Chapter 44

He was a polite person, and he raised his voice to call Zaichun, "Serve tea to Lord Xiao Tong." Novels/books, please ask for books]"

She said don't be busy, "I sit in the hall and drink tea every day, and I poured a belly of water before, so I'm not thirsty now." Turning his head and said, "Don't Zhang Luo in Zaichun, let's decoct medicine for your godfather!" ”

In the spring, I went to the stove outside.

Lu Run couldn't move, so he could only prop himself up and speak. People who are usually so bright and clean seem to have lost their spirits all of a sudden, and they look very depressed. Song Yin tucked the corners of the quilt for him, "Why don't you beg for mercy, say two good words, and you won't be harsh after you are happy." ”

He smiled helplessly, "If a person has made up his mind to deal with you, you will not do anything even if you are prostrate on the ground." It's not a day or two since I looked down on me, but this time it's just a chance to have a seizure. I still have to thank you, I didn't expect you to take the matter on yourself, I was very worried at the time, I was afraid that I would be angry with you later, but fortunately, the matter has turned the page, if it affects you, I can't atone for this sin. ”

Song Yin didn't tell him, just because of the last Xi nobleman's birth, he regarded her as his own, so he didn't take her seriously. She just excused him, "I can't do anything for you, since she used the Internal Affairs Office to suppress you, I agreed with me, and she had nothing to say." Don't worry about this, the case of the Guangchu Division last time was a favor you asked for me, otherwise our father and daughter would not be able to raise their heads here. Now that you're in a bumpy situation, there's no reason why I can't help you. ”

He nodded, "Sowing good causes and reaping good results, the Buddhist scriptures are right." In fact, I am not afraid of death, I have suffered all the hardships in my life, I am not treated and hated, I know what I am like in other people's mouths. He looked at her with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "I envy you very much, you are an official, doing the errands you should do." On the other hand, I am a palace eunuch, I serve people, and I am a slave in front of everyone. I can't tolerate it, and yesterday I counted my crimes, and there was a delay in the emperor's heir. ”

Song Yin's heart tightened when he heard this, for him, no matter whether he had anything to do with the emperor or not, if he could say this kind of thing, it would hurt him again. She didn't know how to comfort him, so she moved forward a little and said, "Don't take it to heart, the emperor gave an order yesterday, and it will be equivalent to being confined, which can be regarded as angry for you." ”

He didn't answer her words, he had the desire to talk, and sighed to himself, "Who wants to do it?" But when people come to this, sometimes they don't help their hearts. We're just a prisoner, who treats you as a human being! All I know is to work hard and do my part. for I know nothing but to serve. ”

His words were clear enough, he and the emperor were indeed involved, but not voluntarily. Although he is pure, he is still a man emotionally, and being with the emperor is a "practice", and his one qiΔ“ is just a compromise. Song Yin sympathized with his experience, after so many years, he may have gradually changed from passive to habitual, because he was hopeless in his life. No matter what others thought of him, she always felt that he was a man of character. He is doing his best to maintain his steadfastness and integrity, much better than those who play for the tiger.

"I told Amma, as long as you want, when you are old in the future, I will take you to my house and not let you serve anymore." She is sincere, she only sees him alone in the palace, but he is helpless, and he will be alone in the future, and she is afraid that she will not be able to die in peace.

Lu Run was shocked when he heard her words, and after being shocked, his eyes showed gratitude, "You think so, what about Lord Rong?" Will he object? ”

Song Yin was a little embarrassed, it seemed that everyone knew about her and Rong Shi, after all, the two of them had not made up their minds, and it still embarrassed her to mention it suddenly. There is no need to deny herself, after all, she has already recognized that person in her heart, so she said: "He often praises you behind his back, how can he oppose it!" When everyone is old, how lively it will be to get together. ”

A prison, fate is like duckweed, fortunately such a person, a confidant to take care of you, no matter what happens in the future, there is always a support in your heart. He had been overwhelmed for a long time, and she expressed this attitude, even if he might not really go to her house, there was a sense of worry-free. What's the rarest thing in the world? It's sincere. He didn't understand it before, but when he sees it today, he has no regrets in this life.

