Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 48 years,

September [-]th, outside Changchun Garden

The Fourteenth Master got into Xiao Yongzao's carriage, and the young man checked that there was no one around, and parked the carriage on a remote path.

"This is a reply letter from General Xi Zhu of Xi'an," Xiao Yongzao took out the letter paper from his sleeve and handed it to Elder Fourteen. Who is willing to give half of the credit to others for a general who has been used to domineering at the border for a few years?"

"Funing'an is not a simple character." Yinti folded the letter paper and threw it into the burning incense burner. "There was a group of voices in the court to persuade peace, but he was the only one who dared to openly call for war. From the guard Li Guan All the way to become Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Huang Ama's appreciation for him is rare in the whole court."

Xiao Yongzao nodded slightly, then said again, "Funing'an is valued by the emperor, and it is also a great opportunity for us. The Fourteenth Master wants to gain the military power at the frontier. This is the best time. People like Xi Zhu have not yet Involved in the dispute between the princes, there is also an urgent need to deal with power in Beijing. This minister has a little friendship with him, and with only a few exchanges, he will definitely be able to win this general for the Fourteenth Lord."

"That's very good," Elder Fourteen raised the corners of his mouth, cupped his hands at Xiao Yongzao and said, "Yinti will rely on Brother Caizhi this time."

Outside the Hall of Nine Classics and Three Events

When Yinzhen walked down the steps, he saw the back of the fourth elder brother who was going away, but he didn't pay attention to the others, but the eunuch who followed behind the fourth elder brother made him frown.

"Master, shall we go back to the garden directly, or sit at Master Shi's place?" He Yuzhu stepped forward and asked cautiously.

Yinzhen pointed to the group of people who had gone far away, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter? Didn't the fourth brother recruit that Su Peisheng back?"

"Cough, who knows." He Yuzhu bowed his waist and shook the whisk in his hand, "this Wan Xiang came with him this morning, and he still looks like he is smiling when he sees people. Someone asked him where he went a few days ago , and even said that he was sick, that Eunuch Zhang who came with him just snorted coldly. The slave looked at it, the Prince Yong’s mansion is a mess."

Yinzhen frowned slightly, but after a while, a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, "You are all eunuchs, and you spend a lot of time with that Su Peisheng in your free time. Anyway, you are not a big or small person, and after being by the fourth brother's side for so many years, Now that I am reduced to competing for the limelight with a brat, I must be feeling a lot of sulking in my heart."

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes, and immediately understood the meaning of Brother Nine's words, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "No, the first few times I saw that Eunuch Su came, I didn't take Wan Xiang seriously. But Ren Cheng loves top-notch playful and offended Su Peisheng, this servant should find a time to apologize on his behalf."

Old Summer Palace, Langyin Pavilion

Nianshi was ill, and after Yeqi developed a high fever, he fell into a coma for a while.Pian Dingqi was serving in Beijing these days, Ling Xi and the girls had no choice but to ask Fujin early in the morning, and invited the doctor who was near Zhuangzi to come.

When the fourth elder brother came back from court, Nianshi was still burning faintly.The fourth elder brother got Xin'er, sent someone to invite the imperial physician, and at the same time visited Langyin Pavilion in person.

Ling Xi waited by Nian's bed, and wiped away tears when she saw the fourth elder brother, "The prince is here, and the young master has been calling you in a daze. We can't feed the medicine, and we can't feed the water. Please The doctors who came here are helpless, please hurry up and see the young master, the servants are really afraid, I am really afraid that the young master—”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Qilin, who followed, lowered his voice and reprimanded Ling Xi, "Isn't it just a cold? Sifu Jinfu has a big fate, and you will get through it safely. You girls just take good care of you. , and those who cry and wipe their tears when they see people are not afraid of taboos!"

Ling Xi pursed her lips and didn't dare to speak any more, the fourth elder brother went to the bed and sat down, seeing that Nian's cheeks were flushed and his temples were covered with fine sweat.

