98 098 New Year's Greetings
◎Long live the New Year! Happy New Year to you!◎
Rather than a surprise, it was more of a shock at first.
Mo Yu heard as soon as she entered the palace that Honghui had fallen ill before the New Year.
At first it was just a minor illness, but then it became increasingly serious, even to the point where preparations for his funeral were needed. Fortunately, a Western doctor from the Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital was urgently summoned to the palace and gave Honghui some Western medicine. After half a month, the child actually recovered.
This was another huge surprise. It
was just a little strange, and I always felt that something was wrong.
Mo Yu quickly pulled up System 006, but found that this period was exactly when Honghui was sick and gradually became serious. If he delayed for half a year, he would die. "Aisinjueluo Honghui, the eldest son of Emperor Yongzheng, died on the sixth day of the sixth month of the 43rd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, at the age of seven.
But because of the existence of the Chinese and Western medicine combined hospital, little Honghui saved his life and did not have to die.
So, can the fate of these people be changed? Then
...
At this moment, Mo Yu had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but as long as he thought about it a little, he felt that it was really troublesome.
Otherwise, just lie down and forget it.
It's really too tiring. As long as it's not a matter of life and death, there's no need to interfere too much.
For example, the eldest prince, even if you persuade him to stop, he won't do it, But in fact, he is still suitable for having children.
Although the eldest prince has not been imprisoned for failing to seize the throne, his obsession with having a son has always been very strong.
But up to now, although he is the oldest, he does not have an advantage in the number and age of his sons.
The worst thing is that his qualifications are not very good.
Not to mention the prince's son Hongxi, even the fourth prince's Honghui is not as good as him.
For this reason, the eldest prince has been very troubled.
Before, he and the eighth prince had been trying to oppose the prince, At least they have something to do, so
they don't have to focus all their attention on having a son. But Master Kang, with the help of Lin Ruhai and the four great masters, got rid of many corrupt officials, many of whom were from their faction, so they dared not act rashly.
Especially in the past one or two years, Suo'etu and Mingzhu are gone, but the prince is okay. After all, in addition to Suo'etu, there are many other ministers. Even if he doesn't rely on these people, the prince himself was trained by Master Kang himself, and he has many ideas of his own.
But As for the eldest prince, he originally had no ideas of his own and had always relied on Mingzhu the most.
After all, he was not the kind of person who was resourceful and cunning. To put it simply, he was just a little bit brainless. Such a person must rely on a strong think tank to accomplish anything.
Many times, he even thought that his own ideas were instilled in him by others.
In this situation, Mingzhu can be said to have made an "indispensable contribution".
Anyway, the situation of the nine princes competing for the throne was caused by very complicated reasons, and we can only He said that Mo Yu came at the right time and happened to be there, so he could just watch and eat melons to his heart's content.
But even so, he would still be happy that the fate of several innocent people was changed by him - you said that Master Kang liked to try new things, and he used Western medicine and Western medicine himself?
That's great, of course.
But the hospital combining Chinese and Western medicine only appeared ahead of time because of his advocacy.
It was also because of the early appearance of this medical institution that many people who were destined to die in history were saved again. Survived.
Isn't this a good thing?
In terms of his initial goal, it is already very good. Being able to save one child is well worth it.
Especially since there is a child who is destined to die young, it is even more of a merit. Especially
Honghui, he is the eldest son of the Fourth Master. Although Mo Yu did not have much contact with Honghui, he only knew him after entering the palace to work, but he could see that this classmate Honghui has good qualifications, at least he is not the type who is ambitious, extravagant and licentious.
They are all sons of the Fourth Master. If Honghui can survive, he may not have anything to do with the Fourth Master...
After all, Honghui's biological mother, Ulanara, is the first empress of the Fourth Master, the legitimate son of the Empress. A son is named after his mother, and Honghui's qualifications are not bad. If this child can survive, the future course of history will be uncertain.
