Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Cannons were fired one after another, and Qi Beile personally issued an order to destroy the Guihua New City built under his supervision.

It would be a lie to say he didn't feel bad, but the warning Zhong Jihai brought back and the fact that Bafujin didn't come back on time made him no longer hesitate.

Dobu stood beside him, and even though the war was spreading, his low and reliable voice was as clear as ever.

"Old Qi, you have to be prepared. If the prince is really going to kill the princes in the palace at this moment, you will be the elder brother closest to the throne."

Qibele did not answer, but gave the order to speed up the frequency of shelling.

Longkodo has never been afraid of Qi Baylor's strong attack. In his eyes, Qibele is an idiot. He will always be bullied and never know how to fight back. It wasn't until he saw with his own eyes that the gate of the new city was blasted with a large hole by artillery, and the army on the opposite side was advancing rapidly, that Longkodo felt the danger and urgently called a confidant to negotiate.

"When we go, we first ask loudly: 'Are the Seventh Master going to rebel? If there is any mistake from His Royal Highness, the Emperor, and the Queen Mother, the Seventh Master cannot bear it.' Then let him go to the armor and firearms, and proceed to the palace alone. Apologize."

The man quickly agreed, changed into heavy armor and went out of the city to negotiate. Longkoduo watched closely with his binoculars. Seeing him gradually approaching the enemy's front line on horseback, he was suddenly hit by an arrow in the face and fell off his horse. He was so angry that he broke the binoculars.

"There is no one else who can do this archery, it must be Dun Dobu. You have to go against me, right?"

Longkoduo grabbed his hair, finally came up with another idea, and hurriedly ordered his men.

"Go and bring the Eighth Prince. If he dares to kill my messenger, he can't kill the prince as well! Let the Eighth Prince deliver the message. Also, go and capture the Eighth Fortune Jin."

The people who followed Long Keduo only wanted to be prosperous and wealthy after the prince ascended the throne, and few of them were desperately defending the city. In addition, there were no heavy artillery in the palace, only some light muskets brought out for hunting. The guards could not stay on the wall for a long time to resist attacks. Longkoduo reduced his troops and planned to defend the palace to the death.

As soon as he left, Dobu and Qibele immediately occupied the commanding heights on the city wall and carefully observed the situation in the palace.

Referring to the construction drawings of the palace, Qibele looked around the courtyard anxiously, hoping to find as soon as possible the black smoke rising from the agreement with Bafujin, but unfortunately, he found nothing. The sky above the palace was clear and cloudless.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think? Should we rush in directly?"

"No, wait a minute. I believe in Bafujin. She is a ruthless character and has some abilities. She will definitely not just stay here and let Longkoduo manipulate her."

So the two sides temporarily ceased fire, and Dobu and Qibele ordered their men to refill their muskets with ammunition to prepare for the next round of attack.

On the other hand, Longkodo and the prince fell into deep internal strife.

The prince surrendered, gave up everything, and shook hands with Qibele to make peace; but Longkodo firmly disagreed, thinking that he could still try to hold on for a few more days with the hostages in his hands.

After the fierce quarrel, Longkodo made a surprise attack, knocked the prince unconscious, and found the jade seal he had defrauded from the bachelor.

"The prince doesn't want to be the emperor. There are many people who are willing to be the emperor. I won't look back anyway!"

Longkodo knew that there was not much time left for him to prepare a way out.

He has only one way to survive.

That is, nominate a prince who will definitely forgive him as the new emperor, and then obtain a pardon.

The answer is obvious.

That is, there is a joint agreement with the four Baylors.

He has already offended the others.

Longkodo rummaged through the prince's box and found an imperial edict, which originally contained the Kangxi's 'edict' passed down to the prince. Longkodo did not hesitate to tear off the original paper, imitate the format on it, and rewrite the edict. He only changed the place where the throne was passed to Sibeile's name, and then used the newly forged edict to The jade seal is stamped and glued to the imperial edict's yellow silk ribbon.

After doing all this, he began to prepare to escape and return to Beijing.

The emperor will die soon.

Longkodo wasn't trying to scare the princes. The prince gave the emperor some slow poison. He stopped drinking water yesterday and this morning, he could barely feel his pulse.

