Prince of the Qing Dynasty

Suo'etu went out and looked around, but couldn't find the answer he wanted.

However, when Suo'etu was stopped by soldiers when he was trying to go out, he knew in his heart that he was under house arrest.

However, he still can't figure it out, is the prince under house arrest, or the emperor under house arrest?

After staying for some time, Suo'etu realized that the crown prince was the same as him, and could not go out. The range of activities could only be confined to this courtyard. At this moment, Suo'etu understood that the crown prince was just like him. , was placed under house arrest here.

Both Yinreng and Suo'etu were under house arrest in this square courtyard, but the news from outside was still continuously sent to Yinreng.

After Kangxi returned, he decisively started the action to get rid of Suo'etu. From time to time, Kangxi's orders to reprimand Suo'etu came from the court, and Kangxi had already begun to attack Suo'etu's forces.

Yinfeng silently looked at the news on the table, De Zhu beside him saw this scene, pursed his lips and said, "Prince, is this servant going to invite Mr. Suo here?"

Since Suo'etu left in a huff that day, Suo'etu has never come to Yinfeng's place these days. The two live in a courtyard, but they do not disturb each other, just like strangers.

Of course, Suo'etu had many questions in his mind, but Yinfeng didn't say anything, so he refused to ask any more.De Zhu looked at this situation, and now that there was news from outside, he wondered if it was time for Mr. Suo to come and talk to the crown prince.

"No need." Yinfeng smiled, what are you doing here?Tell Suo'etu, has Kangxi started to clear him?

At this moment, another message came, this time it was sent by Wuge, the first-class guard next to Kangxi.

De Zhu went out to receive the news, and when he came back, he showed the news to Yin Reng, who lowered his eyes when he saw it.

Kangxi sent Wuge to send the news that Kangxi wanted to bring Suo'etu back to Beijing, and asked Wuge to bring Suo'etu back to Beijing in person, and also said that Yinfeng had to wait half a month before announcing his recovery Then set off back to Beijing.

Yinfeng called Wuge in, and said to him: "Huang Ama's errand, we can't delay, but before we leave, may I have a few words with my uncle?"

When he used to sit in court to listen to the government, Wuge was by his side to protect Yinreng's safety, and the two of them could be regarded as having a friendship.Wuge admired Yinreng very much in his heart. Hearing what Yinreng said, he immediately smiled and said, "The crown prince has orders, how dare the slaves refuse to obey? The emperor only ordered the slaves to bring Mr. Suo back, and did not set a time limit." We will leave as soon as the medicine arrives."

Yinfeng nodded, which showed that he still had time to talk to Suo'etu. Dang even ordered Dezhu to take Wuge to rest, and then invited Suo'etu to come, and he wanted to talk to Suo'etu.

After Suo'etu sat down, he looked at Yinfeng and said, "The time has come for what the prince said? Are you planning to tell the old minister?"

Yinfeng looked at Suo'etu sitting opposite him, but was in a daze for a moment. The scene of him and Suo'etu sitting opposite each other seemed to have happened only when he was going to sit and watch politics.Suddenly, the past few years passed, and it seemed that he hadn't sat and talked with Suo'etu for a long time.

However, he also knew in his heart that it should be the last time that he and Suo'etu sat and talked like this.

Yinfeng showed Suo'etu the news received these days one by one, and when Suo'etu read them one by one, he slowly told Suo'etu about Kangxi's plan.

Suo'etu didn't respond for a while, and after listening to Yinfeng's words, he raised his eyes and smiled at Yinfeng: "Is the prince abandoning the old minister?"

Suo'etu read the news and heard Yinfeng's words. In fact, he felt uncomfortable and angry. He never thought about such a result. He thought that no matter what, the emperor looked at Ama. He and Empress Renxiao would not touch him in face, and the crown prince, even if he had a different idea from him, would never help the emperor to plot against him like this. In the end, the facts were completely different from what he thought.

How could he not be angry in his heart!

