Chapter 154 Lin Hai 17 (2 in 1)
When Lin Hai followed the little eunuch out of the gate of the Supreme Emperor's palace, his back was dripping with cold sweat, and his official uniform collapsed on his back.Wrapped in the heat of the evening, with the combination of hot and cold, I couldn't help but sneezed a few times.
The little eunuch who led the way looked at Lin Hai sympathetically.
Lin Hai took off the handkerchief covering his mouth and nose, and took out a purse for the little inner prisoner.The little inner eunuch immediately took him away without showing any signs of expression, took Lin Hai out of the palace quickly, sent Lin Hai to the teahouse in front of the officials' department, and helped him upstairs.
Lin Jin and the others who followed Lin Hai saw Lin Hai approaching from a distance, and they had already come down from upstairs to meet him.Lin Jin thanked the little inner supervisor again and again, rewarded him with a purse, helped Lin Hai to the private room, and told the person who brought it to go back to the house to pick up the car, and then asked the doctor to prepare it in the house.
Lin's car came quickly, and Lin Jin carried Lin Hai downstairs, and sent Lin Hai to the car. Before the car started, Lin Hai couldn't hold on anymore, and leaned on the car seat.
Lin Jin quickly got into the car, hugged Lin Hai, and ordered the car to be safe, and return home quickly.
"Master, are you all right? Don't fall asleep."
Along the way, Lin Jin kept talking to him, and Lin Hai just responded with a hush, relying on Lin Jin's support to prevent him from collapsing.
The car entered Lin's mansion and rushed directly to the outer study. Lin Jin supported him in the car, while Lin Cheng and Lin Qian continued outside. The three took Lin Hai to the bedroom in the yard of the outer study.The doctor came in together, first felt Lin Hai's pulse, and then took out the silver needle and gave Lin Hai acupuncture at Hegu, Neiguan, and Tanzhong points. Seeing that Lin Hai gradually calmed down, he gave Lin Hai a decoction after pulling out the needle.
"Lord Lin, you have lost your mind, causing cold and evil to enter your body, and you are infiltrated by heat. As the saying goes, fire is wrapped in ice. Your body is weak, your internal organs are not healthy, and you are anxious and depressed. I am afraid that you will be sick for a while. Already. Take a dose of Suppressant first, get some sleep, and let’s talk about it later.”
Lin Hai nodded, Lin Cheng hurriedly passed the prescription to Lin Hai, Lin Hai glanced at it, nodded slightly, Lin Cheng took the prescription and took the doctor down.
The servant guarding the yard came in to report: "Mr. Zhou and Mr. Hu are here."
Lin Hai said, "Come in, please." He then ordered Lin Qian to stay in the Lin residence overnight with his doctor.
Zhou Ming and Hu Wen came in, and the two of them walked to the front, looking at the sluggish Lin Hai, Zhou Ming hurriedly asked: "Dong Weng, what's the matter?"
Hu Wen also asked anxiously and concernedly, "Ru Hai, what's the matter?"
"It's a pass."
Both of them let out a long breath.
Lin Hai braced himself and said to the two: "The Ministry of Officials has already planned for the three of you. I'm afraid they will send you to Yangzhou. I don't know the details. You two will go to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow to find Cheng Shilang, and we will find out. "
The two bowed to Lin Hai to the end.
"Dong Weng is cultivated in this way, Kuang Ming Wunei is grateful for Dong Weng Ende."
"I don't dare to thank you for your kindness. Ruhai treats me like a reborn parent."
When both of them were young, they started their careers smoothly, but every time Chun Wei came back in failure, he gave up his official career and made a living from behind the scenes.These years following Lin Hai has also made a lot of money, and I don't want to have a day when I will directly embark on an official career, so I am extremely grateful.
"Don't thank me. I'm in a hurry to ascend the throne today, and I'm short of manpower. After you leave office, don't be greedy for money—the treasury is empty. I'm afraid that the saints will punish corruption with cruel hands in the future; two, don't have delusional thoughts, just follow today and do a good job." It is my duty, otherwise, if something goes wrong, there is nothing I can do. You also know that I am also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, when I cannot protect myself."
