Kangxi rode his horse all the way to the western suburbs of Beijing with his sleeves, and he didn't know how far he went, until he saw a tomb repaired by cyan granite in the distance, and Kangxi reined in the horse's reins.

Immediately hugged his sleeve down, Kangxi took his sleeve's hand and walked to the tombstone carved in white granite, but when Huaisleeve saw the words in the book, he was shocked.

She didn't expect that Kangxi would bring her to Yuan Chonghuan's clothed tomb.

Standing in front of the tombstone, Kangxi's deep eyes stared at the words on the tombstone, but he saw a few lines of powerful combing inscriptions engraved on the seal: "A lifetime of career is empty, and half a lifetime of fame is in a dream." After death, there is no worry about the brave generals, and the loyal soul still guards Liaodong. ”

Huai sleeve knew that this was the inscription poem written by Mingchen Yuan Chonghuan before he was executed, and then looked carefully at the vigorous pen on the stone tablet and only felt familiar, and after fixing his eyes for a moment, he suddenly recognized that it was Kangxi's imperial pen himself.

"He was sentenced to death in the West City and abandoned his body in the City of the City of the Year of the Crime of August of the third year (1). The executioner cut a piece of meat, and the people paid for it and ate it raw. In an instant, the meat was sold. Then disembowel out the five organs, cut off the inch and sell. The people bought it, and swallowed it with soju, and the blood flowed from their teeth and cheeks......"

Kangxi's tone was calm, and he recorded the tragic scene of Yuan Chonghuan's execution on the day of Yuan Chonghuan's execution, which was recorded with the relish of the Ming historian Zhang Dai.

Huai Sleeve listened to his oral account of these historical records, and said with feelings: "Ming Sizong killed Yuan Chonghuan, but because of the false accusations of the eunuch remnants in the imperial court, the counter-plot used by Emperor Taizong back then was just a lead for Yuan Chonghuan to be imprisoned, in fact, the Ming Dynasty has run out!" ”

Kangxi nodded lightly and said: "I actually respect the character of this Han general, with his words, movements, advance and retreat, life and death, related to the safety of the country and the glory of the nation, which has never been seen in eternity, until the end of the Ming Dynasty, only Yuan Chonghuan is alone!" ”

"Yes...... Where did this mound come from? Why is the inscription a handwritten letter of the Imperial Pen of Long Life? Huai Sleeve couldn't help but ask.

Kangxi said: "Twenty years ago, there was a chaotic party in the late Ming Dynasty in the name of paganism to cause trouble to the people, I sent troops to suppress it, and I unexpectedly got the armor that Yuan Chonghuan wore when he was guarding Liaodong, and I respected his noble character, so I set up a mound for him and buried it here. ”

When the words fell, Li Dequan took the wine that had been poured and served it to Kangxi, who picked up the wine glass and slowly sprinkled the wine juice in front of Yuan Chonghuan's monument.

Huai Sleeve heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and when he turned around to see the person who came, he opened his lips lightly in shock, and he couldn't say half a word for a while.

Kangxi put down the wine glass and turned around, and saw Li Fei wearing a bluestone-colored robe, kneeling in front of him, with a light carriage parked next to him, Chang Ning was standing next to the carriage, did not approach, only looked at this side quietly.

Huai Sleeve knows that some of the things that are covered will eventually be revealed, although Chang Ning is a prince, he can also understand that Kangxi, as the king of a country, has many things that he does not want others to know, even if he is a compatriot like them, this is Chang Ning's open-mindedness, and it is also Chang Ning's wisdom.

Li Fei respectfully kowtowed to Kangxi three times, and said solemnly: "Long live the sinner Yuan Hanzhou, a thousand years old." ”

At this point, for the first time, Huai Sleeve carefully looked at the mysterious black-clothed man who had played tricks with her, and it turned out that his name was not Li Fei, but Yuan Hanzhou.

