Chapter 184

If everyone is not doing well, they will be angry with him.

He is just the lowest and lowest little eunuch in the palace, and anyone can step on it.

He was kicked to the ground, and it was his little master who stopped the beating.

The little master said, "Stop." ”

His little master was like a light that illuminated his dim life.

He was taken to Yonghe Palace by the little master.

He never got beaten that much again.

Sometimes he did something wrong clumsily, and Mr. Zhao punished him, and he was also punished according to the rules.

Once, he was seen by the little master, and repeatedly told Manager Zhao to punish him less.

Such a good master, he never met a second one.

So, he spent his whole life nostalgic for that year.

A year later, his little master died.

He inquired for a long time and heard that the coffin of the little master was sent to Wutai Mountain.

But he didn't have money and couldn't read, and he didn't know how to go to Wutai Mountain.

So, after leaving the palace, he found the largest temple in Beijing to become a monk.

It's all temples, so it's supposed to be common.

He is chanting scriptures in this temple, and the temple where the little master is should be able to hear it.

He thought that as long as he recited enough sutras, he would dedicate all his merits to the little master, and the little master would be able to live as his name in the next life.

Right.

He bowed his head and swept the floor.

After sweeping the floor, he was going back to recite the scriptures to the little master.

May his little master have all the good things in the world in the next life.

No one is more worthy than a little master.

He?

It doesn't matter how humble he is.

It's just that don't be a eunuch anymore......

He doesn't look at the delusions in his heart at all.

He hung his head and swept the floor.

On October 30, the first emperor and then the concubine Shuhui passed away.

Concubine Shuhui is the sister of the Queen Mother, and she has many contacts on weekdays, and when she hears this news, the Queen Mother will inevitably mourn.

On the second day, Kangxi returned to the palace from Changchun Garden by the Empress Dowager.

Because of the death of Concubine Shuhui, Kangxi decided to drop out of the dynasty for three days and personally went to the spirit of Concubine Shuhui to drink wine.

The Queen Mother went to see her sister, and when she saw her sister lying in the coffin, she was old, and she couldn't help sighing.

"I still remember how lively she was when she was younger. But now, she's gone......"

She sighed, "I'm probably going to go too......"

Kangxi asked: "Please also ask the emperor not to say such things, this is hurting his son's heart." ”

"Look, she's old." The Queen Mother looked at him sadly, "I'm also old, and my teeth are shaking." If it falls off, it doesn't hurt. If it doesn't fall off, the pain is unbearable. You don't have much time left to live. ”

When Kangxi heard this, he replied: "The emperor's mother has lived for more than seventy years, and your grandsons and great-grandchildren add up to hundreds. Now there are also some of your grandchildren whose beards are gray and whose teeth are about to fall. You're going to be old, and it's all too normal for your teeth to shake and fall out. ”

Kangxi smiled: "Besides, my ancestors, I often say that the old man's tooth loss is beneficial to his descendants." This is a good omen for your blessings. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled and said: "You say this, which old man is not happy when he hears it." ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother is not as worried as she was just now.

Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, smiled, and served the Queen Mother to rest.

During the funeral, Ma Liang, a cabinet scholar of the Criminal Department and secretary of Guanglu Temple, was dismissed because of the disrespectful and prudent handling of the sacrifice in front of Concubine Shuhui's spirit.

In the end, Kangxi punished him with a flail to mark the crime, showed it to the public for two months, and whipped him 100 times.

The Ministry of Works, Shangshu Mandu, and the waiter Ma Jintai, because the yamen where they are located are preparing for the funeral bed and other things, are not careful and inconsistent, and they are each demoted to two levels.

He Yi, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Ma Qi, the head of the house, were demoted to one level and fined one year for failing to read the sacrificial offerings in detail.

Among these people, Fucha. When Ma Qi abolished the prince for the first time, he recommended Yinxi.

And several others, Ma Liang, Mandu, Ma Jintai, Hesheri. Heyi, who has a lot of dealings with Yinxi in private, is a member of the minister who is good friends with Yinxi.

This kind of thing can be said to be big or small, but Kangxi chose to be punished heavily.

For a while, the officials didn't know whether Kangxi was beating them, or really because they were ineffective, or because he was really moody.

Because no matter how you look at it, it seems that everything is in the past.

Up and down, more and more cautious.

Under the advice of Yinzhen and several people, Yinzhen also gradually entered the palace to ask for peace from Umalu, and occasionally chatted a few words.

It's just that the relationship between the two mothers and sons can't go back to the past.

Umaru had no intention of remedy.

At the funeral of Concubine Shuhui, Umalu also attended as usual.

