212 212 Ending
◎Wait! It actually ended just like that? ! ◎
With the deposed crown prince and the eldest prince both being subdued, the rebels were leaderless and soon surrendered one after another. So this sensational abdication ended just like that.
How should I put it? It was just like a child's play. It started abruptly and ended suddenly.
To be honest, even Mo Yu, who claims to be knowledgeable, was a little slow to react to this overly dramatic ending... Well, although he didn't really experience any bloody battles, Mo Yu felt that he had at least read a lot of movies, TV shows and novels about power struggles, so in that case, he had some experience...
It was just, it was really too fast...
It felt like - huh? Did it end like this? A sense of unreality.
Well, if you consider that the protagonist is Master Kang, it seems that all this is not so unimaginable. After all, this gentleman is a super werewolf who can destroy the powerful Oboi with a game of wrestling...
Mo Yu looked at the abandoned prince and the eldest prince who were firmly pressed to the ground, covered in dust and looking ashen, and couldn't help but match them with an emoticon in his heart - "I'm honest, please let me go"...
Although it's a bit impolite, it feels that it still suits them.
Of course, he didn't stop the routine complaints in his heart.
[Tsk tsk tsk! Eldest prince, abandoned prince, tell me, what can I say to you two? 】
【You princes all think too highly of yourselves. You should know that being a prince and having the character "Er" in your name does not mean that you can be the second phoenix. You can also be the second waste... Please note that this "绢" does not specifically mean being discarded, it can also mean waste. 】
【In fact, sometimes people still need to have some self-knowledge. Although the eldest prince has the word "eldest", sometimes he may be older but not smarter...】
【In short, you two are really brave to confront your father head-on. Everyone knows that your father is the greatest emperor in history. In short, his killing power is not ordinary. He has been the emperor for so many years and has seen all kinds of big scenes. How could he be afraid of you? 】
【And, to be honest, are you two serious about your actions today? Who is going to rebel by bringing so few people? Do you really think you will win by launching a surprise attack and killing Master Kang? No, isn't this a bit too naive? Have you done a feasibility analysis? At least come up with a decent battle plan...】
Mo Yu was so excited while eating melons, complaining like a venomous tongue, and his inner voice was so loud that he had no time to pay attention to the expressions of the people present - and it was fortunate that he did so.
Because if he took a closer look, he would find that the expressions of the people present were not right.
Master Kang certainly had a kind of aura of a king who was intimidating without being angry, and he also looked extremely calm, as if everything was under control. But only he knew how dangerous the situation was just now. If it weren't for the Lin family kid's inner voice reminding him, he might not have reacted so quickly and quickly controlled the situation. Today's palace coup might really have fallen into the trap of the two rebellious sons.
After all, today was the day of the graduation ceremony of the Imperial College and the National Women's University, the two highest institutions in the country, and everyone was happy to leave the palace to participate in the activities. They all relaxed their vigilance, so they didn't make any preparations at all. In
addition, the defense force outside the palace was really incomparable to that inside the palace, and even the specifications of the tour were not comparable.
The question is, I am the greatest emperor in history, and the seas and rivers under my rule are peaceful and the world is prosperous... It is definitely not because I see so many talented people coming out, and I am getting carried away... The
key is that the ceremony is held in a place like the capital, which is also a place of study, full of books and elegance, so how could there be danger?
Moreover, it was held twice before and nothing happened, so it will definitely be fine this time. Not only did Master Kang think so, but even the most cautious old man, the governor of the Beijing camp who was in charge of Master Kang's defense work, thought so. Who knew that this time it would fail...
After all, they were careless.
Throughout the dynasties, there were many emperors who were assassinated because they were out of the palace. Why did they all neglect this time? It's
really scary to think about it. Fortunately, Lin Moyu is a good person. Otherwise...
The more Master Kang thought about it, the more scared he became. The more he looked at Mo Yu, the more admiring and loving he became.
The old ministers present also had the same feelings as him. Of course, compared with Master Kang, they were more grateful.
