Poor family mother and son

Chapter 992 Bathtub Meeting ([-])

Eunuch Li has learned a lot today, so what the fourth prince said is true!
Take a look at the big burden notes brought by the imperial doctor, those are all kinds of diseases he recorded in the past year, just the matter of being unable to breathe, he recorded the symptoms in three books.

Peeing can really kill people!
The water couldn't boil and the eggs couldn't be boiled!
My goodness, what did the guard say?Even the guards fell to the cracks in the rocks and died?
Tsk tsk tsk, Eunuch Li was speechless in his heart: Although the fourth prince cried and complained to the emperor before, it was a bit exaggerated, as if he had personally experienced everything, but in fact he just stayed on the mountain every day to watch, but that was the prince Ah, even if you don't do anything, just hang around with the laborers every day, it's not easy!

Didn't you hear what the guards and the imperial physician said, that Zheng Chunqiu couldn't bear it, he couldn't take it after staying on the mountain for a month, so he ran to the river beach to guard.

Although it is difficult on the river beach, it is much more enjoyable than on the mountain.

Eunuch Li felt sorry for the fourth prince at the moment: Although he is stupid, he is not as capable as Linyanghou, a woman, but at any rate, he has followed him from beginning to end, and he is also doing his duty.

The fourth prince was sent away by the emperor's wave, and he also wanted to go back to the bedroom to rest quickly, but he knelt for too long and couldn't move his legs and feet.

I found a corner outside the imperial study room to move my knees, and I was going to wait until the pain in my legs stopped before I left, when I heard Eunuch Li come out and order the little eunuch to pass on his guards and accompanying imperial physician.

The fourth prince couldn't help but smiled wryly: Except for the matter of treason, father would not believe one-sided words.

The fourth prince looked outside the door again, the snow was still falling, and the outside was vast and white, and he felt that the sky and the earth were connected together, and everything was gray and white.

Seems like something fell over?The fourth prince looked down - something fell down, it was a person.

The fourth prince was just about to call someone over, when he suddenly remembered who the fallen person was: Zheng Chunqiu!
Well, why is this fool kneeling here?Before it's time for the royal father to make a decision, who are you kneeling here for?Does the emperor know?
Although looking at this person is quite annoying, but thinking that the two of them have shared weal and woe for a year, the fourth prince kindly walked out and set Zheng Chunqiu up: "Hey! Don't sleep, wake up!"

Zheng Chunqiu didn't respond.

He heard it, but it was too cold and too tired to move.

The most important thing is that he should look pitiful like this, the emperor should be able to deal with him lightly, right?Anyway, he is also a third-rank member.

"It's freezing cold, if you fall asleep at this time, you will easily die!" said the fourth prince.

After staying in Voss for a long time, the fourth prince also has a lot of common sense in life.

Zheng Chunqiu still didn't move, he hoped that the fourth prince's voice would be louder, and it would be best to call someone over, so that the emperor would know.

"You want my royal father to think you are pitiful?" Seeing his eyelids move, the fourth prince couldn't help but sneered and said, "Don't dream, my royal father will only think that you are threatening him with your life and trapping him in injustice! Forcing the minister to death... Ha ha!"

Now, Zheng Chunqiu couldn't pretend to be dead no matter how cold or tired he was, but he really didn't have the strength to get up, so he was half-supported by the fourth prince and explained weakly: "Isn't the lower official..."

The fourth prince interrupted him impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, the matter has not reached the worst level, I will take you away while there is no one else, otherwise I will let my father see you like this... Humph!"

The fourth prince took Zheng Chunqiu to his bedroom and had someone boil warm water for a bath.

The current fourth prince is no longer as hypocritical as in the past. Isn't he just taking a bath, and there is no need for someone to wait on him.

The two of them each had a large bathtub, and they took a bath facing each other, and the maids and eunuchs did not use it.

Zheng Chunqiu sat motionless in the bathtub like a wilted sauerkraut, very decadent, but he was so decadent that he still had to listen to the fourth prince's magic voice——

"Hiss... ha..." The fourth prince hummed comfortably while soaking in the warm water. It had been more than three months since he took a bath, let alone a comfortable bath.

It's too cold in Voss. If you want to take a bath, you can't waste firewood to boil the bath water. With so many people, you have to save it for heating and cooking.

"Zheng Chunqiu," the fourth prince finally stopped moaning, and called him by his first name without politeness. Now he feels that he can call Xiaobao "My Son" willingly, and he is unwilling to call Zheng Chunqiu "Master Zheng", I feel that Zheng Chunqiu is not worthy.

The fourth prince said: "Thirty cars came back, and only three are real goods. My Highness probably won't be able to go in the next year! What do you think will happen to you?"

If there is no accident, the fourth prince has been grounded for a year and a half and he has not escaped. It is hard to say what other punishments can be given, but it doesn't matter what punishment the father gives, dear father, how can you punish?Always worry about the royal face.

There is a real so-called embarrassment. Among the princes, the embarrassment is too great, and the competitiveness plummets to zero.

Maybe the mother and concubine will also be ridiculed by other concubines and neglected by the father.

It's just a little reconciled. Anyway, I have been in the mine for a year, and I am familiar with the business. If I send someone else to go, won't the sins of this year be in vain?

The fourth prince's question made Zheng Chunqiu's decadence even more decadent, what do you think will happen?what else?

If you want to bring back only three carts of jade, Zheng Chunqiu feels that the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry cannot be kept. The emperor will definitely demote him to three or five levels, and let him find a tired and unprofitable department in the Ministry of Industry. Be a doctor or Yuanwai Lang.

Isn't the emperor always like that, if you don't do well, you will go to school after all.

However, insisting on disguising the three carts of jade as thirty carts is deceiving the king. I asked the order to undertake the jade mining. I am the chief official. If I deceive the king like this, wouldn't the main responsibility be on my own head?

But what can be done?He is a prince, and the royals have to save face, and they have to pretend.

With this pretense, the accusation of deceiving the emperor will not be imposed on the four princes. They are protecting the dignity of the royal family, but the emperor was deceived after all, and the responsibility is all his own.

Now that it's over, the official position must be rolled to the end, and then he will be relegated to some remote corner to be an official who feeds cows and herds horses.

Wasn't the first magistrate of Xinlunzhou at the beginning relegated to the official road in a remote mountainous area to become a postman?He also said that "since he likes to make connections, send him to the place where the door is the way."

Zheng Chunqiu closed his eyes, and leaned his head against the edge of the bathtub: "What can I do for an official? It's like bath water, it's cold!"

The fourth prince was very angry and funny: "You are frozen into a lump of ice, can you soak in hot water?"

In fact, the fourth prince's water is the same as Zheng Chunqiu's, it is also warm, not very hot, but they have stayed in Voss for almost a year, and they are very cold-tolerant, and they don't feel cold.

The fourth prince said: "We have been working for a year anyway. We have suffered all kinds of hardships and suffered all kinds of crimes. We have accumulated some experience; if we really can't continue, wouldn't we be making wedding dresses for others?"
