Qianqing Palace.

Yinti knelt on the ground in front of the bed, lowered his head and said cautiously: "That's the way it is. Regarding this matter, I have already told the prince before. The prince said that the matter was important, and he couldn't make up his mind, so he let it go." All the ministers have come to report to you."

Kangxi, who was half leaning on the bed, frowned deeply when he heard this, and looked suspiciously at the two kneeling in front of him. Yinfeng hadn't come to greet him for a long time, but today he suddenly appeared with Yinti, but it was Tell him that someone is planning to assassinate him in the name of Yinti, and he came to make decisions for him, but this person is Yinzhen.

Kangxi was really annoyed when he heard it. Six of his sons had died so far for the crown prince, but now Yinfeng came to tell him that Yinzhen was going to attack him and blame Yinti again. What do you think when you hear it?

"Things are all just your guesses, without evidence, how I will decide for you," Kangxi said impatiently: "I can't send someone to take down the fourth child just because of your few words, right? "

Knowing that Kangxi would say that, Yinfeng was not in a hurry, and replied unhurriedly: "I am sure that he will attack Erchen because he has been forced to do so, and not only because of Minister, after the matter is completed, I am afraid that he will also attack you."

Kangxi's face changed when he heard that: "What do you mean? You mean he not only intends to murder you, but also wants to kill the king and usurp the throne?!"

"Yes," Yinfeng said: "Because I know that the person who really attacked Old Seventeen was actually him. Although I have no conclusive evidence to convict him, I have tried several times. He really felt guilty, because of this, he wanted to kill his son in a hurry to silence him, and he was even more afraid that his son would not let him go in the future."

"You...what are you talking about...you said Yinli was pushed downstairs by him?"

"Hasn't Khan Ama always been suspicious?" Yinfeng looked up at Kangxi, and replied calmly: "That night, Lao Ba kept saying that he followed Lao Si into the pagoda. Speaking of the fourth child, if he really shirks responsibility, he has been arguing with Erchen all the time, shouldn't it be more like his style to push it to Erchen? Moreover, later, Erchen saw that the back of the left hand of the fourth child was scratched, I found this Buddhist bead again at the place where Yinli dropped it under the pagoda. My son thought, maybe Yinli was trying to grab his hand while struggling, but in the end he tore apart the Buddhist bead he was wearing. scratched him."

Kangxi stared blankly at the Buddhist bead brought in front of him, and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, Xu imagined Yinli's desperate struggle before his death, his eyes were red, and he asked again in a hoarse voice : "Why didn't you tell me when you were in Mount Wutai?"

"The eighth man has already been executed by you, not to mention that his death was not wronged. He is inseparable from the death of the tenth man and the poisoning of the fourteenth man. My son feels that there is no need to avenge him, but it is a side issue. Furthermore, my son's hand Even the bead here cannot be conclusive evidence, even if you bring him up for interrogation, Your Majesty, he can bite him to death and refuse to admit that he is lying."

Looking at Yinfeng's indifferent expression when he said "there is no need to avenge him", Kangxi felt a little cold, even if what he said was not wrong, even if Yinhu's death was wronged this time, what he did before Those things that happened to him were entirely his own fault, but Yinfeng's attitude of wishing he didn't die earlier still made Kangxi unhappy.

Yinti saw Kangxi staring at Yinrong with complex eyes, guessed what he was thinking, and pressed Yinrong's sleeve without any trace to remind him. Don't do his business either.

"Besides," Yinfeng said again, "there is one more thing that I haven't told the emperor before. That time in the palace outside the Great Wall, the eunuch next to Erchen went to find Erchen before the fire broke out. Seeing the panic-stricken fourth child, my son-in-law saw him sneaking around to burn paper money for Yin Xiang in the middle of the night, and asked him if he would not save him, but he did not deny it."

Hearing this, Kangxi's eyes widened in astonishment: "Are you telling the truth?!"

"I dare not arrange such things to slander my brother at will. It was only after that incident that I realized that he was such a cruel person. So this time, if it is said that he killed the little monk and blamed my brother , and then pushed the Seventeenth Brother down the tower who had witnessed the truth, I thought it was not unusual at all."

After the shock, Kangxi was completely numb. After a while, he closed his eyes to hide the complicated emotions in his eyes, and asked him: "... What do you want me to do?"

"My son asked the emperor to cooperate with my son to play a show and lead the snake out of the hole."

Coming out of Qianqing Palace and walking to a place where no one was around, Yinti asked Yinfeng in a low voice: "The old man seems to have doubts about the two of us?"

