Brother Jia Sheshu of the Red Chamber

Mo Gu didn't take the incident of meeting the third prince and the fourth prince seriously, but it was impossible for the third prince and the fourth prince not to take it seriously. As soon as the fourth prince returned to Renjun Palace, he discussed the matter with his staff in the study.

When Staff He heard this, he couldn't help frowning. Obviously, like the fourth prince, he thought of many things in an instant.

Staff member He said with some regret: "If people know that the fifth prince is still alive, then the eldest prince's lineage will be proud again."

Back then, the Holy Majesty kept it secret for the sake of the First Prince's reputation, but after the death of the Fifth Prince, Concubine Hui was suddenly demoted to Concubine Hui, and the sudden discord between Concubine Zhen and Concubine Hui was noticed by everyone.

The prince even took advantage of this incident to bring down the eldest prince's lineage. After all, who would dare to get close to a person who is so cruel to his own underage brothers.

The eldest prince has been idle for several years, even the third prince who is the least enterprising can get a vacant position in the Ministry of Rites, only the eldest prince is still idle in Jingjun Palace, if the fifth prince is still there, then the eldest prince The matter of the prince's brotherhood is self-defeating. At that time, the situation in the court may be muddied again.

Staff member He suggested: "Your Highness, this matter is beneficial to us."

"Advantageous!?" The fourth prince frowned dissatisfiedly, "If Eldest Brother comes out and favors the people who belong to Eldest Brother's lineage in the Central Plains and favor Elder Brother, how can I have a foothold?"

Back then, because the eldest brother was rejected by his father, he was able to fish out of troubled waters and absorbed a lot of connections from the eldest brother. If after the eldest brother recovers, as the eldest son of the eldest brother, his uncle Ye Minggui is also the Minister of the Ministry of War. If he favors the elder brother, there is no place for him to stand.

"Fourth Highness!" He advised, "The water is muddy, so it's easy to catch fish!"

The fourth prince's heart moved slightly.

Staff member He sighed: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly. Although Mr. Zhang Ge belongs to His Highness's wife's family, Zhang Ge is only loyal to the Holy One and does not give His Highness much help. His Highness also has no mother family to help. Over the years... the court has been It is □□ dominant, we have worked really hard to support it, if there is an eldest prince who can help divert the attention of the prince, we can also take the opportunity to develop in private."

"This..." The fourth prince still hesitated a bit, "I'm afraid that the tail will not fall off, and it will be for nothing at that time, big brother."

He could vaguely see that the royal father was becoming more and more dissatisfied with the prince, and that he protected him a lot on weekdays, so he was able to survive under the siege of the prince's line until now. If the elder brother came out, the royal father would no longer treat him Maintenance, I'm afraid that he will be forced by the crown prince to hide in Renjun Palace like a big brother at any time.

"Your Highness, you don't need to worry." He's aide is quite confident about this, "The Holy Majesty is also a father after all, and His Highness has a precedent of harming brothers. Regardless of success or failure, the Holy Majesty will not choose His Highness as the king."

Only those who are fathers will understand this kind of feeling. Although the Holy One is the Holy One, he is also a father. Even if the fifth prince is not dead, the eldest prince almost killed his brother. It is possible to establish the eldest prince as the king and watch other sons being murdered by the eldest prince.

The fourth prince calmed down slightly, although he still didn't understand what it means to be a father, but his father has always been kind, and he would not want other brothers to be killed by the eldest brother one by one.

"There is one thing that my subordinates really can't figure out." Staff member He pondered: "What is the relationship between the fifth prince and the boss of Jinjiang?"

The fourth prince pondered: "Could Xiao Wu be the boss of Jinjiang?"

"This matter is unlikely." Staff member He shook his head and said: "As far as I know, the boss of Jinjiang is surnamed Mo, not a disciple. With the temper of the saint, it is absolutely impossible for the fifth prince to change his surname. Even if it is a pseudonym, he should His surname is Zhen, how could he be surnamed Mo?"

The surname Zhen can still be said to be from the mother's surname, and the surname Mo is completely irrelevant. Isn't it because he is cuckolding himself? This kind of thing is impossible for any man.

The fourth prince pondered for a moment, "It seems that the boss of Jinjiang has someone else."

