Dressed as Su Peisheng

The first year of Yongzheng

April [-]

After the emperor canonized the harem, the eunuchs in front of the emperor also established official ranks.

Su Dagong, who has always been looked down upon by the palace, surprisingly received a job as the chief eunuch of the Maoqin Palace, but he was still promoted to the fifth rank.

Together with Eunuch Zhang Bao, the head of the respect room, and Eunuch Zhang Qilin, the head of the four deacon treasury, they became the three highest-ranking eunuchs in the palace after the new emperor ascended the throne.

The rest of the old people who came into the palace from the hidden mansion mostly went to the office, and they all served in front of the imperial court.Xiao Erge led the eunuch, the leader of Shangcheng sedan chair, and was promoted to the eighth rank.

Xiaoyingzi is now the chief eunuch of the Old Summer Palace, the sixth-rank eunuch of the Jin Dynasty, and is not usually in the Old Summer Palace, but is also served by the imperial court.

The two father-in-laws, Liu Baoqing and Jiao Jinchao, who were close friends with Su Gonggong, were also transferred to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and became the chief eunuchs.Because these two people have been in the palace for a long time, it is also convenient for the people in the Palace of Mental Cultivation to communicate with the old foxes in the palace in the future.

Lord Yongzheng did not establish any position as the chief eunuch of the imperial eunuch, which also made the internal eunuchs in the palace a little at a loss.

But soon, the people in the palace spontaneously divided into three factions. One faction was headed by Chen Fu, the eunuch of the Yuanzuo Office, who followed the lead of Su Gonggong; , headed by Zhong Quan, the steward of the Punishment Department, insisted on bowing to Zhang Bao, the chief of the respect room.

This Zhong Quan had always been against Jiao Jinchao in the Punishment Department, but Jiao Jinchao turned around and was promoted to be the chief eunuch of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and became the person in front of the imperial court!This made Zhong Quan feel as if he had been boiled by a raging fire. No matter how you look at it, Su Peisheng's faction is not pleasing to the eye.

However, the situation in the palace was negotiated privately by Su Wei, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Qilin.The three factions supervise each other and hold each other hostage. There are thousands of slaves in such a huge palace. Only in this way can the balance be maintained, and the old people in the hidden mansion can gain a firm foothold as soon as possible and expand their power.

end of April

The situation in Tibet was initially determined, and after Cering Dunduobu fled back to Junggar in embarrassment, he has been unable to retreat.

The ministers of the DPRK and China calculated that it was time to reward the border officers and soldiers for their meritorious deeds.

Others aside, the great general Fuyuan commanded in the center and made overall plans and responses, and his contribution is indispensable; Nian Gengyao's contribution to the assembly of the army along the way in Sichuan and the supply of food and grass is also very great; Good at fighting; Yanxin safely escorted Kelsang Gyatso to Tibet to be enthroned, and even defeated the remnants of Ceringdun Dobu in the end.These four people are considered to have made great military exploits, how the emperor should reward them, there is a lot of discussion inside and out.

General Fuyuan had the fault of leaving his post without authorization before, and the emperor didn't pursue it at that time, but it doesn't mean he won't settle accounts later.

What's more, everyone in the DPRK knows that the [-]th elder brother Yunzhen was also a popular candidate for the meeting.Now that the new emperor is enthroned, even if he is a biological brother, he may not be without grievances.

Nian Gengyao, the governor of Sichuan, has always been highly relied on by the emperor, and all the people he recommends are highly valued, and the emperor rewards him frequently.His younger sister, Nian Shi, became a noble concubine in one fell swoop and became the most honorable woman in the harem besides the queen.

However, no one thought that before the emperor and the cabinet set the regulations on meritorious deeds and rewards, another major event happened in Beijing.

General Fuyuan suddenly went up to impeach Sichuan governor Nian Gengyao and Hedong salt transport envoy Jin Qixun.Jin Qixun went all out to kill people, pretended to be military exploits, disregarded human lives afterwards, and destroyed evidence.Nian Gengyao indulged his subordinates, formed a party for personal gain, accepted bribes, and covered up the truth.

At the same time, Fan Guangzong, a commoner in Heyang, brought more than 800 blood debts to Beijing to file an imperial lawsuit.

