Heavenly Seven Dragons

Feeling a little nervous, when he leaned his thin body on the broad chest again, his heartbeat accelerated a lot involuntarily, and the warmth that came through the layers of clothing almost penetrated into his bone marrow, little by little. It stirred up the greed that was silent deep in his heart.

Long Yintian was enjoying this rare autumn wholeheartedly, completely forgetting those annoying government affairs for the time being, the fresh and moist air in the forest made him feel very comfortable, compared to those white-eyed The ice and snow in the mountains are not inferior, and being in nature is much better than staying in that magnificent palace.

Except for the guards who closely guarded the emperor, the others gradually spread out, skillfully driving away the deer, rabbits, foxes and other small animals hiding behind the trees, so that the emperor could shoot them more easily with arrows. They, after all, the emperor came to Mulan to hunt for fun, and the tiring work was naturally done by these servants.

There are two bows hanging on the side of Long Yintian's horse, the brown one is reluctantly used by Yongzhang, because with his help Yongzhang can at least draw this bow independently, and the other one wrapped in bright yellow cloth is naturally It is the bow he used for the queen, and this bow has a lot of background.

In the last years of Kangxi, the Mongolian kings did not know how to get this rare good bow in the world. They knew that Lord Kangxi liked hunting, so they jointly paid tribute to him. They were also cancelled.

After Lord Yongzheng came to power, he had no time to come to the Mulan paddock due to the busy government affairs and waiting for a lot of waste, so the bow was naturally put on the shelf. It was not until this trip to Mulan that Gao Wuyong accidentally mentioned it. A good bow that has gone through three dynasties but has not been used.

Long Yintian was also on a whim, so he asked Gao Wuyong to take the bow and take a look at it. As a result, he fell in love with the hostility that was hidden in the bow from the bottom of his heart, so this It was only the second time that the bow was brought out.

With the help and guidance of Long Yintian, Yongzhang also gradually gained something, but they were all small animals. Although he saw a few deer on the way, he regretted not catching up. He could only see that he was about to get it. The prey slipped away in vain.

Yongzhang knew in his heart that Huang Ama was trying to accommodate him, that's why he let those quick-moving prey escape instead of chasing after him. Although there were some regrets, what was more in his heart was an indescribable feeling. Sweet and warm feeling.

Another "swish" arrow was shot, and Yongzhang's arrow finally hit a deer that had been driven here. The deer, suffering from pain, turned around and ran away in a panic. Seeing this, the other accompanying guards immediately drew their bows and prepared Shoot the fawn before it runs away.

Just when everyone was focusing on the injured deer, Long Yintian, whose five senses were much sharper than ordinary people, heard the abnormal noise from the other side, the kind of inadvertent contact with the grass and tree trunks. The tiny vibrations produced by the friction are definitely not from people or horses. If the guess is correct, there should be a bigger prey over there.

Long Yintian immediately decided to give up the injured deer, quickly reined in the Feidian under his seat, and carefully discerned the specific direction and direction of the sound without moving, and then there was a barely traceable smack at the corner of his mouth. sneer.

As the saying goes, "The praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind", I didn't expect these hunters to be mantises, if it wasn't for Long Yintian's keen sense, they would have almost been caught by that oriole It's over.

Seeing that the emperor did not ride the horse to chase the deer, the imperial guards stayed where they were, so they immediately reined in and waited quietly for the emperor's order.

Yongzhang was very puzzled at this moment, the deer could be caught obviously, but Huang Ama still let it go in the end, could it be that Huang Ama moved some compassion?

But then Yongzhang erased this absurd guess from his mind, and he couldn't figure out Huang Ama's intention for a while, so he had to wait and see what happened.

Soon Long Yintian determined the approximate location, then raised his whip and said: "Iraqi, take a few people over there to have a look, be careful with your movements, I feel that there should be a big guy over there .”

"Yes." Iraqi didn't care whether the emperor's words were well-founded or random guesses, as long as it was ordered by the emperor, the only thing he could do was to find a way to complete the task perfectly.

