Qing Dynasty through Sanfu Jin

The elder brother hesitated for a moment, he looked the third elder brother up and down, his face full of doubts, "Third brother, don't blame my brother for speaking badly, Mingzhu is not a young man, if there is no imperial decree to investigate him, Khan Ama knows, we both If you can't afford it, you will walk around. Your third child and I are not so good, so you are willing to be punished by Han Ama, right?"

"Tell me honestly, is this a game you set up with the crown prince? It's all fake Ling Pu's selling of officials and nobles. The purpose is to pull Mingzhu down?"

The more elder brother thinks about it, the more he feels that this is the case. Now that Mingzhu's power is growing and has seriously threatened the status of the prince, it is not impossible for the prince to take risks for himself.The third child and the prince have been wearing a pair of trousers since they were young, and only for the prince and the third child will they work so hard.

The elder brother's face of 'I see through you, you don't want to fool me' made the third elder brother so angry.

He said strangely: "Brother, why didn't I realize that you are so smart before?" He also deliberately plotted against the Pearl for the sake of the crown prince, so he is worthy of the Pearl?

He admitted that Mingzhu's power has developed to the point where it can compete with Suo'etu, but he didn't know that this was actually done by Khan Ama on purpose.

What the court pays attention to is not dominance but balance. Suo'etu has outstanding abilities, so naturally he needs someone who can compete with him.Otherwise, if there is a sound in the court, what do you want the emperor to do?

The emperor understands this truth, and perhaps the crown prince also understands it somewhat.If there is really only Suo'etu left in the court, then Suo'etu is not far from being killed by Khan Ama.

What exactly is the elder brother thinking in his head? Why does he think that pulling down the pearl is the meaning of the prince?

The elder brother snorted coldly: "Young son, you are so yin and yang, what's wrong? I hit the mark."

The third elder brother snorted softly: "Well, I count my troubles. Since the elder brother doesn't believe it, then forget it. Anyway, I was not the one who was tricked in the end."

The eldest elder brother thought that the third elder brother would continue to persuade, but he didn't know that the third elder brother gave up. He just sat there drinking tea and looked like he didn't care about everything.This time it was replaced by him not being careful.

Could it be that the third child still has something to say?

"No, third brother. Brother, I don't mean that." Seeing that third elder brother remained silent, he lost his temper completely, "Okay, okay, brother, I can't talk just now, third brother, don't be angry."

The third elder brother seemed to have forgiven him, and finally said: "Brother, Khan Ama said about Ling Pu and don't say anything for now. I treat you as my own brother, so I tell you, I don't want to see you being punished like before." Lie. Do you know how much risk I have taken to tell this? I am wholeheartedly for you, but you will doubt my intentions instead. If it were you, wouldn't you be sad?"

The elder brother had a guilty face, "Don't worry, third child, it's my brother who is wrong this time. My brother shouldn't doubt you, but Mingzhu..." He hesitated for a long time and still didn't believe that Mingzhu would do such a thing.

He admitted that Mingzhu's body must have been dirty all these years as an official, but it's not that inappropriate to such an extent.

The third elder brother saw that he was showing signs of loosening, and thought that there was a way.He continued: "Before Ling Pu's accident happened, the crown prince didn't believe it. What happened?"

"The end of the second brother is there. I don't want the elder brother to follow in his footsteps one day. I thought about it. If Mingzhu didn't do this, of course everyone is happy. Everyone is fine. What if he did?"

One sentence stopped the elder brother.

That's right, Mingzhu didn't do it, at worst he apologized in the future; if he did it without telling himself...

Seeing that the elder brother was thinking deeply, the third elder brother didn't say any more, he just said: "That's all I said, elder brother, please think carefully."

After reading so many history books, the third elder brother even has the truth that it is too much to go too far.Sometimes there are some things that you can get unexpected results by taking a step back.

The third elder brother drank tea quietly, waiting for the elder brother's answer.

I don't know how long it took, the elder brother gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I will believe you once, brother today."

If the third child has no selfish intentions and is purely for his own good, then no matter what the result is, he will recognize this younger brother.In the future, he will take good care of the third child and prevent anyone from bullying him.

If the third child was in cahoots with the prince and said these words just to set him up with Mingzhu, then don't blame him for being cruel in the future, he will definitely punish the third child to death and never stop.

