Thirteen stood in front of the Heart Cultivation Palace, shook his head and said, "Please go again to Gonggong Su." Yun Xiang please. ”

Su Peisheng didn't dare to accept his salute, but he also refused to go to the Long Live Lord for him to ask for suspicion, and after avoiding it, he returned a big gift: "Prince Yi, don't be embarrassed for us, you better hurry back to the house, this day I saw that the snow was getting heavier and heavier." It's freezing you, and the Lord of Long Live designated and scolded us for not waiting. ”

Thirteen saw that this slave was slippery, and he turned his face ruthlessly, and he refused to look at it at all, and he no longer rubbed with him. He turned his head and went out, only to see Jiang Chenxi kneeling there not far away, a layer of snow falling on his body, and the whole person was rickety.

He walked over, Jiang Chenxi kowtowed in a kneeling position, so cold that he couldn't even speak: "...... Slave...... Minion Jiang ...... Jiang Chenxi knocked on Prince Yi Ji'an. ”

Thirteen sighed deeply, took off his cloak and draped it on Jiang Chenxi's body.

Seeing that he was only wearing an official robe, he should have been scolded in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and he only wore a tonic suit on his body, not even an official hat. If he is allowed to kneel here all night, he is afraid that his life will be lost.

"Wensun, why are you suffering......" Thirteen shook his head.

Jiang Chenxi kowtowed again: "The slave is ten thousand deaths." ”

From June to August last year, there was a severe drought in Shandong, and there was no harvest. Jiang Chenxi deliberately concealed the disaster and did not report it, and there were ten rooms and nine empty rooms in Dezhou, Shanghe, Jiyang, and Binzhou in Shandong.

If it weren't for the homeless people who flocked to the capital, no one really knew about it.

Thirteen sighed, looking at Jiang Chenxi and didn't know what to say. He was willing to speak for him, only for the sake of his loyalty. Long live has just ascended the throne, and it is better to have one more loyal courtier in the court than to cut it down.

It's just that Banzai is now angry, and the displaced people are blocking Qianmen Street, starving everywhere on the way from Shandong to Beijing, and it is impossible to hide it.

At a good time for the Chinese New Year, first Yongzheng Qian had an accident, and other provinces were calling off the matter, and even Banzai said that they should make Kangxi money first and then top it for a while.

Then it snowed from the sky, but it attracted countless hungry people.

Long live the gloom on his face, I'm afraid that he won't spare Jiang Chenxi.

Thirteen gave the cloak to Jiang Chenxi, and the people in the Heart Cultivation Hall would not let Prince Yi go out naked like this, so they quickly found a cloak of the head of the guards and put it on him, so that Haode could send this master out.

Thirteen thanked, and then took out his own silver to pay the little eunuch of the Heart Cultivation Palace, pointed to Jiang Chenxi and said: "On a good day for the New Year, my father-in-law will be kind, and give him a bowl of hot tea after a while, so as not to be infected with bad luck." ”

Don't push silver during the New Year, otherwise you won't have any money for a year. The little eunuch accepted the silver and said respectfully: "Inheriting the prince's colorful head, the slave accepted it with a shy face." The prince can rest assured, our grandfather Su has confessed, and he will pour him half a bowl of ginger tea in half an hour. "There are rules. The emperor was angry and punished people, but he may not remember when he was released, in case the emperor forgot for a while, this person really died here, it was their sin.

Therefore, the hearts of the imperial attendants are counted, and there are ginseng slices in the imperial tea room.

In other words, even if this person is going to die, he will have to go out of the palace and breathe.

On the way home, Thirteen was thinking about how to intercede for Jiang Chenxi. Long live that he doesn't even see him, who should he look for?

As soon as he entered the palace, he asked, "Where is the princess?" ”

Zhao Jia's family is coaxing the child, the snow is heavy today, and the big and small ones are not brought into the palace. The concubine said that she was afraid that the children would freeze back and forth, so she specially gave fireworks for the children to show at home. When she came back at this time, Hong Jun even said and gestured, and she listened with a smile, which showed that the fact that he could set off fireworks in his own house really made him happy.

Thirteen came in, and she hurriedly took the child to salute.

Hong Jun suddenly became disciplined and made a big salute in a dignified manner: "Hong Jun asked Amagian." ”

Zhao Jiashi wanted Thirteen to listen to a poem that his son had just memorized recently, and before she could speak, Thirteen asked the nurse to take the child out. Only then did she see that the cloak on his body did not fit, not the one he had worn before leaving.

"What's going on?" She hurriedly followed him in and waited for him to change his clothes, and she couldn't take care of her son for a while.