It is not easy to stop the royal driver from knocking at the gate. Yongzheng has a lot of opportunities every day, and there is no chance to go out of the palace for a parade. Naturally, there is no car or horse to stop.Fan Guangzong could only hand over the certificate to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Of course, the common people handed in their certificates to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, waiting for the emperor's instructions, commonly known as "Beijing Control".The imperial court also encourages the common people to control the capital, which is stronger than stopping the royal family from knocking on the door.

However, for the same lawsuit, the results of Beijing Enterprises often end without a problem.Because the certificates handed over, nine out of ten will not be delivered to the emperor.

After all, the emperor has a lot of things to do every day, and he doesn't have much time and energy to deal with the grievances of the people one by one.

However, Fan Guangzong's certificate was a little different. It stayed in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for two days before it was taken away privately by the people in the palace.

On the second day of May, Hall of Mental Cultivation

Lord Yongzheng looked at the pleadings on the desk, and did not speak for a long time.

Su Wei stood opposite him, and pushed the pleading paper forward again, "Look, Lord Fourteen is not lying, Fan Guangzong is in Beijing, and the matter of Heyang is well documented."

It has been a few days since Yunti's memorial to impeach Nian Gengyao has been delivered, but Lord Yongzheng has not given any instructions for a long time.

"Fourteen Fujin told me long ago that there was a reason why Nian Gengyao repeatedly impeached the Fourteenth Master before, and it was not just for leaving his post without authorization. He was afraid that the Fourteenth Master would reveal the tragedy in Piyang! When the Fourteenth Lord arrived in Sichuan, they happened to send someone to arrest the old man surnamed Fan. If the Fourteenth Lord hadn't acted in time, then this case..."

"What about the case?"

Lord Yongzheng raised his head and interrupted Su Wei's eloquence, "Is Yunyu going to the border to command the army to enter Tibet to suppress the rebellion, or to be a patrol officer in the eight prefectures to observe the people's sentiments?"

Su Wei didn't react for a while, and froze in place.

Master Yongzheng sneered, "He thought that if he caught Nian Gengyao a little bit, his mistakes would be erased?"

"No, that's not what it means," Su Wei wanted to explain, but his mind was tied up, and he was at a loss for words.

"Why not?"

Lord Yongzheng's expression was very cold, "He and his good Fujin, ever since they knew that they had made a serious mistake, they started to think about it and look for it everywhere! How much effort did they put into you and Huang'enniang? Now this His mind has moved to Zhen's side in a grandiose way, and you still defend him?"

"me……"

Su Wei was a little astonished, astonished at what Yinzhen said to him, astonished at Yinzhen's attitude towards him, some icy cold air slowly rushed up, turning the fog in his mind into ice crystals.

"Isn't the old fourteen's family looking for you secretly for this pleading paper, and asked you to get it from the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

Fan Guangzong's blood and tears were thrown on the dragon table, shaking the pupils of the people in front of the table.

"What? He asked General Yuan to impeach people, so I have to deal with them immediately? There is always a fixed number of papers sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate every day. How can he be special?"

"Yes, but this is more than 800 lives..."

Su Wei suddenly felt that he seemed to be wrong, but for a moment he couldn't remember what was wrong.

"I am sitting on top of the world, where in this world do people not die every day?"

Zhen Yinzhen was still sitting behind the dragon table, raising his head slightly, "What is in your hands is the overall situation, and there must be rules for everything, no one or anything can be an exception!"

Su Wei's pupils shrank, and he took a step back subconsciously. The person reflected in his eyes was still the same face and expression, but it was strange and terrifying.

It was as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head in winter, it didn't wake him up, but it made him stiff to the bone.

"Yes, I was wrong, I shouldn't have taken the pleadings without authorization..."

Master Yongzheng watched the person in front of him retreat further and further away, and finally retreated to the center of the room, and bowed to him slowly.

"The slave realizes his mistake, please forgive me, master..."

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation

The noon sun was very bright, but it didn't bring any heat. Xiaoyingzi was waiting there, and for some reason, he always felt cold in his vest.

After a while, a person hurried out of the hall.

"Master!"

Xiaoyingzi rushed to meet him, "I'm waiting for you. The materials sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be sent to Shoukang Palace."

