[Red Mansion] Reborn Lin Ruhai

When Lin Ruhai first arrived in the capital, due to his haste, outsiders did not know about it.However, the dignitaries in Beijing generally lived near Miyagi, so the distance was not far away.There were also quite a few people who heard about Lin's mansion reorganizing the house, so they couldn't help being distracted, among them was Jia's mansion.It turned out that when Jia Lian passed by here that day, he couldn't help being curious to see the Lin family carrying flowers and plants.I thought to myself: Uncle Lin is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and he hasn't returned for ten years. Why did he buy flowers and plants in the house again? Could it be that he is going back to Beijing?

Thinking of this, Jia Lian asked the person who carried it, but Fang liked to ignore it, and he didn't find out the reason. It was boring, so he had to go back.But he kept this matter in his heart, and told his wife Wang Xifeng when he went back, and Wang Xifeng went back to Jiamu when he turned around.

Jia's mother had a long experience in the world, but she thought more about them than they did. She secretly thought that although his son-in-law was not in the capital in recent years, he was quite trusted by the emperor, and this could be seen from the fact that he was appointed as the Jiangnan Salt Administrator.Salt affairs are an important tax for the imperial court, and those who are not trusted by the Holy Majesty cannot touch it.

And Lin Ruhai was ordered to supervise the Jiangnan Salt Administration, and was in charge of the source of the country's tax revenue.That's the fat vacancy among the fat vacancies. I don't know how many people are jealous of the position?It is inevitable that some villains will pick out some faults and try to pull Lin Ruhai off his horse.But the papers of impeachment disappeared as soon as they were sent to the palace. On the contrary, those who were impeached would either be demoted or dismissed in a short time. So who is the protector in the palace?

Now that the Lin family is tidying up the house, it must be said that they have received hints from the Holy Majesty, and they are afraid that they will return to Beijing soon.Thinking of this, Jia's mother became very angry, and said to herself: Lin Ruhai is also my uncle, if he gets the favor, his family will be able to get some glory.Kuang Lin Ruhai was born in the past year and only had one daughter, Daiyu. After all, Daiyu was also his granddaughter, so Lin Ruhai had to help out her family when she was brought up in the mansion.It's much better than him making a fortune alone in Jiangnan.

Thinking of this, Jia's mother sent people to pay attention to the movements of Lin's mansion every day, until that day when the investigators reported that they saw dozens of horses and horses entering the Lin's mansion in a luxurious carriage, Jia's mother guessed that it was Lin Ruhai who returned. It's Beijing, and I'm about to send Jia Lian to visit.Unexpectedly, before it was implemented, a sensational event happened in the capital.

In the early morning, the emperor suddenly summoned Lin Ruhai to the palace, and formally appointed him as Minister of the Ministry of Officials in front of all the ministers, adding the title of young teacher.Lin Ruhai declined, but the emperor insisted on refusing.

The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the appointment and removal, examinations, promotions, transfers, and honors of officials across the country.Although it is still the second grade, it is at the same level as Lin Ruhai's original position.But it is clear at a glance which is more important when one is in the locality and the other is in the court.The other young teacher is even more different, as one of the three orphans, from the first rank, responsible for assisting the emperor in handling important state affairs and government affairs, his position is the most important.Although it became a false title for a time, it would be quite different if the person he appointed was respected by the emperor.

When the emperor made this decree, all the ministers couldn't help being dumbfounded: it's strange that Lin Ruhai was able to serve as Yanzheng for several years, and I don't think the Holy Majesty would trust him so much!I heard that Lin Ruhai was the emperor's confidant when he was in the East Palace in the early years. I don't want to say goodbye for ten years, but the grace is still so strong, even if others are envious, I can't envy him!

After the morning court, as soon as Lin Ruhai walked out of the hall, all the officials surrounded him, congratulatory and flattering.Lin Ruhai couldn't help it, so he had no choice but to deal with it, but when he couldn't get away, he heard a sharp voice: "My lords, please go back!"

When all the ministers saw that Chen Zhong had spoken, they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed their heads, calling him "Neixiang".After Chen Zhong dismissed everyone, he leaned into Lin Ruhai's ear and whispered: "Master Lin, Long Live is here to invite you!"

Lin Ruhai frowned, knowing that if he didn't go today, he might not be able to give up, so he said, "Let the internal minister lead the way!"

