Early morning.
After paying homage, General Manager Chen said loudly: "If there is something to do, I will start to report, but if there is nothing to do, I will withdraw from the court."
According to the rules, generally all matters in the court, big and small, are reported to the Sixth Department, then to the cabinet for summarization and review by the cabinet elders, and finally to the emperor or the Supreme Emperor Zhu for approval.
Therefore, the morning meeting usually involves discussing some unresolved matters in the previous days. If someone else reports directly to the court without reporting it, it would be disrespectful to the rules.
This kind of unruly behavior is likely to lead to mutual criticism.
Although the world is big, there are only so many high positions that control power. If those people don’t get down, how can others get up?
If it weren't for this, why would there have been so many party disputes in the past dynasties?
Power is touching.
After a while, King Zhongshun stood up and said, "I would like to report to Your Majesty that Lin Ruhai, the Lianghuai Salt Transport Envoy, has completed the salt management and has made a great contribution to the court's new tax revenue of more than 5 million taels a year.
From Xiao Wang's point of view, Mr. Lin has outstanding talents in financial management and distribution, and can be promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to manage the world's finances. "
Emperor Qing nodded.
Hearing this, some people became anxious. The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue is a high-ranking official of the second rank, who controls the purses of hundreds of officials, as well as everyone in the local government and the army. If such a position is given to people, what advantage do they have?
The King of Beijing hurriedly came out: "Brother Wang, although the King of the Household Department is old, he is still strong. He has been in charge of the Household Department for many years, and he has worked hard and made no mistakes. It is unreasonable to dismiss him directly because of emotion and reason.
Moreover, Mr. Lin's position as General Envoy of the Lianghuai Salt Transport, which provides a large amount of money to the imperial government every year, was transferred rashly. If the new envoy does not handle it properly, wouldn't it be a loss to our imperial court? "
"Hmph, what are you talking about? If you do a good job together, let him keep doing it, right?
Now that the Holy Emperor is in the court, those who make mistakes will be punished, and those who have merit will be rewarded. Doesn't what you do means that the capable are in the dust and the mediocre are superior?
King Beijing, what are your intentions! "King Zhongshun said dissatisfied.
The King of Beijing smiled and said: "Prince Zhongshun, my fellow practitioners in the Beijing Palace and the country, in terms of loyalty and concern for the world and the court, are definitely not inferior to you.
What I mean is, since Lord Lin Ruhai has outstanding ability in doing practical things, and is planning for the world and the people, why not let him guard one side. In this way, he can also make achievements wherever he goes?
And asking him to come to the household department, because he is not familiar with the business process, may not only cause financial damage to our government, but also may waste time. "
"Yes,..." Immediately a minister came out to echo.
In the eyes of the Beijing King and his family, you, Lin Ruhai, can go anywhere, but don't come to Kyoto anyway.
The Supreme Emperor was over eighty years old. Although he could still walk around a few days ago, people with a clear eye could see that every day could be the day of his funeral.
Therefore, they must ensure that Kyoto has enough manpower, and the current people are not available.
The most important thing is Jia Min. Although his record is probably based on rumors, he is famous for being a true warrior, and he must have strong martial arts skills.
At critical moments, force can win the right to speak.
After discussing for a while, seeing that the officials were resolute, King Zhongshun finally took a step back and said, "Then I will promote him to the governor of Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers."
Everyone was stunned when they heard about the position of Governor of Lianghuai.
The governor is a high-ranking official in the border area. His official position is from the first rank and he is in charge of the military and civilian affairs of the place. It can be said that he has a high position of power.
Moreover, such a position would not be used in ordinary places. Unless there are rebels or public security disorder in the local area, a person will be promoted to the governor.
In this way, everything can be settled with one word, and chaos can be quickly settled. Generally, there are governors of Liangjiang, Huguang, and Shaanxi and Gansu.
The two Huaihe Rivers are a land of plenty. No matter how troubled or miserable the situation is, the locals will always have something to eat. There will be no rebellion at all, and there is no need to set up a governor.
The key is that Lin Ruhai is already very powerful in Lianghuai, with a large number of followers, and with the addition of a governor, wouldn't nine out of ten of the world's finances be in the hands of Emperor Qing?
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is neither reasonable nor reasonable to set up a governor in Lianghuai. Moreover, according to the system, Mr. Lin should not continue to stay in Lianghuai with such a high position. I think the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is very suitable. .”
After hearing this, many officials nodded, and some even stood up directly.
"Wei Chen seconded the proposal."
Lin Ruhai is in the heart of the emperor. Depending on today's situation, promotion is necessary, but where to send him is very important.
