The Forest of Red Mansions

The author has something to say: The original ending of this article is - Seize the Inheritance - The Fourth Master ascends the throne - the end. However, because the author is not capable enough to write tricks, he cannot write the treacherous Nine Dragons Seizing the Inheritance, so I think twice and cut it. This part was dropped, and it was replaced with a brief explanation, but this ending seems to be suspected of being unfinished.Discussed with the editor, and I will add a few episodes in the future. In the past few days, I will also look through the previous article to see if there is anything that I forgot to explain. I really have no way to write about this part. Machinations, wars, fights and so on have always been my shortcoming. My relatives who have been following the text should also have an impression. There are almost nothing in the previous articles that involves courts or machinations. This is it The reason is that I have been trying to avoid touching that part. It’s not that I just cut the content to fool people in order to catch up with the ending.

Sorry for the bad parts, I will make up some episodes in the past few days, if you are interested, you can watch it.

When Guo Luoluo temporarily recovered from the anger and hatred towards Nian Wanying, and realized his current situation, he couldn't help feeling desperate and remorseful.

She was naked, and her innocent body was defiled by a lowly guard!

Originally Yinhu dismissed her, but now...

Looking at the filthy traces on his naked body, Guo Luoluo couldn't help feeling sad, and when he saw the man lying on the ground beside him, he was filled with hatred. He casually picked up the stool next to him and smashed it. He hit his head hard again and again, his face was ferocious and terrifying like a ghost.

I don't know how long it took, Guo Luoluo's arm was so sore that he couldn't use any more strength, so he threw the stool and sat on the ground weakly, in a daze. At this moment, the man's head had been completely smashed, Hong Hong The white stuff flowed all over the ground, disgusting and frightening.

In the end, this matter was suppressed by Yinhu, not to protect Guo Luoluo.

Unless you are a fool, you will steal someone in someone else's house when your man is still around. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that there is something tricky about Guo Luoluo's case.

So Yinhu suppressed the matter, and some days after returning, he announced that Guo Luoluo was seriously ill, and refused to let her go out, and politely refused others to visit him, and put her under house arrest in disguise.

At first, no one thought much about it, but after a long time, Guo Luoluo's "disease" was still not getting better, and Yinhu asked the imperial doctor to see her, so some people murmured in their hearts. It was only then that Hu "had no choice" to tell the reason - Guo Luoluo was flirting with a guard in the mansion, and there seemed to be some unclear relationship.

Kangxi exploded when he heard it. Although this son is not the son he values ​​and loves, he is also his seed. What's more, such behavior is to trample the dignity of the entire royal family under his feet. If people find out, the whole of Aixinjueluo will be reduced to a laughing stock!

This is how Kangxi, who has always cherished his reputation, can not be angry or hate?He only wished that that prostitute who didn't abide by women's morals would be cut into pieces and killed!

But he couldn't!This kind of thing can't be spread at all, so he can't use drastic means to clean up Guo Luoluo's family.

Looking at the sad and angry son in front of him, it was rare for Kangxi not to express his anger, but to comfort him.

The same man, what kind of cheating feeling is it to put a green hat on his head? He can't help but feel a little sympathetic to this son just by imagining it. It's not good to marry a wife!

"In a few days, let Guo Luoluo die of illness, and I will point out a good one for you in the next year's draft."

Yinhu agreed with his lips, but he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

About a month later, fourth master escorted a group of prisoners back to the capital.

These are all corrupt officials from Shanxi, and a group of people who have been in the same ranks without exception have all used the money for this disaster relief. The richness of the property copied from their homes is even more appalling. It is really like mountains of gold and silver, and there are countless antiques.

And these are just small heads, the real big heads are given to the backer behind them--the prince's uncle, Suo Etu, who has power over the government and the public!

Every "filial piety" in the account book is clearly remembered, and Suo'etu is indisputable. On the same day, he was dismissed by the emperor in a rage and imprisoned in the clan mansion, and ordered the fourth master to search his mansion, and all the property was confiscated. After entering the national treasury, all the family members were thrown into prison, and many Suo'etu party members also fell from their horses one after another. They were either dismissed from their posts and taken into custody, exiled for thousands of miles, or executed immediately.

