The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 154 Show off your power
When the fourth brother learned that Nian Gengyao had returned for three days but had not come to greet him, he was so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils. He raised his hand and swept all the tea sets on the table to the ground.

The Thirteenth Brother had nothing to say. Nian Gengyao, that dog servant, just looked down on his master, the Fourth Brother. How could he persuade him?
Yinyu sighed and said, "The third sister of the Nian family has grown up!"

When the fourth brother heard this, he immediately became energetic and shouted loudly: "Fifteenth brother, you must help me!"

Yinyu nodded and said, "Of course, if I don't help you, who will I help?"

Even the Thirteenth Prince, who was watching from the sidelines, had to admit that Yinwei really treated the Fourth Prince as his own brother. He not only obeyed him in everything, but also respected him very much.

To be honest, Yinyou had been on the Fourth Prince's side for a long time, while the Thirteenth Prince completely sided with the Fourth Prince only after the Crown Prince was deposed.

In terms of qualifications for joining the gang alone, the Thirteenth Prince is far inferior to Yinyou.

In addition, because Huixiang is the cousin of the Fourth Lady, the Thirteenth Prince asked himself that his importance in the Fourth Prince's mind really could not be compared with that of Yinyou.

In this day and age of nepotism, brothers from one's father's side are considered potential rivals, while brothers-in-law from one's wife's side can be loved.

In the Qing Dynasty, uncles were rivals in seizing the family property, while uncles were good helpers in seizing the family property.

Therefore, the maternal uncle is the most important, and there is a profound basis of interests.

The fourth brother was angry at Nian Gengyao because he actually admired his talent but also hated him for not treating him as his master.

The reason why Longkodo was called "Uncle" was because his adoptive mother, Concubine Tong Jia, really treated the fourth child as her own son.

The fourth son regards Longkodo as his uncle. In addition to valuing the powerful strength of the old Tong family, he also has real feelings for his adoptive mother.

After all, when the fourth brother called Longkodo uncle, Longkodo was just a first-class guard, far from his current level as the Nine Gates Admiral.

As the saying goes, a bystander sees more clearly. The Thirteenth Prince saw it very clearly. Even if Longkodo and Nian Gengyao were put together, their power could not match that of one foot of Yinyou.

If you can get one of the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix, you can pacify the world!

Judging from the current situation, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as he has Yinyou's full support, even if the fourth prince wants to use the Xuanwu Gate method of succession, it will be much easier than anyone else!
When Yinyou brought up the third sister of the Nian family, the fourth brother immediately revealed his true thoughts.

The Thirteenth Brother couldn't help but sigh, thinking that the Fifteenth Brother still understood the Fourth Brother better!
In fact, the idea of controlling Nian Gengyao through the third sister of the Nian family must be the only fantasy left of the fourth brother.

As the governor of Sichuan, Nian Gengyao didn't even care about Concubine De's birthday. How could he change his position because of his youngest sister?
However, since the fourth brother had this fantasy, Yinyou naturally had to fulfill it.

Anyway, by finding a way to send the third sister of the Nian family to Prince Yong's mansion, Yinyou will not lose any money, but will gain an additional bond with the fourth brother.

After the fourth prince ascended the throne, Yinyu spoke to him and promoted Nian Guanyin to the position of concubine.

In this way, Yinyou and the fourth brother became brothers-in-law.

With Concubine Nian’s invincible dominance as the only one favored by the six palaces, how could it be tolerated if she just whispered something in Yinyou’s ear?
Yinyou and the fourth brother were both very busy people and had not been together for some time.

So, the banquet was held in the West Flower Hall, and the three brothers sat around a large round table and began to clink glasses.

"Brother Thirteen, let's not go home until we are drunk today, okay?" When Yinyu said this, Old Thirteen couldn't help but sigh, "You are a wine god, I can't drink more than you!"

The fourth brother couldn't help but smile. The thirteenth brother was actually completely crushed by Yinyou.

