early october evening

Zhijun Palace

When Hedu stepped into the inner hall, King Zhijun was lying on a soft couch, his eyes blurred with drunkenness, and Li Jinzhong was waiting by his side holding a jug.

Hedu paused, leaned over and saluted, "Slaves join the county king."

Yinyi smiled, and waved Li Jinzhong back, "Come on, come and drink with me!"

"Junwang," Hedu raised his head, his face was quite unbearable, "Now is the critical moment, how many eyes are staring at you, you can't let yourself be decadent at this time."

King Zhijun pursed his lips, and played with the white jade cup in his hand, "It's gone, and this king just wants to pay homage to him."

He Du's eyes widened, "Here, why is there no movement in Mingxiang's mansion?"

"What news do you want?" King Zhijun narrowed his eyes lazily, "How dare Nalan Kuixu make a scene at this time? The king lost power, Babeile was blamed, and the princes supported by the Nalan family were all punished." Suppression, if Mingxiang has another chance, Nalan's big banner will be completely lost. How capable are you when you think of him as Nalan Kuixu? Compared with Mingxiang, he is not even a little finger."

"What the king said is true," He Du bowed his head, "The servant has sent someone to contact the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were pardoned by Babeile in the case of Ling Pu. Many of these people are against Babeile Baylor is grateful to Dade, Zhang Mingde's matter is big or small, and they are willing to take this opportunity to repay Baylor for saving his life."

King Zhijun nodded, turned around, put his hands on his knees, and raised his wine glass to respect the newborn crescent moon, "Mingxiang is gone. This king and the Nalan family have been horns of each other for many years. Finally, they also broke the relationship." The last trace of love. At the beginning, the Nalan family started because of the cooperation between the king and Mingxiang, and now it will end like this."

The cool autumn night soaked in the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus wine passed by in a hurry. In the early morning, Si Age's carriage drove out of the mansion in the mist that had not yet dissipated.

There were not many pedestrians on the deserted long street. Fu Nai, who was walking on the side of the carriage, passed by the man who turned out of the alley.

"Master," Fu Nai knocked on the car window, and passed a note in.

Inside the car, Zhang Bao warmed the stove and made two bowls of hot tea with hot water.The fourth elder brother frowned, and threw the note he had read into the stove.

Ulanara's Jiahui, who was on the sidelines, took the tea bowl from Zhang Bao and said softly, "Master Baylor, is there any movement from the other princes?"

The fourth elder brother shook his head, and leaned against the wall of the car, "Yesterday morning, Prime Minister Ming died of illness, and Nalan Kui kept secret. According to the current situation, I don't know how long we can keep it a secret."

"Why did something happen at this time?" Jiahui took a sip while holding the tea bowl, "I'm afraid it won't be easy for Prince Zhijun to turn over once Mingxiang leaves."

"The king of Zhijun should have been prepared a long time ago," the fourth elder brother opened the window and looked, the carriage had already circled around the corner of the imperial city wall.

Outside the Rijing Gate, the princes and ministers who were waiting to go to court gathered together.

The fourteenth elder brother stood with the ninth and tenth elder brothers, and the eighth beile had been sick for two days because of Zhang Mingde.

"Old Fourteen, wait for Huang Ama to get better, we brothers have to intercede for Myna," Brother Nine patted Yinti on the shoulder and said.

"That's right," Yinyi frowned from the side, "We met that Zhang Mingde once, didn't he get kicked out by mynah? The mouth is on his face, so we can't always look at it. Just because he murmured a few words about mynah, mynah should not be held accountable."

Yinqi pursed his lips and nodded, but his heart was a little flustered, and before he could speak, a series of greetings sounded behind him.

"Four Baylors are here,"

"Four Baylors are auspicious,"

"It's cold today, Si Baylor stands here at the fire wall,"

The fourth elder brother only nodded to a few old acquaintances, ignored the others, and walked all the way to the doorpost without looking sideways.

"Cut," Yinzhen snorted coldly, turned his head and said in a low voice, "This group of ministers is really a dog's leg. When the starlings were in glory earlier, they couldn't stand on the threshold all day. It's only been less than three days. Just turned the wind direction, regardless of whether people are willing to deal with them."

The tenth elder brother Yinju curled his lips lightly, "If you say that the elder brother and the eighth brother fell in together this time, the fourth brother will benefit the most. Huang Ama has been sick for the past few days and the fourth brother has been taking care of him and guarding the prince. The matter is also handed over to the fourth brother. Now it seems that the joke that there are no tigers in the mountains and monkeys are called kings is true."

Yinzhen's face turned cold, and he flew towards Elder Brother Shi with a sharp eye.Yin's back turned cold, and she unconsciously took a step back to the side, but immediately felt unwilling, and wanted to say something more, so as to regain [-]%...

Ninth elder brother looked at the two people who were about to draw their swords, and was secretly anxious. The figure on the fourth elder brother's side moved, and quickly tugged at Yinqi's sleeve and said, "Old fourteen, look quickly, isn't the one next to fourth elder brother your father-in-law?" ?”

