Breeze

Before Kangxi's mausoleum, the contest between Yongzheng and the Queen Mother really surprised people.Yinqi wanted to sigh when he thought about it, after all, Yongzheng was an excellent politician who stood out among a group of brothers, and the queen mother was a woman who had experienced all the battles in the harem, so who could be Yongzheng's opponent?

But looking at it now, the fourteenth elder brother is not in any danger, at least, because the relationship between the queen mother and Yongzheng has become better, he will not be thrown to Jingling.

It's just that other people are very difficult to deal with.Brother Fourteen came to his senses, he must understand that he was being used as a gun, how could he let it go?If Yongzheng couldn't vent his anger on the fourteenth prince, he would definitely transfer his anger to other related personnel. Those who instigated the fourteenth prince's party, I am afraid that the eighth prince's party, but the end will be worse than in history.

At this time, thinking of Kangxi's will, Yin Qi only felt that it was an impossible task.

Even if Kangxi is dead, he still has to cause so much trouble for others.His last edict was simple, but he never thought about whether the person who went to announce the last edict would have the ability to make the successor obey him?

Yin Qi was sighing, but heard someone beside him say: "You are young, don't sigh! Be careful to get wrinkles early in the morning and become a little old man! At that time, you will not be able to get a wife."

Looking sideways, Brother Sixteen was looking at him, no one was following him, and he was standing alone in the snow with his hands behind his back.A string of footprints behind him, obviously did not walk on the road, but came here by stepping on the snow.

Seeing him, Yinqi hurried over to call Qian, and said, "Greetings to Sixteenth Brother. Why is Sixteenth Brother free? Are you done with the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Where are the people serving you?"

Elder Sixteen waved his hand and said, "How can that be? It's a busy time these days. Ministers, clansmen and clans all come into the palace to guard the spirit, don't they all have to be managed by me? I can't let the emperor Go manage the House of Internal Affairs by yourself. Pity me, you have no title or assignment, and I have done all the work of the chief manager. The people around me are still watching for me in the House of Internal Affairs. I will come out to hide."

Yin Qi smiled and said: "Brother Sixteen has worked hard. The strange thing is that Brother Sixteen has lost weight in the past few days. Looking at it from a distance, he looks like the bone spirit in that play."

Brother Sixteen heyed a few times, and said, "You don't want to embarrass me. Hey, just now I heard that the emperor and the fourteenth son were choking again in the Shouhuang Palace?"

Yin Qi sighed, and said: "That's not true. Let me see, the Queen Mother has aged ten years in the past two days."

Elder Sixteen wiped his nose and said: "This is also a difficult matter... Elder Fourteen is also true, what is wrong with him is that he can't make the emperor feel more at ease. He doesn't care about himself, and makes us all Those who want to see the emperor's affairs will feel better. This is great, he has only been back to Beijing for a few days, and the emperor has reprimanded me five or six times."

When Yinqi heard the reprimand, he thought of another person, and couldn't help asking: "Babeile... isn't he the general manager of the funeral? I'm thinking about this in my heart. I'm afraid the emperor will reprimand him too. Wouldn't it be a delay? Funeral ceremony?"

Elder Sixteen glanced at Yinqi and said, "If you are worried about Old Ba, just ask directly. I am your Sixteenth Brother. I have seen many things about you. What do you have to say to me? Say? It’s just that I’m curious. Why are you so soft-hearted? I haven’t seen you getting close to Lao Ba before, and Lao Jiu is willing to vent his anger on you from time to time. Lao Ten has always been... You often come in and out behind , Who said what in front of you? I'll tell you, but the emperor must not know about it."

Yinqi hurriedly said: "When did I have so much compassion? I just want to ask about the funeral ceremony of the late emperor. They have nothing to do with me, and I don't hold grudges against them, nor will I Soft-hearted or something. Sixteenth brother, it's not like you don't know that I followed the late emperor in the last few years. The late emperor can be regarded as pampering me, and I have to know how to be grateful."

Brother Sixteen looked at him for a while, and then said: "Whether you miss the late emperor or have other thoughts, I don't care about you. You have always been smart, and you know the importance."

After finishing speaking, he talked about Babeile's matter, and said: "Hey, can he get better? It's Thirteenth Brother, the emperor had a fit with him yesterday, Babeile... Hey, if there is someone He's here, we don't need to be reprimanded."

