Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 43
After Wu Sidao dissected the messy Chao Bureau, it immediately became clear.Yin, who had been anxious for many days, suddenly relaxed and slept until three o'clock in the morning. While getting dressed, he complained to Nian who was waiting next to him: "When did I get up so late? I told you that I would go to Zhuzhou today. Mr. Qian, isn't it a mistake? You have been in the house all these years and you don't understand my rules!" Nian smiled apologetically and tied the ribbon for him, saying, "Master, you have wronged me. Last night you came in and said, today My son is about to sleep soundly, do I dare to disturb him? Besides, Fujin also has something to say. The prince has been restless these days, so he has to find some way to comfort him and ask him to have a good rest. An official named Wang has just arrived from the Ministry of Household Affairs. , asked the prince when he would go to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and whether they wanted to wait for the prince. I saw that the master was sleeping soundly, so I asked Zhou Yongcheng to send him away." Yin was gargling, spitting water into the basin, and asked: "How do you send him away? of?"

"I said the lord went to the palace early in the morning. Today is Empress De's Christmas. I'm afraid I won't be able to come down before noon." Nian said with a smile. Fourth master must go to the ministry when he comes out of the palace."

A word reminded Yin that today, November 23rd, was not the birthday of his biological mother, Concubine De Gui, Wu Yashi?I've always been so dizzy that I completely forgot about it!Fang was startled for a moment and said: "Have you sent the birthday gift? I was still thinking about it at night. The empress loves Hui Xiu the most. She has asked your brother to buy it for a long time. It has not had any impact so far. The servants are becoming more and more careless in running errands. Yes!" Nian knew that he had forgotten. Seeing that her brother was being picky, she blushed and didn't dare to reply.Just as he was talking, Fujin opened the curtain and came in. Yin then said: "Ask someone to get me some food. If you go in a little, I have to enter the palace quickly!" Fujin said with a smile: "There is no need to rush. The gift will be sent in the day before yesterday. Well, yesterday I took the Nians and sons in to see her. The empress was very happy! She said that whether she was filial or not, it was not about these false gifts. The Fourth Master and the Fourteenth Master showed his face to her, and studied and worked with sincerity. It’s joyful even if you’re not polite.”

"Yes!" After hearing what her mother said, Yin hurriedly bowed and agreed, and then said: "You are more thoughtful than me. But it is not good for me to go to see the empress empty-handed. I brought six baskets of goat's milk and mandarin oranges sent by Gengyao. There are also twelve jars of wine dates that the empress likes to use!" Nian said hurriedly: "Just now, my master told me about Hui Xiu. I also have a "Xuanji Picture" there, which was originally prepared to celebrate my master's birthday - Si Bian'er He still has a lot of words in his head. Since the empress likes to see her, she can go in as a birthday gift and then write to Nian Gengyao and ask him to find another master. Isn't this the best of both worlds?" Yin became happy and laughed at what they said. He said, "What's the big deal if I live or die? Very good, that's all!" Then he started to eat.Fujin saw that his face was calm and he spoke slowly: "Yesterday, a few minions were playing cards at the door, which violated your rules. Gao Fu'er withdrew his servants as soon as he came back. I don't know how you are going to punish him? I heard a few The servants were so frightened that they couldn't even eat. Besides, Gao Fuler's nephew was also among them. According to me, you have to give up and let them go for once." Yin raised his face and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "It seems I have too many things to do. According to me, these murderers are not as good as Lu Lu’s dog. They should all be punished by Zhuangzi! Since you are asking for mercy, I will simply ignore these things from now on, except for the study room and the stick-sticking place. This is the right thing to do with your own people. Just remember one thing: it’s hard to raise a villain. It’s better to be stricter and keep your inner words out and your outer words out. This is the way to live in peace. In the current situation, my spirit is also at a loss. If you can't take care of the house, you should worry more."

Just as he was talking, the parrot jumped in the cage on the corridor and called out: "We have a guest, Cuiping picks up the curtain!" Then someone outside the door laughed and said: "This bird has eyes, how does it know that I am a guest?" The curtain flashed. , but it was the fourteenth elder brother Yin, wearing a golden dragon robe and a dongzhu crown, who came over and frightened Nian into hurriedly entering the inner room.Yin held a Xiang Fei bamboo fan in his hand, arched it towards Yin and Fujin, and said with a smile: "Good luck to fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law! Fourth brother doesn't eat until this morning or evening?"

