Breeze

When Yongzheng returned to the capital, the excuse for face was naturally that the Queen Mother passed away, and when he came back to attend the funeral, when everyone greeted him outside the city gate, they also looked at him with a sad face.But after returning to the palace, facing Prince Yi, Prince Jiajun, Wangzhuang, Yinqi and other close people, he immediately darkened his face, and said after a while: "The stability of Beijing is thanks to you guys."

When Yinqi heard the words, he quickly hid behind King Jiajun, and heard several elder brothers saying that he didn't dare.Knowing that Yongzheng is unwilling to lie in front of acquaintances, he also knows that he is sincerely thanking him at this time.It's just because of this that I didn't dare to suffer. After all, this is the emperor's thanks.And looking at the expression on his face, he must be sad in his heart, it's better to be careful at this time.

Yongzheng sighed again, his voice was a little hoarse, and he said in a deep voice: "I thought that the old fourteen shouldn't... but I don't know that he still has such evil intentions! This time it's even more... that he dared to poison his brothers and sisters." My nephew, I didn't know but I was harmed..."

Before he finished a sentence, his voice was slightly choked with sobs.Yongzheng quickly turned his face away, raised his sleeves and wiped his tears.Yin Qi opened his eyes wide, feeling suffocated in his heart.When he came back to his senses, Prince Yi and King Jiajun who were beside him had already been busy consoling him, expressing their condolences, and Yinqi also quickly agreed.After everyone persuaded, Yongzheng slowly calmed down and calmed down.

Seeing that he was not as hurt as before, King Jiajun said cautiously: "Your Majesty, don't blame Prince Gong too much. He didn't have such a cruel heart, but in fact he was with the concubine..."

When Yongzheng heard this, he immediately slapped the edge of the kang with his palm, his black eyes were full of anger, and he shouted sharply: "Concubine He! Where is that bitch right now?"

He said angrily again: "She must not be the only one who dares to be so bold! Let the old fourteen ask her!"

King Jiajun hurriedly replied: "Because the empress is not in the inner palace, the servants and others dare not be presumptuous, and the concubine and the concubine were originally under the care of Concubine Rong. Prince Gong had already gone to interrogate him a while ago, but I don’t know what was asked and what the result was.”

Yongzheng gritted his teeth, his chest heaved for a while, and suddenly he looked a little discouraged, his eyes dimmed.Two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks, but he still didn't know it.He didn't realize until the tears reached his chin, and hurriedly raised his sleeve to wipe them away.

Unable to restrain himself for a while, Yongzheng could only barely choke his voice and said: "I have been on the throne for two years. I think that although I am not as wise as the late emperor, I am still trembling and dare not act recklessly. I can barely make the world peaceful and the people survive. That's it. They are not convinced, and if they want to replace them, they can talk to me. With such a burden, I am really willing to carry the world? If there are wise people, I will leave it to them. But why do they keep saying loyalty, filial piety, and brotherhood? This kind of thing about the wall can't be stopped?"

Yin Qi peeked at his expression, really sad, but really couldn't tell whether he was really sad, or just pretending.Although I know this, I just feel that I feel the same in my heart, suffocating and painful.I couldn't help but sighed a little, I didn't know why, after thinking about it for a while to no avail, I thought maybe it was Yongzheng who was really good at acting.

Or there was some pain on his face, which attracted people's attention, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Yongzheng looking over.Yongzheng looked at Yinqi, his eyes flashed.

Yin Qi quickly lowered his head, his heart was beating wildly, his whole body was tense, but he dared not make a sound.He took another step back and stood silently behind King Jiajun.

The people around were also silent, and only heard Yongzheng's sigh for a while.After a while, I felt that Yongzheng looked away, and heard him let out a sigh of relief, saying: "Forget it, from today onwards, it's really only a matter of kindness and righteousness! Old Seventeen, you are leading Zongzheng now, and all matters will be handled by you." Yes. My heart hurts, I really... can't make up my mind."

Prince Zhuang quickly responded, and Yongzheng said again: "Just now it was said that the old fourteen went to interrogate the concubine He? You can't rest assured! The seventeenth should go to Haosheng to ask clearly, and the people behind the concubine must not be let go." !"

As he spoke, a look of violence flashed across his face, his eyes narrowed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you poison and assassinate me! Not only my brothers and sons, but also the queen mother... I will definitely let that person's body be broken into pieces." !"

Yin Qi watched, at this time, no matter whether it was true or not, in Yongzheng's heart, he had already put this crime on Prince Lian's head.He didn't dare to look at King Jiajun's expression, he only breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and was a little worried about himself.

