The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 54

Although the Holy Majesty has been particularly soft-hearted in recent years because of his old age, and he has always been very partial to the Zhen family because of Mrs. Fengsheng, but Lin Ruhai's note is full of tears. It is not so much an impeachment note as it is. This is a complaint.

Don't look at the fact that the Zhen family can control the wind and rain in the south of the Yangtze River under the banner of Mrs. Fengsheng, it seems to be incomparably beautiful.But counting it, the Lin family is no better than the Zhen family. Lin Ruhai's father who died young was once a confidant of the Holy Majesty, and he was the kind of confidant who was given extra grace to allow the Lin family princes to inherit one more generation from him.

In this way, apart from the early death of Lin Ruhai's father, in fact, Lin Ruhai also has the status of a veteran who is very favored by the Holy One, and even the Lin family can be regarded as the descendant of the veteran who is favored by the Holy Majesty.In addition, Lin Ruhai's father-in-law, Jia Daishan, has a deep relationship with the Holy Spirit, and from Jia Min's perspective, there may be some lingering affection.

They are also trustworthy courtiers, if the conflict between the two families is just a trivial matter this time, even if the Holy Majesty can favor the Zhen family again, as long as he can give the Lin family some compensation, that's all.But this time, the Zhen family almost wiped out the Lin family for their own self-interest, which is a bit unreasonable.

This is basically a situation where you don't get discovered, and once you are discovered, you will automatically form a life-and-death hatred, and basically no mediation is allowed.

Even because Lin Ruhai's complaint was just right, the Holy Majesty inevitably became a little suspicious of the Zhen family because of this matter.

Although the Holy Majesty has become soft-hearted and suspicious due to old age, he is not a confused person after all.The Zhen family's ability to cover the sky with one hand in the south of the Yangtze River is actually more due to his preference and tolerance.The Zhen family... To be honest, Zhen Yingjia is not a very capable person, and she is quite greedy. If it weren't for the Holy One to protect the Zhen family for the sake of Mrs. Feng Sheng, with Zhen Yingjia's ability, it would be impossible to call the wind and rain in the south of the Yangtze River Yes, even if you are a petty official, you will be frightened every step of the way.

But even so, this time Lin Ruhai's excerpt also surprised the Holy Majesty.

As the third in the country who comes back only once every three years, Lin Ruhai's ability to write excerpts is absolutely unquestionable. He first wrote about his own family affairs, and then used real evidence to implicate the Jia family and even the Zhen family, and then said to send people to Jinling. When I inquired in the area, I found out that the Zhen family over there was quite dissatisfied with me because of the affairs of the salt administration.

Anyway, it is enough to fully mobilize the compassion of the Holy Majesty.

The Zhen family's errands are all fat and vacancies, although the money sage can't get a clear picture of how much money they can get from them, but they always have a general understanding.But the Zhen family is quite famous in the Jiangnan area, and they are holding the fattest errands, they still have to look at what others have in their hands, and even do not hesitate to attack colleagues from the same family, almost ruining their incense offerings.

There is always a limit to everything, and the Zhen family's actions are obviously a little too much.It's not even hard to imagine that the so-called peeping through the tube can be seen. Now that the Zhen family has dared to attack such a powerful family as the Lin family, they must have done the same thing in Jiangnan on weekdays.Even if the Holy Majesty still had the intention to favor the Zhen family, just thinking about how the people in the south of the Yangtze River would doubt their own virtue because they favored such a courtier, the Holy Majesty, who has always paid attention to reputation, felt that his eyes would inevitably turn dark.

Not to mention that the Zhen family was accumulating money wantonly in a place in the south of the Yangtze River this time, while withdrawing money from the state treasury in various ways, and never thought of returning it...

Although the Holy Majesty, in order to sympathize with his courtiers and to create a good reputation for himself, has always only regarded borrowing money from the treasury as a benevolent policy to supplement officials, and has no thought of collecting debts.But even so, seeing that the accounts are really only loaned but not returned, this mood can never be called joyful.

In particular, Lin Ruhai was really a bit sluggish, he didn't mention the Zhen family's luxurious life in his booklet, so it doesn't count as suing the Zhen family.At most, Lin Ruhai just said that his family is an official in Yangzhou, and Zhen's family is located in Jinling, there is quite a distance between the two places, and it is inevitable that officials must avoid suspicion.So even though I have heard about it, I am not familiar with it on weekdays, but this time because the matter involved the Zhen family, when I sent people to Jinling to inquire about the news, I heard that the Zhen family is quite powerful in Jinling, and I didn't know it at all. Mention the issue of money and property.

