The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

Seeing his father like this, Shang Chi knew that the two of them still had something to say, so he saluted and withdrew.

Shang Duo continued to say to Lin Ruhai: "It's fine if you are willing to help the eldest son of the Jia family, but you must also pay attention to his character, and don't be Mr. Dongguo again—the matter of Jia Yucun is still in sight."

Now Jia Yucun's official position is rising steadily, and he has been conferred the chief minister from Yingtian magistrate, and he is an assistant military counselor to the government.

Among the humble officials, his promotion speed is simply appalling.

Lin Ruhai felt contemptuous and disgusted when he thought of Jia Yucun's behavior, and felt that his ears were dirty even when he heard it.

After Jia Yucun came to Beijing, it wasn't that he didn't go through the door of Lin's house to express his attachment, but Lin Ruhai just ignored it.

Jia Yucun harbored hatred in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. Hearing that Lin Ruhai had fallen out with the Yue family, he simply abandoned the Lin family and made friends with the four major families.

Shang Duo casually flipped through the official documents of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and said, "Jia Yucun is now like a brother of Jia Cunzhou in Rongguo Mansion. Every day, I can't wait to pack up and live in Rongguo Mansion."

"He ran back and forth to visit relatives. He was busier than the serious men of Jia's family. If you don't know, you think he is Concubine Xiande's real father."

"It's also hard for him not to delay both public and private matters, and he never forgets to look at the saint's face when he speaks. He doesn't talk about right and wrong."

Lin Ruhai sighed: "Such an eagle sees a wolf and only bullies a person who flatters him, yet the Holy One still wants to use him."

Shang Duo smiled and said: "That's because the Holy One loves me so much. Do you see that there are fewer people scolding me behind my back now? Anyway, I'm watching from above, and Jia Yucun can't do anything that will harm the country and the people—at most, it will be a disaster." Rongguo Mansion."

After the two chatted for a few more words, Shang Duo went to the emperor to answer.

Lin Ruhai nodded, and couldn't help telling: "The Longevity Day is approaching, and the Holy One is not in a good mood. It's because you have a different relationship with the Holy One, so you should be careful when you answer."

Companion to a king is like companion to a tiger, Lin Ruhai has always felt that Shang Duo's prelude to the imperial court is too casual.

Feel free to go to the emperor to care about it, and if you really want to convict, it is not a loss.

Shang Duo knew it was his kindness, so he agreed.

But he knew in his heart that if he respected and feared the emperor like others, the emperor would be disappointed.The heights are extremely cold, and the emperor is not a golden statue, but a mortal body, so how can he not be lonely.

Therefore, his caution is in his heart, and he knows what to say and what not to say.On the surface, he is always relaxed and casual, and often jokes with the emperor, which can be regarded as making the emperor happy.

Shang Duo entered the palace all the way from the Xihua Gate of the household department, because there are still a few days before the Longevity Festival, the palace has already been laid out, and everything is in order.

It's really the courtyard burning empty, incense dust covering the ground, fire trees and flowers, golden windows and jade sills, everywhere is the royal and peaceful atmosphere, rich and romantic.

As Lin Ruhai said, the emperor was not in high spirits, and his face was gloomy.Shang Duo, who came to the emperor to report the tributes from the governors of various provinces, knew very well what the emperor was unhappy about.

However, he just didn't know what to do, and even started to recite the gift list at a leisurely pace.

After a while, the emperor couldn't help but interrupt: "Uncle, why don't you ask me why I am unhappy?"

Shang Duo said with a smile: "Is the emperor in a bad mood? I didn't see it - these bottles and jars are still intact, which shows that the emperor is not in a bad mood."

The emperor stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back: "You are the only one who can tell me the truth. No better than the outside world, everyone is very respectful to me, and they must be saying in their hearts that I am a puppet emperor. Even the 40-year-old All birthday banquets have to suppress the specifications, and must not be in the same place as the old rules of the emperors of all dynasties."

With the emperor still alive, the emperor's fortieth birthday is a bit embarrassing. It's not easy to go past his own father, so he has to be inferior, and in the end he becomes half emperor and half prince.

The most bitter thing is that the emperor has to take the initiative to propose that he dare not stand shoulder to shoulder with the emperor's [-]th birthday, so he asks to be downgraded.

