Chapter 1,232 The Ridiculous Prince and the Face-Controlled Heroine
Been busy for several days.
After the floods receded, the displaced people gradually returned home under the guidance of the government.
After finishing the imperial mission, Su Mingzhe wrote a memorial to deliver the mission according to the rules. He asked the prince to read it first to make sure it was correct, then stamped it and sent someone to deliver it to Kangxi, who had already gone to the northwest.
When everything was ready, the prince looked at the "cold-faced king" who had always respected him, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Fourth brother, I called you back with the intention of letting you have a good rest, but in the end, you were forced to work so hard. As a brother, I really feel sorry for you!"
Seeing that the prince meant what he said, Su Mingzhe also used some real emotion when he spoke:
"I will keep my second brother's concern for me in mind! However, I only traveled around for a few days, so it's nothing. When I have the opportunity in the future, my second brother will make it up to me..."
The prince understood the meaning of Su Mingzhe's words. He was implying that after he ascended the throne, he would be given titles and titles to him. He immediately couldn't help laughing and said:
"Fourth brother is my right-hand man, let alone others. When the time comes, I will never be stingy with my fourth brother!"
Looking at the unscrupulous prince, Su Mingzhe sighed inwardly, chatted for a while, and was about to find an excuse to leave when a eunuch from outside the door ran in with a panic look on his face:
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report of 800 yuan!"
"Send it up!"
The prince took the letter and read it over, frowning.
After a while, he saw Su Mingzhe lowering his eyebrows and eyes, looking indifferent. After thinking about it, he asked the chamberlain to hand over the letter:
"Fourth brother, there is news that those guys on the plateau are working together to plot a rebellion! What do you think of this?"
Su Mingzhe took the letter and read it first, then said indifferently:
"Second brother, in recent years, the weather has warmed up, the weather has been good everywhere, and food production has continued to increase. Some people's warehouses are full, they have become stronger, and their arms have gained strength, so naturally they have started to raise their tails to the sky."
"In a situation like this, I think that I only need to send a capable minister over to win over, divide, suppress, or even eliminate a group of people, so that they can know again who is the boss in this world!"
After hearing the analysis, the prince immediately nodded and agreed:
"What the fourth brother said is absolutely true, but who would be better to send?"
There were quite a lot of famous ministers during the Kangxi period.
However, famous officials such as Suo'etu, Zhou Peigong, and Yu Chenglong have all passed away, and Nalan Mingzhu, Tong Guowei, Zhang Ying, and others are now retired at home for various reasons.
Su Mingzhe thought for a moment and recommended a candidate:
"Second brother, what do you think of Zhang Tingyu, the son of Teacher Zhang Ying?"
Zhang Ying, in the 16th year of Kangxi's reign, joined Nan Shufang and served as the teacher of Prince Yinreng, Fourth Elder Brother Yinzhen and other elders.
Now Su Mingzhe recommends Zhang Ying's son Zhang Tingyu. From the prince's point of view, he is looking for an opportunity to promote one of his own.
However, the prince was a soft-tempered person who looked forward and backward. He nodded directly with intention, but was afraid that Zhang Tingyu would not do enough. After thinking for a moment, he questioned:
"Fourth brother, Zhang Tingyu is now working in Nan Study, following Emperor Ama as a fifth-grade official. Isn't it too much of a joke to ask him to take on such an important task?"
"Second brother, the plateau is so tall that anyone who is not young and strong will not be able to climb up there."
Seeing that the prince was so indecisive, Su Mingzhe had no choice but to explain:
"Among the young people, Zhang Tingyu has followed Teacher Zhang Ying for many years and has a good family background. The plateau incident has not yet broken out, so letting him go is mainly to appease... Of course, we cannot recommend Zhang Tingyu only. I suggest... …The names of several people have also been added, allowing Emperor Ama to make his own decision!"
Under the guidance of Su Mingzhe, the prince quickly wrote a memorial and ordered it to be sent to Kangxi.
Eight hundred pieces of urgent information were delivered to the camp outside the Great Wall in just a few days.
Kangxi saw the prince's memorial, and as Su Mingzhe expected, he chose the prince among several people.
I chose Zhang Tingyu.
Afterwards, Kangxi no longer had any intention of continuing to tour beyond the Great Wall, and ordered people to set off and prepare to return to Beijing.
