Dressed as Su Peisheng

The first year of Yongzheng

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the Hall of Mental Cultivation

The Babaili urgent military report was sent by the governor of Sichuan, Nian Gengyao. Nian Gengyao is now the governor of a province, but he supervises the affairs of the governors of Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces, and his memorials can reach heaven.

When Su Wei walked into Dongnuan Pavilion from outside the hall, he saw Master Yongzheng holding a military newspaper in his hand, and his face turned cold.

"What's wrong? Something happened at the border?"

Lord Yongzheng's expression froze, and the finger holding the military report began to turn slightly white, "Yinti left his post without permission and took a team of troops away from General Fuyuan's camp, and now he is about to enter Shu!"

"how come?"

Su Wei was really surprised, the war in Tibet was not over, the situation in Qinghai was turbulent, and the fourteenth elder brother hadn't been called, how could he leave the camp without authorization?

"Could it be chasing some enemy? Or do you have something to discuss with Nian Gengyao?"

"He is the commander in chief!" Master Yongzheng sternly sternly said, "Is there anything I need to discuss with him personally!?"

The military newspaper was thrown on the table, "I still think highly of him! I thought he is getting older, but at least he has a calmer temper and can make achievements in the military. In the end, he still has this virtue!"

Su Wei followed Chutu from the bottom of his heart, but still couldn't help but speak for Elder Fourteen, "I haven't found out the matter clearly, so don't jump to conclusions too soon. Master Fourteen may be impulsive, but it may not be—"

"Not necessarily what?"

Lord Yongzheng turned his head, "He is the general of Fuyuan appointed by Huang Ama, who holds the Qinghai and Sichuan armies in his hands! Abandoned his post? What if the Junggar raided the border at this time? What if Luo Bu Zang Danjin conspired to rebel? Did he think he played house with Lao Ba and the others when he was in Beijing?"

Su Wei held his breath in his chest, and knew in his heart that Brother Fourteen had really made a big mistake this time.

"It must have been secretly instigated by Eighth Brother and Ninth Brother..."

"Hmph," Master Yongzheng sneered, "he has the same temperament as Queen Mother, sometimes I really feel that they are a family."

Su Wei raised his head suddenly, but couldn't utter the words when he reached his mouth.

The first emperor did not leave a clear edict, and the empress dowager was so disregarding the relationship between mother and child. He had originally counted on the fourteenth elder brother to win the heir. If he can go to the front and assist with his heart, he can make up for his majesty's blood and blood. , but now...

"Long Live Lord," Zhang Qilin's voice came from outside the hall, "Prince Yi, please see me."

Su Wei took a deep breath, rubbed his sweaty hands, and said to Master Yongzheng, "You didn't eat much at night, I'll go to the dining room to see if there are any delicious snacks."

Lord Yongzheng didn't speak, and Su Wei walked out of the palace gate a little lonely.

"Master!"

Xiaoyingzi had just finished handling the errands in hand, when he saw his master going out, he hurriedly followed him.

"I just saw that Prince Yi brought a lot of account books. I don't know what's urgent when I enter the palace so late."

Su Wei slowed down and sighed deeply.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Su Wei felt as if a big rock had been crushed in his heart, and he couldn't breathe, "You said, if the Fourteenth Master's temperament can be like that of Prince Yi?"

Xiaoyingzi was taken aback, "The Fourteenth Master is the Fourteenth Master, and the Thirteenth Master is the Thirteenth Master. Although they have different temperaments, each has its own advantages."

"Benefits? Oh..."

Su Wei lowered his head dully, "No matter how many benefits you have, it's useless if you don't use it in the right place."

"Master, what are you thinking about for no reason?"

Su Wei didn't answer, and stopped suddenly, "I just remembered that the medicine brought by the caravan has to be handed over to Prince Yi. You can go to the dining room for me, and pick out some digestible snacks and deliver them to him. Go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

"Oh," Xiaoyingzi agreed, watching Su Wei leave.

Yangxindian

Zhang Qilin lighted two more lamps for Dongnuange, and Prince Yi stood under the lamps, looking at the military report.

"Brother Huang suspected that Yinti left his post without permission, and planned to return to Beijing to provoke trouble?"

Lord Yongzheng didn't answer, but Prince Yi knew it in his heart.