Zhou Ming and Hu Wen's expression froze. They were people who had followed Lin Hai for many years. Influenced by Lin Hai's behavior style, they were cautious in everything. They also highly respected Lin Hai's judgment on the general situation of the court, and immediately solemnly agreed.It just so happened that Lin Cheng took the medicine bowl, and Lin Qian also followed in, and the two left.
Lin Hai held the medicine bowl and blew it, then drank it, took the tea from Lin Jin, and rinsed his mouth slightly.Said to Lin Cheng and the others: "You three should work harder tonight. Instead of keeping someone to watch the night, I must keep one of you in this room. I can't trust anyone else. Lin Qian, go tell the eldest girl , I have heatstroke, let Qingmei and the others take good care of the eldest girl."
Lin Cheng and others quickly responded. Lin Qian and Lin Jin called Gui Ni over to wipe Lin Hai's body, helped Lin Hai change into comfortable underwear, and helped Lin Hai to lie down. fell asleep.
Lin Cheng looked at Lin Hai's bruised and swollen knees, and hurriedly ordered someone to pour hot water on Lin Hai's legs, and took the Lin family's secret bruise ointment, and slowly rubbed Lin Hai to loosen the bruises.
Lin Hai started to have a fever gradually when he fell asleep until he was ugly.Lin Qian, who was on duty, quickly invited the doctor.The doctor first injected needles into the thenar points of Lin Hai's hands, then wiped his body with hot water, and then gave him fever-reducing decoction.At the end of Yinshi, Lin Hai was sweating profusely, and the temperature began to drop. Lin Jin, who took over, brought someone to help Lin Hai wipe his body, change his underwear, and bedding.
Lin Jin was very worried, the doctor comforted him and said: "My lord has been weak for a long time, the lungs are the most delicate of the five internal organs, and the cold and heat are the most prone to attack. This is the time when the fever comes out, and the internal heat comes out. Although it looks fierce and scary, it is nothing. After the cold and heat in the body dissipate, and take care of it slowly, the body will be better than before."
Up to now, Lin Jin can only listen to the doctor. Fortunately, Lin Hai didn't continue to have a fever. Lin Jinfang put his heart back in his stomach, and asked the boy to send the doctor to the next yard to rest.
Chen Chu Lin Hai woke up slowly, exhausted, but he felt unspeakably relaxed, knowing that it was the heavy load accumulated in his body, and took this opportunity to burst out.
He beckoned Lin Jin to help him to relieve himself, and then lay back down after washing.
Lin Cheng brought someone in, "Master, what do you want for breakfast? The eldest girl came to see you, but the younger one coaxed you back because you were still sleeping."
"Just eat something light. Don't let the eldest girl come over, so as not to make her sick."
After Lin Hai ate breakfast, the doctor came over to take his pulse again and re-prescribed the prescription.The doctor comforted them and said: "My lord has a strong inner breath, take two doses of this prescription first, and I will come back for consultation tomorrow."
Lin Hai nodded, and ordered Lin Cheng to pay the consultation fee thickly and send the doctor out.Lin Qian came to replace Lin Jin to rest. Lin Hai told Lin Jin: "You have a good rest in the morning, and in the afternoon, send the post to Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Li of the Imperial Academy, and Rongguo Mansion. Just say that I have suffered from heatstroke. When I feel better, I will post to visit again.”
Lin Jin obeyed Lin Hai's order and went out.
Lin Cheng came over with the boiled medicine, and together with Lin Qian, he served Lin Hai to drink the medicine.The two who have followed Lin Hai for more than 30 years are already very familiar.After drinking the medicine, Lin Hai said to the two of them: "During the day, you two go to arrange the affairs of the house, and let your two families and the boys of Lin Jin's family come to this yard to serve you. The medicine is only for you The three fried it, but it passed through the hands of others."
Lin Cheng nodded. Although the mansion has been rectified several times, it is still not possible to replace all the people who married Jia Min as dowries.There were a few annoying things that happened last year. It was nothing more than unwillingness to be reconciled to the death of Jia Min, and the children who were married to Jia Min were exchanged to Zhuangzi.This time when he went to Beijing, Lin Hai asked Lin Qian to clean up and clean up. He only brought the children of the Lin family who were not married to the Jia family.Lin Qian understood that Lin Hai was planning to remarry, and the Annan county master who didn't want to remarry had a difficult time taking over the housework, but the Lin family had several generations of children, and they were connected and related. The child-bearing slaves can't think about it, and do something out of the ordinary for the nephew and other relatives.