Picking a few skilled and experienced hunters from the accompanying guards, Iraqi did not choose to go straight, but rode his horse around from the other side. After discovering some traces left on the road, he decisively He asked the guards to dismount and continue to follow carefully, while he hurriedly turned back to report the news to the emperor.

"Reporting to the emperor, the servant and others found traces of the female tiger not far from the northwest. The servant has ordered several other people to continue to follow up. Please show the emperor how to deal with it."

Yongzhang's eyes widened immediately after hearing this, and he was extremely surprised. He never expected to meet a tiger on the first day of hunting.

It is said that tigers and bears are the rarest animals in Mulan Paddock. One reason is that the environment here is not suitable for the survival of such large animals, and the other reason is that it is relatively close to human settlements. Often try to avoid it as much as possible, and even drill into deep mountains and old forests to multiply.

Of course, Long Yintian will not let such a big guy go, because he has never seen what a tiger in this world looks like with his own eyes. Judging from the memory in his mind, it should be a ferocious large beast that can kill It's powerful, and it's an object worth challenging.

Instructing some people to find a way to drive the tiger from the rear to the cliff not far in front, Long Yintian took another group of people to the cliff to check the situation first, and asked the guards who were familiar with hunting to set up some simple traps , in order to catch that tiger with the least cost.

Although Yongzhang also wanted to observe the appearance of the tiger at a close distance, he also understood how dangerous a living tiger was, so he obediently followed Long Yintian's arrangement and stayed under the protection of Ilaqi. He stayed far behind a big rock, and still rode the Feidian that originally belonged to the emperor's royal horse.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, the sound of the tiger's howl began to gradually approach from far to near, and it was about to reach the range set by the trap; Long Yintian had already found a place to hide with the guards, And all the horses under the seat were covered with leaves, just waiting for the tiger to get into the cover.

Seeing a black and yellow shadow rushing out of the woods, Long Yintian tightly held the imperial bow that had already been removed from the yellow cloth to reveal its true colors, silently put the arrow on the string, and aimed at Baibu. The shadow that kept shaking outside.

At this time, Yongzhang's heart was also in his throat. Firstly, it was because of his abnormal excitement, and secondly, he was worried about Huang Ama's safety. After all, he was a living tiger. But it's big.

That tiger was actually a shrewd guy, and avoided several traps that had already been set up, but it was a beast after all, no matter how shrewd it was, it couldn't be shrewder than a human being. Despite every precaution, it finally stepped on a rope trap , Only a few "squeaks" were heard, and the rope tightly entangled one of its hind legs.

Just when the tiger was about to turn around and bite off the rope, the guards who had been waiting by the side all shot their arrows one after another. Although the tiger's quick movement back and forth was not easy to aim, a few arrows still hit the tiger. body, but none of them hurt the vitals.

The tiger became completely angry under the pain, and began to pull the rope with brute force, and wanted to go back to the woods. Although the rope was strong, the trap was built temporarily, so naturally it was not very strong.

After several pulls, the tiger finally broke free from the rope, but instead of going back into the woods, it turned around with a low growl and rushed towards the hiding place of the guards.

Long Yintian, who had been waiting for the opportunity, was very calm and watched the situation quietly. Through this observation, he has already seen that if a tiger like a tiger cannot be killed with one blow, it will inevitably cause casualties. It is him It was a situation that he absolutely didn't want to see, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to see how much potential his soul and body had after being fused.

Yongzhang, who was hiding behind, saw that the tiger was desperate and turned towards Huang Ama and rushed towards him. His expression changed instantly. In desperation, he couldn't care less, and shouted loudly: "Huang Ama ,careful!"

At this moment, Long Yintian's mental power was so concentrated that he couldn't hear anything. The moment the tiger jumped up and rushed towards him, a killing intent flashed in his eyes, and the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time finally came.

As the bowstring vibrated with a "hum", the arrow on the string shot out straight like a shooting star. Before the guards who were eager to escort them realized what happened, they saw that the tiger had already hit the ground heavily. , only twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

☆、Catch and release the white fox

Yongzhang, who was still in shock, broke out in a cold sweat because of the scene just now. Even though the tiger was dead, his hands were still trembling uncontrollably. He didn't even have the energy to hold the rein in his hand.