Oh, yes, this is still based on the premise that the four great masters can smoothly succeed to the throne.
After all, the prince is still fine now. Although he has been scolded by Master Kang several times in a row, the father-son relationship between the two of them seems to have eased a lot...
Well, Master Kang is probably suffering from his old problem again, being hot and cold, close and distant, making the relationship between the monarch and his subjects and father and son seem like a love affair. No one else can be like this. Master Kang
asked Mo Yu to enter the palace, actually to tell him the good news and discuss with him the tour after the New Year.
Since Honghui can be rescued, then can the Eighteenth Prince and the Nineteenth Prince be rescued as well?
Everything is possible. Thinking of this, Mo Yu became even happier, and even looking at Master Kang's bald head didn't seem to be so annoying.
No, who's good man just got through the fifth day of the New Year, and the New Year atmosphere hasn't faded yet, but he brought him into the palace. Isn't it obvious that Master Kang wants him to have a miserable New Year and has to go out to work before he can even have a good time?
Really, what should he do if he has a vision of working life in the real world?
Mo Yu remembered that at that time, he didn't have many days off for the New Year, and he had to go to work on the sixth or seventh day of the New Year.
Unexpectedly, it has come to this point, and it is still like this. It really makes people feel extremely sad.
Seeing Master Kang's expression, Mo Yu couldn't help but laugh.
But he did have something serious to tell Mo Yu.
He didn't want to be so anxious, but he couldn't wait any longer.
Because his real purpose was to have a heart-to-heart talk with Mo Yu.
Yes, just as Mo Yu had "spoiled" many people before, Master Kang really had someone from the Sticky Rod Office to get information for him.
But he hadn't used this organization very much before. After all, it didn't sound like a good organization. It felt a bit like it was used for intelligence gathering and espionage.
To be honest, at the beginning, this organization didn't even have a name - after all, it was established when Oboi was captured, and both the organizational structure and personnel configuration were very random.
After Oboi fell, Master Kang didn't know what to do with these people for a while, so he kept them in the palace.
He originally thought that these people were his great contributors, and he must not neglect them. He made them guards and took good care of them. But he was afraid that Oboi's power was too great, and he couldn't protect these people, but let them be retaliated by Oboi.
To be honest, many of these young guards were of noble birth, but they also knew the dangers and were willing to sacrifice their lives for Master Kang's power-grabbing plan.
They were so kind, Master Kang would definitely not abandon them, so he openly appointed those who were high enough in status and could protect themselves as officials, and those who were lower in status and had no ability to protect themselves, he let them continue to stay in the palace, occasionally giving them some errands, which were all some kind of information gathering. Over time, it became a "sticky rod place".
After a few decades, these little brothers gradually grew old, and because of Master Kang's deliberate care, they all lived safely and steadily until they retired in old age.
But they were not ungrateful people. Master Kang was good to them, and they also wanted to repay Master Kang.
However, what they learned were some boxing and assassination skills. After getting rid of Oboi, they had no place to use their skills.
Each of them adopted an orphan or secretly found a talented young man in the clan to be their apprentice, and taught them all kinds of knowledge, hoping that they would be able to fulfill the responsibility of secretly helping the Wansui Ye.
At the beginning, they just collected and inquired about various information, and then gradually formed a system. Master Kang was also unintentional, but in the end, it turned out to be a
blessing in disguise, which can be regarded as an unexpected harvest. In short, after so many years of development and growth, this sticky rod department has begun to take shape. Although it is not as mysterious and magical as described in those movies and TV dramas, it is actually possible to dig out some things.
For example, Master Kang knew that their Lin family was invited by the Shi family and the Jia family to have New Year's wine a few years ago.
And he even knew some details. For example, Lin Ruhai's suggestions to the Shi family on cultivating the talented children of the adopted family, and most importantly, Mo Yu's suggestions to the old lady of the Jia family.
Master Kang is so sharp that he has actually discovered the problems between his family and the four kings and eight dukes, the former "slaves".