"Sit, sit!" Yin smiled and tapped the seat in front of him with his chopsticks, "Just sit down, I'll finish my meal right away, let's go in together - Mr. Nian, the Fourteenth Master is not an outsider, please hurry up What are you hiding from? Make tea!" While pouring the Xue Lihong from the plate into the bowl, he stirred the rice and ate it.

Seeing that his diet was so monotonous, he picked up a few grains of rice sprinkled on the table and ate them with chopsticks, and then rinsed them with plain water to drink. He laughed beside him and said, "Uncle Fourteen, you haven't come to my door for a few days. Just now your brother said that he asked you to go in after dinner to pay respects to your mother's birthday! No need for your mother to think about it, and your brothers and sisters are also born. separated."

This sentence made Yin panic. It turned out that he had forgotten even more than Yin!Qiang calmly took a sip of tea, Yin already had an idea, and said with a smile: "That's why I came to ask my sister-in-law for help. I'll have someone go out to handle the empress' birthday gift in the fall. It's a 'Ying' There is also a Jade Guanyin in the picture of Zhou Jiulao playing chess. The Jade Guanyin was just shipped from Yunnan yesterday. It is as big as a real person and is in good condition. It is a pity that the road was bumpy and the jade hair on her arms was a big patch. After pondering over and over again, I can only invite the Guanyin that my sister-in-law worships at home to be sent in first, and later invite my statue to my sister-in-law. Is this possible? Even if the fourth brother and sister-in-law fulfill their filial piety as brothers, you will not suffer any loss... Yin had already finished his meal, stood up and said with a smile: "Brother, what can you say? I'm afraid you may not have prepared longevity noodles, but I have prepared two hundred catties of silver silk hangings and sent them in together. We each give one hundred." Jin, how about it?" Yin happily stood up and bowed, and said: "Thank you, fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law, this is more thoughtful." After saying that, he and Yin walked out of Yonghe Palace hand in hand, and Yin ordered his entourage: "Go back to the house and put the gold-encrusted frame on it. The screen with the picture of the Nine Elders playing chess was carried to the Changchun Palace to celebrate the birthday of the empress. Tell your family that the fourth master and I have already gone in together!"

"Old Fourteen," Yin got on the horse, held the bridle in one hand, looked back at Yin, and said, "You didn't just come to see me to celebrate your birthday in the palace, right?" Yin rode away on the horse, seeming a little bit Absentmindedly, he said after a long time: "Yes. I was anxious and wanted to talk to my fourth brother. I didn't do errands at first, so I stood on the dry bank and watched you do errands. I thought it was normal. It was only after I took charge of the Ministry of War that I realized that the person who did the errands was in the thorn nest. Here, others still look glamorous! During the Western Expedition, Long Live Lord set up a grain depot in Yulin, which still contained 40 stones of grain. Yulin City is now different from what it used to be. The sand dunes outside the city are almost level with the city wall. When a sandstorm passes, people in the city have to dig up the sand before they can get out. What will happen in the long run? I want to clear the sand outside the city. The Ministry of War said it was a matter for the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Household said it was a matter for the Ministry of Works. The Ministry of Works said There are no ordinary people in Yulin anymore, only soldiers are stationed there, so it is a matter of the Ministry of War! I think I have to come to you to discuss and come up with a solution." Yin was stunned and said: "I heard Ma Qi say this. Yes. Since there is a sandstorm and there are no people in the city. I heard that sometimes even the wells are submerged, why not just move them out and move the grain depots? How much trouble can be saved!"

Yin smiled and shook his head and said: "The Yulin grain depot cannot be evacuated. If the army goes west in the future, it will be a big deal if there is no military food support here. Before Lao Shisan's accident, the two of us were at a loss on the Mutu sand table. How many times have I searched, but I can't find a place that can replace it! I heard that setting up a health department and a grain depot here was the suggestion of General Zhou Peigong. All the famous generals of the Xi Dynasty left one by one, and there were fewer and fewer who could fight. ..." He sighed and said with emotion, "Among the brothers, only the Thirteenth Brother knows military skills. When something happens to him, I don't even have a confidant with whom I can discuss matters - Fourth Brother, you are the most important. Brother Thirteen is always the best friend of those who are brave and courageous. Can't you keep him safe?" Yin's eyes jumped and he quickly glanced at Yin. Yin was startled for a moment and smiled: "Why do you look at me like this? You You must be thinking, what happened to this 'Baye Party' today? Is Brother Baoqi Thirteen here? In fact, God knows what kind of Party I am! I am myself, and I act according to my heart!"

