A camel caravan shaking his ragged figure slowly appeared outside the city of Beijing. The ancient road outside the city was old and frosty, and the desolate weeds trembled in the wind and sand from the north. The camel bells made a long lingering sound in the afterglow of the sunset. The camel's wide feet silently stepped on the yellow sand outside his mouth, walked staggering steps, and came to the city of Beijing amid the call of the camel driver.

The city walls of Beijing are still tall, but they are no longer as tall and gorgeous as before. The city walls have become dilapidated everywhere, and there is no longer the shadow of Kanggan's prosperity. There is no longer the tension at the Tongzhou incident at the city gate. During the time when the emperor fled to Chengde, Beijing was indeed closed, and it was like an atmosphere of facing a great enemy. But almost half a month passed, and Yang Yi's new army was not interested in attacking Beijing. The devil Liu Yixin, who stayed in Beijing, started to feel uneasy to calm down later, and finally to the present, secretly happy. Fortunately for his luck Yes. The city gate also went from being closed at the beginning to allowing a part of the camel caravan that transported daily necessities to enter. Beijing was too big and too many people wanted to eat. Since Yang Yi had no intention of rebelling, Yang Yi's current stance may mean waiting for the court. Yi Xin implicitly wrote a memorial and sent it to Xianfeng, who was far away in Chengde, waiting for Xianfeng's ruling. Since the fight was definitely not enough, I could not let it go, so it was better not to be careful. This is Yi Xin's current mentality. So now the city gate in Beijing has simply returned to the usual opening and closing appearance.

Chongwen Gate is a place that divides boundaries. The people living in the gate are all Manchus, and Han people cannot live in it. If you stand on a high place and look down, you will find that the roads in the gate are wide and neat, and the buildings are luxurious, which is in sharp contrast to the bumpy roads outside the gate and the low and dilapidated houses. The Chongwen Gate is also called the inner city.

Compared to the quiet and luxurious inner city, the outer city has its lively and prosperous life. Overpasses, Glazing Fields, and Eight Hutongs are all crowded and lively. The roadside rice stalls use wood to support a few steps to cover the scorching sun on sunny days and shelter from rainy days. When you are tired from walking on the porter's door, you will come here to rest, drink a bowl of cold well water, and buy some food to deal with it. On the overpass, those who are performing arts, singing music, and making land, ordinary people don't care about the changes of this dynasty at all. They care about three meals a day. Occasionally, the woman with small feet has a bitter face and sits on the wheelbarrow pushed by her husband, and she can't see the pleasure of returning from the market at all. The flowers on her head also shrank in the hot air. On her slightly hesitant brow, she only saw the mark of hard work and the premature crow's feet.

The sky gradually darkened, and the noisy overpass returned to calm, but the Bada Hutong began a day of liveliness. The girls in the kiln put on their brightest clothes and put on makeup, stood on the tower or outside, and were greeted by the madam, vigorously greeting the guests coming and going. Perhaps because of the threat of war, the Bada Hutongs had no longer the bustling scene of the past, and seemed a little deserted. Occasionally, a few guests appeared, and the girls immediately rushed up and pulled and retreated to the building where they were. A carriage followed by four horse-riding guards, passing through the streets of Bada Hutongs, quietly drove out of this place filled with fragrance of powder, and headed towards Chongwenmen.

At the gate of Chongwen, several soldiers were bored and wandering around the door. Two storm-like wind lamps were hung on both sides of the gatehouse. Under the occasional wind, under the slight swaying and dim light, the shadows of soldiers were pulled. As the sects of Chongwen Sect, they were originally a rich job, and officials who entered the capital had to get off duty. Most foreign officials came to this capital for officials, so they were inevitably going back and forth in the Chongwen Sect. For the sake of walking, they were very generous. Unfortunately, there was constant wars in the past year, and even the emperor ran to Chengde, which only made the remaining sects suffer. It was rare that the sects were a little bit of oil.

