The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 223 Abandoning the Prince Again
Second Young Master Zhang...

It is never possible to call Zhang Tingyu like this in the paddock now, only Zhang Tingyu is called "Old Man" or "Master", and "Second Master Zhang" can only call Zhang Ruoai.

This kid has been wandering around in the paddock recently with the Fourteenth Master and the people from the Firearms Camp. On the way to Rehe, he was already learning how to fire a gun. At least it is no problem to shoot a gun with a matchlock. out?
Gu Huaishu suddenly didn't understand, and the people in the tent also felt strange, so they simply went out to have a look.

A lot of people had already surrounded the Kangxi tent in front of them. Watching the guards in front of them carry the deer back, there was a piece of blood and flesh around the deer's neck, which was obviously not injured by bows and arrows, but by firecrackers.

She said, how could Brother Margaret shoot a deer?

But he was only in his teens, so it was too early to show the limelight.

When Gu Huaishu passed by, he only watched from a distance, and everyone over there was amazed. Zhang Tingyu just watched Zhang Ruo'ai riding over with a firecracker. age."

Kangxi clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "What a boy, you are indeed a good boy, get up quickly, you can shoot a deer with a blunderbuss, that's a skill. Zhang Tingyu, your son is much better than you!"

Zhang Tingyu stood aside, pursed his lips, and looked at Zhang Ruoai with complicated eyes.

Zhang Ruoai got up, and now standing under the sun, there is a kind of upright temperament of a young man, with a bit of determination, which is naturally different from ordinary Jiangnan literati.

He is very happy now, even though he knows the truth of not being forgetful when he is proud, but the corners of his lips are still curled up, and he said humbly: "It is Master Fourteen who taught me well, and Ruo Ai learned well."

Yinzhen, who just rode over, heard this sentence, and interjected: "At any rate, I still know how to remember the fourteenth master taught you, I didn't say that you learned it by yourself, I can be regarded as half of your husband. "

The fourteenth elder brother is very good at riding and shooting, and he was taught by Kangxi himself. As for the firecracker, he is the best among all the elder brothers. Older brothers?Most of them know how to use it, but they are not good at it. Manmeng Eight Banners like bows and arrows, but they are not very hot on hot weapons? .Only the young princes are good at it, the thirteenth prince and the fourteenth prince are the best at this among so many young princes, and the fourteenth is especially outstanding.

Kangxi looked at Zhang Ruoai, but what he thought of was this old fourteen who was both civil and military.

The students he taught can all shoot deer, which shows the ability of the old fourteen.

Everyone knew that Zhang Ruoai shot the deer very well, and they couldn't help admiring it. The little fat man in the capital would laugh when everyone said it, but now Yushu Linfeng is handsome and unrestrained, as if he is capable of both civil and military skills.But what anyone noticed was Kangxi's gratifying eyes on Elder Fourteen.

This kind of gaze made Yinhu feel uncomfortable in his heart, and naturally made Yinzhen fearful.

It's just that no one has said anything now.

After Kangxi said a few words to Zhang Ruoai, he saw Dong Zhu'er who was already standing aside, and also saw Mrs. Zhang who was looking at her from a distance.

Dong Zhu'er could have come here to watch with Xie, but now she walked over directly and said, "Who shot the deer?"

"Hahaha, it's this kid." Kangxi laughed loudly, and said, "I remember you said you wanted to learn firecrackers from Old Fourteen, but you couldn't learn it, and you almost blew yourself up. Ability? You are fourteen this year, right? Much more capable than you."

Dong Zhu'er was a little dazed, but when she heard Kangxi's words, she stared unwillingly, and then turned her head to stare at Zhang Ruoai, quite unkindly.

"The emperor made fun of Dong Zhu'er again, she is clearly a brat, how powerful can it be?"

"Hey, princess, this deer was really shot by Zhang Ergong, don't talk nonsense, this is my master's student." Yinzhen had already dismounted, returned to his seat and sat down, seeing Dong Zhuer's expression Seeing Zhang Ruoai's disdain, she immediately defended her shortcomings.

Zhang Tingyu still just stood aside and laughed, without saying a word.

Zhang Ruoai turned her head and saw Dong Zhu'er, and saw that she was good-looking, she was charming, but also refreshing, her eyes were watery, and her eye circles were still a little red.

Why do you say it wasn't the deer you shot?
Zhang Ruoai was too lazy to talk to her, so she simply stopped talking.

On the contrary, when Dong Zhuer saw his appearance, she became angry: "What do you mean? Are you also looking down on me?"

