Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

But Concubine Liang's illness cannot be concealed after all.

There are so many people in the palace, and those who celebrate Chinese New Year call the imperial doctor in the palace on the first day of the new year. This kind of thing is the first time I have encountered it in decades, so it is inevitable that people will have to ask around, so Tian Mi can tell everyone to keep their mouths shut. On, but it's still too late, the word has already gotten out.

Brother Fourteen heard the news as soon as he woke up in the morning of the second day. He was so surprised that he didn't eat breakfast, left his wife aside and hurried to the palace.

Erniang was already sick, and it was impossible for the Fourteenth Fujin to take the child back to her mother's house at this moment, so she rushed over in a hurry, and the couple were booing in front of the hospital bed to ask for warmth.

Concubine Liang just advised them not to take it to heart, "I've been through this for the past few days, just wait a few days and it will be fine."

Elder Fourteen forced a smile on his face, and when his daughter-in-law was gone, Concubine Liang couldn't help holding Elder Fourteen's hand, "I know I'm getting old, you can't listen to what I say, outside things I won't say much, my knowledge is not as good as yours after all, but you have to listen to me about the family affairs.

Your daughter-in-law is a child of a good family, and she lives with you in a serious manner. No matter how good the woman outside is, she is not your daughter-in-law. People like me in the deep palace have heard about you. Think about it outside What has been said about it? It has been passed on to your emperor Ama. When the time comes to ask about you, how do you explain it? "

Brother Fourteen doesn't believe that this matter will reach the ears of the old man, even if it is passed on, he will have something to say.

"Don't worry, my son will be able to fool this matter by then."

Concubine Liang couldn't help but sat up from the bed after hearing this, "Who do you want to fool? To fool me or to fool the emperor? Few people in this world dare to fool the emperor."

Concubine Liang was very frightened, she was worried that her youngest son would follow the same path as the old eight.

"You promise Er Niang, but you must be steady, don't do anything that jumps out, your starling has already been locked up, if you have another one who is good at two things, what will you ask Er Niang to do? "

In fact, when Elder Fourteen said this, he already regretted it.He was very clear in his heart that Er Niang was a harem woman with little knowledge, unlike the other empresses who knew more about the affairs of the court, Er Niang was a woman with three obediences and four virtues. When something happened, she would never blame her When it comes to other people, they will only find the reason from themselves, but the fact is that Er Niang has never been at fault.

"Don't worry, you won't dare again."

With such a dry sentence, how could Concubine Liang feel relieved, she was worried all day long, and when her son left, she couldn't help telling: "You have to promise Er Niang to live a good life and stop hooking up with women outside. It's okay, don't think too much about it, as long as you are safe and sound, Er Niang doesn't ask for anything and doesn't expect anything, you have already done your filial piety to Er Niang."

However, Concubine Liang's earnest instructions did not let Fourteenth Brother take it to heart. At this moment, he thought in his heart that he must do something.

I don't stand out among my brothers. If the old man knows about all these things I have done, I may leave a bad impression on the old man. I have to restore my image and save my strength.

Perhaps this battle can quickly achieve their goals.

But the old man has already made a plan, this time the person in charge is Lao Qi.When the old seven was young, he followed the old man's personal expedition, and he performed quite well, and now he has accumulated strength for so long, and has a high reputation in the army. Fourteenth brother himself is too clear, there is no way to deal with this People take their place.

So this matter still needs to be figured out slowly.

The fourteenth elder brother is full of worries, and Kangxi also feels that he should do a big thing for himself before passing on the throne.

When he came to Chengqian Palace, he first chatted with Tian Mi about Concubine Liang's condition, and then he told Jianyou about his plan.

"My age has also reached the sixtieth year. Among the people, 60 years old is a big day, and people with some wealth will throw a big banquet. Therefore, I also want to share my blessings with the elderly in the world. I plan to hold a banquet in the capital. Thousands of old people's banquet."

Tian Mi did not show any objection after listening to it, but counted the savings of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in her sleeve.

The saved money is enough for him to waste once.

