Shoko High Gate (45)

The old lady went, but she listened in a trance, and when she was leaving, she left a message for Jin Cheng'an, telling him to marry Lu Shouxiao for three years.

If you are filial to the reed, you have to stay away from the capital. In the past three years, this is even farther away from the center of power.

Chu Shi hurriedly circled around the room, "How is this good?

"Shut up!" Jin Chengan opened his eyes suddenly, looking at Chu's eyes as if he had a knife, "If you had an old lady who understood everything, the family would not be what it is now." ”

This is really a slap in the face.

"I understand things, what do you want me to understand?" Chu snorted coldly, "How many things have you told me about this family." Even my son and daughter-in-law were taken away a few years ago, and you didn't say a word. But I don't understand anything. This house, inside and out, big and small, I don't have to worry about anything. When did I not understand how to deal with it?" compared me to the old lady, the old lady has been in charge of the affairs of the past few years. When she entered the door, her mother-in-law was still alive, and the housework had been in her old man's hands, and she had never handed it over to her mother-in-law at all. Later, it was given directly to himself. I have presided over the feeding for so many years, and I can't compare to an old lady who eats fasting and recites Buddha all day long, and doesn't know the slightest bit of mundane things?" You're arranging my ...... upside down."

Jin Chengan got up, flicked the curtain, and strode out. Thinking about these bits and pieces all day long, calculating the amount of money in the house, if it weren't for Chu Yuan, how could he marry such a stupid woman.

Jin Shouren and the fourth master were waiting in the study, and when they saw Jin Cheng'an coming in, Jin Shouren hurriedly greeted him: "Dad, do you want to discuss with your grandfather and see what to do about this matter?" Although it was the old lady's dying order, if the emperor won the favor, it was not impossible to stay and continue to serve. Loyalty, filial piety, loyalty, loyalty is naturally in front of filial piety. ”

Jin Chengan's body froze suddenly. Although this is the truth, and it is true that he is in a hurry to give advice for himself, he still feels a little awkward when he hears the words that come out of his son's mouth. Today, if he can ignore the old lady's will, then Ming'er, when he leaves his will, can he choose not to obey it. He opened his mouth and wanted to reprimand, but it could be seen that the fourth child was also there, and it was not good to fold the face of his son in front of the concubine, so he only said lightly, and turned his head to look at the fourth master with a gloomy face: "What do you think? I can't live in the shadow of my father and brother. ”

The fourth master said in his heart, this is uncomfortable, uncomfortable, and he came to himself to find a sense of existence. He got up and bowed, and then said: "Although it is difficult to achieve both loyalty and filial piety, my father was also loyal to the emperor and the emperor when the old lady was seriously ill. Now that the big thing has been decided...... it's time to retire." The words rolled in his mouth, and the exit became, "Father is worthy of the king's trust, and it is time to come back and do his filial piety for the old lady." ”

Jin Chengan looked at the fourth master, this kid just said, 'The big thing has been decided'.

Yes, the big thing has been decided! What are you going to do here?

Dangling in front of the emperor, remind the emperor that I know all the disgusting things you have done.

Is this immortal waiting for the board to be beaten on the ass? If it is really just repeated suppression, this is still easy to do, I am afraid that this emperor will be too ruthless and poisonous, and if he loses his life, he will really have no fun.

In this family, in addition to the old lady, there is really another person who understands. The fourth child understands it.

Jin Chengan went over and sat down: "What you said is that you have fulfilled the duty of a courtier for the father and the king, and it is time to do your duty as a son of man for the old lady." ”

It is said that the old lady has lost her eyes in the past two years and can't see. But this eye is not blind, everything is clear in her old man's heart. She was out of medicine, providing an excuse for her withdrawal.

Seeing that the eldest son was still going to speak, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't say more." That's it. I'll go with your second uncle, and you have to guard this house first. Alright, let's get busy. ”

The fourth master got up and pulled Jin Shouren out.

"Fourth, you said that my father is ......" Jin Shouren sighed, "When I come back in the future, where will my father stand in the court?"

The fourth master looked at Jin Shouren and shook his head, "What my father decides, it's better for the eldest brother not to compare it with Prime Minister Chu Cheng......"

