Prime Minister Lin Ruofu suddenly resigned from office, which surprised everyone in the court.
It is rumored that His Majesty the Emperor in the palace repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but to no avail, and finally had no choice but to agree to Prime Minister Lin's request to resign.
As soon as the news came out, it caused an earthquake in Emperor Qing’s court
Although many people in the court cursed the traitor in their hearts or privately, even Lin Ruo Fu's opponents all had to admit that Prime Minister Lin definitely took the greatest credit for Qing's ability to become the most powerful country on the continent.
As the number one scholar, Lin Ruofu, who had just entered the capital, showed off his talents.
Otherwise, how could Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had a distinguished status and extraordinary vision, fall in love with the newly promoted No. 1 scholar in the imperial court.
Lin Ruofu started as a small chief clerk in the Beijing Transportation Department, and then was transferred to Zhan Shifu as a minister, and then to the Twelve Guards Department of Nanya, and then to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Through the Hanlin Academy, he gradually entered the real core area of the Qing Dynasty court. After the New Deal, he entered the civil service department and served as the prime minister for thirty years.
Over the years, people in the court have even become accustomed to the Prime Minister standing at the head of the civil servants' row. The civil servants looked at his sleepy appearance and felt stable enough, so after knowing that Prime Minister Lin When Prime Minister Lin resigned and His Majesty the Emperor quickly agreed to return to his hometown of Wuzhou to retire, many people did not react for a while.
The downfall of such a character was not caused by throwing a pebble into the lake, but by the complete collapse of the boulders on the lake. The aftermath caused was far beyond the comparison of a small spring fraud.
"My father-in-law knew that this was His Majesty's intention, so he went to the palace to resign directly without any further hesitation."
"I know, but I am still a little reluctant to part with it. "
At the entrance to the west city of Kyoto, Lu Ze held Wan'er's arm. The latter's face was slightly pale, and he looked at the driver who had just left not long ago and gradually moved away. The driver turned into just a black spot. The moment he turned the corner, he completely disappeared from sight.
At the back of the car, only a few children were left with a strong sense of sadness in the wind.
After getting married, Wan'er gradually let go of her father who seemed strict but was actually full of paternal love. Every time she made an excuse to go to Lin Mansion to play with Dabao, but every time she didn't want to I hope I can see my father more often.
I just didn’t expect separation to be so unexpected.
On the other side of Lu Ze was his uncle, Lin Dabao, who had tears and snot running down his face. His second uncle, Lin Gong, just held the Ma Pu knife in his hand and remained silent without saying a word.
Lu Ze looked at these two uncles.
After my father-in-law returned to Wuzhou, the future of the Lin family completely rested on his uncle.
Lu Ze understood what Emperor Qing meant.
The court needs fresh blood to flow in, otherwise the huge court will slowly turn into a pool of stagnant water.
The Chunwei fraud only solved this problem on the surface.The disciples were all running to tell each other, but the actual effect of this matter was still somewhat lackluster. Emperor Qing knew that to solve this problem, he must use a heavy knife.
Even the six books of ministers are not enough to quench the thirst.
Coupled with the sudden rise of Lu Ze, the various performances of the East Palace Prince made Emperor Qing further speed up the process, so under such circumstances, Lin Ruofu had to leave the stage of history. .
The eldest princess is the initiator on the surface, the person who really made the decision is Emperor Qing, and the person responsible for delivering the knife in this incident is the Overwatch Council.
But later, when Chen Pingping wanted to put the sharpened knife in Xinyang, it was deliberately broken by Lu Ze. Moreover, Lu Ze had no intention of hiding it this time. Lin Cong killed Yuan. It is not a secret when it comes to Hongdao.
On the way back home, Wan'er in the car fell asleep leaning on Lu Ze's shoulder.
During this period, Wan'er was worried a lot about Lin Xiang's affairs. Although she knew that some things could not be changed by human power, she still felt a little sad when facing this situation.
"Husband."
"Yes"
"Brother seems to be returning to Beijing soon"
Wan'er suddenly opened her mouth Eye.
Lu Ze knew that the eldest brother Wan'er was talking about was not Lin Dabao in the carriage next door, but the eldest prince Li Chengshu.
He nodded, "According to the time, we should be able to come back from Dongyi City in about ten years. The last border victory was great. The great emperor brother's military exploits were not small. His Majesty also won the victory a year ago." I promised to be crowned king after entering the capital this time."
Wan'er frowned again.
As the mistress of the East Palace, Wan'er has gradually begun to put herself in this position to think about problems.
