Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 150: The military situation fails, the general denies the defeat, and the family relationship suddenly changes, leaving Jun Jin worried
Half a month after Yue Zhongqi left Beijing, the eight-hundred-mile-long Red Flag front line in Koshetu reported victory. The Qing soldiers fought with the Xiaogaldan Mongolian tribe on the banks of the Ye River. They killed 400 enemies, captured two artillery pieces, and lost all their supplies... At this time, Yongzheng had not long recovered from his illness. Zhang Tingyu received the memorial and immediately rushed to Danningju to see him, regardless of the dozen or so officials around him waiting for instructions.

"It's not in vain that I trusted Yue Zhongqi, so I can't do my best for him!" Yong Zheng looked at the fold, his eyes gleaming, and said to Hongli beside him: "You draft a decree for Yue Zhongqi. With him on the Western Front, I will rest assured. Lie high and wait for success! Before the investigation, he was guilty of missing an opportunity, and later he was guilty of beheading a general. He will not be punished for his crime. Ji Chengbin and Fan Ting will give a second-level reward. When Zhun Ge'er's troops come to Beijing, I will I also want to be awarded a title of meritorious official!" He looked much paler and slimmer than before, and his already thin and white hands were even less bloody. They were a little nervous and trembled from time to time, but despite being thin, they were still neatly groomed. , the snow-white horseshoe sleeves were turned inside out, making him look lean and clear.Hongli agreed "yes", wrote a few lines, hesitated again, looked at his father and said, "Shouldn't we use Mingfa? This is actually just a small victory. It seems better to defeat the main force of the enemy and then issue an edict to China and foreign countries." Yongzheng exited. He came to the kang, put on his boots, took a few steps, and asked Zhang Tingyu: "What is Heng Chen's opinion?"

Zhang Tingyu actually just wanted to make Yongzheng happy and came to announce the good news. He also noticed that the narrative in this document was vague and hesitant, so he bowed and said: "The day before yesterday, Ortai reported that the rebel Miao Miao who came to Zhenyuan failed to wipe out all, and fled into the mountains. Guzhou , Taigong area Miao people gathered to burn Kaili County in Duyun Prefecture, and the emperor was not happy. In any case, this is good news, and the slaves came to try to reassure the emperor. Yue Zhongqi's report did not report the losses and casualties of our army, so this 'Victory' cannot be guaranteed without any moisture. I thought the fourth master was saying that it would be better to send them out secretly."

"No." Yong Zheng was silent for a long time and said with a smile, "I can see what you said, but the turmoil in the southwest is fierce, and Ertai doesn't seem to have much to do. We need to encourage him; Yue Zhongqi's Jing Te Lei is like this No matter how hard you work, your morale will not rise; you can use this to urge you to keep up the good work. This is what I am thinking, not to whitewash the peace." When Hongli heard that the emperor had made up his mind, he stopped talking and wrote quickly, writing the edict. Well written.Zhang Tingyu hurriedly came over and forwarded it to Yongzheng himself.

Zhang Tingyu yesterday forwarded a report about Li Hansan's impeachment of Yu Hongtu, the governor of the capital, for overspending and bribery. Just as he was about to ask Yongzheng if he had read it, Gao Wuyong carefully presented it with a pill on a plate. Qin Meimei hurriedly poured it into the silver bottle. A glass of warm water is served.Zhang Tingyu saw that the elixir was as red as cinnabar and as big as a broad bean. He knew that it was the elixir refined by Lou Shiyuan. He couldn't help sighing and said: "Your Majesty, Lou Shiyuan has the ability to exorcise ghosts and healed the dragon's body. I will reward him for returning to the mountain." . This slave knows that this kind of medicine is the most overbearing and irritating, so it must not be taken regularly... Your Majesty, let me tell you something taboo. When I saw this medicine, my slave couldn't help but think of the 'Red Pill Case' in the previous Ming Dynasty..." He lowered his head and said no more. Hongli smiled apologetically and said, "Amma, I'd better use the heat-reducing powder prepared by Taiyuan Hospital. Although the effect is slow, it is beneficial and not harmful."

