so

Although Yinzhen and Yinhu live close to each other, they don't communicate often.It is indeed rare for Yinzhen to visit unexpectedly.Yinhu went to the study to greet the guests, but because he was in his own home, he didn't deliberately salute, but just nodded and called fourth brother.Yinzhen didn't bother with the rules, casually flipped through Yinhu's desk, staring at a piece of Yinhu's recent inscription with fascination.

Yinhu sat aside and poured a cup of tea for Yinzhen himself without asking anyone to come in to wait on him.He poured himself another cup, took a sip, and asked, "What's the matter, fourth brother?"

Yinzhen put down the notebook in his hand, and sat down beside Yinhu: "It's nothing, I heard that Khan Ama talked with you for a few hours today, so I came here to ask, is there something important going on?"

Yinhu smiled and said, "Fourth brother has great powers, why come to me and ask."

Yinzhen didn't care about Yinhu's teasing, he grabbed Yinhu's hand without blushing, and gently held Yinhu's palm.The fine calluses on the knuckles rub against each other, with a strange but familiar feeling, flowing into Yinzhen's heart.The sentence that was originally thought up in my heart, but when I saw Yinhu for the first time, I couldn't say it.

"How can there be any supernatural powers, now I am deaf and blind, and I am a useless person."

As if touched, Yinhu shook Yinzhen's hand lightly, sighed, and said, "There's nothing important, just one thing. If I leave, Fourth Brother remembers what he promised me."

Yinzhen guessed that Yinhu was going to Mongolia.From the beginning of using troops against Junggar, Yinhu has been deeply involved. Yinhu has always been in charge of the Lifan Academy, and no one else can intervene even if they want to.Both the government and the opposition knew that this peace talk was not going well, and it was time for Yinhu to go in person.

"It's been a long time since we saw each other again." Yinzhen sighed, "However, it's good if you go." Yinzhen had various conflicts in his heart.He also wanted Yinhu to stay in the capital, at least to be able to see him every day, and also wanted Yinhu to go away like this, so that the prince would lose his arm in Beijing, and Yinzhen would have one less concern and one less powerful enemy.

"Well," Yinhu nodded, "Ninth Brother and the others, please leave it to Fourth Brother."

"You only think about your younger brothers, and you don't think about me?" Yinzhen's tone was sour.

"If the fourth brother is jealous like this, I really can't help it. The ninth brother and the others are still children, so it's normal for me to worry about it. The fourth brother is older than me, so he can naturally take care of himself. Why bother to care about such a small matter? Could it be that Fourth Brother still wants me to entrust you to Ninth Brother's care?"

Yinzhen smiled narrowly, waved his hands and said, "No, I just want you to think about me more."

Yinhu's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and she smiled nicely. She took Yinzhen's left hand and pressed it to her heart with both hands, looked into Yinzhen's eyes, and said earnestly, "I've been thinking about my fourth brother."

Seeing Yinhu's smile, Yinzhen's heart seemed to miss a beat.Yinhu's heartbeat was transmitted to Yinzhen's palm, as if all of Yinhu's hearts were held in Yinzhen's hands.

Yinzhen felt a little sad suddenly, even if Yinhu's love was true, so what, the forbidden love destined to be fruitless, was a dead end from the very beginning.Yinzhen grabbed Yinhu's hand with his backhand, brought Yinhu's finger to his lips, kissed it lightly, and then reluctantly let go.As long as he has feelings for Yinhu in his heart, Yinzhen will never be ruthless to deal with him. As long as he sees the smiling eyebrows, Yinzhen feels that his heart is full, and he can only pretend to be a little girl.

Emotional moment, the most beautiful, but also the cruelest.Yinzhen thought that love could be buried deep in his heart, and love could have nothing to do with politics, but when love came, it swept every corner of his heart like a hurricane, making him hesitant and vulnerable.Even though he once hated, resented, and wanted everything to start in the desert, everything would stay in the desert, but Yinzhen still loves him, the love is so deep that it makes him feel scared.This love was too dangerous, it made him lose his mind, himself, and Yinzhen who was always calm, forbearing, and vicious.

But Yinhu would not.Yinhu is calm, thoughtful and perfect at all times.Even if Yinhu has him in his heart, he can keep his heart.Yinhu's position will not change, not for him.Yinzhen knew, always knew.

If things go on like this, Yinzhen feels that sooner or later he will lose to Yinhu.He is too persistent, even if he wins, it is difficult to face Yinhu.Just like the dream he often repeated, Yinhu in the dream was imprisoned in the clan mansion, and he was no longer willing to give him a sincere smile. If this is the case, it is different from ruthless.

