Chapter 38: Earth-shattering (4)
Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace, all the doors and windows of the hall are closed, and a few sparse rays of light are reflected into the hall along the transparent glass, and a long figure is refracted on the golden brick floor that is as bright as a mirror. "Words * love * first * hair [full text reading baoly] and silently kneeling like a sculpture for a long time, Hongshi always has a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, elegant and relaxed.
And the emperor who was sitting on the throne of the hundred patterns of the red cloud dragon kept staring at the person kneeling below, his eyes were cold and faint, like a god, through the mist of incense. The rich fragrance was deposited in the breath, piling up thicker and thicker, pressing heavily on the chest, so stuffy that people were about to suffocate.
In this way, the king and the minister, the father and the son, who care for each other and are speechless, are confronted, anxious, and tormented
Until, Hongshi finally couldn't hold it back, and opened his mouth first, "Why didn't Huang Ama question his sons"
Yongzheng stared at him with the same eyes, "Ask you what you are trying to kill, when the important ministers of the court, deceive the supply of armaments, or corrupt the law, these are not all conclusive, why do you need me to question again."
The corners of Hongshi's mouth were slightly cold, turning all his hatred into a sneer, "Are these crimes really important?"
"Oh, then what do you say is the most important" Yongzheng's voice was low, but it echoed in the hall with great shock.
"The origin of the fourth brother Hongli", Hongshi hit the nail on the head, and his eyes became cold, "Huang Ama summoned his ministers alone, not because he was afraid that this matter would be known by others." β
Yongzheng was right, word by word, and said very clearly, "What identity can he have with Hongli's identity, he is my son and the future prince of the Qing Dynasty." β
When Hongshi heard this, a tingle flashed in his eyes, and he smiled bitterly, "Huang Ama really wants him to be the prince." But," he shouted loudly, "He is not worthy of him at all, he is not the biological son of Concubine Xi, his biological mother is a Han person."
"Enough", Yongzheng didn't want to listen to it anymore, at that moment, his heart was sour, and he sighed helplessly, "I know that you have resented my partiality since you were a child, and you hate me for favoring the fourth elder brother more than you." You are jealous, you are unwilling, and you even embarrass him everywhere and oppose him. Yes, I admit that you are gifted and intelligent, and you are better than the old four in terms of learning and kung fu, but you are too shrewd and calculating, and you are extremely ambitious, so I can teach me how to trust the Qing Dynasty to you. β
"The nonsense you said is just an excuse to excuse Hongli. He has half Han blood in his body, and he doesn't deserve it at all," Hiroshi almost roared.
"It doesn't matter who his Eniang is, the important thing is that his emperor Ama is me" Yongzheng's expression had a cold determination that could not be refuted.
Hongshi was stunned by his momentum, his body shook slightly, but he quickly sneered again, "You know, you obviously know yes, without your consent, how dare Concubine Xi be so bold to steal the phoenix and turn the dragon." Actually, you decided from the beginning, is it why why is it because his Han mother used to be the person of your heart, hehe, ridiculous, really ridiculous, I don't accept it, I don't accept it"
"What if you don't accept it. I am the Son of Heaven, I said that he was born to Concubine Xi, who dares to chew the root of his tongue", Yongzheng shouted.
Hongshi was unwilling, what did he do wrong, and let his Ama be so ruthless, "I am your eldest son, my Eniang Concubine Qi is more noble than Concubine Xi, and I have done better than Hongli, why do you still want to give him the throne, you sue sΓΉ, I sue sΓΉ, I will lose, and I will be convinced." β
In the face of his questioning, Yongzheng was speechless for a while, in the silence he seemed to see the eyes full of resentment and tears again, he repentantly clenched her hand, and swore with his life that he would not treat her son badly in this life, and he would compensate her for the loss of the world with the world. And now, in the face of another pair of resentful eyes, he didn't know how to explain it. Perhaps, this is the retribution for killing too much in his life, he smiled bitterly and relentlessly again, "Hongshi, if you are content with your duty, you can also enjoy the dignity of the prince in the future, and now, if I don't punish you, how can I be worthy of the soldiers and officials of the court who were brutalized by you." β
At this moment, how could Hongshi still not see the reality clearly, yes, he never lost to anyone, but lost to his own Emperor Ama's ruthlessness, since the father does not recognize the son, why should he recognize the father again, he took out a notebook from his sleeve, looked at the Emperor Ama, who he had been in awe for more than 20 years, resentment, hatred, hatred All the accumulated feelings were vented in his gaze, "This is Li Rongbao's own handwritten testimony about Hongli's origin, if the son of the minister makes it public in the world, does Huang Ama think that the fourth child can still be the emperor?"
