Chapter 398

It's been a few years. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The situation has not improved in the slightest, and Yinzhen still has not received any information from the outside world, whether it is Andre's side or the research institute's side.

He wasn't even sure if Andre and the others couldn't get over, or if they had an accident over there and were too busy to take care of themselves.

Hope is getting slimmer and slimmer, like the untouchable light of a star on a snowy night, Yinzhen's character has become more and more cold with the passage of time, even Kangxi, sometimes he can't help but be displeased, he said that the fourth child was still a little lively in his early years, what happened in the past two years? Just like an old man, "I'm still in good spirits, he's getting old first." ”

When Kangxi complained like this, Yinzhen lowered his head and said nothing.

Kangxi only has the last two or three years left in his life, but except for Yinzhen, no one knows about it.

Fortunately, in the past few years, the eighth elder brother has kept his promise and has not fought against Yinzhen again, and he has tried to avoid those occasions where there may be conflicts, focusing on forbearance - in the eyes of others in the outside world, it seems that the Eighth Master Party is weak and can no longer confront the Fourth Master Party.

Sjepan snorted and sneered and said, this is just an expedient measure of the eighth elder brother, the prince didn't see the last time the emperor sent troops to Xining, it was the fourteenth elder brother who was picked? He was also awarded the title of General Wang...... This is clearly the result of the eight elder brothers' efforts at the bottom.

Yin Zhen sighed slightly.

He recently discovered that the most suitable expression for Sjepan is to hug his arms and hum and sneer, which is simply the typical image of black belly and white eyes in comics.

In the past few years, Si Jiepan's relationship with the Eight Masters has become worse, and he has secretly destroyed several conspiracies between the Nine Elder Brothers. For Brother Jiu, the most hateful thing is not Yinzhen, but the "pervasive" foreigner under Yinzhen. Even Yin Zhen didn't expect that this guy Sjiepan was really good at espionage work, as long as he wanted to know, even if the brothers were sleeping with their concubines in their arms at night, even Sijiepan could ask him about this kind of thing.

But the enemies couldn't find out Sjepan's fault, Sjepan didn't take bribes, he didn't sell his official beard, his sleeves were clean and exquisite, and he didn't even have a spare silver or two or an acre of land in his hands. This person is outrageously clean, and there is not even a girl around. And Si Jiepan has an official position, a status, and has met the saint once or twice, Kangxi is said to appreciate him, Kangxi listened to Yinzhen said, this foreigner started from not knowing a single Chinese character, and he studied hard to get to the present, and saw that he was quick to think and answered fluently, so he appreciated it even more.

Therefore, this person is no longer nobody, he is the shadow of Yinzhen, moving him is equivalent to directly moving Yinzhen, and Brother Jiu They don't have the courage to do so.

Sometimes Yinzhen also wonders, is Sjepan too idle, so he devotes all his limited energy to the infinite struggle for succession?

If he had a home, maybe it would be better.

However, Yinzhen couldn't talk to Si Jie Pan about this, and sometimes his subordinates, such as Gao Wuyong, asked him about it, asking him "Why don't you give Si Jie Pan a girl", Yin Zhen was speechless.

Sjepan is a gay, and he married a woman to him, not only sorry for Sjepan, but also sorry for that innocent woman.

Women can't do it, so ...... Man, is it possible?

But Yinzhen looked at it, and he didn't see who Sjiepan showed a good impression of, only once, he found that Sjiepan seemed to be paying attention to an official, that person was a director of the Lifan Academy, in his early thirties, with a smooth resume, a three-jinshi, and he was a hand-picked Tanhua, he was the kind of young and ambitious character, and he was quite good-looking, a bit like a certain star - Yinzhen thought about it for a long time, and then vaguely remembered that the star seemed to be called Wang Kai - does Sjiepan like this one?

He observed Schipan several times, and every time he saw Sjiepan looking at the back of this person leaving, Yinzhen thought to himself, do you like people? Do you want to pull a string for him yourself?

If the other party is a woman, then it will be easy to do, and it will be okay to marry someone with three media and six hires, just because he is a fairy beauty, the daughter of a wealthy family, is it still possible for the prince to be the master?

The question is whether the other party is a man, or an official of the imperial court!

So Yinzhen privately asked someone to inquire about the history of the principal, mainly to ask him if he had same-sex tendencies, whether he had visited the Xianggong court before, whether there were any children in the family, and whether he had had scandals with the same sex in the past...... As a result, there was nothing.

