Reborn in the last years of Kangxi
Chapter 990 Sunset
Chapter 990 Sunset (collapse)
Although he had been bedridden for several days and was extremely weak, the strength of throwing the bowl under Kangxi's rage was astonishing.
The medicine bowl hit the forehead of the man kneeling on the ground, his head was bleeding immediately, and the soup in the bowl splashed all over his face, and dripped onto the front of his clothes, he looked very embarrassed.
However, the man was still kneeling straight on the ground, motionless, looking at Kangxi with contradictory eyes.
"Huang Ama..." His voice was a bit suppressed: "Aside from fourth brother, who else is worthy of being the heir apparent? Didn't Huang Ama know this too, did she pay more attention to him in the past two years?"
"No, loyalty, no, filial piety, de, east, west!" Kangxi was so angry that his whole body trembled, his lips trembling, and he paused every word.
"Huang Ama, my son betrayed Huang Ama's trust, he really deserves death... My son can also stand on the sidelines alone. It's just... when the chaos starts, the blood of Aixinjueluo's descendants will still be shed!" the man said. Kowtow.
Kangxi was furious, staring and said: "I gave 'Blue Eyes' to you, a rebellious son... to let you restrain me?"
The man on the ground still kowtowed.
Blood was flowing from his forehead, and the glaring blood and the medicinal juice on his face were called tichengxing, making him look like a local Shura.
This person is none other than Brother Thirteen.
On his right hand was a yellow satin bag.Inside is the imperial decree issued by Kangxi yesterday, and this decree was sent to the "Great General King" Fourteenth Brother who is far away in Gansu.
In terms of purpose, it is only to call the fourteenth elder brother back to Beijing, without any intention of passing on the throne.
However, at this time, if this decree is leaked out, it is unknown what Elder Fourteen will think.
The point is, he still controls 10,000+ soldiers and horses.
Even if Kangxi had other arrangements in the army, as long as the fourteenth elder brother brought tens of thousands of soldiers back to Beijing, it would be a shocking storm.
Zhungeer has not yet been pacified, Khalkha is still watching, and behind him is Eros who is peeping at the Qing Dynasty.
A single spark can start a prairie fire, Brother Thirteen cannot take this risk.
The thirteenth elder brother didn't know why the emperor's father changed his mind, or why he simply couldn't accept that someone would replace him.
"Huang Ama, even if you change your mind, who in this capital can compete with fourth brother?" The thirteenth elder brother did not answer Kangxi's words, but said earnestly: "Fourth brother has been outstanding all these years. In the eyes of Huang Ama, although he is not good at words, he loves the country and the people, and he will definitely inherit Huang Ama's great cause, so that the people can live and work in peace, the Qing Dynasty will be stable, and the country will last forever!"
Listening to Brother Thirteen's plausible words, Kangxi was a little stunned.
It seems, back to that day, the "Dragon Gu" that Eighth Prince said.
Nine sons fight each other, what is the rest?
"Blue Eyes" has been silent for many years, even if Zhuang Xi and Cao Yin recruit them later, the manpower is still limited.This is why Kangxi can safely hand it over to Brother Thirteen.
Unexpectedly, it was this power of eyes and ears that he no longer cared about, but now bound the emperor's hands and feet.
Even knowing that Brother Thirteen was right, Kangxi still couldn't accept this situation.
He only felt blackness in front of his eyes, and his throat was salty, so he did not faint on the bed: "Do you really think I can't kill you?"
The thirteenth elder brother kowtowed and said: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die; the father wants the son to die, and the son has to die."
Kangxi sneered a few times, watching him speechless.Although he is sick, he is not confused.
The thirteenth elder brother acted arbitrarily and recklessly, and robbed the imperial decree, which is already a capital offense.
At this time, Brother Thirteen only had worries, no pride in the success of the scheme, and no extra desire in his eyes.
What is he worried about?What was he trying to stop?
Thinking of this, Kangxi felt a twinge in his heart, unable to breathe, and asked dumbly: "Longkodo... is the fourth child..."
He stared at Brother Thirteen, as if he was asking himself, or Brother Thirteen.
Compared with the thirteen elder brothers who robbed the imperial decree privately, this hit Kangxi even more.
Seeing that the thirteenth elder brother didn't deny it, his eyes darkened, and he fell straight down.
When the thirteenth elder brother saw this, he was so frightened that his soul flew out of his wits. He immediately got up and moved forward to support Kangxi.
The thirteenth elder brother supported his father with his eyes closed tightly, and gently put him down on the kang, the tears could no longer be stopped, and fell down.
If there are other options, he doesn't want to take this step.Over the years, no matter how much wronged he has suffered, this person in front of him is his most respected emperor father.
With the occasional coma of the emperor's father in the past few days, the outside world has quietly changed dramatically.
Except for the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother, from the third elder brother to the young 24th elder brother, all the princes came to Changchun Garden to serve the sick.
Just when everyone was still speculating about the ownership of the crown prince, the Eight Banners infantry and patrol battalion outside the Changchun Garden had already surrounded the three floors inside the Changchun Garden and the three floors outside.
Even if someone occasionally noticed this, they would think that Longkodo was the imperial guard.Only the thirteenth elder brother knew that Kangxi never made such a decree.
Now, if not a foregone conclusion, it is a dead end.
Kangxi just fainted for a while, and when Brother Thirteen's tears fell on his face, he had already woken up.
Seeing Elder Thirteen crying like a child, Kangxi actually thought of Elder Thirteen when he was young, and his originally angry heart gradually calmed down.
For the past four or five days, every time he woke up, he was in conflict.
He hated the fourth elder brother for being deceived all these years, and he didn't want him to inherit the throne, but now he wants to find someone else to be the heir apparent, how easy is it?
What Kangxi was afraid of was that his sons would spill blood and kill each other.
Now, he is unable to control it himself.
He sighed heavily, awakening the thirteenth elder brother who was crying sadly.
"Huang...Huang Ama..." Brother Thirteen asked nervously.
Kangxi slowly closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Get lost!"
Elder Brother Thirteen wanted to say something more, but after hesitating again and again, he closed his mouth, responded, and retreated to the door.
At this moment, Wei Zhu's palms were sweating, and his legs were trembling slightly.
Both Longkodo and Thirteenth Lord belong to the fourth elder brother, so it seems that I made the right bet.
Although I don't know why the emperor insisted on not setting up the fourth elder brother, but there are many people in Longko. In the capital, who else can compete with the fourth elder brother?
Elder Brother Thirteen withdrew from the door, but he was not as optimistic as Wei Zhu.
The emperor's father, Yuyu, has been on the throne for sixty years and has long been accustomed to the arbitrary nature of the universe, so how could he be so willing to be ruled.
Sure enough, in the room, Kangxi opened his eyes, and his expression was already clear: "Send someone to tell the fifteen elder brothers... waiter..." After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, and his chest was panting like a bellows.
Wei Zhu leaned over to answer, feeling uncertain in her heart.
Why is the fifteenth elder brother summoned instead of the sixteenth elder brother?
If the sixteenth elder brother has always been favored by the emperor, it is understandable to stay by his side to serve the sick. Why did the fifteenth elder brother change inexplicably?
He was puzzled in his heart, but there was no delay in his steps, he retreated on tiptoe, asked the little eunuch to pass on Kangxi's oral instructions, and asked someone to boil another portion of Kangxi's medicine.Kangxi was so angry that he dropped the medicine bowl.
