I became a group pet after dressing as nine elder brothers

Since returning from Prince Darhan's mansion, he learned of the changes in Galdan, and the courtiers of the imperial family who were assassinated by the emperor were shocked a lot. Yin Wei Jiqi of Shuntian Mansion naturally also knew about it.

The Minister of Internal Affairs, Fei Yanggu, stepped up the garrison arrangements for the capital after he took over as the admiral of the Nine Gates. Yin Wei Jiqi of Shuntian Prefecture also joined in and cooperated. The officers and soldiers took turns patrolling the streets in plain clothes. .

Although no big fish was caught, many thieves and thieves were caught and even a few murdered gangsters were caught in the past half a month.

Not to mention that Yin Wei Jiqi of Shuntian Prefecture, who has tasted the sweetness, is planning to write a booklet and make this plainclothes patrol as a separate project?It would be better to replace personnel regularly :)

Because of this, he did not dare to neglect when he got the news.

Yin Wei Jiqi of Shuntian Mansion immediately dispatched a few policemen with stable personalities and outstanding abilities.Following Yinzhen and the others' instructions, they secretly followed the young man.

The young son was obviously in a bad mood.

Along the way, I saw shops selling all kinds of glazed products, soap and skin care products, dairy products, and sweet potato snacks. Of course, places like garbage disposal stations and public toilets, if you pass by, you have to curse and say a few words .

The plainclothes patrols following behind became more serious.

It can be seen that young men are very hostile to new inventions.

Plainclothes patrols have seen this type of people before, most of them are 60 or 80 years old, old people who can no longer accept new things.

But no matter how you look at it, this young man doesn't look like... Just when they were muttering, they found two middle-aged men hurried towards this person.

Their temples are bulging, their eyes are bright, their bodies are strong, and their loose robes can't cover the bulging muscles underneath—both of them are trainers.

The three obviously knew each other.

The attitude of the two middle-aged men towards the young son was very respectful and courteous, but there was a touch of disdain in their eyes, and the strange attitude made the plainclothes police suspicious. One of them couldn't help looking at him for a long time.

"Hey! Stop staring at them!"

"..." It was too late to bow his head at this moment, the sight of this plainclothes patrolman was caught by one of the middle-aged men, and he looked at the two of them sharply.

The plainclothes patrolmen passed them by pretending to have nothing to do and chatting, but there was a touch of melancholy in their hearts.While rushing to dispatch candidates, the patrolmen also watched the whereabouts of the three from the corner of their eyes.

The patrol changed a group of people.

This time they found more problems.

The three seemed to be aware of the problem.

They went to the public toilet, took off the satin jackets they were wearing, changed into coarse clothes, turned around and entered a narrow alley.

The alleys in the capital extend in all directions.

The most important thing is that the alleys in the old city are narrow and dark. If they follow up, they will be discovered immediately. There is no other way except to immediately contact other patrols to keep an eye on the alleys that may appear.

In the end, the three never appeared in front of the plainclothes police officers again.

Obviously caught a big fish.

But they were discovered the moment they were caught out of the net, which made the plainclothes patrolmen very depressed. Yin Weijiqi of Shuntian Mansion did not dare to relax, and reported the matter to the emperor immediately.

Kangxi's face sank like water.

He never expected that Yinzhen and the others would encounter this kind of thing by chance and almost catch a big fish?After calling Yinzhen, the seventh elder brother Yinyou and the eighth elder brother Yinhu to inquire carefully, Kangxi also became suspicious of these three people.

"The patrols didn't keep up?"

"Ah... It was two Lianjiazi who met that young man, and they discovered it during the plainclothes patrol." Kangxi said in a deep voice.

Yinzhen tilted her head.

He raised his eyes to look at Yin Wei Jiqi of Shuntian Mansion: "Master Wei, I heard that young man is very disdainful of new inventions?"

"Reporting to Ninth Brother, it is true."

Yin Wei Jiqi of Shuntian Prefecture said according to the words of the plainclothes patrol officers: "Everyone who passes by the relevant shops and merchants, he will have to make a mockery before leaving."

