Jia She

Looking at the whole year, the Qiqiao Festival can be regarded as a very important day, especially for daughters. They can go to the temple to worship Bodhisattva, ask Guanyin to send their children, go to the market to guess riddles and release river lanterns, or put a lantern at home. On the altar, together with the sisters, they worship the Weaver Girl to the moon and express their thoughts... There are many people who choose this day to express their heartfelt love to their sweethearts. If you are taboo to show your face, you can have the courage to do things that you would not normally dare to do.

For example, blocking Jia Enhou in the middle of the road.

In normal times, who would dare to be so insolent?

Generally speaking, when encountering such a situation, either the heart is full of joy and thinks that Lao Tzu is really attractive, or the head is full of black lines, wishing to go back home.Jia Amnesty did not belong to any of these types. When surrounded by people, he stopped and watched calmly. He looked quite calm, without any wrong expression, and he didn't regard it as his own business in his heart. He was just watching a show. .

Because of different family backgrounds, people's personalities and self-cultivation are naturally different. The two groups quarreled for a few words. Seeing that the matter was about to become serious, they heard the sound of wheels rolling, and a carriage came from a distance. Stopping in front of the crowd, the driver didn't lift the curtain, but turned sideways and said, "Fourth Master, it's the sage and celestial master Jia Enhou, who is surrounded in front." Needless to say, if you look at the capital, you can The only person who can afford this title is Yinzhen.The cold-faced Baylor is not just talking. There are too many stories about him, ranging from an 80-year-old man to a three-year-old child.

For the treasury to collect debts and kill high officials.

Not wanting to have a mother for the sake of prosperity and wealth, this is a family tradition of Wu Ya.

……

In the winter of the first year, Kangxi changed the fourth master's jade certificate, erasing him from the name of the concubine Wu Ya, and putting him in the name of the little Tong Jia, and the usually low-key fourth elder brother Yinzhen was pushed to the forefront of the storm.The Tong family placed high hopes on him, which is understandable. Empress Xiaoyi died early and did not leave a brother behind. God became their last hope.

Didn't Jia Enhou also say it?Whether the imperial concubine can change her fate from a virtual phoenix to a real phoenix depends entirely on her adopted son.

What else do you not understand?This is clearly telling Tong Guowei that Yinzhen has a great opportunity to compete with the crown prince for the throne... At first you may find it unbelievable to hear it, but now it seems that the crown prince is dominant, and he holds half of the contacts and resources in the court, ranking No. The one behind him is not the fourth elder brother who was raised by Empress Xiaoyi and half-way recognized Concubine Tong as her mother, nor is it the one who has a certain right to speak in the court and is on the rise relying on the help of Guo Luoluo's family and Jiu Ye The eighth elder brother, but the eldest, the third, and the fifth.

Needless to say, elder brother Yinfei, he has real military power in his hands. Although his cultural accomplishment, sensitivity to politics and decision-making power are not enough, but behind him stands the Nalan family. Today, he has considerable influence on the literati all over the world, and he is a force that cannot be ignored in the court.

The third elder brother shaved his head during Concubine Min's funeral, and had an unpleasant quarrel with Thirteen. He was demoted by Kangxi, and stayed in the cold for a few years. There has been a trend of recovery in the past two years, but he didn't explain what he did. Instead, it was thrown away to compile the calendar.This is very important for farming and farming, but...it won't help the battle for succession.On the day of Kangxi's 49th birthday, he was calculated to take over the hard work of the fourth child. After that, he ran around collecting debts for several months. Yinzhi was serious about his work. He worked very hard, but unfortunately it didn't work.You have just started, and before you get to the point, the other party starts to complain, and your eyes are red as you talk.At this point, he basically didn't know how to answer the conversation. If he still wanted to speak, he would cry directly.

They put on an expression of "you don't understand me, that's heinous", Yin Zhi was persuaded, tossed for a few months, but did not see any results. When Kangxi intervened, he learned from the ministers and knelt in front of the hall to express his difficulties , the listener shook his head.