"You, you actually dare to threaten me" Yongzheng was stunned for a moment, then glared at him angrily, suddenly got up and walked off the throne, walked in front of him and slapped him hard, and repeated, "You actually dare to threaten me in order to win the heir"
"What about the threat" Hiroshi spat out a mouthful of blood, a distorted smile on his face, "You even killed your own brother back then, why can't I besides, in your eyes, there has never been a son of mine, why should I respect you as a father." β
Yongzheng was angry, snatched the testimony in his hand and tore it to pieces.
Hongshi laughed presumptuously, "Do you think I'm stupid enough to take the original to see you, that's just a hand-copied transcript, I have ordered someone to secretly hide his handwritten blood book, if I encounter any accidents, he will immediately make the original public in the world, and then, no one will want to be the emperor, hahahaha~~"
"You're crazy, you're crazy", Yongzheng's eyes widened in confusion, he didn't expect him to be so worried, obviously he was already in ruin.
"Yes, I'm crazy, I'm driven crazy by you and Hongli. If you don't crown me the crown prince today, then wait for your most beloved fourth elder brother to be ruined. His smile became more and more fierce, and the whites of his eyes even popped up with crimson bloodshots, revealing the ruthlessness of his eyes.
Yongzheng was forced by him to be powerless to fight back, staggered back to the throne, and when he was in a dilemma, Su Peisheng ran in small steps, his voice was hurried, "Your Majesty, someone has trespassed on the palace gate and has been taken down by the guards, but she said that there is something important to present to the emperor." β
"What kind of person" Yongzheng frowned slightly.
Su Peisheng glanced at Hongshi before replying, "This person's name is Feng Niang, and he claims to be the confidant of the third elder brother. β
Hongshi shook suddenly, Yongzheng saw his reaction in his eyes, but he wanted to see what tricks the master and servant were playing again, and raised his voice, "Bring her in." β
Su Peisheng tied Feng Niang and brought her into the hall, she looked at Yongzheng coldly, and was reluctant to kneel at first, until Su Peisheng kicked her in the knee socket, and she had to kneel.
"You have something for me," Yongzheng looked at her with deep eyes.
Feng Niang slowly raised her eyes to look at him, and said without fear, "Yes." But you have to promise to let me go, or you won't want to get it. β
"What do you have that I really want," Yongzheng said in disbelief.
"Li Rongbao's handwritten blood letter"
As soon as these words came out, Hongshi was already angry, "You dare to betray me", and he was about to hit his throat to the fatal point, but Su Peisheng tied his arms with his backhand and couldn't move, "Third elder brother, how can you be wild in front of the emperor." β
"Third elder brother, as the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food. I'm just trying to find a way to live for myself", Feng Niang sighed long, "You are gone, you can't drag us to die with you." β
"Yes, I promise you. As long as you hand over the original, I will let you go", Yongzheng made a promise.
Feng Niang just smiled, there was not much expression on her face, took out the testimony and handed it to him, Yongzheng took a look, this is Li Rongbao's handwriting, but the dried blood stains made him feel a pain in his heart, and I don't know if this old minister can be saved. He waved his hand in relief, "Okay, you can go." β
Feng Niang got up and bowed her hand to Hongshi, "Third elder brother, take care of yourself." β
Hiroshi lost his mind and scolded, "You'd better get out of the way, don't let me find it, or I'll make your life worse than death."
"Come on, shut Hirotoki's mouth, I don't want to hear his voice again. Locked up in the Zongren Mansion first, and then I will think about what to do with him."
"Yes", Su Peisheng forcibly covered his mouth, summoned the guards outside the hall, and escorted the people away.
Yongzheng sat on the throne and unfolded Li Rongbao's blood book again, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and casually threw the blood into the incense burner. ~
