Prince Yinren was deposed; The eldest brother Yinyu was kept in captivity; Yinxiang, the thirteenth elder brother who was originally the most favored, was kicked out of the palace and didn't even have a title; The fourteenth elder brother and below are still young, and no one is looking forward to them at all, so all the courtiers are focused on the five elder brothers, the third elder brother Yinzhi, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, the sixth elder brother Yijun Wang Yinzuo, the eighth elder brother Yinzhen, and the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen.

The third elder brother is gentle and elegant, and his literary talent is outstanding; The fourth elder brother is resolute and straightforward; The sixth elder brother is both civil and military, with outstanding military achievements, and he is the only prince among all the elder brothers; Corporal Eighth, Elder Brother Lixian, amiable; The fourteenth elder brother is deeply favored, although he is young, he has a great future, who should be protected and who should not be protected, but he has to take care of it, it is good to protect it, but if it is in case...... The consequences were a little unbearable, the ministers had no bottom in their hearts, and they didn't know who the holy will belonged to, so they were helpless, so they could only find their own disciples to find out the news, so the entire Beijing officialdom was chaotic and unorthodox.

At this juncture, the old man Kangxi's evaluation of the elder brothers' words on weekdays has become the clue for the courtiers to study desperately, and for a while, the officials of the court are very busy, the third elder brother is knowledgeable, the holy sect, the fourth elder brother is brave to do things, the sixth elder brother is a martial arts attacker, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and the eighth elder brother is enthusiastic to help others, and there are the titles of ancient sages, and the fourteenth elder brother has won the sacred heart, and other words are passed around, and they are very noisy, but those are all middle and low-level officials fooling around, and all the important ministers are closed to the door. Each thought hard, only Wang Luo and Miao Tong, the two old masters, ran around and contacted, trying to gather hundreds of officials to play Baoyinren, but there were few responders, and they were busy for a long time and did not find many like-minded people.

The courtiers are busy with one thing, but the elder brothers are another kind of action: the third elder brother was busy with the literary meeting, announcing that he would publish a "Songhe Anthology", gathering a large group of characters such as the literati and the talented people of the Beijing Division, and opened a poetry and article seminar. The door of the eighth elder brother is open, all the visitors are guests, and there is an endless stream of court officials who come to visit, although the old eight brothers did not explicitly indicate the intention of choosing the Qinggong, but that action clearly told the big guy - he is the real prince; The minions of the old fourteen men came out together, contacted each other, and implied that King Yijun supported the fourteenth elder brother to enter Yuqing Palace; The servants under the fourth elder brother also moved one after another, and they came together with the two masters, Wang Luo and Miao Tong, and they were also under the banner of Bao Yinren; The only thing in the elder brothers is not to see any movement of Yinzuo.

Yinzuo's powerful courtiers are all clear, and there are not a few courtiers who try to find out the news from the palace of Yijun County, but it is a pity that none of the courtiers can see Yinzuo, and the answers they get are all the same - the prince occasionally feels cold and does not see outsiders, not only that, but the minions under Yinzuo are also honest and honest, and they are not involved in this farce, all of them are the same as their masters - sick, closed doors.

The night of September 22, the 40th year of Kangxi, was destined to be a turbulent night, in this turbulent season, no court official could sleep soundly, visiting the door, gathering, exchanging news was inevitable, so those restaurants and brothels in the capital were suddenly full, and the officials of all sizes rushed to the field, repeatedly weighing the news they got, secretly comparing and weighing in their hearts, there were those who were energetic, those who suffered from gains and losses, and those who took the opportunity to sell news to collect benefits. It's really a record of officialdom.

Tong Guowei, as the chief minister of the study, is the minister on duty today, and he was busy all day, until it was dark before he returned to the house, and he had dinner to deal with, and just sat down in the study, but when he heard the housekeeper come to report the visit of the ninth elder brother Yinyu, he was irritable, waved his hand and said: "Just say that I am resting, please come back another day." The housekeeper answered, and was about to turn around and go out, when Tong Guowei, who felt that something was wrong, suddenly stopped the housekeeper and asked, "Slow, how many people did the ninth master bring?" ”

"Master, the ninth master is alone, and he doesn't even bring a guard." The butler bowed and replied.

"Oh?" Tong Guowei nodded, thought for a while, and said: "Please go to the lobby for a while, if someone still comes to the door, say that the old man is resting, and if there is something to talk about tomorrow, go." ”

The housekeeper left in a hurry, Tong Guowei walked around the study with his head down for a while, until the housekeeper came to report that the ninth master had taken a seat in the hall, Tong Guowei sighed as if he had just woken up from a dream and hurried to the lobby.

