Difficult for you · Yiyong

Chapter 25

On the thirteenth day of the November 61 year of Kangxi, all the princes who were summoned outside the Changchun Garden seemed to have felt that this was the last time limit for Kangxi.Although the weather was extremely cold, the princes who knelt on the ground and waited for their orders were restless, even more anxious than riding a horse for a whole day under the scorching sun.

"Shangyu, the fourth elder brother, Prince Yong, will see you." The door was lightly opened, Zhang Tingyu stood on the steps with his hands tied, and glanced at Yinzhen: "Prince Yong, please."

Undoubtedly, a drop of cold water was thrown into the oil pan, and the calm situation just now exploded. Nine elder brothers and ten elder brothers were the first to attack, glaring at Zhang Tingyu and saying: "Call all our princes and elder brothers, but why don't you come here?" I saw him alone, what's the reason? Aren't we the sons of Khan Ama!"

Zhang Tingyu just bent down and bowed to him, and said calmly: "Brother Shi, the emperor's imperial edict is like this, please wait patiently." Then he stopped talking, let the older brothers glare at him, and just stood there respectfully. next to.

Li Dequan personally led Yinzhen in at the door, seeing his pale face, hurriedly ordered the young eunuchs to come up and help him: "Si elder brother, the emperor is waiting for you inside..."

Kangxi was lying on his back on the bed, and he was already dressed in neat imperial uniforms. If you looked closely, you could see a little smile in his eyes. When he saw him, he just closed and opened them again, signaling I saw it myself.

Although Yinzhen already knew that his deadline was only a few days away, when he actually saw it, his heart still couldn't stop being filled with fear and sadness.She rushed forward and shook his hand, tears were already streaming down her face: "Ama, Ama..."

Kangxi tried his best to turn his head away, opened his mouth, and tried his best to say: "Be kind to the country...treat your brother kindly...I...can trust you..."

Yinzhen wiped his face indiscriminately, raised his head and promised again and again, he heard Kangxi's voice weakened, as if he had something to say, he hurriedly moved closer, but only heard a slight gasp in his throat, separated by After a long time, the weak voice came again: "Tell Old Shisan, among these many children, I... owe him the most..."

"Ama, my son-in-law will ask someone to pass him on."

Yinzhen had mixed feelings in his heart, he got up in embarrassment and was about to send someone to pass on Yinxiang, but Kangxi shook his head: "No, let him do his thing... tell them to come in... "

At this moment, Yinxiang should have secretly controlled most of the soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi. He didn't disclose this to anyone, but Kangxi seemed to know it very well.Yinzhen looked at Kangxi blankly, not knowing whether he was in awe or horror or sadness.The person in front of him has been lingering on the sick bed for more than half a year, but he still has a clear understanding of everything, as if everything is moving forward little by little according to his arrangement, even including his own death.

The big and small princes who came in hurriedly knelt on the ground, and Kangxi looked down slowly one by one. When he looked up again, Longkodo and Zhang Tingyu had already entered with the imperial edict in their hands. On Yinzhen's body, he opened his mouth, but said to Longko, "Xuanzhi".

Long Kedo hesitated for a moment, since it was a will, how could the emperor start promulgating the edict before he died?

Zhang Tingyu, who was standing beside him, saw what Kangxi meant.He knew that more than one of these people kneeling at the bottom of the steps was staring at the throne, and if Kangxi died, the new emperor would be unable to hold back a little bit, whether the meaning of the will can be obeyed is another matter.Therefore, he just kowtowed heavily to Kangxi and reminded Long Keduo: "Master Long, please issue an edict."

It was only then that Longkodo came to his senses, and quickly opened the will and read aloud: "... Yinzhen, the fourth son of Prince Yong, has a noble character and is deeply respected by me. The throne of the emperor, that is to say, obey the system of public opinion, hold the uniform for 27 days, release the uniform and announce it at home and abroad, so that the salty envoys can hear about it."

