[Red Mansion + Xiuxian] Perfect match

Chapter 16 The capital reaction

Gongyu Wang Qujing, who has read the secrets of all parties, is in a mood like waves, and his anger is out of control. The officialdom of the government is full of filth, and in the absence of supervision and power checks and balances, the greedy human nature is vicious Inflated, under the monopoly system of the salt industry, there appeared "wild fires that never burn out, and the spring breeze blows again" and even intensified corruption and corruption.This is something he knows very well, not only him, but even the current Holy One has a full account of it.

Now that Shengshang is old and unable to supervise, all he wants is to maintain the appearance of singing and dancing on the surface, thriving and blooming like brocades, listening to the ministers singing my emperor's sage, long live my emperor, long live, long live, really treat myself It is an emperor through the ages.

But now in the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention the buying and selling of officials, corruption and bribery, the mere murder of officials by the court is enough to make that ruthless thief ransack his home a hundred times.

The officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River is a pool of muddy water. If you go in, if you want to come out alive, unless you are also dyed in pitch black like them, the former Yangzhou Yunyan Yushi and the current Hangzhou Yunyan Yushi died in office. Even Lin Ruhai, the censor of salt transportation in Yangzhou today, has had his house banned. All six members of his family were sick and fell ill. It is his ability to survive until now.

Song Liangbin, Qujing's retainer and confidant, looked at Qujing's ambiguous eyes, analyzed the situation in his heart, and suggested one by one, "My lord, even if Lin Ruhai's secret book is sent to the Holy Master, it may not be strong enough. If you hit a snake with seven inches, if you solve it in such a painless way, you will scare the snake!"

At this moment, a smile suddenly appeared on Qu Jing's face, but even though he was smiling, his whole body exuded a cold and majestic aura, which made Song Liangbin, who originally believed that King Gongyu must have great abilities, spontaneously let out a smile. A kind of fear and awe, this feeling is clearer than meeting the current Holy Majesty.

Fortunately for Song Liangbin, this King Gongyu is not his enemy, but the master he has already taken refuge in. In the future, he will be crowned the Great Treasure, and with his assistance, he will surely create a prosperous foundation and live forever.

Seeing Qu Jing stomping back and forth in the study, he thought for a while, and then ordered Wan Liangbin, "Masters Liu and Zhang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Zhu Chaojian, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials. They planted an inconspicuous secret, and all of them jointly wrote a letter to impeach Zhen Yingjia..."

When Qu Jing said this, he suddenly reached out and knocked on the sandalwood table, and said in an unhurried tone, "Let's impeach him for covering the sky in the south of the Yangtze River, colluding with government and businessmen, engaging in private fraud, and embezzling the salt tax for nearly four years!"

Song Liangbin kept counting in his mind, the salt business is a heavy tax, and the salt tax for the past four years... is about 400 million taels of snowflake silver. The Holy Majesty basically did not respond to these papers, but now that Lin Ruhai's secret papers have just been delivered, everyone in the south of the Yangtze River is suspected of being murdered, and everyone knows that the tax and salt matter will be jointly signed by the ministers. If you want to protect the Zhen family, you can't keep it...

"It's just..." Song Liangbin's expression hesitated, "If we get people to sign a joint letter, wouldn't the hidden thread we planted be exposed? This is a great plan for the prince..."

"No!" Seeing Qu Jing, he gave up and said, "It is only natural that this matter should be impeached by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Besides, he will submit a few times a year. Father has long been used to it, but it's just repeating the same old tune. In addition to the wind direction of other departments, our Ministry of Rites is just following the crowd. Besides, I don't believe that if the third brother and the fifth brother can't do something, they can take advantage of the chaos to fish, right? Even if the second brother can't be brought down, It will also hurt the Zhen family's vitality!"

On the morning of the second day, Long Yan, the sage, was furious, pointing at a group of courtiers and lost his temper for a while, especially the second prince, Qu Jue, who was kneeling down. When the emperor saw him, he became angry for a while, because the first prince was deposed , Concubine Zhen Gui of the harem was crowned the Sixth Palace, so this Qu Jue became the emperor's most beloved son, and the degree of his favor can be seen just by his name with jade.

But the emperor just doted on him a little more at most, not to the extent that he planned to hand over the throne, and the most perfect son in his mind was still the first prince.

Qu Jue formed cliques in private, bribed ministers, all of which he saw in his eyes, as long as he did not go too far, as a father, he would just teach him some lessons, but let's see what he did now , relying on the Zhen family behind his back to cover the sky in the south of the Yangtze River, forcing court officials to death, poisoning the officials' children, trying to uproot his eyes in the south of the Yangtze River, but fortunately, Lin Hai was loyal to himself and gave him a secret book, so he didn't die. Bring disaster.

