Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 50 years

April 26, East Courtyard

In the early morning, Zhang Qilin held a water basin and gently pushed open the door in the main hall.

There was some movement in the bedroom, Zhang Qilin knew that the prince should wake up at this time.

In the bedroom, under the lowered soft red curtain, one person was lying on his stomach moaning, while the other gently rubbed his waist.

"Grandpa is going to the court meeting, you can sleep a little longer, and don't go around today."

"Don't forget to promise me!" The lying person was very firm, seeing that he was about to get out of bed, he quickly grabbed him.

"I remember, isn't it just a pen holder?" The fourth elder brother held Su Wei's hand and kissed him, "I will give you whatever you want."

"Don't say such disgusting things!"

Grandpa Su withdrew his hand, "Like an old rascal who only cheats little girls!"

The fourth elder brother laughed, put on his boots refreshedly, and got out of bed. No matter what people said about him now, he couldn't get angry.

Early Dynasty, Qianqing Palace

Dutong Fala and his deputy Yue Zhongqi defeated the rebels near Batang and Litang in one fell swoop, and the governor Nian Gengyao sent people to appease the local people.

Lord Kangxi was very happy to receive the military report.

Nian Gengyao played at the same time, saying that the military situation in Tibet was unpredictable, the situation in Qinghai was complicated, and Sichuan was in a critical position, so he requested to make preparations for a joint war in Tibet.

With the approval of Lord Kangxi, this decree means that not only soldiers and horses from Qinghai will enter Tibet.

Although the soldiers and horses in Sichuan are also under the command of the general, but the two sides are far apart, and the orders of the generals outside the country will not be accepted. It is bound to be difficult for the generals stationed in Xining to control the soldiers and horses in Sichuan.

This also means that the power of the general who originally set off with the king's banner will definitely be lowered.

face down, on the carriage

Longko got more news about the border, and secretly came to discuss with the fourth elder brother.

"Nian Gengyao's move is really powerful. It not only reconciles the mind of the Long Live Lord, but also divides the power of the general."

"It's not going well for Yinti to lead troops in Qinghai, and Luo Buzang Danjin's group has already set their sights on Tibet," said the fourth elder brother leaning on the cushion on the car wall.

"Huang Ama intends to send troops in two directions, and she is also worried about any accidents in Qinghai."

"Before Cering Dunduobu was expelled, Luo Bu Zang Danjin should not have the guts. After all, Junggar has not been eyeing Qinghai for a day or two." Longkoduo also has a lot of control over the situation at the border.

"Now, the most important thing is how to help Nian Gengyao. If the Sichuan army invades Lhasa first and captures Tsering Dunduobu, then the general will be full of thunder and rain this time. Rao Even if Tibet is leveled, he won’t be able to share much of the credit.”

"The battle situation at the border is changing day by day, and winning is the most important thing," said the fourth elder brother, who did not quite agree with Longkodo's statement. suppress."

"My lord, the war in Tibet is what Long Live Lord is most concerned about right now. You have such good moves as Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi at the border, so you can't waste them in vain."

"This king knows this well..."

The fourth elder brother lowered his head, picked up the tea bowl on the small table, and slowly scraped off the tea foam.

When the carriage arrived at the House of Internal Affairs, Prince Yong got out of the carriage, and the head of the House of Internal Affairs came to pick him up.

At this time, Dong Dianbang, the second-class Adahaha fan, was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Dong Dianbang's family was born in Zhenghuangqi Baoyi. He himself is a hard-working official and won the second-class title of Adahafan. Now he is in charge of the House of Internal Affairs with Haizhang.

"My humble minister Dong Dianbang pays his respects to the lord." Dong Dianbang was a big fat man, and it took some effort to bow and salute, but he still did it very standard.

"Excuse me, my lord." Prince Yong walked into the House of Internal Affairs with his hands behind his back, "I am here today because I want to ask my lord to find something."

"My lord, you are too polite. If you want anything, just send someone to tell you." Dong Dianbang followed behind.

"I'm coming down from the court meeting today, just passing by," Prince Yong walked into the lobby of the House of Internal Affairs, and asked Zhang Qilin who was accompanying him to take out a small bag of broken porcelain.

"This is..." Dong Dianbang took the tile and carefully identified it for a while.

"It's an enamel brush holder with a green glaze base, with peony dragon and phoenix patterns," Zhang Qilin said.

Dong Dianbang smiled embarrassingly, "I have poor eyesight, so I can't remember if there is any more in the library. In this way, I will ask Yuanwailang from the Guangchu Department to identify it carefully. If there is one, I will bring it to the prince immediately."

"It's better to have it." Prince Yong raised his head, but his expression was not as casual as when he first came in. "It's not easy to fail what the king promised."

Dong Dianbang was a little sluggish, "Yes, yes, I will let someone find you!"

"Your Excellency, please pay more attention. Since it has dragon and phoenix patterns, there should be two," Zhang Qilin pointed out.

"That's right, please don't worry, my lord, the porcelain is in the care of Guangchu Secretary Wailang, I will call him here."

Prince Yong nodded slightly, and Dong Dianbang hurriedly sent someone to invite Yuanwailang.

After a while, a middle-aged man who seemed to be nearly forty came in with the servant. This man was fairly handsome, with a very upright demeanor, but his brows were a little dark.

