Chapter 46: Catching Insects
In such an extraordinary time, everyone is calculating. Read the full text of the latest chapter, Prince Yu calculates when the emperor will ascend to 1, how the emperor calculates how to take down his old rival with his last breath, and how the Rong family and his son calculate how to survive in the cracks.
Rong Shi came back very late, and when he got the news of Song Yin, his mind didn't stop for a moment, and he was worried when he got home.
Their father and son are indeed on the throne, and the two of them have a good official residence, and they can't find a second family in the imperial court. Such a favor is not obtained in vain, when the first emperor promulgated the edict, Rong Bachelor was present, and it was a big lie for the "heir" to become "four", no one contributed to it, and there was no manpower to turn the tide, where did the current situation come from?
The heart of the master in the world is probably the same as that of his parents, and he has a good eye for a student, and he really takes care of his own child. At that time, when the emperor was the elder brother, he was under the 'door' of Master Rong, and the fourth son of the emperor was a diligent and loyal temperament, and never stole 'treachery' and played tricks. The young man is ambitious, sensitive and studious, and is deeply loved by his master. The first emperor had six sons, all of whom had good minds, among which Yan Fang and Yan Sui were the most top-notch. The imperial inheritance adheres to one point, there is a grandson, there is no grandson, these two brothers were born to Queen Xu, among which Yan Fang is the eldest son, so Bachelor Rong and several important ministers were mixed together, and the crown fell on the head of the fourth son of the emperor. After the emperor ascended the throne, he thanked them for their benefits, and rewarded several ministers, and Rong was the most important, and he was promoted and promoted. The emperor and Rong Shi have known each other since they were young, and the 'private' is the same 'friendship' as buddies, and the father and son have worked for the main generation, which has led to the glory of the Rong family today.
However, people's 'nature' is ultimately selfish, and they used to rely on it so much, but when it comes to a critical moment, it is still themselves who take care of it. The emperor's illness was well hidden, and if it weren't for Lu Run's special care for Song Yin, they would still be planning to deal with Prince Yu wholeheartedly. Without the emperor's full support, is the emperor's younger brother so easy to manipulate? Yan Sui Taoguang is obscure, the surface is peaceful, and there is no wind and three feet of 'waves' in the dark. The challenge to imperial power never needs to be tense, it just needs to be timed. From foreign enemies harassing the vassal king to 'chaos', to floods and insect plagues, and taxes and revitalization, the emperor '' very much, and he must '' for twelve points. The name is said to be the main worry, but in fact, it is a reputation for fame, this is the power of Prince Yu. A person who is not only faultless but meritorious, if you move him, he will not tolerate people, it is fratricide, the emperor cannot bear this notoriety, so he tolerates him to this day. Now I don't care about it, I am determined to clean him up, and if I have a good body, it is not difficult to bring him down. But what about after the topple? There is no heir under the knee, what will the country do when the time comes?
Master Rong saw the holy bow several times, and faintly noticed that something was wrong, "Long live Lord seems to have a deficiency disease." ”
Rong Shi frowned and said, "Tuberculosis." ”
Master Rong choked for a long time, and sighed after a long time, "Young ...... Looks like we'll have to find another way. ”
At present, in addition to Prince Yu, the other four princes in the court almost don't ask about anything, and when they see Tian'er walking birds and raising grasshoppers to give birth to sons, they don't have a good candidate after thinking about it. Rong Shi looked at his father and said, "Can you make a fuss about the belly of Jingqi Pavilion?" ”
Master Rong hesitated, "Do you know whether the master's belly is a son or a 'girl'?" Even if it is an elder brother, how old can the emperor delay until the child? I tell you, the young lord's accession to the throne is not something to be said casually, there has to be someone who can calm down and stand up, and the queen mother must take the lead when the time comes. That Guo Master's background is low, her father is a green camp leader, and her mother's family has no foundation at all, how can He De be the queen mother? According to me, Lu Run is a scourge, he was beaten well, and we all suffered. Chong Guan was angry as a eunuch, I have lived a long time, and I have never heard of this saying. When the real person is so sick that he doesn't even know who he is. ”
