After getting Chu Yunyu's affirmative answer, Tong Sui felt at ease, at least his living standard was guaranteed to a certain extent, and he would not starve to death in this world from the very beginning.

After he was full, he struggled to lift water by the well by himself. He tossed back and forth many times with all his strength, and his palms were drawn with red marks by the thick hemp rope. Finally, he filled the well with enough cold water for washing.

Tong Sui asked the system to turn the cold well water into hot water.

System: "Okay."

The cold water instantly turned into steaming steam, and the cold and damp cabin became a little more angry.

Tong Sui took off his dusty clothes and stepped into the wooden barrel. The hot water instantly overflowed his thin and thin shoulders, soaking the scattered wounds on his body with fine pain.

Even so, he endured the pain and washed his body carefully.

Because the soaking time was too long, Tong Sui's fair skin was burned red after drying his body, and he finally seemed to have some color.

The clean and refreshing feeling of the body made Tong Sui feel much better, he couldn't help thinking while lying on the bed.

With his current status, he couldn't get close to Rong Jin at all.

And even if he was lucky and happened to meet him, his current image and identity would not attract him the slightest interest.

It was too difficult to start.

Why is it a child? Tong Sui can't do anything now, even if he is bullied, he doesn't even have the strength to fight back.

If it wasn't for the appearance of these princes today, who blocked the little eunuch who came to make trouble for him, even if he died with his current identity, he would probably have died quietly.

First of all, at least find a way to get official certification of his prince status.

The amount of information in Tong Sui's mind is very small, and there is no good way to filter it out. In addition, the original owner is just a child, and his energy has long been insufficient.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly.

the next day.

When the sky just dawned, two uninvited guests broke into his room.

"What time is it, sorry?"

The child-year-old quilt was ruthlessly lifted, and there were two eunuchs standing in front of them, their old faces were full of grooves like dried orange peels, with a very disdainful expression on them, "Don't think that you can be the master if you curry favor with the eldest prince."

A dirty rag was thrown over.

"Go, clean up! If you can't finish cleaning today, don't even think about resting!"

Tong Sui fell asleep, and did not avoid the rag he threw at him, a red mark appeared on his fair cheeks.

The system gritted its teeth with anger: "Why do these people dare to come?"

Yesterday, the eunuch in charge of the Zhidian supervisor was taken aback when he received Chu Yunyu's message. After reporting to the queen immediately, the order he received was that everything should go on as usual.

So today he sent two people over to monitor.

One is to let Tong Sui work hard, and the other is to let him have less contact with other princes.

So the place where Tong Sui cleaned every day was changed from the residence of the princes to the more remote Imperial Garden Xiyuan.

The two eunuchs followed behind Tong Sui, and they were looking at people with their chins domineeringly, but suddenly, with an oops, their feet slipped and fell to the ground, and the other person was also kicked.

The two fell together, ouching.

Tong Sui looked back at their funny looks, and said systematically, "Hmph, they deserved it for being so arrogant just now. This is a lesson for them!"

This fall was not light.

The two eunuchs stood up with grinning teeth, and said to Tong Sui: "You, you, you, you, you, you, clean up the damn snow after you finish!"

They limped away talking.

After the supervisor was dismissed, the system began to cheat him openly and cleaned up all the cleaning work.

Tong Sui said thank you.

If he does such a heavy job alone, let alone finish it today, even if he doesn't sleep and rest, he won't be able to finish it tomorrow.

Xiyuan is cold and desolate, no one will come here.

Tong Sui found an unoccupied attic to rest in, and let the system see what Rong Jin was doing.

Although the information he came across showed that Rong Jin was a ruthless and treacherous minister, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, Tong Sui actually didn't believe it.

A resplendent and magnificent hall appeared in the floating picture.

All civil and military officials held wat boards in their hands, and they all had stern faces and did not dare to look around. The atmosphere was oppressive and serious, as if they did not dare to make mistakes in the face of the emperor's coercion.