It was also when he saw Xiao Wu and heard the old shopkeeper say that he would leave the box to the boss of Jinjiang, so he thought of the two together.Thinking about it, how could Xiao Wu be the boss of Jinjiang? With Xiao Wu's temperament, it would be good if he could take care of himself. He might be able to manage such a large property, even with the help of Mo Yuanda, it would be extremely difficult.

Thinking about the boss of Jinjiang being someone else, and thinking about the reaction of the third brother, the fourth prince couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly. He always felt that the boss of Jinjiang would be someone absolutely unexpected to him.

For some reason, the Fourth Prince suddenly didn't want to get acquainted with Boss Jinjiang very much.

Seeing that the fourth prince's face was turning green and pale, He's staff wondered, "Your Highness?"

"It's nothing." The fourth prince quickly suppressed the uneasy premonition just now, and said in a deep voice: "I will go to the palace immediately and report to my father about my encounter with Xiao Wu."

"Wait a minute, Your Highness!" He advised, "Don't worry for now."

The fourth prince raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why?"

Staff He said with a smile: "This matter will inevitably offend the prince. His Royal Highness is already in a very difficult situation. Naturally, let the third prince do better."

Besides, with the temperament of the third prince, I'm afraid they are ready to go to the palace to talk, so why should they bother.

After pondering for a while, the fourth prince also smiled and said: "What the aides said is very true."

With the third brother's temper, I'm afraid he couldn't help but go to the palace to talk about it, so why should he bother, just wait here.

In addition... Thinking of the eldest brother who has been depressed in the Jingjun Palace for many years, the fourth prince's heart moved. Maybe it's time to sell it to the eldest brother. Even if it doesn't work, at least it will leave a good impression of a friendly brother in the heart of the father. .

The fourth prince had thought that the third prince would enter the palace the next day to report this matter to his father, but he never expected that the third prince hadn't entered the palace for several days, and when he inquired secretly, he fell ill from fright!

Regarding this, the fourth prince was also speechless. He knew that the third brother had always been useless, he was afraid of his wife, and so far he didn't even dare to accept a concubine. That's all, but he never expected that he would become sick from fright because of seeing Xiao Wu! ?

He didn't believe that the third brother would not notice that Xiao Wu was alive. If he was scared sick by a dead person, he wouldn't be able to say anything, but now he can still be scared sick by a big living person. Besides, what else can I say.

The staff member He was speechless about this, so he could only think of another way, to find a way to pull the fifth prince to the table, and make the water in the court even more chaotic.

In fact, the fourth prince and others really misunderstood the third prince. He didn’t only see Xiao Wu, but also Xiao Liu. In the middle of the day, Mo Er sprinkled two handfuls of poisonous powder on him. Isn’t this really sick? .

The third concubine didn't understand the reason at the beginning, she thought that he would get sick after running for a few laps, and even ridiculed him for being weak, not even as good as a child, but seeing that the third prince was seriously ill, she was a little anxious, and hurried to go The palace begged Concubine Li to send an imperial doctor to come down and have a look.

Don't think the third prince is useless in the court, but he is a good person. There are some friends inside and outside the court. Not only did every prince send gifts, even his cousin Ma Chang'an came to visit him specially.

At this time, Ma Chang'an was no longer the little second grader who chased Mo Yuanda for trivial matters, and was always waiting to put someone's bag on him.

Not long after the third prince got married, he also got married, and his wife was quite different from the third prince's concubine. The prince is much better.

Looking at the third prince who was seriously ill, Ma Changan also said that he was beaten by the third prince and concubine so hard that he couldn't get out of bed, and said sympathetically, "What did you do this time? How did you get beaten so badly? According to me, you can't get out of bed." Don't always think about bringing people back to the mansion, wouldn't it be good to just keep them outside as an outer room?"

His prince's cousin is good at everything, but the prince and concubine he married is a little... ahem... cruel!

Until now, there is only one wife in my cousin's room, not even a concubine, and the third prince is not unintentional, but the end result is the same, the woman fights out, and the man pulls back into the room to continue beating. The third concubine gave birth to three sons in a row for the third prince, and even Empress Li was partial to her.

According to him, if this is the case, it's better to keep the woman outside the mansion as a concubine. No matter how domineering the third concubine is, is it possible that she can still be domineering outside?Concubine Li doesn't care, but it doesn't mean that the Holy Majesty will see the third prince ashamed and thrown out of the palace.

