Seeing that the civil and military officials of the Beijing Division are eager to try, they want to raise Yinxi as the prince for the second time, just like cooking oil in a blazing fire, the white foam has been flooded high, but there is no firewood under the pot, and it is quietly cold. Officialdom returned to calm, and officials of the six yamen departments canceled their leave and returned to their posts one after another in order to hide from right and wrong, and to take leave. I have already jointly written the excerpt, and as soon as several people meet, they silently burn the excerpt, and no one usually goes to the yamen every day to run errands. In addition to the household department, Yinzhen took over the errand of the internal affairs office. Yinxi pretended to be sick for a few months, was scolded by a stinking beating, and the "illness" was cured, and he honestly went to the Zongren Mansion to rectify the flag affairs. Yinbao is in the military department, checking the arsenal today, and inspecting the armament tomorrow, and he is very busy. The provincial governors were all frightened, afraid that they had stepped on the nail board on the No. 1 court affairs of Tianzi, and gradually settled down. It is only bitter Yinren and Yinxiang, a prisoner of Xian'an Palace pacing the square brick floor, looking at the square sky; A forbidden Baylor Mansion fishing and reading, since playing chess papers with Sister Alancho, boiling in the dark. Yinzhen, Yinren, Yinzhi, Yinzhen, Yinzhen, Yinzhen, Yinzhen, Yinzhen, Yinxiang, Yinxiang, Yinxiang and Yin's nine elder brothers fought for a throne. At this point, Yinzhi has fallen into the Tang Dynasty, Yinren, Yinren, and Yinxiang have fallen off the horse, and only five elder brothers are left, all of whom have broken off the idea of being a prince, and only looked at the aging Kangxi, waiting for his "that day". The face is on the top, but it is a lot of peace.

The years have passed, time is like an arrow, it has been the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi in a snap of a finger, the Central Plains has nothing to do, but the political and religious dispute between the Western Xinjiang Conspiracy Alabutan and the Tibetan Lama has intensified, and finally caused great changes. In the 56th year of Kangxi's reign, Alabutan sent the general of the Dzungar Department to lead his troops to attack Qinghai, kill the Great Tibetan Khan, and the army entered Tibet to occupy Lhasa City and imprison the Dalai Lama. When the murderous letter reached Beijing, Emperor Kangxi was furious, and immediately ordered Erdan to be the general of Zhenwu, and Qi Deli to be the assistant general, out of the Altai Mountains, and to meet with the Funing An army to strictly prevent the Dzungar from entering the Kou, and only sent the Xi'an general Erut to supervise the troops into Tibet to quell the rebellion, and the Sichuan Governor Nian Qianyao was stationed in Xi'an to guard the gate of the Central Plains.

Kangxi's sixty-fifth birthday, because of this rejuvenation of the army, had a very cold life, and in a scene that night, the gods drew lots in front of the gods, and sang "Lost Space Chop". Kangxi became more and more unhappy, and left the table with a gloomy face after watching the hat show. The minister of the study and a few old princes who accompanied the seat looked at each other as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

Seeing the arrival of the Duanyang Festival, the six hundred miles ahead stepped up to deliver the good news: the two armies crossed the Urumur River one after another, and the quasi-rebel army was defeated in the battle, and fled west overnight. Kangxi Fang felt that he was determined, so he aimed to set up a feast in Changchun Garden, and had a drink with Fang Bao, Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi, etc. Yinyin transferred military rations from Wuhu and found that the grain was mildew, and there was a discord between the military department and the household department. Just as he was about to go out, he saw the new military squire Ortai holding a stack of paperwork in his hand, hot and sweaty, and hurriedly came in, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to the words of the Fourteenth Master," Ortai's face was a little pale, "the military report from Xining." "Ortai is in his thirties, with a long figure, so thin that it blows down like a gust of wind; The white melon seeds have two small eyes embedded in the face like black beans, and they look very shrewd and neat; On a hot day, the robe of the nine pythons and five claws is also covered with a golden chicken supplement, lined with a bamboo cloth gown and turned over the snow-white lining, meticulous and unprocrastinated; While answering, he handed the Chinese book to Yin, and said in a heavy tone: "The Western Front is defeated, and it is no longer an army. Fourteenth Master, you have to go to the emperor immediately! ”

