Chapter 879 "Prologue"

Changchun Garden, Wuyizhai.

This is the residence of the Sixteenth Prince in the garden. Today, the Sixteenth Prince returned to Beijing with the Holy Emperor. The eunuchs and palace maids cleaned the inside and outside of the yard early.

However, at the moment, the yard is silent.

Occasionally, there were little eunuchs and little palace maids who came out to walk around, and they all stood on tiptoe, so they did not dare to make any noise.

The sixteenth prince was lying on the kang, his forehead was covered with cold sweat. His upper body was covered with clothes and a layer of silk quilt was covered with waist.

Wang Pin sat on the chair beside the kang, wiped the sweat of Shiliua with a veil, and tears fell down like broken beads.

The rules in the palace are that crying cannot be made with sound.

Wang Ping felt so upset that she really wanted to run to the imperial court and ask who one, why was she beating her son like this?

The sixteenth prince squinted his eyes, and the pain was tight. He clenched his fists hard, preventing himself from moaning.

Thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king. Today he receives these forty boards, which is also the grace of the emperor.

Looking at the look of the emperor's father glaring at him, he wished he could kill him.

The board in front of the imperial court is different from the ones outside the yamen. It is all made of golden nanmu. This is "God of Heaven", so it is naturally unusual, it is heavy.

Even if the guards who are handling the board want to have a favor with their subordinates, it is not easy.

After the deposed crown prince, Kangxi rebuked the eighth prince for his misconduct, the fourteenth prince spoke for the eighth prince. He had been 20 yards and had been raising it for several months.

What annoyance! What annoyance!

The sixteenth prince secretly hated her heart, but couldn't bear to worry about her mother, so she pretended to be relaxed: "Mom, my son is fine. She just looks a little more powerful, but she doesn't hurt her muscles. My mother is running all the way and she is tired. Let's go back and rest first..."

Seeing that his son had the strength to speak, Wang turned around and waved his hand, and sent the palace maids to the service. When the mother and son were left in the room, he asked in a low voice: "Aren't you doing well yesterday? Why did the Emperor annoy you today and just annoy you?"

There is no simple matter in the palace.

Although Wang Feng was always taciturn, he had been in the palace for nearly thirty years and had never seen anything before.

Since the deposed prince, Kangxi has treated all the older princes very harshly, but he has become more kind to the younger princes like the sixteenth prince and the seventeenth prince.

The Sixteenth Prince was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was obeyed in front of the emperor. Over the years, Kangxi was very fond of this son.

After hearing the mother's question, the sixteenth prince felt nervous and hurriedly said, "Mom, my son has not done his job well. The emperor happened to be angry because of other anger, and his son was beaten to the slap. There is no reason behind the scenes, so my mother doesn't have to scare herself."

When Wang Ping heard this, she frowned and looked at the Sixteenth Prince with confusion, saying, "It's really a business, it's not because of others? Even if you want to annoy you, you can't be beaten so many times. Is it because you have made something that you don't have to be taboo?"

"Oh, do you think your son is a fool? You even have a taboo? It's really okay. If you really feel sorry for your son, you will go back and rest earlier. If you are tired of your mother because of your son, it will be your son's unfilial..." The Sixteenth Prince said casually.

But he didn't know that his face was pale and the blue veins in his temples were all visible. This "easy" expression was not at all relaxed, and it felt a bit ferocious.

Seeing this, Wang Pin knew that his body was in pain and his heart was extremely painful.

After just asking a few questions, the Sixteenth Prince didn't let go, and she knew that there must be a connection.

Although she had a lot of questions in her heart, she didn't want to make things difficult for her son. She stroked her chest, calmed herself down, and said, "Since it's okay, my mother will feel at ease. After you take the medicine, you will squint earlier. After two days, your body will be cheaper, and you will return to the palace to raise it. In another month, your wife will have a baby. If this baby can give birth to a little prince, everyone will be happy."

"I borrow my mother's auspicious words, and my son also hopes that she can give birth to a young prince." When talking about his wife, the sixteenth prince's expression softened.

Before going to Rehe in April, the Sixteenth Concubine was diagnosed with pregnancy and stayed in the palace to take care of her baby. She did not go to Rehe with the Sixteenth Prince.

