Drunk Qingqiu

The situation in the side hall that day became a harbinger of how Yinzhen and Yinhu got along with each other in the past two years. The official position, or the rights of various ministries, are all fighting for each other.What's even more absurd is that at certain times, Yinzhen, who is as emotionally insensitive, can realize that she is a spoil of war between the two.

Yinzhen went from being in a dilemma and at a loss at the beginning to now hiding when she can.

What made him feel relieved was that Yinhu treated him as before, defending him everywhere, and no longer even cared whether Yinhu was on his side or not.Yinzhen's anger disappeared, perhaps it was because of those Buddhist scriptures and beads, or maybe it was because when the two confronted each other that day, Yinzhen's silence inexplicably pleased Yinzhen, and he returned to the original pampering after Yinzhen and mild.

Kangxi 53 years, March.

Yinzhen held the booklet from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to see Kangxi. Wei Zhu glanced at the room, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "Long live Lord is about to go out. Just now, please see King Chengjun. Long live Lord let me go back first. You want If there is something urgent, I will ask you about it." Yinzhen nodded, the book was designated by Kangxi to read urgently, and it should be sent to Kangxi today anyway.

After a while, Wei Zhu came over with a smile: "Jiuye, Lord Long Live announces you to go in." Yinzhen smiled, took a jade pendant from his purse and stuffed it into Wei Zhu's hand.Wei Zhu accepted it with a smile, and thanked in a low voice.

Kangxi was stretching out his hand to ask the maid to change clothes. Seeing Yinzhen saluting at the door, he said, "Get up, it's been sorted out so quickly? Show me."

Yinzhen took the booklet and handed it over. Kangxi casually flipped through it for a while, then nodded slightly, "Well, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been taken care of by you in the past two years. I look at the booklet on your side, compared to the one from the Ministry of Household Affairs. I have a lot of comfort in my heart. In the past few years, the Qinghai taiji and others have been at odds with Lhazang Khan, and the Junggar tribe has repeatedly invaded Qinghai. It seems that Wangarabutan is about to move around again, and I am worried that there will be wars in the near future. Plus In all the disasters in various places, there is no place where there is a shortage of money. Hey, in the past two years, you have really relieved me, and the money in the national treasury is almost not as good as my inner treasury."

"It's all Huang Ama's wisdom. If it wasn't for you to let me decide the big things, I wouldn't dare to let go." Yinzhen said with her head down, and took a small box from her arms, holding it with both hands, respectfully handed over.

Kangxi picked it up, opened it to have a look, and then looked into Yinzhen's eyes with deep thought and sigh, and said with a smile: "I let you go into business at the beginning, after all, it seems that you have become more prosperous recently. People in the capital call you It's the God of Wealth, it really isn't an exaggeration."

Inside is the 'tax silver' that Yinzhen has paid in the past two months, which is much more than before, because Yinzhen thought that his money is enough to spend, so he changed from one quarter of the previous payment to one third. one.Coupled with the fact that these two months are the peak season, nearly 20 taels were handed over this time.

"Huang Ama bless you. If it weren't for this peaceful and prosperous age, no matter how powerful Yinzhen is, how can the business continue." Kangxi has recently grown older, and his name has become more and more similar. Yinzhen picked up a few nice but not exaggerated words .

Kangxi laughed loudly, "Okay, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have learned the tricks of others." Even though he said so, Kangxi still benefited from it in his heart.

Kangxi looked at Yinzhen, with a tall body and handsome features. After all these years, he seemed to be in his twenties, as if time had slowed down on him.Thinking of myself again, my ambition is still the same, but I still cannot avoid the worries of old age, and I feel a little sad in my heart.

After a long time, Kangxi withdrew his gaze, straightened his unruly clothes, and said, "Let's go, you just happened to come, follow me to see the royal rice I planted myself."

Kangxi brought Yinzhen to Fengze Garden in high spirits. It was sunny and warm in early spring.The willow tree has sprouted new buds, amidst the singing of warblers and swallows, a tree of white plum blossoms is blown by the wind to start pointing to petals.

Fengze Garden is much larger than other gardens. Half of it is reclaimed to make fields, and the other half is for fruit trees and flowers. There is also a pond on the west side of the garden, where lotus roots are planted. In summer, the pond is full of lotus flowers. The scenery is beautiful. There are also lotus roots to eat.There are several silkworm houses on both sides of the garden, and behind the garden are dozens of mulberry trees that have just begun to shoot new buds.

