Of course, it must not be handed over to the state treasury or something, which would be too offensive, but secretly handed over to the emperor's private treasury.

No one thinks too much money, even though the emperor is rich all over the world, but the state treasury is different from the private treasury. Although the emperor can call the treasury, if the emperor wants to be famous as a king, he rarely uses the money from the treasury for pleasure.Those emperors who use the money from the treasury to build palaces for themselves are foolish emperors.

The private treasury is different, it is the emperor's private property, no matter what the emperor wants to do, no one can say anything.

Therefore, not only will the emperor not be dissatisfied with Lin Ruhai's actions, but he will be very happy and trust Lin Ruhai even more.

But this also has a disadvantage, because the handover was done secretly, that is to say, except for Lin Ruhai himself, the emperor knew about it, and outsiders thought that the money went into Lin Ruhai's pocket.

Once the next emperor does not trust Lin Ruhai and really treats him as a corrupt official who accepts bribes, then Lin Ruhai will not be far from death.

Anxi thought that Lin Ruhai's death in the book probably also had this reason.Xunyan Yushi itself is a dangerous position. If he loses the emperor's trust, no one can protect him.

After Lin Ruhai's wife passed away and his daughter went to Beijing, he lost the will to fight, and it was really dangerous.

Anxi didn't know whether his guess was right or not, but in order to prevent accidents, Anxi still suggested that Lin Ruhai should not keep this matter a secret, at least let those princes know.

Lin Ruhai is a pure minister, does not form cliques, does not pursue personal interests, and is only loyal to the emperor. This is the impression he gave to everyone.Because of his unwavering loyalty, and because of his special position, the emperor stared at him, the princes dared not win him over, and Lin Ruhai could not really go to those princes.

But Lin Ruhai can't leave a bad impression on those princes, who knows what they will do to Lin Ruhai when they are in power, and it is always good to let Lin Ruhai take the position, I am afraid that he will be a victim.

After all, he is not from his own department, and if he is not loyal to himself, then no matter how capable he is, he will not be able to use it.

Therefore, Anxi hopes that Lin Ruhai can leave an impression on the princes that Lin Ruhai is capable, not greedy for money, and loyal, as long as whoever sits on the throne, he will only be loyal to that one.

After these princes come to power, they might think that people like Lin Ruhai are more useful than their direct descendants. After all, those direct descendants who can invest in their own prince may not necessarily not invest in their own children.

But Lin Ruhai is different, he accepts death, as long as he is the emperor one day, he doesn't have to worry about Lin Ruhai taking refuge in his children.

But now, at the critical moment of seizing the throne, no one would think of moving a minister who was not a threat to him, held real power, and was trusted by the emperor.Moreover, this minister may bring him countless wealth in the future, which is like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey.

After listening to Anxi's suggestion, Lin Ruhai also felt that this matter was feasible, and it was extremely simple to operate.

After this period of purging, the Lin Mansion has become an impregnable wall, but this does not mean that there are no more spies in the Lin Mansion, but most of the spies have been exposed in front of Lin Ruhai and Anxi.

For example, Lin Ruhai has Xiaosi who is the eyeliner of the emperor, a servant who cleans the front yard is the first prince, a servant who arranges the flowers and trees in the garden, one is the third prince, the other is the fourth prince, and so on.

These people stayed on purpose. After all, the royal family wants to monitor you, so you should be monitored honestly and pretend not to know. Anyway, the spies who have been exposed are no longer dangerous.

After careful screening by Lin Ruhai, there are people from the emperor, the eldest prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the eleventh prince in the mansion.

There are thirteen princes in total under the current emperor, among them the eldest prince, the third prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince have grown up.The seventh prince is ten years old, and the eleventh prince is six years old, and they are all studying in the study.The thirteenth prince is a baby, and the other princes have died before they grow up.

The eldest prince is the son of Concubine Xian, and also the eldest son, he has quite the emperor's followers, but he is arrogant and domineering, but he has earned military service with the army a few years ago, and most of his subordinates are generals.

The third prince is the child of Concubine De, Concubine De was born in a scholarly family, her grandfather is a great contemporary Confucianist, and her father is also a minister of the Ministry of Rites.So the third prince has a lot of status among the civil servants.

The concubine of the fourth prince's mother is Concubine Niu, and she followed the noble way.Concubine Niu is the eldest daughter of Duke Xiu, with a noble status and a beautiful appearance. She was favored by the emperor as soon as she entered the palace, and even the fourth prince was pampered and raised.

The Eleventh Prince is only six years old, so he shouldn't have put eyeliner on the courtiers so early, but his mother and concubine are Concubine Zhen, the daughter of the Zhen family in Jinling.

The old lady of Zhen's family is today's nanny, and she took care of him when he was three years old when he was out of the palace to avoid acne. Moreover, today's biological mother had dystocia, and passed away after giving birth to him.

It may be the effect of empathy, she is very kind to Mrs. Zhen today, and even bestowed the title of "Mrs. Fengsheng".

Concubine Zhen is the direct granddaughter of Mrs. Fengsheng. She was brought up by Mrs. Fengsheng since she was a child, and her every move was raised according to the emperor's liking. As soon as she entered the palace, she replaced Concubine Niu as the emperor's first favorite concubine.

