20 020 Turning point
◎Give it a try? What if there is a chance to change history?◎
Seeing that Mo Yu was drowsy because of his young age, the Fourth Prince finally gave up observing him and prepared to get up and leave for the time being.
At this moment, he had made a decision-he still had to report today's events truthfully.
But of course it was limited to the part that could be said... After all, everyone, including the elites in the Sticking Rod Office, couldn't directly say the specific content of what they heard, right?
Anyway, what the eldest prince and the people around him were thinking, the emperor must have known it a long time ago.
The prince's ascension to the throne should have been a matter of the general trend and a nail in the stone. There were so many people who added icing on the cake, how could it compare to the merit of following the dragon.
In addition, he has been the crown prince since he was two years old. It has been nearly thirty years now, and he is still the crown prince. From ancient times to the present, no one has ever been the crown prince for so many years and still not ascended the throne.
And seeing that the emperor's father is in good health, there will be no problem for him to live for at least another ten or eight years.
In this way, things become complicated.
The eldest prince's ambition to be the king is obvious, and with the help of Mingzhu's gang, his arrogance is very high.
Unfortunately, in recent years, the second prince has gradually shown arrogance and factionalism...
Let's not talk about the distant past, just look at the Zhen family in Jinling, didn't they openly support the crown prince?
I heard that the current head of the Zhen family also took advantage of the opportunity of being a weaver and a clerk to help him buy a lot of things that exceeded the rules.
Mingzhu helped the eldest prince, and Suo'etu helped the prince. The two factions had been fighting each other for a long time in the previous dynasty.
In this case, don't talk about people's greed.
The situation is unclear, who doesn't want to please both sides and get double insurance.
For example, the Jia family, who currently lives in the capital, is a prominent family with two dukes, Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong. Didn't they just marry their youngest daughter to the Lin family, a noble family in Suzhou, and then send their eldest granddaughter to the palace after expressing their loyalty to the emperor.
The emperor's father was so old, and he was the same generation as the father of the legitimate daughter of the Jia family. He certainly couldn't take her as a concubine.
In the end, the empress dowager arranged a position for the girl as a female historian. It has been a year, and the emperor has not even asked about it. He has no intention of taking her.
The Jia family must have expected this result a long time ago. They just relied on the relationship between their two deceased dukes and the emperor to ask the emperor to give them face.
In fact, they are just waiting to see whether the eldest prince will win or the prince will win in the end.
But if they do this, what position will the emperor be in? They
want everything, but in the end they have nothing. This is the right way in the world.
Everyone knew about this tacitly, and they just kept silent
about it. But was the emperor really not dissatisfied at all?
In his opinion
, that was not the case. Mingzhu and Suo'etu had a quarrel in the previous dynasty, and these four princes and eight dukes had a group of female relatives competing in the harem, but no one really cared about the national economy and people's livelihood, and no one really wanted to share the worries of the emperor. It was actually quite boring to think about it this way.
If it was really as the child from the Lin family said, the fisherman would benefit from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam, and in the end the throne would actually fall on him, a prince who did not fight for it, it was not impossible.
But no matter what, he could not keep this information secret.
Otherwise, he would be a criminal deceiving the emperor.
As princes, if they violated a taboo, not to mention the throne, they might even lose the title of Beile that they had just obtained a few years ago.
Fortunately, this child really has some magical powers. These words can only be heard on the spot, and no one can tell others...
So, it's not that he doesn't want to say it, but he can't say it at all. Even the emperor can't blame him.
Therefore, when he returns to the capital to meet the emperor, he only needs to tell the truth that the young master of the Lin family "does have magical powers", "speaks shockingly", and "my son cannot speak frankly and deserves to die", and that's it.
Thinking of this, the fourth prince's mood suddenly improved. He stood up, smiled slightly, and said to Mo Yu with a kind face: "How old is the young master this year? What book are you reading now?"
Is he suddenly asking about the child's studies?
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min had been waiting for the Fourth Prince to lose his temper, and had even prepared for the worst - for example, their whole family would be arrested on the spot and thrown into prison by this Fourth Prince, but they never expected that the result would be this.
They were a little confused, but they didn't dare to ask, so they could only stand by with their hands down and watch the situation develop.
Mo Yu was already drowsy, but he didn't expect that the Fourth Prince, who had been silent all this time, would suddenly open his mouth to chat with him... This is really... How to say it?
He is indeed an iron-fisted, low-EQ straight man, but what can he do?
He is the Fourth Prince, so he can only forgive him.
Mo Yu was very helpless, but he also knew that people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
Even if the Fourth Prince is not the Fourth Prince now, he is still the Fourth Beile. Not to mention a little baby, even his father, Lord Lin Ruhai, a serious official of the imperial court, had to pay his respects to him. What else could he do? He could only risk his life to accompany him.
After Mo Yu prepared himself with sleepy eyes, he forced himself to answer honestly with a bitter face: "Three years old, and still not in school."
