It has been more than ten years since the end of the Western Expedition in the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi's reign, when Kangxi disposed of the haha beads around the prince, or from the earlier "matter worship incident". Looking back on the past, everyone has different feelings. .
"The prince was deposed and the old man fell. In the blink of an eye, the situation changed again."
Yinzhi muttered to Chen Menglei in the study room of Xichun Garden, "I don't know what Khan Amma's plan is."
"Third Master, the Emperor has already made a plan. But Third Master, do you have any plans?" Chen Menglei has been living quite comfortably in Beijing these years. Except for Li Guangdi, an old guy who can't take revenge, everything else is pretty good. The weathered color on the face is getting lighter day by day.
Yinzhi spread his hands and smiled, "What other plans can I have? Let me tell you what's in my heart. If Prince Zhi is frivolous and not cautious, then that's it. I didn't see the scene yesterday, and there were a lot of people saying weird things. , but Prince Zhi even shouted back."
"It's such a hot-butt seat. I really can't sit there without some support."
Sanbeile just sighed today, "I just watched the big show in Qianqing Palace yesterday, and I remembered that when my brothers were young... they would feel that studying and practicing martial arts was hard, and that every move had to be controlled by others, and I felt uncomfortable. , but compared with now, why do I feel that I am becoming more and more boring?"
"It seems like I can see all my future in this life today. The days just passed like this." Yinzhi finally said with a sigh.
No matter which dynasty or generation a prince belongs to, he only wants to be the prince and then the emperor, otherwise he will be granted a title and a vassal. However, the prince of this dynasty is only granted a title and no title. He will stay in the capital all his life and cannot even leave the capital without a purpose. If you say it sounds good, you are like a dragon and a phoenix. If you say it sounds bad, it is just a bird in a cage.
Sometimes Yinzhi thinks, otherwise this dynasty would simply allow the clan to make a living on its own, and he could still teach his son to study and take the imperial examination, which would be considered a pursuit. But this is contrary to the ancestral family law, so he can only think about it. Very enjoyable.
Sanbeile just recalled the past with some sadness, but Wubeile cursed loudly in the ninth elder brother's house, "Yinzhen, have you grown a brain? What was the situation at that time? Even if you were kind and righteous, did you open your mouth and save Yinxu?" "
Lao Jiu was also wilting now. Listening to Fifth Brother's lecture, Wu Beile also said, "Do you know what Khan Ama said about you?"
Wu Beile looked at his younger brother coldly and told him, "Khan Ama said you are loyal to Liangshanbo! What is loyalty to Liangshanbo? Brother, you are reckless, you are a prince!"
"That's loyalty after all. At least Khan Ama also admits that I am affectionate and righteous..." Yinzhen's voice became smaller and smaller. He usually just had a tough talk, and Yinqi never cared about it. Now Yinqi became serious, Yinzhen could only curl his lips and calm down, and stopped talking.
Yinqi said sincerely, "Just let E Niang save some time. After Xiao Shiyi is gone, E Niang will only have the two of us, and I will be your younger brother. You can live more peacefully. If you like doing business, do business and enjoy wealth. The capital can't even pretend to be there." is you!"
"Mother, do you know?" Yinzhen was really filial to his son, so he felt a little uneasy at this moment.
"...What do you think?" Yinqi glared at his younger brother, "Every stone in the palace can talk. Things were so big that day. Ful Hulun and I went to report to the Queen Mother. Do you think the harem leaders knew about it? "
In fact, what Yi Fei told Yinqi was, "Let Lao Jiu be taught a lesson by your Khan Ama, and he will learn to behave, otherwise your persuasion will be of no use!" But Wu Beile was kind, so he kept this to himself and only said: Mom is worried. Being a son is also difficult.
However, Ninth Brother's thinking was always different from his own. He stared at Yiqi for a long time and suddenly asked, "Fifth Brother, you have always felt that the eldest brother is the most suitable, and the Eighth Brother will definitely have no chance. To be honest, eldest brother If it is true...you have made a meritorious service, don't forget about my brother when the time comes."
"...Lao Jiu, outsiders praise you for your shrewd appearance." Yinqi didn't want to talk anymore. This is not the key issue at all. The key is that you and Lao Ba are mixed together. Can Khan Ama pass this level? What to say later.
Not far from Babeile Mansion is Sibeile Mansion. Instead of feeling relieved these past few days, Yinzhen was extremely anxious. His eldest son Honghui was ill. There was such a big incident in the Qianqing Palace that day. The emperor's grandchildren were in the study room of Hongde Hall. After listening to the whole audience, these boys were so courageous that they sneaked out of the study while the master was distracted and hid in the corner between Hongde Palace and Qianqing Palace to listen to the adults quarreling.
At this time of year, the place where the sun does not shine is cold and cold. Honghui may have caught a cold and started coughing in the palace. When he returned home, Honghui's cough became serious. He couldn't get up these days and naturally had to Take time off to recuperate.
Honghui is now ten years old, and catching cold occasionally is not a serious problem, but for his illness, taking medicine is of no use. Sifujin asked privately, did he catch something in the palace?
"Don't talk nonsense, there is nothing in the palace that can hinder him." Yinzhen said this, but he also believed it in his heart. It's just that Lao Ba's fortune telling is still a hot topic in the capital, and it's hard for him to find someone. Come and do it!
