin. If Master Lin has orders from now on, I will do my best." Wang Ziteng With a full face of sincerity.

Since it was outside the Golden Luan Hall, the conversation between the two naturally attracted attention.Of course, what the two of them are talking about is also a private matter, and they don't involve the court, and they are not afraid of being heard.But Lin Ruhai understood Wang Ziteng's implication.

A Shangshu of the Lin family, a family of wives in the Eastern Palace, where can the Jingying Jiedushi be used?Lin's family can't use it, but Donggong can.Wang Ziteng, this is a matter of using the capital's envoys to surrender to the East Palace in exchange for covering up the Wang family, sincerity is not insufficient.

But the Lin family is a gentry, and the gentry has the pride and strength of a gentry, even if they are related by marriage to the Eastern Palace, they are not a vassal of the Eastern Palace.The Lin family, don't have to compromise and use the Lin family's grievances in exchange for Wang Ziteng's allegiance.As a courtier, Wang Ziteng's allegiance to the court is enough.

Just because the Lin family is Lin Qing's natal family, there is no need to make any sacrifices for the East Palace, and there is no need to bully others because Lin Qing is the crown princess.Going straight on the road and doing everything in a reasonable manner is the best support for Lin Qing.Crooked ways, as long as you go through it once, it is both a stain and a handle. It is nothing when it is good, and it will become a weakness to be attacked when it is down.

Lin Ruhai said indifferently: "Master Wang is just joking, the Lin family survives only because of the advancement of their clansmen, and they dare not work for you, sir."

Wang Ziteng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Lin Ruhai to refuse so cleanly.Lin Ruhai could understand the implication of what he said, and so could the others.Although Lin Ruhai could pretend to be confused, she refused righteously.But in this case, once it is passed into the prince's ears by someone with a heart, he can also make some provocations.Why did Lin Ruhai refuse his surrender without discussing it with Donggong?Killing the opportunity of the Eastern Palace to expand its sphere of influence, will the prince still trust Lin Ruhai so much in the future?

The corners of Wang Ziteng's mouth rose slightly, and he asked in a very confident tone, "Master Lin, are you sure?"

Lin Ruhai also said in a very confident tone: "My lord Wang is an envoy of the Beijing camp, only the emperor can send him, and my lord Wang can only be sent by the emperor."

If it wasn't outside the Golden Luan Hall, Wang Ziteng really wanted to hit someone.Originally, he was trying to see if he could reconcile, and if he couldn't, he would provoke the relationship between Donggong and Lin Ruhai. No matter how he looked at the scene, he was not at a disadvantage. With a few words, he asked Lin Ruhai to provoke the emperor's opinion of him.

You bastard scholar!Will play tricks!

Prince Teng suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "Master Lin, is there really no room for negotiation?"

Lin Ruhai persuaded Wang Ziteng with a sincere face: "Although Lord Wang and the Wang brothers and sisters are deeply in love, but after all, it is the Wang family who break the law and discipline. In fact, Lord Wang does not need to go through this muddy water."

If it wasn't outside the Golden Luan Hall, Wang Ziteng would have punched Lin Ruhai when he saw the earnestness on Lin Ruhai's face.Am I doing it for Wang's incompetent?I'm worried about myself!

Wang Ziteng was choked by Lin Ruhai, and was about to continue persuading him, when Jia Jing came over and said, "Brother Ruhai is here, I said, you want to play a urging to pay back the money owed, so why don't you let me know , caught me off guard."

Lin Ruhai responded with a smile: "I just took office, and there are so many things in the household department. I have been tossing about old accounts for a long time and haven't cleared them up. How can I care about this. You clearly know that this is Yushitai and Hanlin. How can you blame me for this matter promoted by the court?"

The two talked and walked away together, who would care about Wang Ziteng standing by the side.

Wang Ziteng looked at the backs of the two, clenched his fists with hatred, and the veins popped up on his fists.play!You two carry on!Jia Jing, as the head of the Jia family, removed the Wang family from the family tree this time, and contributed a lot of advice and advice. All of this happened just after Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing.Wang Ziteng even felt that changing the account and repaying the money were all poisonous schemes set up by Lin Ruhai and Jia Jing.

First remove the Wang family, pick out the Jia family, and then attack with a series of combined punches, Wang Ziteng felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.But who cares about him?Wang Ziteng has always believed in cutting weeds and roots, but he used to behead others without leaving any room. Now, he may be the one who was beheaded.

The established plan is progressing smoothly, and Lin Ruhai is in a good mood today.Daiyu glanced at her father's expression when she was in a daze, and she felt relieved.Repaying the owed money will not only get rid of the Wang family in one fell swoop, but also allow father to make a great contribution, gain a firm foothold in the household department, have a foundation, and then eliminate those unstable factors in the same way.

