Chapter 36: Thinking of the Huangpao Brothers' Discord
On the morning when Zigu hit a stone and died, Yin was ordered to enter the palace. Kangxi summoned him in the East Nuan Pavilion of the Yangxin Hall. Yin originally thought that the thirteenth elder brother had found something wrong with him in the official department, so he thought
The ghost child repeatedly considered the things he had asked the Ministry of Civil Affairs to assign disciples to him. He wondered how Kangxi would ask and how he would answer. He also thought about where to start, and he bit Yinzhen. Yinzhen said, since you don't call me
If we can live comfortably, then none of us can even think about living in peace! Only when we met did we know that Kangxi wanted to hand over the Ministry of War to him. Because of last year’s autumn floods, several troops in the lower reaches of the Yellow River collapsed, so he ordered Yin to go out to the capital to conduct an on-the-spot investigation, and found out that it was flooded.
How many fields, how much grain should be used to relieve the spring famine, and where should the grain be adjusted from, etc., write a practical letter and submit it to the prince for reading, and then Kangxi will make a decision. Because the prince, Fang Bao, Ma Qi, and Zhang Tingyu all
There, many government affairs were discussed, and Kangxi ordered him: "Go, it is not only a minister's duty, but also a filial piety. Live your life well, don't be like the old eight, and look forward and backward in everything."
After Yin lowered his head after listening, he respectfully withdrew, with a sullen face, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and walked out steadily. His heart was so happy that he grabbed the military department with one hand and money and food with the other! What happened to the emperor today?
Do you think of me, the fourteenth old man? As he was walking, he saw Xing Nian and a group of young Sula eunuchs carrying several baskets of charcoal. Seeing that Yin lowered his head and frowned, he seemed unhappy, so he hurriedly stood sideways and beat him very skillfully.
Qian'er said carefully, "I'd like to send you my regards, my slave!" Yin stopped, frowned, looked at Xing Nian, and said, "Why haven't I seen you these days?" Xing Nian said hurriedly, "It's cold, and my mother has asthma.
I did it again. It’s snowing heavily and it’s getting even more difficult. Master allows me to go back every day to check on you. The Fourteenth Master is a noble man, he’s so busy that he can’t even stand on the ground, and he still thinks about his slave!"
"Look, you're still a filial son!" Yin said, pulling out a banknote from the boot leaf and handing it to Xing Nian: "This is a reward for you. What kind of medicine do you want to use? You can go to the master's house to find someone in charge.
"Xing Nian glanced at the banknote and saw that it was a large dragon-headed ticket worth one thousand taels. He was so happy that he picked it up in a hurry and knelt down to kowtow.
After leaving Donghua Gate, Yin didn't say a word, mounted his horse and ran to Prince Lian's Mansion. He saw He Zhu'er supervising the people in the manor to build snow lions and elephants in the open space in front of the door, covering their heads and faces with snow.
When He Zhuer saw him coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "The Fourteenth Master is here by chance. The Eighth Master went out last night to pray for Master Wei at Dajue Temple. He was afraid that he would be blocked by the heavy snow..."
"After Yin heard this, he didn't even get off his horse, turned around and left. He Zhuer said hurriedly: "It just so happens that I have something to do at home, and I have to pick up our master. I'll accompany the fourteenth master!"
He asked someone to go in and fetch the horse, and they meandered westward together.
Because of the heavy snowfall, there were very few pedestrians on the streets of the city. Yin seemed to be staring into the distance absentmindedly and said: "What kind of ecstasy soup did you drink that day? Leave the deputy general manager of the Yangxin Palace to do nothing and come to Ba Ye's Mansion."
Snow lion?" He Zhuer's heart moved, and he sighed: "If you think about it, you can't reply to what the Fourteenth Master said. After all, it is the slave's duty to serve the Eighth Master!" Yin smiled and said: "It's no wonder you, who doesn't?
What about climbing high branches? That was the situation at that time."
He Zhu'er was twisting his mind and said: "Fourteenth Master Shengming, what can I hide from you? I can't say I regret taking this step. The Eighth Master is kind to others and didn't say anything to me. It's what you said,
People walk to higher places and birds fly to higher places. It is also the law of nature and human nature. You always say so, right?" Yin mumbled a vague "Huh" and said: "Whether your destiny is good or not depends on heaven, and it is up to people to know the current affairs and not to know the current affairs.
