Nian Qianyao stared at the Zhejiang envoy with a gloomy face, he knew that he had entered the palace this time to reward him, and there must be some people who were disgruntled and waiting for the opportunity to slander, but he didn't expect things to come so quickly, which caught him off guard.

Yin Zhen listened to the signs that something was wrong, stopped his chopsticks and asked, "What's wrong, what happened when you greeted me, tell me about it." ”

Qian Jinsong got up and arched his hand and said: "If you go back to the emperor, it's not a big deal, it's just that when you welcomed the Duke of Fuguo just now, a small official forgot to take the bucket away after cleaning the street, and collided with the Duke of Fuguo, and the Duke of Fuguo kicked over the bucket of water in a fit of anger." ”

Yun Yu slowly sipped the wine in the middle of the banquet, although he didn't look at it, but his ears kept listening carefully, he didn't expect that someone would be unable to hold his breath and poke things out today, instead of waiting until tomorrow morning to talk about it, which can also see how big their opinions are about Nian Qianyao.

Let's say that Yinzhen was there, and when he heard Qian Jinsong's words, his eyes sank slightly, and he looked at Nian Qianyao and said, "Is there really such a thing?" ”

Nian Qianyao glanced at Qian Jinsong with a smug face, got up and said with an aggrieved face: "If you go back to the emperor, there is indeed such a thing, but Lord Zhang has misunderstood, the slave knows that Lu Dao is now dry in Beijing, and it is not easy to transport water, and the emperor has cut off the ice in the heart palace and even the harem for this reason, how can the slave be so ignorant, it is really that the horse can't be restrained at that time, so it is not very kicking the water." ”

As soon as Qian Jinsong heard this, he immediately pointed to Nian Qianyao and said: "In front of the emperor, you don't want to reverse black and white, I and all the adults can see the situation clearly at that time, it is clearly deliberate, and you also scolded the little official viciously." ”

Without waiting for others to echo him, Nian Qianyao was already spreading his hands, and said with an innocent face: "What Nian said is true, but why does Lord Qian slander Nian so much in front of the emperor?" Did Nian offend Lord Qian somewhere? ”

Qian Jinsong originally wanted to embarrass Nian Qianyao in front of him, but he didn't want him to be so shameless, not only pushed everything he had done, but also sued the wicked first, accusing him of deliberately slandering, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

When he came to his senses and wanted to let the other adults testify for him, Yun Xiang was already smiling and playing a round, "Okay, this matter is a misunderstanding, Lord Qian doesn't have to worry too much, come on, come on, continue to drink." ”

When he said this, Yun Xiang secretly glanced at Yinzhen, which made Yinzhen, who wanted to ask a clear question, dispell his thoughts, and he knew that this thirteenth brother must have something to say to him alone.

Sure enough, after the banquet dispersed and the hundred officials retired from the palace one by one, Yunxiang stayed, and Yinzhen said indifferently after sending Sixi and the others down: "Now there are you and my brothers here, just say what you have to say." ”

Yun Xiang smiled and put down the teacup that he had been playing with for a long time, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the fourth brother." "Although there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, in private, they are still called brothers.

After saying this, Yun Xiangzheng straightened up and said solemnly: "Fourth brother, have you ever felt that Nian Qianyao's words and deeds after coming back this time are very different from before. ”

"For example?" As soon as he said it, Yin Zhen had a number in his heart, but he didn't say it directly, but waited for Yunxiang to speak first.

"In fact, the younger brother has not had much contact with Nian Qianyao, but he can also see a little bit of his words and deeds, and he is much more arrogant than before when he comes back this time, even if he tries his best to restrain himself in front of the fourth brother, he is still considerable." During the whole banquet, although Yunxiang didn't speak much, he saw the situation clearly.

"Are you proud of your achievements?" Yin Zhen bent his fingers and knocked on the table, got up and walked to the window, and looked at the leaves that were listless by the scorching sun that appeared in the sky again after the clouds dissipated, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know what Nian Qianyao asked me for before going to the Qianqing Palace?" He gave me the place of Su Yan for the rest of the year! The latter sentence was uttered almost through gritted teeth.

Although the imperial power has been challenged since he ascended the throne, it is the first time that he has been challenged by someone he trusts and relies on. It is not easy for Yinzhen to endure quietly until now.

Yun Xiang was taken aback when he heard this, and blurted out: "Nian Qianyao is so bold to interfere in the affairs of the harem? ”

Yin Zhen turned around and smiled coldly at Yunxiang, "Surprised?" I was as surprised as you were at that time, I went to the northwest and came back, Nian Qianyao has grown a lot, and he even dares to intervene in my family affairs, so if this continues, I am afraid that I will have to ask him what General Nian means in every word and deed in the future. The last sentence of Yinzhen is extremely mean, but it can also be seen from this that Nian Qianyao has reached Yinzhen.

"Did the fourth brother agree?" Yun Xiang asked with concern, now that Nian Qianyao has been arrogant to this point, if he regains the position of Nian Suyan's concubine, I am afraid that he will be even more unpopular.

Yin Zhen replied coldly: "I only said that I would consider it, but I didn't agree immediately. This was delayed in advance, and when he returned to the northwest, naturally no one mentioned it again. ”

"I'm afraid that Nian Qianyao won't give up." Yun Xiang was a little worried, and said tentatively: "In case he persuades again, what should you do here, Fourth Brother?" According to his thoughts, Nian Suyan can never be reset, even if he doesn't mention the impact on the previous dynasty, the harem is the same, after all, Nian Suyan harms the little sister-in-law like this, if she is restored, how to explain to the little sister-in-law, the harem will not be convinced.

Faced with Yunxiang's question, Yin Zhen didn't know how to answer, depressed, slammed his fist on the long table in front of the table, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, "Nian Qianyao, he is looking for death!" ”

From this moment on, Nian Qianyao has completely lost his position in Yinzhen's heart, if it weren't for his talent in leading troops, plus Nian Qianyao still holds hundreds of thousands of military power in his hands, Yinzhen would now let him become a prisoner from a third-class auxiliary prince.

At this time, Yinzhen also began to regret that the power given to Nian Qianyao was too great, and in the northwest, he almost let it be done and never bothered about it.

"Actually...... Why didn't the fourth brother remove Nian Qianyao's military power now? Yun Xiang pondered for a long time and said his thoughts, "Now that the northwest has been pacified, Luobuzang Danjin has also been ambushed, and the situation in the northwest is quite stable for the time being." ”

"For the time being, I know very well that place, the poor mountains and bad soils, the most prone to fierce people, if no one presses it, it won't take long, and immediately another Luo Buzang Danjin will come out, and there will be a Dzungar since the defeat of the first emperor He has really surrendered, I have to guard against it." Yin Zhen said helplessly, his meaning was very clear, Nian Qianyao is indeed hateful, but there is no shortage of Nian Qianyao now.

"The younger brother also understands, but the younger brother is worried that if one day, Nian Qianyao is no longer willing to be a courtier and raises an army to plot chaos, wouldn't it be a problem to raise tigers?" The ten-year ban has honed Yunxiang's mind and mind, making him think further in everything; Of course, the reason why he dared to say this was because of the decades of brotherhood between him and Yinzhen, and Yinzhen also knew that he had no selfish intentions at all, otherwise another person would think that he was deliberately slandering the emperor's favored ministers.
