The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 271 Lin Ruhai Incident

The atmosphere in the capital became dull.

Because the Supreme Emperor is ill.

True or false, serious or not.

All kinds of gossip are flying all over the sky, but no one can figure out the specific news, because even the emperor in the palace can't figure it out.

Fidgeting in the hall, laughing for a while, holding back for a while, trying to express sadness on his face.

"Can you inquire about Father's condition?"

Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of Liugongdu, knew the emperor's intentions, and he tried his best to find out.

However, the concubine has controlled the harem for many years, and has long since taken the Supreme Emperor to take care of it herself, and has her confidant, the old eunuch Zhou, working for her.

Not a single word of wind could come out.

Dai Quan, supervisor of ceremonies, took the Supreme Emperor's message and connected with the cabinet. In this way, although the Supreme Emperor did not show up, he still controlled the government.

One day, two days, half a month.

After going on like this, no one could bear it anymore, and the guessing in their hearts became more and more suspicious.

Some people even think that the Supreme Emperor is actually dead.

"Xia Shouzhong, you must try your best to find out about this matter."

Eunuch Xia is the emperor's confidant and knows how important this matter is.

"I see that Qiu Shi'an's attitude is a bit wavering, shall I try it out?"

Qiu Shi'an is also a person close to the Supreme Emperor. He is the eunuch of the prime minister's inner court and has a lot of power.

The emperor hesitated at Xia Shouzhong's proposal.

He was worried that Qiu Shi'an would tell the Supreme Emperor about his spying on the Supreme Emperor.

Xia Shouzhong saw it.

He has served the emperor for many years and knows the emperor's temperament very well, so he is the least willing to take responsibility.

As long as the Supreme Emperor is held accountable, the emperor always pushes it to the people below.

So Xia Shouzhong didn't want to come forward to inquire.

But in order to block the mouth of the emperor.

If everyone was wrong, the Supreme Emperor hid himself to wait and see the situation, and those who danced the most would definitely have no good fruit to eat.

This is also the means by which Xia Shouzhong can survive till now.

The emperor did not agree.

Such and such.

After more than half a month, the emperor knew nothing about the Taishanghuang's affairs. Even though the Taishanghuang hadn't shown up yet, the affairs of the court were still as usual.

Although King Zhongshun was away from home, his attention to Beijing had never diminished. On the contrary, because he left Beijing, he left many cronies in the capital.

He learned of the abnormality of the Supreme Emperor very early.

Originally thought that the emperor would get the moon first when he was in the palace near the water, and he would always get the news before the people outside.

But waiting left and right, couldn't help sending people to urge the emperor several times, but in the end no news was found, and there was no change in the court affairs.

Angry and helpless inside.

In the end, he put aside his affairs and returned to Beijing in private.

"Why is uncle back?"

The emperor was shocked.

King Zhongshun couldn't be more angry after all.

"The emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry, I'll be right back."

Hearing his uncle's accusation, the emperor also became embarrassed.

Xia Shouzhong laughed.

"The emperor is worried that it is the emperor's trick, so not to act rashly is also a safe strategy."

"fart."

King Zhongshun didn't want to criticize the emperor too much, and when he heard Xia Shouzhong came out, he scolded him, but he also indirectly scolded the emperor angrily.

He has been running around for his own nephew all these years, so he still has some confidence.

The emperor really didn't take it seriously and was not unhappy.

The power in his hands now is all accumulated by his own uncle, without his uncle, he is nothing.

"Regardless of whether the Supreme Emperor is really sick or not, we must say that he is really sick."

King Zhongshun stared at the emperor closely.

The young emperor felt uncomfortable being watched by King Zhongshun, so he could only try his best to smile.

King Zhongshun knew his nephew very well.

I have been timid since childhood.

Otherwise, even if the branch is far away, it will not be valued by the Supreme Emperor.

To put it bluntly.

Very poor qualifications.

"I will do whatever my uncle says."

King Zhongshun looked at Xia Shouzhong again.

