A Chronicle of the Growth of the General Manager in the Qing Dynasty

Speaking of which, since Nalan Fusen passed away due to injury, the court has finally calmed down. The current large number of officials are almost all single-handedly promoted by the fourth master, so when carrying out orders in all aspects, they are always It's very effective. Although there are unavoidable rumors about the fourth master's murder of heroes in private, most people can still see the situation clearly.

In the eighth year of Yongzheng, Prince Yi became seriously ill. Fourth master was worried about his health, and he was also worried all day long. He frequently sent imperial doctors to treat him. Su Wen couldn't remember when Prince Yi died, but There was probably some ominous premonition in my heart, but fortunately, because the fourth master was worried about Prince Yi's health, he didn't use him excessively like in history, and also entrusted most of the official duties to Prince Lian, so this It can be regarded as indirectly saving Prince Yi's life. Later, Prince Yi finally passed the test of life and death, and his life is no longer in danger. After hearing the news, Su Wen couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. His impression of Prince Yi has always been It's very good. Apart from his views as a modern person, he has been by Fourth Master's side for so many years, and he has indeed seen the ability of Prince Yi. He is indeed an indispensable arm of Fourth Master.

Fourth Master also felt relieved. Among his many brothers, only Thirteen was the one who could really talk and trust. If Thirteen really failed this time due to overwork, he would definitely complain secretly My own, fortunately, has been cured now, it seems that Shisan will have to rest more in the future.

Just when the fourth master was distracted, Su Wen brought over a batch of memorials again. When Su Wen was sorting out these memorials, he had reorganized them and put them together specially, because the dozen or so memorials were all Regarding the issue of establishing a crown prince, the main idea is to hope that the fourth master can establish a crown prince and stabilize the court.

In fact, from Su Wen's point of view, these people are also not sober. The current emperor is still alive and well, so he started to actively set up a reserve. When he grows up, once the reserve is established, it is very likely to affect the interests and status of the fourth master, the emperor. This is not a child's play.

Sure enough, after the fourth master read a few notebooks in a row, his complexion darkened, and he only glanced at the rest casually, and then put them aside. After a long time, he waited for the fourth master to correct the other notebooks After it was over, he threw the batch of papers for requesting the establishment of a reserve on the table.

The fourth master stood up and walked back and forth. He feels very uncomfortable now. He has only been on the throne for seven or eight years. These ministers can't wait any longer and start to interfere with the establishment of the crown prince. Really... Thinking of this, The fourth master also began to think about his sons involuntarily. In fact, he knew in his heart that in order to stabilize the court, it is best to establish a prince in advance. Although he is still very confident in his sons, he does not I can guarantee that they will not be influenced by some villain's words and the brothers will turn against each other.

In the heart of the fourth master, Honghui is the best candidate for the crown prince. Honghui has been trained by him as an heir since he was a child, and he has always taught him strictly. Sure enough, Honghui did not let himself down in the end, and gradually grew up. Hongshi, he has always been on good terms with Honghui, and it would be good to be a virtuous king in the future, and Hongzhou, thinking of Hongzhou, fourth master has a headache, and I don't know how this Hongzhou got his temper, when he was young, Although he is naughty, he is still very stylish. He is good at reading and doing things, but now that he is getting older, his actions are becoming more and more disorganized, and he just lives absurdly every day, especially when he is married to Fujin. After that, I lost interest in the affairs of the court, and I was in a daze all day long.

Although the fourth master, as the emperor, doesn't like his sons who value power so much, but when he sees this son who doesn't value power so much, he still hates iron for being weak in his heart. Finally, fourth master thought of Hongli. In fact, he carefully He said that Hongli was the only prince from a rich Manchurian family. He was also very smart since he was a child, and he was also outstanding in poetry, but he was flawed in his handling of affairs. The impression of this son is not very good.

