Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 47 years

February [-]th, outside Nissei Gate

As the sun was getting darker, Deng Yu, the personal eunuch of Brother Thirteen, stood with Su Wei, and said in a low voice, "This morning is not short, masters have been in for almost two hours."

Su Wei moved his numb feet, feeling a little uneasy.

Just as he was talking, Lu Rui, the personal eunuch of Elder Fourteen, approached Su Wei with his eyebrows bent, and said to Su Wei with a smile, "Eunuch Su seldom comes to the palace recently. A few days ago, the servant followed the master to Xilaishun, I couldn't see Eunuch Su either."

"It's really a coincidence," Su Wei responded with a smile on his face, "Our palace is busy recently, and our family has not been free to go out. Next time, if the Fourteenth Master wants to go to Xilaishun again, Eunuch Lu can send someone to inform One sound, our family must be ready early—"

"Eunuch Su is really a capable person who has both sides. Not only is he highly valued by Prince Yong, but he is also taken care of by the Fourteenth Master," a childish voice sounded behind Lu Rui. Rong An, the chief eunuch of the Lord's Mansion.

Rong An has not been with the eighth elder brother for a long time, and he is younger than Lu Rui, but he is very important to the eighth elder brother, and he has a little arrogance unique to teenagers in his gestures.

In the past two years, Su Wei seldom entered the palace with the fourth elder brother. Even if he waited outside the Nizhing Gate, there were always young eunuchs around him, and he seldom had contact with Rong An.Today, for some reason, this young chief eunuch actually found Grandpa Su on his own.

When Deng Yu looked at Rong An, he frowned slightly, but Lu Rui's eyes were shining, and he looked like he didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Su Wei straightened up.Although he was older than Lu Rui and the others, he didn't show any signs of hunchback and hunched shoulders like other eunuchs. He wore a dark blue oriole mending suit, which carried an indifferent power.As many people have said, Su Peisheng really doesn't look like a slave most of the time.

Eunuch Su took two steps forward, and the surrounding eunuchs retreated independently.Su Wei lifted his eyebrows, raised his hand lightly, pointed at Rong An who raised his chin, and asked, "Which family are you from?"

Lu Rui, who was beside Su Wei, hiccupped violently. Su Wei turned to look at him, and said innocently, "This kid has a very handsome face. I don't have any impression of our family. Do you know him?"

Deng Yu swallowed heavily, stepped forward and whispered, "Eunuch Su, this is Eunuch Rong, Rong An, who is serving Babeile."

"Oh," Su Wei was stunned, and then looked at Rong An, who had changed his face, and said full of nostalgia, "This child's tone of voice, our family seems to have not heard it for many years. The last one talked to our family like this Yes, who is here?"

Holding a heart of gossip, Lu Rui approached Su Wei and said, "Who is it?"

"Our family is getting old, let's think about it," Su Wei straightened his sleeves, and then slapped his hands, "Oh, I remembered, this is a father-in-law named He, who used to be a great eunuch who served the prince, but it's a pity -"

"What a pity?" Lu Rui ignored Deng Yu's contemptuous gaze and continued to ask the bottom line.

"It's a pity," Su Wei's eyes turned cold, and when it fell on Rong An, it looked like a poisoned dagger, which made people shudder, "He was shot and killed by our family on the side of the road. Nobody."

The weather in February was still cold at the end of winter, and a gust of cold wind swept through the corridor, and the father-in-laws who were waiting outside the Rijing Gate shrank their shoulders involuntarily.

Rong An's face turned pale, and he wanted to open his mouth to say something more, but the person behind him grabbed the hem of his clothes.

Speaking of Su Peisheng, Prince Yong's respect for him for decades is admirable, but this man's almost legendary promotion path is the main reason why the young eunuchs adore and respect him in every possible way.

Su Peisheng was promoted from Wupin to Eighth Grade because he blatantly violated the imperial physician's order and privately fed rice soup to the fourth elder brother who was suffering from malaria, which saved the fourth elder brother's life.When he was promoted from the eighth rank to the seventh rank, this Eunuch Su risked his disobedience and rescued the newly born Da Gege of the fourth master's mansion.And it is even more legendary to be promoted from the seventh rank to the sixth rank. When this Eunuch Su accompanied the fourth elder brother on the northern expedition to Galdan, he bravely fought against the enemy's secret work alone. Lord Kangxi personally ordered a reward. This honor is Neither Liang Jiugong nor the consultant line have enjoyed it.Because of this, the weight of Su Peisheng's yellow oriole patch is easily unmatched by others.

