Dressed as Su Peisheng

The first year of Yongzheng

February 23

Nian Gengyao, governor of Sichuan, sent a memorial to Beijing again. This time, he publicly impeached General Fuyuan Yinti. In charge of military power.

There was also a lot of discussion about this in the court. Many courtiers echoed Nian Gengyao's statement and asked the emperor to issue an order to recall the fourteenth elder brother to punish him for the crime of delaying the military situation.

Unexpectedly, Lord Yongzheng was very silent in court and did not issue an order immediately.

Afternoon, Hall of Mental Cultivation

Prince Yi held Nian Gengyao's memorial, and frowned deeply, "Nian Gengyao has already reported Yinti leaving the camp without permission. Since the emperor didn't deal with it, why did he impeach him again? Now the Tibetan military newspaper , the situation is good, Lhasa is already under our control, and Yanxin will arrive soon. According to Nian Gengyao's mind, he should know the reason to stay out of it."

Lord Yongzheng stood by the window with his hands behind his back, and it seemed that the weather in Beijing was getting warmer in March.

"No matter what Nian Gengyao is thinking, the border cannot be messed up."

Prince Yi raised his head slightly, looked at half of his brother's face, then lowered his head after a while, and said, "Yes..."

Coming out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Prince Yi just ran into Xunzhu, Minister of the Ministry of War, who came to face the saint.

Xun Zhu is one of the old ministers who have always supported the new emperor, and Lord Yongzheng also thinks highly of him.

"Prince Yi."

"Master Shangshu."

The two met Li, and Yinxiang still respected the old man, "Your Excellency is here for Nian Gengyao's impeachment of the General, right?"

"Yes," Xun Zhu also said bluntly, "no matter what the reason, as the commander-in-chief of the first army, it is a big mistake to leave his post without authorization. But at this time, Tibet is not peaceful, and Qinghai is also undercurrents. , calm and decisive, won the king's heart. The old minister privately thought that Nian Gengyao had to give more consideration to this memorial."

"This king and Master Shangshu have the same idea, and the emperor has no intention of disposing of the general. But..."

Prince Yi paused, "Brother Huang thinks highly of Nian Gengyao, I'm afraid he will entrust him with even more important tasks in the future."

Xun Zhu frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he sighed, "It's human nature for the emperor to be thoughtful, but that Nian Gengyao is probably not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Beijing, Dashilan

Recently I heard that there is a new restaurant opened behind Dashilan, the building is full of western things, and the invited singing girls sing all western tunes, the rich and the rich and the gentry in Beijing flock to it.

But not everyone can enter this restaurant, you have to get a post before you can go in and enjoy it.

Su Dacaidong's posts were received very quickly. Less than half a month after the restaurant opened, someone respectfully sent it to Jishengtang.

"I'm bored today, so Master will take you to see and see."

This was the first time that Su Wei took Xiaoyingzi and Qi Xi'er out of the palace together. Qi Xi'er looked like a bumpkin, looking fresh everywhere.

"Master, what does this Western singing girl look like? Does she also have blue eyes and yellow hair?" Xiao Yingzi asked.

"If you're not a foreigner, you have blue eyes and yellow hair," Su Wei led the two into the carriage, "Besides, I guess they only know two Western ditties. How can you really get Westerners with such skill?"

However, this time, Eunuch Su was wrong. When the carriage arrived in Ruilaixiang, there was actually a girl with blue hair and blue eyes who was babbling in the hall.

"I went. Sure enough, money can turn ghosts around. Could this be abducted?"

"Su Caidong!"

A very thin-looking man walked towards him, "Fan Shi, the shopkeeper of Ruilaixiang, the villain, I don't know if Su Caidong came here today, so I am really disappointed, I am welcome."

"Food? The shopkeeper is such a good name," Su Caidong gave a thumbs up, still a little overwhelmed by the shock.

"Su Caidong was joking, come on upstairs, please," Fan Shi was very generous, and welcomed Su Wei and his party all the way to the private room on the second floor.

