Since Yinzhen was interested in Nian Gengyao's affairs, he would naturally do a little research on it.

It just happened that when the Metropolitan Procuratorate went to Huajie and Liuxiang to "arrest people", he went along with them because he had nothing to do. He also knew the officials who went to Goulan Yuan at that time.

The next day, Yinzhen went to the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and asked a few questions, pretending to be casual. He especially asked about the man named Nian Gengyao.

The people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate laughed and joked: "How did Si Beile know that arrogant young man? He is just a seventh-grade sage who talks all day long and makes himself more arrogant than the first-grade officials. If he follows the rules

It's just a matter of following the rules, just fighting for a little bit of verbal advantage, no one cares about him. But he prefers to go to that kind of place, looking for that kind of woman to have fun... He is not a good thing inside and outside, this kind of person is really annoying

Life is boring."

Even if Nian Gengyao's writings were good, he was only a seventh-rank junior in the Hanlin Academy and had just become an official.

Nowadays, the fifth-rank officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate naturally laugh at him without any scruples.

The people from the Procuratorate then asked Fourth Brother: "Why did Fourth Master think of asking this person today? If a small official like this makes a mistake, he will be fined some money, and then he will be taught a lesson, so I don't need to bother you."

They thought that the fourth elder brother was intervening in this matter because the fourth elder brother followed him to arrest people yesterday.

Yinzhen made a casual excuse: "My sister's father-in-law and several uncles from her husband's family are all from the Hanlin Academy. I saw officials from the Hanlin Academy yesterday, so I paid more attention to them."

What he was talking about at this time was Zhang Ying, Zhang Tingzhan, Zhang Tingyu and the others.

The people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate suddenly realized: "I see, that's how it is." No wonder the fourth elder brother was interested in this, because it turned out that there was another one like the Seventh Prince Consort.

Once everyone said it was open, there wasn't much to cover up.

The people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate told Fourth Brother all the unsightly circumstances in which Nian Gengyao and the kiln girl were hooking up with each other when he was "arrested".

At first, Yinzhen's brows furrowed more and more as he listened. Later, his brows slowly relaxed.

For someone like Nian Gengyao, even Sifujin must not like him.

Maybe she just thought that person was very talented and looked at talented people with a different eye?!

Yinzhen was thinking about this matter anxiously, but he didn't want to show it in a dignified way. He just gave these people a few words and gave up.

He felt that Gengyao had such a bad character this year and hiding in the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was really a disgrace to his talents.

It just so happens that today I am going to talk to Emperor Kangxi about matters related to flood control in the south of the Yangtze River.

Yinzhen took the opportunity to go to Qianqing Palace to discuss matters, called "Huang Ama", and spoke a long speech eloquently, quoting scriptures for a stick of incense, in order to talk about a very important central idea.

.

——The Hanlin Academy is a fertile ground for the young scholars of ancient and modern Qing Dynasties to grow up. It should be a quiet place. People with bad character are absolutely not allowed to mix in and pollute this pure land.

It was naturally impossible for Emperor Kangxi to know about such trivial matters as the Metropolitan Procuratorate's inspection of Hua Street and Liuxiang.

However, he felt a little bit of the flavor from his son's impassioned speech, and hesitantly asked: "Is there a black sheep in the Imperial Academy now?"

"That's right." Yinzhen stood up and bowed: "Yesterday, my minister followed everyone from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate and deal with misbehaving officials. It happened that a student who had just been appointed as a shujishi appeared in that place, so I had this realization."

Emperor Kangxi knew that Yinzhen usually did not pay attention to the Hanlin Academy. But when he thought about the indirect relationship between Zhang Ying and his son, he could understand why Yinzhen was so excited.

"Tell me, who is the Hanlin Academy concubine who was found over there?" Emperor Kangxi said.

Yinzhen reported Nian Gengyao's name to the emperor.

Emperor Kangxi was very impressed by this young man.

When the Shujishi was appointed some time ago, this young man performed well, and his ambitions were evident in his speech. He also wrote beautiful articles, which pleased Emperor Kangxi very much.

Now it seems that he has been arrested by the Metropolitan Procuratorate for his lack of moral character——

Emperor Kangxi called Liang Jiugong: "Please send someone to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to call..." He looked at Si Age.

Yinzhen bowed and said, "Nian Gengyao."

Emperor Kangxi nodded: "Let them call me that year Gengyao, and I will ask him personally why he acted so wildly and recklessly."

Liang Jiugong took the order and left.

Yinzhen happened to have nothing much to do at the moment, so he went to Yonghe Palace to visit Concubine De, and then to Ningshou Palace to visit the Queen Mother. When he came back after completing his circle, Qianqing Palace's lectures had come to fruition.

Liang Jiugong looked inside the room and lowered his voice: "Come out soon. The man inside just kowtowed to the emperor and confessed his crime."

Yinzhen heard that there seemed to be several voices inside, and couldn't help but ask: "Are Huang Ama and Nian Gengyao here?"

"It's not just that. The emperor called several adults from the Hanlin Academy to come over, as well as Bachelor Zhang." Liang Jiugong said: "Otherwise, why would Gengyao be crying so bitterly that year?"