Originally, Wan'er had not been deeply aware of the turmoil hidden in the royal family, but after marriage, she gradually felt the alienation from the second emperor brother, although every time she saw Concubine Shu in the palace When she was young, the biological mother of the Second Emperor's brother still treated her very well, but it was inevitably mixed with some other things, just like a flawless white mirror with slight scratches on it, making it difficult to be the same as before.
No way.
This is reality.
Wan'er, who recognized this point, was keenly aware of how dangerous it was that His Majesty the Emperor was thinking of letting the eldest prince in Dongyi City return to the capital, and even grant him the title of king. Even the eldest prince I felt deeply uneasy, so I also took some actions in the last spring.
Lu Ze held Wan'er's hand tightly.
"Don't think so much."
"Your first priority now is to take good care of yourself, do you understand?"
Wan'er nodded firmly nodded.
The slightest sadness about his father leaving Beijing was hidden deep in his heart.
After all, no matter what the world is like, life has to go on day by day.
Over at the Supervisory Yuan, Chen Pingping was listening to the news about the murder of Yuan Hongdao.After reporting the case, General Manager Yan Ruohai softly read the files collected in his hand. In the empty darkroom, there were only the two top leaders of the Control Yuan.
This matter can easily be traced to the second son of the Lin family, because Lin Cong did not hide his whereabouts at all when he committed the murder.
However, at this time, it was impossible for Chen Pingping to arrest Communist Party Lin and send him to the Supervisory Yuan.
Emperor Qing finally got his wish and kicked Prime Minister Lin back to Wuzhou from the position of prime minister. Although on the surface, our Emperor repeatedly asked Lin Ruofu to stay in his original position. Still have to do enough.
Lin Ruofu's voluntary resignation left him with some affection for Emperor Qing.
So, Yuan Hongdao’s death can only be left alone.
Chen Pingping was just sorry that such an old man from the Oversight Council ended up dying in Kyoto in this way.
He expected that Lin Ruofu's temper would not save Yuan Hongdao's life in the end, but the second son of the Lin family suddenly took out his sword, and he went there the next day as Yuan Hongdao planned to When in Xinyang.
Chen Pingping’s eyebrows were drooped, and her shaven face was slightly pale.
"Dean."
"Yuan Hongdao did not go to the eldest princess as promised. Does this have any impact on our future plans?"
Hearing the words After Ruohai's words, Chen Pingping shook her head. The dean gently stroked the handle of her wheelchair. The smooth black handle had been rubbed by him over the years and had become somewhat reflective. "It doesn't hurt to miss Yuan Hongdao's move; but if it's because of This style of chess causes us to make random moves, which is why we are at a disadvantage. The eldest princess should let it go for a while. In May, she will return to Kyoto for the Xuankong Mountain Ancestor Festival. Then the Ming family will arrange a back-up plan. Then you can start to have an attack."
Yan Ruohai nodded silently.
He trusts and obeys the dean in front of him without any conditions.
"Your Majesty felt that he was ashamed of the Lin family in the matter of Prime Minister Lin, so the Lin family's house and the Lin family's properties in Kyoto were not touched at all, and the two young masters of the Lin family should have been entrusted to the East Palace. Over there."
Chen Pingping in the dark room nodded slightly, then picked up the shower and started watering the flowers, seemingly not paying much attention to this matter.
Yan Ruohai on the side hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Dean, Mr. Lin resigned and returned to his hometown to retire. Your Majesty obviously did it so that the man from the East Palace could smoothly take over the inner treasury. We are at the Ming family. The layout of the side is also what your Majesty wanted."
"Yes."
"But it is also what I want."
Yan Ruohai said silently.
Over the years, the person who knows the president best in the Kyoto Oversight Council is not the shadow hidden behind him. In fact, it is Yan Ruohai who is in charge of everything. He vaguely noticed that the current president seems to be different from the former president. Things are a little different when you grow up.
In April, the grass grows and the orioles fly.
His Royal Highness the eldest prince, who has been fighting abroad for many years, led two hundred personal guards in a fierce battle.Back in Kyoto, the new Minister of Rites led a group of people outside the West City Gate to greet His Highness, who had not returned to Kyoto for many years, with great respect.
His Majesty the Emperor once again mentioned the eldest prince’s title of king at the court meeting a few days ago.
Soon, the eldest prince who had been away from Kyoto for many years became another popular figure in Kyoto.
Although he has the blood of Dongyi flowing in his body, everyone is still confused. They don’t know the true intention of His Majesty the Emperor to make the eldest prince the king. It would be impossible for the eldest prince to sit on that throne in the future. , the Qing Kingdom attaches great importance to blood relations, and the eldest prince is destined to have no chance of being the supreme king from the moment he is born.