Although these people are all respected, and they are kings of different surnames, dukes, marquises, etc., many of them are slaves of bannermen.
It is precisely because of the merits of their ancestors that they have taken bribes, colluded with parties, and embezzled public funds for their own benefit that so many parasites have been cultivated. This situation is very similar to the Lai family and the Jia family.
It was because Master Kang figured out the secrets in the middle early that he was so anxious to get Mo Yu into the palace.
Anyway, the young princes can no longer rest after the fifth day of the first lunar month. They will start to go to school on the sixth day of the first lunar month. So Mo Yu was supposed to serve in the palace.
Now it is just following the routine.
It's just that before going to the study to serve the young princes, Master Kang summoned Mo Yu first.
Although Mo Yu was confused, he responded very appropriately and did not act impolitely. This alone made him far better than many old officials.
When Master Kang saw Mo Yu, he first greeted him with a smile, and then changed the subject and went straight to the point.
"I heard that your family went to the Shi family and the Jia family to have New Year's wine before the New Year?"
Mo Yu was stunned, then nodded and admitted: "To answer your Majesty, that's right."
Master Kang smiled and said, "How did it feel?"
What?
Mo Yu couldn't help but feel a little suspicious when he saw Master Kang like this, but he didn't show anything on his face. He just picked out the main points and talked about the things they talked about at the banquet of Shi's family and Jia's family.
But he looked normal on the surface, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
[What are you pretending to be? It seems that you don't know anything. Don't you have a sticky place? Could it be that they are also on holiday for the New Year? It's impossible? Looking at your expression, it doesn't seem like... You must be making fun of me! ]
Mo Yu decisively decided to trust his intuition and deal with it according to what Master Kang was doing secretly.
Master Kang was helpless. He wanted to remind him that he could hear everything, but he couldn't say it in the end. Forget it, let it be like this. Anyway, he has been used to it for a long time.
But Mo Yu's guess turned out to be correct. Master Kang's questions were just a cover.
What he really wanted to ask was what idea Mo Yu had given to Jia's mother, and why the women were so excited that they were all ready to attack the Lai family. He was probably over fifty years old, and had become much more mature and wise. He compared the situation in his own family and gave up.
Now that Mo Yu was here, he knew that he couldn't do these roundabout ways anymore, so he asked directly about the family of the manager of the Jia family.
"Xiao Linzi, tell me about your grandmother Jia's family, what's the matter with the manager?"
Mo Yu understood immediately after hearing this.
"So the Lord Wansui is asking about their family."
[Emma, so you want to ask about their family, then you should have said it earlier.]
Master Kang's beard was trembling a little - I have to be able to say it too, haven't I already said it as early as possible.
Looking at Master Kang's eyes, Mo Yu finally got to the point and didn't keep him in suspense - just kidding, the old man's expression of eagerness to eat melons made him feel that if he didn't hurry up and say it, he would die. Okay
, then tell it, anyway, the Sticky Rod Office has probably collected almost the same information, it's nothing more than saying it again through his mouth.
I don't know if his mouth is blessed, why do they have to make him say it again.
So Mo Yu did not hide anything and directly told Master Kang how he had given advice to Jia's mother and how he had guided the women in the mansion to brainstorm and unite to find a way to deal with Lai Dajia.
At the end, he also concluded: "Originally, they were servants born in the Jia family, but they dared not remember the kindness of their master and did such a thing of abusing power, being corrupt, and eating from the inside out. The number of gold and silver servants in their own family is only slightly less than that of the Jia family. If they don't deal with such servants, would they still keep them for the New Year?" As soon
as Mo Yu finished speaking, Master Kang applauded and cheered: "Well, if they don't deal with them, would they still keep them for the New Year... So they dealt with their whole family before the New Year?"
Mo Yu laughed: "Your Majesty is really a joker. It's not that fast. It was after the New Year that they started to take action."