Jin Shouren's eyes lit up: "How can you not mention it? Fortunately, thanks to your reminder, I will send someone to the Chu family." ”

The fourth master looked at Jin Shouren, who had already escaped, and his eyes narrowed. Guiwu followed behind and asked in a low voice, "Master, do you want to ask Shizi for help, or do you not want to ask him to ask for help?"

The fourth master glared at Guiwu: "When you can see it, you can also be a master!"

When I returned to the courtyard, I saw that Lin Yutong was not there, so I asked the girl, "Where is your master?"

"Big girl...... No, it's an aunt from Shizi's side who came. Full Moon whispered back.

This is talking about Lin Yuzhi.

Full Moon served tea, "Do you want to tell the master?"

"No need!" The fourth master picked up the tea, took two sips, and then got up and said, "When your master is done, tell her that I am in the study." Tell her to keep her busy, and leave me alone. ”

Full Moon hurriedly agreed, got up and sent the fourth master out.

In the East Flower Hall, Lin Yuzhi sat at the bottom of Lin Yutong. There was no girl in the house.

"Second sister, I won't hide it from you. Lin Yuzhi didn't have the slightest discoloration on his face, "I'm pretending." ”

Lin Yutong said in her heart, I don't know if you are pretending? She waved her hand, "What you want to do, it's all your business." You don't have to tell me these things. ”

"Second sister!" Lin Yuzhi stood up and stroked his slightly pregnant belly. "Second sister, the birth of this child is also beneficial to you. ”

Lin Yutong was a little impatient, "Before, I have already helped you if I could help you." You have chosen your own path today. Whether it's good or bad, you have to suffer it yourself. I'm not going to meddle. ”

The corners of Lin Yuzhi's mouth moved, and it took a long time before he said: "It's nothing, I just want to ask you, the new emperor now, but Prince Heng?

There was absolutely no imperial grandson in the previous life. What the hell is going on, how can it be so good, there is an extra imperial grandson. She is fine with everything now, but there is only one bad thing, that is, the news is too closed. Mrs. Chu raised her like a pig, and it was for the sake of the child in her belly. His only reliance is on the child's great creation. If there is a grandson, where is the creation of this child?

So, her expression became more and more anxious, "It's all the girls muttering in private, I heard it." But what do these girls know......

Lin Yutong nodded, "That's right, there is an imperial grandson, and now he should be called the prince." Emperor Daxing passed Prince Duan's eldest son to the emperor. That's what it's like. Superfluous, but she refused to say more.

As soon as he finished saying this, he saw Lin Yuzhi fall into deep thought. Lin Yutong didn't have the heart to sit here with her, so she got up and called Sanxi, "Send my aunt back." You send it over personally. ”

Lin Yuzhi was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Yutong, "Now, although it is already February, it is still very cold." If you are pregnant, it is better not to come out and hang around. What if there's a bad ......," she looked at Lin Yuzhi's stomach, "I can't afford it." "There are too many people in this house who don't welcome this child, so if you don't hide yourself, give birth to the child first, and then ask around what these things can do? With her level, what else does she want to change?

"I ......" Lin Yuzhi grabbed Lin Yutong's sleeve, "I have one last thing to ask you." Help me get Chunmei from the Lin family......"

Lin Yutong wondered, did he have a virgin face?" "You can ask for it from the Lin family yourself, why do you have to let me come forward." You just want to tell Mrs. Shizi not to go too far, not to stretch out her hand at will. Otherwise, there is still my sister-in-law in this house, and you are really going to have an accident, and someone will stand up for you. But why don't you think about it for me. My sister has become a concubine for others, where is my face? How do you tell me to get along with this concubine of the prince? Don't challenge my limits under the guise of being a sister. Before he finished speaking, Lin Yuzhi's face became unpleasant. Lin Yutong didn't care about her, and only said to Sanxi: "Send my aunt over, tell Mrs. Shizi, tell her to take care of the concubine's room, and don't let it out and hang around." ”

Sanxi helped Lin Yuzhi, who was pale, to go out, and sighed in his heart, why is this a big girl? Besides, his master is not a bodhisattva who saves suffering, and he can still respond to his request.

