Dressed as Su Peisheng

The first year of Yongzheng

June [-]th, Prince Lian's Mansion

From the morning, the gate of the palace was closed tightly, and all the guards and servants were only allowed to enter but not to exit.

Ba Fujin has not slept for several nights, and this day is even more restless.

Although Jin Huan is Ba Fujin's most trusted close maid, she still doesn't know what happened in the palace.

"Fu Jin, it's useless for you to eat breakfast or lunch. It's getting dark now, so let's eat something."

"it's getting dark?!"

Ba Fujin looked out of the window in astonishment, and before he knew it, the sun had already set in the west.

study

The dim light passed through the window lattice and reflected on Yunhu's face.

He tilted his head slightly, looked out the window, his eyes narrowed unconsciously, and a faint smile slowly emerged from his mouth.

He seemed to have expected it a long time ago, such a dusk, such an ending...

That night, Luanjia hurried back to Beijing.

The news that Emperor Yongzheng was almost assassinated in the imperial mausoleum spread throughout the entire capital in an instant.

The five banners under the guard camp were thoroughly cleaned, and the Xiaoqi battalion was urgently transferred to the inner city.

The Qianfeng Battalion silently surrounded Prince Lian's Mansion, Dunjun Prince's Mansion and Jiubeizi Mansion.

On the morning of the next day, Lord Yongzheng ordered several clan relatives to investigate the matter together with Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment.

Originally, the courtiers have been making a lot of noise recently, which is the tax policy that Lord Yongzheng intends to implement throughout the country, "Dingyin is allocated to the land tax and collected together".

This policy is more decisive than the "breeding people, never adding taxes" established by Lord Kangxi when he was in power.

In the first trial every five years, how many officials and eunuchs set up names in it to make huge profits.

However, Lord Yongzheng's policy actually intends to abolish the poll tax that has lasted for 2000 years in China in one fell swoop.

The imperial court was in turmoil, and the place was in turmoil. The officials promoted by Lord Yongzheng naturally defended it vigorously, while the old faction swore to oppose it.

In order to resist the determination of the new emperor to carry out the New Deal, many officials began to secretly contact Prince Lian, Jiu Beizi and others in an attempt to form an alliance and fight against the imperial power.

However, no one expected that an ordinary sacrifice to the imperial mausoleum would turn into a rebellion.Although Lord Yongzheng didn't say it clearly, the actions of Qianfengying are already obvious.Prince Lian, King Dunjun, Jiu Beizi and others are probably the mastermind behind this conspiracy.

The officials who originally planned to get close to Prince Lian's faction immediately stopped thinking, and those who had already had contact with Prince Lian and others began to try their best to separate the relationship.

In less than half a month, the voices that dared to openly oppose the "didingheyi" have become weaker and weaker.

On the second day of July, Hall of Mental Cultivation

When Grandpa Su came back from the palace, it was just after lunch time.When I left early in the morning, I was full of energy, but when I came back, I was a little downcast.

"What's the matter, master? The business negotiation is not going well?" Xiao Yingzi moved closer to him.

"A shopping mall is like a battlefield," Su Dacaidong sighed melancholy.

Xiaoyingzi smiled and helped him to sit on the porch, "The man from Prince Lian's mansion is about to move to the clan's mansion. He told the guards that he wants to see you before he leaves."

"See me?" Su Wei was a little surprised.

"Yes," Xiaoyingzi nodded, "I specifically said that I only want to see you alone. I also said that if you don't go, you will definitely regret it."

A few days ago, the case of rioting in the military camp has been tried for half a month.

The result was not unexpected. Several participating guard commanders said that Prince Lian, Jiu Beizi and his party were behind the scenes.

Yunyu refused to plead guilty, insisting that she was accused of being framed.Prince Lian didn't say anything all the time, and looked completely resigned.

In the end, it was related to the lineage of the late emperor. Even if the Dali Temple had the evidence and the parties did not plead guilty, they would not dare to settle the case easily.

When the memorial arrived in front of the imperial court, the courtiers all guessed that since Lord Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he had always had an iron-fisted and arbitrary character, and he would definitely be punished severely.