.You are a smart person, so you are naturally well-informed - why don't you go to Dajue Temple? Why go to Xibianmen?"
"This is a trick that my servant used to plead guilty to the Fourteenth Master." He Zhuer hurriedly apologized and said with a smile, "The Eighth Master actually went to Baiyun Temple. There were so many people there just now that I had no choice but to trick him. So I personally led the way.
..." Yin nodded and said: "I understand."
The two of them drove another journey and arrived at the Baiyun Temple standing in the vast white snow. When Yin was still a boy in Zongjiao, he often came to Baiyun Temple to play. I heard from the master that in the early years of Kangxi, the palace was not safe, and the emperor
He once pretended to be Suo'etu's younger brother and studied here nearby. Because of this "holy site", in the 45th year of Kangxi's reign, a huge amount of internal funds was allocated to make major renovations. It is no longer what it used to be.
Because there were no tourists on the snowy day, there was only a little Taoist priest sitting on the futon in Lingyun Hall in the front yard. The others probably went back to their rooms to worship the fire. When Yin was about to ask, He Zhuer said: "What can he save? Our Lord is sure
In Yunji Mountain House - you come with me!" Then he took Yin through the Jade Emperor Hall, Laojun Hall, and bypassed the Siyu Hall. He saw a small hall high on the platform. On the plaque with black borders and white ground, it read "
The four big characters "Yunji Shanfang" are really eye-catching. Two Taoist priests stood majestically under the eaves of the door. A Taoist priest stepped forward and said: "This is the important place of Tianshi ginseng. He layman, please lead the guests to Sanqing."
Tea in the pavilion!"
"This is the Fourteenth Master!" He Zhuer said with a smile, "No matter how strict your rules are, you don't even know your rank?" Just as he was talking, he heard Yinhu's voice inside: "Is the Fourteenth Master here? Come in.
?" Then the cotton curtain rang, and Zhengyi Zhenren Zhang Deming, in full spirits, wearing a Nine-Yang Thunder Scarf on his head, and a sky-blue twenty-eight-year-old crane cloak with big sleeves, walked out to greet him. He clasped his hands and said, "Buddha Immeasurable Life! Fourteenth Master, please!
Master Jiu is also in there!"
The two people followed in, and a wave of heat hit their faces. It was warm, and they felt indescribably relaxed and comfortable all over. He Zhuer was busy taking off clothes for Yin Fuxue. After Yin calmed down, he saw Yinsu, and Yinzhu was sitting there.
Playing Go with hot tea on the Bagua carved porcelain seat, Yin said: "There is no stove in this room, and there are gauze windows, but it is so warm!"
We, the descendants of the dragon and the phoenix, will still enjoy the blessings! The ground is hollowed out, the fire is coming from underneath, and even the walls are hot."
"This is a trick I learned when I was young in the Prince's Mansion of Zhongshan." Zhang Deming twirled his beard and said with a smile, "That Master Xu Da of Chenguang passed away just now..." "Stop bragging, be careful to blow up the Yunji Mountain House!" Yin said with a smile:
"I believe you have practiced the Iron Cloth Shirt Kung Fu, and you are invulnerable to weapons and weapons. It's true that you have some Taoist skills. If you continue to boast that you are a god, I will burn you on a firewood mountain to see if you have become a human being or not?" Yinhu smiled and voted for Zi'er,
Said: "You are too shrewd. Don't you know that 'thieves also have their ways'? Why expose it so thoroughly?"
"Where are you from?" Yinhu asked casually, "It's hard for you to come looking for me again." Yin then smiled and explained the details of Kangxi's interview, but avoided Kangxi's words "Don't imitate Lao Ba".
After listening quietly, Yinzhu said: "Looking at this, the emperor may let you go out to lead the troops." Yinzhen smiled and said: "Now that we want to use troops, of course it will be against Alabutan. Good old fourteen!"
Leading an army of 100,000 Eight Banners to the west from Jiayuguan is enough to put on a show! But don't imitate Zhao Kuangyin and stage a Chenqiao mutiny, wearing yellow robes!"
Yin was startled and said with a smile: "Brother Ninth, don't make fun of me! Even if I have a yellow robe, I can only put it on Brother Eight. I just want to earn a yellow mantle and be rewarded with an iron hat!" Although he was joking!
