Prince Heng [Qing wear]

The next day was the Great Court Meeting, and Kangxi ordered the kings and ministers to submit the papers with the candidate candidates in their minds, and asked Zhang Yanyu to classify them on the spot and explain the results.

Kangxi originally thought that what Li Guangdi said to him yesterday - that many government officials would choose the eighth elder brother as the prince - was just a temporary joke. The minister would be so ignorant to choose the eighth elder brother as the prince.But Zhang Yanyu's statistical results were far beyond Kangxi's expectations.

The eighth elder brother had the most votes, and the remaining three, fourth, and fifth elder brothers had only a few scattered votes. Li Guangdi finally voted for the fifth elder brother.

It would be fine to say that the selection of the eighth elder brother is just a small official, but in fact, the eighth elder brother is recommended by all the important ministers in the court, accounting for almost half of the court.The son of Taishi Ye Bilong, the younger brother of Empress Xiaozhaoren and Concubine Wen Xi, and the brother-in-law of Concubine De - A Ling'a, he neither chose his nephew Tenth brother who was related to him by blood, nor his wife and sister Concubine De The fourth elder brother, the sixth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, you must know that these four elder brothers are all the nephews of Ah Ling in terms of etiquette.This little brother-in-law actually chose the eighth elder brother who had nothing to do with him, how could he not make Kangxi suspicious and angry.How many ministers did this evil son get to know in court!

Erlundai, Kangxi's cousin, his aunt is Kangxi's biological mother, Empress Xiaokangzhang, and his cousin is the fourth elder brother's adoptive mother, Empress Xiaoyiren. There is also a noble concubine of the Tong Jia family in charge of official affairs in the palace.It is really unexpected that such a relative of the royal family would choose the eighth elder brother.

Nalan Kuixu, Minister of Industry, Mingzhu's second son, and Nalan Rongruo's younger brother; Minister of Industry Wang Hongxu, Kangxi's confidant minister, Kangxi personally ordered him to major in Ming history, and he trusted him a lot...

Kangxi looked at Shi Yangui's statistics of the names of the many important court ministers who supported the eighth elder brother, and felt chills in his heart.

Yinhu, when did he win over so many people?Even if he allowed Baocheng and Baoqing to fight in the court, they would not be able to win over his confidant ministers.Is this court still his court?

Since Zhang Yanyu announced the result of the selection of the prince, the hall fell into a dead silence.The ministers all subtly sensed something was wrong, and there must be too many people who chose the eighth elder brother.

The fifth elder brother looked at the excited faces of Ma Qi and the others, and felt sad.It turns out that these old ministers who have always been cautious will also be dazzled by power and do such unwise things.Besides, Khan Ama had issued a verbal order telling Ma Qi not to participate in this matter, but unexpectedly he voluntarily jumped into the vortex of power.

Seeing that no one spoke, Ma Qi took the lead: "Your Majesty, more than half of the ministers in the court have elected the eighth elder brother as the crown prince. It can be seen that the eighth elder brother is what everyone expects. I hope the emperor can make a decision as soon as possible and make the eighth elder brother the crown prince as soon as possible." Prince."

Kangxi didn't pay attention to Ma Qi's words, but instead looked at several grown elder brothers: "What's your opinion? You also support Aixinjueluo Yinhu as the crown prince? Xiao Wu, why are you so dazed? Tell me first."

The fifth elder brother came back to his senses from his contemplation, went out to salute Kangxi, and said: "The matter of the crown prince is of great importance, and I dare not speak out. It's just that the second elder brother has been working hard for the past few years and has not had any bad deeds. Only this year because of He made a big mistake because of the nightmare curse. Now that the second elder brother is well and the conditions in the Xian'an Palace are difficult, I implore Khan Ama to withdraw his order and let the second elder brother move to other palaces temporarily."

"My son will reconsider." The fourth elder brother came out and knelt down together.

The next six, seven, and eleven, the three young elder brothers, saw that their acquainted elder brothers all pleaded for mercy for the deposed prince, so they also came out and knelt down.Although I don't know why the fifth brother did what he did, but this matter has nothing to do with the selection of the prince, and it can reflect brotherly love, so they just follow suit.

After these elder brothers went out, only the third elder brother, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother were left in the team.Brother facing upwards stands according to age.The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother got closer, but the third elder brother was alone, so he had to lean towards Prince Kang, trying not to let Han Ama notice him.

Ninth elder brother winked at tenth elder brother, but tenth elder brother didn't understand at all.Their relationship with the starlings is not bad, and the release of the deposed prince will add more variables to the selection of the prince, and they really don't want to come out.But fortunately, Kangxi didn't care about the opinions of these two children.

Hearing what the Fifth Elder Brother said, he couldn't help but burst into tears: "I dreamed about Empress Xiaozhuang Wen and Empress Xiaochengren before, the emperor's grandmother was very unhappy with me, and Empress Xiaochengren shed tears on me. Ever since I dreamed of the two queens, I have been anxious all day long. The second elder brother Yinfeng is a child raised by me alone. He is smart and sensible since he was a child. But he got a strange disease, fortunately God blesses him, and now he is well. I really can't bear to treat Yinfeng!"

The emperor made it so clear that he almost didn't directly say the matter of restoring the crown prince.What about the ministers in the palace?I can only be submissive, shouting "Long live the Holy Spirit."

Kangxi is very satisfied with this result, and then he should deal with the matter of so many people in the court and the middle to choose the eighth elder brother.He ordered Prince Kang Chuntai to take Ma Qi and others into custody and hand them over to the eighth elder brother who was still imprisoned in the mansion, and thoroughly investigated the matter of recommending the eighth elder brother, and announced his withdrawal from the court.

