After the fourth master and I wear each other [Qing wear]

Yinzhen wanted to ask the fourth brother why he pretended to be him?

There must be something wrong, if you are a good brother, come and listen, and share the thrilling things.

Before it was too late to start, I saw Suo'etu coming towards the small courtyard from a distance.

Now, Yinzhen lost the interest to ask questions, and even faintly felt that the situation was not good.

Khan Ama called Suo'etu to the south of the Yangtze River to serve the prince. It would not be surprising if Suo'etu was summoned alone, but why did all the brothers come?

Wu Fuyi heard footsteps coming from a distance, so he didn't have to turn back as if he didn't hear it, and walked straight through the door of the study.Passing by Yinzhen's side, he only left four words in a low voice. "Silence is gold."

Yinzhen:?

Fourth brother, can you not be afraid of words like gold, and give more hints if you want to.Is this telling him not to express his opinion for a while?Anyway, tell me why.

In front of Kangxi's study, it is not a good place to talk.

Wu Fuyi and Yinyu entered the door one after the other, and Cao Yin and I had already arrived when they saw Yinti, Yinhu, and Yinyu.

Suo'etu was the only one who was summoned.

Kangxi didn't change his face when he saw this, and his mood became even worse.

If the fourth child is late, it is justifiable, just let him go back to wash and take care of himself.Unexpectedly, when the fourth child arrived, Suo'etu was still a step behind.

"Slave pays respects to the emperor."

Suo'etu entered, looking disheartened.In the middle of talking with the prince, before he could ask about the prince's condition, he listened to Liang Jiugong to pass the decree.

It would be really unintentional to be late.

He is also 66 years old and came to Jiangning after running for four days.I couldn't even take a breath, and I couldn't walk as fast as I wanted.

Suo'etu knelt down and begged for Ann. He thought he would hear the emperor shouting soon, but unexpectedly the room was quiet.

It was so quiet that it seemed to be filled with a breath of death, and people couldn't help but thump in their hearts, realizing that the situation was weird.

Just now, Yinfeng clearly said that Kangxi took good care of him during this time.

The emperor didn't express any dissatisfaction, so what's going on now?

"Suoetu, you were born in the Hesheli family. I thought Sony taught you what it means to overstep."

Kangxi looked at Suo'etu condescendingly, his eyes were so calm that there was no trace of old affection left.

"Ride your horse to the other courtyard where the prince lives, and you still don't dismount when you pass the middle gate. Where have you learned the rules!" ①

Suo'etu's back stiffened, no one mentioned it for a long time, and he remembered it when he was asked.Riding a horse in front of the prince's gate is a crime worthy of death, because it is suspected of deliberately ramming the horse and murdering the prince.

But the rules are the rules, there are many things that don't follow the rules, not to mention how could he murder Yinfeng.

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, but the slave was in a daze for a moment. He was so concerned about the prince's illness and wanted to see the prince's well-being as soon as possible, that's why he broke the rules."

Suo'etu immediately defended himself, even he would never be able to bear the charge of treason.

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Kangxi with red eyes, as if he could immediately burst into tears to prove his innocence. "Your Majesty has learned from you that this servant has absolutely no intention of harming the Prince!"

Kangxi seemed to believe it, and on the surface his attitude softened to give Suo'etu a chance to prove himself.

"In terms of closeness, you are the prince's uncle. Rules are dead, people are alive, and I don't want to be unkind. Suo'etu, you said that you care about Yinfeng, so do you have any evidence?"

"The servant's concern for the prince can be learned from heaven and earth."

Suo'etu couldn't think of what is called empirical evidence for a moment. Isn't it enough for him to rush on the road non-stop at the age of 66? !

But now it seems that he wants physical evidence, he blurted out, "There is a lack of life-saving medicinal materials in the south of the Yangtze River, so the servant brought a box of top-quality ginseng."

When Wu Fuyi heard this, his downcast eyes immediately froze.Ginseng, ginseng again!

Suo'etu was summoned to the south of the Yangtze River by the urgent edict of Babaili, and he brought ginseng for the prince to use, which was very common.

However, the current situation is special.