He knew the Zhen family owed the state treasury tax money in his heart, because when he was young, he traveled to the south of the Yangtze River and lived in the Zhen family many times.This pick-up is a big deal, whether it is the revision of the Royal Court, or the specifications of the pick-up, the money is all real money, so the Ministry of Households has written many times to impeach Zhen Yingjia's late father, he is just oppressive That's all, and then quietly sent a letter in private, urging the Zhen family to return the tax money. The world said that Concubine Zhen was causing trouble in the harem, but in fact she was carrying the scapegoat for him, so the emperor felt somewhat ashamed of Concubine Zhen and the second son. sorry.

Unexpectedly, their treasury tax has not yet been paid, but they have been greedy for the salt tax, which is a total of 400 million taels. If you want to say how much he loved his son before, he hates him now, no, it should be said His anger was tripled, and he simply trampled his sincerity to the ground. Even the father of ordinary people was extremely angry, not to mention that he was an emperor, and he was a self-proclaimed sage. the emperor.

In his anger, the emperor immediately dismissed all the errands of the respectful king. He closed the door at home and thought about his mistakes, and did not say when he could come out. , or with a sad face, only the fourth son Qu Jing, who he didn't pay much attention to, looked flat, neither sad nor happy, but looked at Qu Jue with a bit of concern and disappointment.

Speaking of which, this son has always been well-behaved and has never competed with any prince. Although he is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, he handles political affairs well, but he has no ambitions and does not compete with him. A father treats this kind of son Naturally, she is very reassuring, but relatively, she doesn't love her much, only sweets can be eaten for children who can cry, which Qu Jing must have never imagined.

But from the emperor's point of view, this matter can only be assured by leaving it to the fourth son. He has always loved his brothers, at least he doesn't have to worry about him stabbing his second brother behind his back.

Therefore, the emperor immediately issued an imperial decree, making Gongyu Wang Qujing the imperial envoy to go to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the embezzlement of tax money!

As soon as the imperial decree was issued, King Gongyu's faction laughed. The Holy Majesty sent the second prince to King Gongyu, and he was really doomed.

It's a pity that Qu Jue was still scratching his head and rejoicing, fortunately, he was handed over to the fourth brother, so don't worry too much now, seeing how much he respects his elder brother on weekdays, he probably wouldn't embarrass himself. Five, that would be troublesome!

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Not to mention how Lin Hai reacted to receiving the secret decree in Yangzhou, this day is still going on, especially when their family has a lot of troubles that have not been resolved.

Master Qingyang personally detoxified Lin Tai, so Lin Hai waited quietly outside with his three sons and daughters, Daiyu, Azhu and Bizhi, with a calm expression on his face. There is no need to worry.Although Master Qing Yang came and went without a trace, he would never lie about what he promised.

At this moment, I saw Jia Min's accompaniment, Fang Lin's family, Wu Wu hurried over, lifted the curtain, and couldn't even catch his breath, so he said anxiously, "My lord, it's not good, there's a letter from the Rongguo mansion in the capital city." !"

Daiyu asked, "But my maternal ancestral family keeps sending letters, why are you so panicked? Why don't sister-in-law Lin Quan take a cup of tea and catch her breath first!" Then she looked at her girl Xueyan, who quickly responded, He picked up the glazed teapot on the table and poured tea for the Lin family.

The whole family of Lin didn't drink tea either, so they said after a long time, "My lord, my wife was afraid that she might not be well, so she sent a letter to the Rongguo Mansion, hoping that the old lady of the Jia Mansion would take care of the three young masters and girls in the mansion. The Rongguo Mansion has sent a letter, and soon they will send someone to the Lin Mansion to pick up the young lady and the young master to the Rongguo Mansion, where the old lady will educate her."

The words of Lin's family changed the faces of Daiyu, Azhu and Bizhi who were present, and even Lin Hai was stunned!

But Jia Min had already discussed this matter with Lin Hai, and Lin Hai had already agreed to it. If Master Qing Yang was not around a few days ago, it would undoubtedly be the most appropriate way out for the Lin family.But now that his wife has not died, Jia Min in the mansion is just an illusion conjured up by Biyu, and no outsiders can be seen, but Jia Min's real body cannot be revived in Ah Zhu's orb, so what to do.

"More than that, the old lady also said something else!" The Lin family said again.

Lin Hai's face darkened, and he said, "Bring the letter!"

The whole family of Lin handed the letter to Lin Hai, and when Lin Hai finished reading it, his face turned dark.

"What's wrong with father, what did grandma say?" Seeing Lin Hai's ugly face, Bi Zhi hurriedly asked.

However, Lin Hai did not answer. This made him unable to speak to his children. The old lady of the Jia family said this beautifully, because Jia Min was worried that he might pass away and leave these three children to waste in the world. The two sisters and sons are left unattended in the back house. People in the world often say that the eldest daughter should not be married after the death of her mother, so they hope that the old lady will take care of them.

And the second middle school master of the Rongguo Mansion had a youngest son whose nickname was Baoyu, who was born extraordinary and was born with jade in his mouth. The old lady thought that Baoyu and this Daiyu must be a good match. This is the bright pearl born from holding the pearl. Of course, the old lady of Jia's mansion did not lose the bright pearl, she made other plans.
