Emperor Yongzheng: Eagle Bow Sirius

Chapter 4 Stuttering in the post, the post-cheng, unlucky and unlucky, the prince deported back to Beijing (2)
Yin pursed his lips and looked at the sky, the snow was not falling too much, and the sparse snowflakes were weakly swaying and falling slowly with the wind.He murmured, seeing Yindi coming out of the east ear room, he said: "Are you okay?" Yindi was wearing a heavy and thick cotton gown, warmed up all night, and her spirit has fully recovered.Seeing Yin's group of people tidying up their things in a hurry, she first stared at him through the window, then listened to Yin asking herself, then came over in a few steps, knelt down on her knees, and kowtowed three times in the snow. He let out a voice: "Benefactor...you are leaving now? How can I repay you?...We are a poor family, and the benefactor is a noble person. I only hope that the benefactor will be promoted step by step, and the prince will last forever..." Yin smiled wryly , touched his bosom, there was no silver in it, but a handful of golden melon seeds - it was Nian Gengyao who gave him a drink to see him off, and won by guessing one before the banquet.They took them all out and said, "I can't afford to be grateful. In normal years, I would take you to the capital and help you feed and feed your family, but now it's not possible. Take this money and go back... "After that, his expression was gloomy.

Yindi raised her head all of a sudden, looking at Yin with tears in surprise.In an instant, Yin discovered that she was very handsome: Shaoxiu's face had been washed with snow water, with a pink flush; there were two faint smiles under the corners of her mouth; her black hair was somewhat disheveled, but black. Fluttering in the wind like the wings of a crow; the bottomless black pupils are childish, but also alert and mature beyond their age.Yin sighed: "In my palace in Beijing, the eight maids around me are not as good as you. It must be good to take you to serve Fujin. It's a pity... I am in the midst of accidents, so I can't take care of these. You can't walk like this, I advise you to change into men's clothes and take the main road to return home slowly." After saying that, he wanted to step down.

"Emperor!"

"Well?"

"I beg your benefactor to give you your name, and I will set up a longevity tablet for you when I go back!"

Yin Tian smiled calmly, walked down the steps slowly, and said without turning his head as he walked: "Since ancient times, how can there be a long life? I am not short-lived, but the heavens! The late emperor was alive, and the officials shouted long live every day. After all, he only reigned for 61 years. Good fortune is impermanent..." I don't know which sentence touched my mind, tears suddenly filled my eyes, I hurried out of the temple, bent down into the warm sedan chair, kicked my feet and said: "Get up the sedan chair!"

More than a hundred people surrounded the soft sedan chair covered with apricot-yellow felt, with one foot high and the other foot low, walking eastward on the snow-covered mountain road.Yindi stood at the gate of the temple and stared blankly, watching them until they disappeared in the wind and snow before returning to the temple...

The group trekked for several days in the wind and snow until they arrived at Luhe Station in the suburbs of Beijing. It was already the evening of November 26th. Kangxi passed away on November 61th, [-] years. Yun came to Beijing for the funeral, and Yun arrived in Beijing on December [-]th.It took one month and three days, and someone from the front flew to Beijing to report.After crossing the Yongding River, I saw Yin Tai, a scholar of the University, Gao Qizhuo, a member of the Ministry of Rites, Arsong'a, Su Nu and others, who were the officials of the Lifan Academy, and others came to pick them up.Yinti took a look and found that Alsun'a was the son of Amai'a, former minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Su Nu was under Prince Baagelian Yinhu's sect. They talked about everything when they were in Beijing. Under the chariot, he didn't dare to say a word, he only ordered to shout, and followed the crowd into the post station.During the national funeral, it is inconvenient to have a large banquet, so Yin Tai only ordered someone to prepare a table of plain banquets to welcome Yinti.You can't ask kabuki to play music for fun, you can't guess boxing games, and you can't shoot riddles. Everyone is very concerned about it.Therefore, after eating a few mouthfuls, seeing Yin put away the chopsticks, they all got up, went to the main room of the post station, and talked again.

"Mr. Zhuyun," Yinti took the main seat, glanced at Yin Tai who was opposite, and said, "Where is Huang Ama's Zi Palace? I'm going to guard the spirit tonight!"