If he had known that it would be so dangerous, even if he died, he would not agree to let Huang Ama be so willful. It is only now that he understands the words Yongxuan used to enlighten him that day, "Our Huang Ama is not But he is an extremely willful and selfish person, and he is also the most ruthless person in this palace."

The guard closest to the tiger hurriedly stepped forward to check carefully, and was sure that the tiger had no breath and was completely dead, so he quickly came to Long Yintian and knelt down and said: "Congratulations, the emperor has hunted the female with his own hands. Tiger."

The surrounding guards all reacted when they heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said in unison: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Long Yintian didn't pay attention to the reactions of the guards, but was completely immersed in his own thoughts. The reason was the arrow he shot to kill the tiger just now.

The location of this arrow is precise and tricky, avoiding the hardest skull of the tiger, and directly shooting the arrow into the tiger's brain from the most vulnerable right eye. Most people may only think that Long Yintian's archery skills are superior, but If it is seen by people who know how to do it, they will not think so superficially.

Because the two inches behind the eyes is the reaction nerve center, whether it is killing people or hunting animals, this is one of the most accurate, fastest and safest methods.

Long Yintian was most satisfied with his aim and feel, but the power of this arrow was much worse than that of his previous life, even though the arrow almost completely sank into the tiger's body. In his mind, only a little bit of arrow tail was left outside.

But regrets are regrets, but it is quite good to have such a result, and he also understands that many things cannot be forced.

Although the guards were all congratulating the emperor on killing the tiger, Yongzhang was still worried about whether Huang Ama was injured, so he quickly dismounted and ran to Long Yintian's side, not caring that he was still a little breathless, so he subconsciously Grabbing Long Yintian's arm, he asked worriedly, "Ama Huang, are you alright? Did you get hurt by the tiger?"

Only then did Long Yintian come to his senses, raised his hand and patted Yongzhang's shoulder, and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

It can be seen that Yongzhang was also very frightened by the thrilling scene just now, so Long Yintian did not continue today's hunting activities, but ordered the guards to take this tiger and ride slowly with Yongzhang all the way. Ma wandered back to the camp.

As the hunting teams returned one after another, the story of the emperor's hunting of tigers spread like wildfire in the camp. When it was time for the dinner, some ministers who were good at flattering and flattering naturally talked about it again. What is the blessing of the Qing Dynasty and the mighty grace of the emperor? Long Yintian was amused when he heard it.

On the contrary, the truthful words spoken by those Mongolian lords were quite pleasing to him. When he was happy, he naturally rewarded a lot of things to the lords of various ministries.

Originally, this Mulan Qiuxiu was a political activity, and the real purpose was to take the opportunity to contact and communicate with the Mongolian kings, and hunting everything was just incidental.

After finishing the business, Long Yintian did not forget what he said before. Not only did he give verbal appreciation to those who performed well in hunting today, but he also specially gave him the mutton roasted by himself as a reward. In the hearts of the courtiers, this is much more valuable than those gold and silver things.

Of course, he also didn't forget to give one piece to each of the three elder brothers, but in comparison, the ones given to Yongzhang were slightly less, and the ones given to Yongqi and Yongrong were slightly more.

Although Long Yintian only distributed it in this way because he was accommodating Yongzhang's body, but in the eyes of those ministers, it was not the case at all, especially those wily and calculating guys, who had more things to think about .

Although Long Yintian has been talking to those Mongolian princes and princes and ministers from the beginning to the end, he also carefully noticed everyone present, and naturally noticed Yongrong's somewhat abnormal silence and Yongqi's high-spirited joy appearance.

Yong Bi, who was sitting next to Yong Rong, was always around Yong Rong, as if he was trying to make Yong Rong happy, and he even paid little attention to his Ama; but Yong Rong didn't seem to care. How to give Yongbi face, still pursed his mouth without saying a word, feeling as if someone owed him a lot of money.