At this point, Yinzhi, Yinhu and others all knew that Kangxi's secret but secret heir was Prince Yong Yinzhen.Yinhu closed his eyes and saw Longkodo prostrating to the ground first, he took a deep breath unconsciously, his eyes were blurred, but his heart was quite clear.There are only four words left: the general trend is over.

Yinxiang came in almost at the same time Kangxi closed his eyes. Before Yinzhen could get Longkoduo, Zhang Tingyu and others up, he took his hand and stumbled to his knees in front of the bed: "Thirteenth brother, give Ama a treat. Procedure......"

"Fourth brother..." Yinxiang didn't seem to understand what he meant all of a sudden, holding Kangxi's still warm palm, his eyes were full of horror.Yinzhen supported his back, closed his eyes deeply, and Zhang Tingyu said at the right time: "The Emperor Daxing controls Bintian, and all the princes and ministers pay homage to the new emperor."

Yinzhen frowned slightly, and was about to bend down to comfort Yinxiang again, but saw Zhang Tingyu, Longkodo and Yinzhi already knelt down.Although he was worried about Yinxiang in his heart, he couldn't show it. He let Li Dequan sit upright with the support of his brothers, and received the big gifts from all the brothers.

Although Yinzhen and the others were still dissatisfied, seeing Longkodo and Yinxiang here, they also knew that there was nothing they could do, so they reluctantly took off their horseshoe sleeves and gave them a big gift.

Yinzhen helped Yinxiang up with his own hands, and made a gesture to help Yinhu. Yinhu would really wait for him to help him, so he stood up and stood with his hands tied, but didn't say a word.

Longkodo was fully awake at this moment, stepped forward and kowtowed, and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, please mourn. The body of Emperor Daxing still needs to be transported back to the Qianqing Palace. I ask the emperor to drive back to the palace first."

"You are all the important ministers of Khan Ama, the Optimus Prime of my Qing Dynasty, I... I am confused at the moment... I just follow my uncle's wishes..." Yin Zhen glanced at the many brothers , nodded, and took Yinxiang's hand: "Third brother, eighth brother, ninth brother, tenth brother, thirteenth brother... come back to the palace with me too."

Everyone answered "yes" at the same time, Yinxiang had tears in his eyes, and quickly looked at him.Even though there are thousands of grievances and pains that they want to tell their elder brother, they both know that this is not the time to talk.Gritting his teeth secretly, and waving his hand, the personal guards who accompanied him immediately surrounded him, protecting Yinzhen in the middle, boarded the chariot and went straight to Qianqing Palace.

On November 61th in the [-]st year of Kangxi, the emperor's fourth son Yinzhen succeeded to the throne in accordance with the edict, and appointed Baylor Yinhu, Thirteenth Brother Yinxiang, University scholar Ma Qi, and Minister of the Ministry of Officials Longkoduo as ministers of prime minister affairs.Feng Yinhu was named Prince He Shuolian, and Yinxiang was named Prince He Shuoyi.The general Wang, who is still in the northwest, was ordered to return to Beijing for the funeral.

A series of imperial edicts went on, which didn't look eye-catching, but they were all reasonable and detailed.No matter how confused an official is, he can see that the new emperor is definitely not without ideas.What's more, he has long been known as the cold-faced king, and for a while, there is silence inside and outside the court.

Under the command of Longkodo, the officers and soldiers of the infantry commanded the yamen to strictly guard the nine gates, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving the capital.Yinxiang had just received the job of the Minister of Prime Minister Affairs, and he couldn't let go of the security of the Forbidden City. He was so busy that he didn't have time to enter the palace until Kangxi's last edict was officially announced on the [-]th.

Yinzhen himself hadn't closed his eyes for two days. He was reclined on the soft couch to rest, but when he heard Su Peisheng calling Yinxiang to see him, he was stunned for a while, then he sat up straight after recovering, and ordered to be called in.Just as he was about to get up to greet him, Yinxiang had already walked over in three or two steps, and was about to salute as soon as he slapped his sleeves.

