Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 46 years

At the end of March, the southern tour camp

In the prince's tent, the atmosphere was stagnant.The fat little Chuzi stood motionless behind the prince while holding the cold tea.

Delin carefully looked at the prince's gloomy face, thought for a moment and cupped his hands, "Your Highness, the assassination of Prince Yong may be just a coincidence. After all, the assassination of the prince at this time is just to scare the snake, and it is for no reason to attract the attention of the Holy Majesty. Let the adults together Even if you didn't follow His Highness's orders completely, you wouldn't act so recklessly."

"Whether they did it or not, this hall is hard to get off now," the prince sighed coldly, stood up and walked to the window, "if it weren't for these people's unruly wildness and strange ideas, they would use the means of this hall to kill them." There was a storm among the people. The rumors about the Third Prince Zhu would not be out of the control of the palace for a while, and finally caused chaos in the capital of Tiandihui. If this matter is not exposed as soon as possible, I am afraid that in the end, it will not be settled with a few gossips. "

Delin frowned and walked behind the prince, bowed his head slightly and said, "It's also a slave's negligence. If Wei Min had been dealt with earlier, Tuo Heqi and the others might have known how to restrain themselves."

"Restraint?" The prince chuckled, "A single Wei Min is not enough. For the current plan, this hall can only see the tricks... Let someone hand over Zhao Shenqiao's booklet, and let's borrow it from the Tiandihui I hope that the long-term planning of this hall will not come to naught because of a few brave and foolish waste."

At night, Prince Yong's Mansion

Fu Nai entered the East Courtyard, and cupped his hands at Zhang Bao, who was watching the night in the main hall, "Eunuch Zhang, has your lord rested yet?"

"Master Fu," Zhang Bao returned the gift, lifted the curtain to look at the inner hall, turned his head and said, "The light is still on in the bedroom, the prince has ordered you before, if Lord Fu comes back, I will let you enter the bedroom to answer the question." .”

"This—" Fu Nai was stunned for a moment, Zhang Bao had already entered the room to report.

After a while, Zhang Bao walked out of the door and said, "My lord is still awake, please go in, my lord."

Fu Nai pursed his lips. He didn't know why the prince asked him to enter the bedroom to answer. He always felt that it was inconvenient, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He lowered his head and entered the inner hall, and gently pushed open the door of the bedroom. He knelt down in the middle of the room without daring to lift his head and said, "My servant greets the lord, I disturbed the lord's sleep at night, please forgive me."

There was a rustling sound of brocade cotton rubbing in the tent, and occasionally one person whispered softly, as if he was awakened from a deep sleep, and he was complaining to another person in a daze.

Fu Nai's body became more and more stiff, and he could guess who the other person in the tent was almost without guessing, just like although he didn't dare to look up, he could still see the prince's bed, and the blue brocade boots painted with gold and cloud patterns. A pair of black palace forged boots are placed side by side.

"Get up, let's go outside and talk," the fourth elder brother lifted the curtain, put on his coat, put on a pair of sandals and stood up.

The other person on the bed groaned twice, turned over, pressed a quilt under his body, and continued to meet Zhou Gong in a big character shape, without showing any intention of getting up to serve him.

With his head down, Fu Nai, covered in cold sweat, followed closely behind the fourth elder brother, and left the bedroom.

Candles were already lit in the inner hall, Zhang Bao came over with hot tea and snacks, the fourth elder brother sat on the couch, and pointed to a chair for Fu Nai to sit on too.

"I don't dare," Fu Nai waved his hands again and again. At this moment, he couldn't care less about why the lord made him go to the bedroom, so he could only push it repeatedly, not daring to go beyond the rules.

The fourth elder brother didn't force it, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, "Don't think about it too much, you have been with me for so many years, and you already know it in your heart. I avoid it every time, and I am so tired Panic."

"My lord, don't worry," Fu Nai hurriedly leaned over and said, "This slave will definitely live up to his trust and promotion, and will do his best to protect the safety of your lord and Eunuch Su."

The fourth elder brother curled his lips and nodded, "Back then, you were the only one who was my subordinate when I was granted the title of Baylor. Chang Lai and Shen Tingzheng were even worse. Now it seems that this king really That's right."

"I don't dare," Fu Nai lowered his head and took a step back.