"I don't use it every day." Yongzheng and Shui swallowed the medicine and said, "This medicine is not prepared by Lou Shiyuan, but it is the secret elixir of Baiyun Temple, which has been commonly used by Taoist priests for hundreds of years. It contains Baicao Shuang. It does have the effect of clearing away heat. Lou Shiyuan actually advised me not to use these medicines. Don't worry, this pill is originally about the size of a walnut. How many people have tasted it before I use it." Zhang Tingyu also said, Yongzheng smiled and said: "Don't advise. Come on, you want to imitate Sun Jiagan and pick on me, aren’t you? I won’t use this medicine in the future, is it possible?”

This sentence made both of them laugh, and Hongli said: "This time Ama is not in good health, which really frightened my son. At that time, my son made a wish, and Ama recovered from his illness, and asked for an order to stop fighting for one year. Are you happy today? , just tell him and ask for judgment." Zhang Tingyu also said: "The emperor has been in power for nearly ten years, so it's okay to stop for one year."

"This is your loyalty and filial piety. Whether you are happy or not, I will consider it." Yong Zheng frowned slightly and smiled as if he was losing himself. "My usage is severe because the situation has to be like this. You know it, so just stop." Years. However, there are two types of people I will not spare. One is like Wang Laowu from Shandong, who raises flags and fires firecrackers to oppose the imperial court; the other is like Yu Hongtu, who receives undue favor from me in the imperial court and is not afraid of criminal law. The corrupt officials who accepted bribes and those who deserved to be killed were ordered to be executed immediately. This is not considered an autumn execution, but it also conforms to the murderous atmosphere of heaven and earth. What do you think?"

Zhang Tingyu sighed in silence: "Yu Hongtu never wants something like this to happen again. He is such a talent! The people on the river are very attentive in running errands... But the amount he swallowed was too big, and he cannot be punished with a suspended sentence. I will go to Zijin After assisting Chen Huang in Jackie Chan, there are not many decent people who can take on the responsibility of river affairs, which I feel very sorry for." Hongli also looked sad and said: "He actually looks like a nouveau riche. I talked to him before going to Sichuan. You have to learn to be like Li Hansan, who learns from each experience, but it is so disappointing - although he did not take bribes in Sichuan, he still accepted gifts after doing things for others."

"I have thought about Yu Hongtu's case over and over again." Yong Zheng said with great difficulty with an expression of regret that could not be concealed: "The fact that the world's officialdom is what it is today is the result of my decades of unremitting efforts and deeds. . It is easier to lose a family than to build one. How can you say anything if you spare him and others do the same? Kill him... No need to hesitate. We can still recruit talents slowly." Yongzheng said, suddenly thinking of Yunhu and Tie. The Hat King made a big fuss in the Qianqing Palace. Yu Hongtu stood up and spoke impassionedly about the past. He couldn't help feeling sad, but he waved his hand and said, "Continue to talk about whatever you have to do. I'm tired, so I'm going to the West Side Hall to rest for a while."

A fire had been lit in Qiao Yindi's palace, and when the cool late autumn breeze came in, Yong Zheng felt that his whole body was warm.Yin Dizheng and several palace officials were very particular about weaving the "Xuan Ji Tu" stitch. When they saw him coming, they took off their coats and hurriedly came over to wait on him. They said with a smile: "The emperor has not been here for five or six days. I am in a good mood today! Over there at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I've brought a few stone chickens and they've just been cooked over the fire. When you're tired, lean over and rest. When they're cooked, I'll call you." Yong Zheng smiled, pinched her cheek, and said, "It's better to pretend to be a man. The more you behave, the better. It's beautiful. I haven't been here for a few days - I'm with the Queen and the Li family and the Geng family, so they have to socialize, right?" Yindi blushed and said, "I'm not jealous! I think it's Zhang Taixu. What happened to the elixir that Wang Ding and the others made... You have never been so 'dragon-horse-spirited' before. Sometimes several times a night..."

"How many times? How many times?"

