The forty-ninth chapter: Zhongwang's investigation of love and change of family, wisdom and analysis
Yinzhen was worried and followed Yinli to the sedan chair. He wanted to ask, what urgent matter did Wang Guan, the Minister of Sanzhi, have to look for him? But after looking at Yinli's face, he shut up again. He had him.
You will know the regulations in a moment, so why bother? Yinli has lost the playful and playful look in the garden. His eyes are cold, with a hint of sadness, and he keeps looking out. When the sedan arrived in the east
At the fourth street entrance, Yin Li stopped riding on the sedan chair, pulled Yin Zhen down, turned around and said to the bearers: "You go back to the fourth master's house in Andingmen, and I will take the fourth master back later." After that, he took Yin Zhen with him.
Zhen walked through an alley, pointed to an inconspicuous doorway and said, "Fourth brother, this is Master Wang's house. Please!"
"The Fourth Master is here!" Wang Juan had been guarding the door of the hall for a long time. He was already dim and squinting. When he saw Yinzhen coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed. Yinzhen hurriedly held his hands and said, "You are our elder."
You are a master, even if you are the emperor, you still have the gift of respecting a master. You are a man of many years and have high morals and prestige. How can Yinzhen be worthy of you?" Wang Dao came in with his brothers tremblingly, seated the guests and hosts separately, and said: "This humble residence
In fact, I have given up to you two. However, I really have something urgent to do. If the fourth master doesn’t come, I will have to wait for you halfway down the road."
Yinzhen said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the master is so poor. He should have taken care of him a long time ago. It's my place. Why don't you come and go whenever you want? If you have any trouble, just ask!" Wang Tong seemed a little ignorant.
Where to start? He coughed dryly, and after a while he said: "I have nothing to do with myself. I have a double salary, I am not polite when I go to court, and I have my nephews to wait on me when I come back. What else can I be dissatisfied about? I only heard one thing.
The Eighth Master and the others already know that there is a man named Zheng Chunhua living in your house. I'm afraid that the Fourth Master..." Before he finished speaking, Yinzhen's heart suddenly sank, and his face immediately became extremely pale. It took him a long time to regain his composure.
, asked: "Master, who did you listen to?"
"Me," replied Yin Li, who was next to him, "one of my eunuchs and Su La, a steward in front of my good master, are cousins. When the two went out for a drink, the steward eunuch blushed and said, 'Don't look around.
I'm serious. There are people in the palace who want to commit crimes! Jianghu grass bandits, as well as the leader Zheng Zhuer. Isn't he trying to rebel? 'Fourth brother, think about it, Liang Fei is the eighth master's mother, even her subordinates know it.
Can Mr. Ba know? Even though he knows, he doesn't report it. Why?"
Yinzhen shuddered. The so-called "important criminal" was naturally Wu Sidao, and together with the few guards he brought from Wuyi Mountain, they were the "grass bandits" - these things had long been known to Kangxi, so it didn't matter. It was just that Zheng Chunhua was
The concubine who had an affair with the prince was hidden in the palace, giving Lao Ba and the others a handle. This was the ironclad proof that he had restored the prince! Yinzhen held the handle of the chair with his slender fingers until it turned white. He pondered for a moment and said: "Master
Don't tell lies in front of me, there are no prisoners or thieves, Zheng Chunhua is indeed alive and living in my house!" Then he told the long and short reasons for the previous reasons, and then said: "...Everyone knows that I believe in Buddhism.
I am not willing to trample an ant to death if you take refuge in me, the Buddha, let alone a weak woman who has no other way out." Wang Dao and Yin Li were both stunned when they heard Zheng Chunhua's tragic life experience. After a long while, Wang Dao let out a deep sigh and said:
"I am a Taoist. When I first taught the prince, I actually knew that he was lustful and lewd, and I tried to persuade him several times using the laws of nature and human desires. But he did not listen to my old words, which harmed himself and others!"
As he spoke, he was moved, with tears streaming down his face... "How much effort I have put into him!... He did not buy a farm, nor take a concubine, nor renew his wife, but he devoted himself to teaching and educating a good emperor... all in all."
Dongliu...I'm so crazy! My life is so miserable..." He covered his face with his hands and let out a cry that sounded like crying and laughing, which was heartbreaking. Yinzhen and Yinzhen shuddered after hearing this.
"Master..." Yinli wiped his tears and persuaded, "...don't do this, it makes people feel even more uncomfortable..." Wang Fangxue said with tears in his eyes: "I have stopped counting on this second master for a long time. It feels good to cry.
