Chapter 145 Chapter 145
Kangxi still put the blood book in front of Brother Thirteen, and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
What happened to the prince last time was an accident. He was seen by everyone before he came and remembered to hide it. This time, Brother Thirteen would be wronged again. Kangxi only called him alone and gave him a chance to defend himself.
Picking up the blood book, the thirteenth elder brother's pupils shrank slightly, and his voice trembled, "Khan Ama, Khan Ama Mingjian, it's not my son, I don't have it."
He admitted that he was jealous of the prince, and even had other thoughts in his heart, but he never thought of framing the prince, and it was still in that way.
Kangxi said: "Do you know the guard who committed suicide? His son went to Lao Shi today and said he had important clues, but he was killed in the capital on the way."
He claims that the guards 'killed' by Hong Xi committed suicide.I don't know because of Hongxi's shocked eyes at that time, but also because of this bloody letter.
Kangxi guessed that the guard probably knew that he would not be able to survive doing such a thing, just like he said when he was dying, he pulled the crown prince's back.Now that a crown prince has been drawn, what if one more person is drawn?
Brother Thirteen shook his head, "I don't know him. I swear, I really didn't frame the prince."
Looking at the thirteenth elder brother with sharp eyes, Kangxi ordered him to raise his head, "Then tell me why you said those words at that time. Yinxiang don't try to fool me, I admit that I was the first to think about it at the time, and it was inevitable that I didn't think well , but I remember every word and every action you said."
"Since you said you didn't instruct me, but you also have the idea of being superior? Or are you scouting the way for someone?"
Brother Thirteen was forced to raise his head, and Kangxi saw clearly the thoughts in his eyes.
He smiled bitterly, "Khan Amalchen is just not convinced, why can he only be the prince? Can others really not do it?"
He knew that asking this sentence was equivalent to exposing his own thoughts, but he didn't regret it.
Yinxiang couldn't help but think of the bet his mother made with him two years ago when the crown prince was just deposed.In the past two years, Khan Ama treated him as before, and he said complacently that Khan Ama had long forgotten what happened that day.
Er Niang really knew about Khan Ama. It turned out that Khan Ama hadn't forgotten from the beginning to the end. He just didn't find a proper reason to attack.
He was glad in his heart, glad that he made a bet with Er Niang, glad that Er Niang insisted that he would definitely lose, and in order to get angry with Er Niang, he has always kept a low profile and kept his head low.
Otherwise, he really doesn't know how to face Khan Ama at this time.
He thought he could do it, but in reality?Facing Shanghan Amma's eyes, he couldn't panic at all.
Kangxi let go of him, condescending, and after a long time he said: "Yinxiang, you are wrong, it's not because you have to be the prince, but because he is suitable, because I gave it to him."
He is the emperor, and he can only decide who to be the crown prince.The more intense the fight without his permission, the easier it is to disgust him.
"Forget it, for the sake of not making any serious mistakes, from today onwards, you should contemplate your mistakes behind closed doors at the mansion. Before you contemplate your mistakes, go to Yuqing Palace to kowtow to your second brother to admit your mistakes. If someone asks, I think You should know how to say it."
"Yinxiang, you are also my son, and I hope you are well. I hope you can understand this truth."
This sentence Kangxi said has a lot of meaning.
The thirteenth elder brother didn't understand what the emperor meant. Now that the fifth brother and the starling were fighting more and more fiercely, no one in the court could really stay out of it.Today he will be framed is an example.
Khan Ama did not want him to be a victim of their struggle.
With tears in Yinxiang's eyes, he kowtowed respectfully, "My son, thank you Khan Ama."
He stood up and turned to leave when Kangxi called to stop him.I only heard Kangxi say: "Yinxiang, you talk about loyalty, which is a good thing, but loyalty alone is not enough. I hope you will still be that chivalrous thirteenth brother when you come out in the future."
