Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 46 years

September 29, Palace

The fourth elder brother was summoned into the palace, and Su Wei followed behind. Along the way, he saw many cabinet ministers, all of whom buried their heads in their heads in disgrace. It is obvious that the Long Live Lord has become angry this time.

Arriving at the Rijing Gate, the great eunuch Liang Jiugong was waiting by his side. Seeing the fourth elder brother leaning over and saluting, he said in a soft voice, "The emperor hasn't had a good rest these few days, and it's inevitable that he will be involved in the Jiangnan scientific research. I became angry. After a while, the prince will go in, don't be stubborn, there are already several adults who have been punished."

"My king knows it, thank you for reminding me, father-in-law," the fourth elder brother nodded slightly at Liang Jiugong, looked back at Su Wei, and turned to enter the Rijing Gate.

Due to his status, Su Wei couldn't follow the fourth elder brother in and out of the Qianqing Palace at will at this time, so he could only stay outside the Rijing Gate temporarily.

"Eunuch Liang." Seeing the fourth elder brother go in, Su Wei smiled and moved closer to Liang Jiugong, "I haven't seen Eunuch Liang and Mr. Gu for a while. This Long Live Lord is not feeling well, and Eunuch Liang is afraid that it will be even worse." It's hard work. If you need anything, you can just pass on a word, the little one is in the palace, and it is easier to come and go than the palace."

Liang Jiugong glanced at Su Wei, and curled his lips, "Eunuch Su, we are also old acquaintances. It's better to avoid the detours of inquiring about news. Our family never said that Long Live Lord has any physical discomfort. It's just that the recent government affairs are complicated, and Long Live Lord inevitably thinks too much."

"Yo, that's a small misunderstanding," Su Wei scratched the back of his head foolishly, "However, if Eunuch Liang has anything to ask, you can come to Rijing's door and let me know in the morning, and the small ones will never refuse. "

"Grandpa Su, you're being polite." Liang Jiugong lowered his head and rolled up his sleeves. "However, our family has not seen Mr. Su outside the Rijing Gate for a long time. It seems that most of the people who follow the prince into the palace on weekdays are Are those two father-in-laws surnamed Zhang?"

"Um—" Su Wei paused for two seconds, then smiled resolutely, "It's the same, and it's the same when looking for them. Hehe, haha..."

Qianqing Palace

"What's wrong with you?" The fourth elder brother just stepped into the threshold of the inner hall when a memorial fell to his feet.

"Please Huang Ama calm down." The fourth elder brother bent down and knelt down, "It's my servant who is not good at handling things, and the employer is unknown. My servant is willing to be punished."

"Hmph," Lord Kangxi sneered, "Punishment? What's the use of punishing you? The Nanshanji case hasn't been settled yet, yet Enke has made such a big joke this time! How can you tell me to block the Nanshanji case? How can you appease the hearts of poor students from all over the world?"

"It's all my son's fault," the fourth elder brother lowered his head, "Because of Enke's haste, the candidates for the examiners in all state capitals followed the old rules of previous years, and there was no further investigation. My son really didn't expect such a big mistake to happen. I also ask Huang Ama to give my son another chance, so that my son will pay off his merits. My son is willing to go to the south of the Yangtze River in person to completely solve the matter of the examiner taking bribes, so as to reassure the people."

"Completely solve it?" Master Kangxi took a breath, leaned back on the chair slowly, looked at the fourth elder brother without any waves in his eyes, "How do you want to solve it completely? Tell me."

The fourth elder brother pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "Qiu Wei is a matter of great concern to the country, anyone who dares to profit from it will be killed without mercy!"

After noon, the fourth elder brother walked out of the Qianqing Palace.

Seeing this, Su Wei rushed up to greet him, and said in a soft voice, "What did Lord Long Live say? Did you blame me?"

"Blame is inevitable," the fourth elder brother breathed out slowly, "The case of Nanshan Ji put Huang Ama in a dilemma, adding Enke was originally intended to appease the students all over the world, but who knows what happened. Appeasement has become a naked irony. Huang Ama did not punish the crime, which is already extraordinarily merciful. I originally wanted to ask Huang Ama to go to Jiangnan to investigate in person, so that the merits and crimes will be paid, but Huang Ama did not agree. "

Su Wei blinked, and followed the fourth elder brother to the palace gate, "I can't blame you for what happened this time. Enke drove in such a hurry that he didn't have time to select the examiners one by one. I guess it's because of other For the matter, I suffocated my anger, just in time for you to catch up."

"Other things?" The fourth elder brother turned his head and glanced at Su Wei, "Apart from the case of Nanshan Ji, what else can there be?"

