Chapter 990: Brothers fight, father and son kill each other

At least on the surface, when those Annam royal families and nobles saw the sea ships of the Qing Dynasty, they even respected them in their hearts.

After a month's stay, the researchers drew maps, and officials recorded the local situation, and even painted, leaving behind the scene and various materials at that time.

Passing through the Strait of Malacca, when you arrive at a country, you will stay for a period of time, establish relations, and achieve mutual trust in stages.

Some small countries admired the might of the Qing Dynasty, and their ships were strong and their guns were sharp, and they did not dare to resist. However, in some places, they did not measure their own strength, tried to attack, and even robbed ships, and were severely taught a lesson.

Shen Bingzhu explained that there were still many places along the way, and the ammunition was saved, which made the people below a little more restrained.

Traveling west along the coastline of India, to Africa, from Africa around the Atlantic, to the Americas, from the Americas to Australia, and so on, all the situation in various places, new routes, are recorded.

In addition, they also submitted their credentials to these sovereign countries, and welcomed them to do business in the Qing Dynasty.

In the vast sea, there are also extreme weather and storms, but they overcome them one by one and are lucky to escape.

In Australia, because the coal on the ship ran out, Shen Bingzhu directly grabbed a mine, filled it with energy and supplies, and drew a map to collect the local situation, and after half a year, he was ready to leave. But it happened that Liu Yiyi was pregnant again, so she first adjusted her body and waited until she was a little older to start her journey.

They set out from the spring of the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, and they were away for seven years, and they came back in the fifty-fourth year of Kangxi.

Let's say that the seventh elder brother and the seventh blessing jin left the capital with twelve sea ships, went all the way south, and visited foreign countries, which caused a discussion in the capital, and was soon replaced by other new things.

Concubine Cheng is very cautious and restrains the seventeenth elder brother, even if the seventeenth elder brother goes out, she will follow the tenth elder brother and study at the Institute of Technology. Even so, he almost had an accident later.

In the summer, Kangxi took the courtiers and princes to the Mulan paddock again. Concubine Cheng did not follow her because she was unwell, and at the same time left the seventeenth elder brother to serve the sick, and then did not let the seventeenth elder brother pass.

Sure enough, it is not surprising that the struggle for power and profit has reached an unimaginable level.

On the way to Kangxi's patrol outside the Saiwai, the eldest brother Yinyu reported that the prince was violent and unkind, and from high-ranking officials to soldiers, "he was rarely poisoned"; withholding Mongol tribute; Indulge subordinates in extortion, etc.

After Kangxi's investigation, there was indeed something going on, and he was very disappointed in the prince and reprimanded him. The prince is the prince, and if he has the bearing of the prince, how can he do such a thing as a rooster and a dog? The prince admitted his mistake with a good attitude, Kangxi forgave the prince for the time being, and warned him not to do this in the future.

Originally, this matter could be turned into a small matter, but Kangxi's favorite underage eighteenth son, Yinxuan, suffered from a sudden illness.

Kangxi, as a father, was very anxious, but he saw that the prince, who was his brother, was indifferent. This indifference reminded Kangxi of an incident that had been haunted many years ago.

Kangxi couldn't sleep at night, and Li Dequan was always guarding the side.

Kangxi said leisurely: "Li Dequan, I feel very sad to see that the prince is indifferent to his young brother. This is a brother, little eighteen is dying······"

When Li Dequan heard this, he slandered in his heart, hey, don't say that it is not a mother's birth, it is a mother's birth, the fourth and the fourteenth are incompatible, even to the point that water and fire are incompatible.

However, Li Dequan couldn't say this.

Li Dequan said respectfully: "Long live Lord, take care of your body." ”

Kangxi also knew that Li Dequan was duty, and he would not say anything that should not be said, so he sighed again, closed his eyes, and even if he couldn't sleep, he could rest for a while.

In Kangxi's mind, he remembered that on the eve of the Battle of Ulan Butong that year, he fell ill on the way out of the fortress, so the crown prince and the third son of the emperor galloped forward to meet him. When the prince went to the palace and saw his sick face, he did not look sad at all.

At that time, his illness was very serious, and he was very eager to get the attention of his sons, but the prince did not look sad. No loving-kindness?

More than 20 years have passed, and Kangxi feels uncomfortable every time he thinks about it.

This time, Kangxi angrily blamed the prince, but he didn't expect the prince to talk back to his father arrogantly. On the way back to Beijing, Kangxi found that the prince was approaching his tent at night and peeking inside through the gap, and immediately suspected that the prince might be "rebellious".

Kangxi was so disappointed that he was furious, Yinren was detained in Xian'an Palace for his crimes, and let the eldest brother take care of him, and abolished the prince.

However, the abolition of the crown prince did not stop the princes from fighting. The eldest elder brother and the eighth elder brother competed for the throne, and the contradictions between the sons intensified. Kangxi also saw that the other princes either formed a party or had their own thoughts, which was not more reassuring than the crown prince, but made Kangxi more worried that these princes would rebel and rebel.

The prince was deposed, unusual, acted insanely, and was suspected of being possessed by a ghost.

The prince was raised by Kangxi, and he personally enlightened him, and he had high hopes for the prince, and he was distressed. Now seeing the prince like this, Emperor Kangxi wept bitterly, slept restlessly, was sad in nightmares and memories, and finally fell ill.

Finally, three months later, after the courtiers recommended it again, the crown prince Yinren was reinstated.

After the restoration of the crown prince, Kangxi often summoned Yinren, and every time he was summoned, he felt comfortable once. Kangxi was a little more tolerant of the crown prince and the prince.

Because of the death of several children in the early years, Kangxi cherished and felt very distressed for his surviving son. As a father, I don't want to see brothers fighting each other and fathers and sons cannibalizing.

Kangxi also promoted the princes to princes, county princes, and Baylor, etc., in an attempt to promote the unity between the crown prince and the princes and alleviate the contradictions between them, but the original contradictions between the princes were not resolved.

Kangxi looked at his young and strong son, and he was envious in his heart, but his body was getting older day by day, making his greed for power stronger and stronger.

When Kangxi learned that "the crown prince was planning to force his father to abdicate as soon as possible", he was conflicted, hesitated and panicked, and finally Kangxi had to decide to abolish the prince after weighing it.

After four years, in the fifty-first year of Kangxi, on the day Kangxi returned to Beijing from his inspection of Saiwai, he announced that he would abolish the prince again. The third elder brother reported the eldest elder brother to the town of Yinren. The eldest son of the emperor had an affair with a man who knew witchcraft (the Mongol lama Bahangelung).

Kangxi was furious, and after investigation, he found that Yinren used witchcraft to suppress Yinren, conspired to assassinate his brother, and had physical evidence.

Such a crime is a capital crime, but Concubine Hui was desperate and asked to play it, and said to Emperor Kangxi that Yinhe was not filial, please correct the law. Tiger poison does not eat children, and Kangxi can't bear to kill his own son, so he will be imprisoned for life.

The crown prince was deposed, the eldest elder brother was imprisoned, and the remaining eighth elder brother jumped up and down, and actually gathered most of the courtiers to ask for the eighth elder brother to be appointed as the crown prince.
