269 Chapter 269: The Emperor's Game (1)
When the little eunuch saw the shocked expression of the prince, his heart became even more anxious, this is mainly because his body has not been as good as before in the past two years, and these eunuchs are once a son of heaven and a courtier.
If it was really long live, the days left for them could be imagined how difficult it was, because this time when his master Li Dequan asked him to come to Prince Xuanyong, he didn't even ask the specific situation, he just hurriedly pulled out his legs and ran to call Prince Yong.
Of course, there were also a few eunuchs who went to announce a few princes and elder brothers, but he ran in a hurry, and he didn't know much about the specifics when he asked about the specifics.
However, when asked by the prince at this time, the little eunuch hurriedly said:
"Yes, the prince, the specific minions are not very clear, only that Banzai was cold last night, and he began to cough this morning, and his body was very sleepy, so he quickly asked the slave to call the prince and preside over the affairs."
Yongzheng didn't know what kind of charter Huang Ama was, so he hurriedly called the little eunuch to get up, and took Gao Wuyong, who had not yet had time to go out, and followed the little eunuch to Kangxi's other garden.
As soon as Yongzheng arrived at the courtyard of the Kangxi Royal Palace, he found Li Dequan guarding outside with an anxious face, and when he saw him arrive, the anxious expression on his face eased, and then he hurriedly pulled him in.
As soon as he entered the house, Yongzheng found that the whole house was a little cool, it was April weather, and it should be warmer.
But when he went in, he felt that the room was cold, and Huang Ama was afraid that he would be infected with the wind cold because of his body last night.
However, he didn't care so much at this time, so he hurriedly walked over, knelt down and asked Kangxi to say goodbye: "Erchen asks Huang Ama to say goodbye, and respectfully asks Huang Ama Wanfu Jin'an!" ”
Kangxi was half lying on the soft collapse at this time, and when he saw the fourth child arrive, he was really happy, and he didn't care about the fact that several imperial doctors were diagnosing the pulse at this time, so he hurriedly waved to Yongzheng.
Then let Li Dequan sit down, and then said: "The fourth child is here, hurry up!" ”
As soon as Yongzheng sat on the soft seat, he immediately hurriedly asked about the condition of the imperial physician Kangxi, "Imperial physician, how is the condition of Huang Ama?" ”
He couldn't help but worry about Kangxi's condition at this time, you must know that their southern tour had just walked more than half of the way, and today, Huang Ama still had to meet with a group of officials who wanted to report to the river.
Moreover, if we look at the situation on the side of the governor of Xialiangjiang, whether or not to re-promote and appoint officials, these matters can be big or small, in short, they must not be sloppy.
What's more, Yongzheng was worried about the prince in Beijing at this time, he didn't think that the prince would rebel, but in the letter between the sticky Xuan and Su Peisheng this time, they all said that there was a change in the Jingshi, that is, there must be two points of instability in the capital.
If the rumor of Huang Amma's illness is spread back to the capital, you can imagine what kind of shock it will be today.
Maybe the prince doesn't rebel, and the people below the prince may not be able to sit still, and if they don't take advantage of such a good opportunity, they will completely send someone to assassinate them.
When the imperial doctor heard Prince Yong's questioning with pressure, he was so frightened that they were all unstable in their pulses, and only stammered back:
"Back to ...... Back to the ......, back to the prince's words, Banzai is infected with wind and cold this time, and when the old minister prescribes two pills to Banzai to drink, it should be fine. ”
Kangxi saw it and quipped: "Fourth, I see that you are in a hurry, I am fine, I have been like this for the past two years, I am used to it, and you are still making a fuss." ”
After speaking, Kangxi covered his mouth and coughed again, saying that since the beginning of thirty-eight years, Kangxi felt slightly dizzy, and he knew that his body was beginning to decline, and it was only at this time that Kangxi really had to serve the old.
Yongzheng hurriedly stepped forward to pat Kangxi on the back, and hurriedly ordered the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription, and ordered the little eunuch to go down to grab the medicine.
Soon, several princes and brothers led by the eldest elder brother, the eldest elder brother, and the third elder brother Prince Chengyin.