Overnight, Suo'etu's party power, which had dominated the court for many years, quickly disintegrated. Anyone who was even a little bit involved with Suo'etu was terrified and insecure, especially when it was rumored that "the prince knelt down to plead for Suo'etu, He was reprimanded and punished by the Holy One to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors." This news made everyone even more anxious all day long.

The emperor... clearly wants to take the opportunity to cut off the crown prince's wings!

Suo'etu is the prince's uncle, and he has always been a hardcore gangster. The so-called Suo'etu's henchman is actually more appropriate to call him a gangster. How could the emperor not know?Now that he strikes so mercilessly, I am afraid that the power of the crown prince will already make the emperor fearful.

After figuring this out, many people are ready to move. Now the emperor is already dissatisfied with the crown prince, and the crown prince's position is on the verge of collapse. With more effort, it is not impossible to pull the crown prince down.

The thing that everyone expected in their dreams happened like this. How can those princes who have been living under the shadow of the prince for many years not be moved, how can they sit still?Obviously, the big brother party and the eighth master party in the court became more and more active, and even the third child, who had always been vicious but not courageous, began to move around.

For several days in a row, the papers of impeachment of the prince were almost full of Kangxi's books, extravagant, arrogant and arrogant, supporting the face...the prince was charged with everything true or false, wishing to list the "Hundred Crimes of the Prince" , but Kangxi, who had always loved and sheltered the prince, never favored the prince anymore, only scolded him bloody, and extended his confinement indefinitely, which was equivalent to accepting the prince's power in a disguised form.

Such an attitude can't help but make people's imagination run wild. Although the crown prince has not been deposed yet, many people firmly believe that the crown prince has lost his sacred heart, and it is only a matter of time before he is deposed.

And this kind of speculation seems to have been verified when Kangxi named the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother as county kings, and more and more reused the eldest elder brother, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother. The voice of attacking and annihilating the prince in the court hall became more and more intense, and the court hall, which was originally just a dark tide, also began to become turbulent and filled with gunpowder and smoke. There are many fans.

Unexpected but reasonable, the fourth master is still calm and composed, what he was in the past is still what he is now, as if he has not been affected by the situation at all, he has no intention of forming a party for personal gain, he is still the loner in the court The cold-faced king, under the background of the hottest elder brother, third elder brother, and eighth elder brother, seems to be more and more weak.

Under the pressure of several elder brothers, the already declining prince became more and more restless, especially when he heard that Suo'etu was starved to death in the clan's mansion a few days later, as if he had died overnight. In that time, the prince completely changed himself.

I don't know if it was because he was really driven into a desperate situation, or because he was in a state of desperation, or because he was drunk today, or for some other reason, the prince who was hit hard became more and more eccentric, and was imprisoned in Yuqing Palace. Zhong actually doesn't think about introspection, instead, he spends his days drinking, beautifying and having fun, drunkenly dreaming and dying, whipping slaves and concubines at every turn, and corpses are carried out every so often.

Regarding this, Kangxi didn't say anything more, only the look of fatigue between his brows and eyes was very strong, as if he had aged a lot overnight, and a few silver threads were faintly exposed on his head.

"The emperor treats the prince differently after all." Lin Jinyao sighed softly, a little disappointed.

Unexpectedly, the fourth master sneered and said: "Compared to all our brothers, the crown prince is the most important, but compared to himself... why did you become the crown prince to this point?"

Lin Jinyao was stunned for a moment, it was obvious that there was something in her words, "Sir, don't be fooled, tell me quickly, I'm so curious."

Fourth Master was half lying down, holding her in his arms and playing with her soft hair, but the expression on his face was somewhat indescribable.

"Suo'etu has spent half of his life in the court. How can he be an ordinary person who can climb to such a height? Not to mention other things, at least he still has a brain, and a person who obviously has a brain, how can he commit a crime?" That kind of low-level mistake? Such a large sum of money, if you don’t have a penny, how can you hide it? Even if he covers the sky with one hand, he will definitely not be able to cover it up. Once it explodes, the emperor will be furious We must strictly investigate to the end, and by then no one will be able to escape.”

