Breeze

Before the thirteenth elder brother finished speaking, he hugged Yin Qi and forced him out of the door.

Yinqi's feet left the ground, and then he realized that he was struggling in the arms of the thirteenth elder brother.Brother Thirteen immediately covered his mouth again to keep him from making a sound, and whispered: "Stop making noise! ​​Don't you want the emperor to rest!?"

Yinqi slowly stopped struggling, and buried his face in Brother Thirteen's arms.It took a long time before he could hear his vague voice, saying in a low voice: "If you can let me send the emperor away..."

Brother Thirteen sighed, "Don't be stupid..."

~~~~~~~

At the beginning of Chen Shichu (five o'clock in the morning), the fourth elder brother finally arrived wearing a snowflake.He just arrived in front of the Qingxi Bookstore, and the third elder brother went up to talk to him.The fourth elder brother just pretended not to see it, and went straight to ask Xing Nian who was guarding the gate, "How is your majesty?"

Before Xing Nian could speak, Wei Zhu came out and said, "The fourth master is here! The emperor is about to see you!"

The fourth elder brother went in and came out after a while, his face still expressionless.

Yin Qi watched coldly, the expressions on the faces of these elder brothers who were guarding outside the door were that they were looking forward to Kangxi's early death, and they made plans early.

Especially the eighth elder brother, with strange expressions, looking at the fourth elder brother standing aside from time to time.

After a while, it was finally dawn, Wei Zhu came out, and asked the brothers to come in and sit down.Only at this time, whoever still wanted to sit, all went into the room, each found a corner to stand, or paced back and forth.

Only the thirteenth elder brother was sitting, still holding Yinqi's hand, not letting him act rashly.

In Yinqi's heart, there was peace at this moment.The original nervousness about the succession was no match for the sorrow for Kangxi's death at this time.He suddenly felt, what's the use of arguing about these things?If you win the fight, it's just a burden.

But the only father in this life is gone because of this.

He just waited quietly outside the door, waiting for the news of Kangxi's death to come from inside.

I don't know that the third elder brother touched his waist and yawned and smoked hookah several times, the fourth elder brother went in to look at Kangxi a few times, his expression became more serious, the thirteenth elder brother was talking to the fourth elder brother, and the seventh elder brother drank anxiously. After a few pots of tea, Brother Ba and the others went out a few times, and then turned back and whispered together.

Yin Qi just stared at the door.

Inside the door is Kangxi.

Until it was dark, the door curtain moved suddenly, Zhang Tingyu came out from the room, her eyes were red, and she cried, "Long Live God... Long Yu Bintian!"

~~~~~~~

When Yin Qi opened his eyes, he saw Elder Brother Thirteen's face full of anxiety.Yin Qi supported his head, and said: "I just... fainted? Well, maybe I haven't eaten, drank or rested for a long time, and my body just doesn't live up to it."

Elder Brother Thirteen put him to stand on the ground, while a little eunuch was already holding ginseng tea beside him.Yin Qi knew that this was not the time to be brave, so he took the ginseng tea, sat on the chair and swallowed it one gulp.

Qingxi Bookstore was still busy inside and out, the clan members who rushed over who lived outside the garden, and the accompanying ministers were all standing outside, waiting for the decree to be announced.Yin Qi watched a person running back and forth in front of him, but his heart was empty.

I don't know how long it took to watch, but he just felt that he was frozen in the chair.Until Wei Zhu came over and pulled him out the door, saying that he would read the imperial edict.

Together with Longkodo, Zhang Tingyu came out with the imperial decree and read it.The most important thing, their brothers had already heard it in the middle of the night last night, and Yin Qi only listened to those words in a daze.

After reading the imperial decree, the fourth elder brother knelt down on the ground, crying bitterly.The eighth elder brother looked at the fourth elder brother with a pale face and a bit of sternness in his eyes.

Zhang Tingyu was not afraid that they would not accept the order, so he just waited quietly.

The eighth elder brother opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly a group of people rushed into the yard, led by the thirteenth elder brother in military uniform.

The thirteenth elder brother shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door: "The late emperor's edict, my minister Yinxiang obeys the edict!"

Then he strode up to the fourth elder brother, knelt down and said: "Long live here, this servant has seen the emperor!"

When he knelt down, all the people came to their senses, and seeing the people of Fengtai camp behind them, they all knelt down and shouted long live.

But I heard Brother Nine shouting loudly: "Just now I waited to see the father, and the father clearly said that he would pass on the throne to the fourteenth brother! How come the fourth son of the emperor will succeed in the edict! I can't accept it!"