"What you just said is right to the point," the fourth elder brother put down the tea bowl, "Su Peisheng's safety is my bottom line, as long as you can protect him no matter when and where, I will be able to protect you. In other words," the fourth elder brother paused, "If Su Peisheng has good or bad things, and others have big reasons, this king will never tolerate it."

"I understand, my lord, please rest assured," Fu Nai knelt down on one knee.

"I believe you, get up," the fourth elder brother pursed his lips, and picked up a piece of snack to eat, "This time the king was assassinated in the hunting garden, and he was also frightened. After all, there is something about Liangxiang Zhuangzi First. He will suspect you, but he just thought about it for a while, so don't mind it in your heart."

"Your Majesty is serious," Fu Nai hurriedly cupped his hands, "I have known Eunuch Su for seven or eight years, and I have some understanding of Eunuch Su's personality, so I definitely won't misunderstand Eunuch Su just because of these trivial matters. Mansion The rest of the guards in the palace, the servants will also warn and advise, and the servants admire Su Gonggong for being kind and decisive in situations, and will never cause trouble for Su Gonggong, please rest assured."

"That's good, I don't like to intrigue with my own people the most." The fourth elder brother leaned back on the cushion, and after Su Wei explained the matter, he changed the serious topic and said, "The gang of assassins from the Tiandihui How is the investigation going? Where did the rumors among the people come from?"

"Returning to the prince," Fu Nai also resumed his normal tone, "the Tiandihui indeed planned this assassination on its own, with the purpose of avenging the former Ming prince and strengthening the momentum of the Tiandihui. It's not easy, the servants asked the secret agents of various government departments to inquire about it, and finally learned that what the third prince Zhu said was actually manipulated by Yuqing Palace secretly, and Tuo Heqi and Qi Shiwu greatly instigated it to cause today's situation."

"Is it the second brother's handwriting?" The fourth elder brother frowned, "Why did you make such a dangerous move? If this is a bad thing, it is the crime of treason by confiscating the family and exterminating the entire family."

"My servant guesses," Fu Nai said, pursing his lips, "His Royal Highness is trying to use folk rumors to divert the attention of the Holy Majesty, so as to expose the impeachment of Tuo Heqi and others by Zhen Guo Gong Jingxi."

"If it's just to divert your attention," the fourth elder brother lowered his voice, "this movement is too loud. From the capital to the south of the Yangtze River, there are rumors that the third prince Zhu's lineage has restored the Ming Dynasty. Huang Ama's southern tour Sacrificial offerings to the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty failed to suppress these voices, so isn't Second Brother afraid that things will come out?"

"By the way, my lord, there is one more thing." Fu Nai suddenly remembered something, "A few days ago, a corpse was disposed of in Tuoheqi's mansion. According to the spies' report, it seems that a carriage was thrown at the back door in the middle of the night. Yes. Tuoheqi hurriedly recruited Qi Shiwu and Geng E to go to the government to discuss, and even buried the corpse secretly."

"This Tuoheqi has been impeached so many times, and there are still so many movements in the house." The fourth elder brother pressed his eyebrows with one hand, "Someone will find out the identity of the corpse, and then send people to watch them a few more times." A little more. If there is a change in the second brother's place, these people will definitely bear the brunt."

"Yes," Fu Nai bowed to accept the order, and after reporting everything, he saluted and left.

There was the sound of clappers at the third watch outside, and the fourth elder brother was still leaning on the soft couch thoughtful, Zhang Bao changed the tea twice, trying to persuade the fourth elder brother to go to bed and rest, but he didn't dare to interrupt his prince's thoughts for a while.

There was the sound of kicking and tapping footsteps in the bedroom, and the fourth elder brother suddenly came back to his senses. Zhang Bao watched the bedroom door being pushed open, and quickly retreated outside the house.

Su Wei came to the fourth elder brother sleepily, without even a robe on, and the shoes on his feet were turned backwards. He sat on the couch and still looked awake.

The fourth elder brother moved to Su Wei's side with a funny face, unfolded the robe he was wearing, and wrapped the two of them together, "Go back to sleep with me, everything is over here. I am so sleepy, and I still struggle to get out of bed What are you doing up?"

"I'm hungry," Su Wei pursed his lips, squinted his eyes and looked around, and got two pieces of snacks from behind the fourth elder brother, "I just dreamed about eating roast suckling pig, and you disappeared when I woke up... ..."

