Although Yinqi felt that there was nothing wrong with becoming a successor, he himself had thought about the title of Prince Zhuang, but for Brother Seventeen, being a successor meant more, Kangxi didn't want him.

After the case is settled in the Zongzheng Temple of the Zongren Mansion, Yinli is no longer Kangxi's son. No matter whether he is a predecessor or a descendant, he can only be called the emperor in a proper manner, and there is no longer his emperor's father.And from now on, whenever outsiders are around, these brothers of his can no longer call him Seventeenth Brother and Seventeenth Brother, but can only call him Prince Zhuang.

After such an inheritance, all blood relatives can no longer be as close as before, at most they can be called clan relatives.

Clans, Aixinjueluo's family has [-] if not [-] clans.What is this family member?

Yin Qi sat on the side, looking at the sixteenth elder brother who was also embarrassed, and didn't know how to persuade the seventeenth elder brother.He sighed, and said: "Brother Shiqi... Even if you are a successor, you will still be Yinqi's Brother Shiqi from now on. Our brotherhood will not be broken."

Elder Seventeen smiled wryly twice, and said: "Brother Seventeen... I'm still your Seventeenth Brother at this moment, so call me twice more. I won't have your Seventeenth Brother in the future."

Brother Sixteen frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! Little 23 knows that we are brothers, and our bond cannot be broken. You say that, but you don't throw us brothers aside."

Brother Seventeen shook his head and said: "The emperor has already succeeded me, how dare we... violate the rules, the emperor looks ugly, I am going out of the palace, you can..."

Brother Sixteen was silent for a while, and then said: "The emperor will not ignore the family relationship. We are brothers, no matter whether you are a successor or you are at home, we are all brothers. No matter what happens, it will not be because of our brothers. Friendship punishes crime."

Elder Seventeen still said: "I'm afraid I will miss Brother Sixteen's future."

Elder Sixteen laughed and said, "Look, don't you still call me Brother Sixteen? With your name today, I will be your Sixteenth Brother for the rest of my life."

Then he joked again: "I'm afraid Prince Zhuang won't recognize me as a bald brother."

Brother Seventeen hurriedly said: "Brother Sixteen, what are you talking about! If I can do that, am I still a human being!"

Yinqi also said: "Since you say that, you can't forget Yinqi. Yinqi still wants to follow Brother Seventeen."

Hong Zhou also followed suit, saying: "Uncle Seventeen, there is also a nephew. The nephew also wants to follow suit."

After laughing and making a fuss, Elder Seventeen's melancholy also faded away, Elder Sixteen stood up and said, "I still have some things to do in the House of Internal Affairs, so I'll go there first, so as not to have to wait until the Emperor calls, and I won't see me." , it’s time to reprimand me again.”

Elder Seventeen hurriedly got up to see him off, and when he walked to the door, Elder Sixteen said to Yin Qi: "You stay here to talk with your Seventeenth Brother, and someone will come later, your Seventeenth Brother is not feeling well , you can also help out with entertainment."

Yin Qi nodded and said, "Understood, Brother Sixteen, don't worry."

Brother Sixteen smiled again and said to Hong Zhou: "Don't just be naughty, you know how to say hello when people come."

Hong Zhou groaned, and said, "Uncle Sixteen, don't say that, people will think I'm not polite."

Brother Sixteen walked away with a smile, but Yin Qi was a little bit guilty in his heart.

Why did the sixteenth elder brother let such a little elder brother help the seventeenth elder brother?He is also relieved?

Remembering that Elder Sixteen is a hidden member of the Fourth Master Party, Yinqi wondered if Elder Fourth or Elder Thirteen had said something to him...

I heard Elder Seventeen saying in my ear: "Yinqi, let's go in. Ask your sister-in-law to get you some snacks. You have been here for so long, and you haven't even given a cup of tea. I am an older brother and an uncle." Yes, careless too."

Yinqi laughed and said, "I'm here to greet Brother Seventeen, not just to eat and drink. Brother Seventeen doesn't need to be busy with these things."

Then he said with a smile: "But if there are any good ones, my younger brother will also eat them. Seventeen's sister-in-law's jujube cake is delicious. After my younger brother ate it last time, I have been hungry for a long time."

Hong Zhou followed with a smile and said, "Uncle 23 is a greedy cat, Uncle Seventeen should ask my aunt to prepare more. Otherwise, there will be no nephew to eat."

Elder Seventeen pointed at him and laughed, "You still say that little 23, you yourself are a greedy cat!"

After crossing Ming Road and changing the jade certificate, Elder Seventeen became Prince Zhuang's heir, not Kangxi's son anymore.

Before leaving the palace, Elder Seventeen held a banquet in private with several brothers who had been close friends with Suri in his own courtyard at the West Fifth Institute. It was regarded as a farewell to him by everyone. The banquet was true and false, and many people My eyes are red.

