Dressed as Su Peisheng

Chapter 155 Blood Man

Kangxi 41 years

Texas

In the fourth elder brother's bedroom, there was a lamp of white wax covered with a veil, and the bean-like fire light formed a white circle only by the fourth elder brother's hand.

"Imperial bodyguard?" Su Weizheng asked in a daze. His feet, which hadn't had time to wear shoes, stood on the ground naked, and the cool chill slowly rushed down his calf to his heart.

"Yes," Zhang Bao bowed his head and said, "Master Chang Lai told the servants that not long after Luanjia left Beijing, the imperial guards entered the imperial hospital, first tortured the court judge in secret, and then took Wei Qin away. He only said to the outside world that the palace medicine The materials flow into the people, and Wei Qin uses the public to seek personal gain, and his crime should be punished."

Su Wei heard the words and looked at the fourth elder brother. The too dim candle light could not reach the fourth elder brother's face, only to hear the fourth elder brother sigh slowly, "That's all, that's it, you go back and rest."

Zhang Bao looked up at the fourth elder brother, pursed his lips, and finally did not ask anything, bowed his head and saluted, "Yes, the slave will leave."

"Master," although Su Wei is still in a daze, but he knows one thing, if the imperial guards tortured Wei Qin, then the fourth elder brother found out that Suo'etu was the real murderer of Princess Wen Xian, and the emperor would know .On the day of Kaifu Temple, Lord Kangxi's blindness was probably a warning to the fourth elder brother to conceal and not report.

For a moment, Su Wei hugged the fourth elder brother with grievances. Si elder brother was not the only one who concealed the truth from the king. The fourth elder brother did this because he saw Lord Kangxi's attitude and made a decision after considering the severity. About Tarzan—”

The fourth elder brother shook his head, "Huang Ama doesn't have only one reason for doing things, it is meaningless to think about these now."

Su Wei pursed his lips, climbed onto the couch, and sat side by side with the fourth elder brother in the darkness, "Master, didn't you say that Wei Qin's one-sided words can't defeat Suo Ertu? Then even if the emperor arrests Wei Qin, he will not be able to defeat Suo Ertu." We can't be sure of anything, we didn't report it because the evidence is not enough, it's human nature. Besides, the evidence against Nalan Mingzhu is all there."

The fourth elder brother smiled lightly, and stretched out his hand to wrap Su Wei's waist, "Xiaowei, remember, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, not because a pack of wolves surround you, but because a tiger only depends on its heart when it is happy or angry. I said before The evidence for Xian's death is vague, it depends on what Huang Ama thinks. It is the same now. Nalan Mingzhu and Suo'etu, whoever Huang Ama wants to be the murderer is the murderer! As for me, the subject To be loyal is one's duty, and to conceal the truth for one's own selfishness, even if it is justifiable, is a taboo against those in power, and there is no excuse!"

Su Wei bit his lips, tugged at the palace uniform draped over his shoulders angrily, and frowned in confusion after a while and said, "Since the emperor knows about Suo'etu's murder of Princess Wen Xian, Why do you still call him to serve the prince? Isn’t this leading wolves into the house, in case the prince gets involved in some trouble—”

In the middle of Su Wei's speech, there was a sudden pause, and the flash of thought in his mind made him feel as if he was falling into an ice cellar.

The fourth elder brother kept his head down and remained silent. Su Wei swallowed and said in a low voice, "Master, the emperor really intends to... abolish the crown prince?"

The fourth elder brother tilted his head slightly, looked at the big eyes shining in the darkness, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I'm not sure yet, I hope I'm worrying too much. In fact, I've had doubts since a long time ago. Why did Huang Ama suddenly send imperial guards to monitor the princes during that northern tour? Why did the poetry club in Majia Hutong close so quickly? To the capital, but after that tour to the north, all actions ceased. What kind of character is Suo Etu? He would cut off his long-term efforts so simply for a surveillance that ended without a problem? What is he afraid of? ?”

Su Wei tugged at his braid in embarrassment, thought for a while and said softly, "The master is suspicious. Someone informed the emperor. Suo Etu found out that he was intervened, and the emperor suddenly sent someone to Monitoring the prince, so panicked and hastily interrupted all actions?"

The fourth elder brother nodded, "Shortly after that, Huang Ama visited Nanyuan and invited Gao Shiqi to accompany him, and my master was there at the time. I didn't see Gao Shiqi do anything special that day, and he has been out of work for a long time. There is no merit, but Huang Ama rewarded him with a pair of couplets with great interest when he parted. "Loyalty is the watch, filial piety is the heart; there is something in words, and there is perseverance in deeds", a song that Guo Xiu participated in. Unemployed veteran, how can you afford these few words?"

