◎Tears! Is it wrong to just want to retire early?◎
Facts have proved that it is impossible to retire early.
Master Kang didn't want to let Mo Yu leave his side, let alone let him stop working in the palace.
What a joke, this time when he went on a tour to the frontier, because Mo Yu didn't go with him, he hadn't seen Mo Yu for just a few months, but he had already sent letters to him to the point that it was shocking. If he really let him go home, there would be a lot of commotion.
Therefore, Master Kang simply pretended not to hear Mo Yu's little wish. Anyway, this kid didn't say it out loud, but just kept muttering in his heart. In that case, there was no need to care, right?
Once again, I discovered the benefits of expressing my inner voice, that is, listen when you want to, and pretend not to know when you don't want to.
Hehehe, the main point is to adapt to the needs.
Master Kang continued to look at Mo Yu while secretly laughing, and made up his mind to let Mo Yu help him settle this matter.
The reason is very simple, because he himself is really not suitable for this matter.
In fact, Master Kang regretted it just after issuing the edict to depose the prince.
Master Kang hesitated for so long before issuing this edict, not without reason - there is a prince, even if this prince is a thousand bad things, there is still a prince, and the other brothers will not make it to the surface even if they have some small thoughts.
Then, the entire royal family can still maintain superficial peace.
Thinking of this, he was indeed too impulsive this time. How could he really issue this edict?
Oh, it was all because Lin Moyu didn't accompany him on the tour, so he had to watch the prince hanging around him every day. Finally, he got annoyed and made this decision in a rage. Now there is no way to end it.
Master Kang regretted it while placing his hopes on Mo Yu. Unconsciously, he relied more and more on Mo Yu's opinions on the matter of establishing a crown prince - whether it was those "oracles" that expressed his inner voice or verbal expressions, he urgently needed Mo Yu's help. After all
, the Queen Mother was still waiting there.
Although the old lady's favorite grandson is the Fifth Prince, she also loves the Crown Prince, her legitimate grandson, very much.
Most importantly, the old lady attaches great importance to rules and regulations in her life.
In her opinion, the Crown Prince has been in office for so many years, and this time he was suddenly deposed, so she must be given an explanation.
For public and private reasons, and for both reason and law, Master Kang, as the prince, must explain this matter clearly to his mother.
Otherwise, there will be no way to end it.
Master Kang became more and more anxious, but he did not show it on his face. He just stared at Mo Yu, with a pitiful and pleading expression, which was simply irresistible.
Of course, this was also intentional by the old man.
He has been with Mo Yu for several years and has already figured out Mo Yu's personality - this guy is soft-hearted and will not tolerate tough tactics. If you use force on him, he will be more slippery than a loach.
On the contrary, playing soft tactics and pretending to be pitiful may work.
Seeing that Master Kang's expression was getting more and more exaggerated, Mo Yu finally lost. After muttering to himself for a long time, he finally asked to help Master Kang.
There is no way, who can refuse an old baby who looks at you pitifully?
And an old baby who is generous and has always taken good care of you.
Okay, just consider it as returning a favor.
Seeing the Empress Dowager still waiting for an answer, Mo Yu sighed and finally helped Master Kang. He said slowly,
"Your Highness, I don't know about this either."
Master Kang almost spat out blood when he heard Mo Yu's answer.
You're so good, Lin Moyu!
You just kept talking about this in your heart for so long, and you were "determined" to help me, but in the end you said this... Did you play with me all this time?
I waited for such a long time just for your answer?
What do you mean you don't know?
How can you not know?
It was you who had been saying that the crown prince was immoral, and that I would depose and establish both, but in the end I did not choose him to inherit the throne, but instead passed the throne to the fourth son?
I have heard you say this at least several times, why did you not say anything today when it was your turn to speak?
Not only did you not say it verbally, you did not even think about it in your heart.
What would my Empress Dowager think of this?
Although many people present here have already heard your inner voice broadcasting the reasons for deposing the crown prince* and establishing the fourth son, the Empress Dowager does not know.
If you don't deal with the old lady today, I will definitely not let you go.
Master Kang was so angry that his beard was curling up, but he had no way to talk about this matter directly. He could only gasp for breath by himself, which was really scary to watch.