You can't do this, it doesn't matter, Kangxi is the king of a country and the father of all elder brothers, of course he can understand his son's hard work, since you can't do it, then I won't look for you in the future.Concubine Rong was very disturbed at that time, but later she found that she was not motivated by any reality, she only breathed a sigh of relief after being told a few words, the reaction of their mother and son was exactly the same, they both felt that they had escaped, but in reality they were not.

It's not that Kangxi didn't punish San Age.

He gave the most severe punishment.

That is disappointing him.

As a prince, especially a prince who is ambitious and wants to seize the throne.

It doesn't matter if you do something wrong and stumble, it doesn't matter if you lose support temporarily, it doesn't matter if you are misunderstood and gossip...all of these can be saved, the worst thing is to be abandoned by the emperor and labeled as "trash" by the other party.

You think it was just a failure and should not be directly sentenced to death, but what Kangxi saw was not this, what he saw was the method and attitude of doing things, whether he could accept failure, whether he could frankly reflect on himself, and whether he could stop making so many excuses shirk?Although Yinzhen's method of debt collection is more radical, the effect is always very good. Those old things who cried with snot and tears on the third side will be honest with the cold face of the fourth child, and they will not talk about themselves. No matter how difficult it is, it doesn't mean that you can't survive even if you take out a piece of money, you just give money honestly.

This is the aura, and this is the ability to do things.

Kangxi did not comment on Yinzhen's direct and brutal methods, and the result he wanted was achieved.The emperor didn't have so much free time to care about how the people below did things, what he saw was success or failure.

Although Kangxi lost a lot of points, after all, he was an elder brother who was born in the early years. Yinzhi also has a considerable approval rate. Qi... thanks to the blessings of these people, although Yinzhi has no glorious deeds or great achievements, his influence is not low.

After him is the fifth elder brother Yinqi, whose forehead is an evergreen tree in the harem, the Yifei empress who ordinary concubines dare not mess with easily, the support of Guo Luoluo's family is one aspect, although he has the same father and mother, he and Yinqi It has two advantages over it:

First, the fifth elder brother is very moderate and stable. Although he is not very top-notch in all aspects, he is very balanced and can be called excellent.

Second, he was raised by the Empress Dowager Xiaohui of Ci'an Palace. In the harem, the prince Yinreng, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen under the name of the little Tong Jia, and the tenth elder brother Yin'e, the son of the late Concubine Wen Xi, are more noble than him. , the other brothers are not as good.

……

Yinzhen has sprung up in the past six months. He was raised by Empress Xiaoyi, but because his adoptive mother left early, he returned to his birth mother, Depin. Wu Ya used to serve Tong Jia's maid, Stepping on the face of the Tong family to climb up, step by step to today, it can be said that the Tong family and her are incompatible, and they are not compatible at all. When Yinzhen returned to her, his attitude was still very submissive, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of the Tong family. Considering that the jade document has not been changed from the beginning to the end, the fourth elder brother has nothing to do with the Tong family at all, so they can't support it for nothing. In fact, Yinzhen has no backer these years.

It's different when it's changed to Xiao Tong Jia's name. This empress is the younger sister of Empress Xiaoyi, a noble daughter of the Tong family. , can you be nice to him?

Both Tong Guowei and Tong Guogang are good people, they didn't immediately express their absolute support, but simply expressed their friendliness to Yinzhen, which was enough.

From ministers to eunuchs, they are all clear in their hearts.Although the mountain of the Tong family has not fallen, as they and the Long Live Lord, I am afraid that they will not fall. In the past so many years, they have been in an awkward state. They want to support, but they can't find a suitable person. Don't dare to step back easily... At this point, it is difficult to go further, but it is too easy to retreat. Even so, who dares to take a step back?Once it starts and cannot be stopped, the foundation laid by the ancestors and the dignity of the eight major surnames will be lost.

Xiaocheng, the first empress of Kangxi, died, and the Hesheli family headed by Suo'etu fully supported Prince Yinfeng.

Xiaozhao, the second empress of Kangxi, died, and Niu Kulu's family was in chaos.

