Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 42 years

At the beginning of September, the sage returned to Luang.

The fourth elder brother waited until the outskirts of Beijing to meet him. Su Wei stood behind the crowd, looking at Lord Kangxi who was worshiped by everyone from a distance, feeling chills in his heart.

His Royal Highness the Prince who was accompanying him only briefly showed his face, his pale face and thin body made people feel embarrassing.On the contrary, King Zhijun was in high spirits, leading his team proudly, and followed the emperor all the way back to the palace with the support of his ministers.

"Fourth brother," Yinxiang and Yinti rode their horses to the side of fourth elder brother, and the three of them walked side by side.

"Is this northern tour going smoothly? I see that the prince's expression is still not good," the fourth elder brother asked the two younger brothers, tightening the reins.

The fourteenth elder brother looked into the distance and lowered his voice, "Second brother complained of illness all the way, and he didn't go out a few times when he arrived at the palace. During Mulan's autumn hunting, it was the eldest brother who received the Mongolian nobles."

"Second brother is not in good health, and Huang Ama is not in high spirits," said the thirteenth elder brother from the side, "When the Horqin tribe came, Huang Ama met once, and there was no banquet, and the eldest brother was behind. We hosted a banquet for a few days."

The fourth elder brother nodded thoughtfully, and then said to the thirteenth elder brother with a calm expression, "Your daughter-in-law is seeing the full moon, this time I will go back to the palace and prepare well. I will ask Fujin to enter the palace to help manage the full moon ceremony."

"Thank you fourth brother," Yinxiang smiled and cupped his hands.

The fourteenth elder brother raised the corners of his lips, leaned into the fourth elder brother's ear and whispered, "fourth elder brother, I heard that Huang Ama sent a decree all the way back to Beijing to fill people in your house, your backyard Is there still no movement?"

"Take care of yourself," the fourth elder brother turned around and glared at Yinti, "You're going to be a father now, so let's see how I deal with you!"

Yinqi pursed his mouth, pulled the rein and dodged to the side.

On the fifth day of September, Yumen listened to the government, and the issue of the handling of Suo'etu's party was put on the agenda again. However, the proposals of all the ministers were blocked by Lord Kangxi.The three elder brothers who received the secret decree a few days ago were all silent in the court hall, and the return papers handed by the fourth elder brother were like nothing.

Whether the emperor will be soft-hearted for a while, and whether the Hesheli family can make a comeback, when both inside and outside the court are entangled in this issue, the fourteenth elder brother's Ge Geshu felt that Luo's family gave birth to a little elder brother.

The eldest son of the fourteenth elder brother, both the concubine De and the fourth elder brother attach great importance to it.The fourth master's mansion prepared generous gifts, and Sifujin went to the palace to visit in person, but the concubine De seized another nagging, and Sifujin had no choice but to say yes.

Si Ye's mansion, the fourth elder brother accepted Nian Gengyao's and Zhang Tingyu's invitations, and the two came to see him together.

Standing behind the fourth elder brother, Su Wei saw that these two people clearly entered the door together, the difference in age was not too big, but their behavior and behavior were clearly divided, which was very funny.

"Lianggong is studying in the Shuchang Hall this year, so he should be admitted to the Imperial Academy. Heng Chen happens to be a lecturer at the Imperial Academy. The two of you know each other from this, and you can talk easily under the same roof in the future," the fourth elder brother leaned on the bench , with a gentle face.

"Introduced by Lord Robert." Nian Gengyao bowed to the fourth elder brother, turned around and cupped his hands at Zhang Tingyu, "Nian Gengyao, who was born late, was named Lianggong, and met Mr. Zhang."

"Brother Nian is very polite. My surname is Zhang, my name is Tingyu, and my name is Hengchen. I will be on duty in the future. I hope you can give me some advice." Zhang Tingyu replied politely.

Su Wei got goosebumps all over his body from the sourness, but the fourth elder brother was very calm, "With more friendship as a colleague, things will naturally be much easier. When I accompanied Huang Ama on the southern tour at the beginning of the year, I got a lot of advice from Mr. Zhang. Now Zhang Old Zhi Shi, Heng Chen can come to Baylor Mansion whenever he has something to do in the future."

"Thank you, Si Bei Le, for your appreciation," Zhang Tingyu leaned over and said, "I was introduced by my father to join Lord Baylor's family. In the future, Lord Baylor will give you instructions, and I will do my best."

