Chapter 8
Chapter 8
Tu Junpu didn't want to stay in Lin's mansion, but because he had something to say first, and because Lin Ruhai's analysis was very reasonable, he managed to suppress his fear for the safety of his father. .
Lin Ruhai also had her own plans.
The saint is no longer young at the age of fifty or sixty, but there are very few emperors who have passed the sixtieth age in all dynasties.Although Lin Ruhai said that he was loyal to the emperor, he couldn't spend his whole life circling around such an old man with half a foot in the coffin, could he?Therefore, it is necessary to make early plans for the future.
This time, Prince Yizhong and the crown prince had to fall from the horse one after another. The other princes below were afraid that they would not be able to please the saint. In the future, naturally only Prince Zhongxin would stand out and be appreciated by the saint.
Although the sage values power more and is unwilling to let Tu Junpu lead the army to win a fair sentence, lest he get the merit of greedy heaven, have two minds, and have the power and ability to compete with him, but he wants Tu Junpu to be himself The heart of his heir is not false.
Even though he might regret it in the future, but when he went to Prince Yizhong and the crown prince, and the third prince died young, no matter what happens to the other princes, Tu Junpu will always be the eldest son among the brothers. .And because of his warning to the sage, he can take up the word of filial piety, coupled with his daily words and deeds, he can barely get the word of virtuous.
If the brothers do such evil things, the saint will never believe them again, but it will take at least ten years for the young princes to become adults, and it is not yet known what their future character will be. Like their brothers, with wolfish ambitions...
Adding all these together, presumably if the sage is not stupid, he will naturally know which prince to pass on at that time, so as to protect the foundation of Daming.
And when the future situation is almost settled, this Tu Junpu has no friendship with Lin Ruhai in the past, so of course Lin Ruhai wants to cultivate a good relationship with him while he is now living in his own mansion. .In case the saint dies and the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, the Lin family will lose all the benefits they have now.
At that time, nothing will cause waves.
But Lin Ruhai's self-esteem and self-cultivation make it rare for him to deliberately flatter others, and from the perspective of his behavior, this disciple Junpu should not be an official who is very courteous to himself, and he can tell at a glance that he has other plans, so Reluctantly, it may only increase the resentment.
What's more, the saint is here, if he knows it, he might end up in trouble, which is not beautiful.
Fortunately, the sage's letter clearly stated that he asked Lin Ruhai to observe Tu Junpu's behavior and whether he could take on the great responsibility, and also hinted that if it was feasible, he would lead him to experience the officialdom in Yangzhou.
And Lin Ruhai happened to start from this aspect, and let Tu Junpu see his hard work and the means of handling things.
If Tu Junpu will be a wise king in the future, he will naturally have a good impression of Lin Ruhai because of this, and he can continue to use him to handle affairs in the future.Even though Tu Junpu didn't trust the Lin family as much as he did when he was a saint, but with Lin Ruhai's means, why can't he be like a fish in water?
If Tu Junpu is a stupid character who doesn't get into anything, Lin Ruhai will naturally be able to influence his opponent and make him make another plan as soon as possible.
Of course, according to Lin Ruhai's opinion, Tu Junpu is better.After all, people are close by, and they live in the important house temporarily, but it is the easiest to develop feelings.
Lin Ruhai had a plan in mind, so he decided to give Tu Junpu a cold shoulder for a few days before talking about anything else.
Because if you want to win the favor of the other party, and then gradually cultivate this favorability into a relationship with at least seven or eight points, you must do it as soon as possible.
Although Prince Yizhong has the intention of forcing the palace, but if he is calm and delays for a year or a half in order to make the plan more perfect, then Tu Junpu will naturally stay in Yangzhou for a longer time Some.But if you really think about it carefully, it seems impossible.
A prince, an adult prince, even if he is an adult prince who is not usually favored by saints, leaving Beijing for no reason is already very attractive, so it is impossible for him to leave Beijing for too long for no reason, it is easy It is suspicious.
And since the sage already knew about Prince Yizhong's ambition to force the palace to become emperor, and wanted to get Tu Junpu out of this matter, it was impossible for him to delay this month, lest he fall into the eyes of those who cared and become a prince. handle.
Most importantly, it is also easy to be afraid of long nights and dreams.
Therefore, it is very likely that the saint has made arrangements in Beijing to lead Prince Yizhong to start an incident in advance.
Three or four days passed like this, during which Lin Ruhai went to the Yanzheng Yamen to handle official business every day.Although it's not an urgent matter, at least I made a gesture to tell everyone that a relative came to my house, but it would not be the loyal prince who left Beijing suddenly as rumored, otherwise I would not be so negligent. It's just to be a companion every day.
On the fourth day, Lin Ruhai returned to the mansion from the Yanzheng Yamen. He felt that it was almost time, and he didn't even have time to change his official robes, so he summoned Housekeeper Lin and asked how Tu Junpu was doing in the mansion these few days. Sample.
