Fujin was startled when he heard this, and looked at Geng Yi, and the two looked at each other in amazement.
After all, the [-]th elder brother just left the Compassionate Peace Palace on the front foot, so why did he fight with the thirteenth elder brother on the back foot?
The Empress Dowager was also surprised, and asked in Mongolian to Mammy Li beside her, "What's the matter, didn't Xiao Shishi just come back from here, what happened?"
Mammy Li asked again, and the mammy shook her head and said, "Brother Fourteen went to find Elder Thirteen, and the two of them started fighting without saying a few words."
The empress dowager had a headache, so Mammy Li asked, "Which one of them did it first?"
The mother faltered: "The slaves don't know, they just saw it outside and rushed to report it. The eunuchs serving in the thirteen elder brothers' palace all went to fight. Even if the elder brothers are of high status, they didn't dare to push too hard."
Geng Yi blinked, feeling that something was wrong with her being so careless.Something happened in the thirteenth elder brother's palace. If you don't go to Li Dequan or directly to the emperor, why did you come to the empress dowager?
Knowing that the Empress Dowager has high blood pressure, she is about to be irritated, and if her blood pressure soars when she is angry, wouldn't there be an accident?
She quickly stared at the empress dowager, for fear that something might go wrong if she was really angry.
Fortunately, the empress dowager only frowned a little unhappy, got up and said in Mongolian: "Then I'll go over there to see what's going on."
Mammy Li hurriedly supported the Empress Dowager, and asked cautiously: "My brothers are not very old, it's just impulsive. Empress Dowager, be careful with your steps, don't be angry with yourself."
The empress dowager waved her hand, motioned Geng Yi to support her on the other side, and said, "Don't worry, I don't know what their children can do, but it's just a little thing to do."
As soon as she moved, the emperor naturally received the news, and rushed over soon.
The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother have been separated by the eunuchs. The thirteenth elder brother has bruises on his face, and his clothes are messy. It was just a little messy on his body, and it was the fourteenth elder brother who moved first. The thirteenth elder brother obviously didn't fight back much, and his face began to swell.
The empress dowager just arrived, and the emperor also arrived, with a displeased face, first greeted the empress dowager and said: "Why did you startle the empress dowager, what's the matter with you two boys, why don't you come and kneel down?"
The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother knelt down in a hurry, and the thirteenth elder brother lowered his head and hissed, obviously the wound was pulled.
The emperor ordered Li Dequan angrily: "Where is the imperial physician, when will he arrive?"
Even if he was angry, he still cared about the two little ones, not to make any mistakes.
"Which one of you can tell me, what's going on? There was a fight during the New Year's Eve?"
The fourteenth elder brother refused to speak with a straight face, and the thirteenth elder brother seemed unable to speak while covering half of his face.
Fortunately, two imperial physicians came in a hurry and showed the injuries to the two elder brothers respectively.
They clasped their hands and reported: "Your Majesty, Brother Thirteen's wounds are all on his face, and Brother Fourteen has bruises on his stomach."
Geng Yi raised his eyebrows, thinking that Brother Thirteen didn't fight back just now, so he hit somewhere he couldn't see, he was shrewd enough!
Elder Fourteen is much more honest. Everyone says that hitting people is not slapping in the face, but he insisted on hitting Elder Thirteen in the face so that people can't come out to see people for several days, which is cruel enough.
In this way, comparing the two, everyone will feel pity for the thirteenth elder brother. After all, he may have been beaten so badly that he resisted out of embarrassment. .
Sure enough, the emperor frowned and said, "Tell me, fourteenth, what kind of grudge is it that made you hit brother? If you don't explain clearly to me, you'll just keep kneeling today!"
The fourteenth elder brother pursed his lips and said firmly: "Huang Ama, my son was impulsive and lost his strength."
The emperor was about to laugh angrily: "You haven't restrained your strength yet, do you have the face to say that you are impulsive and hit people in the face? Someday you will be unhappy, will you come to hit me in the face on impulse?"
Brother Fourteen hurriedly said: "I don't dare, I won't dare next time."
The emperor became even angrier: "Is there a next time? Is your monkey about to turn upside down?"
On the side of the fourteenth elder brother, I couldn’t ask anything. After the thirteenth elder brother asked the imperial doctor to prescribe the medicine, he was able to speak without the pain in his cheeks, but he was also confused: "Huang Ama, after the fourteenth brother came here When he saw me, he suddenly raised his fist and hit me, but my son didn't understand."
He was also stunned by the beating, and didn't know how to fight back for a while, but later he saw Elder Fourteen raised his fist and hit him like crazy, and he was in pain, so he couldn't help but hit back.
But the thirteenth elder brother also knows how to measure, his strength is not too big, he really restrained his strength, and just wanted to fight back the fourteenth elder brother, so there is only a little bruise on the fourteenth elder brother's stomach, which is worse than the redness and swelling of his cheeks much better.
The emperor could tell at a glance that the fourteenth elder brother had really put in a lot of effort. Seeing that his mouth was tightly shut and he was about to get angry, he was still persuaded by the empress dowager: "It's a big Chinese New Year, the emperor Take care of your body, and don’t be angry with yourself. The children are so impulsive when they are young. Just ask them slowly. Let them get up first, the ground is cold here, so don’t freeze in winter.”
Hearing this, the emperor could only let the two of them get up, but he didn't intend to let it go lightly: "This matter can't be ignored. When will Fourteen explain clearly when to come out again? Go back to your palace and stay there. If you don't reflect on yourself, don't let it go." Figured it out!"
This is to ground the fourteenth elder brother. After hearing this, the fourteenth elder brother had to honestly go back and think about it behind closed doors.
The thirteenth elder brother suffered an innocent disaster, his face was injured, and he was beaten by the fourteenth elder brother. He was very innocent, so the emperor put it down lightly: "You can take good care of your wounds in your own palace, and you will be free from homework. When will my cheeks get better and when will I go to school again?"
Brother Thirteen honestly agreed, looking so pitiful, the empress dowager persuaded the emperor to go back, and stayed to ask: "Little Shisan has always been smart, just now I saw you hesitated to speak, is it true?" Is there anything wrong with telling the emperor?"
The empress dowager dismissed the palace people, leaving only Mammy Li and Sifujin, Geng Yi and others who came with her. Brother Thirteen called "Sister-in-law Si" and "Sister-in-law" before whispering: "Grandson is Guess, but I’m not sure, so I dare not tell Huang Ama.”
The thirteenth brother pointed to the jar inside and said, "This is what the fourth brother sent someone to deliver, because I don't like to apply balm in winter. It is too fragrant and sticky, and my cheeks are cracked by the cold. Look at it, the fourth brother. Feeling distressed, I sent someone to send it after it was finished. I just saw Shisi holding a box in his arms, and when I came in and saw mine, I smashed the brocade box."
He pointed to the corner, and it really was the brocade box that Fujin and Geng Yi gave to Brother Fourteen just now. The box was smashed to pieces on the ground and the jar was also cracked, revealing the jade ointment inside.
The empress dowager understood at a glance that the fourteenth elder brother came here excitedly with Yurong ointment to show off to the thirteenth elder brother, but who knew that the thirteenth elder brother used it earlier than herself, which meant that the fourth elder brother used it earlier I sent the thirteenth elder brother here first, so I was angry and smashed the brocade box, and rushed up to beat people.
Geng Yi didn't expect that he gave Yurong ointment for a while, and let the two little elder brothers fight, it's really a sin.
She was full of helplessness, and Si Fujin explained to the thirteenth elder brother: "Actually, it was because the Yurong ointment made for the empress dowager was repeated several times before it succeeded, and it was a few days late. It was also my suggestion to the fourth elder brother. I will deliver it all."
It just so happened that she was going to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager, so she simply gave away the savings of Concubine De and Fourteenth Elder Brother, who would have thought that this little time difference would make Fourteenth Elder Brother dissatisfied?
The fourteenth elder brother probably thought that the fourth elder brother missed the thirteenth elder brother more than his own younger brother, so he gave the thirteenth elder brother first and then gave it to him, so he got angry.
The empress dowager couldn't help sighing: "What's the matter!"