...Yong Zheng sat by the kang and held her in his arms, stroking her glossy black hair, and said with a smile: "The imperial concubine who has no son will not be able to eat for a long time. Isn't it for you? It's not all elixirs. Maybe the medicine is It's effective, I feel a little more relaxed these days. Yue Zhongqi and the Ortai military transfer envoy have been completed, and I need to relax more." Yindi listened, rubbed the corners of her clothes, and said after a long time:
"emperor……"

"Well."

"Why do you treat me so well?"

"I can't tell."

"People say that the untouchable woman you were in love with when you were young." Yindi smiled and said, "For this reason, you also specially issued an order to get rid of the untouchable status, right?"

Yongzheng gently let go of Yindi, nodded and said: "Yes, people are born into the world, and there is no distinction between high and low. If you do not behave in an elegant way, you will become an untouchable. Therefore, I have issued an order to expel Yindi to give the leaders here some hope. An opportunity to advance." He was obviously reminded of the past by Yindi's words. He slowly stood up and walked around, looking at the clear autumn sky outside, and said: "It's hard for you to imagine how tragic that kind of thing is! ... Dozens of strong men piled up a mountain of firewood and tied her to the west branch of an old persimmon tree. The mountain of firewood was poured with clear oil and crackled and burned. That night was also in this season, so dark and cold! He was lying in the green gauze tent not far away, watching her being burned alive. The flames were so red, like blood, and the hair was so black, like crows... She just twisted in pain and stared into the distance. Place. Until death, not a single groan, not a word! Alas, more than 20 years have passed..."

This was the second time Qiao Yindi heard Yong Zheng tell this story, and she was still so stunned by his demeanor that her heart twisted into a ball.She understood that it was because she looked so cool and similar to Xiaofu that she attracted Yongzheng to be so infatuated with her. She couldn't help but feel moved in her heart, because she said: "It's over a long time ago. Your Majesty, don't worry about this matter. If you think about it again, she can survive." Are you coming? I have good news for you. The Eshan you sent to work at Yue Zhongqi’s camp found out about my mother in Shanxi. The chief envoy in Shanxi is called——" Yong Zheng looked at her with concern and said : "My name is Kaljishan." "Yes, Kaljishan. He has secretly sent someone to Dingxiang to prove it. Once confirmed, he will send it to Beijing." Yindi smiled happily and said, "I I don’t have much money saved, so can the emperor give her a little more so that she can relax for a few years. Her life will not be easy."

"It's not a big deal." Yong Zheng said with a smile, "There is a nice house east of the Old Summer Palace. If you reward your mother, it will be easy to meet her."

But the Dingxiang family named Qiao was not what Yindi was looking for.