The couple hasn't seen each other for half a year. The sixteenth prince was thinking about it. Yesterday, she sent someone back to Beijing to deliver a letter. She thought she would go back to the city today and reunite with her wife and children, but she didn't expect another incident.

Wang Pin looked at her son, sighed in her heart, gave a few more words of advice, called Zhao Feng to give carefully before getting up and leaving.

When Princess Wang left the house, the sixteenth prince could no longer help it. He lowered his head and bit the corner of the pillow. He felt cold sweat all over his body and his clothes were already penetrated.

Zhao Feng took his master to send Wangpin out, but he was still nervous, afraid that she would ask about the reason why the Sixteenth Prince was beaten.

Unexpectedly, he was relieved after being sent out of the yard and Wang Ping didn't say anything.

Speaking of which, the master was beaten for no reason, and he didn't understand why. He only knew that before the master was beaten today, Prince Hongxi came down from the front of the emperor, probably because it was related to the master's beating.

He remembered that his master had not sent anyone to Beijing to deliver a letter to Fujin, so he quickly turned around and entered the room: "Master..."

As soon as he started calling someone, he saw the sixteenth prince biting the pillow hard, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, which was so scary that he was already in tears, and his words were already crying: "Master... you are... a slave, let me ask the imperial physician..."

"Okay, let me be quiet!" The Sixteenth Prince only felt confused and waved his hand impatiently, saying, "Go and see what Master Seventeen is busy with, so that he can have time, and ask him to come over and speak."

Zhao Feng looked at the Sixteenth Prince carefully. Seeing that he had bitten his lips and had blood oozed out, he breathed a sigh of relief and responded and went out to find the Seventeenth Prince.

The sixteenth prince couldn't help it, moaned, cursed a few times before closing his eyes in a daze.

My body became hotter and my eyelids were already heavy, but because my buttocks were really hurt, the sixteenth prince couldn't sleep, so he could only hang his head weakly.

After a while, Zhao Feng's voice was heard: "Master, Master Seventeen is here."

Before the Sixteenth Prince opened his eyes, he felt a cold forehead. Then he heard the Seventeenth Prince say, "Sixteenth Brother is fever... Go and spread the imperial physician..."

The next sentence was ordered by Zhao Feng.

"Yeah!" Zhao Feng responded and quickly turned around and went out.

When the Sixteenth Prince opened his eyes, there was only one seventeenth Prince in front of him.

The seventeenth prince's face was full of worry and anger that he had not had time to put it away.

The Sixteenth Prince smiled bitterly and said, "Look at you like this, it's because you heard it. There's nothing to be angry about. The Emperor may not be really annoyed me. He just wants to explain to Hongxi, which is to turn big things into small things, and small things into small things."

"Those people are uneasy, but they are so tired that Brother Sixteen suffered. Brother Sixteen has been hiding tightly over the years and has to take the blame for them. He is so angry that he is so angry." The Prince Seventeen slapped his feet and gritted his teeth.

"Have you heard the wind before in the palace?" The Sixteenth Prince asked after a while.

"The things in Xian'an Palace have always been taboo. It's too late to avoid them. Who would ask about it? I really didn't expect that Hongxi would attack at this time. This kid is afraid that he would have the intention of testing the emperor." The Seventeenth Prince replied.

Apart from the injustice, the Sixteenth Prince was left with only atmosphere and helplessness.

The deposed prince imprisoned in Xian'an Palace, a good man, is now addicted to opium and drug, and is already crazy.

Opium is a medicine, so why did it enter Xian'an Palace? You know, if you swallow this thing, you can kill your life directly.

The most taboo thing in the palace is to hand over medicine privately, let alone take over Xian'an Palace.

The second prince is the legitimate son of the queen of Yuan Dynasty and the blood of the Tian family. Even if the crown prince was deposed, Kangxi still wanted to protect his son, so how could he allow others to plot and assassinate him?

Hongxi asked his father for his orders and asked Kangxi to "finally investigate" the matter, which was also a fulfillment of the responsibility of the son of man, but he could not say anything wrong.

