Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 42 years

At the end of March, the imperial boat passed through Qingkou and parked in Huai'an Mansion.

The emperor summoned the fourth elder brother to accompany him for a stroll along the embankment, and Su Wei followed behind the princes, watching the graceful spring scenery on the banks of the willows, while secretly lamenting how good it is to be able to walk down-to-earth on the road.

"Since ancient times, the south of the Yangtze River has been a land of fish and rice. We have just entered Jiangsu, and we can already see some affluence." Kangxi climbed up several steps and stood on a high bank with his hands behind his back.

The fourth elder brother followed behind, lowered his head and replied, "I have learned about the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River from poetry since I was a child, now that I am out with Huang Ama, I can see this misty and bustling place with my own eyes, it is really worthwhile. "

Lord Kangxi curled his lips, "People in the world see Jiangnan's tenderness and affection, but they don't know that Jiangnan is also full of heroes and masculinity. In terms of the world situation, Jiangnan is an important place for military strategists. To win Jiangnan is to win half of the country."

"Huang Ama's holy words," the fourth elder brother thought for a while, leaned over and cupped his hands and said, "My son remembers that I once said, 'There is nothing in the world that is weaker than water, and no one can attack the strong first'. Moisturizing everything and covering heavy mountains with rain, this is probably the characteristic of Jiangnan."

Master Kangxi glanced at the fourth elder brother, and nodded in relief, "Everything in the world is as soft as it is firm, and vice versa. You can't just look at one side of everything—"

"Your Majesty," Liang Jiugong bowed and went up to the high platform, "There is an urgent memorial from the capital."

Lord Kangxi squinted his eyes, took a look at the memorial, and passed it to the fourth elder brother after a while.

The fourth elder brother was stunned, and leaned over to take it, "Huang Ama, this is...Chen Menglei playing Li Guangdi?"

Master Kangxi pursed the corners of his lips, without any change on his face, and looked into the distance with his hands behind his back, "Fourth, have you heard about the past grievances between Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei?"

"My son has heard about it," the fourth elder brother bowed his head slightly, "Master Li monopolized the credit for the transmission of wax pills, which caused Xu Bianxiu to be charged as a traitor in San Francisco and was almost exiled. In 37 years, Huang Ama Shengjing summoned him, returned his innocence, and summoned him to work in Beijing, and now he seems to be walking in the Third Brother's residence."

Lord Kangxi nodded, bowed his head and rolled up his sleeves, "Then you know, why didn't I punish Li Guangdi for deceiving the emperor when I retained Chen Menglei?"

The fourth elder brother was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "I dare not make wild guesses, Huang Ama's decision must have been carefully considered."

Lord Kangxi bent his lips, "Actually, it's not difficult to figure out. Li Guangdi is an able minister to rule the world, and Chen Menglei is a writer. Now they are doing their own things and making the best of their talents. They are the best for me and the court."

"But," the fourth elder brother frowned slightly, "Master Li once deceived the emperor and judged his friends, didn't Huang Ama—"

"Yinzhen," Lord Kangxi interrupted the fourth elder brother, "no matter how capable a minister is, he is just an ordinary person. A person will have desires and greed. A person who has no desires and desires is useless. For the king The main thing is to make good use of it, not to be demanding.”

The fourth elder brother looked dazed, bowed his body and said, "Huang Ama Huiyan, my son has benefited a lot."

Lord Kangxi nodded, and looked down the steps, "You have been building a mansion for some time, and there are many people around you, but this father-in-law who follows you is an old face. I'm by your side."

"Yes," the fourth elder brother pursed the corners of his lips, "Su Peisheng was bestowed upon by the emperor's mother, and has been by his side since he inherited the Qian Palace."

"That's how it is," Lord Kangxi raised his eyebrows, "Your mother-in-law's vision has always been good, so the eunuch must have been with you for so long."

The fourth elder brother didn't answer, just nodded slightly.

At this time, Eunuch Su at the bottom of the steps was standing with his waist down, but his eyes were wandering around uncontrollably. It wasn't until the two eunuchs led several officials over on the corridor not far away that they breathed out secretly. .