Only the sixteenth elder brother laughed and laughed as usual from the beginning to the end, but Yinqi knew that he had cried with the seventeenth elder brother earlier.

After the banquet was over, Elder Sixteen was already drunk so unconscious that he only lay down on Elder Seventeen and was supported by several people before he could barely walk.

But at this moment, no one accused him of being disrespectful. Elder Seventeen watched the servants send Elder Sixteen back to his own yard, but Elder Sixteen suddenly threw himself on him.

Brother Sixteen was laughing and crying, but said: "Brother Seventeen... Let's grow up together as children, suffer together, and be bullied together... Now you are going to get out of this cage... This is what I have in my heart. I can't bear to..."

Elder Seventeen hurriedly covered his mouth, and then angrily said to the waiter next to him: "How did you serve him! The master is so drunk, he is talking nonsense, and he doesn't know to come and help arrange it!"

Even if he was drunk, Elder Sixteen seemed to know that he had slipped his words just now, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Could it be that he was possessed by a ghost just now? How can you say it is nonsense..."

Fortunately, people have almost left, and there are only 21 elder brothers, 22 elder brothers and Yin Qi, who are not ten years old.Elder Seventeen treats all of them well, Elder Sixteen is even more able to win over people, and he is not afraid of them spreading their words and making others talk nonsense.Brother Seventeen said: "You guys should go back first, lest this drunkard disturb you and make your life miserable."

Brother Sixteen also smiled and said, "Let's go... I'm a drunkard..."

On the second day, Elder Seventeen went to see Kangxi before leaving the palace. This was the last meeting between father and son.After leaving this palace gate, there will be no Elder Brother Seventeen from now on, only Prince Zhuang.

Kangxi met the seventeenth brother in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Yinqi was still in the Shang Study Room at that time, so naturally he couldn't see him.But on the way back, I saw elder brother Shiqi passing by from a distance, five or six feet away, and Yin Qi could also see his red eye circles and nose.

When I went to pay my respects to Kangxi, Kangxi did not read booklets or rest as usual, but sat upright, looking out of the window in a daze.Seeing Yinqi go in, the instant fatigue and father's kindness that he showed made Yinqi's nose sore.

Then he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Huang Ama, Yinqi has come to greet you."

Kangxi nodded, let Yinqi come to him, and touched Yinqi's head.

At this time, he can still call him Huang Ama with a smile like this, and the only one who has walked so close to let him touch his head is only such a young son...

Hearing Kangxi sigh above his head, he said, "Why are you alone? Hong Zhou didn't come with you?"

Yin Qi raised his head and replied: "On the way, Hong Zhou asked the fourth brother to call him to talk, saying that his mother-in-law was not well."

Kangxi said: "No wonder the two of you are not together. I see, since Hongzhou entered the palace, you two have been inseparable. But this is good, you are not alone anymore."

There was loneliness in his voice, saying that Yin Qi was not alone, but because he was alone.Yinqi hurriedly said: "Even without Hong Zhou, Yinqi is not alone if he has Huang Ama."

Kangxi laughed and said, "Your Mama can't be with you forever. Mama is old, and there will be a day when she will go first. Who will accompany you then? Fortunately, you have Hongzhou, so I don't worry."

Yin Qi shook his head and said coquettishly: "Don't want Hong Zhou. Yin Qi only wants Huang Ama! Huang Ama is still young. When she was in Mulan, Huang Ama didn't shoot deer with her own hands? Yinqi is still looking forward to waiting for Yinqi When he grows up, Huang Ama personally prays for Yin's name of Batulu."

