A few days later, the fourth elder brother Hongli accompanied the scholar Hongli, together with other officials in Beijing, escorted by thousands of soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Beijing camp, in the name of sacrificing the ancestral tombs, set off from the capital to Shengjing.

The result of the battle in the southwest did not cause much turmoil in the capital, after all, for the people of the capital, there were enough defeats in the front, and the people who lost Jiangnan, Fujian, and even Liangguang have been accustomed to it, and even the eight banners are just panicked, and there is no other emotion.

The reason is very simple, you say he can't do it, you can do it!

In the past, the children of the Eight Banners who thought they could do it have all died on the battlefield, and as for the rest, they are all the ones who know that they can't do it, so that after Yongzheng was imprisoned in Pingjun Wang Narsu, he couldn't even find a general who could lead the new army of the Eight Banners, so he had to reinstate Narsu and let him make meritorious contributions......

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Nalsu knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, he had experienced such an experience in the prison, and the whole person was a little depressed.

"Your Majesty, the slave is guilty of death....... A slave is a capital offense! ”

"Hmph, you also know that you are a capital crime? If it is not reported by others, how long will you be greedy? ”

As soon as Yongzheng thought of this, he couldn't stop wanting to cut people, he could only focus on the fold, not looking at Narsu kneeling on the ground, but then looking at the words on the fold, he was even more upset, so he simply threw the pen on the table, making a loud rolling sound.

"Slaves don't dare to ......"

Narsu was taken aback, and could only press his forehead tightly to the ground, with a little guilt on his face.

Yongzheng sighed deeply, "I have spared you by removing your prince, and I have become like this in the Qing Dynasty, and I am also responsible for you people!" ”

Narsu kowtowed like pounded garlic, and his forehead became bruised, but he was also quite strange in his heart, who else was this 'you' referring to?

"I will not forgive you."

Yongzheng said coldly: "But it will not exempt you from the errand of the Eight Banners New Army, you have to train the Eight Banners New Army for me, if it is successful, it will naturally restore your title, if it fails, I tell you, this belated knife will also be cut on your neck!" ”

"The minions don't dare anymore!"

Nalsu was really scared this time, he was a courtier from the Kangxi year, and the Kangxi Emperor at that time was very conniving with the ministers of the clan, and he only turned a blind eye to the slightest corruption, so he was used to making money lavishly.

But the current Yongzheng is really different, he has aimed his knife at the clan and ministers since he was in the upper position, and whoever dares to make money will dare to chop off whose claws, especially at this juncture, Narsu knows that Yongzheng really wants to kill him, if it weren't for the Eight Banners New Army, I am afraid that he would have been given to death a long time ago.

"Let's go down."

"Whew, the minion is leaving."

When Narsu came out of the palace, he only felt dizzy, and the whole person was staggering, almost falling to the ground, and he didn't know when a cold sweat broke out on his back, and the awe of Yongzheng in his heart was even more unconsciously.

At this time, Emperor Yongzheng in the hall let out a cough, and the whole person's face turned a little pale, he took out the pill from his arms, and used two pills like this, and then said quietly: "And leave this person a dog life first." ”

It's just that the hall is empty, but there is no one else except Yongzheng, but I don't know who Yongzheng is talking about.

A hint of ruthlessness appeared on Yongzheng's face, and he said in a low voice: "How are those guys doing?" ”

"One is studying in the house every day and has not seen anyone else, and the other is guarding Jingshan and has not seen anyone else, but there is only one who has been seeing people everywhere recently, and this is a list of all the people he has seen, and every word they have said."

I don't know when, there was a seemingly ordinary guard standing in front of Yongzheng, who was holding a book in his hand and handed it over.

In fact, this guard is the deacon sticky pole guard in the palace, and he has laid a large net in the capital Zhili, so as to ensure that Yongzheng can know everything he should know.

"Hmph, let those two live first for the time being...... The rest of the one, you go and arrange, do it cleanly. ”

Yongzheng's face showed a hint of fierceness, since he dared to stand in the way, then don't blame him for being polite.

...........

After the fourth elder brother Hongli left the capital, it was natural for others to live as usual, but for the third elder brother Hongshi, there was a kind of joy of keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon.

