Difficult for you · Yiyong

Chapter 20

If it is said that Mrs. Nala did not understand the meaning after hearing Yinxiang's words, but Mrs. Zhaojia guessed it three to five minutes. Although she and Yinxiang are not good at mixing oil with honey, they really respect each other. Yes, she also read poetry and books when she was a daughter at home, and she is not as illiterate as ordinary Manchu women. Although she has a soft personality, she has some insights.

Yinxiang's words are so decisive, he must have made up his mind.Although he didn't know what he was going to do, but he also had a faint feeling that his master was going to gamble with his wealth.So looking at Nala's smiling face, she couldn't feel happy in her heart, she just hugged He Hui gently, gave Nala's a little blessing, and then said goodbye and went back.

In February of the 60th year of Kangxi, just as Yinzhen set foot on Chaoyang Wharf, people from the Wangfu family who were here to greet him immediately came forward.Yinzhen thought it was a matter in the mansion, so he didn't want to hear more from him, and he was blaming Nala for not being able to do anything, but when he heard the man eagerly say "Thirteen Elder Brothers", he felt a sudden in his heart, what is it? Tell the car to drive slowly and signal the man to speak.

"My lord, a few days ago, the thirteenth master's sect was fighting with others for land, and for some reason it caused a big commotion. Yesterday, the emperor announced that the thirteenth master would enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Until now, there is no certainty. The thirteenth master's house, superior......"

Yinzhen's face turned cold, before he could think about it, he asked, "What's the matter? What's wrong with his house?"

The doorman was originally sent by Nala Shi to walk, and he had never seen any big battles. When he heard him stop drinking, he was already terrified. , the servants dare not step forward to inquire..."

Yinzhen's eyes seemed to be staring at him, but they seemed to be unfocused when he looked closely, his face turned pale, and then he returned to his usual indifference, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "Go back to the mansion and tell Fujin, today My son, I will go to the palace to renew the order, and there is no need to wait in the mansion."

He maintained the usual steps all the way here, handed over the paperwork and wanted to enter the palace to see him, although he was anxious like claws scratching his heart, but he didn't dare to show anything on his face, he only pressed his lips tightly.

Seeing this state, Su Peisheng didn't dare to say much, but secretly worshiped the gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in his heart, but he hoped that this time it wouldn't be the same situation as in 47.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it was also silent, Kangxi leaned on the pier, half-closed his eyes to see his son kneeling on the ground motionless.He has spoiled this son a lot, maybe it is because of selfishness, maybe it is because of the current situation, but if he only looks at it from the perspective of a man, he has to admit that this son is very useful.

Capable and courageous, and Shen, who was forced out of the prison in the past few years, and the wit and sophistication honed in the cold in the past few years.If he is given power, he must be able to do something.However, at this moment, the son knelt without raising the corner of his eyes, as if he was ignorant.

"Competing for land with the gentry in Zhili, you haven't done such absurd things in the early years, and now you are getting more and more prosperous?"

"Khan Ama only knows one thing but not the other. Not only does this land belong to the squire, but the squire is also the servant of the great general king."

Yinxiang wasn't surprised or afraid, he just spoke flatly.There was a flash of astonishment on Kangxi's face, but before he could raise his head, he smashed a tea lid at his side: "Bastard! Since you still know that he is your fourteenth brother's slave, you dare to fight with him on purpose." ?!"

"My son doesn't dare."

"Why don't you dare? Do you still recognize brother Fourteen? Do you still take this Khan Ama seriously?!"

"I don't dare to worry about Ahma, and Ahma will be punished and punished, even if it is to be killed or cut, I will never dare to feel unfilial to my parents and brothers."

"Don't say what you say and what you do. If you do this, you will already be a brother." Kangxi seemed unmoved by his repeated kowtows, pointed his finger at Li Dequan, and said: "Go The fourth one is calling."

Yinxiang didn't move, raised his head slightly, and said respectfully: "Ama Khan forgot, the fourth brother sacrificed to Yongling on behalf of him, and he hasn't returned to Beijing yet."

Kangxi sneered, saw Li Dequan standing aside, lowered his eyebrows and did not dare to look at him, he couldn't help becoming more angry, and reprimanded: "Then go and call Zhang Tingyu, I will follow his mind immediately, from now on." It gave him a good idea to lose his pawn and save the car!"

"Khan Ama wanted to teach his sons to love brothers, but he repeatedly used his son to test the fourth brother. Wouldn't it be self-deprecating? How can the son be convinced?"

When Kangxi just threw the tea bowl, Li Dequan had already pushed back everyone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Hearing this, even he was so frightened that he panicked. A matter of heaven.With a trembling sound, Ying went out to pass Zhang Tingyu, and stood sideways at the door, neither daring to enter nor retreat.There was only a sound of ping-pong-pong inside. It seemed that Kangxi had dropped something again. He was afraid that he would not go in again. If something really happened, he might lose his life, so he had to bite the bullet and opened the thick door curtain, trying his best to get in. He stood at the door with breath-holding concentration.