"However, Shaanxi is the fastest way to go back to Beijing from Mulu Wusu. He suddenly transferred to Sichuan halfway, and it's not like Yinti didn't know that Nian Gengyao was the emperor's confidant, and he had been operating in Sichuan for many years. Nian Gengyao will notice it as soon as he enters Shu."

"I'm afraid," Prince Yi thought for a while, and said, "Yinti is really impulsive, and he will regret it after leaving Qinghai."

"Hmph, regret?" Master Yongzheng sneered, "Will he know what regret is?"

"Yinti acted impulsively, but he was not out of his mind. He and the starlings used each other and guarded against each other. In the early years, they were a little sincere, but now there are only some interests left. Now that the emperor has ascended the throne, Starling is in the capital, and he can't shake you in the slightest. Even if Yinti comes back, what can those people under his command do?"

"Thus, my younger brother reckons that Yinti may have been instigated by someone and got angry for a while, but when he calms down, he will figure it out."

Prince Yi's analysis is reasonable and quite in line with Fourteenth Elder Brother's temperament.

"Maybe..."

Lord Yongzheng seemed less angry, but in a blink of an eye, his voice became cold again, "Even so, I can't take that risk!"

…………

apse

Su Wei rushed to deliver the medicine to Prince Yi, this time he didn't go through Yangxin Gate, but went directly from Ruyi Gate, through the West Wai Room, and went straight into the apse.

There are three doors in total to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Usually, only the Zunyi Gate is open, and the Ruyi Gate or the Auspicious Gate are on the side of the back hall. They only open once every night when the guards change defenses.

However, Eunuch Su is different. He carries the keys of the three doors in his arms, and he usually walks wherever he likes.

The guards guarding the apse would not ask any questions when they saw that it was Eunuch Su who came in.

Prince Yi's old illness has never been cured, and Liu Huai couldn't find it for a while, so Su Wei also came back with a caravan from various places to search for various prescriptions.

This time, I found Jinchuang ointment from Yunnan. It is said that it is very effective in pulling out sores and detoxifying.

I found the small box from the drawer. The round bowl in the box contained a black ointment with a strong medicinal smell.

"I hope it will work," Grandpa Su read a few words silently, and walked forward with the box.

Outside Dongnuange

Seeing Su Peisheng coming, Zhang Qilin made a gesture and ran to relieve himself.

Su Wei moved closer to the door of the Nuan Pavilion, and the voice inside came out intermittently.

"Fortunately, Prince Yi hasn't left yet..."

"Since this is the case, Brother Huang's worry is not unreasonable, Yinti he..."

Prince Yi's voice trembled slightly. Su Wei didn't intend to eavesdrop, but when Elder Fourteen was mentioned in the room, he involuntarily stood still.

"If that's the case, Yinti is always ambitious, so it's hard to guarantee that he won't have other thoughts."

Su Wei frowned, he couldn't figure out why Prince Yi would say that.

"Then, what do you plan to do, brother?"

"He left his post without authorization and refused to obey the emperor's order, so I can't blame you..."

Su Wei squeezed the wooden box tightly in his hand, and even took off the tung oil on the edge.

When Zhang Qilin hurried back, there was no one outside Dongnuan Pavilion.

In the Nuan Pavilion, Yinxiang walked back and forth a few times around the soft couch.

"If Huang Ama really left such a will, would he give it to Yinti? Yinti's ambition is so obvious, Huang Ama has no intention of shaking the emperor's brother."

"If it was unintentional, how could you leave a will?"

The blows of the past few days finally brought Yongzheng, who had been forbearing all this time, to the brink of eruption.

"Huang Ama's words are beautiful, but things are done everywhere. What exactly is written in the will, Liang Jiugong will not miss a single word. But if it is what he said, this will be a deterrent to me, or the content Directly pointing at my throne, or giving it to someone who can threaten my status! Otherwise, even if I want Su Peisheng to die, I will be obedient and obedient, who in the world can stand me?"

"Brother..."

Yinxiang's chest was turbulent, and he wanted to persuade him, but he knew it would be useless.

"Chendi, Chendi...I still want to ask Brother Huang to think twice..."

"You don't have to say it!" Lord Yongzheng directly interrupted Prince Yi's words.

