Yin was stunned, turned his head to look at the woman, and shouted out, "Where are my guards?" Yin's two guards were guarding the door, and when they heard the greeting, they hurriedly came in and stood with their hands crossed. Yin frowned and said, "Can you get some hot water?" Qian Yundou smiled and said: "Fourteenth Master, she is in a coma, not really thirsty." The villain is rough and well-versed, and he pours a bowl of ready-made venison soup to make up for the original spirit, and it is good to be afraid. Seeing that Yin was speechless, Cai Huaixi hurriedly came over to help the woman on her back, and Qian Yundou fed a big bowl of hot and fragrant broth with a silver spoon in a small bite. Yin didn't pay attention to it, just paced back and forth with his thoughts, sometimes bowing his head and groaning, sometimes staring at the outside of the courtyard, no one knew what he was thinking.

"God......" The woman who escaped death finally woke up, Quqing's face flushed, a pair of watery almond eyes slowly flashed, swept over the faces of strange men, and said, "Am I in the underworld, or alive?" Are you human or ......?"

Yin looked at her silently, her facial features were still upright and delicate, but she was unkempt, her feet were frozen with yellow water, and her childish eyes were full of doubt and fear. After a long time, Yin Fang smiled faintly: "We are not ghosts, but compared to people and ghosts, people are still more terrifying, no wonder you are panicking." You went to the ghost gate to pass this experience, and came back. What's your name, and why did you freeze down in this lonely temple alone? ”

"I'm from Dai County," the girl shrank her feet into the horse gown in front of so many men, "Qiaojiazhai is from the Zhuang family, and her name is Yindi." Last year, the county sent down the official money, and my family paid seven and a half dollars...... It's a pity that it didn't work out last fall, how can I get so much money? There are only my father and mother in the family, and a younger brother who is less than six years old. There was a barbarian in the village, speaking Suzhou dialect, saying that he would buy 20 girls to go to Suzhou to weave tribute and embroider flowers for the emperor, and there would be one or two wages for a year to eat and live, and at the end of the three-year period, he was willing to come back to pay for the passage, and he wanted to keep six taels of silver for a year. In order to pay off the debt and for the sake of the family's survival, my parents sold my ......"

She cried and said, Yin frowned and pondered, he knew about the annual tribute that Suzhou gave to the imperial court, and it was all in charge of Suzhou weaving Li Xu, but there was no case of buying people in the north. Li Xu is a person who is so cautious that he has to dodge when the leaves fall, and he dares to buy and sell people privately? Thinking about it, he asked, "Since you are consensual, why did you come back again?" Yindi whimpered: "Where does the master know? He's a trafficker! When I arrived in Suzhou, I sold it to Chunxiang Pavilion, I saw that the master taught not needlework, and led the singing and playing the piano every day, and also taught to play chess and paint. However, an eldest sister in Chunxiangyuan was kind enough to tell me the details-when she turned fifteen years old, she asked us to pick up guests-uncle, I am the daughter of a good family, how can I do this? Taking advantage of their unpreparedness, I escaped, and I didn't even dare to take the serious road, and came back all the way from Anhui, Shandong, and Hebei to beg for food. When I arrived at Niangzi Pass, I encountered heavy snowfall, and I wanted to enter the temple to take refuge, but I didn't know that because of the disaster here, the abbots in the temple were hungry and ran away, and I froze down......"

"You make up this story to make people cry," Yin's eyes were blazing, and he sneered, "I saved your life, and you still come with me like this?" Last year, there was a drought in Shanxi, and it was a fact that the autumn grain was confiscated. Long live Kangxi, he once issued a clear edict to the world, exempting Shanxi and Gansu from annual money and grain, and also sent a minister to help the victims with Shanxi Governor Nuo Min. How could there be a rush on the contrary? Let's be honest, whose house are you? With my care, keep you safe, since I save people, I will naturally save them to the end. Yindi looked at Yin for a moment with big eyes, sighed and said: "I can't help it if I don't believe it, I can't understand this matter, anyway, I heard that it is Lord Nuo and the county master of our house...... It seems that I owe some treasury of silver, not only did I give money to the silver, but I also asked our people to make up for the money owed - the people of Tong Province are the same, how can I deceive you, uncle? Just ask a villager......"