"We serve authentic watercress dishes here, and even the chefs are Western-style cooks. You can order whatever you want. When you come back for the first time, the villain will be the host."

"What's so funny about that?"

Su Wei's eyes lit up when he heard that he didn't need to pay the bill, but he still said perfunctorily, "This is not appropriate, it is not appropriate."

"Why is this inappropriate? It's our honor for Mr. Su to come here often. What's a meal?"

Shopkeeper Fan enthusiastically stuffed the menu brand into Su Wei's hand, as if he wanted to order all the dishes in the store.

Xiaoyingzi was watching the fun with a smile on the side, while Qixier was a little dazed, looking at the wall of the private room next to her from time to time.

After finally sending shopkeeper Fan away, Su Wei looked at Qi Xi'er and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you keep looking over there?"

"Ah?" Qi Xi'er was still dumbfounded, "The voice next door sounds familiar, as if I heard it in the palace."

"In the palace?" Su Wei rushed to the edge of the wall and listened with his ears. It took a long time to barely hear some muffled human voices.

It was impossible to tell who it was. Grand Duke Su was just curious, and it was a coincidence that when the door next door slammed, several people came out in a file.

The three master and apprentice stuck to the door again, along the crack of the door, Su Wei finally saw clearly now.

Alsuna, Nalan Kuisu, and one more, Longkodo!

How could Longkodo get involved with Nalan Kuixu and the others?

A layer of white sweat instantly appeared on Su Wei's body!

In order not to be discovered by the always alert Long Kedo, Su Wei hurriedly dragged the two apprentices away from the door of the box.

Together with those three people, there were some unfamiliar faces, who seemed to be local officials who had come to Beijing to report on their duties.

Fortunately, this group of people didn't stay outside for long and went downstairs soon.

"Master, how could Lord Longkodo..."

Before Xiaoyingzi finished speaking, the door of the box rang, and Fan Shi led Xiao Er, and personally delivered the food.

"Su Caidong, please use it. If you are not satisfied, you must mention it to the villain."

Su Wei pulled the corner of his mouth, "Shopkeeper Fan, this restaurant of yours is very interesting. You can't get in without a post. I'm afraid the people who come in and out usually are dignitaries."

"Hey, don't dare to lie to Su Caidong. The villain's family is from Baoyi. Although he is humble, his ancestors are related to Xianghuangqi by marriage. The nobles in Beijing should give some face, otherwise the villain would not dare to open such a restaurant. .”

"I see..." Su Wei nodded.

Fan Shi smiled, and set the table and chopsticks for Su Wei himself, "However, no matter who comes to the restaurant of the villain, no matter how noble he is, he is not as expensive as Su Caidong..."

Su Wei raised his head, and Fan Shi smiled even more obsequiously.

"The shopkeeper's words are sincere. There are indeed few people in Beijing who are more expensive than Eunuch Su."

Suddenly there was a voice at the door, Xiaoyingzi was taken aback, and Qixier stood up abruptly.

Longkodo walked in slowly step by step, and waved at Shopkeeper Fan casually.

The door of the box was closed, and Longkodo's two guards guarded the door.

Both Xiaoyingzi and Qixier were a little nervous, standing behind their master, staring at Longkodo without blinking.

Su Wei picked up the knife and fork on the table, and skillfully cut the steak.

Ronkodo sat next to him, watching him leisurely feed the steak into his mouth.

"Well, it's still too old. If the beef is to be tender, the heat is the most important thing. When it's slightly bloodshot, it's the juiciest."

"Eunuch Su is very knowledgeable."

Longkodo put one hand on the table, the other on his knee, and the dagger pinned to his waist was standing brightly by his hand.

"Admiral, do you want to come too?"

Grandpa Su shook the fork in his hand, and suddenly said:

"Ah, I forgot, my lord should have eaten just now."

Xiao Yingzi took a silent breath, and accidentally touched Qi Xi'er's hand, as if touching something sharp.

However, at this moment, Xiaoyingzi has no time to think about these things, he just hopes that his master will stop flirting, and withdrawing as soon as possible is the kingly way.

