[Qing Chuan] No pet little promise

At the end of September, Emperor Kangxi returned to the capital with the glory of returning triumphantly.

From getting rid of Oboi when he was young and taking over power, to pacifying Wu Sangui, the Communist Party, and now to the military exploits in northern Xinjiang, Kangxi has indeed made extraordinary achievements in terms of the emperors of all dynasties.

One person's glory is another's death knell.

At the beginning, the elder brother tried his best to keep calm, deal with the state affairs, and fulfill his "important task" of supervising the country. After more and more details about this battle came out, he simply stayed behind closed doors.

Until the soldiers who ransacked the house immediately came to the door.

In fact, as early as the news of Kangxi's triumphant return came, the atmosphere in the court changed quietly.Kangxi has not yet returned to the court, and the memorials of impeaching the elder brother for using power for personal gain and forming a party and dictatorship began to be handed up. What's more, he pointed out that he murdered blood relatives, colluded with the enemy, and had ulterior motives, which are unforgivable crimes.

A more serious blow than these charges is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was said to have committed suicide in fear of crime, returned from the summer palace and personally testified that his eldest brother intended to kill him. Fortunately, he got the news in advance, feigned death and escaped, hiding outside the palace.

When Kangxi returned to the palace, his first order was to order the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment to take soldiers and horses to search the Prince Zhi's mansion.

***

The sky was cloudy.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Kangxi stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, silent for a long time.

Under the solemn atmosphere, cronies such as Liang Jiugong dared not speak, and stood quietly in the corner.

Kangxi's mood was like the clouds piled up outside. The good son he had raised had finally come to the moment of reckoning.

Heavy and regular footsteps broke the silence of the hall.

Four capable guards escorted the criminal into the hall.

The elder brother has not seen for a long time, but his spirit is much better than Kangxi expected.

Looking at the tall son kneeling in front of him, Kangxi only felt a burst of resentment in his heart. Even though he had already known about his collusion with Galdan, he was still uncontrollably angry when the matter came to an end.

He has always attached great importance to this eldest son. Even though he is not as close as the prince, he has tried his best to cultivate him, and finally produced this kind of highly poisonous fruit.

Wei Rong thought it was right before.In fact, Kangxi already knew the secret of Big Brother.

After the crown prince failed to frame the elder brother for having an affair with Galdan, although Kangxi was furious on the surface and dealt with many close officials around the prince, he was a suspicious person, and afterward he secretly sent people to investigate the elder brother's military exploits.

Everything was carried out very secretly, and the final result shocked him.Eldest Brother actually colluded with Galdan.Even forced the concubine Ling to mess up the harem.

Kangxi almost vomited blood with anger.But in order to avoid turmoil in the government, he kept everything secret, and even more so, he planned to plot against Galdan.

This time, using the excuse of the prince's immorality, he deliberately left the elder brother behind to supervise the country, and the correspondence between the elder brother and Galdan, and the military plan explained were all deliberately forged by the Ministry of War.Relying on these, Galdan was led into the trap step by step.

What really distressed Kangxi was not the big elder brother's affair with the enemy for the sake of military exploits, but that he colluded with Ce Wang and wanted to...

Thinking of this incident, Kangxi felt his chest bursting with anger.

"How can I feel sorry for you, you evil beast, murdering fathers and emperors, messing up the harem, and committing crimes above and below. Throughout the ages, there has never been a person as devoid of conscience as you! Even Jie Zhou has no such heart and dog's lungs! !"

Kangxi's voice trembled, he almost wanted to cut the person in front of him into pieces.

The eldest elder brother knew that he was bound to die, so he simply smashed the jar and raised his head suddenly, "Father, how has he ever loved us sons with sincerity?"

Kangxi was so angry that he almost fainted, "When did I treat you so poorly, tell me!"

He had great expectations for this son since he was a child. When he was a child, he was enlightened in bowing horses, and he once personally gave instructions, claiming that he had done his best to him.

The elder brother stuck his neck, "It's all about success and failure!"

Kangxi was so angry that he pulled out the long sword from his waist, and rushed forward to chop off the rebellious son with a sword.

"Huang Ama, absolutely not!"

It was the crown prince who screamed and rushed in to stop him. He hugged Kangxi's hand, with a sad expression on his face, begging bitterly: "Father, why do you want to dirty your hands for this kind of people?"

