Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 35 years

After the military discussion ended, everyone walked out of the military tent.

The fourth elder brother was the last one. When he went out, the eldest elder brother was standing under the tree.

"Fourth brother is different today than in the past. Just a few words made Brother Wei look at him with admiration."

"Thank you for the big brother's praise," the fourth elder brother slightly bowed his head, "I just say whatever comes to my mind."

The elder brother walked to the fourth elder brother with his hands behind his back, "So that's the case. The elder brother thought that what happened a few days ago would make the fourth brother resentful. Now it seems that I am worrying too much."

The fourth elder brother frowned, "What happened a few days ago? What happened?"

"The eunuch that the fourth brother has always valued was injured by the enemy's meticulous work. Speaking of it, it was also caused by the negligence of the elder brother," the elder brother sighed with eyebrows furrowed.

The fourth elder brother raised his mouth, "It's just a eunuch, the elder brother made a big fuss, so what's the point even if he died? My younger brother is only worried now that as he grows older, if he keeps doing nothing, he may be despised by others in the future!"

The eldest elder brother looked up at the fourth elder brother, "The fourth brother has a noble status, who dares to belittle you, the eldest brother must have nothing to do with him!"

"Thank you, big brother," the fourth elder brother cupped his hands, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

The fourth elder brother was getting farther and farther away, the eldest elder brother stood in place and looked at the back of the fourth elder brother, his sword eyebrows were tightly knit together.

The wound on Su Wei's abdomen was very long, but it was not deep and did not hurt any internal organs, so he recovered quickly.During the few days of the march, Su Wei lay in the carriage of the fourth elder brother. He opened his mouth and stretched out his clothes when he had a meal, but he still couldn't cheer up.

The fourth elder brother leads the army every day, and rarely has time to accompany Su Wei. Su Wei has always followed Zhang Bao and Song Gan, almost inseparable.

At the end of April, because Galdan burned all the grass in the land passed by the West Route Army, General Fei Yanggu was forced to lead his troops to detour again, and he arrived in the Tula area on the fourth day of May.The Central Route Army led by the Holy One traveled slowly all the way, and on the eighth day of May, they arrived at the Kelulun River and approached the Galdan camp.

When the war came, the emperor personally led the vanguard battalion, and together with the elder brother and Suo'etu sent troops to the Kelulun River, and the elder brothers followed the rear to guard the camp.

In the fourth elder brother's tent, Su Wei had already begun to walk around the ground clutching his wound.Zheng Hongqi led Guerjia's Bodun in a hurry, bowed in front of the fourth elder brother and said, "Si elder brother, there is news from the front line that the Holy Spirit has descended from the sky, and Galdan fled in anticipation of the wind, and all his troops lost their troops Abandoned armor and fled to Terelji mouth."

"Really?" The fourth elder brother threw a pen and smiled, "General Fei Yanggu is on his way to the east. Looking at it this way, he just caught the Galdan army. This time, a big victory is imminent."

The situation of the battle was as everyone expected, the emperor ordered his minister Ma Sika to be the general of Pingbei, and led the troops to pursue him, chasing Galdan all the way to the vicinity of the West Route Army.General Fei Yanggu ordered the vanguard to command Shuo Dai and others to fight and retreat, and lured Galdan to Zhaomodo. Zhaomodo was surrounded by Kent Ridge in the north, hills in the east, and rivers in the west. It was easy to advance and not easy to retreat.

On May [-]th, General Fei Yanggu and Zhao Moduo formed a formation, divided into four groups, and occupied the highland river bank. When Galdan led more than [-] cavalry to the front of the formation, the West Route Army suddenly launched a general attack.From noon to dusk, the two sides fought inextricably.

Yin Huaxing, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia in the formation, suggested that two lines of surprise troops should be sent out to attack the Zhungeer army's side respectively, and combined with a frontal attack, they would surely win.Fei Yanggu adopted his suggestion and ordered him to ride along the river, rushing into the formation and attacking the luggage behind him.Fei Yang Gu Mingjiao ordered his horses to pursue them, and the Qing army pursued them to the mouth of Terelji in separate routes, and pursued and killed them for more than [-] li under the moonlight.