"Hmm... Then let the city gate officials pay attention? Focus on checking people who use two-wheeled carriages to enter and leave the capital."

Since the four-wheeled carriages became popular, most of the royal families and businessmen in the capital have switched to four-wheeled carriages, but because the price has been high, there are not a few people who still use two-wheeled carriages.

The idea is rather unique.

But there is still a loophole... Kangxi chuckled: "What if they insist on hiding in the old city?"

Yinzhen chuckled.

He exchanged glances with Yinyou Yinhu, and the seventh elder brother Yinyou cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Khan Ama, how about doing a thorough investigation of the old city?"

"Why investigation?"

"Because of the large population in the old urban area, the number of outsiders, and the narrow and criss-crossed alleys, there are often problems that fires cannot be rescued in time."

The eighth elder brother Yinhu continued: "This old urban area has become a wound in the city of Beijing. We can use the name of rebuilding the old urban area to investigate the population by household."

He shrugged his shoulders: "Nowadays, the welfare housing has caused a lot of commotion in the capital. If this is the reason, I'm afraid it's not the real people who asked us to go in for a census!"

As for unwillingness.

Of course there is a problem!If they are boarding in the homes of ordinary people, then their only way is to leave the capital early, and the city gate officials will check when they leave.

Kangxi clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Good! Good!"

He looked at his three sons with admiration, especially Yinyou, the seventh elder brother, and Yinhu, the eighth elder brother. They also contributed a lot in supervising the construction of the train, and this time their thinking was sharper than he had imagined.

Kangxi rubbed his head one by one.

Compared with Yinyu's calmness, Yinyou and Yinhu's cheeks flushed suddenly, and their hearts jumped with joy.

His gaze turned to Wei Jiqi again: "You, along with Prince Yu Fuquan, and Admiral Fei Yanggu of the Nine Gates, will investigate the houses in the old city together."

As soon as the news of the renovation of the old urban area came out, there was a burst of cheers from the common people.You must know that because the hutongs are narrow and compact, even public toilets and garbage stations cannot be placed in them. The long distance and the underground environment that is difficult to improve, so that the smell of excrement that is difficult to smell in other urban areas of the capital still lingers. Homes in the old city.

Now there is a saying in the capital: "The east is rich, the west is rich, the south is poor, and the north is cheap, and men in the old city smell like urine."

It is enough to see that other places do not like the old city.The news of the transformation of the old city is a great thing that all the people have been looking forward to.

One by one they opened the door.

The common people scrambled to welcome the officers and soldiers into their houses to register the residential area, and to count the census population information.

He was so enthusiastic that Fei Yanggu, the admiral of the Nine Gates, had to dispatch officers and soldiers from the Eight Banners Barracks to maintain order.

Under such bustle, some indifferent, and even suspected deserted houses were quickly revealed.

Several yamen servants knocked hard on a door.

For a long time, there was no sound coming from inside, the yamen servants stopped their hands thoughtfully, the leader turned his head and said with a cheerful smile: "Is this place uninhabited?"

"Strange? Does anyone live here?"

"I saw candles lit at night!"

"Whose family? What's the name?"

"This... I don't know about this, do you know, sister-in-law Qian Shi?"

The woman who came out shook her head: "I've never seen the people inside!"

The servants looked at each other.

They carefully registered the location in the notebook, and then began to knock on the door of the next family.

If the yamen servants took a slow step, they might see traces of their robes flashing behind the trees in the yard.

"The Tartar Emperor has discovered our tracks."

"Hurry up—leave immediately!" If the plainclothes patrolman saw the leading middle-aged man, he would immediately recognize it as the Lian family son he met yesterday.

"But the authentic way here..."

"Why do you care so much? Go away! We might not be able to leave if it's too late." The middle-aged man urged everyone, and at the same time, he couldn't help but glance at the young man complaining.

If he hadn't been talking nonsense about a bunch of new inventions, how could he have provoked the officers and soldiers of the Tartars so easily?hateful!It's just a counterfeit, dare to...