Chu Huaiyu couldn't help laughing after sending Sanxi away, "Such a fool, since you want to stay, stay here." You say, why is there such a big difference between girls from the same family? This fourth sibling is a personal sperm. ”

And Lin Yutong went back to the house after Sanxi took Lin Yuzhi away. I heard that the fourth master was in the study, but Lin Yutong didn't bother. He's been busy reprogramming the cipher symbols lately, as well as refining the way to identify messages. Because he suspected that the old things, Jin Chengan probably already knew.

He can't talk about replacing the inherent things again, but for all the dark guards, relearning is also a difficult process. Many things are what they have been used to for half a lifetime, and they suddenly have to change, but it is not so easy. The point is, a lot of people are still on a mission and can't be withdrawn at any time to re-familiarize themselves with the new rules. So, to a certain extent, it can't be a one-size-fits-all approach. The old thing still has to be used, but how to improve it so that it can be connected with the new regulations is a big problem.

It's already February, and the weather is slowly getting warmer. Lin Yutong also has his own things to be busy with.

On your own Zhuangzi, you have to re-comb it. No matter who it was before, this person who couldn't do things with his heart was replaced by Lin Yutong. I didn't leave these people in Zhuangzi, and directly returned the deed of sale, so I did what I had to do.

"The master has to treat these people like this. Full Moon pouted, "Without the protection of the Lord's house, I will see how they live." ”

Sanxi nodded: "That's right, the price of food outside has quadrupled today." If you don't have a family background, you have to scrape your family foundation clean just because of this spring famine. ”

Lin Yutong was originally listening casually, but when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"

Sanxi wondered: "The price of food has quadrupled. ”

Lin Yutong's hand stopped suddenly, these ministers all eat dry rice, and the price of grain in the capital has risen like this, and they don't pay attention to it.

As he was talking, the fourth master came in, "Help me clean up, I'll go out, and I may come back a little late in the evening." ”

Lin Yutong waved his hand and sent the girls away, before entering the inner room, and asked the fourth master to change his clothes, he should be in a hurry to go to the dark guard camp. "But for the sake of food prices?"

"It's more dangerous than that. The fourth master said while changing his clothes, "I just came back from outside, and there are many more Imperial Forest Army patrols in the capital. ”

The Guards?!

The Praetorian Guards were responsible for the security of the Imperial Palace, but the Imperial Guards were responsible for the defense of the entire Gyeonggi region.

Now that the Royal Forest Army is dispatched, something must have changed. What I am most afraid of is that this action will cause people to panic and stimulate the people's uprising.

Lin Yutong cleaned up for the fourth master: "You don't have to worry about the family, just be careful yourself." ”

"Rest assured. When has the master ever done something that risked his life?" the fourth master said, turning around and leaving, "It's very chaotic outside, so you can stay at home." Don't go out of the house for anything. ”

Sending away the fourth master who was not worried about himself, Lin Yutong took a few turns in the house, what could he do?

"Someone is coming, ......" Lin Yutong shouted outside, and then, Sanxi walked in quickly. Only then did she whisper, "Please come to the shopkeeper Shi." ”

Sanxi saw that Lin Yutong was careful, so he said: "I understand, I will be cautious when I come in." ”

Shi Zhongyu came quickly, "I wanted to come to see the girl for a long time, but there was a funeral in your house, and I couldn't come to the door." ”

Lin Yutong pulled Shi Zhongyu to sit down, and handed the jade pendant that Shi Zhongyu gave him before marriage to Shi Zhongyu.

Shi Zhongyu was stunned: "What does this mean, girl? This is a piece of the master's heart." ”

Lin Yutong waved his hand, "You misunderstood what I meant." She handed the jade pendant over, "This money should be spent on the blade." Niang is now in the palace, neither the queen nor the favorite concubine. She has to stand firm in the palace...... "Speaking of this, the words can't go any further," you only showed my mother a jade pendant, and she would understand what I meant. ”

Shi Zhongyu took it at this time, "I'll find a way to inform Mama He when I go back." ”

Lin Yutong nodded, "In addition, I have a few words to say to you." Whether it's right or not, you can figure it out for yourself. ”

"Why does the girl have to see her like this, just say it. Shi Zhongyu said, with a positive color on his face.