Xiaoyi, the third empress of Kangxi, died, and the Tong family could not find a way forward.

……

There is no powerful concubine in the harem, and there is no elder brother who can support it. It is very difficult to stabilize the influence. Niu Kulu's family first died of the queen, and then the noble concubine, which makes people feel distressed... The Tong family is suffering In her early days, little Tong Jia entered the palace and took over the phoenix seal to rule the harem. She was well received by the emperor and the queen mother. The third concubine, when dealing with problems, can always be calm, and she is the first to reflect on herself when something goes wrong.

Although she still lacks the bearing of a mother, she is only a noble concubine, and it is not easy to achieve this.

Little Tong Jia's reputation is very good.

After passing the assessment in all aspects, she successfully snatched the fourth elder brother back from Debi Wu Yashi.

The reality of not giving the other party a response, the jade document has been changed, and the Tong family has found a future direction.

That is to support the fourth elder brother to win the heir.

For them, there couldn't be a better candidate.

The fourth master is a dark horse that came out halfway. His reputation was caused by the quarrel over the reform of the Jade Document. His foundation is still not stable, but you can't doubt the deterrence he established in Beijing. The old master and those girls consciously backed away to make way for him. Yinzhen's carriage was quite spacious, and he didn't count himself. There was still a lot of room for the thirteen elder brothers. The plans for the wives and the capital city Yinzhen knows a little about the direction of the wind, and after a little thought, he can understand what happened to Jia She. He asked, "Where is Tianshi Jia going? Can I send you off?"

Jia She bowed his hands to greet the two elder brothers, and then said: "Then please trouble fourth master, I have received a post, and I am going to go to the Xianwei Building to have a look."

This is for the girls, they already know that their appearance will set off a wave, so Jia Amnesty will go to a place where all the idlers can visit?He originally wanted to save face, and the copper dragon dedicated to Kangxi was dug out in the shopkeeper's house in Xianweilou. He didn't thank anyone for his great contribution.The shopkeeper didn't know about it, and the elder was not prepared to say it. He wanted to imitate those who did good deeds without leaving a name. He had a good idea, but unfortunately, an accident happened halfway, and he was surrounded by a group of young women. He couldn't move his feet directly. He didn't think of such a situation before he set off. Fortunately, a fourth master was killed halfway, otherwise he would really be trapped here.Jia Amnesty said sorry to the shopkeeper of Xianweilou in his heart, and only after walking a little further away did he ask, "Where is fourth master going?"

Before Yinzhen could reply, Yinxiang, the thirteenth elder brother, said, "Today is Kuixing's birthday. I will go to the gentleman's courtyard with my fourth brother." Yinzhen nodded to show that it was true, and Jia She laughed.

"That's fine, I'll go there too."

"Didn't you say Xianweilou?" After walking for a long time, you told me that the destination was wrong!Who is this kidding?

Jia She smacked his lips: "I was going there, but I thought about it. It's probably inconvenient now. Originally, the Qiqiao Festival is not celebrated by our elders. It's more interesting to go to other courtyards to pay homage to Kuixing." .”

I understand, so I understand.

The two elder brothers are both smart people, and they knew that Jia She was hiding from women after contacting the scene just now.

Unexpectedly, these women are so open-minded that they block people on the street.

Since we are going to a place, it is easy to say that on the seventh day of the seventh month, several people lived in the gentleman's courtyard. The fourth master's party went early, and they rested in Jia She's exclusive middle courtyard for a while before waiting. Old nine old ten old fourteen.

Yinzhen lifted the foot ban on New Year's Eve, and half a year has passed since now. For such a long time, the fourth child has almost no chance to get along with him in private. It is precisely because of this that the former brothers did not fight. .

Although there were still some outsiders around, Fourteen's face turned dark after only one meeting.

"It's been a long time since I spoke alone, fourth brother."

"What does the fourteenth brother want to say?"

"After all, we are brothers of the same mother. You are too cruel and ruthless."

"..." It's quite boring to say such a thing after someone changed the jade certificate, knowing that it was a brother, why didn't he treat Yinzhen better?I knew to trouble him, and I knew to incite Debi Wu Yashi to use mother-child relationship as blackmail to persecute him.

