Almost all of the people here are the best among human beings. How could they not understand the meaning of Emperor Yongxi’s words?

If Emperor Yongxi had promised gold and silver jewels and high-ranking officials and generous salaries at this time, then they would not be so jealous, and Lin Ruhai would not be so excited!

But what did Emperor Yongxi promise? "I have another great use"!

Emperor Yongxi remembered Lin Ruhai's achievements in his heart, and did not plan to exchange it now! Instead, he wanted to be a monarch and minister with Lin Ruhai for a long time!

It can even be said that with Emperor Yongxi's words, Lin Ruhai will be like Lao Hutu for the rest of his life, and he can take care of himself in the cabinet!

Is any of those old ministers really willing to become an official? If so, Yang Jisheng would not be so old anymore. He would still stay here even though he knew that he was destined to be depressed in the Yongxi Dynasty!

Civil servants are different from military attachés. Although they are all people who take tea to cool down, the cold of military generals cools down extremely slowly. Even in your grandson's generation, as long as a promising person enters the army and catches a favor, he will be killed.

Someone you can rely on!

But things are different for civil servants. Almost as soon as the paperwork for you to become an official has arrived, you have to be humble to other people even when you enter the yamen gate!

Therefore, the gold content of Emperor Yongxi’s words is self-evident! As long as Emperor Yongxi’s words are present, even if Emperor Yongxi dies tomorrow, his successors will still have to give Lin Ruhai some face. Even if Lin Ruhai is not needed,

We have to ask him to eat, have fun and live a good life in the cabinet...

And Lin Ruhai's performance was not purely emotional. In fact, most of it was for political show and to increase Emperor Yongxi's affection...

If it was the Tanhua Lang, then Lin Ruhai might really have the heart to devote himself to Emperor Yongxi until his death!

But now, after so many years of training in Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai has already become a famous official at the Confucian level like Shangguan Yi and others!

To put it simply, people are afraid of enlightenment when doing something! Once you have enlightenment, you will stand out in this industry!

Originally Lin Ruhai could only be regarded as a capable minister, but after a series of hardships and confused exploration, Lin Ruhai finally had an epiphany!

He became an official not for the high position and generous salary, nor for loyalty to the emperor and patriotism! It turns out that he came to Yangzhou resolutely for the purpose of being loyal to the emperor and patriotic! But if you ask him why he wants to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, he can't tell you!

He only knows that this is what they were taught in the books since they were young. This is the principle of the sage! What the sage said is absolutely right!

But now, after experiencing the ups and downs of the world and the ups and downs of human relationships, Lin Ruhai has realized that he studies well and is loyal and patriotic, all for one purpose: to bring peace!

Loyalty to the emperor is not the goal, but loyalty to the emperor is a means. Use this means to achieve the ultimate goal, which is to cultivate one's moral character, regulate one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world! It is to let all people live a better life! Not for one family or one surname! Not for the emperor!

Shangguan Yi knew this truth, so Emperor Yongxi only used Shangguan Yi, and would never be as kind to Lin Ruhai as he was to Jia Jing!

Lin Ruhai is different from Shangguan Yi. As a member of "Shixun", he knows how to protect himself! He also knows how to follow others' wishes!

This is by no means flattery, but to protect yourself first so that you can better contribute to the ideals in your heart! So in order to serve God at this time, Lin Ruhai chose to act like this without hesitation! Because only in this way can Lin Ruhai climb the ladder

Higher! Occupying a higher position in Emperor Yongxi’s heart!

But everyone present would never know what Lin Ruhai was thinking! Because in their hearts, this was what Lin Ruhai was thinking!

After all... Lin Ruhai has no son, so there is no need for him to make plans for the future...

This is also the reason why Emperor Yongxi trusted Lin Ruhai unconditionally. By being a minister like Lin Ruhai, it was obvious that he had become the emperor's closest confidant!

He is already homeless, so what selfish motives can he have?

Of course Lin Ruhai has selfish motives. Without a son, he still has a daughter... But he has never forgotten that his daughter has a very strong opponent!

If he dies, forget it, but now, his daughter only has the right to choose, and she must not be rejected or disliked because her life experience is not good enough!

Emperor Yongxi seemed to be a little agitated by Lin Ruhai's words. He hurriedly pulled Lin Ruhai up personally, stretched out his hand and patted Lin Ruhai's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be hasty, take good care of yourself first. That's the serious thing."

! Ruhai, I still want to be a monarch and subject with you for life! You and I must complete this friendship between monarch and subject!"