"Although Suo'etu also loves money, he obviously loves power more than money. Faced with such a large sum of money, he will definitely want to make a fortune out of it, but unless he has lost his mind, he will do this kind of thing." If you swallow all the stupid things in one breath, you won't be afraid of choking yourself to death?"

Hearing this, Lin Jinyao suddenly had an absurd guess in her heart, "Master means..."

"Didn't you already guess it." The fourth master sneered and said, "But Suo'etu is not wronged. Over the years, his henchmen have searched for people's fat and people's anointing, and the account book is also true. Just look at the things copied from his home , is enough to show his ability, the home is really magnificent and luxurious, and the palace of Yong County is so many times more gorgeous than Ye. The corrupt officials who are attached to Suo'etu this time really did take advantage of the money Yes, but originally I just planned to scrape some oil and water down, but the emperor had been staring at Suo'etu's henchmen for a long time, and got the news immediately, so he used some means to stuff them all in and choked them to death. "

"Besides, Suo'etu is also extremely arrogant and domineering. Can you imagine how he dared to ask the court officials to kneel down? He even reprimanded and humiliated his parents, wives and children at every turn. He is extremely arrogant. And this person is very ambitious. Dedicated to motivating the prince, and privately provoking the father-son relationship between the prince and the emperor, and the brotherhood with the brothers, it can be said that the prince and the elder brother will fight to the point where they are now, and most likely it is Suo Etu and Mingzhu who are behind it It was caused by fanning the flames, and the prince and the emperor have always had a good relationship, but in recent years, the estrangement has deepened, and Suo'etu also took most of the credit."

"How can the emperor tolerate such a person?" If it were him, he would absolutely not be able to tolerate him. "In the early years, the prince was such a glorious person. He was erudite, versatile, wise, elegant and personable. Those great Confucians were ashamed, Tang Bin resigned several times for this and dared not teach the prince again, and none of the officials dared to teach the prince, and finally the emperor had no choice but to directly appoint a teacher himself, so the prince was relieved of the embarrassment of no one to teach."

"Besides, the crown prince's riding and shooting skills are also outstanding. When he was five years old, he shot five arrows in a row and hit one deer and four rabbits. When he was eight years old, he was disturbed by a tiger while hunting. Together with Prince Yu, he shot the tiger. Killing... It can be said that the prince is a perfect person, who knows everything and is good at everything."

"Beating the little prince is the target role model for our younger brothers. He is the most perfect prince in the eyes of all officials, and he is also the most proud son of the emperor. Now... it is brought by that screwer slave! It is that screwer dog slave, for his own sake. Selfish desires will ruin my most perfect crown prince!" At the end, Fourth Master gritted his teeth with a gloomy face.

Just thinking about the prince in the past and the prince now, he can't wait to tear those slaves alive, let alone the emperor who raised the prince himself and taught him with painstaking efforts?It is not too much to wish to eat its flesh and drink its blood.

Of course, the fourth master didn't say a word. In fact, the prince has become what he is now. In fact, the emperor has to bear a large part of the responsibility. Whether it is because he is afraid of the prince or to sharpen the prince, the huge pressure the emperor puts on the prince cannot be ignored. Under the intentional or unintentional indulgence of the emperor, the brothers became more and more powerful. They have already posed a great threat to the prince, how can the prince remain calm?

Even if it's not for that power, for the life of himself and his family, the prince has to fight!The prince is fundamentally different from other elder brothers. As the crown prince and the most legitimate orthodox heir of the Qing Dynasty, he simply cannot afford to lose!Once the prince loses power, no one who ascends to the throne will tolerate him or his descendants.

So he can't lose, he can't fight, he can't rush.

But the emperor didn't know whether he really didn't understand or ignored the prince's situation intentionally or unintentionally. He didn't appease the prince, but kept conniving the other sons to press on the prince every step of the way.

It was the emperor's specious rather than ambiguous attitude that was the most fundamental reason why the prince became more restless and unable to calm down.