At first glance, the cloak was not rewarded by the emperor, and the black squirrel skin, and the sheepskin lining it was also old.

Thirteen untied his cloak, didn't bother to change his clothes, and said, "You wait first, come and let me ask you, can you talk to the concubine in Yongshou Palace today?" ”

Zhao Jia's face immediately turned white with fright, after the trough of the Kangxi Dynasty, she couldn't imagine what it would be like for Thirteen to be rejected by the emperor again.

"Hooray...... Reproach you? She asked, in a trembling voice.

Thirteen immediately comforted her: "You think too much, it's someone else's business." As he spoke, he briefly talked about Jiang Chenxi, and said: "Long live now that even I don't want to see me, I don't know if it's okay to take the path of the concubine?" ”

Zhao Jiashi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm afraid it won't work." Chaise...... has a bit of the character of the queen mother. ”

Thirteen immediately understood when he heard it. When the Queen Mother was in Yonghe Palace, she was only dedicated to serving the first emperor, and even the things of the Fourteenth Master could not move her.

If the concubine is the same as the queen mother, it is impossible to ask her to intercede.

"Why bother with this? That Master Jiang...... In my opinion, it's not so innocent...... Long live the attack, he always has a reason to ......," Zhao Jia advised.

She believes in the concubine's approach, as long as she follows the emperor and listens to the emperor, then it will work. Isn't that what a courtier is all about?

Thirteen shook his head and sighed: "Jiang Chenxi did something wrong, but there is also a bit of loyalty in it. Do you know that if the drought in Shandong last year was revealed, how would Banzai deal with it? ”

Zhao Jiashi gasped, obviously thinking of it.

As soon as the emperor ascended the throne, a natural disaster descended on him, which means that the emperor's virtue is not worthy of being the emperor.

It was because of this that Thirteen was willing to speak for Jiang Chenxi. In any case, even if there are people everywhere now, it is stronger than a natural disaster in the first year of Yongzheng. Natural disasters are heavenly punishments, but displaced people are.

**Compared to natural disasters, he would rather **.

Otherwise, long live is an unstable foothold, and this natural disaster is a hundred pounds.

Thirteen sighed: "To this day, there are still many people who offer auspicious rui to the top. It can be seen that everyone knows this truth.

Jiang Chenxi relieved himself for Banzai and solved most of the problems.

Nourishing Heart Palace, five rooms in the east.

Only then did Li Wei know that he was so angry when he read the play book that day, and he refused to even read the snow these days.

"Jiang Chenxi concealed the disaster......" She thought of a sensitive question, and then it seemed to break through a realm: "...... So how did he collect his taxes this year? ”

…… This is the reason why the fourth master is angry, right?

I also want to know that it is impossible for Jiang Chenxi to pay out of his own pocket, and the tax in the whole territory of Shandong is not a small amount, unless he is possessed by the middle hall at that moment.

The fourth master said: "Master Jiang is a capable official." ”

The people can't afford to pay the taxes, just like the Xi'er father in the playbook, they lock the head of the family away, and don't worry about the whole family not selling the house to save it. The land is placed there, and their own official families come to take advantage of the fire to rob, and they can exchange a little silver taels for hundreds or thousands of acres of fertile land, why not?

Like flies chasing the smell, swarming in.

It has been verified that there are many clans that bought Zhuangzi and Liangtian in Shandong last year.

Jiang Chenxi not only paid the taxes, but also made good friends with the local noble clans, the clansmen in Beijing, and he could sell well in front of Long live.

"He's so calculating." The fourth master was a little impressed and said with a smile. I looked down and saw that Su Su was stunned, so I simply told her this as if it was a story, "Besides, the people can't make a living if they don't have land, and the whole family doesn't even have a place to live, so they can only pawn themselves as slaves." ”

Li Wei gasped, which reminded her of a forced demolition that happened in the city that year. There was no news report at all, but she just lived in that area, a good place in the city center, which was originally the family area of a factory, and it was a suburban vegetable field when it was not developed.

The factory died, leaving behind a large residential area. As a result, they were all picked up quietly and suddenly.

Li Wei was startled when she came back from college during the summer vacation and passed by there, and saw a few big red banners on the side of the road, and several residents of the old factory were playing cards under the banners with their chests exposed.

The most troublesome thing for the old factory for more than five years is the arrangement of the old workers, because no one dares to take over after the death of many old factories. There are not one or two such factories in the city, and they are all dead.

Li Wei thought about where did the river dragon come from, but she didn't hear the rumor of the demolition. It doesn't look like all the old workers have been arranged (otherwise there will be a P).

And then the empty space sat and rested, and rested......

