Among these elder brothers, only the fourteenth elder brother Yin knew in his heart that the tenth elder brother was deliberately making a big fuss tonight. As soon as he came back from the Mulan paddock, he went to visit the ninth elder brother Yinyu, and the Jinghua situation was already vivid, but he waited quietly for this good show. Yinyinxiang is a person of the same age, the same Ren Xia is bold, the same soldier is good at martial arts, and even the appearance is quite similar, but he and Yinzhen are the same mother, and they are all from Concubine Wu Ya's family. But in the Qing Dynasty prince system, no matter how much the elder brother is a concubine, the arc falls to the ground, the nanny will be taken out and handed over to the nurse, each with eight nannies, eight nurses, and the so-called needlework people, pulp washing people, lamp people, pot stove people, once to the milk, and add eight eunuchs who have read books, called "knowing", teaching language, teaching steps, teaching etiquette, gestures and looking forward to all according to the rules. Yabu is calm and demeanor, and he is not subject to his parents, and the brothers only give in to each other. Therefore, whether it is father and son, mother and son, or brother, the joy of flesh and blood family is indescribable. When Yinzhen was born, she died because of the birth of Empress Xiaocheng, and she was exceptionally hugged into Zhongcui Palace to comfort the desolation of the queen's knees. For this matter, the rest of the elder brothers were jealous, and they accumulated over time in Yin's ears, and I don't know how many cool words they provoked. Therefore, Yin Zhen and Yinzhen have been fighting hotly since he was a child, and his brother Yinzhen has nothing to do with it.

At this moment, he looked at the calm Yinzhen and the smiling Yinxiang with blazing eyes, and while greeting and kowtowing, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and suddenly heard everyone shout, "Long live!" Then he prostrated and the mountain shouted, "Long live!" ”

"That's it." Kangxi smiled cutely, raised his hands weakly, and said, "Today is a family feast, everyone is happy, there is no need to be formal." In previous years, this time was to give a feast to the ministers, they enjoyed the grace of the king, but they were not allowed to reunite with their families, this year it has changed, the banquet is given during the day, and they go back at night, each has their own pleasure, and Yinxi thinks about it thoroughly. After that, he changed his clothes, changed the velvet gauze crown, and put on a stone blue silk cotton gold dragon coat on top of the sauce-colored river silk jacket, tied a gold head cord around his waist, and walked slowly to the moon worship platform in front of the imperial pavilion with green satin cool soap boots.

At this moment, the wind is refreshing, and the moon in the clear sky is bright, and the light like mercury is softly sprinkled. The cigarette smoke is swirling on the moon worship platform, and there are furnaces, mirrors, tripods, cymbals, red tiger material beads, glass bowls, golden dragon oil lamps on the table, and there are golden wheels, silver wheels, porcelain wheels, silver horses, silver elephants, silver fish, silver snails, silver generals, silver men, silver women, silver cups, silver pots, silver umbrellas and other magic objects listed next to it. Kangxi waved his hand into the silver basin, his expression became extremely solemn, he silently shook his head to the ground, looked at Haotian Haiyue quietly with his back up, and muttered a prayer: "Prime Minister Heshan Chen Aixin Jueluo Xuanye Xun Mu plays to heaven: Mrs. is born in the world, it is easy to achieve, but it is difficult to succeed; It is easy to succeed, but it is difficult to achieve success, and those who are good at the beginning must be cautious in the end. This is what Xuan Ye has in his heart: there has been no perfect person since ancient times, and the minister is willing to reduce his life expectancy to seek a perfect person, but God will silently observe and protect you! Because it was very close, Yinzhen heard it clearly, remembering that his father had worked hard all his life to create a foundation with a knife and a gun, and he had worked tirelessly to seek treatment, and he had become the lord of the ancient generation, and he was willing to reduce his life expectancy in order to seek his full name, and he couldn't help but be stupid. While pondering, Kangxi turned around and smiled: "It's time to worship the moon, everyone is free to enter the table to admire the moon." A prince under the age of seven can sit with his mother - take care of it, don't go too much, and beware of hurting the spleen and stomach. ”

