Breeze

Hearing this, Yinqi was stunned, and then smiled and said: "I dare not say no, but naturally there are some thoughts on my own mind. Hongzhou and the third elder brother are brothers after all, and the family still has a relationship with each other. Close. Most of what the slave said and did was for the slave's own heart. To put it bluntly, the slave and the third elder brother have had a long-standing grudge, not purely for Hong Zhou... so Some of them are biased, and I ask the emperor to teach me a lesson."

Yongzheng smiled slightly, and said: "I have nothing to teach you. However, you act like a man, but you have the character of my youth. If the emperor is still here, I am afraid that you will be admonished as well." A word of refraining from impatience and patience."

He rested his chin in one hand, flipped through the memorials on the table with the other, deliberately slowed down his speech, and said, "Brother 23 is still a little younger, and he has a high spirit. You must know that there are some things that cannot be rushed."

Yinqi didn't know what Yongzheng meant and why he said this to him.While being confused, I also felt a little uneasy.

Speaking of which, he has done a lot.At least it was not a trivial matter when he plotted against Hongshi.

Pulled out Gao Hui, the untimely bomb around him, except for hidden dangers; by the way, he made Hongshi suffer, hit Yongzheng's oldest son, and made him notorious; he also used Yongzheng's hand to hit Gao The forces behind Hui, regardless of whether Gao Hui is from Prince Cheng's side or Hongxi's people, neither of them pleases them.

But in Yongzheng's eyes, this matter would not be what he would like to see.

The young brother has too many thoughts and ideas, and he can even plot against his elder son.The existence of such a younger brother is definitely a huge threat to the smooth inheritance of the throne in the future.

Moreover, it is also a great taboo for a king to be a knife in the hands of others and borrow power.

If Yongzheng knew that the matter between Hongshi and Gao Hui was the result of his own calculations, how would he deal with it?Yin Qi raised his eyes carefully to look at Yongzheng, but saw that he looked peaceful, without any emotional disturbance, and really couldn't tell whether he knew or not.

In fact, why Yongzheng called him here on purpose, and said these irrelevant words, Yin Qi also didn't understand.For a while, Yinqi just wanted to make Yongzheng more direct, and to speak clearly.Straightforward, isn't it in line with Yongzheng's temper?

And what Yongzheng said was too hasty, what did he do?

Yin Qi pursed his lips, but lowered his head.Since you don't know how to answer, then it's really hard to say anything.

Yongzheng said with a serious face: "You don't believe me, but we will see in the future."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and said, "You should go back to study too."