The conclusion of the investigation is that this person is a hardcore heterosexual, and he is also lustful, and he married three little wives at a young age!

…… Playing a table of mahjong is redundant.

Yin Zhen was secretly sighing, but he didn't want him to investigate people so meticulously, which caused trouble, the main person was not an afterthought, and immediately found out that Prince Yong was investigating him, which scared him to death!

Prince Yong investigates himself, what other good thing can this be?! Isn't it a sign of the ruin of the family!

The man thought about it, and simply took the initiative to come to Yongwang's Mansion, and confessed his mistake to Yinzhen in sweat: it turned out that he had deliberately miscalculated the acres of land in the farming and animal husbandry project he was responsible for, and put a part of the silver taels into his pocket, causing losses to the country - although in the future, because of his timid nature and the discovery of conscience, he tried every possible way to make up for the loopholes, but after all, he was still derelict in his duties.

And he was not greedy much, and when he counted it together, it did not exceed a hundred taels of silver.

…… It's so useless to be a thief.

Yinzhen quietly listened to him kneeling on the ground, snorting and slapping himself with tears and "review", he was angry and funny, he thought, this is called intentionally planting flowers and flowers not blooming, and unintentionally planting willows and willows.

According to modern law, this guy is guilty of embezzlement - but since the loopholes have been filled and people have taken the initiative to confess, Yinzhen is too lazy to care about this matter.

In the end, he lifted his eyelids and said "don't take an example", and sent the person away.

…… Until he came out of King Yong's mansion, the man was still like in a dream, and he thought that he would be beheaded by the whole family.

Yinzhen did this, so that Si Jie Pan also knew, he was very surprised, and couldn't help but ask, why Yinzhen just singled out this person, did he find out that he had dereliction of duty.

Yinzhen looked melancholy, and after a long time, he suddenly asked Si Jiepan: "Do you like him?" ”

Sjepan didn't understand at first, but when he understood, he was furious!

"How can I like him! What is the prince thinking! ”

Yin Zhen was also embarrassed: "Then why do you get distracted every time you see this person?" ”

"How can I be distracted!" Sjepan's face flushed with anger, "I'm thinking about what he's done, and when I'm going to close the net!" ”

No, Yin Zhen thought to himself, there must be something special about this person that attracted Sjepan's attention.

After a long time, one time, he met this person again in the Li Fan Courtyard, and when the guy resigned and left, when he turned around, Yinzhen stared at his back, and suddenly understood.

This person's back is very similar to Brother Jiu.

figured out the reason, Yinzhen didn't know what it was like in his heart.

Later, he knocked on Sjepan with words and asked him if he had ever thought about settling down in a home. Sjepan said with a righteous face: "The great cause has not been accomplished, and if the prince does not ascend to the throne for a day, I will not be at home for a day." ”

Yin Zhen sighed: "Why do you have to say so much? The emperor has a long life, you go on like this day by day, when will you be a head? ”

"It won't be that long." Si Jiepan said coldly, "The prince doesn't have to worry, it's only been these two years." ”

He has always been unscrupulous in front of Yinzhen, because Yinzhen never scolded him, and he was too tolerant, causing Si Jiepan to become more and more presumptuous, and even Yinxiang didn't pay attention to it.

Yinxiang was very angry, he didn't understand why the fourth brother spoiled this foreigner so much, and many things, Yinzhen handed over to Si Jiepan to do, but didn't hand it over to him, as if there was an estrangement with him.

Yin Zhen understands that this is not because of estrangement, but because he is unwilling to see his younger brother become a spy leader.

The fourteenth elder brother went on the expedition, and the eighth elder brother apologized to Yinzhen in private, he was worried that Yinzhen would misunderstand him in this matter.

Yin Zhen said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, there won't be a second candidate for this matter anyway." ”

He has always had this attitude in the past few years, no matter what happens, he doesn't care about it, and he is not shocked. The eighth elder brother thought he was pretending to be indifferent at first, but later found out that Yinzhen was really inappropriate. This made the eighth elder brother very confused, what did his fourth brother take to heart?

It seems that even the struggle for the throne is not active.

Yin Zhen said: "Didn't you say it? The only thing I want to do is keep you and Sjepan safe, and I don't have to worry about anything else. ”

When he parted that day, the eighth elder brother suddenly asked about the "Yongzheng" again.

"Fourth brother, the Yongzheng you are talking about, will he really come to the capital to find me?"

In the past few years, the eighth elder brother has asked for this name many times, and each time, Yinzhen only gave him a time limit.