She didn't finish her words, Yin's heart was already bright, Yindi didn't tell a lie, this is exactly the sin created by today's emperor and the former Prince Yong! Since the forty-sixth year of Kangxi, Yinzhen was in charge of the household department, cleaning up the arrears of officials to the treasury, and how many officials were forced to hang themselves, this Nuo Min found another way, the court forced him to repay his debts, and he asked the people to pay them back! Yin looked at the bonfire, muttered a "bad guy", and turned his face to ask Qian Yundou, "This Nuo Min is from Niu Lu under Zhenghuang, and it seems that he is a disciple of Lama Temple?" Qian Yundou didn't want to cause trouble at all, he just wanted to send this unprovoked prince to Beijing to finish his work, so he snorted for a while and didn't answer. Cai Huaixi said on the side: "It's not the door of Long Live Ye Longdive, he is the capital of the white flag, and he was originally a brother who exchanged posts with the New Year's system." ”

"A raccoon dog!" Yin gritted his teeth and smiled, "Wearing such a protective hat, aren't you afraid of stirring up a civil uprising?" The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, I see-" He suddenly realized his situation, named "General Wang", was actually a tiger imprisoned in a cage, this kind of idle business was not his turn to take care of at all, and he didn't know what the situation was in Beijing now, and it was difficult to say what his future would be. Thinking about it, Yin sighed and smiled reluctantly: "Yindi, if you don't die, you will have a blessing." Would you rather come with me to Beijing and wait for me, or would you rather go back? ”

Yin Di had tears in her eyes, she thought that this cadre was all with swords and swords, either ringing horses or swordsmen, but when she came back to her senses, she had realized that Yin was not a bad person, but she was not like an ordinary person. Thinking about it, he wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "I ...... There are fathers and younger brothers in the family, my father is old, my mother is sick, and my younger brother is still young, so someone has to take care of him...... Yin smiled: "It's hard for you to still have this filial piety, better than our brothers!" In this case, Ming'er, I will sponsor you to order some entanglement, and go back to Dai County. "Then he instructed the guards, "It is inconvenient for her to rest here, I see that there is also an ear room in the east wing, take her to that room, and send her a little ready-made food." ”

The guards went out with Yindi. Yin took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was already the middle of the day, and the snow was falling like cotton outside, and he looked at the two pen posts, and looked at himself respectfully, neither could he drive them away, but he really had nothing to talk about. Listening to the whistling sound of the bleak wind sweeping over the peaks, Yin's heart turned even more melancholy. He unsheathed his sword, leaned on the saddle, took a few bites of the deer tendons in the hanging pot, and ate a large bowl of rice wine, and then felt drunk, meditating beside the warm fire, and gradually closed his eyes.

"Fourteenth master, fourteenth master!"

Yin, who was asleep, opened his eyes suddenly, but saw that it was Qian Yundou calling him softly, he shook the cloak covering his body and sat up straight, and asked, "What's the matter?" Yelling! ”

"Jingcheng Post Station has sent someone to pick you up!"

"Okay, remember what I said last night?"

“……”

"Let them in as the head!"

"Piercing!"

Like a snowman, Jing Cheng entered the mountain temple with white air, stomped his feet lightly under the eaves, took off his big hat and trembled, wiped his face full of snow water, and stammered and reported: "Jing Jing Jing Yi, Yi Yi...... Yicheng Meng Meng Meng ......" The sad Yin was amused by him and laughed, and said: "Don't be difficult, it's Meng Yicheng - come in." The post man was short and fat, rolled in like a ball, hit a thousand children on the spot, and said, "Slave...... Slave Meng ...... Xianyou to the master, please ...... Please! I don't know if it's hot in the house, or if it's the first time this Bapinyi has seen such a high-status Tianhuang nobleman, Meng Xianyou sweated on his head, and he gestured with his hands for a long time, and Yin couldn't understand what he said. I wanted to ask how Emperor Yongzheng "paid attention" to his entry into Beijing, but he couldn't help but be angry and funny at this piece of material: "That's it." Be careful that you're tired! You stammered like this in Jinbei dialect, I can't understand anything! How much money did you spend on this officer? Don't you see your boss talking like this? ”

