cross into the fourth master

Now!

Just when Yinzhen was thinking about whether to pretend to faint, the dim light of a lantern in the distance moved from far to near.

Yinzhen straightened his waist and lowered his head, with a pious and remorseful expression on his face.

Kangxi's expression was indifferent, and his voice could not hear any emotion. "Get up."

Just as Xu Zhen was about to get up, his legs went limp and he fell to the ground with a slap.Knees are numb!

If Kangxi was the cp king, he should gently hug Yinzhen at this time, or squat down and gently massage Yinzhen's legs.No matter how bad it is, you should say with a complicated face: "The injury is on your body, and the pain is on my heart." But he is not, so...

Yinzhen staggered behind Kangxi with his numb legs, his face full of anger.Lovers and sons are completely different treatment!

After entering Yanbo Zhishuang Pavilion, Liang Jiugong offered Yinzhen a cup of hot tea.

Yinzhen couldn't wait to take a sip, the scalding temperature warmed up all internal organs.There was a blush on the bluish-white cheeks.

After he finished drinking, Kangxi said, "Do you know where I am wrong?"

Kneeling again... Yinzhen sadly found that it is more comfortable for him to kneel than standing: "Yes, I shouldn't lie to the emperor. It is a big mistake to make the emperor angry. It's just that I have to hide it." Yes, only caring about brotherhood and disregarding the righteousness of father and son, sons and ministers dare not die!"

He stopped the dead eagle because of Yinhu. In history, because of the dead eagle incident, Yinhu almost cut off his relationship with Kangxi and his son.On the 29th day of the first lunar month of the following year, Kangxi ordered Yinhu to "stop despicable behavior, and be lazy wherever he should go", and stop himself and his official salaries, deacons and other silver rice.In the 55th year of Kangxi, Kangxi ignored Yinhu's illness and was dying, so he ordered her to move from her villa near Changchun Garden to her home in the city.The second is also for Kangxi.It is also very sad that the relationship between Kangxi and the scholars deteriorated to such an extent in his later years.

Kangxi looked at him condescendingly: "If what you send is not a dead eagle but poison, what will you do?"

Yinzhen shivered coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "If the eighth younger brother really has such evil thoughts of disloyalty and unfilial piety, I will not be able to forgive him! May I ask Shang Fang's sword to eliminate future troubles for the emperor!"

Kangxi looked at him for a long time, then nodded: "Remember what you said today." He loves Yinzhen because of Yinzhen's filial piety.But his son, too soft-hearted can't do it!

The author has something to say: Little Theater

Yinzhen was punished for Yinhu

Yinzhen (lips curled): He is stupid.

Yinzhen (frowned): He's just stupid.

Yinhu (turning his head): Hmph, who wants him to save you, idiot.

Yin Zhen sadly went to find Yin Reng

Yinzhen (poor): I was punished because of the old eighth, and they said I was stupid!

Yinreng (changed expression): You are for Lao Ba?You and Lao Ba...

Yinzhen: I have nothing to do with Lao Ba!

Yinfeng (do not believe): Then why were you punished for him?

Yinzhen: ...I'm stupid!

52. Pass the book

"My lord, someone from Xian'an Palace is here to see you."

"Understood, let him in quickly."

Yinzhen put down the roster in his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows.He is now in charge of the inner court.To outsiders, this beautiful mission symbolizes the holy family, but it is extremely trivial and troublesome.Yinzhen has always been meticulous in his work, and has personally done all the night checks, so he is too busy these days.Moreover, he always felt that he forgot something, and he couldn't remember it after thinking about it, and he felt uneasy.

"The servant has seen fourth master."

Seeing his uneasy face, Xu Zhen's heart sank, and he blurted out: "What's wrong with the second brother?"

"If you go back to the master, the second master is fine. It's not good to abolish the crown princess."

Yinzhen felt that he had lost his composure, coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "Second brother's matter is no small matter, long live the inner court is handed over to this king, how can this king be careless? If there is any abnormality, report it immediately."

"Yes, the slave will save it."

"What happened?"

"The waste crown princess suddenly had a fever this afternoon, and now the high fever persists..."

Yinzhen's heart sank, he knew what he had never remembered.In history, Yinreng once borrowed the opportunity of imperial physician He Mengfu to see a doctor for Shi Shi, and asked him to write a book with alum water and bring it to the old department.Writing in alum water will only appear when it meets water.When this matter was revealed, Kangxi was furious and ordered Yinreng to be imprisoned in Shangsi Courtyard.Since then, Yinfeng's treatment has plummeted, and he never stepped out of the Shangsi courtyard until the fourth master took the throne...