Unexpectedly, Lord Yongzheng went to the imperial mausoleum again, and knelt in front of the late emperor's coffin for half a day. When he came back, he only confines the two of them to the sect on the grounds that they harbor selfish motives, form cliques, and have sinister intentions. Mansion, one person was sent to the Sichuan army to serve.On the other hand, King Dun, who had little involvement on the surface, only received a reprimand, and seemed to let it go.

The case of rioting in the military camp was temporarily suppressed by Lord Yongzheng.

Everyone knows that Long Live Lord also wants to protect the face of the royal family, and he doesn't want to dispose of his own brothers during the funeral of the late emperor, so as not to leave a reputation of being unfilial and disrespectful.

Knowing that the eighth elder brother wanted to see him, Su Wei didn't delay, and arrived at Prince Lian's mansion that evening.

Prince Lian's Mansion and the former Prince Yong's Mansion are actually only separated by a wall.But now, one is the incomparably noble Qianlong Baodi, while the other is sparsely populated.

Su Wei followed Rong Ping into the eighth elder brother's study, while Bayan and others waited outside the door.

In the study room, all the decorations are still the prince's ceremonial system, but the eighth elder brother has taken off the boa robe and brocade suit, and only wears an ordinary white gown.

"Slave Su Peisheng, please greet Prince Lian."

Even when Grand Duke Su arrived at the mansion where he was already a prisoner, he was still well-mannered.

The eighth elder brother sat on the soft couch and smiled softly, "How many people in this world can afford Su Gonggong's gift? This king is also often curious recently. Every time Su Gonggong salutes someone, he always thinks Think about something."

What are you thinking?

Su Wei smacked his lips in his heart, what could he be thinking about, in his previous life in a modern society where everyone is equal, when he met Party A, Party B, leaders and clients, he had to hurry up and ask questions, okay?

"My lord asked someone to say that he wanted to see me?" Su Wei put the whisk that he hadn't had for a long time on his sleeve, "Is there anything you want to tell the Lord Long Live?"

"I have nothing to talk to him about, the winner is the king and the loser is Kou," Eighth Brother picked up the tea bowl on the Kang table, lowered his head and took a sip.

Su Wei stood with his hands tied, he almost turned his heels up and swayed. Eighth Brother's habit of always beating around the bush may never change in this lifetime.

"Hasn't Eunuch Su been surprised? Since the fire in the suburbs of Beijing, you and that person's secrets have been hidden from me, but I have never said anything about it."

The eighth elder brother raised his head and looked at Su Wei fixedly, "When Yinzhen ascended the throne, I was forced to the edge of a cliff. You and I both know that you and I have long been destined to die either you or me The ending. But even so, I still didn't take advantage of it. Just imagine, a new king who has just succeeded is already deeply suspicious. If it is known that he has been infatuated with an eunuch for decades, how will the government and the opposition react? Can his throne still sit firmly?"

Su Wei blinked, and couldn't help laughing for a moment, "The lord came to me just to say this? Why, the lord held his hands high and saved us from harming us once. We should be grateful and let the past go."

"I don't expect you to be grateful to Dade," Brother Eight's eyebrows deepened, "but I want you to remember, and I want him to remember, I let you go! It's me who gave Eunuch Su a chance now, Be by the side of that lonely family."

Su Wei raised his chin slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "I understand, the prince wants to use this matter to keep his family safe, right? After all, little elder brother and little Gege are still young, and Bafujin's natal family Also implicated in this conspiracy, Prince Lian's residence is already in name only."

The eighth elder brother didn't speak, but turned his head silently, his eyes were empty.

"But why should we promise you?"

Grandpa Su's voice suddenly pierced into Ba Prince's ears, and Ba Prince's pupils suddenly dilated.

Su Wei turned around and walked out, while quietly saying, "You just said a lot of nonsense, only one sentence is correct, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit! A poor bandit, what qualifications does he have to sell favors?!"

"Then you don't want to find Liu Huai?!"

The eighth elder brother stood up suddenly, and Su Wei stopped abruptly.

"The sore on Yunxiang's leg, I'm afraid there is no cure for it?"

Behind Su Wei, the eighth elder brother was holding the corner of the table, his face was extremely pale, but there was still a last smile on his lips.

mid-July

Not long after Prince Lian was imprisoned in the patriarchal mansion, Lord Yongzheng issued an order to bestow the title of Hongwang Baylor and build another mansion to support the family members of Prince Lian's mansion.