Yinqi knew that Babeile would not have any good fruit under Yongzheng's command, and when he heard that it was so, he couldn't help sighing.He was also a very beautiful person back then, but now he must be having a hard time.

Brother Sixteen also sighed, and said: "Actually speaking, Babeile is really not smart at this time. He clearly knows that the general situation is over, so what is he doing against the emperor?"

Yinqi was stunned, and quickly asked: "He dared to confront the emperor? What about the funeral ceremony of the late emperor? Isn't there no one to take care of it? The strange thing is that I heard people say that the Zi Palace of the late emperor It's messed up!"

Elder Sixteen's eyes flashed with surprise, and said: "Hey! Are you really only worried about the funeral ceremony of the late emperor? Then you don't need to worry about it. After all, Babeile is also the late emperor's own son. In order to be afraid of a The hat of unfilial piety has been put on his head, and he has to hold back his energy to finish the funeral well. He won't take this to get angry with the emperor."

After thinking for a while, Elder Sixteen said again: "You don't need to worry about the funeral ceremony. Could it be that you are the only one who is filial to all the sons of the late emperor? Although the emperor is thrifty, he will not be concerned about the funeral Spend a penny less.

"However, early this morning, the emperor specially sent someone to look at the corner of Feng'an Hall. I followed to see it. It's really outrageous! It's only been a few days? It's just snowed, and the paint on the outside has faded Yes. The emperor was naturally angry when he heard that, and then sent someone to scold Babeile and tell him to go back to work. This time, it is not his fault."

