The fourteenth chapter: Lu Yinxiang, who stayed behind, ambush the soldiers, and Prince Bu Qiancheng asked
When he came out of the Banished Immortal Tower, Yinxiang seemed to have suffered a serious illness, and his whole body was limp. When it was Shen Shi, he returned to the mansion. He asked for wine and drank it hard. Zi Gu didn't know what happened, so she called Zhao Fuxing.
When asked, Zhao Fuxing was also confused. Zigu hurriedly asked someone to prepare a sobering soup and came to persuade him: "In theory, I shouldn't persuade you. I also need to take more care of myself! Wine is the same as women.
It’s not a good thing. I have to make a pretense to prevent someone from picking on me. Last time I came back and said that the Tenth Master had a drinking problem and let the Long Live Master see him. Didn’t he have to kneel for half a day as a penalty? If it was true,
It would be a shame on the faces of the servants if I were to encounter this bad luck."
"Woman? Aren't you also a female...er...person?" Yinxiang drank and said, "Is it possible that you are jealous when you go to the Immortal Exile Tower? Don't worry, I won't treat you badly! You are the only one who says that a woman is not
Good thing, these words have touched my heart now... Come on! Have a drink... have a drink!" After saying that, he handed the wine to him. Seeing Zigu dodge, he smiled and said, "Actually, it's not just women who are bad.
I know that men are not damn good...good things! What about being the king of heaven and earth, being benevolent, righteous, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthy? That is what the saint made up to deceive the world. What about the world? Lie to others, lie to others! Tell... tell
You! If you deceive someone into unconsciousness, he is a prince; if you are deceived into unconsciousness, he is a thief! I have seen through it!"
Seeing that he was about to vomit the wine, Zigu hurriedly walked around behind him and gave him a gentle slap on the back. After beating him for a while, her voice was choked: "Master, since you have seen through it, just stay at home and don't go out to take care of things! What are you doing?
Master, Fourth Master, Eighth Master, Ninth Master, Crown Prince, Emperor, they can take care of their own affairs. What’s the point of being so hot-tempered?” “Okay!” Yinxiang clapped his hands and laughed, “That’s a good saying, I like it.
I underestimated you!" Seeing Zhao Fuxing stretch out his head and then retract it, he stopped and said: "Xing'er! How dare you eavesdrop on me!"
"How dare you, slave?" Zhao Fuxing came out and said with a smile, "Master Shi, Master You brought a group of people to pay homage and asked me to come in and have a look. I have some wine right now, so I asked them to come back tomorrow."
"Tomorrow will take care of tomorrow," Yinxiang suddenly said a Kangxi mantra, "Call, call in!"
Zigu hurriedly handed Yinxiang the sobering soup and said, "Sir, please wake up and be alert. Don't say what you just said in front of outsiders." She then took a wet towel and gave Yinxiang a sobering stone.
Shi Shilun and You Mingtang walked in one after another. Behind them were a group of forty or fifty people. These people were sergeants selected from the Green Camp where Yin Xiang was training when he entered the Ministry of Household Affairs under the order.
I went into the department to help run errands. In an instant, the hall was packed, and everyone looked depressed, as if they were mourning for their heirs.
"No need to ask for any favors!" Yinxiang raised his legs and leaned back on the chair and said, "Sit! Sit! Zigu, ask them to bring more stools!" After all these people took their seats, Yinxiang asked:
"What happened in the ministry again?"
Shi Shilun and You Mingtang looked at each other. After a while, You Mingtang said: "There is nothing going on in the ministry. The two of us have just met the emperor, the prince, and came here to say goodbye to the Thirteenth Master..." "Farewell!"
Yinxiang sat up straight at once, "Why are you resigning? Where are you going?" Shi Shilun breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thirteenth Master, when the emperor summoned him just now, he had already called him to the study to draft the decree. I am appointed as the governor of Shandong, Mingtang
As the chief envoy to Yunnan, my order is very urgent. I will make preparations tomorrow and have to leave Beijing early the next morning..." He said with a sad expression.
"Is it because of my use of medicinal tea?" Yinxiang suddenly stood up angrily, "Zhao Fuxing! Prepare the sedan, I want to hand over a sign to see you!" You Mingtang stopped Zhao Fuxing and pushed Yinxiang to sit down.
He came down and said: "Thirteenth Master! We are changing the positions!" After saying that, he stopped talking. Yinxiang turned around and said: "Zi Gu, you all get out!"
Shi Shilun saw that he was so careful when he was drunk, and couldn't help but nodded appreciatively and said: "This is the master's intention to protect us. You have to be considerate, Thirteenth Master. Fourth Master also said the same and advised us to leave. He said: 'Let's go.
