Chapter 306: Banishment
Night.
The silent street was suddenly disturbed by a chaotic sound of footsteps. Then, led by a few horseback generals, an army of thousands of men "revealed" the streets.
The army marched quickly, and it wasn't long before they came to a mansion.
"Rush!"
The leader looked like a civilian, and as soon as he waved his hand, the sergeants immediately rushed towards the gate of the mansion. And among these sergeants who rushed forward, there was a long log half a foot thick. The sergeants hugged the long log and slammed it against the gate of the palace.
"Bang!"
The gate of the house is not a city gate, so, soon, the gate was slammed open. With the order of the leading official, thousands of sergeants immediately flocked into the palace. And at the feet of these sergeants, it is the sign of this mansion ...... 'Fei Fu'!
"Immediately go to the dungeon and rescue Ling Pu, Qi Liang, and Tuo Heqi. The others, take them all down for me, if there is resistance, there will be no forgiveness! ”
This group of officers and soldiers all looked fierce and vicious, and the sudden rush in seemed to have caused a chaos in the Fei Mansion, and the sound of slashing and muskets soon rang out, and the civilian officer who led the team rushed in shouted at the sergeants under him with all his might.
"Lord Law, I didn't find Ferdinand's old dog! There weren't many people in there......"
After some time, a general wearing the uniform of a five-rank military general ran over to report to the civil official.
"Didn't find out? Hmph, this old thing must have failed to run away! Send someone to chase it now! By the way, what about Lord Ling and Lord Qi? Did you find it? The leading civil servant asked.
"Don't worry, Lord Law. The dungeon is in the backyard, and our people rushed in from behind to save people first, and they have already rescued all of you! Your Excellency is resting in the back hall right now. The general replied.
"Good. Take me to see it! The civil servant clapped his hands and walked forward with a hurried step.
After Ling Pu, Qi Liang, Tuo Heqi and others were arrested, they were all in ashes. The great crime of rebellion, especially if it is the prince's first complaint, which means that it is to cover up the prince's shame. Kangxi must put all the blame on their heads. Although the crime of plotting "chaos" was enough to punish the nine clans, the prince's behavior still seriously hurt them. Hurt their hearts. Although they are for the glory and wealth of their own land, they are also for the throne of the crown prince! But who would have thought that the man for whom they had faithfully planned would be the last to betray and capture them?
However, they did not expect that it had only been ten days since they were arrested. The situation suddenly changed, and an army suddenly broke into Fei Mansion and rescued them from the dungeon. And the people who saved them are also very familiar, and they are their original subordinates.
…… But they heard that not long after they were arrested, these subordinates of theirs had also been arrested and put in prison? How did these people come out?
"Brother Ling, Brother Qi, Lord Tuoheqi......"
Just as Ling Pu and the others were arranged to rest in the back hall of Feifudi. When the heart is full of doubts. A man barged in, and, as soon as he entered. The man expressed something called agitation in an emotional trill.
"Labor's argument!?" Not only Ling Pu, Qi Liang, Tuo Heqi, and the unsuccessful battle for the position of the prince's party, all the leading figures, what Ruijian battalion is in charge of Buyaqi, what is the forward battalion is in charge of Bayante, and other officials and generals of the third rank and above, are all imprisoned in Fei Fu, but now, they have seen the person who led the troops to arrest them.
"Ladies and gentlemen. You have suffered! Lao Zhibi first clenched his fists, and then bowed deeply to the cadres and others present.
"Lao Zhibian, you, what the hell are you doing here?" Ling Pu reacted first, and asked sharply at Lao Zhibian. It was this person who captured them, and perhaps, it was this person who tricked the prince into making the prince finally give up his original plan and betray them all. However, now, this man suddenly brought troops over to save them, so capricious, what did he want to do?
Do you want to...... Kill somebody to do away with a witness? Do you still use it?
"I know that your lords have some misunderstandings about Lao. However, now is not the time to explain, I can only tell you that the reason why the prince did so is actually to draw out the hole cards arranged by the emperor in the capital! After all, the emperor is not so easy to deal with, and the prince did this, in fact, it was a bitter trick to lure the snake out of the hole! Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes, Lao Zhibi hurriedly explained.
"Yes, ladies and gentlemen. The guards in the prison have long been the prince's people. Although we were locked inside, Lord Lao let us go as soon as he arrived. Those people in the Miyun camp thought that they could control the guard camp and the Nine Gate Admiral Yamen, but they didn't expect that those soldiers were ours, as long as we officials arrived, they would be able to pull out the team, and now, the capital has been controlled by our local people again. It's up to your lordships to command! The general who was following Lao Zhibi also came up and said.
"His Royal Highness the Prince's bitter plan? But isn't the crown prince with the emperor now? Even if we seize the capital, there is no way to "force" the emperor to abdicate! The Admiral of the Nine Gates, Tuo Heqi, was thoughtful, and after listening to Lao Zhi's argument and the officer's words, he quickly raised questions.
