As Kangxi's chief eunuch and number one confidant, Li Dequan, if he can open his mouth to say it, he is basically inseparable. What's more, it involves important matters such as rewarding important officials of the court. Without Kangxi's instructions, let him have some courage Don't dare to be silly.

After the army triumphantly wiped out the Galdan tribe in one fell swoop, it was finally time to reward the meritorious deeds.

First of all, Lin Ruhai was the first to be named, expelling the Russian army, recovering the lost land and stabilizing the border situation was one of them, and second, it was because of such drastic actions that the rampant Galdan lost his firearms and even military support, which greatly eased the situation. The pressure of the Qing army laid the foundation for Galdan's defeat, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he contributed the most.

It is reasonable to confer the title of First Class Duke, even Suo'etu Mingzhu and the two can't refute anything, so they can only congratulate with a smile on the surface.

Next came Yinti. In the chaotic battle, his steady and calm shot was really beautiful. Otherwise, once Galdan escaped smoothly, there would be another big war in the near future, and now he killed this scourge in one fell swoop. It can be regarded as a complete solution to the worries of the future, and at the same time, it also shocked other restless wolves, tigers and leopards on the grassland with an extremely powerful and domineering posture.

The reward!

Kangxi laughed from ear to ear, sealed him as Baylor on the spot, walked down the steps and patted him on the shoulder and praised: "As expected of the good son of my Ai Xinjueluo family! As expected of the eldest son of my emperor in Qing Dynasty! It is also the honor of the imperial father that such a brave and brave son assists the imperial father in governing the country!" The energy of satisfaction and satisfaction overflowed.

The expressions on the faces of civil and military officials in Manchao changed slightly. They looked at Kangxi and then at Yinti, but in the end their eyes fell on Yinreng as if nothing had happened, and there was a little worry and hesitation faintly revealed in their eyes. .

It was the first time that Huang Ama praised him so much since he was a child, Yinti was so excited that his face flushed, and his whole body exuded a high-spirited aura.

The young man who has experienced the baptism of the battlefield seems to have grown up overnight, the lines of his childish face have revealed tough and sharp obtuse angles, and the faint sharp and chilling aura at the corners of his eyes and brows is even more shocking.

The eldest son of the Qing emperor has already shown his prowess!

Suo'etu's heart skipped a beat, and then he pursed his lips tightly without saying a word.

Mingzhu, on the other hand, turned up the corner of her mouth slightly, and looked at Yinti with loving eyes, unknowingly thinking that it was his own son and grandson.

Immediately after Yinti, Fuquan, Chang Ning, Suo'etu, Mingzhu, Tong Guogang and others also received rewards one by one, but most of them were rewards in property, after all, some of these people were already unsealable. For some, the credit is not enough for Kangxi to be more generous, so he can only express it in other ways.

Watching Kangxi retreat from the court, Yinfeng couldn't wait to step forward and hug Yinti's shoulders, and said excitedly and pleasantly: "When did you become so good at marksmanship? You can shoot the target accurately among thousands of troops, how can you do that?" Did it? Tell me quickly... Forget it, let’s go directly to the Martial Arts Field for a demonstration.”

Yinti raised his head proudly, hooked his shoulder with his backhand and smiled brightly, "Go, let me give you a good lesson!"

However, before the two brothers had time to step out of the threshold, they were stopped by someone.

"Slave, congratulations to Lord Baylor." Mingzhu said with a smile: "The emperor is very satisfied with the achievements of Lord Baylor this time, and also very pleased with the ability that Lord Baylor has shown. Lord Baylor must never fail to live up to the expectations of the emperor, and must continue to work hard." Do everything you can to share the emperor's worries and problems."

Yinti nodded his head as a matter of course, "Naturally, I will never disappoint Huang Ama."

At first I thought it was just a way to say hi, but after saying a few words, Mingzhu still didn't leave, and just chatted again.

