Instead of pulling him to give a rating, and laughing at the one with the lowest rating, they had to feast them once.

It's just a joke between brothers.

The one who was finally evaluated, Yinli smiled embarrassedly and took the poem.

In the afternoon, the dinner in the restaurant was funded by Yinli, but Yinzhen saw that the cost was slightly larger, so he paid for it himself.

Yinli was a little embarrassed.

Yin Zhen smiled: "You are young, your family is thin, and your home is full of places to spend money, so let's be my brother." When you have more money in the future, please come back. ”

Yinli was a little moved in his heart, and felt that his fourth brother was not the kind of completely ruthless person that outsiders said.

Yinli thanked him in his heart.

The two returned to the house one after the other, beckoning the brothers to continue eating and drinking.

On March 18, during Kangxi's birthday festival, the scholar Wang Luo once again proposed to Kangxi to reinstate Yinren as the crown prince, but he was not allowed and was punished.

should have been degraded, and the frontier was guarded.

However, because Wang Luo was old, Kangxi took the discretion to replace his son in guarding the west.

In the same month, Kangxi ordered Yinzhen, who had not long returned to Beijing, to participate in the Gongshi Society to try the review of the papers.

Yin Zhen knew in his heart that this was the emperor's father who asked him to choose his own people.

Jinshi said to the protégé of the Son of Heaven.

However, the examiner of the exam every year will also be called a teacher by the candidates.

In the final analysis, the examiner is not a trusted person of the emperor, because it is too easy to form a party.

You must know that most of the people who take the exam are those who have no foundation, as long as the powerful reach out, most of them are willing to be vassals.

In the face of Kangxi's kindness, Yinzhen did not kick his nose in the face, but looked at it, picked a few that he thought were good, kept them in his heart, and did not show them.

The rest is handled according to the rules.

Kangxi looked at the list of candidates for this examination and was quite satisfied.

After learning about Yinzhen's actions, I was even more satisfied with him in my heart, how to look at it and think that he knew the general situation, knew how to advance and retreat, and was much stronger than Yinren back then.

After thinking about it, he not only rewarded Yinzhen with some silver taels, but also rewarded Umalu with some things.

Kangxi later asked Yinzhen about the Panchen before asking him to find out about the Panchen.

Yinzhen said, the road is far away, and I don't know the news.

Kangxi can only endure it.

In May, Yinzhen moved to Ganzhou, trying to take advantage of the victory to attack Ili, the lair of Wang Alabutan.

In June and July, the people sent by Yinzhen to find the Panchen finally wrote back, saying that at the end of July, after the Panchen had finished the initiation ceremony, he would secretly come here on the pretext of retreat.

Yinzhen was still outside, and he couldn't go back, so he sent a secret letter and sent someone back.

In the past few years, the floods have been serious, and from time to time there are rumors of people plotting rebellion somewhere.

Kangxi was old, so he had to send all the princes under him to take a look around.

However, most of these things are related to corruption and bribery, and Yinzhen is inevitably sent to be more diligent.

Before Yinzhen arrived, the officials in the city got the news and gathered together to discuss.

An official said: "Prince Yong is used to being a stubborn character, and he will never leave until he finds out the truth." ”

He gritted his teeth and said, "But when he finds out the truth, let's count one of them, and no one will want to run." ”

Another official said, "Then let's find a way to turn him into one of our people." ”

"Do you think no one thought about it before us?" The official sneered, "But people are very arrogant, and they don't look down on us rubble rats." ”

There were several people at the table who did not speak, but they only looked at the lord who sat in the main seat in the room.

The chief official took a slow sip of tea and said, "Let me tell me, what are you worried about, even if you are caught." In the end, the emperor just asked us to make up for the shortfall. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, what Lord Liu said makes sense." Didn't we hear that this cold-faced Hades was coming, and we were dizzy for a while. ”

Lord Liu smiled and said: "What is he afraid of, let's talk about it when he becomes the emperor one day." ”

Lord Liu stroked his beard, not taking Yinzhen in his eyes at all.

That's not true.

Lord Liu smiled: "Although we are not afraid of him, but after all, he is the prince from Beijing, so we should be polite." ”

Everyone laughed in unison: "That's how it should be." ”

Just like the ministers in the past, as long as they fool the past, those people will not care about them.

Even if this is the most difficult Prince Yong, what can he do?

They have nothing to fear.

Several people agreed on their minds and said goodbye to each other.

After a minister returned to the house, he sat down all night, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Yinzhen arrived here and was ordered to supervise the work. The officials at all levels were very cooperative.

When asked about the embankment, the officials complained bitterly. It is said that the finances are tight every year, and the funds allocated every year are saved and saved. But it was always not enough, so I had to tear down the west wall to make up the east wall, and tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, and the river embankment really couldn't take care of it.

