For Yinzhen, he would rather Kangxi die, at present, the fourth brother Yinzhen is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, the whip is out of reach, he and the old fourteen join forces to deal with the prince and the third, it is much easier, although the life and death of the old fourteen are unknown, but the lower reaches of the Haihe River do not hear the search and salvage of naval warships, think it should be fine, the old fourteen have been in the navy for a long time, should have learned to swim, Kangxi is difficult to say, neither know the water, but also washed out of the river so far, it is really difficult to escape.

But if Kangxi is really alive, it will be a big headache, how should he deal with himself? Kangxi's desire for power is very heavy, and he will never tolerate someone endangering his imperial power, and since the crown prince and the third child have taken this step, they are already in a situation where the net is broken, but they have fewer worries. But he has not yet reached the point of irretrievability, and the issue of Kangxi's life and death is really carefully considered.

Thinking of this, Yinxi couldn't help but look at Ma Qi, and before he could speak, Lao Shi Yinqi said with a big grin: "Is it necessary to consider such a complicated one? I think it's time to weigh up, what can we do now? ”

Hearing this, a room of people looked at Yin Qi strangely, and they all said that the tenth master was a straw bag, but what he said was to the point, has the tenth master been playing with wisdom and foolishness?

Seeing that everyone looked at him with strange expressions, Yin Qi said a little embarrassed: "I'll just say it in vain, everyone is free." ”

Ma Qi smiled and said: "The tenth master's words can be described as seeing the clouds, the tenth master might as well tell me what you think in your heart." ”

"I'm thinking simply." Yin Qi smiled and said: "We only have these 5,000 soldiers and horses in our hands, whether we are completely obedient or not, it is still difficult to say, in Tianjin, what else can we do except wait?" Why not jump out of Tianjin. ”

The eyes of the room lit up. Since the crown prince has held hostage the ministers and clan nobles, he naturally wants to ascend the throne, and he can't ascend the throne in Tianjin, right? He must be going back to the capital!

Since the crown prince launched a mutiny, he held hostage the ministers and clan relatives. There is no way out, and he himself has no way out, no matter whether Kangxi is alive or dead, he will make a desperate bet and use the hostages in his hands to return to Beijing to ascend the throne, if Kangxi is alive. He doesn't care about having a reputation for usurping the throne, if Kangxi dies, he will be justified.

For the eighth elder brother Yinxi, rushing back to the capital to arrange it first can be described as a clever move, one can prevent the prince from returning to Beijing smoothly, and the other is a good move. When he returned to the capital, there were many things he could do, and the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother stayed in Beijing, but in fact, they were in charge of the country. Even if Kangxi survives, this move will be a great achievement for Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi.

"Hehe, the tenth brother can be said to wake up the dreamer with a word." Yin Yu smiled heartily: "We are all confined to Tianjin, and we are always entangled in the life and death of the emperor. But it was a dead end. After speaking, he looked at Bao Tai and said with a smile: "This matter should be sooner rather than later." When will the army be able to set out on its way? ”

Bao Tai said very relaxedly: "The army is already ready to go, and it is ready to do it at any time. ”

Sancha River Estuary, Naval Division Camp.

On the martial arts field, Bei Zi Sunu, the first-class Gong Jingxi, the general Feng Xiaochun and his children, guards, and more than 30 people were neatly escorted to kneel in front of the general's platform, but the executioners were all military generals in military uniforms.

Point on the stage. Prince Yinren glanced at the silent civil and military ministers, clan relatives and nobles, and said coldly: "The gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, today I finally gave a bad breath to Tuo Heqi, Qi Shiwu and others!" Chop! As he spoke, he pushed his hand down and pressed everything.

With an order. A group of generals slashed with their swords, and when they landed, they saw the swords shining. The head rolled to the ground, blood splattered all over the ground, and when the air was neutral, there was a strong smell of blood, and a number of civil and military ministers, clan relatives and nobles immediately collapsed, and many people turned around and vomited. ..., the prince is vicious and violent, arbitrarily humiliated, and has arbitrarily beaten the clan, and there are not a few ministers and officials who have been poisoned by it, and the officials of the Beijing division and the relatives of the clan have heard of this, which is also the fundamental reason why the prince is unpopular. In the past, all the people who openly and secretly opposed the prince were terrified, for fear that this master would kill him.

The third elder brother Yinzhi was also in the crowd, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and the prince used this as an excuse to kill a group of ministers and relatives who knew the inside story, which was regarded as picking him out of this mutiny.

The Minister of the Guard, Erji, stood behind the prince, but secretly praised the prince's good means, this hand, not only vented the anger in his heart, took out the third elder brother, but also shocked a number of civil and military ministers, clan relatives and nobles, and what is even more rare is to firmly tie together the generals who should act as executioners, even if Kangxi survives, these generals have no way to retreat, only to follow the prince to the end.

