Chapter 242: Two Waste

Changchun Garden, Arrow Hall.

After hearing Kangxi's oral orders, all the princes looked at each other and were shocked. Even though everyone had seen that the crown prince's throne was unstable before, no one expected that he would "detain" and "detain" without warning. For a moment, he was suppressed and ecstatic, showed confusion, frowned slightly, and was confused, and everyone had different expressions.

Although these princes, the eldest third prince, is about to be confused, and the youngest seventeenth prince, is also sixteen, and they are all smart and not dull. But the news is really too shocking. In the panic, someone will inevitably lose his composure and forget to cover it up.

Sitting on the high dragon throne, Kangxi's eyes turned from his sons' faces. Seeing that everyone's faces were still clear, a little lonely suddenly arose in his heart.

This is all injustice. He has always governed the country with "benevolence and filial piety". However, among these sons, except for thinking about the high-ranking dragon throne, who would think about whether the emperor's father was in a good mood and was healthy or not? Humph, I'm afraid he thought he had lived long and wanted to... Kangxi pulled down his face, felt very upset, and stood up, and left with the eunuch guards in the voice of everyone's "Send the Emperor with respect".

They are all the emperor's parents and children. Except for the legitimate crown prince, who is better than who is the first to stand tall? Even the sixteenth prince, who has always been lazy, couldn't help but feel dazed when he heard the prince "restrained and guarded". However, thinking of the eldest prince who was encircled and thinking of the crown prince who has been trembling with the attacks of all brothers, the sixteenth prince immediately woke up.

The eighth prince who is expected to be, the third prince with the longest order, and the fourth prince who is proficient in government affairs, the sixteenth prince quickly glanced at these brothers, and decided to be his leisurely prince and watch the wall.

He looked back at Prince Seventeen, his face flushed, his eyes straight, with a little excitement. Prince Seventeen felt a deep heart, and he hurriedly pulled Prince Seventeen, and he didn't bother to say goodbye to other brothers, so he left the archery hall. Fortunately, they were at the end, and the others pretended to greet each other, and they tried to test each other, and no one noticed them.

After leaving the Arrow Hall, the Sixteenth Prince pulled the Seventeenth Prince to the right and went to the open space. The Seventeenth Prince was confused and looked at the Seventeenth Prince in confusion.

The Sixteenth Prince frowned, walked a few steps left and right before finally standing down, and said seriously: "Seventeenth brother, this idea is impossible to think about! Perhaps the neglect that nobleman Qin has suffered in the past two days makes you angry, but this idea is unbearable! Even if it arises in his heart, it should not be exposed on his face! Which of our brothers is easy to meet, and which one is so broad that he can tolerate the desire to fight for the other brothers for the throne!"

The seventeenth prince's face turned pale and murmured: "Sixteenth brother, we are also the sons of the Emperor..."

The sixteenth prince nodded and said, "This is true, but don't forget that there are 'the son is noble for his mother', 'the eldest son is the wise man', 'the wise man', 'Jian is the wise man', 'Jian is the wise man'! Speaking of honor, even if we don't mention the crown prince from the Yuan Dynasty, the fourth brother raised by the central palace, and the biological mother is the tenth brother of Concubine Wenxi. The words "Leading the eldest son" made the eldest brother obsessed with madness in the early years. Even now, our third brother has been waiting for it for several years. As for 'Living the Xian', as early as the 47th year of Kangxi, when the ministers recommended the crown prince, they had the answer. Speaking of 'Jian is the wise man', in addition to the thirteenth brother, there is also the thirteenth brother. How can we take our turn to be with us?"

Speaking of this, he paused, reached out and patted the seventeenth prince on the shoulder: "Seventeenth brother, look, there is no room for people to remember! Besides, fighting for the throne for the crown prince is the most taboo thing for the Emperor Ama! The eldest prince is the real eldest son, with outstanding military achievements and trained by the Emperor Ama himself; the Thirteenth brother has always been the most holy heart. In addition to the crown prince, even if he is around the Emperor Ama for a long time. However, because he is involved, what is the current situation? Emperor Ama, Emperor Ama, first is the "emperor" and behind is the "author". This is what we should never forget when we are princes!"

The seventeenth prince's face turned from white to green, from green to red, and finally lowered his head: "The sixteenth brother said these things, my younger brother knew, but he was just confused for a moment. When he thought of his mother, he was a little unwilling to give up!"