A series of clues revealed the relationship between the smuggling rice seedlings involved in a huge amount of Japanese silver, and the instigator happened to be Suo'etu.

At this time, Kangxi asked if Suo'etu had any evidence that he cared about the prince, and Suo'etu didn't even want to mention ginseng.

It's a trap!

Wu Fuyi was very sure that Suo'etu was doomed today, and he jumped into the trap set by Kangxi unconsciously.

I heard Kangxi say, "Seeing is believing. Liang Jiugong, go get that box of ginseng."

Suo'etu's complexion was very bad. Does the emperor mean to suspect him of making up lies?He really brought ginseng, as he said earlier, no one in this world wants Yinfeng to live more than him.

Soon, Liang Jiugong fetched Suo'etu's bag and took out a sealed wooden box from it.

"This is it."

Suo'etu said affirmatively, "The servant has selected the best ginseng, please look over it to the emperor."

Kangxi signaled Liang Jiugong to check it out.

Liang Jiugong opened the box first, and a scent of ginseng was released instantly. At first glance, it smelled like a box of top-quality ginseng.

But if you look at it carefully, it makes your heart tremble.Although the appearance of the ginseng is similar, seasoned experts can tell at a glance that one of the five ginseng is not wild ginseng.

"Long live lord..."

Liang Jiugong presented the wooden box to Kangxi, but he couldn't speak the second half of the sentence quickly.

Suo'etu vowed to bring life-sustaining medicinal materials to the prince, but one of them turned out to be a ginseng.

Is this deliberately belittling the prince?

Liang Jiugong actually didn't believe that Suo Xiang would neglect the prince in such a matter, Suo Xiang should hope that the prince can live well.

Right now, the impossible has already happened.He felt that what he held in his hand was not ginseng, but a bomb.Do you have to ask who planned this trap!

Kangxi glanced at Liang Jiugong lightly, "What's the matter, you can't see the good or the bad?"

Liang Jiugong quickly stabilized his mind, no matter what the relationship between Suo'etu and the prince was, today the king and minister had to die.

"Going back to Lord Long Live, the slave saw that one of them should not be wild ginseng, but an artificially transplanted seedling ginseng. In terms of medicinal effect, it cannot be compared with wild wild ginseng. If it is used wrongly, it may delay the illness due to insufficient medicinal power."

As soon as the words fell, the room was silent.

impossible!

Three words popped up in Yinti's mind.

Although he has been at odds with the prince for a long time, and he is even more incompatible with Suo'etu, but he does not believe that Suo'etu will make mistakes in matters that matter to the prince's life.

Yinti looked straight at Suo'etu.I thought he would have the same reaction as himself, and complained without thinking.

Unexpectedly, Suo'etu's subconscious reaction was not being wronged, but panic and astonishment. It was like being pecked by geese after hunting geese all day long.

When Suo'etu heard the word ginseng, his first reaction was to pretend to be wrong.

Because he was in a hurry, he ordered his attendants to fetch ginseng when he left the capital.In a hurry, he only glanced at the ginseng, but didn't take a closer look.

Besides, ten days ago, five sample seedlings were transported from the northeast to Suofu.Let him have a look at the newly dug up ginseng samples this year to determine whether they meet the standards and continue to do business with Dongying.

Right now, a young ginseng has been mixed into the top-quality wild ginseng, and it should be that the sample of young ginseng was taken by mistake.

Suo'etu failed to call out the impossibility at the first time, because he knew that there were indeed ginseng in Suo's mansion.

But I immediately realized, why did the sample ginseng appear in the medicinal materials given to Yinreng?But he was bumped into by the emperor.

There is no such a coincidence in the world, this is a trap to invite you into the urn.

"Your Majesty, this is someone trying to frame this slave. I deliberately put ginseng among wild ginseng, and this slave didn't know about it!"

Suo'etu definitely couldn't admit it.Even though he has realized that [-]% of the interlocking traps are planned by Kangxi, he can't just admit it.Once he admits it, he admits that he has the intention of murdering the prince.

