24 024 Virtually shocked
◎Scared to death! He was just one step away from being bitten by a shark.◎
What?
This poor kid is really bold!
The screen is open and the critical hit belongs to him.
When Mo Yu said this, everyone present was stunned.
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were petrified, and they almost dared not breathe, fearing that their long-lived master would be furious and kill everyone in their Lin family on the spot.
The Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince were also worried. After all, although the Fourth Prince had already given their father a shot of precaution and told him about the Lin family's magical power, he had not expected that the child would say this as soon as he saw his father...
It's over. Will the emperor punish the Lin family directly because he is too angry? That would be too regrettable and helpless.
No, who would comment on the appearance of the king of a country in person? Young Master Lin, you are really a man...
Most of the people present were almost the same, trembling and nervous. Only the crown prince and Zhen Yingjia were smiling, and it was obvious that they had a feeling of gloating.
I think the two of them had exchanged ideas before about Mo Yu being able to speak out his mind.
After all, although many things cannot be said directly, they can be understood.
They could not communicate what Mo Yu's inner voice "said", but the fact that the eldest son of the Lin family had a demonic appearance and could transmit his thoughts without speaking could be said.
At least it could be hinted at.
Based on Lin Ruhai and the Fourth Prince's understanding of the two, they must have told Master Kang about this. And it is certain that both Zhen Yingjia and the prince intentionally or unintentionally made it ugly.
Now Mo Yu spoke directly to the Wansui Master, although he did not speak, but ventriloquism was the same.
Anyway, everyone heard it.
Otherwise, why do they all look so shocked and scared?
The prince and Zhen Yingjia quickly confirmed this by reading the air, and they became even more delighted immediately - this little thing was so openly disrespectful to His Majesty, he must be beheaded. The
Lin family is going to be in trouble this time.
The prince's reaction to this was relatively normal, but Zhen Yingjia was particularly looking forward to it. He still remembered the fear and unhappiness he felt when Mo Yu complained about it in his heart, so he especially wanted to see Mo Yu and even the entire Lin family being severely punished by Master Kang.
In addition to this personal grudge, Zhen Yingjia was looking forward to the Lin family's misfortune because of the consideration of the division of power of the entire Jinling Zhen family.
Everyone knows that Jiangnan is rich and a good place. However, it is enough for the Zhen family to have such a good place, why do they need the Lin family?
To be honest, Zhen Yingjia has long disliked Lin Ruhai's family. It started from the time when the previous generations of the Lin family had an important position in Jiangnan, and it reached its peak when Lin Ruhai succeeded in the imperial examination and was reused.
Not to mention, this time when Lin Ruhai investigated the case, he destroyed many of the Zhen family's outlets in Yangzhou City, which had a great impact on their business.
With new hatreds and old grudges, Zhen Yingjia was simply looking forward to the Lin family's misfortune, and preferably the whole family being exterminated.
He showed this too obviously, and basically had "Your Majesty, please punish them quickly" written on his face.
Although the prince didn't understand why, he was willing to give Zhen Yingjia a favor and stand on Zhen Yingjia's side - although the money belonged to the Zhen family, most of it would be given to him in the end.
Lin Ruhai cut off the Zhen family's financial resources, which meant he was offending the prince himself. In addition, Lin Ruhai's investigation in Lantai Temple had also touched the interests of many of the prince's faction, so the entire Lin family had actually been on the prince's blacklist.
It was a pity that the two girls they sent before were useless. They had been married for several years as concubines, but they had not killed the sick people in the Lin family, which was really infuriating.
In addition to the past grievances, the Zhen family's complaints also added fuel to the fire for the prince.
Because of the Zhen family, the relationship with the prince was originally close.
At this point, we have to mention the power of the old lady of the Zhen family.
The Zhen family has two princesses, one of whom is the concubine of a cousin of the prince...
With this kind of marriage relationship in the party, it must be even more different.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhen Yingjia dares to do whatever he wants.
After all, he has dealt with the two most powerful people in this dynasty, the old and the young, so what is there to worry about? The Zhen family will definitely prosper for a long time.
What impeachment, audit, etc., are definitely just formalities. The Lord favors the Zhen family so much that he will not really do anything.
