"Pedantry!" Yinxiang spat out these two words in a fierce voice, and his slightly narrowed eyes flashed with light that surprised Yinzhen, "Huang Ama has so many princes, but in terms of ability and merit, none of them can match the four princes.
Brother, don't
People don’t know it, but I have always seen it. Although I have been isolated from the outside world for more than ten years, I believe that Fourth Brother will remain the same as before. You have done so much, but the throne has fallen into the hands of others. I wonder, Fourth Brother, will you be willing?
?”
Yinzhen was very excited by what he said. Indeed, he was never willing to give in. But if he really wanted to fight with them, brothers would kill each other. He had been in the court for decades, and he had offended many people because of his actions, and he wanted to avoid being punished.
He is labeled as a clique for personal gain. In recent years, he has never tried to win over any minister to show favor to him. If we fight for him, he is afraid that he has little chance of winning.
On the other side, Yinxiang's words continued, "Furthermore, there are only a few people who have the ability to compete for the throne. Let's not talk about the eldest brother and the second brother. The third brother is a scheming person. Although he pretends to love poetry and books all day long,
But that was just a way to cover up his ambition; Lao Ba, Lao Jiu, Lao Ten and Lao Fourteen,
They are a group of people. They have been fighting with Fourth Brother for so many years. Once they gain power, will they let Fourth Brother go? Especially the Fourteenth, he is brave and fierce but also narrow-minded. He will retaliate if he shows his teeth." Yin Li.
It was after Yinxiang was imprisoned that he began to gradually show his talents, so Yinxiang was not clear about this and did not mention him.
Yinzhen never expected that Yinxiang, who had been imprisoned for more than ten years, would have such a profound understanding of the situation, which coincided with his own. Just knowing is one thing, whether he can do it is another
He immediately said: "Thirteenth brother, to tell you the truth, I know all this, but it is absolutely impossible to conspire and rebel. What's more, I can't do this with my power in the court."
Yinxiang shook his head, "I didn't let Fourth Brother take this step. I just remind you that there must be no womanly kindness on the road to imperial power. If you have to fight, fight, even if it turns him upside down." In addition to treason, there are also
There are many relatively simple and easy-to-use methods, such as correcting edicts. I believe Fourth Brother also understands this, and there is no need for him to be too straightforward.
"In addition, Huang Ama should fight harder. After all, Huang Ama's succession is the orthodox one." At this point, Yinxiang suddenly rushed back to the house, and after a while he came out with a piece of paper and unfolded it.
Come on, there are lots of names on it.
"This is what I wrote when I had nothing to do in the past few years. They were all used by me in the army before. There were thirty or forty people, but some of them were profit-oriented, and some were just losers. They would fall in whatever direction the wind blew.
, there are also some who are too gloomy and can’t be trusted, but those who can be trusted
There are only a dozen of them, and I have circled them with a pen just now. When the time comes, Brother Four can find these people to work with." At this point, he smiled bitterly and said, "It's a pity that I'm trapped here, otherwise there would be more people who can use it.
, there are a few who can’t move except for me.”
Yinzhen took the list and said solemnly: "These are enough. Thank you thirteenth brother. Regardless of success or failure, fourth brother, I will try my best to fight."
Yinxiang smiled and said: "Fourth brother comes here once in a while, drink with me for a while before leaving."
"Okay." Yinzhen agreed without thinking, and walked inside with Yinxiang. The house was still the same as before, but because it had not been repaired for many years, it looked a bit old. The window paper was yellow and some places were broken. It was cold in the winter.
The cold wind of the twelfth lunar month kept blowing in through the loopholes. Even though several servants wore thick cotton-padded jackets in the house, they were still shivering from the cold and did not light a charcoal fire.
Yinzhen frowned as soon as he came in, "What does the Ministry of Internal Affairs do for food? Even if the window paper is torn, they won't replace it. Emperor Ama just imprisoned you and did not reduce your expenses."
"Let them go." Yinxiang waved his hand nonchalantly, "The tiger fell flat and was bullied by the dog. Besides, those guys in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all red-topped and white-haired. It's not worth getting angry with them."
Yinzhen snorted and said nothing, but he had already made up his mind to reprimand the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs when he returned.
"Who is Master Thirteen talking to? Why does this slave seem to have heard the voice of Prince Yong?" As this clear and clear voice came, a slender figure walked out. When she saw Yinzhen
, was stunned for a moment, and stood in a daze for a while before he came back to his senses, knelt down and cried: "My slave, Moyu, pays your respects to the prince. May the prince be blessed with peace and prosperity."
More than ten years are enough to change a person's appearance a lot. Yinzhen didn't recognize Mo Yu for a while, and it wasn't until she reported her name that she realized that she had a deep love for Yinxiang. After Yinxiang was imprisoned,
Even the woman who is willing to abandon everything to come here to accompany Yinzhen, Yinzhen has always been quite
He liked it, and immediately ordered her to get up. After taking a closer look at Mo Yu, he found that she had pulled up her long hair and changed into a woman's dress. She vaguely understood something in her heart, but she was even happier. Although Mo Yu's background was lower, but
A friend in need is a friend indeed, and the sincerity she showed towards Yinxiang was enough to earn her a reputation.
"Mo Yu, go and cook some vegetables for us, and bring a pot of good wine. I want to have a drink with Fourth Brother." Yinxiang said with a smile, and the arrival of Yinzhen cleared away the gloom in his heart.
Mo Yu moved very quickly, and within a short time he brought out three dishes: a plate of scrambled eggs with green pepper, a plate of Mapo tofu, and an assorted first-class hot pot.
When the wine was served, Mo Yu warned uneasily: "Thirteenth Master, you are not in good health, so you can't drink more of this wine."
"I know, it's just a small drink." After Mo Yu retreated, Yin Xiang poured a glass of wine for Yinzhen and himself. Yinzhen rubbed the round mouth of the cup and said, "Mo Yu's background is lower, but
Since you want her, treat her well in the future, otherwise your sister-in-law will not be able to spare you."
"Don't worry, Fourth Brother." Yinxiang sighed deeply and said, "If it weren't for Mo Yu, I'm afraid Fourth Brother wouldn't be able to see me anymore."
Even though he knew that Yinxiang was right in front of him, when he heard this, Yinzhen still felt extremely uncomfortable. There were so many brothers, but his best friend was only one Yinxiang. "You have to be open-minded about everything, otherwise it would be a blessing in disguise."
Not a blessing."
Yinxiang smiled bitterly and said: "Fourth brother, you won't understand it until you have tasted it. Sitting here, there is only this piece of sky in sight. I know that the sky is huge outside, but I can't get out. It feels so frustrating."
I almost went crazy. It happened to be at this time that Zhaojia and her children were gone again. I felt that what I saw
It was all gray and without a trace of color. At that time, I was very desperate. I drank to relieve my sorrows all day long. I soaked myself in a wine vat day and night to forget the pain of bone erosion. My body was like that at that time.
I'm so drunk." He stroked his face and laughed at himself: "Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I wonder if I am very old."
"Later, Mo Yu came, and she was like a clear spring, slowly liberating me from the deep pain. At that time, I couldn't quit drinking, and she stayed with me. I don't even remember when I was driven crazy by alcohol addiction.
I bit her so many times, but fortunately I finally quit." When saying this, Yinxiang was very happy. Without Mo Yu, his life would have been gloomy until now.
