[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?

When everything was figured out and he gave up, the third elder brother finally felt at ease, as if he had let go of the burden on his body, unprecedentedly relaxed and happy.He waved his hand and shouted to the personal eunuch next to him: "What are you doing in a daze? Bring wine and some side dishes. I want to have a good drink today!"

The eunuch looked at the third elder brother pitifully, and was about to cry from fright: "Master, you..." I have never seen the third elder brother look so crazy, and for a while, I really thought that the third elder brother was too stimulated Frustrated and insane, almost kneeling down.

"It's okay, I'm fine." The third elder brother put his legs up on the couch, lay down and reclined on the soft couch, and said lazily, "I just suddenly figured it out. If you can't fight, let's not fight. I won't play with them anymore, let them fight on their own. Even if I become a prince without real power in the future, I will at least be a prince, right? Fortunately, I am not in deep trouble, so I can get out now." Usually, my father Huang also said that he was soft-tempered and timid, and that he was too cautious and restrained in doing things, but those who were bold generally did not live long.

"It's not a bad thing to be a coward with a long life." The third elder brother squinted his eyes and said softly. After a moment of silence, seeing that no one moved, he patted the soft couch and said, "What are you doing in a daze, go!"

The eunuch came back to his senses, quickly responded, turned around and ran to the kitchen.

"Continue to beat your legs." The third elder brother closed his eyes again and meditated.

The servant girl trembled, moved forward slowly, and beat San Elder Brother's leg.

Thirteen's mansion.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Thirteen slowly woke up, sat up with a yawn, and began to get dressed.

Forcibly holding back his anger and sleeping with someone for half a day, Wang Ren, who didn't even eat lunch, gave Thirteen a resentful look, and got up to put on his coat.

Thirteen, who was too sleepy and temporarily forgot the little thing before falling asleep:? ?

What's wrong?Why do you feel that his eyes have... the feeling of a resentful woman who has lived in the pavilion for a long time and can't see her husband?

Delusion?

After washing up a bit and having a meal, I don't know whether it should be lunch or breakfast. The two talked about the eighth elder brother for a long time, and finally decided to use the plan, not just to keep the eighth elder brother from taking Shisan and Wang Ren's The matter got out, and at the same time, he wanted to use the hands of the eighth elder brother to completely wipe out the prince's gangsters.After all, he is the prince who has been in the court for more than 30 years. Even if he is in conflict, there are still a few loyal ministers in the court who are loyal to him and hold real power in their hands.

If the prince hadn't been in a hurry to advance, and Kangxi was too cautious to deal with it, it would not be impossible to overthrow his father and seize the throne by virtue of the prince's power in the court.Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.It is a foregone conclusion that the prince will be deposed again and will be imprisoned all his life and there is no possibility of recovery.

After getting through with the fourth master, Wang Ren began to protect the eighth elder brother on the bright side in the court.The real intentions of Wang Ren's actions are only known to those two elder brothers, so in the eyes of other officials, Wang Ren's actions are a bit weird and confusing.Especially in the eyes of the officials of Si Ye's followers, Wang Ren was simply crazy.The fourth master and the eighth master have not had a good relationship since they were young. In addition to the fact that the prince they support is an opposing party, there is also a private rivalry between the two, which has nothing to do with parties or the throne. The opponent is not pleasing to the eye.

There are really people in this world who are born with incompatibility.The fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother are the ones who do not match their characters.In the eyes of the eighth master, fourth master's stern and fair demeanor is pretentious, and in the eyes of the fourth master, eighth master's exquisite appearance is hypocrisy.

Therefore, even if Eighth Prince wanted to win over Wang Ren, he definitely didn't want to win over Fourth Master and Thirteen together.He would rather support the prince instead than see the cold face of the fourth child!

It can be seen how much disagreement there is between the two.But Wang Ren is going to defend Lao Ba at this time?

Of course, the weirdest thing is that while Wang Ren went to protect the eighth elder brother, he and Shisan still had a close relationship. There was no estrangement between the two because of Wang Ren's different parties, and the fourth master didn't seem to care much.But from everyone's point of view, fourth master really didn't want to get close to Wang Ren.

As for how much of it is acting and how real, only the parties concerned know it in their hearts.

Although Wang Ren helped the eighth elder brother to clean up a few of the prince's henchmen, but they were just dirty corrupt officials, and the other Wang Ren didn't reach out.It's just that this is enough, and the eighth elder brother didn't bother Wang Ren anymore.

