Kangxi 49 years

November 23, Qianqing Palace

Zhu Tianbao knelt in the hall, knowing that he had offended Tian Yan, he was shaking like chaff.

Grandpa Kangxi sat on the dragon chair, with a serious face and a cold voice, "You kept claiming that the second elder brother was benevolent and filial in the memorial. I ask you, how did you know that?"

Zhu Tianbao straightened up tremblingly, cupped his hands and said, "My father used to walk in front of the imperial court and often mentioned it to my minister, so I heard about it."

"When your father was in front of the imperial court, the second elder brother was not sick. He was knowledgeable and capable of handling political affairs. But after he became ill, he became unconscious and behaved erratically. In front of me, he spoke nonsense many times, Insulting the clan and acting recklessly. Did you ever know?"

"I really don't know, and if I take the liberty to present Zou, I really deserve to die!" Zhu Tianbao kowtowed and pleaded guilty.

"In the memorial, you repeatedly claimed that the second elder brother is now a sage and a sage, and a virtuous and a virtuous. Let me ask you, how did you know it?"

"This is what my father heard from the guards..."

Zhu Tianbao lowered his body, beads of sweat fell to the ground.

"What's the name of the guard?"

There was no emotion in Master Kangxi's voice.

"I don't know..."

"Presumptuous!" Holy Wrath threatened, and the voice echoed in the hall.

Zhu Tianbao kowtowed again and again, his face was dripping with tears or sweat, he didn't know whether it was tears or sweat, "I should die, I should die..."

At noon, Prince Yong's Mansion

"Huh? What?"

Zhang Tingyu, who had just heard about the second elder brother's passing of the letter, arrived at Prince Yong's mansion, and only learned from Fu Nai that Prince Yong was also involved.

"This matter is quite weird," Zhang Tingyu turned around twice, "Eunuch Su is right, to respond to all changes with the same. When something like this happens, the eyes of the Long Live Lord must be fixed on Prince Yong all the time." What about the government?"

"Exactly. If we really destroy the evidence or cover up the truth, I'm afraid there will be no more than 300 taels of silver here." Fu Nai said.

"Fortunately, Mr. Su was clever. He was at the consultant's office the next day, and he pushed the matter to the guards on duty in Xian'an Palace, completely dismissing the prince." Namutu took the words and said.

"But, who planned this? Could it be that the second elder brother really did it?"

Zhang Tingyu also couldn't figure it out, "This is a bad move, the prince has no motive, this matter is totally untenable..."

"Master Changshi!"

The guard at the gate ran in, and cupped his hands at the adults in the house, "Someone sent a letter to the gatehouse, stamped with the prince's seal, and it was directed to the adults."

"Give it to me," Namutu quickly took the letter. Those who have this seal are usually the prince's cronies.

"This is—" Namutu scanned the contents of the letter and was shocked, "It was sent by someone from Longkodo. Long Live God decreed that Zhu Duna and Dai Bao were locked up!"

"Zhu Duna? Isn't that Chang Lai's father-in-law?" Fu Nai was the first to react, "What did he do?"

Zhang Tingyu didn't wait for Namutu's answer, took the letter and read it, "Oh no! Sure enough, there is a second hand! Zhu Tianbao went up to announce the restoration of the crown prince, the emperor was furious, and Zhu Tianbao confessed that his father and Dai Bao were the chief envoys."

"Chang Lai and I entered Prince Yong's residence at the same time, and he handles most of the prince's affairs with the white banner. Zhu Duna is his father-in-law, Dai Bao is his brother-in-law, and Zhu Tianbao is his brother-in-law. Chang Lai cannot escape from this matter." , the prince is afraid that he will be implicated again!"

Fourteen Ye Mansion

"Zhu Tianbao, that idiot, couldn't stand Long Live Lord's questioning, so he confessed his father Zhu Duna and Dai Bao. Long Live Lord has ordered them to be locked up immediately and handed over to the minister for strict interrogation." Al Song A said with a smile on his face.

