"The third child is really restless. He can't do anything to harm you, and now he's provoking me again. The investigation of deficits and embezzlement was originally a matter of my household department. I spoke with Huang Ama, but Huang Ama didn't even say anything about it. What, he started to fan the flames among those ministers." Yinzhen dropped a white pawn steadily, while sneering, "His claws are too long, anyone wants to touch it there , is really extremely stupid."

Yinhu held his son down leisurely, and said with a smile: "This third brother is a little too shrewd. If Huang Ama doesn't say anything about such a big move, he will definitely not like it in his heart."

"Now the boss is imprisoned, and the second child is not well-known. He is the oldest among the people. In addition, he is in charge of the official department. There must be many officials who have slapped horses over the years. I think he is a bit It's just that I've always been a man of meritorious deeds, and he has done nothing in terms of political achievements other than framing others over the years, but I don't know where he got his self-confidence!"

Yinhu took a white piece with a slight smile, and said in a warm voice: "Although I checked the matter of embezzlement and deficit before, but it was not done well enough, it's thanks to you that you can bear it until today, Huang Ama presses the button right now." The reason why you refuse to speak is because you are afraid that the officials will be dissatisfied and you will attract criticism. In fact, Huang Ama knows what is in the treasury best. Now that the third child is making such a fuss, I guess Huang Ama will soon press it. I can't hold it anymore, sooner or later I will agree to you. However, I am afraid that your name as the cold-faced king will be called even louder."

Yinzhen's eyes sank, he clenched his fists and said in a cold voice: "Those corrupt officials, who spend the whole day with the royal salary, enjoy the wealth and glory, but they are not enough! Their hands and feet have actually moved into the national treasury, and I want to share it." A piece of soup. This investigation will inevitably hurt someone, and my reputation will be exchanged for the cramp of these corrupt officials. This business is really not a loss."

Yinhu didn't want him to say such a thing, although he already knew that corruption and clique formation were what he hated the most, but he hated it to such an extent.

Although he didn't know how Yinzhen governed the country after his death, but based on this person's heart and skills, it must be all right...

This person is indeed more suitable for that seat than himself.

When Yinhu thought this way, although he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, he had to admit that although he was by no means inferior to Yinzhen in terms of intelligence and strategy, he was really inferior to him in terms of scheming and resolute action. Too much too much.

Even for his own younger brother Yinzhen, didn't he just save his life?After careful calculation, among the few people who fought openly and secretly in the battle for the heirloom, the only ones who survived the difficulty of saving their lives, except for Yinzhen, the final winner, were actually only Yinxiang and Yinzhen.

Thinking of Yinzhen, Yinhu couldn't help asking: "It's been almost half a year since the fourteenth went to the front line, right? I heard from my father-in-law that day, it seems that he has a very good record and is very active."

Yinzhen smiled disdainfully, and his tone was always indifferent, "He is naturally very active. Since the elder brother was imprisoned, the military department was under the control of Shisan, but Shisan had an accident all of a sudden, but he was in vain. It fell into his hands. Now that he was a lieutenant general when he first entered the battlefield, if he made a few great achievements and came back victorious, wouldn't he be named a general just around the corner?"

Yinhu frowned slightly, "He is still young now, if he has more achievements, it will not be a good thing for him or us."

Yinzhen tapped the chessboard lightly, and murmured: "Arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated. This is true. But do you know that even on the battlefield, he also has some crooked thoughts? Nian Gengyao sent him to The governor of Sichuan, he even sent someone to prepare a generous gift for him."

Yinhu raised his head and said with a smile: "Since the fourth brother said so, I think Fourteen must have hit a snag."

"Nian Gengyao said that he had already expressed his ambition. During his tenure, he only wished to be 'willing to be indifferent, and never to favoritism'. Whatever the gift he sent, Nian Gengyao returned it intact." Yin Yin Zhen laughed more and more happily, and said calmly, "He seemed to lose his temper afterwards, but he should be taught to study hard, how to write the words 'bring yourself to shame'."

Since Yinxiang's accident happened, Yinhu and Yinzhen had torn skins again, and Yinzhen and him became even more indifferent than before.Now just by listening to Yinzhen's tone of voice, one can tell how deeply he taboos and loathes this fellow brother.Yinhu deliberated for a long while before dropping a son, glanced at Yinzhen's expression, and asked in a deep voice: "Nian Gengyao is so disrespectful to him, do you think he can swallow it?"

Yinzhen sneered, "Of course it's impossible. Within two days of this incident, Er Niang called me to go. First, she made a big deal with me, but after talking about it, I realized that she wanted me all the time. Give Shisi a helping hand. She said that we are brothers who are close relatives, we should help each other more, and that I usually care less about him than my elder brother. I really think it's very strange. When she said these words to me, why did Can you be so righteous? I have never owed Shisi anything, and I don’t know anything about the nasty things he did behind his back. Even if I support that incompetent old nine, I am much better than this villain. !"