Just like the case of Suo'etu this time, could the prince, who was so intelligent since he was a child, really fail to see through and guess the truth?He knew very well in his heart that this was a game set by the emperor for Suo Etu, and for his son. It was precisely because he knew it all too clearly that the prince was really desperate. Being injured, it was the weakest and most painful counterattack.

Just ask that aloof emperor, your son was forced to such a point by you, but are you satisfied?

Lin Jinyao felt a little depressed when she heard it. Although she had never seen the "former prince" mentioned by the fourth master, the wise and elegant prince who allowed Wen Yunwu and Wu, she had heard a lot of it. Her father mentioned the prince in the early years. He was full of praise and admiration, and now listening to Fourth Master's tone, it was obvious that he also sincerely admired and admired the prince at that time.

The prince is very powerful and highly respected, not only because he is a prince, but most importantly, it is probably because of his own talent and charm.

Now it has become... unavoidably embarrassing.

"Then the emperor has given up on the prince now?"

The fourth master pondered for a moment, and said: "I can't say for sure, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable." If you say you give up, why don't you abolish the prince?If he never gave up, why did those people attack the prince madly?

"Although I'm not sure about the emperor's attitude towards the prince, I know that those who are having fun now will definitely not be able to please." The fourth master sneered: "Don't say that the prince has not fallen yet, even if the prince is really If they fall down, they will be able to take the position? The more joyful they are, the worse the end will be. The emperor even defeated the prince he raised and loved the most, so how can he tolerate others coveting his position?"

"Our Emperor Ama..." Fourth Master sighed softly, his voice getting lower and lower, "Look, the Emperor didn't do anything, just showed a specious attitude, which made some people impatient Live ambition moves frequently, there is only one thing, everyone wants it, what should I do? Naturally, I can only grab it."

"Several people are fighting each other and no one is willing to give in. They fight and restrict each other. In this way, a delicate balance is temporarily formed. There is no big threat for the time being. At the same time, they are constantly fighting and fighting. Today you criticize me once, and tomorrow I will cheat you once as a gift in return. Once you come and go, you will be red-eyed, but you are evenly matched, and no one can do anything about it. What will happen in the end? The best result is that both sides will suffer. .”

"Both lose, and the fisherman gains..." Lin Jinyao murmured unconsciously, and suddenly shuddered, a chill in her heart.

Half of the crown prince has been abolished, and several ambitious and capable princes have suffered "heavy casualties". By then, who will be able to threaten the emperor again?No one can threaten his imperial power until the little brothers below grow up!

Your majesty... how cruel.

The days passed day by day in such a treacherous atmosphere. After staying in the capital for a while after the year, when the weather warmed up, Kangxi, who had always been restless, couldn't sit still anymore, and went out of the Great Wall in a mighty way.

In addition to a few young concubines, the emperor not only brought a few adult elder brothers with him this time, but also brought along a bunch of younger elder brothers. Surprisingly, the crown prince was also on the accompanying list. But the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother were left in the capital to supervise the country.

But at this time, Lin Jinyao's belly was about to give birth, and she started it as soon as Sheng Jia left Beijing.

It happened to be at night, and the fourth master just returned to the mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he was dizzy by the news. There was a painful scream, and suddenly his legs went limp, so he couldn't sit down.

"How is Fujin?"

"Fu Jin just went in. I think it will take a long time. Do you want to eat first?"

How could fourth master have any intention of eating?For a woman to give birth is like stepping into the gate of hell with one foot. His family, Fujin, has such a slender body and such a delicate body, can he bear it?Just in case... Bah, bah, bah, there's no chance, his family Fujin will be fine!

The fourth master was so nervous that he kept thinking wildly. Hearing Lin Jinyao's suppressed and painful groans from time to time in the room, he felt that his heart was tightly clenched, almost as if he was suffocating. My heart trembled, I was afraid that this master would have something good or bad.

Yinhu lived next door, so naturally she knew what was going on here immediately, and hurried over without even having time to change her clothes.

The woman he loves is giving birth to another man, and he doesn't know why he came here to seek guilt, but the moment he heard the news, he panicked in his heart, and before he had time to think about it, his body had already made a mistake. After making a choice, by the time he realized it, everyone was already sitting next to fourth master.

