Survive in the world of Red Mansions

Lin Hai stood in the palace of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, listening to the decision of the emperor and the emperor above regarding the investigation of the Changping warehouse mentioned yesterday, and officially announced at the court meeting that the case would be handed over to the Ministry of Xing, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate The three divisions conduct a joint trial.

After the emperor abdicated, he did not go to court for a period of time due to physical reasons. Since his health improved slightly, he will attend the court meeting four or five times a month, or every time a major event is announced, he will attend the court meeting. Chang Pingcang's handling opinion was reported to the emperor, and today it is officially announced that it will be judged by the three divisions, so the emperor is also present at the court meeting today.

Lin Hai couldn't help thinking in his heart, it's no wonder that those old ministers still put the emperor's will first, and dared to obey the new emperor. The emperor is not willing or willing to let go of some important matters, not to mention Li Min To be in power completely is to be able to compete with the emperor. As far as Lin Hai currently guesses, it will take at least one or two years to prepare and accumulate. The current emperor should put patience first, but at present the relationship between the emperor and the emperor Disputes among them are really not beneficial to the stability of the court.

Sitting in the sedan chair back home, Lin Hai couldn't help thinking about what he had said to the emperor when he met alone with His Majesty earlier today.

He followed Dai Quan to Qianqing Palace, and after kowtowing, Emperor Li Min asked directly: "What does Lin Qing think about the handling of Changping warehouse during this inventory?"

"Didn't Your Majesty decide on the joint trial of the three divisions?" Lin Hai really wanted to say what else I could think about. This is also the decision of your old man and the emperor, right? !

Lin Hai slightly raised his head and looked at the emperor who was sitting behind the imperial case. His Majesty the emperor would not suddenly get into trouble. He had already announced the interrogation of the three divisions. Could it be that he wants to change his mind now, but the current situation is that the emperor has already Agreed, and he is not allowed to change, right? !

"Your Majesty has other ideas now?" Lin Hai asked cautiously.

Lin Hai looked at His Majesty the Emperor who was sitting behind the imperial case and suddenly became troubled. He didn't know what to say, and he almost laughed out loud when he was stunned by a sentence he said below.

"It went so well!"

Alas, poor Li Min, he is used to being oppressed by the emperor. Li Min probably made a lot of preparations in advance for this inspection of the Changping warehouse. He probably thought that no matter how difficult it would be, he must try to convince his father. Agreed to thoroughly investigate this matter and severely punish the relevant officials. The current situation is that the emperor only reported the matter to the emperor, and did not wait for the present to persuade him. The emperor agreed to this matter, but felt uncomfortable.

It's like in modern times, when someone goes to a government department to do something, he planned to go seventeen or eight times and cover dozens of chapters to get it done. How could he know that the first time he went, he stamped a chapter and then went to work. The staff said, if you go this time today, everything will be settled, and you don’t need to go a second time, and the matter will be settled.

"Your Majesty, isn't the emperor's agreement to thoroughly investigate the relevant officials of the Changping warehouse incident just in line with your wishes?"

"Indeed, what does Lin Qing think should be done with the relevant officials who will be investigated later this time?"

Lin Hai heard the emperor's words, this time he was full of entanglement, is it suitable to ask me this kind of question?Do you still need to ask me?Have you already made up your own mind? !

"Both your majesty and the emperor have already decided on the joint trial of the three divisions, so of course they will be punished according to the law in the end?"

Li Min himself couldn't figure out why he wanted to discuss this issue with Lin Hai. To be honest, his life now is even more aggrieved than before he ascended the throne. Although his father has abdicated, he still has to ask about everything. Most of the officials in the court still looked at their father and acted with winks, and it was only trivial matters that they could handle.

After he sat on the throne, people around him became more and more cautious of him, including those staff who followed him before, as if he would kill people at any time and become a tyrant.It seems that Lin Hai is the only one. Seeing how he was before he ascended the throne, and how he is now, at least seeing that he will not be like other people. When facing himself, he feels like a beast that wants to eat people at any time , too careful.

The emperor thought for a while, and said: "Changping warehouse has such a serious problem, there must be many officials involved, and all of them will be dealt with according to the law. There will also be several important vacancies in these two places. Who does Lin Qing think will be more suitable?" ?”

"Your Majesty, Mr. Guo, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, will know more about this!"

"You don't need to be too restrained, you might as well tell me your opinion."

In fact, Li Min always felt that something was wrong with his father's attitude towards this incident, which caused his own uneasiness, and subconsciously wanted to find someone to talk to, so he thought of talking to Lin Hai about it.

"The three divisions will conduct a joint trial and act according to the law. As for the final candidate, your majesty may wish to listen to the emperor's opinion. The emperor may have different ideas."