The rule that has existed since ancient times is that one person cannot be in charge of power in one place all the time. In this way, all local officials were promoted and appointed by him. At the critical moment, did those people listen to the emperor's orders or that person's orders?
However, the mountains and forests in Guangdong and Guangxi are high, there are many tribes, and there is a miasma of poisonous insects, which is not suitable for the army to set off.
In addition, the local tribal consciousness is strong, and the will of the clan leader even overrides the imperial power. Smuggling, fighting, and killing officials are common things.
Sending Lin Ruhai there would be the best way to solve the problem. If things go well and you just pick peaches, if you can't solve the problem, it would be even better to die there.
When will the Emperor die? They have been waiting for year after year! How can I still be alive when I am over eighty years old? I can even stand up and walk.
"Okay, then let's make him the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi." Emperor Qing decided directly.
King Beijing and the others were all stunned. Why are you so talkative today?
Is there anything special about these two places? What else can you do in that poor place besides catching some fish by the sea?
"My Holy Emperor!"
Having said it all, no matter how you think about it, the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages, and all the officials simply agreed.
…
Royal study room.
Emperor Qing stood with his hands behind his hands and looked outside the palace from a distance.
Since ancient times, Chinese people have been moderate. If you want to open a window, you might as well propose to lift the roof in order to get better exposure to the sun.
Sending Lin Ru overseas was naturally in line with his goals. It was an opportunity to legitimately promote one of his own to a high position. Starting from the first rank, this official rank may be beyond the reach of most officials in their lifetime.
Another is that the fewer people in the DPRK who look at him on the surface, the bolder those people will be.
The more courage you have, the more arrogant you will be, and you will give others a handle.
Of course, it has something to do with him not getting enough rest recently.
For some reason, Jia Min and her daughter lived together in the courtyard of the Lin family. He always felt like there were thousands of kilograms of explosives stored there, which would explode at any time and turn Kyoto upside down.
Just stay out of sight.
Go out and cause harm to other people, okay?
…
Lin Mansion was bustling with people early in the morning.
In this world, there are few helpers in times of need and many icings on the cake.
Everyone heard that Lin Ruhai was expected to be promoted to the powerful and wealthy household department, and everyone licked their faces.
In life, power and money are almost the two most important things.
In the living room, Jia's mother was reminiscing with Jia Min, and the mother and daughter were chatting happily.
When you gain power, everyone will realize that the world is full of kindness.
Jia Baoyu, who followed, greeted his uncle with a few greetings, then began to look around, and even got up to walk around.
His uncle is a third-rank general, his eldest uncle is a first-rank general, and his eldest aunt is a first-rank general. In this Lin Mansion, Jia Baoyu will naturally not have any stage fright.
Unconsciously, I walked to the door and saw a strong man respectfully helping a young girl down. It was Sun Shaozu and Jia Yingchun.
The submissive girl in the past is now radiant and has bright eyes. She looks at her husband from time to time, as warm and moist as water.
"Sister Yingchun." Jia Baoyu said happily.
As long as he sees a beautiful girl, he will be particularly happy.
Jia Yingchun looked up and smiled slightly: "Baoyu, why are you here?"
"My mother insisted on me coming. She said she wanted to see my uncle. But my uncle kept chasing me to ask about the imperial examination and knowledge. It was really annoying, so I ran out!" Jia Baoyu was very depressed.
Sun Shaozu looked at this boy in surprise, as if he were looking at a bad pen?
At that time, the courtier, a third-rank official with real power, gave you advice on knowledge, but you have this attitude? You are amazing!
"Baoyu, this is my husband, the commander of the Forbidden Army, Sun Shaozu. I heard that my uncle and aunt were back, so I came here to visit.
Where are they now? You can show me the way. "
Yingchun introduced her husband very carefully.
Except for her wedding night, her life had been harmonious. Every day, her husband takes care of her with all her heart, and she is in charge of all the finances of the house. She is in charge of everything at home, and is naturally comfortable.
Jia Baoyu was a little impatient: "It's boring to cling to the rich and powerful again! Besides, Uncle Lin is only in the third rank, not as high as my uncle. How come even my grandmother dares to stick to him?"
Sun Shaozu:......
In the past, he thought his colleagues were joking when they said that the second-generation ancestors were stupid. After all, they had the best education and hired the best teachers since they were young.
Now he has seen that this guy is really missing a chord in his head, and there is crystal clear stupidity in his bright eyes.
If he talks too much to this kind of person, he is afraid that his children and grandchildren will be affected.
"Let's go, it's important that we go visit uncle first." Sun Shaozu simply pulled Yingchun through the door.