Unless Hua Tuo is alive, he cannot be saved.

It’s the time when you are so overwhelmed that you can’t think about the beginning but the end. Longkodo originally planned to kidnap the Queen Mother, and then return to Beijing ahead of everyone else, to force Sibeile to ascend the throne in the name of the Queen Mother, but it was too late.

Suddenly, dozens of fires broke out in the palace.

The black smoke billowed, making people breathless. The people around Longkodo, seeing that the momentum was wrong, ran away sparsely, with only a dozen or so remaining. He knew that he couldn't escape with just this small force, let alone an old man with weak physical strength.

Now, all we have to do is take a gamble.

Longkodo gathered his confidants in the yard and planned to make a final struggle.

"Listen, if it succeeds this time, I will guarantee that each of you will receive at least the title of Duke. If it fails, you will all be cut into pieces, implicating the nine clans. Where is the Eighth Fortune Jin?"

"Boss, she ran away! There's no one in the house!"

"what?"

Longkodo wanted to curse, but there was no time to waste, so he chose to skip this embarrassing topic quickly.

"Forget it, let's stop looking. I'll take the prince to the emperor's bedroom. You capture the queen mother, and we'll guard these three people. No one will dare to enter the house. We'll have a chance of winning until the emperor dies."

The plan had just been finalized when shouts of killing could be heard from everywhere in the palace. It must have been Qibele who rushed in with his people. Longkodo carried the prince on his back and ran wildly, finally catching up with Qibele and taking control of Kangxi's bedroom.

They closed the door tightly with their front legs, and then fired muskets from their back legs and shattered the glass windows of the dormitory. The flying fragments scratched several of Longcordo's men, making them scream in pain.

It seemed that even if the people who went to kidnap the Queen Mother succeeded, they would not be able to get in in time.

The frustrated Longkodo maintained his remaining calmness and went to check Kangxi's condition first. Seeing that he was still taking in less air and outgoing more, with a gloomy complexion, he felt a little relieved.

I just need this state, preferably a little weaker.

He was so weak that when he only had one breath left, the fake edict in his hand would not be revealed.

The rest of the blame can be placed on the prince.

Longkoduo touched the dagger in his boot, sat in front of Kangxi's bed, and looked back and forth between the unconscious prince and the seriously ill Kangxi.

Only a dead person would not speak out for himself.

As time passed, the gunfire slowly stopped, and the fierce battle outside the dormitory had obviously come to an end.

Qibele's voice sounded outside the wall.

Different from usual times, this time, he was confident.

"Longkodo! In accordance with the order of the Queen Mother, I led the troops to escort you. Those who know the truth, put down your swords and guns and come out. If Khan Amar is even slightly injured, you and the Tong family will be destroyed!"

After saying this, Qibele outside the palace paused for a moment, waiting for the answer from inside.

A long silence. The only sound that echoed inside and outside the palace was the sound of the wind blowing the leaves.

The tenth prince who had just been rescued did not bother to rest. He gritted his teeth and stood beside Qibele, urging him to take action.

"Brother Seven! Listen to my brother. At noon, Longkodo told us that Khan Ama didn't look well. Look at Thirteen, there are still tears on his face. If you don't go in, Khan Ama is still in bad luck. It’s better to take a gamble and go in and let the imperial doctor treat Ama Khan. Maybe there’s still some hope!”

Qibele's eyes passed over the brothers around him one by one, and then he directly faced Dobu to ask questions.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think? I want to ask the Queen Mother before making a decision."

Brother Ninth took advantage of the opportunity and took a step forward to encourage Qibele to enter the palace.

"Fifth Brother has gone to take care of the Queen Mother. I will send someone to ask him right now. Seventh Brother, I guarantee you with the head on my neck that the Queen Mother will definitely tell you what she will say. Everything is up to you. We can wait, but Khan Ama cannot wait." ah!"

Dobu was resting against the wall. Seeing that the situation was favorable to him, he did not continue to use verbal attacks to force Qibele.

