    The emperor placed people around him, so naturally he also had his spies in Beijing.  /.  Updates so fast.  Before they even entered the city, they received news that General Manager Tong had been ordered to control the floods, and the deadline was only three months. He had already been appointed to take office.

    Song Yinfang was shocked to realize that she had caused a big disaster. She had overestimated the emperor's self-restraint. When he found out, he didn't hold back at all. He struck with all his strength and almost broke her heart.  She covered her face and cried, "I did something wrong. I didn't expect"

    In fact, she had thought about it, but she was just lucky, thinking that the emperor would finally ask her for her crime. Unexpectedly, he went to hunt cattle across the mountain and finally started to use the knife on her relatives.  She lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, "I will go to the palace to accept the crime and ask him to forgive me, Amma."

    Rong Shi grabbed her wrist and said, "It's useless to go now. The life you've given out can't be taken back. Don't worry, let me think of something. He's doing this just to force you."  'Come out and set him right, so that he can take the opportunity to negotiate terms with you."

    Songyin was so panicked. Being forced into this situation, she had no choice but to face it.  She 'withdrew' her hand and said, "Since he already knows everything, what conditions are there for us to negotiate? He hates me. He wants to kill me or cut me into pieces. I just ask him not to touch my mother."

    The Manchus are not as obsessed with chastity as the Han people, otherwise there would be no cases of stepmarriage between a brother-in-law and a sister-in-law.  She went to find the emperor, but he couldn't rest assured and forced her back to the car because he didn't want her to follow him. He had been hiding some things from her for a long time. Seeing him sitting there waiting for death, she must have felt insecure!  He hugged her tightly and said, "Listen to me, if he still can't let go of you, he won't do anything to your Ama. It's just a warning to us. No matter how good his calculation is, it's not enough."  Cruel, he left Master Guo's elder brother behind. As long as the child is here, we won't lose. Although the emperor has replaced someone he trusts, there are limits after all. I have been in the guard office for more than ten years, and everything is better than before.  He is familiar with him, and his throne will not be stable for three years, and three years is enough for us to take action. Do you know Prince Gong?"

    Songyin looked at him blankly, "Fifth Master?"

    He nodded, "He used to have the deepest relationship with the late emperor. They lived together in my elder brother's house, and they studied and fought together. Only because the queen mother targeted him several times in clan affairs, he gradually distanced himself from the late emperor. I mentioned the time before and after the death of the late emperor.  I told him the details that he almost entered the palace to fight against the emperor. I saw it in my eyes and knew that it was more than half done. Although his Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner are under the Five Flags, they are the most brave in actual combat. With the addition of Prince Su,  , Prince Jian, together we can definitely compete with today."

    She didn¡¯t expect that he was planning this quietly.  Thinking of the names of those princes, she felt weak, "They are all good at playing with cages and flying kites. Can this be done?"

    He smiled softly, "They are descended from the same vine. They have different temperaments, but the blood of their bones is the same. When Qiu was a child, no one was bad. Later, when the late emperor came to the throne, the empress dowager suppressed them one by one.  I have no choice but to become indifferent to government affairs. We are all descendants of the saint/grandfather, who wants to mediocrity and be an idle prince all his life? As long as you give them a chance, they can rise up."

    She gradually calmed down and thought carefully about whether it was feasible. "A few princes alone may not be enough."

    He turned his head and lifted the curtains on the window, and a beam of light hit the unicorn patch on his chest. Dragon scales and tiger eyes were never ordinary.  He looked at the mountains from a distance and said calmly: "Don't underestimate the ability of those royal relatives to fish in troubled waters. Who doesn't have three or two close disciples and servants? The civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty are like a vegetable garden.  , just pick up a tree, and you might pull out a bunch of potatoes, large and small. Those princes themselves do not participate in politics, and there are not a few flag slaves under each family who are important officials in Zhangjing. When the time comes, their masters and slaves will  Yes, after all, they are close by flesh and blood, and it is also a good climate to gather together."

    The political situation that had just settled down was unexpectedly about to stir up trouble again.  Songyin raised her heart, "How sure are you?"

    He said five points, "There is still one step left, and there is the will in Lu Run's hands."

    Songyin felt that this was not feasible, "The Emperor must know the decree, will he still keep it until now?"