Su Wei stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Xiaoyingzi.

Xiaoyingzi was stunned for a moment, and felt that his eyes seemed to have crashed into a deep pool, so deep that he couldn't see any waves.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"……fine."

Su Wei turned his head back again, as if nothing happened, "Give me the materials, and I'll deliver them."

Inside Dongnuange

Only Lord Yongzheng was left in the huge palace, and he was still staring at the center of the room, as if someone was still kneeling there.

The chiming clock placed on the Duobao Pavilion rattled, and after an unknown amount of time, the empty eyes finally closed.

On the current dragon case, Fan Guangzong's pleadings are still spread out.

The pleadings were neatly written, but one section of the font was slightly distorted, as if the person who wrote the pleadings was also affected by the sound of blood and tears.

"...Caomin has a seventeen-year-old nephew who can already read and recite poems. He is usually obedient, filial, intelligent and cute. But that day, the nephew was sleeping peacefully on a couch at night. The mother cried and chased after her, but she had to run wildly, a corpse..."

"boom!"

As soon as Zhang Qilin walked out of the Nuan Pavilion with the newly brewed tea, he was so frightened by a loud noise in the room that he almost overturned the tea bowl.

Afterwards, the warm pavilion became quiet, and there was no sound for a long time.

"Didn't Eunuch Su be there just now? Where did you go now?"

Like Zhang Qilin who kicked a rabbit in his arms, he stopped outside the curtain erratically, whether he entered or not.

"Zhang Qilin!"

I don't know how long the time has passed, and there is a call from inside the house.

"The slave is here!"

Zhang Qilin hastily lifted the curtain, took the tea bowl, and quickly walked in the door.

As soon as he entered the door, he was startled again. The golden toad spitting beads incense burner on the dragon case fell to the ground with incense ash and a pile of memorials.

"Cleaned up."

Lord Yongzheng was still sitting where he was, holding a memorial in his hand, nothing could be seen on his face, it seemed that he knocked over these things inadvertently.

Zhang Qilin knew what to ask and what not to ask, he hurriedly lowered his head, put down the tea, picked up the memorial, put away the censer, and asked the little eunuch outside to come in and sweep the ashes.

Outside Shoukang Palace

Fourteen Fujin greeted the queen mother, and when she went out, Wanyan Jizhu was waiting under the porch.

"Fu Jin," Ji Zhu saluted.

"Get up quickly," Fourteen Fujin helped her up, "Your mother is worried about you, so I can only use this to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, and have someone pick you up to have a look."

"Please Fujin tell Erniang that everything is fine in the palace with Ji Zhu, so don't worry about me."

Jizhu is a sensible girl. In terms of seniority, Fourteen Fujin is his cousin, and the family has received a lot of help from Fourteen Fujin. This time, she was sent to the palace for the sake of the Fourteenth Lord.

"It's my mistake." Fourteen Fujin took Jizhu's hand, "I really shouldn't have let you come to the palace because of my father's business, it was a waste of time delaying you."

"Fu Jin don't say that," Ji Zhu shook his head again and again, "Back when my grandma was sick, Er Niang couldn't take care of the big and small affairs of the house, so Fujin sent people to help. Support my mother-in-law. It is Jizhu's blessing to have a chance to repay her cousin."

"Good sister," Fourteen Fujin forced a smile, "My father has already explained in the letter that he really made a big mistake and should be punished. Let the family stop running around because of his affairs. You here , I also made an agreement with your mother, after this year, I will ask the Queen Mother to give you a good family and leave the palace early."

"However, Master Fourteen has made meritorious service."

"Shh!"

The Fourteenth Fujin hurriedly covered Jizhu's mouth, "You can't say these words anymore! Now that things in Tibet are peaceful, my father has lived up to the late emperor's entrustment. Right now, we only care about the matter of Heyang. As long as we can help the people of Heyang To be fair, the Fourteenth Master..."

"Fourteen Fortunes are so leisurely and elegant."

An abrupt voice interrupted Fourteen Fujin's words.

"Your Majesty's Concubine!"

Although the visitor is dressed in ordinary clothes, he is also noble all over.

Fourteen Fujin was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly pulled Wanyan Jizhu, leaning over to salute.