Everyone actually didn't have much contact with this Shuhui concubine, but after all, it was a funeral, and everyone still had some sadness on their faces.

When it was all over, she walked out of the house.

In the Forbidden City, a thick layer of snow fell.

It snows heavily every year, and every year it seems like the Forbidden City is going to be buried.

Umalu stretched out her hand, and the snowflakes landed on her palm, quickly melting into water.

Yin Shuang'er quietly accompanied Umalu.

Umalu looked up at the sky for a while, her head suddenly covered by a paper umbrella, and the snowflakes could not fall on her.

She looked back blankly.

Kangxi stood beside her: "Go back." ”

He muttered: "The palace people around you are too ignorant, and they don't know how to hold an umbrella for you when it snows like this." ”

Umalu opened her mouth to say that she had told them not to hold on, she wanted to see the sky, to see the snow, to walk in the snow.

In the end, she just sighed softly and said, "Thank you." ”

"I'll send you back."

"Okay."

Halfway through, Kangxi said: "In this life, we are drenched in snow, and we can be regarded as white-headed." ”

Umalus looked up at him, smiled quietly, and then said, "I and you are already white-headed. ”

Kangxi was in a trance: "Yes......"

He and she have long had gray hair, and they can be regarded as growing old together.

He stopped talking.

Perhaps Umalu should ask who he wants to be so obsessed with.

But she didn't ask anything.

The two go side by side.

Snow footprints meander in the wind.

After Kangxi sent her back, he returned to the Qianqing Palace.

No one knows, what he thinks about all the way in the snow is that he and her are finally growing old together. I'm still thinking about the two people who were in the snow with him back then.

Spring and autumn have passed, the good times are not permanent, people's hearts are always snakes swallowing elephants.

On November 28, Shi promised to give birth to the emperor's twenty-third son.

Kangxi Jin is always there.

At the end of the year, Jingshu and Fourteen Fujin came in to ask for peace, and sent a lot of things into the palace by the way.

Umalo also returned a lot of things.

In the end, Umalu asked Yin Shuang'er to take the two half-new cloaks that Kangxi had rewarded in the early years, and one person divided them.

The cloak of gold thread is a fine fur.

Several people talked for a while, and Jing Shu said with a smile: "Wait for the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in a few days, I will take the children to meet you again." ”

Umaru smiled, "Okay, I won't keep you." ”

After a few days, Xibao entered the palace and presented some gold and silver jewelry.

Umalu gave her another piece of emerald makeup.

Xibao smiled: "I know that Mother De is the best for me." ”

She snorted: "I don't envy the fourth sister-in-law's cloak." ”

Umalu looked at her funny: "I knew you were going to lose, don't you have this for you." ”

Although the things returned by Umalus were different, the price was the same.

lest everyone feel that she is partial.

On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the palace was lively.

Ulanara Jingshu and Fourteen Fujin and Xibao took their children and gathered around Umalu.

It's not lively.

Children gather around to play games, and adults gather around to talk and make trouble.

There are many children, and the children and grandchildren are full.

A few people talked, but it was also intimate.

Umalu looked at this scene with a soft expression.

Heavy snow outside the house, full of mega years.

A.D. 1714, the fifty-third year of Kangxi.

After the abolition of the prince, the East Palace was empty, and the ministers thought it was inappropriate, and repeatedly advised Kangxi to establish the prince early.

There are not only those who ask for the reinstatement of the abolished prince Yinren, but also those who ask for the establishment of the Eight Belle Yinren.

But Kangxi was noncommittal, and he stayed in the middle and did not send it.

No one knows what the emperor was thinking.

The entire court hall is like a powder keg that is about to explode at the touch of a button, and the people inside are at a loss, and they are still frantically adding oil to it.

Yinzhen became more and more courteous and virtuous, Yinzhen and Yinzhen built momentum for him, and Yinzhen also helped each other in the middle.

Banquet, talk and laugh.

Day after day, more and more ministers intersected with Yinxu and became a member of the Eight Masters Party in the eyes of everyone.

In this drunken gold, drunken dreams and death, everyone completely forgets that all the fire cooking flowers is just vain after all.

The pavilions and pavilions that were conjured up by the mirage, the day they collapsed, would only be so fast that people would be caught off guard.

Yinzhen only thinks about being alone now, he has long stopped interacting with Yinzhen and them, even with Yinqi and Yinyou, he often does not meet.

He only gets together with Yinxiang occasionally.

Yinxiang has no title, and no one has anything to do with him.

Yinzhen can rest assured that he will deal with him - Yinzhen used to secretly blame his imperial father for not giving him the thirteenth title, but now he feels that it is better to have two points.

Although Yinxiang can't go out because of a leg disease, he is not a self-depraved person, he often flips through books at home.

