[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?

【Text Beginning】

Wang Ren picked up the glass of wine, slowly put it to his lips, and drank it down.

Kangxi closed his eyes and murmured softly: "God's will..."

Wang Ren gently put the quilt on the table, and slowly closed his eyes.

1 second... 5 minute... [-] minutes...

Nothing happened.

Wang Ren opened his eyes in shock and looked at the table.He thought that these two cups were poisoned wine, he thought that Kangxi's cruelty... would not let him go.

Is he still alive?

"God's will." Kangxi sighed, "Since that's the case, I don't care about you and Brother Thirteen, let's go down."

Wang Ren looked at Kangxi in astonishment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed his hands and said goodbye.When he got out of the palace and looked at the blue sky, he actually felt like reliving his life again.This kind of taste is too wonderful, but just after Wang Ren came out of the palace, he saw a person blocking him, Long Kedo cupped his hands and said to Wang Ren: "My lord, can I take a step to speak?"

This kind of taste is too wonderful, but just after Wang Ren came out of the palace, he saw a person blocking him, Long Kedo cupped his hands and said to Wang Ren: "My lord, can I take a step to speak?"

Wang Ren looked at him suspiciously, looked up to see that no one was paying attention, and followed Longkoduo away.

Inside the palace, Kangxi said to Li Yu, "Take it all down."

Li Yu responded, and immediately went down with the cup.Personally stare at the 'destroying corpses and eradicating traces' of these things.Wang Ren chose the cup on the left, which was supposed to be poisoned.Yes, it was supposed to be released.It's just that Li Yu...he didn't let go.The three glasses of wine brought in from the beginning were just two glasses of sake and a glass of white water.

Of course, it's not that Kangxi wanted to let Wang Ren go. If Kangxi wanted to let him go, he wouldn't have played this kind of drama in the first place.Kangxi really wanted to kill Wang Ren.It was Li Yu who saved his life, or in other words, he bribed Li Yu's fourth elder brother to save Wang Ren from death.For the fourth elder brother, Wang Ren is an indispensable help, and also the most important... sweetheart of the younger brother.Therefore, after the eighth elder brother claimed to know the secret of Shisan and Wang Ren, the fourth elder brother immediately found Kangxi's most trusted eunuch and asked him to do his best to keep Wang Ren's life.

Li Yu has followed Kangxi for decades, so he is undoubtedly loyal.But after this heartfelt heart, he also has selfishness, and he has to think about himself.Li Yu would not betray Kangxi, if the fourth elder brother wanted to rebel or poison Kangxi, Li Yu would never agree to help him.But protecting Wang Ren is to deceive Kangxi, but it will not cause any harm or influence to Kangxi, so Li Yu agreed.Naturally, what he did was to make his life not too sad after Kangxi died.

After taking care of these few things and absolutely not leaving any evidence of crime, Li Yu returned to Kangxi with peace of mind and listened to his orders.After Kangxi came to power, Li Yu followed him. This time lasted more than 30 years. Kangxi watched Li Yu change from a little eunuch serving tea to a big eunuch next to him, so Kangxi never thought of that After two glasses of wine, Li Yu made a fuss, and kept talking to Li Yu after he came back.

"Is this good luck for Wei Xian, or is it really God's will?" Kangxi sat on the small step and sighed.

Li Yu, who caused this so-called providence, said softly: "It must be luck. A cup of sake and a cup of poisonous wine, there is always the possibility of choosing sake."

"That's right." Kangxi sighed, "But for these two cups, he chose the non-poisonous one. I think this is probably God's will. Li Yu, bring a pen and paper and my jade seal!"

Li Yu bowed his head in response, turned around to get the paper pen and jade seal, and began to grind ink for Kangxi after the things were ready.