This scene made Long Yintian a little interested, because he knew very well about Yongbi's temperament, and he was always the one who said that one thing more is worse than one thing less. He didn't expect that Yongbi was working tirelessly around Yongrong today. How could this be? It seems that there is something strange, maybe this kid Yongrong really has a way to handle Yongbi, a monkey spirit.

After this extremely boring banquet was over, Long Yintian sent someone to send a message to Yongrong, Hongzhou and Yongbi after returning to the big tent, wanting to ask what happened during the day today, and how could it make the people who have always been The carefree Yong Rong was unhappy all night, and he also wanted to know who had the guts to confront an orthodox elder brother.

After a while, Yong Rong and Yong Bi were summoned to come. Obviously, Yong Rong was still brooding over what happened during the day, so there was no cheerful smile on his face as usual, and the tense little The face also made him less childish, and also gave him the aura of a member of the royal family.

After saluting, Yong Rong cautiously walked over before Long Yintian asked questions, and began to complain: "Huang Ama, my son is really out of luck today, not only let a hypocritical guy I lost my interest, and I still haven't caught the prey I wanted to give to Huang Ama. Huang Ama, you...don't blame Erchen..."

Long Yintian thought that those clumsy slaves made Yong Rong unhappy, so he didn't think about it, and comforted him: "Yong Rong, this is the first time you have come to Mulan to hunt today, and you don't have much to gain. It's normal, besides you are still young, it is enough to have this kind of filial piety, I won't blame you."

When Yong Rong heard this, he was naturally unconvinced, and immediately retorted: "It's not that I'm not good at skills, I've already caught my son, but I didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to be killed halfway, and he was caught Someone else let it go."

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Long Yintian was surprised, but more difficult to understand.

It is said that Yong Rong is also a favored elder brother, but I didn't expect that someone would take such a good opportunity to perform, and instead sang against Yong Rong; taking a step back, even if that person didn't know that the prey was shot by Yong Rong, But at least he should know what the yellow silk on the arrow feathers represents.

If this is the case, then this kind of person can really be regarded as the best of the best.

On the other hand, Yong Bi, who was standing aside, kept abiding by the rules and did not speak, but his eyes were always focused on the interaction between Yong Rong and the emperor.

After all, although the emperor is his uncle, the difference between the emperor and his ministers is far more important than those blood ties. He is still very clear about this, so he can play with Yong Rong and have no big differences in front of Hong Zhou. Not small, but absolutely not presumptuous in front of the emperor.

However, Long Yintian didn't intend to just listen to Yong Rong's one-sided words. After all, Yong Rong had never encountered such a scandal before, and it is normal to deliberately exaggerate what he said this time.

Afterwards, he glanced at Yongbi meaningfully, and asked unhurriedly: "Yongbi, tell me what's going on."

"Yes, then...my nephew will tell the truth." Yongbi was not at all embarrassed, and he calmly told the day's events in detail, even if Yongrong wanted to steal his He didn't hide the matter of playing with the pistol, and it could be heard that he didn't favor anyone in his words.

This matter is actually quite simple, that is, the white fox that Yongrong wanted to give to the emperor was let go by Fucha Haozhen, the heir son of Prince Shuo. Rong Rong was so cruel and vicious at a young age, which made Yong Rong so angry.

After hearing this, Long Yintian finally couldn't help chuckling a few times. He now understands why Yongrong is so angry. Facing such a superficially hypocritical and self-righteous person, it is simply unreasonable to reason. It doesn't make sense, and Yongrong's eloquence is not very good, so it's normal to suffer.

"Okay, Yong Rong, stop pouting..." Long Yintian comforted Yong Rong, pinched his cheek and said, "You are an elder brother, so you don't have to deal with such a worthless person." gas."

Although Yong Rong's expression softened somewhat, he still couldn't let go of the resentment in his heart: "But Uncle Wu said, that kind of white fox is extremely rare, and if I haven't caught any of them today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to touch them in the next few days." It's up. My son is still thinking about giving Huang Ama a birthday gift..."

