[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

The elder brother is still the noble king of Zhijun, but the emperor personally cut off the possibility of him inheriting the throne in front of all the ministers.

After the dynasty was over, the elder brother didn't even know how he left the palace.

The fourth elder brother looked at his brother's staggering back, feeling pity in his heart.Not only sympathize with elder brother, but also sympathize with himself.

Today is the elder brother, maybe tomorrow is me.

If you avoid the court battles and be a blind man with your eyes open, you may be able to spend your life in peace, but the fourth elder brother doesn't want to be mediocre for the rest of your life.

Even if he and big brother end up together in the future, he will go on.

The fourth elder brother glanced back at the majestic palace, turned around and strode away from the palace.

Although the emperor said that the elder brother was unbearable to be a prince, he still let the elder brother detain and depose the prince.Da Fujin's straight waist shrank back again, and the front of Zhijun Prince's Mansion also became deserted.

The elder brother felt uncomfortable, so he turned his head and sent the evil fire on the prince.He himself was wearing a thick jacket and a cloak, but he took away the cloak given to the deposed prince by the fourth elder brother.In addition, he also treated the deposed prince quite harshly in terms of diet.

Brother Jiu knew this very well, but he had a bad relationship with the deposed prince. Faced with what the eldest brother did, Brother Jiu just pretended not to see it.

According to the emperor's wishes, the elder brother, the fourth elder brother and the ninth elder brother took turns to guard the prince. The fourth elder brother rested for two days, and then it was time for the eldest elder brother to rest.

The fourth elder brother was not idle during the two days of rest. While collecting evidence to exonerate the thirteenth elder brother, he was discussing with his staff how to respond to the emperor.

When the vacation was over, the fourth elder brother went back to replace the eldest elder brother. As soon as the eldest elder brother left, the guards came to report on the back, saying that the deposed prince wanted to see the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother was stunned for a moment, and immediately got up and went to the place where the deposed prince was being held.

The room where the deposed prince was imprisoned was extremely small and dark, and the sun outside was dazzling, but here there was only a gleam of light through two small windows the size of a palm.

There is no one to serve and serve here, it is already very good for the deposed prince to keep clean.Thick iron chains bound his hands and feet, and he hadn't shaved for a long time, and the stubble covered half of his face, making him even more downcast.

The fourth elder brother walked into the cell and saluted earnestly.

"Second brother."

The waste prince sat on the narrow wooden bed, he turned his head to look at the fourth elder brother, and chuckled lightly.

"Fourth brother, the second brother saw you right."

The fourth elder brother looked blankly at the abolished prince, not understanding what he meant.

"I have fallen to this level, only you are willing to salute respectfully when you see me, not for anything else, just because I am your second brother."

The fourth elder brother lowered his head, the emotion in his heart was not as big as a fingernail.He was thinking why the prince suddenly became emotional.

The crown prince is proud, not to mention the seriously ill eighteen elder brothers, even the eldest and fourth elder brothers have become county kings, and the crown prince has never looked down on them, let alone regarded them as brothers.Because he is a legitimate son, he is naturally nobler than their princes.

During the days of being imprisoned, the prince has not given in. The fourth elder brother did not understand his sudden sensibility, nor did he understand what he wanted to do.

The fourth elder brother pulled himself together and carefully considered his words.

"Second brother will always be my second brother. I still remember that when I first came out on business, it was my second brother who carefully guided me. The princess has been taking care of my Fujin all these years."

The waste prince smiled, "Fourth brother, help second brother once, and help second brother pass a message to Huang Ama."

The fourth elder brother clenched his fists, quickly weighing the pros and cons of helping the prince to spread the word in his mind.

"What does the second brother want to say to Huang Ama?" the fourth elder brother asked calmly.

The deposed prince sighed: "Apologize to Huang Ama for me. I know that I have committed a serious crime and failed Huang Ama's cultivation, but I have never had such a treasonous thought of harming Huang Ama. Please help my fourth brother. I convey."

The fourth elder brother didn't speak, he didn't dare to agree immediately.He offered to leave, but the crown prince understood his caution and didn't say anything.

The fourth elder brother was about to leave, when he saw the empty bed, the fourth elder brother was taken aback for a moment.

"Second brother, where's that cloak? Don't you like it?"

The waste prince sneered, "Nowadays, I am not qualified to pick and choose. That cloak was taken away by your good brother. He said that there are no outside things in the cell."

