[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

There is a current custom that when an old man passes away, it is best to have all relatives and children by his side.

The fourth elder brother didn't know if the emperor's illness happened by chance, or if it was really bad. Even if he mobilized everyone, he would let everyone wait together.

The harem concubines, the prince, the prince Fujin, the princess, the royal relatives, and some important ministers all stayed outside the emperor's bedroom, even the three imprisoned princes arrived.In the bedroom, only the fourth elder brother, the fourth concubine and Shuwan are there.

The emperor fell into a drowsy sleep, his cheeks were sunken, his skinny, his face was blue and gray, and it was completely impossible to see that he could ride a horse a few months ago.

The fourth concubine sobbed softly while pinching the handkerchief, everyone's eyes were swollen from crying.

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor woke up leisurely, and the fourth elder brother hurriedly stepped forward to hold his hand.

"Huang Ama, my son is here!"

The emperor said hoarsely, "Help me up."

The fourth concubine also went up to welcome her, and Shuwan poured a cup of warm water and handed it to the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother put the water glass near the emperor's mouth, the emperor shook his head, "I don't want to drink."

The fourth elder brother hurriedly put the water glass aside, helped the emperor up, and let him lean on his shoulder.

The emperor looked at the few people in the room, "Is it just you?"

"No, everyone is here! There is no room to stand in the room, and they are all standing outside."

Shuwan opened the window and nodded to everyone outside the window.The people outside shouted hurriedly, some called Huang Ama, some called the emperor.

The emperor let the princes and princesses come in, and dozens of people stood in the room, crowding the room to the brim.

The emperor sighed: "The room is too small! The others will disappear! You are all by my side, which shows that I am a lucky person."

After speaking, the emperor smiled, he closed his eyes, his breathing gradually weakened, and he lost his breath in the arms of the fourth elder brother.

Everyone knelt down and wept.

Brother Fourteen, who was still on the road at this time, looked up at the sky, and said to his confidants: "We can't delay any longer, give up the small road and take the big road, and speed up the march. More and more people have noticed our movements recently. Some officials came to ask, I can fool one or two, but I can't fool the whole world."

All the confidants also agreed with Brother Fourteen's opinion, they are not far from the capital now, so they don't need to be cautious.The generals passed on orders, ordering the soldiers to pack lightly and march faster.

Fourteenth elder brother was riding on the horse, thinking about the plan after arriving in the capital.The army passed by a narrow valley. Brother Fourteen looked at the surrounding terrain and ordered people to go ahead to find the way.

The spies returned soon, and the valley was fine, and the army could pass through with confidence.

The soldiers lined up neatly and walked forward through the valley. When Brother Fourteen passed by, there was a sudden cry of killing in the valley.

I saw many archers suddenly appearing on the hillsides on both sides, and someone shouted: "Brother Fourteen, please stop, please come up the mountain to talk, we are sent by the emperor to pick you up."

Fourteenth elder brother thumped on the saddle angrily. It's really hateful. If his whereabouts are leaked, it will be difficult to deal with later!

The guards hurriedly raised their shields to protect Brother Fourteen.

The people on the mountain smiled and said: "Brother Fourteen, you are the prince, we dare not make things difficult, I just want to ask you to come up and talk. You see, our archers are tired from pulling the bow all the time. If you miss and shoot the arrow It’s not good to go out and hurt you by mistake.”

The fourteenth brother's confidant said: "Master, he is threatening you, you can't listen to him, you can't come back after you go! There are only some archers, we have a lot of people, just rush out, you don't want to participate in the battle, Let the guards protect and run out of the valley first."

Fourteenth elder brother scolded: "Use your brain, open your eyes to see how many archers there are on the mountain, how many lives will you kill if you rush out! If you rush out here, what shall we do when we get to the capital?"

Without soldiers, he still messed up!

A person walked down the mountain slowly, and he smiled as he walked, "Greetings to Lord Fourteen, you don't want to go up the mountain to talk, so I'll come down to find you."

Walking down the mountain, the man respectfully saluted Fourteenth Elder Brother.

"Master, let's take a step to talk."

Fourteenth elder brother's confidantes surrounded him and did not allow this person to approach.

Fourteenth elder brother waved away the crowd, "You all retreat, he is the only one, can he still eat me?"

The confidantes walked aside, and the visitor and Brother Fourteen walked aside and talked behind their backs.

"You bring so many soldiers, what will the emperor think? The emperor is just sick, but his mind is clear!"

Someone came to look around, "You came back suddenly just to gamble, now that your whereabouts have been discovered, it's like seeing your hole cards on the gambling table, how can you gamble?

The concubine De concubine begged the emperor bitterly, putting all the embarrassment and affection of these years into it, the emperor is now out of energy, and he is not in the mood to argue about it.As long as you go back with me, the emperor will not hold on to you. "

Elder Fourteen sneered, "You think I'm a three-year-old kid, so easy to fool!"

"Look at what you said, how dare I! If you don't believe my words, you can just think for yourself. The emperor is sick now, and you bring your troops back to Beijing. Is it good to hear the news?"

These words were not pleasant to Fourteenth Elder Brother's ears, so he gave the man a vicious look.

"For the sake of face, the emperor won't do anything to you. At most, he will curse and beat you a few times. If you do such a thing, you can't expect the emperor to treat you like a sweet potato!"

Brother Fourteen understands the truth, but he is not willing to give up so easily.

