The concubine's son Gaomen 92

The imperial decree was shocked. As soon as the Gan family's will to ascend the throne, the entire capital was in an uproar. The Nine Gate had long been closed at this time. Before the throne was implemented, the Nine Gate could not enter and exit casually. What was circulated with the noise brought by the imperial decree was the appearance of Emperor Yongkang.

In the capital, the late emperor showed his spirit to teach the country and became the most popular storyteller in the teahouse. Some people said that the late emperor loved the beauty of Gan family and used the country as a betrothal gift to make an appointment for the next life; some people said that the late emperor and Gan family were deeply in love. The late emperor died young, but his soul was still by the side of Gan family and had to use the Gan family's hands to govern the country; some people even said that the Gan family was also the son of heaven, but it was a pity that he had a wrong daughter's baby, etc. No matter how it was circulated in the market, the only thing that did not have a wrong position was.

Looking at Shi Zhongyu sitting in front of her, Lin Yutong didn't believe her. How could she really have the same idea? The Fourth Master in history was said to have an incorrect position. What's more, when a woman in Gan had no foundation at all, this is not normal.

"To be honest!" Lin Yutong looked at Shi Zhongyu, "I have heard of it, where have the people who always disappear from time to time in the capital?"

Shi Zhongyu's face was a little unnatural, and she shook her head: "Your Highness, I really don't know. I just heard that someone spread rumors in the yard. Anyone who said something shouldn't be said will naturally ask them to go where they should be."

"Defending the people is better than defending the river!" Lin Yutong stood up and walked around the study twice. "If there are people with ulterior motives, you will catch them. But if there are some ordinary people here who are bewitched and said things that should not be said, should you choose to treat them differently? I think you should consider this matter carefully."

Shi Zhongyu pondered for a long time: "Your Highness, now it is an extraordinary time, so you have to use an extraordinary method. Take care of others for the time being and wait until the dust is settled. In addition, I am also involuntarily at the moment."

Lin Yutong nodded. Recently, there were suddenly some people in black on the street. These people wore scimitars and horse boots on their waists. They all belonged to Jin Chengquan's Shadow Guard. The Shadow Guard was secretly formed according to the secret order of the late emperor. But now when he exposed his head, he became a trump card in the hands of Gan. But it was different from the secret guards. The secret guard never showed up, but the shadow guard now has a bit of the style of the Jinyiwei.

She pondered for a moment, changed the subject and said, "From now on, you will not come to me. It is not suitable."

A hint of anxiety flashed across Shi Zhongyu's face: "Your Highness, your master has only called us temporarily this time, but before, he has already given us to Your Highness."

Lin Yutong turned the cup in her hand, wanting to refuse, but she felt a little stiff. Don't refuse, Shi Zhongyu and others' recent actions have not informed her of the so-called new master at all. She smiled and said, "Okay, you don't have to do anything else. Look at those scholars for me, and you have any news. This year's spring exam is probably a symptom. However, in this situation, I don't know how many scholars will stay for the exam..." Scholars have a sense of stupidity. They are stupid in their reading of sages. The Three Bonds and Five Constant Persons are imprinted in their bones. They call them women's disciples. They will probably feel humiliated. "As long as scholars don't make trouble, there will be no big trouble. So, you have to keep a close eye on them. Let's try to prevent problems before they happen. Don't wait until they really make trouble, but it's too late."

Shi Zhongyu breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to say goodbye.

When Shi Zhongyu left, the Fourth Master came out: "Your concern makes sense. I'm afraid that someone will make trouble with these scholars."

Lin Yutong sighed, and she really felt that Gan's current situation was not dancing on the tip of a knife, but dancing on the tip of a needle. If you have no foundation, you can barely stand on the tip of a needle. Even if you lift the weight easily, you will inevitably be pricked with holes. "Now I hope that there will be no mistakes in this throne hall."

Although they all surrendered, they were just to save their lives. They would stay in the mountains without worrying about burning firewood. The people who were kneeling down at that time probably thought so.

