The Fourth Master suddenly stood up and asked, "Is the news correct?"
Hei Qi nodded: "Indeed... I heard that after practicing elixirs in the palace for a period of time, the old emperor became light and healthy, and could control several women in a night without feeling tired. But he didn't want to keep doing this.
After a month, he died of a woman."
No need to ask, everyone knows that he was under the influence of drugs. If he takes too much of that stuff, wouldn’t it kill someone?
"What now? Who has succeeded?" Fourth Master quickly asked again.
Hei Qi said quickly: "Feng Hai single-handedly controls the inner palace. When he received the news, he heard that he intended to make the little prince who was born last year the emperor."
A little baby less than one year old. And it is said that it may not necessarily be the blood of the old emperor. Because the most people staying in the palace at that time were Taoist priests, and dirty things often came out.
In order for Feng Hai to control the emperor, it would be more appropriate to find a prince who could not afford to make trouble as a puppet.
But this group of people who are still loyal to the imperial court are so embarrassed.
Fourth Master glanced at Lin Yutong: "The time and place are favorable and the people are right. We now have the right time and place, so we can give it a try."
Yes! It turns out that the other party is in mourning, so it would be unkind to attack at this time. But if the eunuchs cause trouble and take the young master hostage, this is another matter.
Lin Yutong nodded: "Go and do your work, don't worry about me."
The Fourth Master touched Lin Yutong's belly before turning around and striding away.
Lin Yutong could still hear the Fourth Master in the room telling him as he walked: "Go and summon the cabinet and military aircraft right away."
Once you make a decision, the rest will be easier to handle.
Lin Yutong didn't pay attention to the previous one. She felt that her stomach was moving a little abnormally these past few days. It was already late May, and she would be in labor for half a month at most.
Two days later, Lin Yutong received a letter, a letter from Mrs. Chiang.
After reading the letter, her heart beat much faster, "Mother Su, help me go to the front."
Aunt Su looked at Lin Yutong's big belly and guarded her carefully.
The front was like a battlefield, with officials of all sizes walking back and forth as if they were on hot wheels.
They were busy mobilizing troops, busy allocating food and fodder, busy getting people to test the ships, and everyone was extremely busy.
Most of these ministers live in the dormitory at the front and have no time to go back at night.
Everyone along the way hurriedly saluted Lin Yutong and said hello. The Fourth Master listened to the movement outside and came out.
"Why are you here?" Fourth Master stretched out his hand to help her, "If something happens, I can't send someone back. Look at you, you're so hot..."
Fourth Master hasn't slept much in the past two days, his eyes are red, and the stubble on his chin has sprouted.
Lin Yutong smiled: "Go in and talk."
When I entered the room, I saw He Mao and Qin Yi there. There was a drawing on the table.
"Is this the share that King Zhao handed over?" Lin Yutong asked.
The fourth master nodded: "I plan to ask He Mao and Qin Yi to lead the people to set off first. Disguise as businessmen and see if we can get through some important passes." This is not talking about regular combat, but asking the two to develop a relationship.
, you can’t bribe with money first.
"What a coincidence!" Lin Yutong gave Mrs. Jiang's letter to Fourth Master, "Let's take a look at this first."
The fourth master looked at it carefully, but said nothing for a while.
Lin Yutong whispered: "I still think the credibility of this is very high. The list she gave us includes not only the old members of the Jiang family, but also many disciples of Zhang Ge. Moreover, look at the official positions of these people
, all on the various fortresses on our southern expedition. This is definitely not a coincidence. I am afraid that Zhang Ge has already laid out the plan. If King Zhao can succeed in the north, this road is prepared for King Zhao. If King Zhao succeeds,
It doesn’t matter, once the north side is lost, then this passage will be Mr. Zhang Ge’s signature."
Fourth Master nodded: "I understand, you should go back and rest first. I will handle the rest."
Lin Yutong saw that Fourth Master didn't want to talk to her in depth, so she could only snort and walk back.
Fourth Master sent her out, "You are pregnant with the child now, so don't worry about it. Be good!"
Lin Yutong couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "What are you worried about?"
"Prince Zheng!" Fourth Master replied with two words.
Lin Yutong suddenly realized that if Prince Zheng really returned to Jinling, then the current situation would be different.
After all, this was the orthodox member of the Ming Dynasty and the ministers who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty looked down upon Feng Hai and did not agree with the young prince who was not of royal blood, but they would not disown Prince Zheng.
Even if King Zheng once rebelled, it could not change the fact that blood is passed down.
By then, how many people will be able to use the list that Mrs. Chiang gave her? If one person is not willing, the danger to his side will be huge.
The Fourth Master put his hand on Lin Yutong's belly, "Think about it, if Prince Zheng really asked to return to Jinling for the funeral, no one in the court would respond. Then Feng Hai can really stop him. Once he enters Jinling, what will happen?