The visitor handed him the letter from the concubine De, and mentioned Fourteen Fortunes.

"Look at the letter from Empress Defei, and then think about Fourteenth Fujin and Elder Gege. Fourteenth Fujin didn't know that you were leading troops back to Beijing! If you knew, what would Fujin think? Elder Brothers would What do you think? You can't get by!

Look at the soldiers you lead, they follow you wholeheartedly, if you want to rush out, they have to fight with me without saying a word, for no other reason than because you lead troops well, they are willing to follow you.But this mountain is full of archers!Do you have the heart to see them die? "

The visitor coaxed and lied repeatedly, and Brother Fourteen's attitude relaxed a lot.

The people who came to persuade him saw that the time was almost up, so they turned their heads to look at the many confidantes of Brother Fourteen.

He didn't dare to let these people come near, the fourteenth prince is the prince, he can get away with the crime, and these confidantes will not be treated so well if they follow around.Even if no one pays attention now, there will always be a time when they will be liquidated in the future.

These people knew very well what would happen to them after Elder Fourteen surrendered, and they would definitely encourage Elder Fourteen to continue the trouble.

Someone came to persuade: "Master, time is running out, the emperor is seriously ill, I have prepared the horses, let's go now!"

Seeing that the chances were slim, Elder Fourteen sighed.The visitor persuaded him for a long time, but the fourteenth brother did not have the determination to die and finally decided to give up.Losing the opportunity to make a surprise attack, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will not be able to accomplish anything.

Elder Fourteen went back and said to everyone: "I'll take a few guards back to Beijing first, you guys go back to the northwest!"

How can the confidantes bear it after hearing this!They risked their lives to make a contribution, but when it came to a critical moment, you, the leader, ran away first!

"Master Fourteen! Are you admitting cowardice now? You pat your ass and leave, what should you do, brothers?"

The person who came to persuade him hurriedly said: "Don't get excited, big guys. Of course, the Fourteenth Lord has thought about your future. The emperor is seriously ill, and there are bandits and horse thieves along the way. You have contributed to escorting the Fourteenth Lord. Now we are almost in the capital, the Emperor. I specially sent someone to pick up the Fourteenth Master, so you can go back with peace of mind."

Brother Fourteen also promised: "Don't worry, everyone, one person is responsible for the work, and I will not implicate you."

Someone muttered in a low voice, "You speak lightly..."

No matter how many people come, I will leave after helping Brother Fourteen to get on the horse.All the confidantes gathered around to stop them, and an archer on the mountain shouted, "Whoever dares to step forward, I will tell him to stay here with his life!"

The archer shot two arrows and landed in front of everyone's feet. Everyone didn't dare to persuade them anymore, and watched Elder Fourteen leave.

If you are liquidated in the future, you may still be able to save your life, but if you stop Brother Fourteen now, you will die immediately.

The people from the capital escorted the fourteenth brother back to the capital at full speed. After entering the city, the fourteenth brother looked at the white lanterns hanging on the street and his heart skipped a beat.

They hurried to the palace, and the person who came to pick him up handed him a filial cloth, and asked the fourteenth elder brother to take off his hat tassel, cut off part of his hair, and then took the fourteenth elder brother to the place where the coffin stopped.

At this time, everyone was guarding the spirit, and the fourteenth elder brother rushed in, threw himself on the emperor's body and cried loudly.

"Huang Ama, my son is late! Open your eyes and look at me! Huang Ama!"

The fourteenth elder brother cried so loudly that the sound of the monk and lama chanting scriptures next to him was suppressed.

It stands to reason that it is normal for a son to be sad and cry for a while. Although it looks unseemly, but he is his own son after all, so it's okay.

But the fourth elder brother can't understand him like this. Now that the emperor is gone, you cry with sincerity. When the emperor is alive, why are you disobedient and let the emperor feel at ease?

The fourth elder brother gave Su Peisheng a look, and Su Peisheng appreciated it, and hurried forward to help the fourteenth elder brother.

"Master Fourteen, I'm sorry, the late Emperor would not bear to see you like this."

Elder Fourteen shook off Su Peisheng and ignored him at all.

The fourth elder brother had no choice but to come over to persuade him in person.

"Fourteenth brother, come here and don't make trouble in front of Huang Ama."

The fourteenth elder brother still ignored him, he already knew it on the way here, and in the end it was the fourth elder brother who inherited the throne.Brother Fourteen was unconvinced, and he panicked when he didn't make a fuss.

Su Peisheng whispered: "Master Fourteen, now your brother is the new emperor..."

You have to give face to your own brother, you have to give face to the new emperor!

The fourteenth brother cried: "I cried for Huang Ama, and I didn't hinder other people's eyes!"

The fourth elder brother gritted his teeth and wanted to slap him a few times. The bad brother has no other use than to make trouble!

At this time, the eighth elder brother said, "Fourteenth brother, don't mess around, your relatives and friends are here, if you want to cry, you have to restrain yourself and pay attention to etiquette."

Brother Fourteen immediately stopped crying, went to his place and knelt obediently, very obedient.

Everyone's eyes unconsciously glanced at the fourth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother and the eighth elder brother gave him a big shame for the new emperor.

The eighth elder brother raised his head, and the fourth elder brother's gaze happened to sweep over.

The eighth elder brother nodded humbly, keeping his posture very low, but the fourth elder brother felt a little provocation.
