Emperor Yongzheng: Eagle Bow Sirius

Chapter 3 Stuttering in the post, the post-cheng, unlucky and unlucky, the prince deported back to Beijing (1)
Yin was startled, turned his head to look at the woman, and shouted out: "Where are my guards?" Yin's two guards were guarding the door, and when they heard the greeting, they rushed in and stood with their arms crossed.Yin frowned and said, "Can you get some hot water?" Qian Yundou said with a smile, "Master Fourteen, she's comatose and delirium, not really thirsty. The villain is proficient in medicine. I pour a bowl of ready-made venison soup to make up for it." Stay in Yuanshen, just dare to be afraid." Seeing that Yin was speechless, Cai Huaixi hurried over to help the girl on her back, and Qian Yundou fed a large bowl of hot and fragrant broth with a silver spoon.Yin didn't pay any attention to it, he just paced back and forth full of thoughts, sometimes bowing his head in meditation, sometimes staring hopelessly outside the courtyard, no one knew what he was thinking.

"God..." The woman who escaped from death finally woke up, Qu Qing's face was blushing, and a pair of watery almond eyes slowly moved away, sweeping across the faces of strange men, Nana said, "Am I in the underworld, or alive? Are you human or..."

Yin watched her silently, her appearance and facial features were still upright and handsome, but her face was unkempt, her feet were bleeding from the cold, and her childish eyes were filled with doubt and fear.After a long time, Yinfang smiled faintly: "We are not ghosts, but compared with ghosts, humans are more terrifying. No wonder you panic. You have been to the gate of ghosts and come back. What is your name, why did you fall out of the cold alone?" In this lonely temple?"

"I'm from Dai County," the girl shyly tucked her feet into the saddle in front of so many men with her bare feet. When I got down to the official bank, my family had to pay seven and a half dollars... It's a pity that there was no harvest last autumn. Where did I get so much money? There are only my parents and a younger brother who is less than six years old at home. God should not The land is not working. A barbarian came to the village, who spoke Suzhou dialect, and said that he would buy twenty girls to go to Suzhou to weave tributes and embroider for the emperor. For travel expenses, I want to keep six taels of silver a year. In order to pay off the debt and to survive the family, my parents sold me..."

She cried and said, Yin frowned and pondered, he knew the annual tribute Suzhou gave to the imperial court, all of which were woven by Suzhou Li Xu Li Xu, his father Li Shizhen adopted Li Xiquan, the leader of Manzhou in Zhengbai Banner, as his son, for the internal affairs Mansion coating (domestic slave), has a special relationship with the royal family.Li Xiquan was the governor of Guangdong.Li Xu first served as the secretary of the cabinet, the magistrate of Ningbo, and the general manager of Changchun Garden. "A Dream of Red Mansions" author Cao Xueqin's grandfather Cao Yin is his brother-in-law.They all have the special task of secretly reporting the public situation to Kangxi and monitoring officials.Because he had a close relationship with Yun and had a shortfall of 38 taels of silver, Yongzheng was confiscated after he succeeded to the throne.In charge, but there is no case of buying people from the north.Li Xu is a person who is so cautious that he would dodge when the leaves fall, how dare he buy and sell people privately?Thinking about it, she asked, "Since it's mutual consent, why did you come back?" Yindi whimpered, "Where does the Lord know? He's a human trafficker! He sold me to Chunxiang Pavilion when he arrived in Suzhou. I don't think the master taught needlework. He sings songs, plays the piano, and teaches chess and painting every day. I feel suspicious, so I ask my teacher's mother, and my mother said that this is also a learning ability. But a big sister in Chunxiangyuan was kind enough to tell me the details—Man At the age of 15, we were asked to pick up the guests—uncle, I am the daughter of a good family, how can I do this? I escaped when they were unawares, and I didn’t even dare to go the proper way, all the way back from Anhui, Shandong, and Hebei to beg for food. When I arrived at Niangziguan, it was snowing heavily again, and I wanted to go to the temple to escape, but I didn’t know that because of the disaster here, the abbot in the temple ran away hungry, and I fell down from the cold..."

"Your story is so upside down that it makes people cry." Yin said with a sneer, "I saved your life, and you still follow me? Last year, there was a drought in Shanxi, and it was true that the autumn grain was confiscated. Kangxi Long live God once issued a decree to exempt Shanxi and Gansu from money and food for the whole year, and sent imperial envoys to help the victims with Shanxi governor Nuo Min. How could there be a reminder? Tell the truth, whose escaped slave are you? I will take care of you and keep you safe. Since I save people, I will naturally save them to the end." Yindi stared at Yin for a moment with her wide eyes open, then sighed and said, "I can't do anything if you don't believe me. I can't explain it, anyway, I heard that it is Mr. Nuo and the master of the county... It seems to be owed some kind of money. Not only did the relief money not see a single penny, but we people have to make up for the money owed——People in the province It's all the same, how can I deceive you, uncle? You can ask a villager and you will know..."

Before she finished speaking, Yin's heart was clear, Yindi did not tell lies, this is exactly the sin of today's current emperor and former Prince Yong!Since the 46th year of Kangxi, when Yin was in charge of the Ministry of Finance, he cleared up the officials' outstanding debts to the treasury, and many officials were forced to hang themselves. This Nuo Min found a different way. The court forced him to repay the debt, and he asked the people to pay it for him!Looking at the bonfire, Yin muttered "bad guy", then turned to ask Qian Yundou, "This Nuomin was born in Niulu under Zhenghuang's banner, and seems to be a student of Lama Temple?" He wanted to send this unprovoked prince to Beijing to finish his work, he muttered for a while, but didn't answer.Cai Huaixi said beside him: "It's not Long Qianshi's disciple, he's the Dutong inlaid with a white flag, and he was originally a brother of the Nianzhitai."

