Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 42 years

At the end of April, the southern tour army arrived in Beijing.

The sage returned to Luan, and all the ministers greeted him. Beijing seemed to be extraordinarily quiet.Lord Kangxi did not stay in the palace for a long time, after staying for two days, he was entrusted by the Empress Dowager to live in Changchun Garden.

After the fourth elder brother returned home, Chang Lai, Shen Tingzheng and others began to come and go frequently.Nian Gengyao and Zhang Tingyu handed in invitations one after another, but they were put aside by the fourth elder brother.

Su Wei learned from his master early in the morning that the editor Chen Menglei participated in the Zhili Governor Li Guangdi's party for personal gain and conspired with Suo'etu to reserve the throne, but the emperor did not pay attention to it.But now, this book, which should have been lost forever, is in the hands of the fourth elder brother.

"My lord, why didn't you return it to the emperor?" Su Wei threw the booklet away with a bit of disgust, "I always think it's not a good thing."

The fourth elder brother curled his mouth weakly, "This folder was handed to me by Huang Ama, Huang Ama didn't say anything, why did you return it?"

Su Wei blinked incomprehensibly, leaned his chin half on the desk of the fourth elder brother, thought hard for a long time and said, "You people have become masters, a simple thing has to be so complicated, your majesty If you have something to tell, just say it directly, if it were me, I would definitely not be able to understand."

"If you're not in your position, you don't plan for your own affairs." The fourth elder brother smiled, and poked Su Wei's cheek. "Sometimes, our grandpa Su is still very smart."

Su Wei laughed twice, and scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, "Did you say something about Shiyue's father? Actually, it's thanks to my help..."

The fourth elder brother narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned back on the chair, and said in a rather unpredictable tone, "Our Eunuch Su is still interested. After Huang Ama bestowed a fan poem, did Mrs. Wu come to you? But the leader Have you lost your love?"

Su Wei swallowed, and turned his head to look at the fourth elder brother belatedly. The hairs on his neck pricked his scalp, and it was a little cold and itchy.

"Master, the main thing is to be kind to the master. I didn't go to the backyard after I came back, hehe, hehehe..." Everyone said that Yongzheng was moody, and it seemed true. Could it be that he hadn't reached his thirties yet? Menopause?

Three Baylor House

The third elder brother was leaning on the couch, and there were several manuscripts piled up on the kang table in front of him, and Zhou Changyan, the doorman, stood by and waited on him, "Master, this is newly submitted by Editor Chen. The progress of "Compilation" seems to be slow recently. some."

The third elder brother opened a book and looked at it carefully, "There is no rush in repairing books. With Zezhen's talent, I am not afraid that he will be slow, but I am afraid that he will be careless."

"My lord said that," Zhou Changyan bowed his head slightly, "Once the "Compilation" is written, it must be a masterpiece that will remain in history. Compared with the Yongle Canon, it may not be half inferior."

The third elder brother bent the corners of his lips, with a slightly smug expression on his face.

"Master Belle," Zhou Changyan said in a low voice after seeing that the third elder brother's expression softened a lot, "Chen edited the papers handed over to the emperor, but you ordered it? I heard that the emperor has frequently praised Li Guangdi for governing Zhili in recent days." You Fang, it doesn’t seem like you have any intention of blaming him.”

The third elder brother glanced at Zhou Changyan with his head turned, and his words were silent, "The grievances between Zezhen and Li Guangdi, Huang Ama is very clear in his heart. Li Guangdi is now a big official in the frontier, and Zezhen is still a small editor. It can be seen what is more important in Ama's heart. It is Li Guangdi's actions in Beijing that makes me quite surprised..."

At the beginning of May, news came from central Beijing that Prince Yu Fuquan was seriously ill, and the emperor returned to the palace from Changchun Garden to visit him in person.The fourth elder brother and others all submitted greeting cards, but because the prince was seriously ill, the clan members could not enter the mansion to see him.

On the third day of the fifth lunar month, the imperial gate listened to the government, the emperor looked sad, and all the ministers came to comfort him.

The fourth elder brother stood among the princes, glanced at the third elder brother who had just spoken, and stepped forward, "Huang Ama, Prince Yu has been a soldier all his life, and has fought against Galdan several times. Now the prince has been ill for a long time, and my son wants to ask for help." The prince wrote a book and said, collecting the ancient and modern art of war and the life of the prince, leaving a shocking book, which will not only leave the name of the prince in history, but also benefit future generations."