"When will the banquet be held? You said that we will build a palace outside the palace for our elderly care. Now that the foundation has been laid, the money needs to be set aside first. This time the banquet is another big event. Now that it is done, we will Do it generously, and save the money for this time. No matter how you say it, Yang Dan was raised by us, so I don't plan to let him wander around like this anymore. His marriage should also be mentioned The schedule is over, this is another sum of money..."

Tian Mi was calculating the bills one by one, and when she saw Kangxi's face, she quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, there is enough money to handle these things, but everything has a priority, I will always take care of your affairs." Putting it in front, Yang Dan’s affairs are not in a hurry. But your affairs should be divided into those who are anxious and those who are not. The banquet must be more anxious than our palace building. Do you think 20 silver is enough? "

Kangxi nodded in satisfaction, "It's almost there, and if there are shortages by then, there won't be too many shortages."

After finishing speaking, he let out a long sigh, "Don't think I'm extravagant and wasteful, it's really the last thing I do for myself, after we finish this thing, let the army go out, When the army triumphs, it will be the time for me to pass on the throne."

Tian Mi heard this tone, as if she had already chosen the candidate, but Tian Mi didn't dare to ask this sensitive question.

Moreover, Tian Mi is not easy to ask about the army's expedition.

I had no choice but to say something indifferent, "Is it true that the army will go out in the second half of the year, and will it be too cold in the northwest to affect the march? Should the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepare cotton and linen?"

"Of course it's cold in the northwest, but it doesn't affect the troops stationed there. You don't have to worry about it. Everything will be handled by the household department."

After the new year, everyone can feel that the weather is getting hotter in the first month, and these old and young men in the capital are also talking about the upcoming expedition.

Fighting is not just going away. Hundreds of thousands of troops are assembled, and the food, clothing, weapons, armor, and medicine needed by the army need to be prepared in advance.

The fourth elder brother has been busy with this matter for a while.In addition to the busy yamen of the Ministry of Households, the yamen of the Ministry of Officials is also busy, because troops are dispatched from all over the country.The official correspondence between officials and yamen is also flying all over the sky.In addition, the yamen of the Ministry of War was not even closed at that time, and people came in and out day and night.

Even the Ministry of Rites, who had been fine for a long time, came to join in the fun and insisted on writing an article calling for thieves.The Ministry of Industry is busy making ordnance, and it seems that there is no sense of existence. The only thing that is free is the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

Lao Qi didn't even return home during this period, and he needed to nod for various things. He and King Narsu were busy, and those who hadn't set off for the battle had already lost a lot of weight.

All kinds of things were carried out in a bustling manner until June. When the weather was hot, the framework of various things had been finalized, and the generals who accompanied the army had also been listed in a form and handed over to Kangxi.

Kangxi studied this form for several days, crossed out some people on it, and added some new people on it.

When Lao Qi and Kangxi discussed this matter, they didn't say much about Huang's behavior of adding personnel. Instead, after receiving the memorial, they expressed very emotionally that they would wait until the old man's birthday passed before leaving.

After all, it was his son who went out to fight. Although there was a large army with him along the way, the sword had no eyes. If something happened, he might never see his son again in this life.

Kangxi also planned to let Lao Qi go after his birthday.

But at this moment, a demonic wind suddenly blew up in the capital. I don’t know where the news came from, saying that only princes are worthy to lead the army, which means that the emperor will use this big battle to check whether the princes have successors. Great ability.

This news seemed to many people to be nonsense. After all, Lao Qi had a problem with one of his legs. In many people's eyes, this meant that he was born without a chance for the throne.

But there is also a saying that there is a nose and eyes. This kind of saying is that after Lao Qi was born, the emperor asked a moral and moral monk to tell his fortune, and it was calculated that it was the fate of the golden dragon.Otherwise, why would he go back on his word and not adopt him out at the beginning.

Although one leg is not suitable, but then again, the emperor is not a stickler, if he really thinks this son is good, he insists on letting this crippled son ascend the throne?

Some people also said that even if the emperor did his best to facilitate it, all the ministers and princes disagreed.