Besides, compared to the little things in their family, the weird appearance of the Lin family's child is more frightening. He is so weird and scary, he must be killed.
Everyone present had different feelings, but no one dared to break the weird silence.
Because no one could be sure of Master Kang's true thoughts.
Although he looked easy-going and friendly, he would be bloody when he got angry... No one dared to be presumptuous in front of him. After all, he was a man who could kill even a tyrant like Oboi.
But Master Kang not only said nothing, but his expression did not change. He just looked at the young master of the Lin family with interest, as if he was trying to figure out what kind of magical powers he had. Of course, it was not ruled out that he was trying to figure out how to kill him...
Because Master Kang did not speak or move for a long time, everyone was silent, like quails, not to mention how honest they were.
The most dishonest among them was, of course, Mo Yu, who knew nothing about all this.
Mo Yu looked at Master Kang curiously. Seeing him looking at him with a strange expression, he thought that his etiquette was not standard enough.
But this was all a conditioned reflex formed by the original owner's body. So many months have passed and no one has said that it was not standard?
If it was really not standard, wouldn't he have been finished when the Fourth Prince came last time?
Since he was not finished, it must have proved that his manners were fine.
The ones with the cat biscuits must be Master Kang and the adults.
[So what are you doing? Isn't this the procedure for meeting the emperor? Is there some other strange etiquette that I don't know about?]
[Hey! Talk to me! I'm so scared of you guys... Well, I'm not scared, but I'm embarrassed... Is it because I just stared at Master Kang's face for too long? I really didn't mean it... Those pockmarks are really too obvious, ahem, no, I don't mean to be discriminatory or prejudiced, I'm just an ignorant child, you don't mind, right?]
Looking at the little boy in front of him, blinking his big eyes and looking at him innocently, but he kept complaining in his heart, which formed a sharp contrast with his expression, Master Kang couldn't help laughing.
But he still managed to hold back his laughter and prepared to take this opportunity to wait and see. After all, this kind of scene is very rare even for him.
He had known for a long time that the little kid from the Lin family had strange powers.
It was said that the child had a serious illness in July and August last year and was almost unable to be saved. After waking up from a coma for several days, he began to have this magical power - it seemed to be a supernatural power like "ventriloquism", but the words he said were a bit strange and people could not understand them.
At first, the people from the Sticking Rod Office came back to report it, but they were also vague, as if they didn't know how to describe it.
After all, this matter was too strange and could not be described clearly in a few words.
Then Zhen Yingjia also wrote a memorial to report this matter, and the words he used were very sharp.
What "evil appearance", "there must be something wrong when things are abnormal", "harm to the country", in short, whatever big hats were put on it.
Those who don't know would think that he cares so much about the country and the people, but they never thought that he said so many high-sounding words just for his own selfish reasons.
Master Kang knew Zhen Yingjia very well, so he didn't pay much attention to these alarmist words, but his curiosity was still aroused.
A child who can speak without opening his mouth? I have never seen that before, otherwise let the fourth prince go and take a look?
He immediately asked the fourth prince to take the opportunity to go to the Lin Mansion to take a look at the child while he went to Jiangnan to check the accounts. Soon, the fourth prince came back from Jiangnan and gave him a confirmed news.
The young master of the Lin family does have this magical power, but the words that come out of his mouth are strange, some of which are half-understandable, and often shocking, and it is unknown whether they are true or false. In addition, he cannot retell or discuss them with others, which makes this incident even more mysterious.
The image of this child from the Lin family has become more mysterious in Master Kang's heart, and he is more curious.
Now that Master Kang has finally met Mo Yu in person, it feels quite novel to hear him speak without opening his mouth, and what he said is really such strange words.
And it is very interesting.
Therefore, he also had some playfulness for the first time, and prepared to deliberately leave this child alone to see what other surprises he has. Of
course, Mo Yu still knew nothing about this, and was still immersed in his own thoughts.
[Actually, having a few pockmarks on your face is nothing. As the greatest emperor in history, you don’t make a living by your face… And wasn’t it because of these pockmarks that Emperor Shunzhi thought that your son would not get smallpox and would live longer, so he chose to pass the throne to you? You should be thankful for these pockmarks.]