Glancing at the headless corpse lying in a pool of blood, Yinren raised his eyebrows happily, and said in a deep voice: "You are all the pillars of the country, the pillars of the imperial court, and the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. ”

After speaking, he ignored the civil and military ministers, clan relatives and nobles who spontaneously fluttered or vomited, and turned around and instructed Erji: "Call a group of generals to gather in the council hall." ”

Since receiving the news in the early morning and learning that the eighth is a hindrance, the generals of each battalion and each wing are guarding the camp gate and waiting for the battle, Yinren began to plan the back road, he is sure that Kangxi is still alive, but he is not sure whether the old fourteen will hold Kangxi hostage? However, with such a big event, how dare he pin his hopes on Lao Fourteen?

For him, the worst outcome is that Kangxi returns to Tianjin unharmed, since he can no longer recruit soldiers and horses in Tianjin, there is no need to take the risk of staying in Tianjin, and returning to Beijing as soon as possible is the right way.

A group of generals who have just finished killing people have a strong smell of blood, after coming in to see the salute, they are all very solemn and solemn, killing so many relatives and nobles with their own hands, they can only hug the prince's thigh now, Yinren glanced at Erji, and said: "Everyone, Tianjin is currently in chaos, tens of thousands of troops are gathered in one place, and it will be very difficult to supply grain and grass every day, I decided to return to Beijing immediately."

Feng Changgui, you led 3,000 people to guard the military camp as the vanguard, by land, to clear possible obstacles, to raise and prepare food and grass for the army, I took a group of civil and military ministers, clan relatives and nobles to take the waterway by boat, Yuerji, you led 3,000 people to break off, the shipwrecks in sections blocked the canal, along the way, crossed the river and demolished the bridge, dug or collapsed in dangerous places, and tried to destroy the roads into Beijing, waterways, and land routes, all of which must be destroyed.

Now that the situation is changing rapidly, there must be no delay, everyone return to the camp, immediately reorganize the army, set off lightly, and there must be no mistakes! ”

The generals immediately responded with a bang, bowed, and went back to the camp to prepare.

When the crowd dispersed, Qiu Erji said worriedly: "Prince, the destruction of all the water and land passages into Beijing can delay the other party's actions, but it will inevitably cause panic in Beijing, which is not conducive to stabilizing people's hearts and enthronement for the crown prince." ”

"Don't worry, someone will follow behind to dredge and trim up." Yinren said unappreciatively: "At present, what we need is time, delay them for three or five days, and the overall situation of the capital can be decided. ”

Prince Yu's 5,000 soldiers and horses, Prince Yinren's 12,000 soldiers and horses successively pulled out the camp and returned to Beijing, which immediately made a group of wait-and-see generals dumbfounded, and scolded one by one, Kangxi did not have exact news now, the prince and the eighth elder brother began to transfer the battlefield to the capital, and immediately put them in a dilemma. ..., followed back to Beijing, wouldn't Kangxi be left alone? If Kangxi is not dead, and the capital is occupied by the prince, what will be the consequences? Besides, what about going back to Beijing? Dare to stop the prince from entering Beijing? It's nothing more than a secret containment.

The generals hesitated again and again, but failed to come up with the best of both worlds, so they had to adopt a compromise method, leaving a small part of the troops in Tianjin to continue to investigate the news of Kangxi, and most of them followed him back to Tianjin.

When the army moved, Prince Yinren received a report that Prince Yu's 5,000 cavalry battalion cavalry had abandoned the camp and returned to Beijing. Yinren couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly, this old eight, but not to be underestimated, it seems that after returning to Beijing, there will be a vicious fight. After a little hesitation, he said: "Order, the plan remains the same, pass on the striker Feng Changgui, don't contact them, just send someone to keep an eye on them." ”

Tianjin earthquake, the capital also has a strong earthquake, Kangxi is not in the capital, the remaining members of the Beijing can't help but feel a little uneasy, immediately ordered Qintian to monitor where the earthquake is, to hear that the report is southeast, it is very likely to be Tianjin, everyone is shocked, Kangxi is in Tianjin, Tianjin earthquake, this mess is big.

However, there is no definite news, and the officers do not dare to act rashly, but fortunately, Tianjin and Beijing have fast horses to deliver news back and forth every day, and the specific situation will be known tomorrow, and all the officials have no intention of doing errands, and they all send people to guard the city gate overnight, so as to be the first to find out the exact news, and a tense atmosphere spreads in the capital.

The adult prince who stayed in the capital was only the fifth elder brother Yinqi and the ninth elder brother Yinqi, and when they heard that it might be the Tianjin earthquake, both of them were very worried, but the objects of concern were different, one was concerned about Kangxi, and the other was concerned about the eighth elder brother.

The next morning, the exact news came from Tianjin, the Tianjin earthquake!

What is even more shocking than the Tianjin earthquake is that the Marines shelled Kangxi during the earthquake panic, and the Tianjin city wall collapsed, and the whereabouts of Kangxi and the fourteenth elder brother are still unknown! Three of the six ministers of the guards who accompanied him were killed and two were seriously wounded, and all three ministers were killed.

This news couldn't be concealed even if you wanted to, and in less than an hour, it spread throughout the capital
