Watching their brothers and sisters build snowmen in the snow-covered garden, four-year-old Ning Guan and three-year-old Zhou Guan couldn't wait to break free from their mother's hands. Geng Tang'er was holding on so tightly that the two little guys were about to grin and cry because they were so distressed.

"Let Ning Guan, Zhou Guan and Sister Shun play together." Zheng Kezang said with a smile. "Don't be afraid, you'll be fine after you sweat all over and wash up." When he said this, the girls had no choice but to let go of their hands unwillingly, so the little guys rushed out happily, and Ning Guan accidentally fell on the snow. He slipped, but before Feng Lianniang could scream, the kid turned over and got up, and then rushed to Baoguan's side, looking at his elder brother with a pitiful look, but Baoguan didn't like it. Knowing what was told to him, he happily took a small bucket and began to fill it with snow. "The children are very energetic, but why do you all wrap yourself up like a ball?"

"Husband still talks about it." Princess Xia Chen Xianqiao stretched out her hand from the armhole and put it on the delicate hand stove to bake. "Except for the Li family sister, we all grew up in Fujian and Dongning. Don't say that we have never seen ice and snow, and even such a cold day is unheard of." Speaking of this, Chen Xianqiao's eyes fell on the On the body of the firstborn daughter Jinniang, who was decorated with a snowman, she couldn't help frowning. "Husband, Jia Niang and Rou Niang are already at the age of adults, and my husband still indulges them to be crazy. I'm afraid that in the future my in-laws will say that there is no tutor in our house."

Chen Xianqiao's words made the faces of Tong Chunniang and Fang Yuniang hot, but Zheng Kezang waved his hand indifferently: "My daughter, who is orphaned, will not marry until she is eighteen, and even if she does marry, she has to find someone she likes." , As for the dissatisfaction of the husband's family, how is this possible, you must know the monarch, the minister and the subject"

Zheng Kezang's unsatisfactory words made Chen Xianqiao give him a blank look: "My husband has the ambition to revolutionize, which is certainly a heroic spirit, but soon after the Cao Wei Dynasty replaced Cao, the husband must investigate. The concubine thinks that the people of Ming Dynasty are now Not dead, still"

"The disaster of Sima replacing Cao?" Zheng Kezang waved at his wife. "Tai Shigong said that the heaven and the gods will not be taken, but they will be blamed. Now my Zheng family seems to be in the position of one person and above tens of thousands. If I don't take this step, I will always be just a traitor, and the traitor is powerful for a while. , but they will never escape the fate of Liang Ji, Dong Zhuo, Huan Xuan, Han Tuozhou, Jia Sidao, Tuotuo, and Liu Jin." Zheng Kezang pointed to the children who were still playing. "This is the real descendant of misfortune." Looking back at the pale girls, Zheng Kezang chuckled. "Zhuang Ziyun said that those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished. Although Cao Wei usurped the Han Dynasty and the Sima clan was in trouble, and the Sima clan replaced the Wei with the eight kings' rebellion and the five Hus. Well, Emperor Taizu drowned King Ming and the Zhu family enjoyed the country for 300 years, if I, the Zheng family, can also enjoy the country for 300 years, it’s nothing to bear the infamy alone.”

Having said that, Chen Xianqiao still had a frowning look on her face. Regarding this, Zheng Kezang patted her palm lightly: "Don't think too much, times change, even if father-in-law is alive, he will You should also understand the truth that the general trend is unstoppable."

Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang changed the topic: "Baoguan and Zhenguan are both 12 years old this year. Back then, I had said that I would send them to the junior martial arts school. In this way, I will send them there after the Lantern Festival. .”

Zhenguan's mother, Xie Ziling, became anxious when she heard this. How could she be willing to part with such a precious lump, so she stood in front of Zheng Kezang and begged, "Master, can you not go? The child is still young."

"If you can't endure hardships, it's hard to become talented. I don't want to raise bastards and kings like pigs like the Ming Dynasty."

Facing Zheng Kezang's categorical refusal, Xie Ziling showed a look of tears, but Chen Xianqiao, who also wanted to send her son out, acted like a regular wife: "Sister Xie, the king's kindness, now the Tartars I’m still peeping in Jiangbei, the country’s future is uncertain, rather than staying in the palace to grow in the hands of women, it’s better to enter the military camp for training, so that I can be useful in the future.”

"Yes, sister Xie," Li Shi from North Korea also persuaded. "Nanjing is not a safe place. It's better to let the children go to Zhejiang. If something happens, they can get away."

Regarding Li's words, Zheng Kezang was so angry that he was happy, but in order to dispel Xie Ziling's concerns, and also to reassure the insincere Chen Xianqiao, he still acquiesced in Li's statement, just seeing Zheng Kezang's silence Speechless, Xie Ziling barely wiped away the tears on his face, and made the children who noticed the changes in the pavilion turn their heads and play again

Yinfeng, who changed from crown prince to Emperor Shaozheng, and then changed from Emperor Shaozheng to crown prince, is not having a good time this New Year. , but Yinfeng knew that Kangxi left him as the crown prince only to appease people during the transitional period. With Kangxi's reshuffle of local governors and former generals, Kangxi, who once again completely controlled the political power and military power, had already I no longer need myself as a concealed signboard, so it is self-evident what kind of ending is waiting for me next.