Immediately, the voice of the call sign gradually fell silent, and everyone couldn't help but look at Brother Jiu.Brother Nine was also pale, but he stood upright, and Brother Ten stood beside him, looking like a guard.

At this time, there was another commotion outside, the face of the ninth prince flashed joy, and Yin Qi's heart sank, knowing that the soldiers of the eighth prince had come outside again.But I don't know where they are dispatched from such an emergency...

Brother Nine said loudly again: "The emperor's oral decree is said to be located in the fourteenth brother! Where did this edict come from!?"

The tenth elder brother also echoed him, the eighth elder brother only talked to his clan who asked about him, and he didn't know what he was explaining.

Seeing that the fourth elder brother's face was ashen, there was a loud noise all around.The third elder brother just waited and watched, his eyes gleaming, the seventh elder brother hesitated, but he didn't speak, let alone the twelfth elder brother who pretended to be a transparent person.

Yinqi looked at his brothers once, closed his eyes, stood up, and said loudly: "I was there when the emperor announced the order! I heard it with my own ears! The emperor said that he would pass on the throne to the fourth elder brother! Prince Cheng, Chunjun The king and the twelve beauties can also be witnesses! If I say something false, I will be struck by lightning in an instant!"

This is a very heavy oath, and those who made the noise couldn't help but fall silent.For a moment, his eyes turned from the eighth elder brother and the others to Yinqi.

The third elder brother rolled his eyes, and followed suit: "Since it is the emperor's words, everyone hears them differently, and there is nothing to do. Now that there is a will, the will shall prevail!"

The seventh elder brother said: "The emperor has indeed said that the throne will be passed on to the fourth elder brother. There is also an oral order to tell the fourth elder brother to be the way of the king." The twelfth elder brother was about to say something, but the noisy voice outside gradually stopped up.Everyone held their breath and stared at the gate of the yard.After a while, I saw two people pushing aside the crowd one after the other and walking in.

The one at the front was dressed in a prince's official court attire, with a stern demeanor, but the one behind was also in a military uniform, it was Prince Zhuang Yinli and Elder Sixteen.

When Prince Zhuang walked up to the fourth elder brother, he knelt down on the ground and said, "Slave sees the sage!" The sixteenth elder brother also bowed down, and then said: "There is a commotion in the Xishan camp, and the slaves are waiting to overstep. , and now lead three thousand soldiers and horses to stay outside the garden, please forgive me!"

Eighth Prince and the others finally lost their mind and lowered their heads.The thirteenth elder brother said loudly again: "See Your Majesty!"

The fourth elder brother only covered his face and wept, while the thirteenth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother, and Prince Zhuang looked at the few people still standing in the yard.After all, everyone bowed and knelt down, and the mountain shouted long live again.