"Of course there is," Su Wei tiptoed to the fourth prince's side, "Even though Eunuch Liang's mouth is very tight, and he doesn't eat hard and soft, he still leaked it to me more or less. Lord Long Live came back from Rehe Palace, still in a good mood." Not bad, it was only after meeting the eighth elder brother that I started to have restless nights."

"Old Ba!" The fourth elder brother pondered for a moment, "On the day he met Huang Ama, I overheard Lao Jiu and Lao Shi talking about it as they passed by. Looking at it now, things on that day were really not simple."

On the first day of October, Yuqing Palace

Early in the morning, Delin rushed in, and before he could greet him, he shouted anxiously, "Your Highness, it's not good!"

The prince, who was planning to fold, paused, and the last stroke became a dark ink dot, "Find out? Yinhu met Huang Ama that day, and it really has something to do with me?"

"Yes," Delin knelt on the ground and lowered his head, "The slave got the news that what Babeile submitted to the emperor that day was all the evidence of Nalan Mingzhu's investigation of Suo Xiang's clique. I'm afraid that Tuo Heqi, Qi Shiwu, etc. All the adults are among them!"

The end of the pen that was gradually drying up trembled slightly in the prince's hand, and Xiao Chuzi stood aside, pursing his lips, looking at the memorial covered with mottled ink marks, thinking for some reason.

"After all, this day has come." The prince slowly put down the pen holder, "I feel a lot more at ease to be honest with Huang Ama, and it's all thanks to Yinhu."

"Your Highness," De Lin stood up anxiously, and followed the prince to the window, "If Lord Long Live finds out about your relationship with Lords Tuo Heqi and Qi Shiwu, even if you don't make any big moves for a while, I'm afraid I will also pay attention to their actions from time to time, so what about the Tai Cangzhou area—His Royal Highness, it is better for you to make a decision early."

"There are such a group of self-assertive slaves, and any decision made by this hall is nothing more than a latent fix," the prince said with a gloomy expression, "It's impossible for Huang Ama to know nothing about the fact that I formed a party with the courtiers. The evidence in Lao Ba's hand What role it can play depends on how Huang Ama treats me now."

The prince turned around and walked to a picture scroll of tigers roaring in the mountains and forests by the window, and lightly brushed the red seal on the edge with his fingers, "Actually, since Suo Xiang raised the banner for me more than [-] years ago, many things have changed. My prince can control it with one hand."

"Your Highness—" De Lin was about to speak out to persuade him, but the prince raised his hand to stop him.

"Go and tell Tuo Heqi that Huang Ama may have noticed their actions. If you want to survive, immediately stop contact with Tai Cangzhou, and stop the deployment of the capital immediately, otherwise," the prince's eyes turned cold, "This hall will also be protected." without them!"

"Yes, the slave takes orders," De Lin bowed his head and saluted.

The prince sighed slowly, turned around and walked behind the desk, and spread out a memorial beside his hand, "Fortunately, the case of Nanshan Ji has not yet been settled, and something happened to Jiangnan Qiuyu, Huang Ama may not be able to treat me. Do it immediately. If this game is played well, there may be a chance to come back."

At the beginning of October, Emperor Kangxi sent Zhang Penghe, Secretary of the Household Department, and Heshou, Governor of Water Transportation, together with Ga Li, Governor of Jiangxi and Jiangnan, and Zhang Boxing, Governor of Jiangsu and Anhui, to investigate the injustice of the Jiangnan Examination Center.The chief examiner Zuo Bifan and the deputy chief examiner Zhao Jin who were in charge of the rural examination were both dismissed and sent to the quality inspection.

Cao Yin of Jiangning Weaving and Li Xu of Suzhou Weaving are in charge of supervising the trial process of this case.

Baye Mansion

After hearing the imperial decree, Orondai rushed to the Baye Mansion one step earlier to wait for the eight princes to return from court.

The two were sitting in the study room, before Erlundai had time to drink tea, he said, "How does Lord Baylor see this incident in the Jiangnan examination hall? I heard that the two Jiang governors, Gali, belong to the prince. Could it be?" Like the Nanshanji case, is the prince aware of Lord Belle's actions and wants to continue to confuse the public?"

"It's too late to confuse the public at this time." Eighth Prince smiled slightly, "A karma is nothing to be afraid of. Huang Amaruo really read the memorial I presented, and a mere Autumn disturbance started. Don't worry about the big storm, just let the second brother deceive himself and others."

"What Baylor said is also reasonable, but Wei Chen is still a little worried," Elundai frowned and said, "Wei Chen's disciples found out that before the emperor issued the imperial edict, the crown prince seemed to have sent someone to contact Zhang Penghe, the Minister of Account Transfer. "

"Zhang Penghe?" The eighth elder brother frowned slightly, "This person has a reputation, and he will not easily get along with others. What's more, the fourth brother is in charge of Enke this time, and I didn't participate at all. The chief and deputy examiner Zuo Both Bifan and Zhao Jin were selected by the fourth brother, and they have nothing to do with us. Even if the second brother has plans, it will not involve us."

