Emperor order

In the 27th year of Kangxi, Yu Shi Guoxiu impeached Nalan Mingzhu for more than 20 crimes, including party formation and selfishness, which shocked the government and the public.Kangxi was furious, dismissed the Bachelor of the Mingzhu University, handed it over to the Minister of the Guards, and most of his party members were also dismissed one after another.The situation in the court changed drastically in an instant, and the courtiers were all panicked, fearing that they would be the next one the emperor would investigate.However, after Kangxi dealt with a large number of Mingzhu's followers, there was no further movement.At this point, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Capital City, Er Age's Mansion.

"Second Master, we have fallen apart, what should we do?" Hu Ming, one of Yinyin's counselors, asked with some anxiety.

Yinfei's face was gloomy, and Mingzhu had a great influence on him.The contacts that he had accumulated with great difficulty were basically gone now, so why didn't he feel bad!

"Did Prime Minister Ming leave any message for me?" Yinbi asked, holding back his irritability.

Li Ran, another counselor, lowered his voice and said, "Mingxiang only left one word 'forbearance'."

Yinyin pondered: "Forbearance? I understand a little bit. In the future, Suo'etu will dominate alone. It is hard to guarantee that he will not get carried away. We just need to wait slowly, and he will show his flaws sooner or later. At that time, we want to defeat him It's so much easier."

"Second Lord, there is one more person, we have to pay attention to that, and that is the elder brother Chenghu." Hu Ming who regained his composure reminded Yinyin softly, "Suo'etu is the uncle of his mother-in-law, Queen Hesheli, they must It will become one. As far as I know, the emperor's favor for him has returned. Therefore, if you want to move Suo Ertu, you must not ignore big brother."

Speaking of Chenghu, Yinxuan's mood was even worse: "He is the eldest son, and it is reasonable for Huang Ama to love him. But, I will not admit defeat just because of this. So what about the eldest son, he is not the prince. Even if he becomes the crown prince, I will not give up that seat."

Li Ran nodded appreciatively: "Second Lord is right to think so. In fact, even if he is the eldest son, it doesn't mean that he is sure of the position. First of all, the elder brother's health is not good, but the emperor is still in his prime Therefore, it is still a question of whether he can survive until that time. Second, the elder brother has not married a wife, let alone has an heir. As long as the second master allows Fujin to give birth to a grandson before him, then you The odds of winning will be greatly increased.”

After listening to Li Ran's analysis, Yin Yin's heart became more and more stable. "You guys are right. To put it bluntly, how long he can live is still a question. Compared with a sick ghost, I have a lot more time." Yinbi raised the corners of his mouth proudly.

"So, Second Master, the next thing you have to do is to work hard to win the favor of the emperor. After all, who is appointed as the crown prince is a matter of the emperor's words. Therefore, you must let the emperor see that you are all The best among brothers." Li Ran urged.

Yinfei suddenly sighed: "It is not easy to get the favor of Huang Ama. You also know that my mother is not favored. Moreover, I am martial arts and proficient, and I can't show it in the court. It's hard to get Huang Ama to notice me!"

"There is no good opportunity now, but it does not mean that there will be no future. I dare say that within two years, your opportunity will come, Second Master." Hu Ming's eyes sparkled.

"You mean, Galdan in the west?" Yinfei immediately thought of what Hu Ming was referring to.

Hu Ming nodded: "Exactly. So, Second Master, you should prepare well!"

Yinxuan was suddenly full of ambition: "I understand. Don't worry, I won't miss this opportunity."

Yinbi's side is plotting, and Chenghu's side doesn't stop.

At that time, Cheng Hu had already moved out of the palace and moved into his new mansion.His mansion is very close to the Forbidden City, within a few steps is the Shenwu Gate.This was specially arranged by Kangxi to make it as easy as possible for Chenghu to enter the palace.

Overall, the mansion is not too big, but it is exquisite, with a bit of Jiangnan style.This made Cheng Hu very satisfied, this kind of scenery reminded him of his small courtyard by the Yellow River.I have to say that he really misses those carefree days.

"Huang Ama's hands and feet are really fast. In such a short period of time, Mingzhu's power has been almost suppressed. In the future, Suo'etu will be in trouble!" Cheng Hu held the green tea and tasted it carefully.

Those who accompanied him to analyze the situation, except Gao Lang, did not think about him. "Should you warn Suo'etu? Once Mingzhu falls, the emperor's next target will be him." Gao Lang asked leisurely.

Cheng Hu shook his head: "He's not a fool, he doesn't need me to mention everything. Besides, he knows it in his heart. So, haven't you noticed that he has kept a low profile recently?"

"It's a bit." Gao Lang recalled Suo'etu's recent actions, and affirmed Chenghu's words, "However, what do you plan to do in the future?"

Cheng Hu tilted his head and thought seriously: "At this stage, I have only one opponent, and that is Yin Yin. However, he is still just a fledgling elder brother. If Mingzhu falls, he will definitely choose to go dormant. And I can't take the initiative to attack, so I have to wait!"

