Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 48 Orundai defected and returned to the Imperial Capital, where Emperor Kangxi was ill and in the Hall of Harmony
The sons hope that Kangxi will die early, but Kangxi has been practicing martial arts since childhood, hunting and hunting, and his muscles are very strong.Jianjianwangwang lived to be 68 years old, and he still has the interest to hold the "Thousands of Seniors Banquet" to have fun with the world.This heroic master of the world ascended to the throne at the age of eight, and spent a whole Jiazi in the "Wan Ji Chen Han". Hundreds of officials congratulate, listen to sacred prose, compose Po Liang style poems, endless flattery and noisy ears, endless rituals and troubles, it is already tiresome.On the 60th anniversary of his ascension to the throne, he suddenly thought, why not invite some old people who are about his own age into the palace to talk about ancient scriptures and family affairs, so as to "have fun with the people" and change the taste?Originally, I thought it would be just to invite dozens of old people to sit casually, but unexpectedly, the Ministry of Rites regarded it as a major event, and immediately issued a statement. The emperors of all dynasties respected the elderly, respected the virtuous, and advocated filial piety in the Ming Dynasty. take a seat.This is a major event for Xuanhua civilization to set an example for future generations, and it should be handled solemnly.It is difficult to draw up dozens of people, who to invite, and who not to invite.Therefore, the Ministry of Rites plans to play that all elderly people over [-] years old will be received by the emperor in person in Beijing, and those in various places will be entertained by the ministers and herdsmen who set up shops on behalf of the emperor.Only then did Kangxi know that the emperor was not capable of doing this kind of thing on his own, so he had to follow the instructions and issue an edict to all provinces.

It has been more than three years since General Yin was ordered to go out of customs. He acted in accordance with the opportunities given by Kangxi face to face. First, he gathered the Mongolian, Hui and Tibetan troops in Qinghai.Arabbutan was not stable in hiding. He was shocked to hear that the army was coming to attack, and hurriedly led the Mongolian army in Lhasa to flee westward in a hurry.Yinyuan wanted to send troops to stop his return, cut off the food road from Lhasa to Fubacheng in Xinjiang, and annihilate the food in one go.But after thinking about it, it will be the 60th anniversary of Kangxi's ascension to the Great Wall. Others are preparing to announce the good news. If I make a mistake, wouldn't my hard work be in vain?After receiving the letter from the upper study room, Yin pondered for a moment, then ordered Erlundai to come in.When Elundai came to the big tent, he saw Yin was writing on a piece of rice paper, bowed and said, "Master Fourteen, did you call me?"

"Yeah." Yin looked at the big "forbearance" character he wrote with satisfaction, and said casually: "Old E, I plan to send you back to Beijing." The remnants of Liangzhou were not allowed, so they were furious at Yin. After listening to Yin's order, the muscles on their black and red faces twitched, and they stared at Yin without saying a word.Yin smiled and asked, "Why? Don't want to?"

Elundai bowed slightly, and said loudly: "Yes! I still want to ask the prince to order me to go to Liangzhou to suppress the thieves. If there is an order from the emperor to order the army to go west, I will first make a way out for the Fourteenth Lord."

"Oh, Lao E, you misunderstood me!" Yin sighed, with a faint green light shining in his eyes, "Don't think that I am blocking your future by not asking you to make meritorious services. What is the relationship between Taning and Ba Ye? If you don't use him, your army will be in chaos before the war starts!" Orundai thought for a while and sneered: "What is he proud of? His two actions are nothing! Yabuqi is also itching his teeth with hatred. One day, tell him to look at my color!" Yin giggled and said, "Old E, after all, he is straight-hearted! Do you think Yabuqi is the same as you? Let me tell you, when I entered Tibet, I named you my deputy, Yabuqi. Buqi stopped him. He was stationed in Jiepingcheng and all the documents were distributed. Yabuqi said that you are a reckless man. He didn't ask you to go and even brought out Bago to suppress me! He is Bago's nanny. What are you doing here? What do you think? I don’t know? I only care about my brother’s love, I can’t show off my face and pretend to be confused!”

