Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 50 years

November 24th, the fasting house

The place where the fourth elder brother held his fast was at the Temple of Heaven. When you go out from the fasting palace, you can see the building of the Circular Mound within a short walk.

Su Wei accompanied the fourth elder brother to the Temple of Heaven to bathe and fast to prepare for the winter solstice, and he didn't dare to wander around casually.

Fortunately, every year, the Ministry of Rituals specially organizes the sacrifice to heaven, so there is no need for Prince Yong to bother about anything.

It's just that, at the Changchun Garden, Long Live Lord's health is getting worse and worse.

The fourth elder brother usually has the calmest and most stable personality, but now, he can't feel at ease when he sees it.

Early in the morning, Fu Nai was sent to Changchun Garden to say hello, and Su Wei entered the house with tea.

The fourth elder brother stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back. The sacrificial scriptures were placed on the table, less than half of them turned over.

"Drink some water, the winter solstice is two days away, we can go back soon."

The fourth elder brother sighed softly, and lowered his eyes slightly, "Huang Ama is seriously ill, but she refuses to let the princes accompany her. I was wondering if someone would pick up the second and eldest brothers from Beijing."

"Why do you think so?" Su Wei tilted his head and walked to Si elder brother's side, "It's been so many years, how can there be any affection between their father and son?"

"But I always feel that in Huang Ama's heart, the second brother was the heir he single-handedly cultivated, and the eldest brother is his eldest son. It is always different."

"If it's not the same, should it be closed or closed?"

Su Wei held the fourth elder brother's hand, "Long Live Lord has been the emperor for 50 years, he is no longer an ordinary father, Cheng Huan's knee may not be that important to him."

The fourth elder brother turned around and looked at Su Wei, "Does becoming an emperor really change a person?"

"Being an emperor is not good, but the chances of a person's life will. Everyone is constantly making choices, saying that it has changed, but in the end it is their own decision."

The fourth elder brother frowned and looked at the person in front of him, and suddenly asked, "Then do you believe me? Do you believe that I will not change?"

"Change is not a bad thing," Su Wei smiled, "You are not the same now as you were when you were a child."

"I won't change!" Brother Si stepped forward and embraced the person in front of him, "Believe me, I won't change!"

Su Wei raised his hand to touch the back of the fourth elder brother. The fourth elder brother hugged him so tightly that his arms would tremble slightly.

"Yinzhen, are you afraid?"

The fourth elder brother closed his eyes and did not answer, but stubbornly hugged the person in his arms tightly.

"Don't be afraid, you will be a good emperor, and you will not disappoint your Huang Ama."

Su Wei's tone was very firm. Before everything was settled, he seemed to have seen the end, but these words were not what the fourth elder brother wanted to hear the most.

"My lord," Zhang Bao's voice came from the door, "Lord Fu Nai is back."

Fu Nai entered the room, saluted and greeted him, then bowed and asked Prince Yong to step back.

The rest of the servants went out, only Su Peisheng was an exception, but Fu Nai was no longer surprised.

"My lord, the Holy Majesty asked my subordinates to pass on the word of mouth, please return to the Changchun Garden secretly immediately, and don't disturb anyone!"

The remaining two people in the room were all taken aback, and a bad premonition rose instantly.

"What happened to Huang Ama? Why did you call me back suddenly?"

Fu Nai was a little hesitant, looked carefully at Prince Yong, then lowered his head and said, "Long Live Lord, I'm afraid it will be bad... When my subordinates came out, Manager Gu specifically told people that it's best to let people think you are here at the Temple of Heaven." While fasting, and not leaving, so that people can relax their vigilance to avoid any accidents in the middle."

The fourth elder brother's face was pale, and he stood there for a while, not moving.

Su Wei stared at him, and after a while, seeing him slowing down, he tugged on his sleeve, "Calm down, you must not panic in the future."

The fourth elder brother pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were red and red, and it took him a long time to take a deep breath and said, "Take a few guards and follow me back, and the rest stay here."

"Yes," Fu Nai took the order and quickly withdrew.

The fourth elder brother turned to look at Su Wei, "You—"

"Don't worry, I'll wait for you here." Su Wei grabbed the fourth brother's sleeve and shook it gently, "If you are too sad, just cry secretly, don't hold yourself back."

"Well," the fourth elder brother nodded, pulled him into his arms again, and hugged him vigorously, "Wait for me, wait for me to pick you up!"

Changchun Garden

When the fourth elder brother arrived at the Changchun Garden, it was already dark, Liang Jiugong was waiting at the side gate, and led Prince Yong all the way to the Hall of Nine Classics and Three Things.

"Why is Huang Ama here?" The fourth elder brother was puzzled, "Shouldn't Huang Ama rest in the bedroom?"

"My lord, go in," Liang Jiugong stopped in front of the palace gate, "Long Live Lord insists on coming here, and the servants have no choice."

The fourth elder brother turned his head to look at the gate of the Hall of Nine Classics and Three Things. The inside of the gate was dark and there were no lights on. Perhaps he was afraid of people's attention. The slaves along the way were probably sent away by Liang Jiugong.

The Hall of Nine Classics and Three Events is the main hall of Changchun Garden. It is the place where the Holy Majesty stayed in the Changchun Garden. Its status is detached, comparable to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the Palace of Qianqing in the Forbidden City.

