The first thousand and twenty-six chapters know well
This man was Yunxiang. Mo Yu handed the cloak out from the carriage and said, "Do you want me to wait here for you, Your Majesty?"
"No, I might stay in the Old Summer Palace for dinner. It's freezing outside. You'd better go back quickly and ask Lao Zhang to drive the carriage over."
Seeing that Yunxiang had made up his mind, he could only say: "Well, Your Majesty, be careful."
After the carriage drove away, Yunxiang entered the Old Summer Palace again. Everyone here recognized him, and even knew that he was the Emperor's most trusted Thirteenth Master. No one dared to stop him, and allowed him to go to Luoyun Kaiyue unimpeded.
Pavilion.
"Hey, Thirteenth Master, why did you come back?" Sixi, who was waiting outside, saw Yunxiang coming and quickly saluted.
Yunxiang ignored his words and asked directly: "Is the emperor inside?"
"Replying to the Thirteenth Master, the Emperor is resting inside. How about I go and inform you?"
Just as Yunxiang was about to agree, Yinzhen's voice came from inside, "Is it Lao Shisan? Come in."
When Yunxiang went in, he saw Yinzhen holding a red jade teapot and pouring tea into the cup. He poured it very slowly, and thin drops of tea fell into the cup. It took a long time for the cup to be filled eighty percent full.
After signaling Yunxiang to sit down, Yinzhen handed the poured tea to him, and then poured himself another cup. Yunxiang smiled and said, "Why doesn't the emperor let Sixi and the others do these things?"
Yinzhen smiled slightly and said: "If I let them take care of everything, wouldn't it make me less diligent? Besides, pouring tea like this also allows me to calm down. But you, haven't you already left? Why are you back again?"
"
Yunxiang held the tea cup and said hesitantly: "I just saw the second elder brother and the eighth elder brother were very close to each other outside the garden. I was afraid that the second elder brother would be deceived by the eighth elder brother and the others and something would happen, so I went to tell the emperor specifically.
One sound."
Yinzhen listened silently, and after he finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and said, "Old Thirteen, how does this tea taste? You are the first person in the civil and military dynasties to have me pour tea with my own hands."
"Your Majesty, you..." Yunxiang's reaction to him was very strange. Yinzhen had always disliked Lao Ba, but now that he heard that his son was getting close to Lao Ba, he didn't say anything and was in the mood to enjoy tea.
Yinzhen interrupted him and said, "Drink first and then talk."
Yunxiang had no choice but to take a few sips, and after tasting it carefully, he said: "It's sweet and delicious, with a strong fragrance of flowers, which is endlessly memorable. It should be Wuyi rock tea."
Yinzhen smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days. You have improved a lot in the tea ceremony. I just made Wuyi rock tea in a few mouthfuls. When I leave, I will take a pound back and drink it."
I'll have someone send it to you later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." He agreed in this way. Seeing that Yinzhen didn't speak, Yunxiang couldn't help but said again: "Your Majesty, about the second elder brother..."
"Yunxiang." Yinzhen suddenly raised his head, the smile no longer in his clear eyes, "Among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, you are the only one who has me pour tea with my own hands, but you are also the only one who dares to tell me these things.
The rest, even Zhang Tingyu
, Acton and the others would never dare to mention it when they saw it, for fear of being accused of estrangement. I don’t believe that you were the only one who saw this, but you Yunxiang was the only one who returned to the garden." Seeing that Yunxiang did not speak,
He said: "What's wrong? Am I right?"
Yunxiang held the tea cup and bowed and said: "What the emperor said is true, but the ministers have their own concerns if they don't say it. They are always... estranged and unable to get close to each other."
"What is alienation and what is closeness are just what they take for granted." Yinzhen sighed softly and looked down at the cup filled with tea mist, "I have been sitting in this position for more than three years, but the longer I sit, the more I feel...
There are many civil and military officials in the dynasty. There are many loyal people, but there are still too few who dare to tell the truth in front of me."
Yunxiang was well aware of Yinzhen's hardships over the years, and comforted him: "Your Majesty, please don't say that. Under your rule, the Qing Dynasty is flourishing, and it is more prosperous than when Emperor Amma was alive, and your Majesty
Several new policies have been implemented in succession, which have benefited the people, and the people are praising the emperor for his kindness. As for the truth... Isn't my younger brother still here? My younger brother will never say a false word in front of the emperor."
"I know." Yinzhen stood up and patted Yunxiang's shoulder and said with emotion: "The luckiest thing in my life is that I have a good brother like you. If you hadn't always supported me, I would have been reduced to the eighth child now.
prisoner."
Yunxiang said with emotion: "Your Majesty, please don't say that. Your Majesty is favored by destiny. Even if Yunshu and the others are treasonous, they will never be able to touch a hair on His Majesty's face. And in my eyes, the Emperor is the only minister who has a brother like you."
It is my great fortune that if it had not been for the Emperor, I would have been dead long ago."
Yinzhen said nothing, but patted Yunxiang's shoulder with reddish eyes. After his emotions calmed down a bit, he said, "Do you still remember those two people who followed Hongshi during the two competitions?"
Seeing that Yinzhen turned the topic to Hongshi, Yunxiang cheered up and said: "My brother remembers that these two people are the sons of Bage. One is called Hongchang, the eldest son of Prince Lian's house, and the other is called Hongmin.
"At this point, he suddenly realized, "Your Majesty, do you know?"
"Do you really think I don't know anything?" Yinzhen shook his head and returned to the chair to sit down, sipped his tea and said, "I'm not blind, how could I not see that they intend to protect Hongshi." When he said this, he suddenly thought of
One day, he looked a little surprised and said: "Hongchang is the crown prince? Then is his mother-in-law..."
Yunxiang knew that he must be thinking of Nalan Mei'er. During the previous lunch, Yinzhen had gone to Jianlou to toast. When he saw Nalan Mei'er, although he didn't say anything, the nostalgia and affection in his eyes was lingering.
Go, more than twenty years
But he still never let go. But he also knew that for Yinzhen at that time, Nalan Meier was all the joy and beauty. That feeling had been engraved in his heart for a long time, and it was not easy to forget it.
"Yes, Hongchang's mother-in-law is Bage's direct descendant." Yunxiang deliberately emphasized the word "direct descendant", hoping to remind Yinzhen that no matter how unforgettable it is, everything has passed. Time flies.
They can go back in time, and they can't go back to the past.
How could Yinzhen not understand the meaning of Yunxiang's words? He endured the disgust and helplessness in his heart and said indifferently: "Yes, she is Lao Ba's direct descendant Fujin."
"Your Majesty, you..." Yunxiang was about to persuade him a few more words, but Yinzhen had already raised his hand and said: "Okay, don't mention these irrelevant things anymore and get back to the point. Do you know what they talked about?
"
Seeing that he didn't want to mention it anymore, Yunxiang didn't dare to say anything more. He just said: "My brother was just passing by at that time and didn't listen carefully. But when I saw the second elder brother, I seemed to be very grateful to my eighth brother."
