Chapter 2 The second round of stammering, Yi Cheng, said that the love was unlucky, and the prince deported back to Beijing.

Yinti was startled, turned his head to look at the woman, and shouted out: "Where are my guards?" Yinti's two guards were standing guard at the door, and when they heard the greeting, they rushed in and stood with their arms crossed.Yinti frowned and said, "Can you get some hot water?" Qian Yundou said with a smile, "Master Fourteen, she is in a coma and delirium, not really thirsty. The villain is proficient in medicine, and I pour a bowl of ready-made venison soup. Make up for Yuanshen, just dare to be afraid." Seeing that Yinzhen was speechless, Cai Huaixi hurried over to help the girl on her back, while Qian Yundou fed a large bowl of hot and fragrant broth with a silver spoon.Yinti didn't pay any attention to it, he just paced back and forth full of thoughts, sometimes bowing his head in deep thought, sometimes staring at the outside of the courtyard longingly, no one knew what he was thinking.

"God..." The woman who escaped from death finally woke up, Qu Qing's face was blushing, and a pair of watery almond eyes slowly moved away, sweeping across the faces of strange men, Na Na said, "Am I in the underworld, or alive? Are you human or..." Yinti watched her silently, her appearance and facial features were still upright and delicate, but her face was unkempt, her feet were bleeding from the cold, and her childish eyes were full of doubt and fear.After a long time, Yinqifang smiled faintly: "We are not ghosts, but compared with ghosts, humans are still more terrifying, so it is no wonder that you are panicked. You have come back after going to the gate of ghosts. What is your name? Why are you frozen alone?" Fell in this lonely temple?"

"I'm from Dai County," the girl shyly tucked her feet into the saddle in front of so many men with her bare feet. When I got down to the official bank, my family had to pay seven and a half dollars... It's a pity that there was no harvest last autumn. Where did I get so much money? There are only my parents and a younger brother who is less than six years old at home. God should not The land is not working. A barbarian came to the village, who spoke Suzhou dialect, and said that he would buy twenty girls to go to Suzhou to weave tributes and embroider for the emperor. For travel expenses, I want to keep six taels of silver a year. In order to pay off the debt and to survive the family, my parents sold me..."

She cried and said, Yinti frowned and pondered, he knew the annual tribute that Suzhou gave to the imperial court, and it was all in charge of Suzhou Weaving Li Xu, but there was no example of going to the north to buy people.Li Xu is a person who is so cautious that he would dodge when the leaves fall, how dare he buy and sell people privately?Thinking about it, she asked, "Since it's mutual consent, why did you come back?" Yindi whimpered, "Where does the Lord know? He's a human trafficker! He sold me to Chunxiang Pavilion when he arrived in Suzhou. I don't think the master taught needlework. He sings songs, plays the piano, and teaches chess and painting every day. I feel suspicious, so I ask my teacher's mother, and my mother said that this is also a learning ability. But a big sister in Chunxiangyuan was kind enough to tell me the details—Man At the age of fifteen, we were asked to pick up guests—Master, I am the daughter of a good family, how can I do this? I escaped while they were unguarded, and I didn’t even dare to go the proper way. I came back from begging in Anhui, Shandong, and Hebei. When I arrived at Niangziguan, it was snowing heavily again, and I wanted to go to the temple to escape. I didn’t know that because of the disaster here, the abbot in the temple ran away hungry, and I fell down from the cold..."

"Your story is so upside down that it makes people cry." Yinti said with a sneer, "I saved your life, but you still follow me? Last year there was a drought in Shanxi, and the autumn grain was confiscated. It is true. Long live Kangxi once issued a decree to exempt Shanxi and Gansu from money and grain for the whole year. He also sent imperial envoys to help the victims with Shanxi governor Nuo Min. How could there be a reminder? To be honest, whose family are you running away from? Slave? I will take care of you and keep you safe. Since I save people, I will save them to the end." Yindi opened her big eyes and looked at Yinqi for a moment, then sighed and said, "I can't do anything if you don't believe me. I also don't understand this matter, anyway, I heard that it is Mr. Nuo and the master of our house and the county magistrate... It seems that they owe some money to some treasury. Not only did the relief money not see a penny, but we people have to make up for the money owed—— —The people in the whole province are all the same, how could I deceive you, sir? Just ask a villager and you will know..."