It has been more than a year since the prince was deposed, and the days seem to have passed so plainly.The crown prince was abolished, the elder brother was circled, the third elder brother silently withdrew from the vortex of seizing the heir, the fourth master was still pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he glanced around in the hall, only the eighth master was still jumping around .Half of the prince who seized the heirloom had left, and the eighth elder brother looked at the entire court, feeling that he had no opponent.

Therefore, the heart began to relax slowly.

Until later, during Kangxi's southern tour, something happened, so that the eighth elder brother had to lose the battle for the heir.

After one or two years of cultivation in the palace, Kangxi's heart seemed to be hardened a lot because of the first time he abolished the crown prince.The second abolition of the prince did not affect him. On the contrary, after the second abolition of the prince, Kangxi's body and bones began to slowly improve, and he suddenly changed from a frail old man to a strong emperor.However, from Wang Ren's point of view, it has the meaning of a fading sun and a return to the sun.Wang Ren thought in his heart that when Kangxi got seriously ill again, it was time for him to die.

Because of his health improved a lot, Kangxi thought of going out to inspect (play) again.And the place to go this time is the Rehe area.As always, Kangxi is going to take a few sons out for inspection (play).The fourth master and the thirteenth are not among them. The reason is naturally that the fourth master needs to deal with the affairs of the court. This time there is no crown prince, so Kangxi's trustworthy son is required to stay in the capital. Secondly... it turned out to be the third child.

The two brothers all stayed in the capital.

As for Thirteen... Ever since the crown prince was abolished, the existence of Thirteen was completely ignored by Kangxi and dealt with coldly.In other words, it can be regarded as snow storage.Naturally, he was not on the list for going to Rehe this time.There are eighth elder brother, ninth elder brother, and fourteenth elder brother in the list.However, the eighth prince refused this trip because it was the second anniversary of the death of the eighth prince's mother, concubine Liang, so he went to pay homage to his mother, but he sent eunuchs to Kangxi He explained the reason and said that he would wait for the emperor to return to Beijing together at Tangquan.

As the little celebrity beside Kangxi, Wang Ren was on the entourage list. He glanced at the unhappy expression on Kangxi's face when he received the letter from the eunuch.

Wang Ren secretly laughed, it's no wonder Kangxi would be happy if Eighth Brother did this.Although this did show that Lao Ba attached great importance to filial piety, it also trampled Kangxi's face on the ground at the same time.

Kangxi asked him to go to Rehe together, which is a gift.However, the eight elder brothers rejected Kangxi in order to visit the grave of a woman from a humble background who had been dead for two years.Not to mention that this woman is the biological mother of the eighth elder brother, just because the eighth elder brother did not come to apologize in person, but just sent an eunuch to deliver the letter, Kangxi was angry enough.That good concubine is the mother of the eighth elder brother, so isn't Kangxi the eighth elder brother's father?The status of the mother is more important than the status of the father of the king of this country. It is so important that the eighth elder brother can go to visit the grave in person and can't even apologize in front of his father?

In addition, since the eighth elder brother was too arrogant in the court because he had no opponent in the past, Kangxi was even more dissatisfied, and he snorted coldly and ignored it.He left without telling the eunuch a word of permission.

The eighth brother is going to follow in the footsteps of the prince.

Didn't he see how the prince fell?It's not because he has the intention of treason, but because he is too arrogant and throws Kangxi's face to the ground again and again.

Now the eighth elder brother also started to slap Kangxi in the face.

After setting off, he started to go to Miyun County and Huayugou area. Halfway through, there was a postman who came to deliver things to the emperor, saying that it was from the eighth elder brother, in order to relieve his majesty.Wang Ren thought it might be because the eighth elder brother was reminded that his previous behavior was inappropriate, so he sent a gift to curry favor.However, when the thing was delivered to Kangxi, and when Kangxi lifted the covering cloth, what he saw were two high-quality Costinins.Costin's scientific name is Zheying, which means the highest and fastest flying bird in the world, and it has the meaning of "God of Eagles".According to legend, only one "Citongqing" comes out of [-] condors.Sending these two animals can really please Kangxi, but the premise is...if they are healthy and alive.

But these two Haidongqings were already limp, their feathers were disheveled, their eyes were loose, and they looked as if they were going to die at any moment.