Chen Zhong hurriedly led the way, his attitude was not the arrogance he had when facing the ministers just now, but he was extremely humble, he led Lin Ruhai all the way to the hall, said "Long live Lord is waiting in the warm pavilion", and then retreated.Lin Ruhai was hesitating whether to go in, Xiao Zhelin came out and pulled him over: "Ruhai, have you missed me these days?"

Lin Ruhai quickly pushed him away, and said angrily: "What are you crazy about, didn't you say that you are not allowed to touch your feet?"

Xiao Zhelin smiled: "If I don't do anything, you're afraid you won't come in! I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I've sent everyone out, and Chen Zhong is guarding outside to ensure that no one else can come in. !"

Lin Ruhai snorted coldly: "Can you do whatever you want without anyone? In vain you have read so many sage books, don't you even know 'a gentleman should be cautious'?"

Xiao Zhelin let out a muffled laugh: "A sage should also talk about human relations and nature! If everyone is cautious about independence, how will they survive?"

"You!" Lin Ruhai was so angry that his face turned purple, and it took him a long time to choke out a sentence: "You are arguing!"

Seeing him like this, Xiao Zhelin knew that he was really angry. He hurriedly pulled Lin Ruhai down on the couch and sat down, and handed him a cup of tea with a smile: "Okay, I was wrong, so I won't be like this in the future!" Seeing that Lin Ruhai still didn't Responding, he added: "I called you here today because I have a business to do."

Lin Ruhai snorted coldly: "What business can you have?"

Xiao Zhelin said: "Is the matter of the flood still not a serious matter?"

Lin Ruhai was startled, and after a long pause, he said, "You mean the flood in the Jiangzuo area in three months' time?" In the last life, it was this year. Since June, there has been continuous heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River, intermittently for more than two months.In August, there was a flood, which was so fierce that the dikes and dams were almost completely washed away, and the flood ravaged the fields, which was extremely tragic.At that time, he was an official in Yangzhou, but he saw it with his own eyes, a flood, and I don't know how many people's lives were hurt.Thinking about it so far, I still have lingering fears.

Xiao Zhelin nodded and said: "It was that time, now that we know in advance, we must be prepared."

Lin Ruhai sighed: "That should be the case. If you don't tell me, I almost forgot such a big thing!" This period of time has been chaotic, and just after recuperating his daughter's body, his disappearance happened. No time to think about these things.

Xiao Zhelin: "Now that you are Minister of the Ministry of Officials, you have to work hard to investigate and select some talented people to handle this matter. This matter is of great importance, and if you are not careful, tens of thousands of people will die. Those silverfish in the middle school are bad! It just so happens that this year’s imperial examination is about to start, when the time comes, you should inspect those students carefully, and keep any good ones for appointment! They have just entered the officialdom, and they have not yet been infected with those bad habits. With the ambition to serve the country, it is more willing to contribute than those old fritters."

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he sat upright and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best!"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Xiao Zhelin leaned forward and said, "Ru Hai still remembers what I said a few days ago? Now that something has gone wrong again, how should I punish you?"

Lin Ruhai suddenly remembered what happened that day, and couldn't help but blush, and wanted to reach out to hit him in anger, not wanting to be held by Xiao Zhelin, so he pressed down on him.He was originally a frail scholar, but the other party had practiced martial arts, and he couldn't struggle, so someone took advantage of him again.

At this moment, Lin Ruhai drank tea and rinsed his mouth, while staring at someone who was laughing.The more I thought about it, the more irritable I became, so I poured the leftover tea all over, really angry!

He was born in a noble family, although he was not as pampered as Jia Baoyu in his previous life, he grew up under the expectations of his parents and elders.Later, he became more ambitious and high-spirited at a young age, and all he met were modest gentlemen. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and they are always polite when they get along with each other, and there is never any place where the rules are exceeded.How could he ever meet such a rascal, and he didn't know how to get rid of it!

Xiao Zhelin wiped the tea off his face, but he was not annoyed, instead he smiled and joked: "Ruhai, this tea only gets a few taels a year, and others can't eat it even if they want it? If you don't like it, don't waste it, it's better Give it to me, I don't think it's your leftovers."

Lin Ruhai snorted coldly and walked out, Xiao Zhelin knew that he couldn't keep him today, so he had to.

Ever since the imperial decree was issued in the court, Lin Ruhai has suddenly become a very popular figure.A few days ago, there was a lot of traffic in front of the empty mansion, and the congratulatory and gift-giving came and went unknowingly.Most of the officials, Lin Ruhai, had never heard of it, so they had to choose some important receptions.For the rest, the stewards of the mansion took gifts and recorded them in the book for future reference.