"Back to ...... Lord Wang," Meng Xianyou kowtowed, "slave...... It's just ...... The Righteous Eight Classics of the Advancement of the Jinshi...... Just for this hairy hair...... Faults, only mixed up...... Become an eight-grade and high-quality official! Day by day...... After a long time, it is not ...... Don't care. Your name is slave...... only when you sing about love, you don't tie the knot...... Stammered......"

Yin Yangtian laughed and said, "Okay, interesting, you sing!" Who told you to pick me up? That Meng Xianyou blushed and kowtowed, and really sang the Tao with his neck, but the words were correct and round, and he didn't stutter at all. The two guards followed this unlucky prince, and the journey was lonely for many days, and when they saw someone singing in the main hall, they couldn't help but come over to listen to the excitement, but they heard Meng Xianyou sing:

Please listen carefully,

The slave sings for you.

Don't dare to make a second to take over the king's drive,

It's just for the constitution to come from Baoding Mansion.

After receiving the fourteenth master,

If you can't receive the fourteenth master, you can't do it as an eighth-grade official!

Although the lyrics are vulgar, they are clearly understood, Yin didn't expect him to sing so smoothly, and said with a smile: "I just walked to Niangzi Pass, Baoding Mansion has long ears!" Meng Xianyou shook his hand and sang slowly:

The minions can't figure out the grievances inside.

Yesterday night an official came to Jingcheng,

Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Labor, named Tian Wenjing,

Ordered by the Holy Father to go to the Shaanxi Consolation Barracks,

Along the way, bring this order,

The slave was ordered to take the sedan chair back to the well.

Forty-five miles of mountain roads have been run so that the minions' hair is clouded

Squeak brother!

sang here to close the board, and sang "Brother Squeak" in a voice, so that everyone in the hall and outside the hall controlled their backs and bowed their waists, fell and beat their chests and laughed. Yin couldn't help but take a sip of tea and sprayed his sleeve, but he soon understood how tightly controlled he was. He gradually changed his face, stood up and said coldly: "It's difficult for the governor of Shanxi and Zhili provinces." This snow is ten times harder than the king's walking! Since you brought a warm sedan chair, it is also considered your piety, and this king is going to take a sedan chair and leave. After saying that, he got up, Meng Xianyou hurriedly kowtowed and got up to go out to greet the sedan horse, and Yin's entourage and Qian Yundou and others were busy preparing their luggage.

"Fourteenth master," a palace guard saw Yin come out with a button, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What about that woman?" Do you want to send her back to Dai County, or take her away? As he spoke, he handed over the big one.

"How's her body?"

"It's good, I had a warm night last night, and I've come over."

Yin pursed his lips and looked at the sky, the snow had not fallen much, and the sparse snow flakes were weakly swaying with the wind and falling slowly. He groaned, and when he saw Yindi coming out of the east ear room, he said, "You don't care, right? Yindi was wearing a heavy and thick cotton robe, and she was warm all night, and her spirit had fully recovered. She saw Yin and the others hurriedly packing up their things, in a hurry, first looking through the window stupidly, listening to Yin ask herself, hurriedly took a few steps, knelt on her knees, kowtowed three times in the snow, and already whimpered and let go: "Benefactor...... Are you leaving? How can I repay you? …… We are a small family, the benefactor is a nobleman, I just hope that the benefactor will rise step by step, and the prince will be ...... of Wandai" Yin smiled bitterly and touched his arms, there was no silver in it, but there was a handful of golden melon seeds - it was Nian Qianyao who set up wine for himself to see him off, and guessed that he won before the banquet. Then he took them all out and said, "I can't afford your words of gratitude." According to the usual years, I will take you to the capital, and I can help you find food and clothing for your family, but now it is not possible. Take this money with you......" said with a gloomy expression.

