The specific process of the prince's mutiny, a group of ministers have already reported secret folds and twists, Kangxi asked, just to find out when Long Keduo, the nine-door admiral, fell into the Fourteenth Party? If he had joined the Fourteenth Party before, the position of the Admiral of the Nine Gates should have been replaced, and if he was temporary, he would have been able to tolerate it for a while, after all, the situation was complicated at that time, and it was impossible for him to be impartial.

After listening to Long Keduo's reply, Kangxi asked: "I heard that you trapped the two left-behind princes and ministers in Wengcheng, why did you do it?" ”

Long Keduo was shocked when he heard this, Kangxi was suspicious of him? He hurriedly took off his tasseled hat and kowtowed lightly before he said: "The slave should die, at that time, the two princes had many guards and guards, and the eighth elder brother came to the city again, and the slave was worried that there would be changes, so he did not allow the entourage to escort the arrow tower, and the slave had no outside intentions." ”

"Yes." Kangxi asked quietly: "Why are you worried that you don't allow the eighth son of the emperor to lead troops into Beijing?" ”

Long Keduo secretly slandered in his heart, he can't say that he is worried about the rebellion of the old eight, right? How do you reply to that? After thinking about it for a while, he gritted his teeth and replied: "Back to the emperor, the emperor was unknown at that time, and the slave was the commander of the infantry army, and it was his duty to maintain the stability of the capital.

At the Chaoyangmen Arrow Tower meeting, the slaves repeatedly insisted on treating everyone equally, either refusing to enter the city or putting them all into the city. The attitude of the servile is clear to the ministers attending the meeting. ”

Kangxi listened with a slight bow, as the commander of the Nine Gates, Long Keduo's position is fine, a little stronger, it should be, but you still asked: "Later, how did you agree to let the prince enter the city?" ”

Listening to Kangxi's question, Li Guangdi leaned over and said: "Back to the emperor, it was the micro-ministers who insisted on letting the prince into Beijing to rescue the ministers and clansmen who were held hostage by the prince, and this proposal was also supported by Xiao Yongzao and Zhang Pengxi. ”

Xiao Bingzao and Zhang Pengxi hurriedly said in unison: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. ”

Kangxi was silent and speechless in his heart, the day the eighth arrived in the capital, the old fourteenth navy had already set off from Tianjin for two days, and the Chaoyangmen Arrow Tower meeting had already received the news of the navy, so it seems that Long Keduo was the fourteenth party who joined the party afterwards.

Thinking of this, he put this matter aside for the time being and asked, "After the prince entered Beijing, what did he do?" ”

According to Li Guangdi's character, he was reluctant to be verbose, but yesterday Yinzhen sent him a note, and he had to speak: "The ministers are in the Fengtai camp, and the prince closed the nine gates after entering the city, and his specific actions are not very clear, but the day after the prince entered the city, rumors spread in the capital that the fourteenth master held the emperor hostage in order to usurp the throne. Immediately afterwards, rumors spread that the emperor . . . The Fourteenth Master kept it a secret in an attempt to usurp the throne. ”

As soon as Baotai, Xiao Yongzao, Ma Qi, and Long Keduo heard it, they knew that Li Guangdi was giving the fourth elder brother eye medicine, and for the Eighth Party, the fourth elder brother also wanted to eradicate the target, and the three of them tacitly put on a posture that had nothing to do with themselves and hung high.

Kangxi was stunned when he heard it, no one mentioned the rumors in the secret folds and twists, the latter rumor was obviously released by the prince, who spread the first rumor? The eighth? He glanced at Bao Tai, Xiao Yongzao, and Ma Qi, but these three people all had calm expressions, and he couldn't help but wonder secretly.

After meditating, the eighth was only 5,000 soldiers and horses working with the old fourteen to fight the prince, there was no need to put this rumor, one was to destroy the cooperative relationship with the old fourteen, and the other was to smear his own face.

In addition to the eighth child, is there anyone else? Kangxi swept over several people one by one, and was very puzzled in his heart, could it be that another prince had joined this dispute? Otherwise, how could Li Guangdi cautiously bring up this matter, and everyone else was silent. ..., who else? The third, fifth, seventh, and twelfth were all in the capital at the time, and since the third child has withdrawn, it may not be big, is it because the three of them are unwilling to be lonely, or do they want to oppose the prince's accession to the throne? It's not right, if it were these three princes, how could Li Guangdi say more? It's hard to be old

Thinking of this, Kangxi felt that it was unlikely, and the fourth child left Beijing in early April to go to Guangdong to try to 'spread the ding into the mu, according to the itinerary, the prince should enter Fujian anyway when he mutinied, no matter how slow it should be in Zhejiang, three thousand miles away from the capital, how can he spread rumors?

Who are they alluding to? Kangxi glanced at everyone suspiciously, and asked in a deep voice: "How did you deal with the rumors in the capital?" ”

The ministers had already kneeled and their legs were numb, and finally heard Kangxi ask aloud, Long Keduo glanced at everyone, and saw that they had no intention of making a sound, so he couldn't help but curse secretly, and replied: "Back to the emperor, after the fourteenth master saw the rumors and information, he immediately ordered the servants to send a thousand cavalry to search for the location of pigeon breeding within fifty miles around the capital. ”

Dove? Flying Pigeon Biography! Kangxi's heart couldn't help sinking, did the old fourteen suspect that the fourth flying pigeon spread rumors? He couldn't help but ask, "What was the result of the search?" ”

"Only four scattered pigeon families were found." Long Keduo hurriedly replied, but he was thinking in his heart whether it was necessary to carry out the errand of monitoring the fourth elder brother that Yinzhen had explained? Kangxi is already suspicious, and these four masters are only afraid that they will be more auspicious.

When Kangxi heard this, he couldn't help but feel relieved, but he immediately brought it up again, the assassination of the old fourteen Yinzhen in Guangzhou came to mind again, this case, secretly investigated for two years, but there was no clue, which shows that the other party is deeply hidden, the old fourteen went to Guangzhou at that time is the waterway, all the princes are in the capital, can grasp the movements of the old fourteen in time, and mobilize two hundred dead soldiers to assassinate, I think there should be a convenient way to communicate, otherwise it will not be possible.

If the rumors were really spread by the fourth child in the form of flying pigeons, it would be too appalling, and this should be a much more rigorous information network? How big of an underground force is it? Thinking of this, he didn't dare to think about it, and the fourteenth did not hesitate to order a search for carrier pigeons, it seemed that he had long suspected the fourth.

The fourteenth and the fourth are the same mother, can the fourth do this kind of thing? Kangxi couldn't help but secretly wonder, if it was really the fourth child's doing, how would he react after learning about the situation at that time? Just spreading a rumor? Impossible, the rumors he spread can be described as killing two birds with one stone, which can not only prevent the crown prince from ascending the throne, but also divide the eighth and fourteenth to join forces, the intention is naturally to complicate the situation in order to achieve the purpose of delaying time.

Since it is a delay in time, the fourth child is very likely to rush back to Beijing, just investigate the whereabouts of the fourth child in those days, you can judge whether it was the fourth child, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!

Thinking of this, Kangxi didn't have the heart to ask anymore, changed the topic, and asked in a deep voice: "In the past two days, the matter of overseas division has been spreading in the capital, and the old fourteen has also mentioned it to me, what do you think?" After finishing speaking, he noticed that everyone had been kneeling for a long time, and ordered: "Li Dequan, give you a seat and serve tea." "Min
