Piercing Stories (77)

Up and down?

If you think about it seriously, it's really heartbreaking.

And these words came from the emperor's mouth, which is even more intriguing.

"Then call them all, and let's talk about it. "The emperor threw the joint fold onto the box marked 'eight'. He turned and went out.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor summoned all the princes and brothers, clan relatives and nobles, and officials above the fourth grade in the capital to discuss politics in the Qianqing Palace.

Before the fourth master could figure out how to write this excerpt for the promotion of the crown prince, he received the will of the palace.

Lin Yutong hung up the purse containing the jerky to the fourth master, "I don't know how long it will be delayed, so if you are hungry, you will put on some cushions first." ”

The jerky is five-spiced, and after it comes out of the pot, it is dipped in sesame seeds, and it is fragrant.

The fourth master was sorted out by Lin Yutong, and he stood there and ate a small half plate. He is now infected with a lot of Lin Yutong's bad habits. As long as he is idle, he likes to take snacks and stuff them into his mouth.

"It's okay!" the fourth master wiped his hands, "This matter has nothing to do with us today." Wait for the master to come back for dinner. ”

"What do you want to eat?" Lin Yutong knew that the fourth master was afraid that he would be worried, so he would find a way to divert his attention. He cooperated: "I'll cook it myself." What about noodles? If you don't eat soup, you come out with hot water and eat it with it. ”

"Okay!" The fourth master nodded Lin Yutong's nose, and the remaining sesame seeds on her hand stuck to her nose.

The corners of the fourth master's mouth curled, and he turned around and walked out of the door. Su Peisheng lowered his head and followed behind the fourth master.

Lin Yutong watched the fourth master go out, and when she looked back, she saw that the girls were all bowing their heads, or Mama Yuan came in, she didn't know what happened just now, and proposed that Lin Yutong clean her face, so she knew what was wrong.

When I looked at it in the mirror, I couldn't help but laugh again.

He was still in the mood to do such a prank.

The fourth master entered the palace all the way, and he was in a good mood. The pork jerky made by Fujin is more fragrant than the beef jerky. Along the way, he touched and ate all the jerky in a purse. A small half-pound of jerky meat entered the stomach, and it was immediately full. Now it's almost time for lunch, so I don't have to eat lunch, and I don't have any problems carrying it until the evening.

Waited in the main hall, stood in his place, and waited for the emperor to arrive. He could still hear the rumbling of the stomachs of the third and fifth masters beside him.

The emperor does things as he pleases, and when he thinks of it, it's when. I don't even think about the feelings of the people below.

The emperor did not come up quickly, everyone stood in the main hall for half an hour, and the emperor finished his lunch before he was late.

The fourth master knelt down with everyone, listened to the emperor's shout, and stood up again.

"Before, I said that I asked everyone to go up and talk about the establishment of the prince. Kangxi's voice couldn't hear joy and anger, "Now, what is the situation, I didn't ask in detail." The excerpt is in the upper study......" and said, so he raised his voice and said: "Ma Qi, you are the minister of the upper study, you can talk about it." ”

The cold sweat on Ma Qi's head came down, this thing is not right.

If you don't tell the truth, how else can you say it?

"Emperor Qiqi, the excerpts have been classified, and the servants will be asked to be carried up. Ma Qi didn't dare to say it, so he could only put it out for everyone to see.

Kangxi nodded, it was accurate.

Ma Qi got up, wiped the sweat from his head, and beckoned. After a while, several eunuchs walked in with boxes and boxes.

The sound of gasping suddenly came to mind in the main hall.

Marked with number eight is a huge box, and the other bits and pieces have a few small boxes. It is marked with the words 'three', 'four', 'five' and 'fourteen'.

The eighth master's face turned white all of a sudden.

That's definitely not what he meant.

But he is indeed the prince who has made the most friends with foreign ministers.

Now it's really full of mouths, and I can't speak clearly.

The emperor pointed to a few boxes, "This is the result of the election." If you only look at these results, it seems that the candidate for the crown prince has already come out. Then he pointed his finger at the people below, "Not counting those who are in other provinces, but those who are in the capital, you are all here now." I would like to ask, how many of these excerpts are your own will, and the people you recommend are the people you are optimistic about. And this person is indeed a person who can inherit the great unification and take on the responsibility of the whole world? How many people are like the clouds and can't erase their feelings, or are they people who wear flower feathers for the sake of their own heads?"

As soon as these words came out, no one dared to speak in the hall.

The fourth master stood with his eyes and nose and nose and heart, and said in his heart: Sure enough.

Who fell into the big pit this time?

His head bowed slightly, not daring to let the emperor see his expression.

The emperor's gaze was as faint as his tone, but it also hit people's hearts.

"Tong Guowei, tell me, how did this joint recommendation of the Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi come about?

Tong Guowei stood up stunned, "The study is for the purpose of connecting up and down, the emperor's words...... Forgive the minions for not understanding ......"