This predicament is like a big net, encircling everyone, and even Master Rong feels that there is nothing to be done. Rong Shi sat in the circle chair, raised his hand and stroked his 'lips', "Can the situation of the Heart Cultivation Palace be hidden from the imperial court and Prince Yu?" ”
Master Rong snorted and laughed, "You can only be a fool when you are the sixth ghost?" Last time, the appointment and dismissal of the Bashu General Army, the emperor only summoned a few important ministers of the cabinet to discuss, why did he get the news early? If he was Ansheng, maybe he would have been sent to Shengjing to look at the library, and he would have waited until this time? ”
Rong Shi pondered and said, "Songyin came to me today, she meant to let me keep a hand, so as not to be retaliated against in the future." But the emperor wants to hold on to it, and we can't do it. I weighed it again and again, whoever is the emperor is better than Prince Yu. I'm going to set up a trap for him to drill, and when the time comes, I will take him down in one fell swoop, and I won't have to worry about myself. ”
Bachelor Rong glanced at him, "Is it worth taking this risk?" I know what you're thinking, you're not really the emperor, you're trying to be 'private', aren't you? Because Prince Yu is also interested in Song Yin, you have made up your mind to eradicate him. ”
"Isn't that obvious, you ask?" He generously admitted that there was nothing to hide in front of his father, "But for Songyin is one case, the other, we have always been the emperor's people, Prince Yu has not been effective several times, don't you have any complaints about us?" Feng Shui takes turns, and if it falls into his hands, we will have no good fruit to eat. 800 Don't wait until the mountains and rivers are exhausted, it's too late to think about it then. ”
Master Yung thought a little more, "What can lead him out now?" ”
"What do you think is most important to him?"
Master Rong snorted his beard, "What's important...... The death of the Holy Bow had some impact on him. ”
Rong Shi nodded, "Both men and women claim to be elder brothers, can he still stay in the Prince's Mansion?" Unless he doesn't do it, I have a way to do it. ”
This is a dangerous move, if it is bad, the Rong family will be over, but if it can be done, maybe it will be another minister. It's hard to decide whether to take that risk or not. Bachelor Rong looked at his son, he rarely had such a serious time, and the son and brother who were shaded by his ancestors were unwilling to pay attention to anything before. This time, in order to marry a daughter-in-law, my life has been sacrificed, is the price paid too great? Bachelor Rong advocates moderation, and after being an official for so many years, he is tired and frightened, and he sees everything. Whether the children can become officials is not the most important, I just hope that the whole family is safe, and it is enough to wish.
He paced in the room, "I'm afraid this thing won't go so smoothly, Prince Yu is very cunning, he is not the king of the county, and he calls you to play monkey." He paced behind his son and pressed him heavily on the shoulder, "Son, I have to persuade you, there is no grass at the end of the world." When the sky changes, you have to fight, fight for a good one, have you thought about the consequences? ”
Rong Shi looked back and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid, I know what's at stake." I'm not a man with a knife on top of my head, he will make a heart, will I? It's just that I have to discuss this matter with Song Yin and ask her for help. ”
Bachelor Rong was still worried, "You have to think carefully, two families, how many 'sex' lives, you can't afford to deal with something wrong." ”
When it comes to this, it is a knife to stretch out the head, and it is also a knife to shrink the head. He brushed his thoughts, he wanted to do it behind his back, didn't she persuade him to surrender, he pretended to defect, and when the time came, he turned against him and hit the nail on the head. can think about it carefully, the matter is big, he should talk to her, and the two of them can do it together.
The next day, he raised a table in Dongxing Building, and went to the Internal Affairs Office to pick her up in the middle of the day, but she didn't say anything, and went out of the palace with her Ama as soon as she 'handed over'.
It was cold, and he was afraid that she would get cold, so he prepared a car before dismounting the stone, and the two of them rode hand in hand, and it was his Goshha who drove the car.
