The struggle of the eight blessings of rebirth

Chapter 282

Just after the New Year's Eve dinner and the Lantern Festival was not over yet, the old man had a whim and said that he was going to inspect the Yellow River.The sons were shocked, it was winter, and the Yellow River was in the dry season, inspecting the wool, the old man was going crazy.But he is the emperor, and the emperor can do whatever he wants, regardless of common sense or unreasonable things.

This time, all the princes who were named princes stayed in the capital to watch the house. There is a small follower Hongzhe.The Lantern Festival is over, and I left Beijing early in the morning on the sixth day of the new year. When Minzhi sent Yinhu out, he still said those few words. Don’t think that the world will be peaceful after the anti-Qing forces have swept away. You must be careful when you go out. Safety.

Yinhu has already figured out the routines for his wife. Without her saying anything, she automatically and spontaneously made a lot of verbal guarantees, such as bringing enough Zhuang Ding, doctors and medicines, such as protecting Shiba, such as proper care Let's talk about Yinxiang, and so on.Of course, in exchange, Minzhi also promised to be obedient and promise not to cause trouble, and even if she saw something unpleasant, she would wait for her husband to come back and report to her husband.

In fact, as soon as Yinhu left, Minzhi was busy giving away her son Guanyin at Shili and 16. Concubine Yi even issued a decree to ask Minzhi to report to Shiliufu, saying that she must ensure that Wanning gave birth to a child. son out.Minzhi had no choice but to bring her son back and forth.Ten Fujin is the third child, and she is very familiar with it. Minzhi only needs to be responsible for standing in front of her every now and then.

But Wanning's situation is different. She is the first child, and she caught up with the pregnancy during the tour, and the tire gas was moved due to the exhaustion of the boat, and there were all kinds of dangers.Yinlu was very nervous, and caught up with the old man who was smoking a young man, Shiliu dragged Yinzhen to Minzhi's door on the first day of the new year, begging his sister-in-law for help, she really regarded Minzhi as omnipotent .

Therefore, Shiliu, who was originally assigned to the Eighth Master Party by public opinion because of marrying Yinhu's cousin, was completely taken under Yinhu's account. Minzhi could only lament the magic of fate. The 56th and [-]th, who were originally the Fourth Master Party, turned into the Eighth Master Party. Is this a self-correction of history, or a weak resistance of history?One of my exhortations back then saved Shiliu's life in a different direction. What I never expected was that Yinlu would marry Yinzhen's cousin, which further deepened the relationship between the three families.Up to now, the eighty-ninety-sixty-four families have turned into a delicate nepotism group.

Unfortunately, Minzhi was caught by Yinhu, and she was so busy with other people's affairs that she went out early every morning and returned home after dinner.Sometimes catching up with Wanning feels like a headache, and it is me who makes her nervous as if she is uncomfortable.Fortunately, the old housekeeper and Mr. Qian are in charge of the family, and the Cai family of Fangfujin did not gain any real power because of having Hongye. Because of Yinhu's reminder, Minzhi gave up the idea of ​​letting her help with the housekeeping.

On this day, Minzhi was at the Shiliu Mansion again, talking to Wanning while teaching her how to knit a sweater. In order to protect her pregnancy, Wanning could hardly get out of bed and walk around. lost two nuns.Concubine Tong Gui is Shiliu's adoptive mother, so of course she can't stand by at this time.As a result, Wanning's main house suddenly had four more nuns.In addition to the two old companions brought by his natal family when he got married, Minzhi felt that he was not needed at all. Just standing there with so many people was already very spectacular. So many maids and women looked at a belly, Is there any reason why you can't stand it?

Who knew that he was idle and bored, and something happened. The servant of Lianjun Prince's Mansion came and said that the housekeeper invited the mistress back to the mansion.Minzhi bid farewell to Wanning and returned home, only to realize that it was Zhuangzi's messenger who had arrived, delivering a letter from Jiangnan, and it was an urgent letter sealed in red wax.Now, communications between Jiangnan and the capital are becoming more and more frequent. In order to treat them differently, those sealed with red wax are urgent mail that can be processed immediately, while those sealed with white wax are general reports and letters of greeting.

Minzhi took the three red wax seals from the housekeeper, went to the study immediately, ordered Qiu Ju to look after the door, went into the inner study by herself, took out the note in the wax seal, saw it, and felt a chill from under her feet , The south of the Yangtze River is blowing again.The existence of Zhang Boxing has seriously threatened Ge Li, and the conflict between the two old fellows has intensified. This time, it really came to the point of life and death.

The incident happened on the 15th day of the first lunar month during the Lantern Festival. Zhang Boxing was invited by He Zhuo to visit his old friend. He Zhuo knew that his old friend had always been poor, his wife had died early, and his son was teaching Mr. Xi in his hometown in distant Shandong.The old man was alone with no one but a white-haired domestic servant.And He Zhuo's daughter got married, and now he is far away in Hainan, which is invisible and intangible. Although students will visit him every now and then, he still feels lonely when he grows old.

