Eighth Master cuts leeks in Qing Chuanwen

General, suddenly realized, nodded slowly.

Yinzhen coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and said, "It seems that I won't go into the dining room next time."

Yun Hu nodded in agreement, and said, "What the fourth brother said is exactly."

Yinzhen:"……"

Regardless of whether it was due to a mission or not, Yinzhen made this pot of porridge seriously, and the materials used can be described as "exquisite", and he also thought of removing the fishy smell, which is also considerate.

So at this time, fourth master was somewhat shocked, stuck in place, and stopped talking.

Yunyu said: "I don't mean to blame the fourth brother, but it's really too dangerous. This fire is not a trivial matter. The fish that the fourth brother raises outside are almost roasted to the belly."

Yinzhen:"……"

Ding!

Yinzhen is receiving Yunxi's education, but he didn't know that the system sent a notification sound, so he opened it to have a look.

【mission completed! 】

Yunxuan's favorability for herself has successfully increased by 1 point, and it is now 60%.

Yinzhen squinted his eyes, wondering in his heart, although he made the porridge himself, but it was a mess, it was all burnt, and the eighth brother is also a strange person, I thought he would be angry, after all, he almost burned his peach blossoms Wu Wu, who knew that Yunxuan's favorability towards him increased by 1 point instead.

Sure enough, the eighth brother became more and more obscure.

However, the task was completed without any risk, and the small plug-in with double favorability was successfully obtained. In the future, gaining favorability will get twice the result with half the effort, half the effort.

Yunhu recuperated for a few days, this time the attack was not very serious, and she got better a little bit, but this kind of thing is not something that can be cured as soon as it is good, and it may happen when it will happen.

The project of the Yongding River project has been completed, the uncle Yinyi came to report to Kangxi, and Kangxi was very happy to accept the river project.

Kangxi said: "From now on, I hope that the Yongding River will live up to its name, so that the people will not have to suffer."

The uncle replied: "Huang Ama loves the people like a son, and is sympathetic to the people's feelings. It is really a blessing for the country and the country."

Kangxi said: "There is one more thing. If the Yongding River project is completed, it would be more practical if we distribute it now."

The crowd waited for Kangxi's fate, and then they heard Kangxi say: "Even if this is the time, it's time to sacrifice to the Yellow River."

Sacrificing to the Yellow River has existed since ancient times, and different dynasties have different ways of offering sacrifices, but the same thing is that no matter which dynasty, offering sacrifices to the Yellow River is a major event that must not be neglected, especially in the Qing Dynasty.

Floods occurred frequently in the Qing Dynasty, and Kangxi paid special attention to the worship of the Yellow River.

During the reign of Kangxi, officials were sent to sacrifice every year, and they were designated to sacrifice in Siyue, Five Towns, Sihai and Sidu.These four mountains are very simple, and most people have heard of them. They are Dongyue Taishan, Nanyue Hengshan, Zhongyue Songshan, Xiyue Huashan and Beiyue Hengshan.

The five towns are: East Town Yishan, South Town Kuaiji Mountain, Zhongzhen Huoshan, West Town Wushan and North Town Yiwulu Mountain.

The four seas are the East China Sea, South China Sea, West Sea, and North Sea.The four are Jiangdu, Huaidu, Jidu and Hedu.

Every year, Kangxi will send special officials to sacrifice, and designate large-scale sacrifices in Beiyue, Zhongzhen, Xihai, and Hedu, and the rest of the places will be sacrificed locally.

Kangxi said: "Floods are frequent this year, and I planned to go to sacrifice in person, but I have such old problems as leg problems."

When he said this, the princes immediately cupped their hands and said, "Please take care of the dragon's body, Huang Ama!"

Kangxi nodded and said, "Now that I'm old, I really feel powerless, so I thought, among the many princes, choose one or two, and go to Kuaiji Mountain in Nanzhen to sacrifice on my behalf."

What kind of honor is it to offer sacrifices on behalf of the emperor?Immediately, the princes were all ready to move, wanting to compete for this spot.

Uncle Yinyi immediately stood up and said, "Huang Ama, my son is willing to share Huang Ama's worries!"

The uncle said again: "The terrain in Nanzhen is rugged and the road is inconvenient. If I leave it to other younger brothers, my son will be worried. In addition, my son has been to Kuaiji Mountain for business before. If Huang Ama doesn't give this opportunity to his son, he will be relieved." two."

The prince quit immediately, he is the prince, the prince is still there, the uncle wants to travel instead of the emperor?How amazing is this?If the uncle succeeds, will the uncle's party not walk sideways in the court in the future?

