Chapter Twenty-Nine: Fear, Temptation, Suspicion!
"Su Peisheng, the king of Chuanguo County has entered the palace!"
Looking at the letter in his hand, Yongzheng closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before saying to the eunuch beside him.
"Huh!"
For Yongzheng's order, Su Peisheng naturally didn't dare to disobey, although he didn't understand what had just happened, but as a personal person who had served Yongzheng for so many years, he could feel that something should be written on that letter.
About half an hour later, I saw a young man with a delicate face and an air of elegance all over his body walking into the south study.
"Brother Minister, meet Brother Huang!"
As soon as he entered the door, the man hurriedly made a big salute to Yongzheng.
"The family doesn't have to be so restrained, and it's hard for you to enter the palace so late." Seeing the appearance of the man, a rare smile appeared on Yongzheng's face.
"Thanks to the royal brother's love, where is there any hard work or not."
The man bowed slightly, and his tone was full of caution.
This person is the key character in the plot, Kangxi's seventeenth son, King Guojun.
"I don't know if the imperial brother was suddenly summoned late at night, but what's the matter?"
King Guojun also looked at Yongzheng in confusion at this time, he was about to go to bed just now, but someone suddenly came to the palace to send a message to let him enter the palace.
In the past, although the emperor summoned him to the palace a lot, most of them were when it was still early, and now he was suddenly summoned in the middle of the night, presumably something important happened.
"Look at this!"
Faced with King Guojun's inquiry, Yongzheng just silently handed him the urgent report just now.
"This..."
After seeing the contents of the letter, King Guojun couldn't help but be shocked.
Songjiang Mansion actually fell?
"I have just received this news, although now the governor of Liangjiang has sent someone to quell the rebellion, but I have always been a little uneasy, I feel that I still have to send someone over to see it for myself.
Originally, I wanted to go in person, but you also know that some time ago I just took care of Nian Qianyao's family, and now there is a lot of discussion in Beijing, and there are even many small actions under the people, if I leave Beijing rashly, I am afraid that there will be changes, so I think about it, and finally I think it is most suitable for you to go. ”
Yongzheng patted King Guojun's shoulder, and there was some embarrassment in his tone.
"Thanks to the trust of the imperial brother, the younger brother is duty-bound, but the younger brother has a doubt..."
In the face of Yongzheng's entrustment, King Guojun also agreed after a little hesitation.
After all, he also has no right to refuse.
But then again, Songjiang Mansion is located in the south of the Yangtze River and belongs to a rich land, why did a group of anti-thieves suddenly appear now? .
And the most important thing is that the other party was able to capture Songjiang Mansion in such a short period of time, which is simply impossible in the eyes of King Guojun, I am afraid that there is another hidden truth here.
"I know what you're going to say, that's why I sent you over, this rebellion is likely to be related to local officials, so I asked you to go over this time to find out all this!"
Yongzheng was suspicious by nature, and he thought of this possibility the first time he learned that Songjiang Mansion was lost, so he sent King Guojun to take a look in person.
In fact, there is another deep meaning why he did this, and that is temptation.
He had never been suspicious of his brother before, but when he was cooking the eighth child, King Guojun was involved in the whole process, even if the other party had no objection before, it was difficult to guarantee that the other party would not hold a grudge against him because of this matter.
So this time, he wanted to see if his brother would behave unruly.
I have to say that among the royal family, the relationship is the weakest, and when it comes to the throne, even the biological father and son may draw a knife against each other, let alone brothers.
For Yongzheng's intentions, King Guojun seems to understand but also doesn't understand, some words can't be said too clearly, otherwise it is easy to provoke death.
For the sake of her own safety, her mother was willing to become a nun, and she also showed herself to show the person in front of her that she had no disobedience.
But as a person who has experienced the nine sons, how can he easily trust others?
Walking out of the palace, King Guojun reached out and stroked his forehead, but at some point a layer of cold sweat had appeared on his body.
"Let's hope this is the last time."
King Guojun looked up at the stars in the sky and couldn't stop lamenting in his heart.
He had no objection, nor did he have the ambition to inherit the unification, his ideal was just to find a confidant to stay with for the rest of his life, but unfortunately as a royal child, even such a simple wish could not be fulfilled.
......
Winter nights are always extraordinarily long, but even the longest nights will eventually pass.
Early in the morning, when Zhang Fan woke up from the bed, he only felt that his whole body was extremely sore.
I don't know if it's because of the bed, since he came to Songjiang Mansion, Zhang Fan hasn't slept soundly for a day.
"With such a hard bed, I don't know how that old guy can sleep."
Zhang Fan trembled and walked out of bed while moving his muscles and bones.
In this year, there is no mattress in the first bed, even if several layers of bedding are added, Zhang Fan still feels that the bed is not good, which makes him a little unacceptable to him who is used to Simmons.
Seriously, sleeping here is not as comfortable as sleeping in the base!
"When the country is built in the future, I have to move the bed in the base out!"
Zhang Fan complained hatefully.
After some activity, the soreness in my body gradually subsided, and although I could still feel the soreness during strenuous activity, it was much stronger than the previous sleeping stiff neck.
"Good morning, Commander, looks like last night should have been a good dream!"
As soon as he brought the watch on the table, Davari's voice rang out.
"Okay, don't make fun of me, I was going to die last night, it's a good dream, it's good to be able to fall asleep."
Hearing Davari's greeting, the black line on Zhang Fan's face couldn't help but increase a little more.
"It may be a little uncomfortable at first, but according to the data, your body has started to gradually adapt to this, and after a while, you won't have this kind of problem anymore."
"I hope so."
Zhang Fan sighed, then walked out of the room and stretched.
At this time, there was already a trace of morning light in the sky, and smelling the slightly earthy air, Zhang Fan only felt extremely comfortable.
Although Zhang Fan is a little uncomfortable with the lack of mobile phones in this world, fortunately, the environment here is not bad, and it is several orders of magnitude fresher than later generations.
"It's rare to have such a good day, let's go out for a walk, I patronized the planning of the military before, so much so that now I don't even know what Songjiang Mansion looks like."
After taking a deep breath to expel the remaining sleepiness, Zhang Fan had the idea of going out for a walk for the first time.