Qiao Yindi had an older brother, and that family had a son, but he was much younger than Yindi, so he was definitely not from Yindi's family.However, Kaljishan knew that the emperor had such relatives in Shanxi, so he made up his mind to find out even the Luliang Mountains in the Taihang Mountains.In two consecutive years, he found fifteen "Dingxiang Qiao's families", all of whom had lived in Qiao'ao and had a missing daughter named "Qiao Yindi".At this time, Kaljishan had been promoted to the governor of Shanxi. He learned that Yindi had been promoted to a concubine, so he was not afraid of trouble. Every time he found a family named "Qiao Benshan", he listed his resume in detail and sent it directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs by his slave. Empress Qiao".The changes in the world and the changes in human relationships led to Di. At first, each family gave a little money, but later when they saw nest after nest of "mother's families" emerging one after another, they didn't dare to "encourage" them any more.During this period, several major events occurred in the court. The victory reported by Yue Zhongqi's troops in Koshetu turned out to be fake.Jungar's 2 troops attacked the camp and plundered 10,000+ livestock.Zha Lin fled and asked for help from the general Cao Xiang. Cao rushed out to fight and returned in defeat with the loss of three thousand soldiers.Fan Ting, Zhang Yuan, Zuo Ye and Daxiong fought against each other to the death, and they finally recaptured the cattle, sheep and baggage that the enemy had stolen.The soldiers suffered more casualties than the enemy, and the spoils they "won" were originally lost by themselves. The battle was extremely useless.However, there was an imperial edict in front of Yongzheng to praise him. Since he was angry, Yue Zhongqi refused to report victory after defeat, so he had to break his front teeth and swallow blood.The situation in the southwest was similar to that in the northwest. Even though Ertai was so tired that he vomited blood, he finally couldn't control the collapse.The Zhenyuan uprising failed to be suppressed, and another "Miao king" emerged. Using Guzhou and Taigong as strongholds, he captured Huangping City in Zhenyuan Prefecture, burned Kaili in Duyun Prefecture, besieged Danjiang Hall, and rebelled with hundreds of thousands of people. The whole province was corrupted, and the provincial capital of Guiyang was put under martial law.Yongzheng was so angry that he could not sleep or eat for several months. He appointed Zhang Zhao, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, as the minister of the Miao border. He removed the Earl of Ortai and ordered him to return to Beijing to "recuperate". He appointed Yunli, Hongli, Hongzhou, Zhang Tingyu, and the Minister of the Ministry of Households. Qingfu advocated handling Miao border affairs.Planning on Yue Zhongqi's victory on the Western Front, he would mobilize his troops south to Yunnan and Guizhou, and completely crush the rebel Miao village... Yindi didn't pay much attention to these things. As her position became more and more noble, she missed her parents even more, so she simply asked someone to bring a letter to them. Li Wei inquired whether his mother's family members were living in other provinces.It was not until June of the 13th year of Yongzheng's reign that we finally had information.It was the same perseverant Kaljishan who actually found Yindi's mother, Qiao Heishi, in a poor mountain valley in Datong. The situation introduced by Yindi was perfectly consistent, except that her father, Qiao Benshan, had been dead for five years.Kaljishan was afraid that he would be flattered by the wrong person, so he made a special trip from Dingxiang to bring Qiao Benshan's brothers to confirm the agreement. He also painted a small portrait of Qiao Hei and presented it to Yindi, and also brought Qiao Hei's portrait to Yindi. A package of tokens was handed over to Gao Wuyong from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Now that Yindi's status is not what it used to be, Gao Wuyong didn't dare to be negligent. He immediately rushed to the west side hall of Dan Ningju, stepped through the door and said with a smile: "Master Yi, there is another letter from Ka Zhongcheng. This time We are almost sure to find the old lady!"

"Really?" Yindi was playing divination with cards. She got up and came over. While reading Kalgishan's letter to Eshan, she asked, "Where is the emperor right now? Why haven't you come to see him for two or three days?" Did you?" Gao Wuyong looked at her face and said with an apologetic smile: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Li, has a bit of phlegm. The master went over to take a look. She stayed at Danning House last night. Just after summoning Li Wei, the emperor's face showed some signs of phlegm. Congratulations. It is said that Li Zhitai captured a senior brother of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong named Wang Laowu and personally escorted him to Beijing. The bandits gathered in Jiangxi were also dispersed by Mr. Li. ..." "Yizhihua, what a good name." Yindi put down the letter casually, unwrapped the rolled picture, and asked with a smile: "Is it a woman?"

Gao Wuyong also smiled and said: "Yes. Yi Zhi Hua is from Tongbai Mountain. I don't know where I cultivated the Taoist practice. I can soar in the clouds and mist and scatter beans to form soldiers. Last time, Prince Bao also said that he would go to Luo Xiao Mountain to capture her alive and have a look. What kind of goblin is it..." Yindi laughed while listening and had already unfolded the painting.She looked very carefully, caressing her head to toe slowly, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking her head. Gao Wuyong looked at her and said with a smile, "She looks a bit like a queen between her eyebrows! But her cheekbones seem a little higher..."

"There is a small mole under my chin. You can't see it when you lower your head." Yindi stared at the painting, with a mix of joy and sadness on her face. "Maybe the painter didn't pay attention. Alas! That's right - my mother sews and washes for others. My clothes, my fingers were frozen and I couldn’t straighten my left middle finger, and this woman... her fingers were also crooked!" She hurriedly opened the package of "tokens" again, and suddenly there was a bang in her heart, and she sat down softly!Qia Yongzheng came in through the curtain at this moment, and just as he opened his mouth to ask, Yin Di stood up and rushed over, tightly holding Yongzheng's arm and said excitedly and eagerly: "Mother - it's mother! Master, I have found my mother! Long live "Look, sir, this is half a silver hairpin... I was pitiful when I went to Jiangnan. My family didn't have a penny when I set out on the road. My mother pulled out this hairpin and gave it to me..." Her tears flowed silently, "...I said , I went to learn a craft with someone, and had food and clothing. I broke this hairpin in half and left it as a thought to our mother and daughter... in case I got sick and died outside... it can be regarded as an object given by my mother. Stay with me..." As he spoke, he broke down in tears.

