On November 47th, 27th year of Kangxi, at [-]:[-] pm, the snow fell heavily, and the wind and furious snow swept everything like a goose feather. Several huge charcoal pots were lit inside, but Yin Xiang, who was the commander of the first army, still felt that he was terribly cold. The cold was not due to the heavy snow or the cold weather, but the cold from the inside out.

Glancing at the two notes on the table in front of him, Yinxiang's tightly locked brows were even more wrinkled, as if he had knocked over a bottle of five flavors in his heart, with mixed feelings and mixed flavors—as an elder brother, Even though he is an elder brother without a title, he is still an elder brother after all. As long as he is an elder brother, who can not miss the big position?It's not that Yinxiang doesn't have the idea of ​​self-reliance in his heart, but he also knows that it's just a delusion. With the [-] unreliable troops in his hands, it is impossible to seize the throne-the army is a strong army. Although the army who has been training for more than a year has not seen blood, its combat effectiveness is still good. The problem is that Yinxiang is not sure of commanding the whole army to rebel. Not to mention anything else, most of the gang under him are brothers. As a confidant, Yinxiang can completely control only a few battalions of troops, how can he win the battlefield if the army is not in the same spirit?
Ever since receiving the letters from Feige sent by Yinzuo and Yinzhen brothers, Yinxiang has been thinking hard for more than an hour in the big tent, and Yinxiang has already thought about everything he can think of. What should be considered has already been considered clearly. If it continues to drag on, it will definitely not be able to reach the capital in time. Now it is time to make a decision. Yinxiang gritted his teeth, stood up abruptly, and shouted at Gesh standing at the door Ha ordered: "Come here, beat the drums and gather the generals!" Following the military order, the huge drum in the middle of the camp suddenly rang, and the camp suddenly erupted, and the commanders of each camp rushed out of their places The tents swarmed towards the main tent, and the soldiers of each battalion, amidst the orders of the officers and assistants, formed a formation in the open space of the camp despite the heavy snow all over the sky, and a murderous spirit permeated the barracks... …

The winter night comes early, but it’s just the right time of the year. It’s completely dark, and there are very few pedestrians on the snowy streets. To get a little warmth, isn't it?But at such a freezing time, dozens of horsemen and horses rushed out of Changchun Garden, divided into several routes, and went to the homes of princes and ministers to announce the decree——Mr. Kangxi’s dragon body has just recovered, and tomorrow To offer thanks to the heavens, officials of the fifth rank and above in Beijing must go to the Changchun Garden to order the mausoleum at Maoshi to pray for the Holy One.As soon as the news came out, all the officials were shocked. They all thought that the Holy Majesty had passed the difficult time and was expected to recover. The entire capital was full of joy. However, this kind of celebration was just the joy of those who did not know the inside story. All the well-informed people knew that the Holy Majesty was no longer alive. Already, tomorrow is probably the day when the will will be announced, and all the preparations that need to be made are going on quietly in secret.

At the moment of You, a well-covered carriage quietly drove into the "Honghu" headquarters in the heavily guarded Shizikou Hutong. Except for a listless coachman, the whole carriage had no signs, but there was no sign of it. Under any inspection, the patrolmen guarding the alley seemed to have not seen it, and let the carriage slowly pass by, reaching the gate of the compound.

"Here we are!" the coachman said softly, his figure flashed, and the person had landed on the ground at some point, he stretched out his hand to lift the door curtain on the carriage, and respectfully waited for the people on the carriage to get off.

"Is this right here?" With a crisp voice, a pair of young men and women walked out of the carriage together. The man was dressed in a satin padded jacket, covered with a white fox fur vest, and wore a tiger skin melon hat, with a bookish air; Dressed in a cheongsam in palace attire, with a Firefox scarf around her neck, and her round cheeks, she looked rich and powerful.

"Yes, please come to Jiugege, the prince is waiting inside." The coachman bent down respectfully and made a gesture of invitation.

"I'm sorry." Wen Xian nodded his head, pulled Ercheng's forehead, and followed the servants who greeted them to the depths of the courtyard.

