Kangxi 43 years

November

Sifujin's carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, and he handed over a sign to the Yonghe Palace, but was told that Concubine De was ill and could not see anyone.

"Master, what should we do? Let's ask the Queen Mother directly, I'm afraid it's not good," Shi Yao stood beside the carriage and whispered to Si Fujin.

Si Fujin pursed her lips, raised her head slightly and took a deep breath, "I'll send someone to Chengqian Palace to hand it over once more, just saying that I want to see the imperial concubine."

"Yes," Shi Yao blessed her body, took the sign and went to the palace gate again.

Ku Kui, who followed behind, glanced at Zhang Bao, and Zhang Bao shook his head gently.

Yonghe Palace

Qingju dismissed the little eunuch who reported the news, turned around and walked into the Buddhist hall, where Concubine De was kneeling in front of the Buddhist altar, silently reciting the Lotus Sutra.

"Niang Niang," Qingju walked to Concubine De's side, and said in a low voice, "The little eunuch came to report, and Si Fujin sent someone to Chengqian Palace to pass the sign again."

"Sigh..." Concubine De put down the Buddhist beads, and sighed, "After all, I have little experience, I can't hold my breath, and the emperor still doesn't know what he wants, how can he enter the palace at this time?"

Qingju bent down to help Concubine De get up, and said with consolation, "Xu is too sad, after all, Sifujin is only this one child, and he is the eldest son, and he suddenly died when he grew up to such an age, and it is inevitable to be impulsive .”

"That's all for Fujin," Concubine De shook her head lightly, "Yinzhen didn't know how to persuade her. Now even the courtiers dare not play rashly. What can she do with a female family member coming into the palace? In the end, if the trouble is hurt If it hurts the emperor's face, isn't painting a tiger an anti-dog?"

"Your Majesty is right," Qingju helped Concubine De to sit on the couch, "Then Sifujin has entered the palace now, what should we do?"

Concubine De twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand, and said with a light breath, "You take my will to stop the person who handed the sign, and say that the imperial concubine has a lot to do, and the queen mother is not in good health, so don't let her bother you. If you have something , let her come to the Yonghe Palace to speak another day."

"Yes," Qingju leaned over to accept the order, and then said with some hesitation, "But this, will it damage the relationship between Si elder brother and your mother and child?"

Concubine De closed her eyes for a moment, put the Buddhist beads aside, turned her body sideways and said, "What I do is for the sake of the two brothers. The fourth child will understand, so go ahead."

Qingju pursed her lips, bowed her head and left in salute.

At the gate of the palace, Qing Ju brought De Concubine's will. Si Fujin's face was pale, his eyes were red, but he couldn't shed a single tear.

Seeing this, Zhang Bao and Ku Kui hurried forward and said, "Fu Jin, Lord Belle has already made this test, you and the servants should go back home."

Si Fujin pursed his lips, did not answer Zhang Bao's words, stared at Qingju and said, "Emiang is not in good health, daughter-in-law should be filial, and dare not disturb her rashly. But daughter-in-law is also Emiang, Hong Hui's body is still cold, so Ben Fujin wants to go to the palace to ask for an explanation?"

Qing Ju looked around, lowered her voice, and said, "Fu Jin, the empress also has difficulties, and it's also for the sake of Lord Baylor. The current situation is unclear, and Fujin is so reckless, I'm afraid it will backfire."

"Hmph," Si Fujin smiled with tears in his eyes, "my Honghui passed away alone, and the villains who murdered him are at large. The laws of heaven are not fair and the laws are not clear. Why should I be afraid of backfires!"

"Fujin!" Qing Ju's face darkened, "This is the gate of the palace, how many servants are watching. You don't care about yourself, you have to take care of Lord Belle's face. As the saying goes, all good filial piety comes first, and Fujin comes from everyone, so you can't openly disobey Is it the empress' will? This servant advises you to return to the mansion as soon as possible. When there is news from the palace, the empress will seek justice for the son."

