Chapter 19 The Nineteenth Chapter of Prince Yong’s Mid-Liu Dropping Off the Steering Oar Wu Sidao’s Wisdom and Appreciation of the Emperor’s Heart

As soon as Yinreng came out of the palace, he took a sedan chair and went straight to Yongwang's mansion, thinking about many unsatisfactory things, the more he sat in the sedan chair, the more uncomfortable he was.He had already heard rumors that the crown prince was dethroned, but he did not expect that his close officials would also believe in these rumors and would often startle them.In the 42nd year of Kangxi, Suo'er conspired against him, and it was done behind his back. This matter was adjudicated by Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Lifan Court.So after the matter was over, Kangxi summoned him alone in Qianqing Palace, and after Yinreng made a knee and kowtowed to the secret Chen, the father and son cried loudly with their heads in their arms, pledging to God that they would never bear each other.It's ridiculous that outsiders don't know about it, so they have infinite thoughts. Whenever he presides over something, it's not as good as it used to be.He thought of these brothers bitterly in his heart: the eldest is the nephew of the treacherous Pearl, frivolous and impetuous;I only know how to concentrate on business, but I have no ambitions; the fifth is so honest that he can't speak well; the sixth does not care about anything except playing chess and birds; the seventh dies early; The nine elders, the ten elders, and the fourteen are connected up and down, which seems to be ambitious, but he has never done business alone, how can he have the talent to control the overall situation?The rest of the little brothers are either black-browed or young-spirited... Who can take on the heavy responsibility of the crown prince if they abolish themselves?Thinking wildly all the way, I have passed Beiding'anmen and arrived at Yongjun Prince's Mansion.As soon as Yinreng got off the sedan chair, he saw another large sedan chair with a golden roof and green cloth coming down in front of the door from the west. When he glanced at it, it was the third elder brother Yinzhi who came out with a bow, and said with a smile: "So it's the third child." I thought about asking my fourth son to go to Songhe Shanfang to see what rare edition books you bought, and I didn’t want you to come too.”

"It's the crown prince!" Yin Zhi was startled, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and said with a smile, "I was thinking about asking my fourth son to go in to greet him! I already thought of one place." Facing the wind Yushu, she is very chic and quiet, and she speaks eloquently, appearing calm and steady, the two were chatting and laughing, Gao Fuer came out early, kowtowed to greet her with a smile, and said with a smile: "It is said that there are guests at the door, so I don't think it is the crown prince and the third prince! I'll go in and ask Fourth Master to welcome me!"

Yin Zhi smiled and waved his hands, "I'm a frequent visitor, so I don't need this trick. I'll show the prince the way—your master is in the study in the East Courtyard?" The two masters are playing chess!" As he said that, he hurriedly called the long followers to receive the two followers and waited for tea in the east chamber of Yimen. It was the first time for Yinreng to visit Prince Yong's Mansion. He walked in along the cobblestone corridor behind Yinzhi. Inside, the main room was carved into the sky, and the cornices were very spectacular, but the interior was not luxurious. The bottle, furnace, pillow, screen, and curtain are in perfect order and spotless. Yinfeng secretly arranges them in his heart. People say that the fourth child is the most concerned about appearance, and he is really tidy. Seeing that Yinzhen and Yinxiang are concentrating on playing chess, he gestures to Yinzhi. Don't talk, just stand on the sidelines and watch the battle.This game of chess has reached the middle game, Yinxiang is the famous chess king in Agoli, but Yinzhen has a hand of shit chess, which has made the third son's chess lose. Yinzhen grasped the chess piece in one hand and muttered, laughing: "Old man Thirteen, it seems that you won't let me go even a single step..." Yinxiang also smiled and said, "let's give in to what should be given in, and give in to what shouldn't be given in, just look down on people." As he spoke, he looked up and saw Yin Xiang Reng and Yinzhi couldn't help being surprised: "Ah, when did the crown prince and the third elder brother come?" Yinzhen also stood up, and when the situation was messed up, he took his seat and resented Gao Fuer for not coming in to report.