Those who agreed that Lao Qi could become the emperor retorted disdainfully. He has a large army in his hands, so it doesn't matter whether you agree or not.

And in the early years, Wu Zetian was able to be the emperor as a woman, and Qi Ye was a man anyway, so why couldn't he be the emperor?

This statement has a nose and an eye, and many people believe it.For a while, everyone looked at Lao Qi with hot eyes.

After being busy for so long, Lao Qi first went home and slept in the dark for two days, and when he woke up again, he broke out in a cold sweat after hearing the report from the servants at home.

"Which wicked bastard is plotting behind my back?!"

He quickly came out of the house, and first went to the palace to find out what the old man said.At this time, Kangxi was in the Changchun Garden, and Jiaojiao, the youngest daughter of the fourth elder brother's family, was learning a few pieces of music, and she had to play it for Kangxi.

With nothing to do at the moment, Kangxi sat under the pavilion and listened to his little granddaughter playing the piano.

Lao Qi came in a hurry, Kangxi opened his eyes and glanced at him, pointed to the seat next to him, and asked someone to bring him a plate of watermelon.The father and son listened to the piano in silence.

At the end of the song, Lao Qi put down the melon rind he had eaten, and heard Kangxi ask: "How is your niece playing the song?"

It's not that good, a little girl has only been studying film for a long time, but the child is my own child, so I can't be wronged.

Lao Qi said very tactfully, "Not bad, not bad, if you keep working hard these days, you will make great progress in a short time."

Jiaojiao thought that Uncle Qi was praising her, so she politely let the palace maid hold the zither and retreat.

Kangxi asked Lao Qi to sit in front of him, "What you said is just to fool the child. You only tell her that she can go further in the future, and the future is promising. But you don't comment on how she is playing now? If she is older, she may I will ask you, it is because you are not sensible at the moment that you are fooled."

"It's just that she played the piano for too short a time, her hands were weak, and she played a lot of mistakes, so my son can't be offended if he wants to praise him."

Kangxi reached out and took a sip of the tea on the table, "You, you should tell the truth just now, you are still young, and the servants around you are flattering her, so you should point out her faults truthfully, that's the way to go." Don't feel bad, otherwise everyone would praise him, she would still think that she is really a Guzheng master, and it will be our family's face that will be lost in the future, and sooner or later she will know that she is not good at playing the piano, and she will expose it when she was young. It can make her progress humbly, wait until she is older to expose it, I am afraid that by then she will not even have the courage to play the piano."

Lao Qi admitted that the old man was right.

Kangxi said again: "I know why you came here, just let go and do it. The young man has worked hard for half his life, isn't it just for the purpose of slashing the sword on the battlefield?"

Lao Qi was very moved at this time, thinking that this is his real father, his father sitting on the throne is completely different from his brothers sitting on the throne, if the brothers were sitting on the throne, he would encounter such rumors , at this time, maybe I have knelt here and wept bitterly to justify my heart.

Only with a real father can he not care about so much, he can be kind and encouraging, and he can trust his son.

"Xie Huang Ama, my son is now fully prepared, he can go to the northwest at any time, and he will never come back until he wins this battle."

The reason why Lao Qi said this was because everything was properly arranged, a large amount of food, grass and wound medicine, as well as the army assembled from all over the place, were much better than their opponents in the northwest.If you still lose the battle with such a big advantage, it can only show that you are a pig.

Lao Qi, who came back from the palace, remained motionless, not paying attention to the rumors and gossips outside, and still doing things steadily.

Lao Qi never cared about what was said outside, summer passed in a blink of an eye, and although there were still autumn tigers in autumn, it was time for the old man's feast for the elderly.

The focus of the princes' attention has shifted from the gossip outside the palace and the thinking of the old man to this banquet.

This time the banquet was particularly grand. Apart from the old people recruited from all over the country, the specifications of the banquet could also be regarded as unparalleled.

The old people who participated in the banquet were divided into two types: officials who retired and returned to their hometowns and ordinary people. Naturally, the officials who retired and returned to their hometowns could get close to the emperor. Several people could hear each other when they spoke louder. All of them are grandsons of the emperor.

