There were people booing around: "Whose little daughter-in-law is here? Why do you talk like that?"
"Yes. Where is the man? Why don't you come out and take care of it?" As soon as the voice over there finished, someone shouted again.
As soon as he said this, there was a buzz in the crowd, and people kept coming out and pointing at Lin Yutong. Some people seemed to be watching Fourth Master's joke, as if to say, look, you can't even control your wife.
Lin Yutong thought to himself, this Li Shizhu was so meticulous that he even found excuses. People are like this, making noises. They just yelled along without thinking about what they said. This evil nature is deep-rooted.
Seeing the huge momentum around him, Li Shizhu looked at Lin Yutong with a serious face: "Madam, I don't know how I have offended you... but I don't dare to offend you in any way. What you said is inappropriate. However, I am a dignified man.
, If you don’t care about a woman, you still..."
"Amitabha." Zhike Monk hurriedly came over, interrupted Li Shizhu's words, and said to Lin Yutong: "Your Highness, are you back?"
Your Highness?
This title is not worthy of ordinary people!
Thinking that there is a princess living in this temple, could this be her?
Li Shizhu's face suddenly turned pale, and he looked at Lin Yutong with a look in his eyes: "Princess... Your Highness..."
Lin Yutong ignored Li Shizhu, because at this moment, the people in the inner and outer circles who were watching the excitement knelt down. There were pilgrims who came to the temple to offer incense, but most of them were staying in the temple.
’s move.
"Get up." Lin Yutong said loudly, "You are all scholars. Once you become the disciple of the Emperor, you will be the guardian of the Emperor. If things are like today, just listen to one side of the words and follow what others say... Humph!
It’s better to go home as soon as possible to comfort the children. If you don’t even understand this, how dare you leave the people of this place into your hands.”
As he said that, he glanced at Guiwu who was already waiting aside, "This is my follower. Let him tell everyone what he saw when he followed Zhao Xun's actions."
Guiwu then stepped forward and responded, then waved, and two guards in casual clothes escorted Lin Da, who was dressed as a bodyguard that he had seen in the restaurant before, out. Gui Wu pointed at Lin Da and said loudly: "
This person's name is Lin Da. Under the instruction of a scholar named Hu, he bribed Li Juren for fifty taels of silver and asked him to frame his classmate and friend Zhao Xun." As he spoke, he pointed to the woman who was about to escape.
, "This woman was also found by Li Juren, and he paid her a tael of silver to tell her to clear up the matter in the temple." He pointed his eyes at the crowd, "Those two... are in the crowd.
The one who made the noise was the nephew of this woman." He sneered, took the chicken leg from the young monk's hand, and handed it to someone in the crowd, "Everyone, look at it, where is it ripped from the stolen chicken?
The chicken legs are obviously the braised meat of Liuweiju. If Zhao Juren had this skill, his life would not be so difficult..."
The man with the chicken legs stuffed looked like a pilgrim, and he was wearing a robe, which was quite elegant. Lin Yutong nodded secretly, this noble martial artist had also experienced it, so the selection was very reliable. The style of the sachet on this man was the best in the capital.
It has just become popular. This proves that this person is not a foreigner, so he must know about Liuweiju. Judging from his clothes, he is from a well-off family, so he is a place where middle-class people like Liuweiju can afford to spend money.
, I must have visited you. If you find such a person to identify you, you have found the right person. And the results of this identification will be more convincing.
Sure enough, I saw the man holding the chicken drumstick under his nose and smelling it, and then said with certainty: "Yeah! Yes, it smells like this. My little girl eats his braised food, and she has to buy it every ten and a half months.
.If Zhao Juren has the secret recipe of Liuweiju braised food, he will be really successful..." He waved his arms towards the crowd, as if this would make them more convinced.
Everyone was right. Let’s not mention whether this is Liuweiju’s braised food. It only uses seasoning. This is something Zhao Juren couldn’t do. It is still possible to eat stolen chicken in the wild with its skin peeled and roasted.
It's impossible to stew it in a pot like this and add various seasonings. Anyway, it looks like the chicken legs are colored. Oops! This is full of loopholes. Why didn't you understand it just now?
