On that day, I also went to the Palace of Nourishing Heart as usual, I didn't want Kangxi to summon Fang Bao, this person was known as the Prime Minister of Buyi, although he did not participate in politics, but he had the right to discuss politics, and because he had no interests with all parties in the court, he won Kangxi's trust

Ling Ruo was inconvenient to enter, so under the guidance of Li Dequan, he carried Hongli, who was asleep on the road, to Dongnuan Pavilion to rest temporarily. After Ling Ruo put Hongli in a big chair, he looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall when he was idle, and the East Nuan Pavilion was only separated by a wall from the main hall, so that Ling Ruo faintly heard the sound coming from the main hall, and couldn't help but get close to the wall and listen quietly.

"I am now sixty years old, and I have been on the throne for more than 50 years, and when the ancestor handed over the ancestral inheritance to me, I swore in my heart that I must keep this inheritance well, and not let anyone with bad intentions have the opportunity to subvert it. This is Kangxi's voice, and he is the only one in the world who will call himself me.

"It is not easy for the emperor to ascend the throne at the age of Chongling, and it is not easy to have today's achievements, and countless emperors in the past dynasties can be compared with the emperor, but there are only a handful of them." If Ling Ruo didn't know this voice, he thought it was the cloth-clothed prime minister in Li Dequan's mouth.

Kangxi seemed to laugh, and then said, "A handful of numbers? You are really, and you have not boasted of me as if there is nothing in heaven or on earth like other people. After pausing for a moment, Kangxi said again in the heavy scattered sighs: "It's a pity that people will eventually grow old one day, and I am the same, my body is not as good as day by day, and I am already powerless in the face of state affairs." ”

"The emperor has many princes, all of whom are capable officials, and the emperor can hand over political affairs to the princes to do." Fang Bao said.

"This is precisely the most difficult thing for me to decide, Mr. Fang, in your opinion, which prince should I pass on?" The words that came from the other side of the wall made Ling Ruo's heart suddenly tighten, and he didn't expect that Kangxi summoned Fang Bao to meet him for this matter, although it was just to ask, but since he would ask it, it meant that he wanted to listen to Fang Bao's opinion.|i^

Ling Ruo leaned his ear closer to the wall a few more minutes, trying to hear the conversation in the main hall more clearly.

After waiting for a long time, a voice came, "This matter should be decided by the emperor's cadres, and the grass people dare not speak out." "This matter is related to the future successor of the Qing Dynasty, even Fang Bao does not dare to say anything, a bad one will cause a catastrophe.

"It's okay, since you are allowed to say it, you can say it boldly, no matter what it is, I will not blame you." Kangxi is determined to listen to his opinion.

There was no sound in the main hall, and Ling Ruo knew in his heart that Fang Bao's next sentence would definitely affect the candidate for the prince in Kangxi's heart, so he became more and more nervous, and even breathed lightly, lest he miss a word.

"If the emperor can't decide among several princes, you might as well look at the Holy Sun, the Qing Dynasty, if there are three Ming monarchs in succession, at least the Qing Dynasty can be peaceful for a hundred years." Fang Bao did not specifically refer to which prince, but there was no doubt that his words pointed out a feasible path for Kangxi.

Ling Ruo didn't know what Kangxi thought in his heart, because after this sentence, he didn't hear Kangxi speak, only faintly heard the sound of opening the door, thinking that Fang Bao had retreated; After a short time, Li Dequan came to tell him that he could enter.

Ling Ruo undoubtedly hoped that Yinzhen would ascend the throne, because only when Yinzhen ascended the throne would she be qualified to take revenge on Shi Qiuci.

Shengsun ...... She turned her complicated gaze to Hongli, who was still asleep, this child is undoubtedly an excellent capital, Kangxi has always liked this grandson, if he can really enter Kangxi's eyes, then the possibility of Yinzhen succeeding to the throne will be greatly increased.

"E-niang! E-niang! Hongli's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, waking Ling Ruo up from his contemplation, Dingqing looked at it, only to see Hongli standing in front of him at some point, and hurriedly stroked his face and said, "What's the matter, is there something?" ”

"No, it's that my son's words have been written, and I want to ask E-Niang to rest together." Immediately, Hongli said curiously: "E-niang thought so much about it, and my son didn't hear it several times in a row." ”

"Nothing." After Ling Ruo replied casually, there was a time for the watch outside, and "Bang Bang Bang" sounded three times in a row, and it was already time to send Hongli to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Hongli had already washed up, stepped on deerskin boots and came to the dining room, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Ling Ruo sitting at the table, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his head and said, "My son asks Eniang to say goodbye." ”

"Sit down." Ling Ruo glanced at him gently, and put a bowl of millet porridge in front of him with his own hands, "Do you feel sleepy when you get up so early?" ”

"I'm a little sleepy, but it's okay." Hongli replied while eating millet porridge.

From last night to now, there are only three hours, for a child, these times must not be enough to sleep, it is difficult for Hongli to get up by himself, Ling Ruo said distressedly: "After going to your imperial grandfather's place later, if there is nothing to do in the afternoon, will you sleep and know the way?" ”

"Well, my son will, don't worry about it." Hongli obediently agreed.

After breakfast, Ling Ruo accompanied Hongli into the palace together, because of the matter of Jing Concubine before, so they went to Xianfu Palace first, and then went to Yangxin Palace.

Kangxi carefully checked the pieces of paper written by Hongli, and was quite satisfied, and was about to speak, when Li Dequan suddenly rushed in and hit Qian'er and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother fainted in Ciren Palace." ”

The queen mother in Li Dequan's mouth is the second queen of the first emperor, Borzigit, Kangxi respected her as the queen mother after ascending the throne, and she is also the most noble woman in the harem. However, this queen mother has always lived in a simple house, and rarely asks about the harem, and Ling Ruo has never seen it.

Kangxi was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What about the imperial doctor, have they all gone?" ”

"The palace people of Ciren Palace have already gone to invite, and they should have arrived at this moment."

Li Dequan's words did not reassure Kangxi, I saw him get up from behind the imperial case, walk out quickly, and said, "Go to Ci'an Palace." ”

"Grandpa Huang, Hongli also wants to see the Emperor's great-grandmother." Hongli followed behind Kangxi and said. He has been in the palace for three years, and he has met the queen mother several times, and he has a good impression of this kind and gentle great-grandmother.

Kangxi paused, glanced back at him, and when his gaze was withdrawn, he swept over Ling Ruo's bewildered face, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "You two should come along." ”

"The retainers obeyed." Ling Ruo hurriedly agreed, took Hongli's hand and hurried to Ciren Palace with Kangxi, and as soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw a group of imperial doctors standing there, all with solemn expressions, not knowing what they were talking about, Rong Yuan was also among them.

"The emperor has arrived!" With Li Dequan's shrill voice, the group of imperial doctors hurriedly came over, and without waiting for them to salute, Kangxi couldn't wait to ask, "How is the queen mother's phoenix body?" Why did you faint? But what kind of emergency did you have? ”

This sentence made all the imperial doctors look at each other, and they didn't dare to answer, and the last imperial doctor Qi, who was still the head of the imperial hospital, stood up and said stubbornly: "If you go back to the emperor, the queen mother has never been sick, but fainted because the queen mother's own qi and blood began to decay and insufficiency, so that the phoenix body began to gradually appear disobedient. ”

[Author's digression]: Yinzhen ascended the throne, and this should be written.
