Chapter 603: Long Wei
When Yinzhen took the brothers to Kangxi's dormitory, he didn't see those concubines, but when he saw Honghui and them, he knew that Kangxi was really awake. It's just that whether they are really out of danger or temporarily sober still needs to be verified by them in person.
When Kangxi saw Yinzhen and the other sons, he couldn't even show a trace of expression on his face, thinking that this illness really hurt Kangxi's roots. Whether it's good or not, from the perspective of Yinzhen and their sons, they naturally don't want Kangxi to go like this.
It is said that it is the most ruthless emperor's family!
In fact, as long as the benefits are properly distributed, this ruthlessness can also become affectionate, after all, this ordinary people's family can also make trouble for a little land and food, not to mention the throne that symbolizes the world.
Compared with those young and wavering princes, Yinren and their princes and brothers, who have experienced succession, obviously know better what it means to judge the situation. After all, the ambition of the past is the current thing, and many things are carved into the bone marrow, and they cannot be erased in a few words.
"Huang Ama, is you feeling better?" Yin Zhen stood closest to Kangxi and asked with a caring face.
"I ...... Much better. Kangxi looked at the children and grandchildren lined up in several rows, and felt inexplicably happy in his heart, thinking that it was the right choice for him to choose the fourth child to succeed him.
In fact, Kangxi's choice of Yinzhen to succeed him is not without his own considerations, not to mention that he looks down on his fourteenth son's style, even if he is extremely fond of the old fourteenth, it is impossible to choose him to succeed him?
Don't mention the third and fourth children, let's just say that these eight and nine and ten, who are the soft persimmons. All of them entered the court before the old fourteenth, and the power in their hands is not thin, not to mention that they are stronger than the old fourteenth in all aspects, but they are not weaker than his old fourteen. Moreover, when it comes to rankings and identities, they are still brothers, so why should they obey the orders of the old fourteen. Could it be that he chose the old fourteen?
No, of course this is impossible, even for the sake of stability, it is impossible for him to choose the old fourteen, not to mention that the old fourteen's temperament is unbearable, not to mention, and he can't tolerate people.
Kangxi finally chose Yinzhen, not only because of his ability, but also because of his maintenance of Lao Jiu and others, and because of his tolerance when he decided to lift the ban of the boss and the second child. Now it seems that he has made the right choice.
"Huang Ama, do you want to drink some water first?" Yinzhen's gaze swept over Kangxi's somewhat dry and peely lips, reached out to take the tea brought by Li Dequan, tested the temperature, and then helped the person up, and brought the tea cup to his lips, and persuaded softly.
Kangxi nodded, opened his mouth and took several sips of water, the warm water in his mouth made his dry throat sooth, and the whole person also had a trace of energy. After a long time, Yinzhen retreated, and he lay back down, his eyes swept over the children and grandchildren present, and he commanded: "I am no longer in trouble, you can do whatever you have to do! ”
If it was before, according to Kangxi's temperament, no matter what he did, it was a direct order, how could he ever use a warning tone like now. In the final analysis, Kangxi himself knows that he is already old, and the only thing he can do is a loving father, not a monarch father. After all, he is no longer the emperor on top, even if he still has a trump card in his hand, it is not the key to everything.
It is said that people are about to die, and their words are also good. At this time, Kangxi had just struggled from the line of death, not to mention how he was feeling, but his care for his son was genuine.
When Yinzhen and the others listened to Kangxi's words, they couldn't help but feel sour in their hearts. No matter what they thought in their hearts, at this time, seeing that Kangxi was even seriously ill and remembered their relationship, they all lowered their heads unconsciously.
"Huang Ama rest assured, the fourth brother is kind-hearted, and he will definitely treat Erchen and others well. Yinren looked at Kangxi's gaze at him, his eyes were slightly red, and then he took two steps forward and said.
He knew in his heart that it was not easy for them to get to this point, and if they had other thoughts, not to mention that Kangxi's current body was no longer good, even if Kangxi was healthy, it would be difficult to stop Yinzhen's decision.
"I understand the temperament of the fourth child, I am not good at words, but I value love and righteousness, I am old, even if I don't interfere in many things, I also understand, whether you are a brother or a younger brother, you have to remember that you are flesh and blood, no matter how good others say, to put it bluntly, it is just a matter of interest. I know that even if I pass this hurdle, I am afraid that I will not live long, so I don't care what happens to you in the future? At least when I live, I hope that your brothers, friends and brothers are better than anything else, I am alive and dead, no matter how much you toss, I can't care about it. Kangxi said this, and his tone also carried a hint of helplessness and gloom, obviously experiencing life and death, and his obsession also had the meaning of letting go.
"The Emperor Ama forgives sins. Seeing this, Yinzhen immediately knelt down, and when the people behind him saw this, who dared to continue standing.
However, Yinzhen did not make any more promises, and it can be seen from here that he already has an arrangement for these brothers, and this arrangement will not be changed because of Kangxi's words. In this way, Yinzhen didn't explain, but secretly showed his attitude with actions.
Kangxi looked at Yinzhen's expression, and after a moment of silence, he sighed, and finally chose to compromise, after all, this is no longer his world, and some things are no longer allowed for him to call the shots. Thinking of this, Kangxi couldn't help but say with some meaning: "Okay, let's get up!"