"Fujin," Zhang Bao took another step forward upon hearing the words, and whispered to Sifujin, "Fujin, Lord Belle told you that your body is the most important thing in everything. You and your servants should go back to the mansion. Master Belle has already drawn up a booklet, sure." It was arranged otherwise."

Si Fujin turned his head to look at Zhang Bao, then looked back at Qingju, took a deep breath, but did not turn around to get into the carriage, but bypassed the crowd, went straight to the palace gate and knelt down, kneeling nine times Kowtow gift.

"Master," Shi Yao shed tears, helped up the crumbling Fujin, and Zhang Bao quickly set up the carriage.

Qing Ju stood aside with her head hanging down, and accidentally met Fujin's eyes, and only heard one sentence, "Aunt Lao is taking care of Er Niang's illness."

Qingju hurriedly lowered her head, and when she stood up again, the carriage had gone far away.

Siyefu

Zhang Baolai came back, and the fourth elder brother was stuffing a piece of letter paper into the envelope.

"Master, Fujin didn't talk much all the way, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to relieve the depression in his heart for a while."

"She has also done her best for Honghui," the fourth elder brother wrote her name on the envelope, "The rest depends on whether she can see it for herself. However, I did not expect that Er Niang would not even see her." I haven't seen Fujin."

"Master," Su Wei stood aside, his expression was not very good, he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it," the fourth elder brother put down his pen, handed the letter in his hand along with the folded paper to Zhang Bao, "you and Fu Nai will enter the palace again, the paper will be sent to the South Study Room, and the letter will be sent to Yuqing Palace .”

Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment, looked up at the fourth elder brother, and hurriedly leaned over to accept the order, "Your servant obeys."

When Zhang Bao stepped back, Su Wei scratched his head and said, "Master, I'm afraid that the crown prince may not be able to protect himself, right?"

The fourth elder brother leaned back in his chair, with a cold expression on his face, "It is because he cannot protect himself that he will take the initiative. He must be better than me at who instigated this incident. Wo Li Fan Shi, settle the bad debt of Yuqing Palace as soon as possible, so that we can get back together."

"My lord guessed the problem with King Zhijun." Su Wei tugged his sleeves, turned and sat on the couch, a little depressed, "If I had known today, I shouldn't have ignored He Zhou and left him alone." Fate, we can also follow the vine."

"It's useless to touch it." The fourth elder brother stroked his forehead and sighed softly, "He Zhou is just a slave, and he is also a duplicitous villain. He can't do what he says accurately."

Yuqing Palace

The prince read the letter sent by Zhang Bao, and his face was quite calm.

A Jintai, the commander of the guards, said from the sidelines, "Your Highness, why would Sibeile send you a letter at this time? Ling Pu's place has not yet been punished, and Sibeile's mansion and us are incompatible."

"You are wrong," the crown prince curled his lips, "Yinzhen is not a person who is easily deceived, he has definite news in his hand, and knows that it was the king of Zhijun who instigated him from behind."

"Then," A Jintai's eyes lit up, "can we join forces with Sibei Le to participate in the Zhijun King?"

The crown prince shook his head, "I am afraid that Yinzhen's source of information cannot provide evidence, otherwise it would not have been delayed until now. Now the only one who can accuse the king of Zhijun is the unidentified He Zhou. On our side, Ling Pu's corruption is not The evidence is conclusive. What's more, he was indeed the one who had the idea of ​​murdering the royal family. Even if someone instigates it, his guilt cannot be erased."

"Since that's the case, what's the purpose of Sibeile's message?" A Jintai frowned.

The crown prince turned around and walked behind the desk. Seeing this, Xiao Chuzi hurriedly stepped forward to grind his ink, "Yinzhen advised me to abandon the car at the right time to protect the handsome man. At this juncture, what he said is indeed reasonable."

A Jintai frowned and thought for a moment, "But, the King Zhijun has worked so hard to set up this situation, I'm afraid His Highness won't be able to withdraw easily."

"Hmph," the prince sneered, "He Zhou's appearance shows that his backyard is on fire. If he wants to frame me at this time, we have to see if he has the ability."

