Hearing Kangxi's laughter outside the window, Yinren and Zheng Chunhua, who were intoxicated in the gentle countryside, were like thunderbolts exploding overhead on a sunny day, and they almost fainted with fright. The two of them sat in front of the candle as if they were dead ashes. Suddenly, I heard a "bang" again, and the cup fell to the ground, followed by a creepy scream, and a palace maid crawled to the door with a roll, shrunk into a ball, and reported silently: "Master...... Xiao Cui she ...... She didn't know who she was ...... Kick to death under the porch! My Mom...... Seven Orifices Bleeding ......"

"Ah Cai, don't be afraid." Zheng Chunhua's body trembled and came to his senses, and he barely supported his trembling voice and said, "I'm afraid that I have some kind of emergency...... Find a few rough eunuchs to pick up the ...... Don't make a big deal about it! Ah Cai listened, and then stumbled out. But it's easier said than done for the eunuchs to be "unassuming"! In an instant, the pot outside was churning like porridge, and there was a shout, "Xia Guohan at the gate also strangled someone!" Yinren was anxious and afraid, just going around in circles, and said, "This ...... What to do, what to do......"

Zheng Chunhua's spirit calmed down, got up and went inside, took out a glass bottle and put it on the table, and was silent in thought. Yinren knew that she was going to commit suicide, so she was at a loss, and she just lowered her head and sighed. Zheng Chunhua poured out a few red pills, put them in the palm of his hand and groaned slightly, put them back again, glanced at Yinren affectionately, and said, "These red-crowned red, self-defeating...... I was ready for that day. This kind of thing has been going on for a long time, and there is nothing that does not leak. I thought to myself, if I can use it until you ascend the throne,...... I didn't expect it to come so early......"

"Auntie!"

Zheng Chunhua laughed miserably: "Now, I understand that I seduced you, and as soon as I die, you won't be able to wash it clean." As he spoke, his face was already full of tears, "Although I don't understand the things outside, it's just that you have been unhappy in front of Banzai in the past few years, what can't you see?" Or would you have been a prince for more than 30 years? If it weren't for the fear of affecting many people, it would have been ...... long ago Now add this matter, as soon as I die, how can you get it? These words pierced Yinren's heart and liver, and he sobbed: "I also saw through it, so I fought and fell into the sea - that is the case, it is better for us to die in one place, and have company on the road!" "Just twist the cork." Listen! Zheng Chunhua snatched it and said: "While the emperor hasn't started yet, you hurry up and go to your henchmen to discuss how to redeem it - find a few more brave people to come out to protect you, and prepare to deal with the big change!" She gritted her teeth and laughed as she broke the poison bottle, "You have a golden and precious body, learn from me?" …… What are we women worth? Left and right is a death, suicide or being chopped, I think it tastes the same! ”

Yinren looked at Zheng Chunhua in surprise. He and her **, but I like her dexterity and her appearance. Unexpectedly, she was so affectionate towards herself.

"Why don't you leave quickly?" Zheng Chunhua suddenly said angrily, "This is already a place of right and wrong!" Maybe this time I've already sent someone to get me! Do you want to make soup and splash mice, a nest of rats? ”

Yinren woke up like a dream, pulled out his feet and left, turned around suddenly at the door, gritted his teeth and said: "You have to hold on, I will try my best to save you!" After crossing this hurdle, there will always be a day to get ahead! ”

He was groggy and sleepwalker-like out of the Leng Xiang Pavilion, rode on a horse and walked not far, and sure enough, he saw a team of torches, and Zhang Wuge led people to the Leng Xiang Pavilion. Yinren lowered his head and thought about it, the master Wang Luo was not there, Zhu Tianbao and Chen Jiayou were difficult to get close to Kangxi, and this matter was unspeakable. Asking Yinxi for help is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger. Looking for the boss, he has always been unfriendly with himself; The third child never showed up again. After thinking about it, I had to turn my head and run to the Lion Park to find the fourth elder brother Yinzhen.

