There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 295 Discussing the Crown Prince

Xia, Bingshen in May, originally according to the historical process, this year should be "vibrating hunger in Guinea, Shandong, and Henan".

But last year was a bumper harvest

There was no famine at this moment, and Wu Youwei didn't know that he had actually secretly changed some of the historical trajectory of Daming.

There is a Dragon Boat Festival at the beginning of May, and gifts need to be given and received everywhere.

Wu Youwei especially understands why foreigners call China "the land of etiquette".

Not only did he want to give gifts, but he also had to visit a few houses in person. Zuo Shi’s house must be visited, as well as the Fahai Temple. He had already written the masterpieces of Jin Dashen, and even Master Kong became a fan of martial arts.

It's just that the old monk has taken good care of him these years, so he looks younger.

Wu Youwei stroked the old monk's beard: "I'm afraid this beard will be black?"

"You mean I don't pay attention to cleanliness?" Master Ji Kong rolled his eyes: "I take a bath every three days.

"I mean, you are going to rejuvenate, right?" Wu Youwei also rolled his eyes: "Look how good you look!"

Only then did Master Ji Kong be happy: "Of course, I am..."

Just as he was about to say something, he shut up. He thought his background was a secret.

Wu Youwei didn't pursue it, and chatted with the old monk, while Master Zhi Kong asked him directly after eating the fast: "Your masters, have you come to see you?"

"I've seen it." Wu Youwei had already said: "I also sent a congratulatory gift."

There are so many suet jades in the family for no reason, of course there must be a source, "Masters" should not be too easy to use.

If you have nothing to do, just take it out for a walk.

"I thought I could see you!" Master Ji Kong was upset: "Why didn't you tell them? I want to see you."

Wu Youwei looked a little weird: "They don't see strangers."

It's all his nonsense, how come?

Master Ji Kong got it wrong, seeing strangers?

"Where are there no strangers in this world?" Master Ji Kong thought Wu Youwei was perfunctory.

"It's true." Wu Youwei's expression became even weirder: "They all have weird tempers, otherwise it's impossible for me to be the only apprentice after so many years.

"They only have you as an apprentice?" Master Kong was shocked when he heard this, "Don't you have a brother?"

Wu Youwei shook his head: "No, if there was, then I wouldn't be alone... In that case, it would be inconvenient for the masters to come forward, but they could save my life.

Master Kong has an interesting expression on his face.

"Otherwise, with my weak body at that time, would I still be able to survive if I fell into the water in the winter?" Wu Youwei made up his own beliefs: "My subsequent actions were all instructed by the masters, but I have taught a lot, and I also want to open the Wu family, I have to leave, even the Wu family, and then I set up another branch..."

But Master Jikong's expression changed even more. At that time, he remembered that boy Wantong told him about the situation in the Wu Mansion, and that Maid Wu almost died...

If there was more than one person in the Wu Mansion at that time, why didn't that kid Wantong find out?

Sure enough, he is an expert, and there are very few people in this world who can hide the truth from Jin Yiwei.

In particular, these high-ranking people seem to be not in the Central Plains, but in the Kunlun Mountains outside the Great Wall.

That place was not accessible to the people of the Ming Dynasty. It was people from there who came to Daming, Huijiang, Tatar, Hami, Uzang....

How difficult it is to come and go freely!

Even a merchant who has been doing business all year round would not dare to say that he can pass through those places without incident every time. Although Daming still dominates the world, there are too many evils accumulated, and the influence can no longer radiate too far.

Therefore, the prices of suet white jade, Tianshan snow lotus, rhodiola, etc. from Kunlun Mountains are rising more and more, and there are prices but no market, because there are no goods at all!

Wu Youwei can live so well, because his suet white jade is white, and the space has expanded a lot, and the suet white jade produced is everywhere, and I don't know how to get it, there are different sizes Not to mention, they are all superb.If you sell it casually, one piece will be enough for him to eat for a year.