And the dragon chair in the center is empty.

The emperor has not been in court for several years.

Rong Jin, who handled the affairs of state on behalf of the emperor, was sitting on a chair beside the dragon chair, with a few memorials in hand, and stared at the civil servants and generals in the hall indifferently.

In the middle of winter, frost and dew are heavy.

Rong Jin's complexion was paler and weaker than usual, he was wearing a high-quality fox fur cloak, and his bony hands were bloodless, holding a delicate and gorgeous stove.

His appearance is completely different from the ferocious and evil folk rumors, his eyes are like lacquer, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, more like a scholar with a pen and ink.

It is incompatible with this treacherous court.

It is such a person who can disturb the situation.

Rong Jin lowered his head and put his fist to his lips to cough, the tense blue veins on the back of his thin hands were clearly visible.

The vassal in the hall quickly handed over hot tea and complimented: "Master, please slow down. You have to pay attention to your body for the sake of the country, the country, and the country."

Rong Jin took the teacup and took a sip, suppressing the itching in his trachea, and said after a while: "Last night, I heard the news from Jin Yiwei, which made me sleepless all night.I know that the ministers of this dynasty still have such wolfish ambitions."

As he spoke, he scanned the hall once more.

Everyone could smell the coming wind and rain, and they didn't dare to make unnecessary movements, and they all wanted to lower their heads to the ground.

"Master Tobu, what did you say last night, do you still remember it?"

The face of the Hubu servant who was named changed slightly, cold sweat broke out instantly, and he tried to calm down and said: "I, I don't understand what the governor means."

"Really." Rong Jin said: "Then I have to speak more clearly."

Rong Jin glanced at the memorial.

The memorial was opened by the attendant, and the content inside was also read out in the hall.

"Last night, the Minister of the Household Department, on the bed of the concubine of the fourth room, scolded the emperor for building Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, wasting the people and wasting money, cultivating immortals and alchemy regardless of the country, letting the dog rule the power, and persecuting loyal ministers."

At the end of reading, close the memorial.

Rong Jin still had no expression on his face, but the coldness in his eyes was daunting. He said lightly, "Do you have anything to add?"

"No, I don't mean that, I have been an official in the court for more than 20 years, and I have never felt disrespectful..."

Rong Jin raised his hand and threw the tea cup in his hand in front of him, the shards splashed everywhere, "You mean that I slandered you?"

The ministers in the hall fell to their knees in shock.

Only a few cabinet ministers were left standing, but it was obvious that the expressions of each of them were also very ugly.

Rong Jin looked at Zhang Yanru, the chief assistant of the cabinet, "Mr. Zhang Ge, you are the head of civil servants, what do you think of this matter?"

Zhang Yanru's expression is slightly restrained.

He and the servant of the household department have been officials in the same dynasty for decades, and they have always disliked this gang of eunuchs. Of course, they want to save them from the bottom of their hearts, but their cabinet is now in decline, and they are no longer Rong Jin's opponents.

At this time, he can only choose to be wise and protect his own life. "The Minister of the Household Department is disrespectful to the Holy One and spread rumors to cause trouble. He should be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment."

"What Zhang Ge said is," Rong Jin smiled lightly, but that smile made people's hairs stand on end, and his words were even more ruthless, "don't bother with the Criminal Department. There are many affairs in the Criminal Department.All the people above have been escorted to the Imperial Prison for interrogation."

"what?!"

The blood on the servant's face faded away.

Jin Yiwei's Imperial Prison is the Asura Hell that everyone fears.

Those who are captured will not be interrogated, but will be tortured first, so even if they escape by luck, they will be skinned and only half their lives will be left.

At this time, the servant of the household department could not care about the face of the old minister for many years. He knelt on the ground and walked forward, his knees were stained with blood from the scraps of the tea cup.

