Kangxi seemed to have heard something very ordinary, if it weren't for the slightly trembling hands clenched with ten fingers under the pajamas, it would really make people think that Yinhu just said something innocuous.He stared at Yinhu silently for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Get up."

After Kangxi finished speaking, he went to the Kang table and sat down, then asked again: "What did you just say, say it again."

Yinhu also felt a little uneasy in his heart, bowed his head and said slowly: "My son got a secret report, saying that it was the second elder brother who... made friends with powerful ministers, recruited capable people and wise men, and used power with them for personal gain, intending to commit rebellion and usurpation."

Kangxi's voice was still very calm, and he asked with a little emotion: "Where did you get the secret report? Do you have evidence?"

"When Mr. He went to the south of the Yangtze River a while ago, he happened to meet an actor in the original Beijing. He is the prince's confidant. After the prince was abolished, the actor also fell into a slump. Now he is still living in misery. In order to protect himself, he wrote down a list of ministers who conspired with the prince. Mr. He saw that the matter was of great importance. They kept sending people to send them over, but my son didn't dare to deal with it alone, so he had to hand it over to Huang Amasheng."

Kangxi rested his fingers on the lid of the teacup and tapped lightly. In the empty hall, even the sound of each other's breathing could be heard clearly, and there was a little bit of rustling sound not far away, which seemed extraordinarily empty and quiet. silent.

After a long while, Kangxi said, "Did you bring that list? Show it to me."

Yinhu hurriedly took it out of his bosom and presented it, this thing was not something else, it was the blood book written by Liu Mengdie himself back then.Yinhu looked carefully at Kangxi's face from above, and said in a low voice: "The actor said that writing with pen is not enough to be believed, so he replaced ink with blood."

Kangxi persevered and read the blood book slowly, the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, and it was almost gloomy afterward. "This bastard..." Kangxi cursed in a low voice, and suddenly threw the bloody book on the table fiercely. Although there was no anger on his face, but after this person's anger reached its peak, he would appear calmer.

Kangxi is like this now.

Seeing this, Yinhu quickly knelt down and persuaded: "Huang Ama, please calm down. If Huang Ama gets angry again because of this, it will be a great crime for my son."

Kangxi frowned and waved his hands and said: "What does it have to do with you, get up. I have given him honor and favor for thirty years, who knows that he is so rebellious! In vain I thought that he was cursed by Yinyin's witchcraft He lost his mind and did something wrong, looking at it now, he really didn't wrong him at all back then! This unfilial son!"

Yinhu lowered her head and said in a deep voice: "Huang Ama, my son did not hand over this thing to frame the prince or sow discord, but no matter how incompetent my son is, I can't bear to watch Huang Ama be deceived by a traitor." , has been kept in the dark. It's just that although the second brother has done something wrong, his nature has never been bad, so please ask Huang Ama for mercy."

A sharp light flashed across Kangxi's eyes, and he said angrily: "Are you going to plead for him now? At the dinner party two days ago, he said every word and every word aimed at you! What did you just say? Sowing dissension, I think he is the one who really wants to sow discord with evil intentions. I haven't said anything these years, but it's not because I'm confused! When you sacrificed your life to save me, you didn't hesitate for a moment, just because of your sincerity I don’t want to let you be planted in vain!”

Yinhu leaned down, kowtowed heavily and said: "At the beginning, my son escorted the car. Although there was a relationship between a monarch and a minister, it was more of a father-son relationship. This is human nature. Huang Ama thought of my son's love in his heart. Well, I am grateful, but I have never thought of taking credit for this, Huang Ama Mingcha."

Kangxi's anger seemed to calm down a little at this moment, he nodded and said: "I understand your intentions naturally, so there is no need to say more."

Yinhu still knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "My son took this thing and presented it to Huang Ama tonight. Someone will criticize it in the future. I just think about Huang Ama wholeheartedly. This life will be like this." The oath back then is just like that, if there is a second heart, heaven and earth will perish! If someone slanders Huang Ama in the future, I can only ask Huang Ama to give my son justice!"