The two were talking and reported outside: "Prime Minister Guo asked for a meeting."

Guo Changhe? Why did he come? No matter what these ministers in the court think, they still have to do their jobs. The new king ascended the throne is not a simple matter. They have to mediate everything, and time is very fast. Why does he have time to come?

Lin Yutong was thinking, the Fourth Master had already gotten up to greet him, "You sit down. Now you have a different identity." He was so polite, but instead asked the other party to underestimate him.

"Yes!" Lin Yutong responded and sat in the main seat with a black line on her head.

When Guo Changhe saw Lin Yutong, he was about to give a big gift. Lin Yutong quickly stopped him: "Prime Minister. We are all old acquaintances, so there is no need to be so disgusted."

Guo Changhe also felt a little moved. Who would have thought that the young couple who came to the door at that time had the luck of the present. He bowed down and then took out a note from his sleeve: "Your Highness, this is presented by the Ministry of Rites. You can check it out first so that we can present it and ask Your Majesty to visit."

Lin Yutong took it without giving in moderation. Guo Changhe had to give him the face to the door. This was an active show of kindness. She took it and saw that it was the etiquette charter for the throne ceremony. It lists in detail what time, where, what rituals to perform, what to wear, what music to play, etc. It is simply all-inclusive. Even if you salute in a direction, there are clear regulations for a few steps to take. Lin Yutong is certainly familiar with this thing. She has seen many similar ones.

The emperor ascended the throne, enthroned the queen, enthroned the prince, etc. Although there are differences in etiquette, these memorials belong to the same type. Whether they were carefully prepared can be seen at a glance. Lin Yutong read it all at a glance, and there are examples of such memorials. It has only been a year since Emperor Yongkang ascended the throne, and the Ministry of Rites will never forget the process. The only difference is that Gan is a woman. Not to mention anything else, just dress is just a piece of dress, which is called the Ministry of Rites’ grief.

She read it and handed the note to the Fourth Master. Then she said to Guo Changhe: "The dragon robe is a dragon robe, what kind of dragon and phoenix robe? It's inappropriate. Your Majesty ascended the throne, so naturally follow the rules of association. There's nothing to discuss about?"

Guo Changhe glanced at the Fourth Master, and then said to Lin Yutong: "Your Highness, husband is the rule of wife, this is the rule of human ethics." The husband is naturally more noble than the wife. If Gan follows the rules of Emperor Yongkang, then is it still the rule of husband as the rule of wife? No! This rule of husband as the rule of wife cannot be broken, because before that, there were father as the rule of son, and even king as the rule of minister. If the husband does not as the rule of wife, does that mean that the rule of king as the rule of minister? This is definitely not a trivial matter!

Lin Yutong leaned on the back of the chair, and she never expected that the first trouble would be this. If she insisted on following the example of Emperor Yongkang, then these great scholars would have to say something. Even the saints could not follow the moral principles of the human ethics, so she could still become a wise ruler? She glanced at the Fourth Master and smiled at Guo Changhe, "Who is the Lord Guo, who is the superior and the prince consort?"

Guo Changhe was stunned for a moment, with a little embarrassed face, "Of course, your highness is noble. Although the husband is the wife's leader, before this, there was a king as the minister. You are the king, and your son-in-law is the minister, so naturally you are noble."

Lin Yutong smiled: "The Prime Minister said this, it can be seen that he is a flexible person. You are a sensible person, why are you confused at this time?" As he said that, he stood up and went inside. He stopped saying a word.

Guo Changhe looked at Lin Yutong's back and was a little surprised. He couldn't help but look at the Fourth Master: "Look at your highness, this is..."

The smile in the fourth master's eyes flashed and he mentioned, "The late emperor is the king, and Your Majesty is also the king. The difference between the king cannot be judged by the ministers. You take out the set of the late emperor ascended the throne and hand it over directly. This is the duty of being a minister, showing that he has an equal status in your heart for the two kings. This is your attitude. As for what Your Majesty will do after you hand it over, it is Your Majesty's business. If Your Majesty wants to persist, there will naturally be a way to deal with the blame. Your Majesty does not insist, but takes the initiative to take a step back. This is Your Majesty's humility and your Majesty's affection for the late emperor."