The fourth elder brother understood that the eldest elder brother was just taking advantage of the problem to deliberately vent his anger on the prince.

He saluted and left, watching the guards lock the cell before going back.

The fourth elder brother and the ninth elder brother stayed in a very simple room, but there were hot tea, hot water and a brazier, and they would never be wronged.

The ninth elder brother saw that the fourth elder brother came back, and asked curiously: "Fourth elder brother, what did you ask you to do?"

The fourth elder brother glanced at him, "The one wanted me to pass on a message, he said that he never had the idea of ​​murdering the emperor."

Brother Nine blinked and smiled meaningfully, "Oh! That one can't sit still at last!"

Ninth elder brother grinningly approached fourth elder brother and said, "Fourth elder brother, my younger brother advises you, don't mind your own business! Our good second elder brother has fallen, Huang Ama hates him, and it's no good for you to help him."

"It's just a sentence..." the fourth elder brother said hesitantly.

"Fourth brother's thinking is too simple, this is not a matter of one sentence! You are kind enough to help the prince pass a word, if Huang Ama thinks you are part of the prince's party, what will you do?"

Now everyone is busy adding insult to injury, who cares if the deposed prince lives or dies?

The fourth elder brother walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. He let out a long sigh, as if he had made up his mind.

He said to Brother Nine: "Second brother begged me this time, but I still can't bear it. I'll write a note to convey the words of second brother truthfully, and then ask the emperor to make a decision. Ninth brother, when I finish writing the note, what do you want? Don't sign it?"

Ninth elder brother didn't expect fourth elder brother to get involved with himself.

"Fourth brother, you are going to play the emperor, why should I sign it?"

The fourth elder brother said: "It's not just you, I also want to ask the elder brother's meaning. After all, the three of us are guarding the one together, and I am the only one who plays. What will the emperor think of you and the elder brother?"

This is also reasonable, no matter whether they want to sign the memorial or not, the fourth elder brother should inform them before the memorial.

Brother Nine thought to himself that he supported Brother Eight to be the prince, and he didn't care whether the emperor liked him or not.For him, it doesn't matter whether he signs or not.That being the case, let's sign it!It can also be regarded as a face for the fourth elder brother!

"Okay! Fourth brother, for the sake of you and fourth sister-in-law, I will also sign it. This... I will trouble fourth brother for writing the memorial! You also know that my younger brother is so talented, hahaha!" Jiu Elder Brother smiled generously.

The fourth elder brother also smiled at him, but he was extremely disgusted in his heart.

The playbook was written soon, and the fourth elder brother went straight to the Zhijun Prince's Mansion and showed it to the eldest elder brother in person.

"Brother, the emperor asked the three of us to guard the abandoned prince, which shows that the three of us are the most trusted people of the emperor. Now that the abandoned prince has something he wants to hear from God, I dare not conceal it."

The elder brother looked through the memorial, and the elder brother read the words about abolishing the prince several times.

"Oh! This is clearly an excuse he wants to get rid of. Do you believe this kind of lie? If you bring such a memorial to Huang Ama, isn't it sincerely making Huang Ama feel uncomfortable?"

"The truth of the second prince's words is up to the emperor to distinguish, big brother, we just need to report the prince's words and deeds."

The eldest elder brother said angrily: "I was there when the crown prince was abolished. The crown prince spied on the emperor with ulterior motives. What do you know! I don't need the emperor to make a decision, I can tell the truth from the fake!"

The eldest elder brother scolded the fourth elder brother, and finally threw him out of the house.

The fourth elder brother was so angry that his head was dizzy, but he had no choice but to keep this matter in his heart viciously.

The fourth elder brother handed over the memorial, and soon the emperor called him into the palace.

In the emperor's study room, he was sitting at the table writing, while the fourth elder brother was standing at the table grinding ink for the emperor.

"Tell me about it in detail, what did he tell you at the time?"

The fourth elder brother understood who the emperor said he was, and he recounted the conversation between himself and the deposed prince, in a straightforward manner without any embellishment.

The emperor stopped writing and glanced at him, then nodded with satisfaction, the fourth elder brother was honest, he didn't exaggerate for the deposed prince, and he didn't belittle the deposed prince.

Now that the crown prince has fallen, the hearts of the princes are not stable. It is very rare to be able to do what the fourth elder brother is like.

