On the morning of Zigu's death by hitting a stone, Yin was ordered to enter the palace. In the East Warm Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Kangxi summoned him. Yinyuan thought that the thirteenth elder brother had found something wrong with him in the Ministry of Officials, and with a ghost fetus, he repeatedly weighed the few things he had done to place the doorman for himself in the Ministry of Officials, thinking about how Kangxi asked, how he answered, and thinking about where to bite Yinren and Yinzhen from where to bite back, since you don't make me live comfortably, then none of us should think about Ansheng! It wasn't until I saw him that I knew that Kangxi was going to hand over the military department to him. Due to the autumn flood last year, the lower reaches of the Yellow River were executed several times, and Yin was ordered to go out of Beijing to investigate how many fields were flooded. How much grain should be used for relief in the spring famine, where to transfer grain from and so on, write a practical note and hand it over to the prince for reading, and then Kangxi will decide. Because the prince, Fang Bao, Ma Qi, and Zhang Tingyu were all there, and discussed a lot of government affairs, Kangxi ordered him: "Go, it is not only to do the way of ministers, but also to do filial piety." Good students, don't learn from the eighth, look ahead and look forward to everything. ”

Yin lowered his head and listened, respectfully withdrew, his face was tight, he pressed his inner excitement, and paced out steadily, his heart was really fast: grasp the military department with one hand, and grab the money and food with the other! What's wrong with the emperor today, will he think of me as old fourteen? was walking, but saw Xing Nian bring a group of little Sula eunuchs carrying a few baskets of charcoal in, because he saw Yin bowing his head and frowning, he didn't seem to be happy, so he hurriedly stood sideways, beat a thousand children very skillfully, and said carefully: "The slave has asked for peace for the master!" Yin stood still, stretched his brows to look at Xing Nian, and said, "Why haven't I seen you these days?" Xing Nian hurriedly said: "It's cold, my old lady has asthma again, and it is snowing heavily, and it is getting worse and worse, and the master allows me to go back every day to see." The fourteenth master is a nobleman, he is so busy that he can't land on his feet, and he is still thinking about the slave! ”

"Look at you, you're still a filial son!" Yin said, took out a silver ticket from the page of his boots and handed it to Xing Nian: "This reward you." What kind of medicine do you want to use, you go to the master's mansion to find the steward. Xing Nian glanced at the silver ticket, it turned out to be a 1,000 taels of leading ticket, and he was so busy that he picked it up and kowtowed.

Out of the Donghua Gate, Yin didn't say a word, got on the horse and ran to Prince Lian's mansion. Because he saw He Zhu'er supervising the people in the house to pile snow lions and snow elephants in the open field in front of the door, they all made snow on their heads and faces. When He Zhu'er saw him coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "The fourteenth master came unfortunately, the eighth master went out last night and went to Dajue Temple to pray for the blessing of the master of Wei, I am afraid that he will be separated by heavy snow......" Yin listened, didn't even get off the horse, turned around and left. He Zhu'er hurriedly said: "It just so happens that there is something to go back to the house, I also have to pick up our master, I will accompany the fourteenth master!" So he sent them in and led the horses, and they went on a journey west together.

Due to the heavy snowfall, there are very few pedestrians on the streets of the city. Yin seemed to be staring absentmindedly into the distance, and said, "It's just that what kind of ecstasy soup did you drink that day, and you didn't do it with the deputy head of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and came to the Eighth Master's Mansion to build snow lions?" He Zhu'er's heart moved, and he sighed: "The words of the fourteenth master, I really can't go back if I think about it, after all, the slave is waiting for the life of the eighth master!" Yin smiled: "No wonder you, who doesn't climb the high branches?" That's the situation. ”

He Zhu'er went around the bend in his heart and said, "Fourteenth Master Shengming, what can the slave hide from your old age?" The slave took this step, and he couldn't say that he regretted it, the eighth master treated people kindly, and he didn't say anything to the slave. It's your old words, people go to high places, birds fly to high places, it's also natural and human, you always say yes, right? Yin vaguely "hmm" and said: "Whether life is good or not is in the sky, and it is in the people who know the times and do not know the times." You're a clever person, and you can naturally understand it - aren't you going to Dajue Temple? How do you want to go to Xibianmen? ”