Yindi raised her head suddenly, and looked at Yin in surprise with tears in her eyes. In an instant, Yin found that she was very handsome: Shaoxiu's face was washed with snow water, and it was flushed with pink and tender; There are two faint smiles under the corners of the mouth; The black hair was somewhat disheveled, but it was so black that it fluttered in the wind like a crow's wings; Hitomito, who is bottomless and dark, is childish, but also has a wit and maturity that is not commensurate with her age. Yin sighed: "In my Beijing palace, the eight girls around me are not as good as you, and it will be good to take you to wait for Fujin." Pity...... I'm in the middle of an emergency, and I can't take care of that. You can't walk like this, I advise you to change into men's clothes and take the road to return to your hometown slowly. "Then you have to go down.

"Eun Gong!"

"Huh?"

"Ask the grace to give me your name, and I will go back and set up an immortal tablet for you!"

Yin Tian smiled lightly, walked down the stairs slowly, and said without looking back as he walked: "How can there be immortality since ancient times?" I'm not short-lived, it's just that the sky is shining! The first emperor was alive, and the ministers shouted long live every day, and in the end he only reigned for 61 years. Creation is impermanent......" I don't know which sentence touched my heart, Yin's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and he hurriedly walked out of the temple, got into the warm sedan chair with his waist, and kicked his feet and said: "Get up the sedan chair!" ”

More than 100 people surrounded the four people who took the apricot yellow felt set to carry the soft sedan chair, one foot high and one foot low to step on the snow-covered mountain road to the east. Yindi stood at the gate of the temple and watched them disappear into the snowstorm before returning to the temple......

The group trekked in the wind and snow for several more days, and when they arrived at Luheyi on the outskirts of Beijing, it was already the evening of 26 November. After crossing the Yongding River, I saw Yin Tai, a university scholar, Gao Qizhuo, a member of the Ministry of Rites, Alsonga, Sunu, and others, and saw Yinha's waist and get off the sedan chair, and they all asked to go down. Yin looked at it, Arsonga is the son of the original Ministry of Works, Shangshu Amaga, Sunu is the disciple of Yinxi, the prince of Ba Gelian, and he has nothing to talk about when he is in Beijing, but at this time, there are many people, and under the emperor, he doesn't dare to say more than a word, he only orders to call up, and then follows everyone into the post station. During the national funeral, it was inconvenient to have a large banquet, so Yin Tai only ordered someone to prepare a table of vegetarian seats, and the right to be Yin took the wind. Neither can you ask the kabuki to play music, nor can you guess the fist or shoot the dumb riddle, and everyone is very preoccupied. Therefore, after a few bites, when I saw that Yin had put the chopsticks, I got up, went to the main room of the post station, and spoke again.

"Zhu Yungong," Yin sat on the main seat, glanced at Yin Tai opposite, and said, "Where is Huang Ama's Zi Palace?" I'm going to wake tonight! ”

Yin Tai is a scholar of Wenhua Palace, the number one protégé of the late Xiong Cixu, the minister of the upper study, and a well-known Taoist old-fashioned. In Kangxi's later years, because he followed the university scholar Wang Bao to abolish the prince, he was punished and dismissed, and he was idle for many years. He listened to Yin's question, bowed on the chair, and said, "Emperor Daxing has already set the name 'Holy Ancestor', please pay attention to the Fourteenth Master." The thirteenth day of the Holy Ancestor's collapse was in Changchun Garden, and on the day Yongzheng was enthroned in front of the coffin, that is, Emperor Feng Daxing moved Zi Qianqing Palace. The minister was ordered to receive the general king, and he rested in Luhe Station tonight, and tomorrow he had his own holy order to summon the fourteenth master in. ”

