Qin Ruo's first reaction was to go to Tao Bin. She bought the servants of Xuan Jinhou's mansion, went in as a maid, and found Tao Bin. Anyway, Tao Bin is her only life-saving straw. The family gave up on her, and she could only be locked up for the rest of her life with the Qin family, or married away.
She could only escape to find Tao Bin and ask clearly what happened during her detention.
Tao Bin was at the lowest point. Qin Ruo suddenly appeared, showing a bit distressed, and then blamed himself for not being with him, and cursed himself a few words, Tao Bin softened his heart.
In his opinion, Qin Ruo was the worst one, but when Qin Ruo heard that his side was not good, he even escaped to see him. How could he not be moved?
Qin Ruo quickly heard everything from Tao Bin. She simply suspected that her memory was confused. The only thing that made her thankful was that Tao Bin didn't fail the ranking because of lack of ability, but was influenced by Tao Rui and didn't answer well.
Think about how much happened during this time? How could Tao Bin not be affected? If you take the exam next time, you will still be admitted. In other words, after Tao Bin became the son of the prince, it didn't matter whether he took the test or not. It didn't matter if he had a chance to find a certain vacancy.
Tao Bin wanted face, and didn't tell Qin Ruo that the emperor hadn't sealed him, only that the family planned to keep a low profile for a while, but he hadn't asked for it.
Qin Ruo felt more at ease, because Tao Bin's attitude was obviously not to blame her, he still had love for her. Even because the two of them are miserable, there is a feeling of pity for the same disease, this is her advantage. As long as she operates properly, she may still become the future Mrs. Hou.
Qin Ruo became more sober at this time. It was not that she didn't want to take another road, but that she wanted to be prosperous and prosperous, so she could only take this road. The attitude of the Qin family, the attitude of the Tao family, and the opinions of others on her all determine that she has never had any other way to go.
So Qin Zhizhi didn't want to worry about Tao Rui's affairs, and only wholeheartedly encouraged Tao Bin, gently persuaded him, and told him that he can do it and he is the best.
Qin Ruo lives in a small yard rented by Tao Bin. In the deepest part of an alley, there is a maid and wife bought by Tao Bin to take care of him. He waits for Tao Bin to meet from time to time, persuade Tao Bin to work hard, and help Tao Bin find a way. Restore the reputation and disappear in front of others.
It was two days late for the Qin family to find out that Qin Ruo was missing. They sent people to look around for a long time, but there was no news at all, so they had to give up. Master Qin and Madam Qin don't know how much white hair she has.
However, these people really stopped looking for Tao Rui's troubles, and began to avoid them. Tao Rui also really drew a clear line with them, and began to flex their muscles in their new positions.
After Tao Rui was admitted to the champion, the emperor did not send him to the Hanlin Academy as a sixth-rank official, but directly asked him to enter the household department as a fifth-rank official.
Regardless of the emperor's ambitions and what he will do in the future, the first step is to fill the treasury. Only when the treasury is full can he achieve what he wants to do. In addition, he was fifty years old, and the first few princes were ambitious and began to restless, and they must think of the law to touch the finances. The emperor asked Tao Rui to enter the household department, and he also meant to check them so that they could not touch finances.
The officials had long known that the emperor valued Tao Rui, but they did not expect Tao Rui to give him real power when he first entered the court, as if he would be a celebrity in front of the emperor in the future. For a time, the number of people who had made friends with Tao Rui was uncountable. The princes who had been watching before also began to vaguely hand out olive branches to Tao Rui.
They have to be careful and careful. Initially, it is only a test, because Tao Rui is currently the emperor's person, they are not sure whether they can win Tao Rui, if someone fails to win, but also exposes their ambitions, it will not be worth the loss. .
The first queen gave birth to the eldest son and was established as the prince at birth. Unfortunately, the prince died before he was seven years old. The first queen would die when she gave birth to the third princess, and most of the reason was that she lost her son at that time and was too sorrowful.
After the death of the prince and the first queen, the emperor did not establish a prince, nor a queen. For example, the highest position in the palace from now on is the mother and concubine of the four princesses, Concubine Xiao. Concubine Xiao's son is the second prince of the present, and he is known as Wu Shuangquan. He performed very well and was supported by many people.
After the original owner was ruined by Tao Bin and Qin Ruo, he took refuge in the second prince. When he was a dandy, he made a lot of friends and friends. They were from good family background. When he was drunk, he didn't have a door on his mouth. Things that shouldn't be said. The original owner used these weaknesses to intimidate and lure, expand the power of the second prince, and do ugly things for the second prince.
That's why the second prince was willing to give him some benefits so that he could deal with Tao Bin. In the process of finding faults, Tao Bin grew up, gained some benefits, and gained a good reputation.
Later, Tao Bin took refuge in the third prince, and the mother of the third prince was the concubine Hui, the head of the four concubines, who was not weak. Tao Bin took out all the family property to support the third prince. At that time, Tao Bin was repeatedly set off by the original owner to become the first son. The Jinshi test proved his strength, and gradually received the attention of the third prince, and finally killed the original owner.
During the whole process, the original owner was like a stepping stone and a useful pusher. He insisted on stumbling with Tao Bin and finding fault with Tao Bin again and again. The result was to give him benefits again and again, killing himself, and perfecting his opponent. Got a standard villain ending. His biggest role in life is probably to make Tao Bin grow up.
The original owner encountered such a future by accident, and would rather give his body to others than face it. From these memories, Tao Rui still can't know who won the throne in the end.