At this moment, fourth master didn't care about him, all his heart was on his struggling wife and unborn child in the house, if he didn't have a sliver of reason, he would have rushed into the house.

Not long after, Lin Jinyao's natal family - father, younger sister and younger brother all rushed over. The queen mother and imperial concubine in the palace also sent people when they heard the news. A group of people waited anxiously.

As the cries of pain in the room became more and more miserable, Fourth Master, Lin Ruhai and the others were already so weak that they couldn't stand up. They could still feel their legs trembling while sitting there, and their faces were full of worry and anxiety. Fourth Master Unknowingly, his eyes were slightly red, and he sat upright with his hands clenched into fists, motionless like a wooden stake, only staring at the closed door.

Fortunately, this child is well-behaved and sensible. Lin Jinyao hasn't bothered Lin Jinyao much in the past few months. Although it is the first child, it is not very difficult. After all the trouble, it came out smoothly. up.

"Congratulations to Fujin, you are a little brother!"

Lin Jinyao only glanced at the child vaguely, then fell asleep from exhaustion, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The child is a piece of flesh and blood that fell from her body. She will not dislike it no matter if it is a boy or a girl, but for now, she still prefers to have a son. Gege’s life in the Qing Dynasty was too bitter, most of them were going to Mongolia to get married, and most of the princesses who married to Mongolia did not end well, and they could not escape the fate of childlessness and early death.

How could she be willing to let her sweetheart fall into such a situation?If you give birth to a daughter now, when the daughter grows up and can marry, the Holy Majesty will be fine now, and at that time, even the fourth master will have nothing to do with an imperial decree, why not in a few years, and by then... her... The daughter will definitely become the noblest and happiest princess in the Qing Dynasty!

Lin Jinyao fell into a coma with such a messy mind, and when the child was heard outside the room crying, everyone couldn't help crying with joy, and the fourth master rushed into the room immediately.

The room has not been cleaned yet, and there is a strong smell of blood. Lin Jinyao just lay quietly on the bed with her eyes closed, her face was pale, and her hair was soaked in sweat, sticking to her face in strands. , the whole person was in a panic.

Seeing this situation, Fourth Master staggered immediately, his voice trembling faintly, "What's wrong with Fujin?"

Nanny Saihan hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, Master, Fujin is very well, but fell asleep with exhaustion."

He breathed a sigh of relief, until he touched her warm hand, it felt as if his soul had returned to his place again.

"You girl, you really scared me to death." Fourth master complained in his mouth, but he smoothed her messy hair with extremely gentle hands, almost overflowing with tenderness.

……

Lin Jinyao didn't wake up until noon the next day. Seeing Si Ye sitting beside her, she couldn't help but twitched her lips, "Master..."

Fourth Master hurriedly poured a glass of water, helped her to feed it, "Is there any discomfort?"

Lin Jinyao shook her head, "Master, pour me another glass, I'm thirsty."

"There's no taboo on what's not going to die." Fourth master scolded lightly, poured her another glass of water as he said, and ordered the servant girl to bring the porridge that had been kept warm in the kitchen.

"Master, where's the child?" Lin Jinyao asked eagerly.

"Nurse is carrying her down to nurse her, she should be back soon."

Just as she was talking, the nanny walked in with a small baby in her arms.

As soon as she saw that small figure, Lin Jinyao couldn't move her eyes any longer, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and hug the little elder brother."

The nanny put the baby into her arms as she said, and softly instructed her in the posture of holding the baby.

The little soft body curled up in her arms, Lin Jinyao's whole body was a little stiff, and she didn't dare to move, for fear of accidentally hurting this fragile little guy, it took a while before she relaxed a little, and the two Looking at the child's wrinkled little face with dazed eyes without blinking, his heart is so soft that it is unreasonable.

"Master, why do I want to cry all of a sudden..." He choked up his sobs as he spoke.

"Stupid girl, you're already a mother-in-law, why are you crying all the time? Don't cry soon, you won't be able to cry during confinement."