This remark would cause many people to misunderstand, and Yinzhen didn't intend to explain, but just glanced at Shisi and didn't say anything.The most angry time has passed, and Shisi is not a brain-dead man. After he said that sentence, he vented his anger and stopped messing around. He just pretended that Yinzhen did not exist. It is indeed a tragedy for brothers to come to this point. It is not easy to achieve this unclear forehead.

It wasn't until the celebration of worshiping Kuixing was over, they went back to the house, and before the old fourteen got into the carriage, did Yinzhen ask him to take care of the concubine Debi.

Not to mention okay.

This unfamiliar title makes people angry.

"What about my mother-in-law, it's none of the fourth brother's business, you should still think about your own glory and wealth."

Fourteen is too lazy to pretend, too lazy to act.

When he hadn't changed the jade certificate, he had to use devious tactics to ask him three times and four times when entrusting him with work. Now that even this layer of entanglement is gone, is he still humiliating himself?That's not just a joke.Fourteen didn't say anything too sensitive, but just satirized a few sentences to ease his mood. Although someone like Yinzhen held grudges, he didn't take such words to heart. He watched Fourteen get into the carriage and head back to the palace. , Didn't ask Jia Enhou what plans he had until he was far away.

The strange Qixi Festival passed like this, but the impact did not stop there.

There is a saying among the princes and ministers.

Kangxi wants to live a long life, and the prince is doomed to tragedy.

Although Yinzhen was not mentioned, except for Yinreng, he didn't even mention any idlers, etc., which is enough to guide others to think too much.Kangxi's long life of a hundred years is a huge blow to the prince. Now that he is approaching his thirties, Kangxi is only in his fifties. When he lives to be a hundred years old, the prince will already be in his eighties...the probability of being able to survive until then It is very low, and he is very likely to go early. Even if he really lives to that age, letting him sit on the throne is not only not a good thing, but torture.

If Lord Long Live can live for so long, the ones who are more likely to succeed to the throne will be those elder brothers who have not yet been born. Even the eighteen elder brothers who are just two years old at the moment will be half buried in the ground after 50 years. No matter how you think about it, it is inappropriate... How much truth is there in this statement?It was Jia Enhou's original words, when and for what purpose did he say it to whom?

There are so many suspicious places that most people don't believe it.

Whether it is true or not needs to be considered in the long run. If it is false...then who is the person who released the news?Picture what?

People can't think too much. Once they think too much, they will develop persecution paranoia and suspect innocent people at the same time.For example, the crown prince, the argument that Kangxi lived a hundred years was a huge blow to him. Although it is unknown whether it is true or not, he has already lost face. After all, whenever this matter is mentioned, everyone will sigh: The prince is really pitiful.

It's fine if my mother died early, and my father hasn't accompanied me yet.

It has been almost 30 years since he was born, and the number of Long Live Lord is only half a hundred. When he has lived enough, how many years will the prince have to hold back?It is extremely rare in history to be a prince for 30 years. It can be said that there is basically no one. If they don’t die, when Kangxi lives to be a hundred years old, the 80-year prince will be absolutely famous!

It has not been done before, and it will not be surpassed in the future.

The most aggrieved, embarrassing and humiliating in history.

Yinfeng firmly believes that this is false.

My own life will not be so bad.

So, who spread the rumors?

He had an answer in his heart, and he didn't want to say it, but Suo'etu didn't have so many scruples, so he named the fourth elder brother Yinzhen in front of the prince. He has been very stable in the past, and the turmoil has not stopped since the master changed the jade certificate. , and now such rumors are spreading.Hehe, to shake the minds of the ministers, it is His Royal Highness who is hit, and the support rate of one's own side is damaged. Isn't the biggest beneficiary the fourth elder brother?

"We can't just sit and wait for death, the situation is going to be really bad if it goes on like this."

"...It can't prove that it must be the fourth brother."

"It's better to kill the wrong than to let it go, Prince, you can't hesitate at this juncture."
