Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

"Master Lin, everything has been packed!"

In Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, Yu Enguo pushed away the study room of the government office. Recently, Lin Ruhai stayed in Jiangnan to deal with the closing of the White Lotus Sect and the Zhen family, and has been temporarily staying in the office of the prefect of Suzhou.

Today, all the remaining matters have been dealt with. Yu Anguo has been very diligent in the past few days. After all, something like this happened in the south of the Yangtze River. He also knows that this time he is to blame. As for how the court will deal with him, it depends on the situation. How did Lin Ruhai break up with the court?

"By the way, Master Lin, a big event happened at the court. I wonder if you have heard about it?"

Yu Anguo came to the house, found a place to sit down, and spoke.

Lin Ruhai gathered all the materials on the desk, and asked Yu Enguo: "Prefect Yu, I don't know which one you are talking about?? Lin has indeed heard a lot about the things in the capital!"

Yu Enguo glanced at the room subconsciously, and then said: "It's about the Turpan feudal lord. I heard that those people who were visited by the Turpan vassal king in Beijing were killed, and it was less than thirty miles outside the capital. It's really shocking." ah!!"

"Thirty miles away from the capital, if you get closer, you will be at the foot of the emperor! I don't know that the thief dared to be so arrogant. After hearing this, the lower official's heart is still thumping!!"

Lin Ruhai kept moving his hands, obviously he had heard about this matter long ago.

"Prefect Yu, what do you have to worry about about this matter? Even if something really happened, it is the Shaanxi Datong side that is worried. After all, it is closer to Turpan. , can't make any waves!"

When Lin Ruhai said this, the depths of his eyes couldn't stop flickering. This time, Lin Ruhai didn't tell the truth.

He also sped up his progress because he suddenly heard this information. At this time, the court was facing an unusual situation.

The vassal king had an audience and was shot and killed outside the capital. This time, the court's yellow mud fell into the crotch, and it was either shit or shit.

And the person who did it has not been found out yet. It has been two or three days since that incident, which is not a good sign.

Once the nearby small countries heard about this incident, the possibility of surrendering without a fight would disappear immediately. If they were instigated by someone with a heart, they would probably attack in groups.

As for the current situation of the Dakang court, it was discussed publicly in the court several years ago.

In the 15th year of Mingkang, the annual balance was only 5 taels of silver. For a huge imperial court, such a surplus can almost be said to have nothing left.

If there is another drought or disaster in the beginning of spring, I am afraid it will become unmanageable, let alone a war.

The huge fronts in the northern and southern borders have already made the Dakang court unable to support it.

Fortunately, Jia Gong ended the war in northern Xinjiang in just three years, otherwise the consequences would continue to expand, and even within a few years, the overall military equipment of the imperial court would not be able to keep up, and if there was another war, the only outcome would be surrender .

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but feel chills in his heart. If that time really came, I'm afraid Dakang's demise would not be far away!
"By the way, will your lord take the dirty money obtained from the extermination of the White Lotus Sect and the Zhen family this time?"

Then Yu Anguo seemed to have thought of something again, and asked again.

This time the bandits in the south of the Yangtze River have gained a lot, with a huge amount of 450 million taels of silver.

Lin Ruhai glanced at Yu Enguo, and said in a rather strange tone: "Prefect Yu wants to keep some for himself?"

When Yu Anguo heard this, he quickly waved his hands. This kind of thing is a hot potato, unless Lin Ruhai wanted it himself, and finally gave them some to seal the mouth, otherwise it would definitely be a dead word for him to stretch out his hand.

"Master Lin was joking, how could a lower official do such a thing!!"

Lin Ruhai sighed softly, "It's best, this batch of money has already been secretly submitted to the imperial court by Mrs. Lin, but if there is a penny missing, I am afraid that the higher-ups will pursue it. The Jiangnan matter can now have such a result. Let the magistrate have some fun!"

"If the champion Hou Shenbing hadn't descended from the sky and cut the mess with a sharp knife, if those firearms were blown up in the downtown area of ​​Suzhou, I would lose my post and be dismissed, and the magistrate Yu would have all his family copied and killed!!"

Seeing what Lin Ruhai said, Yu Enguo quickly stood up, saying that he had absolutely no wrong thoughts, expressed his gratitude to the champion Hou Jiayu, and said a series of good things before he stopped in resentment.

Lin Ruhai knew the purpose of the other party's visit, so he added another sentence at the end.

"Don't worry, Prefect Yu. I already have a draft for this trip to the south of the Yangtze River. When the emperor asks, I will help Prefect Yu with a few good words. It's all right for you and me to support each other during this time." It's a good time!"

Yu Enguo was immediately elated when he heard the words, Lin Ruhai's words made him happier than the other party rewarding him with 2 taels of silver.