Lin Ruhai was really moved at this time, and couldn't help but choked up and said, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Yongxi said nothing, just smiled and patted Lin Ruhai on the shoulder, and then introduced everyone present to Lin Ruhai.

In fact, everyone basically knew each other. After all, they all followed Emperor Yongxi, so basically they had met and dated for a while. Emperor Yongxi also introduced their current official positions to Lin Ruhai.

Especially one of them, Jia Yucun, the Minister of War, could be said to have been promoted by Lin Ruhai. Jia Yucun was even more excited at this time, but when he saw Lin Ruhai just smiled and nodded to him, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

………

Did Jia Jing say something to him? Does his mentor have any bad thoughts about him? Is he also going to abandon himself? Or is it because there are so many people with so many eyes, so it’s hard to be too close?

To be honest, Jia Yucun definitely didn't care much about Lin Ruhai before. Even if he knew that Lin Ruhai might have died in Yangzhou, he would only sigh for a moment and then forget about it!

But now, anyone can see Lin Ruhai's hidden power! Lin Ruhai is fully qualified to stay outside the two parties like those highly respected officials and no one dares to have any thoughts about him!

This is a great surprise for Jia Yucun! It was originally just a stepping stone, but never expected that one day it would become a towering tree that can be relied on!

If Lin Ruhai really died in Yangzhou City, Jia Yucun would not have any idea of ​​revenge for Lin Ruhai. It was Lin Ruhai who promoted her in the first place, but it was your Jia family who kicked me out, right?

You don’t want me as your disciple. I don’t need to worry about your affairs. Jia Yucun has already learned the methods and mentality of most people who are wandering in the officialdom!

Now, he is no longer the scholar who escorted Daiyu to Beijing with the ambition of serving the country and the people, and ambitious to work hard to make a career! He has grown into a qualified bureaucrat!

In the original text of Red Mansion, we can see such a growth and change of Jia Yucun, so I think it is very ridiculous to say that the destruction of the Jia family was because Jia Yucun avenged Lin Daiyu...

The Jia family's use of the Lin family's wealth is both serious and light, because the Jia family originally intended to keep the property for them, so when Daiyu gets married, the Jia family can provide a huge share of it.

Fei's dowry, then it is not actually bullying the orphan girl.

Even if it is, why didn't Jia Yucun clean up the second house that was more targeted at Daiyu, but instead cleaned up the big house that had little to do with Daiyu?

So I am more inclined to think that Jia Yucun may have contributed to this matter, but it is a bit ridiculous to say that he is avenging his benefactor and complaining about Daiyu. I am afraid that he is mostly thinking about his own career!

In fact, it can be seen from this point that Jia Yucun at this time has completely become what Jia Baoyu calls an official fan! He is an official just for the sake of being an official!

Children from poor families, who suddenly become rich, or who gain the support of nobles, often behave in such a way that loses their minds. Few stick to their true intentions, and many indulge in Nan Ke Yi's dream!

And now Jia Yucun has completely fallen into it! So at this time, my heart is full of trying to figure out Lin Ruhai's intentions. What other ideas do you have?

Fortunately, no one cared about the current state of Jia Yucun, and all their attention was focused on Lin Ruhai. After meeting with everyone, Emperor Yongxi asked Lin Ruhai to take more rest recently, and asked where Lin Ruhai wanted to live.

It's so convenient to give me a home.

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly and bowed and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I don't have such a need. My family also has property in Beijing and an old house that has not yet been sold. It is ready to be moved in."

Emperor Yongxi laughed when he heard this: "I forgot that Aiqing is also from a well-off family of Shixun!" Everyone laughed in a dignified manner. As for the laughter, there was some sincerity and some jealousy.

No one knows it anymore!

This is also the most jealous thing about Lin Ruhai... Most of her people may still have no place to stand in Shenjing City, and even some of the poor people here may be renting a house with a whole family!

As a result, when Lin Ruhai came to Beijing, not only did she have a huge fortune, but she also had a big house in Shenjing! The most important thing is that no one can call Lin Ruhai "greedy"!

Because Lin Ruhai should have been so rich! Compared with their hiding and hiding, it is right that Lin Ruhai should be so rich! It is normal!

Because their heritage is there! They are a family that has been in the family for generations! There is no need for them to be greedy. Even the money left by their ancestors will be enough to spend for many lifetimes!

Therefore, if Lin Ruhai's reputation was not displayed here for everyone here, and even many people in the court, their teeth would be broken!