The emperor asked: "Do you think, how much is true and how much is false in his words?"

The fourth elder brother shook his head, "I haven't had much contact with him in recent years. My son also heard what happened outside the Great Wall, so I dare not speak nonsense."

This answer is very cautious, so that people can't make mistakes.

The emperor picked up the pen and continued to write. After a long while, he waved his hand and told the fourth elder brother to leave.

The fourth elder brother didn't expect the emperor to call him into the palace, and only said these two sentences.He hurriedly knelt on the ground and mentioned the matter of Brother Thirteen.

"My son has one more thing to tell Huang Ama boldly."

The emperor asked him, "What's the matter?"

The fourth elder brother said: "It's about Thirteenth Brother, my son doesn't know what mistake Thirteenth Brother made, but my son knows that if he didn't make a big mistake, Huang Ama wouldn't lock him up.

But the son also trusted Thirteenth Brother's behavior. He respected and loved Huang Ama, and never had any treasonous thoughts. If he had other thoughts, his son would definitely be able to sense it when he was so close to him.

Huang Ama, I think there must be a misunderstanding between you and Thirteenth Brother.Two days ago, my son, Xiu Mu, specially sent someone to investigate.

At that time Thirteenth Brother was wandering outside your residence, the guard reminded him to stay away, Thirteenth Brother said that he made you angry, he had to think about how to apologize and admit his mistake, and then he was arrested. "

The fourth elder brother looked up at the emperor cautiously, "Huang Ama, can you please check the matter of the thirteenth brother?"

The emperor said ambiguously: "You really love my brother."

The fourth elder brother quickly kowtowed to the ground.

The study was extremely quiet, the fourth elder brother was lying on the ground, the carpet pattern in front of him made him dizzy, he could only hear the sound of his own breathing.

The fourth elder brother's forehead was covered with sweat, he moved slightly, put his forehead on the cuff, and secretly wiped off the sweat from his forehead.

After a while, the emperor let him get up.

"Did you rest for two days or three days, what did you find out?"

The fourth elder brother replied: "Except for the guards and the thirteenth brother, my son didn't find anything else. Besides, my son didn't dare to check about your residence."

"Hmph, you only found a few words of dialogue, and you dare to come to guarantee the old thirteen?"

The fourth elder brother bent even lower.

The emperor said: "You don't need to investigate. I have already investigated the matter of the old thirteen. It is true that I misunderstood him. I originally planned to release him in these two days."

Before the emperor gave an order, the fourth elder brother came first.

The emperor put down his pen, got up and stood in front of the window, opened the window and looked out.

The cold wind blew in, and the fourth elder brother thought for a while and persuaded: "Huang Ama, it's windy outside, so don't stand in the wind."

The emperor said: "Outside the Great Wall, the second elder brother contradicted me, and the old thirteen only focused on helping the second elder brother, which made me very disappointed. Afterwards, the crown prince was spying outside, and the old thirteen was also going around outside, so I Suspicious."

The emperor sighed: "I'm worried, I'm worried that my son will harm me!"

The fourth elder brother didn't expect the emperor to say such words to him, so he quickly expressed his loyalty.

"Huang Ama, we are your sons, how could we do such a thing that is inferior to animals? I think that although the second elder brother is in every possible way, he would never dare to do such a thing, and the thirteenth brother is even more impossible. !"

The emperor knew in his heart that Si elder brother's words were just deceiving people.In the face of interests, what is the relationship between father and son?

However, the emperor likes Si elder brother's 'innocence' very much.

All his sons are very capable, but now the emperor only wants a kind and humane son.

The emperor smiled and praised the fourth elder brother, "No wonder you can raise such a caring child as Xiaobao. You look cold, but your heart is really warm."

The fourth elder brother pursed his lips and smiled, as if a little shy and embarrassed.

The emperor turned around and went back to the table to sit down, spread the paper again and wrote a decree.

"Take it! Go and release the old thirteen, he has suffered a lot these days."

The fourth elder brother was overjoyed, kowtowed to thank him with the imperial decree, and left the palace.

After the fourth elder brother left, the emperor asked the eunuch beside him, "The king of Yongjun's symphony helped the second prince pass the message, and the ninth elder brother also signed it. Does the king of Zhijun know about this?"

The eunuch replied: "The king of Yongjun once went to the mansion of the king of Zhijun, but was kicked out by the king of Zhijun."