Song Yin lifted the curtain to look outside, leaned against the window and said with a smile: "It's so easy to be empty, that table is almost rancid." As he spoke, he 'kneaded' his shoulder, "The edicts in the red stall room are piled up like a mountain, and they have all been taken out and sorted out, and they are packed with forty sacks, but I am tired to death." ”
He is a good man of twenty-four filial piety, and he immediately understood it, and was busy pinching her shoulders and beating her back, "Don't let the people below do the work of strength?" How energetic can you be in a girl's house? Look at these little arms and legs, Sula has grown white and fat, you are getting thinner and thinner, I feel distressed if you go on like this. ”
He pinched her arm and took the opportunity to get close, his fingers were not honest, they all pinched her armpits, and she also indulged him, just teasing: "Let you give me a massage, I'm embarrassed." Lord Rong is a busy man, I work so hard for you, long live the lord, I don't have this treatment! ”
He smiled and said: "Old men, high-ranking officials are at your fingertips, and the most important thing is to serve your daughter-in-law." Serving your daughter-in-law well, that's the real skill, don't you say? ”
He took a bite of a daughter-in-law, and Song Yin pursed his lips and smiled. She looked very good, he saw that his heart was 'rippling', leaned over a little, took her into his arms, found the red 'Yan' and 'Yan' 'lips', and kissed her hard, "I can't wait to marry you home at this time." ”
She was not in a hurry, saying that sooner or later there would be this day. I thought about going to Yuwang's Mansion yesterday, and finally decided to sue him.
"I may be a little bit of a self-conscious person." She looked up into his eyes, "I'm afraid you're mad at me...... I think the emperor is coming to an end, and we have to plan for the future. I met Prince Yu, and my Ama asked me to show my loyalty. I also mentioned our matter, and I said that I had already wooed you, for fear that he would suspect you, so I told me about Master Guo's pregnancy. She paused, carefully observed his face, and said, "He should have been touched by this, and his attitude towards you has changed a little...... Do you blame me? I'm too ruthless, for my own sake, I can push people under the guillotine. ”
Blame her for being 'selfish'? She's tried her best, how can you blame her! When the two of them thought of it together, he was very happy, hugged her and said, "My daughter-in-law is smart, I discussed this with my father yesterday, what do you think should happen next?" ”
As soon as Song Yin heard that the beating was right, he put his mind at ease and snuggled up to him and said, "He asked me to dispose of the child, and I agreed, but I couldn't do it." I thought about it carefully, if we were qualified, we would earn a chance in vain, and not hurt a single soldier. If it's an elder brother, I want you to help me, and the 'door' is closed and accommodating. I went out and 'touched' a 'female' child to change my brother out and leave a root for the emperor. She wanted to talk about the Xigui people, but after thinking about it, she still held back, afraid that he would look down on her and think she was bad-hearted.
Using Guo Guiren and the dragon seed in his stomach as bargaining chips, the two of them almost agreed, but the way they disposed of it was a little different. He frowned and said, "I also want to discuss this matter with you, I mean that both men and women say that it is a brother, and Prince Yu is in the trap." As long as he does it, I can take the opportunity to eradicate him. If you go outside and 'get' a child in, it's not difficult to pass through the 'door', and no one dares to stop you if you want to walk sideways. But what if half of the children on the road cry? Have you ever thought about what it is to be held on? I don't want you to take the risk, anyway, it's already at that point, so let's just don't do it! At this moment, you are dead and alive, and if you don't use means, the grass on the grave will grow tall next year. ”
Song Yin's heart jumped again, "You really plan to do so?" What if he doesn't? ”
He smiled, "Don't put it on, why don't you look at the emperor?" That's good, assisting the young master is another great achievement that will go down in history. ”
She had a good idea, and he promised not to 'interfere' in our affairs anymore. I know that he is ambitious, as long as he is made the emperor, he will not be happy, and he will come to find our stubble? ”
He stared at her, "You believe him?" Once he is in control of the overall situation, it is up to him to be happy whether to 'knead' us round or flatten. ”
Song Yin looked at him stunned, "Second brother...... What should we do? ”
He stroked her face, "We have different opinions, you think about it." We have to cooperate with both sides in this matter, and I can't do it alone. ”
Song Yin felt a dilemma, he was worried that she knew that it would be good if she could really get rid of Prince Yu in one go. If you are afraid, you are afraid that you will succeed, and when the time comes, not only the two of them, but also the whole family will suffer.