    Rong Shi smiled, "Based on what I know about Lu Run, he won't leave himself a way out. People are unpredictable. They have one face when it's needed, and another face when they're not.  If he is not careful, Tan Rui will learn from his mistakes. When the late emperor was in power, Tan Rui's contribution was not small, so what happened? He is a prudent person, no matter how much he is a confidant, he will not 'hand over' his life to  The emperor must also know this, so he can't do anything to him."

    Songyin suddenly had mixed feelings. This is politics. Everyone has to be restrained step by step. He doesn¡¯t even have the last resort to defend himself. He doesn¡¯t even know how he died in the end.

    She is not like Rang Yu, who always panics when things happen. She has an idea in her heart and will follow his path.

    ?"My brother can't stay in the palace anymore. Staying here will be a disaster after all." She said thoughtfully, "After the fifth master's Fujin died of illness, he made a lot of concubines and concubines, and gave birth to a whole family of girls.  The son who only had a medicine jar went back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs every three days to ask the imperial doctor to see him. I thought about finding an opportunity to meet the Queen Mother and propose an adoption with her. If I could send my little brother to Prince Gong¡¯s Mansion  If you keep it, you can at least feel more at ease. Find a few people to take good care of it, it will be safer than staying in the palace."

    This is a way, but it may not work. After all, it is easy for my brother to grasp it in his hand, but it is difficult to handle it outside the palace.

    Rong Shi turned to look at her, a smile blooming at the corner of his lips. She was always like this, a bright individual, not a weak dodder flower. She did not need to rely on a man, but could actually help him when necessary.  He stretched out his hand to hold her, "I originally wanted to discuss with several senior officials secretly and ask them to go to Emperor Shu to open an office and build a mansion for my elder brother. Now that your idea is more convincing, I will do as you wish. I  Talk to the fifth master and let him make a statement. I can't talk to the inner court, so I have to trouble you. I haven't told you, just because I'm afraid of involving you. If something goes wrong, I won't implicate you. Who knows?  In the end, it¡¯s still up to you.¡±

    She looked at him sadly, "Do you think I will be grateful to you if you don't involve me? When the time comes, if you die and I marry my person, I will only have hatred left. Tell me now, in my heart  On the contrary, I am at peace, at least I have something to look forward to, I have something to do, and I don¡¯t have to stick my butt out and get beaten.¡±

    He took her hand and clasped it tightly in his palm, "There is also Amma's matter, don't worry. The officials in Tongshan and Qiantang are all from the Two Yellow Banners. I quietly ordered people to handle it and bring them in."  Then send a secret letter to inform Ama and ask him to tamper with the accounts. Anyway, if the construction period is not completed, the superiors will definitely blame them. When the time comes, the blame will be put on those people. Save your life first."

    She suddenly took a new look at him. She had always thought that he was a good family man. He did his best at work and worked as a carpenter and took care of the children. He was simple and happy, without any scheming or hostility.  Now it seems that this is not the case at all. His carelessness is just superficial. He clearly has a cautious side. He is unwilling to tell her about things that have not been done because not everyone around him is reliable and he is becoming more and more vigilant.

    She held his hand tightly, "Second brother"

    "Don't be afraid, I'm here." He kissed her on the forehead, "I want to protect my wife and children, I am a man."

    She had a smile on her face, but her nose was sore, and she deliberately teased him, "It really makes me feel bad for someone as stupid as you to put so much thought into it."

    He twisted around and said, "I'm just being stupid in front of you. Who dares to laugh at me?" After saying that, seeing that the car had entered the city, he ordered Chang Sui to go to Tong Mansion, "Ama has left Beijing, I will go to the old man  Madam, madam, please kowtow and meet the elders. My family has sent people back to notify you in advance, and we have decided to get married today. I want to see what the master can do to me."

    Songyin was a little flustered, "Is it settled today?"

    He smiled and said, "You are now mine, and why are you still holding on? I don't want to give you an excuse? You are willing to wait, but I am not happy yet!"

    After all, this day has finally come. What are you afraid of?  Her cheeks were hot and there was a determined light in her eyes.  Originally not planning to go in together, Amma would never tell the old lady that she had gone to Chengde, so she slipped back to the courtyard through the corner door to save some face.  Now that I think about it, if I don't let my family know, maybe there will be more problems later.  The jar simply broke and the adults on both sides had no way out, so they stopped.

    When the gatekeeper saw someone arriving, he stood on the steps and watched. When he got out of the car, they shouted, swept their sleeves and said, "Greetings to the second master."