Lin Jinyao sniffed her nose, shrunk her mouth to hold back the tears, and suddenly asked in surprise, "Master, do you think our son looks like a little curly hair?" face of surprise.

The fourth master had already found out, and couldn't help laughing: "My son is naturally Sui Ye."

"So grandpa, you were really a little curly hair when you were young?"

"How do you talk about it?" Fourth Master scolded with a smile, and continued, "My hair was really curly when I was young, but I couldn't see it after I kept a whip."

"What a pity." Lin Jinyao looked at Fourth Master's kind-hearted mind with regret, complaining about Qing Dynasty's ruinous hairstyle many times, and looking at her son's thick curly hair, her heart was filled with embarrassment.

"Master, why not call your son Juan Juan?"

Fourth Master: "..."

He wanted to save his son, but looking at her bawdy little eyes, without too much struggle, the fourth master gave up his son and chose his wife very neatly.

The birth of the eldest son has brought a lot of fun to the fourth prince's house, and Lin Jinyao's heart is devoted to her son. She will be amazed by the slightest change in the little guy, even though the little guy is still in the state of eating and sleeping. The stage of eating, but even if she was told to stare at her son's sleeping face for a whole day, she would not feel bored, and even the fourth master was thrown behind, making the fourth master feel sour and jealous. Hei, often holding his son's butt when Lin Jinyao is not paying attention, secretly grinding his teeth, telling the truth that a loving mother is a loser, but in fact, when it comes to doting children, he is no worse than his wife, and occasionally the child cries twice, he is even better than him The daughter-in-law is still in a hurry.

The cheating rules of holding grandchildren and not having children made him completely forget about it, and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't hold Xiao Juan for a while when he came back every day, even if he came back unfortunately, Xiao Juan slept with him He has to take a look before going back to his room, and he has to ask carefully about everything he eats and drinks every day before he can feel at ease, which shows how much he takes it seriously.

Unknowingly, Xiao Juanjuan is about to be full moon, and the fourth master is thinking about making a big deal, but who would have thought that an astonishing news would come back at this time-the eighteenth elder brother died of illness, the prince was deposed, the eldest elder brother, the third elder brother, etc. Brother is locked up!

"How could this happen?" Lin Jinyao was stunned, her heart was pounding continuously, and her whole body became inexplicably nervous.

Brother eighteen... If she remembers correctly, it should be Xue Baochai's first son, right?

The fourth master sat on the side holding Xiaojuan with a serious face, "Eighteen was seriously ill, the prince was indifferent, and was reprimanded by the emperor. The prince was not criticized and contradicted the emperor, and then the emperor found that the prince was sneaking close to his tent late at night, so he suspected the prince. Murder... order the prince to kneel before the kings and ministers, list his crimes, and abolish him."

Lin Jinyao said with difficulty: "Then what happened to the elder brother and the third elder brother?"

"Brother...I'm afraid that he was suddenly overwhelmed by the abolition of the crown prince. He was so stunned that he asked the emperor to kill the crown prince. The emperor Long Yan was furious and denounced him for being disloyal, unrighteous, filial and fraternal. The emperor exposed that Dao eldest brother Prince Zhenyan murdered his brother, and his heart can be punished."

"The brothers were biting each other, intending to take the opportunity to kill each other. The emperor was so furious that he immediately abolished the two princes and took them into custody together. After returning to Beijing, I am afraid that they will all be imprisoned." So far, the most important thing Several opponents were almost gone, but fourth master didn't feel happy at all, only feeling chilled and tired.

Even though the brothers were dazzled by the interests, but they developed to this point, as the father, the emperor, they couldn't get rid of the relationship, most of them were led by him.

This is the royal family, fathers are not fathers, sons are not sons, brothers and sisters are even more jokes, it is a blessing not to kill each other.

As soon as this shocking news came back, the atmosphere in the capital instantly became tense. Everyone in the Abandoned Party, the Big Brother Party, and the Three Brother Party was in danger, but the Ba Age Mansion was always crowded with people coming to visit every day.

