Kangxi was stationed in Boluohe Village to recuperate his illness. There was a shortage of medicinal materials, and the medicine he needed had not been delivered from the capital. The medicine he drank was not very suitable for the disease. The trend, this point, he is also clear in his heart.

This day resting in bed, worrying about the frontline war in his heart, Kangxi felt uncomfortable again, remembering the imperial doctor's order that he should rest in peace and not work hard, he sighed in his heart, and ordered Liang Jiugong to find Mingzhu to talk to him, so that he could relax attention.

This time with the army, he brought Mingzhu out, but he didn't send it out, but stayed by his side and let Mingzhu accompany him.

Seeing Mingzhu this time was also the first time that Xuan Mingzhu came to see him alone since Mingzhu accompanied her these days.

Liang Jiugong soon came with Mingzhu, and when Mingzhu saluted Kangxi, Liang Jiugong stood outside the dragon tent.

When Kangxi called out, Mingzhu raised her head to look at Kangxi, and saw Kangxi lying on the couch, her face was flushed, and her eyes were still red from the high fever, but when she looked at him with a smile, Mingzhu felt sore in her heart, and her eyes turned red , he really looked at Kangxi and said: "Your Majesty, do you feel better? You have to take care of the dragon body!"

Kangxi smiled, pouted at the chair next to him, and said, "Come on, sit down and talk."

"I am worried about the front-line war, and I hate that I can't go to the battle when I am sick. But the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I am here. The imperial doctor told me not to worry too much. I was thinking, and I called you to talk to me. It’s better than me being here alone thinking about those troubles.”

Kangxi said, "Mingzhu, do you know why I brought you out this time?"

"The slave dares to guess that the emperor is afraid of keeping the slave in the capital, so Suo'etu will take the opportunity to attack the minister?" Mingzhu said.

"You are so straightforward," Kangxi said with a smile, "What you said is one of the reasons, but it's not all for this. I will also tell you clearly that you and Suo'etu have fought so much In [-], how can I not know about your affairs? If you say that Suo'etu will definitely take your life, I believe this, but I will not let him do what he wants. You are greedy for money, you are forming a party, all kinds of things I know all kinds of bad things, and I have dealt with you, but I will not take your life for this. I am not a bloodthirsty emperor, and I have no reason to put you to death. Withdraw from the domain and stand with me, I will always remember your loyalty. Today, I will give you a promise, no matter what, I will not kill you."

Mingzhu saved her life, and thanked her kindly: "Slave, thank the emperor for his kindness!"

The monarchs and ministers are all smart people, Kangxi did not kill Mingzhu, it was to contain Suo'etu, Mingzhu knew very well, although this life was saved, but he is a guilty person after all, even if he recovers now, it will be difficult restore its former status.Life is saved, but it will never be reused again.

"I know that you have always been prejudiced against the crown prince. Of course you support the elder brother in your heart." Kangxi looked at Mingzhu and said, "But do you know? If you will always be in a high position, if you are still my university scholar, I will It will not be assigned to big brother. Only when you step down, big brother will have a chance."

This is also a way for Kangxi to protect the prince.After all, the eldest brother is different from the prince. He can support Mingzhu to contain Suo'etu, but he doesn't need to support the eldest brother to contain the crown prince.Therefore, after the elder brother became an adult and needed to be pulled out, he took advantage of the opportunity to pull Mingzhu down, so that he could focus on training the elder brother.

Kangxi believed that after he said this, Mingzhu, a transparent person, could understand these principles.

When Mingzhu heard Kangxi's first words, her heart trembled a little, and she quickly knelt on the ground and said, "I don't dare."

Seeing him like this, Kangxi laughed again, and signaled Mingzhu to get up and sit down: "You don't have to be so nervous, what our monarchs and ministers are talking about today are all private words, and I won't blame you. I'm just bored and want to talk to someone, you I have been a monarch and minister for so many years, and I have said that I will not kill you, what are you afraid of. Besides, how can I not know about your thoughts?"

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. Naturally, you can't hide your slave's thoughts from His Majesty." Mingzhu gritted her teeth, only thinking in her heart, anyway, he won't have any scruples, and there are always things that should be said. It was also uncomfortable for him to hold it in his heart, not to mention, talking privately in front of him was the best time to report black.

After making up her mind, Mingzhu knelt on the ground and kowtowed again before getting up: "The emperor told the slave that the emperor knows what the slave is thinking. However, the slave didn't think so in his heart. The emperor also said that today he was talking privately to the slave. Speaking, the slave also dared to say what is in my heart, and these years, I also have some things in my heart that I want to say to the emperor."

Kangxi laughed and said, "Just say what you have to say. I just want to hear what's on your mind."

"Yes,"

Mingzhu said, "The slave has a prejudice against the crown prince, not because of the big brother. Although the slave used to have personal grievances and prejudices against the crown prince and Suo'etu because of the big brother, but that is also a personal prejudice of the slave, and it is not enough. In order to convince others. But the servant has watched coldly over the years, the crown prince is really a person with a deep heart, the emperor may not see clearly enough, but the servant is clear in his heart. The crown prince has clashed with the eldest brother several times, and the eldest brother may have Wrong, but is the crown prince not wrong? The emperor only needs to think about it carefully to know, if the crown prince did not intend to guide him, how could elder brother do those stupid things?"

