starling is not a bird

According to King Ding's original intention, it is not easy to openly confront Kangxi so early. It is better for the officials to elect the prince. I am in the rightful position.

However, the Ministry of Punishment did not cover the sky with its own hands. The Chengjun King was usually placed in it. If the movement was too loud, it would easily hurt him. If the emperor had a sore foot, it would be a bad thing.

Although Zhao Guolin is solid in his work, he is unwilling to take risks. After all, he is a Hanchen. He was born with a good temperament and a good temperament, and he has no backing. How can he dare to take drastic measures?

The Ministry of Punishments does not decide the case for a day, and the crown prince will be placed on top of the second elder brother by Kangxi in one day. A lot of books in the imperial study room have been put away. King Dingjun has never thought about starting again, and is willing to go to the people under his command More than in the previous life, desperate suppression still can't stop everyone's enthusiasm.

Flipping through the list and abbreviations handed over by Yan Yuan, there are many more familiar names and firm faces. King Dingjun couldn't help but tears welled up in his eyelashes. This time, he couldn't let them down again!

When he was in court, King Ding was still thinking about how to pass the word in, and asked Yan Yuan to try his best not to send out the booklet recommending himself. How is Min Baylor in Tibet? I still need to inquire about it. Fourteen Baylor has not been reinstated. Do you want to find someone to intercede for him? This younger brother is extremely capable, so you can't ask Huang Ama to raise him.

The sudden change caught him off guard, but it was a scene that had been calculated thousands of times in his mind, but this time, Kangxi couldn't hold back anymore.

The emperor's authority cannot be challenged. Kangxi wanted all the ministers to push the crown prince back to power, but was firmly resisted by all the ministers and workers. How could Kangxi endure such humiliation?

Standing in a corner, King Dingjun watched Kangxi lose his temper, watched the officials blatantly contradict each other, and watched the differences between the emperor and his ministers like a gap, completely exposed to the eyes of the public. He knew that the emperor's anger was about to befall him. up.

But today, hundreds of memorials are missing, the joint signature of the prince is missing, and the joint signatures of the ministers are missing. Huang Ama, you can no longer reprimand our party for fighting differences and forming a party for personal gain, can you?

You didn't give us a chance to discuss it. The recommendation of Prince Yu was made by you step by step. I also know that the return of the world to you is just a new conspiracy. You have been fighting with others all your life, fighting against ambitious people The slaves, the harem with ulterior motives, the descendants of former emperors who keep popping up in endless streams, the rioters who never give up, now, in your eyes, your son is a new enemy, isn't it?

Sure enough, Kangxi's eyes swept over and pulled Dingjun Wang into everyone's sight. The gunpowder filled the air, and Dingjun Wang knew that he had no way to retreat, no way to avoid it.

At this moment, in addition to standing up against the wind, King Dingjun can actually kneel down on his knees, low in the dust, beg for mercy slavishly, and degrade himself to protect himself, which is most in line with Kangxi's meaning.

Dingjun Wang didn't think for a long time, he didn't want to bow his head, he didn't want to bend his back, it's not that he didn't bow his head before, the way of heaven has always been less than enough and more than enough, it's just a winner and a loser. Just another weakness in the eyes.

He bravely raised his head and faced Kangxi's anger. At this moment, in the eyes of King Ding, there were no more so-called fathers and sons, monarchs and ministers, and it was nothing more than a life-and-death battle with no return.

When King Dingjun knelt down, his head banged loudly on the floor of the Jinluan Hall, and his voice was still circling in everyone's ears. Yes, when the emperor abolished the crown prince, King Dingjun firmly opposed it. That is, the crown prince was imprisoned, the Zhijun king was imprisoned, and the Dingjun king never came to take care of him.

Prince Yu, who is currently in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, has taken advantage of King Ding. He is already a good man if he can show mercy to his half-brother who is in distress. The prince almost wanted to give him a big red flower to praise him.