Zhao Xun blushed and bowed to the man: "Thank you for your fair words."
While talking like this, the woman who was trying to get into the crowd was in a hurry and tripped over a box on the ground. She said "Ouch" and made everyone laugh. To this woman,
Guiwu was reluctant to take action, so Sanxi went over and held the woman down: "It's not too late to explain the matter clearly before we leave!"
"Princess, please forgive me!" The woman knelt on the ground like a human being, with her forehead on the ground and kept kowtowing, "Princess, the little woman is blinded by money, the little woman deserves to die. Is that the one with the last name?
Mr. Li's husband gave the young lady a couple of silver coins and told her to do this... The young woman followed Mr. Li's words and said that the chicken feathers were picked up outside the back wall of the neighbor's house. Princess, please spare your life...
..." Looking back at the two nephews who were being held in custody, she immediately cried and said: "They all came to help according to the little woman's words. They have never done any serious evil. I beg the princess to get around them..."
Lin Yutong has no intention of getting into trouble with a few little people, but he must be punished for doing evil things: "...the road up and down the mountain will be cleaned every day for one year, and I will ask you to make atonement in front of the Buddha..."
When the woman thought about it, she got up early to clean the mountain road and finish the work before dawn. It did not delay the family's livelihood. She kowtowed hurriedly: "The princess is merciful, I will remember it, little lady."
Sanxi waved his hand, and the men who were escorting the woman's two nephews also let go of their hands. They kowtowed and hurriedly got out of the crowd.
However, the fourth master leaned down and picked up a piece of letter paper that fell out of the box, fearing that it would be blown away by the wind. Originally, he had no intention of reading the personal letter, but through the back, he saw Guo Changhe's
name.
Then he opened the letter and found that it was a letter of recommendation written by Zhao Xun's mentor to the then Prime Minister Guo Changhe.
The fourth master raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Xun who was packing boxes. The letter of recommendation in his hand was hard to find. Guo Changhe is very popular in the capital now. This letter can help Zhao Xun a lot.
If Zhao Xun passes the exam, then, with this letter, he will have some advantages over others when it comes to selecting officials. If he fails, his status as a candidate and his appointment as an official will be nothing more than nothing to Guo Changhe.
Raise your hand. The person who wrote the letter is a close friend of Guo Changhe. The reason why he wrote this letter is also because he knows Zhao Xun's difficulties. As long as you take the letter to Guo Changhe, everything in the capital will be solved by Guo.
Chang He arranged it so that he would not end up living in a temple. However, Zhao Xun placed such an important letter in the book box so casually. It seemed that he really had no intention of looking for Guo Changhe.
Such a person is not even willing to accept the favors from his own teacher and Guo Changhe, and naturally he looks down upon the so-called Master Zhang's support. Only the truly ambitious people value their own feathers so much.
.There is no room for anything in your body to be manipulated.
It's just that now, it still looks a bit immature.
The monk Zhike was also a little embarrassed at this moment: "This matter all started because the poor monk misunderstood other people's words. Thank you for Your Highness's wisdom, otherwise, it would be a sin for a good talent to be destroyed at the hands of a poor monk."
Lin Yutong waved his hand: "You don't need to tell me these words, go find the rightful owner." After saying that, he glanced at Li Shizhu who was standing there frozen and never recovered, "Of course the imperial court attaches great importance to the selection of talents.
True talent and practical learning, but character and morality are also included in the examination. The sage said that if you can't cultivate your moral integrity, harmonize your family, and govern the country, the world will be peaceful. If you can't even cultivate yourself, can the court still expect you to assist your majesty in governing the country? Therefore, be strict with yourself and be disciplined every day.
It is still necessary to examine myself three times a day."
"I sincerely follow His Highness's teachings!" Juzi present bowed and said.
The fourth master handed the picked up letter to Lin Yutong. Lin Yutong read it three lines at a time, turned to look at Zhao Xun who was standing aside with his hands folded, and then handed the letter over: "Since you are not willing to enter Prime Minister Guo's door now,
This princess appreciates your arrogance, and we will wait until you come to high school in Japan to talk about it."