He took the idea and said slowly: "I was injured and couldn't enter the palace, and I found some news in the spring, saying that the emperor plans to eradicate Prince Yu, is there such a thing?" ”

Song Yin said yes, "Long live the Lord is upset for you, and finally made this decision." I think it's okay to do this, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and the sex is divided into winners and losers, and in the future, our Tong family can also work hard for the Lord, so as not to be human inside and out, and complain at both ends. ”

Lu Run didn't speak for a long time, and said after a long time: "Your position can't be clear, listen to me, you are on the wrong side at this time, and a mistake is an abyss." There are a lot of popular novels] The Ministry of Internal Affairs doesn't have to praise the government, you don't know the direction of the wind in the court, Prince Yu's foundation is very deep, and it is easy to pull it out. The emperor is sick and confused, and there is no heir to become a great unification for the time being, Prince Yu is the emperor's younger brother, and one day the throne will fall into his hands. He glanced at her, "The Holy Bow has become more and more wilted in the past six months, and there is nothing to see on his face, but in fact, the emperor's body has been hollowed out." He didn't declare a doctor because he knew his illness and was unwilling to set up a medical file, in case Hou and the sixth master would be more unscrupulous. I tell you this day for your own good, and you must remember. Speaking of which, the celebrant is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and we are subordinates, but I didn't treat you as an outsider, and because you were willing to take risks for me yesterday, I trusted you. How long the emperor can last, no one can say. He wants to bring down Prince Yu, but what about after he is brought down? Who will it fall to? Your internal affairs office is not a machine maintenance bureau, and if you can maintain neutrality in charge of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, you will try not to defect to either side. That's all I can do for you, to give you a wake-up call, so that you can see the whole thing clearly, and don't make mistakes every step, so as to keep your Tong Jia's foundation. ”

Song Yin was almost stunned, it turned out that there was such an inside story, the emperor was dying, and he could already take care of today but not tomorrow. In this way, no matter how careful the plan is, it is useless, unless the sixth master is killed in one go, this is still in the hands of others. Can their Tong family continue to be perfunctory on both sides, what about Rong Shi? He had to listen to the emperor's orders, and then he became a courtier, and now he was the minister of the guard, and once the emperor was finished in the future, what would be his end?

She stood up, circled around the earth, and muttered, "What kind of disease, how can it be done without passing on the doctor?" We should take a good look at the disease and make everyone live well. ”

Lu Run still shook his head, "Hot flashes, bone steaming, gold decay, eight times out of ten, tuberculosis." I took medicine a while ago, and I have eased up a bit, but it doesn't seem to be doing well lately. The people in front of the emperor all carry benzoin, and that incense can resist the insects, so you should be careful yourself. ”

The so-called tuberculosis is tuberculosis, which is basically difficult to cure. Song Yin was dumbfounded, and the first thing that came to mind was to make Yu. She has slept in the bed, will she be infected? This time it's really a pit for her, good sister, it's over.

Song Yin cried, she really didn't know what to do, wiped her tears and said to Lu Run: "You sue me for this, I am very grateful to you, otherwise I would be in a stupid dilemma at this time." It doesn't matter if we're free, pity my sister...... I'll have to go back and settle things up with my Amma, so I won't stay with you any longer. You take care of it, since the emperor is like this, it is important for you to save your own life. Before returning to the palace, it will be a day late! ”

She came out of the enclosure, dizzy, and had no direction on what to do. Fortunately, Yu has eyesight, and the monthly letter twice a month is done beautifully. Tuberculosis is a disease, the more sick she is, the more she doesn't know how to control sexual affairs in the future, she has to send someone to let Yu send a message, so that she knows in her heart, and it is better to shirk it cleanly.