Let's go, just leave as soon as possible - 'Thirteenth Master, do you want to keep it safe? If you stay in the Ministry of Household Affairs, it goes without saying that you also understand that we will still suffer a big loss in the near future. At that time, we can afford it
?" Yinxiang patted his head and said: "I'm so drunk that I can't think of anything. Let's not talk about it anymore - who will be the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs? Isn't there a clue? Besides, what should I do?"
"There is no decree for this yet. From the emperor's tone, it seems that he wants Aling'alai to be the minister." You Mingtang said, "As for the Thirteenth Master, you don't have to worry. The emperor is willing to protect us, let alone you.
Woolen cloth?"
Only then did Yinxiang realize that these people had come to comfort him when they saw that he was sad. He couldn't help but feel moved. He took two sips of tea in silence and said to the crowd: "Don't be so sad. You have to stop this way and go that way.
You can't tell what's going to happen next! Don't look at me dumbfounded, I've been preparing for this day for a long time!" After saying that, he got up and went into the back room. Everyone was in a daze when Yin Xiang came out again and turned to the left.
An official sitting there said: "Bao Erhe, look, what is this?" He handed over a stack of documents stamped with the Ministry of War's Customs and Defense.
"Appoint Zazi!" Bao Erhe was a little confused and leaned forward and said, "Thirteenth Master, what are you doing-"
Yinxiang's face glowed red and he smiled proudly: "By the way, appoint Zazi! You, Bilita, Zhang Yu, Duan Fugui...and Xiao Ying, Lun Erjin, dozens of you were all trained when I was training in Mulan
The personal soldiers who have been sent out. I originally wanted you to follow me and shine brightly, and you have to be rewarded and replaced by civil servants. Now it seems that it is not possible, but I have asked the Ministry of War to prepare to appoint Zha Zi. - How many are here today? One or two
Three, four, five... forty-six - there are eight more who have not come. Everyone has a share and will be promoted to President Qian! I will see Zhao Fengchun tomorrow and fill the vacancy nearby in Beijing." After saying this, he burst out laughing, but tears fell from his eyes.
His eyes came out. Dozens of people saw him like this, and they were all sentimental. Zhang Yu and others all knelt down. Lun'er said: "Thirteenth Master, with your heart... what should you tell the slaves? When you transferred the slaves,
Come on, this slave is still a little scared. Now he has figured out what you want, Thirteenth Master, and we will follow you!"
"Master Thirteen is so loyal, I, Xu Yuanzhi, will follow you until the sun goes dark!"
"Please invite the Thirteenth Master to come to the palace to ask for the order, leave Master Shi behind, and we will continue our work!"
"Don't be stupid!" Yinxiang sighed with a smile, "Thirty-six tactics are the best. Your Majesty knows you, Lao Shi, Lao You, but I don't know you guys? Why do you need to be messed up?"
Shi Shilun was afraid that he would say some other crazy things, so he quickly stood up and said, "Thirteenth Master, we are leaving tomorrow and we have to go back to make preparations. Do you have any other instructions?"
"I won't keep you anymore." Yinxiang held Shi Shilun with one hand and You Mingtang with the other. He looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "We will set off the day after tomorrow, and I will personally go see you off - you must remember one thing, as long as I don't fall, I will make a comeback! But!
Having said that, I can't say for sure at the moment whether I am finished or not. So you don't have to write me any letters... Do you understand?" After saying that, they waved their hands. Everyone resigned and went out, feeling very grateful for Yinxiang's death.
Honesty.
Yinxiang slept soundly all night and didn't wake up until Chen. When he saw Zi Gu coming in, he said, "Send someone to go to the study to report a sick child. I want to have a good rest. I asked Lao Zhao to see the infantry commander Zhao Fengchun.
Said I want to see him in the evening." Zigu helped him get dressed and said, "I feel unhappy and should go out for a walk. Just now Dai Duo from the fourth master's house came and said that he had something important to ask me to come over to him.
Go to my house. According to me, it’s reasonable for me to go and walk around. Just don’t forget what you said yesterday. If you hear it with one ear, it will come out with the other ear.” Yinxiang rinsed his mouth and sprayed it.
Shui smiled and said: "Big or small things are none of your business! I can't even take care of my own business!"
Having said that, since the message was coming from his fourth brother, Yinxiang couldn't help but take a sip or two. When he saw Dai Duo still standing at the door, he asked, "What happened!"
"Eighth Master received an order this morning and led people to seal the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice." Dai Duo is a short man with bright eyes. He has already become a magistrate outside. Because he is a servant of Yinzhen's family, he still enters the capital.