"Don't hide. Others don't understand you, and I don't understand you? This matter is too important. No matter what method you use, you must find out."

Xia Shouzhong was pointed out by King Zhongshun, and he quickly agreed and dared not refuse.

"There must be some noise in the court. We can't let those people sit comfortably and wait for the dust to settle. How can there be such a good thing."

Zhongshun Wanglu had long thought of a countermeasure.

Pick an important person with a weak background to come out to make an example to others.

It can test the Supreme Emperor, but also allow the court to see the situation clearly, forcing them to end their bets as soon as possible.

"Lin Ruhai."

King Zhongshun pointed out the name.

He needs money.

Winning forces in the army is nothing more than promotion or money.

The way to get promoted is extremely difficult for him.

Then make a lot of money.

Uncountable amounts of money are spent on generals every year, and these generals support their servants.

There is no tax from the imperial court, and the amount of money he earns every year is not enough to fill in only by relying on his smuggling business.

These military sects already had a huge appetite, and knowing that he needed their support, they were never polite about money.

In the past two years, Jinzhou has competed in the ginseng and fur trade, suppressing the price in the mainland market, making it even more difficult for him to make ends meet.

Lin Ruhai's family was in decline, relying on him being selected as Tanhua, he was promoted by the Supreme Emperor, from the doctor of Lantai Temple to the inspector of salt in Yangzhou.

In such a fat and oily place, King Zhongshun didn't believe that Lin Ruhai didn't make any money.

You can force court officials to stand in line, and you can raid your home to get money.

Kill two birds with one stone.

The Supreme Emperor is sick, and he is sick even if he is not sick.

It's time for court officials to recognize the situation.

Although the emperor is timid.

But he has a reputation, and this is his greatest advantage.

Although he is stupid, the people below are not.

Not to mention King Zhongshun, Liu Yiru and Shi Ding are all people who can do things.

Therefore, King Zhongshun's strategy hit it off.

Shi Ding knows the current situation, King Zhongshun also knows the relationship between Shi Ding and Jia's house, and Lin Ruhai is the uncle of Jia's house.

The struggle for imperial power has reached such a situation, Shi Ding can't care about Lin Ruhai anymore.

First, the imperial censor impeached the patrol salt censor for corruption and so on.

Before Lin Ruhai could argue, the imperial court sent the Jinyi Army to Yangzhou to arrest and check.

This is against the rules.

However, Liu Yiru promoted it in the cabinet, and the court officials of all parties knew the situation and did not dare to speak out. Therefore, the arrest of officials by the Jinyi Army did not cause any disturbance.

Great Zhou also had Jinyi Army.

In the dream of Red Mansions, the Jia's mansion was searched, and it was the Jinyi Army that was dispatched.

Inherited from Ming Dynasty.

However, the name has changed a bit, it is not called Jinyiwei, it is called Jinyijun, and the Yamen is not called Nanbei Town Fusi.

It was Jinyi Mansion.

But the same thing is that he is still the emperor's minion.

Jinyi Army can be mobilized by the emperor.

It can be seen that some officials of the Jinyi Mansion chose to join the emperor.

The more this is the case, the more the court officials dare not resist.

This is a struggle for imperial power, not a struggle between courts, they can see it clearly.

The emperor didn't care about Liaodong's military affairs and even the Jinzhou war, let alone King Zhongshun.

As for the Supreme Emperor where the concubine was, there has been no movement.

Xungui did not expect that civil servants would indulge the Jinyi Army. It was a century-old anecdote that he was caught off guard for a while, and it was also because Lin Ruhai did not have a deep relationship with Xungui.

Jia Zheng was out of town, Jia Amnesty had a deep relationship with the military, and Jia Zhen had a deep relationship with Xungui. Even if Jia Zheng was there, they didn't have much presence in the court.

Facing the cooperation of the civil servants and the Jinyi Army, he didn't know what to do if he wanted to save him.

Jia Jing pointed out the way to break the game. Lin Ruhai is also a descendant of honor, although he has passed the imperial examination, he can be regarded as a line of honor.

