Chapter 131 Father's Plan

After Yi Fu heard this, he had to secretly praise, "Sharp eyes, such a delicate mind", if the young master inherits the title in the future, he will probably go farther than the Duke of the country, even though the Duke of the country is also He is very shrewd, but there is one thing he can't compare to the young master, and that is affection.If he was as cold-tempered as the Eldest Young Master, the situation would probably not be as it is today, and the young lady and young master in the Duke's Mansion could tolerate such bullying.

However, we can’t blame the Duke of the State for these things. After all, the Lord is also guilty of making the family feel guilty for insisting on standing up for the Li family’s affairs. The father-in-law focuses on forbearance and preservation.

Thinking of the dedication of the Duke over the years, Yi Fu sincerely hopes that the young master and the eldest lady can understand the Duke's heart, for example, this time the Duke heard about the prince, and he will blindly find it. The rare medicinal materials were sent to the prince by the hands of the fourth prince, hoping that the people from the prince's faction could help his uncle beat the side drums in front of the emperor. Although all the people here still have their own ideas, the prince This is the result I want, and if I don’t want to, it’s true, but the consequences are also terrifying, so why don’t they let them respond?

Thinking of this, Yi Fu decided to say something to the Eldest Young Master, so as to explain it to the Duke, so he nodded and said: "Well, the Duke actually took a lot of effort to find this medicine and prepared it for the young lady. Yes, later I received a letter from the young master saying that the young lady didn’t need tonic anymore, so I let it go. Later, the prince fell ill a few times, and the prince became concerned, and asked someone to find out about the prince’s condition. It happened that we The medicinal materials in his hand can be used, so the Duke of the country thought of finding an opportunity to send the medicinal materials out, so as to help the uncle, by the way, the young master knows the relationship between the fourth prince and the eldest princess, right?"

At this time, Shi Tao fully understood his father's plan, and he was moved unconsciously. He knew that no matter how much his father did, it was only for his uncle, but after all, he looked at his mother's face and remembered his uncle's affairs. In the past, he always let go of his dissatisfaction with making concessions at home, nodded and said: "Well, I know about my aunt, my father said it, but I want to ask, Uncle Yifu knows about my father How much? Is it convenient for me to ask some things?"

Yi Fu doesn't know what the young master wants to ask, but she will naturally say what she can say. As for how much he knows about the Duke, he really knows a lot, except for the things in Beijing that he helps the young master take care of. Besides this matter, there are some things that the young master doesn't know. Looking at the young master who I have taught by myself, I know that it is time to reveal some things to him. Besides, my young master is so clever, I dare not guess anything. want?It would be better for him to be more straightforward, then nodded and said: "Well, just ask if you have anything, and the master will naturally tell you."

After hearing this, he claimed to be his master again. Shi Tao knew that Uncle Ax probably planned to say whatever he asked, and he didn't intend to be modest. He raised four fingers and looked at the master fixedly, waiting for his answer.

Yi Fu looked at the four shaking fingers in front of him, and his heart shrank, this child is really incredible, at such a young age, he only thought of it with a little clue, this is a seizure of the heir!He really dared to think, so he darkened his eyes and asked without answering: "Why do you think so? If you know the brother-sister relationship between the fourth prince and his wife, you can explain why the master asked him for help. Just about the uncle, to put it bluntly." , the fourth prince and Concubine Ning in the palace are also very helpful, everyone has the same purpose, just want to help the princess and uncle, not necessarily have other thoughts."

Shi Tao has been persuading his younger sister to say that his father is in a dilemma, and his father's own considerations for how to deal with his younger sister and his situation in the mansion are actually not what his father told him, but Shi Tao guessed it himself, but in order to prevent his younger sister from worrying and He complained to his father, so he said vaguely as if his father had told him. In his heart, Shi Tao didn't want his sister to leave his father. After all, a woman had to rely on her natal father and elder brother before and after marriage. Insufficient ability, only by getting the younger sister closer to the father, the father can protect the younger sister more, and the younger sister can rely on her in the future.

I don't want to hear Uncle Yi Fu's words, although what he said was vague, but Shi Tao knew that his guess was right, Shi Tao's heart was really turbulent, this is not a small matter!One bad thing will overthrow everything, and my father is too courageous, so I naturally understand why my father has always kept his sister and himself away from his face for so many years. It can be fine, isn't the matter of the grandfather's house a special case, once the matter involves the royal family, it will not be easy.

Thinking of this, Shi Tao became angry and impatient, he could no longer care about his father's painstaking efforts for their brothers and sisters, and said in a very unfriendly tone: "Since Master knows, why didn't you tell me earlier, even though I am still young , but I grew up under the watchful eye of the master, could it be that the master still can't believe his own vision? This is too big, master, you should say it!"