The thirteenth elder brother ran into the tenth elder brother when he came out. It turned out that the tenth elder brother was bandaging the wound next door and never left.Seeing the thirteenth elder brother coming out of Qianqing Palace with red eyes, he hesitated to speak.
Yinxiang bowed to Elder Brother Ten, "Brother Ten, is your injury?"
Elder Brother Shi waved his hand, which caused him to grin his mouth in pain. He grinned and said, "Small injury, it's okay. Brother Thirteen, you? What did Khan Amake say about you?" He patted the wound with his uninjured hand. Patting his chest, "No matter what others say, I believe you."
Seeing the sincerity of Elder Brother Ten, Elder Thirteen smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Ten." After laughing, he felt relieved.
He remembered that Brother Ten also clamored to go to the battlefield to make meritorious service when he was a child, and because of this ideal, he was even repaired by the prince.
The tenth brother is the son of the imperial concubine, and he is more feared by the prince than him. The imperial concubine's empress forcibly changed her temper for the sake of the tenth brother, and raised him to be honest and careless.
In the past, he was also very unworthy of Brother Ten, and felt that it was a pity for Brother Ten.
Now he finds out that Brother Ten lives more recklessly and unrestrainedly than anyone else while escaping the struggle for power.Outsiders like them feel worthless, and who can really understand the thoughts of the parties involved.
In the future, no matter who is in charge of Brother Ten, he will not be able to suppress him, and he will even be nice to Brother Ten in order to show his benevolence.
In this way, the goal of the imperial concubine has been achieved.
He also thought of his Er Niang, who also didn't have too many demands on him, she only hoped that he could grow up safely and happily, and it would be even better if he could realize his ambition in the future.
But this ambition does not include entering the circle of seizing the throne.
And he, after all, failed Euniang.And Khan Ama.
Ask yourself, Khan Ama is good to everyone except the prince.Including him and the fourteenth brother.
Yinxiang kowtowed respectfully at the gate of Yuqing Palace, and closed the gate of Beizi Mansion after leaving the palace, and would not open it to anyone who went there.
From this posture, it is obvious that he has been reprimanded. Reminiscent of Brother Ten being assassinated in the street today, many people began to discuss, and they speculated whether Brother Thirteen's imprisonment had something to do with this incident.
So someone asked Ah Ling, brother Shi is his nephew, and he saw it with his own eyes, so he should know something.
Unexpectedly, Ah Ling and Ah Hu stared, and said rudely: "You ask me, how do I know, if you want to know so much, you should ask the emperor. The order is from the emperor, he must know it best."
The man was so choked that he couldn't speak, any fool knew that the emperor knew best, the question was would he dare to go?If he dares to ask the emperor, what about you, Ling?
He didn't dare to say these words, he just walked away with a blushing face.
Yin De stood behind him and said in a low voice, "Brother Ba is still in a hurry. Seeing Ah Ling looking at him, Yin De explained the identity of that person.
The person who belonged to the Ministry of War just now was obviously the elder brother, but they all knew what the sixteenth elder brother and the eldest brother were talking about a few years ago. I don't care anymore.Unless it is a war, he can not go to the Ministry of War for a month.
There was still a bright pearl in the past, even if the eldest brother was "not doing business properly" for the sake of the bright pearl, everyone would follow his steps. In 47, Mingzhu died of illness. His three sons, the eldest son and the third son, died, leaving only the second son to support the family business. The power of the entire Nala family has long since declined.
Without Mingzhu, it's no good to follow the elder brother, so how could they stick to it?
Among all the elder brothers, who can quickly accept the influence of the elder brother?
Naturally, it is eight princes.
He said that there is nothing wrong with Eighth Brother being anxious.Before the emperor died, the reputation of the eighth elder brother as "virtuous" spread, what did he want to do?
Afraid that others would not know his intentions?
He shook his head, "It's a good thing you don't hang out with him anymore, otherwise... Niu Hulu's family is in danger."
Yin De thinks that no matter who is in the position, people like the eighth elder brother will not end well. If the eighth elder brother is not good, how can the people who support the eighth elder brother be good?
