Chapter 59 Chapter 58

The thirteenth elder brother stood up suddenly, stepped forward and knelt down in front of Kangxi, the fourth elder brother shouted: "Thirteenth brother!" The thirteenth elder brother kowtowed to Kangxi as if he had never heard of it, and said: "This is the end, Huang Ama Sooner or later, the truth will be found out, so I will recruit myself! This is because Erchen secretly instructed A Ling'a and Kui Xu to spread rumors everywhere in the name of the fourth brother." After speaking, he looked sideways at A Ling'a and Kui Xu and said : "The matter has come to this, there is no need to hide any more, since everything has been spread out, no one can escape." Said, his eyes swept across the face of the eighth elder brother coldly.

The tenth elder brother raised his head and said loudly: "The thirteenth brother's words are strange. Who doesn't know that you and the fourth brother have always been inseparable. Don't you mean what the fourth brother means?" I stared at the tenth elder brother, not knowing why I should be angry It should hurt.I have been dreading this scene all the time, but this scene finally happened before my eyes. Kangxi stared at the thirteenth brother coldly, and the thirteenth brother kowtowed and said: "I have my own selfishness, whether the words of my son are true, Huang Ama can only ask A Ling and Kui Xu."

Kangxi looked at A Ling'a and Kui Xu, and said extremely coldly: "What is the truth?" See, this matter should not have been done by the fourth brother. The fourth brother has a weak heart, often meditates and recites scriptures in the mansion, and is the most filial and considerate of Huang Ama's wishes on weekdays. He will never do such a thing that goes against the emperor's thoughts." Kangxi stared at the fourteenth elder brother for a while, and still stared at A Ling'a and Kui Xu. The two kowtowed and said, "I deserve death for my crimes. It was indeed the thirteenth elder brother who signaled." Tell the whole story of the incident one by one, the specific meeting date, the content of the private conversation, who can prove it, all clear and clear.Since the eighth elder brother spent two or three years planning to frame the fourth elder brother, of course the witnesses and physical evidence will be complete. At this time, the fourth elder brother was replaced by the thirteenth elder brother.After hearing this, Kangxi clenched his hands on the table tightly, looked at the fourth elder brother and asked, "Did Yinxiang do it?"

My heart tightened, this question is a trap, whether it is true or not, it is wrong. The fourth elder brother raised his head and glanced coldly at the thirteenth elder brother, kowtowed extremely heavily, pressed his forehead to the ground and said in a low voice: "It is indeed not my son's doing, and my son does not know if it was Thirteenth brother's doing." My heart was relieved, followed by infinite sadness.His head was kowtowed to Thirteen, everything is a foregone conclusion.His head was on the ground, tears streaming down his face. Under the threat of Thirteen, the eighth elder brother was forced to back down. Although he did not defeat the fourth elder brother, he had already cut off the fourth elder brother's left and right arms. More importantly, let Kangxi treat the fourth elder brother Brother became suspicious.

Kangxi was silent for a while, and then ordered to the third elder brother: "Lead someone to confine Yinxiang, the thirteenth son of the emperor, in the beekeeping lane. No one is allowed to visit without imperial decree! Ah Ling and Kui Xu are handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for detailed investigation and deliberation!" The thirteenth elder brother kowtowed three times to Kangxi, stood up, followed the guards, and never looked at anyone again from the beginning to the end.The thirteenth elder brother walked out slowly, with a supernatural expression and a casual posture, not as if he was being punished, but more as if he was going to an appointment with a beautiful woman, as if what was waiting for him was not the shabby, dark and humid summer It's so hot that it's dizzy, and it's so cold in winter that the beekeepers live in a shed, but "a piece of moon holds the mountain out of the sky, and the sound of the flute is melodious in front of the evening wind."The white gulls are mighty and the spring waves are broad, and the light boats are stable and shallow. '

Kangxi watched the thirteenth elder brother's retreating back, suddenly showing exhaustion, and said to everyone: "Kneel down!" After speaking, Li Dequan got up and went out to serve.Everyone bowed their heads and knelt until Kangxi was far away, then got up one after another and exited silently. After the people gradually dispersed, the eighth elder brother got up, glanced at the fourth elder brother who was still kneeling with his forehead close to the ground, and glanced at me who was kneeling upright on the ground, turned around and walked out slowly.Ninth elder brother glanced at fourth elder brother with a smile, then nodded at me with a smile, and went out with eighth elder brother.Brother Ten got up and looked at me and shouted in a low voice: "Ruoxi!" I ignored him, he leaned over to help me stand up, I opened his hand and said coldly: "Go away!"

