Qingchuan Story 143

If Lin Yutong is a serious person, then the Fourth Master is even more serious and persistent.

After hearing Lin Yutong's thoughts, the Fourth Master held Lin Yutong's hand and said for a long time, "Only you know what I think. The burden of the world is so heavy that I can't breathe."

The Fourth Master's face showed fatigue for the first time. "I didn't expect that my heart was not as smart as I was holding the world's authority. I was always trembling with fear. Sitting alone on a high chair, I would be afraid and confused."

"Master..." Lin Yutong held the Fourth Master's hand back, "I'm busy for a while and I haven't seen it."

The Fourth Master shook his head, "How dare you let anyone see it? I'm afraid that you will be tired and torn to pieces by the person who pounced on you."

"No!" Lin Yutong smiled and said, "The late emperor has so many sons, but he only gave the throne to the emperor. That's because he can afford this throne. In the late emperor's heart, he is the most suitable candidate. But there is no perfect person in this world, and he can't do perfect things. I'm too demanding of myself and just wanting to be perfect. This is difficult for myself."

"Master, to be honest, I think the late emperor is your public interest in the world. In previous years, wherever you suffered disasters and where you were*, I always pay the most attention to it. As long as you have this public interest, you will be a good emperor. The eyes of the people are bright. As long as you have a clear conscience, why should you be afraid of it?"

The Fourth Master slowly lay down and pillowed on Lin Yutong's leg. "Every decision of my master involves the life and death of thousands of people. Can you not be afraid? But no matter how careful you are, you often make mistakes. The corrupt officials in the world and the mediocre officials in the world, I want to stop them and make the world honest. But it is just a fool. I want to make people drink endless porridge on the dinner table of the people in the world, which is also a task that I cannot complete in my life. I am afraid that I will work hard, but in the end the people will still be unable to eat. Sometimes, I wonder if I can really bear the world. I dare not slack off for one day, for fear that I will know the emperor and the wrong choice. I am afraid that my brothers will be despised and feel that they can be better than my brother. I am tired."

Lin Yutong slowly pressed his head, "Actually, I feel relieved when I heard that, because I am in awe. No matter what, a person who is in awe, will not be a big mistake even if he is wrong."

She didn't know what she was saying, and whether she could comfort him.

These days, he got up in the middle of the night and slept at the third o'clock. He kept spinning like a gyro. It seemed that there was always a whip whipping him.

"Is there something difficult in my heart?" Lin Yutong asked softly. Otherwise, she would not have been inspired by her own topic.

The Fourth Master said lightly, "It is said that the father should not have been said for three years. But I have to change my father's words."

This is a bit cold.

Lin Yutong didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

"The owed silver from the Ministry of Revenue was paid when Emperor Ahma was alive. But in the end, even 30% of them were confiscated. Now, Qinghai-Tibet is unstable and it is urgent to send troops. However, the Ministry of Revenue cannot remit silver. Even if we spend all the accumulation of Emperor Ahma and our years, it is just a drop in the bucket. Everyone stared at how many more official positions they could have when they went to war and how many rewards they had when they set out. But I don't have silver soldiers! Emperor Ahma did not take back the debt, but if I don't want it, can I convert the silver from where to fight this battle? No!"

"Over these days, everyone sees whether the reward I give them is generous, but only you turn the food in front into four dishes and one soup. Everyone knows that my past meals were like this. But no one remembers to return the money from the Ministry of Revenue."

"What can I do?" The Fourth Master sneered twice and sat up. "I am not afraid of the historical pen as a knife. I am not afraid of the world saying that I am mean and that I am not kind. I have to let them know that reputation cannot bind my hands and feet. I am not the one who ignores the overall situation of the world for his own reputation!"

Lin Yutong stood up, looked at the Fourth Master who was so angry that he was a little trembling, and slowly hugged him from behind, "No matter what others say, as long as you do it for the best of the world, I will do it. Time will prove everything, and history will give me a fair judgment. It is not anyone's slander, any dirty water can cover up your light."

"No?" The Fourth Master turned his head and looked at Lin Yutong.

Lin Yutong smiled and said, "No! Then everyone will love the Fourth Master."

The Fourth Master was stunned, what is the saying of "Everyone loves the Fourth Master"? But soon, the Fourth Master's ears turned red.

"Nonsense! What do you love or not?" The Fourth Master turned around and hugged her, "Why are you still so unrestrained?"

This is a venting irritation!

Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief first, leaned into his ear and said, "Isn't it okay to love the Fourth Master?"

The Fourth Master hugged her and tightened his hand, "Don't make trouble, wait... okay?"

Showing love and asking for love are different! Hello!

Lin Yutong remembered everything that the Fourth Master said tonight. The next day she asked the Queen Mother to discuss how to cut costs in the harem. In her opinion, this was a bit formalism, but even formalism had to be done.

The Empress Dowager naturally would not object. In fact, the Empress Dowager is not an extravagant person. She is very expensive in the palace, but most of them are rewarded. The old nobles in the palace are often there, and the old concubines without sons are not easy. The Empress Dowager still never stings with her own things and has a reputation that no one can blame. Even if there are more dishes at a meal, it will be more rewarded to her grandchildren. For example, Hongchen Hongpu and Yaliqi of Prince Li’s family, and the children of the Tenth Master’s family and the children of the Thirteenth Master’s family. These are all those who are not taken care of by their own grandmother in the palace. With the reward of the Empress Dowager, they are confident in walking in the palace.

Lin Yutong said: "The Empress Dowager and the concubines of the late emperor have not decreased at all. Only the concubines in the harem, including the prince and the daughter, have been reduced by half."

The empress dowager said, "Mine has also been reduced." Seeing that Lin Yutong was about to speak, she waved her hand, "How much can you eat? You can also reward other things. What's not okay with pen, ink, paper and inkstone? It's just to have an attitude. What's the point of rewarding is second."

Lin Yutong felt a little sad, "At this point, I still have to ask my mother to live a hard life with us."

The queen mother laughed, "This is not a bitter place!"

She patted Lin Yutong's hand, "Thanks to you who advised the fourth brother, and asked Hongzhao to get close to the fourteenth brothers. They didn't make a fuss. Fourteenth brothers are a villain, but the palms and backs of the hands are flesh. Parents are like this. Seeing that the children are living well, they want to ask him to pull out the one. But they have their own difficulties. I don't know this truth. But I have to do it with shame. Now, with Hongzhao inside, everyone will give the fourteenth more face outside. With you following the fourth brother, his temperament has become much softer?"

Lin Yutong smiled with her lips, "It's you who love me. You only feel good about me."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said it was very close, but the imperial study room was not so peaceful, as if the storm was about to come and the wind filled the building.

Master Jiu was a little nervous, "Long live my life... Fourth brother... This is definitely not what I handed over to me. It's a ghost, I don't know why I got it in my memorial's memorial..."

The Fourth Master glared, "This is the most deadly thing. You can't even take care of yourself, so why dare you do?"

What he was holding was a memorial sandwiched into Jiuye’s memorial.
