Daiyu reads novels every day

Seeing that the emperor didn't respond, Yong Chen couldn't help feeling bored, he just said: "It's the minister who was reckless and hurt the courtier, how to punish depends on the emperor's will."

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said indifferently: "Since you made a mistake unintentionally, how could I punish you?" Then he glanced at him, "Even if it was intentional, would I punish you King Yong for such a trivial matter?"

Yongchen choked, and just about to answer, the emperor turned his head away.

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan looked at the guards that lined up down the mountain. The lanterns carried by the attendants meandered along the mountain road into a long red dragon. Looking at it in the night, there was a sense of unpredictable ghosts and ghosts.He gathered his five fingers on Yong Chen's arm, and suddenly said: "Today, the Secretary of Farming came in to order flowers and trees for various gardens. The lotus seeds at Changchun Garden have not been selected yet, so let you decide .”

"My brother is not proficient in these flowers and plants, but Liu Wuhua..."

"Don't you want to plant lotus in the garden in Gusu?" Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan smiled, his handsome side face revealed a bit of old tenderness, "Try your hand with my Changchun Garden first, and then move it to yours." Go to Gusu garden."

Yong Chen was stunned.

Seeing him in a daze, Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan glanced at him and said with a smile: "What? I remember that in your Gusu garden, the lotus pond has been dug - only the water has not been diverted yet."

"Your Majesty has a good memory." Yong Chen murmured, he felt a sense of unfamiliar excitement about this long-lost gossip, "My brother has been living in a muddle these days, and I haven't asked Su Zimo about the Gusu Garden. "

"It's not okay to live in a muddle." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan sighed, "A while ago, the government was in turmoil, and you were recuperating, so I let you go. Now it seems that the injury is almost healed. Choose another day Follow me to court."

Yongchen was stunned, and suddenly remembered Han Yue's words before leaving, "Since you have chosen another road, you should let it go completely. Take both roads, and sooner or later you will have to split." Looking at this scene again, I couldn't help it. Stop laughing out loud.

"What are you laughing at?"

"My brother thought of a joke." Yong Chen stroked the corner of his eyes, and said again: "The emperor's kindness, I am afraid that my brother will fail. These days of recuperation, I have grown lazy." Seeing the emperor, I have to wait again Persuasion, and then said: "Besides, my younger brother should also consider his own life. The so-called family and career. Now that my younger brother's family has not yet been established, how can I be your right-hand man? I hope the emperor will give me some time. Hang around for a few days at that warm and fragrant nephrite."

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan lowered his eyes, and said: "What joke do you think of? It also makes me happy."

Yongchen was just an excuse, he couldn't think of any joke for a while, he just said: "I interrupted and forgot when I was talking."

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan stopped in his tracks, glanced at him quietly, and then walked down the mountain again without saying a word.

At the foot of the mountain, Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan got into the carriage first.

Su Danmo took advantage of the free time and whispered to Yong Chen: "Master Seventeen, you can just make a joke, just to make the emperor happy. Logically, this old slave shouldn't say such things, but after watching , there is nothing that can make the emperor happy, it's all bad things..."

Yong Chen said with a half-smile but not a smile: "My lord has become a pleasure for the emperor?" After getting into the carriage, seeing the emperor's eyes closed and resting his mind, he simply leaned against the wall of the carriage and fell asleep.

They didn't speak to each other, and when they returned to the palace, the two walked into Yuqing Palace one after the other.

"I……"

"Brother..."

They were taken aback for a moment, and Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said: "You talk first."

"I implore the emperor to allow the younger brother to leave the palace." Yong Chen typed out the manuscript for a long time, and said in an orderly manner, "The emperor originally kept the younger brother in the palace, firstly because he was sympathetic to the younger brother's needs for healing, and secondly because he was worried about rebellion against the party outside; Now that my younger brother is in good health, Yongyi and Yongdan are gone, and the bandits who rebel against the party are leaderless will not be a good thing. My younger brother has lived in the palace for a long time, and there is no one in charge of the house, so it is not appropriate for a long time; moreover, with my younger brother's status Because of your status, you really shouldn’t stay in the residence of the emperor for a long time. Therefore, I hope the emperor will let you go out of the palace and return to the mansion.”

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan finished listening quietly, and said softly: "Kneel down."

