Linzhi Gongzi [Red Mansion]

The life of Lin Hai, the salt censor in the Lianghuai River, was indeed not easy.The emperor's words "the minister of my humerus" was like setting him on fire—if the minister of the humerus had any difficulty with the emperor's orders in the future, the one sitting on the dragon chair would turn his back on him immediately. People, torture you in different ways.

Master Lin thought of his predecessor's ending, and suddenly shivered.

He had stayed at Yushitai, how could he forget that.

A colleague once got the news from unknown sources that the imperial blue satin made by Suzhou weaving and offering offerings was not in good condition and faded when exposed to water.It is a serious crime to be so disrespectful to the imperial creation, so this colleague ruthlessly read a book of Wenli in the court.

Emperor Xuan came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask, and it turned out to be the case, and he was furious!Immediately issued a strict decree to ask Wenli to wear a shackle for one year as a punishment.Later, for some reason, he boasted in the court how loyal Wenli was to the country.The order to wear a flail for one year is naturally nothing.

Although the matter was anticlimactic, it was even thoughtless.But who in Yushitai is not full of doubts.That colleague's impeachment ceremony was clearly instructed.Originally, Lin Hai suspected that he was Wen Li's political opponent, but now it seems that it was clearly ordered by the emperor himself.

Wen Yishu's cold words appeared in his mind at the right time.

"Master Lin is really a good candidate for patrolling the imperial censor, and he has nothing to worry about behind him. Unlike my father, who wants to get out, he still thinks about it, afraid of hurting the orphans and children."

This is simply telling him: Lin Hai will die just like Wen Li.But his Wen family still has a man to support the family, and his Lin family!The human body is dead, with no relatives left and right, leaving a sickly little girl far away in Chang'an, alone.If he really had an emergency, what would his daughter do!

Lin Ruhai looked at the official business on the table at this moment, and his heart was like a knife.He has been negligent in taking care of himself since his wife passed away. Now that he was anxious, he coughed violently, and his cheeks showed a sick blush.

The darkness in the Lianghuai officialdom did not happen overnight.When he took over as Xunyan Yushi, he didn't know how deep the water was.Even though he had made some preparations, he was still too frightened by the cruelty of reality to say anything.The so-called not seeking merit but seeking no faults, carefully maintaining the salt administration so as not to lose money, and fighting with various forces has exhausted Lin Ruhai's efforts.

This year's salt tax can be handed over without delay, which is already the result of this lord's day and night, burning ointments.If a small change happened at this time, it would break the tranquility of the Lianghuai officialdom.The first thing those frightened birds who are full of food all day long have to think about is themselves sitting on the Yanzheng.

Thinking that His Highness the Third Highness just took on the title of inspection, the south of the Yangtze River had no peace for half a year.The words Wen Yishu said to him were clearly not to inform him of good or bad, but a talisman to remind him!

Wen Yishu once asked Lin Hai a question, as a minister, is he for the king or for the people?

Lin Hai was puzzled at the time, what is the difference between the two?The boy who was even more beautiful than Haitang smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's different."

Now he understands that if the ruler stands against the people of the world, the answer to this question will be extremely difficult.The princes in the court were fighting, and Wen Yishu's words meant to win Lin Hai to stand beside His Royal Highness Zhao Wang.This made Lin Hai doubtful, how could he guarantee that His Royal Highness King Zhao would always be on the side of the people.

Thinking of this, the former Tanhua Lang couldn't help laughing at himself for being a scholar, and having been immersed in officialdom for many years, he still wanted to make a happy career for the lonely people in the world.

Lin Hai didn't dare to think about cleaning up the darkness in the official circles in Lianghuai.But still holding some meaning of the breeze.Therefore, he colluded with the Yangzhou salt merchants and local officials, promised to release loan sharks outside, and part of the printed books for collecting interest was handed over to Wen Yishu, asking him to forward it on his behalf.As for who was transferred to, it was not specified.

Wen Yishu didn't seem to be surprised when he knew about this.But when he got the printed book, even though he had already guessed it, he was still shocked by the information on it.The smile in his eyes faded, and he asked Lin Hai: "When did Lord Lin find this printed book?"