"What?" Yin was startled, and hurriedly opened it with his hand, and was stunned after only a glance, the emergency document was written by Li Hai, the garrison of Xining. He was in a low-grade position, and he did not have the right to play directly, so he was stamped by the governor of Shaanxi Yamen and transferred to the military department, the handwriting was scribbled and unwritten, and more than a dozen pages were written in the vernacular, but the matter was very clear - the previous time Zhun Geer retreated at the slightest touch, it was a trick to lure the enemy, and Erdan and Qi Delhi were greedy and rushed into the trap, and were surrounded on the bank of the Karawusu River, and several breakthroughs were blocked, two generals and 60,000 troops were all killed, and only a dozen survivors fled to Xining! Yin looked at it more and more frightened at first, and suddenly changed his mind, but calmed down again, pinched the scroll in his hand and paced for a while, and said: "You are too calm, victory and defeat are commonplace, we are in the central cardinal, and we can't mess up." ”

Ortai stared at Yin, he was a newcomer, and he couldn't figure out the temperament of this steward brother, while thinking about it, he replied: "What the fourteenth master said is true." However, this defeat was unprecedented in the 70 years of our dynasty. The 60,000-strong army was completely wiped out, how could I not be in a hurry as a squire in the military department? ”

"It's unprecedented, so it's not too late to think of a good countermeasure." Yin simply sat down, stroked his shaved head and said, "Hmm...... Then go into the garden and face the saints, and present the fold to long live. You have to see Mr. Fang first, change your way and speak slowly, don't be shocked. Got it? Long live a few months of restlessness, just ......a little better," Ortai said: "Such a big thing, it seems that the fourteenth master himself went in to play a better thing. Yin got up with a smile, patted Ortai on the shoulder and said, "The soldiers have been defeated and the people have died, so although this matter is big, it is not urgent." Now I have to come up with a contingency plan, you go to Banzai and call the police first, let me think about it. Otherwise, if you want to ask, 'Old Fourteen, what do you think?', I can't answer in a way that is not in order, what else will I say? ”

Ortai put himself in his shoes and thought that Yin was indeed reasonable, so he didn't speak again, and used the seal in the signing room, and galloped to Changchun Garden. As soon as Ortai went, Yin didn't stop for a moment, and immediately ordered the sedan chair to go to Chaoyang Gate to see Prince Lian Yinxi. When I first arrived at the door, I saw He Zhu'er, the head of the eunuch of the palace, accompanying a military attache out, and when I looked carefully, it was the new governor of Shaanxi, Nian Qianyao, wearing a new cluster of cranes, and dragging a peacock feather behind the coral top, it seemed that he had just eaten wine, and his black and red face was shining, and he swayed out, and saw that it was Yin who got off the sedan chair, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace, and said with a smile: "The fourteenth master is auspicious!" Have you seen our master? ”

"Ho! It's shaking! The general has eight majestic faces, what a blessing! Yin smiled and shouted, "When will you come back to Beijing?" - I still met the fourth brother a few days ago, there are a few executions after the Zhuozhou Caoyun Peach Blossom Flood, he is very busy, I heard that he went to Wuzhi, I don't know if he came back, you ask your sister-in-law to know? Nian Qianyao smiled and said: "The fourth master is in Beijing now, but he doesn't stay in the house and has nowhere to find it." I went back to Beijing three days ago, long live the lord saw yesterday, asked to hand the sign in today, just the day after tomorrow is the birthday of the eleventh master, and the twenty-fourth birthday is also coming, while it is empty, please say hello in the mansion, save the lord in front of my master to say that the slave does not know the courtesy. Yin nodded and smiled: "You are too fine." Since it's long live to announce you, don't go quickly, I guess it's time to teach you face-to-face today! "Come in. Enter the door of the moon cave, pass the West Flower Hall, and listen to someone in the study from a distance by the superhand verandah of Shiyong Road, and listen to someone in the study from a distance.

