One hundred and twenty-four, the final victor
Chapter 123: The Final Victor
Everything went as I expected - Kangxi couldn't have asked for his son's life in order to kill a few thieves, so he agreed to exchange hostages. And the seventeenth elder brother who was replaced has already suffered enough, even if Kangxi is angry, it is not good to sprinkle his anger on him at this time.
And this matter is related to the prestige of the Celestial Empire, and it is inconvenient to make it public, so the public version that everyone knows is - the emperor is gracious and pardons this group of thieves who don't know whether they are alive or dead; And the seventeenth elder brother was greedy and competitive, and he fell and injured his leg while riding a horse...... Of course, there will definitely be nothing in this, I'm just a listener of these gossip.
"Qiyun, you know what?" Ke'er was finally able to walk freely in only a few days, which was the only thing I could be happy about in this period of time: "I heard that the seventeenth elder brother was seriously injured this time, and the imperial doctors were all staying at Concubine Qin's place, and I heard that Concubine Qin's eyes were even swollen from crying!" ”
I know this without you saying it, and I really want to forget all about it, but you want to run to remind me: "There is such a thing? So how is he doing now? "I said I wanted to forget, but I just wanted to know, I was really conflicted!
"Oh, he's a prince, of course it's more expensive, but it's probably not much of a problem!" Ke'er didn't pay attention to my ambivalent attitude towards this question, and continued her complaining: "If this is changed to a palace maid like me, it is cheap, and it is estimated that it will be left to fend for itself wherever it is!" ”
"Ke'er, I don't allow you to say that about yourself, you are a noble princess of Mongolia, and I will help you go back sooner or later!" I promised her.
"I can't go back!" Ke'er's eyes were full of longing for the past and endless sadness: "That grassland no longer belongs to us, the cattle and sheep there have been occupied by other tribes, my people were all killed in that war, you tell me, I am the only one, what is the use of me going back, what is the use?" ”
"Ke'er, then let me tell you, as long as you don't give up, everything will be fine!" I said to Ke'er, and I also said to myself - I can't give up, the enemy is right in front of me, and Fourteen hasn't escaped yet, how can I feel guilty for this, give up for this miscalculation?
Zhang Xiaoying, you have to become Zhang Xiaoying who left school at the beginning of that year, you have to believe that you are the invincible Zhang Xiaoying - you have to believe that nothing can hit you except death, no matter what, you can't retreat, believe in yourself - once you can survive to the last moment, as long as you don't waver, you will definitely be able to do it! Now, even if I had to face death, I must not back down.
"By the way, when the dynasty was in the morning today, the emperor decided to release the fourteenth elder brother!" Although Ke'er didn't know about my relationship with the fourteenth elder brother, he had heard that he had saved me, so as soon as he heard the news, he came back to tell me immediately.
How can it be? I didn't think about how to help him get rid of his crimes, so he came out on his own - it didn't make sense? Kangxi is not a stupid person, how could he let go of this good opportunity to warn your brothers not to make trouble behind their backs? "Who did you listen to? Are you sure you heard it right? ”
"No, the good sister Ruyin who entered the palace with me is now on an errand at Concubine De's, although she is just a little slave who waits for a change of clothes, but the news she heard will definitely not be wrong!" Ke'er saw me with a look of disbelief, and said with a smile: "How can I lie to you about this kind of thing, it is estimated that the holy decree has been issued at this time, and the fourteenth master is afraid that it has already come out!" ”
I have to say - a senior palace maid like Ke'er, although she lives at the bottom of the palace, is also the most well-informed group, much better than Gege, who has nothing to do in my study every day!
"Who told you not to go out for a few days! This matter is actually not a secret in the palace for a long time, everyone knows that he is not dead in the Joseon family, of course the fourteenth elder brother will be fine, and he will never be responsible for the death of a follower next to the Korean envoy! ”
How dare I go out and walk around these days, there are rumors everywhere about the injury of the seventeenth elder brother, and even more exaggerated, it is actually said that the seventeenth elder brother has been seriously injured and died - every time I go out now, I have to go through a torture of conscience, and I am even so scared that I can't sleep all night, you don't dare to go around!
"Isn't it the son of the world who died? Why did you become a follower again? "I'll ask for a little more news to make up for the lack of staying at home these days!
"I don't know, I just know that the attendant was wearing Shizi's clothes that day, maybe he wanted to steal something!" Although Ke'er herself is also a slave, her deep-rooted concept since she was a child makes her not attach much importance to the life of a slave: "Anyway, as long as the death is not the son of Joseon, it is not a big deal, the fourth elder brother has already reported to the emperor, saying that it was the snitch - but I heard that the snitch is very powerful, and I heard that the tiles on the roof of the post house were damaged a lot by him that day!" ”
If I look in the mirror now, I can see that I am full of black lines - some kind of snitch, it is me! The trial of the fourth elder brother's case is really creative - he actually put the title of a snitch on my head, is he sarcastic about me?
"What a snitch, have you been caught?" This sentence is pure nonsense, am I standing here in a good manner? But this time, this extra-large black cauldron with the participation of many parties and the mixing of many people finally fell on my head!
"No! Listening to the analysis of the fourth elder brother, it may also have something to do with the activities of this Heaven and Earth Society - they hope that the fourteenth elder brother will be unlucky, so the emperor immediately released the fourteenth elder brother with all his knowledge, and ordered him to arrest the thief immediately! ”
Okay, the fourth elder brother's trick Li Dai Taozhuang's plan is good - Kangxi is angry about the kidnapping of the seventeenth elder brother! Putting the blame on the head of the Heaven and Earth Society, Kangxi will accept it even if he doesn't believe it, this is an excellent excuse for him to eradicate them! Fools won't accept it!
As long as the emperor approves this reason, the prince and the others can't say anything against it, it's really a trick!
However, the most clever in this matter is the son of Joseon - he actually came up with the trick of using a stand-in to deceive death to attract Kangxi's attention. It's good now, if you talk about what Kangxi thinks about this matter in his heart, he is in charge of the safety of the Korean prince in the capital, and now whether it is the prince or his uncle who is far away in North Korea, he can no longer move him.
Master, sure enough, master! No wonder he was able to immediately rectify the rule of the Korean officials after returning to China and become a generation of Ming monarchs, he had such resourcefulness at a young age, and completely took so many princes of our Qing Dynasty out of my country to play with me thoroughly, and played a good show with him, which is really high!
Now it's good that we've all been busy in vain, and he's the ultimate winner of this war!
