starling is not a bird

Formal attire led the concubines to welcome the Emperor Kangxi. Concubine Yi's make-up was particularly exquisite, and she greeted her daily life generously and powerfully. She looked like a hostess, and everyone was convinced.The little beauties in Suzhou were held by the concubine Yi and praised from head to toe. The palace was also prepared, and the golden books were also available. Even the clothes of the four seasons and the maidservants were all ready-made. Kangxi was very satisfied, so he left it that night In Yifei's palace.

The prince who was brought back was locked up by Kangxi in Yuqing Palace for reflection. Even the princess was not allowed to see him, so he locked up his son. The first person summoned by Emperor Kangxi was Prince Yu. , was stopped by the empress dowager's people: "Please beg the prince for the prince, and the two fathers and sons have something to talk about!"

Prince Yu nodded with a smile: "Report to the Empress Dowager, I understand."

Kangxi took his elder brother's hand, forgetting his feelings for a moment, and the two lines of tears had already flowed down: "I never thought that I would choose Baocheng after a lot of hard work, and act recklessly like this. Unfortunately!"

The smile on Prince Yu's face suddenly cracked: What's the matter?Is there a rift in the close father-son relationship between my brother and nephew?So many people tried to mix sand between the two of them, did they finally succeed after so many years?

Trying to calm down, Prince Yu didn't dare to speak too harshly: "Your Majesty, you are too tired. We watched the prince grow up all these years, and you taught him yourself. How can it be like this? Could there be a villain causing trouble?"

Kangxi shook his head, and put away the tears on his face: "He has been rebellious all these years, and I have endured it all for his mother's sake. This child has lost his mother since he was a child, and I will not love him more. Do you love him? Let him take the lead in everything, and he is arbitrarily domineering on weekdays. With a big heart, it's going to turn upside down!"

Prince Yu is not a fool. He knows more about the behavior of the crown prince than Kangxi. In fact, it is normal to think about it. After being a reserve emperor for many years, he still has no hope of enthroning. The younger brothers are more capable than each other. Huang Ama's favor Gratitude is even more unreliable, the courtiers and relatives have their own thoughts.

If the prince is incapable of keeping his inheritance, the result will be miserable, but if the prince is too capable, the emperor will be the first to refuse.Now that the emperor has been in power for a long time, the prince's unpopularity has become more and more obvious. Those princes have tried their best to express themselves, holding power while doing errands, who is willing to let go?It can't be said that they twisted into a rope and dug the corner of the prince's wall together. Once the prince fell, it was naturally a fair time for competition.

The prince grew up like a star surrounded by stars, without the teaching of his mother, and now without the protection of his mother's family. Although his wife's family is strong, but his position is not high. Back then, the elder brother's defeat was too embarrassing, and the harem and court were still worried.However, in order to show his ability, the prince is always domineering and obedient. Compared with his wolf brothers and tiger brothers, he is really not enough.

The orthodox heir has such an embarrassment, the destiny belongs to him, he is not grateful to anyone, the old courtiers want to get a piece of support, stand up in front of the new emperor, the prince, the one who is not favored by others, let alone In the past dynasties, have there been fewer fallen princes?It's just man-made!

But in front of Kangxi, Prince Yu didn't intend to say a word. After the elder brother's perfunctory apology back then, Prince Yu had already recognized his family's position in Kangxi's heart. What about people?

: "Your Majesty, please be at ease, the child still needs to be taught, talk to the prince more, what can the two fathers and sons not say? The prince is looked up to by all people, the emperor should not be ignored!"

Kangxi snorted heavily: "That rebellious son, I'm afraid I'm sure I can't do anything to him, he's extremely arrogant!"

What Prince Yu wanted to say, Kangxi waved his hand: "I know, you are all afraid of him, he is a prince, who is not afraid that he will settle accounts after the fall, how many people help him cover in front of me, they would rather offend me than offend him! What's the point of me being the emperor?"

This topic is getting worse and worse. How could Prince Yu dare to continue, and tremblingly stretched out his hand to hold the emperor's dragon claw: "Old brother! You are so stubborn! Isn't this the Aixinjueluo family? The world? Why is it all up to him?"

Kangxi was weakly held by Prince Yu: "I know, old brother, you have been wronged. At the beginning he won over the people from the Imperial Academy. I endured it. He is the prince! Those people will be useful in the future, but his claws are too long. He's playing tricks right under my nose! He dared to move the courtiers' ideas for a little self-interest! I was afraid that his face would not be corrected, so I didn't say a word, only said that I would rebuild the Imperial Academy, move people far away, and avoid Let him go!"

Prince Yu nodded, expressing that he heard it. He looked at Kangxi with a sincere face, as if he really didn't know anything, and the mystery was only revealed today.

Kangxi smiled wryly: "At that time, the Imperial Academy was slow in repairing. I blamed you for discovering the decree. I know that it was the prince's people who were corrupt in the House of Internal Affairs and delayed the progress of the project. I protected my son and refused to speak out. I am wronged." Brother you!"

The more Prince Yu heard it, the more frightened he became. Such a secret is not good for the public to announce. Why did the two of them come up with something that they knew well today? What does the emperor mean by this?

: "Zhen Mi Zhe asked someone to investigate the matter, you know? That Mi Zhe was stopped halfway!" Kangxi hesitated for a long time, but he was still told what was most in his heart.

Prince Yu was terrified when he heard that, and hated how he had actively nourished himself some time ago. During this time, he didn't suffer from cold, cough, and old cold legs. Now he has no chance to find a cause to faint.