The feast had been prepared, and there were thirty tables in all. Scattered scattered next to the rockery, on the side of the water pavilion, a table of delicacies stacked high. Kangxi's table is placed under the moon altar, and there is a five-blessing plate in the middle, with duck silk bird's nest Ruyi, duck smoked cabbage, five-spice roasted roe deer meat plate, osmanthus soup, lamb tripe slices, a color of enamel plates and dim sum all around, what osmanthus sugar filled moon cakes, elephant eye small steamed buns, dumplings, peaches, watermelons, cantaloupes, grapes, apples, lychees...... I don't have time to go into details. Kangxi said to Yinren with a smile: "It's difficult for you to clean up the deficit this time, the mission is done well, unlike the usual forward-looking and backward weakness, I feel very useful." You are the crown prince, sit and talk with me. Because he saw Oro Dai coming in, he said: "Tell the imperial dining room to set up four tables at the gate of the garden as it is here, and you will accompany Wudan to have fun - carry a table of noodles to Yuqing Palace, and reward the princess Shi and the prince's sons!" After that, everyone took the food and ate. Under the clear moonlight in the garden, he smelled the slight sound of the cups and plates, but he didn't hear a laugh. Kangxi knew that it was because he was alone, so he smiled again: "If I knew this, it would be better to eat and drink with the courtiers!" Which has a joke? It's funny and rewarded! ”

"My son deserves to do it." Yinren took the lead in bowing and standing up, but he had always been gentle and elegant, and he was not good at this, and he thought for a long time before he said: "I heard one from someone before, but it is a fact in this dynasty. When Xu Qiuren, who was dismissed last year, was in office, a person surnamed Wang killed someone surnamed Yin. When the prisoner got it, Xu Qiuren pointed to the case surnamed Wang and scolded: "Husband and wife are carried together in the three outlines." People are good husbands and wives, why do you dare to break up and ask other people's mothers-in-law and aunts to be widowed? Now I will sentence Yin's wife to you, so that your mother-in-law can also taste the taste of widowhood! As he spoke, he glanced at Zheng Chunhua in the concubine team, and Zheng Chunhua hurriedly turned his face away and talked to Chen.

Kangxi was stunned for a while and came back to his senses, and couldn't help laughing: "This person was recommended by Mingzhu, but I didn't expect to have this talent!" Wonderful sentence, this joke is good - take the bamboo fan of the Xiangfei I wrote to reward the prince! The next seated Yinyu is Mingzhu's nephew. Mingzhu has been in power for more than 20 years, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, because of the opposition with the prince, he has already been dismissed, and when he saw the prince say this joke, he couldn't help but be angry: everyone is dead, and he refuses to let go! …… Because he got up and said with a smile: "People say that chickens have five virtues, and there is a Persian cat in my house, and there are also five virtues: don't catch rats when you see them, and you are benevolent!" The rat grabs the fish in the plate, and can share and eat it, and righteousness; The banquet guests have a grand meal, and they will come when they hear the wind, and the ceremony will also be good; No matter how closely the delicious things are hidden, they can be stolen, and they can be stolen; Every winter is cold, you must first occupy the smoke cage to keep warm, and the letter is also ...... "Before the words are finished, everyone is already laughing."

"Erchen also get one." Yin Yu was at the fourth table, and he had already heard the two attacking each other, so he had the heart to tease, because he got up and smiled, "Su Dongpo's son is the stupidest by nature, because of the heavy snow that year, Dongpo's most clever little grandson refused to study because of naughtiness, so Su Dongpo ordered him to kneel in the snow and recite the "Persuasion of Learning". When the son saw this, he also knelt down. Dongpo asked, 'Why are you kneeling?' The silly boy said, 'You freeze my son, and I will freeze yours!' As soon as the words fell, everyone laughed, and the concubines at several tables covered their mouths with handkerchiefs, and Geerge smiled and leaned back with laughter, Kangxi smiled and stroked his chest and said: "Lao Jiu Suri is silent, it's hard for him to say it well, reward him with a piece of Song paper!" ”

Yinxi couldn't help but smile, and was searching for the belly to say one, but when he saw Yinda walking into the garden, his heart couldn't help but sink suddenly, and when he was busy greeting, Kangxi had already seen it, and asked with a smile: "Where did you go to drill sand?" Lazy and unorthodox! Punish you for a joke! ”

"Yes!" Yin is straightforward, does not hide his scheming, is quite loved by Kangxi, has always been arrogant, and when he got to the third table, he smiled and said: "But it's indecent." The year before last, I was ordered by Lafayette to give grain to Shanxi and went to Yongji to see the Pufu Temple. But there is a bad custom there, shit and rub the butt without paper, all use the straw to make a stick, the beautiful name is called 'toilet chip'-" Speaking of this, everyone was already stunned, but listened to Yin and said: "-My son thinks, others are just that, Zhang Sheng Cui Yingying West Chamber meeting, that Cui Yingying fell into the country and the city, the face of the shy flower and the moon, use this toy to rub the buttocks, is it clean?" ……”