"Well..." Yin smiled at what he said, and a thought suddenly flashed through him: Could it be that this bold brother also guessed the emperor's true intention of not establishing a prince, and wanted to set up his own business and ask himself to be his helper?Yin tentatively said: "I'm afraid I'll be the only one to protect you. If I add you and get Lao Ba and the others to protect me together, I'm afraid we can protect him!" Yin said with a smile: "Ask Brother Ba to protect Brother Thirteen, then. He is seeking the skin of a tiger, and he wishes that Thirteenth Brother was dead! If Fourth Brother dares not to start, I will take out the insurance first, and if Long Live is alive, you will come next. If even I am in bad luck, Fourth Brother, you Keep me a copy, I feel so loved!" Yin smiled and said: "Do you really think I am timid? To tell you the truth, the secret book for Brother Thirteen has been uploaded for a long time, and I am the only one who has the copy!"

A look of disappointment flashed across Yin's face, and he changed the topic and said: "Then let's wait and see what the regulations are. I'm afraid I have to write a chapter about Yulin. The battle with Alabutan will be fought sooner or later. You must not take it lightly. What is the war in the west about? It is actually a food war! Whoever has enough military equipment and food access will win!" Yin smiled slightly, did not answer, and said with his mouth shut: "The Xihua Gate is here!"

The imperial concubine Wu Ya's bedroom is in the Changchun Palace behind Tiyuan Hall.This place was originally a Taoist temple where the famous alchemist Qiu Chuji made alchemy for the emperor in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. Qiu Chuji's nickname was "Changchunzi". Because it was renamed Changchun Palace, Qiu Chuji moved to Baiyun Temple, and the palace became deserted for several years. For hundreds of years, the courtyard has been infested with mugwort, badgers and foxes, and everyone avoids this place.However, Wu Ya loved solitude. After she was promoted to the imperial concubine in the 27th year of Kangxi's reign, she chose this place to renovate and use it as her living place.Yinyin walked in from the west side of the Yangxin Hall. He had seen the concubines coming in and out to celebrate birthdays. He knew that the concubines and concubines in the palace had not left to celebrate their birthdays. It was very inconvenient for everyone to go in at this moment. At that time, he stood far away and waited for a meal. When the crowd gradually became thinner, he walked to the Chuihua Gate to ask for an audience.Suddenly, words came from inside: "Your Majesty, please invite me to speak in the pavilion."

The two nodded slightly and stepped in slowly, but they saw congratulatory gifts from people everywhere in the hall and aisles.What kind of birthday cakes, steamed birthday peaches, ruyi, screens, Xuande furnace, golden Maitreya Buddha jade Guanyin, chiming bells, Gui, wall, Zhang, jade, calligraphy and paintings of famous people, or even snuff bottles, fan pendants, sandalwood, musk, ice flakes Tea leaves... all kinds of colors and colors, all marked with the name of the gift giver, stacked one after another.The two couldn't help thinking: Mother is 54 years old, and it's not her whole birthday. The gift she sent seems to be much richer than her fiftieth birthday!Thinking about it, he entered the main hall of Changchun Palace, knelt down beside the smoked cage outside the bead curtain of Dongnuange, kowtowed and praised: "My son respectfully kowtows to the noble concubine and empress for her eternal life!"

"Get up, sit down." Wu Ya was half leaning on the big Kang behind the curtain. She had been receiving guests and receiving gifts since dawn. She seemed a little tired. Seeing her two sons coming in in high spirits to kowtow to her, she sat up and ordered. : "Pull up this bead curtain. We were just afraid of foreign visitors. They crawled out of my intestines. What are you doing if you don't pretend to be ghosts?" Several eunuchs hurriedly agreed and closed the bead curtain with golden hooks. When Yin looked at her, her mother was wearing a Zhai Wuqiu fragrant satin robe, and a three-layer golden-topped Dongzhu phoenix crown was placed on the table, revealing a black dragon bun, willow-leaf eyebrows, and red phoenix eyes. Only her lips were slightly thicker, as if she was always using her teeth. Biting her lower lip, as if she was always thinking about something, she smiled and said: "Mom looks very good. She is wearing a Jifu today and looks more energetic. She doesn't look like a person in her 50s at all. Son Although we are working outside, we are really thinking about my mother, who has always been suffering from asthma. I wonder if she is safe?"