But what he didn’t say was that because they were well prepared in the days before the New Year, and because the Lai family relaxed their vigilance because they were preparing for the New Year—or maybe it wasn’t that they relaxed their vigilance, but that they were completely unprepared. For
so many years, the Jia family had been a big tree that they could pick at will, and they had always been used to picking at it. Who would have thought that one day this big tree would suddenly become a man-eating tree?
Anyway, when the Jia family rushed in to attack them, they were still drinking and having fun, which was a bit like the search and seizure of the Grand View Garden.
However, the search and seizure of the Grand View Garden was a fight between the Jia family and it was purely internal consumption. It had no meaning at all except to reflect the power struggle between Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, and it also had no good impact.
But the search and seizure of the Lai family was very good.
Although Lai Shangrong escaped from slavery, he was powerless to save the nearby fire, and could only watch his family being destroyed - so it is said that the aristocratic families are like centipedes that are dead but not yet stiff, and the means of disciplining slaves are really powerful.
The Rongguo Mansion is in such a state, but it can still take such actions, which is really impressive.
Master Kang was also deeply touched by this, so he invited Mo Yu to the palace to "chat".
What surprised Mo Yu was that after he finished clapping, he blurted out a sentence: "Xiao Linzi has finished speaking, and all the ministers have listened to it. What do you think?"
[Well, you are getting more and more familiar with the name "Xiao Linzi". Are you dreaming of the time when you captured Oboi with Xiao Guizi in The Deer and the Cauldron? 】
Mo Yu complained silently while looking at the bald heads of a group of ministers behind the screen, including his cheap father Lin Ruhai. He felt a little bad.
Oh my god, his father is here, isn't this just showing off his skills in front of an expert?
Mo Yu felt that he was simply dying on the spot, but Master Kang was obviously very happy.
He was a little surprised at what "The Deer and the Cauldron" and "Little Guizi" were, but when it came to "getting rid of Oboi", he finally understood.
Although this little kid from the Lin family often says some weird things, but, after a long time, you get used to it. This child must be praising him...
It must be like this, the "Emperor of the Ages" was originally said by this child.
I also think that I am the greatest emperor of all time, hahahaha…
Master Kang prepared himself mentally very easily, and then followed Mo Yu to cast very interested glances at the group of court officials he called over - yes, after experiencing the initial awkward time, Mo Yu quickly resurrected.
Why does he want to be socially dead?
It was Master Kang who plotted against him, not him who wanted to "show off his skills in front of these big guys. Whoever designed him to do this first should be embarrassed - yes, Master Kang himself didn't feel embarrassed, so why should he be embarrassed? Just like
that, do whatever you need to do, no need to be embarrassed, there's nothing wrong with that.
Mo Yu quickly overcame his psychological shadow, and followed Master Kang to show an expression of watching a show.
[So, how are all the big guys going to deal with it? It really makes people wait and see! Oh, especially since someone from the Jia family is here, that's even more interesting.
Jia She was the first to break out in a cold sweat, because this matter was too relevant, it was tailor-made for the four kings and eight dukes.
Especially the two people from their Jia family, didn't their ancestors follow the Thai emperor to build the country?
And at that time, they were both bondservants, wasn't it exactly the same as the relationship between the Lai family and the Jia family?
After all, you still have to ask him what he thinks, isn't this forcing him to slap himself in the face?
Jia She came because he had the title of Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Zheng came because of Jia Yuanchun's face.
However, on this point, the two brothers were equally useless. Jia Zhen was the younger generation, so it was hard for him to say anything. They were all at the bottom, and Master Kang embarrassed them in public, so they couldn't say anything.
Master Kang naturally felt very annoyed, so he asked the Shi family to speak again.
The current head of the Shi family is two marquises. The second oldest, Baoling Marquis, was the first to reply: "Your Majesty, you are right. I should recognize my status and never think of overstepping my authority."
The third oldest, Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding, also said: "Brother, you are right. I also think that if someone forgets his roots, he should be severely punished."