, Yinshu's face became extremely pale as he listened, but his tone was very calm: "Actually, whether it is your Fourteenth Master, or the Ninth or Tenth, I will be willing to wear this yellow robe. I will do what I say! That day
You all know the situation, the emperor has his will, the ministers have their own opinions, and I am not the one who wants the crown prince - why does he bully me as soon as he returns to the throne? This person has such a bad temper before he ascends the throne; once he succeeds, he will be left to his own devices.
There is a fourth brother and a thirteenth brother on the right, so what else do you and I have left to live for?"
"Brother," Yinzhen frowned and looked at the chessboard, and said thoughtfully, "What else is the emperor's decree?" Yin said with a smile: "I didn't say anything else. They were discussing politics there, and I heard that they wanted to issue decrees to the whole world.
You get free grain every three years. Yinreng didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, with a sullen face, as if someone owed him two buckets of rice!"
Yinzhen smiled and said: "Of course he doesn't want to. This is a reasonable thing. If the emperor can do it now, he may not be able to do it in the future. If the emperor has done it in such a favor, how can he do it again in the future when he succeeds to the throne?" He shook his head.
He shook his head and said nothing further. This was a heart-wrenching remark to Yin Reng, and it was so profound that everyone nodded silently.
"It's really interesting." After a while, Yin smiled and said, "On a snowy day, we brothers gathered here to talk, but we forgot to ask, what kind of wind brought you all here?"
Yinzhen glanced at Yinzhen, and when he saw Yinzhou nodded slightly, he stopped and said, "Sooner or later, there should have been news from Zigu, but why is there not even a messenger? It's not an accident, right?
"No." Zhang Deming said, "She is a steady girl. It's snowing so hard, and the road is not easy to walk. The house is in chaos, and we have to avoid suspicion..." Yin said in surprise: "What are you fighting for?"
Riddle, who is Zigu?"
"Zigu is the nemesis of Lao Shisan, the life-seeking Yama!" Yinzhen's eyes flashed faintly, and he spoke a few words from between his teeth, "She is also Ren Boan's adopted daughter. After many twists and turns, and several years of planning, she was placed in
Yibeile Mansion. This cannon is already lit, do you understand?"
Yin was stunned by his tone, trembled, stared at Yin Zhen and said: "You mean..."
"If someone told you that the Thirteenth Brother returned to the Paradise today." Yinsu said slowly, his eyes glowing gray and green, "You wouldn't be sad, right?"
"...You-you...are you telling the truth?"
Yin Zhen sighed: "There is nothing we can do about it. Thirteenth brother doesn't want us to live. Not counting Ren Bo'an, the people from the Ministry of Punishment revealed the information and he brought a monk from the fourth brother's house to come here. He
I’m also interested in this place, but how come I have such a big appetite?”
Only then did Yin realize that these two people were telling the truth! When he looked at He Zhuer, his face turned yellow with fear. Yin said calmly: "This is too..."
"Too cruel, isn't it?" Yinhu's voice was a little hoarse, "Don't forget, he is a 'Desperate Thirteenth Son'. Can Ren Bo'an, a sap, beat us hard? Doesn't he have the slightest bit of flesh and blood?"
Really? In the blink of an eye, he dug up our financial resources, cut off our ears and eyes, and then started to cut off our arms, hands and feet!" Yinzhen nodded and said: "Rather than just sit back and wait for death, it is better to strike first!"
Yin shuddered from the bottom of his heart: He didn't feel sorry for Yin Xiang. The two people in front of him were calm and leisurely, as if nothing had happened, but they were waiting for the news of their brother's death! This kind of heart and this method are so heart-wrenching! That's right.
In a daze, Yinsu looked over and asked, "Are you afraid? Or can't you let go?"
"It's not that I'm afraid, and I'm not reluctant to give up. If Li Shimin hadn't carried out the Xuanwumen changes, how could the Zhenguan rule have come about?" Yin's heart was beating wildly, and he tried his best to cover up his panic and uneasiness, and said: "It was too sudden, lightning fast, and it was so sudden.
I can't come back to my senses. Remember that Old Thirteen was in prison in the temple, so you just shoved people in front of him. You have already prepared for it!" Yinhu laughed and said: "You mean Alan and Sister Qiao? Yinxiang is on guard every day.