After dinner, Lin Ruhai called Daiyu to the study.After the father and daughter returned to their seats, Lin Ruhai told Daiyu roughly what had happened in the court hall.Since he decided to respect Daiyu's wisdom, he will not hide anything from Daiyu.What's more, it was Daiyu who proposed this series of plans to change accounts and urge bank transfers.

"Prince Teng has taken the bait." Lin Ruhai said six words to Daiyu.

Daiyu thought for a while, and said, "Then, who has the chance to take the position of Jingying Jiedushi?" Getting rid of a Prince Teng is not the point, the point is that the power vacuum left after Prince Teng's arrest cannot fall into the hands of the Ninth Prince inside.

Lin Ruhai tapped the desk with his slender fingers: "Jingdu Envoy is also an extremely important position in the army, and there must be many people staring at him. Let's see how the sage uses people. This matter can only be done according to the destiny."

Daiyu glanced back at the direction of the window, and said lightly: "As long as His Highness the Crown Prince is able to stay calm and not intervene in this matter, there is more than [-]% certainty. If the situation is good, it is [-]%. down to [-]%."

With years of intuition as an official, Lin Ruhai also knew that it was not appropriate for the East Palace to intervene in this matter, but Lin Ruhai was not so confident that Daiyu was as sure as she was quantified.Naturally, Lin Ruhai would not know that Daiyu's way of thinking was developed in the army of later generations. When the army of later generations does analysis, it will quantify all parameters. There are no such advanced supercomputing simulations, but Daiyu is more used to this kind of data analyzed.

"Why is Yu'er so sure?" Lin Ruhai asked.

Daiyu still looked confident, and said in a very calm tone: "The so-called predicting things like a god is just spending more time thinking about people's hearts. The sage's current age, physical condition, and after the Iron Net Mountain Rebellion made up his mind. The rectification of the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River all shows one thing: the sage is a suspicious person.

It turned out that my father promoted the bookkeeping reform and called for the payment of the accumulated debts, which were all good things that benefited the country and the people.But the father's identity is the wife and brother of His Royal Highness the Prince.Although the father is full of publicity, this series of measures that benefit the country and the people will inevitably lead to the fall of the prince, and the vacancy of the Beijing Camp Jiedu Envoy.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seeks this position, the sage will feel that his father's previous actions for the country and the people are because Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong, which is not beautiful.If the prince remained calm and remained unmoved, the sage would never doubt his father's deeds to benefit the country.

With such an important position, whoever has a conspiracy will be suspected by the saint.If all of them stand still, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince, and it is logical to transfer the power to the crown prince.Furthermore, changing the account books and clearing the accumulated debts was originally the crown prince's line of work who made the most contributions, even if they were rewarded for meritorious service, this position was also in the bag.

This is something that belongs to His Royal Highness, why bother to fight? "

This is something that belongs to His Royal Highness, why bother to fight?Deafening.Lin Ruhai felt that if this woman was a man, she would be an official from the Kedi, she must be an extremely human minister, and she would be a minister in the cabinet.It's a pity that this dynasty was not the time of Zetian Empress, and women could not be officials. With such extraordinary skills, they could only be trapped in the inner house.

"As the saying goes, the bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused. Although we all have good reasons to persuade His Highness the Crown Prince not to participate in this matter, there are still many officials in the East Palace besides us. Seeing such a vacancy as the Jingying Jiedushi, the officials in the East Palace must Those who are interested, if they persuade the prince, then the matter will be difficult." Lin Ruhai confessed her worries.

Daiyu pondered for a while, and said: "East Palace officials, those who have a long-term vision, or those who are limited in sight, depend on how His Royal Highness employs people. The so-called Mingjun employs people with a unique vision." The remaining half of Daiyu's sentence Yu didn't say anything.Since ancient times, who didn't the faint king start from the distant virtuous minister and the villain?If the prince can't even judge whether the advice is good or bad, he is really unbearable to be the crown prince.

As a king, you must take charge of the rise and fall of the world.

Lin Ruhai didn't say anything more.If the crown prince decided to believe those short-sighted remarks, he would be powerless to stop him.However, before the vacancy of the Jingying Jiedu envoy is vacant, what should be fought for is still to be fought for, so Lin Ruhai said: "There are still a few days before the fifteenth, you and your mother will go to the palace and persuade your aunt. Your aunt's words , His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can listen."

Daiyu nodded yes.

The so-called strategizing, the most important thing is foresight and accuracy.At least judging from the current development of the situation, Daiyu's accuracy is extremely high.As for the forward-looking, we still need to wait for the development of things for further verification.

Invariably, the Lin family's father and daughter planned until the prince's sacking, and the officials of the East Palace line were awarded the positions of the Jingying Jiedushi, and the real development progress of the matter reached the step of clearing the accumulated debts.And this step is quite difficult.

After talking about the post of Jiedu envoy of the Beijing camp, Daiyu said again: "Father, why don't you write a few letters and go south."

