When Yongzheng dressed as Lin Ruhai

Chapter 39

Lin Ruhai has always been a vigorous and decisive person, once he said something to do, he would immediately plan to do it.After coming out of the imperial study room, he went straight to Qianqing Palace where the old sage was.

Speaking of the Qianqing Palace, it is in a straight line with the Jinluan Palace where the early dynasties discussed politics. It is also located in the center of the world, and it is also the palace of the emperors of all dynasties.

Originally, when Tu Junpu came to the throne, he should have moved to Qianqing Palace, but after Lin Ruhai instructed him, Tu Junpu knew that he should not stick to a small Qianqing Palace, so he simply asked the old sage to continue living in Qianqing Palace. Qing Palace, but I chose the Hall of Supreme Harmony and lived first.

At the beginning, the old sage had a heart for the Zen position that he had no choice but to do, but Tu Junpu's actions, it has to be said, made him more willing to take the Zen position.

However, no matter how much he likes Tu Junpu's filial piety, those things that should be done to protect his own interests still have to be safeguarded.

The old sage is getting old, and he also loves the group of veterans who have always been attached to him. In addition to nostalgia, the deeper reason is to keep himself from being separated from power.As long as there are his people in the court, the old saint will have the strength to make the new emperor afraid.

And Lin Ruhai is the confidant of the old saint, so he is naturally within the scope of his protection.But now what Lin Ruhai has to deal with are the courtiers who are also old saints. Even if they are not confidantes, the strength of gathering together makes people have to think twice.

But what Lin Ruhai was going to do, how could he shrink back because of a little resistance.

Hearing that Lin Ruhai came straight to the Qianqing Palace as soon as he left the imperial study, the old sage asked people to wait outside the Qianqing Palace, and when Lin Ruhai came to ask for an audience, he summoned him in.

As for Lin Ruhai, the old sage always liked him. After seeing him knelt down and prostrated, he was helped up by someone, and he was given a seat, allowing him to sit and perform his duties.

Lin Ruhai has always been a person who does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and the old sage also knows his temperament. Although Lin Ruhai has become a bit lonely since Mrs. Lin passed away, he is still a good boy in general.Moreover, Lin Ruhai also has a good appearance, which makes the old sage feel that he likes it very much.

However, after Lin Ruhai handed over to the old sage the copy of the list given to his disciple Junpu, the old sage's face changed instantly, and the look in Lin Ruhai's eyes also showed a hint of unkindness. .

Lin Ruhai didn't know whether he hadn't noticed it, or just pretended he didn't know it. What he should say and what he should do was still unambiguous at all.

"The old sage has always been kind, but it is a fact that the treasury is empty. If the debt is not recovered as soon as possible, I am afraid that the war with Qianxiang Kingdom will not be fought. If there is a war, it will only be because of the supply of food and military supplies. If you fail to win, you will end up in defeat." Lin Ruhai looked worried for the country and the people.

"Old sage, just think about it, our Great Ming has always been afraid of small countries, but as long as we lose once, those small countries will be ready to move. When the time comes, there will be wars and chaos, but because the treasury is empty, there will only be one defeat after another. The old sage and His Majesty's fame are in the way."

Although the old sage is greedy for power, it cannot be said that he is not a good emperor.Especially when Lin Ruhai mentioned the war with Qianxiang Kingdom, it was a heart problem of the old sage.

As an emperor, what the old sage knows best is to make inferences from one instance to another.Thinking that the national treasury is empty and cannot supply military supplies, food and grass, it is inevitable that people on both sides of the river have been displaced due to the flooding of the Yellow River during this period of time. Diseases will also be prevalent.

Thinking of this, the old sage became a little hesitant.

It has to be said that Lin Ruhai was an emperor in his previous life, and knew what he cared most about being an emperor.And thanks to the old sage, although he is greedy for power, he has never been a fool, and he knows what to choose.

However, although the old sage is hesitant to get rid of those old ministers now, Lin Ruhai understands his heart, and also knows that Tu Junpu is not mature enough, and the old sage should help him check it out. In the future, the old sage's current power cannot be easily thrown away, so the strategy he and Tu Junpu talked about will not hurt the old sage's muscles.

And what Lin Ruhai has to do now is to repeat the strategy he and Tu Junpu said to the old sage again.

With Lin Ruhai's previous foreshadowing, as long as the old sage thinks about it carefully, he will understand that Lin Ruhai is still of his own faction, and he never thought about helping Tu Junpu to remove his own power, so the previous unkindness towards Lin Ruhai was early. Just put it aside, and became more and more amiable.

"Since you have made up your mind, let's do it as you wish."

With the wish of the old sage, Shi Shiran left the palace thanks to Lin Ruhai's gratitude.

