Everyone sits and waits for Yinfeng cup

Chapter 218 Everyone sits and waits for Yinfeng cup
Time flies, the short Spring Festival holiday has passed, and today is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the first day of work.During this period, Minzhi’s imagining that Yinhu took Tong’s back to her natal family did not happen at all, but Tong Guowei personally wrote a letter to pick up his granddaughter to visit relatives. Yinhu didn’t raise his eyelids, and only asked Zhou Xiang to prepare a gift. They also sent two of Lu Jiu's apprentices to send her back, and told them to bring her back that night.

So, Tong Shulan went out early in the morning and came back in the evening, and didn't even stay at Tong's house for dinner.After returning, Yinhu ignored her, he was busy dealing with letters from various parties.Since the massacre of homing pigeons in the south of the Yangtze River last time, everything has been strangely quiet again, and the clues to the poisoning of homing pigeons have been completely erased, and it is impossible to see who did it.

Minzhi has always had a lump in his heart, but he just can't think of what will happen. According to the later letters, the south of the Yangtze River is calm, and the officialdom has become much quieter because of Kangxi's thunderous blow. Now the only thing we can look forward to is that this year is In the year of the competition, the triennial provincial examination.Yimen Academy is very famous, and Jiangnan is an important base of the imperial examination. Everyone's eyes are fixed on Yimen, waiting for Yimen to win the top three in this provincial examination.

After all, the teachers of Yimen, headed by He Zhuo, are all well-educated and well-known Confucian scholars. In addition, the atmosphere of Yimen is extremely clean and upright, and has been deeply rooted among the people.Experience suffering, and, most importantly, the students in Yimen are generally young, like Sun Jiagan, Ji Rongshu, etc., are all young people who are not as weak as the crown, this is completely different from the old schoolboys and old scholars who often have chicken skin and white hair in other places conceptual.In Yimen, there are many young talents like Ji Rongshu who have not yet reached the weak crown, waiting to win the first place in the provincial examination.

Sun Jiagan, also known as Xiao Mingyue, got No.1 in the children's examination early in the morning, which made even He Zhuo look up to him. He became the youngest scholar who participated in the rural examination this time.When Minzhi got the news, she was a little bit surprised, and specially verified Mingyue's age with Yinhu, and even he was surprised, this little Taoist boy who seemed to be full of personality and underage, took off his Taoist robe and transformed into a young genius, really Shibie will look at each other with admiration for three days.

Jiangnan and other rural examinations, the capital here is waiting for the crown prince and the party's big trial. Since Kangxi has not stepped out of the Qianqing Palace since the second day of the Lunar New Year, even the traditional activities of the Shangyuan Festival have been cancelled, and everyone has to wait. Extremely anxious, some people who made the mistake of liquidating Suo'etu last time are gearing up for this time, ready to show their talents.The ministers who originally supported the prince were at a loss.

They have experienced the emperor's methods. Suo'etu, who was in power at the time, was stunned by him. Even the Suohesheli family, Suo'etu's family, all immigrated to Ninggu Tower. It is estimated that it has taken root.

No matter how much background the courtiers are in the face of the imperial power, in the same way, when the emperor treats the prince and his son as two different things, he will choose a son who is like a pig, not a son who is like a king cobra Prince.

Today is the first day of work in the new year, and it is the first time in Beijing that the sedan chairs are jammed at work. Everyone wants to go to the Jinshui Bridge to wait for the door to open earlier, hoping to get the exact news of the disposal of the prince and his henchmen as soon as possible.

The same is true for Yinhu, as soon as the knock on the door rang, he immediately woke up. As the only one among the princes who went to court at five o'clock, he felt it was a privilege for the first time.

A certain person had just lifted the quilt, and Minzhi woke up beside her. She turned over and sat up, with sleepy eyes on her head, "Is it already time?" Yinhu stretched out his hand to touch her head, "Not yet, why don't you come again?" Go to sleep." So Minzhi fell down again.But as soon as he touched the pillow, he habitually grabbed his clothes. After touching for a long time, he found nothing. When he woke up again, he saw him wearing a middle coat and going out through the curtain.He hurriedly jumped out of bed and called him: "Wait a minute..."

Yinhu looked back in surprise, saw her swaying and "jumping" over, and quickly turned around to support her: "What are you doing up?" Minzhi patted her face with her hand: "Well, it's cold outside, you should change here, I'll help you." You..." Yinhu patted her hand away: "No need, Xiao Luzi is already ready, you go to bed, isn't today the day when the imperial doctor will consult with San'er? You will be busy later, be obedient, Go back and rest, I'm leaving."

After speaking, he opened the curtain and turned around to leave. Minzhi was still a little confused. Why was his tone so strange when he spoke just now?obedient?Is he coaxing me like a pet?Scratching her hair, a certain woman turned back and shrank back into the quilt angrily. In front of him, she was always quickly shifted.

Yinhu put on his official uniform, put on a warm hat, and went out in a sedan chair. Originally, the streets would not be blocked at all, because there were very few pedestrians at this time. In the Qing Dynasty, there were no sanitation workers who came out to work in the morning. The road is very smooth.But today everyone crowded together.