Staring at them like thieves, how can you accomplish anything? Don't you hear, "If you guard against this, you will neglect that"? Thank you for being familiar with the art of war, but you don't know how to build a plank road openly or secretly plot a warehouse! He put his mind on guarding against Sister Qiao.
, Alan's body, then he fell into my trap!" Yinzhen pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "This is in the art of war! Defend like a virgin, emerge like a cunning rabbit, attack the unprepared, and take it by surprise!"
Just as he was talking, he heard the Taoist priest outside saying: "Are you here? All the masters are inside!" As soon as he finished speaking, a man with a face full of snow rushed in, but it was Jia Ping from Yinxiang Mansion. As soon as he entered the door
He said: "Man, it's over, it's over!"
"It's over, it's over! It's over as soon as it's over." Yinzhen said coldly, "Is this worth panicking? Why did you come just now? Can't you leave the house?" Jia Ping wiped a handful of snow that had flowed into his eyes.
Shui hurriedly said: "Good Lord Ninth, it's over, but it's not Lord Thirteen. It's his mother - ah sneeze! I can't tell, in short, Zigu is dead!"
One sentence made everyone in the room turn yellow, and the mountain room where people gathered suddenly became as silent as an abandoned temple!
"Zi Gu... Zi Gu is dead?" Yinhu asked in a trembling voice, his face pale, his hands shaking nervously, "She... didn't do anything?" Jia Ping paused and sighed: "I just wanted to inquire about this matter.
It’s only at this time! - It’s time to take action. The girls said that the Thirteenth Master was blessed and secretly protected by the gods. They threw the cup and pushed down the red one. The camp was blown up by the torment. The Thirteenth Master woke up.
..." Then he started talking about hand gestures, and then spoke in detail, "... Zigu didn't run away, so she killed herself. I really don't understand why." Yinsu stood up in a hurry, and suddenly
After feeling dizzy, he sat down slumped again, stroking his forehead and thinking for a long time. He said without raising his head: "This person is just like the fourth brother, unruly, evil, and mean to others. Even if the gods are powerful, they will never protect such a person -
—It seems that someone is secretly protecting you!"
Yinzhen felt confused for a while, suddenly panicked, and suddenly said: "Bago! Something big has changed. Will something happen to Baiyun Temple?" Yin felt like an outsider, and said with a stern face: "If something happened, it would have happened by now.
Oh! If Zi Gu confessed to something, she wouldn’t have committed suicide."
"That's what Old Fourteen said. Zigu will definitely not say anything." Yinsu gradually regained his composure, and his face turned red, "I treat her with extraordinary kindness. I rescued her father, and her mother is
After I gave it away, she put a straw mark on her head and sold herself. I bought it and gave it to Ren Bo'an. She treated her like a daughter and took care of her for more than two years - she is a filial daughter, so there will be no such thing as a seller. I only wonder, it is a sure thing.
Why did you just smash it?" Yinzhen took a deep breath and said: "Someone actually dropped a cup and called the police! Even the Yizhanghong weighing dozens of kilograms fell! Unbelievable, unbelievable..." His eyes suddenly lit up.
, and stopped talking thoughtfully.
Zhang Deming kept his eyes closed and meditated. When he saw several people talking about each other, he opened his eyes and said: "Alan, Sister Qiao is the most suspicious!" Yinzhen said viciously: "Yes, these two vixens must have changed their minds! Their whole family's lives are in danger."
Don't want them all? - Jia Ping, call them here today, I ordered them to take action, let's see what happens?"
"The situation has changed." Yinzhen had no expression on his face. "I originally wanted to get rid of the Thirteenth Brother and suppress Yinzhen, but Yinzhen lost his arms. This incompetent prince had to smash one thing after another, and the situation was natural
Turn around and lean towards me. In this way, not only the thirteenth brother, but also the fourth brother will be on guard - so we can't act rashly now! Sister Qiao and the others are going to change their minds and fight for their wealth. If you order the killing, they will be killed immediately.
It's unlucky. If you haven't changed your mind, you still have to rely on their help to secretly investigate who brought the news. So I can't give them any errands now."
Yin smiled and said: "It is difficult for upright officials to deal with household affairs. This is the hardest thing to find out. According to me, left and right are left and right, and the dumplings are also filled with wonton fillings. Let's just cook them all in one pot. Seize the Yuqing Palace and have another Xuanwumen coup.
