Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 44 years

Jehol Palace

In the middle of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sound of silk and bamboo is everywhere in Wanshu Garden.

The ministers toasted and mingled, reciting poems and enjoying the moon, seeming to be particularly enthusiastic.It's just that Lord Kangxi's mood was a little bit low, so he left the banquet early and went back to Yanbo Zhishuang Hall to rest.

Liang Jiugong waited on the emperor to change into his regular clothes, leaned on the couch, and ordered two plates of pastries and a pot of Suye soup.

"Long live Lord, you didn't move your chopsticks at the banquet today." Liang Jiugong picked up a piece of mooncake and presented it to Lord Kangxi, "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival anyway, this self-red is the best material, you can try a piece Son, it’s also a rush to catch up with the day.”

"You have a heart," Lord Kangxi took the mooncake and said thoughtfully, "Since it's a festival, the palace and the palace are full of festivals, so don't be negligent on Reindeer Slope."

"I understand," Liang Jiugong said, leaning over.

"I report to the Lord Long Live, and the court judge Liu asked to see me," the palace man knelt to the door and reported with a loud voice.

"Let him come in," said Lord Kangxi, putting down the moon cake and leaning on the mat.

Liu Shu led Imperial Physician Zheng into the hall, and bowed to salute, "Your Majesty, I wish you peace and prosperity."

"Okay, get up," Master Kangxi straightened his cuffs, and spoke calmly, "How's the old thirteen's legs?"

Liu Shu looked up at Lord Kangxi, hesitating slightly.

Grandpa Kangxi narrowed his eyes, and said in a low tone, "Say what you have to say, don't hesitate."

"Yes," Liu Shu leaned forward, "Thirteenth Lord's leg is darkly abscessed, and the bleeding is difficult to heal. Even if it recovers, it may be difficult to walk in rainy weather."

"Bastard!" The dishes, cups and pots on the kang table were all swept to the ground, and the two imperial doctors hurriedly kowtowed to apologize.

Lord Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief, his words were majestic, "Yinxiang was just injured by a bruise, and after being treated by you for a month, he was cured of bleeding ulcers, now he still has the face to ask for forgiveness?"

"Your Majesty," Liu Shu straightened up and cupped his hands, "The Thirteenth Master's injury was indeed the negligence of the Imperial Hospital. I checked the wounds of the Thirteenth Master in the past few days and found that the Thirteenth Master's wound was wrongly used medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. As a result, the trauma has not been healed, coupled with the hot and humid weather, running all the way, which led to ulceration."

"Old Thirteen's injuries have always been responsible for Zheng Yu," Lord Kangxi turned his head to look at Imperial Physician Zheng.

Zheng Yu's body tensed up, trembling like sifting chaff, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged, I can't make any mistakes—"

"Zheng Yu," Liu Shu cut off Zheng Yu's words, turned his head and bowed down to Lord Kangxi, "Your Majesty, on the day Huangpi was assassinated, the carriage on which the medicinal materials were placed was hit by an assassin. Although not much was lost, a lot of Danshen powder was broken. The thirteenth master was also injured that day, and the imperial physicians were all in a hurry, and the salvia powder in the frame might not have been cleaned up. Except for the thirteenth master, several injured guards also had bleeding symptoms .”

Zheng Yu looked at Liu Shu in shock, then at Long Live Lord who hadn't spoken yet, bit his lower lip and leaned over, "The emperor forgives the sin, it's because of my negligence that I was eager to diagnose and treat Thirteen Lord's bone injuries, and didn't This big mistake was made after careful inspection of the white medicine used."

Lord Kangxi let out his breath slowly, looked at Liu Shu and Zheng Yu with scrutiny in his eyes, and said after a long silence, "Doctor, fate. A momentary negligence caused my son to suffer from disability for life. I forgive you easily. Wouldn’t it be easier to just muddle along in the future? Zheng Yu, with a staff of eighty, recharged Shengjing; Liu Shu, with a staff of thirty, was resigned from the imperial hospital’s post of judge, and returned to Beijing to contemplate behind closed doors!”