A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man.

What do you need such a waste to do when the great cause is accomplished?However, there were still brothers around. No matter how annoyed the middle-aged man was, he had to lower his face, and stepped forward with a smile on his face, urging: "Young Master Zhu, hurry up? If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

Zhu Gongzi nodded casually.

He stood up and walked to the rear door under the leadership of the middle-aged man. Several Lianjiazi were nervously watching the wind outside. They waited until Mr. Zhu walked into the tunnel with his mouth and nose covered, and then they closed the wooden board with a bang. .

As expected by middle-aged people.

That night, Prince Yu Fuquan personally led officers and soldiers to guard outside the old city, and Fei Yanggu, the admiral of the Nine Gates, led people to sneak into these unoccupied houses under the guidance of the yamen servants during the day.

When this household was found, the investigation was shocking.Whether it is the faint footprints or the secret passage found in the back room, Fei Yanggu, the admiral of the nine gates, has an ominous premonition.

Going down the secret passage, Fei Yanggu carefully observed the surroundings: the passage was quiet, and there was no other sound except the breathing of a group of people.The passage is enough for adults to stand and move forward, and you can still see many forks when you walk forward for a while.

How long has this secret passage existed?

Nobody knows.

Fei Yanggu, the admiral of the Nine Gates, broke out in a cold sweat.

He immediately turned around and told Prince Yu Fuquan who was away.

There are actually secret passages like spider webs in the underground of the capital?The situation was urgent, and Prince Yu Fuquan rushed to the palace immediately.

Kangxi in his sleep was awakened.

Wearing a long robe, he was rather displeased, but his expression changed slightly after hearing that it was Prince Yu Fuquan who begged to see him.After listening to Prince Yu Fuquan's report, Kangxi's entire face turned dark: "Are you sure there is no one...?"

"Reporting to the emperor, maybe it was a shock in the morning, and no one stayed in it." Prince Yu Fuquan replied in a low voice.

Kangxi's face was cloudy and uncertain.

At first, he just wanted to force those people out, but he didn't expect that he would make them slip away instead.

I didn't even expect to find the tunnel!

Kangxi was restless, he wanted to know the direction of the tunnel at the first time, and he knew that digging in the middle of the night might attract criticism from others.

Kangxi tapped the imperial case with his fingertips.

He raised his eyes and told Prince Yu Fuquan: "Tomorrow morning, we will start to disperse the surrounding people, and check this tunnel from beginning to end through the renovation project of the old city."

The next day, the people in the old city began to move happily.They were moved to temporary residences, and they could move in one by one after the welfare housing was built one after another.

Some people also complained about why they had to move early, but whoever made the temporary residence much more comfortable than the old houses in the old city, such words disappeared within two days.

Only some knowledgeable people noticed that the wind and cranes were roaring in the capital, and there was a sign that a storm was about to come.

The reason, of course, is about authentic investigation.

The imperial guards carefully followed the secret passage to investigate, and the exit of the main road was a temple outside the capital that had been abandoned for many years.

And there are too many branches.

Most of these bifurcations are filled with waste soil, but if you look closely, you can still see the difference between the landfill waste soil and the surrounding area.Under the command of professionals, they quickly dug out a distance that was not too long along the traces.

The officials in charge of the renovation of the underground waterway flipped through the blueprints and signaled the excavating officers and soldiers to stop: "Prince Yu, if you go down, you will come into contact with the underground pipeline."

Prince Yu Fuquan has been in the ground for half a month, and the scale of the tunnels discovered by successive excavations is creepy.

What is even more frightening is that such a large project has never been discovered?If it is really finished by them, I am afraid that hundreds of people will not be able to find it if it is not hidden!

He wiped the sweat off his face.

Prince Yu Fuquan rushed back to the Forbidden City with a sad face, holding the documents again.

Kangxi stared blankly at the simple tunnel map drawn by the probe, and gathered beside him were Prince Yinreng, Yinzhen who found something wrong with the young prince, Yinyou the seventh elder brother, and Yinhu the eighth elder brother.