What else do you not understand?It was obvious that he had something to say.

Yinfeng was not that ignorant, so he left immediately.

"His Royal Highness."

Turning around, it was Suo'etu who came.

"What's the matter with Suoxiang?" Yinfeng stared at his dark face with wonder.

"The slave will send the Crown Prince off for a ride."

Suo'etu was half a body behind slightly, and said softly as he walked: "This time, big brother became famous in the first battle. He has already become famous in the army and has been sought after and respected by many soldiers. Completely win over the hearts of the army...His Royal Highness, a prince who has more prestige in the army than you is really a huge threat."

"Besides, there is also the emperor's attitude. Judging from the current situation, the emperor appreciates the elder brother's ability very much, and he will definitely use it more. This will inevitably cause the officials in the court to waver. You should think about the old thief Mingzhu's thoughts." I also know that he will definitely seize every opportunity to strengthen his party members and cheer for Big Brother."

"The servant knows the brotherly love between His Highness the Crown Prince and Eldest Brother, and has always trusted him, but... Your Highness the Crown Prince must know that people's hearts are changeable. Today, you are no longer young children, and your thoughts are no longer It's impossible to be as simple as before. They are also the emperor's own sons, who can really be willing to submit to others?"

"Whether it's the emperor's admiration or the support and bewitchment of Mingzhu and other henchmen, they are like poison. Sooner or later, people's moods will change. No one can face all these things for a long time and maintain a pure heart. , big brother is no exception, His Royal Highness should take precautions as soon as possible, lest it develops to an uncontrollable point in the end, then it will be too late."

Yinfeng was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly, and subconsciously pursed his lips.

After a long silence, he asked lightly, "What does Suo Xiang mean?"

"According to my slave's humble opinion, I can no longer ask Elder Brother to perform meritorious service on the battlefield. We must cut off the possibility of him being contaminated with military power." Suo'etu gritted his teeth fiercely, and said, "Elder Brother already occupies the status of the eldest son. Attracted a lot of attention and support, and speaking from the bottom of his heart, this person's talent should not be underestimated, but the military has always been a place where strength is respected. If he is allowed to develop, sooner or later the millions of soldiers will be successfully captured. At that time, it will be enough to compete with the Crown Prince."

"The servant and His Highness the Crown Prince were tied to death on the same boat. No matter what, it is absolutely impossible to harm His Highness the Crown Prince. Please think about it carefully, Your Highness the Crown Prince. The servant will leave first."

The chattering mouth around him has disappeared, but Yinfeng's heart can't be calm all the time.

After all, the young prince inevitably wavered a little when faced with his brother's strong presence. On the one hand, it was the brotherhood from childhood to adulthood, and on the other hand, it was the various realities he faced when he grew up.

As the crown prince, Yinreng knew very clearly that his future was nothing more than two paths, either to successfully succeed to the throne and become the new emperor, or to die.

No one can tolerate the existence of an orthodox prince. He doesn't want to die, so he must stabilize his position and successfully succeed to the throne.

Yinfeng was walking aimlessly with a sullen face, when a sudden noise came, interrupting his troubles.

"Stop! You're going to go to heaven, aren't you? See if I don't make your ass blossom today!"

"Emiang, please forgive me, Guoguo was wrong, Guoguo never again... Ouch!" The little girl rubbed her forehead in pain, looked up and saw a familiar face, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly hid behind him, feeling aggrieved Said: "Second brother, help me, Erniang wants to beat Guoguo!"

Before he had time to react, he saw his mother-in-law stepping on the bottom of the flower pot, walking like flying, with a feather duster in her hand, her eyebrows were cold and her eyes were fierce.

"Emperor Niang..."

"Baocheng?" Lin Shiyu was stunned, and stuffed the feather duster into the hand of the servant next to him, and glared fiercely at the little girl hiding behind, "I'll deal with you later!" After saying that, he pulled Yinfeng went in.

