Kangxi 45 years

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, a poker table was set up in Su Wei's small courtyard. Apart from Su Wei and Fourth Master, Zhang Bao and Zhuangtou Cui Sheng were on the table.

"Hey, let's agree," Grandpa Su sat on a soft chair with several layers of cushions piled up, up, down, left, and right, full of energy, "No one is allowed to play tricks on real gold and silver chips. People who don't like flattery and flattery, who dares to secretly feed the cards, will be caught playing the board according to the chips!"

Zhang Bao rolled his eyes secretly, he didn't take Su Wei seriously at all, and he was not allowed to play tricks, the table will be cheated by himself from beginning to end, okay?On the other hand, Cui Sheng, the head of the village, sat so close to his master for the first time, and was even stupefied by Eunuch Su. Why learn to play horse cranes, why come to join in the fun, is this time to lose or not to lose?

"Okay, just as Su Peisheng said," the fourth elder brother glanced at someone who rolled up his arms and sleeves, knowing that this person was planning to make another big fortune from him, "No one is allowed to fish in troubled waters, let's start."

The first one was when the fourth elder brother was in the manor, and Su Wei aggressively joined forces with the other two to kill all directions, chase and intercept, and was about to pull their master down from the horse, but in the end...

"What kind of bad cards did you catch?" Su Wei stretched his neck and shouted at Cui Sheng, "I've been back and forth three or four times, and I can't get a single card out. Tell me, did you deliberately let the water go?"

In the second round, Su Wei was in the dealership. After less than three rounds, the fourth elder brother stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the money!"

In the third and fourth rounds, Su Wei won both, but he went to the village with the fourth elder brother.

"You're cheating, when did you secretly practice horse hanging?" Su Wei threw away the cards in his hand, and reached out to grab Fourth Master's purse, Cui Sheng's eyes widened immediately.

"Don't make trouble," the fourth elder brother collected his expression, with a smile on his lips, "I don't play with these things because it's too simple. As long as you have a good memory and can concentrate, you can figure out who's What kind of cards do you have in your hand? Others are blind and you are looking at the overall situation. How can you not win? When you are in the dealership, even if you are fighting alone, you have to divide the cards from the next house to the other house. The cards from the previous house are not necessary. All follow up, occasionally exposed, the next player will follow some small cards with the wind. It seems that the players are united, but in fact everyone's cards are messed up. At this time, it is the opportunity of the banker. It is easier to be a player , I don’t have good cards, so I help my companions who have good cards, as long as the final goal remains the same, and if I lose some soldiers, I can reap the benefits of the fisherman.”

Su Wei blinked his eyes, and silently put the money into his purse. This man can remember the order in which forty cards are played, and can instantly calculate what cards are in everyone's hands. What's the point of playing with him? It's not that I have money and no place to spend it.

Liuxiang Tea House

The eighth elder brother's carriage stopped at the side door of the tea house, and Elundai personally welcomed the eighth elder brother to the private room on the second floor.

Arsun'a, Wang Hongxu, and Nalan Kuixu were all waiting in the private room, and after greeting each other, they sat down.

"We caused trouble for Babeile this time," Wang Hongxu cupped his hands first, "I thought that the emperor's handling of Lao Zhibian would be a great opportunity for us to overthrow the prince, but we didn't expect that Lord Baylor would suffer a catastrophe. I'm so ashamed."

"What Mr. Wang said is exactly what the brothers are thinking," Nalan Kuixu took over the words and said, "I should have thought about it more, but this time I really made a rash move, and I hope that Lord Belle will forgive me."

"The elder brothers are serious," the eighth elder brother pursed his lips. "Without the help of the elder brothers, how could Yinhu Hede have come to where he is today? It is better to say that Yinhu Hede is the elder brother who has troubled me. I don't live up to it, and I haven't won the true love of Huang Ama in the palace these years, which has disappointed my brothers time and time again. This time, I don't know how Huang Ama will pursue it. If it affects your brothers, Yinhu will really be ashamed Thank you brothers for your support."

