Qingchuan didn't speak, but calmly handed over the imperial decree. After he signed the name on it, he took it and carefully placed the life-saving letter, and then knelt in front of him, kowtowing: " May the emperor long live long live long live long live."
Si elder brother ignored her, stiffened and walked to the horse, then turned on the horse again, and flicked the rein and galloped towards the palace.
The clothes behind Qingchuan had already been soaked with sweat for several layers, still crawling on the ground, and did not get up for a long time. There is only this she can do for Ba Age, and all that is left is to comply with the destiny.
In the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi was almost in a coma. Longkoduo stuffed a bowl of ginseng soup into the hands of Brother Si, and whispered: "Everyone has been taken away by me. If you do it now, the world will be ours."
Si elder brother understood his hint and nodded gently. After he went out, he walked to the bed with Shentang and quietly looked at Kangxi who was in a coma. I don't know when Huang Ama has grown old. At this moment, lying on the bed has no majesty of the past, only Longzhong is old.
The throne is right in front of him, but he can't do it anymore. Here lies not only Emperor Kangxi, but also his father. He once loved and respected Huang Ama. For the throne, is it really necessary to annihilate this remaining conscience
Si elder brother was hesitating, but suddenly he heard Kangxi on the bed asking: "Why don't you do it?"
Si elder brother was startled, the bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a "pop", and it fell to pieces. The sound made him come back to his senses, and he squatted on the ground, yelling: "Huang Ama..."
Kangxi coughed and stood up strenuously and sat up, sighing: "Seeing that the throne is about to be handed in, I didn't expect you to be soft-hearted. How can you tell me to give you this burden?"
Si elder brother raised his head to look at Kangxi, and was stunned for a while.
Kangxi pointed to a "Begonia Spring Sleeping Picture" on the opposite wall and asked him: "Have you seen the painting in front? There is my will behind it. Take it over and take a look."
Si elder brother was in chaos. Hearing this, he got up from the ground and walked to the front of the painting, took out a brocade box hidden behind the painting, and looked back at Kangxi.
Kangxi only said lightly: "Open it, read it to me."
Si elder brother opened the brocade box, took out the edict in it, and unfolded it softly and said: "Li Si elder brother Yinzhen is the prince. Huang Ama, this..."
Kangxi nodded gently, "Since the last assassination of the old thirteen, I have decided to make you the prince."
Si elder brother was even more puzzled, and said aloud: "But Huang Ama doesn't value his children."
Kangxi said: "This reserve is a piece of fat, you mother, old eight, old nine, old ten, and the ministers in the court, which one is not eyeing? If I announce that you are the prince, I am afraid your life I will live as unreliable as the first prince. Instead of that, it’s better to put you aside and spoil the old eight and fourteen so that people in both schools think that they will have the opportunity to be the prince. At that time, I will give you a chance to be a prince. If they want to rebel, it’s too late."
"It turns out that Huang Ama had planned." Si elder brother now understands why Kangxi didn't ask him to participate too much in the affairs of the court. It turned out to be a deliberate protection for him.
Kangxi smiled slightly and continued: "What I think is more than that simple. Do you think I really don't know the true identity of Gengyao that year? I haven't exposed him. That's because I asked him to support you with all his strength. And Longcordo, I have been with him for so many years, don't you think I don't know what kind of calculation he has in mind? I want to lay a smooth road for you, so that you can carry forward my Qing Dynasty wholeheartedly. "
Si elder brother admired and feared Kangxi at the moment. Hearing the words, he squatted on the ground and said: "The child minister understands, the child minister must abide by the emperor's decree. Be diligent and love the people, and manage the Qing Dynasty well."
Kangxi smiled comfortingly, raised his eyes to look outside, stopped, and said: "This is great. The sky is about to dawn, the sun is coming out, and my time is running out. Help me look at the sky again. How good is your sun?"
Saying that he has stood up from the bed. Seeing him suddenly like this, Si elder brother was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this was a flashback, he was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Kangxi and walked slowly to the window.
Outside the window, the eastern sky was gradually brighter, and after a while, thousands of rays of light radiated through the clouds.
Kangxi sighed softly, and said softly, "The ruler is like the sun in the sky, so that everyone in this world can feel its light and heat, even if one day it will eventually set the sun, However, when it rises again the next day, it will still shine. Whether I am an emperor or you are an emperor, no matter who is the emperor, you must remember that grace is the world and blessing the people is the most important thing."
Kangxi's voice was getting smaller and smaller, and finally there was no sound in the end.
On November 13, Kangxi's 61st year, Kangxi died in the palace. When Ba Ge and others got the news and rushed to the palace, the whole situation has been controlled by Ba Ge. Long Kodo walked out of the inner hall and read Kangxi’s will. The reckless Ten Elder brother jumped up first and shouted: "Impossible. This is definitely not what Huang Ama meant. Fourth brother, we all come back from outside. , How could you get out of it? Did you murder Huang Ama and plot to usurp the throne?"
