Where there are people, there are fights, and where there are fights, there are camps. With such things as camps, there is a big problem of standing in line. It is no exception from ancient times to the present, even in the modern West, which claims to be the most democratic. The problem of standing in line under the imperial power politics - standing in the right line, that is Conglong, is a meritorious service, standing wrongly, that is treason, losing an official is still a trivial matter, losing one's head and killing nine clans is not a rare thing .

Ever since the announcement of "Holy Bow and Violation of Peace" came out from the inner court, the entire court situation has become a mess. From the princes and dignitaries to the low-ranking figures, they are all rushing to stand in line, but the problem is that the team is It's really hard to stand up, and I have to blame Mr. Kangxi for this-I am an emperor, and I don't name a successor when I'm about to die.At this juncture, on weekdays, Mr. Kangxi's few words of evaluation of you elder brothers have become anecdotes, and such things are spread all over the street, how lively it is.

Just when people were getting carried away, on April 47th, [-]th year of Kangxi, the inner court once again issued an announcement—"The dragon's body is slightly peaceful", followed by a strict decree, strictly ordering all officials in the court not to discuss the holy body, and ordered The governors from all over the country came to Beijing to pay respects to the saint in batches, but after the governors from all over the place came, they neither called to see nor let them go, which made people very confused.The matter was dragged on like this, after July, the governors who came early have stayed in the capital for two and a half months. Just when people were blindly suspicious, Mr. Kangxi suddenly showed up, although he was not in good spirits, But he was still able to walk, and even went to court early.

Morning court is morning court, although I haven't had morning court for more than half a year, but you guys have been used to morning court for so many years, isn't it a morning court?It's nothing unusual, the problem is that this early court is really weird. Mr. Kangxi didn't let the courtiers come to this chapter to discuss matters at all. At the beginning of the morning court, everyone shouted long live three times, but they never heard Mr. Kangxi call. He heard Li Dequan, the eunuch in charge of ceremonies, throw a series of "blockbusters" in his shrill voice, which knocked the heads of all civil and military officials kneeling on the hall.

"By God's favor, the emperor's edict said: The minister of the study, Prince Yi Yin, was sloppy in his writing, his handwriting was sloppy, and I was deeply disappointed. He was removed from the posts of the minister of the study and the minister of the guard, thinking that he had made great contributions to the country, and he would not be punished. Let me read behind closed doors..."

"Following the heavens, the emperor ordered: Prince Cheng Yinzhi will always lose something every time he arranges a ceremony, and he can't be perfect, so he will be exempted from the Ministry of Rites, fined his salary for half a year, and think about his mistakes at home..."

"...Yongjun Wang Yinzhen is in charge of the household department. Every time he makes many mistakes, he actually transfers the moldy grain and grass to the former enemy. I am really disappointed. I want to avoid the household department's errand..."

"... Ma Qi, the minister of the study, misbehaved, dealt with the case of setting off cannons and erecting flags in the Dehua Mansion of Quanzhou, disobeyed my words, and approved the document to go on the offensive without authorization, and ordered the minister of the study, the prince Taibao, the minister of the guards, Wenyuange University Books such as scholars and other positions, handed over to Dali Temple for investigation..."

"... Li Guangdi, the Minister of the Shangshufang, attached Yinfeng to the party and tried to abolish the crown prince. His crime is unforgivable. He sent him to serve in the Ussuri Taiwan Army. He thought that he was old and sick, so he was allowed to return to his old age. He wrote to Quanzhou Prefecture Yousi Strict supervision, not allowed to leave home unless ordered..."

"... Zhang Tingyu, the minister of the study room, has been with him for many years. He has made no achievements, and the owner is dishonest. He should have strictly discussed it. If he thinks it is not a big mistake, he will be demoted two levels. He will go to the study room with the second rank to see the effect..."

"...Fang Bao is a Confucian scholar, and I'm on my side. The kindness is not insignificant, but he hopes to be honored, and he is not comfortable in his position. He wants to be sent back to his hometown, and handed over to the local officials for strict supervision..."

"... Li Zhenyu, the minister of the Shangshufang, who is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, does not seek to have faults, but seeks to have no faults. However, every time there are too many delays, I am deeply disappointed. He is relieved of the concurrent duties of the Minister of the Shangstufang, the Minister of the Guards, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and handed over to Dali. The temple strictly investigates..."

