so

Before the morning court, Yinfeng went to Tanningju to meet Kangxi.Kangxi got up earlier, and when he heard that Yinfeng was coming, he called him in, and he guessed that it was Yinhu's business.Yinfeng asked for peace, and then lowered his head to plead guilty: "My son punished the eighth elder brother yesterday. It was my son who didn't think about it. I also ask Khan Ama to forgive me."

"When did you call it?" Kangxi didn't say much, just asked this sentence.

"When you were ugly, you knelt for almost five hours, and when you got up, you couldn't stand up," Yinrong replied, "the imperial doctor has seen it, and there is no bone injury. These days, riding, shooting, throwing, and throwing can't help." After practicing, it will take more than a month to recover."

"Where is Eighth Brother?"

"I went to Wuyi Zhai. My son said to ask Grace to rest for three or five days before I could talk about it, but the eighth elder brother refused, saying that studying is done sitting down, so it's okay. I went at Yinshi." Yinfeng replied with his head bowed.

"I heard that you still beat someone? The eighth child is still young, usually calm, and he is still a child. At this age, it is inevitable that some words cannot be delivered. He is also very angry. You did not hurt him by doing this. Face? You have brought Yinhu with you since you were a child, and you have high hopes for him, but you have to guide him slowly when you make a mistake, how can you beat him when you get angry? When you were young, you also made a mess, did I ever beat you?"

Kangxi gave some instructions, and Yinfeng couldn't help but slander, you don't know what Yinhu did, if you knew, maybe it was a slap in the face.On the face, he still respectfully said yes: "My son has recorded it."

"Why did Yinhu piss you off? Old Ba's temperament doesn't seem like he can provoke a fire." Kangxi said, pointing to the cushion at his feet, motioning him to sit down and say.

Yinfeng bowed his hands to thank En, sat down, and then said: "Eighth elder brother begged me not to tell you, I have agreed, Khan Ama, why don't you ask?"

Kangxi looked serious, and said: "You guys are brothers, what's the matter, are you not angry?"

"Looking at the wound, I can't bear it anymore. The eighth elder brother is sincere in admitting his mistakes, minister..." Yinfeng hesitated, the words stuck in his throat, but he didn't say it.

"Hmph, if you're like this, isn't it a conspiracy to deceive me?" Kangxi's tone carried a very obvious sense of oppression.

Yinfeng straightened his body, knelt on the floor mat, supported Kangxi's leg, and said, "Khan Ama, that's not what my son meant. Calm down your anger, Rong Chen, please tell me carefully."

"The fifth elder brother went back to Wuyizhai the day before yesterday, and told the eighth elder brother a lot about the recent court affairs. The two of them have a good relationship. It’s good for people to have a word of care. The eighth elder brother has learned some government affairs from the minister since he was a child. After hearing this, he became a little cautious. He wanted the minister to help me to ask Khan Ama if he could pass the Qingming Festival. Let him and the seventh elder brother also start to stand in the court. The minister feels that the two younger brothers are still young, and these political affairs do not need to be rushed for a while, but they should learn their homework well first, so I did not agree." After finishing Milu, the conversation with Yinhu outside Taipu Xuan, although the matter is made up, the situation can be adapted.

"Brother Ba's intention to share my worries is also due to filial piety, so it's not a fault." Kangxi interjected.

"If it's just this one thing, I won't be angry with him. I thought to myself, Yinhu has been very smart since he was a child, and he is old enough. Next year, he will ask Khan Ama to give him an errand. He has experienced experience. It is the past. Ri Yinhu begged for this matter, although the minister was also angry that he didn't know the importance of homework, but he just punished him to study behind closed doors for a few days. Yesterday, Yinhu felt that he was thinking too much, and he was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he called him out after class. Tai Puxuan went, I wanted to point out his recent homework again, but he didn't want to, he got yesterday's book from my minister Tai Puxuan's close servant Ma Nan, and knew about Shamuha's request." Yinfeng sent people to investigate Ma Nan, and it was impossible to hide it from Kangxi. Besides, this was Yinhu's fault, and Yinfeng punished him, which was somewhat related to this. There was no big mistake in dealing with Kangxi. It can't go round either.

"Oh? My younger brother knows that I have put someone next to your elder brother, so you gave him a hand?" Kangxi was not very angry, smiled, and patted Yinfeng on the shoulder, asking: "How do you know that he Is it Ma Nan?"

"Yinhu said it himself," Yinreng sighed, "the minister beat him, and he probably felt wronged. He felt that he was punished for not doing anything wrong to the minister, so he said it directly."

