Chapter 49: The First Taste of Sorrow (3)

Since Dai Duo met Yinzhen on the road, after several thoughts, he finally made up his mind. Reading // Dai Duo is a smart man, he understands that the fame of jumping into the Longmen Bureau with scientific research is good, but the world is unpredictable on the scientific field, such as the story of the Jiangnan Gongyuan, and the people are so troubled that they want to carry the statue of the saint of Confucius to parade through the street to show their dissatisfaction with the fraud in the scientific field. He is a cold Confucian, there is no way out, and there are many uncertain factors to jump over the dragon gate. And Yinzhen is sensitive and studious, very knowledgeable, is the best among the emperor's elder brothers, supplemented may not be able to fulfill his wishes, so he gave up the scientific examination and followed Yinzhen wholeheartedly. Yinzhen donated a six-grade household head title to Dai Duo through Nuo Min's help, and asked Prince Yu to carry Dai Duo into the white flag of the Han army. Dai Duo is grateful to Yinzhen, if he takes the road of serious imperial examinations, even if he ranks in the top three tripods, he will only put a six-grade Hanlin Academy compilation, and other decent sub-jinshi are considered high from the seventh rank.

Yinzhen also discussed the matter of Concubine Tong with Dai Duo, and there was a lot of resentment in his words, Dai Duo looked at Yinzhen, chuckled, and said: "Fourth master, the emperor has not been crowned because of you." ”

"Because of me?" Yin Zhen asked puzzled.

"The fourth master should have studied the article "Zuo Chuan - Ten Years of Huan Gong", and there is a sentence in it that is guilty, does the fourth master know what to explain?" Dai Duo asked again.

Yin Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Dai, do you mean that I am the mother of the emperor?"

Dai Duo said: "The fourth master is smart, in one sentence, although the metaphor of the slave is not appropriate, but the truth is not bad. The fourth master is now the emperor's holy family, eating Beizi Shuangfang, the only one among the elder brothers, it is foreseeable that two years later, when the fourth master is divided, Baylor's title is indispensable. And the two things that the fourth master dealt with in the first two years of Itmugen and the history books, he was brave and knowledgeable, and he upheld the law and discipline without offending the prince, which won the applause of the government and the opposition, and increased the weight of the fourth master in front of the emperor, but the emperor was also not at ease with the fourth master because of this. Reading //"

Yin Zhen said: "Go on." I couldn't help but be shocked by what Dai Duo said, but in fact, I vaguely felt it.

Dai Duo continued: "The crown prince is the successor of the emperor's sacred heart, but so far, he is only in the middle of the rules, but the fourth master is showing his edge, how can the emperor not worry? If the reputation of the fourth master is growing, it is inevitable that he will not be suspected of taking the crown prince instead, and the prince himself is weak, if he is unable to control the situation, how will the emperor be good? If you make the concubine Niangniang the queen again, the fourth master you are the adopted son of Tong Guifei, although you are not a concubine, but the son is also valued by the mother, and the threat of the fourth master to the prince will be even greater. Behind Concubine Tong is the Tong family, and the Tong family itself is a relative. Concubine Niangniang's father Tong Guowei has entered the study. Of course, the emperor was just to mix sand, it was to see the Suo Etu, the Pearl Party was too prosperous, and Xiong Cixu, Zhang Ying and other years were exhausted, Gao Shiqi was also a Hanchen, seven times over-moved, although he was ranked in the Taiwan Cabinet, but it was not enough weight, and this person was quite close to Mingzhu, and the emperor was not completely at ease with him, so he had this move. But now the situation is different, the minions are in the household department, and they can also see some Ming court edicts, if the minions are expected to be good, the emperor is afraid that the two factions of Suo Etu and Mingzhu will have to do it. If this is the case, wouldn't it be that Tong Guowei is the dominant faction, plus the queen and the fourth master, it is strange that the emperor of this party is not shocked. ”

Yin Zhen frowned and said, "How can I see that the emperor will dispose of Suo Etu, Mingzhu?"

