Chapter 11 The Eleventh Round

Before Girl Yun could get out of the prison, the prisoners howled "Aww" and rushed to the basket, grabbed He Gengjin's change of clothes and threw them on the ground, scrambling to grab the food inside.In addition to a dozen mixed noodle pancakes, there were also a few pieces of old pickles and two hard-boiled salted eggs.Shen San caught the egg, but dared not eat it. He squeezed the pancake with one hand and ate it loudly, saying, "This prodigal girl is not bad at craftsmanship. It's really fragrant, and there are pepper leaves kneaded in it——Master Wei, two eggs are natural." It’s your old use!” The rest of the prisoners were holding pancakes and pickles and biting into them, eating with relish, shouting, slurring their voices indistinctly, and some laughed and said: “Master Wei, He Gengjin Finally, there is a routine of filial piety, so let him be excused!" Yun Yatou saw clearly through the gate, squatted down and cried loudly, no matter how much Hu Fugui procrastinated, she would never get up.Wei Tianpeng walked past Zhaohui with an egg in each hand, passed one through the grille, and said with a smile:

"Your eyes are swollen and bleeding, are you greedy? Come on, Master Wei will give you one!" "!!" Zhaohui's blood was throbbing all over his body, dizzy and trembling, staring at the egg handed to his face, his eyes turned black with anger, and was thinking about how to punish the bully in prison, when Wei Tianpeng dropped the egg and dragged him tightly around his neck The long braid on the back was pulled suddenly, and Zhaohui's head was caught between the fences and he couldn't move! "Mr. Hu can't beat you up," Wei Tianpeng glanced at Hu Fugui who was dragging Yun girl, "You probably don't know, I'm still Lao Hu's brother!——I'll teach you a bastard for Lao Hu!" A prisoner said: "This guy has kung fu! Come on, beat him up!" Immediately, several prisoners came up yelling.Wei Tianpeng wrapped the braids around his hands and pulled hard. The prisoners rained fists on Zhaohui's head, chest and stomach, and kicked him across the fence.At this time, Yun girl was already startled, her face was bloodless, and she half-lyed on the ground watching the tragedy.Hu Fugui gritted his teeth and watched the commotion, and said to himself, "Don't kick your crotch, don't kick your crotch—these officials' money is piled up like a mountain, and it's still worthless at this point!" The punching and kicking became more vicious .

Zhao Hui is a battle-hardened fighter, and such punches and kicks are nothing to worry about.Kugan's braid was dragged to death, unable to move his body, and he had no weapon in his hand, so he could only be beaten by others.In a hurry, I saw an earthen pot under my feet, covered with a large coarse porcelain bowl. Because I couldn't bend down, my legs nimbly avoided kicks, and my toes hooked up. When I got up, I was already holding the bowl in my right hand, and with a snap of my hands, the bowl was split into two pieces!Zhaohui held one in each hand, it was like two daggers, no matter what happened, he stretched over the fence and stabbed and slashed. !” With a sound, he fell to the ground.The two who had cut their hands were also dripping with blood, and their necks were so painful that they held their hands and their mouths were crooked, baring their teeth, and kept yelling and cursing.Wei Tianpeng pulled his braid far away and still didn't let go, shouting: "Kick him, kick the thing in his hand!" Seeing Zhao Hui's strength, the prisoners just kicked and kicked in vain, and dared not take a step closer.At this time, Hu Fugui seemed to wake up suddenly, and shouted at everyone: "Stop! What the fuck is this rule?"

"You only know the rules now?" Because the braid was at the back of the head, Wei Tianpeng pulled it tight, and Zhao Hui was pulled halfway to the side of his face, cursing: "Your surname is Hu, wait, I will not kill you until I swear!" Then use the bowl of stubble to cut the braid.Wei Tianpeng also disregarded his identity as "Qianlong", withdrew his hands and fled to the northeast corner.Zhao Hui's hatred was hard to get rid of, so he let go of his hands and feet again, stretched his arms over the fence and waved, and the half of the bowl flew straight over.Just as Wei Tianpeng cut a "dang lang" on his left cheek, it landed on the ground.In today's terms, the carotid artery was severed, and it cannot be treated immediately, it is no different from beheading—only the blood from Wei Tianpeng's neck shot straight out like chopsticks, splashed straight to the wall, and immediately fell to the ground with a muffled groan After rolling a few times, his legs straightened, his whole body trembled violently, and he was relieved all of a sudden, his head buried in his own blood, and he didn't move at all.

