Kangxi 49 years

November [-]th, Qianqing Palace

In late autumn, everything is bleak.

Lord Kangxi stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of decay.

"The news from the border should be here soon..."

"Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. Lord Long Live should think more about it than the old officials," Li Guangdi, a senior scholar, served by his side. "Didn't Lord Long Live do the same when he went to Galdan in the north?"

"People are getting old..."

Lord Kangxi sighed, then smiled self-deprecatingly, "Now I don't have the energy and ability to lead the troops myself."

"The emperor is the emperor of a country, and fighting on the battlefield should be the job of generals."

"But these generals are all very successful and competitive." Kangxi turned around, his expression had turned cold, "Elunte and Selen were supposed to encircle Ceringdunduobu. But along the way, the two of them exchanged They did not give in to each other, and acted in their own way. Selen went deep alone, without even setting up a military station along the way, regardless of the head and the tail, and credulously trusted others."

"In the past few years, the imperial court has been stable, and there have been few major battles on the border. The generals are somewhat slack. Celing Dunduobu trekked into Tibet, and no one expected that he would really gain a foothold. Selen and Erlunt only I'm afraid I didn't take this group of enemies seriously, and I also misjudged the complexity of Tibet."

"I think they overestimated their abilities," Lord Kangxi snorted heavily, "I sent them to guard the border to protect their families and the country, not to fight for fame and fortune."

"Since ancient times, the orders of generals outside the country have been unacceptable. If Long Live God wants to send troops into Tibet again this time, he must send a commander who can restrain these old fritters."

"Commander..."

Lord Kangxi muttered something, and did not hide it from Li Guangdi, "I have thought about it too. This time, it is different from the time when I planned to invade Hami by Allah Butan. The imperial court has already suffered a defeat, and Tibet has fallen into the enemy's hands. I can no longer just assign A minister has gone to peace affairs. No matter how many local emperors are raised in the Sichuan-Shaanxi border, I will have someone break this hard bone!"

"Then, Lord Long Live must have someone he wants," Li Guangdi probably guessed in his heart, but he didn't say it clearly.

"Qi Zou the emperor," Liang Jiugong walked into the inner hall at the right time, "Abran, the minister of the state, has urgent matters to see His Majesty."

"Abran?" Lord Kangxi and Li Guangdi looked at each other.

Li Guangdi thought for a while and said, "Isn't Abran on duty to guard Xian'an Palace recently?"

Yonghe Palace

The fourteenth elder brother and concubine De sat in the inner hall, holding tea bowls in their hands, but they didn't take a sip for a long time.

Concubine De knew her son best, let him be in a daze for a while, and finally remembered to drink tea before she said, "Qingju, but give Yinti a new cup of tea."

"Yes," Qing Ju smiled, and took the tea bowl from Elder Fourteen, "Elder Brother sit down first, servants will come as soon as they go."

Qingju left the house, only mother and son were left in the hall.

"Let's talk, you're not here to be dazed when you come to Erniang today?"

"You can't hide anything from Er Niang," Elder Fourteen smiled complicatedly, "Does Fourth Brother often come to greet Er Niang these days?"

"I always come here on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and the house often sends things over. Er Niang doesn't expect anything else, as long as she has this heart."

"Nowadays, the fourth brother is very popular in front of Huang Ama," the fourteenth brother pursed his lips, "The courtiers also respect him..."

"Er Niang knows," Concubine De leaned on the soft couch with a calm expression, "but Er Niang cares more about what you think."

"You grew up beside Er Niang since childhood, which is the only comfort left by Er Niang in these years. Er Niang has lost many children. Your fourth brother was carried to Chengqian Palace as soon as he was born, and your sixth brother died early. Xian grew up beside the Queen Mother since he was a child, and now he has passed away..."

"Emiang, it is my son who is not good, which made Emiang sad."

The fourteenth elder brother lowered his head, "But my son is not reconciled, and my son is no worse than others. Everyone is arguing. Do I have to stay away from him just because he is my real elder brother?"