"...I'm just too lazy to talk."

Zhang Ruoai couldn't help but defend herself.

How is this different from looking down on Dong Zhuer?
I have nothing to say...

The princes and ministers here almost laughed out loud. Princess Dongzhuer has always been sharp-tongued, but she never expected to meet Zhang Ruoai who was as difficult as Zhang Tingyu and who didn't like to argue with others recently.

Now Dong Zhu'er didn't know that this was Zhang Ruo'ai's son, and after arguing with Zhang Ruo'ai, she stomped her feet angrily.

Naturally, Zhang Tingyu saw that his son's appearance was quite unflattering, and seeing that Dong Zhu'er was about to cry again, he said, "Brother Ai, don't be naughty, hurry up and make amends to the princess."

As soon as this remark came out, Dong Zhu'er was stunned, and looked at Zhang Tingyu with big eyes without blinking, and couldn't help pointing at Zhang Ruoai, obviously unable to react: "This...he...I...he Is it Mr. Zhang’s son?”

Things started to develop in an interesting direction. Gu Huaishu only watched from a distance for a while, then walked back.

This Dong Zhuer's heart is not bad, so let them go.

Seeing her leaving, Nian Chenyu actually followed her.

"Hasn't Madam stopped watching?"

"It's just a deer. It's not something interesting. It's too common for children to bicker." Gu Huaishu smiled, helped the crumbling green emerald orchid hairpin on his head, and looked back at the year. Chen Yu glanced, "Why are you back?"

Just now I saw Fourth Master take a look this way, after all, Chen Yu is still the most favored in Prince Yong's mansion.

Nian Chenyu smiled slightly, and said: "Didn't you say that there is nothing to see, why should I watch it, why don't I go back and have a rest.

Seeing that the wind is about to blow, it's better not to hang around outside normally, Jingzhong also secretly communicated with this side, and Nian Chenyu knew that the accident happened in the past few days.

There is no one else in the capital, only the prince is there, it would be strange if nothing happened.

When one is proud, it is easy to get lost.

Nian Chenyu sighed softly: "Usually seeing Madam would only be dazzling, but now seeing Madam, I feel close to her. I really don't know if it's you who have changed or me."

"It's the day that has changed."

Gu Huaixiu smiled slightly, and then said: "There is a cloud in the Sixth Patriarch's Altar Sutra, 'Sometimes there is a wind blowing and the flags move, one monk said the wind moved, and the other monk said the flags moved. There are endless discussions. Huineng Jin said: No The wind moves, the non-flag moves, and the heart of the benevolent moves.'”

Nian Chenyu knew that Fourth Master liked to practice sitting meditation in Buddhism, but he didn't expect that Gu Huaishu was also a person who meditated casually.

Those words that the fourth master said, few people can usually understand, Nala family followed the fourth master, also ate fast and recited Buddha, and stayed in the mansion all day long.

"Ma'am, what you mean is that the time has actually changed, so has Chen Yu's heart also changed?"

"The world is ever-changing, your heart has changed, and mine has grown old."

In fact, she is still caring, and small changes are gradually accumulated. Even though her heart is old, some real things still remain, such as ambition and other things.

In the same way, Nian Chenyu is also changing, so there is such a dialogue today.

It's just that I didn't expect that Nian Chenyu looked at her and smiled, with complicated eyes: "No, you are not old at all."

Gu Huaishu finally laughed out loud slowly. She looked at the distant mountains and forests, which were sparse and full of autumn anxiety, but the sun was fine and the weather was warm.

She can often feel that she is aging slower than ordinary people...

There was always such a strange feeling lingering in Gu Huai's sleeves, but she dared not tell anyone.

For example, what Chen Yu said this year really made her sad and helpless.

After all, I still think of Zhang Tingyu...

Gu Huaishu looked at his jade-white palm, and said, "I'm not very old... But wouldn't it be interesting if I could add a few white hairs?"

"Only you have such courage and confidence."

What Nian Chenyu cares about most now is her offspring and her beauty. Does fourth master like her because of her face, and because of Nian Gengyao now, but what if she changes?

Not everyone is like Zhang Tingyu, and not everyone is like Gu Huaishu.

Nian Chenyu thought for a while, then said: "It's cold these days, it's going to be windy, remember to add two more clothes."

"Thank you, Fujin, for your concern, that minister's wife will leave."

Gu Huaixiu saluted, then headed towards his tent, Nian Chenyu stood where he was, and looked back at Yinzhen, who was sitting majestically on the sidelines, and Zhang Tingyu, who was standing beside Kangxi, and thought of this When it came to the situation between the government and the opposition, there was just a mess in his mind.

