Kangxi has already made up his mind to accept these vassals to become subjects of the Qing Dynasty, but he knows very well that human nature is cheap, and if it is too easy to obtain, he will not cherish it.

Therefore, after making the courtiers express their objections passionately, he feigned anger and said: "Although they are a small country, they have the heart of the articles and etiquette of the Heavenly Empire, how can I turn away these loyal people from the Heavenly Empire?" ”

Ma Qi heard the sound and knew the elegant meaning, and said: "This matter is only the unilateral remarks of the envoys, and it is not yet possible to know the true situation of their countries, and the ministers think that the imperial court can send the imperial history to the countries to investigate the public opinion of the royal family, officials and the people, if all three are willing to enter my Qing Dynasty, and then send people who are full of learning and Confucianism to educate, learn my language, write my words, and practice my etiquette, after all three are passed, you can join the Qing Dynasty and be my Qing subjects." ”

All the courtiers were eager to give Ma Qi a thumbs up, high, really high! Educating a country is not something that can be successful in three or five years, it is normal to drag it out for decades, and people have nothing to say.

The envoys also spent a lot of time in the Qing Dynasty, and they couldn't hear these pitfalls, so they begged bitterly, asking Kangxi to give a deadline for the investigation, and to accept them to join the Qing Dynasty after the investigation was completed.

Kangxi agreed to their former request, and only said that they would consider the latter request.

After returning that day, the third elder brother went to the fourteenth elder brother's mansion. The fourteenth elder brother is still in captivity because of the abolition of the prince, so I don't know about today's affairs.

When the third elder brother saw the fourteenth elder brother, he was drunk in the garden, and he already had a knuckle on his forehead, but he didn't take care of it, his beard was long and messy, and he didn't look like a person in his twenties, but he was even older than the third elder brother.

The third elder brother stepped forward, snatched the wine jug from his hand, and said hatefully: "Fourteenth brother, why are you decadent like this?" ”

"Dog minion, can't you even drink a sip of wine now?"

The fourteenth elder brother staggered to his feet, and was about to hit someone, but was restrained by the third elder brother with one hand: "Fourteenth brother, you see clearly, I am the third brother!" ”

The fourteenth elder brother tried to open his eyes, stared at the third elder brother for a long time, and then suddenly said: "It turned out to be the third brother, how did you think of me as a big man like you?" ”

The third elder brother was a little sneering, since the fourteenth elder brother was imprisoned, he really hadn't come to visit.

But in just a moment, the third elder brother returned to normal, he sat down with a smile, and said to the fourteenth elder brother: "Fourteenth brother, your luck has come!" ”

The fourteenth elder brother's eyes flashed, but he turned into a chaotic appearance again, and smirked: "What luck can I have?" In my life, I have no luck to do it, so it's not bad to die at home like this, clean, hehe. ”

"I'm serious! Isn't it Khan Ama's longevity festival today, Khan Ama dreamed of the demon emperor last night, saying that he wanted to choose a good apprentice among the emperor's grandsons, and there were two conditions, one was to be a descendant, and the other was to be over six years old and under twelve years old. I took a look, and the Hongyan of the old nine family and the Hongming of your family are qualified, isn't this a great thing? ”

"Really?"

The fourteenth elder brother's wine woke up all of a sudden. Although he is now confined in the mansion, he still knows some news, and now the hottest ones are the Heavenly Palace, the fairy and the immortal.

If his son can be chosen by the Demon Emperor, then he will be able to completely turn over!

He wiped his face a few times, sobered up, looked at the third elder brother eagerly, and said, "Third brother, what's going on, tell me in detail." ”

The third elder brother then explained to him in detail the events on today's Halloween from beginning to end, and then said meaningfully: "Now the qualified ones are Hongyan and Hongming, half of the chance, fourteenth brother, you have to seize it!" ”

The third elder brother deliberately said the word "half" very seriously.

When the crown prince was abolished, he wanted to frame the ninth elder brother but failed, but he fell into it and lost the hope of inheriting the throne, since then, he hated the ninth elder brother, although he is not visible on weekdays, but this opportunity is rare, he believes that the fourteenth elder brother will not let go of Hongyan.

A touch of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the fourteenth elder brother, no, he doesn't want half of the chance, half of the chance means that there may be half of the chance, he wants a 100% certainty!

The fourteenth elder brother hid the emotions in his eyes and arched his hand: "Thank you to the third brother for today's events, if Hongming really becomes a thing in the future, the younger brother will not forget the grace of the third brother!" ”

The third elder brother came here today for his words, and now that he got his wish, he left satisfied.

