[Qing Chuan + Red House] Lin's eldest daughter

What made Yinhu even more frightened and timid was that his intuition was not good. When he arrived in the palace, he found out that Huang Ama not only summoned all the brothers, but also all the royal family members and officials above the third rank. The battle is not bad.

This is a big move.

Everyone looked at each other in silence, the same thought popped up in their hearts, and they couldn't help but look dignified, but there was only one person who seemed to be unaffected at all, and that was His Highness the Crown Prince.

I saw his eyes sweeping over the brothers, especially focusing on Prince Zhijun and Ba Ye. There was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, which seemed a bit frivolous. It's completely different, like a different person.

All the people stood upright and waited. In the huge Qianqing Palace, there was no sound other than the sound of breathing. The atmosphere was so quiet that it made people break out in a cold sweat for no reason.

I don't know how long I waited until I heard a sharp voice, "The emperor is here!"

Everyone quickly knelt on the ground and shouted long live three times.

"Flat body."

Everyone responded, but all of them looked at their hearts, and felt very good.

Since he was injured, Kangxi has become more and more slim, his face has become more aged without flesh, his cheekbones have become prominent, and he has a more stern and mean look, and I don't know if it is because of it. Because of the damage to his vitality, there is always a trace of fatigue in his eyes, giving people a feeling of lack of energy.

In fact, this is not an illusion of others. Kangxi’s own feelings are clearer. He is indeed more and more exhausted. He used to be able to review memorials until midnight, and he was still very energetic after sleeping for two hours. Sometimes he even finished his work in the middle of the night. It doesn't affect anything if you can spoil a concubine when you are interested.

But it’s no longer possible now. If he rests later, his head will be groggy all day the next day. If he reads more memorials, he will even feel dizzy and dizzy, often looking at the mountains of memorials. Frustration of powerlessness.

His eyes swept over the group of high-spirited sons, and Kangxi's complexion couldn't help becoming darker, with gloomy eyes.

Although all the elder brothers lowered their heads, they still clearly felt the oppression of the gaze, and their heartbeats instinctively accelerated a lot, this was out of natural fear of the imperial father.

"I heard a strange thing today, and I couldn't make up my mind for a while, so I asked you to come and consult with me." Kangxi said lightly, with no trace of joy or anger in his tone, "There is a magician named Zhang Mingde who is eight Elder brother looked at the picture and asserted that eighth elder brother will be very expensive in the future..."

really!

Yinhu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stood up and said, "He's just a charlatan, he's always talking nonsense to fool people into eating and drinking, it's really unbelievable, Huang Ama really doesn't need to take it to heart."

"Oh? You really think so? Since you believe that such a person is a liar, why did you ask someone to look at it? And why didn't he be punished immediately when he made up such a rebellious statement? On the contrary, you allowed this 'command' to spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital... I would like to ask, what is your intention?"

Yinhu's face turned pale, and he knelt down with a plop, with cold sweat pouring out of his forehead, "Huang Ama Mingjian, this person was originally brought by a disciple next to Erchen. Erchen didn't believe it, but it was To save face for that doorman, he casually asked Zhang Mingde to take a look, but who would have thought that he would utter wild words... Seeing that his gray hair was already over fifty years old, my son-in-law didn't have the heart to seriously care about him, and only verbally warned and reprimanded him. That's all for a while, as for how to spread the word, I really don't know..."

"You are kind and kind-hearted. No wonder everyone calls you 'Eight Wise King'."

Kangxi's words of unknown meaning caused a chill in people's hearts inexplicably.

"Huang Ama..."

Before he could continue to defend himself, the crown prince interrupted him, "Huang Ama Xu doesn't know something, and Zhang Mingde is well-known in the capital, and many people like to spend a lot of money to ask him for fortune-telling. Very accurate, the common people respect him as a living god, even the son-in-law who lives in the palace has heard about this person, the son thought that this liar may be able to deceive ten or eight, but it will not be enough to fill the capital. Everyone has been fooled by him, right? Since he can be so sought after, he must have some real skills."

Yinhu suddenly raised his head and looked at the prince, his words were clearly pushing him into the fire pit!Could it be that the crown prince plotted against him behind his back?