Before she finished speaking, Yinti's heart was clear, Yindi did not tell lies, this is exactly the sin of today's current emperor and former Prince Yong!Since the forty-sixth year of Kangxi, when Yinzhen was in charge of the household department, he cleared up the officials' outstanding debts to the treasury, and many officials were forced to hang themselves in a well. This Nuomin found a different way. The court forced him to pay back the debts, and he asked the people to pay them back!Yinfeng looked at the bonfire and muttered "bad guy"!Turning to ask Qian Yundou, "This Nuomin was born in Niulu under Zhenghuang, and seems to be a disciple of Lama Temple?" Qian Yundou didn't want to make trouble at all, he just wanted to send this prince who couldn't be offended to Beijing to finish the job , muttered for a while, but did not answer.Cai Huaixi said beside him: "It's not Long Qianshi's disciple, he's the Dutong inlaid with a white flag, and he was originally a brother of the Nianzhitai."

"A raccoon dog!" Yinti gritted his teeth and smiled, "Aren't you afraid of stirring up civil uprisings with the gauze hat on like this? The upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked, I think—" He suddenly realized his situation, and he was named "The Great General King" , is actually a tiger in a cage, and it's not my turn to take care of such trivial matters, and I don't know the current situation in Beijing, so it's hard to say whether my future will be good or bad.Thinking about it, Yinti sighed, forced a smile and said: "Yindi, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings. Are you willing to follow me to Beijing and serve me, or are you willing to go back?"

Tears welled up in Yindi's eyes, she thought that all these people were armed with swords, either thieves or swordsmen, but now she came to her senses and realized that Yinti is not a bad person, but she is not like an ordinary person either.Thinking about it, he wiped his tears with his sleeve and said: "I... have parents and younger brothers at home. My father is old, my mother is sick, and my younger brother is still young. Someone needs to take care of me..." Yinti laughed and said, "It's hard for you to still have this The filial piety is better than our brothers! In this case, I will help you to order money tomorrow, and go back to Dai County." After that, he ordered the guards, "It is inconvenient for her to rest here. I think there is a side room in the east wing. Take her Go to that house, there is some ready-made food to send over."

The guards took Yindi out.Yinqi took out his pocket watch to see that it was already the hour of the day, and it was snowing heavily outside, looking at the two pens, sitting upright and looking at him respectfully, he couldn't drive them away, but he had nothing to say to talk about.Hearing the whistling sound of the bleak wind blowing over the mountains, Yinti felt even more melancholy.He took off his saber, leaned on the saddle, took a few mouthfuls of the deer tendon in the hanging pot, and ate a large bowl of rice wine. He felt drunk, meditated beside the warm fire, and gradually closed his eyes. eyeballed.

"Master Fourteen, Lord Fourteen!" Yinti, who was drowsily asleep, opened his eyes at once, only to see Qian Yundou calling him softly. He shook the cloak covering his body and sat up straight, asking, "What's the matter? You're yelling." !" "The Jingjing Station sent someone to pick you up!" "Well, remember what I said last night?" "..." "Call them in at the head!" "tie!" Like a snowman, Jingjing Yicheng entered the mountain temple with white breath, stomped his feet lightly under the eaves, took off his big hat and shook, wiped his snow-stained face, and stammered the report: "Jingjing Jingjing, Yiyi... Yicheng Meng Mengmeng..." The melancholy Yinti was teased by him with a "puchi" smile, and said: "Don't make it difficult, it's Meng Yicheng—come in." The postman was short and fat, rolled in like a ball, hit a thousand sons on the spot, and said: "Nu Nu...Nu Zai Meng...Xianyou please please...Please be safe!" I don't know if it was hot in the room, It was the first time that this eight-rank postman saw such a high-status Tianhuang nobleman, Meng Xianyou was sweating on his head, and gesticulated with both hands for a long time, but Yinti couldn't understand what he was saying.I wanted to ask, how did Emperor Yongzheng "pay attention" to his entry into Beijing, but he couldn't help being annoyed and funny when facing this piece of material: "Forget it. Be careful and tired you! You speak Jinbei dialect, and you are stuttering." In this way, I can't understand anything! How much money did you spend to donate this official? Could it be that your boss replied like this?"

