When Li Dequan turned back to the Heart Cultivation Hall to resume the decree, Ma Qi and Tong Guowei knelt on the Danqi, and the crows inside and outside the hall were silent, but they saw He Zhu'er flash out and whispered: "The master is recuperating his spirits, let's go in later." ”

"Li Dequan?" Kangxi inside had already heard it and said loudly, "Come in." Li Dequan hurriedly went in, and saw that Yinzhen, Yinzhi, and Yinzhen were all beside the royal couch, and reported the situation of the decree at noon. Kangxi was stunned for a long time, and sighed: "There must be Wang Luo like this!" Throughout the historical records, once the crown prince is deposed, the wall falls down and everyone pushes it, and he often dies badly. Why am I willing to abolish him? It's also a last resort! After saying that, two lines of old tears burst out of his eyes.

Zhang Tingyu had already written the edict, and when he heard Kangxi say this, his eyes jumped, and he presented the manuscript with both hands. Kangxi took it with trembling hands, and when he wiped his tears, he wrote:

Prime Minister Heshan Chen Ai Xinjue Luo Xuanye respectfully played Haotian God, Taimiao, and Sheji: The minister only inherited Pixu, forty-seven years. In the national economy and people's livelihood, work hard all night, and have nothing to do without resorting to heaven and earth. In the annals of ancient history, although the rise and fall are not the same, those who win the hearts of the people do not prosper, and those who lose the hearts of the people do not die. The ministers thought that it was a lesson, and they were deeply afraid of the great cause of the ancestors, so although they were not virtuous, they held the government in person, and all government affairs, not favoritism, and did not seek the small group; There is no long-term decision, and everything is arbitrary. Only do your best, and after you die, you will reign for a day, and you will be diligent in governance, and you will never dare to be slack. I don't know what the minister is innocent of, and those who give birth to children like Yinren are unfilial and unjust, tyrannical and adulterous. If it is not attached to ghosts, it is easy to become crazy and become sick, how can a flesh person endure it? Yinren does not speak faithfully, does not fulfill his moral and righteous deeds, is guilty of many things, and is difficult to bear. It is used to announce the God of Haotian, and to depose it, so as not to worry about the country and the common people!

After seeing it, he lowered his head and groaned, asked for a pen and paper to write, but his hand trembled badly, and he still handed it to Zhang Tingyu and said, "It's okay to write." I still have a few words in my heart, you can draft the text. Zhang Tingyu promised "yes", took the manuscript and retreated to the corner of the hall, with the pen in hand. Kangxi said sadly: "I lost my father at the age of eight and my mother at the age of eleven, and I can only tell heaven if I am sincere." Alas...... These more than 20 sons of mine are quite a lot, but they are far inferior to me! If the Qing Dynasty is still long, please prolong my life, I will be more diligent and finish well; If my country is not blessed, and God wants to bring disaster, then I will die early, and it will be counted as a lifetime of fame...... You write it. Speaking of this, my heart was sour, and I hung my head and choked up and couldn't speak.

Yin Zhen sharply remembered that on August 15 of that year, Kangxi was willing to reduce his life expectancy, and prayed for the perfection of the ages. Only two years have passed, and the great changes have come suddenly, and please prolong your life so that the world will be beneficial. Although the scenery is different, the situation is the same. Although Yinzhen is a cold-hearted person, he can't help but burst into tears. Yinyu and Yinzhi are both heartfelt, with a wooden face and a silent head, Zhang Tingyu's heart was hot, and he wrote with tears in his eyes:

…… The minister has been lonely since he was a child, and he has not been trained by his parents, but this heart and this thought, he dare not slack off on the more God. Although the ministers have many sons, they are far inferior to the ministers. For example, the Qing Dynasty has a long history, prolongs the life of the ministers, and the ministers should be diligent and diligent, and ensure the end; If our country is not blessed, it will be a disaster to the ministers, and the name of the ministers will be ordered. The minister is very painful, I respectfully advise!