    Rong Shi said in his mouth: "Reply to the old lady for me, madam, Rong Shi wants to see you." He said, and helped Song Yin down.

    The doorman was startled when he saw the second girl, looked at each other, and hurriedly entered the second door to send a message.

    The Tong family is a big family with a large number of people. When the news of the two of them coming back together spread, there was an uproar.  The ladies from several other mansions also came and gathered in the old lady's room to listen to what was going on.  When Rongshi entered, there was no one else around, so he kowtowed, "I haven't seen the old ladies in a long time, so Rongshi gives a big salute to the elders."

    The Manchu people pay special attention to daqian'er, which means kneeling on one leg. It is not so grand and is suitable for general greetings.  Kneeling is a great gift, but this has a different meaning.  Rong Shi is a first-rank official, and Mrs. Rong's imperial edict is only second-rank, so she can't stand his kneeling.  Regardless of the indiscriminate kowtow today, I thought there must be an explanation. Although I understood about 70% of it in my heart, I still couldn't live with it. "What kind of words are you talking about? I can't bear it." He ordered the people around him, "Hurry up and help the second master.  Get up, get up so you can talk.¡±

    Rong Shi politely declined the support and bowed respectfully twice and kowtowed six times. After the kowtow, he stood up, lowered his hands and said, "I'm not here for anyone else, but for you."Asking for marriage through "door".  I didn't dare to hide the matter between Songyin and me from our elders. We should have mentioned it long ago, but it was always delayed because of one thing or another.  She and I have gone through a lot of twists and turns, but our minds have never changed.  Now I can't bear it anymore. I want to marry her. No matter how hard it is, I must marry her.  It is my blessing that the old lady and my wife agree. If I don't agree, I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life. Please look at me and see if I can keep my promise.  "

    Everyone present was surprised when they heard this and looked at the old lady's reaction.  The old lady didn't speak for a long time. She slowly stroked the Persian cat lying on her lap with her eyelids lowered. She occasionally looked at the two of them. Finally, she pushed the cat away and said in a cold voice: "Second Master is here today, as expected.  It's reasonable. You two are good. I knew it last year. I'm not a weird old woman. I want to see my children and grandchildren happy. But what happened last time, she can forgive it because of your face. I'll take it for granted.  But my grandmother can't. Your wife is too powerful, and such a mother-in-law will not be able to take care of her in the future. We were born in Baoyi, worked as slaves for the emperor in the palace, and continued to be slaves when we returned home. With our talents, we, the second girl, cannot do this.  . You didn¡¯t see what happened that time. When she came back, her eyes were straight. Her and I felt pain in our hearts. She has always been strong. How has she ever been wronged like this? Let¡¯s tell it clearly. To you,  There is absolutely no picking and choosing. It is your old lady and your wife who are picking. We are so unkind. What do you think of us? The daughter of the Tong family has no worries about getting married. Even if she is a sister-in-law, she cannot enter your Rong family.  Furthermore" She looked at Songyin with reproach, "Are you sure about the current situation? Can the palace let you get married? You are a child. If you fall in love, you want to stay together forever. This is human nature.  , I don¡¯t blame you either. But you are all officials, do you still need my old lady¡¯s teachings on how to judge the situation? Your Ama was sent to be a river prisoner. Why, have you ever thought about it? "

    Songyin couldn¡¯t hold her head high after being told that she was so unreliable in her work this time. It was clearly the emperor¡¯s fault that Amma went to other places to control the floods, and it was her own boldness and willfulness that harmed Amma.  But now that she has handed it over to Rong Shi, will she just give up?  We've reached this point, and because of all the interference from the outside world, do we really want him no longer?

    She was in a dilemma. Rong Shi became anxious and hurriedly called the old lady, "You are the most compassionate person, can you just watch us suffer? When Rong Xu and Jin Mo got married, it was because they wanted their brothers and sisters to be able to move around together.  . Last time I went home to my mother to see Songyin, I always felt guilty towards her. I didn¡¯t dare to blame my mother. It was all my fault. If I hadn¡¯t been angry with the current saint, it wouldn¡¯t have led to that incident. The old lady didn¡¯t agree.  , I also thought about it before I came here. I really messed up the rules by rushing to the door like this. I just came back from outside and didn¡¯t have time to buy anything. I had already sent the message back, and everything I had prepared at home was brought into the house.  My wife doesn't want to continue, just send it to the temple to help the poor. I have a heart for Songyin, and as long as I do it, I will have a clear conscience. No matter how difficult it is in the future, I will shoulder it with all my strength. I ask the old lady to help you."