Yinzhen showed displeasure on his face: "Since it's noon, it's not good, why did you wait until now to report?"

The visitor was full of fear, fearing that the prince who had always been cold-hearted would dispose of him, and kowtowed heavily: "I don't know...the slave deserves death."

"Hmph, if something really happens, you slaves will definitely be killed!" Yinzhen knew that the slaves in Xian'an Palace were cheating, but he didn't want to reprimand him openly, so he took this opportunity to make an example. "Report to Second Brother, the imperial physician will be here immediately. Su Peisheng, please send the imperial physician to Xian'an Palace."

The visitor hastily kowtowed to leave.

After he went out, Yinzhen's face was solemn, he stood up abruptly, and walked a few steps in the room.If Yinfeng really acted as recorded in history, this matter is really very difficult!He found the note on the spot, and Yinfeng was afraid that he would repeat the same mistakes in history and was in a difficult situation.Moreover, Yinzhen bit his lip, for some reason he couldn't bear the thought of Yinreng treating him as a traitor...

But without checking, Ren Yinfeng spread the note... What a joke!Kangxi sat on the throne for nearly 60 years, had numerous political enemies, and none of them ended well.Could his throne be overthrown with a note to the old ministry?Yinfeng was not sure when he was still the crown prince, not to mention that he had been in prison for several years, the situation has changed a lot, and the princelings were almost wiped out.If nothing happened, Kangxi might still care about the relationship between father and son, but if something went wrong, Kangxi was the emperor first, and then the father.Afraid of Yinfeng...

After hesitating for a while, Yinzhen still walked out.It's best for the crown prince to listen to the advice he sent Xiyan to take that day, if not, he can only stop the note!

Yinzhen came just in time.He Mengfu had already come out of Xian'an Palace, was searched by a group of guards, and was about to leave.

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and stopped him from a distance: "Isn't this Doctor He?"

"I've met Fourth Master." Everyone present knelt down and saluted.

Yinzhen waved his hand: "Get up."

The captain of the guard who happened to be on duty took a step forward and said with a smile, "Why is Fourth Master here? Could it be that you have some orders?"

Yinzhen said indifferently: "It's nothing, Zha Ye happened to be passing by." He checks Ye almost every day, so no one will doubt this excuse.

An eunuch smiled and said, "That's why I'm so serious, and I do all the little things myself. No wonder Wansui trusts me to leave the family to my grandfather."

Yinzhen nodded, but did not answer: "How is today?"

"If you come back to the master, everything is as usual and everything is safe and sound. Doctor He just came out of the house, and the brothers checked it, and they didn't bring a piece of paper."

Yinzhen took a look at He Mengfu: "If you don't meet me, it's fine. If you do, just search again. Don't say that you are mean and suspicious. Long live gave me my home. If I don't pay attention, I will go out." You and I can't bear the trouble."

Everyone knows that Yinzhen has this temper, and there is no objection, if you pay more attention, you can't go wrong, right?As soon as Yinzhen waved his hand, the eunuchs and guards accompanying him came up and searched carefully, but found nothing.

Yin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.He said in a gentle voice, "Physician He has been wronged."

How dare He Mengfu complain. "This is the duty of a slave. The fourth master is serious about his work, even if he goes to Wansui, he can only praise him. When he was seeing a doctor just now, the second master said that he knew that the fourth master was in charge outside, and he would never make trouble for the fourth master, so that the slave should hurry up." After reading it, don't make any trouble."

Yinzhen's whole body trembled, and the softest part of his heart was stabbed with pain by these words.Yinreng's gentle smile seemed to appear in front of his eyes, which he hadn't seen for several years, and it was as clear as yesterday.

The next day, Yinzhen came early as usual to greet Kangxi. As soon as he entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he heard Kangxi sigh.

Yinzhen quickly knelt down: "My son pays respects to the emperor. I don't know why the emperor is worried? My son is willing to share the worries of the emperor."

Kangxi rubbed his forehead wearily, and threw a memorial: "Look."

Yinzhen unfolded it carefully and saw that it was Tibet Khan's memorial for help.The leader of the Junggar Tribe, Cewang Alabutan, sent troops to attack Tibet, and Lhazang Khan asked the Qing Dynasty to send troops to support him.