Although the ordinary people outside couldn't see Long Yan most of the time, the banquets were also top-notch, and it was the imperial guards who served them food and wine.

Not to mention the singing and dancing performances in the middle, the fireworks and palace lanterns at night, and the banquet is not only eaten once or twice, but also for three days in a row.

This is a banquet hosted by the old man for his birthday. All the princes should dress up in auspicious clothes and wait for the call near the banquet.It can be said that this time, anyone with a little bit of power wanted to sneak into the banquet to mention their worth. These grassroots ate and gorged at the banquet, and these princes could only wait conscientiously, for fear that the time would call Can't get there.

Since they were waiting, most of the time was wasted in vain, so this group of people chatted whenever they could sit together, and took a few sips of tea with each other if they couldn't talk together.

When the banquet was held on the first day, Shisan was followed by a fat baby, and the father and son strolled over.

The thirteenth brother called out to the fourth brother, and the fat baby behind him cupped his hands in a naive manner, kowtowed his head on the ground, and called the fourth brother.

The fourth elder brother got up quickly, helped the child up and hugged him in his arms, "Oh, this kid is so lucky, he is still so chubby after so long, when he was young, he said he would lose weight after weaning, but later he said he would run away , running around will also lose weight, but until now it has been so fat."

The little fat man also knew that he was talking about himself, so he immediately plunged into the fourth elder brother's arms, covered his head with the fourth elder brother's clothes, and exposed his buttocks, thinking that if no one saw him, he was not talking about himself.

Shisan felt a pity that his son was not able to serve the dishes with him, "Fat is fat, but he is a little younger, otherwise he can be selected this time. By the way, fourth brother, I heard that Hong Shi also selected him gone."

As soon as the son was mentioned, the expression on the face of the fourth elder brother became richer, and he finally sighed, "At the beginning, there was no him. He was said to let Hong Yun go, Hong Yun also wanted to go, everything was arranged, but yesterday this child was a little bit He had a fever, so Hongshi pushed him up, and I was worried that this kid would cause trouble, since he has never done anything to make me feel at ease since he was a child."

Thirteen persuaded: "Don't think so much, this child is getting bigger and bigger now, and he is also a prudent child. Besides, his elder brother is watching from the side, so nothing can go wrong."

The fifth brother walked over from the ninth brother, and heard the second half of the sentence, "What are the fourth brother and the thirteenth brother talking about? What is wrong?"

"When we were talking about our Jiahong, that kid might do something. I'm afraid he'll make a joke later."

The fifth elder brother sat down, "It's not just fourth brother who is worried, I am also worried. When I brought the little things out of our house today, the brothers discussed behind my back, saying that they wanted to steal the wine glass from the banquet, and I was also worried. It is rare to see such a banquet, and I must take something back when I catch the opportunity. After being scolded by me, I was worried that they would not listen. After a while, under the watchful eyes of everyone, I really want to put the wine glass in my purse That's really a joke, if the incident happens, the old man will swell my face this afternoon before tomorrow."

This time, the grandsons serving the dishes were concentrated in the homes of the third, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth and tenth children.

Lao Jiu's family had few people, and only one son was born, so I wouldn't worry too much.Hongxuan from Lao Shi's family is getting old, and he took his two younger brothers with him. Lao Shi gave these three children a lot of advice before going out, but considering that the three children of his family have never done anything out of the ordinary , so don't worry too much.

The real concern is the old Wu's family, mainly because the brains of his children are too active. As adults, they really can't think of what they pretend to be in their heads every day.

The fifth child was worried, the seventh child was also worried, and the third child wanted to come over to express his worries, but when he saw the thirteenth sitting here, he thought about whether he did not come this way.

These elder brothers shook their heads and sighed together, while the other younger brothers inevitably discussed in private.

Fourteen said to Fifteen, who was playing cards, "Don't you have a good relationship with fourth brother and thirteenth brother? In the past, they all got together. Doesn't it seem that you are alienated from them by staying here?"

