As he was talking, he saw Li Dequan, who was staying in the Palace of the Qing Dynasty, hurried in from the outside and said to the eighth elder brother: "The fourth elder brother is afraid that several elder brothers and the concubine De consort will join forces to mobilize the princes and ministers to prevent him from ascending the throne. The heirs of the ministers are all summoned to the palace as hostages. If the princes and ministers dare to act rashly, they will die, and let these people be sent to their end."

Eighth brother and the others were taken aback when they heard this, and asked, "Is what you said is true?"

Li Dequan said anxiously: "The old slave is listening behind the curtain and listening."

Concubine De was a little panicked and cried: "How can this be good? This rebellious son did this, which shows that he has a guilty conscience. If he succeeds again, the palace will die in the future, and there will be no face to see the Emperor Daxing again."

Eighth elder brother groaned for a moment and said, "Niangniang, don’t worry, this matter is easy to handle." As he said, he turned his head and instructed Jiu and Shi: "Lao Jiu, Lao Shi go out of the palace first. The child was brought into the palace, and I arranged for the princes and ministers to confront the fourth elder brother, but I wanted to see how did the fourth elder threaten the princes and ministers?"

After speaking, the three of them hurriedly walked out, and De Fei chased after him and said: "Be careful in everything."

After everyone had gone out, Jade walked behind Concubine De, and asked with some worry: "Master, if they dismount the four elders and make themselves king, don't we make wedding clothes for others?"

Concubine De no longer had the panic on her face, and whispered: "Don't be afraid. The old fourteen has the military power. Isn't it easy to clean up these people by then?"

Jade was taken aback, and praised: "Snipe and clam fight, the fisherman gains. The master is really high."

De Fei shook her head slightly, "People are always inferior to the sky, so you must be careful about everything. Go to the Qing Palace and watch it, and report back as soon as you have news."

Jade nodded and went hurriedly.

In the evening, Jade came back with an anxious expression, and said anxiously when he came in, "It's not good, my lord, all the princes and ministers have already expressed their surrender to Si elder brother."

De Fei was taken aback when she heard it, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"

Jade replied in a flustered manner: "Today, Mr. Li sent a fake, and now the princes and ministers are controlled by the fourth elder brother, which is already a sign of surrender."

It turns out that the fourth elder brother had long known that Li Dequan was the eyeliner of the eighth elder brother, and simply deliberately used him to spread false news. When the eighth elder brother was questioning the true or false of the fourth elder brother's will with the princes and ministers, the nine elder brothers and tenth elder brothers took the sons of the princes and ministers to the temple, because those heirs were all from the camp, and they carried swords with them. . According to the law of the Qing Dynasty, those who carried the sword were not allowed to go to the temple without an edict, otherwise they would be regarded as the crime of genocide. Si elder brother caught this handle all at once and forced the people to behead their heirs first, showing their selflessness. Everyone was unprepared and was caught off guard by him.

Seeing that those people were silent for a while, Si elder brother promised that if he admitted that he was the emperor, he would not be held accountable, but if he was prevented from ascending the throne, he would behead their son first.

After listening to Jade's words, Concubine De Fei felt her legs soft, and she immediately sat down on the chair. It was over, everything was over now.

On November 16th, Si Age Yinzhen announced the decree of Kangxi, the emperor on the 20th, changed the name to Yongzheng, and Zun Defei was the queen mother. Concubine De, however, refused to move to Ningshou Palace, only crying and saying that she would be buried for Emperor Daxing. Emerald couldn't stop it, so he had to invite Yongzheng, who had ascended the throne as Emperor.

In the Yonghe Palace, Concubine De no longer had the gentle and demure state of the past, sitting on the bed motionless like a cock that was defeated in a fight. Jade led Yongzheng in and said: "The empress dowager, the emperor is here."

Concubine De Fei slowly raised her head and looked at Yongzheng, the fourth elder who was wearing a dragon robe. She waited for a while, but she smiled coldly and said, "This palace is just a concubine of the Emperor Daxing, how can I be worthy? Start with the word "Queen Dowager"?"

Yong's face changed slightly, he waved his hand to signal Jade to go out, then knelt in front of Concubine De, and said bitterly, "Why can't you think about it?"

After hearing this, De Fei sneered: "You are now proud, so why bother with the frustrated person?"

Yongzheng was silent for a moment, raised his head to look at Concubine De, and asked: "I don't understand, what is the difference between me as the emperor and the fourteenth as the emperor? We are all your biological sons."

De Fei answered without thinking, "Is this different?"

"Where is it different?" Si elder brother asked.

For some reason, De Fei turned around and avoided his sight, only insisting: "It's different!"

Yongzheng stopped arguing with her. After stopping, he lowered his eyes slightly and said softly: "My son remembers that his son grew up next to Concubine Tong Jia. In order to see his son, E Niang always cautiously, walking on thin ice, not only You have to spend money to manage it, and you have to hide it from Huang Ama. Once Huang Ama finds out, you will still be punished. But after the punishment, Erniang still came to see her son. When he was seven years old, his son had chickenpox and got burnt It’s so hot and so hot, even the emperor’s doctors are helpless. But Eniang insisted on not giving up, dragging her pregnant body, and secretly taking care of her son. My son still remembers that Eniang kneeled in front of the Bodhisattva one night and made a wish, saying that if his son could be sick If it's good, you would rather have a ten-year life span. Because of this, my son called you Eniang for the first time.

He said something emotionally. De Fei's eyes were already red. She wiped her tears with her kerchief and whispered: "You still remember."

