Breeze

Yin Qi quickly thought about it carefully, and it was only for this reason that Yongzheng was going to get angry.

But yesterday, nothing really happened...

If it was the time when he first pointed out the marriage earlier, there were still some shadows.

After thinking about it, he slept with Hongzhou last night, although he knew nothing happened, others didn't.Just like Hongli's misunderstanding today, it was closer, and he still had to speculate like that.

Yongzheng was far away, so I was afraid that it was just hearsay, so I would misunderstand him even more, and then...

If Yongzheng really knew about it at this time, there must be no reason to punish Hongzhou first.Looking at it now, Hong Zhou is still his preferred heir, so naturally he can't just give up - the prince made more mischief back then, and I didn't see how Kangxi dealt with the prince - so the unlucky one must be Yinqi.

Called over this time, I don't know what to say...Warning?Or a threat?Or beat in the dark?

Yinqi felt uneasy, he had already arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation.The gate of the hall stopped for a while, Gao Wuyong didn't even take a breath before entering, the little eunuch ran out and said anxiously: "My lord, please go in, Your Majesty please."

Into the inside, as usual in the study.Yongzheng was sitting behind the desk, holding the booklet in his hand, flipping through it quickly, obviously he didn't read it into his eyes.As soon as Yinqi entered the door, he dropped the notebook and stared at Yinqi with both eyes.

When Yinqi got close, he knelt down to pay his respects, but he didn't hear Yongzheng's call for a long time.Yin Qi didn't dare to raise his head, the room was so quiet that he could hear his breath.Yinqi only held his breath, and heard Yongzheng exhale and inhale very heavily, as if trying to endure something.

After an unknown period of time, until Yin Qi knelt until his knees became numb, he heard Yong Zheng say: "Get up."

When he got up, Yinqi inadvertently looked at Yongzheng's eyes, and saw that those dark eyes were empty and emotionless.

Yin Qi was stunned for a moment, not knowing what kind of feeling came to his mind.

This is not the first time, but whenever he sees Yongzheng hiding all his emotions like this, Yinqi always finds it difficult to restrain himself, feeling like he wants to feel sorry for him.

Just listen to Yongzheng saying: "Why did it take you so long to see anyone today? Where did you go yesterday?"

Yinqi hurriedly gathered his mind, bowed his head and replied: "Going back to the emperor, I went to the Zhuangzi outside the city with the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother. I thought it was Xiumu today, so I relaxed for a while. When I came back, I brought my fifth elder brother The watermelon served on Brother Zhuangzi is said to be filial to the emperor."

Yongzheng snorted coldly, and said, "There's no need! If they really know how to be filial, then..."

He said such a sentence very quickly, but in the middle of the sentence, he suddenly stopped again, and after a while, he said: "You are also fooling around with them? You are not too young now! You must You have to know what avoidance is!"

When Yin Qi heard the words, he raised his head suddenly as if there was thunder in his ears. There was no emotion in Yong Zheng's expression. It should be... that he really wanted to warn him.

Isn't this time the same as the battle for the throne that Yongzheng himself experienced back then... Hongzhou and Hongli, Yongzheng was originally suspicious that he had made friends with the prince and wanted to plan for the future?

Suddenly, a bitter taste gushed out from the bottom of his heart, Yin Qi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Or, what to say at this time is meaningless.

It has already been suspected, or Yongzheng has already confirmed it, so what else is there to say?I'm afraid that even if he makes an excuse sincerely, it can only be considered as a rhetoric.

Yinqi didn't know how he could make his voice so steady, without a trace of trembling, and said to Yongzheng: "Your servant knows, thank you for your instruction."

Yongzheng and his eyes met, but he avoided it first, turned his head, and said in a deep voice: "It's not that I suspect you, it's just this kind of thing, you know your innocence, but in the eyes of others, it's really true." I can't tell the difference. If you are careful at this time, you will avoid trouble in the future. I know your loyalty, so I understand to warn you, but it is just a precautionary measure..."

As he spoke, his own voice gradually lowered, and he stopped slowly. After all, he took a deep breath and stopped talking.

After another half hour of silence, Yin Qi lowered his head and smiled to himself.The place in the heart is cold, and I can't feel any kind of pain.In this way, it is not bad.

Last night, I was still thinking that maybe it was because of my unceasing affection for Yongzheng, but today, Yongzheng came to help him.