The two asked people to call the boys from several families over, guarded in the yard, and then went to arrange many chores at home.
Lin Hai was lying on the bed, as if he was resting, but what he was thinking about was the scene of seeing the present and the Supreme Emperor yesterday.
Today, Lin Hai was very happy to surrender, and he was even more happy with Lin Hai's secret account, which had offered salt tax, and asked the internal supervisor to set up a seat for Lin Hai.Today, he inquired carefully about the affairs of the Lianghuai Salt Administration. Lin Hai looked at the saint in a good mood, and hurriedly pushed all the secret accounts of the Yan Administration to the Empress, but gritted his teeth and told the truth as soon as possible.
"Saint, apart from the saint, Prince Yizhong, Lord Zhongjing, Lord Zhongshun, and Lord Zhongxiao all used to coerce his ministers. I have no choice but to withdraw money to several princes in the hidden tent of the Supreme Supreme."
"Does your majesty know?"
"I don't know if the Supreme Master knows." Lin Hai knelt on the floor tiles again, not daring to raise his head.
The room was so silent that a needle could be heard falling.
After a while, Jinshang Youyou said, "Lin Aiqing, get up. I know that if you don't give money to my brothers, you won't be able to live today. Everything in the past is over, and you have to think about it in the future."
Lin Hai hurriedly kowtowed to show his loyalty, and then got up with the support of the inner eunuch.
After the monarchs and ministers were seated, the inner eunuch brought tea to Lin Hai. After a few sips, the inner eunuch sent by the Supreme Emperor of the Palace of Mercy summoned Lin Hai to have an audience with him at the Palace of Mercy.
The sage had no choice but to say to Lin Hai: "Lin Aiqing, go and see the Supreme Being."
Lin Hai bid farewell to Jinshang, and went to see the Supreme Emperor with the eunuch.Cheng Yin told Jin Shang about Lin Hai's suggestion to let Jia She go to the Ministry of War.
This Cheng Yin has been with Jinshang for almost 30 years, and it can be said that he is the most trusted person in Jinshang.Thinking about Lin Hai's proposal today, if Jia Amnesty is effective, it can indeed tear a hole in the Ministry of War, so I also think this proposal is very good.
"Fansen, you go back and think about it first, and let Enhou go to any position in the Ministry of War. I go to the Palace of Mercy, afraid that the Supreme Emperor will embarrass Lin Ruhai because of the secret account."
Cheng Yin nodded, and told Lin Hai's suggestion to the Ministry of War that he wanted to go to the Mercy Palace to save Lin Hai today.
When the saint arrived at the Mercy Palace, the Supreme Emperor was already furious, and Lin Hai had already knelt in the hall under the anger of the Supreme Supreme.In front of Lin Hai's knees was a broken teacup.
Standing outside the palace gate, the sage could hear the sage roaring, "Lin Hai, I have been promoted for so many years, you, you, you rebellious."
The saint didn't wait for the eunuch to communicate, and hurried in.Seeing the son in his succession, the Supreme Master restrained his anger a bit, and asked coldly, "What is the sage doing here?"
"The son came to see the father."
The Supreme Emperor looked and looked between his son and Lin Hai, and told the saint, "Sit down. Did Lin Hai give you the secret account of the Jiangnan salt tax?"
The saint quickly responded: "Yes, Father. The Northwest and the South have been entangled with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households for a long time because of the food and salaries of officers and soldiers. This money can just solve the urgent need."
There is no money in the household department, and the plight of the court is stretched, which is also one of the reasons for the abdication of the emperor.Now the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites are opposed to the reappearance of the emperor, and only the Ministry of War is still supporting the emperor. If the money is given to the Ministry of War by Jinshang... the emperor stares at Lin Hai with hatred, his eyes are burning, and he wishes to see Lin Hai It was burned to ashes, dragged down and chopped...
Lin Hai knelt there, not daring to move, tightening his body, subconsciously wanting to shrink his own existence.There were icebergs everywhere in the main hall, and the cold air curled up. Lin Hai clasped his fingers on the floor tiles before walking outside under the sun. He was covered in hot sweat and wrapped in the cold air from the main hall of the Mercy Palace, Lin Hai felt his body chilling intermittently.
"Father, the money will still be used by the imperial court. I will send the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household to come over, okay?"
