Chapter 169 Buddhism is originally a pure place, and there is nothing to do to attract dust
Jiang Yingrong bestowed the Taoist name Wuyou, the implication of which is not difficult to guess. I hope that in this life, I can be free from Daiyu's worries, free from Daiyu's worries, and be a truly open-minded and open-minded free person.
As soon as Jiang Yingrong finished speaking, there was a voice, "The imperial decree has arrived." Ruian held the imperial decree in his hand, followed by a dozen young eunuchs holding gift boxes and trays.With a smile on his face, he walked up to Jiang Yingrong: "Yuanjun, our family has come to congratulate you at the order of His Majesty, please don't kneel and listen to the order."
"By God's blessing, the emperor said, congratulate Taizhen Yuan Jun on his joy in accepting disciples, and bestow on Yuan Jun's disciple a jade handle, a set of jade bowls, jade butterflies, and jade plates, a string of south pearls, a dendrobium of east pearls, hollowed-out carved crystals Hairpin, pear and white jade hairpin with leftover fragrance, ten bolts of brocade and satin."
"Little real Wuyou, accept the decree." Ryan handed the imperial decree to Daiyu with a smile, and Daiyu respectfully accepted it, saying: "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Then they knelt down and listened together The purpose is also to thank you before getting up.
The emperor's move was to help Daiyu maintain the scene, otherwise he would not have deliberately rushed to send a congratulatory gift after the completion of the ceremony.Even because Daiyu became Jiang Yingrong's disciple, she reconsidered Lin Ruhai's application to return to Beijing.According to the emperor's original intention, Lin Ruhai would have to stay in Yangzhou for two more years. After all, it is not easy to achieve the current relatively balanced situation, and changing someone might be counterproductive.Salt administration has always been a headache, and the emperor really couldn't bear to see the situation, which had been getting better, deteriorate and become a mess again.
So far, Lin Ruhai's achievements have shown that the emperor is relatively satisfied. Before he sent Lin Ruhai to Yangzhou to concurrently serve as the inspector of salt, the emperor issued a secret decree, ordering Lin Ruhai to "accept bribes" according to the decree. Gather evidence.The salt administration is deeply rooted and involves huge interests. If an upright and extremely clean official is really sent there, it is estimated that he will die in less than half a year.On the one hand, it is to protect Lin Ruhai, and on the other hand, it wants to fill the national treasury, so this secret purpose came into being.
Fortunately, Lin Ruhai has grasped the scale very well these years, which basically reassured the salt merchants and officials in the Jianghuai area, and secretly handed over a lot of silver to the treasury.Of course, it is true that the Lin family has a million snowflakes of silver. They passed the Ming Road in front of the emperor. After collecting so much silver, they can't show a poor look. This is not to make the enemy think too much. ?
This is how in the original book, even if Lin Ruhai died, all the properties of the Lin Mansion were swallowed up by the Rongguo Mansion.According to the laws of Daqi, the family of extinct households must turn over [-]% of their property to the court.The emperor thought about Lin Ruhai's hard work all his life and died in office, and helped him collect a lot of evidence of collusion between officials and businessmen, so he deliberately didn't mention this matter.It's just that Lin Ruhai originally thought that if he gave away millions of dollars to the Rongguo Mansion, he would get his only daughter a happy ending. He didn't realize that the people in the Rongguo Mansion were not popular enough, and they were unwilling to treat Daiyu well after the money was spent. Let Daiyu die in tears.
However, it is different now.Lin Ruhai's daughter became Jiang Yingrong's only apprentice. For future considerations, the emperor could not allow Lin Ruhai and his wife to stay in Yangzhou, where the dark tide was turbulent and the situation was changing, and continue to spend their time in the position of patrolling salt censor.After thinking about it, it's better to put it in a relatively safe place, so that Lin Daiyu has no possibility of becoming an orphan.Kuang, the people in the cabinet saw that it was time for a change of term, and the new successor would inevitably rebuild the power of the cabinet in the future, so Lin Ruhai was a good candidate.
Moreover, the situation is quite different now. The national treasury is much richer due to the rectification of the Buddhist sect, so it will not continue to use this method of accepting bribes to enrich it. The emperor does not need to weigh so much when he finds someone to replace Lin Ruhai. Loyal enough to be able to move between Lianghuai salt merchants and local officials with ease.When the time comes, it's time for the Lianghuai Salt Administration to clean up.
In this way, there is no suspense about Lin Ruhai's return to Beijing. It is only a matter of time. After a suitable successor is determined, the whole family can naturally return to Beijing for a reunion.
Two years passed quickly, and many things happened one after another in the capital city in the past two years.
The first thing is that Jiang Yingrong still maintains the appearance of a seven or eight-year-old girl. For three or four years in a row, she has not grown at all. Jiang Yingrong basically no longer has hope for height.She herself didn't really care, but Daiyu, Chengwang and the others, even the emperor, were worried that this matter would have too much impact on Jiang Yingrong, so they tried to avoid mentioning such topics in their daily speech, for fear of arousing Jiang Yingrong's suspicion.
After two years of pondering and research, 738 and Jiang Yingrong can only attribute the problem of not growing tall to the golden light of merit.After all, with a mortal body, if it weren't for Jiang Yingrong's strong spirit and 738 watching over her, maybe Xichun's body would explode and die the moment the golden light of merit entered her body.Now it is only a small sequelae, which is considered a blessing in misfortune.
But outsiders don't know the reason for the golden light of merit. The only king Yong who heard it from Yuanyi of Puji Temple thought that the golden light of merit was brought into the world when he was born.
