Chapter 80: The orphaned widow and the emperor’s sister have a heart attack in the palace and have a heart-to-heart talk with their brothers in the garden.
The two Yun Yun brothers discussed closely for another half an hour in the study, and they heard the chiming clock strike one o'clock, and it was already the beginning of the card.Yun got up and smiled and said, "That's it, I have to pay the order to 'Yongzheng Lord'. You go in tomorrow to bid him farewell, and the day after tomorrow he will go to Henan." Yun also got up, stretched his yawn loudly Said: "Yindi, wait for the robes and coats for the Lord! I will go with Lord Lian!" Yun hurriedly said: "What's the hurry? I'll go and answer first to see what the emperor wants. It's not too late for you to go in tomorrow. Besides, It’s too eye-catching to walk together.”
"If I don't go together, I'm not a member of the 'Baye' party?" Yun Youyindi fiddled with her clothes and said with a smile, "If you don't come today, I will go too. Seventeenth old Gege is sick, I have to See you, An'er. The sedan chair walks on the sedan chair road, the horse walks on the road, what's the hindrance?" One said, the other came out, and the other stepped on the steps and said loudly: "Qian Yundou, call the Cai family to prepare the sedan chair, and Yindi will accompany the master to enter. palace!"
So the two brothers took two big sedan chairs back and forth, but they didn't follow the way Yun came, and went straight from Shenwu Gate to Xihua Gate. Go north to the side hall of the fasting palace to see the Seventeenth Aunt, and see Yunxiang leading the eunuch with a big screwdriver through the gate of Rijing and enter the palace, Yunyuan stands still, only pretends to lift his shoes and don't turn his face away, until Yunxiang's people are all gone In the past, "shoes" were only mentioned.
The seventeenth emperor's face was flushed, panting for a long time and half lying on the big pillow, eyes closed, making "cough cough" sounds from time to time, but she couldn't spit out a mouthful of phlegm.She clutched the front of her chest tightly with both hands, and turned over from time to time, twitching in pain, sometimes a convulsion seemed to wake up a little.Yun came in with Yindi, and saw a large group of maids standing aside holding towels and mouthwashes, but they didn't dare to show their air. They could only hear the bellows-like panting and moaning of the Seventeenth Queen and the conversation of the imperial physicians behind the gauze drawer next door discussing soup. Whispering.Seeing that Yun seemed to be standing there at a loss, a personal court lady whispered to Seventeenth Aunt Huang's ear: "Old Gege, Lord Fourteen is here to greet you. Just close your eyes and rest, don't move."
"Yes," the seventeenth emperor groaned twice, turned around slowly, opened her eyes suddenly, and waved with difficulty, "Come here..."
Seeing that the usually bright and simple old Huanggu suddenly fell ill, Yun's nose was sore, tears blurred his eyes, he walked a few steps in a hurry and beat him down one by one, and said with a choked voice: "Brother Yun... Greetings to Seventeenth Sister! In just a few days, you are so sick that people can watch..." She wiped her tears as she spoke.Aunt Seventeen stared at Yun, her body twitched violently, she coughed twice, and spit out two mouthfuls of phlegm. Her chest felt much better immediately, but she still had the same fiery temper, and said with a smile: "The Buddha hasn't confiscated me yet, you Why don’t you cry for me? Don’t give me your tears! Go ahead, I have something to tell you.” Yun stood up, bowed before the couch, and said, “I don’t think Huanggu’s illness is relevant to me. Yes. Just say what you have to say, and just order what you want.”
"My illness is well known in my heart, and it won't be over." The Seventeenth Aunt Huang's eyes flickered for a moment, and for a moment, Yun felt that the Seventeenth Sister must have been a dazzling beauty back then.Just as she was in a daze, the seventeenth aunt gasped again and sighed: "According to our Aixinjueluo family's Gege, there are only two people who have lived past the age of 50 since the great grandfather. I am the one with the longest lifespan. Already 63 years old, contented. Taking advantage of this breath, let me advise you a few words, are you willing to listen?"
"Well, fourteenth brother, listen up!"
"I'm a woman," Aunt Seventeen coughed dryly, and her voice became stagnant, "I shouldn't care about the messy things outside your palace, there is only an old saying 'Brothers are of one heart, and their benefits can break gold', don't you understand? The past is long gone, don't keep twisting and tearing it so that not only the future generations will see the joke, but also let the Han people see it, what's the matter with you? Forget it, let it go, don't make trouble with the emperor, he has His difficulties, when it comes to your fourth brother, he is not a bad person..." Yun didn't expect her to point her head so clearly, she couldn't help trembling in shock, and hurriedly said: "Sister Seventeen, you can rest at ease, no What’s wrong with me and the emperor’s mother and compatriots? Besides, the separation of monarchs and ministers, I dare not have any trouble.” “Forget it.” The Seventeenth Auntie patted the back of Yun’s head, stroking his thick and thick hair. She has long and smooth braids, and said with a half-smile, "Women have long hair, but do you guys have short braids? My sister told you, I underestimated you when you grow up. My sister knows which hozen is on which tree!" Among these nephews, the ones I love the most are you and the old thirteen, who followed my sister to pick pomegranates and steal pears in the imperial garden! Seeing your birth, my sister felt bad, but she dared not say a word! Now ... Now that the time of life and death has come, you can say what you can't say. To tell you the truth, the world is so big, and there is no one who can hold my shoulders and say a few words with your fourth brother firmly! I am going! , if you continue to make trouble, who can beg for you like my sister?" As she said, big tears rolled down her cheeks.
Looking at the dying Seventeenth Sister, Yun felt a pang of sadness in her heart, shed tears unknowingly, and said in a warm voice: "Sister, don't worry, don't think about it, you have a long life! I... listen to you That’s it.” I wanted to go on, but when I heard footsteps approaching outside the courtyard, I couldn’t help being stunned when I looked back, and I was going to avoid Yongzheng, but Yongzheng also came.Dozens of court ladies and eunuchs inside and outside the side hall knelt down when the emperor came in.Yun Wu's eyes blurred from tears, he glanced at Yongzheng, then knelt down beside the couch, and said: "The sinful minister is allowed to kowtow to the emperor."
"My brother, get up!" Yongzheng said, approaching Aunt Seventeen, and seeing Aunt Seventeen staring at him intently, she leaned over and sat on the side of the couch, and said softly, "Sister Seventeen... Do you feel a little better?" The seventeenth emperor nodded on the pillow, "I have seen everyone except the eldest and the second, and I feel a lot more at ease. Sigh... my sister will have a good life in a few days, and it is the former emperor. Lord, he treats me differently from other Heshuo princesses. Sometimes I smack his forehead and scold him, but he just laughs. My sister thinks about it. When it comes to the law of the country, my status is worthless, but my sister always thinks that she is a Woman, she is an old widow, she is always in front of you, and she doesn't think that you are the king of a country, don't you blame my sister?" Yongzheng said with a tearful smile: "Since ancient times, the emperor has no family happiness. Whatever you want, you can do whatever you want. In fact, it’s all in the show. Even if you have something to say, you can’t say it freely. You know that Ha Qing is dead, and your son is safe and sound. At the beginning, I could only tell my elder sister and queen mother that way. Is it difficult for me? When it comes to loneliness, the neighbors are unreliable, the six relatives are hard to recognize, and the emperor is also the first one. That is the elder sister. Myself, that's why you are sick, I feel anxious, no less than Lafayette's uneasiness—it happens these days, and I am so busy that I can't come to see you every day—this is because the imperial doctor and the servants, there are no waiters. Did you arrive?"
