Chapter 400
"Prince Yong's fourth son, Yinzhen, has a noble character, bows deeply, and will be able to inherit the unification, and succeed me to the throne that is, the emperor's throne, that is, to obey the rules and uniforms. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info released on the 27th, announced to China and foreign countries, and the salty envoy heard about it. β
The sharp and unnatural voice of the eunuch echoed in the hall for a long time, and after the last word was read, no one moved, no one spoke.
All of them had the same weird and resentful look on their faces, mixed with despair, except for Yinzhen.
He took a step forward and reached out to answer.
At this moment, the frozen air seemed to have finally been relieved of the ban, and the sound of mourning rang out from all sides, and one could not help but wonder whether this cry was for the dead or for the sake of the seemingly unpopular edict.
Yin Zhen raised his head and looked at the brothers with complicated and tangled expressions, and he saw the dull face of the eighth elder brother. Yinzhen's heart suddenly became uncomfortable.
So he became the new master of the world in this mourning wilderness.
Yin Zhen returned to the palace from Changchun Garden, and the family and servants were waiting at the door, and everyone's face was the same surprise and uneasiness: their master was about to become the Son of Heaven.
Standing at the front was 11-year-old Hongli, a young boy with a raised face and a calm look at his father - among so many people, he was the only one, there was no surprise on his face, but he seemed to know the result.
Yinzhen himself couldn't be happy, he only felt tired after taking care of patients for so long, and he couldn't wait to go back to the bedroom and sleep a lot. But when he returned to the room and really lay down, Yinzhen couldn't fall asleep over and over.
He still remembered that just now, when he came out of the palace, he was suddenly stopped by the eighth elder brother before getting on the sedan chair.
"Congratulations, Fourth Brother, you can be regarded as a winner!"
When the eighth elder brother said this, although his face was smiling, his eyes were so wide open, his mandible was square, and even his voice was trembling.
Yin Zhen turned his head to look at him: "Old eight, what do you want to say?" β
"I'm saying, the fourth brother has a good show." The eighth elder brother said slowly, "You have been hiding from me for ten years, and you keep saying that except for me and Sjepan, you don't care about anything else in this world - the fourth brother made a pit for me to jump, and I really stayed in it honestly......"
Gao Wuyong, who was following behind Yinzhen, became more and more disagreeable, he understood that the eighth elder brother was out of shape, and he didn't care that there were outsiders present. So he frowned, stepped forward and said, "Eighth Master, you have to be careful when you speak." β
Yin Zhen waved his hand and asked Gao Wuyong to retreat with the minions first.
He walked up to the eighth elder brother and looked at him calmly: "I didn't dig a pit for you to jump." What I say is true. β
"Do you want to be a fool for me!" Eighth Elder Brother sneered again and again, his face was a little distorted, "Lao Jiuyi told me to be careful of you again and again, I refused to listen, every time Lao Fourteen wanted to do something with you, I stopped - now I want to regret it, but unfortunately it's too late!" β
Yin Zhen stared at him, and suddenly said softly: "Old eight, do you remember that 'Yongzheng'?" β
The eighth elder brother was stunned, he didn't expect Yin Zhen to suddenly pull the topic away, he stayed for a moment, and said in a stiff tone: "Okay, what are you doing with that person?" β
Yin Zhen shook his head: "He is not the so-called 'that person', Lao Ba, when you were outside just now, Zhang Tingyu sent the new emperor number drawn up by the six departments and Jiuqing - guess what, what are the two words of the new emperor number?" β
Eighth Elder Brother stares at him!
"Prince Yong's Yong, orthodox righteousness. The name of the new emperor is Yongzheng. Yinzhen looked at his younger brother and said slowly, "The so-called Yongzheng is me." β
The surroundings were quiet, Gao Wuyong and his subordinates stood quietly a little farther away, the horses shook their heads slightly, and let out a subtle and inaudible breathing sound. In the air, there was a clear sound of snow droplets, and the bitter cold of the night silently swallowed up all the sounds.
Eighth Brother stared at Yinzhen like a monster!
He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound, and for a long time, he suddenly shook his head vigorously: "Impossible!" That's impossible! β
Yin Zhen was not irritable, nor angry, he continued to say in a flat voice: "Do you remember, the last time you asked me under the laurel tree in the imperial garden, when did Yongzheng come to the capital to find you, and how did I answer you at that time?" β
The eighth elder brother looked at Yinzhen blankly, and in his chaotic thoughts, he searched for an answer little by little.
