Coming out of the Qixian Tower, Yinxiang seemed to have a serious illness and was soft. When the day came, he returned to the house. I asked for wine and poured it vigorously. Zigu didn't know what was going on, and when she called Zhao Fuxing to ask, Zhao Fuxing was also ignorant. Zigu hurriedly asked someone to cook the sobering wine soup and wait, and came to persuade: "Reasoning, the slave should not persuade the master." You have to take care of yourself! Wine, like women, is not a good thing. The master still has to make a pretense, in case someone is behind the master. Last time, the master came back and said that the tenth master had made a mistake after eating and drinking, and let the long-live master see it, wasn't he punished for kneeling for a long time? If you really want to call the master to hit this bad luck, the slaves and maids will not be interesting on their faces. ”

"Woman? Aren't you also a woman...... Belch...... People? Yinxiang said with a drink, "Don't you do it, go to the fairy building, are you jealous?" Don't worry, you won't be treated badly! It's just that you said that women are not a good thing, but this is now in the heart of the master...... Come on! Drink...... Have a drink! As he spoke, he handed over the wine, and when he saw Zigu dodging, he smiled again, "Actually, it's not just women who are bad, I know that men are not fucking good...... Great stuff! What is the prince of heaven and earth, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith? It was a saint who made up the world. What about the world? To make up lies, to lie! Tell...... Tell you! If you deceive someone and faint, he is a prince; If he is deceived and fainted, he is a thief! I've seen through it! ”

Seeing that he was about to vomit wine, Zigu hurriedly went around behind him and gently slapped him on the back. After beating for a while, his voice was a little choked: "Master, since you have seen through it, stay at home, don't go out to take care of things anymore!" What is the third master, the fourth master, the eighth master, the ninth master, the prince, and the emperor, their affairs are taken care of by themselves, and the master is so hot, what is the benefit in the end? "Good!" Yinxiang clapped his hands and smiled, "That's a good thing, I underestimated you!" Seeing Zhao Fuxing stretching out his head and retracting it again, he called out: "Xing'er! How dare you eavesdrop on your master's words! ”

"How dare a minion?" Zhao Fuxing hurriedly came out and said with a smile, "Lord Shi and Lord You brought a group of people to worship and asked me to come in and take a look." The master has wine now, and the slave told them to come back tomorrow. ”

"Tomorrow has tomorrow," Yinxiang suddenly burst out of Kangxi's mantra, "Call, call in!" ”

Zigu hurriedly handed Yinxiang the sobering soup and said, "Master, you are sober, don't say those words in front of outsiders." As he spoke, he took a wet towel and gave Yinxiang a decanting stone. Shi Shilun and You Mingtang walked in one after the other. There was a group of people behind, there were forty or fifty of them, these people were originally selected sergeants from the green camp where he trained when Yinxiang was ordered to enter the household department, and brought them into the department to help run errands. Suddenly, the hall was tightly stuffed, and everyone looked depressed as if they were mourning.

"No need to ask for anything!" Yinxiang put Erlang's legs on the chair and said, "Sit!" Sit! Zigu, tell them to move some more stools! After these people were seated, Yin Xiangfang asked, "What's going on in the ministry again?" ”

Shi Shilun and You Mingtang glanced at each other, and after a while, You Mingtang said: "There is nothing to do in the ministry. The two of us have just met the emperor and the crown prince, and we have come to bid farewell to the Thirteenth Master ......" "Resignation!" Yinxiang sat up straight all of a sudden, "What are you doing?" Where to go? Shi Shilun breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thirteenth Master, when the emperor summoned him, he had already called the study to draft the order. I am the governor of Shandong, and Mingtang is the political envoy of Yunnan, and the will is very urgent, prepare tomorrow, and I will have to leave Beijing early in the morning after tomorrow......"

