Bright Moon and Breeze(17)

Tongtong thought that it should not be difficult to leave the palace. When the fourth master came back, he said that Emperor Wanli had agreed. Then the two of them excitedly discussed which palace was better at home! The ten palaces were built at the same time as the Forbidden City.

A royal palace is not bad! Anyway, you need to have your own territory.

The two even asked Zhou Bao to inquire, to see which palace was empty, which palace could be moved out at any time, and to ask what the Prince Gui's Palace and Prince Hui's Palace looked like.

As a result, the place was planning and preparing, and the prince sent someone to call the fourth master. The reason was: "The adults in the Ministry of Rites thought that it was against the rules to leave the palace and open a mansion at this time." So, Zhu Changluo took a sneak look at the fourth master, and then felt uncomfortable.

He moved a little bit, but still tentatively said: "I think... forget it, let's live like this for now."

Fourth Master: "..." What the hell! Are you living like this for now? Behave when you open your mouth and shut up when you open your mouth. Damn, this prince, Zhu Changluo, has been thirty-seven years old since he was born, and his feet are gone.

Stepping out of the palace. Whose child is raised like this? You must be raising a fool! No, the Ministry of Rites said it was against the rules, and then Zhu Changluo said no, let it go.

Anyway, one less thing is worse than one more thing. It is best if everyone lives in peace and harmony.

The fourth master said, "If you don't open a palace, you can just live out there. If you don't want to set up a palace, you can just find a place to live."

Zhu Changluo felt uncomfortable after saying this, "How can this be done? How can we live without the palace?" He couldn't bear it again, "If you feel uncomfortable living in Ciqing Palace, please ask the emperor to stay here."

I’ll find you a yard somewhere else to live alone.”

This courtyard refers to the courtyard in the palace. The fourth master whispered: "Why don't you understand? Isn't the emperor doing this for you too? There are often errands in the middle of the night for the affairs of Jin Yiwei. I live in Da Nei, the news

If you can't access it, it will delay things! Besides, why didn't the emperor hand over the affairs of Jin Yiwei to Uncle Hui and Uncle Gui?"

Why?

"Because we are brothers!" Fourth Master whispered, "Your Majesty does not need to be on guard against them, but we need to be on guard against them, right?"

Yes! Zhu Changluo thought along this line, "So... Jin Yiwei must be held tightly."

"There are refugees everywhere outside the city, and the capital is not as peaceful as before." The fourth master said, "We are all in the palace, and we don't know what is going on outside... Speaking of which, if there is really trouble, the one we want is Zhu.

What does a person’s life have to do with others?”

This... is correct, "but those adults don't agree."

"They are afraid that I will open a house and have subordinate officials. After all, the matter of the eldest grandson is not sure, and they feel uneasy." The fourth master said in a low voice, "Let me watch the outside. You and the adults can take care of the eldest brother's wife."

The position of grandson is slowly being planned. If my eldest brother does not establish a grandson, and if there are no officials in my mansion, it will not be officially opened..."

"Wouldn't this be too unfair to you?" Zhu Changluo sighed as he spoke, "Then go back and pick a few more people to serve..." He said, hesitating again, "...how should the adults answer when they ask questions?

?”

"I'm afraid they also gave the emperor a discount, and he probably didn't read it." This is what the fourth master said.

Zhu Changluo immediately said: "I won't see you, Master of the Ministry of Rites, until you move out."

Ah, very good!

When the fourth master came out, he almost didn’t give me any more information!

"So..." Tongtong spread his hands, "There is no more royal palace, only a house?"

Yes! There is only one house. But we have to choose this house ourselves.

So, the fourth master went to work! Choosing a house, he had to organize it to be almost habitable, which was not something he could do in words. At this time, the candidate for the eldest grandson was finally decided, and she was a girl named Zhang Yan.

Lin Yutong is quite curious, not about anything else, but her appearance. This person is said to be quite beautiful! Of course, virtuous people are also virtuous, and we are also virtuous! But we are not beautiful!

The fourth master was flipping through a book beside him. She would get up and sit down. Then she would get up and poke him behind him. The fourth master was disturbed, "What's going on?"

"I want to see if Zhang Yan is really that beautiful!" Lin Yutong touched his face, "You said that emperors are so lucky, how can they marry a queen and be beautiful and virtuous!" Look at you again, you are really unlucky.

!I can’t help but sympathize with you.

You are free! It doesn’t matter what they look like. I just think they are beautiful. How can I change you? Just stay there!

Just when Tongtong was about to speak, Fourth Master quickly interrupted, "I remember there was another earthquake this year that affected a wide range of people... On some day, it would be best to call the Qintian Supervisor for an early warning for this kind of thing..."

As a result, before he could finish his words, the teapot on the table started making a sound, and the person sitting on the chair shook involuntarily. The two looked at each other, and ran out immediately.

The entire palace was in chaos, and everyone was running towards the open space. The ground beneath their feet was obviously shaking, and it was difficult to stand. From time to time, tiles flew down from the palace in front of them. What could be done at this time?

There were constant aftershocks and nothing could be done.

Everyone in the East Palace gathered together, Zhu Changluo leaned against the eunuch Wang An, Li Xuanshi hugged Zhu Changluo's arm, his face turned pale. Wang Cairen was carried by the palace people, his face was pale. Over there, the Hakka held Zhu Youxiao and stood before the king.

Next to An, another unfavored servant, Li Xuan, pulled Zhu Youjian to stand at the edge to reduce his sense of presence.

The fourth master glanced at Wang Cheng who came to help him, "Quick! Run for the prince and see how he is doing?"

Yes, yes! There is also the emperor.