I wanted to catch a big fish.

Unexpectedly... this fish is so big that it's almost choking!Yinzhen and the three secretly exchanged glances, and their gazes circulated endlessly on this exaggerated tunnel.

"The destination of these forks?"

"Report to the emperor... because the place beyond is the route for the renovation of the sewer pipes, so it is impossible to dig further." Prince Yu Fuquan replied cautiously.

Kangxi stared at the map lost in thought.

Yinzhen leaned over and took a few glances, and then he let out a little surprise.Under Prince Yu Fuquan's slightly puzzled eyes, he put together the capital map and the tunnel map.

The two pieces of paper were held up high by him.

After squinting her eyes for a while, Yinzhen trotted to the window again, and pulled the curtain to look through the sunlight.

Prince Yu Fuquan looked up.

Under the sunlight, the two pieces of paper gradually merged into one, looking in all directions indicated by the tunnel map...

Prince Yu Fuquan's pupils suddenly constricted.

The direction filled with waste soil faintly points to the household department, the warehouse of the military department, and the latest tunnel even leads to the research institute.

Kangxi also saw this scene.

Anger ignited in Kangxi's eyes, his eyes were blood red, and he punched the table with fists: "Okay! Okay!"

Want to know what kind of wishful thinking the people inside are playing?If it weren't for the renovation of the capital that made them stop, their entire capital would have been overthrown by these traitors.

Kangxi was furious.

However, the people inside had already run away completely, and no one could bear Kangxi's monstrous anger.

Looking up at Prince Yu Fuquan who had already knelt down and dared not speak, Kangxi swallowed all his anger. He adjusted his breathing, and after a long time regained his composure, he said slowly: "The order will be issued to arrest this group of people." catch--"

Kangxi's voice has not yet fallen.

A young eunuch hurried in from outside: "Your Majesty! Lord Fei Yanggu, the admiral of the Nine Gates, please see me!"

"Pass him in!"

"Yes!"

When Fei Yanggu, the admiral of the Nine Gates, came in, he was followed by two bewildered young eunuchs, who carefully carried a bed board into the hall.

"This is……?"

"My servant pays my respects to the emperor." Fei Yanggu said with a serious expression, "This servant found this when he and others demolished the house."

"...the bed board."

"No! Your Majesty, please greet me." Fei Yanggu turned the entire bed board over with force with one hand.In the corner of the bed board, the seven big characters engraved in the corner fell into everyone's eyes.

Suzhou City, Wutong Shrine.

The scratch marks are messy, and it can be seen that the person who left the mark probably fell down in a hurry.

Kangxi's expression changed slightly: "This is...?"

Fei Yanggu added: "Your Majesty, during the investigation period, all the things in this house were guarded by the servants and Prince Yu's cronies. There is no accident. The servants... think that this may be left behind by someone."

Prince Yu Fuquan frowned.

He shook his head: "It's also possible that they stayed here to defraud us."

Yinyu, the seventh elder brother Yinyou and the eighth elder brother Yinhu peeped at each other.A thought and idea popped up in the hearts of the three of them at the same time, and their expressions changed drastically.

"Khan Ama..." Yinzhen exclaimed.

He exchanged glances with Seventh Brother and Eighth Brother, then gritted his teeth and blurted out: "Could it be that the young man... did it on purpose?"

"on purpose?"

"That's right, Khan Ama!" The eighth elder brother Yinhu added: "Now that I think about it, he is in the capital, but this person is acting arrogant, uttering wild words, and daring to spit on a bunch of shops opened by the imperial court." saliva."

"That's right." Fei Yanggu, the admiral of the Nine Gates, was delighted: "Your Majesty, this doesn't look like someone who wanted to hide his tracks. But what if he wanted to be discovered from the beginning, so he didn't cover it up? "

Think about it in this way.

Everyone present felt the cold sweat dripping from their backs layer by layer.What will happen so that this young son-in-law has to take such a big risk to reveal the news, plus the scale of the capital tunnel... the more I think about it, the more I dare not think about it.