"what?"

"Hundreds of ministers and people, the prince of the Viscount, all need to kneel and beg when they see me play something." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan stared at Yongchen, and there seemed to be a flame burning deep in his black and angry eyes, "To play something with me, Why don't you kneel, Prince Yong?"

Yong Chen gritted his teeth, lifted the corner of his robe, and knelt down straight.

The knee hit the cold gold brick, and there was a muffled "gudong", which sounded extremely scary in the silent night.

"Chendi, King Yong'an of Yongjun County, I beg the emperor to let me go out of the palace and return to the mansion." Yong'an paused every word, kneeling straight, even his neck was tense.

"Come here." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan's eyes were cold, but he smiled with the corners of his mouth, "Escort Prince Yong back to the mansion."

Yongchen got up abruptly, took two steps outside, then stopped suddenly, and said: "Your brother is impolite." Then he turned around, knelt down towards Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan, slowly lowered his head, and His forehead was pressed against the gold brick, "Thank you, the emperor Hong En." His fingers were clasped tightly into claws, clasping the gold brick tightly.

"Aiqing is flat." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan's voice trembled faintly.

Yongchen got up, and retreated backwards to the gate of the palace like a courtier, this time he turned and left, until he walked out of the gilded and colorful Yuqing Palace, he never looked back.

In the hall, Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan leaned over while clutching his heart, trembling.

Su Danmo was shocked, "Tell the imperial physician!"

"Fetch, fetch water..." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said intermittently: "It is Zhang Tianshi's golden elixir that has worked. This medicine burned my heart and mouth... Don't pass on the imperial doctor..." After drinking three cups of clear water, this Then gradually he recovered, his cheeks were flushed red, and he looked healthier than before.

Su Danmo saw it, and said worriedly: "This medicine is good, why don't you ask Zhang Tianshi to make a few more pills..."

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan closed his eyes and shook his head, "Even if he is a celestial master, it is hard to violate the destiny."

But he said that Yongchen went all the way back to the county prince's mansion holding back his anger.

The steward then stepped forward to report: "A lot of military officers have come to ask for an interview these days. Seeing that His Royal Highness is not here, they left only greeting cards and congratulatory gifts and left. It just so happened that the new admiral of the Nine Sects, Zhang Laoshi and Mr. Zhang, came to the door. The waiter is waiting, Your Highness, you will be back soon! Did you see me?"

"Tell him to go away!" Yong Chen was so angry that he wanted to burn himself, and was so angry that his hands shook and he couldn't untie his robe for a long time, so he simply tore off his belt, and angrily said: "Lianxi is a bitch. You don’t have long eyes to serve!” He scolded the housekeeper, “My lord is locked in the palace, so you won’t be able to do anything in this house, huh? You don’t even have a servant girl—what kind of county prince’s house?” The more he said, the more angry he became. With a wave of his arm, he pushed down a flower stand with a "crash" and laughed when he saw that it was in a mess. He simply smashed something with his hand, and shouted: "Junwang's mansion! Junwang's mansion! Fuck it! I don't care!"

All the old people in the mansion knew that His Royal Highness's temper came and went quickly, but it was the first time he had seen such a red-eyed and ready-to-eat person like today, and no one dared to come forward to persuade him.

"Your Highness, Miss Li is here." It was Lianxi who quietly went to beg Li Man'er to come forward.

Li Man'er stood outside the door and looked around, and saw that the house was in a mess, and His Royal Highness was sitting on the only intact sandalwood table in the house panting, and couldn't help being surprised.

"Your Highness, why are you so angry?" Li Man'er hugged her pipa and said gently, "I will sing a song for you to calm down." Her actions were gentle and her clothes were plain. Respectful and unfamiliar, but kind and friendly.

If you don't say she is a singing girl, I'm afraid that others will mistake her for Yong Chen's elder sister.

Today, Yong Chen's mood was not going well, and he said coldly: "Who told you to come? What about the rules in the house? Lord, anyone can come here if they want?"

Li Man'er blushed with embarrassment, buried her face on the neck of the pipa, and was about to leave.

"I didn't mention you." Yong Chen looked out the door, "Lianxi, you bastard! Get out of here, kneel!" Seeing Lianxi come in and kneel, he suddenly remembered the scene in Yuqing Palace , the emperor ordered him to kneel down—he finally became like everyone else, and became a servant in the eyes of the emperor.

