Chapter 403
That day, during the entire process of going to court, Brother Jiu didn't say a word. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He stood in the crowd, lowered his head, and listened to the questions and answers of Yinzhen and the ministers in his ears, but his heart was like a turbulent river, and he was in chaos.
He was still thinking about the scene when Shi Cai was in the courtroom.
Skjepan forgot about the past, and he became a Qing Dynasty man through and through, no, to be exact, a Qing Dynasty official, and a very special one.
Brother Jiu can see clearly, when the ministers look at him, the complicated eyes of fear and disgust, although the official position is not high, but in fact, Si Jie Pan is already a powerful person, he is already a character who can determine life and death in one sentence, including Yinxiang, it seems that he doesn't like Si Jie Pan very much, but even the hot Prince Yi has to give three points to this blonde foreigner, it is conceivable how high the status of Si Jie Pan is in Yinzhen's heart.
As for the eight elder brothers, who failed to win the heir, if they want to confront such a Sjepan, it will be even more like hitting a stone with an egg.
How did he become like this? Brother Jiu couldn't help but lose his mind, he always remembered that when he was with him, Sjepan's happy and innocent appearance, even if he was seriously injured, he never tried to retaliate against the other party, but just hid and licked/licked his wounds alone.
What has happened to this man in the past ten years?
Brother Jiu's distraction was quickly seen by Yin Zhen on the throne, he frowned, and suddenly interrupted another minister's words: "Yun Yu, do you have something to do?" ”
Brother Jiu was stunned, and then remembered that his name had been changed because of the new emperor's accession to the throne.
He lowered his head and said lightly: "The minister has nothing to do. ”
Yin Zhen also seems to have lost his memory, which is a conclusion that he and the tenth elder brother reached together not long after entering the hall. Because no matter how carefully they looked at the person on the throne, they only felt unusually strange, even if there was a moment of eye contact, it was full of coldness, this person was no longer the fourth brother who shared weal and woe in their memory.
Brother Jiu thought that he had answered, and this stubble would pass, but he didn't expect Si Jie Pan next to him to suddenly sneer: "The ninth master just cursed the official in the court room to be deaf and blind, and his life is short, why is it that when he arrives in front of the Long Live Lord, he doesn't say a word?" ”
There was a low uproar among the courtiers.
Brother Ten was so angry that he was about to explode, and he was about to speak, but Brother Nine grabbed his arm hard.
"I just said it, it's just a joke." Brother Jiu said calmly, "Lord Si, you have a lot of adults, so why do you have to have a joke with it?" ”
Sjepan's face was surprised, he didn't expect Brother Jiu to repeatedly show weakness today, obviously it wasn't like this in the past.
He didn't ask any more, but Yinzhen on the throne suddenly asked: "Yunyu, why do you want to curse Si Jiepan to be deaf and blind and die soon?" ”
When the eighth elder brother heard this, he panicked, he knew very well how much Yinzhen attached importance to Sjiepan, although Sjiepan didn't seem to want to pursue it anymore, but looking at Yinzhen's posture, it seemed that he wanted to make a big deal about it.
So he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Yun Yu didn't say anything like that......"
Before he finished his words, the tenth elder brother next to him couldn't hold back any longer, and said in a rough voice: "Yes, it wasn't my ninth brother who said it, I said it." ”
When he opened his mouth, everyone present was startled.
Ten elder brothers don't call "ministers", they call "me" directly, this is unruly to the extreme, and he actually admits it directly, isn't it fatal!
Yin Zhen stared at his younger brother with a strange gaze: "Why do you want to curse Si Jie Pan like this?" ”
Brother Ten sneered: "This is not called a curse, this is called a statement of past facts......"
The ninth elder brother was so frightened that his heart was pounding, and he covered the tenth elder brother's mouth vigorously: "Can't you say a few words!" ”
The buzz of the crowd became louder.
Yin Zhen stared at them for a long time, for a long time, and nodded: "Okay, let's not mention this matter for now." ”
Brother Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.
It was easy to stay up to the scattered dynasty, and as soon as he came out of the main hall, the ninth elder brother complained about the tenth elder brother.
"You don't want to die! What's the use of saying those! ”
With tears in his eyes, Brother Ten muttered, "I can't see him bullying us!" ”
Brother Jiu was speechless for a while, he sighed: "I told you a long time ago, they all forgot, in this case, you still have to rush up to tell the truth, that is, to die." ”
Brother Ten wiped away his tears indiscriminately: "Are we just looking at it like this?" Do nothing? ”
Brother Nine walked forward slowly, and then he stopped: "Old ten." ”
"Brother Nine?"