"Okay! Kangxi walked down and stood beside Tong Guowei, "Then according to what you say, you are still full of public heart." ”

"Eight Elder Brothers are elegant. If the slaves are selfish, are the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty selfish?" Tong Guowei raised his head, "The promotion of the eighth master is the result of the public discussion between the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the upper study. The minion, as the minister of the upper study, also dared to say that everything was for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, and it was beyond reproach. ”

As soon as these words came out, the fourth master was stunned in his heart, this Tong Guowei was really confused. At this time, I still don't understand the depth of this, it seems that the emperor has really spoiled the Tong family over the years.

The sweat on the eighth master's head came down. Could it be that Tong Guowei did it? No.

If he really thought that if he had come to this point, the emperor would succumb to the will of the people. That's really wrong. The eighth master closed his eyes, and just wanted to quickly tell Tong Guowei to shut up. Otherwise, I'll have to put him in today.

I heard the emperor ask: "What do you mean by going to the study? Can you Tong Guowei represent the study?" As he spoke, the emperor looked at Zhang Tingyu, "Zhang Tingyu, you are also the minister of the upper study, I saw it, you did not sign the official fold of the upper study." So let's talk about it, is Tong Guowei's recommendation of Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi out of public interest?"

Zhang Tingyu chuckled in his heart, this is never easy to answer.

Say it's selfish? Definitely not. The emperor can say Tong Guowei, but he can't. It's the emperor's uncle. Moreover, he did not want to bear the responsibility of taking the opportunity to attack his colleagues. What's more, there is still the matter of the eighth master here. It's not that he's afraid of offending people, but he can't.

Isn't it clear that he is in opposition to the emperor? I want to wear the crown on my head for a few more days.

Therefore, everyone envies their high position, why don't they understand the truth that this companion is like a tiger?

If you don't have a bit of urgency, you'll have to kill yourself sooner or later.

So he took a deep breath and said loudly: "Tong Guowei and Ma Qi, the two adults, recommended the eighth elder brother, it is because the eighth elder brother does have something extraordinary. Being recommended by the ministers is understandable. It's just that Master Tong Guowei was careless for a while and forgot the lesson that a gentleman is not a party. The minister and the two adults were in the position of the upper study, and it was already difficult to deal with such a major matter as the election of the prince. If you want to satisfy the emperor, the officials, and the people of the world, it is really difficult. If this result is controversial, then it is not a bad idea to ask the emperor to correct it and re-nominate it. ”

As soon as the words fell, the fourth master nodded in his heart. Zhang Tingyu does have something unique.

Before the emperor could speak, he heard Tong Guowei suddenly say: "Villain! traitor!" As he spoke, he stood up and said to the emperor: "From ancient times to the present, there is no one who is loyal to the traitor in the face of Zhang Tingyu. The emperor ordered to elect the crown prince, but now the ministers are just acting in accordance with the order, where did they come from 'carelessly', where did they come from 'forming a party'. On the contrary, it is he, Zhang Tingyu, who flatters and flatters everywhere, what is it that is not a traitor? He also asked the emperor to cure Zhang Tingyu's crimes. And canonize the crown prince as soon as possible, in order to appease the hearts of the people, and to the virtue of the emperor. ”

This thing must be crazy. The Ninth Master looked at Tong Guowei with new eyes. If the crown prince is not appointed, the people will not be at ease, and this does not imply that the emperor is old and has no heir, so that people are not at ease? If the crown prince is not appointed and the people are not given an explanation, the emperor will have no virtue?

That's what it means, right? The Ninth Master's heart and liver began to tremble.

This guy is really helping the old eight? The old eight are about to be pitted to death.

Originally, as soon as Zhang Tingyu said what he said just now, it would be over if he gently revealed this matter today. It doesn't matter if he is hot-headed, but he will make the old eight miserable.

I heard the emperor say: "Listen, you all listen." Zhang Tingyu said good things to Tong Guowei, but Tong Guowei said that Zhang Tingyu was a traitor. In the words of the saint, there is a word called 'repay virtue with resentment', and I finally saw another one today. If Zhang Tingyu is a traitor, then what kind of thing is Tong Guowei who repays virtue with resentment? Shameless villain! Outright shameless villain!"

As soon as these words fell, the whole hall was filled with the sound of gasping.

Tong Guowei is the emperor's uncle, and he is the Tong Banchao who has been in the country for 20 years. was reprimanded by the emperor as a shameless villain! The emperor's face turned ruthlessly, so that everyone's hearts couldn't help but be raised again.

"The emperor said that the slave is called a slave...... There is nothing to say either. Tong Guowei knelt down, "However, the slave just doesn't understand, why can't the Manchu Dynasty elect the eighth elder brother as the new crown prince?" ”

Kangxi walked up to the imperial seat, looked at Tong Guowei, and narrowed his eyes, "You're going to force me to uncover your old bottom." ”

Tong Guowei was stunned, what do you mean by this?

The eighth master took a deep breath. As long as the emperor wants to find guilt, where can your Tong family be clean? Why don't you understand?

He stood up and knelt down, "Huang Amma, the son voluntarily withdrew from the election of the new prince, please don't embarrass Lord Tong." ”

"Hehe......" Kangxi looked at the eighth master and smiled, "It's not a loss, everyone calls you the Eight Sages King." Tong Guowei charged forward for you, and you said good things for Tong Guowei. Sure enough, 'virtuous' is the place, and 'virtuous' is the time. ”