Yuan Hanzhou's expression was calm and calm, his eyes were humbly lowered, his long and black thick eyebrows, narrow eyes, and straight nose bridge, although his expression was still serious and cold, the scar still looked shocking, but it was not as creepy as he was wearing a black night coat under the cover of the night.

Kangxi looked at Yuan Hanzhou calmly, there was no anger in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "You have always wanted to find your ancestor Yuan Chonghuan's clothes, and today, I will return it to you." ”

Yuan Hanzhou's brows furrowed slightly, and he bent down and slammed his forehead on the ground: "Sinners...... Shame on the Holy Humerus! ”

Kangxi said: "You have a reason for doing it, I am not accountable today, the imperial concubine has a few words to ask, you need to reply to her truthfully." ”

Yuan Hanzhou kowtowed respectfully again: "Yuan Hanzhou knows and does, and he will not hide it!" ”

Kangxi slowly turned around, staring at the old elm tree with scattered branches and leaves not far away, and only faced Yuan Hanzhou with his sleeves in his arms, his expression was a little irrepressibly excited.

"This palace asks you, back then, in the Zhaoren Palace**, you killed Jianyue?" Asked with a sleeve in his arms.

"Yes!" Yuan Hanzhou replied cleanly.

Huai Sleeve continued: "In the Beishan Waste Palace, it is also you who assassinated the main palace and the twelve beylers. ”

"Yes!"

"What about Concubine De? Who instructed you to harm her? Asked about Xi Lan, Huai Sleeve's voice was a little hoarse, and the trills in her voice could not be suppressed.

"The time when Concubine De Niangniang was killed, it was not the intention of the prince and Lord Suo, but Concubine Lan, Concubine Lan wanted to order the sinners to assassinate Niangniang, but was overheard by Concubine De Niangniang, Concubine Lan knew that she must expose the matter to Banzai, so she ordered the criminals to kill people and kill them, and then the criminals rushed to the abandoned palace to assassinate Niangniang and the twelve Baylors."

Yuan Hanzhou said a few concise words to make the events of the day clear and clear, Kangxi Huoran turned around, saw his sleeve shaking a few times, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"What about the poisoning of the Twelve Baylors and the assassination? Whose does this mean? Kangxi asked coldly.

"It is the prince's intention to poison the twelve beylers' meals, but to assassinate the emperor is the intention of Lord Suo, and Lord Suo said......"

Yuan Hanzhou said this, after all, he began to be jealous because of the reverence for Kangxi in his heart, and his tone paused slightly, and he secretly observed Kangxi's expression, and saw that his divine light was like an ancient well, so he continued.

"Master Suo said, while the crown prince is still in the position of the prince, if he lives long, the prince can become a great treasure!"

After hearing these words, Huai Sleeve's palms were already cold, and he turned his eyes to look at Kangxi again, but his expression was still calm, as if the person Yuan Hanzhou was asking for his life had nothing to do with him.

For a while, no one was saying anything, the autumn wind rose swayingly, blowing the dead leaves of the branches next to them like dead butterflies falling one after another, and the lonely mound in the suburbs looked particularly gloomy.

Kangxi's eyes were deep, and he couldn't see the fall of the focal length, and after a while, he said lightly: "You go." ”

Li De, who was standing at the other end with his sleeves and waiting, didn't know why, and only after a little reaction did he understand that Kangxi was talking to Yuan Hanzhou.

Yuan Hanzhou always knelt, and when he heard Kangxi say this, his eyes widened in disbelief, Kangxi continued: "You just want to do your best with the same sect, and it is not your wish to be used by Suo Etu, besides, ......" Kangxi paused slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Even if you don't come to kill me, Suo Etu will choose someone else, which has nothing to do with you." ”

After listening to Kangxi's words, Yuan Hanzhou lowered his eyes, kowtowed three times uprightly, got up and wanted to leave, Que saw his sleeves standing quietly beside Kangxi, thought about it, and bowed down again: "The sinners are presumptuous, dare to ask Niangniang when she lived in Qingzhi Palace before, there was a snow goose girl, I don't know if she is still alive now?" ”