"It was not long after I took office. The magistrate of Yangzhou came to make friends with me specially, saying that he wanted to tell me some connections. I pretended to be curious and listened carefully, and expressed respect. When he talked about the interest, he saw my attitude. Gong He thought it was one of his own, and informed the store. I asked the family housekeeper to borrow a pseudonym, and I got a few left and right, and hid them until now."

"Lord Lin really has courage," Wen Yishu praised after hearing these narrations.

Hearing this, Lin Hai heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that giving these things could be regarded as a good sale to His Highness King Zhao.I just hope that he will not have any intentions of being a corporal in the future.

However, things are not going well.He sat in such an important position, and there were always people who wanted to push him.Not long after that compliment from my humerus, a messenger was welcomed to Lin Hai's government office.He called himself Zhao Qiaoze, and he was the younger brother of a rightly favored side concubine of the Eastern Palace, Mrs. Zhao.This time, at the order of the prince, I came here to pay tribute to the hard work of Xunyan Yushi.

It's just that he was exhausted all the way, and he had no money to go back north.It's not easy to see His Royal Highness the Prince when he goes back empty-handed.So I wanted to ask Mr. Lin to help some.The chief official Zhao also brought a letter written by the crown prince, asking Mr. Lin to take good care of his ignorant wife and brother.

Master Lin looked at Zhao Qiaoze who was smiling arrogantly in front of him, and a cold sweat broke out from behind.Wen Yishu's eyes that seemed to see through his plan came to his mind again.

"This is something Master Lin gave me. I only hope that Master Lin will be lucky enough to not receive any letters from others in the future. When I received it, I opened the gate of the dragon gate and sent things out day and night."

The young man put away the evidence and left a sentence: "I don't know if Mr. Lin still has the guts to be in Yushitai, and he will listen to the heavens in a memorial to denounce Chen Chi."

Lin Hai closed his eyes, and said softly to Zhao Qiaoze: "It's really not easy for Chief Zhao to come to the south of the Yangtze River after all. The humble house is simple, and he must treat Chief Official Zhao badly..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao's eyes widened and he sneered: "Your Excellency, are you going to reject me?"

"What did the official say?" Lin Hai didn't panic, and his tone was still gentle. "If you neglect your lord, if you let the crown prince know, you will definitely blame your subordinates. This is the most interesting place in Yangzhou city than in the government office. The sea is gone, please wait at the post station for a while. The servants will go and prepare for it, and take the wind and wash the dust for the adults in the evening."

Hearing that he was still respectful, Zhao Qiaoze half-believed, and stabbed his lips: "Are you kidding me, my lord?"

Lin Hai hurriedly bowed, "How dare, how dare, how dare you lie to the prince's wife and brother."

Hearing that Lin Hai was so afraid of the prince's authority and raised him as high as possible, Zhao Qiaoze finally believed it, and went to the station to rest without mentioning it.

In the evening, Lin Hai called several big salt merchants in Yangzhou City to entertain the prince's wife and brother in the best moon-chasing building in Yangzhou City.Because Lin Hai specially emphasized that these businessmen naturally know the elegant meaning after hearing the stringed songs, and all kinds of precious gifts are nothing more than the bright side, what is rare is that there is another mystery hidden under the box.

Someone saw that the chief official kept looking at the dancing girl, and immediately asked the family to send two girls who were very good at training.Sure enough, Zhao Qiaoze accepted it without even refusing.

He was a white man who didn't even get a small official position. It was the first time he saw so many treasures, and he was so happy.I can't wait to sleep with these coins day and night.

It was the first time for this person to come back to do such an errand for the prince. He was fascinated by the prosperity of the place, and he was flattered by the people present. He took the benefits and got soft, so naturally he forgot the last thing the prince told him. That important sentence: You should pay attention to whether Lin Ruhai has given filial piety honestly.

These salt merchants had venomous eyes, and at a glance, they took a good look at the autumn wind from the inside out, and coaxed him back obediently.Lin Hai, who was sitting with him, saw that Zhao Qiaoze was so happy that he couldn't find Bei, and finally let out the breath that was pent up in his throat.

For a while, he fell into depression again, and felt that the days to come would be extremely sad if he was really caught by that Wen Yi's words.But besides taking refuge in His Highness King Zhao, is there no other way out of trouble?