The fourth elder brother was kind enough to send Yurong ointment to the younger brothers, who knew that it was only a day or two before these two little ones started fighting?
It made the fourth elder brother look like a human inside and out, which was embarrassing.
When Concubine De later found out and asked, she would definitely feel that the fourth elder brother was partial to the thirteenth elder brother, and instead of giving it to her own younger brother the fourteenth elder brother first, she would give it to the thirteenth elder brother first.
If it wasn't for the wrong time for him to send it, how could the two young ones fight?
Not to mention the Empress Dowager, Si Fujin and Geng Yi could all imagine it, and they suddenly had a headache.
Si Fujin knew the concubine De concubine quite well, and knew that when she turned around and saw the bruises on the fourteenth elder brother's stomach, she would definitely blame the fourth elder brother, so he pleaded: "I hope the empress dowager can help me to talk to the empress de concubine." ,otherwise……"
However, Geng Yi felt that the empress dowager said that Concubine De had promised well on the surface, but turned around and became more distant from the relationship between the fourth princes, which completely added fuel to the flames.
The fourth elder brother came faster than they expected. He was in a hurry, and his clothes were a little messy. After tidying up, he came to the thirteenth elder brother first, and after paying his respects to the empress dowager, he gently stroked the thirteenth elder brother's cheek Reluctantly said: "It's all my fault, let the thirteenth brother's face not recover for several days."
The thirteenth elder brother comforted him in turn, saying, "You did not do what the fourth brother said. Besides, the fourth sister-in-law has already explained the reason. If the fourteenth brother loses his temper after knowing it, it is still his fault. What does it have to do with the fourth brother?"
The empress dowager comforted the fourth elder brother and said: "I already know what has happened, I will find an opportunity to talk to Concubine De later, and the matter will be over."
The fourth elder brother didn't think that the matter could pass like this, so he bowed his head and thanked him.
The empress dowager sighed, knowing that the relationship between the two mothers and their sons was not too harmonious because they were separated at the beginning, and the fourth elder brother was also quite embarrassed.
Seeing that Elder Brother Thirteen was fine, she helped Nanny Li's hand and went back.
The thirteenth elder brother grabbed the fourth elder brother's hand and whispered: "Fourth elder brother, you accompany me to see Huang Ama and explain everything clearly."
Only the empress dowager was there just now, the emperor didn't know the reason for this, and he might have thought that it was the fourth elder brother who favored the one and favored the other, which caused the two younger brothers to fight.
Both Fujin and Geng Yi agreed: "Yes, it's better for the master to explain clearly."
The fourth elder brother was in a dilemma. If he was asked to explain clearly in front of the emperor, would Concubine De think too much?
If Geng Yi knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say that Concubine De would think too much no matter what, it would be better to clear up the misunderstanding on the emperor's side first.
After all, the fourth elder brother was really kind, but in the end he ended up in a show.
The fourth elder brother was urged by the thirteenth elder brother to meet the emperor, and Fujin brought Geng Yi home first.
Geng Yi was very sad in the carriage, with regards to the stuffy temperament of the fourth elder brother, can he really explain it clearly in front of the emperor?
Fujin understood, seeing her frown, he persuaded: "Don't worry, there is Elder Brother Thirteen here, everything will be fine."
Geng Yi didn't understand, why is it that the thirteenth elder brother is here, so everything seems to be safe?
She thought about it, maybe the fourth elder brother would not be able to say anything in front of the emperor, or his words would be so harsh that he would not like the emperor.
But Elder Brother Thirteen is different. He was well-behaved and intelligent since he was a child, and he was favored by the emperor.
Whenever the emperor went out, he would always bring the thirteenth elder brother with him, without exception, which showed his love for the thirteenth elder brother.
Geng Yi rested his chin in one hand, thinking that the thirteenth elder brother was impatient and took the fourth elder brother to explain to the emperor first. In fact, was he afraid that Concubine De would cry and complain, and they would become passive?
Elder Brother Thirteen really thinks this way. He has stayed with the Emperor for a long time, and he takes himself with him every time he goes out. He understands the Emperor's temperament better than anyone else.
It is better to explain some things clearly first, and it is easy to cause misunderstanding if you delay.
In particular, some words said by the person concerned are clear and clear, but it becomes another matter to follow others or come out of other people's mouths.
He naturally understood that the fourth elder brother was kind to the thirteenth elder brother.
Especially after the death of his biological mother Concubine Min, the thirteenth elder brother can understand the warmth and coldness of human relationships better, and only the fourth elder brother treats him as always.
If there is anything delicious, fun and useful, I will send it to him as soon as possible.
Now that the accident happened because of him, how could the fourth elder brother be blamed if he didn't know about it?
The two walked quickly to the door of the imperial study room. The thirteenth elder brother asked Li Dequan cautiously: "Li Banban, is Huang Ama busy inside?"
Li Dequan saluted the two before saying: "Yes, the emperor is reviewing the memorial."
In fact, the emperor was angry, he was reading the memorial, he was walking up and down in the imperial study, and he didn't know what to do with the two small ones.
As soon as he heard the sound outside, the emperor said angrily: "Everyone who is muttering outside, come in and talk!"
After the thirteenth elder brother grabbed the fourth elder brother and went in to salute, he looked over eagerly and said: "My son is wrong, please don't be angry with Huang Ama, it would be good if you get angry."
When the emperor heard the pitiful look of the thirteenth elder brother, he said helplessly: "Okay, everyone get up and talk. Tell me, where did you go wrong?"
The thirteenth elder brother glanced at the fourth elder brother beside him and said: "I should ask the fourth elder brother to send Yurong ointment to the fourteenth brother first, and then I will take my own. And it should be used secretly, not outside. .And the servants outside were too lazy to report that the fourteenth brother came in. They really neglected the fourteenth brother."
The emperor was so angry that he laughed out loud, what the hell, that's it?
"What are you talking about? You are all brothers. Why can't you pick up the things that the fourth brother gave you? You are the elder brother. What do you do with fourteen at one o'clock in the evening? He got angry and beat someone because of this?"
He glanced at the silent fourth elder brother, and sighed in his heart.
The emperor understood the embarrassment of the fourth elder brother, and his palms and backs were brothers, so it was not good to intercede with anyone.
At this moment, the fourth elder brother came over, probably dragged by the thirteenth elder brother.
"You have no preference as an elder brother. The empress dowager, concubine De and several brothers have taken care of it. It's just that Geng Gege made this thing by himself. It's not easy to do. There is a priority. Get it earlier and get it later." What's the point of getting it later?"
The implication is that the fourth elder brother is right, why did he send the wrong gift, it is obvious that the fourteenth elder brother is too willful and loves to lose his temper!
The emperor also felt sorry for the thirteenth elder brother who was about to be bullied by the fourteenth elder brother just after losing his birth mother, and frowned, "You too, just accept what my brother gave you and use it, why not use it secretly? Is it all gone? Also, the servants in your palace are too careless, Fourteen can go in casually, and there is no one to pass them on, so where are they all hiding?"
The thirteenth elder brother repeatedly responded, and when he lowered his head, his eye circles were a little red.Coupled with half of his face being red and swollen, the emperor couldn't bear it even if he had a hard heart. He stepped forward and touched his cheek and said, "Okay, it's a half-grown child, why are you crying? Turn around and take care of these palaces who don't take good care of you." Everyone has changed. When your injury is healed, you have to practice your martial arts quickly, and you will know how to hide next time. Look at your swollen, it won't go away for several days."
Although the thirteenth elder brother was also unprepared against the fourteenth elder brother, that's why he was beaten so badly, is it because his martial arts can't keep up?
The thirteenth elder brother nodded slightly, and said in a muffled voice: "Huang Ama, I will definitely practice martial arts well later on. That is, the fourteenth brother has a high talent in martial arts, and even the master has praised him several times."
So his talent is not as good as that of the fourteenth elder brother. Can he really beat him with hard training in martial arts?
When the emperor heard that, he became even more angry with the fourteenth elder brother: "What is the purpose of learning martial arts? Is it to beat my own brothers?"
While talking here, Li Dequan leaned closer and reported: "Your Majesty, the Concubine De has come and said that she is here to make amends for Brother Fourteen."