Thinking of this, Yong Chen became more and more upset, and waved his hands: "Get out!" Seeing Li Man'er standing there, at a loss, he felt pity, and said: "Just pick up a few tunes and play."

In a panic, Li Man'er flicked her fingers, and the music that popped up was the most practiced and most familiar in the past.

"The empty room is heavy to find, and the words are forgotten to break the gold...Yingfu Han's house wine, Xueli Chu Wangqin...The light fragrance in the Guangdian, the high platform is far away..."

Listening to her playing, Yongchen gradually relaxed at the beginning, lying on his back on the red sandalwood square table, when he heard the sentence "the light in the hall is light and the hair is light, the high platform is far away", he suddenly sat up again, his eyes were like torches, fixed on Li Man'er.

Li Man'er was startled, pressed her fingers lightly, stopped the sound of the pipa, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"Who taught you this song?"

"Return to Your Highness, it's the gentleman in the opera house." Li Man'er breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a light smile: "This piece is not difficult to learn, and the tone is beautiful. Five or six years ago——when the slaves first learned the pipa, this piece The song is the first lesson for all the singers, and eight or nine out of ten will know it. Your highness just said that you don't want to stick to any one, and your servant picked the one you are most familiar with..." And said: "But your highness doesn't like it? The servant girl will change the song again."

"No need to change, this one is very good." Yong Chen smiled to himself, because he was too sensitive, he lay back on the red sandalwood square table, covered his face with his sleeves, and said in a low voice: "This one is very good, I like it Listen. You can just sing this piece..."

"Yes, Your Highness." Li Man'er responded softly, and continued singing from where it left off, "The fragrance is light in the Guangdian, and the high platform is far away..."

A tune was sung back and forth countless times until Li Man'er's voice became hoarse.

Only then did Yongchen wake up like a dream, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your hard work, let's stop here tonight."

"Your servant is not working hard." Li Man'er's voice was slightly hoarse, "It is too late for my servant to thank His Highness, so what's the point of singing a few songs?"

Yongchen was stunned for a moment, then said: "You mean Zou Tingyan?" Then asked: "How is he now?"

"Thanks to His Royal Highness, Mr. Zou has been released from prison, and is currently staying at the Jingzhong Hotel."

Yong Chen thought for a while, and said: "This king will send someone to invite him to the mansion tomorrow—no, this king will send someone to invite him right away! This king will not only welcome him into the mansion, but also welcome him with great fanfare, and go personally. catch!"

"Your Highness!" Seeing that Yong Chen was about to take action, Li Man'er knelt down anxiously and said, "Your Highness, think twice! Although Mr. Zou is an old acquaintance with this servant, but after all, he is a counselor in the palace of the Zhongjun Prince who is plotting rebellion—Your Highness, if you go out with great fanfare! Pick up a counselor who rebelled against the prince, you, what do you want the emperor to think!"

"What will the emperor think?" Yong Chen leaned over to stare at Li Man'er, and asked, "What do you think the emperor will think?"

Li Man'er was slightly stunned, and said anxiously: "Naturally, I would think that His Highness also has the heart of disobedience."

Yong Chen laughed loudly, pulled Li Man'er away, and walked away.

In the early morning of the next day, just before dawn, Yong Chen and his group returned home, bringing Zou Tingyan who had just been picked up from the hotel.

After arriving at the gate of the mansion, I saw Su Danmo, the first eunuch next to the emperor, coming to welcome him.

Yong Chen turned cold, got off his horse, and said to Lianxi: "A bastard who doesn't know the rules, why don't you set up an incense case? Eunuch Su is here, there must be an imperial edict."

Lianxi was scolded for no reason, and was wronged, muttering: "Why don't you understand the rules?"

Su Danmo hurriedly said with a smile: "Your Highness is joking, this old servant is ordered by the emperor, but there is no imperial edict."

"My king never jokes." Yong Chen said with a sneer, "I'm used to joking, and it should be fun for others to just treat me as my king."