.How could I imagine that the Holy Ming I would raise these sons!"
Yinzhen had been wondering why Wang Juan wanted to report this news to him. From these few words, he got an answer and sighed: "Master, you have to take good care of yourself. Which of our brothers was not taught by you?"
In the end, all of them will become incompetent?" Wang Dong said: "Look, there are some who kill their brothers, some who force their mothers and concubines to death, some who insist on making the emperor angry to death, and some who imitate Wang Mang, who is humble and corporal outside, but thinks deep down.
How many people on the throne are good? Yinxiang is imprisoned, and Yin is gone. Those who worry about the world's practical affairs will be squeezed out by those who are out of control and have no place to live!" What he said was "forcing the mother and concubine to death", Yinzhen
He "understood" in his heart that there would be no other person except Yin! Yinzhen glanced at Yinli and saw that Yinli was crying and his face was flushed, and his heart suddenly brightened.
"Let's not talk about them anymore." Wang Juan gradually calmed down and asked, "Fourth Master, how do you plan to deal with this matter? Seventeenth Master didn't ask me to tell you, but I'm worried. I want to ask you after all."
Yinzhen's hands were wet and sticky, covered in cold sweat. Seeing the two of them staring at him, he muttered: "I never hide my lies. Since I am not sick in my heart, what should I be afraid of? I will go to Changchun Garden."
, tell Amma clearly about Zheng Chunhua in person, and leave it to my father to handle it."
"The Fourth Master is bright-hearted, and I admire him in my heart." Wang Guan said thoughtfully, "However, who doesn't know what the Fourth Master is like, who would fully believe this kind of thing? Long live this year, he is sixty-six years old. After all, his energy is exhausted and he can't do anything.
See everything as you did when you were young. Now that you are deeply favored by the Holy Spirit, it doesn't matter for a while, but you will discount it later. If there are villains nearby, it will cause an uproar again!" Yinli said: "I don't care about this matter.
I have been discussing with the master for a long time. We must be on guard against the suspicion of plums in the melon fields. Why did Zengzi kill anyone? When he came to the door and called three times, Zeng's mother got suspicious and jumped over the wall!"
Yinzhen stood up and paced uneasily. He was at his wits' end at the moment. Wang Wan leaned back and said: "If this person falls into the hands of the Eighth Master, and he holds on to evidence and rumors to confuse the public, the Fourth Master will be ruined - the rumor
, can kill people!" Yinzhen turned around suddenly and asked: "What should I do according to you?"
"Death is like a lamp going out." A cold wave flashed in Wang Duan's eyes, "A woman's righteousness is the same. Death from starvation is a trivial matter, but disloyalty is a serious matter. Mrs. Zheng is a person who can survive death." "No,"
Yinzhen shook his head and said: "I can't do such a thing." Wang Guan stared at Yinzhen and said: "According to what the fourth master just said, I can't bear this. But compared with her and the fourth master, which one is more important? The country cannot live without it.
You! You act like a woman, and others would rather you do this!"
Yinzhen looked at the outside of the courtyard with his faint eyes. The goose feather snow flakes had fallen one after another, covering the ground with a thin layer... After pondering for a long time, he said: "Can you try to move it out and let the seventeenth brother place it? The thirteenth brother asked again and again.
She was asked to protect her thoroughly. How could I do this?"
"Fourth brother!" Yinli sat cross-legged and said with a frown, "You first have to think about whether there are any bastards in your house who are cheating and cheating! How meticulous you are in doing things! How did the news get out? I'm not afraid of placement.
——How many taels of silver can you spend? ——If you send her out, can a mere seventeenth-year-old brother be able to keep her?"
Yinzhen couldn't help but trembled: These words were exactly what he thought when he went to Changchun Garden in the sedan chair! Thinking about it, his eyes became green and dark, as gloomy as an ancient well. After a long time, Fang smiled in despair.
, turned his face and said: "Master, I know what to do. I will definitely not kill people. The fact that they have not taken action for so long just proves that they are still not sure that the person is in my house. I have done many errands in the past two years and have been neglectful.
In the internal affairs, it seems that we cannot govern the country and bring peace to the world without harmonizing the family! You take good care of yourselves, and I, Yinzhen, will never forget your friendship today!" After that, he put down the hem of his robe, clasped his hands, and walked away in the snow.
As soon as Yinzhen returned home, he invited Wenjue, Xingyin and Wu Sidao to discuss countermeasures all night. By the fire, several people were lost in thought for a long time.