"Tong Zhongtang is busy, Ninth Master, I am uninvited today, there are many disturbances, forgive sins, forgive sins." As soon as Lao Jiuyinyu saw Tong Guowei, who was dressed in civilian clothes, he was the first to speak.

"Yo, what is the ninth master talking about, the old man really can't afford it, the ninth master, please take a seat." Tong Guowei bowed and said with a smile.

Yinyu sat down but didn't say a word, just chuckled and shook the folding fan in his hand, as if he was just here to drink tea, seeing Tong Guowei's heart beat the drum, these elder brothers under the knees of the old man Kangxi are not idle people, Tong Guowei has been in the court for a long time, how can he not know, although he doesn't know what Yinyu plans to say now, but his intention is obvious, it must be for the morning after tomorrow. Tong Guowei is an old fox, seeing that Yinyu didn't speak, he didn't speak, just blindly laughed, and the atmosphere in the lobby was a little weird. After a long while, Yinyu smiled and folded the folding fan, reached out and took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Tong Guowei, and said with a smile: "Uncle Guo, someone asked me to show you something, hehe, the words here are very interesting, Uncle Guo might as well take a look." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Tong Guowei's eyes, and after a little hesitation, he still reached out and took the letter, and looked at the lights in the hall, and there was a sweat on his head - there was only one copy of the letter, which was written about the various felonies committed by Tong Guowei's eldest son, second son, and third son: selling official positions, forcibly seizing and robbing, and even reaching into the field to seek fame for others, with conclusive words and evidence. Tong Guowei's hand trembled slightly, and the letter paper made a rustling sound in the quiet room, which was particularly harsh.

The Tong family is full of wealth and wealth, known as the "Tong Half Dynasty", which is both the uncle of the old man Kangxi and the uncle of the country - Tong Guowei's sister is Kangxi's biological mother, and Tong Guowei's two daughters have married Kangxi, one is the queen, the other is the concubine, the Tong family can be said to be one of the most prestigious families in the imperial relatives in the Xi Dynasty. Tong Guowei has three sons, all of whom are officials in the court, but the eldest son and second son are useless mediocre talents, only the third son, Long Keduo, has always been a saint, less than thirty-five years old, and is already a first-class guard next to the old man Kangxi.

Tong Guowei has never cared much about his eldest son and second son, but he has high hopes for the third son Long Keduo, and the future glory and wealth of the Tong family will all depend on Long Keduo. ”

"Hehe, it's really fake, there will naturally be a judgement, what does Uncle Guo think?" Yin Yu said with a smile.

"That's, that's, hehe, I don't know what the ninth master means......" Tong Guowei asked with a smile.

"Oh, it's not a big deal." Yin Yu "brushed" the folding fan, and said with a smile: "The Holy God has all the opportunities, and as a son, I should share the worries of the Holy One, right?" Hehe, Corporal Lixian, known as the 'Eight Sages King', whether it is the people's heart or the official heart, they are the best candidates for the saint's worries, what does Uncle Guo think? ”

"Oh, that's, that's, the old man thought so, but ......" Tong Guowei stopped suddenly, didn't speak, just smiled.

Yin Yu chuckled, took out a stack of things from his sleeve again and handed it over, Tong Guowei took it, glanced at it, and immediately laughed and said: "Hmm, this matter is important, the old man has to discuss it with his protégés, so good?" Tong Guowei's meaning is to support the eighth master, he will communicate with the door, Yinyu is a sober person, naturally he knows the sound, and he doesn't stay long, he got up with a smile and left. Tong Guowei was not far away, and after Yinyu went, he picked up the stack of materials in his hand and looked at it for a while, sighed, put the materials on the lamp and burned them, and was silently in a daze at the pile of ashes......

Busy, busy, busy, the big guys are very busy, the Jingshi at night is very busy, all kinds of transactions, gatherings are innumerable, Yinzuo is not idle, but unlike other brothers, Yinzuo is not busy with the matter, he has already understood the old man's plan - if anyone jumps happily at this time, who will be unlucky, Yinzuo will naturally not participate in such a bad thing, Yinzuo is busy is to rectify the "Honghu".

Yinzuo no longer participates in court politics since he was exempted from the mission, nor does he have private contacts with the courtiers, most of the sources are relying on the "Honghu", and now the "Honghu" has an accident, which is equivalent to abolishing Yinzuo's "eyes" and "ears", this time if Yinzuo has the experience of the previous life, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to pass, if you can't pull out the nails that hit the "Honghu", then the next fun will be great, so Yinzuo had to use the last trump card "dark arrow".
