As soon as Lin Yutong said these words, even Su Peisheng, a person who was refreshed on her knowledge every day, couldn't help but feel shocked on his face.
Although this is correct, it is a bit too vulgar to say it from the Queen's mouth.
Besides, at that time, the imperial concubine was also the person that Long live the Lord had favored for ten years, and she also gave birth to several children. Although there was only one alive, it was still a matter of affection. Now in front of the Long live Lord, this lady has no room to speak.
Don't stay either.
He carefully looked at the face of Lord Long Live, and saw that Lord Long Live was only smiling on one side. After that, he stretched out his hand to tug on the Queen's sleeve, saying, "Your temper..." He looked very doting on her.
Su Peisheng lowered his eyelids and sighed inwardly. It was hard to say whether this person would be good or bad, honorable or favored in his life until the end. Nian's natal family also had a capable brother.
There was also a son poking at her. She probably thought about the day when she would fall out of favor, but she never thought that the one who would be favored would be a middle-aged queen. Where could this loser go to reason?
He lowered his head and retreated slowly. He had to tell the people below that there was no need to stare at Yikun Palace from now on. There was no need to waste his energy.
Lin Yutong pursed his lips in the direction Su Peisheng went out, "This old guy..." He's become a spirit.
The fourth master laughed, Tongtong's actions just now were enough for Nian to endure for the rest of the day.
Nian felt uncomfortable everywhere that night. She wasn't pretending to be sick, she was really sick. She didn't sit properly during the confinement period, which was really hard on her in the summer. She couldn't bear the heat, and she would sweat all over her body if it got even hotter.
I thought it would be cooler if I opened the window, but who knew that I didn't dare to see a little wind, otherwise I would have a headache. But I can't stand the heat, and I can't blow the wind, so I tried using ice, but this ice is really cold, a little bit
The cold air seeped out from my body, my bones hurt from the cold, and the heat in my body couldn't go away. I didn't dare to call the imperial doctor before, and no one knew what was going on with my brother. I could only take a bath with warm water for an hour every day.
It took a while to feel better. But I couldn't have any peace of mind, and I had to remember my brother who was far away in the border area. I asked people to hurry up and send news to my brother, and I asked people to find a doctor outside to find some pills to take. Today I have to take some pills.
A letter from my brother arrived. The letter promised me to rest assured that nothing would happen to me. I just asked myself to take good care of Fuhui. Someone from the Nian family also tried to send news to the palace, saying that my brother's book would be released today.
The son has been delivered to the emperor in a hurry. She is the imperial doctor who has made time to ask for the transmission. Thinking that the imperial doctor is coming, the long live master should be here. These days, the long live master is indifferent to this place, if not
From time to time, people would be sent to check on Fu Hui. She really thought that Long Live Lord had forgotten her.
I took a bath early, chose clothes, put on my makeup, and looked in the mirror and felt perfect. Then I was supported by my grandma and leaned on the couch to wait.
But the wait lasted for most of an hour, and neither the imperial doctor nor the Long Live Lord was seen.
Aunt Fang comforted her on the side, "Maybe there is something big going on in the court, and Long live the Lord is delayed."
Nian pursed her lips and said nothing. She was silent for a long time before saying, "Help me go to bed." With a woman's intuition, she knew that there was a high probability that Long Live the Lord would not be able to come today.
Aunt Fang sighed invisibly, and just as she stretched out her hand to help Nian, there was a flash of lightning, and light suddenly came through the window. The sudden light made people feel uncomfortable for a moment. Nian even
He raised his hand to cover his eyes.
"What are you doing?" Grandma Fang helped Nian to go to bed while arranging the serving girls, "Hurry up, close the doors and windows..." It's raining heavily today, and it's the master who suffers from the moisture seeping in.
Thunder rumbled from the sky, covering up Grandma Fang's voice.
Just as the door creaked shut, it was pushed open with a creak. Lian Gui hurried in from the outside.
Aunt Fang winked at him hurriedly, but Mo Shang asked: "Where is the imperial doctor? With this rain, I'm afraid it will be delayed for a while..."
Where is the delay? No one came at all.
Lian Gui turned around and said quickly: "The rain is very bad today. I heard that it has been raining in some places outside the palace for a while."
The sun rises in the east and rains in the west. This is not surprising at all in summer weather.
