Red Mansions Dressed Into the Forest

If it weren't for the health-preserving recipe at hand, it would be hard to explain why King Yizhong was able to stop him at the gate of the yamen.

Well, if it wasn't for this recipe, Lin Hai would not have had this opportunity consciously: Seeing that a thunderstorm was about to hit, the two princes would come to the door together to explain and remind them, and the next day they could meet King Yizhong, who had always been of aloof status... Take the initiative to find the door.

Anyway, his prescription was filed in front of the Holy One through the princes... The princes have not yet embraced the baby, and they will usher in a real wave of love and suspicion when they hold the baby one after another.

But let’s get over this hurdle now.Lin Hai also wanted to find a good place to talk with King Yizhong.

There were people coming and going outside the yamen of the household department, and the two walked out of the palace gate with their servants behind them. King Yizhong asked, "It was agreed to find me yesterday, why didn't you say anything? Today..." He looked at Lin Hai , "It seems that you really want something from me. You didn't like to give me a good face before."

Isn't that because you're too broad-minded and moody?

Only the two of them face to face, Lin Hai also dared to say, "Who doesn't know that you are so famous in the capital? If I give a good face or not, the result is the same. Why should I make myself feel uncomfortable?"

As soon as this remark came out, Lin Hai's long follower looked confused again.

The well-informed and well-informed confidants of King Yizhong couldn't help but look sideways.

King Yizhong clapped his hands with a "slap", "That's right, I feel awkward seeing you and me pretending to be." Then he whispered, "I used to have evil fire at any time, but now it seems a bit like a world away. You Fang Zi is too wonderful."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and patted Lin Hai's shoulder, "I'll answer every question today, and I've told you that I treat you as my own."

Lin Hai had nothing to say: As expected of the ex-prince, a few casual words can break your heart when you have a normal temper.

He sent someone home to report the news, and then followed King Yizhong to find a place to drink tea.

The places that King Yizhong frequents are actually quite limited, and there are quite a few confidantes of King Yizhong in that place—after all, he is the eldest son of the Supreme Emperor who has loved him for most of his life. King Yizhong also has enough means, at least the dialogue between him and Lin Hai may not be able to find out the details even if it is the Holy One.

But they said that the two found a private room to sit down, and took a few sips of tea to moisten their throats and warm their bodies... It was already quite cold in the capital in late autumn and early winter.

Today is very sunny, so the boxes with large windows facing the sun are also very bright.The autumn wind blew outside the window, and the branches and fallen leaves rustled lightly on the edge of the window. King Yizhong looked out the window and smiled, "It's a different kind of fun."

Anyway, Lin Hai understood: King Yizhong is in a very good mood today.

Before he could figure out how to speak, King Yizhong said first, "It's a long story. The emperor father was able to ascend the throne, thanks to the great help of King Suduan. Let's do it." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and smiled slightly, "But I can't get along with King Suduan. I always find his way of helping each other... very interesting."

King Suduan is the same mother and brother of the Supreme Emperor and the uncle of King Yizhong.When King Yizhong talked about him, he just called him by title, and he really deserved the phrase "I can't get along".

Lin Hai thought to himself again: It's not just that they don't get along.

King Yizhong dared to speak more than Lin Hai. He seemed to have heard Lin Hai's inner voice, "It's too polite if we don't get along. King Suduan and I are almost enemies. The reason why we say that we are similar is that we can't stab each other with a knife after all. .” Then he briefly explained the ins and outs of this.

In short, King Suduan paid a large sum of money for the emperor's ascension to the throne; before and after the emperor's ascension to the throne, King Suduan also expressed his intentions, but when the emperor and the emperor took over the six cabinet departments, they found that King Suduan's money had come from Where did it come from.

King Suduan didn't embezzle much, but embezzled, that is, tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.But the embezzled money cost the Supreme Emperor and the Holy Majesty a lot of money. They were like swallowing flies, and they didn't say anything about their suffering.

Lin Hai became curious again after hearing this, "The Supreme Emperor?" The Holy Majesty has not been on the throne for a short time, but the Supreme Emperor let go, and the Holy Majesty has not been in power for a long time.

As for the Emperor Taishang who has been on the throne for almost 30 years, can he be unaware of what King Suduan does?

"Why don't you know?" King Yizhong explained, "King Suduan was in charge of the internal treasury, household department, salt administration, water transportation, and northwest pay and silver at that time. Everyone has debts. Compared with him, he doesn't owe much, and most of it is spent on the father. What can the father say? The younger brother who has always supported him with all his strength? He just poached the corner of the father. If you have made yourself fat, your father still has to remember his kindness. It’s a good thing,” King Yizhong sneered, “There will be no shortage of people to follow suit in the future.”

This tone... King Yizhong clearly has resentment towards the Supreme Emperor.

Presumably there were many disagreements between father and son for King Suduan.

However, no matter how much filial piety is emphasized in this era, it is not enough to say that father and son are not speculative, and you can label your son as unfilial.The reason why King Yizhong was abolished, Taishanghuang also said that his health was not right.

From Lin Hai, an outsider's point of view, the Supreme Emperor might still care about his eldest son, and even though he issued an order to confine him, he actually let his son roam around the capital?

Maybe in my heart, my son's view of King Suduan is wrong.The Taishanghuang recognized his younger brother's contribution to Conglong at the beginning, so how could he slap himself in the face later, because of this money, he will deal with King Suduan.

Even the Supreme Emperor failed to clean up his younger brother, and it was even more difficult to deal with the Holy Majesty.

