The digital army reunites

Things will never be as simple as he imagined.

The fifth elder brother and little Yanzi sat together, waiting for the news that Qianlong would change his mind and summon them, while sleeping groggyly all night.Unexpectedly, in the early morning of the second day, what was waiting was not Qianlong's will, but Xiao Jian, or Xiao and Jian.

Looking at a sword and a flute that were randomly thrown on the ground by the guards, the little Yanzi was so frightened that she froze on the spot and forgot to ask what happened to Xiaojian.And the fifth elder brother also knew in his heart that Xiao Jian was more ominous than good.The fluke they had originally held in their hearts was completely shattered by the strong smell of blood.

"Yong...Yongqi, what should we do?" Little Yanzi couldn't stop her lips trembling even now, she was certainly sad that something happened to her brother, but what she was more afraid of was that she would end up in the same way.

The Fifth Elder Brother was also silent this time, he didn't know what to say, but he couldn't help feeling a bit of remorse in his heart, regretting that he followed Xiao Jian to assassinate his Huang Ama in a moment of confusion, regretting taking Little Swallow out of the palace, regretting being in the palace... Huibinlou got acquainted with Xiaojian, and even... began to regret that he shot this 'beautiful deer' with an arrow.The fifth elder brother seemed to have lost all his vigor all of a sudden. He recalled everything since he met Little Yanzi, and it seemed that Little Yanzi was always making troubles, and he begged her for mercy.He has always felt that he loves little Yanzi, so much that he is willing to give up everything for her.However, when he was really faced with the choice of life and death, he hesitated.

“永琪！永琪！“

Little Swallow's yells brought Fifth Brother back to his senses, facing the little Swallow who was completely dependent on him, Fifth Brother let go of the entanglements in his heart.After all, the empress dowager and the emperor are no longer treating him as well as they used to. If there is no more little swallow, he really doesn't know how to live in the future.

No matter what the fifth elder brother and little Yanzi thought, Qianlong ignored them until they returned to Beijing.And in the extremely depressing atmosphere, the tempers of the two became more and more irritable. From the initial comfort to each other, they gradually turned into disgust at each other, and the feelings accumulated over the years gradually faded away.

Since Chen Zhihua didn't even have a capable ear and eyes, he just felt that something must have happened to Fifth Prince and Little Yanzi, but he couldn't find out the specifics.Fortunately, she was pregnant with the fifth elder brother's child in her belly, and was taken care of every day, so it wasn't too sad, but she hated Yinhu even more in her heart.

The wound on Qing'er's neck had already healed before returning to the palace, but she was still in a coma, showing no sign of waking up.Ziwei has been taking care of Qing'er very attentively. While looking at Qing'er, she is also reminding herself not to make the same mistake again.

Ever since she fainted from Qianlong's rage, the empress has been seriously ill, and with the depressed emotions accumulated in her heart for so many years, her illness has become even more serious.Fortunately, Qianlong was reprimanded by Yinzhen, and he also felt that he owed the queen a lot. Not only did he reward a lot of precious medicinal materials, he also said a few soft words to the queen for the first time, which made the queen almost want to see if the sun was right that day rising from the west.However, speaking of it, what pleased the queen the most was Qianlong's change in Yongzheng's attitude.Because she had been ill, the Queen had no idea what had happened.It's just that he suddenly found that the emperor no longer ignored Yongzheng as before, and the father and son began to have feelings.

Due to her improved mood, the queen's condition did not deteriorate any further, but her body was still injured, and she had to rest slowly if she wanted to recover.

Compared with the queen, Lingfei is a bit unlucky.Because of Yinzhen's words, although Qianlong didn't guess what "good things" Lingfei had done for a while, he also had some vague premonitions. Coupled with Yongqi's incident, Qianlong's affection for Lingfei was completely gone. Naturally, she would not be summoned.

However, Concubine Ling is not a quiet person. The first time she sent a court lady to give Qianlong the tonic that she "hands-on" stewed, Qianlong was blown out. She thought it was because Qianlong happened to be in a bad mood. .So, the second time, Concubine Ling dressed herself up and went over holding the stew pot. She never thought that she didn't even see the emperor's face, so she was stopped directly. When she wanted to distinguish one or two, she received a With a decree of 'demotion from concubine to concubine', the poor concubine Ling really fainted.

When Concubine Ling woke up, she thought carefully about the reason why the emperor suddenly rejected her, but after much deliberation, she couldn't make up her mind.After all, she really hasn't done anything bad recently.Could it be related to the fact that fifth elder brother and little Yanzi were grounded by the emperor?But the emperor didn't offend her immediately, and the concubine Ling also believed that there was nothing in the hands of the two of them.So what happened that she didn't know about?