"Is it because of my medicinal tea matter?" Yinxiang suddenly stood up angrily, "Zhao Fuxing! Prepare a sedan chair, I want to hand over the sign, please see! You Mingtang stopped Zhao Fuxing, sat down with Yinxiang, and said, "Thirteen masters! We're in a flat position! "I want to stop talking. Yinxiang turned around and said, "Zigu, you all go out!" ”

Seeing that he was still so careful when he was drunk, Shi Shilun couldn't help but nodded appreciatively, and said, "This is what the master means to protect us, Thirteenth Master, you have to be considerate." The fourth master also said the same and persuaded us to go. He said, 'Gone, gone, gone—'Thirteenth Master, do you think it's safe?' If you stay in the household department, needless to say, you also understand that there will still be a big deficit in the near future, and at that time, we can afford it? Yinxiang patted his head and said: "The yellow soup is so bad that I can't think about it, don't talk about it-who will be the head of the household, isn't there a good wind?" Besides, what should I do? ”

"There is no will for this. Listening to the emperor's tone, it seems that he wants Ah Ling'a to be the secretary. You Mingtang said, "As for the Thirteenth Master, you don't have to worry, the emperor even wants us to protect it, let alone you?" ”

Yinxiang heard that this group of people saw that they were sad, and they came to comfort themselves, and they couldn't help but be moved, and silently ate two sips of tea, and said to everyone: "Don't be so sad, break this road and go that way, and you can't say what will happen later!" Don't look at me stunned, I've been guarding against this day! With that, he got up and went into the back room. Everyone was in a daze, Yin Xiangfu came out again, and said to an official sitting on the left: "Baoerhe, look at it, what is this?" As he spoke, he handed over a stack of paperwork stamped with the Ministry of War.

"Appoint!" Bao Erhe was a little confused, and he leaned over and said, "Thirteenth Master, you are-"

Yinxiang's face was full of red light, and he smiled proudly: "By the way, appoint Zazi!" You, Birita, Zhang Yu, Duan Fugui...... There are also Xiao Ying and Lun Erjin, dozens of you are all personal soldiers used by the master when he was training Mulan. I wanted you to follow me to shine and shine, get some color, and change to a civil official. It doesn't seem to work now, but I've got the Ministry ready to appoint me. - How many are there today? One two three four five...... Forty-six-there are still eight who have not come, everyone has a share, and they are all promoted to a thousand presidents! I will see Zhao Fengchun tomorrow and fill the vacancy in Beijing nearby. He laughed, but tears came out of his eyes. Dozens of people were all sad to see him like this. Zhang Yu and the others all knelt down together. Lun Erjin said: "Thirteenth Master, you have such a heart...... What is good to call the minions? When the slave came, the slave was still a little scared. Now I have figured it out, what do you want to do Thirteen Masters, let's follow! ”

"The Thirteenth Master is so righteous and angry, I, Xu Yuanzhi, will follow you until the sun is dark!"

"Please ask the Thirteenth Master to enter the palace and ask for an order, leave Master Shi, and we will continue to do it!"

"Don't be stupid!" Yinxiang smiled and sighed, "Thirty-six plans are the best, the emperor knows about you Lao Shi and Lao You, but I don't know how many of you are?" Why bother to make a pot of stew? ”

Shi Shilun was afraid that he would say something else crazy, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Thirteenth Master, we will leave tomorrow, and we have to go back and prepare." What else do you command? ”

"I won't leave you alone." Yinxiang pulled Shi Shilun with one hand and You Mingtang with the other, looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "The day after tomorrow, I will personally send it - you must remember one, as long as I don't fall, I will make a comeback!" But then again, I'm not done with myself, and I can't say for sure right now. So you don't have to write anything to me...... Got it? He waved his hand. Everyone quit themselves, and they were very grateful for Yinxiang's righteousness.

Yinxiang slept sweetly all night, and did not wake up until the hour of the hour. Because he saw Zigu come in, he said, "Ask someone to go to the study to report a sick child, I want to have a good rest for a day." Asked Lao Zhao to meet Zhao Fengchun, the commander of the infantry army, and said that I wanted to see him in the evening. While serving him to dress, Zigu said, "Ye is unhappy, he should go out for a walk." Dai Duo from the Fourth Master's Mansion came and said that there was something important and asked the Master to go to the Fourth Master's Mansion. According to me, it makes sense for you to walk around, just don't forget what you said yesterday. This ear hears, and the other ear comes out. Yinxiang rinsed his mouth, squirted water, and said with a smile: "Big and small things, it's your business!" I can't take care of my own business! ”

Having said that, since it was the words from the fourth brother, Yinxiang couldn't help but care, and hurriedly drank a sip or two of **, and saw that Dai Duo was still standing at the door waiting, so he asked: "What's wrong!" ”