The fifth elder brother is the king of Hengwen County, the seventh elder brother is the king of Chundu County, the eighth elder brother is the king of Lian County, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother have all arrived.
And the rare, I don't know where to get the news, Honghui led by the emperor's grandson, all arrived with a group of emperors and grandchildren, and the first to bear the brunt is Hongzhao, who has always loved to pounce on people.
As soon as he heard that his Huang Marfa was sick, he asked Yilu to get up early this morning and dressed him up, and pulled him to hang the third brother, the third sister, and the eldest brother in the house, Honghui, and hurriedly ran to Kangxi's yard.
As soon as he entered Kangxi's house at this moment, he didn't care about him next to him, and he didn't even have time to speak, so he hurriedly rushed into Kangxi's arms, and said with childish words in his mouth:
"Huang Ma Fa, Zhao'er is here, who bullied Huang Ma Fa and made Huang Ma Fa sick. The third sister told Zhao'er that it would hurt very much if she was sick, and Zhao'er blew it on Huang Marfa, and it didn't hurt when she blew it. ”
Yongzheng heard the voice of the little fat dun Hongzhao, and his temples on both sides jumped suddenly, this little guy knew that he was messing up, but he didn't see that it was like this here, and he drilled into the arms of Huang Ama.
Therefore, Yongzheng hurriedly lifted Hongzhao out of Kangxi's arms, walked to Hongxi's side, put Hongzhao into Hongxi's arms, and before leaving, he was not busy ordering:
"Look at your brother, don't make a mess."
Xiao Chubby Dun was dissatisfied, obviously when Huang Mafa was uncomfortable before, he comforted him like this.
He didn't understand why Amma wouldn't allow him to relieve Huang Mafa's pain like this today.
But in the end, now in the arms of the third brother, the third brother, who has always been hanging from the sky, shook his head at him, and he knew that he shouldn't move now, otherwise he would be beaten later.
Therefore, he accepted his concern for Huang Marfa, and only waited anxiously on the side.
Honghui next to him saw it, and the resentment in his eyes flashed, on weekdays in the palace, if you want to say who Huang Marfa likes the most, the first thing to bear the brunt of this is as the emperor's grandson.
But of course, it was before the dragon and phoenix fetuses were born, but since the birth of the dragon and phoenix fetuses, Huang Marfa's favor for the dragon and phoenix fetus turned out to be the same as him, and he was simply gampered, especially this little fat man, how indulgent Huang Marfa was to him.
Sure enough, soon he heard Huang Mafa's voice coming: "Fourth, don't scare Hongzhao." ”
After speaking, he beckoned to Hongzhao and said, "Zhao'er, come to Huang Mafa, it's okay, don't worry about you Amma." ”
In the end, hindering Amma's presence, Xiao Chubby Dun didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he just stayed in Hongxi's arms, shook his head at Kangxi, and shouted softly: "Huang Ma Fa...... You have to get well quickly. ”
Kangxi was moved in the end, and then another prince and grandson asked, at this time, the little eunuch went down to boil the medicine, and as soon as he brought it in, the concubines led by the queen mother arrived, and the small room was a little crowded for a while.
It can be seen that the emperor is coming, Kangxi hurriedly stayed, ready to go up to help the queen mother sit down, or the queen mother saw it, hurriedly walked over, helped Kangxi, and blamed:
"Hey, don't move, I'm sick, and I don't take care of my body."
The voice of the queen mother was a little worried in the light, to say that in the palace, the most reluctant Kangxi to die, in addition to the servants and concubines who were waiting, the one who was most afraid of Kangxi's death was the queen mother.
This has nothing to do with emotion or not, Kangxi is not the biological son of the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother has nothing to do in her life, and after getting along with Kangxi, she naturally has feelings.
Especially since Kangxi came to power, he has honored her with the gift of the queen mother, and gave her all the harem women to sit in the highest esteemed position throughout her life, and the queen mother was of course moved.
On the other hand, it is also powerful and prosperous, although the next emperor, no matter who becomes the emperor, will not treat her much, but who knows if it will be like Kangxi, it is difficult to say how filial piety to her.