The older princes, except for Prince Heng, are all irritable. Prince Yu is older than Kangxi. He has seen the aura of Prince Heshuo’s enclave and murder. Serving a master with a terrifying temper, Baocheng is so thin, and after a few rounds of angry reprimands, he might die.

Seeing King Dingjun knelt down, Ma Qi jumped up: "What King Dingjun said is true, Your Majesty, you backtracked on what you said!"

Although Ma Qi was born in the Fucha clan, he was not considered a wealthy family. Back then, he relied on bow horses and stereotyped legs to struggle up step by step. There were many descendants in his family and many side branches, but few failed to live up to his expectations. House rules are strict.

Therefore, Ma Qi looked down on Kangxi's raising his son very much, even if he didn't respect the teacher, who could he really listen to?You raised your son to have such a temper, and you still want the world to bear it for you, why!

: "The emperor himself ordered the servants to elect the prince publicly. The servants didn't know that the emperor had already chosen the second elder brother. If the emperor wanted to be arbitrary, why use the servants as a cover?" Ma Qi was a confidant of Kangxi. He is also a minister of state affairs, and he is used to speaking bluntly. What's more, he really likes Prince Ding, and loves his first daughter even more.

Ma Wu took a look, oh, the emperor's expression is not right, and then he saw Kangxi standing up from the throne, dragging Ma Qi who was standing aside, and punching him.

This time, everyone was stunned, who would dare to stop it!Ma Wu feels sorry for my brother, Your Majesty, my brother is 58 years old, and he can be a grandfather if he is released to the public, but he will be beaten if he works hard for your family!

Ma Wu knelt down and kowtowed: "The emperor is merciful, the emperor is merciful! The slave brother offended the emperor. He should have died. I beg the emperor to see that he is old and let him go."

Kangxi is also a 56-year-old old man. After a few hits, he was too tired to have any strength, and it was even worse to look back at the courtier who was kneeling on the ground angrily.

Ma Qi is also a person with personality. Although we call him a slave, who really thinks of himself as a slave!Our family doesn't have to worry about food and drink, and we are also full of articles to read there, and our ability is superior to others, why should we be humiliated by you like this!

Oh, when it's good, call me Aiqing, praise me as a good minister, and if things go wrong, you will be a slave who beats and scolds casually?I am a fool!Work hard for you and still do this!

Ma Qi didn't wait for Kangxi to let go, and kowtowed on the ground a few times: "The slave is useless, the emperor of labor, why don't you hang the crown and ask for it, and let the master worry!"

Saying that, he stood up, took off the red cap on his head, put it on the ground, and then walked away, how could King Ding let him act like this, wouldn't he just slap Kangxi in the face openly?

King Dingjun was kneeling at first, so he quickly dodged Ma Wu, stood in front of Ma Qi, and passed his hands behind his back, signaling that A Ling'a was also facing up. King Dingjun.

Holding the red cap in his hands, Dingjun Wang respectfully saluted Ma Qi: "It is the little king who has no virtue, which provoked the emperor's wrath. It has nothing to do with the adults, so why bother?"

How could Ma Qi dare to accept his big gift, he turned his body silently, Dingjun Wang Wenran put the hat on Ma Qi's head again, and tied the belt for him.

Turning around, King Dingjun knelt down again, took off the ruby ​​crown on his head, gently stroked the three-eyed feathers on it, and then resolutely raised it up, holding it up high: "Since Huang Ama has feelings for her son in her heart, Doubt, the son has no way to clear himself up, the only option is to ask for the title to reassure the emperor Ama. If the emperor is still not satisfied, please issue an order to imprison the son, just like the elder brother, the son will die without complaint! "

Kangxi stood at the front of the crowd, looking at his kneeling son and Ma Qi in a mess, the anger in Kangxi's heart was overwhelmed, leaving only exhaustion.