"Wailang Ertai, a member of the Guangchu Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Weichen, has met Prince Yong."

"Well," the fourth elder brother nodded slightly, avoiding Ertai's gift.

Dong Dianbang hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed the broken porcelain pieces into Ertai's hands, "Hurry up and see if there is another pen holder with the same decoration in Curry? If there is, quickly bring it to the prince!"

Ertai frowned slightly, looked up at Prince Yong, and then looked down at the pile of broken porcelain.

"This is a gold-painted enamel and colored celadon porcelain pen holder brought in from the official kiln during the New Year's Eve. It is indeed a pair of bottles, and one of them was sent to the Qianqing Palace last month."

"Hey, what about the other one?" Dong Dianbang was well-versed in the way of being an official, and he never asked questions that he knew shouldn't be asked.

"The other one is in the warehouse," Ertai replied.

"That's good, that's good," Dong Dianbang laughed, "Hurry up and get it for the prince, don't make the prince wait too long."

Ertai stood still, and picked the broken porcelain in his hand again, "My lord wants another one, do you have an order from the palace?"

Everyone in the room froze, and Prince Yong, who had been silent all this time, raised his head.

Ertai took a step back, completely ignoring Dong Dianbang's frequently flickering eyes, and bowed to Prince Yong, "My lord, I was ordered to take care of the Guangchu Si porcelain warehouse. There is no corresponding charter. Please forgive me for not being able to do anything for you Withdraw."

"You're crazy!" Dong Dianbang finally couldn't help it, gritted his teeth and hummed at Ertai.

Ertai still acted as if he hadn't seen anything. After replying to this sentence, he just stood in place, as if he was letting go.

At this time, the fourth elder brother really appreciates this person's demeanor. He is an upright official, does his duty impartially, and is not afraid of power. After seeing a lot of locusts and mice in Beijing, this is really very valuable.

However, he had to take the pen holder back today!

"Master E is a man of integrity, rare, rare..."

Prince Yong smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, my lord, I took this pen holder today, and I will ask someone to make up the note tomorrow, so I won't embarrass the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Where is this? How can you bother the prince with this kind of thing?" Dong Dianbang smiled at Ertai while winking.

"It's not in compliance with the rules," Ertai still ignored Dong Dianbang, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has been filled with notes from the left family and the right family to form a fishing net that leaks everywhere. The prince just checked the Jingtong granary, didn't he think about it?" Is the situation in the Ministry of Internal Affairs similar now?"

"Ertai!"

Dong Dianbang lost his temper, "You don't want to be a Yuanwailang anymore, do you? How dare you talk nonsense in front of the prince!"

"Whether I'm talking nonsense, the prince will find out if he checks!"

Ertai's words were upright, but when he looked at the fourth elder brother, his eyes were a little more disappointed, "However, according to Weichen today, the prince will not come to investigate."

Zhang Qilin, who was always by the side, didn't dare to speak from the beginning to the end. He stared at this courageous Yuanwailang with dumbfounded eyes, and pointed the spearhead of his words at his prince.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs is directly under the Seven Divisions and Three Courts, which are in charge of royal affairs. The Guang Chu Division leads the six warehouses of silver, leather, porcelain, satin, clothes, and tea. The annual income is more than ten thousand taels? In exchange, this hole in the book is getting bigger and bigger every day. The prince has just been ordered to check the Jingtong granary, and he knows that the regulations are chaotic and how much loss will be caused by poor management? As a prince, you should be a hundred How can an official set an example and say how to make up a note?"

"Ertai! You are so courageous!" Zhang Qilin was almost frightened.

Dong Dianbang waved at the guard at the door, intending to take away the "crazy" Yuanwailang first.

"Let him go!"

It was the first time for Prince Yong to be reprimanded by an unknown subject pointing his nose at his nose. At this time, except for the red ears, he did not have much emotional fluctuations, "You are right, this king is negligent. The King will report the matter to the Holy Majesty to investigate and deal with it."

"My lord?" Dong Dianbang died unjustly. It's just a pen holder. If I had known that he would go directly to Curry to find it.

"You are very courageous." Prince Yong also ignored Dong Dianbang, but walked up to Ertai, "The imperial relatives used notes to collect funds from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is the old calendar from the time of the first emperor, and Huang Ama seldom paid attention to it." , you were the first one who dared to tell him."

"If the regulations are formulated but cannot be followed, then what is the need for such a huge Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Ertai said very straightforwardly.

Prince Yong nodded, "I admire you very much, if you have time, come to my mansion for a walk."

Dong Dianbang, who was on the sidelines, immediately widened his eyes.

Ertai glanced at Prince Yong, but bowed his head and cupped his hands again, "Thank you for your appreciation, please forgive me for not obeying my orders. Prince Yi Yude Chunhua, don't make friends with foreign ministers!"

…………

The lobby of the House of Internal Affairs fell into a strange silence again, and after a while, Prince Yong walked out in three steps at a time.

Zhang Qilin, who had seen Prince Yong's expression clearly, hurriedly followed, and before leaving the door, he gave Ertai two hands, "My lord, you are really capable! Our family admires, admires!"

The fourth elder brother got into the carriage without looking back, and Zhang Qilin followed outside, thinking about it, and still gritted his teeth and asked a question.

"Master, that pen holder?"

Prince Yong in the car leaned back on the cushion, took a deep breath, "Go to Liulichang!"
