[Qing Chuan] Five elder brothers intermittent salted fish

Yinqi was injured and lay on the bed for a whole month before he regained some energy and was able to walk around the ground. However, what greeted him as a hero was not flowers and applause, nor titles and rewards. You Shiran, the censor of salt, for some reason, actually participated in the copy of the famous filial son in front of him, the emperor.

As soon as the news came out from the previous court, Liang Shan was so angry that he didn't rush to the palace to scold all the eighteen generations of his ancestor You Shiran. That's all, he turned around and beat him up.

It is said that the fifth elder brother Yinqi accepted bribes in two cases. One was to confiscate the merchant ships of the Yao family in Yangzhou who collected salt in the name of preventing floods, and to make the Yao family have no salt to collect. Wu Yunbo, Huizhou Prefecture, Mr. Wu accepted bribes and privately released noble sons who trampled on field seedlings and destroyed agricultural mulberry.

One by one, when it comes to framing, it is not completely fabricated, and when it is said that it is not an indisputable fact, it is this half-truth and half-false question that cannot be categorically denied and said that there is absolutely no such thing. is the most disturbing.

Accepting bribes is put aside in advance, just one thing that does not pay attention to agriculture and mulberry is a taboo that must not be fanned. As a prince, he should understand the truth that the Qing Dynasty values ​​agriculture and the people and food is the sky, even It is definitely not what he should do to replace the punishment of those rich second generations with money for the purpose of preventing floods.

Many things can be done cheaply when he is a subordinate official, as long as the matter is not up to the heavens, it doesn't matter, and the problem of everyone's peace and harmony between the two phases has also been perfectly solved, but this way of handling things has been taken to the Golden Temple It is an extremely unreasonable and muddled act of knowing the law and breaking the law. The most important thing in the court is the word "public". All laws are public, which means that everything must be done in accordance with the laws of the Qing Dynasty. All cheap things are available. It's unfair.

Therefore, Yinqi has not yet argued, and has already fallen into a disadvantage.It's just that Yin Qi, the protagonist who is in the whirlpool, is not moved by the court situation. The first thing to do when he wakes up early this morning is to eat.

"Fifth elder brother gave you a piece of duck in soup today, a piece of hot pot with swallows stewed in Wannianqing wine, a piece of steamed buns rolled with bamboo knots, four pieces of side dishes on enamel dishes, and a piece of boiled pastry with soup. Long live God feels sorry for you You, even if you are in good health now, it is also because Eunuch Liang ordered you to supplement your dietary needs, so that your body does not lose its vitality."

Baoguan, the head apprentice of the imperial chef in the imperial dining room, had a clever mouth, and while talking wildly, he brought the food from the food box to the table.

Yin Qi was sitting on a mahogany chair in the courtyard, looking at the plates of dishes that were still steaming and the ingredients were fresh, delicious, delicious, and exquisite. For some reason, he remembered the few bowls of clear soup he ate when he first arrived in Huizhou. Cold noodles with little water.

Liang Shan on the side was so preoccupied that he stood behind Yin Qi like a pillar, and even Bao Guan gave him several winks to remind him that Bu Cai completely ignored it as if he didn't see it.

"Hero, are you hungry?" Yin Qi slightly turned his head to look at Liang Shan who was still wandering in his mind and asked, Liang Shan woke up when he said this, but before Liang Shan could speak, Yin Qi said again: "If you are hungry, sit down and eat together Bar!"

"I don't dare. It's not right for a slave to think too hard when he's on an errand, but please punish him." Liang Shan knelt down without even daring to lift his head. If you are absent-minded, ask your master to remind you of the truth.

But Yinqi looked at Liang Shan who was kneeling at his feet, and felt another sadness in his heart. When he was in Huizhou Mansion, he never talked about these empty etiquettes. Although he and Liang Shan, Cao Luan, and Liu Qinghui were not like brothers, they were still like friends. But now it's back to being a master and a servant, but he's not used to it.

Yin Qi said with a cold face: "Get up! What are you thinking?"

Liang Shan picked up the chopsticks on the table, grabbed his fifth elder brother's favorite pastry and put it in the bowl first, but he deliberately avoided answering the fifth elder brother's question and changed the subject, saying: "You grow this pastry Bo, your favorite on weekdays, if it gets cold, it won’t taste good.”

He didn't want to say it, and Yin Qi didn't force it. He just said: "There are some things that you and I think about are meaningless after all. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. It's meaningless to care about these things. We just do our duty well."

As soon as Yin Qi finished speaking, the little eunuch at the door came to report to Cao Luan and the Cao guards were also here, Yin Qi shook his head and couldn't help laughing, but he was ginsenged in a book, why one by one seemed to have contracted some serious illness Usually, those who lined up are coming to comfort themselves.

"Call in!" Yin Qi smiled and calmly picked up shredded duck and seasonal vegetables piled high in the bowl. He couldn't help but muttered in his heart when these vegetables and seasonal vegetables would become a great supplement. How can eating meat be called supplementation!

"Minister Cao Luan..."

"Okay, okay, don't do this! You are a busy person, but I haven't seen you since I returned to the capital. Are you so kind to come to see my fifth elder brother who is being besieged to accept bribes today? "Yin Qi bluntly interrupted Cao Luan's originally prepared greetings and remarks.