The emperor said displeased: "It is said that loving mothers often lose children, if it wasn't for Concubine De spoiling Shisi, how could Sisi become what he is today?"
He glanced at the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother, waved his hand and said: "You let Concubine De wait in the side hall first, and send these two boys out."
Obviously the emperor didn't intend to let Concubine De see the fourth elder brother, otherwise she would complain even more to the eldest son in her heart, and the fourth elder brother would be even more embarrassed.
Originally, it was a trivial matter between the two little brothers fighting for their brother's favor, don't make the relationship between the two mothers and children worse.
Concubine De was invited to the side hall, and she felt uneasy, because she heard that the thirteenth elder brother had already rushed to the imperial study room, and also brought the fourth elder brother with her. Brother's bad words.
She underestimated the thirteenth elder brother. If the fourth elder brother was alone, he would know the eldest son. He must have turned the big thing into a small matter, and left the palace without saying a word. He would never go to the emperor to make irresponsible remarks .
The thirteenth elder brother knew how to please the emperor since he was a child, so he might encourage the fourth elder brother to say something in front of the emperor.
Concubine De stuffed a purse into Li Dequan, and asked cautiously: "Li Banban, are the thirteenth elder brother and fourth elder brother still in it?"
Li Dequan didn't take the purse, he pushed it back lightly and said: "Since De Concubine knows it well, why bother to ask the servant."
Concubine De obviously knew that the thirteenth elder brother and the fourth elder brother had come to the imperial study, so she came here in a hurry.
Knowing that Li Dequan was someone close to the emperor, she would not accept gifts easily, so she took the purse back.
Li Dequan didn't stay here for long, another high eunuch was guarding him, and he went to send the thirteenth elder brother and the fourth elder brother out of the imperial study.
Concubine De thought that Li Dequan was not good at talking, so this eunuch Gao might not be so, so she pushed her purse forward again.
Eunuch Gao smiled and didn't answer, but bowed very respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, this is impossible."
Concubine De narrowed her eyes and said: "I'm not making things difficult for you, I just want to know how the emperor is feeling today."
Eunuch Gao muttered to himself, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother fought over a mere box of Yurong ointment, could the emperor be in a good mood?
"Your Majesty also understands that the Emperor never shows joy."
He took the purse, but the answer was nothing more than nonsense.
Concubine De frowned, but still didn't ask further questions until Li Dequan came to ask her to see the emperor.
The emperor was lowering his head to review the memorial, and when he saw her coming, he nodded casually and said, "Come, grind ink for me."
When Concubine De heard this, she couldn't speak, so she had to grind the ink honestly.
She did a lot of grinding ink when she was young, even though she hasn't done it for a long time, she is still handy, but after a long time, her hands will inevitably get tired, and she dare not really stop.
After waiting for a while, the emperor finally put down the brush and signaled Concubine De to stop: "You came here on purpose because of Fourteen's affairs?"
When he brought this up, Concubine De hurriedly apologized: "It's my concubine who didn't manage Shishi well, and he didn't know how to restrain his temper when it got worse. But it was also because of the grievance in his heart, Shishi didn't say anything, and there was still something old in his heart." Si is the elder brother. Seeing that the fourth child gave Shisan first, and then gave it to him, it is inevitable that he felt wronged at the young age of 14, but he was impulsive, and his actions were neither serious nor serious. Turn around and concubine to make a good apology to Shisan, don’t Broke the brotherhood between him and Fourteen."
If Brother Thirteen hadn't come first, the Emperor would have been really moved by Concubine De's words.As for the thirteenth elder brother's cheeks that are getting more and more swollen, how can the fourteenth elder brother bring it over with a single sentence?
He pondered for a while and said, "Did you know that when he was in school years ago, Fourteen smashed Thirteen's inkstone, so that he could only share one with other people?"
Concubine De lowered her head and said: "Shishian must have accidentally smashed it, he mentioned it to his concubine later, and compensated Xiao Shisan for a new inkstone."
The emperor said again: "Then do you know that when they were learning martial arts, Fourteen nearly hit Thirteen with an arrow?"
Concubine De was startled, and could only say: "Since I just started learning martial arts, maybe my hands are not steady, it may not be on purpose."
The emperor laughed after hearing this, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "The previous incident was intermittent. After I reported it, I listened to it and didn't take it seriously. Until today, the two really fought each other for real. Now, look at Thirteen's appearance and you'll know whether Fourteen did it on purpose."
"His talent in martial arts is excellent. The martial arts master has praised him several times. Don't say that his unsteady hands are not intentional. If his talent is really like this, the master will not praise him."
Those masters are not ordinary people. Although they can please the princes, they dare not lie in front of the emperor.
At most, it is a good thing to say, but the only ones who are full of praise are the prince and the fourteenth elder brother.
The prince is the emperor's favorite, who dares to say a bad word, but the prince was also very hardworking when he was a child, his talent is indeed good, and it is indeed worthy of praise.
The fourteenth elder brother is really talented in martial arts, the thirteenth elder brother has mediocre talent but is better than hard work, otherwise, no matter how old he is, he may not be the opponent of the fourteenth elder brother.
The emperor put his hands behind his back and said: "Shisi's temperament needs to be sharpened. When he is unhappy, he will lose his temper and vent his anger on others! Didn't he say that learning martial arts will fight against the enemy for me in order to become a general in the future? If he doesn't finish it, he will know how to use the martial arts he has learned to deal with his brothers, and he will be able to do it when he grows up?"
Concubine De was so talked about that she couldn't hold her head up. In fact, before she came, she only thought that Elder Brother Thirteen might have said something that angered Elder Fourteen. Her own son knew that he was irritable and impulsive. I can't hold back my temper.
Now I heard that the [-]th elder brother has picked on the thirteenth elder brother more than once, and the thirteenth elder brother has been patient, but the emperor is not happy that his son is bullied.
The family's biological mother is gone, and Concubine Min was still very popular with the emperor during her lifetime.
Concubine De is favored again, but now she bullies a motherless child, can the emperor allow her to be shameless?
"Your Majesty, Little Fourteen has always been impulsive, and he will regret it later..."
The emperor waved his hand and interrupted Concubine De's words: "Okay, this has been done several times, do you think Xiao Shisi regrets it? Have you reflected on it? If Thirteen hadn't had a good temper, the two of them would have started fighting long ago. Ten San doesn't care about his younger brother, Shisi, but Sisi rubs his nose and face instead, it's going too far!"
"Since he likes to fight so much, it's just a matter of letting Xiao Shishi go to live in Xi Daying for a month, so that he can see how other people become this general in advance!"
Concubine De was taken aback, feeling a little distressed, the room and board at Xi Daying must not be as good as in the palace, and Brother Fourteen must suffer.
It's just that going to Xi Daying is also a kind of exercise, which is a good thing for the fourteenth elder brother, so she said: "Thank you, the emperor, for your mercy."
The emperor sighed and said, "I know you dote on Shishi more, and it's also because of Xiao Liu."
The sixth elder brother was very favored by the emperor, but it was a pity that he passed away at a young age, which was a great blow to Concubine De, so he doted on the fourteenth elder brother who was finally obtained later, as precious as the eyeballs, for fear that the fourteenth would suffer Even the slightest grievance is afraid that something will happen to this son.
The emperor used to turn a blind eye to Brother Fourteen because of this, but now Fourteen is going too far, he doesn't know how to restrain himself at all, and Concubine De is conniving, he is only in his teens, will he still have it?
If Concubine De pampers her again, won't this kid go to heaven?
The emperor waved his hand, as if he didn't want to talk to Concubine De, Concubine De tactfully withdrew.
Before leaving, the emperor said to her: "You don't need to interfere with Shishi's packing, I will ask Li Dequan to send someone to clean it up, and then send him directly to Xi Daying."
Concubine De agreed, she originally wanted to go there and stuff some cash or dry food quickly so that Elder Fourteen could live more comfortably in Xidaying.
Now it's all over, the emperor can see her plan at a glance, Concubine De dares not.
As soon as she left, the emperor ordered Li Dequan: "Turn back and tell the person who sent Shisi to hide his identity, and let Shisi enter the barracks as a soldier. Don't tell anyone except Tude from the Western Camp. Tude doesn't need to give Fourteen preferential treatment, let him beat him around, after all, Tude didn't start as a soldier back then?"
