In the depths of the two longitudinal elm shades, the Thirteen Elder Brothers' Mansion under the shade of a row of courtyard walls is quietly located in the coal alley in the east of the imperial city. ()【 ] ~ Solid red and blue pillars, one foot and three points of the temple base, although it is a new mansion, but there are only some ordinary clan regulations, it is difficult to imagine that the owner of this mansion is the prince Yinxiang, who was deeply favored in the past. It was past noon, and it was still as peaceful and quiet as usual, far away from the dark tide and personnel disturbances of the capital.

The study room is a four-window sash with a cloister, which is equipped with a couch and can also be used for a guest rest. Since the beginning of the summer, Yinxiang's leg has improved slightly, has been able to walk, and for the doctor's instructions, must be careful to avoid the cold and move more, then I thought that although the square inch here is small, but the vision is cheerful, very clean and refreshing, not than the palace like a building, although tall and magnificent but dull and lifeless, so this month, he also insisted on moving from the main bed to study and live here, and he had no intention of seeing people. However, it was difficult for Zhao Jia's family, and he couldn't persuade him, and he was worried about his body, so he had to order someone to replace some necessary things from time to time, so as to save people from bothering him, and he was considerate and considerate.

In the afternoon, Zhao Jiashi heard Xin'er and knew that King Yong was coming, so he told a few words to the eunuch who was waiting in the house, and went down with Yinxiang's blessing, but Yinxiang's calm face showed joy, and it was rare to step out of the house and greet him outside the courtyard in person. When Yinzhen came, he brought a small bamboo basket, and he didn't bring anyone else, that is, the little eunuch Su Peisheng who carried him, and said hello. 【 ]

After rinsing the water in the tendon clay pot, and simmering for a while, the spout spit out smoke, and the room can smell the aroma of old tea. "Good tea! smell the smell and know that Lianggong is filial?" Yinxiang said, while taking off the purple sand hanging pot from the red clay stove, dipping it slightly, the tea cup in front of the two of them was full of red and even bright soup, take a closer look, and couldn't help laughing, "This Lianggong, last year, he asked for it, and it was difficult to cry in the letter, saying that it is not easy to get a high-grade Pu'er, and now he is retaining his post, but he has the heart to pay attention to this, it is really a loss to him." ”

After taking a sip as he spoke, Yinxiang thought about it and said, "It's really good for you to taste it." Eh, I'll just say that the people who have been taught by the fourth brother are really different, just the kind of temperament that does not like things and does not feel sad about themselves, and is not shocked by humiliation, but no one can learn it. ”

"No, in front of me, what do you mean. I see that this punishment is very useful to him, you see, he said that he got it from Yunnan, specifically to honor the thirteenth master, yes, there is nothing to do with me, a serious master. The corners of Yinzhen's mouth skimmed a trace of "righteous indignation", he took out a letter and handed it to Yinxiang, and raised his cup to himself, "Just this bite, I can be regarded as earning you." ”

"It's hard to bother him, so bother the fourth brother to turn his head and thank me?" Yinxiang couldn't help but laugh, and reluctantly replied. Just read the letter, and then think about it deeply, but I can't help but have some worries. Yinxiang returned the envelope to Yinzhen, and added some water to his cup, Fang said: "I just said this, I was happy to work hard at the beginning, and I was not worried about the punishment of the imperial court, but now it seems that someone in Sichuan Province is obstructing?"

"Unexpected. He is young and talented, and he is a master whose eyes are above the top and who acts in a bold manner, and suddenly he has the green eyes of the emperor, and a person with a smooth career like him, how many people have to move to the court? I warned him that it was useless, and it was useless to talk and talk in vain, he couldn't put it in his heart, so why not teach him to step on a few stumbling blocks outside, and then he would be willing to take it away. ”

"Well, Li'er is good. Having said that, Ke Lianggong is really a talent, but he can be a very useful person, and the fourth brother doesn't want to blame him too much. I look at this Sichuan Governor, it seems that he is not on good terms with Lianggong......"

"Do you know how this came about?"

"What's ......?" Hearing that the meaning of the words was a little wrong, Yin Xiangqi said, "It's not that I went to Suichuan to break into Ning Fanwei to rob and rob, and also killed a guerrilla. It's just that when he went, Yue Shenglong had already captured a few thieves, and Liang Gongdao returned to the office, teaching the governor to grab the pigtails and join him to avoid the battle. The Ministry of Officials discussed a dismissal and retention, thinking that the emperor had added grace, could it be that there were any joints here?"

"He has been in Sichuan for two years, and he has always been at odds with Yin Tai, and this Shangxian is not good for his spleen, but it is very good for him to deal with Admiral Yue Shenglong......"

"Is it Yin Tai? I forgot. Yinxiang suddenly remembered this name, and couldn't help interrupting, "I vaguely remember that he was a person who came out of the leadership of the Prince Zhuang under the red flag, and he was very famous in the Xining Army in his early years, and then rose from the commandery, and was in Shaanxi and Gansu before?

Qi Shiwu was transferred to the Criminal Department and took over Yunqing's errand, and he was transferred from the post of governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. The ability to govern is far less than that of Fan Shichong (then the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang) and Zhao Hongcan (then the governor of Liangguang). Yin Zhen shook his head with a sigh, and added at the end, "Nian Qianyao is just bullying him for being incompetent." The proposal to reclaim the people of the lake and the river is good, but if he does not hand over the questions to the governors and ministers, he will have 10,000 no. That's how I replied to him, and now I'm called the Constitutional Council, so I can remember this lesson!"

"This bright worker, what kind of person does he think he is, he has to provoke it. Yinxiang listened to Yinzhen's derogatory words, and couldn't help laughing and echoed, "Actually, it's no wonder that he is not to blame." Where can Yin Tai compare to the Fan family and the Zhao family, the family history of several generations of lords, he has survived from the last term of the general army over the years, and he is a martial artist in his bones. Knowing that he was playing with the Admiral, how could he buy his account?"

Yin Zhen glanced at Yin Xiang, and remembered that some time ago, he only knew about something in the ministry when he went to the ministry, and frowned and said, "The former Yue Shenglong borrowed 10,000 taels of silver from the Sichuan treasury in the hands of Nengtai (former Sichuan governor) and Fan Yongshi (former Sichuan political envoy), and when he was old last year, Nian Qianyao claimed to donate money to repay it on his behalf, but Yin Tai was not allowed, and the two were even more evil. This year, it seems that for the sake of the next Pengxi magistrate named Xu Xugong, he disagreed with the governor, and the lawsuit came to the ministry. ”