Cai Xi came in with the newly brewed medicine, and said to Ling Xi with a troubled face, "The doctor said, this medicine must be fed in before noon, but what should we do?"

"If you can't feed it, you have to feed it," Ling Xi wiped away tears, picked up the medicine bowl, and Cai Xi helped Nianshi up.

The medicinal soup was so bitter that ordinary people would frown upon smelling it.Nianshi's lips became dry from the burn, and his stomach churned even more. As soon as the sticky concoction entered his mouth, he retched.

"My lord—"

"Let me come here," Ling Xi was about to cry again, but the prince spoke.

The fourth elder brother took the medicine bowl, got up and sat on the bedside, supported Nian Shi in his arms, spooned the medicine juice into Nian Shi's mouth with one hand, "Mu Yun, drink the medicine."

Nian Shi was in a daze, as if he heard the voice that he was thinking about, tried his best to open his eyes, and actually saw the face of the fourth elder brother.

"My lord?" Nian called out in a hoarse voice, feeling like he was dreaming, "My lord, is it really you?"

"Mu Yun, you're sick," Si elder brother looked normal, but his tone was soft, "Be good, take your medicine."

Nian stared blankly at the fourth elder brother for a long time, and finally felt the slightest warmth in his body that was sometimes cold and sometimes hot, "Yes, yes, this concubine will take medicine..."

Seeing that Nian really lowered his head and swallowed the medicine juice in the spoon, Ling Xi and Cai Xi clasped their hands together happily and continued to chant Buddha's blessing.

The fourth elder brother finished feeding a bowl of medicine, and Nian Shi had already fallen asleep in a drowsy state.

Ling Xi tucked up the quilt for Nianshi, and walked carefully to the fourth elder brother, "I dare you, can you ask the prince to stay one more night. Our little master's illness has been fluctuating, and the servant is worried. It's going to get worse..."

Zhang Qilin glanced at Ling Xi with some strangeness, then turned to look at the fourth elder brother.

The latter didn't seem to have any objections, and directly ordered Zhang Qilin, "Go to Qingyan Pavilion and get the book you want to read."

"Yes," Zhang Qilin leaned over, hiding the surprise on his face, and when he turned and walked out, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Qingyan Pavilion

Su Wei was checking the roster of new slaves with Xiao Yingzi, when he saw Zhang Qilin lingering in from a distance, he already had some guesses in his heart.

Zhang Qilin moved into the door slowly, looked at Grandpa Su who didn't raise his head for a moment, then suppressed his voice and said, "That, the prince said, is the book he wants to read these days."

Xiaoyingzi's hand flipping through the booklet suddenly stopped, but Su Wei shook his neck calmly, stood up while supporting the table, "I'll get it."

Xiaoyingzi and Zhang Qilin were left in the side hall, and the two of them were silent for a moment, looking away from each other.

Su Wei went into the fourth elder brother's study alone. There were several stacks of border military folders on the desk, and there were only two books on the bottom.

The study room in Qingyang Pavilion is relatively open, with swaying willow branches outside the delicately carved windows, the afternoon sun shines into the room through the gaps in the branches, leaving a little shadow on the long desk.

Su Wei lowered his head, pressed the pile of military newspapers with one hand, and slowly pulled out the book. The expression on his face cast a shadow for some reason. After a while, a low sigh sounded in the empty room.

In the middle of the pile of military folds, there is still a letter of greetings just sent from Sichuan, greeting the prince, the princess, and the side Fujin...

Zhang Qilin took the book back to Langyin Pavilion, and Su Wei sat in the side hall again.Xiaoyingzi, who had been holding the roster all the time, was like swallowing a piece of rice cake that was still warm, unable to spit it out or swallow it.

Su Wei flipped through the notebook in his hand, but he was obviously out of shape. The atmosphere in the room was weird for a while, Su Wei suddenly said, "Xiao Yingzi, do you think Master is really old?"

