After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

The prince's untimely death caused great shock in the entire court.

First, because of the pain of losing his son, the saint suddenly changed his benevolent image in the past, and all the members of the three princes' party and the nine princes' party were swept away.Anyone who breaks the law or discipline will be ordered to investigate strictly.

Among them, Shi Nai's immediate boss and the right servant at the same level both suffered disasters. Shi Nai had been the left servant for only a year, but by chance, he was able to take the position of servant and replace the post of minister.

It is said to be a generation, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that the reason why the sage did not directly transfer an old minister with sufficient qualifications to the head of the household department is to reserve the position of Shangshu for Shi Nai, and only wait for him to do a few more practical things. The word "dai" was removed, and he was really made to be the Minister of the household department.

Not only Shi Nai, but Jia Jing also got the honor, and was transferred from Honglu Temple to the Ministry of Officials, filling the vacancy of Zuo Shilang.

There is also Xu Deng, the eldest son of Jingsuihou. After the report, although the sage left him in the capital, he kept him hanging and did not arrange a position for him. This time he was also placed in Dali Temple. He was still a third-rank official. Minister of Dali Temple.

All of a sudden, the crown prince ascended to heaven with a party of chickens and dogs, which was completely different from the miserable misery of the previous few years.

The Ninth Prince was frothing anxiously, but he didn't dare to contact the surviving people blatantly.He can be regarded as experiencing the feeling of the prince being suppressed by the saint a few years ago.

However, the crown prince was able to hold on, forcing the sage to secretly prepare armaments just in case.The Ninth Prince didn't have the Prince's determination, nor the Prince's ability, so he could only worry about it by himself.

Relatively speaking, the third prince is much more peaceful.Even if they met Tongji from the past in the court on weekdays, there would no longer be any eyebrow-eye lawsuits or deep meaning in the words.

Occasionally, when he met his great-grandson Tuzun in Qianqing Palace, he would talk to his nephew gently, and sometimes he would mention something.

Judging by his current behavior, he really doesn't intend to fight anymore.

The Seventh Prince managed to take advantage of the Prince's funeral to lift the ban. Originally, he thought that the Prince was finally dead. How could a grandson be a match for his third brother?In the future, when the third brother gains power, he will definitely make Shi Nai look good.

But he waited and waited, first the sage cleaned up the court, and then his third brother seemed to have seen through the world of mortals.

The seventh prince finally couldn't bear it any longer, and smelled the third prince's head directly, "Third brother, what happened to you recently? Do you know that many of us are very disappointed with your inaction."

At that time, the third prince was fishing in his own pond. Seeing that the fish had bitten the hook, he was startled away by the sudden sound of the seventh prince.

"Hush!" The third prince raised his index finger to instruct him to silence, his face was full of dissatisfaction for running away from the fish, "You scared all my fish away."

"Oh, third brother!" The seventh prince stomped his feet anxiously, "What time is it, you still care about that fish."

The third prince glanced at him, slowly gathered the fishing line, re-baited, and said: "When? Good time." He threw the fishing line into the water, "I know now, the past 30 years , all the work is in vain. Who are you working hard for?!"

It's not that he doesn't know why the saint suddenly promoted him, and he is not a fool.

However, as a son who was intentionally or unintentionally ignored by the sage because he was close to the prince's age, and was often used as a foil to the prince, he was suddenly valued by his father. swallow.

For this piece of poisonous candy, he ignored the reminders, teachings and even pleadings of his mother and concubine time and time again.

He always thought: What if?What if the father really saw me?

A few years ago, when the sage slowly took precautions against the prince, the third prince was excited.However, this excitement was mixed with confusion and disappointment that he himself did not know.

eNow, the prince passed away suddenly.Looking back, the third prince suddenly realized: So, at that time, he had already realized that the sage would abandon the prince who had been trusted and cherished for many years, just because the prince might threaten the stability of his power.

Then what is his son who has not been valued much?If he really pulls down the prince, can he really get what he wants?

No, if the prince is really abandoned, is it really the result of his hard work?

I'm afraid it's just because the sage wants to abolish the prince.

You see, how ridiculous?

He has been jealous of the prince since he was a child, but in fact, what is there for the prince to be jealous of?To be honest, the prince should be jealous of him.

At least, he still has his mother and concubine who treat him wholeheartedly and unconditionally only wish him well.

But what about the prince?

The prince is loved by a saint?

Ha, the saint's love is conditional and precondition.

First of all, you can't be mediocre, you can't be inferior to other princes.

Otherwise, the sage will be disappointed, thinking that your aptitude is not worth his efforts to cultivate;

However, you can't shine either.

Otherwise, the sage will be jealous, thinking that you have such aptitude, and the officials will support you even more, hindering some of his decisions.

Not left, not right; not this, not that.

Thinking about it now, even the third prince, who was once a deadly enemy, couldn't help but sympathize with the prince.

Because of being the crown prince, it is too difficult for the prince!

That's all, that's all.Since the sage intends to suppress other parties and support the grandson, he simply retreats with the current and becomes a wealthy idler.