The seventeenth emperor coughed violently for a while, spit out another mouthful of phlegm, touched her heart with one hand, panted for a while, turned her face and said to the crowd: "You all get out! - In my capacity, how dare the servants be negligent? - —Your Majesty, don’t worry about this one. I know your brother. His face is cold, and his heart is clear. First, Aunt Su Mala and Kong Sizhen are here. They often talk about you. Even though I was young at that time, I listened to them In my heart, you are shrewd and capable, have a clear distinction between good and evil, do things without sloppiness, and trim your appearance. No one in my elder brother can compare to you. The late emperor lacked energy in his later years. In fact, this court situation is supported by you and the old thirteen. Well, my sister is not telling lies, the late emperor chose you to rule the world, and your eyesight is not bad." Then he looked at Yun who turned sideways and lowered his eyes, and then said: "But my sister does have something in her heart, you are too It's clear, do you understand?"
"Sister Seventeen!"
"Listen to me," the seventeenth imperial aunt coughed, "you don't spend as much money as the late emperor every ten stops, and you haven't heard of which concubine you love the most, and you don't drink too much alcohol. Still doing things, when it comes to diligence, the first emperor was not as good as you when he was young. The emperor keeps his promises, and he cannot lose his prestige. If he wants to make his subordinates fear, respect, love and cannot leave him, you are not as good as the late emperor!"
Yongzheng felt a wave of heat in his heart, but he felt sweet, bitter and sour.He looked at the seventeenth emperor's aunt who was sick and broken, and really wanted to express his thoughts, but the dignity and pride of the emperor stopped him, and he just sighed in his heart: How did you know that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind keeps on going!Others are not content with being a minister, how dare I be content with being a monarch without vigilance?Thinking in my heart, I said softly: "Sister, I know what you said. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. If you can tolerate it, I will try my best to tolerate it. You rest and rest. When you recover from illness, we will take care of you. Make homework!"
"Sister is going to die." Aunt Seventeen closed her eyes and murmured, "I am comforted in my heart. God has eyes. Ha Qingsheng violated the military law. My little nephew doesn't have to marry that rabbit... our royal family My aunt and grandmother are all miserable... I see you all, I see you all, only the eldest and the second child, alas..." She smacked her lips and stopped talking.
The "boss" is Kangxi's eldest son, Yun, who was imprisoned in Chengde in 47 for punishing the prince's "second" with the Nightmare Suppressing Demon Law. The "second child" is the former Prince Yun, who was deposed and imprisoned in Kangxi in 51 years, and imprisoned in the Xian'an Palace not far from here-limited by the national legal system, no matter how much the seventeen emperors thought about it, Yongzheng could not agree.Thinking about it, Yongzheng said with a smile: "Yun is a beast in clothes, what's the benefit of the seventeenth sister seeing him? The second brother... Yesterday Xian'an Palace sent a message to the Ministry of Internal Affairs that he is also sick now. In this way, I will go with the fourteenth brother I will visit him for you, and when you recover from illness, let the Lifan Court discuss his affairs again, just look at it, but there is a glimmer of light, I will never make things difficult for the second brother." Seeing that the seventeenth aunt had nothing to say, Yongzheng signaled to Yun.Yun Hui came out of the palace, turned to Yindi and said: "You just wait here, I will walk with the emperor, come back and walk together."
Yongzheng walked away, listened to Yun's words, and when he looked back, he met Yindi's eyes, and Yindi hurriedly squatted down to salute Yongzheng.Unexpectedly, when Yongzheng saw Yindi for the first time, it was like encountering a ghost suddenly in the middle of the night. He was so frightened that he took two steps back, staggered a bit before standing still, and then rubbed his eyes to look carefully.Yuncong had never seen Yongzheng's panic-stricken face before, so he couldn't help but be amazed.Seeing the emperor staring at her like this, Yindi felt embarrassed, blushed immediately, and just bowed her head in silence.After a while Yuncai said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Your face is so pale that you don't have any blood left?"
"Huh? Huh..." Yongzheng came to his senses, looked at Yindi again, looked away, walked away slowly, and slowly recovered his calm, while walking, he said: "It's nothing, now I often Suffering from dizziness, it will be fine for a while—is this girl in your room?"
Yun walked half a step later with Yongzheng, walked out of the palace to Xian'an Palace, and said, "It's my girl."
"Bought it?"
"No. She is a person involved in the Nuomin case in Shanxi. She was sent to Beijing as a witness. I saw that she was homeless and took her in."
"She... is from Shanxi?"
"It's from Daizhou, Shanxi," Yun felt startled, for fear that Yongzheng proposed to introduce his wife, and resigned because of the money, "On that day, the emperor called me back to Beijing, and I had a relationship with her in Niangziguan. She can't bear to part with me..." Immediately, he described the situation of Shanshen Temple's rescue of Yindi in a long and short way, and finally said: "The emperor knows that I don't expect to repay my kindness, so I will take her true love. She simply opened her face. What, the emperor... you?"
Yongzheng listened silently, and looked back at the large group of eunuchs and guards following him. After a long time, he took a heavy breath and said, "It's nothing, don't worry too much. I think she looks like the one who passed away... Zheng Gong People, so I was taken aback." After that, he lowered his head and put his hands behind his back, just pondering.Seeing the worry on his face, Yun seemed to be very sad. For some reason, he didn't want to ask any more questions, so he could only persuade with a smile: "There are many people who look similar in the world! How many times have you met Yin Jishan and Yang Mingshi, and sometimes I call you by the wrong name— — Your Majesty, this is the Xian'an Palace, and the second brother is... imprisoned here."
"Oh!"
Yongzheng stood still, only to realize that he was already standing at the gate of Xian'an Palace.This is a desolate partial palace located in the northeast corner of the Forbidden City. On the high palace wall, fluffy bamboo grass grows in the gaps between the yellow glazed roof tiles. The red color on the palace wall is peeling off in pieces. The Artemisia annua half a person's height was not cleared up, and the deserted desert looked like an ancient temple that had been abandoned for many years. A few gray-haired old eunuchs stood guard in front of the hanging flower gate. Seeing the emperor and the fourteenth elder brother meandering over, they panicked They all went down the steps and knelt down, kowtowed with shriveled drake voices and said: "Slaves, pay your respects to Lord Long Live!" , It has not been renovated for many years, and the paint flakes have peeled off so that the handwriting is blurred.He frowned and ordered, "Open the door."