The Empress Dowager was also frightened by this scene. Seeing Master Kang like that, she felt distressed - compared to her grandson, her son was more important. The old lady actually felt a little self-blame, thinking that she was meddling in other people's business.
After all, who gets the position of crown prince and who inherits the throne are all the emperor's business, and have little to do with her, the Empress Dowager.
Anyway, no matter who ascends the throne, she is the Grand Empress Dowager.
However, she still hoped that her eldest son could live longer, so that she could die first, and avoid having to see other people off for the rest of her life...
Putting aside the complicated emotions of Master Kang and the Empress Dowager, Mo Yu's expression was still very calm.
Because he did it on purpose - including the emotional changes of Master Kang and the Empress Dowager, which were also within his expectations.
To solve such a thorny matter, he really had to stir up the water first - only when the old lady and the old man fainted, could he do his best.
Very good, keep going, and see who can't bear it first, and then I'll make a backup plan for you.
Mo Yu confidently waited for Master Kang and the Empress Dowager to lose their temper first, but he didn't expect that when the atmosphere was tense, the Thirteenth Prince suddenly said:
"Don't be anxious, Madam, calm down, Father, Lin Moyu is still young, how can he understand these national affairs... His health has always been poor, Father, please don't make things difficult for him - you see his face has changed, it will be bad if he faints in a while."
The Thirteenth Prince said this, and it actually found a perfect step for Mo Yu to leave.
Yes, he is in poor health and young, how can he know so many national affairs?
In fact, Mo Yu has already seen that Master Kang just wanted to lead him to the "oracle" - in fact, at the beginning, Mo Yu also thought so, what else can be more fooling than the "oracle" to fool the Empress Dowager?
This old lady is also a devout Buddhist. There is a Buddhist temple in the Ningshou Palace. The old lady has to fast and chant Buddha every day. She is really very pious.
This is not surprising.
Because Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang believes in Buddhism, this may be related to their family - many tribes in Khorchin, Mongolia believe in Buddhism. It
just so happens that the empresses that Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang found for her son, Emperor Shunzhi, are all girls from her mother's family.
Not to mention the deposed Concubine Jing, the new empress turned out to be Concubine Jing's niece. The word "uncle" when the veil was lifted at the wedding was enough to make Emperor Shunzhi lose interest instantly.
Of course, he didn't have much interest at first.
After all, his true love was Consort Dong E. He didn't like any other Borjigit girls, like Consort Jing or Empress Xiao Hui Zhang.
It was hard for Empress Dowager Xiao Zhuang to bring her niece and grandniece into the palace to be empresses for her son, hoping that the new emperor would have the blood of the Borjigit family, but it was all in vain.
However, the position of empress was indeed kept.
After Consort Jing died, her niece, the grandniece of Empress Dowager Xiao Zhuang, the young Empress Xiao Hui Zhang, actually sat firmly in the position of empress.
Afterwards, she successfully outlasted her uncle, Emperor Shunzhi, and became the empress dowager after Master Kang, who was still the third prince Xuan Ye, ascended the throne.
Anyway, this kind of life experience is still quite legendary, with a flavor of Buddhist cause and effect fatalism. Even those who don't believe in Buddhism may have to believe it. What
's more, Empress Dowager Xiaohuizhang was originally very close to Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang pitied her young niece and left her hometown at a young age, came from Khorchin to the distant capital, and married her uncle who was twice her age as a concubine. Then she didn't dote on her at all, let alone leave any children.
If this happened to an ordinary person, he would probably be depressed a long time ago.
But Empress Xiaohuizhang was fine. It was
probably because she was too young when she entered the palace. She was only twelve and a half years old. She was basically a little girl who had not grown up.
It's okay if she doesn't get favored, she just needs to be a little queen.
However, as a concubine, without the emperor's favor, life in the deep palace is inevitably boring. At this time, she can have more time and pay more attention to worshiping Buddha.
So in those innocent, confused, and dark years, Empress Dowager Xiaohuizhang became an increasingly devout Buddhist. She should have been destined to die in the cold harem like many of her predecessors, but because of her open-minded temperament, she became a long-lived old Buddha.
