Chapter 208: Shocking Change (14)
Seeing that Ma Qi seemed to have a later word, Kangxi turned cold and said, "What? Do you still want to hit a wooden clock for him?" Ma Qi was stunned, hung his head and said: "What is the identity of a slave, how dare you interfere in the master's family affairs?" Kangxi eased his face a little and said: "State affairs and family affairs, generally all in the hearts of the people, you have been by my side for all these years, you should know me best, who wants to forgive, and you have to come to this service today." If you have anything to say, you will say, I will not sin against you. Ma Qi hesitated for a moment and said: "The master has always been lenient and compassionate, and now the brothers are all sent by the master, after all, they are all princes, and their status is noble, and now it seems ...... to deal with it like this." Kangxi interrupted coldly: "You are just a woman's benevolence! I want them to sober up, what is the understanding of the monarch and the minister's father and son." Let them think thoroughly and deeply, and it will be the greatest mercy to them in the future, but if he does not keep his duty again and loses his own life, I don't know that I am not lenient and unkind. Hearing these words, Ma Qi's heart palpitated, and he couldn't hide his worries and said: "The slave knows the master's thoughts, but..." Kangxi was a little impatient, and said: "What else can I say together, you used to be a straightforward person, how can you avoid taboos like this now?" Ma Qi was excited by Kangxi's words, but he couldn't do it if he didn't say it, he raised words and sentences, and said: "Yes, the slave is not as far-reaching as the master, and only says a little shallow knowledge." The slave felt that the thirteenth elder brother took this matter on himself, and it was quite strange at the moment. ”
Seeing that Kangxi was only frowning, Ma Qi didn't mean to interrupt him, met the two sharp eyes, and continued: "It is said that the elder brothers avoided this matter, but the thirteenth elder brother not only admitted it, but also took the fault on himself. Last night, the thirteenth elder brother was on duty, and the two guards said that they saw the thirteenth elder brother meeting the prince on the road, and they went down to duty together, so it can be seen that they have never left the thirteenth elder brother, no matter what, the thirteenth elder brother cannot do such a big rebellion in front of the accompanying guards. Moreover, even if the thirteenth elder brother sees the prince go to the royal tent, it is also a common thing for the prince to ask the prince to see the holy driver, and it is also common sense that the thirteenth elder brother does not see any doubts. Take 10,000 steps back and say, if he is really secretly married to the prince, at most he is guilty of colluding with the prince, how can he admit that he is the main culprit in this case?" Ma Qi was separating the doubts in his heart, but he heard Kangxi snort coldly: "That's just a trick to protect the prince! Don't you see him trying hard to defend Yinren, heh, but I can't frame him Yinren?" Ma Qi had to be silent, but another thought rose in his heart: The thirteenth elder brother is straightforward, and he is the age of the blood and strength, since he had a dispute with Kangxi's father and son, what he said may not be a momentary temperament, but Kangxi was born to believe that Yinxiang was the head of the prince. After thinking about it, the prince's snooping has not directly pointed to the evidence so far, if even this case is not established, can any of these charges be determined?
Although Ma Qixin thought this, he didn't dare to speak, looking at Kangxi's expression, knowing that he was still angry, he said cautiously: "The slave still has a thought, for the master to refer to: although the eldest brother is looking for the prince and the thirteenth elder brother in the fourth elder brother's tent, the fourth elder brother himself is not there, and the ordinary master also praises the fourth elder brother...... This matter may not be able to stir up, that is, it is said that he recited the scriptures in the lama temple for a day, and the master asked someone to inquire and inquire. Kangxi groaned slightly, but finally shook his head and said, "Ma Qihe, you have been walking in the south study for a long time, you should know that you do extraordinary things at extraordinary times." In the current situation, we must first control the general trend before we can do anything. Whether the fourth elder brother is wronged or guilty, when the situation is stabilized, there will be a clear outcome. Now I take him, not to keep him away from right and wrong. You know his temperament when he was a teenager, he was reckless, and for Yinren and Yinxiang, it was inevitable that he would not fall into it. You have to be able to understand that I am Amma, and that I am protecting my son. Ma Qi savored Kangxi's words carefully, and it seemed that he still believed that the fourth elder brother was innocent and wanted to protect him more, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The candle flame beeped, and the face printed with Kangxi was obscure, only to hear Kangxi sigh faintly, and said: "What kind of sin did I do, I actually raised such a son as Yinren! I can also be worthy of passing on the throne to such disloyal and unfilial people, and I almost ruined the foundation ...... of my ancestors and ancestors." How can I be worthy of the subjects of the world, how can I be worthy of my ancestors and ancestors...?" Ma Qi had already knelt on the ground, and couldn't help but burst into tears, but he remembered his duty and persuaded himself: "I hope the master cherishes it, this situation in front of you, the master's dragon body is the most important..." ”
Chen Tingjing is outside the tent at the moment, it is inconvenient to see him, and he doesn't know the details inside, he is blindly worried, except for some Taiji princes of the Mongolian department, there are really not a few nobles in the clan in Beijing, except for Bo Guoduo, who leads Prince Zhuang but does nothing, there are only a few Beizi, dukes. coincided with the great change, and he was a Hanchen, so he had to do this, and he had to think twice about what he said, for fear of getting into trouble. At this moment, all the elder brothers knelt in front of them, and their faces were like frost, which made Chen Tingjing not embarrassed.
When the sky was about to dawn, Ma Qifang walked out slowly from the imperial tent, with a tired face, saw Chen Tingjing, pulled him aside, and said in a low voice: "The master has an order, and all the ministers who follow the king will see the car in front of the tent." Chen Tingjing was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Isn't it, do you want to...?" Ma Qi made a silent gesture and looked around, only then did he pull Chen Tingjing aside where there was no one, and lowered his voice a little more: "The master is determined to abolish the prince." Although Chen Tingjing had guessed this meaning last night, when Ma Qi said it, his body was still shocked. Ma Qi's eyes sank, and he said: "Ziduan, don't think about anything on this stall, it's important to do the errand assigned by the master." Chen Tingjing nodded silently.
Shao leaned, followed the clan, and the big and small officials were already kneeling on the ground according to their identities and grades. In front of them, there were brothers with bare heads and tied hands, how could everyone dare to make a little noise? Nearly 100 people were silent. After waiting for the scene of half a burnt incense, he saw four guards hugging the prince out, although he was not treated as embarrassed as other elder brothers, Yinren was still like ashes, after this night, he knew that what was about to await him must be that ending. People are swords, I am fish and meat, Yinren only has these eight words in his heart, and he has not been able to go. The prince couldn't help laughing at himself after kneeling alone in front of the elder brothers, after this time, I am afraid that he will have no intersection with this position below one person and above ten thousand people.
After another moment, Kangxi walked out of the imperial tent with Bo Guoduo, Ma Qi, and Chen Tingjing, sat down in a chair in the room, and swept his gaze to everyone present without saying a word, and the coldness became stronger.
