Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 908 Xingyuan

The presence of Shengjia in person, even if it is a light car, is not something that everyone in Prince Yong's Mansion can neglect.

There was a housekeeper who led the people to open the middle door. At this moment, the fourth elder brother also brought the news, came quickly, and knelt in front of the door to welcome the holy driver.

Although Cao Yong is a foreign minister, he is not too eye-catching when he retreats behind Brother Sixteen to visit the sick with He Shuo's concubine by his side.

Xu Shi walked in a hurry, the fourth elder brother's sickly face became paler, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, he knelt there and held back his body so as not to shake.

Not to mention others, even Cao Yong was surprised when he saw him like this.

How does this seem to have a lifespan of more than ten years?Haven't ascended the throne yet, when you have to do everything yourself, are you so tired?
Is it because I am getting old, I am afraid that the last time I caught a cold, I have been sick for half a month.In addition, he is a vegetarian and eats less food, and writes scriptures with blood.

In Cao Yong's heart, only admiration remained.

Being willing to toss himself like this shows that the fourth elder brother's forbearance is extraordinary.

Even the matter of his "filial piety" with the third elder brother is easy to speculate, but seeing his current appearance, I am afraid that even the most suspicious Kangxi will not have other ideas.

Sure enough, Kangxi got out of the carriage, and when he saw the fourth elder brother kneeling on the ground, his eyes were dim.

As if he was touched, but also as if he was looking at you, he said after a long while: "I heard that you are sick, I will come to see you."

Although it was just a sentence, the fourth elder brother couldn't help being moved, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Tired Emperor Ama is worried, my son is not filial!"

Kangxi took two steps forward and bent down, as if to help the fourth elder brother.However, immediately he straightened his body again, took a step back slightly, turned his head to Brother Sixteen and Cao Yong and said, "Brother Sixteen, Cao Yong, help Fourth Brother get up."

Cao Yong was watching the meeting of father and son, monarch and ministers with cold eyes. He didn't expect to have his own business.

It's just for show, after all, the fourth elder brother is sick, and it's not until he can't move.

The fourth elder brother was also embarrassed to let the two of them really help, and wanted to get up by himself.But after kneeling for a long time, he felt a little dizzy and couldn't help staggering.

Upon seeing this, Cao Yong gave Brother Sixteen a nudge.

The sixteenth elder brother took a step forward, just in time to catch the fourth elder brother.

During this struggle, the fourth elder brother's face was pale, and the sweat on his forehead became more intense.He was wearing blue silk clothes, and his back was soaked.

Rao Kangxi had thought about it before, seeing his son at this point, he couldn't help but frown, feeling a little worried.

As a father, he is proud. He cannot be said to be both civil and military, and he has no mediocrity; as a father, he is sad. Not just flesh and blood.

As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, what he feared the most was not wars caused by foreign countries, nor the unrest among the people, but his capable sons.

In the past dynasties, the emperors who did not die well have never been so rare?

Those who should be suppressed should be suppressed, and those who should be prevented should be prevented. He suffered a serious illness a few days ago, not just because of the solar eclipse, nor was he worried about the military affairs in the northwest and southeast, but because he found that he was really old.

His eyes are already blurred, and he has to squint his eyes when looking at things, and he can't read the scriptures without glasses; his ears are also heavy, and he has to listen hard every time to hear what others are saying clearly.

Not only that, but his memory is also fading.

Sometimes, listening to the recent reports from the courtiers, I just feel that they sound familiar, and I can't even remember that I ordered them to go down.

Even if he is afraid of old age and death, he can no longer deceive himself.

Yu Yu has been on the throne for 60 years, and has been No. 1 throughout the ages. He knows that he should be satisfied.

In other words, there is still nothing to worry about, that is, he lacks a prince who can reassure him.

Of the three sons who were most likely to inherit the throne, two of them became useless and one died. Among the remaining princes, none of them particularly satisfied Kangxi.

The third elder brother has soft ears, is too sour, likes to listen to good words, loves falsehood and momentum, and has limited knowledge; the fourth elder brother is too cold-hearted, not popular with him, even his biological mother and brothers are not close to him, let alone others; The elder brother and the seventh elder brother only know how to be clumsy and have no self-motivated mind; the ninth elder brother is greedy for money, the tenth elder brother is irritable, the twelfth elder brother is timid, the fourteenth elder brother is arrogant, the fifteenth elder brother is gloomy, and the sixteenth elder brother has a poor vision That's enough, the birth mother's background is low, the seventeenth elder brother lacks tenacity... the thirteenth elder brother, less love...

During the half month lying on the bed, Kangxi thought about his sons in his heart, and none of them were satisfied.

During this period, what the sons did naturally caught Kangxi's eyes.

He is very satisfied with the sixteenth elder brother's intentions; he scoffs at the third elder brother's "filial piety"; he has mixed feelings about the fourth elder brother's actions.

It seems that he is dissatisfied with his "pretentiousness", but also moved by the piety in it.

It's just that the emperor's heart is unfathomable, even if he thinks something in his heart, he will not show it on his face.

Hearing that the fourth elder brother was ill, he temporarily decided to Xingwangyuan with only one purpose, that is to confirm with his own eyes whether the fourth elder brother was really ill or a fake illness.

After seeing it with his own eyes, his chest felt warm, and he was so relieved.

He has always governed the country with "benevolence and filial piety", and his son is also sincere and filial.

