Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 183

The prince Yinfeng was abolished; the elder brother Yinti was kept in captivity; the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang who was originally the most favored was kicked out of the palace without even a title; the fourteenth elder brother was still young, and there was no one at all Look, in this way, the eyes of all the courtiers are focused on the five princes, the third elder brother Yinzhi, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, the sixth elder brother Yinzuo of Yijun, the eighth elder brother Yinhu, and the fourteenth elder brother Yinti. brother.

The third elder brother is gentle and elegant, with outstanding literary talents; the fourth elder brother is resolute and straightforward; the sixth elder brother is both civil and military, with outstanding military exploits, and is the only prince among the elder brothers; Although it is small, it has a bright future. It is up to you to decide who should be protected and who should not be protected. Of course it is good to protect the right one, but if it happens...the consequences will be a bit unbearable. I don't know who the holy will belongs to, and I feel helpless, so I can only go to the door to find out the news, so the whole officialdom in the capital is chaotic and out of order.

At this juncture, Mr. Kangxi's comments on his elder brothers on weekdays have become clues for the courtiers to study desperately. All the officials in the court are very busy all of a sudden. Why is the third elder brother knowledgeable? The fourth elder brother has the courage to do things, the sixth elder brother has repeatedly made outstanding achievements in literary and military affairs, the eighth elder brother is eager to help others, has the title of ancient sage, and the fourteenth elder brother has won the sacred heart. But it was all middle and low-level officials messing around, all the important officials closed their doors to thank the guests, thinking hard, only the two old masters, Wang Jie and Miao Tong, were running around and contacting each other, trying to gather all the officials to play Baoyinfeng , but there are very few applicants, and I haven't found many like-minded people after busying for a long time.

The courtiers are busy in one way, but the older brothers are in another way: the third elder brother is busy with the literary meeting, and declares that he will publish a "Songhe Anthology", which gathers a large group of literati, poets, and talented scholars in the capital. The famous people held seminars on poetry and articles, and the capital was full of sourness for a while, doggerel and sour essays were spread all over the capital; the door of the eighth elder brother was wide open, and all the visitors were guests, and there was an endless stream of court officials who came to visit. Although the brothers of the old eighth son did not express their intention to choose the green palace, their actions clearly told the big guy that he is the real prince; The county king supported the fourteenth elder brother to enter Yuqing Palace; the servants of the fourth elder brother also moved one after another, and they came together with the two masters, Wang Jian and Miao Tong, and it was also under the banner of Baoyinfeng; I don't see any movement from Yinzuo alone.

Yinzuo's powerful courtiers are all aware of it. There are not a few courtiers who tried to go to Yijun's palace to inquire about news. Unfortunately, none of the courtiers could see Yinzuo, and all the answers they got were the same—the prince occasionally felt the cold, so he didn't see him. Foreigners, not only that, but Yinzuo's servants are also safe and honest, and did not participate in this farce. They are all just like their masters - sick, thanking guests behind closed doors.

The night of September 40nd in the 22th year of Kangxi was destined to be a turbulent night. In this turbulent season, no court official could sleep soundly. The prostitutes and other romantic venues were suddenly full, and the big and small officials rushed to the venue, weighing the news over and over again, secretly comparing and weighing in their hearts, some were full of energy, and some were worried about gains and losses There are also those who take advantage of the opportunity to sell information for profit, which is indeed a record of officialdom.

Tong Guowei, as the chief minister of the study, is the minister on duty today. He has been busy all day, and he didn't return to the mansion until it was dark. Brother Jiu Yinyu came to visit, feeling irritable in his heart, he waved his hand and said, "Let's just say I'm resting, please come back another day." He stopped the housekeeper and asked, "Wait a minute, how many people did Master Jiu bring?"

"Master, Master Jiu is alone, without even a guard." The housekeeper bowed and replied.

"Oh?" Tong Guowei nodded, thought for a while and said, "Master Jiu, please wait in the lobby. If there are still people coming to the door, tell me that the old man is resting. Let's talk about things tomorrow. Go."

The butler left in a hurry, and Tong Guowei wandered around the study for a long time with his head down, until the butler came to report that Mr. Jiu had already taken his seat in the lobby, Tong Guowei sighed as if he had just woken up from a dream, and hurried to the lobby.

"Tong Zhongtang is busy with many things. Master Ninth, I came here today uninvited. I have disturbed you so much. Forgive me, forgive me." Old Jiu Yinzhen was the first to speak when he saw Tong Guowei in casual clothes.