At the door, the third elder brother met the fourth elder brother, his steps were paused, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The fourth brother is also here to congratulate the fourteenth brother?" Also, no matter how you say it, you are all brothers of the same mother. ”

He stepped forward and hooked the fourth elder brother's shoulder and said, "If the fourth brother obtains the method of immortality in the future, don't forget the third brother and me." ”

The fourth elder brother looked at the third elder brother lightly and said, "Maybe the third elder brother got the method of immortality before the younger brother?" ”

The third elder brother laughed: "Then I will accept your auspicious words." ”

The third elder brother patted the fourth elder brother on the shoulder and took the lead in leaving, and the fourth elder brother looked at his departing back and frowned slightly.

The third brother shouldn't say anything bad to the fourteenth brother, this time the matter is not simple.

The fourth elder brother walked in and found the fourteenth elder brother, at this time, the fourteenth elder brother was full of calculations, so that Hongming had a 100% chance, and when he saw the fourth elder brother coming in, he sneered: "Yo, the fourth brother who is busy also has time to come to the younger brother?" ”

The fourth elder brother sat down straight and said, "What did the third brother say to you?" ”

The fourteenth elder brother played with the wine glass and said, "What else can you say?" Doesn't it mean that Khan Ama wants to choose his grandson to go to the strait next to Johor, accept the choice of the Nine-Tailed Immortal, and if he chooses, he can be the apprentice of the Demon Emperor. Hongming and Hongyan are eligible. ”

"Do you think this is an opportunity to turn around completely?"

"Isn't it? As long as Hongming can become a disciple of the Demon Emperor, not only will he be able to learn immortal arts and gain immortality, but I will also be able to shine. Until then, will Khan Amma be able to keep me in captivity? Hmph, no matter who he likes to be the prince, he can't get past me! The emperor of the world, how can he be a god in the sky to be comfortable. ”

The fourth elder brother said in a deep voice: "Don't report too much hope, Hongming may not be selected." ”

The fourteenth elder brother stood up suddenly, his fingers almost poked into the fourth elder brother's face, and said viciously: "Fourth brother, are you really my own brother?" Why don't you expect me to do well? What's in it for you to fail? Oh, do you think Hongyan will definitely be selected? Just because he was born to a woman you like? It's a pity that the ninth sister-in-law is destined to be the ninth brother's woman, nothing to do with you! ”

The fourth elder brother's eyes crossed a trace of darkness, looked up at him, and said lightly: "I'm just here to remind you, this time the matter is not so simple." ”

Where are there so many immortals? According to his guess, if this thing was not done by Fu Suni herself, in the name of the Demon Emperor, his son's status was too high, that is, the Demon Emperor knew that Hongyan was Fu Suni's son and his blood was noble, so he wanted to choose him as a disciple, and Hongming was just accompanying the prince to study.

The fourteenth elder brother snorted and said, "I don't want you to pretend." ”

The fourth elder brother took a deep look at him, turned around and left. He has already reminded him that he has done what a brother should do, and if he really wants to go his own way, then there is nothing he can do.

Everyone needs to pay for what they do, and I just hope that when the time comes, Lao Fourteen will be able to withstand the blow when he knows the truth.

After the fourth elder brother left, the fourteenth elder brother asked the servant to call Hongming.

The minions are always very well informed, and the third and fourth elder brothers came to visit the fourteenth elder brother one after another, and they quickly inquired about the reason, and the minions who used to ignore the fourteenth elder brother have become attentive again.

The fourteenth elder brother sneered, these dog minions waited, and when his Hongming became a disciple of the Demon Emperor, he would slowly settle accounts with them! Those who have bullied him and neglected him over the years will all have to pay the price!

Soon, Hongming came over a little scared. In the past few years, the fourteenth elder brother has been depressed, and his temper is naturally not good, and Hongming is very afraid of seeing him.

However, at this moment, the fourteenth elder brother had a loving smile on his face: "Hongming, come to Ama quickly." ”

Hongming walked over a little timidly: "Amma, you look for me." ”

The fourteenth elder brother bent down slightly, touched the top of Hongming's head with his big hand, and said softly: "Good boy, Ama has been in a bad mood all these years, and he has often been angry with you and wronged you." ”

This sentence, as well as the warm feeling on the top of his head, made Hongming cry instantly, threw himself into the arms of the fourteenth elder brother, and choked up: "Ama ......"