She just heard that fourth master said that the wind was going to blow up, so she came to tell Gu Huaixiu.

It's just that the next few days were exceptionally calm and nothing happened.

Zhang Ruoai still learned riding and archery and firecrackers from the Fourteenth Lord, but the emperor personally gave him face, and no one dared to make irresponsible remarks. The fourth elder brother was humiliated, and he learned firecrackers from Fourteen again.This is a good time, Dongzhuer and Zhang Ruoai are not enemies and do not get together, apart from learning firearms with Shisi, the two start to quarrel whenever they have free time, Zhang Ruoai often responds to changes with the same, Dong Zhuer has repeatedly hit the wall , in a hurry.

Princess Dongzhuer was originally a very pleasant person, but when the news of her anger with Zhang Ruoai reached Kangxi, the princes and ministers really laughed out their teeth.

Now Dong Zhu'er has also forgotten the sad things she had done to Zhang Tingyu and his wife before, and she only argues with Zhang Tingyu's son, and never tires of it.

Anyway, Dong Zhuer, who never knew how to learn firecrackers, was able to hunt with firecrackers this time within half a month, which is very capable.

The fourteenth brother is strange. He didn't know how to teach in the past, and he yelled "what a piece of shit" for the first time, but when he came to school the next morning, he knew it. It's really amazing.

Zhang Ruoai calmed down, only when he shot the prey, he would be much happier.

Dong Zhu'er asked him about his father, and Zhang Ruoai's mother, her intentions were really bad, Zhang Ruoai only told her so that she would not pester him all day.

This is good, now Dong Zhu'er doesn't pay attention to Zhang Tingyu at all, and only likes to hear all kinds of interesting things from Zhang Ruoai, but gradually some strange words come out.

When Gu Huaixiu heard the rumors from others, he almost spit out a mouthful of tea. Things are going too fast, right?

Counting that Dong Zhuer is only three or four years older than Zhang Ruoai, she has the same temperament as a child, but...

"Just now when I came in and heard the palace people say that heaven makes a pair and ground makes a pair, the slaves are scared..." Qingdai Xuxu said, sighed, and combed Gu Huaixiu's hair, "Come here today, and I heard someone say Princess Dongzhuer went out with Second Young Master."

This is a tricky business.

Dongzhuer is Mongolian Gege, and their family is Han. Manchu and Han do not intermarry, unless Kangxi gives special permission to order, or they have to raise the flag.

Gu Huaixiu touched the light purple earrings in his hand, and frowned, the flag was raised long ago, why wait for Zhang Tingyu, Zhang Ying's generation didn't have it, and Zhang Tingyu's generation wouldn't have it either.

"Forget it, let's take a step at a time. Brother Ai is not a willful person. The second master knows it well, so I don't need to worry about it."

That's what he said, but Gu Huaixiu couldn't help paying attention, and finally one night, Gu Huaixiu asked Zhang Tingyu about it, and Zhang Tingyu unexpectedly said: "The emperor also told me about this matter today... ..."

Counting Zhang Ruoai is not too young, his father only married in his twenties, Zhang Ruoai should not be so late.

"What does the emperor say?"

"I didn't say it clearly, I just mentioned that Princess Dongzhuer and Brother Ai got close recently..." Zhang Tingyu seemed to be deliberating, "I guessed that Princess Dongzhuer was planning to give it to the Fourteenth Prince..."

These words frightened Gu Huaishu, she sat up and looked at him: "Is this true?"

Zhang Tingyu put his elbows on the pillow, just propped his head up to look at her, and said leisurely, "Why are you lying to me? My son is robbing the emperor's son for a woman..."

Things are weird.

Some time ago, it was Dong Zhuer who fell in love with Zhang Tingyu. Now people think about it, what is so good about Zhang Tingyu as an old man?It's better to be Zhang Tingyu's son. Yushu Linfeng is capable, but it's a pity that he is a Han.But in the end, the Princess of the county could see her, so she talked with Zhang Ruoai in a blink of an eye.

Thinking about it carefully, this pair is quite interesting, so subtle that Gu Huaixiu doesn't know what expression to make.

"...Why do I feel that disaster is coming?"

Gu Huaixiu touched his eyelids, and Zhang Tingyu pulled him down to sleep again.

"Some things are beyond our control. The fourteenth prince may not have that kind of heart for Dong Zhu'er, but who can disobey the emperor's will? To them, it's not about sleeping with any woman, what matters is behind the woman..."