As a result, there were rumors outside that the Supreme Master was the reincarnation of a goddess, and came here to protect the world, especially the peace talisman that was distributed when he was accepting apprentices two years ago, which saved many people, big and small.As a result, the world became more convinced of the Goddess's words, and each legend was magical, with noses and eyes, which made Jiang Yingrong shake her head every time, only to find it funny.In her previous life, she praised Daiyu as the reincarnation of a goddess, and it was her turn in this life. This feeling is indeed a karmic cycle.
The second thing was the three waste princes. This time, the waste prince's family was directly expelled from the East Palace and imprisoned in a house that had been abandoned for a long time.The two times before when the emperor abolished the crown prince, he was only locked in the East Palace and not driven out of the palace. This time, he acted so vigorously to let everyone understand that the lineage of the crown prince really fell into the quagmire and could never come out again. The heart no longer supports the prince.
After this wave of operations, the competition for the future crown prince has entered a fierce situation.Especially the eighth prince's lineage, and the fourteenth prince's lineage who are compatriots with King Yong's mother are gradually showing their ambitions. Now the two high-profile candidates for the crown prince in the court are Eighth Lord and Fourteenth Lord.For a moment, the two were in the limelight, and the other brothers did not dare to raise their heads to compete with them.
Ba Ye now has a son-in-law, and seeing that the throne is just around the corner, the emperor shows his love and expectations for him from time to time, Ba Ye only feels that the throne is in his pocket, and it is easy to get, and he is full of ambitions for his usual gentle behavior Complacent, high-spirited instead.People come and go in the Eighth Prince's Mansion every day, and there is an endless stream of guests. Compared with the deserted and quiet Yongwang Mansion, which has few guests, it seems to be honored and loved.Ba Ye only felt that the evil spirit that had been suppressed in his heart for many years had completely dissipated, and finally he was proud for a while.
Although the Fourteenth Master is not as popular as the Eighth Master, it is not much different. The emperor handed over hundreds of thousands of troops from the northwest to the Fourteenth Master. He was sent to the northwest to defeat Beidi a year ago. value.And the emperor has no intention of taking back the soldier talisman yet, and everyone is guessing that this is to hand over the Northwest Army to the Fourteenth Lord.
One is highly respected by the courtiers, and the other holds military power. It is really difficult to compare which one is higher and lower for a while.The emperor sat on a high position, watched the two sides fight with cold eyes, and waited quietly for the opportunity to come.
The third thing is that some strange things have happened one after another in the capital in the past two years, most of them are among the rich and powerful, because it is really rare and there are people behind the back to spread it.Some are suffering from strange diseases that prevent people from seeing others, some are suffering from insanity, and some are suffering from unlucky things happening one after another...
These people wanted to cover them at first, but later found that even if they tried their best, they would always be stabbed out in inexplicable ways, and some even ran out on the street and yelled. Who can blame this.
For example, the second master of the governing stallion's family, who was born with a big and thick appearance, suddenly ran into the Nanfeng Pavilion in disheveled clothes one morning and shouted that he wanted to sell himself and become a rabbit master in the Nanfeng Pavilion.The aristocrats who are used to visiting the Nanfeng Pavilion almost spit out the overnight meal after learning about it. This person really has a big face, and I don’t know where his confidence comes from. He rushed to smash his own signboard.Because of this Erye Ma's affectionate self-recommendation, the business of the Men's House has plummeted, and the angry old bustard wants to chop Erye Ma into pieces, but he dare not really do it, after all, there is a ruler behind him The public is backing up.I can only persuade him with good words, but this second master Ma is determined not to leave. When the Zhiguogong sent someone to arrest him and go back, he even used his hands and feet to grab the big pillar of the Nanfeng Pavilion and refused to leave. Weeping, he was more sad than his own father. , Provoking people from the three floors inside and outside the three floors to watch the excitement.
Another example is Jingnan Wang Geng's family, the most favored young master got Hualiu disease, his limbs are sore and weak, pustules of all sizes are all over his body, and he howls like killing a pig every time he urinates. After inviting them all over, they all shook their heads and waved their hands. This was the most serious disease they had ever seen in their lives, and it was an eye-opener.
There is also the Liu family of the old family, the future heir had bad luck one after another. First, he was shocked by the horse while riding a horse, fell like a dog and ate shit, and knocked out a front tooth.In ancient times, there was no technology for repairing teeth, and such a shameful thing can't be talked about by heirs.That's not to mention, choking on drinking water, falling while walking, farting in public...these are countless, and in the end, the heir of the Liu family was so scared that he only dared to hide in the room tremblingly, not daring to take a step out of the room to eat and drink. The water has to be careful, for fear of choking and belching.
In addition to other strange things, I won't go into details one by one.Speaking of this, I think everyone understands why these people suddenly became abnormal. This is Jiang Yingrong's last move to make those who abused Xichun in the previous life pay off their debts one by one, and give them a chance to redeem their sins.
There are so many strange things like this, some of them want to go to Lingyi, and they spent a lot of money and entrusted a lot of connections to find Jiang Yingrong, Jiang Yingrong didn't say no, she took the money, sighed, and just said: " If there is a cause, there will be an effect, this is repaying the evil debt, forgive the poor and helpless." Then they closed the door to see off the guests, each family spent money, and people didn't like it, but they dared not speak out.Some knew the inside story, and some were kept in the dark and went back to investigate, but they could only sigh and confess, not daring to leak a single point. Those who did bad things and were punished naturally became abandoned children, and could no longer be like their previous lives. Generally evil.
