71 071 Let go
◎Willful, focusing on a wild thought.◎
The crowd of spectators heard Mo Yu's gossip, but they didn't have time to think deeply for a while, but the Eighth Prince's heart was like a mirror.
Because Mo Yu's casual remark hit the point, which directly broke his defense.
He originally intended to plot the throne, not only made friends with many literati and generals, but also got close to many strange people recently, and Zhang Deming was one of them.
What surprised him the most was that Zhang Deming had actually said this - not to mention "The King is so white" and so on, the key point was that even the scene was restored so realistically, to the point of being exactly the same, which made the Eighth Prince feel more and more scalp numb.
It is now the fourth month of the lunar calendar, which happens to be the season when white magnolia flowers are in full bloom.
The Eighth Prince's mansion does plant a lot of white magnolia flowers, because this is the favorite of the Eighth Prince Fu Jin - the Eighth Prince Fu Jin who has always been known for his jealousy and was named "foxy" by the Four Lords. He is
also one of the protagonists of the "One Life, One Life, One Couple" that has been talked about the most in many movies and TV dramas.
This Fu Jin is the granddaughter of Prince An Yue Le, and has the blood of Khan Nurhaci for several generations. In short, she is a combination of beauty and wisdom.
A beautiful woman of noble birth is certainly worthy of a beautiful flower like white magnolia.
But in fact, this white magnolia is not only liked by Fu Jin, but also by the Eighth Prince.
Because the white magnolia means "noble and above dust", it just fits the Eighth Prince's positioning of himself - although it is said that his biological mother, Concubine Liang, was born in the Xinzheku, but he himself grew up under the lap of Concubine Hui. As
the saying goes, make up for what you lack, it doesn't matter if you don't have a noble mother's family, it's not bad if your adoptive mother's family is noble.
Isn't it the same for his fourth brother? His biological mother, Concubine De, is not much more noble than his own mother, Concubine Liang.
The most important thing is, putting all these aside, even if his birth is not noble, but his character is noble.
And this kind of noble character is more rare than noble birth, more extraordinary and unworldly, just like this pure white magnolia flower, solitary, pure, although not ostentatious, but the flower shape is beautiful, the fragrance is overflowing, it is simply a symbol of beauty, nobility, and independence. Just like
his eighth prince himself...
...
Just, he is happy.
Mo Yu silently watched System 006 playing him the past and present lives of the eighth prince and the magnolia flower, and the unity of man and flower (?), and felt sick.
But what he didn't know was that the Eighth Prince
was a worse person than him. Ever since Mo Yu mentioned the word "Wang Shang Jia Bai", he became nervous and almost wanted to jump up and refute it on the spot. After all, if this matter was found out, he would at least be considered to have a disloyal heart and covet the throne. If the emperor got angry and took it seriously, he might be beheaded.
Fortunately, he was always cautious and soon realized that if he jumped out to refute it at this time, it would make him look guilty and backfire, just like the prince, and it would be a loss - yes, he had sent people to investigate the prince's experience before, and he wrote it down and referred to it repeatedly.
Although he was not at the scene and did not know what the prince heard, he knew the prince's reaction after hearing it, as well as the emperor's reaction.
Obviously, the situation at that time was the same as now. It was also the little kid from the Lin family who said something incredible, which made the prince panic, kneel down to apologize, or hit someone... So, the prince was so panicked and scared that he couldn't help but hit such a young child. He was really pushed to the limit, right?
The Eighth Prince boasted that he knew the personalities of his older brothers (who might compete for the throne) better, especially their second brother, the prince, who was the focus of their careful study and serious thinking.
The key is that the second brother's temperament is not the type that is particularly difficult to predict. To put it simply, the prince is being watched by everyone, and he is also full of flaws. This
means that... his thoughts are not completely transparent to his brothers, but they can guess most of them.
Therefore, the prince must be very anxious to do this.