It’s bad enough that he is not as favored by the emperor, has less power and title than Yinyou, but even when it comes to drinking, the Thirteenth Prince is far inferior to Yinyou.

However, the Thirteenth Prince has an advantage that Yinyou cannot compare with.

After the crown prince was deposed, the Thirteenth Prince was released after being imprisoned for only more than a month.

However, the Thirteenth Prince has become a discarded son who is hated by the Emperor and disliked by the Crown Prince!
The Thirteenth Brother, who had no hope, could only rely completely on the Fourth Brother, but this, in turn, became the Thirteenth Brother's greatest advantage.

Can people who have a way out be the same as those who have no way out?

When they were half drunk, the doorman suddenly came to report that Nian Gengyao came to pay a visit.

The fourth brother stood up in great surprise. The next moment, he realized that he had lost his composure, sat back on the stool, and said calmly, "No!"

Yinyou was sitting next to the fourth brother, so he naturally saw all of his startled behavior.

At this critical juncture, the Thirteenth Prince refused to speak a word for Nian Gengyao, so only Yinyou could help build a ladder.

"Fourth brother, call that dog slave in and make him stand for half an hour first, then we can talk about business!" Yinyou's suggestion was exactly what the fourth brother wanted, but he had just lost his temper and was unable to recover for a while, so he seemed a little hesitant.

The fourth brother was actually very happy in his heart, and the thirteenth brother naturally understood it.

"Fourth brother, Nian Gengyao is your servant after all, so you should beat him if he deserves to be beaten, and punish him if he deserves to be punished. But, you still have to meet him when you deserve to meet him!"

Time makes people grow old, and the once high-spirited and chivalrous King Lao Shisan has also become much more mellow.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger because it has never been bitten by a tiger.

The dirty things that the Thirteenth Prince did secretly, if Kangxi didn't really want to be Li Longji, he would have been chopped to death long ago! After repeated persuasion from Yinyu and the Thirteenth Prince, the Fourth Prince reluctantly called Nian Gengyao into the palace.

Just as Yinyou said, the fourth brother left Nian Gengyao alone for a full half hour before ordering someone to call him in.

"Your servant Nian Gengyao wishes my master and the fifteenth master good health!"

Unexpectedly, after Nian Gengyao entered the house, he caused trouble again. He completely ignored Old Thirteen and even refused to invite him to stay.

To be honest, with Yinyu's rich experience in officialdom, he had never seen a guy as bold as Nian Gengyao.

After becoming powerful suddenly at a young age, he had no idea how dangerous the government was!
In fact, Nian Gengyao's inexplicable arrogance is quite similar to that of Crown Prince Yinreng.

Just as the fourth brother was about to slam the table in anger, Yinyu shouted in a deep voice, "Come on, beat this dog slave out with a stick."

At this moment, Old Thirteen, who was ignored by Nian Gengyao, felt extremely warm in his heart, "Fifteenth brother, you are such a real man!"
Su Peisheng, who had been guarding the door, knew better than anyone that Yinyou was fully qualified to be the master of most of Prince Yong's mansion.

Under the command of Su Peisheng, the guards of the palace rushed in, carried Nian Gengyao and dragged him out.

Yinyu suddenly turned hostile, and Nian Gengyao finally got scared and shouted loudly: "Master, I was wrong, I won't do it again!"

To be honest, the fourth brother just wanted Nian Gengyao to have a correct attitude!

As long as Yinyou and the Thirteenth Prince gave their full support, all the banner-holders, princes and Manchu nobles of the Eighth Prince's party, even if added together, would not be enough.

Yinyou held the military power in open view, while the Thirteenth Prince hid in the dark and used the Fourth Prince's money to win over the middle and lower-level officers in the Miyun camp.

Anyway, Lao Shisan has nothing to do every day, so he might as well find someone to drink and chat with and pick up a pretty girl.