He thinks, like the old twelve, it's good to only worry about eating, drinking and having fun every day!

The seventh prince is completely unaware of the thoughts of the third prince.

In other words, he was faintly aware of it, but he didn't want to believe it.

"Third brother, you won't just admit defeat like this, will you?" The seventh prince resorted to aggressive tactics, "Now that the crown prince is gone, are you still afraid that that brat will fail?"

In view of past affection, the third prince ordered a few words from the seventh prince: "Lao Qi, what do you think the prince is? Our deadly enemy?"

"Is not it?"

The third prince said: "That is our amulet!"

"Huh?" The Seventh Prince was puzzled, "Third Brother, you must have drunk too much, right?"

The third prince shook his head, with a look of "no child can't be taught", and further explained: "Because of the presence of the prince, the sage will tolerate us step by step. Without the prince, our good days will come to an end." son."

At this time the fishing line moved, the third prince waited for a while, and hurriedly reeled in the line, but saw that the hook was empty, not only did not adjust the fish, but broke the bait.

He gave a regretful "tsk", feeling that today's luck is really bad.While filling in the bait again, he said to the Seventh Prince: "If you want to live a good life in the future, you can live in peace and contentment from now on, you can cultivate any hobby, and put away all thoughts of fighting for power and profit."

The Seventh Prince curled his lips, "It hasn't happened yet, the third brother was scared out of his wits."

The third prince didn't care about what he said, and he still persuaded him: "I'm kind enough to persuade you, but it's up to you whether you listen or not. Anyway, I don't have the desire to argue anymore."

"Third Brother!"

"Sigh~ the crown prince is gone, so there's no point in fighting any more."

——In this world, besides the prince, who else is worthy to be his opponent?

"Third Brother!"

"Okay, old seven, you can go back. If you still want to do these common things in the future, don't bother me again."

"Third Brother!"

"Let's go, let's go, you scare away my two fishes."

The third prince waved his hand impatiently, his gesture was like chasing flies away.Then he concentrated on casting the line again.It seems that the big things that the Seventh Prince said are not as good as the fish on his hook.

Seeing that he was so reticent, the seventh prince was annoyed, and left a sentence, "When someone else puts the knife on the third brother's neck, and the third brother regrets it, it will be too late!" He walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

After the Seventh Prince had left, the Third Prince suddenly laughed, with a look of melancholy on his face.

At this time, there were suddenly the sounds of children playing, and a woman coaxing softly, trying to coax the children away.

"No, I'm going to play there."

"Good boy, where is the prince, why don't we go over there?" This is obviously a nanny.

"I don't, I don't!"

The nanny was obviously hopeless, and was anxious to scare the child: "If you disturb the prince, the princess will be angry."

The child didn't speak for a while, and after a while he asked eagerly: "Will mother really be angry?"

The third prince replaces.Unable to listen any longer, he raised his voice and asked, "Who is there?"

There was a sudden silence over there, obviously both adults and children were frightened.

The third prince said again: "Who is there? Come here."

After a while, I saw a woman in her thirties turning around from the rockery with a three or four-year-old child in her arms, and greeted him timidly: "Slave Liu, I pay my respects to the lord."

The child looked up at the nurse, then turned to look at the third prince, struggling to get down.

Surprised, Mrs. Liu hurriedly supported the child's chubby little buttocks, and muttered: "Brother, slow down."

"Put me down!"

"Brother, slow down." Liu's face was full of anxiety, for fear that the child would offend the Third Prince.

The third prince smiled wryly, and said to Liu Shi: "Put Bin'er down."

It turned out that this child was none other than Tu Bin, the legitimate son of the Third Prince and Third Princess Ma Shi.

Mrs. Ma was the third prince's impulsive plan to snatch him from him.Originally, Madam Ma was supposed to enter the East Palace as a side concubine, but later became his concubine.

At that time, his brain was hot, thinking of stealing the prince's things.

However, after he really snatched it back, he found that he was not happy about it, but rather ashamed.

Therefore, he was always ashamed to see Mrs. Ma, and the relationship between the husband and wife was not good.

At the beginning, Mrs. Ma hoped that he would change his mind, but after having a son, he put all his thoughts on his son.As for the third prince, she let it go.

The third prince didn't often go to the Ma family's main courtyard, so naturally he couldn't even talk about being close to his only legitimate son.It's no wonder that Mrs. Liu was so trembling, as if she was afraid that Tu Bin would offend the Third Prince.

After getting what the third prince said, the child immediately became proud, "Put me down quickly!"

Although his tone was bad, he didn't kick Liu Shi.In the eyes of the third prince, compared to the few side concubines who were used to lawlessness, Tu Bin is already very good.

Liu didn't dare to do anything wrong, so she had to carefully put Tu Bin on the ground.

As soon as Tu Bin's feet touched the ground, he ran up to the third prince, raised his head and asked, "Father, what are you doing?"

A child of this age is lawless, and when people hate dogs, he doesn't know what it means to be afraid.

Looking at the little face that was six to seven points similar to his own, the third prince couldn't help feeling a little tender, reached out and touched his son's head, and said softly: "I'm fishing."
