Chapter 205: Fourth brother is so awesome
Probably got inspiration from the prince's reaction.
The eldest brother turned and scolded: "Gelfen, you dare to fabricate tenant farmers to deceive the emperor and all the officials. Do you know your guilt?"
The prince immediately retorted: "Brother, you young thief is shouting to catch the thief! Could it be that the tout from Nalan Kuifang and the mysterious person from the fourth brother are the same?"
"Then why didn't this tout tell Nalan Kuifang that there is a third, more high-yield, improved variety that requires special breeding?"
"Does he not want to make more money?"
"Fourth brother, I want to ask you, did your mysterious man sell you the rice one by one for money?"
The fourth elder brother answered euphemistically and irritatingly: "If money can buy the fine rice seeds in his hands, my brother is willing to spend all his family wealth."
"It's just that he refused to accept the offer, so my younger brother had no choice but to agree to the mysterious man's conditions one by one."
"That's why I concealed the rice seeds for the time being. My brother is ashamed."
The two elder brothers, who never reflected, put pressure on their younger brother in public, which made the partial emperor unable to bear it: "Gelfen! Aljishan! Nalan Kuifang! Are you going to plead not guilty so quickly?"
The thunderous wrath of the emperor.
Gelfen, Aljishan, and Nalan Kuifang all knelt down: "I know my mistake! Please forgive me!"
Even Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu didn't dare to stand, but they didn't dare to plead rashly.
If the crime of deceiving the emperor is only committed by a junior, the whole family will not be implicated.
If even the head of the family is dragged into the water, they will no longer have high-ranking officials and titles that can be deposed.
The joyful expression on Brother Fourteen's face changed, he frowned, and tugged on Brother Thirteen's sleeve.
Yinxiang immediately reached out and covered Brother Fourteen's mouth, silently shaking his head at him.
Brother Fourteen is not stupid.
He looked at Concubine De.
Although De Fei frowned slightly, she quickly let go.
However, the fourth sister-in-law behind her lowered her head, making her expression invisible for a moment.
Even the immature brothers understood that Kangxi was transferring the responsibilities of the two eldest princes.
Now that things have happened, who would believe that the prince and the eldest brother were completely unaware of the conspiracy of the Hesheli family and the Nalan family?
It's just that as an adviser to the two princes, if you want to use this to rise to the top, you will naturally have to bear the corresponding consequences.
If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight.
"Hershey Gelfin and Algisan fabricated the facts about cultivating fine seeds. They are cunning and treacherous. They will be dismissed from their posts and will be removed from their titles. They will never be hired by this court."
"Nalan Kuifang is greedy for merit and has been deprived of the treatment of a first-class duke. This court will never hire him."
The emperor added: "The prince and the eldest brother cannot supervise and recognize people poorly. Each of them will be fined one year's salary."
"The fourth elder brother has the merit of cultivating fine rice varieties and high-yielding crops, but he only listens to and believes in others, pretending to hide it, and the merits are offset by the faults."
"Today's competition ends here."
"Your Majesty, take off!"
The emperor turned around and returned to Qianqing Palace.
The great scholar, Gao Shiqi and others all accompanied him.
The people in the square shouted: "Consider your Majesty the Emperor. I will take my leave."
Some people were still staring at the iron pot in the imperial dining room, while more people were quick to leave this "battlefield" that had been prepared for a long time and had many twists and turns.
"My brother is so pitiful. Everything has been robbed by his brothers."
"I didn't expect that one brother is like this and the other brother is like this too."
"Even ordinary people can't bear it. What's more, what they are fighting for is the welfare of all people in the world. The relationship is not only important."
"It's like this. I don't know the importance. I wasted the emperor's attention and teachings for many years."
"Ahem. Can I also say these things?"
"That's what the boss reminded me."