"The eighth master was ordered this morning to lead people to seal the yamen of the criminal department." Dador was a short man with piercing eyes. He has become a prefect outside, because he is a clothed servant under Yinzhen, so he still lives in Baylor Mansion when he enters Beijing, and he still works as an errand according to the rules. Listening to Yinxiang's inquiry, he hurriedly replied: "The guards, personal soldiers, and eunuchs of Babeile Mansion are all empty, as well as the people of Shuntian Mansion. Even the prince can't figure out the details. At this moment, the crown prince and the third master are all gathered in the fourth master's mansion! If you want to support it, let's go over and take a look...... "Yinxiang's heart couldn't help but be shocked: The Criminal Department is the pivot of the imperial court's power to kill and kill, can it be said that it is sealed for no reason? Why is even Yinren in the dark? I weighed it in my heart.

Dai Duo and Yinxiang took Zhao Fuxing to gallop on horseback. At the corner gate of the Lama Temple, he stepped down the horse stone. Yinxiang threw the horsewhip and reins to Zhao Fuxing, and went straight to the back garden and came to the Fengwan Pavilion. Yinzhen's number one Qingke Wu Sidao's study is here. He knows Yinzhen's habits, and he comes here to discuss the slightest important matter. Turning over the rockery, passing through a green maple forest, I saw that the prince Yinren, the third elder brother Yinzhi, and Yinzhen were all on the warm pavilion. Several people were silent, looking at a thin scholar with a cane and a yarrow cloth hexagram. Dai Duo said: "Thirteenth master, please, the slave can only come here, and it is inconvenient to go over without listening to the greeting." "Yinxiang knows that Yinzhen is very strict and well-organized.

Wu Sidao is thirty-five or sixteen years old. In the 23rd year of Kangxi, this person led 500 people in Nanjing, and jointly played the corruption chief examiner Zuo Yuxing and Zhao Taiming, making a big fuss in the Gongyuan and carrying the God of Wealth in. Later, the court ordered him to be arrested, and he escaped. Yinzhen, who went out on patrol, took him in. is nominally just a doorman, but Yinzhen treats him with courtesy. In addition to the house specially built for him outside, a study was also built for him in the garden of the house. Yinzhen had a housekeeper who made fun of him for being "the wind swinging willows" because he saw this Mr. Wu walking on crutches, and was heard by Yinzhen. The housekeeper was sent to Jiuquan to enjoy the taste of "resentful willows" outside the Saiwai. From then on, whether it was the elder brother or the princes and nobles, they never dared to despise this Wu Sidao. Yinxiang knew that this person was capable, so he didn't dare to alarm him. I saw the half-paralyzed Wu Sidao sitting on the ground without saying a word, examining it for a long time, and said slowly in a deep voice: "The prince asked the good luck, with all due respect, this hexagram is not lucky." According to this hexagram, it is the 'Tai' hexagram ......"

"Hexagram?" Sanbeile Yinzhi couldn't help laughing, shaking his fan and laughing: "Yin and yang, repeatedly adapted, the Thai hexagram is the most auspicious hexagram of the sixty-four hexagrams!" That's why the general statement says, 'Thai, small to big, Jihyung.' 'Excuse me, sir, what is the 'unlucky' method? Wu Sidao glanced at Yinzhi calmly and said, "What the third master said is true. As usual, people ask Hugh to blame, this word 'Tai' is indeed the supreme auspiciousness, but they don't know that this is the prince's fate, so we have to think about it from the topic of national society. Prince, your destiny is the life of fire. The fire of summer is extremely vigorous and the phase of growth and decline, it is difficult to shine the gold of autumn, and it is easy to be invaded by winter water, how can it be taken lightly? Look at this Xun, there are as many as eighteen yarrows, and the wind blows violently, how can you get it? People think that 'no Tai Ji comes', and hope for this 'Tai'; who would think that Tai Ji is coming or not! Misfortune and blessing depend, blessing and misfortune lurk, ferociousness turns into good, auspiciousness turns into evil, this is the purpose of the Book of Changes. ”

Wu Sidao is reasonable, justified, and upright. The princes completely followed the master to read "Yi" since childhood, but they had never heard such an interpretation, and even the knowledgeable Yinzhi was stunned for a while. The prince was originally a Linghui person, thinking that Yinyu was the life of water and the golden life of Yinyu, and the three of Yinyu were in the same evil and coveted the position of the prince, he couldn't help but turn pale, and sighed without squeaking.

