When Yongzheng dressed as Lin Ruhai

Because of the in-law relationship between the Jia family and the Lin family, the in-law relationship between the Jia family and the Xue family, and Xue Jia's statement outside, now the world will only think that Lin Ruhai, the inspector of salt, is behind the scenes to help Xue Jia and the others With the support of the salt merchant, if some effective measures are not taken, these rumors will spread, and Lin Ruhai's status in the eyes of the saint will plummet.

Lin Ruhai guessed what the Jia family was up to, it was nothing more than wanting to use the power of Prince Yizhong to let him see the power of the Jia family, so that he would not dare to insult Jia Min again.

But what kind of character is Lin Ruhai?

Back then when he was an elder brother of the emperor, he was ordered by Kangxi to run errands. After accepting the benefits of those officials, he was still stern and selfless, which shows his character.

Lin Ruhai immediately disregarded face and power, and ordered Xue Jia and the leaders of several other salt merchants to be escorted to prison.Immediately afterwards, he sternly and unselfishly reported the matter between Xue Jia and the Jia family, not caring at all that the Jia family's disgrace would bring him down, nor did he care about Prince Yizhong behind Xue Jia.

However, Lin Ruhai did not hand in the letter together with the envelope, because although the power of Prince Yizhong in the capital is not enough to overwhelm the sky with one hand, let alone suppress Lin Ruhai's handwriting, it is more than enough to take out the envelope he wrote up.

Lin Ruhai made this decision in a very short period of time, and to be able to do so is considered quick-witted.If it had been longer, his thoughts would have been more thoughtful, but now there is not so much time for him to think about it.Even if you will be plagued by the world later, the situation will always be better than now, and you will allow yourself to argue when the time comes.

Moreover, Lin Ruhai didn't sue Prince Yizhong for his involvement in this incident. In a way, he did his best to benevolent and righteous. Lin Ruhai is a courtier who is loyal to the emperor. Nor will I sit idly by.

In fact, the situation is not as bad as Lin Ruhai imagined, because although the saint is getting older, he values ​​the golden chair under him more and more. He is also more vigilant about his adult sons, for fear that they will become impatient The position of the prince, who wants to force the palace.

The saints are most vigilant, of course, as the eldest son, Tu Junhao, who was named the Prince of Yizhong, and Tu Junyu, the son of the Empress Yuan, who is the most respected prince.

When the sage received Lin Ruhai's note, the spies he sent out to monitor Prince Yizhong's actions naturally sent news, telling the story rather than listening to it.

When the saint heard this, he laughed angrily.

The Xue family had a vain job in the household department, which was originally a sage's benefit from the rescue of Xue Jia's father, Xue Kang, and Jia Daishan.But looking at it now, it was the sage who misjudged the Xue family and also misjudged Xue Jia.

The same is true for the Jia family.

On the face of it, Jia Jia wants to warn Lin Ruhai, let him know that Jia's daughter is not easy to bully, but it's hard to guarantee that there is no plan to build plank roads openly and sneak through Chen Cang.

Originally, the Xue family was the confidant of Prince Yizhong, and the Jia family was the power of the prince. Originally, Tu Junhao and Tu Junyu were the leader and the other were the heirs, and the forces in their hands were evenly matched. Now, the Jia family secretly entrusted He asked Xue's family and Prince Yizhong to help with the affairs, so it can be seen that he leaned on Tu Junhao's side.

Or, is the Jia family trying to be a fool?

However, no matter what the Jia family wants to do, the sage doesn't want to see Prince Yizhong become bigger, so he should find an excuse to stop his arrogance, lest he have lofty aspirations and even covet his confidants.The mother of Prince Yizhong, Concubine Zhen Gui, was originally from a noble family, and with the wealth of the Xue family, she was already more powerful than the prince. If the Jia family was added, it would make the saint even more worried.

The richness of salt merchants in Yangzhou is famous all over the world. The Xunyan Yushi is the official in charge of salt affairs. Whether the salt merchants can make money depends on Xunyan Yushi. An important position with real power and wealth.

What is Tu Junhao trying to do with this move?

The sage judges others by himself, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood.

This is a test to see if he can win Lin Ruhai over. If he can win him over, it will be good, but if he can't... I'm afraid Lin Ruhai will be in danger soon.

The sage narrowed his eyes, and threw Lin Ruhai's booklet heavily onto the imperial case, with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Saint..." The chief eunuch Li Ying saw that the saint's face was not good, but because the concubine who wanted to meet the saint had always been valued by the saint, so he could only report tremblingly: "Saint, the concubine is begging to see you."

"What is she here for?" The saint asked impatiently, and Concubine Zhen was the mother of Prince Yizhong. "I don't see it!" The sage dropped this sentence firmly, and said again: "This Palace of Longevity is my sleeping palace, and no one else is allowed to enter without permission. How can the noble concubine even want to enter my Palace of Longevity? No matter how courageous she is, don't she want her precious son to enter the Longevity Palace right away? It's really a wolf's ambition, and it's really hateful to be so self-respecting!"

