As we all know, China has been a major agricultural and commercial country since ancient times.
Time flies, time flies.
Guangdong and Guangxi, along the coast.
The merchant fleet won a great victory overseas, no, it was very profitable. The governor specially ordered a grand fireworks banquet to be held on the coast.
All the people participated freely and celebrated together.
"Bang~" The fireworks rose and the banquet began.
At the port, Lin Ruhai and his wife sat quietly on the shore, looking at the gorgeous fireworks in the distance.
The sea is vast and the fireworks are gorgeous.
A magnificent night sky is exuding colorful fireworks, and the diffuse fireworks are dazzling and full of mixed feelings.
A little bit of light gathered, and Lin Daiyu appeared to the side holding the little yellow cat.
Lin Ruhai did not come forward to contact her, because he knew that it was his daughter's thoughts and a dream.
"Daughter, how about the birthday fireworks that your father arranged for you, do they look good?" Lin Ruhai said proudly.
Lin Daiyu raised her head, and brilliance bloomed in her dark eyes.
Slowly stroking the cute thing in her arms, the girl's mind wandered, and she suddenly remembered a song that Lele once sang to her.
"If you are the fireworks on the sea and I am the foam of the waves, at a certain moment, your light illuminates me..."
Fireworks and waves and foam at sea, their existence is fleeting.
The sea is vast, but fireworks are rarely set off, but the foam will dissipate every moment.
Therefore, the moment when a bubble is illuminated by fireworks, it is extremely lucky.
In its limited and pitiful life, it was lucky enough to encounter such a beam of light, which allowed Bubble to see the most beautiful and wonderful brilliance in the world.
This is so much like love, because love is a very unlikely event.
She met the half she wanted to meet among millions of people. In the endless river of millions of years, in the wilderness of endless time, she happened to catch up, neither a step too early nor a step too late.
Fireworks are born with light, and bubbles are humble luck when encountering a beam of light.
After watching the fireworks, the family quietly watched and listened to the waves of the sea.
Life lasts for a hundred years, but the sea has flowed for countless years, and human life is too short.
"I heard that Emperor Qing's health was not very good, and now he has asked the prince to assist the government?" Lin Ruhai suddenly asked.
Lin Daiyu nodded.
Although there were always Yuan-Building Pills provided by the Lin family, Emperor Qing could be said to have worked hard for the new dynasty.
In recent years, there have been great peasant uprisings in Sichuan, Chu, and Shaanxi. There were also overseas barbarian countries from north to south that carried out various invasions of the Central Plains, spread sects, and traded tobacco and drugs.
Almost every day when Emperor Qing woke up, he found that his country was in turmoil. In addition to these external chaos, hundreds of officials in the court were also in conflict with each other, and corruption was rampant.
Even his younger brother King Zhongshun was involved in many things.
What can he do? Pull some people, beat some people, and negotiate with some people.
There is no day off anyway. The key is that no matter how hard he tries, it seems to have no effect.
Rebellions occur everywhere every year and they never stop. No matter how strict the ban on smoking is, there are still opium dens everywhere, and many local officials even take the lead.
Not to mention corruption, in the end even the national treasury will lose more than half of its money once counted.
Emperor Qing often felt that he did not understand the world, and eventually became depressed and ill. His health deteriorated over the years, and even the Yuan-Building Pill did not have much effect.
Heart disease is difficult to treat, let alone Emperor Qing, who is almost sixty years old.
"Hey!" Lin Ruhai let out a long sigh.
I still remember that Emperor Qing had been kind to him, so he sacrificed his life to repay the court, and as a scholar, he fought against the huge salt merchants in Lianghuai.
After he was transferred to Guangdong and Guangxi, he remained unmoved when faced with all kinds of temptations of money and beauty, and he did not neglect the wife beside him. After working hard and sleeping hard, Guangdong and Guangxi were finally developed into the top three tax-paying governments in the Central Plains.
I originally thought that he would be transferred to the center next, and the monarch and his ministers would work together to become the main and deputy envoys. One would be in charge of Kyoto, and the other would sweep the world outside, creating the most prosperous era in the history, and letting future generations watch a good story about the monarch and his ministers.
As a result, Emperor Qing softened his heart and seemed to be afraid. Although he fully supported Guangdong and Guangxi, he was hesitant and timid about corrupt officials.
"Dad, I heard that Emperor Qing said in court that he would call you back to be the assistant minister of the new emperor." Lin Daiyu suddenly said.
Lin Ruhai's heart sank.