·

After Wen Yishu arrived in the capital, he played and played for more than half a month, and was finally scared by the sun in the sky and went back to the house.Several lakes and mountains have nothing to do with this master, cold bowls are served, ice is used to cool down the house, and fans are used, but he is still uncomfortable.After a few words of persuasion, it would be cool to be calm, but Wen Yishu stared at him and said that his chest stopped beating, so it was really cool.

Liang Yu came over and saw his lazy look, so he persuaded Wen Shu to study, not forgetting Qiu Wei.Wen Yishu either pretended not to hear, or made a fool of Liang Yu.Leaning close to his ear and blowing, there is a faint pool of water hidden in his eyes.It made Liang Yu so fascinated that he completely forgot what he should say.

Fortunately, Wen Yishu's lawlessness is still ruled by someone - a letter from Mr. Ji Lin was sent from Liangxi Yaqiu Academy.Then Wen Yishu sat at home to study obediently, didn't go anywhere, and didn't flirt with Liang Yu anymore.

Seeing that Ji Xia has passed, August is just around the corner.

Autumn is just around the corner, and Wen Yishu is restless day by day, pointing to Liang Yu and saying: "Students are so pitiful, they have learned all their life and sold them to your family. In the end, they didn't even give them a good place to write. They didn't arrange food, and didn't provide shelter from the wind and rain. , that stool can’t even straighten its legs, and there are even poisonous insects and snakes. It’s nothing more than nine days of no activity in the exam, and it’s nothing more than going to jail! The scholars owe you money, and you have to treat the scholars like this!”

Liang Yu was dumbfounded when he pointed his nose and scolded him.Immediately realized that Wen Yishu disliked the bad environment of the Gongyuan.He touched his nose, a little embarrassed, and argued: "Students all over the world are like this..."

"So you didn't plan to change it at all," Wen Yishu snorted coldly, some words had come to his lips but in the end he held back without saying anything, and showed the disappointment that made Liang Yu flustered, "Forget it, It's boring. It's not like this in every dynasty...all of them are the same."

Liang Yu hurriedly said: "I will definitely change it in the future. I will remember what you said before, and I will definitely change it!"

Wen Yishu looked at him fixedly, wondering what could be changed?Can you change this world into the place I used to be?At the very least, people are not anyone's slaves, not slaves who can ruin their lives.

Thinking of this, he laughed at himself in his heart: Why do we need to remember such things.Having lived here for 17 years, the privileges and aloofness of the powerful have been nourished in his body.I miss it so much because I was defeated by a greater privilege, and I was unwilling and resentful once I fell.

After venting an inexplicable evil fire, Wen Yishu felt bored, waved his hand to Liang Yu and said that he went to read a book.Liang Yu couldn't stay here because he had something to do in the afternoon, so he said goodbye to Wen Yishu and left.

Wen Yishu sent him out, and when he returned to the study, he heard West Lake talking to Tianchi Dongting.She said, "Do you feel that His Royal Highness King Zhao looks darker?"

Tianchi said with a smile: "In this weather, if you walk outside every day, everyone will be dark."

Dongting then said: "Not everyone is like our master, who is so white that he is raised like a girl."

West Lake usually doesn't like to talk, but now she says that Liang Yu is tanned, which means he is really tanned.She hesitated for a moment, and said: "I didn't think so at first, but standing next to the uncle, it's more conspicuous than that."

"What are you worried about?" Tianchi laughed more and more, "It's okay for a man to get a little tanned. When the third master is those idiots outside, they talk like a mother and put on makeup."

Xihu said yes, and the three of them started talking about something else.

Wen Yishu, who had listened to the gossip at the door, involuntarily touched his face, recalling Liang Yu's handsome face, and felt that it really seemed a little darker.

Inexplicably, he was a little distressed and a little guilty.After thinking about it, don't let Liang Yu run back and forth like this.

At this time, Mo Chou brought a shower and saw Wen Yishu standing at the door in a daze, with a strange expression on his face, "Master, it's so hot, why are you standing at the door?"

Wen Yishu came back to his senses, shook his head in a concealed manner, opened the door and went in and sat down at the desk.Thinking of the promises Liang Yu had made to him, he couldn't calm down for a while, so he put down his pen and touched the scroll and sighed without mentioning it.

The author has something to say: It is not uncommon for the prince to blackmail officials, and the Cao family has been blackmailed by Yinfeng many times~