Imam's words eased Taishang's emotions, and Imam hurriedly sent the inner eunuch to pass on to the Minister of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Household Affairs.When the inner eunuch reported that the two ministers had come, he pleaded with the empress and said, "Father, Lin Ruhai has made great contributions to rectifying the Lianghuai salt administration, let him go down."
"Successful? Hmph, he is a rebellious minister in his bones."
"Father, the Minister of Military Affairs and the Minister of Household Affairs are here."
"You change Lin Hai to Beijing, where do you want him to go?"
"Go to the Ministry of Rites to be the right servant." The saint said leisurely.
"Okay, he's really my good son." The Taishang knew that his son brought Lin Hai into his sphere of influence, but as a servant of the Ministry of Rites, he might as well be sent to Yushitai, even if he went to the Ministry of Household Affairs, it would be of great use.Thinking about his son letting Lin Hai go to the Ministry of Rites, he abolished this rebellious minister, so he eased his color.He said to Lin Hai: "For the sake of your father-in-law and your father, I forgive you. Go down."
Lin Hai hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and only got up with the support of the two inner eunuchs.
Nearly alive!
When Lin Hai saw the orange sunshine in the sky again, there was only this sentence in his heart.
Lin Hai repeatedly burned, burning for three or four days before slowly calming down.During this period, Mrs. Li took the post to invite the imperial physician, Jia Amnesty also took the post to invite the imperial physician, and Cheng Yin also took the post to invite the imperial physician to come over to see it.The results of several imperial physicians' examinations were the same, they were all overworked, exhausted in the five internal organs, stagnated in the heart, cold air entered the lungs, and suffered from summer heat.
Such pulse cases were sent to Taishang and Jinshang. Taishang thought of the scene of the Lianghuai Salt Administration before Linhai, either to go to the salt government censor who was fooling things, or to go to the salt merchants and various parties. High-level officials, filled their pockets.Only in Linhai, the salt tax for the open and dark accounts increased by almost half.The Lianghuai Salt Administration changed every year. I don’t know how many people have fallen over the years. It is the matter of the princes reaching out to the salt tax. The Taishang is not aware of it.But seeing that Lin Hai didn't take extra money, after all these years, Lin Hai can be regarded as a capable official who is loyal to the king's affairs.The Taishang sighed and decided to let Lin Hai go.
Today, holding Lin Hai's pulse case, he read it carefully, and after reading it, he said to Cheng Yin: "Someone tell Lin Ruhai to give him a month's leave, so he can take a good rest."
After Lin Hai had no fever, Zhou Ming and Hu Wen came in to see Lin Hai.The two talked about the appointment of the Ministry of Officials, and Lin Hai said slowly: "Salt tax is the most important thing for the imperial court. The appointment of the Ministry of Officials is for you to assist Mr. Zhang to stabilize the salt administration in Lianghuai. On the salt affairs You all know about the matter, so I won’t say more, you all understand. Just remember one sentence; don’t take what you shouldn’t take. Take this to Yulin as well.”
The two agreed, thanked them again and again, and then packed up, left Lin's mansion and returned to Yangzhou to embark on official careers.
…………
When Lin Hai was able to get out of bed and move around, he was so thin that only a skeleton remained.Daiyu didn't see her father until ten or so years ago. Seeing Lin Hai's description like this, she hugged Lin Hai's waist and burst into tears.
"Daddy, Daddy, doesn't Daddy want Yu'er?" In Daiyu's memory, her mother took care of her younger brother every day after her younger brother fell ill, and then lost weight quickly.When the younger brother died, the mother would lose weight faster, and then she would be as thin as her father, lying there, leaving her behind.
Lin Hai stroked the little girl's hair, thinking that the child might be frightened.He patted Daiyu on the back and said, "Yu'er, Daddy is almost healed, he will gain weight in a few days, and he can take you to boxing together."
Daiyu hugged Lin Hai and cried until she hiccupped, and finally Lin Hai asked Qingmei to pull her away, took her back, washed her face, combed her hair, and changed her clothes.
In the past six months, Qingmei has established in Daiyu's mind the image of an amiable and caring maidservant who always thinks of her.At this time, I persuaded her together with Luluo, "Girl, the master is better. The girl is so sad, and the master is worried that the girl will hurt her body from crying. I'm afraid it will be bad for the master's recovery. If the girl happily goes to accompany the master, If the master is open-minded, he can go back to the mansion faster."