"Master, nine thousand years old, you just need to arrest me alone. This matter has nothing to do with my family, they are all innocent!"

"My lord, get up, how can I wait for a dog like you to accept such a big gift from you."

Rong Jin picked up the copper hand warmer again.

"Your Excellency is dissatisfied with me, and I have no objections. But the emperor regards you as a confidant, but you treat him as an enemy. Disregarding the way of a monarch and his ministers is an unforgivable crime."

"Take it away."

As Rong Jin's voice fell, Jin Yiwei on both sides stepped forward and dragged him down.

The blood stains and debris on the ground were also cleaned up.

The atmosphere in the hall was even more dead silent.

Rong Jin has countless minions, and it is well known that the daily surveillance and framing of the officials is well known.

As long as it falls into his hands, there will be no survivors, and they will be executed everywhere. This is the biggest reason why everyone hates Rong Jin.

With the help of the system, Tong Sui watched the whole process.

He looked at Rong Jin, who had familiar eyebrows and eyes, but felt that the coldness was a little strange, and he even felt a little afraid.

Perhaps it was because he had just passed through a relatively peaceful world, and it was difficult to accept this kind of killing for a while.

"Is the punishment a little too heavy..."

Tong Sui whispered.

The system said: "Otherwise, how could he be a villain?"

In the evening, the two young eunuchs reappeared.

They were about to come to find fault, but found that they had finished all the work they had assigned to Tong Sui, and the snow on the road was even more spotless.

Tong Sui said: "Can I go back and rest?"

The two young eunuchs didn't react, Tong Sui had already left.

"How did this kid do it? We obviously gave him so much work? What should we do now?"

If they didn't know that no one would help a powerless little fool, they would never believe that Tong Sui could do it alone.

"Here, the above only said that he can't rest if he can't finish it. If he finishes it, our task is considered complete."

Tong Sui returned to his little broken house.

When he walked to the door, he found that the dilapidated door had been repaired, the windows had been repaired, and the best charcoal fire was burning inside the house, making the whole house warm.

"You're back, why is it so late." Chu Yunyu poked his head out, "Did those people order you to do things again?"

Tong Sui took a closer look inside the room.

The bedding on the bed was also replaced with new ones, and there were a few new clothes piled up beside him. He said, "Your Highness, did you ask someone to make these?"

Chu Yunyu said: "You don't want to move, so I let someone mess with it casually, do you still like it?"

Tong Sui nodded, never expecting that Chu Yunyu would be so considerate and considerate, and thanked him with a salute: "Thank you Your Highness, you don't have to suffer from the cold tonight."

"There's no need for such hypocrisy," Chu Yunyu stepped forward, originally wanting to hold his hand, but remembering that his hand was still injured, he grabbed his sleeve instead, "Come in and eat."

Every dish in the imperial dining room is extraordinarily exquisite, and ordinary people in the palace cannot enjoy such treatment. Tong Sui, with Chu Yunyu's identity, rarely enjoyed it twice.

Chu Yunyu watched Tong Sui eating, compared to yesterday's wolfing down, today's eating was much restrained, but his cheeks were still full.

There was also a smile on that young and mature face.

In fact, he was not the only one who wanted to come over today, and several other princes also wanted to come to join in the fun, but they were all sent back by Chu Yunyu.

In the next few days, Chu Yunyu will come over on time to bring him food.

On this day, Chu Yunyu came later than usual.

He stood at the door and lowered his head to adjust his expression before going in.

Tong Sui didn't seem too happy to see Chu Yunyu through the window. After he came in, Tong Sui asked, "What's wrong?"

Chu Yunyu said firmly: "It's okay."

Tong Sui said: "If you are in a bad mood, it will be better to say it, don't hold it back. There are only two of us here."