"Being a brother behind closed doors, as long as the rules are good." Yinfeng waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter whether you are loyal or not. The old eight and the old nine are very respectful when they see me, and then they pick and call the old ten." This firecracker battle is really making people angry." Yin Xiang sneered and said, "You probably don't know that there is a big thousand-year-old who is biased at the table. If you see me gaining the upper hand, you will pull me, and if you see him coming to fight, you will fight." Pushing me and being beaten! At night, he ran to my house to be a good person, scolding: "The old nine and ten are really nothing!" What is the reason for today's affairs, what is the brotherhood? Lao Shi originally planned to impeach the tenth brother, I was the one who stopped them, and they were obviously attacking me, but in fact, they were writing an article by the prince, let’s read it before we talk, what’s the matter?" Yinfeng couldn’t help being stunned, and asked with a smile: "My article? It’s ridiculous—you’ve heard of it what happened?"

Yinxiang personally offered two cups of tea to Yinreng and Yinzhi, and said, "You still can't see it? Humiliation of Shi Shilun outside, troubles in the imperial garden inside, a series of chains! Prince, there are already rumors that you said: "How can there be someone who has been the crown prince for forty years in ancient and modern times?" He also said that you were in the army back then, seeing that Wansui was dying of illness, you couldn't help but hide your mouth and laugh! Listen, you are not going to die You?" Yinfeng listened, and pondered for a long time with a blank face, then Fang sneered and said, "This is something to show to the sky. I only ask my heart! If I listen to these gossips, I will take it to my heart, and I will not be scared to death. Angry!" Yinzhi shuddered.His face became a little pale: "The human heart is so sinister, it's really scary!" Yinxiang turned his head and said, "Don't pay attention to these straight girls! I'm not afraid of hitting a cannon, what are you afraid of?"

"It doesn't help to be afraid; if you are not afraid, you have to have a countermeasure." Yinzhen looked at the window pane, his eyes sparkled, and said: "Actually, people hate that I am still above the prince and Yinxiang, and wish I could eat meat and lose skin! We don't avoid it here. When people complain about doing things, some people will stir up troubles, take advantage of the opportunity to plant the party, and wait for the errands to fail, and swarms of bees will come up to kill us. Therefore, the only way is to do the errands well and let them bite them. The way out." Yinxiang clapped his palms and laughed: "Here! That's what he said! These few Mr. Qiu Ba, the admiral and the general who refused to bleed, will fight with them tomorrow. They are not afraid of debtors, but afraid of debt collectors. Hero! I can't believe it, my arms are twisted past my thighs! Hey——!" He slapped his neck, killing a mosquito with mottled feet.Thinking of Kangxi staring at him coldly, Yinreng frowned worriedly, and said: "Old Thirteen, you can't be rash! It's great to force people to death! Look at people's hearts! Last time, Old Shiren humiliated Shilun , Dozens of officials from the ministry were around, but none of them came out to persuade me. Do you really want me to be a single husband?"

Yinxiang became angry when he heard it. Thinking that he is the prince after all, he held back his anger and smiled and said: "We are punishing the thieves of the people, how could we become an independent husband? If this is considered an independent husband, I will recognize it at first. It doesn't matter." Although Yinxiang Suppressing the fire and speaking in a pleasant manner, Yinreng still felt that this bastard was too rude to him, and said coldly: "You don't recognize me. What kind of good reputation is this? He died without a disease!" Unexpectedly, the voice just said Falling, Yinxiang clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "Amitabha! Such a good death is my wish!"

"You!?" Yinreng felt that there were too many things going wrong today. Seeing Yinxiang's self-satisfaction and indifference, chattering like no one else, he couldn't help but stretch his face, his lips trembled for a long time, stood up and said: "You Are you talking to me? Who is it that you dare to act so recklessly?" Yinxiang originally had no intention of joking, but when he saw the prince's face change, he was taken aback for a moment, then got up, stared at the prince's face, and smiled "hee", Said: "It's my fault. I wanted to make a joke, but why did I offend your prestige? That being the case, I will serve you carefully in the future—it will be sooner or later. Today, the old man is serving wine and wants to invite me to go." , Farewell!" Saying this, he clasped his fists together, gave the prince who was stunned there a thousand blows, got up and left.Yin Zhen slapped the table anxiously, and shouted sharply, "Stop!"

