Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 40 years

At the beginning of November, Lord Kangxi visited Nanyuan and specially called Gao Shiqi to accompany him.

Gao Shiqi's life was full of ups and downs. He was repeatedly impeached by Guo Xiu and others, stepped down several times, and was recalled by the emperor several times.At this time, due to old age and unemployment at home, he was often called to accompany Sheng Jia.

The fourth elder brother was also called to go hunting in Nanyuan. When Luanjia returned to Beijing, Lord Kangxi presented Gao Shiqi with a couplet, which was written in the imperial letter: "Loyalty is the appearance, filial piety is the heart; words have substance, and deeds have perseverance."

Such a high evaluation is the first and only case so far for an official who has been impeached by Guo Xiu.

And that night, the fourth elder brother woke up again from his sleep, and the hand holding Su Wei was as cold as ice.Su Wei patted the fourth elder brother's back comfortingly, and the two fell asleep in a daze when it was almost dawn.

On the ninth day of November, a heavy rain with fine snow was accompanied by a biting cold wind, and roaring thunder poured down.

The emperor summoned all the ministers to discuss the matter of Huguangliang land in the South Study Room, and the fourth elder brother was among them.

Su Wei held the hand stove and hid in the ear room, looking out of the window from time to time, a faint uneasiness lingered in his heart amidst lightning and thunder.

Yuqing Palace

In the inner hall of the main hall, there was the sound of the wind and the moon.

The prince was leaning on the couch, wearing only a single robe, holding a jug in his hand, watching the music girls in the palace spinning, laughing and clapping at times.

Side Fujin Li Jiashi wandered around in the backyard, Fujin Shishi only knew to kneel in front of the Bodhisattva and pray.

"Come here," Li Jiashi raised her voice.

The little father-in-law under the porch trotted into the house immediately, "The servant is here."

"Order to go down, watch the door closely, and block anyone who comes!" Li Jiashi ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes," the father-in-law took the order.

"They are just slaves," Shi knelt on the futon, his voice was desolate, "If any master in the palace wants to come in, they can't stop them."

Li Jiashi glanced at Shishi, and said coldly, "This is Yuqing Palace, where the East Palace is located. Except for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, no one in the palace deserves to be called a master by the Crown Princess."

Shi closed her eyes and stopped talking. Li Jia looked in the direction of the front yard and sighed deeply.

"Is Ama still drinking?" Hongxi, the second elder brother of Yuqing Palace, whispered to the eunuch beside the door.

The eunuch nodded, "The recruited girls haven't come out yet, maybe they're still drinking."

Hong Xi lowered her head, pursed her lips, but heard a "bang" in the inner hall, and the elder brother Hong Rui stepped out quickly.

"Brother, where are you going?" Hong Xi grabbed Hong Rui's sleeve, "Emiang asked us to study here."

"If you have a father like this, what books do you still read?" Hong Rui threw Hong Xi away and braved the rain to go to the main hall in the front yard. The little eunuch at the door hurriedly followed with an umbrella.

The prince was squinting his eyes and beating the time when the door of the house was pushed open.

"Hongrui?" The prince blushed and waved, "It's just right, come, let's have a few drinks with Ama."

"Ama can't drink any more," Hongrui shook off the obstruction of the servants, and snatched the jug from the prince's hand, "The emperor's grandpa summoned all the ministers in the South Study Room, and even the fourth emperor's uncle was there. Can we go?"

The prince smiled, took Hongrui's hand and patted it, "Don't worry, your grandpa will send someone to look for him if he wants Ama to go. If he didn't send someone, he will naturally not want Ama to go. You see, outside With such a heavy rain, your grandpa is worried about Ama's health, so—"

"Ama!" Hongrui withdrew his hand violently, "You are the prince, the son of the emperor, you should be diligent in government and love the people, and be supported by thousands of people. How can you degenerate here and prostitute yourself in the daytime!"

"Big brother," Xiao Chuzi moved forward in surprise, but was stopped by the prince's raised hand.

"Keep talking, Ama, listen, keep talking!" The prince stood up with the help of the bed, and the ten-year-old Hongrui immediately looked much shorter, "You are only ten years old, and you already know the dignity of the prince? Ah Ma ascended to the ninth fifth position, so that I can become the master of this Yuqing Palace?"

Hongrui widened his eyes, and tears welled up in his eyes, "My son has been proud of Ama since he was a child. In his eyes, apart from the grandpa, only Ama is an indomitable man, a great hero, and the most noble and sacred person in the world." People. But what is Ama doing, do you have a son in your heart? Do you have Yuqing Palace? Do you have the world? Now your mind is full of that violating ethics, shameless and lowly slave!"

"Bastard!" A thunderclap covered up a crisp sound in the main hall of Yuqing Palace.

Hongrui covered his face and looked at the prince in astonishment, before the prince stretched out his hand, he turned around and snatched the door away.

South study ear room

Eunuch Cui, who was on duty, poured Su Wei a cup of hot tea, and gently persuaded him, "Go inside and sit for a while, the Holy Majesty has something to discuss with you, I'll ask the little eunuch to watch at the door, and the fourth elder brother will notify you as soon as he comes out. "

Su Wei took the tea bowl and curled the corners of his mouth, "I'm not tired, it's good to stand for a while, it seems like I haven't seen such a heavy rain for a long time."

Eunuch Cui smiled, and before he could open his mouth, he heard panicked footsteps outside.The two immediately held up their umbrellas, opened the door and walked out. They saw several father-in-laws rushing to the door of the South Study Room, kneeling on the steps under the obstruction of the guards on duty, shouting hoarsely into the room, "Qi Your Majesty, Yuqing Palace elder brother fell beside the lotus pond in the imperial garden and died!"

Su Wei was startled, and looked straight at the door. There was a movement of figures in the room, and after a while, Master Kangxi walked out of the door with the help of the fourth elder brother.

Yuqing Palace

The prince stumbled and ran out of the gate, Xiao Chuzi followed closely, and wrapped the prince in an apricot-yellow python robe.

Fang Fujin Li Jiashi ran out the door crying and yelling, and collapsed on the ground within a few steps.The Crown Princess Shi Shi hastily brought up the soft sedan chair, and the group of people almost scrambled and crawled towards the imperial garden, regardless of being drenched in the rain.

By the lotus pond in the imperial garden, the servant kneeling on the ground, and the imperial physician who was on duty at elder brother's place was cleaning Hongrui's wound.

"Hongrui!" The crown prince arrived first, the robe that was draped around his body was already soaked, and his body was covered with mud.

"Your Highness," the imperial physicians were silent, shrugging their shoulders.

The prince rushed to the child's side without hesitation, his hands trembling when he touched the blood, "Hongrui, wake up, Ama is here..."

"Your Highness," the leading doctor, Gu Taiyi, said with a suppressed voice, "Brother Hongrui, you have already gone."

The emperor and his entourage rushed to the imperial garden, and Su Wei held up an umbrella all the way and tried his best to block the fourth elder brother's head.Just after Wanchun Pavilion, a heart-wrenching wail resounded through the palace through the roar of thunder.Master Kangxi staggered and was supported by the fourth elder brother.

Bypassing the Wanchun Pavilion, a person kneeling on the ground appeared in front of his eyes. Master Kangxi pushed away the hand of the fourth elder brother, and walked to the prince step by step.

The prince sat on the ground holding Hongrui's body, and raised his head to meet the emperor's eyes after a while, "Huang Ama, you know, my son's pain..."