"This is a scheming by the slave, and I have to ask the fourteenth master for guilt." He Zhu'er hurriedly smiled and said, "The eighth master really went to Baiyun Temple, and there are many people in the party, so he has to tell the master." So the minion personally led the way......" Yin nodded and said, "I understand." ”

The two of them rushed again, and the Baiyun Temple standing in the white snow had arrived. When Yin was still a teenager in Zongjiao, he often came to Baiyun to play. I heard the master say that it was not safe in the palace in the early years of Kangxi, and the emperor once pretended to be Suo Etu's younger brother to study nearby. Because of this "holy miracle", Kangxi allocated a huge amount of internal money for major repairs in the 45th year, which is no longer the way it was in the past.

Because there were no tourists in the snowy day, there was only one small Taoist priest sitting on the futon in the Lingyun Hall in the front yard, and the others probably went back to the room to the fire. Yin was about to ask, He Zhu'er said, "What did he save?" Our lord is in the mountain house - you come with me! Then he took Yin through the Jade Emperor Palace, Laojun Hall, bypassed the Four Imperial Palaces, and saw a small hall at the height of the platform, and on the plaque with black edges and white ground, it was written "gathering in the mountain house" four big characters, which was eye-catching. There are two Taoist priests standing majestically under the eaves of the door, and a Taoist priest stepped forward, and the chief said: "This is the real place of the Heavenly Master, He Jushi, please bring the guests to the Sanqing Pavilion with tea!" ”

"This is the Fourteenth Master!" He Zhu'er smiled, "No matter how big your rules are, you don't even know the level?" As he was talking, he listened to the voice of Yinxi: "Is the old fourteen here?" Come on in? Then the cotton curtain sounded, Zhengyi real person Zhang Deming was full of energy, wearing a Jiuyang thunder scarf, wearing a blue twenty-eight big sleeves and walking out to greet him, and said with a wave of his hand: "Amitayus Buddha!" Fourteenth master, Grandpa He, please! The Ninth Master is also in it! ”

The two of them followed, and a wave of heat came to their faces, warm, and they felt indescribably relaxed and comfortable. He Zhu'er was busy undressing Yin Fuxue. Yinyu settled down, only to see Yinyu and Yinyu sitting on the gossip carved porcelain pedestal with hot tea playing Go, because he said: "There is no stove in this house, and it is a tulle window, it is so warm!" Yinyu clasped Zi'er and said: "Don't underestimate the old way, you will enjoy happiness better than our dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren!" The ground was hollowed out, and the fire went from below, and even the walls were hot. ”

"This is the method that Poor Dao learned in Zhongshan Wangfu when he was a child." Zhang Deming smiled and said, "That Chenguang Xu Daye has just passed away...... "Don't brag, be careful to blow down the Yunji Mountain House!" Yin smiled: "You have practiced the iron cloth shirt skill, and the sword and gun are invulnerable." It's not false to have a bit of Taoism. If you want to blow it again, I will burn you on the firewood mountain, see if it is feathered or not? Yinxi smiled and said, "You are too shrewd." Don't you hear that 'there is a way to steal'? Why bother revealing it to the fullest? ”

"Where are you from?" Yin Yu asked casually, "It's hard for you to come to me again." Yin smiled and told Kangxi in detail about the meeting, but avoided Kangxi's words of "don't learn from the old eight". Yin Xi listened quietly and said: "Look at what this means, I don't know if the emperor will let you go out to lead the troops." Yin Yu smiled and said: "If you want to use soldiers now, it is naturally against Alabutan." Good old fourteen! With 100,000 Eight Banners Force, go west out of Jiayuguan, enough to act in a play! It's just that you don't want to learn from Zhao Kuangyin, come to a Chen Qiao mutiny, and add a yellow robe! ”

