Chapter 18: The Rising Tide (1)

"Yo, Uncle Sixteen, morning!"

The days passed day by day, in a blink of an eye it was the middle of summer in June, the weather was so hot that he panicked, and the slightest movement was a sweat, even so, Hongqing did not have the idea of skipping class, and entered the palace early in the morning, wandered up to the study, just turned the screen in front of the door, and saw that the old sixteen Yinlu, who had been absent from school for a long time, actually appeared in the study, and the excitement on his face, he couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't think much about it, walked forward quickly, and saluted with a smile.

"Yes, don't come to this set, if you don't play these false rituals, you'll die?"

Although the old sixteen people are small, their temperament is extraordinarily wild, and the most annoying thing is that Hongqing has a comprehensive ceremony, and when they saw Hongqing, it was a good gift when they met, and they immediately rolled their eyes, and waved their hands angrily.

"Hey, Uncle Sixteen, we are familiar with each other, but the etiquette is indispensable, you must know that this is the study, if the little nephew behaves badly and is ginseng, it must not be played, didn't you see His Royal Highness the Prince all returned yesterday?"

Hongqing has been familiar with Yinlu these days, but whenever he is free, he is either bragging nonsense together, or running to the south of the city to dream of a great money dream, and the relationship is very harmonious, and when he talks, he is casual and tight.

"Prince? Hehe, he's afraid he's going to have a big trouble this time. ”

It's okay that Hongqing didn't mention the prince, but at this mention, Yinlu Ke came to his senses, his eyes were shining, he snapped his fingers and laughed gloatingly.

"Huh? Where did Uncle Sixteen start with this? ”

As soon as he heard Yinlu say this, Hongqing's heart jumped suddenly, and he had vaguely guessed the root, but he didn't show it, but his eyes widened in a blank manner, and he asked suspiciously.

"Heh, you don't know this, it's spread in the palace, saying that Huang Ama has had enough of Suo Etu's arrogance, so he plans to take down the dog minion!"

Yinlu obviously enjoyed Hongqing's surprised expression, snapped his fingers smugly, and then pretended to look left and right a few times in a mysterious manner, and then told the truth with his eyebrows.

And that's where it begins? What a quick hand and foot!

Suo Etu's unlucky thing was deliberately leaked by Hongqing to the old fourteenth, he could expect that the eight masters who were unwilling to be lonely would make some moves, and for this reason, they also made a lot of contingency plans early, but for the eight masters to be able to provoke the turmoil so quickly, they still couldn't help but be a little frightened - you must know that the prince returned at noon yesterday, and it was only less than half a day, and the palace was already full of rumors, which shows how powerful the hidden power of the eighth master side is, which is for Hongqing, who wants to profit from the chaos, It's not good news.

"Hey, Brother Qing, why are you stunned, stupid?"

Hongqing's brain teaser turned for a while, and he couldn't help but think about it, and he didn't say a word for a long time, Yinlu saw this, he was the boss's impatience, and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of Hongqing's eyes, and his mouth was even more babbling.

"Sixteenth uncle, the little nephew has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?"

Although he was a little worried about the current situation, this was obviously not the time to think deeply, and after being made such a fuss by Yinlu, Hongqing woke up from his contemplation, put his mind aside for the time being, and opened his mouth with a solemn expression.

"Yes, Brother Qing, you just sell less Xuanxuan, who is with whom, let's talk about it directly."

Seeing that Hongqing's expression was wrong, Yinlu couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly recovered his nature, waved his hand with a big grin, and responded with pride.

"If we are not the ones who can intervene in the affairs of the government, the rumors can be heard or not believed, and it is best to forget it."

The old sixteen was carefully selected by Hongqing and prepared to be trained as a top thug, so he didn't want to see him get involved in the battle of the adult brothers early, besides, this place is in the study, don't look at the two little brothers in the study at this time, but I don't know how many eyes and ears are staring at it outside, and if the words are slightly negligent, it will be a disaster, in view of this, Hongqing will speak very seriously.

"It's a big deal, this thing is ......, okay, okay, count me wrong, yes, look like a little old man all day long, don't you bother."

Lao Sixteen is a bold character, he really didn't take Hongqing's words to heart, he grinned, and the words were about to be sprayed outward, but when he saw Hongqing's face sank, his heart couldn't help but be empty, not for anything else, just because of the friendship for more than half a year, the old sixteen really admired Hongqing's ability, and even faintly feared this nephew who was only half a year younger than himself, but when it came to why he was afraid, Yinlu really couldn't say why, and when he was in an unhappy mood, he was reluctant to answer.

"Ahem, ahem."

As soon as he heard Lao Sixteen give himself a "little old man" evaluation, Hongqing really couldn't cry or laugh, and just wanted to sneer at each other, but was interrupted by two fake coughs, and when he looked back, he found that March had appeared in the room at some point.

"I've seen Mr. Fucha."

Although it was strange that March appeared again, Hongqing did not show it, but bowed respectfully.