At the beginning of April, Luanjia is approaching the suburbs of Beijing

A memorial written by Zhao Shenqiao, the censor of Zuodu, was placed in front of Lord Kangxi, and Dai Mingshi, the editor of the Imperial Academy, said, "Stealing the literary name arbitrarily, relying on talent to be dissolute. When I was a student, I engraved an anthology privately and talked freely. , upside down right and wrong, crazy language."

Dai Mingshi was a Jinshi in the 45th year of Kangxi. He was born in Tongcheng, Anhui.When Dai Mingshi was young, he aspired to study history. He traveled extensively in Yanzhao, Qilu, Heluo, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places, and wrote more than a hundred ancient essays. Later, his disciple You Yun'e compiled and published the ancient essays, named "Nanshan Jiouchao" .

Now, it has been seven or eight years since "Nanshan Collection" was published, but for some reason it was dug up by Zuodu Yushi and impeached.It is only said that there are words of great disrespect in it, and it even records the tragic death of King Gui of the former Ming Dynasty.

Because of the widespread rumors among the people, there was an incident in Beijing where the Tiandihui assassinated Prince Yong. Lord Kangxi was very disturbed. When he saw such a book, he immediately sent it to the Ministry of Punishment for strict investigation.

On the eighth day of April, Shengjia returns to Luang

All the princes entered the palace to pay their respects, and Lord Kangxi squinted his eyes at the fourth elder brother for a long time and said, "Your mansion has been unstable since you built it. I think it's because the mansion is not well repaired. Let the craftsmen rebuild it. Don't press it." Luck. Looking back, I will reward you with a garden, so as to save you from the lack of thoughtfulness in the self-built ones."

"My son made Huang Ama worry." The fourth elder brother bowed and bowed, "This time, my son is also a blessing in disguise. I have caught many disciples of the Heaven and Earth Society hiding in the capital, and there will be even bigger troubles in the future." gone."

"The fourth brother's words are reasonable," the eighth elder brother stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "I don't know if Huang Ama has heard of it. Recently, there have been rumors among the common people that the third prince Zhu is coming back, and it is going to intensify. I don't know where it came from, I'm afraid that those remnants of the previous Ming Dynasty will use this to cause trouble again and tarnish the name of Emperor Ama."

"There are no remnants of the past today." Kangxi leaned on the dragon chair with a tired expression, "It's just some clowns who use some wild history storytelling to satisfy their own selfish desires. Such people can't achieve great things .”

"Huang Ama is right," said the fourteenth elder brother, "Huang Ama governs the world in peace, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. No matter how hard these people struggle, they will not be able to make money. Huang Ama is also tired after traveling all the way. It's better to rest earlier."

The fourth elder brother took a look at the fourteenth elder brother, and bowed his hands to the emperor, "The emperor should take a good rest, and the son will take his leave first."

The fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother are going to leave, and the other princes cannot stay, and they each salute and leave.

Lord Kangxi leaned on the dragon chair and waved his hands casually, looking as if he was really tired.

After leaving Qianqing Palace, Yinti walked to the side of the fourth elder brother, pursed his lips and said, "Did the fourth elder brother get injured when he was assassinated? Is the injury better?"

"It's okay," the fourth elder brother lowered his head and straightened his cuffs, "It's just a little scratch, and it's healed now."

"That's good," Yinti cleared his throat, "I brought the best glutinous muscle ointment from Jiangnan, and I'll ask Xiao Ruizi to send some over—"

"Yinti is quite valued by Huang Ama now," the king of Ten Age Dun rushed up from behind and interrupted the conversation between the two brothers, "Are you going to Jiangnan with Huang Ama and talk Come with more confidence.”

"Yinyu," the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother also followed, and they saluted the fourth elder brother.

The eighth elder brother seemed to be concerned, "How is the fourth brother's injury? My brother heard that the assassins were very fierce. The fourth brother was able to escape this time, thanks to Huang Ama's blessing." Zebless."

The fourth elder brother laughed lightly, stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "The emperor's blessings are profound, as long as a son sticks to some loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, he will always be sheltered, and Yin Si doesn't have to be overly envious."

"You—" Dunjun Wang heard the sarcasm in the fourth elder brother's words, and just about to speak, he was stopped by the eighth elder brother's hand.

"My younger brother would like to follow my elder brother's instruction," the eighth elder brother lowered his head slightly, "please also fourth brother take care of your health in the future..."