"Relatives turn against each other, brothers fight against each other, this is the cruelest thing for all mothers in the world!"

Concubine De's lips trembled slightly, her face became paler, "But, I also know that Er Niang can't persuade you, let alone your fourth brother."

"Emiang," Elder Fourteen sat forward, trying to get closer to Concubine De, "Son won't ask you to do anything. My son just wants you not to get involved in the fight between me and Fourth Brother. Anyway , no matter who wins, me or the fourth brother, you are the empress dowager."

"Empress Dowager?" Concubine De smiled, her smile was full of bitterness, "When Empress Dowager Xiaohui was seriously ill, Er Niang served with other concubines together. Long live God is so virtuous and filial, he treats his aunt better than his own mother. But, filial piety In the past few years, the Queen Mother Huixian has never been really happy. When she was young, she still missed some power. But later, she was old and her hair was gray. In addition to the blue lamp and ancient Buddha, there was nothing else to do every day. .The life is like a stagnant water. Which of the concubines and children in this palace is really related to her? No matter how high and high? Such a life is not as good as a dead person. "

"Er Niang..." Elder Fourteen couldn't bear to speak, "I'm afraid you will be hurt."

"You underestimated Er Niang." Concubine De wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes, and her face returned to calm. "E Niang has lived in the palace for most of her life. What kind of pain has she never experienced? What kind of pain has she never endured? Here In this dead city, if you want to live a life of grandeur, you must learn to fight and learn to let go."

There was a sudden commotion outside, and Qingju walked in quickly, "Your Majesty, Brother Fourteen, something seems to have happened in Xian'an Palace."

Xian'an Palace

"You go to the apse! You go to the warehouse!"

"Quick! Move faster!"

"Read carefully, every book and every piece of paper must not be let go!"

In the main hall, the second elder brother sat in the wooden chair in the middle, with no sadness or joy on his face, his eyes were coldly looking out of the door, ignoring everything around him.

Li Jiashi stood beside the second elder brother, the little girl in front of her was protecting her, she refused to hide in the room, she was worried that the second elder brother was here alone.

The guards who broke in suddenly said that they had obeyed the emperor's order, and the second elder brother had evil intentions, colluded with foreign ministers secretly, and began to search Xian'an Palace wantonly, searching for so-called evidence.

"It's such a joke," Li Jia said, almost gritted his teeth, "The Xian'an Palace is sealed so that even a fly can't fly in. They just want to commit a crime, so there's nothing wrong with it!"

There was a sound of ping-pong-pong in the second elder brother's study, and Li Jiashi bit her lips, watching the thick-handed guards take out the second elder brother's collection of books, manuscripts, and picture scrolls in piles, and threw them away. in the yard.

"Painting scroll!" Li Jiashi suddenly thought of something, and at this moment, a guard came out holding a long box.

"You put it down!"

Li Jiashi was about to step forward, but the second elder brother raised his hand and grabbed her.

"Let him go..."

The long box was opened, and the scroll was unfolded casually, and then fell onto the stone bricks where the mud was flying.

Xian'an Palace Backyard

Erfujin Shishi and maid Yuqin hid in the bedroom, watching the guards coming in and out of the warehouse.

"I don't know what's the matter? Let's see Tian'er staying in Xian'an Palace, what can we do?" Shi Shi clutched his chest, a little out of breath.

Yuqin picked up a bowl of medicine from the table and walked behind Shi Shi, "Fu Jin should drink the medicine first."

"What medicine are you still drinking at this time?"

Shi Shi stomped her feet anxiously, "No, I have to go to the front yard to have a look, what if something happens there?"

"It's better not to go to Fujin," Yuqin was still holding the medicine, "I heard that the second elder brother used the imperial doctor who treated Fujin to secretly contact the ministers."

"What did you say?" Shi Shi turned her head, her chest began to heave violently, "Second Lord, no, it's impossible!"

"How is it impossible? This matter is absolutely true!"

"how do you know?"

Shi Shi suddenly realized something, "They just broke in. You have been with me all this time, and you haven't even been to the front yard. Where did you hear that?"