She returned to the Internal Affairs Office in despair, and it was the time when the Guangchu Division was in the first inventory of January, and the subordinate leaders and pen posts dialed the abacus loudly. A new batch of cloisonnΓ© enamel hand stoves were placed in the craftsman's office, which were prepared for the little masters in the palace, and they were brought to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask the chief manager to take a look. Song Yin saw that her Ama was busy, and it was inconvenient to say anything, so she happened to send the guards to the office, she took the lamp to look at the workmanship of the fabric, and asked again: "Have you seen it to the guards?" ”

The warden said: "I will show it to you first, you have to see it, and then the slave will send it to the guard." ”

She nodded in a daze, checked it and felt that it was feasible, and handed over the dress, "Seeing that Master Rong was giving me a word for me, I said that I would see him at night, and I asked him not to go anywhere before the key, and I went to the guard to find him." ”

The warden snorted and took the sample and left.

I was busy again for a while, and I didn't have time to relax until lunchtime. The kitchen supervisor came in with a food box, and the father and daughter ate together, and Shu Ming served Song Yin a bowl of soup, "I see that your face is not good, are you tired?" Eat more, don't look back, you said that I treated you badly, and let my daughter be a cow and a horse. ”

She drooped the corners of her mouth and didn't speak, and waited for the prison to withdraw before she said: "I went to see Lu Run, he talked to me a lot, there is something I have to tell you, Prince Yu, we can't fight back, we have to hold him." ”

Shu Ming took a mouthful of stirred melon, hung it at the corner of his mouth and asked, "Why?" ”

She got up and looked outside the door, came back and said in a suppressed voice: "Long live the lord has tuberculosis, and the future is not good, we have to plan for ourselves." ”

"This ...... This ......"

The surprise is not small, some things are not as good as the sky when a real person is counted, the tiger is so powerful, who knows that the time of death has also arrived.

Song Yin drank the soup, tears streaming down her eyes, "Amma, we made a mistake and got into a hole." ”

Shu Ming sat there like a wilted loofah, looking hollow. After a long pause, he said: "Life, no one should complain." At that time, she chose someone to enter the palace, she volunteered, this time the hero missed, Baturu couldn't be a concubine, and she would earn a concubine in the future! ”

Losing the wife and breaking the soldiers, that's probably what it means. The father and daughter sighed at each other, and Song Yin didn't do anything for the second half of the day, and was busy making sachets. Make one for Ama and himself, and prepare one for Rong Shi, and finally look forward to the next value, Ama said: "You, I want to enter the palace of King Yu and see the sixth master." Since the emperor is seeing the oil run out, we still have to take refuge in him in the future. There was a storm in the court, he may not know, let's show loyalty, even if the sycophants are a little late, he will be useful in his heart, and he will not be difficult for us in the future. ”

Song Yin was a little afraid, "Why let me go, no one in the imperial court will be staring at the Yuwang Mansion?" If you let the emperor know, while he can still catch his breath, we won't be able to do it. ”

Shu Ming's eyes widened, "Are you stupid?" When is it time that you still can't turn the corner? And Rong Shi, you have to talk to him. He's dead-eyed, you can untie him, you can't let him slam down. In the future, please ask him to think about it himself, if he still wants to live, loosen his hands, don't get along with Prince Yu, and lay a good foundation first. ”

Song Yin sighed, he was also in the dark, and in the morning he said that he was promoted and planned to pinch Prince Yu, who knew that it would be a big reversal in less than four hours. Anything can have a turnaround, but if you collapse, you will never have a chance to turn it over. The emperor is really bad, if there is no Lu Run's informant, their group of people will happily accompany him to play with their lives. Promote Rong Shi, let him have great power and do it against Prince Yu, and when the time comes, he will close his eyes and become his Daxing Emperor, and the rest of your life and death have nothing to do with him, with this, why don't you deal with Prince Yu earlier?

People in the officialdom should be good at seeing the wind and steering, and quickly turn around when they see that the situation is not right. She grabbed the sachet and hesitated, not knowing what Rong Shi thought when she heard it. Let him defect to Prince Yu, can he finally agree?

