Aixinjueluo Yipei, the fifth son of Daoguang, did not like to study since he was a child, he was chivalrous and unruly, so he was not liked by his father. He was later adopted by Prince Dunke Miankai and became Prince Dunqin.
Since Yi Pei was adopted by his biological father, he naturally lost the qualification to compete for the great treasure. Historically, in the history of Daoguang's later years, the princes' succession mainly focused on the fourth brother Xianfeng and the old Liu Yi?
But no matter how the identity changes, people still understand the truth that blood is thicker than water. You can know it by looking at Xianfeng's attitude towards his younger brother after he came to power. Wenzong ascended the throne and was ordered to walk in the inner court. Yi Pei was repeatedly punished for being disrespectful. In March of the fifth year of Xianfeng's reign, he surrendered to Baylor, gave up all his posts, and went to study in the study. In the first month of the sixth year, he was granted the title of King of Dunjun again. In October, the prince entered. When Muzong ascended the throne, he was ordered not to kowtow or acknowledge his name.
Pressing down first, and then pulling up sharply, is the most classic way of showing kindness. Xianfeng was not unkind to his biological brother.
But after all, Yi Pei had studied too little and had too much business acumen, so he spent most of his time in idle positions. The one he held for the longest time was the dispensable position of Zongzheng in the Zongren Mansion, which in the eyes of the courtiers was The position is just a show-off. The real power among the princes depends on Yi?
He has a high position but not much power, and coupled with his unique status and protection, the fifth master of the capital has become even more unscrupulous. In the summer, he could squat under the city gate building and break watermelons with the soldiers guarding the barracks to eat, and then spit out a stream of black watermelon seeds on the officials passing by. Looking at the expressions of those people who dared not say anything, a group of people laughed. laughing out loud.
He could also walk in the alleys with his big yellow dog and an old sheepskin jacket in the heavy snow in winter. When he saw the small businessmen who were having a hard time, he might be able to throw away a tael of gold with a bowl of hot wontons. .
His chivalrous and willful spirit gradually gave him the reputation of a chivalrous king. Some old residents in the Four Nine Cities even compared him to Hong Zhou, the fifth master of the Qianlong Dynasty, and Yunxiang, the thirteenth master of the Kangxi Dynasty.
This is a very down-to-earth prince, and there is nothing he doesn’t know about the city. When people in the capital mention the name of the Fifth Master, they can’t help but raise their thumbs and say “chivalrous and loyal!”
But for such a prince with a high reputation in the market, none of Ci'an, Cixi, and Yi? actually regarded him as a threat. Yang Zhi couldn't understand this before, but today he completely understood it.
The Fifth Prince of Xia actually started a loan sharking business in Bada Hutong, and his clients were all nobles and nobles. He punched people when he disagreed with them, and he said nothing to the civil servant group represented by Confucian scholars. He's on top!
To paraphrase an old saying, you are a good person, but you are not like a good person! To put it bluntly, you don’t have the appearance and manners to be an emperor. If you were to ascend the throne, the world would be in chaos.
Moreover, the Fifth Master often stood up for the common people and bullied those Eight Banners dudes when nothing happened, which made the Eight Banners Group even criticize him.
Why did Li Tuo get involved with this man? Yang Zhi couldn't figure it out. Yi Pei didn't let him figure it out. He took Yang Zhi's wrist and walked to the backyard. He bypassed Yan Zhihu's gambling den and opium den and came to the backyard. In a room that was so hot that people were sweating all over. Li Tuo was pouring wine and drinking it himself.
"Come, come, come, come on, this house doesn't look good, but I spent thousands of taels on it to renovate it. The walls are all sandwiched between walls. There is a firehouse in the backyard, and more than 500 kilograms of fine silver charcoal must be burned in a day... ...Who makes me impatient to wear thick clothes!"
"Where's my tigress? She's out to pick up the guests..." Mr. Wu roared, and a woman with an energetic look on her face walked out angrily.
"Bah... you're so shameless. I'm the hostess, and I'm still calling to pick up guests... I'll pick up the curtain and pick up the guests tomorrow. I'll see how shameless you are in the end!" He laughed and cursed a few times, and then saluted Yang Zhiwanfu. , Yang Zhi knew that this was the fifth master's forbidden love, Rouge Tiger, so he dared not be rude and hurriedly returned the courtesy.
Yi Pei was just a shameless person. He didn't care at all when Yan Zhihu laughed and scolded her. Instead, he slapped her on the butt, "Face? Why do you need face? Those bastards in the court had already taken off their pants and let the foreigners do whatever they wanted. , the Qing Dynasty has long lost its face, why should I still have the face?"
"Let's eat! Let's drink! Let's play! Let's have fun every day! Tigress, if you go back to your old business, I, the fifth master, didn't say anything, and I will be a big teapot for you..."
Everyone in the backyard was used to hearing Yi Pei's nonsense. Yan Zhihu spat at him and refused to answer the question at all. He opened the curtain and let Yang Zhi in.
Li Tuo seemed to be a regular customer here, and he was not polite to the Fifth Master. He was sweating profusely after taking a sip of wine and a sip of food. Seeing Yang Zhi come in, he turned around and stuffed a cup in his hand, "Drink, drink! There's nothing else like this here." As for wine, the fifth master drinks Shaodaozi from outside Guan. If you want to hang out with the fifth master in the future, you have to practice your drinking ability..."
From the moment he entered this gate to now, Yang Zhi felt like he was in a dream. He found that he could no longer understand the forty-nine cities. Li Tuo, a small military aircraft department Zhang Jing, could hook up with so many petty officials. A huge network of relationships?
The fifth son of Emperor Daoguang actually became the King of Chivalry in the capital, doing loan sharking for fun? How many secrets are hidden in this mixed capital? Is there a secret behind Yi? and Yi Xuan?
Seeing that Yang Zhi was a little confused, Fifth Master and Li Tuo smiled. Yi Pei pursed her lips and Rouge Hu turned around and closed the door. The room suddenly became quiet.
Yi Pei smiled and said, "Do you know why I have the best relationship with Li Tuo? Because this kid has real stuff in his belly! Things that I couldn't even figure out in the past, let him just hold a pot on my head. After pouring it like this...Hey! Guess what? I just got enlightened..."
"Don't read too much! If you read too much, you will become stupid... Staring at the white-faced treacherous ministers and red-faced loyal ministers in the history books every day? Isn't there anyone who studies how those people who have not been included in the history books lived?"
"Looking through the history books of the past and present, the situation in the past few decades is just a few pages. How many people are qualified to leave their names on it? Let's just talk about the current dynasty. The officials in the four or nine cities in front of us add up to thousands. , the whole country adds up to tens of thousands! But a hundred years from now, who will be able to remember who?"
"Bah... Damn it, if future generations can remember eleven or two of us, then we will be famous for this day!" Yi Pei said with a smile, "Li Tuo can understand clearly, this drama of red face and white face is not the same as We don’t have a share, so if we want to sing, we’ll just sing a shameless show!”
"Today, Fifth Master, I want to ask you the truth. I, Fifth Master, are going to do something big. How much money can you prepare for Fifth Master?"