Suddenly the room became dead silent, even Gao Fuer and Gouer Kaner, who was waiting on the porch, were stunned.After a long time, Yinfeng let out a long and dejected sigh, sat down slumped, covered his face with his hands and said, "Go...you let him go...it's really difficult to do things..." Yinzhi frowned and said, "Old Thirteen, you It's too rude today. Even we and the eighth and tenth are not like the master!" "What can I compare with Ba Ye?" Yinxiang gasped, "Do you think it's easy for me? When I just went to the Ministry of Households, those officials and old subordinates almost beat me to death! Even counting the front, in the two years in the household department, whoever has slept a full sleep is not a human being!" He said, tears rolling in his eye sockets, and he suppressed them violently, "...I want to What are you talking about? Aren’t you trying to win face? You tell me to take Songjin Pills and Xiaolisan at critical moments, can I take it anymore?”

These words touched the truth, Yinfeng couldn't help but lowered his head, rubbed his brows and just sighed.Yinzhen dragged Yinxiang back, and persuaded: "The prince also has good intentions. He wants to do things well! Are you annoyed?" Yinzhi also said: "The prince's words make sense, everything must be moderate, and you can't overdo it. However, the crown prince needn’t worry. Wansui talked about cleaning up several times, and he appreciated it. Now that Wei Dongting’s General Wei Dongting was killed, Wansui was worried for a while and said otherwise. Having said that, the old thirteen should accept it as soon as he sees it, just Po’er Rolling around, a good life ends well."