Brother Si hadn't spoken yet, Longcord had already flushed anxiously, and said angrily: "Brother Ten, you must not spit people. Brother Si is here to come in."
Brother Jiu asked coldly: "Feng Zhao, where is the edict?"
Longkodo choked, "This... is an oral statement."
Jiu elder brother sneered and said: "Hesitating, there is clearly a ghost. I don't accept this imperial decree."
Ten elder brother also responded: "I'm not convinced either."
The two of them took the lead in making trouble, and the ministers of the "Eight Ye Party" of the DPRK and the Central Committee also responded one after another. For a time, there was chaos in the court. Gu Xiaochun heard the noisy inside, afraid of recurring incidents, so he led the guards into the main hall and surrounded the eighth elder brother and nine elder brothers.
Brother Jiu drew his sword at first sight, and said angrily: "Okay, do you still dare to lead soldiers to surround the palace? I will seek justice for Huang Ama even if the blood is splashed on this."
When the two sides were at war, they saw Jade running in from outside and shouted: "Stop!"
Everyone looked at her together, and heard her say loudly: "The Concubine De Fei has a purpose, and it has changed a lot. Everyone is in a bad mood. I hope you don't conflict here, so as not to disturb the Emperor Daxing."
Si elder brother was also afraid that the two parties would actually start hands in the court, and upon hearing the words, he replied: "The sons and ministers follow the decree."
Jade walked up to Ba Ge and the others again, and saluted: "The Concubine Defei asked Ba Ge, Jiu Ge, and Shi to go to Yonghe Palace for a comment."
Eighth elder brother understands that Nian Gengyao is in control of the military. If there is a real disturbance at this moment, his own side will definitely suffer. He and Jiu elder brother and Shi elder brother looked at each other, turned and followed Jade to Yonghe Palace.
De Fei was dressed in a plain dress, with red eyes waiting in the Yonghe Palace. Seeing that eight princes and the others were all coming with the emerald, they hurriedly greeted him and said, "Thank you three princes for giving face to this palace. The palace has an explanation to the Emperor Daxing."
Eighth elder brother saluted the Concubine De, and said without humbleness: "The Concubine De concubine asked us to come here only to persuade us to submit and let your son be the emperor. I'm sorry, we can't do it."
The nine princes beside him also snorted coldly and said, "Huang Ama died strangely. I am afraid that someone will commit a disturbance. As the lord of the harem, Empress Defei should not be cronyism to protect your son."
De Fei shook her head and sighed: "The three have misunderstood. This is not what this palace meant. This palace called the three to figure out the whole story. The palace has been in the palace for more than 30 years and has been favored by the emperor. It’s a shame to manage the sixth house. Now, the fourth child has become an emperor by accident, and this palace can’t even dream of it. The most important thing at the moment is to check things out. If it’s really like what you said, the fourth child did this. This palace will not treat anything that is rebellious or unruly."
Eighth elder brother and the others were surprised when they heard this. They didn’t expect Concubine De to say such words. Eighth elder brother calmed down a bit and asked tentatively: "What does that empress mean..."
De Fei took a deep breath and replied: "The princes and ministers are all here. As long as they oppose the new emperor's accession to the throne and fully investigate the sudden death of the emperor, it will definitely come to light. As for the Imperial Guard, don't worry, this palace. The old fourteenth has been rushed to the court, as long as his soldiers and horses arrive, there is no need to hesitate at all."
Eighth elder brother nodded, and immediately understood De Fei's thoughts. Obviously she also didn't want to succeed the eldest son, she thought it was the fourteenth eldest son. At the moment, if I want to fight for the throne, I don't have much chance of winning, but I might as well help the fourteenth brother up. With the relationship with the fourteenth brother, they can also get a good result.
Thinking of this, Ba Age gave a solemn salute to Concubine De, and said: "The empress is so profound and righteous, I will admire it, and I will definitely regard the empress as her head."
The other two should also reconcile: "The head of the horse is looking forward to the mother and mother."
Concubine De's eyes blushed and said: "This palace is born with this rebellious son. I am really ashamed of the emperor and Daqing. The three elders understand the righteousness and give the palace a chance to redeem their merits. I thank you ."
After finishing speaking, he stood up and bowed to the three of Ba Ge, who was so frightened that Ba Ge and others hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "The empress is serious."
Seeing him doing this, De Fei felt a little calm, and indeed couldn't help but cry softly. She worked hard for decades, just wanting the fourteenth elder brother to become the emperor, but she didn’t expect Kangxi’s sudden death. It was the fourth elder who got the will, how willing she was, but the fourteenth leader was not in Beijing when she was outside. Right now she can only form an alliance with the old eighth, so that the old four can't ascend the throne, and she drags her back until the fourteenth.
The eighth elder brother and the others were so sad when they saw De Fei crying, they couldn’t help crying. Ten elder brother even cried: "I don’t know when Huang Ama left, but I didn’t even call a few of our brothers to see you. one side."