"Zha!" several eunuchs replied in unison.
The tightly locked palace door let out a groan and was slowly pushed open.From the 51st year of Kangxi to the present, this door has been open for twelve years, charcoal is delivered in winter, ice water is delivered in summer, and vegetables, rice and noodles are delivered on weekdays.The white-headed husbands and the deposed concubines who accompanied Yun looked at each other in panic for some reason.The deposed prince Yun was in the study room, when he saw the emperor and the fourteenth elder brother coming in through the glass window, his complexion turned pale with shock, the pen in his hand fell to the ground, he walked out of the study room with trembling legs, and knelt at the door Next, he said in a trembling voice: "Sin...sin minister Yun...Kowtow to Long live Jin'an!" He bent down to kowtow, but for a while he couldn't support his body with his hands!
"Second brother," Yongzheng hurriedly stepped forward to help Yun up with both hands, and walked into the study holding hands.He felt that Yun was trembling all over, as if his hands were soaked in ice water, and he couldn't help but feel a gloomy chill, but he said: "Sit down, sit down and talk."
Yun also looked at Yun in surprise and astonishment, seeing that Yun was still wearing a silky gray poplin robe on a hot day, thick white socks were exposed in his semi-new Qimingjian shoes, his face was green and gray, as ugly as a dead person, he couldn't help feeling Also a sigh.He and Yun have been deadly enemies for decades, and the position of Prince Yun has been abolished again and again. Yun does not know how much painstaking effort and manipulation he has made in it.But seeing the "Heaven's Proud Son" who has been the crown prince for 40 years become uneasy, panicked, like a frightened child, nervously swinging his skinny body, looking at Yongzheng shyly, Yun couldn't help but feel deeply moved .He glanced at the calm and composed Yongzheng again, and thought: "How could this be? How could we be here today? The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins..."
"Yun," Yongzheng's words interrupted Yun's train of thought, "I'm going to do the family ceremony today. Please give my second brother a blessing on my behalf." Yun hurriedly responded, and was about to hit Qian'er, so panicked that Yun hurriedly supported her with both hands, He stammered and said incoherently: "This is absolutely...not allowed! Your Majesty, you...don't kill the criminals..." "There is no need to mention the words of the past." Yongzheng looked out of the door wistfully, slowly deliberating He said in words, "Although you are imprisoned here, I am really thinking about it. The king's law is the king's law, and human feelings are human feelings. You are still my second brother."
Yun bowed stiffly and deeply on the table, and said: "Your Majesty, speaking of my sins, I should have been sent to the eighteenth level of hell long ago. Now I am as dead as a dead tree. Thanks to the grace of the Emperor's rain and dew, I am able to survive and thrive. My wish is fulfilled. I only ask Buddha and Heaven to bless the emperor's dragon body and health, which will be a blessing to the people of the world and a blessing to the sinners." "I wanted to come in and see you." Yongzheng felt sad when he saw him like this and hurriedly restrained himself. He said calmly, "It has to do with the national system, and I can't help myself. I often ask people to bring things in, and I also tell them not to say that they are from me, because I don't want you to give me the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and thank me." Yes. I have worked hard on this idea, and my second brother must be considerate." Yun's eyes met Yongzheng's and he immediately dodged away. The emperor in front of him had been running errands under him for more than ten years, and he performed the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers every day. Now in his memory The center is as dim as smoke and clouds, thinking that the world is upside down and confusing, the lightning and flint are like dreams, while thinking deeply, he said: "This is the emperor's holy virtue like heaven. I am a sinful minister, but one day's life is the gift of the emperor's rain and dew. Over the years I devoted myself to Buddhism and gained quite a lot of experience. I knew that the emperor came to save all sentient beings with the golden body of the great Arhat. I had nothing to do, so I respectfully copied the three volumes of the Shurangama Sutra, the Lotus Sutra, and the Diamond Sutra. Both are Buddhist Zen classics. "Surangama Sutra" is also called "First Surangama Sutra", ten volumes. "Lotus Sutra" says that Sakyamuni wants to enable all living beings to obtain the wisdom of Buddha, that is, everyone can become a Buddha. "Vajra Sutra" "Sutra" says that the reality of wisdom lies in not being attached to the appearance of things. Zen Buddhism describes "heart" as the total color world, and advises people to enter the kingdom of heaven by doing good deeds, and to be content with the status quo, etc., which all meet the needs of feudal rulers. Buddhism was spread since the Eastern Han Dynasty Entering our country, the Sui and Tang Dynasties flourished. There are Tiantai Sect, Faxiang Sect, Huayan Sect, and Zen Sect. After the Song Dynasty, Zen Buddhism was combined with Confucianism and Taoism and became more popular. I would like to dedicate it to the emperor's birthday." After saying that, he stood up, shook the rope and took it off the top of the cabinet. Several large volumes and a thick stack of sutras.
Yun Jianyun was as dull and rigid as a hanging marionette, looking very weak, hurried forward to help hold it and put it on the case.When Yongzheng opened it to read, he saw that the same color of Zhong Wang's teeny lowercase script had no random strokes from beginning to end, and there were some shocking famous lines, with blood-piercing circles on the side. Absolutely not for this sake.Seeing the satisfied smile on Yongzheng's face, Yun pointed to the cabinet and said, "These big cabinets are all Buddhist scriptures copied by criminal ministers, but they are not as good as these. A few copies are presented for the emperor to enjoy."
"Second brother, isn't he 52 years old?" Yongzheng suddenly felt sour. "I've been imprisoned here for more than ten years. It's not a common practice. I want to move it for you. The garden you originally set up in Tongzhou I will repay it to you. This palace is too gloomy, and it is difficult for you to stay alive. Let you go out, I also have this intention, but I am afraid that it will violate the sacred will of the first emperor and be shocking. I still give you the name of prince, as long as you don’t communicate with others If you come and go, you will appreciate my painstaking efforts."
"No no no no... Oh, the guilty minister dare not accept this blessing..." Yun Ru met a snake and scorpion, shaking his hands, "That's it... that's it, the guilty minister is very at ease, I don't need anything, I don't want anything , that's the best!"
Yongzheng stood up and said, "Second brother, you can rest in peace and study, and then I will give you a decree. If you want something to use, ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to report to me, and you will never fail. Sigh... Yun, we Let's go..." As he said, he walked out with lead-filled steps, Yun sent him out of the study room, knelt down with several eunuchs, and said loudly: "Congratulations to Long Live Lord!"
"Long Live Lord? Hahaha! Hahahaha..."
