At this moment, Qingchuan felt the pain in her chest. She trembled and asked, "Fourth brother, are you okay?"
When Si elder brother saw her hurt like this, he asked himself what he was doing first. He was even more moved and hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
Qingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, he was fine, he was the future emperor, and it would be great if something happened. Did she count as saving his life like this? Will it be recorded in history books in the future? Thinking about this, Qingchuan couldn't help showing a smile, and his mind was relieved, and he fainted suddenly.
In the distance, the leader of the assassin had been beheaded by Si elder brother's entourage. For the rest of the moment, seeing that the assassination could not be achieved, the leader was killed again, and he dispersed all at once. The entourage hurriedly flew over and knelt down in front of the fourth elder brother, apologizing: "The slave is not good at protecting the master, please punish the fourth master."
Si elder brother didn't care about this at the moment. Qingchuan was seriously injured and it was unpredictable. Only to go to Beijing to find a doctor soon could save her life. He hugged Qingchuan and flew on his horse, and said coldly: "Go back to Beijing now!"
The entourage glanced at Qingchuan in Si elder brother's arms, and saw that there was a dagger sticking out of her chest, and blood was constantly pouring out of the wound, so he persuaded him: "Si Ye, this girl is seriously injured. I am afraid that she will not be able to hold on. In the capital, the minion knew that there was a doctor with good medical skills in the nearby town, so it's better to send this girl there first."
Brother Si looked at Qingchuan, whose face was like golden paper in his arms, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Let's go!"
The entourage took the fourth elder brother to a medical clinic in a nearby town. The doctor was surprised when he saw Qingchuan’s injuries. First, he used a silver needle to protect her heart, so he was careful. He drew the dagger and sighed with Si elder brother who was guarding the side: "The eccentric pulse is only a little bit, and the wound will be hard to save if it is more than an inch. Master, you can apply medicine to her every day according to my prescription. I'll be fine by the day."
Si elder brother instructed people to follow the doctor to get the medicine, while he sat down by the bed and looked at Qingchuan who was sleeping in a daze. Shouldn't she be guarding the mausoleum? How could she end up here and mix with the victims? Could it be that there is a conspiracy? But if there is a conspiracy, why would she go to block the sword for him regardless of life and death
His heart was extremely complicated for a while. For such a woman, he had been angry, laughed, lost, and unabashedly proud in front of her, and even tried every means to kill her. He never thought that she would save him in the end. life.
He sat silently like this in the middle of the night. He had the intention to get rid of Qingchuan for a hundred, but he heard that Qingchuan called his name several times in a coma, but the already very hard heart couldn't get down. He looked at Qingchuan quietly for a while, got up and left the room, divided two entourages and stayed to take care of Qingchuan, and drove to the capital by himself.
In the capital, the four elder brothers were ordered to track down the deficit of the treasury, which caused panic.
Longkodo rushed to see Kangxi before Si elder brother met him, and stopped him outside the Qianqing Palace, carefully reminding him: "Si elder brother is wrong about this matter, although the emperor has a will to ask you to pursue the deficit in the treasury, but he does not want to make people complain about it. It's boiling, now many ministers have said that Si elder brother, you are reckless, and the ministers are chilling. Even the emperor does not like it."
Si elder brother nodded and said: "I didn't expect things to develop to this point, but without some powerful means, the treasury's money would not be able to get back at all."
Longcord sighed in a low voice: "How many times have I told you that there is a way to please the emperor, and you must not harm the interests of others, otherwise the emperor alone will support it, and it will be useless if others do not support it."
Brother Si fell silent, and said after a while: "I was assassinated outside Beijing, I am afraid it is also related to this matter."
Longcord was taken aback when he heard that, and he mused for a moment and said, "Now that the Eighth Brother Party is very powerful, the Fourth Brother still has to be more cautious. Let's find a chance to win over the hearts of the people. Okay, let's go in quickly. Don't make the emperor wait for it. ."
Si elder brother nodded, and went into the warm pavilion of Qianqing Palace with Longcordo.
Kangxi was thinner than before, but still in good spirits. After asking the fourth elder brother about the situation in the disaster area, he turned to ask Longcorduo: "More and more victims are flooding into the capital. Can you think of a way to resettle?"
Longkodo is embarrassed: "The treasury is short of both banks, and the household has more than enough energy but not enough..."
Kangxi snorted coldly, interrupted Longcordor's words, and said angrily: "I asked you to check the shortfalls. You checked the sky and the people complained, and you didn't see how much money was recovered. He also said that he would mobilize the big households in Beijing to take in the victims, but for several days. In the past, there was no movement. That's how you handled the errands for me?"
Si elder brother and Long Kodo both dared not speak out, kneeling on the ground and bowing their heads to listen to the training.
Li Dequan came in fearfully from outside, took a careful look at Kangxi, and whispered: "The emperor, the eighth brother is asking to see you outside."
Kangxi was angry and calmed down a lot, and said lightly: "Send him in."
After a while, the eighth elder brother, who was long and jade, came in with a brocade box and handed it to Li Dequan to Kangxi, saying: "Huang Ama, Erchen has already raised 300,000 taels of silver and is preparing to build four shelters in the capital. To accommodate all the refugees who are idle in the capital."
When Kangxi heard this, he couldn't help being a little surprised. He glanced at Si Ge and Long Ke Duo, and said in amazement: "Oh?"