Yong Zheng nodded, "I don't understand. At the beginning, Eniang could be so good to his son. Why did it become like this later? What did the son do to make Eniang hate his son so much?"

Concubine De was silent for a while, turned back to look at Brother Si, and asked, "Do you really know why?"

Yongzheng shook his head and said, "Please, Niang, please express."

De Fei was stunned for a moment, her thoughts seemed to have gone back to a long time ago, she couldn't help but smiled sadly, and said: "This matter has been in my heart for many years. Now that everything is a foregone conclusion, I am not afraid to say it. I still remember you. Was Concubine Tong Jia suddenly pregnant when she was 10 years old?"

Yongzheng did not know why Concubine De had mentioned this, and nodded: "Remember. At that time, I was not too scared. I was afraid that Queen Tong Jia would have her own child and would no longer love me."

A weird smile suddenly appeared on De Fei's gentle face, and she said softly: "Not only you are afraid, I am also afraid."

Although decades have passed, the scene was as clear as it was right in front of her eyes.

It was one noon, and she ran to Yikun Palace by congratulating Concubine Tong Jia. On the surface, she congratulated Concubine Tong Jia, but actually wanted to see her son. When she got there, Concubine Tong Jia was taking a nap, and no one was waiting in the room, quietly. Seeing the newborn baby in the cradle, she couldn't help but look at the baby.

That kid is so cute, snow-white, and like a pink ball, she suddenly had a particularly evil thought. She thought, if Concubine Tong Jia had her own child, how would she treat her fourth eldest brother? Will she abuse you and him? Will you take good care of him

The more she thought about it, the more afraid she was, the more she thought about it, the more she was afraid, her hand reached into the cradle as if she was out of her control, and put the quilt on the child’s mouth and nose... When she came, no one saw it. She knows nothing, but when she turned to leave, she found her son was standing at the door looking at her. She was frightened all of a sudden, for fear that the fourth elder brother would wake up Concubine Tong Jia, and fear that he would have seen his evil deeds just now, so he hurriedly stepped forward and covered his eyes, pretending to play with him and cheat him. The Royal Garden...

"From then on, every time I see you, I think of that terrible noon. Every time you smile at me, I feel like you are taunting me. You said, mother, I know your secret, I know You are not a virtuous, virtuous and virtuous woman, I know..."

De Fei slowly turned her head to look at Yong Zheng and smiled sadly, "I also know what kind of person I am, but all people in the world will make excuses for their evil, and hope that others will see their good side. Time The longer I get, the more I reject you. I have been hypnotizing myself, you are not my son, you are proof of my crime..."

A huge boulder that had been in her heart for decades was lifted off in this way, and De Fei could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears.

Until this moment, Yong Zheng didn't understand why his mother hated him so much, and was so partial to the fourteenth brother... It turned out to be for this reason. He paused, stepped forward and held Concubine De's hand, and said in a warm voice: "Em mother, I don't know this. I only remember that you took me out to play that day. When I came back, my little brother died. do not know anything."

Concubine De Fei was taken aback for a while, but after a while she burst into laughter suddenly out of control, and said with a smile: "People really can't do bad things. Once they do, God will punish you. Look, I am now I got punished, I got punished..."

Yongzheng felt uncomfortable, and persuaded: "The son will not tell you about this. The son just hopes that Niang can spend her old age happily. As long as you are willing to let go, the son will let go. You rest, son. Goodbye first."

After speaking, he stood up and walked outside.

"Fourth!" Concubine De concubine suddenly summoned him, and pleaded: "No matter what, it's all for the sake of Mother E, spare your 14th brother, okay?"

Yong Zheng's body froze, and after a while, he faintly replied, "As long as he doesn't violate the laws of the country, his son will be open."

After speaking, he left without looking back.

Looking at her son's decisive back, De Fei couldn't help but burst into tears.

Soon, the fourteenth elder brother led his troops back from outside, intending to be intercepted by Nian Gengyao's soldiers and horses when he rushed into the palace, and Yongzheng ordered his Wang Jue to be ousted and reduced to Gushanbeizi.

In April of the first year of the Yongzheng period, after the Emperor Kangxi’s Zi Palace was transported to Jingling, Zunhua for burial, Yongzheng ordered the fourteenth elder brother to keep Tangquan near Jingling and not allowed to return to the capital, and ordered Ma Lanyu general soldier Fan Shiyi to monitor his actions. The disharmony and conflict between the brothers made De Fei, who was in extreme grief, aggravated his illness and died soon after.

Different from the suppression of the fourteenth princes, Yongzheng first ordered the eighth princes to make affairs, and then he was appointed as the prince of Heshuolian and awarded the prestigious books of the Lifan Academy. In the first year, he was also ordered to handle the affairs of the Ministry of Industry.

Everyone couldn't understand Yongzheng's thoughts, only that he wanted to abandon his previous suspicions and reuse Ba Age, and some people went to the Prince Lian's Mansion to Hexi. Qingchuan laughed bitterly when she heard it. How happy is she now? How could a person like Yongzheng let Ba Age go? Now this is just to temporarily stabilize Ba Age's mood.

Sure enough, while Yong Zheng tried to stabilize the eighth elder brother, he began to slowly dispose of the nine elder brothers, ten elder brothers, fourteenth elder brothers, and the Olundai, Sunu and others in the "Eight Ye Dang". Yongzheng dismissed those close to Ba Age to isolate him, and then accused him of inadequate handling. Although the piece of imperial decree in Qingchuan's hand saved Ba Age's life, it could not stop Yong Zheng's deliberate condemnation and humiliation for him.
