Chapter 1213: Digging a hole and burying it

In less than ten days, Su De sent gifts to the Prince of Guo County's Mansion twice, and finally knocked on the door of the Prince of Guo County's Mansion.

Before the Wanbao Festival, Su De met the Seventeenth Prince in the Lifan Courtyard once. He had a very good impression of the Seventeenth Prince and thought he was a humble prince.

When we meet now, the Seventeenth Prince is still warm, but Su De only feels pain in his heart and lungs.

Ten thousand taels of gold not only consumed all the savings he brought from Khalkha, but also borrowed three thousand taels from the Cao family.

The seventeenth prince only felt that the 10,000 taels of gold was just a hand, but other corals, gems, beeswax, agate and other things were cheaper.

Half of the filial piety was given to Qin Taipin, and half was left as a private house for the 17th concubine.

Although there is no shortage of these things in the palace, for women, there will never be too much jewelry.

Qin Taipin didn't say anything, but just gave a few words of advice. Knowing that this was not an ill-gotten fortune, he happily accepted it. Since the seventeenth concubine was pregnant, she was full of the child in her stomach.

She had already muttered several times in the ear of the Seventeenth Prince. If she had added a little prince, she would keep these things for future hiring a wife; if she had added a little princess, she would have added dowry.

"Prince, the lower-ranking official is taking the liberty to come to the door, but it is still for the prince to inherit the title." Su De bit his back teeth and said carefully: "The old Khan has been dead for a hundred days. It is time to handle the matter behind him..."

The Seventeenth Prince seemed to know what he was saying below, waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "I know, what's the matter? When the crown prince inherits his title, he is the lord of the Zasaktu Khan tribe, and the remaining Beile and Beizi, even if they are more troublesome now, they will not be able to make a fuss."

If it were before, Su De would feel at ease when he heard this sentence.

The Zasaktu Khan tribe has six banners, and the Khan also serves as the prince of the right-wing left banner. The other five banners are led by other descendants of Subadi, the first generation of Khan Khan. The highest rank is now Belebobe, who is in charge of the left-wing left banner, and is swung to death by the prince's uncle.

As far as Su De knows, Bobei is now in the capital.

According to Su De's speculation, the so-called "grant to the government to stay in Beijing" is probably because Bobei is doing something.

As long as the prince is stationed in Beijing, several banner masters of Zasaktu Khan will have to take Bobe as the leader of the horse. Even if the Khan's palace remains as the acting official, how can he control these banner masters?

Su De only felt bitter in his mouth and said, "Prince, what the officials want to say is not the matter of inheriting the title, but heard that the emperor wants to grant the crown prince's capital?"

The seventeenth prince nodded and said, "It's true that it's the place I chose. There are three idle princes in the capital, including Wen County Princess Mansion next to the Lifan Courtyard, Hui County Princess Mansion on Xizhimen Street, and An County Princess Mansion on Taijichang South Street. The first two places are either badly addressed or old, only An County Princess Mansion has been vacant for a few years. The mansion is the largest and the house is maintained well. If you have a little renovation, you will never feel wronged."

Although the prince was able to inherit the throne of Zasaktu Khan, his title in the court was the Prince of Duoluo. The mansions in the capital could only be set according to the rules of the Prince of Duo.

When Su De heard this, he couldn't help but panic and said hurriedly: "Prince, the flag is busy, how can the prince stay in Beijing for a long time? I'll ask the prince to deal with it."

Seeing him like this, the seventeenth prince couldn't help but lower his face and said, "The emperor's kindness is so great. You don't want to thank the emperor for your master, and you still have doubts about the emperor's doubts? Apart from the Holy Ancestor's Fashion Lord, who is so decent?"

"I dare not, dare not, how dare I lose my respect? But my minister's master is young, and the other old banner masters of the Six Banners of the Zasaktu tribe are in competition in the territory. If the prince is in Khalkha, it would be fine if he relies on the name of the Khan and the court to support him, he can still shock the flags and make everyone dare not act rashly. If the prince is always in the capital, there will be trouble in the Khalkha." When the matter is right, Su De didn't care about "family scandals should not be made public", and he was full of miserable words.

The seventeenth prince's brows were twisted and said, "How could this be the case? Then how can you live? The emperor has already chosen Prince An's Mansion and ordered the people from the Interior Office to repair it."

Su De entered the ice cave, with a mouth, and was inexplicably surprised.

The seventeenth prince was a little embarrassed, coughed twice, and said, "Maybe the prince is just too worried... If you really don't worry about Khalkha, you will send your eldest son to serve as a steward. The eldest son he raised in the Cao family will become a child in another year..."

After hearing this, Su De had nothing on his face, but he was suspicious.

He looked at the Seventeenth Prince and for some reason he remembered the rumors that the Seventeenth Prince had a good relationship with Cao Yong.

He already felt something was wrong, so he dared not speak easily.

After all, he is the most important minister of the prince, and he knows the prince's intentions best. Although the prince had the intention to make the eldest son the concubine's heir in his early years, he had become more indifferent to his old age as his concubine's favor in recent years.

This is not surprising. The Mongolians have long inherited the tradition of family stoves from their youngest sons.

Although the prince could not share the land and titles to Master Hang Seng, he gave half of the wealth of the Khan's house and prepared slaves and guards for him, which also calculated the relationship between father and son.

Now, I heard from the Seventeenth Prince that he wanted to pass the prince to the capital and let Young Master Hang Seng take charge of the Khan's Mansion?

Could it be that the Cao family made trouble?