"The fourth brother will eat wine at the sixth brother's next night, and the wine will sink. This kid will be drunk like mud. I apologize to the prince on behalf of the fourth brother! When Yinxiang heard that Yinren was visiting late at night, he smiled and greeted the Lion Garden Stacked Cuixuan, let Yinren sit down on the kang in the big shed, and said with a smile: "- Look at the prince's bad look!" In this dark sky, why don't you even have a guard? This group of Sula eunuchs is becoming more and more unlawful, so they let the master walk around alone? ”

Yinren settled down a little, he understood that Yinxiang was Yinzhen's shadow, and everything was led by this "desperate thirteen lang". Knowing that Yinzhen was suspicious and refused to see him, he couldn't tell it, so he reluctantly smiled: "Lonely Taiguan, the night is cold and frosty, and I somehow went sleepy, I want to talk to you and the fourth child." Yinxiang saw that he was in a trance, and he knew what was going on, and secretly admired Yinzhen's meticulous work, so he smiled and said: "The prince naturally knows that although I am good with the fourth brother, my personality is different, and I have always poured beans from a bamboo tube!" I look at the prince's complexion, there must be something, you just say, everything is fine! Yinren was silent for a long time, and said with a deep sigh: "Brother, your straightforward and fast speech is respectable—what do you think of my treatment of you?" ”

"This, everyone knows - grace is as heavy as a mountain!" Yinxiang became more and more convinced that something was wrong, so he replied very sincerely, "How did the ninth and tenth brothers practice me that day?" Although it is the fourth brother who is blocking and protecting, if there is no prince to sympathize with me, I have no mother, and ten of them have died and five pairs! ”

Yinren saw that his eyes were aggressive, and he seemed to be still asking about his intentions, and he was silent for a long time, and suddenly knelt down on his knees, hid his face and choked, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, you have to save me!" Yinxiang was so shocked by him that he shook his body, stood up in astonishment with his back in his chair, and quickly knelt down and said, "Prince, are you going to break me to death?" Yinren cried: "Brother, I was plotted by someone, I'm afraid the catastrophe will not escape!" You have always been righteous, and you cannot stand idly by! ”

"How dare you sit idly by! Prince, if you have something to say, this is categorically unacceptable. Besides, it's not good for outsiders to see it-" Yinxiang made an idea in his heart, and asked pretending to be panicked, "You are now in the position of the crown prince, where did the word 'save' start." Yinren got up slowly, his face became more and more pale, and he said with tears: "There is a message from Huang Ama's side, I'm afraid it will ...... Depose me! His hands shook so violently that his whole body seemed to be crushed by a tremendous force. His words made Yinxiang also excited, and after a while, he shook his head and smiled: "There is no matter!" Yesterday morning, the emperor also issued a decree to reward you with "Ancient and Modern Books Collection" - none of the brothers have received this favor, so it can be seen that the holy family is still very good......"

This is the reason for asking from the side, but the matter of Leng Xiangting is difficult to talk about. Yinren muttered for a long time and sighed: "I don't even know the reason now." Anyway, someone has poisoned me: good brother...... If it's a false alarm, that's great; If anything—" "The distinction between the monarch and the minister has been decided. Yinxiang said angrily, "If there is really anything, the minister will naturally protect him with death, and even the fourth brother and I can guarantee for him!" ”

"I'll trust you, as well as the third and fourth. It's hard to say to anyone else. Yinren said, "Please do your best to maintain, although Yinren is incompetent, he is not an ungrateful person!" Yinxiang didn't really weigh the seriousness of the matter until this moment, and said hesitantly in his heart: "The minister does his duty, the younger brother does his brother's way, and he can't say the word 'grace'." Prince, you just have to rest assured, as soon as the fourth brother wakes up, I will tell him what you said. There is also the third brother, and I will also say, Zhu Tianbao and Chen Jiayou in your house, you go back and say it yourself-contact more people, in case there is something to protect together. It's a pity that Master Wang Luo didn't follow, long live the Lord is extremely important to his character and talent...... "I said a lot of words at the moment, and I heard the bell strike two o'clock, and it was ugly and timely, and Yinren resigned.