Li Dequan said that the emperor sent the fourteenth elder brother to Xidaying, obviously not for him to enjoy the blessings, half-children went to the military camp, and when they met those veterans with hot tempers, they would explode at one point, and fight as much as eating.
He couldn't help hesitating and said: "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to follow Brother Fourteen?"
After all, it was a barracks, even if General Tudor stared at him from morning to night, it was impossible for him to stare at him from morning to night. Brother Fourteen was really tortured by veterans, so no one dared to take this responsibility.
The emperor murmured: "Forget it, send a secret guard to keep an eye on it. If Shisi's life is not in danger, there is no need to take action. Let him suffer a little bit."
This child doesn't suffer a little bit, he is used to being domineering in the palace, and he doesn't know how to write the word restraint in the future!
Let the fourteenth elder brother go to see the warmth and warmth of people, don't think that with the backing of Concubine De in the palace, he can really do whatever he wants, and he can become a general at will!
The fourteenth elder brother hardly packed his things and was about to be sent out of the palace. The fourth elder brother seized the time to see him, but it was a pity that the emperor ordered them not to see him.
The fourth elder brother could only watch the carriage leaving the fourteenth elder brother outside the palace, his brows could not help but frown.
The carriage was simple and dilapidated, and it didn't look like something from the palace at all. It was obviously deliberately hiding the identity of the fourteenth elder brother and sending it to the West Camp.
As far as the recruit with the temperament of the fourteenth elder brother is concerned, it is impossible for the veteran not to hold him back and train him every day to make people convinced.
Geng Yi saw that the fourth elder brother frowned when he came back, and couldn't even write the notebook in the study, so he couldn't help being a little surprised after asking.
I thought that the emperor doted on the fourteenth elder brother very much, so he thought about it behind closed doors, and then released him after a period of confinement, did he actually send him to the barracks to study?
In fact, for Brother Fourteen, this may not be a bad thing.
He has been spoiled by Concubine De since he was a child, and he doesn't care about the consequences, especially Concubine De looks at the fourth elder brother who is awkward, and the fourth elder brother dare not move forward. The fourteenth elder brother still likes this brother very much and wants to get close.
Didn't I see that after the fourteenth brother received the Yurong ointment, his little expression was surprised and secretly happy?
Especially when he saw that the thirteenth elder brother received the Yurong ointment earlier than himself, the fourteenth elder brother became furious?
This doesn't mean that the fourteenth elder brother still wants to get close to the fourth elder brother in his heart. If Concubine De was not in the way, the relationship between the two brothers would not have become so awkward, and it might worsen in the future.
Now Fourteenth Elder Brother and Concubine De are separated for a period of time, living in the barracks, although it is a bit bitter, but with ordinary people, the veterans also like to frustrate the arrogance of the recruits, and they will not really be cruel.
With the ruthlessness and skill of the fourteenth brother, maybe he will be accepted by the veterans soon!
These veterans have experienced life and death, and they are much more open-minded than ordinary people. Brother Fourteen may start to restrain his temper when he is with them, and he may become more sensible.
Geng Yi persuaded the fourth elder brother and said: "The fourteenth elder brother is going to Xidaying to meet the world, the emperor will definitely not let him suffer too much."
The fourth elder brother nodded slightly and sighed: "I hope so."
He still understands this younger brother's temperament, the emperor will definitely send someone to watch him, but the fourteenth brother must have a big fall at the beginning, and the emperor will not stop him, he is waiting for this to teach the fourteenth brother a lesson!
Even though the emperor sent Elder Fourteen away, he still asked Li Dequan at night: "Did Fourteen send a letter from Xidaying?"
Li Dequan bowed his head and brought the letter. The emperor couldn't help laughing after reading it: "This kid's temper is still the same, he explodes at a little bit, and he started fighting with veterans as soon as he entered the barracks. It's still a one-on-three, so arrogant."
Veterans have all come here from the battlefield. Even if they don't learn much martial arts and their skills are not good enough, they have enough experience to deal with a brat.
In the end, Brother Fourteen was beaten up by three veterans. He was still unconvinced. He challenged again the next day and was beaten up again. On the third day, he struggled and fought.
The veteran could only shake his head when he looked at this ten-year-old boy: so impulsive, isn't he going to the battlefield to die in the future?
This remark made the fourteenth elder brother unconvinced: "Why are you going to die, I am going to be a general!"
The old soldier slapped Brother Fourteen on the back of the head, but it seemed that he was exerting all his strength, and there was only a little pain. Brother Fourteen held his head, turned around and wanted to fight again, but the veteran held his head with one hand, and he just If you can pull your arms but can't touch each other, don't be too angry.
Seeing Elder Fourteen's angry look, the veteran smiled heartily and said, "You have ambition, and a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. It's just that you are not alone in the battlefield. You have to fight with the people around you." Only by working together can we survive together.”
Only then did Brother Fourteen calm down, and the veteran also withdrew his hand and sighed, "Do you know how many people were in our team?"
Hearing this, Elder Fourteen looked at the ten people in the team and asked in confusion, "Twenty?"
The old soldier shook his head and said, "Three hundred, we are the only old guys left. Once we are scattered on the battlefield, it is impossible to fight alone, and they will soon be wiped out by the opponent. That's why I say you Don't be too arrogant, kid, one person's fists are limited, and it is only possible to win if everyone twists together."
Elder Fourteen is still not convinced: "These days I'm one-to-many, tomorrow one-by-one, I'm sure I can win."
The veteran laughed and said, "When you went to the battlefield, who told you justice, and you came one by one? It would be good if you didn't swarm. Where did you come from, you are a fool, and your family members are so relieved to send you here."
Another veteran poked him with his elbow and said, "Look, the calluses on his hands are not deep. He should have invited a martial artist to learn martial arts at home. His skin is thin and tender. It is estimated that some noble son sent him here to practice for a while." That's all, I'm leaving soon, where will I really go to the battlefield with us?"
The fourteenth elder brother said unhappily: "Who said that I studied martial arts so hard to become a general. Is it reasonable to be a general if you don't go to the battlefield?"
He had an immature face, but the veteran found that this kid was not joking.
The two looked at each other, and the first veteran patted Brother Fourteen on the shoulder so hard that he almost fell to the ground.
The fourteenth elder brother grinned and opened the big hands on his shoulders, but the veteran smiled and said: "You are young, you really have ambitions, my brother misjudged you, don't mind me! My surname is Li, and I call me old Lee will do."
After all, Elder Fourteen is indeed skinny and tender, and the clothes he wears can be seen to be deliberately leaning towards civilians, but they are still much better than ordinary fabrics, which shows that the family background is very good.
With his background, he might not have to worry about eating, drinking and having fun all his life, but he worked hard to learn martial arts at a young age, just to be able to fight the enemy and become a general in the future, not just talking about it.
A pampered person has calluses in his palms, which shows that Brother Fourteen has worked hard enough to practice martial arts since he was a child.
Some of those who came to the barracks were fleeing, and had nowhere to go, their homes and family members were gone, and they simply came in to serve as soldiers alone, at least they could eat and clothe themselves warmly.
They hung their heads on their trousers to kill the enemy desperately, and they only wanted to survive on the battlefield, or to have a better life in the future.
One day has been going well, but the half-year-old who came to join them without hesitation made the veterans couldn't help feeling and admiring them, and quickly accepted the fourteenth brother.
The emperor looked at the letterheads delivered in the past few days, and stroked his beard in relief.
No matter how rough the fourteenth elder brother was in the palace, he was still his child after all, at least he didn't lose face in the barracks, and soon became one with the veterans!
Just looking carefully, the emperor felt a headache again.
The veterans are not from good backgrounds, so there are naturally many small bad things. Brother Fourteen has learned a little from getting along with them for a long time.
For example, the fourteenth elder brother has learned to swear, and he can still swear for a quarter of an hour without repeating a word!
The emperor wiped his face, why does this kid not learn from the good ones, but learns from the bad ones so quickly!
He was thinking about whether he should find a foster mother to correct him when Brother Fourteen came back, so as not to hurt his eyes and ears.
