[clear] track change

In the court hall, when everyone was guessing who the emperor sent to Jiangnan as an imperial envoy to investigate the private salt case, Yinfeng issued a strange decree.

Yin Zhi took over the imperial decree, really dumbfounded.Since the crown prince ascended the throne, he has always been well-behaved in the Ministry of Rites, not asking about court affairs, and concentrating on compiling books, but even so, the prince is not willing to let him go!

Thinking about the conversation a few days ago, Yinzhi couldn't help but sighed deeply.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"The third child is here!" Yinfeng's tone seemed to be chattering, "Give me a seat." The little eunuch quickly moved a chair.Yinzhi sat down nervously.

"Third brother, I'm looking for you today, so I won't beat around the bush, let's just talk about it!" Yinfeng stepped down from the case and walked to Yinzhi's side, "You know the case in Jiangnan, right?"

"Return to the emperor, I have heard about it." Yinzhi stood up nervously. In fact, he also had some relationship with the case of private salt. After all, private salt is easy to make money. The money earned from salt honors him.

"Well, it's good to hear." Yinfeng nodded, "The imperial examination is the cornerstone of the country, and the candidates admitted are the pillars of the country, but there are such big problems in the Jiangnan scientific examination, which is shaking the foundation of the country! "Yinfeng said regretfully.

Yinzhi was taken aback for a moment, it wasn't a matter of private salt!Isn't the scientific examination fraud case closed? !

"Third son, you have been in charge of the Ministry of Rites for many years, and you are talented and knowledgeable. You know more about the imperial examination than I do. This time I want to send you to Jiangnan to thoroughly investigate the fraud case in the scientific examination. What do you think?" Yinfeng seemed He didn't notice Yinzhi's abnormality, and said to himself.

"My younger brother must live up to the high expectations of the emperor!" Yin Zhi hurriedly expressed his determination.

"Okay, okay! Third, I will leave this matter to you this time. You must investigate carefully. You can't be perfunctory like before. If you don't get rid of the fraud in the imperial examination, wouldn't it be a cold world? A child's heart?" Yinreng happily supported Yinzhi and said.

"This time, I'm going to make you an imperial envoy to investigate the imperial examination case, and I'll give you the Shang Fang sword, which can be cut first and played later at critical moments!" Yin Reng turned around and picked up the sword on the imperial case and handed it to Yin Zhi.

"Thank you, Majesty Long En!" Yinzhi knelt down to receive the sword.

————————————————————————————————————————

After receiving the imperial decree, Yinzhi asked people to pack their bags and prepare to go on the road.He knew that he was just a cover, just to attract people's attention, so that the emperor could investigate the private salt case more smoothly.

Because there are too many people involved in the private salt, plus there have been accidents in Jiangnan before, and the people of each family have suffered losses. Now there are very few people who can blatantly go out of Beijing.

So Yinzhi knew that he had to leave quickly, otherwise someone would definitely come to him.

Sure enough, before Yinzhi left the capital, Yinzhen came to visit.

Yin Zhi has a headache, he has always kept a respectful distance from this younger brother.He used to naively thought that Yinzhen was just a princeling, but what happened in 47 made him see an ambitious Yinzhen.

Moreover, if it wasn't for the sudden death of the first emperor, Yinzhi felt that with his younger brother's acting skills and endurance, Yinzhen might become the final winner.

"Third Brother." When Yinzhen saw Yinzhi, he saluted politely, and Yinzhi hurriedly returned the salute. His younger brother was terribly observant of the rules, sometimes better than him, who was in charge of the etiquette department.

"What is the fourth brother doing here?" Yin Zhi didn't want to go around in circles, and decided quickly to save side-effects.

"My younger brother knows that the emperor sent the third elder brother out on business, so he came here to see him off." Yinzhen replied sternly.

"Oh, thanks to the fourth brother. The master has packed up and can leave soon." Yinzhi replied politely.