The last time he asked about the person "Yongzheng" was on August 15 last year.
He secretly evacuated from the wine banquet in the palace, took advantage of the old man's tiredness and sleepiness, and pulled Yinzhen to the imperial garden, and the two of them carried the slave on their backs and found a secluded and uninhabited place to enjoy the osmanthus flowers.
He still clearly remembers that Yinzhen's answer at that time was: one year and three months, two days apart.
At that time, the eighth elder brother was still laughing at him, why could he know so carefully? Even such a fine data as "two days apart" can be calculated, isn't it nonsense?
Now that I think about it, from August 15 last year to November 13 at this moment, isn't it exactly one year and three months and two days?
At that moment, Eighth Brother's face was as if he had seen a living ghost!
He wanted to say how could you know?! He wanted to shout, saying How do you know that Huang Ama is breathing today? Aren't you a usurper of the throne?!
But that's impossible, the eighth elder brother also understands that there are so many people inside and outside the Qingxi Book House in Changchun Garden, so many elder brothers' eyes and ears, and so many imperial doctors, it is impossible for Yinzhen to kill the monarch under the noses of so many people...... Even if Kangxi was really killed by him, how could he have calculated it a year ago and wanted to attack it today?
No, not just a year ago? The eighth elder brother mentioned this "Yongzheng" ten years ago.
How can a man not know a prophet?!
Yin Zhen lowered his eyes, and he repeated softly: "I didn't dig a pit for you to jump, eight, I didn't lie, I didn't say a word of lie." What I say is true. β
After he said this, he stopped looking at the reaction of the eighth elder brother, and turned to leave.
At this moment, when he returned home and lay on the bed, Yinzhen couldn't fall asleep over and over. It's not for the upcoming enthronement, but for the excited look of the eighth elder brother.
He had a sad premonition that Eighth Brother would not bother with him anymore. Even if he gave him all the honor and trust, made him a prince, and even appointed him as prime minister, it would be useless.
β¦β¦ From now on, even Eighth Elder Brother will not listen to him anymore.
Kangxi Long drove the guests, and the new monarch was the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, so with Yinzhen, all kinds of people ascended to heaven, Long Keduo, Nian Qianyao and the like needless to mention, even Gao Wuyong, the subordinates around him, their faces were not as cautious and cautious as they were at the beginning, and they were all happy.
The palace was overjoyed, and even Si Jiepan joked with Yinzhen, saying that he squatted in the house all day long and looked at the beams of the house in a daze, "Could it be that the prince is reluctant to give up this house?" β
Naturally, the Yongwang Mansion could not live any longer, "the country cannot be without a monarch for a day", packed up, and moved into the Forbidden City as soon as the whole family moved. On the one hand, it is the funeral of the old emperor, and on the other hand, the new monarch ascends the throne, Yinzhen is very busy, although Yinxiang and Sjiepan help him, Yinzhen is still tired enough.
So much so, the night before he ascended the throne, he actually had a low-grade fever, which frightened everyone, Yinxiang hurriedly went to find the imperial doctor to boil medicine, and Si Jiepan persuaded Yinzhen to stop the matter at hand first, rest as soon as possible tonight, and recuperate to deal with tomorrow's ceremony.
"Long live the Lord tomorrow, but he will become the real Long Live Lord." Sjepan said with a smile.
Yin Zhen was very unaccustomed to him calling himself Long Live Lord, and he hoped that Si Jie Pan could still call him the fourth master as before, or even call him by his first name.
But he understood that it was something that Sjepan couldn't do now.
That night, Yinzhen had a very strange dream in a daze with a low-grade fever.
In the dream, he was also suffering from a low-grade fever and coughing, but he was still workingβnot dealing with preparations for the throne, but sitting in Jiang Lin's office, revising the PPT frame by frame.
He felt tired, his eyes were full of flowers, and the PPT seemed to never be able to be modified. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, but he still couldn't see the picture clearly. But he didn't do it long before he was stopped, and the director told him to stop working overtime, hurry home to rest, and took a piece of warm baby with his own hands and let him stick it to his waist, because it was too cold.
Yinzhen closed the computer and thought when he picked up the bag, Jiang Lin's people were still good to him, and Huang Ama didn't hurt him so much back then.