"Lord Lin, thank you so much for this matter!! For the kindness of your lord, the next official should be grateful, and I will repay you with a grass knot!!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Enguo bowed in front of him and went straight to the end.

Seeing the other party like this, Lin Ruhai nodded.

"That's all, Lin is just telling the truth!"

Under the premise of not violating the truth of the incident, Lin Ruhai will not care about such a trivial matter. After all, the other party has only served as the magistrate for one year, and he will stay in Suzhou for several years to come!

Not to mention his own clansmen, and even the old house in the family needs this person to take care of him, and he is also willing to sell him a favor.

Speaking of it, this is some of the ways of being an official in the officialdom, but some of the details are not easy to grasp.

If you pass it, you may become a corrupt official. If you have nothing, you may not be able to get along. Everyone knows this truth when the water is clear and there are no fish.

"But there is one more thing, I need to trouble Zhifu Yu to take care of it!"

Then Lin Ruhai mentioned another thing.

Yu Anguo accepted Lin Ruhai's favor, so he naturally responded to Lin Ruhai's requests.

"Even if Mr. Lin says yes, the officials will definitely do it! Do it!!"

Lin Ruhai sighed, "It's my father-in-law's family in the capital, a brother of Rongguo Duke's mansion, named Jia Lian, who was ordered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come to the south of the Yangtze River to make purchases. I originally planned to go back with him. But the time he needs to purchase is endless, and such a big event happened in Beijing, I can't delay it, I can only go one step ahead!"

Hearing this, Yu Enguo was taken aback, "But the Champion, the Lord's family??"

Lin Ruhai shook his head, "No, Champion Hou is the descendant of Duke Ning, and Jia Lian is the elder brother of Duke Rong's mansion, but he can't write two characters of Jia in one stroke, and if we talk about the next generation, we are still a family!"

Hearing that the other party was somewhat involved with Jia Gong, Yu Enguo immediately patted his chest, promising to take good care of this young master Jia Lian who came from Rong Guogong's mansion.

After receiving Yu Anguo's assurance, Lin Ruhai put this matter aside for the time being, but there must be a cause and an effect. Originally, Jia Lian was a prodigal son who couldn't control his lower body. At that time, there was another disturbance. This matter is an afterthought, so I won't show it for the time being.

Capital, Daming Palace.

In the imperial study room, almost all the empresses came over.

There was also a group of imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital outside, Dai Quan and Xu Yuantu were also present, but Xu Yuantu was hiding in the dark, secretly protecting Emperor Mingkang's safety.

The fainting incident of Emperor Mingkang made the entire Daming Palace jumpy, and even Emperor Taikang sent Xia Cheng to ask what was going on.

He went back after hearing Wang Linfu say that he fainted from a rush of rage and would be fine after resting for a while.

"Dai Quan, what's going on? Why did the emperor faint??"

Fan Zhixuan's face was cold, so many things happened during this period, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and it was only after Jia Gong returned to Beijing a few days ago that he warmed up her body that she barely recovered.

Unexpectedly, such a thing happened again today.

In the side hall, besides Fan Zhixuan, there were Concubine Shu, Concubine Yi and other empresses here. Dai Quan still didn't feel anything when he saw them on weekdays, but today, with all these people sitting here, the pressure on him was not great. Small.

However, he couldn't say the reason why Emperor Mingkang fainted. The matter involved several princes, and if he said it, it would be a matter of piercing the heavens.

At this moment, a eunuch's duck-like shout came from outside the room.

"Empress, first prince, second prince, third prince, and fourth prince please see me!!"

When Dai Quan heard this, he lowered his head calmly.

These people came very quickly.

He guessed that these princes must have already guessed something!

After all, this time, Xu Yuantu and the others investigated the matter and did not cover it up.

"What are they doing here??"

Fan Zhixuan frowned, her tone was quite impatient.

Although she has no princes, she knows that these princes are dishonest in private, especially the second son Chu Gan, who is very close to the four princes and eight princes. something about.

"Sister, Ye'er and the others also care about the emperor! After all, the emperor is their father, how can a son not care about his father!"

It was the mother and concubine of the third prince Chu Ye who was speaking, and when she heard that her child was also coming, she naturally wanted to say a few words for him.

"Tell them, the emperor should wake up in a while, let them go to the East side hall and wait, it's fine to leave the imperial doctor here, it's inconvenient if there are too many people!"

Fan Zhixuan thought about it, but she didn't let them in. Now, before Emperor Mingkang woke up, she had to try to protect his safety. There shouldn't be too many people here.

If something happens all of a sudden, it's not good to have too many people. In the past years in the palace, she has seen many such things like fishing in troubled waters, and even heard that those women who are pregnant with dragon heirs often will suffer under such circumstances.

"Sister~ this is not good~~"
