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

Chapter 258 The Grand Finale
At night, the husband and wife did not go back early, Gu Huaixiu sat down for a while, and Zhang Tingyu also came back.

Seeing that Gu Huaishu also looked like he just came back, Zhang Tingyu's expression was not very good. He had good eyes and ears, and he only brushed the snow off his clothes, then walked over and ordered: "Go get some hot water and bring some ointment."

Knowing that he knew everything, Gu Huaishu sat on the edge of the kang, with one hand resting on the edge of the kang table, and there was a bag embroidered with the word "blessing" in his hand, which contained the things that Yin Zhen had rewarded earlier.

Seeing that Gu Huaishu wanted to speak, Zhang Tingyu frowned and said, "Shut up."

Then, he saw the lucky silk bag next to him, raised his hand to pick it up, and threw it down. The gold beads and jade beads fell all over the floor.

Gu Huaishu laughed a little helplessly: "They are all dead things, and if there is nothing, I will get angry with them."

Zhang Tingyu's cloak outside had already been hung up by Qingdai, when she came back she immediately ordered someone to fetch water.

It was so late, and it was in Yuanmingyuan again, not in his own residence, so Zhang Tingyu was not easy to get angry, and his face was very dark.

After the water was brought, he sent the servant girls out, she took off her shoes and socks, and took off her outer robe, Zhang Tingyu then bent over in front of her couch, and loosened her?The feet were lifted up and rolled up to the knees, and a large group of black and blue was seen.

"It's you who deserve it. Recently, the emperor has been in a moody mood, and he happened to be bumped into by you."

"It's not bad to bump into him." Seeing him rubbing herself with hot water, Gu Huaixiu frowned in pain, paused for a while and said, "I know what the newly added edict is. It's..."

There was a pause in his hands, Zhang Tingyu squinted at her, seeing that she didn't care, and felt a little angry for some reason.

Her knees were full of injuries, he covered them with a hot towel for a while, and then applied ointment after wiping them off, but he didn't ask her about the edict.

Gu Huaixiu watched him silently hurt himself, his eyes gradually softened, and he only said softly: "It should be the proposed person to be the auxiliary minister. I only know that there is you here, and... Taimiao..."

Taimiao?

There have always been only Manchus in the Taimiao, and there has never been a precedent for Hanchens to enter.

Zhang Tingyu didn't believe it at first, but now that Gu Huaixiu said it, he couldn't help but not believe it.

After taking the medicine, Zhang Tingyu wrapped her up in a brocade quilt, threw her into the bed, and called the maid to clean up the copper basin and handkerchief, and casually told Bai Lu, "Go to the imperial hospital tomorrow." Invite an imperial physician to come and say that Madam is ill, and no matter where Madam goes tomorrow, she is not allowed to go out until the injury recovers."

"……Yes."

Bai Lu was outside the curtain, a little surprised, Qing Dai didn't dare to say anything.

Gu Huaixiu only said: "Be careful of scaring people."

"I didn't draw anything scary on my face, so how could it scare people?" Zhang Tingyu took off his coat, was also very tired, and soon lay down on his side.

The two of them snuggled together under a brocade quilt, which was very warm.

Gu Huaishu said: "Did you feel nothing when you heard the second edict?"

"some……"

Grow up.

It's not that Gu Huaixiu doesn't know about Zhang Tingyu.

He said: "Heavenly law recurs, retribution is not good, but no one can escape."

The cycle of heaven, the retribution is unhappy.

What Zhang Tingyu said was very strange.

He didn't explain much, he just stroked her hair and said, "Don't think too much, you have me."

Where can she think too much now?After all, she has been lazy for many years, and Zhang Tingyu holds more things in her hands than she knows.

So just closing her eyes like this, she fell asleep peacefully.

A smile appeared on Zhang Tingyu's lips, and he went over to kiss the corner of her lips lightly, not daring to wake her up.

