[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

Ninth elder brother hurried to discuss with tenth elder brother, and tenth elder brother learned that eighth elder brother was imprisoned, so anxious that he got angry and had a toothache.He wished he could rush into the palace immediately and question the emperor, asking him why he locked up the eighth elder brother.

Brother Nine scolded him irrespective of severity, the emperor has made an order, who would dare to disobey it?They are not considered to be favored, and they will only be scolded when they go to the palace to question the emperor, and they can ask a fart.At the moment, it is time to quickly pack up the things and silver and send them to the eighth elder brother's house. One is to reassure the eighth elder brother that he will not cut off the supply. The second is to let the officers and soldiers guarding the eighth elder brother know that the eighth elder brother has fallen And they back it up!

The biggest advantage of Elder Brother Ten is that he is obedient. He asked the manager to pack his things and load them into the car.He also ordered people to prepare horses, and he took the ninth elder brother to the eighth elder brother's mansion together.

The Eighth Prince's mansion was surrounded like an iron barrel, and the three floors inside and outside were filled with officers and soldiers.

The tenth elder brother swaggered to the main entrance of the mansion with rice, noodles, grains and oil. The arrogant ninth elder brother dismounted and stood outside the crowd waiting for him.

The officers and soldiers guarding the gate hurriedly saluted and said hello, "Greetings to Elder Brother Ten."

Elder Brother Shi waved his hand, "I have a wink, I know who I am. Get out of the way! I want to go in and deliver something!"

"Brother Ten, please forgive me. The emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave the Manor of Eighth Prince."

The tenth elder brother scolded: "Stupid thing! Who are eighth elder brother and I? We are princes! Who is the emperor, that is our own father! Can there be an overnight feud between my son and my son? The emperor was just annoyed for a while. It dissipated within a few days.

What happened if I came to give something to my brother?The emperor knows that he has to praise me for caring for my brother!Get out of the way!I want to go in! "

Officers and soldiers are not so easy to fool, he does not recognize anything but the emperor's imperial decree.

He repeated again: "Brother Shi, please forgive me, you can't enter without an imperial decree!"

If you have tried hard, it will not work. Elder Brother Shi stepped forward and stuffed a bag of silver into the hands of the officers and soldiers.

"Don't be so rigid! Be more tactful, take the money and take the brothers to drink. I'll go in and stay for a while, and I'll leave after delivering the things."

The officers and soldiers stuffed the silver back, like a dummy, just kept repeating, "Forgive me, brother ten, you can't enter without an imperial edict."

Elder Brother Ten gritted his teeth, choked with anger by this officer.

Brother Nine shouted from afar, "If you can keep your things, don't worry about it."

The emperor just issued an order to lock up the eighth elder brother. Now is the time to be strict. In three to five months, the officers and soldiers guarding him will be slack. By then, we should be able to relax a bit, and maybe we can communicate.

Elder Brother Ten certainly understands this truth, he just won't be reconciled if he doesn't try.

Brother Ten asked the officers and soldiers guarding, "If I don't go in, things can always be sent in!"

The officers and soldiers nodded, "After the inspection, if there is no problem, you can send it in."

Elder Brother Shi waved his hand, "Quickly check! Be careful when checking, I will peel your skin if you are missing a star or a half!"

The officers and soldiers carefully checked the items on the vehicle, and when they saw that they were all daily necessities, they sent everything in.

Elder Brother Shi did not take back the bag of silver. He asked the officers and soldiers guarding the gate to divide up the money, and asked them to take care of him in the eighth elder brother's mansion and inform him in time if there was anything wrong.

After stuffing the money, Elder Brother Ten sighed.

Thinking about it, it's really pitiful, a dignified prince with a noble status, once he falls out of favor, he has to spend money to manage the officers and soldiers, entrusting them to take care of him.

The matter of the eighth elder brother being imprisoned made a lot of noise. Some old officials asked the emperor to give an explanation, but the emperor did not give a clear explanation. He severely punished several ministers, saying that they were the eighth elder brother's party.

Since then, no one dared to question the emperor's decision to imprison the eighth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother secretly sent someone to investigate the reason why the eighth elder brother was suddenly imprisoned. Recently, the eighth elder brother has been very peaceful, and there is nothing suspicious about his whereabouts.

The fourth elder brother thought it over and over again, only the fact that the eighth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother met in private was worthy of the emperor's anger.

Shuwan used people from the Northwest Workshop to let them watch Brother Fourteen's every move to see how Brother Fourteen reacted when Brother Eighth was imprisoned.It would be even better if two people could be placed beside Brother Fourteen.

After Eighth Prince was banned, he seemed to have become a taboo.Unless it is unavoidable, no one dares to mention him, especially in front of the emperor.

People in the Eighth Prince’s Mansion were in a state of panic. Those with connections and money were transferred back to the House of Internal Affairs, and then sent elsewhere. Those without connections and money could only spend time in the Eighth Prince’s Mansion, and complained when they were working. .

Looking at the chaos in the mansion, the eighth elder brother thought of the past.

When he was in good times, the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs wanted to sharpen their heads and get in. Now that he is down, these servants want to turn over and become the master to dominate him.

The huge gap made Eighth Brother feel resentment in his heart. His dissatisfaction with the emperor had accumulated for a long time. When the emperor repeatedly scolded him for being unworthy of the stage and insulted his mother-in-law as Xin Zheku's bitch, he didn't want to bear it anymore.

Looking at the things that the tenth elder brother sent, the eighth elder brother made up his mind that he would never accept his fate like this.