Although there were many delays, Yunyu, the nine-year-old son who was sent to Sichuan, was forced to go on the road after all.Lord Yongzheng decreed that Nian Gengyao, governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi Province, be in charge and not allow him to harass the people and cause disaster to the local area.

July [-]th, Hall of Mental Cultivation

"How's it going?"

Liu Huai was finally brought back safely by Fu Nai from Zhuangzi, where he was under custody in the suburbs of Beijing. Lord Yongzheng specially decreed that Prince Yi should enter the palace for medical treatment.

"Back to the emperor," Liu Huai knelt a little shyly, "The sores on the prince's legs have penetrated deep into the skin. Of course, the grassroots can forcefully remove the toxins with acupuncture. But the prince's legs are bound to leave injuries. affect walking."

"Does it only affect walking?" Su Wei asked from the side. The doctors who had seen a doctor before all faltered and said that it would affect life expectancy.

"Yes," Liu Huai lowered his head, "Caomin's medical skills are right for this disease. As long as the toxin can be removed, the sore will not reoccur, nor will it harm the prince's body."

These words were like a needle for calming the sea, Rao Yongzheng, who had always seemed calm, let out a long sigh of relief.

"If it affects walking, it will affect walking. Just let people wait on you."

Prince Yi, who was leaning on the soft couch, also listened and smiled, "I've made Brother Huang worry, if that's the case, I have nothing else to ask for."

Coming out of the West Side Hall where Prince Yi recuperated, Grand Duke Su was heartbroken.

Master Yongzheng followed him, and the two went to the bedroom together.

"It's not in vain to let the eighth elder brother take advantage of it. Then Liu Huai still has two brushes. As long as the illness of the thirteenth master can be cured, let his family live in peace for two years."

"I still remember what Bafujin did back then," Master Yongzheng's voice was still a little cold, "However, Yinhu is sure that you are soft-hearted, and will definitely agree to everything."

"What if you don't agree? We've been looking for Liu Huai for so long. The longer the Thirteenth Master's injury is delayed, the more dangerous it will be."

Su Wei patted himself on the chest, "Besides, I'm fine now, it can be seen that God still has eyes."

Master Yongzheng chuckled and shook his head, "Now let's answer first, but that person of the Eighth Fortune Jin is definitely not a safe person. If something happens again in the future, I can't blame me..."

"Long Live Lord," Zhang Bao came from outside and saluted, "Xian'an Palace has come to report, and the second elder brother has already tidied up."

Su Wei was a little surprised, he was a little busy recently and didn't know anything about Xian'an Palace.

"Before, I canonized Hongxi as King of Lijun, and ordered him to live in Zhengjiazhuang with his family in the suburbs of Beijing. Now that most of the affairs in Beijing are settled, I don't want my second brother to stay in Xian'an Palace forever."

July [-], outside Dongzhimen

The carriage coming from the palace stopped on a path carrying people.

The sun was very strong in the suburbs of Beijing. When Yunfeng was helped down, he couldn't open his eyes for a moment.

In the other carriage, the people who got off were the Yongzheng Lord and Su Gonggong who were dressed in ordinary clothes.

"It's already out of the city gate, so I can only send my second brother here."

Yun Reng put down his hand covering his eyes, with a gentle smile on his face, "The fourth brother insisted on coming to see me off in his busy schedule, the second brother is very grateful."

The second elder brother's body is very thin, and after the new year, he gets sick one after another.Today, in the summer, he still wears a thick cloak.

Yinzhen couldn't tell what was going on in his heart for a while, so he could only say, "After a while, when the clan becomes more stable, I will take my second brother back to Beijing. At that time, I will open a mansion for my second brother alone."

The second elder brother smiled and shook his head, "I won't come back, this imperial city has imprisoned me for the rest of my life, now I'm finally out, and I don't want to go back again."

The corners of Yinzhen's mouth moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Yunfeng's eyes wandered past Yinzhen and fell on Su Wei, "Fortunately, although you stayed, you are not alone."

On the other side of the path, there was the sound of wheels rolling slowly.

Su Wei looked around for a while, then turned his head and said, "Second Master, although your family members are already in Zhengjiazhuang, there is one person, I wonder if you are willing to take it with you."