When he returned home in a trance, when he entered the elevator, Yinzhen heard someone shouting "Long live the Lord", when he turned around, it was Andre dressed as a courier, Andre saw him, and without saying a word, he stuffed a courier bag: "Hurry up!" Sign! β
Yin Zhen was confused, he asked, "Which name do I sign?" Do you sign 'Long Live Lord' for your company's account? β
The courier Andrei looked impatient: "Fool! Salutations and names are just symbols! The important thing is to deliver to the person! Just know who you are! β
Yin Zhen felt that what he said was deafening, and it was worth writing an excerpt to praise him.
But he was so tired that he fell asleep again, so he signed it indiscriminately and took the courier and went upstairs.
When he got home, Yinzhen handed over the courier package to Julia, who looked very happy, and didn't even have time to say hello to him, so she happily took the courier and entered the house.
Father and mother have no courier relatives, Yinzhen secretly thought, he was a little sad, feeling as if he had been abandoned by Julia, and there was no courier to attract her. But he was too tired to complain to Julia.
Looking up, Yinzhen found that the eighth elder brother was sitting on the sofa in the living room and watching TV.
When he saw Yinzhen coming back, he didn't get up, but only nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.
Yin Zhen was a little confused, he thought, why is Eighth Brother here?
At this time, Brother Ten came out of the house with a watercolor plate, he saw Yinzhen coming back, said hello, and looked carefully: "Fourth brother, are you uncomfortable?" β
"It's a little cold." Yin Zhen waved his hand, "Don't be nervous - why did your starling come over?" β
"It was Brother Jiu who called him here, and we will eat together in the evening."
"Where's Lao Jiu?"
"In the kitchen, let's eat boiled fish tonight."
Yin Zhen then remembered. Brother Jiu doesn't like to cook on weekdays, but his skills are not bad, especially when making boiled fish, it is a must, but Yinzhen loves to eat boiled fish, but Brother Jiu only cooks this during the New Year's Festival, and today is not a New Year's Day, how did he remember to do this?
Yin Zhen was confused, and walked into the kitchen, sure enough, Lao Jiu was standing next to the gas stove with a flower apron, and in the pot was a fish that had just been put in, which didn't look too big, and it was estimated that it was only about two catties.
"How did you think of making boiled fish today?" Yin Zhen asked.
Brother Nine grinned: "Isn't this, congratulations to Fourth Brother on your accession to the throne tomorrow?" β
Yin Zhen felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, and he was confused, and Brother Jiu said again: "If you become the emperor in the future, you have to behave well!" Aim to pay off your mortgage as soon as possible. β
Yin Zhen was a little confused, and thought for a long time: "But the emperor's annual salary is not much, and my house will have to last for nearly thirty years." β
"But after you ascend the throne, the loan can be automatically forgiven, I have calculated it for you, and it will be enough to repay it for another thirteen years at most." After Brother Jiu finished speaking, he glanced at him again, "I told you not to buy that house, it's good for you, buy such a flashy house at the stage of high housing prices, and how many times have I told you, your floor is too high, it looks good, but it is actually a gray layer, which is very unworthy!" If you want to stay glamorous, you have to be busy 24 hours a day like an old mother, and tiredness will exhaust you to death. Fourth brother, you usually look calm, but you are impulsive at critical moments, and you never think about the consequences of doing things - look, this is in the pit! β
"But it's too late for me to strike now!" Yin Zhen was a little angry, "When you bought it, you all said yes, but now I'm so pressed that I can't breathe, and you are here again!" Look at me so miserable, then you can help me! β
"Otherwise, I'll go live with my starling, I'll sell my house, sell my company, so you can pay the mortgage."
Yin Zhen couldn't cry or laugh: "This plan is too outrageous, either you die or I live?" I didn't ask you to give up your business to help me! β
"What else do you want to do? Someone has to make a sacrifice, right? β
The two of them were talking, and they didn't expect the eighth elder brother to come in: "Otherwise, I will pay off the mortgage with the fourth brother?" β
Yin Zhen didn't expect him to say this, but after thinking about it, he shook his head: "Okay." Are you paying my mortgage for me? Where did you get the money? I still gave that little money. Everything you do now is fake, and you refuse to take off this fake skin, and you still come to help me? How can you help? Let outsiders know, even you can't protect yourself. β
At this time, a mushy smell suddenly appeared in the air, and Yinzhen hurriedly pointed to the pot: "Fish!" It's going to be mushy! β
Brother Jiu came back to his senses and quickly turned off the fire.