On the one hand, Kangxi issued an order to Cao Yin of Jiangning Weaving and Li Xu of Suzhou Weaving to investigate the surroundings of Suzhou City, ordering them to keep the secrets strictly so as not to be discovered by others; Dirty places are cleaned up.

Not to mention more than just tunnels, during the rectification of some alleys, there were cellars where corpses were hidden, black spots for human trafficking, or places where Japanese, Raksha people, and Spaniards stayed without permission.

Obviously it was right under his nose, but he was acting recklessly like this underneath. Yin Wei of Shuntian Mansion was reprimanded by Kangxi one after another. If he hadn't been good-natured, he might have been dismissed directly.

This happened one after another, and Kangxi's mood fell all the way, until the good news came from the harem that had been silent for a long time, and a smile appeared on his face.

The Crown Princess of Yuqing Palace gave birth to a little princess.

Kangxi felt sorry for a moment, and then showed a look of joy.Even if it wasn't the little elder brother that Kangxi was looking forward to, he took off his stern mask, and specially asked the prince to follow him to Kunning Palace to burn incense, and told Queen Renxiao about it.

He patted Yinfeng's shoulder: "So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, even you... are Ama's."

Prince Yinreng looked at the portrait of Er Niang.

In the portrait, there was a gentle smile on the corner of the mother's mouth, her eyes were fixed on herself and Han Ama, and he closed his eyes and murmured.

As for Kangxi asking what he was talking about, Yinfeng covered his mouth and jumped out: "This is the secret of Erchen and Erniang!"

"...They're all Ama's people and they're jumping around." Kangxi couldn't help laughing, and walked to the gate of Kunning Palace and looked back.

Empress Renxiao in the portrait looked at him tenderly.

Kangxi's eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse: "... I made an agreement with you."

A gust of wind gently blew Buddha on Kangxi's face, as if it was Queen Renxiao's answer.He stared blankly at the portrait for a long time, then turned around and left in a hurry.

One month after the princess gave birth to Little Gege.

Good news also came from the elder brother's mansion: Da Fujin gave birth to a younger elder brother, the eldest grandson of the emperor.

At this time, the concubine was chatting in Chengqian Palace.

Hearing this good news, all the concubines turned their eyes to Concubine Hui.

In the past, Concubine Hui would have been ecstatic, and she had possessed the sword to compete with the prince, but now she is not surprised by honor or disgrace, she just smiled and responded, and then ordered her mother to reward Dafu Jin.

Hard to say.

Or Concubine Tonghuang's reaction was more enthusiastic!She hurriedly stood up, and said with a happy face: "Let's go! Let's tell the empress dowager this good news as soon as possible!"

The two pieces of news caused joy in Ningshou Palace.

As soon as the little elder brother's full moon passed, the two little masters were sent to Ningshou Palace in unison.

The empress dowager was full of energy.

She leaned on the pillow, looked at the snow-white and tender little Gege to the left, and the grinning little elder brother to the right, her whole heart seemed to melt.

The empress dowager was so happy from ear to ear.

Holding a strength in one hand, he couldn't bear to give it to others, but it made Yinzhen rush forward with jealousy: "Mama Ukuma hug her grandson!"

"I have nephews and nieces, and they can act like a baby!" The empress dowager then sent the two little great-great-grandchildren to others, and laughed while hugging Yinzhen.

But there are not a few days of this happy day.

Perhaps seeing the two great-great-great-grandsons made the Empress Dowager feel no regrets. When the Empress Dowager fell ill again in early December, and this time her illness was so severe that even the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, Qin Taiyi, could only shake his head. share.

It's December 25th.

Dark clouds hung low over the capital, and the daytime was like midnight without a ray of sunlight, which weighed heavily on Yinzhen's heart.

The elder brothers in the upper study room were absent-mindedly flipping through the various materials in front of them. Now that the upper study room is said to be reading, it might as well be a place for the elder brothers to communicate and talk.

