Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "Zi Yang's words are justified. Over the years, the ostentation of the Qufu Holy Mansion has become bigger and bigger every year, and the consumption of chewing is astonishing. The fierce land annexation and the wide range of servants and maids are eye-catching. Ruo Kong Zhao It is really rare to have such a heart! The emperor in the palace knows, and he will definitely give an imperial order."

Cao Rui hurriedly said seriously: "It should be so! His son is Yan Shenggong, and the Kong Zhao family is naturally Yan Shenggong's wife."

The status of Mrs. Yan Shenggong is not even below that of the princesses!

Think about Zhao's identity again...

This is really good luck!

Lin Ruhai smiled faintly and asked, "Then...can I hand over the affairs of Shandong now? After all, time waits for no one, and Ziyang has a very heavy burden on you."

Cao Rui said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lin, I have recorded all the files overnight last night, and sent them back to the capital early this morning. I have finished working in the Ministry of Rites."

Lin Ruhai smiled when he heard the words, and waved his hands, and the old servant of the Lin family brought over a tray with a large seal, a blue flag, and a token on the tray.

Lin Ruhai said: "This is the Shandong governor's seal and Wang Ming's flag. Ziyang, the land of Shandong, has more than 600 million people. There are as many as 300 million people who need relief due to the severe disaster. [-] million is not enough for the relief. From now on, the people of Shandong will all be up to you! The grain and rice seized by the old man from Shanting and the eight counties may not be enough. The gold and silver seized in the past few days are almost counted, you Immediately send people along the canal to the south of the Yangtze River to buy. In addition, not only do disaster relief, but also eliminate bandits! There are many bandits in the disaster year, although it is understandable, but those who rob houses and harm the people must do their best to get rid of the evil and leave no one behind! If the bandits are not eradicated, the common people will never have peace!"

Cao Rui's expression changed when he heard the words, and he said hesitantly: "Mr. Lin, the suppression of bandits is the military affairs of the prefectures and counties, and the military affairs of Shandong Daying..."

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said: "Although Shandong belongs to Beizhili, the governor of Zhili has no control over Shandong. All the governors of the world follow the second rank, and only the governor of Shandong is the second rank, which is on par with the nine governors. Besides, you are a seal of borders, and you have no control over Shandong. With the flag of the king's order, when it is time to use thunderbolt means, you must not shirk responsibility. After the old man returns to Beijing, he will tell the emperor that even if he does not upgrade Shandong governor to the governor's position, he should also give military and political power. Let go of everything in Shandong Do it, the old man shares the responsibility with you."

As soon as this remark came out, Cao Rui's face changed slightly again.

He was originally the left servant of the Ministry of Rites. To be able to achieve this position, it is impossible for him to be branded, and there will be no backstage behind him.

He is the disciple of Jing Chaoyun, the chief military minister of the current dynasty, but because he was born in a wealthy family of officials and officials for generations, he has not been as greedy as other Jingchu former officials over the years.

What's more, the Ministry of Rites was originally a noble place, so it wouldn't be easy to eat and get cards everywhere.

This is also the reason why Cao Rui was appreciated by Emperor Long'an, who bestowed the flag of Wang Ming and entrusted him to seal the border.

But at this position, there must be a backstage who can lead the way at the top.

This is not just a backing, but also a must-choice to show his political line and where the wind blows.

Everyone knows that it is best, most comfortable, and least dangerous to be detached from disputes.

But in fact, those who had such thoughts in the officialdom were all killed in the first wave!

Originally, Cao Rui waited for Han Bin, Li Han and others to return to Beijing before seriously choosing which one to vote for.

Although these people are all giants of the new party who are trusted by the emperor, there is still a world of difference in who they vote for.

But he didn't want to, without giving him many opportunities to choose, Lin Ruhai threw an olive branch.

Especially at this juncture, is there any room for him to refuse?

When Han Bin did not return, Jingchu's old ministers were doomed to collapse, and now the whole court is alone with banners waving like a sea!

Although Dou Xian fired all his firepower after returning to Beijing and knocked down many high-ranking officials, but he only killed ministers once, and it was difficult to set up a big banner.

Because since ancient times, it is difficult to end well when killing ministers...

Therefore, Lin Ruhai is almost the only choice right now.

There is also a place in Shandong. If you refuse now, you will offend people to death!

Didn't anyone say that after returning to Beijing, he will play the Son of Heaven and be promoted to Governor of Shandong Province?

In this kind of big event, it is actually much easier to lose someone than to win.

Isn't that the case with General Liu sent by Zhao Guogong?

He was still a hero of Yuanping, and he had military exploits, but Lin Ruhai didn't let him move rashly, and he didn't dare to take an extra step.