Maybe they will all be there. Therefore, you can never go wrong if you are cautious and careful. Mrs. Chiang’s list has certain reference significance for us, but we must not be dependent on anyone. No matter when, rely on
Your own strength is the most reliable." He whispered: "Even the city defense map on the table, without field verification, I dare not use it easily. Let alone other things. Especially when dealing with people. Forget Jiang.
Madam has no intention of lying to us, so how can you be sure that she will not see the wrong person? People are fickle, understand?" He said, gently patting Lin Yutong's belly, "You are impatient.
Why are you in a hurry? We have plenty of time, there is no rush!"
Lin Yutong then said in shock: "Then I'll go back. Recently I don't care about anything. After being pregnant for three years, I found that my brain is really not enough."
The Fourth Master smiled: "Okay! You are here. Just stay at home and take good care of your belly. Everything will be fine." After saying that, he suppressed the smile on his face and said to Aunt Su: "I'll take good care of you."
Mistress."
Aunt Su quickly agreed and then helped Lin Yutong leave.
The fourth master watched the master and servant go away, and then he ordered Wu Chunlai: "Ask Hei Qi to come."
Hei Qi came very quickly, "Long live the Lord..."
Before the ceremony was completed, Fourth Master stopped him, "Get up. Is there any news from the southwest?"
This is a question for King Zheng.
Hei Qi was stunned for a moment: "There hasn't been any new news recently. I've been holding back."
"Stand still?" Fourth Master turned to look at the map on the wall and asked, "Is there no news of sending troops or other news?"
Hei Qi frowned and said, "Other news?" He patted his head, "The rest are just rumors, and I don't know if they are accurate or not. Why don't I send someone to the southwest to investigate. It's just a long way to go.
I’m afraid this will go back and forth…”
"How did it spread among the people?" Fourth Master waved his hand and asked, "Why did the news about Prince Zheng spread among the people?"
Hei Qi said with an embarrassed look: "Mainly businessmen who have dealings with the southwest. It is said that King Zheng got a beauty named Panpan. I heard that she has an excellent appearance, which is rare in the world. The reason why King Zheng rebelled in the first place seems to be because of this woman
.I don’t know who he heard said that the old emperor asked him to donate a beautiful woman, but he was reluctant to give it up, so he became independent in the southwest. When he arrived in the southwest, he built a large garden for this girl. Many merchants who helped build the garden made a lot of money.
The bowl is full. In the spring of this year, the Wanchun Garden will be built. There is a jingle in the market that says so."
"Wanchun Garden beside Lanshan Lake has mountains, water and terraces. Each terrace has eight pillars, one pillar supporting the platform. From a distance, there are thousands of willow trees on the hillside, and one willow costs 100,000 yuan. A willow was dug on the bank of the water.
Lake, there is a gold boat floating on the lake. The rockery is originally made of silver, and the peonies are worth the money of emerald..."
The fourth master raised his hand and interrupted Hei Qi, "So, Prince Zheng is addicted to women, which means he is greedy for enjoyment. Moreover, he is also a dim-witted person, and corruption is common under his rule."
Hei Qi nodded, "That's probably it."
The fourth master then asked Hei Qi to go down. If a king is so stupid and has no ambition to make progress, there is nothing worth worrying about.
More than ten days had passed when we found out that Fourth Master had sent Tietou and Li Fang as commanders to send out troops that day.
The horn sound of the army's departure outside the city came. Lin Yutong couldn't help but stand up, followed closely, and felt wet, "Come here! Prepare hot water, I want to wash up."
Grandma Su's hand holding the cup suddenly relaxed, "Are you about to give birth?"
"Don't panic!" Lin Yutong waved his hand, "Follow what you have practiced before and take your time."
The fourth master was still standing on the city wall sending the army off for the expedition. Lin Yutong was not in a hurry to inform him. He only said: "Go to the longevity palace and say something."
After washing up, Qian came in. She took Lin Yutong's hand and patted it gently, indicating that she was fine.
Lin Yutong shook her head. She had given birth to many children, so how could she still be afraid?
Pain swept over me, familiar yet unfamiliar. All sensations were gone. Even the annoying cicada cries faded away little by little, and the whole world became peaceful.
Sweat flowed down his forehead and into his eyes, and tears of irritation also fell down.
Yin Laoer was circling outside, "It's not barking at all." Qian was mute, and when she gave birth to her baby, she at least whined, like a wolf howling. No one but herself dared to wait outside the house.
Even the midwife ended up asking for a few extra cents, saying that she was going to calm down the shock. So, it left a bit of a psychological shadow on her. I think that if she shouted it out properly, it would not be a terrible phenomenon. I was afraid that it would be suppressed all the time.
Yes, when you really shout, the sound is scary.
He looked up at the sun above his head. It was almost noon. It was time for Shiro to come back.
The fourth master rode his horse all the way back to the palace. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, he heard a loud cry of a baby.
"How are you? Are you okay?" Fourth Master shouted into the room, wanting to go in.
Lin Yutong looked at the child and smiled: "Okay! Our eldest princess is also very good!"