As the only family with a marquis seat left among the four major families, the two marquises of the Shi family are still clear-headed.
What they said was really smart, and it immediately made Master Kang very happy.
"Okay! What do you say, Prince Teng?"
Mo Yu only saw at this time that someone from the Wang family had also come.
That's right, it's the first day of work in the first month of the lunar year,
so there's nothing to do. The main purpose is to pay New Year's greetings to Master Kang. Because they want to have a festive and lively atmosphere, they don't even need to follow the standards of attending court on weekdays. Anyone who wants to come can come. Otherwise, even if Jia Yuanchun, the concubine, is already the Princess of Ping County, and Jia Zheng, a small fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Works, has been promoted to the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Works because of Yuanchun's relationship.
But it's still not enough.
If it wasn't for the New Year, he wouldn't be qualified to enter the palace.
This time, he entered the palace, thinking that he was going to pay New Year's greetings to Master Kang and join in the fun, but he didn't expect that his family would become the cause of the fun.
At first, when Jia Zheng heard Master Kang asking Mo Yu about the New Year's wine party at the Shi and Jia families, he was very proud, because he was the one who organized the New Year's wine party at Rongguo Mansion this time.
But as he listened, he felt something was wrong.
Why was His Majesty so interested in the fact that his family beat up their own servants, the Lai family?
Although he was a bit dull, he was not ignorant of everything. When he heard Master Kang teaching them to express their opinions on this, he felt very bad.
Especially since everyone present heard what Mo Yu was thinking.
[Isn't this a slap in the face in public, an insinuation that they are to the royal family the same as the Lai family is to the Jia family? 】
The little nephew of the Lin family asked them if their faces hurt. He wanted to say that his uncle's face really hurt, but it didn't matter. As long as the Jia family could get better, it didn't matter if his uncle's face was bruised... I just didn't know if the Jia family had any way to save him.
Although Jia Zheng didn't react that quickly, his mind was not completely dead.
He quickly thought that he must report to Jia's mother after returning. Oh, now even Jia Jing has returned home. If there is anything, he can discuss it with the big brother in the East Palace. He is more reliable than his own big brother Jia She.
Jia Zheng's mind was full of twists and turns, but Master Kang didn't ask him at all.
He first asked the Shi family, and then asked about the Wang family. Anyway, he didn't ask about the Jia family. This actually vaguely revealed the actual ranking of the four major families in Master Kang's mind.
The Shi family, which still has two marquises, is indeed ranked at the top, and then there is the Wang family, which has the title of earl, but has declined in this generation and has a Beijing Camp Jiedushi.
Wang Ziteng is the Beijing Camp Jiedushi of the Wang family. He is Wang Xifeng's second uncle and the hope of the Wang family's revival.
This was also the first time that Mo Yu met this legendary uncle of the Wang family. He was indeed born with extraordinary bravery and looked like a military general. No wonder he continued to follow the path of a military general.
The position of the current governor of the Beijing Camp was inherited from Jia Daihua, but because he himself was quite capable, he would be promoted soon.
In the original novel, he seemed to have given birth to the governor of nine provinces? That was a second-rank official with real power, which was simply awesome.
As soon as Wang Ziteng opened his mouth, Mo Yu immediately understood why he had such good luck.
It was all because this cheap uncle was so capable - it was completely the military general's way of saying "I don't know anything, but I know that what Your Majesty said must be right"...
Very simple and very effective.
As for whether Wang Ziteng went to raid the Jia family's house in the end, this is all unofficial history and cannot be verified.
But at least, in the sequel, this uncle of the Wang family finally became very successful. After the Jia family fell, he was promoted again, but he died of illness on the way to be sent out.
That is why the Wang family treated Jia Qiaojie so badly. The child was the only flesh and blood of Fengjie, but she was sold by Wang Ren so casually. This is also a tragic thing that makes people sigh.