    He couldn¡¯t tell everything about his plans, so what he said inevitably seemed vague.  The old lady snorted, "If you bear it with all your strength, why should you bear it? Don't bring anything over. Even if it enters the 'door', I will throw it out. Don't make a fuss. It won't look good on everyone's face when you look back."

    Songyin knew that the old lady could no longer persuade her. Her prejudice against the Rong family had completely transferred to Rong Shi. Now, even if Rong Shi was made of gold, he would not be able to impress her anymore.

    She looked at her forehead. Her wife was standing next to her and couldn't say anything. Her face was always in a state of surprise.  Probably because he didn't understand how someone who claimed to be closed to guests due to typhoid fever went outside and met Rong Shi.  Instead of waiting for her to ask, she might as well confess herself. She made up her mind, "Old lady, madam, I haven't been at home at all these two days. I went to Rehe to look for him."

    "Four people are confused again. What does this mean?"  A girl travels such a long way to find a man?  The old lady was dumbfounded. She simply hated the iron. She patted the kang table and said, "You are such a talented person. You actually have the nerve to say that. I am so ashamed for you! Do you know you are ashamed? You rush to post it to others. You know.  What do other people think? Are you planning to give me a ride because I have survived for a long time? What kind of tutor in the Tong family raised such an evil person like you!"

    Songyin had never been scolded so harshly before, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and burrow down.  But she knew she would have to go through this process eventually, so she felt relieved when she said it out loud.  She and Rongshi knelt down and kowtowed side by side, "I accept the old lady's scolding and beating me. She just wants me and Rongshi to be married. We don't get married right away. We just want our family to know our determination. There is no 'manipulation'."  I also treat him as my son-in-law. As for the affairs in the palace, I will take care of them. Please don't worry, old lady. We are in a difficult situation at the moment, but we will get better gradually. Long live the Lord's plan. Seeing that the Eight Banners are about to  After the draft, this freshness will go to others in a short time. Our family has already made a fortune, and asked me to serve as a harem. Even if I became a queen, it would only be a name for the family, and my flesh and blood would be separated. Is this what the old lady wants?  "

    Although the old lady was very angry, what she said was not nonsense. Thinking of "Yu" is indeed heartbreaking. As long as the late emperor is still alive, there is finally hope.  Now that the late emperor passed away, she became a concubine, an eighteen-year-old widow, and she was handed over to the Forbidden City for the rest of her life.

    There are a total of four granddaughters in the eldest house. One died, two went to the palace, and the remaining Tongqing is ignorant, what's the use!  Songyin carried the hope of a whole family, and they originally planned to keep her at home and find a son-in-law.  If you enter the palace, you will be thrown into the cold water tank for nothing, and it will be completely cold.

    The old lady turned around and asked her, "This is your daughter, what do you want to do?"

    The wife is very tough on Amma, and she is submissive and does not dare to make any decisions in front of the old lady.  She looked at Rong Shi and bowed to the old lady, "It's up to the old lady to decide everything."

    At this time, Peng Lai's daughter-in-law came into the second door and sent a message, saying: "Mrs. Rong has asked her maternal uncle to send a betrothal gift. There is a cart full of cannons, bracelets, gold, wedding cakes, boxes and vegetables. Please make a decision, old lady."

    What should I do? When the words came to this, people also came to the door. It was not easy to bombard the outside. The old lady let out a long sigh and said, "You are trying to trick the whole family to death."

    Seeing that it was loose, the two people exchanged glances and felt happy in their hearts.  Rong Shi said: "Don't worry, old lady. I also know that it is not appropriate to make any noise now. I asked my uncle to be careful in advance and we will make an agreement in private. When the time is right, we will do it again and we will never wrong Songyin."

    He had a good idea of ??whether the emperor would have an attack. Less than three months after he ascended the throne, it was the time to hide his power and bide his time. With Yan Sui's cunning and cunning, it was impossible for him to ignore it.  But if we really want to make a fuss over this, it's okay. The more chaotic he is, the more opportunities they can take advantage of.  If the late emperor had not been afraid of the Queen Mother and selfishly worried that his brothers would seize the throne, so he got up early to revive those princes, Yan Sui might not be where he is today.  It's a pity that if he makes one wrong step, he will make mistakes every step of the way. He can only unite the princes after he ascends to heaven.  .