Zhao Xun really knelt down to thank him this time. Not giving him special care at this time was already the greatest respect for him. And when he named him, he had a letter of recommendation for Prime Minister Guo in his hand, which helped him block it.
There are a lot of troubles. No matter who it is, they will not easily come to trouble themselves again.
By the time Lin Yutong and Fourth Master returned to the monastery in the back mountain, the sky was getting dark.
"This Zhao Xun... is probably very knowledgeable..." Lin Yutong pondered a little, otherwise his teacher wouldn't have written a letter to Guo Changhe specifically. This would be a huge debt of gratitude. "He is also proud and proud.
A few liang, but it’s just that I don’t know people well and make friends carelessly, so there are some..."
The Fourth Master shook his head: "It doesn't matter! He will gain wisdom and achieve success, who has never failed? This lesson is enough for him to remember for a lifetime..."
Lin Yutong understood what Fourth Master meant. No one in this world is perfect. If you just insist on being harsh and demanding perfection, you really won't be able to find anyone available.
Of course Lin Yutong knew the importance of reserving talents, but now that he was praying here, it was hard to meet these scholars.
In fact, the disadvantages of appearing here as a princess were immediately apparent.
It was inconvenient for both of them to walk around the temple. The posts delivered every day were piling up like a mountain. That was fine. What I was afraid of were those who submitted articles.
Not everyone among these scholars is like Zhao Xun. There are also those who are good at maneuvering. There are even those who don't really have much confidence in Chun Wei, who want to gain the favor of noble people through this way.
Of course, this kind of self-recommended person can't be bad. But in the end, the good and the bad are mixed. After reading two articles that were full of flattery, I was so disgusted that I almost vomited out my last night meal. It's easy to see Fourth Master reading it today.
It was interesting, so I had the patience to go over and take a look, it was amazing, this was a compliment to my appearance. And the one who directly handed over the painting, painted Lin Yutong to look like a Bodhisattva.
If you see such a plot in a novel, those who film horses usually have the aura of the protagonist, and they will definitely be favored. But Lin Yutong just felt goosebumps all over his body.
The Fourth Master looked at Lin Yutong and smiled: "You! You have to use the honest one, and you have to use the cunning one. Sometimes, the cunning one is easier to use than the upright one. You always judge people based on their likes and dislikes.
This is especially bad. If a person in a superior position cannot even accept the compliments of those below him calmly, this will make the people below him confused. It will also make people think that you are particularly difficult to get along with." He pulled Lin Yutong to look at the painting, "Throw it aside.
If you take a look at the factors that make you feel uncomfortable, you will see that there are merits in both fine brushwork and painting."
Lin Yutong chuckled. She always felt that being able to talk to anyone no matter what kind of person was an incredible ability and skill. However, she probably wouldn't be able to learn it in ten more lifetimes. This was something she was born with.
temperament.
The fourth master picked a lot of people and recorded them one by one in a book. Lin Yutong also rewarded many things based on the fourth master's evaluation. Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are the most basic. Some people who are particularly fond of,
Some of the Four Books and Five Classics with mentioned characters will be given as gifts. Those who are poorer will also be given silver envelopes, all of which are twenty taels of silver. For Lin Yutong, it is just a casual reward, but for some actions, it has been of great use.
Already.
Slowly, not only the Juren living in Daci'en Temple came to post, but also Juren who had settled in the capital also came to Da Ci'en Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.
"It's true that mountains are not high, and immortals are famous." Sanxi drew two sentences and said with a smile, "This shows that worshiping the master is more effective than worshiping the Buddha."
Lin Yutong sighed: "It's impossible to live here." If we continue to have such contact, it would be a taboo.
Two days after saying these words, Mr. Gan sent a message asking Lin Yutong to return to the capital.
She had heard about wanting to come here. She was here to help someone in need.
On the day when the snow particles fell, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master quietly went down the mountain without disturbing anyone.
