Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 44 years

On September [-]th, the autumn wind gradually rises, and there is often a light mist in the morning of the capital.

The fourth elder brother entered the palace according to the order, and Lord Kangxi was sitting in the inner hall of Qianqing Palace, holding a memorial in his hand, "I have seen your Chen Zou on behalf of Yinfeng, and I know how to understand etiquette. It's hard for you to return at this time." Willing to speak up for him."

The fourth elder brother pursed his lips, lowered his head and said, "I ask Huang Ama to forgive me, my son is thinking, second elder brother is still the prince after all."

Lord Kangxi nodded his head, "What do you think about the fact that I was assassinated in Huangpi?"

"Return to Emperor Ama," the fourth elder brother said with a slight frown, "I didn't go on a northern tour with Emperor Ama, and I didn't know the details of Huangpi, so I didn't dare to infer. There is only one thing, I am very strange, this branch The Mongolian cavalry must have exhausted their brains and efforts to sneak to the vicinity of Rehe, but then they attacked the Luangjia camp at night without any plan or strategy, and their strength could not even break through the outermost layer of the guard. So before and after Contradictions, compared to intentional assassination, are more like seeking short-circuits."

"Well, you're right." Lord Kangxi put the memorial aside, "If someone really went out of their way to hide this group of people in Huangpi with the intention of assassinating me, then this last crucial step should not be So sloppy. In this way, this sudden assassination may have another purpose."

The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows, lowered his head, and did not answer.Liang Jiugong stood aside, lowered his body, and changed a bowl of hot tea for Lord Kangxi.

"I heard Concubine De say that Niu Hulu in your house is pregnant?" Master Kangxi picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

"Yes," the fourth elder brother was slightly taken aback, and cupped his hands, "Since Honghui left, the mansion has become somewhat dull. Now Niu Hulu is pregnant, and even Fujin's health is much better."

"This is a happy event." Master Kangxi held the tea bowl and sighed softly, "Huang Ama has lost many more children than you, but the burden on our Aixinjueluo lineage is too heavy for you to indulge in it." Sad. Now, it has been almost a year since Hong Hui left, and your mansion will have to have more imports to be safe."

"What Huang Ama said is true," the fourth elder brother bowed his head.

Lord Kangxi put down the tea bowl and picked up a booklet in one hand. The fourth elder brother was about to leave when he saw this, but the emperor said leisurely, "You sent that eunuch surnamed Su to the palace?"

The fourth prince shivered, forced himself to be calm, bent down and said, "Are you talking about Su Peisheng? He was sent to Shengjing Liangzhuang by his son because of the Liangxiang incident. This time, He went to the palace to deliver things on behalf of Zhuangzi. Only because my son heard that Yinxiang was injured, he wrote to ask him to stay and help."

"Well," Lord Kangxi opened the booklet, seemingly not paying attention, "that eunuch is a bit clever, but he is not honest, so it's good to send it to Zhuangzi. Don't worry too much about Yinxiang's place. The four seasons in the palace are like Chun, there is nothing better than recuperating a leg injury."

"I understand," the fourth elder brother cupped his hands, and there was a slight pain in the clasped palms.

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, the fourth elder brother's face was still a little pale. Seeing this, Zhang Bao wanted to step forward to help him, but the fourth elder brother raised his hand to stop him.The two walked to the gate of Nissei one after the other, and the fourth elder brother staggered and almost fell down.

"Master, what's the matter?" Zhang Bao supported the fourth elder brother in time, and looked around, quite nervous.

"It's okay," the fourth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped over the threshold, "Let's go to Yonghe Palace to have a look."

The Zhaojia family of the thirteenth Fujin and the Wanyan family of the fourteenth Fujin came out of the Yonghe Palace together, and they were bumping into the fourth elder brother.

"Fourth brother," the two saluted in unison.

The fourth elder brother took a step back, waved his hands and said, "Please, two brothers and sisters, I came to visit Emiang on a temporary basis. I haven't posted the post yet. I wonder if it's convenient in the palace now?"