Wanyan Luocha, the servant of Amari Department of the Fourteenth Fujin, and his eldest son, Wailang Haifeng, a member of the household department, stood beside the fourth elder brother and said something.The fourth elder brother looked calm, but he didn't put on an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away like he did with other people.

But Yinzhen looked at the scene in front of him, but felt uncomfortable in his heart, he frowned and his face darkened.

The day's Jingmen opened, and Liang Jiugong's decree was passed on. The Holy Majesty is not in good health.

All the officials bowed and retreated, and several princes bowed their heads and knelt on the stone steps, listening to the decree.

The bright yellow scroll was slowly opened, and the voice of the eunuch proclaiming the decree was quite clear, but it made the spines of all the favored ones shiver under the rising sun.

"I am very sad when I meet the prince and the king of Zhijun. You are the prince, you should strictly prohibit the subordinates, don't make trouble, and follow the rules. You guard officials, husbands of nurses, and Most of the attendants are subordinates and ignorant people. There must be those who are their own masters and do things outside. For example, there are three or four eunuchs and one or two guards in Yinyi, who spied on information and acted arrogantly. I know their names. Now, it is advisable to know the weight and change it quickly! Moreover, those who belong to the crown prince have not forgiven those who violate the laws of the country. How can you talk about it?"

Having said that, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother looked at each other, the fourth elder brother and the third elder brother knelt in a row and remained motionless, and the eunuch continued to announce, "When I called you to face to face, brother Yinti Zuoyi and others, With one heart and one mind, we live peacefully under the emperor's knees. However, this is not a good word! If there are unworthy people among you who do indecent things, how can everyone help them with one heart? The craftsmen were collected and tortured, so that the craftsmen escaped and some hanged themselves. How can you convince the crowd by doing things like this?"

The fourth elder brother rolled his eyes and lowered his head again.

"Nowadays there is something about the prince, and there is something about the elder brother. My heart is very sad. You should look up to my heart, be generous, keep quiet, and don't have to be conscientious in everything. Be cautious. The scriptures say: Those who love their relatives dare not be evil to others, and those who respect their relatives dare not be slow to others. If you are not careful to lead the way, you will be resurrected and cause troubles to hurt my heart. This is the way of a courtier and the righteousness of a father and son. How can you bear to do it? Now that this is the case, you can tell all your subordinates to know about it. Anyone who commits a crime knowingly will be severely punished!"

"Fourth brother," the third elder brother called the fourth elder brother by the palace gate, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Elder brother is the first to bear the brunt of Huang Ama's words, and he didn't mention the prince. The fourth brother has been with me these few days. Huang Ama's side, I don't know what Huang Ama wants to do with the second brother? After all, it's autumn, the second brother can't always live in the felt tent."

The fourth elder brother looked at the third elder brother, and his voice sank, "Ama Huang has been ill for the past few days, and Yinzhen has no intention of inquiring about it. If the third brother wants to intercede for the second brother, why not ask Huang Ama directly .”

"I originally had this plan," the third elder brother looked around, and lowered his voice, "but today, according to the hadith, brothers are of one mind, mutual help and mutual benefit are not good words. The third brother is really afraid, because the second brother If you beg for mercy, you will be accused of helping the evildoers."

The fourth elder brother curled the corner of his mouth, straightened his cuffs with one hand, "Since the third brother is afraid, it's better to stay out of things like Yinzhen."

The third elder brother tilted his head, his thick eyebrows frowned slightly, "But how did I hear that the fourth younger brother wrote a book for the second elder brother before, and it was not planned by the prince to play together in Huangpi, and it seems that he was praised by Huang Ama. Since the fourth brother wants to stay out of it, why should he bother with it?"

"Third brother is well informed." Fourth elder brother turned his hands away, his voice calm, "However, there is one thing third brother made a mistake. Fourth brother's memorial is not for second brother to distinguish, but for Chen to express second brother's wishes. Second brother Although brother made a mistake and was detained, he is still the crown prince, and he has something to say to Huang Ama, the servant should do it for him."

"Fourth brother understands righteousness, no wonder Huang Ama praises it," the third elder brother raised the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't fully believe what he said.

"Master Baylor," Zhou Changyan trotted behind the third elder brother and whispered.

Third elder brother nodded, and said to fourth elder brother, "Third elder brother has something to do, let's go first."

The fourth elder brother went out of the palace gate, Fu Nai came up to meet him, and said in a low voice, "Master, the third elder brother's carriage has gone to Liuxiang Tea House. Our spies at A Ling'a's mansion reported that Arsong is here today." I want to meet Nalan Kuixu and Sanbeile at Liuxiang Tea House."

The fourth elder brother frowned, and after thinking for a while, he got on the carriageway, "Let's go back to the house first."

Eight Baylor House

Bafujin stood at the desk waiting for the pen and ink, and Babeile wrote and revised a memorial, rewritten and rewritten.

"My lord, you have been busy all morning, take a rest," Bafujin comforted softly, "The hadith that Huang Ama told the princes today, all mentioned the crown prince and the king of Zhijun. The lord is just being taught by Zhijun." The county king is implicated, so what can Zhang Mingde find out if he investigates again. The master drove him out again and again, and many people have seen it."