The emperor nodded, indicating that he understood everything.He picked up his pen and continued to write without expressing his opinion.

The eunuch retreated quietly, feeling that the emperor has become increasingly elusive recently.

The fourth elder brother took the decree and returned to the place where the deposed prince and the thirteenth elder brother were imprisoned. The ninth elder brother read the imperial edict written by the emperor himself, and hurriedly went to pick up the thirteenth elder brother.

The two of them came to the thirteenth elder brother's cell, and the thirteenth elder brother shrank in the cloak that the fourth elder brother gave him, looking dumbfounded.

Brother Nine rushed over and said with a smile: "Old Thirteen, you are so lucky! Fourth Brother went to the palace to meet the Emperor, and asked for an imperial edict of pardon for you."

Brother Thirteen jumped up, "Really? Can I go out now?"

The fourth elder brother nodded excitedly, "Yes! You can come out now! Let's go, I'll take you back!"

Brother Nine smiled and said: "I have to stay here, I can't send you off. You go with fourth brother! I will hold a banquet another day to celebrate your release from prison!"

The thirteenth elder brother cupped his fists to thank him, and happily followed the fourth elder brother out of the cage.

Sitting in the carriage, the thirteenth elder brother shrank back with a cloak around him, trying not to touch the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother scolded: "Look at how promising you are, why did you shrink back after being locked up there for a few days?"

Elder Brother Thirteen smiled wryly, "My body is dirty, maybe there are lice! I dare not get too close to Fourth Brother, lest the lice crawl on you."

The fourth elder brother shook his head and sighed softly, "I'm sorry for you."

The thirteenth elder brother almost burst into tears, "Oh, it's okay to suffer. I'm a big man, so it's nothing to suffer. I'm just disappointed. I was imprisoned by the emperor for no reason."

He looked at the fourth elder brother, his eyes full of apology.

"I also failed the advice of my sister-in-law and fourth brother. You repeatedly told me to be careful, but in the end..."

The fourth elder brother hurriedly said: "This is an innocent disaster, just pass this hurdle and it will be fine."

Brother Thirteen turned his head to the side and blinked his eyes, fearing that tears would fall.

After calming down, Brother Thirteen asked, "Fourth Brother, how did you rescue me? The Emperor didn't blame you, did he?"

"No, the emperor is quite easy to talk to."

The fourth elder brother briefly explained what happened, so that the thirteenth elder brother would not be worried all the time.

Brother Thirteen curled his lips, it seemed that he still had a lot of complaints about the emperor in his heart.

"The emperor is an old man whose power is unpredictable. He is good for a while, and bad for a while. No one can know his pulse."

The fourth elder brother scolded: "Shut up! After this incident, you still don't know how to be cautious in your words and deeds!"

The thirteenth elder brother bowed his head sullenly, and the fourth elder brother persuaded earnestly: "If you still want to have a peaceful life, you can't blame the emperor!"

The fourth elder brother opened the curtain of the car and looked out, "Time is running out, I will send you home, and I have to go back to see the prince. You remember, go back and take a bath, and settle down in the mansion. Tomorrow, I will hand it over to the palace. Sign, plead guilty to the emperor.

Remember, pleading guilty must be sincere.The emperor can't make mistakes, only we can make mistakes! "

The fourth elder brother taught the thirteenth elder brother how to plead guilty, and when the carriage arrived at the thirteenth elder brother's mansion, the fourth elder brother had finished speaking.

"You listen to me and apologize to the emperor obediently. You don't have to think about yourself, you have to think about your wife and children. The tenth princess is about to leave the cabinet, and she is still waiting for you to marry her!"

The thirteenth elder brother nodded obediently, and the fourth elder brother left him at the gate of the mansion and went back.

Thirteenth elder brother returned to the mansion, Thirteen Fujin finally felt relieved.

The next day, the thirteenth elder brother tidied up and handed over a sign to the palace, pleading guilty to the emperor.

The emperor quickly summoned the thirteenth elder brother. It is said that the thirteenth elder brother said that he acted carelessly, which caused Huang Ama to misunderstand.He knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, telling his uneasy feelings when he was locked up in the prison.

Seeing such a big son crying and crying, the emperor felt very sad.Before he saw Elder Thirteen, he was worried that there would be a rift between his son and himself. Seeing Elder Thirteen crying pitifully, looking like he was afraid of being abandoned, the emperor began to feel sorry for his son again.