"The old man is still a child at heart," Kangxi commented with a smile, and then asked, "This Ma Nan, have you checked?"

"I've checked, this person's family outside the palace is in charge of the eighth elder brother's Haha Zhuzi Fuerdun and Rongbao. Fuerdun is not on duty. I have already sent Rongbao to ask about it, and find someone to take it over. How to deal with it is up to Khan Ama to decide."

"Aren't you going to tell me now, what else is there to decide?" Kangxi deliberately joked with Yinfeng, and seemed to not care about Ma Nan.Seeing Yinfeng's expression of bitterness, he hid his smile and asked seriously: "I would like to know, what does Eighth Brother think about Shamuha's matter?"

"The eighth elder brother said that the punishment proposed by the minister is too light. Shamuha should be dismissed and investigated, locked up and questioned. The officials of the Ministry of Rites will send special personnel to investigate anyone related to this matter. If it is true, they will be demoted and retained. Deal with it." Yinreng replied slowly, with some worry faintly showing between his brows.

"Oh?" In Kangxi's eyes, there was something that Yinfeng couldn't see, "Eighth brother, why do you want to do this?"

"Yinhu suspects that Shamuha is being used by others to drive a wedge between the heavenly family and the relationship between Khan Ama and his minister's father and son." Yinfeng said in a low voice.

Kangxi didn't speak, and pondered for a while, before saying: "I know, since you have already been punished for this matter, and the punishment was not light, I will accept your brothers' affection and pretend that you don't know. It's getting late, you Go up to court first, I will be there later. After court, you follow me to Wuyi Zhai, to see us, the big eighth brother."

"Whoo."

After Yinfeng stepped back, Kangxi reached out and rubbed his temples, sighed, and shook his head again.Walking to the dragon case, he picked up a piece of paper that someone had just delivered. The handwriting on it was clearly that of the crown prince, but it was circled by the Kangxi Zhu pen a few times, and there was no Zhu Zhu.Kangxi took the words and looked at them again, smiled wryly, and said in his heart: You two brothers are in the same heart, one is afraid that the elder brother will be suspected, and would rather help him by forging the memorial, and the other is afraid that the younger brother will not find out, so you don’t hesitate to cooperate to deceive Ama, you still don't believe me, just say it straight, what can I do to you?Forget it, brothers and sisters should protect each other, the crown prince can't sue Lao Ba...

※※※※※※※※※

When Kangxi came down from court, he brought the crown prince and other princes to Wuyi Zhai.The seventh elder brother Yinyou and the eighth elder brother Yinhu got the news early, and they took the eleventh elder brother and the twelfth elder brother to greet them outside.Yinhu, Yinrong and I were missing from Wuyizhai, and it became quite deserted, and no one mentioned to Yinhu what happened the day before. Yinyou saw that Yinhu's legs were inconvenient, and he even avoided him as soon as he came in. Thanks to the gift, the princes studied in the morning just like usual.

Kangxi, as usual, started the test after flipping through the books casually. Yinyou and Yinhu had finished reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and it was time for them to master them. This time, the two of them were mainly tested.Yinhu was uncharacteristically this time, and answered all Kangxi's questions fluently, and his opinions could coincide with what Kangxi thought in his heart: Naturally, there was an organ in it, and Kangxi personally told the prince about the four books and five classics, and the prince probably explained it to Yinhu However, even if I didn’t talk about it, I also showed him the notebook that I took notes when I was studying.When Yinhu seldom didn't hide his clumsiness, compared with Yinyou, he immediately fell behind. Although the recitation was good, he could only explain what was said literally, but never went deep.

Kangxi was not dissatisfied with Yinyou, but he praised the prince in his heart. He felt that Yinfeng had done a good job in this small stove, and Yinhu's homework had really improved a lot. No wonder he was so anxious to go to the court to do errands.After the seventh and eighth exams, Kangxi took the third and fourth exams by the way. Fortunately, although these two have been away from Wuyizhai for a long time, their homework is not neglected, and they are not inferior to Yinhu.Kangxi asked for about half an hour, and then he had a good time. At the end, he did not forget to explain: "My eighth elder brother has a leg injury, so I don't need to practice riding and archery for a month. I can shoot a hundred arrows every day. Take good care of yourself." , don’t leave the root of the disease.”

Yinhu hurriedly knelt down to thank him, but was supported by Liang Jiugong. Because of his injury, Kangxi was also spared from kneeling here.