! People die like lamps going out, who is talking nonsense to whom!" Everyone knew as soon as they heard that "people die like lamps going out" that even Kangxi was included. This Yin really has the character of a desperado! Immediately, they all felt
His hair stood tall! Yinzhen's face was horribly gloomy, and he asked grimly: "The Ministry of War listens to you? Does the Nine City Soldiers and Horses Division listen to you? How to deal with the Ouchi guards? If you go to the extreme of regicide, will the ministers below obey you? That's it.
Even Emperor Yongle didn't dare to take Zhu Yuanzhang's idea!" Yinsu shook his head and said, "If this is the case, I would definitely not dare your Fourteenth Master to become the emperor! The reputation behind you will be too much to bear!"
"Reputation?" Yinzhen said, "Qin II succeeded to the throne with dignity and dignity. What good reputation does he have now? Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao rebelled and usurped the throne. Who dares to say that he is not good? Since ancient times, the successful are princes and the defeated are thieves. You can control the world.
Once cured, people will naturally support him, and he will have a good reputation!" He swallowed, "Let's calculate the strength of the troops. Zhao Fengchun of Shanpu camp has four thousand people plus the Ouchi guards. If there are less than six thousand, they are all included.
, including the soldiers from the Zhili Governor's Yamen, the Manchurian total is only 10,000. The 6,000 people in Xishan Ruijian camp are mine, plus the people from our three mansions and the tenth brother's mansion, it's almost 8,000. Nine Admirals
Longkodo has 20,000 people in his hands, so I don’t expect him to help. I just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight! In the name of Qin Wang Qingjun, I mobilized the strong camp and entered the city. Fire broke out in my elbows and armpits, and chaos broke out in an instant. In the chaos, I only needed to seal it.
After entering Yangxin Palace, capturing Yuqing Palace, and coercing the emperor to order the princes, who dares to make a fuss? Listen to me, I didn’t say regicide. His old man has been in power for forty or fifty years, so let him be the emperor.
…”
"You are stupid, shut up!" Yinzhu suddenly changed his color, slapped the table and shouted in a low voice, "What kind of person is Long Live? Do you dare to make such a calculation? What did Wu Dan come to Beijing to do? You are still there in the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion.
Which of the tooth generals from the Ruijian Camp were not the ones he brought out?" He lowered his voice and said, "Without the right time, right location, right people, and right people, Fourteenth Brother, all your ideas are just daydreams!"
Yinzhen was already moved at the beginning. He changed his usual deep and steady demeanor and stood up and walked quickly. After listening to Yinzhu's analysis, he felt that it made more sense, so he stopped and said word by word: "What Brother Baz said
Yes. Fourteenth brother, you are too reckless. The top priority is to get rid of Yinreng. Brother Bazhao is highly respected, and the crown prince position must belong to us!"
"You are wrong too!" Yinhu shook his braid and said with piercing eyes, "The top priority is for the fourteenth brother to run his errands well. It would be better if he has secured the military department and can lead the troops! This is a mistake. Didn't the emperor agree with Yinfeng?
Ben, do you want to take our people according to the list? Just ask him to take them! The more you do this, the more people will be pushed to our side! The fourteenth brother went down to be the imperial envoy, and he spotted a few corrupt officials, and he got along with Yinreng.
Closely, investigate thoroughly and get to the bottom of it, Yinreng will stink even if he doesn’t stink! When the stink is no longer noticeable, he still has to be destroyed!"
An elaborate plan was over. Everyone was surprised and delighted, and sweated from nervousness. Jia Ping suddenly said: "I didn't ask for leave from the editor when I came out, so don't make that old bitch suspicious." He was busy asking for it.
Walk.
"Let's all go. Don't come to this place for the time being. I'm afraid Yinxiang won't be able to find out anything for a while." Yinhu sipped tea and stood up and said, "He Zhu'er is going back home. The three of us brothers braved the snow to visit our thirteenth brother.
Let him calm down his shock." Yin put on his oil coat and said with a smile: "It's a pity that Brother Ten didn't come today." Yin Zhen said with a smile: "It's just because his mouth is not noble, so he didn't dare to alarm. I said the emperor would see you.
, you can't come. Who would have thought that you came here on your own!" After that, the three brothers left the Yunji Mountain House together, and the snow had already fallen to the ground. (To be continued)