"Fourth Master!" Wu Sidao poked the coals with chopsticks and asked after a long while, "How do you think Master Long live his body is? How much can he eat at each meal? Is the walkway convenient? Do you need help when you stand up?" Yin
Zhen was very surprised when he heard that he was walking, but he knew what he was capable of, so he didn't ask for no reason. He raised his face and thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty is tired of hard work, but he can still do things reluctantly. The food he eats recently is not delicious, which is a bit hurtful."
Tired of physical exertion. Since the beginning of autumn, he has had to be supported when moving. Now he can only sit for one or two hours a day to listen to things. After a long time, his hands will tremble and his head will shake. When he receives us, he is more casual; when he meets with foreign ministers
, he is still the same as before. He would rather not finish listening to Goodbye Tomorrow than lie down crookedly. Sometimes when he feels upset or happy after hearing it, he keeps pacing and seems to be in good spirits." Wu Si said: "I'm sorry.
Let me tell you frankly, is there anything like burning mercury to make elixirs in the inner court?"
Yinzhen shook his head and said with a smile: "Ama hates this the most. That year during the southern tour, Ge Li, the governor of Jiangnan, presented Yannian's secretary, and issued a decree scolding Ge Li for being shameless, and threw back the evil book. In recent years, Xia Kui said that he got some 'thousand-year turtle' from nowhere.
"Lingwu beard medicine." Amma said, "How many emperors with white beards have come in ancient times? Emperor Haoran with beards on the sideburns, isn't that a good talk for eternity? It's a little boring for him."
"Philosophers and sages have no ethics..." Wu Sidao looked at the window pane sadly and murmured, "Unless he understands the road of life and death, a person who has learned nothing about nature cannot do this!" Everyone was wondering when Wu Sidao changed his tone and said,
Said: "The Eighth Master is now moving very slowly and steadily. It seems that the mountains and rivers are not exposed, but in fact it is more dangerous than the previous two times when he deposed the crown prince! The Ninth Master and the Tenth Master receive guests day and night in their mansions, no matter whether they are in office or outside, they are
From the feudal ministers to the county magistrates and magistrates, all of them are willing to be friends. Now that the Fourteenth Master has led his troops out of the capital, the Eighth Master has more chips in his hands, but he still can't hold back. Since he has your handle, he can't
Attack - why is this happening? Abnormality is a monster, so don’t be careful!"
No one could explain why all this happened for a while. Monk Wenjue mused: "Maybe he is waiting..." "Of course," Wu Sidao thought deeply, his face glowing blue under the lamp, "He
Of course I am waiting for the emperor's 'day'! When the time comes, I will take the Fourteenth Master's 100,000 heavenly soldiers from outside, and the imperial guards from Longkodo's Nine Cities at home. I will shout from high up, who can do anything to me! I think, he
He dragged people to Nian Gengyao, but he did not respond to Fourth Master. When you put these things together, you can see that there is a drama within the drama!"
"You mean..." Xingyin asked from the side.
"Do you need to explain it word by word to understand?" Wu Sidao's eyes flickered like a will-o'-the-wisp, "I mean, he hasn't figured out the holy meaning yet. Brother in Beijing, he is investigating all the fourteenths.
Master, be careful! Otherwise, why would you take the risk to win over Nian Gengyao?" Yinzhen's heart moved. Nian Gengyao stationed troops in Xi'an, which is the main route that Yin must pass through when returning troops! While thinking about it, he said:
"As far as I can see, they are one body, sharing prosperity and disgrace together. It doesn't seem like they are on separate paths with the fourteenth brother."
When Wu Sidao stared at Yinzhen Yi, he said: "One body is one body, and there are only a few acquaintances in the world who can cut each other's throats! The ones far away are Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Zhang Er, Chen Yu, and the close ones are Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei. One step away, for you, for you.
Sir, the stakes are high! Nian Gengyao and you are master and servant, and we are related by flesh and blood. Why are you so close to the eighth master?" He leaned back on the chair and sneered slightly, "Maybe they bit their fingers, so to speak.
It’s not difficult to guess what happened: For example, the story of Shen Sheng and Chong Er is a wonderful allusion! Fourth Master! As long as Yin leads his troops and dreams of being an emperor, the Eighth Master’s plan will be 70 to 80% certain! By then,
The power is in hand, the city gate is sealed, and an edict is issued to him to come to the capital alone. The fact is established, the Fourteenth Master has three heads and six arms, but he has no choice but to lead the soldiers with no intention of turning back, and his family members are all in the hands of the court! Wouldn't the mob collapse instantly?
