Yinzhen and Prince Yu had just finished their errand and were about to return to the camp to pay the order, but before they walked out of an hour, they were informed by the guards who came from Pegasus that the emperor had learned the news of Tuhai, and ordered Prince Yu to return to the palace temporarily, and the fourth elder brother to return to the palace to wait. Reading the book// And the two also heard from the guards who passed the decree that as Prince Yu expected, the emperor was very sad when he heard the news of Tuhai's death, and told the ministers who accompanied him: "I have lost a share of my humerus from now on." And announced that he would drive back to Beijing immediately, and he would personally pay tribute to Tuhai. At the same time, he ordered to give Tuhai the title of Wenxiang, give the prince Taibao, the first-class Zhongda Duke, and enjoy the Taimiao, and at the same time ordered Tuhai's son-in-law Nuo Min to inherit the first-class dukedom and seal the minister. This kind of mourning, since the beginning of the Xi Dynasty, no one can match.

When Yinzhen heard the news, he also felt a lot of emotion. Meritocracy such as Tuhai, the grace of two generations of emperors such as Tuhai, Tuhai has countless legends in his life, self-writing style (eight official Zuo, almost not into the stream) all the way to the sky, from the waiter to the palace of the university scholar, between a few days, more than ten levels, so long, only the current minister of the study Gao Shiqi's seven moves a day can be compared with it. But even so, in the more than 20 years of ups and downs in the Huan Sea, there have been two ups and downs, and even once in prison and today I don't know about the Ming Dynasty. His fate is completely in the hands of the emperor, and it is pitiful to think about.

This is lucky, another major hero of the conquest of Wu Rebellious, Zhou Chang Zhou Peigong, was summoned to enter the palace the day after welcoming Tuhai in the suburbs of Kangxi, and the government and the opposition generally thought that with Peigong's meritorious service, imitating the example of Fan Wencheng in the early Qing Dynasty, Feng Jing Qi Ni Hafan (Earl), the most unfortunate can also be awarded to the governor, open the teeth to build a mansion. I didn't want to, but after playing it right, I was only promoted by two levels, and I was awarded the official position of a third-grade Sichuan political envoy, and I had to leave Beijing to take up my post within three months. Everyone was shocked, but Yinzhen could probably understand Kangxi's intentions.

Tuhai's exploits are brilliant, and the government and the opposition are highly respected. Judging from a certain situation, there is also a tendency to be a high-ranking town owner. Reading the book// If Zhou Peigong is reused, or Zhou Peigong is appointed as a local governor to supervise the army, then even if Tuhai does not have the heart to form a party, his party will be self-contained. Moreover, Zhou Peigong is still a Han who has not entered the flag, and the first emperor has a saying in his edict that he is close to Hanchen, and if Zhou Peigong is rewarded, it may also arouse the criticism of the Manchurian relatives and nobles in the court. Out of these considerations, Kangxi sent Zhou Peigong away from Gyeonggi and went to Sichuan to serve as the secretary of the domain. Although this position belongs to the local chief, there is a governor and a governor to supervise, and there is no military power, even if there is a storm, an edict can solve the problem.

Yin Zhen choked for Zhou Peigong, he knew that it was precisely because his ambition was nowhere to be repaid, Zhou Peigong died of depression when he was in his prime, although Kangxi regretted it but also gave a lot of grief after his death, but people have died, even if there is more glory, what is the use? Talent is only used when it is time, and does not know how to cherish and protect, there will be a tragedy like Zhou Peigong. This is the case in the Qing Dynasty, and there are many examples of this in modern society, Yin Zhen sighed in his heart.

Prince Yu saw that Yinzhen had been stunned for a while, thinking that this little brother was still indulging in the emotions when he sacrificed in Tuhai just now, so he said: "Fourth, don't think too much, it's sad." ”

Yin Zhen shook his head, and couldn't say what he thought to anyone, so he could only hide it: "My nephew misses the emperor's mother." ”

Prince Yu smiled and said, "It's no wonder, it's been a few days since you left home this time, and your mother must also remember you." I'll send you back to the palace. ”

After Fuquan sent Yinzhen back to the palace, he returned to the house on his own without mentioning it.

Yin Zhen returned to Zhong Quan Palace, and just met Tong Guifei, before Tong Guifei had time to take a good look at her adopted son who had just rushed back, the deputy chief eunuch Gao Qun broke in angrily, fell to the ground and said, "Master Niangniang, something is wrong." ”

Concubine Tong said angrily: "What's so urgent, you don't even understand the rules, and you don't say hello when you see the fourth master?

Gao Qun secretly screamed badly, although this fourth master is young, he is not easy to mess with, and now the saint is in full swing. After asking for peace in a proper manner, he returned to Concubine Tong and said, "Master, the slave panicked just now, this is damned." However, something big happened in the palace. ”

Concubine Tong frowned and said, "What's wrong, let's be clear." As he spoke, he motioned for Yinzhen to sit down on the kang next to him.

Gao Qun said: "Xinku Palace people Wei, adultery with people without permission, 10 months ago gave birth to a small, stay in the palace, yesterday Concubine Hui Niangniang lost some softness, the master ordered in the big inner survey, heard the baby crying in her room, only to find the little thing in her room, under torture, she didn't say. ”

Concubine Tong's brows furrowed even tighter, and she said, "Did you do such a foolish thing with which guard?"

Gao Qun replied: "The slave also has this suspicion, but she just gritted her teeth and didn't say anything, the slave wants to ask the master to show it, how to deal with it?"

Concubine Tong thought for a moment and asked, "In the past, how did you deal with this kind of pickled rice according to the rules?"

Gao Qun replied: "The Xinku people are the royal flag slaves, and when they encounter such unruly people, they will be pulled out and killed with a cane, and that evil seed will be thrown outside to feed the dogs." ”

Yin Zhen was shocked when he heard this, he knew some of the history of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, especially interested in the kings of the Kangxi Dynasty, in his impression, there was a person, a very important person, and Xinku had a lot to do with it.

Concubine Tong also couldn't bear it, and said, "Isn't it a bit too much to deal with it like this?"

Gao Qun said with a flattering smile: "Master, it's not that the slave is talkative, the emperor is now favoring the master, the status in the harem, the master is also unique, and even the affairs of the harem, the emperor also specially instructed the master to act as an agent before he left." The master is kind-hearted, and the slave knows, but the master will have a day in the middle palace in the future, and he will be in charge of the harem, which requires a thunderous wrist. ”

Concubine Tong said angrily: "You slave, you are really going back more and more, can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing?" Beware that the emperor heard it, and immediately let the Jingshifang roast you alive first." ”

Gao Qun still looked flattering: "The slave knows, isn't this chewing his tongue in front of the master, the master has always felt sorry for the slave." ”

Tong Guifei said: "You still talk about it, I think you really should slap your mouth." ”

Gao Qun finally shut up.

At this time, Yin Zhen interjected: "Huang Eniang, the child has something to say to you alone. With that, he glanced at Gao Qun coldly.

Gao Qun also knew each other and obediently retreated.

Yin Zhen said: "Huang Eniang, Erchen feels that what Gao Qun said just now is very strange. ”

Concubine Tong looked at Yinzhen with some surprise and asked, "What's wrong?"