Yinzhen understood instantly.Cewang Alabutan and the Qing army cannot be compared, but most of the generals in the court were promoted from the early years of Kangxi, and they are now very old.Even if you can still lead troops on horseback and march thousands of miles west to the Gobi Desert, if something happens on the way, you may lose your mind.But in front of Kangxi, it is always better to be seven points smart and three points simple than very smart. "Emperor Father, why worry, Cewang Allah Butan is just a clown, nothing to worry about. Our Eight Banners cavalry of the Qing Dynasty are invincible, and it is easy to kill Cewang Allah Butan."

Kangxi frowned: "My Eight Banners Iron Cavalry is invincible, but who will lead the troops?"

Yinzhen pondered for a moment. "Zhong Lin and Nian Gengyao are both brave and good at fighting. Having them lead the army is like adding wings to a tiger. It's just that although the two lead troops to fight, it's not easy to coordinate the overall situation."

Kangxi clapped the table. "If it had been ten years earlier, I would have personally marched to punish those who dared to offend the prestige of the Qing Dynasty! Now... I am not as good as I was back then. Last year, I felt exhausted after only ten days of traveling west..."

Yinzhen looked at Kangxi's white hair at the sideburns, and thought of how Kangxi governed Junggar back then, where thousands of people bowed their heads and the enemy troops fled, his eyes became hot, and he couldn't bear to listen any more. "Father, my son is willing to go!"

Kangxi shook his head: "You have a good heart, but you have always been a messenger, and you have never led a soldier. Besides, the army is fighting in the front, and the supply in the rear is related to success or failure. I don't trust others, and you need to be on a mission."

Yinzhen seldom heard such direct praise from Kangxi, and his heart warmed up. "If the emperor doesn't have a suitable candidate for the position of the general, the ministers think it's better to choose one from the elder brothers. The general is afraid that he won't be able to convince the public. If the elder brother takes this position, there is a difference in respect and inferiority. Some people are not convinced."

"Oh? Then tell me, which one of my sons can take on this important task?"

"The thirteenth brother and the fourteenth brother are proficient in bows and horses, they are very familiar with the book of war, and they have both led soldiers. My son thinks that the two younger brothers can take on this important task."

Kangxi narrowed his eyes: "There is only one general, do you think the old thirteen is better, or the old fourteen?"

This is no longer a question of the Western Expedition, but a test.Everyone knows that Yinxiang and him are as close as one person. Although Yinzhen is his brother, he is from Yinhu's side.Yinzhen knows that Kangxi's candidate is Yinzhen, but thinking of the haggard and depressed Yinxiang he saw recently, he really can't open his mouth. "The thirteenth and fourteenth brothers have similar temperaments, and they are all excellent at leading soldiers. It's really hard to choose between sons and ministers."

Kangxi seemed to have expected him to answer like this, and was not annoyed by this ambiguous answer. "Well, let's go down."

"Yes, Erchen retire."

"Wait." Just as Yinzhen retreated to the door, Kangxi suddenly stopped him. "I heard that you were injured while saving Lao Jiu?"

Since Kangxi opened his mouth, he must have investigated clearly.Although he didn't know why Kangxi suddenly brought up old accounts, Yinzhen nodded honestly and said, "Yes."

Kangxi raised his lips slightly in a half-smile. "Old Ninth has such a temper, he stabs you a lot on weekdays, but it's rare that you don't care about the past."

Yinzhen said very sincerely: "Blood is thicker than water. The ninth younger brother and the son-in-law are siblings, and they have different temperaments. It is inevitable to have some stumbling in daily life, and there is no hindrance to the brotherhood."

Kangxi nodded: "This kind of heart is rare. I hope you will remember what you said today, and don't lose your heart of filial piety. However, although brotherly love is good, there is a difference between seniority and inferiority. Next time, don't lose the big because of the small. "

Like a thunderclap exploding on the flat ground, Yin Zhen gasped, his expression changed immediately, and he buried his head deeply to hide his shock.Trying to restrain the trembling of the voice: "My son obeys the order." They are all the same dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren. There is a difference between the elder and the younger.Kangxi's words seem to be hinting.throne...

Seeing that although he was shocked by the realization, he was not in a bad mood, Kangxi showed satisfaction. "Go."

Yinzhen felt that the soles of his feet were soft as if he was stepping on cotton, and when he retreated outside the hall, he still felt in the fog. Although he was walking as usual, his eyes were straightened, and his thoughts had already gone to nowhere.Fortunately, he was used to walking this way, so he didn't hit the wall.