"Get up, there are no outsiders now, don't stick to those vain etiquette, come and sit down," Yinzhen couldn't stop him, so he had to be bowed by him, and pulled him to sit beside him, seeing that his face was pale with cold, He hurriedly called to Su Peisheng: "Hurry up and bring some hot food, and bring a hot handkerchief over here."

"Your Majesty, the Nine Gates have been banned for three days. There are many inconveniences inside and outside the city. Cough... I don't know when..."

Yin Xiang was in a hurry to speak, so he choked on the cold wind, coughed a bit to hold his breath, and was about to speak again, but his face was covered by a hot towel.Hearing Yinzhen's voice said softly: "Wipe your face first, I haven't seen anyone these few days, and as soon as you see me, ask Xingshi me first?"

Su Peisheng just came in with hot porridge, and when he heard that Yongzheng didn't call himself "Zhen", but still acted like he was in a hidden mansion, he couldn't help but feel relieved for some reason, and he put on a smiling face and came forward and said: "Thirteen Elder brother, the emperor hasn't had dinner yet, why don't you accompany me to have some..."

"An unruly servant, where is the thirteenth elder brother in the palace now?"

Yinxiang frowned and interrupted him instinctively.Yinzhen didn't take it seriously: "Okay, it's good to say something wrong. I've been busy for a long time, but I'm still hungry. I'm wronged, His Royal Highness Yi Wang, please accompany me."

Su Peisheng was relieved by this sentence, and immediately took up the bowls and dishes, set them up in front of Yinxiang, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, this is made from the cheese that was paid for by the Imperial Dining Room..."

Seeing that Yinxiang was still frowning even though he picked up the bowl, Yinzhen knew that he had something to say, so he waved Su Peisheng away first.Then he wondered: "What's the matter? For a while, I can't turn the corner on this title. Why are you angry with a slave?"

"Your majesty...uh, fourth brother..." As soon as the words came out, the eyes on the other side turned cold. Yinxiang quickly changed his words and said seriously: "There are many people around you who have followed from Qiandi. He is so up and down, what is the majesty of the new emperor? Those who know it will naturally appreciate the emperor's nostalgia, but those who don't know it will think that you have no rules here."

Yinzhen nodded, and was about to say something, but he heard him say: "Han people pay attention to integrity and obedience. Now that you are the emperor, you still can't follow the rules of your name... eh, fourth brother?!"

Halfway through the conversation, Yinxiang just raised his head, but Yinzhen stuffed a snack into his mouth. He was startled and embarrassed for a moment, and called out to Brother Si before being speechless again.

Yinzhen looked at him with a smile, and waited for him to swallow some food before opening his mouth: "Finally let your mouth stop for a while. It's really... You have taken over all the reasons, and you really have to talk about the fourth brother." Can't die of shame? Let's eat."

Yin Xiang was in a daze for no reason, and he was confused after eating a meal. When he saw the maids and eunuchs come in to tidy up and serve him, he realized that everyone was well-organized and there was no violation of etiquette.He coughed without embarrassment, rubbed his nose and apologized: "Come on, I forgot that the fourth brother's house has always been well-mannered, so I have to worry about it."

Yin Zhen waved away the others, and seemed to be in a very good mood, and nodded with a smile: "Isn't it just worrying, I really think that others have the courage to talk to me like that? It's you.. "Old Thirteen, come and sit with me for a while..."

As he spoke, he moved for a while, but frowned inadvertently.Only then did Yinxiang realize that his body was different from usual, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Fourth brother, are you not feeling well?"

"It's nothing, it's fine." Yinzhen seemed tired, lowered his voice a little, rubbed his forehead, and then opened his eyes to talk to him: "What do you say when the nine doors are closed? Should I be blamed?" Are you a guilty conscience?"

"Fourth brother?" Yinxiang was taken aback, and before he could think about it, he put his arms around him: "Just now you said I was worrying about nothing, don't you think about nothing here? Your throne is inherited by Khan Ama Yes, who dares to spread rumors and make trouble?"
