Chapter 1013: Pie falls from the sky

Although Yongzheng was the emperor of the Nine Five, Prince Zhuang Fujin was an elder, so Yongzheng was very polite to him and asked someone to set up a chair for her.

Prince Zhuang Fujin put down his braids and wore a mourning uniform. His face was a little haggard, but his attitude was still respectful. He thanked for his grace and sat by the chair.

"Father Jin, I invite you here today to ask about the matter of establishing an heir. The old prince has no son and mentioned his affairs with the previous emperor in his early years. Looking at his meaning, he doesn't seem to be interested in the Yitai brothers." Yongzheng said after a little thought.

Prince Zhuang Fujin was stunned when he heard this.

Prince Zhuang has seven nephews, and now only Yitai and Fucang are alive. These two brothers have fought for more than ten years for inheritance and tried their best to do everything they can, and the lawsuits are all over the imperial court.

Later, Kangxi ordered Yaerjiang A to scold their brothers, which made them honest.

Although Prince Zhuang Fujin was disliked by these two nephews, he was prepared for his husband, and his title would probably fall on their brothers.

The two brothers, Yi Tai, were the eldest, but Prince Zhuang was more optimistic about Fu Cang during his lifetime. His meaning was that the nephews were not good, but it depends on the nephew's wife. Find a virtuous and filial wife to avoid being angry.

Prince Zhuang Fujin disagreed. Instead, he felt that Fucang's wife was born in a low-class family and was not worthy of being the mistress of the royal family. Yitai's wife, although she was a vigilant and arrogant, was from a large family and knew more about rules and etiquette.

The couple had different opinions, so they never made up their minds for establishing an inheritance.

When Prince Zhuang was seriously ill, he had handed over a copy of his past, asking Yong Zheng to choose one of his two nephews.

His meaning is that there is a layer of imperial destiny, which can also be regarded as a constraint on his nephew, making the old concubine live a more comfortable life.

The old concubine knew this, so she was surprised now. She didn't know what Yongzheng said about reconciliation. Could it be that it was not enough to continue the near branch and the far branch?

She was in her seventies and was a mature spirit, tremblingly following Yongzheng's words: "These two are not good. How many troubles have happened over the years, it makes people shudder when they say it..."

Yongzheng nodded and agreed, "The concubine said this. Even the Emperor Ama was bothering their brothers during his lifetime. I heard that the old prince had recovered almost the same illness before, but his brothers disobeyed him, which worsened..."

When the old concubine heard this, she couldn't help but feel disgusted.

"Disobedience" is a serious crime. The emperor who said this was the emperor of the Nine Five. If this crime was fulfilled, it would be said that the Yitai brothers could save their lives, let alone the future.

No matter how they hate their brothers, they are both husbands' nephews, how could the old concubine take the blame at this time?

If they were to say that their brothers were also princes from the Prince's Mansion. It was only later that his father, Wang Bowengguonuo, lost his title and became an idle royal family.

Although Prince Zhuang hated his nephews' trouble, he had never really annoyed them for the sake of his late brother Bowenguonuo. Otherwise, repairing them would be just a matter of just one sentence, so how could they have been allowed to spend all these years?

"Your Majesty, this is also a coincidence... The prince is old and old..." The old concubine said with a little sadness: "When the prince was alive, he was worried about these nephews and nephews, and he would have to ask the emperor to teach him more in the future..."

Yongzheng snorted coldly and said, "Didn't Yitai hold Jiu Beizi's thigh? How can I need my teaching? I heard that Jiu Beizi had visited the concubine, but is there any such thing?"

In just a moment, he changed his face, and the old concubine could not sit still.

The Ninth Prince was the dead eighth prince, and relied on the power of Concubine Yi to act recklessly in the early years. After the eighth prince died, he supported the fourteenth prince to seize the throne.

Speaking of which, it is the mortal enemy of the new emperor.

Thinking of this, the old concubine was frightened and said, "When the emperor said, Jiu Beizi has indeed been to me. Looking at him, he means he wants to plead for Itae."

Yongzheng nodded, his expression slowed down and said, "Old concubine will sit down and talk."