Anyway, when it was time, the officials were ready to leave the palace, and the period before the next duty was the most casual, and Song Yin took advantage of this moment to go out of the Longzong Gate and go to the guards. The guard office is located in Hemen, she doesn't come often to the yamen, and the minister of the guard is not only Rong Shi, there are six people with the same title, and there are also ministers of the interior and scattered ranks at the bottom, all of whom are higher than her, and they are all nobles in the nobles. There is not much intersection between the guard office and the internal affairs office, not to mention those who are officials, that is, the first- and second-class guards below, they all have to call themselves slaves when they see them, and when they get there, they are in the nobleman's nest, and she even cringes a little when she enters the door.

Rong Shi listened to the words of the superintendent of the office, and really waited for her in the duty room, she was the only female official in the palace who had been awarded the title, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, things were scarce and precious, and the officials who entered the door accosted her. Rong Shi is going to marry her, and that smugness is amazing, lest everyone don't know, it has already been publicized by everyone.

He stood in front of the door and watched her talk to people, word by word, gentle and polite, and an irrepressible sense of pride rose in his heart. When she came, she hurriedly welcomed her into the house and said with a smile: "I only saw her in the morning, will you miss me again?" ”

Song Yin glanced at him, and the other people in the room also knew each other when they saw this, so they all excused themselves.

She took out the sachet and put it on his belt, carefully turned it over to the sunny side, and told him earnestly, "You can't leave your body, you must take it with you when you enter the palace, remember?" ”

He hummed and looked down, it was quite simple, there was really no beauty at all, so he laughed at her, "What kind of style is this?" How come you've never seen it? ”

Song Yin said: "I made one in a hurry, first make do with two days, and then embroider well when I have time." ”

He raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "What are you doing?" One me, one Lu Run, and one Yan Liu? ”

She couldn't help him, "What do you want!" He untied the betel nut bag and showed him, "Here's one, and the other is at my Amma's." ”

He didn't understand, it was the first time she was chattering like this, something was vaguely wrong, right? He pulled her back, went to the arrow pavilion in the courtyard and asked her, "What are you preparing for this?" ”

Song Yin grabbed his hand tightly and said, "I got a message from Lu Run, the emperor is not well, I'm afraid the days are numbered, you have to plan early." This sachet contains benzoin, which is used to prevent insects, and if you are going to be invited, you can take me with you at ease. She looked up at him, "Second brother, why are we so difficult, I thought we could have hope, but the result was ......"

Rong Shi couldn't come back to his senses, and the joy of his promotion had not yet dissipated, but a big wave hit him and beat him dizzy. He settled down and asked her, "Is Lu Run's news accurate?" ”

"He's driving day and night, there's no wrong with that. I thought it was because I saved him yesterday that he sued me in order to repay my favor. The emperor was not allowed to reveal that he knew the disease, and he didn't even pass on the doctor, so he just asked the palace people to decoct the medicine. If it weren't for Lu Run's bad luck this time, this matter would have been concealed until it could no longer be hidden. She leaned into his arms and said, "What are we going to do in the future?" ”

He tightened his arms around her, kissed her forehead and said, "Don't be afraid, rely on the mountains and mountains, rely on the sea and the sea, only rely on yourself." It really got to this point, and I only had the idea of getting rid of him. ”

Song Yin was shocked, "You mean ......"

He nodded, "While the emperor is alive, he can still move." By the time the dragon royal returned to heaven, it was too late. ”

"Nope." She grabbed him by the arm and said, "I don't want you to do that, he's such a shrewd man, there are twenty of them just in front of Goshha, and there's a whole bunch of people hugging him everywhere, don't take the risk." Actually, there is no deep hatred between you......"

