The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 205
When Kangxi returned to Luan in early September, Zhang Tingyu naturally followed him. When Gu Huaishu saw him enter the room, he almost didn't recognize him as a whole.

He was full of travel and dust, and he was very thin. She even felt that he had two more gray hairs, but Zhang Tingyu's eyes were very bright, very bright.

When he stepped into the door, Gu Huaishu almost thought that the eyes in his eyes were unsheathed treasured swords, which were frighteningly bright and had a chilly air.

But he entered the door, sat down in the room, and then closed his eyelids, and the lights and swords were all extinguished in a blink of an eye.

Gu Huaixiu knew about the disappearance of the Eighteenth Elder Brother Yinzhen, and the news that the crown prince was abolished almost came back at this moment.

After not seeing him for more than two months, Gu Huaishu looked at Zhang Tingyu and hurriedly ordered someone to fetch water.

But when she lowered her eyes, she saw Zhang Tingyu's swollen fingers on her right hand. She stretched out her hand and grasped it, but felt extremely stiff, almost like a claw: "What's wrong with your hand?"

It took Zhang Tingyu a long time before he calmed down.

When he opened his eyes, his brilliance was exhausted, but the feeling of palpitation just now still lingered in Gu Huaixiu's heart, lingering.

"The eighteenth prince died of illness. The emperor reprimanded the princes and brothers. He was so angry that he suffered a slight stroke. He couldn't write with his right hand. Only Wu Shi and I helped with the work. Mr. Li Guangdi was getting old and couldn't bear it..."

Zhang Tingyu was really tired this time, thinking of the thrilling days these days, he really wished he could fall asleep.

But he still has a lot of things to deal with. Now that the whole capital is in turmoil and changes, many things have not yet been implemented.

Now that Kangxi is still in Changchun Garden, he will only return to Luan on an auspicious day, not to mention supporting the eighteenth prince's coffin back.

All the princes have gathered around Kangxi, but Kangxi doesn't want to talk to anyone now.

The Eighteenth Prince is his little elder brother, who has always been in Kangxi's hands. Zhang Tingyu even went to the study to give him lectures, but he didn't expect that he would be gone if he said it was gone. He was frolicking in front of Huang Ama...

What a joke.

Ever since the emperor became angry, Zhang Tingyu basically read the memorials in the capital to the emperor. After listening to the emperor, he asked Zhang Tingyu to approve the memorials. Ideas, or ask a few close ministers with you.After the eighteenth elder brother fell ill, almost everything was handled by Zhang Tingyu.

Zhang Tingyu was a Han official, and the Wu family was a Manchu. The two of them were still working under Li Guangdi in name, but Li Guangdi's eyes could no longer see clearly, and all the affairs of the Han minister fell on Zhang Tingyu's shoulders.

Hundreds of memorials are piled up, and sometimes the emperor is very angry, and he has to follow up to draft an order for the emperor.

Zhang Tingyu wrote the several scriptures and edicts from outside the Great Wall and Rehe in early September.

Looking at his hand now, it was almost non-stop grabbing the pen, and it was too stiff to make a second position.

He raised his hand and touched Gu Huaixiu's forehead with the other hand, only smiled: "Why are you crying, it's a good thing no one else can ask for."

"What kind of good thing is this?"

At this moment, Gu Huaixiu became self-willed and didn't bother to talk to him, so he just asked Bai Lu Qingdai to bring hot water.

She has never seen such a person who doesn't know how to cherish herself: "You are not the only one who went to the Hanlin Academy under the South Study Room. Why do you work the most? I don't believe that other people can do as well as you. "

"My hands are amazing."

Zhang Tingyu smiled and saw that she took a soft silk handkerchief from the side, dipped it in hot water from the basin, and slowly wiped her hands.

The hot air came up slowly, and even the meridians in the hands became alive. The stiffness that had been holding the pen for a few days and reining in the rein for a few days finally began to gradually disappear.

Gu Huaixiu's hands are very soft, they are still the most beautiful after all these years, while wiping his hands, looking at the cinnabar filled in the crevices of his nails, first wiped it with a handkerchief, but left it alone for a while, then He called someone to take the needle, but he didn't use the tip of the needle. He changed the needle to pick it up, and then asked someone to change a basin of water to soak his hands.

