Kangxi 29 years

In November, Prince Yu Fuquan led the troops back to Beijing.

The coffin of the imperial uncle Tong Guogang, the Minister of Internal Guards, also returned to Beijing with the army.

The emperor sent the elder brother Yinti and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen to welcome the ceremony.

On the way back, Su Wei followed the fourth elder brother's horse and walked slowly in front of the coffin.

One of them rode up to the fourth elder brother, cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to the fourth elder brother."

The fourth elder brother was slightly taken aback, and then replied, "Uncle Longkodo is polite."

Longkodo bowed slightly on the horse, "Don't dare, I have always wanted to pay my respects to the fourth elder brother, but there was no chance. Today, the two elder brothers came to welcome the funeral in person for the uncle. Tong Jia's family is really prosperous Hui."

"You're being polite, Uncle. Mr. Tong took the lead and devoted himself to the country. It is a great honor for me to wait for the younger generation to welcome him back to Beijing. What's more, the former queen and I were kind enough to raise me. Tong Jia's family was in a great funeral. You should do your best.”

Long Keduo smiled and said, "The former empress must be very pleased to know that the fourth elder brother is thinking. Now, the concubine Tong Jia is still in the palace, and I ask the fourth elder brother to take care of the former empress."

The fourth elder brother was slightly taken aback, then bowed his head and said, "Uncle, don't worry, Yinzhen is definitely not a fickle person."

Tong Guogang's coffin went to Beijing, and the funeral was held in a grand manner. The emperor once wanted to go to the funeral in person, but was blocked by all the ministers.Tong Guowei knocked his head on the hall three times, saying that it must not be done.

The emperor had no choice but to let go of his thoughts, but still issued an edict, ordering the emperor's relatives, civil and military officials to hold the funeral, and send Uncle Tong Guo on his behalf.

After Uncle Tong's funeral, Galdan's escape to the north was put on the agenda.

The emperor mentioned the matter of confronting the elder brother to Prince Yu Fuquan, and Fuquan sighed in tears, "What can I say!", taking all the crimes.The important ministers discussed the crimes. In the end, the emperor used his merits in defeating Erut, so he was exempted from the title, dismissed from the government, fined for three years, and removed the three assistants.

At the same time, other relevant generals were also fined. Suo'etu, Tong Guowei, Nalan Mingzhu, etc. were all downgraded by four ranks to stay in office.For a while, all major factions in the DPRK and China died down, and a group of literati and censors suddenly emerged.At this time, the fourth elder brother seized the opportunity and recommended Nian Xialing, a cabinet bachelor, to the emperor when the elder brothers had many recommendations.

Yanxi Palace

Eldest elder brother greeted Concubine Hui, "My son is reckless, let Er Niang worry about it."

Concubine Hui smiled slightly, "Forget it, you are also young. Now, since Prince Yu has taken full responsibility, this matter is over. After a while, you will bring some gifts yourself to Prince Yu's mansion to apologize You are a junior, even if Prince Yu feels dissatisfied, he will not refute your face too much."

Yinfei didn't lower her head to make a sound, Concubine Hui's eyes turned sharp, "What? Are you still not convinced?"

"My son did nothing wrong," Yinfei raised his head, "What my son told Huang Ama is the truth."

"Confused!" Concubine Hui slapped the table with her palm, "I think you have been dazzled by Shunyi recently! Let me ask you, how many times have you led soldiers? How many battles have you fought? So easy? The emperor asked you to join the army to give you a chance to exercise, not for you to fight for power and profit! This time, if your emperor Ama hadn't found a step for you, Prince Yu only needs to send you a letter for not obeying military discipline. I don’t want to get ahead in this life!”

Yin Yin lowered his head, his face was gloomy, Concubine Hui sighed, and leaned on the back of the chair, "Don't think that when the emperor sent the prince back, our chance has come. There are a lot of people. Now the emperor not only did not blame the prince too much, but also listened to the persuasion of the concubine Wen Xi, and gave the prince a row of two Manchu families. The foundation of the prince is getting thicker and thicker. At this time, you can’t sink Hold on, let your Huang Ama be taboo, in the future, the theory of establishing a family and establishing a family will be unreliable."

Yin Yin lowered his head and thought for a moment, "What Er Niang said is that the son was reckless, and the son will go back to prepare and go to Prince Yu's mansion in person after a while."

