Chapter 264 The sky falls

Author: My little carp

In the twenty-fifth year of Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qing passed away at his summer resort. The cabinet ministers opened the Secret Box of the Crown Prince and announced the secret decree written by Emperor Qing in the fourth year of Emperor Qing's reign, naming the emperor's second son Mian Ning as the crown prince.

On the same day, the Crown Prince returned to Beijing with the coffin of Emperor Daxing.

In August, Emperor Daxing was given the posthumous title of "Emperor of Suiyou Chongwenjing, Wuguangyu, filial piety, diligent, thrifty, wise, wise, wise and wise", and the temple name was Renzong.

In September, the prince summoned Lin Ruhai, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, back to Beijing to serve as the chief assistant of the cabinet.

In mid-September, after three recommendations and three speeches, the new emperor held a coronation ceremony and ascended the throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After a series of complicated and solemn ceremonies.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Standing in front of the throne, the prince looked down at the officials, his heart rising and falling.

He is now the supreme being in the world. He speaks out the Constitution of Heaven and follows the laws. He is the Son of Heaven!

From today on, the history books read by future generations will always remember his ancestor, Daoguang, who brought the new dynasty to an unprecedented prosperous age.

After a moment, Daoguang took a deep look at Lin Ruhai, the first civil servant who prostrated himself on the ground. He was the best and most capable minister under his father, but he was not his.

History will remember this moment!

After the ceremony, General Manager Chen went out to read out the imperial edict of accession to the throne. This was a strategy written by the ministers and the prince. It was also the new emperor's plan for the future governance of the country, for all officials and all the people in the world to see.

[One reward for hundreds of officials will be set as a permanent example...

Second, corruption

Three controls the canal, four controls the barbarians, bans smoking, bans the sea, and five controls the court]

When they read "Forbidden Sea", there was something wrong with the expressions of the officials. You must know that now only Guangdong and Guangxi are there, the court deals with barbarian countries openly and can earn tens of millions of taels of tax revenue from shipping every year.

Don’t want so much money?

That's just right. If the imperial court doesn't do it, they do it secretly in their own family. This light understands them.

Managing the court, doesn't that correspond to governing the Lin family? Some officials quickly looked secretly at Lin Ruhai at the front.

The Lin family has been suffering for a long time, and it turns out that the new emperor is a wise man. At the beginning of his accession to the throne, with great righteousness and great momentum, he plowed the courtyard and cleared the holes, and restored a bright world to the court.

As for the dreams I had recently, everyone thought they were something I thought about every day and dreamed about at night.

After all, according to common sense, dreams are reversed. The Lin family becomes emperor, flourishes and then declines. This does not mean that the Lin family is coming to an end.

OK!

After reading the imperial edict, Daoguang stood with his hands behind his hands, standing on the Jinluan Hall, looking down at Lin Ruhai below: "Lin Aiqing, cabinet scholar and governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, do you have any objections?"

Lin Ruhai clasped his fists: "We have no objections."

Daoguang nodded with satisfaction. This Lin Ruhai knew faces. If he were an ordinary person, he would of course give up and figure it out slowly.

But he is different, who is he, the emperor through the ages!

He still deeply remembered what Emperor Qing said before he left: Kill, kill, kill to make things clear! Naturally, it is necessary to cut through the mess quickly.

After another complicated etiquette, Manager Chen shouted loudly.

"If you have something to do, start to act, if nothing happens, leave the court!"

After waiting for a while, Lin Ruhai said directly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am very old and exhausted physically and mentally. I am no longer able to handle the world's political affairs. How can I ask for the remains to take care of myself?"

After all, Emperor Qing had a good relationship with him, and he really didn't want to make things irreversible, otherwise he would not feel comfortable going down to have tea with Emperor Qing a hundred years later.

Emperor Daoguang said coldly: "No!"

Lin Ruhai sighed and returned to his position.

The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!" Shi Ding, the historian, and Marquis Zhongjing stood up and said loudly.

The first time Shi Jia supported the former prince, the incident failed and his father was killed. The second time he supported Prince Yohitada again, but the incident failed and the family property was confiscated and he was kept away from the central government.

As the saying goes, this can happen once, twice, but not again. Now that he is on the side of the emperor who has ascended the throne and holds the imperial power, can he still fail?

Moreover, looking at Lin Ruhai's current expression, he has already resigned himself to his fate. Isn't that the best time to beat up the drowned dog?

Watch me lead the charge!

Daoguang frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with someone suing his father's most trusted minister: "Say!"