The prince cupped his hands and said: "Huang Ama, elder brother has just presided over the river work of the Yongding River. He has worked so hard. How can he be appointed to work now? It should be given a few days to rest and bathe. It is better to appoint a son to go to Nanzhen to sacrifice. My son will definitely do his best to not embarrass Huang Ama."

The other princes are not to be outdone. If they can take over this business trip, they can say in the court in which year and month, which elder brother participated in the Yellow River sacrifice on behalf of the emperor. Don't mention it, it will save face and increase Prestige.

Yunyu watched the princes struggling their heads, and even Xiao Shishi, who was in his early teens, came forward to ask for a job.

Yunxu raised her eyebrows, so she didn't want to take this muddy water. After all, it was Nanzhen, and Nanzhen was far away from the capital. In this day and age, I didn't watch planes and trains. One can imagine.

Yunyu didn't speak, and among the princes of Qianqing Palace, there was one person who didn't speak, and that was the fourth master Yinzhen.

To be honest, Fourth Master is really a very pretending and tolerant person. He was a princeling in his early years. He didn't fight or grab, and he didn't show off his mountains or show his water. Among the princes, he was not the most beautiful, nor was he the most beautiful. The most knowledgeable one, not to mention the most eloquent one, looks "average".

But who knew, it was such a fourth master who had gathered power for a long time and could not be limited.

Seeing the brothers scrambling for each other, the fourth master Yinzhen remained silent. He has been there and knows Kangxi's temperament. Kangxi dislikes fighting among brothers the most. The more peaceful he is, the more he values ​​it.

So Yinzhen didn't say a word, and stood respectfully in the hall.

Kangxi watched the crowd scrambling to show up, glanced at the main hall of Qianqing Palace, and said, "Fourth and eighth, what about the two of you? Don't you want to replace me and go to Nanzhen to worship the river god?"

Yunxu and Yinzhen were named, and Yinzhen stood up respectfully, cupped his hands and said, "If you return to Huang Ama, it will be an honor to be able to sacrifice for Huang Ama. Naturally, my ministers also want to go to sacrifice. It's just that many brothers I want to sacrifice, but the number of sacrifices is limited, so my son feels that he can give up to the brothers and don't have to fight for these."

When Yinzhen said this, he just touched Kangxi's heart. He laughed loudly and said, "Okay! Well said! Take a look, look at the fourth one. You are fighting for each other. They are not like brothers." ? I don’t know, I thought you were enemies!”

Yunyu smiled, isn't it true that the brothers of the Tian family, there are no real brothers, aren't they all enemies?Only when you overthrow the opponent, you will have one less stumbling block and one more stepping stone.

Kangxi said again: "Old Ba, what about you?"

Yunyu bowed respectfully and said, "Go back to Emperor Ama, my son doesn't want to go."

"Oh?" Kangxi became interested and said, "Why don't you want to go? Don't you think it's a great honor to sacrifice for me?"

Yunyu replied cleverly, saying: "Huang Amagui is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, who can be replaced? It's just a false name. If you want to sacrifice sincerely, it's not a sacrifice anywhere. There is no need to compete for this place. That's all."

When he said this, fourth master Yinzhen understood clearly, if he could translate the eighth younger brother's words, it would be clear - the road is too far to be bothered to go.

But what he said was so nice, and he looked like he had no desires or desires. Kangxi liked to see him, and said: "Okay, okay! Laoba usually doesn't fight or grab, and he really has a calm temperament."

"Of course!" Kangxi said, "You don't want to go, but I want you to go!"

Yunyu: "..." So many want to go?

Yunxu didn't want to go, there was another reason, he was afraid that his old illness would relapse, and now it was just a little bit, and he had to go to Kuaiji Mountain, from north to south, wouldn't it be very tiring?

Kangxi said again: "Fourth brother, you also go together."

Looking at Kangxi's attitude, Yinzhen knew that he would let him go, but he didn't expect that he would let Yunxi go with him.

After thinking about it, I understand.Everyone thought that there was only one quota for this generation of emperors. After all, it was to replace the emperor. Who knew that Kangxi went the other way and did not set up a separate one. Partisan gimmick.

Yinzhen looked unfazed by favor or humiliation, and said in a salute: "Your servant receives the decree."

On the other hand, Yunxu was reluctant, it was rare to rest at home, and in the end he had to go on a business trip again, but his face was still gentle and calm, and he also bowed: "Your minister leads the order."

Kangxi said: "The two of you go to sacrifice and promise to do things cheaply."

"Thank you, Emma."

The plans of the uncle and the prince were all in vain, but both of them have a high degree of affection for Yunxu now, so Yunxu went to sacrifice, and neither the uncle nor the prince had any objections. Sacrifice, this can be regarded as "the fat water does not flow into the field of outsiders", there is nothing too regrettable.