Knowing history and experiencing it are two completely different concepts.Although he knew that the fourth master would succeed to the throne one day, but thinking of ascending to that position, he really felt overwhelmed by the heights.The world is tied to one shoulder, what a heavy burden... He suddenly thought of Yinfeng, the meticulous care, gentle eyes, warm embrace, and bewildered kiss... If he sits on the throne, that person will still be there... Do you treat him like you do today?

Su Peisheng greeted him, seeing that Yinzhen's expression was not right, he whispered worriedly: "Master, master?"

Yinzhen shivered and suddenly woke up.He closed his eyes forcefully, and then opened them with determination. "Let's go."

That day will come sooner or later.And he is fearless.

In the distance, the sun rises in the east, and its brilliance bursts out from the thin clouds in the sky.

The author has something to say: Thank you, sister of that month! ╭(╯3╰)╮

This chapter didn't collapse, it's unscientific!It must be because I have studied too many red files, so give me back my second one, hello!

53 Expedition

As dusk fell, the Jade Rabbit rose to the east.

Yinzhen just came back from outside, covered in cold air, before entering the courtyard, Cai Ying trotted over and said in a low voice, "Master, Lord Thirteen is waiting for you inside."

Yinzhen frowned slightly.A few days ago, Kangxi called Yinxiang to have a heart-to-heart talk. The father and son sighed for a long time, and the restraint on Yinxiang was slightly loosened. Therefore, it was rumored that Kangxi intended to hand over the position of General Zhengxi to Yinxiang.But Yinzhen's heart is like a bright mirror, and Kangxi still prefers Yinzhen.It is obviously not wise for Yinxiang to come to look for him at this time.

Yinzhen walked in quickly.Mingmu Changtian guarded the door.

Yinxiang heard footsteps, stood up and turned around: "Fourth brother."

Yinzhen paused, still reluctant to blame Yinxiang.I haven't seen him for a long time, and he also misses this thirteenth brother a little bit, his voice softened unconsciously: "Old thirteenth."

"Fourth brother, you also know what I'm here for, do you have any news?"

Seeing the unconcealable hope on Yinxiang's face, Yinzhen turned his eyes away slightly: "Old Thirteen, this matter is decided by the emperor and the ministers..."

"That's the old fourteenth." Yinxiang smiled wryly. "Fourth brother, when you are a younger brother, do you really care about the position of the great general king? Now it has spread outside, and the emperor's father's health is getting worse every year, but he has not established a heir. I'm afraid it's also..."

Of course Yinzhen has heard this too, it was told to him by his disciples.But he just laughed it off and didn't care.Unexpectedly, Yinxiang seemed to believe it. "Rumors in the market are not enough to be believed."

"My younger brother knows that he has no talent or virtue, and he never expected that seat. But," Yinxiang gritted his teeth, the candlelight reflected in his eyes, flickering and beating. "For almost seven years, I have been confined in this square inch of land. I can only see a small piece of sky when I look up. I see only a few servants every day. Occasionally I go out to pay my respects to the emperor, and I am trembling. If something goes wrong, I dare not even come to see Fourth Brother..."

Yinzhen also felt sad in his heart, and patted Yinxiang's shoulder lightly. "I know you've had a difficult time, and I'm also walking on thin ice outside. I'm afraid that if I make a wrong step, I will be lost forever. The emperor wants to protect you..."

"Fourth brother." Yinxiang raised his voice. "It's better to die than a dog in a fly camp. Although the shroud of horse leather is dead, it is still alive. My brother has been a living dead for so many years, and I don't want to be like this for the rest of my life."

"Old Thirteen, there is always hope for a person alive, if... then there is really no day for success."

Yinxiang pointed to the sporadic white hair on his temples. "Fourth brother, can you still tell that my younger brother is only [-] years old? Every time Gu Jing sees this, I..." He turned around suddenly with red eyes.

Yinzhen knew that he had been imprisoned for many years and was full of resentment, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he murmured: "Old Thirteen..."

Yinxiang's voice gradually calmed down: "The old fourteen has always been at odds with my younger brother. If he is really promoted one step further in the future, there will be no way for his younger brother to survive. He must be abused in every possible way. I'm afraid it's not as good as today. This may be the last time for my younger brother. This is a chance to go out of the four directions, my brother would rather blood stain the yellow sand...to repay your kindness!"

"What nonsense!" Yinzhen grabbed his hand and pulled him around forcefully.