"I'm going to tell you, my official, I didn't realize that this younger brother is usually sarcastic but seems to be making rapid progress after joining the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"I heard that he is an ear raker and loves to play in the mud. It turns out that this is all fake. He is a master grower."
"Playing in the mud is fake, but raking your ears doesn't tell you the truth!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Ji Nao! Looking back, that brother got a good job, will you fight to do something for him?"
"Then I'm afraid I'm going to overwhelm you."
"You want to change your master so soon? Have you asked your brothers what they want?"
"We have always served a master. The most important thing is which young master truly serves the people."
"That's exactly the reason."
…
The officials' chatter gradually faded away.
The fourth elder brother immediately looked at his little Fujin.
Ulanara also cast his gaze over.
Brother Si was stung by the anger in her eyes.
Then I felt uneasy.
Ulanara had been married to him for more than a year and had never seen her look so angry.
Why?
Did the emperor punish the prince and his eldest brother with small punishments and big admonitions? Did this arouse the dissatisfaction of the Uranala clan?
The fourth elder brother was about to walk towards Uranala's family when the younger brothers on the side rushed over: "Fourth elder brother, you are so awesome today. Did you see that their faces were all green just now? It was so satisfying to have them in front of them." The fourth brother was bullied like this in front of Khan Amma."
"But fourth brother can't hide everything next time. We almost can't help."
Thirteenth Brother: "Yes, Fourth Brother, Fourteenth Brother has been worried about you for a long time just now."
"Thirteen and Fourteen were both great today, and so was Twelve."
The fourth elder brother "stained both rain and dew" and praised all the younger elder brothers.
The tenth prince had already fled.
Fourteen looked arrogant.
At this time, a young eunuch came over, bowed and said: "Prince Kang, Fourth Brother, stay here."
"Your Majesty, please move to the Nuan Pavilion together."
Brother Si nodded towards Fujin and followed the pace of the young eunuch.
Lu Pheasant understood that although the emperor was tolerant of the prince and the eldest brother, he also wanted to protect Prince Kang and the fourth brother, so he announced that they would enter the palace.
It's just a balancing act commonly used by those in power.
The results of this competition of improved rice varieties have just come out, but it does not mean the end of this war without gunpowder.
But it has just kicked off.
The prince and the eldest brother looked at each other, then disliked each other and turned their backs.
The eldest brother left with Concubine Hui.
Nalan Mingzhu took her son back, thinking that it would be a blessing if Kifang could still keep his head.
As for the future, every injustice and every debt has its owner. Nalan Kui had only married the princess before he could enjoy the treatment of a duke. Now he can just do it.
Nalan Mingzhu will not easily let go of those who harm the Nalan family.
Suo'etu didn't care about his biological son who would not be employed in the future, so he left them behind and followed the prince instead.
The prince walked towards Yuqing Palace, which happened to be in the same direction as Concubine De and Sifujin.
Unable to catch the fourth elder brother to vent his anger, the prince stood in front of them with a ferocious face: "The fourth brother and sister are very capable."
"Could it be that the mysterious person mentioned by my fourth brother is you?"
In the distance, Concubine Hui and the eldest brother also stopped.
Even Yifei, who was walking in the opposite direction, grabbed the ninth elder brother's ear and followed the fifth elder brother a few steps this way.
Concubine Rong quickly pulled the third elder brother who wanted to get closer to the prince and left the square.
Are you kidding, someone as petty as the prince can be easily offended?
If she doesn't leave quickly, is she waiting to be implicated?
It was also the third prince who was blinded by lard and followed the prince's footsteps wholeheartedly.
As a mother-in-law, Concubine Rong could not say anything.
After all, he was the successor chosen by the emperor himself.
Little Tong Jia, who originally followed Hesheli, just stood there and started to watch the next good show.
Concubine De noticed the gazes around her, snorted coldly, and stood in front of Si Fujin.
She wants to surround her daughter-in-law and bully her when her son is not here?
Have you asked her what this serious mother-in-law means?
