Chapter 133 The Story of Clearing (42)
Qingchuan Story 42
"Your Majesty, the matter is in chaos now, but there is no way to verify it." Zhang Tingyu whispered: "It's better to make a long-term plan."
Kangxi's eyes couldn't help but fall outside the tent, where more than a dozen sons were kneeling.
The hand behind this scene may not be one, but they are undoubtedly hidden among the dozen sons outside.
For him, it doesn't matter who it is. The important thing is that among his sons, there are indeed people who want to kill the monarch and father.
"Now, people are in panic." Zhang Tingyu said: "I ask the emperor to go back to the palace first, and then make a decision after returning to the palace."
Kangxi closed his eyes and said, "Ready for the report."
Until he got on the carriage, the Fourth Master was still a little dazed. The emperor was so anxious that he wanted to go back to the palace, but he was afraid that he was still afraid.
"Have the eldest and second princess arranged the arrangement?" The fourth master asked Su Peisheng, who was kneeling aside to take off his boots.
Su Peisheng quickly responded, "The eldest brother and the second brother are in a carriage, and ask Wang Chaoqing to serve him, and dare not make any mistakes." After saying that, he lowered his head and boots to compete.
The boots, heels, robe and pants were frozen into ice, which was difficult to take off.
The brazier roaster has melted ice at this time, but his whole pants are wet.
"Masters have changed." Su Peisheng handed over the clothes to the Fourth Master. His frozen feet didn't dare to put them on the fire or soak them in hot water immediately, otherwise it would be worse.
The Fourth Master changed his pants, cotton socks, and boots together with new ones, and then leaned back on the side wall of the carriage. Outside the carriage were dozens of imperial guards. Although these princes were not imprisoned like Prince Zhi and Prince, and were detained like the Thirteenth Old, they were also not free. Before the emperor made a conclusion, they were all watched and could not connect with each other in private.
In this way, he felt at ease.
If there is a emperor around you, at least there is a layer of security guarantee.
He also wanted to know who was behind this scene?
When he returned to the palace, he drove lightly. Before dawn, the emperor summoned the civil and military ministers and relatives and nobles in the palace. The Fourth Master could hear the noisy sounds on the carriage. Obviously, this change made people feel a little confused.
When the guards outside asked him to get out of the car, he followed the Third Master and headed into the hall.
The hall was brightly lit and there was still a biting cold.
I heard the emperor's voice cold and mechanical without any emotion: "...I am not abide by my morals, but I am not obeying my instructions, but I am abusing the people and violently. Now I will abolish the position of crown prince..."
The Fourth Master suddenly felt his knees weak and he knelt down.
He knelt all over the ground in the hall.
How big is it to abolish the prince! The emperor said it would be abolished.
In fact, being able to depose the prince so easily is very evident. That is, there is no great force behind the prince that makes the emperor worry about it.
If you have been a prince for thirty years, even if you have a bad mind, you will not do what the emperor said.
Now the prince is abolished to stabilize the hearts of the people after this rebellion.
No matter who initiated this matter today, the prince must be the one who was sacrificed. He is used to prove that the imperial power is still solid.
He couldn't help but remembered Zhuge Liang's tears to kill Ma Su. Zhuge Liang used Ma Su's head to correct the military law, and the emperor used the position of the crown prince to calm people's hearts.
The Fourth Master didn't know if the prince was really innocent in this matter, but it was something that no one expected that he would be deposed so easily.
In the hall, there were a vast crowd of knelt on the cold ground, shouting "The Emperor thinks twice."
The Fourth Master believed that what his brothers had in his heart was definitely not surprise, but fear.
He didn't know how long he had been kneeling on the ground before he was helped back into the carriage. The warm and narrow space calmed down his heart bit by bit.
He had to recognize a reality, that is, the prince was really deposed.
The howling wind wrapped in heavy snow. He lifted the window and looked at the white earth outside. The desire in his heart slowly gained the upper hand. Looking at the guards outside called escort, but in fact, the Fourth Master slowly lowered the window. The carriage was not as warm as before, but this coldness made him even more clear.
Honghui was at the gate of the mansion and waited for the Fourth Master until the carriage stopped and saw so many guards, he felt a little harsh in his heart.
The Fourth Master's legs were cold and it was still dry now. Su Peisheng helped the Fourth Master to get off the carriage, so Honghui rushed over and carried the Fourth Master on his back without saying a word.
The Fourth Master's nose felt sore and his eyes were red. The child felt sorry for him.
"Let Ama come down." The Fourth Master said softly, "Ama can leave." In fact, the child was short, with his back on him, and his legs were still dragging him on the ground. His feet were numb and he didn't feel it was touching the ground.
Honghui said in a muffled voice: "It's okay! My son is so powerful that he will be here soon."
The Fourth Master did not dare to struggle hard, for fear that the child would slip and fall again. He stood there and let Honghui carry him to the study.
