Lao Jiu's eyes were resolute and resolute, Lao Shi was stunned but nodded quickly, the two younger brothers completely trusted, so that the eighth master showed a look of relief on his face, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to wrap around the shoulders of the two younger brothers: "Regardless of success or failure, Yinxi can get your heart to treat, and this life is not a failure." ”

The three brothers, who sat down again, resumed their deliberations.

"The old fourteen want to fight, let him fight, presumably the emperor is happy to have another sharp and obedient knife, let's stand behind the fourteen for the time being, we can give him ideas, but easily don't make another move, in the end the emperor's favor will bring him anything, let him taste it himself." Some of the people that Fourteen know, let's give them all to him......"

Raising his hand to stop Lao Jiu's unwillingness to speak, the eighth master said: "What Lao Fourteen knows, the emperor must also know, if we want to no longer become the target of the emperor's key attack, these forces on the surface must get rid of it, don't worry, we are all still young and can afford to wait." ”

Lao Jiu's eyes flashed, that's right, they are young, they can afford it, the emperor is already sixty-two, from ancient times to the present, there are few emperors who have lived to such an age, and the time they need to wait will not be too long.

Looking at the sneer on the faces of the two elder brothers, listening to the starling's unsubtle sentence of "I can afford to wait", the old ten, who was willing to follow Lao Jiu no matter what he did since he was a child, felt cold all over his body, like immersing himself in an ice cellar, he lowered his head and asked himself for the first time: Is it really right for Starling and Ninth Brother to do this?

Treating Huang Ama as an enemy, as an opponent? Just thinking about it, he felt terrified and panicked, not because of the strength of the imperial father, but because of ...... It was the emperor Amma, the father who gave them life and honor, who blessed them as they grew up, found a master to teach them literature and martial arts, and thought of taking them with him when he went out.

But now, they want to treat their biological father as an enemy - he can't be as decisive as the starling and ninth brothers, and he really can't be as calm and light as them.

Lao Shi's fists clenched: he can't do it if he is an enemy of the imperial father.

"Old ten, what's wrong with you?"

Lao Jiu looked at Lao Shi who was sitting with his head down suspiciously, this kid is quiet for less than three minutes on weekdays, but he hasn't spoken at this time, is he afraid?

The eighth master's pupils shrank, and he also turned his head to look at the old ten, who had always been the most clueless among the three, and asked him with a smile: "But you can't turn around?"

Lao Shi raised his head, looked at the two brothers, and looked confused: "Huang Ama has health pills, Liu Shengfang and Zhang Rui said that taking health pills for a long time can prolong life." ”

The eyes of the eighth and the ninth touched each other, and their eyes flashed at the same time.

Looking at the expressions of the two brothers, Lao Shi couldn't wait to give himself a few slaps.

In a hurry, a flash of inspiration: "At that time, the old fourteen will have completely grown up." ”

The eighth and ninth turned their heads at the same time, looked at the old ten who was completely bored and didn't recognize what they said, and laughed out loud.

"Sure enough, stupid people have stupid blessings, in a word. ”

"The tenth brother is the most blessed of the three of us. ”

Looking at the two brothers who were smiling meaningfully, the tenth master was really stunned: "What are you talking about?"

"Just your brain, let's be your stupid prince in peace. Lao Jiu's ridicule is still the same as any time before, disgusted, but full of intimacy and protection.

"That's right. The eighth master nodded with a smile: "The tenth brother only cares about your comfortable life, and I will bear everything with your ninth brother." ”

The eighth master's eyes were relieved, the tenth brother was honest and affectionate, and he would only be sad if he knew some things, and in the future, don't let him participate in the matter of Huang Ama again.

With the passage of time, in the court, the eighth prince, the ninth prince, and the tenth prince slowly fell silent, and the fourteenth prince suddenly rose up, and he was very active in the court.

The emperor who was high on the throne also seemed to suddenly find that this son had grown up, although he was young but energetic, and he seemed to have the ability to be no less than his brothers, so the emperor's favor fell more and more on the fourteenth prince.

Looking at the emperor's actions, the minds of the ministers of the court and the central government began to come alive again, or, the emperor's favorite successor is the fourteenth prince?

In Prince Yong's Mansion, the fourth master negotiated with the staff in the study room for a month, and finally let everyone take leave and returned to the East Courtyard.

picked up Ru Hui horizontally and threw it a few times, the fourth master looked down at Ru Hui with a confused face, and the expression on his face was meaningful: "Ah Hui, let's go to the Old Summer Palace to farm." ”

The Old Summer Palace is very large, and the fourth master chose to open a few acres of land near the water in the lake area, and then, like all the people in the empire, moved with the farming time and planted crops in season.

He wears a short woolen brown coat, straw sandals, cloth socks, washes his face with cold water, and carries a hoe; he works every day at sunrise and rests at sunset, calling his wife to lead the cow, calling his children to glean, plowing and planting, fertilizing and catching insects, and he is very busy.

Prince Yong's actions, naturally, did not hide from the people in Beijing, the emperor heard about it, came to be interested, and went to Weifu.

