Chapter 172: Tuhai Action
Kangxi saw Tuhai kneeling on the ground, and the thoughts in his heart were inextricably linked, not only moved by the relationship between Tuhai and the emperor, but also sighed that he didn't know if he would have the opportunity to meet this kind of monarch and minister who could be remembered in his heart.
Kangxi comforted Tu Hai a few words, and Tu Hai also recovered from that emotion just now.
Tu Hai tried his best to calm his mind and said to Kangxi: "It's a slave who is rude, please forgive the emperor!"
Kangxi waved his hand and said indifferently: "Aiqing's loyalty, I know that Aiqing doesn't have to care, even the spirit of Huang Ama in the sky will also be moved by Aiqing's loyalty." ”
Tuhai's expression was still solemn, without the slightest glory to be boasted of.
Kangxi felt that Tuhai was a little abnormal, and asked quietly, "Aiqing, what's wrong?" ”
Tu Hai looked up at Kangxi, and then said: "Your Majesty, the slave has a word, I want to ask the emperor, and ask the emperor to inform the minion." ”
Kangxi was a little apprehensive in his heart, and said, "What does Aiqing have to ask me?" ”
Tu Hai stared straight into Kangxi's eyes, as if he could see into his heart, "Your Majesty, who is more important in your heart, the Empress Dowager or the first emperor?" ”
Kangxi was a little uncomfortable by Tu Hai, he intuitively felt that his answer this time would be very important, at least related to Tu Hai's attitude towards him, so he didn't dare to answer casually.
Kangxi deeply recalled his life, he remembered that because of the education of the Empress Dowager in his ear, he said that he should not learn from his own Amma, but work hard to be a good emperor.
He was stimulated by the words of the Empress Dowager and lost his yearning for his own emperor Ama, he thought that his emperor Ama was an emperor who loved beauty and did not love the country, and Kangxi was very disdainful of his emperor Ama for a moment in the past.
But now in Tuhai's words, Kangxi learned a different image of Huang Ama, Kangxi once dreamed of the image of his own Emperor Ama, even if he was educated by the Empress Dowager and quickly stopped imagining, but Kangxi felt that the Huang Ama that Tuhai said in his mouth was the real Huang Ama.
Maybe it's out of a son's yearning for his own Huang Ama's nature, or maybe it's Kangxi's beautification of Huang Ama in his heart. Kangxi quickly accepted what Tuhai said to him, and Kangxi did not suspect that what Tuhai said was false.
As a result, the balance in Kangxi's heart began to favor his early death of Huang Ama.
It's just that this doesn't mean that Kangxi has no feelings for his grandmother, the Empress Dowager, otherwise it is clear that this time the Empress Dowager is forcing the palace, and he has the opportunity to let the Empress Dowager be unable to turn over in one fell swoop, but Kangxi still gave up, and in the end he only put the Empress Dowager under house arrest in Kunning Palace, and did nothing else.
Although Kangxi said that he was unwilling to deal with the Empress Dowager for the sake of Mongolia's stability, Kangxi was not a weak person, if he didn't really have feelings for the Empress Dowager, how could Kangxi do this.
Kangxi was in a dilemma all of a sudden, Tu Hai looked at Kangxi's performance, but sighed secretly in his heart, he was still anxious!
However, since he had already acted, he would not let things go back to square one, so he said: "Your Majesty, have you decided that you will not pursue the matter of the Empress Dowager forcing the palace this time?" ”
Kangxi was relieved to hear that Tuhai didn't force him to answer the question just now. However, Tuhai's next question, Kangxi was still a little at a loss.
Kangxi asked with some hesitation: "What does Aiqing mean by asking?"
Tu Hai didn't answer Kangxi's question, so he continued: "Please also ask the emperor to pay attention to the movements of the Empress Dowager, and don't let the Empress Dowager have any chance of turning the tables!" Just like the previous emperor. ”
Tu Hai was silent after speaking, but Kangxi was disturbed by Tu Hai's words and wanted to continue asking, but Kangxi had a hunch that what Tu Hai said would never be what he wanted to hear, so there was silence between the two.
Kangxi suddenly thought of Mama Qian's confession at this time, although he looked horrified, but he didn't believe that what Mama Qian said was true, he always felt that Mama Qian was like crazy, and he would bite someone when he caught it.
So Kangxi almost didn't take Mama Qian's confession seriously, and now Kangxi suddenly thought that the Empress Dowager said in Mama Qian's confession had killed Huang Amma, thinking that incident finally made him have a crack in his heart.
Tu Hai's plausible words made Kangxi feel uneasy, and even when he saw Tu Hai, he felt a little tired in his heart, even if he knew that he shouldn't blame the person in front of him, but emotionally Kangxi still couldn't accept the meaning of Tu Hai's words.
Kangxi is also an emperor in the end, so he quickly controlled his thoughts, and said to Tuhai in a warm voice: "Aiqing is also tired, why don't you go back and rest!" I will remember Aiqing's teachings!"
Tu Hai didn't continue to say anything to Kangxi, so he said to Kangxi: "The slave retires." ”
Kangxi finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching Tu Hai retreat.
Although he wanted to know some secrets today, after knowing it, Kangxi regretted it a little.
