Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Chapter 194
Everyone pulled him to rate, and joked about the one with the lowest score, so they wanted to have a banquet for them.

Speaking out is just a joke between brothers.

The one selected at the end, Yin Li smiled embarrassedly and took away the poem.

The dinner in the afternoon and the banquet in the restaurant were funded by Yinli, but Yinzhen saw that the cost was a bit high, so he paid for it himself.

Yinli was more or less embarrassed.

Yinzhen smiled and said: "You are young, your family is poor, and your family is full of places to spend money. Let me be the elder brother. When you have more money in the future, please come back."

Yinli was a little moved, feeling that his fourth brother was not the completely heartless person that outsiders said.

Yinli thanked him in his heart.

The two went back to the house one after the other, and greeted the brothers to continue eating and drinking.

On March [-]th, during Kangxi's Longevity Festival, University scholar Wang Jie once again proposed to Kangxi to reinstate Yinfeng as the prince, but he was not allowed and was punished.

He should have been relegated and sent to guard the frontier.

But because Wang Jie was getting old, Kangxi decided to let his son guard the western frontier instead.

In the same month, Kangxi ordered Yinzhen, who had just returned to Beijing, to participate in the review of the examination papers of the Gongshihui.

Yinzhen knew in his heart that this was the emperor's father asking him to choose his own people.

The Jinshi said to the emperor's disciples.

However, every year the chief examiner of the exam will be called a teacher by the candidates.

In the final analysis, the chief examiner should not be a person trusted by the emperor, because it is too easy to form partisans.

You must know that most of the people who take the exam have no foundation. As long as the powerful reach out, most of them are willing to be subordinates.

Faced with Kangxi's kindness, Yinzhen didn't slap his nose on the face, but looked at it, picked out a few that he thought were good, kept it in his heart, and didn't show it.

The rest are handled according to the rules.

Kangxi was quite satisfied after seeing the list of candidates for this test.

After learning about Yinzhen's deeds, I feel even more satisfied with him in my heart. No matter how I look at it, I feel that he understands the general situation, advances and retreats, and is much better than Yinzhen back then.

After thinking about it, he not only rewarded Yinzhen with some silver taels, but also rewarded Umalu with some things.

Kangxi later asked Yinzhen again, and asked him to find out about the Panchen Lama.

Yinzhen said, the road is far away, and there is no news yet.

Kangxi could only hold back his temper.

In May, Yinzhen moved to Ganzhou in an attempt to take advantage of the victory and go straight to Ili, the lair of Cewang Arabutan.

During June and July, the person Yinzhen sent to look for the Panchen Lama finally wrote back, saying that at the end of July, after the Panchen Lama finished his empowerment ceremony, he would secretly come here under the pretext of retreat.

Yinzhen was still outside and could not go back, so he sent a secret letter to send someone back.

In the past few years, the floods have been severe, and from time to time, there are rumors that people are plotting rebellion somewhere.

Kangxi was getting old, so he had to send the princes under him to look around.

However, most of these things are related to corruption and bribery, so it is inevitable that Yinzhen will be assigned more frequently.

Before Yinzhen arrived, the officials and masters in the city got the news and got together to discuss.

An official said: "Prince Yong is usually stubborn, and he will never leave until the truth is found out."

He gritted his teeth and said, "But when he finds out the truth, we will count one by one, and no one will run away."

Another official said: "Then let's find a way to make him ours."

"Do you think no one has thought about it before us?" The official sneered, "But they are so arrogant that they look down on us rubble rats."

There were several people who did not speak at the table, but everyone only looked at the lord sitting in the main seat in the hall.

The official in charge took a sip of tea slowly, and said, "Tell me, what are you worried about? Even if you are caught, you can report it. In the end, the emperor just asked us to make up the shortfall."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said with a flattering smile: "Yes, yes, Master Liu is right. Didn't we hear that the cold-faced Hades is coming, and we lost our heads for a while?"

Master Liu said with a smile: "What's so scary about him, let's wait until he becomes the emperor one day."

Mr. Liu stroked his beard, but he didn't pay attention to Yinzhen at all.

That's not right.

Master Liu said with a smile: "Although we are not afraid of him, but after all, he is a prince from Beijing, we should be polite."

Everyone laughed together and said, "That's how it should be."

Just like the imperial envoys in the past, as long as they fooled the past, those people would not care about them.

Even if this is the most difficult Prince Yong, so what?

They have nothing to fear.

Several people agreed on an idea and bid farewell to each other.

A minister went back to the house, sat there all night, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.

When Yinzhen arrived here, he was ordered to supervise and handle affairs.Officials from top to bottom are very cooperative.