She's finished her undergraduate studies, and she still hasn't moved when she comes back! Not to mention laying the foundation, even the old rubble in the open field has not been cleared.

Downtown. Where every inch of land is valuable.

Under power, you will die. No matter how long the banner is hung, there is no news in the local news and newspapers, except that people passing by can take a look at it as a rarity, what is the use?

The fourth master sighed and said: "A lamb chops the skin twice, Jiang Chenxi is really 'excellent'." "Last year's evaluation is still in his hands, since he entered Shandong as a political envoy, and in the same year after he was promoted to the governor of Shandong, it was a series of excellence. Jingcha also did not see the slightest bad deed.

Li Wei couldn't help but sit closer to him. The lives of the little people are really cheap, and the words that their lives are as thin as paper are really true. It's not that one person's life is thin, but a group of people, hundreds or thousands, or even tens of thousands, are so thin in the eyes of the people above that they have no weight at all.

The fourth master hugged her with his hand, rubbed her vigorously and said, "It's just that he saw me wrong." I am not afraid of rumors. ”

Li Wei climbed him and treated him as a lifesaver for Zuihou.

The fourth master said: "Jiang Chenxi, I will track him down to the end!" ”

In the Eighth Master's Mansion, the Eighth Master was standing in the northeast corner of the mansion just now and watched the fireworks in the Forbidden City, and as soon as he entered the house, he was held down by Guo Luoluo and poured two bowls of ginger tea, stripped naked and stuffed into the quilt.

"Yes, yes! Watch the fireworks and put on a cloak and hold a hand stove! She stuffed him with another bowl of ginseng tea, "Drink it, otherwise you will freeze again during the New Year, and you will be unlucky." ”

The eighth master couldn't cry or laugh while holding the tea bowl, and after a while, he poured three bowls of it, and he really couldn't drink it.

"Let me take it slowly, slowly, and drink it later." He was about to put down the tea bowl, Guo Luoluo's eyes were stunned, so he had to hold it in his hand.

Guo Luo Luo glanced at him lightly: "Isn't it good to just hold your hands like this?" ”

She sat down beside him, and the eighth master smiled: "Seeing that you are so happy, I am also happy." Otherwise, this year will not be good. ”

Guo Luo Luo glanced at him, then smiled, and said happily: "Of course I'm happy!" ”

Probably because the excerpt of the prince was beaten back, with the emperor's words, the heir can't inherit the title, and the king of Anjie County actually survived again, and I heard that I was able to listen to my children and grandchildren in bed a few years ago.

If he dies and the title is withdrawn, the county king's mansion will first change all the illegal places, and the emperor will clearly dislike it, and the internal affairs office will definitely be happy to come over and stomp on it to collect some benefits.

Moreover, Prince An's Mansion has been passed down for three dynasties, and there is no mess in the house, and there is a lot of trouble between brothers and uncles.

As long as the king of Anjie County dares to swallow his breath, his brothers and uncles can sing a great seal of the Six Kingdoms. At that point, it will really become a joke in Kyosato.

In this case, the king of Anjie refused to die.

Now the whole county king's mansion is looking forward to the king of Anjie being able to last two more years, so that they can think of a way to see if they can make the emperor change his mind.

The eighth master laughed, and put down the tea bowl when it was not hot, and Guo Luo Luo gave him her hand stove again. He had no choice but to hold it, touch the cloisonné plate on it, and said, "Don't let your family dream as soon as possible." This diversion of mountains and rivers may not change their minds today. ”

Guo Luo Luo glanced at him and didn't answer. She knew about it, but she was just having fun.

Seeing this, the eighth master pulled down again, and changed his tone and said something else: "We don't have a chance to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings, tomorrow you take advantage of the time to go to Prince Yu's Mansion and Pingjun Palace, which is also a meaning." ”

During the Chinese New Year, everyone went to the palace to receive the banquet, and she went to see people?

Guo Luo Luo opened his mouth, but he still didn't refute his meaning, and responded: "Then I'll go early tomorrow morning." ”

No matter how early she went, the masters in the two mansions were not there. In front of the house, even a red couplet could not be pasted, which looked very rare.

She knew that this was the eighth master deliberately spending her, so she simply stayed in the two mansions for a while longer.

After coming out, I remembered the now hot Prince Yi. In the early years, she disdained to deal with a young brother and sister, and later when Prince Yi was down, the eighth master asked her to visit, but Zhaojia's did not say that she was affectionate, but cold and indifferent, and after going a few times, she was not willing to put a cold face on the cold fart.

Who knows that feng shui is taking turns now. Imagine that Prince Yi was the person he is today, right? That's why I stay away from others.

