[Qing Chuan] Mu Emperor's Grace

After coming out of Prince Cheng's mansion, He Shen sat in the sedan chair and sorted out his thoughts back and forth.

Until today, he has realized the great wisdom of "the dragon has nine sons, but the sons are different".Among the princes, there are those who are very eager for the superior position, and naturally there are some who are dismissive of the superior position.

When He Shen was sitting in the study, what he wrote down was "Twelve Elder Brothers".He thought of that immature face that often had a serious expression, and he couldn't help sweating for Yongxin.

Gansu is a hard bone. Although Wang Danwang has been transferred to be the governor of Zhejiang, the foundation of Gansu is still there.

Three days later, when He Shen walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, what he saw was Hongli pacing repeatedly in front of the table.Seeing He Shen coming in, Hongli just glanced at him and didn't speak.

He Shen knew in his heart that it must be because of the memorial, so he immediately knelt down and said, "He Shen kowtows to the emperor."

The young man used this method to break the silence, and Hongli couldn't be bothered anymore. Seeing the young man kneeling on the ground, he frowned and said, "What are you doing, flat body."

After Heshen stood up, Hongli handed him a document: "This is your advice?"

He Shen glanced at Hongli's hand, nodded and said, "Yes."

"Isn't Yong Xing not good? You are so talented and talented, why do you choose Yong Xing?"

He Shen said calmly: "The emperor already has an answer to this question? Prince Cheng is indeed good at writing, but not good at governing the country. Doesn't the emperor think so?"

The emperor, who had been overwhelmed by someone, had a slightly relaxed expression on his face.He stared at the words "Twelve Elder Brothers" on Heshen's notebook, which seemed to be written by Hongli himself.

Hongli let out a long sigh, supported his forehead and said, "The decree is that the twelfth elder brother Yongzhen and Agui will leave for Gansu immediately without delay."

When Yongzhen received the decree, he couldn't believe his eyes, as if he was finally no longer the transparent person who was ignored in front of Huang Ama.

When he made the decision to go to the imperial mausoleum, he really had the intention of escaping.He wanted to escape from the cold front and back arrows in the palace, he wanted to escape from his hypocritical brother and brother Gong, and he also wanted to stay with the imperial grandmother for a longer time.But when he lay on the narrow and hard bed here every day and night, swallowed by the coldness, he knew that he didn't belong here, and he could seek a moment of tranquility, but he couldn't just hide for a lifetime.In the deep palace, there is also the queen mother who is looking forward to him.Although there are rumors that Ulanara is going crazy day and night, Yongxin knows that no matter what his biological mother has forgotten, she will definitely remember him.

Yong Xin looked to the side to tidy up the soft clothes for him, and his heart trembled: I really want to leave.

Shi Gege handed him the package containing the clothes, and smiled at Yongzheng: "Brother Twelve, take care all the way."

Ah Gui and a group of officers and soldiers were waiting outside, Yong Xing nodded at Shi Gege, got on his horse, and embarked on the road to Gansu.

Ah Gui was originally a marcher, and he originally thought of hiring a carriage for Yongzhen, but he didn't want to travel along the way. He thought that the twelfth elder brother, who was rich and rich, had never complained about being tired.This perseverance and endurance really impressed Agui.

Ah Gui pointed forward with a whip, and said loudly: "Twelve elder brothers, Yulin Mansion is ahead of you, and you will reach Gansu in a few days." There are more than eight days, even a battle-tested fighter like Ah Gui is a bit tired.

The officer of the subordinate handed the water bag to Yongxin. Agui's eyes were sharp, and he saw that it was an object used by the soldiers. He was afraid that Yongxin would think it was pickled, so he hurriedly shouted: "Stupid, how can Twelve Brothers wait with you?" Let's drink a pot together, and hurry up to find a clean water bag."

Agui was worried that Yongzheng would offend the officials by saying something unpleasant, so he said this, but Yongzheng took the water bag as if nothing had happened, unplugged it, and poured it into his mouth. The officials and messengers applauded one after another.

Ah Gui stared blankly at Yong Xin's actions, her heart trembled violently.Since entering the customs in the Qing Dynasty, kung fu on horseback has also degenerated with the settlement of the Manchu nobles.If it is true that the world of the ancestors was created with one sword and one gun, then today's successors, although they are the banner owners and commanders, there are not many who can really lead the army, and it is even more difficult for them to eat and live with the officials and soldiers. rare.

But Yongzheng's actions today made him see a different possibility.In the past, Agui also heard rumors that Yongzheng had a cold, arrogant and withdrawn personality, and was unkind.But looking at it now, apart from being a bit cold-tempered, she is also very easy to get along with.

Yong Xing didn't know that Ah Gui's impression of him had quietly changed, and the group traveled day and night, and finally arrived at Lanzhou Mansion.The governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Le Erjin, and the chief envoy of Gansu, Wang Tingzan, led a group of local officials to pick him up.

