[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

The emperor was wearing clothes and sitting on the couch, a chess board was placed on the small table in front of him, and the emperor was holding the chess pieces to play chess records and chatting for entertainment.

The fourth elder brother respectfully handed over the brochure, "Huang Ama, the old fourteenth requests to return to Beijing."

The eunuch took the notebook and put it at the emperor's hand, but the emperor didn't read it.

"What do you think?" the emperor asked.

The fourth elder brother thought about it and said: "Everyone feels bad when the queen mother passed away. The old fourteen is far away in the northwest. If he can't come back to pay respects, there is nowhere to place his grief. The northwest is still peaceful at the moment, so it's okay for the old fourteen to come back. "

The emperor dropped a chess piece, picked up the brochure of the fourteenth elder brother and looked at it.

In the notebook, Brother Fourteen wrote sincerely. He knew that it was too late to come back at this time, and he just wanted to kowtow in front of the Queen Mother's Mausoleum.

The emperor put down the booklet, "You want the old fourteen to come back, and Concubine De also wants him to come back. The old fourteen is in the northwest, she always thinks about it."

The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "Emiang misses everyone, she misses as many as she gives birth to, and my sister and I are in the capital, so she always misses it too."

The emperor smiled and nodded, "That's the case. Parents are like this. Your mother-in-law is the most cautious. She doesn't say anything, but I know that she wants the old fourteen to come back and accompany him for a long time. By her side."

The emperor tested the fourth elder brother, "If the old fourteenth comes back, who do you think can replace him?"

Brother Si is not easy to answer this question, he must want his own people to replace Brother Fourteen, but the question is does the emperor really want to replace him?

The fourth elder brother said: "The fourteenth brother has done a good job in the northwest. I don't think Huang Ama needs to replace him. Er Niang is a person who knows the general situation. Although she wants the fourteenth brother to come back, she just thinks about it. She knows the importance. .”

Women in the harem are not allowed to participate in politics, and the emperor's mention of concubine De is just an excuse.How could he change the layout of the court for Concubine De?

The emperor was very satisfied with the answer of the fourth elder brother, he had no intention of replacing the fourteenth elder brother.One is that it is troublesome to replace people, which may cause turmoil in the northwest, and the other is to guard against the fourth elder brother.

The emperor always felt insecure, and now he was weak and could not control his hands and feet, which aggravated his sense of crisis.He took a fancy to the fourth elder brother as his heir, and at the same time was guarding against him.

The emperor smiled and said: "Since you think he is good, then don't change him. Let the old fourteen come back for a few days, and then go back when the matter is over."

"Yes, I will send someone to send a message to the old fourteen."

On the way out of the palace, the fourth elder brother had a gloomy face and felt blocked.

Over the years, he has pondered the emperor's thoughts a lot, otherwise he wouldn't be where he is today.

The fourth elder brother can clearly see the emperor's defense against him.

On the surface, he followed the words of the fourth elder brother and acted in accordance with the fourth elder brother's ideas. In fact, he guided the fourth elder brother to move towards the desired result step by step.

The emperor's precautions chilled the fourth elder brother. He did have ambitions, but he was not mad enough to kill his father and seize power.

The fourth elder brother couldn't figure it out, since the emperor intended for him to inherit the throne, why bother him?Doesn't the emperor know how much a prince with outstanding military achievements will hinder him in the future?

The emperor didn't care about the mood of the fourth elder brother, his decree spread to the northwest, and the fourteenth elder brother set off immediately after receiving the imperial edict, and returned to the capital soon.

He returned to Beijing under the banner of paying homage to the Queen Mother, so naturally he had to do a lot of tricks.After returning to Beijing, he ignored the dust and dust, went straight to the Queen Mother's cemetery, first worshiped and then entered the city.

When the emperor knew about it, he praised him a few words, praising him for his filial piety.

The fourteenth elder brother went to the palace to face the saint and told the emperor about the situation in the northwest.The emperor repeatedly praised the fourteenth elder brother for his dedication and discipline in the early court, and also rewarded many good things.

The emperor specially promoted him, and for a while the fourteenth elder brother became a man of the hour in the capital, and the front of his mansion became very lively, and there was an endless stream of visitors.

The fourteenth elder brother is different from the fourth elder brother. The fourth elder brother is somewhat arrogant. He will not accept the favor of officials easily, unless the person is particularly capable and talented.

The fourth elder brother is unwilling to form a party and go the old way of abolishing the prince, so he prefers to be short.