The fourteenth elder brother stood in front of the door, looked at me and the tenth elder brother quietly, and said lightly: "The tenth elder brother, let's go! She is angry and won't talk to us." The tenth elder brother was silent for a while, then turned and followed the tenth elder brother. The fourth elder brother left. I knelt quietly for a while, then got up and walked to the fourth elder brother, who was still kneeling with his forehead on the ground, motionless.I looked down at his arched back. I knew the result, and even knew that Elder Brother Thirteen was still heartbroken ten years later. He faced this scene without mental preparation, and he didn't know the prison Whether it will be a lifetime from now on, how painful is it?Not to mention sacrificing for him?

After a while, suppressing his grief, he squatted beside him and said softly, "They are all gone, you should go back too!".I waited for a while, but he was still like a clay sculpture, not moving.I took a deep breath and said lightly, "Are you going to kneel down forever? Brother Thirteen will be able to kneel back?" He tightened his back, his shoulders trembled, he straightened up slowly, and looked at me, his eyes were dead but faint The flames burned, scorching people's eyes.I looked at the tea foam on his chest, took out the silk and gently wiped off the tea sticking to the robe.

After I finished wiping, he stood up quietly, turned around, and left slowly step by step.I squatted and watched his back go away.The thirteenth elder brother who was always with him was missing by his side, and his back was bleak. Thinking about having a toast with brother thirteen last night, today is life and death!Thinking of him riding a horse and taking me galloping in the night, thinking of his toasting song by the bonfire in the grassland, thinking of his tall and tall figure and Min Min looking at each other, and thinking of the narrow, damp and dark beekeeping lane, I can’t bear it anymore. Stop, sit on the ground, and cry with a low voice.In the empty and gloomy big room, I shrugged and hugged my head and cried, accompanied only by the faint cry echoing in the room.

It has been seven days since the thirteenth elder brother was imprisoned, and the fourth elder brother declined all court affairs, saying that "the failure to discover and advise the thirteenth brother's behavior in time made Huang Ama worry and sad." ', pleading guilty and reciting sutras at home behind closed doors.The eighth elder brother still behaved gracefully and smiled like a warm jade.I greeted him indifferently, and he smiled and said politely: "Get up!".I thought with a trance smile, everything has changed, and even the seemingly peaceful and peaceful days are gone forever.

