Daiyu reads novels every day

"Ruhai," Emperor Jing Long called Lin Ruhai's name affectionately, "don't be nervous, I summoned you here just to ask for some advice."

Lin Ruhai lay down on the ground, not daring to raise his head to offend Tianyan. Hearing the emperor's calm voice, he knew that His Royal Highness probably did not cause the trouble, so he calmed down a little, and said cautiously: "Please speak, Your Majesty, I know everything."

Emperor Jinglong didn't mention the open guns and dark arrows in Dongnuan Pavilion just now, but said: "Your father was also a inspector of salt and censor. Although you were young at that time, you always knew something. Let me ask you—" The words were all spoken very gently, like gossip, and then suddenly the voice changed, and the tone was calm, showing the majesty of the emperor, "Do you have any experience in salt affairs?"

Lin Ruhai bowed his head again and said, "Back to the emperor, such a big subject as salt affairs..."

After all, he is an official.

Since His Royal Highness the Seventeenth Prince did not cause trouble, and the crown prince, fifth prince, and Lord Tian were all there, and there was an elder prince kneeling outside, and now the emperor asked the word "salt administration"—it was probably the same as the one that has caused a lot of trouble recently. It is related to the corruption case of the patrol salt censor.In this matter, no matter which party is offended, it is a word of "death".

Emperor Jinglong didn't allow his courtiers to look forward and backward, and said: "Just say it." Although he was smiling, it was an order.

Lin Ruhai closed his eyes, and said deliberatively: "Back to the emperor, although the salt government is a tax collector, it is concerned with the national economy and the people's livelihood. It has been wronged and wronged for many years, and it is hard to escape the emperor's insight..."

Yongchen has already stood next to the Taishi chair where the prince is sitting.

Emperor Jinglong was annoyed at him for trespassing, and forbade the eunuch to move his seat, in disguise, asking him to "stand as a punishment".

Yongchen didn't have the slightest awareness of being punished to stand, one arm rested on the prince's brother's leg, the palm was stretched horizontally just enough to support the chin, and the head was slightly tilted - this is really a good posture for watching a "show".

Listening to Lin Ruhai's well-organized performance, Yong Chen secretly laughed: I usually see Master Lin's serious and serious side in class, but he cherishes his words like gold after class; it turns out that when the critical moment comes, Master Lin can also open his mouth like a lotus flower—— This first puts a high hat on the father of "It is impossible to escape the emperor's insights".

He watched with gusto, but Lin Ruhai's forehead under his official cap was covered with cold sweat. In front of the emperor, the crown prince, and the five princes, talking about the salt policy related to the national system was like walking a tightrope on a cliff, a matter of life and death. Son.

Emperor Jing Long sat cross-legged on the couch, listening intently, and finally nodded his head slightly.

After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, before Emperor Jing Long could speak, Tian Liyi smiled and said: "Master Lin said that there are problems, but the solution he mentioned is still impatient. The government of salt is the lifeblood of the country. A big country is like cooking a small dish, so there is no rush."

Emperor Jinglong smiled and said: "He said very well. He is no better than you. I only need him to manage one of the things well. How can I ask him to be as mature as you to seek the country. I took it, exactly It's his spirit."

A "spirit" can exaggerate the so-called "impatience" as an advantage.

Tian Liyi smiled and said: "After all, the emperor will judge people. It is pedantic for me to judge myself and others. Master Lin's views on Yanzheng are quite rare. I congratulate the emperor for being a good talent!" He has been in the center of power for half his life. It is a well-trained skill to see the wind and make the rudder.

The fifth prince, Yong Dan, gave him winks while wiping his neck, but Tian Liyi just couldn't see it.

Prince Yongzhan was still drinking tea with his head bowed, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

Emperor Jing Long laughed, walked down and stretched his arms.

Lin Ruhai saw the Son of Heaven walking up and down in front of his eyes in a pair of golden sandals, obedient and listening to the sound. During the harmony between Emperor Jing Long and Tian Liyi, he vaguely understood something; his whole body was tense with anticipation and nervousness.

"Ruhai, the salt government has so many disadvantages. Let me ask you, do you dare to go to the Lianghuai River and become a salt censor?"

There are only four inspectors in this dynasty, one each from Lianghuai, Liangzhe, Changlu, and Hedong.

Among them, the two Huaihe Rivers are still the most important, and one area can cover half of the country.

Promoted from the editor of the Hanlin Academy to the third-rank Xunyan Yushi, this is a huge promotion and a great future!

Lin Ruhai bowed his head again, and shouted excitedly: "I have received the favor of the emperor, and I am willing to go to Lianghuai, manage the salt administration, and repay the favor of the emperor!"

Seeing that the matter has been settled, Yong Chen answered with a smile on the side, "I will go through fire and water."

Emperor Jinglong was walking up to him, seeing that he was taking the words from the play indiscriminately, so he gave him a light kick on the buttocks, and said with a smile: "You are the only macaque who can talk." And said: "You You used to have such a good master, but you just didn’t know how to work hard. If you can’t find a good master in the future, you should regret it.”

Yong Chen was still grinning, "Father has a lot of talents under his command. If Master Lin is gone, Master Sen will come here."

"Master Sen?" Emperor Jing Long frowned.

"Master Lin has two pieces of wood, so he can manage the salt administration of the two Huaihe Rivers; Master Sen has one more piece of wood, so he can manage the salt administration of the Sanhuai River?" Yong Chen was afraid of being kicked again. He hid on the other side of the prince's brother.