At this moment, the fifteenth elder brother, together with the third elder brother, the ninth elder brother, and the tenth elder brother, are waiting to see you in the Zangzhuzhai, which is just south of Qingxi Bookstore.
Originally, the seventh elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother, and the seventeenth elder brother were also there.Later, seeing that the seventh elder brother had a leg problem, the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother sent seventh elder brother to the sixteenth elder brother's residence for a rest.
The third elder brother and the ninth elder brother have always been at odds, and now they stare wide-eyed, not bothering to put on a smile, occasionally glance at each other, and just snort twice.
Elder Brother Ten was very bored, looked at the door, and said to Elder Ninth, "Where did Old Thirteen go? I haven't seen him since afternoon."
When Brother Nine heard the words, his face drooped, and he looked at the door with obscure eyes.
The third elder brother and the fifteenth elder brother looked at each other, and they also saw each other's doubts and guards.
Although the thirteenth elder brother is the prince of Wujue, there is the fourth elder brother standing behind him. If he does something, who will know what the consequences will be?
They were guessing wildly, when they saw a little eunuch come over and pass on a word of mouth, ordering the fifteenth elder brother to serve the sick in front of the imperial court.
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes fell on Brother Fifteen.
Brother Fifteen was a little confused, he just thought he had heard wrong.However, under the fiery gaze of everyone, he knew that this was not an illusion, the emperor had indeed summoned him.
He turned his head sideways and looked at the third elder brother.
It happened that the third elder brother was also looking at him, and the two looked at him alternately, and the fifteenth elder brother could tell that the third elder brother's expression was a little stiff.
Seeing this, the fifteenth elder brother sighed in his heart, didn't say anything, and followed the little eunuch to the imperial court.
Before he left, Brother Nine sneered and raised his chin to look at Brother Three.
San Age always regarded himself as the eldest son, and was used to putting on airs.Today, the fourth elder brother is the one offering sacrifices in this generation, and the fifteenth elder brother is the imperial servant. There is no such thing as him as the "eldest son".
Because of the eighth elder brother's death, the ninth elder brother vented his anger on his brothers, among whom the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother hated the most.It's just because these few people have a heart to ask questions, and they are the sworn enemies of Eighth Prince.
Although the third elder brother has read a lot of books and his reaction is a bit slow, he is not a brainless person.
Ninth elder brother's eyes are so contemptuous, how could third elder brother fail to see what he meant, his face was flushed red, and his face was so serious that he was about to reprimand him.
Brother Nine didn't intend to buy his account, so he turned around and patted Brother Ten on the shoulder, and said loudly, "Brother Ten, you're tired of sitting, why don't you go out for a walk?"
The tenth elder brother always took him as the leader, after hearing his words, he honestly agreed, and the two brothers left the house together.
The third elder brother was the only one left in the room, and his face was full of resentment.But there is no other way, I can only wait for Brother Fifteen to come back and then inquire about the news.
He is not the only one who has such thoughts.
Now, the dragon body is not hesitant, and there is no prince.The remaining prince elder brother is not even qualified to ask the imperial physician a few more questions.
The big guys stayed in the Changchun Garden for two days, but they didn't see the emperor's father, and they had different thoughts in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, until it was time to light the lanterns, Brother Fifteen would not come back.
The third elder brother's mood became serious, he had been a father and son for nearly 50 years, he couldn't say that he could figure out what he wanted, but he knew that the emperor had always been indifferent to the fifteenth elder brother, and he didn't see any closeness.
If you think of something, it is still reasonable to pass on the fifteenth elder brother occasionally; there is no reason to keep the fifteenth elder brother in front of the imperial court.
Others also became suspicious, especially the sixteenth elder brother who had the same mother as the fifteenth elder brother.
At the beginning of Hai (nine o'clock in the evening), he didn't see Brother Fifteen coming back, so he couldn't help it anymore, and went directly to look for someone outside Qingxi Bookstore.
Shengjia is here, as the prince, he has no will, and he can't force his way in. He can only make the little eunuch pass the message to Wei Zhu.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zhu was no longer in front of the imperial court.
Ask other questions, but the little eunuch refused to say a word.
Brother Sixteen looked at the lights in Qingxi Bookstore, and felt his eyelids jumping endlessly.
The north wind howled, thick clouds covered the moon in the sky, and snowflakes fluttered profusely.The snowflakes hit his face and fell on his neck, making him shiver...
*
Old Summer Palace, Fu Le Hall.
The fourth elder brother is still silent, since the thirteenth elder brother arrived, he has been silent for two hours.
On this day, Elder Brother Thirteen was kneeling and bleeding again, and after a busy day, he hadn't had any rice water, so he was sitting on a chair, haggard.
It's just that he was thinking about his own thoughts, and he didn't even care about the hunger in his stomach.Although he is anxious, there are some things that even his own brothers cannot make decisions on his behalf. Brother Thirteen can only wait.
If an outsider enters the house at this time, they must be surprised, because besides the four princes and the thirteenth princes, there is also Wei Zhu, the eunuch who was in charge of the imperial court.
The thirteenth elder brother could survive, but Wei Zhu couldn't bear it.
He was ordered to go to the Qinghe camp together with the fifteenth elder brother, and he has been out for more than three hours so far.
If the emperor took the medicine and fell asleep, it would be fine, and when the two masters figured out a way, maybe he could fool him when he went back; if the emperor didn't sleep, and he had been out for more than three hours and hadn't returned to the garden, it would be unreasonable.
He was hungry and anxious, but he didn't dare to urge the fourth elder brother, and he was able to wink at the thirteenth elder brother fiercely.
The thirteenth elder brother glanced at the clock on the ground, and said: "Fourth brother, if Huang Ama doesn't wait for the news, maybe he will send someone out again."
On the face of the fourth elder brother, there was no longing, no excitement, only deep exhaustion.
Finally got to this point!
He sighed deeply, stood up, looked at the thirteenth elder brother and said: "Thirteenth brother... until now, nothing is what I want. It's just that there is no turning back. I'm afraid, this time I have to beg On the head of the thirteenth brother."
The thirteenth elder brother got up and said: "Fourth brother is in trouble, and younger brother knows it. If there is something, fourth brother can just tell, younger brother is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse, and he will die!"
The fourth elder brother looked at him, his gaze gradually turned resolute.
There was silence in the room, and it took half a cup of tea before I heard the fourth elder brother say in a deep voice: "In that case, please invite the thirteenth brother to go to the Qinghe camp and take the military power of the Three Banners into your hands!"
The thirteenth elder brother couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard the words.
The Qinghe camp was stationed in the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner, and Zhengbai Banner three Beijing camps, which were led by the emperor himself.
If he mastered the Three Banners military affairs of Qinghe Daying Camp, that would be great.
If the thirteenth elder brother has the heart of disobedience, with the help of the Three Banners military affairs, he can also deal with Longkodo one or two times.
After all, in terms of status, Longkodo is only the guardian of Gyeonggi, and the three banners and three battalions are the real emperor's pro-army.
The fourth elder brother is now in the potential to leap into the sky, and he can rest assured that the thirteenth elder brother will take over the Qinghe camp, which shows his trust.