"You don't need to be like this, Lord Belle. We have already prepared for the consequences of this incident." , but compared to the beginning, it can be said to be precarious. Among the princes, who else can take on the position of prince except our eighth master?"

"Lord Niu Hulu is right," Wang Hongxu said with a slight frown, "but recently, the emperor seems to want to support Si Beile. Last time, he praised Si Beile a lot, especially the sentence of "Take care of the Holy One". It deserves a lot of good things from others. Moreover, Si Bei Le was raised by the late Empress Xiao Yi, if you look into it carefully, there will be a lot to say."

"Your Majesty Wang, don't worry," Elundai said with the corners of his lips curled up. "After all, Empress Xiaoyi is the daughter of Tong Jia's family. If she wants to have more sons, she has to explain to Tong Jia's family. At the beginning, the fourth elder brother was granted the title of Tong Jia." In the matter of Jue and later Princess Wenxian, Tong Jiashi has already torn skins with the fourth elder brother, and now they can't get together no matter what. My uncle will not sit back and watch the fourth elder brother step on Tong Jiashi and climb up step by step. The position of prince."

"It's so good," Wang Hongxu stroked his beard and said, "With the assistance of Master Tong and A Ling'a, the current predicament is just a fleeting moment for Babeile. No matter what punishment we receive, we can rest assured gone."

"Thank you, brothers, and thank you Tong Lao and A Ling'a for your many plans for Yinhu," Eighth Brother leaned over again.

Everyone returned the salute, but Nalan Kuixu, who was sitting in the corner, darkened secretly.

Into the night

The fourth elder brother was lying on the couch, holding Grandpa Su in his arms and whispering, "Go back to the mansion with me tomorrow, I have business to do."

"Go and do what you want," Su Wei covered his ears with one hand, "I won't go back home with you."

"What did you say?" Fourth elder brother narrowed his eyes, "I have already solved the Rubik's Cube, why don't you go back home with me?"

"I said at the beginning that we can only meet each other after solving the Rubik's Cube, but I didn't say that if we solve the Rubik's Cube, we have to return home," Su Wei raised his chin, very proudly.

In the next second, someone gnawed on the haughty chin, "Young Master, I have to go back home!"

"No!" Eunuch Su is familiar with the matter of resistance, "My shop has just opened, and I have to watch it all the time. It's too inconvenient to come in and out of the mansion. Besides, why did I leave the mansion for you?" It’s not that I don’t know, what’s the difference between going back now and back then?”

"You—" the fourth elder brother gritted his teeth for a long time, "Then I have to run out of Beijing to see you once. Isn't it more inconvenient for you to go back and forth in Beijing and out of Beijing?"

"There is a place to live behind the shop," Su Wei sat down cross-legged, "Brother Wang lives behind the shop, and there is a room vacant. I was thinking—"

"Don't even think about it!" The fourth elder brother turned cold and interrupted someone's wishful thinking, "Even if you don't go back home, you are not allowed to live with other men!"

"What are you afraid of living in a room by yourself?" Eunuch Su didn't want to be outdone, "It's also very hard for me to travel back and forth every day."

The fourth elder brother stared at Su Wei for a long time, then took a deep breath and said, "The Lord will set up a yard for you near Xitangzi Hutong, and you will live with the guards, Xiaoyingzi, and Kukui."

"Buy a yard," Eunuch Su said with starry eyes, "How big is the yard?"

"What kind of courtyard do you want to live in?" The fourth elder brother leaned on one arm, "A courtyard is almost enough, and the courtyard is small and easy to guard. I can go there whenever I want to see you. However, there is one thing——"

The fourth elder brother stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Su Wei, "Your Brother Wang, Brother Zhang, and Brother Li are not allowed to take it there!"

Su Wei pursed his lips and turned his head to ignore him for a long time.The fourth elder brother didn't care about it, and he thought to himself, "The Niu Hulu family is about to give birth, if Huang Ama really wants to support me, it will be almost the same in half a year, but I don't know what kind of title it is."