"I have heard enough of these words, and I am very tired!"

Prince Yi lowered his head and knelt in the center of the warm pavilion.

"You go back." Master Yongzheng walked to the desk with a few steps, and the account books of the household department's bank were still on the desk, "tell those wolf cubs in the household department, are they eating their heads full of fat? Their good days are over. How did you swallow it back then? Now I have to spit it out! If I can’t spit it out, I will have their stomachs dug out, their heads twisted, and their lives will be used to fill this hole for me!”

"Yes!" Prince Yi knocked his head on the ground, struggled to get up, and bowed out of the door.

night, apse

On the large dragon bed, two people with different thoughts are sleeping.

Su Wei stared at the pitch-black ceiling of the bed, with a heavy stone on his heart.

Master Yongzheng turned his body sideways, but also did not close his eyes.

Breathing sounds of different frequencies mixed together, Su Wei turned his head, stared at the silver moiré pattern on Yongzheng's pajamas, and sighed deeply.

Master Yongzheng turned around, stretched out his arms, and hugged him into his arms, "What's wrong, can't sleep?"

Su Wei leaned against the man's chest, listening to his heartbeat, "Yinzhen, I'm a little scared..."

I am afraid that I will know you less and less, and I am afraid that the distance with you will become farther and farther;

I am afraid that one day, you will eventually belong to the world and the throne, but you will no longer belong to me...

The person who embraced him did not hear his voice.

Holding his hand, gently stroking his back.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here..."

The tenth day of the first lunar month

Lord Yongzheng issued eleven decrees in a row, instructing officials below the governor of the province.

Instruct the governor: Since ancient times, when emperors governed the world, there must be ministers of Yue Mu who served as assistants to govern.After that, the four directions are peaceful and peaceful, and they are all in harmony with each other.The minister of borderland is the most important with the governor.The governor controls the two provinces, and he has both civil and military powers. He must make the generals and officials reconcile, and the army and the people are compelled. He is competent...especially to clarify the administration of officials. Appointed with an important position... Today's officials, they are famous for their reputation, and the rich family thinks it is real.And the cloud has both name and reality.Those who don't know the so-called name and reality, what is the fruit? ...In the beginning of the official career, those who had a good reputation and reached a high position suddenly changed their conduct. The ancients called them clever officials. How can they ask about their thoughts? ... My heir, Shao Piji, follows established laws in everything.But Ji Er and others, inspecting officials to ensure the peace of the people, training soldiers and assessing salaries, advocating practice rather than false names, being impartial and not prejudiced, so I earnestly warn... If you want to play favoritism and fail to do your duty faithfully, you will be deeply disappointed by the Emperor's Examination Brief Grace.The crime is serious, and the laws of the country are strict. Although I want to be lenient, I can't get it!

Instruct the governor: the country will serve as an official to guard the land, and Sui will organize the people.The responsibility of confiscating the frontiers is the most important thing...then all political punishments and money grains will inevitably lead to greed.How can the people be safe if the husband and officials are not clear about governance? ...The vassal treasury is short of money and food, and recently it may have reached hundreds of thousands. Because the governor's money is used, it is all given to the vassal. Extortion by coercion... Regardless of the uselessness of the imperial court's treasury, and the fact that the incident is hard to hide, he only thinks about sending more people to replenish the treasury, tossing and tiring the people, and taking responsibility for the state's private interests!The accumulation of valleys in prefectures and counties is most related to people's livelihood.Today, they are all regarded as the rest of the official offering, lending Chen Yixin's name, half for the subordinates, and half for the prefectures and counties!In the event of a famine, there is no relief.It is all caused by the governor, who is careless and tolerant at ordinary times, and is also caused by playfulness... If there are those who have been instructed by me, they will repent and change quickly, and if they don't, they will save their bows and encourage them... If you don't read the emperor's test slips, you will be prosperous, and you will cause harm to the local people. , Dereliction of duty, and self-inflicted crimes, how can I abolish the law to excuse you?

The following eleven decrees, such as the Inspector of Schools, the Commander-in-Chief, the Admiral, and the Chief Secretary, all angrily denounced the harm of government officials, exposed the greed and dereliction of duty of local officials and harmed the people, and ordered all provinces and ministries to eliminate corruption and make up for the deficit!