Su Wen and Su Peisheng just stood on one side and watched the fourth master walking back and forth. They felt a little dizzy at the end. Su Wen hurriedly lowered his head to look at the ground, and then he regained his senses. After a while, the fourth master suddenly Taking out an imperial decree from a box, Su Wen and Su Peisheng saw Fourth Master's careful look, and understood that this matter was of great importance, even though they were very trustworthy, they had to avoid it, and the two quickly stepped back , stay away from fourth master.

The fourth master glanced at them from the corner of his eye and was very satisfied, so he picked up a brush and wrote down the candidates for the crown prince on this decree, then took another two imperial decrees, and re-wrote the candidates in other languages, and finally Only then carefully put away these three imperial edicts.

On the morning of the second day, all the ministers saw that the fourth master had not mentioned the matter of the establishment of the reserve, so they stepped forward to talk about it again. After the ministers below finished a long list of opinions, the fourth master said: "I deeply I feel that the matter of establishing a reserve is of great importance, and if one is not careful, it may lead to instability in the government, so I came up with a way to establish a reserve..."

The fourth master paused here intentionally, and the ministers listened intently, but Su Wen also noticed that the elder brothers below were also nervous. Hong Hui was better, after all, he was older and had more experience. Although he was excited, he just clenched his fists tightly and suppressed his thoughts, and Hong Shi was really good with Hong Hui, he always looked at his elder brother with a smile on his face, while Hong Zhou still acted foolishly. It's just that the eyes will look at other people inadvertently, but Hongli looks very excited, looking at the fourth master with bright eyes, Su Wen sighs in his heart, if the history has not changed, then the crown prince will appoint Hongli Yes, Honghui survived only because of him, so there is no matter about Hongli. Thinking about it, Su Wen actually feels a little guilty about Hongli, but this guilt only needs to be thought of those things in the late Qianlong period. It was gone in no time.

When everyone was paying attention, the fourth master said slowly: "I have thought about it for a long time, and wrote down the purpose of establishing a reserve..." Then Su Peisheng brought out a box, which was also yellow and relatively long, and then Su Peisheng put it The box was opened, and the fourth master said again: "The imperial decree in this box is the last edict written by me, and the scroll of "Summer Rafting Poems" written by my imperial pen is placed in the box and placed behind the plaque of 'Uprightness and Brightness' in the Qianqing Palace." After a hundred years, you can take it out of the box and read it out. Then it will be hidden in the inner palace with a secret decree, and it will be ready for verification when the time comes."

Only then did the ministers understand Fourth Master's intentions. Seeing Su Peisheng personally place the imperial decree, they could only calm down. The expressions of the other princes were very expressive, and they didn't know how to describe it. It's really tantalizing, even Hong Hui, who has always been calm, has no idea.

After placing the imperial decree, it didn't take long for it to go down. Jiu Beile looked at Hong Hui gloatingly and said, "Hey, I said that the emperor really knows how to think. Isn't this hanging on your mind?"

Prince Lian and Prince Dun Jun also smiled, and Honghui cupped his hands and said: "Uncle Nine is serious, my nephew thinks Huang Ama's move is very appropriate, the matter of setting up the crown prince is very important, it is best to be careful, nephews just need to concentrate Just do it."

Watching Hong Hui take Hong Shi and the others away, Jiu Bei Le sighed: "By the way, I admire the ability of the emperor's son, look at Hong Hui, how calm he is, even Hong Zhou is used to pretending The master of pigs eating tigers, how do you think the emperor taught it, could it be that the sneering words every day can be deterred?"

Elder Fourteen nodded and said, "This should be learned."

Jiu Bei Le looked at Fourteen, and said: "Don't say it, I really want to learn, my gang of brats fought to the death for the position of the son, it can be seen that there is a big difference..."

Prince Lian shook his head and did not speak. He has only one son, Hongwang, so there is really no need to worry about these things. Anyway, Prince Lian’s mansion will be Hongwang sooner or later. It seems that having fewer children is somewhat beneficial, at least There are no private matters of fighting for power and profit in private.