When Liu Shu and Zheng Yu were pulled out of Yanbo Zhishuang Hall, their necks and bodies were cold.

The heavy responsibility of Lord Kangxi was beyond Liu Shu's expectation. He accepted Su Peisheng's suggestion, but paid attention to it. He said that the deterioration of Master Shisan's injury was artificial, and added another high-sounding reason in an attempt to give himself Leave more ways to escape, but don't want to let yourself lose the hat of the Supreme Hospital.

In the inner hall, Lord Kangxi's face was still cold, Liang Jiugong sent someone to clean up the mooncake residues all over the floor, after hesitating for a while, he took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, Brother Thirteen—"

"It's too useless," Master Kangxi let out a long breath, and shook hands on the table again, "Decree to return to Beijing, and order Yinzhen and Yinhu to handle government affairs together, and Yinhu will temporarily act as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Full authority to deal with Ling Pu's corruption and assassination case."

Liang Jiugong's expression turned serious, and he bowed down and said, "I obey the order."

Cheng'an Hall

It was the second day that Su Wei learned that Liu Shu and Zheng Yu had been dealt with.The new doctor Zhou Tai, who came to treat Thirteenth Brother's injury, was extremely serious. When changing the dressing, he even tasted the pus to confirm the properties of the medicine.Su Wei stood aside with a pale face, feeling really uncomfortable when he thought of the two imperial physicians who were dealt with.

"Eunuch Su," Ku Kui quietly pulled Su Wei into the outer hall, "The emperor sent an order to return to Beijing early in the morning, ordering the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother to assist in government affairs, and also ordered the eighth elder brother to temporarily act as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and take full powers. Ling Pu's case."

"It's burned back so soon." Su Wei frowned, "Give my letter to the people in Zhuangzi, and don't detour to Shengjing, just send it back to Beijing."

"Yes," Kukui bowed his head and walked out of the room quickly.

Deng Yu sent Imperial Physician Zhou out of the room, and whispered to Su Wei, "Grandpa Su, the master wants to see you."

Su Wei nodded, and bowed into the bedroom. Elder Brother Thirteen looked at Su Wei with a slight embarrassment, "It's because I didn't listen to Su Gonggong's advice and insisted on doing so. I didn't want to harm the two imperial physicians."

Su Wei pursed his lips, and sighed softly, "Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and this servant never thought that the emperor would take such a heavy responsibility. However, sooner or later, someone will be responsible for my brother's leg injury. If this servant doesn't do it, someone else will."

Elder Brother Thirteen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Actually, I know the consequences of this matter. I just held my breath in my heart and wanted to see what Huang Ama would do with me. Thinking about it now, I'm really naive."

Su Wei lowered his head and didn't speak. Elder Brother Thirteen looked at him with a gentle voice, "Eunuch Su, don't blame yourself too much. These two imperial physicians, Yinxiang, remember that as long as there is a chance in the future, we will double compensate them."

Su Wei responded, still looking downcast, Yin Xiang tilted his head, "Eunuch Su, if you have anything else on your mind, you might as well just say it."

Su Wei swallowed, looked up at Elder Brother Thirteen, then lowered his head again, "Before, the slave took 300 taels of silver from Deng Yu."

"I know that," Yinxiang leaned back on the cushion, "it's only natural for people to communicate with each other, but Liu Shu has a lot of appetite."

"Actually," Su Wei scratched the back of his head, "300 taels is not enough."

Yinxiang raised his eyebrows, "How much did it take?"

Su Wei stretched out two fingers...

"200 taels?" Yinxiang asked tentatively.

Su Wei shook his head and lowered his shoulders, "2000 taels is the money that Si Baylor gave to the slaves to do business. Then Liu Shu was sentenced by the Supreme Hospital, and a few hundred taels would not knock him out."