At this point, the festival has been completed. Kangxi read it, and said silently for a long time: "I have always been strange. Yinren, this kid is usually gentle and elegant, how did he become like this? According to my thoughts, I have fallen for the evil spirit! Waste is waste, I can't let go of it in my heart. Temporarily lock him up in Xian'an Palace and take care of him. Chen Jiayou and Zhu Tianbao still stayed by his side to wait. The crown princess will naturally be abolished, but don't be embarrassed for her - I have a headache, you go down! ”

Yinzhi and Yinzhi glanced at each other and resigned. Yin Zhen moved uneasily, and said softly: "Amma, you are like this, your son is very sad in his heart, and it will be difficult to live in peace when he goes back." Can you allow your son to wait here? Do you sleep with your son before leaving? Kangxi looked at Yinzhen, nodded and said: "It's hard for your filial piety, so be it - Tingyu, you are also tired, go back......"

"Minister's request," Zhang Tingyu said cautiously, "This sacrifice to heaven is ......."

"The day after tomorrow," Kangxi said groggyly, "you...... Go to the Temple of Heaven on my behalf......" With a wave of his hand, the hall returned to silence.

Half a month after the proclamation of the deposition of the crown prince, Wu Dan, the governor of Liangguang, was ordered to return to Beijing. Therefore, the situation of Shijingshi was extremely complicated, Wu Dan did not visit anyone, rested in his private house for a night, and got up early the next morning and went straight to Xihuamen to hand over the sign to him.

As soon as he handed over the sign, he saw a general coming out, with an official robe and a sword at his waist, also in his sixties, but he strode with the wind, and the snow creaked and creaked. As soon as the man came out and saw Wu Dan standing, he was stunned at first, hurriedly took a step forward, and arched his hands: "This is not the old general Wu!" It's been a long time! ”

"Are you...... Wolf's Eye! Wu Dan must have recognized it, patted the man's shoulder and laughed, "Brother wolf!" What do you do with my ass? What 'Wu Lao General'? My martial arts name was given by the first mother. We have been brothers for decades, if you are happy, still call me a donkey! Wolf Eye is a delicate and capable person, not as bold as Wudan, so he smiled: "I heard long live in Chengde that you are coming." I calculated that you should have arrived three days ago, and the last time you went to Beijing, I thought about going to Beijing to see you, and then I heard that you went back again. How did you go for so many days? Why don't you take the waterway? ”

When it comes to taking the waterway, it is natural to pass through Nanjing. When Wu Dan passes through Nanjing, he must see Wei Dongting, and this is actually what he asked. Wu Dan said with a smile: "I am on the waterway, and now that the situation is like this, I can't help but ask these old brothers." Alas, Huchen is good at everything, but his heart is as careful as a hair, which hurts him, and his body is getting worse and worse...... I saw that he was so miserable and miserable that I felt so bad—not to talk about it. Di Bao said, didn't you come to Beijing as an escort? It's been more than 20 days, and I still haven't ordered you to go back? The wolf looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one, Fang said: "I have to go back to Chengde to guard the summer resort, I'm afraid your brother may not be able to go back to Guangdong." Wu Danyuan held the purpose of going back quickly, hearing him say this, his heart sank, and he wanted to ask, but he knew that the wolf had always been cautious, so he had to do it haha, and said: "That...... That's the best thing - where you live now, I'll see you later. ”

The wolf smiled and said: "I have more than 10,000 soldiers, I don't live in the city, I will come to see you when I come back." You'll know when you see Banzai. As he was talking, when he saw Xing Nian coming out, he smiled and said, "The master has passed you, hurry up and go in!" ”

Xing Nian came over to greet him, and took this crane-haired old guard all the way into the hanging flower gate of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Fang Yu smiled and said: "Martial arts platform, long live the purpose, you don't have to sign up." The minions will not go in and know. You ...... please," Wu Dan nodded and stepped in.

At first sight of Kangxi, Wu Dan almost couldn't believe his eyes. I haven't seen him for half a year, and Kangxi seems to be ten years older. In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Kangxi Wuzi was wearing a sauce-colored Jiang silk woolen sheepskin robe, his slightly puffy face was full of wrinkles like knife carvings, and he leaned on the big pillow and looked at the caisson on the top of the hall. Looking at Kangxi's old and tired face, Wu Dan's nose was sour, and he choked on the ground: "Old slave Wu Dan is respectful...... Long live Jin'an...... It's been more than half a year now, and the master's body is so thin ......"