Zhang Tingyu pressed his hands into the copper basin, moved his fingers lightly, and thought of the events of the past few days, one after another, extremely thrilling.

The nails on most of his fingers are very round, and they are trimmed all year round. Only sometimes he turns over the folded papers and pinches the pages, so there is a slightly two-point nail left on the thumb of his right hand, and the nail on the little finger of his left hand is also left. Come out, some long.

Looking closely at his hands, they are no different from Zhang Ying back then, and also similar to Li Guangdi who often served in the South Study Room.There are also thick calluses on the parts of the right hand that rub against when holding the pen.

These are the hands of the civil servants, the hands of the close ministers of Nanshufang, and even the hands of the future court minister, Zaifu.

Gu Huaishu just stood by and watched. When he saw him soaking his hands, his expression was calm, as if he was thinking about something and didn't bother him, but for some reason, there was a lot of sourness in his eyes.

Zhang Tingyu only said in a deep voice: "I'm willing to give up, I'm not reluctant. Why do you care so much?"

"It's easier said than done, if I suddenly grow old one day, you see me, it's like I see your hands now..." Gu Huaishu sighed, looked at his hands, suddenly smiled.

Zhang Tingyu just looked at her like this, and said, "I'd rather I grow old for 50 to [-] years than see you grow older."

It hurts her to be held in his hands, how could she be willing to suffer even a tiny bit of damage?

Lifting his palm out of the water, Zhang Tingyu's fingers were still a little stiff, Gu Huaishu wiped his hands, and buried his head without saying a word.

After drying his hands, he gave her a nod between the eyebrows, and said, "Don't look so much, wisdom will hurt you, wisdom is close to a demon."

"You are a monster."

Gu Huaishu grabbed his hand, pulled him to sit aside, used medicinal wine to wipe his hands slowly, kneaded him again, and moved his fingers one by one, flexing and stretching, so that the blood would go faster.

After doing all this, Fang saw that his claws looked like human claws.

Zhang Tingyu just hugged her, the two of them had dinner together, but they never mentioned anything about what happened outside the Great Wall before, whether Zhang Tingyu was doing anything inside, Gu Huaixiu had no way of knowing, and he didn't need to know.

Looking at Yinzhen's side, he seemed to be inadvertently aware of whether Yinfeng fell down by himself or was pushed down by others, he didn't know at all.

She dressed Zhang Tingyu and went to bed to rest. Zhang Tingyu's eyes were black and blue. He just hugged her and closed his eyes. After a while, he fell asleep. He must have been extremely sleepy these days.

But Gu Huaixiu couldn't sleep. At night, she looked at Zhang Tingyu's face through the dim light outside. He looked like a modest gentleman on the outside, but inside he was a politician with a lot of means.

But when she looked at him, she just felt that the more she looked at him, the more she liked him.

Hugging a thin quilt, I have already started to feel cold after autumn. At this moment, there is a person lying next to me, but it is as warm as being next to the stove.

Seeing that he was fast asleep, Gu Huaishu got up quietly, lifted the gauze curtain and went out, only took a round mirror to sit outside, she blew out the light in the back room, for fear of disturbing Zhang Tingyu's sleep.

Qing Dai didn't expect her to come out at this time, she was taken aback, and seeing Gu Huaishu holding a round mirror in her hand, she felt even more bizarre.

However, Gu Huaixiu didn't speak, just sat down and looked at his own face in the mirror, mature and charming, but the bottom of his eyes was calm after experiencing ups and downs.Think about it 17 years ago, even though her eyes were heavy, they were not as calm after vicissitudes.

Just look at Nian Chenyu back then. At that time, when Gu Huaishu looked at her youthful and beautiful, he only regarded her as a junior, and looked at her with a rare and tolerant attitude.

In fact, not only Zhang Tingyu is getting old, but she is also getting old, but it's not obvious on her face.

His fingers touched the corners of his eyes, and there seemed to be faint fine lines, which couldn't be covered.

Seeing this, Gu Huaixiu only smiled slightly.

It was already very late, and the Zhang Mansion was peaceful.

