"Then this is really interesting." Lin Yutong closed her eyes, "I'm afraid that Prince Duan has left many things and people for the prince." Then, she thought of something and said as if she thought of it: "You said that what is hidden outside the capital is not a secret chess step taken by King Duan back then."

"It's possible." The Fourth Master opened a crack in the curtain and the wind poured in, "Look at it first. Don't worry."

Lin Yutong was not in a hurry, but when she arrived in the capital and entered the palace, she still reported the matter to Gan in private.

Gan nodded: "Jin Cheng'an is not a vegetarian. He knows what the emperor is doing for leaving him, so he will stare at the prince without blinking. We cannot make things difficult for the prince. We should also release some kindness at the right time. Since it is the prince, it means that the status has been established. Acknowledge orthodoxy and maintain orthodoxy. You will not suffer any loss at any time!" She just said a few words and then asked about the matter of Dacien Temple, "...I think of the person named Zhao Xun?"

This is not a question of whether you are optimistic or not.

Lin Yutong waved her hand: "According to the rules, if he can't pass the test... Then we will talk about the situation at that time."

"Only he will be more grateful to you," Gan said with a hint of reference.

Lin Yutong looked at Gan in confusion: "How do you say this?"

Gan pointed to the chair opposite and asked Lin Yutong to sit down, and said, "There was a prime minister in the previous dynasty named Yu Chengen. It was said that he was very talented, but he did not pass the Jinshi in the end. At that time, Emperor Gaozu of Yan promoted this person in an extraordinary manner. After Emperor Gaozu of Yan, Yu Chengen assisted two young masters after Emperor Gaozu of Yan, but was powerful but had no desire for the royal family. It became a good story between the monarch and the ministers. A while ago, I looked through many secret files left by the previous dynasty, and then it was revealed that Emperor Chengen did not fail the exam, but was suppressed by Emperor Gaozu. The chief examiner showed on his paper that he did not avoid his great-grandfather and removed his test paper."

Great-Great-Grandfather? How many generations have you been? What are you avoiding? This is a deliberate search for trouble.

Generally, when such problems arise, the examiner will help you and add a little to the word, even if he avoids taboos. You cannot block a talent because of this. This is actually tacit during the exam. This will not only not be held accountable, but also show that the examiner is humane and knows how to adapt.

But if you are like Yu Chengen, it is really not a bad luck or a lucky one. Obviously, what you can get must be kept in your hands in the form of grace. I guess if Yu Chengen knew about this, he would have the heart of Emperor Gaozu Yan.

She immediately understood what Gan said, didn’t she just want to press it first and then lift it up?

Lin Yutong waved his hand: "No! We should do whatever we should do? Fairness and justice are the most basic attitude. You can make so many millions of times more efforts in vain because of me. Everyone has their own persistence. Zhao Xun is not Yu Chengen, and Yu Chengen is willing to take on this grace, but Zhao Xun will not." Different people and different times, so the methods should naturally be different. She absolutely does not agree with doing this.

Gan didn't insist and asked Lin Yutong to bring a pair of bear paws home.

After Lin Yutong left, Gan said to Madam He: "This child is good at everything, he is too gentleman."

Not good to be too gentleman?

Madam He was a little puzzled.

Gan shook his head, and the ideal state is of course half a villain and half a gentleman.

I thought so in my heart, but it was not easy to continue this topic with Madam He. I just asked: "What did Lin Fanghua beat people to the Lin family for? Have you asked clearly?"

Madam He whispered: "In order to ask the Lin family to free up all the villas and support those poor students."

"She is really crazy." Gan said with a chuckle. "You are the one who does not eat food given by pity. These scholars can live in temples because the temple is under the banner of Buddhism and eats a bowl of rice given by the Buddha. But if you accept other people's meals, you must not. Look, you will be scolded if you can't fall well."

Madam He curled her lips: "That is, the old lady forced her to take out two farms, and the other ones, the woman Yun's family is not happy."

Gan passed by a smile, and was not in the mood to care about this matter. He only took the memorial handed over by the prince: "These people who participated in the prince's report are all related to Prince Duan's mansion. Now he took the initiative to throw these people out... It is a good move."

Madam He silently added tea to Mrs. Gan and went outside to guard the door.

Bear paw, one of the eight treasures, is not something that ordinary people can do. Even Lin Yutong doesn’t dare to try it easily, for fear of wasting such good ingredients.

I still found a day when the snow was clear, and took the chef to a villa where the Fourth Master bought in the capital.

In the villa, there were three or two plum blossoms in bloom, and the cold air was filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms. In the pavilion, sitting around the fire, the old wine was burning.

