The Supreme Emperor Jia She of the Red Chamber

Sweat dripped from the corner of Lin Ruhai's forehead, and he still stared directly at the two emperors seated in front of him, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.

"Lin Aiqing." The emperor closed the letter paper in his hand that recorded the information about Jia Yucun, let out a long breath, and called.

Perhaps Lin Ruhai has always been reliable and responsible. He regards him as a capable minister and cultivates him as a seed that will join the cabinet in time, so he is so disappointed now.

"My minister is here." Lin Ruhai suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly greeted the two emperors with some embarrassment.

"Looking at the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, you can be regarded as self-denying and loyal. You have made a lot of achievements during your tenure in the Three Realms. I am very relieved."

Hearing the emperor's unhurried list of achievements since he became the censor, Lin Ruhai not only did not feel a trace of joy, but cold sweat dripped down his back.This mode of speaking is too familiar, and the praise of a thousand words is not matched by a light but.

Concentrating on his energy, Lin Ruhai listened carefully to every sentence of the emperor, racked his brains, and collected the ink in his belly to prepare himself for the confession.

But unexpectedly, after the emperor praised him, there was nothing else.

Seeing Lin Ruhai's slightly changed face, the emperor sighed again, after all, he was old and his heart softened.

What will happen to Lin Ruhai in the future... The emperor glanced sideways at his son, who was drinking tea quietly, with a look of watching a show on his face, and snorted coldly.

Anyway, there is one emperor and one courtier.

He, the front wave who was beaten to death by the back wave of the Yangtze River, has done his utmost kindness.

"I also hope that Aiqing will not forget her original aspirations in the future." The emperor looked at Lin Ruhai fixedly, and summed up his words meaningfully.

"Thank you, the emperor, for your guidance. I am very grateful." Lin Ruhai knelt on the ground, and at the same time, the uneasiness in his heart grew bigger and bigger.

The emperor hummed lightly, chatted for a few more words, and asked Dai Quan to leave the lobby with the excuse of fatigue and fatigue.

As soon as the emperor left, Hou Xiaokang, who was silent at the side, grabbed Jia Amnesty and planned to leave, "My Majesty, I remembered that an ancient relic confiscated by the Zhen family was suspected to be a cultural relic of the Han Dynasty, and Master Jia was required to accompany him to go for exploration. In this way, Weichen and others will retire first."

"It's okay, it's not too late." Situ Zhao smiled and squinted at Hou Xiaokang, then at Jia She, with a strange light in his eyes, and said with a smile: "You follow the tricky way." Slave accidentally uncovered the largest corruption case so far, but some incidents in Jiangnan are not as familiar as Mr. Lin, and now it is time to ask for advice."

"My humble minister is terrified." Lin Ruhai's mind went blank upon hearing this.

"Lin Aiqing's words are serious. Your political achievements are obvious to all." Situ Zhao got up, smiled and helped Lin Ruhai who was trembling slightly, and saw that his body was stiff, with a smile on his mouth: "Father also told me that you will join the cabinet. The talents who worship the prime minister need to be cultivated well, and they will definitely be ministers of the humerus in the future."

Seeing Lin Ruhai's complexion pale and pale from being frightened by the emperor's words, Jia Amnesty couldn't forgive a trace of sympathy in his heart.What's wrong with this today is that he wants to force Lin Ruhai to give up his position as the censor of Yanyan consciously while thinking about his good reputation.

Even thinking about it, Lin Ruhai was tailor-made to be the inspector of salt and censor.Born into a family with money, at least you don’t have to worry about being too greedy; if you lose your wife and have no children, you don’t have to think about using your power to seek benefits for your family; Also has in-laws with the Jia family, the head of the four major families in Jinling, and is also covered by a teacher in Beijing), and has connections with the local capital, and can protect himself to the greatest extent...

Silently counting the benefits of Lin Ruhai being the censor of salt in his heart, Jia Amnesty became more and more confused about why he looked like a tiger with a smiling face, and he wanted his confidant to replace him after hearing this expectation.

Hou Xiaokang looked at Jia She, who was unconsciously counting on his fingers, with a smile that he didn't even feel at the corner of his mouth.

Hey...His kindness is sometimes silly and soft-hearted.

Uh……

his home?

As if a thunderbolt from the blue sky exploded in the sky, Hou Xiaokang's heart was also shaken, he only felt that the thunderous moment seemed to have broken the shackles that had been old for many years and had some sour taste.

The unfettered heart seems to have accumulated strength, the falcon soaring into the sky, with the belief of winning the hunt in its eyes, staring fiercely at the unaware prey, with only one thought in its mind-eating it to its stomach!

Feeling a strange gaze behind him, Jia She cautiously turned his head to the side, and quickly glanced at it. Seeing that it was an old bamboo horse, his eyes were full of puzzlement: What stupid thing did I do again?Let you use this look of hating iron but not steel?

Hou Xiaokang hurriedly smiled back.

Situ Zhao: "..."

I am so...

The corner of Situ Zhao's mouth twitched violently when he came across this scene by accident.With very serious eyes, he was tempting, threatening, and wooing Lin Ruhai. His mind was spinning quickly, and he tried to figure out each other's words one by one, and the result! ! !As an emperor, he has not yet enjoyed the blessings, and the two courtiers who are less than half a meter away start flirting with each other!