"Xie Huang Amma. While Yin Zhen got up, his eyes lightly swept over the brothers behind him, and the expression on his face was quite intriguing.
Originally, Yinzhen thought that when things came to this, Kangxi would definitely not keep him any longer, even if he had something in his heart, it was impossible to tell him anymore, but he didn't want them to say a few words, so Kangxi said that Yinzhen would stay, and Yinren and others would retreat. His move made everyone stunned unconsciously, after all, Kangxi's partiality is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the sudden change will make it uncomfortable for anyone.
After Yinren and the others left, Yinzhen took two steps forward, stood by the bed honestly, and waited quietly for Kangxi to speak. He thinks that he has done everything he should do, he has a clear conscience, and naturally he is not afraid of Kangxi's accountability.
Kangxi saw that Yinzhen had always been respectful, and he also sighed in his heart, he was indeed eccentric, but no matter how eccentric he was, he would still focus on the overall situation, after all, the Qing Dynasty was not easy to come by, and he couldn't let all this be ruined on his own eccentricity. If this was the case, he would not have decisively confined Yinren at the beginning, but allowed his behavior, and even handed over the throne to him.
"Li Dequan, bring the things. Kangxi's voice suddenly broke the silence.
Li Dequan, who had been waiting on the side, listened to Kangxi's instructions, and immediately stepped forward with a small rosewood box, raised his hands, and handed it to Yinzhen, waiting for him to take it.
"Huang Ama, this ......" Yinzhen was stunned, as if he didn't understand Kangxi's intentions, and didn't react at once.
"Fourth, you have been doing well in the past two years, and I have seen everything in my eyes. Truth be told, these brothers of yours may not be able to do what you do. This time, my old illness recurred, and I almost couldn't slow it down, now that I'm awake, then I'll explain everything I should explain one by one......" Before Kangxi finished speaking, he was interrupted by a cough, and when he finally eased up, seeing Yinzhen's worried face, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and wave, indicating that he was okay and continued: "This is Longwei's token, you put it away." ”
Yin Zhen looked at the rosewood box in front of him, quite at a loss, obviously he didn't expect Kangxi to hand over Long Wei to him in the end. Although Long Wei was originally handed over to the heirs by the previous dynasties, he always thought in his heart that Kangxi would give Yinren a guarantee, but now it seems that Kangxi is trying his best to be fair!
Fair!
Yinzhen smiled bitterly in his heart, behind this seemingly fair, to put it bluntly, it was still for Yinren's sake.
This thing, which originally belonged to the emperor, was in the hands of others, and the result can be imagined. However, even if Yinzhen has a pimple in his heart, he will not be embarrassed by this, after all, he still needs these brothers to help him implement the new policy together!
"Huang Ama, although the son will not reuse all the brothers, the son promises to treat them well. Yinzhen took the small rosewood box in Li Dequan's hand, and then looked at Kangxi seriously and gave him a guarantee.
Kangxi didn't speak again, just nodded, and then lay back, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't know if he was really tired, or if he got the answer he wanted, and rested with confidence.
Yin Zhen saluted Kangxi, then took the rosewood box, turned around and walked out.
Out of Changchun Garden, Yinzhen did not rush back to the palace, but returned to his Zhuangzi with Yinzhen. Seeing this, Yinzhen didn't ask much, obviously he knew in his heart that after they withdrew from Kangxi's dormitory, there must be other things happening, and this incident disturbed Yinzhen's mind, otherwise he who has always been resolute would not have such a look on his face.
As for what it is? Yin Yu only needs to use his brain a little to think of it, it is nothing more than that little power. It's just that what he didn't expect was that Kangxi's eccentricity hadn't changed in the slightest at this moment, at this moment, let alone Yinzhen, that is, he began to wonder if for Kangxi, only the second child was his son, and they were actually just here to make up the numbers.
He was a little worried that Kangxi's attitude would affect Yinzhen, and the moment he turned his head, seeing Yinzhen's thoughtful appearance, Yinzhen was suddenly a little glad that he had already let go of his attachment to Kangxi's father's love.
"Fourth brother, since some things are destined not to be obtained, then we should cherish what we have. After all, this person pays attention to fate between people, maybe our brothers don't have a father-son relationship!"
Yin Zhen listened to his words, came back to his senses, and then turned his head to look at him and said, "Ninth brother has seen it?"
"What can make the fourth brother so lonely is nothing more than Huang Ama's attitude, in fact, the younger brother and the fourth brother had similar ideas, always wanting to get Huang Ama's recognition and favor, but unfortunately Huang Ama can only see a second brother in his eyes from beginning to end. After a long time, the younger brother gave up, because in addition to Huang Ama's father, the younger brother also has a fourth, tenth, thirteenth, and wife and children. When Yinyu mentioned them, the expression on his face unconsciously softened a lot.
Yin Zhen listened to his words, lost his mind for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but show a slight smile on his face, "The ninth brother is right, there are some things that can't be forced, although Huang Ama has always been partial to the second brother, but this throne and this dragon guard were finally given to me." ”
