Then he looked at Qingfeng Li with a smile.

"But now that I have Qingfeng, I can finally put my mind at ease!"

Li Qingfeng was delighted when he heard this and looked at Lin Ruhai.

"So, you're not planning on sending Sister Lin to the capital?"

Lin Ruhai was slightly stunned when he heard this, then shook his head.

"I have my own difficulties. Besides, Yu'er is still young. It would be better for her to stay with the old Lord and be raised by him personally."

Qingfeng Li raised his brows.

"What if I can help you solve one or two problems?"

Seeing Lin Ruhai remained silent, Qingfeng Li continued,

"Since the current emperor ascended the throne, he has promoted people from humble backgrounds and promoted the imperial examination system. This shows that he is a monarch with great ambitions."

"The emperor is ambitious and has repeatedly tried to improve the court situation, but the four princes and eight dukes, for the sake of power and their own interests, have attached themselves to the emperor and repeatedly opposed him."

"To be frank, the Emperor is already very old. If something were to happen to him one day, what do you think would happen?"

Lin Ruhai looked at Qingfeng Li with a slightly serious expression.

Staring into his eyes for a long time,

Then he slowly nodded and sighed,

"I never thought Qingfeng, such a young man, would have such insight!"

Qingfeng Li smiled and waved his hands.

"It's just a trifle, not worth mentioning."

"Since Uncle has figured this out, he naturally knows that these four princes and eight dukes are too close to the Emperor."

"Although the Emperor is unwilling to completely hand over power, that is also a royal matter, and the ministers are involved in it, haha!"

Qingfeng Li smiled and shook his head without saying anything else.

Lin Ruhai took a deep breath and remained silent for a long time, neither nodding nor denying.

Looking at Qingfeng Li, he smiled and said,

"Qingfeng, your political views are indeed long-term, but it seems that there will be no major changes in the short term."

Then he smiled and said,

"If that time really comes, the Emperor's attention will naturally be on those people. I have worked so hard for many years, and the Emperor will certainly remember my hard work!"

Qingfeng Li sneered,

"Uncle, what you said is ridiculous. Are you putting Sister Lin's safety at the mercy of others?"

Seeing Lin Ruhai frowning and about to say something,

Li Qingfeng said directly,

"Uncle, your Lin family is also a prominent family in Jiangnan. The fact that you are currently serving as the Imperial Censor of Salt Inspection shows that you are highly valued by the new emperor."

"At this time when the court is in turmoil, you sent Sister Lin to the Rongguo Mansion in the capital. What do you think the emperor would think when he learned of this?"

Li Qingfeng speculated that in the original novel, Lin Ruhai was seriously ill.

But he was an important official, and his affairs concerned the emperor's purse. How could Emperor Xinglong not keep an eye on him?

But he was allowed to die in office due to illness.

Even when he was dying, Emperor Xinglong did not even issue an edict in recognition of Lin Ruhai's many years of achievements.

Not to mention the special arrangements for his only daughter, Lin Daiyu.

Otherwise, why would Lin Daiyu suffer so much humiliation and die in Rongguo Mansion?

He was called a trusted and important minister, but in reality, he was not even treated as a trusted and important minister.

Isn’t Emperor Xinglong afraid that other people loyal to him will think too much?

Therefore, Emperor Xinglong’s attitude at that time was very clear!

When Lin Ruhai was alive, he handed over two sums of silver to Emperor Xinglong and the Supreme Emperor.

This approach is tantamount to riding on the wall, trying not to offend either side.

Emperor Xinglong turned a blind eye for the sake of money.

But after Lin Ruhai sent Lin Daiyu to Rongguo Mansion,

The four princes and eight dukes all supported the emperor in his fight against Emperor Xinglong.

It would be strange if Emperor Xinglong had any good feelings towards her!

Seeing Lin Ruhai's face change slightly after hearing this,

Qingfeng Li continued,

"Even if there weren't a shortage of salt taxes this year, do you think the Emperor wouldn't be resentful of your hard work every year?"

Lin Ruhai remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

He is a smart and wise politician who was previously unable to understand himself in the midst of the situation.

But after hearing Li Qingfeng's words, he was able to absorb and understand a lot of things in an instant.