It's not hard to understand, the grown-up elder brothers, the crown prince was abolished, the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother were abolished, and the fifth elder brother was raised by the queen mother. Up to now, he can't speak Chinese well, and Fujin is a Mongolian. There is absolutely no possibility of succession, and it is even more impossible for the seventh elder brother to have a leg disability.

Pulling back and forth, leaving aside the little elder brother who has not yet married and entered the court, the only ones who are more hopeful are the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother. However, the fourth elder brother has always been cold-faced and ruthless and never gets too close to the courtiers. It seems that there is no idea at all, only the eighth elder brother, who has a good personality, strong ability, knowledgeable, wise and shrewd, except for a little bit of background, everything else is very good, the opportunity is quite big, no wonder many people are rushing to hug him thigh up.

In a few days, Sheng Jia returned to the capital.

The first thing he did when he returned to the capital was that the emperor announced to the world that the crown prince would be abolished as the crown prince. He also asked people to set up a felt curtain next to the Shangsi courtyard to imprison the abandoned prince and send heavy soldiers to guard it.

What is the place of Shangsi Academy?It is a place dedicated to raising horses. It is really embarrassing that the former prince fell into such a situation overnight.

The fourth master couldn't bear it, and secretly asked people to take care of him, so that the deposed prince would not be humiliated by some blind people.

The emperor didn't know whether it was true or false, and he didn't respond.

In addition, the elder brother and the third elder brother were also trapped in their respective mansions. Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong in the palace couldn't bear the shock and passed out when they heard the news. Now that the emperor came back, he didn't dare To plead for mercy, under despair, became more and more silent.

With such a thing on the table, Xiao Juanjuan's full moon banquet can't be held. Although the fourth master is a little displeased, he doesn't care too much, because his imperial ama is after him.

Probably in order to break the current dominance of Lao Ba's family, the emperor wanted to pull the fourth master out to fight against Yinhu, so he reused the fourth master more and more, and often praised him, giving people a feeling that the fourth elder brother was "very good". The feeling of "hope" caused many courtiers to murmur in their hearts, and began to hesitate between the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother.

But no matter how Kangxi expresses or hints, how much candy is given to Tianzao, the fourth master just doesn't cooperate, as always, he does his own work honestly every day, accepts the emperor's favors, and doesn't care about the extras. Thinking about fighting and snatching, he is indifferent to the approach of some ministers, and he is indifferent. He never interacts too much. After finishing his own errands every day, he hurried home to accompany his wife and son. The posture of "you can do everything with a son" made Kangxi feel a little aggrieved by his indisputable anger.

If the fourth master didn't cooperate, the eighth elder brother's family dominated the court for a while, their power developed rapidly, and there were many party members, which should not be underestimated.

Suddenly one morning in the court, the emperor asked all the ministers to recommend an elder brother to be the prince. As a result, almost all the civil and military officials in the court recommended the eighth elder brother Yinhu. The emperor felt threatened and reprimanded the eighth elder brother for being "rou A traitorous nature, reckless aspirations, collusion from top to bottom, forming cliques for personal gain, planning for a high position, his heart can be punished", and the king was abolished and confined in the palace.

At that time, Yinhu knelt on the ground powerlessly as if all his anger had been sucked away.

After a long while, he chuckled suddenly, and kowtowed respectfully, "My son accepts the crime, thank you Huang Ama for your kindness."

A group of sons have been crippled by playing, except for the younger brother, there is only the fourth child left, but the fourth child does not cooperate and does not let him play, Kangxi has no choice but to give up.

This year is an eventful year, the princes have fallen one after another, the civil and military affairs of the court are full of anxiety, and the whole capital is filled with a tense atmosphere. The three-year draft is also much lower-key. Pointed to Yinzhen, the wedding is scheduled for the first day of September next year.

A year has passed in such a hurry, Xiaojuanjuan looks different every day, it seems that in just a blink of an eye, he has transformed from a red and wrinkled little monkey who only knows how to eat, sleep and eat to A white and tender meat bun who can already walk two steps while leaning on the wall.

The little guy looks almost the same as the fourth master carved out of the same mold. His thick curly hair is a bit "unconvincing", and there are always two bunches of dull hair freely fluttering in the wind, which makes him even more cute.