"He didn't even let go of the beauties around me. I have no intention of following those fatuous emperors who have separated the relationship between father and son because of women, but the crown prince is arrogant. How can I tolerate it?" The more Kangxi said, the more excited he became, his beard trembled. stop.What he couldn't say was that the crown prince actually uttered the truth he was most afraid of. Even the Ninth Five-Year Lord could not escape the word life and death. How could the crown prince say it so contemptuously?

Prince Yu regained his composure, let go of Kangxi's dragon claw, and put it on his shoulder instead: "Your Majesty, think twice! The crown prince is the heir apparent, and the punishment should not be too heavy. This time it will cause turmoil!"

Kangxi hesitated to say: "Old brother, do you think that if I pretend to abolish his crown prince, will he repent?"

Prince Yu was surprised: "Your Majesty, this, this, how can this be done?"

Kangxi said with confidence: "What are you afraid of? I have already thought about it. First, abolish his crown prince and let him reflect on it. Then the officials will jointly restore him. This will not only make him feel awe, but also put out those villains." Isn't it just right for you?"

Speaking of Kangxi's paw stretched out to Prince Yu: "Prince Yu is my elder brother, please keep this matter a secret, brother, you can help me a lot for all the joints in the middle!"

Prince Yu didn't want to be lifted up by Kangxi at all, and then to face those turmoil, the emperor's nephew would definitely hold grudges, and the officials would also be jealous, poisonous descendants!

"Old brother, why don't you cooperate with me in a play tomorrow?" Kangxi finally deliberately ignored the despair and reluctance on Prince Yu's face, Qiankun decided the whole thing arbitrarily.

Prince Yu, who led the horse away, was in a daze. He couldn't help blaming his younger brother, Prince Changning. Why did you go so early? It's hard for me to leave my brother alone. Discuss with your head!

This is how to do ah?This matter is not trivial, does the Empress Dowager know?Emperor, you pat your head like this to make a decision, and pat your chest to make a guarantee. I'm so afraid that you will run away and ignore me in the future?

Tomorrow, the court will agree with the emperor's idea of ​​abolishing the prince?Prince Yu feels that he is not crazy. Although the prince is not favored by him, but at this time, knowing that he will be restored, he still openly opposes him. He has the emperor to protect him, but his son's future is still at stake. Woolen cloth?

Your Majesty, you are really my real brother, you only dig a hole for me to jump in, and you dig a big one!What if you can't get out?Do you care about it?

The air in early spring smelled of fresh snow, and the palace walls in the twilight reflected the setting sun, looking warm. Prince Yu stomped his feet. Anyway, I am an elder brother, and the emperor will never kill me. I will pretend to be sick tomorrow!

The first thing he did when he got home was that Prince Yu asked someone to fetch a few buckets of well water, and Princess Yu followed him strangely: "What is your lord doing?"

Prince Yu asked someone to serve him to take off his shirt. He gritted his teeth and lifted the bucket of water to pour it on his body. The princess hurriedly went to pull it, but was still more than half wet: "My lord, are you crazy? It's so easy I've gotten better, so what's the point of dying now? Can't you just get sick?"

Prince Yu put down the bucket dejectedly, most of his courage was lost just now, let the princess wipe his body, and waved his hand wearily: "You don't understand!"

The concubine threw her handkerchief to the ground: "I don't understand! It's not like the sky is about to fall. The prince is the emperor's own brother. Who else can make things difficult for you? Could it be that the emperor made things difficult for you? I will hand over the sign and enter the palace now." Go see the Empress Dowager and ask for justice for you!"

Prince Yu asked everyone to retreat, wrapped himself in a quilt, and said, "Why would the emperor make things difficult for others? I am his own brother, if he has troubles, who can he turn to if he doesn't ask me?"

: "If the prince is willing to take it, then he will take it, if he is not willing, he will push it away, the emperor will not really do anything to you, he just wants to pretend to be sick, why bother to really hurt yourself?"

Prince Yu and Princess Wang have been together as childhood sweethearts for decades, and their relationship is very deep. At this moment, he couldn't help but tell Kangxi's plan: "Tell me, I'm not really sick in such a thing, can we open up? The emperor won't you?" Will forgive me, the prince will not, I am also in a dilemma!"

Prince Yu and Princess Yu were also stunned: "This is too much fun. He wants to teach his son a lesson, but he wants you to take the blame? The prince is a waste? I don't study much, and I know that the prince should not move lightly, and the mouth of civil officials is easy to provoke." Is it? The emperor is already in his prime, and if he goes, the crown prince will not miss you as an uncle, what will our son do then?"

Prince Yu also put on a sad hat: "That's the reason, otherwise, what am I afraid of?"

Princess Yu sat down angrily, thinking about it for a long time: "The emperor has made up his mind? Can't it be changed?"

: "Today I've been persuaded so much that I drool. He wants to teach the prince a lesson. How can he listen to me?" Prince Yu sighed bitterly.

: "Don't worry, you can't beat me, can't you beat your son? The emperor doesn't care about you, so don't the prince! I'm afraid you will be better off if you change the prince!" Princess Yu smiled coldly: "I think Dingjun The king is very good, he is affectionate to you, and he is also good to Baotai, as the emperor, he is also your nephew, what's wrong?"

Prince Yu was dumbfounded: "What nonsense are you talking about! Is this something we should think about?"

The princess squeezed the handkerchief: "What do you want to do? Is it possible to let others decide for the rest of your life? Haven't you had enough of the prince's anger? The big brother back then was already enough to look down on others, Baocheng is ten thousand times more arrogant than him, I don't want my children lying on the ground begging them! Don't you want to?"

Prince Yu was silent.
