Chapter 76 Chapter Seventy-Five

Gao Wuyong shouted outside: "Your Majesty!" I quickly got up and put on my clothes, but Yinzhen was still asleep, he hesitated for a while, but still pushed him, "It's almost five o'clock!" He frowned and lowered his eyebrows. Mmm' let out a sound, then squinted for a while, then turned over and sat up. I got up to wash up, and after breakfast, I hurried to Dongnuange.It was Wang Xi who was on duty. He saw me go in and came over to greet me with a smile.I said: "Go and do your own business!" As I said that, I went to the table to look through the account books.Wang Xi hurriedly stopped me, and said with a hesitant smile: "Sister, no one is allowed to come in without the emperor's permission." I looked up at him and said, "Do you think I am that person who doesn't know the rules? The emperor Allow me to see." He said in embarrassment: "But...but the emperor didn't..." I smiled and said: "I don't embarrass you, I will let the emperor give you instructions later, and I will come and see." He quickly responded with joy yes.

Wang Xi sat down with me in the wing room and was busy making tea for me. I stared at him for a while, seeing no one was around, and said slowly, "When did you follow the emperor?" Wang Xi put the tea on the table. Put it on the table, and said: "I know I can't hide it from my sister, it's a matter of fifty-two years." I sighed lightly: "Li Adada must be very sad!" His face turned pale, and I said: "It's not just you, but also There is me." He bowed his head and rubbed his hands in silence. I said: "You have always been very protective of me. You helped me secretly in the clothing bureau. You were entrusted by the emperor, right?" Just order me to find Zhang Qianying, the money is all from the emperor, I just bear the name! But I am also willing, and my sister has always been close, and I don't want my sister to suffer."

I asked: "You are the one trained by Li Wenda, power and money may not be able to buy you, why?" He said in a low voice: "I am from the south. Waterlogged, I was about to starve to death, my parents had no choice but to entrust acquaintances to send me to the palace, thinking that there was always a way to survive. There were six brothers in total, but some died of starvation, some died of illness, and later Only my fifth brother and I were left. Fortunately, the master was promoted. When I was growing up, the family already had enough food and clothing. The fifth brother was short-tempered. He flirted with his younger brother and sister for the magistrate's son, and beat him to death in a fit of anger. The other party wanted five My brother paid for his life and was sentenced to death. Although I was working in the palace, my elder sister knew my master's temper and was very strict with me, so there was no place for me to speak. The fifth younger brother was sent to the end of his retirement, and the incense was passed on. Later, fortunately, Mr. Li heard about this and re-examined the case, saying, "Molesting a good housewife first, and then killing someone by mistake. Although there is a crime, it will not be a death penalty.". Fifth brother, he was sentenced to another eight years in prison, but his life was saved."

I asked: "Master Li is Li Wei?" Wang Xi nodded yes.I sighed inwardly, Li Wenda also sent Wang Xi to lead people to block the news of Changchun Garden that day.There are Long Kedo outside, Wang Xi inside, and Yinzhen can be counted as taking advantage of the right time and place. After Yinzhen came down to court, he discussed matters with Eighth Lord, Thirteenth Lord and others in the hall.Gao Wuyong stood waiting outside, seeing me waving to him, he hurriedly turned his head to give instructions to the eunuch beside him, and hurried over.I asked, "When will the father-in-law transfer Yutan over?" He laughed and said, "Auntie, although the people in the Hall of Mental Cultivation are assigned to me in name, they all have to be nodded by the emperor. This matter..." I cut off: "The emperor has agreed."

He laughed and said: "That's good! There are not enough people serving in the Hall of Mental Cultivation nowadays, but the servants in front of the imperial court must be quick in their hands and feet, and have a solid mind. They have to say what should be said, and what should not be said should not be said. It is better to be short than to abuse. The servant is worried. It would be best if Yutan came." I said: "Thank you, father-in-law!" He smiled and said: "I should thank my aunt." He retreated with a thousand blows. Stayed up until the dinner time was too early, the sky was dark, and the people discussing affairs in the hall dispersed.

Yinzhen stretched out his hand and let me roll up his sleeves for him, "Why don't you eat by yourself first?" I smiled without saying a word, and was helping him wash his hands in the sink, when he suddenly held my hand tightly, I twitched a few times without smacking Taking off, Ju Yun, who was holding a basin at the side, pretended to turn her head inadvertently.My cheeks were hot and I glared at him. He saw that I was in a hurry, Fang Nuannuan smiled and let go. After dinner, while drinking tea, Gao Wuyong came in and said, "Yu Tan has already arrived, this servant is here to ask what the emperor wants, what should I ask her to do?" Yinzhen frowned, looked at me, and I frowned too look at him.He doesn't know what he promised me last night, does he?

