Breeze

Yongzheng frowned and said, "Abandon the prince? But what do you think of him?"

Yin Qi sighed, "It's embarrassing to say the least. I haven't seen Yun Qi since he was born. This is also my elder brother. Thinking of Hong Shi, this incident is not a trivial matter. If we decide to If you are charged with a crime, wouldn’t it mean you will be imprisoned for a lifetime? In the future, a little elder brother Xiao Gege will be born, and he will be like Yunqi. He has an older brother, but he has never seen him before."

He lowered his voice even more, and Yinqi continued: "Although the third elder brother is ignorant and doesn't know how to be filial, the emperor's fatherly heart cannot be left behind. If that's the case, isn't the emperor... Uncomfortable? A few years ago when the late emperor was still there, every time he mentioned Prince Limi, he would feel sad for a while. Yunqi didn't want to see him, and so did the emperor..."

What he said at this time was the most sincere thing.

When he first ran over, it was to tell Yongzheng about it, but when he arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yongzheng already knew about it, and was so furious again, Yinqi just thought about how to calm him down.

After all, anger hurts the body, and for the sake of Hongshi, it's really... not worth it.

Furthermore, just as Yinqi said, in a fit of anger, Yongzheng must have banned Hongshi, which would not be good for his own reputation.He was already criticized by others, but if he made a fuss to imprison the prince, he would be gossiping even more.

In this way, even if you are not sad at first, you will be annoyed when you hear gossip.Kangxi has been troubled for a few years to abolish the prince, Yongzheng has always liked to keep things on his mind, so naturally it will only be more uncomfortable.

After finishing speaking, Yin Qi was taken aback by himself.How dare you say such a thing?

His heart was beating wildly, his hands and feet felt cold, he choked his voice for a moment, and he didn't dare to say anything else.

After a while, I saw Yongzheng raised his hand, pressed it on the back of his hand, and held his hand in the palm of his hand.

After a long time, Yin Qi felt the warmth from Yongzheng's hand, and was so shocked that he didn't feel anything.

I heard Yongzheng say in my ear: "It's rare for you to be so well-behaved... It's because I'm not blessed... Sigh, things like Hongshi..."

