"Who? Dare to stay in front of our dignified mansion! It's really unbelievable! "The arrogance of the voice in front of the Ying Mansion is no better than that of the officers and soldiers in the northern suburbs.

"Open your dog's eyes and recognize Your Highness." At this time, the twilight was getting deeper, and Yin Chenglian slowly walked up from the dark stairs of the night.

Suddenly, the arrogance of the guards disappeared, and was replaced by a respectful nod: "It turned out that His Royal Highness Cheng was here!" Hurry up, please come in, my lord has prepared a good banquet, waiting for His Royal Highness! ”

Yin Chenglian couldn't help but wonder a little, how could this guard be so discerning, and he said his title in one bite. However, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a second-grade civil official walking towards him, talking with the family members in Ying Chengzhao's mansion with a pleasant face, and Yin Chenglian suddenly understood in his heart. At present, it is the end of the year, and the status of Ying Chengzhao in the imperial court, I am afraid that the threshold of the gate of the Ying Mansion will be broken, and no one inside and outside the court will compete for flattery, even the Qingming ministers who disdain to be with them on weekdays have to hinder etiquette, worried that there will be no fish when the water is clear, so they also symbolically come to the Ying Mansion to walk around.

If the door is like a city, there is probably no other place than Yingfu that can afford these words.

"His Highness Cheng?" After this second-rank civil official recognized who the person who had just walked into the gate of Yingfu was, he couldn't help but be shocked, "Your Highness is here too?" ”

As soon as he finished asking, the civil official realized how unremarkable the word "also" was, and smiled awkwardly. Yin Chenglian glanced at him lightly, as well as the gifts received by the family members beside him, and replied without squinting: "The adults are also here." It seems that Yingfu is really a treasure of feng shui. However, His Royal Highness thinks that even if the sword goes sideways to ask God to ask the Buddha, he can't go in any temple on the side of the road to worship, and it will ruin people's luck. What do you say, my lord? ”

The civil official was thin-skinned, and he couldn't help Yin Chenglian's aggressive gaze, and he heard that Yin Chenglian was a foolish master early in the morning, so he didn't dare to say anything, and left in a hurry.

Yin Chenglian followed the family, walked through the lobby, glanced at the mountains of gift boxes and gift boxes, and the gold, silver, pearls and jade overflowing outside, and couldn't help but feel very depressed, and even cold.

"Yo! His Royal Highness Cheng has come down, sit! Ying Chengzhao sat on the front seat of a large table of banquets, and when he saw Yin Chenglian, he quickly got up and entertained enthusiastically.

Yin Chenglian glanced around the room and found that there were only a few servants serving tea and water, and then looking at Ying Chengzhao's prepared and confident look, he couldn't help frowning: "Do you know I'll come?" ”

Ying Chengzhao raised his hand and touched the two pinches of mustache, and laughed loudly: "His Royal Highness Cheng is so honorable, and I was invited by someone, how could I not know?" ”

"Huh." Yin Chenglian sneered, "Lord Ying is too modest. A fluttering word 'please' has taken so many innocent lives, it is really a pain in the face of His Highness! ”

Ying Chengzhao pursed his lips with a thick smile on his face, raised his hand and pointed to his seat: "Your Highness, please take a seat." Listening to His Highness's tone, it seems that he has misunderstood Xing? ”

"Ying Chengzhao, you and I don't say dark words, today I came to your Ying Mansion alone, I must have seen through your dirty hands. Tell me, what are you bringing me here for? Yin Chenglian didn't have a good face at all, and threw the words to Ying Chengzhao directly.

"Your Highness, please look at this dish." Ying Chengzhao suddenly pointed to a cold dish on the table inexplicably, "The shredded tofu in it is not yet cold." ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Yin Chenglian's expression was cold, and he had no patience in his words.

"I mean, Your Highness came down sooner than I expected. Moreover, much earlier. Ying Chengzhao waved his hand to the family on the side, and the family removed the cold dish that had not yet cooled, and Ying Chengzhao continued to say with a smile, "Some dishes, the timing is not right, and people are not blessed." ”

Yin Chenglian pondered for a moment, and then asked slowly, "Who are you talking about?" ”

"Your Highness thinks that Ying doesn't know His Highness's here?" As he spoke, Ying Chengzhao raised his finger and pointed to his head, and said with a smile, "Your Highness has done a good job in going south to help the people and quell the chaos." Coming to the door today, His Highness realized very quickly. Ying Mou doesn't know whether to praise His Highness's intelligence like the saint, or to praise His Highness's vision of employing people? ”

Yin Chenglian gritted his teeth, frowned, and said, "This is His Highness's business, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Ying Chengzhao suddenly let out a hearty laugh: "Your Highness may have forgotten, how did you return to the world's sight from that cold place that had been imprisoned for ten years?" Then let Ying remind His Highness, if I hadn't recommended His Highness to go south in front of the Holy Lord at that time, I'm afraid that at this moment, you are still fighting birds and feeding crickets in that empty shell that no one cares about! ”

Yin Chenglian gradually clenched his fists, and his voice squeezed out from between his teeth: "So, you want me to repay the favor?" His Highness tells you, wishful thinking! ”

Ying Chengzhao let out an unfathomable long laugh again, as if Yin Chenglian had said something funny: "Your Highness is really not good at listening to the sound outside the strings." Shouldn't you ask, why did Ying suddenly recommend His Highness, who had never been in contact with him, in front of the Holy Lord? ”

Yin Chenglian gritted his teeth tightly, and suddenly became stubborn and moved his gaze to the other side without talking. He minded in his heart, why his father had ignored him for ten years, but an outsider's words could impress his father. Is it the royal father and son who are as light as duckweed, or is the ruthless but prosperous person in front of him really have grace to the point of four or two thousand pounds?

