"Poison?" When Cao Hao heard this, he was shocked.

The second elder brother has been circled for several years, and there are still people who will move this thought, Cao Hao was unexpectedly tight.

"Father, who is under it? The emperor's side, why didn't he see the investigation? Cao Hao frowned. Tiger poison does not eat children, Kangxi himself did not dispose of the second elder brother, and he will not allow others to move the second elder brother, which is related to the supreme majesty of the emperor.

"The Queen Mother is newly mourned, the dragon body is not safe, and people's hearts are moving, how can they be investigated? The eunuchs and maids of Xian'an Palace have all been changed. Cao Yin said.

Cao Hao didn't speak, these people were neither handed over to the Criminal Department of the Internal Affairs Department nor to the Criminal Department, as if they had been issued more.

In the eyes of the emperor, what is the difference between human life and ants?

*Outside the Tangquan Palace, as far as the eye can see, it is all car driving.

Several university scholars, Song Zhu is sixty-two years old, Ma Qi is sixty-six, and the rest of Li Guangdi, Xiao Yongzao, and Wang Luo are all in their ancient years, and when they walk, they naturally tremble.

These officials of the Six Ministries and Nine Secretaries are walking behind the ministers.

When they came, they had their own stomachs, and after this face, everyone felt like a farce that ended quickly.

Regarding the matter of the university scholars meeting with Jiuqing and others to ask for the crown prince, Kangxi's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. He neither allowed it to be played nor dismissed, but in the name of "there are no two kings in the sky, and there are no two kings in the people", he ordered the ministers to check the canons of the past dynasties and reformulate the etiquette of the crown prince.

This reason is also justified, after all, the ministers want to establish a prince, not to support the prince to take the throne and replace him.

Ma Qi walked last, bowed his head and sighed in his heart.

He didn't want to come, but later he heard that several ministers had come forward, so it was not too conspicuous, so he could only follow. However, he had already written down the details in advance and asked someone to send them to the imperial front.

Kangxi was able to take measures in a moment, and he also had the credit of Ma Qi.

Ma Qi looked at Li Guangdi's back and didn't understand why this "tumbler" waded into this troubled water. This time, "please set up a prince", otherwise someone would not have attracted a response from everyone in the name of Li Guangdi.

Is it old and confused? Or do you live more and more unproductively, start to be greedy for wealth and wealth, and want to arrange a future for your children and grandchildren in advance?

Li Guangdi straightened his waist, took square steps, and looked at the sky not far away. On the trees on the side of the road, a bird was startled, flew into the distance, and disappeared into the sky...... * Tangquan, the palace.

Kangxi sat on the kang, his face was abnormally flushed, I don't know if it was angry, or if the wind was blowing at the gate of the palace just now. After the ministers and Jingtang left the palace, he personally went to the palace gate to ask Zhu Duna.

Although this matter touched his scales, but fortunately, the plant is not widespread, except for the father and son of the Zhu family and several sons-in-law of the Zhu family, it is the two Eight Banners.

If Prince Baylor is involved, Kangxi will have to deal with it, and he will have a lot of scruples.

On the ground, kneeling was Zhang Tingyu, a cabinet scholar, holding a recital in his hand and reciting it clearly.

After he finished reading, Kangxi nodded and said, "Got it." ”

Zhang Tingyu hesitated for a moment, picked up the cinnabar imperial pen placed in front of him, wrote these words with a wave of the pen after the fold, and then picked up an excerpt to read.

Kangxi's eyes seemed to be closed, but after listening to the second excerpt, there was no response.

After waiting for a cup of tea, before hearing Kangxi's words, Zhang Tingyu quietly raised his head.

Looking at the motionless emperor, Zhang Tingyu only felt extremely weird, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

In the house, except for Kangxi and Zhang Tingyu, only Wei Zhu was left to stand.

Seeing Zhang Tingyu raise his head, Wei Zhu put his index finger to his lips and made a silent motion.