Nian didn't raise any suspicion, and Long Live the Lord didn't come. How dare the imperial doctor not come? Seeing that Lian Gui was all wet, she said, "It won't be here for a while. You go and change your clothes first."
Lian Gui responded repeatedly and immediately retreated from inside. After having a cup of tea on the corridor outside, Grandma Fang settled down and Nian looked for an opportunity to come out.
When he came out and saw that Lian Gui's clothes were still wet, he knew that something was wrong, "What's wrong?"
"The imperial doctor has entered the palace, but he was invited by Yongshou Palace on the way." Lian Gui's voice lowered, "With the rain now, I'm afraid we..." won't even be able to get out.
Yongshou Palace?
"Concubine Xi... Your Majesty." Aunt Fang frowned, "We have always been indifferent to the well, so why are you here today?"
So who knows?
Concubine Xi looks honest, but if she were honest, fourth elder brother Hongli wouldn't be as good as he is now.
Seeing that Aunt Fang seemed to have no idea, Lian Gui tentatively said: "Otherwise, send someone to wait outside Yongshou Palace." After seeing that, you can always come over.
This can only be done like this. Aunt Fang whispered: "Tell the people below to keep their mouths tight and don't let the news reach the ears of the empress."
This is natural.
If the empress knew how someone would step on her face like this, how would she be able to swallow her breath?
Just as she was about to leave, Aunt Fang's eyes flashed, "If it doesn't work, go to the Tai Hospital again. Just say..." She pointed in the direction of Fuhui's yard, "It's just that our elder brother is unwell..." She didn't believe it.
Who would dare to resort to such tricks again. "We'll talk about it after we get here. I just wanted to show the queen... I still can't let the queen know about this."
This is also a way.
In the Yongshou Palace, the imperial doctor was sitting in the side hall, 'considering' a prescription. Actually, there is nothing to consider about this prescription. It's just a little bit angry. A bowl of mung bean soup a day will solve all the problems. But after thinking about it,
He still picked up his pen and wrote Coptidis Coptidis. There was an old man over there waiting to read the prescription.
Hongli had already changed out of his wet clothes and then sat by the couch, "Mother, are you feeling better now?"
Niu Gulu asked someone to pass ginger tea over, "Sit down, E Niang is fine."
Hongli looked at Niu Gulu's face again. Seeing that he looked good and was in good spirits, he relaxed a little and said, "Tomorrow, I'll tell Huang Ama and I'll send you an imperial doctor."
Now this reward to the imperial doctor has become the most enviable favor.
First of all, the Queen Mother. There are two imperial doctors on duty at the Queen Mother, who work in shifts day and night in the Imperial Hospital and wait for the weather call. If there is no call, they will ask for Ping An pulse for the Queen Mother once in the morning and evening. At least one of the several old concubines. These old concubines
Medical records are delivered to the sons of these concubines on time every day from Youtai Hospital, and they are extremely meticulous.
Next came Prince Zhi and Prince Li. The two old princes now have imperial doctors living in their houses. Every day, the medical records are presented to the emperor, and the emperor wants to see them.
Next is the Thirteenth Master. The Thirteenth Master has three imperial doctors by himself. One is guarding the Thirteenth Master’s house, one is in the ward, and the third one is younger and can follow the Thirteenth Master everywhere. He almost takes care of him.
Looking at the doctor. When it comes to favor, he is definitely the first person. Of course, no one can say anything sarcastic about this. Who doesn’t know that Master Thirteen is so busy that he can barely touch the ground. Because of the previous
Lord Tian Long Live also personally made a schedule for the Thirteenth Lord. He required the Thirteenth Lord to strictly implement it. When should he go to bed, when should he get up, when should he eat, and when should he exercise. There are all time regulations. He even sent eunuchs.
Keep an eye on this matter.
Speaking of envy, who wouldn’t be envious? Huang Ama has many brothers, which brother has received such grace?
Even for their brothers, Emperor Ama also arranged for an imperial physician. The princes, elder brothers, and several imperial uncles shared two imperial physicians. They were always on call, which was quite convenient.
To say that Huang Ama has been kind to everyone recently, she seems to be lenient to everyone. But to be honest, she is very indifferent to the harem. If she does not visit the harem during the filial piety period, no one can say anything. But at least she can see her.
