The fourth master looked normal on his face, but in his heart, he was really surprised. He really didn't expect that the emperor would coax him back like this.
This is really exactly the same as Hong Zhao.
Yesterday, Hongzhao's handwriting was still not good. Hongshi laughed and felt aggrieved. The fourth master said: "Hongzhao is really amazing. When Ama was the same age as you, he was not as good as you. His handwriting is not as good as yours."
"Several brothers are not as good as you." Then, Hong Zhao immediately stopped being annoyed.
Does this also apply to the emperor? The expression of the villain in Fourth Master’s heart is confused at this moment.
He no longer took the initiative to bring up the topic just now, and only picked up other topics, "... Sitting all day long, my son has already reached the limit of pulling the bow ten times a day. Any more is just trying to be brave, and his arms will be shaking and he won't be able to hold it the next day.
Bi. People like Huang Ama who have not drawn their bows and horses for decades have not even dared to say this to those veterans on the battlefield."
The emperor taught the fourth master, "Knowing this truth, you should be more diligent. From now on, you should do it twice more every day. If it continues for a period of time, add one more. Don't be lazy. I will check it after a few days."
Fourth Master responded with a slightly depressed face and said yes.
The emperor continued to mutter: "Now even Honghui is not as good as him. If he doesn't practice more, he will never be able to mount a horse or shoot an arrow."
The fourth master said in his heart that when he was young, the emperor did not ask him to do this. Now, he will have a grandson in two years, but he will be remade by the old man. Where can he reason?
But he nodded obediently and listened carefully.
The fourth master peeled a small plate of pine nuts, and the emperor pulled it to him, picked it up and ate it slowly. Then he brought the topic back, "Let's talk about your second brother. I want to fix one for your second brother.
Garden.”
This is the plan to confine the deposed prince in the garden. The fourth master immediately understood what the emperor meant. He couldn't let the second brother out, and he wanted to make the second brother live a better life. If it really looked like the emperor was in Changchun Garden, even the specifications
It's a little lower, and you can't say you're uncomfortable living there for a lifetime. It's a small town, and there are countless people waiting in it. As long as you have peace of mind, you can live comfortably. Most people in this world don't just stay at home.
, our ancestors have lived like this for generations. Sixty-seven percent of the people have never left the town in their lives. If you compare it like this, it is really not an injustice. It is more like a disguised protection. Otherwise, if the deposed prince is released, he will not cause trouble.
, it has to be used to cause trouble.
The fourth master nodded, "That's right. My son will go back and take a look at the account of the Ministry of Accounts. It doesn't matter where he saves a sip. It's enough."
The emperor shook his head and said, "I will withdraw the money from my inner treasury. Who do you think will be entrusted to handle this matter?"
It sounds like building a garden, but in fact it is not as simple as building a garden.
What if this person has trouble with the prince, and there are harmful things inside? What if this person is too close to the prince, and there are secret passages or something like that?
It sounds like a fantasy, but in fact, it is very possible.
The fourth master thought about it in his mind and said, "Huang Ama, do you think Thirteen is okay? Thirteen is loyal and affectionate, so he is a suitable candidate." Originally, he wanted to ask Thirteen to supervise the affairs of the Criminal Department, but this cannot be done too hastily. Building a garden
He is an overseer, so how hard can it be to finish it with some thought? Thirteen will not wrong his second brother, nor will he have harmful intentions, nor will he betray the emperor.
The emperor glanced at the Fourth Master and said, "You have such a temper..." You are really showing your heart to someone who is good to you, and you don't have any plans for yourself. The Emperor never believed that the Fourth Master had no other plans in mind, but he was not angry. He
If he didn't have this thought, he would look down on him. What makes the fourth child different from others is that he knows how to take advantage of the situation. In the early years, when the crown prince's position was secure, the fourth child never wanted to pull Yinreng down.
Thoughts. But now, the situation is different, and the fourth child is already stable. As for the thirteenth, if he were to stand in the fourth's position, he would definitely keep suppressing the thirteenth.
When the day comes, when he can stand out, he can reuse Old Thirteen. Then Old Thirteen will have to be determined for the rest of his life. After all, not only can Old Thirteen not be able to help him now, in the eyes of most people, he is still a hindrance.
.But the fourth child was interested in Thirteen’s character and pulled him in regardless of gains and losses. He was too affectionate, which would be a shortcoming for an emperor.
But this shortcoming is also the quality that makes him feel at ease.
When the fourth child left, the emperor was a little stunned and asked Li Dequan: "Is he coaxing me to play?"
Li Dequan only dared to smile sarcastically. Anyway, I feel happy that you have benefited from it.
The fourth master returned to the garden and sent people back to the city to call Thirteen. The emperor still asked him to keep an eye on this matter. He asked Thirteen to handle the specific matters. That's okay. It has been difficult in Thirteen's house for the past two years, and it is difficult to repair the courtyard.
, more or less, you can make some money.
Lin Yutong was still surprised that Fourth Master would think so. Isn't this using power for personal gain?