It was difficult for her to make a decision, and at this time she had already arrived in front of the big 'gate' of Dongxing Building, this restaurant has been around for many years, and everyone in the city loves to come. Song Yin was afraid of meeting acquaintances, and there was an endless greeting when he turned around, but fortunately he booked a private room on the second floor, and as soon as people arrived, the dishes were continuously transported.
"I've been shouting for almost two months, and I'm only here today." Rong Shi pulled a circle chair for her to sit down, "Let's leave aside what we said for the time being, the place is not right, and there is no wall with ears." Just have a good meal here, I see you've been '' lately, and you're tired on your face, so you can't do that. I have no objection to you being busy with the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but you have to be careful with your own body. "He is a eater, he is very familiar with the "color" of the dishes here, and he pointed with chopsticks as if he was reporting the name of the "flower", "Nine turns of the large intestine dregs stewed duck four treasure dumplings and lamb 'meat' stewed spinach...... "Give her a little bit like this, a little bit like that, I'm afraid that she won't eat it, so I coaxed her, "If you eat well, people have oil and water, and it's even more beautiful." Don't keep frowning, the sky can't fall, and there is a 'stick' mallet on top of the collapse, don't worry! ”
She wanted to laugh when she heard him say these inconsequential words, and the depression just now was gone, no matter what happened, let's discuss it later, according to his words, eating is the first important thing for the people's livelihood, and I won't do it for an emperor.
The two of them rolled up their sleeves and moved their hands, Song Yin used to be Sven, pick a little on the tip of the chopsticks, eat in small bites, and don't chew the sea, this is the rule of the family. But when he met this person, he didn't like her to eat less, and said that the emperor only tasted a small bite of a dish for dinner, which was called eating "sick food". The one who likes to eat is open to eat, and said while eating, "Sister, you can't be 'blinded' by that ghost Lao Liu, what's going on with the imperial meal, you know it when you walk in the palace." Isn't it interesting to eat two meals a day? You are facing a table of good dishes, and when you are hungry, you have to wait for the eunuch to finish tasting them one by one before it is your turn, do you want to kill him? I always think that although the people in the palace eat a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, they have no food, and what they eat is not 'sex', so they are not as good as us. "Don't hold it in front of me, the more you eat, the happier I am." It's not just that I know each other, I have to pretend to be delicate, and I don't dare to chew things. In the future, let's open our own small stove, and I'll cook you whatever you like. ”
Song Yin said with great comfort in his heart, "Do it in the middle of the night when you are hungry?" ”
"That's nature." He patted his chest, "I don't have the ability to support my wife." If you don't become an official in the future, let's also open a restaurant, move the dishes in the palace out, and keep the business better than here! ”
He doesn't have nostalgia for officialdom, if he really has the opportunity, he can live a very happy life like this.
As he was talking, the person who ran the hall asked through the curtain: "Second Master Rong, we have a new Shanxi chef here who can make noodles." One of the best is the clear oil cake, the side is finely stretched, a nest of silk, sandwiched with smoked "chicken" shreds, how beautiful is it, can you try it? ”
Rong Shi loves to try new things, eats novelty things and improves them himself, and goes back to make them for his family. It should be good, "There is a reward for doing a good job." ”
The guy shouted "yes" happily and led the order to pass the food. Just about to raise the chopsticks again, the curtain on the 'door' was raised, and someone probed and said: "I heard that it was called Second Master Rong, hey, it's really you!" Looking at Song Yin again, "Why are you there?" The old lady also said that she would warm the food for you in the middle of the day, it turned out that she didn't worry about eating and drinking, and there was someone Zhang Luo! ”
Song Yin stood up and said, "It's really a coincidence, the second brother made an appointment?" ”
This is the three-room Jin Kun, the second row of cousins. The Tong family has a good relationship with each other, even if they don't live in the same house, they have to get together to joke with the juniors during the New Year's holidays. Although the family knew that Song Yin and Rong Shi had already discussed the same, they always thought that they were both close and far, and they were not so enthusiastic. was broken by him today, and the two of them secretly met to come to the restaurant, and Jin Kun felt that he had discovered the big news and couldn't wait to publicize it.