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min almost died on the spot, and were even ready to kneel down and apologize, but the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince gently stopped them in the morning, telling them not to panic and let Master Kang continue to play, as the matter might not be that serious.
This was meant to be a temporary appeasement plan, but Mo Yu really gave him face and continued to talk - of course he still felt it in his heart, but he also broadcasted it directly as usual.
[Come to think of it, you are fifty years old this year, right? I didn't expect you to look so young, and your body looks good, no different from a middle-aged man... No wonder you are so vigorous and have been giving birth to children in the past two years. Wow, you are worthy of being one of the emperors with the most sons in history. The year before last, you had the eighteenth prince, and last year you had the nineteenth prince. In the next few years, five more princes will be born... You are really awesome.]
No man doesn't like others to brag about his ability in this area, and Master Kang is no exception. Especially after hearing that he could give birth to five more princes at his age, he tried to hold it in but finally couldn't help laughing. The Fourth
Prince finally let go of his worries, looked at Lin Ruhai, and breathed a sigh of relief.
His Majesty finally laughed, and the crisis was temporarily resolved. I just hope that Moyu will stop daydreaming... After all, in front of His Majesty, no one dares to say anything to interrupt his daydreaming...
It's really too deadly and too exciting, Zundu!
Of course, Master Kang would not really kill someone just because someone commented on his appearance or gossiped about his life experience. What
's more, Mo Yu is just a child of three or four years old. As the saying goes, children speak without restraint. He quite likes this child's "straightforward" nature.
The key point is, these words spoken by such a child are really interesting.
Besides being interesting, he also became more and more curious. How on earth could such a small person know so many strange things?
Could it be that this child did not simply acquire the magical power of "ventriloquism", but actually acquired the magical power of being able to see the secrets of heaven?
That would be really amazing.
Regarding the ability to use "ventriloquism", he had actually been vaccinated by many people including Lin Ruhai and the Fourth Prince beforehand - but even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt it was magical when he actually heard this child speak in ventriloquism.
According to his observation, this can't actually be considered ventriloquism, but more like a kind of heavenly sound - the child didn't open his mouth at all, nor did he seem to be talking on purpose, as if he was just unconsciously thinking about
random things. What he was thinking about was something extremely confidential or unknown.
This situation was very similar to the feeling of being possessed by a great immortal.
Moreover, this child looked smart and clever, and although he looked a little sick, he was also clear-headed, not like he was hysterical, so it must be another kind of supernatural power.
If he could really predict the secrets of heaven, he was really a man of great fortune, worthy of being the son of Lin Ruhai, the former top scholar.
Thinking of this, Master Kang became more and more excited, and his expression towards Mo Yu became more and more loving. He even took the initiative to ask a question to break the suffocating silence:
"Are you the child of the Lin family? How old are you? What book are you reading now?"
Mo Yu was stunned. Oh my god, I thought this Lord was not going to pay attention to me, but now he is suddenly condescending to ask me?
But why is the question he asked similar to the four great masters? They are indeed father and son, and they are indeed two emperors who served one after the other. Their way of thinking is exactly the same.
Mo Yu subconsciously looked at Lin Ruhai and Jia Min because he was suddenly named by the big boss, Master Kang. Seeing that both of them had wooden faces and serious expressions as if they were attending a funeral, but they did not intend to answer for him as usual, although Mo Yu felt a little curious, he did not care too much. While he politely replied to Master Kang himself, he secretly complained:
[What's the matter? Why are you all so scared that you can't move when Master Kang opens his mouth? No matter how powerful he is, he is just an emperor? He is not a tyrant. Can he just drag us out and chop us up? Even Zhen Yingjia, who was corrupt, perverted the law, bullied the villagers, and sold women and children at will, is still standing here. We honest officials and good citizens will definitely not be beheaded. 】
Ah?
Lord Zhen is playing such a big game, it's really a bit too bold.
Everyone's eyes immediately looked at Zhen Yingjia, especially Master Kang. Maybe he thought of something, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he asked directly:
"Bold Zhen Yingjia, do you know your crime?"