The voice was full of sighs, and the words were intermittent, and Yin Qi didn't care to think about what he wanted to say, so he hurriedly said: "The emperor is blessed with great blessings, this is just a small hurdle..."

~~~~~~~

Xu Shizhen remembered the misery of the deposed prince after he was imprisoned, even though it was actually found out that Hongshi and Prince Lian had privately communicated, Yongzheng did not order him to be imprisoned.

In the end, Yongzheng pretended not to know, and still let Hongshi think about his mistakes behind closed doors at his elder brother's house.On the contrary, Prince Yu Baotai, who was only slightly involved, was deposed for his crime, and his disciple Guangning succeeded as Prince Yu.

Everyone thought that Yongzheng's disposal of Prince Yu was to take the punishment on Hongshi's behalf, but Hongshi had nothing to do with it this time.Just after the New Year's Eve, Yongzheng decreed that Prince Lian would have no heirs, and the third elder brother would succeed Prince Lian.

After that, it was as if he had never had this son, and he never asked Hongshi again.

Yinqi was in charge of Hongshi's departure from the palace, sighing and feeling helpless.

After all, Yongzheng was frustrated with Hongshi, so he was succeeded.If this continues, will Prince Lian also be unable to escape his fate in history?So what should we do with the imperial edict left by Kangxi?

Thinking about it for a while, it was really a dilemma.On the one hand, it was Kangxi's last wish. He certainly didn't want to see his sons kill each other, and he didn't want his chosen successor to bear the reputation of killing his brothers. Yinqi hoped to fulfill his wish for him.The other party is Yongzheng. If Yinqi is the Prince Lian and so on, will Yongzheng regard it as a betrayal?

Ever since Kangxi passed away, whenever he thought of his will, Yinqi couldn't help being upset.In the end, he simply put the edict into the bottom of the box, out of sight.It's just that when I see the plain clothes on my body, I always think of Kangxi, so I feel bored and feel guilty.

Fortunately, the period of filial piety is coming to an end, and it happens that at Gengwu in February, the sun and the moon will unite, and the five stars will unite the pearls. Yongzheng is very happy.At Gengchen in February, Yongzheng took three years of obedience and performed sacrifices.It was only then that Yinqi was able to take off the plain clothes he had been wearing for several years. After the ceremony, he changed into the Belleji clothes he packed up in advance.

The spring breeze is warm and the sun is warm, but the court is full of chills.Last year, Nian Gengyao was transferred back to the capital, and now the results have been achieved.Leaving the army, leaving his own lair, and being held up by Yongzheng's superb wrist, Nian Gengyao, who has lost his sobriety and reason, is a tiger without minions. After removing his minions, it will be his turn. own up.

Finding excuses to punish crimes is what Yongzheng is best at. A "work in the morning and watch in the evening" was mistakenly written as "work in the evening and work in the morning". Qian Xi was wary of Xu Zhen's ears. The achievements of Nian Gengyao and Qinghai are also between what I promised and what I did not allow. It is unknown. It is obviously disrespectful, but he understands it."His military achievements have also become dispensable. Gansu governor Hu Qiheng was dismissed, and acting Sichuan governor Natai was transferred back to Beijing to remove Gengyao's cronies for these years.In April, Yongzheng dismissed Nian Gengyao as governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and ordered him to hand over the seal of General Fuyuan and transfer him to General Hangzhou.

At this moment, who doesn't know that Nian Gengyao has completely lost his heart.There is no power to rely on, and people are in Hangzhou, where there is no root and bottomless, and officials inside and outside have exposed their crimes one after another.

So Nian Gengyao was demoted nine ranks in one day, and became a pawn guarding the city gate in Hangzhou.

So far, Yongzheng has finally vented his anger.All the ministers close to him could vaguely see that since Nian Gengyao's misfortune and accidents, Yongzheng has been refreshed.In fact, Yongzheng had a long-standing grudge against Nian Gengyao.

Back then when the reserve position was unclear, although Nian Gengyao was said to be a disciple of Yongzheng, he was capricious and had a close relationship with Prince Lian and others.If Nian Shi hadn't been given to Yongzheng by Kangxi, and Nian Gengyao had been tied to Yongzheng's side, I'm afraid he would still be vacillating.

Such a person, who was born with a lot of power in his hand, and able to fight well, is really inseparable. How could he not arouse Yongzheng's hatred.

I'm afraid Yongzheng hated Nian Gengyao even more than Prince Lian, Prince Gong and others.

The Nian family fell, and everyone in the House of Internal Affairs was also happy.Firstly, there is no need to flatter the Nian family, and they are often ruled and blackmailed by the Nian family's father-in-law and uncles; secondly, there is no need to pay attention to the Nian concubine-this master and empress is really extraordinary in finding trouble.

Seeing that Concubine Nian has fallen out of favor, everyone in the harem naturally felt that the opportunity had come.It's a toss, but it's a pity that Empress Nala really knows how to pour cold water on her, and issued a decree, saying that there is a shortage of palaces and that she will be drafted this year.

When the draft was first mentioned, Yin Qi looked on coldly, and Yongzheng was half happy and half worried about it.Happily, he also disliked the fact that the harem was full of familiar faces, and they were not too young, and they had no face.What is worrying is that he is afraid that people will say that he is lustful, and he has just passed the filial piety period, so he has to arrange the draft, which is a waste of people and money.

Nalashi rolled his eyes, pointed at Yin Qi who was smiling to himself, and said, "Actually speaking, I am not as virtuous as the emperor thinks. The idea of ​​the draft is only after seeing them. Brothers come out." After the filial piety period, isn’t it time to start a family? The emperor is busy, and he doesn’t care about these trivial matters. If I don’t worry about it, I will be unloving.”

Yongzheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "At the beginning, the late emperor praised you as a sister-in-law like a mother, but now it looks really good."

Yinqi really sat at home with nothing to do, and the disaster came from the sky, so he was speechless for a while.Nala's family is really too virtuous, and actually used his "son" as a shield for Yongzheng.

Since both Yongzheng and Nala had made a decision, the subordinates could only get busy even if they were unwilling.Although the triennial general election is presided over by the Ministry of Household Affairs, but in the palace, it is still the Ministry of Internal Affairs who actually worry about errands?Yin Qi was full of complaints, but he had nowhere to vent. When he saw Yongzheng again, he complained a little.

~~~~~~~

In the blink of an eye, midsummer passed, and autumn entered in August, and the coolness gradually grew. It was originally a bleak season.It's just that girls of the right age from banner people from all over the country have entered the palace, and the colors in the Forbidden City are immediately brightened, which is even more lively than in summer.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is full of complicated matters related to the draft, which are extremely trivial, and when the autumn tiger comes, he is buried in the volumes every day, and his mind is irritable. Yin Qi actually thinks that this is the scorching heat.

Coming out of the courtyard of the House of Internal Affairs, Yin Qi got into the sedan chair.Because it was too stuffy, the car curtains were not allowed to be lowered, and by the way, I could see the scenery outside from the inside.

The big garden in front of the Compassionate Ning Palace is even more beautiful than in previous years, remembering that he often played here when he was a child, Yin Qi was a little fascinated by it.I just felt a sway, and then came back to my senses, the sedan chair had stopped, Yin Qi looked outside, the eunuchs who carried the sedan chair and led the way were all kneeling, Su Yao also hurried over to help him get off the sedan chair.