"It's still Ba Ye who understands the temper of the Long Live Lord. As long as the second elder brother and the reserve are involved in anything, it will naturally be a thunderbolt." Elundai picked up the tea bowl and lightly scraped the tea foam.

"Does the starling want to involve the fourth brother through Chang Lai? But with such a big detour, if Chang Lai is involved, will Huang Ama believe that the fourth brother is behind the scenes? This is the same as the book case. Brother also has no reason to do so."

"I'm most afraid of coincidences in everything," Arsuna lowered his voice, "first came the book case, and then Zhu Tianbao. Li Chu was pushed to the front of the stage. As soon as this matter happened, Jiu Qing would have to bring up the matter of registering the East Palace again. At this time, it is time to use troops at the border. Will you be so sure that these things have nothing to do with Prince Yong?"

Brother Fourteen lowered his head, looked at the ripples in the tea bowl, and remained silent for a while.

In the evening, the carriage of Prince Yong's Mansion stopped outside the gate of the palace.

Su Wei, Zhang Qilin, and Zhang Bao got out of the car and walked all the way to Yanqing Hall.

"I said, Eunuch Su..."

Zhang Qilin still didn't give up, "It's not that my brother wants to compete with you. I think it's better for you to stay outside. We all know that the prince may not come out so easily this time. Don't worry, Zhang Bao and I will just go in." If you stay in the palace, if something happens, you should have someone to take care of you. If you don’t have you like this Xian’an Palace incident, we will drag the prince down.”

"This time people have already spilled shit at the door, it's too late to do anything now. I'd rather stay in Yanqing Palace with the prince than to be scared outside!"

Su Wei heard about Zhu Tianbao from Fu Nai in the afternoon, so he didn't even need to guess, this was the last move.

But, they can't do anything at this time, God knows if the Long Live Lord is still staring at the fourth elder brother's people.Even if it could be done, it would be too late. No one would have thought that Brother Ba's mind, with its nine bends and eighteen bends, would be able to move to such a place.

Today was originally the day that Prince Yong could come out of the Yanqing Hall.However, in the afternoon, the Ministry of Criminal Justice had already obtained Chang Lai's name from Zhu Duna and Dai Bao.

Chang Lai and Jin Bao, another former cabinet bachelor who was involved, were locked up together.

Su Wei simply gave up and took Zhang Bao and Zhang Qilin into the palace with a burden.

"If you can't produce evidence, so what if the prince is suspected? Isn't it because he was suspected, and it's not like he hasn't been suspected before. At worst, we will spend the New Year in Yanqing Palace this year!"

Eunuch Su thought about it very much, but Zhang Bao and Zhang Qilin were almost dying of worry.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Yanqing Palace, the guards guarding the gate seemed to have not heard the news, so they opened the gate after making a notification.

I haven't seen him for three days, but the fourth elder brother didn't change much. When he saw Su Wei at the door, he smiled.

Qiu Hai followed behind listlessly, and was locked up for three days without doing anything.

"The servant sees the prince!"

Su Wei and the second father-in-law saluted at the same time, and the fourth elder brother waved his hand.

"My lord, let's go back to the mansion to rest as soon as possible, and the servant has also returned to the Yonghe Palace," Qiu Hai said to the fourth elder brother.

"Wait a moment!"

Grandpa Su had a migraine when he heard the word Yonghe Palace these two days, seeing this Qiu Hai at this moment was never pleasing to the eye.

"Why is our lord's blue and white jade dragon pattern pendant gone? Please Eunuch Qiu Hai to look for it in the palace."

Qiu Hai looked around blankly, why didn't he remember what kind of jade pendant Prince Yong was wearing?

"What's the matter?"

Su Wei tilted his neck, "Could it be that this jade pendant isn't in the palace? On Eunuch Qiu Hai's body?"

