Chapter 261: Kangxi dies

After Kangxi finished these things, he no longer coughed and wheezing, and the whole person seemed to be a lot lighter. He squinted at Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu, who were kneeling on the ground, but said a meaningful word.

"The edict .... Put it in the hands of the two, I am relieved, but the fourteenth son of the emperor asked the edict to return to Beijing, and the two think.... What do you think? ”

When Kangxi's question was asked, but for a moment, Ma Qi felt a cold sweat on his back, and the whole person was trembling a little, he didn't think that Kangxi was going to die and be fooled, this emperor was more shrewd than anyone else in this kind of big thing.

In the front, Yinzhen was named the Minister of the Guard, and then he was made difficult about the problem of the old fourteenth, Ma Qi had already completely understood it in his heart, and today he and Zhang Tingyu were called to completely dispel the idea of the Eight Masters Party, so that the government could be smoothly transitioned.

Ma Qi thought of this, and immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "The slave thinks that General Fuyuan is now in Shaanxi and Gansu, and he should use this to coerce Chu Rei, so as to prevent Chu Reverse from entering Shaanxi and Gansu from the northwest and threatening the Central Plains." "Regardless of whether he is sincere or false now, he has basically followed Kangxi's meaning.

Sure enough, Kangxi was greatly satisfied when he heard this, and he closed his eyes, "Let's draft an edict...... Don't be wronged by the old fourteen......"

Ma Qi smiled bitterly in his heart, he already understood, this master is really a perfect person, and he has done all this good thing alone, but in the end, all the black pots are all courtiers, and even when he treats his son, they are exactly the same.

Zhang Tingyu naturally understood all this in his heart, and he really admired Kangxi's wrist, and now the Eight Masters Party is still powerful, but with the death of Arsonga, Puzhao, Chabina and others, the remaining Eight Masters are headed by Ma Qi and Xiao Yongzao.

Xiao Yongzao has an eccentric personality and is mean and unkind, so he has no hope in the court at all, so he will naturally not be taken seriously by Kangxi, and only the chief Manchurian University Shi Ma Qi, whether in terms of ability or popularity, has become a well-deserved leader of the Eight Masters Party, at this time, after this suppression, Ma Qi can only choose to obey.

It's just that when Ma Qi was leaving, he secretly glanced at Kangxi who was lying on the sickbed, his body, which was not strong, has become weaker now, but no one dares to offend his tiger power.

When the two of them left the palace gate, it was already a little late, but the two of them couldn't just leave, after all, the matter of the edict was too crucial, so they returned to the capital all the way under the guidance of Wei Zhu and the Ouchi guards.

After the two return to the capital, they need to seal the edict in the cabinet box, if the emperor unfortunately dies, the two will be jointly opened under the witness of the ministers, and correspond to another edict by the emperor's side, to be sure.

The carriage and horses were bumpy along the way, but Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi didn't realize it, because since they got into the carriage, they were thinking about their own things, and even when they arrived in the capital, Ma Qi woke up like a dream.

"Heng Chen, remember to keep today's events confidential..... but it shall not be known to anyone....."

Zhang Tingyu arched his hand and said: "The lower officials should be cautious and observe the minister's festival, and they will never reveal a word." His face was as flat as water, and he didn't seem to have put those thrills in his heart at all, and he became more and more calm.

Ma Qi squinted his eyes slightly, looking at Zhang Tingyu in front of him, but he didn't speak again.

After the two returned to the capital, they immediately summoned the princes and ministers, read out the emperor's holy decree, and then sealed the edict in the cabinet box in front of Wei Zhu.

For the elder brother below, everyone's faces were completely different, especially when Zhang Tingyu announced the "Prince Yong's Minister of Guard", it seemed that a bomb had been dropped below, although everyone did not whisper, but there seemed to be something hidden in their eyes.

Prince Yong Yinzhen didn't have any expression on his face, he didn't even have the slightest excitement, he was very indifferent to thank him, and his eyelids did not fluctuate in the slightest.

On the other hand, some of the characters of the Eighth Master Party are like mourning at this time, the Eighth Elder Brother's face is blank, and there is a slight despair in his eyes, while the Ninth Elder Brother and the Tenth Elder Brother have made no secret of their inner disappointment at this time, and they look at everything with resentment, including Prince Yong Yinzhen.