Lin Yutong held the heater and looked outside the carriages and horses. It was early today and the weather was cold, so there were not many people on the streets of Cien Town. Even if someone occasionally walked around, they were all in a hurry with their necks hunched. From a distance, look
I saw a group of carriages coming towards me. The sacks on the carriages should be filled with food and other things. Just looking at the depth of the ruts, I knew that the things on the carriages were not light. I saw that there were many things on and around each carriage.
There were several strong men escorting her. She wondered, in this town at the foot of the capital, did it require so much effort to deliver food? Those people didn't look like the clerks at the grain store, but more like the bodyguards of the bodyguard bureau.
While she was puzzled, the fourth master immediately lowered the curtain.
"Isn't it appropriate?" Lin Yutong looked at Fourth Master.
Fourth Master slowly put down the book in his hand, "It's hard to say now, I'm afraid..."
"What?" Lin Yutong asked anxiously.
"Hidden soldiers." Fourth Master moved his mouth and said these two words silently.
Hiding soldiers?
How to hide soldiers? Hiding soldiers among the people. But there must be land around for them to cultivate, otherwise they will become refugees?
Immediately, Lin Yutong's expression changed, and she thought of a possibility.
This is the Daci'en Temple. Historically, temples have actually been owned by big landowners. In some places, the land occupied by temples accounts for one-third or even half of the total cultivated land area.
They rented out these lands and collected rent. But even so, there were still many unattended mountains and forests. In such a place, let alone three to five thousand troops, ten or twenty thousand, could not easily be dispersed.
Make people aware of it.
But who hid this soldier? Who is he taking orders from now?
None of this is known, and there is no way to even guess.
"I will ask someone to check it out." Fourth Master added charcoal to the charcoal basin in the carriage again. "We can't make any noise for the time being, so as not to alert others."
Lin Yutong kicked off his boots and lay down on the couch, "When do you think we can live a relaxed life?"
The fourth master wrapped her feet in his arms and then pulled the blanket over the two of them, "That's not how people live. It's a common people's house. It's trouble for trouble."
While talking, he couldn't help but talk about the prince's inspection of river affairs. "According to the days, it's time to return to the capital."
The fourth master chuckled lightly: "Not to mention, this prince really cannot be underestimated. He was assassinated three times along the way and was avoided every time."
"Then this is really interesting." Lin Yutong closed his eyes, "I'm afraid Prince Duan left a lot of things and manpower for the prince." Then, he thought of something again and said: "You said, outside the capital,
Could it be that what is hidden is a secret move made by King Duan back then?"
"It's possible." Fourth Master opened the curtains a crack and let the wind in. "Let's take a look first. Don't be in a hurry."
Lin Yutong was not in a hurry, but when he arrived in the capital and entered the palace, he reported the matter to Gan in private.
Mrs. Gan nodded: "Jin Chengan is not a vegetarian. He knows what the emperor is keeping him for, so he will stare at the prince without blinking. And we can't cause trouble for the prince, and we should release him at the right time.
Good intentions. Since you are the prince, your status has been determined. Recognize orthodoxy and uphold orthodoxy, and you will never suffer any loss!" She also mentioned a few words casually, and then asked about the Great Ci'en Temple.
"... Are you optimistic about the one named Zhao Xun?"
This is not a question of whether you like it or not.
Lin Yutong waved his hand: "According to the rules, if he can't pass the test by himself... then we'll see what happens."
"If you make an exceptional promotion, he will be more grateful to you." Mr. Gan said pointedly.
Lin Yutong looked at Mr. Gan with some confusion: "How do you say this?"
Mrs. Gan pointed to the chair opposite, asked Lin Yutong to sit down, and then said: "There was a prime minister named Yu Chengen in the previous dynasty. They said he was very talented, but he failed to pass the Jinshi examination in the end.
At that time, Emperor Yan Gaozu promoted this person in an unusual way. After that, Yu Chengen assisted the two young masters after Emperor Yan. He had great power in the government but did not covet the royal family at all. This became a good story between emperors and ministers.
A while ago, I read through many secret files left by the previous dynasty, and found out that Yu Chengen did not fail the exam, but was suppressed by Emperor Gaozu. The examiner found on his paper that he did not have high praise for him.