On their way to worship the Yellow River, the destination of Yinzhen and Yunxi was Kuaiji Mountain in Nanzhen. The journey was far away, and they had to rest and settle in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas in the middle. Things were certain, and officials would soon take care of the lodging along the way.

After all, he is the acting son of heaven, full of style, so he must not be neglected.

After two more days of raising Yunxi, she was ready to go on the road with Yinzhen.

Today is the day when Yunxuan and Yinzhen set off to Kuaiji Mountain to offer sacrifices, Prince Yinreng specially came to the gate of the city to see them off.

The prince rode over, but he didn't know that the road to Yuanjia was narrow, and he saw the uncle at a glance.

Uncle Yinyi also came, and he came earlier than him, and he was talking to Yunxuan, smiling hypocritically and kindly.

The prince walked over, interrupted their conversation, and said: "Eighth brother, it's a long way to go to Kuaiji Mountain, but you must pay attention to your body, so as not to cause old diseases again."

The uncle laughed and said, "If there are no other people making trouble, naturally the old disease will not be caused."

"Who are you calling making trouble?"

"The prince clearly knows that the eighth brother has an old disease, but he insists on feeding the eighth brother some hot mutton. Isn't it making trouble?"

"I'm kind too! Is it possible that this palace wants to harm the eighth brother?"

"Good intentions? If you do something wrong with good intentions, it's not a wrong thing, and then our Qing prison will be cleaned up."

"What did you say?"

"Why, the prince thinks what I said is unreasonable?"

Yunhu: "..." There was another quarrel.

Yunxu rubbed her forehead and said, "Prince, elder brother, it's getting late, and I should be on my way. Just send the two of you here."

After finishing speaking, he quickly got on his horse, not daring to delay for a moment, and said: "Let's go!"

"Departure—"

The herald sent down the order, and the large army of sacrifices set off, and they drove out of the city gate, heading for Kuaiji Mountain, and the first stop was Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Yunyu went out of the city gate, and he couldn't hear the quarrel between the uncle and the prince, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Yinzhen rode over side by side, and said indifferently: "I'm going to Kuaiji Mountain to sacrifice, at least three months, after I come back, my lord The alliance card will be invalid, does the eighth brother think it is a pity?"

Yunxi: "..."

If it was before, Yunhu felt that it might be a pity, but now...

I just feel lucky.

Yunxu said: "Fourth brother, don't tease me."

Yinzhen said again: "Already out of the city gate, there is a soft drive behind. If you are not feeling well, you can go to the soft drive to rest."

Yunxu looked back and saw that there was indeed a soft car. Yunxu thought it was a baggage vehicle, but it didn't look like it, because the baggage vehicle was used to transport goods, and it was not so particular. Unexpectedly, it was prepared by Yinzhen The soft drive, and it is specially prepared for Yunhu.

Yunxu smiled and said, "Fourth brother, did you prepare this specially for me?"

Yinzhen said indifferently: "I can't talk about a special trip, just by the way."

Yunyu nodded knowledgeably, and said, "It seems that it is indeed specially prepared for my younger brother."

Fourth Master's indifferent face froze, and he said, "Why doesn't Eighth Brother listen to others?"

Yunxu said: "It is precisely because my younger brother listened, there is a saying called... Seeing the essence through the phenomenon."

Yinzhen said "coldly": "Presumably the eighth brother also knows in his heart that it is all a matter of favorability, not from my own heart."

Yunxu wasn't annoyed at all, instead she smiled and said, "What does it matter if you don't come out of your own heart? Thank you fourth brother for your soft guidance."

As he spoke, he turned the horse's head and boarded the soft drive directly, and went in to rest.

Yinzhen looked at the back of Yunxi walking on the floppy car, shook his head, and couldn't understand this brother more and more...

After getting on the soft drive, Yunxu felt a lot more relaxed. After all, if Yunxu had to ride a horse all the way, Yunxu would not be able to bear it, let alone when he was "recovering from a serious illness".

The soft car was covered with blankets and cushions, soft and comfortable, Yunxi lay down, stretched, and there was a headrest next to it, pulled the headrest over, did not lie on it, hugged the headrest in her arms, and was ready to sleep A sense of return.

When Yinzhen came to the car, he found that Yunyu was asleep, and instead of a pillow, he hugged her in his arms and curled up into a ball. It was clear that the thin quilt and blanket were next to him, and he didn't cover him.

Yinzhen sighed helplessly, and said, "How can such a big man still look like a child?"

As he said, he picked up the thin quilt and covered Yunxi neatly on his body.