Long live today, I don't rub any sand in my eyes. She wondered, where did that Li get into that person's eyes? Guo Luo Luo leaned against the wall of the car, and he was not angry when he thought of it.

A few years ago, the queen announced her to the palace to reprimand. As a result, the queen was amiable, and quickly let her get up after kneeling. On the contrary, it was the concubine, probably she just wanted to see her make a fool of herself. came in a hurry, stood up and left without seeing the show.

The queen wanted to be polite, she said she was leaving, and the queen didn't even dare to say anything like letting her stand for a while.

…… Did she really hold a grudge because of the little embarrassment she gave her back then?

Thinking of this, even if Guo Luo Luo is always arrogant, he can't help but feel worried at this time.

This kind of petty woman actually held her in the palm of her hand today, let her take the wife of a courtier to vent her anger at will, and asked the queen to call her into the palace to scold her.

"It's really a villain." Guo Luo Luo scolded in a low voice.

In the Eighth Master's Mansion, He Zhuo came to pay New Year's greetings, and the little servant led him to the study and retreated.

"Qi Zhan, come in, there are no outsiders in the house today." The eighth master smiled, he didn't get up to greet him, he still sat on the couch with a purple clay pot and plate, and asked He Zhuo to sit on the opposite side of the chessboard.

He Zhuo let the little guy go down, untied his cloak and hat and put it on the chair, sat opposite the eighth master, took a chess piece and put it down after thinking about it.

In an instant, he intercepted the eighth master's chess move.

There is no need to play this chess, the eighth master has no power to return to the sky.

Both of them laughed, and the eighth master had to throw the chess pieces and get up slowly, pointing at He Zhuo and saying, "It turns out that you are not here to pay New Year's greetings today?" ”

He Zhuo smiled: "The eighth master is so leisurely, Jiang Chenxi, the governor of Shandong, has been carried out of the palace today." ”

The local officials will move around in the same year as the local second-class official, and Jiang Chenxi, as a local second-class official, has already been fenced off in his house in Beijing in the morning. Jiang Chenxi didn't leave the palace last night, and the people in his family still hid it. Unexpectedly, the eunuch in the early morning sent people back, and in front of a room of guests, Jiang Chenxi was wrapped in a large cloak of sable fur, which looked like an object in the palace. But it was not right to say that it was a royal gift, his whole body was burned and he was talking nonsense, his face was red like fire, and his knees were full of snow and mud, and he knew at a glance that he was kneeling.

So the guests said goodbye one after another. The Jiang family rushed out to ask the doctor to save their lives, and Jiang Chenxi was carried in to pour ginseng soup.

The eighth master was stunned when he heard it, and He Zhuo went outside to call the little maid to bring tea.

“…… How did Jiang Chenxi provoke that? The second monk of the eighth master was puzzled, and after asking, he let out a long sigh: "Qi Zhan, you see that I am sitting in this square courtyard now, and I can only face these things every day. He pointed to the chessboard on the couch, shook the book he was holding at some point, threw it on the table, and said with a wry smile:

"I'm like a wreck."

He Zhuo was gloomy, he saw with his own eyes that the eighth master was cooking oil like a blazing fire, and the flowers were brocade. also watched him snub in front of the door.

Even he couldn't help but sigh, let alone the eighth master?

The room was silent for a while.

He Zhuo broke the silence and stepped forward and said, "Why should the eighth master be arrogant? Although they are very different from the previous emperors, they are both emperors. He always has to use people, the eighth master is only eight buckets, as long as he is loyal, the emperor will understand sooner or later. ”

The eighth master shook his head and said abruptly: "...... In the past, I was a dog in the hands of the first emperor, but I was beaten down with a stick in the head when I didn't want to be a human being. ”

He Zhuo: "......"

"Now...... "The eighth master sighed angrily, "I can't do it if I want to be a new king's dog." Hehe. ”

He Zhuo was speechless. But he looked at the eighth master, but he didn't think he really gave up. He has been waiting for the eighth master since he was a child, and he knows the deep thoughts of this elder brother, that is, to climb up, desperately climb up. As long as he has one breath, he won't stop.

The eighth master raised his eyes and saw that the huge Forbidden City was not far away, and he could see it no matter where he was in the capital.

It was as if he could see the snow on the roof of the palace glistening in the sun.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, today's thirteenth finally blocked the fourth master.

There was still a sound of celebration in the Taihe Palace, but the fourth master was busy in the Heart Cultivation Hall with Ortai and other ministers. When Su Peisheng reported that Prince Yi arrived, the fourth master didn't even put the pen in his hand, and said, "Let him come in." ”

Thirteen soon came in, but was startled.

