136 136 Father-in-law
◎Don't panic! How will they be?◎
Seeing Li Guangdi suddenly faint, everyone present was shocked.
After all, this Lord Li is already over 60 years old. If he is really in trouble, it is really no joke.
Master Kang quickly sent someone to summon the imperial physician, and the accompanying imperial physician immediately came up to check. As a result, this Lord Li was just angry and fainted temporarily.
Master Kang was relieved to hear this.
Although he wanted to take this opportunity to investigate Li Guangdi's disaster relief, he did not intend to kill this old man.
No matter what, this old man has been an official for forty or fifty years.
Even if he has no merits, he has worked hard. Moreover, no matter how you look at it, his merits must be greater than his faults, so he can't be too harsh.
While Master Kang ordered people to carry Li Guangdi to the palace to rest, he continued to order people to go to the capital to summon Zuo Du Yu Shi and Zuo Fu Du Yu Shi.
However, the purpose of their coming was slightly changed.
At least there was no need for both of them to investigate Li Guangdi's problems, and someone had to take care of the disaster relief.
If things were really as the Lin family kid said, and the disaster relief was so poorly managed, they had to be replaced quickly.
The disaster victims were displaced, and the reason was that he was an incompetent emperor... Fortunately, although he had nothing else, he still had a few capable officials.
It just so happened that these two people in the Censorate were quite suitable.
So why not do it this way.
After making this decision, Master Kang also sought Mo Yu's opinion - on the surface, he said that Li Guangdi was in poor health, and it was estimated that it would be difficult for him to handle the task of accompanying the emperor. Moreover, this old Li was the governor of Zhili, and he also had to deal with the people affected by the flood in Hejian last year, so he also needed a few capable helpers.
God knows how hard Master Kang worked to come up with this excuse.
After all, it was quite difficult to not trigger the restriction on the content of speech brought about by hearing the voice of the heart, and to make things clear.
But fortunately, Master Kang has already accumulated rich experience in this area. Although the operation cannot be said to be effortless, it is not too difficult.
Mo Yu was somewhat noncommittal about this. Anyway, he did not intend to overthrow Li Guangdi - not to mention that this current Minister of Personnel and Zhili Inspector General had no grudges against him, and even if there were, he was too lazy to waste his energy. Anyway,
no matter who it is, as long as they want to harm him, the final result will definitely be asking for trouble.
As a sickly little god, he doesn't seem to have to put in much effort to accomplish anything he wants - recent experiences have made him feel more and more that he has a kinky carp character, otherwise how can he "have his wishes come true" without doing anything?
Maybe it's because the golden finger of System 006 is too useless that the extra gift package is given?
In this regard, System 006 said: Speaking of stupid, it is indeed the host who is the stupidest. I don't know if he will leave the earth at the speed of light when he knows the truth of the matter one day in the future...
Of course, System 006 dare not say the last half truth at all, and can only secretly criticize it.
Fortunately, Mo Yu's attention is still on Li Guangdi's matter, so he didn't pay too much attention to this little action of System 006. To be
honest, Li Guangdi is not the kind of dog official who is unforgivable.
Even after System 006 checked the entire historical database, he had to admit that this Lord Li is not the kind of useless official.
Mo Yu also felt that Old Li was still a good official. He just couldn't stand the scandals that continued from his early years to his later years, and the fact that he was ineffective in disaster relief.
Now that Master Kang has personally taken action to rectify the disaster relief issue, there are no other problems.
But why did Master Kang look for someone from the Censorate?
The two big guys, the Left Chief of the Censorate and the Left Deputy Chief of the Censorate, isn't this lineup a bit too luxurious?
System 006 had already switched to the next interface and began to introduce Mo Yu to the background of the characters he was interested in.
The Left Deputy Chief of the Censorate was Lin Ruhai, who was Mo Yu's adopted father, so there was no need to introduce him at all. In addition to Lin Ruhai's top abilities, it is estimated that Master Kang chose him to reunite him with Mo Yu and his son.
To be honest, at such a young age, Mo Yu was given the job of accompanying the prince and the official position of Blue Feather Guard by Master Kang. He was either dragged to patrol everywhere every day or asked to go to the palace to accompany the princes to study. Basically, he had no time to spend with his family.
Although thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor, it is still too cruel for a child.
Master Kang himself knows this, so he will give Mo Yu some rewards when he has nothing to do, or he will bring his family with him, or give him a holiday to go back and reunite with his family.
Even if they were to choose a minister to accompany the emperor or to serve in front of him, they would like to choose Lin Ruhai - he is useful and can also do favors to the "little god", so why not?
Therefore, there is no suspense that Lin Ruhai will be chosen.
Mo Yu would certainly be happy to be reunited with his father soon, but compared to this, he is more curious about the origin of the other Zuo Du Yu Shi.
After all, this is his father Lin Ruhai's top boss. It would be a lie to say that he is not curious.
Fortunately, although System 006 is not very useful, it is still very strong in collecting information, and soon pushed the background information of Zuo Du Yu Shi to Mo Yu.
It turns out that the current Zuodu Yushi is Zhaojia Maerhan, a member of the Plain White Banner and also a member of the Imperial Examinations. He had previously worked in the Hanlin Academy and served as a lecturer. Later, he was transferred to the Ministry of War. He was appointed to the Censorate six years ago, and he was the Zuodu Yushi, a second-rank official.
