King Zhongshun was indeed generous, but Wang Tingxuan was unwilling to take it. Firstly, he didn't know the means of making money, but he just didn't have the right time; secondly, the wealth came from a wrong way, and he didn't have the ability to deal with it yet, which could easily lead to hidden dangers.
"Thank you for your love, Your Majesty, but I am really not suitable to take on these people. The power of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes is too great and cannot be destroyed in a short time. The Second Duke Rong Ning was once the leader of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, and I do not have the ability to deal with them."
King Zhongshun glanced at Wang Tingxuan appreciatively.
In fact, no matter how cruel the emperor is, he cannot get rid of all the forces of the Four Kings and Eight Gongs. After the Four Kings and Eight Gongs calm down, the remaining forces will inevitably retaliate against those who participated.
Others don't know, but King Zhongshun knows it in his heart.
Among the four kings, except for Beijing Prince's Palace, which has no military power, the other three kings still hold military power in their hands. If there is no accident, the emperor will not touch the power of the four kings. Among the four kings, Beijing Prince's Palace, Nan'an Prince's Palace and Jia
The family relationship is the closest.
Prince Shuirong of Beijing County spends his days in the capital trying to win over literati, hoping to restore the decline of the Beijing Palace. His actions are not over the line, and the emperor will not deal with him.
The emperor was obviously concerned about what Wang Tingxuan once said about the Westerners. After dealing with the domestic affairs and the border troubles in the north, he will inevitably turn his attention to the south in the future. As the Prince of Nan'an is in charge of most of the Chu Kingdom's navy, he will inevitably turn his attention to the south in the future.
Play a very important role.
With these two palaces here, the Jia family's vitality will not be harmed too much.
Wang Tingxuan didn't know what King Zhongshun was thinking, nor did he know that the emperor planned to reuse Nan'an Palace. If he had known, he would have definitely reminded the emperor to pay attention to the safety of the south in advance.
King Zhongshun planned to seduce Wang Tingxuan and said: "Don't underestimate the profits. I sent someone to inquire. The Jia family only sold a Buddha statue made of golden fir wood for five hundred taels of silver in the pawn shop. That Buddha statue was sold by me.
The king bought it for 3,000 taels. Just by changing hands, the difference was a full 2,500 taels."
Things like golden fir trees are found in deep mountains and old forests. It will take thousands of years to become a talent. Even if you become a talent, you will never come across it easily.
Those ordinary people who go into the deep mountains and old forests don't have much experience. Even if they meet them, they probably won't recognize them.
Even if it is discovered by chance, it will not be easy to transport it out. This thing is too hard and difficult to cut.
The post-processing is also very troublesome. It needs to be left for decades to dry completely. Once it is completely dry, it will be even more difficult to carve it.
In short, golden fir wood is simply more valuable than gold.
Wang Tingxuan said to himself that he still lacked knowledge. He had heard of hemlock, but never heard of golden fir.
However, this is still not enough to seduce Wang Tingxuan. After all, he has the flat peach tree, one of the innate spiritual roots. Let’s not talk about the flat peach tree that is still a seedling.
"My lord, please stop tempting me. If you really want to give it to me, you might as well give me some treasures then."
King Zhongshun laughed and said, "You are smart, I will leave you some treasures."
At Lin Ruhai's home, Li Yuan was taking Lin Ruhai's pulse.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lin, the toxins in your body have been completely released."
Lin Ruhai was also overjoyed, "Lin thanks Yuanzheng Li very much. If it weren't for Yuanzheng Li, I'm afraid Lin's life would not be saved."
"Master Lin, you're welcome. Master Lin only needs to be carefully nursed back to health. Lin will return to the palace to return his life to the Supreme Emperor."
Lin Ruhai arranged for the housekeeper to send Li Yuanzheng out, and also prepared a large number of gifts.
Lin Daiyu said happily: "Lu Qi, tell me to go down and give everyone a monthly reward for three months."
The generous reward heated up the atmosphere in the Lin family, and the haze surrounding the Lin family completely dissipated.
