Prince of the Qing Dynasty

Yinfeng smiled: "Yes. It's like this in the palace, and I'm afraid it's even worse outside. I'm going to go out of the palace to see what's going on outside. I just talked about the empress dowager's grandmother, and she will go out with us. "

"Brother, don't you dare?"

Yinti was still hesitant at first, but when he heard this, he straightened his neck and said: "Why don't I dare! If I leave the palace, I will leave the palace!"

Yin Reng laughed, and to deal with a child like Yin Teng, the aggressive method was the most effective.Last time in elder brother's office, he didn't help Wu Yashi, and Yinti insisted on helping Wu Yashi, so he could see that Yinti didn't really want to help Wu Yashi, but just saved a little bit of childish anger That's all.He said clearly today that he was going out of the palace to handle errands, and with Yinti's temperament, he would definitely follow.

Seeing Yinti stand up and go out, Yinreng followed behind and added: "Brother wants to leave the palace, you still have to explain to Concubine Hui? If Concubine Hui can't find someone, I'm afraid she will be anxious."

Yinti didn't want Yinreng to look down on him, so he waved his small hand immediately: "Don't tell my mother, I can make the decision myself!"

Before going out, Yinti only told his little eunuch: "If Erniang comes back to my whereabouts, tell Erniang that I have left the palace with the prince. There is no need to send anyone to look for me. I will come back after I finish my business." !"

After all, he didn't take anyone with him, so he followed Yinfeng away in a big way.

In front of Yinfeng, he was unwilling to show his cowardice and fear just now.Seeing Yinreng's faint smile, he felt that if he flinched again, he would be particularly ashamed.

Furthermore, he also has some considerations of his own.If she told Er Niang that he was leaving the palace, Er Niang would definitely not let him go.Just now Yinfeng also said that he was going out of the palace to observe the people's sentiments and see the situation in Beijing. Fortunately, Huang Ama followed suit when he came back.If Er Niang stopped him from letting him go, then when Huang Ama came back, only Yinfeng could speak in front of Huang Ama, and his impression of Huang Ama would only be that of the elder brother Terrified, I stayed in the tent for three days.

He doesn't want to leave such an impression on Huang Ama, so he must follow Yinrong out of the palace!

In the past, when he was reading a collection of scriptures and history in the upper study room, he always heard the masters talk about the great principles in the books, such as self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace. He only knew the meaning of the text, but he had never personally experienced it.Huang Ama was always able to go out of the palace to observe the people's sentiments, and sometimes he would share some scenery and customs along the way with his mother, and he learned from his mother that he was always fascinated by what he heard, so he always hoped that he could hurry up When I grow up, I can follow Huang Ama to experience the people's sentiments.

This kind of longing stirred in his heart, which also prompted him to agree to Yinfeng's invitation.

Yinreng successfully brought Yinti to the Empress Dowager Renxian. According to Yinreng's prior arrangement, the three grandparents and grandchildren quietly left the palace in a carriage.

It is said to be quiet, but it is not entirely true.Coming out of the Forbidden City, going out of the inner city and entering the residences of the outer city, there was quite a lot of movement along the way, but because of the previous instructions from the Empress Dowager Renxian and Yinfeng, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to be too ostentatious, and the guards did not dare to be too ostentatious. Therefore, the three grandparents and grandchildren were able to leave Chongwenmen in an ordinary carriage and arrived at the disaster-stricken area of ​​the outer city.

It was the first time for Yinti to go out of the palace, and his heart itched unbearably. As soon as the carriage stopped, he raised the curtain and looked outside. After only one glance, he let out an ah, retracted his hands as if they were scalded, and frowned. He muttered with a straight face: "Why is it different from what I thought outside? It's like hell on earth."

Yinreng glanced at him, stood up and raised the curtain of the car to get off: "Brother still expects the horses and horses outside to make a noise, peace and happiness? The palace is like that, so it's hell on earth outside. If the elder brother is afraid Dead people, don't get out of the car."

Before Yinfeng could go out, Empress Dowager Renxian grabbed his sleeve, looked at him nervously and said, "You want to get out of the car?"

"Didn't you tell me that you just came out to have a look?"

Yinfeng smiled, put his little hand on the Empress Dowager Renxian's and patted it lightly, and then said: "Grandmother, you can't just watch it in the car, right? Since they have already left the palace, it is natural I have to get out of the car to have a look. Don’t worry, grandma, I won’t get too close, just go out and have a look. However, the outside is unclean after all, and it’s a place that has suffered a catastrophe, so grandma doesn’t want to get out of the car.”

After saying that, he looked at Yinti again and said with a smile, "Brother, I'm going down first."

Yinrong got out of the car and saw that the streets and alleys of the houses were devastated, which was much worse than the situation in the palace.

For three days after the earthquake, I don't know how many houses were destroyed, how many people were crushed and killed, as far as he could see, there were many people sitting on the ruins of their houses in disgrace, and some women and children were not dressed. Covering the body, its feelings and appearance are unbearable to witness.When the guards find the dead, they will carry the dead to the side and put them on the side, cover them with a white cloth, and bury them when they can, and burn them when they can.

The sky was dark and dark, and the air was filled with sour and decaying smells. If you smell it too much, you will feel dizzy. In such a gray scene, the arrival of the three of Yinrong is like a bright light, which is too eye-catching some.Even though they were as simple and low-key as possible, the untimely carriage and the attitude of standing on the sidelines still attracted the attention of many people.