All the prisoners in the room were stupefied with fright. Some stretched their necks, some bent over, and some still had mixed noodles in their mouths and pickles in their hands. They remained motionless as if someone had fixed them.The prisoners in the other cells also put their heads on the side of the fence, looking at the large cell through the cracks in the wooden pillars."My mother..." Yun girl groaned and passed out. With a pale face, Hu Fugui opened the door and entered the cell, turned over the body, looked at the wound, felt his pulse, and tested his breath. Wei "Qianlong" was absolutely silent, and when he opened his eyes, his pupils had already scattered. The drum holds the mountain and the moon, and one life goes west.It took Hu Fugui a long time to wake up. He was so flustered that he even forgot to close the door of the cell. He came out in a hurry and shouted: "That fugitive general Zhaohui killed someone in the cell! Come here, put a heavy shackle on him, and go to the cell." Shackles! Kill this thief!"

Following his shout, more than a dozen jailers swarmed in. Seeing Zhaohui sitting against the wall with his knees and feet crossed as if nothing had happened, they immediately rushed up and put a forty-jin heavy oak flail on Zhaohui with a click. Then he clattered and fastened the big fetters on him.The other side cleans up the blood and lifts the corpse, but Zhaohui has no ability to resist here. The three yamen servants waved their whips, and they just whipped around Zhaohui without thinking.Immediately, Zhao Hui's whole body was bloody and bloody. She only closed her eyes and gritted her teeth to bear the pain, but she didn't groan.Yun girl, who was unconscious in the corridor, had already woken up. Seeing this scene, she rushed to the fence and begged: "Don't hit me, don't hit me..." He Gengjin, who was on the next number, also cried and begged: "Master Hu...it's up to me Get up. Hit me, hit me..."

"Young lady, you go back!" Zhao Hui suddenly opened his eyes, and said to Yun girl: "I can definitely save your father!" Hu Fugui laughed back angrily, and said: "You can really be sympathetic and cherish jade! You are a fugitive wanted by the imperial court, and you will inevitably be stabbed in Xishi, and you still say to save others?" He kicked at Yun girl: "Get out! It's not you. Girl, can I fine you a year's salary?" Two guards pushed and kicked Yun girl out.Here, Hu Fugui couldn't help being angry, he came in himself, beat his head and covered his face, and whipped the whip violently for a while. When he was tired, he said, "Take He Gengjin to this chant, they are a case now, and ask the old man to serve his son-in-law!" Hui has passed out.Hu Fugui kicked him on the waist again, and said: "Don't pretend to be dead, you bastard - two meals a day of roasted bamboo shoots in salt water will teach you to eat enough!" After that, he locked the door and took someone away.

In the afternoon of the same day, Hu Fugui came again with several jailers.This time, he came prepared. First, he tied Zhaohui straight with a rope, and crawled flat on the ground with the shackles. He dipped a bamboo strip in salt water and whipped it violently in turns, saying that this was called "burning bamboo shoots in salt water".This severe beating was very different from the morning. In the morning, it was just a pain in the skin and flesh. This kind of beating had salt water all over his body, which was like being scorched by a cannonball.Zhaohui was standing upright on the ground wearing the shackles, and could only see Hu Fugui's legs moving back and forth, feeling hatred, sadness, pain, and desolation in her heart, she gritted her teeth and held back a groan, and then secretly swore to the sky: "Once he is rehabilitated, I will not kill this husband!" The big prisoners were cheering and booing at first, but suddenly became silent at some point. In which cell did a prisoner call out "good man!"Then dozens of people responded to the "hero"!Zhao Hui didn't know anything after a "buzz" of his head...