It’s not too much to meet the concubines. Even if you don’t have time to see them, just give them a favor every now and then. Whether it’s just a pot of flowers or a piece of paper, it’s just something you mean. But Huang Ama doesn’t, it seems that all the patience and
All my thoughts are on the queen.
When I'm with the Queen, most of what I talk about is business.
In this way, it is a bit too tiring.
I was very tired of studying by myself.
When Concubine Xi heard what her son said, a smile appeared on her face. She had never expected the emperor to treat her well in her life. A woman who has a son is much more reliable than a man. Don't look at the emperor's current treatment of the queen.
Okay, but what about the queen? Ask her if she would rather have a man or a son.
"Don't beg your Majesty Ama for E Niang." Concubine Xi stopped smiling and said, "Compared with the Queen, E Niang and your Emperor Ama have less affection. Please respect the Queen more.
, think more about the queen, it will take a long time to see people's hearts. In this regard, you should learn from your mother." If it weren't for that forbearance, he might not be the one who gets to the end.
Hongli nodded in an educated manner. If he wasn't his own mother, he wouldn't dare to tell him this.
When Concubine Xi saw her son's confirmation, her eyes became a little more proud, "Why did you, my mother-in-law, ask the imperial doctor today?" Then she whispered about Nian's request for the imperial doctor, "Isn't Nian's request for the imperial doctor?"
It worked..." This woman has been so pampered these years that she has forgotten who she is. She talks lovingly to Long Live Master. A man who has a country in his heart, what does a woman mean to him? It's a pity that she just looks at it.
It's not clear. "Mother, this is not to beat up a drowned dog, this is to show the queen."
Those who share the same hatred are our own people. Women’s friendship is that simple.
She had to let the queen know that she was on the same side as her.
As soon as Hongli heard this, he probably understood that this was a matter for Emperor Ama's harem and a woman's matter. As his son, let alone not being allowed to get involved, he shouldn't even be listening.
After talking for a while, he got up and went to see the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor. Seeing that it was all medicine for irritation, he nodded without saying anything and let the imperial doctor prepare the medicine.
When I came out, I saw the eunuch of Yikun Palace poking around outside, and I couldn't help but feel a little pity for her. Concubine Nian... was also a beauty with a bad fate.
There was a heavy rain in the evening, which gave me a good night's sleep.
Lin Yutong only found out about Niu Gulu and Nian when she got up in the morning. While gargling, she listened to Zizhu say: "...it's already past the age of 18, and Concubine Xi is feeling better. Brother Fuhui just happened to be feeling a little unwell.
, the imperial doctor followed again..."
"Is Fuhui okay?" Lin Yutong spat out the mouthwash, knowing that he was probably using the excuse of being a child to hire a doctor for Nian, but he still asked.
"I haven't heard it's bad." Zizhu handed over the towel and whispered.
I haven't heard that it's bad, so it's good.
Lin Yutong said "hmm" and continued to wash up. As for Nian Gengyao, the Fourth Master had already planned to deal with it. Nian was just a small problem. Before Nian Gengyao fell, it really couldn't be dealt with for the time being. But just look at the button
The Colu family knew that the Nian family had been favored and arrogant over the years, and had offended many people. Now, of course, there are revenges and grievances. The Nian family's life in the palace was not much easier.
As for how to deal with Nian Gengyao, the Fourth Master didn't say anything last night. For a moment, she really didn't know what the Fourth Master would do.
But that wasn't her concern. After cleaning herself up, she got up and went to the kitchen, saying, "Long live the Lord, I'll call you after you come to court." It's time to cook.
When breakfast was ready, Lin Yutong was about to send Zhang Qilin to invite him. But the fourth master sent Su Peisheng over to get the meal. Only then did Lin Yutong know that the fourth master had asked the fourteenth to enter the palace.
Call Fourteen in?
do what?
Is it for Nian Gengyao?
"Nian Gengyao?" Fourteen's hand stiffened as he stuffed the elephant-eye buns into his mouth, "What's wrong with Nian Gengyao?" Isn't he a slave of yours?
Fourth Master picked up the soup bowl and took a few sips, "Don't tell me that you can't command your people over there in the northwest."
Fourteen was so frightened by these words that he coughed, "Brother I don't dare." Where are your people and my people? "Is it the king's land in the whole world? Is it the king's ministers who are on the shore of the land..."