"Three, three, three! Santaoyuan...... Five Heads Wow! ”

"Eight immortals gather! Four seasons of spring...... Must be promoted - drink! The tenth master is really blessed with wine today! ”

Yin swallowed the wine and was about to speak, when Yin stepped in, Tuan Tuan said: "The king has collapsed on the western front, and this place is still singing and dancing, and the merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and the elder brother is still pouring from the Jade Mountain!" ”

"Come on, come on!" Yin Yu didn't seem to care about this amazing news, he rarely had such joy, his face was red and he got up to give up his seat, and said: "Xu, pour a glass of punishment wine for the fourteenth master, who told him to come late!" While smiling and looking at Yin's drink, Fang said: "Chuanerdan and Qi Derri were defeated, I already know." ”

Yin's hand holding the empty cup trembled, and he was suddenly stunned, the urgent report sent by the military department in six hundred miles was not as fast as the eighth elder brother's private ear report! After being stunned for a long time, Yinfang stammered and said, "Starling...... You've ...... Got it? Yin Yu smiled: "You are suspicious." The Eight Masters Party is not so powerful, and Liao Wenge, the garrison of Xining, is the long-term follower of Lao Jiu, and he has to go through the governor to pass the defense to the Ministry of War, and the private message is of course slightly faster. Yin was already drunk, and said with a smile: "Fourteenth brother, do you know? This banquet is specially designed to congratulate our army on its defeat! We are so happy, if it weren't for the fact that the surname Nian came to stir up for a while, we would have eaten and drunk much more freely! Yin looked at everyone blankly, slowly put down the cup, and said, "Brother Ten is drunk, I don't understand this!" ”

"Chuanerdan's army is defeated, should the court take care of it?"

"Of course!"

"Do you want to send troops?"

"You can't do it without troops."

"Who's going to be the general?"

…………

Yin didn't go to see Kangxi in person, he made a special trip to see Yinxi, who had been in a hurry to see Yinxi, who had been in the sky for this matter, and discussed with Yinxi, who was hand-eyed, and the contact person guaranteed that he would lead the troops to the battle. On the way, I thought about it well, I made a step first, and pretended to make a gesture to ensure that the eighth elder brother personally led the troops, assisted by myself, and waited for the eighth elder brother to push the way, and then pushed the boat down the river...... I don't want to be picked out by a few words from this stupid brother! After pondering for a moment, Yin Zhengrong said: "Whoever leads the troops is the same." I came to see Starling for this matter. Brother leads the troops, but he is just a sitter, is he really fighting with a knife and a gun? So I think that this matter of military power should not be left behind, and it is best to be the starling brother to be the handsome, and make a good contribution in the west. Otherwise, if the third brother and the fourth brother rob the messenger, we won't be able to get the lottery! ”

"Good brother, I know your heart." Yinxi sighed softly, and after a long speech, he poured himself a cup and said, "Today's affairs, the general is of the utmost importance. As far as I can see, whoever becomes a great general is the successor of the Sacred Heart's tacit succession! ”

As if a thunderbolt slashed through the air, everyone in the study was pale, only listening to the black cries of "eating a cup of tea" outside the window one after another. After a long time, Yinxi said: "Who will sit in this seat?" "Starling!" Yin's face was as white as paper in shock, he took a step forward, held Yinxi's hands tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "No matter age, seniority or prestige, the fourteenth brother can never be as good as you, how can you say this?" If the skin does not have hair, will it be attached? You are our head and backbone, and the consequences of a chaotic order are unimaginable! - We are an alliance, and the words are still in our ears! He was so excited and sincere, everyone was moved, and they all looked at Yinxi, Alinga was the most knowledgeable person, and he couldn't help but think: "Is the eighth master too careful?" ”