Suddenly there was a ghostly howling sound from the other courtyard, as if a lunatic was running in the courtyard and shouting, "Your Majesty! Where are you? Come here and let me see what you look like? You are the king of a country, I He is the king of the house. Sovereign king...is a word, huh? Ah...hahahaha..." While shouting, while walking far away, the elf screamed in his ears: "Come here, come here! You can come here, but I can't get out! Ho-ho--"
Yun knew that over there was the Shangsi Courtyard, the stable yard where Emperor Kangxi raised horses, and the elder brother Yun had stayed in it for fifteen years.Suddenly I realized: I will also go to Zunhua to guard the spirit, why the emperor asked me to follow this ghost place alone, to meet these people and know these things?He shuddered from the bottom of his heart, and stole a glance at Yongzheng.Yongzheng was unmoved, walked forward slowly, beckoned to the eunuch at the gate of Shangsi courtyard and asked, "How long has Yun been sick?" The eunuch hurriedly kowtowed: "One and a half years."
"What's the point of yelling?" Yongzheng sternly said, "Go! Shut up the empty house first to defeat him, and call an imperial doctor to come in and see what medicine he should take. Don't wrong him."
After finishing speaking, he left, and Yun hurriedly followed.The two entered the garden from the northeast corner gate of the imperial garden. Seeing Liu Tiecheng and De Lengtai's bodyguards leading a group of Buku youths practicing kung fu, Yongzheng ordered the eunuchs behind him to leave the garden, beckoned Liu Tiecheng and De Lengtai and said, "Old man. De, you go and ask the ministers in the study room and Prince Lian to wait to see me in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. By the way, tell Fifth Brother Zhang that he and you will leave Beijing with me the day after tomorrow. Go back to the mansion for cooking today, afternoon and tomorrow, so you don’t need to come in Waiting. Tiecheng, you stay here, and I have a few words with my fourteenth brother, and you go with me."
"Yes, the slave will save it."
Yongzheng and Yun brothers were the only ones left in the lush and verdant imperial garden. In the huge imperial garden, there were gorgeous passionflowers blooming. Under the sunlight, they shone like jewels, and the thick green seemed to flow down. Roses and rosebushes are dotted with blood-red flowers, and weavers among the pansies are singing endlessly, but there is no one else.
"Your Majesty, let's say goodbye here today." Yun looked at Yongzheng in a daze and said, "The emperor will also leave for the south in the future, should I send the emperor off before leaving?"
Yongzheng didn't speak, but nodded his head as he heard.
"Your Majesty, do you have any orders?"
Yongzheng had no expression on his face, and he casually browsed the scenery in the imperial garden. After a long time, he said, "Do you remember the day when I celebrated my mother's birthday five years ago?" Bing, things are very complicated."
"Some things can't be forgotten, and shouldn't be forgotten." Probably because of the glare of the sun, Yongzheng squinted his eyes, and couldn't see any expression hidden in his eyes.But the tone was as flat as an autumn pond: "I saw the second brother today and heard the elder brother speak, and I was very touched. It was the two of us that time, but that time was in front of a grave in the wilderness outside the city. This time, it was in Tianjia Imperial Garden. This time, the spring scene has gone, and that time, the autumn scene is old. The deserted graves, wild grass, cold wind and the scene in front of me are really different."
Yun remembered that it was the 56th year of Kangxi, the birthday of Concubine De (Yongzheng and Yun's birth mother), and the two brothers worshiped Chenghuan on their knees.Concubine De tried her best to persuade a pair of enemy brothers who became political enemies.At that time, Yongzheng and Yunfang went out of the city and stayed in front of the desolate and dark wild grave to talk, but they parted ways because of their political differences.Today, when a winner is about to punish the loser, the two are reliving old stories in the Royal Garden!
"I cut down your prince, and sent you to guard the mausoleum." After some time, Yong Zhengfang gritted his fine white teeth and stared at Yun, "What do you have in mind, it's just the two of us here, why not?" Straight up."
Yun lowered his head and followed Yongzheng as he walked on the fluffy "rule grass". After thinking about it for a while, he finally realized that it would be better to speak up than to go around with this scrupulous and critical son of the emperor.Yin said: "This is a matter of course, it is imperative. When I return from Pingliang, I will prepare for it. Now that I have dealt with it like this, I am very gracious,—really, I am very gracious."
Yongzheng turned his face suddenly, his eyes flashed with surprise and suspicion, but he was not angry, he said with a half smile, "Why do you think so?" Yun Ye stared at Yongzheng with no timidity on his face, and his eyes met When the time shifted, Yun turned his eyes to the white clouds in the sky, and said: "As soon as the emperor ascended to the throne, he wrote the "Friends of the Party" with his own pen. Since the emperor called for blunt speech, my younger brother said it straight. In the emperor's heart, my younger brother is a member of the 'Baye Party'." Well!" Yongzheng looked at Yun intently, saw that he had stopped speaking, and said, "Go on, I said it, today the speaker is innocent."
Yun smiled lightly and said: "Actually, I don't have much to say. After many years of competition, the emperor came first, but the power of starlings still exists. The emperor is worried, so naturally he has to clean up one by one. So I stripped my military power and transferred my younger brother back to the capital. So called The ninth brother stayed with Gengyao last year, and the tenth brother went to Zhangjiakou. The emperor wanted to disband the 'party', so the younger brother had to go to guard the mausoleum. Before guarding the mausoleum, the emperor did not forget to take the younger brother to see the situation of the two elder brothers in the secluded palace , That is self-evident. The younger brother is dishonest in Zunhua, so he has to be prepared to become an idiot like the second brother, or a lunatic like the eldest brother. This cannot be said to be compassionate, so the younger brother said, the younger brother is really I really feel that the "emperor's grace is mighty" - because "the minister's crime should be punished"!"
"Happy!" Yongzheng nodded and smiled.His smile is childishly innocent and straightforward, and the corners of his mouth hang down slightly, with undeniable sternness and arrogance: "There are many words here, which are exactly what I want to tell you. Now that you know it, you don't have to." More to say, but you are only half right. "Clique Theory" is not aimed at the eighth younger brother, it is aimed at the habits of the Han people. I can't talk about reforming the bureaucracy!
"As for you, you consider yourself a 'Ba Ye Party', but I don't think so. Even Yun, as long as he keeps his peace, is still my brother. But who can stop me from being a good emperor, be it a brother, a father or a son, or a monarch or minister? It’s hard for me to take care of my personal affairs. I am appointed by Heaven, and I must be worthy of the emperor, heaven, queen, earth, and ancestors!"
"The reasons for stripping you of your title and asking you to study at the mausoleum are not for the 'eight masters' party.' Even if you and I are all in Beijing, I can't kill you? Can't I kill you?"
"So don't think about it, go to Zunhua, so that you can study well. Since you are in Zunhua, you should work hard on the word 'Zunhua'. In this sense, you can guess that my compassion is quite authentic."
Yongzheng talked about it in a long and eloquent way, gouging out the tendons and eviscerating the bones to analyze the principles. Yun listened to the needles hidden in the cotton and the bones in the flesh. Although there are fakes, most of them are true.Thinking about it, he sighed: "You don't need to talk about it. My younger brother will be on the road tomorrow. I must shut myself up and think about my life and study well. I will live up to the painstaking efforts of the emperor."
"That's it," Yongzheng didn't say any more, staring at the gate of the garden gloomily, and said, "Man does not fail the heaven and the earth, and the heaven and the earth do not fail the man. Do it for yourself!"