Erlundai couldn't help being stunned, although he was thick, he was not stupid, and he had already guessed the meaning of Yin's words.After a long while, he said, "Master Fourteen, I don't understand or believe these words." Yin seemed to be overwhelmed with emotion, and said, "Scholars die for their confidants, and women are for those who please them. The starling didn't say anything to me, and I want to be here too." I did my best for him, but unexpectedly I was blind. He not only sent you to watch over me, asked Tanin to share my merits, asked Yabuqi to restrain me, and asked Yabuqi to stare at you behind his back, lest you really fall. Come into my arms—how can such a trick make people not feel chilled? Don’t you say you don’t believe it?—Look at this!” After saying that, he slapped a letter over.When Erlun Dai opened it suspiciously, he read:
Ya: The former letter has received information that it has been verified that Orondai received [-] gold from Nian Gengyao.I have known this person for a long time, he was frivolous, arrogant, and had no fixed opinions. At that time, he was secretly investigated and reported to me.You can ask the Fourteenth Master to transfer him into the command of the Ta Department so that he can be dealt with at any time, and keep it secret.

There was no signature below, but Elundai was so familiar with Yin that he could tell at a glance that it was Yin's handwriting. His face turned red and he gritted his teeth and asked: "Fourteenth Master, where did this thing come from? ?”

"When the imperial court sent it the day before yesterday, the master of the Xi'an Mansion pretended to be a soldier and sent it. It happened that Yabuqi went to urge the grain, and one of my staff recognized this master, so it was broken." Yin smiled slightly, "This master has already detained it, you It's not difficult to meet. My soldiers will take you there later."

Erlundai was so angry that he trembled all over, and cursed: "Grandma is a bear! I'm working hard here, killing like a blood gourd, and I have my own people behind me! I killed him!"

"You can't do this, this is a witness." Yin sneered, "In the future, my starling and I will be kidnapped. Now I will send you back to Beijing to pay respects to the emperor, so that we can avoid Taning's knife." Orondai Panting heavily, he finally suppressed it for a while, and said, "I won't thank the Fourteenth Lord. If you have anything to do when you return to Beijing, the Lord will just tell you."

Xu walked slowly, his sharp spurs and swords clinking, looking at the desolate wilderness and the dancing yellow sand outside the tent of the Chinese army, he said for a long time: "What is the situation in Beijing, I really want to see it." I know. The starlings sent letters saying that Wansui is healthy and healthy, and my disciples wrote again saying that Wansui saw people shaking their hands and shaking their heads, and they needed help when they moved. When you please be safe, let me have a look at Amaron's body and see how it is. "

"twitter!"

"Let's take a look at the fourth brother," Yin mused, and said carefully, "in Beijing now, the fourth brother is the one who can compete with myna a little bit. So if the fourth brother has difficulties, you should try your best to help, and you don't have to come back in a hurry. In case something happens, if you can stand on equal footing, you are a hero!" Orondai grinned grimly, and said, "I will take care of it, and I must follow the idea of ​​the Fourteenth Master. Here, the Fourteenth Master, you have to guard against Yabuqi, he has several Ten wrestlers!" Yin said with a vicious smile, "Don't say dozens, it's hundreds, I'll punish them like killing chickens! Just rest assured." Just as he was talking, a middle-aged man who looked like a fat dough was moving in the distance. Come over, Yin whispered: "You go, Yabuqi is here."

Yabuqi stepped in, and Cha'erundai resigned, and said with a smile: "Old E, I haven't seen you for a few days, and my complexion is getting better. Where are you going?"

"What a piece of bullshit!" Orondai spat on the ground, walked out and said, "I don't need to return to you wherever I go! Am I your slave?"

When Orondai got out of the tent, and pretended to pour the sand out of his boots and listened, Yabuqi inside greeted him and asked, "Master Hu Minggui from Xi'an Prefecture, what did you do that you asked him to arrest?" Already?" Then Yin Yin said: "Hu Minggui? I haven't heard of this person! I haven't detained anyone! What do you think this person does?" Erlundai laughed, put on his boots and strode forward went.

Orundai rushed back to Beijing without stopping. It was already March in spring.From the sandy and barren, cold and bitter Western Regions back to the wealthy and gentle hometown of the capital, where fireworks brighten the world, see duck heads and clear water, willows blowing in the wind, hear the local sounds of the hometown, and sell wine and string instruments, Elundai really feels like a person from two lifetimes. .Because he had been ordered by the king, it was inconvenient to go home first, so he rested in the post house for a night. The next day, he went to the Ministry of Rites and War to inspect the customs defense. When Jin came out to see Kangxi, he rode to Prince Lian's Mansion outside Chaoyang Gate to see Yin.