Thank God, if it weren't for Master Xiaolin, we would all be dead today - no, if something really happened to the Lord, it would be useless for all of us here to die... Fortunately, Master Xiaolin is here, he is our savior, our second parent, a pure living Bodhisattva...
In a corner unknown to Mo Yu, in the minds of these loyal ministers of Master Kang, his character has become more and more legendary, and has almost reached the point of deification.
But these are all common things in Mo Yu's view. After all, he is a time traveler with a golden finger, and it is normal for him to have a little bit of this halo.
Master Kang and the ministers had basically the same attitude towards Mo Yu, and their emotions towards the deposed prince and the eldest prince's rebellion were also very neat and unified, but the emotions of the princes were a little more complicated.
Some princes were very open about their emotions, such as the Thirteenth Prince, who was a typical extrovert who showed everything. He was not disguising his anger and worry about the deposed prince and the eldest prince's rebellion today. In fact, if Master Kang had not remembered that he had a secret weapon, the "Blood Dropper", under the reminder of Mo Yu's inner voice, the Thirteenth Prince would have been ready to rush up and fight the rebels.
Moreover, he is not a cowardly person. He has already decided to "capture the king first" - the only difficulty here is to determine who is the king!
The deposed prince and the eldest prince are both there. Although it is obvious that the deposed prince is the leader, with the eldest prince's brain, he might not save the deposed prince because he thinks that if the deposed prince dies, all the fruits of victory will be his.
In this case, even if the 13th prince takes the risk and successfully subdues the deposed prince, it will be useless.
The eldest prince will definitely let him kill him happily, and if he kills the deposed prince, he will be the only one.
But of course this is just the eldest prince's wish. If you think about it carefully, if this is really the case, then the followers of the deposed prince will not agree to it and will definitely eat the eldest prince alive.
If this is really the case, then it seems a good idea to let the two of them fight among themselves.
The Thirteenth Prince was always smart. He hesitated for a moment before making up his mind. He decided to take down the deposed prince first, leaving only the eldest prince.
However, with Mo Yu and Master Kang around, he had no chance to make a move.
Seeing Master Kang resolve this crisis so easily, the Thirteenth Prince couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he became furious - what kind of brains did the eldest and second brothers have? Although everyone knew that there was no family affection in the royal family, to attack their own father was simply worse than a beast, and it had completely exceeded his bottom line.
Besides being angry, he was also a little worried. This time, his two brothers had committed such a serious crime, and it might not be resolved peacefully. He only hoped that the emperor would spare their lives for the sake of not causing any harm to them...
Although he was somewhat suspicious, the Thirteenth Prince was really... a good man!
The Eighth Prince stood quietly, with a look of "It's none of my business if the sky falls", but his furrowed brows still revealed his anxiety - he was close to the Crown Prince and the eldest prince successively, and although he had a good relationship with people, it was just like the saying that if you are in a melon field and a plum tree, you can't explain yourself even if you are right, not to mention that he might not be right.
Anyway, Mo Yu didn't believe that this Eighth Prince would be the type to stand aside honestly. This time, the eldest prince and the deposed crown prince teamed up to rebel. If you say that this "Eight Wise Kings" did not have the handiwork behind this, even the stone lion outside the palace gate would not believe it.
And looking at Master Kang's skills and ability to defeat the enemy in one second, it would be a matter of time before he was found out.
As long as you think about it, how can you really stay calm?
The fourth master was anxious and slightly relieved, but all his expressions were very small, and you couldn't notice it if you didn't look carefully. It's the most frightening thing to be so hard to see through.
Apart from these core parties, several young princes or those who had never participated in the battle for the succession to the throne were in a very special situation. After all, this happened too quickly. Even though these friends were frightened by the siege of the deposed prince, the eldest prince and the rebels led by them at the beginning, they soon relaxed as Master Kang regained control of the situation.