I am afraid that if it is changed to Longkodo, the fourth elder brother will not be at ease.
"Fourth brother...I...I..." The thirteenth elder brother looked at the fourth elder brother with a little excitement.
For the fourth elder brother, he was not without guilt.
The fourth elder brother has protected him for many years and has always been confidant to him, but the thirteenth elder brother has kept the matter of taking over "Blue Eyes" a secret.Although it was not malicious, it lost its honesty in the end.
Unexpectedly, at the most critical moment in the fourth elder brother's life, he trusted the thirteenth elder brother so without hesitation.
"My younger brother will definitely live up to the entrustment of my fourth brother!" The thirteenth elder brother suppressed his excitement, turned around and said to Wei Zhu: "Boss, let's go!"
At this moment, it is Haizheng (ten o'clock in the evening).
With an empty stomach, Wei Zhu followed Thirteenth Brother out of Changchun Garden with a bit of apprehension.
Is this taking over the big camp as simple as lip service?Even if they have the trump card in their hands, Wei Zhu, the chief executive, and the "manuscript" with the seal, their future is uncertain.
Because Kangxi was unable to write and Zhao Chang was not around, this "hand letter" was written by the fifteenth elder brother.
If it were someone else, who wasn't familiar with Kangxi's handwriting, maybe they wouldn't cause trouble, but the newly appointed Dutong with the Yellow Banner is Twelve Elder Brothers.
As an elder brother of the prince, how could he not be familiar with Kangxi's handwriting?
The thirteenth elder brother was much calmer, and calmly left the Old Summer Palace, got on his horse and walked.
Wei Zhu originally thought that the fourth elder brother would send people to accompany him, but he didn't expect it to be.He and the thirteenth elder brother, still taking several guards and long followers of the thirteenth elder brother, went to the Qinghe camp.
Because the dark clouds cover the moon and the north wind howls, it is difficult to see things.
Even if the leading guard held up a wind lantern, it was just a little bit of light in front of his eyes.
After such a difficult journey, it was already Chouchu (one o'clock in the morning) when everyone arrived at Fengtai Daying.
The thirteenth elder brother rode his horse and stood in front of the big camp, squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and then said: "Let's go to Zhengbaiqi first..."
*
Changchun Garden, Qingxi Bookstore.
Kangxi sat leaning on the kang, and on the small table at hand, there was a small blue and white bowl, which contained the medicinal juice that had already cooled down.
He stared at the clock on the ground, but he couldn't see clearly.
"Come on..." He wanted to shout, but all he could say was "uh uh".Fortunately, the little eunuch on duty at night was clever. Hearing the movement, he bowed forward and said, "Your Majesty's master?"
Kangxi used a lot of strength to raise his arm and pointed to the clock on the table under the window.
The little eunuch looked along Kangxi's arm, passed the square table's bile bottle and coral table screen, and finally confirmed that it was on the clock, and carefully replied: "My lord, it's the second quarter of Maochu (05:30 in the morning) .”
Kangxi looked straight at the clock, as if he couldn't believe it.
This little eunuch is Wei Zhu's apprentice Sun Changqing, and he is also very clever.Seeing Kangxi like this, he stomped back to the window, carried the clock to the side of the kang, raised his hands high, and sent it to Kangxi.
At such a short distance, even Kangxi's old eyes are dim, but he can see clearly, it is Maochu.
His face was getting paler and his eyes were getting redder.
At this moment, if he still doesn't know what his situation is, then he has been emperor for more than 60 years in vain.
He swallowed, moistened his swollen throat that could hardly make a sound, and slowly asked, "Which elder brothers...in the garden..."
Chang Qing was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
It should be asking, which elder brother is not in the garden?The emperor is sick, and the elder brother who has no errands will naturally have to wait on the sick.
"Except for the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother, the other prince elder brothers are all in the garden." Chang Qing thought about it and replied.
Only then did Kangxi understand why Brother Thirteen wanted to prevent him from making other arrangements.
The prince and elder brother are all in Changchun Garden, and Long Kedo's infantry is not vegetarian.Since they have planned so far, there must be disloyal people among the Changchun Garden garrison.
If the matter drags on, it is not the fourth elder brother who needs to be on guard the most, but Longkodo.
If he continues to be "unreconciled", the situation of Aixinjueluo's family will be in danger.
Before this, Kangxi originally thought of several ways to make the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother turn against each other.The pride of the emperor made him unable to tolerate betrayal, even if it was his son, his pride could not tolerate it.
Then, at this moment, his mood is not important anymore.
The important thing is that he believed in the wrong person and handed over one-third of the people in Gyeonggi to Longkodo.
Behind Longkodo, there is the Tong family known as "Tong Banchao", a family with two fathers.
Since he is quite ambitious, he has betrayed his trust for decades in order to be greedy and support the world; there is no guarantee that he will not become mad and have other thoughts.
Kangxi couldn't hold it any longer, closed his eyes, and lost consciousness...
*
In the Qinghe camp in the early morning, the sound of soldiers practicing can be heard from the school grounds.
The north wind has stopped, the snow has settled, the sky is as blue as washing, and the golden wheel in the east is just rising, glowing red.
Having such a sunny day in the cold winter makes the soldiers on drill feel better, and the voices of everyone chanting are much brighter.
Everything seemed to be the same as before, nothing different.There were only a few careful participants who found that Du Tong and Deputy Du Tong didn't show up today.
However, no one thought much about it. Everyone knew that the new capital had just taken office these few days.
The newcomers are all yellow belts, and they are used to enjoying themselves in the city. It is understandable that they can't get up in the morning when they first arrive at the barracks.Du Tong didn't show his face, so in order to avoid the boss's edge, the deputy Du Tong naturally had to avoid it.
What they didn't know was that except for Dutong of Xiangbai Banner who had asked for leave for the past two days and did not return to the camp, the other Dutong and Deputy Dutong were all in the official office of Dutong of Xianghuang Banner.
It is said to be the government office, but it is just five barracks in the northwest of Xianghuang Banner.
The Eight Banners are established, each banner is unified, and the deputy capital is unified.
In Qinghe Daying camp, there should be a total of three governors and six deputy governors.
However, at this moment, in front of Elder Brother Thirteen, there are only two Dutongs and three Vice Dutongs, and the other three Vice Dutongs have already turned into corpses, helping them to the ground.
Their deaths were not "from unknown teachers", but they were beheaded on the charge of "colluding with internal ministers and having ulterior motives".
Others were "ordered" to stay at the Qinghe camp, waiting for the "emperor's order"...
Unexpectedly, this stay lasted for a whole day and night.
It wasn't until Chouzheng on the thirteenth day (two o'clock in the morning) that the servants came to the camp to pass the decree, and asked the twelfth and thirteenth elder brothers to meet in Changchun Garden.
During this whole day and night, the twelfth elder brother didn't say a word to the thirteenth elder brother.
That night, he was woken up by Elder Brother Thirteen and Wei Zhu in bed.
Just when he was in a daze, a steel knife was stuffed in his hand, and then with the "assistance" of Brother Thirteen, he beheaded the deputy capital with the yellow flag.
This vice-dutong was born in a wealthy Manchurian family. He worked as a bodyguard in front of the imperial court in his early years, and has always been relied on by Kangxi. He can be called the emperor's confidant.