"You've been befriending the housemaid before, and that's a good job. Lin Yutong looked at Shi Zhongyu, "But now it's different." You should slowly pull your eyes out of the back house and look out more. ”

"Look outside?" Shi Zhongyu didn't understand what he meant for a moment, "Look outside?

Lin Yutong said in a low voice: "Look at the world and people outside. Today, for example, the price of food outside has quadrupled, and the streets are full of Imperial Guards. What is behind this? You pass these original copies back to the palace, this is what my mother wants to know most now. ”

Shi Zhongyu didn't understand a little in his heart, but he still didn't say anything, and silently remembered it in his heart first.

By the time Gan received the news, it was already night. She stroked the jade pendant she sent back in her hand, and handed it to Mama He, "You can keep it." Whatever you will need money from here, take it from it. ”

"What do you mean, girl?" Mama He bowed down and took it, this is not a small amount of silver, she probably really doesn't know how much silver it is, so she returned it.

Gan waved his hand, "Mama, you have been with me for so many years, why don't you have a child who understands?"

Mama He smiled and said: "When the old slave followed the master to listen to the master's lecture, didn't the old man also say that no matter what he did, he had to have a comprehension? ”

Gan couldn't help but laugh, "That's it." Don't talk about that. You send someone, please ask the emperor to come over. ”

Seeing the solemn look on her master's face, Mama He hurriedly retreated.

"Hahaha...... My sister and I really have a heart-to-heart. I said I was going to come to you, so you sent someone to invite you. The emperor came in, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, which made his whole body look radiant.

"What are you so happy about?" Gan himself went over and handed over a hot handkerchief.

"The name of the year has been set, and it is called 'Yongkang'. What do you think?" Emperor Yongkang covered his face with a hot cloth, but he was not in a hurry to take it off, but just covered it, lying on the couch, waiting for Gan to speak.

"Yongkang?" Gan nodded, "This era name is good." She smiled, and then twisted a hot cloth and put it on his face, "It reminds me of when I was a child." ”

"An era name, how can you remember what happened when you were a child?" Emperor Yongkang pulled down the hot veil, revealing a pair of eyes and looking at Gan.

"Do you remember when my father asked you what the foundation of this country was, and what did you answer at that time?" Gan whispered, as if he were only talking about the past in the past.

"How could you not remember?" Emperor Yongkang immediately took off the veil on his face, and then sat up, "I said at the time, Nongsang is the foundation of the country. At that time, I was eight years old. ”

Gan nodded, "Yes, there was also Prince Duan with you at that time." At that time, Prince Duan said that Rong Ma could win the world, so Rong Ma should be the foundation of the country. So, Daddy decided to take you as a disciple. ”

Emperor Yongkang couldn't help laughing, "He has always been unable to read books, in the house, the enlightened gentleman also gave lectures, but he refused to listen, even if he listened, he only made a mess and didn't go to his heart." And I did remember a few words from the sage at the time. ”

Gan nodded: "Sage Yun, 100 people farming, one person dwelling, Wang Ye, ten people farming, one person living in one, strong also, half farmer and half resident, dangerous also." Why did His Majesty remember the truth when he was eight years old, but now why he has forgotten it. ”

"What do you mean?" Emperor Yongkang put away the smile on his face and looked at Gan, "Explain your words to me clearly." ”

Gan Shi put the handkerchief in his hand back into the basin, put down the sleeves he had rolled up gently, and then sat opposite Emperor Yongkang, "Your Majesty, it's February now." Spring returns to the earth, and everything recovers. The farmers have already begun to level the fields and are ready to plow. These things, in my opinion, are the most important and important of all. As she spoke, she sighed softly, "I also know what Your Majesty is worried about. But you're too worried. The people of this world are still too busy to worry about their own food and clothing every day, and who cares about which Son of Heaven is sitting on the throne? The people regard food as their heaven, and as long as the emperor can feed them, he is a good emperor. It's too late to pacify and appease the people, so how can we oppress the people?"

