The emperor was rarely nervous.

When he heard Su Peisheng's announcement outside, for a moment, he even felt a long-lost and unfamiliar fear.

For an emperor, the only thing he can fear is the so-called destiny.

If it's another Qing Dynasty, the thirteenth brother, will it still be the thirteenth brother?

But when Prince Yi stood up after saluting with Prince Xun, the emperor's heart sank as soon as their eyes met. Looking at him with caring, calm, loyal and trusting eyes like this, this is Thirteenth Brother !

In order not to show the momentary loss of focus, the emperor nodded first, ordered the two of them to sit down, and then sat sideways.

Taking advantage of this moment to stabilize his mentality, the emperor opened his mouth.

It was a serious matter to ask first. The return of the fire consumption to the public and the distribution of the property into the mu was the biggest reform he made in the early days of his ascension to the throne, and it was also a change that he looked back after many years and was confident that he would never go wrong.It's just that these two items have touched the wealth and power of the officials and gentry. There are many things that officials from all over the country secretly demolished him, and the strength of the local wealthy families to counterattack is not small.This time around, the emperor is confident that there will be fewer detours in implementing reforms.

Although the thirteenth master and the fourteenth master both went to Henan, they separated there for a few days and went to different towns. At this time, they respectively reported to the emperor the state of the local people's livelihood.

After finishing the business, the emperor wanted to care about Thirteenth Brother's health, fearing that he would lose his composure, so he decided to look at Fourteenth first.

Speaking of which, after just one look, he decided that the thirteenth brother was the thirteenth brother, but at the same time, he also discovered that the fourteenth brother was no longer the fourteenth brother who was unfamiliar and hostile to him later, but a bit like when he was a child, with A bit reckless and naive Fourteen.

The emperor still remembered that after the sudden death of the first emperor, Fourteen rushed back from the border to attend the funeral. Seven of them were dissatisfied and eight were not angry. The commotion was called a collapse, so he drove Shisi to guard the spirit of the late emperor, and he never saw each other again until his death.

But here, Shisi was named the King of Xun County, and he followed Shisan to run errands for him in Henan.

Looking at his eyes, there is no cold hostility, just like a normal brother.Even sitting was more relaxed. Before he could speak, he began to eat the cakes on the table, and listened to Lord Thirteen while eating. When it was time for him to speak, he took a sip of tea to smooth his throat before speaking.

Looking at his actions and combining with his previous memories, Emperor Yongzheng knew that in this Qing Dynasty, he, Er Niang, and Shisi were all mother-son-brother relationships of ordinary people.

There was a complex mood change towards the Empress Dowager. Facing Fourteen, Emperor Yongzheng, who was used to being the elder brother and the emperor, entered into the role better. Eat half a plate of snacks before you catch your breath, and you are not afraid that you will not be able to bear it?"

Fourteen told him to be confused, and looked at him in disbelief with a snack in his hand.

what's up?Where did I fail to do my errands well?Brother Huang, why don't you even let me eat a bite of dessert?

King Xunjun is only 25 years old now, and it is the time when young people are at their strongest and in their best health. Let alone eating half a plate of dim sum from outside, even if you give him a leg of lamb, he can eat it. .

In the past, when he ate fruit snacks in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor didn't care about him, and even asked Su Peisheng to give him more. At this moment, he was suddenly reprimanded. Fourteen couldn't help but asked: "Brother Huang, these are not for us to eat. ah?"

The emperor was stopped by him instead.

The Thirteenth Master was still smiling and said: "Brother Huang wants you to eat slowly. You seem to be hungry as soon as you enter the door. I am afraid that Brother Huang is thinking about you being wronged outside these days."

Only then did Fourteen laugh, and raised his head to complain to the emperor, and even brought out his original address: "Then fourth brother, you can just say it straight. It's been like this since you were a child. Let us guess half of what you say. If you can't guess, you still don't know." Happy—then no one is the Jade Emperor's fortune teller, so he can guess almost right after time."

The emperor was used to seeing Shisi who was full of swords and hurting people, and he was fighting against him. Seeing this 25-year-old straightforward, even complaining about Shishi, he was quite speechless.

He was at a loss for words for a moment, and under the gaze of Fourteen's "Why are you so awkward", he had no choice but to say with a straight face: "I have answered my words, and I have eaten snacks. Go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. After walking for more than half a month, the Queen's mother didn't say anything, but she was very worried about it."

Only then did Shisi get up, and changed his salutation back to a serious salute: "Your Excellency, I will leave."