There was another earthquake. Judging from this movement, the source of the earthquake should not be in the capital. But if it can affect the capital, it means that the magnitude of the earthquake is not small. Tongtong secretly asked Fourth Master: "Where is the earthquake again?"

Fourth Master frowned, "It's still Shanxi." The two provinces of Shanxi and Hebei, the capital, were affected.

Lin Yutong frowned, "It's Shanxi again." There was only one earthquake in April. I don't know if the newly built houses have been lived in, but this earthquake happened again. It really left no way for people to survive!

The fourth master was thinking about the next thing. He was already planning a vassal in his mind, but he still hadn't made up his mind about which vassal to choose. Now, I don't have to choose by myself. God has already made a decision.

?

Shanxi was hit by a disaster, so I'm sorry, Prince Jin, I can only choose you.

But you have to leave the palace first, and you have to do this after leaving the palace.

Are you anxious? What's the use of being anxious? You just wish that there would be a disaster today and fly over to provide disaster relief in the evening, but you have that intention but don't have the ability. Objectively speaking, you just can't do it.

No, the aftermath of the earthquake had just passed, and people were just trying to see if they could live in their houses, and it snowed!

It snowed heavily, and flakes of snow as big as a child's palm fell directly.

Lin Yutong stood under the eaves wrapped in a big cloak and looked at the snowflakes. He couldn't help but cursed, "What a thief." The heavy snow blocked the road. Still thinking about disaster relief? How to rescue? Let alone Shanxi, just go out of the city.

I'm afraid the roads in Tongzhou will be closed.

In the Hongde Hall, the ministers were impassioned, and they had only one idea: to ask Emperor Wanli to issue an edict to punish himself.

When disaster comes from heaven, this is because the emperor has no virtue, and the emperor must issue an edict to punish himself.

But would Emperor Wanli issue this edict? If he had been willing to compromise with the ministers, the monarch and his ministers would not have become like this. The fourth master had no interest at all and withdrew directly from the Hongde Hall. Standing on a high place, watching

Looking at the Forbidden City in the heavy snow. Looking at the scenery alone, the Forbidden City is at its most beautiful at this time.

In the sky full of white snow, Fourth Master walked very slowly. He stepped on every step very firmly, but when he looked back, he saw heavy snow covering his footprints in the blink of an eye.

He looked up at the sky again. He always said "God's will" before. What is God's will? God's will means that you have to accept it and you have to accept it. It's so difficult for humans to resist God.

Tongtong stood at the door of the small courtyard, waiting for the fourth master to come back.

The fourth master saw Tongtong who looked like a snowman from a distance. He thought that he had been standing here for a long time, and the snow had fallen all over her body. He quickly walked over, raised his hand to pat the snow off her body, and held her tightly.

Then he rubbed his cold hands slowly. After a long time, he whispered: "Let's eat a pot today! Let's have a vegetarian soup pot."

Tongtong looked at him carefully, what's going on? His mood is different?

It must be that his mood is different. He was always anxious before, but now he is not at all! He did his things step by step. As soon as the snow stopped for a while, the fourth master came back with a request to move.

As a result, it was time to leave the palace, and Wang Cheng was sent here. Zhu Changluo said that Wang Cheng should be left here to serve him.

Lin Yutong understood at once that it must have been the day of the earthquake that someone saw Wang Cheng's act of being slightly close to the fourth master, so Wang Cheng was driven over.

Okay! Just bring him over and do it here.

Everyone in the small courtyard can be taken out, but the female officials are not allowed to follow.

Before leaving the palace, Cui Shangyi came over to say goodbye and sighed: "Princess, you should think twice before doing anything in the future. Things in this world are rarely fair. During this time, there are things that I can't do. I hope the princess will not take it personally."

go."

This is because he felt that after leaving the palace, he had little to do with the palace.

Cui Shangyi is not a person who understands the world. She came to remind her with good intentions, but she did bad things! In fact, the situation is like this when people leave. If she just doesn't come, what can she do? At most, she will be like most people.

They are just the same people. But when she came and said this again, it didn't sound like she was trying to persuade him, but more like adding insult to injury.

Lin Yutong smiled, too lazy to argue with such a person! As for the two female officials who stayed by her side, she gave them generous rewards, and they accepted them. They did not refute her during this period, and collected whatever they asked.

What, she has never violated this intention. These are two people who have their duty and not wanting to cause trouble engraved in their bones. She has never made things difficult for others, not asking them to follow her.

I gave him a reward and sent him away with a few polite words.

She used to have expectations for female officials. Just like the Fourth Master, he must have different expectations for some civil servants in the court. But in fact, it is not the same thing at all! The concepts of both parties

There is a huge gap between me and my thoughts.

I was disappointed, and so was my fourth master.

Now that I'm disappointed, I'm sorry, I can't control who the fourth master stirs up and affects.

The house that the fourth master chose was a house that Jinyiwei had not raided. This place was originally an outhouse owned by Yan Shifan, and it was in excellent repair. However, before the repairs were completed, Yan Shifan fell down before the old Xiaoge came to live there. After that, Yan Shifan fell.

In the past few decades, there have been many people who wanted this house. Why did they give it to the fourth master this time? It is said that a father-in-law in the palace took a fancy to it and wanted it. People like Jin Yiwei did not want to give it, so it happened that the fourth master

When I asked for a house, these people just gave me the house.

No one occupied such a good house, so I knew there must be some story behind it. But the fourth master didn't ask, he fell in love with this house at a glance. The exquisiteness was secondary, the key was the construction of this house.

Both earth dragons and fire walls are included. What really costs money is not the above-ground buildings, but the underground. All houses have fire rooms underground. Filling the underground room with sawdust and lighting it will ensure that the indoor temperature will be moderate within a month.