Wan Yan smiled, "Naturally, it's convenient, Er Niang just mentioned Fourth Brother."

The fourth elder brother nodded, and his eyes fell on Zhao Jia who seemed to have something to say, "I'm in Qianqing Palace today, Huang Ama also mentioned Yinxiang. The palace is like spring all the year round, it's suitable for recuperating, so brothers and sisters don't need to worry too much. After the New Year's Eve, Fourth Brother will ask for an order to bring Yinxiang back."

"Thank you, fourth brother," Zhao Jia bowed down slowly, with a little brilliance on his face, "I heard from my father that En Chuo recently worked under the fourth brother's command. That child is simple-minded and honest, please teach me more .”

The fourth elder brother pursed his lips, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "En Chuo is my haha ​​pearl, I know his temper, and now he is working in the Ministry of War, and he is much older, so brothers and sisters don't have to worry."

Mrs. Zhao Jia nodded, while Mrs. Wanyan stood aside, frowning slightly, thoughtful.

"Your mansion has been built," the fourth elder brother looked at Wanyan, "tell Yinti, don't run around all day, prepare to leave the palace to build the mansion, so as not to be in a hurry."

"Yes," Wanyan lowered her head, then smiled, "The Fourteenth Lord really doesn't go out recently, and reads and writes more in elder brother's office, and my younger siblings have also saved a lot of worry."

The fourth elder brother sighed lightly, nodded and said, "He is also the Amma of several children, so he should be more sensible."

Returning from Yonghe Palace to elder brother's house, Wan Yan kept thinking about the conversation between Zhao Jia and fourth elder brother.

Shantao understood the master's thoughts, stepped forward and said, "I heard from the slaves in the palace that this Zhaojia's Enchuo is one of the eight haha ​​beads of Sibeile. Compared with Tongjia's Namutu, Niu Hu Lu's Songgan is not important. Now that I think about it, Tong Jia's and Niu Hulu's are powerful families, and they are a little estranged from Sibeile's family. Because of the love of the thirteenth master, Zhaojia's relationship with Sibeile Just got closer."

Wanyan nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Our master and fourth brother are still in a stalemate, and we can't go on like this forever. Maybe, I can learn from Thirteenth Sister-in-law and let my mother's family get closer to fourth brother, so that even if the two Brothers are screwed again, there is always someone who can join in."

"This is a good way," Shantao said with the corners of his mouth curled up, "Our master is now the servant of the Ministry of Rites, the eldest young master is the member of the household department, and the second young master is about to work in the Ministry of Rites. Baylor's family is not considered high. Coupled with the influence of our master after being entrusted, the official career of the master and the others will definitely be smoother."

Wan Yan pursed her lips and started to walk into the inner hall, "Then let's do this, I will send a letter to your father."

"Yes," Shantao leaned over and saluted.

Rehe Houses

Lin Chu's injury gradually improved, and the doctor told Su Wei that as long as he was more careful, it would not be a problem to travel to Shengjing.

Ku Kui hired a carriage, and the guard Anda took some of Xie Qing's men, ready to go on the road.

"The carriage is covered with cotton wool, so Eunuch Lin just needs to lie down." Su Wei asked someone to carry Lin Chu to the front of the carriage. "If there is any important news in Beijing, I will let someone inform Eunuch Lin. Eunuch Lin can rest assured to recover from his injuries." .”

"Thank you, Eunuch Su," Lin Chu said as he was carried into the carriage and bowed to Su Wei.

Su Wei waved his hands, feeling a little uncomfortable, put down the car curtain, and called Anda to his side, "Be sure to protect Eunuch Lin, and let Murcha be more careful in everything."

"Subordinates understand," Anda bowed his head and cupped his hands.

The carriage drove out of the courtyard, and Xiao Yingzi walked up to Su Wei, "Master, should we also set off for Zhangjiakou?"

Su Wei turned to look at Xiaoyingzi, lowered his head and thought for a moment, "No, we won't go to Zhangjiakou anymore."