Yinxiang's face was full of tears, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

"This kind of tribulation made the desperate Shisanlang want to die? The emperor himself praised you as a thousand-mile horse in the past. Since you are a thousand-mile horse, you must have a day of galloping! As for the throne..." Yinzhen hesitated and whispered Said: "There is a holy will..."

Yinxiang raised his head in surprise: "It's not the old fourteenth..."

"Of course not." With one hand behind his back, Yinzhen looked into the distance with deep eyes, exuding a noble and glamorous aura around him.

"Ah, that's..."

Yinzhen remained calm and quietly raised his chin.

"Mynah?"

What eyes!Didn't you see that Fourth Master was so domineering, and thought it was Eighth Master?Yinzhen's face was dark, and he wanted to stare at him but felt that he had lost his grace, so he said stiffly: "No."

Yinxiang burst into a smile.

Only then did Yinzhen realize that Yinxiang was teasing him! "Old Thirteen! You..."

Yinxiang hurriedly said seriously: "Fourth brother, younger brother knows what you mean, but it's only a few percent sure... The imperial father even handed over the army to the old fourteen, what a favor. What's more, he has an army in his hands, I'm afraid things will change... "

Knowing what he meant, Yinzhen took out a book from the bookshelf, opened it, and found a letter inside, handing it to Yinxiang.

"This is Mr. Dai's letter?"

"That's right." Dai Duo was recommended by him to be an official a few years ago, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing while in office, so he wrote a letter in a few months to analyze the current situation.It has to be said that Dai Duo is a rare wise man who has a very thorough understanding of the current situation.The analysis of the position of the general in this letter hits the nail on the head.

Yinxiang looked carefully, his eyes gradually brightened.Before finishing reading, he raised his head excitedly: "Fourth brother, what Mr. Dai said is very true. Although the position of the general is infinitely honorable, he has been fighting outside the Great Wall all year round, and the soldiers' families are all in Beijing, so there is nothing to be afraid of. In the end, whoever wins the game will have to be killed." Look at the Holy Will."

Yin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.For Yinxiang, Dai Duo is the big killer, no matter what!In Yinxiang's heart, Dai Duo is the half-immortal Dai~500 years before and [-] years after.Even if they are separated by thousands of miles, a letter can make Yinxiang admire.

Yinzhen wondered in his heart, did he let Dai Duo pretend too much... But if Yinxiang is disobedient in the future, he will close the door and let Dai Duo go! "Don't worry, go back. It's not good to stay with me for a long time. How many pairs of eyes are looking at our brothers."

Yinxiang curled his lips: "My younger brother came to see my fourth brother. Brothers and friends are respectful, and the emperor's father is also happy. Who dares to chew their tongues?" Having said that, he obediently left.

Three days later, the imperial decree came down.Yinzhen was appointed as the general of Fuyuan to lead the army to Qinghai, crusade against Cewang Allah Butan, and named him the king of the general. "Use the banner of the Zhenghuang flag to follow the style of the king's banner."It will be printed and set off on the same day.

In December, Yinzhen set out to command the Western Expedition.

Kangxi issued a decree that all the kings, beizi, and the princes who went out for the expedition that day should all be in military uniform and gather in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.The king, Bei Le, Bei Zi, Gong Bing and ministers of the second rank and above who did not go to war all gathered outside the Meridian Gate.

Yinzhen arrived early, and as soon as he got off his horse, he saw Yinzhen riding a horse from afar, dressed in military uniform, full of vigor, his face similar to that of the fourth master exuded brilliance, and his black pupils were as bright as stars. "Fourth brother."

Yinzhen took a deep look at him, and said softly: "Old Fourteen, go and cherish it."

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows: "Thank you fourth brother." He turned around and smiled slightly.Before he left for the expedition, he heard the farewell words so hard that his ears felt callused. It was nothing more than that the great general king had a bright future, and he went to win the flag and punish the traitors for the Qing Dynasty.Only the mother and concubine's family and Yinzhen let him cherish it.This is the brotherhood connected by blood, so warm.

When the hour came, the main gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony opened wide, and Liang Jiugong held the imperial decree in his hand, waiting for the two rows of eunuchs to line up one by one and read it out in public.

Everyone knelt together and shouted long live.

Kangxi took the golden seal of the great general Wang entrusted by the eunuch beside him, and handed it to Yinzhen himself. Yinzhen knelt down to receive the imperial seal, and thanked him in salute.