This is Kangxi's "experimental field". Kangxi had people divert water canals and move seedlings.So he took off his boots at the edge of the field, rolled up his trousers, and went to the field to plant rice seedlings himself.

Yinzhen stared blankly at Kangxi. The 61-year-old Kangxi had gray hair and a straight body. He lowered his head and carefully bent over to plant rice seedlings. He was proficient and natural in farming.Yinzhen suddenly felt that Kangxi in front of him overlapped with the old man Hu whom he had seen a few years ago.For the sake of the people's livelihood, Kangxi would personally do these farming tasks in spite of his busy schedule.Yinzhen's eyes were slightly moist, and posterity's comments on Kangxi's eternal emperor are indeed well-deserved.

Wei Zhu pulled Yinzhen from behind, and seeing Yinzhen looking at him, he quickly pointed to Kangxi in the paddy field.

Yinzhen was awake, no longer in a daze, and took off his shoes, Xia Tian said: "Huang Ama should go to the shore, the water is cold, you can just instruct your son to do this."

Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen, smiled and said conceitedly, "Little Jiu, you may not be as good as I am. You know, every seedling in this seedling is personally selected by Huang Ama. Last year, the whole Yu From seed selection to cultivation, transplanting, and harvesting of rice, I did not rely on others. You brothers have never had to worry about food and clothing since childhood, and there are more people who don’t know the price of rice. Some don’t even know the price of rice, let alone Talk about sowing. Of course, you and the fourth child are better than others. However, I am really worried about letting you do this farming work alone." He said, but he didn't rush Yinzhen to go ashore.

Yinzhen used to equalize the price of rice in Jiangnan, and he also has a rice store in his business, so the price of rice is very clear.In the south of the Yangtze River, I saw Yinzhen and Hu Laohan doing these farming tasks, and I had a picture in my heart, so I asked with a smile while helping plant the seedlings, "How did Huang Ama choose the seeds?"

"In these years, there have been either floods or droughts. I am worried about the lack of food in the country and the livelihood of the people, whether they will not be able to wear warm clothes and eat enough. A few years ago, I found a jade field and tried to grow it in Fengze Garden. In the first two years, there was no improvement, and it was not even as good as the rice outside. In the third year, when I came back to see it, I had a harvest. The rice was originally ripe in September, but that year I found that some tall and strong rice was ripening in June. When they are ripe and the seeds are full, they are stored and used as seeds. The next year, these seeds are used exclusively, and they mature again in June.” Kangxi said, with satisfied joy on his face.

"Now the seedlings in your hand are the royal rice that I personally selected and cultivated. The beige grains are long, slightly reddish, and the smell is full. The key is the short growth period. In the south, it can be harvested twice a year. Double crops, you Think about it, if tens of thousands of hectares of fertile fields in the south use this kind of rice, how can the granary of my Qing Dynasty be full, and why should the people worry about bad harvests." After speaking smugly, Kangxi frowned and said, "Last year, I have already sent it to Li Xu in the south of the Yangtze River, let him try it out, and sent a special person to guide it, and it was finally successful. This year, I sent a decree to the southern governments to distribute the imperial rice seeds to the people, and they will not receive any money. However, in some places The people are not willing to change the seeds, so I can only let the government force the rice to change. Now, I only hope that the imperial rice will have a good harvest this year, and the hearts of the people will be at ease."

Yinzhen stopped his hands, raised his head and said, "Don't worry, Huang Ama, the people will inevitably stick to the rules, but after the trial planting, they will definitely understand your good intentions. This imperial rice will definitely be popularized successfully."

"Well said." Kangxi laughed.

Yinzhen saw that Kangxi's right hand was not easy to use, so he often used his left hand, so he rushed to do more by himself. It took half a day to finish the work on the nearly one-acre rice field.

Yinzhen helped Kangxi up, and Wei Zhu had been waiting by the side with hot water.Kangxi sat on the chair, he was really old, although he looked energetic, his forehead was already covered with sweat, and the big palace lady standing beside him hurriedly came up to wipe Kangxi's sweat.Yinzhen turned around and took the copper basin from Wei Zhu's hand, Wei Zhu was startled, Yinzhen waved his hand, took it and squatted in front of Kangxi, gently lifted a muddy foot, put it into the hot water, Massage gently with hands.