Zhaohui fell into a coma for three whole days, and when she woke up, she found that she was no longer in the original cell, but a small room about seven feet square.Not only was he lying on the bed, but also the table, kettle and tea bowl, the shackles on his neck and the shackles on his feet were gone, and his whole body was wrapped in raw white cloth.He was in a trance for a while, looking at the flat ceiling covered with clean white paper, subconsciously raised his body, and saw the big "Compassion" hall standing in the east through the curtain, only then did he realize that he was still in prison, only I don't know why it moved... Hearing the sound of "Pu Pu" blowing fire, Zhaohui turned his face, but saw He Gengjin squatting on the ground with his waist bent, and three stones propped up a medicine pot, boiling medicine.There was a rustling sound outside the door, as if someone was scrubbing something.If there is only a small foot exposed at the corner of the gate, you can tell it is a woman.Zhao Hui let out a long breath, and said softly, "Changed my name..."

"Master Zhao (Zhao), you are awake!" The old man He who was making medicine hurriedly got up and came to the bed, and asked, "Are you thirsty? Are you hungry?" Before Zhaohui could answer, the gate outside the gate The shadow of Yun girl flashed out, pawing at the door, and murmured slightly panting: "Nawu great mercy and great compassion to save the suffering and the mighty mighty Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva... You are awake... It is really frightening. For three days and three nights, I was so unconscious I don't know..." Zhao Hui was startled, and asked, "It's been three days since I died?"

"It's been four days, Mr. Tai." Old man He sighed, "It was the one who moved you to this trumpet three days ago. You were unconscious in front of your head, and that Mr. Hu even went in and kicked you a few times..." "Why did you move here?" "I don't know." He Gengjin shook his head and said, "It was the supervisors here who brought you here. Maybe your family or your friends used money... I heard from the uncles here that all the officials here are high-ranking ones. Criminal, I don't understand why the doctor can't punish you, anyway, the doctor will prescribe medicine for you..." Zhaohui thought hard, no one would save her with money, but she was still dizzy and unable to figure out what to do.Let He Gengjin feed him a few sips of water, and said, "I'm hungry. Give me one of the buns in the basket on the table..." "Don't eat that." He Gengjin said, "That's the meal that Yun'er gave me. What they offer you is fine rice, white flour, and meat. Girl Yun—are you ready?" "That's good, that's good!" Yun girl outside said repeatedly, "The steamed stuffed buns in the cage are too hot! Hey!" As she said, she patted her hands, and in a blink of an eye she used a small basket to hold a few snow-white steamed buns across the door. Plug it in.Zhao Hui ate one, it was stuffed with pure meat and scallions, and when he bit into it, it was oily, and he was about to say "sweet!" Glancing at the basket, Yin said, "I'm so tired, bring me what you eat." Yun The girl smiled and said from the door: "I'm afraid of getting tired, all I use is lean meat, and I didn't dare to add oil. You man! We didn't even mix oil except leeks, salt and salt. We didn't even mix oil. We didn't listen to it." May leek, stinky dog'——" She suddenly felt a slip of the tongue, blushed, and turned around embarrassingly. Zhaohui didn't pay attention, eating a leek stuffed bun was really not very tasty, and because of the hot weather, she was so salty that it stung her mouth, she chewed and said, "Not bad." She asked, "Why did you get locked up here?" By the way? It’s unbelievable that Yun girl can still serve in front of you.” “I don’t understand this even more.” He Gengjin said, “I think hell has moved to heaven! ——Whatever, just use it when you need it. Anyway, it’s better not to suffer now.” While speaking, there was a burst of footsteps approaching.When Zhaohui looked at it, it was the jailer who brought in a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old.The young man had delicate features and a flowing expression. He only wore a sky blue solid gauze gown, a crimson belt, and a new black satin melon skin cap on his head. He stood gracefully behind the prison history, with a gentle smile on his face.It makes people feel good at first sight.The prison history saw him staring at the young man, leaning over to touch the medicinal cloth wrapped around Zhaohui's shoulder, and asked, "Have you changed your medicine today? I told them to change it twice a day. Is your body feeling better now?" "Who is this gentleman?" Zhaohui looked at the young man and asked, "Do you see me?" Seeing that he ignored him, Prison History was not embarrassed, and introduced with a smile: "This is He Shen Sir, now I'm working with Agui Zhongtang in the military aircraft department, and I'm so