The Fourth Master waved his hand, "Okay! I don't want to hold you accountable for anything, and I don't mean to settle accounts with those people." He tapped the plate in front of him with the chopsticks in his hand, "I'm talking about business now."
Business?
Yes! This must be serious business.
But it sounds a bit confusing.
It's your business to deal with Nian Gengyao, you have nothing to say to me.
Who am I? I am your political enemy, right! What kind of trick are you playing? I have been fooled by you so much that I can’t tell the difference between east, west and north. Don’t play tricks on me here. This time
Didn't I tell you when I came back? My legs and feet are weak, I can't ride a horse or use a bow, so I plan to confine myself in the capital.
That's it, why are you testing me?
Fourteen scratched his head, "Brother Chen..."
Fourth Master directly interrupted his refusal and said, "It's settled and I'll make you the prince."
"Gudong!" Fourteen swallowed the saliva and the words he wanted to refuse. He raised his hand and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, stood up and left, "Please do it."
The Fourth Master watched Fourteenth go out, then picked up his chopsticks and slowly finished his breakfast.
The Fourteen today is not the Fourteen in his twenties. At that time, the Fourteen was young, full of edges and sharpness. Now the Fourteen is thirty-six-six-year-old, and he has already gained experience in commanding the army for many years.
Fourteen came out of the palace and went directly back to the house without going anywhere.
Fujin Wanyan is waiting at home.
"Did you tell the emperor?" Wanyan asked in a hurry as he took the handkerchief to wipe Shi Shi Shi's sweat.
"What did you say?" Shi Shi was still thinking about what the emperor had told him. He reached out and took the handkerchief from Fujin's hand, wiped his face and sat aside to think about it.
This person!
Wanyan threw the handkerchief into the basin with such force that water splashed everywhere. A drop of water happened to fall on Shi Shi's nose.
Fourteen stretched out his hand and said, "You bitch..."
In the two days after he came back, Fujin had been so gentle and considerate. If his face hadn't changed, he would have almost thought he was a different person. It has only been a few days, but his true colors have been revealed.
Wanyan is still angry.
How majestic is the general who leads the army in the war. He has been gone for several years, and he is like a widow in this mansion. When the man comes back, can you not be gentle? If you are not gentle, you will not find those little goblins and goblins in your backyard.
The little goblins you brought back? Why should you, your own man, have to wrong yourself?
But this use made her sneer in her heart. This man in his thirties couldn't compare to when he was twenty. He could only be used to make ends meet. That's all.
If you don't feel energetic after two nights, your patience will be exhausted.
In addition, everyone has gone to the palace to ask for errands for their children, and my father is sitting at home hatching eggs. Several sons are wandering around the capital idle, you think you are an aunt.
Why don't you think about the children? Your brother is still sitting on the throne. To put it bluntly, you should use it while the Queen Mother is still alive and her face is still useful.
Despite all the talk for several days, Mao stayed at home and refused to move.
Okay! If you don’t want to go, you won’t go. Who doesn’t have some self-respect? The emperor’s decision to release people is black and white. I can’t get over this hurdle in my heart for the time being. We have tried our best to understand.
But today it is the emperor who announces our entry into the palace. This is a smooth talk. I have repeatedly reminded you before going out, but when I came back, I pretended to be stupid.
If it weren't for the fear that his son's wife would know the joke, she would have to beat this man up today.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his tone became worse, "Then what did you do in the palace?"
Oh my God.
On the 14th, after seeing Yan's hand on the vase, she raised her butt halfway, "What are you doing? Put it down, put it down!" This prodigal woman, didn't the vase be bought with silver? Now there is not even a salary in the house.
If you don't send it, you don't know if the whole family is just sitting on its laurels. "Put it down! We are talking about business today..."
Then my son’s matter is no longer a serious matter?
Wanyan's face became even more angry.
"It's about the title." Seeing Wanyan's hand tightening on the vase, Shi Shi said quickly, "With the title, you have everything. What are you talking about?"
Wanyan could believe him, "It's just because of those stupid things you did."
What is a bad thing?
How did Huang Ama find Fujin for herself in the first place, "Is this the tutor of your Wanyan family?"
If you can, please send me back.