"Mingzhu is greedy for money, and the old minister seeks power. Compared with Mingzhu, the old minister's mind is a bit unbearable, but isn't the old minister all for the prince? Even if the veteran has selfish intentions, is it not beneficial for the prince to do these things? The veteran does not Thinking of it, instead of justifying the old minister in front of the emperor, the crown prince wants to help the emperor get rid of the old minister!"

After he tested the emperor's mind in the Fengxian Temple worship event that year, he knew that although he blindly put pressure on the emperor to give way to the crown prince, the emperor did not have such intentions in his heart.Even though the emperor wavered under his pressure for a while, he knew that it was not from the emperor's original intention, so it was still very difficult to abdicate.

Besides, he knew very well in his heart that once he tested the emperor's mind in this way, he would definitely make the emperor hate him.Therefore, he is almost risking his own future to earn the merit of being a dragon.It's a pity that he didn't understand it when he was in the game. Looking back now, he was fighting for his life without knowing it.

After that incident, he also accidentally found out the crown prince's mind. It was at that time that he realized that the crown prince was not eager to get the throne. Everything the crown prince did was just to protect himself. The arrogant assertion also made the crown prince speak out angrily, drawing a clear line with him.

At that time, he didn't understand. He thought that as long as he restrained himself a little and kept a low profile for a few years, he would naturally have time to make plans in the future.But looking back now, he realized that at that time, the emperor might have already wanted to kill him, but because the emperor still had concerns, he just endured it blindly.

Basically, when he was about to make a claim, he put himself into a deadlock.

Suo'etu gradually figured out these things by himself, and the anger in his heart decreased a lot. He only hated himself for being too stupid for not seeing through these things earlier!

Now in my heart, I regret more.

"Grandpa, you clearly want to exercise power, why do you keep saying it's for me?"

Yinfeng said expressionlessly, "You said that I abandoned you, which is true, but do you know when I abandoned you?"

These words will have to be said sooner or later, it is better to take advantage of this time to make them clear at once.

Before Suo'etu could speak, Yinfeng said: "I know that it is impossible for an adult with his own independent consciousness and personality to obey others' orders in everything, so from the beginning, I didn't intend to restrain my uncle and grandpa. You can do whatever you want, as long as it won’t harm me. This is also the most basic request I made of you when we joined forces. But you didn’t do it. Your desire for power made you want to manipulate me to reach you The purpose you want to obtain. When Huang Ama personally conquered Galdan for the first time, she was seriously ill in Boluohetun. At that time, you had the idea of ​​letting me replace Huang Ama, and even advocated private production of forbidden items. Uncle Grandpa, from that moment on, I knew that you would never do things according to my orders, because if you want to manipulate me, it is absolutely impossible to wait according to my will."

"Later, what you did proved my thoughts time and time again. That's it, I knew that if I joined forces with you again, you would ruin my future."

Suo'etu looked at Yinfeng quietly, his eyes hard to distinguish: "The prince has always been a person with ideas, but the old minister just didn't expect that the prince had such thoughts on the old minister so early."

"I know that you do many things for my own good and benefit to me, but you still forget that you can't cover the sky with one hand, let alone overthrow the imperial power! Uncle, you are just too impatient , and I am in such a position, such an identity, the worst thing I can do is to be impatient, except to wait, to endure, and unless I am sure of winning, I cannot make any decision that will harm me, "

Yinfeng said coldly, "You said that I didn't excuse you in front of Huang Ama, but instead helped Huang Ama get rid of you. Uncle, grandpa, just imagine, if I, the crown prince, really did this, what would happen to me? What will it be? What Master Tang Bin and Master Geng Jie taught me back then, I have never forgotten until now, the most important thing to be a crown prince is to take the emperor's heart as his heart, my thoughts are not important at all. I have been working hard to do this all these years, and I dare not say that I have done a good job, but I cannot go against Huang Ama."

"Tang Bin? Geng Jie? They're dead long ago... Does the crown prince really think that what they said is good advice?"