Guo Changhe's expression suddenly changed. Yes! That's it! He almost made a big mistake. His Majesty can think that he is not as good as the late emperor, but this conclusion must not be subordinate to his ministers. In addition, His Majesty is a woman and is in a sensitive period. She is anxious to find two typical examples to establish her authority. At this time, she dares to take this note and is seeking death.

He wiped the sweat from his head: "Yes! I'm really confused." As he said that, he glanced at the inner room and his voice lowered, "Second Master, look, is this going to try to make the princess happen in the future, or..."

The Fourth Master waved his hand: "Don't interfere in this matter, the more you get involved, the more chaotic it becomes." Whether Gan's family is the crown princess is basically no suspense. It's a big taboo to rush up.

Guo Changhe glanced at the Fourth Master and then looked inside, very frightened by the mentality of the young couple. It was time to do this, and he was still not arrogant or impatient. In fact, in his opinion, the princess naturally had already established himself as a good woman. Only by establishing her status can she act well in the future. Now, this ritual situation is very unpredictable.

Why didn't Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master know Guo Changhe's kindness? In Lin Yutong's opinion, if you have to give an example in the current court, it would be like a pressure cooker that puts it on the fire and even closes the valve. On the surface, the pot looks calm and does not breathe out without hissing, but as long as the fire under the pot is still burning, if the air in the pot is not spread out again, the final result is - Boom! It will be completely fried.

When Guo Changhe left, the Fourth Master asked Lin Yutong: "What do you think about the princess?"

Lin Yutong frowned, "This matter... has its pros and cons." The advantage is that it has all the status. In addition, Gan has no other heirs except himself, so this means that the princess has no competitor. As long as he is good at the second-in-command, there will be no accidents. The disadvantage is that if he does not want to plot against Gan, he can only tie him to Gan. The current situation is not something he can escape.

The Fourth Master said to the point: "Even if it is a big problem, you will not completely break you up with Gan. You have never meant to be an enemy of her, because of your identity, you can't really talk about her. Therefore, this so-called disadvantage is actually not necessary to consider it. You have been on Gan's ship. Even if you deny this, no one will believe it. Then, this disadvantage is that it exists no matter what you do. Since that is the case, it is better to focus on the advantage."

"You said you should try your best to be crowned the princess earlier?" Lin Yutong looked at the Fourth Master and asked.

"The Queen's Lady?" Gan sat on the dragon throne and turned his face to look at Madam He, "How could Madam raise this matter? How could I care about it now?"

Madam He was a little anxious: "Master, if you don't enthrone the crown princess, you're afraid that the royal family will not stop. Maybe you will still act under the banner of adoption."

"You love her." Gan frowned, "The princess is not that easy to be accused of. I will talk about this after the throne ceremony. When the court situation is stable, I will consider it carefully."

Seeing that Madam He stopped talking, Gan turned his head and looked at the note in his hand. However, his mind was still on the enthronement of the princess. Then he shook his head again, this matter was really not good!

The Fourth Master also looked at Lin Yutong and smiled: "There is an empress in the world, which has caused chaos in the hearts of the world. If the next emperor also established himself as a woman early, how can the men in the world be in love with this world?"

Yes! That's the reason. So, you have to come slowly. Only when people's hearts are calm and accept them, take the matter of the Empress for granted, can you mention the matter of the Crown Lady again.

"Then I don't understand. What is the benefit I can grab?" Lin Yutong looked at the Fourth Master in confusion and asked.

The Fourth Master walked to the edge of the desk and picked up his pen and wrote two words: "Assist in politics!"

Participate in politics?

Lin Yutong immediately realized that although the military power in her hand was in her hand, none of them was formally recognized. There was only one military supervisor. The generals who were close to her had to be the generals of the court. If the superiors took action and broke up these personnel, then what they could hold in her hand would become a pile of loose sand. Participating in politics was to participate in political affairs. And this matter, whether it was himself or the Fourth Master, had not stood in the court so far.