The guards on the side heard this, and they all stepped forward two steps. Is it okay to steal from the master?

"No, no," Qiu Hai was alone at this time, helpless, "I'm going to look for it, I'm going to look for it now!"

Qiu Hai rushed into the palace, and Grandpa Su's fur hadn't calmed down yet.

The fourth elder brother bent the corner of his mouth and said softly, "Okay, let's go."

"My lord!"

The fourth elder brother and his party didn't have time to turn around, Liang Jiugong came from afar again, "Long Live God has a decree, ordering the prince to cultivate himself in the Yanqing Palace, study agricultural books, and prepare for the spring festival in the coming year."

"Spring festival? Then it's the beginning of spring!"

Zhang Qilin's eyes widened, and he was stabbed severely by Zhang Bao who was beside him.

Liang Jiugong glanced at the two men, but said nothing, "What the lord needs can be delivered from the manor, or you can leave two servants to serve. However, the lord needs to eat vegetarian food every day, take a bath and meditate. Some miscellaneous books cannot be moved."

Su Wei stood aside without saying a word, but Zhang Qilin could hear him gritting his teeth.

The fourth elder brother was a little dazed, turned his head to look in the direction of Qianqing Palace, then looked back at Su Wei who was standing aside, and suddenly understood something.

"My son, thank you for your decree..."

At night, Yonghe Palace

"Ma'am, it's done!"

Qingju bowed beside the couch and said, "The fourteenth elder brother sent someone to send the news that the fourth elder brother wants to regain his freedom until the beginning of spring next year. By then, the war at the border will be over long ago. If we don't know for sure, we ten The fourth elder brother has already entered the East Palace."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Concubine De gave Qingju a stern look, and Qingju immediately shut her mouth tightly.

"It's good that Yinti can lead the army and make meritorious service..."

Concubine De picked up the tea bowl on the kang table, scraped off the tea foam, and then put it down again, "This time, it's not like Yinti planned it, the calculation is too deep, even Long Live Lord's thoughts are calculated Whether it's Xian'an Palace or that Zhu Tianbao, it won't be achieved in a day, and the person who planned it is a little too scary."

"Brother Fourteen, I've gotten closer to Brother Eight recently..." Qingju said softly.

Concubine De let out a long sigh, "Yinhu does have the power to rely on, but cooperating with this kind of person is really seeking skin from a tiger."

"Anyway, the eighth elder brother has been completely rejected by the Long Live Lord. He and the fourth elder brother are mortal enemies, and now he can only support our fourteenth elder brother." Qingju said.

Concubine De lowered her eyes, fell silent for a moment, then raised her head to look at Qingju, "Isn't it too unfair for Yinzhen to do this?"

"Why would your empress think so? This situation is the best now. Although the fourth elder brother is temporarily imprisoned in the Yanqing Palace, he will not fight with the fourteenth elder brother. Two brothers, we must There is one who suffers a little bit. In the future, our fourteenth elder brother will succeed to the throne, so naturally he will not treat his elder brother badly. The empress also does not have to face the situation where the brothers fight against each other. The two harm each other whichever is lesser. The fourth elder brother is benevolent and filial. Will figure it out."

Concubine De shook her head, and took a sip of the slightly bitter tea, "You don't know Yinzhen yet, he won't accept his fate so easily..."

The author has something to say: Because the time of enthronement was ten years earlier, I have changed many historical events.

Historically, Er Fujin did not die when she entered the book case, but she did yell the phrase "why don't you discuss it with me."

It was several years after Zhu Tianbao asked to restore the crown prince, but Lord Kangxi did mention the case when he interrogated Zhu Tianbao.For the sake of plot conflict, I put them together and put them on the eighth prince's head.

However, Zhu Tianbao is indeed Chang Lai's brother-in-law. I just haven't found out whether this Chang Lai is Chang Lai from Prince Yong's Mansion, so let's just assume it is, just be so willful.