Judging from the degree of filial piety of Master Kang to her, Empress Dowager Xiaohuizhang is really a winner among winners in life, and she is the kind of winner who wins completely without doing anything.
It is equivalent to picking up a good eldest son for nothing, and the kind of emperor who will be the greatest emperor in history.
This might be what the Buddhists mean by "what is yours is yours", and you can get it without any effort. This is probably the karma of Empress Dowager Xiaohuizhang.
In this case, if we regard some things that Empress Dowager Xiaohuizhang cannot understand or is unwilling to understand as "the revelation of the Buddha", then of course we will get through it very smoothly.
Mo Yu did intend to use this method.
But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly stopped.
No, if this reason is used, there will be no problem with the Empress Dowager, but it will be a big problem for him.
Wouldn't it really be that it was he, Lin Moyu, who suggested that Master Kang depose the prince... In this case, it would be strange if the prince didn't go crazy and want to kill him.
And not only him, but the entire Lin family would probably be implicated. It
was really terrifying to think about it, and cold sweats broke out.
Damn it, just looking at Master Kang's pitiful appearance, he almost got fooled.
Mo Yu silently threw aside the perfect excuse that was on the tip of his tongue, and decided to "die a friend rather than die a poor man", and let Master Kang bear the prince's anger by himself, and he would not take the blame.
Mo Yu was determined to play dumb, but strangely, the Queen Mother's expression gradually became a little strange.
She looked around in confusion at first, as if she was looking for something, and then her face showed an expression of confusion and fear.
In the end, her expression returned to calm, and instead took on a sense of peace and indifference, a bit like the Buddha's nature.
"If that's the case, then I know."
Empress Dowager Xiaohuizhang sighed, stood up slowly, glanced at the prince, and finally felt a little sorry for him.
But since it was the will of "Buddha", he could only accept it.
"Since the emperor has decided, I will not say anything more. It's just..." She glanced at Mo Yu and sighed, "This is our family's affair, so don't involve other people's children." When
Mo Yu heard it, he knew that the old lady must be talking about him - hey, I didn't expect that the empress dowager would actually care about him, a bystander, it was really touching.
See, even the empress dowager knows not to involve outsiders, how come Master Kang doesn't know?
[You old man, you are so bad.
Mo Yu couldn't help but curse in his heart, not noticing the sudden deathly silence at the scene.
When he came to his senses, he found that Master Kang was standing in front of him, looking at him with gritted teeth, and even stretched out his hand to pinch his face: "
You Lin Moyu, what is that... what is that look? Tell me the truth, are you criticizing me in your heart?"
Mo Yu shook his head quickly, but his mouth couldn't make any sound, so he could only helplessly let Master Kang rub his face.
He originally thought that Master Kang would just rub it twice and that would be the end of it, but he didn't expect that the old man would keep rubbing it, as if he was deliberately venting his anger, which made him even more frightened - could he really guess that he was scolding him?
Who cares? As long as he didn't say anything, he would never admit it.
What's the point of thinking in his heart? Haven't you heard of the saying "A gentleman is judged by deeds, not by heart"? What
's the point of thinking in his heart? As long as it's not said or done, it doesn't count.
Mo Yu calmly let Master Kang rub him until he felt it was boring and let him go. Only then was it over.
After Master Kang vented his temper a little, he couldn't help but laugh at his own childish behavior.
After laughing like this, Master Kang's mood suddenly became brighter.
Yes, there are not so many entanglements, just say it directly.
Thinking of this, he directly announced to the Empress Dowager and everyone present the reason why the prince was deposed: "Yinreng violated the virtues of his ancestors, did not obey my teachings, was cruel and cruel to the people, and was violent and violent." As an emperor, he had tolerated Yinreng as the prince for more than 20 years, and now he didn't want to tolerate it anymore, so he might as well depose him directly.
When everyone heard this, they were all speechless - it turned out that what the young master of the Lin family "said" was indeed true, and the prince was really deposed.
This reason is really sufficient...
Before everyone could recover from the shock, Master Kang made another big move.
This time he directly used the move of "burning the boats", indicating that after deposing the prince, he would not appoint another prince, and when he died a hundred years later, he would leave a will and choose a capable person to pass on the throne.