He looked at me for a while, then turned his head and ordered lightly: "Order her to serve the tea." Gao Wuyong kowtowed and then withdrew.I said: "I'm to blame for this matter. You said 'yes' last night in a daze, but I thought you were clear at the time." His expression eased, and he said: "Forget it!" I bowed my head and said nothing, and he asked, "Are you unhappy?" I shook my head and said, "You have your own considerations, and it was me who overtook you." He asked, "Then what are you thinking?" I was silent for a while, then raised my head Looking at him, I said, "I lamented 'Some people skipped the night to go to the examination room, and some people resigned and returned to their hometown'."

Yinzhen's face suddenly changed, and after the two of them sat silently for a long while, he said, "I thought you can stop using the Forbidden City as a cage now!" I said, "I'm just afraid, I'm very afraid of this place." Said: "With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything. I will never let you suffer a little bit of wronged or suffer a little bit!" He misunderstood me, I smiled and shook his hand, no more Talk too much. "That's right! Today I went to look at the account books, but Wang Xi stopped me back. The current rules of the Hall of Mental Cultivation are even better than that of the Holy Grandpa's Qianqing Palace." He thought for a while and said, "The palace is empty during the daytime. , I ordered someone to move the account book you want to see there, you can read it over there! Keep this matter secret." I nodded and agreed.Although it is only to check the account books, it is also suspected of interfering in political affairs.If it weren't for the tiredness of watching him, I would never want to provoke these things.

Yinzhen lowered his head and flipped through the booklet, then looked up at me who was leaning on the couch and said indifferently: "I ordered my fourteenth brother to come back for the funeral, and the imperial edict should be in his hands within two or three days." I held the account book in my hand, staring at it with my eyes, but my heart was in a mess.In the past few days, I have been avoiding thinking about Fourteenth, the capital has changed the world long ago, but he still doesn’t know that Kangxi has passed away, maybe he is still drinking and wishing Kangxi good health.

I said, "I have something I want to ask you." Without raising his head, Yinzhen still looked at the memorial and said, "Ask!" "You made those two dying eagles, right?" Mo's hand froze slightly, and then everything returned to normal. He smoothed the brush along the edge of the inkstone, and while writing, he said, "How do you know?" I closed my eyes and said: "That day when I was about to get up to intercede, Wang Xi held me back. At that time, I thought it was just a coincidence, but now that I think about it, although Wang Xi is smart, those two sentences hit the nail on the head, not knowing me. Those who are profound are afraid that they won’t be able to speak out for a moment, because they don’t have the quick wit.”