"In the past, it was you and me who wished you to die the most. You can see your performance in the past two years. It's strange that he doesn't doubt it," Yinfeng said angrily: "He agreed to this on the surface, but he must have agreed to it behind the scenes. He will guard against us, but it doesn't matter, as long as he is willing to cooperate, we will wait to see someone reveal their true colors."

Yinti held his hand: "No matter what, it's still the same sentence, be careful."

After returning to Beijing from Mount Wutai, the emperor fell ill and his condition has been fluctuating. The last time the weather suddenly turned cold at the end of spring, his condition suddenly worsened. Came here to ask questions and explain the matter. After the sudden aggravation of his illness this time, he became bedridden. Not to mention summoning officials, it was almost difficult to even speak. Every day, several princes took turns serving medicine and feeding them. All the medicine was vomited out again, to the point where it was difficult to even swallow food, all the imperial doctors were helpless, except to plead guilty and shake their heads, privately began to hint that it was time to prepare for the emperor's funeral.

The crown prince began to fully act as an agent of state affairs. He went to court, summoned officials, and reviewed memorials. At most, other people could only help from the sidelines. When troubles arise, everyone knows well that the emperor is afraid that he is going through life. Once Sheng Jia dies, a new emperor will ascend the throne and change the dynasty.

Of course, in fact, only Yinfeng himself knows that all of these are just plays for outsiders. Not only does he have to report to Kangxi every day for all government affairs, and he will follow his instructions to deal with him according to his wishes. Kangxi also has his confidantes. The eyeliner watched him from the side, the so-called power in his hands, if it was really that simple, he wouldn't have to suffer for so many years.

Xinuang Pavilion.

Kangxi moved to Dongnuange to recuperate since he became seriously ill, and Yinreng and other princes took turns to stay here to help deal with political affairs. Today, Yinreng was on his turn to serve Kangxi with medicine. There are Yinti, Yinzhen and Yinqi who are sorting out the scattered scriptures.

Yinti looked at the folder under his command, and muttered absently in a low voice: "The old man's condition has worsened again, and I don't know how many days are left. I'm afraid I will change my identity soon..."

Transforming from the prince to the emperor's brother, isn't it also a change of identity.

"Brother, is there any dissatisfaction?" Yin Qi, who had always kept quiet, asked first this time.

Yinti glanced at him in surprise, then smiled again, and asked him, "What's my dissatisfaction?"

"Brother didn't seem to get along well with the prince in the past..."

"That's all happened in the past." Yinti interrupted him, disapprovingly said: "In the future, the crown prince will be really Yu Ji, and he will see that I saved his life twice, so I'm afraid I won't be able to argue with me." , I can keep this prince position and live a peaceful life, even if I am an idle prince, I have nothing to be dissatisfied with."

"Brother really thinks so?"

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Yinti asked him back.

Yin Qi also smiled, meaning unclear, and looked away without asking any more questions.

Yinti's eyes inadvertently turned to the side, who seemed to be looking at the book in his hand seriously, and hadn't said a word all this time, but Yinzhen, who was in a daze and frowning unconsciously, asked him with a smile: "What does the fourth brother think?"

Yinzhen raised his eyes to look at him, then his eyes fell back on the book in his hand, and he replied calmly: "After the emperor has been on the throne for a hundred years, it is only natural for the crown prince to ascend the throne. enough."

I really can pretend to be pretending, but I am afraid that I was panicked and scared early in the morning when I said so.

In the current situation, almost all civil and military officials in the court have determined that the crown prince is in sight, that is, this month's matter, but once Yinreng's yellow robe is added, he will definitely be the first to have no way out. There is no choice.

Yinti, however, has no sympathy for him at all. It is his own fault that he has come to this point, and he can't blame others.

Half an hour later, Yinfeng came back and said that Kangxi had already taken medicine and fell asleep. He casually picked up the booklet at hand and said casually: "The old man just woke up for a while and gave instructions. Three days later Let me go for Meng Xia's rain ceremony."

Every year, the three major ceremonies in the Temple of Heaven, winter worship, spring praying for valleys, and summer praying for rain are all grand ceremonies that the emperor must attend. Over the years, Kangxi has done it himself every time, and never pretended to others. This is the first time, he said The crown prince will attend the sacrificial ceremony on his behalf.

But right now Kangxi is so ill that he can't get up, so it's normal for Yinreng to take his place. The other two didn't ask any more questions, but Yinzhen didn't say anything, but there was something hidden in his lowered eyes. The coldness of not going.