"Then the younger brother will send off the third brother respectfully." Yinzhen bowed to Yinzhi and left.

The little eunuch who was serving next to him was confused, "Master, what is fourth master doing here?" Yinzhi glared at him angrily: "When is it your turn to participate in the matter of master?"

The little eunuch fell silent as soon as he heard it and backed away, and came back after a while: "Master, the carriage is ready, will you leave Beijing today?"

"Well, I'm leaving right away." Yinzhi hurried into the carriage.

"Fourth brother!" As soon as Yinzhen returned home, Yinxiang greeted him, "How is it? Did you find anything from the third brother?" Yinzhen shook his head, "Go into the room and talk."

"Fourth brother, where is the third child..." Yinxiang asked anxiously as soon as he entered the room.

"Why are you in a hurry? Thirteen, tell the truth, how much private salt from Jiangnan have you mixed in?" Yinzhen asked with a cold face.

"Fourth brother, you believe me, I really didn't get involved. It's impossible to say that I have nothing to do with the private salt matter, but we are not big heads." Yinxiang explained anxiously.

"Then why are you in a hurry? From the look of the third child just now, it should not be for private salt." Yinzhen replied coldly.

"Fourth brother, we are not big heads, but we must be big heads!" Hearing Yin Zhen finished speaking, Yin Xiang was a little happy. "Fourth brother, you also know that when our brothers entered the court, the whole court was basically the boss and the prince's people. Before the boss was circled, most of his people voted for the old eight, and the old eight also took advantage of it. The opportunity has developed Jiangnan's power. Now that the boss is out, Lao Ba's power in the capital will inevitably be damaged. If we take the opportunity to break his power in Jiangnan, then there will be less trouble." Yin Xiang explained.

"Thirteen, your thinking is too simple." Yinzhen squinted his eyes and said, "With Lao Ba's shrewdness, how could he put all his eggs in one basket?"

"The fourth brother means that this time it will not have any influence on the eighth brother?" Yinxiang asked in disbelief.

"No, even if you can't break his tendons and bones, it will still hurt his tendons." Yinzhen squinted and looked into the distance. "Then, fourth brother, what should we do?" Yinxiang asked enthusiastically.

"Don't worry about Jiangnan's affairs. Master, what's going on with the Ministry of War recently?" Yinzhen changed the subject.

"Military Department? No, the boss is back, and many things have been handed over to him." Yinxiang said helplessly. After all, the boss has higher qualifications than him. Those who follow the wind and see the boss is back, all collapsed. past.

"Well, this is normal. You should pay attention, Junggar has not stopped, and it is estimated that something will happen again." Yinzhen reminded.

"Okay, I know, I will pay attention." Yinxiang nodded.

"My lord asked you to inquire about Fourteen before, do you have any news?" Yinzhen continued to ask, Yinxiang had a headache, not knowing why Yinzhen suddenly became interested in this younger brother whom he never wanted to see.

"Fourth brother, Fourteen has mixed up with the eighth group of people a long time ago. It is a fantasy to expect him to help us." Yinxiang is also very helpless, obviously the fourth brother and the fourteen are brothers, why? Fourteen always hangs out with Eighth and the others?

"This master knows, the master just told you to pay attention to Shisi's movements." Yinzhen responded, "Why? Fourth brother, why are you so concerned about Shishi?" Yinxiang still couldn't help asking.

"When the late emperor left, Fourteen should have been by his side!" Yinzhen said suddenly, "Well...it should be there, it was too chaotic at that time, so I didn't notice." Yinxiang thought for a while and replied.

"Okay, let's go back today!" Seeing that Yinxiang was still holding on to this question, Yinzhen directly opened his mouth to push him away.Yinxiang walked out of Yinzhen's mansion unhappily, but did not continue to ask.

'The fourth brother always has his reasons. 'The Thirteenth Master of the hardcore Fourth Master Party thought so.

"Here we come!" Yinfeng looked up at Yinti who came in, asked a question, then lowered his head and continued to do his own thing.