The transfer of imperial power in previous generations has always been extremely dangerous. If he is ignored or demoted, it will be okay. The new emperor will give him a title after he succeeds to the throne, and the monarch and his ministers will put on a show again, and they will be veterans of the two dynasties.
But when he reaches his current position and continues to be granted titles, what else can the new emperor be granted? Become a king? Or is it a stepping stone to become the new emperor and achieve his supreme glory and majesty?
"Is this true?" Lin Ruhai asked seriously.
Lin Daiyu nodded.
"Meow~" The little yellow cat jumped into Jia Min's arms and pushed hard.
Adult young women seem to have a unique charm.
Jia Min squinted her eyes and kissed her daughter directly, ignoring her angry expression.
"Lele is still cute."
Lin Ruhai glared, no longer paying attention, and then fell into deep thought.
He has a family of young and old, and there are also many people from the Lin family's branches. In total, there are hundreds of people, old and young. Do they just rely on whether the new emperor will be kind?
If you treat me with sincerity, I will not betray you. If you treat me with sincerity, if you betray me, then I will treat you with my head. There is no such truth in the world!
】
"Daughter, what do you think?" Lin Ruhai glanced around and asked quietly.
Lin Daiyu stood up, stood with her hands behind her hands, looked at the horizon, her aura was overwhelming, and whispered: "In this world, except Lele, no one can make me kneel down and surrender."
Lin Ruhai looked at the sexy cat in his wife's arms in surprise:? ? ?
Little yellow cat:......
I've never had to shovel shit like this before, she's talking nonsense, it's not me!
Royal study room.
"Father, here is Jinke's general examination list. Do you want to consider the rankings of the ministers again?" Prince Mianning handed over the memorial and said respectfully.
That year, rebels from the Tianli Sect broke into the palace, but he used a blunderbuss to lead his team to stop them. Although there are many masters among the rebel thieves who can fly over walls and walk over walls, they are still unable to deal with the cannons.
Within ten steps, the gun is fast and accurate.
From then on, he was valued by Emperor Qing and officially became the crown prince.
Emperor Qing took the memorial casually, glanced at it and saw the name at the bottom of the top three list: Jia Baoyu. As he raised the corner of his mouth, he thought of the young man who was born with a jade in his mouth and looked like a dragon or a phoenix.
After being expelled from the Jia family, in a place like the countryside, with no power or influence, he could still pass the top three examinations, which is really good.
The key point is that a guy who is related to the rebels can actually appear in the imperial examination room openly and win the honor.
This court is rotten to the core.
Moreover, he is probably only in his thirties now. He still has a long time to go, and he may still be able to do something in the future. But he is already old. Every time he sees himself in the mirror, he even thinks of his father's appearance in old age.
He has white hair and spots on his face, and sometimes he can’t hear clearly what others are saying.
He is really old.
Every time he took the Yuan-Building Pill, he could barely feel that his life was still alive. But as soon as he lay down, he couldn't sleep again because he thought about the big and small things happening in the country.
The government forces the people to rebel. He obviously thinks about his people every day, so why do those people keep rebelling against him?
He couldn't sleep well at night. Every day he was worried about what the country had become like and how he would be judged by history in the future.
Did the new dynasty fall under Emperor Qing? A declining emperor?
'hometown'? If that place really existed, then everyone in future generations would laugh at himself when they see him.
"Ning'er, come here." Emperor Qing greeted.
The prince stepped forward, very seriously, his attitude was the same as that of Emperor Qing back then, benevolent, righteous and filial, everything was like a reincarnation.
Emperor Qing looked him up and down and seemed to see another version of himself.
"Prince, I leave the world to you!"
"Father!" The prince's eyes were filled with tears.
Emperor Qing stretched out his hand, interrupted him and continued: "Haha, in these years, those political affairs have been handled well, and all officials have recognized it, so I can rest assured that the world will be left to you.
Let me tell you two things:
First: Lin Ruhai, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, this person is extremely capable and loyal. It was just that his methods were too cruel, so officials never allowed him to return to Beijing.
But I have been suffering from deep-seated shortcomings. If it weren’t for such a person to turn the tide, I would have perished in your hands.
So I plan to call him back to serve as auxiliary minister before passing the throne to you. When the time comes, I will pull anyone who doesn't agree with me to go with him. Anyway, my reputation is already in tatters.
Second: Your Majesty, do you know why my reputation is so good among officials? It's because I'm too kind and I can't bear to use the knife. Maybe I will be given the posthumous title of Renzong after my death.
Haha, Renzong? After those few Renzongs in ancient times, is the country about to perish?
So don't imitate me. As the supreme being in the world and the son of heaven, you should have the power of a king and be decisive in killing.