The Fourth Prince was stunned when he heard this: What? This child is really amazing, he is like this before he goes to school, what will he be like after he goes to school?
Lin Ruhai finally reacted at this time, and hurried forward to apologize: "To reply to Lord Beile, my son is still young and in poor health, so he has not been enlightened yet. Because my husband and I only have this one son at our age, and he is also weak, it is inevitable that we are partial to him and dote on him. If there are any inappropriate words or deeds, please forgive me, Lord Beile."
Mo Yu saw that Lin Ruhai was sweating and his voice was trembling, and thought that he was scared by the Fourth Prince, and did not think that it was caused by his own imagination just now.
However, he also understood that the feudal society was strict in hierarchy and rules, and if he was not careful, he would cause unnecessary troubles, so he suppressed his temper, and learned from Lin Ruhai to lower his head and bow respectfully to apologize.
After all, Mo Yu's new body received three years of standard local aristocratic education, so on the surface, he still behaved in a proper manner. Of course, he didn't agree with this in his heart, and he couldn't help but complain in his mind again.
[I'm not saying, you are too cautious, my cheap father. The fourth master just asked me about my homework, it's not necessary to be so scared, right? Although the fourth master is always bitter on the outside, to be honest, he is still quite fair and honest in doing things. As long as you don't get along with the prince, the eldest prince, and the eighth prince, and be a loyal and patriotic minister, you don't have to worry about being punished later. ]
[But these things have nothing to do with our family. After all, our whole family is short-lived. I probably won't survive this winter. As a son, I actually died earlier than my parents. I'm really unfilial... Then it's my cheap mother... I still blame myself for dying so early and making my mother sad...】
【A few years later, it was my cheap father... He died in office. I don't know if he was really sick or for some special reason.】 【
Then my poor sister Daiyu will be sent to the Rongguo Mansion in the capital, living under someone else's roof and in dire straits. In the end, all the family property will be calculated out, and people will be bullied to death. Finally, our entire Lin family will die.】
【Thinking about it this way, it's really boring. It's better to eat something good and have some fun. What nine sons fighting for the throne, father and son turning against each other, brothers fighting, all have nothing to do with us. 】
【By the way, what on earth are these four great masters here for? Why would they come to see a three-year-old kid like me for no reason? Don’t they really like children so much that they come to see me?】
The fourth prince felt a little sad after hearing the first few sentences, and even wanted to sigh a few words like "wisdom always leads to harm". When he heard the last sentence, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
Looking at the obedient look of the child in front of him, he really wanted to say directly - I don’t want to come either. It’s because you made too much noise and reported it to the emperor by the sticking rod department, and you made it sound so mysterious and unclear. Otherwise
, I can’t come. Hey, you are quite good at pretending.
If it weren’t for the magical power of ventriloquism, even I would be fooled by you.
The Fourth Prince looked at Mo Yu's dark head, and his teeth were itching. However, Mo Yu knew nothing about it, and did not even raise his head. He looked like an obedient child, but continued to complain in his heart.
[This is also very possible. After all, the gossip about the Fourth Prince is quite mysterious. He likes to read books and has become nearsighted. He likes to disguise himself as a Han Chinese and visit incognito. And the most amazing thing is... he likes to make clothes for cats and dogs...]
[Emma, imagine the Fourth Prince wearing glasses, handsome and cold, holding an embroidery needle to make clothes for kittens, puppies and hedgehogs. The picture is so beautiful that I dare not look at it...]
...
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min no longer want to talk.
Forget it, destroy it.
Whatever you want, this child can't be kept.
The Fourth Prince's face was even more gloomy, and then he gradually became more embarrassed.
This child is really amazing!
Other things are fine, but in fact, he really likes to make clothes for cats and dogs.
Probably because he didn't have many playmates when he was young, the only playmates in the cold prince's house were these cats, dogs and cats... and he couldn't raise them himself, so he could only secretly feed the stray ones. Even
so, he got a lot of warmth and comfort. So after he became an adult and opened his own house, the first thing he did was to raise a lot of cats, dogs and cats. He would pet them when he had nothing to do, and made beautiful little clothes and nests for them, which completely cured the paleness and sadness in his years when he was not spoiled.
The world cannot be without cats, dogs and cats.
But if there is really no little hedgehog, why not try it after returning to the palace?
Wouldn't that be a bit irritating?
The Fourth Prince was completely unaware that he was gradually being led astray by Mo Yu. Perhaps because he was thinking of those cute little animals, his originally cold eyes gradually became a little blurred.
Seeing that the atmosphere on the scene was becoming more and more weird, it was only after Lin Ruhai coughed lightly a few times and called out that he finally brought his gradually drifting thoughts back. Looking at
the expressions of Lin Ruhai and his wife, the Fourth Prince also understood that the situation of the young master of the Lin family was beyond the control of the two of them. Let
's not talk about anything else. If there really was some man-made miracle, it would definitely not be shown so blatantly.
