Zong Qiongyao's Haoxiang

As mentioned earlier, the emperor was scolded by the queen mother and finally came out to preside over the government. The court started to operate, opened granaries to send relief food to various places, controlled the spread of the plague, and sent troops to suppress the riots of hungry people...

However, when everything was in full swing, bad news came from the mansion of King Xunjun—Yongzhang, king of Xunjun, passed away.

After the emperor heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, and then ordered the Ministry of Rites to bury him with the ceremony of a county king, then turned around and walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The heirs of Emperor Qianlong are not thin, but they are not rich either.He has fourteen princes so far, but only the fourth prince, sixth prince, eighth prince, eleventh prince, twelfth prince, and fourteenth prince are still alive.Among them, the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother have passed away, and the fourteenth elder brother has been sick all year round.Therefore, only the eighth elder brother, the eleventh elder brother, and the twelfth elder brother are left who can really make things happen.

The emperor drove out all the maids and eunuchs, and sat alone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out. He thought he didn't make any big mistakes, so why did he hurt himself and his children?There are not many emperors who are more dissolute, stupid, and greedy than him in history. How come he is the only one who is so unlucky?

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why the emperor decided not to think about it anymore. God made him unlucky, so he wanted to go against the sky.Once inadvertently, the emperor heard the eunuchs around him say that some Taoist priests in the folk practice exercises, and according to their practice, they can call the wind and rain and even live forever.

The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought to himself, isn't this a good opportunity for him to change his fate against the sky?So they sent people to invite the "old gods" in the Taoist temple, and asked them to perform spells of calling wind and rain.

The 'Old Immortal' really lived up to expectations, he demonstrated his spells to the fullest, and even talked about a set of plausible Taoist theories, which stunned the emperor for a while, and made up his mind to practice Taoism with the old immortals in order to live forever.

Since then, the emperor has completely ignored the government, no matter how much the queen mother persuaded him, it was useless.

The day before King Xunjun's funeral, Haoxiang accompanied Yongzheng to the Prince Xunjun's mansion to offer his condolences.

Since Yongzhang had already left the palace to build a mansion when Yongzhang was young, Yongzhang didn't have a deep impression of Xunjun Wang Yongzhang. He only knew that the third elder brother was in poor health and rarely appeared in front of people, but he did not expect him to be will die so early.

Outside the gate of Xunjun Prince's Mansion, there were no sights, and several servants dressed in white linen stood at the door to greet the mourning guests.

The two entered Xunjun Wangfu, and the accompanying eunuch handed over the elegiac couplet and the written condolence to the steward of the palace, and then the two entered the mourning hall with the steward.

The coffin is placed in the middle of the mourning hall, and there are tablets, incense tables, candles, three animals, offerings and other things in front of the mourning hall.Before the death, there were only Borjijite family of Fujin and Wanyan family of Shufu Jin, the king of Xunjun, who wore heavy filial piety and cried bitterly.Yongzhang originally had a son, but he died before he was one year old, so that the line of King Xunjun was considered extinct.

Yongzhen knelt down before Xunjun King's spirit and offered incense, and then said to Fujin: "My condolences, Fujin cried even more desolately after hearing this."Yongzhen shook his head helplessly and left with Haoxiang.

Out of Xunjun Wang's mansion, Yongzhen buried his head and walked in front, remained silent, and sighed after a while: "The world is really impermanent, only the third sister-in-law and the others suffer." It is impossible for the widow to remarry, Borzigit and the others have no hope in this life.

Hearing this, Haoxiang pulled Yongzhen into an empty alley, hugged him, kissed his forehead, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, I won't allow such a thing to happen On you, even if it is heaven and earth, I will always be by your side."

Yong Xing leaned his head on Hao Xiang's shoulder and hugged him back: "That's not what I'm worried about."

He knew Haoxiang well, and he knew that Haoxiang would guarantee that the two of them would be safe no matter what.Because of this, he is not worried.

"What I'm worried about is this magnificent Qing Dynasty." Yongzheng's eyes revealed sadness.

"You've been too tired recently." Hao Xiang caressed the bruises under his eyes, feeling very distressed.

Many things that have happened recently have really made Yongxin's head big like a bucket.The emperor completely ignored the government and threw it all to the three elder brothers, while he hid in the Yuanmingyuan with many Taoist priests recruited from the people to practice in seclusion.

Only when he really got in touch with the government, did he realize that the Qing Dynasty was a scene of prosperity and prosperity on the surface, but in fact it was like a towering tree whose trunk had been eaten away by moths, leaving only lush branches and leaves, which could be easily blown down by a gust of wind.The bureaucracy, the emptiness of the national treasury, and the unsustainable livelihood of the Eight Banners are all big stones weighing on his heart.

"How can you not be tired?" Yongzheng sighed wearily, and then couldn't help saying angrily: "After the last flood, the granary put 20 shi of rice to relieve the victims, but the number of hungry people flocking to the capital did not decrease but increased. The people who went down reported that less than [-]% of the relief food actually reached the hungry people, or that the granary sent out new rice but the rice in the hands of the people turned into old and rotten rice. Those corrupt officials seemed to never be able to get enough to feed The blood leeches are extremely greedy! Extremely hateful!"

Haoxiang looked at the raging anger in Yongzheng's eyes, let go of his hands, took a step back, and asked calmly: "Corrupting corrupt officials has always been a headache for rulers, but have you forgotten about us?" The agreement? This mess, someone will always take over, why do you care so much?"