The fourth elder brother nodded in satisfaction, and he accepted Zhang Tingyu's gift and rewarded him with many good things.After Zhang Tingyu expressed his loyalty, he withdrew at the right time, frankly and frankly making Su Wei speechless, when did their fourth master become so popular?

Nian Gengyao watched the whole process, and didn't seem to have much interest in this future senior colleague. After Zhang Tingyu left, he told the fourth elder brother the purpose of his trip, "My father has been acting as the governor of Huguang since the resignation of Mr. Guo Xiu, but now As I am getting older and exhausted, I sent a letter saying that I want to say goodbye to the emperor, so I sent my servant to ask Lord Baylor."

The fourth elder brother thought for a moment, then said slowly, "It's okay, the elder brother has made a lot of achievements in Huguang, and the queen Ama will not treat you poorly after returning to Beijing. I think you will not stay long after you enter the Imperial Academy. But if it is released, it can be regarded as a successor.”

"Master Baylor is very considerate," Nian Gengyao leaned over, "After the slave enters the Imperial Academy, Lord Belle will be promoted more. In the future, he will be successful in his work, so he will devote himself to his master."

The fourth elder brother bent the corners of his lips and nodded slightly.

Zhang Bao sent Nian Gengyao out, Su Wei was a little confused, "That Zhang Tingyu is quite neat, why is he suddenly going to worship under the master's door? Is it because of his father's recommendation during the southern tour?"

The fourth elder brother shook his head, "Zhang Ying is notoriously dislikes power struggles, but Zhang Tingyu has already stood on the opposite side of the crown prince before the fire scene. Now Zhang Ying is sure that the master has not yet been involved in the battle for succession, so she decides to fight for power. Send your own son to the door. Generally speaking, it is safer to follow the master than to follow the elder brother."

"Oh," Su Wei suddenly realized, and then said as if thinking of something, "Master called the two of them together, did he intend to suppress Nian Gengyao's spirit?"

"You are smart," the fourth elder brother smiled. "Didn't you tell me that Nian Gengyao is quite arrogant? Now he is entering the Imperial Academy. If there is no accident, his career will not be bad in the future with his ability. Zhang Tingyu After Zhang Ying, and more senior than Nian Gengyao, I really want him to sharpen Nian Gengyao's temperament."

"But I don't think it will be of much use," Su Wei pouted, "Zhang Tingyu is too literati, and he doesn't match up with Nian Gengyao at all. If he wants to suppress Nian Gengyao, he has to find someone else."

The fourth elder brother blinked, and nodded noncommittally.

In mid-September, an imperial decree was passed down from the palace that Lord Kangxi would tour the mountains and provinces in the west in October, with Prince Yinreng, Sanbeile Yinzhi, and the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang accompanying him.For this ninth-five-year-old who couldn't rest for a moment, Grand Duke Su had no other choice but to roll his eyes.

Seeing that the Holy Majesty is not in the capital on the Golden Festival, the ministers suggested to celebrate it earlier, and Lord Kangxi will play it.Then on September 21, clan relatives and relatives, civil and military officials entered the palace for a banquet.

"This time Mulan Qiuxiong, Yinyi has a lot of credit." At the banquet, Lord Kangxi seemed slightly drunk, "After I returned to Beijing, I received many compliments from various Mongolian ministries. Since the entry of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Mongolian marriage is an old system, and there have been some omissions in recent years. I intend to increase my closeness, and there are two princesses in the palace who have reached the marriageable age, and the elder brother's eldest daughter happened to be married together."

Yinbi's body froze, and the wine glass he was holding almost fell off, and the princes who were watching the theater everywhere also fell silent at this moment.

Most of the royal clan's daughters were married to various Mongolian ministries, even including the biological daughter of the current Holy Majesty, everyone knows.But since the Kangxi Dynasty, it is the first case that the prince's daughter was accused of marriage.Master Kangxi's magical stroke broke the fluke in the hearts of the sons.

As for the elder brother, whether the emperor's move is a reward or a punishment is unpredictable.

"Master," when everyone at the banquet had their own thoughts, Su Wei secretly poked the fourth elder brother, "I'll go to the latrine."

The fourth elder brother rolled his eyes at him, "Go and come back quickly!"