After a while, the tenth elder brother heard the voice of the ninth elder brother: "I want to go back." ”
The tenth elder brother was stunned: "Go back?" So fast? ”
"Well, I'll go back first, you and Julia will stay for another two days, and I'll tell Andre about the situation, and then make plans. Don't worry, at most, it will only be a day or two, and maybe Andre himself will come over to finish it himself. ”
When the tenth elder brother heard this, his heart became more and more sad: "Ninth brother, you have only been here for two or three days......
"I don't want to stay here anymore. I don't want to see him again, I can't stand it, I can't stand it...... See his face. When Brother Jiu said this, his voice suddenly became hoarse, "I've waited for ten years, not for this kind of ending. If I had known that, I would ......."
Brother Ten was speechless.
At that time, the two of them stood quietly on the steps of the main hall, and in front of them was an empty square, and the scorching midnight sun burned fiercely in mid-air, like a silent flame. The hot, dry wind blew mercilessly against them, almost with the force that swept them away.
The tenth elder brother looked at the elder brother in front of him, and he realized that the ninth elder brother looked a little old. In that way, like a bronze statue that has stood in a thick fog for a long time, it seems to have not changed, but when you look closely at the subtle parts, you will find signs of severe corrosion by time, and it turns out that it has long since lost its original pride and brilliance, and is becoming more and more dilapidated......
The ninth elder brother came back to his senses, and he smiled hard: "Besides, seeing that the fourth brother and the starling brother don't know anything now, just like strangers, I feel uncomfortable in my heart." I'll go first, go back and talk to Andre, what about you, stay here first, and make arrangements at home......"
"What else is arranged?" Brother Ten suddenly whispered, "There's no one to talk to." ”
Brother Jiu was speechless for a while.
"I'd better go with Brother Jiu." Brother Ten smiled reluctantly, "Now in this situation, if you tell me, Julia won't want to stay." ”
Brother Jiu thought for a moment and nodded: "That's okay." ”
While the two were talking, a eunuch hurriedly came from behind: "Ninth Master stays." ”
When they looked back, it was a eunuch beside Yinzhen. The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother couldn't recognize each other, so in order not to help each other, they had to smile, and the ninth elder brother said, "What else is the matter with my father-in-law?" ”
"The ninth master, the tenth master, long live the master wants to see the two of you."
The two looked at each other, and their hearts were suspicious. But the eunuch seemed to refuse to say more, only lowered his eyebrows and made a gesture of please.
Brother Jiu couldn't, so he and his younger brother followed the eunuch inside.
When they arrived at the Dongnuan Pavilion, the eunuch went in first and informed Yinzhen that the two had arrived. Brother Jiu glanced at his pale brother, shook his hand again, and signaled him to calm down.
The tenth elder brother trembled, and whispered: "Ninth brother, I'm afraid of ......"
"You, what's there to be afraid of?"
"This fourth brother can kill!"
Then the eunuch came out and led them into the house.
Yin Zhen sat in front of the window, his body had changed into his regular clothes, and when Brother Jiu came into the house, he followed the countermeasures he had thought of on the road, first saluted the monarch and ministers, and then spoke: "Fourth brother." ”
Don't call the emperor, don't shout long live, call the fourth brother first, in this way, even if Yinzhen wants to harm them, he always has to think of a little brotherly feelings.
However, to the disappointment of Brother Jiu, Yinzhen's face did not change, and he stared at himself and Brother Ten coldly, and for a long time, he did not say a word.
Under this kind of torture-like gaze, the tenth elder brother gradually became a little uneasy, and he grinned hard: "Fourth brother called me and ninth brother, is there something wrong?" ”
Yin Zhen nodded lightly: "There is indeed something." Yun Qi, what is the matter of Sjepan that you mentioned at the court meeting today? ”
Brother Jiu chuckled in his heart!
Sure enough, it's for this!
He hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, he doesn't mean anything else......
"I didn't ask you." Yin Zhen interrupted him coldly, "I'm asking about Yun Qi." You say that Sjepan is deaf and blind, and you say that it is a statement of facts - when is this a fact? ”
At this moment, the tenth elder brother finally became timid, his face turned yellow, and he smiled dryly: "Actually, there is no such thing......
When Yin Zhen heard this, his face suddenly sank!
"There is no such thing, why say that!" He said sharply, "Sjepan has been abiding by his orders and being loyal to his duties all these years, and even the first emperor has praised him a lot, but you people can't tolerate him if you practice him all day long!" ”
Brother Ten couldn't help but be wronged when he scolded him like this, and he argued: "I don't have ......"