successful, that's—" He Shen cut off without waiting for him to finish, "—it's Mr. Gui who asked me to come and see you. I came a step late, you have suffered a lot .” Zhaohui didn't answer.Prison history came up and said with a smile: "There are a lot of adults, you have to be sympathetic to the difficulties of us idiots. When the local officials can scrape the land, when they are the leaders of the soldiers, they can eat the empty quota. Like me, there are only cases in August and February. Hu Fugui and the others only Two taels. This place doesn’t eat prisoners. Who does it eat? My grandfather has been working here for three lifetimes. As long as the prisoner doesn’t escape, he’s happy to ask the prisoner to control the prisoner, isn’t he? The head of the prisoner in the Renai Cell It's fierce! This Wei Tianpeng was just unlucky, and he ran into your hand..." Zhaohui listened coldly, and said: "They are going to kill me, what do you do? I am the one who beat me to death now What would you do if you lost him?" "It's such a hot day, when will the prison not carry dead bodies outside?" Prison history laughed when he heard it, "This matter can't be called a 'case', we have our own method - a 'severe illness' report can be registered and recorded. Done." Zhaohui couldn't help sighing secretly, "It's really killing people like grass without hearing a word..." Turning to He Kun, "Is there any news about Hailancha?" He Shen smiled and said, "How dare I ask this, wait With the letter, you knew it earlier than me—don’t think about anything, just recover from your injury. I’ve agreed here, I’ll give you a bill, and you can take a walk in the yard if you want to. What’s missing , tell that girl Yun, I will naturally take care of you." After saying that, without saluting, he only nodded to Zhaohui with a smile and resigned.Prison history escorted He Shen out like a dog's tail, and turned back in a blink of an eye. He didn't even lock the gate in the middle. People. I was supposed to be imprisoned by those lords in the beekeeping lane, but I was imprisoned in Shuntian Mansion by accident. Now that the superiors have something to say, I will leave Master Zhao to your care. Serve carefully! He Gengjin, are you Guilty body, good luck! First, because of the disaster exemption, I heard that the queen’s body is not healthy, and then I want to be amnesty, and this He (and) Lord pointed you to serve the sick, you have reached the sky in one step!" Dian Shi Yin Zhaohui defended He Gengjin to kill Wei Tianpeng in the chant. He guessed that the two must have a relationship, and their tongues were so hot that they sold their favors. He Gengjin was an honest man, but Weiwei promised to bow.Yun girl asked from the side: "What crime did this Lord Zhao (Zhao) commit?" "He was an escaped general from the Jinchuan war." Prisoner Shi licked his lips and said. "However, I heard that the case is very complicated, and it will not be decided until the imperial trial." "What will happen if you are convicted?" "Of course, the canonical punishment must be announced—but if you kill the head tomorrow, such a person will have to live well today." "Ming canonical punishment?" Prisoner Shi smiled, rubbed his hands on his neck, and said, "Crack! - It's just chopping off your head and melon seeds! Little girl, why are you so delicate? Have you taken a fancy to him?" One sentence made Yun girl blush, The Dian Shi went away smiling, shaking his banana fan. He Shen left Shengjiang Alley, and immediately rushed back to the military plane to report to Agui.Agui was not at the military aircraft department, only Fu Heng was talking to Liu Tongxun on errands, and several criminal department chiefs and Yushi were sitting and listening, and several military aircraft department Zhang Jing was busy reading documents in the next room, and he was not there either. Dare to bother.After asking the eunuch waiting outside the door, he learned that Ah Gui had gone to Zhang Tingyu's mansion, and he had just left for less than a bag of cigarettes.Agui is not here, there is no errand for him here, and he is not familiar with anyone, so I stood and thought for a while, and still went out of Xihuamen to Zhang's mansion to look for Agui. This is the second time he has come to Zhang's mansion within three days.It was the first time I came here, the sentry guards in and out of the courtyard were all guarded by the imperial forest army commanding the yamen with the infantry, and there were also a few third-class guards in the palace patrolling with knives, very majestic and majestic.He didn't even go in the second door, blocked it, and only let Ah Gui into the inner courtyard.This time is very different, the army has all withdrawn, leaving only a few notes from the Department of Punishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and guards from the yamen. Although the martial law is still in the courtyard, they do not carry weapons, so there is a lot less violence. gas.A few Goshhas at the