The Heavens: Falling Ink From Douluo

Chapter 569: Wang Ziteng, a feudal official

With the wind and water flowing smoothly, the boat is faster than the horse.

Against the wind and current, the horse is faster than the boat.

A carriage is suitable for more environments than a boat, but it has limited stamina. A boat can travel day and night, especially when driving on a canal, with the sail open. In just three days, the capital city was seen from a distance.

Lin Ruhai boarded the ship at noon and left in the afternoon.

Therefore, when Lin Ruhai and his party arrived at the pier outside Shenjing, before they knew it, it was already afternoon and the sky was getting dark.

In winter, it always gets dark earlier.

Especially January and February.

If it were earlier, at five o'clock, it would be dark.

Compared with the speed that later generations could reach by plane, which only took two hours to arrive, it was still far behind. However, in this era, among all the means of transportation in the Later Han Dynasty, it was already the fastest!
There are advantages to being fast.

There is a beauty in slowness.

Before getting off the ship, Lin Ruhai had told Lin Daiyu that Lin Daiyu would lead the old housekeeper and his entourage to settle in the Jia Mansion for the time being. After he had paid an audience with Emperor Chongping and had discussions with Emperor Chongping, he would go to the Jia Mansion to see the old lady. , that is, Jia Mu.

Putting public affairs first before private affairs is his way of being an official.

After meeting the old lady, he led Lin Daiyu and the old housekeeper back to his old house in the capital. This was also for the sake of stability, fearing that Lin Daiyu and the old housekeeper would not do things well.

Lin Daiyu did not have the idea of ​​"being underestimated".

After all, he is just a ten-year-old child.

With adults to rely on, I don't have to think about anything.

He nodded and agreed.

However, the plan did not change quickly - before Lin Ruhai went to see Emperor Chongping to report on his work, or even before he got off the boat, he just stood on the boat and saw Wang Ziteng and his entourage riding a tall horse from a distance, as well as Angel. , holding the imperial edict in hand, waiting on the dock!
The docks have been cleared.

The only outsiders in sight were sailors.

Among them, there are professional sailors responsible for parking the ship, as well as dock workers with absolutely clean identities and backgrounds. Even the bearers and sedan chairs are already in place.

It can be seen that Emperor Chongping was by no means a puppet emperor.

It is worth mentioning: the angels here are not the bird-men in Western mythology. They have no wings. They are the same as normal people, and even have some things less than normal people. They mean the messengers of the emperor, usually performing duties for eunuchs, which are commonly known as A "eunuch" eunuch.

There is another kind of angel, which is relatively rare.

He often leaves the palace with orders when important events occur.

Generally, they are ministers of military aircraft or even ministers of the Ministry of War.

Or when the emperor passed away, he would be a lonely and important minister who would take orders.

This kind of angel is not a eunuch.

They didn't have this responsibility originally.

They were just pulled up temporarily to add to the number.

As a minister, he can control the situation better than the eunuch who is responsible for delivering orders in the palace.

Lin Daiyu didn't know who Wang Ziteng was.

Lin Chaoci didn't know him either.

Huang Rong didn't recognize him either.

Lin Ruhai took this opportunity when everyone was on the deck to introduce Wang Ziteng to Lin Daiyu. Don't let Wang Ziteng come up and say hello to you when you get ashore. You don't even know who he is.

It's harmless, but it's still rude.

As he talked, he arrived at the shore.

Wang Ziteng is also a member of the four major families who stands on the side of Emperor Chongping. Although he and Lin Ruhai are in a competitive relationship, his climb to his current position has also consumed a lot of the Jia family's connections. These are the future political resources of Lin Ruhai, the Jia family's son-in-law. , but they are also comrades who share both prosperity and loss. The four major families are connected by the same spirit. Although Jia She and Xue's father were lost, they were still able to gather together a civil and military force, and there was no conflict in government affairs. Naturally, My heart is filled with joy.Seeing Lin Ruhai landing on the shore, he quickly went to greet her.

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai also hurriedly came over.

However, after three days on the boat, his steps were a bit frivolous after all, not as fast as the strides of Wang Ziteng. Wang Ziteng could only hold his arm firmly and shook it to express his excitement: "Brother Ruhai, We haven’t seen each other for so many years, and now we can see each other again… I’ve lost a lot of weight!”

This is not polite.

It’s impossible to say someone is skinny by using polite words.

Ruhai is actually Lin Ruhai’s character.