Yinti couldn't help raising his eyebrows, feeling weird.

Why can't the prince jump out now?Are you not afraid of taking the blame?Why is this person acting more and more out of order?

Kangxi also looked at the prince, "From what you mean, do you think this person's words are still somewhat credible?"

"It's better to believe what you have than to believe what you don't have."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help but looked at the prince in unison.

Is this an attempt to crush Ba Ye to death?Could it be that the crown prince felt that the eighth master threatened his status?Can't you?The prince in my impression is not such a person with a cup bow and a snake shadow, not to mention that he is also a brother, so it is not good to be so in front of the emperor, right?It is unavoidable to get a reputation of disobedience, and it is bound to incur the wrath of the Eighth Master's party, is it worth it?

Even fourth master couldn't restrain his surprised eyes.

Huang Ama summoned so many people with great fanfare today, and he specified that he did not intend to expose the matter easily. It is impossible to guarantee that he did not want to take this opportunity to photograph Lao Ba. He did not believe that the prince's mind would not be able to see this. In this way, it is enough to just watch from the sidelines, so why jump out by yourself?Isn't this superfluous?He also brought criticism to himself for no reason. As a prince, he only needs to hang high and maintain his princely demeanor when it is not necessary. He should not touch such a bad name for his brothers. What is the prince singing about? ?

Before Yinhu could speak, the supporter jumped out.

"His Royal Highness is making a fuss over a molehill. Just use the words of a random commoner as a real punishment. If you want to deal with anyone in the future, you can just ask people to go outside and talk nonsense? It's a joke!"

It was Prince Yu Baotai who spoke, the son of the former Prince Yu Fuquan and the nephew of Kangxi.

The relationship between Fuquan and Kangxi brothers has always been very close. Fuquan has been assisting Kangxi wholeheartedly for many years. He has been born and died for the Qing Dynasty. Later Kangxi also took care of Baotai, so it's no wonder he dared to speak out.

Unexpectedly, the crown prince glanced at him, sneered, and directly pulled out the whip wrapped around his waist like a decoration, and lashed at him, with violent eyes in his eyes, he said: "What are you, you dare to reprimand Gu!"

Everyone was stunned, even Baotai was stunned for a moment and forgot to dodge.

In Qianqing Palace, in front of the Holy Majesty, the dignified prince dared to flog the royal clan in public?It's ridiculous!

"His Royal Highness!" Yinhu gritted his teeth and rushed forward to stop him, "How can you be presumptuous in front of Huang Ama? Quickly stop!"

The prince was not frightened by the "Huang Ama" he carried out at all, but even rewarded him with a few whips.

As the elder brother of the royal family, how has Yinhu ever suffered such a thing?Immediately, his face was contorted in pain, and his heart was filled with humiliation.

But Baotai on the side looked at him with a moved face, only saying that Ama still has vision, and Ba Ye is really a wise master.

Everyone looked at the situation, and then looked at the emperor above. No one was sure what to do. They wanted to stop them but dared not stop them. They were afraid they would go up and be beaten together. Even Ba Ye would be regarded as a slave How about whipping at will?

Just when everyone was hesitating, they heard Kangxi call out lightly, "Okay, stop."

Only then did the prince stop, turned his head and knelt down on the ground, and said to Kangxi, "Your minister has lost his composure, please punish Huang Ama."

"Your Majesty!" Baotai also knelt down on the ground with a plop, and cried, "It's nothing more than a slave. Although the slave is the cousin of His Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness is the king after all. The master wants to teach the servant a lesson." I absolutely dare not complain, but the eighth elder brother is also a prince, the same son and grandson, but His Royal Highness has no scruples in fighting if he wants to, let alone the slightest brotherhood... Your Majesty! The character of His Highness Such a domineering and violent person is really not worthy of being a crown prince!"

"Prince Yu's words are true. Now His Highness the Crown Prince dares to do such a cruel thing to the royal family and even the dignified prince in front of the Emperor. If His Highness the Crown Prince is really allowed to hold the power of life and death in the world in the future, wouldn't it be even more wanting?" Kill whoever you kill? The Qing Dynasty is in danger, Your Majesty!"