Grandfather avoided taboos and had his test papers removed."
Great-great-grandfather? How many generations has it been like? What are you avoiding? This is deliberately looking for trouble.
Usually when this kind of problem arises, the examiner will help him by casually adding a stroke to the word, which is regarded as a taboo. You can't block a talent from the door just because of this matter. This is actually a mental understanding during the exam.
Not only will you not be held accountable for things that are not announced, it will also show that the examiner is humane and knows how to adapt.
But for people like Yu Chengen, it’s hard to say whether they are unlucky or lucky. Obviously, the things you can get must be placed in your hands in the form of grace. I guess if Yu Chengen knew about this,
I felt like I had the heart of Emperor Yan after eating it.
She immediately understood what Mr. Gan meant. Didn't she want to press it down first and then lift it up?
Lin Yutong waved his hand: "No! What should we do? Fairness and justice, this is the most basic attitude. You can make so many years of efforts in vain because of me. Everyone has his own persistence, Zhao Xun doesn't
Yu Chengen, Yu Chengen is willing to accept this grace, but Zhao Xun is not." People are different, times are different, and the methods should naturally be different. She absolutely does not agree with this.
Gan did not insist and asked Lin Yutong to bring a pair of bear paws home.
After Lin Yutong left, Mrs. Gan said to Aunt He: "This child is good at everything, he is a great gentleman."
Isn’t it good to be too much of a gentleman?
Grandma He was a little confused.
Mr. Gan shook his head. The ideal state is of course half villain and half gentleman.
I was thinking this, but I couldn't continue this topic with Aunt He, so I just asked: "Why did Lin Fanghua send people to the Lin family? Have you asked clearly?"
Aunt He whispered: "The purpose is to ask the Lin family to free up all other courtyards to support those poor people."
"She is really crazy." Mr. Gan laughed sarcastically, "The right way is not to eat food that comes from outside. These scholars can stay in the temple because the temple is under the banner of Buddhism, and they eat a bowl of rice gifted by the Buddha. But what if
It is absolutely forbidden to accept food from others. Just watch, if you don't do well, you will be scolded."
Aunt He curled her lips: "It was the old lady who forced me to take out two Zhuangzi. The rest, that woman from the Yun family, was not happy."
Mr. Gan smiled and was not in the mood to care about this matter. He just took the paper handed over by the prince and said in a daze: "These people who the prince participated in are all related to Prince Duan's palace. Now he has taken the initiative to throw these people out...
It’s a good move.”
Aunt He silently poured some tea for Mrs. Gan and went to guard the door.
Bear's paw, one of the eight delicacies, is not something that ordinary people can make. Even Lin Yutong did not dare to try it easily for fear of wasting such good ingredients.
We still found a sunny day after the snow, and took the cook with us to a villa that Fourth Master had built in the capital.
In the courtyard, a few plum blossom trees were sparsely blooming, and the cold air carried the fragrance of plum blossoms. In the pavilion, people sat around the stove, boiling old wine.
Guo Chang took a sip and said to the fourth master: "The princess and the consort will enjoy it. This wine is even cleaner than the hundred-year-old wine I drank at Zuixian Tower last time, but I really can't name it.
"
The fourth master didn't answer, turned his face and poured another drink for Marquis Jing'an: "Try it, and see if what I'm saying is just lies?"
Marquis Jing'an drank it and tasted it: "There is no such fine wine in the palace. It is a rare good thing."
Lin Yutong saw that the three of them had already drank, so he asked others to pass on the food. The rest was just that, but this braised bear paw was extremely rare.
The four of them sat at the table, talking only about eating and drinking, occasionally talking about romantic affairs, but never mentioned the matters in the court.
In fact, Lin Yutong was murmuring in her heart about Fourth Master inviting these two people over for dinner. For a moment, she didn't even think of anything that she needed to inform these two people about.
However, after we had had enough wine and food, before going out, Marquis Jing'an grabbed the Fourth Master and said, "Your filial piety is almost over."
The grandchildren have been observing filial piety for one year, which is almost over.