Everyone has their own things to do. Prince Zhi is currently fishing in Ziyi Garden with his cousin Chengde. His nephew Fusen is helping to hang the bait. Uncle Mingzhu is watching them fishing. Yinti and Chengde occasionally say a few words, Fusen listened quietly, but Mingzhu watched with a smile and never interrupted.
In his opinion, his nephew's mental skills were sufficient. If there were any shortcomings, he would have to rely on his own experience to make up for it. There was no way to teach this thing step by step.
And Yinti didn't come here to ask for advice. It's just that he didn't have to take shifts these days, and Kangxi was going to be well. He always felt uneasy in the house, and Daoqin couldn't see him standing or sitting down. I came up with an idea to ask him to go out for a walk.
Wandering around the streets is no longer what the current Prince Zhi can do, so Yinti has no choice but to visit relatives' houses. Ilgenjueluo's house, he ran directly over to scare Narisong to death, and his brothers' houses were like this We couldn't go, so we had to run to the suburbs. We happened to bump into Fusen who was racing horse racing, so we came here.
Fusen stood up straight. He thought that Ama and the county prince must be talking about some major military affairs, or the recently hotly discussed issue of establishing a prince. Unexpectedly, the county prince turned his head and looked at himself, opened his mouth and asked, "Is he almost twenty? Is he still?" Don’t you want to find a wife for Fu Sen?”
"Are you also starting to care about this kind of issue?" Cheng De was surprised, while Mingzhu, who had white hair and beard on the side and back, laughed loudly. The children back then had reached the age where they could open their mouths and care about the younger generation for life.
In the past, Yinti talked about knowledge, anecdotes, court affairs, the emperor, interpersonal relationships, in short, they were all serious topics. It seemed that this was the only serious topic, and family affairs were only mixed up when they caught up.
In fact, taking things lightly means not delaying anything. There is no delay in setting up a bank account, and there is no delay in talking about light household chores.
"We will choose to pay homage to Tang A this summer, and then we'll talk about it." Cheng De smiled. He also wanted to talk about some light things with Yin Ti. But the family affairs would also be involved in the court, "Gen Yao went to Sichuan to preside over the provincial examination.
, the emperor has already made plans to promote him to cabinet bachelor, which is not bad."
"Well, he did a good job. Khan Ama even asked me a question when he was drawing up the list." Yinti smiled and said, "Nian Gengyao can do things well, Niu Niu has a good life, and the family is relieved. But, Khan Ama Qian'er
He also said that when he is well, he will call a few people into the palace for questioning...the first one will be Aling'a!"
"I wonder what the punishment will be this time..." Cheng De was interrupted by Mingzhu before he could finish his words.
"There won't be any punishment, at most it's just a lesson or two." Mingzhu waved her hand to her grandson to step aside first, and then said with a smile, "Even if the emperor meets Aling'a, Aling'a will only excuse himself. What can the emperor do?"
what to do?"
"It was the emperor himself who convened the meeting of the king and ministers to discuss political affairs, and it was he who asked people to speak freely in front of the emperor. Even if the emperor couldn't face it, he could only scold Babeile based on his origin and temperament, and get rid of the matter. Now he has put the matter aside.
Even if the minister calls him over, it will only calm the matter down."
"Our Emperor Kangxi has this kind of temper. In his eyes, Tuoheqi betrayed his master, so he had to die. But Aling'a, who has been favored by the emperor for so many years, and who belongs to the Duke Niu Hulu's family, is the worst
In other words, it means cutting off the title, but the emperor will not take matters to such an extent."
"Amma is right. The one who hopes most for this matter to end peacefully at this moment is the emperor," Cheng De said. "But when it comes to seizing the title, Ye Bilong has a son, and Aling'a has a younger brother. Thinking about Fakha, I guess
Aling'a is also scared now."
Yinti smiled and said, "I really want to hear what he will say to Khan Ama."
When Kangxi summoned Aling'a, he was still very angry and planned to ask Aling'a why he recommended Yinhu in tandem. There were so many people at that time, who would believe that there was no tandem!
But Aling'a's ability to serve as Kangxi's favorite minister for twenty years was certainly not for nothing. As soon as he entered the Xinuang Pavilion, he began to cry: "Your Majesty, you are in good health, and my servant can die in peace!"
"...Why are you crying now?" Kangxi was not very interested in the middle-aged man's tears. "I didn't say what I said that day. I feel that Yinhu is simply the proud son of heaven, and no one under my knee can be better than him!"
"Your Majesty, I am the minister in charge of the bodyguards. I have often met Ba Beile in official affairs in the past few years. Ba Beile is capable and thorough in his work. I don't know the other elder brothers well, so I recommended the eighth elder brother that day."
Ah Ling and Ah Xu talked a lot. To sum up, the meaning is that because the emperor asked about the candidate, he had to answer, let alone answer blindly, so he mentioned Yinhu, who he was familiar with, and naturally praised him a few words. Because he had
Sometimes he saw people around Ba Beile praising him like this.
In short, he was confused and failed to understand the emperor's meaning. He was deceived. He still wanted to shirk, but Kangxi asked coldly, "Where is Tong Guowei, haven't you seen him?"
"..." Aling'a knew that this interview could not go well. Fortunately, a savior came from outside. Liang Jiugong came in to report, and Long Keduo came.