"Hey, this..." Su Danmo couldn't speak to him, so he just took out the booklet, "This is the booklet for the selection and breeding of lotus flowers in the palace, please come down and choose." Seeing Yong Chen's face seemed to refuse, he hurriedly said with a smile: " You see, it was still dark when this old slave left the palace—good my Seventeenth Lord, this old slave can't afford to toss about this old bone, I just think you are sympathetic to this slave."

Yong Chen took the vermilion pen, randomly selected a few items from the booklet, and said irritably, "In the future, if the emperor finds me for such a thing, you can block it for me and it's over."

Su Danmo took the brochure, leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "Master Seventeen, Lord Seventeen, Your Majesty... Is the Emperor apologizing to you? You know it in your heart, so let it go. Who can really follow me?" Where is the emperor angry?"

Yongchen sneered and said: "Yo, the emperor is sorry, is it so good?" He said again, "Eunuch Su, I have newly invited Mr. Zou to come to the house as a guest, so please stay with me." He went straight into the house without even having refreshments call.

Zou Tingyan was walking beside Yong Chen, and the bamboo stick in his hand touched the stone path in front of him, making his voice sound with a wonderful sense of rhythm, "What Su Gonggong just said was wrong."

"He said a lot of wrong words." Yong Chen sneered, but still asked: "Which sentence are you referring to?"

Zou Tingyan said: "Who can really be angry with the emperor?" He repeated Su Danmo's words, seeming to find this question very interesting, "Isn't that His Highness?"

"This king?"

"That's right." Zou Tingyan still looked like the old god was there, pointing left and right on the bamboo tent in his hand until he reached a fork in the road. angry..."

Yong Chen also stopped, looking at the blind scholar in front of him who just got out of prison.This person is really strange, those empty eyes, those skinny hands, even the cracked lower end of the bamboo stick for exploring the way, combined with his demeanor and tone of speech - it is really extremely strange.Seeing that Zou Tingyan intends to show off, Yong Chen asked with a smile: "If one day the king no longer really gets angry with the emperor, then what will happen?"

"That will be the day His Highness enthrones as emperor."

Yong Chen's complexion changed drastically.

However, Zou Tingyan seemed to just say "today's weather is really nice", and the bamboo stick in his hand "da da" lit the stone path, and asked, "Your Highness, should we go left or right?"

"Ayan!" Li Man'er came out from the ear room, saw the person coming, and was so shocked that the pipa in her arms fell to the ground.

Zou Tingyan listened intently, his usual indifferent face suddenly showed a look of anxiety, he said: "Man, Maner?" His bony hands clenched the yellowed bamboo stick tightly, as if relying on it to support him so as not to fall go down.

Yong Chen glanced at it, felt pity in his heart, and said: "Mr. Zou, let the maid in the house take you to the guest room." He signaled Li Man'er to come forward and let the two meet in private.

Yongchen spent a few days of comfortable life in his mansion, and then Liu Wuhua came to his door.

"The last time we ransacked the house, we haven't returned to the emperor yet." Liu Wuhua seemed to be disregarding the previous revenge, as if he had completely forgotten about being whipped by Yong Chen—although the bruise on his face had not disappeared That's not what the red welt says.

"Master Liu can do things like reincarnation. Although I am the leader and you are the deputy, who doesn't know that Master Liu is the real master? This king is just a name." Yong Chen didn't even raise his eyes. , dropped a son, and said to Zou Tingyan: "The gentleman is gone."

Liu Wuhua was helpless, he didn't want to talk too much when he saw outsiders, so he just said: "If your highness changes his mind, he knows where to find the minister. It's about the emperor, it's very important."

Only then did Yongchen lift his eyelids and look at him, but he didn't say whether he would agree or not, he just said: "Lianxi, take Mrs. Liu out - watch carefully, don't let the dog bite you."

As soon as Liu Wuhua left, Zou Tingyan laughed profusely.

"What are you laughing at?" Yong Chen hesitated, looking at the chessboard worryingly.

Li Man'er walked over from the ear room, and asked: "What are you laughing at, sir?" Then asked: "It's just a visitor—this pot of tea should be replaced."

Yong Chen said: "What kind of tea do you want to change? Even the teapot he used was smashed by me! The thing used by that pug, I think it's dirty even at a glance."

Zou Tingyan said leisurely: "That pug is the most trustworthy minister of the emperor. I know him a little bit, he is quite talented in literature, and he is not a bad person. It seems that he is at odds with you, Your Highness. It is better to be rare." After finishing speaking, listen After Yongchen settled down, he turned his head to listen to Li Man'er.