That's fine too... always remembering those affections from the past, but it's a drag on the current self.Besides Yinqi, where else is there such a stupid person?

Thinking about it now, King Jiajun is the real wise man, and he was right.

If he doesn't care about it himself, no one can hurt him.

So even if he is suspected and alienated, he still lives at ease.

When Yongzheng could use him, he was happy to be reused; when he didn't want to use him, he was happy to be at leisure.

The strange thing is, every time I see him, I never see him look sad.

If it is not like King Jiajun, then it must be like Prince Yi, in his eyes, in his heart, at all times, only Yongzheng can do it, otherwise, how can a suspicious like Yongzheng be able to have both sides?

But if there is any slack, it will end in a dismal end like Yin Qi did today.

Yinqi smiled slightly, raised his head and said: "The emperor's painstaking efforts, the slaves all know. The emperor is thinking of the slaves. This is the blessing of the slaves. The emperor understands the loyalty of the slaves, and the slaves are... deeply impressed."

~~~~~~~

Looking up, he saw Yongzheng opened his mouth, and his expression seemed a little moved.

Yue Mo wanted to say something, but in the end he just breathed a sigh of relief.After another while, Yongzheng said: "It's good that you know, you are always a conscientious child, I have not misjudged the person."

Yinqi just smiled and didn't answer.

After a long silence, or only for a moment, I heard Yongzheng say: "Now there is one more thing, probably you have to work hard."

Yinqi said: "Please order from the emperor, but if the emperor has something to say, the servant will die."

Hearing his straightforward answer, Yongzheng hesitated for a while, took some papers from the desk, handed them to Gao Wuyong next to him, and said, "Look at this thing first."

Taking the paper from Gao Wuyong, Yin Qi looked down, but it was his own handwriting.

This was originally something he wrote to Prince Yi earlier, but somehow it ended up here in Yongzheng.But considering Prince Yi's loyalty, it's not surprising.Yinqi saw the end, and there was another page with the words of Prince Yi attached, which also said the same thing.It's just pointing out the incompleteness of Yinqi's thinking, and saying some of his own opinions.

This can be regarded as his private letter to Prince Yi. Although it was privately sent to Prince Yi, it didn't say anything shameful, but it was about the rectification of the Eight Banners.

Since Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he has been preparing for this matter.With the prosperity of peace, the number of banner men increased, and the money and food provided by Enyang were not enough to support the whole family, and they were unable to engage in agriculture, industry, and commerce. Ordinary banner men had no extra income other than wearing armor and doing errands, which made their lives continue to deteriorate.The Eight Banners can't make a living. This is something that has been eager to be resolved since the Kangxi Dynasty, but it has never been resolved.Prince Yi has been worried for several years, and his hair has turned gray again, so he didn't think about it.

Yin Qi was worried that he would be in trouble, so he wrote this private letter to him, talking about the Eight Banners.Yinqi's idea is naturally to return the Jingqi to the village. Originally, this was only proposed in the early years of Qianlong, but it was only ten years too early to implement it at this time.But since it can make Prince Yi less worried, it is also worth it.

The previous measures of the imperial court have always been that the Han army sent out the banner, and the people of the Eight Banners who were not in the regular banner set up the banner for the people, set up mine fields, rewarded silver, redeemed the land of the civil code, and established and raised soldiers.The Ministry of Accounts and the Warehousing Department spent a huge amount of money on this, but with little effect.What's more serious is that these measures have further contributed to the dependence of the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners, and the deficit of the three major treasuries during the Kangxi period also originated from this.

To plan a long-term plan for the members of the Eight Banners, it is necessary to set up a permanent property for them, and replace "government support" with "self-support".However, around the capital, where is there any land that can be distributed to these idle bannermen?Only the Northeast, where the Jurchen started, is left.

Because Yinqi knew that the Huitun of Jingqi in later generations was in Heilongjiang, he pointed it out directly.Prince Yi probably checked it himself again, and then he felt that it was feasible, so he appended his own opinion, which he also agreed with.

However, the return of the Jingqi to the village is just a sentence, but in practice, there are still many places that need to be careful.For example, who will return to the village and who will stay in Beijing; what if the Central Plains is unstable after the Eight Banners are returned to the village?

And so on, all kinds of questions, this letter has been written for five or six pages, all of which are about one thing.Prince Yi outlined the key points, some points he disagreed with, and some points he supported, densely packed with small characters, and wrote many notes.Yin Qi looked at it carefully, pursed his lips, wondering what Yong Zheng wanted him to read what he had written.