After confirming this point, when he looked at the fourth elder brother again, Kangxi's mood was different.

This son is just not used to publicity.

He has never lost courtesy when his biological mother treats him unintimately, and he shows a little bit of filial piety accordingly; he doesn't care if his siblings treat him unintimately, but he can treat his half-brothers as brothers.

Over the years, he has only worked conscientiously on his errands, and he has never been a governor outside, or a Beijing official inside, and strictly abides by his duties as a courtier.

Kangxi's gaze became softer, and he entered the mansion surrounded by everyone in a good mood.

Seeing the sickly appearance of the fourth elder brother, and Kangxi's own physical strength is not enough, he didn't want to go to the fourth elder brother's garden, so he sat in the front hall.

"I heard that you have been recuperating at home these days, and you are also handling the official documents of the household department. This is against the rules. It's better to take care of your health and recuperate your body, and then talk about other things." Kangxi recalled something, and said to the fourth elder brother with a straight face.

After finishing speaking, he seemed to be uneasy, turned his head and said to Cao Yong who was standing under the sixteenth elder brother: "Cao Yong, what I said, you also write it down, I want the fourth elder brother to have a good rest and recuperate, and you are not allowed to take the official business of the household department." Let him rest."

The fourth elder brother heard this, and his heart "thumped".

The emperor's father "arrived suddenly" and took away his job in one sentence. What is the reason for this?

Cao Yong was a bystander, but he could see that Kangxi cared about his son very rarely, but he was used to the strict father's pattern, so he couldn't speak soft words.

Si elder brother's illness, the benefits he got should be more than he imagined.
Thinking in his heart, Cao Yong did not show his face, took a step, bowed and said: "The minister leads the decree."

At this time, the fourth elder brother also came to his senses, so he had to say a few more words of apology.It's nothing more than the same old routine, it's not appropriate to worry the emperor's father, and so on.

Kangxi listened patiently, without any impatience.

Seeing Brother Sixteen and Cao Yong still sitting, Kangxi waved his hand and told them to sit down.

At this moment, Si Fujin had been waiting outside for a long time, because he didn't know the purpose of Kangxi's visit and what was going on in the hall, so he didn't dare to disturb him.

It wasn't until Kangxi asked about Sifujin that someone replied that Sifujin came to greet Kangxi and was waiting outside.

This daughter-in-law was personally selected by the fourth elder brother's adoptive mother, Empress Xiaoyi, who was gentle and virtuous, and Kangxi also valued this daughter-in-law very much.

Seeing that Kangxi ordered Sifu Jin to come in, Brother Sixteen and Cao Yong both got up.

Kangxi glanced at Cao Yong, did not tell him to avoid.

Si Fujin came in with his head down, knelt down to pay his respects.

In front of his daughter-in-law, Kangxi did not put on airs as a strict father, and asked a few words about Si elder brother's diet and daily life.

Hearing that the fourth elder brother is still a vegetarian, he was a little annoyed. He frowned and said, "Nonsense! Being sick like this is just a good way to nourish your body. How can you not touch meat? Even if he is messing around, you should persuade him!"

It seemed that ordinary people's elders were talking, and Sifujin felt that the circles of his eyes were red, not because he was wronged, but because he was grateful, and replied in a low voice: "Huang Ama, my daughter-in-law also persuaded me, but the prince said, before When I was in the palace a few days ago, I made a big announcement in front of the Buddha, and I had to eat ninety-nine and 81 days of fasting, and it is not yet time..."

Although Kangxi was very satisfied with the "filial piety" of the fourth elder brother, he never believed in the theory of gods and Buddhas in his heart: "You are too sincere, why don't you know how to be flexible? Eat it. Eat it for two days on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, or eat it on the fifth and tenth day, since the sincerity has arrived, it will not hurt the body. The body is healthy, and the parents are the ones. The fourth elder brother is filial, and filial piety is unmatched..."

The last sentence is for the fourth elder brother.

Although the words of "reprimand" to Si Age and Si Fujin are real, the concern inside and outside the words is real.

Cao Yong and the sixteenth elder brother looked at each other, thinking about each other in their hearts.The sixteenth elder brother knew in his heart that the emperor's father was moved by the fourth elder brother's "filial piety".

They are all sons, and he felt a little bit jealous, thinking that he was sincerely filial to the emperor's father, and he didn't get a single word of praise from the emperor's father, but the fourth elder brother had a lot of "rewards", but he was also secretly relieved. He took a breath and felt much more at ease.

However, Cao Yong noticed that Kangxi's voice was getting louder, and he asked someone to set the positions of Si Age and Si Fujin too close to Yuqian.

In his previous life, his parents were old people, and in this life, he was raised by the old matriarch when he was a child. How can he not guess the reason for this.

No matter how taboo Kangxi was, it was finally time to choose a reserve...

Si Age and Si Fujin, after hearing the "reprimand", obediently admitted their mistakes.

After Kangxi spoke for a while, he felt a little lack of energy, and couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

He supported his forehead and waited for a while before he spoke to Brother Sixteen to prepare to return to the palace.

Earlier, he wanted to stay Cao Yong to talk, but now he can't take care of it, so he sent him home first.

After coming out of Si Age's mansion, Cao Yong rode back to the other courtyard after watching Sheng Jia go away.

Along the way, he thought about Kangxi's strangeness just now, and was faintly worried.

God bless, don't let history change too much, otherwise he will be caught off guard...