Gu Huaixiu was about to put down the beauty mirror inlaid with gold and silver in his hand, but Bailu came in from outside, saying that someone handed Gu Huaixiu a letter.

It's so late, who else will send the letter?
Gu Huaishu had just received it, and was stunned when he saw the handwriting outside.

She let Bai Lu go out, and saw a cicada pattern on the top of the wax that was sealed with kraft paper.

I became vigilant in my heart, so I was extra careful.

The outside of the envelope was written in Sun Lianqiao's handwriting, and people turned to Gu Huaixiu to open it personally, but it was believed that the inside of the envelope was opened, but it was a secret letter written by Yinzhen.

Is this person crazy?

Gu Huaishu was simply intimidated by Yinzhen's courage.

Zhang Tingyu was ordered to come back to Beijing first to handle errands, but Yinzhen was still in Rehe at this time, and had already rushed there non-stop after receiving the news that the eighteenth elder brother had gone. Can you send a secret letter to Gu Huaishu?
However, when he saw what was written in the letter, Gu Huaixiu gasped.

When the crown prince was outside the Great Wall, he often spied on the emperor's daily life, and even quietly broke through the tent where the emperor was resting at night, and watched the emperor's behavior inside.

Kangxi once said that the crown prince and Suo'etu formed a party, which made him wonder if he would be killed by poison tomorrow. Now the power struggle and confrontation between the emperor and the prince will be achieved during today's tour outside the Great Wall?peak.The emperor doted on the eighteenth prince, but the eighteenth prince died of illness suddenly, and the prince not only showed no sadness on his face, but still indulged in wine and music. When the emperor was most sad, he secretly watched Kangxi's every move!
Imagine seeing your son peeping at you through the tent again when you were sad in the middle of the night, anticipating when this old man would die, how vicious your intentions were?

Almost on the spot, Kangxi was furious, pointed at Yinfeng's nose and scolded him in the middle of the night, and immediately locked Yinfeng up.

Later, on the way back to Rehe from the camp outside the Great Wall, there were already rumors of abolishing the prince, and when he first arrived in Rehe, even the other princes almost suffered as well.

Yinzhen is there at the moment because of the prince, and he is not welcomed by the emperor.

The thirteenth elder brother Li Bao and his fourth elder brother were whipped in Kangxi's rage and were bedridden.

Yinxiang, the thirteenth elder brother who used to be beautiful, suddenly received the same treatment as the prince, and only Yinzhen was left in the prince's party...

In fact, up to now, it should be said that it is the Fourth Master Party.

Gu Huaixiu didn't know what happened that day, and he didn't mention it repeatedly in the letter. He only said that the crown prince was deposed, and the emperor was very sad. As the saying goes, a weapon that worked hard in one effort declined and then was exhausted. This is the reason for the morale of the war. Kangxi The mind is also a reason.

Back then when he single-handedly cultivated the prince, Kangxi devoted all his efforts to his sons to the prince alone.

It was like a farmer planted a field of crops with his own hands, and suddenly one day these crops became sick. Kangxi was furious for a while, and when he saw all kinds of insects lying on the crops, he thought it was insect disease, but in fact the crops were rotten to the roots.

Everyone else knew that the crops were hopeless, but Kangxi didn't believe it.

The crown prince he cultivated by himself is his crop, and there must still be the last glimmer of hope.

As the saying goes, "Those who have been working for a long time will fly high; those who are pioneers will thank Duzao".

Tonight, Yinzhen's letter only vaguely described the current situation, so that Gu Huaishu could understand the overall situation. Now that no one can come back, the situation on the capital side. Can't go wrong either.What he was more afraid of was Zhang Tingyu's sudden defection...

Zhang Tingyu went back to the capital first, if there was any change in the capital, whoever wins over Zhang Tingyu first will have the upper hand.

What's more, Zhang Tingyu is a close minister of the emperor.

Yinzhen's last sentence was: let's praise the old eighth superior to Yixi, and secretly trust Ma Qi, a scholar.

"What a vicious heart..."

Gu Huaixiu knew a little about this period, but he never expected such a development.