"It's better to have a child as soon as possible." Marquis Jing'an laughed, "This man is old and likes to have more children and be blessed."
But Fourth Master and Lin Yutong knew that what he wanted to say was not about having more children and more happiness.
Only when they have children, some people will want to get close to her. Otherwise, this princess will be just a duckweed after all.
Because at this time, no one knows what Gan's plan is. Even if Gan's success has come true, it will be a problem that there will be no successor.
Marquis Jing'an's words were a kind reminder.
After returning, Lin Yutong asked Fourth Master, who had been pondering, "Why did you invite them here today?"
The fourth master shook his head: "No reason! They can come, this is their attitude. What else should I say?" He sighed, "However, it is indeed difficult for Concubine Chen to succeed! For thousands of years, women have been weak and men have been strong.
How easy is it to ask a man to bow his head in front of a woman?" Guo Changhe, who has received favors, may not compromise easily.
He skipped this topic and explained to Lin Yutong, "I originally wanted to contact several generals guarding the border through Marquis Jing'an. Now... Marquis Jing'an should understand what I mean, but as he reminded, a
She's just a princess, why should she...not have such a position?"
Lin Yutong finally understood, "No wonder we were reminded to have children."
But neither of them would use their children as bargaining chips. Therefore, they had to find another way to plan this matter.
After the two returned to the house at night, Sanxi came to report, "There has been no movement in the warehouse before, but I didn't expect that when I sent people to clean the snow on the roof today, I discovered that the tiles on the warehouse had been moved.
. It must have been turned over by someone a long time ago. I don’t know if it was done by someone from our yard, or..."
Lin Yutong looked at Fourth Master: "It seems that there are quite a few people who can use it. We didn't notice anything was moved."
The fourth master chuckled: "Then when the prince comes back, you have to find an opportunity to have a good chat with him. Duke Jin's palace and the princess's palace are two different things. Jin Chengan's attitude does not represent my attitude. And
Naturally, my attitude cannot represent the attitude of you, the princess."
That's true. It's a bit unfair to be tied up with Jin Cheng'an.
But by the time the prince returned to the capital, it was already November.
A decree was sent to the palace asking him to enter the palace because the emperor was going to hold a reception banquet for the prince.
Normally, the fourth master would not follow such a thing into the palace. "I just happened to be going to deal with the secret guard camp. Let's also see where the people who assassinated the prince came from?"
Lin Yutong then entered the palace alone.
The reception banquet was held in the pavilion of Meilin. Emperor Yongkang looked much healthier than before. At least his complexion was not so sallow and he no longer needed help when walking. There were rumors in the palace recently that Li Cairen had fallen out of favor and the emperor would not go.
If you spend the night. Therefore, the Lin Fanghua I saw today did have a somewhat resentful look on his face.
The queen kept picking up food for the prince: "This child has been living in the open air for several months, but he has suffered a lot."
But Lin Yutong felt that there was a different kind of light in the prince's eyes, which he had never seen before when he was trapped in the palace. It can only be said that he gained a lot from this trip. "The queen is too worried, my son."
It's been a good journey all the way. If you wronged anyone, you won't wrong your son. The prince of a country always needs the face and pomp."
Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows. He would never have said the words 'Crown of a Country' so confidently before.
It seems that he has gradually understood the status of the crown prince in the hearts of officials and people. He has also slowly begun to enter this role. More importantly, he is afraid that he has come into contact with the power left to him by Prince Duan.
Power and wealth are the daring of man!
There was no expression on her face, she just silently ate the melons and vegetables that Gan brought over.
Emperor Yongkang asked someone to pass a plate of fresh strawberries to Lin Yutong, "This is from the greenhouse. I always feel it is sour. You young people have good teeth. How does it taste?"
Lin Yutong received it in his hand, but before he thanked him, he heard Emperor Yongkang turning to ask the prince: "I heard that there were bandits on the road? I was shocked when I received the report. I didn't dare to say anything, for fear that your mother would know about it and follow her.
You are worried."
The queen's expression changed as expected, and she looked the prince up and down: "Where is my son injured?"