Yinxiang looked at him blankly, Fang wanted to go back to bed, and saw two yellow silk lanterns on the Jiuqu stone bridge in the distance, and the lanterns were written with the words "smoke and waves are cool", knowing that there was a will, thinking of the prince's words, Yinxiang's heart tightened, and he was just about to go inside to invite Yinzhen, when he turned around, he saw Yinzhen with Dai Duo, who was already standing at the door of the fence, and said: "Fourth brother...... You ......"

"I've been here for a while." Yin Zhen was as calm as a pool of water, standing on the stone steps with his back hand and staring, "Let's listen to what will and then discuss-that horse riding seems to be Li Dequan?" Seeing that he was calm and calm, Yinxiang felt a lot calmer, raised his eyes and looked, and said, "It's Li Dequan." It seems that tonight is a separate announcement, and even the chief steward has come out. ”

It was Li Dequan who came, and he dismounted in front of the gate of the Lion Garden steadily, and said to the doorman: "Please wake up the fourth master and the thirteenth master, there is a will." Yinxiang hurriedly greeted him and said, "I practice kung fu with the fourth master, and I haven't slept yet—please wait, let us open the middle door and fire the cannon to receive the order." ”

"The emperor has an order, no need." Li Dequan said, "Please take the order in the fence." Then the south side was settled, and when Yinzhen and Yinxiang knelt before and after, Fang Kai read:

Order: Yinren will not be allowed to drive unless he is edicted from now on. It was presented by Zhang Tingyu in the upper study. The eldest son of the Jin Emperor Yinzhen is the king of Zhijun, the third son of the emperor Yinzhi is the king of Chengjun, the fourth son of the emperor Yinzhen is the king of Yongjun, and the eighth son of the emperor Yinzhen is the king of Lianjun. The ninth son of the emperor Yinyu, the tenth son of the emperor, the thirteenth son of the emperor Yinxiang, and the fourteenth son of the emperor Yinbei of Jin. Chin this!

After reading it, he looked at Yinzhen and Yinxiang who were stunned and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the fourth master and the thirteenth master, the slave is going to ask An to receive the reward!" "Take a hundred taels of silver to give to Dequan - I and the Thirteenth Master are both poor brothers, and you don't like it." Yinzhen stood up, smiled and ordered, "Look at the tea!" ”

Li Dequan thanked the reward, but refused to receive the tea, and was about to resign in a hurry, and said in a mouthful of Baoding words: "The slave doesn't dare to delay, and he has to go back to pay the decree!" Get it another day! He looked at Yinzhen's smiling expression, and said with a smile: "The slave knows that the fourth master must want to ask the prince about it." At the end of the line, the slave really didn't know, and he didn't dare to inquire. ”

"You guessed wrong," Yin Zhen sneered, "He is the crown prince, and I will serve him as a master; It's not the crown prince, I treat him as a second brother - this is a long live thing, I can't ask about it. I just want to know, long live the day to come to the north of the Lion Park to see the wolf hunt, I don't know if I will come yet? ”

Li Dequan said with a smile: "I heard Lord Zhang say that the emperor is in a good mood, and he wants to hunt wolves tomorrow, so dare to come to the fourth master?" It's just that I heard that Banzai didn't give the minions this will. ”

"Hmm." Yin Zhen nodded, and said after a while: "You go." ”

Li Dequan went. It was the darkest and coldest time before dawn, when the cold stars were few, the frost leaves were gloomy, and a gust of wind was blowing, and the nearby pine forest was whistling, and the mournful cries of night owls gave people a sense of foreboding.

"Fourth brother," Yinxiang followed Yinzhen back to the garden to clear his fast, and asked as soon as he sat down, "What do you think is the origin of this matter?" ”

Yin Zhen looked at the dancing lamps and candles, and only shook his head for a long time and sighed: "I can't imagine that he can't exhaust his mental strength, he is still a dou who can't be helped!" It's a pity that Mr. Wu and Monk Wenjue are not there, so they can't listen to their opinions. "If you can't help it, you have to help it!" Yinxiang thought of the prince's kneeling, and said excitedly: "He has been a prince for more than 30 years, even if the black wind blows and the yellow snow falls, he is also the master!" This is the time to see the backbone! What crime did he commit, just a piece of paper that was scrapped! "Yinxiang!" Yin Zhen shouted categorically, "Don't cover your mouth, it's no better here than in the house!" ”

Yinxiang stopped, looked up at the outside of the courtyard, and said nothing.