These are all later stories. Anyway, Master Kang is very fond of this now, and he does pay more attention to military generals. He obviously pays more attention to the words of Wang Ziteng than the words of the two marquises of the historian family.
After asking Wang Ziteng, Master Kang seemed to finally remember the main person of this time.
He looked at the three people from the Jia family who came to pay New Year's greetings, and finally called Jia She's name first: "General Jia, what do you think?"
Jia She was suddenly called by Master Kang, and his face turned pale and sweated profusely. God knows he just went to the palace to pay New Year's greetings in the first month of the lunar year according to custom, how could he get into such a mess?
Jia She actually knew that the Jia family took advantage of the New Year to deal with the Lai family. But he was too lazy to care, and left everything to his wife, Madam Xing.
Although Madam Xing has always been an embarrassing person, she is at least the legitimate daughter of a fifth-rank official in the capital, and has been a concubine for so many years. She has seen pigs run even if she has not eaten pork, and she is not completely ignorant of the methods of those harems.
Therefore, she was radiant for a while. As soon as she opened her eyes every day, she would run to the flower room for meetings to meet with other female relatives and discuss things enthusiastically. The effect was quite good.
After more than ten years of marriage, Jia She had never seen his wooden second wife so excited.
Therefore, he rarely showed some interest in this matter, and Mrs. Xing was so happy to see that he actually condescended to ask her about it that she told him everything.
Jia She was not interested in the so-called "strategies" and "methods" involved. He was just happy when he heard that the final result of this action was to take back the Lai family's property.
As long as he had money and could continue to spend, he was happy.
As for the rest, let them do whatever they want.
Anyway, even if he does nothing, he is the heir to the title of the Duke of Rong, and he has inherited the title of first-class general. What is there to be afraid of ?
If there are bold and cunning servants who dare to harm the master, why not kill them and take back the property?
How come this matter has even been heard by the emperor?
Didn’t His Majesty ask what this means?
Jia She was confused, but he didn’t dare to say anything. It happened that he remembered that his younger brother Jia Zheng was here today, so he immediately made a decision that was very consistent with his personality.
"In reply to Your Majesty, this matter was handled by my second brother Jia Zheng and his wife, and
I am not aware of it." This is a typical case of the elder brother dying rather than the younger brother.
Mo Yu, who was watching the show on the side, couldn't stand it anymore.
Master Kang and others also showed contempt for Jia She. But, as the saying goes, you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep. This is the case with Jia She.
No matter what others say about him, how they look down on him or how they belittle him, he doesn't mind.
For him, the most important things in the world are eating, drinking and having fun. As long as this satisfies him, he doesn't care whether the world is going to be destroyed or not?
Who cares.
Master Kang obviously thought of some bad memories, so he was too lazy to talk to Jia She anymore, and immediately turned around and asked Jia Zheng:
"So what does this dear Jia have in mind?"
As soon as this was said, Jia Zheng knelt down with a bang.
While he kowtowed, he kept saying, "Your Majesty, you are too kind! I dare not! I also think that Marquis Baoling, Marquis Zhongjing, and the governor of Jingying are very right."
This is a typical case of adding one's thinking, that is, he agrees with whatever others say, without any ideas of his own.
If it were an ordinary monarch, it would be a safe way to save his life.
But for Master Kang, it is completely useless. It
even has a counterproductive effect.
After all, he really wants to hear everyone's ideas.
Especially the people from the Jia family, he stayed until the end because he wanted the Jia family to introduce their successful experience.
They are both dealing with disobedient servants, and because the Jia family has succeeded, this experience is very valuable to Master Kang.
Besides, he could also use this to test the attitude of the Jia family - the plan was good, but unfortunately the two Jia family members did not play by the rules.
Whether they were too lazy or too stupid, or their grades were too low, it was useless.
Yes, after hitting the nail on the head with Jia She and Jia Zheng, Master Kang no longer had the heart to ask Jia Zhen.