(End of this chapter)
The two Yun Yun brothers discussed closely for another half an hour in the study, and they heard the chiming clock strike one o'clock, and it was already the beginning of the card.Yun got up and smiled and said, "That's it, I have to pay the order to 'Yongzheng Lord'. You go in tomorrow to bid him farewell, and the day after tomorrow he will go to Henan." Yun also got up, stretched his yawn loudly Said: "Yindi, wait for the robes and coats for the Lord! I will go with Lord Lian!" Yun hurriedly said: "What's the hurry? I'll go and answer first to see what the emperor wants. It's not too late for you to go in tomorrow. Besides, It’s too eye-catching to walk together.”
"If I don't go together, I'm not a member of the 'Baye' party?" Yun Youyindi fiddled with her clothes and said with a smile, "If you don't come today, I will go too. Seventeenth old Gege is sick, I have to See you, An'er. The sedan chair walks on the sedan chair road, the horse walks on the road, what's the hindrance?" One said, the other came out, and the other stepped on the steps and said loudly: "Qian Yundou, call the Cai family to prepare the sedan chair, and Yindi will accompany the master to enter. palace!"
So the two brothers took two big sedan chairs back and forth, but they didn't follow the way Yun came, and went straight from Shenwu Gate to Xihua Gate. Go north to the side hall of the fasting palace to see the Seventeenth Aunt, and see Yunxiang leading the eunuch with a big screwdriver through the gate of Rijing and enter the palace, Yunyuan stands still, only pretends to lift his shoes and don't turn his face away, until Yunxiang's people are all gone In the past, "shoes" were only mentioned.
The seventeenth emperor's face was flushed, panting for a long time and half lying on the big pillow, eyes closed, making "cough cough" sounds from time to time, but she couldn't spit out a mouthful of phlegm.She clutched the front of her chest tightly with both hands, and turned over from time to time, twitching in pain, sometimes a convulsion seemed to wake up a little.Yun came in with Yindi, and saw a large group of maids standing aside holding towels and mouthwashes, but they didn't dare to show their air. They could only hear the bellows-like panting and moaning of the Seventeenth Queen and the conversation of the imperial physicians behind the gauze drawer next door discussing soup. Whispering.Seeing that Yun seemed to be standing there at a loss, a personal court lady whispered to Seventeenth Aunt Huang's ear: "Old Gege, Lord Fourteen is here to greet you. Just close your eyes and rest, don't move."
"Yes," the seventeenth emperor groaned twice, turned around slowly, opened her eyes suddenly, and waved with difficulty, "Come here..."
Seeing that the usually bright and simple old Huanggu suddenly fell ill, Yun's nose was sore, tears blurred his eyes, he walked a few steps in a hurry and beat him down one by one, and said with a choked voice: "Brother Yun... Greetings to Seventeenth Sister! In just a few days, you are so sick that people can watch..." She wiped her tears as she spoke.Aunt Seventeen stared at Yun, her body twitched violently, she coughed twice, and spit out two mouthfuls of phlegm. Her chest felt much better immediately, but she still had the same fiery temper, and said with a smile: "The Buddha hasn't confiscated me yet, you Why don’t you cry for me? Don’t give me your tears! Go ahead, I have something to tell you.” Yun stood up, bowed before the couch, and said, “I don’t think Huanggu’s illness is relevant to me. Yes. Just say what you have to say, and just order what you want.”
"My illness is well known in my heart, and it won't be over." The Seventeenth Aunt Huang's eyes flickered for a moment, and for a moment, Yun felt that the Seventeenth Sister must have been a dazzling beauty back then.Just as she was in a daze, the seventeenth aunt gasped again and sighed: "According to our Aixinjueluo family's Gege, there are only two people who have lived past the age of 50 since the great grandfather. I am the one with the longest lifespan. Already 63 years old, contented. Taking advantage of this breath, let me advise you a few words, are you willing to listen?"
"Well, fourteenth brother, listen up!"
"I'm a woman," Aunt Seventeen coughed dryly, and her voice became stagnant, "I shouldn't care about the messy things outside your palace, there is only an old saying 'Brothers are of one heart, and their benefits can break gold', don't you understand? The past is long gone, don't keep twisting and tearing it so that not only the future generations will see the joke, but also let the Han people see it, what's the matter with you? Forget it, let it go, don't make trouble with the emperor, he has His difficulties, when it comes to your fourth brother, he is not a bad person..." Yun didn't expect her to point her head so clearly, she couldn't help trembling in shock, and hurriedly said: "Sister Seventeen, you can rest at ease, no What’s wrong with me and the emperor’s mother and compatriots? Besides, the separation of monarchs and ministers, I dare not have any trouble.” “Forget it.” The Seventeenth Auntie patted the back of Yun’s head, stroking his thick and thick hair. She has long and smooth braids, and said with a half-smile, "Women have long hair, but do you guys have short braids? My sister told you, I underestimated you when you grow up. My sister knows which hozen is on which tree!" Among these nephews, the ones I love the most are you and the old thirteen, who followed my sister to pick pomegranates and steal pears in the imperial garden! Seeing your birth, my sister felt bad, but she dared not say a word! Now ... Now that the time of life and death has come, you can say what you can't say. To tell you the truth, the world is so big, and there is no one who can hold my shoulders and say a few words with your fourth brother firmly! I am going! , if you continue to make trouble, who can beg for you like my sister?" As she said, big tears rolled down her cheeks.
Looking at the dying Seventeenth Sister, Yun felt a pang of sadness in her heart, shed tears unknowingly, and said in a warm voice: "Sister, don't worry, don't think about it, you have a long life! I... listen to you That’s it.” I wanted to go on, but when I heard footsteps approaching outside the courtyard, I couldn’t help being stunned when I looked back, and I was going to avoid Yongzheng, but Yongzheng also came.Dozens of court ladies and eunuchs inside and outside the side hall knelt down when the emperor came in.Yun Wu's eyes blurred from tears, he glanced at Yongzheng, then knelt down beside the couch, and said: "The sinful minister is allowed to kowtow to the emperor."
"My brother, get up!" Yongzheng said, approaching Aunt Seventeen, and seeing Aunt Seventeen staring at him intently, she leaned over and sat on the side of the couch, and said softly, "Sister Seventeen... Do you feel a little better?" The seventeenth emperor nodded on the pillow, "I have seen everyone except the eldest and the second, and I feel a lot more at ease. Sigh... my sister will have a good life in a few days, and it is the former emperor. Lord, he treats me differently from other Heshuo princesses. Sometimes I smack his forehead and scold him, but he just laughs. My sister thinks about it. When it comes to the law of the country, my status is worthless, but my sister always thinks that she is a Woman, she is an old widow, she is always in front of you, and she doesn't think that you are the king of a country, don't you blame my sister?" Yongzheng said with a tearful smile: "Since ancient times, the emperor has no family happiness. Whatever you want, you can do whatever you want. In fact, it’s all in the show. Even if you have something to say, you can’t say it freely. You know that Ha Qing is dead, and your son is safe and sound. At the beginning, I could only tell my elder sister and queen mother that way. Is it difficult for me? When it comes to loneliness, the neighbors are unreliable, the six relatives are hard to recognize, and the emperor is also the first one. That is the elder sister. Myself, that's why you are sick, I feel anxious, no less than Lafayette's uneasiness—it happens these days, and I am so busy that I can't come to see you every day—this is because the imperial doctor and the servants, there are no waiters. Did you arrive?"