... Shi Shilun, Yu Chenglong, Fan Shijie, and Xu Chao were all able-bodied officials, all of whom were locked up and sent to prison.

One after another decree made all the officials dumbfounded. The big guys watched in amazement as the Ouchi guards on duty in the Qianqing Palace swarmed in, dragged Ma Qi, Li Zhenyu and others to the ground, and dragged them out without hesitation, not a single courtier Dare to stand up and call for their grievances. Everyone is confused. They don't know if the old man Kangxi has his head in the water today. None of the important officials were spared, and they were all punished. Dangerous, no one dared to look up at the face of Mr. Kangxi.

After a series of imperial decrees were announced, the courtiers who had not been punished just took a breath, secretly glad that they did not suffer any disaster, and were considering whether to join the Holy One, when something happened, they heard the eunuch Li Dequan hoarse Shouted loudly: "Retire!"

What?This is the retreat?When the big guy looked up again, the figure of Mr. Kangxi had long since disappeared from the dragon chair, and then he got up in a panic, and went out of the palace talking a lot, but they were all very careful, and no one dared to talk about the so-called Regarding the problem of standing in line, I am afraid that people will get involved, and it will definitely end up being boarded.

A large number of ministers who were close to Yinzuo fell down, but Yinzuo didn't care at all. The old man sent these people to prison, and his intention was to prevent them from participating in the team. If they were in the wrong team, they would be unlucky. Even if you are on the right team, there will inevitably be the possibility of taking credit for pride. After such a test, there will be no problems. Once the new king succeeds, an edict will release these people. This kindness will be great. Under the great grace of the emperor, why should this group of cadres devote their lives to the new king?These decrees have confirmed from one aspect that Mr. Kangxi's body is exhausted, otherwise it would be impossible to do such absurd things. On this point, Yin Zuo had already discussed this with Wu and Lin. , I knew it very well, so naturally I didn't care. What Yinzuo is worried about now is how long the old man can last.

How long can the old man Kangxi last? I'm afraid no one can answer this question. All the imperial doctors said that the time of the emperor is numbered, but the old man is still holding on, which makes a group of elder brothers anxious Like ants, not only the elder brothers in the capital are in a hurry, but also the old thirteen and fourteen who are leading the soldiers outside. These two brothers go back and forth between the army and the court three times a day. There is no military affairs to report, just to inquire about the condition of the old man Kangxi. Everyone is waiting for the day when the old man Kangxi goes. The problem is that the old man just refused to die. Don’t you think this is annoying? ?
Since the third day of August in the 47th year of Kangxi, after the old man went to court for the last time, the entire court situation has stabilized, but there is a backlog of political affairs. Living in Changchun Garden, not to mention criticizing papers, receiving courtiers, even my elder brothers can’t see the old man’s face when they enter the garden to say hello, and now only Zhang Tingyu is left with a group of ministers in the study. The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry, and the Customs have all lost their heads. The government bureau is basically a stagnant water, and all officials, big and small, have been lazy.

These days, it can be said that Yin Zuo has had the most leisure time since he set foot in court, at least on the surface, that is, he doesn’t need to go to court, he doesn’t need to manage politics, and he doesn’t have to fight each other with brothers , since it was ordered to study behind closed doors, Yin Zuo simply didn't even see the ministers who came to visit, either hanging out with his wives and concubines, or checking his sons' homework, or messing around with Princess Yixue, ignoring everything It looks like he is very carefree, anyway, the preparations that should be made have been made long ago, the manpower that should be arranged has also been arranged long ago, everything is ready, and it is only due to Dongfeng. If you are busy, why not have some fun in time?
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the end of November in the 47th year of Kangxi, and the snow has already fallen several times. After changing clothes and freshening up under the service of Mr. Chunlan, he was accompanied by Chunlan for breakfast. He was just thinking about whether he should accompany Princess Yixue to the back garden to build a snowman and have a snow fight or something, so he came suddenly A little maid reported out of breath, "Master, the imperial edict has arrived."

imperial decree?Yinzuo was stunned for a moment, and he didn't care to put down the silver chopsticks in his hand. He stood up suddenly and confessed to the little maid: "Go, tell the two counselors, Wu and Lin, to go to the inner study to prepare the ceremony. This king will go to receive the order right away." As soon as he finished speaking, he casually threw the chopsticks in his hand on the ground, ignoring Xiao Yixue's coquettishness, and hurriedly walked towards the gate.

