Concubine Wen Xi who traveled through time

468 , The Emperor's Needle

Yinzhen was left speechless by being squeezed out, and Yinlu took the opportunity to speak aggressively: "Nian Gengyao is indeed a member of my younger brother's family, but because of this, my younger brother knows what he is like. Nian Gengyao has a somewhat rough temper, but the emperor How could the coated slave chosen by Ama be a collaborator and treason?! Fourth brother, don’t you think so?”

When talking with people, Yinlu always likes to smile, which is in stark contrast to the cold-faced Prince Yong, but the former often pushes people away.The sentence "Huang Ama personally chooses" means that Yinzhen has no possibility of refuting. If he refutes, he will question the emperor's father's vision, which is unfilial!

Yinzhen was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, so he couldn't say a word.If a slave like Nian Gengyao made such a big mistake under his sect, he would definitely kill him!The sixteenth brother is so defensive, could it be that he has fallen into the tender trap of a woman? !The concubine who spoils such a Han army flag... Hmph, it's a good thing he didn't give it to Honghui!

At this moment, Prince Yong has long forgotten that he also took a fancy to the Nian family at the beginning, and it was impossible to plan so hard!It's just that I can't eat grapes and think grapes are sour!

Kangxi only glanced at his sons lightly, and his tone was calm as usual with the unique majesty of an emperor: "In this case, let the Ministry of Criminal Interrogation slowly interrogate!" Kangxi especially bit the word "slowly" to give Nian Gengyao had enough time to get off the hook.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Xu Zhen stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Huang Ama, the army of the Western Expedition is short of food and grass, and it is no longer suitable to continue the fight. Please Huang Ama consider letting the army withdraw!"

Yinlu's face was solemn, and he immediately said: "Cewang Allah Butan burned and robbed our army's food and grass. How can we just forget about it? Besides, Cewang Allah Butan has enough food and grass, so he will definitely attack south again. With the army withdrawing, wouldn’t it mean that the vast territory in the northwest was handed over to Zhungeer?! I don’t know what the fourth brother’s words mean?!”

"Sixteenth brother, be careful!" Yinzhen reprimanded his elder brother with a stern face, "I'm just telling the truth for my brother! There is a shortage of food and grass in the household department, and it is already difficult to sustain! If the food and grass are cut off, the western expedition army will be destroyed. If you are hungry, how can you fight this battle?!"

Yin Lu gritted his teeth.He said urgently: "Huang Ama, the army cannot retreat! Since Huang Ama ruled the world, put down the San Francisco rebellion, the Galdan rebellion, and Taiwan, have you ever backed down?! Alabutan, you must not give in! In the past, San Francisco was flat. There were also times when food and grass were in short supply, and that time was more severe than today! As long as Huang Ama is in charge, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome!"

What Yinlu said hit the spot, whether to fight or not, the key is not whether there is a shortage of food or not, but Kangxi's will!

When Yinzhen saw Kangxi, he was faintly moved by persuasion.Immediately, he said sonorously: "In the past, Huang Ama put down Galdan and conquered it himself several times, and he just wiped it out! Today, you can't inquire about where the Allah Butan army is. There is no need to continue the fight. Withdrawing the army does not mean retreating, let alone admitting defeat! But saving food and grass is also a long-term solution!"

Not to be outdone, Yinlu said loudly: "The Qing Dynasty is strong and the people are rich. Even if there is a temporary shortage of food and grass, it is only temporary! There are still less than two months. This autumn's grain will be paid! The weather is good this year, and thanks to the fourth brother's stall The progress of entering the mu is very good. This year’s grain will definitely be more than in previous years! Therefore, it only needs to raise two months’ grain and grass for the army!”

Yinzhen sneered and said, "The sixteenth brother is so capable, why don't you go to prepare food and grass! Now the household department is in short supply of food and grass, and the folks are even more in short supply! Food prices are rising, even if the sixteenth brother is as rich as the country, he still can't raise enough. food!"

As soon as the food price was mentioned, Yinlu's heart became angry, but the more angry he was, the more decently he smiled on his face: "The fourth brother lives so high in the temple, he is so familiar with the folk price of food! My brother is really surprised! I don't know if the fourth brother can tell the younger brother who is secretly manipulating the bizarre rise in food prices?"

"How do I know this kind of thing!" Yinzhen flicked his sleeves fiercely, "Brother Sixteen is asking such a strange question!"

"Really?" Yinlu raised the corners of his lips, as long as it was a fox, he would definitely show his tail. He stepped forward again and said, "Please ask the emperor to judge!"

Kangxi looked at it coldly, and naturally he couldn't fail to see the clues, so he looked at the fourth son of the emperor Yinzhen coldly for a long time before saying: "Fourth, immediately send someone to escort 80 shi of grain to the northwest, and temporarily relieve the urgent need!"

Yinzhen panicked immediately: "Huang Ama, the grain stored in the household department is the salary that will be distributed to the courtiers in the second half of the year..."

"After the local taxes and food are paid, we can distribute them!" Kangxi's tone was majestic, and there was no doubt about it.

"Yes! My son complies with the order!" Yinzhen bowed hurriedly, looked at Yinlu again and said, "It's just that there is still a shortage of millions of shi of grain..."

Kangxi said: "I allocated 100 million taels of silver from the internal treasury, Yinlu, you can use it to buy military rations."

Yinzhen hurriedly said: "Now the grain price in Beijing--"

"Suppress it!" Kangxi interrupted Yinzhen's words suddenly, and then there was a deep and powerful cold light in the old eyes, "You have been in the Ministry of Households for many years, if you can't even do such a small thing as suppressing grain prices! In the future Don't be in charge of the household department!"