Several elder brothers walked out of the court after the ministers were all gone.The third elder brother walked over and put his arms around the fifth elder brother's shoulder, and said with a soft smile, "Little Wu, you are not kind. Why didn't you tell your third elder brother if there is any news?"

The fifth elder brother swept the arm that was on his shoulder, and looked at the third elder brother seriously: "The third elder brother misunderstood, I just do things based on my heart. As for the other things, I don't know. I’m going to Ningshou Palace to greet Ermogeerji, do you want to go with the third brother?”

The third elder brother sneered: "No need, I have to go back to the mansion first, Xiao Wu will ask the queen mother for me, please."

Several elder brothers and fifth elder brothers parted ways in the palace.The fifth elder brother asked the eleventh elder brother: "Your sister-in-law's uncle sent several baskets of well-preserved navel oranges from Shandong, and I have ordered someone to deliver them to your house. Remember to eat one every day. Take it easy. Don't be childish, remember to eat."

"I see, Fifth Brother." Eleventh Brother nodded, "I am no longer a child, Fifth Brother, don't worry."

Fifth elder brother wanted to pat eleventh elder brother on the head, only to realize that he had married Fujin and was an adult, so he patted eleventh elder brother on the shoulder.The fifth elder brother turned to look at the ninth elder brother who was on the side: "Xiao Jiu, don't run around after sending eleven back later, and stay in the mansion for me."

Brother Nine snorted, and reluctantly said: "I know, Fifth Brother." Myna was imprisoned in the mansion by Khan Ama because of Zhang Mingde's case before, and this time he lost his position as crown prince again. Must be in a bad mood.Originally, he wanted to go and see the Starling's house, but after Fifth Brother said that, he couldn't go again.It's just that since fifth brother said so, he will definitely order people to watch him.He still doesn't want to challenge Fifth Brother's authority, he is already an Ama, and it would be too embarrassing to be beaten by Fifth Brother.

The fifth elder brother turned around and went to Ningshou Palace, but met Kangxi there.

The fifth elder brother greeted the two elders; "Yinqi greets Emege Erji, and Khan Ama."

After the three of them drank tea and chattered, the queen mother took the initiative to say: "Xiao Wu will accompany the emperor to stroll in the imperial garden. I heard that early plum blossoms have already bloomed in the plum garden. They stand there alone, and it is pitiful that no one appreciates them." .”

The fifth elder brother had no choice but to accompany Kangxi to stroll slowly all the way to the plum garden.

"Khan Ama—"

"What's the matter? What does our little five want to say to Han Ama?" Kangxi was smiling at this time, like an ordinary and kind old man.

The fifth elder brother hesitated for a moment, swallowed the words in his mouth again, and said: "Although this winter is not too cold, the temperature has dropped after all. Khan Ama must take care of himself, and don't worry about it again." Worry about these chores. The little brothers below have grown up too, if Khan Ama has any chores, just let these boys handle them."

Kangxi smiled and said, "I've left everything to those boys, so what are you guys going to do? Just stay in the mansion?"

"I used to help my second elder brother with work. I was so busy all day long that I didn't even have the time to steal half a day's leisure. The two boys in the family are no longer close to my son, and their mother-in-law is also busy with the new The production of grain seeds increased again, and the two children had to be handed over to the invited husband to discipline them. As a parent, how could you not want your children to get close to you? My son, as a two-child Ama, realized that Khan Ah Ma has put in so much effort for our brothers. Khan Ama really worked hard."

What the fifth elder brother said made Kangxi feel extremely ironic, and he still thought he was a good Ama.Although being an emperor, he has to be busy with government affairs, but every time he is free, he also goes to the Minister's study to check the homework of several elder brothers in person.For the older elder brothers, he thought he did his best.As for the little ones, he didn't discipline them much for so many things that happened in the past few years, and it was compensation for the little ones to find something to do.

There is a small pavilion in the middle of the plum garden, and Kangxi ordered people to rest here for a while and serve refreshments.

"Speaking of which, there are still only two children in your family, which is too few. You are still young now, if you meet someone you like, you might as well go back to your house and add a few younger siblings to the glutinous rice balls and dumplings." Kangxi said .

The fifth elder brother has already experienced and practiced, and he has already developed a strategy to deal with these words.He picked up a piece of dim sum with chopsticks, put it on the small plate in front of Kangxi, and said, "Khan Ama, try this kind of dim sum, it should be a new dish from the Imperial Dining Room. It's sweet but not greasy. My son thinks it's pretty good." ..."

Kangxi glared at the fifth elder brother, and the fifth elder brother stopped talking about him: "These two boys in the house are enough to give me a headache. If there are more, my son's hair will be bald." The two boys of mine have grown up, and my son only wants to watch them get married and have children in peace."

Kangxi knew about this son's temper, so he didn't mention it again.Among these elder brothers, if you count carefully, Xiao Wu's heirs can actually be in the middle of nowhere, which makes people feel sad.

The father and son didn't care about government affairs, just chatted about family matters, and passed the afternoon peacefully like this. Even lunch was nothing more than some snacks to fill their stomachs.

When it was time for the palace to be locked, Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to send someone to send the fifth elder brother out of the palace, and then returned to Qianqing Palace by himself.

The conversation with the fifth elder brother this day, although he didn't say anything substantive, made Kangxi feel very comfortable.Xiao Wu, this child, has a bit of Buddha nature, and people love this child unconsciously.Also, who would not love someone who is pure and filial?
