After the ceremony, the kings and ministers retired one after another. Reading the book // Kangxi was full of interest, and ordered to pass on the Taihe Palace, and specially ordered to give Tong Guowei, Tong Guogang, Long Keduo and Oro Dai and other relatives of Queen Tong in the court, and invited the clan, ministers, guards and ministers below the princess, and ministers above the second rank to enter the banquet together to show their favor to the Tong family. During the banquet, Kangxi asked the prince and Yinzhen to drink wine on behalf of Tong Guowei and Tong Guogang, and issued a decree on the spot to crown the two Tong brothers as second-class dukes, Tong Guogang's son Oro Daijin first-class guard, plus a third-class earl, Tong Guoweizi, and Empress Tong's younger brother Long Keduo as a first-class viscount. The four of them were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked God.

Although the prince has the identity of the prince, he is very respectful to the two newly sealed grandfathers, which makes the two Tong brothers panic, although Yinzhen is close to Queen Tong, but he does not move around much of the Tong family, except for the last time he hunted with Long Keduo had a brief relationship, but it is not a close relationship, so it is just a degree, and the appearance makes people who don't know the details look like they will think that the prince is brought up by Queen Tong. However, Yinzhen didn't think so, and there was a little secret laugh in his heart for the prince, Queen Tong had repeatedly warned Yinzhen a long time ago, to the important ministers of the court, especially the relatives and nobles who controlled the government, to stay away, including the Tong family, although Queen Tong did not clearly explain the reason, Yinzhen was like a mirror, and took this to deeply understand Queen Tong's care for herself.

Kangxi experienced the chaos of Ao Bai and his henchmen when he was young, so he attached great importance to the royal power, and was more or less afraid of peeping into the monarchy. To be the son of such an emperor, if you want to make a difference, but not to threaten the emperor's position, you can only be a lonely minister and obey the emperor's orders. The friendship with the ministers should not be too good, otherwise the emperor will suspect that you are buying people's hearts and trying to form a party, and you must not be too stiff, otherwise the emperor will worry that your behavior is poor, which will lead to poor popularity, and the gentleman will stay away. The degree of reading // grasp lies in the plain like water, so that it can not only show that you are only public-minded and selfless, but also prove that you are self-confident and upright, after all, only weak need to win over others.

Therefore, Yin Zhenquan was watching the prince's performance, and he didn't say much, but secretly paid attention to Kangxi's reaction, and sure enough, Kangxi saw the prince so low, and his brows wrinkled slightly.

The banquet was underway, and I saw Li Dequan hurriedly come forward, whispered a few words in Kangxi's ear, Kangxi's face changed greatly, stretched out his hand to stop the banquet, and said: "Yinren, Yinzhen, you two will go to Zhongcui Palace with me immediately." After speaking, he thought for a while, and added: "Tong Guowei, Long Keduo, you two will also go with me." ”

Yinzhen immediately realized that something must have happened to Queen Tong, and her face became pale at the moment, and the soles of her feet were shaking, or the third elder brother saw that the situation was not right, and helped Yinzhen slightly. Tong Guowei's father and son also knew a little about Tong Jia's illness, and they were also panicked at the moment, and Tong Guowei even stumbled on the ground. The other princes and ministers of the banquet were also aware of the atmosphere, and suddenly, the entire Taihe Palace was silent, but without Kangxi's will, no one dared to move, but Prince Yu was alert and said loudly: "Please emperor's decree, the banquet will be dispersed here." ”

Only then did Kangxi come back to his senses and said, "All the ministers, the banquet is here, let's all disperse, Prince Yu, you also come with me." ”

Only then did the ministers kneel on the ground to thank him, but Kangxi didn't pay much attention to it, and led a group of people to wait for himself, and hurried to Zhongcui Palace.

Along the way, Yin Zhen was so anxious that he couldn't wait to fly over, looking at Long Keduo beside him, he also clenched his fists tightly, obviously nervous.