As an official, the old man has always been known for his prudence and loyalty. In his early years, he accompanied Suo Etu to Russia to negotiate. Last year, there was a famine in Shandong and Zhili, and hungry refugees ran to the capital to make a living. He also dealt with the comfort of disaster victims with Tong Guowei, Mingzhu and others.
So, if you want to find someone to solve the problem of the Zhili disaster victims, it is really suitable to find this Lord Maerhan.
However, there is only one thing. The old man is already 71 years old this year. Although he can live to be 85, it is still a bit tiring to call people from such a long distance to do work, which makes people a little worried.
What makes Mo Yu feel even more interesting is that this Lord Ma Erhan is actually the father-in-law of the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang - well, it cannot be called the father-in-law, after all, the Thirteenth Prince and Ma Erhan's sixth daughter, Zhao Jia, are scheduled to get married in June this year, and the wedding will be held after they return to Beijing from the southern tour.
But since the imperial decree for the marriage has been issued, the matter must be set in stone.
So the Thirteenth Prince and this Lord Ma Erhan are now in a relationship of prospective son-in-law and father-in-law.
It is said that this Lord Ma Erhan has six daughters at home, and the Thirteenth Prince's unmarried legitimate wife, Fu Jin, is his youngest daughter.
This legitimate wife, Fu Jin, also has a younger brother named Guan Zhu, who is also Ma Erhan's only son. He is just over ten years old this year and is also studying in the upper study room. He gets along well with the Fifteenth Prince and his friends.
Ma Erhan's family was a typical family of six golden flowers but only one child. In order to have a son, the old man was willing to go all out.
Fortunately, hard work paid off, and he finally got a son when he was almost sixty years old.
He therefore felt that his sixth daughter was blessed, and he couldn't help but brag about it among his friends in the capital, and then someone with ulterior motives told Master Kang about
it. It happened that the 13th Prince Yinxiang didn't have a legitimate wife yet, so Master Kang arranged a marriage and arranged for Ma Erhan's sixth youngest daughter, Zhaojia, to be married to the 13th Prince as a legitimate wife.
However, at this time, the 13th Prince already had two concubines... and one of the concubines, Guaerjia, had already given him a daughter.
Yes, the 13th prince, who is only 19 years old, already has a one-and-a-half-year-old daughter. This is really a typical case of early marriage for the princes of their royal family.
Because of this origin, when Ma Erhan arrived, the 13th prince personally greeted him.
Although Ma Erhan is over 70 years old, he is vigorous and looks very healthy. He is indeed a great man who can still give birth to a son at the age of 60... I
don’t know why he doesn’t look very happy. Could it be that he is not satisfied with the 13th prince as his prospective son-in-law?
Mo Yu watched the old man greet the 13th prince in a lukewarm and polite manner, and always felt that the old man seemed to be very angry.
After thinking for a moment, he seemed to have thought of a possibility.
[Master Malhan, do you feel that your precious daughter is a little wronged to marry the Thirteenth Prince? ]
[Yes, the Thirteenth Prince now has two concubines, and he will marry another concubine, two concubines, and together with your sixth daughter, the legitimate concubine, there will be six wives in total. ]
[Also, it is true that I heard that the concubine Guaerjia is very favored, has given birth to the first daughter, and will soon give birth to the first son... But you don't have to worry, there will be no concubine in the future. 】
【You probably don't know yet, but your sixth daughter, Zhao Jia, as the legitimate wife, is probably the most favored of all the legitimate wives of the princes. Without saying anything else, just look at the number and frequency of her children. 】
【The Thirteenth Prince has only nine sons and four daughters. So for each child, your sixth daughter contributed seven of them... and one was born before this legitimate wife entered the mansion. So, seven out of ten are born to the legitimate wife. How can such a favor be achieved? 】
【Anyway, according to historical records, the Thirteenth Prince and the Thirteenth Concubine were very affectionate. Even though the Thirteenth Prince was busy accompanying his father everywhere every day, he still found time to let the Thirteenth Concubine get pregnant and have children. In the twenty-five years since they got married, the legitimate Concubine gave birth to seven children. This level of affection is unmatched. 】
【In a word, you don't have to worry, they are doing fine. 】
Mo Yu watched the Thirteenth Prince and his future father-in-law, the old man Ma Erhan, interacting with each other, while silently eating melons and complaining - to be honest, giving birth to seven children in 25 years, although it sounds like a lot, is also a normal frequency - at least not every year, at least there is a break, which is good.
Many women of this era were used as tools for bearing children. The fact that she was able to give birth to so many children and still be healthy and live to the age of 78 shows that the thirteenth wife, Jin Zhaojia, was really a girl in good health.
Mo Yu was deeply impressed by this, but he always felt that everyone's expressions were a bit strange. He thought it was because they were not very familiar with old man Ma Erhan and were a little wary of his identity as the Left Chief of the Censorate.
After all, the Censorate was responsible for supervising the affairs of all officials. It was normal for everyone to be a little nervous when they saw him coming.
Mo Yu prepared himself mentally very naturally, turned around and saw his father Lin Ruhai looking at him helplessly, then he apologized to Master Kang and others, and took him away directly.

Sure enough, I still didn't catch up, covering my face, one day!
