Chapter 343: The world was shocked when the bad news came

Speaking of a group of brothers, in addition to Yinzuo himself, he is Yinzhen shrewd, and he is not easy to deceive, but people have weaknesses, and they can be broken if they have weaknesses, the fourth child cares too much about power, although he says that he does not take power, but in fact, he and Yinzuo are all the way, and they are all masters of good power, which is about the inheritance of the old man Kangxi. Yinzhen is now no longer on errands, and it is impossible to point fingers in the face of his subordinates, and can only act through his minions and those sub-officials who are attached to him, so that the status and strength of the minions under his door are very important, and it is precisely Yinzuo who saw Yinzhen's situation to be able to blind Yinzhen - originally Yinzuo planned to use the currency reform plan to catch Yinzhen to take the bait, but was vetoed by Wu Sidao, without him, if the fourth child is given the opportunity to manage the household department again, I don't know how much right and wrong to provoke, at this critical moment, you can't let a tiger like Yinzhen out of the cage again.

Yinzuo originally didn't have a full grasp of being able to cover Yinzhen, but anyway, if he was blinded, he was blinded, and he deceived Tiao Chen, but the matter was not over, if you want to hold these two platforms in your hands, there are still many joints to pass, first of all, you have to discuss the ministry, that is, you have to pass the two levels of the household department and the official department, and then the minister of the study signs the opinion, followed by the old man Kangxi with a jade seal, and finally the introduction, that is, the person who takes office must go to the old man Kangxi to resign, so twists and turns, can be regarded as a real thing.

It is not difficult to discuss the ministry, with Yinzhen's article, coupled with Yinzuo's own influence, the household department is basically no problem, as for the ministry, it is Ma Qi who is in charge again, with Yinzuo's face, there will not be much problem with the ministry, as for the study to sign the opinion, it is better to do, Yinzuo signed it by himself, and it is not a problem for the old man Kangxi to use the jade seal, the reason is very simple: the old man is no longer very director, but where the abridgements reported in the study, the old man basically rarely refuses them, and as for His Majesty's resignation, it is a little troublesome- Zhou Yongcheng is nothing in Beijing, and he can teach the etiquette of entering the palace, but Li Wei is now in Chengdu, Sichuan, and he has to resign early if he wants to enter Beijing, otherwise if things drag on, the change will be big, but this is not difficult for Yinzuo, since he hit Yinzhen's palace, Yinzuo first went back to Changchun Garden to take a turn, grabbed Ma Qi, who was busy with farts and urine, and insisted that Comrade Lao Ma sign the opinions of the officials first, and then went to the household yamen in the city in person. With the approval of the Ministry of Officials, Xu Chao hurriedly convened the relevant people to convene the Ministry of Affairs, Yinzuo sat in the Yamen of the Ministry of Household and waited, stunned for half an hour, and finally signed his own name from the Inner Song Office to the old man Kangxi with the jade seal, and it was easy to get the stall done, so he went home, and by the way, let the "Honghu" use the flying pigeon to inform Li Wei to pack up and prepare to enter the Beijing Saint.

Originally, according to Yinzuo's estimate, the news of the defeat could not reach the Beijing division until at least November 2, but in fact, bad news always came faster than good news, and the first to learn the news of the defeat was not Yinzuo, the head of the study, but the old fourteenth in charge of the military department.

Although the military department of the Qing Dynasty is also called the military department, I am afraid that it is the most pitiful military department in all dynasties. It is not a simple matter for the army to go out, it is not a matter of men and horses who can go up with dry food to fight, the grain and grass, artillery, shells, bows, arrows, knives and guns, and even cloth, military flags, tents, charcoal, etc. The officials of the military department are all tossed enough by the old fourteen, but if there is a mistake, the one who waits for it will be scolded by all the scolding, and from time to time they can eat a "leather whip" feast.