The twelfth elder brother was still ignorant at the time, and really thought that the thirteenth elder brother was acting "by order".Afterwards, he found that the thirteenth elder brother had already taken control of the Qinghe camp, so he realized that something was wrong.
But there is no place to buy regret medicine, he committed such a disaster, even if he went to the imperial court, he would not be able to pick it off.
He has been careful all these years, for fear of being burdened with the slightest right and wrong. He really doesn't understand why the thirteenth elder brother, who usually looks at being kind to others, is so calculating about himself.
I don't know if the thirteenth elder brother felt wronged, but he was also silent all the way, and didn't take the initiative to say anything.
When the two brothers arrived at Qingxi Bookstore, it was already brightly lit.Not only the third elder brother, seventh elder brother and others are there, but also a few younger elder brothers.Apart from the prince elder brother, the only outsider waiting to see him is the nine-door admiral Longkodo.
After a short time, some servants came out to preach the decree and pass it on to the audience.
Because of the limited space in the inner room where Kangxi lived, only a few elder brothers and Longkodo were sent to the imperial couch, and the younger elder brothers below the sixteenth elder brother knelt outside the curtain.
Kangxi turned his face sideways, and his eyes fell directly on Longkodo.
Although Longkodo leaned over to the ground, he seemed to be aware of Kangxi's gaze.His body froze, he didn't raise his head, he just pressed his neck lower and knocked his forehead on the gold brick.
Kangxi let out a long breath, and swallowed the words that had come to his lips.
His gaze moved away and swept over every prince elder brother.These were his sons, sons he had been proud of, sons he had hated and cursed.
Brother San's braids are black, it looks like he has dyed his hair.A few years ago, he had paid tribute to dyes, but Kangxi didn't use them.I just hope that he cherishes his feathers as much as he cherishes his own hair, and be a clan prince in peace.
Seventh elder brother's body is stooped, compared with third elder brother, he looks much older.This son has been worrying too much since he was a child, and he has gray hair in his early twenties.It is said that one can be strong without desire, because of his physical disability and his mother's invisibility, he is doomed to have no fate with the dragon chair, so he should have lived more comfortably.But as a prince, with so many powerful brothers, he had to think hard and step by step, just to protect himself.
Brother Nine is too feminine, and his behavior is too extreme.Kangxi hates and loves this son at the same time. What he hates is that he is not in good shape, without the stability and progress of the prince's elder brother; Some straight people.It's just that he is the emperor's father, so he can bear such a son; can that person bear it?
Kangxi's eyes dimmed, and he turned to Elder Brother Nine next to Elder Brother Nine.
This son is rough on the outside and clever on the inside, and he is as wise as a fool.Even if they were involved in the battle for the heir apparent, they were subordinates, not on the cusp of the storm.Plus there is a prominent mother clan, no matter who comes to power, it shouldn't be too difficult for him.
Elder Brother Twelve... still shrinks back and forth, with a bit of timidity and a bit of pettiness, which makes people only sigh.That's fine, such cowardice will never hinder the eyes of others.
Thirteen elder brothers...
Thirteen elder brothers...
Kangxi's eyes did not know where to go, and his voice was calm and clear: "The fourth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, has a noble character and is deeply respected by me. He will surely inherit the great order and succeed me to the throne, that is, the emperor's throne!"
This sentence, like a thunderbolt, shocked all the princes and elder brothers.
Even though no one dared to make a noise in front of the imperial court, but you look at me and I look at you with incredible expressions on your face.
Brother Nine took two steps on his knees and wanted to speak, but Brother Ten pulled him out and gagged his mouth.
Kangxi didn't speak any more, but waved his hand lightly, motioning everyone to back down.
Brother Nine was still struggling, but Brother Ten held him tightly.He has a fat body, but Elder Brother Ten has thin bones, so it is very difficult to pull him.
The thirteenth elder brother saw this, walked to the other side of the ninth elder brother, and together with the tenth elder brother, drove the ninth elder brother out.
At this moment, the 21th elder brother and the 22th elder brother also retreated outside the study with the 24th, [-]st, [-]nd, and [-]th elder brothers.
No one said anything, everyone was silent, not knowing what to do next.
What does the emperor mean, to set up the crown prince in front of them?But where is the prince?
If it is a "last order", then should they be preparing to support the fourth elder brother to ascend the throne and kowtow to the fourth elder brother as a "monarch and minister": if it is not a "last order", they have to continue to stay here and do their best. The responsibility is to send the emperor to his death.
Brother Nine struggled to break free, knocked off Brother Ten's hand, and said angrily, "Why stop me? I'll ask Ama Huang to ask if he has been fooled... woo woo..." He didn't say anything After finishing, Elder Brother Shi covered his mouth again.
"Ninth Brother, please be careful with your words!" Tenth Brother's face was a bit solemn, and he looked at Ninth Brother with a little comfort and concern in his eyes.
Ninth elder brother snorted coldly, looked at the brothers in front of him, and happened to meet the third elder brother who was sizing him up.
Brother Nine twitched the corner of his mouth and stopped talking.
While everyone was not paying attention, the thirteenth elder brother approached Longkodo and asked in a low voice, "When will the fourth brother come?"
"One hour ago, the emperor sent people to the southern suburbs to pass on the fourth elder brother." Long Kedo replied softly.
Brother Thirteen couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
Changchun Garden is about [-] miles away from Nanjiao Zhaisuo, and this is another late night journey.Besides, the situation is so urgent, how can the fourth elder brother rest assured that he is in the fasting place, most of them are originally in the Old Summer Palace.
Now that he knew that there was an imperial envoy to deliver the decree, he had to go to the southern suburbs overnight to receive the decree there.
After all this tossing, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Changchun Garden for a while.
Fortunately, the tenth elder brother persuaded and suppressed the ninth elder brother who wanted to make trouble; although the third elder brother was also dissatisfied, he always cherished his reputation and did not dare to say anything on the charge of disobedience.
Kangxi has become an unstoppable trend. After discussing with everyone, the sixteenth elder brother moved him to Qingxi Bookstore to sleep.
Except for the young 24-year-old brother, who is only seven years old and has no worries, he has already fallen asleep in the arms of the [-]-year-old brother; the other princes and brothers are all weighed down by the words "end of life", and their hearts are heavy .Even Brother Nine, who was full of resentment, didn't move any more, just staring outside the bedroom.
From Yinshi to dawn, from dawn to Sichu (nine o'clock in the morning), just a few hours, to everyone, it seems like a few days.
Fourth brother, finally here.
He came rushing forward, without his usual steadiness, leaving a series of footsteps in a "deng deng", ignoring to say hello to the brothers who were guarding outside, he rushed directly into Kangxi's bedroom.
Everyone looked at his disappearing back with different expressions.
Everyone knows that maybe from today onwards, the brothers will be different, they will lose a royal brother or brother, and have a new prince.
This day is getting longer and longer.
Except for the fourth elder brother who went to the dormitory three times to say hello, no one was called.
Apart from entering the dormitory to say hello, at other times, the fourth elder brother, like everyone else, is waiting to see you in the dormitory.
To put it nicely, it is "see you", the big guys know it well, but they are just waiting for the emperor's father to "bin Tian".
Kangxi had fallen into a coma, and the imperial physician went into the bedroom to ask for a pulse every half an hour.
At the beginning of Xu (nine o'clock in the evening), a generation of emperors, Emperor Kangxi, collapsed!
