Poor children

Chapter 175

一
For the past few days, life has been peaceful. The poor boy just sits in the courtyard to bask in the sun, sips tea, and reads. If the yard is clean, your life will be clean too
When Fang Shaoqin came last time, he said that he would go to the northwest to inquire about the whereabouts of other people when he had time, but he never had time. Jin Shun'er and Stickman had also been gone for a while, but the places they went to were far away and they were nowhere to be seen. Gotta come back so soon

That day, Zhang Yuhua met Sheng Rongwen and learned that the poor boy was back, so he came to see her in a hurry. It was indeed inconvenient for her daughter's family to go out, and they have not seen each other since that day.

During this period, the prince came again, bringing some snacks that the Queen Mother had given him. He said that no one in the palace had seen them, so he just sent them here. The poor boy kept the prince's dinner, and ate them all with his own hands. I did, and I asked some questions about the Tubo Kingdom during the meeting.

The prince drank a little more wine and felt a little depressed in his heart, so he said everything. Why does your majesty dote on the new concubine and not come to court? The two princes ignored business and were fooling around all day long. The other royal relatives and nobles ignored them. , but he couldn't hold it back and said it a few times, which naturally made His Majesty unhappy. Once he said it was urgent, His Majesty simply asked him if he wanted to sit on the dragon throne?If this continues, the country will not be a country...

An ordinary daughter would naturally want to persuade her father to be more patient and not to meddle in the emperor's family's business. The most important thing is to keep her own family safe. However, the poor child advised the prince to put state affairs first, and that your majesty is not diligent in government and is a minister and brother. Naturally, I should advise. After all, the country was built by our ancestors with real swords and guns. How can we allow women to harm the country? Without long-term governance, it will not be stable for a long time. If your Majesty does not listen to the advice and goes to the Queen Mother to tell you, then go and kneel in front of His Majesty’s chamber. Contact those who are willing to express their opinions and make suggestions. If we unite as one, we must remove the beloved concubine before Your Majesty can take care of state affairs again. This is the right way...

The prince felt that what the pauper said was reasonable, so naturally he heard it in his heart and did what he had to do. His Majesty, hindering the pressure from the Queen Mother and the Qingliu people, lowered the rank of the beloved concubine one after another. The prince naturally did not comply. Unforgiving, in the end the Queen Mother personally took action and died with a white silk ribbon. From then on, Your Majesty naturally cared more about the affairs of the country, but he kept the prince's hatred in his heart.

After some time, the poor man again advised the prince to advise the two princes to study more and pay more attention to business, instead of just eating, drinking, having fun and playing with crickets. He accidentally married two princes again. The prince's hatred

In the past few days, the poor boy visited shopkeeper Xu again and asked him to find some gossips.
After a few days, it was widely spread in the capital that the two young masters of the fourth prince's house were excellent. No matter in terms of appearance, ability, or literary or military skills, no one could match them, not to mention the princes of the prince's house in the capital. Even the princes in the palace could not match them. I can't see their necks, but it's a pity that they were not born into an emperor's family. They are definitely among the best, no one can match them...

Some time later, Wuer heard news from the kitchen that the old lady in the mansion was ill. When asked why, she just said that she was angry and had been lying in bed for some days. The doctor in the capital asked her to help. After all the treatments, there was no improvement. I went to ask the imperial doctor, but the imperial doctor Gongsun was sluggish and refused to come. There was a bit of chaos in the mansion.
Asked again about the cause of the illness, they said that when the two young masters were born, they sent people to invite the old gods, but the old gods refused to come. I thought it was because the old gods just didn't want to go down the mountain. Who knew that they were actually taken to the house of the old minister two days ago? Please go to the water and land dojo, the old lady got the news that day and started to be depressed, who knows that Mrs. Shangshu came to the door the next day to show off, and even intentionally or unintentionally told the reason why the Four Princes' Mansion couldn't invite the old gods down the mountain, what did you say? The heart of a wolf can be punished, and every rebellious house has a curse...

After hearing these words, the old lady felt dizzy, but she couldn't argue with her anymore. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shangshu said, I heard that there were rumors in the market that the sons of the fourth prince's family were stronger than the princes, and that was the destiny of the emperor. I don’t know if it’s the common people in the market who are talking nonsense, or if the owner himself has such thoughts...

Mrs. Shangshu had just left the house with her front legs, and the old lady spat out a mouthful of blood and lay down. If this were normal, when they heard that the old lady was sick, the people who came to visit would not be crowded through the threshold, but now even The seven old princesses all said they were sick and did not dare to come to see them.
The wind blows the grass on the wall, which way it falls...

After all, this world is the world of emperors, and emperors are emperors. How can you pull off the dragon's beard at your fingertips?Even if he is his own brother, the ruthless emperor might not be able to recognize him...

"Miss Wu'er, Miss Wu'er..." When Wu'er came out of the courtyard of the palace, she heard someone calling her to look around. She found Mr. Lin from Linqu City standing outside the gate of the courtyard where they lived.
"Master Lin!?" Wu'er never expected to see him here, "Why are you here?"

"Is Your Highness here?" Master Lin asked, rubbing his hands.

"Yes! I just had lunch and am basking in the sun in the courtyard." Wuer replied, "Master Lin, please come in and talk about something. My master will be happy to see you."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lin smiled and agreed to follow Wu'er into the courtyard. After walking straight into the courtyard three times, he saw the pauper sitting in a rocking chair reading a book. Mr. Lin hurriedly took two steps to the pauper and called out in a low voice, " Your Highness..."

Hearing this, the pauper hurriedly put down his book and saw Mr. Lin standing beside him. He quickly sat up and said, "Mr. Lin! Why are you here? Have you had lunch?"

"I came in a hurry today and haven't eaten yet..." Mr. Lin felt embarrassed as he spoke.

"Wu'er, go quickly! Get Master Lin something to eat." The poor boy hurriedly ordered Wu'er to prepare the meal, and then hurriedly asked Master Lin to sit down. "When I came back from Linqu, you were still in the capital to deliver the Turkic letter of credence. , I thought you should have gone back after all these years..."

"It was time to go back, but something happened when I was about to leave. Later, I vaguely heard that His Highness had returned at the posthouse, but I couldn't tell whether it was true or not, so I asked around, and it took a lot of effort to find here. "Your Majesty Lin hesitated for a long while and said, "Is it not good for Your Highness to live in my house? I know my wife, if there is anything wrong with her, you just don't get angry with her for the sake of being a low official. , she was originally a rough person..."

"That's not the reason," the poor man said with a smile, "it's just that my father and aunt were worried about me. I couldn't do anything there, so I came back first. Mr. Lin is devoted to me. The poor man will remember this kindness."

Mr. Lin was very moved by what Paoer said, "To put it bluntly, His Highness called me brother in front of the city gate that day, and I no longer regarded His Highness as an outsider. If there is any need to be lowered to an official position in the future, Your Highness will Just follow the instructions..."

Hearing the words, the poor boy thought to himself for a while and said, "There is one matter right now, I don't know to entrust it to the adults, will the adults be willing?"

"There's nothing you don't want to do. Just do whatever your Highness orders you to do," Master Lin replied.
While the two were talking, they saw Wu'er bringing food, and Pao'er said, "Let's eat first. Let's talk about it after we finish..."