Over there, Li Dequan came to report: "Your Majesty, the fourth elder brother is asking to see you."
After all, the [-]th elder brother just left the Compassionate Peace Palace on the front foot, so why did he fight with the thirteenth elder brother on the back foot?
The Empress Dowager was also surprised, and asked in Mongolian to Mammy Li beside her, "What's the matter, didn't Xiao Shishi just come back from here, what happened?"
Mammy Li asked again, and the mammy shook her head and said, "Brother Fourteen went to find Elder Thirteen, and the two of them started fighting without saying a few words."
The empress dowager had a headache, so Mammy Li asked, "Which one of them did it first?"
The mother faltered: "The slaves don't know, they just saw it outside and rushed to report it. The eunuchs serving in the thirteen elder brothers' palace all went to fight. Even if the elder brothers are of high status, they didn't dare to push too hard."
Geng Yi blinked, feeling that something was wrong with her being so careless.Something happened in the thirteenth elder brother's palace. If you don't go to Li Dequan or directly to the emperor, why did you come to the empress dowager?
Knowing that the Empress Dowager has high blood pressure, she is about to be irritated, and if her blood pressure soars when she is angry, wouldn't there be an accident?
She quickly stared at the empress dowager, for fear that something might go wrong if she was really angry.
Fortunately, the empress dowager only frowned a little unhappy, got up and said in Mongolian: "Then I'll go over there to see what's going on."
Mammy Li hurriedly supported the Empress Dowager, and asked cautiously: "My brothers are not very old, it's just impulsive. Empress Dowager, be careful with your steps, don't be angry with yourself."
The empress dowager waved her hand, motioned Geng Yi to support her on the other side, and said, "Don't worry, I don't know what their children can do, but it's just a little thing to do."
As soon as she moved, the emperor naturally received the news, and rushed over soon.
The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother have been separated by the eunuchs. The thirteenth elder brother has bruises on his face, and his clothes are messy. It was just a little messy on his body, and it was the fourteenth elder brother who moved first. The thirteenth elder brother obviously didn't fight back much, and his face began to swell.
The empress dowager just arrived, and the emperor also arrived, with a displeased face, first greeted the empress dowager and said: "Why did you startle the empress dowager, what's the matter with you two boys, why don't you come and kneel down?"
The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother knelt down in a hurry, and the thirteenth elder brother lowered his head and hissed, obviously the wound was pulled.
The emperor ordered Li Dequan angrily: "Where is the imperial physician, when will he arrive?"
Even if he was angry, he still cared about the two little ones, not to make any mistakes.
"Which one of you can tell me, what's going on? There was a fight during the New Year's Eve?"
The fourteenth elder brother refused to speak with a straight face, and the thirteenth elder brother seemed unable to speak while covering half of his face.
Fortunately, two imperial physicians came in a hurry and showed the injuries to the two elder brothers respectively.
They clasped their hands and reported: "Your Majesty, Brother Thirteen's wounds are all on his face, and Brother Fourteen has bruises on his stomach."
Geng Yi raised his eyebrows, thinking that Brother Thirteen didn't fight back just now, so he hit somewhere he couldn't see, he was shrewd enough!
Elder Fourteen is much more honest. Everyone says that hitting people is not slapping in the face, but he insisted on hitting Elder Thirteen in the face so that people can't come out to see people for several days, which is cruel enough.
In this way, comparing the two, everyone will feel pity for the thirteenth elder brother. After all, he may have been beaten so badly that he resisted out of embarrassment. .
Sure enough, the emperor frowned and said, "Tell me, fourteenth, what kind of grudge is it that made you hit brother? If you don't explain clearly to me, you'll just keep kneeling today!"
The fourteenth elder brother pursed his lips and said firmly: "Huang Ama, my son was impulsive and lost his strength."
The emperor was about to laugh angrily: "You haven't restrained your strength yet, do you have the face to say that you are impulsive and hit people in the face? Someday you will be unhappy, will you come to hit me in the face on impulse?"
Brother Fourteen hurriedly said: "I don't dare, I won't dare next time."
The emperor became even angrier: "Is there a next time? Is your monkey about to turn upside down?"
On the side of the fourteenth elder brother, I couldn’t ask anything. After the thirteenth elder brother asked the imperial doctor to prescribe the medicine, he was able to speak without the pain in his cheeks, but he was also confused: "Huang Ama, after the fourteenth brother came here When he saw me, he suddenly raised his fist and hit me, but my son didn't understand."
He was also stunned by the beating, and didn't know how to fight back for a while, but later he saw Elder Fourteen raised his fist and hit him like crazy, and he was in pain, so he couldn't help but hit back.
But the thirteenth elder brother also knows how to measure, his strength is not too big, he really restrained his strength, and just wanted to fight back the fourteenth elder brother, so there is only a little bruise on the fourteenth elder brother's stomach, which is worse than the redness and swelling of his cheeks much better.
The emperor could tell at a glance that the fourteenth elder brother had really put in a lot of effort. Seeing that his mouth was tightly shut and he was about to get angry, he was still persuaded by the empress dowager: "It's a big Chinese New Year, the emperor Take care of your body, and don’t be angry with yourself. The children are so impulsive when they are young. Just ask them slowly. Let them get up first, the ground is cold here, so don’t freeze in winter.”
Hearing this, the emperor could only let the two of them get up, but he didn't intend to let it go lightly: "This matter can't be ignored. When will Fourteen explain clearly when to come out again? Go back to your palace and stay there. If you don't reflect on yourself, don't let it go." Figured it out!"
This is to ground the fourteenth elder brother. After hearing this, the fourteenth elder brother had to honestly go back and think about it behind closed doors.
The thirteenth elder brother suffered an innocent disaster, his face was injured, and he was beaten by the fourteenth elder brother. He was very innocent, so the emperor put it down lightly: "You can take good care of your wounds in your own palace, and you will be free from homework. When will my cheeks get better and when will I go to school again?"
Brother Thirteen honestly agreed, looking so pitiful, the empress dowager persuaded the emperor to go back, and stayed to ask: "Little Shisan has always been smart, just now I saw you hesitated to speak, is it true?" Is there anything wrong with telling the emperor?"
The empress dowager dismissed the palace people, leaving only Mammy Li and Sifujin, Geng Yi and others who came with her. Brother Thirteen called "Sister-in-law Si" and "Sister-in-law" before whispering: "Grandson is Guess, but I’m not sure, so I dare not tell Huang Ama.”
The thirteenth brother pointed to the jar inside and said, "This is what the fourth brother sent someone to deliver, because I don't like to apply balm in winter. It is too fragrant and sticky, and my cheeks are cracked by the cold. Look at it, the fourth brother. Feeling distressed, I sent someone to send it after it was finished. I just saw Shisi holding a box in his arms, and when I came in and saw mine, I smashed the brocade box."
He pointed to the corner, and it really was the brocade box that Fujin and Geng Yi gave to Brother Fourteen just now. The box was smashed to pieces on the ground and the jar was also cracked, revealing the jade ointment inside.
The empress dowager understood at a glance that the fourteenth elder brother came here excitedly with Yurong ointment to show off to the thirteenth elder brother, but who knew that the thirteenth elder brother used it earlier than herself, which meant that the fourth elder brother used it earlier I sent the thirteenth elder brother here first, so I was angry and smashed the brocade box, and rushed up to beat people.
Geng Yi didn't expect that he gave Yurong ointment for a while, and let the two little elder brothers fight, it's really a sin.
She was full of helplessness, and Si Fujin explained to the thirteenth elder brother: "Actually, it was because the Yurong ointment made for the empress dowager was repeated several times before it succeeded, and it was a few days late. It was also my suggestion to the fourth elder brother. I will deliver it all."
It just so happened that she was going to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager, so she simply gave away the savings of Concubine De and Fourteenth Elder Brother, who would have thought that this little time difference would make Fourteenth Elder Brother dissatisfied?
The fourteenth elder brother probably thought that the fourth elder brother missed the thirteenth elder brother more than his own younger brother, so he gave the thirteenth elder brother first and then gave it to him, so he got angry.
The empress dowager couldn't help sighing: "What's the matter!"
The fourth elder brother was kind enough to send Yurong ointment to the younger brothers, who knew that it was only a day or two before these two little ones started fighting?