Yinqi had no choice but to say yes and leave.

~~~~~~~

Walking on the road, Yin Qi only felt that his feet were light and light, as if he was dreaming and had no sense of reality.

Yongzheng specially called him here, is it possible that it was to say those two sentences?It's unbelievable.Yongzheng is not so boring...

He vaguely felt in his heart that what Yongzheng meant, Yongzheng must be implying something.But after thinking about it over and over again, I still can't figure out what it means, what it implies.

Hong Zhou was standing at the intersection in front of him, talking to a little Sula next to him. When he saw Yin Qi, he waved his hand to let the little Sula go, then greeted him, and asked, "Why did Uncle 23 come out so quickly?" Is it? I am still thinking, what is the emperor looking for you to teach me, I am afraid that I will have to wait for a long time."

Yin Qi shook his hand and said with a smile: "Then why don't you go back first? Are you still waiting for me here?"

Hong Zhou sighed: "It was originally my idea to come here, but I didn't eat any delicious food, and I was frightened for a while. This also caused Uncle 23 to be called to speak by the emperor. If I leave first, It's not that unkind."

Yin Qi couldn't help laughing, and said, "You think you're talking about a book? You still have a sense of loyalty."

Just saying this in his mouth, his heart moved, and he suddenly seemed to understand something.

The so-called things that are too early to be rushed... Could it be that he and Hong Zhou...

So, Yongzheng was a little dissatisfied with them being too close?

Yin Qi couldn't help thinking of the reason why the lineage of Prince Yu gradually declined back then, and being too close to Prince Lian might also be an important reason...

Yin Qi was engrossed in his thoughts for a moment, and stared at Hong Zhou in a daze.

Hong Zhou touched his forehead, then looked at his whole body, wondering, and asked: "Uncle 23, what's wrong with me? Why are you looking at me like that, it makes me feel hairy!"

Yin Qi thought about it for a few times, and raised his hand to press Hongzhou's shoulder before he wanted to speak, but a person hurried over from the other side, and looked closely, who else could it be if it wasn't Zhang Zhenchun?

Zhang Zhenchun ran all the way in front of Yinqi and Hongzhou, and then stopped, panting: "Master! It's not good! News came from Beijing that Grandpa Li Dequan cut his braids and said he was going to die for the late emperor!"

Because of the previous affection, Yin Qi also asked someone to inquire about Li Dequan.Now that Kangxi was gone, Li Dequan's identity changed immediately, but few people paid attention to him, and the news was easy to inquire about.

Ordinarily, after Kangxi passed away, the eunuchs who served him had only two options: burial and vigil.It's just that some eunuchs, not just Kangxi's master, naturally have another way out.

For example, Xing Nian, now he is still the chief eunuch, working in front of Yongzheng, and he is equally decent.

However, Wei Zhu, since Yongzheng scolded Concubine Yi for kneeling in front of the Empress Dowager when he was keeping the coffin that day, and ordered people to pull him down to teach him the rules, he has never heard of him again.Probably because he knew something he shouldn't know, or he was really as Yin Qi thought, there were too many boats under his feet, and he finally fell into the water.

But Li Dequan didn't have a second master, so naturally there would be no one to help him manage his future and save his life.Zhang Zhenchun probably wasn't lying when he said that he was going to die for Kangxi.At this time, Li Dequan really had no better way out.

He has been by Kangxi's side for decades, and he knows some insider secrets, probably more than Yongzheng.Even if he didn't want to die, many people would not let him live.

In addition, he was indeed loyal to Kangxi, and Kangxi was probably the only one in his heart.When Kangxi passed away, I am afraid that Li Dequan was more sad than any of Kangxi's children and grandchildren.

Moreover, he did not seek death immediately after Kangxi passed away, and the fact that he was able to wait until now to say that he would be buried was probably not impulsive, but he had thought clearly.

Yin Qi thought back to what he had said to Li Dequan when Kangxi was still there. Li Dequan couldn't help but sigh because he cared about Kangxi from the bottom of his heart.

Then he nodded and said: "I'm afraid he has made up his mind, otherwise we can't let this word out. Li Aanda is really loyal to the late emperor, so we can't say anything..."

After thinking for a while, Yinqi said: "Zhang Zhenchun, you go to find Yuhong, take 200 taels of silver, and send it to Li Adada to make a package. By the way, I heard that he took a grandson out to raise him? You go and inquire about the character of that child, if it is good, you can say hello to King Jiajun and give him a future, which can be regarded as reassuring Li Wenda."

Then he turned to Hong Zhou and said, "If you have any orders, you have always told Zhang Zhenchun. Anyway, Li Dequan has been by the late emperor's side for so many years, and he will serve the late emperor as our descendants. Let us also express our heart. "

Hong Zhou nodded, but said again: "I'm just afraid that the emperor won't agree. Li Dequan, don't be too simple-minded, and die immediately if you say something. Otherwise, death will be in vain, and maybe he can't be buried next to the late emperor. Son."

Seeing Yinqi looking at him, Hong Zhou said, "I remember hearing people say that in the 13th year of Kangxi, the late emperor abolished the rule of martyrdom, didn't he? When Prince Lian went back and forth for the funeral a few days ago, the emperor still Speaking of which, it is better not to be martyred even if you are a slave or maidservant, this is the kindness of the late emperor. If Li Dequan is martyred at this time, isn't it true that the emperor's words are all in vain?"

After hearing this, Yinqi couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

This is true, people in the palace cannot help themselves, even death cannot die.Li Dequan was loyal, but in Yongzheng's eyes, he was afraid that it would only hinder Kangxi and his own reputation.

Hong Zhou said again: "However, I think Li Dequan also knows, otherwise he wouldn't have let the word out first. About this time, the emperor has got the letter, and it depends on how the emperor will deal with it."

~~~~~~~

After all, Li Dequan failed to die, and Yongzheng asked him to go to Fengxian Hall to look at Kangxi's memorial tablet.Because of Li Dequan, Yongzheng remembered the two places of the Palace of Compassion and Ningshou, as well as the nuns and maids who had been serving Empress Xiaohuizhang, the Empress Dowager Borzigit, had not yet been settled at this time. Yongzheng arranged for these nuns to serve Kangxi's princes.