Everyone listened in amazement at first, but now they all raised their eyebrows and shook their heads, pouting their lips and baring their teeth. Kangxi frowned and smiled: "Spoil the scenery!" Are you still telling everyone to eat? Punish you with a glass! Yin drank a full cup in one gulp, and said with a hippie smile: "Yes...... Sure enough, it's not good! There is another one--a water thief, who robbed a merchant ship, but unexpectedly opened the warehouse, and it was full of incense and candles. There is nowhere to store this thing, and it is very cheap to sell it, and it is a pity to throw it away. So everyone discussed: 'Let's do a business with no capital, and the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, all counting on God's blessing, it is better to burn his mother, which is also considered merit.' Then a flame burst into flames, and the fragrance was nine times greater. The Jade Emperor sniffed and asked, 'Who has made such great merit?' He replied, "I didn't see anything else, but I saw a few poor people crying there, and a gang of old robbers were there to the fire!" ’”

Everyone can hear it, it's not a joke at all. Kangxi's face suddenly became gloomy, and he slowly lowered his wine glass. All the elder brothers who had borrowed the silver were moved, and they glanced at Yinxiang, who was flying and domineering for a while, and made hundreds of officials fly and dogs jump. Yinxiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and also got up and said with a smile: "My son also said something about a boat - last year when I crossed Wuhu, Wuhu Dao Lei Yong went to see my son, and I asked him: 'You Dao came by boat?' Where is the ship? He said: 'The boat is in the river.' The son was angry and amused, and said, 'What a straw bale!' Unexpectedly, he replied, "Go back to the thirteenth master, the straw bale is in the boat!" Yin's nickname "Ten Grass Bags" is known to everyone, so when this joke was said, no one dared to laugh, only Kangxi laughed so much that he "sprayed" a sip of wine and spit it out, and at a glance Yin's face was so white that he stopped laughing, and only looked at the two brothers without moving. At this moment, five or six hundred people in the imperial garden have already held their breath, and everyone has a premonition that something is going to happen tonight, so they stopped their cups and pans, and looked at Yinyinxiang who was like a cockfight in panic. Yinren knew that the two younger brothers were going to poke the hornet's nest, and glanced at Kangxi in a panic, and wanted to get up to persuade but didn't dare, so he only gave Yinzhen a desperate look, suggesting that he would persuade Yinxiang, but Yinzhen was watching the development of the situation with all his attention, and he didn't notice it at all.

"Old Thirteen!" Yin couldn't hold it back in the end, knocked on the cup and smiled, "The straw bale story you told just now, except for the Long Live Lord, we didn't laugh, we should punish you with three cups!" Yinxiang smiled and held the pot, paced to Yin's side in full view, and said: "Long live Lord smiled, that is, I have done my filial piety, even if other people cry, what does it have to do with me?" Since Brother Ten has said this, I also think of Brother Ten's incense boat. I don't know what dynasty and generation this matter came from? Whose ship was robbed, and did the robbers take it? "You ask this?" Yin sneered: "Originally, it was an ancient record, there is no dynasty to tell, no years to test, about who has this robber heart, it is inevitable that he will be suspicious." I know who called the robbery - long live the lord just asked why it was late, and I didn't dare to reply. For fear that under the big festival, it swept away the dignity of the heavenly family. Don't hide it from you, the brother in charge, my house was robbed, the walls are like washing, your sister-in-law and your nephew are all poor people, crying there. I went out to borrow a clean dress and came in, and I had to laugh and listen to others scold the mulberry tree, brother, do you think it is difficult for me? ”

Yinxiang suddenly said: "Oh-no wonder Brother Ten is late, it turns out that he borrowed pants!" Yin saw that Kangxi listened attentively, and became more and more arrogant, because he shouted: "Brother is so clever, you don't need to hammer a drum to sound." If you have to tell me thoroughly, I'll say: You and Shi Shilun, that ugly bastard, are robbers! I have already practiced Lao Shi yesterday, and I must have offended you not shallow-I'm afraid that my head will fall off with such a big scar! He compared a circle with his hand, smiled and said: "I'm not elegant and tame, very much like a king ba**, I'm really sorry, we're a rough man." ”

Only then did Kangxi know what was going on, and he cleaned up the deficit to the point where the prince was selling! His mind was spinning rapidly: Why is Lao Ten here? Didn't you discuss it with the eighth child, and take the opportunity to make trouble tonight, to see how good Yinren is doing? When he glanced at Yinxi, Yinxi was so anxious that his face turned yellow, but he just frowned and sighed, and he didn't feel like ...... Just as he was annoyed that the prince didn't say a word, Yin Zhen at the second table spoke loudly: "Thirteenth brother, you come here and sit!" He has two or five eyes, what do you care about him? ”