If you ask about the river embankment, the officials will complain endlessly.It is said that the finances are tight every year, and they save and save the funds allocated every year.But it was always not enough. We had to tear down the west wall to make up for the east wall, and tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. The embankment really couldn't take care of it.

Yinzhen is not a three-year-old child, so how could they be deceived.He just listened quietly, and after listening, he nodded slightly, just knowing.

No one was sure what he meant, they looked at each other and became more and more cautious.

Because of the collusion between the top and bottom, and the protection of officials and officials, Yinzhen was unable to find out anything for a while.

Yinzhen had no choice but to record what he had found, and return it to Kangxi for reading.

The day before his departure, a ranger threw a package through the window.

The servant next to Yinzhen opened it for him, and inside was a thick stack of ledgers and letters, which recorded the details of corruption and bribery of officials, big and small, in the entire state capital, specific to a certain day and time of the year.

Yinzhen was frightened and angry. After recovering from his senses, he told the servant to prepare the horse that night and return to the capital quickly.

Maybe they saw the opportunity quickly, and they didn't hear any news on the way back to the capital.

Yinzhen handed over all the evidence to Kangxi, and after Kangxi turned a few pages, he asked Yinzhen to put it away.

Yinzhen put it away in silence.

Kangxi said with a blank expression: "With these physical evidences, you are famous for killing or cutting them in the future."

Yinzhen can only accept orders: "Yes."

Kangxi said: "Okay, you don't have to think so much. Today is the winter solstice, you can go to the southern suburbs to worship the sky for me."

"Yes."

In November, Yinzhen had arrived in the capital, and he was in order to discuss with Kangxi the matter of suppressing Tsewang Arabtan in the coming year.

Although it is possible to send a letter, it is not as fast and effective as a face-to-face meeting.

Besides, he missed his family too.The emperor's father, mother-in-law, starlings, and ninth brothers.

Well, he also misses that annoying fourth brother.

Yinzhen rested for a few days before entering the palace to face the saint.

After the discussion, Kangxi asked him to go to Yonghe Palace to meet his mother-in-law.

Umalu almost didn't recognize him in a blink of an eye.

Dark and thin, but less of the depression of being pampered in the Forbidden City.Talk and act like an adult.

In front of her, she became a child again.

After Yinzhen finished the salute, he sat next to Umalu and looked at her for a while: "I think Er Niang is tight, Er Niang is still as good-looking as before."

Umalu smiled and said, "You are the one who is slippery."

She said: "Your fourth brother is going to the palace to pay his respects today, you two should accompany me to have dinner together."

Yinzhen said with a dark face and unhappy: "I don't want to see the fourth brother."

"what happened?"

"I am marching and fighting outside, and Amador has rewards. Ninth Brother has sent people to send money to me several times, totaling tens of thousands of taels."

He said angrily: "When I passed away, Brother Nine even sent someone to send nine gold utensils, worth about [-] taels of silver."

He said displeased: "I'm not saying that Brother Si will give me some precious things, but it's not like I don't have nothing."

Umalu didn't take sides, he just said: "When he comes, you can ask him yourself."

After meeting with Kangxi today, Yinzhen came to Yonghe Palace to pay his respects, and when he saw Yinzhen was there, he greeted him.

Yinzhen reluctantly returned the gift.

As if Umalu hadn't seen him, he chatted with Yinzhen for a few words, asked about the affairs of Prince Yong's residence, and greeted the two of them for dinner.

Kangxi also came to join in the fun. Seeing that half of the table was Yinzhen's favorite food and half was Yinzhen's favorite food, he couldn't help but look at Umalu with a sullen face.

Umalu was not afraid, and even said quite confidently: "The emperor said earlier that he would come, and I will definitely ask the small kitchen to make two more dishes that the emperor likes to eat."

Kangxi pretended not to hear, and had dinner with several people.

With Kangxi around, Yinzhen did nothing wrong.

After Kangxi stayed for a while and left, Yinzhen insisted on sitting next to Umalu, crying to Umalu, "Look at the fourth brother, he is like this all day long, and he doesn't even show a smile when he eats with us." , I don’t know how much he doesn’t want to meet us.”

Umalu smiled and patted: "You are fine."

She laughed with Yinzhen: "Since he went out, you didn't send him anything, and you talked about it unhappy all day."

Yinzhen said sourly: "If Thirteen goes, he might be so nervous."

Looking at this scene, Yinzhen felt a little sour in his heart.

After Empress Xiaoyi passed away, he lost his mother.

Erniang was only fourteen's Erniang, she would never talk to him so intimately, let alone turn towards him while talking.

He couldn't stand for almost a moment.