The fourteenth elder brother hugged his son with some guilt, and his voice was a little choked: "It's Ama who is not good, Ama has no ability, not only can't give you a noble identity, can't let you live a good life, but also anger you, it's Ama who is not good, Ama won't be in the future." ”

"Really?"

Hongming raised his head with teary eyes, and the fourteenth elder brother nodded heavily, promising him that he would never do it again. Hongming smiled at this time.

The father and son were warm for a while, and the fourteenth elder brother slowly mentioned that important matter.

"Son, you have a chance to become an immortal disciple, do you want it?"

"Is it the fairy in the Heavenly Palace of Changbai Mountain? My son thinks that after becoming an immortal disciple, my son will be able to learn spells and defeat those who bully me! ”

"Someone bullied you?" The fourteenth elder brother gritted his teeth and said.

Hongming flattened his mouth and said: "Yes, Brother Hongsheng said that Mum is a madman, and I will become a madman in the future, so let the brothers not play with me." ”

"Okay, you third child, your son bullied my son, and you still want to take advantage of me! Dream! ”

The fourteenth elder brother was so angry, Concubine De's madness was an eternal pain in his heart, and he felt that he was so miserable now, all because of Concubine De's madness. Otherwise, he must still be the son who is favored by Kangxi, even if he was implicated in the matter of the deposed prince, and with Concubine De's pillow wind, he would have been released from the trap a long time ago. Now all his misfortunes are due to Concubine De's madness.

Listening to his son, Hongsheng actually cursed him to become a madman in the future, isn't that equivalent to saying that he, as the son of Concubine De, will also become a madman in the future? And his children and grandchildren, every generation will become crazy? This is simply trying to ruin his eternal hope of loving Xinjue Luo Yinzhen! How can Brother Fourteen not hate?

"Hongsheng, that bad thing, when my son becomes an immortal disciple, you will naturally dispose of him as you do. Now, you have to listen carefully to what Amma said, this opportunity is not easy to come by, and tomorrow, you Khan Mafa will send someone to escort you and Hongyan of your Jiubo family to Johor......"

"Where is Johor?"

The fourteenth elder brother frowned: "You don't care where Johor is, in short, just follow the people of your Khan Mafa sect." ”

As soon as the fourteenth elder brother lowered his face, Hongming trembled with fright, the more displeased the fourteenth elder brother became, how could Hongming be so timid, with his appearance, could he get the favor of the nine-tailed immortal?

At this moment, it is not good to be angry with him, so he can only try to soften the lines on his face, and said softly: "Time is pressing, don't interrupt Amma's words at will, you know?" ”

Seeing Hongming nodding, the fourteenth elder brother continued: "Along the way, you have to show the demeanor and bearing of your emperor and grandson, and be kind to the minions who escort you......"

The fourteenth elder brother was like a duck, and handed over Hongming a number of ways to buy people's hearts, and finally said that his mouth was dry, and Hongming was dizzy, so he gave up.

He took a sip of tea and said, "Have you remembered what Amma said?" ”

Hongming nodded with difficulty, and the fourteenth elder brother said with satisfaction: "It's good to remember." ”

As for secretly solving such a matter as Hongyan, it is naturally impossible for the fourteenth elder brother to tell his son.

The next day, Kangxi sent someone to pick up Hongyan and Hongming. The fourteenth elder brother, as Hongming's Amma, was also rarely allowed to be sent off by Kangxi.

It had been several years since he had been out of Elder Brother's Mansion, and Elder Brother Fourteen looked at the strange and familiar scene outside, and his eyes couldn't help but be sour. He secretly clenched his fists, and this time, he could only succeed! Don't fail!

When the fourth elder brother saw several familiar faces in the team accompanying Hongming, his face changed slightly.

After sending the people away, the fourth elder brother followed the fourteenth elder brother back to the fourteenth elder brother's mansion, and as soon as he entered the mansion and beat away the slaves, the fourth elder brother suppressed his voice and said, "You actually gave Hongming several old people from Enie, what do you want to do?" ”

The fourteenth elder brother raised his eyebrows and said: "The fourth brother said that it makes no sense, there are no useful people around my younger brother now, so I have to ask Ene to send a few trustworthy people to accompany him to protect Hongming, is there any problem with this?" ”

The fourth elder brother roared: "Do you think I will believe such nonsense? ”

Those few minions were prepared by the Wu Ya family for Enie, from the moment Enie entered the palace, she has been escorting her from the clothed palace maid to one of the confidants of the four concubines, and their means are naturally extraordinary, the old fourteen put them next to Hongming, and he could think of it with his toes, and the task they got must not only be to escort Hongming!