In fact, through Yongbi's narration, Long Yintian was quite satisfied with Yongrong's performance today, so he didn't want Yongrong to spoil his interest in the next few days because of this trivial matter, so he raised his arms and hugged Yongrong's. Shoulder said: "I am already very happy that you have this kind of thought. Gifts and so on are secondary. Why don't you give it to me when you come to Mulan next time?"

When Yongrong heard that he still had a chance to come to Mulan in the future, he couldn't help but nodded, "Well, I will definitely hunt it down with my own hands and give it to Huang Ama better!"

☆、Brothers meeting

Long Yintian nodded, turned to look at Yongbi, and asked meaningfully: "Yong Rong, just now Yongbi said that you like his guns very much, is there such a thing?"

The reason why he asked this question was entirely caused by Yongbi's big truth before.

Although it is a fact that Yongrong is young and self-willed, no matter how you say it, he is one of the princes that Long Yintian values. With such criticism in front of him, to put it bluntly, he is a very protective person.

As soon as Yongbi heard the emperor asked about this matter again, he immediately knew something was wrong, he might not be able to keep his pistol today even if he wanted to.

Although he did intend to give this pistol to Yong Rong as a gift, it is not now. After all, Yong Rong is still too young, and the pistol is in danger of misfiring, so he intends to wait for Yong Rong to grow up. Send it away after a few years.

However, Yongbi is more worried because he is afraid that the emperor will misunderstand that he put eye drops on Yongrong, God is sorry, he is just telling the truth, it really has no meaning at all.

In the final analysis, what happened today was all caused by that Fucha Haozhen, and Yongbi completely remembered that guy this time.

Yong Rong didn't hear the real meaning of his Huang Ama's question, but just said what he thought in his heart: "I just saw that Yongbi used it and found it very novel, so I just wanted to try it. Who would have thought He was so stingy, he didn't let me use it at all, and he said a lot of reasons..."

Yongbi is really dumbfounded at the moment, he doesn't let Yongrong play this dangerous thing is also for the sake of Yongrong's safety, unexpectedly, in Yongrong's eyes, he becomes petty and wordy, he is really an injustice ah.

Now he can be regarded as completely understanding why his Ama always shirks the emperor's summons in every possible way, and whoever can bear it in the long run.

Although he was helpless in every possible way, Yongbi still said with a smile on his face: "My nephew originally wanted to give Sixth Brother a new gadget. Since Sixth Brother likes this hand gun, then I will give you something new." My nephew might as well give it to Brother Six as a meeting gift."

After hearing this, Yong Rong raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yong Bi, obviously he didn't believe Yong Bi's words, in his opinion, this was simply Yong Bi's perfunctory words.

Long Yintian smiled secretly in his heart, seeing the reactions of these two little guys, Yongbi is really shrewd, he is indeed Hong Zhou's favored son, and he can see his impression of Yong Rong It's still very good, it's good to let the two of them get closer in private, at least Yongrong can learn a lot from him.

"Yong Rong, since people say they will give you the pistol, you should be more generous and forget about those unhappy things."

Seeing that Huang Ama had spoken, Yongrong knew that even if Yongbi didn't want to give away the gun, he had to give it away, so he happily pursed his lips and said cheerfully: "Well...well, my son will listen Huang Ama's."

Although Yong Rong was made happy, Long Yintian didn't forget the business, and asked directly, "Yongbi, why didn't Hong Zhou come with you? I remember sending someone to summon me." of?"

Yongbi had long thought that the emperor would ask about his Ama, so he replied with a very calm expression: "Ama, he drank too much and got a little drunk, so he didn't come with his nephew. Ama said to wait for tomorrow. In the morning, he will personally come to confess to you."

Hearing this, Long Yintian pursed his lips and smiled disapprovingly, saying why he couldn't come when he was drunk was all just an excuse to shirk.

Ever since Hong Zhou was thrown from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Punishment, Long Yintian summoned that guy seven or eight times out of ten, and Hong Zhou used all kinds of excuses; Come on, there are many things that he, the prince, does not need to do by himself, but he rushes to take over, and then rushes out. To put it bluntly, he does it just for one word—to hide.

