Not long after the year, the day when the eighth master next door will marry Fang Fujin is approaching.

Lin Mohan looked up at the ice and snow outside, her expression was a little sleepy, and she complained, "Although marrying a Fujin is not as grand as marrying a Fujin, it's not like taking a concubine and carrying it in a sedan chair, and it's over. There are also some ostentations that need to be prepared, why are you in such a hurry? This cold weather...can't even wait for Kaichun'er?"

"Don't go when you feel unwell. After all, everyone inside and outside the palace knows that you have had a hard pregnancy. It's just a side Fujin. There's no need to show this face." Yinzhen accompanied Hongxu to play Jiulianhuan Hearing this, he said softly without raising his head: "Suo'etu was dismissed, and now the prince's line is in a panic. At this time, the marriage between Lao Ba and Tong's family will definitely increase. The 'smart people' who live here take refuge in the past."

The loss of Suo'etu's official hat was not related to any particularly important national event, but just because his son destroyed Tong Guowei's grandson... This kind of thing is really big or small, see it all The guy above loves to deal with it, but Kangxi hit Suo'etu with a heavy blow.

The deep meaning revealed in this is really intriguing, the prince is standing behind Suo'etu.

When Kangxi made such a move, he almost made his dissatisfaction with the prince and the conflict with the prince obvious. How could those courtiers who followed the prince not be panicked or apprehensive?

The most common ones in this world are those who are on the fence. Whoever is strong will lean towards him. Seeing that the crown prince is about to suffer, "smart people" must of course find a way out for themselves.

Needless to say, the king of Zhijun has been famous for many years and has countless fans. Although Ba Ye can be regarded as a "rising star", he is also aggressive. It is even more powerful.

Besides, the emperor dealt with Suo'etu so cruelly for the sake of the Tong family, who can say that there was no partiality in it?

"So, to put it bluntly, this wedding is actually just an excuse to open the door to attract fans?" Lin Mohan curled her lips, feeling a little bored.

"Fujin, the beef jerky is ready, do you think it suits your taste?" Lue came in with a plate of fragrant beef jerky, and at a glance she could see that a lot of spicy peppers were used.

Lin Mohan first sniffed it cautiously, and found that he didn't have the desire to vomit, instead, he could not help but salivate when he smelled the strong spicy smell.

Immediately, I was overjoyed, and took a tentative bite... one bite after another...

When Yinzhen saw this situation, he was relieved at first, but when he took a closer look at the scalp-numbing pepper in the beef jerky, he couldn't help showing a toothache expression. I cooked spicy dishes for you, don’t you also don’t like them, why can I eat them now?”

Lin Mohan swallowed the beef jerky in his mouth, rolled his eyes, and said in distaste: "Can that be called spicy? It doesn't have any spicy taste. What's so strong about it? You will know after you try this."

Yinzhen's curiosity arose, so he took a piece and put it in his mouth. After chewing twice, the energy came out. At first, he could bear it a little, but after chewing a few times, he couldn't stand it anymore. Hastily swallowed it whole, so as not to choke himself.

"My tongue is almost burnt off, quickly get me a pot of herbal tea!" Grinning her teeth, she inhaled, tears and snot coming out of her nose.

Is this meat?Obviously eat chili!

It was rare to see him in such a distressed state, Lin Mohan couldn't help laughing and fell on the kang.

Curiosity killed the cat, my God!

Xiao Hongxu on the side retracted his little chubby claws silently, looked at his mother who was enjoying eating, and then at Ama who was crying, his dark eyes were full of confusion.

Is it delicious or not?

After pouring three cups of herbal tea in a row, Yinzhen finally felt a little better. Seeing her delicious bite after bite, the corners of her mouth were twitching, "Last time when I was pregnant with Hongxu, I was desperately eating sour, this time it's good. , addicted to spicy food like life, it is designated as a little Gege who didn't run away."

Although the morning sickness is still severe, there is no need to be a vegetarian every day. It is painful and difficult to repeat the process of eating, vomiting and eating every day, but in order for the child in her stomach to get enough nutrition, Lin Mohan always has to open her belly and hold it in her mouth. Tears eat hard.

It's just that within a few days, an embarrassing thing happened...Because of the excessive spicy food every day, it is a bit...difficult for her to go to the toilet...

Lin Mohan's face turned blue, embarrassing and distressed, but the man next to her kept asking her what's wrong with her face so ugly... only asking her face turned green, and a wave of evil fire rushed up, and her face immediately turned green It fell off, turned around and went into the bedroom.

Yinzhen frowned slightly, and looked at Nanny Xi, "What happened to Fujin?"

