31 031 Settlement
◎How sad! You will have to pay for your mess sooner or later.◎
Although he had been prepared, after hearing the new gossip from System 006, Mo Yu still felt terrible - probably his worldview was completely shattered.
It can be said that before this, he had no idea what kind of world he had come to.
He had always thought that even if this world was a world of the Red Mansion with a Qing Dynasty background, the original work was known as a semi-autobiographical novel by the author, so this world should have some real history in it. However, what he
never expected was that this so-called "reality" was actually of this kind.
Most of the characters that Mo Yu has met so far have actually existed in history, but their characters and personalities are different...
Thinking of the prince who has some unspeakable affairs with his stepmother and the four great masters who love to sew clothes for small animals, Mo Yu suddenly feels that in such a fantasy world, it is not so hard to imagine that the late emperor liked someone else's wife.
After all, the "true love" of this late emperor, Dong Efei, was also married.
Maybe he likes it this way...
Even in this era, it is not illegal to like someone else's wife as long as the other person does not have a husband when you are together.
Even because it is this era, and one of the parties is already the emperor, it is not a big problem even if the other person has a husband.
The main theme is "true love is invincible".
As for whether the "clothes-sending incident" was really what the late emperor wanted at the time, or whether it was just a whim of "starting from emotion and ending with etiquette", Mo Yu no longer wanted to delve into it - although it is human nature to eat melons, you have to choose the right kind of melons.
Some rotten melons should not be eaten. Eating too much will not only cause diarrhea, but also irritate the eyes...
Nine lives!
[I never thought that the late emperor would play so much that he even didn't let go of his son's wet nurse! It's simply unbearable to look at it! ]
Mo Yu tried hard to recover from the shock of eating melons, but found that the people around him had become unusually quiet at some point.
And the expressions of those who intentionally or unintentionally glanced at him were also very suspicious.
It can't be...
Mo Yu was extremely confused and a little surprised. He even wondered if he was too absorbed in eating melons just now, so he accidentally let the cat out of the bag.
But after he carefully looked around, he soon discovered the truth of the matter.
It turned out that Master Kang was angry again for some reason.
The old man had a dark face at the moment, and he looked very depressed. I don't know who has offended him again. I always feel that this person must have done something too much. Look at how angry the old man is.
Mo Yu looked at the officials kneeling on the ground with some sympathy. If it weren't for his cheap father Lin Ruhai who was also kneeling, and even looked a little nervous and scared, he would have wanted to continue eating melons-this time, of course, he would eat the melons of the ministers kneeling on the ground.
So what exactly happened? In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere of the whole scene became like this.
Just when Mo Yu was about to call System 006 to tell him what the latest gossip was, he found that the atmosphere around him had changed again.
If everyone's emotions just now were more like fear and depression, now they are nervous and curious - the standard emotion of wanting to eat melons but afraid that the melons are too explosive.
Could it be that when he was distracted and listening to System 006 telling the old gossip about Master Kang's father, something big happened at the Zhen family's pick-up scene?
No, why is no one talking? The atmosphere is so awkward...
Say something, hey!
Seeing that everyone was hesitant to speak, Mo Yu became more and more curious. Just as he was thinking about whether to ask quietly, Master Kang suddenly spoke up and said in a deep voice:
"Nanny, you have worked hard to pick up the car today. You are old, and it is not easy for you to do these chores yourself. It is better to go back to your room and rest early, and go out less in the future. Just rest in peace in the mansion and spend the rest of your life."
The old lady of the Zhen family had been looking a little strange since the beginning, and her face changed drastically when she heard what Master Kang said. She was pale and wanted to say something, but after trying for a long time, she just blushed.
She was anxious, angry, frightened, and afraid, and was about to pass out, but Master Kang couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he waved his hand and ordered Zhen Yingjia to "help" her down to rest.
No one present dared to come out to plead for mercy for this punishment.
Even Zhen Yingjia, the biological son of the old lady of the Zhen family, didn't dare to say much. He just bowed his head and bowed deeply, thanked Master Kang for this grace, and then helped the old lady of the Zhen family to leave.
[No, this old lady doesn't look that bad, why does she suddenly want to go back to rest? ]
Although Mo Yu was a little confused, he was not familiar with the old lady of the Zhen family, so he didn't feel anything about it.
It was only at this moment that he suddenly felt that the eyes of the Zhen family looking at him at this time were a little pervasive, and he felt that this family was a little inexplicable.
Fortunately, he has always been open-minded. He just eats up the information revealed by System 006 and doesn't take it too seriously. So he doesn't have any opinion on the old lady of the Zhen family, the person at the center of the scandal...