"You guys, don't worry about me! Let's save the fish first! Yin Zhen glared at him angrily.
Brother Jiu threw away the spatula at this time, grabbed a rag and wiped his hands and walked out: "Old ten! Old ten! β
Brother Ten poked his head out of the room: "What are you doing?" β
"The soy sauce is gone, hurry up and buy a bottle!"
Brother Ten was a little reluctant: "But I'm going to ...... the draft?"
Yinzhen said, "I'll go." β
Brother Jiu stopped him: "The fourth brother is going to be the emperor, not soy sauce, let him go!" β
Eighth Elder Brother said: "Anyway, I can't be the emperor, I'll go." He took his wallet and keys, took Brother Shi's arm and walked out the door, and Brother Nine was still shouting at the kitchen door: "Come back quickly!" The fish is still in the pot, and it is already pasted on one side, and it will not be eaten if it is pasted on the other side. You kid hurry up, don't play games outside again, be careful that the fourth brother punishes you! Cut your clan registration and lock you up in the sect's mansion! β
The tenth elder brother was dragged by the eighth elder brother, and he was still struggling, he pulled his usual funny bright voice, and exaggeratedly tugged at his collar: "Why do you want to lock up my Zongren Mansion!" What's wrong with me playing soy sauce! I have made contributions to the party and the country! I've shed my blood for the commission! I want to see the commissioner! I have no credit and hard work! You can't do this to me, you can't leave me alone......"
Yin Zhen wanted to be happy, but he found that he was really tired, and he didn't even have the strength to be happy.
Turning his head to look at Brother Jiu, he asked again, "Tomorrow I will ascend the throne, will you come?" β
"Can't come, overtime." Brother Jiu fried the other side of the fish without raising his head, "Lao Shi has a painting class tomorrow, and he can't come." β
Yin Zhen was even more angry: "You won't come when I ascend the throne?!" You can take time off for overtime! Your broken company is so important! β
"I really can't come. Otherwise, I'll send a red envelope to the fourth brother. Brother Jiu blinked, "Later, you can collect it on WeChat yourself." β
"I don't want your two red envelopes?" Yin Zhen said angrily, "Those red envelopes you sent can't be cashed out!" I can only shop online, and the Forbidden City is not connected to the Internet, so I want a fart! β
He didn't bother to break with Brother Jiu anymore, so he simply went back to his room, only to find that Yinxiang was standing on the balcony connected to the room on the phone, and Yinzhen heard his voice: "...... Mango Terrace is set here, let my girls go up next week, rest assured! Do I still have a score for my work? My fourth brother is the emperor. β
Yinzhen slowly leaned on the bed, he secretly thought, it's honeyhoney again, and he will take it home to do official business, Yinxiang is really hard, go to Mango Terrace? Is it on the fast book? I don't know when, but remember to make a memo on my phone when the time comes.
However, what is the connection between being the emperor and his girls on the mango platform?
Yinxiang is really like to pull himself in everything.
He looked up at the window, for some reason, there was a white fog outside, he could only hear Yinxiang's voice, but he couldn't see his people.
Yin Zhen wanted to get up and go out to have a look, but he was too tired and didn't have the strength to stand up, so he could only fall on the bed and pull the quilt over to cover his feverish forehead.
He was still thinking about the fish in the pot of Brother Jiu, the fish looked like two catties at most, a small one, by the way, and half of it was paste...... Really, so many people are eating today, two catties of fish, is it enough to eat? Isn't one chopstick for one person?
Why didn't Lao Jiu buy a big fish? It's not that there is no money, it's rare for everyone to get together for a meal, and there are not enough things to eat, so embarrassing. Especially when the eighth elder brother comes to be a guest, he can't let people go home half-full, well, he will eat less later, and give the fish to the eighth brother.
But Yinzhen was a little unwilling in his heart, he liked boiled fish the most, and he had been looking forward to this meal for a long time, and the food was not enjoyable, how boring.
Lao Jiu is really, he is usually quite reliable, why is he so unreliable today......
But it doesn't matter, he will ascend the throne tomorrow, and when he becomes the emperor, he will first go to buy a big cauldron, and then go to buy a big fish, and then put a lot of peppers and peppercorns in it, so that everyone, including him, can eat enough at one time.
But are there really that big fish in the world? He is not Jesus.
Yin Zhen couldn't think anymore, he sank into a deeper sleep. (To be continued.) )