This time Li Ying knew it, the saint was so angry, it was probably because Prince Yizhong caused some trouble and let the saint know.And the imperial concubine may also be aware of this, but this time she came to intercede, but the sage has not even met the sage, so she let the sage get angry, it is really terrible.

However, the imperial concubine of the Palace of Eternal Life used to come here often, but every time she only came to the main hall in front of the Palace of Longevity. This is an honor that even the empress does not have, but now because of her loyalty to the prince, it seems that she will not have it in the future. This is a proud capital.

After obediently listening to the saint's instructions, Li Ying carefully exited the Hall of Longevity and came to the gate of the hall. Seeing the arrogance on the face of the noble concubine surrounded by pearls and emeralds who were respectfully served by the maids and eunuchs, Li Ying couldn't help feeling in her heart It's funny.

"The maidservant kowtows to the imperial concubine, and the empress is Jin'an." Li Ying respectfully saluted the imperial concubine with the reason that no matter how poor people are now, they may turn upside down in the future.

"Forget it, get up." Concubine Zhen's eyes flashed with anxiety, and before Li Ying got up, she was about to walk into the Hall of Longevity.Because according to past experience, every time I come to the Hall of Eternal Life to ask for an audience, the saint will let me in, and I have never refused, so she doesn't need to be invited. own up.

But unexpectedly, this time Li Ying hurriedly got up and stopped Concubine Zhen, before Zhen Guifei reprimanded him, he said softly and impatiently: "Hold on, empress, the saint doesn't want to see you, please go back."

"Nonsense! How could a saint not see me!" Concubine Zhen didn't care whether Li Ying's tone was good or bad, as soon as she heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "Is it because you, a slave, didn't spread good words, or You didn’t report to Ben Gong at all!?”

With such a big hat off, even Li Ying didn't dare to pick it up. She fell to her knees with a plop, kowtowed three times to Concubine Zhen, until the oily skin on her forehead was broken, and she panicked. He said: "The slaves dare not accept the words of the imperial concubine, please take it back."

This time it was Concubine Zhen's turn to be embarrassed.

Although this Li Ying is a slave, slaves and slaves also have different identities, because Li Ying is the personal eunuch of a saint. In this palace, even the prince of a half-lord, or even the queen and concubine themselves, dare not I offended the other party too much, and now the other party has knocked his head, and when the saint sees and asks, then his own disaster will be serious.

Piansheng is now on the verge of riding a tiger, Zhen Guifei frowned her beautiful eyebrows, and a troubled expression appeared on her well-maintained face, "Forget it, I just take it back, you just get up."

Because Concubine Zhen is used to running wild in the palace because of being favored, she never asks for help, so now she can't tell Li Ying to hide the injury on his forehead, so she can't help but lose her former composure. There was a drop of cold sweat.

Because Li Ying was so close, she could really see clearly.He is good at observing words and expressions, and has a considerate temperament, so he didn't wait for Concubine Zhen to speak, and said with a smile on his face: "Concubine Zhen, look at how careless this servant is. I fell down and broke the flesh of my forehead, please don't blame the servants for losing their manners."

When Concubine Zhen heard this, her heart was overjoyed, and her expression became more relaxed. When she looked at Li Ying, she also had a little more kindness in her eyes: "How can I blame you? Although you are a slave, you are still a slave. He is also a servant who works by the saint's side, so how can we generalize it? There is a good Nine Poisons Huayu ointment in my palace, and I will ask Xie to bring it to you later, you must remember to take it and rub it."

As she spoke, she winked at her close maid, Xi'er.

As soon as Mao'er saw it, she immediately stepped forward, took out a delicate purse from her sleeve, and stuffed it into Li Ying's hand.

"What's the virtue and ability of this servant, and thank you, the imperial concubine, for the reward." Li Ying took the bulging purse and stuffed it into the hidden pocket of his sleeve, and then said: "Your imperial concubine, the servant has made a lot of mistakes outside. It's time, you have to go back quickly."

"Eunuch Li has always been favored by the sage, and the sage will not be able to leave you for a while, so it's good for you to go back quickly." After this shock, Concubine Zhen finally came back to her senses.Li Ying is the saint's confidant, and it is impossible for the saint to pass on the imperial decree, so the saint's not wanting to see her can only be the truth.

But Hao'er was so bold that he got into trouble, and as a mother, she had to take care of him no matter what. If she didn't see the saint this time, it's hard to guarantee that it wasn't the result of the saint's anger when he knew about it.

Now, even if she is as expensive as a concubine of a saint, she has to ask an eunuch for help.

Therefore, Concubine Zhen smiled and said: "Eunuch Li, the sage may be in a bad mood today, so I don't want to see this palace. It's just that this palace always thinks of the sage, and when the sage feels better, please send me a message." , let Bengong come and be at ease for the saint."

"Your concubine and empress' thoughts are known by servants and servants, so please ask your empress to wait for the good news."