But seeing her being supported by Zhen Yingjia and his wife and leaving, he couldn't help but comment in his heart:
[No matter whether the old lady and the late emperor had a one-sided or two-sided affair, she should have shown some sympathy for the sake of the gifted clothes... Can't you just be an old lady in Jinling? Why do you have to make trouble? After all, the late emperor has been gone for so long, and this matter should have been over long ago. Master Kang is not the kind of useless emperor who can tolerate sand in his eyes. It would be strange if he is not angry after making so many troubles. Mo Yu
had noticed that the atmosphere was getting weirder, but since no one came out to explain, he didn't bother to think about it.
Just thinking about it casually made him feel a little tired again! He
might as well take a nap.
Mo Yu could do whatever he wanted, but the others were very uncomfortable.
Especially Master Kang, he was ashamed and angry because he suddenly found out about the gossip between his wet nurse and the late emperor - after all, he also knew what his father-in-law was like. He was desperate for a concubine Dong E, and finally gave up everything and left such a big country to him when he was only eight years old. So it is
really hard to say whether there is anything to do with his wet nurse.
When the old lady of the Zhen family was his wet nurse, Dong E had not entered the palace yet, and he remembered that it was at that time that his late father-in-law liked to come to the prince's residence to see him the most...
He still remembered that his comforting father-in-law didn't care much about all the princes, but he was so abnormal at that time. Could it be true...
No, I can't think about it anymore.
It would be impolite to think about it again...
Master Kang tried hard to calm himself down with a dark face and stop thinking about it, but the more he did so, the more he couldn't help imagining what his most beloved father and nurse did beside his bed when he was young and ignorant... He
couldn't stop thinking
about it at all. And he knew very clearly that these thoughts existed in the minds of everyone present...
But he couldn't do anything about the person who broke the news, which was really infuriating. What
made him even more angry was that the person who made him and the entire royal family so embarrassed was no longer there.
The fear of being abandoned by his parents when he was young also came back.
But the instigator was no longer there.
Thinking of the late emperor, Master Kang's emotions became more and more violent. He had nowhere to vent his anger, which naturally made him more irritable.
Fortunately, Master Kang was not an ordinary person after all. In his extreme anger, he still retained some rationality, because he suddenly remembered that there was at least one other thing he could control.
After his rationality, which was briefly dispersed by anger and shame, returned, Master Kang issued a decision on the punishment of the old lady of the Zhen family.
Old Madam Zhen had served the royal family meritorious service, and she should live a good life. In the future, she could not leave the house unless summoned...
This was to lock up the old lady.
Next, he went to Lin Ruhai and the Fourth Prince to understand the situation of the Zhen family's involvement in the case.
After hearing about what the Zhen family had done over the years, he was furious and immediately issued an order to deal with the Zhen family decisively.
When the emperor is angry, millions of people are buried.
Master Kang's attitude was so obvious that naturally someone helped him to get everything done.
So within a day, the Zhen family, the largest aristocratic family in Jinling City in the past, was completely ruined.
The local people cheered and knelt along the way, shouting long live the emperor!
Everyone praised the righteousness of the emperor and the appearance of a saint, but Master Kang was the only one who fell into deep thought as he looked at the real "silent hero"...
So the Zhen family is really guilty of heinous crimes and has aroused public anger.
Is this child trying to give me a subtle advice in this way, admonishing me to make decisions as soon as possible, so that I can follow the will of the people and be a wise ruler?
It must be like this.
I feel like I have unlocked a new use for this child's natural talent.
Why not bring this child back to the capital when I return to the south this time?
There will definitely be many unforgettable expectations...
Thinking of this, Master Kang suddenly felt not so angry. It was definitely not just because he was praised by the people after dealing with the Zhen family, and he was in a much better mood.
This child is really a lucky star. I must stay by his side in the future and let him experience the sourness of "learning from others" all the time.
Emperor Taizong of Tang can do it, and Master Kang can do it too... This child is so cute. Compared with Wei Zheng, a loyal minister who speaks in a stiff manner, the little bit of unpleasantness brought by his muttering in his heart is nothing.
So, Mo Yu, who was dozing off in the corner, suddenly felt his hair stand on end, as if he was being stared at by some ferocious beast.
He opened his eyes with some doubt, but happened to see the kind smile of Master Kang.
Mo Yu shivered even more, but his body responded before his consciousness: "Mo Yu pays respects to the long live master."
Master Kang smiled even more kindly, and even reached out to touch Mo Yu's head, and said with a smile: "Good boy, you have done a great deed again today, how about you follow me to the city for a walk tomorrow?"