On that day, what was his reason for asking for marriage in such a low voice? Not just to get rich.
All the officials in the imperial court thought that the current situation was just a show-off. Nowadays, the six tribes basically sided with the former crown prince, Prince Yizhong and Prince Beijing, so not many people came to the Lin family, the current direct family.
But during these days of guard duty, through careful observation and analysis, he gradually realized the tip of the iceberg of his true strength today.
Hidden but not exposed, this is the hero.
Seeing that Yingchun and his wife ignored him, Jia Baoyu sighed, how could there be so many people in the world who couldn't see clearly.
Are these things like utilitarianism, fame and wealth really that good?
A hundred years from now, everyone will be nothing but a handful of dirt, so what’s the point of fighting for it? Living happily is what matters.
read? Read a shitty book.
"Hey, Brother Bao, why are you here?" A young man in brocade clothes stood at the door and greeted him carelessly.
"Xue Pan, long time no see." Jia Baoyu was very surprised.
So far, among all his friends, Xue Pan is his favorite. Loyal and generous, loves to play and knows how to play.
In the previous days, he and Xue Pan had only experienced the true bliss of the world.
As soon as they met, the two hugged each other and talked to each other.
Moreover, one was locked up in the house by his brother-in-law to study for more than half a year, and the other was locked up in the courtyard by his father to play with the maids for more than half a year. They have a lot in common.
After chatting for a while, Xue Pan said loudly: "Is Sister Lin at home? I'm here to see my Xiangling this time!"
Xue Pan's words were not polite. Back then, he could beat people to death for Xiang Ling, so he naturally cared about that girl very much.
And now his identity is different. He is the brother-in-law of the dignified King Beijing and a relative of the emperor. Who dares to mess with him?
After finally coming out, I naturally had to let out a bad breath!
Looking for trouble?
Jia Baoyu suddenly became a little excited. During these days, the old lady and the old father preached at home every day, and most of the people they compared were Sister Lin.
That girl is refined in literary talent and can stay at home safely even if she is powerful. If she were a man, she would be ten or a hundred times stronger than him.
But he still refused to accept it. In his opinion, those poems were similar to his own, and there was no one better than him.
"Let's go, I'll take you there!"
"Brother Bao, as expected of you, my good brother. Let's go and bring back Xiangling and let's enjoy it together!" Xue Pan said happily.
He is, unsaid, a righteous person.
Jia Baoyu quickly shook his head: "Forget it, how can you ruin the innocence of your daughter's family? When the time comes, just take her as your concubine."
Xue Pan was stunned. This guy didn't want to become a fellow-traveler with him?
…
In the courtyard, Sun Shaozu was respectfully meeting Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, a member of the Jinwu Guards.
Xue Pan swaggered in, leaning forward and clasping his fists casually: "Uncle Lin is here too? I'm looking for Sister Lin. She took my maid Xiang Ling away and she hasn't returned it to me yet."
Lin Ruhai was stunned.
Sun Shaozu's eyes lit up. Isn't this an opportunity to show off? Before Xue Pan could continue to speak, he punched him.
"Bang~"
"Where did you come from, kid? You are so presumptuous! County Lord Lin is aloof, righteous and clean, so he would care about you, a maid?
Even if that maid is from your family, she has abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side! "Sun Shaozu cursed while beating him.
Several guards following Xue Pan saw their master being beaten and quickly stepped forward to help.
After a while, Sun Shaozu was beaten by several people at the same time.
Sun Shaozu:......
"Beijing Prince's Mansion, Mr. Chang Shi is here!" Suddenly someone shouted outside the door.
Xue Pan and several guards were silent for a moment, and quickly stood aside.
The long history came in, clasped his fists, and bent down to bow: "Greetings to Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Jia."
Lin Ruhai nodded slightly.
Chang Shi looked around and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, the palace's poor discipline has made you laugh. I'm sorry."
As he spoke, the old man waved his hand, and several armored sergeants surrounded Xue Pan and several Xue family guards with sticks.
"What are you doing? My sister is your princess! I am the brother-in-law of King Beijing, you have no right to hit me!" Xue Pan shouted crazily.
The only good thing about him is that he has a strong head.
"Bang! Bang~"
Sun Shaozu stood up and joined in without hesitation, and then kicked this kid in the crotch.
"Pa~" The chicken is flying and the egg is beating.
"Ah!" The miserable cry made all the men present feel a chill in their hearts.
Chang Shi smiled and said nothing.
The prince is a man who wants to achieve great things and does not need weaknesses.
Moreover, this time, people like Lin Ruhai, who have the talent to help the world, can see the sincerity of the Beijing Palace.
…