Eighth-age lowered his head slightly and replied politely: "I think it's impossible for the state treasury to come up with money to help the victims. If you want the big households to take in the victims, the big households will have resentment in their hearts. Instead of this, It would be better to let them pay some money to build a few shelters soon."
Kangxi nodded slowly and asked, "Are they willing to pay?"
"They were not willing, so the sons and ministers promised them that the Ministry of Households issued a document indicating the number, which was considered to be borrowed from them by the state. When the treasury becomes sufficient in the coming year, it will be returned to them, and a small interest will be promised." Ba Ge said Then, he knelt down on the ground with his robe horns and kowtowed to Kangxi. Then he continued: "I am in a hurry to follow the authority, and the old man is the master without telling Emperor Ama of Ming Dynasty. He also asks Emperor Ama to forgive him. "
Kangxi laughed loudly when he heard it, and came down to personally help Ba Age, and smiled: "Get up, you solved a big problem for me, why should I blame you?"
Eighth prince heard this with a sincere smile on his face. Kangxi praised him a few more words, which made him go down with Si Age, Long Kodo and others.
Seeing that Kangxi's mood had improved, Li Dequan had the courage to bring the green head card of the imperial concubine's bed, and asked Kangxi to choose it. Kangxi glanced casually, but waved his hand and said, "Go to Defei and sit down."
Li Dequan knew that Kangxi was reminiscent of the past, and often went to sit with some imperial concubines who had been in the palace for a long time, and hurriedly greeted people to drive to Yonghe Palace.
In Yonghe Palace, Jade was talking to Concubine De Fei about a strange incident that had happened recently in the palace, saying that it was a little eunuch in the Shangyi Room who went to Kunning Palace and hanged himself. De Fei suddenly thought of the prince coming to her palace a few days ago to ask An Shi to wear the dragon robe by mistake, and then whispered to Jade: "You go to Kunning Palace to have a look, but the prince’s python robe is inside. ."
Jade replied: "The slave and maid also thought of this place. I have already seen it. I found the prince's python robe from the closet of the Xi Nuan Pavilion. It was very similar to the dragon robe that I wore by mistake that day. Obviously someone He secretly dropped the two pieces of clothes and deliberately framed the prince."
Concubine De Fei nodded softly when she heard the words. That day, the prince came to Yonghe Palace wearing a dragon robe. She found out that she was busy calling the prince to change. Who knows that the emperor has arrived before the emperor has come. Obviously someone has done this. After telling the emperor, it was the jade's cleverness that he eagerly changed the five claws on the dragon's robe to four claws, the five claws were dragons, and the four claws were pythons, which barely covered the past.
But who is going to frame the prince? Is it the fourth or the eighth? Just thinking about it, there was a letter from the little eunuch outside, saying that the emperor was coming here, and De Fei didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she tidied up her makeup and greeted her.
Kangxi came to Yonghe Palace but was speechless, only sitting quietly on the couch. Concubine De Fei took a careful look at him, took a cup of ginseng tea and handed it to Kangxi, and asked in a low voice, "What does the emperor think?"
Kangxi took the tea, put it aside, and replied: "I am thinking about the prince, the fourth and the eighth..."
De Fei was shocked when she heard it, and asked softly: "What happened to the three of them?"
Kangxi sighed lowly and said: "The prince is kind, if he is a benevolent monarch in a peaceful and prosperous age, he is just indecisive and too independent, I am afraid that he will be led by the nose. The fourth child is a talent, willing to endure hardship, and also learned, but He is moody and unpredictable. If you are born in a troubled time, you can do something. If you are in a peaceful and prosperous time, I am afraid that too many killings will damage your yin. It is still a good old man, who can advance and retreat and defend, and there is a golden mean. , And not sloppy... why don't you talk?"
De Fei smiled softly, "The concubine is listening to the emperor."
Kangxi looked up at her and asked, "What do you think?"
De Fei couldn't figure out what he meant by asking her like this. After thinking about it, she asked, "Isn't the prince already decided?"
I heard Kangxi sighed for a long time and said: "I'm afraid he can't pick it up."
Concubine De smiled softly and asked Kangxi in a soft voice: "The concubine is just a concubine in the harem. Besides, one of the three elder brothers is the biological concubine. What did the emperor ask the concubine to say?"
Kangxi didn't care, but said lightly: "I know you have always been fair, and I want to hear your opinion."
Concubine De groaned a little, and said: "In fact, what the emperor said makes sense, but the emperor’s elder brother is not limited to these three people. Not to mention the older brothers third and fifth, they are thirteen and fourteen. All of them are talents. The emperor is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and sometimes it is time to watch and observe slowly. If you make a decision too early, if you make a decision, then you will be abolished, it will hurt the feelings of father and son like the matter of the prince."
Kangxi nodded slowly, and said softly: "Ai Concubine is very reasonable. It seems that I have to think about it, and think about it..."
Concubine De concubine thought for a while, picked up the ginseng tea on the table, put it back into Kangxi's hands, and said with a smile: "The old fourteen is thinking of his emperor Ama, and he specially brought some western tea from Xinjiang. The emperor has to taste it. Have a taste."
Kangxi listened, and a little smile appeared on his heavy face, and asked Concubine De: "How is the old fourteen? How is he getting used to the life over there?"