"Hey, what is Jiuye talking about? I really can't afford it. Please sit down, Jiuye." Tong Guowei bowed and smiled.

Yinzhen sat down but didn't say a word, just smiled and shook the folding fan in his hand, as if he just came to visit for tea, Tong Guowei's heart was pounding, all the elder brothers under Mr. Kangxi's knees were not For those who are idle, Tong Guowei has been in the court for a long time, so how can he not know, although he doesn't know what Yinzhen intends to say at the moment, but the reason for his visit is obvious, it must be for the affairs of the court in the future.Tong Guowei is an old fox. Seeing that Yinzhen didn't speak, he didn't speak, and just kept laughing along with him. The atmosphere in the lobby became a little weird.After a while, Yinzhen closed the folding fan with a smile, reached out and took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Tong Guowei, and said with a smile: "Uncle Guo, someone asked me to show you something, haha, The words here are very interesting, Uncle Guo might as well take a look."

A trace of doubt flashed in Tong Guowei's eyes, he hesitated for a while, but he still reached out and took the letter. Looking at the lights in the hall, he was sweating profusely - there was only one memorial in the letter, which was written by Tong Guowei's eldest son The various serious crimes committed by the , second, and third sons: selling officials and lords, extortion, and even reaching into the examination room to seek fame for others, the words are convincing, and the evidence is complete.Tong Guowei's hand trembled slightly, and the letter paper rustled in the quiet room, which was particularly harsh.

The Tong family is full of wealth and wealth, known as "Tong Banchao". One is a noble concubine, the Tong family can be said to be one of the most famous families among the royal relatives in the Xi Dynasty, and since the fall of Suo'etu, the Tong family has become the first royal family.Tong Guowei had three sons, all of whom were officials in the court. However, the eldest son and the second son were useless and mediocre. Only the third son, Longkoduo, had always been a holy family member. He was less than 35 years old and was already a first-class bodyguard next to Mr. Kangxi.

Tong Guowei has never cared much about his eldest son and second son, but he has high hopes for his third son, Long Keduo. The prosperity and wealth of the Tong family in the future will all depend on Long Keduo. Tong Guowei couldn't help being surprised by Kodo's involvement in the fraud case in the examination room, and his mind was shaken by it. It took him a long time to force himself to suppress the shock in his heart, and said with a smile: "Master Jiu, this is all nonsense. Just laugh it off."

"Hehe, whether it's true or not, there will naturally be a judgment, what does Uncle Guo think?" Yinzhen said with a smile.

"That's, that's, hehe, I don't know what Jiu Ye means..." Tong Guowei asked with a smile.

"Oh, it's not a big deal." Yinzhen unfolded the folding fan "swipely", and said with a smile: "The sage takes care of everything every day, and we, as sons, should share the sage's worries, right? Whether it is the public opinion or the official opinion, he is the best candidate to share the worries of the Holy One, what does Uncle Guo think?"

"Oh, that's, that's, the old man thinks so, but..." Tong Guowei stopped suddenly, didn't speak, just smiled.

Yinzhen smiled lightly, took out a stack of things from his sleeve again and handed it over, Tong Guowei took it over, glanced at it, and immediately laughed and said: "Well, this matter is important, I have to discuss it with my disciples, so How are you?" Tong Guowei's implication was that he would support the eighth master, and he would communicate with the sect. Yinzhen is a sober person, so he naturally knew what he heard, so he didn't stay too long, so he got up and left with a smile.Tong Guowei didn't send it far away. After Yinzhen went, he picked up the stack of materials in his hand and looked at it for a while, lost his concentration, sighed, put the materials on the lamp and burned them, and silently uttered to the pile of ashes. in a daze...

Busy, busy, busy, everyone is very busy, the capital under the night is very busy, there are countless transactions and gatherings, Yinzuo is not idle, but unlike other brothers, Yinzuo is not busy supporting him, he has already understood the old man's plan - anyone who jumps happily at this moment will be in bad luck, and naturally Yinzuo will not participate in those destructive activities. What Yinzuo has to do is to rectify the "Honghu".

Since Yinzuo was exempted from the mission, he no longer participated in the government affairs, and he did not communicate with the courtiers in private. Most of the sources of news came from "Honghu". Zuo's "eyes" and "ears", if Yin Zuo has experience in his previous life in this drama of abolishing the prince, I am afraid it will not be so easy to pass the test. The fun will be great, so Yin Zuo had to use the last trump card "back arrow".