"Go back... my lord," Meng Xianyou kowtowed, "I... I'm an upright... serious Jinshi... just because of this fluffy...fault, so I became an eighth-rank and high-rank official !Day by day... It's been a long time, and I don't... don't care about it anymore. Wang Wang, you call me... I sing about love, so I won't stammer... stutter..." Yinti looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and said: "Okay, it's interesting, you sing! Who told you to pick me up?" Meng Xianyou blushed and kowtowed, and he really sang Daoqing with his neck stuck, but his words were correct, a little No stuttering either.The guards of the two verandahs followed the unlucky prince. They had been on a lonely journey for many days. When they saw someone in the main hall singing love songs, they couldn't help but join in to listen to the excitement, but they heard Meng Xianyou sing: Chitose, please listen carefully. The servant sings love for you. Don't dare to make a mistake to pick up the king's car, It's all because of the constitutional order from Baoding mansion. If you receive the fourteenth master, you can return it. If you can't get the fourteenth master, you can't be an eighth-rank official! Although the lyrics are vulgar, they are clear and clear. Yinti did not expect him to sing so fluently, so he suppressed a smile and said, "I just came to Niangziguan. Baoding Mansion has such long ears!" Meng Xianyou bowed his hands and sang slowly: The grievances inside, the slave can't figure it out. Last night an official came to Jingjing, Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, named Tian Wenjing, I was ordered to go to Shaanxi to comfort the military camp, Bring this decree along the way, He ordered the servants to take the warm sedan chair to take the master back to Jingjing. Running forty-five miles on the mountain road made my servant's hair swell——Yeah, brother! Singing here, closing the board, he sang "Ya Zhi Ye Yao Ge" so that everyone in and outside the hall bowed their backs, fell their feet and beat their chests and laughed loudly.Yinti couldn't hold a sip of tea and sprayed it on his sleeve, but he soon understood how tightly he was being controlled.His complexion gradually changed, and he stood up and said coldly: "It's hard for the governor of Zhili and Shanxi provinces. This heavy snow is ten times harder than my walking! Since you brought a warm sedan chair, you are also counted as one." Sincerely, I want to take the sedan chair and leave." After saying that, he got up, Meng Xianyou hurriedly kowtowed and got up to greet the sedan horse, while Yinqi's entourage, Qian Yundou and others hurriedly packed their luggage. "Master Fourteen," a royal guard saw Yinzhen coming out with his buttons tied, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What should I do with that woman? Should I send her back to Dai County, or take her away?" He said and handed over the cloak. come over. "How is her body?" "It's good. It was warm last night and it's here." Yinti pursed his lips and looked at the sky, the snow had not fallen much, and the sparse flakes were swaying and falling slowly with the wind.He murmured, seeing Yindi coming out of the east ear room, he said: "Are you okay?" Yindi was wearing a heavy and thick cotton gown, warmed up all night, and her spirit has fully recovered.Seeing Yinqi and his group packing up their things in a hurry, she first stared through the window stupidly, then heard Yinqi asking herself, then came over in a few steps, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times in the snow. Sobbing and letting out a sound: "Benefactor...you are leaving now? How can I repay you?...We are a poor family, and the benefactor is a noble person. I only hope that the benefactor will be promoted step by step, and the prince will last forever..." Yinti smiled wryly After a while, he touched his bosom, there was no silver in it, but a handful of golden melon seeds - it was Nian Gengyao who gave him a drink to see him off, and won by guessing the ones before the banquet.They took them all out and said, "I can't afford to be grateful. In normal years, I would take you to the capital and help you feed and feed your family, but now it's not possible. Take this money and go back... "After that, his expression was gloomy. Yindi raised her head all of a sudden, looking at Yinti with tears in her eyes in surprise.In an instant, Yinti discovered that she was very handsome: Shaoxiu's face had been washed with snow water, with a pink flush; there were two faint smiles under the corners of her mouth; her black hair