Deep doubts surfaced in my heart. Today is indeed the matter of establishing a heir that I brought up. It is rare for the princes to be so unanimous. Although it seems that they have joined forces beforehand, Prince Yu is his own brother. I know exactly how he is on weekdays. Well, that son of his is also incapable of relying on the emperor to pull him over. If it's about plotting against and supporting him, he won't participate.

And Mazi?He is not a Manchurian surname. Although his family is big, he has no power for generations. I wholeheartedly let him be a pure minister, promote and take care of him all the way, and arrange his children and marriages by myself. Although his position is high, he is also a noble position, not an important person.

He was chosen in the first place because of his talent, and secondly, because he would not involve too much, so that he could balance the eight surnames in the court and suppress other nobles.

Now his brothers and sons are all good, each of them is in his own position, and each performs his duties, which is good, but what happened today, in terms of beating the ministers at will, it is insulting to the gentlemen, and it has brought down the royal prestige.

Taking a step back and thinking about it, King Dingjun is usually humble and never misses serving his father and brother. Even if he is occasionally paranoid, he always feels that he is right afterwards.

Kangxi's face gradually calmed down, Prince Ding's hand was still held high, Kangxi's eyes swept over the crowd, Tong Guowei knelt in front of him and kept silent: "Tong Guowei, what do you think?"

Tong Guowei swallowed the dry saliva in his mouth: "The servant also thinks that King Ding is good!"

After finishing speaking, Tong Guowei knocked his head down, and refused to lift it up again.

Kangxi was furious: "Now that Ma Qi and Tong Guowei are members of the party, they are advocating to make Yinhu the crown prince, which is extremely hateful! I am so angry at this. Today, all the ministers are supporting the same and partial, and Baozuo Yinhu is the crown prince. , I don’t know what that means? If you can establish him, it will be under your control, and you can tease him in many ways? In this way, the matter of establishing the crown prince is all up to you, not me!”

King Dingjun listened to the familiar words, with a sneer on his lowered face, he still remembered that Kangxi was like this in his previous life, he was insulted by a series of cannonballs, big hats were buckled down, and charges were thrown one by one, he should have gotten used to it by now , Exactly the same sentence, that's great, I've never felt like my life was real.

Hey, what about the sentence about sinners?What about the sentence of mediocrity and no knowledge?Oops, this time is good, I didn't hurt my concubine, it's good, my knees hurt a little, my arms are a little sore, it doesn't matter, this time, I finally protect my concubine Jia!

Emperor, you personally bestowed the word of honor, you have not forgotten, how many times your capriciousness has hurt me and the people I care about, this time, I will not give you a chance!

King Dingjun knelt down again: "Emperor Ama don't have to hesitate, my son doesn't want to trouble others, please ask Emperor Ama to punish my son so that the ministers will not be troubled, my son asks himself that he has never made a mistake, his heart is clear, but To the sun and the moon, or to father and brother, but Huang Ama repeatedly threatened, the son's body, skin, skin, and parents did not dare to kill themselves to prove his innocence. They only asked Huang Ama to deal with him, and the son would never be unwilling!"

All the ministers were also moved, and knelt down one after another: "The emperor is clearly aware!"

Kangxi stood alone, looking at the dark crowd of people's heads below, new uneasiness emerged in his heart, and the fear from many years ago grabbed his heart again.

The powerless prince can only watch the emperor neglect his biological mother, and watch the eunuchs and maids look down on him, then what?Why did the involuntary pain of being coerced by powerful officials to issue orders that I didn't like, and being assisted by the empress dowager to do things, come again today?

Isn't it already king of the world?How long has it been since I thought about the loyalty in those people's mouths and the calculations in their hearts?

Kangxi felt a deep sense of powerlessness, the premonition of being emptied became more and more obvious, Qiankun was arbitrary, hmph, it was just a joke, the second elder brother in the deep palace had long been forgotten by Kangxi, Kangxi curled his hands in his sleeves, slightly Trembling, he began to be afraid, not for the second elder brother, but for himself!

After a long time, when even the sound of breathing in the hall required someone to listen carefully, Kangxi finally made such a difficult decision.