He didn't know if others were paying attention, but anyway, he found out that the emperor would send his confidantes to supervise whether it was literary or martial arts in recent years. Anyone who could pass the palace examination was written by himself on the spot to review the test papers. There is no possibility of cheating at all.
If you are more careful, you will even find that the vacancies of Jinshi have been filled extremely quickly in recent years. Although most of them are foreign appointments, it is surprising enough.These foreign Jinshi are basically of civilian origin, or they are descendants of small families who maintain neutrality.As long as there is one person in the family standing in line, they are all waiting for a substitute in the capital.
He guessed that these were the emperor's backhands, and these foreign Jinshi were probably prepared by him for the new emperor.Once the new emperor takes the throne, those who are attached to the eighth and fifth princes are likely to be replaced.
No, maybe not until enthronement.
As long as any of the fifth prince or the eighth prince touches the emperor's bottom line, their party members will be replaced.
with no exceptions.
A Ling'a glared at him, "How old is the old calendar, you still mention it. Why, show off that you are smart?" He was most impatient with Yin De's self-righteous appearance.It seemed that no one else could see it except him.
There is the example of the prince before, but this time the thirteenth elder brother was imprisoned and no one dared to ask why?
After going to court tremblingly, the fourth elder brother went to Qianqing Palace after the court.
"Khan Ama, the thirteenth brother is young, if he..."
Before the fourth elder brother could finish speaking, Kangxi snorted coldly: "Young? He is already 25. This is called young. When will he grow up? Yinzhen, I know you have a good relationship with Yinxiang, but you can't open your eyes." Just talking nonsense. That's enough, I don't care about these things with you, and I don't bother the two masters. You are in charge of the abolished prince. I also hand over Yinxiang to you. They looked after me."
Yinzhen has a good relationship with the two, and they will suffer less if they are handed over to Yinzhen.
The emperor didn't want to say it, and Yinzhen had no choice but to go to the thirteenth elder brother.
"Yinxiang, tell me the truth, what have you done, why did Khan Ama lock you up?"
Yinxiang looked at the concerned fourth brother, feeling a little guilty, he lowered his head, "Fourth brother, don't ask, anyway, I was wrong." Bro.
Yinzhen was a little angry, and he shouted: "Do you know what is going on outside? They say that the old ten's assassination has something to do with you. You don't know what the crime is? You talk, you don't say anything, how can I help you."
Yinzhen didn't believe a word of the rumors.The more people talk outside, the angrier he gets.
The thirteenth brother said: "Fourth brother, don't worry about my affairs. For the tenth brother's affairs, you can just think that I am sorry for him?"
He guessed that there must be many people staring at him outside his house now, and since he wanted to change his ways, he planned to help Khan Ama.If the words are specious, the fourth brother must be angry.In this way, it can prevent the fourth brother from being targeted, and it can also confuse those people.
No matter what the fourth elder brother said, the thirteenth elder brother just kept silent and kicked the fourth elder brother over the desks and chairs in the study.
The news that the fourth elder brother left the thirteenth elder brother's mansion with a dark face spread quickly.
Ninth elder brother came to eighth elder brother's mansion, he said: "Mynah, what did you say about thirteen, he really did the old ten's thing?"
After all, elder brother ten is special to elder brother ninth. He went to visit the injured elder brother ten, and in a few words, he made things out.
Yinzhen didn't believe a single word that elder brother Shi said, he thought elder brother ten was lying, but after careful observation, he denied this idea.With Lao Shi's brain, if he was lying, he would definitely be able to tell.
But if Thirteen instructed the imperial army to lie and frame the prince, he felt it was absurd.No matter how you look at it, Thirteen doesn't look like that kind of person.To say that he took the place of someone else's crime is more or less the same.
The eighth elder brother raised the corners of his lips lightly, and said: "Old ten can't tell lies, thirteen," he tapped his fingers on the table, "power touches people's hearts, so it's hard to say."