But Yinzhen didn't want to lose, nor did he want to win so badly.Rather than waiting until later to suffer, it is better to make a decision early.After all, she used to be like a stranger, once hated to the bone, once tit for tat, if there is no love, then winning is winning, no love involved, losing is losing, open and frank.However, where should I entrust the deep affection like old wine?

However, Yinhu already has Fujin.Yinhu and Wanning are in harmony as husband and wife, they sing in harmony, they stay together and help each other, no one in the capital knows.Someone came to report today, and Yinhu went to Longfuji to buy Wanning's favorite cakes.Caring about his wife so much, where does he put Yinzhen?How could Aixinjueluo Yinzhen share a lover with a woman.

At that moment, Yinzhen knew that he would regret it one day, and that his heart would be hurt immediately, his lips were still kissing Yinhu's fingers, but he still said softly: "Let's be brothers again, okay?" ?”

Yinzhen spoke quickly and in a low voice, the sentence that seemed to leak from the depths of his throat gently circled Yinhu's ear.

Yinhu frowned slightly inconspicuously, followed by a perfect smile: "What did fourth brother say?"

Yinzhen was extremely sad at first, and his heart was as painful as a knife, but when he caught a glimpse of the Longfuji package that Yinhu put aside when he entered the door, he felt a sudden chill in his heart, as if revenge, and said fiercely: " From now on, you and I are just brothers. Unless..." Yin Zhen paused here, unable to say anything that would make him neglect Wan Ning from now on.It seems that if you say it, you will lose, a complete defeat, and irreparable.

Yinhu didn't wait for Yinzhen's condition to be spoken, he smiled wryly, and said in a very indifferent tone: "Where is the brother from the Tian family. The fourth brother said that it is going to be broken, so let's break it." The words seemed to be a sigh , containing infinite misery.Yinhu withdrew Yinzhen's hand, covered his face with both hands, buried his face in his palm, took a few deep breaths, his shoulders trembled, and Yinzhen's heart felt like a knife was twisted.

Yinzhen stood up, walked behind Yinhu, bent down and hugged him tightly, but Yinhu broke away forcefully.Yinzhen understood that this was Yinhu's pride, he let go of it a little lonely, and stood there blankly.

How everything came to this point, even Yinzhen couldn't tell.The words of breaking up spoken like a child's play hurt others and oneself.At this time Yinzhen regretted it very much, so what if he begged Yinhu to ignore Wanning, it was just a loss of face, but if Yinhu refused, wouldn't it be a disaster?

"I... didn't mean that." Yin Zhen absolutely didn't want the matter to develop to this point. He wanted to make it up, but he didn't know what to say.

Yinhu looked up and took a deep look at Yinzhen.The scrutiny in his eyes made Yinzhen feel scared.Those were not the eyes of a child, Yinzhen felt that Yinhu's eyes seemed to see through him, and after a long time, Yinhu said: "I understand what fourth brother means."

Yinzhen felt cramped, and it took him a while to say: "We are still the same as before." After speaking, he shook Yinhu's hand, it seemed that only in this way could he feel at ease for a moment.

But Yinhu avoided it calmly, still smiling, perfect to the extreme, "If fourth brother has nothing else to do, how about Yinhu sending fourth brother out?"

Yinzhen stood blankly for a while, staring at Yinhu intently, finally sighed and said, "Take care of yourself."

Yinhu was a little moved, and then there was some warmth in his eyes, and he nodded and said, "Thank you, fourth brother. I don't know if you still do what the fourth brother promised me?"

Yinzhen nodded, "Yes", and said again: "Don't forget that you promised me to come back alive."

When Yinzhen left Babeile Mansion, he looked back at Yinhu, and the pain in his heart never dissipated for a moment.The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, probably so.The original deep and long friendship was torn apart, leaving only a glance back and a treasure.

Anu still looks like he did on the battlefield, and has not become emaciated due to more than a year of detention.The scorching and shining light in his eyes reminded Yinhu of Wanning during the Yongzheng period.They are genuinely strong women who will not be knocked down by adversity, which is admirable from the bottom of my heart.

"I heard that the eighth elder brother took good care of Baljur. Everything here is also taken care of by the eighth elder brother. I have never been able to thank you. Now that I am here, I will thank you. We Mongolians have always had clear grievances. You I will always remember your kindness."

"Hadun [1] is the pearl on the prairie, and Yinhu has always admired it." Yinhu sat down with a smile, and there was a little Moxi accent in Mongolian, which made Anu feel a long-lost kindness.

"Eighth elder brother is busy with people and affairs, so you must have something important to do here. You might as well speak up if you have something to say, so as to save yourself from running around with useless words." Although Anu is under house arrest, he still looks like a master. See Rong Bao Standing behind Yinhu, he said: "I don't know which family this little brother is from? Sit down too, what are you doing standing up?"