"His Royal Highness has been acting more and more absurdly, violently and unkindly lately, and he has completely lost the slightest trace of being a prince... Please think again, Your Majesty!"

……

If there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three. After Baotai, many people jumped out and accused the prince one after another. Many of them were people with ulterior motives, or the Baye Party or Zhijun Wang's faction, of course, also has some ministers and royal family members who were really shocked by the change of the crown prince.

The most fearful thing for a courtier is to meet a violent monarch. First, there is no guarantee for his own safety, and he may lose his head if he says something wrong. Second, the harm that a violent monarch will bring to the people is immeasurable. Yes, counting the dynasties and dynasties in detail, if the monarchs are absurd, violent and unkind, which one is not the people who complain and complain?The final outcome is often to lead the entire dynasty to perish together.

Whether it's out of concern for their own safety or for those who care about the world, they can't help but have strong dissatisfaction with such a prince. They don't know why the prince who was once elegant, noble and gentle as jade has changed so much. It was a series of blows that changed his temperament, but no matter what the reason for the change, from the current point of view, the prince is indeed no longer the enlightened master that everyone expected.

Kangxi didn't say a word, just listened quietly to the impassioned and righteous indignation of the crowd, the expression on his face did not change at all, it was always so calm, it took a long while until no one jumped out, then he looked at the prince.

"If you whip the royal family and your younger brother in public, what does the prince want to say?"

"I don't think I shouldn't beat them." The prince sneered calmly under the astonished eyes of everyone, and glanced back and forth at Yinhu and Baotai, "The old Bayi wolf is ambitious and wants to do something wrong. Shouldn't such a disobedient person be beaten? And Prince Yu has a close personal relationship with Lao Ba, and he colludes with him to commit crimes, so what if such a rebellious minister and traitor are beaten alone? It's not an exaggeration to take his head off!"

Yinhu's face changed drastically, "His Royal Highness be careful!"

"What? Could it be that Gu has wronged you? Do you dare to say that you have never thought of pulling Gu down and replacing him? Gu is the prince of the Qing Dynasty, and the prince is also a prince! You are not a minister if you try to replace Gu! It is the following crimes There is no pardon!"

Immediately, Yinhu's legs softened, she knelt down, looked at Kangxi and hurriedly explained: "Huang Ama Mingjian, my son has no such intention!"

Baotai glared at the prince, "His Royal Highness is really deceiving people! It's not worth lashing out at the eighth elder brother for a disagreement, but in the end, he still has to forcibly slander the eighth elder brother in an attempt to justify himself. It's really shameless!"

If you want to overthrow the crown prince and replace it, you just need to have a tacit understanding in your heart, can you bring it up on the table?Just like what the crown prince said, the prince is also a prince, and if he dares to rebel, he is a traitor.

Can't take this pot!

"No such intentions? Slander?" The prince glanced at Yinhu, and couldn't help but sneered, "Since you say that, I don't understand. If you have no intention of disobedience, you, the eighth, are busy making friends all day long." Why do you win over that one? You married the Tong family earlier, then Tong Guowei killed Fujin on your side immediately, and then pried the corner of the fourth brother to marry Nian Gengyao's sister... just like that, how dare you Are you saying that you have no heart of disobedience? Do you think everyone is a fool?"

Yinhu was speechless. Anyone with a discerning eye would know what was going on with such a thing, but no matter what, it must not be brought to the table, and it was unbearable to say it.

Without waiting for him to defend himself, the prince continued: "Let's talk about Zhang Mingde... If you really think what he said is not true, you should punish such people who utter outrageous and rebellious words on the spot. Don't have the heart to argue. As the royal elder brother, I believe that you will never lack sensitivity in this regard, and the reason why you let him go and even gave him a generous reward is clearly because his words just hit your selfishness. !"