"Did you start a dispute with Concubine De again?"

"Come on, so what? In her heart, has she ever remembered that there is still a son like me in this world!" Yinzhen sneered again and again, with hatred in his eyes, "In the future, I will have fourteen to take care of her when she dies. That's enough! If I ask her a few more questions, I'm afraid my mother-in-law won't like to listen to it or read it."

Yinhu frowned and persuaded: "Why are you doing this? Parents will inevitably have a little preference for the youngest son. Although the concubine de concubine said that, it may not mean that she really doesn't love you. Think about it when you were young. Hugging her away from her side, although she is helpless, she must be very sad."

Yinzhen waved his hand, and said coldly: "You don't need to say these things, my heart is like a mirror, even if I care about what happened at that time, I can only blame Huang Ama! How can I blame me ? Let’s not talk about this, I will get angry and blame you later.”

Yinhu had no choice but to follow his wishes, and just about to ask him about Nian Gengyao, he heard a soft knock on the door outside the study, and then a soft female voice came from outside the door, "Master, My concubine sent some snacks over."

Yinzhen said to Yinhu: "I ordered it. It's boring to think about playing chess for a long time. Why don't you eat something." Then he ordered to the door in a deep voice: "Come in."

As soon as the door opened, Yinhu saw a woman in a flag dress walking in slowly, with a petite and graceful figure, extremely fair skin, and a beautiful appearance, and even the voice of greetings was so charming and graceful, Yinhu couldn't help feeling a pang in her heart. Stagnation, this is Nianshi.

This was the first time he saw Nian Shi after he passed through the door. She really was a woman with unpainted brows and self-growth. Seeing that she was very gentle to set the food plate for the two of them, Gu Panying retreated, even such a simple When raising your hand, there are also a lot of styles.

Although Yinhu was quite prepared in his heart, when he actually saw Nian Shi, he still couldn't help feeling bitter.

Such a woman, even if she doesn't care about the dependence of her natal family, is really worthy of liking.

Seeing that he had been silent since Nianshi left, Yinzhen couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Try this, this jujube paste is very finely ground, just the kind you like."

"Well, I'll try it."

"And this crispy roll, which is also your favorite."

Yinzhen told him a few things, and seeing that he was indifferent, he couldn't help wondering, "What's wrong? You don't seem to be very interested?"

Yinhu smiled slightly, put down his chopsticks and said, "How could it be, it's just that I used a little too much for lunch, and I'm not too hungry right now."

"This is something for eating and playing. We used to use it in the past." Yinzhen suddenly thought of something, and a smile appeared on his lips, "Why did you lose your appetite when you saw Nian today? But Did she turn your appetite off?"

Yinhu was suddenly embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Fourth brother, don't talk nonsense, Nianshi is such a stunning beauty, it's too late to look pleasing to the eye, how could it turn off my appetite."

Yinzhen suddenly realized, nodded with a smile and said: "That's right, the appearance of the Nian family was indeed amazing. Nian Gengyao is not a handsome man. I didn't expect to have such a beautiful girl."

"No matter how beautiful the city is, isn't it also being embraced by the fourth brother now? The fourth brother is really a blessing."

Looking at him, Yinzhen clearly felt sour, but he still insisted on talking and laughing with himself, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, and nodded seriously: "You're right, such a peerless appearance is really rare. ,Unfortunately……"

"What a pity?"

Yinzhen smiled meaningfully, and said in a low voice, "It's a pity that some people don't like to watch it."

Yinhu smiled to himself, pretending to have nothing to do, and said, "Is this what the fourth brother said about me? Just now I told the fourth brother that you misunderstood. Everyone has this love of beauty, and my brother also Not an exception, what the fourth brother said is definitely wrong."

Yinzhen clapped his palms and laughed loudly, stretched out his hand and pulled Yinhu into his arms, and whispered in his ear with a smile: "The so-and-so person I'm talking about is myself."

Yinhu didn't expect him to say such a sentence, his face turned red for some reason, and the joy in his heart was like new buds constantly emerging in spring, and it was full of flowers very quickly.

"I still remember what you said to Honghui in Zhuangzi back then, wishing to have one heart and one heart, never to leave each other." Yinzhen held his palm very seriously, and said slowly, " At that moment, I thought, if I want to be alone for the rest of my life, I'm afraid it will be impossible. But I dare to promise you this one-heartedness. No matter how many concubines I have behind me, you are the only one who can be here. That's all."

The palm of Yinhu's hand was pulled by Yinzhen to cover his chest, his fingertips could almost feel the beating up and down, bang... bang... such a steady and powerful beating sound, it seems that people's hearts can settled down.Clearly separated by clothes and body, but at this moment, Yinhu had an illusion that maybe his fingertips could really touch Yinzhen's heart.