Yong Zheng looked at the pictures and letters on the table, and he understood something about it in his heart. He was also happy for her, and said with a smile: "Don't cry, this is a happy event! Now that I have identified it, I asked Shanxi to send her to Beijing properly." , it will take ten and a half days to go back and forth, and you will definitely be able to meet!" Yindi pulled Yongzheng over with one hand, pointed at the painting with a hairpin, and told Yongzheng point by point, "Look, Your Majesty, this eye pattern, when I remember it, There is, and there is this birthmark, which is tilted to the side of the face, and the painter only painted a small half of it. ...Only the hair is white, and the right side is also sparse... How can a person not change at all when he gets old? Can you please Look..." She was talking and laughing, and she was so excited that she couldn't breathe. Yong Zheng saw the broken hairpin in her hand and asked with a smile: "What is that?"

"This is the token that my mother gave to my mother when we broke up." Yindi looked at the hairpin again before handing it to Yong Zheng, "The hairpin is a gift for collecting flowers as one wishes...it was given to my mother by my father..."

Yongzheng held the half-branch of silver hairpin and saw that the tail of the hairpin was about three inches long.The tip of the hairpin has been smoothed and polished, just like a stick with an ear. Due to the passage of time, the precious color of the hairpin body has faded, leaving it shiny black.He rubbed it gently with his fingers and slowly saw the dragon-shaped pattern on it clearly.Suddenly, Yong Zheng felt as if he had received an electric shock. His hand trembled, and the hairpin fell to the ground with a "ding"!Yong Zheng hurriedly picked it up again, turned it over and over, and looked at it carefully. His face had lost its joy, and he was surprised and confused. When he saw Yindi looking at him in confusion, he asked, "This hairpin looks like a big one." Made...is it passed down from your family?"

"I don't know." Qiao Yindi frowned in thought and murmured, "Dad gave it to mother." "What's your... mother's surname?"

"The surname is Hei."

Yongzheng's body was shaken, his legs became weak, and he asked again: "Is she from Shanxi?" "No." Yindi shook her head in confusion and said, "She came from other places to escape famine."

"Where is it?"

"do not know."

"Can she sing or play the piano?"

"I've never heard her sing or play." Qiao Yindi stared at Yongzheng strangely, "Your Majesty, why do you ask these questions?"

Yongzheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's nothing. I just saw that you can play chess and sing, so I thought you were your mother's tutor." Yindi smiled suddenly and used a silver spoon to mix a small bowl of rock sugar and tremella soup. To Yongzheng, he said: "That's not worth asking in such a serious manner! I learned these few singing lines in Jiangnan for a few days, and then -" She suddenly paused, and all her later piano, chess and chess skills were all from Yun Zai Malingyu Prison taught me how to do it.Yin changed his words and said: "Later on, I practiced it by fumbling around when I had nothing to do. My voice has been bad in the past two years, so I gave up my hands long ago. However, I still have a dozen chess pieces to play. When the master is free, I will wait on you and play two more games..."

"Well, good."

Yongzheng drank the bowl of white fungus soup, his face blank, he was just in a daze, and he hummed indifferently.After sitting for a while, I felt that my heart was empty and white, and I couldn't think of anything. I stood up and said with a smile: "There are a lot of things these days, and I am not in the mood. Please play a few games with me when you have some free time to see if you have made any progress. I still want to I'm going to meet someone to approve the dumplings, and I'll see you later. This white fungus soup is very good. You also often have lung heat and cough, so you need to use more..." He forced a smile, and then said: "Let me know when your mother is here. It depends on what kind of woman she is, who can give birth to a daughter as handsome as you." After that.

