Chapter 172: Southern Tour (3)

Standing on the side of the ship, looking at both sides of the river, in the distance, there seemed to be a touch of red, which was a few peach blossoms that were somewhat remnant, and some of them had been submerged in the water. Reading the book// Yin's heart thumped, and recalled two lines of poetry: Don't laugh at this time with less color, and compete for another spring. This is attached to the mud seal of the wine jar of peach blossom wine that his master Gu Badai gave back to him.

When he first learned that Master Gu was resting, Yin was quite surprised, and after inquiring, he heard that Master Gu was trying to help him fight for the throne so that Kangxi did not like it, and immediately ordered him to retire, which really made Yin feel sour. The courtiers knew about Gu Badai, and some people took the opportunity to fall into the well and participate in the impeachment, but they were left in the middle by Kangxi, but they just made a decree that Gu Badai should return to study at home. Knowing that Master Gu was suffering from lung fever at the turn of winter and spring, Yin? specially prepared a few nourishing herbs such as cordyceps sinensis and astragalus, and personally sent them to Master Gu's house, but unexpectedly ate a closed door.

Soon after the housekeeper of the Gu Mansion went to report, he returned with an apologetic look and told Yin, "Forgive me Lord Belle, since my family is ordered to study, it is inconvenient to see any more guests." I received a few supplements from Lord Baylor, and I specially ordered the small one to give back the peach blossom wine brewed by the adults in this jar. After that, he held a small jar of wine with both hands to Yin?. Qin Shun, who was waiting beside Yin, wanted to take it, but when Yinshan saw the solemnity of the housekeeper, his heart moved, and he took it himself.

When pressing the sedan chair for Yin, Qin Shun also muttered: "The peach blossoms haven't bloomed yet, bare, where did the peach blossom wine come from? I'm afraid that Master Gu didn't take last year's old wine and give it to the master? The floral fragrance in the taste is much lighter." Reading the book// "Yin? Although he was a little suspicious, he still scolded Qin Shun for talking too much. Sitting in the warm sedan chair, Yin only realized that on the red clay sealed paper of the wine jar, there were two lines of small characters, that is, "Don't laugh at this time with less color, and fight the branches for another spring". After reading it twice, I actually had the meaning of hiding my head: Don't fight, don't fight! Is this the advice that Master Gu left for himself? Chewing on the fourteen words carefully, Yin? As if he had a new understanding, he had gained something from hibernation for a while. For example, like peach blossoms, even if you look at the emptiness of the branches at this time, when the spring breeze blows, the blooming scene can not be compared with the flowers next to it?

"Fourth brother, did Huang Ama answer you?" Yin's train of thought was disrupted by the sudden sentence of the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang. Looking at Yinxiang, who was a little anxious behind him, Yinxiang smiled helplessly and said, "Huang Ama guessed a few of your thoughts, but he still responded." Yinxiang showed excitement, and just wanted to speak, but was poured cold water on Yinxiang: "It's just that you have to have the appearance of running an errand, but you are not allowed to put on the pomp of the emperor's brother to press the courtiers who are doing things below." Otherwise, you'll have to go back to the ship for me to hold on. Yinxiang saw that Yinxiang said seriously, but he didn't dare to smile anymore, and said solemnly: "The little brother has written it down, and he will not disappoint Huang Ama and the fourth brother." Yinxiang nodded and asked, "Where are the eighth brother and the fourteenth brother?" Yinxiang still couldn't hold back, showed a bad smile, and said: "The starling brother and the fourteenth have been waiting for a long time, and the two of them are a little afraid of the fourth brother." You always look like a poor color, how dare they urge the fourth brother like my little brother and me?" This sentence made Yin? couldn't help laughing, and said: "You are afraid of me, God is pitiful, I am afraid that you group of younger brothers who are always calculating me behind my back." ”

Hearing that the ministers of the river had gathered in Huai'an Mansion to discuss matters, the four of them took a dozen guards and went straight to Huai'an Mansion in a small boat, and then abandoned the boat and hurried to the mansion. When he fell off the saddle and dismounted, the two river governors, Yu Cheng Chan and Dong Anguo, the governor of Caoyun Sang E, and the squire of the Ministry of Works, Xu Tingxi, had received the report from the guards in advance and waited at the door of the government office, followed by a Huaiying Dao and a Huai'an prefect. At this moment, Yu Chengchan took the lead and laid down the horseshoe sleeves, and all the officials said in unison: "The ministers (slaves) and others please the emperor Sheng'an, please Yongbeile, Lianbeile, thirteen elder brothers, and fourteenth elder brothers." Yin Ju, facing the south, stood and said: "Holy bow." After that, Kangxi's will was announced.

After the will was announced, Yin Fu helped him and said, "Gentlemen, please get up." In addition to announcing the decree, the three elder brothers and I just followed the emperor's dictation to see the progress of the river work. Adults don't have to misunderstand, we are not a good brand, except to tell you about the statute that the emperor has won, just take a look, listen, and don't make up your mind for you. Yu Chengchan has dealt with Yin, knows the temperament of this elder brother, and only cares about the truth in everything, so he let go of his hand and said: "The fourth elder brother and the third elder brother are invited to enter the third hall to talk." The lower officials and others are discussing the matter of drowning and diverting the river. Yin? took two steps forward, and then saw clearly that Huai Yingdao, who was following a few first-class masters, was also an acquaintance, "incomplete" Shi Shilun, Yin? nodded and smiled at him slightly, but Shi Shilun didn't seem to see it, only half-bowed and stood. When I think of his scholarly arrogance, I also have some respect in my heart.

After entering the third hall, the brothers sat in the middle in the order of the eldest and youngest, accompanied by Jackie Chan and below. Yu Chenglong arched his hand and said: "Fourth elder brother, the water of the Yellow River is rising, and it seems to have the potential to win Huai." A few days earlier, the ministers urgently summoned thousands of people to build an embankment on the south bank of the Yellow River, and they had already achieved some results, and they were in line with the emperor's will. The emperor ordered to deepen the bottom of the river and change the bend to a straight number of strategies, and the ministers thought that it was even a good and clear policy. Thinking that the emperor is a hundred miles away from the water, but he can make such a holy judgment, and the subordinates who have been dealing with the river workers all their lives are ashamed. After hearing this, he nodded, and secretly thought in his heart that Yu Jackie Chan had been working in Gyeonggi for the past two years, and his words had begun to take on flattery.

Here, Dong Anguo continued with a guilty face: "What Lord Yu said is very true. The criminal minister was a corrupt Confucian, and he was deeply favored by the emperor and served as the governor of the river, but he went to the river to cover up the damage. The spring flood of the Yellow River was also unable to deal with it in a timely manner, and the measures were inappropriate, so that the water situation was like this, which not only caused the emperor to worry about the water situation, but also put the people of Qifu County in danger. ”

Yin? noticed that Dong Anguo's top had been removed by him, and was about to speak, but Yin? had already interjected: "Master Dong doesn't have to blame himself too much. Since the adults have been in office, they have not counted the merits, but there is still a bit of hard work. Now we know that we are insufficient, and then we can reflect on ourselves, and if we know that we are in difficulty, we can improve ourselves. As long as Master Dong can work bravely, it is not impossible to redeem himself. If you can make some contributions to the river affairs, Huang Ama has his own fourth brother and I to talk about it for Lord Dong. ”

Yin? frowned slightly, originally according to Kangxi's meaning, he wanted to reprimand Dong Anguo for his crimes, but now Yin's words were deliberately dragged for him, and even put himself in.