It made the fourth elder brother look like a human inside and out, which was embarrassing.
When Concubine De later found out and asked, she would definitely feel that the fourth elder brother was partial to the thirteenth elder brother, and instead of giving it to her own younger brother the fourteenth elder brother first, she would give it to the thirteenth elder brother first.
If it wasn't for the wrong time for him to send it, how could the two young ones fight?
Not to mention the Empress Dowager, Si Fujin and Geng Yi could all imagine it, and they suddenly had a headache.
Si Fujin knew the concubine De concubine quite well, and knew that when she turned around and saw the bruises on the fourteenth elder brother's stomach, she would definitely blame the fourth elder brother, so he pleaded: "I hope the empress dowager can help me to talk to the empress de concubine." ,otherwise……"
However, Geng Yi felt that the empress dowager said that Concubine De had promised well on the surface, but turned around and became more distant from the relationship between the fourth princes, which completely added fuel to the flames.
The fourth elder brother came faster than they expected. He was in a hurry, and his clothes were a little messy. After tidying up, he came to the thirteenth elder brother first, and after paying his respects to the empress dowager, he gently stroked the thirteenth elder brother's cheek Reluctantly said: "It's all my fault, let the thirteenth brother's face not recover for several days."
The thirteenth elder brother comforted him in turn, saying, "You did not do what the fourth brother said. Besides, the fourth sister-in-law has already explained the reason. If the fourteenth brother loses his temper after knowing it, it is still his fault. What does it have to do with the fourth brother?"
The empress dowager comforted the fourth elder brother and said: "I already know what has happened, I will find an opportunity to talk to Concubine De later, and the matter will be over."
The fourth elder brother didn't think that the matter could pass like this, so he bowed his head and thanked him.
The empress dowager sighed, knowing that the relationship between the two mothers and their sons was not too harmonious because they were separated at the beginning, and the fourth elder brother was also quite embarrassed.
Seeing that Elder Brother Thirteen was fine, she helped Nanny Li's hand and went back.
The thirteenth elder brother grabbed the fourth elder brother's hand and whispered: "Fourth elder brother, you accompany me to see Huang Ama and explain everything clearly."
Only the empress dowager was there just now, the emperor didn't know the reason for this, and he might have thought that it was the fourth elder brother who favored the one and favored the other, which caused the two younger brothers to fight.
Both Fujin and Geng Yi agreed: "Yes, it's better for the master to explain clearly."
The fourth elder brother was in a dilemma. If he was asked to explain clearly in front of the emperor, would Concubine De think too much?
If Geng Yi knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say that Concubine De would think too much no matter what, it would be better to clear up the misunderstanding on the emperor's side first.
After all, the fourth elder brother was really kind, but in the end he ended up in a show.
The fourth elder brother was urged by the thirteenth elder brother to meet the emperor, and Fujin brought Geng Yi home first.
Geng Yi was very sad in the carriage, with regards to the stuffy temperament of the fourth elder brother, can he really explain it clearly in front of the emperor?
Fujin understood, seeing her frown, he persuaded: "Don't worry, there is Elder Brother Thirteen here, everything will be fine."
Geng Yi didn't understand, why is it that the thirteenth elder brother is here, so everything seems to be safe?
She thought about it, maybe the fourth elder brother would not be able to say anything in front of the emperor, or his words would be so harsh that he would not like the emperor.
But Elder Brother Thirteen is different. He was well-behaved and intelligent since he was a child, and he was favored by the emperor.
Whenever the emperor went out, he would always bring the thirteenth elder brother with him, without exception, which showed his love for the thirteenth elder brother.
Geng Yi rested his chin in one hand, thinking that the thirteenth elder brother was impatient and took the fourth elder brother to explain to the emperor first. In fact, was he afraid that Concubine De would cry and complain, and they would become passive?
Elder Brother Thirteen really thinks this way. He has stayed with the Emperor for a long time, and he takes himself with him every time he goes out. He understands the Emperor's temperament better than anyone else.
It is better to explain some things clearly first, and it is easy to cause misunderstanding if you delay.
In particular, some words said by the person concerned are clear and clear, but it becomes another matter to follow others or come out of other people's mouths.
He naturally understood that the fourth elder brother was kind to the thirteenth elder brother.
Especially after the death of his biological mother Concubine Min, the thirteenth elder brother can understand the warmth and coldness of human relationships better, and only the fourth elder brother treats him as always.
If there is anything delicious, fun and useful, I will send it to him as soon as possible.
Now that the accident happened because of him, how could the fourth elder brother be blamed if he didn't know about it?
The two walked quickly to the door of the imperial study room. The thirteenth elder brother asked Li Dequan cautiously: "Li Banban, is Huang Ama busy inside?"
Li Dequan saluted the two before saying: "Yes, the emperor is reviewing the memorial."
In fact, the emperor was angry, he was reading the memorial, he was walking up and down in the imperial study, and he didn't know what to do with the two small ones.
As soon as he heard the sound outside, the emperor said angrily: "Everyone who is muttering outside, come in and talk!"
After the thirteenth elder brother grabbed the fourth elder brother and went in to salute, he looked over eagerly and said: "My son is wrong, please don't be angry with Huang Ama, it would be good if you get angry."
When the emperor heard the pitiful look of the thirteenth elder brother, he said helplessly: "Okay, everyone get up and talk. Tell me, where did you go wrong?"
The thirteenth elder brother glanced at the fourth elder brother beside him and said: "I should ask the fourth elder brother to send Yurong ointment to the fourteenth brother first, and then I will take my own. And it should be used secretly, not outside. .And the servants outside were too lazy to report that the fourteenth brother came in. They really neglected the fourteenth brother."
The emperor was so angry that he laughed out loud, what the hell, that's it?
"What are you talking about? You are all brothers. Why can't you pick up the things that the fourth brother gave you? You are the elder brother. What do you do with fourteen at one o'clock in the evening? He got angry and beat someone because of this?"
He glanced at the silent fourth elder brother, and sighed in his heart.
The emperor understood the embarrassment of the fourth elder brother, and his palms and backs were brothers, so it was not good to intercede with anyone.
At this moment, the fourth elder brother came over, probably dragged by the thirteenth elder brother.
"You have no preference as an elder brother. The empress dowager, concubine De and several brothers have taken care of it. It's just that Geng Gege made this thing by himself. It's not easy to do. There is a priority. Get it earlier and get it later." What's the point of getting it later?"
The implication is that the fourth elder brother is right, why did he send the wrong gift, it is obvious that the fourteenth elder brother is too willful and loves to lose his temper!
The emperor also felt sorry for the thirteenth elder brother who was about to be bullied by the fourteenth elder brother just after losing his birth mother, and frowned, "You too, just accept what my brother gave you and use it, why not use it secretly? Is it all gone? Also, the servants in your palace are too careless, Fourteen can go in casually, and there is no one to pass them on, so where are they all hiding?"
The thirteenth elder brother repeatedly responded, and when he lowered his head, his eye circles were a little red.Coupled with half of his face being red and swollen, the emperor couldn't bear it even if he had a hard heart. He stepped forward and touched his cheek and said, "Okay, it's a half-grown child, why are you crying? Turn around and take care of these palaces who don't take good care of you." Everyone has changed. When your injury is healed, you have to practice your martial arts quickly, and you will know how to hide next time. Look at your swollen, it won't go away for several days."
Although the thirteenth elder brother was also unprepared against the fourteenth elder brother, that's why he was beaten so badly, is it because his martial arts can't keep up?
The thirteenth elder brother nodded slightly, and said in a muffled voice: "Huang Ama, I will definitely practice martial arts well later on. That is, the fourteenth brother has a high talent in martial arts, and even the master has praised him several times."
So his talent is not as good as that of the fourteenth elder brother. Can he really beat him with hard training in martial arts?
When the emperor heard that, he became even more angry with the fourteenth elder brother: "What is the purpose of learning martial arts? Is it to beat my own brothers?"
While talking here, Li Dequan leaned closer and reported: "Your Majesty, the Concubine De has come and said that she is here to make amends for Brother Fourteen."
The emperor said displeased: "It is said that loving mothers often lose children, if it wasn't for Concubine De spoiling Shisi, how could Sisi become what he is today?"