After Fifteen heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Fourteen more, "You think too much, my younger brother has a good relationship with Brother Thirteen. After all, we both grew up in Yanxi Palace. Tell Fourth Brother A few words are also because the empress often takes us to visit the empress empress. Is the relationship good or not? Is it possible that our brotherhood should be divided into high and low?"

Fourteen smiled, "Brother is also worried about you. If I were you, I would join in now. Unfortunately, I can't. After all, you know what the starlings do, and I was also implicated. You see Seeing that the most powerful seventh brother, and the powerful fifth and fourth brothers are all together, the wealth and power of the next few decades can be seen at this time. It doesn't matter to the elder brother, there are two younger brothers under you Yes, you have to think about it."

After all, after Shi 56 came out of the palace, he was still a bald elder brother, and he didn't have any decent errands in his hands. It was always the odd jobs that the older brothers couldn't finish, which were assigned to them.After each job, the old man will reward them with some money to support their families.

However, the prince who has not been knighted is treated as a prince. Their brothers are not short of money, the only thing they are short of is the title.The longer I go out, the more I can appreciate the benefits of rights, so I am a little anxious at this time.

However, no matter how anxious they are, these two people also know that they grew up in Yanxi Palace, not the princes raised by them in Yonghe Palace, and they will not be driven by Fourteen.

So after a while, the two brothers hid aside, and Shiliu asked sadly, "Brother, what do you mean by him?"

"What does he mean? It has nothing to do with us. We just need to keep it at a respectful distance. I think he just can't eat grapes and says grapes are sour. Seeing a bunch of people get together, he can't get angry when he is alone around him."

Sixteen felt that it shouldn't be like what Brother Fifteen said, but the two brothers were really weak.

Fifteen also discovered the situation of the two brothers, "Seeing that those older brothers have already divided up the power, we younger brothers have no choice but to pick up some leftovers behind, but whoever's It's a choice."

Fifteen looked at the younger brother next to him, thinking in his heart that when the two brothers came out of Yanxi Palace, they had put a kind of label on their bodies, and they were bound together with Chengqian Palace. After all, everyone is Tong's family. A son raised by a woman, the sisters have a good relationship, and it is a natural alliance if they don't turn their faces.

So no matter what, he has to follow the fourth brother. Now the fourth brother has not forced the two brothers to express their views, but the two cannot be regarded as invisible.

Sixteen and Eighteen are younger brothers, and I am an older brother. This kind of thing can only be done by myself. If I am really convicted of forming a party in the future, I will be guilty. It has nothing to do with the two younger brothers. As long as they It can still be outside, there are people who are filial to the two mothers.

He had thought about this idea for a long time, and then he called his eunuch over, gave some instructions in the eunuch's ear, and continued to chat in a daze as if nothing had happened.

At night, when the fourth elder brother took his sons into the carriage, he heard someone calling fourth master from behind.

Looking under the light, it turned out to be the fifteenth eunuch, who followed quietly at this time, then something happened, the fourth elder brother asked the sons to get into the carriage first, and called the eunuch to speak quietly.

At this time, the fourth elder brother's carriage was full of joy and laughter, and several princesses and elder brothers had already packed the carriage to the brim.At this time, Hongshi was actually still digging things out of his purse, belt, sleeves, and other places where things could be hidden.

"This is the small wine glass used at this banquet, with sterling silver lettering on it. I counted the brothers and sisters in our family and got one for each of you. If you want to pair up, tell me, and I will give it to you tomorrow." You take it."

After Honghui saw it, he couldn't help frowning. What's wrong with you?Go out and even eat and take!Is this just walking around without finishing eating?

"Hurry up and hide these things and send them back tomorrow. If Ama sees them later, I will spank your ass."

Hongshi was not afraid, "I have to go tomorrow, Ama will never spank my ass, she will only spank my ass after this incident is over. Even if it is worth it, you say you will follow me today." Huang Ma has been practicing for a whole day and I haven't seen you bring back anything, so it's not as good as me."

"Is stealing from a party a special skill?"

"How can this be called stealing? I just took our things from the garden to our house."

"What's from our house?" Hong Hui said sharply, "It's from Mafa."