Emperor Jing Long was amused by him, and scolded: "I don't know how to learn, but I still want to show my eyes. Get out." As he said this, his eyes were full of smiles.

Yong Chen smiled and said: "My son obeys orders." But he said again: "Father, my son has one more request."

Lin Ruhai still lowered his head, not daring to look, but he was listening, and worried about the student again.Although he had seen the seventeenth prince talking "nonsense" to the emperor "you come and go" in the upper study room, but it was really unheard of to this extent.

"Say." Emperor Jing Long said concisely.

"My son heard from my concubine last night that Concubine Zhen had an autumn cough..."

Concubine Zhen was originally a court lady by Emperor Jinglong's side, and the birth mother of the eldest prince Yongqing.

Yong Chen said something seriously, and immediately turned into a smile, saying: "The autumn wind outside is terribly cold, and elder brother has been kneeling for half an hour now. Father, look, when your son is gone, do you call elder brother to join us?" roll?"

Emperor Jing Long waved his hand and scolded with a smile: "Get lost. You guys, big and small, get lost."

Yongchen sang a song and went out bouncing around.

The smile on Emperor Jinglong's face faded, looking around at the room that was silent because of Yong Chen's departure, he said solemnly: "I'll leave you guys for dinner today, and go over the Lianghuai Salt Affairs carefully..."

***&

Lin House.

"Go and investigate again, what's the matter?" Jia Min grabbed the handkerchief, fidgeting, and ordered the woman, "Why did you suddenly get summoned by the emperor? The servant and the coachman who picked up the master were so confused. I can’t understand the words!”

The big maid beside Jia Min persuaded: "Ma'am, please be more considerate. You think, the reason for the emperor's questioning is something ordinary people can find out. The master is an upright official, auspicious and auspicious, it may be a good thing."

That's the case, but how can you really rest assured.

Jia Min stroked her chest, feeling flustered, and her face was frighteningly pale.

She wanted to send someone to her mother's house to inquire, but she was afraid that Mother Jia would also be worried, and besides, the two older brothers in the family were not happy in court, so where else could there be?Just when I had no idea, I saw the nanny coming over with Daiyu in her arms.

This was called by the maid next to Jia Min, so that Jia Min could be distracted.

Seeing her daughter being carried over, Jia Min involuntarily stretched out her arms to receive her daughter with a beautiful little face half exposed in the festive red swaddle.

The nanny smiled and said: "Miss woke up, just looking around with a pair of black and angry eyes, the maidservant knew that Miss must be looking for Madam."

Jia Min looked at her daughter's clear eyes, saw her looking at her without blinking, her heart was soft, she gently shook her in her arms, and said: "Although you nursed her, I am her mother." , Blood is thicker than water, isn't it true at all?"

She teased Daiyu, put her face on her daughter's little face, and said in a low voice: "My dear daughter, I wish your father a safe return..."

Just when Jia Min was at his wit's end, scratching his heart with all kinds of claws, he heard the maid outside happily say: "Ma'am, Fu'er beside the master is back!"

Jia Min hurriedly said, "Let him go outside."

Fu'er knelt on the ground and said with a smile, "Madam is overjoyed!"

Jia Min handed Daiyu into the hands of the nanny, and seeing him look happy, he felt relieved, his legs softened, and he sat down on the chair.She said anxiously: "What's going on!"

Fu'er laughed and said: "I don't know what's going on, I just know it's a good thing. I can't go anywhere else, I can only wait for news in the Imperial Academy. At this time, all the adults in the Imperial Academy will leave Yes. The servant received the letter from home, knowing that Madam is anxious, but there is no place to ask for news, just when I was anxious to wipe my neck..."

The servant girl scolded: "Who cares if you wipe your neck or not! You pick the important ones and say it!"

"Yes, yes, this is the most important thing, slave..." Fu'er hurriedly said, "Ma'am, you will never guess which letter came from—" He didn't dare to be fooled, and immediately continued: "It's actually It is His Royal Highness the Seventeenth Prince!"

Jia Min let out an "Aiyo" and hurriedly asked, "What did Your Highness say?"

"Your Highness said, your master is going to be promoted, and the decree hasn't been issued yet, so he can't go into details. He just told the servant in vain, and asked the servant to come back and tell the wife, so that the wife should not worry about it." Fu'er didn't hesitate at all, Retelling the words of the seventeenth prince, "He also said that when the master takes office and leaves Beijing, he will come to see the master off in person, and then come to see his wife and miss; he said that since the day of the meeting on his birthday, he has always missed this little sister. "

When he said a word, Jia Min said "Amitabha Buddha" on his lips.

"Your Highness also said that maybe the master can go back to his ancestral home to have a look." Fu'er tilted her head and thought about it again, but it seemed to be gone.

It is said that "the decree has not been issued, so it is difficult to elaborate", but His Royal Highness the Seventeenth Prince explained in a few simple words what she was most likely to worry about—it was a promotion, not a disaster; Take office; the place to go is probably in the Suzhou area.

Jia Min put his heart down, thought about it, and said, "Your Highness is too considerate, to go to the Hanlin Academy in person..."

"Your servant also said the same thing." Fu'er laughed and said, "His Seventeenth Highness said that he was afraid that others would not be clear about what he said. If there were any omissions, it would be his fault to frighten Madam."

Jia Min was deeply moved, and thought, the master taught His Highness the Seventeenth Highness for a year, it was really a blessing from heaven.