After a while, a thin snoring sounded in the room, and Zhang Tingyu breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw that the king's face was gloomy and lifeless, he was also afraid.

Today, when the ministers are folded, it is mentioned that when the emperor is recuperating, the prince can assist in government affairs. Nowadays, the emperor does not leave any of the scholars, but only one of his bachelors in front of the emperor, which also attracts the attention of many people.

Zhang Tingyu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, are they still afraid that they will not succeed in setting up the emperor? What did they think of the emperor? Even after the age of the sixtieth year and the body has been sick for a long time, the emperor is still the emperor.

Wei Zhu saw that Kangxi was sleeping deeply, so he tiptoed to pick up a fur coat from the side and gently draped it on Kangxi.

Kangxi didn't call up, nor did he call "kneel An", Zhang Tingyu could only continue to kneel. Wei Zhu glanced at him, saw that he was kneeling hard, took a small pestle from the side of the kang, and gently sent it to Zhang Tingyu's left hand. Although I can't get up, before the emperor wakes up, it's good to have support when I'm tired.

Zhang Tingyu arched his hand, revealing a little gratitude......* After hearing his father talk about the secrets in the palace, Cao Hao sighed in his heart. Even if he knew that someone was murdering the second elder brother, he would not think of the behavior of the Zhu family's father and son as "loyalty".

Is it that his heart is too dark, and he is used to maliciously speculating on people's hearts, but he is not as good as the ancients hundreds of years ago, who retain a pure heart?

Even if the father and son of the Zhu family are willing to "die", there are few people behind this who have to contribute to the trouble.

In this way, I don't know if I can make the identity of the second elder brother clear as the wishes of the Zhu family's father and son. If you are completely out of the storage position, don't you have to be a live target to attract others to calculate?

In this world, what is easy is death, and what is difficult is death.

Just when everyone thought that the behavior of the Zhu family's father and son would cause the anger of the Son of Heaven and harm the relatives, Man Jiuqing's side had already complied with Kangxi's will and condemned the Zhu family and related people.

According to the Manjiuqing meeting, Zhu Duna, the former squire of the military department, took the liberty of playing and should be executed by Ling Chi, his son Zhu Tianbao was beheaded, and the second youngest son was hanged, and his family property was not registered. Other persons involved in the case, etc., are either hanged or streamed or detained.

Zhu Duna's two young sons, the youngest is only seven years old, Cao Hao really admires Man Jiuqing, in order to cater to the emperor's thoughts, he used this outrageous charge, and even the yellow-mouthed child did not let go. In their eyes, if they can use one surname to calm the anger of the emperor and let the matter of establishing the prince go smoothly, it should be worth it.

However, Cao Hao also felt lucky, fortunately, his father had thought about it in recent years, and he didn't have these "loyalty" thoughts, otherwise as a son, he would either die with him, or he could only flee to the end of the world incognito to protect himself.

The ambiguity of this "crime" is also to take care of Kangxi's face, but Kangxi does not appreciate it. returned the excerpt, and ordered Jiuqing to list the matter of him going to the palace gate to ask questions at the palace gate, so that the Zhu father and son "deserve it".

Cao Hao watched this farce coldly, and at the same time paid attention to the news from the military department.

As expected, the fourteenth elder brother took advantage of the "cotton clothes" incident to dispose of several officers of the Ministry of War, and the few newly added ones can be regarded as the descendants of the fourteenth elder brother cultivated in the Ministry of War.

This action, I don't know if I hid it from Kangxi, or if Kangxi was a headache for the prince of the cabinet ministers, I don't care about this, in short, the fourteenth elder brother went very smoothly.

It seems that some people saw the limelight and knew that there was no hope for the second elder brother to recover, and began to stare at the other princes.

According to the rules, the prince is twenty years old, and the fourteenth elder brother is thirty years old and is still in the palace. As the prince elder brother born by the fourth concubine, his weight naturally cannot be compared with the princes born by the fifteenth elder brother, sixteenth elder brother, and seventeenth elder brother.