In recent years, although Su Peisheng seldom appeared in the palace and acted a lot more low-key, but when Prince Yong's mansion was in trouble, he could always be seen.Liangxiang Zhuangzi was attacked, and Su Peisheng led a few maidservants to escape the mountain and save all the female relatives of Siye's mansion.The fourth elder brother was assassinated in the hunting garden, Su Gonggong fired a warning shot and rode his horse to rescue him.The fourth elder brother is suffering from the epidemic, and it is this Grand Duke Su who is guarding the gate of Prince Yong's Mansion.This kind of courage and strategy, even the older eunuchs can't help but praise it when they talk about it.

What is even more attractive is that this Eunuch Su treats people kindly, has a big heart, and handles things openly.Although Su Peisheng is the first in front of Prince Yong, the other eunuchs who serve the fourth elder brother will always have a place in the palace as long as they are loyal to their master.Zhang Bao, Zhang Qilin, and Su Peisheng, who are also reused, are even better like brothers.However, magnanimity does not mean cowardice. Everyone present knows how difficult this Grand Duke Su is.

Rong An, who was always looking for faults, always lacked confidence, and was grabbed by the hem of his clothes, so he could only swallow the suffocation in his chest, and walked aside with a serious face.

Su Wei didn't really care about Rong An's provocation, but he was very surprised, how could the people around Eighth Brother be so reckless all of a sudden?

"Eunuch Su," Deng Yu reminded, "Eunuch Liang is out!"

Holding the imperial decree, Liang Jiugong walked out of the Rijing Gate with the guard of honor under the bow of all the servants, and went straight to the outside of the palace.Afterwards, the clan ministers of the last dynasty also walked out of the Qianqing Palace one after another.

Marquis Su Wei was standing by the gatepost, watching the courtiers coming out either talking in whispers, frowning, or walking hurriedly, with a solemn look and a sense of bleakness, which made Su Wei smell a bloody smell in the cool air.

The fourth elder brother came out, and Su Wei hurried forward.The fourth elder brother glanced at him sideways, and said in a low voice, "It's so cold, why don't you find a hand stove to hold it?"

"I'm not cold," Su Wei rubbed his cuffs, and leaned closer to the fourth elder brother, "I just saw that Eunuch Liang issued an order. You have been in court for so long, what is the emperor's order?"

The fourth elder brother raised his head and sighed slowly, "Shen Tiansheng, Yi Ersai and others took over the case of Hutan Heshuo, and the case of asking for more silver. Accepting 3000 taels of bribes, all confessions are confirmed. Huang Ama decreed that according to the law, he will be hanged in prison and executed after autumn!"

Su Wei's heart skipped a beat, and following the eyes of the fourth elder brother, he saw that not far away, the eaves of Yuqing Palace stood alone in a red wall.

In the carriage driving to the long street, the eighth elder brother listened to Rong An's story, and his expression was indifferent.

"Forget it, that Su Peisheng wasn't a simple character in the first place, and I didn't really expect you to find out anything."

"They're all stupid slaves," Rong An lowered his head. He originally wanted to provoke Su Peisheng to see how many of his clan members were willing to lean towards Prince Yong.But I didn't want to, and I was choked back with a word.Those minions who watched the excitement didn't have a chance to express their position at all.

Another carriage circled Eight Prince's frame and headed in the same direction.The eighth elder brother opened the window and looked at the frame of the princes, the hands clasped on the window lattice were gradually exposed.

Yuqing Palace

Li Jiashi dismissed the eunuch who delivered the decree, and entered the prince's bedroom with a medicine bowl.

Yinfeng was leaning against the head of the bed, staring at the auspicious cloud pattern on the ceiling in a daze, his thin face looked even paler under the shadow of the gauze curtain.

"Your Highness, drink the medicine." Li Jiashi sat down by the bed and fed the medicine spoon to the prince's mouth.

Yinreng smiled warmly, reached out to take the medicine bowl and said, "My lord is not so sick, I can take the medicine by myself."

Li Jia also frowned, handed the medicine spoon to the crown prince, and watched the crown prince slowly drink up the bowl of medicine, "If you feel better in the afternoon, please guide Hong Xi with your homework. That child is in a mess. The question has annoyed Master to the core."

