Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 50 years

December, Beijing

The first emperor had a great funeral, and the new emperor ascended the throne. There was turmoil inside and outside the court, and people's hearts were fluctuating.

During Emperor Yongzheng's filial piety, he issued an edict ordering Baylor Yinhu, the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, the scholar Ma Qi, and the infantry to lead the affairs of Prime Minister Longkodo.

At the same time, Yinxuan and Yinxiang were made princes, and Hongxi, the son of Yinreng, was made king of the county.

On the fifth day of December, Tong Guowei passed away, and Longkodo inherited the first-class duke.

The border war was in full swing. Emperor Yongzheng did not issue an order for the general to return to Beijing for the time being, but he promoted Nian Gengyao's elder brother, Nian Xiyao, who was formerly the governor of Anhui, to be the governor of Guangdong.

The eighth day of December, the Forbidden City

Before the funeral was over, the entire imperial palace was extremely quiet except for the mourning sounds that sounded at regular intervals every day.

The imperial dining room is also a rare place where a group of servants can gather and chat a few gossips.

"Hey, how is the master in your palace?"

"What else can I do? I mourn all day long. Once the late emperor leaves, these masters will have to squeeze into the Ningshou Palace to retire in the future. There are so many concubines of the late emperor. How can going to the Ningshou Palace compare to the present?" , Thinking about it, I feel hopeless."

"No, I said we are young, don't follow to the tomb of the living dead, we have to think of a way."

"What are you thinking? The new emperor's ascension to the throne will naturally be the face of the gang of eunuchs in the Qian Mansion. The respect room is being cleaned up in the past two days. I don't know which eunuch next to the new emperor will take over."

"Who else, I guess it's Su Peisheng, who can compare to him in terms of honor and favor?"

"Cough cough!"

Zhao Zhendou, the chief eunuch of the imperial dining room, appeared at the door, and glared at the young eunuchs who came to pick up the meals, "What time is it now? Gossiping here, everyone doesn't want their heads anymore!"

The little eunuchs shrank their shoulders and looked at me and you one by one. They all lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"Eunuch Zhao," the eunuch in charge of miscellaneous affairs came up and whispered in Zhao Zhendou's ear, "The master said that there is not enough fermented soy sauce. In the Palace of Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui, there is a dish of cabbage in soy sauce waiting for you. Look at us Who can go first?"

"What can I do?"

Zhao Zhendou snorted, "I won't give any of them, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs quickly send in new fermented soybeans. Don't you know that there is a favorite food in the Hall of Mental Cultivation? You can't eat meat right now, just wait for this one."

"Yes, yes, I'm so confused."

When the little eunuchs over there heard this, they all pursed their mouths secretly.

Qianqing Palace

After Eunuch Su woke up, he was urged by the second Eunuch Zhang to take charge of the matter before he could spend a few days lazy.

In fact, the first emperor had just left, so the eunuchs in the palace didn't need to make any big moves for the time being, and it was calculated that only the eunuchs next to the emperor would come out of the hidden mansion.

However, once the emperor and the courtiers, the slaves are even more so.

Having just changed masters, it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate.There was Su Peisheng sitting in charge at the head, and the servants in the palace somehow had something to do.

Chen Fu, the great eunuch who had worked in the Xiandi's office for more than ten years, has always been around Su Gonggong these days.

Su Wei was also willing to let him follow. Although he also came from the palace, he had been outside for so many years.In front of Qianqing Palace, everything cannot be compared with the past.It's better to have an old horse who knows the way to take you with you than a bunch of them from outside the government.

"I don't know what Long Live Lord wants to use for lunch today." Chen Fu followed Su Wei and stood beside the steps of Qianqing Palace. Sleeping on a thatch mat, not knowing whether the body can bear it, is really worrying."

"Long live the Lord is benevolent and filial, it's hard for others to persuade you," Su Wei stood on tiptoe to look at the East Wing, but unfortunately the window was closed tightly, so he couldn't see anything. "At noon, let someone make some clear noodles and lay two extra eggs. Use some vinegar, stir-fry shiitake mushrooms and cabbage, and then a plate of black beans and small rapeseed."

"Ouch, Lord Long Live seldom eats recently. Eunuch Su wants to deliver it himself?"

"Who said it was eaten by Long Live?" Su Wei glanced at Chen Fu, "Our family ate it ourselves, but Long Live is still the same, porridge and side dishes, where can we eat these?"

"So that's how it is," Chen Fu smiled awkwardly, "It's still Mr. Su's good fortune."

Noon

Lord Yongzheng finally left the East Veranda for a while, and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation for dinner.

There was no one else in the inner hall, only Eunuch Su was waiting on him.

On the round table are porridge and side dishes, as well as noodles and a few plates of fried vegetables.

"Come, have an egg," Grandpa Su put the laid egg into Grandpa Yongzheng's bowl.

"My way is fine. You can eat whatever you want, and you won't be seen by the imperial dining room."

Lord Yongzheng lowered his head and smiled, observing his filial piety for several days, he has actually lost a lot of weight.

"I can't eat too much, you can eat more and your body will be just right."

"I'm fine. The medicine from the consultant's office seems to have no side effects," Su Wei set aside half a bowl of his own noodles for the emperor sitting beside him, and took a spoon to scoop the porridge into his bowl to drink.