Yi Fu had already expected that once he said it, the young master would definitely be anxious, but he was not to blame for that, after all, the matter was serious, and it would be great if the young master was not frightened, so he said: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't be bothered now." Let me tell you the same, but I believe you believe in the child I have been watching. To put it bluntly, whether you know it or not has nothing to do with the matter. Besides, the reason why the Duke didn’t say it was also for your own good. For the good of this matter, when the master chose to keep the eldest lady, he was already on the side of the fourth prince, although it may not necessarily be the party of the fourth prince, but others will never trust the master."

Shi Tao understands this, because the in-law relationship between each other is fine if it is just the in-law relationship, but at the critical moment, his father chose to protect his mother and favor the Li family. The Li family has an eldest princess who was brought up by Concubine Ning Yes, Concubine Ning is also the mother of the fourth prince. This kind of relationship has to make people suspicious. Now that I think about it, I don’t blame Uncle Hou for being estranged from his family for so many years. so close.

Shi Tao took care of the relationship during this period, and calmed down a little. He knew that his father had his own way of doing things. There must be his reasons for choosing the fourth prince. These things were really beyond his comprehension at the moment, so he calmed down. He lowered his tone and said seriously: "I won't ask any more questions. If my father thinks he can tell me, he must have told me a long time ago. Naturally, I didn't ask why my father ordered me to pick up my uncle this time? How much is involved? Did the fourth prince also send someone? In short, I just have to pick up my uncle well, and master, don't be embarrassed, let's discuss the business."

Yi Fu saw that the young master turned the corner after a while, and felt deeply that there were successors in the Duke's mansion, so he picked up what he could say: "This matter is actually not initiated by the Duke, but the Fourth Prince is mainly responsible. It concerns not only one prince, but also the handwriting of two or three princes. After all, the prince's illness is not once or twice. Not to mention that everyone in the court is uncertain, even the emperor has hesitation. After all, the country cannot be handed over to a A sick person, right? In this way, everyone will have a plan, and it is very important to win each other. Since you want to win, you must have an excellent bargaining chip, and your uncle is this bargaining chip."

Hearing this, Shi Tao really understands, don't ask other questions, his father holds a heavy army, and in his position, he must make a plan early, either after being neutral and waiting to be excluded in the future, or if others can't be wooed to frame him, then One is to find someone who has the ability and potential to take refuge in as a backing. His father probably thinks that the fourth prince is the most suitable. After all, his mother and stepmother's natal family are closely related to the fourth prince. At this time, he is a little lucky that the old lady did not Find another woman for my father to fill in the house. If the stepmother's natal family is related to other princes, it will be a bit difficult for my father.

Thinking of this, Shi Tao knew that although he thought everything was complete, there must still be things he couldn't think of, but it was enough to understand these things, and some things were left to be understood later, so he let go of this matter first, it's decided When I got down, I couldn't help but remember some unusual things I found when I was hunting with the emperor's grandchildren some time ago, and asked unconsciously: "Uncle Yifu, last time I saw that the son of the second master's family of Dingguo's family seemed to be the same as the prince's family. The emperor's grandson walked very close, what's the reason for this?"

Yi Fu sighed when he heard this, smiled and said: "The affairs of the Yu family are more complicated than our Shi family's. The second master of Dingguo's mansion is the brother of your stepmother's first mother and compatriot. The house was divided into another, and he married the concubine of the concubine's natal family, so she was closer to the prince. He should be regarded as a member of the prince's faction. The Lord and the Fourth Prince have been good since they were young, and they should belong to the Fourth Prince's faction, but fortunately, the Fourth Prince has always kept a low profile, and the court looks at this Duke Dingguo's mansion as a neutral faction."

Hearing this, Shi Tao understood, no wonder his stepmother didn't take advantage of her natal sister's influence at home, it turned out that her own brother belonged to the prince's party, so it can be seen that the uncle and the third master in the same mansion are not close, so naturally they are also It's my family's luck that I won't give her, an unacquainted younger sister who is a concubine, the stepmother dare to oppress her brothers and sisters without the support of her mother's family.

At this moment, Shi Tao clarified the relationship in the court, and then thought about what he knew in private. Although these four princes are not visible now, they are very stable. How can we look at it in the future!Knowing the whole story of these things, Shi Tao didn't get entangled anymore, looked at Uncle Yi Fu, and said: "Since the fourth prince has intervened in this matter, then he must not want something to happen to uncle, and now people who don't want uncle to go back properly Probably two or three. After all, the crown prince is at a critical juncture. If something goes wrong with the crown prince, the uncle’s return will connect the fourth prince and my father, which is not good for them. If the crown prince is well, uncle will go back. Naturally, it is the help of the prince, which is not good."