It was Li Dequan, an old acquaintance, who came to deliver the decree. Yin Zuo took a deep breath, knelt down in front of the incense table that had been set up, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, not knowing what the old man's decree was about.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said: Prince Yi Yinzuo immediately enters the Changchun Garden to face the saint. I respect you!" Li De finished reading the edict expressionlessly, with his eyes downcast, refusing to accept the bank note Yinzuo handed over, just He said lightly: "My lord, please, the Holy Majesty is waiting for you."

Damn! What's the matter with the old man in such a hurry to find me?Damn it, Li Dequan doesn't want money anymore, this dog has changed his habit of eating shit, damn it, the old man is setting up a grand feast for me, right?Although Yin Zuo is a master of martial arts and rarely meets opponents, he is not so conceited to escape from the siege of a group of big internal guards. No matter what others say, Mr. Chen Tianyuan alone is enough for him to drink a pot .

It was a cold day, and Yinzuo was in a hurry, sweating all over his head. He glanced at the group of guards behind Li De's body, but found that they were very strange, all of them were pale and beardless, obviously they were all eunuchs pretending to be eunuchs Yes, but everyone's eyes are shining brightly, obviously they all have good internal strength, such a big movement made Yinzuo feel suspicious, and he pondered for a while: "I got up late today, it's not useless." After breakfast, I was really hungry, Eunuch Li waited for a while, and this king asked my servant to pass a message, can I bring some breakfast to use on the road?"

"My lord, there is an imperial dining room in the garden, so my lord can use it in the garden." Li Dequan said uncompromisingly.

Grandma, what the hell is this doing?Escorting prisoners is not the same way.Yinzuo was angry, but it was not easy to explode on the spot. After thinking for a while, he turned around and confessed to Qingsong who was following him: "Qingsong, you don't have to follow, go back to the mansion and confess that the king is not necessarily When I come back for lunch, I don’t need my king’s share.” Qing Song is Yinzuo’s number one expert, if he follows him into the garden, Yinzuo will really be called out every day, and the ground is not working, it’s better Allowing him to stay and let Wu and Lin make arrangements for his use would be of great help.

Qingsong's martial arts is not inferior to Chen Tianyuan's, but much stronger than Yin Zuo's. He naturally found that the so-called big inner guards of the gang are all eunuchs, and they are eunuchs with strong martial arts. Hearing Yin Zuo's words, he understood The meaning in it, didn't say much, just bowed and promised, then turned around and went back to the palace.

After Qingsong went away, Yinzuo breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to Li Dequan, and drank: "Get up the bridge!" He bowed and entered the big sedan chair, accompanied by a group of school captains and captains Then go to the Changchun Garden outside the city.

The garden is still the same garden, and the guards are still those soldiers who are good at battling the camp, and there is no martial law, everything is still the same, but because of the snow, Changchun Garden is a large expanse of whiteness, not at all. You can't see the green trees and flowers in the past, but there is a sense of bleakness in the solemnity.Yinzuo got off the sedan chair at the gate of the garden, stomped his feet in the snow beside the sedan chair a few times, laughed and chatted with the soldiers of Shanpuying who came forward to search him, and then followed Li Dequan to the depths of the garden , but what makes Yinzuo strange is that the direction of walking is not the direction of the old man's residence - Yanbo Zhishuang Pavilion, but towards the center of the garden.

As the minister of the upper study and the prince, it is not the first time Yin Zuo has entered Changchun Garden. He is very familiar with the garden, but he has never been in the middle of the garden, but he only knows that there is a small lake there. , there is a small island on the lake, but I don't know what is on the island - the place has always been heavily guarded, and even a person like Yinzuo can't get close to it, but now Li Dequan is actually taking him to the small lake , Yinzuo couldn't help but feel suspicious, and his hands were suddenly wet with sweat...
