The old man in the imperial city

In the end, the queen mother suppressed the matter under the pretext of being exhausted, and only said to ask Si Zhen what she meant, so she couldn't get the reputation of bullying orphans.

Yinzhen expressed no objection, either Sun Yanling, Prince Xiang, or Queen Mother, you can decide for yourself.

Turning around, the emperor gave his younger brother all the answers of the day, and pretended to ask himself: "Sun Yanling is going to be the one who wants to marry Princess Shang, why is he so careless and doesn't wipe his mouth?"

Yinhu let out a long sigh, and grabbed the harem before the master, and he could arrange it properly when he went on patrol, what a capable person.

Yinzhen looked at him: "You did it?"

Yinhu felt that it was necessary for him to clarify his role in this matter, lest the fourth boss would tease him with words such as playing tricks on people's hearts: "The generals of the Eight Banners were expressly prohibited from entering and leaving the Eight Great Alleys, but many of them did so privately. Sun Yanling In order to marry the princess to show his steadfastness, the mansion doesn’t even have a concubine, so it’s not difficult to find someone to seduce him to the Nanfeng Chu Pavilion, the key is who to find and how to make things worse.”

Yinzhen sighed: "Kong Sizhen was born in a general family, and his status is much higher than that of Sun Yanling. Apart from his stamina, he must be domineering. Presumably, gentleness and modesty with red sleeves and fragrance are the best way to relieve fatigue and attract people's hearts."

Yinhu said: "So this matter is not my brother's business, it's just because of Fengyue worry about killing people."

Yinzhen was taken aback when he heard the words, but he actually felt the same way.

It is imperative to carry out the rectification of the Eight Banners, but the implementation of this matter is quite difficult.Eight Banners are only good at horseback kung fu, they are very good at herding horses, herding sheep and fighting camels, and they treat business and farming as if they are poor shoes, so it is not easy to guide them.

At this time, Yinzhen misses Lao Jiu's skills a little bit. If he is also there, it seems feasible to toss out a Qing imperial merchant's office, but that will inevitably lead to bribery and entrustment... Forget it, I should honestly count with Lao Ba .

The Jueluo school needs to be established, and the jade system needs to be formed, but the most important thing is the follow-up to the Eight Banners enclosure.

Yinhu and Yinzhen continued to maintain a high degree of consistency in government affairs, and began to deduce the distribution of power in the Eight Banners on the self-painted small map of Chengqian Palace.

Yinzhen looked at this and commented: "Even the abundance and poverty of the fields are marked? You have a good memory." The two gathered together to look at the hand map, and concluded that Zhengbai Banner almost occupied all the fertile soil in eastern Hebei, or find a way to get it back. It is more reliable in the hands of two yellow flags.

After lighting the lanterns, Yinzhen was not satisfied, and wanted to ask his younger brother to discuss the resettlement of the refugees who had been expelled from the enclosure, but Yinhu called him back with the excuse that the Empress Dowager ordered him to copy the Buddhist scriptures, the Lotus Sutra and the Sutra of Filial Piety.

Yinzhen lost his temper: "What's the excuse to order you this time? You are always eloquent and can't even push this away?"

Yinhu was also very aggrieved: "The old ancestor said that my handwriting is good, and she likes it." The elder ordered the younger generation to copy one or two scriptures, and he really didn't bother.Besides, the queen copied ten copies, so it would not be a loss for him to copy one.

Yinzhen:……

The imperial concubine copied the scriptures under Yi's order, and the emperor had no choice but to criticize An Zhezi next to him and ponder over the decline of the Eight Banners' troops.

The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, the emperor directly took the pen from Yinhu's hand: "Don't toss about these useless things, come here and think about how to save the Eight Banners first."

Yinhu asked helplessly: "Who will copy the scriptures? Tomorrow, when the ancestors ask, is it true that the younger brother is going to say that he is busy discussing with the emperor all day and has no time to copy?"