"Have you seen Banzai?" Yin didn't seem surprised to see Elundai. After listening to Elundai's talk about the war situation in the west, he mulled it over and said, "It's really difficult for you. What are the wishes of Banzai?" Orundai Drinking Yin Shang's ginseng soup, he said: "Master said that he had just received a memorial from the fourteenth elder brother. The military ahead was going smoothly. He was very happy. He originally wanted to write a poem for him, but the troublemaker didn't even have any poetic thoughts. It can be seen that when people get old, they can only think about things in their hearts, and it becomes difficult to do them. I replied at that time: Master, you are tired, you have to live a good life, and you can live to be a hundred years old. Your longevity is because we are slaves Blessing." Yin smiled and said: "You have indeed made progress, this flattery is so loud! You said that the master will live ten thousand years, I'm afraid I will reprimand you again! What else did Long Live say?"

Elundai glanced at Yin, who had a rosy face. Somehow, he could no longer find the warm and bright "renjun" image he had in the past. He actually felt a sense of disgust for no reason, and wanted to slap him in the face. Go and beat him with a smile on his face - but he said with a smile: "The Lord said: 'I am already very content. Counting the beating of Qin Shihuang, there are only three emperors who have lived past seventy. I originally wanted to have 20 years of peace. Emperor, I have been emperor for 30 years and thought of 40 years. I thought that there is no way to be emperor for 50 years. Who knows that God is so kind to me and refuses to accept me? I have been doing this for a full 60 years! - Now that you are back, there are no big things ahead. , please stay longer.' He also praised the Fourteenth Master for his great potential, and went out to practice for a while, and empty words were rarely seen in the book."

"The old man's life is too tiring." Yin sighed, "Even if I am not on the stage, I am tired for him even if I stand by and watch! I have to take care of myself, hold on to power, and do practical things. , I still have suspicions, and I have to be wary of my son at every step, and I have to listen to endless flattery words to whitewash peace. Although I have filial piety, I really can't serve you. The fourteenth son was away at war, and the fourth master urged all the provinces to be happy. When we lost military rations, Fourth Master's disciple Tian Wenjing forced people to jump into rivers and wells to feel happy to lose! Such a bastard, if it were me, I would have killed him long ago! Fourth Brother loves this, so what can I do?"

Erlundai got impatient when he heard his long talk, stood up and said with a smile: "Speaking of the fourth master, I also brought the letter from the fourteenth master with me, as well as the letter of invitation from Master De, I have to go over and make a fuss Whistle. The eighth master should not stop the fourth master about the food, there is no grass growing in that place, and there will be no food without food!"

"You can go back after the Thousand Old Man's Banquet." Yin Ye stood up and said, "Although the capital is prosperous, it is now a place of right and wrong. Long live I am too old and confused. The inner court sent a letter the day before yesterday, saying that Wang Duan has been arrested. After the seal was sealed, the fourth brother was actually guaranteed to be the crown prince. I heard that he was staying in the middle without being promoted. Gao Fu'er said that the fourth brother secretly visited the Thirteenth Master. It was so unruly that it would be fine even if it was long live. There were a lot of people and they dropped their hands. If it had been someone else, Is that okay? You go ahead, there will be a Thousand Old Man’s Banquet the day after tomorrow, but I’m ill and can’t go. You can give me some gifts to Wan Sui, and just go sightseeing.”

Orundai went out with his front legs, and Yin hurried in with his back legs.Yin said with a smile: "Lao E just went out, didn't you see him?" Seeing that Yin's complexion was different, he asked again: "What happened?" "Forget about this bastard Elundai!" Yin sneered and said A letter was handed to Yin, "This boy has changed his mind!" When Yin took out the letter and read it in surprise, it was an urgent message from Yabuqi, detailing the detention of Hu Minggui and the leakage of Yin's secret documents.Yin looked at it, his face became paler, and he put the letter on the table blankly, just thinking.

"What should I do?" Yin asked, "Don't call Erundai a long-lived person who sued for [-] years, right?"

"I have never written any letter to Hu Minggui to harm Elundai." Yin's face was terrifyingly gloomy, "Old Fourteen himself is an expert at forging letters for many years!"

