Emperor Yongzheng: Eagle Bow Sirius

Chapter 54
The two Yun Yun brothers discussed closely for another half an hour in the study, and they heard the chiming clock strike one o'clock, and it was already the beginning of the card.Yun got up and smiled and said, "That's it, I have to pay the order to 'Yongzheng Lord'. You go in tomorrow to bid him farewell, and the day after tomorrow he will go to Henan." Yun also got up, stretched his yawn loudly Said: "Yindi, wait for the robes and coats for the Lord! I will go with Lord Lian!" Yun hurriedly said: "What's the hurry? I'll go and answer first to see what the emperor wants. It's not too late for you to go in tomorrow. Besides, It’s too eye-catching to walk together.”

"If I don't go together, I'm not a member of the 'Baye' party?" Yun Youyindi fiddled with her clothes and said with a smile, "If you don't come today, I will go too. Seventeenth old Gege is sick, I have to See you, An'er. The sedan chair walks on the sedan chair road, the horse walks on the road, what's the hindrance?" One said, the other came out, and the other stepped on the steps and said loudly: "Qian Yundou, call the Cai family to prepare the sedan chair, and Yindi will accompany the master to enter. palace!"

So the two brothers took two big sedan chairs back and forth, but they didn't follow the way Yun came, and went straight from Shenwu Gate to Xihua Gate. Go north to the side hall of the fasting palace to see the Seventeenth Aunt, and see Yunxiang leading the eunuch with a big screwdriver through the gate of Rijing and enter the palace, Yunyuan stands still, only pretends to lift his shoes and don't turn his face away, until Yunxiang's people are all gone In the past, "shoes" were only mentioned.

The seventeenth emperor's face was flushed, panting for a long time and half lying on the big pillow, eyes closed, making "cough cough" sounds from time to time, but she couldn't spit out a mouthful of phlegm.She clutched the front of her chest tightly with both hands, and turned over from time to time, twitching in pain, sometimes a convulsion seemed to wake up a little.Yun came in with Yindi, and saw a large group of maids standing aside holding towels and mouthwashes, but they didn't dare to show their air. They could only hear the bellows-like panting and moaning of the Seventeenth Queen and the conversation of the imperial physicians behind the gauze drawer next door discussing soup. Whispering.Seeing that Yun seemed to be standing there at a loss, a personal court lady whispered to Seventeenth Aunt Huang's ear: "Old Gege, Lord Fourteen is here to greet you. Just close your eyes and rest, don't move."

"Yes," the seventeenth emperor groaned twice, turned around slowly, opened her eyes suddenly, and waved with difficulty, "Come here..."

Seeing that the usually bright and simple old Huanggu suddenly fell ill, Yun's nose was sore, tears blurred his eyes, he walked a few steps in a hurry and beat him down one by one, and said with a choked voice: "Brother Yun... Greetings to Seventeenth Sister! In just a few days, you are so sick that people can watch..." She wiped her tears as she spoke.Aunt Seventeen stared at Yun, her body twitched violently, she coughed twice, and spit out two mouthfuls of phlegm. Her chest felt much better immediately, but she still had the same fiery temper, and said with a smile: "The Buddha hasn't confiscated me yet, you Why don’t you cry for me? Don’t give me your tears! Go ahead, I have something to tell you.” Yun stood up, bowed before the couch, and said, “I don’t think Huanggu’s illness is relevant to me. Yes. Just say what you have to say, and just order what you want.”

"My illness is well known in my heart, and it won't be over." The Seventeenth Aunt Huang's eyes flickered for a moment, and for a moment, Yun felt that the Seventeenth Sister must have been a dazzling beauty back then.Just as she was in a daze, the seventeenth aunt gasped again and sighed: "According to our Aixinjueluo family's Gege, there are only two people who have lived past the age of 50 since the great grandfather. I am the one with the longest lifespan. Already 63 years old, contented. Taking advantage of this breath, let me advise you a few words, are you willing to listen?"

"Well, fourteenth brother, listen up!"