The Ministry of Rites finally breathed a sigh of relief, not having to be caught between two big Buddhas.

The Ministry of Rites was relieved, but the emperor himself was in great pain: this nonsense, in his opinion, was like a slap on his dragon's face, making the world laugh at him.

Shang Duo understood the emperor's mood very well: the emperor made such a big fuss before, and sent the emperor to Tongshan for a trip, which gave the old minister's family enough dignity.

I just wanted to make the Supreme Emperor happy, to be able to take the initiative to speak, and to allow his Longevity Festival to be held in accordance with the old rules of the emperors of all dynasties, so as to be glorious and dignified.

Who knew that the Taishanghuang seemed to be suffering from Alzheimer's in this matter, and he would not open his mouth when he was beaten to death.

In the end, the emperor took the initiative to bow his head and asked himself to be degraded. The Supreme Emperor agreed without even being polite.

The emperor's mood was like drinking ice water in those three or nine days, and he almost didn't die of chills on the spot.

The overlord's arbitrariness has become more and more powerful.

If it is said that the previous court situation was just a mess, with canine teeth intertwined.Now it is simply a situation where the mountains are about to come and the wind is full.

Shang Duo could understand the emperor's distress very well, put down the gift list in his hand, and said softly: "I have already said a lot of words of comfort, today I will stop persuading you, let the Holy Majesty have a blast." He handed it to him. A bucket-colored squirrel-pattern gourd bottle.

"Today, I don't pick the cheap ones, so I ask the emperor to pick the expensive ones."

After all, the emperor's study room is still like a whole iron bucket, even if he smashes it to pieces, it will not reach the emperor's ears.

People always need a way to vent, otherwise they will break out in silence, or become abnormal in silence.

The emperor took the gourd bottle with a gloomy expression: "What's the use of venting my anger on these dead things." Of course he said no, but his body was still very honest, and smashed the poor gourd bottle on the spot.

Hearing this crisp voice, he really felt a little better.

A smile finally appeared on the emperor's face: "People say that my nephew looks like my uncle, so there is a reason for my bad temper. I don't know if my uncle is annoyed, besides visiting the house to make trouble, what other ways can I resolve it?"

Shang Duo's heart moved, this might be a good opportunity to cheat the second prince.

However, his face was just relaxed and happy, and he thought for a while and said: "There are many things in the court, especially the Chunwei and palace examinations a while ago, but the first subject of the Holy Majesty's enthronement, I naturally dare not be sloppy at all."

After praising himself, Bao Ninghou began to get down to business.

"The paperwork is exhausting, and it is inevitable to be irritable and tired. Fortunately, there are children who are considerate: Chi'er is also busy with a lot of things, but he still does not forget to teach and care for his younger siblings on weekdays, which saves his heart a lot. And Chun Er Jier also often comes to the study to persuade the ministers to rest."

"Speaking of filial piety, Chanchan is a weird child. Once I took her fat cat with big ears and told me to pet it, saying that the only way to relieve my worries was to touch the cat. As a result, the cat ran away. He went out and overturned the minister's pen holder."

"Another time, when the minister was angry at home, she actually took the fan box and asked him to tear it up to calm down. She only said that a thousand dollars is hard to buy a smile, and today she donated her fan, tearing the fan in exchange for Baoninghou's smile."

Shang Duo didn't know this, Shang Chanchan directly used Jia Baoyu's patent to coax Qingwen to coax herself, and recommended to the emperor here: "But tearing the fan can really extinguish the fire, it's the same as the emperor smashing the vase, the emperor will also do it next time." You can change the pattern, so as not to be boring just smashing things."

What he said was easy and humorous, and these people were all familiar relatives, the corner of the emperor's mouth could not help but smile, and his eyebrows stretched.

Seeing this, Shang Duo thought to himself: Okay, the foreshadowing is over, and the main text can begin.

So he said with a smile: "I only have three sons and one daughter, and they all feel relieved. The emperor's sons, all of whom are pure filial piety, can relieve their worries."

"The eldest prince is the eldest son, and he always loves his younger brothers. Last time he was in Tongshan, the fourth prince was weak and unable to support himself. I heard that the eldest prince sent people to deliver medicines many times, which was very appropriate. And the other highnesses also visited many times. It can be seen that brother Youdi Gong, you are very harmonious."