Yinzhen lowered his head and did not look at Yinhu.Although he wanted to forget those things that happened at night, there were some things that he couldn't just forget if he wanted to.Seeing Kangxi's kind face towards Yinhu, without any intention of punishing him, Yinzhen regretted those heartfelt words to Yinhu the day before.Thinking about it now, there are many things that shouldn't be said, and Yinzhen would never say them on weekdays.The reason why I say and do this is probably due to the strange thoughts in my heart that I don't know where.What kind of person Yinhu is, how could he put himself in a dangerous situation, and all the brothers had to rescue him together, Yinzhen secretly hoped that Yinhu would forget about these things quickly, and thought carefully about what he had done to Yinhu in the past All kinds of behaviors, I hope he hasn't caused his misunderstanding—or, can't it be called misunderstanding?

Yinzhen was thinking to himself, but no one noticed Yinzhen's ecstasy.Because Kangxi suddenly said: "Lao Ba will go to Danningju with me later."

※※※※※※※※※

Yinhu followed Kangxi all the way back to Danningju.Yinhu sat down, still feeling a little uneasy.Although everything was calculated by himself, based on his understanding of Kangxi and the prince, nothing would go wrong.But facing Kangxi, Yinhu still felt uneasy.

"Old Ba, I feel more and more that I can't see through you." Kangxi said with a sigh.

When Yinhu heard this sentence, he was startled, and hurriedly got up to kneel down to plead guilty, but Kangxi stopped him with a look.

"Eighth elder brother has always been serious. My words have no other meaning. You just sit down and listen carefully. Your fault, the crown prince has already punished you, and I don't intend to pursue it. You should remember it in your heart. This kind of thing , It’s enough to do it once, and it’s not an example. If you let me know that you have something to do with such a thing in the future, don’t blame me for not thinking about the relationship between father and son.”

Yinhu was not surprised, it seems that Kangxi already knew about Zhezi.If it was just to put nails around the prince, even if Kangxi definitely disagreed on the surface, he would never say such a serious word.What Yinfeng said still failed to hide from Kangxi's eyes.Yinhu never thought of hiding this matter from Kangxi. When Kangxi was in Beijing, Yinfeng seldom gave memorials, and always reported things face-to-face. This matter was inherently suspicious. Kangxi's people in Taipuxuan were not vegetarians , It's strange if you can't guess it.

Yinhu had a plan in mind, and Kangxi said so, so he didn't plan to punish him.Yinhu didn't care about his injuries this time, he knelt neatly, knelt down on the ground, and said: "I am guilty, the emperor is lenient, I am ashamed and dare not accept it."

Kangxi sighed, and said: "Okay, get up, I know you have no selfish intentions. Before the death of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, there was a last word to you, and I also know it. You are young, and it is not easy to do this. gone."

Yinhu originally thought that if Kangxi asked him, he would tell the truth about Xiaozhuang's last words, but he never thought that Kangxi knew all about it.Standing up, he didn't dare to sit back. He stepped aside and bowed his head and said, "Ama Khan, my son knows that he used the wrong method. Even with good intentions, it was a mistake. My son also regrets it. Although the crown prince punished him, he punished him. If you don't deserve the crime, I ask Khan Ama to punish you severely." As he spoke, his voice trembled a little.

"I have already said that I will not pursue it. It is good that you brothers are of the same heart. The matter is handled cleanly, and don't let others catch it. If you are ginseng because of this matter, I will not be able to save you." After a pause, Kangxi He also said: "I ask you, is Yinfeng's opinion of Shamuha really the same as that of the crown prince?"

It was a strange question, but Yinhu pretended not to hear it, and replied, "Yes, the crown prince just doesn't know how to speak."

"Understood, Daoxing. You don't have to go to Wuyi Zhai anymore. You didn't sleep all night last night. Go back to sleep today and take proper medicine."

"Hey." Yinhu saluted, and withdrew, only to breathe a sigh of relief.This incident finally passed without any risk.

※※※※※※※※※

In the Qingming Dynasty in the 33rd year of Kangxi, when offering sacrifices in the Xiandian Hall, the crown prince's mat was placed three steps outside the threshold, far away from the kings and ministers.After the Ching Ming Festival, Kangxi made a special order to allow Yinhu to stand in class and study government affairs with the crown prince.

In June of the 33rd year of Kangxi, Shamuha was transferred to be Minister of the Ministry of Punishments. The next month, he was impeached for accepting bribes, corrupting the law for corruption, dismissed from office, and never hired.