Yinzhen's heart sank suddenly, Huang Ama actually favored the old sixteen so much... Involuntarily, the fists under the sleeves of the horse's hooves clenched, and the veins bulged.It's just that the expression on his face was already humble, he bowed his head and said respectfully: "Yes, my son will definitely do his best!"

"Not doing my best!" Kangxi said coldly, "It must be done!" Kangxi's tone did not give him any room for change.

With such a tone and such power, the oppressive Yinzhen could hardly breathe, and at the same time, a deep sense of unwillingness rose in his heart.In the past when the prince was around, he could only submit to work for the prince and could not get Huang Ama's approval. Now that the prince has been deposed, it is Yinlu, who is more than ten years younger than him, who is replaced by Huang Ama's favor and protection!Could it be that the difference between concubine and concubine is really Tianyuan? !Could it be that his years of hard work are not as good as the Sixteenth Brother in the eyes of Huang Ama? !

Now that Kangxi issued the oral order, Yinzhen naturally did not dare to obey and disobey. He tried his best to arrange such a situation, but he had to destroy it with his own hands, and gave the victory to his enemies with his own hands! !

Ask the other sons to take care of their own affairs, and Kangxi only left Yinlu alone.The Hall of Mental Cultivation is empty, and none of the servants serving here dared to take a breath. Yinlu also held his breath, looked carefully at the emperor's father, and then murmured: "Huang Ama... "

Kangxi held the Langhao brush in his hand, raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Yinlu, "Nian Gengyao, you can use it, but you can't trust it."

"Yes, my son understands!" Yinlu hurriedly responded, and then a premonition that was not quite right, could it be... Huang Ama knew something?

"Do you understand why I gave you 100 million taels of silver?" Kangxi asked slowly.

Yin Lu breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his head and said: "My son understands, and I will send it back when I pay my respects to Queen Mother tomorrow!"

Yinlu had no intention of hiding this matter from Kangxi, not to mention that it would not be a good thing to have millions of taels of silver without a background. If he used private means, it would be no problem to get 500 million taels of silver.It's just that under the current situation, it is the most intense moment of seizing the heir, so we must not leave any excuses for others!So I can only ask my mother-in-law to go!

Silver, if you want to use this thing, you must use upright silver.What made Yin Lu even more relaxed was the importance of Huang Erniang in Huang Ama's heart!

After Yinlu left the palace, he went straight to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to visit Nian Gengyao, the deposed governor of Sichuan who was imprisoned here.

Although he was sent to prison, Nian Gengyao was treated well. It was a separate clean cell, not as damp as other places, and there were dry quilts available.Generally speaking, it belongs to senior prisoners.

"Slave greets master!" Seeing that it was Prince Yuan coming, Nian Gengyao immediately fell to his knees, crying as if seeing a savior, "Master, save this slave!"

Yin Lu frowned slightly, why did the brothers and sisters of the Nian family always look like this when they encounter problems... Then he showed his usual gentle smile: "Lianggong, you can rest assured! Huang Ama has already died five years ago. Brother and Seventh Brother cooperate in the trial."

Nian Gengyao is over forty years old, and his official career has just flourished, so he is naturally worried about gains and losses. His glory and the glory of the Nian clan are all pinned on Prince Yuan, so he is naturally afraid that Prince Yuan will regard her as an abandoned woman. son!In the prison for many days, trembling with fear, for fear that one day there will be an imperial decree to punish him!

Seeing Nian Gengyao's fearful look, Yinlu showed a slight look of disdain in his eyes, and then covered up his disdain, and then helped Nian Gengyao up himself and said, "Yirou has just become pregnant, and I am worried that you will be terribly worried. !"

Nian Gengyao suddenly showed surprise: "Little sister is pregnant?!"

Yin Lu had a trickle of smiles on his face, like a loving father. It was not in vain that he doted on Nian Yirou recently, and combined with the medicine, he was pregnant.

Yinlu patted Nian Gengyao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely let you see the birth of your little nephew!"

Nian Gengyao felt much more at ease at the moment, but couldn't help but ask: "My lord, anyway, those grains are all stuffed... why don't you let the servants say it?" A great crime, but on the contrary—if he poisoned Cewang Allah Butan, he would still be meritorious!

"Of course I have my reasons for doing this, you don't have to ask!" Yin Lu's expression froze instantly.

Cold sweat broke out on Nian Gengyao's forehead, and he didn't dare to say any more.

Immediately, Yinlu regained his gentle face, and said: "Don't worry, the scapegoat, the king, has already arranged for you to settle down. When the time comes, you only need to shift the responsibility to the lieutenant general!"

Nian Gengyao nodded hastily: "Yes, I remember it!"

After watching Nian Gengyao, Yinlu then returned to his palace, and told Xiao Chuanzi: "Flying pigeons overnight, inform the eighteenth brother, take the opportunity to take the initiative, remember not to keep any prisoners!" The 70 shi of grain was filled with chronic poison that had been carefully prepared for a long time. After seven days, the legs and feet would be sore and weak, and they would definitely die within ten days. Therefore, they had to be killed before they died, and no prisoners were left.If no prisoners were kept, but all were killed, no one would know that they were poisoned. At most, they would think that they were suffering from dysentery due to acclimatization...

"No!" Yinlu immediately stopped Xiao Chuanzi again, and said, "Let's tell Yue Zhongqi to do it!" Although the eighteenth brother is brave, it is the first time he has fought in battle, and he has never killed any prisoners. Not good. (To be continued.