In the next few days, Gu Huaishu really never went out, only watching the snow in the house.

However, some people heard that Mrs. Zhang Dashi got a cold in Dali and fell ill in the house, and she didn't even see anyone. They were a little worried. In addition to sending people to greet her, they also brought various gifts, so they wrote down on the gift list A long string.

Seeing the injury recover today, Gu Huaishu calculated the time, and it was time to leave the garden.

"Do you know where the second master is now?"

Hearing her question, Bai Lu said: "Just now, Ade sent someone back and forth, saying that he just went to accompany the emperor to Jingxiang Library."

Jingxiang Library is also a good place near the Yude Hall.

Gu Huaixiu thought about it, and said: "I'm going out for a stroll, and I don't go too far. If there is any news, I will always call someone back and forth."

"The servant understands."

Bai Lu responded, but didn't follow her out, she just waited in the other courtyard.

It was afternoon at this time, and the sun was not very strong. It had only snowed heavily a while ago, and the sunlight shone on the snow, shining in a trance.

And Jingxiang Library is still on the shore of Fuhai Sea, and there is a long way to go.

Accompanied by Zhang Tingyu and Yinzhen from Qinzheng Palace, they entered Jingxiang Library. In front of Beidu River are Wangyingzhou, Xifeng Songyue and Shenliu Reading Hall, whose names are as elegant as each other.

Yinzhen coughed, and seemed to be suffering from a minor ailment.

Not enough, he took two steps, as if he suddenly thought of something, he asked Zhang Tingyu casually: "I heard that your wife is sick?"

Zhang Tingyu said lightly, "I'm sick, but it's just a minor illness."

A few days ago, when Zhang Tingyu asked the imperial physician to go, Yinzhen knew about it, but he didn't bother to care about it. He just said: "Now that the military aircraft department has been settled, and seeing that the war in the northwest is about to be peaceful, in just a few days, the minister of the court Instead, they objected... I think these people are tired of their lives."

"The matter of the military aircraft is of great importance. Of course they want to stop the emperor. The emperor knows what these people are worried about, and the minister dare not say more."

Zhang Tingyu is the planner of the Military Aircraft Department.

There is a memorial system in the front, and a military aircraft department in the back. He has an unusual mind.

When Xu Zhen entered the library, he walked towards it. There are countless books in the library, and when he entered, he could smell the strong fragrance of ink.

Regardless of whether the ministers outside are willing or unwilling, the Military Aircraft Department now has three bachelors, and the rest of the emperor's confidants.

The Military Aircraft Department had a foreman, and as the first-hand planner, Zhang Tingyu was naturally the most familiar with the operation of the Military Aircraft Department, so he naturally became the head minister of the Military Aircraft Department.

From then on, in addition to the six ministries and the cabinet, there was an additional military aircraft department, and the duty room was set not far behind the Zhengda Guangming Hall, so as to be ready to deal with things at any time.

Yinzhen is very satisfied with the Military Aircraft Department, the authority is in control, he says one thing, all the ministers obey him, there is nothing better than this.

There is a chessboard in the house, Yinzhen saw it, and the government affairs are not busy today, so he became excited, "Master Zhang, come and have a talk with me."

Zhang Tingyu glanced at the chessboard, seeing that Yinzhen had already sat down, he only pulled the corners of his lips, and said with a smile: "Then I hope that Lord Long Live will be merciful."

Yinzhen's chess skills are also excellent, a person who can endure, and a person with a lot of scheming, must not be bad at Go.

Viewing people with chess is also very accurate.

Some people like to play fast chess with careful thinking, and some people think carefully and spend half an hour thinking about each move. Yinzhen should have both, because his chess playing skills are very vicious.

Zhang Tingyu dropped one piece at a time, Yinzhen didn't say a word, looking at him from the front, he was completely defeated, the pieces were very scattered, but as he was playing, he found the clue.