In other words, there is no need to worry about anything as long as the emperor is here. As long as we are not interested in the throne, this matter has nothing to do with us... I have to say that this is really the truth. Those young princes who were still young and had not yet come of age when the battle for the succession to the throne ended and the new emperor ascended the throne all had a good end. It turns out that being young does have its advantages. At least it is safe.
Similarly, the older princes who really played tricks also had their advantages - for example, the 12th prince lived to the age of 79 by playing tricks low-key, the longest among all the princes.
Except for the ministers who had clearly taken sides, the mood of the other ministers was similar to that of the princes in this group. Anyway, the emperor was awesome, and with him around, they didn't have to worry about anything...
Most of the ministers were able to stay calm, after all, it was better to keep a low profile on this occasion - are you kidding? The scene of the royal family's father and son killing each other, can anyone see it?
I always feel that after seeing this kind of scene, their Wansui Ye will be unhappy when he thinks of it in the future, and it is very likely that he will be angry with them because of it. Then they will find any excuse to make them suffer, which is not good.
Of course, there are also people who express this idea very excitedly. After all, flattery never wears out, and this is the truth from ancient times to the present. It is worth taking a gamble to improve the favorability.
Lin Ruhai is the calmest among this group of people. His face is calm, and there is no emotional fluctuation in his eyes. For no reason, he has a sense of "stabilizing the sea".
In such a mess, Master Kang sighed deeply, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again, ordering everyone to arrest the deposed prince, the eldest prince, and their mob, and then drove back to the palace.
Of course, everyone present also followed him back to the palace, including Lin Ruhai and Mo Yu, and even Jia Min and Xiao Daiyu.
This means that they will go back to reward them for their merits - of course, the real merits are actually only Mo Yu and those blood-dropping daggers, oh, yes, and the lovely Nineteenth Princess, after all, if she hadn't come out to cooperate, this matter would not have been so smooth.
Of course, Mo Yu is also very important. Without his reminder, Master Kang would never have thought that he could use this method to achieve a surprise victory.
In short, the heroes are easy to identify, but as long as the people present did not follow the deposed prince and the eldest prince and did not turn against them, they can actually be considered to have made contributions - it's very simple, they have made contributions.
Master Kang is still very clear about this point.
As long as there is no betrayal, he will never be stingy with the benefits.
His kingdom is not his own kingdom, supporters are also indispensable, otherwise he will become a commander without troops.
In addition to ministers and female relatives, other students and onlookers present were also rewarded. Basically, they were all treated to a good meal and some extra treats to take home - everyone was frightened today, so they must be comforted. It is not only a way to suppress the shock, but also a way to keep them silent.
Anyway, the old master has been arranged to do what he should do. If you know what's good for you, just shut up. If you don't know what's good for you and talk nonsense, you have to be careful of the blood-dripping dart.
This rule is also understood by the common people who often watch the excitement in the capital. They will definitely not be unaware of the situation. They must give face to their long-lived master.
After the matters at the ceremony were handled, it was the turn of the palace.
Back in the palace, Master Kang was really furious. Not only did he personally slap the two unfilial sons, the deposed prince and the eldest prince, in the face, he also ordered people to lock them up in the Zongrenfu...
This Zongrenfu is not a good place. It has tortured many people. Mingzhu and Suo'etu had both been imprisoned there, and Suo'etu even died there. Judging from how angry Master Kang was, the deposed prince and the eldest prince would probably not be able to get out anytime soon.
After all, treason is a serious crime, and Master Kang didn't execute them on the spot because he was concerned about the father-son relationship.
In comparison, demoting the prince's rank is a small matter, but once they are imprisoned in the clan house, it would be difficult for them to get out.
And just as Mo Yu had predicted before, the eighth prince was not free from the connection.
Master Kang quickly found out that he had indeed conspired with the eldest prince and the deposed prince. Although they didn't do anything in the end, they couldn't just ignore it, so he was quickly thrown into the clan house to keep his eldest and second brothers company.
Originally, the ninth, tenth, and fourteenth were also in their group. After all, this time they had gathered four groups of people: the "first master's party", the "prince's party", the "eighth master's party", and the "fourteenth master's party". It was a strong team.