It's the same today, Yinzhen glanced at him and nodded: "He'll come." Two years and three months to go. ”

The eighth elder brother couldn't help it anymore, and asked again: "Why do you have to wait so long?" Why didn't he come right away? Where is he now? What are you doing? ”

"The time has not yet come, and he will not come."

Yin Zhen said the time so precisely, it really didn't look like a perfunctory, and the eighth elder brother had to swallow back the words that were full of words.

Looking at his eyes full of anticipation, Yin Zhen secretly smiled bitterly, he thought to himself, why are you looking forward to Yongzheng so much? He's coming, you're going to be.

However, as for how Yongzheng Chao should treat the eighth elder brother and them, Yin Zhen himself didn't think about it, he only had one thought, no matter what, he must not kill the eighth brother.

That day, the eighth elder brother returned to Baylor Mansion from the private meeting, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were already waiting there, and it turned out that the fourteenth elder brother who was far away in the northwest came with another letter.

However, for some reason today, the eighth elder brother only felt a little lazy, although he held the letter in his hand, he neither wanted to open it, let alone read it.

He suddenly felt that it was all boring.

Seeing him like this, Brother Jiu looked hesitant, he thought for a long time before asking, "Where did Brother Starling come from just now?" ”

Eighth Elder Brother raised his eyes and glanced at him, and only said lightly: "Go and drink with a few friends." ”

He was lying, Brother Nine thought to himself, Brother Eight didn't have a trace of alcohol on him.

The tenth elder brother couldn't hold back, he said rudely: "Starling brother, you tell the truth, did you go to see the fourth brother again?" ”

Since he was told thoroughly, the eighth elder brother's face did not change, and he nodded: "I happened to meet the fourth brother and just said a few words." ”

"Just a couple of words?!" Brother Ten shouted, "Brother Starling, what the hell do you think!" Brother Jiu has said how many times have you been! told you not to go to see the fourth, but you just won't listen! ”

Over the years, the eighth elder brother didn't know how much he had heard such words, and he was not angry, but still said indifferently: "What are you afraid of?" The fourth child won't hurt me. ”

The ninth elder brother was on the side, and said intrinsically: "Starling, if you do this again, everyone suspects that you have to go to the fourth brother." ”

Eighth Elder Brother smiled: "Anyway, I can't be the emperor, what are you talking about?" ”

As soon as he said this, Brother Nine and Brother Ten glanced at each other.

Brother Nine asked tentatively, "Brother Starling, have you changed your mind?" Old Fourteen is here...... Do you think it's wrong? ”

The eighth elder brother was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

It turned out that before the fourteenth elder brother went on the expedition, he had secretly come to the eighth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother did not say anything else, but only eagerly expressed his loyalty, which means that even if he is out of the army, he is still the eighth elder brother's person, and he is still the core force of the eighth elder party.

The fourteenth elder brother is gone, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother are combined, in all fairness, they also feel that the eighth elder brother has no hope of ascending the throne, but in any case, this throne cannot be taken away by other elder brothers, especially not by the fourth elder brother!

Since the hope of the eighth elder brother has become slim, it is better to put the hope on the fourteenth elder brother instead, and the emperor is also very optimistic about the fourteenth elder brother, and being named the general king is a very good signal.

Regarding the opinions of the ninth elder brother, the eighth elder brother himself is nothing, he also knows that it is impossible to become the heir, and the fourteenth elder brother has always been loyal to him, in fact, the ninth elder brother's opinion is very pertinent.

However, today, his attitude made the Ninth Elder Brother suspicious, thinking that he was unwilling to fully support the Fourteenth Elder Brother.

It's not that the eighth elder brother doesn't support the fourteenth elder brother, it's just that he suddenly can't raise his energy.

He felt that these intrigues and plots had annoyed him.

Boring, too boring. The eighth elder brother thought, what's wrong with him? Why is there no interest in the things that you have always been passionate about?

Isn't it, brainwashed by the fourth elder brother?

He still thought of what Yinzhen said today: My purpose is just to keep you and Sjepan, that's all.

…… If the fourth elder brother is not hostile to him, and even has the purpose of keeping him, then what is the need for him to unite with the fourteenth elder brother to fight Yinzhen?

How could he do such a sorry thing for Yinzhen?

Seeing his strange expression, Brother Jiu couldn't help but be furious, he tried to endure it, and suddenly stood up: "Brother Starling, now, if you turn around and vote for the fourth brother, it won't end well if you ask me to see it!" ”

After saying that, he went away in a rage. (To be continued.) )
