Yongzheng Ninth Year

the eighth day of April

On a mountain road in Changping, several horses galloped past. Before the dust on the ground fell, the arrows that pierced through the air had already followed.

"My lord, bow your head!"

The person guarded in the center threw himself on the horse, and two arrows flew past with a "swish".

"This won't work, my lord, the horse's target is too big, we're going to be living targets!"

"dismount!"

The horseshoes were raised on the mountain road, and several people dismounted quickly and ran up the mountain.

"Kill them, there will be a lot of rewards!"

"Sure enough, they are here to assassinate, they are not disaster victims at all!"

A man who looked like a guard pulled out his silver knife with a "swish" and said, "Be on full alert, make sure to keep the prince safe!"

"That won't work, there are too many of them."

Another panting little fat man stopped, turned his head and glanced up the mountain road.

"Don't stop, go!" The leading prince came back and dragged the little fat man.

"My lord, I can't run anymore," the little fat man pressed the lord's hand, "give me your cloak!"

"What do you want to do?"

"My lord, run quickly, you must get out!" said the little fat man, and quickly took off the cloak of the lord.

"No, you can't do that!"

Guessing the little fat man's intentions, the prince hurriedly reached out to grab the cloak, but was stopped by several guards.

"My lord, let's go, those people will soon catch up!"

"no!"

He watched helplessly as the little fat man put on his cloak, but the prince was dragged up the mountain by several guards.

"No, come back soon!"

"Little Shuzi! Wu Shulai——"

The rustling wind in the forest blew away the desperate cries.

A figure flashed in the mountains, and those who were searching hurriedly shouted, "He's there, chase him!"

On the other side of the mountain road, people who heard the news and rushed to the rescue were galloping.

Suddenly, several figures rushed out of the mountain path.

The person who took the lead on the horse took a closer look and exhaled for a moment, "Hongpan? Hongpan! Are you okay?"

"Uncle Eighteen!"

The person who was hunted down was the second prince of today's emperor, who had just sealed the Hongpan of Prince Bao.

Prince Yunyun turned over and got off the horse, picked up Hongpan who was almost exhausted, and checked up and down, "You are not injured, are you? Ah? Where is the injury?"

"I'm fine, but Xiao Shuzi put on my cloak and lured away the assassin. Uncle Shiba, save him quickly!" Hong Pan said, tugging at Prince Xie's sleeve.

Prince Jian looked up the mountain with a fierce look in his eyes, "Come on! Catch the assassin, keep the leader, and kill the rest on the spot!"

"Yes!" The soldiers who received the order rushed up the mountain. Not long after, the two sides fought, and the mountain was filled with blood.

For two consecutive years, Hebei suffered severe drought, and a large number of victims flooded into Shuntian Mansion.

Long Live God ordered Prince Bao to go to Changping for disaster relief. Prince Bao comforted the victims along the way and did everything by himself.

But when it came to Changping, the victims suddenly rioted, and the food was looted wildly. The local garrison, which was supposed to assist Prince Bao in disaster relief, did not come out of the barracks for a long time.

Prince Bao was escorted by a group of guards and rushed out of the encirclement. When he fled to the Changping Mountains, the people who chased them showed their true colors.

This is a group of assassins who disguised themselves as disaster victims and planned to assassinate them.

Fortunately, Prince Jian was patrolling nearby, heard the news of the victims' riots, hurriedly led people to Changping, and rescued Prince Bao on the way.

Capital

Long live God was furious after hearing the news, and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to conduct a thorough investigation together with Dali Temple.

Last year, when Hongpan was not in the Jin Dynasty, he married the Fucha family, the daughter of Li Rongbao, the chief executive of Chahar.Long live God ordered the two to move to Ganxi No. [-] residence.

After the end of this year, Mrs. Fucha became pregnant. When she heard that Prince Bao had been assassinated, she almost became pregnant.

Ganxi Second Institute

The fateful little Shuzi was rescued by Prince Jian's men. He was hit by two arrows, but neither of them was fatally wounded.

His master and ancestors came to visit him at the Second Ganxi Institute.

One of Xiao Shuzi's arrow wounds was on his stomach, thanks to his fleshiness, he didn't hurt his internal organs.

Eunuch Li Ying walked around the bed, admiring the immobile heroic posture of his apprentice, and said, "This meal is not for nothing, but someone else will be pierced through, and you are considered a minor injury. "

"Can you talk?" Eunuch Su sat by the bed and glared at Li Ying. "How old are you? You don't look like a master at all!"

Xiao Shuzi was moved, and said to his master with teary eyes, "Master, I want to eat meat."

"What kind of meat do you eat? Eat meat! My stomach is full of meat and I still eat meat!"

Su Wei patted Xiaoshuzi on the stomach, "If it's not too fat to run, is it your turn to be the target?"