The number of cannons sent by the Ministry of Industry is a little wrong today, and the old fourteenth is angry and doesn't care that the Ministry of Industry is Yinzuo's territory, so he ran to negotiate with himself, and forced Yu Chengchan to admit his mistake as an old comrade, and then he stopped making up for the shortfall, and tossed for most of the day, and only returned to the Ya when it was almost dark, and it was too late to take a rest, Liu Shuangcheng, the squire of the Ministry of War, hurriedly ran over, holding an official letter in his hand, and whispered anxiously: "Fourteenth Master, the urgent letter from the front has just arrived at this time, the front line has been defeated, and the whole army has been annihilated!" Fourteenth Master, such a major event must be played in front of the Holy Lord immediately. ”

"What?" The old fourteen jumped up suddenly, stood bleakly for a while, and it took a long time to wake up, snatch the official document in Liu Shuangcheng's hand, and take a closer look, but it was an emergency document sent by the Xining garrison and the Tartars, and it was stamped with the customs of Bowen, the governor of Shanxi. The letter is not long, it is very scribbled, and there are a lot of typos, which shows that this letter is in a hurry, and the curb is just a coarse martial artist, but the details of the defeat at the front line are written on it, saying that the defeated soldiers have fled back, and only a few dozen people from the 60,000 army have returned alive, and the rest are all killed.

Old Fourteen stood pale for a long time, suddenly came back to his senses, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Shuangcheng, does anyone else know about this?" ”

"No, the slave rushed here as soon as he received the letter, and he didn't even have time to report it to the sixth master." Liu Shuangcheng replied very respectfully.

"Okay, this matter is important, don't divulge it lightly, go, let's go to your master together." The old fourteen said to go, no matter what Liu Shuangcheng thought, strode out of the yamen, led a group of Zi Goshha towards Prince Yi's mansion galloped away, Liu Shuangcheng did not come on a horse today, looked at the back of the old fourteen galloping, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and shouted: "Prepare a sedan chair." He also rushed to Yinzuo's palace.

"Sixth brother, it's not good, the front line has been defeated, and the whole army has been wiped out! Miserable! All 60,000 horses were gone. "The old fourteen never needed Yinzuo to greet Yinzuo when he came to Yinzuo's mansion, he was used to coming, as soon as he entered the study, he didn't have time to take a breath, and immediately shouted, but there was no sadness in his voice, but there was a slight hint of excitement.

, this stinky boy is thinking about going on the expedition in his heart, look at his excitement. Yinzuo couldn't live the war addiction by himself, and when he saw that the old fourteenth was hopeful, he couldn't help but feel a little pantothenic acid in his heart, and he tasted good, but Yinzuo City was deep, and it would not be revealed, but he pretended to be shocked and said: "What? How can it be? Old Fourteen, you're not talking nonsense, are you? ”

"Sixth brother, the military report has arrived, you see." The old fourteen excitedly took out the battle report sent by the Xining garrison and handed it to Yinzuo.

Although Yinzuo had already expected such a result, but when he saw the battle report with his own eyes, he still couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and was secretly sad that he was unable to prevent such a tragic tragedy, tears flashed in his eyes, and he finally endured it, and said with a faint sigh: "Fourteenth brother, this matter is important, and it can't be delayed, so you have to go into the garden immediately to face the saint." Let's go, my brother will go with you. Alas, Huang Ama's body and bones have not been very good recently, and it is difficult to say whether he can withstand such a blow. ”

"Sixth brother, if this matter is spread like this, then ......" Old Fourteen said with a hesitant expression.