They have never read the Internet cool novels of later generations, otherwise Lin Ruhai would be the standard male protagonist of the cool novels!

You succeed at a young age, marry a noble daughter, have a distinguished family background, and are talented. The most important thing is to be the top pick. Now that most officials are from the imperial examination, the imperial examination is just a follow-up!

And Lin Ruhai was the Tanhualang, in other words, the most handsome and youngest among the top three in the country that year! This is a very tough heel, and Lin Ruhai's own family still has money...

It can be said that if Lin Ruhai had not wasted so long in Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai's life would have been like the protagonist of a cool novel!

This kind of life experience actually has advantages and disadvantages, but in general, for Lin Ruhai now, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages...

Emperor Yongxi was originally going to give a banquet, but Lin Ruhai just came back and said that the family was still waiting, and there were still a lot of things to deal with. Emperor Yongxi then remembered that Lin Ruhai was the son-in-law of Rongguo Mansion!

It was really not good for Lin Ruhai to return to the capital without visiting Rongguo Mansion first. After all, Jia Min... After Emperor Yongxi wanted to understand this, he stopped trying to persuade Lin Ruhai to stay. He gave Lin Ruhai a bicycle frame to leave the palace to show that Lin Ruhai

You can rest for a while, and Emperor Yongxi will summon Lin Ruhai again after a while!

Lin Ruhai was walking out of the palace when she saw Jia Yucun hurriedly following behind. Jia Yucun did not dare to run in the palace, so he could only whisper quickly: "Teacher! Teacher, stay!"

Lin Ruhai frowned slightly, looked back, and saw that it was Jia Yucun, so he relaxed slightly, turned around and smiled at Jia Yucun: "Oh, Yucun, it's you."

Seeing Lin Ruhai like this, Jia Yucun felt a little calmer. He smiled hurriedly and bowed to Lin Ruhai: "Yes! Yes! My mentor is none other than Yucun!"

When Lin Ruhai heard the name Jia Yucun, he couldn't help being slightly startled, and looked at Jia Yucun with slightly narrowed eyes!

Jia Yucun and Lin Ruhai were the same generation at first, not to mention that Jia Yucun also served as Daiyu's tutor. He was regarded as Daiyu's teacher, like a teacher and a father. Naturally, he should be the same generation as Lin Ruhai, but Jia Yucun called Lin Ruhai "

Teacher......

In fact, it was mostly like this in the officialdom at this time, either as the leader of a faction or as the leader of a party. Then the subordinate officials who had a close relationship or relied on them were called "mentors". In later dynasties, they were called "mentors".

He even has the titles of "Tai Ye" and "Old Tai Ye"!

Jia Yucun was promoted by Lin Ruhai, so if we really talk about it, calling Lin Ruhai "mentor" is definitely justified!

But Jia Yucun himself is similar in age to Lin Ruhai. When he first became a disciple of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Yucun called Jia Zheng "Uncle Shi", indicating that he was friends with Jia Baoyu's peers!

It's just that Lin Ruhai didn't know it, so he was shocked at this moment, and couldn't help but look at Jia Yucun carefully again! After this look, he inevitably found some clues, and his mind couldn't help but sink!

Jia Yucun smiled almost flatteringly at Lin Ruhai: "My mentor, I haven't seen him for many years, and I never thought that my mentor's style would still be the same. Today I finally got what I wanted and was able to enter the center and display my ambitions! What a joy and congratulation!"

Lin Ruhai pursed her lips silently, then smiled at Jia Yucun and said: "I just obeyed His Majesty's instructions. Yucun is a promising man. I never thought that after seeing him for several years, he would be appointed as the Grand Sima. He has a bright future."

Jia Yucun couldn't help but be overjoyed, but said more cautiously: "It's all thanks to your teachings! How dare a student take credit? Without the original letter from the teacher, Yucun would still be a depressed and poor scholar.

!”

As he spoke, he actually squeezed out two tears. Lin Ruhai stepped forward and sighed and patted Jia Yucun on the shoulder: "After all the hardships, there are joys. Only when you can endure loneliness can you push away the clouds and mist, so that you can be an official."

Jia Yucun hurriedly nodded to Lin Ruhai with tears of gratitude, and then tentatively proposed his purpose, inviting Lin Ruhai to a poetry club dinner!

Lin Ruhai's heart was moved, but she still shook her head with a smile: "I just returned to Beijing recently, and I am busy with business. Besides... the imperial banquet is retreating, isn't it..."
To be continued...
