Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 44 years

October [-]

After several days in a row, all the courtiers shouted Babeile's virtuous virtues, Lord Kangxi finally responded.

After the early dynasty, the Holy Lord announced to the ministers and scholars who led the guards and said: "Zhang Mingde planned to assassinate the crown prince before he was detained. According to him, there were 16 burglars, and two of them were here. He also said that half of New Manchuria It is only possible to do things. It is so confusing to people's hearts. Fortunately, I am around and upright. The Zhijun King ordered the Shuntian Mansion to investigate these circumstances. Afterwards, Zhang Mingde escaped and looked for Yinhu, and said this again. Why Yinhu Zhuanyu Ninth Elder Brother and Fourteenth Elder Brother, but I didn’t hear about it? Now, Yinhu is locked up, and Shuncheng King Bu Muba, Shuntianfu Laishi, and Shuncheng King Chief Shi Alu are locked together. Take it. The crime committed by Zhang Mingde is a great crime of love, not limited to beheading, he should be executed by Ling Chi!"

The importance of Ling Chi is known to all courts, and the random words of a fortune teller are so sinful, which can be seen in the anger of the current emperor towards Babeile.At this time, the courtiers who still wanted to intercede for the eighth elder brother began to restrain themselves.

However, in less than two days, an official from the former Ministry of Internal Affairs, who was benevolent to Babeile, appealed directly, asking His Majesty to forgive Babeile for his crime of ignorance. Since Zhang Mingde has been executed, please let Babeile go back to the mansion and think about it.

On October 21, after noon, Lord Kangxi suddenly summoned the ministers of the guards, academicians, and ministers of state affairs to announce the results of Zhang Mingde's case, saying, "After the joint trial of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Duke Puqi and King Shuncheng both said that Zhang Mingde intended to assassinate the prince. , and the king of Zhijun has been relying on Shuntian Mansion to investigate this matter, but he has escaped repeatedly. And Babeile Yinhu, who heard Zhang Mingde's lies, did not hear about it. , It’s really unfilial, and it violates the laws of the country! Today, the title of Yinyu Baylor is an idle clan! Bumuba, based on what he heard, Shi Alu, the head of the Shang Dynasty, told the king of Zhijun, and asked him to hear about it. Bumuba and Alu Lu Ju was acquitted and released. Duke Puqi did not report his knowledge, so he was relegated to the Duke, and he became an idle clan! Lai Shi of Shuntian Mansion took bribes and released Zhang Mingde privately. Let everyone go to see it."

The imperial decree was issued, the eighth elder brother Yinhu was released by the Ministry of Punishment, all Baylor's duties were taken away, and all the remaining servants in the mansion were dismissed.

In less than a month, Baye's Mansion, the busiest place in central Beijing, suddenly felt like a cold palace, preparing to experience the sorrow of being left out in the cold.

When Yinhu returned to the mansion from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the door nails had been peeled off, the red and green painted doorposts were splashed with black paint, and the gilded beams were all shoveled down. The crowd protested.

With one hand hidden in the sleeve, Yinhu's eyes were indifferent. During the few days of detention in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, his bamboo-colored robe was stained with a lot of filth.However, the tingling pain from the palm, as the door opened, pierced the bone marrow.

"Master," He Zhuo greeted him and led Yinhu up the steps, "You can rest at ease, Mr. Arson'a sent a message that everything is ready, and the situation in front of you will not last long."

Yinhu nodded, but there was still no emotion in his eyes.

"It's not good, it's not good," Jin Huan, the maid, ran into the front yard and hurriedly knelt down to Brother Eighth, "Brother, hurry up and have a look, Fujin has had a miscarriage."

Siyefu

In Fujin's room, the fourth elder brother was sitting on the couch with a scroll of scriptures in his hand, and he seemed to be fascinated by reading it.

After Fujin washed and washed, he sat on the other side of the soft couch and sorted out the account books by the candlelight, "In the past few days, Huang Ama has repeatedly issued decrees, the eighth elder brother was demoted and demoted, and the two of them were attacked by Ling Chi one after another. Capital punishment. I don't understand that the nonsense of this physiognomist can cause such a big impact?"

The fourth elder brother bent his lips and turned a page of scriptures, "It's not because of a fortune teller, it's just because what Yinhu did happened at the worst time. The crown prince was detained, the courtiers impeached, the emperor But Ama doesn't want to touch the country. When Ben was in a stalemate, an extremely virtuous prince suddenly appeared, so how could Huang Ama not feel jealous?"

Fujin frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Eighth Prince is really so capable? How did he let so many courtiers willingly take the risk of offending Long Yan to speak up for him?"

The fourth elder brother put down the scriptures, thought for a moment and said, "Old Ba will indeed win people's hearts, not to mention the courtiers, even among the princes, there are quite a few who support him."

Fujin pursed his lips, thinking of the previous fourteenth elder brother, he didn't speak again.

The fourth elder brother continued, "However, it's not just the virtuous ministers who are grateful for his virtue who pleaded for him this time. The elder brother's strength behind this is probably no less than when he set up Zhang Mingde's trap."