Kangxi didn't answer, just smiled and patted his head.After a long time, Kangxi sighed: "When you are 20 years old, if I am still here, I will definitely seal you as Batulu."

~~~~~~~

Originally it was almost certain that the twelfth elder brother who was going to be the successor to Prince Zhuang was suddenly replaced by the seventeenth elder brother.But no one dared to say anything, anyway, it was the emperor's will, and there were still people who could question it.

Furthermore, Kangxi called Elder Brother Twelve to go over at that time, but he didn't say why.Everyone thought that he was definitely going to be a successor, but they were just guessing.At this time, it was discovered that the successor was Brother Seventeen, so he could only say that he had guessed wrong.

Yin Qi felt that Kangxi really changed his mind halfway, and replaced the [-]th elder brother with the [-]th elder brother.The reason, of course, is the performance of the twelfth elder brother since he went to Rehe.

Now that the imperial decree has been issued, the seventeenth elder brother has also become Prince Zhuang, and the twelveth elder brother disappeared immediately, returning to the original state of no sense of existence.

But the things he did before have become a joke, and he doesn't dare to go out to meet people anymore.It wasn't until Kangxi gave porridge in Laba that Yinqi saw this brother again.

In just two months, Elder Brother Twelve's original high-spiritedness has disappeared, and now he looks even more depressed than when he didn't talk about the succession.Yin Qi couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Shi Twelve was afraid that people would laugh at him, so he left in a hurry after receiving the congee.But he was overly cautious, how could anyone notice him at this time?

All eyes were focused on a person who hadn't appeared in front of everyone for two years, but could hear his name all the time.

The fourteenth elder brother who returned from the expedition is the focus of today.

After two years of expedition, the 59th elder brother was well-known and well-known. In August of the [-]th year of Kangxi, his subordinate Ge Erbi led his troops to Lhasa.In September, Brother Fourteen ordered Yanxin and other escorts to arrive.Lama Xinhubilhan arrived in Lhasa on September [-]th and held a solemn enthronement ceremony.So far, the Tibetan rebellion instigated by Tsewang Alabutan was completely put down. Kangxi also erected a monument to commemorate him, and ordered Alan Bu, the clan assistant state prince, to draft the imperial inscription.

The fourteenth elder brother who has just passed his thirties, is young and vigorous, with outstanding talents, and the most important thing is to hold the military power in his hands. Who will not step forward to curry favor for a while?Even if it is the fourth elder brother, for the sake of being his own brother, he stepped forward and showed a smiling face.

The fourteenth elder brother looked so complacent, Yin Qi only wanted to sigh when he saw it.He still doesn't know that he has already attracted Kangxi's taboo. As a king, how can he tolerate the Lord of High Workforce?That is to say, the fourteenth elder brother is Kangxi's favorite son, so he can still face each other with a smile on his face and speak softly.

In the past two years, although he was named the commander of the Northwest Army and "managed the food and pay of the army entering Tibet", the actual command of the army was divided between Jingni General Fu Ning'an, Zhengxi General Qi Lide, Zhenwu General Fu Erdan, and Dingxi General Ge Erbi. , General Yanxin and others.

These generals directly asked for instructions and reports from Kangxi himself, and accepted the direct command of the emperor. Therefore, the so-called "dispatching officers and soldiers" of the so-called general king cannot be divided into the emperor's responsibility. The actual power is actually limited, and only "Zhang Jing", " Low-level officials such as "National Guard Academy".

And if something really happened, it would not be a precedent or a special grace for General Fuyuan to hold this limited power.In the future, when Kangxi died and the fourth elder brother succeeded to the throne, the fourteenth elder brother could not lead his Northwest Expeditionary Army into the capital to seize the throne, because those people would not obey his command.

As for the food and payment affairs of the Qinghai No. [-] army, Kangxi decreed that the governor Gashtu transferred from the Balkur army was responsible for the food and payment affairs of the Balkham No. [-] army, but Sichuan Governor Nian Gengyao was in charge of handling the food and payment affairs.Although Nian Gengyao was a little vacillating, he was still the servant of the fourth elder brother.Seeing that the eighth elder brother has been disliked by Kangxi all these years, how can Nian Gengyao not honestly listen to the fourth elder brother?

Judging from these arrangements, although Kangxi reused the fourteenth elder brother, he was not unprepared for him.Even Kangxi secretly let the fourth elder brother restrain the fourteenth elder brother, paving the way for the future prince.

Brother Fourteen is not unaware of these things.

But now he is still showing off his might, could it be that he has other plans?

Or, did he think that Kangxi would change his mind because of his performance and favor him instead?

Yinqi also couldn't figure out Kangxi's mind.Now that Kangxi is getting older, his mood becomes more and more ups and downs.He can be more gentle towards Yinqi, the youngest son he has been doting on for several years, but he is becoming more and more impatient with the older sons.

That is to say, the fourteenth elder brother can still see his smiling face. A few days ago, because of the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the fourth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother were called to the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and they were told to kneel in the snow for a good meal rebuke.

What this represents is really hard to say.

Do you want to support the fourteenth elder brother, or suppress the fourth elder brother if you want to promote it?

It's just that Yinqi looked at the fourteenth elder brother, and now his momentum is really great.And everyone can see Kangxi's love and reliance on him. The strange reason is that Yongzheng ascended the throne in history, so some people questioned his throne.

But Yin Qi thought about Kangxi's attitude towards the fourth elder brother in the past few years, and what he secretly arranged for the fourth elder brother, plus the fourth elder brother's own skills, if the fourteenth elder brother is really the same as in history after the next year Going back to the northwest, the throne must belong to the fourth elder brother.

After paying his regards to the fourteenth elder brother, he stood aside, and together with the seventeenth elder brother who is now Prince Zhuang, looked at the lively crowd over there.