The old concubine sat down carefully, feeling cold sweat in her palms, and she was very afraid. She had thought of following the Ninth Prince's wishes and advocating Yi Tai Chengsi, but she forgot that Ninth Prince was no longer the arrogant and wanton ninth prince, but the new emperor's thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh.

"The sixteenth prince has been in the royal palace these days to handle the funeral of the old prince. How about the old concubine looking at him?" Yongzheng lowered his eyes, touched the blue and white bowl in his hand, and asked.

The old concubine only felt a "buzzing" in her mind, but a little smile came out of her face and said, "The Sixteenth Prince is naturally good. She doesn't talk about everything and is also careful... She is worried that I am old and specially arranged for the imperial physician to ask for a pulse three times a day... She is also afraid that I will be overly sad and have irregular diet, so she transferred a lot of vegetables from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the fine fruits come over..."

After hearing this, Yongzheng said, "The Sixteenth Prince is a filial and righteous man. The Emperor praised it during his lifetime. Yitai, Fu Cang is not used. Someone will always have to cook for the old prince. If the old concubine nods, I will order the Sixteenth Prince to cook this matter."

Although it was a tone of negotiation, there was no room for the old concubine to say no.

The old concubine stood up again and said with some excitement: "The emperor is very kind, I thank the emperor for his kindness on behalf of the prince." As he spoke, he was about to kneel down.

Yongzheng hurriedly ordered Chen Fu to help him, and comforted him for a few more words before taking the people away.

The old concubine personally sent it to the second door, and when she returned to the room, she felt that her eyes were getting dark.

At this moment, she wanted to die. She lost her husband's title in this way. How can she meet her husband after she died?

The sixteenth prince was at this moment, but the second monk was confused.

He heard that after Yongzheng saw the old concubine, he came over to send the emperor out of the palace. Yongzheng looked in a good mood and asked a few questions about the desolation.

The sixteenth prince came here on order. He has been busy with this these days. When he reported it, he was naturally in order.

Speaking of which, there is no need to worry too much. After all, there are precedents to follow how to mourn the prince dies.

However, Yongzheng praised him a few words, and then told him that from now on, he would come forward to handle the funeral and prepare for the funeral of Prince Zhuang.

This is not the same as handling the funeral. The former represents the Office of the Internal Affairs and comes to serve as a servant; the latter represents the Office of Prince Zhuang, acting as a filial son and grandson, and entertaining relatives and friends who come to mourn and sacrifice.

Although Prince Zhuang has no parent and child, he has two nephews, about ten nephews and grandchildren, and several of them are respectful to nephews and grandchildren. They all wear filial piety and guard the spirit in front of the spirit.

Although the Sixteenth Prince was also the nephew of Prince Zhuang, he was a cousin. When it comes to closeness and alienation, he was naturally not as good as Yitai and others. Therefore, after hearing Yongzheng's words, he felt confused.

Seeing that he was in a mess, Yongzheng felt a little better and said warmly: "Not only should I take good care of the old prince's affairs, but I should also serve the old concubine well, and do my best to do my duty!"

The words have already pointed out that there is no place in the Sixteenth Prince who doesn’t understand.

He raised his head suddenly and looked at Yongzheng in disbelief. His eyes gradually turned red and he choked and said, "Emperor, brother, brother..."

Yongzheng just thought he was excited, nodded with encouragement, and said, "Do work hard and don't let my wishes down."

The sixteenth prince shook his sleeves, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed, "I thank the emperor for his kindness."

His body trembled slightly, and his voice was already crying.

Yongzheng looked down at him, as if he understood his touch.

From the titleless prince to the Iron Hat Prince, there are few people who can calm down. Even the Thirteenth Prince was so excited as the Sixteenth Prince when he was awarded the title of Prince.

Thinking of the Thirteenth Prince, the Fourth Prince was a little hesitant.

It can be said that if he was able to ascend the throne successfully, the Thirteenth Prince is the number one hero.

Now the Thirteenth Prince is also Prince Heshuo, but it is one level behind the hereditary iron hat inherited by the Sixteenth Prince. He is not worried about the inequality of the inequality. If the Thirteenth Prince has a grudge in his heart, it will really affect his brotherhood.

The Fourth Prince thought to himself, helped the Sixteenth Prince up, and then gave a few more words before taking the entourage to see him leave Prince Zhuang's mansion.