"So that's how it is," Fujin suddenly nodded, "Zhijun Wang has seen through the emperor's taboo on the rising prince at this time, so the more he asks people to intercede with the eighth elder brother. On the surface, the more people support the eighth elder brother, In private, Huang Ama became more and more angry, and in this cycle, it is no wonder that the arrogant words of a face-to-face person can be used as evidence to seize the reserve position in the end."

The fourth elder brother sighed, picked up the tea bowl on the side and took a sip, "This time, the elder brother is also disheartened. He hurt others a thousand and hurt himself eight hundred. He lost his position and pulled Yinhu down again, which is almost the same as Yu cut off the Nalan family's retreat."

"But in the end, the King of Zhijun still has a breath of energy," Fujin put down the account book and said, "The eighth elder brother lost his title, but the King of Zhijun is just thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors. This courtier has always been powerful, maybe he will be in the county palace again in a few days the gates."

The fourth elder brother raised the corner of his mouth lightly, shook his head and said, "You underestimated Yinhu, this matter is not so easy..."

Fujin pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment and said, "Recently, my lord has been sending Zhao Jia's En Chuo and Fu Nai into the palace to guard the prince's felt tent. I don't know, but it has something to do with Eighth Prince and King Zhijun?"

The fourth elder brother looked up at Fujin, narrowing his eyes slightly, "It's my job to guard the prince, Fu Nai and En Chuo are just following orders."

"I'm taking the liberty of being a concubine," Fu Jin lowered his head, and said with a sigh of relief, "Jiahui is not young now, and although he is not as capable as En Chuo, he was always by my father's side when he was young. If you are satisfied, just teach him, don't let him have fun all day and slack off his errands."

The fourth elder brother chuckled, then lowered his head and opened the scriptures, "There are few errands in our house, if Jiahui can't be free, I'll just arrange a position for him in the sixth department."

Fujin was taken aback for a moment, lowered his head, and said nothing.

palace at night

It was pitch black beside the sima yard, and the guards who took turns guarding had not yet finished their shifts, and were already extremely sleepy.

A young eunuch approached the felt tent with a food box, but was stopped by the guards, "Which palace? What did you take?"

"The servant is from the imperial dining room, bring some supper to the prince," the little eunuch said with his head bowed.

The guard took out the silver needle, tried the snacks in the food box one by one, yawned and said, "Go in."

"Yes," the little eunuch leaned over, carrying the food box into the felt tent.

Under the tree not far away, Fu Nai and En Chuo flashed out, and soon disappeared.

In the middle of the month, the night was dark, and the palace was completely silent.

A gust of wind blew by, and a few crows curled their wings and landed on the wall. The well-fed horse in the stable snorted and suddenly rubbed its hooves a little uneasy.

Like an omen, or animal intuition, a long howl cut through the night sky violently, awakening the entire palace.

"Your Highness," En Chuo led someone into the felt tent, the prince foamed at the mouth, fell to the ground and convulsed.

The palace servants who reported the news almost scrambled to the Qianqing Palace, and Lord Kangxi wore a dragon robe and went to the Simayuan overnight.

The lights near the yurt were already brightly lit, Fu Nai and En Chuo pressed the crown prince and asked the imperial physician to take his pulse.The prince chattered endlessly, no one knew what he was talking about, his round eyes were filled with the whites of his eyes, his chest was raised high, as if something was about to burst out of his body.

"What's going on here?" Lord Kangxi stepped into the felt tent, his voice trembling slightly.

Liang Jiugong hurriedly stood in front of Lord Kangxi, "Long Live Lord, this place is filthy, let's wait outside."

"Go away," Lord Kangxi pushed Liang Jiugong away and walked to the simple bed.

The imperial doctor knelt on the ground and said, "The prince's pulse condition is disordered, but there are no obvious lesions in the five internal organs. With such symptoms, it seems to be insane. I just don't know why it is so sudden."

"Report to Your Majesty," Fu Nai pressed one of the prince's arms, and could only bow his head slightly to salute, "The prince has been doing well recently, and the servants are strictly guarding against letting anyone approach at will. I really don't know how the prince suddenly Emergency."

"Is there something wrong with diet?" Kangxi sat on the side of the bed, the prince gradually became quiet, but he just looked around without focusing.

"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, the prince's diet is tested with silver needles, and the servants dare not be sloppy," Fu Nai and En Chuo knelt together, bowing their heads to report.

"May I ask, what did the crown prince eat for his last meal?" the imperial physician asked aside.

En Chuo thought for a while, then pointed to the plates of dim sum on the table and said, "Your Highness had supper at night, and these plates of dim sum were delivered by the Imperial Dining Room."

The imperial doctor nodded, walked to the table, tasted a bit of each one, and tried the tea in the cup, "Return to the emperor, there is nothing wrong with these snacks and tea."

Lord Kangxi nodded his head, frowned, and looked back at the prince, who had already fallen asleep.

"Here," Liang Jiugong rolled his eyes, leaned down and whispered in Lord Kangxi's ear, "The emperor forgives the sin, the slave is ignorant, seeing the prince's symptoms, how come it looks like a dirty disease?"