"You're three-eyed!" Yin was furious and yelled at Yin Zhen, "Catch ants and boil oil, scrape paint on bed bug skin, as long as the money is not afraid of cold!" If you don't believe me, go to my house and see, they're crying! Before the words fell, Yin Zhen took a bite back: "Who knows whether to cry or howl?" Even if you really cry, the predecessors have something to say: if a family cries, how can it cry all the way? Yinxiang said: "It's what the fourth brother said - crying with tears, crying without tears, crying without tears, howling without tears, who knows ...... you"

Yinxiang was very relieved, and before he could finish his explanation, he made a "snap", and Yin's cheek was already slapped with a crisp slap: "Which way are you a fairy?" **Seeds under the material! I know how to follow the fourth brother of the prince and slap the sycophants and lick the buttocks......" He spat and was saying, Yinxiang slapped back with a leaky slap, and the two brothers suddenly twisted in front of the table.

"It's a fight!" Everyone stood up, and suddenly the Imperial Garden was in chaos. Wu Dan Oro Dai and other guards heard it outside, and rushed in to escort the car, seeing that it was this kind of scene, they couldn't help but be stunned, and when they wanted to step forward, Kangxi didn't speak, so he had to stand aside. The prince withdrew and pricked his hands to stop, but he had no strength, who would listen to him at this time? Yinyu pretended to be a big brother and shouted; Yinzhi dusted off his clothes and waved a fan, persuading this to say that; Yinqi Yinzuo has always been honest, shaking his lips and looking around in panic at a loss; Yinxi froze at the moment, waved a fan and tasted tea and was silent; Yinyu Yin helped Yin push and push. Some of the rest of the princes helped fight the Taiping Fist, some were pale and dumbfounded, and some said some inexplicable cool words:

"Look!"

"Why bother!"

"Nonsense!"

"Alas...... Mess around! ”

Yinqi Yinyi and others were young and chong, and they had already been protected by the nurses, and they were so frightened that they grinned and cried...... For a time, the people in the Imperial Garden were like ants in a hot pot, and the sound was like boiling water, noisy and chaotic.

"Stop!" Kangxi suddenly roared, "Let the two little beasts fight, fight alive, fight to the death!" ”

He finally couldn't hold it back, there were many sons, and people had different temperaments, Kangxi Yuan also knew that there were disagreements between them, and he thought that some would be credited, and some would not accept each other. Unexpectedly, it is a matter of national policy, and the ice and charcoal cannot be in the same furnace! Kangxi was so angry that no one of the princes was afraid, their faces were red and uncertain, and Nuo Nuo retreated repeatedly. Yin Yinxiang got up covered in dust, and his face was black and purple. Yinxiang took a bite and turned his face, Yinxiang raised his eyes, and felt that all of them were outsiders except Yinzhen, twisted his face and twitched a few times and howled loudly, and complained on the ground: "My son is rude, and he is down with Amma." I just want to live long live and give justice to my son in front of everyone today...... Explain whether the son's mother is lewd or not...... Cheap ......"

The reason for this is that it is difficult to explain even a car of words[1]

, but tonight it was clear that Yin had the intention to make trouble, and he started beating people first. Kangxi was stunned for a moment and said, "You get up!" Your mother, Ah Xiu, is the princess of Tushetu Khan, and her status is noble. Just because of the fate of the Huagai, there are many disasters and diseases, I specially allow me to give up my life and become a monk, and don't listen to the villains fart - I will give your mother's name: Jin Fengzhang Jia is the concubine of Emperor Jingmin! - Yin, I don't ask you first, you waste your studies and float all day long. I don't bother to ask about your borrowing of silver, or about insulting your courtiers, but why are you acting so shamelessly and presumptuously tonight, have you lived enough? ”

"It's not that my son has lived enough," Yin Zai had already discussed with Yin Yinyu, and figured out Kangxi's temperament: the harder he is, the more he appreciates. Because he took a bite back: "It's someone who wants to force his son to death!" You always know that since they cleaned up the deficit, twenty-three court officials died, and the son didn't want to be the twenty-fourth! The original intention is to clean up with the fourth brother, why does the old thirteen shoot people with a bow? The shell Lang drilled the yarn hat, and filled the old black bag hard - long live, don't stare at me, even if you die, you have to finish the words - like this, with the brothers slaughtered one by one, making the clan nobles and relatives feel like pins and needles, which time has it been? The third brother's silver is out of Banzai, and the rest of the brothers are not poor, so what good mood do they have to tell jokes with Ama for fun? Speaking of this, I don't know which sentence touched my heart, and two strings of tears flowed down my cheeks.

