"What is it?" Yin Zhen's voice carried a bit of irresistible majesty, which made Hongli's body tremble, but he still insisted: "Although Nian Changzai made a big mistake, she is the third brother's biological mother after all, she and the third brother miss each other, why does Huang Ama have to separate them, since even other people's children can be treated as their own children, why should they be so strict with their own sons." ”

Yin Zhen's face was already gloomy, and he stared at Hongli and said, "Who taught you to say this?" He didn't believe that Hongli would come to say this for no reason, it must have been instigated by someone, Ling Ruo?

"No one instructed the sons, it was the sons who meant." Hongli tried his best not to dodge Yinzhen's scrutinizing gaze, "Huang Ama, Erchen has seen the sadness of the third brother with his own eyes these days, and he really misses the new year. ”

"It's his business to miss it or not, the palace rules are there, don't forget, it's your mother who was often framed at the beginning, don't you hate her? And Hongsheng, he used to bully you like this. ”

Hongli was silent, and after a while, he said: "Erchen hates her, but hateful is not all, Eniang taught Erchen a word: hateful people must have pity, so Erchen also pity her; As for the third brother...... "Hongli bowed his head and said a word, "No matter what he does, he is always the brother and sister of the son, and since he is a brother, he should not hate, I remember that the emperor Ama once taught the son-in-law that there must be harmony and friendship between brothers." ”

Hongli's words that were a little straightforward but full of his own thoughts surprised Yinzhen, and at the same time affirmed that there was really no one to teach Hongli, otherwise he would not have spoken so bluntly.

"Huang Ama, please be merciful and let the third brother go back to Yikun Palace." Hongli asked again.

Yin Zhen didn't scold him, nor did he get angry, but just said lightly: "It only takes me a word to let Hongsheng return to Yikun Palace, but have you ever thought that today I broke the rules for Hongsheng, so next time others can also ask me like this, when the time comes, everyone will take the palace rules and what I have said as air, so what prestige do I have at all, and how should I govern the country." ”

Hongli was speechless when he said this sentence, and it took a while to squeeze out a sentence, "But there is also a saying: The law is nothing more than human affection." ”

Before his words fell, Yin Zhen immediately picked up, "Then I also remind you: the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people." You sympathize with a Hongsheng today, should you sympathize with the death row inmates tomorrow, let me release them, or even cancel the death penalty altogether? When the time comes, will this Qing Dynasty still look like it? The wicked burned, killed, abducted, raped ** women, but the officers and soldiers sat idly by! ”

"Erchen didn't mean that, Erchen just wanted to ......" Hongli was frightened by Yinzhen's words like a storm, and hurriedly wanted to justify, but Yinzhen didn't give him this opportunity, and interrupted: "That's what it means, I'm not scaring you, there are no rules, there is no circle, governing this country is not as easy as you think." ”

Hearing this, Hongli understood that the third brother had no chance at all, so he bowed his head and said: "Erchen knows that he is wrong, please punish Huang Amma." ”

Yin Zhen snorted coldly and said: "I think you are still young, let me spare it, next time you want to say something, think about it first." In fact, it is really a commendable thing for Hongli to have this benevolence at a young age, but Yinzhen has high hopes for Hongli that are different from those of other sons, because he is very strict with him and does not allow him to make a small mistake. Forgiveness is good, but a woman's kindness is prone to bad things.

"Alright, you can get out of the house. As for Hongsheng......" Yinzhen's voice paused, and then said: "Let him stay in Chengqian Palace for a long time, and everything will be talked about in the future." ”

Yinzhen's most obscure words made Hongli ignite a little hope, and Huang Ama said that he would talk about it later, that is, there may be room for return in the future.

"Yes, the retainers are retired." Hongli withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Hall after kowtowing, looking at the re-closed vermilion palace door, Yinzhen suddenly wanted to laugh.

It seems that in the future, on the issue of siblings, Hongli will do better than him, Amma.

When Hongli told Hongsheng Yinzhen's words as they were, Hongsheng was disappointed, but finally did not despair. And with Hongli's efforts, Hongsheng's resistance to Chengqian Palace is also slowly fading, although he is not lazy to see Ling Ruo, but at least he will not be as stubborn as before, and sometimes he will answer a few words.

On July 17, Ling Ruo released Hongsheng from the Buddha Hall, and allowed him to continue to go to the study to listen to Master Zhu's lectures.

On July 26, Nian Qianyao arrived in Beijing, ordered the army to be stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, in this dynasty, without a holy decree, the army is absolutely not allowed to enter the nine gates of the capital, otherwise it is equivalent to a rebellion, the infantry battalion, the cavalry battalion, the Fengtai battalion, can be escorted by the king at any time, and they will be killed.

Knowing that Nian Qianyao arrived in Beijing, Yinzhen was very happy and ordered hundreds of officials to greet him, including the provincial officials who were ordered to go to Beijing to gather to welcome Nian Qianyao's victorious return, these officials are among the best in the provinces, and they usually stomp on the ground of the provincial capital will tremble, but they were ordered to meet a general, and the dissatisfaction in their hearts can be imagined.

Among them, Yun Yu and Yun 21, who are in charge of welcoming this time, are the most angry, they are the prince's son and phoenix grandson, and they actually came to do this kind of thing, Yinzhen made it clear that he buried them at will, but he couldn't help but do it, it was really hateful.

Hate to hate, what should be done still has to be done, in order to give Nian Qianyao the most solemn welcome, in such a day when water is as expensive as oil, Yinzhen ordered people to sprinkle water and clean the street.

The little officials in charge of sprinkling and sweeping, every spoonful of water splashed felt a pain in their flesh, although they were a little better than ordinary people, but they also had to calculate the use of water.

In the sound of welcoming music, Nian Qianyao, who was full of spirits, rode a high-headed horse from the Nine Gates, followed by Yue Zhongqi and other generals, and a prisoner cart at the end, and a person was locked inside, who else would there be besides Luo Buzang Danjin.

Today's rare cloudy day, with occasional cool breezes, the people who usually take shelter from the heat at home have come out and rushed to see the generals who have won the battle. After riding in, facing the hundred officials who congratulated him, Nian Qianyao had no intention of getting off the horse, but Yue Zhongqi walked down and saluted everyone.

Yun Yu was unhappy in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he arched his hand and said: "General Nian, congratulations on your great achievements this time, it is really gratifying." ”

"The ninth master is polite." Nian Qianyao arched his hand on horseback, and still looked arrogant in the face of Yun Yu, yes, Yun Yu is just a brother who cannot be trusted, but he is the emperor's favorite minister, and I believe that the two are more important than the other.