Lin Daiyu couldn't wait to come to Lin Ruhai and said, "Dad, since the poison in your body has been detoxified, take a pill so that your body can recover faster."
Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Daiyu lovingly and said, "Don't worry. Daddy will take the pill in a few days."
Although Lin Daiyu was disappointed, she was not too worried.
After being taught by the nuns, Lin Daiyu also became more thoughtful. Although the servants of the Lin family are reliable, their loyalty can change.
If Lin Ruhai suddenly recovers, there is no guarantee that someone will not take the opportunity to make trouble.
Lin Daiyu's performance indeed made Lin Ruhai very satisfied, and she was even more grateful to the two nuns.
"Yu'er, prepare some gifts for the two nuns for my father."
"Dad, Yu'er understands."
Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "I used to be Hutu for my father. If I could find two nuns to educate you earlier, Yu'er wouldn't have suffered so much."
Is it bitter?
For Lin Daiyu, she didn't feel any pain at all being able to be by Lin Ruhai's side.
Now is the happiest moment for her.
Lin Ruhai said: "My father's health has improved, so it's time to visit your grandmother's house."
Going to grandma's house again?
The two nuns sent by the emperor to the Lin family were the nuns beside the queen. Their attitude was naturally towards the empress and the emperor. Their disdain for the four princes and eight princes and other nobles could not be concealed in their words.
Lin Daiyu did not blindly follow her grandmother's words, but the actions of the Jia family were not something that could be concealed by self-deception.
Lin Daiyu no longer had the awe and timidity she had in the past towards the Jia family.
In addition, Lin Daiyu, under the guidance of her mother-in-law, looked through the Lin family's account books and discovered that the gifts sent by the Lin family to the Jia family every year were worth tens of thousands of taels. Thinking of her situation in the Jia family, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but feel...
Dissatisfied with the Jia family.
Lin Ruhai said: "Yu'er, your father will make the decision for you in everything, don't keep it in your heart."
"Dad, Yu'er doesn't like her grandmother's house."
"Dad knows, just treat it as a normal relative for your mother's sake."
Lin Daiyu nodded and asked, "My daughter understands."
After that, Lin Daiyu deleted most of the previous gift list and drafted another one for others to prepare.
While King Zhongshun was talking to the Emperor, the eunuch in front of the Supreme Emperor came over and was talking about the appointment of Lin Ruhai.
Originally, Lin Ruhai's letter made the Emperor feel guilty towards him and acquiesced to the fact that he had taken refuge with the Emperor.
But there are still many people who are unwilling to give Lin Ruhai eye drops, and the Zhen family is one of them. Concubine Zhen gave Lin Ruhai eye drops in front of the Emperor. This is also the reason why the Emperor's attitude changed after Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing.
But Lin Ruhai knelt down and fainted in front of the Emperor's palace, and because he was indeed poisoned, the Emperor began to pity him again.
King Zhongshun asked: "How does the emperor plan to appoint Lin Ruhai?"
The emperor thought for a while and said, "How about the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance?"
The current Minister of Household Affairs is a confidant of the emperor. He was supposed to join the cabinet, but there was no good candidate to take over.
The appearance of Lin Ruhai made the emperor discover an opportunity.
First of all, Lin Ruhai's current official position is the official of Lantai Temple. This is the official position specially arranged for Lin Ruhai by the Supreme Emperor in order to ensure the salt administration of Yangzhou. It is the second rank, and it is suitable to take over as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Secondly, Lin Ruhai can be regarded as the confidant of the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor feels guilty towards Lin Ruhai, so if Lin Ruhai takes over as the Minister of Household Affairs, there will be no resistance from the Supreme Emperor.
In the end, Lin Ruhai was not short of money and had enemies with most of the nobles, so he was able to help the emperor tighten the Treasury's treasury.
The emperor does not want the money he has worked so hard to earn to be used for pleasure by those powerful people.
What's more important is that the purpose of the imperial concubine's marriage proposal is to weaken the noble's strength, not to let the noble noble empty his pockets.