"Okay," Lord Kangxi pursed his lips slightly, and nodded, "Prince Yu has been ill for a long time, so doing things that benefit the world can also accumulate some good luck. It's just a matter of gathering the essence of military art, who can take on this important task?"

"There is only one candidate for my son," said the fourth elder brother, cupping his hands.

"Tell me," Lord Kangxi straightened his body.

"Editor at Sanbeile's residence, Chen Menglei," as soon as the fourth elder brother finished speaking, the third elder brother tightened his body and looked up at the emperor.

"Well, editor Chen has a unique vision and a full stomach of literary talents, which is really suitable," Master Kangxi nodded.

"Huang Ama," the third elder brother stepped forward and said, "It is a literati's fortune to write a book for Prince Yu, but now that the prince is sick and sick, I am afraid that he can no longer spend his mind on other things, and the key to the art of war It's not just talking about war on paper, so I ask the emperor to think twice."

"Yinzhi is also reasonable," said Lord Kangxi lightly, "this matter is postponed until I ask Prince Yu before discussing it. Yinzhen has thought deeply about the emperor's uncle, which is a commendation. I just won the "Sixth Tao "Song Ben, I will give it to you."

"Thank you, Emperor Ama, for your kindness," the fourth elder brother saluted and thanked, before getting up, he glanced at the third elder brother with a slightly cold face.

Siye Mansion, Fujin Courtyard

Several princesses paid homage to Fujin, and sat down separately. Fujin looked at Li Shi and Shiyue, and said in a calm tone, "You two went out with Lord Baylor, and it was hard work for more than two months. Do you feel unwell when you come back? "

"Lao Fujin is worried," Mrs. Li nodded slightly, "I am ashamed of myself. I was not acclimatized along the way, and I didn't serve well. I failed to spread the leaves for the family. It's not as good as Sister Wu. Anyway, my mother's family fought for the face of Lord Belle .”

"Oh?" Fujin lightly raised his eyebrows, "Shiyue, what's going on, tell me."

Shiyue glanced at Li Shi, pursed the corners of her lips, got up and saluted Fujin, "It's all thanks to Lord Baylor's kindness, and my concubine's father got the fan poem from the imperial court, but my father is just a small county magistrate, so he can't be said to be a good friend." There is a fight for face in the house, so I just ask not to cause trouble to Lord Baylor."

"Shiyue is too modest." Fujin turned and picked up the tea bowl without moving his face, "It is a great event for the emperor to get the gift from the emperor, even for ordinary people, not to mention that your father is the head of a county. In the future, as long as you Work hard, and you will be promoted to a noble rank just around the corner. However, you are already a member of the Baylor Mansion, so the family lintel should be less dirty, so as not to cause gossip."

"Yes, Shiyue would like to listen to Fujin's teachings," Shiyue bowed and saluted.

Fujin nodded, and looked up at the people in the house, "Nowadays, our inner courtyard's major event is to open up branches and leaves for Lord Belle, and all other small thoughts are restrained. If something bad comes out, don't blame Fujin No talk of sisterhood."

Li's complexion was slightly cold, and Song, Geng and others got up and took orders.

The fourth elder brother returned home, and Su Wei was a little depressed when he learned about all the things in the court.

"What's wrong?" The fourth elder brother patted Eunuch Su's buttocks, and pulled him into his arms, "Someone messed with you?"

"Well," Su Wei nodded angrily, turned around and said to the fourth elder brother, "The emperor treats you as a gunman, why are you so obedient, and let the third elder brother turn his head to stare at you, isn't it asking for trouble? "

The fourth elder brother sighed helplessly, "The situation in Beijing and China is tense now, and Huang Ama doesn't want more princes to be involved in this struggle. Such an arrangement is also a helpless move. The day the master took the note, he understood in his heart, If the master doesn't want to agree, just return the booklet as you said."

Su Wei frowned, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "The third elder brother is also strange, hasn't he been very quiet after being demoted to Baylor? He is not honestly compiling books, why come out to join in the fun?"