Nanny Xi smiled awkwardly, and whispered, "It's just... going to the toilet... no... it's not smooth..."

Killing Yinzhen didn't expect such a result. Immediately, the whole person was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, feeling distressed and funny at the same time.

After thinking about it, he told Su Peisheng softly, "Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask for a prescription from Imperial Doctor Zhang, and avoid some people, your Fujin has a thin skin."

Su Peisheng hung his head, held back a smile, and ran out in a hurry.

Later, facing the bowl of soup and medicine, and the concerned eyes of the servants... Lin Mohan couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment, and secretly twisted the soft flesh of someone's waist, and his teeth were chattering.

This is great, everyone should know that Sifujin is constipated!I'm ashamed to see people!

Yinzhen gasped suddenly, endured the pain and comforted him: "Don't worry, no outsiders will know, the imperial physicians are looking for them quietly."

Can there be an impenetrable wall in the world?

Lin Mohan wanted to cry but had no tears.

Maybe she was too lazy to attend the concubine's wedding, or maybe she was ashamed to see others because of it, anyway, she simply didn't go on the day the eighth master next door married side Fujin, only saying that she was unwell.

As night fell, Baye's Mansion was full of lights, festoons and people, and the carriages in the entire alley were already full, but guests continued to come.

This ostentation is no worse than when she married Eight Fortunes.

No matter how good his temper is, the smile on Bafujin's face at this moment is unavoidable. The smile on that man's face is too dazzling... Even though she knows in her heart, most of this smile is just because this marriage gave him The benefits it brings are not because she really loves Fang Fujin, but she still can't help feeling sad, and she can't help but feel uneasy, for herself and her son's future.

"Fujin." Xue Baochai stepped forward to support her arm, showing concern.

Ba Fujin patted her hand lightly, and whispered: "Today, there are too many people in a mess, Hong Yang and Hong Wang are still young, don't let anyone bump into them, you go and watch."

Xue Baochai nodded, understanding the meaning.

Previously, the entire Tong family was able to watch Li Si'er's evil deeds with cold eyes. It can be seen that the heart is cold-blooded and vicious. Who can guarantee that the Tong family will not use the chaos to attack the two children?These two children, especially Hong Yang, are a stumbling block for the Tong family girl.

Watching Xue Baochai leave, a gentle smile appeared on Fujin's face again, and then went to greet the female relatives who kept coming to the door.

Yinzhen came here alone, and they were all brothers, so there was no need to bother to greet them, so after saying hello, he raised his feet and walked towards Lao Jiu and the others.

"Fourth Master."

Yinzhen paused, then turned to look at the person who came.

A young boy with a handsome and shy appearance, but with a cowardice that made him look very timid.

Yinzhen frowned unobtrusively, obviously he didn't like such a man very much.

"The servant is Yue Xing'a, the eldest son of the third house of the Tong family, please greet the fourth master."

The third room of the Tong family, Longkodo?Isn't the eldest son born to the Hesheli who was tortured into a pig?

Thinking of this, Yin Zhen looked at him with softer eyes, and felt a little pity for the mother and child in his heart.

Yue Xing'a smiled shyly, and said, "I have something to tell Si Ye, is it convenient for Si Ye?"

Hearing this, Yinzhen raised his eyebrows slightly, looked closely, and thought, "There are so many people at the moment that it's inconvenient to talk about things. You can go to the next door when the show ends later."

The Eighth Lord's Mansion was full of noise, as expected, many people who had been attached to the prince also came over and presented generous gifts, the reason for which is self-evident.

At the same time, Suo'etu's home was lonely.

In the study, Suo'etu sat opposite the prince. Under the flickering candlelight, their expressions became more and more gloomy.

"Al Jishan insisted that he was not the one who made the first move. The servant also carefully questioned the people who followed him that day, and they all said that they remembered that the people from Shun Anyan's side spoke provocatively first, and they were the ones who made the first move. " Suo'etu lowered his eyes and said coldly: "Although these dandies are used to misbehaving on weekdays, few of them are real idiots. There is always a share of who can provoke and who can't. Clearly, this time the other side took the initiative to provoke troubles many times, and the servant has every reason to suspect that it was the Tong family's deliberate conspiracy, but he never thought that the situation would get out of control and a direct descendant would be abolished."

"Tong Guowei's descendants are not just a single seedling. Abandoning an insignificant one, but bringing such a big blow to Gu, and taking the opportunity to gather up a lot of scumbags in the past, it is considered a big profit." The prince said with a face full of sarcasm. .