Hong Zhou was so cautious and walked on thin ice, it was entirely because the emperor had become abnormally strong in the past year or so.

It is said that the emperor used to smoke from time to time for a while, at most a month or two, and it would be normal after this period; but this time the emperor obviously did not smoke, but completely Changed his mind, as for what the emperor was thinking in his heart, no one could guess, but anyone with eyes could tell that the emperor had already started to make plans for the future.

Furthermore, Hong Zhou was indeed unable to resist being ordered by the emperor, so he thought of a way to hide and relax. He had just solved the big trouble at the clan's side, before he had time to catch his breath, the emperor directly issued a decree , He was transferred to the Criminal Department, the most complicated affairs among the six departments.

This really makes Hong Zhou, who has been idle for most of his life, complaining endlessly. Not only does he get up early every day, but he also has to deal with those difficult-to-control Eight Banners disciples from time to time. It is difficult to rectify the punishment department.

So, who knows what troubles the emperor will send him next time, it's no wonder that Hong Zhou didn't hide for a while.

But as the saying goes, "It's a blessing, not a disaster, and a disaster can't be avoided", Long Yintian is determined not to let Hongzhou go, so he didn't talk nonsense with Yongbi anymore, and just used half-hearted He said unhurriedly in a threatening tone: "Yongbi, you are the one who preaches the decree today, and tell Hongzhou that if he does not appear in front of me within half a stick of incense, then he will die for the rest of his life." Don't want to go anywhere."

"Uh...my nephew obeys the order." Yongbi was swept away by Long Yintian's sharp gaze, and his heart trembled. tears.

This is clearly none of his business, but in the end he has to follow suit, and the instigator is still his pro-Ama, even if he wants to reason, he has nowhere to say it, he is really dumb and eats coptis, and he can't say no when he is suffering out.

But let alone, Long Yintian's threatening words were really effective. After Yong Rong and Yong Bi left, Hong Zhou hurried over panting, even though he His footsteps were still a little unsteady, but it was obvious that he still had a little fear of the fourth elder brother of the emperor. After all, the first rank of the official was still crushing people, let alone if he was facing the emperor.

After Hongzhou entered the big tent, he had just finished his salute, and while drinking the hot milk tea in his hand, Long Yintian asked without raising his head, "Fifth Brother, are you finally willing to come to see me?"

"Look at what your majesty said, what kind of words are you talking about?" Hongzhou wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that I have drunk too much, and if I say some nonsense, I will come out and run afoul of you." It will be bad if you lose the emperor, won't you?"

Long Yintian put the porcelain bowl in his hand on the table, smiled sneeringly, and replied without any face: "Don't give me too much credit, you don't talk too much about those nonsense? Civil and military, who can compare to you in terms of absurdity?"

Hong Zhou couldn't figure out the meaning of the emperor calling him here for a while, so he was extremely cautious in every word and sentence, trying to follow the emperor's thoughts: "Hehe, that is, my brother has this temperament, and I am afraid that it will be hard to change in the future. gone."

"Okay, don't mess with me here, come and talk to me for a while, don't stand there like a log." After speaking, Long Yintian casually pointed to the other side of the low table, The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Hongzhou hesitated now, he felt that he should and should not, should not and should not.

If he just went over and sat down, wouldn't it be obvious that he was on an equal footing with the emperor?If this is seen by others, maybe something will come out. At that time, he will not be able to keep his title; In a big way, it means resisting orders and not obeying orders.

Long Yintian saw that Hongzhou hadn't moved for a long time, so he glared at him, pretending to be annoyed and said, "Why, do you still want me to invite you in person?"

"How can this be?" Although Hong Zhou still had a smile on his face, he knew in his heart that today he said that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe, so he just bite the bullet and walked over, sitting nervously. on the chair.

However, he didn't dare to sit still, but turned his body a little sideways, and basically couldn't find any faults in terms of etiquette, so it was really difficult for him to be so careful.

Looking at Hong Zhou's appearance of sitting on pins and needles, Long Yintian was very leisurely and contented. He poured a bowl of hot milk tea and put it in front of Hong Zhou. He seemed concerned and said, "Drink something warm to warm up your body." , you just drank the wine and blew the night breeze for a while, don't worry about getting sick when you turn around."

