The ministers looked at each other privately, and then all crawled on the ground, shouting: "The emperor's sage!"
Kangxi slowly turned his head to look at Ba Age, and then asked: "Old Ba, what do you mean by yourself?"
The eighth prince also knelt down in a hurry, and said loudly: "If you return to Huang Ama, the ministers will lift them up. How can your son, how can you be a great responsibility?"
Kangxi sneered suddenly, and said sarcastically: "You know yourself!"
Everyone in the hall was taken aback for a moment, and then they heard Kangxi's cold voice: "The eighth elder brother is born of a maidservant from Kujian, who is not qualified to be the crown prince at all, according to the bloodline. Please don't propose it anymore, otherwise. I will feel that you have formed a party for personal gain and have a conspiracy."
There was silence in the hall, and the ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to speak. Eighth elder brother knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth tightly, his hands in his sleeves were already tightly clenched into fists.
Then he heard Kangxi ask: "How is the situation on the old fourteen side?"
Si elder brother stood up and replied in a respectful voice: "If you return to Huang Ama, the fourteenth brother is fighting in Yili, Xinjiang, and there will be good news in the next few days."
Kangxi nodded after hearing this, and ordered: "Go on and give him the title of "Great General King" and reward him with a reward of ten thousand silver, so that he can reward the three armies well."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked again. Kangxi first demoted the eighth elder brother, and then lifted the fourteenth elder brother. The ownership of the crown prince became obvious. After the early dynasty was over, the number of ministers who gathered around the eighth prince suddenly became much less. Eighth brother didn't care, just stood up from the ground silently, turned and walked out.
Elder Brother Nine and Elder Ten embraced the injustice for him, and hurriedly followed up, persuading him: "Mynah, Huang Ama has been suffering from illness recently, and her temper is inevitably bad. Don't take his words to your heart."
Eighth prince smiled bitterly and shook his head. He ignored the two of them, and only walked outside the palace alone. As early as a few years ago, he had moved out of Yongshou Palace with Qingchuan and opened a mansion outside. By coincidence, he became neighbors with Si Age.
Back in the mansion, Qingchuan was waiting for him to eat. Seeing that he looked wrong, she couldn't help but burst into her heart. She still remembered that Kangxi died in the 61st year of Kangxi in history. If I remember correctly, it would have been these two days. Is it possible that something has changed in the DPRK and China? Qingchuan suppressed the suspicion in his heart, and asked him: "What's the matter? Something is going on in the court?"
Eighth brother didn't answer, but said: "Qingchuan, the two of us haven't had a drink for a long time. We have a bar today."
Qingchuan looked at him deeply, did not continue to question, only nodded, and went to bring him a drink in person. Eighth elder brother didn't persuade Qingchuan, but he was drunk alone with his head down, and soon became drunk. Qingchuan didn't dare to ask him to drink any more, so he grabbed the flask in his hand, and persuaded: "With a knife, the water will flow more, and a toast will be more worrying, why bother?"
Eighth Brother looked up at her, and said in a bitter voice: "I don't care if Huang Ama appointed me as the prince, but why did he humiliate me in public? Yes, I was born of Xin Zheku's low servant, if he looks down on Xin. Zheku’s cheap maid, why should she be fortunate to her? Why should I have me?"
Qingchuan was speechless, and said quietly after a moment of silence: "Why don't you think about it from another angle? He is Empress Ai Liang, too deep, and can't bear the disappearance of Concubine Liang, so he angered you."
Ba Age's eyes are already a bit blurred. As soon as he was born, Liang Concubine was imprisoned in Chengqian Palace by Kangxi. He grew up in Hui Concubine Palace and did not have a deep relationship with Liang Concubine. Later Liang Concubine suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and he had been hurt for a while, but as time passed, the sadness gradually faded. He said in a bewildered voice: "It's been so many years..."
Qingchuan shook his head gently, "Some pains cannot be healed by time."
Eighth elder brother looked at the wine glass in his hand lonely and muttered to himself: "That's not what I can control. I have worked very hard in the past few years, but why Huang Ama just can't see my efforts?"
Qingchuan squatted down next to him, supported his knees with both hands, and asked softly, "Do you remember a sentence you said fourteen years ago? Just be ashamed of everything, and how others don’t. important."
"But..."
"No but," Qingchuan said in a deep voice, with a bright light in his eyes, "I'm still by your side, am I?"
Eighth prince nodded, his emotions finally calmed down, "I can only think so now. Fortunately, the person Huang Ama likes is the fourteenth brother. Based on our friendship, he will not treat me. How's it going." He smiled comfortingly, and stretched out his hand to caress Qingchuan’s cheek, and said softly: "Qingchuan, when the overall situation is certain, we will leave here, okay? Let’s go to Jiangnan, outside the Great Wall, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and we live our life. OK?"
His voice was very soft, but full of faint joy and boundless yearning. Qingchuan heard it and felt sore in her heart. She wanted to say a "good" word, but her lips seemed to weigh too much, making her unable to Say the word. If the fourteenth elder brother becomes the throne, everything is easy to say, but she knows that the final winner is not fourteenth elder brother, but... Fourth elder brother, how can he allow them to leave
Eighth elder brother still looked at Qingchuan quietly, she forced a smile to herself, and replied: "I listen to you everything, you are tired, let's sleep for a while."