The third elder brother finally showed a smiling face, he thought to himself that the elder brother is really a fool.The eldest brother can't even fight against him, so how can he fight against the carefully cultivated prince?Even if he can fight against the crown prince, how can he intimidate those courtiers?

"Since that's the case, it's inevitable that Ye Chang Meng has many dreams. Let's explore the Ming Mansion tonight?"

Eldest brother waved his hand, "You said you were smart, why are you so confused now? Isn't it just to go to Mingzhu's mansion to collect evidence, let's just go directly, why is there no need for night detective?" Night detective is not telling others that they has a problem.

Besides, his majestic elder brother can't do this kind of thing, if it gets out, how can he meet people.

The third elder brother is quite good-tempered after achieving the goal, he said: "Then what should the elder brother say? I will listen to the elder brother."

Eldest Brother looked proud, "Look at me." Then he called for the boy from Eldest Brother's Mansion who came with him, "You go to Mingzhu's Mansion and tell him that Master has something to do with him, so let him go to the eldest brother's mansion. Elder brother's mansion. Remember, if Mingzhu asks, you just say that I just came out of the third elder brother's mansion, and say that there is something about what he asked me to do, and tell him to hurry up."

Didn't Mingzhu ask him to inquire about Ling Pu with the third child?

After speaking, he kicked the servant, "Remember to be smart."

After the little servant left, the elder brother asked someone to go to the backyard to inform Da Fujin, and then greeted the third elder brother, and the two went to guard outside Mingzhu mansion together.It wasn't until it was confirmed that Ming Zhu had left with the servant, that he swaggered and took the third elder brother to Ming Mansion.

The concierge at Mingzhu's mansion knew Eldest Brother, he laughed and said, "Slave greets Eldest Brother, Eldest Brother, our master just went out and is not at the residence."

After saying this, he hesitated and said: "Brother, didn't our master be called by your people? Why..."

The elder brother waved his hand, "Oh, I didn't think it was inconvenient for my house, so I brought my third brother here. It's okay, Mingzhu will come back if I don't see me, I'll go in and wait for him for a while. "

He said he was going to go inside.

He is the elder brother of the emperor, even if the concierge feels that something is inappropriate, he dare not stop him.So the two went straight to Mingzhu's study in such a ostentatious manner.

Sitting boldly on the chair, looking at the young man who was following them, the elder brother became unhappy, "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and make tea for the grandfather, remember to make good tea. If you dare to take some inferior Pinfu Lord, be careful with your head."

It was the first time to use power to suppress people, and the elder brother thought it was not bad.

After the people left, the elder brother gave the people who followed them a wink and told them to stand guard at the door so that he could greet them if anyone came.

Afterwards, he said to the third elder brother: "Time is limited, let's hurry up, third child, let's talk about it first, if you find out that you are wrong this time, what will you do with me in the future?"

The third elder brother glanced at him, and said perfunctorily: "Okay." After finishing speaking, he looked at the study carefully, and after he finished looking, he closed his eyes, and the structure of this study repeatedly appeared in his mind.After deducing it several times, he had an idea in his mind, opened his eyes, went straight to the place he suspected and began to check.

After checking several places in a row, there was nothing abnormal, and the third elder brother was not discouraged, he was still searching one place after another.This time he finally noticed something unusual behind a pair of calligraphy and painting.

There is a hidden compartment behind the calligraphy and painting, take out the things in the hidden compartment, Brother San watched quietly.

Sensing the movement of the third elder brother, the eldest elder brother stopped rummaging around. He leaned over and praised: "Okay, third brother, what is this?"

Third elder brother looked up at him with pity in his eyes.He handed the things in his hand to the big brother, "Brother, let's see for yourself."

This secret cell is indeed some evidence of Mingzhu's violation of law, but it is not for selling official titles.

The eldest brother is old, and he has made military achievements in the army, and has won the support of many people. Mingzhu took the lead in supporting the eldest brother because of this and thought it would be profitable.

But the elder brother is the emperor after all, not everyone is qualified to meet, so those people set their sights on Mingzhu.They handed Mingzhu silver and asked Mingzhu for recommendation.Mingzhu also claims to be the leader of the "Big Brother Party", and these "Big Brother Party members" naturally want to respect him.

These include the filial money, lists, and letters.

He casually looked at some of them just now, and some of them were given to Mingzhu by name, but some of them were asked by Mingzhu to 'respect' elder brother.

I don't know what Mingzhu thought, but kept these things in their original form.

The reason why he was sympathetic was because after just a few cursory glances, he found that the money given to Mingzhu was much more than that given to elder brother.