"Zhang Mingde has been a fortune-teller for dozens of years, and he should always know the rules. He can say what he can say and what he can't say. This kind of old-fashioned gangster is very clear in his heart. If it's a customer's private matter, he can just say something when he goes out. If everyone knows about it, who would be willing to find him? Since he didn't tell it, who else would know such a private thing as physiognomy?"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Kangxi again, "Huang Ama, I think that the words and deeds of the old man are all in the heart of Sima Zhao, and everyone knows about this matter, except for him. He obviously couldn't wait to replace him." Erchen, jumping up and down is busy building momentum for yourself!"

"Bloody spout!" Baotai hopped his feet anxiously.

The prince was very calm and didn't bother to talk to him at all.

"Old Ba, what do you have to say about the prince's accusations against you?" Kangxi asked in a deep voice.

Yinhu opened his mouth, this matter cannot be admitted, even if everyone knows it well, they must never admit it!

"Huang Ama learned from you, my son really has no such intentions..."

"Besides this sentence, what else can you say? You can't even argue with sophistry?" The prince continued to be aggressive.

Yinhu was so angry that he almost gritted his white teeth, and before he and his henchmen could come up with any good excuses to defend themselves, Kangxi opened his mouth again.

"Emperor's eighth son, Yinhu, was born to a bitch of Xin Zheku, but he was rogue by nature and arrogant, and he had the heart of hoping for great unification. He was disloyal, filial and fraternal, and now he is removed from Baylor and imprisoned in the government. "

Yinhu suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and the sentence "Xinzheku was born by a bitch" only made him dizzy, a fishy sweetness gushed out of his throat, and he vomited blood on the spot.

"Eighth brother!" Baotai hurriedly stepped forward to support him, looking at Kangxi, "Your Majesty..."

"Don't say any more, get back!" Kangxi scolded, his eyes stayed on the scarlet for a moment, but then he looked away as if nothing had happened, and glanced coldly at the sons below, looking at their faces. With a terrified expression, he said sharply: "If anyone dares to use such a low-level method to cause people's hearts to fluctuate and cause chaos, don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between father and son!"

Everyone was silent like cicadas, they were all frightened by his anger, no one thought that this man would be so ruthless the moment he opened his mouth, and no one wanted to be the next Yinhu.

When he returned to the mansion, Yinzhen still felt his legs were a little weak, and only now did he feel that his back was wet.

Seeing his expression, Lin Mohan jumped in surprise, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter? What's the matter?" Are those hands sweaty?

Yinzhen pursed his lips, and said in a dry and difficult voice: "Old Ba...was banned by Ge Jue..."

"What?" Lin Mohan turned pale with shock, and wanted to ask carefully, but seeing his appearance was really not good, so she temporarily suppressed the shock and doubt in her heart, and repeatedly ordered people to prepare soothing soup and hot water, saying: " Lord calm down first, then go to wash and change into clean clothes."

After drinking a bowl of calming soup and taking a hot bath, Yinzhen's nervousness finally eased a lot. He went back to the room and sat down on the kang and took a sip of tea. The terrified scene still couldn't stop sighing.

"Tell me what's going on." Lin Mohan was so curious that he couldn't wait to ask.

Yinzhen told it in detail.

After listening to it, Lin Mohan couldn't help being surprised and said: "Isn't Lao Ba so stupid? How can such words be spread out carelessly? Isn't this obviously a taboo?"

Yinzhen shook his head and sighed: "You don't need to delve into it to know who Lao Ba is following this time, but the fact of the matter is not important, the important thing is that Lao Ba really has the heart of disobedience. This is the only thing that Huang Ama can't tolerate him, and this incident is just an excuse for Huang Ama to get angry, so as to solidify the old man's desire for unification."

"Then old eight is useless?"

"It's almost the same." The sentence "Born by a bitch of Xinzheku" is equivalent to nailing Lao Ba to the pillar of shame.

"But these are not the most important things. It is the crown prince who really confuses me..." Yinzhen frowned, puzzled, "The crown prince seems to have changed completely. No matter how you look at it, these words and deeds are not right. His style..."

When he heard him say that the crown prince was whipping Prince Yu and Lao Ba with a whip in front of Kangxi, Lin Mohan was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, and after a long while he hesitated, he hesitated: "Could it be that the crown prince knows that he has no hope of succession, so he simply Broken cans, broken and thrown as you like? Maybe the big change in temperament is due to overstimulation?"