"Lord To, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fell and injured his leg on the way to Mulan and can't move. However, because the affairs of the capital could not be delayed too much, the emperor waited for the large number of people, and left a part to protect the prince, and the rest of the people had already rushed to the capital. Today, it is less than a day's journey from the capital! Lao Zhibi gritted his teeth and said with bright eyes.
"The emperor is coming back soon?" Buyazzi jumped to his feet.
"That's right. So, folks, we can't wait any longer. You must go out of the city immediately and regain control of the Fengtai camp and the Xishan Ruijian camp, what should you do, I think everyone knows it? As for the excuse, it's also very simple, that is...... Sergeant mutiny! Lao Zhibi said.
"This, this ......" The wind direction changed too quickly, and Ling Pu and the others hesitated for a while.
"Alas, Lord To, Lord Bu, you should hurry up. Now that the capital is in chaos, the nine gates have been sealed, but Ferdinand and Zhao Fengchun saw the opportunity early. We're already hiding, we have to hurry up and arrest them, otherwise, they will contact the emperor or the Miyun camp, and everything will be over! Seeing that no one moved, Lao Zhi said anxiously.
"How old is the Miyun Battalion? My Fengtai camp can beat the three of them! Have you released the generals I have captured? Tuo Heqi asked Lao Zhi argued.
"It's all gone, and I'm waiting for you to act together at the city gate!" Seeing that Tuo Heqi had the intention of making a move, Lao Zhibi hurriedly said.
"Good.
That's it! Tuoheqi smiled. got up and walked out, "There are 7,000 iron cavalry from Rehe in the Fengtai camp, plus 5,000 cavalry from our cronies, more than 10,000 people, even if the emperor sees a bad opportunity to hide back, Lao Tzu can catch up." ”
"Damn, this time I really did it! Thanks to Zhao Fengchun, the son of a bitch who was raised by Suo Xiangdi, she was born as a slave, and she dared to go against the prince! Damn, I'm going to kill him with my own hands! Qi Liang picked up the tea bowl next to him and smashed it on the ground, and ran out with a shout. Then. It's Buyazzi and Bayote and so on. Soon. In the entire back hall, only two people remained, Lao Zhibi and Ling Pu.
"Okay, scholar. We have all been deceived by you and your master! You're a great hero! "Ling Pu doesn't have the right to lead troops, so. You don't have to do anything. Seeing that Lao Zhibi was looking forward to being contented there, he couldn't help but say with a little jealousy.
"Brother Ling, what are you talking about? You've done a great job too! You have also seen it, if it weren't for the prince's quick decision, I'm afraid that all of us would have been put in prison by Ferdinand and Zhao Fengchun, where would it be possible to turn the tables? Law's argument retorted.
"That's right. …… By the way, if Ferdinand catches it, you must not let people touch him, Qi Shan will slaughter Zhao Fengchun with his own hands, and I will also cut off the skin of this old bastard with my own hands! Ling Pu rolled his eyes and said with a cruel smile.
"No, no, no. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a strict order, others can be killed, but Ferdinand must not be killed! Lao Zhibi hurriedly said.
"Why? If the old thing is not killed, will it be possible to stay and provide for it? Ling Pu exclaimed dissatisfied.
"Brother Ling, don't be impulsive. Ferdinand really deserved to be killed, but now he can't be killed. Have you forgotten about Yu Zhong? That guy is in Sichuan right now, and if we kill Ferdinand, we'll drive him crazy. When the time comes, we may have to deal with several major naval divisions in the east and hundreds of thousands of troops in the northwest at the same time! Even if those generals who lead the troops don't dare to act rashly, it is a great danger! Therefore, only by catching Ferdinand in his hands, making Yu Zhong fearful, and waiting until the crown prince's throne is secured, can we do it! Lao Zhibi explained.
"!" Ling Pu scolded fiercely, took a deep breath, and said gloomily: "Even if this old thing has a good fate, Lao Tzu will spare him first!" But, hehe, Lao Tzu let this old guy taste what life is worse than death first, this should always be okay, right? ”
“…… Whatever you want! Lao Zhibi looked at Ling Pu's expression of eagerness to choose someone, shook his head slightly, and replied.
"Hahaha, Ferdinand, you old thing, let me see, where can you hide!" Ling Pu clenched his fists and rushed out.
"The capital should be very chaotic now, right?"
Kangxi sighed slightly, looked at Yinren who was hiding on the bed and didn't dare to move.
"Huang Ama......" Yinren looked at Kangxi's not clear eyes, and only felt that the chill went straight out of his bones. …… Why? Why was he still in Chengde the day before, and today, he was secretly taken to the imperial palace by Kangxi? Could it be that Kangxi has discovered that all his plans have failed? It shouldn't be! In order to lure Kangxi into the bait, he sucked out so many "bait" at once, Ling Pu, Qi Liang, Tuoheqi, Buyaqi, Bayute, Rehe Dutong Lezabu, Uriya Sutai general Narsu, almost all the cronies who held the military power made him "betray" to Kangxi. However, why did Kangxi still pull him together?
"You are not my son. At least, my brain is not too stupid, I didn't have much hope for you, and now, I finally have a trace of thought...... Although, I'm already disappointed in you! Kangxi sat beside Yinren with his eyes closed, and a teardrop fell from the corner of his eye.