"What Lord Baylor said is reasonable, it's the shadow of a snake bowed by Weichen," Elundai laughed at himself, and then he cupped his hands to the eighth elder brother, "Weichen hasn't congratulated Lord Baylor yet, I'm happy to have a unicorn, and Lord Baylor will open up more in the future When the branches and leaves are scattered, our journey is bound to be smoother."

The eighth elder brother paused slightly, pursed his lips and then cupped his hands to Orondai, "Brother accepts your words."

On the tenth day of October, Prince Yong's Mansion

The fourth elder brother was reading a book on the couch. Su Wei shook the hat in his hand boredly, picked up a piece of pastry on the Kang table and ate it, and said to the fourth elder brother with some resentment, "Why are you still so leisurely? Jiangnan Examination Center What about the matter? Let those people investigate it, so it’s nothing to do with us? Will Long Live Lord remember one day and hold you accountable?"

"Don't worry," the fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows and glanced at Su Wei, "Didn't Huang Ama order the Lord to confine his feet in the mansion and think about it? This is the end of the investigation, and the matter of the Jiangnan Examination Center will be with us in the future." It doesn't matter, even if the master wants to intervene, there is no chance right now."

Su Wei puffed up his cheeks, put his hat aside, and mumbled to the fourth elder brother and said, "I think the Lord Long Live is unfair, and it's not your fault at all. Why should you be grounded? If Enke drives Come earlier, so you don’t have to rush to decide on candidates for the examiner? Besides, Jiangnan is so far away from us, who knows what the local situation is, and they don’t even give you time to investigate, so how can you blame us?”

"Okay," the fourth elder brother pulled Su Wei into his arms and let him sit on his own. "You dare to arrange even Huang Ama? You have to be careful when you go out to talk in the future! In the past, when monarchs and ministers did things, only The minister is wrong, how can there be any reason why the king is wrong? Whatever Huang Ama wants to punish, we just have to bear it."

"Tch, I don't know you yet?" Eunuch Su turned his head arrogantly, "You're beautiful, but when something really happens, no one can escape the principle that the winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit! "

The fourth elder brother slightly bent the corners of his mouth, and opened his mouth to bite Su Wei's ear and lip.

"Master," Zhang Bao appeared at the entrance of the inner hall again at an untimely moment, and lowered his head to report, "Nian Fang Fujin personally delivered ginseng soup to the prince, and he is waiting outside the courtyard."

The fourth elder brother frowned, but Su Wei struggled to get off the soft couch unconsciously, "Nian Fujin often comes here these days, didn't you say that Nian Gengyao's status in Sichuan and Shaanxi is getting stronger and stronger? It's only a bowl Tang, don't frown all the time."

The fourth elder brother glared at someone with a wide heart, waved his hands casually and said, "That's all, that's all, let her in!"

"My lord!" When Zhang Baozheng was about to take the order, Zhang Qilin trotted into the East Courtyard like a wind, "My lord, Mr. Gu came to the side door of the garden and said that the lord is going to receive the order in person!"

"Accept the decree?" Su Wei's eyes widened, "Why did the decree go to the side door of the garden? What kind of decree is this?"

Zhang Qilin raised his head, glanced at Su Wei, then turned his head to look at the fourth elder brother, "My lord, what my master brought is the Holy Majesty's secret decree!"

Outside the East Garden Gate,

"My lord, you don't need to be too polite." The consultant helped the fourth elder brother who was about to salute, and took out a roll of bright yellow brocade silk from his sleeve and handed it forward, "This is the secret decree of the long live lord, please keep it well. Long live lord I have ordered, this matter is extremely urgent, keep everything simple, it is related to the rebellion of the rebels in the area of ​​Tai Cangzhou, and I ask the prince to set off today to help the king put down the rebellion!"

"Depart today!" Su Wei didn't have time to sigh, the consultant line had already quietly boarded the carriage as it did when he came, and turned to the long street.

The fourth elder brother unfolded the emperor's secret decree and looked at it, and his heart was suddenly empty, "Tuo Heqi and the others are doing things in the south of the Yangtze River to help the rebellion? They are so daring!"

"The emperor wants you to send troops to suppress the rebellion?" Su Wei raised half of his braids, he cast a shadow on the battlefield.

"It's not just asking me to fight the traitors." The fourth elder brother collected the secret decree and walked back to the East Courtyard with Su Wei, "What Huang Ama means is to let me secretly intercept Tuo Heqi and others from dealing with the traitors in all aspects." support. From this point of view, the second brother may be in danger this time..."