*

(End of this chapter)
Although he had been bedridden for several days and was extremely weak, the strength of throwing the bowl under Kangxi's rage was astonishing.
The medicine bowl hit the forehead of the man kneeling on the ground, his head was bleeding immediately, and the soup in the bowl splashed all over his face, and dripped onto the front of his clothes, he looked very embarrassed.
However, the man was still kneeling straight on the ground, motionless, looking at Kangxi with contradictory eyes.
"Huang Ama..." His voice was a bit suppressed: "Aside from fourth brother, who else is worthy of being the heir apparent? Didn't Huang Ama know this too, did she pay more attention to him in the past two years?"
"No, loyalty, no, filial piety, de, east, west!" Kangxi was so angry that his whole body trembled, his lips trembling, and he paused every word.
"Huang Ama, my son betrayed Huang Ama's trust, he really deserves death... My son can also stand on the sidelines alone. It's just... when the chaos starts, the blood of Aixinjueluo's descendants will still be shed!" the man said. Kowtow.
Kangxi was furious, staring and said: "I gave 'Blue Eyes' to you, a rebellious son... to let you restrain me?"
The man on the ground still kowtowed.
Blood was flowing from his forehead, and the glaring blood and the medicinal juice on his face were called tichengxing, making him look like a local Shura.
This person is none other than Brother Thirteen.
On his right hand was a yellow satin bag.Inside is the imperial decree issued by Kangxi yesterday, and this decree was sent to the "Great General King" Fourteenth Brother who is far away in Gansu.
In terms of purpose, it is only to call the fourteenth elder brother back to Beijing, without any intention of passing on the throne.
However, at this time, if this decree is leaked out, it is unknown what Elder Fourteen will think.
The point is, he still controls 10,000+ soldiers and horses.
Even if Kangxi had other arrangements in the army, as long as the fourteenth elder brother brought tens of thousands of soldiers back to Beijing, it would be a shocking storm.
Zhungeer has not yet been pacified, Khalkha is still watching, and behind him is Eros who is peeping at the Qing Dynasty.
A single spark can start a prairie fire, Brother Thirteen cannot take this risk.
The thirteenth elder brother didn't know why the emperor's father changed his mind, or why he simply couldn't accept that someone would replace him.
"Huang Ama, even if you change your mind, who in this capital can compete with fourth brother?" The thirteenth elder brother did not answer Kangxi's words, but said earnestly: "Fourth brother has been outstanding all these years. In the eyes of Huang Ama, although he is not good at words, he loves the country and the people, and he will definitely inherit Huang Ama's great cause, so that the people can live and work in peace, the Qing Dynasty will be stable, and the country will last forever!"
Listening to Brother Thirteen's plausible words, Kangxi was a little stunned.
It seems, back to that day, the "Dragon Gu" that Eighth Prince said.
Nine sons fight each other, what is the rest?
"Blue Eyes" has been silent for many years, even if Zhuang Xi and Cao Yin recruit them later, the manpower is still limited.This is why Kangxi can safely hand it over to Brother Thirteen.
Unexpectedly, it was this power of eyes and ears that he no longer cared about, but now bound the emperor's hands and feet.
Even knowing that Brother Thirteen was right, Kangxi still couldn't accept this situation.
He only felt blackness in front of his eyes, and his throat was salty, so he did not faint on the bed: "Do you really think I can't kill you?"
The thirteenth elder brother kowtowed and said: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die; the father wants the son to die, and the son has to die."
Kangxi sneered a few times, watching him speechless.Although he is sick, he is not confused.
The thirteenth elder brother acted arbitrarily and recklessly, and robbed the imperial decree, which is already a capital offense.
At this time, Brother Thirteen only had worries, no pride in the success of the scheme, and no extra desire in his eyes.
What is he worried about?What was he trying to stop?
Thinking of this, Kangxi felt a twinge in his heart, unable to breathe, and asked dumbly: "Longkodo... is the fourth child..."
He stared at Brother Thirteen, as if he was asking himself, or Brother Thirteen.
Compared with the thirteen elder brothers who robbed the imperial decree privately, this hit Kangxi even more.
Seeing that the thirteenth elder brother didn't deny it, his eyes darkened, and he fell straight down.
When the thirteenth elder brother saw this, he was so frightened that his soul flew out of his wits. He immediately got up and moved forward to support Kangxi.
The thirteenth elder brother supported his father with his eyes closed tightly, and gently put him down on the kang, the tears could no longer be stopped, and fell down.
If there are other options, he doesn't want to take this step.Over the years, no matter how much wronged he has suffered, this person in front of him is his most respected emperor father.
With the occasional coma of the emperor's father in the past few days, the outside world has quietly changed dramatically.
Except for the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother, from the third elder brother to the young 24th elder brother, all the princes came to Changchun Garden to serve the sick.
Just when everyone was still speculating about the ownership of the crown prince, the Eight Banners infantry and patrol battalion outside the Changchun Garden had already surrounded the three floors inside the Changchun Garden and the three floors outside.
Even if someone occasionally noticed this, they would think that Longkodo was the imperial guard.Only the thirteenth elder brother knew that Kangxi never made such a decree.
Now, if not a foregone conclusion, it is a dead end.
Kangxi just fainted for a while, and when Brother Thirteen's tears fell on his face, he had already woken up.
Seeing Elder Thirteen crying like a child, Kangxi actually thought of Elder Thirteen when he was young, and his originally angry heart gradually calmed down.
For the past four or five days, every time he woke up, he was in conflict.
He hated the fourth elder brother for being deceived all these years, and he didn't want him to inherit the throne, but now he wants to find someone else to be the heir apparent, how easy is it?
What Kangxi was afraid of was that his sons would spill blood and kill each other.
Now, he is unable to control it himself.
He sighed heavily, awakening the thirteenth elder brother who was crying sadly.
"Huang...Huang Ama..." Brother Thirteen asked nervously.
Kangxi slowly closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Get lost!"
Elder Brother Thirteen wanted to say something more, but after hesitating again and again, he closed his mouth, responded, and retreated to the door.
At this moment, Wei Zhu's palms were sweating, and his legs were trembling slightly.
Both Longkodo and Thirteenth Lord belong to the fourth elder brother, so it seems that I made the right bet.
Although I don't know why the emperor insisted on not setting up the fourth elder brother, but there are many people in Longko. In the capital, who else can compete with the fourth elder brother?
Elder Brother Thirteen withdrew from the door, but he was not as optimistic as Wei Zhu.
The emperor's father, Yuyu, has been on the throne for sixty years and has long been accustomed to the arbitrary nature of the universe, so how could he be so willing to be ruled.
Sure enough, in the room, Kangxi opened his eyes, and his expression was already clear: "Send someone to tell the fifteen elder brothers... waiter..." After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, and his chest was panting like a bellows.
Wei Zhu leaned over to answer, feeling uncertain in her heart.
Why is the fifteenth elder brother summoned instead of the sixteenth elder brother?
If the sixteenth elder brother has always been favored by the emperor, it is understandable to stay by his side to serve the sick. Why did the fifteenth elder brother change inexplicably?
He was puzzled in his heart, but there was no delay in his steps, he retreated on tiptoe, asked the little eunuch to pass on Kangxi's oral instructions, and asked someone to boil another portion of Kangxi's medicine.Kangxi was so angry that he dropped the medicine bowl.
