emperor becomes prince

All people are fighting, either for power, or for survival, or, for the ambitions in their hearts...

The official court and even the members of the front line are engaged in internal struggles because of different interests or different ideas, and the internal struggle seems to be endless, and it has continued...

Although, on the surface, it seems that the sea is still calm... But in fact, this is just the calm before the storm.

However, even so, there is still no shortage of self-deception.

After falling into the vortex of Gongdou, apart from dealing with the loss of the young girl and tracking down the murderer, Zhu Di gradually kept a low profile later on, making an appearance of being weak.In order to "maintain the balance", Kangxi also suppressed the other elder brothers one by one because he still had a slight preference for the prince.

Afterwards, news of an insurgent army under the banner of the former Ming came from a remote county town. The prince, who had been quite depressed in the palace for a long time, heard the news and hurriedly challenged Kangxi.

It's just that this will inevitably create a vacuum for the princeling's power - with the methods of the other elder brothers, after the prince returns, it is unknown how much power the princeling can retain.

Naturally, Kangxi also thought of this level. Although he was pleased with the prince's "concern for the country and the people" and "selflessness", he still tactfully dissuaded him from his behavior.

Unexpectedly, the prince insisted abnormally this time. Kangxi refused, so he knelt at the gate of Qianqing Palace. Kangxi felt helpless but also quite moved. Impeachment, I sighed in my heart, I'm afraid that the child Yinfeng heard something, so he asked to send troops to go out to avoid suspicion, right?The state is prior to personal power struggles, and the goodwill of not competing with brothers...Why can't those who keep telling the prince's brutality can't see...

Probably... everyone would think so, the prince couldn't see the situation clearly, and took the initiative to stay away from the center of the vortex of power... But this might not be a way to die and survive.

Standing in Beijing, Zhu Di stared at the Forbidden City, which was dazzling even in the daytime. The spring breeze in March made his black hair flutter.Under the armor on his head, no one noticed that a strand of black hair had emerged from his originally clean forehead...

Sometimes, fighting head-on isn't necessarily the best way, especially when your nominal father and brother...everyone is wary of you.

However, it is precisely because there is a trustworthy person who has been guarding his back, never abandoning, never betraying, and always being steadfast, that he can let go so gracefully...

Because I know that person will protect all the power for him, and even use the guilt created by the emperor to master more power...

After all, without power, there is no way to the ideal, and the ideal is just an illusory thing.

This time, the enemy was more difficult, and Zhu Di spent a longer time outside. From the first thaw of the ice and snow in early spring to the resounding cicadas in summer, a season of years slipped by between his fingers before he knew it.

These three months were extremely difficult for Kangxi.All the longing and anxiety seemed to be chasing the figure of the angry horse in fresh clothes and galloped away, never returning.

There is no correspondence, even if there is a memorial stating that the prince is all right, he still can't help but worry about whether the child will lose weight, will he suffer, will he be injured...

Even though he knew that these were what the future king should bear, he couldn't help but worry.

Now, he has even begun to regret, regretting that he transferred the child away from his side, regretting not telling him to write to himself every day...

Especially, when returning from the struggle for power in the court every day, when he was exhausted, what filled his heart was the child's frowns and smiles, as if, only in the eyes of that child, which was as silent as a deep pool, To get a moment of peace and rest...

At that moment, he almost had a crazy urge to hug that child tightly and never separate! ! !

stop!stop!Kangxi smiled wryly and rubbed his forehead, what is this all about?

He, Aixinjue Luo Xuanye, actually had such abnormal feelings for his own son?

I can't say what kind of emotion it is, but Kangxi knows it is abnormal, so he can't help but feel a little panic and a little anger in his heart.

Standing up, stepping up, walking to the desk, holding out a large stack of official documents sent by the ministers today, Kangxi began to bury himself in the pile of memorials.

If you think about it, it means you are still too free, doesn't it?In this case... After the memorial is approved, there will be no such inexplicable impulse anymore, right?

In Wenhua Palace, Hongxi was not so relaxed.Hongxi, or Zhu Zhanji, replaced his grandfather Zhu Di to handle a series of events that were originally under the jurisdiction of the prince-of course, this was also approved by Kangxi.

This young man with the oldest grandson quickly showed his extraordinary side, handling things in an orderly manner, but not overstepping his own duty. Compared with Zhu Di, he was more lenient in his dealings with others, even in court. Among them, there are quite a few people who have a good impression of this young man.

Zhu Zhanji has always been a gentle person. Of course, his gentleness naturally hides the sharpness that others can't detect!

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Di was able to hand over all matters to him with confidence.

With ten years of experience as an emperor, even compared with the most secretive fourth elder brother, he is no less shy.

The deepest part of this young man is that except for Zhu Di, almost no one can discover his depth.

The killing spirit on the battlefield really changed the more than [-] people brought by Zhu Di.

Although hundreds of people have been lost in the constant battles, those who survived have lost their youthful innocence and cultivated a pair of griffin-like eyes, as well as a deep and introverted expression precipitated by the battlefield. .

Zhu Di mingled with the soldiers all day long, and he took the lead when fighting and killing the enemy. His command was decisive and effective, and he quickly established a high prestige in this camp.

Almost everyone, when talking about their coach, will look at Zhu Di with a mixture of admiration and admiration, even though Zhu Di has not actually been awarded any position.

It's just that he led a group of soldiers to attack as the crown prince, that's all.

However, there is such a kind of person, they are born to exist as kings, just standing there can make people look sideways, making people... involuntarily... want to follow...

Let's not mention the mixed moods of these soldiers for the time being, but Zhu Di is also considering how useful these people are.

It is true that they obey his management and obey his command now, but after all, they are just 'soldiers of the imperial court', not his Zhu Di's power.

If, one day, he was bound to confront Kangxi, would this group of people still obey his command?

Thinking of this, Zhu Di began to quietly test these people...

June to July is the rainy season. Once the dark clouds spread, there will be a downpour.

The deputy commander looked at the gloomy sky, looked at the thunder that howled and rolled across the gray sky from time to time, and asked Zhu Di hesitantly: "Prince, I am afraid that there will be heavy rain soon when we are traveling now. Can we delay the time to return to Beijing? ?”

Zhu Di looked at the sky, nodded and said, "Alright, let the brothers rest for a while before leaving."

Therefore, Kangxi, who was far away in the capital, waited in the Qianqing Palace, but he couldn't wait for the news of the prince's return.For this reason, he has almost personally visited the gate of the palace several times, and urged the guards at the gate of the palace to let the prince come to see him immediately once he returns.

For him, three months has really been, too long, too long...