================================================== ============================

The matter of setting up the reserve was finally solved by a new method created by the fourth master. Even Su Wen felt that the fourth master played it very beautifully, fast, ruthless and accurate. At least now it seems that it is better than Kangxi's method at that time. much better.

The weather in August was very hot. Fourth Master was sitting in the Qing Palace, correcting memorials. Su Wen stood aside, fanning Fourth Master with a small fan. He was also sweating a lot on his head. The capital city is also very hot, but for some reason today, it is extremely sweltering, Fourth Master only felt that his heart and mouth were not very comfortable, so he put down his booklet and leaned on the soft couch after a while.

Su Peisheng happened to bring sour plum soup, fourth master drank a few sips, saw the unstoppable sweat on Su Wen's head, handed it to him and said, "Seeing that you are so hot, drink a few sips quickly to cool off the heat."

Su Wen was so hot right now that he didn't have time to care about these rules, so he took a few sips after bringing it over, and the fourth master took the fan and slapped him a few times, and Su Wen felt that he was alive again come over.

At this moment, there was a sudden violent storm outside, and the rain fell fast and heavily. Su Wen went to the door to take a look. The weather in this summer is really capricious, and it was so hot just a moment ago that it made people die. , The next moment, the heavy rain came down.

The arrival of the heavy rain relieved the sweltering situation to some extent. Just when they were blowing the cool breeze and almost fell asleep, they suddenly felt the ground shaking, first the teacups on the table, then the chairs, Su Wen immediately reacted , hurriedly pulled the fourth master up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, run quickly, this is an earthquake!"

Su Peisheng was the first to understand Su Wen's meaning. At this time, Fourth Master's drowsiness disappeared, and the three of them hurried outside, but this time the earthquake was very fast and severe, and the ground shook violently, because Due to the heavy rain, the doors and windows were closed. When Su Wen went to open the door, he couldn't stand up. He fell down many times in a row. The last time he fell on a piece of broken porcelain. pain.

At this time, the fourth master also discovered the problem, and hurriedly picked up Su Wen. Su Peisheng had already opened the door forcefully, and the three of them stumbled out. Fortunately, the building of Qianqing Palace was still of good quality, at least it did not collapse. Fourth master now The most anxious thing was Su Wen's wound. After being carried out, he hurriedly rolled up Su Wen's pants, and then he was relieved. The injury was not serious, but several pieces of porcelain were stabbed on his leg.

Seeing the blood on Su Wen's white leg, the fourth master felt very distressed, but he was still the emperor after all, he had to stabilize the affairs of the palace first, and hurriedly issued orders, other people also escaped one after another, The earthquake didn't last very long. After it gradually stabilized, the fourth master was worried about Su Wen's wound, but now there was no time to tell the imperial physician, so he personally picked out the fragments for Su Wen, and used his own towel to clean it. First bandage up Su Wen.

Su Wen was very touched at the moment. An emperor could still remember himself in such a critical moment, and even knelt down to bandage his own wound. This was a great sacrifice. Su Wen looked at the serious expression of Fourth Master For the first time, I feel that the current fourth master is also very cute, worthy of my liking.

It was a very warm scene on their side, but they didn't expect to be seen by others. The other people were Nala and Niu Hulu. The two of them happened to be talking together. After the earthquake, they hurriedly fled After coming out, as the empress, Nala was most worried about the fourth master, the emperor, so she took Niu Hulu to the Qianqing Palace to look for the fourth master, but unexpectedly saw the fourth master bandaging Su Wen's wound with his own hands.

When Niu Hulu saw it, she was actually not too surprised. Ever since she accidentally noticed the way Fourth Master looked at Su Wen that time, although she kept overturning those messy thoughts in her heart, It's just that I still remembered it after all. Looking at it today, I affirmed my opinion even more in my heart.

As a time traveler, although her thinking is also at the forefront of the times, in modern times, because she has read many novels in this area, she is more tolerant of those men and women, but the world is hard to determine. Well, if this kind of thing happened to other people, Niu Hulu would be very excited and even bless her, but now one of them is her husband, no matter how open Niu Hulu is, it is impossible for her to remain indifferent.

