Prince of the Qing Dynasty

Kangxi was in the camp looking at the design drawings of the Changchun Garden presented by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, when he suddenly heard Liang Jiugong say that the elder brother came to pay his respects, Kangxi was a little puzzled: "At this hour, why is he coming to pay his respects?"

Liang Jiugong said: "Your Majesty, although it is dark now, the summer heat has not subsided yet. Eldest elder brother came all the way from the palace and is waiting outside sweating profusely. If the Emperor wants to know After all, why don’t you call Big Brother in to talk?”

"Well, go and ask him to come in, and ask someone to make him a bowl of iced lotus seed porridge." Kangxi became more and more puzzled, the weather was so hot, and he didn't know what the elder brother was doing here.

Yinti came all the way from the palace to Yuquan Mountain. He was tired and thirsty from the rush. After sitting down, Kangxi ordered someone to bring him a bowl of iced lotus seed porridge. Yinti was not polite to Kangxi. After thanking Kangxi, It was eaten after a few bites.

Kangxi looked at the contented look of the eldest son after eating, and felt that the eldest son was worthless.Liang Jiugong saw Yinti's appearance from the side, and he was amused in his heart. He glanced at Kangxi and asked Yinti, "Brother, you have worked hard all the way here, or can I get another bowl for you?"

After hearing Liang Jiugong's words, Yinti looked at the porcelain bowl that was smaller than his slap, and thought in his heart that this bowl of lotus seed porridge was not enough to satisfy his appetite at all, but he really wanted another bowl Come and drink.

But before Yinti could speak, it was Kangxi who spoke first: "When you come here at this hour, you can't just beg me for a bowl of lotus seed porridge, right? Is there any demand in the palace? Do I want porridge?"

After hearing this, Yinti knew that he could not drink any more, so he hurriedly resigned from Liang Jiugong, and then smiled at Kangxi: "What Huang Ama said is true. My son is here, besides paying respects to Huang Ama, there is one more thing I need to come and talk to Huang Ama personally, otherwise my son really has a bad conscience, and after my son finishes talking, I will ask Huang Ama to go back to the palace to decide on how to deal with this matter."

Kangxi took a look at Yinti, and went back to study his pattern before sitting in front of the case. While looking at it, he said casually: "I will go back tomorrow. Is there anything else in the palace that is worth your rush to come here?" Tell me?"

Yinti replied: "Going back to Huang Ama, it was my son who heard from Changquan that he saw Yinzhi reading Zhu Fangdan's book. Huang Ama, I heard that this Zhu Fangdan is the demon that Huang Ama ordered to kill , his book has also been listed as a banned book, but Yinzhi got the book from nowhere and was secretly reading it. Changquan also told his son that he saw Yinzhi secretly took the book and ran to Yuqing Palace Now, maybe I was reading it with the prince. My son heard that the prince had just left the palace and went to Mr. Suo’s mansion. The son guessed that after reading the book, the prince must have thought of saving Zhu Fangdan, so he ran away. I went to discuss with Mr. Suo. Moreover, according to what my son thinks, it must be Yinzhi who read the book and begged the prince to save Zhu Fangdan!"

Hearing this, Kangxi raised his head and glanced at Yinti: "You said that the prince went to Suo'etu for Zhu Fangdan's matter is your guess, so why don't you go to find out the situation before you come to talk to me? You just said you have something to do Tell me, is this the case? You have said a lot of what you think and guessed here. What do you mean, you want me to check the facts based on your guesses after returning to the palace, and you want me to do errands for you? "

"Yinzhi read Zhu Fangdan's book, and Yinzhi took the book to find the prince. The two of them read this book together. You saw it with your own eyes? You didn't see it with your own eyes, and you came to me and said what! You are not old, how can you love me? Learn to talk like a woman!"

After Yinti heard this, he was afraid that Kangxi would not believe him, and seeing Kangxi's attitude, he was afraid that the matter would be nothing, so he gritted his teeth and said simply: "Huang Ama, my son didn't see it with his own eyes, but this is all Chang Quan saw it with his own eyes! Changquan would never lie to his son! If you don’t believe your son, you should believe Changquan, right?”

"Why should I trust him?"

Yinti refused to give up, which made Kangxi a little unhappy, "Don't think that I don't know, Prince Yu's mansion is old with Zhu Fangdan, and it's not surprising that there are Zhu Fangdan's books in Changquan. Third elder brother also Xiao, even if he loves to read, no one will show him Zhu Fangdan's books. He spends his days in the study room, unable to finish the homework assigned by his master, let alone go to find such books! Always in the study with Changquan and you, Changquan gave him the book if it is not complete. But you come to me and say, how do you make me believe Changquan's words?"

Yinti was secretly startled, he didn't expect that what Kangxi said actually matched the facts.

He naturally refused to admit it, and still pretended to be confused: "Huang Ama, this son doesn't know. The son told Huang Ama these things, but he was a little worried, afraid that something would happen to the crown prince and Yinzhi."

"Are you still worried?" Kangxi sneered, "Well, why did Changquan give the book to Yinzhi? My guess is that you came up with the idea? Changquan is the elder brother of Prince Yu's mansion, who dares to order him What about him? He is always on good terms with you. If you hadn’t told me, would he have dared to take out this book? Even if this is not the case, I have wronged you, and this matter probably has nothing to do with you!”