Just after the cover was finished, fourth master Yinzhen's hands stiffened suddenly, what did he do?Being influenced by favorability again?Unconsciously, she began to care about this old enemy, whether he was cold or not, and covered him with a quilt?

Yinzhen shook his head, thinking that he couldn't do this, so he stretched out his hand and lifted the quilt covering Yunxi's body.

Who knew that Zi Yunxu just woke up at this moment, and said in a confused way: "Fourth brother, why are you lifting my quilt?"

Yinzhen: "..." Should I explain that I didn't lift the quilt for you, but covered you with the quilt. If the old man asked me why you covered me with the quilt, how should I answer?

Xu Zhen struggled for a while, and the small expression on the top of his head turned into two Q version of the two-headed little fourth master. Heaven and man fought, and they confronted each other in a murmur.

Yunxu raised her eyebrows, seeing Yinzhen's entanglement, she didn't ask any further questions.

The procession of the sacrificial procession was not slow, and they soon reached the Jiangnan area. From Jiangnan to the south, there was Kuaiji Mountain in Nanzhen.

Because the traffic conditions in the Qing Dynasty were not very convenient, the road to the south would be rough and difficult, and the supplies of the team would not be able to keep up. Therefore, it is necessary to add supplies in the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River. After the supplies are sufficient, go to Nanzhen again to offer sacrifices .

Yunxu was resting in the carriage, a young eunuch came over, followed the carriage, and said respectfully: "Baye, we will reach Tongshan in front, I wonder if Baye has a favorite place to stay."

Tongshan is a small place, not a government office or a county at that time, so the local official residence is too small to accommodate the sacrificial procession, so they can only stay in other people's places, which need to be found separately.

Yunyu didn't have any special requirements, and said, "Does Fourth Master have any orders?"

The little eunuch said: "The fourth brother said that there is a rich businessman named Li Zongjing in Tongshan. If Ba Ye thinks it's not right, he can change to another place to stay."

Li Zongjing?

Yunyu hadn't heard of it, but he had no objection either, and said, "Just listen to Fourth Master's orders."

"Yes, Eighth Master."

The little eunuch soon went to answer, so the team went to the rich family of Li's house in Tongshan.

The Li family has a very large family, and you can see the lintel of the Li family from a distance. This is a family in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the lintel is not as domineering and grand as the capital, it has a special charm, exquisite and unique, revealing the grace of a water town.

The family is tall, and the huge wooden door is as thick as a grown man, and even the door latch requires three grown men to lift it together, which shows how rich the Li family is.

Because the Li family had received the order to receive the prince in advance, the master of the Li family, Li Zongjing, brought his whole family, as well as servants, up and down, all kneeling at the gate to welcome him.

Li Zongjing looked about sixty years old, with a beard, he could tell he was a good man at a glance, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Caomin pay homage to four beiles and eight beiles!"

Yinzhen said indifferently: "You don't need to be too polite, old man, please get up."

Yinzhen is indifferent, but he seems to be very kind to this Li Zongjing. Although his face is still as indifferent as ever, Yunxu always feels that Yinzhen's performance is a bit "unusual", as if this Li Zongjing is not an ordinary person.

Yunhu was slightly suspicious in her heart, yes, it was the same before, the little eunuch came to ask her about staying, and said that if she had no objection, the fourth master would stay at the rich Jia Li's house in Tongshan.

Now that Brother Cheap's attitude towards Master Li is unusual, Yunxuan immediately paid more attention to it.

Immediately turned on the system quietly, and looked up Li Zongjing in the encyclopedia.

Ding!

[Space Encyclopedia: Li Zongjing, a native of Tongshan, Jiangnan, his ancestors attacked Jinyiwei with military exploits, and his family was well off. 】

Yunxu saw that Li Zongjing was just an ordinary person, nothing too special, and he was not a celebrity or official of the Qing Dynasty.

Ding!

[Encyclopedia of space: Li Wei, son of Li Zongjing. 】

Yunxu originally thought that Li Zongjing was not a big figure, but when he saw the supplementary explanation later, he narrowed his eyes.

Li Wei?

Speaking of the famous ministers of the Qing Dynasty, there are many ministers with power in the court, such as Mingzhu, Suo'etu, Longkodo, etc., but when it comes to the famous Hanchen, Li Wei is definitely well-known.

Li Wei's background was not noble, but from the Kangxi period to the Yongzheng period, it can be said that he rose steadily and rose steadily. He has other upright and upright people. Although he is not a celebrity, he has insight into people's livelihood and politics. He is definitely a rare honest official.

The Master Li in front of him is Li Wei's father!

Ding!