At this moment, the fifteenth elder brother, together with the third elder brother, the ninth elder brother, and the tenth elder brother, are waiting to see you in the Zangzhuzhai, which is just south of Qingxi Bookstore.
Originally, the seventh elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother, and the seventeenth elder brother were also there.Later, seeing that the seventh elder brother had a leg problem, the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother sent seventh elder brother to the sixteenth elder brother's residence for a rest.
The third elder brother and the ninth elder brother have always been at odds, and now they stare wide-eyed, not bothering to put on a smile, occasionally glance at each other, and just snort twice.
Elder Brother Ten was very bored, looked at the door, and said to Elder Ninth, "Where did Old Thirteen go? I haven't seen him since afternoon."
When Brother Nine heard the words, his face drooped, and he looked at the door with obscure eyes.
The third elder brother and the fifteenth elder brother looked at each other, and they also saw each other's doubts and guards.
Although the thirteenth elder brother is the prince of Wujue, there is the fourth elder brother standing behind him. If he does something, who will know what the consequences will be?
They were guessing wildly, when they saw a little eunuch come over and pass on a word of mouth, ordering the fifteenth elder brother to serve the sick in front of the imperial court.
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes fell on Brother Fifteen.
Brother Fifteen was a little confused, he just thought he had heard wrong.However, under the fiery gaze of everyone, he knew that this was not an illusion, the emperor had indeed summoned him.
He turned his head sideways and looked at the third elder brother.
It happened that the third elder brother was also looking at him, and the two looked at him alternately, and the fifteenth elder brother could tell that the third elder brother's expression was a little stiff.
Seeing this, the fifteenth elder brother sighed in his heart, didn't say anything, and followed the little eunuch to the imperial court.
Before he left, Brother Nine sneered and raised his chin to look at Brother Three.
San Age always regarded himself as the eldest son, and was used to putting on airs.Today, the fourth elder brother is the one offering sacrifices in this generation, and the fifteenth elder brother is the imperial servant. There is no such thing as him as the "eldest son".
Because of the eighth elder brother's death, the ninth elder brother vented his anger on his brothers, among whom the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother hated the most.It's just because these few people have a heart to ask questions, and they are the sworn enemies of Eighth Prince.
Although the third elder brother has read a lot of books and his reaction is a bit slow, he is not a brainless person.
Ninth elder brother's eyes are so contemptuous, how could third elder brother fail to see what he meant, his face was flushed red, and his face was so serious that he was about to reprimand him.
Brother Nine didn't intend to buy his account, so he turned around and patted Brother Ten on the shoulder, and said loudly, "Brother Ten, you're tired of sitting, why don't you go out for a walk?"
The tenth elder brother always took him as the leader, after hearing his words, he honestly agreed, and the two brothers left the house together.
The third elder brother was the only one left in the room, and his face was full of resentment.But there is no other way, I can only wait for Brother Fifteen to come back and then inquire about the news.
He is not the only one who has such thoughts.
Now, the dragon body is not hesitant, and there is no prince.The remaining prince elder brother is not even qualified to ask the imperial physician a few more questions.
The big guys stayed in the Changchun Garden for two days, but they didn't see the emperor's father, and they had different thoughts in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, until it was time to light the lanterns, Brother Fifteen would not come back.
The third elder brother's mood became serious, he had been a father and son for nearly 50 years, he couldn't say that he could figure out what he wanted, but he knew that the emperor had always been indifferent to the fifteenth elder brother, and he didn't see any closeness.
If you think of something, it is still reasonable to pass on the fifteenth elder brother occasionally; there is no reason to keep the fifteenth elder brother in front of the imperial court.
Others also became suspicious, especially the sixteenth elder brother who had the same mother as the fifteenth elder brother.
At the beginning of Hai (nine o'clock in the evening), he didn't see Brother Fifteen coming back, so he couldn't help it anymore, and went directly to look for someone outside Qingxi Bookstore.
Shengjia is here, as the prince, he has no will, and he can't force his way in. He can only make the little eunuch pass the message to Wei Zhu.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zhu was no longer in front of the imperial court.
Ask other questions, but the little eunuch refused to say a word.
Brother Sixteen looked at the lights in Qingxi Bookstore, and felt his eyelids jumping endlessly.
The north wind howled, thick clouds covered the moon in the sky, and snowflakes fluttered profusely.The snowflakes hit his face and fell on his neck, making him shiver...
*
Old Summer Palace, Fu Le Hall.
The fourth elder brother is still silent, since the thirteenth elder brother arrived, he has been silent for two hours.
On this day, Elder Brother Thirteen was kneeling and bleeding again, and after a busy day, he hadn't had any rice water, so he was sitting on a chair, haggard.
It's just that he was thinking about his own thoughts, and he didn't even care about the hunger in his stomach.Although he is anxious, there are some things that even his own brothers cannot make decisions on his behalf. Brother Thirteen can only wait.
If an outsider enters the house at this time, they must be surprised, because besides the four princes and the thirteenth princes, there is also Wei Zhu, the eunuch who was in charge of the imperial court.
The thirteenth elder brother could survive, but Wei Zhu couldn't bear it.
He was ordered to go to the Qinghe camp together with the fifteenth elder brother, and he has been out for more than three hours so far.
If the emperor took the medicine and fell asleep, it would be fine, and when the two masters figured out a way, maybe he could fool him when he went back; if the emperor didn't sleep, and he had been out for more than three hours and hadn't returned to the garden, it would be unreasonable.
He was hungry and anxious, but he didn't dare to urge the fourth elder brother, and he was able to wink at the thirteenth elder brother fiercely.
The thirteenth elder brother glanced at the clock on the ground, and said: "Fourth brother, if Huang Ama doesn't wait for the news, maybe he will send someone out again."
On the face of the fourth elder brother, there was no longing, no excitement, only deep exhaustion.
Finally got to this point!
He sighed deeply, stood up, looked at the thirteenth elder brother and said: "Thirteenth brother... until now, nothing is what I want. It's just that there is no turning back. I'm afraid, this time I have to beg On the head of the thirteenth brother."
The thirteenth elder brother got up and said: "Fourth brother is in trouble, and younger brother knows it. If there is something, fourth brother can just tell, younger brother is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse, and he will die!"
The fourth elder brother looked at him, his gaze gradually turned resolute.
There was silence in the room, and it took half a cup of tea before I heard the fourth elder brother say in a deep voice: "In that case, please invite the thirteenth brother to go to the Qinghe camp and take the military power of the Three Banners into your hands!"
The thirteenth elder brother couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard the words.
The Qinghe camp was stationed in the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner, and Zhengbai Banner three Beijing camps, which were led by the emperor himself.
If he mastered the Three Banners military affairs of Qinghe Daying Camp, that would be great.
If the thirteenth elder brother has the heart of disobedience, with the help of the Three Banners military affairs, he can also deal with Longkodo one or two times.
After all, in terms of status, Longkodo is only the guardian of Gyeonggi, and the three banners and three battalions are the real emperor's pro-army.
The fourth elder brother is now in the potential to leap into the sky, and he can rest assured that the thirteenth elder brother will take over the Qinghe camp, which shows his trust.
I am afraid that if it is changed to Longkodo, the fourth elder brother will not be at ease.