"Sixth brother, what's the matter with Huang Ama, tell me." Wen Xiangege opened his mouth to ask Yinzuo when he saw Yinzuo who was standing at the entrance of the hall.

"Jiumei, Efu, sit in the room, it's not too late to talk slowly." Yinzuo smiled gently, let the Jiugege couple into the room, and sat down as guests and hosts. Brewed tea was served.

"Brother Six, there is a message from the front palace, saying that the big guy is going to enter the garden early tomorrow morning to pray for Huang Ama, and that Huang Ama has just recovered from his dragon body, but the little girl is not at ease in her heart. What's going on? Sixth brother invited little sister here for what purpose?" Jiugege tea didn't drink, and a series of cannonballs came out as soon as he sat down.

"Nine sisters, don't worry." Yinzuo's eyes turned red, and he said with a hint of sadness: "Huang Ama is about to make a big success, and tomorrow will be the day when Huang Ama declares her will. There is a decree, and it will be passed on to my brother."

"Ah. Huang Ama..." Jiugege couldn't help but burst into tears. Although Ercheng who was sitting on the side had a look of compassion, he still held his breath and silently held Wen Xiangege's hand. Holding his hand, he comforted in a low voice: "Ge Ge, the old man is going to leave, he should be sad, but the prince needs your help right now, don't cry."

Well, this brother-in-law Jiu is not bad, he has a very quick mind, yes, he can be cultivated.Yin Zuo nodded secretly, but did not say a word.

"Sixth brother, my little sister has lost her composure. Huang Ama is leaving, and my little sister is sad, but my brother is finally going to take over, and my little sister is a little happy for my sixth brother. Congratulations to my sixth brother. Anything that needs my little sister to do, No matter what the Sixth Brother orders, the younger sister will do everything she can to accomplish it!" Wen Xiangege's personality was already strong, and even though he was still crying at this time, his expression became resolute.

"That's good." Yinzuo nodded and said, "Brother, here is a copy of the military transfer letter from Huang Ama, but the sixth brother does not intend to use it. I invite Jiumei to let you use the military transfer letter to stop it." The possible actions of Xishan Jianrui Battalion, as long as Erming can stand still tomorrow, even if he has made a great contribution, the sixth brother has always been generous with rewards, this should be clear to the ninth sister." As soon as Yin Zuo finished his sentence, he put a hand on the table next to him. A copy of the imperial decree was handed over.

Before Wen Xiangege moved, Ercheng got up, knelt down on the ground, took the imperial decree from Yinzuo with both hands, and replied respectfully: "My lord, Erming is the third elder brother of the lower official." , I have always been on good terms with the officials, and if the officials are willing to go out of the city, they will surely disappoint the prince!"

"Okay!" Yinzuo stretched out his hand to support Ercheng, smiled and said, "It's best to go with a wish, my king has someone escort you out of the city, and walk through Dongzhimen."

"Brother Six, my younger sister is going too!" Wen Xian stood up abruptly and said, "Brother Six, my younger sister has been able to ride horses and bows since she was a child. How can my younger sister be missing from such a big event?"

"This..." Although Ercheng is Erming's younger brother, being a lobbyist at such a time is still very risky, and Yinzuo couldn't bear to let Wen Xiangege take risks in the heavy snow.

"Sixth brother, don't hesitate, time is running out, my little sister is going to set off now, and Huang Ama will ask my brother to help my little sister to do my best." Wen Xiangege planned to run out without hesitation, seeing Yin Zuo shook his head, smiled bitterly and said, "Jiumei, how can you get on a horse wearing this cheongsam? If you want to go, you have to change clothes first." Wen Xian looked at his palace attire, embarrassed He stuck out his tongue, blushing with embarrassment.