In the face of these people, Yin suddenly had a sense of remoteness and strangeness, remembering that he had sent troops and horses on thousands of horses to show off his might, and it was the emperor who sat high in the nine-fold monarch on behalf of the Son of Heaven to send himself here, and set up a feast under the green reed shed not far in front of the post to shed tears and say goodbye. When I came back today, I had already divided the status of the monarch and the minister, and the siblings of the relatives said that they were not allowed to enter the city, so they had to stay outside the city obediently! It's really the same scenery, and the personnel are all different. In the Forbidden City not far from here, the old Ama who was lying quietly in the cold Qianqing Palace could no longer teach himself to write with his hand, and he could no longer watch himself dance with a sword while eating wine...... Yin couldn't help but burst into tears, but he didn't want to lose his temper in front of someone like Yin Tai, so he hurriedly wiped it and said, "Yin Tai, since I can't go in, I will naturally obey the order." You are a well-known master of science, please advise, should I see Emperor Yongzheng first, or should I go to the spiritual seat of the Holy Ancestor first? ”

"Although loyalty, filial piety and righteousness are one principle, they are orderly." Yin Tai was not in a hurry, and said: "Loyalty is guarding the position, today the division of monarchs and ministers has been decided, and the Holy Son of Heaven is above, long live the first to meet today." However, long live is also keeping vigil day and night in the Qianqing Palace, and it is not impossible to see it together. Yin Tai was confident and said very surely. He didn't take over his brother every day, and he actually had a good impression of the straightforward and heroic Yin. In ordinary people, it is not a trivial matter worth mentioning who to see first and then who to see, but today's Yongzheng is a mean nature, persuading Yin to give a big gift to the monarch and ministers first, and then to Kangxi Zigong, which was originally full of good intentions to preserve, but the Taoist face is stiff and straight, which makes people feel useless in their hearts. Arsonga came with Yin Tai, and when he saw Yin Tai treating Yin like this, he glanced at Yin Tai, and scolded in his heart: "Old coffin coffin," but he said: "Loyalty and filial piety are one, and Lord Yin is very right." Filial piety is the foundation of loyalty, unfilial piety is disloyalty, and non-filial piety cannot be a loyal minister. Since the Long Live Lord is also in the Azusa Palace, it is okay to make a temporary request. Yin Tai knew that he was refuting himself, and he didn't defend himself, his face was expressionless, and he turned his face to Yin and said: "There is one thing, the minister wants to return to the fourteenth master of Ming." Long live the ascension, all the elder brothers avoided it. Therefore, the 'yin' of all elder brothers is changed to the word 'allow'. Yin Yunyin is near, and the verbal salutation is not easy to distinguish, if the fourteenth master has a Chen Song, please pay attention to correct it. ”

This is the proper meaning of the question, Yin also heard Yin Tai's kindness, and couldn't help nodding and said: "Take care of me, from now on, Xiao Wang's name is Yun." ”

"Fourteenth Master," Arsona saw that Yunzheng didn't look at himself, knowing that he had misunderstood. Before coming to receive Yun, He Zhu'er, the eunuch of the Eighth Elder Brother's Mansion, made a special trip to see him and told him to see Yun alone and inform him in detail about the situation in Beijing. Seeing that the chief officer is Yin Tai, a bad old man for some reason, and the rest of the people are all ghosts, vigilant and vigilant, where to ask for a chance? Arsonga sat next to him and pondered for a long time, and it was absolutely impossible to see Yun alone, but he didn't speak, pretended to be dumb, and couldn't explain to the eighth elder brother, so he coughed lightly and said: "Before the slave came, the third master, the fifth master, the eighth master, the ninth master, and the thirteenth master all met. Everyone said that they should have come to pick up the wind in person, but they all valued filial piety, and asked the slaves to tell the master to take care of themselves. This is equivalent to reporting a letter of peace to Yun, Yun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, eased his face and said, "Brother Lao has taken care of it." With each other's filial piety, there is no need to talk about these rituals. Sunu looked at Yin Tai and Gao Qizhuo, and then Arsuna said, "It's not all about filial piety. Long live the new ascending to the pole, all the affairs have to be taken care of, the night vigil, the chapter is brought to the Qianqing Palace to deal with, the third master, the thirteenth master, and the eighth master are now in the south study, and Long Keduo and Ma Qi are in charge of the country's funeral affairs. In order to prevent collusion inside and outside the party, and take advantage of the funeral to cause chaos, the nine cities have been closed for 14 days. ”