"Third brother," although Yinxiang came late, seeing this scene, it was expected that they had already discussed the matter of Yinxiang, because he said with a smile: "Brother is a broken jar anyway, and they have already fallen by them." I went to Ama and asked, why didn't the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment even know about the prince? I ate the nails, how about you and the fourth brother speak slowly? "Then he walked away. Yin Zhen shouted anxiously: "Come back!" Are you going to ask for trouble? Who doesn't know that the prince and you are the same thing? ”

Wu Sidao smiled slightly and said, "The Thirteenth Master is not impatient. The purpose of the Book of Changes is in the same vein as Confucianism. My few alarmist words are just to advise the prince to be cautious. The crown prince has been the prince of the country for more than 30 years, and his life is in the sky, and the monarch and the minister are divided, who dares to endanger it easily? But since the internal cultivation of the province, justice and morality, naturally Tai is not negative. Therefore, Confucius said, 'What is thick is thin, and what is thin is thick, and there is nothing to be done'. As the saying goes, if you do good deeds, don't ask about the future, then the future will naturally be good. ”

After this comfort, Yinren felt a little relieved, and then smiled: "This is a wise saying." Qiu Yunsheng's case asked the eighth child to investigate! I'm not sick, what are I afraid of? After that, he said to Yinzhi: "Let's go, take a look at your new "Pei Wenyun Mansion"!" The two of them took their leave.

"The prince is in danger!" Wu Sidao looked at the backs of Yinren and Yinzhi, and sighed, "Danger is like a hanging thread, and it is like a tired egg!" ”

When he said something so coldly, Yinzhen's eyes jumped, and Yinxiang couldn't help but shudder. Yin Zhen looked at the scenery outside the window and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu is alarmist, right?" I asked Wu Dan last night. Long live the eighth envoy was decided temporarily because the prince was busy cleaning up the deficit and couldn't take care of it. Why make everyone lose their souls? ”

"That's a good question—since it was decided on an ad hoc basis, why did the crown prince and several elder brothers bother to make the emperor?" Wu Sidao propped up his crutches and walked a few steps, "In fact, the fourth master's heart is like a mirror, when today's son is the lord of the heroes that is rare through the ages, how can he be willing to do something useless?" Previously, the emperor had a lot of dissatisfaction with the crown prince, and hoped that he would be able to shake up his spirit and make a difference by cleaning up the deficit, but the prince mishandled the measures and failed, and his disappointment can be imagined. Shi Shilun and You Mingtang were transferred, obviously to protect the elites for the country and tell them to avoid trouble and leave Beijing. And to clean up the prison case of the Criminal Department, the intention is to test the eighth master, of course, it is inconvenient to consult the prince. It is really uncommon for the criminal department to be seized for such a big event, and he doesn't even say hello, and the father and son of the monarch and the minister are suspicious of each other! Please forgive the students for saying bluntly, no matter the fourth master or the eighth master, it is not the blessing of the country for the prince to interfere in politics - the emperor is blessed with wisdom, why don't you dare to move the ancestors to make the law? He sighed.

Seeing that Yinzhen and Yinxiang looked at each other and flashed away. They are all "***" people, the prince is dangerous, and they can't be safe. After a while, Yinzhen gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, or according to the method of the old thirteen, send an envoy from the criminal department to the emperor?" ”

"The country's ills are hard to return," Wu Si said, "Xiamen will fall, can a single tree support?" ”

Yinxiang smiled: "I can't afford to provoke, I can afford to hide." Fourth brother, let's also ask for leisure, how about a Jiang Wei to avoid trouble? ”

"I'm afraid it's too late." Wu Sidao said coldly, "Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs? ”

Yin Zhen pondered for a long time, bowed to the department, and said: "I have been with my husband for decades, and I know each other. May the gentleman teach me! ”

"Wait and see what happens." Wu Sidao said calmly, "Zi said that knowing and then there is determination, and then there is stability, and then there is peace, and then there is peace, and then there is peace, and then there is worry, and then you can get - the fourth master, I am a disabled person, and I can only survive under the protection of the fourth master all my life, and only the mind is slightly available." Give me a few days to plan for this contingency. So saying, he went with his crutches.