As soon as Kangxi's anger passed, Yinxiang still knelt lukewarm, letting the ground be full of tea and broken porcelain, as if he didn't care about anything.A pair of eyes looked straight at Kangxi, gritted his teeth and kowtowed: "Khan Ama, as a son, I just want to ask you one thing. Do you choose the prince in your heart for the sake of the Qing Dynasty or for your own sake?" favorite?"

Li Dequan was shocked. He almost thought that Kangxi would imprison this elder brother who had just been released for a few years and imprison him in the clan mansion again. Who knows that since he became the second abolished prince, the most annoying thing for the emperor is when someone mentions his heir .It's just that after a long time, he couldn't hear any movement. He peeked at the big man, and saw Kangxi slightly closed his eyes, and let out a long breath, as if he was very tired.

For many years in the palace, I saw Kangxi's expressionless expression of joy and anger. Seeing this now, Li Dequan was also stunned. He didn't know the current situation and what direction it would develop.

"I...you call me Khan Ama, and you know that Khan is in front and Ama is in the back. Of course, I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty first, and then your father..."

The re-changed tea was placed at hand for a long time, and Kangxi finally reached out to take it, but he couldn't bring it to his mouth no matter what.Yinxiang knocked heavily on the ground, his voice was much lighter than before, and he kowtowed three times before saying: "Since Khan Ama said that, Yinxiang understood in his heart, what should Ama do with it, the son-in-law is the only one to follow the order." Shane Ear."

He kowtowed his head and stopped talking, as if he was waiting for Kangxi to punish him. Kangxi was annoyed just now, but he also calmed down. At this moment, he didn't say a word, just leaned on the pier and closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Just when the increasingly abrupt silence made Li Dequan feel that he had to do something, Zhang Tingyu's voice begging to see him came from outside.Zhang Tingyu worked in the upper study all the year round, and when Kangxi summoned him, he thought there was a decree to be drafted, so he rushed over from the study in a short while.However, Li Dequan didn't know whether he should call Jin Jian or not.

"Prince Yong's fourth elder brother Yinzhen returned to the palace to reply to the decree, and asked to see him outside the gate of Qianqing Palace."

Yinxiang breathed a sigh of relief, Kangxi glanced over and saw that he had put away his unafraid of death just now, and finally glanced at Li Dequan: "Tell Zhang Tingyu to go back first, and tell Prince Yong to come in and reply."

After Li Dequan obeyed the oral order to go out, Kangxi put down the teacup in his hand, and said in a calm voice: "You think he is the son I value in my heart, and you have chosen the heir apparent?"

When Yinxiang heard that he admitted that the selection of the heir was the first to time the Qing Dynasty, he had already let go of the tight strings in his heart, but it was only at this time that he realized that he was sweating profusely and wet his heavy winter clothes.

Hearing Kangxi's neither high nor low question, he actually smiled brightly: "The fourth brother may not be the son you value in your heart, but he must be the heir apparent you have chosen."

"Bold! You are guessing the holy will and plotting against the law!"

"Brother Xiang!"

Kangxi's reprimand and Yinzhen's cessation of drinking came out almost at the same time. Yinxiang turned around and saw Yinzhen hurried in, and only bowed down respectfully to Kangxi: "No matter how unworthy my son is, I dare not become a sweater. The next test."

"you......"

"Ama Khan, the thirteenth brother was confused for a while, and he definitely didn't intend to disobey Ama. Please see that he has suffered from many illnesses over the years, and don't bother with him..." Yin Zhen suddenly knelt down beside Yinxiang, not caring about avoiding the broken porcelain on the ground, and took two steps on his knees and fell to Kangxi's feet.

A large area on the ground was covered with broken porcelain, and he knelt down like this, causing a lot of bleeding, even Li Dequan was a little startled looking at it, and Yinxiang was almost red-eyed, but Kangxi just said nothing. Seeing that, he raised his hand and pointed at Yinxiang, and said in a deep voice: "You heard it too, what he committed today is a serious matter of ignoring his father and rebelling against virtue, and you still want to stay here with me to protect him?"

Yinzhen didn't want to look at Yinxiang, and kowtowed his head on the step where Kangxi stepped on, and replied with a sigh of relief: "Yes, my son dares to guarantee that the thirteenth brother will never commit any crimes against the minister. .”

"Li Dequan, Zhang Tingyu reckons that he hasn't gone far at the moment, you go ahead and stop him, tell him to wait for me in the South Study Room."

Emperor Kangxi was noncommittal, but suddenly came up with such a noncommittal sentence, Yinzhen said it wholeheartedly, although he didn't know that he had been away from Beijing for less than a month, what did Yinxiang do to make Kangxi furious But at this time, he really didn't care about that much anymore. He peeked at the peace in Yinxiang's brows, and felt a little relieved, only to feel the pain in his knees.

"You all get up, sit down there."