All the kings and Baylor surrounded Yinzhen.The Kangxi frame was pushed by eunuchs, and the bright yellow tassels hanging from the round cover swayed in the wind.When he went to the parade outside the city, Yinzhen Wangyu kowtowed and saluted, and walked in austerity.

The [-] troops left the customs, and Yinzhen was very busy in the rear.The national treasury is empty, but when marching and fighting, which one does not need money for food, ordnance, or military clothing?There were layers of deductions and mutual excuses... Yinzhen took on the posture of a cold-faced king, and even punished a few who dared to stretch their hands into the military pay.Someone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, but seeing this, he restrained himself a lot.

However, there was a problem with the weapons again. The court had not fought a war for a long time, and the manufacture of weapons could not keep up for a while.Yinzhen continued to put pressure on him, and even dealt with several unfavorable ones. Now the officials of the Ministry of War trembled when they saw his calves, and the weapons still couldn't be urged.

You can't let the soldiers fight with bare hands, Yinzhen thought about it, or went to see Kangxi.Please send some emergency orders from the curry where the troops are stationed along the way.

After entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yinzhen finished asking for peace, and said cautiously: "My son is not doing well, please punish him. The weapon has not been completed yet, and the army is about to fight Cewang Allah Butan. I am afraid it will be too late. I implore The imperial father issued an order to allocate some emergencies from the warehouses where the troops were stationed along the way."

"I have already drawn up the decree, and I will pass it on in a while."

Yinzhen was startled.Kangxi has never asked about the supply of the rear since the day the army set off. It didn't mean he didn't care, but he didn't show it. "Royal father Shengming."

Kangxi moved and changed into a more relaxed posture. "I heard that the salary owed to the soldiers is still a bit short. Did you make up for it with money from your own mansion?"

"Yes. My son is incompetent and can't raise money, so I have to..."

"Sure enough, I saw you right. Do you know why I entrusted this matter to you?"

Fourth master is handsome and has a good figure. You hand over the errand to fourth master to show that you have good vision.Yinzhen hesitated for a moment: "I don't know."

"Then do you know why I sent an order to the Mongolian Prince of Qinghai, 'The Great General is my prince, and you should follow the instructions of the Great General, whether in military affairs or in matters large and small. If you can sincerely work hard, you can instruct me face to face. No difference.'"

"This is the imperial father's love and affection for the fourteenth brother..."

Kangxi's voice was cold: "People's hearts are not in harmony. You are good at handling things, but there are many people who can do this job. The reason why I entrust it to you is that there are not many people who are willing to do the job wholeheartedly. The same is true for the decree. If there is no suppression Well, it may not be easy for Old Fourteen to mobilize the entire army."

Yinzhen had nothing to say, so he had to kowtow: "This is a matter of my son and minister."

Kangxi sighed lightly. "I'll take your four words of loyalty, filial piety, friendship and love." Although these sons made him worry, he still had to plan for them if they were father and son.Now these sons are incompatible with each other, and if one becomes the throne, I am afraid that they will not die well except for being close to him.Especially Yinfeng, the former prince, is an obstacle to any king who comes to power.Brothers killing each other, this is not what he wants to see.If it was Yinzhen...it would be different if it was Yinzhen.

There were countless thoughts in his mind, but Kangxi didn't show it at all, and changed the subject: "I heard that the military uniforms are not ready yet?"

"Yes. But my son..."

……

The candlelight in the Hall of Mental Cultivation stays on until very late.

The author has something to say: I am about to succeed to the throne, which means saying goodbye to Master Kong... (Waving a small handkerchief, Master Kang, I can't bear you~ But if you don't leave, the prince will say goodbye Can't get out...)

The next chapter, the prince brother is finally coming out~~~

54 succession

In November, Emperor Kangxi did not hesitate to stay in Changchun Garden.The fourth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, was ordered to worship heaven on his behalf.

Yinzhen stood in front of the window with a solemn face, staring at the crescent moon in the sky.The candlelight on the table flickered slightly, and the room was quiet.

Cai Ying came in from the outside. There were still dots of snow on her hair, which gradually turned into water droplets and trickled down her forehead. "Grandpa."

Yinzhen didn't turn around. "How about what you were asked to do?"

"It's all settled. I just got the letter, and Wansui's spirit seems to be a little bit worse. I summoned Mr. Zhang Tingyu into the palace overnight."

"Well. It's done well." Yinzhen rarely praised him. "Go down."

Cai Ying didn't leave, hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "Master, you should lie on the bed and rest for a while, I'm afraid it will hurt your body if you continue like this."