Zhen Yingjia's heart turned cold, his face turned pale, and he immediately knelt down on the ground with a "thump", trembling and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I didn't do it."
【Nothing? There are quite a few, just greed for money... In fact, although corruption is bad, it is worse to collude with kidnappers to do the Yangzhou skinny horse business. Oh, and there is one more thing, why not do something else, and start to cling to the prince so early. You know, the prince is still just a prince after all, and has not become the emperor yet. 】
Even the prince couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. He coughed lightly and hurriedly said, "Father, it's getting late. Shouldn't we go in and rest for a while?"
【Tsk tsk tsk, Prince, you are right. Master Kang loves you so much, just like a father loves his son. Just for the sake of this father-son relationship, why can't you be patient and wait a little longer? Why do you have to do something so early... But if you think about it carefully, you can understand it. Master Kang is in such good health. It will take at least 20 years for him to pass on the throne to you. This is indeed a bit too long to wait.】What
? 20 years?
That is to say, I can live another 20 years?
Master Kang's eyes darkened, and he felt a little complicated about this sudden "death prophecy".
He is 50 years old this year, and he will be 70 in another 20 years. It is rare for a person to live to be seventy years old. From ancient times to now, there are not many emperors who can live so long.
Ordinarily, he should be content.
However, as an emperor, who doesn't want to live forever and ever... Unfortunately, no matter how much he hopes, Master Kang himself knows that this is all wishful thinking.
Okay, twenty years is not impossible, that is, the issue of the successor to the throne really needs to be reconsidered.
The prince has now begun to collude with Suo Etu to make trouble. If he is asked to wait for another twenty years, can he wait?
Fortunately, I have many sons. Didn't that kid just say that I will have five more sons after Xiaojiu.
Since there are so many choices, there is no need to rush, he can take his time to choose, he still has a lot of time, twenty years is enough to choose the most suitable son to train and inherit the throne.
Master Kang quickly adjusted his mood, and he was more and more pleasing to Mo Yu. This child is easy to get along with, speaks well, he can talk more.
The prince next to him was not so happy after hearing what Mo Yu said - what, the emperor will not die for another twenty years, so he will have to be the prince for more than fifty years?
What kind of suffering is this?
Maybe he won't live to see that day.
Thinking of the cold he caught in Shandong on his way to the south last year,
the prince was still in a state of panic. He felt so bad that he felt like he was going to die. If he really died, he would be a prince for the rest of his life... The prince was filled with grief and anger. Looking at Master Kang's cold eyes, he felt even colder - they really had to speed up the big thing they were planning. The hateful Suo Etu had been locked up by the emperor because of his serious quarrel with Mingzhu. I wonder who else in his faction can be reused.
Master Kang and the prince each had their own thoughts, but the others present wished they didn't exist - such a big thing as royal secrets and the throne, was this something they could listen to?
After listening to so many explosive things, they wondered if they would be silenced by this father and son in the future... They were scared.
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min finally put their minds at ease. The behavior of the Wansui Lord showed that he had accepted their son Mo Ge'er's strange magical power.
And he did not punish them for it.
Their precious son should be safe for the time being. They don't know if the prince will attack them again.
They still remember clearly what happened to the two concubines last year, and they really can't afford to be hurt. Fortunately, if there is anything abnormal again, their son Mo Ge should be able to find it...
Then there will be no problem.
Believe in your son, and you will have nothing to worry about.
After exchanging an affirmative look with the Fourth Prince, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min finally felt alive. Mo Yu, however, paid no attention to these undercurrents, because he was sleepy again.
Even if he was excited to see Master Kang, his frail body of three or four years old did not have enough energy to last through such a long meeting.
Seeing that this "welcome party" had no intention of ending, Mo Yu lowered his head and yawned quietly. He was just thinking about whether he could find a reason to leave and go home to sleep, when suddenly there was a big hand on his head.
He looked up reflexively, only to find that it was Master Kang who was touching his head.
Seeing his shocked face, Master Kang smiled even more brilliantly, and while laughing he said to Lin Ruhai beside him:
"My dear Lin, I see that your son is about the same age as my eighteenth prince, and he is also smart and clever. I liked him at first sight. Why don't you take him along for a few days and go shopping with us."