Xiao Shuzi: "..."

Yangxindian

"None of the captured assassins survived, all of them committed suicide."

Prince Xie is now in charge of the Imperial Palace Guard Office, and is also the commander of the guards with white flags.Although he is young, except for the occasional quarrel with Prince Xun, he is very reliable in handling errands.

Lord Yongzheng believed him, nodded and said, "The Ministry of Punishment dare not investigate further, I will leave this matter to you."

Prince Xie took the paperwork from the Ministry of Punishment, opened it, and said, "Is it related to Long Kedo?"

"The leader of the guard stationed in Changping has a lot of contacts with Longkodo's second son, Yuzhu."

"However," Lord Yongzheng paused, "The Ministry of Punishments dare not investigate, but it's not because of Long Kedo."

"Why is that?" Prince Jian just turned [-] this year, which is the time when he is not afraid of anything.

"Because it involves Zhonggong."

"Sister-in-law?" Prince Jian's eyes widened, "Then, what does Brother Huang mean?"

"check--"

"Yes!"

first day of may

The eldest princess Mo Yaqi has returned to Beijing, and she has traveled to many places with Li Wei in the past few years.However, she was never able to conceive a child.

Last year, Li Wei was transferred to the governorship of Zhili, and Mo Yaqi stayed by his side all the time.

Until the beginning of this year, Mo Yaqi was pregnant.

Long Live Lord couldn't stand Eunuch Su's nagging three times a day, and finally ordered Mo Yaqi to return to Beijing to wait for delivery.

The Princess Mansion was cleaned up early in the morning, and everything is available in the mansion.

Mo Yaqi was tired from the journey and was pregnant, so she went back to the mansion first after entering Beijing.

Baosheng carefully waited for her to wash up, and said with a smile on his face, "The palace has already issued a decree, so you don't need to rush into the palace, the imperial physician will be here soon."

Mo Yaqi smiled, and touched her belly that was showing a little bit of pregnancy, "I am really pregnant with this child, and no one is worried about giving birth. I really don't know how naughty it will be when I am born."

"No way, everyone is happy for the princess."

Just as Baosheng supported Mo Yaqi to sit down, the little girl outside the door came to report, "Princess Qi, Mr. Su from the palace is here."

"Eunuch Su is here!"

Mo Yaqi's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly supported Baosheng to stand up, "Quick, let's go out to meet him."

"Master, be careful."

Just as the master and servant left the house, Su Wei had already entered the inner courtyard.

"Eunuch Su!"

"Big Gege," Su Wei walked a few steps and supported Mo Yaqi.

Mo Yaqi let go of Baosheng's hand and hugged Su Wei's arm, "I miss you, are you and Huang Ama okay?"

"Okay, okay, everything is okay," Su Wei was so happy that he couldn't open his eyes when he saw Mo Yaqi.

The two entered the room affectionately and chatted for a long time.

In the evening, Ilha got the news and came to Mo Yaqi's princess mansion.

"Oh, that's great, my little nephew," Ilha spun around and stroked Mo Yaqi's stomach, which made Mo Yaqi laugh.

"Just the little nephew, isn't it good for the little niece?"

"Good, good, all good."

Ilha is now the mother-in-law of two children. Although Nala Xingde is not as effective as Li Wei in his official career, he has a good family background and is honest. Long Live God still values ​​it very much.

"I haven't entered the palace yet, how has the situation in the palace been in the past two years?" Mo Yaqi chatted with Yilha about serious matters.

"What else can I do?" Ilha sighed, "My younger brothers have grown up, Concubine Yu and Concubine Hongshi are fine, they don't fight for anything. The rest are Empress Empress Empress Empress Xi and Concubine Xi. Fighting openly and secretly."

"However, Huang Ama and Huang Erniang have never been in harmony. I heard from my Erniang that the death of the imperial concubine was inseparable from the Huangerniang. You also know that the Huangerniang has been treated coldly a few years ago. It's as if her feet are grounded, and even Hong Yun doesn't let her see her very often. But recently, Huang Erniang's health is not getting better, and Huang Ama can't bear Hong Yun's prayer, so she has to open the door of Chengqian Palace again."

Mo Yaqi nodded when she heard the words, she probably guessed in her heart that Huang Ama has been on the throne for almost ten years, and the princes have all grown up, some people may not be able to hold back for a long time.

The next day, Mo Yaqi entered the palace.

Lord Long Live was also very happy, and told Mo Yaqi to enter the palace to have a baby when she was a month old.

Mo Yaqi's biological mother, Mrs. Song, passed away last year. Lord Long Live named her Concubine Mao, and also rewarded Concubine Mao's natal family generously.