After the Battle of Zhaomoduo, Galdan fled with only a few cavalry, his wife Anu was shot and died, and the Qing army won a big victory.The emperor issued an order to reward the three armies, and ordered the elder brother Yinti and Suo Xiang, who had been restored to his post, to do the military affairs, and he led the central army to return to Beijing first.

During this expedition, except for the elder brother, the few princes who accompanied the army failed to show their skills on the battlefield. On the way back, the elder brothers were all listless.On the other hand, Fourth Prince's place is quite lively on weekdays.Bodun of the Guerjia family often recommended some officials and eunuchs of the Zhenghong Banner to accompany the fourth elder brother to drink and hunt, and discuss history and politics.

Su Wei didn't have any thoughts about these things, and he was often immersed in the sadness of Fuhua's departure. It wasn't until Song Gan mentioned it that Su Wei gradually realized that something was wrong.The leader of the red flag, he treated the fourth elder brother with too much hospitality.

Early in the morning, as soon as Su Wei lifted the curtain, he saw Lord Bodun, "Grandpa Su, can fourth elder brother wake up?"

"En," Su Wei nodded in a daze, and saw the leader of the red flag entering with a basin.

Su Wei turned back to the tent, the fourth elder brother was washing up under the service of Bodun, Su Wei stepped forward two steps and said, "Master Bodun, it's better for the servant to serve elder brother."

"No, no need," Bodun bowed his body, his face wrinkled with a smile, "Eunuch Su is injured, so he shouldn't be tired. Besides, it's my honor to be able to serve the fourth elder brother."

The fourth elder brother took the towel and wiped his face, and blinked at Su Wei with his exposed eyes. Su Wei scratched his head and stepped aside. Could it be that Master Zuo Ling wants to be a eunuch?

June

Zhongcui Palace

Hesheli was leaning on the bed, coughing unceasingly, the maid Taoer hurried over with a tea bowl, "My lord, the hot water is here."

Hesheli took two sips by Tao'er's hand, his cough seemed to have just improved, but a fishy sweetness suddenly surged in his throat.

"Little master!" Hesheli spat out a mouthful of blood, and Tao'er collapsed on the ground with a bang.

"Help, come here," Tao'er's helpless cry spread far away in the huge Zhongcui Palace, but there was no movement from the closed palace gate.

Yanxi Palace

The four concubines were all there, Concubine Hui smiled and asked the court lady to pour tea, "The emperor has returned to the capital with his teacher, this time Galdan was defeated, and the sage Longyan was very happy, we sisters should also discuss how to celebrate in the harem. "

Concubine Yi lowered her head and caressed her armor, and said in a meaningless tone, "It's just a few banquets, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrange it, there is nothing to discuss."

Concubine Hui smiled, and Concubine De continued, "It's a good thing to celebrate in this palace. However, my younger sister heard that concubine Hesheli had the disease and is currently being locked up in Zhongcui Palace. If you don't handle it well, I'm afraid it will break the emperor's mood."

"That's right," Concubine Rong said softly, "No matter what, the Hesheli family is also Empress Daxing's own sister, so I'm afraid it's not good to be locked up like this."

Concubine Hui pursed her lips and sighed, "I didn't intend to lock her up, but the imperial doctor diagnosed and treated her. Her disease is very contagious, similar to tuberculosis. Now in our palace, there are many elder brothers and princesses. I was really afraid that something might happen. Originally, the imperial physician suggested moving her outside the palace, but I also thought about the legacy of Empress Daxing. Anyway, she is the only one in Zhongcui Palace now, so let her recuperate there first. It’s convenient for us to take care of you if we’re closer.”

Concubine Rong and Concubine De looked at each other and said nothing.

Yuqing Palace

In the main hall of the backyard, a crisp sound came suddenly.

The Crown Princess Shi Shi hurriedly knelt down, and the Crown Prince looked sullen, pointing at her and being speechless for a long time.

Zhang Jia entered in a hurry, knelt down in front of the crown prince, "Your Highness, I begged Empress De Concubine and Concubine Rong, but they were blocked by Concubine Hui. Now you are forcing the crown prince to see the queen mother, I am afraid it will be too late It doesn't help. Yanxi Palace said that my aunt has tuberculosis, no one is allowed to visit, and the doctor's mouth is tight, we really have nothing to do."

The prince sighed deeply, turned around and helped Zhang Jiashi up, "You have tried your best, but I missed a move in chess. When Huang Ama returns to Beijing this time, I will immediately go up and ask you to seal the side Fujin, and I will do it later." If there is anything, you can walk in the harem."