Yinqi's face was a little worried, he sighed, then nodded again, and said: "Since the emperor is always thinking about it, everything will be fine, so I don't worry about it."

~~~~~~~

Yin Qizheng and Brother Sixteen were talking about the seal of Jingling, and then they heard someone calling "Uncle Sixteen" from behind.The sixteenth elder brother put down the hand that was gesturing with Yin Qi, turned his head, looked at the person who came, narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said, "It's the third elder brother? But it's been a long time."

Hongshi walked up to him slowly, gave a thousand strokes, and said, "Greetings to Uncle Sixteen."

Then it seemed that he had just seen Yinqi, nodded, and said, "Uncle 23 is here too? I have seen Uncle 23."

Elder Sixteen put both hands into the hands of the cage, and said: "You didn't follow the emperor to serve, how did you come here? I heard that you received an errand in front of the emperor, why, tell me , what kind of job is it?"

Hongshi only stared at the soles of his feet, rubbed his toes on the ground a few times, and said, "There is nothing urgent. The emperor asked me to follow Prince Cheng to work on the late emperor's collection of poems and essays. It's so boring!"

Elder Sixteen frowned and said: "You really don't know how to praise! The former emperor's collection, that is such an important matter! Others can't compete! The emperor ordered you to do it because he valued you , you are good, you think this is just burying your great talent!?"

Seeing that the sixteenth elder brother made great achievements when he ascended the throne in Yongzheng, a title of prince will be indispensable in the future.Moreover, Hongshi had always been unfavored in front of Yongzheng, and his words at this time were really outrageous, and Elder Sixteen dared to reprimand him like that.

Just looking at Hongshi, he was completely unconvinced, and snorted: "Uncle Sixteen doesn't need to reprimand me like this, I also know how I got this job. If it is logical, I am the emperor's longest Son, I was supposed to help with the funeral, but the emperor was guarding against me and didn't want me to spend more time with my eighth uncle, so that's why I was asked to study some books. I don't know about it!"

Brother Sixteen was immediately furious with his appearance.Hong Shi was humming angrily, it seemed that Yongzheng, who was an ama, was the one who was sorry for him with Brother Sixteen and praying to these uncles.It's not that he betrayed his own Ama, mixed up with Ama's political opponents, committed taboos, and made mistakes.

After holding back his anger for a long time, Elder Sixteen was able to speak. He only said: "You know it too!? You clearly know it, but you still deliberately anger the emperor like this? You are really filial!"

Hongshi just curled his lips, and said: "Where did I deliberately anger him? He doesn't want to see me, impatient to see me, so I don't go to him. But Uncle Ba treats me well, and Uncle Ba It's too close, and he doesn't allow..."

Brother Sixteen didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he just waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and get out before I'm really angry! Otherwise, I'm going to put on my uncle's airs today, so I can fight Give me a meal! You'll be ripped apart!"

Hongshi opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all, he muttered something, "I wanted to ask about Uncle Ba", and walked slowly away.Brother Sixteen watched him go, and then sighed: "When we were young, our uncles and nephews often watched and played together, and we looked like a good person. Now it's only a few years, how come we have become How about this?"

When Hongshi was gone out of sight, Elder Sixteen took Yinqi to Elder Brother's place, and said as he walked, "So there was something to do today. I thought you were an idler, and you could make people feel happy." Trustworthy, I want you to help take care of your sixteenth brother's yard."

He sighed and counted: "Your sixteenth sister-in-law is six or seven months pregnant, but your little sister-in-law Li Shi is sick again and can't take care of things. Now seeing my family's Sangege is not very good, Things have all rushed together, and the yard is in a mess! My brother usually sees you, the red fragrance and bixiang by your side and that...Gao Hui, they are all capable, and you don’t go to school now, and you don’t have What errand, I just want you to help take care of it, and borrow someone from you by the way to greet us in our yard."

Yinqi thought for a while, and then said: "What's the matter, is it worth being the sixteenth brother to say so on purpose? You sent Liu Shun'er to my yard to let me know and it was enough, and you even came here specially."

Brother Sixteen said: "I didn't come here specially to look for you. I went to my mother's place to say hello. Who would have known that I would have seen you here? Then I turned around and came to tell you a few words." sentence."

Yin Qi sneered and said: "Brother Sixteen, are you really being rude to me?"

As he was talking, he saw a commotion over there, someone shouting, interspersed with the sound of someone crying.Both Yinqi and sixteenth elder brother frowned and looked over, but saw a group of people gathered together, and one of them looked at fourteenth elder brother.

Brother Sixteen is in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, he has to take care of all the big and small matters in this palace, and if he wants to deal with it, what happens is naturally his responsibility.

He looked at the group of palace people gathered together with a gloomy expression on his face, strode over and asked, "What is this for! You dog slaves! Do you know where this is! One by one Did you all think of the Department of Punishment, let the nuns give you a good training, teaching, teaching, and re-learn the rules!?"

Those people dressed as eunuchs and maids immediately lowered their heads in fear, and the people surrounded in the middle were unrestrained, and no one dissuaded them, and started yelling again.Hearing that voice, it turned out to be Brother Fourteen.

A few personal eunuchs who were following Elder Fourteen were blocking their master, hugging Elder Fourteen hurriedly, not letting him move.The sixteenth elder brother snatched it away, and the eunuchs immediately shrank, and the fourteenth elder brother broke free.As soon as the fourteenth elder brother got away, he looked around and actually walked towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

If it's just walking, it's fine, the fourteenth elder brother is still yelling to find his fourth brother, and ask his fourth brother to give him an explanation.Those who heard this at the side wished they were deaf immediately.

Elder Sixteen wrinkled his nose and sniffed, his eyebrows furrowed immediately.He walked over and picked up the fourteenth elder brother's personal eunuchs, and scolded: "Hurry up and help your master! You are all made of wood!? There is no good-looking trash! I want you What is the use!?"

The eunuchs hurried up and hugged Brother Fourteen again, tying his feet and not letting him move.There is a smart person next to him, even though he is not working with Brother Fourteen, he also goes to grab Brother Fourteen.Elder Sixteen shouted at the familiar person again, who seemed to have seen him before: "How do you all serve! You are so good that Master Fourteen is so drunk! Where are you serving? Give the name tag to the master Come up! After the matter is over, let's settle the score!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.Elder Sixteen also knew about Elder Fourteen's domineering temperament, no one could stop him from doing anything, unless it was Concubine De or the late Kangxi.Not even the eighth elder brother who is friendly with him, or his own brother Yongzheng, can't control this overlord.He has always been used to doing whatever he wants.At this time, it was just a question and a statement.

Elder Sixteen didn't ask these people any more, but raised his chin to one of the eunuchs who was hugging Elder Fourteen's arm, and asked, "This is still in the palace, who doesn't understand the rules to give Fourteen The wine made by the master? It's not a matter of curry favor at this time!"