Hearing the words, the third prince had a dark thread. Could it be that he was going to be successful because of this idea, so he must be beaten by his wife when he was sick?Can't be really sick?

The third prince said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? From where did I know a woman to be a concubine?"

You can't talk nonsense about this, if his wife hears it, he's afraid he'll be beaten again.

"Get it! Get it!" Ma Chang'an comforted casually: "You don't know any women, you are really sick."

He asked the servant to offer a box of Jinjiang pills, "Don't say that my brother is not dedicated, I bought you a whole box of Jinjiang pills, which is enough for you."

The third prince secretly said, "I have already said that I am not beaten this time, but really sick."

"Come on!" Ma Changan glanced at him, "You're really sick and talk so angry!?"

"Huh!" When Ma Chang'an said this, the third prince also noticed that he was still sick two days ago, as if he was going to die, why is he feeling better today.

What was wrong, the third prince also recalled, "I think it made you angry."

Is it possible that this is called Qi Qi, and all diseases disappear?

"..." Ma Chang'an was speechless, as expected, the prince is the most annoying existence.

Although the cousin Ma Chang'an was considerate, he even specially sent Jinjiang pills, but looking at the Jinjiang pills, the third prince immediately thought of Jinjiang Tower, and his face darkened.

After a long time, the third prince mustered up his courage, and asked in deep thought: "Are you familiar with Mo Yuanda?"

This Mo Yuanda is rumored to be the boss's domestic slave of Jinjiang. Although he was released, he has been helping to manage Jinjiang's property for many years.

If he hadn't put a lot of thought into the Jinjiang industry over the years and couldn't concentrate on the imperial examination, with his talent, he should have passed the Jinshi exam three years ago, and he didn't have to wait until today. Maybe he knew Another little six thing.

Although the third prince was terribly frightened, but as a prince, he still had the IQ that he should have. After thinking about it for a while, he guessed that the person might not be Xiao Liu, but someone who looked very similar to Xiao Liu. But how can someone look so similar for no reason?

Ma Chang'an coughed in embarrassment, "Barely familiar."

Ever since he was scared away by the people upstairs in Jinjiang last time, Mo Yuanda seemed to have changed his temper, and suddenly came to block him from time to time, and insisted on asking him to tell why he was scared away at that time.

At first Ma Chang'an was reluctant to say it. After all, apart from knowing that the man looked like the sixth prince, he only knew a little about others, so he dared to speak nonsense, but Mo Yuanda could not coerce him, so he finally told what he knew.

Although Ma Chang'an didn't know much, it was enough to scare Mo Yuanda into a cold sweat. Since then, he and Mo Yuanda had less contact with each other, but although the two did not communicate, they were still clear about each other's affairs.

Because of his father's shade, he was able to enter the court as an official, while Mo Yuanda was admitted to the imperial examination after wasting a few years. Now he is the number one scholar, and his future is boundless.

Thinking about hearing that the boss of Jinjiang intends to develop in the capital recently, Ma Chang'an rubbed his chin, wondering if the man who looks like the sixth prince will also come to the capital, if he bumps into several princes...

Thinking about how the princes would be as frightened as he was then, Ma Chang'an couldn't help laughing wickedly.

The so-called solitary happiness is not as good as all the happiness, how dare he see the ghost alone, he should have more people to accompany him to the ghost.

Ma Chang'an's smile was too weird, which immediately aroused the suspicion of the third prince. The third prince wondered, "You have a weird smile, what's the matter!?"

Ma Chang'an replied awkwardly: "Cough, it's nothing."

Can it be said that he expects everyone to go to hell together?

The third prince has known him for many years, and once he saw Ma Chang'an's expression, he knew something was wrong, Hu asked, "Did you know something?"

"No!" Ma Chang'an quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know anything."

Even though he said so, Ma Chang'an had a strange expression, clearly there was a ghost.

If he didn't say this, the corners of his mouth would be smiling or not, as if he was going to cramp, the third prince would believe him, but after he said this, the third prince still didn't understand what Ma Chang'an knew.

The third prince jumped up from the bed angrily, "I treat you like a fucking brother, you didn't tell me such an important thing!"

Seeing Ma Chang'an's strange appearance, he must have known about Xiao Liu's affairs long ago.

