Chapter 597 The secret of the T-shaped roll, how to control the heat
Lin Ruhai's eyes moved slightly, and there was something in the other person's words, which related to many things, even to the people around him, relatives, friends, and even his family.
“Ziying, you mean the Jia family?” Lin Ruhai asked in a deep voice.
"Uncle, you know better than anyone in your heart that the problem my nephew just faced affects too many people around us, so we have to think about it in advance and think more deeply to avoid being stuck in the quagmire and unable to extricate ourselves without realizing it. The Supreme Emperor The relationship between you and the emperor also includes a looming Prince Yohitada. My nephew, I don’t believe you can’t see it. Where to go? I don’t know if you haven’t thought about it carefully, or you can’t see through it clearly, or you are simply avoiding it? …”
Feng Ziying's words made Lin Ruhai fall into deep thought.
I have to say that what the other party said struck a chord with him. He was escaping. Even though he knew that his life was short, he still wanted to avoid some problems subconsciously and was unwilling to face them. He even wanted to leave many problems behind. Let the people behind you solve it.
The appearance of Feng Ziying only gave him some more choices. He could hand over some resources that he thought were excellent and valuable to Feng Ziying, while those that were difficult could not be thrown away even if they were stained, and they might even be involved in endless conflicts. Let him take the risk and trouble to his own grave.
But the question is, can the two be separated?
Also, can Feng Ziying be separated from herself now?
Ever since he decided to marry Daiyu, he was probably being targeted. The Supreme Emperor, the Emperor, and even Prince Yi Zhong were probably all thinking about Feng Ziying.
Even if I want to take everything away now, I'm afraid it's impossible. Once I close my eyes, the targets of these people may converge on Feng Ziying.
Seeing that Lin Ruhai was silent, Feng Ziying did not push the other party, but just sipped her tea and waited.
He believes that the other party can understand this truth. Sometimes when you step into the court or the world, it will be impossible for you to withdraw, or even your reputation will be ruined, and you will not be able to escape.
After a long time, Lin Ruhai slowly raised his eyes, with a bitter look on his face, "Ziying, you can see things more clearly than Uncle Wei, who has been hanging around in the court for so many years."
"Uncle, it's not that the nephew can see clearly, but the uncle is in it. The authorities are obsessed with it. The nephew can see it clearly by the bystander. Maybe in another year and a half, the nephew will be like his uncle when he is in it." Feng Ziying shrugged shrug.
"Ziying is too modest, um, but it wakes up Uncle Wei. What are you worried about now? I left Yu'er to you, and Uncle Wei also believes that you can protect her safety and happiness throughout her life, Miaoyu,..." Lin Ruhai Shaking his head, now is not the time to talk about this matter, "What do you want to ask?"
"Well, uncle thinks the nephew's problem just now is too big?" Feng Ziying was also happy to see Lin Ruhai let go of the burden he was worried about, "Then the nephew will ask more carefully, why did Prince Yi Zhong become the prince twice, but was finally deposed? ?”
Feng Ziying actually knows a little about this issue and has made some guesses, but many people are keeping it secret, so if he has the opportunity today, he will ask clearly.
Given Lin Ruhai’s original special position in the Supreme Emperor’s system, there should be an answer to many seemingly complex and confusing puzzle questions. At least Lin Ruhai can provide information for himself to clearly see the trend.
"Well, this question is quite complicated, and there is no consensus. What Uncle Wei understands is that Prince Yi Zhong is the eldest son, the legitimate son of the late Queen, and the Supreme Emperor also cherishes the Queen the most. He once promised to the Queen before she passed away. The throne was passed on to Prince Yizhong, so no one had ever thought that Prince Zhongxiao would eventually succeed him, so the Emperor made Prince Yizhong the crown prince early. As for why he was deposed, there are many theories, but Uncle Wei knows that first The first time he was deposed should be related to women. The prince had an affair with a concubine of the Supreme Emperor,..."
Lin Ruhai’s tone was very calm.
The hero has a hard time passing the beauty test, not to mention that Prince Yoshitaka is not much of a hero. Didn’t he also fail to pass the beauty test, and that’s why he got Miaoyu, and he is so worried now?
"Well, that imperial concubine was deeply loved by the Supreme Emperor. Then, for some reason, she got involved with the Prince again..." Lin Ruhai felt a little embarrassed to speak, "..., it is said that she gave birth to a daughter..., the Supreme Emperor originally He wanted to give her death, but she was imprisoned because she was pregnant, but later..."
Seeing Lin Ruhai just shaking his head but refusing to go on, he probably felt that it was inconvenient to talk about such dirty facts in front of his future son-in-law, so it was enough to know a general reason.
"Of course, I'm afraid this is not the only reason. Although Prince Yitada was deposed, the Queen still felt it was inappropriate, so she reinstated the prince a few years later. However, later the prince became very close to the important minister of the imperial court. The Supreme Emperor was also in poor health at the time, so he became even more suspicious, so he deposed the crown prince again. Later, the current emperor, King Zhongxiao, took the opportunity to win the favor of the Supreme Emperor..."