Suo'etu kowtowed, begging Kangxi to give him another chance, but the moment he raised his eyes, it was like falling into an ice cave.At this time, after knowing it, I finally understood Kangxi's expression, which was a strange yet familiar look.

Thirty-three years ago, the emperor looked at Obai, who was in power, in this way, and captured him and put him in prison unexpectedly.

Suo'etu was stunned for a moment.

Back then, when I learned that Kangxi had the idea of ​​taking down Oboi in one fell swoop, I knew very well how dangerous that plan was.Aobai is brave and powerful, if he makes a careless move, he will die in hell.

He did not hesitate to resign from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, in order to protect Kangxi Zhouquan, he became a guard in the palace without hesitation.

Kangxi promised that when Obai was eradicated, he would not treat his loyal ministers badly.

Later, the plan was successful.

Obai was captured, and the emperor kept his promise. For 33 years, the Hesheli family has been favored continuously.

However, this moment, that moment.

Suo'etu didn't know when it changed. He no longer put his allegiance to Kangxi first, and hoped that the prince would succeed to the throne sooner.

Compared with Kangxi, who is getting more and more sophisticated, Yinfeng will obviously rely on him more and value the Hesheli family more.

Today, the emperor looked at him as if he was looking at Oboi.

Those sophistry words got stuck in his throat, this result was not expected, but very reasonable.

Kangxi saw that Suo'etu's face changed again and again, but his heart was calm, and he didn't care whether this guy regretted it or not.

Over the past 20 years or so, Suo'etu has been given countless opportunities to reform himself, but the love between the monarch and his ministers has long been exhausted by Suo'etu.

Governing the country is not easy, has Suo'etu considered it for him?How did you give Suo'etu the power to be an extremely human minister in return?The most intolerable thing is that the existence of Suo'etu made his relationship with the prince even more distant.

"Suo'etu, you should be very clear. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, strict rules for picking and selling ginseng have been formulated. Picking wild ginseng must have an approval ticket issued by the imperial court, and cultivation of garden ginseng and seedling ginseng must be reported for approval. Shoddy is allowed."

Kangxi pointed to the wooden box, "With your ability, if you look at this box of ginseng carefully, you shouldn't be able to see that a seedling ginseng was mixed in. You said that you rode in front of the prince's door because you were worried about the prince's illness. It’s disrespectful to be so careless.”

Kangxi directly determined the nature of this matter. This time he summoned Suo'etu to Jiangnan, he didn't want him to return to Beijing smoothly.

"You said someone was framed, but this ginseng was taken from the Hesheli family. How could the Hesheli family have young ginseng? Can't afford wild ginseng?"

Suo'etu came back from the daze, even though he understood that the emperor was determined to punish him, it was impossible to just admit it.

Even if he is regarded as Oboi at this moment, it is not completely lifeless.As long as it is delayed for a while, the prince will come to intercede.

"Young ginseng should be hidden by the servants of the family and brought into the mansion."

Suo'etu never mentioned private ginseng.Planting a large number of seedlings and ginseng, smuggling Dongying in exchange for huge amounts of silver, he thought he did it secretly.

Even if the emperor finds out that he plans to privately grow ginseng, he should not be sure how to ship it.Across the sea, I haven't heard of any ships going to Dongying to investigate the case.

Kangxi looked at Suo'etu, he couldn't cry without seeing the coffin.

At the end of the first month of this year, a merchant from the south came to Beijing.When selling seedling ginseng as wild ginseng to a medicine store in Beijing, it was rejected. After knowing it, I realized that I was cheated when I received the goods.

The seller’s so-called urgent need for money will sell wild ginseng at a discount, but in fact they are selling fake ginseng, deceiving southern businessmen who are not often exposed to Northeast ginseng.

Kangxi became vigilant immediately after learning of the incident.Not just anyone can grow ginseng. Compared with planting ginseng directly in the garden, transplanting ginseng from the wild must have enough picking experience.

The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by ant nests. Wild ginseng was one of the important sources of finance for the imperial court. It was necessary to find out where the batch of seedling ginseng came from.

The investigation was unexpected, and the speed of the investigation was much slower than expected.