Yuqin didn't speak, but glanced outside, then raised the medicine bowl again, "Fujin, it's time for you to take your medicine..."

Ham'an Palace Front Yard

In the middle of the courtyard, a person was kneeling.

Everyone in Xian'an Palace is very familiar with this person, because he has often come and gone here in the past few months.

"Doctor He," the leader of the guards, Su Buli, held a leather horsewhip in his hand, patted He Mengfu's face, and asked bluntly in front of the second elder brother, "Did you still recruit? Second elder brother How did you arrange for you to pass the letter to Puqi, the Lord of the Town? How many times did you pass it on? What was written in the letter?"

"I don't know, I don't know," He Mengfu seemed to have been frightened, he just shook his head and said, "I'm just a messenger, and the letters are all written in alum, and nothing can be seen on the surface. I In the past few months, I have hidden the letter in my belt, evaded the search, and passed it a few times, and I can’t remember exactly.”

"You bullshit!"

Li Jiashi couldn't bear it anymore, "We just asked you to treat Fujin, where did we get the letter from?!"

"Can not remember?"

Su Buli didn't pay attention to Li Jiashi's question, but straightened up, and directly signaled to the two people around him, "Then let the imperial doctor think about it."

The sharp and ear-piercing wailing sound instantly resounded over the Xian'an Palace, Li Jiashi was so frightened that she closed her eyes, and curled up with the little maid.

The second elder brother was still expressionless, looking at He Mengfu who was being tortured coldly, even though the bloody scene was actually just for him to watch.

"I really don't know anything—"

He Mengfu wailed, "I'm just doing something for my master! When Prince Yong arranged for me to come to Xian'an Palace, I just thought I was treating Fujin—"

The second elder brother's eyes moved, his face was frosty.

In the evening, Prince Yong's Mansion

The fourth elder brother and Xiao Suzi finished their dinner and were taking a walk in the East Garden.

"Eighth brother hasn't moved much these days, and I've almost inquired about it. He must be suffering from hysteria!" Su Wei was a little smug.

"I didn't expect that I would gain unexpected results after tossing around in the suburbs of Beijing. Hysteria is not easy to cure. Even if it is cured now, it may recur if it is stimulated one day."

"Don't provoke him," the fourth elder brother heard Su Wei's overtones at once, "Yinhu is not as thoughtful and cautious as before. If you really provoke him, he may not be able to do it What happened."

"I'm not afraid of him, besides, he was the one who provoked me first!" Grand Duke Su insisted.

The fourth elder brother raised his hand to flick his forehead, but there was a sound of messy footsteps at the garden gate.

Fu Nai walked the fastest, and when he reached the fourth elder brother, he leaned over and said, "My lord, the palace has sent a team of guards to let you enter the palace immediately!"

The author has something to say: My Jinjiang coin was not sent out, I thought it was obvious.

"The slanting moon sinks and hides the sea fog, and the Jieshi Xiaoxiang has an infinite road. I don't know how many people will return by the moon, and the falling moon will shake the trees in the river...Your Highness, Dezhu is leaving. I wish you a happy life..." The person in the middle of the painting is Dezhu Zhu, the poem mentioned is a poem read by De Zhu before his death.

"I don't know anything, and I can't make anything up. You can fight as you like, but don't use my hands and feet. I want to serve His Highness in the future." Xiao Chuzi's surname is Lin, the willow forest in the painting .Later he was rescued by Xiao Suzi, but the prince thought he was dead.

"Your Highness, although the farm is busy during the autumn harvest, the fields are golden and golden, and you will wake up laughing when you dream at night. Your Highness will go to the field when you are in a bad mood. The sky there must not be square. square."

The prince slightly bent his mouth, squinted his eyes and looked at the fat little Chuzi and said, "I remember, little pier."

The fat Shidun and Xiaodunzi in the painting are the fat little Chuzi.

One is the prince's lover, and the other two are people the prince will remember and cherish.

Guess Fourth Master, Eighth Master, Xiao Suzi, and Qi Xier...