After the eighth elder brother was locked up, the emperor sent an imperial physician to examine the fourth elder brother's pulse. The imperial doctor said that the fourth elder brother was back to health, so the emperor ordered the fourth elder brother to go back to work and ended his vacation.

Back in the court hall, the fourth elder brother found that the emperor's temper became stronger and it became more difficult to serve him.Sometimes he would be scolded by the emperor if he had an itchy throat and coughed twice.

The fourth elder brother went home and learned from Shuwan, which made Shuwan very angry.

She randomly gave advice to the fourth elder brother, "What are you waiting for! Break it! If he scolds you, you just do it, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, he can scold whatever he likes. You can let him scold you at ease, but don't change it." Didn’t he forbid you to cough? You apologize quickly, and after admitting your mistake, cough up the blood and spit it on the book in front of him!”

The fourth elder brother: "Just cough up blood, but you don't have to work so hard..."

The fourth elder brother didn't want to talk about the unhappy things that happened in the palace, so he asked Shuwan.

"What's going on in the next door?"

Shuwan said: "What else can I do? I'm locked up! The tenth elder brother comes to deliver things every three or two days. The eighth elder brother is lucky to have two solid-eyed brothers to take care of him.

I watched coldly, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate were impatient. Although they were still patrolling on time, they seemed to be much more slack.In the past, Elder Brother Ten had to leave after leaving his things behind, but now he can talk to the slaves in the mansion through the door, and the officers and soldiers are not as careful as they used to be when checking things. "

The fourth elder brother said: "It's not a good job to guard the imprisoned prince. The whole day is wasted outside the wall, and there is a lot of wind and sun and rain. The days are long and you can't accumulate merits. Who wants to do this! Those It is normal for officers and soldiers to slack off, and those who don’t slack off are either stubborn or have received benefits.”

Shuwan suddenly remembered something, "A doctor came into the next door today, it seems that the eighth elder brother is sick. I'm afraid we are too conspicuous, so I dare not send someone to inquire carefully."

The fourth elder brother thought for a while and said: "I'll go to Lao Jiu and ask, he and Lao Ten must know."

Shuwan persuaded: "You don't need to ask! It's normal for the eighth brother to be sick. After suffering such a big blow, it's not normal if he isn't sick!"

The fourth elder brother said: "Who cares about his body? What I care about is whether he is really sick or pretending to be sick. Using a doctor to deliver news is the most common trick. The old man is not a person who gives up lightly. I have to see what he has. trick."

Shuwan couldn't understand, "What other tricks can he have? Look at the elder brother and the second elder brother, after being imprisoned, what else can they do? The elder brother is bored in the mansion every day and has a baby with the concubine, and the second elder brother is bored in the house every day. Elder brother is even more difficult, the palace is full of the emperor's eyeliner, and the emperor knows when he hiccups at lunch. No matter how powerful the eighth elder brother is, he can't make a splash, and those who were waiting for him to turn around in the past should give up."

The fourth elder brother shook his head, he still minded very much, he must check it out.

The fourth elder brother went to the ninth elder brother's mansion in person. When the ninth elder brother saw him coming, he quickly ordered someone to prepare food and wine.

"It's rare for the fourth brother to come here, don't leave today, let's have a drink or two. We have newly delivered quail in our house, let them fry it, that's the best drink."

The fourth elder brother raised his hand to stop him, "Don't be too busy, I have something to ask, and I'll leave after asking."

"what's up?"

The fourth elder brother asked: "I heard that the eighth brother is sick?"

Brother Jiu pursed his lips, "Yes, he is sick, the doctor that Lao Ten invited."

"What disease? Is it serious?"

Brother Nine sighed, "I'm not seriously ill. He wanted to pass on news to Old Ten. He deliberately pretended to be dying of illness, and asked the officers and soldiers to notify Old Ten."

The fourth elder brother asked: "What did he say to Lao Ten? I don't know if it's convenient for Fang to tell me."

Ninth Brother shook his head apologetically, "Fourth Brother, I really don't know about this."

Brother Ten was going to tell Brother Nine, but Brother Nine didn't want to hear it.He knows that his position has changed now. In the past, he firmly supported Brother Ba and stood behind him forever.Now he is on good terms with the fourth elder brother and is willing to help the fourth elder brother to become a leader.

If the eighth elder brother has any plans and tells the tenth elder brother, should he tell the fourth elder brother after he finds out?

Telling the fourth elder brother, it seems that he doesn't miss the old love, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't tell him.It's better not to know anything, so that he can feel at ease.

The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "Ninth brother has a chivalrous style, you are the most affectionate person among all brothers."

The fourth elder brother appreciates the firm stand of the ninth elder brother.

"Sorry, fourth brother, I can't help you."

The fourth elder brother shook his head, the information revealed by the ninth elder brother was enough.

The eighth brother must have a backup, what he has to do now is to keep an eye on it.

Back home, the fourth elder brother and Shuwan combed the eyeliner kept in the house, making everyone stare carefully, and immediately report any changes.

The fourth elder brother didn't know what the eighth elder brother was hiding, so he could only look for a needle in a haystack and deduce clues from various subtle anomalies.

Xiao Ningzi in the palace also received the news, he put all his energy into it, and everyone he saw had to think about it to see if there was anything unusual about him.

After more than a month like this, the fourth elder brother and Shuwan were tired enough to deal with the collected news.The eyeliners who stared at everywhere also felt that the masters were making a fuss.

Everything in the capital is safe and sound, this is clearly a peaceful and prosperous world, there is nothing to stare at.