The two "lonely old men" met in this way and became close friends. During the Lantern Festival, He Zhuo specially invited the old friend to his home, took out the fine wine that the students respected, and prepared a table of side dishes. Lamented the bleak evening scene.At night, Zhang Boxing didn't go back to the yamen, but spent the night at He Zhuo's house.

Unexpectedly, it was this inadvertent overnight stay that saved Zhang Boxing's old life. The sixteenth day of the first lunar month was the day when the yamen resumed work. The bedroom was killed, the body fell to the ground, and the whole scene was in a mess.This time, Zhang Boxing was mad. This old servant was deliberately left to watch the house, so he was killed, and the scene was disguised as robbery.It's murder, it must be murder!

Undoubtedly, Zhang Boxing is well-known in Jiangsu, and even in the entire Jiangnan Province. Almost any passer-by will know that Zhang Boxing, the governor of Jiangsu, is a clean and honest official. His family is so poor that the quilts are patched. Will come to his house to steal?There is only one most valuable thing in his house, and that is the golden seal of the governor of Jiangsu, but who would dare to steal that thing?
Lao Zhang was angry, and the result of his anger was the public trial of the case. The results of Wu's autopsy showed that the old servant had no signs of struggle before his death. He was stabbed in the back and pierced the heart. The scene of the crime was chaotic, and it was clear that someone was trying to confuse the public.

Lao Zhang thinks that he is worthy of the king above and the common people below. The only ones he is sorry for are those colleagues with dirty hands and feet in the middle, and those who are so eager to kill him are the grasshoppers on the rope of Liangjiang Governor Ge Li. Can't think of anyone else.It was already mid-February when Minzhi received the news, nearly a month had passed since the incident.It seems that Lao Zhang has not found any definite evidence yet!
Minzhi looked at the three notes with the same content in a daze, as if there was something strange, but she couldn't remember it.Even if this matter is really what Lao Zhang thought, someone wanted to assassinate him and killed the servant by mistake, but why is it hanging at such a sensitive time of the Lantern Festival, why not usually do it?Minzhi was puzzled, and at the same time couldn't make up her mind what to do.

Just at dinner that night, Hongyan blinked and asked her: "Emiang, when will Ama come back?" Minzhi said without thinking, "Ama is going out with Huang Mafa, when will I come back?" Turn around, and Huang Mafa has the final say." When mentioning Kangxi, a thought flashed in Minzhi's mind, and he couldn't sit still, right?

After eating in twos, Hongyan was thrown to Hongwang's care, and she went into the study again. She took out the map and looked at it carefully, and felt dizzy. How could the old man inspect the Yellow River? This is obviously an excuse to go to the south of the Yangtze River Well, then, this time Jiangnan's intentions were leaked out, so Jiangnan officials were uneasy.Especially Ge Li, everyone knows that Kangxi appreciates Zhang Boxing, praises him as Jiangnan Yu Jackie, Zhang Qingtian of the common people, he and Zhang Boxing have too deep a feud.

Maybe the old man used the excuse of inspecting the Yellow River to cross the Yellow River and go down to take care of this case himself.Ge Li and Zhang Boxing had a lot of impeachment stories in these years. Ge Li couldn't catch the old man, maybe someone else caught Ge Li's trick instead, so Ge ​​Li couldn't wait, took the risk, and wanted to kill someone?

Oh, if this is the case, then there will be a second time once, and this month has passed, I don’t know what happened there.Minzhi was a little startled.Yinhu exaggerated Zhang Boxing in front of her, if something happened to the old man, it would be Jiangnan's loss.After much deliberation, only He Zhuo could help.

So, Minzhi once again made up her own mind and wrote to He Zhuo, asking him to come forward to get in touch with Erji, and to send a bodyguard to Zhang Boxing so that this person could be arranged to work in the Yamen for a few days in the name of a cooperating relative. Keep adults safe.Moreover, Minzhi told He Zhuo his guess that Kangxi might lead a large army across the Yellow River to the south of the Yangtze River.

Now, Min Zhi's mind is settled, He Zhuo's mind is unsettled, Lao Zhang's mind is even more unsettled, what?Is it possible for the emperor to go to Jiangnan?No, I must take this opportunity to expel Ge Li, who is a disaster for the country and the people, from Liangjiang, and restore Jiangnan to a bright future.Therefore, Ge Li found strangely that after an assassination, Lao Zhang went crazy. Instead of hiding, he frequently appeared in public places to collect evidence of his embezzlement and breaking the law from the people.Ge Li was so angry that he gritted his teeth, this old bastard must find a way to kill him!Kill him as soon as possible, no matter whether Lord Long Live will really come or not, you can't spare his life!
Yes, the news that Kangxi visited the Yellow River was public, but the meaning of going to the south of the Yangtze River was guessed by others, and the old man never said that.Among the people who speculated, there were fourteen who were with them, and four who were not with them.However, being disturbed by Minzhi, Lao Zhang was surrounded by dangers, and Suzhou Zhizao couldn't help it. How could an imperial official be assassinated several times in a day?This matter must be secretly reported to the master.

So Kangxi knew about it, and thus, the trip to the south of the Yangtze River was catalyzed.Regardless of whether the old man originally planned to go to Jiangnan, Jiangnan must go now.
