Mid-Autumn Festival.
Jingren Palace, one of the six eastern palaces.
This was originally the residence of Queen Tong Jia of Xiao Yiren.
Fourth elder brother Yinzhen was raised by Queen Xiao Yiren when he was a child, and he grew up here.
In June, after Kangxi named Su Mingzhe the crown prince, Su Mingzhe did not go to live in Yuqing Palace in Yinreng, but lived in Jingren Palace.
The fourteenth elder brother Yin re-entered the palace after being imprisoned for half a year. He did not go to pay his respects to his mother-in-law, Concubine De, but first came to Jingren Palace to express her gratitude.
After all, he formed a gang with Yin and others and committed a heinous crime. He was released so quickly because he, the fourth brother of the same mother, had a great contribution.
"Yin greets the Crown Prince!"
"No need, my fourteenth brother is here, please sit down first!"
After Su Mingzhe approved the memorial in his hand, he put down his brush and looked at his brother whom he had not seen for many days.
They are said to be blood brothers, but in fact, one of the brothers is a prostitute and the other is a gangster. Not only are they not close relatives, but they are considered sworn enemies.
Now when the two meet again, Su Mingzhe has become the prince and the heir apparent of the Qing Dynasty, full of high spirits and high spirits.
But Yin was reduced to a prisoner, with a haggard appearance and a stooped waist.
The huge difference in status knocked out the last bit of energy from Yin's body, and her eyes were all about trying to please Su Mingzhe.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yin sat down carefully, his expression full of restraint and caution.
Seeing this, Su Mingzhe couldn't bear to ask him how he was doing recently, but felt that such words were a bit redundant.
After thinking for a moment, Su Mingzhe still had a cold face and scolded:
"You have been imprisoned for more than half a year, but have you reflected on what you did wrong?"
"Yinzhi was wrong!"
Yin did not dare to neglect, and began to reflect in various ways in a panic.
Seeing his appearance, Su Mingzhe felt a little resentful that iron could not become steel. He couldn't help but scolded him:
"Hmph! You guys are so brave and dignified princes that you even used such despicable means as the "Hundred Officials". You really disgraced the Qing Dynasty..."
"You know your guilt, you know your guilt!"
Yin stood up again, bowed his back, and kept confessing.
After a while, after Su Mingzhe finished scolding, he said seriously:
"Before, I always thought that you two just couldn't stand the second brother, so you banded together and started some petty fights. I didn't expect that you guys were so unsatisfactory that you did something even more outrageous than the second brother!"
"Huang Ama is so angry with you that she has suffered from old illnesses, and now she can't even handle government affairs. So, for the time being, you have to think about it in front of the wall in your own house! Be patient for two or three years, and temper your temper..."
"Thank you, fourth brother!"
After hearing Su Mingzhe's words, Yin felt sad for some reason, her eyes were red, and she couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.
During the half year of being imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, Yin suffered a lot. He was really afraid that he would be locked up for the rest of his life and would never see the light of day again.
Now, as the prince, Su Mingzhe personally promised to release him in a few years.
Yin immediately became full of hope for the future.
Seeing that this guy had regained some vitality, Su Mingzhe stood up and said:
"Let's go and pay our respects to E Niang. During the period when you were imprisoned, E Niang was the saddest and most painful!"
Inside Yonghe Palace.
Because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Honghui and several princes and elder brothers did not go to class. They accompanied E Niang early in the morning to pay their respects to the imperial concubine De Fei.
As soon as this old man got older, he became fond of his youngest sons and eldest grandsons.
Without Yin often coming to say hello, Honghui became Concubine De's darling.
When Concubine De hugged her eldest grandson, she didn't even look at her two nieces.
As for Nian Shilan and Lan Xin, who came together to pay their respects, they were like transparent people and did not even have a chance to speak.
Suddenly, a leader eunuch hurriedly entered the door and announced the good news:
"Empress, Prince
I’ve brought Master Thirteen here to say hello to you!”
"Quick, please come in!"
As soon as Concubine De heard that her youngest son had arrived, she happily picked up her eldest grandson and was about to go out to greet her, but Rouze and Yixiu held her back:
"Auntie, just sit here. The prince and the fourteenth brother will be here soon!"