Yin Tai is a bachelor of the Wenhua Palace, the number one student of the late Minister Xiong Cilu, who is famous for his old-fashioned Taoism.In the later years of Kangxi, because he followed the great scholar Wang Baozuo to abolish the prince, fined his salary and dismissed him from office, he was idle for many years. People in their [-]s had a beard and hair, and they were still in good spirits. The color of respect.He listened to Yinti's question, bowed on the chair, and said, "Emperor Daxing has given a posthumous title of 'Holy Ancestor', please pay attention to the Fourteenth Lord. The Holy Ancestor passed away on the thirteenth day in Changchun Garden On the same day, Yongzheng was enthroned in front of the coffin of the Long Live Lord, and moved to the Qianqing Palace by the Emperor Daxing. I received the order to pick up the General King and rest at the Luhe Post tonight, and I will call the Fourteenth Lord in tomorrow."

Facing these people, Yinti suddenly felt a sense of distance and strangeness. He remembered that when he sent out troops and let go of horses with thousands of horses and horses, it was the emperor who sat on the nine-fold king and ruled the world today and sent him here on behalf of the emperor. Not far away, we had a banquet under the green reed shed and left with tears.When I came back today, I have already divided the titles of monarchs and ministers. If the brothers and sisters of the direct relatives say that they are not allowed to enter the city, they have to stay outside the city obediently!It's true that the scenery remains the same, and nothing happens.Not far from here, in the Forbidden City, the old Ama, who was lying quietly in the cold Qianqing Palace, could no longer teach himself how to write with a pen, and could no longer watch himself dance with a sword while drinking wine... Yinti couldn't help crying Cen Cen, but he didn't want to lose his composure in front of someone like Yin Tai, so he quickly wiped it and said, "Yin Tai, since you can't go in, I will naturally obey the order. You are a well-known master of Neo Confucianism, please advise, I should see you first." Emperor Yongzheng, should we pay homage to the Holy Patriarch's spiritual throne first?"

"Loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness are the same principles, but they are in order." Yin Tai calmly said, "Loyalty is in the position of guarding the position. Today, the distinction between the monarch and the ministers has been determined. The Holy Son of Heaven is on top. He will have an audience with Long Live today. But Long live is also guarding the spirit day and night in Qianqing Palace, so it's not a bad idea to visit together." Yin Tai was confident and said very firmly.He usually doesn't know elder brother, but he actually has a good impression of Yinti, who is straightforward and heroic.For ordinary people, it is not worth mentioning who to see first and who to see later, but today Yongzheng is mean by nature, and he persuaded Yin to give the emperor's gift first, and then pay a visit to Kangxi Zigong. The board is stiff and straight, which makes people feel uncomfortable when they hear it.Arsunah came with Yin Tai, and when he saw Yin Tai treating Yinti like this, he gave Yin Tai a glance, and cursed in his heart: "The old coffin is a piece of shit," but said in his mouth: "Loyalty and filial piety are one body, Mr. Yin said it very well." Filial piety is the foundation of loyalty, unfilial piety means disloyalty, and a non-filial son cannot be a loyal minister. Since the Lord Long Live is also in the Zi Palace, it is okay to ask for an edict temporarily." Yin Tai knew that he was refuting himself, so he did not defend himself, with no expression on his face. Expressionless, he turned his face and said to Yin: "There is one thing, I want to go back to the Fourteenth Master of the Ming Dynasty. After Long Live ascended to the throne, all elder brothers will avoid it. Therefore, all elder brothers' 'Yin' will be changed to 'Yun'. Yin Yun Yin is close, and it is not easy to distinguish verbally, if the Fourteenth Master has something to say, please correct it carefully."

This is what the question should mean, and Yinti could also hear Yin Tai's kindness, so he couldn't help nodding his head and said: "Take care of me, from now on, Xiao Wang's name is just Yun."

"Master Fourteen," Arsunah saw that Yun Zheng didn't even look at him, knowing that he had misunderstood.Before coming to pick up Yun, He Zhu'er, the eunuch of Ba Age's Mansion, made a special trip to meet him, and told him to meet Yun alone and report the situation in Beijing in detail.Seeing that the chief officer is Yin Tai, an inexplicably bad old man, and the rest of the people are all harboring ulterior motives and are vigilant, where can they ask for opportunities?Arsunha sat beside him and pondered for a long time. It was absolutely impossible to see Yun alone, but he kept silent and pretended to be dumb. Lord, Lord Ninth, and Lord Thirteen have all met. All the gentlemen said that they should have come to welcome the wind in person, but they all value their filial piety, so I asked the servant to tell the master to take care of himself." This is like a letter of safety to Yun. Yun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down and said: "Both brothers have taken care of you. We are filial to each other, so there is no need to talk about these rituals." Su Nu looked at Yin Tai and Gao Qizhuo, and followed Arson's words Said: "It's not all about keeping filial piety. Long live Lord is new, and he has to take care of all the affairs. He keeps watch at night, and the memorials are brought to the Qianqing Palace for disposal. The third master, the thirteenth master, and the eighth master are now in the South Study Room, and Long Kedo and Ma Qi are jointly in charge of the country's funeral affairs. In order to prevent collusion inside and outside the party and riots at the funeral, Nine cities have been closed for [-] days."