His persuasion, the crown prince is justified, Long live is not bad, Yinxiang also did the right thing, all around is clean and bright, Yinzhen smiled when he heard it, and was about to speak, Yinxiang said angrily: "I won't just roll on the slope Son, that's a donkey! Anyway, we can't let go of this matter!" Yinzhen said: "The more I think about it, the general can't get off his horse! This time, if he collapses again, it will be difficult to get back up!" "This matter is not trivial." Yinreng glanced at Yinxiang, feeling very conflicted, "You worked so hard for the court and for me, how can I not know why? At this time, you can't make your subordinates too embarrassed like a philistine forcing usury. You, old thirteen, calm down and you will understand my heart. How about this, you call people together tomorrow, don't say anything, I will see you See Long live, see what is the order. We act according to the order, they will have a lot of resentment, and they can't blame us. If there is a decree of grace and forgiveness, we don't have to be evil people." After hearing this, Yin Zhi couldn't help claiming Good, but Yinxiang Yinzhen remained silent.The four of them said a few more words, but Yin Zhifang did not mention it when he accompanied Yin Reng back home. Only Yinzhen and Yinxiang were left in the room, both frowning and thinking about their own thoughts.I don't know when the wind blew up outside, and the melancholy clouds were very low, covering the courtyard with a gray and gloomy tone, only the iron horse under the eaves, clanking in the wind unwilling to be lonely.After an unknown amount of time, Yinzhen took a heavy breath and said, "You are too irritable, and the crown prince advises you to be cautious, it's not a bad thing!" "He's so cautious! He's petty! A woman's benevolence is like a rabbit's guts!" Yinxiang spat, "Don't look at him all day long next to the emperor, trying to figure out what the emperor wants, for fear of offending the emperor at all. In my opinion, what the emperor is most displeased with is his virtue!" Yinzhen sat up uncomfortably, and was about to speak, but someone behind the screen said leisurely: "Such words! The so-called affairs of the world, the love of the world. It's easy to bow down, but it's difficult to lean up. The prince is not stupid, but he can't understand the wonderful meaning of the three vehicles, which makes people sigh!" Then he heard the crutches beating, and Wu Sidao stepped out calmly, in Yin Zhen stood beside him, with a stern smile on his mouth and green eyes, and said, "I've been listening for a long time. I thought the thirteenth master was just a hero, but this insight is impressive. This is really the fourth master." Blessing!" Yinzhen's eyes jumped suddenly, he lowered his eyelids, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "I'm about to refute his nonsense! Mr. praises him!" Wu Sidao sat down calmly, with two slender and pale fingers interlaced , nodded slightly, and said: "The words of the Thirteenth Lord are irrefutable. The Crown Prince is indeed the case. He spy on the emperor's will trivially, figure out the holy meaning from a few words, and attach himself to the emperor everywhere. He is afraid that there will be a slight mistake. It is himself. I already feel that my position is not stable, but I am afraid or unwilling to admit it. I once said that he is in danger, because the emperor wants a prince, not a slave! How can the emperor look down on such a cowardly and incompetent man? This is the difficulty of looking up to someone. For example, standing on tiptoes to pick up something is easier than bending down to pick it up. If the prince can take the world as his own responsibility and not avoid resentment, he will take the fourth and thirteenth masters on the left and the thirteenth master on the right. Shi Shilun is a capable official, and he likes to rectify and refresh the official system. How can Wan Sui be worried about him? Entering the mountain of juci, the seven sages are all fascinated, if you want to see it clearly and do it neatly, it is not easy!" After saying that, I couldn't help laughing.He spoke eloquently, and Yinxiang was fascinated by what he heard. Seeing Yinzhen sitting cross-legged and rubbing his rosary in silence, a thought suddenly came to him: If the fourth brother becomes the prince, then he should... just thinking about it, Yinzhen He leaned over and asked, "Mr. Yi, what should I do?" "Don't hesitate. The fourth master has thirteen tendons to support this situation. We must make them spit out all the fat and fat of the people!?" Wu Sidao's face was pale and pale, "What is an independent husband! The disabled people use their talents to show off Called Dufu! The fourth master and the thirteenth master work hard day and night to deal with the king's affairs, and those who are punished are the thieves of the people. Why do you talk about Dufu? I also have a slogan: Such a person who is pointed at by thousands of people and watched by thousands of eyes is the aura of sages!" Yinxiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he clapped and said, "Sir, you can see through the seven books! It makes people's eyes clear!" Yinzhen asked abruptly: "What if the prince is offended? Maybe the emperor really has forgiveness What about the decree?" "What is there to be afraid of like the prince?" Wu Sidao's voice was as dry as swallowing a piece of charcoal, "As for the emperor, if there is a decree, why would he ask for leave on behalf of the two generals Wu and Mu? Long live to comfort people's hearts, or slightly blame, fourth master, even so, planting such a melon seed in the emperor's heart, you will gain more than you lose!" "The crown prince is going to ascend the throne!" Yinzhen's eyes flickered like ghost fire, and then dimmed again, "The aftermath...is so difficult!" Wu Sidao pondered, and carefully said: "It won't do him any harm if you do this, how could he be jealous? How dare he offend you if he can't move an inch away from you two? If there really is a day, he will still rely on you to deal with it." Where is the eighth master!" "That's it, the more you listen to the words, the better!" Yinxiang slapped his thigh and stood up, "Gou'er, Kan'er, go, follow me back to the Ministry of Households!" Yinfeng left Prince Yong's mansion full of thoughts, went to Yinzhi's mansion to pick up books for a while, and when he