Yinzhen is like strolling in the courtyard, dropping one child after another, it seems that there is no need to think about it at all, and the more you go to the back, the smoother it is.

"...The emperor's chess strategy..."

Zhang Tingyu gradually frowned.

Yinzhen knew that Zhang Tingyu's chess game had reached a critical point. Seeing that the white pieces were entangled near Tianyuan, and the black pieces were encircled by the four stars, it was already a bit dangerous to play chess here.

But what made Zhang Ting hesitate was not the chess game, but Yin Zhen's technique.

Yinzhen seldom plays chess with others, because playing chess is a very revealing thing.

Step-by-step scheming and calculation are all reflected in the chess game.

Viewing people with chess is not empty talk.

Seeing that Zhang Tingyu seemed to be a little hesitant, he quietly served tea, still sitting upright, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Speaking of it, I remembered that you might have played chess with your elder brother back then, but now It’s so indecisive.”

This statement is not false.

Because Yinzhen used the "siege and kill" chess strategy that Zhang Tingzan had used many times.

The so-called "siege" has many changes, but it is a style of chess. The most important thing in Go is the word "siege", but there are many ways to "siege", and "siege", the most important But it is on the word "kill".

Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Tingzan have played chess countless times. He once told Gu Huaishu that he had never defeated Zhang Tingzan.

If Yinzhen used Zhang Tingzan's chess style, then the current Zhang Tingyu seems to be sure to lose.

In such a siege, Zhang Tingyu's chess pieces are like a group of defeated troops, who dare not speak bravely.

The more you play, the more you will end up in this game of chess.

Lowering his eyes, the hostility in Zhang Tingyu's eyes finally slowly surfaced.

On his finger, there is a white stone, the quality of the jade is excellent, the tentacles are warm and cool, even in winter it is not cold.

After a while, Zhang Tingyu dropped a child seemingly unintentionally.

He said at the same time: "My brother's chess is a masterpiece. I never thought that the emperor would have the same chess style. It reminds me of the past..."

Putting down the teacup, Yinzhen also thought of Zhang Tingzan, but only with a little sigh, his more attention was still on the chessboard, and now he has fought to the middle game, at this time Yinzhen gradually frowned.

Zhang Tingyu seemed to be a gentle and elegant gentleman, and he was able to take risks in chess, which was beyond people's expectations.

Even Yinzhen, looking at the chessboard now, feels a chill in his heart.

The trigger on his thumb tapped the edge of the teacup, then stopped, touched a chess piece, and put it in the predetermined place.

"It's a pity for Youchen..."

Zhang Tingzan and Yinzhen are both teachers and friends. Zhang Yingnai was the prince's teacher back then, so Zhang Tingzan, the crown prince Yinreng, and the fourth prince Yinzhen naturally got together.Unexpectedly, in the end, only Yinzhen was left alone, a widow.

"When Eldest Brother was alive, I played this kind of chess with Weichen countless times, and he used the same chess moves as you, Long Live Lord."

Zhang Tingyu smiled slightly, but always looked up.

Because the fundus of his eyes has been frozen, but at this time, he shouldn't be exposed.

"One day before his accident, my eldest brother and I played chess in the duty room of the Imperial Academy. At the end of the game, it was still Weichen who surrendered...At that time, Weichen was just an unknown junior, and he only wanted to know how big brother was. Who is on the side, and in the end, what do you think the elder brother said?"

"Brother said, it's the wrong bet."

Yinzhen raised his head suddenly, squinted at Zhang Tingyu, but the chess piece in his hand fell down with a murderous look: "It's not a wise move for him to choose the crown prince, but it's regrettable."

At this point, Zhang Tingyu almost laughed out loud.

He also made a drop, as if he hadn't thought about it at all, he just dropped.

But if you take a closer look, the position where the stone landed just hits the sunspot that Yinzhen dropped just now, as if trying to hold it tightly.

Zhang Tingyu's chess moves suddenly became aggressive.

How could Yinzhen not understand such a change?