Kangxi originally knew that because of Yinren Yinzhen's support, the thirteenth elder brother would inevitably offend people when he did practical things in the household department, and he didn't expect to get the prince pawn seller. I couldn't help but sink in my heart. While thinking about it, Yinzhen got up and said indifferently: "Old ten, do you think Yinxiang leaves no room, do you leave room?" Shi Shilun is an official with a bowl of water to the end, you humiliate him so much in front of thousands of people! Are you still asking us to do things? Because Jiang Yin said in detail yesterday in the Dalang Temple: "Shi Shilun saw me crying last night, and he was in a hurry to celebrate the festival, I was afraid that the master would be uncomfortable and angry when he knew, and he didn't hear about it - such loyalty, why should we practice him as elder brothers?" ”

"Lao Ten is confused." Yin Yu pondered for a long time, and felt that he couldn't help Yin Ding with this hard nail, because he said, "But there is a reason for the incident, and Shi Shilun is also wrong, knowing that Yin is in the Dalang Temple, he just added fuel to the fire and sifted the big gong from there." Anyway, you should avoid it. Yin Zhen said with a smile: "If the slaves in the old ten mansions don't stop the sedan chair and scold the street, Shi Shilun will dare to take people recklessly?" "It's up to the owner to beat the dog!" Yin Yu sneered, "Shi Shilun is a Han after all, if no one indulges him, he dares to show his teeth and claws like that?" ”

Yinxiang's face turned white with anger, and he shouted back: "Shi Shilun is the first official in the world!" Hooray the words! It is the will of Banzai to clear the deficit, and the money collected goes to the treasury! Joke - what kind of Manchu Han people are talking about this? Brother Jiu, you went to Shandong for disaster relief, and the officials under your command were all full? For a while, the brothers were gossiping about their own words, with red faces and swords, and it was another lively scene.

"Shut up!" Kangxi snorted. After weighing it again and again, he quickly came to his senses: at this moment, as long as he has a little sympathy for Yin, the news will spread faster than the wind, and it will be known to the court within three days, and the messengers of Yinren Yinzhen and Yinxiang will be even more difficult to do, so he paced to Yin's side, stared at it fiercely, and said: "Killing people to pay off debts and paying off debts has been reasonable since ancient times!" You brute is likened to a robber! I know that you are not convinced that the fourth and thirteenth elders have done too many messengers, so you go back and ask yourself, do I not send you envoys, or do you not want to? In the forty-fourth year of Kangxi, I said that I asked the boss and the eighth and ninth to take charge of the household department, and you are all 'sick'? The bones of the body are expensive! What a messenger, the bright-eyed messenger made you rob, and the drudgery was pushed to them, and they did it seriously, and you were red-eyed, thinking that I didn't know? ”

Yinzhen Yinxiang almost fell into tears when he said these words, in fact, even they themselves had never thought so thoroughly and considerately. The rest of the brothers thought about it, so they all lowered their heads and didn't squeak. Kangxi said again: "The prince and Yinzhen Yinyin are as solid as they do not avoid resentment, they are the auspicious country, why do you just let them go?" Yin, you are arrogant and arrogant, and there is no one in your eyes who is unlearned, and I pity you for being rough and ignoring. I simply didn't even let go of my eyes today, making a big fuss in the imperial garden, unscrupulous to this extreme-this is forgivable, only Shi Shilun is the minister of the pillar of the court, you dare to insult wantonly in broad daylight, haven't you heard of a soldier can be killed but not humiliated? Come! ”

"The minions are here!"

Li Dequan's face was scorched, his heart was beating wildly, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Long live ......"

"Take Yin to the Zongren Mansion." Kangxi gritted his teeth and said, "The Prudent Criminal Division will punish him with ten canes and be imprisoned for three days!" ”

Li Dequan hurriedly agreed, trembling his legs and hitting a thousand children in front of Yin, and said in a trembling voice: "Tenth Master...... Please ......" "I haven't thanked you yet!" Yin Tie said with a blue face, came over and landed on his knees, stared at Yin Xiang viciously, kowtowed and said, "My son has been roded!" After saying that, he got up and walked away, making Kangxi so angry that he stood in a daze, and after a while, he called Wu Dan and said: "I wanted to eat wine for a while tonight, and asked you to come in and dance the sword under the moon, but it was a disappointment." Didn't Mu Zixu come to Beijing? Ming'er asked him to hand over the sign, and you guys came in to accompany me......" He sighed, waved his hand and said, "Let's disperse." ”