"There is something in words? That is to say, it was Gao Shiqi who reported the secret!" Su Wei wrapped his clothes and suddenly realized a serious joint, "Since the emperor already knows that Suo'etu is plotting something wrong, why doesn't he take action? It was just monitoring the princes on the northern tour road, and they died without any illness after returning to Beijing. How much deterrent effect would it have? After that, Suo'etu prayed to retreat, but the emperor repeatedly refused to say anything, and even mentioned Suo'etu's younger brother Xinyu to lead the guards Minister of Internal Affairs, there was no action to completely cut off the connection between the prince and Suo'etu. Could it be that—"

Su Wei looked at the fourth elder brother in disbelief, "The emperor is waiting for the prince to join Suo'etu—to rebel?"

The fourth elder brother exhaled slowly. The airflow exhaled in the darkness seemed to be frosted, and the temperature in the room dropped to freezing point. However, when these two words are used between father and son, they are so disgusting and frightening..."

Before the lingering sound, the fourth elder brother closed his eyes and slowly curled up, as if he was enduring some great pain.

"Yinzhen," Su Wei pursed his lips tightly, suppressed the soreness in his heart, and stretched out his hand to hug the person who was bent over and curled up on the couch, "you still have me, I have been standing By your side, don't fight alone..."

Su Wei buried his face on the fourth elder brother's back, the heat in his eyes brought his love for this person, and it was deeply ironed in the blood of the two of them.At this moment, Su Wei finally knew what the fourth elder brother's nightmare was like.

For more than 20 years, no matter how lofty Lord Kangxi is, he has an irreplaceable sacred position in the hearts of every prince.The emperor, the father, this is the innate pride of the princes, the backbone supporting the Aixinjueluo family, and even the whole world in Manchuria.

Whether it's the prince, elder brother, or the fourth master of their family, even though they have all kinds of complaints against the imperial father, they still can't escape the admiration and admiration in the end, and the inescapable love of flesh and blood.But it is precisely because of such deep and strong feelings that when the truth is revealed, the shock and pain that will engulf is likely to bring disaster to a person and a family.

"Xiaowei, do you know?" After a moment of silence in the room, the fourth elder brother raised his head in a daze, looking at the endless darkness in front of him, and countless familiar images flashed in his mind, "Ever since I was sensible, I have always envied the second brother, I envy the eldest brother. Because no matter how hard the brothers behind us try, Huang Ama will never leave his eyes away from these two people. Later, Huang Erniang told me that when the eldest brother and the second brother were born, the world was unstable and the front was uneven. Several elder brothers died in a row. The arrival of the two of them is like hope to Huang Ama, like a torch lit in the dark night. With the Kangxi dynasty having a son, and the eldest son, Huang Ama has a reliance. 20 Over the years, I have watched Huang Ama teach my eldest brother and second brother carefully, asking about everything, and gradually cultivate the two into dragons and phoenixes. But now... I have been thinking recently, if one day, Huang Ama will look at you Turning to me, will it be more cold-blooded and ruthless?"

"No, no," Su Weizheng was stunned, and hugged the fourth elder brother's back, "We are not sure what the emperor thinks. Maybe the emperor didn't deal with Suo'etu because of his relationship with the prince. Points. Master, don't think about it, take a good rest, and everything will pass after you sleep."

The next day, the southern patrol army rose up.On the ninth day of October, I traveled to Mount Tai, and Brother Thirteen went to offer sacrifices.After the sacrifice, the emperor did not continue to go south, but ordered to return to Beijing.The prince was left in Dezhou to recuperate, and Suo'etu was ordered to serve him by his side.

After returning to Beijing, the rumors that the fourth elder brother was not valued by the emperor gradually arose.Lord Kangxi no longer ordered the fourth brother to work in the South Study Room, and he didn't even summon him alone for half a month.

The end-of-month supplies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were directly downgraded. Seeing the servant who came to deliver the things with his proud tail up, Su Wei just curled his lips contemptuously, and let the person lift the things and leave, and shut him down neatly. outside the door.Anyway, he doesn't have the heart to mock those powerful eyes now, let's watch them shrink their necks and tremble in front of him later.At this time, the coldness of the emperor and the isolation of the court are the key to safety.

Si Fujin thought about what Concubine De had explained before, and wanted to speak to Si elder brother again, but the strange atmosphere in the mansion made her quickly realize that this was not a good time to discuss these issues.If the fourth elder brother does not earn his status in front of the emperor, Honghui's future will definitely be affected.As for Concubine De, she probably wouldn't ask the emperor for someone for the fourth elder brother at this time.

In November, the prince recovered and returned to Beijing with Suo'etu.

Siye's Mansion, which had been silent for a long time, was suddenly brightly lit one night, and a series of torches carried a bloody man who had fallen at the back door of Siye's Mansion into the East Courtyard.

When the fourth elder brother walked out of the bedroom in his clothes, Fu Nai was taking the pulse of the injured.The injured man saw the fourth elder brother and was still struggling to stand up and salute.

Su Wei came out from behind, looking at the blood man on the ground very strangely, "Who is this man?"

Fu Nai looked at Su Wei, then at the fourth elder brother, with a troubled expression on his face, "Master, this is Wei Jingguo who has been lurking by Shao Gan's side."