The emperor said: "It's simple. I will copy a volume for you tonight, and I will find someone else to copy it for you tomorrow. How can your dignified prince be worthy of the Qing Dynasty and my cultivation?"

Yinhu really wanted to complain about when the fourth brother had cultivated his younger brother, but after reading the scriptures tonight, he finally got it, so he just endured it.

After drinking a cup of strong tea to refresh themselves, the two continued to chatter.

Yinhu thought that to rectify the Eight Banners, he could only cross the river by feeling the stones, especially since the Manchus had just entered the customs and won the world, and their population was far smaller than that of the Han people.

"So?" The emperor interrupted directly after listening to his younger brother talking nonsense for a long time.

"So students should be encouraged to live, but before the military service system is officially enacted, you can consider tossing some small ideas. The later generations of the Eight Banners are extravagant, all because of the disaster caused by the support system. The original intention is to let the Eight Banners live without having to work, but who knows how to indulge It has prevented the children under the banner from liking leisure and loathing work and idleness."

Yinzhen suddenly had a very cheating feeling, and felt that Lao Ba's idea must be very bizarre: "Just tell me your little idea, and let me go into details."

Yinhu dipped his hand into the tea and wrote down the word "huimeng", saying: "I just think through the huimeng that the Mongols have no fixed place to live, but every July and August they will gather in a place with luxuriant water and grass, and play games." Shepherd. This is the rule set by Genghis Khan, and it has been established after hundreds of years. If the children of the Eight Banners who have no fame can take the school exam every two or three years, they will be given the third class of A, B, C, and the last class. The imperial court Salaries are distributed according to grades, and the lowest grades have no support and must fend for themselves.”

Yinzhen's face was troubled, just thinking about it, he knew how bold this idea was and how many people it would offend.

The water stains on the table gradually dried up, and the emperor raised his head suspiciously and looked at his younger brother: "You framed me again? You let me do this kind of hard work, which offends everyone?"

Yinhu spread his hands: "Otherwise, it would be fine for the emperor to hold the concubines on the heads of the ministers and concubines, and the concubines will not be able to ask for it."

Yinzhen shut up knowingly, and Lao Ba is about to blow up again.Thinking that when we first met, he could still laugh at the matter of the reborn woman, but now a word of "concubine" can make him use the mouse - it's not that he's really afraid of the old man, it's really worthless internal friction.I have the world in my heart, and I don't care about small things.

Yinhu also took a step back: "This matter is just what I think and say, and I don't know the truth. The Eight Banners are still strong at the beginning of entering the customs. There are many ways to think, and we have a lot of time."

Only now is Yinzhen happy, and he will never leave "us" in everything, and it will not be in vain to waste my two lifetimes of painstaking cultivation.

So they stopped discussing politics, and the two copied Buddhist scriptures hand in hand, and the emperor was willing to be a gunman for his younger brother.

In government affairs, the emperor was busy setting Hong Chengchou to death, making fuss about Ji Kaisheng who had just returned to appease Confucian scholars, busy making Kong Sizhen marry into the prince's mansion to build momentum for the side Fujin, busy perfecting and expanding the sticky scale of the Shunzhi Dynasty, and even more Eyeliners were placed in the palaces of the three major vassals guarding the southwest.

The only thing Yinhu can do is to use the convenience of being in the harem to instill in Kong Sizhen the profound significance of the Manchu-Mongolian marriage to the Han officials in the dynasty, and hint at the importance of being the emperor's only younger brother. .

The Empress Dowager of Compassionate Ning Palace did not speak, the words spoken by the imperial concubine represented the meaning of the emperor.

Kong Sizhen never dared to take the empress dowager's love seriously, she had a clear mind, that's why she stuck to the half-true jokes of her parents back then, and insisted on marrying Sun Yanling.She watched the power of the harem coldly, and believed that if the queen mother really let the emperor let her go, no matter who it was, she would never allow her to give birth to an heir of Han blood.Of course, as a Han woman, reluctance to marry a foreign race is also one of the concerns.