So as soon as she heard that Kangxi was sick this morning, she was so scared that she didn't even have time to use breakfast, so she hurriedly brought a group of palace concubines who came to greet her to visit Kangxi.
Kangxi shook his head at the Empress Dowager and said comfortingly: "My son is fine, why are you here?" ”
After speaking, after the queen mother finished feeding the medicine, she then comforted the concubines and sent everyone back.
After the group left, Kangxi passed on the order again, asking the officials who came to visit the sick to go back first, and only ordered to report to the river affairs in the afternoon.
Then, despite the strong opposition of Yongzheng and the princes, he ordered that if nothing was delayed, he would continue to patrol the river south tomorrow.
Emperor Kangxi was ill, and all affairs were handed over to Prince Zhi, the third brother, Prince Chengyin, Yongzheng and the eighth brother Lian County King, so after visiting Kangxi, Yongzheng began to get busy again.
Soon, under the auspices of Yongzheng and others, a group of people began to arrive at Kangxi's imperial boat in the early afternoon and began to report on river transportation and other affairs.
In the imperial boat, Kangxi was already slightly angry, and said: "The imperial court has been poor for decades, and the cost is very huge, so let you rest and build an embankment, I thought that I could return a peaceful and clear yellow water in the world."
However, in 37 years, they still allowed the 'Yellow River to burst its banks' and kept it hidden, resulting in more floods in the Yellow River, directly flooding, endangering more than a dozen prefectures and counties.
The victims are even more displaced, is it that if I don't send Prince Yong down this time, you will continue to ignore the people of my country like this? ”
After speaking, Kangxi was even more angry, originally this time the old man came down for disaster relief in 438 years, all the victims were well settled, and the river embankment led by several officials led by Yu Jackie Chan and Shi Shilun was also built very well, and it should be fine if I went to check this time.
But the problem is that in the past two years, Suo Etu, an old horseman, actually defended the prince's will and sent his own people to go up in order to embezzle silver taels.
Originally, it was also a dam, as long as the embankment was built, don't cut corners, but where there is a little rain or water, there is nothing at all.
But the bad thing is that in the forty-first year of this year, only in March and April, the rain in the Yellow River has increased again, and this time the people who were falsely reported by Suo Etu to the prince's will went up to build the embankment, and some of the embankments burst.
Fortunately, this is only in the lower tributaries of the Yellow River, etc., after Jackie Chan and Shi Shilun and others found out, they hurriedly remedied it, but even so, Kangxi was still angry, which also made Kangxi determined to clean up the claim.
Thinking of this southern tour, some time ago, he deliberately stopped the ya, and the officials who came here to pick up the driver, Kangxi was angry again, and these officials knew that they were patting him on the back.
When he was doing things, there were not many people who could afford it, and when he thought of the Qing Dynasty after he left, if he didn't handle it well, he would be bored, and he was not at ease in his heart.
The prince has always been the proud candidate of the prince in Kangxi's heart, and when it comes to learning, talent, learning and filial piety, etc., the prince is first-class among all the princes.
But the prince also has a shortcoming, that is, the royal majesty has a problem, and I don't know if it is because he spoils him too much, which causes the prince to always have two distractions in the officials led by Suo Etu.
It would be good if it was a peaceful and prosperous era, but once he encountered the 'Rebellion of the Three Feudatories', the 'Taiwan Rebellion' and so on that he needed to be deterred by iron and blood.
The prince added a little weakness, which was the fundamental reason why Kangxi had to clean up Suo Etu.
Therefore, this time, Kangxi became angry again, and scolded a group of officials who came to receive him.
Ma Qi, Yu Chenglong, Shi Shilun, Zhang Yu and other officials who reported on the affairs of the newspaper knelt on the ground in fear, not daring to say a word.
Everyone knows that Kangxi almost had an accident in the Yellow River this time, which led to the flooding of the Yellow River, and he was not angry with the prince's party headed by Suo Etu, or at a deeper level, he was angry with the prince.
Everyone also knew that fortunately there was no loss this time, and Kangxi was angry at this time, but he was just venting his emotions.
Therefore, everyone lowered their heads and let Kangxi vent all kinds of frustration.