Dai Duo was not in a hurry, took out a copy of the manuscript from his arms, and handed it to Yinzhen, Yinzhen looked at it, but it was the transcript of the imperial history Chen Zizhi who participated in the impeachment of Huguang Governor Zhang Wang for bribery at the beginning of last year, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Zhang's backstage pearl. Kangxi annotated on the notebook: "The Taoist profession is correcting the references." Zhang Wang is greedy, and no one dares to speak. Chen Zizhi is the only one who can participate in the impeachment, which is very commendable. ”

Yin Zhen couldn't help laughing, and said: "I have heard of this Zhang Wang's greedy reputation, and it is common sense for Huang Ama to deal with him, but in this annotation, there is not a single mention of Mingzhu?

Dai Duo said: "The fourth master is not in a hurry, these are all on the surface, can the fourth master know about Jackie Chan?"

Yin Zhen said: "Of course, the world-famous governor of Zhili, looking at the whole world, who else doesn't know." My master Gu Badai commented that this person was upright and upright, and he was an example of Wenchen's admonition to death, and even Huang Ama respected his character. ”

Dai Duo said: "Does the fourth master know that Yu Jackie Chan has the right to give the emperor's secret recital?"

Yin Zhen replied: "Although I can't know for sure, I can guess." Originally, the ground of Zhili is the most difficult to manage, and it is not uncommon to have the right to play secretly. ”

Dai Duo said: "Let me ask one more question, does the fourth master still remember Wang Weizhen?"

Yin Zhen said: "You are right, that Shuntian Mansion Cheng, Yu Jackie Chan, what is the relationship between Wang Weizhen and Mingzhu?"

Dai Duo replied: "The fourth master Shao'an is not impatient, wait for me to say slowly, this Wang Weizhen is a friend of Yu Jackie Chan's second son in the same year." ”

"Hmm" Yinzhen seemed to feel some veins, but it was not very clear.

Dai Duo said: "Wang Weizhen suffered a loss last time, more than half a year ago after Jackie Chan transferred to the governor of Zhili, the two had met once, from Wang Weizhen, Yu Jackie Chan learned that Mingzhu and Yu Guozhu were selling official affairs, so he secretly played the emperor and bluntly said, 'The official has been sold out by Mingzhu and Yu Guozhu'." ”

Yin Zhen was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect that Yu Chenglong would fire so directly at Dang Chaofu, and then he couldn't help but be suspicious, so he asked: "Since it is a secret performance, how does Mr. Dai know?"

Dai Duo showed a sinister smile on his face, and said, "The fourth master is really like a candle, and the slave is from Gao Yi. ”

Yin Zhen was even more puzzled and asked, "Gao Shiqi?"

Dai Duo said: "Exactly, the day before yesterday, the slave went to see Lord Nuo (Nuo Min has been promoted to the head of the household department), it happened that Gao Xiang was at Lord Nuo, Gao Xiang seemed to have inadvertently said this, in addition, Gao Xiang also said that the emperor also asked him, because he himself was the person recommended by Mingzhu, and Gao Xiang said that he also replied that Zhu and others were greedy at that time. The emperor asked him why no one in the court participated in the impeachment? Gao Xiang replied: "No one is afraid of death." ”

"What?" Yin Zhen couldn't help blurting out. "If the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if the minister is not secret, he will lose. Gao Shiqi has been a relative for many years, how could he leak such confidential information, doesn't he want his head? . ”

"Not only that, Gao Xiang also said that the emperor instructed him, Yan Chen: Can the power of Mingzhu be heavier than that of the four auxiliary ministers (referring to Ao Bai and so on)?

"This is the crime of deception, Gao Shiqi must be crazy. Yin Zhen muttered. Suddenly, as if a flash of inspiration flashed him, he said, "What if someone makes him breathe?"

Dai Duo smiled and said, "That's exactly what I said. Why did Gao Xiang reveal such a tone, the slave was very puzzled at first, but then he understood, the fourth master really thought clearly. I expected it to be the same as the fourth master, it must be the emperor's rumors. ”