Yin was so angry that his hands were cold, and he wanted to scold him, but he was also a father. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Wu Ya, this old bitch, has never raised a good son! In this case, I will go and make it clear to Elundai face to face. !" Yin waved his hand to stop him, and said slowly: "What the hell does it matter if an Orundai follows me or the fourteenth old man? Now we can't fall out with Yin under any circumstances. Since he dares to do this, Of course, he is also prepared for this. The day before yesterday, he congratulated Meng and said that after the New Year, his body will be very different from before. He will not stay overnight when he is seventy, and he will not stay for food when he is eighty. He is looking at people in his seventies. No one can predict when something will happen. This You can't make a single mistake in a chess move!" After saying this, Yin lowered his head to drink tea and secretly convinced himself. After a while, he said: "In that case, send this bastard back to Old Fourteen as soon as possible to avoid causing trouble in Beijing."

"Tell him to go back?" Yin looked at the peach grove across the pond outside and said coldly, "Isn't that to give the fourteenth brother a helper? The fourteenth brother joined the army and gave it to Long Live as a 60th anniversary celebration gift. At my place, I will ask him to be sent in tomorrow. Zhu Ziyun will treat him in his own way. What he Yin can do will probably not be difficult for me Yin."

March [-]th is the official day of the "Thousands of Seniors Banquet".Kangxi got up early, led by Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi, rode thousands of cars out of Changchun Garden and entered the Forbidden City.When changing trains at Xihua Gate, he saw Wang Ji waiting there from a distance, so he called over and asked, "Everyone else is waiting in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, why are you here?"

"If you go back to Wansui," Wang Zhuo leaned on the sedan chair and said, "this chapter has been handed in for nearly a month. I don't know if it can be read by the imperial court?"

"Is that the 'No. [-] thing in the world' you mentioned? I got it." Kangxi looked around with a half-smile, "Actually, you should understand what I mean—have you used the medicine I gave you?"

Wang Jian couldn't help being startled, because he was suffering from red dysentery, Kangxi did give him medicine half a month ago, but he didn't pay attention at that time.Now I think about Kangxi's words carefully, only to recall that the name of the medicine is "Dusuan"!Suddenly he realized, his eyes lit up, and when he was about to reply, Kangxi waved his hands and said with a smile: "This medicine is the magic prescription for treating red dysentery. Go back and read the herbal medicine carefully and you will understand. This medicine needs to be heated. Don't be in a hurry. You can rest assured!" Saying that he gave up and entered the sedan chair.

A total of 97 elders came and were already waiting on the platform in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Those over 70 years old were accommodated in Tiren Pavilion and Baohe Hall, while the rest ate under the reed shed - all arranged and organized by Yin and the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.It was three o'clock in the day, and although the old people were already hungry, they were very excited. They gathered in groups next to the reed shed on the big platform to point out the palace.Some gentry who had served as officials and had not seen each other for many years gathered together to reminisce about the same years and reminisce about the past, and they talked about coming to Hong Kong.There is also a class of gentry, who entered this imperial palace of gold and green for the first time to invite favors. They looked around, trying to remember all the scenery and people, and then went back to prepare their own narratives and epitaphs.In the midst of the chaos, Li Dequan, Xingnian and a group of deacons and eunuchs came from the north of the three main halls, clapping their hands, followed by dragon flags, treasure flags, and hundreds of civil and military officials came meandering over in a bright yellow sedan chair.After Li Dequan whipped off the quiet whip, the west-facing Changyin Pavilion was dedicated to the drums, harps and yu, chime bells, golden chimes and jade drums. 64 palace maids in full costumes performed the Eight Hundred Dance, stepping to the beat and waving tassel fans. Dance and sing:
Pi Yongjian, the rules are round and square, and it is retro like my emperor.On the sound of bells and drums, spring water rolling around the bridge, grand rites and music, glowing articles... The sage comes out, the world is civilized, and the jade vibrates and leaves the golden sound.The sun, the moon, and the rivers illuminate the image of the Dharma, and have been traveling since ancient times.Jue Qun Li, Fu Wujiao, Yi Lunxu, Wan Bangning...

In the sound of singing and dancing, Kangxi slowly got off the sedan chair, and stood on the south side under the eaves of the Hall of Supreme Harmony quietly. !"