Alas, this stupid boy, at the end of the year, he still thinks about the handsome position, and wants to start first, you don't want to think about the eighth guy's official face is very broad, at this time, I am afraid that I will also get the news, and I will grab a fart first, but this handsome position is definitely yours, and the eighth is just busy. At this juncture, Yinzuo didn't want to explain too much, just shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Okay, the sixth brother knows in his heart, he must let you take charge of the capital, let's go, let's figure out how to tell the old man Huang Amata about this, alas." ”

As soon as the old fourteenth heard that Yinzuo promised to ensure that he was in command of the battle, he immediately became happy, grinned, and was so angry that Yinzuo glared at him and said: "Stinky boy, laugh, when you get in front of Huang Ama in a while, you kid will cry to me!" ”

Cry? As soon as the old fourteen thought of crying, he was immediately a little dumbfounded, stunned for a while, and didn't speak, but suddenly strode towards the back garden, most of them would sneak back, and said with a smile: "Sixth brother, it's okay, the tears are enough." ”

No way! This stinky boy must have harmed the red peppers planted by Minglan , yes, this time we should think about how to explain to the spicy girl. Yinzuo saw through what trick Lao Fourteen was playing at a glance, stroked his forehead with his hand, smiled bitterly, and roared angrily: "Go!" Out of town! The old fourteen shrugged his shoulders, and Yinzuo went out of the palace, the two brothers did not take a sedan chair, they each turned over and got on their horses, and planned to go out of the city, at this time, Liu Shuangcheng finally arrived, Lao Yuan fell off the sedan chair, rushed to Yinzuo, knelt down and said: "Master, the west ......"

Yinzuo waved his hand and said: "Shuangcheng, this king knows about this, you go back to the house first, and after that, this king will give you a job, go." As soon as the words fell, the horsewhip in his hand hit the horse's buttocks, and the horse took the lead, rushing towards the city gate, the old fourteen, Qingsong and others hurriedly followed, and the group galloped and disappeared into the twilight that was about to fall.

Yinzuo's palace is not far from the Changchun Garden outside the city, but it is not close, there are ten miles of land, hurry up and hurry, to Changchun Garden is already a unitary moment, the garden door has been locked, even if Yinzuo is the minister of the guard, but today is not the day of Yinzuo's duty, there is no holy oracle, Yinzuo can not enter the garden, helpless, can only take the old fourteen to get off the horse at the gate of the garden, let the good battalion military guarding the garden first go to inform Fang Bao who lives in the garden, and then handed over his own and the old fourteen signs, asking to face the saint.

Fang Bao came very quickly, and when he saw the Yinzuo brothers, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace: "The grass people have seen the two princes, but I don't know what the two princes are ......."

"Mr. Fang, don't be like this, you are Huang Ama's mentor and friend, and this king can't afford your courtesy." Yin Zuo hurriedly turned his body sideways, refused to accept Fang Bao's big gift, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Fang, at this time, I still disturb your rest, and this king is really a last resort, alas, the west has been defeated, and the whole army has been wiped out." ”

"What, what?" Fang Bao's small eyes shrank first, staring at Yinzuo's eyes, and only sighed for a while: "The prince is here at this time, presumably the matter is true, the military report must have arrived, alas, 60,000 lives." ”

"Mr. Fang, how to talk to Huang Ama about this, you have to come up with an idea, if Huang Ama is ......, how can this happen." Yinzuo frowned and hurriedly said.

Fang Bao's little eyes flickered, and he said leisurely: "This is a big matter, you can't hide it, you must immediately explain it to the emperor, if you make a mistake, no one can afford it, but the prince has to take care of the proportions of his words." ”

Damn, fart is measured, is it difficult to ask Lao Tzu to lie about the military situation, this news will spread sooner or later, and it will not be hidden for a while, but how to open it is really difficult. Yinzuo smiled bitterly and didn't respond, just stood aside silently, and everyone stood still for a while, thinking about everyone's thoughts. After a long while, Li Dequan hurried over and said in a loud voice: "The Holy Prince Xuanyi Yinzuo, the King of Yongjun Yinyu will give you an audience." ”

Yinzuo casually stuffed Li Dequan with a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and said calmly: "There is Lao Li's father-in-law, has Huang Ama eaten?" ”

Li Dequan looked at Fang Bao cautiously, and replied very respectfully: "Back to the prince's words, the saint used a bowl of white porridge, and then stopped. ”

A bowl of white porridge? Alas, the old man's appetite is really much worse, and promoting this little bastard will really please the old man, ***, it's been more than a year, and the old man is not willing to let him leave. Yinzuo shook his head and didn't ask any more questions, just waved his hand and motioned for Li Dequan to lead the way.