Luluo also persuaded Daiyu, "Miss, the imperial physicians say that the master is overworked, and he is depressed. Miss, it is not good for the master to worry about it."
After coaxing Daiyu well, he took her to see Lin Hai again.
Lin Hai looked at the little girl whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, pulled her to her side, and asked her carefully what she had eaten, what she had played, and what she had learned with Mrs. Qiao, and slowly changed the little girl's mind. The two women asked and answered, Qingmei and Luluo breathed a sigh of relief.
Both of them are grown up, and they know a little bit about their respective fathers' busyness and worries over the past year.If the master is in danger, they have children for generations, especially Lin Ji controls all the shops of the Lin family, and Lin Cheng is the big housekeeper of the Lin family. Not to mention others, their life is absolutely impossible to live better than the life of the master. good.
The two of them were chosen by Lin Qian to be with Daiyu, and the family's advice was: look after the big girl, and don't let the master bother.So even if there was a rich nanny later, the four of them took turns leading the little girl to watch the night.No matter day or night, there is always one who is by Daiyu's side.
Lin Hai rested for another half a month, and it seemed that the difference was not too much from before the illness, and there were only a few days left for the holiday, so Lin Jin sent posts to those companies, and Chen Shangshu replied to the post and said goodbye at the Ministry of Rites; Mrs. Li made an appointment for a rest day; Cheng Yin said that there would be a chance to meet again in the future; the Jia family referred to the day before the rest.
Lin Hai asked the housekeeper to pack up the presents to bring to Jia's house, and went to Daiyu's yard by himself to tell Daiyu about Jia's affairs.
When Daiyu heard that she was going to her grandmother's house, she felt longing in her eyes, "My mother said that my grandfather's house is the mansion of the Duke, rich and well-mannered, and the rules are different from other families."
Lin Hai smiled, "Where are there similar people or things in the world? Your mother has been married for 20 years, and even if she returns in person, she won't be able to recognize her mother's family anymore."
Daiyu stared at her father with wide eyes, wanting to hear further explanation.
Lin Hai slowly explained to Daiyu: "Yu'er, the home your mother remembers is what your grandfather was like when she was a girl when she was still alive. Everything has changed since your grandfather passed away. As for the Duke's mansion , with your grandfather—the last generation of Rong Guogong passed away, your uncle inherited the first-class general, and now it is no longer the residence of the Duke of the State. Just like our Lin family, the ancestors followed the Tai/ancestor and also established a Fan Gongye, the plaque in this mansion used to be Marquis Wending’s mansion. The brilliance of a gentleman will be beheaded for five lifetimes. You are still young, whether you understand or not, you have to keep in mind what your father said."
Daiyu nodded, Lin Hai hugged her daughter into his arms, and whispered: "Your grandmother's house is not a very well-behaved family anymore. Since your grandfather passed away, your grandmother asked your second uncle and his wife to move to Rongguo Mansion to be the master." The Rongxi Hall where you live makes your eldest uncle live in the east garden of Rongguo Mansion. This is out of order, your mother once told your grandmother about it..." Lin Hai shook his head.
The little girl looked at her father with doubts in her eyes.
Lin Hai went on to say: "Your cousin is a nobleman, but he works as a housekeeper with your second uncle on errands. It's not as good as Lai Da who you saw at the dock to pick us up. He has status in the mansion, It's on point. This is the second."
Lin Hai paused, "Your grandmother is partial to the grandson born to your second aunt, who was born because of that child's jade title. He is one or two years older than you, and refuses to study hard. I want to eat the rouge on the girl's mouth." Lin Hai showed a disgusted expression. "Your grandmother not only doesn't restrain her, but she's still young and spoils her. Daddy will take you to Rongguo Mansion in the future. If he dares to provoke you, don't show him shame. This is the third thing."
Daiyu nodded quickly, father rarely disliked anyone, "Don't worry, father, he is a boy, and he will not stay in the house with me."
"Yu'er, hey, your grandmother still keeps him in the inner courtyard and lives with your grandmother. So, Daddy will never leave you to live with your grandmother, do you understand?"
"Understood." Master Qiao has been taking the class for half a year, and Daiyu already knows these basic common sense very well.