Coming out of the palace, Brother Thirteen brought back many rewards.

In the afternoon, Elder Thirteen asked Fujin to visit Shuwan with a gift as a token of gratitude.

Thirteen Fujin saw Shuwan tearing up excitedly, she took Shuwan's hand and said, "Thank you Sisao! If there is no Sisao, our family will be ruined."

Shuwan smiled and said: "How could it be as serious as you said? This is the thirteenth elder brother who has suffered so much! I heard that there are always many ups and downs in a person's life. After the thirteenth elder brother passes this hurdle, everything will be smooth in the future. "

Thirteenth Fujin sighed: "Then let the fourth sister-in-law give me a good word!"

Shuwan pulled her into the room to sit, and Thirteenth Fujin said: "Originally Brother Thirteen wanted to come over with me to thank you, but Fourth Brother is not at home, and it is inconvenient for Fourth Sister-in-law to receive him when he comes, so I let him stay at home." Don't blame the fourth sister-in-law for being rude."

Shuwan hurriedly said: "We're all brothers from the same family, it's too natural for you to say that."

Thirteen Fujin smiled and said: "It's not me being polite, we keep the kindness of fourth brother and sister-in-law in our hearts, and we should show it with the attitude we should have.

Now who in the capital does not envy our elder brother, they all say that the thirteenth elder brother has a good brother, and the fourth brother is really loyal.If it weren't for the fourth brother, who would say a word for him in this court? "

As he spoke, Thirteen Fujin began to cry.

Shuwan only felt that her head was big and she didn't know how to coax her.

She handed Thirteen Fujin a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and water, fearing that Thirteen Fujin would cry and become thirsty.

After a while, Thirteen Fujin stopped her tears, and Shuwan hurriedly ordered someone to bring sweet soup and snacks.

Come to think of it, if Thirteen Fujin's mouth was blocked, she wouldn't have time to cry!

Thirteen Fujin thanked Shuwan here, and lived in the nearby Jiu Age's house, and Jiu Age was chatting with Jiu Fujin.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I heard that Thirteenth Fujin took a lot of expensive gifts to the fourth brother's house. Oh, what a big hand! If I had known, I would also follow the fourth brother to help the old thirteen to say a few words, and I can send it if I want to." A small fortune."

Jiufujin gave him a sneaky look, "Our family is so rich, do you still care about that idea?"

"Look at what you said, it's only fools who think they don't have enough money!"

Jiufujin is sober, and she speaks fairly.

"Many people feel that the thirteenth elder brother is a bit wronged by being locked up. How many people have spoken for the thirteenth elder brother? Not to mention others, even the natal family of the thirteen Fujin hid. If the fourth elder brother invited you to play together Bao Shisan elder brother, I think you are not willing either!

The thirteenth elder brother was able to come out, but it was not so easy for the fourth elder brother to say a few good words, and the fourth elder brother also took a big risk!Especially when he just helped the prince to pass a message, if the emperor thinks that he and the prince are in the same group, not only will he not be able to save the thirteenth brother, but he will have to put himself in and live directly next to the thirteenth brother.

The fourth brother was able to rescue the thirteenth brother, not only because of his courage, but in my opinion, the fourth brother is also scheming and resourceful. "

Brother Nine smiled and said, "Hey! You are a woman, but you understand better than the officials of the court."

Brother Nine crossed his legs, shook his head and said, "Indeed, saving the thirteenth child is risky, and I'm not willing to do it. The fourth one! I have to admit, he's quite capable!"

Jiu Fujin glanced at Brother Jiu, she had been holding back something in her heart for a long time, today's atmosphere is just right, she should ask her a question.

"Who do you think is better, the fourth brother or the eighth brother?"

Brother Nine replied without hesitation: "Of course the starling is fine! Look at the fourth son, who keeps a straight face every day, stuffy and boring. I think he is old-fashioned and prudish!"

Jiu Fujin said: "It turns out that you don't like the temperament of the fourth brother, but I think the fourth brother is better than the eighth brother."

"You can't rebel! Mynah and I grew up together, how many years have we been friends!"

Jiu Fujin said: "After so many years of friendship, if you are the one who is imprisoned this time, will the starling go all out to save you like the fourth brother?"

Brother Jiu opened his mouth, "Of course!"

The words were loud, but Brother Jiu was a little guilty.