Yinzhen is not a three-year-old child, how can they be deceived. He just listened quietly, and after listening, he nodded slightly, and only knew it.

No one was sure what he meant, so he looked at each other and became more and more cautious.

Because of the collusion between the top and bottom and the protection of officials and officials, Yinzhen couldn't find out anything for a while.

Yinzhen had no choice but to record what he had found and go back to Kangxi to read.

The day before leaving, a ranger threw a package through the window.

The little guy next to Yinzhen opened it for him, and there was a thick stack of ledgers and letters inside, which recorded the details of corruption and bribery of officials in the entire state capital, big and small, specific to a certain day and time in a certain year.

Yin Zhen was furious, and after coming back to his senses, he told the little servant to prepare the horse that night and return to the capital quickly.

Xu was quick to see the opportunity, and on the way back to the capital, they didn't hear any news.

Yinzhen handed over a pair of physical evidence to Kangxi, and after Kangxi turned a few pages, he asked Yinzhen to put it away.

Yin Zhen was silent and put it away.

Kangxi said expressionlessly: "With these physical evidence. Whether you kill or kill them afterwards, they will all be famous. ”

Yinzhen could only receive the order: "Yes." ”

Kangxi spoke: "Okay, you don't have to think about it so much." Today's winter solstice, you can go to the southern suburbs to worship the sky on my behalf. ”

"Yes."

In November, Yinzhen had arrived in the capital, and he was to discuss with Kangxi about the next year's invasion of Tsewang Alabutan.

Although it is possible to pass letters, after all, it is not as fast and effective as meeting in person.

Besides, he also misses his family. The royal father, Eniang, starling, and ninth brother.

Well, he also thinks about the very annoying fourth brother.

Yinzhen rested for a few days before entering the palace to face the saint.

After the discussion, Kangxi asked him to go to Yonghe Palace to meet his mother.

Umaru almost didn't recognize him for a moment.

It's dark, and I'm thin, but I have lost some of the depression of being pampered in the Forbidden City. Talking and doing things, I also feel like an adult.

In front of her, he became a child again.

After Yinzhen finished saluting, he sat next to Umalu and looked at it for a while: "I think Eniang is tight, Eniang is still as good-looking as before." ”

Umalu smiled, "Your mouth is slippery." ”

She said: "Your fourth brother is going to the palace today to say goodbye, you two can have dinner with me." ”

Yinzhen said unhappily with a dark face: "I don't want to see the fourth brother." ”

"What's wrong?"

"I was on the march to fight, and Amado had a reward, and Brother Jiu sent people to me several times to send silver, totaling tens of thousands of taels."

He said angrily: "When I was born, Brother Jiu also sent someone to send nine gold utensils, worth about 120,000 taels of silver. ”

"I'm not saying he's going to send me anything precious," he said, "but it's not like there's nothing." ”

Umalus did not take any partiality, but said, "When he comes, ask him yourself." ”

After Yinzhen met with Kangxi today, he came to Yonghe Palace to ask for peace, and when he saw Yinzhen there, he said hello.

Yinzhen reluctantly returned the salute.

As if he hadn't seen him, he chatted with Yinzhen for a few words, asked about Prince Yong's mansion, and beckoned the two to dinner.

Kangxi also came to join in the fun, and saw that half of the food on the table was Yinzhen's favorite food, and half of Yinzhen's favorite food, so he couldn't help but look at Umalu with a calm face.

Umalu was not afraid, and even said quite confidently: "The emperor said that he was coming, and I will ask the small kitchen to cook two more dishes of the emperor's favorite food." ”

Kangxi didn't hear it, and dined with a few people.

With Kangxi here, Yinzhen didn't make any moths.

After Kangxi left for a while, Yinzhen had to sit next to Umalu, and Lai Lai chirped and cried to Umalu: "Look at the fourth brother, he is like this all day long, and he doesn't show a smile when he eats with us, and I don't know how unwilling he is to meet us." ”

Umalu smiled and patted it, "You're good." ”

She smiled with Yinzhen: "Fourteen because he went out, you didn't send him something, and I chatted unhappily for a day." ”

Yinzhen said sourly: "If thirteen goes, he may not be nervous." ”

Yin Zhen looked at this scene, and his heart was a little sour.

Since the death of Empress Xiaoyi, he has lost his mother.

E-Niang is only fourteen-year-old, and she will never talk to him so intimately, let alone face him between words.

He could barely stay for a moment.