Many people looked at the luxurious clothes on Yinreng's body and the soldiers standing far behind him, secretly guessing who he was and what he was doing here.

The guards did not dare to act rashly, they recognized them, although the carriage was ordinary, but the guards of the carriage were guards of the Eight Banners, which showed that this luxurious young man was either a relative of the emperor or a member of the clan, they could not afford to offend him, Simply ignore it and just concentrate on doing the thing at hand.

Yinti also got out of the car. He has been nestled in the tent for the past three days and has not been out. He has not seen many tragic scenes in the palace. When he suddenly saw this scene, he was very scared, and even his calves were shaking. Feeling weak, he has never seen a dead person until he was seven years old, let alone so many dead people at once!

But he didn't want to show it, and walked up to Yinrong step by step, and happened to hear him muttering: "After a big disaster, there must be a big epidemic."

Yinti's heart trembled, and he asked, "Plague, plague?"

He boldly glanced at it again, and said: "If the prevention and treatment is timely, I don't think it will be like this? Didn't it mean that Huang Ama has issued an order to order the Ministry of Households to discuss disaster relief matters quickly? Just wait for the money to be allocated. Are you all right?"

"Does this look like disaster relief to you?"

Yinreng turned his head and glanced at Yinti, raised his chin and said, "Did you see those dead people? It's hot today, and if you delay for one more day, the chance of getting sick will increase. This is something that dead people can bring." , and the matter of living people! When the weather is bad, if someone is sick, it is also the source of the epidemic. This has not yet talked about disaster relief, brother, you know that disaster relief is like firefighting, Huang Ama really The decree was issued to the Ministry of Households to discuss it quickly, but this decree arrived in these two days, no matter how soon the Ministry of Households is, can it be discussed tomorrow? Official papers, I am afraid that it will be endless, and approvals must be made. Only if Huang Ama’s decree Zhu approves it. If the money is allocated, I’m afraid that the epidemic will also break out by then!”

"Isn't disaster relief just such a charter?"

Yinti was dizzy from the sour smell in the air, and covered his nose with his hands, "Who dares to hold his head up and make decisions without following orders? Even if they can't afford to wait, they have to wait. Besides, the government is slower, but It’s not like there’s no other way, the relief porridge factory and officials and gentry can save themselves too!”

What Yinfeng wanted to talk about was not these, and he didn't want to discuss the right and wrong of officialdom with Yinti. He had more important things to say, which was also the purpose of his trip. With a sigh, he said softly: "If one party is in trouble, all parties will support it. It is true that we cannot rely solely on the government, nor can we only rely on them to save ourselves. In fact, I think that our wealth and life are safe, and we are princes and elder brothers, so we have an obligation to help them. Do your best. Even if Huang Ama knows, she will praise us for loving the people like children. I just don’t know if Big Brother will do it with me?”

Yinti had never heard this before, so he smiled and said, "Your word is new. Tell me, how do you want to do your best?"

He knew that Yinreng must have something in mind to pull him out, so he waited for Yinreng to speak. He didn't care about this nosy business. Anyway, there are university scholars and household department. He is a minor elder brother, why join in the fun?But Yinfeng said something that moved him. If Huang Ama knew that he had also done his best for the victims, he would definitely praise him.And he wanted this compliment.

Yinfeng wanted to do his best, he agreed, and he had to be more dedicated than Yinfeng, this is the right way.

Yinfeng smiled and said: "I want to jointly initiate a donation in the palace with my eldest brother, and all the proceeds will be donated to these victims. Everyone in the palace can donate as long as they are voluntary, regardless of clothing. , jewelry, silver. As long as it is useful, it will be fine. Then the Ministry of Internal Affairs will make a register and register it, and then distribute it to the victims. What do you think, brother?"

"When Huang Ama comes back, this booklet will naturally be presented to Huang Ama. When the time comes, it will be up to Huang Ama to decide on the merits and rewards."

"You join me?"

Yinti shook his head, "This is not good. Although you are the crown prince and I am the elder brother, this palace is the residence of the concubines of the Empress Ama after all. I am afraid that there are not many people who can accept our invitation. According to me Said, it should be your second brother who made the initiative, and you should be the first to take the donation, and then the three women who act as agents of the palace will jointly sign it, and I will personally supervise it, so that it is in line with the rules. What do you think, second brother?"

Yinti refused to share such a great good deed, the opportunity to become famous in front of Huang Ama.If he gets involved with Yinfeng in this matter, I'm afraid his prince's brilliance will cover him up.So Yinti vetoed Yinreng's words.

He is not afraid of Yinreng's anger, Yinreng does not have the support of his mother in the harem, even if he kisses the queen mother, but the queen mother is a careless person, and there is no way to support her in the harem.Without him, Yinfeng would not be able to do this.If Yinreng undertakes this matter alone, he has no foundation in the harem, and I am afraid that few people in the harem will listen to him.

But Yinti is different, he is the eldest son of the emperor, and his wife, concubine Hui, is now in charge of the palace affairs. She has been in the palace for many years and has a deep foundation. As long as she is willing to nod, it is a matter of good deeds Son, Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong will not object either.Then this matter is very feasible.So this time, if he insists on grabbing the big head, the only ones who become famous are him and his mother-in-law.

Yinfeng didn't even think about it, he nodded immediately and said: "What elder brother said is right, just do as elder brother said!"

He doesn't want those false names, he just wanted to help these disaster victims, since Yinti agreed, he naturally wouldn't fight with Yinti.