Hongli went to Shengjing, no matter what it meant, but Hongshi knew in his heart that the only time he had come to get close to the throne had come.

In his opinion, Hongli went to Shengjing is almost equivalent to the Fourteenth Master went to the Northwest Army, even if you are the world's No. 1 Fuyuan general? It's not like he's lost the throne in front of the fourth man who is close to the water!

Now don't look at Hongli, it seems that he has become the emperor's candidate for the crown prince, but as long as something changes today, who else is the closest to the throne? It's not just him, the third elder brother!

As soon as he thought of this, Hiroshi felt a tremor in his heart, and he really couldn't wait...... The old immortal is not going to die, and he is also very embarrassed......

"Okay, good, master, have a good time today!"

In the Yanhong Building in the capital, the third elder brother Hongli had a little alcohol on his face, and was hooking up with his fox friends and dog friends, most of them were the children of those wealthy families in the capital, or some people with ulterior motives, but they were also drunk.

"The third elder brother is running now, and the slave should be the third elder brother!"

"The third elder brother Ji people have their own natural appearance, no matter how much people here want to harm the third elder brother, it is all delusional!"

"The slave is the third elder brother!"

There was a lot of noise and shouting, but the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, and everyone seemed to see the day when the third elder brother ascended the throne, wouldn't they be all developed by then?

With a little drunkenness on his face, Hongshi looked at a young man in the corner of the banquet, "Azil, why don't you drink?" Brother Ben wants to have a few more drinks with you! ”

The young man had a little apology on his face, bowed his head and said softly: "Third elder brother, when I came, the eldest brother specially instructed the slave that he must not lose his posture in front of the master, so it is better for this wine slave to drink less." ”

Hongshi's face suddenly became a little gloomy, he didn't like this kind of pretentious person the most, but he wouldn't lose his temper, because Azil was not simple, he was the younger brother of Aqitu, the current Admiral of the Nine Gates.

For Hongshi, he held this banquet today, with the intention of winning over Aqitu, but he is an idle prince, and it is not so easy to deal with the Admiral of Jiumen, and it will also attract the attention of some well-intentioned people, so Hongshi thought about starting with Aqitu's younger brother, that is, Azil.

"It's okay, wait until next time, Brother Ben will specially find you to drink together, so you don't have to worry about gaffes hahahaha......"

Hiroshi's face was a little distorted, and he drank with the other fox friends with the wine glass again, but he didn't pay attention to Azile in the corner.

But Azil lowered his head slightly at this time, his hands trembled slightly, he didn't come to the banquet this time because he wanted to come, but under the instruction of his eldest brother Aqitu, the purpose was nothing else, just to confirm whether the third elder brother himself was present, if he did, just make a hidden gesture during the banquet, and then he didn't have to do anything.

Azil felt scared in his heart, he knew that this was a conspiracy involving many people, even a conspiracy related to the royal family, but he didn't dare not do it, because without the help of his eldest brother Aqitu, why could he be so free in the capital?

It's just that after Azil finished making the gesture for a long time, he didn't see any movement, and his heart was a little relaxed at the moment, just as if it was an ordinary banquet.

But when the song ended, everyone was drunk, and there was a servant of Hongshi who wanted to help him up, but he didn't expect Hongshi's whole body to sink, and then he saw that the soul was in danger, and several people were directly paralyzed on the ground.

It turned out that I don't know when the third elder brother Hongshi was drunk and died on the spot, but he was not discovered by anyone!

Azil was even more frightened and paralyzed, although he didn't make any other superfluous movements, but even if he was on the same table, he didn't find out when Hiroshi died, let alone how Hiroshi died, all this happened too weird, and too natural.

Due to the suspicion of the mysterious death of the prince, Yan Honglou was soon taken over by the Admiral of the Nine Gates, along with the people from the Zongren Mansion and the sticky pole came to investigate the situation, this matter is not a trivial matter, no matter how Hongshi is snubbed, it is also the heir of the emperor of the dynasty!

Azile and the group of fox friends were strictly ordered to stay where they were, and they couldn't even move their chairs, and all the people who came in and out of Yanhong Building were also controlled.