At [-]:[-] pm, the night was not too deep, but the bustle of the past had quietly disappeared in the capital, and most of the people had already fallen asleep. It was cold and snowing, and no one wanted to be here. When it's time to go out, the business of restaurants and brothels, which used to be crowded with people, has become much quieter.Others may have the blessing of sleeping late, but Erut can't, not only himself, but most of the officers and soldiers belonging to the nine-door admiral's office don't have this blessing-since the day before yesterday, the nine-door admiral of the capital was ordered to enter a state of combat readiness , although the reason is unknown, but the big guy knows it in his heart: the Holy One is going to be the emperor.

Erut was in an extremely irritable mood. Although the brightly lit nine-door admiral's office was considered spacious, Erut still felt extremely oppressed. As the old man's personal soldier, he has never participated in the games of the brothers, and he doesn't have much contact with the brothers. Even if his younger sister married Jiubeile Yinzhen as the side Fujin, he didn't pay much attention to Yinzhen. He knew very well in his heart that Mr. Kangxi appointed him as the admiral of the Nine Gates just because he took a fancy to his position of not interacting with his brothers. In the past few years, in order to prevent the brothers from stuffing people into the Nine Gates Admiral's Yamen, he spent a lot of time. I have tried my best and offended a lot of elder brothers. In the past, such a position would not be a big deal, but the problem is that now that Mr. Kangxi is leaving, which elder brother should stand on has become a big problem , has always lingered in Erut's mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.

A few days ago, Jiubeile kept coming to the door, saying a lot of hints, but they were all concealed by Erut, and he never made a clear statement.Erut has been waiting, waiting for the imperial edict from Mr. Kangxi, but unfortunately: up to this time, he has not waited for the edict, and Erut's patience is about to be worn out. I feel a little restless in my heart - after the matter is completed, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Governor of Liangjiang will choose one, and the conditions of Baye's side are not difficult, but the requirement is to close the nine doors and not let anyone go. One person leaves Beijing.Although it is somewhat difficult to do this, it is not too difficult. Erlute thinks that he is [-]% sure that he can do it-there are not many brothers in the nine-door admiral's yamen, and Erlute only needs to get together At that time, taking down the unreliable generals would be considered a success, but the question is, can Ba ​​Ye succeed?Erut was a little uncertain, after all, Erut had seen Prince Yi's methods many times.

"Who? Stop!" Just as Erut was thinking wildly, there was the sound of patrolling outside the yamen. Erut waved his hand without hesitation, and led a group of Goshhas to greet him.

"My lord, this is how you treat guests? Haha, this king can't bear it." A man wearing a big hat and followed by two or three plainclothes guards said with a smile and lowered his head.

My king?Erut was stunned for a moment, and took a closer look by the light of the torch. It turned out that Prince Yi Yinzuo had arrived in person. He was startled, stepped forward hurriedly, and said, "I'll see the prince. I don't know that the prince is here. , I have lost my way, and I have the duty of a subordinate official, so I can't fully salute, so I still look forward to Haihan."

"Very good." As soon as Yin Zuo saw that Erut was neither arrogant nor humble, he nodded appreciatively, and said with a smile: "This king is here on official business." Yin Zuo said it was official business, but did not show any The token did not explain what official business it was, so Erut could not help but feel suspicious in his heart. After a long while, he came back to his senses, gritted his teeth and said: "Since the prince has official business, please show the official letter or imperial decree, otherwise please forgive me." The official is rude, so I won't invite the prince into the yamen for a detailed discussion."

Hehe, this kid is quite principled, interesting!Yinzuo smiled lightly, without saying much, took out a gold token from his sleeve, and threw it to Erut casually.

This golden order is not too big, it is about one foot long, two inches wide, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, with a word "Ling" engraved on the front, two characters "Yu Ci" engraved on the back, and a line of small characters—— - "If I come in person".Others may not recognize this golden command arrow, but Erut is a person who knows the goods. He recognized the origin of this golden command arrow with just one glance. Said: "I respectfully ask the prince to show me."

Yinzuo nodded, stretched out his hand to take back the gold order but didn't speak, walked past Etru, and entered the lobby of the nine-door admiral's yamen, Etru got up, whispered to his Ge Shiha confessed a few words, and followed into the lobby of the yamen alone, standing aside with his hands down, silently waiting for Yinzuo's order...