Kangxi glanced at the crowd, perhaps because of his excessive excitement, his face was blushing, and he looked very energetic. After a while, he smiled and said: "Please get up! So many old people are together, I am very happy, even though the country has a system , you should perform this ceremony. As far as the old people are concerned, I still feel that it is better to be casual. I have had breakfast, and the saying goes, "The full man does not know the hungry man hungry", so please invite all the old gentlemen to the table, let's start the banquet !"

In an instant, it became lively. Yin was sweating and commanding hundreds of eunuchs. Some of them greeted and guided the guests according to the list, some made arrangements for the guests, and some took care of the accompanying officials and the emperor's brother who was at the table. It took him half a day. Everything was ready at this time, because the congratulatory gifts sent by officials from various places were placed in Zhonghe Hall, and they were busy coming to take care of them.He was very busy when he saw Brother Zhang Wu coming over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Fourth master, I will take care of the affairs here." Zhang Wuge said, "Long live today, something is wrong, my legs are trembling when I walk, and I don't know if my saliva is coming out... The third master talked about the eighth master at the banquet. Asked for sick leave, Wansui was already unhappy, Shi Ye went on to talk about Mu Zixu and Wei Dongting's death - what is it all about! I can't see and I can't speak, you go there!" Yinzhen Before he could answer, Elundai brought dozens of eunuchs from Prince Lian's residence over with congratulatory gifts, and Xing Nian brought another eunuch over with a big plate.What Xing Nian was holding was a cold dish, and the two dragons playing with pearls—two lively dragons stretched their teeth and danced their claws to snatch the purple goose egg—stood still and said, "Fourth Master, Long Live said that you are tired, so you don't have to go to stand by the rules, this is Your reward."

Yinzhen hurriedly said: "Ama is so sympathetic to me, you go back and thank me for me. I may not have time to eat here!" Seeing that Xing Nian has gone, Fang heaved a sigh of relief, called Erlun Dai and said with a smile: "Good man, You are considered blessed. This dish is rewarded by Long Live, and there is a bottle of wine under this table, how about eating with Fourth Master?" Erlun Dai grinned and said, "Thank you Long Live, let's thank Fourth Master! "Yinzhen was afraid that he would drink too much, so he went crazy with yesterday's topic, and laughed quickly: "I can't drink too much, and you don't want to drink too much today. Anyway, you don't plan to leave for a while, and I will send you two more tomorrow." The altar has been aged for 20 years." Elundai knew that the master was as careful as a hair, so he smiled and said, "I understand. The Fourteenth Lord ordered the army not to drink alcohol. In fact, I am not as good as I was back then."

The two of them were drinking while picking up some unimportant things. About half an hour later, when they heard the masterpiece of Danbi's music in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in front of them, Yinzhen took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and said in surprise: "It's scheduled for noon. It's the first feast! There are still three quarters to go, why did you come down so early?" Just as he was talking, he saw Ma Qi rushing over in three steps and two steps, and Yinzhen stood up.

"The master is down." Ma Qi seemed a little pale, and he didn't greet him. He entered the door and said, "The master's expression is a little strange. Several imperial doctors said that he was afraid of getting sick. I discussed it with Ting Yu and did something on Shi Chen." Hands and feet, please hurry up and rest, Master, please wait carefully for me, Wan Sui please rest here for a while, and then please drive back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation." Yinzhen hurriedly ordered to withdraw from the table, asked someone to carry a red sandalwood spring stool, and put Just as he laid out the pillows and cushions on the Xumizuo, he heard the thunderous mountain call outside. Kangxi helped Zhang Tingyu on the left and Liu Tiecheng on the right came slowly.Erlundai looked at Kangxi carefully, and smiled, but his expression was a little dull, his face was blue and yellow, his complexion was not right, his feet seemed a little lonely and erratic, but there was nothing unusual.Seeing Kangxi approaching, Erlundai hurriedly knelt down and bowed down to pay his respects.Kangxi only said: "A gift for your general king? Get up." Then he walked into the Hall of Zhonghe.