"Sit, sit, hehe, Liang Hanlin has something to do today, he took a leave, the old man was entrusted by others, so he had to do it reluctantly, wouldn't the two of you be unwelcome?"

Ma Qi nodded with a smile, which was considered to be a return salute, and then while explaining, he put the chessboard and chess box in his hand on Hongqing's table, dragged a chair, lifted the hem of his robe, sat down, and put on a posture of preparing for war.

Gotcha, this old man, what kind of substitute are you doing, aren't you just a chess addict.

Hongqing's mind was very smart, just looking at March's impatient appearance, he had already guessed a rough idea, but he didn't say anything, Hongqing was thinking about having a good relationship with March, and at this time he sent it to the door by himself, and he didn't wait for a while, so he smiled indifferently and didn't say much, just made a gesture of "please".

"Smack!"

Ma Qi chess addiction together, since there will be no polite words, pick up a white, heavy on the chessboard, it is a start, Hongqing smiled, picked up a sunspot casually, answered a hand, an old and a young so silently fought, not long after, the chessboard is already full of smoke, so lively......

"Bang dang!"

In a crisp sound, the Song porcelain vase in the study of Yuqing Palace was broken again, this is Song porcelain, take out one at will, on the market, let alone exchange it for three or five thousand taels of silver, but now it has been broken two pairs, and the eunuchs and eunuchs who are standing in the study don't even dare to say a word, not for anything else, just because the crazy loser there is the owner of Yuqing Palace, the current prince Yinren!

Yinren's mood was originally very good - as a prince, it seems to be extremely honorable, but in fact it is a caged bird, it is rare to have a chance to go out of the palace to play, it is rare to have a small illness in Texas, not only to get rid of the cumbersome errands of the old man Kangxi, but also to get a casual leisure, and to play crazy in Texas for a while, not to mention, this way back to Beijing is to go all the way to play, and the pleasure is extremely happy, but when I wake up, everything has changed the taste, and the rumors raging in the palace have stirred up Yinren's good mood into a mess.

Suo Etu is not an ordinary person, but a dignified uncle of the country, and the chief Zaifu who has been in power for more than 30 years, but this is not the point, the point is that Suo Etu is Yinren's most important reliance, if he falls, Yinren's originally faintly unstable East Palace position will immediately be in a precarious position, because of this, the rumors flying in the palace are really the sword of the heart for Yinren, but everyone can't help it, even though Yinren has drunk the order to kill several eunuchs and palace maids who spread rumors in the East Palace, It can be regarded as barely stopping the turmoil in the East Palace, but for the forbidden place, Yinren is beyond the reach of the whip, seeing the rumors getting more and more intense, Yinren is already angry to the extreme, even if he smashes more than a dozen furnishings in the study, he can't calm the monstrous anger in his heart.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, Suo Xiang has arrived."

Just as Yinren picked up the jade pen holder on the copywriting and was about to throw it on the ground, a little eunuch hurriedly walked in from outside, and said with a low brow.

"Xuan, Xuan!"

As soon as he heard that Suo Etu had arrived, the anger in Yinren's heart immediately calmed down a little, but the impatience was not less, and he threw the pen holder to the copy, stomped his feet, and roared.

"Wow!"

On the occasion of Yinren's rage, the little eunuch who came to Tongyu naturally did not dare to delay a little, and hurriedly responded, trotted out of the study, and without turning his heels, he had already accompanied the famous tall and strong white-haired old man from outside to turn back, this old man was Suo Etu, a scholar of the Baohe Palace and the minister of the guard.

"Suo Xiang, you can be regarded as coming, alas, now that rumors are spreading, the heart of this palace is in turmoil, what should it be?"

Yinren was anxious, this time when he saw Suo Etu coming, he didn't wait for Suo Etu to salute, walked a few steps, grabbed the front, and shouted anxiously.

"Your Highness, don't worry, a little rumor, it's not a matter of worry."

Looking at Yinren's panicked face, Suo Etu couldn't help but roll through a burst of disappointment in his heart - Suo Etu had already pinned all his net worth and life on Yinren's body, in order to be able to support Yinren, he didn't know how much energy and effort he spent, but even so, Yinren still couldn't really grow up, those calm and keen on weekdays are just appearances, this encounter is a big event, it has become like this, it is really embarrassing, of course, disappointment is disappointment, Suo Etu did not bring it to his face, just replied with a flat face.

"Rumors? Suo Xiang, I'm afraid this is not as simple as rumors, there must be something strange in it, there must be a villain in secret, under the crowd, the consequences are unpredictable. ”

Yinren is not stupid by nature, not only is he not stupid, but he can even be said to be an extremely intelligent person, so he can see the strangeness hidden behind the rumors, and it is precisely because he can see the crisis that Yinren will panic, and this fear cannot be eliminated by Suo Etu's simple words of comfort.

"Hmm."

Suo Etu has been able to dominate the government for decades, naturally he is not a mediocre person, Yinren can see the strangeness, how can he hide his calculations, but Suo Etu doesn't seem to want to say more, just sullenly, with a look of wanting to say and stopping......