Anyway, no one in the Jia family was worry-free.
Mo Yu also deeply agreed with this.
The Jia family is really hopeless.
Oh, to be more precise, the men of the Jia family are hopeless. Just
look at the character of these three people and you will know. If it wasn't for the fact that it was old lady Jia who came to Mo Yu for a "heart-to-heart talk" that day, it is estimated that the Lai family is still very safe.
So, what's the use of these playboys?
Mo Yu silently complained, and actually won the approval of almost half of the people present.
Among this majority of people, there are Master Kang himself, and Li Guangdi and other important figures who came from the imperial examination.
Hereditary succession and imperial examination are originally two lines. The former relies on the influence of ancestors, and the latter relies on personal efforts. There is indeed a natural gap between them.
Most of the hereditary successors are playboys, and the few capable ones are also thinking about proving themselves through the imperial examination.
As a result, people who come from the imperial examination have an aura of superiority - but in fact, those who inherit the title from hereditary succession are truly superior.
Even if it is the Jia family, which has been downgraded to the fourth generation and has almost no titles left, they can still live a glorious life.
Not to mention Jia Zhen of the fourth generation, he inherited the title of the third-class general of Ningguo Prefecture. After all, he is a third-rank official, and he was even able to buy a fifth-rank official position of Longjinwei for his son Jia Rong.
Jia Rong of the fifth generation was actually able to directly buy a fifth-rank official position, which is a height that many Jinshi who came from the imperial examination can hardly reach in their lifetime.
Even if there is no hereditary title, like Lin Ruhai, if you have outstanding talents, it is like turning on cheats.
Apart from other things, if Lin Ruhai had not been backed by his five generations of noble families, even if he had excellent abilities in his own province, Master Kang would not have dared to use him so freely.
He would not have been promoted so quickly in such a short time.
Anyway, although the two forces of hereditary succession and imperial examinations disliked each other, the last time they had such a good time was the last time - for example, when Suo Etu was imprisoned in the clan house, they still had a good time.
Now seeing the three hereditary nobles of the Jia family suffer this setback, they are all very happy.
But of course, this happiness cannot be shown, they are all scholars, and scholars cannot lose their manners.
So generally they would not laugh, unless they really couldn't help it...
Master Kang didn't have so many fuss, of course he just laughed when he wanted to.
After laughing, he started to do business.
After all, he was the greatest emperor in history, and his mind was still very clear.
After he heard the report from the Sticking Rod Office about what Mo Yu talked about with the old lady of the Jia family at the Jia family, he suddenly had an idea and had his own ideas.
Now he had to bring Mo Yu and the people from the four major families into the palace, just because he wanted to confirm the truth of the incident in person, and by the way, see what expressions the servants had when they knew he was going to take action...
So sometimes you have to admit that Master Kang still has a kind of evil taste.
Fortunately, everything was almost as he expected, and Master Kang let them go with satisfaction.
Of course not all of them, Lin Ruhai and Li Guangdi stayed, and it is estimated that the Fourth Prince will also stay.
Mo Yu went directly to the next hall and ran to the study to continue to perform his duties as an "assistant teacher".
Of course, the class had already started at this time, and the old tutor with a white beard was wearing a new dress that he had only worn during the Chinese New Year.
Mo Yu saluted respectfully. Before, Master Kang had directly sent people to the study to arrest people, and the old tutor knew it, so he was a little surprised that he came back so soon.
But he was still a little happy besides being surprised.
After all, this shows that even if the young master of the Lin family has won the favor of the Wansui Lord, he is still the humble and polite elementary school student, which really makes the old tutor feel very happy.
So he didn't say much, just told Mo Yu to go back to his seat and sit down. However,
Mo Yu still smiled and performed all the etiquette. Not only did he apologize and confess his sins, he even wished the old tutor a happy new year and a happy Chinese New Year...
The old tutor said, why is this child so popular. Well, I will continue to be an assistant teacher this year...
