Since returning to Beijing, the tenth elder brother Yiner has been staying at home. Yinzhen felt that the bastard Lao Shi was angry with him, so he didn't bother to go to him in anger. The ninth elder brother wanted to go to his eighth brother's place, but ended up not leaving the house.
I received a letter from fifth brother Yinqi and asked him to come over.
After Yinqi returned to Beijing, in addition to comforting the old lady at the Queen Mother's place, he also went to Yikun Palace to see Concubine Yi. The mother and son chatted for a while, and Concubine Yi told Wu Beile, "Take care of your brother, no matter what, at least don't let him do it this time."
He got mixed up with Lao Ba."
"Your mother-in-law has been in the palace for all these years. Apart from other things, there is only one thing that I know very well." Concubine Yi sighed, looking at the child who had not grown up under her knees. "If your mother wants to protect her,
Who has shown it clearly a long time ago. How did he treat the prince, Prince Zhi, including you and the third and fourth children? Didn’t they all receive the emperor’s favor when they were young? The eighth child’s current favor is not enough. "
"Try to persuade him. If he refuses to listen, just let him go."
The Yi concubine, Guo Luoluo, was deeply favored in the harem for twenty years. In addition to relying on her appearance, she was also very good at propriety and scale. Kangxi was not an absolute tyrant. He also liked his concubine to be a bit petty, but not too much.
, Yifei is the leader among them. Under the emperor's preference, she can still avoid brain fever and confusion, which proves that Yifei is a sensible person.
So Wu Beile invited Brother Ninth to dinner, and the two brothers drank wine. Yinqi's opening remarks were, "How do you think Ama Khan treats the eighth brother?"
"That's good." Ninth Brother's argument was very solid. "In the early days of the country, with Bage's background, he was the Duke of the country, or even a general to assist the country. But look at Fifth Brother now, Khan Amado is promoting him.
"
Lao Jiu said in a low voice, "Fifth brother, judging from his background, it is because of Khan Amat's favor that Bage is able to achieve his current status!"
You actually think so, Wu Beile smiled, "Then, you think you can achieve the feat of following the dragon? Oh, don't be like this, we are the only two brothers here. I have sent away all the people below, how can you still
Can’t you tell me the truth?”
Yinzhen had no choice but to retract his stinky face, and finally smiled like a rogue, "Fifth brother, you can see it, Khan Ama doesn't intend to use us little brothers, I just find a way for myself. He
If Brother Riba really becomes a man, I will eat meat with you, and I won’t tell you to only drink soup. We are brothers from the same mother and father, and I know exactly what you do to me, brother."
"Have you never thought that what if Khan Amma's favor towards Lao Ba only goes so far?"
Yinzhen was dumbfounded, and after a long time he said, "You have to look at Shu from a long distance. I can't help but what Ama Khan thinks, and it's even more impossible for Bago to stop."
In the Babel Mansion, Yinhu was also drinking and chatting with the attendant He Zhuo. These days, Yinhu was busy meeting people, and He Zhuo was busy helping the proprietor to contact everywhere. The two of them had not chatted like this for a long time.
"Run Qian has something to say?" Yinhu said with a smile, "You have also worked hard during this period. You have to contact your classmates and old friends in Beijing, and you have to remain calm. This job is not easy."
He Zhuo smiled and shook his head, "Baylor doesn't have to be like this. I am already a hopeless person, and I can still show my talents by following the Eighth Master, which will be a life-long comfort. However, when I talked about the current situation with my classmates in the Wuying Palace, many people
They all feel that since the prince is here, the princes probably want to be princes of peace. If the prince is deposed, given the situation in this dynasty, it is not surprising that the brothers will fight."
As a scholar from a well-known family, He Zhuo, like many others, was also responsible for editing books at Wuying Palace. At this moment, as a cultural person who has some "dream of being an emperor", he could not avoid the topic of the prince.
Even if the prince is deposed, the emperor still needs a successor, so he must establish another one.
"What Prince Taiping?" Yinhu chuckled, "Run Qian has been in Beijing for so long, and he should know that in the system of this dynasty, there is no need for a prince to be crowned king. If you can't become a prince at all, how can you talk about peace? It is inevitable for the emperor to cut down the clan.
To be content with the status quo in the future is just to rely on others.”
Yinsu poured two cups for himself and said slowly, "As I am a little older, I know that I will not be knighted very high in the future. Runqian doesn't think I was awarded Baylor for the first time, but maybe I am like Abatai, King of Raoyu County.
It will take Baylor decades to earn the title of county king."
He smiled and shook his head, "This was originally my fate, but... who asked the emperor to give me a chance? How could I miss it!" But now the emperor needs to divide the flag master, and the emperor's elder brother naturally has to share the worries for his father, Yinsu
The opportunity has come.