was somewhat disheveled, but It was so black that it fluttered in the wind like the wings of a crow; the bottomless black pupils carried childishness, but also alertness and maturity that did not commensurate with their age.Yinti sighed: "In my palace in Beijing, the eight maids around me are inferior to you, so it must be good to take you to serve Fujin. It's a pity... I am in an accident, so I can't take care of these things. You can't walk like this , I advise you to change into men's clothes, and take the main road to return home slowly." After saying that, he wanted to step down. "Grandfather!" "Well?" "I beg you to give me your name, and I will set up a longevity tablet for you when I go back!" Yinti smiled calmly, walked down the steps slowly, and said without turning his head as he walked: "Since ancient times, how can anyone live forever? If I am not short-lived, it is the blessing of heaven! The late emperor was alive, and the officials shouted long live every day. After all, he was only in power for six years. Eleven years. Fortune is impermanent..." I don't know which sentence touched my heart, tears suddenly filled my eyes, and I hurried out of the temple, got into the warm sedan chair with my waist down, kicked my feet and said, "get up the sedan chair!" More than a hundred people surrounded the soft sedan chair covered with apricot-yellow felt, with one foot high and the other foot low, walking eastward on the snow-covered mountain road.Yindi stood at the gate of the temple and stared blankly, watching them until they disappeared in the wind and snow before returning to the temple... The group of people trekked for several days in the wind and snow, and arrived at Luheyi in the suburbs of Beijing. It was already the evening of November 26, and someone from the front flew to Beijing to report.After crossing the Yongding River, I saw Yin Tai, a scholar of the University, Gao Qizhuo, a member of the Ministry of Rites, Arsong'a, Su Nu and others, who were the officials of the Lifan Academy, and others came to pick them up.Yinti took a look and found that Alsun'a was the son of Amai'a, former minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Su Nu was under Prince Baagelian Yinti's sect. When they were in Beijing, they talked about everything. Under the chariot, he didn't dare to say a word, he only ordered to shout, and followed the crowd into the post station.During the national funeral, it is inconvenient to have a large banquet, so Yin Tai only ordered someone to prepare a table of plain banquets to welcome Yinti.You can't ask kabuki to play music for fun, you can't guess boxing games, and you can't shoot riddles. Everyone is very concerned about it.Therefore, after eating a few mouthfuls, seeing Yinzhen put down the chopsticks, they all got up, went to the main room of the post station, and talked again. "Mr. Zhuyun," Yinti took the main seat, glanced at Yin Tai who was opposite, and said, "Where is Huang Ama's Zi Palace? I'm going to guard the spirit tonight!" Yin Tai is a bachelor of the Wenhua Palace, the number one student of the late Minister Xiong Cilu, who is famous for his old-fashioned Taoism.In the last years of Kangxi, because he followed the academician Wang Jianbao to abolish the crown prince, fined his salary and dismissed him from office, he had been idle for many years. People in their 70s had a beard and hair, and they were still in good spirits. The color of respect.He listened to Yinti's question, bowed on the chair, and said, "Emperor Daxing has given a posthumous title of 'Holy Ancestor', please pay attention to the Fourteenth Lord. The Holy Ancestor passed away on the thirteenth day in Changchun Garden On the same day, Yongzheng was enthroned in front of the coffin of the Long Live Lord, and moved to the Qianqing Palace by the Emperor Daxing. I received the order to pick up the General King and rest at the Luhe Post tonight, and I will call the Fourteenth Lord in tomorrow." Facing these people, Yinti suddenly felt a sense of distance and strangeness. He remembered that when he sent out troops and let go of horses with thousands of horses and horses, it was the emperor who sat on the nine-fold king and ruled the world today and sent him here on behalf of the emperor. Not far away, we had a banquet under the green reed shed and left with tears.When I came back today, I have already divided the titles of monarchs and ministers. If the brothers and sisters of the direct relatives say that they are not allowed to enter the city, they have to stay outside the city obediently!It's true that