It all depends on the power of the mother's family. Horqin's women presumably have a different status in the harem of the Qing Dynasty.

Thinking about these things was annoying, so Gu Huaishu simply stopped thinking about it.

God's will is unpredictable, who knows what Kangxi will do?
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Gu Huaixiu still closed his eyes.

Time passes through August, and it goes faster. Seeing that this year's Mulan autumn is coming to an end, the news from the capital has finally arrived.

All the appearances of the crown prince in Beijing were transferred to Kangxi's subordinates, whipping the princes and ministers, domineering in the palace, feeding noodles and having fun with the maids, it can be called lawless...

His good son...

When receiving these news, Kangxi was extremely calm.

He ordered to break camp and return to Rehe, and Dong Zhuer also got special permission to follow Rehe back to the capital.

In the middle of the journey, there was still news that was passed to the top, passing through Zhang Tingyu, and came to Kangxi again. Kangxi looked at it one by one. This time, it was an edict to order the officials to kneel outside the hall, because the officials came to advise the prince to restrain himself. How can Yinfeng listen to his words and deeds?It gets worse and worse, he is the biggest without Kangxi, not to mention he will become emperor soon?
As soon as he arrived in Rehe, Kangxi fell ill. He was accompanied by elder brothers, but it didn't last long.

But on this day, Zhang Tingyu received another report. He saw the cowhide sealed outside, thought about it, and entered Kangxi's bedroom at this time: "Your Majesty, there is news from the capital..."

Kangxi's elbows are stiff now, his eyes are cloudy, and he has not recovered from his illness, so he said: "You read it."

Later, San Dezi immediately set up a table for Zhang Tingyu. According to the usual rules, after Zhang Tingyu finished reading, the emperor would have a reply, which required paper notes.Zhang Tingyu took the paper cutter from the case, unpacked it and took out the sealed folder, only glanced at it, but didn't read it.

Kangxi knew that it was a secret book from the capital, so he only said: "Read."

"August [-]rd, the crown prince and Chang had a secret meeting in Li Jia's Garden; on the evening of August [-]rd, he and Xiangbaiqi's vice-deputy were in the same pavilion for a long time, and I didn't know what he said; on August [-]th, in the middle of no one At that time... sit on the throne of Qianqing Palace, and order your confidantes to bow down to him."

A few words can be called shocking.

Zhang Tingyu looked at Kangxi, who laughed three times, "Good, good, good! Very good!"

very good...

I don't know if he was stimulated by this incident, but Kangxi suddenly fainted. San Dezi immediately called the imperial physician, it was Sun Zhiding.

At the back was Sun Lianqiao, who was dressed as a medical girl. Because Kangxi trusted Sun Zhiding the most, he treated him with extra kindness. Sun Zhiding was old and needed someone to help him, so he chose his married daughter to accompany him this time. Serving the emperor's body.

Zhang Tingyu put down the secret fold, San Dezi came over to gather it, and then Zhang Tingyu left.

Kangxi's illness didn't last long. Perhaps it was because of Sun Zhiding's superb medical skills, or perhaps it was because Kangxi finally figured it out. Three days later would be an auspicious day, and he set off to return to Beijing.

On the way back to Beijing from Rehe, Kangxi made another imperial decree to abolish the prince.

The emperor can bear anything, the emperor, the minister, the father, the son, and the son, the "jun" is always the one in front.

It would be fine if only the real situation of the former Naxi was there, but how can the emperor's dragon chair in the Qing Palace be the current crown prince's?
Adding up one incident after another, the crown prince finally fell again after three incidents.

The imperial decree was drafted by Zhang Tingyu, and the eloquent article was written. When Kangxi said it, he was no longer as heartbroken as he was when the prince was abolished. He was like an old man who was about to enter the coffin, using his spare energy to send his favorite son to the point of no return. .

The prince actually colluded with the leaders of the imperial guards, and even the prince's confidantes entrusted Heqi to have a drink with the officials in the mansion to support the prince.

Unexpectedly, Kangxi was originally a situation. Those who dissented in the palace were wiped out on the day Kangxi arrived in Beijing.

There were only four years between the restoration of the prince and the abolishment of the prince. The glory that belonged to Yinfeng had already disappeared in 47 years, and the next four years were just a dying struggle. Only lingering.

Unhealed madness, what a good excuse?

If the crown prince is abolished again, his henchmen will be impeached immediately by the ministers of other factions in the court, and countless people will be implicated in it for a while, most of the court and the opposition will be involved, and the killing will be heavy.