He didn't believe that Shisan would do such a thing in his heart, and he felt that Lao Wu was more suspicious than Shisan.It's just that the fifth brother is the elder brother of the ninth brother after all, so it's hard for him to say anything about the other party in front of Brother Jiu, lest Brother Jiu feel uncomfortable.
"Then let's?" Brother Jiu asked silently, should they take this opportunity to do something?
The eighth elder brother was silent, and I don't know how long it took, he said: "Let someone try to write the letter first, to test the meaning of Khan Ama, and see if he will take this opportunity to release the prince."
Seeing that Brother Nine was puzzled, he said: "Who does Khan Ama love the most? The prince. Now that there is a blood book, shouldn't it be natural for Khan Ama to release the prince?"
Brother Nine frowned, and followed Eighth Brother's train of thought, he opened his eyes wide, "Mynah, according to what you said, could it be that the prince did this?" He sat opposite Eighth Brother, carefully analyzing , "Look, the old Shisan has been working with the prince before, and he is regarded as his henchman. Now that Shisan has an accident, he has been cleared of the prince's suspicion. Does this seem to be the way out for the prince?"
What is the sacrifice of a thirteen, the most important thing is that the prince came out.
And Thirteen...
When the crown prince takes over in the future, he guessed that there will be some compensation.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, he said: "The prince is insidious. No way, myna, we must not let him out."
This matter seems to be seamless, but it is not without loopholes.As he said just now, it is the prince who benefits from this matter. As long as the prince kills himself and directs and acts, Khan Ama has nothing to do.
The eighth prince looked at him in surprise, then nodded, "What you said makes sense. In this way, let's get someone to write a letter to test Khan Ama's attitude first. The prince has been abolished, even if he is released, Khan Ama thinks There must always be a reason for Fuli. We still have a chance."
The ninth elder brother didn't know that since the fifth elder brother wanted to be the throne, the eighth elder brother had not trusted him wholeheartedly.
He only said half of this strategy, and did not tell Brother Jiu about the remaining half.
He had planned a long time ago that if Han Ama intended to release the prince, he would tell people that the prince directed and acted on his own, and even gave a deadly remonstrance in order to stop the emperor's absurd ideas.
As for the candidate, there is no one more suitable than Fifth Brother.
He was worried about Lao Jiu, so he didn't say anything.But he didn't want Lao Jiu to think of going with him.
Brother Nine didn't know what Brother Eight was thinking, so he nodded, "That's fine, I'll arrange it right away."
&&
"The emperor has a decree, if there is something to do, go to the court early if there is nothing to do."
As soon as Liang Jiugong finished speaking, someone stood up and said, "Your servant Zhan Shifu's young master Zhan has his own story. Your Majesty, there are rumors in Beijing that the thirteenth elder brother assassinated the tenth elder brother. Because someone proved that the abolition of the crown prince was wronged, the slave thinks Ask the emperor whether this matter is true or not. If the abolition of the prince is really wronged, how should we deal with it?"
Kangxi looked up at him, and didn't seem surprised to see him come out.
Since the prince was abolished, he has had people closely monitor all his sons, including his most trusted fourth son and ten elder brothers who are separated from everyone.
Zhan Shi, the youngest of Zhan Shi's mansion, belongs to the power of the prince, so it is normal for him to bring up this matter.
But Kangxi knew that someone deliberately talked about this on the way he passed yesterday. He not only knew what the person said, but also who instigated it.
"Your Excellency Shaozhan's words are wrong. Two years have passed since the emperor abolished the crown prince. How do you know that the crown prince is not impatient and directed and acted on his own." He spread his hands, "Anyway, there is no proof of death, so you can say whatever you want."
"You, you are less bloody and bloody. There are layers of guards outside Yuqing Palace. How can the crown prince pass the news to the thirteenth brother? Thirteenth brother is stupid. He can do whatever the crown prince asks him to do. He doesn't know what to do. Are you aware of the consequences of doing so?"