But in the end, they were still one step behind. It was God's will, and it was beyond human control.
Failure was inevitable, but the remaining three were not the masterminds after all, so Master Kang gave them a light punishment, only demoted their ranks, fined them some salaries, and locked them up in their own mansions for a few months, and did not send them to the clan house again.
After all, three princes were locked up at once this time, and the loss was still a bit big. Adding these implicated ones, a total of six princes were eliminated, and there were very few people left. Only the third prince, the fourth prince, and the thirteenth prince could compete for the throne. The
thirteenth prince was a member of the fourth prince's party, and he would not take the throne even if Master Kang gave it to him, so in fact only the third prince and the fourth prince were left to enter the final round.
Compared with the four great masters who have the support of the Thirteenth Prince, the Third Prince seems a little weak. Fortunately, he also follows the approach of keeping a low profile, which is somewhat similar to the Fourth Prince's personality. In addition, the Third Prince has always been a thoughtful person. He has collected a lot of information from Mo Yu's inner voice. Every day, he hypnotizes himself to keep calm and not panic. Gradually, he and the Fourth Prince have become evenly matched.
Although Mo Yu didn't understand this, he also said, "You guys take your time. I really don't want to serve you anymore.
" Because even if he didn't know the secret of his inner voice, he finally found out that something was wrong.
He found that these ancients were extremely smart, even to the point of mind reading - just like playing Landlord, both sides know each other's cards, which makes it a bit boring. In response
, System 006 said, Xiaoliu, I feel bad, but Xiaoliu doesn't say it...
Master Kang accepted it well - he even enjoyed it. As an old father, he can enjoy the increasingly perfect performances of his two "gentle, respectful and modest" sons every day, which is really cool.
The only thing that makes me unhappy is, why is this kid from the Lin family shouting "early retirement" again?
I haven't heard enough of your voices, how can I let you go?
Master Kang said that it is impossible to retire early, you kid must work for me until the day you can't do it anymore.
But Mo Yu was determined not to do it this time. After all, he personally encountered a real rebellion this time. Although he was lucky this time and nothing happened. But he was not so lucky every time. If "the fire in the city gate affected the fish in the pond", he would have nowhere to cry.
So Mo Yu still resolutely refused Master Kang's repeated retention, resigned and returned home - well, he returned home, but he could not resign.
Mo Yu's official position before was a blue-feathered guard of the fifth rank. Master Kang simply promoted him to a second-class guard of the fourth rank.
Moreover, this guard did not have to be on duty, he could just walk around the palace when he had nothing to do.
In other words, not only did he not have to be on duty, he was even promoted and had a salary increase, which was simply impossible to refuse.
Mo Yu guessed that Master Kang still couldn't bear to part with him, especially his inventions from modern times. Not to mention the medical school and the university, the infrastructure and other things had to be arranged... Cement, glass, and gunpowder were all there, what else could be used?
Okay, think about it slowly, anyway, there is still a lot of time. Before Master Kang died, he calculated that this year was the 47th year of the Kangxi reign, so there were still 14 years... This was recorded in history books, there shouldn't be any problems, right? At least it can't be advanced, right?
Mo Yu thought about this matter seriously, and didn't notice that Master Kang's face was gradually darkening and the others were so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe - God, Master Xiaolin is here again, how can he remind the Wansui Master of the deadline again and again, how dare he...
Won't it annoy the Wansui Master, and drag him out and chop him off?
No one wants to know when they will die, this is the instinct of human nature.
However, Master Kang finally overcame the weakness of human nature - after all, he is an emperor of all ages, and he can accept life and death a little better than ordinary people. What can he do if he doesn't accept it? No one can live forever, at least he still has fourteen years, which is already considered a long life, what is there to be dissatisfied about...
Master Kang calmly accepted the setting that he can live for another fourteen years, although he also agreed with Mo Yu's point of view - man can conquer nature, even the two older brothers, Prince Yu and Prince Ping, lived longer than the "destined" time, and his son Xiao Shiba also escaped the fate of early death, so there is no reason why he, the long-lived master, can't live?