What does this mean? It means that in the hearts of those people, Mingzhu is more important than Big Brother.

What a proud elder brother, I don't know if he can bear it.

After thinking so much in his heart, Brother San is not idle, time is precious, and he hasn't found what he wants yet.

But where is that?

If he was Mingzhu, where would he hide the evidence?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Master Nalan." It was Mingzhu's second son, Nalan Kui, who spoke.

The elder brother put things into his sleeves in a panic, and in front of the third elder brother was Mingzhu's office desk, so he simply sat on the chair in front of the desk.

In order to show his own casualness, when he sat down, his feet were crossed, and he felt that something was wrong with the crossing.When he put his heels down, he suddenly felt empty under his feet.

Brother San's eyes lit up, what is this?It really didn't take much effort to find nowhere after breaking through the iron shoes, and the hidden space he had worked so hard to find was actually here.

Seeing that Nalan Kuixu was about to reach the door, the third elder brother had an idea and kept the pen under the table, and then he quickly got down.

The elder brother guessed what he had found by looking at him, so he got up and walked to the door. "It's you, Mingzhu hasn't come back yet?"

Nalan Kuixu glanced into the room, and said doubtfully: "I have seen the elder brother. The slave heard that you and the third elder brother are here. Although my father is not there, the slave can't let the elder brothers wait, so the slave came here. Wait. By the way, where is the third elder brother?"

The elder brother's heart was pounding. From him, he could only see the third elder brother getting under the table and nothing else. He pointed there and said, "Here, isn't that there?"

Nalan Kui said: "This is the third brother?" It's really unheard of for the emperor to get under the table.

The elder brother was at a loss for words, but luckily the third elder brother had come out at this time, he held a pen in his hand and said, "Young Master Nalan, I am laughing at you. I have heard for a long time that Lord Ming has countless books among polymaths. Overjoyed, I couldn't help itching and wanted to write something. No, I accidentally dropped the pen on the ground."

As he spoke, he held up the pen in his hand to show Nalan Kuixu, only to see some dust on the ink on the pen in his hand.

Nalan Kui said suddenly: "So it is."

It has long been heard that the third elder brother is obsessed with books, but now it seems to be true.His Ama's study not only has a lot of unique copies, but also his brother's posthumous works. His brother's talent is praised even by the emperor, so it's not surprising that the third elder brother is fascinated.

The third elder brother looked up at the sky, "It's getting late, brother, I really have something urgent, why don't you stay and wait for Master Ming, I'll go back first."

He didn't dare to wink at his eldest brother in front of Nalan Kuixu, and he didn't know if his elder brother could understand what he said.

Big brother slapped his head, "Look at me, what, I'll go back first too. I thought Mingzhu would definitely come back when I'm not around, but when I saw you, I suddenly thought, what if he thinks of a place with me in Brother's mansion Waiting for me? Then we can't wait for each other even if it's dark, so I'd better go back and find him. If Mingzhu comes back later, remember to tell him, I'll wait for him in the mansion, nowhere Not going. It will save us running around and missing it.”

Without giving Nalan Kuixu a chance to speak, the elder brother greeted the third elder brother and went out.

As soon as they turned out of this street, they saw Ming Zhu's carriage coming back from a distance.The elder brother wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's dangerous, how about third brother, what did you find?"

Brother San took out the things in his sleeves and shook his head, "I only found something under the table, but I haven't had time to see what it is, but it must be very important to keep the pearl so secret."

The things under the table were also packed in a box. The third elder brother was worried that the box would be found if it was not easy to handle, so he only took the paper inside.Now he opened the paper in front of Big Brother, and the two of them read it together.

Seeing this, Eldest Brother couldn't hold back any longer, and cursed angrily: "Damn it, Mingzhu, this old thing really dies ten thousand times, it really wouldn't be a pity."

As the third elder brother guessed, Mingzhu is indeed engaged in the business of selling officials and nobles. Compared with Ling Pu's small fights, he is much more daring.

Most of the official positions that Ling Pu sells are external appointments, the highest is only from the fifth rank, and they are still empty positions.What Mingzhu sells are the real shortages that can make real benefits.And there were people in these positions that were really lacking, and Mingzhu took a fancy to it, so she planned to get the people down and replace them with her own people.

Among the official positions he sold, most of them were from other provinces, but the official positions were quite high.The highest one is the third-rank general, not just one. !
