Chapter Forty-Seven: Nine Sons Seize the Throne
To everyone's surprise, Ling Feng came to the front of the steps and stood still, then knelt on his knees, and said, "Boy Ling Feng, meet the Wang family Chitose!" The boy didn't know that the king was here, he was offended, and he alarmed you, and I ask you to forgive me! After that, he gave a salute to Yinzhen on the steps.
Yin Zhen nodded with a smile, raised his thumb, and said, "Okay, so daring!" How did you recognize this king? ”
Ling Feng didn't dare to hide it, and replied: "Back to the words of the prince, the kid just heard you call the name of He Chun's housekeeper, so he learned." ”
Yin Zhen's eyes flashed with coldness, his face instantly turned from sunny to gloomy, and he asked in a deep voice: "Who are you and why are you so clear about the affairs of this king?" ”
Ling Feng said: "The boy's surname is Ling, and his name is Ling Feng. It's from Hangzhou. He didn't say that he was from T City, but he knew that Yinzhen was already suspicious of him, and he was afraid of saying T City, Yinzhen said that he didn't know about T City, and he was not easy to explain. That's why he said that he came from Hangzhou, in order to obscure the past.
Yinzhen really thought that his hometown was in Hangzhou, and he had other doubts, so he didn't dwell too much on this matter.
Yin Zhen had a gloomy face and continued to ask: "What is the purpose of your coming here, why did you appear in front of this king's palace?" ”
Ling Feng's mind was racing, and he made up his mind and said: "The kid was originally a good citizen, but when he was in Hangzhou, he was wrongfully imprisoned by Mangui, who was the prefect of Hangzhou at the time, and almost lost his life. The kid came to the capital this time to avenge the revenge of the day and take the head of the stolen official. It's a pity that when I assassinated him last night, I met with a master and failed to succeed. After I came out, I was penniless and had no money to invest in the store, so I walked to your mansion by mistake. This is what happened in the past, please check it out! With that, Ling Feng stared at Yinzhen for a moment. A thought flashed in his mind just now, the man in Tsing Yi last night was very likely to be the eighth son of Emperor Kangxi-Yinxi, so that the appearance of the Heavenly Absolute Monk was reasonable. He is gambling, gambling that Mangui is not Yinzhen's doorman, but Yinzhen's hostile Eighth Prince's doorman. There is also a basis for him to do this, if the man in Tsing Yi is really the eighth prince Yinxi, then he goes to the mansion of Mangui at night, which means that the relationship between the two must be extraordinary.
Obviously, Ling Feng made the right bet this time. Yin Zhen's complexion softened, and he muttered: "Full of precious, full of pretty." "I don't know what's going on in my head.
Yin Zhen pondered for a moment, raised his hand, and motioned for Ling Feng to stand up. Suddenly, he asked, "You said you met a master last night, do you know who it is?" ”
Ling Feng said: "Heavenly Absolute Monk! ”
Yin Zhen's face moved slightly, and he continued: "Why did he appear in the noble mansion? ”
Ling Feng said: "There is also a man in Tsing Yi with him, and the kid suspects that he is the Eighth Prince. ”
Yin Zhen nodded, by this time his suspicion of Ling Feng had disappeared for the most part. He has to guard against it, now is the critical moment of seizing the heir, and the princes who participated in the succession are painstakingly cultivating their own potential, and they are pervasively suppressing the hostile potential. How could such a young man of unknown origin and martial arts suddenly appear in front of his mansion, how could he not be suspicious?
Writing here, let's first briefly introduce the situation of "Nine Sons Seize the Inheritance".
The Nine Sons Succession, also known as the Nine Dragons Succession, refers to the historical event of the sons of Emperor Kangxi vying for the throne. At that time, Kangxi Cheng had twenty-four surviving sons, and nine of them participated in the struggle for the throne. The nine princes who are qualified to fight for the throne and participate in the succession are: the eldest son of the emperor Yinzhen, the crown prince Yinren, the third prince Yinzhi, the fourth prince Yinzhen, the eighth prince Yinzhen, the ninth prince Yinzhen, and the tenth prince Yin? , the thirteenth prince Yinxiang, the fourteenth prince Yinyu. These princes are divided into no factions and intrigue with each other. Among them, the "Great Chitose Party" headed by the emperor's eldest son, Yinyu, is the core member of the pearl; Headed by the crown prince Yinren is "**", and the core members are the Suo Etu family; Headed by the third prince Yinzhi is the "Three Masters Party", and the core figures are Chen Menglei and Li Fu; Headed by the fourth prince Yinzhen is the "Four Masters Party", and the core figures are the thirteenth prince Yinxiang, as well as Zhang Tingyu, Long Keduo, Nian Qianyao and others; Headed by the Eighth Prince is the "Eight Masters Party", and the core figures are the Ninth Emperor Yinyu and the Tenth Prince Yin? , the Fourteenth Prince Yinyu, Tong Guowei and others.
At this time, it was the fifty-fifth year of Kangxi, and the current situation was that the crown prince Yinren had lost his qualification to compete because he was deposed for the second time. The eldest son of the emperor, Yinyu, because the crown prince said bad things about the crown prince when he was deposed for the first time, was thought by Emperor Kangxi that he did not miss brotherhood and had lost power. The three princes and the first line are relatively weak, and they can also be ignored. In addition to these three parties, the most fierce competition now is the "Four Masters Party" and the "Eight Masters Party."
The book is back to business.
Yinzhen is very deep in the city and low-key. On the surface, he seems to be indisputable with the world, and maintains a good relationship with various princes. Secretly, he formulated a program and won over Long Keduo, Nian Qianyao and others in an attempt to take the throne. He deliberately chose some ordinary martial arts generals to take care of his home and nursing home, just to let the hostile forces relax their vigilance against him. In fact, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his martial arts come from Shaolin and are very strong. His real team is the "sticky pole" headed by the Manchurian master Ortai and the Shaolin Temple master Faming Arhat. On the surface, the "sticky pole" is a service organization that plays with him for fun, but in fact, it is a spy agency that goes around spying on intelligence and eradicating dissidents for him.
Compared with Yinzhen, the eighth prince Yinzhen is much more high-profile. Nowadays, there is a saying called "the eighth master's protégé is all over the world", which is the best portrayal of his party and selfishness. He recruited martial arts masters, trained the team, and went to the "Pure Zen Forest" to find the unfortunate Tianyue Heavenly Monk, the "Gun Sect" Feng Passerby, and the "Yin and Soft Hand" Xu Yunsheng, the three masters are among the best. In addition, he also deliberately wooed officials from the DPRK and the central government and various provinces, and installed his own candidates in key positions. Man Gui is a very good example, Man Gui and Tong Guowei are related, and when he was the prefect of Hangzhou, he became the "eighth master's protégé" by virtue of Tong Guowei's relationship. Now that he has become the commander of the Nine Gates, he is responsible for the defense of the capital, and he holds the military power, so he has naturally become the object of the Eighth Prince's affection.
Yin Zhen watched the Eighth Prince grow bigger day by day, and he was anxious, but he couldn't show any traces on the surface. I had to secretly step up my cultivation of my own power. At this time, Yin Zhen looked at Ling Feng and thought in his heart: This son is not very old, but looking at his figure and bearing, his martial arts should not be weak. The most rare thing is that he has a grudge against Mangui, and Mangui is the disciple of the eighth child. I'm employing someone now, so why not use this relationship to make this person use for me!
