Chapter 744 Xue Hong returns to Beijing
Lord Kangxi's illness was indeed serious, and he was unconscious for several days.The princes took turns serving the sick, but they didn't even go home, and all lived in the palace, for fear that Kangxi would suddenly dominate Bintian.The princes in the palace and the Ministry of Rituals all prepared for the emperor's funeral and other matters early on. Firstly, they rush forward, and secondly, if they really reach that step, they will not be caught off guard.

The most important thing right now is Kangxi's condition. No one cares about other things. Even the memorial that caused Lord Kangxi to lose consciousness, Lao Ba and the others had no choice but to investigate secretly.But XZ, where the stele stands thousands of miles away, even if they want to send people to investigate in detail, it will take several months to go back and forth. I am afraid that the person sent to investigate has not arrived by then, but Lord Kangxi has already supported it. Can't stop.Lao Ba and the others were like ants on a hot pot, so anxious that they didn't know what to do.

And when Xue Hong saw the news that Lord Kangxi was seriously ill in the mansion newspaper, she was really surprised.Calculated according to the time, Lord Kangxi fell ill more than half a year earlier than the history he knew.Why do ordinary historical events happen in an orderly manner on weekdays? If the rhythm is changed at such an important time as Lord Kangxi is seriously ill, the time is wrong, so will the next thing happen also change accordingly?
He came with Di Bao, and Prince Yong ordered Xue Hong to return to Beijing urgently.Xue Hong didn't dare to delay, but hurriedly said goodbye to Wang Ziteng, and went to pack her luggage.Just before leaving, he was about to use the Water Dungeon, only to realize that it would take him half a month to reach the capital, so he turned back and sneaked into Nian Gengyao's mansion to steal something.

What Xue Hong stole was nothing but Nian Gengyao's private account book.Although Xue Hong hadn't seen this thing before, he knew that the content recorded on it was enough to make Nian Gengyao die a hundred times.

With the help of space and the power of spiritual pets, Xue Hongshou got Nian Gengyao's most important account book after wandering around Nian's mansion for a few days.Xue Hong opened it and saw that the evidence of Nian Gengyao's corruption was vivid in his mind. Xue Hong was filled with righteous indignation and wished to find a way to bring Nian Gengyao to justice immediately.

But then I thought about it, Emperor Kangxi is seriously ill now, and the court is about to change. Even if this book is presented to Prince Yong now, he will not have time to deal with Nian Gengyao.But what Nian Gengyao did was too infuriating. Just the property recorded in his account books was the fiscal revenue of several state capitals over the past few years.

The money is a small matter, but how many people have to be persecuted by those who come to give gifts to make up for these things?This seems to be an old account that records the contacts of officials, but in fact all the records are the blood and tears of the people of one side.This year, Gengyao has become a big cancer in the Qing Dynasty, and he must not continue to let it go. If Nian Gengyao is punished one day later, the people will suffer one more day.

But... what good way is there to cure Nian Gengyao without bothering Prince Yong?
Xue Hong flipped through the top-secret ledger obtained from the Nian Mansion, and stayed in the space thinking hard.Suddenly Xue Hong had an idea, why not put this book on the rivers and lakes for auction?
There is no need to really sell it, just set the price high to create the illusion that you are not satisfied with any price with the account book in hand. Gengyao has a book of evidence of embezzlement and perverting the law.

Nian Gengyao found out that the account book in the mansion had been stolen, and news of his criminal evidence being auctioned out in the world, he must be anxious.No matter how meticulous a person is, he is afraid of being in a hurry. Once a person is in a hurry, it is easy to make mistakes. I am afraid that if he continues to dig, he will find more and more fatal weaknesses, and do something to wipe out all the corrupt officials related to him. Good preparation.

With her mind set, Xue Hong weighed the ledger again, and couldn't help showing a knowing smile on her face: "Nian Gengyao, Nian Gengyao, have you ever heard what is called 'you can't live without doing your own crimes'?"

In the capital, Xue Hong pretended to be traveling day and night and rushed back, carrying all the dust and dust all over her body, and went to Prince Yong's mansion before returning home.

Yinzhen was still in the palace at that time, and Lord Kangxi hadn't woken up since he fell into a coma. It had been two or three months, and all affairs in the court were decided by the old ministers and several princes from the previous court. Fortunately, these few Nothing urgent happened in the past month, but there were some water bandits near the capital who had close contacts with Japanese spies. Prince Yong had sent Jia Lian to encircle and suppress them, and the situation was still under control.But Lord Kangxi has been in such a coma all this time, he is really worried.

When Xue Hong came to Prince Yong's mansion, he did not see Yinzhen, but met Fucha Fu Qing.

Seeing Xue Hong, Fu Qing laughed and said, "Second brother-in-law has worked hard all the way. The prince sent me to guard here, and said that he will take you to the palace to meet him when you come. I think you are also a dustman." servant, it's just that the current situation of the emperor is not optimistic, I can't serve you wine to welcome you, but hurry up to freshen up and go to the palace in official clothes."

Xue Hong was taken aback when he heard the words: "Why are you in such a hurry? The emperor hasn't woken up yet?"

"Hey... that's right. Let's not talk about it. I took a set of brother-in-law's official uniform from your mansion a few days ago. The prince said that you would wash up in the wing room of the mansion when you came. The first horse came to report that you were coming today, so he ordered someone to sit in a pot of hot water early in the morning, everything is ready-made, you go to freshen up first, and I will explain to you in detail in the carriage that we will enter the palace later."

Xue Hong washed up quickly, changed into her official uniform, and hurried to the palace in a carriage.On the way, Fu Qing sighed: "The emperor is unconscious here, and the imperial concubine is also seriously ill. She sleeps more than she wakes up every day. The prince and the thirteenth master simply stayed at the Yonghe Palace and haven't returned for several months. The Yonghe Palace is closer to the emperor's bedroom. Apart from going to the cabinet to handle some government affairs every day, he can guard the emperor and take care of the empress.

Recently, because the emperor is seriously ill, these princes seem to be worried about the emperor on the surface, but in fact, each of them has ulterior motives, and there are many actions behind the scenes.The emperor fainted a while ago because of the monument erected in the Ping-Tibet War, you should also know this.Now the ruling and opposition parties feel that the eighth elder brother did this, and the eighth elder brother is complaining everywhere, but after such a long time, he can't produce any favorable evidence, so how can he prove his innocence?Even some old ministers in the court who were optimistic about the eighth prince were extremely disappointed with him. Not only did they no longer support him, but they even scolded him. This is a good thing for us. "