This is another piece of information, and it is even more important. The so-called "traitorous party" Yunyun, Yun's heart is bright, referring to the "three regrets" of Xinjun Yongzheng's life - the eighth elder brother Yunyu, the ninth elder brother Yunyu and the tenth elder brother Yun - of course, he is the "outside" of "inside and outside". Yun couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, and at the same time a little relieved and relaxed: this is very clear, the eighth elder brother has not been overthrown, and Yongzheng's throne is not stable! Danger and opportunity exist at the same time, of course, things can be done - Yun was provoked by these words, his heart jumped suddenly, his eyes flashed, he wanted to ask something, but he suppressed it again, and turned his face to ask Gao Qizhuo: "What's your name?" I've never seen it before! ”

"Back to the Fourteenth Master," Gao Qizhuo hurriedly bowed and said with a smile, "The minister was formerly the acting prefect of Chengdu, Sichuan, and he has been outside, and he was only transferred to the Ministry of Rites a few days ago, so he has no fate to meet the Fourteenth Master." "This person is dry and thin, with a pair of black bean eyes blazing, only a pockmarked face and a little broken appearance, clever and smart, at a glance, he is a character who can move with a press of news. Yun tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "I remember, you look at feng shui well." The book you wrote, "Kanyu Family Words", is very interesting. Suddenly thinking that Gao Qizhuo was the person promoted by Li Wei, the former superintendent of the grain general office in Nian Qianyao's account, he kept silent again. But Gao Qizhuo was scratched by him, and said endlessly: "Feng Shui is said to be in the Han Dynasty and in the Tang Dynasty, and geography should be astronomical, and there are unpredictable mysteries. When the first emperor was there, Zeng ordered the minister to accompany the Qintianjian Yuanming to Fengtian to see the great grandfather's Fuling, and later came to Zunhua, Yuanming took a fancy to a piece of land: that place from the head of the dragon from the Lying Yan Mountain, a drum and a drum and a drum down, shaped like a turtle's back like a long snake, stretching straight down to the southeast, is connected with the ancestor Jingling. He said that this land is good, and I said that this land is the land of generals, not the land of kings, and if you do not believe it, if you dig down, there will be water under eight feet. Tell people to plan, and sure enough! Even Yuan Ming was convinced, and asked the ministers to accompany them to look at each other, and later chose the Jingling Tomb of Emperor Daxing! The ancestral tomb of the scholar Zhang Tingyu also invited me to see it, and I said yes, but I am afraid that it will hinder Ling Gongzi, and Yu Lingdi will also be disadvantaged, which is a fly in the ointment. Now Zhang Xiang's second son is really in a hurry, and Xiangye's third brother Tinglugong was also demoted the year before last. I'll just say a word today, I've also seen the ancestor of Old Lady Yin, Ling Gongzi has been admitted to the exam, not in the current department, if not in the top three, please gouge out my eyes! He chattered in his mouth, gestured in a fluttering manner, how to look at the direction of the mountain, detect the earth's qi, it seemed that the dragon and the earth's veins, and he said that he was spitting everywhere, and everyone was only stunned when he heard it. Arsuna said lukewarmly: "I can't imagine that my brother is so familiar with the principle of yin and yang, and the heavens are made, and my brother will definitely be able to choose a better tomb for today's long live." ”

Sometimes a sentence is like a sluice gate, which can block the topic like a tide. Originally, the emperors of the past dynasties chose the mausoleum when they ascended the throne, which was not a taboo thing, but Kangxi's bones were not cold and had not yet been buried, the Beijing division was in danger, and it was difficult to say whether Yongzheng's emperor sat firmly or not. Gao Qizhuo also consciously lost his temper, blushed, lowered his head to eat tea, and no longer said anything earthy "sweet and bitter".

"I'm tired, too," Yun said, standing up and yawning, "I'll rest for the night as I will." Gao Qizhuo is good at being able to make public opinion, and it may not be without deep meaning to call him in. Mr. Qizhuo has spare time, and will show me a piece of land in the future, not seeking wealth in the world, but seeking peace from generation to generation, so please pay attention. With that, he let go of his hand, and everyone hurriedly bowed down and quit.
