The second year of Yongzheng is destined to be a surging year. Since the beginning of the year, various signs have already appeared.

The reason is that at the beginning of the first year of Yongzheng, Yinzhen sent Yinzhen to Xining in the name of following the old system and sending the prince to the army. Yinyu was naturally reluctant to go because he was worried a lot in the capital, so he asked for a postponement of the trip several times, but he was not approved, so he had to go unwillingly.

A few years ago, Yinzhen used all kinds of criminal evidence collected at the sticky rod on his hand to send down the three most powerful cronies around Yinzhen, which almost isolated Yinzhen.

Originally, these were only the usual means of purging dissident parties after the new emperor ascended the throne, and they were also a warning to the royal family, so that these people who once coveted the throne or had small moves were restrained. If Yinyu is a smart and forbearant person, in this case, he should learn to show weakness and submit to softness, first to protect himself, and then slowly figure it out. However, Yinzhen has to be on the cusp of the limelight, and he can't persuade him to come back, and he naively thinks that Yinzhen will not risk falling and mutilating his siblings to attack his siblings.

After seeing Xiao Shunzi on Chinese New Year's Eve, I knew that Yin Yu's wheel of fate had been opened just like in his previous life.

Out of the first month, into February, the weather gradually warmed, the official road to and from the capital also became lively, all kinds of news spread with the crowd to and from the capital, only the huge palace is as calm and boring as ever, in the deep palace of vermilion walls and yellow tiles, the news outside the palace will always be much later.

In Jingren Palace, as usual, they got up early in the morning to have breakfast with the Qian family, dismissed the people who were waiting in the house, and the two talked about the general affairs of Jingren Palace.

"Didn't you say that you came to the palace to serve, but you have a settlement?" Qian took a sip of the teacup, letting the fragrance of tea flow between his lips and teeth, with a relaxed and pleasant expression.

After the Lantern Festival, he first took advantage of the little mistake made by Xu Fuduo on Chinese New Year's Eve, and used the name of Concubine Qian's Xi as the palace lord to straighten out all the servants and maids in Jingren Palace, and cleaned up some people with unknown details.

Xu Fuduo's mistake was just a reason to use it as a raft, and he was not punished heavily, and he was deducted half a year's salary on the surface, but he also knew that most of these fines and deductions would be made up by me with various rewards, and it would only be more and not less. This matter was caused by the hairpin turmoil, Dongmei must have received the punishment, it stands to reason that there is a hairpin matter, she can no longer be by her side, but I have other plans, and I didn't transfer her away, punished her with a board, let her lie down for a month, just leave a seat and wait for the person arranged by Xiaoshunzi to come over and take her place, and when she comes back, she can also be idle without a trace and wait for the follow-up arrangement.

I have always believed that all people are created equal, and I have always been tolerant of the servants and maids around me, and rarely beat and scolded and punished at will. However, the repeated betrayal of those around me also made me realize that in this era, sometimes too much tolerance is connivance. In the face of the servile thinking of climbing high and stepping on low, bullying good and fearing evil, all tolerance is just a synonym for weakness. Therefore, for Dongmei's punishment, I would not have done this before, but now I am always on guard against the situation of open guns and hidden arrows, and being strong and killing is by no means a way to deter and protect myself.

After such a rectification, there are some vacant places in Jingren Palace, and there is not enough manpower.

I put down the teacup, thought for a while and said, "A few days ago, I had to believe that it had been arranged, but this group of people came in with a group of palace maids who had just entered the palace, and they could only be assigned to the palaces after being uniformly trained by the Internal Affairs Office. I asked the queen and Father-in-law Su, and they said that there was no shortage of manpower in Qianqing Palace and Yongshou Palace at the moment, so they allowed us to pick first. Xiao Shunzi also gave the names of these people to Xu Fuduo a few days ago, and when the time came, let Xu Fuduo lead them over to take a look, leaving a batch to be placed in Jingren Palace, and the rest were placed in other palaces as a response. ”

"Xiao Shunzi is logically safe, but most of the people sent to the palace by the Internal Affairs Office as maids are said to be innocent women from the Baoyi family, how can Xiao Shunzi let the people he arranged be mixed in. Qian asked with some worry and curiosity.

I chuckled and said: "Speaking of this, I was also curious at the time, so I asked Xu Fuduo, according to him, this internal affairs office is not the Qingshui Yamen, as long as you can make the money, there is nothing that cannot be done." In previous years, some Han families were so poor that they couldn't open the pot, and the family had a daughter who was old and good looking and wanted to be sent to the palace to improve the family situation, so they found those Han army coat families to recognize their relatives and send them to the palace in the name of distant relatives. Xiao Shunzi has a wide range of connections, so wouldn't it be difficult to send a few powerful people into the palace?"

Qian also laughed when he heard it, and while he felt interesting, he sighed that this world is really rich and easy to do things everywhere.

As he was talking, Xu Fuduo hurriedly trotted in, greeted Qian's peace, and then stepped forward to say something to me, seeing that my face became gloomy, he didn't seem to be planning to say anything, and then bowed down and retreated.

Qian Shi's face instantly sank after seeing me listen to Xu Fuduo's words, and asked worriedly, "But what happened?"

I got up and walked to the door of the house, opened the door and looked, saw that there was no one outside the house, walked back and sat down, thought for a moment before speaking: "Xu Fuduo said two things, one is the recent rumor in the market in Beijing, and the other is about Hongday. ”

Qian let out an "oh?" in surprise, waiting for me to continue.

"Recently, it has been rumored in the market that the emperor is a dumb king, detaining ministers for no reason, bullying the elder brothers, and indulging Long Keduo and Nian Qianyao to abuse power. "I'll start by telling you what is rumored in the market.

When Qian heard me talk about this, he felt that it had nothing to do with the palace, and the tension between his expressions relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Whatever you want to pass on outside, let them pass it on, anyway, the emperor's wisdom is not something that can be slandered in one or two sentences, justice is in the hearts of the people, and the emperor will deal with it, so why should you worry about this." ”

I frowned and shook my head, and said worriedly, "Everyone knows that the allusion should be to those people from the Eight Masters Party. But now the fourteenth master is guarding the mausoleum for the emperor in Tangquan, although he is under surveillance, he has been crowned the king of the county. The Tenth Master was currently on the way back to the Gurgat of Zebzundanba Hu Tuketu Shrine, who had passed away in Beijing, when he heard that he was still stationed in Zhangjiakou because of his physical discomfort. As for the eighth master, the emperor also gave him the position of prime minister, and he was treated well. In this way, the 'elder brothers' are probably directly referring to the Ninth Master, and it was the people around the Ninth Master who were disposed of a lot a year ago, especially Lord Qin Daoran in the matter of Like. The emperor asked his family to pay the ransom, and everyone in the court knew about it. ”

Although the Qian family doesn't know much about the details of the relationship between Yinyu and me, he generally understands it. She knew in her heart that I was concerned about Yinyu's safety, so by telling her this, she would understand where my worries came from.

"Since there are rumors in Beijing, I'm afraid the emperor has already known about it, and it's useless for you to be in a hurry, so you can only see what the emperor does first. Alas, I don't know where this rumor came from, but I am not afraid of making a big mess. Qian sighed.

I didn't answer Qian's words, but I was also thinking about where these words came from, and I vaguely guessed that this was just a stupid thing that Yinzhen did in order to create public opinion to put pressure on Yinzhen.
