At the end of April, Yinti left Shanhaiguan and rushed all the way to the capital. When he arrived at Miyun, Zhili, he unexpectedly met Eunuch Gu, the consultant.
"Why is Gu Shuda here?" Yinti was a little curious. There were two young eunuchs beside the consultant, making it clear that it was a private act and not an order.
The consultant felt a little unnatural for a moment when he saw Yin Ti, but he immediately returned to his usual calmness and greeted with a smile, "My lord, you have returned to the capital. This old servant came here with an order to build a temple."
He didn't mention that Yinti also saw it. To be precise, this was not a temple, but an ancestral hall, or a Zhongyi Temple. Yinti got off his horse and told the guards not to come over. He took a closer look and saw that this was no ordinary Zhongyi.
The temple is not a big place, but it enshrines the deceased ministers of the previous dynasty.
"...Do you, Khan Ama, know this? I heard that you are going to sue for old age. Don't ask a villain to sue you at this time."
This was a kind reminder, and the consultant also heard it. The old man's gray eyebrows twitched, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, Lord, for reminding me. I rebuilt this. The emperor knew that I made a wish to rebuild the temple, so he didn't ask any questions."
Yinti nodded silently and said nothing. The two of them stood at the door of the Zhongyi Temple. After half a stick of incense, Yinti whispered, "I was lucky enough to get along with Mr. Zhu and Mr. You when I was a child. They said that in the last years of the previous dynasty, Tian
The earth collapses, the liver and intestines are broken by pain, does Shuida think so?"
"They are scholars."
The consultant sighed, "As for me, I am not still a slave whether it was the previous dynasty or this dynasty. It's just that after all, I have experienced it, whether it was a robber, or... there were many deaths back then, and I have to retire, so this is just some comfort.
.”
This was a very heart-to-heart talk. Yinti didn't say anything else. He just asked everyone to take out a banknote and handed it to the director of Zhongyi Temple. He said, "Shuida, there is no need to be polite. You are leaving Beijing, and I have nothing to do."
The other meaning is that I think of many old things and just put my heart and soul into them."
"You stay here, I'm leaving now." Yinti didn't hesitate and turned around to leave. However, the consultant behind him stopped him, "Your Majesty, stay here." The old man rushed over in a few steps, as if he didn't mean to say anything to Yinti.
Said a few words.
That night, the Prince of Zhijun stayed in Yuhe Post in Changping, in front of the gate of the capital city. He sent Tong Lin into the city to report to the emperor and ask for an order to enter the palace tomorrow. While he stood in the yard of the post, he remembered what the consultant had told him.
a few words.
"The rumors about the crown prince's fate spread throughout the capital."
“It’s no surprise that Yuqinggong’s brother died young.”
"The clan is adding fuel to the flames, but Suo'etu is not sad at all."
There is a lot of information. Yinti raised his head and looked at the bright moon. Now there is no haze or dust. The sky is clear, which makes people feel relaxed and happy at first sight.
Because of such rumors, Kangxi would feel more sorry for the prince and feel that he had been wronged. This is not surprising. This old man has always been like this. Whoever he thinks is weak will be remembered and compensated. Whoever he thinks is strong is flaunted.
, will also take action to suppress it.
Okay, Yinti decided to just talk about business matters when he returned to Beijing, and just send his deepest condolences to Yuqing Palace.
As for the clan, Yinti sneered in his heart. It would be strange if they could stop. How could the tribe's inertia of more than a hundred years change in less than fifty years? The current situation is nothing more than Kangxi's power and the fear of the kings.
The emperor did not dare to act rashly. But if they encountered a good opportunity to cause trouble for the emperor, they would not let it go.
This problem is difficult to change. Just like Yinti himself, isn’t it now possible for his subordinates to use it first?
The succession of the prince seemed to be able to avoid this problem, because the prince already had Zhan Shifu, but Zhan Shifu also had people like Suo'etu's son sneaking in. Yinreng could not get out of this strange circle for a while.
And Suo'etu, Suo'etu has no sadness at all? Yinti couldn't help but remember that when Concubine Wen Xi passed away, Aling'a scolded his brother Faka in front of the funeral for drinking and having fun when Empress Xiaozhao passed away.
Being able to be mentioned by consultants proves that Kangxi noticed this. The problem is that he can show no sadness when someone who has a close relationship with him dies...or Suo'etu feels that Si Age has nothing to do with him,
Or Suo'etu thought it would be better for the child to die.
No wonder Yinti thinks cold-bloodedly, because politicians are profit-driven monsters. Such monsters dare to think and do anything, as long as they find opportunities.
So, can Suo'etu continue to hold back the prince?
I'm afraid it will be difficult this time. Kangxi felt sorry for the prince and would definitely make up his mind to drive Suo'etu out of the court. Yinti regretted that the honeymoon period for the father and son might have to be a little longer.
The next day, Yinti received the order and went straight into the palace. When he walked outside the Xihua Gate, his deputy general manager Qin Ji rushed over as if his butt was on fire and was almost kicked away by a horse.
"What are you doing! I'm trying to kill you!" Yinti was also shocked. This was the Haha Pearl eunuch he had grown up with. Why was he so irritable all of a sudden?
Qin Ji wiped his sweat and said, "It doesn't matter, my slave. This slave is here to send a message to the master. Both Master Chengde and Mr. Shen sent people to send a message, asking Fujin to tell him no matter what." He whispered, "Yesterday I asked for the photo album."