"Fourth brother...I...I..." The thirteenth elder brother looked at the fourth elder brother with a little excitement.
For the fourth elder brother, he was not without guilt.
The fourth elder brother has protected him for many years and has always been confidant to him, but the thirteenth elder brother has kept the matter of taking over "Blue Eyes" a secret.Although it was not malicious, it lost its honesty in the end.
Unexpectedly, at the most critical moment in the fourth elder brother's life, he trusted the thirteenth elder brother so without hesitation.
"My younger brother will definitely live up to the entrustment of my fourth brother!" The thirteenth elder brother suppressed his excitement, turned around and said to Wei Zhu: "Boss, let's go!"
At this moment, it is Haizheng (ten o'clock in the evening).
With an empty stomach, Wei Zhu followed Thirteenth Brother out of Changchun Garden with a bit of apprehension.
Is this taking over the big camp as simple as lip service?Even if they have the trump card in their hands, Wei Zhu, the chief executive, and the "manuscript" with the seal, their future is uncertain.
Because Kangxi was unable to write and Zhao Chang was not around, this "hand letter" was written by the fifteenth elder brother.
If it were someone else, who wasn't familiar with Kangxi's handwriting, maybe they wouldn't cause trouble, but the newly appointed Dutong with the Yellow Banner is Twelve Elder Brothers.
As an elder brother of the prince, how could he not be familiar with Kangxi's handwriting?
The thirteenth elder brother was much calmer, and calmly left the Old Summer Palace, got on his horse and walked.
Wei Zhu originally thought that the fourth elder brother would send people to accompany him, but he didn't expect it to be.He and the thirteenth elder brother, still taking several guards and long followers of the thirteenth elder brother, went to the Qinghe camp.
Because the dark clouds cover the moon and the north wind howls, it is difficult to see things.
Even if the leading guard held up a wind lantern, it was just a little bit of light in front of his eyes.
After such a difficult journey, it was already Chouchu (one o'clock in the morning) when everyone arrived at Fengtai Daying.
The thirteenth elder brother rode his horse and stood in front of the big camp, squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and then said: "Let's go to Zhengbaiqi first..."
*
Changchun Garden, Qingxi Bookstore.
Kangxi sat leaning on the kang, and on the small table at hand, there was a small blue and white bowl, which contained the medicinal juice that had already cooled down.
He stared at the clock on the ground, but he couldn't see clearly.
"Come on..." He wanted to shout, but all he could say was "uh uh".Fortunately, the little eunuch on duty at night was clever. Hearing the movement, he bowed forward and said, "Your Majesty's master?"
Kangxi used a lot of strength to raise his arm and pointed to the clock on the table under the window.
The little eunuch looked along Kangxi's arm, passed the square table's bile bottle and coral table screen, and finally confirmed that it was on the clock, and carefully replied: "My lord, it's the second quarter of Maochu (05:30 in the morning) .”
Kangxi looked straight at the clock, as if he couldn't believe it.
This little eunuch is Wei Zhu's apprentice Sun Changqing, and he is also very clever.Seeing Kangxi like this, he stomped back to the window, carried the clock to the side of the kang, raised his hands high, and sent it to Kangxi.
At such a short distance, even Kangxi's old eyes are dim, but he can see clearly, it is Maochu.
His face was getting paler and his eyes were getting redder.
At this moment, if he still doesn't know what his situation is, then he has been emperor for more than 60 years in vain.
He swallowed, moistened his swollen throat that could hardly make a sound, and slowly asked, "Which elder brothers...in the garden..."
Chang Qing was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
It should be asking, which elder brother is not in the garden?The emperor is sick, and the elder brother who has no errands will naturally have to wait on the sick.
"Except for the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother, the other prince elder brothers are all in the garden." Chang Qing thought about it and replied.
Only then did Kangxi understand why Brother Thirteen wanted to prevent him from making other arrangements.
The prince and elder brother are all in Changchun Garden, and Long Kedo's infantry is not vegetarian.Since they have planned so far, there must be disloyal people among the Changchun Garden garrison.
If the matter drags on, it is not the fourth elder brother who needs to be on guard the most, but Longkodo.
If he continues to be "unreconciled", the situation of Aixinjueluo's family will be in danger.
Before this, Kangxi originally thought of several ways to make the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother turn against each other.The pride of the emperor made him unable to tolerate betrayal, even if it was his son, his pride could not tolerate it.
Then, at this moment, his mood is not important anymore.
The important thing is that he believed in the wrong person and handed over one-third of the people in Gyeonggi to Longkodo.
Behind Longkodo, there is the Tong family known as "Tong Banchao", a family with two fathers.
Since he is quite ambitious, he has betrayed his trust for decades in order to be greedy and support the world; there is no guarantee that he will not become mad and have other thoughts.
Kangxi couldn't hold it any longer, closed his eyes, and lost consciousness...
*
In the Qinghe camp in the early morning, the sound of soldiers practicing can be heard from the school grounds.
The north wind has stopped, the snow has settled, the sky is as blue as washing, and the golden wheel in the east is just rising, glowing red.
Having such a sunny day in the cold winter makes the soldiers on drill feel better, and the voices of everyone chanting are much brighter.
Everything seemed to be the same as before, nothing different.There were only a few careful participants who found that Du Tong and Deputy Du Tong didn't show up today.
However, no one thought much about it. Everyone knew that the new capital had just taken office these few days.
The newcomers are all yellow belts, and they are used to enjoying themselves in the city. It is understandable that they can't get up in the morning when they first arrive at the barracks.Du Tong didn't show his face, so in order to avoid the boss's edge, the deputy Du Tong naturally had to avoid it.
What they didn't know was that except for Dutong of Xiangbai Banner who had asked for leave for the past two days and did not return to the camp, the other Dutong and Deputy Dutong were all in the official office of Dutong of Xianghuang Banner.
It is said to be the government office, but it is just five barracks in the northwest of Xianghuang Banner.
The Eight Banners are established, each banner is unified, and the deputy capital is unified.
In Qinghe Daying camp, there should be a total of three governors and six deputy governors.
However, at this moment, in front of Elder Brother Thirteen, there are only two Dutongs and three Vice Dutongs, and the other three Vice Dutongs have already turned into corpses, helping them to the ground.
Their deaths were not "from unknown teachers", but they were beheaded on the charge of "colluding with internal ministers and having ulterior motives".
Others were "ordered" to stay at the Qinghe camp, waiting for the "emperor's order"...
Unexpectedly, this stay lasted for a whole day and night.
It wasn't until Chouzheng on the thirteenth day (two o'clock in the morning) that the servants came to the camp to pass the decree, and asked the twelfth and thirteenth elder brothers to meet in Changchun Garden.
During this whole day and night, the twelfth elder brother didn't say a word to the thirteenth elder brother.
That night, he was woken up by Elder Brother Thirteen and Wei Zhu in bed.
Just when he was in a daze, a steel knife was stuffed in his hand, and then with the "assistance" of Brother Thirteen, he beheaded the deputy capital with the yellow flag.
This vice-dutong was born in a wealthy Manchurian family. He worked as a bodyguard in front of the imperial court in his early years, and has always been relied on by Kangxi. He can be called the emperor's confidant.