Every time Yinzhen finishes a political matter, after talking to Yinxiang, Yinxiang will think more about what he will do.

During the discussion, Yinxiang's words often made Yinzhen's mouth open.

Yin Zhen sighed: "You are smarter than me, and your means are softer than mine." It's a little similar to Lao Ba. ”

Yin Zhen felt that he was not doing well: "When I start doing things, I always take care of this end, but I can't take care of that end." I often make them complain about me. ”

Yinxiang smiled and comforted: "The fourth brother is like this. ”

He chanted: "The rich cannot be lewd, the mighty cannot be bent, and the poor and lowly cannot be moved. If there is a little change, then it is not the fourth brother. ”

He smiled: "People like me, it is also because the fourth brother has that kind of character, so the fourth brother is not like others, because foreign objects are either close to or alienated from me." It's always the same as I am. ”

When Yinxiang said this, his nose was a little sour.

He is not good at financial management and business, and he has no relatives to help him, but from time to time someone comes to his house to talk about some money.

Over the years, the Emperor allowed him to withdraw money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs every year for expenses.

Now only the abolished prince, the twelve shells Yinyi and him are still withdrawing money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Sometimes, he inevitably feels that he can't hold his face, but he can't help it. I can only be cheeky and withdraw money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs year after year.

Even so, it is still beyond its means.

Thanks to the fourth brother's help on weekdays, he barely managed to get by.

In this world, no one will treat him like the fourth brother.

He knew it.

Therefore, he often wants to do something to repay the fourth brother for his kindness.

After listening to the situation in Beijing, he said: "The more we can't be in a hurry now, follow the starling brothers." ”

Yinxiang's expression was a little cold: "Can't a few of them see that they are following the old path of abolishing the prince?" ”

"Maybe I can see it." Yin Zhen took a sip of tea, "But perhaps, they also have the same thoughts as the abolished prince, and want to suppress people with power, so that the imperial father has to obey." ”

Yin Zhen said calmly: "Far away, Empress Lu borrowed Shangshan Sihao to force Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, not to change others as princes; Recently, there was a dispute over the national capital of the former Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Changluo of Mingguangzong took advantage of the momentum of civil officials to force Emperor Wanli not to change the establishment of King Fu. ”

Yinxiang was silent for a while and asked, "If the imperial father is that kind of person, he will not abolish the crown prince." ”

"But the imperial father has already reinstated the crown prince once." Yin Zhen chewed peanuts and sneered, "That's why they dare to gamble." ”

Yinxiang sighed.

He looked out of the house.

I don't know when these things will be a head.

On this day, Yinzhen saw Kangxi come out after finishing his errands, and happened to meet Yinqi on the way home.

Yinqi hasn't had much contact with him recently, but he still cares about him, so he made an appointment to have a few drinks at a nearby teahouse.

After no one left and right, Yinqi asked, "You don't know what happened to your brother recently?" ”

"I know."

"Won't you persuade your brother? They are playing with fire and setting themselves on fire. ”

Yin Zhen was silent for a while, and replied: "He is such a big person, and he should bear the consequences of the choices he makes." ”

"Don't you talk about you?"

"Don't say it." Yin Zhen said, "My mother said to go with him, anyway, in the end, he was just imprisoned." ”

His mother didn't want him to spend his life for his fourteenth brother.

After he went back that day, he thought about it for a long time, and felt that E-Niang was quite right, he and Yinzhen were living their own lives after all, and no one should bear anyone's life.

Since then, he has not interfered much in Yinzhen's affairs.

"Your mother can think about it." Yinqi was a little envious.

Yinzhen looked at Yinqi and raised his glass to him: "My mother said a word, I will give it to you." She said that as long as a person can bear the worst of his choices, then he has nothing to fear. ”

Yinqi took a sip of tea and sighed: "It would be nice if my Eniang was like your Eniang." ”

He poured bitter water and said: "Every time I see her, she asks me to help the ninth brother." I asked her to persuade the ninth brother not to help the eighth brother do these things, so as not to get into trouble. She didn't listen, and in turn scolded me for not knowing what to do and not having brotherhood. ”

He had a headache and said, "I really don't know how to do this." went, always these words. If you don't go, you can't. ”

Yin Zhen waved his hand: "Each has its own troubles, my mother is extremely generous and sensible, and when she gets along, she doesn't always look like a mother and son." ”

He and his mother, more than polite and unfamiliar, lack of warmth.

They are not mothers and sons, but teachers and students.

Most families have a scripture that is difficult to read.

The two had a headache.

They are good at handling political affairs, but when it comes to dealing with the relationship with their mother, they are a little embarrassed.