Shi Shi was really hopeless. He stepped forward and carefully took the vase from Wanyan's hand. If he hadn't felt that this woman had been guarding the house all these years, raising children, being filial to her mother, taking care of the backyard, and being worried about him, how could he have done it?
He really may not have the patience to let her fool around here. He waved his hand and dismissed all the people serving him, and then quietly mentioned the matter to Wanyan, "...Watch your mouth, this is okay.
Don’t talk nonsense outside until it’s done.”
"The emperor's work is fair and aboveboard, what can't be said?" Wanyan asked with bright eyes, "Is he really a prince? You must work harder. Try to earn a hereditary inheritance for our son when you close your eyes in the future.
Don’t come here for me.”
Shi Shiyi choked and glared: "Stop dreaming about your Spring and Autumn Dream." Are you hereditary? If I die for the emperor, I can almost earn you one. Women who don't expect good things from me, my heart
It's a real wolf. He warned worriedly, "What I'm telling you is a serious matter. Keep your mouth shut. Don't even mention your two sons and those messy people in your mother's family. Don't even reveal it."
"As he spoke, he sighed, "Why do you do this errand for me when you are the emperor?"
Where do I know where to go?
Besides, am I in charge?
Wanyan cursed in his heart, but listened very patiently on his face. He just wanted to hear if he could reveal something about the title. How could this matter sound mysterious? As a good listener, he handed over the words in a timely manner, "
Why?"
"No matter what, Nian Gengyao deserves to be a hero." The Fourteenth narrowed his eyes as he spoke. Without Nian Gengyao, the situation would not have stabilized so quickly.
Wanyan understood this, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be so doting on Nian."
Fourteen nodded approvingly, "That's it." After saying that, he asked, "Then you said that the throne has just been stabilized, and you are rushing to deal with Nian Gengyao. What do you call this?"
"Killing the hero at risk." Wanyan immediately covered her mouth after saying these four words, "Long live the Lord, you are asking me to take the blame."
Not accurate but not a big difference.
Fourteen's expression became complicated, "Nian Gengyao is unruly, such a person..." He shook his head, "Killing him would not be considered unjust." However, the emperor really didn't want to bear the infamy, so he couldn't take action directly.
He found a knife. He was the knife in his hand.
But if you don’t do it yourself, others will.
Besides, Nian Gengyao is a slave. I have long disliked him, so I decided to deal with him. Now there are two questions. One is how to deal with him? Who will deal with him? To what extent? The second is how to deal with him.
What happens after it’s over?
Wanyan's mind couldn't wrap her mind around listening to her husband talking to himself.
"You must first think clearly how much affection Long Live Lord still has for Nian Gengyao and Concubine Nian in the palace. Only then can you determine the appropriateness of your attack. Should you kill him directly or suffer some petty crimes? Should you kill him directly?
What? Or should we capture the person first and then escort him back to Beijing for interrogation? There are also people who will do it. With so many of my subordinates, who is suitable to do this? Today's me is not the Fourteenth Master before, how can I guarantee that I will be selected?
People must be able to obey orders without hesitation." As Fourteen said, he leaned back on the chair on one side and slowly closed his eyes, "These are all things that need to be carefully considered. If one thing is not good, then this is
It’s not merit but success. Even if the emperor didn’t say anything at the time when it was done, if you feel uncomfortable, what will happen in the future? Find an opportunity and give up the title again?”
Wanyan didn't dare to speak anymore. She understood these words individually, but not all together. But today she looked at the wrinkles on the man's forehead and the corners of his eyes, and for some reason, her nose suddenly felt sore.
one time.
He is no longer the Great General King, he seems to have aged ten years overnight.
The couple stood and sat, just waiting in silence. Old Fourteen quietly closed his eyes and thought, while Wanyan just looked at him motionless.
This is a rare quiet time between the couple.
Just as he was enjoying himself, there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps outside. Wanyan turned around, and Fourteen stood up immediately, frowning and asking in a loud voice: "What's wrong?"
"Master! The imperial edict has arrived..."
The couple looked at each other, the edict was coming? What could it be?
"A knighthood?" Wanyan's eyes sparkled.
"Not so fast!" It's not such a good thing to ask someone to advance your remuneration before you even do anything.
After changing his clothes and setting up the incense table, he knelt down to listen to the order.
The decree was brought by Su Peisheng himself. Fourteen's ears were buzzing as he heard: "...canonized Aixinjueluo Yunzhen...prince of Duoluo...titled 'Qin'..."