The fourth elder brother stepped into the door and stood there for a while before getting used to the darkness in the hall.In the blurred shadows, a person was sitting on the high dragon chair.

The fourth elder brother hesitated, but still walked over step by step, "Huang Ama? My son joins Huang Ama."

"Yinzhen……"

Emperor Kangxi's voice didn't seem to have changed, it was just slightly hoarse, "Come up..."

The fourth elder brother was taken aback, looked at the jade steps in front of him, then looked up at the person on the dragon chair, "Huang Ama?"

"Come up!"

Master Kangxi's voice became a little harsher, the fourth elder brother hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his leg...

After stepping up to the last few steps of the dragon chair, the fourth elder brother stopped in his tracks.

At this moment, he could clearly see the person on the dragon chair. His overly thin body was leaning against the side of the dragon chair, with one hand wrapped around the stiff dragon head. It seemed that only in this way could he barely support himself.

"Huang Ama, you are not in good health, you really shouldn't—"

"Come here," the person on the dragon chair stretched out a hand to Brother Si.

The fourth prince stepped forward hesitantly, and held the somewhat withered hand.

"sit down……"

"Huang Ama!" The fourth elder brother took a step back abruptly.

"Huang Ama, my son dare not!"

"What's not to dare?"

Lord Kangxi put down his hand, smiled suddenly, and patted the empty seat beside him, "Don't you children all look forward to being able to sit here one day? Now, I'm finally going to abdicate to give way to the virtuous."

"Huang Ama, you are just sick..."

"Stop coaxing me." Master Kangxi hugged the faucet, turned around, and exhaled impatiently, "I've heard too many of these words in my life."

The fourth elder brother lowered his head, not daring to answer.

"50 years..."

Lord Kangxi sighed, and raised his head slightly, as if seeing the long river passing through the hazy darkness in front of him, "I still remember the first time I sat on this chair. At that time, I was the real Fear……"

"Huang Ama came to the throne when he was young, but he was able to stabilize the court and work hard to govern. He is a rare brilliant emperor in several dynasties. No matter whether it is inside or outside the court, or the people of the world, everyone is grateful."

Lord Kangxi chuckled, but there was a lot of sarcasm in his voice, "The merit is in the present, and the future is in the future..."

The fourth elder brother was surprised for a moment, wondering if he heard it wrong.

Master Kangxi turned his head to look at the fourth elder brother, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved, "When you sit in this position, one day, you will understand what I mean."

"Huang Ama..." The fourth elder brother took a step back.

"I never thought that you would be standing in front of me today," said Kangxi Master, letting go of the faucet and sitting up a little.

"However, you will be a wise king, I believe."

The fourth elder brother lowered his head slightly, and Master Kangxi looked outside the hall, "Do you know why I secretly recalled you today?"

The fourth elder brother shook his head.

"I want you to do one thing. If you do it, I will immediately issue an imperial edict to make you the crown prince! When I go away in the future, you will be the new king! No matter whether it is Yinyu or Yinhu, no one can do it." A word of criticism against you. Anyone who dares to oppose you is disloyal and filial, and he is risking the disobedience of the world."

The fourth elder brother raised his head, and Lord Kangxi continued, "But if you can't do it, I won't leave any clear orders for you. Although, I know that in the current situation, no one among the princes can compete with you. But You also need to know that without my edict, your succession will be criticized by others. After you ascend the throne, every step you take will be full of worries and difficulties!"

"You have to think about it thoroughly before answering me."

"What does Huang Ama want my son to do?" The fourth elder brother frowned slightly, "If Huang Ama has a will, just tell my son to do it."

"Hmph," Master Kangxi turned his head away, "What I asked you to do couldn't be simpler. As long as you agree, you only need one sentence."

"What's the matter?" The fourth elder brother's hand hanging by his side trembled slightly, "I also ask Huang Ama to make it clear."

"I want to let you," Lord Kangxi leaned forward while supporting the dragon chair, "Kill someone!"

into the night, the altar

Su Wei stood in front of the window, looking at the stars in the night.

Zhang Qilin walked into the house with a food box, smiled and said, "The place we are in is really inappropriate, we can't even drink if we want to, I managed to find a few edible dishes in the kitchen, let's deal with it .”

"My lord should be in Changchun Garden now? What will Lord Long Live say to him? Will there be any accidents?"

"Oh, my lord is an auspicious person with his own destiny, so don't worry about it," Zhang Qilin put the dishes on the table and started to put his chopsticks again.

"Besides, our lord has been preparing for so long, isn't today what we've been waiting for?"

"I know," Su Wei turned around and sat down on the stool by the window, "but I just couldn't help thinking about it. I was wrong, I just walked with him at that time."

"You can't leave. Once you leave, the people in the Temple of Heaven will probably guess that the prince has left soon?"

Zhang Qilin went to the window to tug on Su Wei, "Come on, although there is no wine, let's have a good meal today."

"Eunuch Su!"

A greeting suddenly sounded outside the window, and both Su Wei and Zhang Qilin inside the room were taken aback.

"There are people coming from Yuqian, please go out!"

"Why are people here at this time?" Zhang Qilin was confused.

"Let me go out and have a look." Su Wei stood up and walked out, he was afraid that there was something wrong with the fourth elder brother.

"Can not Go Out!"

Just as Su Wei walked to the door, Zhang Bao rushed in.

"It's a consulting firm, and I don't think the situation is quite right!"