In other words, he can live for at least fourteen more years, is there any upper limit?
Is there such a good thing?
Why are you still angry? Just keep working and it's done.
Seeing that Master Kang was in a stable mood, the ministers also calmed down. Then the impact of this incident on Master Kang's sequelae began to appear, and he began to summon Mo Yu more frequently.
He even thought of a perfect reason, which was to invite Mo Yu's sister Lin Daiyu into the palace to be a teacher for the princesses - just kidding, an outstanding graduate of the National Women's University, and a double degree from the Imperial College, such a powerful female teacher, to be honest, it's a bit of a waste of talent to teach the princesses.
But he couldn't resist the strong demands of the princesses - well, mainly the strong demands of Xiao Nineteen. After all, she was the hero who suppressed the rebellion of the deposed crown prince and the eldest prince, and she was so smart and cute that Master Kang instantly became a slave girl and willingly met all her requests.
And this child's request was to study.
And she had a designated teacher.
The teacher she designated was Xiao Daiyu, after all, she was a fan of Xiao Daiyu.
Isn't this just right? It's
like a pillow for a sleepy person. Little Nineteen, you are really a good daughter of the emperor.
Master Kang happily picked up the Nineteenth Princess and turned her around twice, then happily summoned the entire Lin family into the palace and personally delivered the decree to Xiao Daiyu.
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min looked at each other. Although they were a little helpless, they also stepped forward to thank him in a stable mood.
Little Daiyu's face was very calm, not even a bit unhappy, and even a little happy if you look closely. After all, she has found a career she likes - being a teacher, which is of course the best. Teaching is what she is good at and likes.
In the original novel, Little Daiyu was once a teacher to Zhen Yinglian. At that time, Zhen Yinglian was already married to Xue Pan's concubine named Xiangling, but as expected, this teacher-disciple relationship will exist at all times.
In this timeline that has been changed to a mess, Zhen Yinglian still had a brief teacher-disciple relationship with Little Daiyu, and later, they became colleagues.
So, fate is destined by heaven, they are destined to have such a fate, which is really great.
Unlike the indifferent or happy reactions of his family members, Mo Yu was upset when Master Kang announced this decree - because he quickly understood the twists and turns behind it.
My good friend, they "use the emperor to command the princes", but Master Kang, you "use the elder sister to command the younger brother".
You mean to let my little Daiyu enter the palace to be a teacher for the princesses, but you also want us father and son, especially me, to continue to work hard for you.
Your abacus beads are hitting my face, okay?
Okay, you win.
He must be worried about his elder sister, little Daiyu, and the plan of retiring early and wandering around the world will probably be put on hold for the time being. Anyway, he doesn't have to work, so he can go to the palace to play occasionally.
However, as the number of visits to the palace increased, Mo Yu gradually found something wrong.
No, how come he always meets the nineteenth princess seven or eight times out of ten?
Although this little princess is the most proud disciple of his sister Daiyu, isn't the probability of meeting her by chance too high? If
he remembered correctly, although this little princess was only five or six years old, she was still a child, but he was almost ten years old, considered a grown-up boy, and should keep a distance from the female relatives, right?
Then the meaning of what Master Kang and Gao Chang did to them was a little more obvious.
Could it be that they wanted to pair him with the Nineteenth Princess?
No way?
It wouldn't be so scary, would it?
Mo Yu was uneasy for a few days, but finally thought it through.
Whatever, Master Kang and the others didn't say anything anyway, and he couldn't show anything, otherwise it would make people feel that he had evil thoughts... Okay, after all, he is still a child now, and who cares about the future.
The Nineteenth Princess did look cute, so they just got to know each other, and there was nothing wrong with her. It was not bad to have her as a little sister.
What happened later was just as Mo Yu had expected.
He retired, but not completely. Although he was said to be in poor health, he had passed the ages of ten, twelve, and eighteen without any illness, and had successfully reached adulthood.