It was impossible to find out who sold the fake wild ginseng to the southern businessman. The seller seemed to disappear in the crowd, and the relevant household registration certificates and road guide certificates were all fake.

Although the counterfeiting has been repeatedly banned, every step of the counterfeiting is perfect, which shows that the problem is very serious.

The behind-the-scenes messenger is quite powerful, otherwise it would not be possible to arrange everything.After four full months of investigation, it was also due to luck that the southern businessman ran into a liar again.

This time, the spies followed the vines to find Shengjing, and finally found out that the matter of Yangshen was manipulated by Al Jishan, Suo'etu's son.

The news was passed to the emperor on the southern tour.

After Kangxi heard the news, he was completely disappointed with Suo'etu and no longer had the slightest feeling for him.

Hesheli's family is not short of money, and he would not disapprove of planting ginseng on the bright side, so why make a large number of young ginseng in private?

The answer is self-evident.

Shoddy, can get huge profits.Suo'etu needs a large amount of shady money so that he can form a party for personal gain and weave a big net of officials and officials protecting each other.

What is this trying to do? !

Kangxi asked himself if he had given Suo'etu enough rights, enough forgiveness and freedom, but his greed would never end.

Does Suoxiang and his party want to completely depose the emperor?Do you want him to step down as soon as possible and help the prince to take over for better control?

That being the case, let Suo Xiang disappear completely.

Kangxi originally wanted to complete all the evidence chains before sending people to Zhao Prison, but the more he endured, the more he refused to endure.

To punish Suo Ertu for the capital crime, just pick one of his disrespectful acts.Over the years, he has become accustomed to it, and his disrespectful behavior has long been countless.

It is better to hit the sun than to choose the day, and I chose the time when Yinfeng was ill.

Facts have proved that this vigorous and resolute action is necessary.

Let the fourth child go out for a walk alone, and there will be extra gains.

The strange incident of Dongying ghost ship discovered by the fourth child made up the last link in the process of Suo'etu's crime. He knew where all the ginseng was sold.

Sell ​​it to Japan to extract a lot of silver.

It's hard for Suo'etu to put his heart into it. The transaction and payment do not take the same route. It's really beautiful to hide people's eyes and ears.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, smuggling private ginseng was used to obtain military expenses for Houjin. This method made him learn everything, and make new ones.

When Kangxi thought that ginseng was being sold to foreign countries privately, he immediately made a decision.Even if Yinreng's biological mother Hesheli came back from the dead, he would not show any more kindness to the Hesheli family.

A few years ago, when Suo'etu went to negotiate with Tsarist Russia, he was not satisfied with the treaty. He felt that Suo'etu was not tough enough to earn more land.

Due to the fact that the San Francisco Rebellion had just ended at that time, it was necessary to recuperate and refrain from militarism, so it reluctantly approved the territorial division.

There was no accountability in the past, but today Suo'etu actually sells ginseng to Dongying privately to make money.

To put it lightly, this is lawlessness, and to say it seriously, it is to communicate with foreign countries.Selling ginseng for money today, what about tomorrow? !

Suo'etu must not stay with the prince.

Otherwise, Yinreng is not only arrogant and extravagant, but also suspected of subjugation.

"In the northwest of Shengjing, the villagers of Wawa Village participated in the planting of young ginseng. Arjishan was responsible for transplanting the cultivated young ginseng to the nearby contiguous forest."

Kangxi said that he slammed a booklet on Suo'etu's face.

"There are all the witnesses and evidence of this matter, why do you have the face to shamelessly say that you don't know where the ginseng came from! Al Jishan is doing things, will he tell you that this is Ama?"

When Suo'etu heard the place name Wawa Village, his hands trembled unavoidably.

Opening the booklet, he was dizzy from reading the lines in it.The emperor didn't lie to him, but he really found out where the ginseng was raised.

Kangxi didn't look at Suo'etu's hunched back, but turned his attention to the other people present.

"Ginseng is one of the sources of wealth for the Qing Dynasty. Whoever dares to act recklessly will undoubtedly destroy the foundation of the Qing Dynasty in disguise. Suo'etu's crimes are too numerous to record. According to reliable sources, the ginseng he planted is suspected of being shipped to Japan for huge profits. Tell me about yours." Thoughts, who is going to check things out?"