Who did you meet?

It will never be Yongzheng.Although he is in the city now and didn't go to the garden, he doesn't have so much free time to wander around the palace.

It shouldn't be Empress Nala, looking at the sky, she should be in Yikun Palace at this time, early morning is the time when all concubines and princes and princesses pay their respects.

The one who is domineering in the palace should now be...

After getting off the sedan chair, Yin Qi swept his eyes, and saw Fu Hui who was held by the mother and protected in her arms.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Yin Qi smiled and said, "Why is it such a coincidence that I met Eighth Brother playing here?"

Fuhui said sharply: "Your slaves really don't know the rules! Seeing me walking on the road, they don't know how to give way! Let them open their mouths! If you don't kowtow to me, don't care about it!"

Yinqi twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Since they are disrespectful to the eighth elder brother, how can it be regarded as punishment if they just slap a few mouths?"

Then he looked down at the eunuchs carrying the sedan chairs, and said coldly: "You guys, I still need you now. When the sedan chairs arrive, you all go to the respect room for me, so that I can learn what is rule!"

Glancing at Fuhui, Yinqi said: "I still have some things to do here, so I won't be here soon. It's hot today, so don't stand in the sun, if it's hot, it will be another day sickness."

As he said that, he turned around and was about to get into the sedan chair. Fuhui cried out behind him, wanting to find Yongzheng to vent his anger on him.Yinqi felt amused, this Fuhui was really raised by the concubine Nian so ignorant of the world, now that Nian Gengyao has become a pawn guarding the city gate, is he still the same as before?At this moment, Yin Qi no longer needs to pay him back for being careful, so what if he is in front of Yongzheng?Let's see who Yongzheng is more interested in.

Walking far away, Yinqi sighed outside: "You said you guys, you have been with me for so long, why do you let me clean up the mess for you! That eighth elder brother is in trouble, but you still don't Know to be careful?"

The eunuchs who were carrying the sedan chair naturally didn't dare to defend themselves, but Yin Qi also knew that it must be Fuhui himself who came up to provoke him, so he just said a few casual words at this time.Su Yao said from the side: "The slaves have made a note of this time."

When he arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yinqi straightened his clothes and let people know.I don't know what's the matter, but after the morning court, I want him to come to see you again.After a while, the call came in, and Yinqi walked in, turned around the screen, and looked up to see Yongzheng changing clothes.

He was tall and slender, and because of the bitter summer, he was a little thinner than in spring, and he was wearing dark blue clothes, making him look even thinner.With a jade-white complexion, it only makes people feel that his temperament is cold, high above, and out of reach.

Seeing Yinqi, Yongzheng lowered his arm, waved his hand away from the eunuch who was dressing him, stretched out his hand to fasten the buckle, pointed to the hat on the desk, and said, "Bring it here."

Yinqi took the hat, walked up to him, and raised his hand to put it on for Yongzheng.It's not the first time he has been doing this job of serving Yongzheng, and the original nervousness and caution are gone.He just smiled and said, "It's time for the emperor to shave his head again."

Yongzheng responded with a nasal voice, turned around and looked in the mirror, and said, "Come on. Let's go to the Tirentang next door. There is an important matter, and the queen wants to go over it together."

I didn't know why I came here, but what Yongzheng said at this time was even more confusing. Yinqi was taken aback, and Yongzheng had already walked to the door.Yinqi hurriedly followed, left the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and went to the Hall of Body Ren.

Empress Nala had been waiting in the Tiren Hall for a long time. As soon as Yongzheng entered, she saluted, then she just looked at Yinqi and smiled and said, "Don't frown, Yunqi, it's a good thing today, it's you Should be happy."

Yinqi hurriedly made a smile, but he was puzzled in his heart.

On the front of Yong, he suddenly looked ugly, coughed deliberately, and said, "What kind of happy event is this? Don't talk nonsense!"

Nala's face was embarrassing, and he pointed to the chair next to Yinqi to sit down, then lowered his head and stopped talking.

Yongzheng stared at Yinqi for a long time, until Yinqi felt cold all over, and then said: "Speaking of which, I shouldn't have told you about this matter, it should have been discussed by the empress and Concubine Jing. I ask what you mean. But you should also know that the Northwest has always been important, and if it gets involved, I will inevitably give you a few words."

Then he made a phone call, it was nothing more than the importance of the Northwest, the unrest in the Mongolian tribes in the Northwest, and the people on the grasslands are so tough, but now the Eight Banners are declining day by day, and if a fight is really going to hurt both sides, so some things are really true. As a last resort.

As he said, Yin Qi just nodded in agreement, but he really didn't know what the meaning was.