Suo'etu smiled wryly when he heard the words, and then stared at Yinfeng and said, "The prince followed the emperor's will, isn't he afraid that the emperor will kill the donkey after getting rid of me? Last time the emperor executed the person who communicated between you and me The prince must have known the reason for playing so badly, causing the prince to lose his prestige in the court. The emperor has no intention of covering up for the prince. What happened between the prince and me, Once it is made public, the prince knows better than the old minister what the consequences will be! The old minister's life is over, but can the emperor not announce all the things between the prince and the veteran for the sake of the prince's assistance?"

"The old minister is just afraid that the prince's painstaking efforts will be in vain, and he has no choice but to get away!"

If Kangxi wants to get rid of Suo'etu, it is bound to announce Suo'etu's various crimes, and some things are inseparable from Yinfeng. Suo'etu is worried that even if the crown prince does what Kangxi wants, in the end, it will still be a crime. You have to bear the consequences after this, but you won't get a good reputation.

In order to consolidate and maintain the imperial power, if it is necessary to damage the crown prince's reputation, Suo'etu guessed that Kangxi would not be relentless, and he would definitely do so.

So, in the end, Suo'ertu expected that Yinfeng would not get any benefits, but instead, he was covered in mud and couldn't get out.

Yinfeng was silent for a long time when he heard the words, and then said expressionlessly: "Even if there are such consequences, I have no choice but to do this. If it weren't for you, uncle, grandpa, why should I suffer such grievances?"

He had thought about the consequences of Suo'etu's words.Kangxi also told him beforehand that he didn't understand at that time, but after these days, he gradually understood what Kangxi meant.In Kangxi's view, these are all grievances that the crown prince cannot avoid, and he should suffer.

Even if he got nothing in the end, and caused a whole body of embarrassment instead, he could only do this, and use his own body to bear the consequences.

"The old minister did some things wrong. The old minister admits that he is also responsible for causing the prince to fall into such a situation. However, the old minister wants to ask the prince one last thing."

Suo'etu paused, and seeing Yinfeng nodded, he asked, "I remember, the prince once said that the purpose of sitting in the court to watch politics is to make the courtiers only be loyal to the prince, and even when the emperor and the prince are in conflict He also firmly chose to stand on the prince's side, but the current situation is completely different from what the prince and the veteran described at the beginning. The veteran only saw the emperor's suppression of the prince's family, and did not see anyone in the court replacing him. Prince, what are you talking about? The old minister now feels that the prince's years were wasted."

Suo'etu still remembers the shock and astonishment when he heard Yinreng's words back then, and he also clearly remembers Yinreng's high spirits and high spirits when he said these words. Now, after so many years, Suo'etu feels that Yinfeng's initial efforts did not yield much results.

He couldn't help asking: "Prince, do you really believe that after the veteran has gone, there will still be someone who will support you unconditionally and oppose the emperor for you?"

"People from the old minister's family have been cleaned up by the emperor this time. When the old minister loses power, there will really be no one around the prince...Old minister, you should still worry about the prince."

Regardless of grievances or grievances, Suo'etu is Yinreng's uncle after all, and aside from his selfishness, he still has worries about Yinreng.

"How can you speak out easily before the confrontation? Such a choice requires great courage and wisdom. Both sides are difficult, and both sides are dead. Smart people have to think twice. Under such a situation , how could someone come out and speak for me easily? I expected it a long time ago, and the really difficult time has not yet begun, "

Yinfeng said, "Whether the things I did in those years were in vain or not, no one will know until the last moment. What's more,"

Yinfeng paused, and then said again, "What's more, the people Huang Ama cleaned up this time are all from your uncle and grandpa. When did your uncle think that my people are the same as yours? I said After all, what I need is someone who can bear and wait, not those forces under my uncle who can't bear to wait. However, I am very happy that my uncle can say this. After all, even my uncle I thought there was no one around me, so Huang Ama must have thought the same way."

If Kangxi really thought that after such a blow, there would be no one around him, no influence, this would be a good thing for him.