Coming out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Mo Yaqi originally wanted to go to Chengqian Palace, but ended up running into Prince Jian.

"Uncle Eighteen," Mo Yaqi hurriedly bowed to the little emperor uncle.

Prince Xie said cheerfully, "Mo Yaqi is back. I heard that you are pregnant, and the emperor didn't prepare anything. Now, you can play with this jade pendant."

Mo Yaqi smiled and took the jade pendant that Prince Jian had torn off from his body, thinking that Uncle Shiba still treats her like a child.

"The eighteenth uncle, let's go in. My niece has to go to Chengqian Palace to say hello."

"Chengqian Palace?" Prince Xie stopped in his tracks, "Don't go, go back to the mansion first."

Mo Yaqi was taken aback for a moment, and before he could ask, Prince Jian entered the East Nuan Pavilion.

On the same day, Lord Long Live ordered Chengqian Palace to be sealed again, and Longkodo was locked up at the same time.

Over the years, Lord Yongzheng has successively dismissed the post of commander of the Longkodo infantry, and dismissed him from the position of minister, and only asked him to take care of the frontier affairs of Altai and other roads.

Although Long Kedo relied on his connections for many years and his status as an uncle to stand tall in the court, he was no longer a figure that the king could fear.

Longkodo's slave Niu Lun confessed in prison that Longkodo had accepted 10 taels of bribes from Nian Gengyao, Governor Zhao Shixian, Manbao, Governor Gan Guobi, and Su Keji.He also made friends with the former Prince Lian, Brother Jiu and others, intending to rebel.

However, Longkodo pleaded not guilty to these crimes, let alone admitting that the assassination of Prince Bao was related to him.

During the interrogation of Prince Jian, Long Kedo scolded the emperor in prison for being ungrateful, disloyal and filial, and favoring traitors.

And within a few days after that, the imperial court received an impeachment document from the clan's residence. This document impeached not a minister, but the emperor's close servant, the eunuch Su Peisheng, the leader of the Maoqin Palace!

Yangxindian

There were two loud bangs of "bang bang" in the Dongnuang Pavilion, and the servants guarding outside did not dare to breathe out.

Prince Yi picked up the memorial that was delivered again, opened it and looked at it.

"Su Peisheng, the eunuch of the Great Inner House, relied on his favor to seize wealth and wield power recklessly. His business firms ran through the north and south, and his fleet consisted of more than ten merchant ships. They went south to sell salt and went north to sell silk. ..."

"These people have checked Mr. Su thoroughly. It seems that Longkodo must have left behind."

Master Yongzheng's face was ashen, and his voice was full of ice, "So what if we find out? My relatives gave me a pawnshop, and I allowed him to do business. The so-called impeachment is just to bring up some trumped-up charges, and I don't need it." Pay attention!"

"Brother Huang, of course you can ignore it," Prince Yi sighed softly, "But if they insist on involving business with power and wealth, it will become a big problem."

"Back then, Lord Shunzhi, in order to prevent the eunuchs from the previous dynasty, left three iron plates saying, 'Eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics'. When Huang Ama just succeeded to the throne, Wu Liangfu, the most favored eunuch of Lord Shunzhi, was intervened by Huang Ama He was sentenced to death for the crimes of government affairs, forming a party for private interests, colluding with foreign officials, and disrupting the government. If Longkodo wants to talk about this, then Mr. Su will inevitably come into contact with officials when he is doing business. "

"boom!"

There was another loud noise in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. This time it was Eunuch Su standing outside, and he didn't move.

On the fourth day of June, the prison of the clan mansion

Two people wearing cloaks and covering the ground were sent to the depths of the prison.

Longkodo sat in the cell, his face, which had not been seen for a long time, was pale.

When someone came to the prison door, he didn't even look at it, "What? What kind of trick are you trying to play?"

The person in front of the cell door took off his cloak and hat, "Cousin."

"Ye Ruo!"

Longkodo was startled suddenly, and ran to the prison door in a few steps, "Why are you here? Yongzheng asked you to come here?"

The former noble concubine Tong Jia, now the imperial concubine Huang Kao, Ye Ruo of Tong Jia's family, looked at the people in the cell, her eyes slowly turned red.

"Cousin, you used to live a life of prosperity, why are you like this?"

Longkodo looked at the person he had been thinking about, and slowly took a few steps back, "Yongzheng asked you to be a lobbyist. He is afraid, isn't he?"

"He is already the emperor," Tong Jia's Ye Ruo held onto the railing of the cell, "he has nothing to fear."

"Haha, hahaha..."

Longkodo laughed out loud, looking crazy, "No, he has it, it's in my hands!"

Ye Ruo looked at his clenched fists, and there was a trace of disbelief in his eyes, "Cousin, you have been dazzled by power, can't you see the current situation clearly? You are already a prisoner."