In this regard, the fourteenth brother is not as particular as his elder brother. Anyway, it is delivered to the door. If they are willing to come and cling, then come!There is always a day for them!

Fourteenth elder brother came back with great difficulty, naturally he had to visit relatives and friends, and it was unavoidable to go to fourth elder brother's house.

I still remember that when I first left the capital, the fourth elder brother was still an ordinary prince. When he returned to the capital this time, his own brother became an uncanonized prince. The fourteenth elder brother was not convinced.

But he is no longer a reckless young man, he will not rush to the fourth elder brother's house to vent his dissatisfaction with him, he has learned to pretend a long time ago.

In Prince Yong's mansion, Shuwan ordered someone to prepare a large table of good wine and food, and Fourteenth Elder Brother and Fourteenth Fujin brought their children over to be guests.

Kang Bao and Xiaobao led their cousins ​​to the next table for dinner, and the fourth elder brother brought Shuwan and the fourteenth elder brother to the same table.

The fourteenth elder brother raised his wine glass with a smile on his face, "This glass of wine is a toast to the fourth brother, thank you for helping me take care of the family, I will do it first as a respect."

The fourteenth elder brother drank the wine boldly, and the fourth elder brother persuaded: "Drink slowly, don't drink in a hurry."

The fourteenth elder brother is talking about the scene, and the fourteenth Fujin is really grateful to the fourth elder brother.

"Fortunately, I have my fourth brother and sister-in-law to help me. Otherwise, I really can't take care of such a big family."

The fourth elder brother smiled and said, "My brother and sister are humble."

Shuwan said: "That's right! My brother and sister are strong people, they take care of themselves at home and outside, and they don't want to ask for help unless it's a last resort."

She said to the fourteenth elder brother: "The fourteenth brother must remember the goodness of his younger siblings. If it weren't for her, how could you do things outside with peace of mind?"

"Sister-in-law is very right. I will definitely treat Fujin even better."

Fourteen Fujin smiled shyly, with a hint of sweetness in his heart.The fourteenth elder brother poured wine for the fourth elder brother, without looking at Fourteen Fujin's happy face at all.

After eating, Brother Fourteen and his family left after sitting for a long time.

When everyone left, Xiaobao murmured to the fourth elder brother, "Why do I feel that Uncle Fourteen is hypocritical? His words are not real at all."

The fourth elder brother glanced at him, but didn't say anything to reprimand him, because he felt the same way.

Shuwan said: "Whether he's fake or not has nothing to do with us, we just have to do our own thing."

Xiaobao complained: "We don't eat this, but some people eat this!"

What Xiaobao was talking about was none other than the emperor.Fourteenth elder brother is very good at saying some good-sounding and obedient words. Sometimes the emperor knows it is false, but he still likes to hear it.

The emperor praised Fourteenth Elder Brother, Xiaobao was worthless for his own Ama, and Ama did so many practical things, but it was not worth Fourteenth Uncle's lip service.

Kang Bao thought for a while and said to the fourth elder brother: "Ama, I watched Fourteenth Uncle's actions after returning to Beijing with cold eyes, and felt that he cared about the emperor's importance to Ama."

Xiao Bao muttered in a low voice, "It's up to you to say, anyone with eyes can see it!"

Kang Bao gave him a blank stare and ignored him.

"Ama, the more people care about something, the more they want to explore. It is said that what is far away is fragrant and near is stinky. Uncle Fourteen finally came back. Of course the emperor likes it and is more tolerant of him. We can't wait for Uncle Fourteen If you make a mistake, you have to find a way to find something for him to do.

Since Fourteenth Uncle cares about Ama, then Ama might as well act in front of Fourteenth Uncle to give him the illusion that Ama is in power. "

What is the fourteenth brother most concerned about?It is the throne.The fourth elder brother is now in power, can he not be in a hurry?When people are in a hurry, they want to do something, and if they do too much, they tend to make mistakes.

Kang Bao's suggestion is indeed good, the fourth elder brother nodded, thinking that what he said made sense.

At this time, a little eunuch came in outside, he saluted, walked directly to Shuwan's side and whispered a few words in her ear.Not only did Shuwan not reprimand him for being unruly, she also praised him for a good job.

After the little eunuch retreated, Shuwan said to the fourth elder brother: "Our concierge saw the servants from the house next door chasing the fourteenth elder brother's car, and seemed to have delivered a letter into the car."