The prince glanced at Emperor Yongkang and whispered to the queen: "Don't worry, mother, my father has given his son the power to do things for his own convenience. How can a few thieves do anything to me if we mobilize local troops and bravery?"
The queen's face looked better now.
But Lin Yutong thought to himself: The power to act expediently means that officials from various places can do whatever he wants. But the power to mobilize troops is not within the scope of acting expediently. The prince has learned to shut up the emperor. This should be an improvement.
What? Or is he a coward?
Lin Yutong ate a half-red and half-white strawberry and slurped it for a long time without getting a taste of it. She ate seriously, but her ears and eyes were not idle at all.
She saw Emperor Yongkang's hand holding the spoon obviously pause, and then she saw Mrs. Gan take away the soup bowl in front of the emperor, "Eat the vegetables first, then drink the soup. Then I drank the medicine, and my stomach was full of soup."
It seemed that the emperor's pause just now was just because of a bowl of soup.
Then, while serving the Yongkang Emperor with a smile, she said to the prince: "Fortunately, the prince is calm and knows how to mobilize troops, otherwise, the emperor would not be in a hurry. After receiving the news from General Zhenxi, he even praised me for a long time.
He said that His Highness is courageous."
Emperor Yongkang nodded: "When you come back this time, you should ask General Zhenxi to send troops to escort you back directly. Don't be so brave again."
Jin Yunshun nodded: "Yes! I obey the order." The most difficult thing was not expected to be explained in such a few words. He really couldn't believe it. He made up many reasons on the way, but when it came to Concubine Chen's mouth
It's such an understatement. It seems that it is really necessary to make good friends with Concubine Chen. With this in mind, he turned to talk to Lin Yutong: "What have you been doing in the capital during this time?"
Lin Yutong pursed his lips and smiled, placed the plate of strawberries between the two of them, and said, "Me, I just eat and drink and go wherever the excitement comes from. I don't have anything serious to do. It's very boring!"
Jin Yunshun understood immediately. This princess was not a member of the serious clan. Generally, if the female family members of the clan had a gathering, they would not necessarily invite her to join them. After all, the illegitimate daughter of the royal family was also an illegitimate daughter. With such an identity
, some elders don’t like it. And she doesn’t want to go to the gatherings of her subordinates’ female relatives. They are all ingratiating themselves, isn’t that boring?
He didn't know what he was thinking of, so he turned to Emperor Yongkang and said, "My son, I really have some ideas, and I want to tell my father about it. If I can't tell you, I have to trouble my sister."
Emperor Yongkang felt that Jin Yunshun was repeatedly testing his bottom line. There was a flash of anger in his heart, but his face became more kind and kind: "You are the prince, what do you say? You don't need to be so cautious."
Lin Yutong felt that this was a bit like the first and second leaders fighting each other.
Jin Yunshun's eyes flashed, he put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "As soon as my son entered the capital, he heard a lot of rumors in the market. It seemed that some people had set aside other courtyards to provide food, accommodation, etc. for the children who came to the capital. My son felt that this
No matter what the reason is, doing this seems to be a bit of an invitation to buy people's hearts. The method is not advisable."
Haha, this prince is taking a shot at Lin Fanghua. Who doesn't know that Li Cairen entrusted the old lady of the Lin family, a distant relative, to fund the charity work of poor students. Now, the prince opened his mouth and said that Lin Fanghua was buying people's hearts. It was really interesting.
Of course, the conflict between the two parties was something Emperor Yongkang was happy to see.
Seeing that Emperor Yongkang's shoulders had relaxed, Lin Yutong said casually: "What my son said makes sense, what do you think should be done?"
Lin Fanghua looked angry and wanted to speak, but Emperor Yongkang gave him a cold look and scared him back.
Jin Yunshun stood up: "In the future, I can build a library in the capital to collect unique and rare manuscripts from all over the world. If any of these students are poor, they can copy books in the library in exchange for three meals a day. These manuscripts
The books are put away in categories, and they can be borrowed from outside on weekdays or read in the library. This opens the door to convenience for students who want to learn but cannot afford books..."
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Yongkang said hello repeatedly.