"Greetings to the emperor." Yinti knelt down and bowed to Yinrong, Yinti waved his hand, Yinti stood up and walked aside in a polite manner.

"Mingqian Longjing." Without raising his head, Yinfeng pointed to the tea bowl on the tea table beside him, Yinti was taken aback, and it was Mingqian Longjing again.

Before the Ming Dynasty, Longjing was Yinti's favorite tea, but few people knew that he liked it. Almost everyone thought that Prince Zhi, who was a martial artist, didn't like tea, let alone the light-tasting tea of ​​Longjing.

However, Yinti is not surprised at all that Yinfeng knew about it. It's not a secret.

But even so, Yinti didn't intend to drink this cup of tea, he has long been disgusted with Yinfeng's practice of giving a sweet date with a stick.

But people have to bow their heads under the eaves.Temporary submission does not mean permanent obedience. One day, he will escape this humiliating life, and one day he will return these doubled things to Yinfeng!

Yinfeng didn't notice Yinti's expressions, he pointed to the chair beside him to let him sit down, and then he didn't look up again, just busy reviewing the memorial.

Yinti's attitude towards Yinfeng is what he can't wish for. What he hopes most now is that Yinfeng treats him like nothing, and it's best not to think of him for the rest of his life.

In this way, one sat in front of the imperial case reviewing official documents, and the other sat in the lower chair in a daze.

As soon as Xiao Fangzi entered the door holding the newly delivered memorial, he was frightened by the solemn scene. He quickly put the memorial on Yinreng's desk at a speed several times faster than usual, and then quickly retreated at the same speed. .

Gently closing the door, Xiao Fangzi breathed a sigh of relief: "The atmosphere between the emperor and Prince Zhi is too weird, I really can't stand the poor life of my slave!" '

Time passed quietly, and when the sun set, the official documents on Yinfeng's desk had been transferred from one side to the other, and the tea in Yinti's hand had already cooled down.

"Kneel down!" Yinfeng stood up and said softly.Yinti got up, saluted in a dignified way, and left.

Seeing the back of Yinti leaving, Yinfeng sighed, turned around and went back to the bedroom.

When the little eunuch came in holding the green card, Yin Reng was lying on the bed bored alone. Seeing this, Xiao Fangzi quickly signaled the little eunuch holding the card to step aside and wait.

Yinreng got up, walked in front of the little eunuch, fiddled with the signs boredly, picked and picked for a long time, and finally threw them all back.Go back to bed and lie down.

Xiao Fangzi moved to Yinreng's bed worriedly: "Your Majesty, do you want to declare...into the palace?" Xiao Fangzi swallowed the word Xiaoguan.

Xiao Fangzi, who knew that his master had always had such a hobby, saw his master's unintentional, flirtatious, but unhappy look, and guessed whether the master had a need for this.

"No, back down!" Yinfeng waved his hand and replied weakly.

He's tired now, not physically, but more mentally.He was very tired, very tired, and wanted to find someone to talk to, but he didn't know what to say. He hoped to find someone to lean on, but he couldn't, and he couldn't find it.

The world is his, but no one is his.

This afternoon, he was really annoyed, it seemed that the feeling of depression at this time had reached its peak, and he needed to vent, so he found Yinti, but the moment he saw him, his depression suddenly disappeared.

He enjoyed the afternoon with Yinti very much, there was no intrigue, no conflict of interest, just the two of them, with a cup of tea, calm and clear.

However, Yinti didn't seem to like this feeling. From the speed at which Yinti left, Yinti could clearly feel that Yinti didn't seem to feel the same as him.

Such cognition made Yinfeng feel very frustrated.

Sitting up, Yinreng shook his head vigorously, secretly cursing himself as the emperor for a long time, but instead he had the heart of a bodhisattva.

"Come on, Prince Xuanzhi enters the palace!" Pulling himself together, Yinfeng shouted towards the outside.