The seventeenth emperor coughed violently for a while, spit out another mouthful of phlegm, touched her heart with one hand, panted for a while, turned her face and said to the crowd: "You all get out! - In my capacity, how dare the servants be negligent? - —Your Majesty, don’t worry about this one. I know your brother. His face is cold, and his heart is clear. First, Aunt Su Mala and Kong Sizhen are here. They often talk about you. Even though I was young at that time, I listened to them In my heart, you are shrewd and capable, have a clear distinction between good and evil, do things without sloppiness, and trim your appearance. No one in my elder brother can compare to you. The late emperor lacked energy in his later years. In fact, this court situation is supported by you and the old thirteen. Well, my sister is not telling lies, the late emperor chose you to rule the world, and your eyesight is not bad." Then he looked at Yun who turned sideways and lowered his eyes, and then said: "But my sister does have something in her heart, you are too It's clear, do you understand?"
"Sister Seventeen!"
"Listen to me," the seventeenth imperial aunt coughed, "you don't spend as much money as the late emperor every ten stops, and you haven't heard of which concubine you love the most, and you don't drink too much alcohol. Still doing things, when it comes to diligence, the first emperor was not as good as you when he was young. The emperor keeps his promises, and he cannot lose his prestige. If he wants to make his subordinates fear, respect, love and cannot leave him, you are not as good as the late emperor!"
Yongzheng felt a wave of heat in his heart, but he felt sweet, bitter and sour.He looked at the seventeenth emperor's aunt who was sick and broken, and really wanted to express his thoughts, but the dignity and pride of the emperor stopped him, and he just sighed in his heart: How did you know that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind keeps on going!Others are not content with being a minister, how dare I be content with being a monarch without vigilance?Thinking in my heart, I said softly: "Sister, I know what you said. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. If you can tolerate it, I will try my best to tolerate it. You rest and rest. When you recover from illness, we will take care of you. Make homework!"
"Sister is going to die." Aunt Seventeen closed her eyes and murmured, "I am comforted in my heart. God has eyes. Ha Qingsheng violated the military law. My little nephew doesn't have to marry that rabbit... our royal family My aunt and grandmother are all miserable... I see you all, I see you all, only the eldest and the second child, alas..." She smacked her lips and stopped talking.
The "boss" is Kangxi's eldest son, Yun, who was imprisoned in Chengde in 47 for punishing the prince's "second" with the Nightmare Suppressing Demon Law. The "second child" is the former Prince Yun, who was deposed and imprisoned in Kangxi in 51 years, and imprisoned in the Xian'an Palace not far from here-limited by the national legal system, no matter how much the seventeen emperors thought about it, Yongzheng could not agree.Thinking about it, Yongzheng said with a smile: "Yun is a beast in clothes, what's the benefit of the seventeenth sister seeing him? The second brother... Yesterday Xian'an Palace sent a message to the Ministry of Internal Affairs that he is also sick now. In this way, I will go with the fourteenth brother I will visit him for you, and when you recover from illness, let the Lifan Court discuss his affairs again, just look at it, but there is a glimmer of light, I will never make things difficult for the second brother." Seeing that the seventeenth aunt had nothing to say, Yongzheng signaled to Yun.Yun Hui came out of the palace, turned to Yindi and said: "You just wait here, I will walk with the emperor, come back and walk together."
Yongzheng walked away, listened to Yun's words, and when he looked back, he met Yindi's eyes, and Yindi hurriedly squatted down to salute Yongzheng.Unexpectedly, when Yongzheng saw Yindi for the first time, it was like encountering a ghost suddenly in the middle of the night. He was so frightened that he took two steps back, staggered a bit before standing still, and then rubbed his eyes to look carefully.Yuncong had never seen Yongzheng's panic-stricken face before, so he couldn't help but be amazed.Seeing the emperor staring at her like this, Yindi felt embarrassed, blushed immediately, and just bowed her head in silence.After a while Yuncai said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Your face is so pale that you don't have any blood left?"
"Huh? Huh..." Yongzheng came to his senses, looked at Yindi again, looked away, walked away slowly, and slowly recovered his calm, while walking, he said: "It's nothing, now I often Suffering from dizziness, it will be fine for a while—is this girl in your room?"
Yun walked half a step later with Yongzheng, walked out of the palace to Xian'an Palace, and said, "It's my girl."
"Bought it?"
"No. She is a person involved in the Nuomin case in Shanxi. She was sent to Beijing as a witness. I saw that she was homeless and took her in."
"She... is from Shanxi?"
"It's from Daizhou, Shanxi," Yun felt startled, for fear that Yongzheng proposed to introduce his wife, and resigned because of the money, "On that day, the emperor called me back to Beijing, and I had a relationship with her in Niangziguan. She can't bear to part with me..." Immediately, he described the situation of Shanshen Temple's rescue of Yindi in a long and short way, and finally said: "The emperor knows that I don't expect to repay my kindness, so I will take her true love. She simply opened her face. What, the emperor... you?"
Yongzheng listened silently, and looked back at the large group of eunuchs and guards following him. After a long time, he took a heavy breath and said, "It's nothing, don't worry too much. I think she looks like the one who passed away... Zheng Gong People, so I was taken aback." After that, he lowered his head and put his hands behind his back, just pondering.Seeing the worry on his face, Yun seemed to be very sad. For some reason, he didn't want to ask any more questions, so he could only persuade with a smile: "There are many people who look similar in the world! How many times have you met Yin Jishan and Yang Mingshi, and sometimes I call you by the wrong name— — Your Majesty, this is the Xian'an Palace, and the second brother is... imprisoned here."
"Oh!"
Yongzheng stood still, only to realize that he was already standing at the gate of Xian'an Palace.This is a desolate partial palace located in the northeast corner of the Forbidden City. On the high palace wall, fluffy bamboo grass grows in the gaps between the yellow glazed roof tiles. The red color on the palace wall is peeling off in pieces. The Artemisia annua half a person's height was not cleared up, and the deserted desert looked like an ancient temple that had been abandoned for many years. A few gray-haired old eunuchs stood guard in front of the hanging flower gate. Seeing the emperor and the fourteenth elder brother meandering over, they panicked They all went down the steps and knelt down, kowtowed with shriveled drake voices and said: "Slaves, pay your respects to Lord Long Live!" , It has not been renovated for many years, and the paint flakes have peeled off so that the handwriting is blurred.He frowned and ordered, "Open the door."
"Zha!" several eunuchs replied in unison.
