It doesn’t matter, my boyfriend is a eunuch!
Chapter 124: Admission by Selection
Concubine Li's family is a great concern to the emperor, and the Lin family must have been recorded in the emperor's diary of death long ago.
Three generations of prosperity, thousands of acres of fertile land, and interpersonal relationships throughout the court and the country. When Lin Zhihe entered the palace, he was not used to the things in the palace and had to transport them from home box by box. The extent of his extravagance can be seen from this.
The emperor must have endured it for a long time.
What's more, the Lin family is involved with the eldest prince and the second prince, and they have already lined up in advance.
If that's the case, it makes more sense.
The Lin family married the second prince's daughter, which seemed to outsiders to be a strong alliance and a joint effort.
In the eyes of the emperor, the two targets that needed to be eliminated actually formed an alliance together, which achieved twice the result with half the effort and saved a lot of effort.
Lin Zhihe no longer dared to believe his own judgment.
Could she really have figured out such a complicated matter involving kings and nobles?
Did she guess what even Lin Yingchen and King Cheng hadn't guessed? They thought about it eight hundred times a day, so how could they not see the changes in the government?
"Master, what you said does make some sense. The emperor probably doesn't want to stay in the Lin Mansion any longer."
The flame that Lin Zhihe had just extinguished reignited, and she looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Why do you think so?"
Liu Li calmed down at this moment. "The wars on the front line are getting tense one after another, and the military funds are stretched to the limit. The Lin family has been so greedy and embezzling so much in recent years. The emperor must have been fed up with it."
Hmm? This is a familiar plot. Isn't this Nian Gengyao?
It is the civil official version of Nian Gengyao, Nian Gengyao plus.
"The war is getting serious? Didn't Duke Yan just return to the court? How could it be serious?" Lin Zhihe raised his question.
Obviously, tightening the belt and allowing the main ministers to return to the court are two contradictory things.
"It's just a rumor among us servants. It's said that Duke Yan came back this time because the emperor showed him mercy and allowed him to reunite with his family, but in fact he was secretly escorting military pay."
This really surprised Lin Zhihe.
"Military pay? Isn't military pay allocated at the beginning of every year? How come it's gone in the summer?"
Don't each department prepare a budget when they hold a financial meeting every year? Why do they suddenly say that there is not enough money?
Liu Li couldn't help but snap his fingers. "This is the crux of the matter. At the beginning of the year, the Ministry of War reported two million taels of silver as this year's military expenditure. Logically, the two million taels should not have been used up by the middle of the year. There must be a problem, but we don't know where the problem lies."
There are only two reasons why there is not enough money. Either the money was not given enough in the first place, or the Ministry of War overspent.
But either of these two reasons sounds incredible.
Even an elementary school student knows how to calculate his pocket money, so why is it so casual in the Ministry of War of the imperial court?
The fog is heavy.
Lin Zhihe thought that with her experience in palace fighting, she could see through things that others could not, but now it seems that is not the case.
So she still doesn’t have a golden finger!
Why do other people who travel through time have golden fingers, but she doesn’t?
Lin Zhihe roared to the sky again.
Forget it, there’s no point worrying about those things. The most important thing right now is to go to bed.
Having washed up long ago, Lin Zhihe fell down on his big bed, looking at Liu Li who was still lying on the ground.
"You should go to bed too." Lin Zhihe rubbed his eyes and said good night to him.
There was a chaise longue in the room, the same one that had always been placed in the study.
Liu Li asked a few eunuchs to move the imperial concubine's bed diagonally opposite to Lin Zhihe. Although it was a bit far from Lin Zhihe, the two could still see each other's faces.
Every day she saw Liu Ligu rolling his eyes, and she didn't know what he was thinking. Lin Zhihe would guess what he was thinking in her mind, and she would fall asleep while guessing.
The next morning, Lin Zhihe woke up early.
Ever since the accident, her sleep has become very light, and the days of being able to sleep soundly are gone forever.
So as long as Liu Li moves, she will wake up.
But she never told Liu Li about this. Liu Li had to get up early to arrange the work for the other eunuchs, so it was impossible for her not to move. Besides, if she told Liu Li, Liu Li would be even more worried about her.
She didn't want to make Liu Li so tired. She could feel that Liu Li lived under high pressure every day and was afraid that she would make the slightest mistake.
Pretending to sleep was not an easy task. She turned sideways, facing away from Liu Li, and then dared to open her eyes and sort out her thoughts.
There is a shortage of military pay at the border, and no one can say whether this news is accurate or not. It is estimated that only a few people know about it.
If there is a shortage of money, will it accelerate the demise of the Lin family?
It is estimated that the Lin family alone can seize 10 million taels of silver. This will immediately solve the emperor's urgent need. Will the emperor be tempted?
She couldn't guess.
Did Lin Yingchen guess what the emperor thought of the heir? Did he know that the emperor was dissatisfied with the Lin family?
Lin Zhihe suddenly sat up.
Yes, if she could see through it, Lin Yingchen might have thought of it!
Maybe he knew it from the beginning? Maybe he just wanted to take a chance!
If he wins the fight, he will be credited with following the dragon and will be the emperor's Taiyue.
If you lose the fight, you lose. The demise of the Lin family is only a matter of time, just a few years sooner or later.
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Zhihe's hairs stood up on his back, his scalp went numb, and the numbness spread directly to his body.
No way, is this such a big deal?
She was totally unable to adapt to the current pace, and felt like she was being carried every step of the way.
She hadn't gotten used to traveling through time yet, so she had to get on good terms with the Queen in the palace to find the jade ring.
Just when she had adapted to the time travel, she was told about her relationship with King Cheng, and was held in the water by Lin Zhiqiang to engage in a house fight.
Just when she had adapted to the rhythm of the palace fighting, she was dragged into the factional struggle for the throne. She didn't even have time to make a good choice before she was assigned to the Fifth Prince's faction, and from then on she had to revolve around the Fifth Prince.
A matter of life and death depends entirely on the Fifth Prince.
Seeing Lin Zhihe sitting up, Liu Li quickly came over, squatted at the corner of Lin Zhihe's bed, and looked up at her, "Master, what's wrong?"
Seeing Liu Li's worry, Lin Zhihe quickly shook his head and said, "It's nothing, don't worry."
"You said," Lin Zhihe remembered Liu Li's words and lowered his voice, "If you were the emperor, who would you choose as your successor?"
Hearing the word "successor", Liu Li hesitated for a moment, but soon understood what she meant.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "It's hard to say."
"What's so hard about this? Can't you choose someone?"
Liu Li's frown did not relax, and she was still very embarrassed. "The eldest prince is good at fighting, but I think the emperor doesn't like the queen and the eldest prince very much. The second prince is not bad, the third prince is also handsome, and the fourth and fifth princes have their own merits. It's really hard to choose."
Lin Zhihe listened to Liu Li's long nonsense, then lay down again and looked at Liu Li sideways.
"What about the master? Who will the master choose?"
"I choose you!" Lin Zhihe said as a matter of course.
If someone else said this, Liu Li would feel that the other person was making fun of her identity, but Lin Zhihe was different.
She never laughed at her status and never joked about such things, but had legitimate reasons.
"why?"
Lin Zhihe looked at Liu Li with a smile, "Look, it's great to choose you. If there is a grudge, you can take revenge on the spot. You will definitely not make a joke of supplying and demanding. Besides, you are a eunuch and have no offspring. You can directly return to the throne selection system and select the best."
Liu Li nodded his head and said, hmm, what a twisted logic.
