There is no doubt that such a belated edict will make people suspicious. But judging from what happened in the 61st year of Kangxi's reign, he asked the Fourth Master to offer sacrifices to heaven on his behalf, and brought Hongli to the palace.

All signs indicate that the late emperor indeed wanted the Fourth Master to succeed him.

Since the idea of ​​passing the throne to the fourth master had long been thought of, why was there no posthumous edict left?

The late emperor's health was not very healthy in his later years, which can be seen from the daily records. He knew that his body was gradually unable to support him, and he had a candidate in mind, so why did he leave nothing behind? This was the late emperor's style of doing things.

Thinking of this, Lin Yutong suddenly trembled and turned over to sit up.

What if the late emperor had a posthumous edict?

She boldly speculated that if the late emperor had left another edict, and Longkodo was by his side when he was about to die, then what would the late emperor say? He would say that he would pass the throne to the fourth prince Yinzhen.

In other words, a dying person cannot speak out. If there is time to say those things, wouldn't the other waiters be able to come forward? Why is there only one more person in Long Ke?

It's not bad to say that the throne was passed to the fourth prince. Or maybe the late emperor didn't say this at all before he died, but told Longkodo where the edict was.

Then there is a source for Longkodo's oral instructions in public. He must have received the edict and read it.

If this is the case, then as a person who is not very close to the fourth master and once hung out with Daqiantose and the eighth master, what will he do now? In fact, the fourth master's rise to power will not bring him anything bigger.

the benefits of.

How can we maximize benefits?

How can we gain the trust and favor of the new emperor, and even become the new emperor's benefactor?

Put away the edict!

There is no edict, and everything the new emperor gets is thanks to him. Considering the benefits gained from doing so, is this risk worth taking?

As a person who dares to play games, the benefits are too tempting. And the price paid... If it is done, will the new emperor be entangled in the edict?

No! It won't happen! Xintei wants to turn over this page as soon as possible more than anyone else, hoping not to mention it again.

So who would know?

The real god is unaware of the ghost.

Thinking of this, Lin Yutong's breathing quickened. Is this conjecture possible?

Absolutely!

This is in line with Longkodo's character.

What if this is really the case? If this is really the case, then I should worry about whether the true edict has been destroyed by Longkodo.

If your guess is wrong...

Lin Yutong jumped off the kang and wandered back and forth on the ground with only her socks on. "If I guess wrong..." A stern look appeared on her face, "Then I will make it true." Thinking of Fourth Master.

, her heart became even more determined, "I feel sorry for my own man. If I want to do it, I will be a sure thing."

After thinking about the escape route, you still need to check what you need to check, just in case it is true.

She summoned the commander of the sticky pole and gave detailed instructions before asking people to go down.

That's right, the sticking point is now in her hands. Lin Yutong arranges many trivial matters, and only talks to Fourth Master when necessary.

When he came back in the evening, Lin Yutong told his fourth master his guess, "...the more I think about it, the more I think it's the same thing..."

The fourth master leaned on the bed and chuckled, "You think so, I thought so too, even he thought so before. He didn't bother to check, because he might be afraid of leaking the news when he wanted to check later. After all, he

Their situation is different from ours. Lao Ba and the others have been adding to the chaos, making a lot of noise, and laughing at the jokes. If we really check it out, if someone notices it, they won’t be able to suppress it. What about me? I’m not afraid at all.

What. With the things we have in hand now, let alone chaos, even if there is chaos, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Lin Yutong rolled her eyes at him, why bother if he could avoid causing trouble? But he also emboldened himself by saying this, so as to save her from worries, she still obediently agreed.

Fourth Master just mentioned this, how to handle the rest of the things, without even asking. Tongtong had nothing to worry about.

What is really worrying is that we have arrived at Tongzhou Pier.

Hong Zhou shrunk his head and entered the cabin. When he came out, he felt very boring. Although he didn't show any pomp and ceremony, Li Wei was very careful and cleared out the people before he even arrived at the dock.

. I originally thought I could see the bustling scene of the dock, but it turned out that there were not many hairs.

Either they avoided it early, or they huddled in the cabin and did not dare to show their faces. There were not many boats parked on the river, and those who could go ashore were all ashore. If they were moored in the water and would move every now and then, they would be afraid that the boat would be damaged.

freeze.

Why is it so cold this year?

After entering the cabin, the interior was well decorated. From here, it was obvious that Li Wei was indeed an extremely careful person. People tend to feel sleepy in a warm and cozy environment.

Seeing this elder brother lying on the bed looking helpless, Li Wei still did his duty as a nanny, "Fifth elder brother, I have been out for a long time, do you want to eat..."

"Come on if you have anything to eat." Hong Zhou got up and asked Xiao Luzi to untie his cloak, and then pointed to the stool, "Mr. Li, just sit down wherever you want. We are traveling together, so we should always be polite.

It’s so annoying…”

Li Wei also took a look along the way. He was not the same as the common third and fourth elder brothers. He was somewhat at odds with him. He sat over and said with a smile: "It's not easy to come out, elder brother."

It’s time to take a good look at the local customs, why do you look like this?”