He glanced at the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother, waved his hand and said: "You let Concubine De wait in the side hall first, and send these two boys out."
Obviously the emperor didn't intend to let Concubine De see the fourth elder brother, otherwise she would complain even more to the eldest son in her heart, and the fourth elder brother would be even more embarrassed.
Originally, it was a trivial matter between the two little brothers fighting for their brother's favor, don't make the relationship between the two mothers and children worse.
Concubine De was invited to the side hall, and she felt uneasy, because she heard that the thirteenth elder brother had already rushed to the imperial study room, and also brought the fourth elder brother with her. Brother's bad words.
She underestimated the thirteenth elder brother. If the fourth elder brother was alone, he would know the eldest son. He must have turned the big thing into a small matter, and left the palace without saying a word. He would never go to the emperor to make irresponsible remarks .
The thirteenth elder brother knew how to please the emperor since he was a child, so he might encourage the fourth elder brother to say something in front of the emperor.
Concubine De stuffed a purse into Li Dequan, and asked cautiously: "Li Banban, are the thirteenth elder brother and fourth elder brother still in it?"
Li Dequan didn't take the purse, he pushed it back lightly and said: "Since De Concubine knows it well, why bother to ask the servant."
Concubine De obviously knew that the thirteenth elder brother and the fourth elder brother had come to the imperial study, so she came here in a hurry.
Knowing that Li Dequan was someone close to the emperor, she would not accept gifts easily, so she took the purse back.
Li Dequan didn't stay here for long, another high eunuch was guarding him, and he went to send the thirteenth elder brother and the fourth elder brother out of the imperial study.
Concubine De thought that Li Dequan was not good at talking, so this eunuch Gao might not be so, so she pushed her purse forward again.
Eunuch Gao smiled and didn't answer, but bowed very respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, this is impossible."
Concubine De narrowed her eyes and said: "I'm not making things difficult for you, I just want to know how the emperor is feeling today."
Eunuch Gao muttered to himself, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother fought over a mere box of Yurong ointment, could the emperor be in a good mood?
"Your Majesty also understands that the Emperor never shows joy."
He took the purse, but the answer was nothing more than nonsense.
Concubine De frowned, but still didn't ask further questions until Li Dequan came to ask her to see the emperor.
The emperor was lowering his head to review the memorial, and when he saw her coming, he nodded casually and said, "Come, grind ink for me."
When Concubine De heard this, she couldn't speak, so she had to grind the ink honestly.
She did a lot of grinding ink when she was young, even though she hasn't done it for a long time, she is still handy, but after a long time, her hands will inevitably get tired, and she dare not really stop.
After waiting for a while, the emperor finally put down the brush and signaled Concubine De to stop: "You came here on purpose because of Fourteen's affairs?"
When he brought this up, Concubine De hurriedly apologized: "It's my concubine who didn't manage Shishi well, and he didn't know how to restrain his temper when it got worse. But it was also because of the grievance in his heart, Shishi didn't say anything, and there was still something old in his heart." Si is the elder brother. Seeing that the fourth child gave Shisan first, and then gave it to him, it is inevitable that he felt wronged at the young age of 14, but he was impulsive, and his actions were neither serious nor serious. Turn around and concubine to make a good apology to Shisan, don’t Broke the brotherhood between him and Fourteen."
If Brother Thirteen hadn't come first, the Emperor would have been really moved by Concubine De's words.As for the thirteenth elder brother's cheeks that are getting more and more swollen, how can the fourteenth elder brother bring it over with a single sentence?
He pondered for a while and said, "Did you know that when he was in school years ago, Fourteen smashed Thirteen's inkstone, so that he could only share one with other people?"
Concubine De lowered her head and said: "Shishian must have accidentally smashed it, he mentioned it to his concubine later, and compensated Xiao Shisan for a new inkstone."
The emperor said again: "Then do you know that when they were learning martial arts, Fourteen nearly hit Thirteen with an arrow?"
Concubine De was startled, and could only say: "Since I just started learning martial arts, maybe my hands are not steady, it may not be on purpose."
The emperor laughed after hearing this, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "The previous incident was intermittent. After I reported it, I listened to it and didn't take it seriously. Until today, the two really fought each other for real. Now, look at Thirteen's appearance and you'll know whether Fourteen did it on purpose."
"His talent in martial arts is excellent. The martial arts master has praised him several times. Don't say that his unsteady hands are not intentional. If his talent is really like this, the master will not praise him."
Those masters are not ordinary people. Although they can please the princes, they dare not lie in front of the emperor.
At most, it is a good thing to say, but the only ones who are full of praise are the prince and the fourteenth elder brother.
The prince is the emperor's favorite, who dares to say a bad word, but the prince was also very hardworking when he was a child, his talent is indeed good, and it is indeed worthy of praise.
The fourteenth elder brother is really talented in martial arts, the thirteenth elder brother has mediocre talent but is better than hard work, otherwise, no matter how old he is, he may not be the opponent of the fourteenth elder brother.
The emperor put his hands behind his back and said: "Shisi's temperament needs to be sharpened. When he is unhappy, he will lose his temper and vent his anger on others! Didn't he say that learning martial arts will fight against the enemy for me in order to become a general in the future? If he doesn't finish it, he will know how to use the martial arts he has learned to deal with his brothers, and he will be able to do it when he grows up?"
Concubine De was so talked about that she couldn't hold her head up. In fact, before she came, she only thought that Elder Brother Thirteen might have said something that angered Elder Fourteen. Her own son knew that he was irritable and impulsive. I can't hold back my temper.
Now I heard that the [-]th elder brother has picked on the thirteenth elder brother more than once, and the thirteenth elder brother has been patient, but the emperor is not happy that his son is bullied.
The family's biological mother is gone, and Concubine Min was still very popular with the emperor during her lifetime.
Concubine De is favored again, but now she bullies a motherless child, can the emperor allow her to be shameless?
"Your Majesty, Little Fourteen has always been impulsive, and he will regret it later..."
The emperor waved his hand and interrupted Concubine De's words: "Okay, this has been done several times, do you think Xiao Shisi regrets it? Have you reflected on it? If Thirteen hadn't had a good temper, the two of them would have started fighting long ago. Ten San doesn't care about his younger brother, Shisi, but Sisi rubs his nose and face instead, it's going too far!"
"Since he likes to fight so much, it's just a matter of letting Xiao Shishi go to live in Xi Daying for a month, so that he can see how other people become this general in advance!"
Concubine De was taken aback, feeling a little distressed, the room and board at Xi Daying must not be as good as in the palace, and Brother Fourteen must suffer.
It's just that going to Xi Daying is also a kind of exercise, which is a good thing for the fourteenth elder brother, so she said: "Thank you, the emperor, for your mercy."
The emperor sighed and said, "I know you dote on Shishi more, and it's also because of Xiao Liu."
The sixth elder brother was very favored by the emperor, but it was a pity that he passed away at a young age, which was a great blow to Concubine De, so he doted on the fourteenth elder brother who was finally obtained later, as precious as the eyeballs, for fear that the fourteenth would suffer Even the slightest grievance is afraid that something will happen to this son.
The emperor used to turn a blind eye to Brother Fourteen because of this, but now Fourteen is going too far, he doesn't know how to restrain himself at all, and Concubine De is conniving, he is only in his teens, will he still have it?
If Concubine De pampers her again, won't this kid go to heaven?
The emperor waved his hand, as if he didn't want to talk to Concubine De, Concubine De tactfully withdrew.
Before leaving, the emperor said to her: "You don't need to interfere with Shishi's packing, I will ask Li Dequan to send someone to clean it up, and then send him directly to Xi Daying."
Concubine De agreed, she originally wanted to go there and stuff some cash or dry food quickly so that Elder Fourteen could live more comfortably in Xidaying.
Now it's all over, the emperor can see her plan at a glance, Concubine De dares not.
As soon as she left, the emperor ordered Li Dequan: "Turn back and tell the person who sent Shisi to hide his identity, and let Shisi enter the barracks as a soldier. Don't tell anyone except Tude from the Western Camp. Tude doesn't need to give Fourteen preferential treatment, let him beat him around, after all, Tude didn't start as a soldier back then?"
