Chapter 488: I am the backbone (first update, asking for monthly votes)(1/3)

 When the tenth prince left the building, he walked a little unsteadily.

Wang Changshou and Wang Ping'an were guarding him, fearing he would fall.

Now that he was out of service, Prince Fujin stayed to drink, and the tenth prince drank honestly.

This is the passion of the Mongolian people, and their feelings are all in the wine.

What I drank was kumiss brought from Mongolia.

The tenth prince tasted a bit tangy, astringent and bitter when he drank it.

Worse than any wine he had ever drank.

But looking at Buyin Gege's smiling face, he felt that the wine was bitter but tasted sweet afterward.

Served with grilled lamb chops, it tastes just right and relieves fatigue.

Half a bowl at a time, Taiji persuaded him to drink several bowls in total.

Brother 10 also paid special attention to the fact that Bu Yingge drank this as if he were drinking water.

He is a grown man, he cannot be inferior to Ge Ge.

There's nothing wrong with drinking, I'm just tipsy.

But when he came out of the inner hall and saw the wind, Brother Ten felt a little superior.

He was light and fluffy, but he was still happy, and he told Wang Changshou and Wang Ping'an: "Don't wait, hurry up, go to the second house..."

This is because my mind is clear, and I can't wait to share the joy with my good Ninth Brother.

When Wang Chang'an and Wang Baisui saw this, they went to Donghua Gate to help him.

There are horses prepared at the guard's office over there.

Because the Forbidden City is so big, it's fine on weekdays, but walking in rainy and snowy weather is a pain.

Therefore, during the reign of Emperor Shizu, he was given the grace to Prince Heshuo and Prince Duoluo to ride horses in the Forbidden City.

But you can only go through Donghua Gate or Xihua Gate.

Moreover, riding a horse can only go to the front court and cannot approach the inner court.

When you don't reach the Qianqing Gate, you have to dismount and walk to the Qianqing Palace.

In that case, the journey can be reduced by half.

The tenth prince is a prince. Before being ennobled, his treatment was similar to that of a prince. Naturally, he was also qualified to ride horses in the front court of the Forbidden City.

The people at the guard office saw that the man was drunk and hurriedly went to fetch the horse.

When the 10th prince got on his horse, several guards surrounded him and entered the palace.

If you take the west route, you can go further north and dismount in front of Longzong Gate; if you take the east route, you have to dismount at Jianting.

Near the arrow pavilion, the tenth prince was helped off his horse

Brother Ten opened his eyes and glanced at the leading guard. He was a first-class shrimp, and he looked familiar. He seemed to have gone to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find He Yi, and he was He Yi's sister-in-law.

"From the Niu Hulu family?"

The man was twenty-seven or eight years old. He looked tall and majestic and looked like a warrior of the Eight Banners. He nodded with a smile and said: "Master Ten, I am the Bose of the Eighth Fang, and Duke Zhongyi is my great-grandfather!"

The eighth branch of Niu Hulu's family is the branch of Zhongyi Gong Turge, the eighth son of Eyidu, the founding hero of the country.

That was originally the head of the Niu Hulu family, and Turge also had the blood of the Aisin Gioro family. His biological mother was a princess and the cousin of Emperor Taizu.

After Eyidu passed away, Turge became the new head of the Niu Hulu family, and according to the custom of the time, he adopted his stepmother and cousin Princess Mukush.

This Princess Mukush is the great-grandmother of the 10th Prince.

After Turg's death, the Duke was still in the eighth room, and was attacked by Turg's son Cobuso.

Later, a big mistake was made, and the title was transferred to the sixteenth clan, which was the clan of the tenth prince's grandfather, Ye Bilong.

Turg had two sons. The eldest son died in the war. He had no sons, but he was left with a title of the fourth rank. He held the rank of Bullhafan and had the title of left leader. This was regarded as leaving a title for the eighth house, so that he would not be in vain.

Therefore, the children and grandchildren of Bafang are all descended from Cobuso.