Suo'etu was originally worried about Yinfeng, but after hearing Yinfeng's words, he always felt that there was something in his words. After thinking about it for a while, he looked up at Yinfeng and asked: "The prince means, You have secretly developed a group of forces, forces that even the emperor doesn't know about?"

Yinfeng smiled and didn't answer Suo'etu's words directly. He just stood up and said with a smile: "It's getting late, and I've said everything I need to say. Go and rest, uncle and grandpa. You will set off for Beijing tomorrow morning." Right. Although Huang Ama has no restrictions, it is better to leave earlier, and it is not good to delay."

Yinfeng refused to say it, so Suo'etu took it as his acquiescence, and let go of this hanging heart.He is not worried about other things now, but worried about Yinreng's situation, and now he seems to be prepared to listen to what Yinreng said, both inside and outside, so he feels relieved.

Suo'etu also stood up, looked at Yinfeng and smiled, the smile was very complicated, with bitterness and relief, and then, Suo'etu turned around, and left without saying a word.

Yinreng looked at Suo'etu's back, feeling a little sore in his heart. After watching for a while, he looked at Suo'etu's back and said, "Uncle, grandpa, thank you for your protection and support these years. Yinreng will never forget these things Yes. My mother-in-law, she must be very grateful to you. Don't worry, even if I risk my life for what you are worried about, I will not let it happen. Even if the people of the Suo family will no longer have glory and wealth, But you can always save your life."

Suo'etu paused, but did not turn around. Only a deep sentence came: "I only hope that you can succeed in your succession in the future."

Suo'etu knew in his heart that even if he did not die, it would be difficult to see Yinfeng again in the future.In his heart, he actually didn't complain about Yinfeng.It's all his own fault for messing up a good thing.

After Suo'etu left, the words he left behind made Yinfeng's eyes blush.

Early the next morning, Suo'etu and Wuge set off for Beijing.

Yinfeng also followed Kangxi's instructions, and he got better day by day. After Suo'etu left, the number of soldiers guarding outside the courtyard was reduced by half, and no one restricted Yinfeng's actions anymore. He could freely enter and exit the courtyard. It's just that you have to pretend to be recovering from a serious illness.

Before Suo'etu arrived in the capital, Kangxi's suppression had already come straight to him.

Kangxi ordered the bodyguard Haiqing to send an edict to Suo'etu who was still on the road, which said--your family tells you that I will stay for three years, but I didn't make an announcement, which meant to be lenient.However, you have no regrets, and you are full of resentment behind your back, discussing state affairs, and forming cliques to act rashly.You also said that those who are not favored by me should follow you to support the crown prince.The whole country is deeply gracious from me. If half of the beneficiaries are half of the benefactors and half of the non-benefactors are half, then they will follow you.What kind of arrogant words are you talking about?I have endured until now, how can I bear it any longer?

——The crown prince fell ill in Dezhou, and you were sent to wait on him. You rode to the crown prince's middle gate and dismounted. This alone should put you to death.Who do you consider yourself to be?When you were a bachelor, you were dismissed because of greed, and then you were appointed again, and you didn't miss my kindness.A dog still knows the kindness of its owner. Even if a person like you is extra kind, it is useless.I originally wanted to send someone to search your house, but I am afraid that too many people will be involved, so I stopped.If you publish part of what you do, you will be punished.

……

All kinds of reprimands and accusations continued all the way until Suo'etu returned to Beijing.

When Yinfeng heard these reprimands and accusations in Dezhou, he felt sad in his heart. Kangxi relied so much on Suo'etu at the beginning, and he scolded people so much in just a few years.

The so-called riding a horse to the side of the middle gate was obviously because Suo'etu was worried about him and forgot the rules, but it was also regarded as a crime.

Although it is wrong for Suo'etu to exercise power, it is enough to make people feel chilling to scold him to such an extent.He was chilled when he heard it, but he didn't know how Suo'etu felt when he heard it...
