Two lives and two fates [forty-eight rebirth]

Chapter 41

Half a month after the incident, someone gave a secret recital.The impeachment of Nine Elder Brothers for illegally storing grain is in a warehouse in a small village around the capital.Reminiscent of the strange things in the canal, smart people connect the two things together.It turned out that what was dizzy in the ship was not grain but stones. As soon as this remark came out, the court was in an uproar.Kangxi had low pressure in the early morning for several consecutive days, and everyone was cautious.

Layers of clouds and mist were stripped away, and finally the truth was about to surface. With Shi Dailiang's statement, Kangxi immediately ordered people to go to the said village to check whether it was true, and finally found the valley of Xinxiang there. rice.The warehouse is still filled with the smell of fresh rice, full of harvest.When the guards left behind saw Guan Yan rushing in aggressively, they were frightened and ran away without any effort.The message was confirmed, but Yinzhen, who was still in the palace, didn't know all this.

Yinhu Yinzhen was surprised, he knew everything about the matter, except that he used stone instead of grain.Was someone framed?Soon Yinhu overturned this idea. He still knows a little bit about Yinhu's work. Maximizing the benefits is what he wants most, and he never cares about what he owes her.He only cares about that feeling, like a king who dominates the crowd. Unlike himself, his battlefield is the shopping mall, not the officialdom.It is very likely that Yinzhen planned this incident, but he devoured this batch of goods without anyone noticing what he intended, and it was absolutely beyond his expectation to be found out.I don't know what Lao Jiu would think if he knew?Dereliction of duty cannot be compared with deception.

He still needs to do this matter, and at this time the hidden role behind a group of them will be revealed.Yinhu relocated the fleet, pretending that he had just returned from transporting grain from Jiangnan, and secondly, he ordered one of his merchants in charge of grain to pretend to be Yinhu's business partner. After all, Yinhu is not the only big businessman in the world. In every industry, there are some people who are inextricably linked with the imperial court, and no matter how the world changes, their unique status will not be replaced.The routine said that in order to make up for this mistake, Yinzhen specially bought food from him and smiled furiously.The third is to go to the palace and tell him that everything has been properly arranged, that Huang Ama can answer the questions correctly, and clarify the rumor of using stones instead of grain, but there are other secrets.

After all, Yinhu's remedies worked, and Kangxi believed Yinhu's rhetoric.When Kangxi asked him, Yinzhen pretended not to know anything. Knowing that Kangxi mentioned the warehouse, Yinzhen told all the things in panic, and the performance was real, with expressions, words, and actions, everything was in place.Kangxi was confused by the play he had rehearsed for a long time.Kangxi did not pursue his crime of deceiving the emperor, but he still undertook him, deprived him of his rights as an imperial merchant, and prohibited him from being involved in business matters.Yinzhen pretended to be grateful to Dade and capitalized Long En.Why did Kangxi prohibit Yinzhen from continuing to do business?The big reason is that Yinzhen's financial resources make him unhappy. Just imagine that Yinzhen has the ability to buy back the food collected by the imperial court. What else can he not buy with money?

Kangxi has the desire to control all the superiors, and it should be him who is the emperor who makes up for it and saves the overall situation, not someone else.It was precisely because Yinhu was clear about this that he left such a flaw. With his scheming ability, he could have done it perfectly, but he didn't, because he wanted to give Kangxi a reason to take the opportunity to deprive Yinyu of the imperial business. reason.

After Mingzhu was dismissed, Brother Jiu was punished again.The opposite prince is much loved, and in sharp contrast, Kangxi's thoughts are clear at a glance.Some people who stood on the tiptoe finally made up their minds about whom to pledge allegiance to.An undercurrent surged around Yinfeng, gradually turning into a strong whirlpool, and those who wanted to change their minds temporarily fell down without the sound of water.