As his man became more and more prosperous, Yi Xiu also gradually lost his temper. He didn't care about the status of himself and Yin in Concubine De's heart, which was more important, so he said:
"Auntie, the fourteenth brother followed Lao Ba and the others and made such a big mistake. You have to talk to him properly later, but you can't coddle him like before..."
"I know I know."
When Concubine De heard the news that Yin was coming, she had long since stopped thinking about them. She even gave up on her eldest grandson. She didn't even listen to a word of what Rou Ze and Yi Xiu said.
Not long after, Su Mingzhe took Yin into the main hall.
Everyone finished the ceremony.
Concubine De hugged Yin and cried bitterly, making Yin feel embarrassed for a while.
In the end, Rou Ze and Yi Xiu worked together to persuade her, and Concubine De was able to stabilize her mood.
Seeing that her youngest son was fine except for being a little thinner, Concubine De was a little relieved, but then she said to Su Mingzhe:
"Yinzhen, what do you say about your brother? Do you want to continue to imprison him?"
When Su Mingzhe saw what Concubine De said, he immediately smiled bitterly and said:
"Mother, you don't know what a bad influence the "Hundred Officials" has had on the court. There are so many civil and military officials in the court, and you want to tear up four of them! It's impossible for Emperor Ama to do this easily. , just let Yin go!"
"That "Hundred Officials" was not created by Yin and Yin? What does it have to do with your brother?"
Seeing that Su Mingzhe refused to agree to her, Concubine De immediately entered an 'unreasonable' state:
"I don't care, you are the prince now and you are still responsible for supervising the country. Can't you even save your brother?"
"Mother, this is the emperor's decree!"
Seeing Concubine De like this, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but feel bored and irritated:
"I can take advantage of the good news that my thirteenth brother put down the Zhungeer rebellion and let Yin go back to his hometown to think about his mistakes. It's already good. If I want to go further, I can only wait for a new opportunity..."
"Mother, fourth brother is right!"
Seeing that her own mother was constantly forcing Su Mingzhe, Yin was afraid that she would annoy her brother who was already the prince, so he quickly helped Su Mingzhe persuade her to become Concubine De.
With Yin's persuasion, Concubine De's mood was slightly controlled.
Later, Concubine De asked that Yin must be allowed to visit her every few days.
Su Mingzhe saw that if he didn't agree, the concubine would act like a fool, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.
This old lady is getting more and more unreasonable as she gets older!
After spending the Mid-Autumn Festival at De Fei's place.
Su Mingzhe returned to his busy state.
It's October in the blink of an eye.
Kangxi sent news from Jinling, saying that he would inspect the rivers and salt channels in the south of the Yangtze River, and asked Su Mingzhe to continue to supervise the country.
By this time, Su Mingzhe had gathered more than half of the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China, and more than half of the provincial officials who came to Beijing to report on their duties had also visited the East Palace.
Say something rude.
At this time, if Su Mingzhe shouted, hundreds of civil and military officials would persuade Kangxi to take the throne.
Fortunately, Su Mingzhe has always been relatively pragmatic and doesn't care much about whether he is the emperor or not.
Before I knew it, it was late winter.
On this day, it snowed heavily.
Shi Shilun, the newly appointed governor of Shuntian Prefecture, came to report that people were freezing to death in the slums in the south of the city and at several docks outside the city. He asked the prince to mobilize animal resources for disaster relief.
Su Mingzhe immediately approved and ordered the nine admirals to work together to cooperate with Shi Shilun, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, in disaster relief.
At the same time, Shi Shilun was also appointed as the left deputy censor of the capital and the title of minister of household affairs.
With the title of Minister of Household Affairs, all levels and departments
They are all very cooperative.
On the third day, Shi Shilun led everyone to control the disaster.
Just when all the Chinese, civil and military officials in the capital were about to go up to the table to congratulate him.
The nine admirals, Tuoheqi, took the lead and impeached Shi Shilun for "inviting to buy people's hearts" and having "ulterior motives"!