The fourth elder brother shook his head, turned back to the table and picked up Chen Menglei's booklet and looked at it, "Actually, it may not be that the third brother wants to join in, but Chen Menglei has been walking in the third brother's house, and recently he has the support of the third brother to compile a series of books." , if the book he entered says that the third brother is completely ignorant, it is unlikely. In any case, Huang Ama is unwilling to entangle with other princes any more this time."

Su Wei blinked his eyes twice, and a chill suddenly surged in his heart, "The emperor is going to make a big move, isn't it?"

The fourth elder brother turned his head to look at Su Wei, pursed his lips lightly, but did not answer.

On the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, Lord Kangxi announced to all his ministers and the provincial governors, saying that among the troops stationed in the provinces, those who served as military officers at the grassroots level, such as Qian Zong, were all supplementary records, and there were very few meritorious ones.Therefore, it was ordered that this kind of personnel should only come to Beijing in winter, and be supervised by ministers for trial.Those who fail to arrive at the capital within the time limit will be dismissed immediately.

After the imperial decree, the whole court was in an uproar. In the Qing Dynasty, the green battalion was organized. a group of people.After such a large-scale selection and replacement, the military power that was originally formed in the dark is bound to be shaken to its foundation, or even changed.

However, in the eyes of the fourth elder brother, this matter is not only as simple as the change of military power, the governors of the provinces rushed to the capital, which means that any military operations manipulated in the dark will be restricted during this period.The big action Su Wei talked about seems to be happening soon.

On May [-]th, Lord Kangxi visited Prince Yu's mansion for the second time. Prince Yu, who was about to die, did not rest in bed, but leaned on the couch.

Lord Kangxi approached the inner room silently, dismissed the servants who were waiting on him, picked up the booklet and read it carefully.

Prince Yu groped his way to the side of the couch, only to see clearly the bright yellow robe, "Old minister, to the emperor—"

"Brother, you don't need to be too polite." Kangxi supported Prince Yu in time, and used a pillow to cushion Fu's body. "Brother is not in good health, why should this be so?" Master Kangxi squeezed the fold in his hand, as if it weighed a thousand catties.

Prince Yu's eyes are cloudy, and he always has to focus for a while before he can see the person in front of him clearly, "This is the last thing I can do for the emperor... Guangshanku is corrupt and shakes the foundation of the country, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs uses the public to seek personal gain. I know..."

Lord Kangxi nodded again and again, sat down beside Prince Yu, and sighed softly, "Brother needs to take care of himself, there are fewer and fewer people around me..."

Prince Yu's lips twitched, and finally, after looking at Lord Kangxi for a while, his voice became weaker and weaker, "Your Majesty...haven't made up your mind yet?"

Lord Kangxi glanced at Prince Yu and shook his head slowly.

Prince Yu looked out of the window and coughed a few times, "The East Palace has lost its morals and is unbearable to take on great responsibilities... The old minister sees the prince... Eighth elder brother has a good heart, so don't boast. He did his best in Dongyue Temple. The emperor can test him... "

Lord Kangxi frowned, looked at Prince Yu who was so angry, and nodded slightly.

On May [-]th, the weather was muggy and unpleasant, and Su Wei was lying on the side of the couch with his tongue out.

The fourth elder brother threw him impatiently with the dates on the table, "Be honest, you are not a dog, what are you doing halahala?"

"It's so boring." Su Wei sat up thumpingly, without shoes on, and ran outside to bring a plate of iced pears, "Master, let's eat something iced, it's stuffy and hot."

"Take it here," the fourth elder brother closed the pages of the book and loosened the collar.

Su Wei cheerfully carried the plate over, before a piece of white pear was put into his mouth, Zhang Bao lifted the curtain and entered, "Master! Something happened!"

The emperor ordered the ministers of the bodyguards and the ministers of Shuo Ertu, Shang Zhilong, etc. to send an edict to all the ministers, "I have no intention of repenting after looking at Suo Ertu. I complain behind my back and talk about state affairs. I know all the parties in Yi. Ku Li, Wen Dai, Shao Gan, Tong Baoyi, etc. form a party to discuss state affairs and intimidate everyone... Suo Etu's party Amida, E Kuli, Wen Dai, Martu, Tong Bao, and Shao Gan's ancestors and grandchildren are in the department. All the people in the courtyard found out that Ge Tui... told the adults at the door and all the guards that if you walk around Suo'etu, you will be implicated to death by Suo'etu..."