Kangxi knew that Tu Hai still had a lot to say, such as Concubine Jing's child, whether his brother was still alive or not, Tu Hai never gave him a positive answer, but although Tu Hai did not answer this question clearly, Kangxi was sure that he could not be alive, otherwise Tu Hai's attitude would not be able to explain it now.
Since Tuhai clearly supported him, then presumably his brother would not be the heir of Huang Amma.
And Tuhai may have other ideas, but except for the possibility that his brother may have died, Tuhai would not let him know about it.
Because Tuhai is probably also worried that he will kill his brother. Even in the face of a disabled prince, Kangxi asked himself, there is a prince who is more justified than him, Kangxi himself will definitely not be able to hold back the killing intent in his heart.
But later, Kangxi no longer had any obsession with his brother, because what Tuhai said later made Kangxi break his previous concepts.
The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager's actions in this matter surprised Kangxi.
There is also an obvious meaning in and out of Tuhai's words, even if Tuhai didn't explain it, Kangxi also knew it, and his mother was definitely involved in this matter, so the person who started it was obvious, except for the two brothers Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei, there would be no one else at all.
Kangxi remembered that the secret in the mouths of the two brothers Tong family, Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei must be related to this incident.
Kangxi's feelings about the Tong family are a little complicated, it's not that Kangxi doesn't agree with the Tong family's brothers' approach, anyway, the Tong family's brothers are for him, Kangxi won't say that the Tong family's approach is wrong.
It's just that the Tong brothers' approach made Kangxi instinctively disgusted as an emperor.
The Tong brothers were able to hunt down and kill another prince in order to keep the prince with their own bloodline.
So if someone from the Tong family enters his harem in the future, will the Tong family kill their other children for the sake of their daughter?
Kangxi had to think about this problem.
Kangxi had to be glad that he didn't really let his cousin enter the palace, otherwise Kangxi could almost imagine how difficult he would be in the future.
And Kangxi also lost his mentality of wanting to compensate the Tong family, and gave up letting the Tong family have another daughter, at most let the Tong family have another prince of his son, Fujin, as for the rest, Kangxi has been thrown out of the clouds.
Kangxi also understood his emperor's mood at this time, if there was a prince's mother who chased and killed another prince, no matter which emperor could not stand it.
At this time, Kangxi was no longer disgusted with the strange nature of his emperor Ama favoring Dong E's family. Regardless of whether Concubine Dong E had the intention of doing it or not, but in the end she didn't do it.
Kangxi asked himself, he is expected to pamper such a concubine in the future, no matter which emperor does not want his prince to die, Kangxi has now died several sons, and he can't afford to lose any prince.
Kangxi's thoughts are not mentioned for the time being, but Tuhai who returned to the house is in a good mood, and Tuhai is very satisfied with his actions today.
Tu Hai's every move today is almost within the scope of his arrangement, such as the note that Kangxi received.
Tu Hai has not done nothing in the past so many years, he has long figured out the secret manpower of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, not to mention the Empress Dowager's people for the time being, the people around the Empress Dowager have long been planted by Tu Hai.
So when the Queen Mother was about to use the secret guard to send the small note to Kangxi, Tu Hai replaced some of the contents of the note, erasing the part of the Queen Mother's guess about Concubine Jing's child's whereabouts.
Tu Hai saw this part and almost wanted to strangle the Queen Mother to death, because the Queen Mother also said that Yun Yao's brother Ling Tai was suspected to be Concubine Jing's child back then.
If the emperor sees it, even if he knows that it is not true, but Ling Tai's future future will be ruined, and Tu Hai will naturally not allow the queen mother to do this.
And the Queen Mother should have known that Concubine Jing's children had passed away back then, but she still wrote such a guess on this note, clearly wanting to put them to death.
Back then, Tuhai did just one more backhand, and Tuhai didn't expect today's scene anyway.
Tu Hai can almost imagine the Empress Dowager's plan, she personally supported one of the weakest princes to ascend to the throne, and then instilled in him all the Empress Dowager's own concepts, and the Empress Dowager will also learn the lessons of the previous emperor and make Kangxi the emperor in her mind step by step.
And the emperor will also repay the favor, be extremely filial to the empress dowager, and wait until the empress dowager dies before handing over all the forces in the palace to the empress dowager to maintain Horqin's influence on the emperor.
Tu Hai's plan for the Empress Dowager can hardly find any breakthrough point, because this is a yang conspiracy, and Tu Hai can't be mad enough to hurt the emperor, after all, Tu Hai is still a courtier under feudal education.
And the Empress Dowager also calculated him, forcing Tu Hai to say anything about the Empress Dowager's shortcomings to Kangxi, otherwise Kangxi would be the first to refuse.
Tu Hai was already desperate, and he was ready to bury the affairs of the former emperor in his heart and not tell anyone about it, but who knew that there was a mistake between the empress dowager and the empress dowager, so that Tu Hai got into this loophole, and the empress dowager decided to force the palace.
But who knew that the emperor still had feelings for the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager was put under house arrest, and Tu Hai could only give up, but this did not prevent Tu Hai from giving Kangxi the eye medicine of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, sooner or later one day he would always be able to pull the Empress Dowager off the horse to comfort the spirit of the emperor.