The sixteenth prince knew that his younger brother was a smart person and said everything he should say. He would figure it out himself, so he stopped talking.

A little eunuch in green came from afar, but Chen Fu, the close servant next to the Fourth Prince, came over with a package. His head was covered with sweat, and he ran to the 16th Prince and the Seventeenth Prince, and said, "I... Slave Chen Fu has met the Sixteenth Prince and the Seventh Prince, I wish you both!"

Seeing him panting, the sixteenth prince laughed and scolded: "What? Your master asked you to come to find Master? Let's talk about it evenly after panting!"

Chen Fu raised the package in his hand and replied, "When it comes to the Sixteenth Master, I am the order of our Master to find the Seventeenth Master! Yesterday, our concubine went to the palace to pay tribute, and also went to the nobles to check in. I came back to prepare some tonics. It was inconvenient to go to the palace, so I asked our master to bring it. This is not cheaper! We came out just now, but we couldn't see the two masters, so we sent the slave around to search!"

The fourth prince concubine is the prince concubine. The mother-in-law Concubine De is here in the palace. It is already a bit eye-catching to visit the noble man Qin. If he sends things over there, he is afraid that the other concubines will not look good.

The seventeenth prince took the package and was very grateful. He smiled and said, "I know that your mansion is strict, so I won't reward you! Master Dai thanked your concubine well, and said that Xiao Shiqi would not be the heretic with the fourth sister-in-law!"

Chen Fu lowered his hands and answered.

The sixteenth prince asked, "Where is your master? But go back to the city first?"

Chen Fu replied: "Reply to the Sixteenth Master, our master will go back to the city first. I thought the two masters left the garden. After I asked at the door, I realized that the two masters were still in the garden, so I sent my servants to stay and find the two masters!"

The sixteenth prince looked south and couldn't figure out what the brother would think. Even the two young men, he and the seventeen, couldn't help but feel moved when they heard that the prince was going to be deposed again. How could the fourth brother, who had half the identity of a legitimate son, calm down?

Although I don’t know what the Fourth Prince is, the Eighth Prince can’t calm down no matter what.

Although the Ninth Prince, Tenth Prince, and Fourteenth Prince, these hard-core supporters all raised their eyebrows and wanted to go to the Tenth Prince's mansion to discuss how to celebrate the Tenth Prince's birthday. October 11th is the Tenth Prince's birthday of the thirty years old, and it is a full birthday. Although they are said to be open, they are just taking advantage of the reasons to get together to discuss the future constitution.

The Eighth Prince was dragged down by the recommendation of the ministers last time, and was suspended from ranks in recent years and was scolded a lot. Although he was determined to fight for the throne, he was much more courageous. After thinking about it for a while, he still asked his brothers to take the lead, and he arrived later.

The Ninth Prince, the Tenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince, although they didn’t know what the Eighth Prince wanted, it was not the time to ask in detail now, so they all took people out of the garden first.

The Eighth Prince and his brothers left, hesitated for a while, and finally went to Qingxi Bookstore where the Shengjia was.

Kangxi sat behind the imperial case, picked up his pen and drafted the deposed crown prince's book to the kings, Beile, Beizi, ministers and others tomorrow. He wrote only two lines, "Before Yunreng was in a perverse manner, he was imprisoned. Then I was sick and remembered the kindness of father and son, and was lenient and forgiven. I was in front of the crowd and said that he seemed to be able to change. I also insisted on the oath before the empress dowager and the concubines, the kings and ministers." So I couldn't continue writing.

Kangxi felt his arms were very heavy, and he trembled slightly. A drop of cinnabar ink fell on the imperial edict, making it red.

When the eunuch Liang Jiugong came into the house, he saw Kangxi's face look ugly, and he was nervous and replied in a low voice: "Long live, Lian Beile is looking for a meeting outside!"

Kangxi put down his imperial pen and snorted coldly: "I can't wait to tell him to come in! I'm here to see what kind of wise law this 'Sage Prince' is!"

Liang Jiugong responded and understood in his heart that the prince was afraid that he would come at the wrong time. Because the prince was deposed, such as the imperial attendants, they also had their own thoughts. Should they say something? Liang Jiugong hesitated and finally shook his head. Forget it, if he understood it, and let the Lord Long Sui couldn't get angry, who would know who would be the tone?

The poor eighth prince is determined to be a "filial" good son, but he doesn't know that this step will make him farther away from the throne. "A wise man will have a mistake in his mind," which is what he is stupid at this moment.