"I'm no better than other brothers." Ba Beile said in a rare frankness. "Run Qianxu doesn't know, let alone the deposed prince. The mother-in-law of the Prince of Zhi County is a pearl. A camel is so thin that it is bigger than a horse. The Nalan family can't be trusted by anyone."
Dare to look down upon me. Although my third brother and fifth brother’s mother’s family is not prominent, they are also family members. In recent years, the Ma Jia family and the Guo Luoluo family have received more or less support from the empress and the emperor’s elder brother.”
"In terms of origin, Si Beile and Qi Beile's mother's family are also Baoyi people." He Zhuo felt that something was wrong with Yinhu today, and he wanted to persuade her.
Unexpectedly, Yinhu laughed and said, "Seventh brother has inconvenient legs and feet, but he was also awarded the title of Baylor. Let's not care about this. As for fourth brother, Wu Ya's family background is true, but any girl from Yonghe Palace can be married by Khan Amma
Give Aling'a, the son of a duke. Look at Cao Yin again. His daughter was pointed out by Khan Ama to the iron hat. He was under the leadership of ordinary coatmen, coated officials, and Xin Zhe Kuzuo. This said that heaven and earth were
The difference is not too great.”
"What's more, in recent years, the Wuya family and the Dai Jia family have either received favors or raised flags. Only my mother's family has been picked on by Khan Ama. Anyway, they don't like it. They are more than 20 years old.
It’s been years, and I haven’t received any favor from the emperor... If I don’t climb up, we’ll all have to be stepped into the mud.”
There are many sons and grandsons in the capital, and as the blood relationship between generations is far apart, there are naturally less things to get. Not only the ordinary banner Ding family is short of money, but some yellow belts and red belts are also very strapped now.
Yinsu has always felt that he actually just wants to find a brighter path for himself. As for what Khan Amma thinks of him, he has actually thought about it himself. But if he can win over many people, Khan Amma cannot ignore the opinions.
Isn't it?
"Sometimes I always think that if my mother-in-law was not led by Xin Zhe Kuzuo, maybe my situation would be much better now." Yinhu finally smiled and said, "But maybe I don't want to make progress that much. Good fortune and misfortune depend on each other."
, who can tell me please.”
"Climb up and bring greater glory to E Niang." It can be said that this is the source of Yinhu's motivation. He wants everyone to praise him, and he wants to prove to everyone, including Kangxi, that his mother-in-law is a Xin person.
So what about Ku Baoyi, he is no worse than anyone else.
Mencius said, "Those who are virtuous, wise, and knowledgeable will always have diseases. The lonely minister is an evil son, and his worries are dangerous, and his worries are also deep, so he is great." Yinhu believed this, and he deposed the prince Yinreng.
After taking off the skin of the "Crown Prince", wouldn't he have no choice but to be locked up in the Shangsi Courtyard?
Father and son, brothers, are as thin as paper and vulnerable to power. The emperor felt that his mother's family was humble, so he elevated his status. When he matured, he would not have to worry so much and could not control what the emperor wanted.
Anyway, judging from the past events of their family Guanglue Baylor, even if they rebelled, their whole family would not die, not to mention that he was just thinking about the reserve position. Yinhu was in a relaxed mood, and there would be no big problems.
He Zhuo sighed in his heart, if you want to talk about dragons and phoenixes, life is so easy?
You can tell by looking at this gentleman that it is not necessarily the case. He tried his best to do what a staff member should do, and said, "Ba Ye has done well in all the errands assigned by the emperor, and the emperor has noticed it. After all, you are the best
Prince, the title of Baylor should be yours, it must be yours."
"Borrow a thousand words of good fortune." Yinhu raised his glass and touched it with He Zhuo.
Yinhu has been keeping a low profile recently. When communicating with others, he sends his confidants to send messages instead of meeting in person. He is waiting. The aftermath of the deposed prince is still shaking, and the party of the deposed prince has not yet been dealt with. He has to wait for the result. If the emperor will
If the people involved in the case are killed in a rage, then he can move forward with his next plan.
If the emperor doesn't deal with the deposed prince more severely, then he has to think of something. Thinking about it, Yinsu unconsciously walked to the door of Fujin's courtyard, but he immediately stopped and turned to Zhang's side.
Look at the eldest brother. The matter of applying for Zhang's title is imminent, and Yinsi doesn't want to have the chance to win while her only son, E Niang, is still a princess.
The mansions of Sibeile and Babeile are very close to each other. People in Yinzhen's mansion go out every day. When they pass by the door, Sibeile's mansion can be seen. On this day, Yinzhen was sitting in the study and had just passed the exam for his elder brother Honghui.
I asked about my homework and asked a few questions about the study situation in the palace.
Honghui was happy to talk about his life with Ama, which made him very interesting. "Brother Hongxi came back to study, but no one paid attention to him. Brother Deshou was sick again and did not come to the study."
"Where is Hong Han? How about your brother Hong Han in the study?"