Su Wei agreed, turned around and walked out of Baohe Hall lightly. In the darkness, a figure came out of Rijing Gate and walked towards Shou'an Palace.

Su Wei's miraculous move, after meeting Nian Gengyao with him before, has been thinking about Longkodo.During the whole banquet, Eunuch Su was staring at Longkodo, thinking hard about how to draw this man into the fourth elder brother's camp.As a result, he accidentally discovered that Longkodo was unusually absent-minded that night.

In the side hall of Yuhua Pavilion, Longkoduo, who was in a hurry all the way, stopped at the door, looked at the people by the window and was silent for a while, "Ye Ruo..."

"Brother, long time no see," the imperial concubine Tong Jiashi turned around with a calm expression.

Long Ke Duozheng was stunned for a moment, his palms hurting from being clenched, "Ye Ruo, I'm sorry for you, the death of Princess Wen Xian made you suffer again."

Tong Jiashi gently pursed the corners of her lips, and said with a slight smile, "It's just a few cold eyes from Concubine De, I'm used to it, so it's not suffering."

Longkodo lowered his head, but he didn't dare to take a step forward from the beginning to the end, and the air seemed to be stagnant for a while.

"Brother doesn't have to be like this," Tong Jiashi sighed softly, "I'm here today to ask my brother to bring a word to the family."

Long Kedo raised his head, his brows were slightly puzzled, Tong Jiashi pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice, "The East Palace has not changed, forgive my daughter for not being able to find a reserve position, and please read it from Ye Ruo's point." Work hard and don't embarrass my family."

Longkodo tensed up, and looked at Ye Ruodao in disbelief, "It's me, Ama, who forced you to work for him in the palace?"

Ye Ruo lowered his head and stroked the jade bracelet on his hand, "Now that I am a noble concubine, at least I am the head of the six palaces. How can my uncle turn a blind eye to it? However, my uncle also underestimated Ye Ruo too much. Ye Ruo doesn't want to be controlled by others. My identity as a fake clan girl is a double-edged sword."

"Don't worry," Longkodo pursed his lips, "I won't let Ama move your family, you protect yourself and don't act impulsively, I'll go back and make arrangements."

"Cousin," Ye Ruo whispered when Longkodo turned around, and the change of address made Longkodo's clenched fist slowly loosen.

Tong Jiashi walked behind Long Kedo, and lowered his voice to the lowest, "The crown prince's position can't be kept, the heart of the Holy Majesty is in a place where all the officials can't predict. Suo'etu is gone, Nalan Mingzhu is old, Tong Jia's tree is big, My cousin’s own future needs to be arranged early.”

The conversation in the house came to an end, and Longkodo left at night.Grandpa Su, who was confused, moved his numb legs and walked out of Yuhua Pavilion, but when he turned a corner, a dagger was caught around his neck.

"Liu Yu, be careful, if you dare to touch me with your blade, I promise you won't be able to eat it!" In the hut with only one oil lamp on, Su Wei's eyes widened, and he pretended Eunuch Liu who is deaf and dumb.

"Eunuch Su, it's better for you to keep your voice down," Liu An, the head of Chengqian Palace, walked out of the darkness slowly, with an old fox-like smile on his lips.

"Hey, Chief Manager Liu is here," Su Wei raised his eyebrows, "I dare you to worry about it, you stupid apprentice who is not very successful."

"Eunuch Su," Liu Yu interjected, "At least we have a relationship with Zhengsan Institute. Today, you should listen to what you shouldn't. It's better to be honest."

"Cut," Su Wei gave Liu Yu a disdainful look, "I can't talk to you, call Aunt Huanyue!"

Baohua Palace, the banquet is coming to an end.

The fourth elder brother frowned and looked outside the door. It's been almost an hour, why hasn't this toilet guy come back yet? "Zhang Bao!"

"Master," Zhang Bao stepped forward.

"It's been an hour since you went to look for Su Peisheng—" Before he finished speaking, two guards ran into the side door, and the fourth elder brother felt a thump in his heart.

Fortunately, the guards did not come to the fourth elder brother, but whispered a few words next to the Zong Ling of the clan's mansion.Zong Ling's face was heavy, he thought for a while, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I report to the Holy Majesty that Zuo Zong of the clan's mansion is here to report that the guilty minister Suo'etu passed away in prison."