Go and search for the map.

This question has been thrown out, but there is a deeper meaning to think about.After moving Suo'etu, what about the prince he fully supports?Suo'etu used unfavorable means to collect money, where did the money go?How to check the money given to the prince?

At this time, Yinzhen finally realized why the fourth brother just taught him that silence is golden.

Suo'etu's matter involved too much, and a thorough investigation had to be prepared to offend the prince to death.

Kangxi punished the prince in anger, but who knows what will happen after a while?

For 28 years, Kangxi loved the prince for too long, and his preference for Yinfeng surpassed all other princes.

Yinzhen pondered, right now there is no need to fight the prince to the end.

Taking a sneak peek, the fourth brother didn't make a sound, which means he didn't want to touch his hands.If the fourth brother doesn't move, he won't move.

It's not cowardice, but the shrewdness of a businessman.

Yinzhen has his own set of judgments.

The fourth brother pretended to be the younger brother to meet the leader of the boat gang. He was brave enough and thoughtful enough, so he didn't take the initiative to investigate Suo'etu, saying that the water was deep enough, so don't touch it.

Yinzhen didn't speak, but some people did.

King Zhijun was the first to express his opinion, "Although I am not good at checking accounts, I hope to share the worries of Khan Ama and thoroughly investigate the smuggling of seedlings and ginseng."

With the beginning of Yinti, Yinhu thought about it and followed, "My son is willing to help elder brother check various accounts. In this matter, the ninth brother can also help. The ninth brother is good at calculating accounts."

Whoops!

Mynah, why do you imitate mynah's bird call!You really can't talk nonsense.Look at the fourth brother, can't you learn that precious quiet quality?

Yinzhen groaned inwardly, he really didn't want to get involved.

Khan Ama has always disliked him doing business, if he slapped the prince in the face severely in this respect, whose face would be more painful in the end?He didn't dare to compare favor with the prince.

"Khan Ama, I'm afraid my son is not suitable."

Yinzhen made a quick and wise self-defense, "You know that I have done a lot of business in the south of the Yangtze River. Maybe some of the sinners who sell ginseng have business partners related to me. I should avoid suspicion when investigating the case."

Kangxi was a little surprised by Yinzhen's self-deprecation, and took a deep look at him.It's rare that this kid can finally clear his mind and realize that not everything can be involved.

He didn't show anything on his face, and turned to look at the fourth child.After hearing the attack on Suo'etu, did the fourth child change his mind? "Fourth, what do you think? Who is more appropriate to investigate."

"Huihan Ama's words, I think Chen Pengnian is suitable."

Wu Fuyi never changed his mind, and there were very good reasons.

"The money transported by the Dongying ship must go through the Jiang Customs and Zhejiang Customs. If you want to find out about this matter, it is more appropriate to find an official who is proficient in Jiangnan political affairs and waterways. Chen Pengnian is impartial and selfless, and he can take on this role."

The reasons don't stop there.

Wu Fuyi watched Kangxi set up a noose map, and saw the emperor's scheming and determination. He was determined to completely abolish the rope map, which was even more ruthless than when he dealt with Oboi back then.

At the beginning, when Kangxi ascended the throne at a young age, he was hijacked by Aobai, and he had no deep affection for Aobai.

As for Suo'etu and Hesheli's family, Jia En has been more than 30 years old, and there should have been a time when he sincerely hoped that the monarch and his ministers would get along with each other for a lifetime.

If there is hope, there will be deeper hatred, not to mention that there is Yinfeng in it.The more the prince leaned towards Suo'etu, the more Kangxi hated Suo'etu.

Therefore, neither public nor private should get involved in the final investigation of this case.

Wu Fuyi actually followed Yinzhen's words, "Ninth Brother's statement of avoiding suspicion is quite reasonable. The investigation should avoid stakeholders and those with close relationships.