"Fourteenth brother, that's all in the past. It's a thing of the past, don't mention it again. With tears in his eyes, Yinxi looked at the scenery outside the courtyard, and said with a sigh of relief: "Good luck and repentance are stingy, this is the gist of the Book of Changes, and I also read the "Yi" Wei compilation of the three uniques, but I forgot about it. The Mandate of Heaven may have belonged to me, and it is not bad for you to support me, but in the past few years of review, I have been too moved, I don't know how to be obscure, and I am sharp, and I have already attracted the taboo of creation. Therefore, it is not surprising that I fell in love with Huang Ama, originally Jiuding did not give power lightly, and I couldn't complain that the emperor was jealous of me. If you don't do it too much, your strengths will become fatal. Alas...... Don't talk about these, the destiny of heaven is gone, from now on, I think I am 'Mao', the fourteenth brother is 'skin', I am willing to be a virtuous minister in the prosperous world, and An is assisted by Zhou Gong, this mind can also be expressed to the sky! Yin's face turned red, and he shook his head again and again: "Although Starling's words are sincere, it is difficult for me to accept them. To be a man and rule the country of ten thousand times, what you want is the measure and the hearts of the people, these two with all due respect, whether it is the ninth brother or the tenth brother or me, no one can compare with you, let alone my shrewd and confused fourth brother. You say the mandate of heaven, this is something that cannot be seen or touched, and it is not necessary for me to say that 'lost love' is in the emperor. The emperor is gifted with wisdom, wise and sageful, the difficulty of scheming is difficult to measure, and he has frustrated you several times, but he knows that he is not empty of your body and mind, and he has trained your mind, so that he can rest assured that he will hand over these thousands of burdens to you? Otherwise, why do you reprimand you while being promoted, skip a few brothers, and crown you as a prince? He knew that I was your 'party', why did he hand over the military department to me and imprison the thirteenth elder brother who could lead the army? I don't dare to say anything else, I conclude that this time I will order the general to take 100,000 troops out of the customs, if I am a general, I must have an opinion in my heart, and I will set up a minister for you! ”

The two brothers have their own opinions, and they both speak seamlessly and movingly. Yin said with a smile on the side: "Such a good thing, you pushed me around, making me sit on the side and feel itchy." I am also an elder brother, generally long live the blood and bones, if you don't want to be the emperor, I will be! Everyone laughed at this sentence. Yin Yu smiled: "Lao Shi didn't cover it, is this a joke?" According to me, the praying mantis catches cicadas, and I don't know that the yellow finch is behind, this general, not only do we want to, but I am afraid that the third brother and the fourth brother will also reach out. Fang Nian Qianyao came to play bells and whistles, maybe even this dog is dreaming of being a general! People are not as good as heaven, and it is not okay to take it lightly! ”

"What the Ninth Master said makes sense." Wang Hongxu coughed lightly and said, "I think things should be divided into two layers. The first layer is that the third master has no ambitions, and the fourth master is trivial and jealous, no matter who is the future master, he will never be able to get rid of the four masters here. You are all in one voice, whether you are a king or a minister, you will be safe, this is good for the overall situation, long live how shrewd you are, you won't even understand this. On the second floor, although the fourteenth master is in charge of the military department, he does not have the right to call for the army. Therefore, we must grit our teeth and get this general with the troops, and we must not leave it behind. In this way, no matter who the divine mandate belongs to in the future, I will be able to advance and retreat with ease, and I will be able to win. If the eighth master is chosen, then there is no need to say anything, the fourteenth master is stationed outside with heavy troops, and there will be some villain to make trouble, and he can't afford to turn over any prodigal son. If the fourteenth master is chosen, the eighth master is highly respected, and he is sitting in Beijing and waiting for the fourteenth master, which is also as stable as Mount Tai! ”

Wang Hongxu was born in Hanlin, and Wen Xin Zhou said eloquently, and everyone couldn't help but nod yes. But he said, "What if I choose another brother?" For example, the third master, who would dare to ensure that he would not choose a successor who has no ambition and understands Wenzhi? A Ling'a smiled and said: "In the past, the crown prince Shensheng was in danger inside, and the heavy ears were safe outside, the sky does not allow this, if there is really such a ridiculous thing, why not come to the fourteenth master to take the throne with a Lingwu, and the eighth master will lead hundreds of officials to greet him, and the overall situation can be determined in an instant!" ”

After some discussion, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Yinfang asked about Nian Qianyao's intentions. Yin Yu said with a smile: "The west side of the army is xing, this kid is also called the flirtatious horse heart ape, I think he always seems to be a little unwilling to be controlled under the fourth brother's door, so he is close to us." "He wants to be a general?" Yin smiled hoarsely, "Be a fucking spring dream!" If you really don't need a brother's generals, the fourteenth brother, you can recommend Oro Dai, and I will mobilize some more people to swarm the bees. General, it has to be our people! He smiled so much that his eyes were squeezed into a slit, and he cocked his thumb and said, "Who said that our ten masters are thick?" One sentence is the purpose! Taking advantage of the fact that the four masters are all in a dream, we will move the ministry as soon as possible, and the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War will play the book together, please long live the selection of the elder brother's life to go out! ”