"He spoke in a well-reasoned and meticulous manner, which made everyone secretly admire him.
"So," Yinzhen was horrified by his story and secretly swallowed his saliva and said, "I can only sit back and wait for death?"
Wu Sidao laughed loudly and said, "Don't the fourth master find it difficult to be the emperor? Why are you worried about others?"
"Although I don't want to be the emperor," Yinzhen gritted his teeth and smiled, "I don't want them to mess with me either!" Wu Sidao suppressed his smile and said, "What I just said was only one side. What's more important is the other side. Who will be the emperor?
, only now has the final say! What's the use of other people's efforts in vain? The Eighth Master's solution seems to be perfect, but he missed this fatal move. He tied the Fourteenth Master's hands and feet, Fourth Master, you will avoid foreign troubles
, he can only control Longkodo in Beijing, and the rest is normal, and the internal worries are not serious. Although the Thirteenth Master is imprisoned, his prestige is still there, and he can be used by you when the time comes, and he has the imperial edict in hand, no matter how powerful they are
, you have to bow down and proclaim yourself!"
These people gritted their teeth and determined that Kangxi would definitely pass the throne to him. Yinzhen had no choice but to smile helplessly, which was regarded as acquiescence, because he said: "There is still a third master! Now that you are talking about it, the Buddha is nodding, and the sky is flying, what will be the result by then!"
"
"If you are really the third master, we will assist you to be a Duke of Zhou and a wise king. Wouldn't you like it?" Wen Jue said with a smile. Wu Sidao also said: "The third master was framed by the uncle, and the uncle is a person of the eighth master."
, the third master really takes the throne, and I have to count on you to clean up the eighth master's party. God forbids this, if such a strange thing really happens, there will naturally be another reason! - This is all a joke. Zheng Chunhua has lived in the house for a long time, after all,
The fourth master couldn't bear to cause trouble and want her to die; sending her out would be tantamount to giving someone a handle. Therefore, the most urgent thing at the moment is to find out the traitor hiding in the house, otherwise, sooner or later, even the rest of us will be screwed.
Got it!"
Yinzhen stood up, sneered and said: "I always thought that I was good at running the family, and no one could compare with me. Unexpectedly, I adopted a few people, and some people dared to tell them. I inspected the Forbidden City, and some people ventilated it! Although the Buddha is merciful,
, and also set up eighteen hells - just watch!" After that, he resigned. Xingyin Xiao said to Wu Si: "Mr. Zhuge, please tell us, who is the 'traitor' you said?"
"Probably there are no slaves like these." Wu Sidao said calmly, "Fourth Master has many ways to do this kind of thing! He has a sharp ear and eyesight, and his subtleties are not inferior to Long Live!"
When Yinzhen walked out of the Fengwan Pavilion, it was already past Haishi. In the wind and snow, he saw a watermelon lantern swinging at the entrance of the garden in the distance. When he came closer to take a look, it was Cai Ying, the chief waiter in the study, who asked: "Are you there?"
Wait for me, what can you do?" Cai Ying's teeth chattered with the cold, and she snorted and said, "I've been away from home for so many days, and there are people in the house who are busy. A few of us in the study discussed it, and we decided not to come back to you.
Even we have to suffer. When I heard that I was back, I went into the garden again. Yu Mo, Zhu Yin and the others said they wanted me to go in to see you. I stand here and think about it, but I still don’t dare..." Yinzhen listened to what he said.
After explaining again and again, he couldn't help but laugh: "It depends on the size of the matter and the priority! For example, if someone wants to kill me right now, why don't you go in and get back to me? Come on, let's talk in the study."
"The study is impossible," Cai Yingdao said. "Nian Gengyao will come in this afternoon and sit in the study. He must see the master..." Yinzhen was stunned for a moment and asked: "He didn't say anything?" Cai Yingdao
: "He said that I have some misunderstandings about him. He can't sleep without seeing me."
"Misunderstanding?" Yinzhen smiled coldly, "Let's go and meet him. Then we'll talk to you." After saying that, he left, and Cai Ying hurriedly came up to hold a lamp to lead the way.
Nian Gengyao was waiting impatiently in the small study room west of Wanfu Hall. He had been here for four hours, and he neither dared to see the girl nor chat with Wenjue.
He was arrogant and cruel by nature. When the Miao rebellion was suppressed and the stronghold could not be captured, he personally supervised the battle and beheaded anyone who came back. He threw his head in front of the battle and beheaded more than twenty people in a row. The sword was all chipped and his eyes were broken.