However, he insisted and explained: "The fourteenth brother is marching and fighting outside, holding the military power in his hands, so he must be more cautious in his words and deeds, and there must be no mistakes or omissions, so as not to arouse suspicion, or the courtiers will take the blame."

Yinzhen sneered and said, "Emiang, you see, he still has so much to say."

Umalu patted him again: "Okay, you don't know what's good or bad for a day. What your fourth brother said is unreasonable. You are such a big man, you still need to learn from your fourth brother in dealing with people."

Yinzhen refused to obey: "Emiang only likes the fourth brother, and she looks towards the fourth brother in everything. She doesn't like me. I don't follow."

"I don't agree." He groaned.

Umalu looked at this bastard, and smiled helplessly: "You, you are such an old man, and the children are married, why are you still hugging Erniang and acting like a spoiled child? It's alright, alright, go back, you Fujin still waiting for you."

She sent Yinzhen and Yinzhen away.

Yinzhen went out of the palace gate, snorted coldly, and got into the carriage sent by Yinzhen who came to pick him up.

Xu Zhen watched the carriage drive away, shook his head helplessly, and got into his own carriage.

In Prince Yong's Mansion, Yinxiang was sitting in the lobby waiting for him, seeing him coming back, he walked up to him with a crutch: "Fourth brother."

Yinzhen smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

"I think fourth brother, here we come."

Yinzhen pulled him to sit down, and said strangely: "You miss me, just send someone to spread the word. Even if there is a knife in the sky, I will go to see you."

Yinxiang was helped to sit down by him, and looked at his fourth brother with a smile: "Since you think so, why can't I think so? You will come to see me even if you cut a knife. My legs are better, so why can't you come?" See you."

Yinzhen laughed and said, "You."

When he came out of the palace, the gloom he was carrying was gone.

He waved his hand and asked the people below to serve tea and snacks.

When Yinxiang came, Ulanara Jingshu had already served tea and snacks for the people below.

Yinzhen felt that it was not enough at the moment, so let them do more.

His thirteenth brother is the best in the universe.

You can't wrong him.

The two chatted, and then went to the study to talk.

Yinxiang asked: "Where are the fifth and seventh brothers? Haven't you moved around recently?"

Yinzhen nodded: "They are afraid of arousing the suspicion of the emperor, so they haven't been walking outside for a few days."

Yinxiang smiled and said: "I'm glad I don't have a title at the moment. Even if I have been in close contact with the fourth brother, others will not think of anything."

His unintentional words made Yinzhen understand something.

It turned out that the emperor's father didn't confer the thirteenth title at the beginning, and he also had this intention.

Yinxiang smiled and said, "However, I have made an appointment with my younger brothers recently, and I feel that they are also somewhat interesting."

He whispered: "I see that the twelfth brother, the sixteenth brother, and the seventeenth brother, some of them want to join the fourth brother in your name."

Yinzhen took him to the study to discuss, and then said softly: "I know...but the emperor doesn't like forming cliques for personal gain."

Yinzhen reminded him: "When you get together with them, it can be said that the younger brothers love each other. But I must never get involved... At most, I can only get together with them a few times in your presence."

When Yinzhen said this, Yinxiang understood.

Yinxiang smiled and said: "If one day, it's fourth brother you take that position, I won't be surprised at all."

There is no one else who is as cautious and steady as his fourth brother.

Such people are not successful, so who else can be successful?
Yinzhen said lightly: "It's nothing more than thinking more and seeing more."

Sometimes, he would feel that Er Niang treated him better than Fourteen.

But the more he experienced, the more he understood that what Er Niang taught him was enough for him to benefit his whole life.

In the process of a person's growth, there are traces of the people around him.

This is what the folks say, the dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix, and the son of a mouse can make a hole—after all, there are very few people who can truly escape the shackles of those around them.

Er Niang is not an ordinary woman, not only caring about his food and clothing, but also leading his thoughts.

The mother has tried her best.

Therefore, even if Erniang treated him less intimately than Shishi, he couldn't force her.

Yinzhen thought nonchalantly, and looked at Yinxiang: "How are the younger brothers?"

"Just chat about poems and songs, and play with treasures." Yinxiang said with a smile, "I and them, don't discuss the country's affairs."

"That's fine." Yinzhen smiled, "I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you when I'm busy, but now you have something to pass the time, I'm happy for you."

Yinxiang smiled and talked to Yinzhen.

In a certain place, a magistrate was killed by bandits.

The magistrate is still a bit clean, and in the mouth of the local people, he is still a master of Qingtian.

The people gathered together and gossiped.

"There are so many corrupt officials in the world who don't want to be killed, why kill him!"