Yun Reng's brows moved slightly, following Su Wei's eyes, he looked at the approaching carriage.

The carriage came along the road and stopped not far from a few people, and a figure jumped down somewhat staggeringly.

"You, who are you?"

Yunfeng looked at the slowly approaching person, but didn't dare to recognize him for a while.

The visitor plopped down on his knees, tears streaming from his eyes, "Master!"

"Xiao Chuzi?!"

It has been seven years since Lin Chu was rescued by Su Wei.

"You're still alive?" Yunfeng couldn't believe it.

Lin Chu kowtowed and could not afford to kneel.

"Back then, it was the servant who happened to save Eunuch Lin Chu."

Su Wei told the second elder brother what happened seven years ago. For these years, Su Wei has not allowed Lin Chu to return to Beijing, and the second elder brother can understand.

"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive," the second elder brother's voice was full of relief, and he helped Lin Chu up with his own hands.

"master……"

Weeping, Lin Chu stumbled and said, "Slave, I have bad legs and feet, but I can still serve you. I beg the master to be merciful and take the slave with you."

"Eunuch Lin Chu has been trying to find a way to escape back to the capital all these years, and he has always thought of you in his heart." Su Wei said from the side.

The second elder brother smiled suddenly, raised his hand and patted Lin Chu's head.

"Okay, let's go together. Let's go to the mountains and forests and fields together, and take a good look."

The servants brought the carriage, Lin Chu staggered, and helped the second elder brother onto the footstool.

The second elder brother turned around, rushed to Yinzhen and Su Wei, and thanked each of them.

"Be nice to him."

Yunfeng said softly, and Yinzhen nodded heavily.

The car door was closed, Lin Chu jumped onto the car beam, looked at Su Wei, and nodded slightly.

The horse neighed, but the falling horseshoes were brisk.

Yinzhen and Su Wei watched the carriage drive up the official road, getting farther and farther away from the capital.

"Back then, the second elder brother was born in charge of most of the country. Now, he has finally left his secular duties, and he is completely relaxed."

Su Wei turned his head to look at Yinzhen, and reached out to hold him.

Yinzhen turned his head and smiled, the two held hands and walked towards the carriage.

"Go back to the palace?"

"No, I'll take you somewhere," Yinzhen said mysteriously.

The carriage entered the city gate and drove through the streets and alleys. Su Wei kept lying on the window watching.

Finally, the carriage drove onto Dongzhimen Street and stopped at a place full of voices.

"What did you bring me here for?"

Eunuch Su looked left and right, but he didn't see anything special.

"Get out of the carriage," Yinzhen pulled Su Wei out of the carriage.

The two walked a few steps forward, and stopped in front of a shop that was obviously newly opened.

Su Wei still looked puzzled, turned his head to look at Yinzhen, and Yinzhen motioned him to look at the signboard of the shop.

"Yong, Le, Dang?"

"Well," Yinzhen nodded with a smile on his lips, "Your!"

"what?"

Eunuch Su was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look again.

"I personally decreed to give it to you, and this is the only family in the whole capital."

Su Wei was stunned, and rushed into the gate in three steps in two.

The counters and shelves in the pawn shop are all available, and a big "Dang" character is hung on the wall facing the door. The lower right corner of the word "Dang" is the engraving of "Imperial Reward".

Su Wei circled around the front house and the backyard, and ran back to Yinzhen like the wind, "Mine? Is this all mine?"

Yinzhen smiled and nodded again, "Didn't you say that Zhouji started as a pawn shop? Now you have one too. With the name bestowed by the emperor, you don't need to pay any money. The ministries who want to rest their money Will come to you."

Su Dacaidong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned his head to look at the gleaming golden word "Dang" on the wall.

"These ten years..."

Xu Wei suddenly mentioned this, and Su Wei turned around in surprise.

"After all, I couldn't give you anything decent." Yinzhen smiled self-deprecatingly, "Just this pawn shop, with a little thought from Lord Quan, what can make you happy is the hope of Lord."

Su Wei's eyes were red for a moment, he hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged Yinzhen.

"Thank you," Su Wei's voice was soft, buried in Yinzhen's ear, "I like it very much."

Yinzhen was at a loss for a moment, then smiled and hugged the person in his arms tightly.

"Thank you too, Su Wei. Thank you, I love you..."