Shi Ding pointed at Lin Ruhai, impassioned and with eyes wide open: "The minister wants to accuse Lin Ruhai of ten crimes:

1: The father and daughter of the Lin family rode straight into the left gate and passed through the Zhengda Guangming Hall. They had no father and no king, nothing could be further from the truth;

2: Relying on her father's power, the daughter of the Lin family was carried into the palace on a chair and sedan chair, and walked in and out of the Shenwu Gate on a carriage, in front of everyone, without any scruples;

Three: The Lin Mansion takes in women who have left the palace, regardless of their integrity;

Four: When Lin Ruhai was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, there were wars all over the country, but Guangdong and Guangxi were the only ones who were peaceful and happy. It must be because he colluded with the White Lotus Sect to provide food, grass and armaments. This was a waste of consideration for human relations and only sought stability.

Five: When Emperor Qing was seriously ill, Lin Ruhai had no worries. He returned home for the first time and talked and laughed with his children as usual;

Six: nepotism and control of government affairs in Guangdong and Guangxi;

Seven: Controlling the military affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi, setting up private courts for punishment, disregarding the law, and other specialties, too numerous to mention.

8: The governor-general of Guangdong and Guangxi, Lin's Mansion, has a large amount of gold, silver, gems, clothes and other items, numbering in excess of tens of millions, and some of them are missing from the inner palace.

9: He ignored national laws, privately reduced taxes and corvees for the people, returned wages to the people, and unfairly competed with other regions, causing unrest among the people of the world.

10: Governor Lin united with the local gentry to control the price of salt, iron and grain to compete with the people for profit.

Lin Ruhai, the guilty minister, ignored the friendship between the late emperor and his ministers, deceived the Holy One, belittled the sick people of the country, and was a few like the thieves of Sichuan and Chu. He was corrupt and debauched. He is truly a shameless villain!"

After finishing his words, Shi Ding continued: "The humble ministers ask the Holy One to judge, punish the traitors, and restore peace to the world!"

Then many people from among the officials came out one after another, knelt down and loudly echoed.

"Kill the traitors and restore peace to the world!"

The King of Beijing in front was a little confused. What's the situation? Are we not our own people? Why didn't he be notified of such a major incident?

Guangdong and Guangxi’s annual income, commercial taxes, and shipping are nearly 100 million taels, and he wants it too.

After hesitating for a moment, he thought about it and decided to forget it. The icing on the cake would have little effect. Besides, his wife and Lin Daiyu were also close friends, so the money was not worth it.

After the ministers finished speaking, Daoguang looked at Lin Ruhai and said in a deep voice: "Lin Aiqing, what else do you have to say?"

Lin Ruhai clasped his fists: "I have nothing to say, I am a humble minister."

After all, there's no point in trying to incriminate someone.

Daoguang let out a long sigh: "When my father was dying, he was still teaching me, Lin Aiqing, how to make decisions. Guangfeng Jiyue asked me to discuss big things with you before making decisions.

But I never expected that Lin Aiqing would commit so many catastrophic disasters over the years.

But if I want to kill you, my father’s body is still cold. As a son, I would be too unfilial.

I heard that the Jia family has a large garden with winding paths and secluded views. I want to lock up the Lin family in this courtyard. Since the Lin family has an irreversible relationship with the Jia family, they will take care of it.

Secondly, although Lin Aiqing made a big mistake, she worked hard and achieved great results over the years and was able to live a long life.

In the future, when I and all the officials work hard to build a prosperous world, Lin Aiqing can also take a look on behalf of my father. He has not chosen the wrong person!

Lin Aiqing, what do you think?"

Emperor Daoguang asked with a smile.

Lin Ruhai remained silent.

"You are impudent, Lin Ruhai. Your Majesty is kind and kind. Are you still not satisfied with this treatment? You have to kill everyone in your family?" Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue cursed.

Over the years, Emperor Qing had repeatedly wanted to touch him. As a result, every night, the concubine wanted to do something wrong, and he did not have the energy to calm down and enlighten the concubine.

Was he greedy for a little money? What did he do wrong?

"Lin Aiqing!" Daoguang said dissatisfied.

He thought that he had done his best by doing this, so did Lin Ruhai insist on forcing him to go too far?

"Boom boom boom~"

Suddenly, a group of troops rushed directly into the hall.

"Qiang, Qiang, Qiang~" The Imperial Guards and the Jinwu Guards drew their swords at the officials.

Daoguang took a closer look and saw that the leader was actually a young girl, with skin as bright as snow and a delicate appearance. More importantly, she was dressed in a red dragon robe, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, looking domineering and majestic.

"Which army are you? Do you want to rebel? Where are my personal guards? Come in to protect us!" Daoguang stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at everyone.

Before that, he was naturally fully prepared. Under gunfire, all living beings are equal.

Lin Luofeng behind the girl clasped her fists: "I'm here."

Daoguang:???