Zhang Tingyu said: "I once heard a saying that a scholar should die if he is a confidant. But now, when I see Lord Long Live's chess, I can't help but ask: Can a confidant know that a scholar dies if he is a confidant?"

"..."

Yinzhen didn't speak, but raised his eyes to look at Zhang Tingyu, Shen Ran's anger gradually gathered in his eyes, like a tight bowstring, ready to explode!
However, Zhang Tingyu is now fearless!

"You shouldn't, you shouldn't, Lord Long Live sent a minister—to bestow Nian Gengyao's death!"

His voice was suddenly so high, but when he smiled, he was tit-for-tat, unparalleled in chilling!

The gazes met over the chessboard, like a flash of lightning, and the murderous intent was revealed in an instant!
Yinzhen's nature is vicious and ruthless, when he heard this, he even laughed, sneered, sneered, the world is under his control, who would dare to go past him?
"I am the lord of the Ninth Five-Year Plan! The way of an emperor is that everyone is reckless. Nian Gengyao is not a villain, so he should dig up graves and kill corpses!"

"Nian Gengyao's death is not a pity, but he devoted himself to the emperor and died, and then became arrogant and domineering. How do you know that there is no praise from your majesty?"

In the early years, Nian Gengyao was still a person who knew how to advance and retreat. Even Gu Huaishu had a good impression of him, but then gradually changed. People are easily fascinated by certain things. Fascinated by the great feats, I really thought that the emperor would be commensurate with his brothers, as brothers and sisters!

In the end, but with a big scar on his head, the dreams of thousands of riches and heroes have all turned into dirt under the green hills.

Zhang Tingyu finally raised his eyes and looked straight at Yinzhen without any fear, and his eyes were not those of a courtier at all.

"Long live God dared to do it, why didn't he dare to admit it? The young man who is about to die told this little minister a story, how does this little minister tell you?"

It was a very short story, one that Zhang Tingyu half knew and Yinzhen knew completely.

In the 42nd year of Kangxi, it was too dark, too dark for the entire Zhang family.

Yinzhen didn't respond to Zhang Tingyu's words.

"...Wei Chen has been thinking that my elder brother is extremely clever, but he was confused for a while. He saw you, but also misread you. When you stole Suo'etu's secret letter, you had placed Lin Jia who was next to the prince. In order to protect herself and prevent the crown prince from falling, she finally exposed my elder brother's trustworthiness. But she also did not tell the prince that my elder brother belongs to you in order to protect herself and prevent herself from being suspected or silenced by you."

"What kind of scheming are you planning?"

"Originally a good plan was flawless, but because of Lin Jiashi's distrust of you, it fell short in a blink of an eye. But after you got the news, you almost immediately judged that Lin Jiashi didn't dare to confess you, maybe you knew My elder brother has a ghost. And after my elder brother left the palace gate, he didn't know that the prince's people had already chased him out."

"He galloped out of Chang'an Avenue in the starry night. He saw that he had arrived at your mansion, and there were still pursuers behind him. At this moment, a poisoned arrow took his life and took away the secret letter he stole..."

"This group of people, whether it's the clothes or the badges on their waists, are all from Suo'etu and the prince... But at this time, he has already arrived outside your mansion, separated by a wall and a door! My elder brother may be full of heart. I thought the door would open and at least someone would come to rescue him, but a fast horse that caught up behind just snatched a bloody letter from him!"

"Long Live Lord is the Son of Heaven, so it is considered exhaustive, why not guess, who shot the poisonous arrow, and who took the letter?"

Having said that, Zhang Tingyu laughed out loud, and looked at Yinzhen with a mocking look.

Yinzhen dropped a son with a "snap": "You are very courageous."

"It's not as big as Long Live!"

Zhang Tingyu recalled Nian Gengyao's mocking eyes back then, and the eyes of his elder brother when he was dying that night...

Isn't it a wrong bet?