He lived in Beile Mansion and was still on duty as usual. After hearing Yinxiang's inquiry, he hurriedly replied: "The guards, soldiers, and eunuchs of Ba Beile Mansion are all available, and there are also people from Shuntian Mansion. Even the prince can't figure out the details.
.At this moment, the Crown Prince and the Third Master are all gathered in the Fourth Master's house! If you can hold on, go and have a look..." Yinxiang couldn't help but be shocked: the Ministry of Punishment is the backbone of the imperial court with the power of life and death. It can do so without any reason.
I sealed it when I said it was sealed? And why was even Yinreng kept in the dark? I thought about it in my heart.
Dai Duo and Yinxiang took Zhao Fuxing to ride the horse at full speed. They stepped off the horse stone at the corner gate of Yonghe Palace. Yinxiang threw the whip and reins to Zhao Fuxing and went straight to the back garden to Fengwan Pavilion. Yinzhen's number one Qing
The study room of the guest Wu Sidao is here. He knows Yinzhen's habit and comes here to discuss any important matters. After crossing the rockery and passing through the green maple forest, he saw the prince Yinzhen, the third elder brother Yinzhi, and Yinzhen.
Several people from Zhen were on the warm pavilion. They watched silently as a thin scholar with a cane made divination with yarrow. Dai Duo said: "Please, Thirteenth Master, this slave can only go here. It will be inconvenient if you don't listen to the greeting."
Past." Yinxiang knew that Yinzhen was very strict and organized in his family affairs.
Wu Sidao was in his mid-thirties. In the 23rd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, he led 500 people in Nanjing to jointly sign the corruption exams Zuo Yuxing and Zhao Taiming. They made a big fuss in the Gongyuan and brought the God of Wealth in.
Later, the imperial court issued an order to arrest him, but he escaped. Yinzhen, who was out on inspection, took him in. In name, he was just a guest, but Yinzhen treated him as a disciple. In addition to setting up a house specifically for him outside, there was also a garden dedicated to him.
A study was built. One of Yinzhen's housekeepers saw Mr. Wu walking on crutches and made fun of him as a "willow swayed by the wind", which was heard by Yinzhen. The housekeeper was sent to Jiuquan to experience the taste of "willows of resentment" outside the Great Wall.
From then on, no matter whether it was his elder brother or the princes and nobles, they never dared to look down upon Wu Sidao. Yinxiang knew what this man was capable of, so he walked over without daring to disturb him. He saw the half-paralyzed Wu Sidao sitting on the ground without saying a word, looking at him for a long time, and pondered slowly.
He said slowly: "The prince is asking about good or bad fortune. Forgive me to be blunt, this hexagram is unlucky. According to this hexagram, it is the 'Tai' hexagram..."
"Tai hexagram?" Sanbeile Yinzhi couldn't help but laugh, waving his fan and said with a smile: "Yin is up and Yang is down, and it can be changed repeatedly. Tai hexagram is the most auspicious hexagram of the sixty-four hexagrams! So the general words say, 'Tai, from small to large.
Come on, Ji Heng. 'Sir, what's the 'unlucky' method?" Wu Sidao looked at Yinzhi calmly and said, "What the third master said is true. As usual, when people ask questions, the word 'Tai' is indeed the highest.
Ji, but I don’t know that this is the prince’s question about destiny, so he must think about it from the perspective of the country and the country. Prince, your destiny is fire. The fire in summer is extremely strong and has a decline phase. It is difficult to shine with gold in autumn, and it is easy to be in winter.
How can we take the invasion of water lightly? Look at the Sunda area, there are as many as eighteen yarrow roots, and the strong wind is blowing fiercely, how can it be so serious? Everyone thinks that "Taiji will come in peace" and hope for this "Tai"; who can think that Taiji will mean "Taiji"
Come! Misfortunes are where blessings depend, blessings are where misfortunes lie, extreme evil is transformed into good fortune, and extreme good fortune is transformed into evil. This is the purpose of the Book of Changes."
Wu Sidao's talk was reasonable and upright. The princes had followed their master in reading "Yi" since they were young, but they had never heard of such an interpretation. Even the knowledgeable Yinzhi was stunned for a while. The prince was originally a clever person, so he thought of Yinzhi.
It was Shui Ming and Yin Zhen's gold Ming who shared the same evil with Yin and the others and coveted the position of the prince. He couldn't help but turn pale and sighed without making a sound.