Agui was surprised to find that Twelve Elder Brothers, who had a dignified face, seemed to be a different person. They even smiled and helped Le Erjin up, and did not refuse the suggestions of the officials to clean up the dust.

His change made Agui's confidant lieutenant quite puzzled: "General, what's going on with these [-] elder brothers? They all had serious expressions all the way, but when they arrived in Gansu, it was like a different person." ?”

Agui did not dare to make rash judgments about Yongzhen's transformation. He looked at Yongxin who had a happy conversation with Leerjin and Wang Tingzan, and said in a low voice: "Wait and see what happens. If you continue to order, who dares to mess up?" Chew your tongue and punish him severely."

Agui never thought that this elder brother who looks quite indifferent on the outside, really has a way of winning people's hearts.But in half a day, Leerjin, Wang Tingzan, and even the Lanzhou prefect and others were no longer nervous in front of Yongxin.

The reception banquet started soon, and Le Erjin and the others felt quite honored to be seated next to Yong Xin.There is nothing to look forward to in the life of local officials on weekdays. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Let alone the emperor on weekdays, it is difficult to see even officials from the capital.Being able to eat at the same table with Yong Xing this time can become a talking point for showing off in the future.

The local officials who were overjoyed completely forgot the reason why Elder Brother Twelve came to Gansu and those painstakingly prepared rhetoric.

Le Erjin winked at Wang Tingzan at the banquet, and Wang Tingzan held up his wine glass knowingly, and said to Yongzheng: "Twelve princes are dragons and phoenixes among people. This time I went to Gansu, I didn't prepare well, and here I give it to you." My brother apologized."

Yongzheng glanced at him with a half-smile, but did not pick up the wine glass, but said: "This Gansu, there is a long drought and no rain, but this area of ​​Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there is a lot of rain. The so-called every family has its own roots." It has been said that the emperor intends to rebuild the embankment of the Qiantang River. To repair the embankment requires money, but seeing that the east tour costs a lot, even if there is still silver in the treasury, it cannot be spent all the time."

Elder Brother Twelve's words stunned Le Erjin and the others. Le Erjin put down his wine glass embarrassingly, and then heard Yong Xin say: "To be honest, the embankment of the Qiantang River is really important. thing." Yongzhen pointed to Wang Ting at the bottom and praised: "Say, should this embankment be repaired?"

Brother Wang Tingzan didn't dare to say no when the elder brother's words were asked before him, so he wiped his sweat and said with an apologetic smile, "Yes, of course!" : "Well said, I also think it should! So, I also want to do my part, but I, an elder brother who has not yet left the palace to build a mansion, where can I get the money?" Really took a sip of wine.

As soon as Yongzheng said this, the next part became lively, the deputy general leaned into Agui's ear and whispered: "General, when did the emperor let the embankment be repaired?"

Ah Gui has always been bold, and the big bowl he used for drinking is now replaced by the small cup, and the taste disappears after one sip, which is quite unsatisfying.He smacked his mouth, pretending to be angry and said: "You elm bump, you haven't realized that this is Twelve Elder Brother's plan, let's find out what's going on with them."

Then the lieutenant suddenly realized, and when he looked at Leerjin carefully, he and Wang Tingzan looked at each other, and the corners of their lips showed some secret smiles in unison: The twelve princes of affection asked them for money, but This problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

If he hadn't been concerned about the people present, Le Erjin would probably have laughed out loud on the spot. It was a waste of Wang Danwang's worrying for a long time, sending him a letter several provinces away, telling him to deal with it carefully.But right now, even Elder Brother asked him for money, if he could send the money embezzled by the donated prison to Twelve Elder Brothers, wouldn't he be able to rest easy from now on.

He looked at Wang Tingzan, and as expected, he also saw excitement in his eyes, and immediately began to find all kinds of excuses to pour wine into Yongxi.This time, Yong Xin seemed to have opened his heart, and after being persuaded to drink a few drinks, he soon became drunk.

While Le Erjin was taking good care of Yongzheng, of course he would not forget the famous Gui Zhongtang.Compared with Yongzheng, pleasing Agui is absolutely beneficial and has no disadvantages. After all, Twelve Elder Brothers may not necessarily be able to become a great treasure, but Agui is a real veteran.

With such thoughts in mind, Ah Gui was of course given a lot of alcohol, but Gui Zhongtang was able to drink a thousand cups, and while he was drinking, his eyes were closely watching the movements of Twelve Elder Brothers.With a sound of "ding", the wine glass in Brother Twelve's hand fell to the ground and turned into fine pieces of porcelain.However, the owner of the cup didn't seem to notice it at all. He stared with a pair of blurred eyes, looked around for the cup, and kept muttering: "Where is the cup, where is my cup?"

Agui saw the right moment, stood up from her seat with a "teng", stepped forward to support the crumbling Yongzheng, and said loudly: "Brother Twelve is drunk, let me send him back to the room first."