Even if the great officials in the frontier have the flag of the king's order, they can kill the courtiers, not to mention the emperor's sword in the hands of the military minister?

If Lin Ruhai really killed him, even Zhao Guogong Jiang Duo would not ask any more questions after returning to Beijing.

This is called the country of prime ministers!

If Cao Rui refuses, of course Lin Ruhai will not kill him, but as long as he returns to Beijing and says that Cao Rui is not suitable to be the governor of Shandong on behalf of the sky, then he will not only lose his official position, but also lose his future for the rest of his life.

Although Cao Rui wasn't sure if Lin Ruhai would do this, he knew that Lin Ruhai's ability to do so was enough...

Therefore, there is no other choice: "The next official sees Enxiang!"

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai laughed, nodded slightly in satisfaction, and exclaimed, "Zi Yang doesn't have to be like this. This old man doesn't have the rules as Jing Chaoyun, nor the temper as He Zhen and Luo Rong. Just do the emperor's errands well. There is an old man in Beijing."

Although he has been an official for decades, he spent most of his time in Yangzhou Salt Courtyard.

Although that place is the world's most rich and rich place, it is far away from the center after all, so it is difficult to cultivate the power of subordinates.

For so many years, there is only one Chen Rong who can be of great use.

If not, why did he use Jia Yucun?

Nowadays, many of the old ministers in Jingchu have been picked out, which are still clean and usable, and most of them are filled in the household department. Slowly recuperate, and now Cao Rui is selected, which can be regarded as a prototype of the foundation.

Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Cao Rui completely let go of the burden in his heart, and stopped thinking about other things.

After thanking him again and again, he said: "Master En, the next official to inspect Shandong, relieve the victims, restore order in the officialdom, and I am confident that it can be done. Although it is as difficult as Prime Minister En to pacify Shandong, it can also be moderate. But the matter of soldiers and horses , although the lower officials are determined, they are powerless. I also ask Enxiang to give me some advice!"

Lin Ruhai thought for a while, and said: "Well, you should stabilize the Eagle Strike Sima in the Shandong camp. After the old man returns to Beijing, he will immediately ask the emperor to send a member of staff to the Shandong camp to wipe out many bandits. .Zi Yang, as long as you hold the money and food in your hand, it will be enough."

When Cao Rui heard the words, he suddenly realized, and he admired Lin Ruhai more and more in his heart, and finally asked: "But I don't know the kindness, when will I return to Beijing?"

Lin Ruhai smiled, and said: "Let's wait until Commander Wei Wei, Embroidered Clothes Guard, finishes singing this big play in Shandong, and then leave immediately. This big play can't be sung well, and it will be very inconvenient for Zi Yang to work in Shandong."

……

Shenjing, the imperial city.

Daming Palace, inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After hearing the report from Wen Chongjiu, the chief executive of the Outer City of CRRC Mansion, Emperor Long'an frowned and said, "Have they all gone to Shandong? It seems that Wei Yong was right. Then, I really can't wait for Luo Shikuan and Cao Xiangyun." , Li Songzhi returned to Beijing."

Dai Quan laughed and said, "Master expected it."

Wen Chongjiu was wearing a bright red eunuch robe, and after giving Dai Quan a jealous look, he smiled apologetically, "Long Live Lord, in fact, CRRC Mansion can do these tasks, and it can do better. It's in this city of Shenjing, Then we can wipe out those people one by one!"

Before Emperor Long'an opened his mouth, Dai Quan frowned and said, "Isn't that a bastard's word? If the master spent an untold amount of money to pull up the CRRC Mansion, if you can't even break through a group of ants, then you might as well hit it to death. It's just that if you fight and kill, you must die..."

Wen Chongjiu seized the opportunity, and immediately sneered and said, "Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, Long Live God has raised us slaves for so long, are you still afraid of death?"

Dai Quan shook his head and said: "Of course slaves are not afraid of death, they are afraid that death is not worth it. To ruin the master's affairs for a group of murderers, that is called recklessness and stupidity. Those people sent to Shandong by their family are all elites. But it may not be the root cause. The Embroidered Clothes Guard is enough, Wei Yong is not a waste. Besides, there is still Lin Xiangye in Shandong. With his old man around, what big things can those mobs who come together from here and there make a big deal?"

Emperor Long'an took this very seriously, raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Lin Aiqing said in the secret compromise last time that she wanted to use tricks to stir up bandits and bandits in the green forests of Shandong. We must punish the elite as much as possible. The bandits and thieves are injustice, and the people of Shandong will be in trouble. I also think so! I have already made Wei Yong obey Lin Aiqing. Come to think of it, how can a mere bandit, robber, and grass thief be an opponent of my prime minister? ?
