The Rebirth of the Abandoned Prince

Chapter 24 Xiaozhuang passed away

News of Xiaozhuang's serious illness quickly spread among the palace.

Kangxi was very angry about this matter.Even though it was true that Xiao Zhuang was seriously ill, the news this time was spread inside and outside the palace without his consent, which made him very angry.During this period of time, the ministers in the court were all doing things with their tails twitched, and they would never offend Kangxi unless it was absolutely necessary, lest Kangxi think about it and settle accounts after the fall, then the gain outweighs the loss.

"Report to the emperor, the servant has something to say."

Guar Kai Zhaokang is a spokesman, usually very low-key, and rarely encounters such a critical moment.However, although his official position is not great, every time he speaks face to face in the court, he definitely has to mix with the officials in the court.Thinking of this, many ministers looked away, lest they get into trouble.

The person Guar Kaizhaokang wants to mix with is not someone else, but a bright pearl.The reason why he mixes pearls is corruption and bribery, and forming a party for personal gain.Mingzhu didn't expect that Guar Jiazhaokang would mix him in at this time, not to mention that Zhu didn't expect it, even Suo'etu didn't expect Mingzhu to be mixed in at this critical moment.It was very quiet in the hall, you could probably even hear the sound of a needle being dropped.

Kangxi has never made a statement, neither explaining what will happen to Zhu's follow-up, nor showing anger, as if he knew about it early in the morning.

Because of Kangxi's ambiguous attitude, Mingzhu's heart sank secretly. He really couldn't guess how Kangxi would handle this matter.What Kangxi hated most in his life was forming a party for personal gain, followed by corruption and bribery.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people observe it, there will be no disciples.Kangxi has always kept this sentence in his heart, but this time about Mingzhu, he is indeed a little embarrassed.Coupled with the fact that Xiaozhuang's illness has been repeated for a while, he is even more annoyed by Mingzhu, and at this time he throws a big problem.

"You did this, right?"

"How did you know it was me?"

"I'm afraid there is no one else besides you to cause trouble for Huang Ama at this time."

"It's just advancing what you want to do."

Guan Rongqi's tone was very firm, and Yinreng obviously felt that there was something in his words.Yinfeng doesn't know what he wants to say, but he can be sure that it has something to do with Mingzhu, otherwise he wouldn't deliberately let Mingzhu rush to Kangxi to suffer at this time.Yinfeng pushed back the servants below, and also motioned for Xiao Lizi to watch outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Yinfeng asked directly.

Guan Rongqi changed his lazy attitude, and instead said seriously: "Mingzhu can no longer stay in the cabinet. Recently, our intelligence station discovered that Mingzhu was investigating us. If we don't let Mingzhu get busy now, we will get into trouble."

"Because what is investigating us?" Yinfeng thought for a while and asked, "About the arsenal?"

"No, you forgot that we went to sea to do business?"

In order to have more money to research weapons and ships, Yinfeng has been doing business with other countries, and the money he earns from doing business at sea every year is enough for arsenals and intelligence stations to spend for a year.It is conceivable that the benefits obtained from overseas trade are huge and objective.It's just that Kangxi never allowed the children of the Eight Banners to do business.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have always been ranked last. One can imagine what will happen if the prince is caught doing business?

"Could it be that Mingzhu found out?" Yinfeng didn't believe that Mingzhu had found out. If he really found out about his business affairs, he would be the one who got mixed up today, not Mingzhu.

Guan Rongqi smiled and said: "Mingzhu thought it was someone from the Hesheli family who was doing business, but he didn't find out that it was you. But if he keeps investigating, there is no guarantee that he will not find out that the person behind the scenes is you. We can't fight uncertain battles. At this critical moment, we can't make a mistake. There are many people involved, and we can't afford to lose."

"I see, let's add fire to Mingzhu's matter and let the fire burn more vigorously." After thinking for a while, it's time for Yinfeng to persuade Suo'etu not to be too complacent, otherwise Mingzhu will be the first to make fun of him Definitely Soetu.

The big tree attracts the wind, and when the pearl falls, Suo'etu's henchmen are particularly conspicuous.

Guan Rongqi seemed to know Yinreng's thoughts, he said: "After this period of time, you can let Suo'etu back down, the pearl will fall. Suo'etu will never dominate. According to the emperor's attitude, you should not think too much."

Yinfeng just smiled and said nothing, will the pearl fall?That Suo'etu is not far from death, according to Kangxi's meaning, it should be just a decision made in anger, and it may not be regrettable in the future.

"As long as there are no problems at the critical moment." Guan Rongqi didn't want his hard work during this period to be in vain, and he couldn't get out anymore.Moreover, the information station and going out to sea for business related to too many people's lives and lives, and too many things were involved, so he couldn't use them as bets.He can't afford to lose all of this.

Yinfeng's actions can be said to be vigorous and resolute, and he quickly caught Mingzhu's handle and made use of it.This matter is getting bigger and bigger, Mingzhu has no way to suppress these things now, and can only wait for Kangxi to punish him.Kangxi originally wanted to suppress those few things, but now that they have evolved to such a degree, he can't calm things down, otherwise the ministers of the court and the central government don't know how to criticize him for protecting Mingzhu.