Only the emperor and Prince Yi were left in the room.

Su Peisheng slipped away again by sending off King Xun, he always felt that the emperor seemed to have something important to tell Lord Thirteen alone.

Emperor Yongzheng didn't know how to speak for a while, but the Thirteenth Master said with concern first: "The ministers have been away for nearly two months, but something happened in Beijing? Seeing that the emperor seems to be a little..." He wanted to say that he was tired, But no, Master Thirteen thought about it, and felt that the emperor suddenly became more imperial, which was different from before.

Seeing that the emperor shook his head and said it was nothing serious, Lord Thirteen laughed: "Brother Huang takes care of himself on a regular basis, and my younger brother has returned to Beijing. I will do my best to share my worries with Brother Huang."

An ordinary sentence almost brought tears to Emperor Yongzheng's eyes.

In the eighth year of Yongzheng, when Prince Yi passed away, he was also seriously ill with vomiting blood.In addition to the pain, there is also a lot of guilt in my heart: Thirteenth brother has become weaker and weaker in recent years, but he has not stopped working on court affairs for a moment.

As an emperor, he should have worked hard for the world, but the thirteenth brother, in fact, could have been a wealthy prince like the seventh and twelve brothers.

He was in his early forties when he died.

Fourth Master always felt that Thirteenth Brother's death and his short lifespan were all for him.The thirteenth brother was helping him with his own life, like a handful of burning coals, trying his best to warm him even a little until it finally went out.

It has been more than ten days since he came to this Qing Dynasty, and this place seems to be the way he expected to live in the world. He loves his biological mother and treats himself like his own brother.

But the best thing, which made him afraid to face it directly, for fear of disappointment, was the young and healthy younger brother who was as vigorous as the rising sun in his memory.

These days, he didn't sleep well every night, and he always felt that when he woke up, he was still a ray of the lonely soul of an emperor in the world.

It wasn't until the day when he met Thirteen that he felt his mind was solidified and completely at ease.

This Qing Dynasty is still his Qing Dynasty, but this time he will not repeat the previous regrets!

Especially... the emperor focused his eyes on Prince Yi's legs: "Get up and take two steps, I'll see, come on, take two steps."

This time, Prince Yi, who was about to fill his stomach with snacks, was stunned:? ? ?

What's wrong with the fourth brother? It's as if he is coaxing his youngest son in the mansion.There is a concubine in Prince Yi's mansion who just gave him a little elder brother more than a year ago. These days, he is learning to walk. Prince Yi squatted on the ground and clapped his hands all day long: "Come on, take two steps."

Regardless of Shisan's surprise, the emperor insisted.And Shisan is also a younger brother who is used to listening to the fourth brother. No matter how puzzled he is, he will resolutely execute the instructions first, and even exceed the standard. He not only got up and walked around, but even jumped twice. It seems that if the emperor does not stop, he Can do another set of crouching tiger boxing taught by the masters.

Fortunately, the emperor stopped: "Zhen... a few days ago I kept having nightmares. I dreamed that you had a sore the size of a bowl on your leg, accompanied by high fever and palpitations. It was very dangerous. I'm afraid it would be life-threatening."

There should be something wrong with the thirteenth brother's leg at this moment.

It was this leg injury that made the thirteenth brother, who was excellent in riding and shooting, unable to fight the enemy. From time to time, the pain made him unable to walk or became critically ill with high fever. In the end, he became incurable bone sores and bone tuberculosis, and died in his prime.

Prince Yi was very moved in his heart, he wondered that when he saw the fourth brother today, he felt that he seemed to be extraordinarily caring about him, so it turned out that there was a nightmare invading the dragon body.

So Shisan was obedient and thoughtful and promised that he would go to the imperial hospital first tomorrow, and let the imperial doctors who are good at traumatic orthopedics show his legs and feet collectively, please don't worry, Brother Huang.

The emperor just passed through the incident of "walking two steps", which was also a bit embarrassing.

So the two brothers sat down and began to talk about political affairs again.Speaking of court affairs, the emperor really wanted to ask the Thirteenth Master something.

"Nowadays the red flags are all over the army, and Guarjiaguan protects this man. You and I will talk about it in detail."

Ever since Emperor Yongzheng came here, he had already had a clear view of the court within ten days, and the officials in the past and present had all been right.Basically, some respectable officials are very similar to his previous life, but there is only one person who is in such an important position as Xianghongqi Dutong, but he has no impression of it at all.