End of november

When there was a lot of discussion about Lord Kangxi's silence in the court, news suddenly came from the palace. The prince and Sibeile played one after another, asking for punishment for Ling Pu's crimes of embezzlement and bribery, using power for personal gain, and murdering the royal family.

That's all for the fourth elder brother, the prince's way of cutting off his own arm surprised many courtiers.

The answer given by the emperor this time was very quick, Ling Pu was removed from his post and taken into custody, and the clan's government will investigate and interrogate him.

However, the case of the attack on the fourth elder brother's family members has not yet been clarified, and many Beijing officials and eunuchs have started to impeach the Zhijun King on the grounds of He Zhou.It is not difficult to guess that this group of people is more or less instigated by the prince's faction.In contrast, another faction began to accuse Donggong of using his subordinates to amass money and conspire against others.

The confrontation between the two parties seems to have their own winners and losers, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is still silent, and has not expressed any attitude towards the factional dispute between the prince and the king of Zhijun.

This year's Laba Festival was extremely cold inside and outside the palace.

The fourth elder brother and Fujin both refused to enter the palace to have a banquet because of their illnesses. Su Wei cooked several large pots of Laba porridge, but in the end they all fell into the stomachs of the servants.

In the East Small Courtyard, the fourth elder brother practiced big characters every day until late at night, and Su Wei looked at those sharp strokes that almost leaked out of the paper every day, and his heart was dull and tense.

Qianqing Palace

Lord Kangxi was leaning on the couch, the booklets in hand piled up into two piles.

Liang Jiugong added some tranquilizing incense to the incense burner, leaned over to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the sun is going to the west today, please rest for a while, you have to go to court tomorrow, you must be too tired today."

Lord Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief, and threw the booklet in hand on the table, "What's the point of going up or down this morning, I'm not too old to move, these officials and ministers in Beijing have already blatantly set their minds on the prince .”

"Your Majesty, calm down," Liang Jiugong said while bending his body, "Your age is at its peak, and these courtiers and clans are only seeking the glory and wealth of the next generation. Now that the world is peaceful, the Holy Majesty still needs to take care of the dragon's body."

Lord Kangxi shook his head, "The country is unstable, what's the use of taking care of the dragon's body? After a long time, they really think I'm getting old... The crown prince and Yinyin are having such a good fight, but the fourth brother is silent Yes. I haven't ordered the clan's mansion to deal with Ling Pu, so I'm afraid Yinzhen has blamed me."

"Oh, what did the Holy Majesty say?" Liang Jiugong put on a cat-like smile, "Sibeile has always been respectful and humble, how dare he complain to the Holy Majesty? I heard earlier that when Sifu Jin wanted to enter the palace, he was beaten by the concubine Defei." Blocked the door, and gave a big gift to the Holy One before leaving."

"Concubine De," Master Kangxi lowered his head and stroked his cuffs, "I have suffered a lot of grievances this time."

Evening

Su Wei was leading Qingxue at the front. Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, Su Wei planned to ask someone to carve some snow sculptures and ice lanterns in the front yard, so as to add some excitement to the mansion.

When the slaves were in full swing, a carriage drove up to the gate of Si Ye's Mansion.

The concierge went out to welcome him, Su Wei poked his head to look at it, he thought it was an official who came to deliver the greeting card, but he didn't want to, he was frightened and dumbfounded by the few people who came out of the curtain.

"Excuse me, which mansion's master is it?" One moment the porter was standing on the steps and asked with a raised voice, but the next moment he was thrown behind him by the collar of Su Dagong.

"Slave Su Peisheng, pay respects to our Emperor Sheng'an," Su Wei knelt down on the steps, and the servants behind the door turned pale and knelt down in an instant.

"Everyone get up, I'm going on tour today, I'm going on tour in modest clothes," said Kangxi Master, with his hands behind his back, wearing a dark blue robe with golden cloud patterns slightly revealing on the hem, and a pair of red brocade boots walked in front of Su Wei, "Su Peisheng , take me to the yard for a walk."

The author has something to say: The Crown Prince and the King of Zhijun have a formal confrontation, and Lord Kangxi's patience is finally running out...

Here, the prince's power has ups and downs, but he was only abolished once...