Concubine Hui nodded and smiled gratifiedly.

End of november

Su Wei followed the fourth elder brother to the Yonghe Palace to pay his respects. In the inner hall, Yinxiang and Yinti were there.

The fourth elder brother greeted Concubine De, Concubine De smiled and waved her hands, "Get up quickly, we are all family members, don't pay attention to these things."

The fourth elder brother stood up, walked to Concubine De and sat down with her arms crossed, Yin Xiang leaned over step by step and stood beside the fourth elder brother, Yinti sat on the couch of Concubine De, the fourth elder brother smiled at Concubine De and said, " Er Niang, the weather has suddenly turned cold recently, how is your health?"

"Er Niang is very good, the fire dragon has been smoky early in this room, it's not cold at all," Concubine De said, and patted Elder Fourteen to make him sit upright.

The fourth elder brother looked at it, and said softly, "Speaking of which, Yinzhen is three years old, and Yinxiang is five years old, and it seems that he has reached the age of moving to the palace."

Concubine De leaned back on the couch, "That's right, time flies so fast, Yinxiang didn't know how to crawl when he was carried to Yonghe Palace, and he will be at the age of moving to the palace in a blink of an eye."

The fourth elder brother turned his head to look at Yinxiang, Yinxiang smiled at the fourth elder brother, and the fourth elder brother asked, "Is Yinxiang enlightened now? How is he learning?"

Yin Xiang looked at Concubine De, then at Si Elder Brother, lowered his head slightly and said, "My younger brother is stupid, he can't learn as well as Fourteenth Brother."

Concubine De smiled, "This child is just talking nonsense. Yinxiang is smart and hardworking, and he learns characters quickly and solidly, but he is a little weaker in arithmetic. Yinang is mischievous, and Eniang always has to look at him. I don't have time to teach Yinxiang more."

The fourth elder brother looked at Yinxiang, and said softly, "Don't worry about arithmetic. When you have a master, the master will teach you."

Yinxiang nodded obediently.

"By the way," the fourth elder brother said to Concubine De as if thinking of something, "Now Ganxi and Gandong are full, where will Yinxiang live after he moves to the palace?"

Concubine De asked the maid to serve a few bowls of tea, "Your Huang Ama arranged this, saying that in the future the Maoqin Palace will be cleaned up and let the younger brothers live. Now the only one who has reached the age is Yinxiang, don't worry, it will be two years later It's the same, when Yinti grows up, let the two of them move to Maoqin Hall together."

The fourth elder brother nodded slightly when he heard the words, but thought a little bit in his heart.

"Speaking of which, the older ones of you have reached the age to leave the palace, but the emperor has just pacified the San Francisco, and started to deal with Galdan, and has never had time to mention your building a mansion." Concubine Hui held up the tea bowl. He took a sip and sighed.

The fourth elder brother smiled, "It's not urgent, my son still wants to be closer to Er Niang in the palace."

Concubine Hui put down the tea bowl, and the corners of her mouth slightly curved, "Emiang knows you are filial, but the population in your backyard is increasing, and Emiang can't bear to have you all crowded in that small courtyard. Recently, Emiang listened to your empress What Ama means is that he intends to choose Fujin for you and the third elder brother."

"Choose Fujin?" The fourth elder brother was taken aback, "But, the prince hasn't married yet?"

Concubine De lowered her head and stroked her armor, "Prince, this marriage cannot be settled for a while. Er Niang doesn't want to delay you in her private heart. Your Huang Ama is interested, so you just go ahead."

The fourth elder brother was slightly taken aback, nodded and said, "My son knows, please rest assured, my mother."

When the fourth elder brother was about to come out, Su Wei was warming up the fire in the side hall, and he was a little drowsy from the heat. The little eunuch came to tell him that he suddenly woke up, rubbed his face vigorously and trotted out.

Concubine De sent the fourth elder brother to the entrance of the main hall all the way, the fourth elder brother turned around and said, "It's cold outside, Er Niang, go back quickly."

Concubine De nodded, "Hold the stove on the way back, don't be greedy for coolness and feel the cold."

"Emiang, don't worry, my son is leaving." The fourth elder brother bowed and bowed, and exited the door. The thirteenth elder brother walked to the door and bowed to the fourth elder brother, "Fourth elder brother, please go."