Xiaobao said: "The porter is Erniang's eyeliner, right? Eighth Uncle is bored in the mansion every day, and you still send someone to watch him?"

Shuwan said: "Be prepared!"

Hearing the news, the fourth elder brother was thoughtful.After a while, the fourth elder brother said slowly: "There is no need to act in front of your fourteenth uncle, I think he is going to be in a hurry."

The fourth elder brother knew the fourteenth elder brother very well, but he guessed a bit wrong, the fourteenth elder brother was not about to be anxious, he was already in a hurry.

I just stayed in the Northwest for a while, and the fourth brother changed suddenly and became the default prince!The fourteenth elder brother didn't understand what went wrong, and he didn't know what kind of ecstasy the fourth elder brother gave the emperor.

After finally going back to Beijing, Brother Fourteen must of course seize the time to curry favor with the emperor, win over contacts, and find a way to make a comeback for himself.

When the servants from Eighth Prince's Mansion came to deliver the letter, Fourteenth Prince was also surprised.In the carriage, Fourteen Fujin secretly tugged at his sleeves, not wanting him to have anything to do with Brother Eight.

But Elder Fourteen still accepted the letter, and couldn't wait to open it and read it when he got home.

In the letter, the eighth elder brother analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the fourteenth elder brother. He has a firm foothold in the northwest, which is the advantage of the fourteenth elder brother.It was too far away from the capital, so he couldn't have a sense of presence by the emperor's side. This was the disadvantage of Fourteenth Elder Brother.

The fourteenth elder brother nodded repeatedly after reading it. Apart from being born a few years earlier, how could the fourth elder brother be better than him?Why should he be the appointed prince? It's not that he can get the moon first if he is close to the water.

The space of the letter paper is limited, so the eight princes didn't write too much.The fourteenth elder brother tried to secretly ask the eighth elder brother out, and the good brother yelled like a good brother, coaxing the eighth elder brother to help him with ideas.

The eighth brother also cooperated and showed that he was very close to him. In fact, the two had their own ghosts and hated each other.

The rift in the relationship between the two is the Haidongqing incident. The fourteenth elder brother cheated the eighth elder brother, but the eighth elder brother took the initiative to come to the door. He has a good brain, and the fourteenth elder brother really couldn't refuse this think tank.

Although the eighth elder brother hated the fourteenth elder brother, he couldn't help him.

Besides, he is not destined for the throne in this life, but he can't just stay at home all the time!He didn't want to be mediocre for the rest of his life, and he didn't want to wait for his son to grow up to be an idle clan with a meager salary.

Now I support the fourteenth brother, and there is still a possibility of turning around in the future.If he waits for the fourth elder brother to take over, he will have to stay at home for the rest of his life, and he will never see his day.

The eighth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother gathered together again to plot a major event. The fourth elder brother was not angry about this, but the ninth elder brother exploded.

The fourth elder brother had just returned home after a busy day, and the ninth elder brother blocked the door on time to tell him the bitterness.

"Fourth brother, do you think the eighth man is crazy? Does he remember to eat but not hit? Has he forgotten how the old fourteen treated him? Go find him!"

Brother Jiu said to Shuwan: "Sister-in-law Si, please give me two jars of spirits."

Shuwan looked at the fourth elder brother, who nodded helplessly.

Take the bar, take the bar, he can't stop without a drink!

Shuwan didn't dare to take too strong wine, fearing that he would be angry and hurt himself by drinking strong wine, so she only took some low-strength wine to fool him.

Brother Nine tasted a cup, felt that the taste was bland, curled his lips in disgust, but didn't say anything in the end.

"Old Ba! He's such a fool!" Brother Jiu yelled, "Doesn't he know who Old Fourteen is? Why is he still looking for him? Why is he not picky at all!"

The fourth elder brother calmly watched the ninth elder brother curse, although it was his own younger brother.

"How do you know that the eighth and the fourteenth are getting together again?" the fourth elder brother asked, "If they want to plot something, it should be very secretive, right?"

Nine Brothers paused, he picked the cup uncomfortably, "They...they are careless in their actions, there are many people who know about it!"

Shuwan said: "Ninth brother should be very concerned about eighth brother! You only care about him, and the more you care about him, the more you want to criticize."

Brother Nine was furious, "Sister-in-law Si, what nonsense! Who cares about him! I didn't care about him, let alone criticize him!"

Shuwan: But I'm talking about paying attention, not caring... You're so guilty!