Kangxi's face turned dark immediately, and he ruthlessly dropped the bird cage on the ground. The two sea dongqings followed in the cage, but they didn't make a sound, and they seemed to have no strength.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." An old minister who was watching the whole process stood up and said, "Perhaps this young man from Haidong is a bit older and can't bear the hard work of the journey..."

These words are obviously not to excuse the eighth elder brother, but to continue to add fuel to Kangxi's anger.

"Nizi!" Kangxi panted heavily angrily.Are you mocking yourself when you are old? !

Wang Ren immediately stepped forward and comforted him softly: "Your Majesty, your body is important, don't make yourself angry."

Hearing Wang Ren's advice, Kangxi calmed down slowly, but his anger rose instead of falling, and he said to the eunuch Li Yu beside him, "Go and call everyone, I have something to say."

All these people naturally refer to the princes and ministers traveling together.

After a while, everyone arrived, and they all stood in front of Kangxi and waited for instruction.

Kangxi asked people to show the dying Haidongqing in the cage, and said angrily: "Yinhu was born to a bitch Xin Zheku, and she has a high and sinister heart since she was a child. He once listened to the words of Zhang Mingde, a charlatan, and wanted to take her away. Obtaining my throne and murdering the second elder brother is because I was thinking of my past affection and not severely punishing me. I was ill before, and the ministers protected the eighth elder brother. I was very helpless, so I let the former prince Yinfeng out. But in the past few years, I have often regretted it in my heart. Yinhu has never changed his mind, and has formed a party with rebellious officials and thieves. Now he even uses these two Haidongqings to mock me, thinking that my time is not long, and you are safe now The person playing is such a person who is neither filial nor fraternal!"

The more Kangxi scolded, the more excited he became, and even slapped the table and roared angrily.

There were a row of princes and ministers standing below, but none of them dared to speak.

Kangxi cursed and couldn't breathe well, so he started coughing.Li Yu next to him hastily poured a cup of tea, handed it to Kangxi and drank it.Kangxi was silent for a moment, and then continued to scold after resting.

Wang Ren: ...

After scolding, the old man felt a lot more happy when he saw it. When everyone thought this matter could stop like this, Kangxi said another more heartless sentence: "From now on, Yinhu and I, father and son will never be gracious." Yea!"

Too cruel, Wang Ren is sure that if the eighth brother is there, he will pass out.

The most ruthless person in the royal family is not the elder brother who once wanted to kill the second elder brother, nor the fourth elder brother who banned and changed his younger brother's name after he became emperor, but Kangxi.In the words just now, he not only suppressed the eighth elder brother, but also scolded the former prince who had loved him for decades, constantly claiming that the Erli prince was a helpless move and a failure because all the officials After trying to protect the eighth elder brother, he released the prince to balance the power.Probably because he saw that he was doing two things and wasting two things, his own failure in the matter of the prince made him blame all these faults on others.It's all forced by you, that's why you have such a face.

I am used to seeing the ruthlessness of the royal family, but it still makes people feel cold.

After returning to the capital, the eighth elder brother was robbed of his salary, silver and rice by Kangxi, and he was locked up at home, which can be regarded as a disguised form of imprisonment.Eighth Prince never thought that it would end like this after a trip to Rehe, just as a gift for his father, especially...

The author has something to say: [Text·Continued]

It was such an ending, especially the words of severing the relationship made it difficult for Eighth Prince to accept. After receiving the order, he fell ill and stayed in bed for more than a year without seeing anyone.

Kangxi is also unwilling to see Eighth Brother now.The secret of Wang Ren and Shisan was accidentally kept.

But why the Haidongqing sent by the eighth elder brother became like that is still a mystery.

Half a month after returning to Beijing, the concierge sent a letter from an unknown source, and the addressee of the letter was Wang Ren.

After opening the envelope, only a few words were signed:

Seeing that your behavior is different, has it been discovered?Help me by the way, the effect is very good, thank you.

The signature is Yi Ming.

The corner of Wang Ren's mouth twitched. Why did this guy reach out to Yicheng?

Forget it, this time it was indeed his love.Even if he doesn't help, Wang Ren can solve this matter.

Ask Wu Mei to fetch the brazier, light it on fire, glance at the letter and put it on the flame, the jumping flames will soon devour the letter.

The truth of the Costin incident was thus buried.