However, Tu Junpu didn't use his own identity to live in the Lin Mansion, but became a distant relative of Lin Ruhai, surnamed Fu and surnamed Gao Jie.
Lin Butler thought for a while, and replied respectfully: "Returning to Master, Master Fu seems to be a little restless in the mansion these days, and from time to time he just looks at the willow trees in the yard in a daze, or is irritable. Walking back and forth, even the food I don’t look like a grown man’s food, at most it’s just a bowl of purple stalk rice, and sometimes I don’t use any more than a few chopsticks. I'm much thinner than when I first came to the mansion."
After hearing this, Lin Ruhai nodded, but didn't find it surprising.After all, the sage's misfortune and fortune are unpredictable in Beijing, and he should be so anxious to get angry, otherwise it would be too unfilial.
Without another word, Lin Ruhai let Steward Lin go on his own.After thinking for a while, he changed his official robes into homely clothes, and then went to Liuxu next door to visit Tu Junpu.
It was past time when Lin Ruhai came back, and Tu Junpu had already eaten, but he didn't eat anything today.The Lin family's food was good, but he didn't have much appetite, and he couldn't use it anymore after only moving a few chopsticks, so he had to be taken away.So now he just feels hungry, his stomach is uncomfortable and tight, but he just doesn't want to eat.
It just so happened that Lin Ruhai had no social gatherings today, and knowing that Tu Junpu had lived in his house for a few days without using anything, thinking that his stomach would be ruined by him, he frowned and asked the kitchen to make a table of Yike The melted meals are sent to Liuxu Pavilion.
At this time, Tu Junpu was feeling unwell, but he knew that he should not be conspicuous now, so he didn't even ask the doctor to find him, and just lay on the bed by himself without moving.When Lin Ruhai went, he didn't have the mood to greet him, but he still resisted the cramping pain in his stomach and sat up.
"Lord Lin, what happened in the capital? When can I return to the capital?" Because he was worried that the walls have ears, Tu Junpu simply stopped calling himself the king after changing his name, so as not to be heard by someone with ulterior motives .
Lin Ruhai's observation skills are good, and he saw the sweat on Tu Junpu's forehead.
It's autumn now, although the autumn tiger is fierce, but there is a breeze at night, which makes people very comfortable, but Tu Junpu is sweating, obviously it's not because of the heat.
Lin Ruhai frowned and took a step forward, his cold fingers touched the even colder skin, making his brows tightened even more. "Is your lord not feeling well?"
Tu Junpu was stunned for a moment, but soon came back to his senses, with a little blush on his face, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing serious."
Lin Ruhai understood.
Knowing the reason, Lin Ruhai frowned slightly, and said in a light tone: "But you are hungry? It's just that the official has not had dinner yet, so I wonder if the prince is willing to give the official a face and eat at the same table with the official?" ?”
"My lord...this lord doesn't want to eat." Now that the sage doesn't know what to do, how can Tu Junpu eat?
"So that's the case." Lin Ruhai nodded, and then said casually: "The sage earlier said to ask the prince to obey the orders of the officials, but it seems that he was not able to do so. It seems that there is no need to tell the prince about the news from the capital. That's it, so as not to ruin the sage's scheme."
"Wait!" Tu Junpu blushed, "Let someone serve the food."
In fact, Lin Ruhai's behavior was somewhat out of proportion, but since he was determined in his heart to build a good relationship with Tu Junpu, he naturally had to do the fastest and safest method according to the person involved.
Lin Ruhai probably knows a little about Tu Junpu.
In previous years in the palace, Tu Junhao hadn’t been crowned Prince Yizhong yet, and Tu Junyu wasn’t a prince yet, but the eldest son and the first son were enough to occupy the eyes of a saint, and compared with those younger brothers who used to pretend to be cute and coquettish. Then, it became more and more as if there was no such person as Tu Junpu.However, his biological mother died young, and there was no one to take care of his personal history. The palace used to praise the high and the low, so naturally he lost his status even more.
And in the court, even if the sage named Tujun Pu as Prince Zhongxin, he was not a prince with real power like Prince Yizhong, but just a vain post in the Ministry of Rites, so no one liked to flatter him, but when they saw him Just salute respectfully.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai's seemingly threatening but caring approach was very gratifying in the eyes of Tu Junpu, who was weak in illness.
The people in the kitchen brought several dishes, such as steamed carp, assorted tofu egg custard, scrambled eggs with loofah, meat and vegetarian meatballs, etc.There are also several porridge products such as mung bean porridge, double black porridge, three yellow porridge, ten grain porridge, etc., and desserts such as lily cake, rose steamed bun and yellow rice cold cake.
Seeing this, Tu Junpu felt more and more grateful for Lin Ruhai.
After all, he was the only person who noticed that he was sick and made special arrangements for meals for himself since he was a child.
