Lin Yutong followed Fourth Master, offered incense to Dafujin outside, and went to the back house. The back house was still in chaos.
The Zhijun Prince's Palace has never paid any attention to Fujin, and all of them are concubines of low origin. Now that chaos has arisen, Lin Yutong had to quickly tell the manager of the Palace to keep an eye on the few young masters. Something can happen to anyone, millions of people.
Don't let a few children get into trouble at this time.
The Fourth Master was accompanying Prince Zhi in front of him, "Brother, there is nothing I can do about the Emperor." He said very calmly. He then whispered: "It's not that the younger brother is afraid of the Emperor's blame, but that the Emperor is also a mature man.
"I originally felt sorry for my eldest brother...if I suddenly found out about my eldest sister-in-law..." I felt more and more ashamed of facing Prince Zhi. What would I do if I had someone else?
Prince Zhi was stunned and couldn't help but trembled his hands, "You are right."
The fourth master felt relieved. It had been so long since he had seen this eldest brother, and his hair was already gray. He felt like his back was hunched over. Is this still the high-spirited Prince Zhi back then?
The death of Da Fujin was a huge blow to my eldest brother. Being widowed in middle age is a great tragedy in life.
Before the Fourth Master could say anything else, there was a commotion outside. It turned out that the Eighth Master was here. Many clan members who had heard the news surrounded the Eighth Master.
A sharp look flashed in Prince Zhi's eyes.
"Brother! My condolences." Mr. Ba said to Prince Zhijun.
But the surroundings became quiet.
The eighth master looked aside and saw that the fourth master had a filial piety belt around his waist, but he did not.
I felt awkward for a moment.
The fourth master is Prince Yong. Prince Yong gave the eldest sister-in-law the last floor with family gifts. This was to give face to the eldest brother, Prince Zhi.
And I am just a Baylor. Prince Zhi still has the title of county king, and it has not been reduced by the emperor. I am rude.
The Fourth Master was also stunned. He would never make such a mistake. This mistake was really inexplicable.
Before Lao Ba comes in, someone should report what happened just now.
His first instinct was that Lao Ba had been tricked.
In fact, Ba Ye was indeed tricked.
Just now at the door, there are many die-hard loyalists of Prince Zhi outside. As the saying goes, Qin Hui still has three friends. Not to mention Prince Zhi, who has been famous for twenty years. I don’t know how many people dislike the Eighth Master.
This matter is not caused by these people.
At that time, there was no one from the Ministry of Etiquette to support the Eighth Master, so the Eighth Master naturally didn't care. After all, the talent was just gone, so it was possible that he was not ready for the moment.
But now when the fourth master is asked to compete, the eighth master is very unreasonable.
Is this to give face to Prince Zhi? This is obviously to bring shame to the Eighth Master.
The situation on the field suddenly became awkward.
Afterwards, the emperor's brother came one by one with Fujin and the older children.
When everyone came in with nothing in mind, Master Ba became even more embarrassed.
Master Jiu frowned, glanced at the junior official of the Ministry of Etiquette who was standing aside, and kicked him, "How do you serve me? You can't even have all these things, so what else do you do?"
It can be regarded as relieving Mr. Ba’s embarrassment.
The man jumped up and ran away. At this time, the blame was firmly laid. He couldn't even explain himself.
No matter what the truth is, in fact, this gave Ba Ye a step forward and an explanation.
This was originally a funeral, and all calculations must have limits. However, with the intervention of the Fourth Master and the Eighth Master, the funeral was handled honorably.
The next day, the emperor finally knew about it. At that time, the Qianqing Palace called the imperial doctor.
It is said that the emperor could not get out of bed for several days. No one dared to mention this matter to the emperor.
The entire first month was spent busy with Dafu Jin's funeral.
When the first lunar month was over, Lin Yutong lost some weight, maybe because of his busy schedule, so his belly seemed bigger.
However, it was already the month when she was pregnant, so the Fourth Master was worried and asked Dr. Su to take a look at it to get the results of good health.
Although it was February, the weather was still cold. The fourth master pulled Lin Yutong into the quilt again, "You must be well. Seeing the way my eldest brother is now, I feel really scared. Mandarin ducks have lost their companions. , no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel desolate.”
It turned out that he was frightened because Da Fujin died at such a young age.
Lin Yutong leaned against the Fourth Master and said, "I will stay with you all my life."
"I thought you would say that the next generation will also accompany me?" Fourth Master said half-truthfully.
Lin Yutong was stunned, and stretched out his hand to hug the fourth master's waist, "I also want to be with you in the next life." However, where can he make the decision?
The fourth master naturally felt such a change in mood, "It's just gossip, why do you take it seriously?"
Lin Yutong buried her face in Fourth Master's arms, not daring to reveal her expression.
The fourth master took her whole body into his arms and put his face on her forehead, "What's wrong? Are you really sad? Don't worry, in the next life, I will allow you to follow me and I will marry you. Okay?"
