Looking up at the majestic gate of Prince Gong's Mansion, Yi Pei had mixed feelings in his heart. They were all the sons of the late emperor. Why was it that his fourth brother, sixth brother, and seventh brother were all dragons among men, but he was adopted by Amma? ?
Why can the sixth and seventh brothers live in the city, but my own palace is outside the city? Why can they control the situation in the court, but they have to hang out in the market, pretending to be rough and paralyzing them?
Why? There was a fire burning in Yi Pei's heart. He knew that the cause of everything was because of his father, Emperor Daoguang. Because Amma didn't like him and because he didn't study as well as them, so he adopted himself to King Dun Miankai. His title is King Dun, so his status is not as good as theirs. Pinshu.com ( . .
But I am also Amma’s biological son, why should I be so unfavorable to others?
It’s better to be the fourth brother. It was the fourth brother who gave me the title of prince and the errand that the fourth brother arranged for me. Although it was a sinecure, the fourth brother did not forget me and he still recognized me as his younger brother.
And what about you? When did you ever look at me, the fifth child, with your eyes? On the surface, I look harmonious, but actually I know that you look down on me.
Just when Yi Pei secretly felt cruel, the side suddenly opened and a eunuch trotted out from inside. When he met, he kowtowed, "Greetings to Prince Dun! It's so early and late, why did the prince come in person... My prince has already fallen asleep." , as soon as I heard that Prince Dun was coming, I got up from the bed and was washing my face, so Prince Lao was waiting..."
The eunuch lowered his eyebrows and invited Yi Pei inside. At this time, the guard beside King Dun quickly took out a small silver ingot and stuffed it into it.
This is not a bribe. In fact, in the late Qing Dynasty, things like door bags were just like tips from Westerners. They were gifts given to you by your master. It was reasonable for Yi Pei to give some grace to the eunuch.
When other officials give eunuchs gifts, that is filial piety.
"Thank you for the reward... By the way, my prince is not in a good mood today. His face has been gloomy all day. It may be caused by the war in the south. Prince Dun, you are the elder brother. Please advise my prince to order it!" "
"Okay, I'll remind you, old dog, to go and make a pot of my brother's good tea. Don't save him money..."
Yi? Today, he stayed in Cuijin Garden, which is the back garden of the entire Prince Gong's Mansion. The scenery is extremely beautiful. Although it is the beginning of spring, the trees are not completely green and the flowers are not blooming, but Yi Pei can still feel the beauty here.
The moonlight shines on the rocks of Taihu Lake, the surface of the lake shines with silver light, the wicker branches sway after the wind, and there are birds raised by Yi Pei singing in the corner... With such a beautiful scenery, Yi Pei couldn't help but stop and look blankly at the last year in the lake. The residual lotus, listening to the bits and pieces of sound in the silence.
The beautiful scenery is indeed more intoxicating than the wine!
"Fifth brother! Fifth brother? Fifth brother..." Three calls finally woke up Yi Pei who was in a daze by the lake. The awkward Yi Pei turned around to look at his sixth brother and said with a smile, "Every time I see the bat pond, I I remember He Shen’s allusion and I want to laugh every time..."
Yi? also laughed. The Bat Pond is the small lake in front of him. It is named because it is shaped like a bat. The flying bat is very close to the image of Yuanbao. In addition, the word "bat" and the word "福" have the same pronunciation, so here The meaning is very auspicious.
It is said that when Heshen built this place, he specifically ordered elm trees to be planted on both sides of the bat pond. When the wind blew the elm trees and the strings of 'elm coins' fell into the water, Heshen would happily say, "The money on earth is mine, and the money in heaven is mine." It's still mine." In addition, the bat pond only has a water inlet and no water outlet, which means that wealth can only enter but not exit. It can be said that all the mechanisms have been exhausted.
"Money is originally shared by five families, one is water, the second is fire, the third is government, the fourth is thieves, and the fifth is prodigal son... The stupid people in the world think that if the money is mine, it must belong to me, but in fact it is not..."
"In a fire or water disaster, your money is not yours. When a war breaks out, your money is not yours. When the government confiscates it, it is even less yours... Even if you escape all these plotters, you will still be there in the end. You have a prodigal son helping you squander it! It’s really sad to think about what happened to He Shen back then!"
Yi Pei sighed, then pointed to the stone slab beside the bat pool and said, "Just sit here and talk, the night is very nice, don't let it down!"
The two brothers were drinking tea by the lake under the moonlight. From a distance, it looked like a picture of brothers on a blind date, but if you got closer and listened to their conversation, it would be a bit worrying.
After all, Yi Pei is also a descendant of Aixinjueluo. He still hopes that the court will be well. Although Li Tuo and others tried hard to persuade the prince not to reveal the news, he couldn't help it. He had to say that even if he didn't talk to the court, he still had to tell his brother in private. Just a heads up.
However, he did not expose Yang Zhi and Li Tuo. He just said that he analyzed everything by himself. Although there was no evidence, his intuition told him that Xiao Letian would win in the end.
"Sixth brother! Let's put aside our prejudice against Xiao Letian. In fact, we should admire this man's ability. He can work hard on his own until now. Will he be a reckless man? So let's talk about the naval battle at the mouth of the Minjiang River. It must not be simple behind the scenes. Our court must make preparations in advance! What if Xiao Letian wins? Do we have any plan..."
Yi? was stunned. He was not surprised by what Fifth Brother said, but was surprised by Fifth Brother's attitude. Why did the absurd prince, who was known as the fifth master of the capital and loved to hang out in the market, suddenly become interested in matters in the court? Want to get in on the action? But he has already missed the best opportunity to enter the game.
He didn't get involved in Xin Younian, and he didn't get involved when the two empress dowagers on Jingshan Mountain turned against each other. Why would he want to get involved now?
After thinking for a moment, Yi? said, "Actually, I have thought about Fifth Brother's worries, but the atmosphere in the court is not very good now. Everyone is waiting for Xiao Letian to fall into the water so that he can beat the drowned dog. Even if we remind him now, no one may listen. ah……"
"You have to speak even if you don't listen! It concerns our Manchu country and cannot be treated as a child's play... Let's not talk about anything else. Let's talk about the old Nanpiao sold by the imperial court. Since the task of smashing the market has been completed, It’s time to recycle it now…”
"Be careful, the imperial court will really lose everything!"
The two brothers discussed it until midnight. Yi Pei did not go home tonight, so he stayed in Cuijin Garden. Even Ye Yi and several staff around him discussed it carefully for a long time, but no one could figure out the result. What kind of medicine is sold in Yi Pei Gourd?
The only explanation for saying such words at the most unsuitable time to enter the game may be simply because of Yi Pei's sincere heart.
But it is a pity that the relationship between the sixth brother and the fifth brother is not very good. In the night, he stared at the direction where Yi Pei was resting with bright eyes, and secretly sneered in his heart.
"Haha... I also hope that the court will be well, but some people naturally don't want to make things easier for me... Fifth brother, you think that Cixi and Ci'an were given for free, and we brothers will not be married to them in the end. clothes!"
"Cixi is just a slut, and the son she gave birth to is full of ambition. In fact, she and his mother have the same virtues... If they get better, I'm afraid it will be the beginning of my future misfortune!"
"So, it's a good thing to stumble a little. Otherwise, how can we show ourselves as the mainstay of our new army?"