The Sixteenth Prince couldn't tell whether it was sad or happy when it came to this big pie from the sky.

It is false to say that you won a royal title for nothing, but opening the government and franchise is not the same as inheriting the title at all.

Yesterday, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor gave a kind order to allow the late emperor to leave the palace and go to the palace.

For this matter, the Sixteenth Prince also made a special trip to visit her biological mother, Secret Concubine, and asked her to be at ease and to find a way to open a house as soon as possible.

After just one day, I became someone else's son. It was already a bad reputation and a bad word to say.

The sixteenth prince was familiar with Cao Yong and knew about Seshtu's family affairs.

Even if the biological mother and son want to fulfill their filial piety after adoption, they have to be separated by a wall. Then, when there are no elders in the Duke's Mansion, Prince Zhuang's concubine is still there, and even if the sixteenth prince wants to live with his biological mother and live in a separate house, it is not appropriate to be polite.

Thinking of this, the sixteenth prince's joy turned into sorrow. For some reason, he remembered what Cao Yong said by the rice fields in the Summer Palace many years ago, and murmured: "I told him to say it, but he really got a title of king..."

The next day, Prince Zhuang's "First Seven" sacrifice was held, and royal princes and civil and military officials of the court came to pay tribute.

The sixteenth prince was dressed in filial son's costume and stood in front of Prince Zhuang's nephew and nephew, entertaining guests.

Since Prince Dazhuang passed away, many people outside have paid attention to the inheritance of the royal family. They are still a little bored. They have started privately. Who can win by Aitai or Fu Cang?

Unexpectedly, the Sixteenth Prince emerged and represented the fence in the wilful family to deal with Prince Zhuang’s major event.

Everyone was shocked, some were envious, some were jealous, and some were quickly flattered, which made the Sixteenth Prince see many forces.

Only Cao Yong had a long time to know what happened to the Sixteenth Prince. He looked very calm and said twice to the Sixteenth Prince when he was slapping no one.

The Sixteenth Prince and Cao Yong have known each other for many years and have a deep understanding of each other.

Seeing Cao Yong reacting like this, the Sixteenth Prince felt something was wrong.

It was the first time since the founding of the country that he had taken the honor of the prince of the previous emperor and the prince of the royal family. Before, the emperor had no sign of precepts, and now he is still in a dream, why is Cao Yong so calm?

The sixteenth prince took Cao Yong to a secluded place in the side courtyard, looked at Cao Yong up and down for a while, and his expression changed unpredictably.

Cao Yong was furious when he looked down at himself. He looked down at himself. His clothes were plain clothes, and his boots and purse were all green. It was the dress of the chanting festival, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Seeing him like this, the sixteenth prince laughed out loud with a "punch".

Because there was no outsider, he suddenly collapsed on the chair and complained: "Stand for a long time, your waist will be broken."

"It's worth getting an iron hat, even if it's tired." Cao Yong said the truth: "It's a good thing to fall from the sky, and you have to swallow it slowly. Everyone outside knows that Prince Zhuang's mansion has the most wealth, and Master Sixteenth also needs to think of a way to deal with it well, so that it's not easy to be tempted, but he can't live a peaceful life."

He said this because he saw the Ninth Prince who came to worship the sacrifice before.

The Ninth Prince stared at the Sixteenth Prince with anger.

The sixteenth prince reached out, knocked his back, and said, "Where can you use your ideas? This is not obvious?" At this point, he lowered his voice and said, "I have no great contribution to the emperor. Why did the emperor give me a title for no reason? Don't worry, I am not greedy for money, so I know how to act."

Cao Yong nodded after hearing this.

At present, the backer of the Sixteenth Prince is Yongzheng. It is much better to win Yongzheng's favor than to stick to Bo Guoduo's wealth.

Bo Guoduo has held up all his life's money, including more than ten silver treasuries in Prince Zhuang's mansion who were greedy when he was on duty.

There are rumors outside that there are millions of dollars in Prince Zhuang’s mansion.

Yongzheng arranged for the Sixteenth Prince to inherit, and he was by no means just to join the brothers.

The prince opened a mansion and built a yamen, and even the house, the village, and the people were accompanied by the people. It would cost at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.
