My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1718: Small talk (rolling around asking for monthly tickets)

The drake's voice is shrill and piercing.

The Fourth Prince frowned, and the Ninth Prince also raised his eyebrows and looked over.

The one who was cursing was the Fourteenth Prince.

In front of the Fourteenth Prince, two men dressed as guards knelt.

Next to the Fourteenth Prince, there was another person standing, and it was the Eldest Prince.

The Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince looked at each other, realized something was wrong, and went over there.

The Fourteenth Prince was still angrily scolding, "Who ordered you two slaves to deliberately make up gossips and slander my elder brother?"

The eldest prince was standing beside them, his face dark and blue, looking at the two men with a curious look.

The two guards on the ground were third-class guards. One of them was old, with a beard, in his thirties, and the other was young, in his twenties.

It is understandable that the young man is reckless and does not know the consequences of his actions, but the older man should not be like this.

When working in the palace, gossiping is a big taboo.

The two were chatting while on duty when they were caught by the two princes. They looked so frightened that they could only kowtow and were unable to say a word.

Seeing this, the Fourteenth Prince became even more annoyed. He happened to have a whip in his hand, so he started waving it without any hesitation.

With a "snap" sound, he hit the man's neck hard.

He did not spare his strength. If he was hit hard, who knows what would happen.

The eldest prince was distracted for a moment and had no time to block the whip of the fourteenth prince, so he kicked the man away.

Fourteenth Prince's whip fell to the ground.

The Fourteenth Prince became ferocious, and when his attack missed, he followed with another whip.

The eldest prince grabbed his arm.

The Fourteenth Prince was surprised, looked up at him and said, "Brother, why are you stopping me? This servant dared to make up lies to slander you, he deserves to be punished!"

The eldest prince shook his head and said, "Since he is a guard, let Fushan judge him!"

Beating a dog depends on the owner.

These two are guards, and they are the emperor's men.

Fushan was one of the two ministers in charge of the imperial guards.

This matter has nothing to do with the Fourteenth Prince, and it is inappropriate for him to get involved.

While they were talking, the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince also arrived.

The Ninth Prince thought about what the Fourteenth Prince had just said, looked at the two men, and said, "That's rare. Learn from me, what are you talking about that made the Fourteenth Prince so angry?"

The Fourth Prince looked at the Eldest Prince.

The eldest prince was lucky, and I think he was very angry about this shit pot that came out of nowhere.

The two guards could only kowtow.

One of them kowtowed and said, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die..."

The other young one, seeing two more princes, felt so shaky that he could not utter a word.

The Fourteenth Prince was quick-witted and had already explained the reason.

"This old fellow is making up stories about my eldest brother, saying that something strange is going on in the kitchen, that someone has betrayed the prince, and that the prince has a hard time. He also says that it's all because of my eldest brother..."

The Fourth Prince had guessed this long ago and was not surprised.

Since so many people were punished in the kitchen at once and their crimes were laid out clearly, it was bound to attract attention.

The Ninth Prince pointed at the two men and said, "How dare you! Not only did you slander the prince, but you also tried to sow discord between the Prince of Zhi and the Crown Prince!"

The two men wished they could disappear right where they were.

The Fourteenth Prince continued, "Not only that, they also said that the eldest brother ordered the eighth brother to dig up graves and deal with the Hesheli family..."

Fourth elder brother: "..."

The Ninth Prince's eyes widened as he asked, "How... are they related? The eldest brother is in Mongolia, and the eighth brother is in the capital. How can they give orders? Did they give orders in a dream?"

The Fourteenth Prince snorted coldly, "Even if it's just a made-up lie, they don't care whether it's reasonable or not, they just say it with their upper lip touching their lower lip!"

The Ninth Prince looked at the two men and felt that they were unfamiliar to him. They were not often seen in front of the emperor. He asked curiously, "Whose son is so bold? He is using my eldest brother to fight with the crown prince?"

Seeing that the two were not getting to the point, the Fourth Prince said to the First Prince, "Brother, shall we send them to the Guards?"

The eldest prince nodded and said, "That's what I meant. I want to see which bastard is plotting against me!"

The Ninth Prince’s ears twitched.

Yin person.

Yinreng...

Why did Khan Ama choose this name? !

Someone else is coming.

From the direction of the imperial tent.

It was the Thirteenth Prince, coming hurriedly.

Seeing that several of his brothers and sisters were all there, the Thirteenth Prince said, "Someone has reported it to the Emperor, Khan Ama is telling him!"

The group turned to the emperor's presence.

The two third-class guards who were gossiping also asked the eldest prince to tell someone to drag them outside the imperial tent to wait.

In the imperial tent, seeing his sons coming in, Kangxi's face became gloomy and his eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one.

"Tell me, what's going on? Why are you shouting and killing my guards?"

The Fourteenth Prince had just spoken first in front of his brothers, but now he didn't dare to do so and followed the others to look at the Eldest Prince.

The eldest prince did not exaggerate and explained the reason.

"It was two guards who said that my son had someone in the dining room to frame the crown prince. They also said that my son had instigated the Eighth Prince to submit a memorial to dig up the grave. The Fourteenth Prince was annoyed that they were making trouble out of nothing and scolded them. My son also got angry after hearing this and couldn't help but kick them."

This is to make the matter that the Fourteenth Prince did a big thing small, and a small thing nothing.

He took the blame for attacking the guards on himself.

As the Fourth Prince listened, his brows furrowed even more.

Fourteenth Prince, you are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.