In terms of blood relationship, this person should be called the tenth elder brother's cousin now.

Brother Ten felt strange in his heart.

Before, I didn't think there was anything wrong with changing the title of noble.

Filial piety comes first among all good deeds.

My cousin's title came from his father and his ancestors. However, in order to please his superiors, he criticized his father after his death and lost his title.

It seems that he deserves it.

But after experiencing this generation of transfers, Brother Ten finally understood.

This kind of reduction of rank for unclear reasons was probably motivated by the superior's intention.

Otherwise, how about a big family, a good leader, and a change at the drop of a hat?

In the previous generation, the head of the Niu Hulu family was changed from the nephew of Emperor Shizu to his own cousin.

It is also because the Niu Hulu family is so powerful that the royal family prefers someone close to them to be the head of the family.

What about this generation?

Both his uncle and Aling Ad are cousins ​​of Khan Amma, but the Duke has also changed.

Because my aunt is from the Hesher family?!

Because Aling'a married Concubine De's sister and became half-brother-in-law of the emperor's father?

Brother 10 felt that he seemed to have touched some pattern.

He smiled and said: "That's not an outsider. I remember coming over to my brother's wedding banquet in the second grade of junior high school to join in the fun!"

Bose smiled and said: "I must go, I wish you congratulations in advance. I wish you and Shifujin to grow old together and have many children and grandchildren!"

The tenth elder brother was happy when he heard this, nodded and said: "Then I will accept your good advice!"

As the two talked, they stayed here for a while.

At this moment, several eunuchs came out of Yuqing Palace and came over with their chariots.

It turned out that the prince got the news and knew that the tenth prince was drunk and rode into the palace, so he sent someone to deliver the chariot.

It's not his chariot, it's a spare one from Yuqing Palace.

"Tenth Master, the Crown Prince has sent a servant to take you back to my elder brother's house..."

The person who came was the eunuch in charge of Yuqing Palace, and he said respectfully to Brother Ten.

The tenth prince was surprised, but he didn't show it on his face. He just nodded and said, "Please, Prince Edward, please bother me..."

He did not refuse the kindness and was helped onto the chariot by the people around him.

This place is not far from Yuqing Palace. Some palace servants with keen eyes saw it before and went to report it to the prince. Only then did the prince send someone here.

Because we were taking the east road, we used the corridor all the way to the north until we reached the entrance of the Imperial Garden, then passed through the Imperial Garden to the west and entered my elder brother's house.

When we arrived at the entrance of the second house, Brother Ten stopped.

The tenth brother was still a little wobbly when he walked, and he knocked on the door with a bang.

Cui Baisui, the eunuch of the second house, heard the noise and trotted out to open the door.

"Where's Ninth Brother..."

As Brother Ten said, he was about to walk to the backyard.

Cui Baisui hurriedly supported him and said: "Master Ten, our master is in front..."

He Yuzhu heard the news and came out of the main room in the front yard. When he saw the tenth brother, it was like meeting a savior.

"Master Ten, you are here..."

The tenth brother saw that he looked wrong and rubbed his face vigorously. His mind became clearer and he said, "What's wrong with the ninth brother?"

He Yuzhu whispered: "I'm angry. I'm feeling uncomfortable. I haven't even eaten dinner."

With that, he told what he had seen and heard about his trip to Nancheng in the afternoon.

"What do you think Master Ba is thinking? Indulging the people below him to act like monsters?"

In the end, he did not hide his dissatisfaction with Eighth Prince.

The tenth prince frowned, said nothing, and entered the study.

Brother Jiu was still sitting behind the bookcase, leaning on the chair, motionless.

There was no expression on his face, and his eyes were looking at the roof not knowing what to think.

His eyes moved when he heard movement at the door.

The tenth elder brother came in and did not speak in a hurry. Instead, he sat directly on the south kang. He picked up the teapot and shook it. When he saw that there was still water in it, he picked it up and poured it into his mouth.

Seeing this, Brother Jiu took a few steps and pulled the teapot out of his hand.
To be continued...