After hearing what he said, the little jealousy just now is really insignificant.

Two days later, Kangxi summoned Yinzhen into the palace, and what was on hand was the brochure that Yinzhen had presented.Kangxi rubbed his brows quite tiredly, and said in a deep voice, "Has the household department's deficit reached such a level now?"

Yinzhen didn't raise his head, but his voice was unusually steady, "I dare not lie to Huang Ama, all the deficit accounts are written on it."

"It seems that this matter was checked once a few years ago, why didn't it work?"

A few years ago, Yinfeng was still in power, interfering in every possible way, how could he let him go?Yinzhen bowed his head and said respectfully: "At that time, the investigation was not very detailed. If we do a thorough investigation this time, we will first recover the misappropriation of the above. If it is claimed that it cannot be handed over, the imperial court will send someone to the door to investigate. If it is really not there, then it will be deducted from the salary first. If the deficit is not paid for a day, his salary will be deducted for a day."

Kangxi was silent for a while, then looked at Yinzhen and said, "Since that's the case, you can go ahead and do it, but don't be too ruthless."

Yinzhen was overjoyed, bowed his head to thank him and said: "My son obeys the order, Huang Ama, please rest assured."

After Kangxi ordered him to get up, he suddenly said: "Today, Yinzhen handed me a note. Guess who he impeached?"

Yinzhen's heart sank, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't know."

"He impeached Nian Gengyao, saying that he was self-willed, arrogant and contemptuous, and seemed to..." Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen, and saw that he was still indifferent, and then said slowly, "It seems There is a suspicion of clinging to elder brother and forming a clique for personal gain."

After Kangxi finished speaking, there was silence in the hall. The sandalwood in the incense burner not far away was accompanied by light smoke, and the Western clock enshrined by the Westerners slowly made a heavy sound, like a very blunt blade. The bottom grinds heavily on the heart.It's not very painful, but it can make you feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Kangxi asked, "Do you know who he is talking about?"

Yinzhen respectfully said in a calm and unhurried way below: "Returning to the emperor Ama, I guessed that I must be referring to my son."

Kangxi raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and there was a faint smile in his voice, "How did you know?"

"Speaking of closeness, middle-aged princes and ministers have the closest relationship, and they have always had a good personal relationship before. It is only natural for the Fourteenth Brother to have this suspicion."

"In terms of intimacy, Yinzhen is your younger brother. Don't you feel resentment in your heart when he reads you a copy in front of me like this?"

Yinzhen raised his head when he heard the words, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of awe, "The fourteenth brother did this because he was afraid that someone might be scheming, but it was just a precautionary measure. My son thinks that his behavior is worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of Huang Ama, I am not afraid of slander and gossip. What's more, the fourteenth brother is also dedicated to the country and society, and he does not have any personal grievances with his son to retaliate deliberately. How can the son be dissatisfied? As for the resentment, it is absolutely gone , don't say anything else, Shisi is the younger brother of Erchen's direct relative."

After hearing this, Kangxi showed a look of relief, nodded and said: "He understands righteousness, is broad-minded, very good, very good. It seems that it is most appropriate for you to investigate the matter of the Ministry of Households. If you encounter difficulties, come to find I am, this time I must check it out."

Yinzhen's respectful eyes lowered deeply at the right time, covering up the joy and pride in it. In front of Kangxi, it was still the indifferent, calm, calm and experienced Prince Yong Yinzhen, just like usual.

This time Yinzhen really checked very quickly and ruthlessly, first listed the people on the list one by one, and selected those who misappropriated the name to interrogate first, and nearly [-]% of them were all under the name of misappropriation Number.As soon as this group of people heard that Kangxi had agreed to the matter, they hurriedly sent gifts to Yinzhen's mansion in a panic, but Yinzhen issued an order that those things were not even allowed to enter the mansion's gate, and all the people were gone.Only then did everyone understand that the cold-faced king was determined to bleed them once. If no one hurts them severely this time, they might not be able to pass the matter.

"Although this method has achieved some results, it still cannot be eradicated. Huang Ama doesn't want to go to war, and just asks them to hand over the silver taels. But which of these corrupt officials is willing to cut meat and feed the eagles? The silver taels handed over , I still don’t know where it came from, I’m afraid it’s the fish and meat people coming again.”

Hearing his emotion, Yinhu couldn't help but comfort him: "There's no need to rush this matter, it's good to have a little success anyway, and the future will last forever."

Yinzhen's eyes lit up, he grabbed his hand and said: "You are right, the future will last forever, and I will punish these corrupt officials severely in the future. Once the deficit is found, they will be dismissed from office, claim compensation, and ransack their homes. There must be no trace Be soft! Although the world is going downhill, as long as I can control it for one day, I will return the world to a little more clarity and give the people one more day to live in peace."