Kangxi was used to being served by everyone, so he didn't even notice who was washing his feet. He was looking at the green seedlings in the paddy field with relief.But I also feel that today's foot massage is strong and moderate. After a slight pain in the foot, it is extremely comfortable, and the fatigue just now has been relieved.

"Yinzhen, not only do I hope that the common people will have enough food and clothing, but I also have another layer of concerns. The government doesn't have much surplus food, and if there is a famine, they will open warehouses to release food. If there is another war, I am afraid that the supply will be exhausted." Insufficient. Therefore, on the one hand, I am grasping the Ministry of Household Affairs and your Ministry of Internal Affairs, and on the other hand, I am eager for the success of the twice-cropped imperial rice this year."

Yinzhen replied softly: "Don't worry, Huang Ama, you have successfully planted several times, and the Li family in the south of the Yangtze River has also succeeded in planting, so it can be seen that this imperial rice is suitable for the south. With me, I will do my best not to let Huang Ama worry about it."

"Well, you two really—" Kangxi seemed to have sensed it, and suddenly turned around, seeing that the person squatting on the ground washing his feet was actually Yinzhen, his eyes were deep and deep, and he moved his mouth, but didn't say anything.After a long while, he stretched out his hand and patted Yinzhen's shoulder, and said, "It's fine to let other people do these things. Where have you ever done this? However, Xiao Jiu's massage techniques can be used on feet, which is really much more comfortable than other people's washing .”

"Huang Ama is as long as she feels comfortable. The key is the strength, which must be mastered well. After the massage, it can also relieve fatigue." Yinzhen said, and put Kangxi's other foot into the hot water.

Wei Zhu had already seen Khan by the side, and these servants were all standing by, but Yinzhen, who was the eldest brother, knelt on the ground on one knee.However, he watched Yinzhen's massage movements carefully. Last time, he learned Yinzhen's shoulder and back massage technique given to the Imperial Hospital. Every time Kangxi was tired after reviewing the memorials, he would massage the last time. Kangxi was always very useful.

After changing the water again, Yinzhen massaged and rinsed again, before taking a soft handkerchief to clean Kangxi's feet and put on his shoes.He hurriedly took care of himself.

Kangxi stood up, stretched out his hand for Yinzhen to support, and went back to Qianqing Palace.Thinking of today's Yudao, Kangxi was so excited that he spread out the paper and wrote: "Half an hectare of Zimang is green and shaded, and I love Yudaoshen first."

After approving paperwork in the morning and working half a day in Fengze Garden in the afternoon, Yinzhen saw Kangxi's tired face, said a few more words with him, and got up to leave.

Kangxi looked at Yinzhen's walking figure, and said slowly: "Of all my sons, Yinzhen is the most pure and filial one."

……

In November, Kangxi toured outside the Great Wall, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, the seventh elder brother Yinyou, the ninth elder brother Yinyu, the tenth elder brother Yinyu, the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen, the fifteenth elder brother Yinyu, and the sixteenth elder brother Yinyu Lu, the seventeenth elder brother Yin Li follows the retinue.

The third elder brother Yinzhi, the fifth elder brother Yinqi, and the eighth elder brother Yinhu jointly supervised the administration of the country.

Yinhu has been accompanying him for the past two years, and this time Kangxi traveled late, just in time for the second anniversary of Liangfei Wei's death, so he stayed in Beijing.Before Yinyu left, he went to Yinhu Zhuangzi to get together with the tenth Yinyou and the fourteenth Yinzhen.A few years ago, Yuhua would come out to have a few polite words with these people, but now she has disappeared.Yinhu never said anything, and the younger brothers naturally ignored these trivial matters.

Yinhu asked Yinyu, Yinzhen, and looked at Yinzhen again, Yinyu said: "Myna, take care too, don't be too sad. If there is anything wrong, I will write back."

Yinhu looked at him with a smile, and held Yinhu's hand, "Well, after a few days, I will wait in the middle of Huang Ama's tour, and I will go back to Beijing together with my escort."

Yinzhen stayed on the horse for three days, and then slept in the carriage again in the dark, while Yinzhen and Yinzhen were still riding happily in the cold wind outside.

On the sixth day of the trip, we finally arrived at Rehe.Yinzhen went to the palace to greet Kangxi and Concubine Yi, and was going to rest on the Zhuangzi here.