"I know," Yinhu breathed a sigh of relief, put down his pen, and rubbed the center of his brows, "but my heart is full of panic, Huang Ama's important use during his northern tour, and his rage after returning to Beijing are all too much." All of a sudden, I can't find the clue, I can't figure out the reason, what is my position in Huang Ama's heart."

"My lord, don't think about it." Bafujin poured a cup of tea for the eighth elder brother, "Now the crown prince and the king of Zhijun are the center of this vortex. When the turmoil is over, Huang Ama will still reuse you. Then Zhang Mingde is just a clown, don't worry about him."

Yinhu pursed his lips, sighed, and the servant outside the door leaned over and said, "Master He Zhuo is back."

Yinhu's eyes lit up, and he raised his voice, "Come in, please."

Bafujin looked out, bowed his head and saluted, "Master has business to do, so the concubine will step down first."

"Thank you for your hard work, Fujin," Yinhu frowned, and sent Fujin back to the main courtyard.

After He Zhuo entered the room to salute, he lowered his voice and said, "Master Baylor, don't worry, Master Nalan has met with Lord Arsun'a today, and together with Sanbeile, he came up with a way to treat him in the same way. .”

"What way?" Yinhu frowned, "Why did you bring third brother in?"

"Lord Baylor, don't worry," He Zhuo cupped his hands, "Lord Arson'a arranged it very well. Sanbeile aimed to bring down King Zhijun, but he didn't pay attention to Lord Baylor."

Yinhu frowned and thought for a moment, "Mingxiang just passed away, so brother Kuixu doesn't need to stay in the mansion?"

He Zhuo bent down and lowered the volume to the lowest level, "For this matter, Lord Nalan must help. You must know that the Nalan family knows the king of Zhijun best and has the deepest contact with him... "

In the evening, Si Ye Mansion

Candlelight was lit in the east courtyard, and Zhang Bao walked into the inner hall with his supper, only to see the fourth elder brother wearing a robe sitting on the couch in a daze, and the colorful dice were placed on the kang table, still maintaining the appearance of a few days ago.

"Master," Zhang Bao called softly, and put the snacks on the table, "You are running around the palace and the mansion recently, it doesn't matter if the dice can't be turned, and Mr. Su will be in the suburbs of Beijing if you leave the left. For a while, you can think about it slowly."

The fourth elder brother shook his head slowly, picked up the Rubik's Cube on the table and looked at it, "It's not that I don't have time to think, it's that I don't want to think about it."

Zhang Bao was taken aback for a moment, pursed his lips and lowered his body, "What does the master mean?"

The fourth elder brother sighed softly, and put the Rubik's Cube back on the table, "Tomorrow, you go to Liangzhuang Village in the suburbs of Beijing to send a message that Su Peisheng go back to Shengjing Zhuangzi. If he wants to go to Zhangjiakou or other places, he can do it. But there is one thing , without the order of the master, you are not allowed to return to Beijing!"

Daliangzhuang in the suburbs of Beijing

At noon, when Grand Duke Su, who had not had lunch, was in a tug-of-war with Xiaoyingzi, who was sticking to the pot, Zhang Bao, with a dim complexion, drove to the gate of the courtyard.

The fourth elder brother's order made Xiaoyingzi's expression change immediately, and Grandpa Su, who was fighting for the ladle, didn't pay attention to squatting on his buttocks for a moment.

"Master," Xiao Yingzi pouted and helped Su Wei up, water dripping from his bright eyes.

"Stop!" Su Wei tapped Xiaoyingzi's head with a spoon, "It was me, not you, who ordered the expulsion from Lord Baylor, why are you crying?"

"Grandpa Su," Zhang Bao took a step forward, turning the words around his lips, and said with aptitude, "Master must have something to hide. You also know that the situation in the court is tense, and the princes have been involved in this turmoil one by one." Here, the master must be thinking about your safety."

"Okay, you don't have to explain it to him," Su Wei shook the big spoon in his hand, "Don't think that I've become an outsider after more than half a year since I've been away for more than half a year. When it comes to understanding the bad-bellied master in the mansion, all of you Not enough!"

"Go back and tell him," Su Wei pointed at Zhang Bao's nose with a spoon, "At the beginning, no one could stop me from leaving, but today I don't want to leave and no one can stop me! He wants me to leave Beijing and come face to face. Tell me. But there is one thing, if you want to see me, you have to solve the Rubik's Cube first, otherwise we won't talk about it!"

"What a mess," Xiaoyingzi muttered by the stove, but was pushed aside by Su Wei, "Give me a piece of garlic!"

Eunuch Zhang, who was caught between the two ancestors, rushed back to Si Ye's mansion from the suburbs of Beijing with a stomach full of bitterness.Before the carriage entered the gate of the mansion, the guard of honor passed by the long street in a hurry.

Zhang Bao hurriedly drove to dodge, seeing the guard of honor heading towards Babeile's mansion, his heart that was suddenly suspended in the air was slowly let go.