Ma Chang'an was embarrassed, "You don't even know how many brothers you have, and I, an outsider, can talk a lot."

What he said made sense, but the third prince was speechless.

"Hmph!" The third prince said dissatisfied, "Anyway, it's wrong for you to bully me over such a big matter."

Ma Chang'an knew he shouldn't, so he hurriedly accompanied the third prince, Ma Chang'an said in pain, "I want you to have another banquet at Jinjiang Tower."

This Jinjiang Tower is one of the best restaurants in the capital, and a banquet costs at least a hundred taels of silver, and his monthly salary is only 20 taels of silver. Eating such a meal will make him poor for several months.

"One meal is not enough!" The third prince bargained: "At least two meals."

"Success, no problem." Ma Changan breathed a sigh of relief, as expected, there is nothing that can't be solved with one meal, and if there is, then another meal.

"However, how should we deal with this matter?" Ma Chang'an asked in a low voice: "That person is in Beijing right now, so people will always notice it. Besides, as far as you said, that person looks somewhat similar to the fourth prince. Besides, The matter of the fifth prince..."

Ma Chang'an felt a headache after thinking about it for a while, "It's really difficult."

They are not the only ones with sharp eyesight in the capital. The fifth prince was still young when he died, and he had not seen many people in the court. Except for a few close relatives, he might not be able to recognize him, so that's all.

But the fourth prince is a well-known kindhearted county king, and there are quite a few people who know him in the court. If that person is really like what the third prince said, and he is quite similar to the fourth prince, sooner or later people will notice a thing or two.

Speaking of this matter, the third prince had a headache. Ma Chang'an only knew one thing but not the other. Not only did he look like the fourth and sixth children, but he even looked a bit like his father. No wonder others said that this child You can't steal your life.

It's fine if he doesn't know about it, but since he knows, he, the older brother, has to ignore it, plus Xiao Wu who lives under the fence, thinking about Xiao Wu's temperament, the third prince is always a little bit worried.

After pondering for a long time, the third prince said: "Since you know Mo Yuanda, can you introduce me to him?"

Although he intends to report this matter to his father, he also knows that the prince must not be mistaken, but he must make it clear first.

"I'm afraid it won't work for a while." Ma Chang'an shook his head and said, "Mo Yuanda will get married soon, and he's busy these days, so come out when he's free."

For the sake of getting married, Mo Yuanda even stopped all the usual literary and poetry meetings, which shows how much he attaches importance to this marriage.

Thinking of this, Ma Chang'an's heart moved slightly. Although this Mo Yuanda had not entered an official position before, he had quite a bit of literary fame. The Great Confucianism has faintly become the representative of the new generation of Yingtian Academy, and he seems to be a little too ostentatious given that he has not yet entered an official position.

Could it be that he has another purpose, yes, if that person is really the prince and intends to seize the heir...

For a moment, Ma Chang'an broke into a cold sweat secretly, feeling that his brains seemed a little too big.

"That's it!" The third prince, who was also married before, understood in seconds. Although his mother and concubine were the busiest when he got married, he was not easy to go there. The things about him... are all waiting for him to deal with. At that time, he was so busy that he almost didn't touch the ground. He couldn't be free for a moment, so there was still time.

The third prince nodded slightly, "Then ask him out after he gets married."

Huh!etc!The third prince suddenly thought of something. Since Xiao Wu and the person who looked like Xiao Liu had a good relationship with Boss Jinjiang, they might attend Mo Yuanda's wedding. Several princes also wanted to take the opportunity to make friends with him.

If only one prince went to drink the wedding wine, it would be too conspicuous, and might cause dissatisfaction with the father, but what if all the princes went?

Thinking of the situation where all the princes would be scared and screamed by Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, the third prince couldn't help laughing smugly.

At this moment, the brain circuits of the third prince and Ma Chang'an were synchronized. What's the point of seeing a ghost if only the two of them have seen a ghost? Naturally, everyone should see a ghost together.

The third prince and the fourth prince suddenly became patient, but on the other hand, Jian Hao also started to act.

Although Jian Hao's martial arts are not as good as Mo San and Mo Si's, but if Mo Gu can say "yes", then he knows that Jian Hao's martial arts are definitely not bad, but Jian Hao never expected that Eunuch Xia is good at martial arts .He had just sneaked into Eunuch Xia's room when he was noticed by Xia Dequan, not to mention the group of hidden guards in Eunuch Xia's room.

