This sentence made Lan Qi have an idea in her heart, and she settled down and said: "Silly son, E-Niang has already said something to you, of course you can fight, but you have to be upright." She helped Yinyu to get up, sat next to her son, held his big palm and said, "It's just that Eniang doesn't understand the government, whether you are or your fourth brother, if you come to Eniang when you encounter something outside, Eniang is afraid that she will not be able to give an idea." E-Niang's only ability is to be able to say a few words for you in front of Huang Ama, but only when you are wronged and wronged, E-Niang can come forward, like things like Mulan paddock, what face do you ask E-Niang to explain to you Amma? ”

Yinyu hurriedly said: "Eniang, I'm afraid there won't be a big problem in that matter, you see that the prince has been silent until now, and Huang Ama has probably forgotten about it a long time ago." I'm just being careful, I don't want the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother to involve me in case something happens. Something really happened, and the son also went to the emperor to confess his guilt in front of Huang Ama, no matter what, I didn't ask the prince to do those messy things, E-Niang doesn't have to worry. As long as ......," he paused, looked at his mother seriously, and said, "As long as I understand that E-Niang is fair to me and the fourth elder brother in her heart, I think I will be relieved." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "You say stupid things again, it has always been Eniang who loves you a lot." ”

Yinyu didn't know whether to believe it or not, and smiled like a child: "I quarreled with your daughter-in-law a few days ago, she said that I was confused, what to do to hide my heart from Eniang, the most reliable in the world is Eniang." He put his mother's shoulder on his shoulder and said, "Eniang, I won't hide anything from you in the future." ”

Lan Qi just responded with a smile, but in fact, she couldn't listen to what her son was saying for a long time, and now she is looking forward to talking to Xuan Ye, talking to Yinzhen, the youngest son is also her lifeline, even if she wants to help the emperor complete the great cause, she can't push the younger son to a dead end, if Yinyu is confused and confused, the mother must firmly pull him.

But a few days after that, the emperor was so busy in the Qianqing Palace that he forgot to sleep and eat, and none of the harem concubines were gone.

In addition to the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother, the prince of Shuncheng County, Bu Muba, Duke Puqi, Lai Shi, Changshi Alu, etc., were all convicted and imprisoned. On the second day of the first month of October, the emperor retried the case of Ling Pu's family property seizure in court, and the amount of the eighth elder brother played earlier was very different from the actual amount of his family property, which confirmed their crime of corruption, and involved more than a dozen large and small officials.

The eighth elder brother did not refute himself from beginning to end, he confessed to whatever crime the emperor gave him, and he accepted bribes to enrich his own pockets, not to mention these two things, he is not in a hurry to seek temporary innocence at the moment, he has to make a more long-term plan.

What makes the eighth elder brother the most stubborn is that in the past few years, the emperor has asked for silver, and he has taken the officials to do it properly, and now Moxi is planning to be arrogant and Alabutan is sharpening his knife, and Tsarist Russia is provoking again, and the forces against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty are constantly breeding in various places, and the imperial court's military spending will be insufficient sooner or later, and he will inevitably have a place to play.

In this way, everyone looked at the eight elder brothers' party, raising stolen money and returning it to the imperial court within a few days, and the eight elder brothers' mansions almost bankruptly made up the amount of money the emperor explained, in the early years, when the emperor visited the mansions of the elder brothers, he once said that the old eight families were too simple, but he had not seen the later magnificence, and now overnight, it has changed back to the previous appearance. On the day the stolen money was handed over as scheduled, the Mao family gave birth to a baby girl, and Ba Fujin looked at the female doll with a dull expression and said, "Poor child, if you had come a few years earlier, you would still have enjoyed your happiness." ”

But how can the eighth elder brother really dig out the bottom of the family, just imagine, if after handing over the stolen money, the life in the eighth elder brother's mansion is still prosperous, then he is really asking for his own death, is it possible to wait for the emperor to come to find out where the money comes from, no matter how to hold the tail for a while, there is always food to eat at home.

In the late autumn of this year, it was destined to be turbulent, the prince was once trapped outside the stable, the eighth elder brother went bankrupt again, the weather was getting colder and colder, people felt that it was time for peace, this storm should pass, but I didn't know that there was another big event, waiting for someone.

Now that the crown prince has fallen, the eighth elder brother has been suppressed, the thirteenth elder brother has been punished for thinking about it behind closed doors, the fourth elder brother has been unsatisfactory in recent years, and because the fourteenth elder brother has been somewhat implicated in the fault of provoking the emperor, several princes who have always been eye-catching have been hit to varying degrees, and the court is in a bleak situation.