Gently fanning the palm-leaf fan, the water boiled for a while before suddenly reacting, throwing down the fan and brewing a pot of "Dahongpao".Taking a sip, the thirteen elder brother's expression of appreciating tea with narrowed eyes appeared in his mind. From now on, who will make tea for you, who will listen to you playing the flute, and who will make you frown slightly? "Du Du" knocked on the door a few times, I looked towards the courtyard door, but didn't pay attention to it.After a while, the door was pushed open. Elder Fourteen looked at me sitting under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, frowned slightly and said, "Why don't you answer when I'm here?" He went to the table and sat down, "Are you really planning to never talk to us again except to say hello? Can I have a cup of tea?" I looked at the tea set on the table and couldn't help but smiled wryly, "The tea set is all from you. Can I not let you drink?" He picked up a cup of tea and took a few sips: "Ruoxi, I know you and Thirteenth Brother are good friends, but we also grew up playing together, how can you treat one more favorably than another? Besides, many things are just a matter of position, there is no right or wrong. "I asked lightly: "Are you here to teach today? I'm not in the mood to listen." He sighed softly, took out a letter from his arms and gave it to me, my eyes did not move, I still held the teacup and drank slowly, he said: "In order to see me, Luwu knelt at the side door of my mansion for a day and a night to ask for it. The servant will pass it on to her." I looked at him, and he said, "A letter from Luwu!" I hurriedly put down the teacup, took the letter, and tore it open in a hurry.Fourteen was quiet for a while and said in a cold voice: "I heard that Luwu also knelt in front of the fourth brother's house, but she was ignored from the beginning to the end. She came to me out of desperation. It's really..." I raised my head and glanced at him. With a sneer, he didn't speak again. After reading it, I was in a daze silently.Fourteen said: "If you want to reply to the letter, write it quickly. I will go out and give it to her as soon as possible, so as to stop her infatuation." I asked, "How do you know the content of the letter?" Beg me, I said that Huang Ama had already said that 'no one is allowed to visit without an imperial decree', not to mention her request. It made her give up. She still didn't give up, and begged me to bring you a letter, I can guess the content if she doesn't tell me. I didn't want to send this letter for her, but I really feel sorry for her. I think that with the friendship between you and Brother Thirteen, maybe she can listen to what you say, so please persuade me Let her! Otherwise, I’m really afraid that Thirteenth Brother is fine, and she’ll be gone.” He was silent for a while, then sighed: “Lvwu is haggard now, even if I have a heart of stone, I can’t wait to see her.” It's softened a bit!" I asked: "Is there really nothing you can do?" He said sincerely: "This matter has no conflict of interest with us. If you can be beautiful as an adult, why not do it? Is I really so cold-blooded in your heart? It can't be done, yes Because Huang Ama has already issued an imperial decree, the person who is now in charge of the Thirteenth Brother is selected by the Third Brother, and Huang Ama personally nods for approval. If there are any more people added, Huang Ama must agree. Now and Thirteenth Brother If there is a connection, Huang Ama will inevitably suspect that the thirteenth brother is not the only one who spread rumors. Even the fourth brother is busy separating the relationship with the thirteenth brother, let alone us? No one dares to speak for the thirteenth brother. of." I gave a cold 'hum' and didn't speak.It was you who did it, so of course you are even more taboo.In fact, everything is clear, but there is always a glimmer of hope. I got out of the meeting, turned around and entered the room, and wrote: "However, a person with little strength may not be useful, but he must try his best and wait for news." After thinking about it, he added: "Take care of your body, otherwise everything will be broken." Hugh, how can you take care of the thirteenth master?" After finishing writing, carefully seal the envelope. The fourteenth elder brother got up with the letter and got up to leave, but stopped in his tracks, hesitated for a while before saying: "There are some things, I shouldn't say too much in theory, but..." I cut off: "Then don't say it!" He stared at me, flicked his sleeves, turned around and left, and when he was about to go out, he stopped suddenly, turned around and said, "It doesn't matter if you have real affection for fourth brother or fake affection, stop here! You are a smart person, there is no need to embarrass me Myself!" After saying that, he walked away quickly. I stood quietly for a long time, picked up the cold tea and drank it in one gulp.It turns out that no matter how good the tea is, it is unspeakably bitter after cooling down. Holding the green letter, read it, think about it, and keep pace in the courtyard.After thinking about it, there is only one way to go, and that is the only way to succeed or fail. I read the letter word by word again, remembering the acquaintance with the thirteenth elder brother, put aside my fear, and made up my mind with a smile. "Let me ask Miss Ruoxi to learn from Taiwan: The humble concubine, Luwu, is from Wucheng, Zhejiang.This is a boudoir young man, born in a good family and grown up in a Shu family; every time he learns from a sage, he is often accompanied by a fragrant fragrance.The ancestors also used to have tall buildings and gardens, gold and jade for the hall; green willows to brush the threshold, and red canals to generate ponds.However, life is impermanent, and fate is unpredictable; once the wind and rain, the building suddenly collapses!It's a shame to be reduced to a smokehouse; it's not my concubine's intention to be adrift.I got acquainted with the Thirteenth Master when I was still young, tasting wine and discussing poetry, and came to meet each other on the piano and flute.The friendship between this text and ink is really a blessing in green!Master Meng never gave up, and took care of her for many years, and his concubine was a hard-working concubine, so she was safe.The concubine is a wind and smoke, different from the master Niyun. Although she is clean and self-sufficient, but the pearl is cast in darkness, and the white wall is covered with dust, she should be a bright mind, so why dare to think otherwise.However, I got the letter a few days ago, and I was shocked to learn that the thirteenth master disobeyed Tianyan, the emperor was furious, and banned him in the beekeeping road. The concubine was like a thunderbolt, and couldn't sleep at night.After thinking about it, tears soaked the quilt pillow.Hate Wei can't suffer for him, how can the Thirteenth Master's body of gold and jade endure the cold of frost and grass? Although Chang Siqie came from a humble background and had little knowledge of sages, she also knew that "the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring".Although I can't save my father from the sea of ​​suffering, I only hope that I can share the suffering with my father. If I can be in the prison of my father, I will be a maid to sweep the courtyard, take care of my daily life, and read day and night.If this wish can be fulfilled, what does Luwu want in this life? Although the concubine and the girl met once, it is often heard that the master praises the girl as "the wind in the forest", and the concubine is a matter of the thirteenth master, and there is no way to ask for help.Knowing that the girl is the husband of a woman, Meng Chang, the girl's middle school, will be able to think of the concubine sincerely and lend a helping hand.The girl is close to the heavenly family, and she is quite favored.However, this matter is difficult, but the concubine is desperate, and only holds out hope in case, begging the girl!
