In the dungeon, there is a moment of extreme tranquility. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Then, Yu Jin shook the chain on his arm, and he smiled: "Congratulations to the eighth master, congratulations to the eighth master!" The goal you have been fighting for for half your life has finally been achieved! ”

After a brief period of surprise, the eighth elder brother frowned slightly, and he bowed to Kangxi and said, "Erchen respectfully asks the emperor to take back his fate, Erchen can't be the prince." ”

Kangxi nodded calmly: "I know you have to say this, but this matter is not child's play, now that the situation has come to this point, since you can't leave the Qing Dynasty, you must take this responsibility." ”

The eighth elder brother looked at Yinzhen: "The position of the prince should be given to my fourth brother." ”

"I've already told Huang Ama to let him be replaced." Yin Zhen said lightly, "I don't want to be Yongzheng anymore." ”

"I don't want to!"

Kangxi suddenly said sharply: "The matter of succession is a big deal!" How can you wait to push and stop! ”

Yu Jin laughed on the side: "Your Majesty, do you really plan to pass on the throne to Eighth Elder Brother?" Aren't you worried? ”

Kangxi said coldly: "What do I have to worry about? ”

"Don't look at the eighth elder brother is gentle and elegant, he always has a kind face, in fact, his temperament is more radical and irritable than your fourth brother. When the time comes, he will give you a whole republic, will you be able to stand it? ”

Kangxi was stunned: "Republican? What's that? ”

"It's just that there is no emperor's way of the world!" Yu Jin dragged out his voice and said, "When the time comes, the Qing Dynasty will be gone, and the eunuchs and slaves will be gone, in view of the character of the eighth master's beloved wife's family, there will definitely be no need for the three palaces and six courtyards, and then there will be a land reform, and even this palace will not be your family." ”

Eighth Elder Brother smiled slightly: "Isn't that exactly what you want as a patriot?" Yu Jin, are you afraid that I will carry out changes in Daqing and put your life into it? ”

Yu Jin hadn't spoken yet, but Kangxi said in a deep voice: "The eighth will not be so reckless. ”

Yu Jin only smiled, but did not make a sound.

Kangxi turned around and walked towards the exit of the dungeon, he took two steps, stopped again, and turned his head to look at Yu Jin.

"Daqing, if it's gone, it's gone." Kangxi's tone was flat, "Since I handed over the throne to him, of course I let him be the master of the world." ”

Yin Zhen looked at Kangxi in amazement, he turned his head to look at Yu Jin again, and then found that for the first time, this guy had a look of admiration on his face.

The father and son came out of the dungeon, and Yin Zhen looked at the blue sky outside the courtyard, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The eighth elder brother looked at Kangxi, he still wanted to say something, but he knew that saying it would only stimulate the old man to get angry.

Kangxi understood what he meant, and only said lightly: "What I said just now is not child's play. ”

Because he was not at ease, Yinzhen asked the eighth elder brother and the family to stay, and he took Gao Wuyong and two cronies, took a few guns, and personally escorted Kangxi back to the palace.

Along the way, sitting in the car, Yinzhen checked the chamber and bullets, Gao Wuyong and the two cronies were also armed with firearms, and they were always guarded around the carriage.

Kangxi looked at Yinzhen, and he suddenly asked, "Fourth, what do you think?" ”

Realizing that Kangxi was referring to the establishment of the eighth elder brother as the prince, Yinzhen immediately said: "Huang Ama did the right thing. ”

Kangxi nodded: "I have thought about it, the important task in the future can only be handed over to you and the eighth child." After the eighth child ascends the throne, you will be his right and left hand, and then the two of you will ......"

Kangxi said this, stopped, and then he sighed softly.

"What else can I say? I don't know anything about what you're going to do, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to figure it out. ”

Yin Zhen understood that Kangxi was still hit by Yu Jin today.

This made him feel sad, but at the same time, he felt that he seemed to be closer to Kangxi.

"Huang Ama doesn't have to worry about the crazy things that Yu Jinna said." He finally said.