"It's Wudan......" Kangxi turned his face and smiled bleakly, "Get up and sit down quickly - He Zhu'er, give tea!" Then he asked, "I see that you are radiant and enviable!" I remember that you are six years older than me......" Wu Dan held back his tears and said with a smile: "The master dragon body has always been Kangtai. At the moment, it's just a temporary lack of recuperation, and I'm looking to reduce it. After a few days of resting, you will naturally get better. The old slave still has to accompany the master to the Mulan paddock to see how many tigers the master shoots! Saying that, he smiled reluctantly and wiped away his tears, Kangxi smiled: "You old thing, are you here to comfort me, or are you sad?" ”

Wu Dan hurriedly smiled: "The slave is really worried about the master, and somehow he can't stop crying!" The older the slave gets, the more mother-in-law becomes. ”

"I summoned you to Beijing this time, and I won't let you go back to Guangdong. We will be able to see each other more often in the future. Kangxi sat up and said solemnly. Seeing that Wu Dan stared at himself with wide eyes, he said slowly: "You are here to serve as the governor of Zhili." The arch guard of Beijing is handed over to you. The wolf is stationed in Chengde, and it is easy to meet if you want to meet. People are old and old, and they are most afraid of loneliness, you are here, and I am at peace in my heart......" After that, he lowered his head and sighed. Wu Dan knew that Kangxi was not at ease with the political situation, so he transferred himself, which was naturally a great trust, but thinking of what Wei Dongting said, "Jingshi is now like a tiger's den in Longtan", he couldn't help but feel a chill. was thinking about how to reply, Kangxi said again: "Before, in Chengde, the guards were handed over to the eldest brother. He is a prince, and his identity is incompatible; There is also Yinzhi, who is also a prince and a guard, which is not appropriate in terms of style. I originally wanted to call Wei Dongting to come, but his body and bones are too bad, so I want to come and go, so I have to do this, you can't shirk. ”

Wu Dan's heart moved, and he felt that Kangxi didn't seem to be at ease with Yinhe. Busy said: "It's just that the slave is also old, and this is important." The guards have to wait for the station, and there are many things to do outside the governor's yamen, and the slave is a hard worker, so I am afraid that he will not be able to take care of it. There is a mistake, the slave is guilty of a small crime, how can he be worthy of the master's Hong En for decades? ”

"Don't worry!" Kangxi smiled, "Gyeonggi Defense, you are just a name." I heard that the direction of the mountain of the Zhili Yamen was unfavorable to the governor, and I ordered the Qin Tianjian to go and see it, saying that the south and north of the Yamen were not good for the chief officials, and I told them to hurry up and reform. Once you've packed up, you're ready to move in. I am not confused in my heart, you Wu Dan must have seen Wei Dongting. For fear of getting into trouble with my brothers, I have already admonished my brothers and not allowed anyone to come to you without permission to stir things up. You are a person who has a purpose to avoid death twice, how did you have this fearful thought? I don't want you to come in and stand up for the rules, I just borrow your reputation to suppress this Beijing city for me. Wu Dan listened to Kangxi's heart-to-heart words, and all kinds of feelings came to his heart, and he wanted to say something, but his throat was choked and he couldn't say it. After a while, he said: "The master trusts the slave so much, the slave is dead, and he can't repay the favor even if he grinds it into powder." The slave was born in the green forest, but a horse thief, can he have today, isn't it all given by Long Live? Since the master said this, the slave is in Beijing, and he will not ask Banzai to do half a snack for the defense of the Forbidden City! "That's it." Kangxi nodded and smiled, "You are a famous demon king, just in this Heart Cultivation Palace, how many people have you killed!" Just take your ruthlessness, the eunuchs here are afraid when they hear your name, how many military attaches in Gyeonggi are your old subordinates, but I am afraid that they can still be suppressed. After that, he told a lot of words to take care of himself before ordering Wu Dan to kneel in peace.