The little girl patted her chest with fear on her face, and then slipped away, guessing that she might not dare to come back to sleep again tonight.

Yinfeng shook his head helplessly, "What did Guoguo do to make the Queen so angry?"

"Don't mention it, the little demon star cut off Xiao Jiu's whip! Tell me, is she going to heaven? Xiao Jiu is about to faint from crying." Lin Shi rubbed her head in anger.

What is this all about?ah?

In history, it was Lao Si who cut Lao Jiu's braids, but now Lao Si doesn't have the time to quarrel with Lao Jiu, but Lao Jiu still hasn't escaped the bad luck of being cut off?What should I ask someone to say?They really deserved to be brothers and sisters of direct relatives!

Yinfeng obviously didn't expect this to be the case, but he understood why the Queen's mother was so angry that she used the feather duster, but he felt that Xiao Jiu must have provoked Guoguo first, so let's put the two of them together and see who is annoying. Isn't it obvious at a glance?Guoguo is so well-behaved and cute, it must be Xiaojiu's unlucky child who bullied others first.

So, he said, "Emperor Niang, calm down, who doesn't know that Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi are the annoying little overlords in the palace. He must have annoyed Guoguo first to teach him like this." , It’s just that he deserves it, so it’s better to teach him a good lesson this time so that his memory will be long, so that those two little bullies don’t always bully our Guoguo.”

"..." Good guy, I can't say that without a ten-meter-thick filter, even her own mother is ashamed of herself.

When two cups of tea were brought up, Lin Shiyu waved his hands to tell the palace people to retreat, and then asked: "I just saw that your complexion is not very good, but what's bothering you?"

Holding the tea bowl, Yinfeng fell into silence, not because he didn't want to speak, but because he didn't know how to speak.

The Queen Mother had always taught him to be filial to Huang Ama and to love his brothers and sisters, but now he...he was afraid that the Queen Mother would disappoint him.

"But the matter of being rewarded for keeping the Qing? Did your Huang Ama praise him in particular?"

"Emperor Niang also heard about it?" Yinfeng sighed inaudibly, and muttered: "It was nothing at first, but I watched with cold eyes that the hearts of the people in the court were already floating, and the Mingzhu faction was so happy that they could see their teeth but not their eyes. With a proud face, Suo Xiang told me..."

There was nothing to hide, and he repeated Suo'etu's words truthfully.

As she listened, Lin Shiyu's face darkened.

The two old thieves, Mingzhu and Suo'etu, deserve to die!

The two well-behaved children were forced to walk on a road of endless death by them!

Especially that Suo'etu, Kangxi reprimanded him as "the number one sinner in the Qing Dynasty" really did not wrong him at all.

"Is Queen Mother disappointed in Baocheng?" Seeing her extremely ugly face, Yinfeng's head drooped involuntarily, full of frustration.

"Haven't you ever thought that maybe this is what your Huang Ama wants to see?" Lin Shiyu put the tea bowl on the table, and said calmly, "Your Huang Ama became the throne at the age of eight and has done nearly 30 years of work. The emperor of the year, doesn't he know what kind of impact his every move will bring? He knows better than anyone else."

"Baoqing's great service should be rewarded, but this speed should be grasped. Your Huang Ama will not be ignorant of this point, even including how the ministers below will speculate and how the mood between you two brothers will be. He is very clear about what kind of changes will happen, and the reason for doing so is nothing more than what he wants."

Yinfeng was stunned, then suddenly raised his head, his face pale in disbelief, "Could it be that Huang Ama is guarding against me? That's why he wants to help Baoqing up and let us brothers fight?"

"Prevention is not something to talk about, at least not right now." Lin Shiyu sighed, and said: "Bao Jianfeng comes from sharpening... Baoqing is the whetstone that your Huang Ama chose. Now Your Huang Ama ordered you to keep your eyes wide open and wait to see your reaction and means."