In his early years, the prince promised to make the young master Hang Seng the heir in front of Cao Yong. Now that he regrets it, the Cao family refuses to give up.

Seeing that Su De didn't speak, the Seventeenth Prince was not in a hurry.

Su De could only bite the bullet and said, "This is not something that the little minister can make the decision. The little minister then sent someone to send a letter to Khalkha and asked the prince for instructions."

The seventeenth prince waved his hand and said, "It's a tedious thing to do, casually, and inherit the title. There are also disputes in the royal family. They squeezed their heads and fought for several years. In the end, the emperor was annoyed and directly transferred the title. Only then did the starting lineup be settled. You are sensible, and your master is almost the same, so it's not like this."

Although he smiled, Su De could only say goodbye carefully.

After leaving the palace, Su De breathed a sigh of relief.

His eyes narrowed, thinking about the possibility of the Cao family's involvement in this matter.

If Cao Yong had a friendship with the Seventeenth Prince was as good as rumors, it would not be impossible for the Seventeenth Prince to come forward and provoke a few words in front of the emperor, which would make the emperor tired of the prince.

He was shocked and confused, so he quickly returned to Lifanyuan, wrote a letter, writing clearly the strange situation in the capital, sent his two confidants, and set off for Khalkha immediately.

At this point, Su De was not in a hurry and began to think about the word "drag".

Unexpectedly, the situation became more and more urgent, so where could he have room for breath?

The next day he visited the Prince of Guo County, there was an imperial edict to the Lifan Courtyard, but it was not for Sude, but for Bobeibeile.

Bobeibei was promoted to Prince of Doro, and he still led the lord of the left wing left banner of the Zasaktu Khan tribe.

Where can Sude "restrain"?

When Bobei was promoted to Prince, it means that in the eyes of the court, even if Bobei was not as good as the prince, both of them were princes in the court, and their weight was similar.

Even if the imperial court has now changed the left-wing Left Banner Palace to assassinate the Khan throne, Bobe is also qualified.

If it were before, he had suspected that the Cao family had been tricked for the position of the heir of the Hang Seng Master, and now these suspicions have disappeared.

Now it seems that it is not just the Cao family who is trying to make the young master Hang Seng inherit the Khan's mansion; it is more like the emperor dislikes the prince and wants to replace him with the old bastard Bobei.

Overnight, Sud's hair was half white.

His mouth was full of bubbles and stepped into the Prince Guo's Mansion again.

Seeing Su De crying and begging, the seventeenth prince's expression was helpless, and said, "The emperor has always been a wise and elegant word. Who can easily change the emperor's wishes? But if I accept your heavy gift, I will feel sad if I stand by and watch. Now, what I can fight for for you is whether the prince or Hang Seng will be in Beijing."

Su De's eyelids twitched and he murmured: "Is this, isn't it inappropriate? There is still a legitimate prince in the palace..."

The seventeenth prince nodded and said, "It's a bit inappropriate, so wait for the prince to come to the capital before talking... The imperial edict will be issued in the next two days. Now the time is in a hurry, so why not plan something... When the prince arrives in the capital, it's better to talk about it..."

The Seventeenth Prince did not say anything about Hang Seng. Su De felt uneasy and whispered: "Besides, the weight of Hang Seng may not be enough..."

After hearing this, the seventeenth prince raised his eyebrows and looked at Su De with a little more surprise, as if he said again: "I don't have enough weight, why don't I know?"

Return without success.

Su De drooped his head and came out of the Prince of Guo County's Mansion.

Regardless of whether the Seventeenth Prince is kind or not, he is just a subordinate, so he has the right to decide for the prince, whether to let Young Master Hang Seng be the representative of the Khan Palace in Beijing.

Seeing Bobe being arrogant all day at the Lifanyuan Inn, Su De was so anxious that he fell straight away.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Finally, an official from the Lifan Academy led the eunuch to pass the imperial edict and summoned Su De to the palace to meet the emperor.

The last time when the emperor saw him, Yongzheng just ignored him, the envoy of the Khan, but this time he looked sarcastic and did not shout. He looked down at him and called the little eunuch beside him, holding two decrees and putting them in front of him.

These are two imperial edicts without jade seals, both of which are the crown princesses. The difference is that the former decree ordered the crown prince to stay in Beijing and also awarded the position of the Mongolian governor of the Zhenghuang Banner; the latter decree was to be the eldest son of the royal palace, Hang Seng, the new Khan of the new Khan, to lead the first-class guards, and follow the fourth son of the emperor, Hongli.

"Ge Keyan Pile is arrogant and rude and disrespectful to the court. I should have summoned him back to the capital to discipline him very much. However, for the sake of your loyal minister in the royal family, I cannot receive the 10,000 taels of gold that you have entrusted to Prince Guo for filial piety. I always have to give you a decent amount. Which of these two imperial edicts should be issued clearly, it is up to you, the loyal minister in the royal family to choose!" Yongzheng said coldly.

Su De only felt sweaty on his back. I wonder if it was the emperor who blamed him for "camping" in Beijing, or if the emperor really received the "favor" of ten thousand taels of gold.

His eyes were flickering, and he really had no courage to delay, so he stretched out his hand and pointed to the first decree...

Guojun Prince's Mansion, Flower Hall.

The sixteenth prince had already raised the wine cup and said to Cao Yong happily: "This time I have accepted the favor of my seventeenth brother, so we two have to pay a few to him."

"That's what it should be." Cao Yong also picked up the wine cup with a smile.