Yinhu knew in his heart that he gave Kangxi this thing tonight, and Kangxi couldn't think too much now in his anger, but if his anger passed, he might doubt and guess more about himself.Now that one step has been taken, the road behind must be paved more solidly.Being able to bring down the prince is only one of them, and striving for self-protection is the more critical move.

It took Kangxi a long time before he asked slowly, "Are you afraid that I will suspect you?"

"I don't dare, I'm just afraid that there will be another treacherous person to frame me, and I won't be able to say that I will be imprisoned." Yinhu buried his head lower and lower, and his voice trembled uncontrollably, "My son Now he is regarded as half a useless person, and now he will not have the thought of being a child. Only wishing to assist Mingjun and be a capable minister for a lifetime is the biggest thing in my heart now."

After Kangxi listened to his words, he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional between his eyebrows, and sighed: "If all my sons can think like you, I will really feel comforted. This Keep your things, I know what you say, so don't worry." He paused, and then said in a deep voice, "It's night, step back."

In the next few days, Kangxi did not do anything unusual, and remained as before.It's just that Kangxi wanted to live in Changchun Garden for more than a month, but for some reason, he drove back to the palace about ten days earlier.Because the Empress Dowager was still in the Changchun Garden, Kangxi ordered the crown prince Yinreng to stay here, and was driven by the Empress Dowager Feng, and he brought Yinzhen and Yinhu back to the palace in a hurry.

Kangxi's first decree after returning to Beijing was to depose Tuo Heqi, the admiral of the nine gates at the time, and put him in prison.Afterwards, Geng E, Qi Shiwu, E Chan, Tuo Tu and others were first reprimanded. Three days later, Tuo Heqi was sentenced to hang for bribery in Shen Tiansheng's case. Geng E and Qi Shiwu were also sentenced to hang. He seized the officials and put them under house arrest, and tried to cut down the family records, and entered the tomb of Prince Kushouan, the Xinzhe.

This sudden change caused panic among the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty, but Yinhu knew in his heart that this was just a small prologue.Everything at this moment is nothing more than a storm that is about to come.The real top priority is yet to come...

Kangxi then ordered Tong Guowei's son Long Ke to serve as the admiral of the Nine Gates, and ordered Ertai, the first-class bodyguard, to lead troops to Changchun Garden to protect the Empress Dowager Fengjia.Ertai was ordered to set off immediately, and Changchun Garden was surrounded by water, and it was too late when Yinreng received the news.

On August 44th of the [-]th year of Kangxi, on the day the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, Kangxi announced to everyone, "Emperor Prince Yinfeng has not been cured of his madness since his restoration, and he has lost people's hearts. The ancestor Hongye must not entrust this person. I have already played I heard that the Empress Dowager ordered Yinfeng to be detained and guarded." Afterwards, Yinfeng was deposed and imprisoned in Xian'an Palace.On October [-]th, Kangxi once again sent officials to sacrifice to heaven and earth, Taimiao, and Sheji about the abolition of the crown prince.

The father-son relationship between Kangxi and Yinfeng was truly broken at this moment.Since the crown prince was abolished again, Kangxi kept silent and did not propose the establishment of a crown prince. The officials knew that Kangxi had completely given up on the crown prince, and no one dared to touch this bad head and burn himself.However, before the first month of the new year came, the empress dowager's weak body, which had been lingering on the sick bed, was finally exhausted, and she passed away in Ningshou Palace on the seventh day of the first month.Under Kangxi's grief, he often couldn't eat and sleep at night. On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Kangxi went to Ningshou Palace to drink and offer sacrifices in person.The palace in front of me still looks the same, but the queen mother has already traveled westward on a crane, and she was greatly mourned for a while, leaning over and crying bitterly.