When Rong Shi saw his uncle, he didn't have time to pat himself on the back, and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of guest it is, if it's convenient, let's use it together, it's lively." ”
Jin Kun snorted, "Who can I date, it's not a few brothers." As he spoke, he turned around and raised his arms, "Come here and see who's here!" ”
Song Yin's eyes suddenly darkened, and he saw a large string of five or six brothers, two or three sisters, I don't know what day it is, they are so complete.
Rong Shi was so happy, he was worried about the relationship between himself and Song Yin, now all the juniors of the Tong family are here, that's great, first recognize the relatives, and don't be unfamiliar with the 'door' in the future.
He raised his voice to call the hall, quickly add bowls and chopsticks, the Eight Immortals table can't sit down, change to a big round table! Seeing that Lord Rong was very busy, Song Yin stood aside and was at a loss. I wanted to come out for a meal, but who knew that when I met such a large group, they all squeezed their eyebrows and 'made' eyes at her, and she scared everyone stupidly, but it was like a 'rape'/love was broken, which was embarrassing. However, the family liked him very much, and the second brother Rong was replaced by the youngest Tongqing, who almost called him brother-in-law. Song Yin was awkwardly caught in the middle, and he couldn't get in or out.
Tong Qing turned her head and winked at her, "Who said that people were not good before?" I see that he is 'very' good, with a docile temper and no official pretensions, is the second sister planning to marry him? ”
Yes, she really wants to marry him, and since Prince Yu has agreed, I hope there will be no more accidents. She wanted to go over and beg Lu Run, asking him to speak well in front of the emperor, as long as the holy bow agreed, she could marry with great fanfare immediately. However, for some reason, she was afraid of offending Prince Yu, and her heart was hanging all the time, and she couldn't put it down steadily.
She smiled and turned her head to look at him, he was changing cups with Fogg, men of the same age, and they were very close together. She also compared, put him and her brothers together, he was the most outstanding one, and would never lose her face. She asked Tongqing softly, "Si'er, do you think he can still succeed?" ”
Tongqing said: "It's so done, it looks like a beautiful person!" I used to hear that 'Jade' was going to squeeze him, and I thought that this person must not be a climate, but I didn't expect to meet like this. It's nice to talk and behave well. I think it's so decided, we have four sisters, the eldest sister is dead, and the person who married is also dead, I don't see the appearance. As for the third sister, she entered the palace and went as a concubine, but her brother-in-law was half-pulled, and she was not her own person at all. The rest is you, find a good person, marry a good family, our sisters and sons will move around in the future, brother-in-law can't be bitter, I'm afraid that it won't be long-term. ”
It will not be scathing and mean, Tongqing is right, the rest of her, if she follows the Tao of Prince Yu, then there are four sisters, and three of them are in vain, and the long room is simply unmanned. She nodded, "Just him, I think he's 'pretty good' too." ”
Tongqing smiled, stretched out his hand with the cup, "Second brother, I respect you." ”
Rong Shi hurriedly stood up, holding the cup in both hands and returning the salute, "Thank you, fourth sister, I'll do it first as a respect." "It's the grace of the neck, the 'son-in-law' looks like this, and he is already impeccable.
They were making a fuss, Song Yin lowered his head and thought about his previous words, in the end, the matter in the palace was imminent, should she wholeheartedly join Prince Yu, or follow Rong Shi's thoughts, and take the opportunity of Guo Gui to give birth to a child to get rid of him? Both paths are risky, and both are subject to luck. This time, she didn't dare to discuss it with Amma, for fear that Amma would refuse, and Rong Shi would be in trouble. But if you promise him, what will protect the 'life' of the whole family? She suddenly felt that it was so difficult to live, the foundation of the Tong family had been smooth for more than 80 years, why did she 'make a mess' here? In the past, some people said that 'female' people were not good officials, but she was not convinced. Now that I am in such a predicament, I find that the 'female' official is indeed weak, because the extravagant feelings and official career go hand in hand, and often neither can be taken into account.