This is simply talking nonsense with your eyes open.The wrists of the several princes who tapped the sap behind their backs were almost used, what kind of brothers and friends are they talking about.

The emperor was still smiling at first, but then his face became pale: "Jin'er is naturally like an elder brother, and the younger ones are also well-behaved and worry-free."

"Only Cheng'er, I loved him so much in the past, but now he is only courting and being obedient in front of his father. You know that the day before yesterday, when my father took medicine, Cheng'er tasted it himself before offering it to my father. Heh, he is right. I didn't think so at all."

Shang Duo's spirit was shaken: Here it comes, the time to apply the eye medicine has finally come.

He didn't aimlessly and talk nonsense.It was after listening to the Empress Dowager Shang that the second prince tasted the medicine himself, she specifically mentioned the matter of her children.

Just to see the emperor's attitude towards the second prince's move.

Unsurprisingly, the emperor was not pleased.

Shang Duo raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't speak ill of the second prince directly, but said with a smile: "When the Holy Majesty was still in the palace, it was easy for ministers to come and go, but there were a few princes."

"I remember that the emperor loved the Second Highness the most at that time, and often held his hands on his lap to teach him how to read. On the contrary, the First Highness, although he is the eldest son, the Emperor is just like a strict father, and even because of a typo, The eldest prince who was only seven or eight years old was punished for copying books all night. Even the minister felt distressed when he saw it."

Thinking of the past, the emperor couldn't help feeling that Xiao Cheng was chilling: all these years, despite his mother's humble background, he loved him so much, but now he bowed his head and ears in front of the Supreme Emperor every day, and tasted the medicine himself!

In fact, in ordinary families, it is right for the grandson to respect his grandfather.

However, the royal family has never been a normal family, the emperor and the supreme emperor are completely divorced, in his opinion, Xiao Cheng's son is simply a traitor and has betrayed himself.

Enemies are not the most hated, traitors are the most hated.

The emperor only felt that the fatherly feelings of the past ten years had been fed to the white-eyed wolf.

So he gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle remembers how well I treated him in the past, but he completely forgot, it's simply unfilial!"

Shang Duo didn't continue to add insult to injury, but started to speak for the second prince: "The Second Highness is not really unfilial. Your Majesty, don't blame the minister for speaking straight, the second prince, he is really not very clever."

"He may not be planning to choose a high branch and flatter the old sage. It is probably because he was confused for a while, thinking that he lost his favor with you, so he went to please his grandfather."

Shang Duo had a quarrel with the second prince in the past, so he didn't deliberately say good things about the second prince, otherwise it would be too fake to be inconsistent with others.

Marquis Baoning has always followed the route of happiness, kindness and hatred.

That's why the emperor likes talking to him so much that he doesn't feel tired at all.

These words are very appropriate now. The emperor heard too many praises for the prince's dragon, horse and phoenix, and suddenly heard Shang Duo bluntly stated the second prince's personality, so he nodded: "Yes. Although Cheng'er has an irritable temper, I'm a bit dull, but I shouldn't be unfilial, or even betray me."

Shang Duo agreed with a smile.

Today's not adding insult to injury is to add insult to injury tomorrow better.

He is well aware of the emperor's temper, and these things are at best a source of suspicion, but it will not make the emperor completely cut off his hope in the second prince.

So today Shang Duo moved him with the affection of father and son, apparently trying to save the second prince, but in fact, he planted a bigger hidden danger.

At this time, the emperor already felt that he had forgiven the second prince once, if he found out that this son misbehaved in the future, he would be mixed with disappointment and couldn't bear it any longer.

And Shang Chanchan was also speechless after hearing the story of the second prince tasting the medicine himself.

It's not that their family wanted to dig a hole for the second prince to jump in, but that the eldest brother dug his own grave with his own hands and enjoyed himself so much!

This is like in the workplace, if you are a small employee, it’s fine if you don’t please your immediate superior, but you still jump around to please your biggest boss.

If it is said that leapfrog reporting in the workplace is a taboo, then leapfrogging and hugging thighs is the taboo of the taboos.

What's more, when the two bosses are fighting with gods, this kind of person who hugs his thighs is not cannon fodder who is cannon fodder!

The second prince himself is a big bag, and Shang Duo carefully set up the fuse for him, just waiting for a little flame to ignite it and blow it up completely.

Shang Chanchan didn't wait too long for this flame.