Yinzhen pushed open the window suddenly, and the cold wind swept snowflakes into the warm room.Cai Ying fought a cold war. "Grandpa..."

Yinzhen took a deep breath, the cold air made his lungs ache slightly, and his whole body suddenly became much more energetic.

Su Peisheng's voice came from outside the door: "Master, someone is coming from the palace."

coming.

Liang Jiugong stood guard at the door and saw Yinzhen coming to greet him: "I have seen the fourth master. Long live the servant is waiting for you here, you can go in quickly."

Seeing Liang Jiugong's stern and serious face, Xu Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't ask any more questions, so he walked in two steps at a time.

As soon as he entered the hall, a wave of warm air mixed with a strong fragrance of medicine rushed over his face.Kangxi was leaning on the soft couch, his whole body was so thin that he was almost out of shape, his wrist exposed from his sleeves was like a branch of a tree, his eye sockets were sunken, only his deep black pupils were still shining brightly.Seeing Yinzhen coming in, he nodded slightly. "Fourth, you're here."

A generation of Emperor Kangxi, who killed Obai, withdrew from San Francisco, took over Taiwan, fought against Yaksa, and personally conquered Junggar. His name has lasted through the ages, but he was so weak and haggard... Yinzhen held back his tears and knelt down on the ground.This time, even though he was dressed thickly, he still knelt down and let out a plop, which showed the pain in his heart: "I see the emperor's father."

Kangxi sighed softly: "I'm not as energetic these days, and I miss the old thirteen very much. You and the old thirteen are good friends. Tell me that the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang will come to Changchun Garden to face the saint immediately."

"Yes." Yinzhen took a deep look at Kangxi, as if he wanted to imprint Kangxi's appearance in his mind, and his heart ached unbearably.To him, Kangxi is both a king and a father.Due to his dual identities, Kangxi's behavior is unavoidably harsh and unreasonable, but in the end he has a good heart for him.Now, there will be an eternal separation between heaven and man... "Father, my son has gone."

Kangxi smiled slightly, with a gentle tone. "Go. Don't disappoint me."

Yinzhen walked out of Changchun Garden quickly, got on the horse, and wiped his face vigorously, as if to wipe away the sadness on his face.He raised his whip high: "Drive."

A puff of breath filled his chest, and Yinzhen swung his whip again and again.The cold wind was like a knife, cutting on the face and body, making it almost difficult to breathe.

At dawn, the servants in the concierge of Brother Thirteen's Mansion came out wearing thick cotton padded clothes, yawned lazily, and looked at the gray sky outside, thinking whether to sweep the snow at the door. "Huh? What is that..."

A dark shadow was running towards Thirteen Elder Brother's Mansion in the distance, and arrived in front of the door in the blink of an eye.

The servant opened his mouth wide in surprise, this is... Fourth Brother?What's the matter, in a hurry?

Yinzhen pulled the reins, and the horse neighed and stopped.

Yinzhen jumped off the horse neatly.

It's really the fourth elder brother. "Fourth Master..."

Before the words fell, Yinzhen had already walked in quickly. "There is no need to report."

Yinxiang just got up at this time, and the maid was waiting for him to wash up.

As soon as Yinzhen pushed the door, Yinxiang heard the sound, raised his head from the basin, his face was covered with water. "Fourth Brother..."

Standing facing south, Yinzhen said in a deep voice, "Long live the letter, summon the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang to come in immediately."

Yinxiang didn't even have time to wipe his face, so he quickly knelt down. "My son obeys the order." Then he stood up, grabbed the face towel and wiped it carelessly. "Fourth brother, why suddenly..."

Yinzhen glanced at the maid next to him, and frowned slightly, there are too many people here in Yinxiang, and the maid doesn't know who it is.Concealedly said: "The emperor also called the rest of the brothers into the palace."

Yinxiang's face turned pale, and he said with difficulty: "Royal father..."

Yinzhen shook his head. "Not yet... But, it's about time to announce the oracle."

Yinxiang took a breath.Although I have been mentally prepared, when things come to an end, I still...

Yinzhen glanced at the maid next to her who lowered her head. "Let's go."

Yinxiang quickly calmed down and recovered his usual sense of judgment. When he noticed Yinzhen's gaze, he sneered. "Fourth brother, don't worry. Although there are many people here, younger brother, it's okay to talk about yourself now. It's not too late. What does fourth brother want younger brother to do?"

"Although there is Lord Longkodo in the infantry battalion, we still have to..."

"My brother saves it."