Le Erjin originally wanted to stay in Yongxin for a while longer, but seeing Agui guarding Yongxin like a door god, he lost the courage to speak again, so he had to compromise and said: "I am also drunk when I look at the twelfth elder brother, Gui Zhongtang really has done a lot of hard work..." Ah Gui didn't like to hear such flattery, and before Le Erjin could finish speaking, she strode away with Yong Xin on her arm.

Yong Xing hung limply on Ah Gui's body, and when he walked outside, feeling the touch of the wind blowing on his face, he laughed softly, and while speaking, a smell of alcohol came over his face: "Wait, Gui Zhongtang, would you like to make a bet with me, how much money will Le Erjin and Wang Tingzan give me?"

Ah Gui kept his face sullen and didn't speak, he looked at Yong Xin's face flushed from drinking, and felt chills in his heart.Yongzhen's drinking capacity is definitely not good. He used the method of killing one thousand enemies and harming eight hundred to find out the details of the officials in Gansu. Even Agui was counted by him, so he had to accompany him to finish the performance a play.

Ah Gui reprimanded in a low voice: "It's just nonsense."

Facing the cool night wind, he heard Yong Xin chuckle.

Agui sent Yongzheng to the room, and was about to leave, but saw Yongzheng lazily lying on the table, and said in a protracted tone: "Gui Zhongtang, don't you solve the trouble on that couch for me? Walk?"

Ah Gui was startled, after what Jing Yongzhen said, he lifted the curtain of the bed as if he remembered something.

Inside lay a trembling woman wrapped in a quilt, and Agui knew without thinking that there must be a young girl's beautiful breasts under the quilt.

Ah Gui had no choice but to tear the tent into cloth strips, tied up the girl and put her on the side of the bed.After he finished all this work, the bed was too messy to look at, but Yong Xin didn't care about it, he just recovered a cold face, and his scrutiny eyes almost scared the woman to tears.Yong Xing wiped his hands, and said coldly: "If you dare to make a sound, I will gag your mouth. You also know that if I throw you out of this door, what will happen to your future fate."

Seeing that the girl was so frightened that she even suppressed the tears in her eyes, Yong Xin slowed down her tone again and said, "But don't worry, if you stay obediently and don't disturb our affairs, after the matter is over, this will be done." Your lord will settle you down." Yong Xing said, pointing at A Gui.

The woman was reassured, and looked at the two timidly. Seeing that the two did not seem to be malicious, she gradually relaxed.

Yongzhen and Agui were like this, one sitting on the stool and the other sitting on the couch, waiting silently.

Not long after, there was a real knock on the door, and a servant outside said softly: "Twelve Brothers, Twelve Brothers."

Yong Yan inside the door said angrily as if someone had disturbed his dream: "What are you making a fuss about?"

The attendant replied: "Lord Le and Lord Wang ordered the younger one to bring ginseng seeds to Elder Brother. They said that Brother Twelve, you drank too much today, and you need to make some ginseng tea to take it easy."

Yong Xing let out an impatient murmur, and ordered: "Put the things on the table, step back."

The attendant responded, but suddenly froze the moment he opened the door.Brother Twelve was not asleep, but he was clearly sitting at the table.The attendant reacted for a long time, but he didn't know what he thought of, and wanted to yell, Ah Gui came out from the side in time, raised his hand and aimed at the back of the attendant's head, the attendant didn't even have time to make a sound, Just passed out.

Yong Xing weighed the box on the table with his hand, handed it to A Gui and said, "Look at it."

Ah Gui opened the box in front of Yong Xin, and when he saw the contents of the box, he couldn't help but froze.Where is the ginseng in the box, it is clearly a neat bank note.

But Yongzhen was not surprised, he sneered: "It's really a lot, you count the number, don't make a mistake."

Even Agui, who holds a high position, has never seen so many bank notes in cash. He nodded tremblingly at the bank note, which was as much as 50 taels.As if to match their mood at the moment, it started to rain outside.

The sound of rain hitting the eaves made Agui tremble all over.As soon as he let go of his hand, the banknotes fell to the ground one after another.

Yong Xing bent down and picked up the bank notes one by one: "Long drought and no rain? What is going on in the sky now? Believe it or not, if you ask Le Erjin tomorrow, he will talk nonsense, yes It was because I arrived in Gansu that I brought blessings, and the heavens rained on Gansu because of my face?"

Ah Gui's brows frowned into a word of Chuan, and he slammed the table, the strength of his hands almost startled Yong Xin: "It's simply ruthless!"

Yong Xing still poured tea for Agui with a cold face: "50 taels, you think they are really generous, but they just want to drag me into the water, this is 50 taels, you think they are How much did you put into your pocket?"

Agui looked at the messy house, glanced at the girl who was trying to shrink herself into a smaller size, and said angrily: "Such locust scum, we should kill them all, so as to solve the hatred in the hearts of the people!" As soon as he landed, he saw the girl tremble all over.