One is to sharpen the prince's state of mind, and a person who can't bear the pressure easily and can't handle the crisis is definitely not a qualified heir. The second is that the mind and means are too immature, which is obviously not enough, and the battle with the brothers will be swift and comprehensive. To be promoted and grow, this is indeed a good way for Kangxi to train his heirs.

But why didn't that uncle ever think about it, he himself became the throne at the age of eight, and now he is not sitting firmly on the throne?The country is also governed quite well, so it can be seen that as long as the children are taught well, why bother to make a whetstone to torment the children?

There are many ways to grow up, but that one chose the cruelest way to let the child go. Whether it is for the prince or for those whetstones chosen by him, this is an extremely cruel way.

As a father, Kangxi may have hoped that his children would be tempered, and that each of them would grow up to be capable and independent. Perhaps he was also confident that he could control everything, but it was obvious that he was too confident.

After all, it's not that the immovable chess pieces can be manipulated by him as he pleases, and living people represent endless variables.

Yinfeng finally felt better, his face was not so pale, but he was still unhappy, "Huang Ama wants me to fight Baoqing?"

"Maybe it's not just Baoqing, but other younger brothers will be forced to join in when they grow up, even Xiao Si... You also know the status of Queen's Mother. Since you were young, people have been reminding you to guard against Xiao Si. , is enough to show what kind of threat the existence of Xiaosi is to you, and I think the emperor will not let such a good whetstone go by in the future."

"I don't want to!" Yinreng's eyes turned red immediately, and he suppressed an angry roar: "Why do I have to fight with my brothers to the death? Is it possible to become a qualified heir apparent only by betraying relatives, being cold-hearted and heartless?"

No, once you are so cold-hearted and heartless, you will actually attract the fear and suspicion of the emperor.

Today, for the sake of his status, he can mercilessly attack his own brother, so how can he not attack his own Ama in the future?

So, in fact, Kangxi directly put the prince in a dilemma.

Taking a step back will make the emperor and ministers feel that he is too weak and incompetent, and will be swarmed up by other wolves and tigers to wipe him out. He is ruthless to remove all obstacles and move forward, but he will inevitably fall behind a ruthless and ambitious man. Impression, how can we not make the emperor fear and guard against it?It will, without a doubt.

It's no wonder that the prince in history was driven almost crazy. For him, there was no way out from the beginning to the end. Whether he was advancing or retreating, there was only one ending, and that was a crushing defeat.

Thinking of this, Lin Shiyu couldn't help having a sore nose and a dull pain in his heart.

She stepped forward to hold him in her arms, stroking his head as tenderly as she was when she was young, and comforted him, "Remember, you are the emperor's son, not a pawn in his hands, and you don't need to follow his wishes at all." Take every step. As a prince, you just need to study hard and humbly ask for advice, and strive to grow yourself into a person with good character, integrity and ability. As long as you are stable and do not make mistakes, others will not be able to shake your position. On the contrary, you do well The more you make, the more mistakes you make."

"As for other elder brothers or younger brothers, even if someone really moves the mind that shouldn't be moved one day, if you, an orthodox prince, are well-behaved and have no mistakes at all, then he can only be detained. The hat of a 'non-servant', not to mention other people, you Huang Ama himself would not like such a person."

"You are already the prince of this dynasty, and you are the unshakable prince in the hearts of the people and most of the ministers. In this case, you don't need to care about other people at all, let alone fight with them, so as not to respond Wanchang is the best way for you at present.”

The crown prince is different from anyone else, easily abolishing the prince will inevitably lead to turmoil, and there will be chaos in the court and even among the people. In the case that the prince of this dynasty is good enough and has no major mistakes, even Kangxi must not abolish it at will .

This principle is actually not difficult to understand, but it is really difficult to do it, especially if Kangxi deliberately provokes disputes, it is really difficult for someone to keep his original intentions unmoved.