Hong Yun turned out from behind the screen and saw the Fourth Master coming back, he said, "The hot water has been put in it. Hurry up and bubble it. There are medicines prepared by the legitimate mother to drive away the cold. The sons used it and thought it was good. Ama, too." The Imperial Doctor should be busy at this moment. How long has it been called? It is better to be self-sufficient.
As he said that, he stepped forward and helped Honghui take off his boots for the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master just felt that even if he didn't soak anything, his heart was still warm.
When this happened, the two children were frightened. The Fourth Master was soaked in the water and said, "It's okay! There's a mama. Just go to bed. Be full of energy. Maybe you will set off for Beijing tomorrow. You can't rest on the way."
Seeing that it was really okay, Honghui took Hongyun down. He didn't really close his eyes last night.
The Fourth Master soaked in hot water and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. A sense of coldness was stimulated by the medicinal properties, which made him shivering violently. The medicinal properties were really domineering.
When the water temperature dropped, he felt that he was warm from the inside to the outside.
After dinner, I lay on the kang. I thought I couldn't sleep, but I didn't expect that I would sleep very peacefully.
The Fourth Master originally thought that he would have to wait until tomorrow to return to Beijing. Who knew that the emperor issued an order to leave overnight and want to return to the capital.
He didn't dare to let Honghui and Hongyun ride on the carriage alone. There might be any accident on this snowy day.
After packing up the things they had used in the past few days, the father and son squeezed into a carriage, followed the emperor's chariot, and wandered towards the capital.
It is actually not that exaggerating to say that it is squeezed. The Fourth Master’s carriage is divided into three sections, with a few tables in front, and there is no problem with writing and reading on it. He can sit down three or four people. The middle section is a bed, so he can definitely sleep two adults. After squeezing, the father and son can sleep, which is still warm. The back end is the place to wash and leave. The middle is separated by a screen.
The Fourth Master sat in front to read a book, Honghui and Hongyun played chess on the couch around the quilt.
Hongyun whispered: "Brother, have you seen uncle, second uncle, and thirteenth uncle? How cold it is in the Qingpeng carriage."
Honghui glared at Hongyun, "Nothing much." He was also a little frightened. It was really a phoenix with hair falling off her hair, which was not as good as a chicken.
Hongyun pursed his lips and said, "I used to be very disliked by Hongxi and Hongyu, but now I feel pitiful. I saw that they wanted to give them clothes and charcoal basins, but those slaves didn't ask to get close. The words were so ugly. Before, I could step on anyone."
Honghui casually dropped the chess piece down. No one would have thought of this situation before.
In his eyes, the prince and the prince Zhi were like two unattainable mountains, and now the mountain fell down like this. The emperor said with a gentle word.
For the first time he knew the horror of imperial power.
It is true that the charm of imperial power always attracts people to get closer, even if there is a hideous reality behind it.
The road was slippery on the snow, and the road was not fast. The Fourth Master tried not to mention these unpleasant things in front of his two children. He only took the book and told them to them, or guided the two brothers to play chess.
I was bored in the car for ten days before I entered the capital.
The princes and princes were all escorted back to the mansion by the Imperial Guard. In fact, the mansion had been surrounded a few days ago.
Lin Yutong knew the final result and knew that the Fourth Master should be fine. But she felt unsure of whether there would be any difficulties in the process in the middle. Although she still lived her life after being surrounded by the mansion. But in fact, she was still a little scared.
When Lin Yutong was really waiting for the father and son to go home, she almost burst into tears.
Loss of weight loss!
I think I have suffered along the way.
I checked the two children in a vague way, but didn't let them go back. I asked them to settle in the wing room for the time being.
Hong Zhao blinked his eyes, but he didn't dare to come forward for a while. After being teased by Honghui for a few words, he showed his true nature again, and he grabbed the Fourth Master and called "Ama". The whole yard was filled with his laughter.
I really don't know the age of sorrow.
The Fourth Master couldn't help feeling relieved when he looked at the child.
At night, when the child rested, Lin Yutong couldn't stand it on the Fourth Master. "If something big happened, I haven't suffered any punishment, right?"
The couple hadn't seen each other for more than half a year. The Fourth Master took the opportunity to stand up and said with a smile: "It's okay. I've just been kneeling for half a night."
"Have you taken the medicine?" Lin Yutong pretended to pull the Fourth Master's hand and took the opportunity to take his pulse.
"I've used it." The Fourth Master pulled Lin Yutong's hand back, "You're worried too, right?"
Lin Yutong nodded, "How scary. Hearing the wind, people in the capital didn't dare to walk around."
The Fourth Master sighed slightly, "It will pass." People are forgetful, and they forget when they turn around.
Lin Yutong leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Who did it?"
The two were very close, and a soft breath came to the face. The Fourth Master smiled and took the opportunity to bring the person into his arms. He also whispered: "I will tell you if I have served you..."