"So what? He'll have to let me out sooner or later!"

Longkodo took a few more steps to the prison door, "Ye Ruo, you wait for me, we can be together forever after I finish the big things!"

Tong Jia's Ye Ruo smiled softly, stroked her gray forehead hair, "Cousin, I'm old and I can't wait."

Longkodo stood there fixedly, why didn't he himself have wrinkles all over his face?

"Now, the emperor is willing to give you and me a chance to die together."

Tong Jia's Ye Ruo stretched out his hand from the railing and touched Long Kedo's lapel, "Are you willing to give up all this and take me away?"

Like an electric shock, Longkodo took a step back.

Tong Jia's Ye Ruo's hand stopped in the air, she smiled.

"Yes, cousin, you are no longer the person you used to be."

Coming out of the prison, Huang Kao Huang Guifei looked indifferent, she said to the humanity in front of the carriage, "People's hearts are changeable, Eunuch Su is still too naive."

Su Wei blinked and smiled, "It's okay to try."

In mid-June, when the disposition of Longkodo and the impeachment of Su Peisheng were in a stalemate, something quite shocking happened in Beijing.

Su's commercial bank is a pawn sale, and all the silver earned is donated to the treasury of the household department to help the victims of the disaster.

Now, the courtiers who originally wanted to join in the fight all shut up.

Many of them still owe money to the Ministry of Households. What if the Long Live God asks them to sell all their family properties?

Almost at the same time, Long Live God ordered Longkodo to be disposed of with great speed.

Dismissed from office, deprived of rank, ransacked home, confinement in three couplets outside Changchun, and imprisoned forever.His eldest son, Yue Xing'a, was dismissed from his post, and his second son, Yuzhu, was assigned to the frontier fortress.

At the end of June, Yuanmingyuan Kyushu Qingyan

In the already hot night, Yinzhen lay on the bed with his arms around Su Wei, the cicadas could be heard outside, and both of them stayed awake with their eyes open.

"Donate to the disaster victims, I'm counting it as a good deed." Su Wei twisted his body and looked at Yinzhen.

Yinzhen pressed his forehead forward, "Yes, you have benefited the people, and the people are grateful to you."

"That's fine, then my hard work is not in vain," Su Wei turned back again, threw his legs out of the quilt, and closed his eyes.

Yinzhen kept looking at him, gently stroking his hand.

In the furry braid wrapped around his neck, a few silver threads took advantage of the moonlight and stabbed Yinzhen's eyes.

Yinzhen got out of bed and quietly walked outside the door.

"Zhang Bao, there is something I entrust to you to do. It should be done quietly, and no one should know."

"Yes!"

In July, in a large prison in Shuntian Prefecture, He Guang, who was sentenced to exile, was eating his last meal in the prison.

He is a businessman, and he has a good ability to do business.

Back then, he started from scratch and made the family property bigger and bigger, but he accidentally suffered the jealousy of villains.

The son was framed and imprisoned, and died in prison within a few days, and the wife committed suicide in despair.

The villain teamed up with a corrupt local official to usurp his property, broke one of his legs, and drove him out of the house.

In order to take revenge, he tried hard for three years, and entered the villain's house with a face full of scars.

The corrupt official back then had already been searched and dealt with, and only the villain was left hiding in the village. After all, he didn't have the heart to attack his wife and children, so he cut off one of the villain's legs.

As a result, the villain was frightened to death.

Originally, there was nothing to look forward to in this life. If he was sentenced to exile, he would be exiled. He Guangquan ate the whole bowl of rice indifferently.

"He Guang, someone came to see you!"

The cell boss called his name and opened his door.

Who will come to see him?He has no relatives anymore.

Full of doubts, He Guang followed the prison head out and entered a secret room.

There was a man standing in the room, who looked quite old, but he didn't have any beard on his face.

"You are He Guang?"

"Yes," He Guang was surprised that this person was not an ordinary person, so he answered honestly.

"I know you are very good at doing business. Have you ever run a business before?"

"Yes, I have sold tea, sold silk, and sold antiques, all of which I have done."

"Okay, now I'll give you a chance."

The person who came patted the box next to him, "Here is your use. Go to the Su's firm in Dianxia, ​​Beijing, and transfer the main business to Jiangnan within two years. Change your name and surname, don't attract attention, and you are not required to How big is the business, as long as it is booming, can it be done?"

He Guang looked at the huge box and nodded, "Yes!"

"Okay," the visitor took out a few documents from his sleeve, "This is your new identity. From now on, you will be called Tang Quan. Your family is in Huizhou, and you have been in business for generations. Do you understand?"

"Understood," He Guang took the paperwork and asked cautiously, "Who is the boss?"

"Don't ask, you will know when it is time for you to know."