But he still held on, explaining: "Fourteen marches and fights abroad, and holds military power, and it is even more important to be cautious in words and deeds, and there must be no mistakes or omissions. lest they arouse suspicion, or the courtiers go to the top. ”

Yinzhen sneered: "Eniang, you see, so far, he still has so much to say. ”

Umalu slapped him again: "Okay, you don't know what to do for another day." What your fourth brother said is not reasonable. You are such a big person, you still need to learn from your fourth brother in dealing with people. ”

Yinzhen didn't follow: "E-niang only likes the fourth brother, everything is towards the fourth brother, and she doesn't like me." I don't follow. ”

"I don't." He was making a fuss.

Umalu looked at this bastard boy and smiled helplessly: "You, you are such a big person, the children are all married, why are you still holding your mother?" Okay, okay, go back, your Fujin is still waiting for you. ”

She sent Yinzhen and Yinzhen away.

Yinzhen walked out of the palace gate, snorted coldly, and got into the carriage sent by Yinzhen to pick him up.

Yin Zhen watched the carriage drive away, shook his head helplessly, and got into his own carriage.

In Prince Yong's mansion, Yinxiang was sitting in the hall waiting for him, and when he saw him coming back, he stepped forward to greet him with a pestle: "Fourth brother." ”

Yin Zhen smiled: "Why are you here?" ”

"I think the fourth brother, so I'm here."

Yin Zhen pulled him to sit down and said strangely: "If you want to miss me, just send someone to pass on a message." Even if there are knives in the sky, I will go to see you. ”

Yinxiang was helped to sit down by him, and looked at his fourth brother with a smile: "Since you think like this, is it possible that I can't think like this?" You have to come to see me when you get under the knife, my leg is better, why can't I come to see you. ”

Yin Zhen laughed and said, "You." ”

When he came out of the palace, all the depression he brought with him was gone.

He waved his hand and asked the people below to serve tea and snacks.

When Yinxiang came, Wulanala Jingshu had already let the people below serve tea and snacks.

Yinzhen felt that it was not enough at this time, so let them go up more.

His thirteenth brother is the best in the universe.

You can't wronged him.

The two chatted, and then turned to the study to talk.

Yinxiang asked, "What about the fifth brother and the seventh brother?" You haven't been moving around lately? ”

Yin Zhen nodded: "They are afraid of arousing the suspicion of the imperial father, so they have not been walking around outside for several days." ”

Yinxiang smiled: "At this time, I have to be glad that I don't have a knighthood." Even if you have a close relationship with the fourth brother, others will not think of anything. ”

His unintentional words made Yinzhen understand something.

It turned out that the emperor's father did not confer the title of thirteen knighthoods at the beginning.

Yinxiang smiled: "But when I met my younger brothers recently, I think they are also a little interesting." ”

He said in a low voice: "I think the twelfth brother, the sixteenth brother, the seventeenth brother, some want to invest in the fourth brother's name." ”

Yinzhen took him to the study to discuss, and then said softly: "I know...... But the royal father didn't like to form a party for personal gain. ”

Yin Zhen reminded him: "When you get together with them, it can be said that the younger brothers love each other." But I can't mix it up...... At most, I can only get together with them a few times in your presence. ”

As soon as Yinzhen said this, Yinxiang understood.

Yin Xiang smiled and said, "If one day, it is the fourth brother who ascends to that position, I am not surprised at all." ”

There is no one like his fourth brother, who is so cautious and steady.

If such people are not successful, then who else can succeed?

Yin Zhen said lightly: "It's nothing more than thinking more and thinking more and watching more." ”

Sometimes, he will feel that Eniang is not as good to him as he is to Fourteen.

But the more he experienced, the more he understood that E-Niang's teaching to him was enough for him to last a lifetime.

In the process of a person's growth, there are traces of the people around him.

This is what the folk say, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice will make holes - there are very few people who can really escape the shackles of the people around them.

Eniang is not an ordinary woman, she not only cares about his food and clothing, but also guides his thoughts.

E-Niang has done her best.

Therefore, even if Eniang treats him as affectionately as he treats Fourteen, he can't force it.

Yin Zhen thought about it indifferently and looked at Yin Xiang: "How are the younger brothers doing?" ”

"Just talk about poetry and songs, and play with children's treasures." Yinxiang said with a smile, "Me and them, don't discuss the country." ”

"That's fine." Yin Zhen smiled, "I'm afraid that I can't take care of you when I'm busy, but now that you have time to pass the time, I'm happy for you." ”

Yinxiang smiled and talked to Yinzhen.

Somewhere, a prefect was killed by bandits.

The prefect is still a little incorruptible, and in the mouth of the local people, he is still a big man.

The people gathered and gossiped.

"There are so many corrupt officials in this world who don't kill them, why do you kill him!"