Yin was startled, and hurriedly laughed: "Brother Jiu, don't make fun of it!" Even if there is a yellow robe, I can only put it on for the starling, I just want to earn a yellow coat and reward an iron hat king! Although the words were ridiculous, Yinxi's face became unusually pale when he heard this, but his tone was very calm: "Actually, whether this yellow robe is worn by your fourteenth master, or the ninth or tenth master, I am willing." I will do what I say! You all know the situation that day, the emperor has a will, the ministers have a public opinion, and the crown prince is not what I want - why did he blindly oppress me as soon as he was reinstated? This person has not ascended the throne, but he has such a heart; Once you get the will, there will be a fourth brother on the left and a thirteenth brother on the right, what else do you and my brother have to do! ”

"Brother," Yinyu frowned and looked at the chessboard, and muttered, "What else does the emperor want?" Yin smiled: "I didn't say anything else." They were discussing politics there, and I heard that they were going to issue an order that the whole world should be free of money and food every three years. Yinren didn't say a word from beginning to end, with a calm face, who owed him two buckets of rice money! ”

Yin Yu smiled: "Of course he doesn't want to, this is reasonable." If the emperor can do it now, he may not be able to do it in the future. The emperor has done it, and he will succeed to the throne in the future, how can he be gracious? He shook his head and said no more. This is a heart-wrenching sentence to Yinren, which is said to be penetrating and clear, and everyone nodded silently.

"That's interesting." After a while, Yin puffed a smile and said, "On a snowy day, a few of our brothers gathered here to talk, but I forgot to ask, what kind of wind blew you all to?" ”

Yinyu glanced at Yinyu, and when he saw Yinyu nodding slightly, he stopped playing chess and said, "Zigu should have had news this morning and evening, why didn't there even report it?" Don't have an accident, right? "No, it won't." Zhang Deming said, "She is a steady girl. With such a heavy snowfall, the road is not easy to walk. There is chaos in the house, and you have to avoid suspicion......" Yin was surprised: "What kind of dumb riddle are you playing, who is Zigu?" ”

"Zigu is the nemesis of the old thirteen, the life-chasing Yama!" Yinyu's eyes flashed faintly, and a few words burst out from between his teeth, "Ren Bo'an's adopted daughter again." After several twists and turns, after several years of deliberation, it was placed in Yibel Province. This cannon twist is lit, you know? ”

Yin was stunned by his tone, his body shook, and he stared at Yin Yu and said, "You mean ......?"

"If someone tells you, the thirteenth brother returns to Elysium today." Yin Yu said slowly, his eyes glowing gray and green, "You won't be sad, will you?" ”

“…… You-you...... Is that true? ”

Yin Yu sighed: "This is something that can't be helped. The thirteenth brother doesn't want us to live. One Ren Bo'an is not counted, the people from the Criminal Department have revealed the letter, and he has brought a monk from the Fourth Brother's Mansion here. He also took an interest in this place, how could he have such a big appetite? ”

Only then did Yin understand that these two people were telling the truth! When he looked at He Zhu's childhood, his face was sallow with fright. Yin Ne said: "This is too ......"

"That's ruthless, isn't it?" Yinxi's voice was a little hoarse, "Don't forget, he's a 'desperate thirteen'." Ren Bo'an's stuffy stick, did he beat us ruthlessly? Is there a little bit of flesh and blood? He dug up our money in the blink of an eye. He has cut off our eyes and ears, and he will cut off our arms and feet with his hands! Yinyu nodded and said, "Instead of sitting and waiting, it's better to strike first!" ”

Yin shuddered from the bottom of his heart: he didn't feel sorry for Yinxiang. The two people in front of them were calm and leisurely, like nobody, waiting for the death of their younger brother! This heart, this means, is so palpitating! When he was in a daze, Yinxi's eyes turned over and asked, "Scared?" Or is it reluctant? ”

