Chapter 408: Succession

After entering Changchun Garden, there was immediately a guard from Kangxi who led Yinzhen to Chunhui Hall, today's Changchun Garden has three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post, which is many times stricter than usual, especially the Chunhui Hall where Kangxi lives, and its vigilance is afraid that even a fly will not want to fly over. k";

Along the way, Yin Zhen didn't remember how many guards he had passed before he arrived at the main hall of Chunhui Hall, and the one guarding inside was Zhang Tingyu, who was then a scholar of the Baohe Palace and a scholar of the Ministry of Officials. He bowed to Yinzhen and said in a deep voice: "The emperor is inside, the fourth master hurry up." ”

Yin Zhen agreed, turned around and entered the inner hall, there was a charcoal fire burning inside, but it was not very warm, because half of the window was open, and from the outside of the window, you could see the night sky with heavy snow, and the snow was a little bigger than when he came.

Kangxi lay quietly on the bed, looking at the snowy night outside the window with cloudy eyes, and it was difficult to see the traces of ups and downs under the brocade quilt, Li Dequan was standing next to him, and Hongli, standing aside with red eyes.

Although there are many worries about the future in his heart, but seeing this moment of Kangxi, Yinzhen still can't help but feel sad, for more than 40 years, Huang Ama's eyes have always been wise and clear, and he can see everything clearly in the light clouds and clear wind, and there is no trace of turbidity, and now he ......

No matter how heroic a person is, he can't compete with the sharp blade of time, the more Yinzhen thinks about it, the more sad he becomes, and he can't help but throw himself in front of the bed with a sad cry, and said with tears: "Huang Ama, the son is here, are you okay with your dragon body?" ”

Kangxi slowly turned his head, a faint smile appeared on his face, and immediately glanced at Li Dequan, who understood and said to Hongli: "Brother Li, the emperor has something to say to the fourth elder brother, let's go out first." ”

Hongli is also a sensible person, nodded with red eyes at the moment, and walked outside with Li Dequan.|i^

When only their father and son were left in the room, Kangxi sighed lightly and said weakly: "Fourth, do you know why I summoned you overnight?" ”

"I don't know." Yin Zhen knelt in front of the bed, crying.

Kangxi reprimanded lightly and said: "I forgot how I taught you, men bleed without tears, what is there to cry about, not to mention that I am not dead yet!" Without waiting for Yinzhen to answer, he added: "I have been in power for more than 60 years, and there are more than 20 princes under my knees. The boss is vulgar, the third is not capable, the eighth is capable, but his mother's background is too low, and the eighth has learned me everywhere over the years, but he is too late everywhere, I am tolerant, he is more tolerant than me, I govern the country with tolerance, but he is tolerant to win people's hearts, the first time Yinren was abolished, the Manchu Dynasty had ten ** stood on his side. When he said this, he sighed heavily, "It's just that this kind of tolerance will only make the rulers more and more **, and eventually go to the point of no return, so he is not the person I want." ”

Yin Zhen listened quietly, not daring to answer, Kangxi rested for a while and said: "Lao Jiu Lao Shi will not talk about it, as for Lao Thirteen, he is a true temperament, whatever he wants, he never hides it, such a person is also not suitable for being a king, there is still one Lao Fourteen and Lao Seventeen, Lao Fourteen is guilty of the same fault as Lao Jiu, as for Lao Seventeen, he is still too young, and many things lack experience." As for you...... There are abilities and means, and I have watched you for many years, and everything you do is based on the court first, which is very good. But you also have shortcomings, moody, not tolerant enough, sometimes easy to be swayed by emotions, the court said that you are a cold-faced prince, it is not wronged. ”

Yin Zhen hurriedly said: "Erchen knows that he still has a lot of shortcomings, and in the future, Erchen will definitely get rid of this shortcoming, please rest assured." ”

"That's good." Kangxi nodded with satisfaction, and laboriously took out a word from the side, there was only a big forbearance word on it, and after Yinzhen took it, he said: "Hang it in the south study, take a look at it every day, and don't forget what I said today." ”

"Huang Ama......" Yin Zhen looked at Kangxi in a daze, hanging in the south study and looking at each other day and day, what does this mean He knows too well, Huang Ama really wants to pass on the throne to him?

"I was too tolerant in my later years, which made the court corrupt over the years, which is my fault, but I am old and unable to correct it, so I can only choose an iron-fisted emperor for the Qing Dynasty and bring the officials back to the right path. Yinzhen, you must not live up to my expectations! ”

Yin Zhen was excited and sad, kowtowed hard, and sobbed: "Huang Ama rest assured, even if his son fights for this life, he will not let Huang Ama down." ”

"That's good." Kangxi seemed to let go of a big matter, his eyebrows loosened a little, and he looked at the snowflakes that kept drifting into the house and said: "I thought that I couldn't see the snow scene this year, but I didn't expect God to have mercy on me, so that I can take a look at the beautiful scenery of winter snow before the deadline comes, and I have no regrets in this life." ”

Kangxi likes snow, because every time it snows, it reminds him of many things, especially the woman who has raised him for several years, and when she dies, it is also when the snow is falling.

"Huang Ama won't die, no." Yin Zhen couldn't help the grief in his heart and cried incessantly.

"Idiot, everyone in the world dies, and the emperor is no exception, not to mention that if I don't die, how can I vacate this throne for you." Kangxi chuckled, not too much sadness.

"As long as Emperor Amalong is healthy and lives a long life, Erchen would rather not have this throne." Yin Zhen burst into tears, at this moment, he was really sad.

Kangxi shook his head and said: "I have already left an edict, just behind the plaque of the Qianqing Palace, this Zhang Tingyu and Long Keduo both know that once I die, they will go and take out the edict." As for Long Keduo, you can also trust him, although Tong Guowei is close to Lao Ba, but Long Keduo has never been too involved with Lao Ba, and he will assist you to be a British master. ”

"Erchen wrote it down." Yin Zhen was moved in his heart, he knew that Kangxi must have made a lot of preparations in secret for this day, all just to ensure that he could succeed to the throne by the way.

"One more thing." Kangxi eased his breath, and suddenly grabbed Yinzhen's shoulders hard, his dry fingers as if they were going to grasp into the flesh through his clothes, "No matter what your brothers have done, they will always be your siblings, promise me, you must not hurt their lives after you ascend the throne, unless you want me to die without turning a blind eye." ”

Yin Zhen endured the pain in his shoulders and said solemnly: "Erchen promised Huang Ama that he would treat all his brothers well and never hurt his brothers' lives." ”

"That's good." Kangxi knew that this son, since he agreed, he would never regret it; On the contrary, if it is the eighth or fourteenth, they will certainly agree, but once they ascend to the throne, it is unknown whether they will keep their promises, which is one of the reasons why he decided to pass on the throne to Yinzhen.

"Also, Hongli is a very smart child, take good care of him, don't treat him badly." Kangxi said another sentence uneasily, after saying it for so long, Kangxi was very tired, and the light in his eyes became more and more dim, like a residual candle in the wind, which would be extinguished at any time......
