Chapter 7, Comparing people leads to death
Do you know that I am your imperial brother
Salutations to the Ninth Prince! The Twelfth Prince Yong'an also bowed to Lin Yi
It is truly infuriating
Lin Yiyou let out a sigh and said, "You have invited everyone else, yet you have left out me, your brother. What does this mean?"
It is impossible for him to hunt, after all, he cannot ride a horse, but that does not prevent him from taking a small dog to catch rabbits in the winter
In recent years, the health of the Emperor has indeed been deteriorating, yet he manages to turn every crisis into safety each time.
A land plagued by miasma
Until the following day, Lin Yi found that he was still full of energy
The salt transport commissioner holds a third-rank position, which is not particularly high, but he is certainly not short of money
Where is the self-reproach for not giving a gift to the Twelfth Prince? It is clearly a reproach directed at everyone for not giving a gift to him, the Ninth Prince
Lin Yi has reason to believe that in the future, regardless of who ascends to the throne, if they are short on funds, they can immediately become wealthy by plundering the home of this old fellow
Even if the old emperor is truly dead, the one who ascends to the throne may not necessarily be the crown prince
Occasionally, when I wake up, I sip some tea and play with the black-haired puppy at my feet
"I apologize, Your Highness, but there are urgent matters that require my attention. I will be there shortly," Lin Yi said, not waiting for the prince to finish speaking, and quickly took his leave.
The crowd could not help but chuckle as they watched Lin Yi riding away on a donkey
"What the Crown Prince says is true," Lin Yi looked at the tall Crown Prince and couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for him
After Hong Ying helped him tidy up his clothes, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine requests your presence in the palace"
The Third Prince, Prince Yong, similarly served in the military like the Second Prince, and later was granted the fief of Yongzhou, commanding an army of 100,000, asserting dominance in the region
The moon is bright and the stars are few, while the study in the Wang residence remains brightly lit.
Perhaps you are at home wallowing in self-pity or flying into a rage
As for the Twelfth Prince, Prince Yong'an, Lin Yi suddenly walked over and put his arm around his shoulder, speaking in a casual manner, "Old Twelve, I heard that you hosted a banquet a few days ago and invited quite a few people, didn't you"
I did not expect that today he would take the initiative to go
In fact, he was happy to have beaten his own son, Qi Zhong
Lin Yi furrowed his brows and said helplessly, "She still won't give up!"
Whether one is willing to maintain close relations with the princes and ministers is one matter, while the acceptance of gifts is another
Ninth Brother ... ...
Ninth Brother ... ...
It is only natural for people to come and celebrate
Whoever goes will be unfortunate
At this moment, anyone who is not a fool can understand the intentions of the Ninth Prince and the King
Lin Yi pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I heard that the Crown Prince sent you a fine steed, Brother San gave you a ceremonial carriage, Brother Si gifted you a coral as tall as a person, and Brother Wu provided you with four beautiful women. As for me, I am the poorest brother, unable to give you anything at all. It is indeed my fault!"
It has been six days since the conferment
Sometimes he acts recklessly, but that does not mean he is foolish
Who dares to go
Hong Yingpei smiled and said, "Yesterday, General Yuan entered the palace to meet the Emperor, who graciously allowed the matriarch of the Yuan family to enter the palace and enjoy a family reunion with Concubine Yuan"
Staying in the fief all along, the excuse to return to the capital at this moment is to know that my father is ill, and to come back to fulfill my filial duty
The Crown Prince nodded and said to Lin Yi, "Ninth Brother..."
Over time, he became too lazy to seek discomfort.
The Fourth Prince, King Jin, is exceptionally talented, excelling in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, with mastery in all and knowledge of everything. His maternal grandfather is Han Wenhui, the salt transport commissioner.
Just like that, eating and drinking, walking the dog, another day has passed
Refer to the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Seventh Prince! Lin Yi bowed respectfully to each of them
Prince Yong'an hurriedly clasped his hands in apology
So that's how it is, Lin Yi suddenly realized, and then, puzzled, said, "I too have been conferred a title, why has no one come to congratulate me? My brother, the door is cold and the carriages are few, it is truly desolate and sorrowful. Tell me, as brothers, how can there be such a great disparity between us? It really makes me envious!"