If Xungui shared the same hatred in this matter, he would be able to resist the opposition of so many Xungui.

But Jia Zhen was stupid, and Jia Amnesty refused to accept Jia Jing.

Jia Jing, who was angry and always possessed the city, yelled curses in front of Chen Deyan.

"This method is not easy. Mr. Lin cannot be trusted by civil officials, nor can he be regarded as his own by nobles. Faced with such persecution, he will inevitably escape."

Chen Deyan explained for them.

Jia Jing glared at Chen Deyan.

That's why it is necessary to arouse the hatred of the nobles, but it is difficult for the people of Jia's family to take on the big responsibility, and they can't stir up public opinion.

After all, let the younger generation see the joke.

The gentlemen couldn't help it, Jia's mother scolded Jia Zhen and Jia Amnesty anxiously, and the outside world didn't mention it.

inside.

Lin Daiyu was crying, her appearance was pitiful.

Yingchun, Baochai, Tanchun, Xichun and others are all trying to persuade her, and Li Wan is also on the side.

Because of Shi Ding, Shi Xiangyun didn't come to Jia's mansion these days, and she and Lin Daiyu had some unhappiness with their little daughter.

The more I don't want to come, I'm not proud, I just feel embarrassed, I don't know how to face her.

"No matter what method you use, you must properly excuse the uncle at home."

Mother Jia's words.

Jia amnesty, Jia Zhen can only reluctantly smile.

How did the two of them have this ability.

"Do you want to ask Brother Tang to come forward?"

Jia Zhen's seniority is low, so she came forward to propose.

"He can't protect himself, how can he save Lin Ruhai."

Jia She still had some vision, and immediately vetoed it.

Jia Zhen has nothing to say.

Seeing Jia Mu looking at him, Jia Amnesty regretted that she shouldn't have said anything.

"Ugh."

Mother Jia sighed.

If Jia Jing is here, no matter what, he can think of a way, no matter whether it can be done or not, there is always a direction to contribute.

Even if Huang Quan was on the wrong team many years ago, such a terrible situation, he could still resolve it one by one.

Although the Jia family paid a great price.

But in the eyes of outsiders, the Jia family escaped a catastrophe.

The same Shifu has now disappeared.

Nowhere is it like now, the situation is far worse than before, and the rest of the Jia family don't even know what to do.

Less than two months.

Lin Ruhai was sent to Beijing by shackles. Before he was convicted, he looked like a criminal minister. His house in Yangzhou had already been ransacked.

Jia Zhen was ordered to come forward and met Lin Ruhai in prison.

Although Lin Ruhai was haggard, she didn't panic.

He saw clearly.

The charges against him impeached by the imperial censor are actually irrelevant. His identity and background, as well as the position he holds, are the most suitable to be used as a raft.

He has been the censor of salt inspection in Yangzhou for many years.

In this position, he couldn't refuse to accept the gift. If he didn't accept the gift, he wouldn't be able to sit still and get things done.

Either capital punishment, or sent to prison.

Seeing Jia Zhen repeating comforting words over and over again, there was nothing useful to do.

"Please Jinzhou Tang Qing'an come forward."

"what?"

Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Jia Zhen was stunned.

"He can't protect himself, how can he come forward to protect you?"

Having not seen Lin Ruhai for many years, Jia Zhen is not very familiar with Lin Ruhai. He originally came up with this idea, which was rejected by Jia Amnesty.

Hearing that Lin Ruhai thought the same as him, he despised the other party's lack of talent.

Seeing Jia Zhen's appearance, Lin Ruhai showed a helpless smile.

It is now impossible for him to get away with it.

The ending is mostly the death penalty of ransacking the house.

The crime has not yet been determined, but the house was ransacked, which shows that the death penalty is inevitable.

Unless the Supreme Emperor comes forward.

And the emperor made such a movement, and the emperor did not let the emperor come forward, which can no longer be explained by means.

So the Supreme Emperor is indeed seriously ill.

"I want to deal Golden State."