Then a little involuntarily, he looked up at Yongzheng.But it was unlucky to meet the eyes that Yongzheng was looking at.For a while, Yinqi forgot to turn away, and only met Yongzheng's eyes.

After a while, there was a little smile in Yongzheng's eyes, and Yinqi came back to his senses, and quickly lowered his head again.But I don't know why he is laughing, maybe there is something on his face?

After thinking about it for a while, Yongzheng has already talked about Hongshi.After he opened his mouth, only mentioning Hongshi's name, Yongzheng stopped and remained silent for a long time.Yin Qi looked at him and couldn't hide his sadness, thinking that this was really uncomfortable.Betrayed by his own son as a father, I really don't know how Yong Zheng felt tormented when he planned to wipe out Prince Gong and Hong Shi together.

Presumably Yongzheng didn't want to mention Hongshi too much, so he explained the matter of investigating Hongshi in a few dry words, but he choked up his voice a little while speaking, and coughed quickly to cover it up.

It was a fake cough, but after coughing twice, it really blocked my throat.Yongzheng drank a few sips of tea with Gao Wuyong's hand next to him, took a breather, pointed at Hongli and said, "Come here and let me see your face, does it still hurt now?"

Hongli hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Going back to Emperor Father, it's already all right."

He showed Yongzheng the injured cheek again, and Yongzheng took a look at it twice before saying, "It's good to have a baby."

Then he said: "Today let you two—"

After a pause, he pointed at Yinqi again, and then said: "There is also the old 23. I asked you all to come here today, not just because of your suffering, but to ask how your health is. There is one more thing, I I thought I would let you go out on errands by yourself next year, but you have seen what happened a few days ago, and you should have gained some insight. It's time!"

Yongzheng tapped his fingers on the edge of the kang, thinking, and said in his mouth: "It's still the same as before, Hongli is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, because Hongshi's things are not useful, Hongli also followed Prince Chun to the Ministry of Rites to have a look. The empress dowager's funeral, such a big event, is not an easy job. The Ministry of Rites has something to do with it. Lao Qi is seriously ill. We can't let Lao Qi drag his illness back and forth. After so long, I should be able to stand on my own."

After pondering for a moment, Yongzheng stared at Yinqi with a pair of deep black eyes, and said slowly: "If there is no old thirteen, all the affairs of the household department will be impossible. I can't rest assured if I leave it to someone else. It's just In this way, he is inseparable. He cares about himself. Yunqi, are you willing to take on the job of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Yinqi was startled, he didn't dare to look at the expression of King Jiajun, and instinctively wanted to shirk.

Yongzheng said again: "You have also been in the household department for so many days. If you still don't know what you should learn, it is really a waste of teaching the old thirteen for so long. Then you go back to the Minister's study to read yours. Go to the book, I dare not use you anymore."

Glancing at King Jiajun, Yongzheng said: "Of course the old sixteen has his errand, you don't have to be afraid of robbing him of his errand and letting him relax for nothing. I don't dare to let you alone for internal affairs. The half-grown child has full control, but the old thirteen can't be bothered about it anymore. I vaguely remember that your grandfather's family is also a servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but you are cheaper."

Yinqi looked carefully at Yongzheng, and sure enough, he didn't mean to be joking at all, and he really wanted him to work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Looking at King Jiajun again, his expression was calm, and there was no surprise on his face.He also remembered that in the past half-hour, King Jiajun was relieved that he was the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs alone, and it turned out that he had known that Yongzheng had such a plan for a long time.

I couldn't help but feel a little happy in my heart, it seems that Yongzheng can still trust him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to let himself take over the Ministry of Internal Affairs.For a moment, he wanted to grit his teeth, why he was always treated as a child, and everything was kept secret.Just like Prince Gong's treason this time, even Hong Zhou and Hong Li knew something about such a big matter, but he became an outsider and knew nothing about it.

Thinking of this, the original joy is also dimmed, but it also adds a little discouragement.

Just looking up, Yongzheng was still looking at him, Yinqi quickly said yes, thank you.

But seeing the corners of Yongzheng's mouth slightly raised, he didn't pay attention to his distraction.Waiting for him to thank you, he snorted again on purpose, and said: "I thought you wouldn't dare to be unruly. After all, people live in elder brother's house, and if there is something wrong, someone will bring it over immediately, and no one else needs to do it. , I took advantage of the opportunity to criticize papers, and beat you up!"