Even if the emperor would not kill the thirteenth elder brother because of his father-son relationship, the thirteenth elder brother would be finished in this life.
The man snorted coldly, "Consequences? What are the consequences? In the future, when the crown prince ascends to power, how can he forget his hero." The yin and yang of the last sentence was full of irony.
Shao Zhan was very angry, but he couldn't talk to the other party, so he could only lift his robe and knelt down, "Your Majesty, my servant asks your majesty to investigate this matter carefully. My servant dares to guarantee the head of the item, this matter is definitely not the prince's for."
Seeing them arguing and expressing their views, Kangxi finally spoke, his voice was very soft, but with great pressure: "Shut up when you're done talking."
"About the thirteenth brother, this is not a good thing. I didn't want to say more, since you all mentioned this, then I didn't hide it. The tenth brother was assassinated in the street, and it has nothing to do with the thirteenth brother." relationship. I dealt with him because of other things."
"As for the prince... I have been investigating these days. The family of the guard who was innocently killed has nothing to do with the prince. This person is the real culprit in the assassination."
He stood up and glanced in front of all his sons, "I don't know who wants me to die, but I know that person is among you." The certainty he said made all the princes pale.
From the direct prince to the fourteenth son, all knelt on the ground, "Khan Ama Mingjian, my son has no such intentions."
They don't know whether other people have such thoughts, they only know that they don't.Including the fifth elder brother.
Brother Wu also thought about 'it would be good if Han Ama died', but that was just a thought.The prince's python robe and dagger are all means to frame the prince, not that he really intends to do so.
The fifth elder brother knew better than anyone what was going on.This thing was designed by him from the beginning to the end.
Memory told him that the prince would also be abolished because of "peeping the emperor's trace", and he would be reinstated a few years later, and then he would be abolished twice, until Khan Ama became seriously ill and secretly established a reserve.
From the abolition of the prince in 47 to the 61st year of Kangxi, more than ten years is too long and he doesn't want to wait.So, I decided to do my best.
Now that the prince can spy on the emperor, it is not impossible to assassinate the emperor.
He had bought off the Imperial Army long ago, and he had a lot of leverage in his hands, so he had to do this kind of thing if he didn't do it.
It's just that he didn't expect that the other party would give him a favor, and actually dropped his son away before leaving.
If it wasn't for his son who went to his old house to cry for funerals, he accidentally discovered that it was not Shisan who was locked in the mansion at this time, but himself.
When he found that kid, he originally planned to kill him directly.Thinking about it later, in the past two years, Khan Ama may not have doubts about the prince.By the way, let's see if the guard really stayed behind.
He deliberately had the child rescued, and then searched the child while the child was asleep.
Sure enough, he found a cloth bag in the child's arms, which contained a letter written by the guard, which clearly wrote down what he had done word by word.
That being the case, he simply took advantage of that child again.He swapped the evidence, and then asked someone to kill Old Ten when he was looking for him, and blamed Thirteen.Old Ten followed Sixteen all day, so he should be taught a lesson.
In Yinqi's memory, 13 should have been locked up two years ago, but he hasn't yet, and he's not sure if it's because of his own changes.
Thirteen is the left and right hand of the fourth child, and the combination of the two is no worse than the combination of the eighth and the ninth.His goal is not only the prince, but also the fourth child. Since he wants to bring down the fourth child, it is better for Thirteen, his right-hand man, to withdraw early.
He even thought about it, he was the one who wronged Shisan today, at worst he would treat Shisan better when he ascended the throne in the future.
The moment he chose to blame Shisan, he had already thought of a countermeasure.It's just that he didn't expect the people in Zhan Shifu to be so impatient and jump out so early.
The fifth elder brother didn't dare to turn his head back, he squinted his eyes slightly, the people in Zhan Shifu were impatient, and his people reacted too quickly.Although he also planned to arrange this way, he always felt that something was wrong.
Fifth elder brother gave him a sign when he went out.
In the evening, the two disguised themselves and went to the restaurant, which was owned by the fifth elder brother.