In a blink of an eye, the end of 51 years was approaching, and Kangxi finally decreed that Zhang Tingyu should go to the clan mansion to mention Yinfeng, and move to Xian'an Palace.

At the same time, Kangxi also issued another decree, giving Heshuogege, the daughter of Prince Horqin Darhan, to the fourteenth prince as a side Fujin, who will be married on an auspicious day.

After Zhang Tingyu heard this, he retreated and went all the way to Xian'an Palace, and read the emperor's kindness to the prince. The prince was reduced to a prisoner, but he still served him with delicious food and drink.

Yinfeng looked at Zhang Tingyu with a sneer on his face: "I was deposed four years ago, and you were the one who hindered me. This time I will be deposed again, and you must be the one who encouraged Huang Ama!"

"Prince Duce, but he spouted blood." Zhang Tingyu stood without changing his face, "The loyalty of a humble minister to the emperor is a lesson from heaven and earth, and only the emperor can make his ministers loyal."

The implication is that Zhang Tingyu is only loyal to the emperor, what kind of thing is your prince?
Whether Zhang Tingyu is loyal or traitor, only he knows.

After the imperial decree was handed over, Zhang Tingyu didn't want to say anything to Yinreng. For Tianhuang nobles, this fate was miserable enough.He was about to leave, but Yinfeng stopped him again: "In the past, your eldest brother was loyal to me, but he didn't expect his second brother to be such a sinister villain!"

"..."

Hearing this, Zhang Tingyu finally stopped. He waved his hand and told the people next to him to go first, but turned around to look at Yinfeng.

Now Yinfeng's eyes are red, he is extremely unwilling, but his face is full of sarcasm.

He has been the prince for too long, and he doesn't know how he got to where he is now...

He wanted to grab hold of the straw, so he leaned over and looked at Zhang Tingyu, his eyes suddenly brightened: "Zhang Tingyu, I promised you prosperity and wealth for your eldest brother, and maybe I will give you prosperity and wealth. Once established, there will be a second time, and those who know current affairs are heroes..."

"Are you assassinated by your people with poisoned arrows like my elder brother?"

Zhang Tingyu just smiled slightly, his voice was calm and even soft, extremely gloomy.

Yinfeng suddenly retreated as if he had seen a ghost, even fell to the ground, and said in shock, "Where did you know that?!"

I always thought that Zhang's family didn't know about it, especially when he went to pay homage to Zhang Tingzan in hypocrisy. I know, how can I endure until now?
Before Yinfeng could react, he suddenly felt cold in his heart.

Zhang Tingyu's appearance is clearly incomparable, that is to say...

He was deposed, and the Zhang family must take revenge.

Zhang Tingyu only slowly said to Yinfeng: "You are the nobleman of heaven, the proud son of heaven, since you think that after being reinstated and abolished, you will be abolished and reinstated again, then my minister... wait and see."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Even if Yinreng was told that Zhang Tingyu had made great efforts to depose him, his party members were wiped out, and Qingliu from the Hanlin Academy was all impeached, even if he was restored, how many people would Yinreng still be able to use?
What's more, can there be a restoration?
Zhang Tingyu is still by the emperor's side...Even if Yinfeng knew that someone was retaliating against him, he would not dare to speak out. Once the matter of Zhang Tingzan was revealed, there would be no place for Kangxi to save face, and the prince would never have a chance to be reinstated.Combined with Suo'etu's murder of the ministers in the court, it was still the crown prince's doing. How could Kangxi bear what happened under his nose?
So, the prince didn't say anything, and Zhang Tingyu didn't say anything.

As for restoration?

It's just a big dream in Spring and Autumn.

Under Yinreng's horrified and vicious eyes, Zhang Tingyu walked out slowly.

After returning to the palace and resuming his life, Zhang Tingyu went out of the palace and returned to the mansion.

Gu Huaixiu already knew at home about Dong Zhuer's gift of marriage to the fourteenth elder brother, and he kept frowning, "The prince's affairs are over, but I don't know how the government and the public will change... Those are secondary , about Brother Ai..."

"What else can I do?"

Zhang Tingyu sat down on the warm kang, with his official uniform draped over his legs, and only looked at the beaded curtain in front of him.

"Children have to grow up..."

Before he finished speaking, Ade asked someone to hand over a folder, and Zhang Tingyu asked Bai Lu to take it, and opened it by himself, but he didn't move for a long time.

"what happened?"

Gu Huaixiu saw that his expression was not good, and he was a little confused.

Zhang Tingyu closed the booklet slowly, and said: "Princess Dongzhu'er... committed suicide."