Diligent?
Prince?
Prince Qin?
It wasn't until Su Peisheng left and Fourteen came back to his senses with the imperial edict that he was really the king of the county.
Mrs. Wanyan was already crazy with joy. She was giving rewards to her servants and preparing to welcome the guests. Her feet were filled with wind as she walked.
Seeing the virtue of his family Fujin, Shi Shi couldn't help but smile on his face for some reason.
Okay! Let’s leave it like that. I used to think that I was great, but my wife and children were always worried about what kind of life I was living. Now I see that I am not as good as before, but my wife is happy and my son is happy, so that’s fine.
He went to the study alone and put the imperial edict on the table. He was still a little emotional. To be honest, Lao Si was very particular about his work. With this imperial edict, all the problems he had been thinking about before were gone.
The questions and answers are all in this decree.
At this juncture, he first paid for himself a county king. What is this? He is determined to capture Nian Gengyao. So there is no problem in how to deal with Nian Gengyao, and there is no need to worry at all. The next one is
His old subordinates. Everyone in this world understands the principle of taking things easy. That’s why he doesn’t dare to trust anyone for such a big matter. Even if he is a die-hard subordinate, he has to guard against others having selfish motives. When he is his master
When they can no longer get a future, who will work hard without hesitation? Now, as soon as the title of county king is obtained, it tells the world that the Fourteenth Master has not yet fallen. Even if he has caused a huge disaster, the throne will
The person sitting there is also his own brother. After being punished and scolded, in the end he still gave everything he deserved. Who can do anything to the Fourteenth Master? How dare those under him offend such an old boss?
I thought it was a difficult task, but I didn't expect that the fourth child would be so cooperative. If the rest of the matter couldn't be handled well, he would no longer be the fourteenth master.
"This is for cooperation with the Fourteenth." Lin Yutong said and laughed, "You are too lazy, why don't you choose another one when you have your account banned?" You don't mind the taboo either.
If I remember correctly, in history, although the fourth master made Shi Shi the county king, he did not give him a title at all. The word "Qin" was not a title, but a posthumous title given by Hongli later. As a result, the fourth master was too lazy to choose another one.
, I directly gave him the word Qin.
If we want to say that "diligence" is a good word, besides the word "diligence", isn't there another word called "King of Diligence"?
It seems more appropriate to explain it in the sense of help and assistance.
Fourth Master stretched his neck and said to Lin Yutong: "Just watch and don't let anything happen to Nian during this period. Just be patient and buy some time for Fourteenth..."
Lin Yutong understood immediately. As long as the Nian family was safe in the palace, Nian Gengyao would not think too much about it. When the fourteenth son was about to take action, when the news about Nian family was spread, the hearts of those who followed Nian Gengyao would spread.
You have to weigh it up.
She nodded and said why this man has such a good temper this time. He hasn't said anything about Nian since last night. He is just waiting here.
"When Nian Gengyao is captured and all the generals are sorted out, this battle will still have to be fought." The fourth master rubbed his forehead and suddenly remembered something and asked Lin Yutong, "Your place has been very lively these days, remember
Where’s that list?”
What list?
Lin Yutong didn't understand what he was asking for a moment, "The greeting signs are all kept by the Ministry of Internal Affairs." He found out after checking.
I'm not asking you this.
"That's the list of people who want to go through the back door." Fourth Master stretched out his hand as if he was in a hurry.
You are trying to figure out what is wrong with you.
Lin Yutong turned around and took it out from under the kang table and handed it over, "They are all my children..." I can't ask her for help, and I don't dare to ask for it.
Fourth Master said in his heart that what he wanted was his own child.
As a result, the capital city became lively. In each prince's palace, the adults repeatedly told the young people who wanted to enter the palace, "You must abide by the rules. The palace is not as good as the palace, and the emperor is the most disciplined person. I really want to offend the long live Lord."
If you are not happy, everyone in the palace will have to live with you. Just answer whatever the emperor asks, and don't dare to tell nonsense. We are generous and honest. We don't seek merit, but we seek no faults."
No matter how frightened the adults were, a group of young emperor's nephews, aged between thirteen and twenty, were just announced into the palace.
