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, old friends, and even his family.
"Ziying, do you mean the Jia family?" Lin Ruhai asked in a deep voice.
"Uncle, in fact, you know better than anyone else 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 we have to think deeper, so as not to fall into the quagmire and be unable to extricate ourselves without realizing it. The Supreme Emperor
There is also a looming Prince Yoshitaka in the relationship between you and the emperor. I don’t believe you can’t see it, nephew. So 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 evading 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 just gave him some more choices. He could give Feng Ziying some resources that he thought were excellent and valuable, while those that were difficult could not be thrown away even if they got involved, and they might even be involved in endless conflicts.
The shit that comes with risk and trouble, just let him die in his 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, and just sipped her tea and waited quietly.
He believed that the other party could understand this truth. Sometimes when you step into the court or the world, it is impossible for you to quit, and even your reputation will be ruined, and you will not be able to escape.
After a long time, Lin Ruhai slowly raised his gaze, 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 my nephew can see it clearly, but that he is in it. The authorities are obsessed with it. My nephew is the bystander who can see it clearly. Maybe after another year and a half, my 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 have left Yu'er to you, and Uncle Wei also believes that you can protect her safety and happiness throughout her life, Miaoyu,..."
Lin Ruhai shook his head, now is not the time to talk about this matter, "What do you want to ask?"
"Well, uncle thinks that the nephew's problem just now is too big?" Feng Ziying was also happy to see Lin Ruhai put away the burden of her heart, "Then my nephew will ask more carefully, why was Prince Yi Zhongliang the crown prince deposed in the end?
"
Feng Ziying actually knew something about this issue and had some guesses about it, but many people kept it secret, so if he had the chance today, he would ask clearly.
Based on Lin Ruhai's original special position in the Supreme Emperor's system, many seemingly complex and confusing puzzle questions should have an answer. At least Lin Ruhai can provide information for himself to clearly see the trend and make judgments.
"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 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 Supreme 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 dethronement should be related to women. The prince had an affair with a concubine of the Supreme Emperor..."
Lin Ruhai's tone was very calm.
A hero cannot pass the beauty test, not to mention that Prince Yoshitaka is not much of a hero. Didn’t he himself also fail to pass the beauty test, and that’s why he got Miaoyu and is now in a state of distress?
As expected, it was related to the incest in the palace. However, Feng Ziying still found it a bit unbelievable that the prince was deposed because of this. The stinky man was dirty. There is no precedent for such things. If he was deposed because of this, he would be deposed.
The prince who has been a prince for decades is inevitably a bit incredible.
"Well, that imperial concubine was deeply loved by the Supreme Emperor, but later she got involved with the Prince..." Lin Ruhai felt a little embarrassed to speak, "..., it is said that the Supreme Emperor gave birth to a daughter...
I wanted to give her death, but she was imprisoned because she was pregnant, but later,..."
Seeing that Lin Ruhai just shook his head but refused to go on, he probably felt that it was inconvenient to expose such dirty facts in front of his future son-in-law, and 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 ministers of the imperial court, and
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 prince had stayed calm and kept a low profile after his restoration, the throne would still have been passed 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 seize it and ultimately lost the opportunity. This is because the current emperor has been on the throne for seven or eight years and still follows the rules without making any big moves. This is actually the case before.
Prince Yohitada was too powerful inside and outside the court and in the local area, and the Emperor was too tolerant of Prince Yohitada.
It can be said that important ministers 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 an implicit and euphemistic way, Feng Ziying couldn't help but take a breath of air-conditioning.
No wonder Emperor Yonglong is still so low-key and forbearing, and no wonder Prince Yi Zhong still thinks 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 Yizhong, 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 caring about them. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty accepted his sister-in-law, and Li Zhi married his father's concubine, which could not hide his great reputation.
The prime ministers and assistants were all people who had a lot of connections back then. 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 during the era had nothing to do with Prince Yi Zhong. I am afraid this was one of the main reasons why Emperor Yonglong used them.
Based on this alone, Feng Ziying estimated that her father's promotion to the governor of the three sides would mean that he would not have to run away.
"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 where brothers fight 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 so obedient now, but the more he behaves like this, the more violent it will be in the end. The Supreme Emperor has been in charge of the emperor for decades, so he 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 my uncle. Are you not afraid of being known by the emperor?" Feng Ziying touched on 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 emperor and the emperor have a tacit understanding on the income of the Lianghuai Salt Service. If the 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 that Prince Yi Zhong wants to take the money from me, whether it is Yanyin or not, it must be written in the handwriting of the Supreme Emperor or
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 salt merchants can sell his accounts is another matter."
So simple? 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 Yizhong 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 governor 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..."