Yin hurriedly went up to meet him and said with an apologetic smile: "Ama, I've been sitting in front of you for half a day, it's a lot of work and effort. You are old enough, and you should take care of your children. Follow me, let me lie down here for a while, and then It's good to drive back to Yangxin Hall." Kangxi nodded, but refused to sit down and looked around.But I saw that the Zhonghe Hall was full of jewels, and there were congratulatory gifts on the long tables around the hall, such as Qiong, Yao, Qi, Lin, Pu, Yu, Kun, Ji, Gui, Bi, Hu, Rose, Rose, Lang, Ball, Wan, etc. Zhang, Cong...and Duan inkstone, Shang tripod, Xuande furnace, Go, Guqin, Hu brush, Hui ink... everything is available.Some of them fell in love with Kangxi and presented rare editions of ancient books, Song paper, Song ink, Xue Tao's paper, Dong Xiangguang's calligraphy and painting, all with yellow paper on them, and they were piled up everywhere.Kangxi watched for a while, then went to the south window, pointed to a box and said, "What's in here?"

"Oh, this belongs to the fourteenth elder brother. Elundai just sent it in, and he hasn't had time to mark it yellow yet." Yin said hurriedly, "I don't know what's in it." Elundai hurriedly bowed and replied: "It's a meteorite obtained by the Fourteenth Master from the Western Regions. It has the four Chinese characters 'Hundred Years of Long Luck' naturally written on it - this is what the Fourteenth Master told me, and I am not lucky enough to see it."

"Oh! There are still words on the meteorite!" Kangxi nodded and smiled, "Open it, let me see!" Xing Nian hurriedly agreed, and gently tore off the seal with the seal of the Great General Wang, opened it, and before he could speak Scared back, the box fell to the ground with a "smack"!

Everyone was stunned, and Ma Qi shouted: "Xing Nian! Are you a dog who wants to die?" Before the words were finished, even he himself was frightened-there is no such thing as "a hundred years of luck" in the box. "A meteorite?It turned out to be a dead eagle, with its hooked claws and iron beak drooping softly, its eyes closed, its feathers scattered and lying motionless on the ground!
"Huh?" Kangxi didn't see it clearly, put on reading glasses, took a closer look, bowed and couldn't stand up anymore.He bent over blankly, without saying a word, and after a long while, he turned his body and turned his back.The eunuchs were startled in shock, and they all stared at him with ashen faces, but now they woke up, surrounded him with a "huh", and hurriedly put Kangxi on the spring bench to rest.There was fire in Ma Qi's eyes, he stared at Orondai for a long time, and shouted: "Take it!"

There was chaos in the Zhonghe Hall. Some were supporting Kangxi and shouting loudly, some were looking for soup and water, and some were running around in a hurry. They didn't even know what to do. Liu Tiecheng asked someone to find a rope and pulled E who was looking at him like a fool. Lundai bundles rice dumplings like rice dumplings.Elundai only came to life at this time, and he kept saying only one sentence: "I was wronged... I was wronged..." Zhang Tingyu was able to hold on, and called Yin: "Fourth Master, long live this is a heartache and confusion. It doesn't matter if you have a sudden surge of phlegm. Remember that you have a small bottle of styrax wine with you for the emperor's use. Take it out quickly and give it to Long Live!" He shouted to stop everyone: "No chaos! Whoever does chaos will be punished as regicide. Him! - Xing Nian, you quietly send word to the doctor from Taiyuan Hospital without making any noise. Most of the old people have not left the palace, so it is not a trivial matter for it to be spread to the ears of outsiders!"

With a word to remind Yin, he tore open the buttons with trembling hands, took out a glass bottle from his arms, took a sip first and handed it to Zhang Tingyu.Wu Sidao asked him to fill this bottle. The storax wine prepared according to the recipe was a commonly used medicine in Kangxi. Zhang Tingyu had seen it several times and secretly laughed at him for being crazy, so he put it to use without thinking.

"Oh……"

After a long while, Kangxi spat out a mouthful of phlegm, took a heavy and long breath, and woke up.His face was sallow, he opened his eyes to look, then closed them weakly, and murmured: "Hengchen...you are so confused...this is not about Erlundai...this kind of thing, he can't do it... It's a human... I can't do it... let him go, let him go... I'm so tired, let alone angry, I don't even have the strength to speak..." Erlundai took a step on his knees, and said with tears in his eyes, "The emperor is wise. You should detain the slave first, and then release it when things are clear! This is a recently dead eagle. The Fourteenth Master wanted to get this, and he died early along the way... Even the Fourteenth Master's slave dared to protect it..."

"Let him go." Tears welled up in Kangxi's eyes, "Whether innocent or guilty, God will watch, and so will I... Don't talk, I want to be quiet, I want to be quiet..."
