Emperor order

Chenghu was used to doing his own thing, and with Kangxi's acquiescence, those ministers naturally couldn't do anything to him.So, soon, the ministers shifted their targets and aimed at the fifth elder brother, seventh elder brother, and eighth elder brother who had grown up but had not yet married Fujin.

In fact, Kangxi already knew the candidates for Yinqi and Yinyou's succession to Fujin.It is Yinhu's side, which is more troublesome.This eighth elder brother has been in the limelight recently, and many ministers have noticed him.However, his mother's background was humble, which also made many ministers who were interested swayed.However, if Yinhu could marry a worthy Fujin, the situation would be very different.Therefore, many people are waiting to see which minister's daughter the emperor will marry to Eighth Prince.

On this day, Chenghu was ordered by Kangxi to come to Qianqing Palace to discuss state affairs with him.However, when he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, the little eunuch who was staying in the Qianqing Palace told him that Kangxi had gone to the Yikun Palace where Concubine Yi lived, and asked Cheng Hu to wait for a while.Cheng Hu waited for about half an hour before Kangxi came slowly.

After entering the inner hall, Cheng Hu immediately asked with some distaste: "What's wrong with Concubine Yi?"

Kangxi didn't care about his sour attitude: "She wants to betroth her niece to Lao Ba to be a Fujin."

"Ah?" Cheng Hu suddenly recalled that Yinhu's Di Fujin in history was Yifei's niece Guo Luoluo, a famous tigress.

Kangxi raised his head and asked, "Have you seen it?"

Cheng Hu immediately shook his head: "I haven't seen it before. However, the eighth brother should have met her before. Otherwise, Concubine Yi wouldn't name her niece to betroth her to the eighth brother."

Kangxi nodded: "She had a relationship with Yinhu once, and thought that Yinhu was a man worthy of entrusting her life. So she begged Concubine Yi to propose marriage to me. This girl is so courageous, she dared to directly ask to marry a Brother."

Cheng Hu couldn't help asking: "You agreed?"

"Not yet. However, I think that girl is not bad, and it would be suitable for the old eight." It seems that Kangxi has a good impression of Guo Luoluo.

Chenghu thought of Gao Lang who had been entangled with Lao Ba, and couldn't help but want to do something for him, "Huang Ama, why don't you ask Yinhu what she thinks? The girl is interested in him, maybe Yinhu is not. What about that idea?"

Kangxi said indifferently: "Since ancient times, the marriage of children has been ordered by the parents, let alone the marriage of the elder brother of the royal family. Let you be so carefree, I'm almost missed by those old stubborn. So, For the other elder brothers' marriages, we can't allow them to push back and forth again."

Cheng Hu rubbed his ears uncomfortably: "Yes, yes, I understand. I am so arrogant, you are not used to it."

Kangxi couldn't laugh or cry: "I really owed you in my previous life."

Cheng Hu sat beside Kangxi and put his head on his shoulder: "So, I'm here to collect debts. Huang Ama, look, your younger brothers are all grown up, what are you thinking in your heart?"

"I know what you want to ask, I can only say, wait a little longer." Kangxi patted his hand, "I still can't see who among them can take on the important task. Each of them has obvious advantages and obvious disadvantages. Sigh ! There is no all-rounder!"

Cheng Hu curled his lips: "It's because your requirements are too high! Forget it, you choose slowly! In a few years, when more than a dozen elder brothers are adults, I'm afraid your eyes will be picky!"

Kangxi touched his cheek subconsciously: "I have reached the age of forty, not many years."

Cheng Hu turned his face: "Huang Ama, you are not old at all. Don't worry, you will have many years, even decades."

Kangxi pinched his nose: "Okay. According to what you say, I'm afraid I'm going to live like an old monster. I don't expect to live a long life, I only hope that my Qing Dynasty can continue to prosper."

Cheng Hu muttered in his heart, this is more unrealistic than letting you live a long life.History must develop, and feudal dynasties must also perish.Therefore, people can only live in the present moment and stand on the present moment.

Soon, the good news of the elder brothers spread.The fifth elder brother Yinqi's descendant Fujin is the daughter of Yuanwailang Zhang Bao's Ta La family, the seventh elder brother Yinyou's direct descendant Fujin is the Nala family, the daughter of the vice-dutong Faka, and the eighth elder brother Yinhu's direct descendant Fujin is Prince An Yue Lewai's granddaughter Guo Luoluo.Kangxi decreed that they should marry Fujin together on March 36th, the [-]th year of Kangxi.This time, it was really lively!

However, before the big wedding of the elder brothers, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen also had a piece of good news. His eldest son Honghui was born on March 36, 26th year of Kangxi.

A few days after the child was born, Cheng Hu went to visit him personally.When he went, Hong Hui was asleep.It's a small lump, and it looks so fragile.

"Brother, I have something to tell you." Yinzhen said cautiously, dismissing the waiters around him.

Cheng Hu chuckled: "Why are you so serious? There are only you and my brother here, take it easy."

Yinzhen looked solemn: "Brother, I want to adopt Honghui to you."