Kangxi was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Fourth, how many years has the Qing Dynasty been in total?" ”

Yin Zhen was taken aback: "Huang Ama! ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Yinzhen's words were bitter: "Two hundred and seventy-six years." ”

Kangxi nodded slightly: "I expected it." When did the downhill start to go? ”

"After the death of Hongli. This child lived a long life, reigned for sixty years, and served as the emperor for another three years, but soon after his death, the Qing Dynasty showed a decadent appearance, and then it was out of control, like a broken car rushing over a cliff. ”

"Why?" Kangxi asked in surprise, "How could it be so quickly decadent in just two generations?!" ”

Yin Zhen looked at him in a daze, and for a long time, he said with difficulty: "Because ......"

He couldn't go on.

Kangxi looked at him like this, and he kind of understood.

"It's like today, I talked to that Yu Jin, right? We gradually become 'ignorant of anything', and let people bully and mock us, and we don't know why. ”

Yin Zhen only felt that his chest was as sad as a knife!

"No wonder I don't read the Four Books and the Five Classics anymore." Kangxi raised his head and looked at the top of the sedan chair, he sighed softly, "No wonder you and the eighth child all have to learn foreign languages, the fourth, at that time, the rules of this world will have to be decided by foreigners, right?" ”

Yin Zhen didn't know how to explain this kind of thing, he thought hard for a long time before he reluctantly said: "It's just that some common rules have been formed, and these rules were not determined by us at the beginning." ”

"Why can't we make the rules?"

At this time, Yinzhen can't answer, and it is impossible for Kangxi to understand modern international politics.

Kangxi suddenly said: "The responsibility lies with me." ”

Yin Zhen shook his head: "It's not Huang Ama's fault, just like the eighth said, some things are the trend of the times." Huang Ama, the world is changing, and the people in the world are also changing, especially technology will drive...... In short, this is a heavenly force, not a human determination. ”

Kangxi's expression seemed to be caught in some kind of unpredictable thought.

"It can't go on like this!"

Yin Zhen was stunned!

The old emperor turned his face to look at Yinzhen, his voice was resolute, "Even if the emperor is gone, even if it really becomes the so-called 'republic', the fourth, no matter what, you have to change this ending!" I don't understand what you're talking about, I don't know what to do, I only ask for one thing, you and the eighth, can't let the Qing Dynasty become a joke in the whole world! ”

Strange excitement permeated Yinzhen's whole body, and he even thought that even if he was appointed to succeed him ten years later, he would not have such a strong excitement!

"Son, obey!"

Yinzhen sent Kangxi all the way back to the palace, and found Delentai again, and told him heavily that he must be careful of the safety of the palace.

In addition, he told Kangxi that there would likely be a war next.

"And those people, you mean?"

"Yes." Yin Zhen said, "When the time comes, I implore Huang Ama to close the palace door and never come out of the palace!" ”

Kangxi was surprised: "How can that work!" There's a fight outside, and you're still telling me to sit in the palace?! ”

"Huang Ama must stay in the palace!" Yin Zhen's tone was firm, "The weapon they use has also been seen by Emperor Amma, and without the same firearms to fight, coming out is equivalent to sending them to death." Huang Ama, this matter will be handed over to the sons and eighth elder brothers, and the ministers will inevitably drive them out of the Qing Dynasty! But in the process, please don't come out of the palace! As long as you are there, they will not be able to subvert the Qing Dynasty! ”

After a long time, Kangxi finally nodded: "I understand." ”

Before leaving, Yinzhen took off the watch again and put it on Kangxi's wrist.

"What is this?" Kangxi was very surprised, "Look, like a foreigner's thing? ”

"This can look at the time, but more importantly, it can help Huang Ama remember all this." Yinzhen said, "As long as it is there, Huang Ama will not forget what has happened in the past few days." ”

Kangxi shook his head: "Fourth, you are too worried, no matter how confused I am, it is impossible for me to forget the events of the past few days." ”

"You don't want to forget, but they can make you forget it all." Yin Zhen smiled bitterly, "Yu Jin, they have this kind of means." At that time, only this watch can help you, Huang Ama, and whatever happens, please don't take it off......"