Guo Chang and Zi took a sip and said to the Fourth Master: "It's better for the princess and the prince consort to enjoy it. This wine is clearer than the century-old age I drank at Zuixianlou last time, but I really can't call it."

The Fourth Master didn't answer, and turned his face and poured another cup for Marquis Jing'an: "Try it, see if what I'm saying is false?"

Jing'an Hou smashed it and tasted: "There are no such fine wines in the palace, and rare good things."

When Lin Yutong saw that the three of them had already drunk, she asked people to pass on the dishes. The others were just, but the braised bear paw was extremely rare.

The four of them sat at the table, talking about food and drink, occasionally talking about interesting things, but never mentioning the affairs in the court.

In fact, Lin Yutong was confused about the Fourth Master who invited these two people to dinner. She didn't even remember anything that needed to be informed of these two people.

After drinking and eating, before leaving, Jing'an Hou pulled the Fourth Master and said, "Your filial piety is almost done."

It’s almost over for a year that my grandchildren have been mourning.

"It's better to have a child as soon as possible." Jing'an Hou laughed, "This person is old and just likes to have more children and more blessings."

The Fourth Master and Lin Yutong knew that what he wanted to say was not a matter of having more children and more blessings.

Only with children can some people think of leaning over. Otherwise, this princess will be a duckweed after all.

Because at this time, no one knew what Gan family planned. Even if Gan family really succeeded, it would be a problem that no successor would be.

The words of Jing'an Hou were reminded by kindness.

When Lin Yutong came back, she asked the Fourth Master who had been pondering: "What is the purpose of asking them to come today?"

The Fourth Master shook his head: "No, why! They can come, this is an attitude. Do you have to say anything else?" He sighed, "But it is really difficult for Concubine Chen to accomplish something! A woman who has been weak for thousands of years is not easy to ask a man to bow his head in front of a woman?" Even if Guo Changhe has received favors like this, he may not compromise easily.

He skipped this topic and explained to Lin Yutong again, "I originally wanted to contact several generals guarding the border through Jing'an Hou. Now... Jing'an Hou should understand what I mean, but just like he reminded, a princess, why... does not have such a position."

Lin Yutong then realized, "No wonder we are reminding us to have children."

But neither of them will use their children as bargaining chips. Therefore, we have to find another way to plan this matter.

When the two of them returned to the mansion in the evening, Sanxi came to report, "The warehouse had not been moving before, but I didn't expect that when I hit someone to clean up the snow on the roof, the tiles on the warehouse had been moved. It should have been turned over by someone a long time ago. I just don't know if this was done by the people in our yard or..."

Lin Yutong looked at the Fourth Master: "It seems that there are quite a few people who can use them. After touching things, we didn't even notice them."

The Fourth Master chuckled: "When the prince comes back, you have to find an opportunity to have a good chat with the prince. Duke Jin's mansion and Princess's mansion are two different things. Jin Cheng'an's attitude cannot represent my attitude. And my attitude naturally cannot represent the attitude of you, the princess."

This is true. It is a bit unfair to kidnap Kim Sung-an.

But when the prince returned to the capital, it was already November.

The palace issued an order to enter the palace because the emperor wanted to hold a welcome banquet for the prince.

Generally, the Fourth Master would not follow him to the palace. "I happened to deal with the matter of the Secret Guard Camp. Let's see where the people who assassinated the prince this time came from?"

Lin Yutong entered the palace alone.

The reception banquet was placed in Meilin's pavilion. Emperor Yongkang looked much healthier than before, at least his face was not as pale as he was, and he no longer needed to help him walk. It has been rumored in the palace recently that Li Cairen lost his life and the emperor would not spend the night. Therefore, Lin Fanghua, whom he saw today, was indeed a bit resentful look on his face.

The queen kept picking up food for the prince: "This child is sleeping in the open and has been out for several months, but he has suffered."

But Lin Yutong felt that the prince's eyes were shining with a different light, which was something he had never been trapped in the palace before. It can only be said that his gains this time were quite good. "My mother is too concerned, and her son is doing well all the way. No one will be wronged by his son. The face and pomp of the crown prince of a country are always wanted."

Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows. He would not have said the words of "the crown prince of a country" so righteously before.

It seems that he has slowly realized that the crown prince’s position in the hearts of officials and the people, and has gradually begun to enter this role. More importantly, he is afraid that he will come into contact with the power left by Prince Duan. Power and wealth are human courage!

She didn't show any expression on her face, but just ate the milk melons and vegetables that Gan had picked up by her silently.

Emperor Yongkang asked someone to hand over a plate of fresh strawberries to Lin Yutong, "This is from the greenhouse. I always feel sour. You young people have good teeth, how about it."