"No!" Xiaoyingzi objected almost subconsciously, her voice was two points louder than usual, "Master is still as young as before, no, younger and more energetic than before!"

Su Wei turned his head and glanced at Xiaoyingzi, his face full of helplessness, "What are you thinking about in your head? I'm not talking about looks, but heart!"

Li Ying looked bewildered, Su Wei sighed, raised his hand to pick up a pen, and while writing on the booklet, he muttered, "When he was young, he was always full of ambition and fearless. But when he gets older, he will inevitably be timid. Thinking east and west. When I was young, I could make great ambitions, but when I matured, I was full of fear. Sometimes I am really afraid that I will be sad until September 81, [-]. It is not Tang Seng himself who gets the scriptures."

That night, the candles in Langyin Pavilion were not extinguished.

Sure enough, Nian's condition relapsed twice at midnight. Fortunately, the imperial physician serving in Changchun Garden was there and stabilized his condition in time.

The fourth elder brother fed Nianshi another bowl of medicine at night, and after Nianshi fell asleep, he brought his own books and rested on the couch outside.

It wasn't until dawn that the heat on Nian's body finally subsided.

On September 23, good news came from the border.

"Cewang Allah Butan came with 90 soldiers, but Hami's son E Min and guerrilla Pan Zhishan led [-] Yuan Banner soldiers and defeated them. They killed [-] people and captured three of them alive!"

Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed, so he ordered Hutu Ketu to dispatch people to Cewang Allah Butan, and issued an imperial edict, "The most holy emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Dapei Renen, wants the world to share peace. You sent troops for no reason and were stationed in Hami The two hundred Yuan Banner soldiers have been completely defeated, now that they have been defeated, how will they survive? Why don't you send an envoy to the emperor and kneel down and beg for your sins, if you don't plead so, you will be punished by the heavens, and all living beings will suffer as well!"

After this battle, the court was encouraged from top to bottom.

After discussing with the courtiers, Lord Kangxi decided to prepare three groups of soldiers and horses, from Gaslu and Hami Turpan.Khalkha encircled and suppressed Junggar in three directions.

However, considering the long distance and the difficulty of transportation, during the trip, it is necessary to take a camera at any time, and reservations are not allowed, so it is necessary to carefully consider the hesitation and plan carefully.

Cheng En Garden

Since the Battle of Hami, there has been a constant flow of messengers delivering letters in and out of the capital, and of course Baye's Mansion is indispensable among them.

Alsunga and Nalan Kui gathered together in Ba Prince's study room, and the person who wrote the letter was Chuo Qi, the governor of Gansu who had been in contact with Ba Prince earlier.

"Funing'an is really not to be underestimated," Arsunga handed the letter he had read to Nalan Kuixu, "He has only been at the border for a few days, and according to Chuoqi, all arrangements for the barracks have been made. It's pretty good."

"It's just the beginning now," Nalan Kuixu said, his eyes still on the letter paper, "there are only a small number of soldiers gathered in Hami now. If it is true as Long Live God said, there will be at least 4 to [-] soldiers to gather three groups of soldiers and horses." people."

The eighth elder brother tapped on the situation map of the border, and then said, "At that time, not only Funing'an, Huang Ama may also make Fei Yanggu move. These two people are hard to chew on. Bones, Huang Ama handed over the military power to the hands of these two people, so she probably took some precautions."

"Don't worry about this, Lord Belle," Arsona leaned back in his chair, "Feiyangu has led troops for many years, and we may not be able to chew on it. But Funing'an is a single tree. If there is no emperor's Support, he can’t stand at the border. As long as we hold the local forces in Gansu, Sichuan and Shaanxi, it is equivalent to holding the lifeline of the military power. Without horses and food, who will fight for him?”

"That's right," Nalan Kuishu threw the letter paper into the brazier, and continued, "This war with Junggar is a great opportunity for Baylor to expand his power. With Funing'an as a target, not only A governor of Gansu, that is, Shi Yide, governor of Gansu, and Ehai, governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, we can win them all."