"Third brother," although Yinxiang arrived late, seeing this scene, it was expected that they had already discussed Yinsu's matter, so he smiled and said: "Brother is a broken jar anyway, they have thrown it away a long time ago. I'll go to Ama's place
I want to ask, why doesn’t even the crown prince know about the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment? I’ve taken the blame. How about you and fourth brother talking more slowly?” After saying that, he walked away. Yinzhen shouted anxiously: “Come back! You have nothing to do.”
Looking for trouble? Who doesn't know that the prince and you are the same thing?"
Wu Sidao smiled slightly and said: "Thirteenth Master, please be patient. The original purpose of the "Book of Changes" is in the same vein as Confucianism. These warning words of mine are just to advise the prince to be cautious when things happen. The prince has held the important position of the heir apparent for three years.
For more than ten years, my life has been suspended in heaven, and the monarch and his ministers have been divided. Who dares to harm it easily? But if you practice self-examination, justice and virtue, you will naturally be peaceful and peaceful. Therefore, Confucius said, "Those who are thick will be thin, and those who are thin will be thick."
It's something that hasn't happened yet. To put it in a common saying, just do good deeds and don't worry about the future, and the future will be good."
Yinzhi felt a little reassured by this comfort, and then said with a smile: "This is a wise saying. Let Lao Ba investigate Qiu Yunsheng's case! I don't have any heart disease, what should I be afraid of?" After that, he said to Yinzhi: "Let's go,
Let's take a look at your newly compiled "Pei Wen Yun Fu"!" The two of them bowed and left.
"The prince is in danger!" Wu Sidao looked at the backs of Yinzhi and Yinzhi and sighed, "The prince is in danger like a hanging thread, and the power is like a tired egg!"
His cold words made Yinzhen's eyes jump suddenly, and Yinxiang couldn't help but shudder. Yinzhen looked at the scenery outside the window and smiled: "Mr. Wu is being alarmist, isn't he? I asked Wu Dan last night. Long live
The mission of Lao Ba was made at the last minute because the prince was too busy cleaning up the deficit and couldn't take care of it. Why make everyone feel dejected?"
"That's a good question - since it was a temporary decision, why should the prince and the elder brothers be so fussy?" Wu Sidao took a few steps with his crutches, "In fact, the fourth master's heart is like a mirror. Today, the emperor is the master of a hero who is rarely seen in the history.
How could he be willing to do something useless? The emperor had already been dissatisfied with the prince a lot before. He hoped that clearing up the deficit would cheer him up and make a difference. Unexpectedly, the prince mishandled the situation and failed. His disappointment can be imagined. Shi Shilun, You Mingtang
The transfer is obviously to protect the country's elites and ask them to leave the capital to avoid disaster. The purpose of cleaning up the prison cases of the Ministry of Justice is to test the eighth master's talents. Of course, it is not convenient to consult the prince's opinion. It is only to seal up the Ministry of Punishment for such a big matter, without even saying hello.
It is beyond the norm that the emperor, his ministers, and his son are suspicious of each other! Please forgive me for speaking frankly, whether it is the Fourth Master, the Eighth Master, or the prince's involvement in politics, it is not a blessing to the country - the emperor is gifted with wisdom, so why does he not dare to touch the laws established by his ancestors?"
After saying that, he let out a long sigh.
Seeing Yinzhen, Yinxiang looked at each other and moved away. They were all members of the "*", the prince was in danger, and they were not safe. After a long while, Yinzhen gritted his teeth and said: "If this is the case, or according to Lao Shisan
The other way around is to ask the emperor to send an envoy from the Ministry of Punishment over?"
"The country's accumulated shortcomings are hard to recover from," Wu Si said. "The building is about to collapse. Can a single tree support it?"
Yinxiang smiled and said: "If you can't afford to offend, you can afford to hide. Fourth brother, we also want to have some leisure time. How about asking Jiang Wei to avoid trouble?"
"I'm afraid it's too late." Wu Sidao said coldly, "Under the overturned nest, are there any intact eggs?"
Yinzhen pondered for a long time, bowed to Bu Sidao, and said: "My husband and I have been getting along with each other for decades, and we are close friends. I hope you can teach me!"
"Quietly watch the situation change." Wu Sidao said calmly, "The Master said that after knowing the stagnation, there will be concentration. After concentration, one can be still. After being still, one can be at peace. After being at peace, one can think about it. After thinking about it, one can gain. - Fourth Master, I am a disabled person.
, I can only survive under the protection of Fourth Master for the rest of my life, with only a little use of my mind. Please give me a few days to plan this contingency plan." After that, he walked away with his crutches.
What Wu Sidao said before leaving was very light, but it made the two brothers consider the seriousness of the situation. Both of them were silent. After a long time, Yinzhen smiled and said: "It seems that the tree will not fall and the hozen will scatter now. Why worry about it?"