He nodded docilely, and Qingchuan helped him into the bedroom to rest. Qingchuan sat on the edge of the bed, watching him fall asleep, and then walked out of the bedroom to the courtyard. The air was full of chills, and Qingchuan's heart was also cold. Seeing Kangxi was about to die, what could she do to keep Ba Ge and this home
A confidant servant hurried in from outside, walked to Qingchuan and whispered a report: "Fujin, Longcord and Nian Gengyao secretly entered the Yongwang Mansion at night."
Qingchuan raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard this. She vaguely remembered Kangxi's death in November this year, but she couldn't remember exactly when it was. In order to avoid being caught off guard, she ordered someone to secretly monitor the Yongwang Mansion next to her a few days ago, and pay close attention to the brother's brother. The behavior, but nothing unusual has been found. But today, why did Long Kedo and Nian Gengyao enter the Yongwang Mansion late at night? Has the palace changed
At this moment, I will tell the nine elder brothers and ten elder brothers that it is too late. Qingchuan pondered for a moment, and instructed the confidant to say: "You will quietly pick some good guards from the house and put them in military uniforms. Remember , Must be secret, don't let people discover it. Then ask people to continue to look at the Yongwang Mansion, and report to me as soon as there is any movement."
The confidant nodded and went hurriedly.
Qingchuan let out a sigh of relief, and turned to look in the direction of the Emperor Yong's Mansion. There, I'm afraid he was planning nervously.
In the Yongwang Mansion, Si elder brother handed a note from the pigeon's leg to Longcord, and said in a deep voice: "There is news from the palace that Huang Ama's illness is probably not good."
Longkodo and Gu Xiaochun were both taken aback when they heard it. They looked at each other, and both saw the unconcealed tension and excitement in each other's eyes. Longcord suppressed the excitement, and said to the fourth elder brother: "It seems that God will also help us. The fourteenth elder brother will be away. It will take time to come back. If the emperor dies at this moment, then the opportunity is ours. Up."
Si elder brother thought of this too, he thought about it, nodded lightly, and ordered: "Uncle, if Huang Ama is seriously ill, he will definitely call all the ministers into the palace to meet, you first go to the Qing Palace to block it. It depends on the situation, we will see the opportunity."
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Longcordor responded, turning around and walking away quickly.
Si elder brother looked at Gu Xiaochun again, "General Nian, you encircle the entire Forbidden City with the imperial guards. If the plan fails, we will retreat."
Gu Xiaochun also led the way.
There were only four elder brothers and Su Yan left in the room. Su Yan looked at him and asked softly: "When will you enter the palace?"
Si elder brother dignifiedly sat on the chair and replied: "Wait a moment, wait until your uncle enters the palace. I have to stagger the time with him."
In the courtyard adjacent to it, Qingchuan had already received news that Longkodo and Nian Gengyao had hurriedly left the Yongwang mansion. Soon there was news that Longkodo went straight into the palace, and Nian Gengyao mobilized the Imperial Guard.
So things are going to happen tonight? Qingchuan was silent for a long while, gritted his teeth, and personally took the nursing homes dressed as soldiers, and hung in an ambush on the way the Si elder brother entered the palace. After only waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, I saw Brother Si bringing a few entourages galloping from the other side of the street.
Qingchuan issued a secret signal, and the nursing homes rushed out of the dark, and surrounded the four elder brothers in the center.
Si elder brother was startled and asked sternly, "Who
Qingchuan stepped forward from behind the crowd and replied faintly: "It's me."
Brother Si was even more shocked when he saw Qingchuan, "Qingchuan, what are you going to do?"
Qingchuan sneered and asked, "I should ask Si elder brother for this sentence. The emperor did not summon Si elder brother. What does Si elder brother do when he enters the palace so late?"
Si elder brother did not speak, and listened to her to continue to say: "Long Kodo-sama is waiting at the Palace of Qianqing, and Xiaochun is guarding at Shenwumen again. What Si elder brother is going to do is already in the heart of Sima Zhao-everyone knows."
Si elder brother jumped off the horse and walked to Qingchuan, fixedly looking at her, and asked softly: "Do you want to kill me?"
Qingchuan sneered and replied: "I'm not that stupid. You are all here and there. If I really move you, will my eighth brother and I survive?"
Brother Si asked again: "Then what do you want to do?"
Qingchuan took out a blank imperial decree, handed it to him, and said: "Make a deal with you. There is a blank imperial decree here. I want you to agree that once you become the emperor, you will make Ba Ge a Prince Lian. , Never hurt him."
Si elder brother did not answer, just looked at Qingchuan and asked: "How dare you be sure that I will promise you?"
Qingchuan smiled softly, slowly leaning to his ear, and replied in a calm and almost cruel voice: "Because you have no choice. The soldiers and horses of Brother Nine and Brother Ten have entered the city, although they can't follow Your guards are better than you, but once there is a struggle in the capital, how many disputes will you have when you become an emperor in the future? And you know how much damage these disputes will cause. We are just asking for peace. I believe Si elder brothers don’t. Will it end for a mere imperial decree, right?"
She was planning like this, but it was another man. The pain he pressed in his heart began to spread upwards layer by layer, seeming to pierce his heart, and it was painful that he even had difficulty breathing. Si elder brother laughed suddenly and clapped his hands lightly: "Okay, well, I really have a delicate mind and thoughtfulness. I promise you that I will bring the imperial decree."