door checked the sign, saw that it was someone from the Military Aircraft Department, and let them in without questioning.On the contrary, the yamen servant guarding the second gate of the West Court interrogated He Shen, and knew that it was Agui's entourage. He pointed to the north room of the West Inner Court and said, "Gui Zhongtang and Ji Zhongtang are all talking to Zhang Xiang inside. Your family can go in by yourself." .” He Shen stepped into the courtyard, and saw that the south room in the east wing and the upper room in the north were all locked with copper keys and sealed with yellow paper.The corridor of the north house was full of boxes, and they were all sealed.Only the west chamber was the living room where Zhang Tingyu met foreign officials. The door was open, the screens were set up, and several people were talking inside.Hearing that Ah Gui was there, he didn't dare to disturb him, so he tiptoed to the porch and stood there with his hands down and waited quietly.But I heard Zhang Tingyu's old and turbid voice said: "I have reflected a lot these days. After all, I think that since the emperor said so, he still misses me, an old slave. Sigh... I am old, I can't think about things, and I can't help my master. For my reputation behind me, I made a mess in front of me instead! However, I beg you two to pay respects to God on my behalf, and show Chen Yu’s example, Tingyu has absolutely no intention of relying on merit—in fact, there is no credit at all. ——Don’t even dare to rely on the old to sell the old. Even if I am punished now, I don’t think it’s enough to cover my guilt. I also ask the Holy One to see the candle light and punish me severely, as a warning for my ministers.” "Old man, let's skip these words." Agui glanced at He Shen's shadow outside the window, and said with a smile: "Even if you just asked to return to Tongcheng for the elderly, I don't think you need to mention it. The emperor treats you very well. No, it’s obviously hypocritical to say these things. I remember that when you were young, you believed in ‘everything is worse than silence’, students thought it was still advisable.” He Shen listened to it outside and thought to himself, everyone said that Agui was versatile in both civil and military affairs, and his mind was quick, so he really deserved his name.As far as these words are concerned, none of them are actually dismissing Zhang Tingyu, warning him about his insincere words, and they are coercive, but there is no trace of the needle hidden in the cotton, and there is a caring and tender feeling, without losing the status of a royal minister... Can't help secretly praise: this is true knowledge, true insight! He Shen was listening to his emotions, Ji Yun coughed lightly and spoke, but his tone was not as gentle as Ah Gui's, and his solemnity revealed sincerity and seriousness: "Old Minister Hengchen, I am a junior who is a new student, and I was educated when I was young. , my parents and teachers all took you as a model scholar to teach us. It is true that the mountains stand tall and the scenery stops, and what happened today is really unexpected. Could you listen to some advice from the students?" "I don't dare to be that old man." Zhang Tingyu's wrinkled walnut-like face remained motionless, and he said coldly, "I'm a person who treats crimes, so don't mention the past. Han Tuizhi said, 'My teacher's way, I don't know what happened first. For me?'——May I hear the teachings of Mr. Ji Yun." Ji Yun leaned back on the chair and said, "Thank you so much! What Master Agui said just now is true. Everyone in the world knows that the old man is hardworking and the king has never slackened his life. I have also checked your family property. Except for the products of Yucitian, as the prime minister, you are not luxurious and wealthy at all, so you are a gentleman. In the eyes of the students, the old man has committed the disease of careless greed after living as a consultant. , Sometimes I think about my own affairs, and I think less about the things for the emperor and the country. The ancients said, 'You get old when you are old', that is really a famous saying through the ages. Do you think about it?" The words were so straightforward and merciless that even Ah Gui couldn't help but change color, and moved his body uneasily.Zhang Tingyu has been prime minister for more than forty years, not to mention young students like Ji Yun, the new ministers, even the old princes of the Kangxi dynasty have always been solemn and respectful guests, and their words are condescending as if they were teachers. The word "greedy" is already uncomfortable for the boss, and I just feel more and more mad about the words that follow, and I have no time to think about it.But after all, his heart is as strict as a city mansion, so he listened quietly to Ji Yun's words, and said with a dry smile: "If you talk about reasoning, I have admired you for a long time. I can't, and I dare not refute you." Jiede' I