Wu Dan withdrew from the hall with a sad heart, and saw Li Dequan holding a steaming big medicine jar in his hand from the side of the weeping flower gate, Yinzhen walked in front, so he stepped forward, and was about to say goodbye, Yinzhen held it and said with a smile: "I don't dare to accept your gift!" Have you seen the emperor? ”

"I've seen it," Wu Dan said, "The fourth master is waiting for the emperor's medicine, right?" How about a minion take a bite? Yin Zhen nodded with a smile, looked at Wu Dan and took a sip, and asked, "Where are you going now?" Wu Dan wiped his mouth and said nonchalantly: "Go to the eldest brother." He gave me the messenger of the guards! Yin Zhen smiled and said, "He just went back." The emperor sent Yi Belle this time, and he was punished. Alas...... How can the old thirteen bear these forty rods! Wu Dan thought about it for a long time, and didn't know how to reply to this, so he had to say: "The thirteenth master is a golden branch and jade leaf, if the slave is coarse and rough, it will be loose with a hundred rods." The minion has a good stick sore medicine there, so go back and send a little to the thirteenth master. ”

Yin Zhen sighed: "He was detained in the beekeeping road, afraid that he would not be able to send it in." Then you can have someone send it to my house, and I will deliver it on your behalf. Wu Dan was really afraid to continue talking about this kind of topic, so he took advantage of the conversation and said goodbye: "The fourth master has nothing else to do, so the slave will go." Yinzhen stopped, "Don't be busy!" I didn't ask you to befriend me, what are you afraid of? They both laughed. Yin Zhen asked: "I heard that Meng Guangzu of the Third Master Mansion is in Nanjing, have you seen it?" ”

Wu Dan glanced at Yinzhen in surprise: Meng Guangzu, the disciple of Wang Yinzhi of Chengjun, has not only been to Nanjing! From Sichuan to Yunnan and Guizhou, he has also been to Liangguang. Wu Dan was in Nanjing, and he had heard what Wei Dongting said. It's just that Yinzhen's news is so fast, it's really confusing. After thinking about it for a while, Wu Danfang said: "Fourth master, I really don't know the end of this matter. I only stayed in Nanjing Yanziji for less than two hours. Didn't get off the boat at all. I will only meet Wei Dongting, and I heard in a trance that there are people in the Sanye Mansion in Nanjing. Whether it's Meng Guangzu or not, I didn't ask. Huchen, the fourth master, knew that it was none of his business, and he didn't say a word superfluous - I only heard that the man had only been in Nanjing for three days, and I didn't stop all the way and came to Beijing. ”

"Go back!" Yin Zhen smiled faintly, "Let's talk about it another day, don't forget the medicine." So saying, he flicked the horn of his robe, nodded and went into the temple.

Wu Dan was relieved, out of Xihua Gate, it was already noon, but hesitated: at this time, I visited the king of Zhijun, Yinyu, just in time for lunch, I must stay to eat by myself, do you eat or not? After hesitating for a while, he decided to go to the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili to receive the seal first, settle it, and then calmly go to hand over to Yinhe. Just about to get on the sedan chair, I saw Wang Yinzhi of Chengjun come out from afar. Wu Dan never wanted to see this elder brother again, so he hurriedly got into the sedan chair and ordered: "Get up the sedan chair and go to the governor's yamen!" ”

King Chengjun is different from his usual gentle and elegant demeanor, his face is tense and blue, he holds a Xiangfei bamboo folding fan in his hand, steps on the snow and brings the wind all the way out, standing at the gate of Xihua, stomping on the steps, and shouting: "Where is my sedan chair?" ”

"Chitose Lord, the minions are waiting here!" The housekeeper was guarding the big stone lion in the north of the door, he had never seen his master so imposing, he was busy and promised to run over, and said with a smile: "The master has been in for half a day, he must be hungry, show the master the sedan chair!" Yinzhi sneered and said, "Don't look at how much knowledge you have gained in the past half a day!" Hooray, Lord almost didn't rip out my heart! He paused for a moment, and found that he was a little out of shape, so he slowed down and said: "Ask someone to go back and send a message to Chen Menglei, Wei Tingzhen, Cai Shengyuan, and Fahai, I originally planned to invite them to dinner, but now I can't go back if I have something to do." Tell the emperor and grandson to accompany me and apologize for my sin! The housekeeper listened to a word of promise, and said, "Please show me, where to take the sedan chair now?" Yinzhi entered the sedan chair with a huff and said loudly: "Zhijun Wangfu!" ”