Li Dequan said that the emperor sent the fourteenth elder brother to Xidaying, obviously not for him to enjoy the blessings, half-children went to the military camp, and when they met those veterans with hot tempers, they would explode at one point, and fight as much as eating.
He couldn't help hesitating and said: "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to follow Brother Fourteen?"
After all, it was a barracks, even if General Tudor stared at him from morning to night, it was impossible for him to stare at him from morning to night. Brother Fourteen was really tortured by veterans, so no one dared to take this responsibility.
The emperor murmured: "Forget it, send a secret guard to keep an eye on it. If Shisi's life is not in danger, there is no need to take action. Let him suffer a little bit."
This child doesn't suffer a little bit, he is used to being domineering in the palace, and he doesn't know how to write the word restraint in the future!
Let the fourteenth elder brother go to see the warmth and warmth of people, don't think that with the backing of Concubine De in the palace, he can really do whatever he wants, and he can become a general at will!
The fourteenth elder brother hardly packed his things and was about to be sent out of the palace. The fourth elder brother seized the time to see him, but it was a pity that the emperor ordered them not to see him.
The fourth elder brother could only watch the carriage leaving the fourteenth elder brother outside the palace, his brows could not help but frown.
The carriage was simple and dilapidated, and it didn't look like something from the palace at all. It was obviously deliberately hiding the identity of the fourteenth elder brother and sending it to the West Camp.
As far as the recruit with the temperament of the fourteenth elder brother is concerned, it is impossible for the veteran not to hold him back and train him every day to make people convinced.
Geng Yi saw that the fourth elder brother frowned when he came back, and couldn't even write the notebook in the study, so he couldn't help being a little surprised after asking.
I thought that the emperor doted on the fourteenth elder brother very much, so he thought about it behind closed doors, and then released him after a period of confinement, did he actually send him to the barracks to study?
In fact, for Brother Fourteen, this may not be a bad thing.
He has been spoiled by Concubine De since he was a child, and he doesn't care about the consequences, especially Concubine De looks at the fourth elder brother who is awkward, and the fourth elder brother dare not move forward. The fourteenth elder brother still likes this brother very much and wants to get close.
Didn't I see that after the fourteenth brother received the Yurong ointment, his little expression was surprised and secretly happy?
Especially when he saw that the thirteenth elder brother received the Yurong ointment earlier than himself, the fourteenth elder brother became furious?
This doesn't mean that the fourteenth elder brother still wants to get close to the fourth elder brother in his heart. If Concubine De was not in the way, the relationship between the two brothers would not have become so awkward, and it might worsen in the future.
Now Fourteenth Elder Brother and Concubine De are separated for a period of time, living in the barracks, although it is a bit bitter, but with ordinary people, the veterans also like to frustrate the arrogance of the recruits, and they will not really be cruel.
With the ruthlessness and skill of the fourteenth brother, maybe he will be accepted by the veterans soon!
These veterans have experienced life and death, and they are much more open-minded than ordinary people. Brother Fourteen may start to restrain his temper when he is with them, and he may become more sensible.
Geng Yi persuaded the fourth elder brother and said: "The fourteenth elder brother is going to Xidaying to meet the world, the emperor will definitely not let him suffer too much."
The fourth elder brother nodded slightly and sighed: "I hope so."
He still understands this younger brother's temperament, the emperor will definitely send someone to watch him, but the fourteenth brother must have a big fall at the beginning, and the emperor will not stop him, he is waiting for this to teach the fourteenth brother a lesson!
Even though the emperor sent Elder Fourteen away, he still asked Li Dequan at night: "Did Fourteen send a letter from Xidaying?"
Li Dequan bowed his head and brought the letter. The emperor couldn't help laughing after reading it: "This kid's temper is still the same, he explodes at a little bit, and he started fighting with veterans as soon as he entered the barracks. It's still a one-on-three, so arrogant."
Veterans have all come here from the battlefield. Even if they don't learn much martial arts and their skills are not good enough, they have enough experience to deal with a brat.
In the end, Brother Fourteen was beaten up by three veterans. He was still unconvinced. He challenged again the next day and was beaten up again. On the third day, he struggled and fought.
The veteran could only shake his head when he looked at this ten-year-old boy: so impulsive, isn't he going to the battlefield to die in the future?
This remark made the fourteenth elder brother unconvinced: "Why are you going to die, I am going to be a general!"
The old soldier slapped Brother Fourteen on the back of the head, but it seemed that he was exerting all his strength, and there was only a little pain. Brother Fourteen held his head, turned around and wanted to fight again, but the veteran held his head with one hand, and he just If you can pull your arms but can't touch each other, don't be too angry.
Seeing Elder Fourteen's angry look, the veteran smiled heartily and said, "You have ambition, and a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. It's just that you are not alone in the battlefield. You have to fight with the people around you." Only by working together can we survive together.”
Only then did Brother Fourteen calm down, and the veteran also withdrew his hand and sighed, "Do you know how many people were in our team?"
Hearing this, Elder Fourteen looked at the ten people in the team and asked in confusion, "Twenty?"
The old soldier shook his head and said, "Three hundred, we are the only old guys left. Once we are scattered on the battlefield, it is impossible to fight alone, and they will soon be wiped out by the opponent. That's why I say you Don't be too arrogant, kid, one person's fists are limited, and it is only possible to win if everyone twists together."
Elder Fourteen is still not convinced: "These days I'm one-to-many, tomorrow one-by-one, I'm sure I can win."
The veteran laughed and said, "When you went to the battlefield, who told you justice, and you came one by one? It would be good if you didn't swarm. Where did you come from, you are a fool, and your family members are so relieved to send you here."
Another veteran poked him with his elbow and said, "Look, the calluses on his hands are not deep. He should have invited a martial artist to learn martial arts at home. His skin is thin and tender. It is estimated that some noble son sent him here to practice for a while." That's all, I'm leaving soon, where will I really go to the battlefield with us?"
The fourteenth elder brother said unhappily: "Who said that I studied martial arts so hard to become a general. Is it reasonable to be a general if you don't go to the battlefield?"
He had an immature face, but the veteran found that this kid was not joking.
The two looked at each other, and the first veteran patted Brother Fourteen on the shoulder so hard that he almost fell to the ground.
The fourteenth elder brother grinned and opened the big hands on his shoulders, but the veteran smiled and said: "You are young, you really have ambitions, my brother misjudged you, don't mind me! My surname is Li, and I call me old Lee will do."
After all, Elder Fourteen is indeed skinny and tender, and the clothes he wears can be seen to be deliberately leaning towards civilians, but they are still much better than ordinary fabrics, which shows that the family background is very good.
With his background, he might not have to worry about eating, drinking and having fun all his life, but he worked hard to learn martial arts at a young age, just to be able to fight the enemy and become a general in the future, not just talking about it.
A pampered person has calluses in his palms, which shows that Brother Fourteen has worked hard enough to practice martial arts since he was a child.
Some of those who came to the barracks were fleeing, and had nowhere to go, their homes and family members were gone, and they simply came in to serve as soldiers alone, at least they could eat and clothe themselves warmly.
They hung their heads on their trousers to kill the enemy desperately, and they only wanted to survive on the battlefield, or to have a better life in the future.
One day has been going well, but the half-year-old who came to join them without hesitation made the veterans couldn't help feeling and admiring them, and quickly accepted the fourteenth brother.
The emperor looked at the letterheads delivered in the past few days, and stroked his beard in relief.
No matter how rough the fourteenth elder brother was in the palace, he was still his child after all, at least he didn't lose face in the barracks, and soon became one with the veterans!
Just looking carefully, the emperor felt a headache again.
The veterans are not from good backgrounds, so there are naturally many small bad things. Brother Fourteen has learned a little from getting along with them for a long time.
For example, the fourteenth elder brother has learned to swear, and he can still swear for a quarter of an hour without repeating a word!
The emperor wiped his face, why does this kid not learn from the good ones, but learns from the bad ones so quickly!
He was thinking about whether he should find a foster mother to correct him when Brother Fourteen came back, so as not to hurt his eyes and ears.
Over there, Li Dequan came to report: "Your Majesty, the fourth elder brother is asking to see you."