"A raccoon dog!" Yin gritted his teeth and smiled, "Aren't you afraid of stirring up civil uprisings if you wear a protective gauze hat like this? The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, I think—" He suddenly realized his situation, named "General King", In fact, he is a tiger in a cage. It is not his turn to take care of this kind of business. Moreover, he has no idea of ​​the current situation in Beijing, and it is difficult to say whether his future will be good or bad.Thinking about it, Yin sighed, forced a smile and said: "Yindi, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings. Are you willing to follow me to Beijing and serve me, or are you willing to go back?"

Tears welled up in Yindi's eyes, she thought that all of these people were armed with swords, either thieves or swordsmen, but now she came to her senses and realized that Yin is not a bad person, but he is not like an ordinary person either.Thinking about it, he wiped his tears with his sleeve and said: "I... have parents and younger brothers at home. My father is old, my mother is sick, and my younger brother is still young. Someone needs to take care of me..." Yin smiled and said, "It's hard for you to still have this Filial piety is better than our brothers! In that case, tomorrow I will help you to pay some money and go back to Dai County." After that, he ordered the guards, "It is inconvenient for her to rest here. I think there is a side room in the East Wing. Take her to In that room, there are some ready-made food to send over."

The guards took Yindi out.Yin took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was already the hour of the day, and it was snowing heavily outside. Looking at the two pens, he sat upright and looked at him respectfully. He couldn't drive them away, but he really had nothing to say. talk.Hearing the whistling sound of the bleak wind passing over the mountains, Yin felt even more melancholy.He took off his saber, leaned on the saddle, took a few mouthfuls of deer tendons in the hanging pot, and ate a large bowl of rice wine. He felt drunk, meditated beside the warm fire, and gradually closed his eyes. eyeballed.

"Master Fourteen, Lord Fourteen!"

Yin, who was asleep, opened his eyes at once, only to see that Qian Yundou was calling him softly. He shook the cloak covering his body and sat up straight, asking, "What's the matter? You're yelling!"

"Jingxing Station sent someone to pick you up!"

"Well, remember what I said last night?"

"..."

"Call them in at the head!"

"tie!"

Like a snowman, Jingxing Yicheng entered the mountain temple with white breath, stomped his feet lightly under the eaves, took off his big hat and shook, wiped his snow-stained face, and stammered the report: " Jingjingjingxing, Yiyi... Yicheng Meng Mengmeng..." The melancholy Yin was teased by him with a "puchi" smile, and said: "Don't make it difficult, it's Meng Yicheng—come in." The Yicheng Short and fat, he rolled in like a rubber ball, hit a thousand sons on the spot, and said, "Nu Nu... Slave Meng... Xianyou please please... please be good!" It was the first time for Pin Yicheng to see such a high-ranking nobleman, Meng Xianyou was sweating on his head, gesticulating with his hands and talking for a long time, but Yin couldn't understand what he was saying.I wanted to ask, how did Emperor Yongzheng "pay attention" to his entry into Beijing, but he couldn't help being annoyed and funny when facing this piece of material: "Forget it. Be careful and tired you! You speak Jinbei dialect, and you are stuttering." In this way, I can't understand anything! How much money did you spend to donate this official? Could it be that your boss replied like this?"

"Back to... my lord," Meng Xianyou kowtowed. ! Day by day... It's been a long time, and I don't... don't care about it anymore. My lord, your name is Nunu... you only sing about love, so you don't stammer... stop stammering..."

Yin looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "Okay, it's interesting, you sing! Who told you to pick me up?" Don't stutter.The guards of the two verandahs followed the unlucky prince. They had been on a lonely journey for many days. When they saw someone in the main hall singing love songs, they couldn't help but join in to listen to the excitement, but they heard Meng Xianyou sing:

Chitose, please listen carefully.
The servant sings love for you.

Don't dare to make a mistake to pick up the king's car,
It's all because of the constitutional order from Baoding mansion.

If you receive the fourteenth master, you can return it.
If you can't get the fourteenth master, you can't be an eighth-rank official!
Although the lyrics are vulgar, they are clear and clear. Yin did not expect him to sing so fluently, so he suppressed a smile and said, "I just came to Niangziguan. Baoding Mansion has such long ears!" Meng Xianyou bowed his hands and sang slowly:

The grievances inside, the slave can't figure it out.

Last night an official came to Jingxing,
Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, named Tian Wenjing,
I was ordered to go to Shaanxi to comfort the military camp,

Bring this decree along the way,

Order the servant to take the warm sedan back to Jingxing.

The 45-mile mountain road made my slave's hair bald—ah
Squeaky brother!Singing here, closing the board, he sang "Ya Zhi Ye Yao Ge" so that everyone in and outside the hall bowed their backs, fell their feet and beat their chests and laughed loudly.Yin couldn't hold a sip of tea and sprayed it on his sleeve, but he soon understood how tightly he was being controlled.His complexion gradually changed, he stood up and said coldly: "It's hard for the governors of Zhili and Shanxi provinces. This heavy snow is ten times harder than my king's walking! Since you brought a warm sedan chair, you are also counted." With a sincere heart, this king will go away in a sedan chair." After saying that, he got up, Meng Xianyou kowtowed and got up to greet the sedan chair and horses, while Yin's entourage, Qian Yundou and others hurriedly prepared their luggage.

"Master Fourteen," a royal guard saw Yin coming out buttoned up, and rushed forward to report, "What should I do with that woman? Should I send her back to Dai County, or take her away?" He said and handed over the cloak .

"How is her body?"

"It's good. It was warm last night and it's here."
