While Shang Chanchan was holding the big flower and feeding the little dried fish, Baoning Marquis Shang Duo and Fuguo General Xie Yuchu were meeting in the imperial study.

Xie Yuce is reporting Qin Keqing's investigation by the Emperor Cheng'en's mansion.

Thinking of his son being able to discover the secrets of Ningguo Mansion from a little clue, Xie Yuce is still very proud.

But Bao Ninghou stood aside and listened carefully, not knowing at all that this was information from his daughter.

"Oh, so it's Yizhong's illegitimate daughter." The emperor said indifferently.

The deposed prince is now given to a noble prince of Yizhong Prince, but he was imprisoned in the mansion by an imperial decree from the Supreme Emperor, and he is destined to die.

This is because the Supreme Emperor is very tolerant to him.Back then when he brought his two younger brothers to the palace, those two princes were already dead. Only he was the eldest son of the Supreme Emperor, so he was different in the end and saved his life.

After several years of bloody storms and storms, the seven brothers of the emperor's generation, now only the two princes Zhongyong and Zhongshun are the only ones left.

Xie Yuchu, General Xie Xie nodded: "The minister was ordered to investigate, and found out that the Qin family, Jia Rong's wife in the Ningguo Duke's mansion, was quite strange. He quietly took his adoptive father Qin Ye and tortured him. Only then did he find out that his family was originally a He came from a personal soldier of Prince Yizhong, but he was later released and got a seventh-rank official position."

"Prince Yizhong took the fireworks girl outside privately, so naturally he didn't dare to let the emperor know about it, so he kept him outside. Later, when Prince Yizhong's incident happened, Qin Ye went to take away the Qin family who was less than ten years old at that time, and kept her at home. He lied that he was adopted as a child."

Bao Ninghou smiled and concluded: "One dares to hug, and the other dares to marry. It really is audacious."

He always had face in front of the emperor, and he dared to joke lightly and cheerfully at this time.

The emperor stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, still calm and said: "I know."

The two of Shang and Xie have always been familiar with the emperor's mind, this means to write down this matter, and it means that it will happen again in the future, so they don't mention it anymore.

Instead, the emperor picked up a brochure from the case: "Lin Ruhai, the censor of salt inspection, suddenly gave me a pamphlet. This is quite interesting, he is a servant of the emperor, and he claims to be clean, even if I ascend the throne, I have never seen him." How warm he is, it’s just a routine. Now it’s quite loyal.”

Shang Duo smiled: "I know the reason."

After finishing speaking, he told about Lin Daiyu's insult by Zhou Jingran one by one, and even made it clear about his letter writing and Lin Ruhai's matter, without hiding anything.

Then I will explain my own motives: "His daughter was wronged in the courtier's house, so I don't want to pass it on to Mr. Lin. I also heard that Miss Lin is not having a good time in her grandfather's house, so she is studying in the same department." It's not good for the Yichen to stand by and watch."

The emperor put the note back on the case: "It turned out that the reason why I wanted to go back to Beijing to be loyal was because of my only daughter, not because of loyalty to the emperor."

The words were serious, Xie Yuce lowered his head slightly, and had a deeper understanding of the narrow-mindedness of the emperor.With a monarch like this, the queen and the eldest prince may still have troubles in the future.

But Shang Duo said with a calm smile: "Master Lin and the minister are of the same discipline, and His Majesty is not ignorant of him. The man at the other end is a literati who is proud of his talents, but he has the real ability to manage the salt administration. Such a person, don't use it in vain. Need not."

"Your Majesty has wronged him when he said he was disloyal to the emperor. In the past, when I was in the south of the Yangtze River, I saw that many princes wooed him. He has no sympathy to speak of."

The emperor's face softened when he heard this: Although he is the emperor, he is not big-minded.Lin Ruhai never followed and flattered him at first, so he was destined not to become his confidant.But Shang Duo was right, such a person would not be anyone's confidant, he was just a good official.

In front of him, Shang Duo and Xie Yuce are both his confidantes, Xie Yucee is in the army, but Shang Duo is at the top by himself, but he is useless.

The emperor originally wanted him to be the minister of the household department first, and then let Shang Duo be the prime minister after Zhu Xiangguo was invited to take the initiative to become an official next year.

But in this way, the household department will be vacant.The people under him are not capable enough to be confidants, and those who are trustworthy enough are hard to take on heavy responsibilities.

After all, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and there is still the emperor above him, so there are not enough people in his hands.

The emperor is most optimistic about Shang Duo's eldest son, Shang Chi.He watched this cousin grow up, he must be loyal and loyal, and must be capable and capable.

It's a pity that Shang Chi is only 20 years old and has just entered the court as an official. It will take at least ten years for him to take charge of the household department on his own.

Now is the time for Lin Ruhai's note to come: Anyway, I can't find the most suitable confidant to put it in, so it's better to put a serious official here to hold it, and we'll talk about it later.

So the emperor picked up the vermilion pen: "Forget it, then I will give him a chance to be loyal."

Shang Duo smiled.

Hubu, he wants to keep it for his son.If the emperor's other confidants hold the power, it will be difficult for him to take it from others.Only Lin Ruhai, who is upright and upright, does not admire power.Now he has accepted his own favor, and when he is old enough to be an official, he can just hand over the power to Shang Chi.

At this time, Lin Ruhai, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, was sorting out official documents.

That day when he told the housekeeper that he would be transferred back to the capital, he was dizzy with anger for a moment, wishing he could rush to his daughter's side that night.

It's just that he is the Xunyan Yushi after all, a serious official of the second rank, and he can't just turn around and leave if he wants to go back to the capital.If you return to Beijing privately, you will be punished for a felony!

When he calmed down, he thought carefully about Shang Duo's behavior and the current situation in the capital, and he somewhat understood.

So he took up a pen and wrote a note to please An, expressing his allegiance to the new emperor.

If you seize this opportunity, let alone be transferred back to Beijing, I'm afraid that this official position can go up a step.

Even if he was hired by the emperor as a temporary worker, even if it was only for a year or so, he would not return to Beijing in vain.

As long as he can do his official duties conscientiously and hand over the power of the household department to the emperor's confidants in the future, the emperor will definitely show his attitude. a good end.

Retiring from a high position in the central power center of Beijing will definitely be more glorious than abdicating from the history of patrolling salt and censorship.

What's more, the emperor has no one available now, and his tenure will last for three years without accident, so during this period, it happens to be able to find a good family for Yu'er, and he will be safe and happy from now on.

Lin Ruhai was only 20 years old when he was hit by Tanhua Lang, straddling the horse and parading the angry horse in fresh clothes.At that time, I may not have the ambition to be a great minister and serve the country and the people in my heart.

It's a pity that God didn't want it.

He was middle-aged, his wife lost his son, and his half-life official career turned out to be nothing but prosperity.Up to this point in this life, his only wish is that his Yu'er can be well.

That's all.

Since others are unreliable, he has to support his daughter by himself.