don't even know, the Holy Lord who can serve these three generations of talents? You are a person who has read the three tombs, five classics, eight Suo and Jiuqiu, and now you are compiling the Siku Quanshu, which is stored in the golden plaque of the emperor's history There is an article of mine that talks about 'abstinence'. You are a busy person, so I am afraid you may not have time to read it." "How dare the students not read the old minister's articles!" Ji Yun recalled with a slight tilt.He could already tell that this Zhang Tingyu refused to accept Qianlong's punishment at all, and if he insisted on it, the future disaster would be even more unpredictable.Yin smiled and said: "It seems to be the article "On the Three Olds and the Five Gengs". I also read the "Chengdejuji" written by the old minister at the Chengde Mountain Resort. The student Yu Lang pretends to ask, these two articles The article should also be read and reviewed by the elders, or better—of course, the students should also read it again. Even if the government is in power, reading it will be of great benefit.” According to "three elders and five more" from "Li Wen Wang Shizi", it means that the upright, firm, and soft veterans (three elders) should know five things, that is, "appearance, speech, seeing, listening, and thinking". When a senior minister of virtue becomes an official, the emperor should "raise him with his father and brother" as a model of filial piety in the world.Tang Bin, a famous official in the Kangxi Dynasty, retired from his official position. The holy ancestor quoted this ancient ritual and said that Tang Bin enjoyed such a privilege. "This article is inspired by the ancestors, who thinks that the times change and the situation is different, and the "ritual" method should also be adapted. He believes that "in today's world, no one can be this ritual."Because of this, Tang Bin was honored and favored throughout his life, and the name "Wen Zheng" was the crown of all titles after his death.But it happened so long ago that Zhang Tingyu himself had forgotten the purpose of the article, and only remembered the original meaning of "three old and five more".When Ji Yun mentioned it, he immediately realized that moving a stone had hit him in the foot, and he immediately became uneasy, and said falteringly: "As a minister, it is natural that you should resign. As a monarch, there is another reason. Hmm...how dare I take this as an excuse?" I’m so self-confessed! I’m thinking of the late emperor... Don’t talk about this, in short, I made mistakes again and again, and failed the great kindness of the sage. Thunder, rain and dew, let the lord use it. I’m guilty.” "Old man, don't be uneasy." Although Ah Gui didn't fully understand their conversation, she could also see Zhang Tingyu's embarrassed expression, and she couldn't help laughing inwardly, but her face was full of respect, and said: "We are not following orders. It's the students visiting the teacher, talking in private—" Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of boots outside the courtyard, and looked through the door, but it was Qianlong's only younger brother and Prince Hong Zhou who came into the courtyard.The three hurriedly got up to greet each other, and He Shen had already kowtowed to the ground.The eunuchs guarding the courtyard also knelt down and said in unison: "Greetings to the prince!" At the age of thirty-four to five-year-old Hongzhou, he is a little thinner, but he looks very good, and his feet are brisk when he walks. The god advocates the funeral banquet, and the general white paper curtain seals the door. The "dead man" sits alone in the coffin shed, listening to the false howls of his family members, and chewing on the case as if no one is around.He was the famous "ridiculous prince" in Qianlong Dynasty.There were ten Qianlong brothers, and only this younger brother grew up. He was very affectionate, and he was only entrusted to him for the simple and easy tasks of passing orders, and never asked him for important military and economic affairs.Occasionally, if he made a mistake, he would only have a private conversation with his brother, and never openly hurt his face.It was just that Hong Zhou was unruly in small matters, and he was not at all confused about larger matters, so absurdity was absurd. The censors only discussed it in private, but they couldn't find any major faults. No one dared to come to Qianlong to chatter. It was the first time for He Shen to see such a high-ranking person, and he wondered how to be dignified, respectful and dignified.Stealing a peek, he saw Hong Zhou's shaved head was bright and shiny, a braid was coiled twice around his neck, a coarse cotton indigo blouse didn't cover his knees, but he was wearing sky blue nylon silk trousers, the trousers were rolled up high, The bare feet were washed white, and they stepped on straw sandals with exposed heads, and they tapped and tapped as they walked.If you look