"The person I recommend to go south, not you." Ying Chengzhao suddenly put away his smile, his face suddenly became solemn, and his voice sank, "It's Zhang Yueheng." ”

Yin Chenglian's eyebrows jumped, and he said uncertainly: "What's wrong with Old Ghost Zhang?" What do you want to do to him? ”

Ying Chengzhao glanced at Yin Chenglian with contempt, and said calmly: "At that time, the disaster situation in Yunnan was severe, and it was far away from the emperor of Tiangao. You don't know about this situation, do you? ”

Yin Chenglian was stunned for a moment, and after a pause, Mu Mu replied, "I did this matter." I naturally know the ins and outs. It is precisely because of this that the officials forced the people to rebel, and only then did they gather against the people to fall into the grass and harm one party. ”

"There are not many people in the DPRK who can use it." Ying Chengzhao's gaze suddenly became deep and quiet, and his tone was calm and terrifying, "I need someone who can mobilize troops, but is not moved by interests. Zhang Yueheng, who has been guarding an empty shelf for ten years, is the best candidate. ”

Yin Chenglian thought that he had heard it wrong, and he thought about it several times before he confirmed that he understood what Ying Chengzhao said just now. But then, he sneered: "Lord Ying has such a heart for the people!" ”

Ying Chengzhao glanced at Yin Chenglian lightly, and sneered not deeply: "The gap between the Son of Heaven and the people must always be connected by a bridge. It should be the wish of a certain life, nothing more than that. ”

Yin Chenglian felt sick when he heard this, twisted his brows and snorted sullenly: "Put away your high-sounding statement, my father is not here, no one will trust you and reward you for this!" Don't think that your mouth full of benevolence and morality can write off so many innocent lives in the northern suburbs! Since I, Yin Chenglian, have seen it with my own eyes, I will definitely ask for an explanation for them! ”

Ying Chengzhao quietly waited for Yin Chenglian to finish his generous speech, raised his eyes lazily, and snorted a chuckle in his nose: "Finished?" It was someone's turn to say it. I don't blame me for their deaths, I blame you. You could have stopped this. ”

Yin Chenglian told himself that he didn't have to take Ying Chengzhao's words seriously, but he still couldn't help but tremble: "You don't spray people with blood, what do you have to do with me?" ”

"You have a chance to save them, and more than once." A hint of fierceness flashed in Ying Chengzhao's deep eyes, and he said eloquently in Yin Chenglian's suppressed suspicious and surprised gaze:

"The moment you stepped into their room, you could have spotted the chains on their feet, or even the potholes in the ground. But you didn't, do you remember what you were doing? You are busy giving the prince's favor condescendingly, and you only care about giving food and clothing to the people with dignity, but you are completely blind to the dying people in a desperate situation. ”

Yin Chenglian was stunned, he was asked because he had never thought about it like this, he never knew that it was a careless and insincere act to visit refugees as a prince, let alone what consequences such an act would bring. He was in a trance for a moment, as if he had seen the bookshelf he had trusted so deeply collapse in front of his eyelashes.

"I ...... I'm not... I didn't ......" Yin Chenglian's brain suddenly went into chaos.

"Do you know why I let you see it all with your own eyes?" Ying Chengzhao brushed his mustache.

Yin Cheng was stunned in place and did not speak. Ying Chengzhao's eyes were full of fierceness for a moment: "Because even if you see it with your own eyes and experience it yourself, you can't do anything about it." You couldn't stop it at the time, and you couldn't save it afterwards. Your Highness Cheng, at this point, don't you really have a trace of consciousness? ”

Yin Chenglian's heart turned upside down for a while, his face became more and more gloomy, he gritted his teeth again and again, but he couldn't spit out half a word.

"I'll make you pay. I'll do it sooner or later! Yin Chenglian was stunned for a long time, and then squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth.

"The word price is not something that everyone can afford. Dare to ask Your Highness, do you have chips? Ying Chengzhao glanced at Yin Chenglian with contempt, "If you talk about status, Your Royal Highness is the eldest prince under the knee of the Holy Lord, and the first queen was so prosperous; If you talk about merit, His Royal Highness is not a hit, and the thing that goes south is done beautifully; If you talk about fame, Your Highness is at least upright and pure. But let me ask, is there anyone available in the hands of His Highness? Do you have the troops to assist His Highness in his accomplishment? How many of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty surrendered their goodwill to His Highness? ”