The twelfth elder brother was still ignorant at the time, and really thought that the thirteenth elder brother was acting "by order".Afterwards, he found that the thirteenth elder brother had already taken control of the Qinghe camp, so he realized that something was wrong.
But there is no place to buy regret medicine, he committed such a disaster, even if he went to the imperial court, he would not be able to pick it off.
He has been careful all these years, for fear of being burdened with the slightest right and wrong. He really doesn't understand why the thirteenth elder brother, who usually looks at being kind to others, is so calculating about himself.
I don't know if the thirteenth elder brother felt wronged, but he was also silent all the way, and didn't take the initiative to say anything.
When the two brothers arrived at Qingxi Bookstore, it was already brightly lit.Not only the third elder brother, seventh elder brother and others are there, but also a few younger elder brothers.Apart from the prince elder brother, the only outsider waiting to see him is the nine-door admiral Longkodo.
After a short time, some servants came out to preach the decree and pass it on to the audience.
Because of the limited space in the inner room where Kangxi lived, only a few elder brothers and Longkodo were sent to the imperial couch, and the younger elder brothers below the sixteenth elder brother knelt outside the curtain.
Kangxi turned his face sideways, and his eyes fell directly on Longkodo.
Although Longkodo leaned over to the ground, he seemed to be aware of Kangxi's gaze.His body froze, he didn't raise his head, he just pressed his neck lower and knocked his forehead on the gold brick.
Kangxi let out a long breath, and swallowed the words that had come to his lips.
His gaze moved away and swept over every prince elder brother.These were his sons, sons he had been proud of, sons he had hated and cursed.
Brother San's braids are black, it looks like he has dyed his hair.A few years ago, he had paid tribute to dyes, but Kangxi didn't use them.I just hope that he cherishes his feathers as much as he cherishes his own hair, and be a clan prince in peace.
Seventh elder brother's body is stooped, compared with third elder brother, he looks much older.This son has been worrying too much since he was a child, and he has gray hair in his early twenties.It is said that one can be strong without desire, because of his physical disability and his mother's invisibility, he is doomed to have no fate with the dragon chair, so he should have lived more comfortably.But as a prince, with so many powerful brothers, he had to think hard and step by step, just to protect himself.
Brother Nine is too feminine, and his behavior is too extreme.Kangxi hates and loves this son at the same time. What he hates is that he is not in good shape, without the stability and progress of the prince's elder brother; Some straight people.It's just that he is the emperor's father, so he can bear such a son; can that person bear it?
Kangxi's eyes dimmed, and he turned to Elder Brother Nine next to Elder Brother Nine.
This son is rough on the outside and clever on the inside, and he is as wise as a fool.Even if they were involved in the battle for the heir apparent, they were subordinates, not on the cusp of the storm.Plus there is a prominent mother clan, no matter who comes to power, it shouldn't be too difficult for him.
Elder Brother Twelve... still shrinks back and forth, with a bit of timidity and a bit of pettiness, which makes people only sigh.That's fine, such cowardice will never hinder the eyes of others.
Thirteen elder brothers...
Thirteen elder brothers...
Kangxi's eyes did not know where to go, and his voice was calm and clear: "The fourth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, has a noble character and is deeply respected by me. He will surely inherit the great order and succeed me to the throne, that is, the emperor's throne!"
This sentence, like a thunderbolt, shocked all the princes and elder brothers.
Even though no one dared to make a noise in front of the imperial court, but you look at me and I look at you with incredible expressions on your face.
Brother Nine took two steps on his knees and wanted to speak, but Brother Ten pulled him out and gagged his mouth.
Kangxi didn't speak any more, but waved his hand lightly, motioning everyone to back down.
Brother Nine was still struggling, but Brother Ten held him tightly.He has a fat body, but Elder Brother Ten has thin bones, so it is very difficult to pull him.
The thirteenth elder brother saw this, walked to the other side of the ninth elder brother, and together with the tenth elder brother, drove the ninth elder brother out.
At this moment, the 21th elder brother and the 22th elder brother also retreated outside the study with the 24th, [-]st, [-]nd, and [-]th elder brothers.
No one said anything, everyone was silent, not knowing what to do next.
What does the emperor mean, to set up the crown prince in front of them?But where is the prince?
If it is a "last order", then should they be preparing to support the fourth elder brother to ascend the throne and kowtow to the fourth elder brother as a "monarch and minister": if it is not a "last order", they have to continue to stay here and do their best. The responsibility is to send the emperor to his death.
Brother Nine struggled to break free, knocked off Brother Ten's hand, and said angrily, "Why stop me? I'll ask Ama Huang to ask if he has been fooled... woo woo..." He didn't say anything After finishing, Elder Brother Shi covered his mouth again.
"Ninth Brother, please be careful with your words!" Tenth Brother's face was a bit solemn, and he looked at Ninth Brother with a little comfort and concern in his eyes.
Ninth elder brother snorted coldly, looked at the brothers in front of him, and happened to meet the third elder brother who was sizing him up.
Brother Nine twitched the corner of his mouth and stopped talking.
While everyone was not paying attention, the thirteenth elder brother approached Longkodo and asked in a low voice, "When will the fourth brother come?"
"One hour ago, the emperor sent people to the southern suburbs to pass on the fourth elder brother." Long Kedo replied softly.
Brother Thirteen couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
Changchun Garden is about [-] miles away from Nanjiao Zhaisuo, and this is another late night journey.Besides, the situation is so urgent, how can the fourth elder brother rest assured that he is in the fasting place, most of them are originally in the Old Summer Palace.
Now that he knew that there was an imperial envoy to deliver the decree, he had to go to the southern suburbs overnight to receive the decree there.
After all this tossing, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Changchun Garden for a while.
Fortunately, the tenth elder brother persuaded and suppressed the ninth elder brother who wanted to make trouble; although the third elder brother was also dissatisfied, he always cherished his reputation and did not dare to say anything on the charge of disobedience.
Kangxi has become an unstoppable trend. After discussing with everyone, the sixteenth elder brother moved him to Qingxi Bookstore to sleep.
Except for the young 24-year-old brother, who is only seven years old and has no worries, he has already fallen asleep in the arms of the [-]-year-old brother; the other princes and brothers are all weighed down by the words "end of life", and their hearts are heavy .Even Brother Nine, who was full of resentment, didn't move any more, just staring outside the bedroom.
From Yinshi to dawn, from dawn to Sichu (nine o'clock in the morning), just a few hours, to everyone, it seems like a few days.
Fourth brother, finally here.
He came rushing forward, without his usual steadiness, leaving a series of footsteps in a "deng deng", ignoring to say hello to the brothers who were guarding outside, he rushed directly into Kangxi's bedroom.
Everyone looked at his disappearing back with different expressions.
Everyone knows that maybe from today onwards, the brothers will be different, they will lose a royal brother or brother, and have a new prince.
This day is getting longer and longer.
Except for the fourth elder brother who went to the dormitory three times to say hello, no one was called.
Apart from entering the dormitory to say hello, at other times, the fourth elder brother, like everyone else, is waiting to see you in the dormitory.
To put it nicely, it is "see you", the big guys know it well, but they are just waiting for the emperor's father to "bin Tian".
Kangxi had fallen into a coma, and the imperial physician went into the bedroom to ask for a pulse every half an hour.
At the beginning of Xu (nine o'clock in the evening), a generation of emperors, Emperor Kangxi, collapsed!