the scenery remains the same, and nothing happens.Not far from here, in the Forbidden City, the old Ama, who was lying quietly in the cold Qianqing Palace, could no longer teach himself how to write with a pen, and could no longer watch himself dance with a sword while drinking wine... Yinti couldn't help crying Cen Cen, but he didn't want to lose his composure in front of someone like Yin Tai, so he quickly wiped it and said, "Yin Tai, since you can't go in, I will naturally obey the order. You are a well-known master of Neo Confucianism, please advise, I should see you first." Emperor Yongzheng, should we pay homage to the Holy Patriarch's spiritual throne first?" "Loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness are the same principles, but they are in order." Yin Tai calmly said, "Loyalty is in the position of guarding the position. Today, the distinction between the monarch and the ministers has been determined. The Holy Son of Heaven is on top. He will have an audience with Long Live today. But Long live is also guarding the spirit day and night in Qianqing Palace, so it's not a bad idea to visit together." Yin Tai was confident and said very firmly.He usually doesn't know elder brother, but he actually has a good impression of Yinti, who is straightforward and heroic.For ordinary people, it is not worth mentioning who to see first and who to see later, but today Yongzheng is mean by nature, and he persuaded Yinti to give the emperor's gift first, and then visit Kangxi's Zigong. Rigid and straight, it makes people feel uncomfortable.Arsunah came here with Yin Tai, seeing Yin Tai treating Yinti like this, he gave Yin Tai a sideways look, cursing in his heart as "the old coffin", but he said in his mouth: "Loyalty and filial piety are one, what Mr. Yin said is very true. Filial piety is the foundation of loyalty, unfilial piety means disloyalty, and a non-filial son cannot be a loyal minister. Since the Long Live Lord is also in the Zi Palace, it is okay to ask for an edict temporarily." Yin Tai knew that he was refuting himself, so he didn't justify himself, with no expression on his face. He turned his face and said to Yinti: "There is one thing, I want to go back to the Fourteenth Master of the Ming Dynasty. After Long Live ascended to the throne, all elder brothers will avoid it. Therefore, all elder brothers' 'Yin' will be changed to 'Yun'. Yin Yun Yin is close, and it is not easy to distinguish verbally, if the Fourteenth Master has something to say, please correct it carefully." This is what the question should mean, and Yinti also heard Yin Tai's kindness, so he couldn't help nodding his head and said: "Thank you for your care, from now on, I will just be called Yunti." "Master Fourteen," Arsunah saw that Yunti was looking straight at him without even looking at him, knowing that he had misunderstood.Before coming to pick up Yunti, He Zhuer, the eunuch of Ba Age Mansion, made a special trip to meet him, and told him to meet Yunti alone, and inform him of the situation in Beijing in detail.Seeing that the chief officer is Yin Tai, an inexplicably bad old man, and the rest of the people are all harboring ulterior motives and are vigilant, where can they ask for opportunities?Arsunha sat beside him and pondered for a long time. It was absolutely impossible to see Yunzhen alone, but he kept silent and pretended to be dumb. The eighth master, the ninth master, and the thirteenth master have all seen each other. All the gentlemen said that they should have come to welcome the wind in person, but they all value their filial piety, so I asked the servant to tell the master to take care of himself." This is like a good news to Yunyu After receiving the letter, Yunyu breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down and said, "My brothers have taken care of you. We are filial to each other, so there is no need to talk about these rituals." Su Nu looked at Yin Tai and Gao Qizhuo, and then Arson A's words said: "It's not all about keeping filial piety. Long live the new emperor, he has to take care of all the affairs, keep the spirit at night, and bring the memorials to the Qianqing Palace for disposal. The third master, the thirteenth master, and the eighth master have all entered the south now. The study, together with Long Kedo and Ma Qi, is in charge of the country's funeral affairs. In order to prevent collusion inside and outside the party, the nine cities have been closed for 14 days." This amounts to yet another message, and one that is even more important.The so-called "treacherous party" and so