Some people have begun to speculate that the reason why Kangxi has not allowed these little brothers to open the mansion may be because the East Palace is also empty.

There are also people, because of the favor of the princess and the sixteenth elder brother over the years, wondering if they will "establish love" today.

Because in the national funeral, the sixteenth elder brother and five sons did not have any Zhang Luo, but the number of people who gave gifts was several times that of previous years.

The sixteenth elder brother was "flattered" and was uneasy.

"Fu Ruo, quickly help the master think of ideas, otherwise he will go like this, no matter if that brother is in the position in the future, there will be no good fruit for Eniang and me to eat." The sixteenth elder brother can make friends, there is no one else, and he can only find Cao Hao's side.

"What did the fifteenth master say?" Cao Hao thought of the fifteenth elder brother who hadn't shown up much recently, and asked.

The sixteenth elder brother showed a little helplessness and said, "What else, you can't hurt me two sentences." Speaking of this, he showed indignation and said: "Those official fans are crazy, no one thinks about being loyal to the king and loving the people, and everyone wants to climb up." The master is leisurely, but they are insatiable, and when I start my idea, I really want to end it with a knife, and my ears will be clean. ”

As a prince, because of his bloodline, who can not take on any involvement. The reason why the sixteenth elder brother has been leisurely all these years is because the prince elder brother in front of him is too good, and in the most chaotic years, he is still young, so he has not been involved.

Now, when it comes to the matter of the storage position, the sixteenth elder brother is already over the age of the weak crown, either fight for himself, or stand in line, and want to be quiet and watch, there is only one word, difficult.

"Do you want to defile yourself? How many outer chambers do you have? Seeing that Cao Hao stopped talking, the sixteenth elder brother spoke.

Cao Hao glanced at him and knew that he was talking nonsense.

This method can also be considered at other times, and now the sixteenth elder brother is a national mourner and filial piety, if he does something out of line, it is not "self-pollution to protect himself", but "self-destruction of the future".

The sixteenth elder brother leaned back in the chair and sighed: "It's a good peace, and it's been disturbed." The water is deep and windy, if you drown the master, remember to burn more paper for the master! ”

"The sixteenth master is so difficult because there is no target in front of him. The Sixteenth Master is still looking for something to survive these few months. Perhaps, there are people who can't wait to jump out and be a target. Cao Hao thought of the fourth elder brother, thought about it for a while, and said: "If the sixteenth master is not steadfast, let Fujin and Sifujin be closer and closer." The sixteenth master, on his side, also found a reason, and met with the fourth elder brother twice. The fourth master treats the thirteenth master with great friendship, and treats the sixteenth master here, he also has the demeanor of a brother, and he wants to come and be happy to protect the sixteenth master. ”

The sixteenth elder brother stared at Cao Hao, and the more he listened, the brighter his eyes became, only to feel that the sorrow had disappeared. He lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "Fu Ruo, you once said that you can be a prince of peace, right...... Is it because he is optimistic about the fourth brother? ”

Cao Hao didn't look at him, pursed his lips, and said with a smile: "Ming'er is the dragon raising his head, and it's good today." ”

The sixteenth elder brother was not convinced, leaned in front of Cao Hao, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't fight with your master, tell me honestly, did you hear something from your uncle?" ”

This topic is too sensitive, and it's not good to say more or less.

Cao Hao smiled at the sixteenth elder brother and said: "I am looking forward to the sixteenth master, and I also hope that I can enjoy the shade with my back against the big tree in the future." It is not easy for the fourth master to be in the household department, and the sixteenth master also helps to think about it, in addition to tobacco, if he can come up with other ways to make money, it can be regarded as sharing the worries of the fourth master. ”

Seeing Cao Hao divert the topic, the sixteenth elder brother knew that he would no longer talk about the matter of "storage position", and muttered: "Stupid or not? Thou knowest it, and thou hast not planned it for thyself. ”

Cao Hao touched his chin, just smiled, and didn't say much.