"It's a good thing to know how to ask questions," Yinreng handed back the medicine bowl to Li Jiashi, "let him and Hongjin come over, and it will be a day if I can spend more time with them."

"Your Highness—" Li Jiashi pursed her lips tightly, "Don't keep thinking wildly."

Yinfeng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and patted Li Jiashi's hand, "Don't worry, Master has already prepared..."

Noon, East Courtyard

The fourth elder brother listened to Su Wei's talk about his conflict with Rong An while having a meal.

"I'm just wondering, that Rong An is also the eighth elder brother's personal eunuch, why is he so impulsive?" Su Wei took a bite of the steamed dumplings stuffed with mutton, and looked at the fourth elder brother with puffed cheeks.

The fourth elder brother curled his mouth, took a last sip of the warm millet porridge, picked up the cloth and wiped his hands, "Of course he is not simply provocative, he probably wants to find out something from you. However, we, University of Su Father-in-law has deep qualifications and high seniority, he just failed to succeed."

"Cut," Su Wei picked up the porridge bowl and drank it upside down, "I'm going to Jishengtang in the afternoon."

"Let Xiaoyingzi go with you," Si elder brother turned around and sat down on the soft couch.

Su Wei put down the bowl, squinted his eyes, "Xiao Yingzi has become your eyeliner now, a traitor who deceives his master and betrays his ancestors, I want to go by myself!"

"No!"

Su Wei stared, stood up angrily and walked to the fourth elder brother, stretched out his claws to block the fourth elder brother's sight, "You pay me money!"

"What money?" The fourth elder brother raised his head with an innocent look on his face.

"That pearl is from our Jishengtang!" Su Dacaidong gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, "There is only one pearl in total, and someone offered 1000 taels! If it wasn't for your lack of consideration, how could I use it?" That much blood? I don't care, you pay!"

The fourth elder brother looked at Su Wei and chuckled, "You look exactly like Ilha. Did you teach the master's daughter to be more and more squeamish?"

"Don't change the subject," Su Wei said relentlessly, "Hurry up and pay for it! Or I'll go to Yuanmingyuan to dig stones and sell them!"

"Didn't Mo Yaqi thank you on behalf of the Lord? What else is there to pay for?" The fourth elder brother lowered his head and opened the book again, "Besides, that pearl exchanged your personal freedom for half a month. Otherwise , someone should shut up in the mansion and contemplate his mistakes now."

"Didn't he just drink?" Su Wei leaned his ass next to the fourth elder brother, "It seems that you have never been drunk. You are so stingy, but I spent 1000 taels all at once—"

"Has that Wang Xiangqing left?" Fourth elder brother interrupted Eunuch Su's chatter.

Su Wei blinked blankly, "No, I still want to keep Brother Wang in the capital."

The fourth elder brother raised his head slowly, and leaned into Su Wei's ear with a cold expression, "Take Xiaoyingzi and Kukui to go out together, and you must come back before dinner. If you get drunk outside with some people, you will die for the rest of your life." You don't even need to go out!"

The gate of the East Courtyard was kicked twice deliberately to vent their anger. Xiaoyingzi and Kukui looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

When Su Wei walked out of the East Garden in a hurry, Zhang Baozheng led Zhang Tingyu and the two adults who were unfamiliar with him to come quickly.

"Master Zhang!"

"Eunuch Su!"

After the two parties met the ceremony, Su Wei moved to the side of the road, watched a group of people passing by in a hurry, and let out a breath slowly.

"Master," Xiaoyingzi carefully approached Su Wei, "Many people have come to visit our house these days."

Su Wei pursed his lips, slowed down and walked out, "Time changes, and it's time..."

February fifteenth,

In order to go to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate Zhang Penghe, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, etc., the report stated that Zhang Boxing should be dismissed in the case of mutual involvement between Gali and Zhang Boxing, and Gali should be demoted to a lower level to stay in office.

However, these results made Lord Kangxi very dissatisfied. Firstly, Gali had close contacts with Qi Shiwu and others, and he was quite a member of the princely sect; He will make Jiangnan students complain even more.