For those who have divergent thinking, just follow the words in this booklet and think deeply-the Zhen family can hold a lot of money every year, but they still feel that there is something insufficient, and even for a little money I have reached out to other people's homes, but my own life has not seen luxury... Then this money will not disappear out of thin air, right? , then they can only move to the capital. After all, the grandson of the Zhen family is the eldest son of the emperor, so powerful and powerful that he can stand against the crown prince.

Among the ten or so princes that the Holy Majesty has now, the one he likes the most is naturally the prince Tu Mingxi who was brought up by him by hand, but Tu Mingyi, the eldest son of Concubine Zhen, is also one of the princes he likes very much.Now that the two of them are quite old, it is naturally impossible for the Holy Majesty not to be completely unaware of the undercurrent that has existed between them since they were young.

Although it is said that the Holy Majesty has been deceiving himself and pretending not to see the matter between his two sons, and always comforting himself with his childish temper, but after so many decades, it does not mean that he really sees everything Gone - as long as you think about it a little bit along the line of thought before, it's easy to understand the inexplicably disappearing large sum of money from the Zhen family.

You must know that the Holy One had also experienced the seizure of the heirloom once when he was young, so he naturally understood that seizing the heir apparent would require a large sum of money to support him, so it would be obvious that his ambition would be vain.

Having to face this fact is a huge blow to the Holy Majesty who has been deceiving himself.

----split line----

Impeaching Jane's Zhen family, which is in the heart of the emperor, has always been a rather risky matter, especially for officials in the Jiangnan area, even if the Lin family also has a strong foundation.After all, Mrs. Fengsheng's position in the mind of the Holy One is indeed extraordinary. As long as Mrs. Fengsheng is still alive, it is the Zhen family who really broke the sky. I am afraid that the Holy One may not do anything to the Zhen family.

Even under such circumstances, the Zhen family is truly an emperor in the south of the Yangtze River. It is undoubtedly a difficult thing to pass the impeachment of the Zhen family through the eyes of the Zhen family, let alone the normal situation. Under the circumstances, even if some warriors really narrowly escaped death and handed over the papers, they may not be able to get a reply.

If it wasn't for the time when a large amount of salt tax was coming to Beijing, Lin Ruhai would really have a hard time finding a chance to hand over the paperwork without alarming anyone.

Probably because the gods really can't understand the Zhen family's arrogance, so the weather in Yangzhou has been smooth this year, at least there is no one in the Yanzheng that is worthy of his impeachment.That's why no one paid attention to Lin Ruhai's papers. They just thought they were ordinary papers asking for safety or merit. Every official would hand over a lot of papers like this to the capital every year. It's not worth paying attention to. , when it was unexpected that Lin Ruhai would take the initiative to cause trouble, no one even thought to pay attention to these inconspicuous notes.

Even this time, even if it was the Zhen family that Lin Ruhai Jianfeng pointed directly at, because the Jia family who was also involved in this matter was afraid of offending the Zhen family, they did not dare to talk to the Zhen family in the end. He just pretended to be innocent and pretended that he didn't know anything about it.Therefore, the Zhen family naturally felt that everything was going smoothly, and they couldn't detect the turmoil in the Lin family's heart. They only thought that the Lin family did not find any traces of man-made, and they looked at ease.

Moreover, the Zhen family took advantage of Lin Ruhai's busy time with family affairs to amass a lot of money, and made a lot of moves in Jinling's salt administration, making the salt tax in Jinling this year even lower than in previous years. Some.At that time, Lin Ruhai was in a state of distress because of family affairs, and after all the salt taxes were collected together, it was not lower than in previous years, and he was not in the mood to argue with Jinling, so he simply pretended not to know—Lin Ruhai was at most later. The details of the taxes paid by all places are attached in another booklet. Compared with other places, the salt tax in Jinling this year is very shabby.

This is really a very offensive operation. In the past, even if Lin Ruhai wanted to make political achievements, he would not dare to do this to offend people. It is conceivable how miserable the Zhen family made him.

And because the Zhen family was busy taking advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, it was difficult for them to be distracted and pay too much attention to the small actions of the Lin family in Yangzhou. Naturally, they did not notice Lin Ruhai's small actions.

And it just so happened that the Holy Majesty suppressed Lin Ruhai's report for some reason, except for rewarding an extra royal doctor to the Lin family, he didn't do anything to deal with it, as if this matter had really passed away without a sound. Same.Even when Yangzhou finally got the news, at most they thought it was because Lin Ruhai said his grievances when he asked for credit. Reported.

Even if no one knows about it, the Holy One really cares about this matter.

At least he noticed that Xue Pan, who was young, was staring at the letter in his hand in bewilderment. As for the letter, it naturally came from the capital, or in other words - the legendary secret decree.