The Ninth Prince felt that this matter looked familiar!

Wouldn't the investigation lead to the crown prince?

Or the investigation may lead to other princes.

The Ninth Prince was wondering who would be the one to reap the spoils.

Why do I feel guilty even if I'm not a thief?

He didn't want the matter to remain vague and allow the mastermind behind the scenes to hide easily.

The Fourteenth Prince was standing behind the Ninth Prince. He stepped out and said in a responsible manner, "Father, it's not my eldest brother's fault. It was my son who was reckless. Seeing that those two servants were so stubborn and refused to repent, I started beating them!"

Kangxi looked at the Fourteenth Prince.

The Fourteenth Prince argued confidently, "Whether these two people made it up or just spread it based on hearsay, they deserve to be killed for slandering the prince like this!"

Guards Department...

Kangxi felt upset.

Even the Ninth Prince could sense the malicious intention, let alone Kangxi.

He raised his head, looked towards the door, and said, "Ma Wu!"

"The slave is here!"

Ma Wu, who was on duty at the door, came in.

"Go and interrogate him. I want to know where this statement came from..." Kangxi ordered in a deep voice.

"Whoo!"

Ma Wu agreed and went downstairs to interrogate.

Kangxi looked at his sons, still with a bad face, and said to the eldest prince: "How old are you, and still so reckless? Since the guards are inappropriate, tell them to send him to the guard office!"

The eldest prince lowered his hands and said, "My son has a bad temper. He couldn't hold back his anger after hearing all this nonsense."

Kangxi looked at the fourteenth prince and asked, "Why are you running around all day instead of studying in your tent?"

Fourteenth Brother: "..."

He swallowed his saliva and said obediently, "My son has been copying books for an hour. His waist is sore from sitting, so he came out to take a breath."

Kangxi sneered, "Come out to get some fresh air with a whip in your hand?"

The Fourteenth Prince was embarrassed and speechless.

Kangxi looked at the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince again.

When someone reported to the emperor just now, they only said it was the eldest prince and the fourteenth prince, and did not mention these two.

However, Kangxi was still in a bad mood, staring at the Fourth Prince and asking, "How do you act like a big brother? The Fourteenth Prince was naughty and mischievous, and you didn't even tell him to keep an eye on him?"

The Fourth Prince pleaded guilty and said, "Yes, I was wrong. I should have paid more attention to the Fourteenth Prince."

Kangxi snorted coldly and said, "Everyone is trying to fool me. If you really paid attention to the Fourteenth Prince, he wouldn't be so distracted and running around all day long!"

The fourth prince hurriedly said, "My son doesn't dare!"

The Ninth Prince was listening nearby, staring and squinting his eyes, feeling that something was wrong.

How come this also affects innocent people?
The eldest brother and the fourteenth prince only cursed once, but when it came to the fourth brother, he cursed twice.

This……

Next, you won’t scold yourself twice as much, right?
Kangxi's eyes had already moved to the Ninth Prince. Seeing him shrinking back, he snorted coldly and said, "Ninth Prince!"

"what?!"

The Ninth Prince raised his head with a somewhat cowardly look on his face.

Kangxi looked at him and said, "What are you thinking about when you make those eyes and eyebrows?"

The Ninth Prince said honestly: "My son just feels that this matter is familiar..."

With just one sentence, not only Kangxi was stunned, but everyone else was also confused.

Why does this thing look familiar?

The Ninth Prince then mentioned the carriage accident that occurred in the first month of the thirty-ninth year.

"At that time, the target was Hongyu from my eldest brother's family, and Hongqing from my third brother's family was injured by mistake..."

"After much investigation, it points to Yuqing Palace. Khan Ama knows that the prince is not that kind of person and will not do anything bad to his nephew..."

"In the end, the third brother still misunderstood that it was the crown prince, and the crown prince misunderstood that it was the third brother who acted out the plot, and thus a rift arose. Someone else is trying to sow discord among the royal family members..."

"When the matter came out this time, my son felt that it was similar to the last time. It was trying to sow discord between my eldest brother and the crown prince. For some reason, my son felt that after investigating it, it might lead to the Yuqing Palace again..."

How could the prince, who is so proud of himself, resort to such cheap and petty tricks?
The Ninth Prince finished speaking in one breath.

The Fourth Prince stood in the queue, feeling a little anxious.

What happened before is fine, it’s what has already happened.

There is really no need to say the conclusion at the end.

If this word gets out, it can be said to be a defense of the prince, or it can be said to be throwing mud at the prince, which can easily cause trouble.

Kangxi listened and looked thoughtful.

Knowing son Moruo father.

He knew that the Ninth Prince was not close to the Crown Prince, but he had never targeted the Crown Prince.

As for the Ninth Lady, she was also very respectful to the Crown Princess in her approach.

When Ninth Prince said this, he meant it literally.

The eldest prince's eyes looked a little empty.

Apart from the prince and myself, a third party came on the scene?

No, it's the fourth party.

Kangxi paid attention to his sons' reactions.

Seeing that Fourteenth Prince was troubled and seemed to have objections, he asked, "What... do you want to say?"

The Fourteenth Prince hesitated for a moment and said, "I think that Ninth Brother is too shallow. He dares to do evil under the nose of Khan Ama. This conspiracy is something that ordinary people should not be able to guess..."

If it is revealed in one sentence, is it still a conspiracy?
The Ninth Prince curled his lips when he heard this.

Pooh!
How to speak?
He is so smart!

　Everyone go to bed early, the next update will be tomorrow at noon