Hard to say.

Yinzhen always felt that it was not that simple, but for a while he couldn't figure out what the prince was singing.

What is even more unexpected is that in the days to come, the prince will become even more aggressive. Even when he is in court, he will often whip the ministers in public, no matter whether they are first-rank officials or royal family members. , as long as it makes him unhappy, it will be a slap, even Kangxi's reprimand is useless.

It is very easy to admit mistakes, and continue next time, it is clear that the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out.

In addition, the prince is more and more fond of extravagant enjoyment, not only is he surrounded by beauties every night, the wine pool is unrestrained, and he even dares to intercept the tribute without permission. .

All of a sudden, His Royal Highness's reputation for cruelty, violence, and licentiousness became increasingly louder and louder, causing courtiers to impeach him frequently, and even the people gradually heard about it, and countless people were disappointed and heartbroken.

As time passed, seeing that the prince was still indifferent to all kinds of impeachment accusations and even the emperor's admonition and punishment, the voice of "abolishing the prince" became louder and louder, and it was too loud to be ignored.

Above the court hall, looking coldly at the disappointment, contempt, and spurn expressions of the courtiers when they faced the prince, Yinzhen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he understood something for a moment, and then looked at the face with a hangover and a lazy attitude. When he was the prince, his heart couldn't help being suffocated.

The emperor is waiting for the right time to abolish the prince, everyone knows this.

Previously, the prince's reputation had been ruined by the emperor, and his party members were beaten to pieces by the emperor. Now that Suo'etu is dead, the most core members of the princeling party have also died... It can be said that if there is no accident If not, the prince probably has no chance of succeeding to the throne.

As the first son of the Empress Yuan, who has been the crown prince for more than 30 years, if he is not the one who succeeds him, his end will never be so good. It is even human nature for the new king to choose to kill the grass when necessary.

And what if this "Deposed Prince" is notorious?All the ministers and common people hate him and spurn him, so will the new king choose to be cruel?Probably not, after all there is no impenetrable wall in the world, once it is done, there will always be some traces left, the new king will also be afraid that he will leave a bad name in the history books for killing his brothers, so the new king should do it if it is not a last resort won't do that.

What kind of threat can a "waste prince" who is notorious for being useless and only knows how to indulge in pleasure and drunkenness pose a threat to the new king?It's a good idea to stay to build a good reputation for yourself, isn't it?

Besides, others may not understand the prince, but how can the emperor who raised the prince not understand his character?The former father-son relationship was not fake, and the tension between father and son in the future is only because of the word power. Once the prince no longer threatens the emperor, will the emperor recall the past father's kindness and filial piety?Seeing his son, who was originally talented and good-natured, forced to the point where he could only protect himself and his family by humiliating himself, would the emperor feel a little bit of guilt in his heart?

Maybe there will be.

Yinzhen thought, in the final analysis, the prince is different to Huang Ama after all, almost [-]% of the father's heart is given to the prince, how can he not feel sorry or feel guilty at all?

As long as he gets this feeling of distress and guilt, Huang Ama may also leave him a "gold medal for avoiding death" in the future. Don't ask for a more noble life, at least he can live. Only if he lives, can the family, wives, concubines and children Live well.

All the outrageous words and deeds of the prince are just seeking a way out for himself and that family.

What a proud and high-spirited person, but now he is forced to such a field.

Yinzhen couldn't help but feel his eyes heat up, and he felt like a big stone was blocked in his heart, making him unable to breathe.

He thought, the prince must have won the bet, even he couldn't help but sigh in distress, how could Huang Ama, who once held the prince in his hand and loved him so much, be really indifferent.

Of course, Kangxi also felt distressed and guilty, and even had the urge to give the crown prince the Zen seat for a moment because of his health, but he was still unwilling after all.

He was only injured temporarily, and the imperial doctor also said that if he takes good care of him, there will be no serious problems. He still has a lot of ambitions that have not been fulfilled, how can he be willing to let go of power and take care of himself for the rest of his life?

He is not reconciled, he is the real son, and he will surely live a long life.