Huai'an Ferry

Several dragon boats were moored, and after the Southern Patrol Army transferred to small boats, several attendant elder brothers were divided into separate boats, and the fourth elder brother's boat stopped behind the Prince Yuzhou.

At the foot of the boat, a wooden window was half-opened, and a beautiful figure stood behind the gauze curtain.

"My lord," Xu'er looked out curiously, "Is this your hometown? I heard from the girls that my lord's father works in Shanyang County, Huai'an Prefecture."

Shiyue bent her lips, looked at the willows on the shore not far away, and said in a soft voice, "I went to Beijing with my parents when I was very young, and I don't have much impression of my hometown, but my father always mentioned the long alleys. The stone road covered with moss is probably a small town in the south of the Yangtze River."

Xu'er nodded suddenly, her eyes shining brightly, "It would be great if I could go out for a walk with the young master. The water is moist everywhere here, and it looks so beautiful from the window. The house, the small bridge and the capital are a little bit different." It's all different."

"You are just playful," Shiyue poked Xu'er's forehead amusedly, "We are family members of the family, how can we go out at will, let alone follow the emperor on tour, it's better to be honest."

"Yes," Xu'er stuck out her tongue and smiled at Shiyue, "However, although I can't go out, I can still ask the guards to go ashore. Do you want to send a letter to the family, or send something? This place should be very close to Shanyang, just ask the guards to go there."

Shiyue was stunned for a while, and finally, she shook her head slightly, "I don't want it anymore. My father is a local official anyway, so he should have enough food and clothing. There are too many people on the dragon boat, so let's not make more troubles."

"Yes," Xu'er pursed her lips, and rubbed her shoes on the ground, "In the blink of an eye, we have been out with Lord Baylor for more than a month, and Lord Baylor is also surprised that he took the two princesses out on a tour, but he has been resting by himself—"

"Xu'er," Shiyue interrupted the little girl's muttering, "We are going on tour with Lord Baylor and the emperor, so we must be careful about what we say and do. If others listen to your words, you won't have to use your little brain." wanted."

"I know I was wrong," Xu'er lowered her head and pouted. Shiyue shook her head and turned to look out the window.

In the evening, lanterns were lit on the leading dragon boat, and the sound of singing and music came from afar.

Mrs. Li was sitting in her own cabin, tasting all kinds of Jiangnan dishes on the round table, the emperor entertained all the princes and ministers, and the family members who stayed in the boat also enjoyed the holy grace.

"Little master," Xi'er hurriedly stepped into the door.

"Why are you in such a panic?" Li frowned and put down the chopsticks.

"Little master, this servant just heard someone say it." Xi'er's face was panicked, but his words were quite faltering.

"What did you hear?" Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows, "Don't hesitate."

"Yes," Xi'er swallowed, "I heard from the guard outside that the emperor rewarded the magistrate of Shanyang County with a fan poem today."

"Isn't it just a poem?" Li picked up the small soup bowl and gave Xi'er a white look.

"My lord, you forgot," Xi'er said with a bitter face, "Wu Gege's father is the county magistrate in Shanyang."

Li Shi was startled, and the white porcelain soup bowl in his hand fell to the ground, and the slightly hot white fungus and longan soup splashed the corners of his skirt.

"Little master," Xi'er knelt down on the ground, hanging her head, not knowing what to do.

Mrs. Li was silent for a long while, and said with a suppressed voice, "What's going on, tell me in detail."

Wu's cabin

Shiyue looked at the boy who came to ask for the reward in astonishment, and asked in disbelief, "Did the emperor reward my father with fan poetry?"

"Returning to my lord, it's absolutely true," said Xiao Fuzi leaning over, "I heard from the guards that the master of Shanyang County followed the magistrate of Huai'an Prefecture to pay homage to the Holy Majesty, and the magistrate specially reported the peaceful and bumper harvest of Shanyang County in the past two years. The emperor was so happy that he rewarded the fan with the imperial brush. Later, when the servants inquired, they found out that the county master was the young master's father."

Shiyue still sat at the table in a daze, while Xuer knelt down and said with a smile on her face, "Congratulations, young master, congratulations, young master, with the emperor's imperial pen, our master's career in the future will definitely be smooth sailing."