With the announcement of the holy decree, the entire Great Qing Kingdom seemed to have become much quieter on the surface, but the dark tide under the water was surging, but an extremely terrifying tide was brewing, and almost no one could perceive the terror hidden in it except for the people in the bureau.

"How eccentric the emperor is!"

After returning to the Eighth Elder Brother's Mansion, the Ninth Elder Brother Yinyu finally couldn't bear it anymore, he slammed a jade ring in his hand to the ground, and the fragments splashed everywhere, and the fine jade pieces refracted the distorted face of the Ninth Elder Brother.

The tenth elder brother Yin's face was gloomy, and he looked at the eighth elder brother who was sitting on the side with his head down: "Huang Ama's situation is getting worse and worse now, if the fourth brother is allowed to master the guards, we will never have a chance again!" ”

Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi's face was extremely pale, and the confidence he had finally mustered up had disappeared at this time, and he said desolately: "Why is the Emperor Ama like this...... I'll forget it, but the old fourteen is still in Shaanxi, and he won't let him come back, it's really chilling.....! ”

The ninth elder brother Yinyu and the tenth elder brother Yinyu glanced at each other, and there was a tacit understanding in their hearts at the moment, the current battle for the heir, seeing that it has reached the most intense time, if you don't make up your mind, it will be difficult!

The two of them knelt in front of the eighth elder brother at the same time, ignoring the surprised look on the eighth elder brother's face, and said in a condensed voice: "Eighth brother, we can't fight at the moment, we can't be at the mercy of others like this anymore......"

Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi smiled bitterly: "Even so, what can we do now?" The fourth child has already received the Minister of the Guard, and the military camp will only listen to him when the time comes...... The dog slave of the Nine Gate Admiral Long Keduo, he is already the fourth person....."

Ninth Elder Brother Yinyu sneered, "Although the fourth brother is now the minister of the guard, he doesn't dare to leave the Jingshi to go to Jinghai now, which means that the current guard camp is still in the hands of Xunzhu, so I will secretly go out of the city to find him, and then we will strike first!" ”

Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi shuddered, all he had been thinking about was how to let Kangxi pass on the throne to him, but Kangxi's attitude towards him had made him completely desperate, and his heart became more and more cold.

Since you are unkind! Don't let me talk about father-son affection!

"That's not enough, as you can see the old fox of Mazie, he's not a fuel-efficient lamp...... It's not enough to just master the palace, we have to get that edict! ”

Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi bit his cheek and said word by word: "Tenth brother, once there is a major incident, you immediately go to the Fengtai camp to find Admiral Cheng Wenyun, take over the military power of the army, and block the inside and outside of the Beijing Division!" ”

"As long as the Jingshi and the palace are completely cut off, and then get the emperor's edict, great things will naturally be done!"

The night is getting deeper and deeper, but tonight's Jingshi is not destined to be peaceful.

In the palace of Prince Yong, Yinzhen and Wu Sidao were playing in the study, and the curling Buddha incense wafted throughout the room.

Yin Zhen's brows have been frowning tightly, he is holding the piece in his hand, but he can't go down for a long time, and finally sighs and puts the chess pieces in his hand aside.

"Mr. Wu is good at defining now, but this king can't make up his mind, today's emperor's will seems to be a great thing for me, but when I think about it, it is also roasting me on the brazier!"

Wu Sidao laughed slightly, "I said that the prince's heart of cultivating Buddhism over the years is not strong enough after all. Now that this chess is about to reach the official stage, the prince can't play anymore? ”

"With today's incident, the eighth will definitely not give up, and they will definitely step up their planning, but although this king is now also the minister of the guard, it is impossible to go to the palace now, which is actually a nominal empty head for this king!"

Wu Sidao laughed, "If the prince really cares, it's messy, whether it's empty or not!" ”

"Please give me advice!" Yin Zhen had a hint of doubt on his face.

"The prince also please wait, the current palace is not the key to the situation, if there is a change, the prince can send his cronies, with a warrant to lead a battalion of cronies and horses, take over the palace, no matter what tricks they make in the palace, after all, they can't stand the name of righteousness. At this time, it is better to go sooner rather than later, if you go early, I am afraid that the emperor will be suspicious. ”

This is very right, even if he is now the minister of the guard, it is not good to replace all the internal guards around the emperor as soon as possible, otherwise what would Kangxi think in his heart? Just in such a hurry?

Thinking of this, Yin Zhen couldn't help but nodded, he naturally understood this truth.