Although she is only a concubine when she marries the fourth master, and she seldom gets the favor of the fourth master, but this cannot change the fact that the fourth master is her husband. Niu Hulu looked at Su Wen carefully, this Su Wen It seems that she was serving the fourth master before she entered the mansion, and she really didn't pay much attention to it before. After all, in her cognition, Su Peisheng was the famous eunuch around Yongzheng in history, but now something is wrong.

This Su Wen is also very old, he has a baby face, and his cheeks are fleshy, making him look much younger. Is this the fourth master's aesthetics?The most important thing is, this Su Wen is an eunuch, how could Fourth Master have a relationship with an eunuch?

On Niu Hulu's side, resentment and doubts coexisted, while Nala's heart trembled. Nala didn't come here in vain for so many years, and soon knew that Si Ye was really moved this time, but Nala and Niu Hulu think differently. As a traditional ancient woman, Nala doesn't have much feeling about who her husband likes. After all, she is too old now and doesn't have the energy to care These sons and daughters love each other, as long as their status is stable, it will be fine for their sons to be promising.

What Nala is worried about is the fourth master's reputation and the country and the country. An emperor who has an affair with eunuchs, no matter how great and wise he is, will be a stigma in the history books, which cannot be erased. If this kind of thing is spread, it will be a big joke for the people of the world, and it will discredit the entire royal family.

Nala stabilized her mind, walked over, helped the fourth master and said with a worried face: "Your Majesty, fortunately, you are fine, I am really worried." After speaking, he said to Su Wen: "Su Wen, right, this time it’s really thanks to you for saving the emperor once, and I will remember your contribution.”

Just when Su Wen was a little dazed, Nala said to Fourth Master again: "Your Majesty, you are a man of gold, even if this servant sacrificed his life to save you, you don't have to do it yourself, there is no need to lower yourself I just let Su Peisheng take care of you, you are the master of the world now, so don't be careless!"

The fourth master heard the last sentence in Nala's words, and understood what she meant, and felt a little annoyed at himself, why didn't he hold on just now, if the news got out, Su Wen's life would be in danger , fourth master looked around, fortunately, no one paid attention.

Only after seeing Niu Hulu, the fourth master's eyes paused for a while, and then he turned his head and said to Su Peisheng: "Su Peisheng, take Su Wen to have a rest, just sit in the open space, look like this, maybe in a while There will be earthquakes."

Su Peisheng hurriedly supported Su Wen to the other side. The fourth master rarely gave the queen a guilty look. Nala did not look at the fourth master. She is also very complicated now. She just heard that the fourth master asked Su Peisheng so cautiously, No matter how much Nala doesn't fight for favor, he still feels uncomfortable in his heart.

She has been with the fourth master for so many years, and gradually understands that in the fourth master's heart, there is only Jiangshan, and there is no personal relationship with his children. Although she is disappointed, she is also proud. After all, her position is firm, but also There is no need to worry that Fourth Master will be fascinated by some vixen, but today he did not expect that Fourth Master was actually tempted. Although the object of his temptation is absurd, it has no effect on the status of himself and his son. After all, I am still a woman, and seeing my husband caring so much for another person is a bit uncomfortable.

While the fourth master was annoyed by his behavior, he was also thinking about Su Wen's situation. Now it is obvious that the queen and the Niu Hulu clan know about it. He doesn't have that kind of affection for the queen, but he respects and trusts the queen very much. In fact, in the heart of the fourth master, although Su Wen is very important, it is really difficult to compare with the queen. After all, it has been a couple's relationship for so many years, and it can't be erased no matter what.

Seeing the Niu Hulu family on the other side, the fourth master had a headache. He was doubting the origin of the Niu Hulu family, and now it was even more troublesome when Su Wen was involved, and he also noticed that Niu Hulu Lu Shi looked at Su Wen with complicated and resentful eyes, it seems that he has to deal with this matter properly...