As soon as Li Min heard what Lin Hai said, it was very different from his original intention. Originally, the investigation this time was to check out the resident insects of the court, and the other was to install his own manpower. Now, according to Lin Hai, It is obvious that he does not approve of his own approach.

If so, the emperor signaled Lin Hai to continue, "Why?"

"What your majesty has done this time is beneficial to the court and society, but I personally think that your majesty is a little impatient for the emperor! You might as well take the opportunity to make some remedies after the joint trial of the three divisions. This is just my personal opinion. Your majesty may wish to consider it." one time."

To put it bluntly, your father is very dissatisfied with you reaching out to grab power, you should be more honest, boy!

After listening to what Lin Hai said, Li Min also understood what Lin Hai meant, but he understood that he understood, but he was really unwilling. He specially ordered Wang Li and Lin Junwen, who went to inspect these two places, to thoroughly investigate these two places. And to report to the imperial court, because he took a fancy to the important status of these two places, and wanted to replace these two places with his own people as much as possible.

From the present point of view, it is unlikely, so it is better to be more straightforward, and to consult the royal father in advance for future candidates, and arrange according to the royal father's wishes, which can also satisfy the royal father. I am really unwilling!

The more Li Min thought about this, the more depressed he felt, and in the end he could only let Lin Hai back down.

After Lin Hai returned to the Lin Mansion, he saw that all the trees in the mansion were hung with five-color paper. Looking at them from a distance, it was quite interesting. Then he realized that today is Daiyu's birthday, and it is also the Flower Festival.However, the capital is in the north, and the weather is still relatively cold, and the seasons for various flowers have not yet come into bloom. If it is still in Yangzhou, on the day of the Flower Festival on February [-], the mansion will be decorated with colorful flowers and flowers. The winter jasmine, rhododendron, sea hall flower, lilac, etc., on this day, you can also go for an outing in the countryside.

In the capital, although the security may be more secure, it is definitely not as free as being a foreign official in Yangzhou. Except for holidays, there is not much opportunity to take Lin Rui and the others out on weekdays.

After changing clothes and freshening up, Lin Hai thought that not only did he not attend the banquet when Lin Rui's husband came over on the first day yesterday, but he hadn't talked to him about Lin Rui's school work since he came to the mansion.

"Lin An, go and see if Mr. Zhong is free. If so, please come over here."

"Yes, sir!"

As soon as Lin An heard Lin Hai's order, he hurried over to invite Zhong Wenning over in person.

When Zhong Wenning came over and sat down with Lin Hai, Lin Hai said politely, "I'm very sorry that I couldn't attend Mr. Zhong's banquet because of the busy business of the yamen yesterday!"

"Master Lin, you are too polite, business is the most important thing!"

"Mr. Zhong has started teaching Rui'er, what do you think about Rui'er's homework?"

"Rui'er is very smart, and she has learned all aspects of homework very well. As far as I know, she is weak in stereotyped essays. I will increase my homework in this area in the future."

Although Zhong Wenning has an uncle who passed the Jinshi examination, the situation of his family has not changed much. Although his own family has more than 30 mu of paddy fields, it is quite difficult for him and his younger brother to study. After passing the examination, in order to reduce the burden on some families, he was introduced to a son of a wealthy gentry from the same village as his teacher.I also got a conclusion from this student. I always feel that these children of rich and noble families are very spoiled, and they can't be beaten or scolded. As a husband, I will be very embarrassed.

When Yao Hanlin sent someone to tell him that Mr. Lin, the left servant of the household department, wanted to hire a teacher for his only son so that he could try it out, he was really afraid that this student would be too arrogant and not easy to teach.However, I also thought that Lin Hai was a former prostitute, and if I have difficulties in my studies in the future, I might be able to ask for advice. Besides, Lin Hai's official career is flourishing now, so if I become an official in the future, I can ask Lin Hai to help me a little.

From what I learned in the past two days, it is really easy for Mr. Lin to teach such a student. As far as Lin Rui's current level is concerned, as long as he performs normally, there is no problem at all in the college examination, and his ranking is definitely among the top few. Moreover, Lin Rui himself is very self-conscious, and he doesn't have the squeamishness that he thought he was a son of a rich family at all. At the same time, he is very humble and polite, which finally makes him feel at ease.

"It's so good, Mr. Zhong has to worry about Rui'er's homework!"

Lin Hai himself knew that Lin Rui had problems with stereotyped essays. Although Lin Rui had written one every day for the past two years, it was more or less influenced by his previous life. For factors such as the limited paragraphs, format, and word count of stereotyped essays, Still a little uncomfortable.However, there is no good way to change this kind of incompatibility all at once. I just hope that it can be changed slowly.

After Lin Hai finished talking with Zhong Wenning, he thought that today is Daiyu's birthday, so he should go to accompany this