He didn't even blink, so the army called him "The Butcher". But he was afraid of Yinzhen. This prince who ate fasting and chanted Buddha's name didn't even swat flies, but the coldness in his eyes could force him to retreat! Today
At the gate of Changchun Garden, Yinzhen had a fit. He originally wanted to be angry but his legs didn't work. He only hesitated for a pack of cigarettes and came to Prince Yong's Mansion to wait to see Yinzhen. He was so anxious that he could do nothing.
Cai Ying held up the lantern in the distance, and Yinzhen came over calmly. Nian Gengyao hurriedly knelt on the ground and answered, "My slave Nian Gengyao has been waiting for your master for a long time!"
Yinzhen ignored him and asked someone to bring hot soup. He drank it slowly and asked for a basin of hot soup. He put his feet in and rubbed them together. He asked, "Have you met the eighth master?"
"No..." Nian Gengyao said in a trembling voice, "...because I met Master Jiu at the gate of the Ministry of War Yamen, I forced the servant to sit there, but nothing else..."
"I don't care about you." Yinzhen suddenly laughed, "The Eighth Master and the Ninth Master are all my brothers. And the Fourteenth Master is even closer to me. Get up - am I a master who has no consideration?" Nian
Gengyao knew very well that his master had a face like a curtain. He would roll it up when he was told and put it down when he was told. He was the most elusive, so he got up carefully and said with a grimace: "I have been with my master for many years. My master has the most magnanimous heart."
!" Yinzhen shook his head and said: "You are saying something against your will. In fact, I am a person who must retaliate, and I am not as broad-minded as the Eighth Master. I know this."
Yinzhen let Cai Ying and others wipe his feet, put on his socks and boots, stepped on the ground comfortably for two steps, frowned and said: "If you are my brother-in-law in Xiaojiazi, then
There is no need to say anything. But in the final analysis, you are my slave, and I have to worry about some things. So I humiliate you in front of fifth brother, do you understand?"
"clear!"
"You don't understand!" Yinzhen cut him off, "If you understand, when you return to Beijing this time, you should first meet Ama and me, and then go see other people!"
"It's really because Fourth Master is busy..."
"Fart!" Yinzhen said, "Where is the Buddha? In your heart! Am I not busy today? Why did you see it?" Nian Gengyao swallowed his saliva and said, "I already knew about it. But I didn't
Even when meeting Master Jiu, the slave would always talk about things like "the weather is good today". The slave has already understood the master's advice. The master does not care about who the slave sees first, but who cares about who is in his heart.
!I can’t explain it clearly at this moment. I am working in Shaanxi and the Fourteenth Master is in the west. One day my intentions will be revealed. Please forgive me, Master!”
He was so exquisite and clear that Yinzhen was startled when he heard it, and then sneered: "I thought you really understood! It turns out that you are pretending to understand! If you are really good for me, there is no need to have this idea at all! You are me
The biggest official under my sect, you only take care of your duties and serve the emperor well, and you are loyal to the emperor, which is to earn respect for your master. You are looking at me sharply, competing for the throne like others, first of all, you
You misjudged me, and secondly, it proves that you are not a pure minister at all!" Nian Gengyao knew clearly that he did not mean what he said, so he replied repeatedly: "Yes, yes! The master taught me this! The slave dare not think nonsense..."
"You've already thought about it, and you still say 'dare not'?" Yinzhen sneered! "You and Dai Duo are at a disadvantage because they are restless! Dai Duo is going to Taiwan and said he would leave a way out for me. I told him, I won't
If you do something bad, what ghosts are you afraid of knocking on your door? What kind of escape route will you leave?! What about you, you also said in your previous letter that "to be loyal to the master today is to be loyal to the emperor in the future"! Nian Gengyao, this is the only difference
Just two words can kill your whole family!"
Nian Gengyao suddenly broke out in cold sweat. He suddenly felt that the thoughts he had had a few days ago were completely ridiculous! Not to mention that the lives of his family were in the hands of this prince, even his own and Yinzhen's.
The historical origins have long been inseparable. Yinzhen's face was livid and he was about to continue talking when he saw Cai Ying coming in and asked, "What happened? Your face is so ugly?" Cai Ying looked so ugly.
He murmured: "Fourth Master... Grandma Zheng who lives in the small Buddhist hall in the North Courtyard hanged herself!" Yinzhen stood up with a groan and said to Nian Gengyao in a gloomy voice: "Come with me to have a look!" (