Yinxiang shook his head amusedly, and raised his voice, "Deng Yu, bring 3000 taels!"

Autumn is getting stronger, and the lively atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival has faded in the capital. Counting the time, the emperor is going to return from his northern tour.

Fourth master's mansion, outside the pass that had not been heard for a long time, news came one after another like snow flakes, and the emperor's decree also reached the gate of the mansion early in the morning.

"Master's guess is correct." Fu Nai, Chang Lai, Zhang Tingyu and others gathered in the study of the fourth elder brother. "After the emperor was assassinated, the prince was arrested. Although the hadith did not state that the prince was related to the assassin, it mentioned collusion with foreign countries." , Corrupting the country, obviously has something to do with Mobei Mongolia and even Junggar.”

The fourth elder brother sat behind the desk with an unclear expression, "Compared to the second elder brother, the elder brother was the one who was hit hardest. Huang Ama's light words have cut off his thoughts for many years. The facts are obvious, even if the second elder brother is the prince If it is not guaranteed, it will not be the turn of Zhijun King to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year position."

"But," Zhang Tingyu frowned slightly, "The emperor still didn't say whether he would abolish the throne. With all these charges suppressed, it's just a sentence of imprisonment and education, which really makes people wonder."

"Huang Ama's actions have never had only one purpose," the fourth elder brother turned the Rubik's cube in his hand, "The prince's reputation among the people and power in the court should not be underestimated. Reserved position is related to the state system, which is what Huang Ama attaches the most importance to." place."

"Then," Chang Lai continued, "The emperor ordered the master to cooperate with Babeile in government affairs, but it meant to weaken the power of the prince? Babeile was ordered to deal with Ling Pu's matter, how does the master plan to participate?"

"I can't participate in this matter," the fourth elder brother rubbed his brows, "Huang Ama has ordered Yinhu to act as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is obvious that he is given full power to handle it. As for whether to suppress the prince, it still depends on the changes in the situation in Beijing. .”

"Master," Zhang Bao came in from the outside, "Shengjing Zhuangzi sent a letter from Mr. Su."

The fourth elder brother suddenly raised his head, put the Rubik's cube into his arms, "Bring it here!"

Zhang Bao looked left and right, and took out the letter, which was as thick as half a book, in full view of everyone.

There was silence in the study for half an hour. When Fu Nai and the others were debating whether to get up and leave, the fourth elder brother finally pursed his lips and put down the letter paper, "Yinxiang's leg has suffered from a chronic illness, and I'm afraid it will be bad for him in the future."

After a little thought, Zhang Tingyu said, "Brother Thirteen has always been valued by the emperor in recent years, and now, I'm afraid it's going to be a turn of events."

The fourth elder brother nodded, "I don't have enough self-protection power, so I don't want to be the early bird. Since Yinhu has been selected, it depends on how he responds."

"Master Shengming," several people leaned over together, and the fourth elder brother stood up holding the envelope, "Master, go to the East Courtyard to rest for a while, Fu Nai will accompany me, you all go back."

"Yes," several people exited the door one after another, and Fu Nai accompanied the fourth elder brother to the east courtyard.

"How did you choose the person you prepared?" Si elder brother walked in front of the people with his hands behind his back.

Fu Nai cupped his hands, and said in a soft voice, "The servants are carefully screened, but too few of them completely meet the requirements. They need to have a good face, and they must also be familiar with the dignitaries of the aristocratic families in the capital. They have some skills, and they are not stupid. Now there are only four."

"It's enough," the fourth elder brother straightened his cuffs, "This kind of person is hard to come by. The quantity is not the key. Prepare silver and send it out. There must be one at Lao Ba's place, and Tong Jia's one, and entrust him to Heqi's house." One, one in A Ling A's house."

"Yes," Fu Nai bowed his head to accept the order, and the fourth elder brother pinched the envelope in his hand, his eyes became deeper and deeper.
