Kangxi 46 years

November 24, Cheng Luxuan

As the sky was getting brighter, Zhang Qilin bowed into the bedroom of the fourth elder brother, "My lord, the breakfast has been delivered."

"En," the fourth elder brother fastened his belt, looked at the figure in the bed tent, turned his head and told Zhang Qilin, "I'll be in charge of the dining room later and ask for a bowl of hangover soup."

"Yes," Zhang Qilin lowered his head, picked up the fourth brother's hat, and followed him out of the room.The figure in the tent turned over naked, buried his head in the quilt and continued meeting Duke Zhou.

The fourth elder brother sat in the inner hall to have breakfast, Zhang Qilin asked in a low voice while serving the soup, "My lord, shall we continue to stay in the Changchun Garden tonight, or go to the Yuanmingyuan? There are not enough people serving there, the servants have to go early Get ready."

The fourth elder brother took a bite of the puff pastry bun, thinking about the big and small things of the past few days, pondered for a moment, and just when he was about to speak, Fu Nai came hurriedly from outside.

"My lord, the guards of the capital surrounded the mansions of the six ministers this morning. The emperor issued an order to call all the courtiers and relatives of the clan to enter the Changchun Garden immediately to discuss matters!"

The fourth elder brother paused, and after a while, he put down his chopsticks and wiped his hands, "This time, I can't leave even if I want to."

Wu Yi Zhai

After the prince changed into his court clothes, he walked slowly to the porch. Longkodo and a team of guards were waiting not far or near by the gravel road.

"Your Highness," the fat little Chuzi walked behind the Prince holding a fox fur cloak, "It's cold, and the Arrow Hall is far away from us, Your Highness should wear it."

The prince slightly bent his mouth, his deep eyes skipped Longkodo and the others who were waiting, and drifted towards the mountains and rivers. "At this time of year, farmers should have winter rest, right?"

The fat little Chuzi blinked, closed the cloak in his arms, and said, "It's not Laba yet. When the servant is at home, he has to go to the fields with his parents at this time to gather straw, pick ears of wheat, and store winter goods. If a When the harvest of the year is good, you can rest well at the end of the year."

The prince chuckled lightly, and said warmly, "That's how it is. Working at sunrise and resting at sunset, the life of the people is not easy. However, although the hardship is a bit bitter, there is always hope. There is nothing compared to staying here. I don’t know how many times happier I would be in the lively Biwa Zhushui? It’s a pity that I am doomed to die in this square cage..."

"Your Highness—" Xiao Chuzi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Long Kedo.

"His Royal Highness, it's getting late, we should go to the Arrow Hall."

"Understood." The crown prince turned away his perplexed face, turned to Xiao Chuzi and said, "You don't have to go today, just clean and clean the bedrooms for the main hall. I just let Xiao Weizi take care of me."

"Yes," the fat little Chuzi saluted, and stood on the porch, watching the prince's thinner back go further and further away.

"Eunuch Zheng," the eunuch An Huai walked carefully behind the fat little Chuzi, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness is going to court today to discuss matters, why did Long Live send someone to pick him up? Is it the same as the guard commander who was arrested last night?" Is something related? I heard that the ministers from central Beijing have all rushed to Changchun Garden early in the morning. Lord Long Live also made a special decree to discuss matters in the Daximen Arrow Hall today."

Xiao Chuzi was silent for a long while, did not answer An Huai's words, turned around and walked into the house while ordering, "I want to take Xiao Wuzi out for a while, you go and tidy up Your Highness's bedroom."

An Huai secretly rolled his eyes, and answered "Yes" perfunctorily.

Chenshi, Daximen Arrow Hall

The ministers who were urgently summoned to Changchun Garden gathered together in twos and threes, and various speculations were rampant.And the six ministers who were sent all the way to Changchun Garden by the guards were even more restless at this time.

Geng E and Qi Shiwu all frowned, and layers of cold sweat oozed from their foreheads.

Tuo Heqi, who was "on medical leave" still did not show up today, Geng E knocked his fists twice, and said in a low voice, "We are too careless, yesterday I heard that Master Tuo Heqi suddenly reported illness, we should Be alert!"

"What's the use of being vigilant?" Qi Shiwu said with a gloomy face, "The emperor has already set his sights on us, and even Tuo Heqi stumbled. Even if we react, we can't escape! Right now, the family members in the mansion are Being locked up by the guards, and there is no news from Northwest and Jiangnan, what else can we do but capture without a fight?"

"Master Qi, don't say the word," Du Tong Eshan said in a low voice, "As the saying goes, there is no way out if there is no way out, and there is another village. There is a prince. As long as the prince is still alive, we have a chance to revive. Therefore, the two adults must remember that even if you lose the whole family in a while, don’t drag the prince into the ditch. That is our last life-saving Straw!"

"Lord Dutong is right," Geng E pursed his lips, "Let's play it by ear, no matter what happens for a while, the priority is to keep the crown prince."

Qi Shiwu nodded slowly, following the movement of a group of courtiers, he glared fiercely at the few people beside the steps with his dark eyes, "It's that old man who borrowed the oily hair we had at the banquet during the funeral of King Anjun." On impeachment. The papers that had been suppressed by Dali Temple have been turned up by him in the past few days. If this guy hadn't been aggressive, the emperor would not have been in such a hurry to deal with us."

"Behind Lord Zhen Guo is Babeile," E Shan sighed, "It's too late to say anything now, we have finally become the defeat of others."