"I have been hesitating before, who should be appointed as the reserve. Afterwards, I have decided, and I will leave it to God's will." Kangxi said in a deep voice, "Li Yu, those people think that I have nothing. I know. But I’m not too confused, the person behind Wang Ren should be the fourth child. Then I thought, let Wei Xian be the representative of the fourth party. If he chooses poisonous wine, then the heavens will not favor them , this reserved position will be handed over to the fourteenth elder brother. If he chooses sake, this reserved position will be handed over to the fourth elder brother. If he chooses white water, this reserved position will be handed over to the thirteenth elder brother. It seems that this is God's blessing This is the fourth one."

Li Yu's hand stopped.He didn't expect that Wang Renna's request to remove the white water and his own two glasses of sake left Kangxi with the possibility of only one reserve.

"What's wrong? Continue." Kangxi urged.

Li Yu's hands continued to rub the ink.

"My throne...Let it be passed on to the fourth elder brother Yinzhen." Kangxi said in a low voice.

Wang Ren, who was called away by Longkodo, followed Longkodo into the carriage and went to Longkodo's mansion.In Longkodo's study, Longkodo withdrew his servants, mysteriously took out a box, and handed it to Wang Ren.His cautious attitude made Wang Ren look sideways, and looked at Longkodo suspiciously.

Longkodo gestured to Wang Ren to open it.

Wang Ren opened the box, and there were actually two sheets of paper inside, one in Chinese and the other in Manchurian.During these years in court, and reading books with Shisan on weekdays, Wang Ren also learned some Manchu. Although he couldn't translate all of them, he could roughly know what was written on them.In particular, there was a Chinese copy next to it. After reading it, he was so frightened that he almost didn't hand it over.

"What is this?" Wang Ren asked in surprise and anger.

"Chuan Wei Zhao Shu." Long Ke Duo said in a low voice without changing his face.When he said this, it was very flat, as if it was just an ordinary document.

"Why do you have this?" Wang Ren asked in astonishment.

"I have been very good at imitating other people's handwriting since before. The emperor's handwriting was often seen before, and it is not difficult to write." Longkoduo said.

"This is treason, it is against the law, if it is known..."

"It will affect the whole family." Longkodo continued Wang Ren's words, "My lord, this is the edict of the Fourth Lord's succession."

"so what?"

"You entered the palace today, is the emperor okay?" Longkodo asked back.

Wang Ren was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

Your Majesty is very bad. Judging by the blackness on his face, it will be difficult to survive until the end of the year, let alone the end of this month. There are only a few days left.

"Now the fourteenth elder brother is still at the border, and the eighth and ninth elder brothers are also under strict surveillance." Longkodo said, "Everything is ready, but on the emperor's side, who knows who the emperor will choose?"

Wang Ren continued to remain silent.

"Although the fourth elder brother has the support of many courtiers, they add up to less than half of the people in this court. The most numerous people in this court are not the prince's party, but the royalist party's neutral faction. If the emperor's will chooses ten Si elder brother or other princes, I was too busy to wait. Preparing this is just in case."

Wang Ren frowned.

"The winner is the king and the loser is Kou, if I wait for the big fanfare now, and wait for the other princes to become emperors in the future, won't I become the new emperor's confidant?" Longkodo continued, "Although brothers shouldn't kill each other , but... who can say for sure?"

Longkodo is really smart. If he threatens the safety of himself and Wang Ren, Wang Ren may still be entangled, but if he threatens the safety of Brother Thirteen, then Wang Ren will dare to abandon all moral bottom lines and set foot on the rebellious minister. The thief will never return this way.

Longkodo just told Wang Ren clearly that they had no way out, they had to win or die.

Wang Ren, who just wandered around in front of the ghost gate, was naturally courageous and not afraid of anything. He read the 'legacy' carefully and said: "There is no seal of the jade seal."

"Your Majesty Wang, you don't have to worry about this." Longkodo smiled, "Find an opportunity to confirm the will first, if it is passed on to the fourth master, that's all. Paste it on the yellow silk and stamp it with the emperor's seal. There are also people from us there, as long as Mr. Wang concentrates on cooperating with me."