"It's just some villains who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, His Royal Highness doesn't need to care too much." Suo'etu said in a deep voice: "The one who really needs to pay attention and be careful now is the emperor... Your Royal Highness must also understand the emperor's attitude." , if His Highness the Crown Prince is still unable to make up his mind, I am afraid that the power of His Highness the Crown Prince will be completely disintegrated by the Emperor in the near future."

The prince was silent. This incident made him feel resentment towards his Huang Ama for the first time, and also really gave birth to a deep fear.

For a long time, he seemed to be the crown prince with infinite scenery and many fans, but now he realized that everything about him was actually given by Huang Ama. If Huang Ama praised him, he would be the most beautiful prince. Ama's attitude changed slightly, and his followers could not wait to run away all night with their tails between their legs.

With just one attitude, you can live as long as you want him to live, and die as you want him to die. What can be given to him at the beginning can naturally be taken back now.

This is royal power.

The prince gritted his teeth, and said: "Gu has been a prince for so many years, and I have never had the heart of disobedience, just doing what a prince should do. Why can't Huang Ama tolerate Gu? Has he never I have thought about what will happen in the future if I am alone as the son of the empress of the Yuan Dynasty and the prince of the Qing Dynasty if I fail to succeed to the throne? No matter which brother climbs up, the one waiting for the orphan is either a dead end or a lifelong prison in a bullet. Earth! Why on earth did Huang Ama treat Gu like this?"

By the end of the words, he was already a little choked up.

He really couldn't figure it out, how could Huang Ama, who loved him so much, have the heart to force him to a dead end?Maybe it's very rebellious to think like this, but at this moment, he really resented Huang Ama.

Suo'etu sighed, and said almost ruthlessly: "For an emperor, nothing is more important than imperial power. His Royal Highness, let me listen to the slave's persuasion. Since the emperor has put aside the relationship between father and son, His Royal Highness is also true. You shouldn't be indecisive anymore, the servant warned you last time, it's time to make a good plan for yourself."

"His Royal Highness is the crown prince of the country. After so many years, he has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At least among the people, His Royal Highness's position is quite detached and stable. There are also those Hanchens and scholars who are also loyal supporters of the orthodox Zhonggong Dizi... Your Majesty Even if you want to move you, you will never dare to act rashly in a short period of time, otherwise it will definitely cause the country to shake, and the external troubles will add internal troubles, which will definitely shake the foundation of the country. Therefore, the emperor will never act rashly. It is slowly eroding and disintegrating the influence of His Highness the Crown Prince, bit by bit eroding the prestige of His Highness among the people."

"If His Royal Highness wants to survive against the wind, the only chance is to seize this period of time and give it a go. If His Royal Highness is still passively beaten, there must be a dead end. Why don't you simply show your fangs and truly use your status as a prince?" .”

This proposal is very dangerous. No emperor can tolerate a restless prince, but the key point is that the prince is no longer tolerated by the emperor when he is still in peace. of?Obedience honestly is also death, and if you give it a go, you may be able to fight for a way out.

The prince was silent for a long time, but finally he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Tell the story of Gu's situation, Shandong, Jiangnan..."

Shandong is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, and the birthplace of Confucian culture. There are several famous families with a long history and an important role in the literary world, such as the Confucius family and the Cui family. There are many literati in the south of the Yangtze River. They know the current situation of the prince, and if someone is willing to guide them, there will definitely be troubles.

These literati may not be able to restrain the chickens, but they must not be underestimated if they really want to make trouble. Even if it is to appease the literati in this world, Huang Ama will never touch him easily again. Having a chance to breathe is not a deterrent to those court officials, so that they know that the crown prince is the orthodox people want after all, whether it is the king of Zhijun or the "eight sage kings", but they are all It's just a disobedient person with evil intentions.

Suo'etu nodded in satisfaction and agreed, and then asked: "How is the fourth master?"

The prince frowned slightly and shook his head, "Always indifferent, no matter if you are alone or the boss, no matter how we try to win over him, he will always act in an attitude of remaining unchanged and responding to all changes, as if he really only wants to follow the emperor wholeheartedly." Ma's footsteps are very difficult to chew... To be honest, Gu has not yet been able to determine whether he did it on purpose or not."

It may be said that the fourth child has no intentions, but he has never been partial to anyone, which makes people suspicious, but it may be said that he has intentions, but he has always been unselfish and never formed cliques, only doing his own thing, Huang Ama did not order He never stretched out his hand an inch more, and the most important thing is that the fourth child is still only Di Fujin, with an infatuated appearance.

First, "infatuation" is obviously not an "advantage" that a qualified successor should have. Unless it is absolutely necessary, which superior would consider such a son?Second, the prince's concubine Fujin, Fujin, and even Gege are important ways to expand his own power, and those who are bound together through marriage are obviously stronger. If the fourth child really has ideas, how can he give up this way? ?