"The concubines in the harem have to find a way quickly. They can't move to Ningshou Palace together. No matter how crowded they are, they won't be able to live there."

"I'll let someone repair the Palace of Compassion and Ning." Master Yongzheng was also a little distressed when he thought of this matter.

The late emperor had just left, so he couldn't ignore the late emperor's concubines, on the contrary he had to take care of them carefully.Otherwise, one inappropriateness will result in the crime of treating the late emperor's concubines harshly and being unfilial to the son.

"Doesn't it cost money to repair the palace?"

Grandpa Su blinked his eyes, "I think it's better to let the princes who already have mansions take care of themselves, and those who have no heirs will move to Ningshou Palace. In this way, the concubines and concubines will definitely be happy. Who would not want to be with their children? live?"

"This is a good idea," Master Yongzheng really didn't think of it for a while, "The rank of those without heirs is generally not high, and it will save trouble in the palace."

"That's right," Su Wei smiled suddenly, "Concubine Hui is a problem. The elder brother was imprisoned by the late emperor, so he is not suitable for serving as a concubine."

Raise a concubine.Didn't Prince Lian grow up beside Concubine Hui?Let Concubine Hui go to Prince Lian's Mansion. "

Babeile had just been named Prince Lian by Lord Yongzheng, and with a half-healthy body, he handled government affairs in the cabinet together with Prince Yi Yinxiang, University scholar Ma Qi, and infantry commander Longkodo.

Knowing Grandpa Su's Xiao Jiujiu, Master Yongzheng also thought it was funny, "It's up to you, Grand Concubine Yi can go to Wu Ge's house. Yinzhen has been jumping around a lot these days, and I have another way to deal with him. Rong The concubine is easy to say, the third brother's house is just right. Others who have closed their houses can also follow this example and save a lot of expenses."

"Enn," Su Wei lowered his head to eat, but there was one more thing he didn't mention, and it was also the most difficult one.

Evening

When Prince Lian left the palace from the cabinet and walked to the carriage, he coughed for a long time before he eased up.

"Brother, pay more attention to your health," said Prince Yi, who walked a little slower, leaving the palace a step later.

"Thank you Thirteenth Brother for your concern," Yinhu glanced at Yinxiang, and asked the eunuch to help him into the carriage.

The car drove slowly, but he was not the only one in Prince Lian's carriage.

"Brother," Yinti also took a big risk and got into Yinhu's car, "the letter to Yinti has been sent. But now, is there still time?"

"It's too late, so what if it's too late?"

Yinhu leaned against the carriage, closed his eyes slightly, "We are seeking truth from facts, what to do is up to Yinyu to choose."

"But," Yinzhen bit her lips, "The war in Tibet won't be over for a while, I'm afraid that the distant water cannot save the nearby fire at Yinzhen's place."

"Don't worry, he doesn't dare to do anything in a short time," Yinhu tapped on the wall of the car with one hand, "Huang Ama passed away and didn't leave a clear edict at all. He said he passed the throne in front of us." To him, it was actually dictated by Longkodo outside the hall."

"If it's true, Huang Ama couldn't speak at that time, and it was too easy for Longkodo to pretend. Even if he had people seal Changchun Garden first, and then the capital city, but what should be passed on It has been spread. He himself knows best whether his own throne is safe or not."

"However, there are still many ministers in the court who support him." Yinzhen was still uneasy, "like Ma Qi, like Xunzhu, and even Wang Xuling's group of old Confucian officials, who knew that the edicts promulgated by the world were not written by the late emperor. None of them stood up against it.”

Yinhu chuckled, and opened his eyes, "You underestimate our fourth brother too much. He has been in business for so many years inside and outside the court, and he knows what he is going to do in the end. He Making me a prince is only to appease the clan temporarily, and when he is free, our life will probably be difficult."

"Then what shall we do?"

Yinzhen was sweating profusely on his forehead, "Yinyu has different identities, so he can always escape, but you and I—"

"If you want to survive, you have to make our brother unable to do so," Yinhu said in a calm tone, as if he was talking about something that was not very important.

"Myna, you mean, Yinti?"

The corner of Yinhu's mouth curled up, "Yeah, Yinti has been discussed as a reserve, and he is a compatriot with the current emperor. In addition to the empress dowager who is obviously dissatisfied with the new emperor, this drama is really good. Wonderful."

"But," Yinzhen frowned, "fourth brother has never been a soft-hearted person, it would be fine if the queen mother can persuade him well. Now that the quarrel is so tense, isn't it forcing him to disregard brotherhood?"

"Are you a fool to be queen?"

Yinhu smiled at Yinhu, "The new emperor wants to rule the world with benevolence and filial piety, and the mourning for the emperor Ama will follow the ancient rituals. Can he completely ignore the queen mother and deal with his own brothers? The rumors of his succession will become more and more popular. If he wants to move Yinzhen, he will inevitably be suspected of having no silver 300 taels. After all, there is no reason for a newly succeeded emperor to deal with it in the name of being unfilial and unfraternal. What about your own brother?"

"Then, will the fourth brother let the queen mother continue the stalemate like this?"

"Of course not," Yinhu breathed lightly, "He has just ascended the throne, and he will not show mercy to anyone or anything that hinders him from securing the throne. Everything is just a matter of time."

"If he really moved his hands..." A light flashed in Yinzhen's eyes.

Yinhu chuckled and closed his eyes again.