closely, there are two big iron fingers on each of the two big toes!He Shen couldn't help but lowered his head and snickered.But Hongzhou saw it at a glance, fanned his straw hat in his hand, and scolded with a smile: "Damn you, you dare not make a sound if you want to laugh!" Zhang Tingyu knelt down to pay his respects, and said, "The criminal Zhang Tingyu asks the prince well!" "Okay, okay!" Hong Zhou grinned, and took Zhang Tingyu in his arms, "You haven't been dismissed! The emperor is still a "Hengchen"—Ah Gui, get up too. Ji Xiaolan, what are you laughing at? What do you owe? Have you written my handwriting?" Ji Yun got up and gave a thousand blows again, and said with a smile: "I'm just laughing at the prince's outfit, which doesn't look like a fisherman, a woodcutter, a farmer, and a reader. These people who are familiar with you are also very familiar. They are neither eunuchs nor family members-this is Kuiguan, this This is Bao Guaner, this is Qi Guan...the maids in the opera troupe have disguised themselves as men. Also, what are you wearing two fingernails on your feet for?" "Please, please, It's hot outside, let's talk inside." Hong Zhou laughed, and kept talking as he entered the room: "I'm here to visit, but I don't deliver the decree. Why are you pretending to be a prince in this hot weather? These little girls, they In my garden, the gate is not open, the second gate is not open, it is boring, and I want to take a walk on the street with me-I say you should dress up! Look, it’s really good! The entourage doesn’t have the charm, and the eunuch doesn’t have the voice. Hey, Yingtiaoyan, talk to me, be more energetic! Wearing a finger on your feet is a prescription prescribed by a great doctor. These days, my heart is so hot that I tied my big toe with a thread. I don’t think it’s right to use a finger. Better? Just put it on..." One said, and the other sat down, Zhang's servant had brought a cup of tea earlier, Hong Zhou only took a sip, frowned and said: "The water is not good, it's not from Yuquan Mountain, and the tea leaves are also stale ——Human, isn’t that the thing, comfort is the most important——right, Zhang Xiang?” He suddenly asked Zhang Tingyu. He was joking and joking for a while, and the originally solemn and boring atmosphere was instantly swept away.Zhang Tingyu's mood also relaxed a lot, sighed, and said with a self-conscious smile: "The prince really knows how to joke. Who will give me jade spring water when I am in this situation? What about new tea and old tea? I was talking to you two just now. Officer, I am determined to resign, and I want to go back to my hometown in Tongcheng, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, where I ask fishermen, woodcutters, farming and studying. It is my blessing that the emperor can grant it." He paused, and then said: "The original governor of Henan, Wang Shijun Don't you know? When he was in office, he lived in eight seats, and he lived in the hall. He had the most official airs. Last year, Qian Du went to Guizhou to pay a detour to visit him. Now he is really an old woodcutter. He is seventy years old. With an ax stuck in his pocket and a shoulder pole on his shoulders, his face is dark and his hands are callused. When asked about being an official, he can’t remember anything about it... He raised his body, changed his mind, the situation changed, but the person remained the same No way, if you come to Tongcheng in a few years, I might be a fisherman!" After saying that, he smiled. "You don't want to go anywhere, the emperor hates you, and I'm too idle, I want to have a playmate!" Hongzhou listened carefully, and after listening, he smiled again, "All right and wrong start from the heart, this is still What did you teach me in the early years—you and I are not free people, if you want to be comfortable, you must first be comfortable with the emperor’s will, right?—Don’t always be so depressed and upset. Even if Beijing is Tongcheng, you My woodcutter, Dalang Temple, Xishan, Xihaizi, Yuanmingyuan... Let's go for a walk, and while we can walk, we may go to Tanzhe Temple to live for a few days and play chess with the old monk. I am the prince, and you are still your forty years of Taiping Prime Minister. How comfortable and fun—it says in it that 'good, bad, miserly, and stingy are all born with movement', isn't that what you often say?