I can't die

It's no wonder that Ci'an let go so easily. The imperial pharmacy, the most lucrative department in the inner court, is also the most secretive department, and it just fell into his hands.Cixi is really generous. It seems that An Dehai's status in Cixi's heart is really not low.However, in other words, An Dehai is so favored, but now he is in trouble, if Cixi does not win him, it will be chilling in the eyes of others.

The person in charge of the imperial pharmacy changed from Cixi's to Ci'an, which officially symbolized the end of An Dehai's involvement.Soon, the order of the empress dowagers of the two palaces was issued to the Department of Punishment. Similarly, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the scholar Arut were both punished to a certain extent. months.hehe. . .The three-month fine is not enough to run the Royal Pharmacy for three days. As for the few acres of fertile land you said An Dehai occupied in his hometown?Since Ci'an eats meat, Zai Chun must have to fish for some water, so it fell into Zai Chun's pocket.

Although An Dehai didn't suffer any punishment, he seemed to lose a layer of skin when he left the Punishment Division. He had to rest for six days before he could return to Songhezhai as an errand.I heard that when I came back, I saw Cixi hugging Cixi's thigh and crying, which caused Cixi to shed a few tears. It really is the love between master and servant.

These five days of effort were enough for Lin Ruzhou to reach Chengde.Zai Chun was Lin Ruzhou who met at Qinzheng Hall.Lin Ruzhou is the eldest son of Lin Zexu, and the only member of the Lin family who has become a scholar. He is only 42 now, but he looks about the same age as Zeng Guofan. Obviously, life is not very good.

"See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Zai Chun sat in the upper seat, got up from the seat quickly, and went forward to help him up, but his small arms and legs seemed a little weird.

"Get up."

Lin Ruzhou lowered his head, feeling the emperor walking down, he didn't dare to look directly, until he felt the strength coming from his hands, then he got up in surprise.

"Aying, give me a seat quickly, and Zhilan will serve the tea."

Zai Chun's tone seemed very earnest, and Lin Ruzhou's heart felt warm when he heard it.He was suddenly summoned to face the saint, and he was worried about committing some taboo, but now hearing the emperor's tone, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't dare, I just stand there."

Lin Ruzhou's identity is only an editor of the Hanlin Academy, so he knows his identity, and dare not entrust his education in front of the emperor, so he hastily said he did not dare.Unexpectedly, Zai Chun seemed to clearly want to make a face for him, and forced him to sit on the chair. The hand of the seven-year-old child seemed to weigh a thousand catties on his shoulder, which made Lin Ruzhou flattered.

"How is the Lin family recently?"

For this meeting, Zaichun specially asked Zhilan to prepare a Longjing tea soaked in dew, which was a new product that Li Hongzhang, governor of Jiangsu, had just presented as a tribute this year.

"If you go back to the emperor, thanks to the emperor's kindness, your life is going well. The minister has already become a scholar, received the imperial salary, and has fame. The whole family has been exempted from hard labor. It has been much better in the past few years."

Lin Ruzhou didn't dare to relax in front of the emperor, so he got up from the chair and bent down to answer.Listening to Lin Ruzhou's words, Zai Chun could more or less guess the unfinished meaning in his words.The Lin family has not been as good as it used to be in recent years.From a family of first-rank officials to now only relying on the editorial salary of Weibo, the gap can be imagined.

That's right, the Lin family was confiscated back then.Fortunately, Emperor Daoguang knew that he was ashamed and did not deprive his family of the right to take the imperial examination, otherwise the Lin family is no different from ordinary people now.

"Who else is at home?"

"My mother left with my father a few years ago, and I am the only son. Apart from Zhuojin, there is also a daughter."

At the moment, Zai Chun casually asked the descendants of the Lin family about everyday matters, which were all trivial things, but it also made Lin Ruzhou's tense heartstrings slowly relax.While Zai Chun was asking questions, he was also thinking about Lin Ruzhou's thoughts. He heard that the Lin family didn't seem to have any resentment towards the royal family, so he was relieved, and then said: "Mr. Yuan Fugong's unfinished business?"

Father's unfinished business?When Lin Ruzhou heard the words, his heart couldn't help beating wildly.What did Lin Zexu most want to accomplish in his life?Smoking was banned, and even before his father died, he held his hand firmly on the hospital bed and told him to serve the country faithfully and not to complain about the court.

"Your minister is terrified." Everyone knows how difficult it is to ban smoking. There are great powers outside the Qing Dynasty, and the internal authorities are weak and afraid of death.

"You don't need to do that, tell me, let's read the theory first." Then Zai Chun summoned Li Lianying, and handed over to Lin Ruzhou the method of banning smoking discussed by everyone before.Lin Ruzhou immediately took it with both hands, opened it, and read it carefully, but saw that there were at least a thousand words written in this policy, from how to grow opium, to newspapers, and then to the issue of folk customs, it was written in great detail.

The more Lin Ruzhou watched, the more excited he became, and finally his hands trembled, and he knelt down again.

"The emperor's move is very good. If it can be implemented, although it will not be effective immediately, it will definitely eradicate the scourge of opium in the long run."

Zai Chun could see Lin Ruzhou's uncontrollable emotions, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up again: "I can't be a big gift from the Lin family. I owe your Lin family many things that I love Xinjue Luo family."

What Zai Chun said was very sincere, Lin Ruzhou Wan didn't expect this apology to come from the emperor's mouth, his eyes widened for a moment, and the corners of his eyes were moist.

"emperor...."

"You are not like this. I have something to ask you, but I hope you can agree to it."

"I don't dare to be a minister. There are mountains of knives and fire, and I will definitely die after doing my best."

Looking at the loyal minister in front of him, Zai Chun couldn't help but take a deep breath.If there are ministers like this, there is no hope for the Qing Dynasty, isn't it?At that moment, Zai Chun told him that he hoped that Lin Ruzhou would be the editor-in-chief of the newspaper and promote the ban on smoking.The more Lin Ruzhou listened, the tighter his hands were, and he said decisively: "I will never let down the emperor's kindness. Before my father died, I still had several volumes of handbooks that specifically recorded his experience in banning smoking for many years, and I would like to present them to you."

Zai Chun's eyes lit up when he heard this sentence, and he said three "good" words in a row.

"Lin Yuanfu was posthumously made a first-class viscount, and his wife was made Mrs. Zhongguo. Lin Aiqing was transferred to Wenyuan Pavilion, and given the title of Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, the son inherited his father's career."

"I thank the emperor Long En, but I still have a daughter..."

Unexpectedly, before Lin Ruzhou finished speaking, Zai Chun waved his hand and said, "Qing is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and I will definitely protect your descendants. In this way, the daughter of Xuanlin Palace enters the palace to accompany Princess Rongshouchang Come with me. Under my nose, I will be safe."