Hearing Long Yintian's words, Hong Zhou felt depressed. What happened this night was not something he was willing to bother about, and it wasn't all because of your emperor's words.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Although he felt aggrieved, Hong Zhou still had to show a look of gratitude, after all, it was something brought by the Emperor himself. Although he didn't say it clearly, it was actually a reward.

Looking at Hongzhou meaningfully, Long Yintian smiled faintly, and began to casually say: "I see that you liked to do funerals a few years ago, why haven't I seen you recently?" Do it again? I am still thinking about when I will be free, so I can join in the fun."

After hearing this, Hong Zhou, who just said to take a breath and drink tea, almost couldn't hold back the milk tea in his mouth. Although he managed to swallow the tea, he was tragically choked by the tea caught.

☆ between monarch and minister

"Cough, cough, cough..." Hongzhou coughed for a while, and finally recovered, patted his chest to catch his breath, his cheeks were flushed from drinking too much wine Now it looks even more popular, "Isn't my brother busy all the time, and I haven't had time to attend the funeral?"

Long Yintian just glanced at Hong Zhou lightly, apparently he was not too satisfied with the concentration of his fifth younger brother, one sentence could scare him like this, I'm afraid it still needs to be tempered.

He also poured himself a bowl of milk tea, and then Long Yintian continued: "I see that you have been very busy recently, and you run out every now and then. When Uncle Sixteen recovers from his illness, I will give you a long vacation. , let you take a good rest for two months."

"Yo, that's kind." When Hongzhou heard that the emperor was going to give him a vacation, he was naturally looking forward to it. He had been looking forward to the idle life for a long time, but then he remembered a big problem. The mood that got better suddenly sank back: "But before I came to Mulan, I just went to visit Uncle Sixteen. This time, his illness is so severe that he hasn't improved after more than half a year. I'm really worried... ..."

"It's also my fault. I know that Uncle Sixteen is old, but I sent him such a troublesome thing..." Although Long Yintian said this, in fact, he didn't think so. Without the slightest apology, he can be said to have mixed feelings about Prince Zhuang Yunlu, his nominal sixteenth uncle.

Because Yunlu is the son of Lord Kangxi, not only has he been taught by Lord Kangxi, but he has also experienced the event of Kowloon seizing the throne, so his political vision is by no means comparable to those of younger officials, which is why Long The reason why Yintian would transfer Yunlu to the Ministry of Punishment.

But on the other hand, Long Yintian was not at ease with his Sixteenth Uncle. After all, Yunlu had not thought about what he shouldn't have, especially in the face of great power, but he was born at a bad time. That's all, so I missed the good time to seize the heir, so I submerged myself and became a prince with peace of mind.

Compared with Yun Lu, Hong Zhou's temperament and thoughts are more precise, so Long Yintian intends to let Hong Zhou take over the position of Prince Zhuang, and at the same time he is serving in the Ministry of Punishment, he will take over the position of the Zhenghuang Banner Manchuria Commander. In this way, it will be more convenient for him to continue to implement his plan in the future.

Picking up the porcelain bowl and bowing his head for a moment of thought, Long Yintian said meaningfully: "Fifth Brother, after you return to Beijing, you can go to Uncle Sixteen to have a look, and send some good medicinal materials over there, just say... It's what I mean."

The emperor's words obviously had a foreign language, but Hongzhou couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to reply with the superficial meaning of the words: "Don't worry about this, after returning to Beijing, my brother will definitely Go to Uncle Sixteen's residence as soon as possible."

Long Yintian nodded slightly. He was sure that Hong Zhou would never be able to understand the meaning of his words, but Uncle Sixteen Yunlu could guess it, so it would be a fool to ask Hong Zhou to do errands to spread the word. good choice.

After talking about Uncle Sixteen, Long Yintian didn't forget to add another sentence: "Oh, by the way, if you want to do any more funerals, you must inform me, so I can find time for you to go." Hold a field."