Wu Sidao's words were very light, but it made the brothers weigh the seriousness of the situation. Both of them were stunned, and after a long time, Yin Zhen smiled and said, "It seems that the trees are not falling apart now." Why worry that the sky is about to fall! Brother, be relieved, keep the prince safe, we are all fine. If anything, don't say anything about the broken jar, I will never make you suffer! ”

"Fourth brother," Yinxiang's eyes suddenly welled up with tears, and he said with a forced smile, "I remember when I was seven years old, I had a fever, and my eldest brother said that he was supporting him by eating, and he was defeated and cried, so he locked me in an empty room and cried." It was you who passed on the will of Empress Xiaoyi to release the people immediately. You also taught me a long and short sentence at that time, remember? Seeing Yinzhen shaking his head, Yinxiang then groaned:

The autumn grass on the wagtail plain is withered, and the blue clouds are lonely in the sky. Jiuqu ileum, only to the people under the fence: I am afraid that the world is also yellow grass and cold, white water and reed! Since Tusi'er tied himself, it was difficult to learn the rich Jia, and the long-sleeved dance without - he should only find a companion in the land and share this handful.

Yin Zhen smiled: "I forgot it a long time ago." Your thoughts, when I think about it, are contained in the "Yongle Canon". Yinxiang wiped away his tears and said: "But that's it." If I was looking for a companion, the prince never looked at me; Starling, I kowtowed my head, and it was in vain if the fate was wrong, so it could only be you. If you keep it, my lonely goose can still get a little corn, if you can't keep it, we will all starve to death! ”

Yinzhen's heart seemed to be soaked in boiling water, scalding into a ball. He smiled to himself for a while, and said: "Let's talk about the things later, who knows what the ending will be - it is also a happy thing to tell my brother about your encounter in the Immortal Tower." When Yinxiang heard this, his face became more and more pale, and he sat down dejectedly, silent for a long time, and then said that the situation of going to the Immortal Tower was long and short.

"Something is abnormal, it is a demon, and this thing is indeed a bit evil." Yin Zhen listened very carefully and said, "I heard that the bull nose of Baiyunguan was also introduced to Brother Ah and the princes and nobles by the surname Ren. My housekeeper Gao Fuer said that he had seen Ren Bo'an in both the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, and Ren also wanted Gao Fuer to bring Zhang Deming to show me. I said that I was born in heaven, so I am not a cheap life! Besides, I converted to Buddhism, and I have always taken the four emptiness as the precepts, and I don't seek wealth in the world. Rejected him. There is an apprentice of Zhang Deming in the old third mansion, who was also introduced by this surnamed Ren. This surnamed Ren, a Xu official, was actually mixed into the royal family, this means cannot be underestimated! ”

Yinxiang didn't pay attention to Yinzhen's words, and his thoughts returned to Alain. Why did Alan suddenly turn his face with himself, and Ren Boan seemed to be urging Alan to follow him, what a joke. Could it be that he wants to use a woman to influence me? Thinking about it, he smiled to himself: "Since she doesn't want to be clean." Looking at the current momentum, I don't know what to do myself? Saves this layer of hanging......"

"The musk deer is not extinguished when it is mashed into dust, and it is difficult to make a lotus inch." Seeing that he was stupid, Yin Zhen quoted a poem by Wen Tingyun to make fun of him, "Wen Bacha can be described as my brother's confidant!" It seems that Alain has other intentions, but it is difficult to investigate it in detail at the moment. I only advise you with one sentence, 'Within ten steps there will be fragrant grass.'" If she is really negative, the Buddha will naturally take care of her, how can she hurt you? With your character and talent, brother, why is it difficult to find a woman who is stronger than her! At that moment, the two brothers said a lot more thoughtful words before they dispersed.

A few days later, Yinxiang received an edict, and the household envoy was suspended, and Alinga temporarily signed the household book, which was still under the control of Yinren and Yinzhen. Yinxiang was sent to the Criminal Department to investigate the unjust prison with the eighth elder brother Yinxi. Yinxiang suddenly thought that Wu Sidao had said that he had thought about countermeasures for a few days, and when he came to Sibeile Mansion, Wu Sidao had already taken a boat to the south. Asked Yinzhen, Yinzhen smiled and didn't answer, only said: "Since the emperor asked you to go, there is naturally the emperor's reason." You're good at everything, but your edge is too exposed, and you have to get rid of it. Go ahead! With this edict, Amma will protect you. The criminal department is your starling's son, don't be angry, don't fight for credit. Let's see what kind of charter is Lao Ba? ”