In fact, Zhang Tingyu had emptied his influence in the Hanlin Academy earlier, and lost his foundation. The Hanlin Academy is the place where the entire Qing Dynasty civil servants and high-ranking officials come out. Those who come out of the Hanlin Academy must start as fourth-rank officials. , Compared with the little sesame officials below, they have a lot of advantages.

There are many people from the Eighth Master in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but the new blood cannot be replenished. The Eighth Master's power is like a weed in the water, and it has been unstable for a long time.

But Zhang Tingyu pretended to return all the power of the Imperial Academy to Ba Ye, so Ba Ye was so determined that he acted recklessly.

Now Yinzhen told Gu Huaishu that the prince is still dead, and Kangxi still has a thought for the prince, but now he wants to push the eighth elder brother to the position at this time, which is clearly framed!

As soon as Zhang Tingyu came back, Gu Huaishu accepted such a letter in the middle of the night, it really scared me to death.

Yinzhen said that he wanted to trust Ma Qi, a senior scholar, but Gu Huaishu certainly couldn't really do that.

This so-called "secret letter" can only be a hint, as for the matter of cheating the eight elder brothers behind the scenes, the Hanlin Academy has to work hard.

Fortunately, both Zhang Tingyu and the eighth prince had grudges against each other, so he was not afraid of accidentally hurting anyone.

Gu Huaishu burned the letter, and then slowly retreated to lie down with Zhang Tingyu.

She fell into a deep sleep this time, and the next day Zhang Tingyu came back early to work in the palace, she didn't even know it.

It was busy until the third day, when Kangxi returned to Luan, and the matter of abolishing the crown prince was finally settled.

This time, the third prince Yinzhi's same mother and sister came back with him, that is, the tenth princess who was especially liked by the emperor in the early years, but married Cering of the Mongolian Borzigit clan, a descendant of Kublai Khan in the Yuan Dynasty. This time I went far away to meet the leader of the Mongolian tribe, but I brought back such a pure princess.

The prince was abolished, the emperor's intention was very firm, and there was no obstruction at all. After the stage where he was so angry that he almost fainted, the emperor seemed to calm down and calm down.

Kangxi even issued two imperial edicts in one day, the first edict asked the deposed prince Yinreng to move out of Yuqing Palace and live in the Shangsi Courtyard where horses were raised. The whole court was shocked, and countless people thought that the prince should be exhausted.

How could I have imagined that when everyone thought that there would be a big move next, Kangxi's second imperial decree came down——

This time, it's a decree.

Because this year's Mid-Autumn Festival was celebrated outside the Great Wall, and I hadn't had any fun with the concubines and ministers in the palace, I actually ordered the princes and ministers and the wives who have reached the rank of the capital to enter the palace at dusk the next day.

The princes and ministers accompanied Kangxi who suddenly felt lonely, while the wives accompanied Princess Heshuo Chunxi, who married far away in Mongolia in the early years.

When Gu Huaishu received the news, he thought of Lin Jiashi.

Now that the crown prince is gone, what about Lin Jiashi?

Lin Jiashi's life is indeed not very good, but she is full of expectations.

Once something happens to the crown prince, it means that she has perfectly completed the task assigned to her by the fourth master.

Seeing that the murderer who killed her son had been imprisoned, Lin Jiashi almost wept with joy, compared to the Qiqi in the entire Yuqing Palace, Lin Jiashi was extremely happy.

The emperor ordered the elder brother Yinti and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen to guard the prince together, and the guards at Yuqing Palace were also handed over to Yinzhen, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

But Lin Jiashi believed, "Others are not allowed to come in and out, but fourth master is the one who takes care of Yuqing Palace, so he will definitely be able to come in and out."

Bi Xiu only said softly, "Keep your voice down, the matter is not over yet."

The outside suddenly became lively, and the voice of someone talking could be heard in the distance, and seeing the sky gradually darken, the voice became louder and louder.

Lin Jia frowned and said, "Shouldn't everyone in the palace be in awe when something like this happened to the crown prince? Why...why are you still beaming? It must be the crown prince who has committed many evils...so everyone applauds it?"

"Master, today the emperor hosted a banquet for his ministers, and invited a lot of wives, saying that the emperor and his ministers had fun together, and also to save face for Princess Chunxi."