Lin Yutong received it. Before she could thank her, she heard Emperor Yongkang turn to ask the prince: "I heard that I encountered a bandit on the road? I was shocked when I received the report. I didn't dare to make a statement, just because I was afraid that my mother would know and follow you."

The queen's expression changed indeed, and she looked up and down at the prince: "Where is my son injured?"

The prince glanced at Emperor Yongkang and whispered to the queen: "Don't worry, my mother, the father gave the sons the right to act cheaply. How many thieves can withstand me?"

The queen's face looked a little better.

But Lin Yutong thought to himself: This right to act cheaply means that officials from all over the country can deal with it with him. However, the power to transfer troops is not within the scope of act cheaply. The prince has learned to block the emperor's mouth. Should this be an improvement? Or is he brave?

Lin Yutong ate a half-red and half-white strawberry, and after a long time of sucking, she didn't feel any taste. She ate seriously, but her ears and eyes were not idle at all.

She saw Emperor Yongkang's hand holding the spoon paused for a moment, and then saw Mrs. Gan take off the soup bowl in front of the emperor, "Eat the vegetables first, then drink the soup. Then drink the medicine, and the soup is full of soup." It seemed as if the emperor had just paused, just because of a bowl of soup.

Then, she smiled and prepared dishes for Emperor Yongkang, while saying to the prince: "Fortunately, the prince is calm and knows how to dispatch troops. Otherwise, the emperor will not be anxious. After receiving a memorial from General Zhenxi, she praised me for a long time, saying that Your Highness has courage."

Emperor Yongkang nodded: "When you come back this time, you should ask General Zhenxi to send troops to escort you back directly. Don't be so arrogant in the future."

Jin Yunshun nodded: "Yes! My son obeys the order." The most difficult thing, I didn't expect to explain it in a few words, and he really couldn't believe it. I don't know how many reasons I made up on the road, but when I came to Concubine Chen, I just said so lightly. It seems that it is really necessary to get along with Concubine Chen. As he thought so, he turned his head and talked to Lin Yutong: "What have the emperor sister done in the capital during this period."

Lin Yutong smiled with a pursed lips, placed the plate of strawberries between the two of them, and said, "Well, eat, drink, go wherever you are lively. There is nothing serious about it. It's very boring!"

Jin Yunshun immediately understood. This princess is not a serious royal family member. Generally, the royal family members may not like to call her together at a party. After all, the royal illegitimate daughter is also an illegitimate daughter. Some elders don’t like this identity. But she herself is not happy to go to the gatherings of the subordinates and women. They are all flattering, isn’t it boring?

He didn't know what he thought of, so he turned to Emperor Yongkang and said, "My son really has some ideas and was about to tell him to his father. He couldn't say that he had to bother the emperor."

Emperor Yongkang felt that Jin Yunshun had repeatedly tested his bottom line. A few anger flashed in his heart, but his face became more and more kind: "You are the crown prince, just say whatever you have. Don't be so careful."

Lin Yutong felt that this was a bit like a confrontation between the first and second leaders.

Jin Yunshun's eyes flashed, then put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "As soon as my son entered the capital, he heard a lot of rumors in the market. It seemed that someone had freed up other courtyards to provide food, accommodation and so on for the students who came to Beijing. My son felt that no matter what the reason was, it was a bit confusing to buy people's hearts. The method was not advisable."

Haha, the prince fired a fire at Lin Fanghua. Who doesn’t know that Li Cairen entrusted the old lady of the Lin family from a distant relative to sponsor the good deeds of poor students. Now, as soon as the prince spoke, he said that Lin Fanghua invited people to buy people’s hearts, which is really interesting.

Of course, the conflict between the two sides was something Yongkang Emperor was happy to see.

Lin Yutong saw that Emperor Yongkang's shoulders were relaxed and said casually: "What my son said is reasonable, so what should I do according to you?"

Lin Fanghua was about to speak with anger, but she was scared back by Emperor Yongkang.

Jin Yunshun stood up: "In the future, I can build a library in the capital to collect rare and manuscripts from all over the world. If there are those poor students, they can copy books in the library for three meals a day. These hand-written books are sorted and borrowed from the outside on weekdays. Or they can open the door to convenience for students who are interested in learning but cannot afford to buy books in the library..."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Yongkang kept saying yes.

Because this is indeed a good thing, if he wants to deny this proposal, he will not only be called a fool, but also offend scholars in the world. This is a proposal that does not work, so it is better to be happy and open your mind to agree.

The prince, relying solely on this proposal, established prestige among scholars.

Lin Yutong felt that the prince had truly stepped onto the historical stage of the Great Zhou Dynasty from this moment...
