The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 92
A few days after Sibei Le's wedding, Kangxi announced the appointment of Lin Ruhai as the governor and governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu in the early court.The mountains and roads in the Sichuan-Shanxi area are steep and the terrain is naturally not as good as the prosperous township ten miles south of the Yangtze River.However, the governor and governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu and Gansu is tantamount to combining the military, government and civil affairs of the three provinces of Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi.To put it bluntly, Lin Ruhai is equivalent to the emperor of this place, even if he wants to support himself, it is not impossible.As a result, Lin Ruhai leapt to become the most powerful among the nine feudal officials in the Qing Dynasty.The ministers of the DPRK and China are more sensitive and vaguely feel the subtle changes in the situation between the DPRK and China.When Lin Ruhai received the imperial decree, he just raised his eyebrows and thanked him readily.It's just that when the ministers retreated, it was another scene in the imperial study.Kangxi was so stared at by Lin Ruhai that he had to put down his pen and said helplessly: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Lin Ruhai raised the imperial decree in his hand, and said without changing his smile: "How dare I say anything? I just wait to be impeached after taking office, and maybe someday I will be separated." The governor of Sichuan, who was speaking, now He became the governor and governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu. Was he still under the influence of Kangxi?Kangxi was slightly annoyed, looked at him and said, "Don't blame me, I can't do anything about it. If you want to blame it, blame your son-in-law for being too smart." Lin Ruhai left him angrily, isn't my son-in-law your son?Kangxi said: "I originally wanted to promote the fourth son to be the county king, but unfortunately he refused. I can only seek compensation from you." Lin Ruhai was anxious, staring at Kangxi and said: "Do you have any humanity? He It's your son, you want him to die too slowly, don't you?" How suspicious is the crown prince, Kangxi himself doesn't know?There are also those princes and elder brothers below, the son of Empress Xiaoyi, the son of Jinjun Wang, and the son of Rongfei Huifei, Jinjun Wang are two completely different things.The good result is that the elder brother treats Yinzhen as a powerful supporter of the prince against him, and the bad result is that the prince and elder brother deal with him together.Kangxi said solemnly: "I am the emperor first. What's more, with you over there... others will probably have to think about what to do with him."

Lin Ruhai was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but he felt that marrying his daughter to the fourth elder brother was a decision that had something wrong with his brain.With such an inhuman father-in-law, can his daughter and son-in-law have an easy life?

"Don't you forget that Fan Fan also has a close relative. Are you sure I won't favor the fourth brother?" Lin Ruhai stared at him.

Kangxi nodded and said: "It is indeed possible. Are you going to help the fourth child bring down the prince?"

"I'm hungry again!" Lin Ruhai gave him a blank look.Kangxi sighed helplessly: "Ruhai, I also have difficulties... The crown prince has been relying on Suo'etu for support all these years, but you should know that I will not leave Suo'etu behind. So..." Lin Ruhai was not in a good mood He said: "You are not worried about delegating power to the prince, so you can only add chips to the fourth elder brother! One day, your sons will not recognize you, and then congratulations to the emperor. You are a real lonely family." Sometimes Lin Ruhai feels that Kangxi is a pitiful emperor. He has to guard against powerful officials, corrupt officials, and rebels all day long. Now he even has to guard against his own son.Kangxi smiled lightly and said: "Since I took this seat, I have been a lonely family. Ruhai, the fourth child is also my son, and I am not heartless enough to force my son to death." Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "You really didn't want to Forced him to death. You just forgot to leave him a way to survive. Have you ever thought that if one day, the crown prince suspects him, and the other brothers suspect him and hate him, will he still have a way to survive?" At that time, I'm afraid you don't want to The fight also had to be fought.Your majesty, you forced your sons like this, I hope you will not regret it in the future.Kangxi lowered his eyes and said lightly: "If the prince is smart, he should know that the fourth son is the arm I left him. Among these brothers... only the fourth son will really help him." From the name of the general, the prince is the son of the eldest son , Yinzhen is the second son.Except for the crown prince in the future, no matter who is in power, he will be afraid of Yinzhen.Therefore, Yinzhen had no choice but to help the prince.

Lin Ruhai said lightly: "I'm afraid the prince is not smart enough."

Kangxi closed his eyes heavily, and said in a low voice: "If the crown prince is not smart enough, do you think the fourth child can take care of himself?"

Lin Ruhai was dumbfounded, yes.If the prince really can't do it.Yinzhen is bound to be unable to get rid of the vortex of seizing the heir, and naturally the more chips he has, the better.

There was silence in the imperial study for a long time, and Lin Ruhai said lightly: "I know. I will keep the Northwest safe for ten years, and I will never provide any help to the fourth elder brother. But... if there is any accident one day, you must stay with the fourth elder brother Brother, there is a way out." Kangxi laughed and said, "It's not a loss for the fourth child to marry Yu girl, but you, the father-in-law, care more about me than I, the Ama." Lin Ruhai snorted coldly: "You yourself You don't feel sorry for your son, so why should I bother you. I only care about my daughter. And... What do you mean by sending three women to the house for Yu'er's wedding?" Kangxi stroked his short beard and smiled: "What? What do you mean by coming? It’s just to see what this girl will do. She is indeed much smarter than Guo Luoluo. As long as she and the fourth child don’t hurt the face of the royal family, and the fourth child has enough children, what will happen to the fourth family in the future? I won't take care of it anymore. Is this the head office?" Lin Ruhai was a little satisfied, and didn't say anything more.

What should be said has been said, and the study room fell silent again.It took a long time before I heard Kangxi say indifferently: "The Sichuan-Shanxi area is no better than the Jiangnan and the capital, take care of yourself." The trusted friend of his youth, who died and died, now is the only one left who has faced ups and downs together since he was a child. Lin Ruhai is gone.Lin Ruhai sighed softly, and said: "Your majesty, take care too. Prince..." Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. Lin Ruhai didn't want to say that the children of the royal family are not blessed.

After bidding farewell to Kangxi, Lin Ruhai was stopped when he left the Qianqing Gate, "Master Lin."

Lin Ruhai stopped and turned around, looked at the people who were following up from behind, and said calmly, "President Suo." Suo'etu is a University Fellow of the Palace of Preserving Harmony, a hereditary first-class prince.Lin Ruhai, the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, is from the first grade, and he still needs to ask for a lower quota.Suo'etu laughed and said, "Your Majesty Lin is so polite. I haven't congratulated you on your promotion." Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "It's all about the emperor's grace. The officials can only serve the emperor faithfully to repay the emperor's favor." .”