Li Man'er said: "Heizi, move three rows to the left and go to the second row, and move two places to the right."

Zou Tingyan said: "White characters, two columns from the right and the next row, and move up three places."

Yong Chen picked up the eaten chess piece, stared at the chessboard, but his mind didn't know where to go, this game was naturally lost.

Zou Tingyan said indifferently: "Your Highness hates Liu Wuhua, so Liu Wuhua must know it well. He is willing to send it to His Highness like this..." He seemed to be scruples about Li Man'er, so he didn't say the following, only said: "Most likely thing."

**

Yong Chen returned to the palace and waited outside, when he heard the voice of the emperor inside, "Master Zhang, I still have delusions of chasing longevity..." He had never waited for the emperor to summon him for such a long time.

Waiting from early morning until noon, only to see the door inside opened slightly, and a white-bearded man in a Taoist robe came out. This is Zhang Tianshi, who has recently gained the emperor's attention and built the world's first temple for him.

Yongchen watched the Taoist walk over coldly.

Zhang Tianshi walked up to Yong Chen and said, "Wan An, the king of Yongjun." Looking at his face, he said again: "Your Highness must be vigilant against people related to Hong in the near future. Pindao sees the close female relatives around His Highness, and soon there will be life and death. Disaster..." He seemed to see something from the void, "It's red, small, and seems round..." He described intermittently, pinching the tip of his little finger to gesture how small it was.

Yong Chen sneered and said: "It seems that the magic power of the celestial master is not enough."

Zhang Tianshi ignored his sarcasm, and looked at him carefully with compassionate eyes.

"Did you use this to scare the emperor?" Yong Chen sneered and said, "I heard that you used the matter of rescuing the king as a cover to recruit followers?" He snorted, "That's the king who attacked me He avoided the critical point when he was about to die—this king really wants to kill himself, and there will be room for more than ten days of coma? He will die immediately."

Zhang Tianshi didn't argue, just said: "Whether it is true or not, His Highness knows it in his heart." After saying that, he wanted to leave.

Yong Chen sneered, stepped forward to clasp his shoulders, and waved out his hand, but saw that the person in front of him was gone.

Suddenly Zhang Tianshi's voice came from behind, "Your Highness."

Yong Chen was shocked, this demon way!Turning around quickly, he saw Zhang Tianshi closed his eyes and chanted a mantra, half-hanging in the air with his legs crossed.

"Your Highness, do you believe me?" Zhang Tianshi opened his eyes, smiled slightly, stretched his legs and stood up, and walked outside the hall again.

This time, Yongchen didn't stop him.

Yong Chen looked at his empty hands just now, it turned out that what Liu Wuhua told him to lead him to his house - the emperor was addicted to Taoism and took pills was not groundless.

"Your Highness, why are you in a daze? The emperor is waiting for you inside!"

Yong Chen came back to his senses and stepped into the inner hall, only to see that the smoke from the incense candle left by Master Zhang Tianshi had not dissipated. Through the lingering smoke, he saw Emperor Jing Yuan who was sitting in front of the futon and fiddling with the alchemy furnace Yong Zhan.

"Here?" Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan got up and signaled the eunuch to move down the alchemy furnace.

"Wait a minute." Yong Chen said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor has an elixir here, and I want to ask for one to try."

"What kind of elixir? It's just a few medicines prepared by Zhang Tianshi." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan waved his hand, "Can medicines be obtained randomly?" He asked again: "The errand of raiding the house was done well, I have heard Liu Wuhua say It's..."

Yong Chen handed over the playbook of reinstatement, and said again: "I don't know what kind of medicine Zhang Tianshi is preparing for?"

"It's just for dizziness—it's my old problem." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan didn't want to talk about it.

Yong Chen said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, my brother has also been dizzy for the past two days, it's just right to take this medicine."

The smile on Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan's face dissipated, he looked at Yong Chen, and said in a deep voice: "You have come to see me for the first half month, will you make me angry when you see me?"

"Your brother made the emperor angry?" Yong Chen grinned, and lifted the corner of his robe, "Then according to the rules, should I kneel down and apologize?" The smile on his face also cooled down.