Damn you, uncle! What does ‘you are allowed to follow me’ mean?
Lin Yutong moved his waist and pinched the soft flesh on his waist.
After fussing for a while, he snuggled up and fell asleep.
The next day, a big event suddenly occurred in the court. At that time, the emperor said that he would nominate a prince, but the emperor seemed to have forgotten the matter and never mentioned it again. But now, many people have begun to make excuses and demand Make the matter of electing the prince a reality.
After all, this candidate has been brewing in everyone's minds for too long.
The fourth master stood in the court, feeling his heart agitated. What was going on? It was incomprehensible.
What do you want to do when you ask the emperor to appoint a prince so eagerly? Remind the emperor that he is old?
Is this because life is too easy?
Who took action this time?
Laoba?
Fourth Master was a little unsure.
The emperor's expression was a little unpredictable no matter how he looked at it.
The fourth master thought that the emperor would be furious, but he did not expect that the emperor just responded calmly and called officials of fourth rank or above, even though Shang Zhezi recommended the prince.
Fourth Master felt that the atmosphere around him relaxed, as if everyone felt that the danger was over.
But the fourth master really felt that danger was coming. Not saying anything did not mean that he was not angry, but that the anger was brewing. It was hard to say who the blame would fall on in the end.
But he didn't want to get together at this time and try to smoke her.
The eighth master did the same. He cast a vague glance at the fourth master from inside. This incident also made him feel uneasy.
After going down to court, I met Longkodo at the gate of the palace. He gently shook his head at the fourth master, which meant that this matter had nothing to do with Tong Guowei. But as Tong Guowei, as the minister of study, who else could he be? ?
Today, there are three adults in the study room, namely Tong Guowei, Ma Qi, and Zhang Tingyu.
If Tong Guowei, the old man, did not move, then it is unlikely that the old man initiated this incident.
But besides Lao Ba, who else could it be?
So where did this evil wind come from? The fourth master was really at a loss what to do for a while.
From that day on, the booklet flew to the upper study room like snowflakes. There were not only individual bookmarks, but also joint bookmarks. The bookstore was almost flooded with bookmarks recommending Mr. Ba.
From the governors and governors outside the capital, to the prefects and governors, to the important generals from Manchu, Han and Mongolia in the north and south, to the officials of all sizes in the capital, all the way to the six ministries, all went to the study room,
Even Tong Guowei and Ma Qi added their own merits when they saw that their superiors were determined to recommend the Eighth Master.
Zhang Tingyu was flipping through the book in his hand, looking at the bustle of the study as if he didn't hear a thing.
"Hengchen, Hengchen." Ma Qi put down his pen and said, "Come here and sign."
Zhang Tingyu seemed to be focused on the book in his hand and didn't hear anything.
Ma Qi walked over with a smile, "Hengchen, you are really calm at this time. What book are you reading? Hurry up and sign your name first. Let's go to the study and sign the letter together. You
Sign your name so that you can hand over this coupon."
"A joint letter? What kind of letter?" Zhang Tingyu said with a surprised look on his face.
It was as if he really didn't know what Ma Qi was talking about.
Ma Qi turned his head and glanced at Tong Guowei. He saw the old man stroking his beard with his hand and slowly lowered his eyelids. Then he turned to Zhang Tingyu and said: "It's this time. Why are you pretending to be confused? Is there anything else important in the court now?"
?Isn’t it a matter of electing the crown prince? It’s a matter of electing the eighth master to be the crown prince. Come over here and sign, otherwise I won’t wait for you.”
Zhang Tingyu suddenly realized and said with a smile: "So this is what happened. Then don't wait for me, just sign your names."
"We?" Ma Qi said in confusion: "What about you?"
"I will give the emperor a secret copy alone." Zhang Tingyu said casually. After saying that, he turned to read again.
"Secret fold? What secret fold?" Ma Qi stared at Zhang Tingyu, not understanding what this meant. The situation was so obvious, and he really didn't understand why Zhang Tingyu had any hesitation.
Zhang Tingyu didn't take his eyes off the book, and said calmly: "Haha...it's a secret book! If everyone knows about it, why do you call it a secret book?"
Ma Qi inexplicably hit a soft nail.
Tong Guowei said: "Forget it. Everyone has his own ambitions." As he said that, he looked at Zhang Tingyu with some disdain.
Ma Qi looked left and right. His fevered brain finally calmed down a bit.
He looked at the folders that had been put away on the table, and felt a little bit less regretful. But if he wanted to get them back now, it would be impossible.
When the emperor wandered to the upper study room and saw a large box full of coupons recommending the Eighth Master, Ma Qi suddenly became even more frightened.
He may have made a fatal mistake this time,
The emperor flipped through the folder casually and couldn't help but smile, "This is quite complete." As he said that, he asked someone to unfold the joint folder. This joint folder was sent to each province according to his signature.
There are hundreds of officials, big and small, densely packed.
"We are really united." The emperor said calmly. (. )