When Yongzheng returned to Danning Residence, he felt uneasy in his heart. Seeing Li Wei, Zhang Tingyu, and Fang Baozheng discussing matters with Hongli, he asked, "Is there something going on in Miao territory again?" When the three people saw him coming in, they hurriedly knelt down. Li slowly stood up and said: "Zhang Zhao's memorial has arrived. He just went there and won a small victory, wiping out five or six hundred enemies. He said that he would give it to his master to be at ease. There is also Yue Zhongqi's memorial, please ask the emperor to see it. Prince Pingjun It's a court letter to the Military Aircraft Department, saying that Xie Jishi is on duty in the army and is ill. Please ask your son to report on his behalf. Can he be freed and released? A foreign minister." Yongzheng calmed down, took a stack of memorials, and said while reading: "Xie Jishi is not bad at learning, and Fu Peng's face is also important." When he moved one to read, it was from Huang Yong of the Ministry of Works. , because he was the "minister", people called him Chuan Yin and called him "weasel". Because he thought it was indecent, he asked for an order to change his position to another foreign minister.Yongzheng threw it to Hongli and said with a smile: "The weasel not only eats chickens, but also rats. It's always because he has no self-respect that others are presumptuous. This is not allowed." I saw another one from Cai Yuqing, the Minister of Rites, and said that he had invited a few A fortune-teller told me that this year would be unfavorable and that it would be inappropriate to leave the capital. He requested that "the emperor be careful and avoid serving ministers on foreign missions."Yong Zheng tilted his head to think about it and said, "Hongli will handle this job according to his discretion. Just don't send him on a foreign mission."

"Yes!" Hongli took the memorial and said with an apologetic smile: "Yue Zhongqi submitted a petition to plead guilty and made sixteen suggestions. Please set up farming in Turpan and set up outposts between Hami and Turpan as a plan for a protracted war..."

Yongzheng put aside Yue Zhongqi's statement without even looking at it, and said angrily: "You gave him permission to take back [-] warriors from the former enemy, and suffered repeated setbacks in battles. Isn't it the crime of a general? In the past, he advocated to 'drive straight in' , today he said that taking a defensive position is a "protracted war strategy", without calculating how much food and grass will be consumed in the rear? How can we guarantee victory if we are so sticky and have to endure life and death? - No, continue to refute it! " He took Zhang Zhao's memorial again, looked at it back and forth, and added his own comments on it:
If you live up to my kindness, I can trust you.The Miao Dynasty in Guizhou Province has become a trend of erosion. However, after all, it is not necessary to think deeply about such things as a sudden jump. It is not difficult to calmly gather the military strength and coordinate the efforts of various ministries to restore Xu Tu.Soldiers are fierce, and war is dangerous. Don't just take it lightly as a matter of articles and poems. I have high hopes for you every day.

After writing it, he handed it to Hongli and said: "Zhang Zhao, a literary man, thinks that fighting is too easy. Please take a closer look at it and discuss it with your seventeenth uncle if you don't understand anything."

"My son obeys the order."

Hongli took the memorial with both hands and moved his lips.Yunli was also a prince who had never fought in actual combat. He really wanted to ask for advice from his fourteenth uncle Yun, but since Yindi was promoted to concubine, Yun had already resigned from Dumen and was separated from Yongzheng again. After thinking about it, he did not dare to speak and swallowed. Kushu sat down.When Yongzheng saw that Li Wei was about to resign, he asked, "Are you staying away from Beijing these days?"

"It's too hot. I was not in a hurry to leave," Li Wei said with a smile. "Jishan wrote a letter saying that this year's flood season in the Yangtze River will be long and the water volume will be large. He is afraid that the embankments in some places in eastern Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not safe, so he wants to inspect the lower reaches. , someone needs to sit guard in Nanjing, please ask me to go back to the Governor's Yamen to take care of things. I haven't replied to him yet, Nanjing is as hot as a furnace now, I want to wait for two days, but I think there are still many things waiting for Shandong and Anhui water transportation. For cooking, I have asked Prince Bao just now. I want to walk slowly and do errands along the way. The weather will be cool when we arrive in Nanjing. There is a slave's selfish intention in this, and I don't dare to report it to my old master!"