"In case you choose the third brother," Yin Yu said with a long face, "We will recommend the fourteenth brother as the deputy, and he will not be able to do anything outside." Wang Hongxu said: "What if you choose the fourth elder brother?" He led 100,000 soldiers, and with the support of Nian Qianyao's troops, his power was great! ”

Yin Xi sneered and said, "How can this be justified? If we really choose him, we will shake out the fact that Zheng Chunhua is hiding in his mansion and make him stink to the end! Yin's eyes jumped and asked, "Is there such a thing?" "Yes." Yinxi's eyes were as deep as an ancient well, and there was a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, "This ** person surnamed Zheng is not dead, the old thirteen is imprisoned, and the fourth brother is protected." I guess the fourth brother's heart still wants to play a 'prince card', which proves that he is a hardcore prince! When it was really an emergency, he had to throw out Gao Fuer's card and let him taste the taste of his 'friend in trouble'! ”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a heavy thunder in the sky outside, and the aftermath was bursting, rolling like a cart running over a stone bridge, for a long time. I heard my family shouting in the distance: "It's going to rain!" Close the window of the master's library! Yinxi pushed open the window, a fierce wind with the smell of rain immediately rushed into the study, everyone shivered, and saw that most of the day had been covered by inky black clouds, and the gaps in the clouds in the distance flashed brightly and brightly, and from time to time there was a dull rolling thunder. Seeing that everyone was solemn and solemn, Yin Yu said with a smile: "The wind is thundering, the sky is about to change, and the gentleman should be in awe." But I really don't understand how God treats me. I miss Yinxi, why don't you know that the country's maladministration is piling up? But if you don't have the imperial power in your hands, you can't rectify it if you're tired to death! Is my virtue inferior to that of the third brother? Am I inferior to my fourth brother? Is it my fault that the ministers recommended me? My heart is not known to man, and the heavens are not aware of it. Heaven! Hello, I don't know! As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. At this time, He Zhu'er ran in the wind, panting and said: "Fourteenth master, long live the summons in Taningju, wait for the master to go in, the horse and rain gear are ready, please go!" ”

Yin walked a few steps out of the door, suddenly turned around and stroked his heart with one hand, a Qian'er hit down, Yin Yu panicked and hurriedly went to help, Yin had already gotten up, hugged his fists and turned around and left. A few drops of copper coin rain tentatively sprinkled and stopped, but the thunder became louder and louder. Seeing that everyone was silent, Yin got up and said with a smile: "Why is this wine so uninteresting?" I have a little order, chanting it out to break your boredom! After that, he shook his head and looked at Tianyong and said:

Brother Lei, you came close, listen to me: Father Farming Cattle has a grudge against you? Why don't you pick up a big hated one and have a hot hand with him?

The destiny of the people who were thinking about it was shattered by a few words of slang from him, and they immediately smiled. Yinxi didn't smile, walked up to Oro Dai and said, "Old E." ”

"Huh? Eighth Master! ”

"Know why I invited you?"

"Eat and drink!"

"No," Yinxu looked at the sky and said word by word, "I want to ask you to go on the expedition and make meritorious contributions with the Fourteenth Master!" Oro Dai shook his head and said, "I'm good in Beijing, I don't want to go anywhere." ”

"Not only do you want to go, but you have to be happy to invite Ying, and you are happy to go to war!" Yin Yu took a deep breath, "Why are you here today?" It is because your grandfather died in the battle from the dragon entry pass, and your father accompanied the westward expedition, and was wounded by more than 70 people in order to protect the whole long live! Long live refusing to really fix you, that's because of these! My grandfather Yabuqi has already gone to Xining, and the Fourteenth Master is firmly determined to be the general of the expedition to the West this time, and you can only succeed if you follow him. Guarding in Beijing, there is Wu Dan, an old immortal, pressed on the top, and Liu Tiecheng and Zhang Wuge are on the left and right, and you can't show you - if you go to Xining and talk to Yabuqi, you will understand everything! ”

A bright flash streaked across the sky, followed by a thunderclap like a thunderclap, and the rain was already pouring down.