After all, Suo'etu is the prince's grandfather.I waited for my brother to investigate Suo'etu, which would hurt the relationship with the prince.The son-in-law is also afraid that the brothers will do things for personal gain, so it is better to hand it over to the foreign minister. "

Who the hell has a deep relationship with the prince!

Yinti grasped the main point of the fourth story, and almost swears regardless of whether he missed the point or not.

How could he favor the prince. "Fourth brother, you worry too much. At this time, I will act impartially."

Wu Fuyi did not compete with King Zhijun.In terms of notarization, she dared to say that it was more notarized than everyone present.

Will this be a notarized thing!Yinti still didn't understand, no matter how hard he tried, in Kangxi's heart he just couldn't surpass the prince.This can't be surpassed, it's a lifetime thing.

People's hearts are biased.

Some things are doomed from birth, whoever makes Queen Hesheli give birth to Yinfeng will die.

For such a reason, Yinti should be allowed to make a choice.One of the reasons why he wants to be favored by the emperor all his life is that he was born without his mother, so he probably won't be able to let it go.

If Kangxi was not still unwilling to hurt the prince, Yinfeng should have been present to express his opinion, but he was not allowed to come.

Today, the emperor identified Suo'etu as the culprit.Get rid of him, and the prince can become the most ideal prince again.

Wu Fuyi made his statement anyway, all the princes should not be in charge of the investigation, just to prevent the brothers from fighting against each other.

You can fight at ordinary times, but you can't criticize each other excessively. Once this opening is opened, it is difficult to turn back.This is for the good of Kangxi, but also for the peace of the court.

Kangxi originally thought about asking the boss and the eighth to be in charge of the investigation, but the statement of the fourth made him hesitate.

He still hopes that the prince can get along well with his brothers. Perhaps this wish can be fulfilled without Suo'etu.

Now, it's two to two.

The boss and eighth are willing to take charge of the investigation, and the fourth and ninth think that suspicion should be avoided, so there is only one person left who did not speak.

Kangxi glanced at Old Ten seemingly indifferently.

Elder Brother Ten is hanging his head, and has been wandering away from the beginning to now.

How Suo'etu judged has nothing to do with him. Anyway, he is not good at checking accounts, and it is impossible to find him.

Yinzhen sensed that the pressure was on the side of the tenth brother.

However, the tenth brother stood behind him like a mass of air, making no sound at all.

How to do this?

At this moment, Yinzhen's sharp eyes saw the movements of the fourth brother diagonally opposite.I saw that the fourth brother's right foot took half a step back slightly.

Suddenly there was a flash of inspiration.That's right, the fourth brother just agreed with his statement of avoiding suspicion, and this half-step back is probably a serious reminder to him.

The next moment, Yinzhen pretended not to care, took a step back, and stomped on Lao Shi's right foot, although he didn't quite know why he stepped on Lao Ten.

"Ow—"

Yin Rong, I screamed out, "Ninth brother, why are you stepping on me!"

Wu Fuyi had a panoramic view of that scene.

Really want to help the forehead, what exactly is Yinzhen doing, is he here to be funny?This half-step back action is to let Lao Jiu find a retreat for Lao Ten.

Yinzhen's brain is not very flexible at ordinary times, why is it not enough at critical times.

He couldn't imitate Yinhu, say that the old ten should not be interested in investigating the case, and just let the ten elder brother go down the steps.What do you do when you step on someone's foot? !

The author has something to say: Elder Brother Shi’s name will be garbled when typed out, so it is written as [椻我]

------------

①Although there is no record of Suo'etu's ginseng case in history, there are clear records about his trespassing behavior.

Historically, during the 41st year of Kangxi's southern tour, the crown prince fell ill in Dezhou, Shandong.

Kangxi called Suo Ertu to come to serve the prince.When the prince recovered from his illness, Suo'etu was arrested and imprisoned in the clan mansion in 42.It mentioned that one of his counts was related to Texas sickness.

According to the "Drafts of Qing History", "the imperial edict said: The crown prince is in Dezhou, and you ride a horse to the middle gate and start down, that is to say, you are ready to die."Riding a horse in front of the prince's gate is a very obvious "overstepping" behavior, and it depends on whether the emperor punishes it or not.