After all, he is still a teenager at heart. After holding back for a while, Chu Yunyu began to talk like beans: "I was criticized by the Taifu today. Do you know that you are a child? It is really boring to stay in the Shang study every day. It would be great if you could accompany me."It's-"

"By the way," Chu Yunyu's eyes lit up, "How about going to study with me? I'll teach you how to read!"

"No, I'm not qualified to study there."

After these few days, Tong Sui has gradually realized that he can only do things within the scope of his status. If he goes too far, he can be killed if he is charged with a crime by someone who cares.

Shangshufang is the place where only princes can study.

Chu Yunyu thought for a while, "In that case, if you become my little book boy and grind ink for me, this is not considered learning."

Tong Sui hesitated.

On the one hand, it is impossible for him to do sprinkle and wash work in the imperial garden forever, but if he gets too close to Chu Yunyu, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some people.

Chu Yunyu didn't give him a chance to hesitate, "That's it, you and I will go to Shang's study tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning.

Chu Yunyu came early, and brought a set of light blue little book boy's clothes for Tong Sui to change into.

After he put it on, Chu Yunyu's eyes lit up.

"Looking good! Who would dare to call you a fool when you look like this?" Chu Yunyu circled around a few times, seemingly satisfied, "Let's go, I'll take you to study."

Tong Sui followed behind him to Shang's study room.

Because it was still early, the teachers in charge of teaching were not present, and the princes gathered together to chatter and play.

After Chu Yunyu came in, they all sat back to their seats, but when they saw Tong Sui following behind him, they couldn't hold back their regular sitting posture.

"Is this the little fool?"

"He looks good in this suit, but why did Brother Yu bring him here?"

"You are stupid, of course we are studying together."

"You are stupid! He is not a real prince, how could he study with us, and he is wearing the clothes of a school boy!"

Hearing their discussion, Tong Sui glanced there.

The two chubby boys who were about the same age as him were arguing. When they saw him looking over, they blushed at the same time. One of them said angrily, "Hey! What are you looking at! Did I say something wrong!"

Tong Sui said: "The two Highnesses are right, I am a book boy, but I also want to study with you, can I?"

As princes, there must be flattery around them, but the boy who spoke was sincere, with a white and tender face, and his voice was soft.

The two little princes were speechless for a moment.

Chu Yunyu glanced at them, and pulled Tong Sui to sit down.

"Leave them alone."

After a while, a middle-aged man with elegant demeanor came in and stepped onto the podium.

All the princes stood up and respectfully said, "Teacher Zhang."

Tong Sui also stood up.

He had seen this man, Zhang Yanru, who was called the head of civil servants and the chief assistant of the cabinet in the early court that day.

Zhang Yanru nodded.

He glanced at the various princes under his seat, and naturally found Tong Sui who was mixed among them.

"Yunyu, have you forgotten the rules of Shangshufang? Only the children of the royal family can study here."

Although Zhang Yanru didn't say it clearly, but the meaning of wanting to chase Tong Sui away couldn't be more obvious.

The other little princes peeked nervously.

In the beginning, they would definitely feel that Tong Sui was not worthy to sit and study with them, but now they are all attracted by this beautiful, well-behaved and pitiful little book boy.

Of course he didn't want to be driven away just like that.

Chu Yunyu was taught a lesson by Zhang Yanru yesterday, and now he wanted to refute, but the momentary fear prevailed.

"Why is Mr. Zhang Ge so strict?" A somewhat weak voice came, "The purpose of education in this dynasty has always been to teach without discrimination. No distinction is made between high and low, and everyone is treated equally."

Zhang Yanru's figure suddenly changed, and his complexion was very serious for a while.

Even the princes at the banquet had different expressions.

I saw a slender figure standing outside the door, with black hair and white clothes. Even though he was wearing a fox fur cloak, he needed to hold the stove in his hand to keep warm.

And he was accompanied by several entourages, as well as a cabinet scholar.

Rong Jin said indifferently: "You have profound knowledge, how can you not understand such a simple truth?"