"Is he still worthy to be the son of man?" Kangxi cursed, the long sword slashed on the gold brick floor next to the elder brother, making a harsh sound.

The elder brother was restrained by the four guards, his eyes were red, he looked at the scene of his father's kindness and filial piety, he became even more resentful, he gritted his teeth and said: "In the eyes of my father, this is the only one who is your good son. Haha, what are you talking about now?" , I’m just defeated now.”

He stared at the prince coldly, like a poisonous snake: "You will not be better than me! Sooner or later, you will kneel here like me, waiting to be slaughtered like a pig or a dog."

The prince's heart trembled when he saw his eyes full of hatred.

Kangxi next to him was already yelling furiously: "Drag it for me immediately! If you drag it down, you will die!"

The guards began to drag Big Brother out.

The prince came to his senses, and quickly persuaded him: "Ama Huang, be careful, maybe the eldest brother is just fascinated by ghosts for a while."

The elder brother has no chance to stand up anymore, the prince is not stingy to plead for this kind of bereaved dog, to show his benevolence to his brother.Anyway, even if Big Brother survived, his treatment would be worse than death.

He helped Kangxi to the table and sat down.Kangxi had a gloomy face, and after a while, he said slowly: "The sinners should first be abolished from their titles and imprisoned first." It is true that directly killing his son will hurt his reputation, especially the crime of forcing his concubine to be tortured and murdering the emperor's father. Too publicized.The Qing Dynasty had always advocated loyalty and filial piety to build the country, and spreading such incidents would damage the face of the royal family.

Concubine Hui also had to deal with it slowly.

And Xi Concubine...

Thinking of what this crazy woman did, Kangxi was furious again.

After a while, he suppressed his anger and turned to look at the prince, "You have been wronged during this time."

The prince immediately knelt down, "Huang Ama is too out of touch when she says these words, even if there is a grievance, it is because of the villain, besides, this son-in-law wanted to do his best for Huang Ama's expedition, but he only wished he could not go to battle to kill the enemy Now, although I have been wronged for a while, it can help the overall situation of the war, what kind of grievances do you have?"

Kangxi showed a gratified expression, "I knew that evil animal was plotting against you and plotting against you. For the sake of the overall situation, I can only follow the scheme, and this time also damaged your reputation. I will make an order tomorrow to clarify everything for you."

The prince was naturally very grateful, the father and son talked for a while, the prince saw that Kangxi was tired, so he took his leave.

***

After leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation and walking towards the East Palace, the prince's face gradually became gloomy.

Do you really have no resentment?

Ha, his good father!Knowing that he was framed for having an affair with the Chen family, he was imprisoned without saying a word.

Even if you want to set up a situation like this, you should at least let him know.Treat him like a criminal.He didn't tell the truth until he needed to feign death to escape.

Thinking back to those few months of fear and tension, like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, the prince's heart is still full of fear.

Ha, what my elder brother said just now is really true.

In Huang Ama's eyes, she is just a pawn.Use it when you need it, beat it when you don't need it, what kind of father-son relationship, huh...

***

Liang Jiugong entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation and respectfully reported the news that elder brother had settled down.

Kangxi sat behind the table and gave a low hum.

His eyes were full of fatigue, not only because of the big elder brother's beast, but also because of the prince.

There was never a moment when she was so disappointed with the prince.

The prince and Chen Changzai had an affair, they were calculated and wronged.

But neither Elder Brother nor Concubine Xi had the ability to tie the prince into Chen Changzai's room.

Why did the two get together? The answer is very simple. The Chen family was originally a pawn arranged by the Hesheli family, that is, the prince's person.

Afterwards, he ordered people to investigate carefully, and he found out that Chen's father, as the county magistrate, had been saved by Hesheli's life.The Hershey's steward saw that her daughter was beautiful, so she sent her to the palace, thinking of helping her as a concubine.It's a pity that as soon as he entered the palace, he was tricked and his appearance was ruined.

After finding the Immortal Water, Xi Concubine helped him recover and thus gained favor.

She is a member of the Hesheli family, and I am afraid that during the period when I doted on the Chen family, the food, daily life, and daily conversations would pass through her to the prince's ears.

He wanted the prince to confess to himself about the relationship between him and the Chen family.

As long as the crown prince is willing to admit his mistakes frankly, he can forgive him for spying on the holy car this time, but unfortunately...

Kangxi smiled wryly, a kind of fatigue that he had never felt before came to his heart, whether he was really old.