Kangxi has always had a very good relationship with this aunt, and the grief in his heart is beyond words. Coupled with the death of Wei Dongting and the abandonment of the crown prince, Kangxi's old body was finally overwhelmed. Within half a month after the death of the empress dowager, he recovered from his illness. get up.

In the past, the gorgeous palaces and extravagant Langyuan had become so dilapidated in just a few months, and there was an aura of decay everywhere.

"North wind is cool, rain and snow are evil. Benefit and love me, go hand in hand. Is it evil? Urgent only! The north wind is harsh, rain and snow are falling. Benefit and love me, hand in hand and go together. The emptiness Is it evil? Urgent, but only!"

Before entering the courtyard, Yinzhen already heard the sound of the piano. The singer seemed to have thousands of melancholy in his heart, and it made people feel bitter after listening to it over and over again.He took a few steps forward, looked at the man with a half-smile, and called respectfully, "Second Brother, Second Brother is so elegant."

Yinreng was awakened by his life, looked up at him with a malicious smile, and said coldly: "It's you? What are you doing here? Now that I've ended up in this situation, you still have to step on two more steps." Can't get your feet up?"

Now there was a slight smile on Yinhu's usually indifferent face, he tightened his neckline and sat down on the stone bench opposite him, and said lightly: "You are right, now that you are in this field, there is really no need for me to come again Look at you, you don't have anything for me to be sarcastic about. But I'm still a little curious about some things, and I want to ask my second brother to enlighten me.

"What's the matter?"

Yinzhen didn't want to beat around the bush, and cut straight to the point: "Why do you have to target Lao Ba everywhere after all these years?"

"Why are you asking me this? And why am I telling you."

"It's just curiosity. As for why the second brother said..." Yinzhen smiled slightly, with a bit of disdain in his eyes, "If it was before, the second brother could have refused my request, but... the second brother is now, Is there any other choice?"

After hearing this, Yinfeng couldn't help laughing and said, "What you said is what you said! At this point, I really have no choice. The old eight seems not to fight for merit or fame, but he is still a group of people. He is very popular among ministers and even scholars. Tell me about such a person, can I not guard against it?"

"So, you want to trap him again and again?"

"This crown prince's position is mine, and that position should be mine in the future. You all want to compete with me! If that's the case, how can I not act first? It's a pity that I'm still one step too late. If I had known that there would be future troubles today, I should have ended that bastard Liu Mengdie early that day!" When Yinreng said this, his smile suddenly became more serious, "Mr. Four, I know you want to sit in that chair, but even if you don’t have me, the boss, and Thirteen, you won’t be able to get it so easily. Besides the third, there is also the eighth. , and fourteen more."

"what do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean much. It's all about the words. The fourth brother is extremely smart. Don't you need me to say more?"

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Prince, is this provocative? No one in this world can be trusted, and I only trust Yinhu."

Yinfeng looked at him playfully, and a strange and unpredictable smile appeared on the corner of his lips, his voice was low and meaningful, "If that's the case, I knew it a long time ago, you really have such an inexplicable ambiguity with him inside."

Yinzhen snorted coldly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Second brother, is he in a daze? Yes, didn't Huang Ama also say that your madness has not been cured? If the illness is not cured, then take good care of it, don't bother." It’s better to come out and bite people.”

Yinfeng smiled very pleased, clapped his hands and said: "Second brother, fourth child, can you really hide it from me? I can see that you are thinking about it when you were young. It's so tight that people can't find any flaws, unlike Shisan, that idiot... huh!"

Yinzhen's face became colder, he got up and said in a deep voice: "It seems that you are really still seriously ill, second brother, let's get well, and younger brother will leave first." But just as he turned around, he heard Yinfeng whispering He said a word, the voice was extremely resentful, but with a bit of pleasure, like the letter of a poisonous snake, it meandered towards him.