In contrast, the eldest brother who was robbed of the glory of the eldest son by the prince in the early years, and was later compared by the younger brothers, and the eldest brother who was unhappy everywhere actually retreated in this matter.

The third elder brother has an introverted personality, even if he has flowers and intestines in his stomach, he will never show it easily. But although the eldest brother is thirty-seven years old, the so-called three-year-old is set for life, he has not changed his temper since he was a child, but he has not been satisfactory in recent years, and he has only slightly converged.

In early October, after liquidating the stolen money returned by the eighth elder brother, the eldest elder brother went to the inner palace to ask his mother for peace in a hurry.

Seeing his son telling him those things in high spirits, he couldn't help but persuade: "Don't be too proud, it's not that you have done good things to make the emperor value you, but that they have done wrong things and have lined you out." What do you have to be proud of, your emperor Ama is the most unsightly to see his tail cocked to the sky, not to mention that you have not put much effort into it, and you have done those unsightly things, don't provoke your emperor Ama to come back and check on you. ”

But the eldest brother said to his mother triumphantly: "Eniang, I'm almost forty years old, can I still be disproportionate?" Do you know what Huang Ama said to me today, he patted me on the shoulder and said, I want to be good in the future, don't let him down again, you see the meaning of this, you still don't understand? ”

Concubine Hui said coldly: "What do you mean?" It's because you want this result that you come up with those meanings. According to me, he just gave me an instruction. ”

The eldest brother said disdainfully: "But right now, who else can Huang Ama say such things to." ”

Concubine Hui snorted lightly: "Yonghe Palace has not offended the emperor, Concubine De is still a person who can enter and leave the Qianqing Palace freely, don't you want to think about it, she won't seek a future for her son?" ”

The eldest brother touched the beard on his chin, thought for a long time and said, "Tell me, he and the others think that Concubine De is different from you. ”

Concubine Hui was puzzled, and her son continued: "They all think that the old fox spirit of the Wu Ya clan only wants to slap Emperor Ama wholeheartedly, why do you think you and Concubine Yi are not treated by Emperor Ama?" Because you worry about the future of your sons, but she is different, she doesn't care about her sons' future at all. In the past few years, the fourth child has been unsatisfactory, can she mention a sentence and a half in front of Huang Ama? She is much more selfish than you, so she is treated by the emperor. Now in this situation, it was her youngest son who almost killed Huang Ama to death, what kind of face do you think she has to plan for them? ”

These words are reasonable, but far-fetched, Concubine Hui knows that her son is too proud, but for some reason, she also agrees with this statement, but if she changes some sentences, it can be in line with her heart, such as Concubine Rong said to her earlier that the emperor is the most important person in Concubine De's heart.

"Eniang, when I become the emperor, I will rebuild Cining Palace and let you enjoy your old age in peace." The eldest brother smiled from ear to ear, and even said that he had children and daughters under his knees, and he didn't even need to worry about the heirs, although Concubine Hui repeatedly advised him to keep a low profile, but the eldest brother still said, "I have been aggrieved for more than 30 years, even if it's just for a few days?" Eniang, you make me happy and happy. ”

Concubine Hui is already a person with white hair under her head, where can she persuade her son who is almost forty years old, and she persuaded her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law a few words, but in the days that followed, seeing that the emperor really valued his eldest son, and her son was also able to do it steadily with the support of the ministers, she gradually relaxed her vigilance. Thinking that the emperor had abolished the crown prince anyway, according to his temper, he would not bring up the matter of establishing the prince so quickly, but his son would not have anything to do with this time, and a few days later, even the faint worry in his heart was dissipated.

And after a violent storm, everyone is tired, and the bleak recession of the court, one is that there are too many people who have been punished and implicated, and the other is that everyone has no strength to toss anymore, and the emperor who is nearly sixty years old is so tough to carry it again and again, and even the young princes and ministers are no longer able to do it.

When the stolen money of the eighth elder brother and the party was liquidated, Yinzhen Fu was idle at home, and he also counted his family's property, and the origin of all the property was clearly recorded, Yuxi helped him cook very cooperatively, and joked from time to time: "Do you want to check my mother's family too, lest you suspect me of hiding private money and send it home." ”

There is a wife on the side to laugh and explain, Yinzhen's tense heart is somewhat relaxed, that day from the Qianqing Gate Chaohui returned, just with the family to invite the doctor to the door together, the next person let the doctor go from the side door, Yinzhen said that there is no need to trouble those rules, let the doctor enter the door with him, asked who was sick, as soon as he heard that Yuxi was not good, everyone immediately ran in.