Yinxiang took the pen and paper, brushed a few strokes, and ordered his confidant to send it outside the city quickly.

Yinzhen went out first, Yinxiang was a few steps behind, and said indifferently to the guard at the door: "Come on, you poor servant." Then he stepped across the threshold without looking back, and strode towards the white world outside.

Yinzhen Yinxiang soon arrived outside the Changchun Garden, and there was a dead silence inside.The two looked at each other and quickened their pace in unison.

Kneeling in the courtyard are six princes including Yinzhi, Yinhu, Yinhu, and Yin'e.All of them lowered their heads and remained silent, and could clearly hear a needle drop on the ground.Yinzhen Yinxiang also knelt down in order.

When the prince arrived, Longkodo came out of the hall, holding a bright yellow imperial edict.Zhang Tingyu followed him silently.

Swipe, all eyes are on Longkodo alone.

As if he didn't realize it, Longkodo read aloud: "Yongzheng's fourth son, Yinzhen, has a noble character. If he deeply disobeys me, he will be able to inherit the great order and follow me to the throne, that is, the throne of emperor."

"What?" Several people raised their heads almost at the same time, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.It turned out to be Yinzhen!Why Yinzhen?

Yinzhen knew the content of the imperial edict long ago, and even recited it backwards, so he couldn't help but thump in his heart when he first heard it.But he knew that at this time, he couldn't get into trouble.With no expression on his face, he kowtowed heavily: "My son obeys the order."

Yinxiang was in a daze, and kowtowed his head too.Extraordinarily loud and authentic: "My son obeys the order."

Longkodo stood on the steps, looking at the princes without blinking, with a serious expression on his face, holding the sword on his waist with one hand.

Silent shock.

Everyone didn't care whether they were obedient or not, so they could only say "obey the order" when they saw this.

Longkodo then put away the imperial decree. "The servant greets the masters."

Yinzhen took a step forward: "How is the emperor's health? This king wants to enter the palace to pay his respects to the emperor, so please inform me."

The rest of the crowd also cheered and surrounded them.

Long Kodo let out a long sigh, with a look of grief on his face: "Long live is unconscious now. But it's reasonable for the masters to please Long live. This slave is bold enough to invite the masters in."

Longkodo didn't lie.

Kangxi was lying on the couch, and Ren Yinzhen Yinhu kept calling, but his eyes were closed, his breathing was unsteady, and his complexion was gloomy.Several imperial physicians were also helpless around.

Yin'e grabbed the imperial physician next to her, and said sharply: "Is it just for idle food to raise you?"

The imperial doctor knelt on the ground tremblingly: "Slave, slave..."

Long Keduo persuaded softly: "Master Shi, calm down. Wansui should not be noisy now. You have also seen that Wansui is unconscious now. Please go outside and talk."

"How can I talk to you in front of me..."

"Old ten!" Yinhu raised his voice. "Thank you, Lord Longkodo. Then we won't bother the emperor." At first hearing the edict, he was not reconciled, but he knew in his heart that Kangxi would not give him the throne.The remaining brothers, the ninth, tenth, and fourteenth brothers were all close to him, and no matter who succeeded him, a prince would not be able to escape.As for the fourth child... Although the two are not close, at least the fourth child will not attack the brothers.This result is not unacceptable.The most important thing is that Longkodo is the leader of the infantry and is in charge of guarding the Changchun Garden. Now they are all in the garden. If they don't obey the order...

Yinzhen also teased Yin'er.

The eight princes left the hall silently, but none of them wanted to go back.Although the imperial edict was issued, there was still a turning point before Kangxi died.

Yinzhen went in twice to pay his respects, and each time the eight brothers went in together.Kangxi has never been sober.

For the last time, Kangxi heard the call in his ears, opened his eyes slightly, blurred and out of focus, and finally fixed his sight on Yinzhen.Yinzhen hurriedly rushed to the bed: "Royal father!"

Kangxi didn't say anything, just stared at him for a while.With tears streaming down his face, Yinzhen choked with sobs and said, "Although my son is far inferior to the emperor, I swear here that I will treat my brothers kindly and protect my great Qing Dynasty forever!"

Kangxi's eyes were still confused, and he didn't know if he heard it. After a while, he closed his eyes.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and there was a loud cry.

Yinzhen bit his lips tightly, unwilling to let out a cry of grief, clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails pinched his palms to blood, his throat choked with sobs, and tears streamed down his face.

Longkodo came over. "Long live my condolences. You