"It's time to walk from behind the scenes to the front stage." The Fourth Master said, then put down the brush in his hand. "Don't rush to get the title of Princess, just seize the power that Princess has."

A drizzle at night made the air become wet. The two pear blossoms in the yard were budged and bloomed at any time. Lin Yutong rushed to the palace early in the morning and met Lin Changgen at the entrance of the palace. Lin Changgen looked a little haggard, but when he saw Lin Yutong, he seemed a little reluctant to speak.

"Father." Lin Yutong still shouted, "What's wrong with you?" She looked worried.

"Your mother..." Lin Changgen's mouth moved, and he said for a long time: "Your mother really wants..."

How can you joke about this kind of thing? "You just need to be a good person." Lin Yutong comforted, "My mother will not vent your anger. But... from now on, she will be the king, not your woman."

Lin Changgeng smiled bitterly: "How dare I think so?" When the news came out, the old lady at home fainted. When she woke up, she was so scared that she was confused and incontinent. Aunt Ma, who gave birth to a concubine's daughter, hanged herself on the beam of the house with a rope last night. It was because she had slapped Gan in the face that year. And Aunt Zhao, both of whom wanted to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name as a sister. He was so worried that he would be in trouble.

Lin Yutong was stunned when she heard this: "What's the matter with me? My mother is busy. She can't take care of many major issues, who is in awesome to compete with them."

When he arrived at the imperial study room, Lin Yutong bowed and said these words to Gan like a joke, "It's a mess!"

Gan snorted: "They only regard a man as more important than the sky. They are precious, they even think that others are rare. If a woman falls to this point, it will be really pitiful." As he said that, he looked at Lin Yutong seriously, "You must understand this principle."

here we go again!

"We won't say whether this is OK." Lin Yutong waved his hand, "I don't want to be the princess nor the emperor. Long live long and live my life, so my life will be easier. If I have more blessings and walk ahead of you, there will be nothing to worry about."

"What nonsense!" Gan glared, "I'm not insulting!"

Lin Yutong laughed: "Bao, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bad, bad, good! It's OK now." She smiled very much.

Madam He brought the tea over, "Your Highness can't talk nonsense. The master is just you, how can you say that?"

Lin Yutong looked at Madam He and smiled, but did not answer her question, but took a sip of tea: "What a great tea! Make me some when you leave." She changed the topic and didn't match her at all.

Gan looked at Lin Yutong with a look, "Don't you really want to be the princess?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't!" Lin Yutong's eyes were calm, "If you really enthroned the princess, that would be really a fuel to the fire. I understand this principle, so don't make things difficult for you. I can't think about it!"

Gan sighed lightly: "I just don't know how to tell you, but I didn't expect you to have this enlightenment. But don't give up on yourself, this country will be given to you sooner or later."

Lin Yutong smiled again: "You are only 33 years old this year. If we don't say the empirical words of long live, life is a luxury for a hundred years. So, we don't say that you are a hundred years old. How old will I be if you live for fifty years? An old lady in almost seventy years. If I have a child in the past two years, your grandson will probably have even a grandson in fifty years. By that time, I will love whoever I want! Anyway, it has nothing to do with me!"

In fact, this calculation makes people feel helpless. If nothing unexpected happens, this is the case. Just like Prince Li who has been the crown prince for more than 30 years, what can I do if I meet a long-lived king? It’s all fate! Didn’t Zhu Biao live without Zhu Yuanzhang?

The Fourth Master said so much yesterday, but Lin Yutong realized it later. Grasping what he could, the other things really depend on destiny. No one can tell what will happen in the future.

Gan was stunned by Lin Yutong's algorithm, and suddenly felt inexplicably sad. He leaned on the back of the chair for a long time and didn't say anything. "What you said is so honest!"

The truth can always touch people.

"When you have a child, just call the child in the palace." Gan's wife was silent for a long time before saying: "I hope you will have a baby as soon as possible. If the first child is a boy, the rest will be easy to deal with. At least... those who clamor all day can see some hope."