Yongzheng saw that there were eunuchs on his left and right, and there were several ministers waiting to receive him outside the door, so he stood up and said, "Follow me, go to the back room to talk." After saying that, he got up and got off the kang, and walked northwest through the hall.

"Yes." Li Wei agreed, gave Hongli another thousand dollars, followed Yongzheng to the northwest back corridor, and sat down in a larger suite at the north end of the backyard.He didn’t know how many times he had been to Dan Ning Ju, but this was the first time he returned to this place. He saw many maids hanging clothes outside the courtyard, and a few eunuchs carrying buckets of water coming and going. He asked: "Master, this is Where?"

While she was talking, Qin Meimei came in with a large plate of ice watermelon, and two more eunuchs placed two small basins of ice beside Yong Zheng and then stepped back solemnly.Yongzheng then smiled and said: "This was the residence of Concubine Yi. When I was tired of doing things at the front, I would come here to rest occasionally. The people living there were palace people." He took a piece of melon, took a small bite, and put it on the plate. He pushed Li Wei and said, "This melon is very good, but it's too cold. You can use one piece." Li Wei thanked him hurriedly, took a bite, and said, "It's really good. I will encounter this when I am young." , I have to eat to make my stomach full. Now that the stomach qi is gone, I will allow you to use it slowly..."

"I called you here because I am worried and doubtful about one thing - your dog turns out to know the details of this matter." Yongzheng seemed to be embarrassed to say it, and said slowly: "You are the person who was sent from my vassal residence. I'm always smart and well-spoken. Let me tell you, think about it for me and come up with an idea." After saying that, he sighed and told the story of Qiao Yindi's relationship with him, and then said, "How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Two hairpins with ear spoons were made exactly the same? But his mother also had the same surname as Xiaofu, 'Hei'! What I'm even more afraid of is that Yindi's age also matches this story, just in case..." At this point, Yongzheng said Li Wei was silent, "How can that be good?" "Your Majesty, Xiaofu was burned to death!" Li Wei was shocked and said hurriedly: "Why did you think of other superiors?" "I have been doing this for a long time. That's what I thought." Yong Zheng said with deep worry, "Don't forget that there is Xiao Lu, who is a twin to Xiao Fu and looks the same! It was Xiao Lu who was burned to death - this idea becomes more true the more I think about it!"

Li Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed the watermelon with the seeds in his mouth. He was in this story. He had gone to look for Xiaofu with Yongzheng back then, but he didn't expect that he would show up again more than 20 years later, and he would pose a big problem for him. Himself - if it is confirmed that Xiaofu is Qiao Yindi's mother, then Yindi is Yongzheng's... This reality is so terrible, even though Li Weidi is so clever and clever, a layer of sweat breaks out on his head.He didn't dare to think along this line of thought, but he couldn't get around this terrible train of thought. He lowered his head and thought for a long time and said, "Qiao Hei has remarried. Maybe Yindi's surname is Qiao!"

"Everything is really over. I'm just afraid it's my evil seed. How wonderful is this!"

"Long live," Li Wei said, "No way! You forgot, we stayed at Heifeng Huangshui Inn, and Boss Ma said, 'He's a big fat boy.'" Yong Zheng shook his head and said, "I remembered that Boss Ma himself He is just a thief, what if he perverts us?" Li Wei was dumbfounded and was stunned for a long time, then said: "This slave said some ignorant words. You can only pretend to be confused about this matter, and you must not get into trouble. The clearer you are, the more you will feel. No. If you don't meet with that Qiao Hei and prove this matter, then Yindi won't know, and neither will Qiao Hei." He finally found a way, and his speech became much smarter. "It may not be true that Master Yi is the real one. Even if it is true, it is also an unintentional coincidence. Those who do not know are not guilty. The whole brocade has been covered up - isn't it just a few decades for a person? As for the slave, keep your mouth shut until death. I would never think that way or say anything to others carelessly.”

But Yongzheng was a man who liked to get into trouble.In theory, I feel that Li Wei is right, but the dark clouds in my heart cannot be dispelled. I think of studying with Zhu Shi when I was a child, and talking about the Spring and Autumn Qi, Wen and Jiang brother and sister.