Emperor Yongkang raised his eyebrows: "Your news is well-informed." Do you know about the dispatch of the Imperial Forest Army to the capital to defend it?"

Gan snorted lightly: "What kind of wind can't blow in this palace wall? Not to mention such a big thing! I want to know, who did you come up with such a bad idea?"

"Yin damage?" Emperor Yongkang laughed, "What is your mouth!what?, do you still have a grudge against Chu Yuan?"

Gan's heart moved, but his brows furrowed more and more: "Chu Yuan, I didn't expect it to be an old minister!"

Old minister?

The look on Emperor Yongkang's face became strange, "Yes! The first emperor was simply pulled, and the old ministers who assisted the first emperor were assisted!"

Gan Shi looked at Emperor Yongkang: "Your Majesty, if I say that this Chu Yuan is uneasy and kind, you won't also think that I am out of selfishness, right?"

Emperor Yongkang looked at Gan for a long time: "Selfishness is certain. But I will allow you to finish your sentence. Even if it's a selfish attack, as long as your words make sense, then talk about it. It doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

"Your Majesty, who knows me. Gan was very calm, and he was not embarrassed at all because of being revealed in his heart. He continued: "There was a heavy snowfall last winter, disaster relief, and all the grain stocks have been requisitioned. Prince Duan thought well at the time, and he requisitioned the grain from the noble ministers, from the grain merchants, and from the hands of the people, and this was indeed the difficulty of the time. But now, the earth is warming, the snow is melting, the water in the rivers, lakes and seas is soaring, and the possibility of spring floods is especially great. This is a factor of instability outside the capital. Besides, in the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there is a serious shortage of food now. Even if they wanted to requisition food from other places, the snow melted and the roads were muddy. Not to mention the slow transportation on this road, coupled with the wear and tear, it is already too late. The price of grain has skyrocketed, merchants are hoarding, and everyone is rushing to buy it. On such a day, how many days can ordinary people survive at home?" she took a deep breath, "When the time comes, outside the capital, the spring flood will spread, and it will be the season of green and yellow. It will inevitably lead to the displacement of people. Besides, in the capital, with today's grain prices, the people will not be able to eat for a few days. Even if this Imperial Forest Army is stationed in Beijing, does it really have to wait for an accident to occur before washing the capital in blood. That would be adding fuel to the fire. The stirring up of the people is only between day and night. What will happen to Your Majesty then?"

Emperor Yongkang's face slowly condensed, "In your opinion, how about me?"

"The emperor hasn't even done the enthronement ceremony now, so naturally everything should seek the word 'stability'! As long as the world is stable, this court will be stable. When the court is stable, your throne can be secure. Gan's tone changed, with a little cold ridicule, "This truth, I, a woman, understand it, but he doesn't understand it? But who will benefit from chaos?"

Emperor Yongkang remembered Gan's warning before, and Jin Chengan had long been disobedient. If there is chaos, naturally someone will be able to take advantage of the chaos. "Yes, you're right! I realized the danger. There are only two ways to deal with the crisis, one is to deter and the other is to appease. Chu Yuan advocates deterrence, and you advocate appeasement. He chuckled, "It's all right, it's not right!" He got up, turned around twice, and said, "I will immediately draft a decree to open the royal granary and stabilize the price of grain in the capital." Whoever hoards strange things will be killed. In addition, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household should also be called to get a charter as soon as possible to deal with the spring floods that may occur in various localities. And the Guards ...... Stationed ten miles away from the capital, in case of accidents. "In this way, everything can be safed.

Gan Shi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Emperor Yongkang nodded at Gan, "However, I remember your reminder." This Chu Yuan is indeed a little difficult to figure out. ”

Gan pursed his lips and smiled, and said no more.

Emperor Yongkang looked at Gan, and somehow, suddenly let out a sigh, "What I like most about you is this." Know the proportions!" Knowing that he was already dissatisfied with Chu Yuan, he would not chase and beat Chu Yuan again. That's proportion.