Yin Ni grabbed him, "Ninth Brother, Huang Ama will give you a banquet tonight. Besides, I heard that Myna sent someone to bring good things to Huang Ama. There is nothing wrong with your village, so at least take a look before going back. "

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen asked in confusion, "Myna gave something? What kind of festival is it now?"

Yinyu looked at Yintang helplessly, "Ninth brother, you are very shrewd on weekdays, and you are always confused about small things. Although it is not a festival now, Huang Ama will always hunt here when you come here. Mynah can't accompany you, so I specially searched for it." Two well-domesticated Haidongqing come here." Speaking of this, his face showed fascination, "Haitongqing is the god of eagles, I heard that there can only be one condor in a hundred thousand. The most spiritual, powerful Meng Wushuang, the ordinary swans and foxes are not their opponents. I wanted to get one a long time ago, but unfortunately it is hard to find a good one recently. Today I must see how handsome the two mynahs gave me."

Yinzhen's walking steps suddenly stopped, and she lost her voice: "Old Ten, you mean Haidongqing?!"

Seeing Yinzhen's astonishment, Yinyu felt complacent, "That's right, Brother Nine is also reluctant to leave."

Although Yinzhen didn't know when the eagle-killing incident happened in history, it probably happened this time.Regardless of being tired, he stretched out his hand and pulled Yinyu to a secluded place, and asked, "Old Ten, the starling sent Hai Dongqing over, does anyone else know?"

Yinyu looked at Yintang suspiciously, and said, "No one knows, this is what the myna sent to tell me."

"Quickly, the person who took me to see mynah, ask where Hai Dongqing is stored." In such a cold day, Yinzhen was sweating all over.

While being dragged away by Yinzhen's arms, Yinyu looked at him with wide eyes.

At this time, a person happened to come over in front of them. When they met the two, they greeted them with a smile, "Hey, this is not Jiuye and Shiye. They are in such a hurry to go to a banquet?"

Because this person blocked the way, Yinzhen raised his head impatiently and wanted to reprimand him, but he saw that the person who came was wearing an official robe of stone green, with beautiful eyes, it was Xibao, the son of Prince Chengjun.Xibao has been in the clan's mansion for a long time, and Kangxi valued him very much. He is already a high-ranking and powerful person at a young age.

When Yinzhen greeted Xibao, Yinzhen's eyes kept staring at the big cage covered with cloth in Xibao's hand.Even ignoring the weird eyes of both of them, he stretched out his hand to remove the cloth and took a look.Xi Bao raised his eyebrows, watching Yinzhen's actions with a half-smile.

Yinzhen then grabbed the cage, raised her head with a smile, "Xibao, are you giving this to Huang Ama? I want it, so go prepare another one."

He hurriedly swept over his body again, and withdrew his finger from his hand: "From now on, you can take this to my shop, and you can choose whatever you want, or you can just tell me what price you want. Really, isn't it? Hold you, I really need it urgently." As he spoke, he pulled the cage into his hands, turned around and was about to leave.

This behavior of Yintang was similar to arrogance, and Yinyu couldn't stand it any longer, and coughed uncomfortably.Xi Bao frowned again and again, but didn't say anything.

With so much effort, Yinzhen had already walked a long way, Yinyu nodded to Xibao awkwardly, hurried two steps, and grabbed Yinzhen: "Ninth Brother, no matter how much you like, you can't give it to Myna. Dongqing was changed, but it was the starling who had been looking for it for a long time before finding it for Huang Ama."

Yinzhen didn't care about explaining, and said perfunctorily: "I'll talk about this later, if it's too late, it will be too late." Pushing Yinti away, she hastily turned into the yard where the gifts were placed.

There were two eunuchs guarding the door, and when they saw Yinzhen striding over, they rushed up to greet him.Yinzhen casually took out two sets of small gold nudes, stuffed them into their hands, and said in a low voice, "I'll come out after I go in to have a look, and don't say anything about this."

The eunuch didn't dare to say anything else, took the things, lowered his head, and stood on both sides.

Yintang didn't care about Yinqu behind him, and went straight into the hall.

In the room, there were mostly gifts for Kangxi from various places, including those from princes and officials, as well as Mongolian relatives and dignitaries.Yinzhen looked around, and sure enough, he saw a huge cage on the east table, which was bigger than the one in his hand.