returned to the palace, Wang Zhen and others had already returned their value.Sitting alone in the empty hall, listening to the howls and whimpers of the autumn wind piercing the eaves outside, the more I think about it, the more I feel that my mind is full of emotions, and I can't explain it. It's just a trance.At that moment, He Zhu'er came in with a stack of papers, stopped quickly and said, "Prince, are you back?" "Ok." "The servant just came back from the upper study." "Ok." "He Mengfu from the imperial hospital came here. The medicine the crown prince asked for has been prepared. Following the crown prince's order, I added a flavor of snow lotus." "Pills and powder?" "pill." He Zhu'er said at the same time, took out a small bag from the big gold lacquer cabinet and held it to Yinfeng.When Yinreng opened it to look, it was a pea-sized particle, made from beeswax. After a sniff, he found a strange fragrance, so he put it into his bosom.This is an ancient prescription he copied from Yinzhi's study "Yongle Dadian", a treasure that nourishes yin, strengthens yang, and eliminates old and young. It is said to be a pill taken by the Yellow Emperor's royal daughter.But once this kind of thing is discovered by the emperor, it will be a big deal.Even if Wang Jie knew it, he didn't know how much trouble it caused.To prevent the eunuchs from doing tricks, he always carried it with him.While picking up the medicine, he asked, "Have you gone to the study room? Have they planned these scriptures?" "The slaves were still there when they came back." He Zhu'er smiled, "They are busy preparing a posthumous title for Wei Dongting, and there is also Wei Dongting's legacy approved by the emperor. Please look at it, the crown prince." Yinfeng shuddered, sat up straight, took the manuscript above and read it.As a result, the first article in the abbreviation reads impressively: Wei Dongting, the second-class duke and governor of the customs in the four provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, Yunnan, and Zhejiang, passed away on the 14th of August at Haishi.Attached Leaflet—I flicked through it a few times, and sure enough there is a handwritten note by Wei Dongting.When I looked closely, I saw how the condition mentioned above was so kind. The emperor traveled thousands of miles and repeatedly gave me good medicine and prescribed prescriptions. It is extremely difficult to repay the kindness and nostalgia.Looking at it, a few lines of writing broke into my eyes: ... The slaves treat the body of a sinner, and their hearts are bowed down. This body is used as a soil to cover the mausoleum, and the debt owed to the state has not been returned.Such an innocent person, I don't know where to enter hell!Wandering around the night stage, staring at the palace in a daze, tears and blood have dried up, and the heartache is silent.I only hope that life after life will follow the emperor's left and right, and maybe I can repay my kindness in case of emergency.The heart that knots the grass and holds the ring, but the Lord forgives it... These few lines of characters are marked by Kangxi's fingernails, which are very eye-catching, and there are spots on the side, I don't know if it is Kangxi's or Wei Dongting's tears, and there is a vermilion mark on the corner of the paper. "Then Wei Tianyou, the son of Wei Dongting, will succeed the first-class earl, and he will still be in charge of customs affairs, and make up for the deficit year by year." There is also a small seal with Kangxi's nickname "Master Tiyuan". Yinreng took a deep breath, felt a little peace in his heart, felt that he had understood Kangxi's "sacred will", returned to the palace without summoning concubines, and fell down in his clothes, looking at the algae well on the top of the hall with piercing eyes, just Can't sleep well.For a while, he dreamed of his mother Hesheli, whom he had never met before. He glanced at him lightly and drifted away; Seeing Yinxiang grinning and grimacing, he suddenly thought, if Suo'etu really mobilized troops to support himself as emperor that day, what would it be like now? ... Cranky, nightmare and upside-down, until the fourth watch, Yinfeng fell asleep in a daze. Unexpectedly, this sleep was overslept.At the beginning of the morning, Pai Yinfeng woke up suddenly, complaining that He Zhu'er didn't wake up, hurriedly wiped his teeth with green salt, used two pieces of snacks indiscriminately, and rushed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation without even using a sedan chair. It seemed that there was a torrential rain at night, and the sky was still drifting like hail and falling in a pattering pattern, and there were continuous cloudy bubbles on the puddles of shallow puddles of water on the Linqing bricks spread all over the floor of the Forbidden City.Yinreng was wearing an oil coat, with a pair of Baoding wooden shoes on his feet, followed closely by dozens of eunuchs from Su La, passing through the entrance of Yongxiang, and saw De Lengtai, the guard of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and eunuch Xing Nian coming over, Yinreng hurriedly asked: "Is the emperor in the Hall of Mental Cultivation?" "Not here." Xing Nian invited An with a smile, and replied: "Early this morning, when the emperor got up, he asked Mu Junmen and Wu Junmen to hand in the signboard, and together with Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi, and Tong Guowei, the three halls changed. He went out in plain clothes. Before he left, he said that the prince would come to greet him, so he just told him. Please do yourself!" Yinfeng couldn't help being stunned.Thinking about turning around and walking away, one of his toes was on the moss, and he staggered and fell into the puddle, making his body dripping with mud and water.De Lengtai stepped forward, hurriedly helped Yinfeng up, and asked with concern: "Prince, you didn't hurt from the fall? You don't look good, are you sick?" People want to laugh but dare not. Yinreng's face was green and yellow, very ugly, he forced a smile and said: "It doesn't matter. I'm going to the Ministry of Household Affairs, I won't go back to Yuqing Palace, and ask them to prepare a sedan chair—Xing Nian, find me in the Hall of Mental Cultivation Dry the clothes." Then he took off the outer robe and handed it to Xing Nian, "Dry it and send it back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"