After Kangxi vented his frustration, he began to arrange the specific affairs behind him, first transferring Li Hui, who is currently the governor of Huguang.
Guo Xiu, who had performed well in the past few years, was reappointed as the governor of Huguang and ordered him to take up his post immediately.
Then Li Hui, the former governor of Huguang, was transferred to Beijing and appointed as the Ministry of Industry for Lang. And Yu Jackie Chan, Kangxi ordered Yu Jackie Chan to be in charge of the political affairs of the governors of the two places. Ma Qi was newly transferred to Wu Yingdian University.
Two teams led by Yongzheng and Eighth Brother were arranged to inspect the river work respectively.
Kangxi had just finished arranging the affairs, but at this time, Li Dequan came in with a slender yellow seal box and stood quietly aside.
When Kangxi saw it, he said to Ma Qi, Zhang Yu, Yu Chenglong and other officials:
"You all go down on an errand, and I have carefully drawn up my will, and then I will use the seal here."
In the cabin, after all the officials and princes went out, Li Dequan carefully sent the box and said:
"Long live, Suzhou weaves Li Xu's dense fold." Kangxi nodded. Use your fingernails to gently scratch open the paper seal on the box and take out a fold from it.
After reading a few sentences, his face became ugly, and he asked with a thick anger: "The excerpt was sent by Li Xu himself?" ”
Seeing this, Li Dequan replied cautiously: "If you go back to your master, Li Xu will stay in Suzhou with the order to prepare for all things, and this excerpt was sent by the people around Li Xu. ”
Kangxi was silent for a while before he said: "I know, I'm a little tired, you go down, I'll call you again if there's something." ”
Li Dequan answered, and gently closed the door when he went out.
Kangxi was already a little infected with wind and cold last night, and after drinking the medicine this morning, and he has always been good at exercising on weekdays, although his body is far less than when he was young, but in the end, this wind and cold is still unharmed for Kangxi.
But this time when he received Li Xu's secret fold, he still felt two points of heartache and depression.
It turned out that it was the son of Suo Etu specially arranged by Kangxi this time, Gelfin, who originally received an errand for the second-class guard, and this time Kangxi went south to explore the affairs first.
But after the second son of Suo Etu, Gelfin, arrived in Suzhou, he began to secretly meet with local officials.
also pretended to spread the prince's will, so that local officials searched everywhere for a good-looking teenager, and also swore a hint that it was the prince's intention.
This incident of Suo Etu's son completely angered Kangxi.
He didn't know if the prince really was hiding something about him, or if he was just wronged, but Kangxi was still angry.
First, he sent an edict to continue to sail south, and then ordered the third elder brother, Prince Chengyin, to take Suo Etu's son, return to Beijing in advance, and hand it over to Suo Etu to personally discipline him.
The reason why Kangxi did not let the eldest elder brother go to the prince to detain people this time was because the eldest elder brother and the prince have always been at odds.
He was afraid that Prince Eldest Brother Zhi would take advantage of this incident to deal with the prince in person, and then the matter would be out of control.
In the final analysis, Kangxi still feels sorry for the prince, no matter how many things that are unfavorable to the prince, as long as he does not touch Kangxi's bottom line, Kangxi silently blocked a lot of disasters for the prince.
Therefore, it is even more impossible for Kangxi to leave such a big stain on the crown prince for such a big matter this time, so he sent Prince Chengyin, the third elder brother, who has always been soft and sleepy, to do this matter.
But the will just said that his will was to first announce that the son of Etu would return to Beijing, and the third elder brother had always listened to Kangxi's words, and usually Kangxi would do whatever he wanted.
There are very few things to explore other than his poetry and songs, so Kangxi will be so relieved to hand over this matter to him this time.
The next day, after Kangxi's decree was issued, soon the imperial boat and the ships of a group of harem ladies led by the queen mother continued to patrol the river in the mighty south.
But the strange thing is that when Kangxi went south to continue patrolling the river this time, his body was already gradually healing.
Kangxi asked the people in the shadows to return to Beijing through a secret decree, saying that Emperor Kangxi was seriously ill and asked the prince to come to visit......
