Chapter 668 Three in One(2/2)
The boy nodded: "That's what Jixiang said."
"How come someone who is so wise in the late emperor has met so many unworthy descendants?" Guo Yi slapped the table with a palm, "He is really timid and cowardly..."
The boy shrank his shoulders. The old man dared to say it, but he didn't dare to listen.
Guo Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it! If you don't listen once, you will always listen to it a few more times. Now you don't ask Li Cairen to show kindness. When this talented man really instigated the emperor to adopt his descendant and return, he should cry." The foundation of the late emperor cannot be left to the emperor, the one who killed his father and killed the lord, but it cannot be left to someone who is not the closest relative of the late emperor's bloodline. Now, the only one who is closest to the throne is the current crown prince. But no matter how he looks at this, he doesn't seem to be someone who can help him up.
The boy kneeling on the ground slowly stood up and whispered: "Maybe the prince's confrontation with Princess Duan may not necessarily have any grudges." Before, one was his legitimate mother and the other was his concubine's son. The relationship between these two was really not much better.
Guo Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "It makes sense for you to say this! But I was negligent and think of other solutions in the future." As he said that, he sneered, "Lately, we have other things to do. Chu Yuan, this old boy, if our family doesn't send him a long way, we can't see the late emperor after death."
The boy hiding in the dark shuddered.
As soon as the sun was bright, the heat came up. In addition, the heavy rain that had been rained the night before, the ground was wet. Now, when the sun shines like this, I feel that the air is wet and hot, making people feel uncomfortable.
Lin Yutong got up and took a bath, but after turning around and walking two steps, her body became sweaty and sticky again.
The Fourth Master came back from a punch and asked, "It's better to enter the palace as soon as possible. It will be even hotter later."
Who said no?
Lin Yutong frowned and looked at the sun outside, followed the Fourth Master and went to the bathroom behind the screen. While handing the towel to the Fourth Master, he asked in a low voice: "Did you go out again last night?"
The Fourth Master nodded: "It's the second half of the night, it's cool." Receiving the news is a tedious thing. You have to go out every two days. "Just just go into the palace, I'll explain everything outside. There's no way to make any mistakes."
Lin Yutong then turned around and came out: "You can take a break at home today, I'll go back."
"If it's delayed, don't run back against the sun. It's the same when the sun goes down before leaving the palace." The Fourth Master explained inside.
Lin Yutong responded from afar and took Sanxi and Manyue to the palace.
The back hall of Beichen Palace was built on the lake. So, when the weather was hot, Gan moved to the back hall to live. The windows in the hall were wide open, and the wind on the lake blew in, bringing a cool feeling.
Lin Yutong ate two ice bowls in a row, and was blown by the cool wind, which suppressed the irritation in her heart.
Gan quickly said, "I can't eat it anymore. Just that. It's enough if it's not hot."
In fact, there were not many ice crumbs in the ice bowl, and they were cut into diced fruits of various colors, and some ice crumbs and iced rose braised rice.
Lin Yutong smiled and changed the topic: "I guess I know what happened yesterday."
Gan nodded and said without surprise: "I guess you'll have to come here today, as expected." As she said that, she turned to look at Lin Yutong, "I have to remind you in advance. The relationship between the Chu family and Duke Jin's mansion is too close. You have to be careful that Chu Yuan is anxious to jump over the wall and expose Duke Jin's old foundation."
Lin Yutong smiled: "No! Jin Cheng'an will not give Chu Yuan the chance to reveal his true feelings." The letter that Jin Shouren gave to Jin Cheng'an was so timely.
Gan looked at Lin Yutong suspiciously: "It seems that I have found you a good son-in-law unintentionally." The outside matter is not something Tongtong can handle. There must be someone in the middle. This person, and this person, apart from his son-in-law, wouldn't be so trusting. It would be okay if the couple helped each other to live the life of ordinary people like this, but what if... they really had bad intentions? In her heart, worries flashed through her. It's still too early to think about this. When things really happen in the future, it's still time to teach this child bit by bit.
Lin Yutong seemed to have not seen Gan's worries and said directly: "I just told you in advance, look at the affairs of the Gan family, should I take this opportunity to mention it again?"
What happened to the Gan family?
"This matter... is time to mention it, but we can't mention it." Gan shook his head gently, "But it's really hard to find someone who can come forward. And you have to think about it carefully when it comes to the point of mentioning it. There is a late emperor in the middle. You can't let the late emperor bear the bad reputation."
"I know it in my heart." Lin Yutong said, and then muttered to Gan's ear.
Gan was really shocked this time: "Can you hold on to this person? If you don't do it well, he will be in a rebellion in the court, but it will be more than worth the effort."
Lin Yutong smiled and said, "Just put your heart in your stomach."
"Then I understand. The emperor..." Gan chuckled, "I will tell him to make up his mind."
The mother and daughter muttered for a while, but Lin Yutong still didn't spend time in the palace. "I'd better go home. Sooner or later I'll have to suffer this heat."
"You just have no conscience." Gan pointed Lin Yutong's forehead, "What can I do if I spend time with me in the palace?"
"The future is long! The future is long!" Lin Yutong said, and walked out. He brought a lot of beef tendons before leaving. He would braised it now and could be eaten at night. The Fourth Master has not had a taste of the past two days, and this thing is a good thing. Unfortunately, a cow hoof is about one pound. There are many noble people in the capital, and sometimes it is not his turn to eat it. The Fourth Master prefers beef and mutton in summer. The mutton is very dry, but the good beef is not good.
On the way back, Lin Yutong was still thinking about whether to set up a farm in the suburbs of Beijing to raise cattle and sheep.
Emperor Yongkang went to Beichen Palace after Lin Yutong left.