Mingzhu was unwilling, but she was always helpless.I can only tease the birds every day, study and study, and kill time.Although the life of being dismissed from office is quite prosperous, but such a life cannot be satisfied for a person who has enjoyed a lot of enjoyment and is supported by all officials.After all, he was powerless, and the big brother's giving up consumed his remaining motivation.

Recently, a person in the city square of the capital was passed on as miraculously, saying that he could infer a person's future fortune from his appearance.Even though Mingzhu didn't leave her home, she heard the people below, and she sneered at it.This kind of charlatan has been seen a lot, and this kind of trick is the same. It doesn't mean that you can make a good guess by inquiring about your situation and judging your expression and clothing.Or find a partner, sing and coax all the onlookers away, and the world's ignorance will lose its originality as soon as it spreads the ignorance.

At this time, he didn't know that the rumored person would destroy everything he had.

Mingzhu has a habit of going to worship Buddha every other month.I'm afraid the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't believe that a person like Xiang Mingzhu would worship Buddha devoutly.Mingzhu also forgot when she started to develop this habit. She only remembers that she went back to worship Buddha at first because she wanted to please the emperor. Later, she changed her original intention and prayed to Buddha in the majestic and majestic Buddhist hall, and shed her sins. Tell God.When I got up again, my body and mind were relaxed, and all my sins were forgiven by the Buddha.Gradually, I will go to Buddhist temples every once in a while.In Mingzhu's mind, I am afraid that this is the only thing the Han people can learn from.

This has to make us marvel at the connection between people and people. Kangxi went to Wutai Mountain to worship Buddha, and he worshiped Buddha in the open to tell the Buddha his unknown dark side and negative side.Are they really devout Buddhists?No, they just tacitly choose a way to "decompress" themselves and cleanse their souls.

Pearl did not go to Xiangguo Temple, which was the most popular, but a temple on Xiangming Mountain.It is also well-known in Beijing. It is located on the mountainside, surrounded by green screens, and streams leave from the foot of the mountain. The scenery is beautiful.I did not go back home that day, but fasted vegetarian food in the temple.Then I met a man while visiting the mountain scenery.

The world is full of fragrance in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom.Dadi said that at this time, the peach blossoms in Xiangming Mountain and the capital have long since declined, but a few peach blossoms in the unremarkable place behind Xiangming Mountain are in full bloom.The pink is really beautiful, and it complements the surrounding green.A touch of inconsistent green between the bushes made Mingzhu take a closer look. The green was not leaves, but the fabric of human clothes.

It was a thin man who was painting with a brush in his hand and his back was straight.The peach blossoms on the white rice paper are thin and elegant, and the peach blossoms in front of Immortal's eyes are plump and delicate, and Mingzhu is puzzled.I have heard of the pursuit of charm rather than appearance in painting, but I have never seen this kind of painting that neither pursues appearance nor imitation.Maybe some kind of processing to polish it later?Mingzhu didn't make a sound and concentrated on watching him paint, but seeing that the painting was about to be finished and ready to start writing, Mingzhu couldn't help but asked, "Brother, can I ask you something?"

The man had known for a long time that there was someone standing behind him, so he didn't care if he didn't make a sound.Hearing Mingzhu's inquiry, she turned around and said with a smile on her face, "Brother Tai seemed to have doubts just now, I don't know why? Is there something wrong with what I said?" Only then did Mingzhu see the face of this person clearly. The appearance is ordinary, but there is an easy-going temperament about him.Mingzhu wondered if this person was pretending not to know?But he still smiled and said his question directly, "Why is Xiongtai's painting different from the world? Do you have any explanation?"

Hearing Mingzhu's question, the man showed a clear expression.He explained with a smile, "Brother doesn't know something. This is my fault. I can't see his original state after watching everything. I always put my own thoughts on things themselves." Seeing Mingzhu still half-understand, Let's talk about things in detail.It turned out that when he was learning to paint when he was a child, he met a maverick gentleman who taught him to paint things dead and alive.To give the image you think in your heart to what you see in front of you, if you want flowers to be green, paint green.At the beginning, I followed my husband's teaching because it was fun, but after a long time, I couldn't change it.