"Back when my eighth brother and I went to Jiangxi on business, he was still young, and he was already pretty good... Now that he's grown up, he's even more beautiful. The fourth brother is really lucky... woo...!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was beaten so hard by Yin Zhen's oncoming punch, this punch was so hard that Yin Reng spat out a mouthful of blood.However, before he could raise his head, Yinzhen grabbed the hem of his clothes and pulled him up, and asked sharply, "What did you just say? Say it again!"

There was still blood on the corner of Yinfeng's mouth, and there was a lot of dust on his clothes. He was extremely embarrassed, but when he saw Yinzhen's appearance, he smiled even more heartily, and said slowly, "I said, when the eighth brother Although young, the taste is already good, the lips are very soft, and the touch is also..."

"Shut up!" Yinzhen was furious, and stretched out his hands to clamp Yinreng's throat fiercely, hating him so much that he strangled Yinreng to death like this.That person's so clear and pure appearance was actually humiliated by this bastard... Just thinking about this, Yinzhen is about to go mad with anger!

Yinfeng's throat was tightly locked by him, his voice was hoarse but he still managed to laugh and said: "You strangled me...cough...but I...have...no loss! Cough cough..."

Now it is the end of winter, the season of freezing weather has not yet passed, but Yinzhen feels that he is about to be burned to death by this anger.He confronted Yinreng for an unknown amount of time, gradually looking at Yinreng's face that was about to turn pale, Yinzhen felt a chill in his heart, this beast is not a pity to die, but it is really not worth doing it himself!

He slammed Yinrong to the ground with all his strength, and his words were never harsher than before, "Just live your current stable life, and I will make you pay for what you did that day." cost!"

There are overgrown dead trees outside the Xian'an Palace, and the thick soles of the boots creak on them. This kind of depression and decline can make people feel depressed and depressed for no reason.

After Yinzhen left the palace, he told Su Peisheng, "If you don't go back to the mansion, go to Ba Ye."

Su Peisheng looked at him with a very gloomy expression, fearing that his words and mistakes would offend him, so he responded repeatedly, and served him more carefully.

Yinhu was playing chess with Jin Nan in the study at that time, only to hear Lu Lianrong rushing outside to announce, "Ba Ye, Si Ye is here, it seems that he just came out of the palace, and his complexion is not very good."

When Yinhu heard the words, he and Jin Nan looked at each other, and Jin Nan immediately said: "If that's the case, let's go down another day."

Yinhu smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm really sorry, sir, let Lu Lianrong take him back."

Jin Nan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "They're all in the same yard, why bother with Steward Lu? The Caomin retreated first."

Not long after Jin Nan left, Yinhu saw Yinzhen walking in with a sullen face. The gloomy expression on his face was comparable to the black sable fur on his body, and he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? about you?"

Yinzhen looked at the person in front of him, and when he thought of what Yinfeng said just now, he felt even more angry. He stepped forward and grabbed Yinhu's shoulder, and asked sharply: "When you and Yinfeng went to Jiangxi, what happened to him? What did it do to you?"

Yinhu was slightly stunned at first, then his face turned pale, and he immediately remembered what happened back then.He never talked about this matter with Yinzhen, lest he would lose control and do something after he said it.But now that he came to interrogate himself in person, Yinhu was flustered in his heart, turned his head away and said in a low voice: "You...how did you know?"

This was a tacit agreement, and Yinzhen was furious when he heard it, and said angrily: "Don't talk about him first, what did that bastard do to you?"

Looking at his appearance, Yinhu knew that this matter could no longer be concealed, so he sighed and talked to him about the general of the past, and then added, "He came so suddenly. It went very fast, I just thought it was bitten by a dog. Now that he has fallen to such a state, why are you so angry about it?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yinzhen's face became even more ugly, "It's been so many years, why have you never told me?"

Yinhu was stunned for a moment, and said kindly: "I don't think there is anything to say. Besides, I feel disgusted when I think about it. I told you, didn't you feel disgusted too?"