However, now is the time when all officials are waiting and watching and the reserve is still in lingering. If you really "finalize" this matter, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the court and the country.

After all, in Confucian orthodox, the second prince, the legitimate son of the Yuan Dynasty, was considered to be the royal orthodox.

With Kangxi's temper in his early years, he couldn't stand his sons' private fight and didn't know how to get angry. Kangxi is now in his twilight years and does not want to make any more noise.

So Kangxi quickly cut off the mess, positioning the "discomfort" of the second prince as "negligence" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and replaced all the guards guarding the second prince, and beat the sixteenth prince who was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for forty.

Can the Sixteenth Prince not be wronged?

Although Xian'an Palace is a supply of all the supplies in the palace, it is also from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if it is said that "the guard is not strict" and "the things that are prohibited by the palace" are not blamed on the Sixteenth Prince.

The guards of the Interior Department were guarding the guards of the Interior Department, but the person who took the lead in charge was several relatives from the sect’s house.

Although in Kangxi's eyes, the Han people were his subjects and the bannermen were his slaves, these subjects and slaves were not allowed to be casually sent. Who told him to be a "benevolent monarch".

Like Dong Dianbang and Yiduli, the chief executives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, were not worth enough, and the only one who was unlucky was the sixteenth prince who was worth enough.

"Seventeenth brother, who is it?" asked the sixteenth prince.

"Who knows, I hope that the one who died in Xian'an Palace is either one or two. Even Hongxi can't escape the suspicion." The Seventeenth Prince sneered and said, "You deliberately exhausted you from being beaten this time, maybe you have the desire to revenge. In the past few years, he has been using the airs of a legitimate grandson in the prince's office. Just think that his body is shocked, we will take it under his disciples and dream in daylight!"

"You should also take a break. The Emperor Ahma is not too confused yet, so he has to beat me. Maybe there will be rewards in two days. It is said that taking a loss is taking advantage. Everything is to think about it." The Sixteenth Prince sighed and said.

"By the way, I'll send someone back to the city to get alcohol. Brother Sixteenth is so trauma, so he will definitely have fever. The fever-reducing prescriptions in the Imperial Hospital come slowly." Prince Seventeenth remembered something and said, "In two months, Cao Yong will be filial. Now that he is making trouble everywhere, I would rather he rest for another two years and avoid these dirty things."

"When I was in the game, how could I avoid it just by saying it was avoiding?" The Sixteenth Prince shook his head and said, "The Emperor mentioned this in July, waiting to call Cao Yong, how could he let him stay idle?"

Speaking of this, he also felt worried.

Not to mention anything else, the emperor's father was about to be 70 years old, and now the number of meetings in the small dynasty is getting less and less. Most of the time, he just summoned a few ministers alone.

Although I can't see anything in front of others, the Sixteenth Prince is always in front of the emperor and naturally knows more than others.

Since last winter, the emperor's father has been unable to hold the writing, and all the memorials were written by the cabinet bachelor Zhang Tingyu.

Outsiders don’t know that it is because Zhang Tingyu copied the imperial pen and reached a vivid point.

The Sixteenth Prince didn't know about this and felt a little uncomfortable every time he saw Zhang Tingyu.

Even if he was ordered, Zhang Tingyu's move would have hidden dangers. If he had other thoughts, it would be a great harm to the country and the country...

Changping, Caojiazhuangzi.

The people sent by the Seventeenth Prince to the Cao family could not know the details. They only knew that the Sixteenth Prince was beaten in front of the emperor and wanted to get some alcohol from the Cao family to reduce the fever.

Who doesn’t know that the 16th Prince has always had a good relationship with his family head, so he has to ask a few questions.

The man was hesitant, which made it clear that he only said that the emperor was furious and severely punished the Sixteenth Prince and beat him forty boards.

It was of great importance, and Zheng Hu dared not hide it, so he quickly reported to Changping.

Cao Yong had heard the reason and sent Zheng Hu down to rest. He walked in the study himself, and was also shocked.

The Sixteenth Prince has always been agile, so why did he get beaten?

This year, the Holy Divine Carrie delayed his return to Beijing. Although the newspaper did not make it clear, there were rumors that it was "the dragon body was not safe."