And what the little kid from the Lin family said must be very exciting. Maybe it's about the deposed prince...
The eighth prince is very smart. At this moment, he has thought about the current situation over and over for a long time, and even compared the prince's experiences, and finally came to the final conclusion.
That is, you must not panic.
It is not okay to jump out and confess or deny after hearing such a small thing, and it is even worse to do something to the child of the Lin family.
What is the difference between that and "there is no silver here".
The fate of the prince is the best lesson. On the contrary, the performance of the fourth prince is worth learning. Anyway, no matter what the child said, it is just one word, pretend not to hear it.
Anyway, even if everyone heard it, they can't talk about it or use it to make things, so what is there to be afraid of.
As for the emperor's father, he can think of other ways to cover it up and get it over with.
The eighth prince made up his mind and wanted to continue standing there and pretending to be calm. But what was unexpected was that Mo Yu quickly changed his tone, and directly dropped the gossip about Zhang Deming, Zhang Mingde and the Eighth Prince, and began to seriously taste the white magnolia tea with barbecue.
The content of his thoughts also changed to gourmet recipes and how to make it more delicious...
This sudden change of thinking was really unheard of, and the onlookers felt that they were not satisfied yet, especially Master Kang. Therefore, after "listening" for a while, he really couldn't help it, and immediately ordered people to bring up the hot pot and sugar water that Mo Yu had been thinking about...
Hot pot is a local way of eating in the capital, but they also have it on the grassland, and it is actually not a rare thing. Now that the little thing from the Lin family likes it, let him eat it freely, as long as he is happy and reveal some explosive news.
Mo Yu was so happy that he couldn't help but flatter Master Kang in his heart, which made Master Kang a little embarrassed. However, seeing how delicious
Mo Yu was eating and how he took the initiative to tell Master Kang how to make the dipping sauce, Master Kang immediately arranged it and tried it himself.
Unexpectedly, this improved version of hot pot seemed to be even more delicious. Even a very self-disciplined person like Master Kang couldn't help but eat several bowls, which made the chief eunuch of the kitchen almost cry - because they all knew the rules in the palace. Even if the emperor liked to eat, he couldn't eat too much. He could only eat three mouthfuls.
Emma, what's going on? How come the emperor ate three bowls in the blink of an eye?
Although it's hot pot, most of it is soup and vegetables, but it can't be like this?
What on earth did the young master of the Lin family do? Our work is going to be ruined. Please don't eat anymore, Your Majesty...
That's what they said, but Master Kang was enjoying his meal, and no one dared to complain to him in person. Everyone could only look at Mo Yu, hoping that he would think of some interesting gossip after he was happy so that Your Majesty would forget about the hot pot - it's the fourth bowl, I really can't eat any more.
I don't know if he heard the thoughts of the chief eunuch in the kitchen, but Mo Yu suddenly developed a strong interest in a dish of sticky rice, red bean paste and sweet egg custard - it wasn't because he accidentally made the dipping sauce too strong, but mainly because he accidentally put too much chili.
Of course, sweet things can best relieve the spiciness.
When Mo Yu thought of this, he couldn't help but think of Nian Gengyao - don't ask, just ask, sticky, soup, scoop, haven't you tried the pun?
That's not important. What's
important is that when he thought of Nian Gengyao, he thought of the Four Great Masters, and when he thought of the Four Great Masters, he thought of the Eighth Prince.
After all, the most exciting part of the Nine Sons' Fight for the Heir was the battle between these two hidden black-bellied bosses. It's
much more exciting than the prince and the eldest prince fighting in public with real swords and guns, shouldn't we think more about it?
It's definitely not because of the crazy eating just now, which was spicy and sweet, and almost made his taste buds explode.
Ah, it's so delicious!
In short, while Mo Yu was eating top-notch delicacies, he was thinking about this and that, and I don't know why he thought of the Eighth Prince again. Of course, because of Nian Gengyao, I also thought of Concubine Nian and Qian Mingshi.