Looking at the back of Emperor Yongkang leaving, a trace of worry flashed in Gan's eyes. Boasting that you are measured, then this is naturally a reflection of others' lack of proportion. Who are you talking about? She turned her head and asked Mama He, "What did the queen do again?"

Mama He said in a low voice: "The old lady of the Li family has entered the palace. Stayed in Chaofeng Palace. ”

The old lady of the Li family, Liu, is the mother of the queen. It's nothing to enter the palace to accompany the queen, but this has to be given grace to the queen, not by the queen, let alone by the Li family.

The outside thinks that the emperor is really generous, so it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes in acting. This old lady is like this, although her daughter married into the royal family, she was not favored by the prince at that time. Moreover, this prince has never shown the slightest intention of seizing the heir in front of the Li family. Therefore, the Li family had already given up on this daughter. But no one thought that she would have a time to soar. Now, it's a little bit of a puff up. Just looking at it in the eyes of others, it is inevitable to look arrogant.

Mama He said in a low voice: "I heard that the Liu family entered the palace and mentioned the prince's marriage to the queen. I want to choose one person from the girls of the Li family and the Liu family......"

"Confused!" Before Mama He finished speaking, Gan frowned, "What did the queen say?"

"Queen...... No objection. Mama He sighed, "Look, do you want to remind the queen ......?"

"What do you tell me to say?" Gan snorted, "Say that her own mother is cheating on her?"

Where can that be said?

Mama He hurriedly said: "Just be an old slave and never say anything." ”

Gan Shi looked at the jade pendant in Mama He's palm again, "It's like a palace person who gave you this news, don't be stingy, just give a reward." Now you understand what that girl meant by sending back the jade pendant?"

Mama He suddenly realized that this was to ask the master to fold the knots and hand them over. "But ......" This is too aggrieved.

"Pain and gentleness are not ashamed, so as to do great things. Gan Shi muttered a few words, and couldn't help laughing, "Now, Shi Zhongyu is getting worse and worse than that girl." You Ming'er sent a message to Shi Zhongyu and told her to listen to the girl's dispatch. ”

Mama He understood what the master meant, this was to give the jade in the stone to the girl. "That's what she's made up. ”

Gan smiled, speechless. This is not a question of whether to give it or not, but now, Shi Zhongyu's vision and insight are obviously inferior to that girl.

Lin Yutong sat on the kang and waited for the fourth master. She had a needle and thread in her hand, but she hadn't actually done a few stitches at all. From time to time, fiddle with some wicks and take a few peeks outside.

When the fourth master came back, his steps were very light. I didn't call the girl outside to report, but as soon as I lifted the curtain, I saw her staring at the candle flame stunned, "No matter how you look at the light, I'm not afraid of flashing my eyes." ”

Lin Yutong quickly got up and glanced up and down at the fourth master: "It's okay." It's okay, I'll bring you food. ”

The fourth master pulled Lin Yutong: "Tell the girls to go." As he spoke, he went inside to freshen up and change, "Don't worry about it." Today, I took advantage of the situation to choose the eighteen guards to come out. Then something will tell them to pass the word. If it's not very important, I won't show up. As soon as I leave your eyes, you will follow the suspense. ”

Of course this is good. Lin Yutong sighed, "I saw you scolding Fang Xuan, so I was reluctant to let you hide in the corner and plan." ”

The fourth master was stunned, and he didn't expect her to think like this. He laughed and said, "Whoever said that scolding Fang Xuan has to stand on the high platform at all." Even if you hide in the corner, you can still influence the current situation in the world and the trend of the court. This is the real master. I think I'm upgrading. It's good to play by yourself, so don't be sad. ”

Lin Yutong didn't believe his nonsense, but he didn't argue with him, and went out to bring in the food box sent by the girls, so he quipped: "Tell me to listen, what are you going to do next?"

The fourth master took the bowl and snorted: "Our previous plan remains the same, the first target, Chu Yuan." ”

If the Chu family does not fall, the Chu family will still be tough, and in this mansion, they will inevitably suffer some grievances. The most important thing is that once the Chu family falls, Jin Chengan's major affairs will have to be blocked. Now he has to press Jin Chengan, and he can't be asked to pick it out in a hurry. Otherwise, wouldn't he be wronged if he became a rebellious minister and thief?

