He just continued with the task at hand. It would have been fine if he couldn't help him that day, but he also made things more complicated.
When they heard they would be sent to the training ground for three months, their legs went weak and they couldn't help but wail, "No, Ama, we really don't dare."
They were almost crippled after being gone for half a month. How could they come back after three months? Those people would not show mercy to them just because they are princes.
Those tricks and the means of training people were very cruel, they didn't treat them as children at all.
They don't want to go there, but even if they don't want to, it's useless. The Fourth Master has already made up his mind and it won't change.
In the end, no matter how much they said, it was of no use. Seeing that they were still refusing to leave, the Fourth Master called Su Peisheng in to drag them out.
The two were dragged to the training ground by Chenchen the next day. For the remaining three months, they lived a life that was like a devilish hell.
——
Not surprisingly, the fact that Emperor Kangxi did not severely punish the Third and Fourth Masters caused a stir in the court.
Most people speculated that the emperor valued the third and fourth masters more, otherwise why did the emperor not punish their brothers when they demolished the roof of the upper study?
Perhaps the emperor just wanted to choose the crown prince from among them.
For a moment, most people were unsure of the emperor's intentions. Before the Eighth Master got into trouble, many people stood on his side.
But ever since that incident, many people have begun to turn against him, not to mention that the Eighth Prince is still under house arrest by the Fourth Master, and there is no word on when the confinement will be lifted.
Based on the emperor's attitude towards the Eighth Prince, many people know that the Eighth Prince has little chance of becoming the crown prince. Even though his abilities are quite good, judging from his previous management of the mansion, the emperor must be disappointed with the Eighth Prince.
Therefore, in this battle to select the crown prince, the two people who currently have the greatest hope of becoming the crown prince are the Third Master and the Fourth Master.
After the morning court session ended today, on the way out of the palace, many people surrounded the Fourth Master and the Third Master, trying to find out something from them.
After all, this matter is of vital importance to them. If they stand with the right person, their future will be limitless. Everyone will be extremely cautious in this matter.
However, the Fourth Master did not want to get too involved with these ministers.
Now is a sensitive period, and he doesn't want the emperor to misunderstand him.
So when those people surrounded him, the Fourth Master found an excuse to get away and did not have much contact with them.
Although he wanted that position, he had to take his time and not be impatient.
The emperor is in good health now, so he is not in a hurry. Only by taking steady steps can the road ahead be smooth.
The Third Master didn't have so many concerns. Whenever he saw people coming to him to get close to him, he would accept them all.
This is a good opportunity to win people's hearts, and he certainly can't miss it.
As soon as the Fourth Master arrived at the palace gate, he heard someone calling him from behind.
"Fourth Brother~"
The Fourth Master paused and turned around to see his Sixth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth Brothers walking towards him.
"Fourth brother, you walk so fast that you disappear as soon as I turn around." Little Fourteen came over and joked with a smile.
"What's up?"
The Fourth Master had a blank expression on his face and spoke in a very flat tone, but the three of them were already used to him being like this and didn't think anything of it.
"I have something to tell Fourth Brother. There are so many people outside now, so let's go back to your house first." Sixth Master said.
"Okay, let's go."
He came here today in a carriage, and when he left, he and his group also left in a carriage.
When everyone returned to the Fourth Master's residence, they went straight to the study.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" The Fourth Master asked them to sit down and talk.
"Fourth brother, what do you think of what was said in the court today?"
The topic of discussion in the court today is naturally still the matter of appointing an imperial physician.
To be honest, Sixth Master supports his fourth brother more. Among all of them, the fourth brother's ability is the most outstanding. Whenever the emperor assigns a task to the fourth brother, the fourth brother can complete it excellently.
He believed that if his fourth brother became the crown prince, he would definitely be able to do better than the deposed crown prince.
"Yes, Fourth Brother, we all support you. As long as you give us an order, we will go through fire and water to do it." Little Thirteen supported him.
When the crown prince was deposed, he was almost imprisoned in the palace by the emperor's father. It was his fourth brother who rescued him.
Otherwise, he would probably still be imprisoned in the mansion.
So no matter what Fourth Brother wants to do, he will do his best to help him.
"That's right, I also support Fourth Brother. When I become the general, I will help Fourth Brother stabilize the rear." Little Fourteen patted his chest and promised.
Although he had wanted to be the crown prince before, he was only fit to be a general. He felt that he was not as good as his fourth brother in becoming the crown prince and governing state affairs.
Anyway, Fourth Brother is his biological brother, and he would have no objection as long as Fourth Brother became the Crown Prince.
Moreover, his fourth brother was very good to him since he was a child. Although he had a stern face, he was still very nice to him. Most of his martial arts were taught to him by his fourth brother, and he also taught him a lot about military operations.
It can be said that most of his current achievements are due to the help of his fourth brother.
So as long as Fourth Brother gave the order, he would stand by his side unwaveringly.
"Shut up, don't talk about these things."
Although he had this idea, he was also afraid that their words would be heard by others and would get them into trouble. It was the Emperor's decision who would be the Crown Prince.
If what they said reached the ears of the Emperor, it would definitely cause them trouble, which was something the Fourth Master did not want to see.
Little Thirteen: "We're not saying anything nonsense. I know what Fourth Brother is worried about. We only dare to talk about this here. We definitely won't say anything nonsense outside."
The Sixth Master said with a serious face, "Fourth Brother, right now, you and Third Brother are the most popular figures in the court. The Emperor will appoint a new Crown Prince sooner or later. If Third Brother becomes Crown Prince, he will definitely be wary of you and us. This is not a question of whether we should fight for it or not, but a question of whether we must fight for it."
Since the deposed crown prince, the third brother has been very active, trying to win over the ministers everywhere.
They were worried that if the fourth brother did not respond and make a decision in time, the more supporters the third brother had, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.
If the third brother really becomes the crown prince, they will definitely become thorns in his eyes. At that time, they will be attacked from all sides, and their lives may be in danger in order to maintain his position as the crown prince.