Tong Sui's eyelashes trembled.

Although he had obtained photos and screen clips from the system's information, the feeling was still much different from what he saw with his own eyes.

He looked as if he was ill.

Why is the body so bad?Is it the occasional cold?Or is it a bad foundation?

Tong Sui stared at Rong Jin standing at the door without blinking, this scorching gaze naturally attracted Rong Jin, he glanced at it coldly.

Normal people have already lowered their heads in fear, but Tong Sui's eyesight has not decreased but increased, on the contrary, it has become more energetic.

Zhang Yanru's hands under his long sleeves were clenched into fists, how could he not know that Rong Jin's words were trying to scare him.

He said: "Master Rong, why don't you stay in the Rites Supervisor, and why do you come to my Shang's study? Could it be that the Governor wants to take over the position and hinder the old minister's assistance."

"Mr. Zhang Ge, don't get me wrong, you and I are just helping the emperor to solve problems, and naturally we are also concerned about the current situation of the princes," Rong Jin chuckled, "If you care, I will just leave."

After Rong Jin left, Tong Sui continued to look in the direction he left, his eyes felt sour, until only the flowers and plants covered by the wind and snow were left outside, he reluctantly looked away.

I don't know when the next meeting will be.

Zhang Yanru waved to Tong Sui, "Okay, sit down, you don't have to go out."

Tong Sui sat down obediently.

Zhang Yanru started today's lecture.

Chu Yunyu whispered: "Next time, don't stare at that person like that just now."

"Who?"

"Rong Jin," Chu Yunyu said, "Don't look at him as a sickly person. He is a well-known treacherous official. This world was originally the world of my Chu family. This Rong Jin controls the government and forms a party for personal gain. Wait for me to ascend the throne."After that, he must be the first to kill him."

Tong Sui's ink grinding hand trembled, and the ink splashed a few points.

Chu Yunyu thought he was afraid, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I will never treat you like this. I let you stay by my side, which means I like you."

Tong Sui looked at him with complicated meanings.

If it followed the normal plot, Chu Yunyu would not only kill Rong Jin after ascending the throne in the later period, but also let his corpse hang in the downtown area.

It's just that at this moment, Chu Yunyu is still a young man with a simple mind.

But she already has murderous intentions towards Rong Jin.

what to do...

Inside Supervisor.

Rong Jin sat on the top seat, with the memorial book waiting to be approved by his hand, he took the hot tea handed over by his subordinates without haste, took a sip, and then slowly raised his eyes.

"Supervisor, all the names involved in the case of the Minister of the Household Department are on it," the commander of Jin Yiwei submitted the list, "Do you also want to take down the officials who have made good friends with him?"

Rong Jin flipped through the pages, the long list was densely written, at least there were hundreds of people, he picked up the ink pen at hand and drew a few circles on the list.

"Keep these few people, and cut off the others."

The Commander of Jin Yiwei took it and took a look, "Master, these people usually talk bad things about you behind your back, especially this Suzhou prefect, who openly scolded you after being drunk, and even wrote a poem to slander you."

He said he presented the incriminating evidence.

Rong Jin read the content of the poem once, scolding him inside and out, just when everyone thought that there would be another wrath, the people in the seat just laughed, "The literary talent is good, tell the prefect of Suzhou, justSaid that the governor accepted it."

"This."

The commander of Jin Yiwei could only say yes, and retreated respectfully with the list, his head full of confusion.

"Brother, why do you think the governor has such a strange temper?"

The younger brother next to him said: "The Minister of the Household Department scolded him a few words in private. He mobilized people to raid and kill all over the house. He also dragged a large number of officials into the water. Why did he suddenly have such a good temper when he came to the prefect of Suzhou?"

It stands to reason that the prefect of Suzhou is a well-known upright official, it is impossible to join forces with Rong Jin, and it is useless to keep him, he might as well kill the person who replaces him.