"The prince is here—" a voice sang outside, and the prince and Long Kedo entered the arrow hall one by one.

Some of the courtiers bent down to salute, some whispered to each other, the prince walked all the way to the front without squinting, and further up was the dragon chair of the martial arts platform.

"Will Huang Ama blame the second elder brother today?" Yinxiang stood next to the fourth elder brother and whispered, "I heard that Lord Zhen Guo has published several memorials in succession in the past few days."

The fourth elder brother pursed the corners of his lips and sighed softly, "The building is already in a state of collapse. As the saying goes, the monkeys scattered when the trees fell, and those who fell into trouble should also jump out. Just watch, it's quite lively. "

"Chenzheng—" The eunuch Si Li walked into the arrow hall, and the courtiers immediately lined up.

"Sing the whip, kneel!"

Three whips sounded, and the officials bowed their heads.

"Kneel again!"

Long live everyone, Lord Kangxi walked all the way to the martial arts viewing platform.

"Kneel three times!"

Kowtowing for the last time, Lord Kangxi raised his hand and shouted, "Everyone's family is in peace!"

The fourth elder brother looked up at the prince's back, and was in a daze for a moment. Since when did the Lord of the Eastern Palace, which he needed to look up to touch, become so thin and thin.Seen from the back, the yellow Panlong belt was wrapped almost twice, and the braid hanging behind the head was silver-gray, looking from a distance, there was no luster at all.

"Your Majesty," King Jingxi of Zhen Guo knelt down and began to play, "Your Majesty, please abolish the fact that the family members of courtiers such as Tuo Heqi, E Shan, Qi Shiwu, etc. had a banquet and formed a party during the funeral of King An Jun. I have collected many evidences, Also ask the Holy Majesty to judge impartially!"

"I have already understood this matter," Lord Kangxi held the dragon's head with one hand, "Now that the external aggression is not over, and internal worries still exist, there are ministers of the state who are helping the crown prince to form friends. My heart really hurts!"

Yinfeng bowed his head and knelt, and Lord Kangxi looked straight out of the hall without looking at the prince, "All the ministers are people who have been employed by me, and they have been favored for 50 years. Those who are attached to the crown prince, such as Dutong Eshan and Shangshu Geng E and Qi Shiwu, what do you intend to do?"

E Shan, Geng E, and Qi Shiwu all panicked and knelt down, shouting their injustice.

E Shan bowed his head and said, "Please learn from the emperor. If you really know the kindness of the emperor's support and employment, how dare you hide it?"

Geng E and Qi Shiwu agreed one after another, refusing to admit the matter of forming cliques.

Lord Kangxi sighed coldly, "I heard that you and others have been traveling for a long time, and because the interviews did not reveal the facts, they sent people to question Dutu, Zhang Boliang and other villains. Now that everything is clear, you should stop making sophistry! People, bring the coated Zhang Boliang to the palace!"

At the same time, black clouds were overwhelming the city in the Hall of Arrows, and Cheng Luxuan was indeed in a hurry.

Dagong Su, who was completely awakened by a bowl of hangover soup, stepped on his boots dissatisfiedly, took two pieces of pastries and ran outside.

Seeing this, Xiaoyingzi quickly put on his hat and chased him out, "Master, slow down, it's already this hour, the prince has already gone to court, it's useless for you to rush over."

"What do you know?" Su Wei kept turning his head and glaring at Xiao Yingzi, "Today is a special situation, we have to stay outside the arrow hall to inquire about news at any time, how can Zhang Bao come here alone? Don't be afraid, never be afraid, I'm afraid that Long Live Lord will be unhappy—"

"boom!"

Before Su Wei could finish his sentence, he bumped into the oncoming person.The person who came was obviously much stronger than him, and Su Weicai managed to stand still after taking several steps back.

"Eunuch Su," the fat little Chuzi said with a pale face, followed by a little eunuch carrying a food box.

"It's Eunuch Zheng from Yuqing Palace," Su Wei rubbed his sore shoulder, he still had a good impression of this new little beginner.

The fat little Chuzi moved forward a few steps, and helped his hat that was knocked crookedly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Su, I didn't see the road clearly with my head down."

"It's okay, it's okay," Su Wei waved his hands again and again, "I was just talking, and I didn't see anyone in front of me. Eh?" Su Wei looked behind the fat little Chuzi, "Eunuch Zheng, is this for you?" The crown prince offers meals?"

The fat little Chuzi's face froze, and he invisiblely blocked Su Wei's sight, "No, I ate it myself."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Eunuch Zheng has worked really hard..." Su Wei smiled to smooth things over, but question marks lit up in his mind. The eunuch who was carrying the food box kept his head down, and his face was tightly covered by a big cap. Strictly.

"Don't delay Eunuch Su, let's go first," the fat little Chuzi bowed his head to Su Wei.

Su Wei quickly returned the salute, and slowly retreated to the side of the road, his eyes still vaguely aimed at the mysterious eunuch.

The fat little Chuzi took two steps forward, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, "Eunuch Su!"

"Huh?" Grandpa Su, who was peeping at someone's profile, was startled.

The fat little Chuzi turned around, his pale face becoming indifferent, "I wonder if Eunuch Su has an errand? If not urgent, can you help me with the next small favor? Your Highness ordered me to go to the stables, but unfortunately my habit of horses I'm not familiar with it, I'm afraid I'll miss His Highness's affairs."

Su Wei blinked his eyes, then nodded after weighing in his mind.