The palace of Zhijun is located on Locust Tree Street. It was originally the former Ming Fu King's residence, the most magnificent and magnificent, and the pearl lived here before the event. In the twenty-ninth year of Kangxi, Mingzhu was raided, and the family moved out, and gradually fell into the cold. After the eldest brother was named Baylor, he occupied this treasure land. When Yinzhi arrived at the house, he got off the sedan chair angrily, and he didn't call anyone to report, but went straight to the back hall. Yinzhi was having dinner with Fujin, and several concubines stood next to him waiting, but Yinzhi crashed into it, scaring the women one by one.

"Third child, are you here?" A trace of unhappiness flashed on Yinyu's face, but he soon became kind and pleasant again, and stopped his wives and concubines, "It's the third uncle who is here, what are you hiding?" Third child, sit down - add a pair of cups and spoons! ”

Yinzhi shook his braid to the back of his head, sat down with his robe, and said, "I'm so full, I don't need to eat." Ask my sister-in-law to eat here, I have something to say to my eldest brother, how about talking in the study over there? Yin Yu swept his eyes, and Fujin Zhangjia hurriedly got up and smiled: "I'm already full." You two chatter while eating! After that, he led his family to retreat. Yinhe put down his chopsticks and asked, "Third child, you are so hot, not like your usual complexion, what happened?" ”

"I'm here to confess to my eldest brother!" Yinzhi turned his face and said, "What's wrong, doesn't the eldest brother know better than me?" ”

Yinyu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yinzhi and smiled: "You are not a gourd, and a scoop is not a scoop, how can you make people talk?" "Well said!" Yinzhi smiled coldly and said, "Today, the emperor has approved a note, telling me to understand the reply, and I will recite it to you - according to Ma Jun, the governor of Jiangnan, there is Meng Guangzu, who claims to be from the Chengdi Sect, lobbying between Shaanxi, Sichuan, Guangzhou, and Hubei to spread the news of the inner court. Recently, he went to the Governor Tong's mansion, the general's mansion, and the Governor Xue's mansion, and gave silk, horses and other things on behalf of the king, and went to the minister's mansion to give Ruyi. Ministers think about the national law of our dynasty, and all past officials must be related to anti-surveying, and all officials can receive them. The person is a member of Chengdi Gate, who has traveled through several provinces without a license, which is very suspicious. The minister was shocked, thinking that the elder brother sent someone to give the foreign official objects, and according to the law, he should have a holy bow, so he took the risk of having this secret fold, and asked for an urgent request for 600 miles How to deal with Meng. Sincerely, it's scary! - How, can I memorize it all? ”

"I have heard for a long time that the third brother has a talent that he will never forget, and sure enough!" Yinhe listened, and he already knew it in his heart, so he said gently, "Don't listen to Ma Jun's fart!" Though he went out of my house, he has always been unorthodox. Third brother, a gentleman like you, I never believe that there is such a thing! If it is really Meng Guangzu who pretends to be your dispatch to swagger outside, third brother, you have to tear this matter apart in front of Wan Sui, and I will naturally speak for you! ”

"It's better to say than to sing!" Yinzhi's eyes were on fire, "Your doorman Liu Fengming is not outside?" And Xue Zhankui, do you think I don't know? If it weren't for your instructions, how dare Ma Jun have to use me as a fight? ”

Yin Yu suddenly stretched his face and slapped the case with a "bang", "Third child, do you still have some rules?" What Liu Fengming, Xue Zhankui? I do not know! Your people are out there to make trouble, and they are being lifted up, what are you pestering me for? You can see that you yourself are not decent! I really didn't expect you to be so shameless! Yinzhi was furious, and got up as soon as the fan fell: "Don't think that the prince is abolished, you are the master!" Not necessarily! I'll tell you the truth, I'm not a fuel-efficient lamp either! "It's none of my business if you save fuel or not!" Yinhe roared, "The two mountain characters are stacked, you give me out!" ”

"Good ......" Yinzhi was so angry that he had nothing to say, and only after a while did he shake his chest and laugh viciously, "Don't regret it, don't regret it!" "I stomped my foot and went.