If an ordinary official encounters a situation where his superiors are suspicious, he will resign, but throughout the ages, he has never heard that the post of crown prince can be resigned, from Prince Li (Liu Shi) to King Fangling (Yang Yong), From Hengshan Minwang (Li Chengqian) to the Sanshuren (Li Ying), there is only one fate for the deposed princes, and that is "death".

Of course, Yinfeng was very afraid of death, so he had no choice but to fight hard because he didn't want to die. However, now he was not summoned by Kangxi. It is not always possible for a person to fight out of the East Palace with a sword in hand.

"His Royal Highness," Seeing that Haha Zhuzi (Note: Manchu boy) Dezhu, who was deeply loved by Yinfeng in the past, received a big slap in the face, Gelfin, the son of Suo'etu, couldn't help but say. "His Royal Highness's worried servants and others deeply feel the same, but the more you have to stabilize your mind at this moment, as long as His Highness does not make mistakes, the emperor has no reason to get angry."

Yinreng smiled wryly at Gelfin: "It's easy not to make mistakes, but I can't bear the fact that some people will find fault with their eggs."

Gelfin knew that Yinfeng was talking about big brother Yinfeng again, but he explained it confidently: "His Royal Highness, relax your mind, the slaves think that big brother's house is not without capable people, presumably they will know about it. The more your Highness criticizes, the more unstable Eldest Brother's position in the Emperor's heart will be."

This is true. If Yinfeng can't tolerate Yinfeng, Kangxi must be worried that this fraternal son will do something to him one day. People? I don’t think it’s possible, and even if there are, but Huang Ama’s mind has been made up, maybe there will be those who are good at speculating and jumping out.”

"I'm not afraid of that," Yinfeng's grandpa Ling Pu said. "Once there is such a person's memorial, the emperor must show it to His Royal Highness before he can get angry. At that time, His Highness just needs not to make excuses, kowtow a lot, and then shed tears and hurt the relationship between father and son. No matter how thoughtful the Emperor is, it will not hurt. Play the killer." Ling Pu meant to play the emotional card. "In addition, His Royal Highness can speak to the emperor, wanting to pay homage to Empress Renxiao, or ask the emperor to send an order to live in the empress' tomb after the emperor's seizure."

Although Kangxi had a deep affection for his first wife Hesheli, Yinreng, who was born as Kemu, had no impression of his late mother, so he opened his mouth wide and thought for a while and asked, "Is this all right?"

"Master Ling's idea is to save his life." As Gelfin was the son of Suo'etu who died in Changzhou on behalf of Kangxi, as long as he didn't seek rebellion, he could be a first-class public in this life, but The reason why he joined Yinfeng was unwilling to be mediocre, so he boycotted Ling Pu's proposal quite a lot. "But you can't keep the crown prince, you have to take risks if you want to keep the crown prince." Gelfin paused. "Maybe you can learn from Emperor Wu of Zhou."

"Kingkiller?" Ling Pu exclaimed softly. "How can it be, don't forget, besides the emperor, there is also the elder brother."

"Except for Kangxi, immediately close the four gates of the Forbidden City, and then release our people to take over the admirals of the nine gates and the Xishan Camp. As long as these steps are completed, it will be impossible for the elder brother to turn the world upside down."

"No, there are many links in this way, as long as one of them goes wrong, the whole game will be lost," Ling Pu shook his head like a rattle. "Don't talk about whether the prince can enter the emperor's body with a weapon. Even if he succeeds, our people have long been excluded from the imperial guards. How can we close the Forbidden City to prevent internal and external communication?"

"In addition to the imperial guards, there is actually a great force in the palace." Under Ling Pu's astonished eyes, Gelfin explained. "Eunuch, there are at least three or four thousand eunuchs, big and small, in the Forbidden City. As long as you master this power, not to mention closing the gates of the Forbidden City, it is not impossible to control the entire capital."

In the early Qing Dynasty, there were many battles between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the eunuchs in the palace who were in charge of the coating for the favor of the ruler. Therefore, upon hearing Gelfin's suggestion, Ling Pu, who worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, immediately denied: "One person is one If you want to control eunuchs, don’t be sold out by then. Besides, even if you have mastered eunuchs, it’s not the Ming Dynasty today. There are horse guards in the palace. It is difficult for a trained eunuch to master the Forbidden City, let alone the entire capital."

"That's why I don't expect to control the capital, and I also request that the Forbidden City be closed and isolated for a period of time." Gelfin insisted. "In this way, there will not be so many eunuchs to master."

"Even so, under the eyes of the emperor, where did you have so much time to contact the eunuchs, and what conditions did you use to convince them?"

"You don't need to worry about Master Ling."

"No, I will never agree with you risking the prince's life"

The conversation between the two turned into a quarrel, and Yinreng, who had a splitting headache, yelled, "Get out, everyone, let Gu Haosheng be quiet for a while."