The house was full of people, all working. All kinds of words and paper are piled up into a mountain, and they are all familiar faces. No wonder he didn't see them in the Taihe Temple.

Everyone in the house got up to greet Prince Yi.

The fourth master put down his pen and got up and beckoned to Thirteen: "Thirteen come over and talk to me later." ”

Thirteen hurriedly followed, but after the fourth master entered the East Fifth Room, he couldn't help but be stunned. In the east five rooms, there is a whole peach blossom glass screen at the beginning, as if the spring light was left to this world by the emperor of the world.

The fourth master came in directly subconsciously, and only then did he feel that it was inappropriate. The East Five Rooms are full of plain things. The screen was painted for her after the peach blossoms, and it would take a few days to make the screen, so she first found a side from the storeroom to swing it. Behind the screen, there is also a treasure box with plain beads on the chaise longue.

After not making money strings, she turned back to string beads, and recently said that she would string 3,600 beads of Buddha beads for him.

But after a few days of stringing, I always strung and skeweed, and I forgot to string the first few beads.

He looked at the book, looked up and saw that she stopped and looked at the beads in a daze, and knew that it was another string wrong.

He didn't like to laugh at her, and he was afraid that she would be tired, so he asked her to count three thousand six hundred beads first, and let her finish the string and count them in pairs. As a result, she took it halfway through the string that day, compared it to his wrist, and circled around several times to ask him if he looked good.

He said that it is good-looking, and the plain string is the most beautiful, look at how beautiful the yellow beads, white beads, red beads, and black beads are.

As soon as she was happy, as soon as her hand was loosened, the rope that was originally pinched fell apart, and the beads fell to the ground.

At that time, her expression made the fourth master unable to say the words 'Why don't you tie a knot in advance', so she pulled her into her arms and coaxed, saying that it's okay, let's string again, or don't string three thousand six first, it must be much simpler to string three hundred and six.

The eunuchs and the palace maids had picked up the beads, and he asked her if she had strung them yet.

She buried herself in his arms and shook her head and said no more!

And then after a while, I went to skewer again.

The fourth master really can't do anything about her.

Turned to the West Fifth Room, and without waiting for Thirteen to speak, the Fourth Master said gently: "Thirteen, I know your intention. You sit down and listen to me. ”

Tell Thirteen again what he said to Su Su, and the fourth master said, "You say, do I dare to use such a courtier?" He dares to calculate today, and he doesn't know what to do tomorrow. I can't keep him. ”

At this point, Thirteen could no longer intercede for Jiang Chenxi, so he had to say: "The fourth brother wants to deal with him, and the younger brother can only obey his orders." It's just Jiang Chenxi, and you must not be charged with concealing the disaster! ”

That's natural, the fourth master is not so stupid.

The fourth master nodded with a smile and said, "I know." You can rest assured that Jiang Chenxi has been an official for many years, and I can guarantee that he will never be innocent. "How can an innocent official suddenly have such courage? He's definitely done it more than once.

Thirteen also understands this, and all the officials in charge are full of pigtails.

Seeing that he had persuaded Thirteen, the fourth master was also happy in his heart, and teased: "By the way, I heard that you gave Jiang Chenxi the cloak I gave you this year?" It's a waste of things. ”

Thirteen was about to apologize, and the fourth master called Su Peisheng: "Go, bring the sea otter skin cloak of mine to Prince Yi." ”

Thirteen hurriedly excused himself, but with the words of the fourth master, Su Peisheng still put it on him.

The fourth master smiled: "Okay, let's go back to the table in dress." If I'm not there, if you're not there, your nephews will be overturned. ”

Thirteen understood that this was the scene when the fourth master was worried about the Taihe Palace, and asked him to keep an eye on it, so he took the opportunity to retreat.

Su Peisheng was courteously sent all the way to Yuehuamen, and he couldn't see that he was 'iron-faced and selfless' yesterday to stop Thirteen outside.

"The prince walks slowly." He bowed.

"Father-in-law Su stays." Thirteen jaws, it doesn't matter how arrogant this slave is to outsiders, just be loyal to Banzai. Long live using him, probably also to take his loyalty.

It's just that......

Thirteen strange, yesterday Jiang Chenxi was scolded so much that he knelt outside the Heart Cultivation Hall all night, and I heard that he even lost half of his life when he was carried out of the palace today. Banzai's mood must be very bad.

When he entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, he thought that he was going to offend Shengyan today, but after coming out of the East Five Rooms, the anger in Banzai's body seemed to have melted and snowed, and he explained to him in detail, and Zuihou also rewarded him with this cloak.

…… It's really hard to figure out.