Brother Jiu finally understood that the situation was bad, and he hurriedly shouted: "Old Ten, you are confused, the emperor is here, pay you back and mine!" What a system! ”
When Yin Zhen heard this, he sneered slightly, and he nodded: "Lao Jiu, you protect Lao Ten everywhere, you will also fill the basket of Lao Shi, and you will also fill the basket of Lao Shi, do you want to be a pastemaker?" ”
These words are hard to hear, and when it comes to the ears of the ninth elder brother, it is like a needle prick.
But he didn't dare to talk back, so he only lowered his head and said in a dumb voice: "Yun Qi is disrespectful to the emperor, minister...... Just teach him a lesson. ”
Yin Zhen sneered more and more: "Huang Ama is gone, so it's your turn to teach him a lesson?" ”
At this time, Brother Jiu understood, and he fell into a hole called "Blame at Every Turn".
Today's hurdle, I'm afraid it's not going to be easy!
Brother Jiu couldn't help but feel like a man's back, and cold sweat oozed out again. He struggled and said, "That's not what the minister meant......"
"What the hell do you mean, I'm too lazy to know." Yin Zhen snorted, looked up at Brother Ten again, and looked tired, "Okay, during this time, don't come to the court, let me reflect on yourself at home, so as not to annoy people!" ”
The ninth elder brother secretly glanced up at the tenth elder brother, and he saw that the tenth elder brother's eyes were quickly filled with tears.
At this time, Brother Ten suddenly shouted: "Since you don't want to see me, why do you want to lock me up at home for reflection?!" Wouldn't it be nice to send it directly to prison! ”
Brother Jiu secretly screamed that it was not good, it was too late for him to stop him.
I heard the tenth elder brother continue to shout: "Fourth brother, don't bother, you will also put me in the prison in Baoding!" Why drag on for a few years? It's better to die early! ”
Brother Nine was so frightened that his soul flew away!
Look at Yinzhen's face again, the color is blue, and his eyes are about to fall out of his sockets, like that, it seems that he heard the most incredible words!
He asked, "Why the prison in Baoding?" Not a prison somewhere else? ”
The tenth elder brother also said: "Ninth brother, didn't he die there!" Fourth brother, what else are you bothering about! Just put me in there! ”
Yin Zhen's mind suddenly went blank, and he involuntarily stood up: "How do you know!" ”
Brother Ten finally came back to his senses, he looked at Yinzhen blankly, opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound!
Until this moment, Brother Jiu finally sensed that something was wrong, his brain boomed, and a bold guess popped up.
He tentatively asked in a low voice: "Fourth brother, it's us, me and the tenth ...... We're back. ”
For a moment, the room was extremely quiet.
Yin Zhen stared at them, his expression was like a person who had just woken up from a big dream, his face was full of disbelief.
"Is it really you?" Suddenly, he asked in a low voice, "Lao Jiu, is it really you?" Not a copy? ”
Brother Jiu is like that, like someone has been hit on the back of the head with a stick!
He took a step forward and shouted, "It's us!" Fourth brother, we are not copies! It's me and the old ten...... We're back! ”
He wanted to pounce forward, and wanted to reach out to grab Yinzhen's arm, but unexpectedly, Yinzhen suddenly took a big step back!
"Why are you coming back!"
His voice stunned the ninth and tenth elder brothers!
"Wouldn't it be better if you just left me here and left me to fend for myself!"
Seeing that Yinzhen's eyes were full of tears and his face was flushed, Brother Ten couldn't bear it, and he wanted to come forward, but unexpectedly, Yinzhen grabbed the tea bowl next to him, and smashed it in front of their heels!
"Get out! Get out of here! I don't want to see you! ”
He looked like crazy, Brother Jiu was stunned, he sighed, pulled Brother Shi's sleeve, and the two of them quietly withdrew.
Dragged by the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother stumbled out of the back room, and he cried as he walked: "Ninth brother! He remembered! He didn't forget...... The fourth brother didn't forget! ”
Brother Jiu couldn't help choking: "Yes, he didn't forget." The fourth brother is in a bad mood now, so let him stay alone for a while. ”
The two of them walked out for a while, and suddenly there was a trotting footsteps behind them, and Brother Jiu looked back and saw that it was the eunuch just now.
I saw that the eunuch ran to them out of breath, and said breathlessly: "Ninth master, tenth master, long live master...... Please both of you go back. ”
The ninth elder brother glanced at the tenth elder brother, and the two couldn't help but smile at each other. (To be continued.) )