During these ten years, although he did not really want to enter the palace, Master Kang would summon him once or twice a month for various reasons.
After a while, he got used to it.
Since he could not resist, he had to cooperate.
Anyway, when Master Kang summoned him to the palace, there were no excessive requirements. Usually, he just had to accompany him to chat and eat.
Of course, it was not always just the two of them. There were often guests accompanying them.
Sometimes it was the princes - of course, mainly the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince. These three were the most popular ones in the throne. After all, they were all the legitimate heirs without any stains.
Sometimes it was the ministers. The Prime Ministers changed several times, but each one was still very interesting. I don't know why, but each one liked to stare at him, as if he had a flower on his face.
And they often looked at him with an expression that was hard to describe. This situation bothered Mo Yu a lot, but he got used to it after a while.
What else?
They wouldn't say anything if I asked them. They were too lazy to ask.
Most of the time, she would meet the Nineteenth Princess. Sometimes she was accompanied by her biological mother Gao Changzai, sometimes by her adoptive mother Wang Bin, sometimes by both mothers, but more often, she came alone.
As she grew older, her cleverness and agility became more and more obvious.
Many times, Mo Yu had the illusion that this little girl also had a soul from the modern world - of course, he had repeatedly confirmed with System 006 that there were no other outsiders in this world except him.
However, Mo Yu still felt that sometimes, the freedom of the soul was not necessarily limited by the times. Anyway, he felt no pressure getting along with the Nineteenth Princess, and they truly had an equal dialogue. This was probably because the Nineteenth Princess had learned and grown up with Little Daiyu, and often came into contact with him, a modern man.
In this way, time flies, and ten years have passed in a flash.
A lot can be accomplished in ten years, and Mo Yu set the latest retirement deadline for himself to be ten years.
After all, his knowledge reserves that could be applied in this era had almost all been handed over during this time, and he really had nothing else to offer.
These ten years were also the ten years of unprecedented development and prosperity of Master Kang's empire.
Many major events in history have happened exactly as they were. Many things that should have appeared in modern times have appeared here after being improved and downgraded.
Mo Yu renovated the Lin family's house in the capital like a manor. Although it looks low-key, there are many modern things inside.
Solar energy, flush toilets, showers, hot springs, floor heating... The supporting facilities are basically complete. Every winter, he doesn't want to go out at all, which makes his sister Xiao Daiyu also don't want to go out at all - yes, Xiao Daiyu, who is two years older than him, finally got married three years ago.
And it's a bribe, living in the yard next to Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, connected to their main yard of the Lin Mansion by a moon gate.
Xin Guye is Lin Ruhai's favorite student, the new top scholar, and also an editor of the Hanlin Academy - he basically perfectly replicated Lin Ruhai's career, and even his family background is similar.
However, Xin Guye is more inspiring. He is the descendant of a century-old family that no longer has a family. In other words, the family fell from its peak and he was the only one left to bring glory to the family - in this way, he is closer to Jia Lan after the fall of the Jia family.
Coincidentally, he is also the sixth generation of a noble family. It can be seen that there is nothing new in this world. History always repeats itself, and the Jia family eventually declined slowly.
Except for the big houses of the two mansions, other fields, shops and farms were basically sold, leaving only the land around the school and the ancestral hall - the kind of land that would not be confiscated even if the family was searched, and it was obvious that they were prepared to be liquidated by the royal family at any time.
Of course, even so, it was still much better than in the original novel. In the end, there was no search of the family's property, but they just lost a large sum of money, which was already very good.
After all, it was too obvious that their family supported the prince before, and even if the eighth prince passed to the throne later, it would be useless, because they were all grasshoppers on the same string anyway. This is a crime tainted with "treason", and it was ruthlessly liquidated in the original novel.
The reason is also very simple, that is, although the men are not ambitious, the women are awesome.
Although Old Lady Jia was gone, Madam Xing and Sister Feng had awakened, and Qin Keqing had also stood up. Both mansions relied on the support of the women's army, and they decisively sold their estates and land to avoid disaster.
