Chapter 60: The Eight Parties Are Wounded, and the Nine Meritorious Persons Are Convicted
Early the next morning. I just woke up. Lan Yue knocked on the 'door': "Gege. The Ninth Master is here."
"Let him wait in the small hall downstairs."
I hurriedly changed my clothes. Let Lan Yue bring water to wash her face. Lan Yue wants to comb my hair. I grabbed a headband and tied it casually: "No need. So be it."
Hurried downstairs. The Ninth Master is sitting in the small hall. See I'm coming. smiled and said, "I don't comb my hair either. Where do you have the appearance of a princess Gulun?"
I sat down with a smile. Tell Lan Yue to boil 'milk' tea. said to the ninth master: "The ninth brother is watching. There are more 'spirits' than I thought. Something like this happened to the eighth master. I thought the Ninth Master would be very busy."
The ninth master smiled: "What are you pretending to be stupid. Don't you know why I'm so good?"
My little deer Meng Meng suddenly ran in on the snow outside and threw herself into my arms. I put my arms around its neck. Smiled and patted its head: "Don't make trouble."
When I looked up, I said to the Ninth Master again, "The Ninth Brother already knows what happened."
"I knew it from the beginning."
I shook my head: "I'm still a ruthless person when I think of her. I didn't expect that Brother Jiu knew it but didn't stop it. It turns out that Brother Jiu is the most ruthless one."
The Ninth Master smiled indifferently: "Such an interesting thing. What to do in the way. I didn't have time to watch the play. Don't you want to disturb your own Yaxing?"
"Brother Jiu is happy though. But it all seems to be in your expectation. You're just happy. Is this finally happening?"
The ninth master raised his eyebrows: "You girl. Always too smart. How did you guess my mind? Oops. The thoughts of the 'woman'. I already knew. But so what. Why should I stop it? What's in it for me. But she's really capable. It was kind of a surprise to me. I thought she had been fasting and chanting Buddha all these years. I can grow a little bit of compassion." The Ninth Master was sarcastic. I also listened to it with a smile.
It seems that we don't have a good impression of Concubine De: "I wonder where she came from. Let these people work for her."
"Can't you guess that? Left is just those tricks. Money or family. That's not it." The Ninth Master shook his head.
I laughed: "Brother Jiu thinks this is very boring. Then we might as well talk. Eight masters and one party. What's next?"
The Ninth Master laughed loudly: "You girl. Pretending to be stupid and stunned first." Gently patted my head: "Don't you know. What will happen to them."
"I'm just curious. Will the Eighth Master choose you or the Fourteenth Master to be a puppet?" The eighth master was hit hard by this. It is impossible to fight for the throne again. But where is he willing to easily admit defeat. Not to mention that there are so many officials behind him. They will definitely find another prince who already belongs to the Eight Masters. Continue the struggle for imperial power. Defend your own interests.
The ninth master smiled: "The mind of the eighth child. Don't you understand. He will surely choose Fourteen. Fourteen are kinder. It's better for him too. I don't want to fight at all, though. But he'll still be worried. If I'm really in power. Will they kill him?"
I shook my head helplessly. The eighth master seems to be between and anyone. There is nothing real about it. And everyone has to think about those interests. Take advantage of it. It's so tiring to live.
Lan Yue brought the 'milk' tea. I was drinking tea with the Ninth Master. The ninth master smiled: "You girl. I've been having a 'pretty good time' lately."
I nodded, "Indeed. These two years. I'm really comfortable. Nothing else. Every day, I went to the palace to say hello to the imperial grandmother. Then he reads books, learns calligraphy, practices the piano, and raises deer in the house. I'm starting to wonder. How can I live so comfortably."
The ninth master drank tea and smiled: "I can be comfortable for a day. It's a day. Drink tea so quietly. Look at the snow. Raising deer. Isn't it 'pretty good'?"
"The Ninth Master doesn't have a peaceful birthday for the time being. Something so big. I'm afraid I'm going to be busy for a while."
"There's really nothing to live on. But. I'll just follow along and see the excitement. Something to keep them busy. I'll just take a look. Don't speak."
"Hahaha~"
Between me and the Ninth Master. Always saying things that no one else seems to understand. Can be such small talk. It's a treat for him and for me. Don't shy away from it. No need to calculate. He understands my side knocks. I understand his sarcasm.
How to say it. The longer the days go. The more I feel that I am with the ninth master. What a pair of confidants.
And after the Killing Eagle incident. This day is for me. Peace was restored again. I watched quietly. Live in peace. The struggle for imperial power intensified.
The party of the eighth master really pulled the fourteenth master out to continue the fight. The fourteenth master also lived up to expectations. soon became Kangxi's favorite prince now. We have to see each other almost every day. All the expenses in the Fourteenth Master's Mansion are also 'handed over' to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
However. By October of the fifty-fourth year of Kangxi. It's calm. It seems to be broken again.