This sentence sounded like a heavenly bond at this moment, even though Yinxiang was sure that Kangxi would not do anything to Yinzhen, he couldn't help being happy, let alone Yinzhen who had just entered the door and didn't know the cause and effect.

The two supported each other and stood up. Yinxiang knelt on the gold brick floor for more than an hour, his legs and feet seemed to have been out of his control, and he trembled for a while. Yinzhen should do more to help him He sat down on the pier pointed by Kangxi.

"I've been emperor for 60 years, it's been a long time..."

As soon as he said this, the two had to get up to apologize, but Kangxi raised his hand to signal that there was no need, and said slowly: "I have more than 20 sons, and there are many grown-up and talented ones. , not like Wanli, Tianqi, and Chongzhen. It seems that compared with those emperors of the Ming Dynasty, I can be regarded as lucky. When I close my eyes, the country of the Qing Dynasty, no matter who you sit, will always be able to Support for three or five generations, and I will not immediately lose the prestige and national prestige of the Qing Dynasty."

"Why did Khan Ama say this...this is called my sons..."

"You don't need to panic. Since Yinxiang desperately wants to understand, I will give you the right words today. The second child is abolished; the third child is only stuck in the book. Even if he thinks about it, he doesn't have the ability. "The old nine and the ten are all middle-aged, and the fourteenth is arrogant and can't stand the ups and downs; the eighth, you know best, if you are praised by everyone in the court, you will inevitably be hindered in doing things, I am afraid that you will not get ten million Good for the people."

Kangxi said the past sentence by sentence, each sentence was not long, but each sentence was to the point, Yinzhen Yinxiang listened to it, although he felt terrified in his heart, he didn't know what the words would be when he came to him, but he couldn't help but stare at the few people above. This sentence gives birth to a feeling of sympathy.

After Kangxi finished speaking, he couldn't help sighing, and then said again: "Yinxiang, I have trained you in the past few years, although I have added a little bit of resilience, but you seem to be more aggressive when you encounter problems."

"Khan Ama—"

Yinxiang let out a low cry, but he didn't expect Kangxi to come back from his anger and talk to them like this.Seeing him turn his gaze to Yinzhen, he finally couldn't help but kneel down beside Yinzhen.

"Yinzhen, I haven't paid attention to you for many years, but now, you are the one who can trust Jiangshan the most."

"Khan Ama!" Yinzhen exclaimed, and almost knelt down in front of him again. Only because Yinxiang held him back, he gradually calmed down, and said in a low voice, "If Khan Ama said that, wouldn't it be a cry? My son, although the world is big in the future, there will be no place to stand in front of you..."

"Only one..."

Kangxi insisted on interrupting Yinzhen's pleading, but when he got back to the topic, he suddenly paused and said after a while: "You are both good at handling errands and responsible, and you don't shirk or perfunctory when you encounter problems. You really treat the Qing Dynasty as a family and a country. Yes. I can't say I'm not willing to hand over the inheritance of my ancestors to you. There's only one thing... I haven't seen your temperament clearly since I was a child. I don't know if it's a tiger that devours people or a really gentle horse. "

"Khan Ama..."

Seeing that his father had fallen into contemplation, Yinzhen didn't dare to speak for a while, only heard Kangxi cough twice, and saw that he had left the plinth under his elbows to support his body, sat up straight, and said slowly : "If you are the king for a day, which brother do you plan to use as a father? Can you still give them a way to survive?"

Yinzhen and Yinxiang were terrified, they rushed over and shouted "Khan Ama", but they couldn't speak.Kangxi made a gesture of support, and only waved to the two of them: "Let's stop here today, I'm tired, you kneel down."

Although the two still wanted to say a few more words, they couldn't think of anything to say in response. Yinzhen entered the palace because of Yinxiang's affairs and planned to plead desperately, but here he got Kangxi's promise in disguise, so he was naturally shocked.

Even if Yinxiang wanted to ask clearly, he was shocked by Kangxi's face that seemed to be aging suddenly at this time, and knelt down in a daze without saying a word.

"Khan Ama, you think so badly about my son." When he was about to withdraw, Yinzhen suddenly pushed Yinxiang away, and when he turned around, he knelt down again, kowtowed and said: "The state's public artifacts are not damaged. Since the foundation of the ancestors will not be damaged forever, why should the ministers bear the eternal infamy of killing brothers and brothers?"

He has gone through so many years of turmoil and blood, and after such a short period of time, he has already figured out the whole thing in his mind.It must be that Kangxi tested him in every possible way by training Yinxiang. Yinxiang was afraid that he would offend Khan Ama again, so he risked his life to make things worse.Forcing Kangxi to make a decision.If you want to pass the throne to Yinzhen, you will never touch Yinxiang, the emperor's younger brother who is talented as a prime minister.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a surge of fear.If Khan Ama chose the fourteenth brother instead of him, then this time, Yinxiang might face the eternal high walls and narrow gates of the clan mansion.