Kangxi had completely given up on the Thirteenth Prince and even drove him out of the Shangshu Room.

In essence, the fourth brother was a person who loved talents. He felt that among his servants, Nian Gengyao was the only promising official, which was truly rare!
Otherwise, it would be really difficult for the fourth brother to promote Nian Gengyao. If he really wanted to destroy him, there was still a way.

After Nian Gengyao was dragged back, he knelt straight at the feet of the fourth brother.

At this moment, the fourth brother's mood was extremely complicated. Alas, how could a forced melon be sweet?

Yinyu saw the fourth brother's conflicted mood, so he decided to let him be the bad guy and ordered Su Peisheng: "Slap him!"

Su Peisheng didn't wait for the fourth brother's order and immediately waved his arms, "Pa pa pa pa..." He slapped Nian Gengyao hard in the face with a slap in the face.

After only two slaps, Nian Gengyao's nose was bleeding. It can be seen that Su Peisheng was very ruthless.

The fourth brother felt very relieved in his heart. You deserved it, you dog slave. Every evildoer will be punished by his own evildoers!
Looking at Nian Gengyao with blood all over his face, Old Thirteen felt greatly relieved. Fifteenth brother, your aura is still strong enough to subdue the evil guy!

Su Peisheng's palms were all red from slapping, and Yinyu said coldly: "Nian Gengyao, go to Changchun Garden now and complain to Khan Ama, saying that I ordered the beating of an official appointed by the imperial court, which is a heinous crime!"

If it were someone else, Nian Gengyao would definitely not accept it.

However, Yinyou was not only the super commander of the Bordered White Banner, but also the owner of a small banner of Niulu.

In the semi-slave system of the Qing Dynasty, if a master beat his servant, let alone just slapping him in the face, even if he slept with his wife, who would dare to say a word against it?
The fourth brother said angrily, "I ordered you to be beaten. If you don't accept it, go to Changchun Garden and complain!"

The Thirteenth Prince was indeed nothing, but with the Fourth Prince and Yinyou, Nian Gengyao was really scared!

"Master, please forgive me this time. I won't dare to do it again!" Nian Gengyao kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Yinwei gave the fourth brother a look, and the fourth brother knew that after Yinwei's ruthless actions, it was his turn to show mercy.

Anyway, Yinyou played the villain and acted as a fierce thug. If the fourth brother wanted to win Nian Gengyao's heart, he had to play the good guy and give him benefits.

"I'm beating you for your own good. You're just the governor of Sichuan now, how can you not know your place? When you become the governor-general of Sichuan and Shaanxi, you should guard against arrogance and impatience and be cautious in your conduct..." The fourth brother's method of feeding the man a drug is definitely the black technology of Zenith Star.

In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are just paper tigers!

In the entire Qing Dynasty, the only person who dared to order Nian Gengyao to be slapped was Yinyou, besides the current emperor and the crown prince!
With Yinyou's great favor, it would be useless not to fan him, and it would be useless even if he did. Nian Gengyao was doomed to suffer!

"I was wrong, I won't do it again!" Nian Gengyao really didn't have the courage to go to Changchun Garden to complain.

Since Nian Gengyao had surrendered, the fourth brother ordered someone to take him downstairs to wash his face and clean up the blood from his nose.

After Nian Gengyao had finished cleaning up, the fourth brother forced him to sit on a stool beside him, and he sat with Yinyou and the thirteenth brother, drinking and chatting!
When Nian Gengyao was drunk and was carried to the guest room, the fourth brother not only rewarded him with a cooling ointment to heal his wounds, but also sent the only remaining Yangzhou skinny horse in the prince's mansion to his bed.

In the morning, when Nian Gengyao said goodbye and left, he not only took away the Yangzhou skinny horse that could do everything, but also took away 50,000 taels of silver.

The fourth brother’s love potion is very powerful, it works every time he drinks it!