My grandson is already playing soy sauce, can I have some shame! ! !

My grandson is already playing soy sauce, can I have some shame! ! !

Be careful to cause a fire in the backyard and endanger my daughter!

I am absolutely not jealous!

His eyes sank, Situ Zhao suppressed the gloom in his eyes, and looked at Lin Ruhai with a cold expression: "I heard that Enhou mentioned that Aiqing's daughter has inadequacies? Although there are many doctors in the south of the Yangtze River, they can't match Xinglin in Beijing." .”

"My minister thanked the emperor for his concern." When Situ Zhao mentioned Daiyu, Lin Ruhai was suddenly overshadowed.He was able to deal with the current situation, and he pretended to be deaf and dumb when he didn't get the official position involved in returning to Beijing without the other party's golden words.

Apart from the sudden loss of his father's protection as a young man, he has been admitted to the imperial examinations all his life, and he has been promoted step by step, and his life has been so smooth and smooth, and the faint tone of the emperor makes him feel a little smug.

Undeniably, he is proud!

But this pride is actually nothing in front of the imperial power.

Lin Ruhai closed his eyes to hide the sudden leak of emotion, knelt down and kowtowed, and said again: "I only have one daughter in this life, if I can look like a red makeup and get married, this life is enough."

"No, no, I'm afraid it will be a headache to choose a son-in-law for him at that time." Seeing Lin Ruhai think about it, Situ Zhao's face softened, and he laughed and joked at the son-in-law who stood silently by the side, "It's like how I was I can't wait to get someone to recruit a son-in-law directly."

Hou Guoqiang adhered to the idea of ​​not talking when he was young and just watching the show. When he saw that he was recruited, he didn't care. Directly report the name of Situ's family!"

"Haha, you young couple still remember that I love Qi'er?" Situ Zhao smiled, as if it was a matter of course, "Whoever called him a child of the Hou family, even if I spoiled him, he wouldn't care about Situ The ancestors of my family will come out from the imperial tomb to scold me."

Situ Zhao narrowed his eyes, and following this topic, he led Lin Ruhai to chat about the sad experience of his only daughter being raped by a pig, so as to ease the previous stiff atmosphere.Seeing that Lin Ruhai also returned to white, she lowered her voice, smiled lightly, and said, "Does Lin Aiqing know why the emperor wanted to see you earlier?"

"My humble minister is dull." Lin Ruhai returned respectfully with downcast eyes, and at the same time secretly heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately he had been tense before and did not relax.

On this side Lin Ruhai was secretly rejoicing, on the other side Jia She heard the words and saw Situ Zhao picking up the letterhead on the table, his face turned livid with fright.

He really didn't accuse Lin Ruhai of being black!

"I also know that Lin Aiqing loves her daughter as much as her life, and has invited a teacher for her daughter, but has this person Aiqing ever inquired about her character?" Situ Zhao asked straightforwardly, admiring Jia She's suddenly changed bitter face.

Lin Ruhai was terrified when he pointed directly at Jia Yucun. He bowed and said, "Reporting to the emperor, I kissed the teacher for the child. The name is Jia Yucun. It was recommended by a friend and I have also inspected its quality." Sexology..."

"Then recommend him to be an official?" Situ Zhao chuckled, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth: "I'm tired too, Mr. Lin might as well think about the reason why you changed your recommendation."

Lin Ruhai: "..."

Hearing this, the thoughts of weighing the pros and cons at that time suddenly entered his mind, Lin Ruhai watched Situ Zhao leave, and did not come back to his senses until someone stood in front of him dangling his hands.

Ai Ai wrote Jia Sheqiqi, "I... I can explain in advance that although this matter was involved when I scolded Leng Zixing angrily, the origin is that you did not do it properly yourself. The emperor hates hiding things. Today Even with the look of "the honorable rice worms get out of my court", it's no problem for you to recommend Jia Yucun to Jia's family as a guest, but you have to pay some fees and leave favors to let the second child use Jia's family connections to go out, Isn't this making things difficult for today?"

"I……"

"Lord Lin, we are both officials in the court. I would like to advise you that sometimes you might as well stand on the top of the peak and think about issues." Not seeing Jia She's cautious look, Hou Xiaokang took a step forward, pulled Jia She away, and stood still In front of Lin Ruhai, after he finished speaking every word, he grabbed Jia She to leave, and said as he walked, "You didn't say it yourself earlier, I called you when you were taking stock of the antiques."

Jia stopped struggling for an instant, and obediently followed behind.

For a while, the house was quiet.

Hou Guoqiang watched the two leave, smiled and comforted himself with the words "It's going to rain and my father wants to marry a wife" and he had no choice but to take a silent look at Lin Ruhai, leaving room for thinking very thoughtfully, and left quietly.

Are you alone in the house?

Lin Ruhai wanted to laugh a little but was more self-deprecating annoyance.

He did all his calculations, but he never expected that he would fall on this, for such an aboveboard reason.

If he hadn't thought about his special status at the beginning, he was afraid of being branded as a party member, and he had thought about the letter from Jia's family that there was a promise of Shuangyu's marriage, he would not have thought about getting his second brother-in-law to recommend him, and hoped that Jia Yucun would read it in the future. Seeing his kindness will help Jia Zheng make contacts.

What a mistake, missed the emperor's heart.

But that's politics.

A trivial detail may change the attribution of victory.