"It's not that I'm afraid, and there's nothing I can't give up. Li Shimin can't do the change of Xuanwumen, where did the rule of Zhenguan come from? Yin's heart was beating wildly, trying his best to hide his panic and uneasiness, and said: "It's too sudden, it's too fast, and I can't come back to my senses for a while." Remember that the old thirteen squatted in the prison temple, you stuffed people in front of him, and you dared to take precautions! Yin Yu laughed and said, "You mean Alan and Sister Qiao?" Yinxiang stares at them like thieves every day, how can it be done? Don't you hear, 'If you prevent this, you will neglect the other'? It's a shame that you are familiar with the art of war, but you don't know how to repair the plank road and secretly Chen Cang! He put his mind on guarding against Sister Qiao and Alain, so he just fell for my plan! Yin Yu pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "This is in the art of war!" Guarding like a virgin, out of a cunning rabbit, attacking it unprepared, unexpected! ”

As he was talking, he heard the Taoist priest outside: "Are you here?" Several masters are inside! As soon as the words fell, a person with a face full of snow broke in, but it was Jia Ping from Yinxiang Mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, he said: "Master, it's over, it's over!" ”

"It's over, it's over! That's it. Yin Yu said coldly, "This is also worth panicking? Why did you come here at this time, can't you leave the house? Jia Ping wiped a handful of snow water flowing into his eyes, and hurriedly said: "Good ninth master, it's over, it's over, but it's not the thirteenth master." It's fucking - ahhh I can't tell, but all in all, Zigu is dead! ”

In one sentence, everyone in the room turned yellow, and the mountain house suddenly became as dead and silent as a deserted temple!

"Zigu...... Zigu is dead? Yinxi's face turned pale, his hands trembled nervously, and he asked in a trembling voice, "She...... Not hands-on? Jia Ping sighed and said, "I just came to inquire about this, and I only came at this time!" - Hands-on is hands-on, the girls said that the thirteenth master is blessed, and there is a god in secret, so he dropped the cup, and pushed down a zhang of red, and tossed the camp, and the thirteenth master woke up...... "Then he said hand comparison, and said with a mouth full of foam, "...... Only Zigu didn't run away, she was killed by herself, and the slave really couldn't figure out what the reason was. Yin Yu stood up, suddenly dizzy, sat down again, stroked his head and pondered for a long time, and said without raising his head: "This person is the same as the fourth brother, who is rude and evil, and treats people meanly. The gods have spirits, and they will never protect such a person - it seems that someone is secretly protecting them! ”

Yin Yu was confused for a while, suddenly panicked, and suddenly said: "Starling! If something happens, will something happen to Baiyun Temple? Yin felt a bit like an outsider, and said with a wooden face: "If something happens, this will already be out!" If Zigu confessed something, she wouldn't have committed suicide. ”

"That's what Old Fourteen said. Zigu categorically wouldn't say anything. Yinxi gradually regained her composure, and her face was bloody, "I treat her with extraordinary kindness." Her father was saved by me, her mother was sent by me, she put a straw mark on her head and sold herself, I bought it and handed it to Ren Bo'an, treated each other like a daughter, and took care of her for more than two years - she is a filial daughter, and there will be no seller. I'm just wondering, how can something that is nine out of ten things be messed up? Yinyu took a deep breath and said, "Someone actually dropped a cup and called the police!" Even a zhang red weighing dozens of catties has fallen! Incredible, incredible......" His eyes lit up sharply, and he stopped thoughtfully.

Zhang Deming had been closing his eyes and pondering on the side, and when he saw several people discussing, Qu Ran opened his eyes and said: "Alan and Sister Qiao are the most suspicious!" Yin Yu said viciously: "Yes, it must be that these two fox spirits have changed their minds!" Their entire family lives were lost? - Jia Ping, call them here today, the master ordered them to do it, see how it is? ”

"The situation has changed." Yinxi's face was expressionless. "I wanted to get rid of the thirteenth elder brother and suppress Yinzhen, but Yinren lost his arm. This incompetent prince sent one thing to smash another, and the situation naturally turned in favor of me. In this way, not only the thirteenth elder brother, but even the fourth elder brother has taken precautions - so you can't act rashly now! Sister Qiao, they are going to change their minds, they are desperate for their wealth, you order to kill, and you will be unlucky immediately. If you don't change your mind, you have to rely on them to help you make a secret visit to find out who reported the news. Therefore, no messenger can be given to them now. ”