What are you talking about the one in Rongguo Mansion?
What kind of miracle is that?
When he became a bandit, he held a piece of beautiful jade in his mouth. Did he think he was a saint or an emperor?
If they hadn't been a little smart and sent their daughter into the palace, they would have barely created a persona of the emperor's uncle. In addition, the child was also very naughty and abnormal, and did
n't look like a genius. I'm afraid the Sticking Rod Office would have helped the emperor deal with him a long time ago. I heard that the kid grabbed rouge during the "Zhuazhou" ceremony. It's obvious that he is a beauty-indulgent and useless guy.
Unlike his Honghui, who is very stable at a young age.
But what did the child say just now? Honghui is going to die young, and it's just
in the next two years? And Hongyun, he's only three years old, why do they say he will die in a few years? He can't live past eleven?
Honghui is gone, and he only has two sons, Honghui and Hongyun, and they are both going to die? ? ! !
This won’t do. We have to think of a way to prevent it after returning to Beijing.
Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince subconsciously asked, “I heard that people in Jiangnan are outstanding and smart. I wonder if Lord Lin and Madam Lin know any famous doctors. Our Honghui and Hongyun are also a little weak. It would be great if they could meet a famous doctor and get cured like the noble young master.”
Huh?
After all this time, you just want to ask this?
Does this mean that the crisis of “exterminating the nine clans” has passed for the time being?
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min did not dare to neglect it, and quickly provided a long list of local famous doctors.
Mo Yu was a little noncommittal about this, but he couldn’t help but think of someone in his heart.
[Actually, these doctors are useless. If they were useful, our family wouldn't have died one after another in the original novel... But if we talk about famous doctors in the original novel, Zhang Youshi is one of them. It seems that his hometown is also in Suzhou. He went to Beijing a few years ago and is quite familiar with Feng Ziying's family. I don't know if he is in Beijing or Suzhou now. If he hasn't come back yet, we can let him see the children at home...]
[Apart from anything else, if by chance we can save one or two children and change history, it would not be bad.]
【After all, the dignified Fourth Master worked diligently and conscientiously as the emperor for more than ten years. He not only made up for the losses of the mess left by Master Kang, but also gained a lot of family property. It's a pity that because there were too few sons, those who finally survived to adulthood were not very capable, and in the end, this huge country fell into the hands of Hongli, the prodigal son. 】
【You say that this kid should learn something else, but he wants to learn from his grandfather and go on a tour to the south whenever he has nothing to do? Well, Master Kang really went on a tour to the south to get things done. Apart from other things, he did a lot of work on water conservancy projects. Otherwise, how can he be called the greatest emperor of all time? No matter what happened in his later years, he really did a lot of practical things in his early years. 】
【But what did you go to do with Xiao Si? When Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River, he was just there to travel and look for beauties. If you compare yourself to others, you will die. If you compare yourself to others, you will throw away your goods. It's a sin. So, Fourth Master, if you want to save your son, I will be the first to support you. Go find Zhang Youshi. Maybe he is the hidden master in the whole book. After all, his medical skills have been specially certified by the original author. 】
After hearing this, Fourth Prince really had some confidence in his heart - unknowingly, he had already accepted the setting that the young master of the Lin family was a "little god". He
could transmit his voice without speaking. The language and words he said were strange, but he could understand it if he thought about it carefully - the most amazing thing was that there were mysteries hidden in these words, and there were many amazing information...
and if he wanted to ask for something, he would have a chance to get it.
He just asked for a miracle doctor, and he was given one right away, with a name and surname. It couldn't be more true.
If this isn't a god, then what is a god?
This miracle doctor must be really capable.
The Fourth Prince secretly took note of it and prepared to send someone to look for that Zhang Youshi right away. Maybe he could really save the lives of his two sons...
He was already upset about the premature death of his second son Hongyu. It had been three years since the incident, and his mood had finally calmed down a little. Today, when the young master of the Lin family said this, he felt uncomfortable again.
At the same time, he couldn't help but get nervous about the issue of offspring. For those of them in the royal family, having few offspring is a very serious matter in itself. If the son who has finally grown up is not a good person... then it is simply a disaster.
Something must be done.
The Fourth Prince secretly made up his mind to start his plan of raising and having children (?) from today. At the same time, he suddenly remembered the real purpose of his trip to the south of the Yangtze River.
The official bank accounts of Jiangning Textile Factory were checked. In addition, there were also the Yangzhou skinny horse case and the case of selling official positions and titles, which either involved the crown prince or the eldest prince...
But how to report these things to the emperor?
He thought that Lin Ruhai was a good person, so why not…
Since he just thought of this, the Fourth Prince simply stopped hiding it and took the opportunity to get up and leave to directly invite Lin Ruhai: “Since Young Master Lin is fine, I won’t bother you any more… But, I still have something unclear, and I would like to ask Master Lin to spare me a moment to talk.”