Lord Kangxi was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Liang Jiugong, who hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

"Forget it," Lord Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the sleeping prince again, "you should watch carefully tonight. Tomorrow morning, move the prince to Xian'an Palace, and let the master of Baohua Palace recite sutras for the prince. Peace of mind."

"Yes," everyone in the room saluted and took orders.

Lord Kangxi looked at the prince again, sighed heavily, got up and got out of the felt tent.Liang Jiugong looked at Fu Nai twice, and followed Lord Kangxi out.

"Long Live Lord, this slave was quick-talking just now." Liang Jiugong held up a lantern and walked beside Lord Kangxi, "Your Highness, as the crown prince, how can such filthy and evil things get close to him easily? It must be just a common emergency. Wait for the imperial physician to be careful." You see, it will heal soon."

Lord Kangxi shook his head, and walked slowly with his hands behind his back, "I'm afraid, I hurt Yinreng. Before, I said that Yinreng behaved strangely and was afraid of gods. In fact, I just mentioned it casually. Looking at it now Come on, I'm afraid someone has remembered it in his heart, and wants to use my mouth to practice the art of curse and nightmare to murder Yinfeng."

"Here," Liang Jiugong frowned, and thought for a moment, "Why don't you ask the consultant to investigate in private? I'm afraid there are not many people in Beijing who can practice this secret technique."

"Let's do it this way," Master Kangxi took a deep breath, his voice was cold, "The consultant knows who is the most suspicious, so hurry up and don't delay Yinreng's illness."

"Don't worry, your majesty, this servant will go and give orders," Liang Jiugong handed the lantern to the eunuch behind him, and hurried away.

At the felt tent, the imperial physician took the palace servants to the teahouse to make medicine, and Fu Nai stood by the prince's side. The voices outside the tent gradually faded, and the prince slowly opened his eyes.

"Your Highness, how do you feel?" Fu Nai approached the head of the bed, lowering his voice.

"I'm fine," Yinreng squeezed between his brows, looked around, "Have you disposed of those plates of dim sum?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness," Fu Nai lowered his head, "It's been taken care of properly. The imperial physician has already experienced the dropped snacks. Right now, the emperor must also believe that the crown prince has been cursed."

Yinfeng bent his mouth and narrowed his eyes slightly, "What is the medicine they gave me?"

"My servant has already sent someone to test it," Fu Nai said in a soft voice, "these are poppy and nuxy seeds prepared according to the amount. At first, there will be symptoms of hallucinations and paralysis. The effect is quite similar to the medicine we made ourselves. Because the amount is small, it is difficult for the imperial physician to detect it. However, over time, the accumulation of toxins in the abdomen will be fatal. Once the imperial physician detects it, it will be difficult to cure it."

"It's really hard work." Yinfeng curled the corners of his mouth, and sat up on the head of the bed. "Fortunately, the people in this hall were aware of their plan in time, and fortunately the fourth brother was willing to help me. Otherwise, wouldn't this hall be Became an unjust ghost to serve as a foil to King Zhijun? That would really make him ashamed to see his ancestors in hell."

Fu Nai pursed the corners of his lips, lowered his head and said, "Our Lord Baylor didn't want to join the court battle, but Prince Honghui had to avenge his revenge, let alone watch His Highness fall into a trap and stand on the sidelines."

"I understand," the crown prince sighed softly, "Although Zhijun Wang and Yinhu are helping behind the scenes of Lingpu's matter, I still owe my life to Lao Si. This time, Yinzhen repaid my revenge with virtue and saved me. Life, I will never forget Honghui's enmity. Even if Yinhu's life is good this time, when the king of Zhijun falls, the hall will take care of him little by little."

early morning

The fourth elder brother's carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Fu Nai hurried out and boarded the carriage, "Master, everything went well last night."

The fourth elder brother turned the Rubik's cube and nodded, "Let the spies in Tuoheqi's mansion hide it well, and he won't need to inquire about the news recently."

"I understand," Fu Nai lowered his head, "His Royal Highness received the secret report from Tuo Heqi, and he didn't have any doubts. Tuo Heqi also focused his attention on a few lamas, and didn't check the line of the report at all. people."

"That's good," the fourth elder brother twisted the Rubik's cube, his eyebrows were distant, "Before the time comes, you must learn to forbear. The deeper you hide, the safer you are. Zhijun Wang is an example, and the old eighth is even more so. It's a pity , they can’t learn the lesson.”

Fu Nai curled his lips and said, "As long as the crown prince doesn't know that the person who sent them the message is from our family, he won't doubt the master's intentions. When the king of Zhijun falls, Tuo Heqi and others will surely die." I will not let Eighth Prince and his party go. The master only needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and he will win more than half of this battle."

The fourth elder brother smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "It's not that easy, the second brother and the eighth brother are not brainless masters, let alone there are—" The fourth elder brother paused slightly, his face was cold, "Praying mantis catching cicadas, yellow The sparrow is behind, one step away, it is not certain who is the cicada and which is the sparrow."