He paused, and suddenly choked up with sadness: "Maybe Erchen and Eighth Brother will encounter accidents, even if they save their lives, they will probably forget all this." Huang Ama, once that time comes, Erchen and Eighth Elder Brother will be the same as they were five years ago: they don't know anything, fighting for the throne to the death. However, even if the retainers forget, the emperor must not forget! Erchen believes that even if everyone forgets, as long as Huang Ama does not forget, you will be able to make the right decision. ”

When he came back from the palace, Yinzhen came into the study, only to find that the eighth elder brother was sitting in front of the window in a daze.

He walked over to the eighth elder brother and sat down.

For a while, the two of them looked out the window at the white clouds and dogs, both speechless.

"The old man is confused." Eighth Brother said suddenly.

Yin Zhen sighed lightly: "Don't talk about him like that, in his opinion, this is the perfect solution." ”

"Let a person who doesn't intend to serve the Qing Dynasty be the Son of Heaven at all, is it a foolproof strategy?"

Yin Zhen shook his head: "If we can escape, we will naturally leave, but the eighth child, what if we can't escape from now on?" What if we really have to stay in Daqing for the rest of our lives? ”

Eighth Elder Brother lowered his head, his fingers caressed a pale blue jade pendant, and the cold-colored jade pendant exuded a dazzling light between his fingers.

"I'm not a man fit to be a prince." He finally raised his head and looked at Yinzhen, "It's not because there are too many henchmen, Yu Jin is right, I'm easy to lose proportion in doing things, and it's okay if I'm not in that position, if I am given too much power, I can't help but change it." ”

"Then change." Yin Zhen didn't look at him, just looked out the window, "Are you afraid?" ”

Eighth Elder Brother smiled: "Am I someone who can be afraid?" Fourth brother, haven't you thought about it? The end result of the change is likely to be unsatisfactory, this is a blood sacrifice, and one step forward is an abyss. You and I were kicked out of the palace to be civilians, that is already the best choice, the anger accumulated by the whole nation is already very, very terrible, according to the current public situation, it is more likely that the two of us will join hands in the guillotine - if not the two of us, but also our descendants. ”

Yinzhen's face remained unchanged, and he still said, "So, are you afraid?" ”

Eighth Elder Brother smiled and sighed: "Are you still here to play really?" ”

"I'm not afraid." Yin Zhen said calmly, "If you can escape, it is best to go naturally." If I really can't leave, I have to stay here for the rest of my life, then I'd rather turn it upside down. Let everything remain as it is, I might as well die. ”

The eighth elder brother lowered his head and looked at the piece of jade in his hand, and he finally said, "For the country and the people, I'm not interested." I'm a selfish person in my bones, and I don't feel comfortable with anything other than fulfilling my wishes. If I don't like it, I will remove the obstacle, and if I become an obstacle, I will remove it. As long as I have a shred of power in my hands, don't expect me to compromise for others. ”

When he said this, he looked up at Yinzhen: "Fourth brother, I'm like this, if I go too far, I'm likely to become a demon." ”

Yin Zhen laughed.

"People who become demons never feel that they will become demons. Rest assured, you're not alone. And about the future, I'm more optimistic than you. It's still too early to make the situation so serious all at once, but from now on, rebuild a set of values from the top down, improve the political system little by little, educate the bottom, open up the gap and release the flood, and the situation will change in 50 years at most. Even if we have to sacrifice, we can reduce the sacrifice to a minimum......"

"What is the lowest?"

Yin Zhen looked up at the sky: "...... You and me. ”

He looked at the eighth elder brother again, and deliberately turned his face blank: "No matter what, you have to pull a cushion." ”

The eighth elder brother couldn't help laughing when he said it: "Since the fourth brother said so, then what else do I have to complain about?" ”

"But that's another story." Yin Zhen stood up, he looked in the direction of the dungeon, and whispered, "The most important thing right now is to win this battle!" (To be continued.) )