Mingzhu asked, "Then what is the peach blossom in your heart? Thin?" The man smiled, a little inscrutable, "Why don't you stick to these? What kind of shape do you think the peach blossom will end up in? Peach blossoms are delicate and pear blossoms are simple and elegant, but they are only viewed by ordinary people, and they are viewed differently depending on the mood. Instead of using its inherent form to fix it on paper, why not give it a different kind of temperament and record it in your heart? At the end, he added, "Sometimes when you look at things in a different way, you will see things that have been overlooked."

Mingzhu can't see through this man, he can understand what he said, but he is skeptical about the stories he tells, can there be such a person and such a thing?He felt that this was a perfunctory rhetoric he used, and maybe there was something hard to hide in it.A gentleman does not force others to make things difficult, but Mingzhu does not go deep into it.This incident became an introduction, and the two got acquainted. During the conversation, they both admired each other's knowledge and shared similar interests.Mingzhu was surprised that this man turned out to be Zhang Mingde, who was widely rumored in the capital to meet people. Such a temperamental person would be a kind of quack warlock, while Zhang Mingde admired what he had heard a long time ago.

During Mingzhu's relationship with Zhang Mingde, he forgot how he sneered at him back then. Zhang Mingde had no sympathy or regret for what happened to Mingzhu, and only said that the world is impermanent and destiny is predetermined.Mingzhu didn't feel dissatisfied, because what Zhang Mingde said made him unable to refute.In his eyes, a man is that kind of person, who neither delights in things nor grieves himself, as if everything is nothingness in his eyes and there is no need to worry about it.

Zhang Mingde is proficient in gossip and divination, and is good at observing details.Many people will reveal information in the process of divination, and use this information as an entry point to continue to elicit the information they want.If there is a difficult situation, I will offer advice to help him solve it from the perspective of a bystander. If there is a happy event, just say a few auspicious words to share, and make him happy.Life is like a play, and it is inevitable that some people get into the play too deeply, and if I mention it by myself, it is just bluffing and deceiving.

Mingzhu has never heard such an explanation of fortune-telling and divination. It is very novel but has unique insights. It dispels his only dissatisfaction with Zhang Mingde, and officially enters the world of Mingzhu's idleness. The two play chess and drink tea, talking about everything.

During a conversation, Mingzhu brought up the past, and she couldn't help but sigh and think about how she was so full of ambition and high spirits at the beginning, but now she has ended up in such a situation. allow.This was originally a heart-to-heart talk between friends, and it is understandable to express the frustration in your heart, but this sentence was passed on to the emperor by some villains.

Wherever the word spread, it had changed beyond recognition.Mingzhu is treacherous, colluding with the elder brother Yinyi, who will be rich in the future, and has evil intentions.Kangxi was very sensitive to this aspect, and immediately sent someone to track down Zhang Mingde. The villain made trouble, and received the prince's order to report that Mingzhu intended to murder the crown prince and tried to force his elder brother Yinyi.Kangxi was furious. At this time, the third prince Yinzhi reported to Kangxi that the elder brother had contacts with the Mongolian lama Khanba Longge. After investigation, Yinzhi used witchcraft to suppress the demon prince, and Yu Mingzhu formed a clique against the prince.

Suppressing the demon crown prince is a heinous crime. Kangxi ordered people to search the eldest prince's mansion, and found a villain under the bed of the eldest prince's wife and concubine bedroom. As soon as this thing came out, Kangxi directly ordered the elder brother to be imprisoned and put into the clan mansion, which directly stated that he asked the clan mansion to thoroughly investigate this matter.What's so bad, Kangxi's attitude is sure, it's just a formality to press Yinyi into the clan's mansion, people are detained and there are no people running around, even if Yinyi wants to justify, he can't.
