[Yongzheng x Nian Gengyao] overwhelmed the world

The wheel of history rolls forward, but some ruts are destined to leave behind with dust.

The setting sun was dim, Concubine De was lying on the couch, stitch by stitch, embroidering the picture of peony fighting beauty in her hand, a light yellow silk thread was passing through the peony stamen, she turned her wrist lightly, but she heard "ah" , Qiuchan rushed forward.

"Your Majesty, are your hands bound?" Qiuchan took the embroidery and asked with concern.

"Oh, I'm really old. When I was young, how could a piece of embroidery take such a lot of effort." Concubine De leaned on the embroidered cushion behind her and sighed with a smile.

"Your Majesty, your status is not what it used to be. Leave this kind of work to the servants." While tidying up the silk threads left by Concubine De, Qiuchan added a few more pieces to the unfinished peony. Needle.

"I entered the palace in the 12th year of Kangxi, became the concubine in the 18th year, and was the concubine of Jinde in the 20th year. In a blink of an eye, it has been the 51st year of Kangxi." The middle of the concubine's words is a kind of ruthless sigh of time.

"Your Majesty, no matter how you say it, Your Majesty now has fourth elder brother and fourteenth elder brother, and in the future there will be plenty for children and grandchildren to enjoy." Qiuchan finished the embroidery and raised her hand to show Concubine De.

"When the fourth elder brother was born, his status in the palace was low. In addition to the ancestral rules, the prince was not allowed to be raised by his biological mother, so he took him to be raised by Empress Xiaoyiren. Later, the fourth elder brother also refused to recognize me as a mother-in-law. Everywhere, the late Empress Xiaoyiren is called the empress's mother, Qiuchan, tell me, is this my palace's destiny to miss this child?" Concubine De usually talks about the fourteenth elder brother, even Don't mention the fourth elder brother less, but suddenly mentioning it now makes Qiuchan lose her position.

"Your Majesty, the fourth elder brother is not unfilial. He will send you the best bird's nest every year to honor you." Qiuchan thought for a long time how she could say such impeccable words.

"When the gift arrives, but no one arrives, is this considered filial piety?" Concubine De continued to support her forehead and said, "Don't mention him, what about Elder Fourteen, how come you haven't seen Elder Fourteen lately?"

Qiuchan hurriedly said in a low voice: "Brother Fourteen has been going to Brother Eighth's house recently, and I don't know what he is busy with."

Concubine De heard the words from the eighth elder brother, and immediately got up and said: "Why doesn't this child listen to persuasion, the eighth elder brother used to be scolded by the emperor for the position of the crown prince, and at this moment, the two brothers get together every day, Let the emperor think about it!"

"It's not just the fourteenth elder brother, but also the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother occasionally..." Qiuchan stepped forward to support Concubine De, and said again.

"The more they behave like this, the more frightened I am. A large group of them are coming and going in and out of Ba Age's mansion, even us women who have lived in the palace for a long time can hear it, let alone the emperor." Concubine De Pacing back and forth in the Yonghe Palace anxiously, he didn't stop until he saw a painting hanging on the wall in front of him.

"Qiuchan, call Xiaoluzi from the Ministry of Internal Affairs." She closed her eyes and pondered for a long time.

Xiaoluzi trotted all the way to the residence of Tongjia Longkodo, the commander of the infantry, while he was out of the palace to buy goods.This Longkodo was originally the second son of Tong Guowei, the first-class Duke, and the younger brother of Empress Xiaoyiren, and he was also able to speak in front of the emperor.

"Lord Longkoduo, come and be safe." Xiaoluzi took off the bamboo hat on his head as soon as he entered the door, and greeted Longkoduo.

"Grandpa Lu is here, is there something wrong with Concubine De?" When Longkodo saw Xiao Luzi, he immediately ordered tea to be prepared, and finally opened his mouth after the servants retreated.

"Your Majesty is well, it's just that your Majesty does have some things to ask your lord to do." Xiao Luzi held up the tea bowl neither humble nor overbearing, not at all like a slave.

"Grandpa Lu, if you have something to say, you might as well just say it." Longkodo knew that although the person in front of him was an eunuch, he was also the one who controlled his life and death.

"The concubine de concubine said that you are a celebrity in front of the emperor. If something happens to the fourteenth elder brother, you have to say something nice in front of the emperor." Xiao Luzi suddenly stopped his movements and said a word. One sentence.

"This... If it was in the past, even if my mother didn't speak, I, Longkodo, would have done the same. But Eunuch Lu also knew that a few years ago, because of a subordinate's crime, the emperor dismissed my post, and it was not until the 50th year of Kangxi that I was awarded The position of military commander. And Long Live Zhu Pi warned that you must behave properly and diligently, and you must not be nepotism, let alone form cliques for personal gain. At this time, you really have to worry about it." Longkoduo sighed again and again.

"So, Master Longkodo is not willing to help?" Xiao Luzi didn't beat around the bush, and directly grabbed a framed painting from the package he brought.

He untied the strap, and the painting appeared in front of Longkodo with a "swipe".