Wu Yashi was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's a habit that comes and goes, and I don't mind it. The Wuji Baifeng Pills and Chuanbei Dingchuansan you sent in last time are both good, and I can't stop them today. Yes!" Yin bowed and said with a smile: "It's not worth anything. Your Majesty will make good use of it, because the piety of your sons has reached its peak. In that case, I will send some more in tomorrow."

Wu Yashi was speechless for a moment.Royal rules are all about the love between mother and child. This is the time of the year when they can meet alone and say a few words.Her heart was clear. The two sons in front of her, one was shrewd and strong, cold-faced and cold-hearted, the other was delicate and clear-cut, passionate and hearty. They were both working hard, relying on Kangxi's fate, and they were all focused on the empty crown prince position in Yuqing Palace.She was both pleased and worried that her two sons were in different factions.Because no matter which son is expected to become a big one, as a mother is more valuable than her son, she herself cannot escape the position of a queen mother. What she worries about is that with so many elder brothers competing for the throne, who knows which cloud in the sky will rain?What if another brother succeeds?What if...his biological son becomes a fratricide...what will happen?Wu Yashi pondered and took a look at her sons. Yin sat silently with his hands down, looking at ease. Yin looked around with a smile on his face, with a restless look on his face.She wanted to say something, but she caught a glimpse of the large iron sign at the entrance of the temple, which read in teacup-sized letters:

Emperor Taizu's Hadith: Harem concubines, palace supervisors, etc., who make false remarks and interfere with politics, will be killed without pardon.

As if a gust of cold wind was blowing, Wu Yashi shuddered and murmured a little. When she saw two eunuchs carrying a table of banquets, she asked, "Is it time to eat?" "Reply to the queen," the eunuch said. He hurriedly placed the table in front of the Kang and said with an apologetic smile, "This is a reward from Long Live. Manager Li just called the servants. Long Live was talking to Mr. Fang Zhang Zhongtang. I heard that the Fourth Master and the Fourteenth Master are here with you." , Long Live Master was extremely happy, and said that it was rare for you mother and son to talk together, so the two masters did not want to go over to say hello. He rewarded the table with a banquet, and a bottle of styrax wine, saying that the queen's heart was beating, and eating this wine would not hurt her. "Wu Yashi hurriedly stood up and listened, and said: "Go to the Yangxin Hall again and ask Li Dequan to pray for God's grace. Thank you, Master, for remembering me." Then he smiled at his two sons and said, "Set up two seats. You two can eat a few cups with your mother!"

Yin and Yin looked at each other, got up and moved to the table together. Yin held the cup, and Yin held the pot and poured a full cup. He lifted up the corner of his robe and knelt down. Yin held the cup to Yin, and Yin raised his hands high and said. : "My sons are busy with state affairs outside, and they rarely fulfill their filial piety in front of you all year round. Today, I would like to lend you the wine from Long Live to celebrate your mother's birthday. Please drink this cup to the full!" Wu Yashi took the cup and filled the cup. The crimson wine juice was smoky, like amber juice. Somehow, her hands were trembling a little, and she smiled: "To tell you the truth, I have stopped eating meat and wine a long time ago. First of all, I don't dare to say goodbye because you have given me a gift." , it’s not good to spoil the master’s pleasure. Mother and son are together for the second time. It’s rare to have such family happiness. I’m going to break the precept today.” After saying that, he raised his glass, looked at it, drank it, and covered it with his handkerchief. He swallowed reluctantly, picked up a piece of bamboo shoots in the hot pot, ate it, and said, "You guys can eat as much as you like. I'm happy to watch from the side." How could Yinyin be willing to comply?After being prepared, he ordered two more half-cups, and then everyone took their seats. Wu Ya was already blushing and slightly tipsy. She put down the cup and sighed: "It seems that here, there are too many rules. . When I was in Hulunbuir before I entered the palace, your grandpa celebrated his birthday. Under the felt curtain set up outside the palace, there were singing girls serving wine, warriors racing horses and wrestling outside the tent, and the whole family sitting cross-legged on the ground passing flowers and drinking wine. How happy it was!"