If someone were to come and congratulate you, you might even think they are coming to see you make a fool of yourself
However, this does not mean that he is devoid of hatred
Every year, he clings to the capital, relying on the substantial income from the fief of Qingzhou, refusing to leave
He inadvertently cast a glance at Hong Ying, that dog servant
If it were not for the fear of tarnishing his elder brother's reputation, he would have loved to curse directly
What the bear!
The relationship between Wang and the Yuan family is not close, but as long as Consort Yuan is alive, it is impossible to easily sever the ties between Wang and the Yuan family under any circumstances
From the Crown Prince to the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince, who does not show him respect and reverence
His own mother, extremely disappointed in him, usually turns him away even when he takes the initiative to visit her
What does "Nine Emperor Brother" actually mean
Sanhe
Do not fall into the trap again at that time
Who has allowed him to have so many outstanding brothers
The Prime Minister Qi Yong glanced at He Wang in front of him
He is the current Prime Minister, a veteran official of two dynasties, second only to one person and above ten thousand others, with former students and old subordinates spread across the nation, what a position of great honor!
According to the records and illustrations, the Fourth Prince has already bribed a considerable number of military leaders with money
This is something that His Majesty is pleased to see
Her mother is a fierce woman from the Jiang family, a woman full of ambition
His aunt married He Wengong, the textile official of Jiangnan, who was equally wealthy and powerful
Moreover, although he is a civilian official, his son is exceptionally talented in both civil and military affairs, capable of defeating that good-for-nothing Wang with just a finger!
While speaking, King Yong'an could not help but glance at the Crown Prince and the ministers beside him
With just a mention of feeling unwell, he was dismissed
The sun has risen in the west
Lin Yi, this young man, actually does not give him any face!
If it were not for General Yuan's return to the capital today," the Crown Prince said with a smile, "we would certainly have to impose on you today!
You and I are brothers, so there is no need to be so formal. The Crown Prince said with great grace
Without the command of the Emperor, to welcome his uncle, if the name is not right, then the words will not be in order
This belongs to my younger brother, not to me
The one who most eagerly awaits the death of the old emperor is probably him
Prince Yong'an expressed his apologies, saying, "Ninth brother has misunderstood; I have been granted a title, and everyone is here to celebrate for me."
Hong Ying is still copying books, having not slept all night
In the matter between Wang and Qi Zhong, regardless of who is right or wrong, the one who acts first is the one at fault. In the future, he can confront that old scoundrel Yuan Ang without any pretense of politeness
This brings to mind that the person before me is famously known for being a money enthusiast
Your Highness, the hour is late. The scouts have just reported that General Yuan is no more than 2 li away from here.
This prince is indeed a remarkable oddity of our time, as he cannot even ride a horse
He has certainly experienced hardship
For Lin Yi, this is yet another tedious day
Everyone then felt relieved
"No disturbance, no disturbance," Lin Yi said with a beaming smile, "Brother, I am always at your service!"
The maternal grandfather of the Seventh Prince, King Nanling, is General Mei Jingzhi, who commands an army and possesses strength second only to that of Duke Zhuguo
Please help me!
Where is your fief located
My lordship's fief, Yong'an, is located in the Jiangnan region, a land of great wealth
Lying bare-chested on the chair in the pavilion, he allowed the maidens Mingyue and Zixia to fan him.
Comparing oneself to others indeed leads to despair
With a pointed mouth and slender waist, legs, and neck, it excels in hunting and running
See the prince
Except for the Prime Minister Qi Yong, who remained steadfast, all the officials from various departments paid their respects to Lin Yi
He had long promised his son that he would eventually skin and dismember Hong Ying.
Not a single person sent him a gift
Enthroned as the Crown Prince at the age of eleven, he has now been in the position for a full thirty years at the age of forty-one