Xia De looked at the boy in front of him with a complex expression. Although the boy was only fifteen or six years old, he could vaguely see a trifle in his appearance. Xia Dequan waved his hands to let the hidden guards who restrained Jian Hao go down. Sighed: "You have grown up."

When Sanyi went to Jia's house to be a nanny according to his orders, the child was just a newborn baby. Unexpectedly, 15 years later, the child had grown up.

Jian Hao bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Jian Hao has met your father-in-law!"

He is grateful from the bottom of his heart to this old man who spared their mother and child and allowed him to be born.

"Get up!" Xia Dequan raised Jian Hao with a wave of his hand, "I never thought that your mother would tell you this."

When he first learned that Sany told his son about this, Xia Dequan really had the urge to dig out Sany and teach him a lesson. How important is the method of message transmission between the hidden guards, and the matter of the little prince is just as important. Even the Holy Majesty didn't know about it, but she actually told her son about it!

How old was Jian Hao at that time?Six or seven?Sany is not afraid that Jian Hao will not be able to keep the secret.

Jian Hao sighed: "Mother can't do anything, the situation is urgent, mother can only tell me, let me continue to protect the prince's safety." No one thought that mother would leave so suddenly.

Speaking of Sany's death, Xia Dequan also sighed slightly. The reason why he arranged Sany to be next to the old prince was, on the one hand, to protect the old prince. Unexpectedly, Sanyi would die under the jealousy of an ignorant woman.

Xia Dequan asked in a low voice: "How is the prince?"

When speaking of the word "old prince", Xia Dequan purposely kept his voice extremely low, obviously he didn't want people to know the existence of the old prince.

Jian Hao smiled and said, "So brother is very good."

Although he was smiling, Jian Hao felt a little uneasy when he heard Xia Dequan's hint. His mother had said a few words, but he never expected that Eunuch Xia also seemed to have no intention of letting his old brother recognize his ancestors.

Xia Dequan felt relieved, "That's good."

For these years, he has been quite worried about the safety of the old prince. Even if he killed Jia Shishi, a vicious woman, it would not be enough. Now that he knows that the old prince is safe, his heart is finally at ease, and he will see him again in a hundred years. Your Majesty.

Xia Dequan didn't ask Jian Hao what he wanted him to do, he just asked Jian Hao a few words about the past few years, seven or eight of the ten sentences were about the old prince, although Jian Hao was a little anxious, but I can only be patient and answer in every possible way.

The more Xia Dequan talked, the more he was secretly startled. According to what Jian Hao said, the prince seemed to overlap with the boss of Jinjiang.

This Jinjiang industry seemed to have been born out of nowhere, and it didn't take long for it to gain a foothold in Beijing, and it took over the Northeast Army.

It's not that he and the Holy Majesty were unsuspecting about the drug, but Jia Yuan took it all on himself, and the manpower they went to investigate couldn't find out why, so it could only be temporary, and they didn't expect to have something to do with the old prince.

Xia Dequan was thinking about something in his heart, and there was something on his face. Seeing the opportunity, Jian Hao knelt down and begged: "Before my mother died, all she could think about was the old prince's recognition of the ancestor and return to the clan. I implore my father-in-law to help."

Xia Dequan quickly helped Jian Hao up, "Brother Hao thinks highly of me, I'm just an eunuch, what can I do."

Jian Hao was a little anxious, "But if the father-in-law doesn't act, I'm afraid the old prince will take it seriously—"

"Brother Hao." Without waiting for Jian Hao to tell the whole story, Xia Dequan said with a wry smile: "I really can't help you with this matter. Your Majesty doesn't remember anything about Aunt Mo at all. What can I do?"

If you want the old prince to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, he must be recognized by the sage.The Holy Majesty even forgot Aunt Mo, how could he recognize the old prince.

"The real one can't be fake, the fake one can't be real!" Jian Hao begged, "Jian Hao begged my father-in-law to give the old prince a chance."

"This……"

Jian Hao begged again: "I beg my father-in-law to give the old prince a chance."

"How about it." Xia Dequan said with a smile: "If the Holy Majesty remembers this and asks about our family, our family will definitely explain it to the Holy Majesty."

But if the Holy Majesty can't remember this, then he can't blame him for not talking about it.