"I'm a woman," Aunt Seventeen coughed dryly, and her voice became stagnant, "I shouldn't care about the messy things outside your palace, there is only an old saying 'Brothers are of one heart, and their benefits can break gold', don't you understand? The past is long gone, don't keep twisting and tearing it so that not only the future generations will see the joke, but also let the Han people see it, what's the matter with you? Forget it, let it go, don't make trouble with the emperor, he has His difficulties, when it comes to your fourth brother, he is not a bad person..." Yun didn't expect her to point her head so clearly, she couldn't help trembling in shock, and hurriedly said: "Sister Seventeen, you can rest at ease, no What’s wrong with me and the emperor’s mother and compatriots? Besides, the separation of monarchs and ministers, I dare not have any trouble.” “Forget it.” The Seventeenth Auntie patted the back of Yun’s head, stroking his thick and thick hair. She has long and smooth braids, and said with a half-smile, "Women have long hair, but do you guys have short braids? My sister told you, I underestimated you when you grow up. My sister knows which hozen is on which tree!" Among these nephews, the ones I love the most are you and the old thirteen, who followed my sister to pick pomegranates and steal pears in the imperial garden! Seeing your birth, my sister felt bad, but she dared not say a word! Now ... Now that the time of life and death has come, you can say what you can't say. To tell you the truth, the world is so big, and there is no one who can hold my shoulders and say a few words with your fourth brother firmly! I am going! , if you continue to make trouble, who can beg for you like my sister?" As she said, big tears rolled down her cheeks.

Looking at the dying Seventeenth Sister, Yun felt a pang of sadness in her heart, shed tears unknowingly, and said in a warm voice: "Sister, don't worry, don't think about it, you have a long life! I... listen to you That’s it.” I wanted to go on, but when I heard footsteps approaching outside the courtyard, I couldn’t help being stunned when I looked back, and I was going to avoid Yongzheng, but Yongzheng also came.Dozens of court ladies and eunuchs inside and outside the side hall knelt down when the emperor came in.Yun Wu's eyes blurred from tears, he glanced at Yongzheng, then knelt down beside the couch, and said: "The sinful minister is allowed to kowtow to the emperor."

"My brother, get up!" Yongzheng said, approaching Aunt Seventeen, and seeing Aunt Seventeen staring at him intently, she leaned over and sat on the side of the couch, and said softly, "Sister Seventeen... Do you feel a little better?" The seventeenth emperor nodded on the pillow, "I have seen everyone except the eldest and the second, and I feel a lot more at ease. Sigh... my sister will have a good life in a few days, and it is the former emperor. Lord, he treats me differently from other Heshuo princesses. Sometimes I smack his forehead and scold him, but he just laughs. My sister thinks about it. When it comes to the law of the country, my status is worthless, but my sister always thinks that she is a Woman, she is an old widow, she is always in front of you, and she doesn't think that you are the king of a country, don't you blame my sister?" Yongzheng said with a tearful smile: "Since ancient times, the emperor has no family happiness. Whatever you want, you can do whatever you want. In fact, it’s all in the show. Even if you have something to say, you can’t say it freely. You know that Ha Qing is dead, and your son is safe and sound. At the beginning, I could only tell my elder sister and queen mother that way. Is it difficult for me? When it comes to loneliness, the neighbors are unreliable, the six relatives are hard to recognize, and the emperor is also the first one. That is the elder sister. Myself, that's why you are sick, I feel anxious, no less than Lafayette's uneasiness—it happens these days, and I am so busy that I can't come to see you every day—this is because the imperial doctor and the servants, there are no waiters. Did you arrive?"

The seventeenth emperor coughed violently for a while, spit out another mouthful of phlegm, touched her heart with one hand, panted for a while, turned her face and said to the crowd: "You all get out! - In my capacity, how dare the servants be negligent? - —Your Majesty, don’t worry about this one. I know your brother. His face is cold, and his heart is clear. First, Aunt Su Mala and Kong Sizhen are here. They often talk about you. Even though I was young at that time, I listened to them In my heart, you are shrewd and capable, have a clear distinction between good and evil, do things without sloppiness, and trim your appearance. No one in my elder brother can compare to you. The late emperor lacked energy in his later years. In fact, this court situation is supported by you and the old thirteen. Well, my sister is not telling lies, the late emperor chose you to rule the world, and your eyesight is not bad." Then he looked at Yun who turned sideways and lowered his eyes, and then said: "But my sister does have something in her heart, you are too It's clear, do you understand?"

"Sister Seventeen!"

"Listen to me," the seventeenth imperial aunt coughed, "you don't spend as much money as the late emperor every ten stops, and you haven't heard of which concubine you love the most, and you don't drink too much alcohol. Still doing things, when it comes to diligence, the first emperor was not as good as you when he was young. The emperor keeps his promises, and he cannot lose his prestige. If he wants to make his subordinates fear, respect, love and cannot leave him, you are not as good as the late emperor!"