Lin Ruhai knew that her daughter would not say this without a reason, so she asked, "What's the matter?"

Daiyu said: "Seeing that Wang Ziteng is about to fall, once the Wang family falls, there will be many business opportunities for the foreign ship cargo trade along the coasts of Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang. Merchants are looking for profit, and many people must want to intervene in these Business. But since ancient times, collusion between government and businessmen has been common, if someone is eyeing these businesses, do you need to go around and clear them up?"

Lin Ruhai frowned and said, "Yu'er means to tell the clan to make arrangements in advance and grab some sea trade business?" To be honest, Lin Ruhai doesn't agree with this.It is true that the sea trade business is indeed extremely profitable, but it is also extremely dangerous.Moreover, the Jiangnan officialdom had just been cleaned up, and the emperor was also taboo against collusion between officials and businessmen. He cleaned up the Jiangnan officialdom, and then set up a maritime trade business after defeating Wang Ziteng.

Not to mention that many businessmen do crazy things for profit, and they are far away in the capital. If they get involved in the maritime trade business, they will be unable to restrain their businessmen after all.Taking a hundred steps back, even if the merchants in his hands are restrained, good and bad among the merchants are uneven, and it is inevitable that they will be used and framed.

Daiyu raised her eyebrows slightly, but shook her head and said, "Of course not."

As soon as Lin Ruhai saw her daughter's expression like this, she knew that she must have a good idea, and said: "What did Yu'er think of again, I would like to hear more about it."

I just heard Daiyu say: "Father might as well write a letter to Uncle Feng, telling him to restrain the children of the clan and not get involved in maritime trade. In addition, ask Liu Langzhong to write a divorce letter to Mr. Liu Zheng, so as not to get involved in this matter. There are many people staring at the huge profits of the trading business. However, storms and waves at sea and pirates are all risks. The food of Haimao is to eat with their lives. Therefore, there are many desperadoes in the sea trade business , not easily contaminated."

The so-called walking one step and watching three steps, Lin Ruhai naturally thought of this section, and said with a smile: "I also have this intention as a father." After a short pause, Lin Ruhai continued: "But I think Yu'er still has something to say."

Daiyu shifted her eyes to the direction of Guangdong Sea. Although it was getting late at the moment, and even the yard outside the window could not be seen clearly, Daiyu seemed to see thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in her eyes: "Once Wang Ziteng is arrested, father can go to the court." Memorial, please ask the imperial court to take over the maritime trade business."

Lin Ruhai was startled when he heard this, and then he understood. Daiyu's idea made people overwhelmed: Maritime trade business is of course very profitable, but it will also attract pirates to harass the people, internal and external collusion and other hidden dangers. .For this reason, the previous dynasty specially introduced a sea ban policy.

The reason why the royal family of this dynasty was able to monopolize the maritime trade business in several provinces was because the royal family was born as a military attache and had children who were officials along the coast.Haimao made a lot of money, but actually used the military force of the imperial court to frighten the pirates.

"How did Yu'er come up with such a wonderful method?" Lin Ruhai said in surprise.

Daiyu's tone was still very calm, as if she was talking to Lin Ruhai: "I just thought that the salt and iron business was originally a monopoly of the imperial court. If so, the sea trade business can also be brought under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. It's just that there is an extra sea patrol in the Ministry of Households. Yamen. If the sea trade business is to be safe, it is necessary for the imperial court to train sailors. In this case, the imperial court should take charge of the sea trade business. In this way, at least the merchants will collude with sea bandits and rob their peers. Things that consume national power will happen less."

In fact, what did Daiyu think of?After traveling through later generations, Daiyu still couldn't let go of the book, making up the history after Yuan Dynasty.In the real world of the later generations, there was a history of blood and tears that the entire nation was overwhelmed with. In detail, it had a lot to do with the stagnant development of the Tian|Dynasty navy after the sea ban.

Even though there was a divergence between this dynasty and the official history after the Yuan Dynasty, the mountains and rivers of the Chinese land under her feet were the same as the real world, and Daiyu's love for this hot land was the same as when she was in the army.Daiyu's proposal is to imitate the Ministry of Commerce of later generations and let the imperial court take over the maritime trade.The Chinese people are industrious and brave, and they are famous for all kinds of products they make. The profits of sea trade are far more than the current silk, tea, and porcelain, and there is still a lot of room for development.

As long as the imperial court agrees that the Ministry of Households will take over the sea trade business, in order to keep the unquantifiable profits, the imperial court will also train sailors and pay attention to coastal defense.Daiyu doesn't know if this can save China from the catastrophe that lasted for more than a hundred years, but if you work hard, at least you have a chance, right?

Daiyu knows that she is living in a book now, but the Li people in the book also live in the land of China, and the people in the book are also multiplying, even the history before the Yuan Dynasty is the same.Daiyu hoped that the industrious and brave people in this beautiful and rich land would experience less suffering.