Yinhu was moved by what he said, smiled and held him back, and said softly: "It will happen someday."

Seeing him looking at him with full eyes, Yinzhen couldn't help but feel lighter, and said to him very seriously: "If there is a day, you must accompany me to succeed. In this majestic world, magnificent mountains and rivers, No matter how beautiful and beautiful, if you are not by my side, all this will be meaningless to me."

Yinhu's thoughts changed, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of the snow in the other courtyard that year, and there was only tenderness in his heart, and he smiled and nodded, "Of course I will."

In the future, you will be a wise king for a lifetime, and I will be a capable minister for a lifetime.

The time to come is still so long, the journey is still so long, although every day is full of strong wind and rain, but fortunately, I still have you by my side.

Yinhu would not say such words, but Yinzhen has already read thousands of words from his eyes.

I know that what you think in your heart is the same as mine, there is no difference.

This bloodbath of Yinzhen not only implicated many important officials in the court, but even elder brother was involved, one was Yinzhi, and the other was Yinzhen.

"I told you a long time ago, don't get involved in these messy things, but now it's good, I brought you out! When can you listen carefully and remember what the starling said?"

Yinhu looked at Yinhu who had a dark complexion in front of him, and couldn't help but smiled and said flatteringly: "Myna, don't be angry, now it's serious to think of a way for me. At that time, my shop was short of income for a while. I did something wrong in a moment of confusion. The starling and the fourth brother are the best friends, and now my younger brother depends entirely on the starling!"

Yinhu glared at him angrily, and said angrily: "What can I do? Huang Ama has reprimanded you for doing business outside, why don't you have a long memory? Instead of being cautious, I put my hand in the treasury It's been stretched inside! Now there is only one way, and that is to hand over all the silver. Fortunately, your fourth brother is still suppressing this matter and did not report it to Huang Ama, otherwise no one will be able to save you!"

"Now it's 50 taels. Myna, where can I find those silver coins?"

"Don't cry poorly with me, don't I know about your family? Don't talk about useless gossip, hurry up and choose a day to make up all the money."

Yinyu still smiled affectionately, pulled Yinhu's sleeve and said, "Don't be annoyed, my eighth brother. I am no better than my third brother here. He is in charge of the official department. If you just give it a shot, naturally there will be a lot of officials below him to help him." I am a small businessman, how can I stand up to this torture? Good starling, I beg you, brother, let the fourth brother spare me this time, and then I will never dare again. "

Yinhu frowned and resolutely refused, "No, thanks to you who can say that, I don't have the face to say that! I advise you to put away those foolish things as soon as possible, and don't give me those evil ideas."

Seeing that after begging for so long, Yinhu still refused to help her, so she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "Brother, what kind of relationship do you have with me and Lao Ten? Do you watch your brother go to the end of the road?"

"You walked this road by yourself. I have already mentioned it to you countless times. Who do you blame if you don't listen?"

Yinzhen's face turned red with anger, and he paced around the room resentfully, "I earn money every day, isn't it because of you, starling? I gave you all my heart, but you are thinking about it. But it’s only the fourth brother! What kind of relationship do you and I have with the tenth brother? It’s not an exaggeration to say that I’m dead! Now it’s such a trivial matter, and you have the heart to do it just because of the integrity of the fourth brother. Push me into the fire pit?"

Yinhu was aroused by what he said, and shouted sharply: "What do you call that? Could it be that I just indulge you just for your own good? Let me tell you again, you don't have to replace me in that seat Use your brains, I have no intention of doing this at all, so you should also put your mind to it!"

"No matter how good you are with the fourth brother, is it possible that you will also give up this? Brother myna, my brother has been planning for you for many years, and the plan is that one day it will come in handy. How can you be like this..."

"I'll tell you again." Yinhu clenched his fists tightly, staring into Yinhu's eyes and said word by word, "I don't want to fight for that seat, and I won't fight for it. Don’t change your mind! Forgive me for your shortfall. If you don’t want to be interrogated by Huang Ama in person, you’d better make up for the shortfall quickly. You and I are brothers, and the starling advises you. , Don’t be clever but be misled by cleverness.”

After hearing this, Yinzhen was silent for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth and said: "Since the starling said so, the younger brother will no longer be needlessly obsessed, so I will leave!"

Yinhu knew that this had hurt Yinhu's heart, but he really couldn't help him. If some lessons didn't hurt him, no matter how many times he was reprimanded, he would still forget them in a blink of an eye.

Only after the pain of the skin can we remember it unforgettable.

Just like the self in the previous life.

It is through such ups and downs that I can be calm and indifferent today.