Hongshi listened half-understanding, and then said: "Anyway, my son is greedy for me, and he doesn't break the king's law."
Honghui and Hongyun looked at Hongshi as if he were a fool, how come this kid dares to tell the truth? You have said this, how can Amma dare to ask you to make money in the future?
The fourth master glared at several children, scolded them as "unfilial sons", and drove them away.
Lin Yutong said in his heart, you are allowed to do it, but other people's children are not allowed to say it. Isn't what you are doing the same as unfilial sons?
But she could only think about it in her heart, but she couldn't say it. She looked at the sky outside and said, "I asked Master Thirteen to come here at this time. It's getting late. I have to rest in the garden tonight. I
Ask someone to clean up the yard and come out."
"Ask Su Peisheng to make arrangements. You can rest." The fourth master glanced at Su Peisheng and pulled Lin Yutong to sit down.
Su Peisheng said sincerely, My Lord, you really don't feel sorry for your slaves.
But if you are a slave and can be used by your master, you should be happy. When the day comes when the master can no longer remember to use you, then you should cry.
When there were only two people left in the room, Fourth Master whispered: "You are right. The Emperor is really old." Not only is his body getting old, but the key is his mentality.
Lin Yutong asked carefully: "What? Are you losing your temper again?"
The fourth master used to interpret the emperor's ability to change his face as Longwei, but now, it seems that it is more appropriate to call it 'losing his temper'. It is inappropriate to put it in one sentence, he loses his temper. But because no one dares to regard the emperor as an old man,
No one dares to really look at the emperor like ordinary people. They have rarely thought about it. In fact, if you really look at it this way, it might be okay. Sometimes, when he loses his temper, the people below him will apologize in a big way.
, but the emperor was a little helpless to step down. Perhaps after his temper, the emperor himself regretted it a little.
Lin Yutong sometimes feels that people are getting old, just like women going through menopause. There is absolutely no reason to explain. "The emperor is angry with me?"
"It's okay!" Fourth Master said softly, "I've coaxed you back again."
Lin Yutong was stunned, he was just like Hong Zhao.
She patted the Fourth Master's hand comfortingly. It must have been quite a shock to him.
Looking up again, the fourth master's eyes were a little red. He said: "Actually, I am also an unfilial son."
Lin Yutong: "..." Is it really okay for you to be so emotional?
Although the Thirteenth Master can now go out, he rarely leaves the house on his own initiative. Except for the imperial court or to the Fourth Master's house, he almost never goes out.
It was already afternoon when the people sent by Fourth Master arrived. Even if we left the city quickly, it would definitely be evening.
Thirteen Fujin hurriedly asked someone to pack his clothes, "I'm afraid I won't be able to come back tonight."
"It's okay. I'll stay at Fourth Brother's place for the night." Thirteen had some vague guesses in his mind. Fourth Brother is close to the Emperor, so maybe something happened.
Not daring to delay, he immediately rode out of the city.
The emperor lives in the garden, and these elder brothers keep their eyes on the city gate. Not to mention the thirteenth elder brother, they all know it clearly if there is a mosquito with a name in the capital.
Master Ten said to Master Nine: "Thirteen is out. It goes without saying that it was the fourth who was exerting all his strength."
Master Jiu nodded, "The fourth brother is close to the emperor, who knows what he said." In fact, among their brothers, there is really no one like the fourth brother who blatantly lives in the garden. Near Changchun Garden
, they all have houses. For example, the third master also has a garden that the emperor rewarded. It’s not that they don’t want to be closer to the emperor, but there are advantages and disadvantages to being closer. A place that cannot be photographed can be photographed on a horse’s hooves.
Master Shi rolled his eyes at Master Jiu, "Brother Jiu, it's true that it's so easy for Fourth to be willing to talk to you. If you don't try to get along with me, are you still waiting for someone to call you?"
Master Jiu rolled his eyes. It was not that he was embarrassed, but something had just happened on Lao Ba's side. He turned around and fawned over others, which was too rude. "Let's do this. What are you going to do if you have nothing to do?"
Master Shi glanced at Master Jiu with a hateful look, "You have ruined all the good opportunities. You see, after Thirteenth, we brothers will not be able to fawn over you."
Master Jiu put the tea cup heavily on the table and said, "Grandma! Who is fawning over whom? After all, who is not a brother to whom?"
Master Ten snorted at Master Nine, you are so stubborn. There will be times when you will regret it.
When Thirteenth Master arrived at the garden, it was dinner time. Fourth Master sent Thirteenth to go wash up first. It was uncomfortable to rush on a hot day.
The Thirteenth Master came out and put food on the table.
"Sit down. Rest your belly first." Fourth Master pointed to the chair opposite and poured a glass of wine over.
Thirteenth Master didn’t even ask, he actually ate first.
After the two brothers entered the study, the fourth master mentioned the emperor's intention, "...In the final analysis, there is no risk in building a garden. If you are more considerate, the emperor probably knows what he wants." (. )