Su Wei blinked, turned around and said, "Are you going to promise the emperor? Are you afraid of being attacked by two sides?"

"Didn't you say that my master is different from the king of Zhijun?" The fourth elder brother bent his lips at Su Wei, "My master is no longer a horny man, I can do whatever Huang Ama wants me to do. Just like As you said, the current crown prince position is not of much value, the key to this fight is not who replaces the second brother, but who replaces Huang Ama."

"Then, do you have any specific plans?" Su Wei pursed his lips, "What exactly does the emperor want you to mess with?"

The fourth elder brother sighed, "Compared with the second elder brother, the elder brother has the upper hand now. Huang Ama chose me because of my enmity with Yinhu. However, if you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid It will attack the second brother, after all, the reserve position is vacant, and other people will have a chance."

"Then we still have to deal with the eighth elder brother now." Su Wei leaned on his chin and thought for a while, "Can the Taoist priests I arranged before be used?"

The fourth elder brother raised the corners of his lips, "Those Taoist priests, I am indeed useful, but not now. There are many ways to deal with the old eight, but I am very worried now."

"What are you worried about?" Su Wei scratched the back of his head.

"Did you forget?" The fourth elder brother lowered his voice, "At the time, Prime Minister Ming had evidence that Suo'etu had an excessive relationship with the confidential ministers of the court, and Tuo Heqi and others were still hiding in the dark. If this evidence falls In the hands of Lao Ba, I am afraid that he will be greatly used. At that time, it may be difficult for the second brother to have a chance to stand up."

"This is the crown prince and Suo Xiang torturing themselves," Su Wei sighed, "If the crown prince is pulled down because of this incident, the emperor will not blame the Lord, will he?"

"It's really hard to say," the fourth elder brother smiled bitterly, "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold..."

"Don't scare me," Su Wei raised his eyebrows, "I asked you to fight for the crown, not to kill you. If it's really dangerous, you might as well be an idle prince."

"Don't worry," the fourth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief, sat up and wrapped Su Wei up, "As long as you are safe and sound, even if you are thrown into hell, you can crawl out..."

The fifth day of the first lunar month

The fourth elder brother went directly to Changchun Garden from Liangzhuang in the suburbs of Beijing. Lord Kangxi summoned the fourth elder brother in the inner hall of the Nine Classics and Three Affairs Hall.

"My son Yinzhen pays respects to Huang Ama," the fourth elder brother lifted the hem of his robe and knelt down to salute.

"Get up," Lord Kangxi put aside the booklet in his hand, "I haven't seen you for a few days, where have you been?"

"Huihuang Ama," the fourth elder brother bowed his head and cupped his hands, "My son was thinking, and stayed in Liangzhuang in the suburbs of Beijing for a few days to settle his thoughts."

"Oh?" Lord Kangxi raised his eyebrows, "What are you thinking about? Tell me and listen."

The fourth elder brother pursed his lips, then formally knelt down and said, "I have been serving the emperor's father since I was a child. I have been taught by the emperor for a long time, and I am really ashamed to be praised by the emperor's father during the New Year. I have been taught by the emperor's father. In the past ten years, the emperor has never reprimanded his son and minister for being indecisive. Therefore, the son-in-law privately thought that the changes from the province for many years have been in line with the emperor's father's insight. Today, the son-in-law I am nearly thirty years old, and I have decided to act with my heart. The four characters of moodiness and anger are related to the life of my son. My son looks up to the sage and kindness, and asks the emperor to record the four characters of moodiness and anger in the previous edict.

Hearing the words, Lord Kangxi curled his lips slightly, and then told Liang Jiugong, Li Yu and others to recite, "I have not seen Si elder brother being in a state of moodiness in more than ten years now. What I said before was really accidental. Encouraging meaning, there is no need to record this phrase!"

Liang Jiugong and Li Yu took the order to go, and the fourth elder brother half knelt down and said, "I thank Huang Ama for your kindness."

Lord Kangxi raised the corners of his mouth and nodded in relief.
