[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

The fourth elder brother's face immediately sank, and Su Peisheng was shocked by the fourth elder brother's cold face.

He hurriedly said: "My lord, it is said that the fourteenth elder brother brought back [-] soldiers instead of [-]. What do you think we should do?"

Su Peisheng glanced into the room again, "Should you tell the emperor about such a big matter?"

The fourteenth elder brother led his troops back to Beijing without being summoned. This is tantamount to treason!

The fourth elder brother rubbed his forehead, only to feel a splitting headache.What evil did he do in his previous life to have such a younger brother in this life?

"This matter must be concealed, and the emperor must not be told!"

The emperor can't last a few days, let him know this, wouldn't he die of anger on the spot.

The fourth elder brother said with a sullen face: "Go and invite all the great scholars, and then call Kang Bao Xiaobao."

This matter must be kept from the emperor, but not everyone. Since the fourteenth elder brother dares to do it, he has to bear the consequences. The fourth elder brother does not want to wipe his ass.

Su Peisheng came down and went to invite someone immediately, but the fourth elder brother stopped him and asked him to wait.

"My lord, what else do you want?"

The fourth elder brother turned around twice with his hands behind his back, "When everyone is here, you don't have to wait by my side, go to Yonghe Palace for a while. You tell the empress that I will be there in a while."

Su Peisheng understood that the prince did not intend to hide it from the concubine De.He didn't dare to guess what the fourth elder brother was thinking, and went to do things immediately when he got the order.

The fourth elder brother called the ministers to discuss the countermeasures. Everyone was shocked to know that the fourteenth elder brother led the troops back to Beijing privately. This master is really desperate for the throne.

The fourth elder brother dispatched troops to intercept the fourteenth elder brother. This matter must be done meticulously, and no information should be leaked.Brother Fourteen had a good timing. If he was able to return to Beijing at this time, someone must have passed the news to him.

Kang Bao proposed to send someone to persuade the Fourteenth Brother. The Fourteenth Brother brought his troops back just to catch the people in the capital by surprise. Now they have realized in advance that the Fourteenth Brother's plan will be difficult to carry out.

Of course, he can also fight to the death. Unfortunately, whether it is military strength or people's hearts, it is obvious that the fourth elder brother has the upper hand, and his chance of success is not great.

Kang Bao pondered over the behavior style of this dear uncle. He is ambitious and capable, but he has a bad point. He likes to speculate.

When the eighth elder brother was liked by the emperor, he clings to the eighth elder brother, and after the fourth elder brother is made the prince, he hangs around with his own brother again.He seldom creates chances, but prefers to miss them.If there is no danger, he will go up, if there is danger, he will retreat.

Kang Bao felt that as long as he sent out a suitable lobbyist, and Brother Fourteen was so good at weighing things up, he would definitely give up quickly and find a suitable rhetoric for himself to whitewash the peace.

Of course, the soldiers who should be transferred still have to be transferred, not only the fourteenth elder brother needs to be deterred by force, but the capital also needs to strengthen control so that no one can take advantage of the troubled waters.

A minister asked the fourth elder brother, what should the fourteenth elder brother do with him after he returns to Beijing?

The fourth elder brother thought for a while and said: "If the fourteenth elder brother realizes his return after going astray, I won't pursue it too much. If he persists in his obsession, our brotherhood can be severed..."

Everyone discussed the countermeasures and acted separately, and the fourth elder brother went to Yonghe Palace.

Su Peisheng made arrangements in advance, and the people in the harem had already avoided.When the fourth elder brother arrived at the Yonghe Palace, there were only Defei and Shuwan there.

Concubine De sighed at the first sight of her son, "Why are you so haggard? You shouldn't have come at this time, and everyone inside and outside the palace is staring at you!"

Shuwan persuaded: "Emiang thinks too much, this is your own son, he will please you, who can pick the wrong one?"

The fourth elder brother frowned, with a big pimple growing between his brows.

"Mother, something happened..."

Seeing him like this, Concubine De had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"What's wrong? Who's wrong?"

The fourth elder brother sighed: "The old fourteenth came back from the northwest, and he has already gone halfway, and he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses with him."

Concubine De is not an idiot, she immediately understood what Si Prince meant.

The emperor just issued an order to summon the fourteenth elder brother back to the capital, and he hasn't grown wings yet, why did he get halfway so quickly?He still has soldiers and horses, what does he want to do?

Concubine De asked hoarsely: "Is this news true?"

"It's true, I've sent someone to stop it."

Concubine De's legs gave way, but fortunately Shuwan supported her, otherwise Concubine De would have to kneel on the ground.

"How could this be? How could this be?" Concubine De murmured.

The fourth elder brother hurried forward, and together with Shuwan helped Concubine De to lie down on the couch.

Shuwan complained that the fourth elder brother was fast-talking, "What's the matter with you? You should talk to Er Niang slowly about such a big matter!"

The fourth elder brother quickly admitted his mistake, "I was reckless."

Concubine De collected herself and waved her hands slowly, "Don't blame fourth child, if you want to blame it, blame fourteen for being confused, why did I have such a wicked disorder!"

Concubine De cried bitterly while covering her face, Si elder brother and Shuwan had never seen her in such a mess.

Shuwan didn't know how to persuade her, so she could only pat her on the back and let Concubine De vent.

Concubine De cried and said: "How dare he, this villain! I raised such an unfaithful and unfilial thing, what face do I have to meet the emperor! He doesn't care about the emperor, he doesn't care about me, he doesn't even care about the wives and children in the capital!" , is he still a human being?"