Rong Shi bared his teeth, "He wants to rob my daughter-in-law, and he has made trouble twice, and he still has no deep hatred?" If I don't say anything, you're his. In case he is the emperor, is there still a place for me to breathe? He clenched his fists and said, "I'll go out and break the can, and the first strike is stronger." ”

"Don't be hysterical, just make trouble for a woman?" She sighed and reassured him, "As far as you are afraid that no one in the world will know, you know that we are a couple." If he ascends the throne and the emperor robs the wife of his ministers, he still needs face. ”

"What if he's shameless?"

She asked, slowly let go of her hand, and stared at him, "That's why we don't have a fate." You are not allowed to act rashly, this is not a trivial matter, there are so many lives in the family, is it fun? She looked around, saw that there was no talent, and said, "You are not the only minister of the guard, you are a little more active, if you have anything to push others to do, don't come forward." ”

Where are they still living as ministers under the imperial power, they can't be killed or offended, they are really dead. He said: "When the day comes, it's a big deal to resign and return to Jiangnan." But he also knew in his heart that it was so easy! falls into the hands of rivals in love, and the run will also squeeze you to death. The love between him and Song Yin was smooth and warm, and all the resistance came from Prince Yu. Once this biggest obstacle is crowned emperor, what will happen in the future? Is there nothing else to do but give up?

She wrapped her arms around his waist again, buried herself in his arms and said, "Then I will also resign, and I will go to Jiangnan with you to be your young grandmother." ”

He laughed, "Truth? Don't lie. ”

She hummed firmly, "I'm not lying, I'll follow you." If you go to Jiangnan, I will go to Jiangnan, you do business, and I will give you a plan. ”

"That's okay, it's overkill, let the emperor's chief manager make an account for me?" He smiled, slowly fell silent, picked up a tuft of her hair and twisted it on his fingertips, and muttered, "I hope the emperor has more time, at least until Guo Guiren's child lands, if it is an elder brother, maybe there will be a delay." ”

What's the delay? Make an infant child a prince? Who can serve the Manchu Dynasty? When the time comes, find the minister who cares for his life, if the sixth master is confiscated and confiscated from the military power, there may be a chapter to do. If not, what difference does it make if he becomes the emperor or not?

Song Yin is worried now that Rong Shi has offended him, if it is just for her, she feels that it should not be so strict, after all, the sixth master does not like her seriously, he just wants to borrow the Tong family's hand to choke the emperor's throat. When he flies to the throne, the Tong family will have no use value, and her marriage will naturally have nothing to do with him at that time.

She comforted herself and him with a fluke mentality. His mind is heavier than hers, even if he is tired to this level, what he values most in his heart is firewood, rice, oil and salt. He is not an aspiring person, being a cook with someone to eat, being a carpenter with someone, it's as simple as that. He is attentive to Song Yin, if his beloved is snatched away, then a man can't accept it. There is a mustard between the monarch and the minister, and it is impossible to get along in harmony, and in front of other people's officials, sooner or later they will be cleaned up under various pretexts.

Song Yin has her own plans, and she Ama asked her to see Prince Yu, which is fine. Take the opportunity to take a stand first and strive for opportunities for yourself and Rongshi. Some things should be said, and they can't be hidden anymore. The emperor does not die, and no one can shake the status of the Rong family; The owner changed hands, and the priests of the Baohe Hall led the ministers of the guard, and did they still have their father's share?

"Now that we're here, I think we should take a gamble." She said, "Let's make meritorious contributions, if he can use us, let's try to do it for him, and he may not be able to get along with us after he joins the board." ”

After hearing this, he snorted, "It's not that there is no emperor who kills heroes, if he is really so affectionate, and he is still pressing the emperor step by step?" ”

It is also said that a man who has no mercy for his siblings, to whom do you expect him to be merciful?

This matter could not be discussed for a while, and the situation was changing rapidly, so we could only act on the opportunity. Song Yin couldn't stay here for a long time, so he earnestly told him to leave after a few words. Before leaving the palace, he went home and dressed up, pretended to be a servant who delivered vegetables and fruits, and went straight to Prince Yu's mansion with his burden.