"Your Excellency used the painting as a proof in the past, saying that the Concubine De concubine wanted you to do anything after she entered the palace. As long as you bring this painting, could it be that you have forgotten, Your Excellency?" Xiaoluzi's tone was harsh, and Long Ke What a cold sweat.

"Grandpa Lu, please keep your voice down. It's true that I gave you this painting. For so many years, she has struggled in the palace, but she has never asked me for anything. Forget it, please trouble Gonggong Lu to go back and report, just say I am Longke Even if you risk your life, you will definitely protect the fourteenth elder brother."

Longkodo closed his eyes, and his already dotted gray temples were like wicks that were gradually burning out, showing a bit of vicissitudes in the residual wind.

Yinzhen got out of the carriage, covered her face and hurried into Babeile Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Yinti and Yinsi were already sitting in the inner hall, besides these two familiar faces, there was also a new face.

"Tenth brother, why are you here?" Yinzhen asked in surprise.

"The incident of Zhang Mingde's face-to-face that day made Huang Ama furious. It was the ninth brother and the fourteenth brother who were running around because of the eighth brother. If things get stuck, I am naturally not as good as you guys. But, as the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, and there will be no more than me." Yin Hanhan smiled.

"We already have three cobblers, and you are the extra one!" Yinsi was also happy to joke with him.

"That's a good thing, aren't we better than Zhuge Liang?"

As soon as the words fell, the brothers immediately roared with laughter, and Yinti laughed so hard that he turned his back on his back, grabbed Yinsi's hand and said: "Our ten elder brothers really lived up to the word Dun granted by Huang Ama. "

Yinsi laughed and said: "The king of Dunjun can tell jokes, and he can do practical things even more. Fourteen, you are not allowed to laugh at him."

Yinti hurriedly said: "I didn't laugh at him, I was happy for us, for the myna, as long as we brothers are of the same mind, there is nothing impossible in this world, myna, right?"

Yinzhen couldn't get in to talk for a long time, so he just sat on the side and sipped tea silently.

But Yinsi suddenly said: "Ninth Brother, I heard that you are proficient in Latin and have a good relationship with those Western missionaries."

Yinzhen nodded, and said: "It's just researching at will when I have nothing to do, just understand a little bit."

Yinsi laughed and said, "Jiudi is being modest, I have to trouble Jiudi to do this matter."

Yinzhen seemed to have guessed what Yinsi wanted him to do, and said complacently: "If the starling is talking about dealing with those Western missionaries, it's up to me. And I still have many friends in the court. They might be able to help too."

Yin Si clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Ninth Brother really deserves the title of righteousness."

Yinti also laughed and said: "There have been rumors in the palace that the crown prince has been denied the holy will for a long time, as long as our people go to Huang Ama to blow the wind, the prince will be abolished sooner or later."

"It's just that there is one more problem that is really a problem." Yin Si frowned suddenly again.

"What's the matter?" The other three said in unison.

"If the crown prince is abolished, our chance will come. The so-called name is not right, words are not right. Throughout the ages, anyone who inherits the great rule must be destined by destiny. Although Zhang Mingde was framed by the boss at the time, he was almost killed by Huang Ama. The title is abolished, but this dangerous move still has to be taken." Yin Si said, pinching his fingers gesticulating.

Yinzhen immediately understood, and said: "Myna means that these days we should invite a few more magicians to come to the mansion to do a good fortune-telling for myna."

"Exactly. It's just that recently I have to feast with the ministers of the court and make friends with capable people from the people. I also have to give porridge and medicine to the people on time. The cost is really not small." Yinsi said helplessly.

"Brother, it's not difficult. I still have some silver taels, and I'll send someone to bring it over when the time comes." Yinti said eagerly.

"Fourteenth brother, far away water can't put out near fire. My mansion is at the east entrance of Iron Lion Alley, and it's only a few steps away from Babeile Mansion. When the time comes, Bage just send someone to ask me for money." Yinzhen Also said.

Yinsi glanced at Yinzhen, his eyes were full of emotion, and said: "Ninth brother, you—"

Yinzhen bowed his head and smiled: "I, Yinzhen, always put brotherly loyalty first, and now we are in the same boat, so we should have the same blessings and share the difficulties."

Yin Si hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and apologized: "To be honest, I couldn't fully trust you because of your friendship with the fourth brother and the prince, but now it seems that it is really a villain's heart."

Yinti also stood up and said: "I, Yinti, have always been outspoken. I have offended many people in the past, Jiuge Haihan."

"Fourteenth brother is good at martial arts. In the future, he will guard the border for Huang Ama and make military achievements. Our chances of winning will be a little higher." Yinzhen walked between Yinsi and Yinti with a smile, and patted their shoulders .

"Ninth brother contacts the ministers, and fourteenth brother leads troops to fight, so what should I do?" Yin glanced at everyone's faces and said aggrievedly.

"You, just make Huang Ama happy." Yinti laughed.

"You—" Yin rushed forward, making a gesture to hit Yinti.

Yinsi and Yinti stood aside and watched the two of them fight and laughed together.