In Beijing in August, it was the hottest time, and the emperor sat on his shoulders until he was almost close to the ground, then he asked people to stop, take Hongyao and a few close attendants, and slowly walked towards the cornfield that was as neat as a soldier and as green as jasper.

The fourth master was wearing a small hat, and was bending down to weed the rows of corn; Ru Hui, who was wrapped in a headscarf and dressed as a peasant woman, was separated from the line of corn by the fourth master, doing the same work as him.

"Prince Yong?" a sixteen or seventeen-year-old chamberlain was sweating profusely, and it was easy to find Prince Yong dressed as a peasant in the field in the row of corn taller than him, "Lord, the emperor is here, summoning you to see you." ”

"The emperor is here?" The fourth master straightened his waist, patted the mud on his hands, and beat his sore waist with his fists, and beckoned Ru Hui, who heard the sound: "Ama is here, you take Hongyang to see the master." ”

Filled the pulled weeds with a back, and the fourth master and Ru Hui, who had been pressed repeatedly, each carried a back, and led Hongyang, who was also carrying a small back of weeds, and the three of them lined up and walked out of the cornfield.

Xiao Neizhi, who wanted to help but was refused, was terrified and awe-inspired, tiptoed behind a few masters, thinking about going out for a while, and he was only afraid of being punished by Gonggong Li empty-handed.

"If your father-in-law is not afraid of dirty clothes. Prince Yong's side Fujin, who was walking in the third place, suddenly stopped, turned to look at the little chamberlain, and pointed to the fresh weeds that had been piled up at his feet: "We can't take these away, please hug my father-in-law." ”

The little waiter looked at the pile of weeds, was overjoyed, and stabbed Ru Hui with a thousand children: "Slave Xie Fang Fujin for saving his life." ”

Saving?!

Seeing the little waiter pick up the pile of grass on the ground like a treasure, Ru Hui pursed her lips and smiled, and then turned around and followed her husband and son's steps to walk out of the cornfield.

The emperor stood outside the cornfield, stretching out his hand to stroke the corn on his back on a corn stalk, the fourth master put down his back, and took his wife and son to kneel down on the ridge and kowtow: "Son, please Amāan." ”

"Daughter-in-law, please the emperor. ”

"Grandson please Malfaan. ”

A family of three, neatly and uniformly, did not attract the emperor's attention.

"Get up. The emperor didn't turn his head back and waved his son, daughter-in-law and grandson who were kneeling on the ground to get up, and his eyes kept on the thick corn stalks one after another: "The corn is growing well?"

The fourth master got up with his wife and children, raised his feet and approached the emperor, touched the thick stalk of corn, and said with a smile: "My son estimates that this growth is better than that of Ningxia Mansion." ”

The corn seeds were soaked in spiritual spring water by Ru Hui, and the ground was good, and he also applied a lot of fertilizer, so if it didn't grow well, it would be too much to say.

Touching the corn that had grown to the size of a woman's forearm, the emperor looked at his fourth son, who was tanned and more lean, and teased, "It seems that you have a good harvest this year. ”

The sweaty fourth master smiled and took off the hat on his head, fanned the wind with one hand, and pointed to the dense corn field with the other: "My son estimates that if the yield per mu of this corn is good, when it is nearly 1,000 catties, the fresh straw should be about 8,000 catties."

The corn son didn't talk about it first, and later the son broke some tender ones and boiled them for Ama to taste.

These stout fresh straws can not only be burned and cooked after drying, but also can be fed to cattle and sheep, broken can also be fed to chickens and pigs, or crushed to fertilize the field;

Corn has a core, and the core can be used to make wine.

It's the most insignificant corn whisker......"

The fourth master stretched out his fingers, lovingly lifted the yellow whiskers on the top of the corn's head, and motioned to him Ama to see: "Ru Jia's and Qin Mama have confirmed that this mustache is good for the liver and gallbladder, can stop bleeding, can stop diarrhea and swelling, and women use it to treat pregnancy swelling, breast sweat and ......."

"Ahem!"

The Emperor coughed lightly.

The fourth master, who was speaking enthusiastically, was suddenly silenced.

Looking up at the playful gaze of the emperor's father, the fourth master, who had not lost his temper in front of Ama for many years, suddenly turned red with a black face.

The emperor successfully teased the fourth son with his eyes, and turned to look eagerly at the corn in front of him: "Fourth, you did a good job, not to mention the yield of 1,000 catties per mu, it is six or seven hundred catties, and you have also made a great contribution to my Qing Dynasty." ”

Looking at the fourth master's eyes flashing on the emperor's shoulder, he then lowered his head and said respectfully: "My son doesn't dare to take credit, it is all protected by the emperor Ama Fuze, and it is also reminded by the brother of the Ru Jia clan that there are only these acres of corn." ”

"Oh?" the emperor wondered: "Ru Fu?"

"Yes. The fourth master nodded: "Corn came from the west, was introduced in the previous dynasty, and was planted in the area of Ningxia Mansion for a long time, but it has never been promoted, and the son can know that it is because Ru Jia's brother followed his son on an errand last year, mentioning the corn planted in Ningxia Mansion, and the son has a heart." ”