"It's the same as before." Honghui tilted his head and thought for a while, "It's just that, my son thinks, brother Deshou and brother Hongxi don't come to the study, and the masters seem to be paying close attention to brother Honghan. Zhang Yushu, Bachelor of Arts
A few days ago, I was ordered to explain the imperial system to us, so I chose Brother Honghan to ask questions."
"In the past, when the brothers in Yuqing Palace were in the study, the master did not ask Brother Honghan questions so often. And Brother Hongxi was also Brother Honghan's younger brother. Now apart from his son, only Brother Honghan often talks to Brother Hongxi. Like
Hongqing, Guangyan, and Hailiang all avoided Hongxi."
Although Honghui is not old, he has good eyesight. Yinzhen is satisfied in his heart and has a stern father's look on his face: "Masters, you have your own reasons. You must study well in school and set a good example for your brothers. Don't slack off. Also.
Yes, I will still get along with your brothers and sisters in the study room...as usual."
Guangyan is the eldest son of King Chun, and Hailiang is the eldest son of their eldest sister, Princess Chunxi. They are both members of the clan, and they have never been very close to Yuqing Palace. It is not surprising that these two children avoid Hongxi. It’s just that
Hongqing and Yinzhen sat in the study and sighed. This must have been told to the child by his third brother.
Why bother? It's so easy for children to get involved in adults' right and wrong early on, and it's a mess.
Si Beile rubbed his eyebrows, and his bodyguard from outside came in and reported, "The guards of the Eighth Master of the Eight Beile Mansion have left the mansion several times today." Listening to the report, the fourth child smiled disdainfully. The eighth child really wanted to get involved in the reserve.
.
There are some in their family who are talented and bold, some are unruly, and now some are even stupid and bold.
After thinking about it, Yinzhen put away his smile again. Lao Ba was brave, but calling him stupid was just a joke. Sibeile thought of the virtue of his cousin Alsona a few days ago, not to mention how disgusting it was.
What he said was "We are too far apart, look at Eighth Brother..."
Huh, it's your fault that you are alienated. The fourth master gets angry when he thinks of this. How do you expect me to be close to you if you are not a decent person? Just go ahead and dream. If you want to go there with me alone, let's see how Khan Ama will deal with you.
What about myself?
Think about it, even if you stay behind closed doors all day long, there is still a saying outside that "Sanbeile is kind and good at writing, and polite to virtuous officials." However, the royal power of Zhijun does not think that there is such a thing as deposing the prince, so he will act as he should, and Khan Ama is the same.
Relying on him. Not to mention that Lao Ba pretends to be indifferent to foreign affairs, but is actually colluding with outsiders every day... He is also the emperor's fourth elder brother, so what should he do to stand more firmly? This is really a big problem.
As for the matter of fighting for the throne, not to mention that Khan Ama's handling of the deposed prince left many hidden dangers, Yinzhen also had to take another look. As for who is the most qualified to win the throne now, Yinzhen suppressed his thoughts and carefully thought about it.
Thinking about it, there is no doubt that it is their eldest brother, Prince Zhi.
Just like what Honghui said just now, when the Yuqing Palace fell, both internal and external attention would be focused on Prince Zhi. If Yinzhen had been born three hundred years later, he should have known about this phenomenon caused by the establishment of a direct lineage.
It's called "convention" and "conditioned reflex".
When the crown prince falls, he will be replaced by Prince Zhi. This idea seems to everyone to be logical. This is the human heart.
But now if nothing happens to Prince Zhi, it is understandable, as Prince Zhi is also waiting and watching. Originally, he was conspicuous enough as the eldest son, but with the eldest brother's consistent style, he will only keep a low profile now.
But no matter how low-key he is, everyone will still stare at him. Yinzhen frowns and is puzzled. As long as something goes wrong in this situation, good or bad, Prince Zhi will be speechless. How does he plan to get out of trouble...
Tomorrow he was going to Shangsiyuan for questioning. When Sibeile thought that his second elder brother, who had been the prince for thirty years, was now trapped in a place like Shangsiyuan, he had mixed feelings in his heart. He couldn't explain what it was like.
.
In the past twenty years or so, Yinzhen had an impression of how majestic the Yuqing Palace was and how kind and tolerant the Khan Amma was. Once the rift between father and son reached this point, he thought of his father who was still ill in the Qianqing Palace, and how he lived in the Qianqing Palace.
Going to his brother in the tent of Siyuan, Yinzhen suddenly became worried about tomorrow's questioning.
According to the usual practice, it is the emperor who has a problem, and they ask questions on behalf of the emperor. But in this situation, it is hard to say what kind of questions Khan Amma will ask, and how heart-wrenching it will be. This errand is really, Khan Amma
Trust, this is true, but it is also really embarrassing.
Forget it, let's see what the eldest brother will do when the time comes. Sibeile comforted herself, after all, I am the younger brother.