Zhijun Palace

The Gold Award Festival is approaching, but there is not much festive atmosphere in the mansion.

There was a strange noise in the study, and the servant who reported the letter was kicked out of the house. Hedu looked around, and bowed to the threshold. Don't rush it."

Prince Zhijun snorted coldly, and turned around from the bookshelf, "Do you know what Huang Ama said in the early court today?"

Hedu lowered his head, "I don't know."

King Zhijun raised the corner of his mouth and walked to the window, "Huang Ama said that Yinreng behaved strangely, slept a lot during the day, ate in the middle of the night, drank dozens of jugs of wine without getting drunk, and every pair of gods was frightened and flustered and couldn't be polite. When encountering cloudy rain, thunder and lightning, he is extremely afraid and at a loss. He behaves abnormally, speaks upside down, and has a madness-like disease, which seems to be haunted by ghosts."

"This," Hedu was surprised for a moment, not knowing how to explain.

King Zhijun put his fist in front of his chest, and said in a deep voice, "If this continues, I'm afraid Yinfeng's mistakes in the past will all be confused by ghosts. We have been working hard for so many years, and in the end it only takes one ghost exorcism ceremony. vanished into thin air."

He Du tightened his body, lowered his head and said, "How did the county king decide to deal with this matter? Is there any movement in Mingxiang's mansion?"

"Minister Ming," Prince Zhijun's lips trembled slightly, "I'm afraid he will die soon."

He Duzheng was stunned for a moment, "Master Nalan Kuishu—"

"I can't count on him," Zhijun Wang walked to the table and sat down heavily. "Since I returned to Beijing from the palace, I have sent letters to Mingxiang's mansion many times, but there is no response. Even the matter of Mingxiang's serious illness. , or the news from the king's eyeliner."

He Du frowned when he heard this, "Since that's the case, Nalan Kuixu must have made up his mind to support Babeile?"

King Zhijun took a deep breath and nodded, "When Prime Minister Ming was around, he still restrained himself a bit. After all, this king and the Nalan family have supported each other for many years. Just now, the spies came to report that he and Yinhu met in the hunting garden on the outskirts of Beijing, along with Tong Jia's Erlundai and Niuhulu's Arson'a."

Hedu was slightly startled, lowered his head and said, "There are all dignitaries behind this, so it seems that Babeile really can't be underestimated."

King Zhijun snorted coldly, and handed a letter to Hedu, "This king has long been concerned about the matter of the old eight. Zhang Mingde has been on the stage for so long, and it's time for him to take the stage. Doesn't he want to be the prince?" ? This king will fulfill him."

Siyefu

Coming out of the Fujin courtyard, the fourth elder brother looked a little haggard.

Zhang Qilin followed behind the fourth elder brother, hesitated for a moment and stepped forward, "Master, you don't need a few mouthfuls of breakfast, and you have to go to the morning later, how can you stand it? How about the servant bring you some snacks, you are on the way How many more mouthfuls?"

The fourth elder brother shook his head, his voice was dull, "I can't eat, I feel so bored."

Zhang Qilin pursed his lips, and walked to the other side of the fourth elder brother in another direction, "Master, you can't blame Eunuch Su for the matter in the palace. If he doesn't go, the thirteenth master may not be as decent as recuperating in the palace."

"I didn't blame him," the fourth elder brother walked into the main hall of the front yard, "it was the master who told him Yinxiang's weirdness, and the master also wanted him to go and see it for me. It's just that I didn't expect that Huang Ama would be so careful. People noticed a eunuch."

"Master, don't worry too much," Zhang Qilin waited on the fourth elder brother to change into the court clothes, "The emperor may have seen it by chance, so I can ask a few questions. After all, Eunuch Su has nothing to do with the crown prince and the king of Zhijun, but the thirteenth master is not counted here. What a big deal."

"I hope so," the fourth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief, and gently pressed the center of his eyebrows with one hand.

"Master," Zhang Bao rushed in, leaning over, "The guards are here to report that Eunuch Su has returned to Beijing."