After he sat down, the fifth elder brother said: "You did a good job today. We managed to get the prince down, remember not to let him come up."
The man was anxious at first, but he smiled happily when he heard this, "Prince Heng, don't worry, this servant knows what to do. Since this servant has chosen the prince, he must devote himself to the prince's great cause and die."
The fifth elder brother nodded in satisfaction, and he asked the other party to ask some things before letting him go.
After the man left, he said: "Follow him, my lord, and see where he is going?"
He has ordered a lot of things just now, which are all plans for the future, including how to deal with the prince when he comes out, how to deal with the old eighth and so on.
If he is really bought, he will definitely go to his new master.
Yin Qi looked at his hands, which were covered with blood long ago.He said softly: "Yunrou, I have already entered hell, do you still like it? No, I did this for you, even if I go to hell, you should be with me."
In Yongshou Palace, Yunrou suddenly sneezed, Chunyan hurriedly put a cloak on her, "Mother, it's cold at night, be careful of the wind and cold."
Yunrou gathered up her clothes, she sighed, "It's going to be cold soon, you call Xiao Liangzi later, and when you go to the House of Internal Affairs, remember to knock those people down, don't neglect Yuqing Palace and Shisan Over there, brother. I don’t care what other people do. In our Yongshou Palace and within my jurisdiction, no one is allowed to underestimate the low and promote the high, and shoddy the good.”
The crown prince has been deposed for so long and has no intention of being released, so the people below inevitably have their minds fluttering.She is not worried about the prince, the emperor has favored the notebook for so long, and now there are rumors that the prince is innocent.What she was worried about was Elder Brother Thirteen.
The thirteenth elder brother is not conspicuous among the elder brothers of the emperor. Although his mother is still alive, her health is not good and she is just an unfavored concubine.
The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are the best at watching dishes and taking advantage of loopholes. She is worried that someone will embarrass Brother Thirteen.
Even if he didn't dare to embezzle Thirteenth Brother's things explicitly, it would be enough for Thirteenth Brother to accept substandard goods as good ones.
She continued: "Let Xiao Liangzi tell the eunuch who is in charge of the ice charcoal that the emperor ordered him to add [-]% to the charcoal fire on Brother Thirteen, and I will ask someone to give him money."
Chunyan said: "Your Majesty has a kind heart." Chunyan didn't believe a word the emperor said.He was imprisoned by the emperor himself, how can he still be taken care of?It's not that their mothers are soft-hearted and don't want to see people suffer.
Concubine Zhang Jiashu went to find her empress today, and she said such things tonight.Why?
Yunrou shook her head, obviously she was telling the truth, why didn't everyone believe her.
She didn't lie, the emperor did say that she was asked to take care of Elder Brother Dian Shisan and gave her money.
Chunyan didn't believe it, and Yunrou didn't bother to explain.
Sometimes the more you explain, the easier it is to misunderstand.
"Don't be neglected by the Crown Princess. You must watch them deliver the things that should be given to you. By the way, I heard that the Crown Princess is not in good health? Can you let the imperial doctor see it?"
The crown princess hurt her body when she gave birth to Xiao Gege, and later became pregnant. The imperial doctor said that it would cause great harm to his body, and the best way is to take advantage of the child's abortion.
The princess was reluctant, and she desperately gave birth to a little elder brother.
His life was saved, but he was only lingering on the sick bed ever since.
Yinti has a good relationship with the prince, and Yunrou stuffed some good things in the space and sent them over, but she could only adjust to this extent.
It's fine on weekdays, but when the seasons change and the weather changes, the princess will always be sick for a while.
Chunyan said: "I've gone, the maidservant sent a medical girl to Yuqing Palace according to your order. I think the Crown Princess will recover in a few days."
Yunrou nodded, "You must always pay attention to Yuqing Palace, if you have nothing to do, you should run a few more times, and don't let people neglect your food and clothing."
The emperor entrusted her with taking care of the harem, and if something happened to the princess, she couldn't explain it.