Cheng Hu exclaimed in surprise: "What? You are crazy, Hong Hui is your eldest son."

Yinzhen pursed his lips: "Brother, if you don't have a man and a woman under your knees, your situation will be very difficult, and others will use this reason to attack you. My wife Fujin and I are still young, and we must be young." There will be other children. Moreover, I want Hong Hui to help you block for a while, and you can send him back when the situation stabilizes."

Chenghu paced back and forth in the room, and finally he decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with Yinzhen, "Fourth brother, do you think that I want that seat?"

Yinzhen asked him back: "Aside from you, eldest brother, is there anyone more suitable than you for that seat?"

Cheng Hu stared at Yinzhen's deep eyes and said: "Fourth brother, let me tell you the truth, I never thought of being the Ninth Five-Year Lord. If I had even a little bit of this idea, I would have been a legitimate prince."

"Brother, why don't you want that seat? You are Huang Ama's eldest son, and you are the most qualified person to take that seat." Yin Zhen said in amazement.

Chenghu decided to make Yinzhen completely give up, so he lied.He said gloomyly with a downcast face: "I can't make a woman pregnant, and I won't have children. This is the real reason why I have been refusing to marry a wife. Huang Ama also knows about my hidden disease, so I have always been like this." Let me go."

A trace of sympathy flashed in Yinzhen's eyes.It is extremely painful for a man to suffer from such a shameful hidden disease. "Brother, why do you always act as if you are bound to win the throne?" Yinzhen had many doubts in his heart.

"If other people know that I don't have any interest in the throne, the situation will be unstoppable. Now all the elder brothers who are eyeing that seat are the ones who are most afraid of me, so, in order to contain everyone, I can't show a shrinking look. "Cheng Hu was under a lot of pressure, he could only advance but not retreat.

Yinzhen frowned slightly: "But big brother, if this is the case, no matter who will ascend the throne in the future, he will never let you go."

Cheng Hu's words were astonishing: "So, the one who ascends to the throne can only be you."

Yin Mo could no longer maintain his composure: "Brother! You..."

Cheng Hu was the exact opposite of him, he couldn't be more calm, "Fourth brother, listen to me. As you said, I have a special status, no matter who sits in that seat, I can't please. But, you No, I can trust you. If I misjudged you and ended badly, I can only blame myself for misjudgment. Besides, other people are not the same. Let me ask you, what do you think of Huang Ama? the emperor."

Yinzhen replied without hesitation: "Huang Ama is a good emperor."

"Yes! Good emperor. Huang Ama ruled the world with 'benevolence', which benefited the people a lot. However, sometimes his benevolence allows some people to take advantage of loopholes. You are also a person who has been on errands below, Corrupt officials have been banned repeatedly, which is inseparable from Huang Ama's benevolent government. Huang Ama is not unaware of this. However, for the sake of the overall situation and his own reputation, there is a limit to what he can do. He has a good name, and he has the same name. It is the most regrettable shortcoming of Huang Ama. I estimate that if this situation continues for a few more years, there will be a big turmoil in the court sooner or later. Therefore, considering all aspects, Huang Ama's successor must be kind-hearted. Tough, the will must be firm enough, and the people of Li must always be the most important thing. Look, how many other elder brothers can do these points?" Cheng Hu finally spoke quickly.

He has always known that Kangxi is not perfect.What others see is Kangxi's talented and bold side, but what he sees is the unknown side of Kangxi.Kangxi will make mistakes, and Kangxi is not omnipotent.However, it was such Kangxi that Chenghu couldn't let go of him no matter what.Because in his eyes, Kangxi is just a person, an ordinary person with flesh and blood, with advantages and disadvantages, joys and sorrows.It's not how good he is, but you can't let go of him no matter how bad he is. This is love.

Yin Zhen fell into deep thought.From the beginning to the end, he believed that Cheng Hu would definitely ascend to the throne, and he himself would assist him loyally to continue the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty.However, now Cheng Hu said that he would not rule the world, but wanted to be the one who carried on the past of the Qing Dynasty and ushered in the future.Suddenly, Yinzhen didn't know what to do.I was at a loss, unable to find any direction.

"Think about it carefully! Yinzhen, don't underestimate yourself, you can do better than me." Chenghu left quietly after leaving a meaningful piece of advice.

Back in his mansion, Cheng Hu was a little tired.Originally, he didn't want to have a showdown with Yinzhen so early.However, seeing Yinzhen, who was so devoted to his own sake and even planned to adopt his eldest son as his adoptive son, Chenghu spoke impulsively.It's good to talk about it, so that Yinzhen will really shine and display his talent without any scruples.

In fact, there was one thing Cheng Hu hid from everyone.He never thought about what would happen to him after the new king ascended the throne, because he never thought about living to that time.If he could really live until Kangxi died, he would be very content.Kangxi is gone, and it seems that he doesn't have much meaning to live.He will definitely not get used to the days without Kangxi, and it seems like a good idea to go with him.However, before that, he must not leave any regrets.