Originally, Zhao Shenqiao's son Zhao Fengzhao was reported for embezzlement and bribery of 300,000 taels. I didn't react. But in November. The waste prince writes in alum water. Ask Pucci to make him a general. After the incident. Pucci was convicted.
I'm listening to these. sighed: "Can't Yinren live in peace? It's annoying......"
But they didn't bother me. I frowned: "What's wrong. I don't speak."
"There's something. I don't know what to tell you."
"Say it."
"The chief Liang in the palace. was also implicated. Already convicted...... Now he has been sent to the cold palace and imprisoned......"
"What did you say?" I never thought about it. Liang Jiugong's ending will be like this. I questioned myself. Why didn't you know how everything would turn out like this. Why......
Liang Jiugong to me. is superb. He treated me like a loving elder. Even though I had a mess with Kangxi. But he was still cautious about how to get the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send me the best things. The freshest tea. New tribute goes up with silk and satin. The best beads 'flowers', jewelry. My everything. It's better than any princess or lady in the palace.
But he ...... served Kangxi all his life. Is this the end of the story? I waved them all away. Barely slept for a while. I entered the palace early. Two years have passed. The first time I walked into the Qianqing Palace. Xiao Shunzi went to talk back to Kangxi. Then I pushed open the 'door' and let me into the imperial study.
"Long live my emperor, long live."
"Get up." Kangxi Ye glanced at me: "How do you think of it today. I'm here."
I'm on my knees. Didn't stand up. Instead, he kowtowed heavily: "Your Majesty. Please allow Ji Ya to visit Liang Jiugong and Liang Anda."
Kangxi Ye didn't speak for a while: "You're going to see him. He is now nothing more than an imprisoned old eunuch. You're going to see him."
Liang Anda. He's a good guy...... He treated me. It's like a loving elder. At all costs. Please allow Jiya to visit. Not for anything else. At least he has served the emperor for most of his life."
Kangxi Ye frowned. It seems to be recalling something. After a long time. He sighed, "That's it. Go ahead. This morning, people have been escorted to Jingshan to be locked up. Let Xiao Shunzi pass the message. You're holding the gold medal. You can go anytime."
"Emperor Jiyaxie, Longen." I kowtowed heavily. Then get up and leave.
The little straight goes fast in front. Me in a small sedan chair. I feel uneasy. I lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and asked, "Have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare?" Liang Anda likes to eat. Do you have all the clothes for the winter?"
Xiao Shunzi nodded: "It's all ready. Rest assured, princess." I nodded uneasily. Continue to bump in the small sedan chair.
It's finally here. I had everyone else waiting outside. I only let Junko accompany me in. The huts at the foot of this mountain are in tatters. Walking in and leaking. The eunuch who was guarding was drinking inside. I saw someone coming. He shouted haughtily, "Is this where you should be. ."
I gave the little Shunzi a look, and he put things down. Walked over and slapped a big slap. Scolded: "What are you two like? This is the princess of Gulun who was personally crowned by the emperor. At the emperor's behest to see Liang's father-in-law. Who dares to be rude."
The two eunuchs covered their faces and looked at the gold medal in my hand. Trembling, he lay on the ground and shouted, "The princess forgives her sins. O princess forgive your sins."
"Little Junko. They are too noisy. Throw it out. It's too cold in the house. Go light the brazier. Leaky windows. Go and get someone to get the window paper back now."
Xiao Shunzi pulled the guard's key and opened the 'door' that closed the fence of Liang Jiugong, and then took the order to leave. I walked in with thick clothes and a food box with food and drinks.
Liang Jiugong old tears. Lying on the ground. Kowtowed: "Gege. How could you come to such a place? This place is dirty and broken. It's a cold day. What can you do if you're cold?"
I opened the thick cloak I had prepared for him and put it on him. Help him up and sit down: "Anda, get up. Don't make such a big salute with me. I'm dressed thickly. It's not in the way. Xiao Shunzi came back with the brazier in a while. Rest assured. I'm not going to get cold."
I opened the food box. Take out the same kind of snacks and snacks from it. muttered: "I asked Xiao Shunzi to prepare a few things that Anda loves to eat. By this time. I really shouldn't feel like that. So many years. I don't even know what Anda likes to eat. I only know that Anda seems to like Saqima too. Oh. I also brought a bottle of wine from outside the palace. It's not a good old wine. But I made it myself. I think it tastes pretty good. I'll bring it to Anda to taste."
Liang Jiugong cried and fell to his knees: "Gege. You're a daughter. Don't come to a place like this for the sake of an old slave. Unlucky. The old slave is just a minion. It's not worth it."
I choked in my throat too: "Anda. Hurry up."