Gao Lang said in a deep voice: "Waiting for what? Waiting for him to make meritorious deeds?"

Cheng Hu blinked mischievously: "Of course. If I don't draw out his ambition, how can I prescribe the right medicine?"

"So, what about the others?" Gao Lang acquiesced in Cheng Hu's plan.

"Let's look at the situation first. They are too young to see any clues yet. We can't all look at the problem according to the established history. Maybe some situations have changed." Cheng Hu still wants to observe Watch his brothers.

If everything is still as it has been in history, everyone will fight to the death for the throne, and there will be no brotherhood left.As long as there is a slight hint, then he doesn't mind being preemptive and breaking their wings before they grow up.On the contrary, he will watch them grow silently, restrict them appropriately, and give them opportunities appropriately.In fact, these sons of Kangxi are all capable, as long as they are used well, they will definitely support the Qing Dynasty.However, I am afraid that they are too ambitious and forget themselves, causing irreparable damage to the Qing Dynasty.This, he will never allow.

Gao Lang said abruptly: "You seem to have integrated into this place, into the identity of the prince of the Qing Dynasty."

Cheng Hu was slightly startled: "Don't tell me, you still regard yourself as an outsider."

Gao Lang didn't speak for a while, and after a long silence, he said, "It turns out that we have already entered the game."

Cheng Hu immediately rolled his eyes: "I didn't even know, so you are so slow."

"I always thought you and I were just bystanders. If it wasn't for falling in love with Kangxi, you probably wouldn't interfere with anything, would you?" Gao Lang calmly analyzed, "And I originally planned to settle you down , leave this cage. Looking at it now, it seems that I can’t leave.”

Cheng Hu pretended to be moved: "Brother Lang, you are so kind to me!"

Gao Lang glanced at him: "Don't make me vomit."

Cheng Hu's complexion was complete: "Actually, besides me, in the Forbidden City, do you have other people you care about? For example, Master Gao, such as my eighth younger brother."

Gao Lang's face remained unchanged: "My father, I naturally care about it. As for the eighth elder brother, we don't have any special friendship."

"You just continue to deceive yourself! You are very good to him, but you still refuse to admit it." Cheng Hu mercilessly exposed Gao Lang's tricks, "However, Brother Lang, if you want a son, you can find a woman to have one yourself. Well! Why bother to stare at other people's children. You are not too young, it's time to consider starting a family."

"Where did you see that I have paternal love for my eighth elder brother?" Gao Lang asked through gritted teeth.

Cheng Hu shook his head and replied, "Many aspects."

Gao Lang really had the urge to beat Chenghu violently: "Don't worry, I'm not that old yet. But, are you afraid that you will be forced to marry again? A 20-year-old virgin."

Cheng Hu was almost choked to death by Gao Lang's words: "Don't poke my scar, don't you?"

The pride in Gao Lang's eyes flashed: "I'm sorry, I'm not anymore."

Cheng Hu was not reconciled, but also curious: "Who did you give it to for the first time? A certain brothel girl?"

"You guessed it right." Gao Lang said frankly.

"You really dare to go to that kind of place for recreation, are you not afraid of getting sick?" Cheng Hu said maliciously.

Gao Lang told the truth: "Don't worry, I ordered Qingguan. Don't try to change the subject, you haven't answered my question yet."

Cheng Hu said helplessly: "Not yet, but it should be soon."

"Planning to procrastinate again?" Gao Lang raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I don't need to worry about it this time, Huang Ama will take care of it." Cheng Hu's tone became lighter again.

Gao Lang sincerely sighed: "It's great to have an emperor as a backer!"

No matter what Chenghu and Yinyi's respective plans are, they still have to live their lives.Suddenly, Kangxi arrived in the 28th year.Not long after the beginning of spring this year, Tong Jia fell ill.But in the summer, Tong Jia's family was officially declared to be terminally ill with no cure.

Chenghu still has some feelings for Tong Jiashi.However, when he heard that Kangxi had decided to confer the title of empress to Tong Jiashi in order to please her, Cheng Hu still felt uncomfortable reflexively.Ugly possessiveness!He couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart.

"Concubine Tong's days are numbered, I want to give her some comfort." Kangxi explained to Chenghu awkwardly.

Cheng Hu's eyelids drooped: "I know, so I didn't say anything."

The reason why he remained silent on this matter was because of Tong Jiashi and because of Yinzhen.Now there is only one legitimate son in the palace, and that is Chenghu.However, if Tong Jiashi is canonized as a queen, then as her adopted son, Yinzhen's status will be greatly improved.Although it can't be completely regarded as a son of a son, but at least it is worth half of a son of a son.In this way, apart from Chenghu, among all the elder brothers, Yinzhen has the highest status.This result is what Cheng Hu is happy to see.

Kangxi sighed softly: "Chenghu, as far as our identities are concerned, appropriate tolerance is necessary."

"You can do whatever you want! I have no objection. Concubine Tong Mu is very kind to me, and I can accept her as your third queen. But, don't think about having a fourth queen. In this case, I will never allow it." Cheng Hu said firmly.