It is better to be reprimanded just in front of the emperor than in front of several immediate superiors whom you meet every day. The latter is even more embarrassing.

Yinzhen took it seriously and pointed in the direction outside the yard.

Liang Jiugong understood: "After Gengyao came out that year, my servant asked him to find the fourth master."

Yinzhen nodded with satisfaction and walked out of the yard, heading towards the waiting position pointed at.

It was about time for another cup of tea, and that year Gengyao was belatedly arriving.

This time, Nian Gengyao was not as high-spirited as when he was promoted to a concubine to express his gratitude to the emperor. Now, he is not only dusty, but his clothes are wrinkled and stained with mud. He has completely lost the appearance of a romantic and talented man.

Yinzhen looked at his desolate state and thought that he had ended up in this situation after hanging out with the kiln sister. He couldn't sympathize with him at all and asked coldly: "How?"

Nian Gengyao heard from the old eunuch at the door that Sibeile was waiting for him here.

He lifted up his clothes and knelt down: "Students have seen Four Belles. Four Belles are auspicious." He kowtowed respectfully, and then honestly explained everything that happened in the room just now.

When Nian Gengyao arrived, several adults were already waiting there.

As soon as he entered the room, the emperor scolded him and knelt down, and then detailed all his crimes. He couldn't raise his head. He didn't dare to look at the emperor's holy face, nor did he dare to look at the ugly faces of his family members.

However, admonishment is admonishment.

After Emperor Kangxi scolded Nian Gengyao, he did not send him back to the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to continue his stay, but asked him to "go down" directly.

Now you can go home.

Nian Gengyao was reprimanded by the emperor in public. He felt that he could not hold his head up and his heart was so uncomfortable. But in the blink of an eye, he could go home directly without having to suffer in prison, and he felt that the trip was worth it.

Nian Gengyao sincerely saluted and kowtowed to Fourth Elder Brother: "Fortunately, Fourth Elder Brother helped me, otherwise the student would have to stay in prison for a few more days."

He thought that the fourth elder brother wanted to help him and let him come out early, so he was allowed to suffer this punishment from the emperor.

Yinzhen didn't expect such a sudden turn of events.

But after thinking about it, he realized something.

The emperor most likely sold face to the Zhang family, and also sold face to him, the fourth elder brother, so after reprimanding Nian Gengyao, he did not let him go back to the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Although Yinzhen didn't like having a car relationship with Nian Gengyao, he still had to accept the kindness given to him by Huang Ama.

Yinzhen nodded slightly to Nian Gengyao: "It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

This is tantamount to indirectly admitting that it was his "good intentions" that saved Nian Gengyao from jail.

Nian Gengyao was even more grateful to him.

I thought I was young, energetic and very frivolous, so I just did this kind of thing. Before I was not punished, I just thought I was lucky, but now it seems that good luck is not always there.

For example, this time, the boat capsized and fell over.

Nian Gengyao already regretted his mistakes when he was in prison. Now he is even more determined to restrain himself from the secret channel in the future, and he can no longer act like a wolf.

At the signal of Fourth Elder Brother, Nian Gengyao stood up slowly, and did not forget to bow deeply to Fourth Elder Brother: "Students will follow Si Beile's teachings and must sincerely change their ways."

After that, he asked casually: "In the next few days, the student will set up a small table at home and sincerely invite Si Baylor to come over and talk. I wonder if Baylor can give me a favor?"

Nian Gengyao really asked casually.

Because he thought that Sibeile would definitely not pass, he said this with the thought that he would be rejected.

Although Yinzhen didn't like Nian Gengyao's style very much, because Sifujin was very interested in this person, he agreed to the other party's invitation: "Since you sincerely invited me, it's better to obey your orders than to be respectful. I

I’m just going to visit your house once.”

It was impossible for him to invite Nian Gengyao to his home.

As smart as he is, he would never do such a thing as luring a wolf into the house.

So if he wanted to meet in private, he would rather stay at last year's house.

Nian Gengyao didn't expect that Si Beile, who had always been cold-hearted and aloof, would be so easy to invite, and he was overjoyed for a moment: "Then the student is waiting for Beile at home. What does Lord Beile usually like to eat? Students go to the restaurant to buy it.

Some."

His father was appointed governor of Huguang in 1988, and his whole family went to take office, leaving only a pair of children in Beijing.

Now the only masters of the Nian Mansion are Nian Gengyao and his sister, and Nian Gengyao alone has the final say in family affairs.

This is one of the reasons why Nian Gengyao is so wild now: without the restraint of his parents, he makes his own decisions, which makes him a little arrogant.

Nian Gengyao thought that the level of the cooks in the Nian family was very average and they had no special skills. When entertaining distinguished guests, it would be better to go to a restaurant and buy some good wine and food.

However, as a prince, Yinzhen could eat royal meals every day from childhood to adulthood, so why did he need to eat restaurant food?

He said: "Just make some at home. I also appreciate your talent, so I went to your place to discuss poetry. There's nothing else to do."

Nian Gengyao said happily: "The student union will try its best to purchase it. Si Baylor must come."

After watching Si Baile go away, he happily waved his sleeves and walked outside.

Today, several officials from the Hanlin Academy are still in the Qianqing Palace.