The fourth elder brother touched Yinxiang's head and walked out.

After leaving the Yonghe Palace, the fourth elder brother looked back and sighed slightly.

"Master, what's the matter?" Su Wei stepped forward and said softly.

"Emiang mentioned to me about Yinxiang's move to the palace. Huang Ama intends to let the young brothers move to Maoqin Palace. Emiang said that she will stay with Yinxiang for two more years, and then move with Yinti."

Su Wei tilted his head, "I heard that the eighth prince is also two years late, but now I don't see any lagging behind."

The fourth elder brother shook his head, "After all, only Yinhu was raised by Concubine Hui, and Yinhu's teaching is considered strict. But Erniang's here... Today, Erniang said that Yinxiang's arithmetic is not good. I'm afraid it will be delayed like this. If you go down, you will be disgusted by Huang Ama when you arrive at the Maoqin Hall."

Su Wei rolled his eyes when he heard the words, thought for a moment and said, "If the master is really worried, why don't we find a reason to let the thirteenth elder brother move to our yard, so that the master can personally tutor, and if you have any questions, you can ask Mr. Gu and the others."

The fourth elder brother was stunned, "This is a way. Yinxiang is young, so he only needs to bring two people close to him. Clean up the west wing of the front yard, which is enough for him to live in."

"That's right," Su Wei patted his chest, "And there are servants here, even eunuch Wenda is spared."

"Acquainted with the eunuch?" The fourth elder brother slowly turned his head to look at Su Wei, "You?"

Su Wei nodded, what kind of eyes did the fourth elder brother have? "A slave can be regarded as a great eunuch, and he also has a rank. The master can't let Zhang Qilin be the master. Besides, it's not difficult to teach some rules."

The fourth elder brother narrowed his eyes, "It's not difficult? You'd better stay honest, your own rules are half a bottle... Is it not enough for you to serve me alone?"

Su Wei pursed his lips, lowered his head, the fourth elder brother glanced at him, and walked forward, Su Wei followed sullenly.Well, sure enough, people change.He felt that the fourth elder brother was not as cute as before. When he was a child, he would praise him with watery eyes, but now he is disgusted by all kinds of words.Where did he fail to learn the rules?Is there a more disciplined servant than him in this world?

In December, the busy Laba Festival, the busy preparations for the new year.It seems that in a blink of an eye, Kangxi came to the head in 29 years.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the fourth elder brother took Su Wei to the imperial garden to enjoy the fireworks. Behind the rockery, he met two familiar faces. You're welcome".

"Greetings to the fourth elder brother," Huan Yuefu, who was standing behind Tong Jia, saluted.

"Aunt Huanyue, long time no see," the fourth elder brother nodded slightly.

"People in the harem are not suitable to associate with elder brother, I will leave first," Tong Jia said softly.

The fourth elder brother stood sideways to the side of the road, "Auntie can go."

Tong Jiashi bowed slightly, walked in front of the fourth elder brother, but stopped suddenly, "Did the fourth elder brother go to greet Uncle Tong to lay the ceremony?"

"Yes," the fourth elder brother turned around, "I also met Uncle Longkodo, who is very concerned about my aunt."

Tong Jia's body froze slightly, "Is that so? If the fourth brother sees...my brother again, please tell me that I am fine."

The fourth elder brother nodded, "Don't worry, Auntie will definitely bring it."

Huanyue supported Tong Jiashi's arm, "Master, it's windy and snowy here, let's go quickly."

Tong Jiashi looked at Huanyue and nodded slightly.

The first day of February in the 30th year of Kangxi

Su Wei had a good night's sleep, and walked out of the house to stretch on the porch.

Xiao Erge leaned over like a dog and said, "Brother Su, the west wing is ready, when will Brother Thirteen come over?"

Su Wei panted lazily, "The fourth elder brother has already discussed with Empress Defei, and it is estimated that he will come next month."

Xiao Erge nodded, while the two were talking, a little eunuch ran over and called Su Wei, "Grandpa Su, there is a message from the respect room that we are going to be the eunuch of the Fifth Institute of the East on the seventh day of February." Go to the respect room to check your body."

Su Wei was taken aback for a moment, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