The tightly locked palace door let out a groan and was slowly pushed open.From the 51st year of Kangxi to the present, this door has been open for twelve years, charcoal is delivered in winter, ice water is delivered in summer, and vegetables, rice and noodles are delivered on weekdays.The white-headed husbands and the deposed concubines who accompanied Yun looked at each other in panic for some reason.The deposed prince Yun was in the study room, when he saw the emperor and the fourteenth elder brother coming in through the glass window, his complexion turned pale with shock, the pen in his hand fell to the ground, he walked out of the study room with trembling legs, and knelt at the door Next, he said in a trembling voice: "Sin...sin minister Yun...Kowtow to Long live Jin'an!" He bent down to kowtow, but for a while he couldn't support his body with his hands!
"Second brother," Yongzheng hurriedly stepped forward to help Yun up with both hands, and walked into the study holding hands.He felt that Yun was trembling all over, as if his hands were soaked in ice water, and he couldn't help but feel a gloomy chill, but he said: "Sit down, sit down and talk."
Yun also looked at Yun in surprise and astonishment, seeing that Yun was still wearing a silky gray poplin robe on a hot day, thick white socks were exposed in his semi-new Qimingjian shoes, his face was green and gray, as ugly as a dead person, he couldn't help feeling Also a sigh.He and Yun have been deadly enemies for decades, and the position of Prince Yun has been abolished again and again. Yun does not know how much painstaking effort and manipulation he has made in it.But seeing the "Heaven's Proud Son" who has been the crown prince for 40 years become uneasy, panicked, like a frightened child, nervously swinging his skinny body, looking at Yongzheng shyly, Yun couldn't help but feel deeply moved .He glanced at the calm and composed Yongzheng again, and thought: "How could this be? How could we be here today? The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins..."
"Yun," Yongzheng's words interrupted Yun's train of thought, "I'm going to do the family ceremony today. Please give my second brother a blessing on my behalf." Yun hurriedly responded, and was about to hit Qian'er, so panicked that Yun hurriedly supported her with both hands, He stammered and said incoherently: "This is absolutely...not allowed! Your Majesty, you...don't kill the criminals..." "There is no need to mention the words of the past." Yongzheng looked out of the door wistfully, slowly deliberating He said in words, "Although you are imprisoned here, I am really thinking about it. The king's law is the king's law, and human feelings are human feelings. You are still my second brother."
Yun bowed stiffly and deeply on the table, and said: "Your Majesty, speaking of my sins, I should have been sent to the eighteenth level of hell long ago. Now I am as dead as a dead tree. Thanks to the grace of the Emperor's rain and dew, I am able to survive and thrive. My wish is fulfilled. I only ask Buddha and Heaven to bless the emperor's dragon body and health, which will be a blessing to the people of the world and a blessing to the sinners." "I wanted to come in and see you." Yongzheng felt sad when he saw him like this and hurriedly restrained himself. He said calmly, "It has to do with the national system, and I can't help myself. I often ask people to bring things in, and I also tell them not to say that they are from me, because I don't want you to give me the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and thank me." Yes. I have worked hard on this idea, and my second brother must be considerate." Yun's eyes met Yongzheng's and he immediately dodged away. The emperor in front of him had been running errands under him for more than ten years, and he performed the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers every day. Now in his memory The center is as dim as smoke and clouds, thinking that the world is upside down and confusing, the lightning and flint are like dreams, while thinking deeply, he said: "This is the emperor's holy virtue like heaven. I am a sinful minister, but one day's life is the gift of the emperor's rain and dew. Over the years I devoted myself to Buddhism and gained quite a lot of experience. I knew that the emperor came to save all sentient beings with the golden body of the great Arhat. I had nothing to do, so I respectfully copied the three volumes of the Shurangama Sutra, the Lotus Sutra, and the Diamond Sutra. Both are Buddhist Zen classics. "Surangama Sutra" is also called "First Surangama Sutra", ten volumes. "Lotus Sutra" says that Sakyamuni wants to enable all living beings to obtain the wisdom of Buddha, that is, everyone can become a Buddha. "Vajra Sutra" "Sutra" says that the reality of wisdom lies in not being attached to the appearance of things. Zen Buddhism describes "heart" as the total color world, and advises people to enter the kingdom of heaven by doing good deeds, and to be content with the status quo, etc., which all meet the needs of feudal rulers. Buddhism was spread since the Eastern Han Dynasty Entering our country, the Sui and Tang Dynasties flourished. There are Tiantai Sect, Faxiang Sect, Huayan Sect, and Zen Sect. After the Song Dynasty, Zen Buddhism was combined with Confucianism and Taoism and became more popular. I would like to dedicate it to the emperor's birthday." After saying that, he stood up, shook the rope and took it off the top of the cabinet. Several large volumes and a thick stack of sutras.
Yun Jianyun was as dull and rigid as a hanging marionette, looking very weak, hurried forward to help hold it and put it on the case.When Yongzheng opened it to read, he saw that the same color of Zhong Wang's teeny lowercase script had no random strokes from beginning to end, and there were some shocking famous lines, with blood-piercing circles on the side. Absolutely not for this sake.Seeing the satisfied smile on Yongzheng's face, Yun pointed to the cabinet and said, "These big cabinets are all Buddhist scriptures copied by criminal ministers, but they are not as good as these. A few copies are presented for the emperor to enjoy."
"Second brother, isn't he 52 years old?" Yongzheng suddenly felt sour. "I've been imprisoned here for more than ten years. It's not a common practice. I want to move it for you. The garden you originally set up in Tongzhou I will repay it to you. This palace is too gloomy, and it is difficult for you to stay alive. Let you go out, I also have this intention, but I am afraid that it will violate the sacred will of the first emperor and be shocking. I still give you the name of prince, as long as you don’t communicate with others If you come and go, you will appreciate my painstaking efforts."
"No no no no... Oh, the guilty minister dare not accept this blessing..." Yun Ru met a snake and scorpion, shaking his hands, "That's it... that's it, the guilty minister is very at ease, I don't need anything, I don't want anything , that's the best!"
Yongzheng stood up and said, "Second brother, you can rest in peace and study, and then I will give you a decree. If you want something to use, ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to report to me, and you will never fail. Sigh... Yun, we Let's go..." As he said, he walked out with lead-filled steps, Yun sent him out of the study room, knelt down with several eunuchs, and said loudly: "Congratulations to Long Live Lord!"
"Long Live Lord? Hahaha! Hahahaha..."
Suddenly there was a ghostly howling sound from the other courtyard, as if a lunatic was running in the courtyard and shouting, "Your Majesty! Where are you? Come here and let me see what you look like? You are the king of a country, I He is the king of the house. Sovereign king...is a word, huh? Ah...hahahaha..." While shouting, while walking far away, the elf screamed in his ears: "Come here, come here! You can come here, but I can't get out! Ho-ho--"
Yun knew that over there was the Shangsi Courtyard, the stable yard where Emperor Kangxi raised horses, and the elder brother Yun had stayed in it for fifteen years.Suddenly I realized: I will also go to Zunhua to guard the spirit, why the emperor asked me to follow this ghost place alone, to meet these people and know these things?He shuddered from the bottom of his heart, and stole a glance at Yongzheng.Yongzheng was unmoved, walked forward slowly, beckoned to the eunuch at the gate of Shangsi courtyard and asked, "How long has Yun been sick?" The eunuch hurriedly kowtowed: "One and a half years."