Lin Yutong really got up right now, "Is this true?" Really attack Chu Yuan?

is the emperor, in the face of the old ministers who were simply pulled up by the emperor of Daxing, it is not easy to act rashly.

The fourth master looked at Lin Yutong strangely: "When does the master speak no longer count." The time is just right. Once a son of heaven and a courtier!"

Lin Yutong was stunned. If there is no courtiers in this court, I am afraid that the emperor's decree will not be able to pass on to the palace. Although Chu Yuan is because of Jin Chengan's relationship, between him and the emperor, he can be regarded as having the merit of following the dragon. But...... The emperor was suspicious of such an old minister. In front of such a person, he can't put on a stand to be a king. He lacks confidence.

Moving Chu Yuan away will naturally make room for the emperor's people.

"When will this be done?" Lin Yutong was a little eager to try.

The fourth master pulled the rice: "Push it again." The spring flood is approaching, and there is another food shortage in Gyeonggi. Even if this Chu Yuan is a bit of an eyesore, we still focus on the overall situation. A Chu Yuan is just a hidden boil disease. Compared to the interests of so many people, he is nothing. ”

Lin Yutong immediately leaned over and told the fourth master about the message to the Gan family, "I don't know what she thinks, whether she can understand what I mean." But don't let me down. ”

The fourth master put down the bowl and looked at Lin Yutong with a straight face.

Lin Yutong was so hairy that he wiped his face with the back of his hand, it shouldn't be dirty, "What's wrong?

The fourth master laughed, "The master just said that he can control the world's major events, and this is said, but he hasn't done it yet." And you're different! You're smarter than you! Isn't this thing you doing effective in stirring up the storm?"

Lin Yutong pushed the fourth master: "Go! It's okay to make fun of me." ”

But the next day, the news he got made Lin Yutong's eyes light up. The royal granary was opened to release grain and stabilize the price of grain in Gyeonggi. The Imperial Guards evacuated from the city. The piles and piles all prove that Gan really understands the meaning of his message to her.

But the fourth master immediately got up: "You also change your clothes, let's go meet someone." ”

Meet people?

Who to meet?

Lin Yutong changed into plain clothes and came out, and went out with the fourth master with only Sanxi and Guiwu.

Looking out of the car window, the capital is still a little different from before.

Now during the period of national filial piety, it is not allowed to marry and mourn, drink, feast, sing and dance, and even eat meat. Thinking about it this way, isn't there no way to do business in this capital?

The fourth master seemed to know Lin Yutong's thoughts, and said with a smile: "The inner city is depressed, but the outer city should be as lively." ”

Lin Yutong nodded, there is such a thing everywhere. The city is afraid of being caught, and is afraid of being impeached by the imperial history. But outside the city, in their opinion, it is 'the sky is high and the emperor is far away'. Besides, there are three religions and nine streams, and the personnel are mixed, and no one asks anyone's origins. The chance of coming out and running into an acquaintance is also low!" There are such people everywhere, always trying to take advantage of loopholes. ”

The fourth master didn't care, "There is a good restaurant with vegetarian dishes." The tofu feast is a must. I'll take you to taste it when I'm done later. ”

Lin Yutong really didn't know who he brought him to see and what to do. As a result, the carriage left the capital, turned around the outer city a few times, and stopped not far from a village. The yard had no walls, only fence walls and fence gates. When the carriage is parked outside, you can see the scene in the courtyard clearly.

"What do you want me to see?" Lin Yutong looked into the courtyard, except for a woman and two boys grinding tofu, there was no one.

The fourth master waved his hand, "Wait a little longer." ”

But this is more than half an hour. Hearing the sound of a donkey barking, Lin Yutong looked over.

As a result, I saw a man dressed in sackcloth and covered in patches get down from the donkey and walk towards the courtyard.

"Is he the one you want to show me?" Lin Yutong looked back in surprise.

Seeing that the fourth master nodded, Lin Yutong looked over again, who is this man with a black face and a patch? Is there anything special about the fourth master who deserves to call himself to see him?