Wu Sidao continued: "The important thing is the edict, this edict must not fall into the hands of the eighth elder brother, otherwise it will become a big hidden danger in the future." ”

This kind of thing is not without a criminal record, for example, the crown prince Fusu was killed by a deliberately tampered edict. If it really comes to a critical time, Ma Qi or those eight masters of the party will jump over the wall in a hurry, and then they will really tamper with the edict, but it will be really troublesome.

"On this side, I went to find Zhang Hengchen, the matter of the edict has a lot to do with it, as long as he doesn't fall to the Eight Masters, we don't need to worry too much....."

When Wu Sidao said this, he finally sighed, "It's just that there is one more thing to pay attention to, these days, the prince must be sure that the Nine Gate Admiral Long Keduo, this person is cunning by nature, and he can't fully trust this person!" ”

A storm seemed to have shrouded the sky above Jingshi, and there was a faint flash of thunder in it, and in the palace of Jinghai County, Kangxi also kept coughing, his face was extremely red, and the whole person was withered.

"Damn Chu Rebellion, I'm going to kill you...... Ahem....... Someone's coming......."

A bunch of little eunuchs and palace maids were kneeling on the ground at this time, but no one answered.

Wei Zhu was anxious like an ant on a frying pot, and just outside the door, dozens of imperial doctors were entangled, and one of them was actually a foreigner.

"The emperor's viscera is weak, the yang qi is weak, the yang qi is trapped, and it cannot be lifted, and the pulse qi is weak and weak, so the pulse is heavy and weak,...... This time, it is obviously sick and depressed, and the qi and blood are trapped inside......"

"Nonsense, Imperial Physician Li, you also know that the emperor has been poisoned by dampness when he came to the south this time, so he should take dampness first, how can he make up for it?"

"The emperor is weak now, how can he use medicine at will, you people, are you trying to murder the emperor?"

The crowd quarreled endlessly, some said that they needed to take medicine slowly, and some said that they needed to use strong prescriptions for emergencies, and if they dragged on like this, the living would have to be dragged to death...... But no one has been able to come up with a solid idea.

But this time, Wei Zhu, who was in a hurry, turned blue, and now he was the only person in charge here, if the emperor had a good person, it would be impossible for him to die happily...... He looked at these apricot forest holy hands, and said loudly: "All the great powers, you have to come up with a way quickly, you can quarrel at any time, but now you must not delay!" ”

The foreigner Lu Yidao looked at this scene at this time, and wanted to interject but didn't know where to start, he couldn't understand what these colleagues said at all, but he understood one thing, if it continued like this, the emperor would really be helpless.....

"Listen to me...... His Majesty the Great Emperor, his body has not been well conditioned, as long as he has taken care of and rested...... It's all right....." Lu Yidao clumsily tried to say what he thought, but his voice was drowned out in the dispute of everyone.

Wei Zhu saw that the situation was getting more and more critical, and he couldn't bear it anymore, he pointed at the noses of the imperial doctors viciously, "Daqing eats and drinks for you every day, and asks you to take so much silver, but now it's time to use you, you wolf-hearted things, you don't have an idea until now, if the emperor has a case, you all have to lose your heads!" ”

When arguing outside, Kangxi also felt that his mind was repeatedly fighting, and the severe pain made him feel as if he was in a fantasy world, and he could no longer distinguish what was real and what was false.

The memories of the first half of his life continued to wash over his mind, from the succession to the throne at a young age to upholding national politics, from the suppression of the three feudatories to the recovery of Taiwan, a series of exploits seemed to have become a picture scroll, which appeared in his mind in turn.

Maybe everyone sees something different before they die, all the scenes in front of Kangxi seem to be so real, he even feels that he has become the only god in heaven and earth, even if he lives for another five hundred years, it seems to have become a beautiful thing that makes his wishes come true......

Until a shadow appeared, the face of the shadow became clearer and clearer, it was a teenager, a teenager with a long musket, he leveled the musket in his hand, walked towards Kangxi step by step, and then smiled and pulled the trigger on his hand.....

"Uhh......h

An extremely painful voice came out of the dormitory, this voice contained too much pain and unwillingness, and also contained the yearning for the world.

Everyone's faces turned pale in an instant, and they quickly thought of the most terrifying thing, Wei Zhu ran in like crazy, he even ran off his boots, just after he entered, but after a while, there was an earth-shattering cry from inside.

On March 29, the 61st year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi of the Great Qing Dynasty died in the palace of Jinghai County.......