He carefully checked this person's resume, and found that this person was very outstanding from birth to personal ability, and he was promoted very quickly, which shows that he was quite favored by the late emperor.But the thing that the emperor cares more about is that Prince Yi has a good personal relationship with this Guan Bao.The recent errand of the Eight Banners to rectify the farmland was proposed by Prince Yi and handed over to Guarjia Guanbao.

The Thirteenth Lord was not very surprised to see the emperor's brother suddenly asking about this person: when Huang Ama was around, the brothers were jealous for winning the first son, and Huang Ama also became ruthless.The fourth brother was going to be a lone minister at that time, so of course he couldn't have much contact with the high-ranking courtiers.This Guerjia Guanbao has some connections with him, if the emperor wants to reuse him, he should ask more questions.

More than ten years ago, when the emperor took his sons to conquer Galdan in person, Guan Bao, who was only 30 years old at the time, was in charge of guarding the Thirteen Lords, and his friendship has been there since then.

And three years ago, the late emperor abolished the crown prince, Thirteen was implicated, he lost the heart of the late emperor, and was very lonely. The officials outside looked at the emperor's eyes and made trouble, but the guards were more considerate in secret many times. .

After listening to Prince Yi's words, the emperor first had a good impression of this man: So it turned out that he was my thirteenth brother who helped me.

After Shisan finished speaking seriously, he suddenly became a little curious and whispered: "Brother Huang suddenly asked Guan Bao, is it because of the new..." He pointed to his heart, with a teasing taste unique to brothers: "My sweetheart—although I'm not in Beijing, I know that in the draft a month ago, the imperial brother selected Guanbao's daughter Guerjia as the only noble person."

The emperor was taken aback, it was rare to see the thirteenth younger brother who joked so naturally and freely.

The Thirteenth Master experienced the abolition of the crown prince in Kangxi's 47 years four years ago. It was true that he fell out of favor and was neglected for several years, but the emperor has been very popular since he ascended the throne.Therefore, it is not like the timeline that Emperor Yongzheng experienced personally. The thirteenth brother has been depressed for more than ten years, and has been repeatedly reprimanded by Huang Ama in the cold, so that the chic and freehand brushwork in his youth has completely become a little too cautious, and his speech is very cautious.

The emperor also relaxed and shook his head with Shisan and said with a smile: "I'm very busy these days, I haven't even seen Guarjia's face yet, you'll make wild guesses."

The Thirteenth Master was a little surprised to hear this: Beijing and Henan have been exchanging letters, and it was mentioned in Fujin's latest family letter that the new beautiful girl entered the palace ten days ago.Ordinarily, the nobleman should be one of the newcomers, how come the emperor brother has never seen it.

It's just about the issue of the sisters-in-law's bedtime, so it really can't be joked anymore, it's too frivolous.Although Shisan had doubts, he kept this matter in his heart first, and was going to go back to the mansion to ask his family Fujin.

At this time in the Palace of Compassion, the Empress Dowager was guarding the Fourteenth Lord, listening to him with a smile about what he had seen and heard all the way to Henan.

Then he couldn't help telling him: "Whatever you did for your emperor Ama in the past, you will do the same for your emperor brother in the future. You have to be more careful! Don't be proud of yourself as the emperor's brother. If you delay the errand, Tell your brother to use you to make a raft and punish the police, but I don't care about you!"

It's okay if Fourteen doesn't listen, but once he heard it, he couldn't help saying: "Emiang still talks about me, I see that Brother Huang treats Thirteenth Brother better than me."

The queen mother also jumped out when she heard his words of complaining about the king, and she was annoyed: "I came back from the outside, and I was jealous before I ate the reunion dumplings! You have several sons and daughters under your knees, and you still have the same relationship as when you were a child." You don’t have to guard your head when you speak, but with your mouth, let alone the emperor, I dare not ask you to do something serious.”

Speaking of this, the queen mother is really a little anxious: when she was fourteen, she was stubborn, or reckless. No one else dared to speak against the late emperor, but he did.

Now that the emperor has ascended the throne, his seniority has risen, and he looks more reckless. If the emperor is really annoyed, and the brothers turn their faces, what is the point of the rest of her life for her as a mother?

This is a bad situation. The second queen mother looked at her youngest son and remembered that Fourteen, who was ten years younger than the emperor, already had four sons. Now there is a side Fujin and a concubine in the mansion who are pregnant, but the emperor They don't even enter the harem there!

The queen mother inevitably became more anxious, and she gave a few more words to her youngest son before giving up.

So the Fourteenth Master was rarely in a disgraceful place with the Queen Mother, and went home wondering.