The commander of Jin Yiwei couldn't understand the reason, and waved his hand when asked, "If you can guess what the governor thinks, it's your turn to take my position."

The younger brother sighed, "How dare I."

"Okay, just do it," Jin Yiwei's commander said, "As long as we serve the governor well, we will not worry about not having a good life."

Only Rong Jin and the bachelor were left in the Supervisor.

Rong Jin flipped through the memorial on the table, looked at it casually and shouted: "Liu Zhongtang."

The Grand Maester couldn't help but tense up, and bent down to salute.

"Liu Zhongtang has been teaching in the Shangshufang for a long time, and he must have a certain understanding of the princes. If the emperor is buried in the future, which prince do you think is most likely to ascend the throne?"

Liu Zhongtang swallowed nervously, "Although there is no explicit regulation in this dynasty, all dynasties have established the eldest son but not the virtuous. Chu Yunyu, born to the queen, is naturally the first choice."

"What Liu Zhongtang said is very true," Rong Jin sighed, seemingly helplessly said: "The new emperors of all dynasties will inevitably wash the court with blood and slaughter the old ministers. Now the emperor's dragon body is getting worse and worse. I'm afraid it won't be long before you and IThere is no escape from this.”

After Liu Zhongtang heard this, his knees became weak and he knelt down.

"This, this Chu Yunyu is said to be the most favorable candidate for the throne, but he has not been formally canonized as the prince after all, and the queen's family is now weak and there is nothing to fear."

Liu Zhongtang's voice trembled and his heart beat like a drum.

"Everyone in the world only knows your name, and the governor will be able to establish himself as king at that time..."

Rong Jin said: "Liu Zhongtang is so courageous!"

Liu Zhongtang knelt down on the ground, his forehead pressed against the cold ground, his whole heart was hanging on a thread, his underwear was wet with cold sweat, and he was trembling with fear.

"Supervisor, please calm down. I didn't intend to encourage you to rebel, but you have contributed a lot to the Chu Dynasty, so you should never end up like a dead dog."

A weak cough came from the top of his head, Rong Jin said slowly, "Liu Zhongtang, please get up."

Liu Zhongtang was drenched in cold sweat, unable to react for a while, only secretly observed Rong Jin's expression to confirm that there was no anger on that handsome face, and then struggled to stand up on his legs that had been weakening for a long time.

"I understand that Liu Zhongtang is thinking about me, but I have a body of eunuchs, and I have no descendants. I don't follow the will of heaven, and I don't like the hearts of the people,"

Rong Jin said, "How can I sit on this dragon chair?"

Liu Zhongtang understood what he meant, "Since this is the case, Governor, you can choose one of the princes, with veterans to assist you. When he succeeds to the throne in the future, your position, Governor, will be even more unshakable."

A little smile appeared on the corner of Rong Jin's lips.

"Then according to Liu Zhongtang's opinion, how should the governor choose?"

Liu Zhongtang said: "The second prince, mother and concubine are powerful and difficult to control, the third prince is too dull to be sacred, and the remaining princes are too young..."

"My Lord Governor has heard that among the princes, one was brought back from outside the capital, and was born to the emperor and the courtesan of the brothel."

"There is indeed such a thing. This child is the little book boy we saw today. He is twelve years old now,"

Liu Zhongtang persuaded: "But he is born weak, stupid and stupid, and he is often bullied by the prince and servants on weekdays."

"The most important thing is that his name is not recorded in the genealogy of the clan's mansion, and his background is low, so it is really difficult to persuade other ministers to establish a crown prince."

"It doesn't matter, the heroes don't ask where they come from, and the ministers who really can't be persuaded will be killed at that time," Rong Jin ordered lightly: "Go, bring that little book boy here. You'll know if you succeed or not."

The author has something to say:

Years old: With his current image and identity, he definitely doesn't have the slightest interest in him.

Rong Jin:???