The former is Nian Gengyao's sister and one of the most popular characters in novels and movies.
The latter happened to be present and was the third place winner of this year's imperial examination... just happened to have the same imperial examination ranking as Mo Yu's cheap father Lin Ruhai in this world, so he deserves extra attention?
Not to mention the huge difference between Concubine Nian's experience in movies and TV series and in history, which is basically the difference between unofficial history and official history.
Qian Mingshi was also miserable. He and Nian Gengyao took the provincial examination in the same year and they had a good relationship. When Master Kang valued Nian Gengyao, Qian Mingshi was still a small editor in the Hanlin Academy. At the request of Master Kang, he wrote a few poems to send off General Nian before he went to war. The fourth master secretly took note of this.
When the fourth master killed Nian Gengyao in the future, Qian Mingshi was also implicated... He even made a plaque with the words "Sinner of the Orthodox Religion" written by him and had people hang it on the door. He also had hundreds of people write poems or go to his house to insult him. This crazy act of revenge was just for the reason that he wrote a poem praising his current enemy many years ago. It really makes people suspect that he 's mental state...
So, the fourth master did have many advantages as the emperor, and he governed the country very well. The most important thing is that Master Kang spent so much money on six southern tours and countless eastern, western, northern and other tours that almost emptied the national treasury. This was also saved by the fourth master's frugality, rectification of government affairs and overthrow of corrupt officials.
Think about the hole that Master Kang made after decades of extravagance, and the fourth master filled it in just a dozen years. How many people can have this ability?
So, isn't it normal to have a little problem of holding grudges?
Back to the Eighth Prince, after the fortune teller predicted that he would be "a king with white hair", he also praised him for his wealth and noble appearance, and even made a magical dichotomy of the word "美" in his nickname, saying something like "Eighth Prince", "Eight Great King", "Big Turtle Bastard". Oh, okay, the latter part doesn't count, that was made up by others.
In short, the central idea is that the Eighth Prince will succeed to the throne in the future.
What about the Four Great Masters?
This is not a joke.
That's not all, this old Taoist even took the initiative to ask for help, saying that he has more than a dozen brothers who are good at martial arts, and as long as the Eighth Prince gives an order, they can immediately take the head of Prince Yinreng without anyone noticing...
Emma, just make it up.
Why don't you go to heaven?
If you are so awesome, why don't you just kill all those people in the palace and become the emperor yourself?
Just brag.
Is there anyone who believes this kind of charlatan?
Unfortunately, of course there are people who believe him.
Anyway, the people in the Eighth Prince's group all think that this is particularly true. If the Eighth Prince doesn't inherit the throne, who will inherit it?
The old immortal said it, and it's so good...
The interesting thing is that the emperor is not too anxious, but the people around him are so excited, but the Eighth Prince himself is very excited - not because he is said to be noble and capable of inheriting the throne, but because he thinks that this old Taoist is talking nonsense and deceiving the emperor.
It is said that he wanted to send the old Taoist to the palace to be punished by his beloved father.
Fortunately, the ninth and tenth princes were there at that time, and they managed to stop him.
[But everyone knows that this Eighth Prince is just acting, and he is actually very happy in his heart.]
After Mo Yu made this conclusion, the Eighth Prince could not sit still again.
He was shocked and afraid, thinking that this little kid from the Lin family was really powerful. He had only heard this kid talk about other people's affairs before, but he didn't realize it. Now that it happened to him, he realized that this matter was really overwhelming.
So the question is, should he jump out and kneel down to confess his guilt?
Or should he continue to grit his teeth and insist on playing dumb?
Anyway, we must not do anything to this kid - even if we really want to do it, it's too late, this child has already lost everything.
When the Eighth Prince was struggling, Master Kang spoke:
"Today's Qionglin Banquet is over, all of you dear ministers, please kneel down and leave the palace. Brothers, follow me back to the South Study to talk."