Yinzhen frowned, looked outside, and saw that the sky had already darkened, the dinner party was about to begin, and this gift would also be delivered at that time.He walked to the cage, took a deep breath, and picked up the curtain to look.

There are two huge birds inside, both lying under the cage, one black and one white, I don't know if they are dead.But it's no wonder that Kangxi is not angry when he sees this lack of energy.Yinzhen looked left and right, and quickly changed the cage in his hand with the one on the table.

Yinzhen carried the obviously bigger cage, and walked out of the palace door without changing his expression.Just as she was about to go out, Yinzhen stopped again, stretched out her hand and took out two pearls from her bosom, they were round and clear, both the size of the belly of a thumb, considered top-quality pearls.He stuffed the hands of the two trembling eunuchs by the door, asked a few more questions, and then left.

Yinyu was waiting outside, seeing the cage in Yintang's hand, his expression changed immediately, he was holding Yintang's clothes and wanted him to change them back, when there was a sound of ceremony and music, eunuchs had already come to get presents.

If the delay continues, Yinzhen will have to bear the crime of deceiving the emperor, Yinzhen stomps her feet fiercely, and drags Yinzhen to the outside of the palace.

Yinyu arrived at the gate of the palace angrily, and Yintang who was following behind breathed a sigh of relief, and patted Yinyu's shoulder: "Old Ten, you go back and see if myna's 'courtesy' will be liked by Huang Ama, I'm very tired today, so I'll go back to Zhuangzi first."

"..."

Yinyu stared straight at the back, but she was worried about the gift that Yintang had exchanged once, so she turned and went to the palace.

……

Yinzhen rushed back to Zhuangzi before holding the lamp, because Hongjia had a lot of schoolwork recently, Jiahui and Hongjia did not come with him this time.Seeing that Yinzhen came back at this time, He Yuzhu hurriedly ordered to prepare meals.

Yinzhen didn't care about that, and went to the study first, no one was left in the room, only Gao Wu was guarding the door.

Putting the cage in his hand on the table and removing the cloth on it, Yinzhen looked at Hai Dongqing who was not moving in the cage, feeling chills in his heart.Yinhu would not touch Kangxi's brow at this time, and the Haidongqing he sent must not be like this.

Yinzhen gently opened the cage door, and lifted the white eagle, which was nearly half a meter long, out.Just now, when he touched the huge fluffy bird, his hand suddenly hurt, and Yinzhen hurriedly withdrew his hand, blood was already seen on the back of his hand.Looking closely, it was Hai Dongqing, who was standing next to him in black, barely supporting his head and staring at him viciously.

Hai Dongqing was well-trained, this hurts people like this, obviously he was hurt not long ago.Yinzhen looked at the blood on his hand and was speechless for a while.

In the end, he still wrapped his hands in a cloth, forcibly lifted one out, and held down Hai Dongqing to examine it carefully.In the end, it was found that Hai Dongqing's neck and thighs were wrapped with steel wires, and some of them were even embedded in the flesh, unable to move and restrained breathing. Hai Dongqing's eyes turned white.Yinzhen frowned, called Gao Wu into the house to help, slowly untied the steel wire, and found the wound medicine to wrap the two Haidongqings.

If it was half an hour later, Hai Dongqing would suffocate to death even if he did not bleed.During the period, the two Haidongqings pecked Yinzhen several times, seeing that Yinzhen didn't care about it and removed the steel wires that bound him, so they honestly let Yinzhen toss.

Gao Wu's face was also very gloomy, wondering if he understood something.Seeing Yinzhen throwing Hai Dongqing back into the cage again, she remained in a daze.He hurriedly applied the wound medicine on his general's hand, and said, "Master Jiu, you hardly eat much all day, no matter what happens, your health is still important."

Yinzhen nodded, and He Yuzhu had already brought over four dishes and one soup.

In fact, Yinhu felt a little lucky. Although he didn't know whether it was good or bad, this was the first time that he used the history he knew to change the fate of some Yinhu.Yinhu might not be able to get that position, but without these things, such an outstanding person would not be so depressed in the last years of Kangxi.

However, looking at Hai Dongqing who was quietly staying in the cage in a blink of an eye, Yinzhen frowned again.Before returning, he bribed two young eunuchs and questioned the people who had entered the palace before.The answer is shocking, the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, and the last one is Kangxi.

So, who is the person who wants to kill Hai Dongqing?