Yinqi finally had an educated nanny by his side, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.But fortunately, the ones who were assigned here were Jin Nanny, who had taken him with him when he was young, and Hu Nanny, who was the best-tempered by the Queen Mother's side.These two have no backer, so naturally they are much more polite.

Because there was an outsider again, Yinqi thought about some things, but still didn't say anything.It's just that he himself is a lot more careful. He pays more attention to propriety when talking and doing things on weekdays, and when getting along with Hong Zhou.

After all, they are uncles and nephews, not brothers. If they get too close, they will cause taboo, but it will really be a bad thing.When Yongzheng warned at that time, no matter whether he thought that Yinqi planned for Hongzhou too early, he meant it as a warning, or he meant something else, Yinqi felt that he should be careful.

There is no big mistake in being careful, so just be a cautious person.

As for whether Hong Zhou would feel awkward and uncomfortable, thinking that Yin Qi was estranged from him and not getting close to him—Yin Qi felt that Hong Zhou's affection for him was not as deep as he said.

As a child who grew up in a deep palace compound, Hong Zhou's words—especially those involving feelings—are in his ears, and he can only believe it to five points.

The spring in Beijing is very short. The flowers bloom at first, and then wither, and it is summer in a blink of an eye.

In early summer, it suddenly became hot.It's only May, but it seems to be midsummer, and it's so hot that people feel panicked.

In the past few days, when I greeted you, I saw that Yongzheng had lost a lot of weight.He was originally suffering from a bitter summer, and the busy work these days made it even more difficult.Gyeonggi is in a severe drought, and the government is busy; the matter of tracking down the deficit is still hanging in the air, and people need to worry about it all the time; the northwest is not stable, and the queen mother fell ill again a few days before her death.

Troublesome things all rushed together, seeing Yongzheng's face was so thin that it sunk in, but everyone who saw him was worried.

Yinqi is no exception, and there is another thing in his heart.

According to historical time, the Queen Mother passed away in this month of the year.

It has been more than nine years since time travel. Yin Qi didn't know much about Qing history at first, and even forgot a lot of things at this time.Just remember Concubine De, the current Empress Dowager, should have passed away in May of the first year of Yongzheng.It seems to be because, in history, Yongzheng asked the fourteenth elder brother to guard the mausoleum in Jingling and was not allowed to return to Beijing, so the queen mother was so angry and annoyed that she couldn't afford to get sick.

Originally, he thought that the fourteenth elder brother had already appointed Prince Gong, and he was still haunting Yongzheng these days, wanting to go back to the northwest, so he couldn't be sent to Jingling immediately.The queen mother should not get angry with Yongzheng because of this, and then get sick and die.

But it was all right, but news came from the city that the Queen Mother was ill.And listening to the voice, it seems that the illness is still not serious, and he has been groggy for several days, reminiscent of the time when Kangxi was about to die.

Yinqi looked at Yongzheng's worried appearance, and he was even more worried.

I expected to have changed some things in history, but I also vaguely felt that history would always return to the original track-it seemed that all the things I had done were useless.

If you can only change some insignificant details in history, but cannot change the fate of key figures, then it is even more difficult to change the future of the entire country and the entire nation.

Could it be that history really has its own error correction system?

Amid wild thoughts, Yinqi followed Yongzheng back to the capital.The Empress Dowager was ill, and even though Yongzheng was the emperor, he was still a son, so he naturally wanted to show his filial piety and go to bedside to serve the sick.

On the first day back to Beijing, Yin Qi followed to Ningshou Palace.Prince Gong's fourteenth elder brother has been guarding the Queen Mother's bed for several days.It was announced at the door that the emperor had arrived, and Prince Gong also came out to welcome him. From a long distance, he could see two dark circles under his eyes, and his appearance seemed to have shrunk a lot.

When Yongzheng called out, Prince Gong stood up.Seeing Yongzheng's appearance clearly, he was startled.

Then he took two steps closer, with concerned eyes, and said: "Your Majesty... the most important thing is to take care of yourself. There are servants around the Empress Dowager anyway, so the Emperor only needs to worry about the affairs of the court." gone."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were a little strange.Especially Empress Nala, who twisted her veil with embarrassment.She was supposed to say this, but Prince Gong said it.