In addition to the 22-year-old second prince and the 19-year-old third prince, there are also the fourteen-year-old fourth prince who are also ready to blend in and seize the concubine. Further down, there is only one eight-year-old fifth prince who is still studying in the school.
Tao Rui analyzed the character and influence of the second and third princes in his memory, and after careful consideration, he felt that no matter which prince could do the emperor. The emperor is very scheming, don't look at the age of fifty, he is still ambitious, as long as he is healthy enough, he can't wait to live another five hundred years.
This is simple. Tao Rui doesn't need to care whether the princes are capable or not. As long as the emperor is healthy and longevity, the princes will definitely be useless.
Just a few of the princes were all temptations. He also slicked Tai Chi and pushed them back. He didn't offend people and didn't let them figure out what he meant. No matter how he looked at him, he seemed to be passionate about doing things well. , Even if you don't turn to them, it is not a threat for the time being, and there will be a chance to win in in the future.
After Tao Rui used this method to comfort them, he immediately began to sort out Da Zhou's finances as quickly as possible. The Hubu Shangshu was instructed by the emperor and knew that Tao Rui was going to do something secretly, which gave him great convenience in the Hubu, and covered it for him if necessary.
The first thing Tao Rui did in the Ministry of Households was to recover the money that everyone owed the treasury and rectify the chaotic part of the distribution of the land.
This is a very offensive thing, but Tao Rui used to be a dude, now he is leaning on the emperor, who is he afraid of?
He puts on the official uniform and takes people to the door of the debtor's house. He doesn't know how to stare at the person, and he can bet someone at the door every time.
The first one he asked for was Shunguo Gongfu, the home of the Huang Shizi.
Tao Rui started a bill when he arrived at the Shunguo government, and read out the bill for many loans from the Shunguo government.
Shun Guogong's face was ugly and authentic: "Tao Langzhong, the three fires of the new official are not such a burning method. Be careful to burn yourself."
Tao Rui smiled and handed the bill to Leng Xiao, and responded with neither humble nor arrogant response, "Shunguo calms down the anger, and the officials follow the rules. The emperor, the beggar, and the debt repayment are all things that are justified, and no one is directed against anyone. It means. I also hope that Lord Shun won't be embarrassed to get off the government.
Leng Xiao presented the bill to the people next to Duke Shun Guo. Duke Shun Guo realized that when he saw him, this person was the guard that the emperor personally gave to Tao Rui during the paddock test. It was the emperor's personal guard, and everyone. Give one-third face. Tao Rui asked Leng Xiao to hand over the bill, making it clear that he was using the emperor to crush him.
Duke Shunguo was annoyed, "Tao Langzhong is very good at holding chicken feathers as an arrow. The mansion is currently difficult, and there is no money for it. You can come later."
Duke Shun Guo thought Tao Rui was going to be arrogant, who knows Tao Rui smiled very neatly: "Then Duke Shun Guo slowly collect money, the officials did not expect the seemingly beautiful Shun Guo government house to be so desolate. It was really rude today, and the official said goodbye."
Duke Shun Guo hadn't got angry because of his words, Tao Rui had already taken the people away, which made him feel a little confused by the second monk.
The next day he deliberately went into the palace to see the emperor. He knelt and confessed his mistake as soon as he entered the door. The old man cried out in tears about how difficult he was, and blamed himself for failing to share the emperor's worries.
The emperor listened to him while criticizing the memorial, and finally let him reply with a faint smile and comfort.
Duke Shunguo was triumphant, and he knew that the emperor couldn't hold back his face and demanded the silver from him, otherwise he would have the reputation of killing a veteran. There are so many people who owe money to the treasury. If he is the first to pay back the money, he will definitely become a public enemy in everyone's eyes. There is no compromise in this kind of thing. Anyway, the Fa doesn't blame the public, and no one can do anything about it, otherwise the accounts won't be dragged on for so many years.
But when he was at ease in the mansion to enjoy, Tao Rui went to Qi Yushi's family to have a home-cooked meal, and then Qi Yushi participated in a copy of Shunguo in the court, and pointed out that Shunguo's government would send out stamps and money. Collect a very high profit; Huang Shizi spent a lot of money in the brothel to spend the spring evening with the oiran, and because the oiran sponsored a poor scholar, he interrupted the poor scholar's right hand and made it impossible to refer to.
At the same time, the Hubu Shangshu also listed, pointing out that Tao Rui found that half of the fields under the name of Shunguo Gongfu were unknown when he was rectifying the fields. After careful inspection, he found that Shunguo Gongfu bullied others and bought them at a very low price. of.
A widow who was persecuted had nowhere to ask for help and committed suicide.
The emperor frowned and said, "This case is handed over to Dali Temple. If the evidence is true, I will severely punish Duke Shunguo, so as to try to follow suit!"
As soon as news of this incident broke out, Duke Shunguo fell into a chair and sweated. Then he asked Huang Shizi to be brought back from the brothel. He was so angry that he learned that these things were accidentally leaked by Huang Shizi over the years. I personally broke Huang Shizi's leg!
However, it was too late. Dali Temple quickly checked the evidence and sent their family to prison, and then sentenced to the beheading of Lord Shunguo, and the rest were ransacked and exiled.
On the day that the Shunguo Mansion was ransacked, Tao Rui led people to publicly count the properties of the Shunguo Mansion and clear the accounts.
This trick directly shook the hearts of all officials.