The sound of the horse hooves slowly approached the door. Several sleepy mendings were awakened. It was dark this day and there were still people coming. This was rare. Just looking at the group of people in the light, a young man got off the carriage, twenty-six or seven. Seeing his walking style, he was not as glamorous as the Eight Banners' children. His tall and straight body and handsome face showed a polite look. Based on his years of experience in observing people and checking colors, mendings judged at a glance that these people should be from outside.

Everyone came to the door, and several sects skillfully made a ignorant attitude. These were all signboard expressions that had been picked up for years. The young man who came smiled and walked up to them and said, "Brothers, thank you for your hard work!" Although these sects looked ignorant, they all had water in their eyes. However, with the young man's demeanor and style, when he looked at the four big men following behind him, he immediately knew that the person who came was not a good master. Although he looked polite now, he might not be a relative of a prince or minister, but he could not be offended easily, so as not to be able to pay money.

It would be unlucky if you didn't get it. It was easy to figure out this truth, not to mention these old fried dough sticks who have been living in Beijing for many years. Seeing that the visitor was polite, the originally unsightly face was much more enthusiastic. The leading sect quickly came up and said politely to the visitor: "Sir, look, it's dark, the lights are dark, and the servants are not clear at the moment. You are so rude, you are so polite, you are so polite." As he said that, he knelt on one knee first and bowed. Seeing that the leader was like this, the other sects followed suit and said, "I'm pleased me."

The young man was not polite, and he accepted the courtesy of these sects calmly, and his expression was so calm. It seemed that this courtesy was worthy. When the sects fell on the ground, he spoke politely: "It's okay, it's been a day of hard work, get up. Come and see the reward!" The young man spoke a skilled Beijing film. As soon as he finished speaking, a guard came out and stuffed a piece of silver to several sects. The sects knew that the money was not light.

The leading Mending said politely: "Master, look at you, you want to go over, and let the people in the drainage say, why bother to get off the bus yourself? Isn't this a killer girl?" The young man replied politely: "It's okay, I've been riding the car for a day and want to get down and have a walk. Don't blame yourself, I won't blame you." The leader of Mending said: "This master, you have a lot of people. Where are you going? Are you sending a slave to lead you?" The young man thought for a while and said: "Okay, that's good."

, please send someone to Prince Gong's Mansion." The leader of the sect fell into a cold sweat when he heard the young man say this, and said in his heart: "It's so damn, it turns out that he is from the Prince's Mansion. He just wants to do this. Maybe he is the Beile of the Prince's Mansion. Fortunately, everyone was smart just now and didn't leave any trouble. Not to mention anything else, just talking about these six princes, they are not like playing. Why are they talking about making money? I guess they will lose their job in just one word."

Seeing the young man leaving with his subordinates under the guidance of a sect, the sects recovered and squeezed the silver that the young man had just rewarded. They took it out and looked carefully and found that it was ten taels. They couldn't help but feel happy. Today they met the God of Wealth. With the bottom of the silver, the sects also came up with their spirits. They were planning how to use the silver to be happy after they were laid off later. The sects were preparing their own small calculations and were waiting for the brothers who were changing shifts to arrive in full spirit.

Outside the gate of Prince Gong's mansion, the servants were already cleaning up and closing the door. The arrival of a carriage made the soldiers who were holding the door feel bored, and they were almost closed. Who is coming to visit at this time? It is really good to pick the time. Although the soldiers were bored, the soldiers were not ordinary masters, and they still greeted them with polite expressions. It is said that the Prime Minister's slaves are seventh-rank officials, let alone Prince Gong's servants. They would not be polite in normal times. Now the prince is attracting suspicion from the emperor and clearly wants to kill people with a knife. The slaves don't dare to cause trouble at this time.