"You!" Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan bit his lips and held back, pointing to the door of the palace: "I have a lot of business today, I don't have time to compete with you, you go down."

"Yes, it's a lot of work—it's a lot of work, but I can talk with Yaodao Qing who doesn't know where it came from all morning!" Seeing the emperor almost biting his lower lip to bleed, the remaining rationality made him quickly retreat.

As soon as he came out of the palace gate, Yong Chen scolded in a low voice, originally he wanted to persuade the emperor not to take the golden elixir, but he was in a hurry—he didn't know why, but he broke up again.

Yong Chen left the palace, stopped and stopped on the road, frowned, thoughtfully, ordered Lianxi to prepare things, and asked Qin Baiyu to summon the guards to follow.

After a while, Lianxi's things were ready, and Qin Baiyu ordered them together.

"Let's go, go with me today to experience the so-called No. [-] Taoism in the world." Yong Chen gave the order, but saw Lianxi staring at the teahouse not far away in a daze, and scolded with a smile: "Macaque, why are you so dazed?"

"The servant looked at the man who just went in, he looked like Mr. Bao from Jia's mansion."

"What about Mr. Bao and Mr. Bei?" Yong Chen sneered, he was full of thoughts on dealing with that demon, and didn't pay much attention to Lianxi's words.

But it was Baoyu who went to the teahouse.

Not just Baoyu, but also Chengye.

Cheng Ye, the bastard son of the late Fifth Prince Yongdan.

Because of Yongchen's relationship, Baoyu was able to study in the study as a child of the Jia family. Among the royal children who were studying at that time, the only one who was similar to Baoyu in age and had a congenial personality was Cheng Ye from the Five Princes' Mansion.

Although the fifth and ninth princes tried to rebel because of Concubine De, Uncle Tian Guo, etc. colluding with the Jin people, they were investigated and dealt with by Emperor Jinglong.Concubine De had a glass of poisoned wine, and she only said to the outside world that she had died of a sudden illness; Uncle Tian, ​​the Fifth Prince, and the Ninth Prince were all imprisoned by a high wall.

Since then, the fifth prince's mansion has gone from bad to worse, but at that time there was still the sixteenth prince who had the same mother as the fifth prince as a guardian; at that time, the sixteenth prince—Cheng Ye's sixteenth uncle was still proud of Emperor Jinglong. Son, there are even a group of supporters who say that Emperor Jinglong is optimistic about Uncle Sixteen and wants to change him to be the crown prince.

So at that time, although life in the fifth prince's residence was not as good as before, it was still manageable.Big and small, he is also a child of the royal family.

However, when the sixteenth prince also had something bad happen, life would be difficult for the children of Concubine De.

Fortunately, Baoyu treats people sincerely. He used to be close to Cheng Ye because of his royal status, and now naturally he will not alienate Cheng Ye just because he sees Cheng Ye losing power.So since the sixteenth prince broke things, the relationship between Cheng Ye and Baoyu has become more and more close.

"This is a tea house, why do you still drink so much wine?" Baoyu sighed, and persuaded him: "In the future, you should also calm down—everytime I am at home, my family always persuades me like this. I understand, I’m not worrying, since I’ve gone through a few things, especially the ransacking of my house a few days ago——I’ve only done it. Nothing is as important as living well.”

"Look at you, you were scared out of your wits after being raided and went home." Cheng Ye smiled and said, "Your house is fine after all, but there are some things missing, and everyone is good. They are better than me." .Since my father had an accident, the mansion is no longer what it used to be. You saw me in the study room. I was originally a concubine, just like my elder brother. I was always bullied by Cheng Hao. Later that year when Mulan Qiushou came back, Somehow, Cheng Hao's biological mother disappeared, and Cheng Hao also settled down for a while - who knows, something happened right after his father and Uncle Jiu, and even the imperial concubine in the palace disappeared...Since then , people from other four roads dare to ride on our heads! Not only our family, the children of Uncle Jiu’s family, but also the remaining children of Uncle Sixteen now—how about being a child like you? The rich and well-fed son of an official's family."