This amounts to yet another message, and one that is even more important.The so-called "treacherous party" and so on, Yun is clear-eyed, referring to the "three regrets" of the new emperor Yongzheng's life--the eighth elder brother Yunyu, the ninth elder brother Yunyu, and the tenth elder brother Yunyu me-of course, he is "internal and external". "The "outside".Yunyu couldn't help being nervous for a while, but at the same time he was a little relieved and relaxed: It's very clear, the eighth elder brother has not been overthrown, and Yongzheng's throne is not secure!Dangers and opportunities exist at the same time, and of course things can be done——Yunzhen was agitated by these few words, his heart beat wildly, his eyes flashed suddenly, and he wanted to ask something, but he suppressed it again, and turned to ask Gao Qizhuo: "What's your name? I haven't seen it before!"

"Back to the Fourteenth Master," Gao Qizhuo hurriedly bowed his body and smiled apologetically, "I was originally the acting prefect of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, and has been out all the time. I was transferred to the Ministry of Rites a few days ago, so I have no chance to meet the Fourteenth Master." Dry and thin, with piercing black bean eyes and a slightly disfigured face, he is smart and quick to know that he is a character who is full of information and can move at the touch of a button.Yun tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "I remembered, you read Fengshui very well. The book "Kan Yu Jia Yan" you wrote is very interesting." Suddenly, Gao Qizhuo thought that Gao Qizhuo was the food supervisor in front of Nian Gengyao's account. The person who was single-handedly promoted by the general manager Li Wei fell silent again.But Gao Qizhuo was scratched to the itch by him, and he continued to say: "Fengshui was first mentioned in the Han Dynasty and originated in the Tang Dynasty. Geography corresponds to astronomy, and there are people who are unpredictable. When the late emperor was there, Zeng ordered his ministers to accompany Qin Tianjian. Yuanming went to Fengtian to see the Fuling Mausoleum of the Taizu, and when he came to Zunhua, Yuanming took a fancy to a piece of land: the land started from the dragon's head on the Lying Yanshan Mountain, and the drums were wrapped one by one, and the shape was like a turtle's back. Like a long snake, it stretches straight down to the southeast, and is in contact with Shizu Jingling. He said that this land is good, but I said that this land is the land of generals, not the land of kings. If you don’t believe me, if you dig down, it will definitely There is water. Ask someone to dig it, and it is just as it should be! Even Yuanming was convinced, and asked his ministers to accompany him to look at it from ridge to ridge, and then he chose the Jingling of Emperor Daxing! The ancestral tomb of Grand Master Zhang Tingyu and Xiangye Please let me have a look, and I agree, but I'm afraid it will hinder Young Master Ling, and there will be disadvantages for Younger Brother Ling. Let me just say a word, I have also seen the ancestral tomb of Mr. Yin, Mr. Ling has already passed the examination, if he is not in the current department, he will be in the next one, if he is not in the top three, please goug out my eyes!" He said Chattering, graceful gestures, how to look at the direction of the mountains, detect the atmosphere of the earth, look at the dragon, check the veins of the earth, spit all over the place, and everyone is stunned when they hear it.Alsuna said nonchalantly, "I never thought that my brother is so familiar with the principles of yin and yang. It is a good fortune, and I will definitely be able to choose a better mausoleum for today's Wansui."

Sometimes a sentence is like a gate, which can block the tide of topics.Originally, it was not a taboo thing for the emperors of all dynasties to choose a mausoleum when they ascended the throne. However, Kangxi’s body was still cold and had not yet been buried. I felt that he had ulterior motives and puns, although I couldn't find fault, I felt a thump in my heart.Gao Qizhuo also consciously lost his composure, blushed, ate his tea with his head down, and never said anything about the earthy "sweet and bitter".

"I'm tired too," Yunyu got up and stretched his head, "today, I will rest for the night according to my will. Gao Qizhuo is good at geomancy, so it may not be meaningless to call him in after Wansui. Mr. Qizhuo has free time, Show me a piece of land in the future, not asking for wealth and honor, but asking for the safety of generations to come, please pay attention." After saying that, they gave up their hands, and everyone hurriedly bowed and resigned.