Early July.
When the news came that Kangxi was returning to Beijing, the prince summoned the civil and military ministers in Beijing and his elder brothers to prepare to greet him.
There is no doubt that as the prince's right-hand man, Su Mingzhe has taken over all affairs.
All roads need to be paved with loess and splashed with clear water before the Emperor Luan passes by.
In addition, in order to prevent assassins from committing assassinations, all houses along the streets must be strictly inspected and monitored.
At the same time, in order to prevent danger, the nine admirals must cooperate with the imperial guards to conduct a "drill".
After struggling for several days, as news came that Emperor Kangxi was about to return to the capital, the frequency of street patrol drills was increased from once a day to four times a day.
Under such circumstances, even if someone wanted to assassinate Kangxi, they could not figure out the specific time when Kangxi would enter Beijing.
This method reached Kangxi's ears. There is no doubt that Kangxi improved his evaluation of himself, the fourth prince.
Compared to Su Mingzhe and his elder brothers who worked hard to perform, the prince is more crotch-stretching.
I don’t know what the prince thinks.
Seeing that Kangxi was coming back, everyone else pretended to be busy even if they were pretending.
Only the prince simply gave up on handling the affairs of the court and continued to fuck like crazy every day.
It seemed that after Kangxi came back, he would become an ascetic.
This day.
Su Mingzhe came to the East Palace to look for the prince and report on the street patrol. He saw Li Quanyou, the leader of the East Palace, walking towards him with a bitter look on his face and asked him to persuade the prince to take good care of his body.
After asking, Li Quanyou honestly explained: The prince drinks a bowl of deer blood and a magic medicine almost every day.
After leaving the palace, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but start making plans in his mind:
"If the prince continues to be so greedy and lustful, even if Kangxi doesn't depose him, he won't survive Kangxi, right?"
You know, Kangxi lived to be nearly seventy years old, and Yinreng died of illness in the second year of Yongzheng's reign.
If Kangxi did not depose the prince and allowed him to continue to be ridiculous and lustful, he might really have to give away the white-haired man to the black-haired man.
Under this situation, if Su Mingzhe continues to be a loyal servant and even tries his best to protect the prince from being deposed, he will definitely win the favor of some courtiers.
"Counting balls! This kind of thing like wiping someone's buttocks can only be done once in a while. If you let yourself do it often, I'm afraid you will be tortured to death!"
Su Mingzhe was riding on horseback, thinking that with his temper and character, sooner or later he would have a conflict with the prince, he shook his head and smiled.
Suddenly, an exclamation made Su Mingzhe, who had been distracted from his thoughts, suddenly come back to his senses and saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in a pink skirt standing on the road that was supposed to be smooth, dragging the eunuch in charge of cleaning the street.
Keep arguing about something.
When Su Mingzhe saw the pretty face of the girl in the pink skirt clearly, ten thousand thoughts passed through his mind:
"Having the heroine act violently on the street twice in a row, this plot is really cruel!"
Although there were many thoughts in his mind, Su Mingzhe moved quickly. Just when the horse's head was about to hit the heroine, a stirrup man had already crossed the horse's head with his arms, hugged the dazed heroine directly in his arms, and turned her side
Put it on the horse!
"Uu——"
After drinking to stop his mount, Su Mingzhe finally lowered his head to look at Marte Ruoxi in his arms.
The two looked at each other instantly.
Different from the cold temperament of a man, the girl's eyes seem to hide stars and moons, bright and clear, making people want to get close to her.
"Miss!"
"Damn slave!"
The shouts of a maid and a chambermaid brought Su Mingzhe and the girl back to their senses.
When the maid saw that Su Mingzhe was still hugging her lady tightly and not letting go, she could only kneel down on the ground with a plop and plead:
"Fourth Master, please forgive me, we are from Babele Mansion..."
"Are you the Fourth Master? The Fourth Belle?"
When the heroine heard what the maid called the man, not only was she not afraid, but her eyes flashed with various small questions:
"It turns out that the future Emperor Yongzheng is so handsome—many times more handsome than the poisonous snake Lao Jiu and the idiot Lao Ten!"
"Besides, the boyfriend power of these four Belles is so strong!"
"When I hugged myself, I didn't even have the slightest thought of resisting..."