"Could it be that in your eyes, I am so unreliable? If it is said that our relationship was not as good as it is now, then it's fine if you don't say it. But after all these years, why have you kept hiding it?" In Yinzhen's voice With a hint of hurt, he stared firmly at Yinhu's eyes and said, "I'm just like that, can't I let you rely on me?"

After hearing this, Yinhu felt a throbbing pain in her heart, and quickly said: "You misunderstood, it's not the case. I just feel that it's very embarrassing to say it, and it's such a bad thing, and it's not happy to say it. Don't be upset, it won't happen in the future."

Yinzhen snorted coldly, his face was a little less relaxed than before, but his tone was still very unhappy, "You have to promise me that you have to tell me anything in the future, and you must not lie to me. You If you really lied to me, how would I know!"

Yinhu smiled wryly, "I'll just agree with you, just now I saw you coming in from the outside in a fit of anger, I'm still someone in the palace who got angry with you."

"Isn't this enough to make me angry?"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Yinzhen still felt that it was not enough, so he hugged Yinhu fiercely and kissed him, frowning and muttering while kissing, "I don't know if I have cleaned it for you over the years, it seems that I need to clean it several times... "

Yinhu knew that he was like a child when he lost his temper, and there was no reason to speak, so he simply stopped struggling.What's more, I didn't tell him about this matter, and Yinzhen's very sad appearance just now made Yinhu feel guilty, so he let him do it.

In the past few days, Kangxi's body has just seen some improvement, but the court has become restless again.The most eye-catching one is Yinzhi's accusation against Yinhu, saying that he "still celebrated his birthday during the anniversary of the death of the queen mother, and regarded filial piety as nothing".After Kangxi finished listening with a cold face, he turned to Yinhu and asked, "If I remember correctly, it was your birthday a few days ago?"

Yinhu bowed his head and replied very respectfully, "It was the tenth day of the Lunar New Year when I returned to Huang Ama. My son was very sad because of the death of the queen mother, and I couldn't eat it. On that day, the third brother came to give the birthday gift in person. It should be known that the minister did not act disrespectfully."

Yinzhi hurriedly cupped his hands, "I dare not lie to Huang Ama, it is because I saw with my own eyes that day that there are many wine jars and melons in the courtyard of my eighth younger brother, I dare not say anything false! "

Kangxi looked at Yinhu, only to see him smile wryly, with all kinds of melancholy coming to his heart, he bowed his head and said in a low voice: "Huihuang Ama, after the son's birthday, in a few days it will be my mother's birthday." Shengji...these are all for Er Niang..."

When Kangxi heard his voice getting lower and lower, his thin shoulders trembled a little, he felt unbearable in his heart, and thought of Concubine Liang's appearance when she was still alive, she felt very sad, waved her hands and said: "Okay, there is no need to talk about it."

How could Yinzhi be willing to let Yinhu escape like this, and then stepped forward and said: "Huang Ama..."

"Enough! You said he doesn't understand filial piety, do you understand? I just recovered from a serious illness, and you said these things in a hurry. Is this an act of pure filial piety?!"

Seeing Kangxi getting angry, Yinzhi immediately knelt on the ground in fright, Kangxi didn't even want to look at him again, frowned, waved his sleeves and got up to leave.However, because of this incident, the disgust and taboo towards Yinzhi deepened.

On the tenth day of March in the 45th year of Kangxi, the seventh son of the emperor Yinyou was promoted to Prince Chun, the eighth son of the emperor Yinhu was the Prince of Jinlian, and the emperor's fourteenth son Yinzhen was promoted to Baylor of Jin.

In May of the same year, Cervan Allah Butan was ambitious and made troubles again and again. Kangxi appointed the young Yinzhen as the deputy general of the army, and together with General Fu Ning'an, he went to crusade against Cervan Allah Butan.