Originally, she had already planned to marry a slave husband and live her life peacefully to win the empress dowager's few sympathies. In the future, she could find a title for herself and her husband that would be far away from the frontier.

She accepts her fate when a man cheats, but only if this man is as indomitable as her father and brother, she will be willing to be a wife and submit to guard the backyard.Unexpectedly, Sun Yanling, who had obviously climbed up to him, would dare to hang around the Bada Hutong and sell gold caves before he was engaged. Compared with this, marrying Prince Xiang is not too disgraceful to his family.

Princess Kong's mind was moved, and the queen mother couldn't insist on going her own way and force people to the emperor.Speaking of it, Kong Sizhen's marriage to Prince Xiang as a side Fujin is indeed beneficial to appease the Han officials, but in this way she must protect Prince Xiang, and she can't let people marry and become widowed.

The queen mother could only back down a step, and reached a consensus with the emperor again, if Kong Sizhen voluntarily entered the palace as a side Fujin, she would not stop her, but the emperor had to arrange a job for Prince Xiang, and he could no longer keep people around for no reason.

Yinzhen said that it doesn't matter, Boguo'er's rank is too low and he is not his opponent. If it is released to cause trouble, the noble concubine and the queen mother will not tolerate the situation becoming a big one.If it is impossible, the prince died of illness, and it is not a big deal for the noble concubine to go with her in mourning. I believe the queen mother will keep her mouth shut.

Coming out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the emperor went straight back to the Chengqian Palace.

Yinhu was still copying scriptures, and his self-consolation for this was: "It's all about practicing calligraphy and cultivating one's health and character."

The emperor rubbed his hands and watched his younger brother carefully copy the lower script, and said casually, "Let's get rid of Wu Sangui directly, do you think it's feasible?"

Of course, Yinhu didn't think about the trick of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot, but this is a temporary solution, not the root cause: "Wu Sangui is dead, and Wu Yingxiong is his own. Besides, Geng Jingzhong is gratifying, so we can't do it together?...But maybe this move is feasible." Yinhu began to lose his mind while talking, following the emperor's train of thought, walking further and further.

Yinzhen also accompanied his younger brother to look far away, dazed and imaginative.

The head of the San Francisco was Wu Sangui. After his death, Wu Yingxiong inherited his father's title, and his ability to respond to everything was far inferior to his father's.Geng Jingzhong Shang Kexi must despise Wu Yingxiong's kindness on the surface and his back.

The key point is that the later Shaanxi Admiral Wang Fuchen, Guizhou Admiral Li Benshen, Sichuan General Soldier Wu Zhimao, and Yunnan General Soldier Ma Bao, Wang Pingfan, and Wang Xu were all former subordinates of Wu Sangui. The Wu family is of the same family, but they may not be willing to conspire with Geng Shang, who have no life-long friendship.

"After Aunt Jianning gave birth to a son, why not kill Wu Yingxiong as well?" Yinhu said suddenly, so that even if Yunnan was bloodless, it would be much easier to deal with the leaderless San Francisco.

The emperor hula stood up, and said: "I will arrange it, you can think about it."

Yinhu added another sentence: "It's okay for Li Benshen and Wu Zhimao, but Wang Fuchen, a slave with a second surname, can't stay. Fourth brother should find a way to deal with it."

The emperor paused, pondered for a short moment, then nodded and said: "This man is a rare warrior, but unfortunately he is a scumbag, and he really can't be kept. It's just that Hong Chengchou just recommended him as the general soldier... Speaking of it, the ancestors wanted to reuse Hong Chengchou. The reason. I will do this with discretion, and if I want to impose a crime, I am afraid that I will not find a reason."

Yinhu smiled: "Okay."

Yinzhen and him looked at each other, full of joy and joy in their hearts.