"What did the mother and daughter say?" He sat next to the iceberg and looked at Gan with a smile, "Did the beef tendon taste enough last night?"
Gan handed over an ice bowl: "Foot! It's crispy, rotten and chewy. But I've given all the tendons prepared in the imperial kitchen to Yunyin today."
Emperor Yongkang laughed: "What's this worth? Tell me so hard." As he said that, he put away his smile, "I'm still in the mood to think about food. It seems that she is in a good mood."
"Where is good?" Gan shook his head, "Tell me that I offended Prime Minister Chu yesterday, but Prime Minister Chu is an elder, and she seems to regret something when she returns..."
Emperor Yongkang stirred the ice in the bowl with a spoon and shook his head: "Junior sister! You didn't tell the truth. That girl Yunyin... wouldn't be really scared? She had a very good fortune, otherwise she wouldn't have spoken to the Ming place in front of me. Chu Yuan... Yunyin said everything right, he was indeed suspected of forming a clique."
"No!" Gan stood up, "This is not only a suspicion of forming a party, but he really formed a party. In fact, the fact that a party is really not a big mistake. From ancient times to the present, how many lonely ministers can there be in the court? If you only blame a member of a member of the three dynasties for the crime of forming a party alone, it would be a bit suspicious of adding a crime. If Your Majesty cannot tolerate such party groups, big and small, it would be without tolerance. But forming a party can be done, but not for personal gain! Chu Yuan not only forms a party, but more importantly, he is also for personal gain! This must be investigated."
Emperor Yongkang continued to stir the ice bowl in his hand, and the ice in the bowl melted a little. He was silent for a while before saying, "I don't know what you mean. But... if you don't die from the snake, you will be passive."
Gan's lips pursed, and then said, "I don't say anything to your Majesty. Yun Yin wants to attack Chu Yuan, which is indeed selfish. Jin Cheng'an took a step back, but the power he has been operating over the years has not yet emerged! Yun Yin is now a concubine's wife, and she is a princess. Our country can only be stable for a day, and her status will be prominent for a day. If Jin Cheng'an's secret plan is successful, she will not get any benefits. But once she loses, she will
It is implicated. Therefore, pulling down Chu Yuan means cutting off Jin Cheng'an's arms. No matter how much Jin Cheng'an has planned in secret, without Chu Yuan, I think it will not become a climate for a while. Although this is Yun Yin's selfishness, it is just right for Your Majesty. On the one hand, Jin Cheng'an cannot be careless, and it should indeed be pressed down. On the other hand, once Chu Yuan's power is uprooted, there will be many vacancy in the court. In this way, Your Majesty
Only by lowering the ministers you like will you. Moreover, next year will be Enko, and there are many talents available. Only then can you take out the position to recruit ministers. Only when the emperor and the ministers are truly fulfilled can you be realized. Otherwise, your imperial edict may not be out of the capital. Chu Yuan must be obedient and everything is easy to say. But at the critical moment, if he is disobedient, what should you do? The importance of the country and the country can be placed on a minister
I know that Your Majesty is worried, worried that others will say, "The cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys will cook, and the birds will hide their bows. Worry, others will say that they will burn the bridges. Why not, please listen to my idea first. You followed Li Cairen's wish and adopted Kim Sung-an's grandson. In this way, Kim Sung-an will be relieved of his urge to jump over the wall. In the eyes of outsiders, the one who really follows you is Kim Sung-an. It has nothing to do with Chu Yuan. Hasn't this father-in-law and son-in-law been unfamiliar with the outside world?"
Emperor Yongkang held the bowl that had been stirred into ice water and pondered in his heart. Gan said a lot of complicated things, but he could hear her true meaning from it. This woman is so smart that people are afraid from the bottom of their hearts.
She wanted to take down Chu Yuan, and she knew what she was thinking. The idea she gave herself really made her unable to refuse.
Adopting Jin Sung-an's grandson has many benefits for him: First, he comforted Lin Fanghua. This woman has the spirit of not giving up until she achieves her goal. Now he really can't live without her. Instead of asking her to get entangled, it's better to respond to her. It's not certain whether a baby can grow up. With Lin Fanghua's mind, he is not worried that she can make big waves. Second, he comforted Jin Sung-an. Or restrained Jin Sung-an. On the surface, he was rewarded, but he also grabbed Jin Sung-an's leg. At this time, he probably had to consider whether it was better to support his grandson as a grandson or to rebel. Compared with the risk of rebellion, it seems that supporting his grandson is less risky and has a greater chance of victory. After all, the prince
It was the sting in the heart of the emperor, he knew better than anyone else. Now there are only three forces in his palace. The queen, Gan and Li Cairen. In his opinion, Yun Yin is a princess and his daughter-in-law. Among the three parties, the prince and the queen will definitely lose, and no matter who wins, he will not suffer any loss. In this way, he really can't take risks. And his hesitation time is enough to find out what happened behind Jin Cheng'an. Third, take down Chu Yuan. As long as he does not care about Chu Yuan, it will affect Jin Cheng'an's sensitive nerves, then what else can hesitate? Clear Chu Yuan's power and promote ministers who are only loyal to him, and the entire court will be no longer constrained. He really has no reason to refuse.
As for Gan, she also gained a lot of benefits. As long as she promoted the adoption of her descendants, the queen and Li Caicai really became two opposing camps. She and Yun Yin and her daughter could wander away from both sides. Whether they were watching the fire from the other side or wanted to go up and join them, it depends on whether it was good for them. In order to make her daughter meet the prince, she enthroned a princess. Now, she has been pushed back by her way. One thing has returned to the starting point, and she seems to have lost nothing, but her daughter has earned the title of a princess for nothing.