A young man got off the carriage and smiled politely at the soldiers coming, "Brother, thank you for your hard work." The soldiers and soldiers responded politely when they saw the people coming, "Master, what's the matter with you in the royal palace in this dark sky? Our prince said that the emperor is in Chengde now. If you have any official business, please go to the Military Office tomorrow morning." He was kind, but he also refused to come to recognize the visit. Of course, the young man understood the meaning of this, took out a reply from his arms, stretched out his hand to his subordinates, and quickly took out a piece of silver and put it in his hand. The young man smiled and said to the soldiers, "In this way, I have a reply, please submit it to your prince. If he doesn't see me, I will turn around and leave immediately, so as not to make things difficult for you." After that, even the silver and reply were stuffed into the soldiers' hands. The soldiers quickly

He took the silver in his arms, looked around and turned around, and said to the young man, "Master, I'll inform you now." As he said that, he was about to go in. The young man quickly called him and said, "Wait!" The soldier turned around and said, "Master, what else do you have to do?" The young man smiled and said, "Don't say that I didn't remind you, please give this reply to the prince in person, and no one is allowed to read the contents inside. Otherwise, your prince will..." The young man said, "Which moves to wipe his neck, with a strange smile on his face. The soldier looked cold all over and couldn't help but have a cold war. The hand in his hand tightened, and quickly turned around and went in. Seeing the soldier in, the young man calmly sat back on the carriage and waited quietly. Several guards also consciously stood at various angles, forming the most clamping formation to defend the young man.

Prince Gong Yixin has not lived a day of peace since Emperor Xianfeng left Beijing. The Qing emperor has used methods to seize the throne that originally belonged to Yixin, becoming the third emperor in the history of the Qing Dynasty to have doubts about inheritance. Since the day when Xianfeng ascended the throne, Yixin has been living carefully in this Beijing city. But the emperor has always taken a position that is not worried that others will care about him, not to mention that Yixin, who should have inherited the throne,

Therefore, Xianfeng has been making trouble with Yi Xin. Foreigners like to make trouble, so they always ask Yi Xin to deal with it, which also made Yi Xin get the title of "Ghost Six". Once more directly, he left Yi Xin in Beijing. To put it nicely, he was the governor of the country, but in fact he planned to take Yang Yi's hand besides Yi Xin. The current situation in Beijing was confusing. The emperor stayed in Chengde and did not come back, and Yang Yi from Tongzhou also remained silent and his attitude was in awesome. The future of this Beijing city was uncertain, and Yi Xin's mood could be imagined.

Sitting in the study, letting the maid beside him fan to help him with the heat of early autumn. Yi Xin leaned on the recliner, shaking back and forth, trying to think clearly about what Yang Yi in Tongzhou was planning. It has been a month since the court lost contact with Shengbao in Tongzhou, and the real situation in Tongzhou was unknown. Whether Yang Yi had rebelled or not, this question lingered in Prince Gong Yi Xin's mind for a long time.

The soldier who was holding the door came to the study and was about to call the door when he was pulled by a person next to him.

"Huang San, why are you here? Don't be on duty? Are you looking for a blow?" Huang Sanyi saw that he was the prince's most trusted Master Zhou. He quickly told him what happened. Of course, he didn't say what he had about the factor. After hearing this, Master Zhou's expression became serious and said to Huang San: "Go in with me and hand over the things to the prince myself."

Pushing open the study door, Master Zhou led Huang San in. Yi Xin, who was closing his eyes on the recliner, opened his eyes gently, but quickly closed his eyes, a trace of gloom appeared on his delicate face, and his brows tightened slightly. Later, Master Zhou walked to Yi Xin's side, supported the maid who was playing the fan, and spoke in a low voice to Yi Xin's ear. After Yi Xin heard this, he nodded expressionlessly. Master Zhou quickly waved to Huang San. Huang San immediately stepped forward to kneel down on one knee, raised his hands, and presented the bowing post. Yi Xin still closed his eyes and shook the bowing post slightly. Master Zhou took the bowing post, and then waved his hand to signal the maid and Huang San to go out, so that he would not give it to Yi Xin. Master Zhou stood up with a tactful attitude.