But in any case, this is the best way in front of Yinfeng.

Lin Shiyu sighed, and said softly: "Being a good son, brother, and prince is the only thing you need to do. If you do this well, you will be able to respond to all changes without change."

Yinfeng's eyes flickered slightly, thoughtful.

The order of the three identities of son, brother, and prince is very important and cannot be messed up.

"Baocheng understands." Only then did he realize that he was buried in the empress's arms, and he blushed immediately, a little shy but full of attachment and nostalgia.

Lin Shiyu smiled gratifiedly, paused, but frowned slightly, "This man Suo'etu...you should be careful with him, and don't make him foolish and do stupid things that pretend to be smart , with the relationship between the two of you, no matter what he does, others will only think it is what you mean, and you can't let him drag your reputation down for nothing."

In fact, let her say that it is a great disaster for Suo Etu to stay around. One is that he always provokes right and wrong to disturb Baocheng's mind and judgment, and the other is that he is extremely powerful and too public. It may not be a big threat, but on the contrary, the threat is precisely a deterrent, which can provide protection for Baocheng.

The emperor's favor is unreliable after all, Baocheng must have his own influence, not for fighting for anything, but to save his life at critical moments, the only thing that makes people hesitate is this person's heart, I am afraid he is not a good-natured person.

While the mother and son were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Enter."

Lianyi walked in anxiously, glanced at the crown prince, and saw that his master didn't respond, so he said directly: "Just now the emperor issued an order to give the uncle a marriage!"

As a dowry girl from the Lin family, who else is the "uncle" she is talking about?

Lin Shiyu was stunned immediately, "Why did you get married suddenly? Who is the woman?"

"It's Nineteen Gege from Prince An's Mansion, and his biological mother is Step Fujin Hesheli!"

These Manchu surnames are flourishing, and some of them with the same surname are not from the same family, and they are not even related at all, but this one is different, this Hesheli is really that Hesheli!

Sonny's daughter, Suo'etu's younger sister!

Yinfeng was dumbfounded, and secretly broke his fingers, "I think I should still call her aunt and grandmother?"

Lin Shiyu was completely stunned at this time, and her head was swollen and painful.

What is this all about?Is Kangxi crazy?What is she trying to do by stuffing a girl of such a background to her younger brother so well?

"I heard that it was Prince An who asked for it. His old man is dying, so he specially asked for a marriage for his two most beloved children..."

Prince An made a lot of contributions to the Qing Dynasty in his life. The reason why he became seriously ill this time was because of the battle in Galdan. More than sixty people went to the plateau outside the Great Wall and fell down on the road. Yes, I rushed back all the way with my life hanging on my shoulders.

Such an old hero made a little request before his death, and Kangxi really had no way to disagree.

"Emperor Niang..." Yinfeng patted her on the back carefully, and comforted her: "Emperor Niang doesn't have to pay too much attention to this relationship. Concubine Wen's younger brother married my aunt. My grandfather once married a girl from the Tong family, and the Tong family also married a Hesheli family... They have always intermarried in this way, but what to do, what to do, there is no delay at all, just keep in touch with each other , just pull it down if you don’t like it.”

As if this is really the case?

Lin Shiyu hesitated for a moment, still feeling extremely upset, but what can be done now that things have come to this?

"Wait, who is the other marriage for?" A heart hung high.

Lianyi didn't know, so she just replied truthfully: "It's a granddaughter of Prince An. When her parents died early, Prince An took her to raise her under her knees. Maybe it's Aiwujiwu. I heard that Prince An loves this granddaughter very much, so I specially asked for it." The emperor gave him a marriage with the eighth elder brother."

Good guy, really.

In the end, her sister-in-law became the aunt of the Eight Fortune Jin Guo Luoluo?

This messy relationship with each other can make people's brains burst.

Kangxi, a big pig's trotter, really does nothing!