Suo'etu was also a little confused, hesitatingly said: "According to the current posture shown by Fourth Master, it seems that he really has no idea..." After pondering for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, "I remember Sifu Jin There is a younger brother in my natal family who was selected as a scholar last year. He is about 16 or [-] years old and will not be more than [-] years old at the most. Thinking about it, he has never discussed marriage..."

The prince was stunned, "You mean you want to marry the Lin family?"

Suo'etu nodded, "Although there is no suitable girl in the servant's family, the Hesheli family is thriving and can always find a suitable candidate."

"The attitude of the fourth brother is clear that he doesn't want to get involved in these matters. Lin Ruhai is also a cunning and cunning person. In all likelihood, he will not agree to this matter."

"In any case, you have to try to know." Suo'etu sighed: "His Royal Highness is in a dangerous situation now. If there are more helpers here, there is nothing to lose if you try."

The prince nodded and didn't object anymore, but he didn't give any hope in his heart.

The next day, under the cover of night, Suo'etu went to the door of Lin's house in person.

After hearing his cryptic proposal, Lin Ruhai shook his head without even thinking, "Lang'er is still young, and he is currently concentrating on his studies and preparing to take the provincial examination. After the provincial examination, there will be an examination... Marriage is not considered for the time being." Now, it won't be too late for him to marry a wife and have children when he is in high school, so as not to be delayed by these things."

Suo'etu didn't know that this was just an excuse to resign. Although he was a little displeased, he also knew that this was not the time to make enemies for the prince, so he had to give up with a smile and leave happily.

Lin Mohan knew that Fourth Master had told her about this, so she was stunned for a moment, "How old is Lang'er?"

"Fifteen or sixteen, right?" Fourth Master was not sure, and said with a smile: "You are so stupid for being pregnant again, and Lang'er is about the age where it is time to discuss marriage."

"Why are you in a hurry?" Lin Mohan shook her head and said, "I'm still young. Although my father's words are an excuse, it's also true. It's not too late to start a business before starting a family. At this age, I haven't grown up yet. Well, don't rush."

There is really no way for girls. In this era, if you don’t get married after the age of sixteen or seventeen, you are really an old girl. People will poke your spine, and even make people mistakenly think that there is something wrong. But boys are different. It's not too late after that. A 20-year-old who is well-born and educated is also a young talent. There are many people who want it.

"Suo'etu actually has such an idea, is he trying to win over the Lin family and the master to board the prince's boat together?"

Yinzhen smiled lightly and said, "His Royal Highness is in a hurry, the situation is really worrying."

Lao Ba and the Tong family were completely tied together, and together with King Zhijun, they targeted the prince everywhere. The prince was alone and had no brothers to help him. Suo Etu was dismissed from his post, and even the emperor above him was almost on his side. His opposite is simply besieged on all sides, how can he not be in a hurry?I'm afraid there will be other big moves in the future.

Obviously, fourth master's guess came true.

After the marriage between the Eighth Master and the Tong family, it was very prosperous for a while, but soon, the literati in Shandong and the south of the Yangtze River started to make troubles, and they just wanted to point at the noses of the Eighth Master and the Zhijun King and call them rebellious ministers and thieves. He kept begging the emperor not to be fooled by villains, and even made a blood book written by thousands of people, only saying that the prince is orthodox.

Not to mention Zhijun Wang and Baye, even Kangxi was overwhelmed by the sudden literati turmoil, especially the horrific book written in the blood of thousands of people, it was like taking his life to force him, the emperor !

Kangxi knew very well that this was the work of the prince's party, so he gritted his teeth in anger, but the emotions of the servants had been provoked, and it was not suitable to be tough at all, so he could only choose to comfort him with good words for the time being.

There is really no way around this. Although the Manchus have entered the customs for many years, the total population is pitifully small compared to the Han people. In order to win the hearts of these Han people, it can be said that Kangxi has been doing his best since he became the throne. Otherwise, when he What is the purpose of repeated southern tours?He even went to the imperial tomb of the Ming Dynasty to worship, why?It's just to win over those literati in the south of the Yangtze River.

The prince clearly knows his weakness, the fear in his heart, and the fact that he dare not be tough on literati, but these literati are often the easiest to be incited!

"After such a move, the prince can take a breather for a while, and even the king of Zhijun and Lao Ba can only calm down and keep a low profile for the time being, otherwise the pen of the literati will not show mercy, I am afraid that they will be nailed to shame as rebellious officials and thieves. It's on the pillar." The fourth master shook his head and sighed: "It's just that, obviously, the prince and Huang Ama have officially declared war."