Yin said with a smile: "It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, this is the most difficult to find out." According to me, the left and right are left and right, and the dumplings are also wonton fillings, so they are simply stewed in one pot. Seize Yuqing Palace, and there will be another Xuanwumen coup! People die like lights go out, who talks to whom what birds! As soon as everyone heard it, they knew that "people die like lights going out", even Kangxi. This Yin really has the character of an outlaw! Immediately, I felt that the hair was standing up! Yinyu's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he asked gloomily, "The military department listens to you?" Nine Cities Terracotta Division listen to you? How do Ouchi guards deal with it? Kill the king and ascend to the pole, do the courtiers obey you? Even Emperor Yongle didn't dare to fight Zhu Yuanzhang's idea! Yinxi shook his head and said: "If this is the case, your fourteenth master will come to be the emperor, I will not dare!" The reputation behind this is unbearable! ”

"Reputation?" Yin Yi snorted and said, "Qin II succeeded to the throne in a dignified manner, what is his good reputation now?" Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutinied and committed usurpation, who dares to say that he is not good? Since ancient times, the princes and the losers have been thieves, if you have cured the world, there will naturally be people who will support you, and you will naturally have a good reputation! He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Let's count the troops, Zhao Fengchun of the Shanpu Battalion has 4,000 people plus the internal guards, less than 6,000, all of them are counted as theirs, plus the soldiers of the Yamen, the governor of Zhili, the total is only 10,000." The 6,000 people in the Xishan Ruijian Camp are mine, plus the people from our three mansions and the ten brothers' mansions, almost 8,000. Long Keduo, the commander of the Nine Gates, has 20,000 people in his hands, and he doesn't expect him to help, just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! In the name of King Qin's side Qingjun, I transferred Ruijian into the city, and my elbows and armpits caught fire, and there was chaos in an instant. In the chaos, as long as the Palace of Heart Cultivation is sealed, Yuqing Palace is captured, and the princes are coerced by the Son of Heaven, who dares to let out a false fart? Listen to me, I didn't say killing the king, his old man has been sitting in the country for forty or fifty years, let him be the emperor......"

"You're stupid, shut up!" Yin Yu suddenly changed color, slapped the table and shouted in a low voice, "What kind of person is Banzai, you dare to make such an calculation?" What did Wu Dan do when he came to Beijing? The Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion and your Tooth Generals of the Ruijian Battalion, which one is not the one he used? He slowed down his voice and said: "There is no time, place, and people, fourteenth brother, those thoughts of yours are all pipe dreams!" ”

Yinyu was already moved at the beginning, changed his usual deep and steady demeanor, got up and paced quickly, and after listening to Yinyu's analysis, he felt more reasonable, so he stood up and said word by word: "What the starling brother said is true." Fourteenth brother, you are too reckless. The top priority, as long as Yinren is removed, the starling is highly respected, and the crown prince has to belong to us! ”

"You're wrong, too!" Yin Yu flicked his braids, and said with blazing eyes, "The top priority is that the fourteenth brother does a good job." Hold the military department steadily, it is better to be able to lead the troops! This is one. Didn't the emperor approve Yinren's book and take our people according to the list? Just tell him to take it! The more we do this, the more we push people to our side! The fourteenth brother went down to Qincha, looked at a few stolen officials, and got close to Yinren, and found out that it was solid and solid to the end, Yinren didn't stink, but it also stinked! When it stinks, he still has to be abolished! ”

An elaborate deliberation is over. Everyone was shocked and sweated nervously. Jia Ping suddenly said: "I didn't ask for leave for Wen Tou'er when I came out, don't make that old cheap bone suspicious." Then he was busy leaving.

"Let's go. Don't come to this place for the time being, and Yin Xiang can't find out anything famous for a while. Yin Xi sipped tea and got up and said, "He Zhu'er went back to the house." The three of us braved the snow to visit the thirteenth brother and frightened him. Yin put on an oil coat and said with a smile: "It's a big pity that Brother Ten didn't come today." Yin Yu smiled: "Just because his mouth is not noble, he didn't dare to alarm." It was said that when the emperor saw you, you couldn't come. Who knew you found it yourself! With that, the three brothers came out of the mountain house together, and the snow had already fallen.