Fourteenth Fujin and the children are still in the capital, if the fourth elder brother is cold-blooded and takes them as hostages, what will the fourteenth elder brother do?Before he sent troops, he never considered the safety of his wife and children.

Concubine De cried for a while, then raised her head and asked Si elder brother, "How are you going to deal with your younger brother?"

The fourth elder brother was silent, and Concubine De asked how to deal with 'brother', so it can be seen that she wanted the fourth elder brother to let the fourteenth elder brother go.

Concubine De is partial to her younger son, she knows that the emperor doesn't have the energy to take care of the affairs of the court, and the fourth elder brother is the heir appointed by the emperor, so he can help the fourteenth elder brother to cover it up.

The fourth elder brother didn't speak, and Concubine De looked at Shuwan.

Shuwan hurriedly looked away, pretending not to see Concubine De's eyes asking for help.

Neither the son nor the daughter-in-law dared to pick on each other, Concubine De had no choice but to take the initiative to intercede for the youngest son.

"Fourth, Er Niang has given birth to several children, only you, Lao Fourteen and your sister are left. Er Niang begs you, please spare your brother! When he comes back, I will definitely punish him severely!"

The fourth elder brother glanced at Shuwan casually, and Shuwan probably guessed what he meant, so she quickly said something to Concubine De.

"Er Niang, don't say that, the fourteenth brother is leading the soldiers! Who will have the last laugh, this matter is still uncertain." Shuwan sighed melancholy, "Maybe the fourteenth brother will lead the soldiers into Beijing in the future." , we are prisoners..."

Concubine De hurriedly interrupted her, "Nonsense! The fourth child is the crown prince appointed by the emperor, and it is written in black and white in the imperial edict! The fourth child is also a traitor when he leads troops into Beijing. I am the first one not to agree! "

Hearing this, Shuwan and the fourth elder brother felt much more comfortable, but fortunately, Concubine De is not partial to her home.

The fourth elder brother said: "I didn't dare to tell Huang Ama about the old fourteenth, and I don't want the old fourteen to have an accident."

Concubine De sighed, "After all, Er Niang is biased. I'm sorry. I know this is embarrassing for you. Just like Shuwan said, if the old fourteen succeeds, your family will die."

Concubine De wiped away her tears, "Forget it, forget it, do whatever you want! Just pretend I never gave birth to this son!"

The fourth elder brother hurriedly said: "It's not easy for Er Niang to give birth to us, and I don't want to make Er Niang sad. I will try my best to cover up this matter for my fourteenth brother. As for whether I can cover it up, it depends on the attitude of my fourteenth brother. If he is willing I can still find excuses for him to leave the army and go to Beijing alone, but if he persists in his obsession, there is nothing I can do."

Concubine De hurriedly said: "I'll write a letter right away, and you send someone to send it to Old Fourteen. He doesn't listen to others, he has to listen to me, my mother."

Concubine De asked Shuwan to grind ink and lay paper, she struggled to sit up, and wrote a letter on the kang table.She handed the letter to the fourth elder brother, clutching her son's wrist and pleading earnestly.

"You send a smart and sensible person to deliver the letter, and you must bring the old fourteen back."

The fourth elder brother agreed casually, and Concubine De waved her hand, asking Shuwan to send the fourth elder brother away.

"Fourth is busy these days. You and your wife haven't seen each other for a long time, right? Shuwan will go see him off and say something considerate to him."

Shuwan said: "Emiang, we old couples, how can we have any personal words?"

Concubine De smiled wearily, "Okay, I didn't say anything personally, I just want to take a break, you guys go out!"

Shuwan helped Concubine De to lie down and covered her with a thin quilt.She and the fourth elder brother left the palace lightly and waited until they left the Yonghe Palace before they spoke.

"Did you tell Erniang about Brother Fourteen on purpose?" Shuwan sighed, "This harem is like a cage, as long as you men don't open your mouth, the women in the harem will be deaf and blind."

The fourth elder brother nodded, "I did it on purpose. As long as the old fourteenth returns to Beijing alone, I didn't intend to punish him severely. For one thing, the emperor is seriously ill. If there is news that his son is impatient to rebel, the royal family will be ridiculed .Secondly, the old fourteenth is my real brother after all, I have to take care of the brotherhood, being too strict with him will hinder my reputation."

The fourth elder brother sighed, "After all, it's all about saving face."

But he had to save face, even if he wanted to tear his face apart, the ministers below would stop him, and everyone had to maintain the dignity of the royal family.

Shuwan said: "You have to be very careful, if the fourteenth elder brother risked everything and wanted to fight, it would be troublesome. Also, if you let him go now, what will happen in the future? Don't Tell me, you still have to give him an official position and let him sing against you in the court."

In order to please Concubine De, being a good brother is not the way to do it.

The fourth elder brother said coldly: "Don't worry! I won't! When he comes back, I can provide him with food and drink."

Shuwan thought, this is more or less the same.

"You go to the front! I should go back too! Recently, Er Niang has been worrying too much, and her body is not very comfortable. I have to stay with her."

The fourth elder brother nodded, took Shuwan's hand and shook it, "Go back! You should also pay attention to your body!"

The two said goodbye reluctantly, Shuwan turned around and just took two steps when she heard the sound of hurried running.

"My lord, my lord! Something is wrong, you should go and see the emperor! The emperor may... the emperor may be in trouble!"

The fourth elder brother and Shuwan turned pale in shock, and Shuwan said in a panic, "I, I, I will go too!"

The fourth elder brother held her down, "Don't go, go back and inform Er Niang, and then come with Er Niang!"

The fourth elder brother ordered the eunuch again, "Don't panic, don't make a mess, go and inform the palace masters, let them all go to the emperor!"