Lin Ruhai's schemes are not actually schemes, because he was trained by Kangxi as a lonely minister in his previous life, so his methods are often simple and rude.After all, he was born as a prince, no matter how simple and rude he is, it will not be useless, and it is not easy to be regarded as an enemy, because most of the people who will be regarded as enemies are those who are good at and like to play tricks.

However, I have to say that when Aixinjueluo Yinzhen became the emperor, if he was still so simple and rude, he would be easily criticized by others.And this is also one of the most important reasons why he was criticized by others. The other reason is because of his unrelenting attitude and his harsh temperament.

What Lin Ruhai has to do is very simple, that is, to contact Jia She, who is already in charge of Yipin General's Mansion, and ask him to take the lead in repaying the money first, even if it is part of it, at least it is an expression of his attitude.At that time, it will be almost enough to deal with some stubborn and unwilling to submit, and find some reasons to raid their homes to supplement the national treasury.

However, it is easier said than done.

The hard part is not letting Jia Shen stand out.After all, as long as you explain the stakes to him, and since Jia She got Lin Ruhai's idea and successfully transformed the Rongguo Mansion into a first-rank general's mansion, and became the real head of the family, he was very convinced of Lin Ruhai, so he Side is very easy.

What's more, repaying the money now will allow Jia Zheng to pay half of it, because Jia Zheng is still a part of the Jia family, even if the family is divided, it can't hide that his share of the family property may also include part of the national treasury.And if it is delayed for another three years or two years, I am afraid that the two families will be completely separated, and it will not be realistic to ask Jia Zheng to pay back the money from the treasury.

It doesn't matter if Jia Zheng doesn't want to pay, Lin Ruhai will teach Jia Amnesty how to dig out the money from Jia Zheng.

So, the hard part is the resistance.

Simply the old sage has already made sense, so he is not afraid of anything.Even if someone jumps over the wall in a hurry and decides to assassinate Lin Ruhai, I believe that Tu Junpu will not let him go, and Lin Ruhai is not a cheap lamp.

This Lin Mansion has long been tidied up by Lin Ruhai properly, like an iron bucket, and it is difficult for others to stretch out their claws to get in.

So, on the second day, Lin Ruhai reported the emptiness of the national treasury in the morning court.

Tu Junpu knew about it a long time ago, but he still pretended to be stunned, "What's going on? I remember that there were more than 5000 million taels recorded in the account of the Ministry of Accounting. Why did it suddenly become empty? Could it be that the account of the former Ministry of Accounting The minister is corrupt!" When he said this, Tu Junpu's tone was stern, as if Lin Ruhai said "Yes!" Tu Junpu could order the former household minister to be executed on the spot.

"I'm telling you the truth, Your Majesty." Lin Ruhai said in a stern statement: "The account book of the Ministry of Accounting is certainly correct, but Your Majesty does not know that there is another account book of the Ministry of Accounting, which records the records of all officials. Borrowing silver from the treasury."

As soon as this remark came out, all civil and military officials were in an uproar in the Jinluan Hall.

It's just why they are in an uproar, then only they know it well.

Listening to sing and Lin Ruhai's singing and one together, there are many officials in the hearts of hundreds of officials. Those officials who have borrowed the silver of the Treasury, the number of people who have borrowed the silver of the Treasury is small, and the number of people starts to settle in my heart.

However, there are even those with high positions and weights, because they think that they have the old sage as their support, so they don't worry much. Instead, they think in their hearts how to use this matter to use the old sage to suppress the new emperor, and then from Tu Junpu got some comfort and some benefits.

Among them, there is Wang Ziteng.

It's just that what they think in their hearts is not what Lin Ruhai and Tu Junpu care about now.Just when their conversation came to an end, Tu Junpu made a decision that Lin Ruhai would take the lead to pursue the debt owed to the state treasury from the officials, and he was allowed the right to kill first and then report, so he could act cheaply.

Lin Ruhai got the order and was about to retreat when Wang Ziteng stood up.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate."

Tu Junpu had long been prepared that the group of self-reliant veterans would backlash, so he just raised the corners of his mouth coldly, and asked lightly: "What? What's wrong with my will? Even if Mr. Wang stands Come out, just help me give pointers."

Although Wang Ziteng was persistent, he pretended to be humble: "I don't have that intention, but I just think it's better to discuss this matter with all the ministers. After all, officials were allowed to borrow money from the treasury back then." It's the old sage, and now the old sage has not spoken yet, His Majesty has made a decree this time, after all, you have to worry about the old sage's mind. I will govern the country with filial piety, and I ask your majesty not to disturb the old sage's ideas ah."