Corruption: Kill! Party formation: Kill! Those who refuse to accept: Kill! The capable ones go up, the weak ones go down!
In this way, maybe you, Crown Prince, can become the central leader of our dynasty and continue the destiny of our dynasty for hundreds of more years."
As he spoke, Emperor Qing suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have left this mess to his children.
"Prince, do you hear me clearly?"
Mian Ning nodded seriously: "My son, I must do something!"
Emperor Qing nodded and then felt relieved: "Okay, let's get down!"
"My son, please retire!"
After slowly retreating out the door, the prince stood at the door of Yangxin Hall, overlooking the huge imperial city.
This picturesque land will be his from now on.
Even at this moment, he has already thought about his future reign name, so he will be called Daoguang, which means a bright future. In the future, under his leadership, the new dynasty will achieve a prosperous age that China has never had before, with all nations worshiping him and coercing the world.
From now on, his name will leave a colorful page in the history!
As for his father's instructions, he understood what he meant after thinking for a while.
Kill decisively! Is there any question about who was killed? Of course it was Lin Ruhai, who supported the troops of Guangdong and Guangxi and respected himself, otherwise why would he be brought back?
Moreover, he has been dealing with political affairs all year round, and he even saw the miserable appearance of the people of Guangdong and Guangxi in the memorial of hundreds of officials, which was completely different from the memorial of Lin Ruhai.
As the dignified governor, Lin Ruhai controlled the salt, iron and grain and competed with the people for profit, making the people work hard for a year, and the price of the grain could not even be sold.
Moreover, he also does shipping and trades with those overseas barbarians, with ulterior motives. Earning so much money every year, he only gives the imperial court six profits.
What are you doing with so much money? Do you respect yourself by supporting troops?
Moreover, Guangdong and Guangxi levy such a small tax on the people, only 30%. Isn’t this the foundation of the new dynasty? The tax revenue there is so small, while other places collect more, how can other regions survive?
Didn’t the people all run there? If there are fewer and fewer people in other places, who will cultivate their land? Who else can the court turn to to collect taxes?
When he acted like this, he didn't have any view of the overall situation or the world. He only cared about his country within a country, the land of the Lin family.
There are countless other crimes committed, including privately killing ministers, censors, and officials.
My father was deceived by the so-called Lin Aiqing's memorial and has been staying in the country all these years. But he saw with his own eyes what hundreds of officials had done, one by one, it was too numerous to write down.
And that Lin Ruhai's daughter, Lin Daiyu, is even more arrogant and arrogant.
He, the majestic prince and the crown prince of the world, personally came to visit her, but the woman turned out to be invisible and repeatedly hit the wall. There is not even the basic etiquette of returning a gift at the door.
Is this disrespectful to him? This is a slap in the face of my father and the face of the world, and there is no mercy at all.
Once he was enlightened, he would not allow such an awesome person to exist!
"Yes, Father, you are right. As the supreme king of the world, of course he must kill everyone in the world who hinders him from becoming the emperor of the ages!" The prince strode away under the sunset.
Excellent martial arts? Mr. Lin, times have changed. Nowadays, everyone uses muskets and artillery!
No matter how powerful a hero is, he can defeat thousands of armies. As long as he is still in mortal form, he cannot withstand the infinitely powerful explosives.
As soon as he ascends to the throne, he eliminates great harm for all officials and accomplishes the great deeds that even his father failed to accomplish. His fame and power will surely reach their peak in a short period of time.
Until then, he will take advantage of the general trend to do what his father always wanted to do but did not dare to do: eliminate corruption, clean up the world, and bring justice to the court.
Daoguang, Daoguang, one day, he will wipe out all the obstacles that hinder the progress of the new dynasty. He will join hands with all the officials of the court to build a truly prosperous world!
The prince's pace became faster and faster, and in the end he even broke into a trot.
Time is running out, he needs to arrange it early and quickly. He even couldn't wait to see Lin Daiyu, the most talented woman in the capital, kneeling in front of him, begging for mercy.
Just thinking about it makes me a little excited.
…
Unconsciously, undercurrents surged in the capital.
The replacement of the emperor is a major event involving the fate of all families, and the new emperor seems to have different ambitions.
At the same time, 50% to 60% of the officials, the imperial army, and the Jinwu Guards, from captain to commander, seemed to have a strange dream every night.
Their ancestors were standing in front of them and kept saying something, but they couldn't hear clearly.
After several days, they finally vaguely heard the last words: "Great happiness, the Emperor of the Lin family!"
When you woke up from your dream, everyone shut up and kept secrets.
This thing is really unbelievable.
From the power of the dragon? ? ?
…
