As soon as Tong Guowei saw the instructions, he immediately realized that now is the best time to present Guo Xiu's first recital, and Guo Xiu's recital at this time will only add fuel to Kangxi's anger. Reading the book// So the next day he presented the recital, sure enough, Kangxi's anger did not subside, and when he saw the concert, he asked Li Dequan to pass Guo Xiu in, but he didn't see him, but he just passed the edict to punish him for kneeling outside the south study and thinking about it, and he couldn't get up without following the holy edict. According to Tong Guowei's experience, Guo Xiu will be dismissed from office at the lightest.

On this day, Yinzhen was also hurriedly passed by Kangxi to see the driver, he couldn't suppress the anxiety in his heart, although Tong Guowei promised to take care of him, but there has been no news these days, and he is also blocked because he can't go out because he has to wake up for Queen Tong every day, and he doesn't know how Kangxi plans to end this matter. He didn't know how to defend himself, but he made up his mind that he must find a way to keep Dai Zi for the Qing Dynasty. Far away from the south study, I saw a person kneeling upright, wearing a top on the ground on the side, Yin Zhen thought that it must be some unlucky courtier who committed the holy face, Kangxi was not angry, and he would not openly let the minister kneel, although the punishment may not be heavy, but it made the punished person lose face. When I got closer, I saw that the soap-colored mourning dress was the complement of the crane, and I was even more surprised.

Seeing Yinzhen walking over, Li Dequan hurriedly greeted him and greeted him with a smile. Yin Zhen asked in a low voice: "Gonggong Li, who is this minister who is waiting for the driver?" Although Yin Zhen knew that this was the minister's punishment, he refused to make it clear, and only asked vaguely.

Li Dequan lowered his voice and replied: "Fourth Master, you are so kind, that is Lord Guo Xiu Guo of the Zuodu Imperial History." Today, when the emperor saw a copy of his excerpts, he was furious, and asked the servants to call him and ordered him to think about it here. Forgive the slave for talking too much, the fourth master should be careful when he goes in today, the emperor is not in a good mood now. ”

Yinzhen smiled and said: "Yinzhen confessed, this is a little meaning, Gonggong Li took it and drank tea." He took out a square-folded silver ticket from his sleeve and handed it over. Li Dequan's smile became even stronger, and he said continuously: "Thank you for the reward of the fourth master." When I turned around and unfolded it, it was actually Zhang Bailiang's leading ticket, and I couldn't help but have a little more affection for Yinzhen in my heart. Reading//

Yinzhen doesn't care about these silver, since he received the title, he was rewarded with a double share of silver, and in the past, Queen Tong would often take some of his own volume of silver to Yinzhen, telling him that Brother can't have no silver around him, and he must have a master when rewarding slaves, so Yinzhen has always been generous to the subordinates who serve him in the palace. And Dai Duo also had the foresight to help Yinzhen buy some properties in the suburbs of Beijing in his own name, and he also had an annual income of 50,000 silver. Yinzhen understands a truth from modern experience, in order to let others help him to do things with all his heart, it is absolutely not enough to have verbal friendship, there must be something substantial, and the function of silver in this era cannot be underestimated.

Knowing that Guo Xiu was punished, Yinzhen's confusion decreased slightly, and he knew that Tong Guowei's arrangement must have played a role. So, straightening up his clothes, kneeling down, and said loudly: "Erchen Yinzhen is waiting for the order." ”

I heard Kangxi reply inside: "Come in." "It sounded calm, and there was not a hint of a storm coming.

Yin Zhen's heart that he had just put down suddenly rose again, he knew that according to Kangxi's temperament, the closer he was to a major event, the more calm he had. When I entered the south study, I saw Kangxi standing next to the desk with his hands behind his back, without saying a word. Yin Zhen was a little trembling, put down the horseshoe sleeves, and asked for peace as usual. Kangxi didn't scream, and Yinzhen didn't dare to move, but he was a little panicked in his heart.

After a while, Kangxi sighed and said, "Yinzhen, do you know who is kneeling at the door?"

Yin Zhen replied: "If you return to the emperor's words, the sons don't know. ”

Kangxi slowly turned around, looked at Yinzhen deeply, and said, "He is Guo Xiu, the imperial history of the left capital." Do you know why I punished him?"

Yin Zhen was stunned by Kangxi's sharp eyes, and immediately tried his best to control his mind to calm down, and replied: "Erchen doesn't know." ”

Kangxi said coldly: "I don't know." What did you do, do you really not know?"