"Mafa didn't separate the family from Uncle Ama and the others. Mafa's is ours."

What split? !The landlord, Laocai, divides the family and distributes hundreds of acres of land to his sons at most. What do you want Mafa to distribute to his uncles?

The brat is not young, but he actually said such a thing, are you looking for death?Or do you want to court death?Or do you want to seek death quickly?

Hong Hui couldn't bear it any longer, grabbed the boy, pressed him on his lap, and slapped him on the buttocks, and taught him a lesson while beating him, "You just owe a lesson, it's better if I beat you today than a big crime will fall on you in the future There are too many, do you know that you are wrong, and the mistakes are too outrageous."

Hongshi yelled, and as soon as he uttered his voice, his two sisters held him down and stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth.

Then the big brother's slap fell down, the child was wronged to death, I brought you things, but you all joined forces to deal with me, you are all a bunch of bad guys.

And at this moment, the two big sisters took the wine glasses from other people's hands. Before the carriage left, a group of people discussed to send the glasses back as soon as possible.

"You don't have to send it back to the place where the banquet was held, but give it to the eunuch of the empress, they will take care of the matter."

After several people discussed it, the two older daughters of the fourth elder brother jumped out of the carriage. When they passed by the fourth elder brother, they said that some clothes had been left by the empress and wanted to get them back.

The fourth elder brother also wanted to have a few more words with the eunuch, so he nodded and watched the two daughters walk away quickly.He didn't ask why he didn't send his servants to fetch it.

In the carriage, the other three girls were silently staring at Hongshi, whose face was full of tears, with complicated expressions.

You said you were thinking about your brothers and sisters, we should thank you, but these things you brought back are really the root of the crime.I don't know what to say about him right now.

After a while, the two sisters came back, and the fourth elder brother had finished talking. The fourth elder brother watched the two daughters get into the carriage, and squeezed in himself.

I was in a good mood when I squeezed in. This carriage is full of children, so being a father is naturally a bit gratifying.But when he saw Hongshi's face was full of tears and his eyes were red from crying, he let go of the relief again.

"How is this going?"

Before Hong Hui could speak, Hong Shi complained, "My elder brother beat me, beat me hard."

"It's definitely you who should hit you. Now you shut up and don't talk, let your elder brother tell you, what's going on?"

Honghui told the whole thing quickly, and then emphasized that the cup had been returned by the two sisters. Hongshi didn't think he was wrong, "I didn't take it alone, everyone took it. Why do you say that?" Me? Why hit me?"

"I beat you because you regarded the palace as your home. Of course, stealing is also bad. Both crimes are punishable, so beating you is considered light." Hong Hui said to him.

The fourth elder brother did not express his position the whole time, and closed his eyes. Everyone felt that the incident was over. However, at dinner at night, the fourth elder brother said to Fujin: "Is Hong Yun feeling better today? If his condition improves, let him go tomorrow."

Before Fujin came to speak, Hong Yun, a child who rarely went out, immediately replied with glowing eyes, "It's ready, my son can go tomorrow."

The fourth elder brother doesn't know how the other brothers deal with this matter, but no matter from the perspective of being a man or the current situation, Hongshi must teach him a good lesson and teach him at home.Don't let him out until you know the danger of this matter and know that it is wrong to steal things.

The next two days were lackluster, after all, new things happened on the first day, no matter how grand the banquet was, eating it for three consecutive days would only make people feel tired.

After the end of the third day, the princes also drank a little wine, and everyone bid farewell at the gate of Changchun Garden.

The third child has always been in a carriage, and the fourth child sometimes rides a horse and sometimes rides a carriage, depending on the actual situation.In the past two days, I chose a large carriage because I took the children with me.

Lao Wu and Lao Qi always rode horses. This time, Lao Wu also chose a carriage because he drank some wine and took a few children with him.

Before getting on the car, he yelled at Lao Qi, "Brother, I drank a lot, don't get on the horse."

Lao Qi is very confident in himself, "I never get drunk from a thousand cups, and this time I didn't drink a few sips. In addition, I haven't been in a carriage or a sedan chair for so many years, and I have always been riding a horse. Sit down right now, don't worry so much, go back quickly."