We are about to enter the palace. Is it okay if there is no one to follow? All of these Ama’s have packed up neatly, so let’s go and have a look. But when we got to the palace gate, these old brothers were all blocked.
"Don't you want to come in?" Master Jiu frowned and shouted. There were three people coming to his family this time. Hong Yu is seventeen, Hong Xun is fourteen this year, and Hong Xiang is thirteen. They are all from Fujin.
Asking for grace, this is definitely not the case for my family. I guess the emperor wants to give him a favor. Anyway, the three older sons have been named. What can I do? Send them over. But these are all running wild in the house.
Yes, I have never been interviewed alone. If I don’t follow the instructions, how can I rest assured?
Turning around, he saw that among these children, Bage was the most worry-free. Hongwang was following the emperor all day long, so there was nothing to worry about. As the ninth uncle, he pulled him down and asked Hongwang, "...take care of it and look back."
Uncle Jiu, thank you."
Hong Zhu was two years older than Hong Wang, so he was a little embarrassed to be called "Ama" by his own Ama, which made him a little unhappy.
Compared with Master Jiu, Master Ten was much more agile. He pushed Hongxuan towards Hongwang and stopped caring.
Master Jiu was about to go over and talk to the brothers who were sending the children off when he saw Su Peisheng coming over and personally took the little ancestors into the palace gate.
The gentlemen didn't go anywhere, so they found a quiet teahouse outside the palace. After clearing the place, the elders went in to do the work.
After sitting down, they all looked at Thirteen. He is a famous person now, so he should know what others don't know.
Shi Sanxin said, I have a lot to do. If you knew why the child was sent to the palace, I wouldn’t even come to see him off.
He shook his head, "I really don't know."
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a lot of blank stares from his brothers.
Thirteen could die from injustice, but he is telling the truth.
"Old Thirteen, my brother won't ask you questions that you shouldn't ask." The third master stroked his beard, leaned forward, and spoke in a low voice, "Then what do you think Long Live Master has been busy with recently?"
Isn’t this something that shouldn’t be asked?
Thirteen coughed lightly and glanced at Master Eight, "Long Live Master is busy with those things. The national treasury is not full..."
Damn it!
This is the only thing these old brothers want to say at this time.
Old Thirteen is getting more and more weird now. Do you need to tell me that the national treasury is not full? Who didn’t come from the Kangxi Dynasty?
Seeing everyone's expressions, Thirteen shrugged, "You asked me and I told you, why don't you blame me if you don't believe me?"
And in the main hall where they were worried at this time, the fourth master said the same thing to dozens of young and energetic faces, "...the national treasury is not rich..."
Hongwang raised his head, "The national treasury is not full, what does this have to do with us? Are you relying on us to collect debts?" Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is not impossible. When the debtors see such a group of young men, even if they are selling iron, they have to get their money quickly.
Returned.
There was a hint of eagerness to try on his face.
Hongli stood at the front, his mind spinning faster than anyone else. The idea of Hongwang also appeared in his mind, but then he shook his head, Huang Ama couldn't do such a dishonorable thing.
Sure enough, I heard the fourth master continue to say: "The national treasury is not full. This is not my biggest headache. What is my biggest headache?" He stood up suddenly, slapped the imperial case, and spit out two words through gritted teeth.
In one word: "Corruption!"
Officials are corrupt and their governance is corrupt. This is a major problem that has been highlighted since the late emperor was in power.
These young boys standing in front of them all came from the Kangxi Dynasty. As the emperor's grandsons, they had such a keen eye and ears that they couldn't possibly not know this.
The emptiness of the treasury is just a symptom, the real cancer of the imperial court is the administration of officials!
Hongli's mind was spinning, why did Huang Ama say this? These people standing here are neither princes nor nobles, nor court officials, they are just a group of dandy boys wandering around the capital. What can they do?
Lin Yutong, who was hiding behind and peeking, smiled. These teenagers seemed unreliable, but they had one advantage that no one else had, and that was their enthusiasm and youthful spirit.
This special anti-corruption team set up by Fourth Master may have unexpected results.
"...For the common people of the world, for the common people, for the country of the Qing Dynasty..." Fourth Master said impassionedly, "You are willing to ask for life for the people, save the people of the world from fire and water, and help the country from danger..."
"I am willing! I am willing! I am willing! I am willing!" The teenagers waved their fists, each one like a savior hero.