When Kangxi saw Yinti standing there with his hands down, he became angry, pointed at Yinti and cursed: "Even if the crown prince and Yinzhi really read Zhu Fangdan's book and really discussed to rescue Zhu Fangdan, you, the eldest brother, not only stand by and watch , and even ran to me to complain, what do you want to do? Do you want me to scold them or beat them? Is it because they have suffered, and you feel happy?"

"I have already said that you are the eldest son of the emperor, and you are the eldest brother. If your younger brothers do something wrong, you should put education first, and you should tell them about some things, but you What? Not only did you not clarify the matter, but you even came to me to fan the dark wind and light the will-o’-the-wisps, you are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, you!"

The more Kangxi said, the more angry he became: "You were like this a few years ago. I have already told you about it, and I expected you to repent. But I didn't expect that after these years, you are still the same! I know that you and the crown prince are not good. But the crown prince has treated you very well these past few years. He hasn't tripped you up. Why do you insist on making things difficult for him? The last thing I want to see is the matter of brothers fighting against the wall. Are there few examples like this in the past dynasties! "

Yinti didn't expect that he came to sue, but was scolded bloody instead.

He was very excited when he came here, but now he was scolded by Kangxi, Yinti's excited heart suddenly withered, and he was very depressed, what's going on!

Yinti was ashamed, anxious and angry, and immediately knelt down to confess his loyalty: "Ama Huang, my son never dared to think like this! My son is really worried. After my son got the news, he didn't even have time to verify it, so he came to invite Huang Ama Ma is in charge, so Huang Ama should stop scolding him for the sake of his son's innocence, right?"

"Are you still a child?" Kangxi stared and said, "I see you are ignorant and naive, ignorant and incompetent!"

"Do you know why I called Zhang Ying here today? I came here to check your homework! Zhang Ying said, you and Changquan's homework is not good. The homework assigned in the past few days, the recitation is good, but the meaning is not good. Datong! I don’t understand. You and the prince are only two years apart. How come the prince is better at learning than you now? The prince knows everything you don’t know! I see, you are thinking Instead of studying, I just think about harming others!"

Kangxi's words were very important to Yinti.

Yinti was scolded for the second time, and the impact didn't decrease much. It was still the same as in several years. Being scolded made his heart beat fast, his face turned red and hot, and he almost wanted to pass over on the spot!

Kangxi saw that his eldest son was scolded and cried by himself, and he knelt there to plead guilty. He also felt sorry, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, get up! Go back, spend more time on homework, you shouldn't bother." Don't meddle in the matter, I won't keep you."

If the eldest son stayed any longer, Kangxi was afraid that he would not be able to bear the anger again, and would scold the eldest son again.After all, he was also his eldest son, who scolded him a lot, seeing him crying so aggrieved, Kangxi felt distressed when he saw him.

Yinti didn't dare to stay any longer, lost the mood he had when he came here, knelt down to Kangxi in frustration, left Yuquan Mountain, and went back to the palace full of grievances and regrets.

Liang Jiugong watched Yinti leave, and then turned back. Seeing Kangxi sitting in front of the case and sighing, he persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. The elder brother may be really anxious, so he came to find him when he got the news. The emperor is now, or he is too young to feel that he can't make decisions! The emperor has to relax a bit, this is to relax, if you worry about these things again, it will be bad!"

"He's in a hurry? Yes, he's in a hurry," Kangxi squinted his eyes and sighed, "He's so young, so impatient, so anxious, can't he be satisfied by being my eldest son? Is it his own idea that he came today? Or who taught him? Is it Concubine Hui? Or Mingzhu?"

Kangxi seemed to be speaking to himself, but Liang Jiugong heard it clearly, but he didn't dare to answer, he just said: "It's getting late, master calm down and settle down. These things, Just think about it tomorrow.”

"Meditation? I'm afraid it's hard to be quiet," Kangxi lost the mood to look at the drawings of Changchun Garden, and asked Liang Jiugong to put away the drawings. Watching Liang Jiugong collect the drawings, Kangxi asked, "Who is the person sent by the prince?" Did it say that the prince left the palace and went to Suo'etu?"

Liang Jiugong nodded and said: "Back to the emperor, the people sent by the crown prince said so."

Kangxi asked again: "Do you know what the prince is doing at Suo'etu's place?"

"Go back to the emperor," Liang Jiugong said, "this servant has already found out. The crown prince and Lord Suo did meet Zhu Fangdan in the prison, but the reason is still unclear. If the emperor orders the servant to inquire more carefully , this servant will send someone to investigate."

Hearing this, Kangxi sat for a while without saying a word, then waved his hands and said: "No need. I will go back to the palace tomorrow, so I don't need to inquire now. It will be another trouble to disturb the irrelevant people. However, you have to replace me Quietly ordered that the crown prince and Suo'etu go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to watch Zhu Fangdan's affairs. Don't leak the news, and don't let others know about it. I will handle this matter myself."

Kangxi lowered his eyes and covered his deep thought. He believed that Yinreng had his own reasons for going to see Zhu Fangdan. No matter what the inside story was, it would definitely not be like what Yinti said, that Yinreng went to save Zhu Fangdan. of.