It was only then that Yongzhen realized that he had indeed promised Haoxiang that as long as the new emperor came to the throne, they would leave the capital with the queen and Pianpian, and find a peaceful and peaceful place to spend their days leisurely.

But... Yong Xin struggled for a long time before meeting Hao Xiang's eyes and seriously replying: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't fulfill that promise for the time being. I thought I could go back to hiding with you, but I found that I'm far from being so unrestrained The Qing Dynasty has reached the point of its prosperity and decline, but Huang Ama has laid down a heavy burden at this juncture, and the starling and the eleventh brother will only fight for power. I can't watch this powerful empire decline. As the legitimate son of the Aixinjueluo family, who is supported by all people, I have the responsibility to protect her. Can you... understand?"

Now that the words have come to this point, Yong Xin is very disturbed, he wonders if Hao Xiang will understand him?I don't know if Haoxiang is willing to wait for him.He didn't want Haoxiang to leave him because of this....Like a person waiting to be sentenced, he lowered his head and quietly waited for the person beside him to speak.

However, Haoxiang only stared at him with dark eyes, and did not speak for a long time. When Yongzhen was about to despair, he slowly curled the corners of his mouth upwards in a place that Yongzhen could not see, black and bright. There was a different kind of brilliance in his eyes.

Suddenly Haoxiang seemed to be unable to control himself, and suddenly pressed Yongzhen against the wall of the alley, biting his lips frantically, prying open his teeth, capturing his lips and tongue like a beast, constantly Rolling and sweeping in his mouth, until both of them were out of breath, they let go of Yong Xin's red lips that were bitten by him.

"Huh..." Yongzhen gasped for breath, and looked at him suspiciously with a pair of watery eyes.

Haoxiang stretched out his hand, wiped Yongzheng's shiny chin kissed by him, couldn't help leaning over to kiss his rosy lips resoundingly, lowered his head to touch his forehead, the smile in his eyes disappeared again He couldn't hide it, "As expected, he is the one I have my eyes on! Little fool, how can I not understand your thoughts?"

"My boy has finally grown up and knows how to take responsibility. I feel very comforted for the teacher!" Haoxiang took Yongzhen into his arms again, stroked his cheek, and said with a smile: "I missed it, you There are obligations you should fulfill, and I should not bind you. From now on, I will always be behind you, guarding you and waiting for you."

Yong Xing held down his beating heart, although he was glad that Hao Xiang didn't misunderstand him and was willing to wait for him, but he still had worries in his heart, so he asked hesitantly, "Aren't you afraid that I will hinder your practice? "

"Twelve, do you know that I care more about you than my practice?" Haoxiang expressed his heart bluntly, making Yongxin's face suddenly turn into a monkey's butt.

Haoxiang couldn't help bursting out laughing when he saw it, and then straightened his face, and said proudly: "Besides, in the process of cultivation, I think I'm very talented, and it's not like I won't be unable to cultivate the Dao because of a few years of delay."

"Thank you, Brother Hao." Yong Xin smiled brightly, and tiptoed to kiss him on the cheek.

"Thank me, that's not enough!" Hao Xiang grabbed the boy who wanted to hide, pressed him against the wall and kissed him again, and even almost shot his gun.

After a while, the two tidied up their clothes before walking out of the alley, ready to go back to the palace.

However, not far from the entrance of the palace, the two of them were blocked by a large group of people watching the fun.

"what happened?"

"Go and see."

Hao Xiang took Yong Xi to separate the crowd, and when he came to the center of the incident, he found that it was Brother Eleven's carriage that hit someone. The people who were hit were a pair of teenage brothers, and some pieces of wood from the carriage were scattered on the ground.

The two brothers were dressed in simple clothes, and they didn't look like children from any background.The younger brother of the two brothers seemed to be injured more seriously. The elder brother helped the injured younger brother, but did not ask for compensation, and hurriedly prepared to find a place to heal the younger brother.

However, Brother Eleven's coachman took advantage of his master's power to hold the two brothers back and prevent them from leaving: "Hey, you want to run after crashing something! Do you know what the shaft is made of? Huanghualimu, you don’t want to see such a poor face in this life, but you smashed it today! Tell me, how do you pay for it? If you can’t afford it, we will send you to see the official!"

The elder brother didn't want to get entangled with him, so he cupped his hands and said, "Brother, my brother is seriously injured, I have to find a doctor for him, please tell me your address, and I will definitely come to apologize tomorrow."

"Be polite, let me tell you, you have to pay our master 300 taels of silver today, don't make excuses with me, who knows where to find you tomorrow?"

"I am a student of Xian'an Palace, Niu Hulu Shanbao, you can go to Xian'an Palace to find me tomorrow." The elder brother said impatiently with a dark expression.

At this time Eleventh Brother lifted the curtain of the car, stood up, and said with a sneer, "Oh, when did the students of Xian'an Palace School become so arrogant?"

"You..." The elder brother's eyes were burning, it was obvious that the driver drove the car too fast and hurt them, they didn't ask him for an explanation, but the hitter was justified.So he couldn't bear it anymore, and retorted: "Not as good as your coachman."

"Presumptuous, this is Brother Eleven, the boy dares to offend, and he still doesn't kowtow to plead guilty!" The guard next to Eleven Brother scolded.

Niu Hulu Shanbao?Isn't it the big corrupt official He Shen in the future?Didn't expect him to be so downcast?Hao Xiang looked at the boy in the starched white clothes and couldn't help being amazed.

The author has something to say: Wo decided to make Mr. He a competent official, quack quack quack.

Tsk tsk, how malleable a teenage green boy is!