It can't be suspicion, he intends to collude with Prince Yi?

not.Even if he can't trust Yinqi, Yongzheng should be able to trust Prince Yi.

Then it should be... wanting to use his method, but not at ease, wanting to ask this matter carefully again.

When Yinqi handed back the papers to Gao Wuyong, Yongzheng said: "Your method is not bad, but I have seen all the civil and military affairs in the Manchu dynasty, and there is only one person who can be sent to the northeast with confidence. Yunqi, you Would you like to go?"

Yinqi was stunned, and heard Yongzheng continue: "Speaking of this method, you have thought about it. Naturally, you know better than others and know what to do. And you also said that those who go to the Northeast Village must You are a trustworthy person, I can trust him, and he has this ability. Except for the old thirteen, you are the only one beside me. The old thirteen... the capital cannot be separated from him."

As he said that, he looked at Yinqi and said, "You are young, so you didn't dare to entrust such a heavy responsibility. It's just that you are really capable after looking at it these years. Speaking of it now, the vision of the late emperor is really true. Accurate. I trust you and am willing to use you, but are you willing to go? This is a matter of hardship, you...you have to think about it before you talk."

Yin Qi lowered his head, he was really upset at this moment.On the one hand, Yongzheng suspected that he was getting close to Hongzhou Hongli and wanted to take refuge in the prince. On the other hand, he really believed in him. He was asked if he wanted to do such a big thing. He was really not afraid that he was in the northeast and led a group of flag soldiers to rebel. or set aside land for the king.

This kind of contradiction is trust and suspicion, what is it for?

After all, can he trust himself, or can't he?

However, before Yinqi could figure it out, Yongzheng had just finished speaking before, but after a while, he said again: "Forget it, you still don't want to go. The northeast is too far away. It is said that it is the land of Longxing, and there are no people there. A barren land. Even in Shengjing, it is very difficult. You are young, and your body is not very strong. You have always stayed in the capital, and you can't rest assured if you put it under your nose. How can I tell you to leave? By my side, don't I have to worry about..."

Xingxing said, Yongzheng and his party waved their hands, just talking, he himself gradually stopped.Yin Qi looked up at him, feeling that today's Yongzheng is really strange.

Yinqi frowned slightly and looked at Yongzheng.Yongzheng seemed a little distracted, he only looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, his lips were tightly pursed.Yinqi hesitated for a moment, and said: "The emperor is considerate, and the slave is really flattered. It's just this matter... the emperor also said that the slave can bear the burden, and the slave is willing to share the emperor's worries - just as I said before. No excuses."

After saying this, Yinqi looked carefully at Yongzheng's expression.

Seeing that he was still in a daze at first, then he became vigilant, but frowned.When Yinqi finished speaking, Yongzheng actually showed some annoyed expression.

But the anger just flashed across his face, and then Yongzheng took a deep breath and said: "You... I said it, let you think about it, and you won't regret it in the future! I know you are filial and loyal, What I keep in my heart is...Loyal to the emperor and patriotic, without you, I have always been well-behaved, that's...that's why I think more about your own private affairs for you. "

Yin Qi didn't know why he was secretly angry, but looking at it today, it wasn't just this that was wrong with Yongzheng, there was really no way to care about it.

As far as Gao Wuyong said, he was inexplicably angry. Early in the morning on the holiday, he made people wait in front of the house of internal affairs, just waiting for Xuan Yinqi; The words of the human heart's lesson, looked like they were about to make trouble; however, they didn't talk about related things after that, they only talked about government affairs; and when it comes to government affairs, Yongzheng should have been concentrating and making decisive decisions, but today he hesitated Undecided, contradictory words one after another, and lost consciousness...

Now it's this kind of unexplained anger again, saying these irrelevant things... Could it be that he was really afraid that Yinqi would go to the northeast and rebel there;

Thinking secretly in his heart, Yin Qi said: "Yun Qi has nothing personal, but Er Niang and some things in the yard must be taken care of. Er Niang is under the care of the empress, and Harina... lives in the palace. No one will treat her badly, Yunqi has nothing to worry about. As for Yunqi herself, she has practiced martial arts riding and archery for many years, or she looks thinner, so there is nothing to worry about."

After hearing this, Yongzheng took another deep breath.After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "Since you said so, then...don't disappoint my trust in you."