"You're right, you have to help if you can't help it." Yin Zhen's gaze seemed to penetrate the wall, "As soon as the prince falls, he will bear the brunt of the disadvantage with you and me." Don't look at the third child, he is full of poetry every day, and his heart may not be reliable. Don't look at the boss and the eighth getting closer, and throw a piece of fat out, I'm afraid you will fight for me! Abolish the prince, more and more good shows! I don't want the prince to fall, first, if he falls, it will inevitably implicate us; The second is that it came too suddenly, and we didn't even have a ...... to prepare" At this point, he stopped, if he was too bottomed, it would be difficult to say even to Yinxiang. Yinxiang didn't pay attention to it, but felt that Yinzhen analyzed it thoroughly, but it was a pity that others still had fat to grab, but there was no share between him and Yinzhen! After thinking for a while, Fang asked, "Fourth brother, what should we do?" Yinzhen's face was gloomy and terrifying, and after pondering for a while, he called Dai Duo and asked, "I heard that you have placed a Zhuangzi in Chaoyangmen, do outsiders know about this?" ”

Dai Duo was up and down in his heart, and he didn't know what he was doing with this, so he hurriedly replied: "I bought it in the name of a relative, because it hasn't been sold yet, and I haven't dared to tell the master to know——"

"I don't interrogate you about this." Yin Zhen said gently, "I'll write a note, you take it back to Beijing, and let Gao Fu'er pay the silver, how much money is needed - this house is my reward for you." ”

"Master!"

"Don't be busy, I still have something for you." Yin Zhen said unhurriedly, "You have to leave tonight!" There is only one thing to do when I return to Beijing, and move Wu Sidao, Monk Wenjue, and all the Qingke staff to your village - now the situation in Rehe is unknown, and you can't help but guard against accidents! As for money, it can be left untouched for the time being. As he spoke, he got up, dipped his pen in ink, pondered for a while, and handed over a few lines to Dai Duo.

Dai Duo took it in a daze, and saw that in addition to the money on the top, there were also words "Dai Duo has cut off his family registration", he couldn't help but be surprised, stared at Yinzhen in amazement, and blurted out in surprise: "Naturalization? ”

"Yes, Naturalization!" Yin Zhen said coldly.

Dai Duo suddenly turned over and fell to the ground, his mouth grinned, and he cried hoarsely: "Please master avoid writing this!" Master...... When I was ten years old, I put a straw label on my head and sold myself to bury my father, and you saved my whole family...... Now you don't want me anymore? I...... What a citizenship paperwork! Master...... You are so ruthless, how ......" Yinxiang saw him crying sadly, and he was also eclipsed. Yin Zhen was very calm, and sighed slightly: "But you, who in my house didn't I pull out of the sea of suffering?" Otherwise, I would have asked someone else to buy it with money! Thousands of miles to build a long shed, all the feasts that will not be dispersed, why bother with children? This is just a precaution, if it's okay, I will naturally restore your family membership, you cheer up and do as I say! ”

After Dai Duo went out, Yin Zhen Fang turned his face to Yin Xiang and said: "My father is unfathomable, but he doesn't kill people easily, not to mention that the prince, you and I are his flesh and blood?" But things would rather go to the worst, these staff members in my house are the best of the best, in case it is not safe, and then want to search, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, protect them first, we are here to rest assured, fight to the death for the prince! ”

"It's my business to fight to the death!" Yinxiang said loudly, "It's still discussed before, and I'll take the lead!" ”

"Nope." Yin Zhen stiffened his face and said after a while, "This is exactly where I made a mistake - we did too much in the past." In fact, everyone knows it. We're the same thing, you're in front of the stage, I'm behind the scenes – it's a terrible plan! Yinxiang thought that this was indeed reasonable, so he said: "Then let's tear our faces this time and fight for the crown prince together!" ”

Yin Zhen was speechless, and only took a breath for a while, and said: "The weather is cold, such a big northwest wind, maybe it's going to snow!" ”