Lin Ruhai's real name is Lin Hai, and her courtesy name is Ruhai.

Moreover, the official position is higher than that of the prince in the early period. The salt patrol censor is a low-weight position that can only be held by close associates of previous emperors. In addition, Lin Ruhai originally had a position in the court called "Doctor of Lantai Temple" , later generations have different opinions on this, some say that he is a seventh-rank official, others say that he is a third-rank official or even a second-rank official. However, according to Lin Chaoci's inquiry with a brush, he found that the doctor of Lantai Temple was indeed a second-rank official, but he was just a junior second-rank official. .

Lin Ruhai's climb was too fast, and he had an answer.

At that time, Emperor Chongping had just taken office.

The impact of the former prince's rebellion has not yet been controlled, and the emperor has not yet died. A large number of the former prince's old team members have been implicated, and the court is full of old ministers from the emperor's reign. Emperor Chongping has no one to use, so he can only use Lin Ruhai and others. On top of all the old ministers who hid in the mansion.

The main idea is one thing - don't worry about whether you can withstand it or not, but do it for me first. Only if you do it first, can I have room to operate. Otherwise, if these old ministers of the Supreme Emperor below come to me, I can only do it. Stare!

That's what happened to Lin Ruhai.

Jumped from a seventh grade to a second grade.

It should be noted that in official circles, you can't make nonsense.

Call you "doctor" and you will definitely be a doctor!
No one wants to be held accountable by a real “doctor”!
If you want to flatter a superior officer, you can call the deputy commander the chief officer. For example, if you meet a deputy captain, you will call him "duwei". If you meet a second-rank general, you will call him "second rank". The word "general" is enough. You must not use the word "general" because of flattery. People who can't control their mouths will not survive in the court. Even the real hussar general will not be held accountable. There will also be many regular generals looking for trouble for you!

The "Doctor of Lantai Temple" is actually Dr. Lantai.

At that time, old ministers from the DPRK gathered together.

This was the derogatory name given to Lin Ruhai by the old officials.

It means: Even though you are a high-ranking official of the second rank, the power in your hands is not that great at all. We dare not go against Emperor Chongping. We can still do it by sarcastically ridiculing you, a loser.

Emperor Chongping also knew this.

Therefore, it was not until Wang Ziteng left the capital that Lin Ruhai was pulled out of the quagmire by Emperor Chongping. This was because Emperor Chongping already had some power at that time and could arrange for Wang Ziteng to patrol the nine sides. For Lin Ruhai, an old minister who could resist The pressured general also made a more important arrangement - patrolling the salt censor and destroying the emperor's money bag!
If successful, the overall situation will change!

When Emperor Chongping came to power, Lin Ruhai was able to secure the post of Lantai doctor without joining the cabinet. As a second-level minister in his 30s and less than 40 years old, and with the support of the current Holy Emperor, his power was comparable to that of the six ministers of the second-level official. , are not inferior to each other. After Prince Teng returned from patrolling the nine borders, he could not take up the position of Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp. It was not difficult to lead a battalion of soldiers and horses alone. The most important money bag of the Supreme Emperor was knocked out, and his military power was also destroyed. After sharing more than half of the profits, even the Beijing camp under him, which was the greatest threat to Emperor Chongping's son, did not completely obey his orders. For an emperor, how could this not be considered a comeback?

If you fail, you will be completely defeated!
A mess, an incomplete heirloom, an orphan of the former crown prince that no one knows exists, a secret armed force that cannot be identified but is suspected to be known only to the former crown prince and the emperor. For a current emperor, that is I don’t even dare to close my eyes when I sleep!
Power is like poison.

Once you enjoy it once, you won't want to give it up again.

Therefore, even if he is older, Prince Teng should call Lin Ruhai "brother Ruhai", let alone a son-in-law. Lin Ruhai is the son-in-law of Jia's family, and he is just the brother of Jia Zheng's wife.

Lin Ruhai didn't care much either.

He quickly helped Wang Ziteng up.

He signaled that there was an angel waiting nearby, reminiscing about old times, etc., and then he and Wang Ziteng bowed to the angel.

But he was quickly stopped by the angel.

One is scheduled to be the elder of the pavilion, and the other is nominated to be the governor of the Beijing camp.

The Holy One has told me that there is no need to be formal and you can enter the palace quickly.

How could he dare to kneel down and pay homage to someone from a small Huang family?