Therefore, Lord Kangxi rejected the memorial of Zhang Penghe and others in the early court, and ordered Jiuqing to watch the meeting in detail and write the memorial.Subsequently, the case and the case of accepting bribes in the Jiangnan Examination Center were handed over to Mu Helun, Minister of the Ministry of Households, and Zhang Tingshu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, for retrial.

At the end of February, Qi Shiwu was involved in the Gansu Huo consumption silver deficit case.Zhao Shenqiao, the censor of Juzuo Capital, and Ga Mintu, the servant of the household department, inspected that Qi Shiwu was in the governor of Gansu Province, and the chief envoy Jueluo Wushi spent more than [-] taels of silver.At the same time, many officials in Gansu were implicated and were dismissed according to the law.This time, the prince's control over the Northwest military power was completely pulled out.

In March, Lord Kangxi moved the Empress Dowager into Changchun Garden, and the crown prince also moved into Wuyizhai from Yuqing Palace.

Due to the continuous turmoil in Nanshan Ji and the Jiangnan Examination Center, many literati and students who have the heart of restoring the Han people to the world have begun to move around again.

As soon as Lord Kangxi linked several memorials, he was very troubled by the inexhaustible anti-Qing trend.And the last letter was actually a joint performance by several academic officials, asking the Holy Father to allow the prince to go south and preside over the re-opening of Enke to calm the anger of the students.

The tea bowl on the table was swept away, Liang Jiugong hurriedly knelt down, Master Kangxi leaned on the back of the chair and took a deep breath, stood up slowly and said, "Wu Yi Zhai!"

At the same time, the fourth elder brother brought Su Wei to live in Yuanmingyuan.

As night fell, the two climbed onto the roof and looked at the sky full of stars.

"The first time I watched the stars with you, I was spanked and blossomed." Su Wei leaned on his hat and stared at the night sky without blinking. Be a well-behaved eunuch."

The fourth elder brother laughed lightly when he heard the words, turned his body and pinched Su Wei's face, "If the Queen's mother is alive in heaven, I'm afraid I will blame myself for beating me lightly at that time."

Su Wei pursed his lips, stretched out his hand and gestured twice among the stars, "These stars seem to be close, but they are actually far away."

The fourth elder brother raised his arm and grabbed Su Wei's hand, a shooting star flashed across the two palms, "It's not far away, it's getting close..."

A thin figure was kneeling at the feet of the Ninth Five Lord as the meteor streaked across the window lattice.

Lord Kangxi threw the memorial in front of Yinreng, his questioning voice trembling, "This, this is your idea? Do you still have the Qing Dynasty in your heart?"

Yinreng prostrated himself on the floor tiles without saying a word.

"Okay, okay," Lord Kangxi waved Liang Jiugong's hand away, and turned around twice, "Do you think that I will really be afraid of those people who make trouble? Do you think that, except you, no one can calm Jiangnan? chaos?"

Yinfeng stood up slowly, his eyes were not bright, "I am guilty of a crime, and I can't bear such a heavy responsibility, let alone expect it. Now that the matter is up to now, I will let the emperor dispose of me."

Lord Kangxi frowned, fixedly staring at Yinreng's calm face, and after a while, suddenly said, "You are here, hate me?"

Yinreng raised his head, with a slight smile on his lips, "Thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king, and my son never dares to express hatred..."

On the seventh day of March, morning

The emperor’s imperial pen Zhu Shu wrote to the kings, Baylor, Beizi, ministers, etc., "Because Yinfeng behaved surlyly, he was once imprisoned. Then I bowed to my illness, thought of the kindness of my father and son, and forgiven me. In front of everyone, I once said that he seemed to be able to Changed. Yi also insisted on the oath in front of the empress dowager, concubines, kings, and ministers. I thought that Yi should change his past mistakes and be vigilant day and night. Since the day he was released, his surly heart has been revealed. For several years , the disease of madness is still not cured, it is impossible to distinguish right from wrong, and it is a big disappointment. I have endured it for a long time, and I will not reveal it, because it is expected to change. However, looking at his behavior today, that is, the daily lessons, will definitely not be able to change I am more than fifty years old this year, so I know how many days there will be in the future. Kuang Tianxia is an industry created by Taizu, Taizong, and Shizu. It has been handed down to me, and it has been preserved for more than fifty years. I can’t go into details about what to do. How can such a man who is so mad and easy to become sick and unpopular can be entrusted to him? Therefore, the prince Yinfeng is now deposed and imprisoned.