Concubine Niu hated Zhen Guifei because she was robbed of her favor by Concubine Zhen, and the fourth prince also disliked the eleventh brother, but the eleventh prince was still a child, and the fourth prince couldn't do anything.

Under the emperor's favor, the Zhen family can be said to have overshadowed the sky in Jinling, but obviously, they were not satisfied, and even Gusu's side got involved.

Lin Ruhai didn't believe that the Zhen family only planted spies in their own house, and it is estimated that the entire Jiangnan officialdom would not be spared.

Since finding out about this matter, Lin Ruhai has quietly revealed it to the Gusu prefect. This prefect is a person who governs the country. He belongs to the same noble family as Xiu Guogong, and has the same interests. He doesn't mind helping Concubine Niu in the palace on such trivial matters.

Therefore, under the strong promotion of the magistrate, officials of all sizes in the south of the Yangtze River know that the methods of the Zhen family are too disgusting. You think you are a royal family, and you still plant spies everywhere. Do you want to find out what? Hold on to your own tricks to threaten yourself?

Everyone didn't say it publicly, but they were not very happy in their hearts.It's just that due to the power of the Zhen family, I dare not show it.After knowing this, there are more people who are separated from the Zhen family. Even the Zhen family's cronies are not consciously more prepared. Adhering to the principle that exposed spies are useless, no one actually told the Zhen family that this matter That's how it was hidden.

So up to now, the Zhen family thought that they were hiding things well. They had planted a lot of eyeliners for the eleventh prince, who could monitor the entire Jiangnan officialdom.

In fact, because of this incident, everyone felt bad for the Eleventh Prince. With such a foreign family, if the Eleventh Prince is in power, how can officials like them live in peace?

Although the emperor sent spies, most people know it well, but is it the emperor? They have nothing to do, but you, a prince who has not yet grown up, dare to do this. Do you treat these court officials as your own slaves?

Lin Ruhai cheated the Zhen family and the eleventh prince so quietly.It's nothing else, I just don't want the Zhen family to stare at me on this three-acre land in the south of the Yangtze River.

Although the Xunyan Yushi Mansion was established in Gusu, it actually oversees the entire Jiangnan salt administration. If the Zhen family wants to be the local emperor in Jiangnan, they will inevitably have to fight Lin Ruhai. Not a good thing.

If he loses, it will be difficult for him to move an inch in the south of the Yangtze River. Without political achievements, he may lose the emperor's trust.Winning does not mean that she is safe, as long as Mrs. Fengsheng is still there, as long as the emperor still trusts the Zhen family, Lin Ruhai will face endless revenge from the Zhen family.

Therefore, for his own consideration, the Zhen family's influence in the south of the Yangtze River must be suppressed, and people must not let people know that they did it. All the people who run the country and the government have become the best targets to use, and there is no need to worry that the magistrate will be dissatisfied with Lin Ruhai.

Because strictly speaking, Lin Ruhai betrayed his Yue family to help them.

Although the Xungui family is collectively referred to as the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, they actually have their own factions. For example, Duke Xiu and Zhiguo are good friends. They are rivals with the Zhen family, while the Jia family and the Zhen family are old relatives. .All Duke Xiu and Duke Zhi are actually Lin Ruhai's enemies.

But now that Lin Ruhai abandoned the Yue family and turned to help the 'enemy', what did this mean? It meant that they had a chance to win over Lin Ruhai, a minister who was valued by the emperor. Even if they couldn't win over, they were no longer enemies.

All the prefects will not only thank Lin Ruhai, but also help Lin Ruhai hide it.

And Lin Ruhai not only lost the Zhen family who was over his head, but also vaguely got the support of the prefect of Gusu.After that, he will be much smoother in Gusu and even in the whole of Jiangnan.

Closer to home, the only one who didn't plant spies in the Lin family was the Fifth Prince.It's not that there is nothing, it's just that the fifth prince is more intelligent, he bought a document from the government office.

The fifth prince's life experience is the worst among these princes. His mother and concubine are only the daughter of a minor official. After giving birth to him, he was named a respected concubine, and there has been no promotion until now.Because she herself is not favored, and the fifth prince is completely ignored when she brings trouble, no matter whether it is the court or the harem, they are all invisible.

Concubine Jing's natal family has been a minor official of the fifth rank so far, and has no help for the fifth prince, and the fifth prince himself is also low-key, never showing off, and has been silently developing his own power.

If Lin Ruhai hadn't found out that the document belonged to the fifth prince, he would have thought that the fifth prince was indisputable just like everyone else.

Sure enough, in the royal family, there will be no one who is indisputable.

It's just that the fifth prince knows how to hide better.

Because of the presence of these spies, Lin Ruhai easily disclosed the news to the various princes.Faced with this large amount of property, they were not without emotion, but they also understood that if they stretched out their hands, it would be tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth, and what awaited them was the emperor's butcher's knife.

They are not so stupid, so no matter how greedy they are, they can only pretend that they don't know.

After the gift list was sent out, the emperor didn't say anything, but accepting it already represented his attitude.

While Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief, he was in a good mood. He deliberately chose a day to take Jia Min, who was full of confinement and almost in good health, to the temple to recover.