Seeing him talking and laughing so much, Cao Luan's heart felt a little more relaxed, he just said: "I see that your mentality is quite good, and your appetite has not diminished, so you must not be so troubled in your heart?"

"Worrying and worrying, mediocrity. If you don't worry about yourself, why worry? It's useless to think too much. Now I eat and drink well and take good care of my body. Now it's a done deal. I will be besieged by mobs and punished by Khan Ama." Forget it, could it be that you are still called to kill me?" Yin Qi said this lightly, as if he was talking about whether lunch was good or not, and whether it was salty or not.

Cao Luan untied the official hat on his head, took out the embroidered handkerchief in the inner pocket and wiped it clean slowly, then continued to speak, Yin Qi was also patient, Cao Luan didn't say anything, and he didn't rush or ask, although Yin Qi knew that Cao Luan's rare visit would not be as simple as just asking for warmth, but he was really depressed and didn't ask a word.

In the end, it was Cao Luan who spoke the words. He smiled and said, "Nowadays there are many disputes in the court, but none of these disputes is related to you. No one really cares about your affairs."

Hearing this, Yin Qi couldn't help but froze with his chopsticks in his hands, completely unable to understand what Cao Luan meant, and asked stupidly, "What do you mean by that...?"

"Now there are nothing more than two disputes between the DPRK and China. One is whether to fight or not to fight the battle with the Junggar tribe; the other is whether the battle with the Junggar tribe should be fought by the Lord Long Live himself?"

Liang Shan: "What? The imperial conquest?"

Bao Guan: "Yu Jia... Yu Jia's personal conquest?"

The two asked almost in unison, how could such a surprising thing happen, how could Long Live Lord, who is a thousand-dollar body, be able to drive himself to conquer, if he hurts a monarch who came to the Qing Dynasty at any rate, his life would be lost possible, then...

"It's not the first time. What's the fuss? In the battle of Ulan Butong, Khan Ama's king Shida defeated Galdan's defensive camel city composed of more than ten thousand camels. I haven't seen that kind of Shengjing when I was young." , now that Galdan is overthinking his abilities and raising troops again, how much chance will he have of winning?"

Holding a pure white porcelain spoon in his hand, Yin Qi gently skimmed a few slices of goji berries in the lotus petal bowl, because he knew in his heart that this expedition was also a great victory, so he naturally spoke in a leisurely manner.

Cao Luan couldn't help nodding his head when he heard this, and said in agreement: "What my Master Wang said must be invincible. It's just after this battle. Have you...thought about it?"

A bright red wolfberry lies quietly on the pure white porcelain spoon, like the sun in this world, it hangs high above the sky to cover up all the colors in the world, but the proud sun does not know that the porcelain spoon flips lightly The sun's brilliance was covered by dark clouds and fell into the dust.

Standing under the shade of the tree, Cao Luan looked at the ruddy-faced fifth elder brother, and said softly: "This time, the emperor ordered all the sons to accompany us, and the crown prince supervises the country."

"So what? It's a matter of course for the crown prince to supervise the country. Brothers are also at the age of making contributions. Khan Ama intends to train us, so it's a matter of course!" Yin Qi said indifferently, adding a piece of duck shreds from time to time, not letting go The fear of going to war ruins today's cuisine.

But Cao Luan was a little unreasonable, intending to make Yinqi feel uncomfortable, Cao Luan spoke very slowly, but every word was aimed at stabbing people's heart.

"Long Live Lord intends for you to lead the Zhenghuang Banner Camp to fight in the middle of the army. You don't know what the Zhenghuang Banner Camp means? It was personally led by the emperors of my dynasty, from the eldest brother to the eighth elder brother. This time, you are the only one in charge of Zhenghuang Qi. Not to mention that the elder brother can't see it this time, the prince who wants to stay in Beijing will have a special feeling in his heart!

You originally occupied the favor of the Empress Dowager and her elders. Who among you elder brothers is not envious or...resentful?As far as I know, your relationship with Eldest Brother and His Highness the Crown Prince seems not very close, right?You said that after going through Junggar again, what is the situation like? "

Cao Luan's remarks were extremely out-of-the-ordinary, and every word and every word was a serious crime that should be dismissed from the official position and sent back to the original place, but it was the truth that made people feel helpless.

"You're getting bolder, Guard Cao?" Yin Qi put down the chopsticks in his hands with a cold face, and made them so strong that even three or two drops of the snow-white thick soup stewed in the bowl were splashed.Yinqi said: "I treat you very well on weekdays, have you forgotten the rules? What should be said and what should not be said, there is no sense! The matter of the expedition has not yet been decided, what is the arrangement? You waited for random guesses to fill the Forbidden City with gossip?"

Yin Qi never said such harsh words, so we knew that he was really angry today, but Cao Luan, who was always smart, seemed like a fool today, not going down the slope, but speaking even more harshly.

"Is what I said today false? Every sentence is true! Now who doesn't know that Long Live Lord likes his fifth son the most, and the dissatisfaction of the princes and elder brothers has not been a day or two! Are you really not at all for that?" Are you going to do it yourself? Fifth elder brother, you..."

Yin Qi: "Shut up!"

Cao Luan: "Don't you want to go one step further?"