Yin Qi looked at everyone's behavior, listened to their words, knelt down with everyone, kowtowed their heads, and felt a chill in his heart.

~~~~~~~

The fourth elder brother declined several times, but wept bitterly, acting as if he did not want to succeed.Long Kedo said on the side: "Long live, please put the state affairs first, and take care of the dragon body! It is better to decide the big things first, and then handle the funeral ceremony."

After all, he was forced to accept the prostration, and the fourth elder brother wiped his tears and stood up, giving orders.

Changed the word "Yin" in the names of the brothers to "Yun", ordered the Ministry of Rites to agree on the temple name of Kangxi, ordered the thirteenth elder brother to control the defense of the capital, and the sixteenth elder brother and Prince Zhuang Yinli to assist, and then let people go Northwest reported the funeral to Fourteenth Elder Brother.

After listening to his instructions, Yin Qi turned out of the courtyard gate of Qingxi Bookstore and went to the small courtyard where he lived.Lying on the bed, he took out the two secret decrees given to him by Kangxi from the hidden compartment, and unfolded them to read.

After reading it hastily, he threw the yellow silk on the bedside, and Yin Qi covered his eyes that were swollen from crying.

This decree... Kangxi thought too highly of Yinqi.

Yongzheng wanted to kill his brother, how could he stop it?Even if he held the will of Kangxi in his hand, would Yongzheng really be able to listen to his decree?I'm afraid that Yongzheng will kill him together, so I can rest assured.

And the other decree is even more ridiculous... Who is Yongzheng?He is so cautious and suspicious, how can he trust a child like him?

I was thinking about it, but I heard footsteps.Yin Qi opened his eyes suddenly, and stared straight at the person who entered the door. His subordinates did not forget to quickly put away the imperial edict, and stuffed it under the pillow.

But he was stunned when he saw someone coming.

Yin Qi stared blankly at the man for a long time before saying in surprise, "Hong Zhou! Why is it you!"

The person who came in was dressed as a little eunuch, and Yin Qi couldn't be more familiar with that face, who else could it be if it wasn't Hong Zhou?

But how dare Hong Zhou come out of the city quietly at this time?With the nine doors blocked, how could he get out?

This is the most chaotic time, but whoever has any bad thoughts about him, this is the best time to get rid of him.But this kid, how dare he come to the garden?Who is this, so bold, dare to bring him here?

Yin Qi turned over immediately and pulled Hong Zhou into the room.Looking around, he found that there was a lot of chaos at the moment, but no one was paying attention to him, so he felt relieved.After quickly closing the door, Yin Qi shouted in a low voice: "Hong Zhou! How dare you come here! You really don't want to die!"

Hongzhou followed Yinqi and took his hand, and also took Yinqi, looked at his face carefully at the candles in the room, and sighed: "Uncle 23, my good uncle, you are still in a hurry Teach me a lesson, but don’t pay attention to yourself? I’m thinking of you too! Look in the mirror, you’re so haggard now!”

Yin Qi waved him away, sat on the bed, and said angrily, "I'll survive anyway! What about you? Don't say you forgot, your family... you are so reckless, you must know Not everything can be done at will!"

Hongzhou sighed, and sat beside Yinqi, put his arm around his shoulder, and said, "Uncle 23, I'm at home, and I'm still in a state of mind. Besides, even if I'm at home, no one will harm me? Look at the prince...he has already become the emperor, and those calculations, I wish they could all be brought to the fore. I came out to avoid disaster..."

Yinqi interrupted: "What about your mother? You are relieved and left her alone in the city? You also have to think about how she misses you and why she is so worried."

Hong Zhou laughed and said, "Uncle 23 can rest assured. Last night, Fujin took my mother-in-law to Prince Zhuang's mansion, and went to chant scriptures and pray for blessings with Prince Zhuang Fujin. Otherwise, you should be the mansion Why are those people here so bold that they dare to put their hands on my head? They just don’t know that this is also my idea. "

Yin Qi asked suspiciously: "Your idea? Can Fujin listen to you?"

Hong Zhou smiled and sighed: "Fu Jin... I used the name of Uncle 23, Fujin heard me persuade me a few words, and took my mother-in-law out."

Yin Qi was speechless for a moment, and Hong Zhou said again: "Hey, let's not talk about this. How did I hear that when Zhang Tingyu issued the late emperor's edict, there were still people who were not convinced, saying that it was the emperor's false edict? I was still there at that time. Those soldiers followed outside Qingxi Bookstore, only heard the noise inside, and didn't know the details. After entering, no one asked. I only heard that Uncle 23 spoke for the emperor. What did Uncle 23 do? But Don't worry about anyone."

After giving him a blank look, Yinqi said: "Why do you just ask this? You don't ask me how the emperor is doing now, or is there any trouble for him?"

Hong Zhou smiled and said: "I, as a son, know the emperor's abilities best. He is an old man and he doesn't need me to worry about him. Naturally, everything will be solved easily. I only worry about Uncle 23. After all, Uncle 23 is young. Can't compare to those princes Baylor, I'm afraid you will be tricked, or..."

He paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said: "Or the emperor, he plotted against you!"

Yinqi was stunned, thought about the situation at that time, and said slowly: "The emperor... If he plotted against me, so what? You don't have to worry about this. The emperor always loves me, it is this It's time for me to contribute a little bit, which is what I should do. At least now is not the time for the late emperor, so I can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being."

Hong Zhou sighed: "I'm just worried about Uncle 23, whether he will be tricked by someone. I'm also worried..."

He took a careful look at Yin Qi's face, and said softly: "I'm also worried that Uncle 23 will be very sad because of the late emperor... I'm afraid I'm going to cry and break my body, but it's just..."

Yin Qi's eyes were still swollen, so it was not easy to comfort him, so he said that he was not sad.And in his heart, he really wasn't without sadness.

Over the years, although his feelings for Kangxi were impure and complicated, they were not without affection, admiration, or admiration.There is even a son's respect, love and dependence on his father.

Because of Kangxi's kindness to him, it is difficult for Yinqi to develop feelings for Kangxi.

At this moment when Hong Zhou said it, he wanted to say that Hong Zhou needn't worry.He just opened his mouth, but couldn't help but shed tears again, his voice trembled and broke, and he choked up.