The men were not only incompetent, but also inexperienced. In the past ten years, Jia Jing, Jia She, and Jia Zhen all died, Jia Zheng retired due to illness, Jia Zhu died early, Jia Lian, Jia Huan, and Jia Rong were also incompetent, relying on their ancestors' shadows to hold idle jobs and hanging around at home every day. As for Xue Pan, after Jia Jing's death, he went to Xuanzhen Temple to become a monk - he said that he was guarding his godfather's immortal bones to cultivate, so that he could reunite with his godfather in the upper world in the future to thank him for taking him in and raising him.
How should I put it? It was a fresh way of life.
In this way, the two mansions completely became the world of women.
The good news is that although no one entered the government, at least they were able to safely and securely transition from being rich and powerful to a well-off family - Qin Keqing's son and Feng Jie's son both studied hard, and although they were only ten years old, they were both very smart, and it seemed that there was no problem for them to take the road of imperial examinations to make a fortune.
The case of the deposed crown prince's conspiracy to rebel involved many people, and the Wang and Shi families were also implicated, so they did not have such good luck. One family was demoted and exiled, and the other family went bankrupt to avoid disaster, but Master Kang was not satisfied and still arranged for their families to be confiscated.
Fortunately, Shi Xiangyun married into the Wei family before the family was confiscated. The Wei family also learned their lesson this time and did not participate in the prince's rebellion. It was just that they accidentally heard Mo Yu's thoughts and knew that there was no hope in following the prince, so they kept a low profile and lived a peaceful life.
Jia Baoyu finally married Xue Baochai.
After all, these two are actually quite a match.
After being rejected by the Lin family and the Shi family, Jia Zheng finally recognized the reality, that is, the people he liked didn't like him, and the people he didn't like were the ones who might like him. So let it be, anyway, the second son was useless, so he gave up the title and trained Jia Zhu's son Jia Lan instead.
It happened that the old lady was gone, so Jia Zheng listened to Mrs. Wang and arranged for Xue Baochai to marry Jia Baoyu. It was a
marriage between relatives. This niece could also remind her cousin to study, which was good.
Mrs. Wang was of course very satisfied with this. After all, Xue Baochai was her own niece, so she would definitely think the best of her.
Of course, there were frictions after marriage, and Jia Baoyu really didn't like studying, and he also disliked Xue Baochai who kept urging him to study.
But since they were already married, they could only continue to live their lives. It was said that after marriage, Master Jia was obsessed with concubines, such as Qingwen, Jinren, Qiu Wen, and Sheyue, and he took all of them into his room, and even Baochai's dowry Huang Jinying.
These five concubines got pregnant in a few years and gave birth to a bunch of illegitimate sons and daughters for him, which made Baochai feel a sense of existence again - although she herself did not give birth, she was a cheap mother enough.
I don't know if she is really as calm as she seems on the surface. As the saying goes, one knows the warmth and coldness of drinking water, but she can't leave anyway.
What's interesting is that except for Shi Xiangyun, all the people in this group got married at the age of 18 or above.
In the beginning, it was actually Mo Yu who insisted that Xiao Daiyu had to be 18 years old before getting married, which of course came from his common sense as a modern person.
Haozi Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were also very open-minded parents, and of course they agreed with Mo Yu's suggestion - just kidding, the child's heart had made it very clear, no matter whether it was a boy or a girl, they were considered adults at the age of 18, and if they got married too early, it would cause damage to their bodies.
And it was not good for the health of the next generation.
This was scientifically based, and the children of Master Kang who died young were inevitably used as examples, which broke the defense of the old man who listened to his heart closely.
The old man was very angry, so he was determined not to let Mo Yu get his wish, and he would not give in and let him retire.
Mo Yu had no choice but to continue to act like a jerk while earning a high salary - at this time, he was already a first-class guard of the third rank.
In the guard race, he has already reached the top.