106. Back to the Palace

In view of Hongli's sincere attitude of admitting his mistakes, Yinzhen didn't teach him any more.However, with Yinzhen here, Hongli's comfortable days in the past are coming to an end.

Since the departure of the southern tour, Yinzhen has been secretly dispatching people to investigate the situation of the officials passing through the state capital, and has already grasped a lot of clues.Therefore, Yinzhen asked Hongli to deal with these problematic officials.

Hongli knew that his Royal Ama was still angry with him, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and dealt with political affairs from dawn to dusk every day, hoping to make up for his mistakes.Even Gao Wuyong, who was waiting on the sidelines, couldn't help sighing, the fourth master is still amazing (Gao Gonggong felt that it was inappropriate to be called the first emperor again, and there were two emperors, so he changed his name to "fourth master"), look at Qianlong. Diligence is almost like returning to the time when he just took the throne 20 years ago.

The first official to be severely punished by Hongli was the prefect of Hangzhou.Ordinarily, the prefect's crimes were not the most serious, but who told him to dedicate Xia Yingying, a 'bad girl', to the emperor.Therefore, the unlucky Hangzhou magistrate became Hongli's punching bag, and was directly listed with more than ten crimes, confiscated all his family property, and his family was dispatched to the frontier to eat sand.

His Majesty the Emperor, who had been enjoying the trip, suddenly became angry with the local officials, which made the other officials confused for a while, but after inquiring, it was found that the prefect of Hangzhou had introduced Xia Yingying, the most famous singing girl in Hangzhou to the Emperor, and now This Xia Yingying had disappeared, so everyone just attributed the reason to this and didn't pay too much attention to it.

When these officials were slack, Hongli dealt with a group of people vigorously and vigorously. This time, everyone understood that the emperor really wanted to clear up the officialdom, but it was too late to cover up one thing or two.

After staying in Hangzhou for another three or five days, the team on the southern tour began to return to Beijing.I still took the same route as when I came here, but because there were more things to do on the way, the speed slowed down.

These days, Yongzheng has been arranged by Yinzhen to stay with Hongli, and occasionally beats him up, or listens to Yinzhen telling him about the "way of being a king".Later, when Yinzhen saw that Hongli was no longer as confused as before, he was happy to be at leisure, leaving Hongli and Yongzhen, the father and son, alone, and accompanied 'Fu Jin' and his precious daughter.

Under the oppression of many elders, Hongli could only find some comfort from Xiao Shier.Slowly, he realized that his son-in-law was actually quite good, smart and eager to learn, he could understand many things at once, and he could also help him share some work.Moreover, he is very filial to Huang Ama, such as saying something nice to himself in front of Yinzhen.Therefore, Hongli also gradually began to like Yongzheng. Thinking about his attitude towards this child in the past, he felt a little indebted in his heart, and it would be better for Yongzheng.

Regarding the issue of heirs, Yinzhen had a detailed discussion with Hongli.Hongli knew that his royal Ama and his uncles had never wanted to fight for the position in their lives, so he was surprised for a while, but thinking about it again, they probably let go of all their belongings because they lived a new life. Well, in fact, it's not bad to live a simple life.Hongli himself is about to reach the age of knowing his destiny. Although he is shouted long live every day, he also understands that life expectancy is the most unpredictable thing.Therefore, Hongli also deliberately wants to cultivate Yongzhen well now, and it would be a good thing if Yongzhen, the son of the eldest son, can inherit the throne.

Because there was no need to conceal their identities, Yinzhen and the others were finally freed from the grueling schoolwork.Coupled with the fact that Twelve was by Hongli's side all day long, Yongxing was the only prince who really needed to go to class.After all, it's not appropriate to specialize like this, so Qianlong ordered that the princes no longer need to go to class before returning to the palace, and only need to complete the homework assigned by "Master Ji" every day.Of course, poor Yong Xing was the only one doing this homework. (Yinzhi's real identity was not told to Hongli. After all, the third master had been an official in the Qianlong Dynasty for so long, and he was used to it. It would be troublesome if his identity was exposed.)

Yong Xing and Yong Xing are relatively close in age, and because they were raised by the Queen's side since they were young, they have a good relationship.Realizing that Yongzheng was suddenly valued by their Huang Ama, Yongzheng was still a little envious, but after thinking about it, Yongzheng is the empress's son, so he should be the most honorable prince. The silver and jade wares might be more attractive to him, so Yong Xing did not alienate Yong Xing because of this, and they still got along with each other as before, doing filial piety by the Queen's side together.

The more than one month of the southern tour was probably the most self-cultivating period in the years since Hongli became emperor.With Xia Yingying's lesson from before,