Mrs. Zhang Jia leaned over and said, "Concubine's affairs are all trivial matters, but what should my aunt do now? Once the gate of Zhongcui Palace is closed, we don't know what's going on inside."

The prince closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, "Now, we can only wait."

The prince went out, and the princess was helped up by the palace maid. Zhang Jia turned her head and looked at her, and left without saying anything.

In the study, the prince sat behind the desk, frowning and thinking, while De Zhu looked at him, secretly worried.

military camp

Su Wei finally sent off Master Bodun who had been wandering around the fourth elder brother all day, and after returning to the tent, he looked at the fourth elder brother and muttered.

"What's the matter? What are you talking about?" Si elder brother patted the edge of the bed and asked Su Wei to sit next to him.

Su Wei lingered to the fourth elder brother's side, hesitated for a long time and said, "Master, Bo Dunzuo, the leader, must have taken a fancy to you, right?"

The fourth elder brother choked on a mouthful of herbal tea and coughed for a long time.

Su Wei patted Si Age on the back with a puzzled expression on his face. Could it be that his deduction was wrong?This has to be the rhythm of the eunuch.

The fourth elder brother who finally calmed down took a deep breath, "He just wants to take this opportunity to follow me, so that he can walk under the door of the master in the future."

"Walking under the door?" Su Wei hung his head and asked.

The fourth elder brother gave him a weak look, "Now that Galdan has been defeated, he has almost no strength to make troubles. Huang Ama let Fei Yanggu stay in Ketu, and he has the momentum to go all out. The years of turmoil in Zhungeer are about to It's coming to an end. There are more and more elder brothers in the palace, and once Zhungeer is pacified, the day will come when we leave the palace and build a mansion."

"Really?" Su Wei was excited, "Wouldn't it be convenient for me to go out and play?"

The fourth elder brother's face darkened, and he slapped Su Wei, "Just know how to play! When we have our own mansion, you have a lot of things to take care of, don't try to be as lazy as you are now!"

Su Wei frowned, and said angrily, "I can't do anything, you let Zhang Bao take care of it...I can't do anything well..."

The fourth elder brother sighed, and put his arms around Su Wei's waist, "Who said you can't do anything well? Didn't you serve the master so much?"

Su Wei was stunned, and looked up at the fourth elder brother, "That's right, you were raised by me..."

The fourth master was embarrassed for a long time, then turned around and took out a wooden box from under the bed and handed it to Su Wei, "My father asked Bodun to find this with great effort, and I will give it to you."

Su Wei was stunned for a moment, took the box and opened it, but was startled suddenly, "Gun!"

"Hush," the fourth elder brother made a gesture, and took out a pocket gun from the box, "This gun has a shorter barrel than a shotgun, and its range is shorter. It is not very powerful, but it is also self-fired. It’s in my collection, I spent a lot of money to get Bodun to buy it.”

Su Wei took the gun and padded it. It was very heavy. In fact, this gun was just a shortened version of a self-fired musket. It was much longer than modern pistols, but it was indeed easier to carry than ordinary muskets.

The fourth elder brother hugged Su Wei's waist, "Don't you know how to shoot a gun, this one is left for your self-defense, and you will take it with you when you go out."

Su Wei looked at the fourth elder brother, then lowered his head and touched the straight metal handle, his eyes blurred again.

Royal Palace

In the middle of the night, a black shadow narrowly avoided the patrolling guards and climbed into the wall of Zhongcui Palace.

Tao'er was sitting in the corner of the room with her knees hugged, and Hesheli was lying on the bed, unable to even hear her breathing.Since their young master fell ill, the imperial physician came twice, saying that she had an epidemic and needed to be quarantined.Later, Yanxi Palace sent people to send away all the servants, leaving only her.

Except for the people who came to deliver meals from time to time, Tao'er never saw anyone else.The little master fell ill and vomited blood, she knocked desperately on the gate of Zhongcui Palace, cried and shouted all day, but no one came to answer her.

Suddenly, there was a strange noise at the door, Tao'er was startled, looked at Hesheli on the bed, and stood up tremblingly.

The door was slowly pushed open, Tao'er covered her mouth in astonishment, watching a person who was completely dark came in.