It's just that today's upper study room is eerily quiet.All the materials that elder brother was not thinking about in front of him all drifted to the Ningshou Palace - the Empress Dowager has not woken up for three consecutive days.

Now all the imperial doctors gathered together to diagnose and treat the Empress Dowager. Concubine Tong led the concubines to copy Buddhist scriptures all night to pray for the Empress Dowager. Even Kangxi chose to quit the dynasty.

A gust of wind suddenly picked up outside, rattling the windows of the upper study room.Yinzhen managed to pull himself together and focused on the textbook in front of him again, but in the next second a dazzling lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a bang of thunder, at the same time Wei Zhu pushed the door open and entered, shouting He said: "Brothers! Brothers! The Empress Dowager is awake! The emperor invites all brothers to Ningshou Palace!"

Yinzhen stood up vigorously.

His movements were too fast, and the chair behind him rubbed against the floor and made a harsh creaking sound.Yinzhen didn't care about the reaction of the other brothers, he rushed out of the upper study room, and then the other elder brothers stood up one by one, spread their legs and rushed out.

Yinzhen rushed straight into the bedroom of Ningshou Palace.

He didn't even have the thought of greeting the Empress Dowager Kangxi and others, and turned his eyes directly to the Empress Dowager on the bed.

The Empress Dowager leaned weakly on the dark golden pillow, her face was withered and yellow, but her eyes were radiant, and she looked at the Empress Dowager and Kangxi with a smile.

Hearing the noise from outside, she raised her head with difficulty, and her eyes happened to meet Yinzhen's.

Yinzhen's heart skipped a beat.

Maybe the odds are low, but maybe...?It was obvious that the elder brothers all had the same thoughts as Yinzhen, and all of them turned their eyes to the serious-looking Qin Taiyi in unison.

Physician Qin was under a lot of pressure.

Facing the anxious gazes of Kangxi and the elder brothers, he stood up, and then knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, I can't do anything for you... The Empress Dowager... It's already, it's the time to shine."

Kangxi was trembling all over.

Yinzhen whimpered, and he trotted to the empress dowager's bedside, with big teardrops falling down.He shouted in a hoarse voice: "Aunt Ukuma..."

The Empress Dowager raised her eyelids slightly.

She looked at Yinzhen tenderly, and stretched out her hand to Yinzhen with difficulty.Yinzhen hurriedly knelt on the ground, and voluntarily placed his head in the palm of the Empress Dowager.He gripped the quilt tightly with both hands, trying to hold back a sob.

The Empress Dowager's hands were cold.

Just touching Yinzhen's head seemed to take all her strength, and her voice was more like a broken windmill: "Aijia... has lived for many years! Yinzhen... Yinzhen don't cry anymore okay?"

The time in the 26th year of Kangxi.

She was clearly in a coma, but once she woke up, her body was safe. How could it be possible without Yinzhen's means?The Empress Dowager's eyes were already cloudy, even so she looked at the grandchildren in front of her one by one.

Every one.

Finally she said softly: "You guys... all be well, be well—the emperor, the emperor!"

Kangxi took a few steps forward.

His eyes were filled with tears, and he stretched out his hand to hug the Empress Dowager into his arms.Kangxi covered the empress dowager's cold hands, and shouted tremblingly: "Mama Huang, grandson is here."

"Ai family...Ai family...Ai family is proud of you, Xuan Ye." The empress dowager stroked Kangxi's face.

After returning to the light, the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry.

What she said to the emperor seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and the empress dowager could not say a word anymore, she could only pant and look at each child, and finally closed her eyes in Kangxi's embrace.

"Emperor Mama!!!"

"Aunt Ukuma!!!"

"Emperor lady—!"

Crying and shouting suddenly sounded in Ningshou Palace.

Dark clouds billowed, and it seemed that even the heavens and the earth were mourning the death of the Empress Dowager. For a while, thunder and lightning flashed, and it rained like a torrential rain.

After three dynasties, the Empress Dowager, who supported two emperors and taught Kangxi to grow up, completed her magnificent life at the age of 80.