Going to the side, Yi Xin opened the bow and glanced at it, and suddenly he sat up from the recliner, and his hands holding the bow and trembled slightly. Master Zhou was shocked and shouted, "Prince, what's wrong with it?" Yi Xin looked ahead with a dull look, and silently handed the bow and Master Zhou. Master Zhou took it and saw the two words on it, and he couldn't help but burst into a cold sweat. The two words that surprised Yi Xin and Master Zhou were nothing else, but the two words "Yang Yi" signed on the bow and silently walked back and forth in the study. Master Zhou also came to the candle and looked at the bow and carefully, as if he wanted to find something from it?

"Master Zhou." Yi Xin stopped and shouted slowly: At this time, Master Zhou's eyes were taken back from the post. He looked at Yi Xin with a serious expression and responded: "Prince." Yi Xin didn't say anything, but just looked at Master Zhou calmly. Master Zhou's eyes did not avoid him, and he nodded at Yi Xin.

Outside Prince Gong's mansion, Yang Yi was still sitting quietly in the carriage and waiting patiently. The four guards stood beside Yang Yi like pillars. At this time, a rushing footsteps were heard in the palace. After a while, Master Zhou appeared at the door of the palace. Master Zhou quickly observed the surroundings, and then came to Yang Yi and fell: "Is it Mr. Yang? Our Prince is invited." Master Zhou led Yang Yi and the others into the palace and came to the study. Master Zhou knocked on the door gently, and a voice inside said: "Come in." Master Zhou then pushed the door and let Yang Yi go in. Yang Yi turned to the guards and said: "You are waiting outside." After that, he followed Master Zhou in.

Taking advantage of the light emitted by the candle, Yang Yi and Yi Xin were looking at each other. Their eyes confronted each other. Yi Xin felt that Yang Yi's eyes were piercing at him like a needle, and he couldn't help but dodge his eyes away. At this moment, Yang Yi quickly stepped forward, which scared Yi Xin, and even Master Zhou was shocked. Yang Yi came to Yi Xin, suddenly knelt on one knee, bowed to Yi Xin and said, "Yang Yi, please pay tribute to the prince." At this time, Yi Xin and Master Zhou were still in the shock just now. Yi Xin replied for a long time: "Mr. Yang is not a gift." Yang Yi came and Yi Xin said again: "Come on, come on, tea, Lord Yang, please sit down." Yang Yi said politely: "Thank you for your seat." After that, he sat down.

A woman dressed as a lady brought tea from outside. This should be a concubine who Yi Xin liked and trusted. After the woman arranged it, she bowed and bowed, and then walked out silently. When she went out, she gently brought the door with her.

Yi Xin then smiled at Yang Yi, but she smiled a little reluctantly. Yang Yi smiled and quietly waited for Yi Xin's problem.

Yi Xin calmed down, slowly picked up the tea cup, slowly blew the tea leaves floating on it, took a sip, then looked up and said to Yang Yi, "Mr. Yang, I'm visiting late at night, I don't know what advice?" Yang Yi smiled slightly and said, "I dare not talk about the word "advice in front of the prince, but I just felt that some words should be explained to the prince."

"Is that?" Yi Xin's face suddenly became cold and said, "Mr. Yang, since the war in Tianjin, the emperor has repeatedly issued imperial edicts to ask you to Beijing, but you have been dragging you down. After finally waiting for you to Tongzhou, you have even cleaned up the 100,000 troops of Lord Shengbao. Now you dare to break into the royal palace at night. Do you think Beijing is your backyard? Come when you want to come, and leave when you want to?" Faced with Yi Xin's stern words, Yang Yi listened quietly. After Yi Xin finished speaking, he suddenly laughed and looked at Yi Xin with strange eyes. Yi Xin was furious when Yang Yi saw it, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Yang Yi, why are you laughing?" Master Zhou on the side quickly stepped forward and said, "Prince..." Yi Xin knew what Master Zhou meant, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and slowly calmed himself down.

Yang Yi-Xin's expression returned to normal, and then said, "Prince, Yang Yi is here for nothing, just to ask the prince for a question, and ask the prince for a reply."