When I came to the gate of Zhongcui Palace, I saw a group of imperial doctors who were already guarding the door, and when they saw Kangxi coming, they knelt down to ask for peace, Kangxi was extremely impatient, and said: "When is it, what else do you ask, Lin Guokang?"

A five-grade dressed imperial doctor trembled, knelt and moved two steps, came to Kangxi, and replied: "Lord Lin is giving the queen mother an acupuncture in the house. ”

Kangxi pushed him away, pulled his feet and entered the house, Yinzhen didn't care about any etiquette, so he rushed in front of the prince and hurriedly followed. Tong Guowei and Long Keduo were also anxious, but taking into account the rules of the palace, the foreign ministers were not allowed to enter the inner room unless they were ordered, even if the two of them were the queen's family, they could only go around outside. Prince Yu looked at their appearance, so he beckoned to Li Dequan, and gave two commands, Li Dequan nodded, entered the house, and after a while, he came out again, and said: "The emperor dictated, at a very moment, don't scruple, Prince Yu, Tong Guowei, and Long Keduo will meet immediately." ”

As soon as I entered, I saw Kangxi, the prince, and Yinzhen gathered in front of Queen Tong's bed, Yinzhen's face was already full of tears, and Kangxi grabbed Queen Tong's hand. Lin Guokang next to him saw that the father and son of the Tong family were still stunned, so he reminded in a low voice: "The queen master is at this moment and a half, grandpa, if you have anything to say, go and talk to the master." ”

Tong Guowei seemed to be completely stunned, just in the Taihe Palace, the scene of his colleagues saying joy and now seeing his daughter lying on the couch appeared in his mind, making him at a loss. Long Keduo was more calm than him, hurriedly came to the couch, knelt down, and said, "Second sister, second sister, Xiao Duozi has come to see you." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Tong Jia's eyes, and then he was covered by a layer of moisture, and his throat was "ho-ho", but he couldn't speak. Long Keduo couldn't hold back anymore at this time, and couldn't help but let out a sad voice.

At this time, Kangxi, who had been hanging his head and secretly feeling sad, felt that the hand of Tong Jiashi he was holding moved, and hurriedly looked at Queen Tong and said, "Yue'er, I will be by your side, and I will always be with you." ”

At this time, he noticed that Tong Jia's eyes had not wandered on himself and Yinzhen, so he sighed secretly in his heart, pulled Yinzhen to his side, and then said to Tong Jiashi: "Yue'er, I know that you don't worry about Yinzhen, I must take good care of him, don't worry." ”

The prince heard it from the side, and his face was unnatural.

When Tong Jiashi heard Kangxi's promise, the look in his eyes was a little more, and he actually sighed softly, his lips moved, Kangxi hurriedly put his ears up, and finally recognized what Queen Tong said, nodded, and said to Yinzhen: "Your emperor wants me to tell you in front of everyone here that you will not be knighted before the crown, so as not to open the way to the palace." In the future, I want you to work hard and earn a future for yourself, otherwise, she will not recognize you as a son. Then, Kangxi looked at Queen Tong again and said, "What I promised you, I will definitely do it, I will take Yinzhen with me from today onwards and teach him personally, so that he will definitely have something to do in the future." ”

At this time, I saw that Queen Tong's face showed a peaceful look, and after a sharp panting, her head was tilted to the side. Lin Guokang hurriedly came to Tong Jia's side, felt his pulse, probed his nose again, and said in a trembling voice: "The queen's master has ascended to heaven." ”

At this time, all the people in the house have actually realized it, but they don't want to accept this reality for a while, hearing this sentence, it is like opening the floodgates, all crying, Kangxi's tears have also flowed all over his cheeks, Yinzhen is even more head-grabbing the ground, he knows that the last words that Queen Tong said with all her might were not for Kangxi to hear, but to the prince, she wanted to reassure the prince, in the last breath of her life, she still thought of how to better protect her children, maybe, this is the mother.