I’m getting old.”
I thought that my master would be surprised, but unexpectedly, the prince just nodded slightly and said calmly, "I know, you go back home and tell Fujin, I know, well... I am afraid that Khan Ama will leave some food, and we can meet again when I go back in the evening."
Let’s go and have dinner.”
Qin Ji said yes and stepped aside to wait for Yinti to ride straight into Xihua Gate before retreating back to his house.
The prince of Zhijun handed over the sign and waited for his audience. When he saw the North Korean envoy exiting the Qianqing Palace and walking out of the Longzong Gate, several people were chattering and didn't know what they were talking about. Yinti frowned and looked at it, and someone behind him whispered, "These Korean stickmen
!”
Yinti looked back and saw that the speaker should be in his twenties, a sixth-rank official, holding a stack of books in his hand. He should have come here on an order. He didn't know him, but he knew him. The other person immediately came forward and saluted, "
Yang Jie, editor and editor of Hanlin, paid homage to Prince Zhi."
"...Oh, do you understand what they are saying?"
Yang Jie nodded, with a look of embarrassment on his face, but because he was alone here, the other party was only Yinti. He said, "Those high-ranking people, the North Korean envoy said, the imperial court is not harmonious, so there is no direct lineage."
"
He seemed a little worried about Yin Ti's anger, but Prince Zhi just dusted off the corners of his robe and asked, "Why are you here alone? And how do you recognize me? I don't remember seeing you."
"I was ordered by the Master of the Hanlin Academy to deliver the book requested by the Emperor. However, the eunuch went in to report for half an hour but there was no news, and I did not dare to ask."
Yinti raised his eyebrows and heard Yang Jie continue, "Chen, when I return to the prince, Wu Gongtao Zhaoqian is my uncle. I have been to Ming Mansion and Sishui Pavilion, and I happened to meet the prince."
So that's the case, no wonder Kuixu praised him so much, but he didn't expect that this stupid Qing Hanlin didn't know how to stuff money, so he was played by the eunuch. Yinti shook his head, the atmosphere in the palace became worse and worse, and he was the first one since Liang Jiugong. Greedy for money.
"You, go to the Xihua Gate, and then come back in half a cup of tea."
Yinti pointed out to him, "This is my eunuch. When the time comes, it will be up to him to let you in. Then follow the eunuch into Qianqing Palace. Don't say anything or ask. As for presenting the book to the emperor when he arrives, Don't say you are Mr. Wu's nephew or anything like that."
Yang Jie nodded and left. As soon as he left, someone came out and asked Yinti to come in.
Kangxi was very satisfied with Yinti's work. Yinti followed Kangxi's tone and expressed his sorrow when talking about Yuqing Palace. Just as the father and son were chatting happily, the eunuch outside sent a message, "The classics requested by the master have been delivered."
Yang Jie was quite smart. He presented the book and responded appropriately. He left without any nonsense. Yinti just stared at the books. Kangxi asked curiously, "Why, you also want to read the interpretation of the Thirteen Classics? Oops." This is a strange news, Prince Zhi has changed his gender?" He laughed loudly as he spoke.
Yinti said with embarrassment, "Khan Amma made fun of his son, but his son was just surprised. It turned out that Khan Amma wanted to use this book!"
"How do you say this?" Kangxi heard something in his son's words.
Yinti smiled and said, "Go back to Khan Ama, when my son was waiting outside to hand over the sign and wait for your summons, the Hanlin was waiting outside with his book in his hands. It seemed to be a long time. I don't want my son to chat with you." , he just sent the book in, why is the Hanlin Academy so lax in its errands?"
"..." Kangxi stopped laughing and stared at the book for a while, and then said, "Liang Jiugong, go out and ask which eunuch sent the message to Hanlin. Bring that eunuch here."
When Yinti saw this, he said, "Khan Oma, I will retire first. When I return to the house, I will write a statement and then send it to the emperor."
The emperor nodded, Prince Zhi bowed and left. When he exited the Qianqing Palace, he happened to see Liang Jiugong grabbing the eunuch and not knowing what he was talking about. Yinti smiled casually and left quickly. He still wanted to ask his staff and confidants about his amount. What happened to Tu and Yuqing Palace!
Yinti originally wanted to go back home to have a meal with his wife and children, but unexpectedly, the Hanlin who had set up the blue flag and Legian who was almost beaten by the Mongols actually came to visit.
"Master doesn't know that this Bachelor Le not only comes to visit, but also comes to deliver messages and greetings during this period of time." Qin Ji was amazed. "He reports on time every three to five, and all the servants admire his patience."
At that time, Yinti felt that he was in the way, so he did not use him to enlighten his second elder brother Hongyu. Unexpectedly, this man was actually like this...Yinti laughed and felt that there was nothing he could do, so he said, "Go and spread the word and tell someone in Fujin." Come to the door, I'll be there in a moment. Just call Legian over."
The bachelor Le gave Yinti a surprise as soon as he arrived, "My lord, I don't know. During this period, the prince has been running to Qianqing Palace a lot! I recently participated in the book revision of Wuying Palace. They say that the emperor and the prince have a deep love for each other." !”
Yinti frowned. Sure enough, he guessed it right. The father and son entered the honeymoon period...and it sounded like it was Yinti who took the initiative. This willful and arrogant servant of the Eastern Palace began to learn to compete for favor?
