You have to know that this dam, which is built entirely by manpower, will take at least three to four years or four to five years, or even longer.
Perhaps something else happened in the meantime, causing the construction of this dam to be delayed.
However, the Fourth Master shortened the construction time of the dam to two years, and during this period he did not cause any dissatisfaction among the workers who built the dam.
This already shows that the Fourth Master is very capable in this area, and his reputation in the capital is also very good, so this is also the reason why Emperor Kangxi, after careful consideration, finally decided to appoint the Fourth Master as the Crown Prince.
However, when the third brother learned that the emperor had issued an edict to appoint the fourth brother as the crown prince, he was so angry that he smashed everything in his study.
The servants walking outside did not dare to come in when they heard the noise. They knew that the Third Master was angry and if they went in, they might get hurt, so they could only wait outside.
However, someone also went to inform the Third Lady.
But it was useless for the Third Lady to come over, as she was directly driven out by the Third Master.
When Concubine Tian heard about this, she didn't say anything. She no longer relied on the favor of the Third Master to survive.
She held her grandson in her arms, teasing her and giving her a little wave drum to make her laugh.
When he heard the nanny beside him talking about what happened to the Third Master that day, he didn't show much expression.
She has always known that the Third Master is very ambitious. Now that the Fourth Master has become the crown prince, the Third Master must be unwilling to accept it. After all, he has put a lot of effort into that position.
Now that I am watching that position fall into the hands of someone else, how can I feel good?
But this is none of her business. She has already become indifferent to everything. She just wants to live the rest of her life in peace and quiet, and play with her little grandson when she has nothing to do.
She didn't want to get involved in other things, let alone know.
"Concubine, do you think the Third Master will do anything bad?" The nanny beside Tian Yurou said with some concern.
Now that the overall situation has basically been decided, the Third Master must be unwilling to accept this, otherwise he wouldn't be so angry.
If the Third Master wants to follow the path of the deposed Crown Prince, then their Third Master's Mansion will be finished.
Tian Yurou felt that what the nanny said made sense.
His son had finally gotten married and started a family. If the Third Master did something bad, wouldn't their Third Master's Mansion be in trouble...
No, absolutely not.
She handed the little grandson in her arms to the nanny and said, "Please have someone take him away to feed him and take good care of him."
The nanny took it, then carried the child out and handed it to the wet nurse, instructing them to take good care of the child, and then came back.
Tian Yurou was worried, so she thought she should go and see the Third Master and find out if he would take any other action.
She tidied herself up and walked towards the Third Master's front yard.
The capital was in an uproar because the Fourth Master suddenly became the Crown Prince, but now the imperial edict had been issued and announced to the world. It was impossible for them, the ministers, to let the Emperor depose the Crown Prince for no reason.
However, there were still some ministers who, relying on their own merits in their old age, dared to speak to the emperor and say that the Fourth Master was not worthy of sitting in this position.
But Emperor Kangxi would never allow these people to disobey his decision. He asked Liang Jiugong to read out the contributions made by the fourth brother over the years one by one, which completely slapped the faces of these old ministers.
They have always thought negatively of the Fourth Master, and always felt that he was not worthy of the position of Crown Prince.
But when Liang Jiugong listed all the tasks that the Fourth Master had done over the years and the things that none of these old ministers had done, he realized that the Fourth Master had done them all.
And he did it particularly well. Only then did they realize that the Fourth Master had done so many things.
Moreover, every item he picked out had great merit, so after hearing this, all the ministers in the court remained silent.
Even those who originally supported the Third Master fell silent.
After hearing about all these achievements, they felt that the Fourth Master was indeed worthy of the position of Crown Prince, and they had nothing to say.
Furthermore, once an imperial decree is issued, it cannot be changed. Most of them said this just to express their dissatisfaction. In fact, they knew very well in their hearts that this matter would not be resolved unless the Fourth Master did something like what he did to the deposed Crown Prince.
Otherwise, the throne will definitely belong to the Fourth Master in the future.
After the morning court session ended, the Third Master walked up to the Fourth Master with a gloomy face.
"Old Four, you are really great. I underestimated you."
He secretly hated himself for not getting rid of him. If he had died, he might be the crown prince now.
"Third Brother has quite a few tricks up his sleeve. Don't think that just because those people are dead, I don't know who's behind them."
The Fourth Master had a blank expression on his face, but his eyes were icy cold, making anyone who saw them feel a chill in their heart.
He still remembers the assassination attempt on his way back.
The Third Master suddenly felt a little panicked, but it was only for a moment. Those people were already dead and there was no evidence. Even if the Fourth Master knew that he was the one who sent those people, what could he do?
"I don't know what you are talking about. Don't try to put the blame on me." The Third Master glared at him angrily, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Third brother, take care of it yourself."
After saying this, he didn't waste any more time talking to him and just turned and left.
Seeing him like this, the Third Master was very angry. He said, "Just wait. Even if you become the crown prince, so what? As long as you don't sit on that position, I still have a chance."
But what the Third Master didn't know was that two months later, he really had no chance at all. Instead, he was confined in the mansion and spent the rest of his life in misery.
Sixth Master and his companions caught up with Fourth Brother and saw that many ministers had gathered around him and were talking. They waited until they finished talking before walking up to Fourth Brother.
"Fourth brother, we haven't congratulated you yet. Congratulations on becoming the crown prince."
To be honest, they were stunned for a while when they heard that the fourth brother became the crown prince, but they soon realized that they were happy.
"Thank you very much."
"By the way, Fourth Brother, since becoming the crown prince is such a big event, you should at least treat us brothers to a good meal, Sixth Brother, Thirteenth Brother, don't you think so?" Little Fourteen winked at them frantically.
"Yes, yes, yes, this time Fourth Brother has to treat us to a good meal." Sixth Master and Thirteenth Master both spoke up.
Fourth brother has never taken the initiative to invite them to dinner, so he must take this opportunity to make up for it.
Seeing them like this, the Fourth Master agreed. Instead of returning home immediately, he went to a restaurant outside with them for a big meal.
When the Fourth Master returned to the mansion, he was already a little drunk and his steps were a little unsteady. It was only with the support of Su Peisheng that he avoided falling.
