Chapter 6 In the Vortex
On the 16th day of the first lunar month of the 41st year of Kangxi, Prince Cheng, Yinzhi, gave up the book and resigned for his eldest son to go to the study room to study. The reason was that he was young and naughty, and he might lose the court's dignity. The emperor refused and replied: "I am determined not to be old, but Hongqing is the grandson, and I am very happy."
After the old man's approval, the government and the people burst into trouble, and rumors suddenly arose. The Prince Cheng's Mansion immediately became the focus of all interested people. The old man had no explanation and got off the capital early on the 18th of the first lunar month and went to Wutai Mountain for a tour. What's interesting is that the old man who has always liked to travel with his sons was simply following this light car. Except for a pearl, he did not bring anyone else, and he didn't even give the usual decree to the prince to supervise the country, and left with mercy.
The old man left like this, but Prince Cheng's mansion became frustrated. First of all, the pressure in the court increased sharply. Although the Ministry of Rites, which was responsible for Yinzhi, made frequent mistakes, it was not a big mistake, but after all, it was a small mistake. It was inevitable that people would criticize him. Then several servants who were out of the room were impeached, those who were lost in the official position were impeached, and those who were imprisoned were impeached, and those who were imprisoned were impeached, and those who were imprisoned were impeached, and the third master was disgraced. In the end, he sent letters to the other end of the study room to urge him, and his tone was colder again and again. What he wanted was to ask the third master to send him away quickly. In just a few days, the poor third master, who had always been good at dancing, became the target of public criticism. It was really miserable.
What to do? The cold salmon, the third master who was forced to do nothing, became popular. Isn’t it just a study room to go to school? Just send it to him!
"..., Qing'er, going to the study room is no better than other places. Never be a little bitch. If you have any questions, you should bear it beforehand. Take a step back. The vast sky is vast. Never fight for a moment. If you bring these silver notes, you can have a point. Be careful not to make an idle life..."
Seeing that the eldest son who was still happy yesterday was about to step into the whirlpool of the court in a blink of an eye, the princess Dong E was extremely reluctant to leave. When she woke up early in the morning, she pulled Hongqing to give instructions and was about to go out. She kept reminding her again and again. Not only did she talk nonsense, but she was not idle in her hands, she stuffed the red envelopes she had already prepared into Hongqing's book bag, and her doting feelings were beyond words.
"A loving mother will lose her son!"
The third master was in a bad mood, and when he saw that the mother and son were chatting, he was not finished. He was even more upset. As soon as he touched his mouth, he couldn't help but say something.
"Um?"
Dong E is not an ordinary woman. As the daughter of the general, she not only has outstanding skills in riding and shooting, but also has great skills in fisting and kicking, but also has a hot temper. Although she dared not interfere in political affairs due to the ancestral system, she is the only one in this huge county prince's mansion. When the Third Master said this, she immediately stopped doing it. The beautiful Liuye raised her eyebrows and the anger in her eyes suddenly swept on the Third Master.
"This..., haha, Duan Niang, it's getting late, and it's a bad time if you miss it, so let's do it first."
Although the third master did not have the problem of "tracheitis", he was still a little scared of Dong E, who had excellent fist and foot skills. When he saw Dong E's face turned cold, he immediately became soft, but he was unwilling to lose face in public, so he could only smile awkwardly and explain with some slight thought.
"snort!"
Dong E was angry, but in public, it was difficult to slander her husband's dignity. So she just snorted coldly and then stopped talking. But she changed her tone after receiving the explanation to Hongqing: "Qing'er, remember, our family doesn't cause trouble, but there is no need to be afraid of trouble. Someone really dares to climb on our heads and act like a blessing. If you beat me, I will make the decision for you!"
Try? This...
When he heard his mother suddenly changed his tone, Hongqing was a little stunned. He looked at his pitiful little arms and legs with a bitter face. He really didn't know what kind of "beat it". It was almost the same if he was "beat it". It was just that my mother had an order, but Hongqing didn't dare to say no. She could only look respectful and said: "Don't worry, mom, I know what to do."
"It's good to know, go and go early, my mother is waiting at home, let's go."
Although Dong E still had thousands of words to explain in his heart, he knew that time would not be delayed, so he explained again with concern, and then he sent the father and son to the sedan chair. In a moment, a command sounded, and the vast crowd had already turned out of the screen wall and rushed straight towards the imperial city...
"I've paid tribute to the third master."
When they arrived at the palace gate, the father and son handed over the sign and tested their bodies. They went straight to the study without saying a word. Just as they arrived at the Liangyi Hall at the junction of internal and external bans, they saw a middle-aged eunuch hurriedly coming forward, and made a gesture to ask for a big gift to see him.
"Eunuch Li is polite, please."
When Yinzhi saw that the visitor was Li Dequan, the eunuch in charge of the study room, he naturally did not dare to accept the great gift. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and held it with a smile. He flicked his hand and a folded silver note flew quietly into Li Dequan's sleeve.
"What should be done, what should be done, ah, is this Prince Hongqing?"
Although Yinzhi's money-stopping action was hidden and quick, Li Dequan obviously knew it. With money, the smile on his face became a little real. Although the man stood up, his waist was always bent and greeted with a smile.
Haha, this guy collects money very accurately, and it’s natural to get used to it.
Hongqing followed her father, small in size, and looked upward, and naturally saw the bribery of both parties. She couldn't help but wonder, but her face was very calm. She took two steps and said in a regular manner: "Eunuch Li, it's early."
"Young prince, you are polite. I have heard that Xiao prince is quite extraordinary. When I saw him today, it turns out that way. He really has a tiger father without a dog son. OK, okay, OK, oh, the time is coming, so please stop now."
Li Dequan is one of the eunuchs who listened to the most by the old man. He is very informed. How could he not know that the father and son in front of him are now in a whirlpool. Even if he collects money, he still doesn't want to chat with the two of them. After praising Hongqing a few words, he waved his hand and urged him to ask for it.
"Well, Qing'er, don't mess around, otherwise, be careful of your skin."
Yinzhi originally wanted to dig out some news from Li Dequan, but when he saw that the other party had been silent, he couldn't help but slap again. He could only give a stern command and leave with a bad attitude.
"Little Prince, please stop."
After Li Dequan bowed and watched Prince Cheng leave, he did not delay much and urged him again.
"It's been a labor."
Others don’t know what kind of person Li Dequan is, but Hongqing knows it well. Although this old boy looks harmless, he is actually the leader of the Thirteenth Yamen, and he is dedicated to the work of monitoring the government and the people. Hongqing naturally dares not be careless about such people. Not only did he be polite, but he was not idle either. With a shaking hand, he bounced the red envelope that had already been held in his palm into Li Dequan’s wide sleeves.
"Young Master, please, please."
Li Dequan had already received Yinzhi's silver notes. He really didn't expect Hongqing to come so well and even play so skillfully. He was very surprised for a moment. But no matter how surprised he was, Li Dequan would not refuse the benefits of delivering to the door. Of course, he would not say much gratitude for this. At most, he would be a little more polite than before.
I just go there, just go to the study room. We have been in the middle school, middle school, and university, and we are still afraid of this!
Although Hongqing was hoping to get into the central location of Shangshu, she felt a little worried when she was about to come. But now, there was no way out. She could only cheer herself up in her heart, without saying much, and walked towards the Ganqing Gate not far away...