And if I need to take a day off, I will just turn a blind eye.
Immediately receiving the kindness of the old tutor, Mo Yu was very happy to say that he was really happy this time.
[As long as you don't force me to study, old tutor, we are good friends. ]
In response, the old tutor said, thank you for warming my four seasons.
The errands in the palace went on smoothly, and soon it was time for the afternoon classes to end.
When Mo Yu walked out of the study, he actually saw Lin Ruhai guarding him, and next to him was the fourth master whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Mo Yu was slightly startled, and was about to salute, but the fourth master said with a cold face: "Alright! No need to salute."
Mo Yu was very confused about what this big Buddha remembered to come to see him, but he also knew not to say anything when he shouldn't.
So he just thanked him and stood there obediently.
But this didn't stop him from complaining crazily in his heart.
[No, fourth master, why are you looking for me at this time? Are you afraid that your relationship with our old man is not exposed, so you two are standing here together waiting for me to get out of school? ]
"Hearing" this, the fourth master silently stepped back half a step to the side, looking at Lin Ruhai's calm expression, he was hesitant to speak.
Finally, he sighed and said, "Since Young Master Lin has finished his classes, why don't we go back home and talk while walking?"
Lin Ruhai was used to this, so he had no objection, and took Mo Yu to follow the Fourth Prince out of the palace.
Someone had already reported this to Master Kang.
Master Kang didn't care about it, and even laughed and said, "This is interesting, I don't know what they said."
He just mentioned it casually, and someone from the Sticking Rod Office had already followed him. Anyway, even though the Fourth Prince, Lin Ruhai, and the Lin family boy were already Master Kang's confidants,
he was still not at ease, and even had to send more people from the Sticking Rod Office to watch them.
The emperor was in charge.
Mo Yu followed Lin Ruhai and the Fourth Master on the Lin family's carriage and returned to the Lin family together.
As for why he didn't go to the mansion of the Four Great Masters, it's easy to figure out. It must be to avoid suspicion.
Now the Nine Princes' fight for the throne has entered a white-hot stage, and even entered the second stage ahead of time because of Mo Yu's existence.
Originally, the Four Great Masters should have been the hidden seed players until the end, and then they would "show their true colors" with the Eighth Prince.
Moreover, he hit the target with one strike, and directly destroyed the Eighth Prince, forcing him to turn to support the Fourteenth Prince.
The funniest thing is that the Fourteenth Prince is the biological brother of the Fourth Prince with the same father and mother, but this kid finally supported the Eighth Prince. I don't know what he was thinking in his little head.
In short, the current situation is that the nine princes' fight for the throne has directly skipped the period when the eldest prince and the crown prince were fighting each other and the other princes were standing by and watching, and has directly entered the period of chaos.
The eldest prince and the crown prince are of course still fighting non-stop. Even though Mingzhu and Suo Etu are dead, there are still many other people in their respective parties. Although
the eldest prince is slightly short of manpower, the eighth prince supports him more vigorously - I don't know what this eighth prince thinks. Could it be that he really wants to be the "Eighth Wise King"?
Impossible?
How could a person like him put aside his ambition and stature and sincerely assist someone he doesn't even look down on?
Anyway, Mo Yu doesn't believe it.
As for the third prince, he also entered the battle circle in advance, which is not so difficult to understand.
Anyway, now that everyone's cards are out in the open, there's actually nothing to be afraid of.
It's all about each relying on their own abilities.
Especially because of this, everyone's fight has been exposed, and it won't work to do anything secretly. Not to mention the backlash, but if Mo Yu is around, they will be exposed soon.
Who can not be jealous of such a person with "supernatural powers"?
Anyway, several princes are jealous.
It is also for this reason that since returning from the Southern Tour, the relationship between the Four Great Masters and their family has gone straight to the bottom after the initial warmth.
Today is the first time that the Four Great Masters have taken the initiative to look for them, and no one knows what he is up to.