It feels like the sky is about to fall! Brother, please be at ease and keep the prince safe, and we will all be better off. If anything happens, don't say that broken thing again, I will never let you suffer!"
"Fourth brother," tears suddenly welled up in Yinxiang's eyes and he forced a smile, "I remember when I was seven years old, I had a fever. My eldest brother said that I had to eat to keep it up. He was so angry that he locked me in an empty room and cried. Yes.
You conveyed the order of Queen Xiaoyi to release him immediately. At that time, you also taught me a long and short sentence, do you remember?" Seeing Yinzhen shaking his head, Yinxiang then chanted:
In the wagtail plains, the autumn grass has dried up, and the sky is blue and the sky is mournful. The shadow of the red bird is lonely. The nine-winded ileum only complains to the people under the fence: I am afraid that the world is also the cold yellow grass and white water reeds! It is difficult to learn how to tie yourself by spinning silk.
That Jia, who has so much wealth, has no long-sleeved dance - he should just look for companions in the desert and share this handful of millet together.
Yinzhen said with a smile: "I have forgotten it a long time ago. I remember that this thought of yours was recorded in the "Yongle Dadian"." Yinxiang wiped his tears and said: "But that's what he said. If he is looking for a companion, the prince has never
Take a look at me; where my starling is, I kowtow to death, it’s all in vain if the fate is not right, so it can only be you. If you keep it, I, the lonely goose, can still get some grain, but if you can’t keep it, we will all starve to death!"
Yinzhen's heart felt like it was immersed in boiling water, so hot that it shrunk into a ball. He smiled to himself for a while and said: "Let's talk about the rest later, who knows what the ending will be - tell your brother about your affair in the Banished Immortal Tower.
It's a happy thing to hear." After hearing this, Yinxiang's face became paler and paler, he sat down slumped and was silent for a long time before telling the story of going to the Immortal Exile Tower in detail.
"Abnormal things are demons. This is indeed a bit evil." Yinzhen listened very carefully and said, "I heard that the bull-nosed man in Baiyunguan was introduced to my elder brother and the princes and nobles by Ren. My butler Gao Fuler said
He had met Ren Bo'an in the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Ren also wanted Gao Fu'er to bring Zhang Deming to see my fortune. I said that I was born in the Heavenly Family, so it was not a lowly fate! Besides, I converted to Buddhism and have always taken the four emptiness as my precepts.
If you don’t seek wealth and honor in the world, what’s the point of being a fortune teller? He rejected him. There was an apprentice of Zhang Deming in the Third Mansion, who was introduced to him by Ren. This Ren, who was born as a minor official, actually infiltrated into the royal family.
Here, this little trick cannot be underestimated!"
Yinxiang didn't pay attention to Yinzhen's words, and his thoughts returned to Alan. Why did Alan suddenly fall out with him, and Ren Bo'an seemed to be urging Alan to follow him. It was really a joke. Could it be that he, Ren Bo'an, wanted to use a woman to control him?
Am I wrong? I thought, and smiled self-consciously: "Since she doesn't want to, it's okay. Look at the momentum now, I don't know what to do? It saves me this layer of worry..."
"Pounding musk deer into dust will never extinguish the fragrance, twisting lotus into a piece of silk will be difficult to cut off." Seeing his infatuation, Yinzhen quoted a poem by Wen Tingyun and joked, "Wen Bacha can be called my brother's confidant! It seems that Alan seems to be different.
There is a secret, but it is difficult to check it carefully at the moment. I only advise you, 'There must be grass within ten steps.' If she is really betrayed, she will naturally take care of her. How can it hurt you? With your brother, you are like this
With her talent and beauty, why would it be difficult to find a woman who is better than her!" The two brothers then said many more personal words before parting ways.
A few days later, Yinxiang received the edict, and the Ministry of Household Envoys were suspended. Aling'a was temporarily appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs, and was still under the control of Yinfeng and Yinzhen. Yinxiang was sent to the Ministry of Punishment, and together with the eighth prince Yinhu, he conducted an investigation
Unjust prison. Yinxiang suddenly thought of what Wu Sidao had said about considering countermeasures for a few days. When he rushed to Sibeile Mansion, Wu Sidao had already taken a boat to go south. When he asked Yinzhen for advice, Yinzhen smiled and did not answer, and only said: "Since the emperor asked you to go,
Of course the emperor has his reasons. You are good at everything, but you are too sharp and you must change it. Go! With this edict, Ama will protect you. Your eighth brother is sitting in the Ministry of Punishment, so don’t be angry
, don’t fight for credit. See what the regulations are like?” (To be continued)