And the shopkeeper of Yanhonglou, the shopkeeper Xu, was paralyzed on the ground, no matter how this matter ended, he and the other little two guys were afraid that they would not be able to escape death, and even affect their families.

After a long time, Admiral Aqitu of the Nine Gates took people to Yanhonglou, he was in his forties, and the whole person looked very serious and cold, different from the flamboyant of his predecessor Long Keduo, and low-key seemed to be his true color.

"None of the people present today can get out of it, and if you can't find a reason, all of you will have to die."

His words almost scared everyone else into peeing their pants, and even Azil couldn't help but shudder, believing that if necessary, his eldest brother Aqitu would also throw him out, and would never save his life.

After all, in front of the family, his little Azile died and died, and no one would care at all.

........

The death of the prince in Yanhonglou did not implicate many people, and the official result was that Hongshi died drunk and had nothing to do with others.

This made the others breathe a sigh of relief, but also became secretive about this matter, and did not dare to mention that they would cause trouble for themselves, since now the court has said that he died drunk, that is, he died drunk.

It's just that Hongshi, who died drunk, didn't understand who killed him until he died, or he already understood in his heart, but he never had a chance to say it again.

However, Hongshi's death also made all those in the know mention a heart, that is, the current emperor is becoming more and more incomprehensible and terrifying.

Not to mention how other people are, even if it is his own biological son, he will be ruthless when he should be ruthless, and ruthlessness has become synonymous with Yongzheng.

In October, Yongzheng was in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and personally gave Chen Dehua and other 399 people to enter the Shi and the first person with a poor background, this time the number of people can be called the largest in the past, in order to accommodate the little remaining Shilin heart.

Especially at the critical time of competing with Ning Chu, the good thing given by Yongzheng is also the title of Jinshi of the Eight Classics, so the meaning of this is not so difficult to understand, but Yongzheng's flattery was thrown to the blind man and did not play any role.

The reason is very simple, the Qing court, which only owns a few northern provinces, can no longer vacate so many seats to fill the pits for these Jinshi, although everyone got the Jinshi Jin Huanghuang's signboard, but it has no practical effect.

On the contrary, it is the end of the Han Army, although everyone can only take the test to show talent, but all of them in the examination participate in the awarding of officials, and they are all really lacking, although the official position is a little smaller, but it is also an official, and it is also a person who can eat official money.

Besides, according to Ning Chu's meaning, next year's imperial examination will be decentralized to the provinces, and the provinces will organize examinations and recruit them, and the number of places will not be hundreds, but thousands, and everyone will have official positions.

For Shilin, everyone is for being an official, so the temptation released by Ning Chu is naturally not comparable to Yongzheng's hundreds of nominal Jinshi titles, after all, it will be impossible to pass two years after the Qing Dynasty is gone, what is the use of the Jinshi in the Qing Dynasty?

There are no fools in the world, and Yongzheng's actions did not play their due role, the big guy was coldly watching Yongzheng's methods, but he was preparing a shovel, just waiting for the day when Daqing burped, so as to add a few handfuls of soil to the grave.

Seeing that the gift of Jinshi did not play its due role, Yongzheng was helpless, but he started Zhu Ming's idea, he named Zhu Zhilian of the Ming Dynasty as a first-class marquis, and the world was enshrined in Ming, and he also built a loyal temple in Beijing to worship those loyal ministers and righteous men at the end of the Ming Dynasty, such as Sun Chengzong and Lu Xiangsheng, and backhanded those big traitors who originally defected to the Qing court into another book.

I have to say that Yongzheng's operation has blinded many people's eyes, because strictly speaking, these things should be done after the reunification of Ning Chu, but now Yongzheng has done it himself in advance...... The taste of this is something that only the person concerned can understand.

And this move also made several major traitor families mourn, such as Fan Wencheng's Fan family, Zu Dashou's ancestral family, Li Yongfang's Li family and Hong Chengchou's Hong family, all became silent, although they were deeply ashamed, but they also had to stretch out their other half of their faces to Yongzheng to pull back.

It's just that in the hearts of these traitors, there is also a faint sense of complaining about the ancestors.