These elder brothers have left, and there are still many brothers waiting to set off. At this time, Lao Qi has carried forward his style of being an elder brother for the first time, watching the brothers get on the horse, sit on the sedan chair, and get on the car. He got in the car, sent everyone away, and then led his sons back on horseback.

This horse of his is the horse king chosen by everyone, plus he was in charge of the Taipusi, and the Taipusi was in charge of all the horse farms in the north. Except for the tribute horses, the rest of the good horses can be chosen by him. , This is also the reason why he doesn't like to sit in a sedan chair or a carriage. After all, his mount is a one-in-a-million horse. If you don't let these horses run, do you want to wait to die in the stable?

In the night, he trotted a few steps on his horse, turned around and shouted to his sons to follow up, when he swung his whip down and raised the whip, the horse suddenly stood upright, neighed and then started to run wildly, in the night For a moment, I couldn't see where this person and horse were going, only heard the splash of water coming from a distance, and then the sound of horse's hooves disappeared.

Something happened, definitely something big happened.

Lao Qi brought a lot of people, his own guards and eunuchs and his son's eunuchs and guards.

At this moment, everyone held up torches to search, and while reporting to Changchun Garden, they looked around, and they came to a puddle within a short distance.

Everyone shouted on the edge of the pit, and with good eyesight, they found a corner of Lao Qi's clothes floating on the water.

These people with good water skills immediately jumped down and swam towards the corner of their clothes, and Lao Qi was indeed in the water.

A group of people brought him up, making him spit water and trying to wake him up.The imperial guards from Changchun Garden came with the imperial physician. After some first aid, the person's life was not in danger, but he still didn't wake up.

After all, this wilderness is not a place to stay for a long time, everyone carried Lao Qi back to Changchun Garden.

Kangxi and Tian Mi both changed their clothes and waited for someone to come back. Lao Qi was carried over dripping wet. His three sons were so frightened that they couldn't cry.

Tian Mi quickly hugged the three children in her arms to comfort them, Kangxi's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

The old seventh is too important, he is about to lead the army to set off, and the coach suddenly has an accident at this time...

"Where's Lao Qi's horse?"

Then a guard replied: "There are a few brothers left to fish for horses. Your Majesty, do you want to send some people to the palace? Whether it is a man slave or a servant of the palace, you can always ask something."

"Let Yang Dan come over, don't let him come to Changchun Garden, let him go directly to his seventh brother's garden. Anyone who is suspected will be arrested, and then let people take a good look at whether the horse has been tampered with. .”

In Kangxi's mind, he believed that the horse had been tampered with.Soon someone came to report that there were several silver needles on the horse's back, and one end of the silver needle was in the saddle. As long as someone sat on it, it would hurt the horse's back once it ran.

The imperial doctor also came to report that Lao Qi is very dangerous now, it just depends on whether he can wake up tonight, and Lao Qi broke a leg because of the fall, even if he wakes up, he can't go out again with a broken leg up.

Kangxi didn't sleep all night, and Yang Dan hurried into the palace at dawn.

Seeing Yang Dan coming in, two lights shot out from Kangxi's face, he sat up straight and asked, "Say, what's going on?"

"My son checked the stables, and found that the horses of Seventh brother had eaten a kind of grass. After eating this grass, the horses are easy to get excited. Excessive consumption will cause the five internal organs of the horse to fail. My son followed the vine and checked the feed. The man slave of the horse, there was a man slave who disappeared, and he searched for it in the middle of the night, and when he found it, he was already cold."

Sure enough, this is man-made!

Kangxi leaned back on the chair exhaustedly, "Who do you think did it? Did it come from the northwest or the capital?"

It's hard for Yang Dan to say that there is no evidence, but Kangxi didn't listen to Yang Dan's answer at all. He said to himself, "How could those barbarians from the northwest touch the stables of the palace? There are so many of them. Horse, how could people count on him to ride this horse today. Take all precautions, and family thieves are hard to guard against! The people behind this scene are still in the capital!"