At that time, the prince and Yinzhen were in the same party, and the four princes assisted the prince, and they were always loyal and inseparable.

He sent someone to shoot Zhang Tingzan. From the prince's point of view, it was his men who shot Zhang Tingzan. There was no difference. So at that time, the prince didn't doubt Yinzhen at all. Maybe because Yinzhen attacked Zhang Tingzan, he trusted him more. !

This can also explain why the prince was aware of Zhang Tingzan's death.

——As everyone knows, the stupid prince has already been pushed out by Yinzhen as a scapegoat.

Not only did the Zhang family hate the prince, but even the last letter fell into Yinzhen's hands, which became the last straw that brought Suo'etu down.

What a clever and risky method?

It is worthy of being the talent of an emperor, it is worthy of being able to sit on the dragon chair now, and it is worthy of being the master of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the Qing Dynasty!

Zhang Tingyu is ashamed of himself for such a vicious scheming!

"I just don't know, when the Lord Long Live dreamed back at midnight, did he ever think of the heads and blood spilled by his subordinates who were loyal and loyal to you? My brother regards the Lord Long Live as the enlightened master, and the Lord Long Live speaks a sword with a sweet belly and does not think half of love. I have pity on big brother."

With ridicule in his eyes, what Zhang Tingyu was holding was the last chess piece.

He has always had the ability to manage the world, and he knows the truth that Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, so Zhang Tingyu has always been the last one when he encounters people who resort to endless tricks such as siege and killing. , Then throw the child to admit defeat.

Only Gu Huaishu once felt suspicious of him in a round of siege, and since then, Zhang Tingyu seldom played.

Yinzhen was furious, and just threw the chess box at hand: "Master Zhang has eaten the guts of the ambitious leopard!"

Zhang Tingyu twirled the chess piece, and gently placed it on the corner of the chessboard on his right hand. The white jade chessboard was really beautiful.

He got up, stood aside, looked at Yinzhen: "This minister is loyal and has no second thoughts towards the emperor."

"Zhang Tingyu!"

Yin Zhen was extremely angry, but felt a sudden throbbing pain in his heart. At that moment, it seemed that something was triggered. He leaned forward and vomited half a mouthful of blood, which fell on the chessboard, which was shocking!
His eyes fell on the teacup, something flashed in Yinzhen's mind, and finally he laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, okay! Repeat the old trick, is this the retribution of heaven? Who gave you the courage, How dare you poison the Son of Heaven!"

Zhang Tingyu was not in the slightest panic, no one even dared to come in here, outside Su Peisheng and Gao Wuyong were restrained when they started playing chess, they couldn't even rush in.

He was wearing a first-grade civil official's mended uniform, calm and calm, but in front of him was the disaster and bloodshed that Zhang Tingzan's death brought to Zhang's family in 42!
Zhang Ying's words before he died, his eyes, his exhaustion and tiredness...

A gentleman is moderate, ten years is not too late.

Zhang Tingyu looked upright and awe-inspiring: "Right and wrong are judged by heaven. Long live God plotting against his brother for the dragon chair, yes, it is the way of the king; it is not bad for a humble minister to avenge his brother and kill the emperor with poison - it is just the way of filial piety. "

"The sage said: Heaven, earth, ruler, parent and teacher. The sage also said: filial piety is the first to rule the world. The humble minister is a body of flesh and blood. The elder brother is like a father, and the kindness is as heavy as a mountain. Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. What envoy is loyal?"

He said it clearly and logically.

However, falling into Yinzhen's ears is tantamount to heresy and rebellion!

"Su Peisheng! Gao Wuyong!" Yinzhen called out, but no one came in.He thought of his father, who was also in Changchun Garden back then, and it was almost the same scene, surrounded by officials, but no one could be his reliance...

And he, an emperor, has no one around him until now.

Lonely.