Longkodo chuckled, but he didn't look too tense, "I have seen it today. I have heard a lot about Mr. Su's deeds in the past, and I was a little disdainful. Unexpectedly, it fell on me today. "

Su Wei chewed the beef, and looked at Longkodo with a strange face, "My father-in-law just came to eat western food, and it was a coincidence to meet the admiral. What, did the admiral do something wrong? So afraid of being seen ?”

The smile on Longkodo's face froze for a moment, and he said, "Why? If I'm afraid of being seen, I can just meet you in the mansion. Why come to this public restaurant?"

"That's it." Grand Duke Su continued to cut the beef, "The emperor values ​​the admiral, and the admiral should serve the emperor's kindness wholeheartedly."

"You don't need to be reminded by Mr. Su," Long Kedo stood up, looking down, "I will uphold the last emperor's will in Changchun Garden, support the emperor's enthronement with all my strength, and work hand in hand with the emperor and his ministers. The emperor's loyalty can be seen as the sun and the moon."

After finishing speaking, Longkodo supported the table with one hand, bent slightly, and met Su Wei who raised his head, "I believe that the emperor must understand in his heart..."

"That's natural." Grand Duke Su looked directly at Longkodo, without any evasion in his eyes, and only smiled slightly, "Uncle Guo has made great contributions, and the emperor has always praised you very much."

Long Kedo chuckled lightly and straightened up, "My official and the emperor have both the kindness of the monarch and his ministers and the affection of my nephew and uncle, so they are naturally different."

The atmosphere in the room seemed to relax a bit, Xiao Yingzi was just about to take a breath when Qi Xier beside her suddenly trembled.

There was a "pop" sound!

A shiny silver dagger was patted in front of Su Wei.

Qi Xi'er took a small step back silently, and Long Kedo smiled and said, "I saw that Mr. Su's beef was cut with a lot of effort. It can be seen that the restaurant's knife is not good. My dagger is made of refined steel. Cutting iron like mud. I will give it to Su Gonggong today, and it is perfect for Su Gonggong to use him to cut meat."

Su Wei stared fixedly at the silver dagger with ornately decorated scabbard, raised his head after a while, "Thank you, Uncle Guo, the slave will definitely use it well."

Long Kedo bent his mouth, said nothing, turned and walked towards the door leisurely.

"correct!"

Behind him, Grand Duke Su's voice sounded again.

"I forgot to tell Uncle Guo that Concubine Tong loved the side dishes you sent to the palace last time. I'm afraid there are not many left. When you are free, don't forget to send some more."

Longkodo's footsteps suddenly stopped in front of the threshold, and Xiaoyingzi's heart rose in his throat instantly.

After a while, the door of the box was opened, and Longkodo walked down the stairs with the guards expressionlessly.

"My goodness!"

After finally being unable to hear the movement outside, Xiao Yingzi's feet softened, and she grabbed Qi Xi'er's arm before sitting on a chair beside her.

"Master, are you crazy? Aren't you afraid that Long Kedo will kill someone? We didn't bring our guards out today!"

"Look at how promising you are," Su Wei picked up the dagger on the table and picked the ruby ​​on it, "he just told Nalan Kui that they had a meal, and there is no need to kill anyone. He made a special trip back , just give me a little bit of power."

"No matter what, you must bring your guards with you next time! If Bayan hadn't adjusted his defense today, I would never have come out to mess with you like this. I haven't eaten a meal, my little heart that is on the verge of a panic oh……"

Su Wei glared at Xiaoyingzi who was making a fuss, then turned to look at Qixier, "You have good ears, you can hear Longkodo's voice even through a wall."

Qi Xi'er scratched her head in embarrassment, "Since I was a child, my ears have been able to hear farther than others. Just now, I didn't know it was Master Longkodo's voice, but I just thought it was familiar."

"Thanks to your ears."

Su Wei turned the dagger in his hand, leaned his head back on the chair, "Long Kedo..."