Yongzheng felt a wave of heat in his heart, but he felt sweet, bitter and sour.He looked at the seventeenth emperor's aunt who was sick and broken, and really wanted to express his thoughts, but the dignity and pride of the emperor stopped him, and he just sighed in his heart: How did you know that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind keeps on going!Others are not content with being a minister, how dare I be content with being a monarch without vigilance?Thinking in my heart, I said softly: "Sister, I know what you said. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. If you can tolerate it, I will try my best to tolerate it. You rest and rest. When you recover from illness, we will take care of you. Make homework!"

"Sister is going to die." Aunt Seventeen closed her eyes and murmured, "I am comforted in my heart. God has eyes. Ha Qingsheng violated the military law. My little nephew doesn't have to marry that rabbit... our royal family My aunt and grandmother are all miserable... I see you all, I see you all, only the eldest and the second child, alas..." She smacked her lips and stopped talking.

The "boss" is Kangxi's eldest son, Yun, who was imprisoned in Chengde in 47 for punishing the prince's "second" with the Nightmare Suppressing Demon Law. The "second child" is the former Prince Yun, who was deposed and imprisoned in Kangxi in 51 years, and imprisoned in the Xian'an Palace not far from here-limited by the national legal system, no matter how much the seventeen emperors thought about it, Yongzheng could not agree.Thinking about it, Yongzheng said with a smile: "Yun is a beast in clothes, what's the benefit of the seventeenth sister seeing him? The second brother... Yesterday Xian'an Palace sent a message to the Ministry of Internal Affairs that he is also sick now. In this way, I will go with the fourteenth brother I will visit him for you, and when you recover from illness, let the Lifan Court discuss his affairs again, just look at it, but there is a glimmer of light, I will never make things difficult for the second brother." Seeing that the seventeenth aunt had nothing to say, Yongzheng signaled to Yun.Yun Hui came out of the palace, turned to Yindi and said: "You just wait here, I will walk with the emperor, come back and walk together."

Yongzheng walked away, listened to Yun's words, and when he looked back, he met Yindi's eyes, and Yindi hurriedly squatted down to salute Yongzheng.Unexpectedly, when Yongzheng saw Yindi for the first time, it was like encountering a ghost suddenly in the middle of the night. He was so frightened that he took two steps back, staggered a bit before standing still, and then rubbed his eyes to look carefully.Yuncong had never seen Yongzheng's panic-stricken face before, so he couldn't help but be amazed.Seeing the emperor staring at her like this, Yindi felt embarrassed, blushed immediately, and just bowed her head in silence.After a while Yuncai said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Your face is so pale that you don't have any blood left?"

"Huh? Huh..." Yongzheng came to his senses, looked at Yindi again, looked away, walked away slowly, and slowly recovered his calm, while walking, he said: "It's nothing, now I often Suffering from dizziness, it will be fine for a while—is this girl in your room?"

Yun walked half a step later with Yongzheng, walked out of the palace to Xian'an Palace, and said, "It's my girl."

"Bought it?"

"No. She is a person involved in the Nuomin case in Shanxi. She was sent to Beijing as a witness. I saw that she was homeless and took her in."

"She... is from Shanxi?"

"It's from Daizhou, Shanxi," Yun felt startled, for fear that Yongzheng proposed to introduce his wife, and resigned because of the money, "On that day, the emperor called me back to Beijing, and I had a relationship with her in Niangziguan. She can't bear to part with me..." Immediately, he described the situation of Shanshen Temple's rescue of Yindi in a long and short way, and finally said: "The emperor knows that I don't expect to repay my kindness, so I will take her true love. She simply opened her face. What, the emperor... you?"

Yongzheng listened silently, and looked back at the large group of eunuchs and guards following him. After a long time, he took a heavy breath and said, "It's nothing, don't worry too much. I think she looks like the one who passed away... Zheng Gong People, so I was taken aback." After that, he lowered his head and put his hands behind his back, just pondering.Seeing the worry on his face, Yun seemed to be very sad. For some reason, he didn't want to ask any more questions, so he could only persuade with a smile: "There are many people who look similar in the world! How many times have you met Yin Jishan and Yang Mingshi, and sometimes I call you by the wrong name— — Your Majesty, this is the Xian'an Palace, and the second brother is... imprisoned here."

"Oh!"
