The blessing of the Qing Dynasty is difficult to pass

Chapter 491 Voting
"I haven't thought about it yet." Yinxiang is also having a headache because of this. It is impossible for Yinreng to be reinstated as the prince. So what is Kangxi thinking in his heart?

Unable to figure it out, Yinxiang was very distressed. If he recommended someone who did not like Kangxi, he would be reprimanded.

"Why would Huang Ama bring this up suddenly?" Yi Rao asked again.

"According to the information I obtained from my inquiries, it was Lao Ba who found Ma Qi. I don't know what Lao Ba and Ma Qi said. Anyway, Ma Qi went to Huang Ama and proposed to Huang Ama about establishing a reserve. , I don’t know what Huang Ama thinks, but she agreed.”

In the previous life, Kangxi asked the courtiers to elect the prince together because the princes often made troubles and frictions in order to fight for the throne. In order to prevent this situation from getting worse, Kangxi had no choice but to let everyone elect the prince.

It's just that things have changed now. He and Yinzhen are honest and honest, and they haven't shown any intention of competing for the throne. The third elder brother also wants to win over the courtiers occasionally. It's a pity that he is a sour literati and can't get along with the smiling fox. Agobbi, so the current situation is that the eighth elder brother is the most popular, jumping up and down, trying his best to win over the courtiers, build momentum for himself, and strengthen his own strength.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the eighth elder brother is the most popular now, so what is the intention of Kangxi's move?Yinxiang and Yinzhen discussed for a long time but did not come to any clear conclusion, and who should choose?They also have a vote in their hands. Kangxi said that they will vote anonymously in the early morning of the day after tomorrow. Kangxi can recognize his handwriting unless he writes with his left hand, but he dares to write the ballot with his left hand under the eyes of everyone in the Golden Luan Hall.

It hurts.

After thinking about it, Yinxiang decided to just follow the crowd and join the eighth elder brother. Even if he was reprimanded, everyone would be scolded together. If he went out of his way and flattered him on the horse's hoof, it would be terrible. .

Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for Kangxi to appoint Eighth Brother as the prince, yes, he voted for Eighth Brother, and decided happily.

Under Yinxiang's persuasion, Yinzhen also voted for the eighth elder brother. He knows the truth of keeping a low profile, and he can't show the slightest desire for that position. Kangxi is still eyeing that position before he is dead, and he wants to overthrow Kangxi and sit on it himself. This kind of behavior can only bring disaster to oneself.

"Old Thirteen, you stay." After the vote, everyone dispersed, but Kangxi asked Yinxiang to stay by name. Whatever, he will be a thorn in everyone's side.

"Zhang Ying, Li Guangdi, you stay too." Kangxi stopped two more people.

Yinzhen patted Yinxiang on the shoulder, turned around and left the palace, the eighth prince lingered on Yinxiang for a few seconds, then smiled slightly and turned to leave. He probably knew the result of the vote.

Yinxiang and Zhang Ying and Li Guangdi came to the study of Qianqing Palace together. Zhang Ying and Li Guangdi were getting old. Kangxi specially gave them a seat and ordered someone to bring a table, and brought pens, ink, paper and inkstone. Kangxi ordered, "here, the result , the three of you count, and move more nimbly."

It turned out to be this, Yinxiang breathed a sigh of relief, he thought Kangxi was going to say something to him.

Yin Xiang and Zhang Ying read, Li Guangdi counted with a pen, and the three counted methodically. Yin Xiang read the ballots one by one, and found that someone voted for him, and the number of people who voted for him was quite a lot. It's far, but compared to those who voted for other elder brothers, it is also a lot.

Yinxiang couldn't help but slander, tried hard to read the handwriting on the ballot, wanted to see who had chosen him, he had no intention of being emperor, it was not for his own good, it was to put him on the fire and roast him.

A black dot represents a ballot. After a stick of incense, the result came out. Yinxiang glanced at the paper in Li Guangdi's hand from the corner of his eye, and found that the black dots were the most under the eighth elder brother, far surpassing him, Yinzhen, and the three. Elder brother, fourteenth elder brother.

That's right, not only people voted for him this time, but also Yinzhen, the third elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, but there is only one black dot under Yinzhen, three under the third elder brother, and five under the fourteenth elder brother. Six, twenty or so below him, and the remaining dozens all voted for the eighth elder brother.

Li Guangdi took the statistical results and handed them to Kangxi who was sitting behind the imperial case. Kangxi was correcting the memorial, raised his head to take the paper in Li Guangdi's hand, and asked casually, "Who did you choose?"

Li Guangdi replied, "If you go back to the emperor, the slave will choose Baye."

Kangxi let out a groan, unable to detect any emotion, and asked again, "Zhang Ying, old thirteen, who did you choose?"

"If you go back to Huang Ama, the mynah will be chosen by my minister."

"If you go back to the emperor, the slave will choose the eighth master."

When Kangxi heard the words, he didn't look at the paper in his hand, but looked at Li Guangdi, Zhang Ying and Yinxiang, his eyes swept over these three people, his eyes were inexplicable.

Kangxi didn't explain, the atmosphere was a bit dignified, Yinxiang's heart lifted, is this the calm before the storm?
The madness Yinxiang expected didn't happen. Kangxi glanced at them meaningfully, and then lowered his head to look at the results in his hands. As expected, the eighth elder brother had the most votes, and most of the candidates in the court were all Eighth brother.

Kangxi tapped the black dots under the name of the eighth elder brother a few times, then paused for two seconds on the black dots under the name of the fourteenth elder brother, and then pretended to be unintentional and said, "Old thirteen, you Pursuing Ku Yin with the fourth brother during this period has really offended many people, if there is no such thing, there may be more people who choose you and the fourth brother, especially you."

Kangxi's words seemed to be casual, but Yinxiang didn't dare to listen to them. He quickly explained, "I know that I have little talent and learning, and my greatest ambition in this life is to become a prince with an iron hat. I don't think about anything else. Pass."

Kangxi couldn't help but raise his head when he heard the words. Is this what Old Shisan really thinks?

Yinxiang's face is sincere, and his eyes are also clear. He really thinks so, if he has the slightest lie, he will be punished by lightning.

Yinxiang looked at him without guilt, and Kangxi had a little belief in his heart. Could it be that this son is really not interested in the throne?

Desiring to learn more, Kangxi asked Zhang Ying and Li Guangdi to retreat, and he wanted to have a long talk with Yinxiang and say a few private words.

"Are you really not interested in the throne?" This was Kangxi's opening remarks.

"Yes, I dare to swear on Rao'er, Hongdan, Le Ling, and Hongshi. If my words are false, I will fall into hell with them forever." Yinxiang made a heavy oath when he opened his mouth. Putting aside the relationship with this matter is by no means a refusal.

When Kangxi heard this, the trust in his heart quickly grew from a thread to a bundle. Looking at it for so many years, how could he not know how important Yi Rao is in Yinxiang's heart.

However, emperors are suspicious. Kangxi never completely trusted a certain person. He asked, "Why? There are so many people vying to become emperor, why don't you want to?"