The night has already fallen, at this time Changchun Garden is lit everywhere the palace lanterns, the whole garden is illuminated, although the sky is dark, but the road is very bright, Li Dequan carefully led the Yinzuo brothers and Fang Bao towards the smoke wave to the Shuang Pavilion, before the pavilion was outside, I heard the hearty laughter of the old man Kangxi, as if he was being carried forward and coaxed very happy, listening to the laughter of the old man, Yinzuo's heart was a little sour for no reason, and he was a little stupid for a while, and stood in a daze.

Yinzuo is majestic, he doesn't move, and others don't dare to urge him, Li Dequan looked at Fang Bao anxiously, and carefully arched his hands, which means that let Fang Bao persuade Yinzuo, don't let the old man Kangxi wait. Fang Bao thought in his heart that Yinzuo was afraid of startling the old man Kangxi, and some of them couldn't bear it, it was a manifestation of filial piety, so he sighed secretly, faked a cough, and woke Yinzuo up from his trance.

Oh, to the ground, alas, how to speak at this time. Yinzuo didn't say anything, just waved his hand, signaled that he was fine, followed Li De's whole body and walked into the pavilion, and at a glance saw the old man Kangxi wearing a Ming Emperor's robe, sitting behind the dragon table with a smile, looking at the promotion of the standing folds with a loving face, and his face was full of happy smiles.

"If you want to see me so late, can't you talk about it tomorrow?" The old man Kangxi didn't even raise his head, but just asked lightly.

Alas, the ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her in-laws, and the news of the defeat cannot be hidden. Yinzuo knelt down and said: "Huang Ama, the battle report came from the west, and the ministers did not dare to delay, so they rushed to the post as soon as they received the letter." ”

"Oh, what about faith, how was the result?" The old man Kangxi raised his head and looked at Yinzuo who was kneeling on the ground with a smile.

The result? Alas, the results were brilliant, but they were the glory of the enemy. Yinzuo gritted his teeth and didn't speak, but the expression on his face was extremely sad.

What a shrewd person the old man Kangxi was, looking at the expression on Yinzuo's face, he knew that things might not be good, put away the smile on his face, looked at Yinzuo silently for a while, and said coldly: "It's defeated, right?" Well? What are the two rice buckets of Chuanerdan and Funing'an for, 60,000 people have lost the battle against more than 20,000 small miscellaneous fish, hum, I want to punish these two unfortunate things heavily. ”

Alas, old man, you don't need to punish those two rice buckets anymore, they are done together. Yinzuo was bitter in his heart, but he always kept silent.

The old man knew at a glance that the matter was estimated to be more serious than he originally expected, his face suddenly darkened, and he snorted coldly: "Anyway, what a miserable defeat, shouldn't it have been copied by someone, huh?" ”

"Huang Ama, you have to take care, the army, the army is gone." Yinzuo kowtowed his head and said with a crying voice.

"What, what did you say?" The old man of Kangxi stood up, pointed at Yinzuo and scolded: "Bastard, how is this possible, you, you, you dare to deceive." ”

"Huang Ama, this is true, the army ambushed in the Karawusu River, asked people to make dumplings, the whole army was annihilated, the military report, the military report has arrived in Beijing." Lao Fourteen hurriedly explained, wiping the tears that didn't stop for some reason as he spoke, and his face was painful - the pepper in his eyes was naturally not too uncomfortable.

"What?" The old man Kangxi's face suddenly turned from black to white, and then from white to green, after a period of shaking, he couldn't catch his breath, his face instantly turned red again, his mouth opened, and a blood arrow spurted out, and his whole body shook and fell......