After hearing this, Yinqi seemed to be deliberately threatening, as if he was talking to a child.Immediately, he was a little dumbfounded, and hurriedly said: "I really don't dare. I must always follow the emperor's teachings, and never dare or forget."

Yongzheng nodded, and said again: "Since you mentioned your grandfather just now, you will make a report tomorrow, and I will nominate him as a Langguan. Don't be shy about anything. They say that you can't avoid relatives with internal promotion. I still have your temperament." I know. If you want anything, just mention it.”

He also ordered Prince Yi, Prince Zhuang, and Prince Jiajun to do their own errands. It turns out that King Jiajun was sent by Yongzheng to investigate Prince Gong.The strange thing is that he is no longer in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After such an investigation, there are so many things involved and he is so busy that the Ministry of Internal Affairs really has no way to take care of it.

After saying this, Yongzheng became tired, and Prince Yi said: "The Emperor also learned the news that the Empress Dowager was ill yesterday, so he never rested. Now the servants are all worried about the Emperor's health, so the Emperor should close his eyes."

Yongzheng sighed: "Why don't I want to have a rest? It's just this mess...someone will keep me from resting!"

Prince Yi hurriedly said: "Everything is handled by servants, the emperor should pay more attention to rest. Now that it is going to be summer again, it is time to recuperate..."

Yongzheng frowned and waved his hands, saying: "Understood. You all go down, I am really upset, it's good to have a rest."

After he said so, everyone quickly left.Yinqi also went out, then turned around, but heard Yongzheng calling from behind: "Yunqi, you stay, I still have something to ask you."

~~~~~~~

Hearing this, Yinqi hurriedly turned his head, and waited for Prince Yi and others to go out before Yongzheng waved and said, "Come here, I don't have the energy to speak loudly to you."

When Yinqi came closer, Yongzheng raised his arm and was rubbing the center of his eyebrows.Putting down his hand, he pointed to Yinqi's face and asked: "I saw it just now, what did you do to your face? There are still slap marks, why, someone hit you? Is it the old fourteenth?"

Seeing that Yongzheng had already frowned, Yinqi said quickly: "How can it be. Prince Gong has no time to trouble me now. It turned out that he was playing with King Jiajun in the middle of the morning, so he was careless."

Yongzheng frowned even more when he heard this, staring at the mark on Yinqi's face and said: "You are also going to be the chief official and do errands for me. If you continue to behave like this, it will be disrespectful! If you talk about jokes in the future, you It's not too young, don't you think it's embarrassing?"

Without waiting for Yinqi to answer, Yongzheng said again: "Because I mentioned this, I can't help saying a few words about you. Even if you don't know the situation, you really dare to look for the old fourteen? Do you know who he is? You are lucky, I heard from the news that when you went to find him and brought him into the palace, you were really afraid that your life would be in his hands!"

He sighed again.Yin Qi listened, but suddenly felt warm in his heart, very ironic.

I thought that Yongzheng kept him here because he wanted to ask his teacher for his crimes, but he didn't know that there were such words at the beginning, so he was really overjoyed.He blinked and was about to speak when Yongzheng stopped him again.

I just heard him say: "Usually, you are very cautious. When you talk to me, you are trembling and disturbing. How dare you be so bold that you don't care about anything, and don't care about anything?"

She stretched out her hand and pulled Yin Qi closer, and then she patted the back of her head with her hand.Yongzheng said: "This reminds me that when the first emperor passed away, you were so silent and dared to argue with the queen mother. It is because of you that I have less trouble .Maybe it was because I didn't give you a good explanation at that time, which made you dare to be so bold."

Yinqi lowered his head under his hand, and said with a low laugh: "Your Majesty, how could it be the same these two times. Besides, I... this servant also has plans, so I dare to go to Prince Gong..."

Yongzheng cut it off: "How dare you say it! When you were the queen mother at that time, she couldn't kill you? It was just for the sake of the concubine Jingtai, and I didn't care about you! You really dare not if you are the old fourteenth this time." Kill you? It's just your luck!"

There was some hatred in his voice, Yongzheng sighed, and said, "You! You say you are smart all day long, but I see that you are the most stupid person!"

Yin Qi bowed his head, not daring to speak any more, just staring at the golden dragon embroidered on the hem of Yongzheng's clothes in a daze.Such a situation suddenly seemed to be back when Kangxi was still there.But listening to Yongzheng's words, his hands were still on his neck, and he clearly knew that this was not Kangxi, so the feeling in his heart was also somewhat indescribably different.

I heard Yongzheng sighing in my ears: "Xu Shi should speak plainly to you today, lest you still think about it by yourself."