Mingzhu was dismissed from office, the news can be said to have shocked the ruling and opposition parties.Although it is said that it shocked the government and the public, it is just that when one thinks of the impeachment of Mingzhu by Guar Kai Zhaokang, one will not feel the slightest surprise.Originally, they all thought that this matter would be dealt with lightly, but now it seems that this is not the case.But what surprised them the most was that Guar Jiazhaokang mentioned the long list of ministers related to Mingzhu, those who were dismissed were dismissed, and those who were demoted were demoted. In short, none of them were left behind.

After Mingzhu's accident, the court officials did not dare to have any further incidents. After all, Kangxi was in a bad mood at this time, and with Mingzhu's dismissal, they became more cautious, for fear that they would be the next one.

The business trip to sea also temporarily stopped the original plan. At this critical juncture, Yinfeng didn't want to cause more trouble.The work of the intelligence station also stopped for the time being. Guan Rongqi originally disagreed, but Yinfeng insisted on taking a break for the time being.Moreover, there are still not many places where information is used at present, in order to avoid unnecessary complications.Although Guan Rongqi thinks that Yinreng is worrying too much, it is better to be careful at this time.If Mingzhu jumps over the wall in a hurry and finds out that the overseas trade is mainly controlled by Yinfeng and him behind the scenes, then it is very likely to find out about the arsenal and the intelligence station.

"How is Ukumama these few days?" Yinreng asked the imperial physician in charge of treating Xiaozhuang, even though he knew that Xiaozhuang's illness was severe this time, and there was no improvement, so it might not last long.

The imperial physicians came and went with those few words, and it was useless to ask.Yinfeng waved his hand and didn't want to listen anymore. These imperial physicians only know how to be conservative, and they leave a little room for prescribing prescriptions and speaking.

Xiaozhuang is really kind to Yinreng, always asking about his health.Although it can't be said that she took care of him meticulously, she treated him as well as she could.With Xiao Zhuang's care, he has never been wronged.Thinking about the past so many years, Xiao Zhuang treated him as before, it is impossible not to be moved by this point.He has always remembered how Xiaozhuang and Xiaohui treated him in the past few years.

Xiaozhuang's face was very pale at this time, no amount of makeup could cover up her haggard and sick appearance.It is already the age of seventy, and Xiaozhuang doesn't have too many regrets.Seeing that Kangxi is now in charge of his own affairs, handling political affairs and harem affairs properly, she no longer has too many regrets, and the only one who is not at ease is Yinfeng.

"Ukumama, Baocheng has come to see you." Yinreng walked to Xiaozhuang, but he hadn't seen her for a while, and suddenly felt that she was much older, and the years were not forgiving.

Xiaozhuang said: "Su Ma, you go down first. The Ai family wants to have a good talk with Baocheng."

"Yes, the servant will leave." Aunt Su Ma nodded to Yinfeng and went down.

"Baocheng, come here and let Ukumama take a good look at you." Xiaozhuang touched Yinreng's head, and looked at him: "Sure enough, you have grown up, taller and stronger."

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you will be so old. In the blink of an eye, Ukumama is already old." Xiao Zhuang sighed involuntarily, thinking about the life of Concubine Zhuang, the life of the empress dowager, and the life of the empress dowager. In the life of the Empress Dowager, she has experienced many things.

Xiaozhuang talked a lot with Yinreng, about her days living in the grassland, about the bitter years in the palace, about Huang Mafa, and about Huang Ama's childhood thing.She has always been thinking about the past, thinking about those days that have passed for a long time, but it seems like yesterday.

"Baocheng, you and your Huang Ama are both strong people, think twice before doing anything. You have grown up, and Ukumama can't stay with you for long. You have to know how to weigh the importance. Don't mess with your Huang Ama Ma is not happy." Xiao Zhuang sighed slightly: "Uku Mama is old, you have to learn to take care of yourself, you know?"

"Ukumama, Baocheng is your Baocheng regardless of whether he grows up or not. Ukumama will definitely get better, and Baocheng will not make Huang Ama angry." Even though Yinfeng knew that Xiaozhuang didn't have much time , but he couldn't help but say such a thing.Xiaozhuang has always been thinking about him, and he also hopes that when he has conflicts with Kangxi in the future, he can remember what she said today.

After a few days, before Yinreng thought about the intention of Xiaozhuang's last words, Xiaozhuang passed away.This woman who had gone through three dynasties finally died in the Forbidden City.She walked very peacefully, and she has no regrets in her life, and all the bad things and good things in the past have disappeared one by one.

Xiaozhuang's death dealt a heavy blow to Kangxi, and he still had thoughts in his heart.Although he is no longer a child, he will never forget the warm and beautiful things in his memory.

Xiao Zhuang's death was mourned by the whole country.

Yinfeng felt that these were just dead objects added after death, would he really see them?he does not know.All he knew was that Xiaozhuang would never appear in front of him again, the person who touched his head and called him "Baocheng" affectionately disappeared, and the person who always cared about him disappeared.

He reached out and touched his face, only to find it was slightly moist.Is he crying?How many years have you not cried?He forgot.It's just that the thought of Xiaozhuang leaving him completely makes my heart feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

In this world, who is really good to him?Huang Ama?Maybe, but Huang Ama is more than one child.Guan Rongqi?That's even more ridiculous, they are just a mutually beneficial relationship.Tuhar?Perhaps it was because of the Hesheli family that they followed him.

What will happen to him in the future?