Since ancient times, when the emperor is replaced, "rabbit dead dog cooking" has become an iron law. Cao Hao's ambition is not that big, and he will not use his surname to make a bet.

The fate of Nian Qianyao and Long Keduo, who were relied on by the fourth elder brother, was that there was no reward for rewarding, and there was nothing to be rewarded, so the monarch and the minister were tired of each other, and they could no longer be compatible, and they would never die.

The sixteenth elder brother put down his thoughts, his expression showed a little laziness again, and he said a few words of gossip with Cao Hao.

I heard someone outside the door whispering: "Master, the slave has something important to do." ”

It was the voice of the sixteenth elder brother who was close to Zhao Feng, and the sixteenth elder brother smiled and said, "Come in." ”

"Master, someone from the palace will pass on the instructions of Concubine De Niangniang and Concubine Yi Niangniang, please return to the palace quickly." Zhao Feng first bowed down and saw Cao Hao, and then said to the sixteenth elder brother.

When the sixteenth elder brother heard this, he and Cao Hao glanced at each other, and both of them were a little heavy.

What's wrong in the palace?

Now that the harem palace affairs are taken care of by Concubine De and Concubine Yi, it will naturally not be a trivial matter that can attract the attention of the two concubines.

"Fu Ruo, go back first." As he spoke, he stood up, took out two pieces of paper from his sleeve, handed them to Cao Hao, and said, "This is a house that others respect, just by the edge of Haizi." In the future, when we talk, we can't always send your pen out to wait, and the restaurant is not a clean place. There are no people outside the palace, you pick two proper people, clean up this house, and there will be a place to eat and talk in the future. ”

Cao Hao thought about it and said, "If the sixteenth master wants to use this house, find a woman to put it on after the filial piety period." Where is there a secret in the capital, if it is because of a house that attracts the hearts of others, it is better to be wronged and wronged by the sixteenth master, and bear the name of 'greedy sex'. ”

"Well, that's it." The sixteenth elder brother nodded, took Zhao Feng, and hurried back to the palace.

* Jingyang Palace, with a hall at the back.

Concubine De and Concubine Yi sat side by side on the kang, their faces were ugly. Concubine De counted the rosary in her hand, as if trying to calm herself; Concubine Yi couldn't help it anymore, frowned and said to the attendant beside her: "Why hasn't the sixteenth elder brother arrived yet, hurry up and ask someone to urge!" ”

The chamberlain bowed and answered, and was about to go out when he heard footsteps outside.

I heard an attendant come in and say: "The two masters are the mother, the sixteenth elder brother is here, and he is waiting outside." ”

"Don't pass it soon!" Concubine Yi's voice was sharp, and she looked at the door.

One time later, the sixteenth elder brother followed the waiter in, outside the curtain, knelt down and said: "Erchen Yinlu has seen Concubine Yi and Concubine De, and I will say hello to the two concubines." ”

"Little Sixteen, come in!" Concubine Yi had already stood up and took two steps forward to call.

The sixteenth elder brother was shocked in his heart, why the two concubines were not in their own palace and ran here. Yes, I heard that there is a noble man here who is pregnant, and the delivery date is in February.

Isn't there anything wrong with this noble man's production? The sixteenth elder brother thought in his heart, and got up and entered the back room as instructed.

Concubine De also got up, and Concubine Yi beckoned to the sixteenth elder brother and said, "Sixteenth elder brother, come in with the palace and take a look." ”

The sixteenth elder brother followed her into the inner room a few steps behind Concubine Yi, and his footsteps were stunned all of a sudden.

There were eunuchs, palace maids, and a few old ladies tied up on the ground. There were still blood stains on the old women's bodies, and everyone's mouths were gagged, and their faces were full of pleading and fear......