"Hey, don't say that... We officials like us also have our own troubles. If a leaf falls on you, you can kill us. A few days ago, the house was ransacked. How hard the family went Send me out for refuge, but fortunately nothing will happen in the end, if something happens, what's the point of living alone?" Thinking of her sisters, old ladies and wives at home, Baoyu couldn't help crying, The panic that had been suppressed in the past few days finally surfaced, and he held back at least, and just said: "In the past, I only looked powerful from the outside, but I didn't know that Jia Shi Wang Xue, the four big families, how powerful they are! Something happened, everything fell down, what can we do?"

"Exactly. Aren't we the same? Our family, Uncle Ninth's family, and Uncle Sixteen's family all collapsed at the same time? You should also be careful. This is the first time that your house has been raided. Your family hid there." If there are a few more times, who can guarantee that they can hide every time?"

Baoyu couldn't help being stunned, and said again: "What can we do? The gods above fight, and we suffer here."

Cheng Ye looked at him, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Our children will have a party in two days, do you want to come too?"

"Children of your family? Princes and grandchildren, what am I going to do?"

"It's just our family, Uncle Nine's family, and Uncle Sixteen's family who are older..."

Baoyu was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Cheng Ye speechless for a while.

***

Yongchen left the outskirts of Beijing and went to Tianxia No. [-] Temple. When he arrived at the foot of Taoist Temple, he saw five or six farmers wiping their tears on the side of the road with their children.

"Go and ask what's wrong."

When Lianxi came back from asking, Hui reported: "His Royal Highness, they said that Zhang Tianshi's Taoist temple wanted to recruit Taoist disciples. The common people in the suburbs of Beijing, whoever is selected by Zhang Tianshi, must send their children who are eight years old and under twelve years old. If there is a boy from a wealthy family who loves his son, he will give 100 taels of incense money to cancel the name of the child in the Taoist temple. These farmers were unfortunately selected by Zhang Tianshi, and they couldn’t get it. Name fee. Your Highness, this person surnamed Zhang is too insignificant. Who can take out 100 taels from ordinary people? Besides, if there is a war in a famine year, some people who can’t afford to have children will send their children to The Taoist Temple of the Buddha Hall is begging for life, but I have never heard of the Daoist Temple of Taiping Nianjing going to the people’s homes to snatch children—whoever has a way to survive, who doesn’t treat their children like eyeballs?”

Yong Chen was furious when he heard this, and said with a sneer, "What if these farmers don't follow?"

"If you don't hand over the incense money and refuse to send your child to a Taoist temple—then the head of the household will be arrested. These farmers don't know how to do it. However, the emperor values ​​Zhang now. Who wouldn’t please him with civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty? I’m afraid that the officials below will send people to handle these things without the surname Zhang’s greeting.”

"Okay, what a Heavenly Master Zhang." Yong Chen asked, "Have you prepared all the things I want you to prepare?"

Lianxi wiped the sweat that didn't exist on her forehead, and said with a smile: "Master, it's really hard to find the few things you want—but the servants have found them all! Don't worry!"

"This demon way is a little tricky, don't be careless." Yong Chen snorted coldly, "Come on, let's go meet this Heavenly Master Zhang!" As he spoke, he clamped his horse's belly and went to the Taoist temple.Lianxi, Qin Baiyu and others followed closely behind.

Walking halfway up the mountain, I suddenly saw a person floating down from the mountain in a trance.

It was none other than Zhang Tianshi.

"Pindao counts that there are distinguished guests coming. The Taoist temple is still being repaired, and there are so many people in a mess, so the poor daoist welcomes you here——His Highness, I don't know why the pindao is here?"

Yongchen reined in his horse and said with a sneer: "Since you can be counted as my king, why don't you count me as my king?"

Zhang Tianshi then raised his hand to count and said with a smile: "The visitor is not kind."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yongchen Long Saber had already been struck!

No one saw how Zhang Tianshi moved. In a split second, Zhang Tianshi disappeared from where he was originally standing, and appeared behind Yongchen again.

"His Royal Highness, you have been rude to the poor Dao again and again—don't blame the poor Dao for being rude!"

"Lianxi! Fuck you!" Yong Chen yelled.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Lianxi called.

Zhang Tianshi looked back in doubt, before he could see clearly, something splashed his face.

Lianxi yelled, "I've won!" and yelled, "A second order! Try Grandpa's shit!"

A foul stench filled the air.