Otherwise, they would not support such a large family business, and spend money everywhere to do good deeds.

It's a pity that Wu Youwei can't talk about these things, so he can only use unwarranted masters to top the tank.

"Well, if possible, I really want to meet those strange people." That's all Master Ji Kong could say in the end.

"I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee it." Wu Youwei curled his lips: "You are so old, why are you still so curious?"

It is said that children are the most curious. Could it be that the old monk not only looks rejuvenated, but also rejuvenates his mind?

"Hmph!" Master Jikong snorted proudly, and turned to look at the pot of Bodhi grass he raised.

Wu Youwei personally gave gifts to more and more people, but this year he did not give gifts to Wantong's Qianshifu, because the two of them are like a family when they are together, and giving gifts seems unusual.

This made Wantong very happy, and he didn't give Wu Youwei a gift either!

As a result, Butler Lin Su and Butler Wanfu became nervous. They thought that their relationship was in crisis. Butler Lin Su yelled at Butler Wanfu. As the butler of the "in-law's family", Butler Wanfu was deeply disturbed, so he ran back and asked his lord what he thought?

After Wantong said that giving gifts would be out of the question, Butler Wanfu breathed a sigh of relief, and then complained: "My lord, please explain clearly next time, Butler Lin Su thought you two were having an awkward situation, so he scolded his subordinates.

What made him sad the most was that he didn't dare to speak back after being scolded...

"Go and get half a year's monthly money." Wantong spread his hands and said, "I have no other good way to compensate you."

Butler Wanfu unceremoniously went to collect half a year's monthly money as compensation, and then invited Butler Lin Su to have a big meal in the middle building of the Overseas Building.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, everything returned to normal. The classification work of the Hanlin Academy was in progress, but there was a disturbance in the court.

Ding You, Wang Yue defeated A Luo from Yansui East Road.

It just so happened that the second son of the emperor celebrated his hundred days.

Therefore, some people rumored that the second prince was the star of the army. Although he could win the victory, he was hit and conquered continuously.

This fate is not suitable for the Ming court today.

Just as Bai Zhen thought, the civil servants managed to suppress the generals, how could they give them a chance to make a comeback?

In addition, the second son of the emperor was born to Wan Zhen'er, and Wan Zhen'er is over 40 years old!

The emperor is only in his 20s, there is a huge age gap between the two, and Wan Zhener's humble background, the second son of the emperor is not the eldest son of the emperor, and there are very few people who support the second son of the emperor.

The eldest son of the emperor is about to turn one year old, but the emperor seems to visit him once a month, but he is with Concubine Wan in Zhaode Palace every day. By the way, the three children born to Concubine Wan can also be seen every day. emperor.

Two more beauties in the palace are pregnant, Concubine Bai can't sit still, what if a prince is born?

The ministers thought that the emperor wanted to make the second son of the emperor the crown prince, and the concubine Wan's pillows were too loud, but Bai Zhen's wife felt that the most important thing now was to raise the position, and they were all concubines, so naturally they couldn't tell whether they were noble or not. What if it is the imperial concubine?

It's a pity that there is a queen on the top, otherwise the Bai family will really try their best to become a phoenix again.

But the throne is not bad. If the grandson of the Bai family becomes the emperor, then the Bai family will continue to prosper in Daming. If you don't believe me, just look at the current Duke Wei's mansion.

After several generations, they have stood firm and can even guard Nanjing.

If the Bai family can share weal and woe with Daming like the Xu family.

He saw the prosperity of Wei Guogong's Xu family, but he couldn't see the queen candidates chosen by the royal family. Basically, they were all women from low-born and small families, and there were no families above the fourth rank!

How beautiful was Queen Qian?

The Empress Dowager Zhang personally arranged this marriage for her grandson. The Qian family was once prominent. What about the current Qian family?

Almost no one remembers.

Greed has made Bai Zhen excited to a certain extent, so this spring, the Bai family married two young ladies and went out.