Yizhou, Taotai Yamen.

According to the previous rules, after October, the Daotai Yamen began to work hard, assessing the jurisdiction of the officials, rectifying tax sources, reviewing the accounts of money and grain, etc. Because there were special officials in charge of the duties, Cao Yong stayed in the Yamen for half a day every day, which was quite light.

Although there was nothing unusual about the news sent back to the capital until the end of September, Cao Yong remembered clearly that the "Two Deposed Crown Prince" was the 51st year of Kangxi. Now, by the end of the year, less than March, it seems that the "Two Deposed Crown" should almost begin. In addition, the case between the Governor of Liangjiang Gali and Jiangsu Governor Zhang Boxing was involved in the case, and the dust was about to be settled.

The first day of October is the birthday of the Thirteenth Prince. Needless to say, someone was sent to send a birthday gift as early as September; the end of October is the birthday of the Fourth Prince. The gift was specially prepared by Cao Yong, a white jade Guanyin, a plate of ivory Buddhist beads, a plate of beeswax Buddhist beads, and a pair of Xuande, Ming Dynasty, a three-legged copper incense burner.

On the third day of the October 10th, the managers sent by the Prince Ping's Mansion arrived in Yizhou and sent full moon gifts from various families and their deeds. When they returned, Cao Yong sent Cao Fang to Beijing with the birthday gifts prepared for the Fourth Prince. Of course, there were also some gifts to other deeds.

The incident of the prince being "detained" and being officially "deposed and imprisoned" on the first day of October was spread to Yizhou on the fifth day of October, and originated from the "family letter" of King Nersu, Ping County.

In addition to congratulating Cao Yong's eldest son for a full month, he also said in an "understand way" that Kangxi wrote a letter to the kings, Beile, Beizi, ministers, etc. at the dynasty meeting on the first day of the October 2018 to "still depose and imprison the crown prince who was "so crazy and easily ill and unable to win the hearts of the people."

After receiving this news, Cao Yong was not surprised, but instead settled down and felt at ease. After all, Kangxi would establish a "secret crown" system in the future, and all means of fighting for the throne must be hidden. On the surface, the capital and the place must be calm for a long time.

Only Mr. Zhuang saw that Prince Ping did not mention the words of "Mingfaith the world" in his letter, and guessed that the emperor was afraid that he would have to see the reactions from all directions to see if there were still people who were looking for the prince.

When Cao Yong was in charge of the imperial court, he had contact with the crown prince. Whether it was his appearance, body, or his words and deeds, the crown prince looked very much like Kangxi, but his majesty was not enough and his face was often covered with a gloomy look.

Thinking that the crown prince was abolished and would be imprisoned until his death, Cao Yong couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Perhaps this crown prince had a loss of personal morality, but since he was taught by Kangxi for more than ten years, he was definitely a qualified crown prince. As early as he was a teenager, he served as the governor during the Kangxi Western Expedition.

If his brother hadn't been too outstanding, if his mother's family Soetu and others had too much ambition, he wouldn't have been forced to this day step by step.

The position of the crown prince is more difficult than the position of the emperor. Although he is called the crown prince, he is not the king after all. He is trembling before sitting in front of the chair. He cannot be wrong. If he is mediocre, he will not be jealous of his brothers. The emperor's father will not be able to see him and want to re-establish the crown prince. If he is outstanding, otherwise he will stab the emperor in the eyes and affect the power of the king. Even his father will not be able to tolerate it.

It was just a sigh. Cao Yong couldn't help but start to speculate on the Fourth Prince. He didn't know how this future cold-faced emperor team was built. Nian Gengyao served as governor in Sichuan, Longkodo had become the admiral of the Nine Gate, and Dai Duo served as the prefect in Fujian.

But strangely, the three model governors of the Yongzheng Dynasty, Ortai, Li Wei, and Tian Wenjing did not even have any shadows.

When in the capital, Cao Yong wanted to ask the Thirteenth Prince several times if there was a servant named "Gou'er" in the Fourth Prince's mansion, but thinking that the Fourth Prince looked like he was not a good-tempered person, if one day the Thirteenth Prince let it go and let the Fourth Prince misunderstand his spy on the royal palace, it would be really unfair.

However, driven by curiosity, he would pinch his fingers and calculate the "model governor" who was legendary in later generations. If he became governor in the early years of Yongzheng, he should have become an official now. If he was the governor in the middle of Yongzheng, he would still be a servant in Prince Yong's mansion?