As soon as the sedan chair of Lianjun Prince's Mansion was on the street, he got on the sedan chair of the official minister Man Shangshu. He is Yinhu's old boss. When he saw Yinhu's sedan chair, he quickly ordered to make way, and opened the curtain to greet Yinhu.Yinhu nodded in return, and unceremoniously overtook the sedan chair of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and walked forward.

Then, Yinhu strangely met Mr. Shanmaertai of the Ministry of War, the father-in-law of the thirteenth master Yinxiang, and one of the three military symbols of the Qing Dynasty was in his hands.Seeing Yinhu's sedan chair arriving, the elder also politely stepped aside.Yinhu said hello all the way and "overtook" all the way, and secretly lamented that Huang Ama really gave herself a good job.

The only prince who goes to court every day, the only prince who holds real power, and the only fat sheep among the princes who can be seen by everyone, but this identity is accompanied by enemies and spies who emerge in endlessly. , I can't shoot casually, I must always pay attention to Kangxi's instructions like a marionette.This kind of day is really too challenging.

When the sedan chair arrived under the Jinshui Bridge, Yinhu found that there were many officials who arrived earlier than him. When he got off the sedan chair, everyone came up to say hello, with different expressions. face of contempt.Yinhu would not refuse anyone who came, and they all greeted each other with smiles, and practiced Tai Chi without pain. The officials present were all old-fashioned, their hearts were terribly anxious, and their faces were fake polite, discussing the 48th year of Kangxi Outlook.

On the contrary, Yinhu's old boss, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was more sincere. After he came up to say hello, he looked worried: "My lord, I'm afraid it will be another storm today!" The staff of our bureaucracy."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was warmed by his words "We are the Ministry of Officials". Yes, no matter how high the king of Lianjun climbed, he also slowly climbed out of the Ministry of Officials as a small student.Others said that King Yongjun was so good in the Ministry of Households, but only the Minister of the Ministry of Officials understood how much Yinhu had contributed to the archives management of the Qing Dynasty's official administration.

He personally sorted out the transcripts, and spent nearly two years establishing the most complete official files in the history of the Qing Dynasty, which are complete and easy to consult. He proposed the idea of ​​detailed salary, organically combining fixed salary and performance bonus, And never take these as their own credit.He promoted the reform of the bureaucracy, but no one knew it. Compared with Yinzhen who only tried to get money, Yinhu obviously won the hearts of his colleagues.

But all of this is just a secret among the officials of the Ministry of Officials. They all know how embarrassing the prince's situation is, and the low status of the mother and concubine makes him have to hide himself first no matter what he does, and he cannot do whatever he wants.The emperor kept his son by his side. On the surface, he was a pet and only he knew what was on his mind.

It is impossible for King Lianjun to inherit the Datong. If the emperor really wanted to, Concubine Liang would not still wear a criminal certificate after giving birth to twins.The emperor put Prince Lian on the stage, but did not give him the qualifications to compete. This is like fattening a duck, stuffing him with all the digestible and indigestible brains, making him super fat and beautiful on the surface. Infinity, but in fact it is a show, can't run or jump, can only close your eyes and wait for death.

The people under the Jinshui Bridge waited for the servant's summons amidst the warm greetings: "The emperor is coming to the Hall of Martial Arts!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the emperor had been saving for a long time and was ready to explode.Otherwise, today would be the visit to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

All the ministers gathered in front of the Hall of Martial Heroes one after another, and Kangxi's iconic bright yellow Yu Huan appeared in sight. Everyone held back and stretched their necks to see how the big boss, who hadn't seen him for more than ten days, looked like today.But after thinking about it, no one dared to really do that.Kangxi's emperor stopped two feet away in front of everyone, Wu Shulai helped him to get down, and then he said in a loud voice: "The emperor is here, all the ministers have come to court!" The crowd knelt down on the ground: "The ministers are waiting to welcome the saint!" Drive." Wen Chen prostrated himself, his face pressed against the floor tiles.The general took off his hat and touched the ground on one knee.

Kangxi approached slowly, glanced at the crowd of civil servants, and then he was as fast as the Hall of Martial Arts, walked to the dragon chair and sat down, waved his hand, Wu Shulai said again: "Long live Lord is coming to the palace!" Everyone stood up now. Standing up, brushing the dust off their bodies, they filed in. Civil servants and generals stood on both sides. Everyone lowered their heads, waiting for Kangxi to speak.

As a result, Kangxi's words surprised people: "I plan to inspect the water conservancy of Yongding River on the [-]th of the first lunar month. The list of accompanying princes has been drawn up. Three Baylor, King Yongjun, King Lianjun, Thirteen Baylor, and Fourteen Baylor will accompany you. Shangshu, Hubu Manhan Shangshu, and colleagues." The two department heads who were named hurriedly came out to take orders.

Regarding the second son of the emperor, Yinfeng, do you have any opinions on how to deal with it? "Kangxi Ban squinted his eyes, as if he was out of spirits, but when he asked, it made people jump in fear. Everyone was thinking, the big guys are here to listen to the wind and distinguish the sound, not to make head rafters, the emperor, you ask this But it hurts people invisible!