——If we don't move, it's all a blessing!" After speaking, he laughed loudly, and then He told the maid who followed, "Huaguan, call the eunuch who is in charge here to come in!" On the outside, Hong Zhou is unrestrained, but on the inside he is smart and shrewd. Zhang Tingyu knows it well.It was the first time for Ji Yun and Agui to experience the teaching, but they were secretly surprised in their hearts.Ah Gui glanced at the eunuch who came in with the flower official, and said with a smile: "Everyone says you are a handsome prince, you are really chic and unconventional!" "You still want to flatter when you become a minister of military aircraft? It's obviously 'ridiculous', flattery!" Hong Zhou's smile did not change, and he turned to Ji Yun: "I asked you to find me a complete copy, did you get it? You don't care. You can’t even manage the matter of collecting books from all over the world?” Zhang Tingyu said beside him, “Ruocheng has 30 manuscripts. I heard that Fu Liuye and Prince Qi’s residence have the complete copies. It’s not easy for the prince to read. ?" Hong Zhou shook his head like a rattle, and said, "Not all, not all! I want to read the whole book. Lao Ji, get it for me." But Ji Yun felt bored when he heard it.But Hong Zhou said that this is the third time, how can he know that there is no bigger story behind it?He became alert, because he tentatively said: "It's not classics, it's not history, it's not collections. I've admired it for a long time, but I've never read it, but it's just like "Liao Zhai", it's just a pen for people to laugh at and make people bored. It’s a serious sentence from the time of warning the world. The prince wants to see it, and the students pay attention to the investigation. There is no complete set on the market. I heard that Cao Xueqin’s widow is still in Beijing, so I will try to check it.” Hong Zhou nodded, but asked The eunuch who came in: "Are you the head here? What's your name?" "Yes!" The eunuch hurriedly kowtowed and replied, "The servant's name is Gao Fengwu!" Hongzhou shook his head imperceptibly, and said: "Baoding people? Your parents are really capable, giving you such an elegant name, do you deserve it?" Mom said, when the servant fell into the grass, the servant's father had a dream, a phoenix fell on my plane tree, so he named it..." Ji Yun laughed and said: "Thank you! Your father will dream of chickens on the fence Shangfei, you should be called Gao Jiji (Ba)!" Everyone couldn't help laughing, Hong Zhou said: "I'll ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to change your name later. Eunuch, don't call it so nice,——I have a few things to tell you, and you have to do it right away." "yes!" "All the rooms here are unsealed, and all the documents, files, and official documents are transferred to Huang Shizhen." "tie!" "People from the House of Internal Affairs and people from the Shuntian Mansion all withdraw from the compound of the Zhang Mansion. They are not allowed to enter the compound to harass, and they are not allowed to make trouble for officials who came to visit Zhang. , and return it to its original place.” This actually lifted all the prohibitions of the Zhang Mansion: this is not allowed, and that is not allowed. What are those eunuchs and servants doing to make a living at the gate?Gao Fengwu couldn't help muttering, agreed "yes", and asked boldly: "Then the mission of the servants is..." "It's your mother's egg!" Hong Zhou laughed and said, "Look at what the Prime Minister's Mansion has turned into? Cleaning up is enough for you to be busy for a while-oh, by the way, Zhang Xiang has two cars of Yuquan water every day. It will be provided as usual, and this errand will belong to you temporarily. As for the future, there will naturally be a will, and this is not something you should worry about." "tie!" "get out!" "tie!" Hong Zhou stood up and bid farewell to Zhang Tingyu.Earnestly enjoined a lot of words such as "respect for the honor", "greeting to the emperor at all times", "obedience to the order", "peace and tranquility".Before he finished speaking, Wang Sha, the eunuch of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, came in and asked with a smile, "Wang Baxie, what's the matter with you? Does the master have any intentions?" Wang Shu smiled at Hongzhou and said, "Go, the emperor." After arriving at Yue Zhonglin's mansion, I asked my servant to tell Ah Gui Zhongtang to go there. After running through the six departments, I realized that Zhang Xiang was here. Please Gui Zhongtang to go there quickly." "Yes!" Ah Gui hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm going right away!" Hong Zhou said, "Ride my horse—quickly. You're going back to Xihua Gate to sit in a sedan chair. How long have you been tossing around?" Ah Gui agreed, saluted Zhang Tingyu slightly and hurried away.Zhang Tingyu said with emotion: "I entered Nanshufang at his age...it's time for the next generation to contribute..." Hong Zhou just smiled, but said to Ji Yun: "I'll send you two Jinhua hams, and send me the writing soon. I heard that you want to invite Ma Erkuzi and the others to drink, don't forget me! As for you That one is biased. Everyone has different likes and dislikes. I think you can be of the same age as you. Don’t be suspicious. Haven’t you heard people say, ‘Scholars don’t read, and it’s useless to read all the poems and books’? Some people say it’s absurd The prince loves to be arty. I said, arty is better than philistine, right?" The three of them chatted at the door of the house for a while, and then they dispersed without mentioning it.