"What's the point of yelling?" Yongzheng sternly said, "Go! Shut up the empty house first to defeat him, and call an imperial doctor to come in and see what medicine he should take. Don't wrong him."
After finishing speaking, he left, and Yun hurriedly followed.The two entered the garden from the northeast corner gate of the imperial garden. Seeing Liu Tiecheng and De Lengtai's bodyguards leading a group of Buku youths practicing kung fu, Yongzheng ordered the eunuchs behind him to leave the garden, beckoned Liu Tiecheng and De Lengtai and said, "Old man. De, you go and ask the ministers in the study room and Prince Lian to wait to see me in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. By the way, tell Fifth Brother Zhang that he and you will leave Beijing with me the day after tomorrow. Go back to the mansion for cooking today, afternoon and tomorrow, so you don’t need to come in Waiting. Tiecheng, you stay here, and I have a few words with my fourteenth brother, and you go with me."
"Yes, the slave will save it."
Yongzheng and Yun brothers were the only ones left in the lush and verdant imperial garden. In the huge imperial garden, there were gorgeous passionflowers blooming. Under the sunlight, they shone like jewels, and the thick green seemed to flow down. Roses and rosebushes are dotted with blood-red flowers, and weavers among the pansies are singing endlessly, but there is no one else.
"Your Majesty, let's say goodbye here today." Yun looked at Yongzheng in a daze and said, "The emperor will also leave for the south in the future, should I send the emperor off before leaving?"
Yongzheng didn't speak, but nodded his head as he heard.
"Your Majesty, do you have any orders?"
Yongzheng had no expression on his face, and he casually browsed the scenery in the imperial garden. After a long time, he said, "Do you remember the day when I celebrated my mother's birthday five years ago?" Bing, things are very complicated."
"Some things can't be forgotten, and shouldn't be forgotten." Probably because of the glare of the sun, Yongzheng squinted his eyes, and couldn't see any expression hidden in his eyes.But the tone was as flat as an autumn pond: "I saw the second brother today and heard the elder brother speak, and I was very touched. It was the two of us that time, but that time was in front of a grave in the wilderness outside the city. This time, it was in Tianjia Imperial Garden. This time, the spring scene has gone, and that time, the autumn scene is old. The deserted graves, wild grass, cold wind and the scene in front of me are really different."
Yun remembered that it was the 56th year of Kangxi, the birthday of Concubine De (Yongzheng and Yun's birth mother), and the two brothers worshiped Chenghuan on their knees.Concubine De tried her best to persuade a pair of enemy brothers who became political enemies.At that time, Yongzheng and Yunfang went out of the city and stayed in front of the desolate and dark wild grave to talk, but they parted ways because of their political differences.Today, when a winner is about to punish the loser, the two are reliving old stories in the Royal Garden!
"I cut down your prince, and sent you to guard the mausoleum." After some time, Yong Zhengfang gritted his fine white teeth and stared at Yun, "What do you have in mind, it's just the two of us here, why not?" Straight up."
Yun lowered his head and followed Yongzheng as he walked on the fluffy "rule grass". After thinking about it for a while, he finally realized that it would be better to speak up than to go around with this scrupulous and critical son of the emperor.Yin said: "This is a matter of course, it is imperative. When I return from Pingliang, I will prepare for it. Now that I have dealt with it like this, I am very gracious,—really, I am very gracious."
Yongzheng turned his face suddenly, his eyes flashed with surprise and suspicion, but he was not angry, he said with a half smile, "Why do you think so?" Yun Ye stared at Yongzheng with no timidity on his face, and his eyes met When the time shifted, Yun turned his eyes to the white clouds in the sky, and said: "As soon as the emperor ascended to the throne, he wrote the "Friends of the Party" with his own pen. Since the emperor called for blunt speech, my younger brother said it straight. In the emperor's heart, my younger brother is a member of the 'Baye Party'." Well!" Yongzheng looked at Yun intently, saw that he had stopped speaking, and said, "Go on, I said it, today the speaker is innocent."
Yun smiled lightly and said: "Actually, I don't have much to say. After many years of competition, the emperor came first, but the power of starlings still exists. The emperor is worried, so naturally he has to clean up one by one. So I stripped my military power and transferred my younger brother back to the capital. So called The ninth brother stayed with Gengyao last year, and the tenth brother went to Zhangjiakou. The emperor wanted to disband the 'party', so the younger brother had to go to guard the mausoleum. Before guarding the mausoleum, the emperor did not forget to take the younger brother to see the situation of the two elder brothers in the secluded palace , That is self-evident. The younger brother is dishonest in Zunhua, so he has to be prepared to become an idiot like the second brother, or a lunatic like the eldest brother. This cannot be said to be compassionate, so the younger brother said, the younger brother is really I really feel that the "emperor's grace is mighty" - because "the minister's crime should be punished"!"
"Happy!" Yongzheng nodded and smiled.His smile is childishly innocent and straightforward, and the corners of his mouth hang down slightly, with undeniable sternness and arrogance: "There are many words here, which are exactly what I want to tell you. Now that you know it, you don't have to." More to say, but you are only half right. "Clique Theory" is not aimed at the eighth younger brother, it is aimed at the habits of the Han people. I can't talk about reforming the bureaucracy!
"As for you, you consider yourself a 'Ba Ye Party', but I don't think so. Even Yun, as long as he keeps his peace, is still my brother. But who can stop me from being a good emperor, be it a brother, a father or a son, or a monarch or minister? It’s hard for me to take care of my personal affairs. I am appointed by Heaven, and I must be worthy of the emperor, heaven, queen, earth, and ancestors!"
"The reasons for stripping you of your title and asking you to study at the mausoleum are not for the 'eight masters' party.' Even if you and I are all in Beijing, I can't kill you? Can't I kill you?"
"So don't think about it, go to Zunhua, so that you can study well. Since you are in Zunhua, you should work hard on the word 'Zunhua'. In this sense, you can guess that my compassion is quite authentic."
Yongzheng talked about it in a long and eloquent way, gouging out the tendons and eviscerating the bones to analyze the principles. Yun listened to the needles hidden in the cotton and the bones in the flesh. Although there are fakes, most of them are true.Thinking about it, he sighed: "You don't need to talk about it. My younger brother will be on the road tomorrow. I must shut myself up and think about my life and study well. I will live up to the painstaking efforts of the emperor."
"That's it," Yongzheng didn't say any more, staring at the gate of the garden gloomily, and said, "Man does not fail the heaven and the earth, and the heaven and the earth do not fail the man. Do it for yourself!"