"Although the slave is related to the big brother, the temperament of the big brother is really not suitable for being the king of a country. The slave has no intention of supporting the big brother in his heart. The slave wants the big brother to change his body. other than that, I have absolutely no selfishness. I dare not say anything else, but if I say loyalty, I dare to swear to the sky that I have no second thoughts about the emperor. Therefore, the slave is considered the prince No, it is also out of a public heart for the emperor!"

Hearing that Mingzhu said that Yinfeng was not good, Kangxi didn't answer, just smiled and said: "I brought you by my side this time just to hear what's on your mind. If you have any other benefits besides being outspoken, That is your loyalty. Although you are greedy for money, I will not doubt your loyalty to me. However, I think you have misunderstood the prince too deeply. How can the prince be kind and filial? Woolen cloth?"

Mingzhu paused for a moment, and said, "Yes, this servant is lying."

He swallowed the rest of the words he didn't say in his heart in a timely manner.He will wait for the right time to speak.

In the past, if you said that the prince was not a word, you would be scolded by the emperor.Maybe there are murders.This time he opened his mouth to say so many things about the prince, but the emperor didn't have such a big reaction, he just didn't agree with what he said.

What does this mean?

It shows that although the emperor still defends the prince, he is already somewhat dissatisfied with some of his actions, and even has complaints in his heart, but no one knows.This is very different from the situation a few years ago.Mingzhu sighed in her heart, it was worthwhile for him to wait for so many years, finally he saw a glimmer of hope.

It's a pity that the elder brother is too anxious and has already lost such a good opportunity. The next step is to see when the younger brothers grow up and see which elder brother can seize such an opportunity. Xu secretly supports that elder brother.As for him, it's better for him to stay calmly and stay beside the elder brother.

No longer mentioning Yinfeng, Kangxi only said Yinti: "Big elder brother has not had a good reputation outside the past few years. I originally wanted him to follow Yinfeng to go out to practice, but I didn't expect his reputation to become worse and worse. Okay. That's why I thought, this second southern tour will take him with me, so I can teach him by example and let him learn something. His impetuous temper, it is impossible for him to participate in politics, so I have to let him learn first Lead troops to fight, practice and practice, and when you are calmer in the future, it will not be too late to send errands. What I mean is that since you have a relationship with him, you used to teach him often in the past, and you still have to teach him in the future. He is still the emperor after all. Eldest son, don't be too outrageous."

Mingzhu replied: "Yes, the servant obeys the order."

Taking advantage of this vacancy, Liang Jiugong came in to reply: "Your Majesty, there is a letter from the capital."

There were two letters in Liang Jiugong's hand. Kangxi opened them and looked at them. He said with a smile, "Tong Guowei wrote me a letter, saying that he will come here in four days. I have been looking forward to it for so long, and finally the medicine came."

Ming Zhu also had a happy face when she heard the words, knowing that the medicinal materials were coming, the Emperor's complexion really improved a lot, seeing this, Ming Zhu let go of her heart.Just now when he saw the emperor's weak breath, he was really worried that the emperor would not survive this time.

Kangxi smiled and said: "This letter was written by the prince. I did not expect that the letters from these two people would arrive together. I clearly sent the letter to the prince two or three days earlier. It can be seen that the prince was lazy and accepted it." I didn't reply to the letter right away."

Kangxi's casual words made Mingzhu's eyes flash, and a gleam flashed across his eyes, but he said with a smile: "Perhaps it is because of something that the prince has delayed. I can't say for sure. It's just that the emperor, my slave, dares to ask, is this medicinal material Did you personally write to the capital to ask for it from the Imperial Hospital?"

Kangxi said: "I didn't write it. If I wrote it myself, it would be a big deal. I didn't want to say anything, because I was afraid of disturbing the morale of the army, so I just asked the imperial doctor to write down the medicinal materials needed, and he sent them to the capital. Suo'etu and Tong Guowei knew about it, and then I asked Tong Guowei to escort the medicine over."

"Then, did the crown prince know about the emperor's illness?" Mingzhu asked again.

"I didn't tell the prince. I was afraid that the prince would be worried, so I didn't write it in the letter. The prince doesn't know about it," Kangxi said. "If the prince knew that I was ill, he would send his greetings in the letter, but he didn't mention a single word in this letter." , Therefore, the crown prince is still unaware of my illness."

"Your Majesty, does the crown prince really not know about it? The imperial doctor wrote to Suo'etu and told Suo'etu that Suo'etu and Uncle Tong Guo were going to the imperial hospital to get medicine together. This matter can be hidden from others, and it can also be hidden Live in the crown prince? What's more, the crown prince sits in the capital, how can he not know about such a big event?"

Mingzhu said, "What's more, based on the relationship between Suo'etu and the crown prince, does the emperor think that Suo'etu really won't tell the crown prince about this? The slave speculates that the crown prince is deliberately pretending to be sick when he knows the emperor is sick. If you don't know, we are far away from the capital, and there is no way to know about the affairs in the palace, but this servant feels that there is something strange about this matter!"

Kangxi frowned and looked at Mingzhu: "What's going on with you today? Why are you targeting the crown prince every word? What exactly do you want to say?"