Perhaps it was the pain in his heart that made Yinzhen's face turn pale. He looked at Zhang Tingyu who was standing not far in front, and asked, "But Hongli has the heart to rebel and usurp the throne!"

The natural cycle is just karma.

Zhang Tingyu didn't speak, if he didn't have someone to rely on, he wouldn't dare to make a move.

A few days ago, Yinzhen named the fourth prince Hongli as Prince Bao, and gave it to the Lama Temple, so that everyone will know who the future emperor is.

What prompted Zhang Tingyu to carry out this plan earlier was Yinzhen's second will.

He stood tall, calm and calm, and said: "Long live Lord, please rest assured, you died of illness, the succession of the fourth prince is a matter of course, just like your succession was a matter of course, and the humble minister - is still a hero."

"Rebellious ministers and traitors! You rebellious ministers and traitors dare to pretend to be heroes!"

Yinzhen never expected that Zhang Tingyu would have such courage. After all, he misjudged the person and was too conceited!
Another mouthful of blood gushed out, and his figure was crumbling, but he tried his best to clasp the corner of the chess table with his palm. The veins on the back of his hand burst out, and his nails were almost broken. Like a ferocious beast whose territory has been violated, it will choose to eat anyone!

When the emperor is angry, how powerful is it?

But now, there is no one around Yinzhen.

The trapped beast is still fighting, but that's all.

This scene looked extremely bleak.

Zhang Tingyu knew exactly what was going on outside the Old Summer Palace.

There was no sound outside, but the shadows of swords and swords were silent.

Zhang Tingyu sighed deeply: "The late emperor has gone, what grievances do you have? Go ahead and complain to the late emperor. By the way, you can confess the blood in your hands, the heroes you forced to death and all the chess pieces you sacrificed...you It's no different from Weichen, only success or failure is a hero."

None of them are good people, and success or failure determines everything.

King and loser.

"You are the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan and the Son of Heaven, but the Ninth Five-Year Plan is not an extreme number... Above the Ninth Five-Year Plan, there is the Shangyang Yao hexagram, which says: Excessive dragon, there is regret."

Ninth Five-Year is the supreme number, but there is still a saying of "Shangyang" in the hexagrams of "Book of Changes", which is the "prosperity" of prosperity and decline, which is an ominous sign, so Ninth Five-Year is the most auspicious.

however--

Ninety-five is not the supreme!
Yinzhen was speechless, and the string of Buddhist beads in his hand was about to burst, for Zhang Tingyu's wolf ambition!
These officials with three surnames had something to do with the death of the first emperor. Now that he is added, even if Hongli has no scheming, it is absolutely impossible for this person to be included in the list of heroes!
dream!

But Zhang Tingyu smiled mockingly, and said softly: "You should die too, the time of day is just right when the mountain is slanting to the west."

"As for the minister... Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. With the edict you put on the upright plaque, it doesn't matter whether the minister is loyal or traitorous, virtuous or stupid. After a hundred years, the humble minister will be blessed with the emperor's grace, forever Enjoy the incense of tens of thousands of people in the Tai Temple of the Qing Dynasty, and the name will go down in history! Minister Zhang Tingyu, thank the emperor for his grace, long live the Wu Emperor, long live, long live!"

After he finished speaking, he lifted his robe respectfully, knelt down, and kowtowed to thank you!
To Yinzhen, what kind of irony is this?

Something flashed through his mind, but it was that snowy night, he was sitting high in the pavilion, watching the scene of Gu Huaishou kneeling on the cold ground with lowered eyebrows.

The bead curtain in front shook slightly, and a corner of the snow-blue skirt flashed by. Yinzhen saw it, and his heart ached from the poisoning, his face was already ashen, but his eyes burst out with murderous intent.

He picked up the celadon teacup in his hand and threw it towards the outside of the bead curtain!
There was a "crack" sound, and the tea was splashed all over the ground accompanied by fragments of the teacup.

He stared at that place, and his voice was cold and cold: "I really raised a good slave who can bite!"