One married a political envoy to fill in the house. The chief envoy was over 40 years old, and his son was one year older than Miss Bai's family.

One married a wealthy businessman from the south. This wealthy businessman was the richest man in the Jianghuai region. He had thousands of hectares of fertile land and hundreds of servants. The betrothal gift for the third lady of Baifu was 3 taels of silver alone!

Not to mention all kinds of treasures and antiques, ancient paintings and so on.

It's just that the rich businessman's rich wife, in other words, is chubby and very philistine. He climbed up, and Shangbai's family was looking at future investment.

There are still four ladies in the Bai family up for sale.

After Bo Zhen got money, she became more lively and lively. Wantong hated him so much, and complained to Wu Youwei every day when he came back: "Bai Zhen now smells of copper all over her body!"

"No way?" Wu Youwei almost spit out the melon and vegetable soup in his mouth when he heard it: "He is the commander of the Jin Yiwei, so it can't be done?"

"He went to the yamen to work today. Although he dressed according to the custom, he wore two jade pendants, one on the left and one on the right. The belt around his waist was also inlaid with gold silk jade, and there was a piece hanging on the handle of the knife. When eating, He didn’t eat in the yamen, but asked someone to go outside and order a table of food and come back, who is it!” Wantong complained endlessly: “He is still wooing people in Jinyiwei.”

"How to win over?" Wu Youwei was taken aback: "Jinyiwei are all the emperor's personal guards."

"When there is no threat to the emperor, of course there are people who are willing to be wooed." Wantong pouted: "His family married a daughter to a wealthy businessman, and she got 3 taels of silver, all kinds of rare treasures, and he even wanted to bribe her." Master Yuan Bin was rejected by Master Yuan.

Even if the Bai family now has a grandson of the eldest son of the emperor, Yuan Bin will not buy Bai Zhen's face.

How old is the eldest son of the emperor?The emperor is in the prime of life, how old is Yuan Bin?He feels that he will retire after living a few more years. At that time, a scholar who has saved the late emperor's great hero, not to mention whether the grandson of the Bai family can become the prince, even if he becomes the prince in the end, he will be crowned as a prince. Emperor, he can't do anything to Yuan Bin.

His achievements are recorded in the history books of the late emperor. How dare you attack the person who saved your ancestors?

The entire Daming cannot agree!

But others did not have the confidence of Yuan Bin. After Concubine Bai gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, many people began to show a friendly attitude towards Bai Zhen.

Now that Baizhen has money, she starts to use money to corrupt and sugar-coat bullets, and no one can bear it.

"How dare he bribe Master Yuan Bin?" Wu Youwei frowned: "What does he want to do?"

"What else can I do?" Wantong sighed: "Of course I want people to go to Shushu to discuss the matter of the crown prince."

"Then let's discuss it!" Wu Youwei lay flat on the thin quilt: "You have to give someone a thought, don't you?"

Anyway, in history, a prince was established, but the Bai family was blessed but not that fate

Wantong looked at him and said nothing.

But the next day, Wantong went to Beizhen Fusi and told his subordinates: "Work honestly."

Fang Hongzhuo and the others looked at each other, and finally Li Qing said: "My lord, even if you don't want to fight, you have to think about the empress in the palace!"

People like them may not have thought that Concubine Wan also has a prince, so why does Concubine Bai's son have to be the crown prince?

It is said that the emperor still loves Concubine Wan very much?

"Indisputable." Wantong said with a smile: "The crown prince is the foundation of a country, how important is the future crown prince? You and I are both warriors, so don't get involved if you don't understand these things.

When he said this, Yuan Bin happened to be passing by with someone, and when he heard it, he stroked his beard and came in with a smile: "Zhongming is right."

He was satisfied with the Wan family. Whether it was the concubine Wan or Wanxi Wantong Wanda, they lived their lives cautiously and would not think too highly of themselves.

The Bai family is jumping too high, and he doesn't think the Bai family is doing well.

"Master Yuan!" Everyone cupped their fists in salute.