The only person in Kyoto who can guess Emperor Qing’s thoughts is the old black dog of the Overwatch Council.
Of course, there is also Lu Ze.
Lu Ze understood Emperor Qing’s intentions very well.
Our emperor just wants to test everyone around him, and even spends a lot of energy on it. The eldest prince’s title of king is undoubtedly the best manifestation, giving the eldest prince enough hope. This gave him the slightest chance to look at the throne.
Just like Emperor Qing gave the second prince Li Chengze the same hope.
In the first court meeting that the eldest prince attended after returning to Beijing, Lu Ze met this nominal eldest brother. He saw that the eldest prince’s eyes were bright, with a look of solemnity in his eyes, and his nose was straight. The cheekbones are slightly high, and he looks vaguely like a Dongyi person.
"My sons pay homage to my father"
The eldest prince came forward, kowtowed and carried his luggage.
Emperor Qing was quite satisfied with the changes brought to his eldest son by his experience at the border over the years.
Although there is no change in expression.
Emperor Qing waved his hand towards the eunuch who announced the edict, who stepped forward and read out the many rewards His Majesty had given to the eldest prince. Of course, the most important reward of becoming a king was not read out in this edict.
It’s just that no one expected that at the end, another not-so-small thing would pop up.
Emperor Qing proposed to marry the second prince Li Chengze and Ye Linger of the Ye family.
Many ministers were secretly surprised.
"Thank you, Father, for the gift of marriage."
"Thank you, Your Majesty for the gift of marriage."
I saw the second prince Li Chengze and the Kyoto garrison commander Ye Zhong coming out together. They lined up to pay homage to Emperor Qing. It seemed that they had received some advice from Emperor Qing before. Lu Ze noticed that many people were looking in his direction.
At the court, all the ministers felt that His Highness the Prince's fortune seemed to be not very good.
Some time ago, Guo Youzhi, the Minister of Rites, was brought in. More serious blows followed. The father-in-law, Prime Minister Lin Ruofu, resigned. The prince's party lost the most important support in the court. And today at the court, His Majesty rewarded two princes one after another.
Even the second prince, who had disappeared for a long time some time ago, wanted to marry the Ye family in Kyoto.
“Misery”
“The prince probably won’t be able to sleep at night.Have you slept?”
Most of the people’s voices expressed regret for Lu Ze.
Obviously, this His Highness is already a world away compared to the beginning, but the opponents around him But they have emerged one after another, and their power is not small. Although the eldest prince will hand over military power after becoming the king, the prestige he has accumulated among the kings over the years and the momentum of becoming the king will not be weak.
< p>After the court meeting, the second prince found Lu Ze in a good mood.Li Chengze was finally able to take a deep breath of fresh air at the door of Taiqing Palace.
Follow him. Marriage in the Ye family is only one aspect. The more important reason is that he knows that the truly powerful helper, the eldest princess, will return to Kyoto next month to participate in ancestor worship at Hanging Mountain. Li Chengze can faintly see that the position is getting closer and closer to him.
"Congratulations to the second emperor brother for marrying the daughter of the Ye family. "
Lu Ze's smile was sincere.
Li Chengze only thought that Lu Ze's smile was hypocritical. He humbly held his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. ”
The two chatted for a long time. Lu Ze looked at Li Chengze’s leaving figure and smiled dumbly.
It was obvious that he, the second emperor brother, was married to Ye Ling’er of the Ye family. The emperor's handiwork was just that the nature of the matter was similar to that of conferring a title on the eldest prince, and it even included the foreshadowing of the Ye family.
It can only be said that Emperor Qing indeed made the emperor a king. He is very skilled in mental manipulation.
It’s just that his extremely suspicious temperament makes him regard testing people’s hearts as part of his daily work.
“Brother Erhuang is engaged to Ling’er”< /p>
"Ah"
"How come I haven't heard anything about this matter?"
Wan'er in the East Palace Mansion frowned beautifully. His face looked a bit troubled.
Lu Ze smiled and said directly, "Have you been with Ye Ling'er during this time?"
Wan'er was about to speak. , instantly turned into a deflated balloon. During this period of time, she noticed that Ling'er didn't seem as close to her as before. However, Wan'er was still pregnant, and there was something wrong with the Lin family, but she didn't have much contact with her.
The couple talked for a long time at night.
Wan'er lay comfortably on Lu Ze's arm, with a look of happiness on her eyebrows.
" It seems that mother will be back soon."
Lu Ze sighed.