Wang Ren put the two pieces of paper back into the box, nodded and said, "I see."

Longkodo smiled with satisfaction.

At the end of the month, Kangxi was seriously ill, and the imperial physician came to treat him but was ineffective. In the ugly hour, Kangxi, the first emperor through the ages, passed away.

That night, Li Yu spread the news from the palace, and the first to arrive were the close ministers Long Kedo and Wang Ren. According to Li Yu, the two found the photo of Kangxi's death, and the throne was passed on to the fourth son of the emperor, Yinzhen.Wang Ren silently destroyed the forged edict with a brazier.

At Yinshi, the news of Kangxi's death was sent out, and all the ministers and princes came.Taking care of the funeral and... worrying about storage.

After all the ministers of state affairs arrived, Li Yu revealed the imperial edict left by Kangxi before his death. After taking it out, several ministers appraised it. The handwriting and the seal of Yuxi were confirmed to be correct.The new emperor will be Prince Yong.

After taking care of Kangxi's funeral and the appointment of the new emperor, Ba Prince and other talents finally regained their freedom. However, the general situation has been set and there is no possibility of change.The fourteenth elder brother rushed back from the frontier, but when he came back, Prince Yong had already sat on the throne and started to handle government affairs.

The reign title was changed to Yongzheng the following year.And use the thirteenth elder brother, Wang Ren, Lin Jing, Li Wei and others to suppress the eighth elder brother and others.The struggle between the two factions did not end after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne.Because it was Li Yu and Wang Ren who found the will, and Long Kedo was the one who read it out, so many ministers believed that the will was unreliable and forged by these people.

Wang Ren: It was indeed forged, but it was useless.

And the reason for thinking this way is not without reason, who made Kangxi always show great importance to the fourteenth elder brother before he passed away, and the incident of entering Tibet with the fourteenth elder brother was because of a private conversation, and the time when he and Kangxi fell ill Too close so not many people know.No one knew that Brother Fourteen had just lost his Sacred Heart when Kangxi fell.Kangxi was not very willing to pass the throne to the fourteenth elder brother, but he himself could not make a decision.Only then did the matter of linking the choice of the throne with Wang Ren's life and death arise, leaving everything to fate to decide.

But I don't know that sometimes what is hidden under the so-called fate is not accidental but inevitable.

Later, Yongzheng made a series of measures in order to consolidate his throne, such as recalling the fourteenth elder brother and then finding faults and imprisoning him, finding faults with the eighth elder brother and then imprisoning him, finding faults with the ninth elder brother and then imprisoning him, finding... …

In short, in the first few years of the Yongzheng period, the entire court fell into a darker period than the nine sons seizing the throne.Without Kangxi staring at each other, the brothers fought each other even more ruthlessly.

However, all this has nothing to do with Wang Ren.

Fourth Master sat on the throne, even if Eighth Brother told about that matter, it would be fine for the two of them, not to mention that Eighth Brother would soon be unable to talk to outsiders.Wang Ren lost all scruples, and went to Thissan's place on weekdays to be sticky with Master Shisan even more unscrupulously. He didn't even return to his own home, but lived in Prince Yi's Mansion of Shisan for a long time. Although he has no status, it is already a reality. princess on.The slaves in the mansion were well aware of the relationship between the two, but even the emperor didn't care, let alone the people below.

In the second year of Yongzheng, Hongshi was adopted by Yongzheng under the name of Brother Thirteen. In fact, it was just a formality to change the jade plate.In the past few years, Hongshi became a frequent visitor to Wang Ren's house, and over time the regular visitor has long since become a permanent residence.Especially when Wang Ren lived in the prince's mansion for a long time, he always had the illusion that Shisan had changed his past with Hongshi.

etc!The prince's mansion is Shisan and himself, and the family over there is his younger brother and Hongshi...

He felt as if he knew something.

It is not the case to lead by example.

That's all, my younger brother's affairs are his own decision, why should he interfere.

Just have a good day.