"Yangqiju Yiqi," Yin said as he was busy pouring tea for his mother. "My mother is now the concubine of a dragon and a phoenix, so she naturally respects the system of the heavenly family. If the mother misses her grandfather and uncle, her son will ask for an order and invite them in to see him. Same." Yin smiled and said: "It's because the sons are too solemn and don't know how to celebrate. In previous years, Brother Thirteen would have been there at this time in the past. Without him today, it wouldn't be so lively." After hearing this, Yin felt sad. , almost shed tears, I expected that Wu Yashi would also be sad, but when he looked at his mother, he saw that his mother's expression was as usual, and in the middle of his surprise, Wu Yashi said: "Brother Thirteen is a poor man, Long Live actually loves him very much. He is different from the elder brother."

This is a crucial word, and Yinyin can't help but be startled. Since it is "different", why are the treatments the same?Both of them raised their heads, waiting for their mother to continue, but Wu Yashi changed the subject: "When the eldest brother's incident came out, his mother Nalan went to see her master and complained about Yin's disobedience. The master said, 'This is not a woman. It's none of your business.' In fact, why wasn't she sad? When I went to see Master Nalan, my eyes were red from crying. Among the sixteen concubines who have sons, who doesn't expect his son to have a safe future? So, today, While I'm drinking, I want to give you a few words of advice. If you go out to work peacefully and don't seek undue blessings, it will count as filial piety to me if you are safe and sound. Seeing that you are safe and harmonious, I can live a few more years. Like Nalan, such a smart person, now he walks looking at the ground and becomes timid when talking to others. What's the point of living?" As he said this, he wiped his tears with a handkerchief.Yin smiled and stood up to pick up some food for his mother, and said angrily: "We are all fourteen, so there is no reason to mention what the thirteenth brother is doing?" But Wu Yashi said: "Brothers care, it's nothing. You are all top-notch smart people. People, big carrots don’t need to be watered with shit. Who can’t see what’s going on outside now except the blind? Let me tell you one thing, today’s sages cannot rub sand into their eyes. You should be your prince Baylor wholeheartedly, handle your errands, and be safe. Those who are harmonious and harmonious are blessed!”

"Don't worry, mother!" Yin looked at Yin with a smile and said, "Aren't we good friends? The ancients said that brothers who work together can break gold. An ancient poem said, 'A foot of cloth can be sewed, and a bucket of millet can be pounded. "The two brothers are incompatible." We have all read it since we were children. They are all wise quotes. How can we not remember them? Don't worry, we don't care about anything else. We get along well with our fourth brother!" Yin Ling's teeth are sharp and his tongue is sharp. Such clever words made Yin smile, and Wu Yashi also turned around and said: "I know you are in harmony, and your words are just in vain. In this case, you brothers drink a cup of concentric wine together, and call me Ye Lele!”

Yin hurriedly agreed and stood up happily. Yin Zao poured a full glass of wine and handed it over. Yin smiled and took a sip and handed the cup to Yin. Yin drank it all in one gulp, showed the bottom of the cup to his mother, and sat down to drink and chat again. .Yin Yin smiled and said: "It's not me who troubles my mother. Brother Thirteen really has no big fault. He is not here today, so I can't help but feel worried about him. I don't want my mother to beg for mercy in front of Long Live - I just wonder, Thirteen Since the third brother is 'different' from the eldest brother, why won't Long live let him out?"

"I also don't understand." Wu Ya shook his head and sighed, "He was not raised by me, so he didn't have so many taboos. I saw Wansui the next day after the accident, and I pleaded for him. Wansui said: 'This is for the sake of He's good, but I didn't do anything to him! You women don't understand these things!' I didn't say anything else, and I didn't dare to say any more."

Yinyin looked at each other and originally wanted to ask for some advice from her mother. Unexpectedly, after hearing so much, she became more and more confused. Being imprisoned is the most severe punishment for the clan besides death. She also said "it's for his own good", and What "didn't do anything to him"!Women don't understand it, but the shrewd fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother don't understand it even more. The old emperor's thoughts are really unpredictable.Seeing that it was past noon, the concubines from all the palaces flocked to the front yard with birthday gifts, but the two elder brothers had not left and could not come in. Knowing the inconvenience, the two hurriedly had two more drinks and left.

When the two brothers left Xihua Gate, they both breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky, which was already covered with a layer of clouds.It was overcast but not heavy. A pale sun was struggling to pass through the gaps in the clouds. A rustling autumn wind was rising from the ground. The red maple and yellow leaves were falling gracefully. A group of swan geese screamed and flew past the cloud shadows and flew south in a hurry. The gray and gloomy autumn colors add a bit of uneasiness and desolation.When Yin saw Zhou Yongcheng and a dozen of his family members waiting on the north side of the stone lion, he turned around and said, "Yin, the longevity wine is not going well. Why don't you come to my house and have a few more drinks?"