Lin Ruhai couldn't help but sigh. If the crown prince had stayed calm and kept a low profile after he was restored to the throne, the throne would still not have gone to King Zhongxiao, who had little influence at all.
Even at the last moment, Prince Yitada still had the opportunity to ascend the throne, but he failed to grasp it and ultimately lost the opportunity. This is why the current emperor, seven or eight years after he ascended the throne, still followed the rules and did not make any big moves. It was really the case before. Prince Yitada was too powerful inside and outside the court and in the local area, and the Emperor was too tolerant of Prince Yitada.
It can be said that important officials including Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe, Xiao Daheng, Zheng Jizhi, Li Tingji, Li Chengliang, Wang Ziteng, and Niu Jizong were all trained by the Supreme Emperor for Prince Yi Zhong, but they were picked up by the current emperor. And now no one can guess what the emperor is thinking about these important ministers and what these important ministers are thinking about Emperor Yonglong.
When Lin Ruhai expressed these situations in a subtle and euphemistic way, Feng Ziying couldn't help but take a breath of air.
No wonder Emperor Yonglong is still so low-key and forbearing, and no wonder Prince Yizhong still feels that he has a chance of winning in such a situation.
Although the civil servants of the imperial court are unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the Tian family, if these few were trained by the Supreme Emperor for Prince Yohitada, even if it is more the civil servants' own efforts, this origin is enough for the civil servants to Prince Yohitada has more favorable impressions.
As for women's affairs, civil servants probably didn't have much interest in them. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty accepted his sister-in-law, and Li Zhi married his father's concubine, but they couldn't hide his reputation.
The prime ministers and assistants were all people who had a lot of connections in the past. Even if people like Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe had no intention of doing this, could Emperor Yonglong let it go and have no grudge against it?
Feng Ziying found it difficult.
It's no wonder that characters like Qi Yongtai, Zhang Jingqiu, and Guan Yingzhen who were originally idle can quickly rise in the court. In addition to Qi Yongtai, Zhang Jingqiu, and Guan Yingzhen's own abilities, a more important factor is that they are all under the Supreme Emperor. Those who were demoted in the era had nothing to do with Prince Yi Zhong. I am afraid that this was one of the main reasons why Emperor Yonglong used them.
Based on this alone, Feng Ziying estimated that her father would have no choice but to run away if he was promoted to governor of the three sides.
“Uncle, what do you think the Emperor is thinking now?” Feng Ziying couldn’t help but ask.
"I don't dare to speak nonsense, but the Supreme Emperor definitely doesn't want to see the situation of brothers fighting each other. But he can still control it now, but what about the future?" Lin Ruhai couldn't help but sigh, "Uncle, I think the Supreme Emperor is mentally and physically exhausted now. It's so confusing. The emperor is quite obedient now, but the more he behaves like this, the more violent it will be in the end. The Supreme Emperor, who has been in charge of the emperor for decades, can naturally think of this, and Prince Yi Zhong can also feel it, so He is also now..."
"Then what role did my uncle play in this? As far as my nephew knows, Prince Yi Zhong should have taken a lot of things from his uncle. Are you not afraid of being known by the emperor?" Feng Ziying touched the core of the problem.
"The emperor has known for a long time. When did my uncle hide it from the emperor?" Lin Ruhai blinked, "The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor have a tacit understanding on the income of the Lianghuai Salt Service. If the Supreme Emperor is really gone in the future, the two Huaihe Salt Service The income will also go directly to the emperor's inner treasury and will not belong to the imperial household treasury. This is the usual practice. But now, whether Prince Yi Zhong wants to take the silver from me or Yan Yin, the money must be taken from the Taishang Emperor's handwriting or from someone else. The dowager's handwriting, and the dowager's handwriting also has a fixed number every year. As for the salt citation, it depends on Prince Yohitada's own ability. Whether the salt farm and the salt merchants can sell his accounts is another matter."
So Easy? Feng Ziying didn't believe it, and her doubtful eyes wandered over Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai also knew that he could not hide it from the other party, and he had no intention of hiding it from his son-in-law, "Ziying, how much money the Emperor takes away and gives to Prince Yi Zhong every year is not something that Uncle Wei can know. Does the Emperor know? I don’t know, the same goes for the concubine. As for Shiohiki, I guess the emperor also has eyes and ears in Jiangnan, but Prince Yohitada is quite powerful in Jiangnan, so it’s hard to say how much he can hide from the emperor.”
“What does Prince Yi Zhong do with so much money?” Feng Ziying asked bluntly.
"Ziying, what do you think?" Lin Ruhai said leisurely: "The emperor will not know, but how much does he know, and what can he do if he knows it? The Supreme Emperor is still here, do you think others don't know? Everyone is watching, your father No, hiding in Yulin is a good idea, but the governors of the three sides may not. Of course, if he can find a reason to stay in Gansu or even Shazhou and Hami, it would be best. Was Wang Ziteng forced to go to Denglai or did he intentionally make a move? Even my uncle can’t see through the pressing situation..."