The corners of Hong Zhou's eyebrows drooped, "Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know? There will be a lot of trouble when we go out this time. No one came out, so I sent my young master... If others don't tell me, they just blame me.

Fourth brother, if this was a good thing, he would have jumped out a long time ago, and it’s my turn?” Do you want to hide away?

It was hard for Li Wei to answer this, so he slapped his thigh and said, "There's something good. Brother, wait a minute. I asked someone to buy it. You must have never eaten this stuff before..."

Hong Zhou wasn't upset when he didn't get a response. He couldn't get upset even if he was upset. He had to rely on others along the way. Plus, the emperor's favorite minister, this awkwardness wasn't worth the fuss. He put away the melancholy on his face and revealed a few words.

Look very interested.

When I saw the result, it turned out that it was a huge piece of hot and soy sauce tofu.

"The specialty products from my hometown have now arrived in the capital along the canal." Li Wei's voice almost stopped, "As long as I cross the state, my slaves will have to get a piece of it. I really can't stand it."

They say the food in the south is exquisite, but I never expected that there is such a bold way to eat it.

Hong Zhou is a kid who is curious about everything. As long as he has never seen or passed by, he wants to try it, regardless of whether it is good or bad. So dinner is decided, a few freshly caught river fresh food, and a piece of it.

Sauce tofu. The two of them drank a jar of good wine.

Of course, Li Wei drank 80% of it. But the remaining 20% ​​was enough to knock Hong Zhou out.

After Hong Zhou finally stopped complaining and slept peacefully on the table, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, it is not difficult to run errands, and he can handle even the most difficult errands. The difficult thing is to serve these little ones.

Ancestor. Of course, the fifth elder brother is easier to serve. If it were the fourth elder brother, it would be difficult. People have a set of methods to win over people. If you want to avoid or refuse, wait and see.

In comparison, this person is much simpler.

After watching people put the little ancestor in place, he returned to his warehouse.

This time, the master has invested a lot of money. The appearance of the boat he built seems to be ordinary, but the speed is really not to be boasted. The time spent on the road is more than halved.

Hong Zhou had never been out. It was too cold and he rarely left the cabin. Li Wei always came up with something new for him to entertain himself, so he really didn't notice anything strange about the ship.

"Master Li is really capable." Xiao Luzi told Hong Zhou after Li Wei left this time.

Hong Zhou played with the dice in his hand and raised his eyebrows, "It's good to have the ability! It will be easier if you have the ability."

Xiaoluzi didn't understand what this meant, but he nodded anyway, "Just playing dice, if I master it, it won't be considered a loss."

Hong Zhou laughed, "That's... right!" It would be strange if Huang Ama knew that he would learn this when he went out, and would not kick himself to death when he returned.

But no matter what, it's better to be treated as a child than to be treated like an adult.

So one coaxed him and the other coaxed him willingly, and he arrived in Jiangnan safely and soundly.

I told Li Wei that the fifth elder brother is really a good and worry-free boy.

Hong Zhou, a worry-free boy, had already sent someone to quietly deliver a message to the three of them without Li Wei knowing it.

Why so eager?

He was eating, drinking and having fun along the way, but he had no less worries. What was the purpose of his trip? To put it bluntly, he came to Beijing with money.

Why did Uncle Eight suggest asking someone with sufficient status to hold him down? Isn't it because he was afraid of encountering greed again? The jewelry was stuffed into the box with the next generation. Who will tell clearly what happened? When was it taken?

Can you explain it clearly?

If something really happened, who would Huang Ama suspect? Uncle Eighth is the person who has the closest ties to Jiangnan.

So, the shrewd Eighth Uncle pushed himself out.

Why myself? I am the emperor's elder brother. As for Hongshi and Hongli, who are also the emperor's elder brothers, Hongshi is too honest. An honest child can't do this. As for Hongli, let alone he has errands, he is in charge of everything in Beijing.

He is doing business. Even if he has no errands, Emperor Ama will not agree to his eighth uncle's request. Why? Hongli's arrangements from the beginning to the present are all about seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. His little thoughts

, how could these impure uncles not understand. So, as soon as Huang Ama called him, he understood everything as soon as he saw Uncle Eighth at Hou Jian. This matter is not easy to handle. Who is greedy?

Aren't you trying every possible means to hide your money so that it can be found so easily? Especially when you know it is a dead end, will you simply throw away all your money? Can you be an official? Can you be a high official? Can you be a corrupt official?

, there are no fools among these people.

After getting off the boat and putting the imperial envoy's support aside, the Jiangnan officialdom realized that the emperor had sent the imperial envoy to Jiangnan.

Li Wei was about to be busy, so he arranged for Hong Zhou, "I sent someone to take the young master around..."

"Go and do your business." Hong Zhou waved his hand, "In those days, Huang Mafa went to the south of the Yangtze River several times and visited the places where he was lucky enough to visit... I should go and pay my respects. I don't need you to accompany me."

Li Wei's heart was moved and he looked at Hong Zhou in surprise. Is this fifth elder brother really smart, or is he just a blind cat who has stumbled upon a dead mouse?