on, Yunyu is clear in his heart, referring to the "three regrets" of the new emperor Yongzheng's life-the eighth elder brother Yunyu, the ninth elder brother Yunzhen, and the tenth elder brother Yun'e-of course, he is the "internal and external "The "outside".Yunyu couldn't help being nervous for a while, but at the same time he was a little relieved and relaxed: It's very clear, the eighth elder brother has not been overthrown, and Yongzheng's throne is not secure!Dangers and opportunities exist at the same time, and of course things can be done——Yunzhen was agitated by these few words, his heart beat wildly, his eyes flashed suddenly, and he wanted to ask something, but he suppressed it again, and turned to ask Gao Qizhuo: "What's your name? I haven't seen it before!" "Back to the Fourteenth Master," Gao Qizhuo hurriedly bowed his body and smiled apologetically, "I was originally the acting prefect of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, and has been out all the time. I was transferred to the Ministry of Rites a few days ago, so I have no chance to meet the Fourteenth Master." Dry and thin, with piercing black bean eyes and a slightly disfigured face, he is smart and quick to know that he is a character who is full of information and can move at the touch of a button.Yunyu tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "I remembered, you read Fengshui very well. The book "Kanyujiayan" you wrote is very interesting." Suddenly, Gao Qizhuo thought that Gao Qizhuo was Nian Gengyao's former supervisor Li Wei, the General Manager of Food and Drug Administration, hand-picked the person, but kept silent again.But Gao Qizhuo was scratched to the itch by him, and he continued to say: "Fengshui was first mentioned in the Han Dynasty and originated in the Tang Dynasty. Geography corresponds to astronomy, and there are people who are unpredictable. When the late emperor was there, Zeng ordered his ministers to accompany Qin Tianjian. Yuanming went to Fengtian to see the Fuling Mausoleum of the Taizu, and when he came to Zunhua, Yuanming took a fancy to a piece of land: the land started from the dragon's head on the Lying Yanshan Mountain, and the drums were wrapped one by one, and the shape was like a turtle's back. Like a long snake, it stretches straight down to the southeast, and is in contact with Shizu Jingling. He said that this land is good, but I said that this land is the land of generals, not the land of kings. If you don’t believe me, if you dig down, it will definitely There is water. Ask someone to dig it, and it is just as it should be! Even Yuanming was convinced, and asked his ministers to accompany him to look at it from ridge to ridge, and then he chose the Jingling of Emperor Daxing! The ancestral tomb of Grand Master Zhang Tingyu and Xiangye Please let me have a look, and I agree, but I'm afraid it will hinder Young Master Ling, and there will be disadvantages for Younger Brother Ling. Let me just say a word, I have also seen the ancestral tomb of Mr. Yin, Mr. Ling has already passed the examination, if he is not in the current department, he will be in the next one, if he is not in the top three, please goug out my eyes!" He said Chattering, graceful gestures, how to look at the direction of the mountains, detect the atmosphere of the earth, look at the dragon, check the veins of the earth, and spit all over the place, making everyone startled.Alsuna said nonchalantly, "I never expected you to be so well versed in the principles of yin and yang. By nature, you will definitely be able to choose a better mausoleum for today's Wansui." Sometimes a sentence is like a gate, which can block the tide of topics.Originally, it was not a taboo thing for the emperors of all dynasties to choose a mausoleum when they ascended the throne. However, Kangxi’s body was still cold and had not yet been buried. I felt that he had ulterior motives and puns, although I couldn't find fault, I felt a thump in my heart.Gao Qizhuo also consciously lost his composure, blushed, ate his tea with his head down, and never said anything about the earthy "sweet and bitter". "I'm tired too," Yunyu got up and stretched his head, "today, I will rest for the night according to my will. Gao Qizhuo is good at geomancy, so it may not be meaningless to call him in after Wansui. Mr. Qizhuo has free time, Show me a piece of land in the future, not asking for wealth and honor, but asking for the safety of generations to come, please pay attention." After saying that, they gave up their hands, and everyone hurriedly bowed and resigned.