Shiyue looked at Xu'er, resisted the strangeness in her heart and said, "It's the emperor's great favor, and it's also the blessing of Lord Belle. Xu'er, give me two silver coins."

"Yes," Xu'er jumped up, and Xiao Fuzi thankfully accepted the reward and withdrew.

"My lord," Xu'er walked up to Shiyue, with an indelible smile on her lips.

Shiyue pursed her lips, raised her head and said to Xu'er, "Is Eunuch Su back?"

"Not yet," Xu'er shook her head, "Eunuch Su accompanied the fourth elder brother to a banquet in front, so he must not have come back so early."

Shiyue nodded and sighed softly.

The southern tour army stayed at Huai'an Mansion for a day, then passed Shaobo and entered Yangzhou.

I think that Su Wei lived for more than [-] years in his previous life, but he never had the opportunity to play in the land of fish and rice, where there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.After passing Yangzhou, Luan drove all the way to Suzhou and then to Hangzhou. Su Dagong, who got rid of seasickness, has experienced an eye addiction.

It has to be said that compared with the modern commercialized Wuzhen and the West Lake, which has become a footbath, Suzhou and Hangzhou at this time are like a fairyland on earth.When you come to Gusu to see you, everyone sleeps in the river.There is little idle land in the ancient palace, but there are many small bridges in the water port.If there were not a large number of guards, Luan Jia who was shouting at the front and shouting at the back, and the eunuch uniform he must wear, Grand Duke Su would have been happier.

"Have you finished playing these two days?" Fourth elder brother pulled Eunuch Su who was struggling on the bed, face to face.

"I still want to row the awning boat," Su Wei bit the quilt, "Shall we go to the awning boat to watch the stars at night? It must be different from being on the roof of the capital."

The fourth elder brother smiled helplessly, "I'm going back to Luan in a few days, Huang Ama always asks me and Yinxiang to accompany me to drive, I can't take you out privately, wait until next time, okay?"

"I don't know when it will be next time," Su Wei was a little frustrated, "I like this place, the air here is different from that in Beijing."

"Why is it different?" Brother Si raised his eyebrows.

"It's not as cold as Beijing. Although it's a bit damp, it won't make you suffocate." Su Wei shrank into the quilt. "I always feel that after returning to Beijing this time, many things will change..."

The fourth elder brother pursed the corners of his lips, did not speak, stretched out his hand and pinched Su Wei's chin, and there was no flesh left.

At the beginning of April, when Luan drove through Jiaxing, the prince received many invitations from local literati and students, so he specially gave lectures in Wangyanglou, and the literati from Jiangnan flocked to him for a while.

Wangyang Tower was bustling for three or four consecutive days, and finally the prince was able to get out of the dragon boat under the escort of the guards. Before leaving, everyone knelt and kowtowed twice, shouting that the prince is a thousand years old. Can be seen in general.

After the Qingming Festival, the Southern Tour Army officially set off to return to Beijing.

On the prince's royal boat, the urgent letter sent by Suo Xiang was burned to ashes.

"Your Highness, did something happen to Suo Xiang's preparation?" A Jintai, the commander of the prince's bodyguard, asked softly from the side.

The crown prince sat on the wooden chair, remained silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Huang Ama sent Li Guangdi back to Beijing with a secret decree, and the matter arranged by Prime Minister Suo cannot continue."

A Jintai withdrew his expression, and frowned deeply, "Then, will His Highness meet Suo in danger?"

The prince shook his head, picked up the greetings from thousands of students in the south of the Yangtze River, and pursed his lips and temples, "Huang Ama knows Li Guangdi's character, and this hall also knows the thoughts of people in the world..."

The author has something to say: It is true that the emperor bestowed a fan poem on Wuzhu Kingdom.

Huixi River turns and turbulent, and Fuling Mountain winds and falls into danger.

Relying on the lean and leaning on the cliff, relying on the lightness to overcome the steepness.

Staying to remove the hazel mang from the succulent lily, and guide the wandering track to recognize the divergence.