"Fourth brother, you don't drink. It's boring for me to drink wine alone." Yin seemed to be thinking a lot, looking into the distance in a daze, "The Ministry of War is fine today. Fourth brother and I will go out for a walk in the city to relax. , how about it?" Yin said nothing and stretched out two fingers to wave to Zhou Yongcheng, who had already prepared two horses.

The two people rode horses and aimlessly left the north of the city. They circled around the Jade Emperor Temple, then walked to the west of the city, meandering south along the moat. They were silent all the way. They saw the Yongding River in front of them, and the autumn water was flowing outside the embankment. The reeds are white, but inside the embankment is the old tomb of Zhangge of the Qianming Dynasty. There is a trail of decaying grass under the old junipers, pines and cypresses. Some of the staggering stone people, horses and sheep are half buried in the soil.The two of them abandoned their horses and climbed onto the embankment, only to realize that the sky was getting heavier and the stars, rain and mist were falling.Yin couldn't help laughing and said: "Why are you so excited to come here today? You didn't even bring a rain gear!"

"Autumn wind, drizzle, lean horses, and people, how elegant!" Yin seemed to be overwhelmed with emotion, "Why do you need rain gear? Look at this old Zhang Ge, a hero of the three dynasties before his death, with power inside and outside. Withered like this, who will protect him from the wind and rain?"

"Huh?" Yin was startled for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "So you have enlightened the Tao today and want to practice Zen with me? Hmm... Brother, your understanding is far behind. You don't know everything in the world, such as this The wind, the rain, the horse, the person, are all illusions of form. Regardless of their original nature, they are all empty. Because they have worries, depression, joy, and desire, they have color in the sky. They have lost their true colors. One day, they will disappear and reach nothingness. When there is no birth and no death, no existence and no non-existence, step out of the iron threshold with one step, and everything will return to nothing. This place leans on Yongding on the left, and supports the Imperial City on the right. When you climb the embankment and raise your eyes, it is so gloomy and vast. No wonder you sigh in the wind. After all, it is You can't break through this side door. If you really realize it, the world is just a ball of air, a wisp of smoke, and a flash of ephemeral flower!"

Yin smiled and said: "I sighed, you have such a great treatise - when it comes to Buddhism, none of us are opponents - I listened to your mother-in-law's words today and felt something in my heart. You probably don't know yet, Bago Yesterday I went to the Emperor to say hello, saying that he was in a dilemma due to the current situation. When he went out to do things, he was afraid that people would say he was ambitious, so he did not go out to do things and was afraid that people would say he was hiding at home. He asked his father to allow him to pretend to be sick and recuperate, which made Amma furious. He said that he was deliberately testing, and scolded him so much that even people who were not sick became angry. It’s really hard to be a human being. It’s me. People say that I’m a member of the Bad Ye Party, but in fact, God knows, I’m just me! I’m not saying Bage said this when he got into bad luck. It is usually brother. What should I do to be a "party" to others? You and I, who share the same mother, want to join together and join together with you. There is also a prince above me. If you're not crazy or obsessed, why do you want to get together with myna? So my mother's words hurt my heart. What's the point of life when our flesh and blood are so troubled?" He said, feeling discouraged and already bursting into tears.But Yin knew very well that this younger brother was a brat, and he was much more sincere than Yin Xiang. He thought and said with a smile: "Why are you doing this! Being a human being is inherently difficult, not to mention that we are in the biggest den of right and wrong in the world? Are you? I am passionate about my career, but I am mediocre and want to be a solitary minister. When the current emperor is alive, I am his solitary minister. No matter who becomes the emperor in the next generation, I will still be a solitary minister. People say that I am mean. , no one said that I am ambitious, that’s why. The eldest brother just can’t see through this, and there will be no end if he falls behind. I think the eighth brother may not have any ambitions, but I have made many friends, and what can’t the little people below do? I’m sorry. My back is tired! It’s hard for you and hard for me, but in fact, compared to Old Thirteen, we are doing pretty well. Thinking about this, a lot of worries are gone.”

Yin tasted and grasped Yin's words, which seemed both virtual and real, real and elusive. He was as calm as the fresh water from the spring. He couldn't help but sigh, without making a sound, he just stared blankly at the autumn scenery in the hazy rain and fog.