King Yizhong was full of gloating, and the sarcasm was beyond words, "My brother can't do anything, so what can I do if I change my nephew? Now that the emperor is in power, King Suduan is even more courageous. He used to have scruples and awe, but now he sees a If you want a large sum of money, you can swallow it. It is not easy for him to think about it. There is a large group of Yingyingyanyan in the back house, and these Yingyingyanyans have given birth to him. If you want to support this big family, you can only rely on him. How can the salary industry survive?"

Lin Hai didn't answer...he couldn't answer the conversation either.He just casually patted King Yizhong on the shoulder... Then he recalled, this is not the modern age, it seems inappropriate for me to pat him... But I did it all, so we are not afraid.

King Yizhong didn't have any special reaction. He raised his head and reminded with a smile, "King Suduan and King Zhongshun have a very good relationship. Your first father-in-law is just as incompatible with King Zhongshun."

Lin Hai's first father-in-law, Jia Daishan, and King Zhongshun are political enemies.After Jia Daishan's death, King Zhongshun stared at Rongfu for a long time.

Speaking of the Rong Mansion, Lin Hai also had something to say, "The Qiu family is staring at them, and the family only wants to rely on girls to support the scene. I can't persuade you, so let it be."

Yesterday Wang Chan told about "she hooked the Ninth Prince's concubine, and Mrs. Wang was immediately moved".

Because the concubine Rongfu was granted the sweetness in Yuanchun, now the lords and wives of Rongfu only want to send their daughters to high schools to win wealth for themselves, but they never think about teaching their children and grandchildren to make progress.

King Yizhong said: "It's good that you understand clearly."

Lin Hai's father left early, and his father-in-law Jia Daishan not only admired him very much, but also took care of Lin Hai a lot at the beginning of his official career.

If not, after Jia Daishan passed away, Lin Hai would not have had frequent contact with his uncle for the sake of his father-in-law.

But now Lin Hai can only make sure that he can save face: there are some things that King Yizhong doesn't need to say, Lin Hai can figure it out by himself.

For example, King Suduan stood behind the big case of the household department, but neither the Supreme Emperor nor the Holy One could do anything about this black hand behind the scenes for the time being.

Then it is worth pondering that Wang Ziteng took the lead to expose this matter: Obviously Wang Ziteng and King Suduan are not in the same school.

The Minister of the Household Department and the two servants are the Holy One's own people, and in the end they allowed King Suduan to make a fortune under their noses. Embarrassed and very angry.

So the sage wanted to mention Wang Ziteng, just to make him the best "early bird".It is said that Wang Ziteng dared to bite and fight anyone for the sake of his career, including King Suduan.

After all, in Wang Ziteng's view, the Supreme Emperor is old, and King Suduan will not have a few years to live.Once King Suduan died, Sheng Shangqiu had less worries about settling accounts.

Well, King Suduan has a rich family background.

After bidding farewell to King Yizhong, Lin Hai sat in the carriage with his eyes closed and rested, feeling filled with emotion.

In other words, in modern terms, hats, bills and guns~guns~have to be held in one's own hands in order to keep one's word.Otherwise, what's the point of being the emperor if he is restrained everywhere.

So far, Bing~Quan~Holy Majesty is not too tight, but with 20 forbidden soldiers in hand, the Holy Majesty is worthwhile.There are too many hills on the hat side, and the Holy Majesty was not able to occupy the upper peak for a while, but he immediately took a shot to hold the tickets... But judging from the big case of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Holy Majesty is a bit wishful thinking.

So the Holy One threw the most responsible and softest persimmon, the right servant of the former household department, into the prison, and then put Lin Hai~an~inserted~ into it.

Lin Hai was overjoyed on the way home: Fortunately, the Holy Majesty didn't let him be the first bird, but being a firefighter... may not be so happy.

If you think about it carefully, this has something to do with his non-corruption and corruption in the salt administration.

He follows the rules for everything in Yangzhou, he doesn't take too much, and the people below can't stretch out their hands randomly.

But the Yanzheng, even if they take money according to the old rules, it is enough to live well.So the Holy One has always been able to get a stable tax bank from the Yanzheng.Just for this point, the Holy One didn't mean to sacrifice Lin Hai first.

In fact, the choice of the Holy Majesty is also logical: a practical official who can concentrate on general affairs, and a noble queen who is good at speculation and has a big appetite, which one to choose?

The Wang family's greed is also a cliché, and it can be seen from Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng who were brought up by his family.

Lin Hai pinched his temples, stepped off the carriage, and saw his wife and daughter standing a few steps away to welcome him.

Although Lin Hai had a lot of worries after he came out from King Yizhong, he was actually in a good mood: many questions were answered after drinking tea this time.

Daiyu still stepped forward, holding Lin Hai's arm, "You seem very happy."

Lin Haikong held his daughter-in-law with his free hand, "Your little face is also bright red."

Wang Chan also approached with a smile, and said, "Daiyu's little sisters are here to visit."

Rong Mansion and Lin Mansion are too close, so close that the post was posted the day before, and the sisters came to get together the next day, and they left in the evening and returned home just in time for dinner.

Wang Chan said again: "Baoyu?" She looked at Daiyu, "The child with Lingyu is also here. By the way, the little girls were sent by the second son of Lian of Rongfu."

It's okay for Baoyu to come over. His wife is watching.Besides, it was not only Baoyu who came, but also Jia Lian.

Although Lin Hai looked down on the men in the Rong Mansion, he still supported the girls, especially Tanchun, Baochai and Xiangyun, who were with Daiyu. Talent is beyond doubt.

But when a family of three walked into the house, Wang Chan suddenly asked, "From King Yizhong...you know everything?"

Lin Hai replied: "I know almost everything. What? Do you have anything to add?"

Wang Chan smiled, "King Suduan sent you a post."