Yongchen laughed loudly, "Yaodao! This black dog's blood and feces are specially designed to destroy evil spirits like you! Is there another way?" He said again: "Qin Baiyu, cut off his head!"

"It's a pleasure to do business with the Seventeenth Master!" Qin Baiyu walked forward quickly, waving a shiny long knife.

Zhang Tianshi felt a chill in his throat, and the last words he heard before he was alive were Yong Chen asking, "Yao Dao, have you ever counted that today is the day of your death?"

After killing everyone, Lianxi became afraid, "Your Highness, how do you explain this to the emperor?" He pointed to the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain with a crying face, "The number one temple in the world appreciated by the emperor has not been built yet. The temple master cut off our heads..." He was about to cry.

"Why are you crying?" Yong Chen tore off Zhang Tianshi's Taoist robe casually, beat his blood gourd-like head into a burden, threw it on his back, got on the horse and said, "How can I explain to the emperor? The emperor still owes me an explanation!" As he spoke, he clipped his horse belly and ran towards the Forbidden Palace.

At the gate of the Forbidden Palace, the guards saw that it was King Yong, but they didn't dare to stop him from dismounting.

Yongchen went straight to the white marble steps, ran across the square where the incident happened that night, until he was stopped by the guards of Qinzheng Hall.

"His Royal Highness, the emperor is discussing matters with the ministers, you can't..."

Yongchen opened his eyes wide and angry, and said angrily: "What the hell are you? Come and tell me that you can't?" He knocked down two rows of guards before he drew his sword.

The guards didn't dare to fight him, but they didn't dare to let him in either.

Inside, Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan learned of the situation and ordered the guards to let Yongchen in.

"Your Highness, according to the rules, Mr. Mian is not allowed to carry weapons..."

Yong Chen slapped the saber on the face of the head of the guard, carrying a bundle of heads into the hall, and sure enough, he saw five or six ministers standing in the hall to perform his duties.Yong Chen threw the burden of the head on the case.

Everyone was startled.

"What are you going to do again?" Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan suppressed his anger, and went to look at the baggage again, "What is this?" He stretched out his hand to tear it apart twice, and vaguely saw what it looked like inside. The burden fell to the ground, "Why are you giving me such things?"

The bundle fell on the ground and rolled twice, and the bloody head rolled out of it.

All the ministers exclaimed, and a military officer took the courage to look at him twice and shouted: "It's Zhang Tianshi!"

"What?" Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan stared at Yongchen, and when he realized that he had cut off Zhang Tianshi's head to show him, he suppressed his emotions and said slowly: "Everyone who loves you, step down."

All of a sudden, everyone dispersed like birds and beasts, only the emperor and Yong Chen were left in the Palace of Qinzheng, and only the grandfather clock in the corner was clicking, clicking, and walking slowly.

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan held down the imperial table, stood up slowly, and stared at Yongchen condescendingly.

Yong Chen indifferently wiped the blood on his clothes, and said with a smile: "What? How should I punish my brother? One life for another, the emperor wants to sentence my brother to be executed, and my brother also confessed."

"You want me to sentence you to death?" Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan slowly walked down from the high platform with his hands behind his back, his face was gloomy and uncertain, his eyes were always locked on Yongchen's eyes.

"Maybe it's a pot of poisoned wine? Three feet of white silk?" Yong Chen grinned, "Or tea mixed with medicine. After drinking it, others will just think it's a natural death."

This is alluding to the death of Yongdan and Yongyi.

The muscles on Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan's face twitched slightly, "What else?" He slowly approached Yongchen.

"What else? Well, choose a field on the outskirts of Beijing, and live in a small courtyard as a prisoner forever?" Yongchen looked at the emperor, and the smile on his face became colder every inch he approached.

Until the smile on Yong Chen's face completely turned cold, and became as terrifying as the smile on the face of a dead man.

Until the emperor was only half an arm away from him.

"Go on..." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan narrowed his eyes, and his deep pupils were filled with surging emotions.

"For another example, send my concubine mother, my eighteenth brother, and me on the road together..."

Yongchen couldn't finish talking this time.

With a crisp sound of "Slap!", the emperor slapped Yong Chen's face with a slap, and roared, "You fucking bastard!" He slapped him with all his strength, and his fingers trembled.

Yongchen was beaten to the side and vomited