Lin Yutong was silent on her face, but she knew in her heart that the Fourth Master had guessed correctly this time. Gan was hesitant about the matter of opposing her as the princess. From the current situation, she rationally abandoned the plan to be the princess. At the same time, she hoped that she would give birth to a son. Only when she had a son could she and she could be appointed as the princess. This gave court officials a hope. At least by the third generation, there would be a monarch they hoped for. This was also a way to ease the conflict. Even if she was mentally prepared, she felt a little uncomfortable by Gan's words.

Gan was a little sad, "If this is the case... you should live a good life with the prince consort. But don't be idle either. Now it's time to use people, come out to help the boss. You hand over all the things in your hands to the prince consort. From tomorrow, you... go to the courtroom Pavilion. Walk in the courtroom Pavilion, listen more, read more, and talk less."

Lin Yutong responded and saw that she was busy, she immediately sued her.

The rain started to fall again, and the drizzle fell on her face, cool. She became confused in an instant, fighting for the rest of the time, and now, what did she get? She stretched out her hands and was empty! There was nothing! She always felt that she was better than Gan, but Gan had always had clear goals. Once she had a goal in her heart, she would work hard to complete it. No matter what she would encounter on the road, she never looked back. She did revenge, and she also had power. What about herself? She was too busy and frustrated, and she turned around and found that her hands were empty.

Sanxi followed Lin Yutong and whispered: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Yutong laughed: "You said I've been busy with my time recently, what are you busy with?"

Sanxi was stunned and his expression became serious: "Master, you will know when you go to the street and listen. Now, who doesn't know the achievements of the master and the master. Saving the people in the war is made into a play and staged on stage. They didn't ask them to do this, they are all their own. Many people even set up temples for His Highness to worship. What you are busy with is a big deal! You don't remember, but others remember it!"

When Lin Yutong looked at Kong Luoluo's hand again, she suddenly smiled: "Yes! Nothing can be held in her hand forever. If you put it down, your palm will be empty." It would be better if you empty, and the empty space will be freed up. It is like a box that contains items. When it is full, it will never be able to hold it anymore. But if you want to be willing to pour out the original one, she will always have room for storage.

After returning, she sighed to the Fourth Master: "Power is really poisonous. I almost lost my mind and began to worry about gains and losses. Fortunately, I woke up in time. Otherwise, I would really fall into the devil's obstacle. Sin! Sin!"

The Fourth Master put down the book in his hand and stood up directly: "Change clothes! Come out with me for a walk." It is said that those who are close to Zhu, those who are close to Mo are black, and those who are always with Gan and think about Gan, her thinking is still affected. She has been forced too tightly during this period, and her heart is always held. The more you look at Gan's methods, the less she feels. She has never really relaxed. He stood up and hugged her: "We have more scriptures and more seen. To be selfish, we are just to live a comfortable and comfortable life. Although you don't work hard now, you may be sinking the ship with Gan. But don't carry all these on yourself. If you do what you can do, just have a clear conscience. Besides, there is Master here. Why are you nervous? You are different from Gan..."

"She is very awesome!" Lin Yutong's tone was filled with admiration, "There are few women who can do her job. I can't either."

The Fourth Master smiled and urged Lin Yutong to change his clothes: "Go quickly, let's have dinner outside today."

Lin Yutong chose a plain dress with crescent white clothes without any decorations, and followed the Fourth Master out. He took the carriage to the vicinity of the market. The Fourth Master pulled her down and then drove the carriage. The two walked all the way.

The streets are not as prosperous as before. After all, the nine gates are closed. Because of the new mourning of Emperor Yongkang, many restaurants in the capital are not open. However, small stalls, vendors, small restaurants and teahouses have to do business. The two chose a teahouse that is not clear, with only two floors up and down. Seeing that the curtains were old, they opened the curtains and walked in. The first floor was full, and there were no seats. The two were led by their second brother and went directly to the second floor. There were many people sitting in groups of three or three on the second floor.
To be continued...