"Emperor, Emperor Ama......" Kangxi's words made Yinren almost collapse on the spot, and only two words flashed in his heart from time to time: It's over!
"According to my original meaning, I can tolerate you for a few years. However, some time ago, I suddenly thought about it. A few more years or a few less years, what's the point? Rather than making our father and son uncomfortable. It's better to cut the "mess" with a quick knife. Maybe, I can still see another one of you in my lifetime......" There was no anger on Kangxi's face, only sadness and sighing.
"The other me? You, what do you want to do? ......" Yinren looked at Kangxi blankly, he could already conclude that all his plans had been seen through by Kangxi. A sudden sense of loss and fear made him irrepressibly yell at Kangxi. If it weren't for the broken leg, he might have jumped up and fought with Kangxi.
"Child, you know that among your twenty brothers, you are the only one who hurts me the most! From your childhood to adulthood, I still remember everything. Just like that time, when you were four years old, during the Chinese New Year sacrifice, you vigorously put large white meat without salt into Tang Bin's bowl. As a result, Tang Bin's guy ate it all without pulling it...... "Kangxi still doesn't have any anger." He was just gently narrating the bits and pieces of himself and Yinren.
"Later, you grew up. Generous, merciful. Clever and talented, almost all the ministers praised you, and said that you would be a promising ruler in the future...... As a father, I am happy in my heart! ”
"But why did you change? Become selfish and greedy, cowardly, gloomy and vicious! ”,
"You have to send Ling Pu to Jiangnan every year to raise money, if, you are just to fight against Yinchu. I won't be so angry, brother, I don't blame you for this, if you want to blame, I can only blame the two bastards Suo Etu and Mingzhu. But most of the money has been spent by you. Look at those things in your Yuqing Palace...... Which one is not priceless? You still have several manors out there...... But do you need any of these? You are the prince, the future emperor, how can you be greedy for these things? ”
"You're doing it for your own selfish gain. coerced and forced the two Huai salt merchants to fight with Ma De, and as a result, they attracted the attention of the world! In the end, he killed the salt merchant surnamed An to cover up people's eyes! Don't you know? ”
"In order to make trouble for Yinzhen and Yinzhen, you provoked the matter of cleaning up the deficit. But, in the end, they retreated, and so did you. …… Dare to do it or not, is this a catty, the prince, what an emperor should do? You've made me lose face.
"There are other places, one by one...... You have done so many wrong things, how can I trust the country to you? ”
Kangxi looked at Yinren without any anger, but this indifferent expression made Yinren dare not say a word.
"This time, you didn't disappoint me. Although your purpose is to seize my throne, your actions this time can be regarded as a big deal...... Throwing out so many people at once, it led me to stay in the capital, and used myself as bait to lure me back to Beijing, and then arranged to rob and kill me halfway! As for yourself, at the cost of breaking your leg, you are hiding behind, so that because of the kind of awakening action in front of you, you will eliminate the charge of 'killing your father and seizing the throne', but because of the mutiny of the soldiers and horses in the capital, you have become the real prince of the 'expected' place! It's really a good strategy. Even if I know you best, I'm close to falling for it, you know? Kangxi recounted in a slightly excited and sad voice.
"You're laughing at me, aren't you?" Yinren glared at Kangxi and asked hatefully.
"Nope! I didn't see through it! Don't be discouraged, child, I really didn't see through, I ...... It's just a fine work! Kangxi patted Yinren's uninjured leg and said gently.
"Finesse!?"
"That's right! It's finely made! There's nothing wrong with you arranging a small work with me, among your brothers, and many ministers, and I have a small work with you, right? Kangxi asked rhetorically.
"Nope!" Yinren's hatred seemed to disappear after Kangxi's words, and after hearing these words, he just shook his head blankly.
"Alas......" Looking at Yinren's godless eyes, Kangxi sighed again, and continued: "I don't hide it from you, this meticulous work I arranged is He Zhu'er!" ”
"Ho...... He Zhu'er!? Yinren's eyes suddenly burst into a divine light, but he was depressed again in an instant.
"Are you angry?" Kangxi looked at Yinren calmly, and asked again.
"Hmph, what's there to be angry about? No matter how angry you are, can you still turn the situation around? Yinren's eyes were a little scattered, and he even laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Hahaha...... Good, good, good! Kangxi suddenly laughed and said the word "good" three times in a row, "Child, do you know? I've always been angry with you, and in the past few years, I've even started to look down on you. Because you have a bad "hair" disease, that is, you are obviously wrong, but you would rather die than admit it, and even if you admit it, you have to push it on the heads of others. Not even a man! Now, you finally know that you were wrong...... That's it! In this way, I will be at ease! ”
"Peace of mind, what kind of heart do you have?"
"If you had done these things before, I would have trapped you even if I didn't kill you, but now, if I don't plan to do this, I will banish you...... I will give you two places, one in Hokkaido and one in Luzon, you can choose one of these two places, and I will send someone to send you there! Kangxi stared at Yinren and said word by word.