Yinzhen said: "Although you are smart, you are soft-hearted. When you are impulsive, you act on your emotions. The eighth brother is your brother-in-law. If you are impulsive, you will definitely do stupid things, so I can only let Wang Xi watch you." I took Covering his face with the account book, he said, "At first I thought it was the Fourteenth Master who did it. I guess the Eighth Master also suspects that the Fourteenth Master did it." I asked: "How did you impress the servants around Ba Ye?" Yinzhen said calmly while writing: "Everyone has weaknesses, nothing more than greed, joy, anger, ignorance, anger, hatred, and resentment. Observe his mind, slowly lure him into him, and he will always be used by others. I only ordered people to spend time on that old eunuch. Ordinary people think that young people are easy to be tempted, but they don’t know that there are more dark ghosts in the hearts of old people.” I asked: "Then why did they all commit suicide?" Yinzhen said: "Ruoxi, I don't want you to know this." I said: "This is a mystery that has been in my heart for many years, tell me." The medicine given by the eunuch seems to have committed suicide by taking poison, but in fact only the old eunuch committed suicide by hanging himself, and in the eyes of outsiders, they would think that he committed suicide in fear of crime." Human life is so contemptible, I dare not think about it. I quietly asked: "Aren't you afraid that the holy grandfather didn't end up in a muddle back then, but just pursued it?" Yinzhen stopped writing, glanced at me and said, "Do you think Huang Ama didn't investigate secretly? It takes people to design a frame Evidence is indeed not easy, but it is not difficult to make a headless case. I really did not expect Huang Ama to deal with it so decisively. At that time, the more chaotic the situation, the better for me. It is unavoidable to be suspected, and it is unavoidable for the old eight to be suspicious of each other, so my goal has been achieved." Yinzhen went out of the meeting silently and said: "I was a little surprised when I saw Huang Ama do that, but it is also true. Made me see a lot of things." He bowed his head and read the memorial quietly, while I was in a daze silently.The two eagles reversed the situation in which the 'Baye Party' had the upper hand at that time.Use Kangxi's hatred of Ba Ye to attack Ba Ye.It also planted seeds of doubt in Ba Ye's heart. Although he had to support Fourteenth Master because he was afraid of Yinzhen, the suspicion in his heart made him always have reservations, and it was impossible to support Fourteenth Master wholeheartedly.In the Huanyi Bureau, I can't know the details of Yinzhen's secret struggle with Fourteen since fifty-four years later, but the rift between the Fourteenth Lord and the Eighth Lord must be beneficial to Yinzhen.Perhaps the only thing Yinzhen missed was that Kangxi was so decisive with Ba Ye that the 14th National Congress had the upper hand in the end. After a long while, he said: "Don't think about it anymore! Did you forget what the imperial doctor ordered? You promised me to follow the doctor's order." I hurriedly collected my thoughts, put down the account book, and walked around the room casually. When the third watch drum sounded, he persuaded: "You go back and rest first, I have to finish reading these scriptures today. Go to bed after reading." I stood still, and he said: "I have just ascended the throne, and many things are very important. I haven't figured it out yet, and when everything is sorted out, it won't be like this." I sighed, knowing that I would not be able to persuade him tonight, and that I could only make him anxious here.Then he turned and went back to his room to rest. I hid in his bedroom and looked at the account book carefully. The more I looked, the bigger it became. It was really not an easy job to sort out these things.I don't have a computer, and I haven't done it for many years. Fortunately, it is the skill that I relied on for a living, and I gradually become familiar with it in retrospect. First design a simple and clear form, draw a small pattern, and instruct the eunuch to take a large piece of paper and find someone to draw it properly.Then it is to sort out the initial data at hand and fill in the report form. The busy time flies by so quickly. I often feel a sore neck and a tingling back when I get up to rest and find that most of the day has passed.When Yinzhen called me for dinner, I went over and used some.If you don't call, just eat a few bites by yourself and continue to work hard. At night, he is often busy in Dongnuan Pavilion, and I am busy in his bedroom. Sometimes I am so tired that I crawl to the bed in a groggy state and go to sleep. Anyway, he seldom comes back.I feel like going back to the busy season of accounting every year. I only sleep four or five hours a day and work overtime all night.Relying on coffee and cigarettes to refresh myself, now I can only rely on tea.Sometimes the taste of coffee and cigarettes is infinitely missed in the mouth. "Aunt, the emperor wants to see you." Gao Wuyong whispered outside the curtain.I hurriedly threw away the pen, stood up and stretched my waist, and followed him.Except for the guards, there was no one else along the way.I secretly wondered but didn't think much about it. "What are you fussing about? Busier than I am?" Seeing me coming in, Yinzhen put down his brush and motioned for me to sit down.I leaned on his shoulder and said, "You will know later." He casually picked up the notebook he was writing, and ordered the tombstones of Aling'a and Kuixu to be engraved respectively on the tombstones of the long-dead Aling'a and Kuixu, "the tomb of Aling'a who is not a subject, not a younger brother, violent, greedy and mediocre", "the tomb of unfaithful, unfilial, filthy, treacherous and treacherous". Tomb" and so on.It was only because Ah Ling'a, Kui Xu and Ba Ye designed to frame him back then. Ten years later, everyone was dead, but Yinzhen still couldn't let go of his hatred.I sighed lightly, and put down the folder. He patted me on the back lightly and said, "I don't care what I'm struggling with, but you have to eat well and sleep well." I said, "Everyone, each other! Don't just talk about me, you're also thinking about it." He He laughed angrily and said: "I want to control the whole world, how can I compare it?" I smiled and said: "When you want to put on the emperor's airs, just 'Zhen, Zhen'. Don't worry! I always remember that you are the emperor! I dare not forget." He was silent for a while, then sighed: "Thirteenth brother Now you always remember that I am the emperor, so you don't take it to heart. I want you to do the same in the future." I looked at him and said softly: "When you always say 'I' in private and deliberately don't use 'Zhen', I understand. So although you are no longer the fourth elder brother or the fourth prince, I only want to regard you as a Yinzhen." For the first time, the name that had been called a thousand times in my heart came out from between my lips and teeth.His expression was slightly startled, a smile slowly escaped from the corner of his lips, and he stared at me warmly. I suddenly felt sore, hugged him and murmured: "I don't want to see you as the emperor at all, that's a lonely person, but you are the emperor, you hold the power of life and death!" As I spoke, my heart became more and more uncomfortable, Afraid that he would hear something strange, she hurriedly shut up, and just hugged him quietly. He said: "Only in this way can I have what I want and protect what I love! I have no rights and I can only watch you get hurt, but there is nothing I can do." The two hugged each other silently for a while, and he kissed me lightly on the forehead Said: "I still need to read the scriptures." I got up and said with a smile: "I have to go to my own business." He smiled and shook his head, watching me out of the curtain. I went out and walked slowly, while stretching my muscles and bones, Yu Tan, Mei Xiang, Ju Yun and other court ladies and eunuchs who served in the Hall of Mental Cultivation came in one after another from the outside, all of them looked a little terrified.I pulled Yutan into the room and asked, "What's the matter?" Yutan stared at the ground for a long time and said, "Just now, Eunuch Gao ordered us to see the magpie and be punished." The magpie is also a maid in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. "What punishment? Why?" Yu Tan said: "She told Concubine Qi privately about the emperor's daily life in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. In addition to the servants in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor also ordered the eunuchs and maids in Concubine Qi's palace to come. Watch." Yutan paused and said, "Stand dead!" I gasped, beat me to death!Now there should be no one who would dare to pass on information secretly, and no empress would dare to inquire about Yinzhen's daily life in private.Holding Yutan's cold hands tightly, he asked after a while, "Are you okay?" Yutan nodded.