Rong Bao nodded with a smile, bowed to salute, said "Xie Hadun", and sat down under Yinhu, but he didn't give his name.It was Yinhu who answered: "This is Rongbao, my haha ​​bead. He accompanied me to study since I was a child."

Anu nodded, and Yinhu went on to say: "In three days, Rongbao will go back to Junggar with Hadun and Sebu. My imperial father has given permission for Hadun and the prince to go home."

Anu was a little surprised at first, then his eyes turned cold, and he asked: "Does Emperor Kangxi want us orphans and widows to go back to be imprisoned by Araban? Locking us up here will ruin his reputation, and he wants to send us back to him." Junggar."

Yinhu smiled and shook his head, "No, I came here to discuss terms with Hatun. Hatun and the prince can then return to Junggar, and Sebu will inherit Boshuo Ketuhan."

Anu chuckled: "What do you want me to promise?"

"Promise what Prince Sebu has already promised, like Mobei Mongolia, submit to the Qing Dynasty, receive the canonization of the Qing Dynasty, and receive the tribute of Jiubai.【2】"

"Such a big matter, how can a child of him be able to decide." Anu frowned, looking displeased. "Even though Alabatan is not my own son, I once had a mother-son friendship, [3] selling my country for self-interest, I can't do such a thing of subjugation. Zhuer is still young, and doesn't understand these things, so you rely on Make friends with him and deceive him like this, what kind of friend are you?"

"Hadun misunderstood Sebu, and Yinhu also misunderstood. If Yinhu dared to propose such a condition, he would naturally be able to offer a corresponding price. Yinhu has no confidence in getting the prince of Boshuo Ketuhan in exchange. There is a large area of ​​land and people in Moxi. I am afraid that Ha Dun does not know that if the Qing Dynasty does not intervene at this time, Junggar will really be subjugated. Tuxietu Khan's army has already defeated Hami, and there are countless Erut warriors who died in Junggar. The envoys sent by the Qing Dynasty failed to mediate. For the current plan, if Junggar does not let go of his mouth and does not convert to the Qing Dynasty in order to save the country and survive, it will be the end of the country's destruction."

"If Junggar surrenders to the Qing Dynasty, the commercial roads will be open. The Qing Dynasty can form a caravan to the west via Junggar, and can set up a transit in Hami. The tariff will be collected halfway, which will be of great benefit. There was the Silk Road in ancient times. But now that the Silk Road has been covered with a piece of yellow sand after thousands of years of war, don’t Hadun want to restore the land of Junggar to the legendary prosperity that was full of gold in the past?”

……

"Ha Dun think about it carefully, there are many benefits and no harms in submitting to the Qing Dynasty." Yinhu talked nonstop for half an hour, Anu's expression changed from disdain to confusion, and finally hesitantly.Yinhu seized the opportunity and said, "We have already drawn up a coup plan, and we are going to ask Ha Dun for advice."

Anu nodded politely.Yinhu gave Rongbao a look, and Rongbao took out a well-drawn map from his arms, which marked the places where troops were stationed in various places in Moxi, as well as the pastures where several rich families used to graze.The number of people in the clan, who the leader is, and all kinds of details are readily available.Rongbao took the map and explained it to Anu, and would stop at critical moments to ask Yinhu to make some appropriate supplements.Most of the information was told by Galdan to Yinhu, and most of the whole plan was made by Yinhu and Galdan together.As Anu listened, his expression changed from doubt to conviction.Yinhu knew, and probably couldn't hide it from her.

Anu listened patiently, smiled meaningfully, and said, "I agree to you. Even he agreed, what position do I have to refuse?"

Rongbao was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Anu was talking about.

Anu then asked: "Is he still alive?"

Yinhu knows that this "he" refers to Galdan.However, the secret of Galdan's survival was not known to many people in the Qing Dynasty, so how could he tell Anu?Needless to say, he would lose Anu's trust again, which would be very detrimental to the future situation.Yinhu just said in secret: "I say what I can say, Ha Dun believes what he wants to believe, that's all."

Anu smiled, patted Yinhu's shoulder, and said, "I understand. Thank you."

The author has something to say: [1] Hadun means princess in Mongolian, and here it refers to Anu.It is mentioned in many literatures that Anu is directly called Anuhadun. I haven’t realized why there are long and short versions of the name. It’s so stupid. OTZ [2] Nine White Tribute refers to Kaer Ka paid a tribute to the Qing court every year with a white camel and eight white horses.

[3] Anu was originally the wife of Galdan's brother Seng Ge, who later died in a coup.Galdan returned from Tibet and married Anu after avenging his brother.This seems to be the custom.