On the morning of the second day, the sky changed, first a cold drizzle, which stirred up the desolation of the lion garden, and then slowly turned into a snowstorm, and the stumps and leaves trembled, making a rustling sound. Yin Zhen originally thought that in such weather, Kangxi might not come, and he was just about to go over to thank him for asking for peace too early, when he saw the eunuch Wang Bao coming over to deliver the message: "The king of Yongjun does not need to ask for peace, and I will go to the lion park to watch the hunt." "Let's talk about tea, don't eat it, and go to the horse trail. As soon as Yinzhen waited for Wang Bao to leave, he immediately ordered someone to call his son Hongshi, Hongli and dozens of family guards to the front court, and said loudly: "This emperor appreciates his face and watches my family hunt wolves." It's a cold day, the emperor doesn't hesitate to take care of his body, what else do we have to say? You say that you respect me every day, and I think fighting for face for me is the best filial piety! According to the original method, you have to fight to kill the wolf, and you have to leave dozens of good wolf skins for the emperor - I will naturally reward you when the matter is over, understand? ”

Everyone agreed with a thunderous "chirp", and then greeted Yinzhen and congratulated her! Yin Zhen only smiled and ignored it.

When the time is right, Kangxi's imperial chariot has really arrived. Yinzhen's family had already finished neatly, and Baba was waiting at the gate of the Lion Park, kneeling to pick up the driver, listening to Li Dequan throw off the whip, and kowtow together and shout long live.

Kangxi was in a very good spirit, wearing a sauce-colored arrow robe, wearing a Shiqing Xuanhu cloak outside, his face was flushed, and he waved his hand in the car and said, "That's it." Fourth, how far is this from your Wai Wolf Earth City? ”

"Back to the emperor's words!" Yin Zhen bowed down and said, "It's about five miles." But the road is bumpy and difficult to drive. Erchen's mount Huang Lu'er is still given by the emperor, it is very stable, please move the emperor! ”

Kangxi said "um", jumped out of the car with Xing Nian's shoulder, rubbed his hands and smiled: "We are full of ancestors living in the north, and I like to hunt on this snowy day!" Seeing that the two brothers Hongshi and Hongli were in the year of Zongjiao, they were both with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, their faces were as white as the moon, and they stood beside Yinzhen with their heads held high with small waist knives, so they asked: "Is this my imperial grandson?" What's the name? Yin Zhen just said: "The big one is called Hongshi-" Hongli took a step forward and said loudly: "Don't dare to play on behalf of my father, my grandson's name is Hongli!" ”

Kangxi looked at Hongli in surprise, a seven or eight-year-old child, childish, quiet with a vigorous and heroic spirit, neat and neat, and unconsciously good, because he sighed: "If it is a small family, saying that grandpa doesn't recognize his grandson, and his daughter-in-law hasn't seen her father-in-law, what is it to say?" It's a pity that the state affairs are too busy, and the word 'family' is really difficult to take care of! ”

"The emperor's grace rain and dew are covered by the universe," Hongli replied, "This is 'Tianlun', the dragon controls the way of heaven, and it is not just a matter of licking calves!" ”

"Oh, oh?" Kangxi's overnight Jiao Si was driven clean by these "adult words" with a clear and childlike voice, and couldn't help laughing, stepped forward and patted Hongli on the shoulder, "Such a big person has such a big reason?" Ze is not as good as his own children and grandchildren, he can only be regarded as a good emperor, not a good grandfather, do you know? ”

"The one who is in the universe, the upper and lower four directions, the celestial, the past and the present!" Hongli replied loudly with wide eyes, "When the grandson is in the Liuhe, when he is in the holy way, he looks up to the emperor's grace, bows down to the honor, and receives the king's body and hair, and justice and private feelings are all in it!" ”

Kangxi's eyes lit up sharply, and he looked thoughtfully at the mountains that were gradually turning white in the distance, and said, "I don't want to ride a horse anymore, it's only four or five miles to the left and right, and I am walking to evacuate and evacuate." It is not advisable to look at the snow scene. As he spoke, he pulled Hongli and ordered everyone to follow, all the way, all the way to test this little emperor and grandson, to check his knowledge, to check his interests, and secretly surprised in his heart.