Yinzhen can't say that he doesn't know at this time, otherwise it will be really troublesome to be accused of being a bully. But he can't just admit it if he doesn't figure out the situation, and he doesn't think he's at fault for this matter. So he hurriedly lowered his head and said: "The son is stupid, there must be something that is not in line with Huang Amma's wishes, please teach Huang Ama a lesson." ”

Kangxi took a notebook on the case, threw it down, and said, "Look at it yourself." ”

At a glance, Yinzhen saw that it was Guo Xiu's participation, and he knew it in his heart. After reading it in a hurry, he said: "If Erchen returns to Huang Ama, Erchen did save Dai Zi's life, and he did give him some silver taels to help him settle in the inn." However, Erchen did not deliver the message to the Criminal Department, nor did he do anything that violated the law of the country. Erchen thinks that it is right for Erchen to save people, and to be courteous and affectionate. If the Criminal Department fails to deal with it in a timely manner because of the obstruction of the son's ministers in this matter, please ask Huang Ama to investigate the responsibility of the Criminal Department. But Erchen thought that there was something to discuss in this matter. Dai Zi's conviction is all a rumor, and there is no evidence. The sons and daughters listened to the history of the masters and knew that the Japanese had been harassing the waters of Zhejiang in the pre-Ming period, burning, killing, plundering, and doing all kinds of evil, and the sons could not help but have doubts, could it be that the Japanese people had made a plan to divide the world? Dai Zi had made great contributions to the imperial court, and he was a rare talent, and the sons implored the emperor to think twice. ”

Kangxi changed color as he said this, and reprimanded: "Presumptuous, how old are you to talk about the government? How many books have you read? What history do you know? Who is Dai Zi and how to deal with it, don't I know?"

Yinzhen was neither humble nor arrogant: "Huang Ama once taught his sons and ministers to study more and participate in political affairs more when he was hunting a few years ago. Erchen did not have a few elder brothers who were knowledgeable and thoughtful, but they did not dare to disobey the teachings of Emperor Amma. As for how to deal with Dai Zi, he also asked the emperor Ama to make a judgment, but the sons and ministers are both sons of men and ministers, so they should know everything about the emperor Amma. ”

Kangxi didn't laugh angrily, and said, "So, I asked you to do this?"

Yin Zhen felt the meaning of Kangxi's words, kowtowed, and said: "Erchen doesn't dare to disobey and collide with Huang Ama." ”

Kangxi was silent for a long time, and said: "I am also a person who loves talents, but Dai Zi has his ability, but he concentrates on obscene skills, and it is not the right way after all." Moreover, it is precisely because this matter involves the Japanese people that I cannot but be cautious. There are some things that can only be trusted. For him, I have already made a will, according to the law, he should be sent to Shengjing to be guarded by General Shengjing, and after the amnesty, it can be regarded as a seizure of office. I have left him in the care of Prince Yu, and you should not associate with him for the time being. ”

Yin Zhen was already overjoyed, and handed it over to Prince Yu, which was no different from handing it over to him himself, and hurriedly knelt down and thanked him: "Son, thank Huang Ama!"

Kangxi said in a deep voice: "I fell to Guo Xiu, not because he was wrong with you, I handled it like this, I saw it in front of Empress Xiaoyixian, of course, it was also because Guo Xiu had other things." I promised the Empress to take good care of you. But I am not a deceitful king, a deceitful father. If you really didn't take care of this matter, how could you be so familiar with Dai Zi's case file? If it weren't for the fact that you really had good intentions to save people in front and stayed behind for the community, even if you had the entrustment of Empress Xiaoyixian, I would never spare you. Do you hear me?"

Yin Zhen secretly stuck out his tongue and said in his heart: "It seems that Kangxi really didn't cover it, so it's better to be careful in the future." ”

Yin Zhen then knocked: "Huang Ama's lesson has been written down. The minister is indeed at fault in this matter, thank you Huang Ama for protecting the ministers so much. It's just that Guo Xiu has a reputation for loyalty and integrity, if it's because of the affairs of his sons, please ask the emperor Ama to pardon him. It should be punished by the sons. ”

Kangxi said: "Guo Xiu's sin lies in his insincerity. No matter what the facts are, as long as he is a noble and important minister, he will strictly participate in it. What is this? It's called name-seeking. It is the name of loyalty and righteousness, and I am deeply hated. And he was also suspected of venting his personal anger in another case, so I had to let him reflect on it. ”

Yin Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Erchen still has a few words, please ask Emperor Ama Xu Erchen to spit it out." ”