Bixiu explained, and came to help Lin Jiashi again, "You should go to bed early."

sleep?
Lin Jiashi stood still, but said: "How can I sleep at a time like this? The matter has been done, and the fourth master should do what he promised me! I believe that the fourth master will come tonight and order my wife to enter the palace tonight." Well, that bitch Gu Huaishu is coming too? No, I can't make her proud... She doesn't know that I belong to Fourth Master, does she? She thinks I'm already with the ordinary woman in the palace at this time It's just as pitiful, hahaha..."

As she spoke, Lin Jiashi actually laughed out loud.

She had a feeling that the conspiracy had succeeded, which was extremely refreshing.

Everyone thought Lin Jiashi was hopeless, but only she knew that she had hugged the best big tree!
This time, she has made such a great contribution to Si Bei Le, Si elder brother will definitely not treat her badly.

Lin Jiashi had already hinted before that she hoped that fourth master would accept her in the future, and fourth master also agreed.

In the early years, she was able to change her appearance and enter the prince's backyard, and she will be able to change her appearance to enter the fourth master's backyard in the future.

Hahaha……

When the time comes, let's see what kind of expression Gu Huaishu will have!
That bitch wished she could be destroyed along with the prince, if she saw that she was one step closer to glory and wealth, what kind of expression would she have?
In the early years, she was framed by herself for flirting with her boyfriend. Even in the end, Gu Zhenguan chose to protect her eldest daughter, and expelled her from the house in name, but in fact paved her a smooth path to prosperity and wealth. .These princes and grandsons, if you just pick up one of them, can't you climb up?
Without the prince, there is still the fourth master. Even if the fourth master is gone in the future, will there be no other masters?

As long as she is willing to drill and be obedient, where is there no way for her to go in the palace?
Gu Huaishu was oppressed by her since childhood, and will be oppressed by her in the future, life after life, never turning over!
If one day, she must watch someone execute Gu Huaixiu Ling Chi to death, slash her face, and make her into a human pig, only then can she dispel the hatred in her heart!
Thinking about it, Lin Jia walked towards the row of ten practice rooms at the end of Yuqing Palace. The moon was in the sky, the pools on both sides were deep, and the lotus had already bloomed.

But Lin Jiashi is in a good mood.

There's no one here, if fourth master comes to see her, it's just right.

Lin Jiashi turned around and looked at Bixiu with a smile on her face: "Go and tell me the story, and say that I am waiting for the fourth master."

Bixiu just looked at her calmly, but didn't move, but said: "Master, there is no need to pass it on. The fourth master is going to see you today, and there is another noble person who wants to see you."

The room was very dark, and for some reason, only a dim oil lamp was lit. The golden dragon's claw chrysanthemum outside had been blooming for a long time, showing signs of decline.

The lights exploded, and Lin Jiashi heard voices outside.

It is the fourth prince.

He seemed to pat the Buddhist beads in his hand, then laughed, and said in a low voice, "Go in."

Immediately afterwards, an elongated shadow, illuminated by the light of the lantern hanging on the corridor, was long and thin, like a pond full of scorpions, slowly crawled to the bottom of Lin Jiashi's flower pot.

The shadow was very thick, like splashed ink.

It was a woman, wrapped in a cloak, and it was already cold. She was afraid of the cold, so she took a hand stove early.

Now when he arrives at the place, he asks the maid behind him to remove the stone blue cloak for him, so he is tall and slender, but also has a romantic charm, with a hook of his slender fingers, when the cloak is removed, the room seems to be full of brilliance to her.

Gu Huaishu is very beautiful today, especially.

Today when I entered the palace, I didn't see the emperor, but only Princess Chunxi, so Gu Huaishou was wearing a silver-red satin gown with rose-red thorns and silver threads embroidered with flower lotus patterns on a white background, and a pleated skirt embroidered with carmine red at the bottom. The eight-treasure-patterned belt is tied up, making her figure even more exquisite.

Gradually following her steps through the door, her bright face appeared in front of Lin Jiashi's eyes, piercing like a demon.

Gu Huaishu slightly bent his lips, covered his hands with his wide sleeves, hugged the stove loosely, and sighed with a light smile: "Eldest sister, third sister is here to send you on your way."