Master Kang wanted to arrange a real job for him, but Mo Yu refused, and even "sick" several times - as to whether it was a real illness or a fake one, no one dared to question it. After all, it was a well-known fact that the eldest son of the Lin family was in poor health, and even Master Kang did not dare to act rashly.
So, it can be seen how important a person's personality is.
The official position cannot be promoted anymore, but it can still be rewarded - Master Kang began to reward Mo Yu in various ways, and it was almost a bit inhumane.
In the end, Mo Yu had already begun to use Master Kang's reward to contribute to infrastructure construction - there was no other way, the old man had given too much, and Mo Yu happened to know a little about financial management, and even if he didn't, System 006 would.
Three years later, Mo Yu applied for retirement again. At this time, Lin Ruhai also gradually felt that his body could not keep up, and he also had the idea of retiring. He had already been promoted to the position of Grand Scholar, and had been in the court for five or six years. He had made a lot of contributions to Master Kang, so Master Kang really couldn't find any reason to refuse.
Coincidentally, at this time, the Nineteenth Princess also turned eighteen years old, and Master Kang finally gave in and let Lin Ruhai and Mo Yu retire together.
However, before letting the family return to Jiangnan, he still arranged a marriage for Mo Yu and the Nineteenth Princess. After watching their grand wedding, he returned to his own palace with a smile.
Unexpectedly, he fell asleep and never got up, and died.
Mo Yu hurriedly calculated the time and found that the old man had died a year earlier than the time recorded in history, which was also unexpected for him.
Could it be that because his wish had been fulfilled and he was satisfied, he was relieved to pass away? It
would be a lie to say that he was not sad, but the dead cannot be resurrected. He accompanied the newly married Nineteenth Princess to perform a complete funeral ceremony, and cried with her for a few times before it was over.
The emperor died, and the successor was finally revealed.
As the chief minister who had not yet completed the handover, Lin Ruhai took the lead in taking out the edict from under the plaque "正大光明", on which were the words "传皇位于皇四子" - the handwriting was the original handwriting of Master Kang, guaranteed to be genuine.
So, the fourth master finally sat on the chair. Although it was a year earlier than the historical records, this was the closest part to historical facts in this world that had been completely disrupted by Mo Yugan.
Although the third prince was defeated, he did not suffer any losses. Like the thirteenth prince, he will participate in government affairs as a minister of regent in the future.
The other princes also received their own rewards.
Many of the loyal ministers were also promoted to higher positions, which was a celebration for the whole country.
After all, thanks to Mo Yu's occasional expression of his inner thoughts, the Fourth Master's mentality was relatively stable, his body was still healthy, and his mood was relatively good. He was not as ruthless as in history, and he actually created a peaceful scene.
When he arrived at Lin Ruhai and Mo Yu's place, although he wanted to keep them, he finally respected their wishes and let them retire and return to their hometown in Gusu.
This is the difference between the Fourth Master and Master Kang.
It's not that he wanted to build the Qing Dynasty through his own efforts, but he felt that the Lin family knew too much, and he didn't feel safe enough, and he really didn't want to make things difficult for himself.
So, after the national mourning ended, the eight members of the Lin family, that is, Lin Ruhai, Jia Min and Mo Yu, the nineteenth princess, Xiao Daiyu and her husband and their two children, left the capital by boat and headed for Suzhou.
More than ten years ago, their family came to the capital because Lin Ruhai and Mo Yu went to Beijing to work, and more than ten years later, they returned to Suzhou because they retired. It was really a blink of an eye, and everything seemed like a dream.
As the mountains and rivers of the hometown gradually approached, everyone's eyes were a little wet.
Even Mo Yu was no exception.
Even System 006 sent a long-awaited online reminder: "Congratulations host, System 006 (beta version) has completed the upgrade, the system bug has been fixed, welcome to use the official version, I wish you a pleasant journey..."
Mo Yu was already drowsy, but was awakened by this slightly abnormal voice... No, what did you say just now? What bug? Hey, Xiaoliu! Can you tell me clearly, what bug?