"I also think that we have to listen to the Queen Mother's wishes. However, should we ask the imperial doctor to boil the medicine first? According to Lao Shi, if Khan Ama is in such a critical situation, there is no need to do any inquiring, just give Shengmai Powder! How many years have there been ginseng in the palace?"

One word reminded everyone, and they immediately told the imperial doctor to fry the Shengmai Powder first. After a while, the fifth elder brother came over in person, bringing a top-quality wild ginseng in the shape of a human in his hand, as well as the Queen Mother's will.

"Ma Ma is in good health, but she was a little frightened. The fifth princess is taking care of her. This ginseng was originally prepared for Ma Ma, but she found it for Khan Ama to use. Ma Ma knew what the seventh brother meant, and she said everything Do as you wish, but in everything, Khan Amma’s dragon body must come first.”

Qibele looked solemn, nodded, and ordered his men to prepare to break into the dormitory.

But at this moment, the door to the dormitory suddenly opened slowly.

Longkodo held up the yellow imperial edict in his right hand and stood proudly, showing no fear at all.

"I have ordered to quell the rebellion and have brought the traitor Yin Reng to justice on the spot. Everyone, the emperor has an edict here. Kneel down and accept it!"

The tenth prince was the first to jump up. He didn't care what Longkodo had in his hand, he just went up and grabbed it. Longko was shocked and almost lost the forged edict. Unfortunately, he only protected a small half of it, and the remaining half was torn into pieces by the tenth prince and snatched away.

"Master Ten! Do you know what this is?"

"I don't care what it is, it's not true! You killed your second brother, and you dare to use Khan Amma's name to deceive you. Do you think you are a three-year-old child?"

Here, the tenth brother grabbed Longkodo, and behind him, Qibele reacted quickly and rushed in with the imperial doctor and Shengmai Powder. Longkodo didn't expect that a stupid young man named Tenth Brother would come out to disrupt the situation. Within two or three times, he was disarmed by a group of guards, and the remaining half of the fake edict was also taken away.

Brother Ten was looking for weapons that he could find, and planned to beat Long Ke first. He turned around and saw Duobu there, and shouted loudly:

"Brother-in-law, do you have a faster knife that I can borrow? I'll cut off two pieces of his flesh first, otherwise I won't be able to get rid of this bad breath!"

Dobu did not give him his dagger, but took the edict that was torn into two pieces, put it back together, and after reading the contents with Brother Ten, he showed an inscrutable sneer.

"Old Ten, look at it. If we work hard here to save him, he can become the emperor without any effort."

Before Brother Ten could speak, Qibele stumbled out with tears on his face and called them in.

"Stop dawdling! The second brother was stabbed through the heart and can't be saved. Khan Ama drank Shengmai Powder but couldn't wake up. They are all staying inside, so you two should go quickly. I'm afraid it's too late. I really can’t see the top!”

The tenth prince entered the palace in a panic, but Duobu grabbed Qibele and refused to let him in.

"Be prepared for the worst. Go and bring all the ministers and clan members to prepare for Khan Amma's funeral. Besides, if the prince is gone, who will be the new emperor? These are all important matters! Don't just worry about it. !”

"Yes, brother-in-law is thoughtful, so let's do it!"

Qibele began to gather people to go out to deliver the message. Longkodo watched from the side. He felt that his hope of survival was getting slimmer and slimmer. Cold sweat oozed from all over his body. After his clothes were wet, his whole body was fished out of the water. Same.

Dobu saw him trembling and couldn't help but sarcastically said:

"Don't be afraid, you won't die for a while. How could I let you die so happily? No matter what, you can't live or die. When you open your mouth and beg me to kill you, Only then will I consider whether to show you mercy."

The situation was urgent, so the eunuchs who conveyed the message ran very fast. After a while, the courtyard of the dormitory was filled with gray-headed, sallow and thin-looking relatives of the emperor. They were all imprisoned by Long Ke for several days, and they were fed one meal without another.

Qi Beile finally fought his way in and regained his freedom. Before he could make up for his food and drink, he was called to prepare for the emperor's funeral. The anger in his belly was not as strong as usual. One by one, they saw Longkodo being tied up, and Dunduobu, the concubine who was responsible for guarding him next to him, clearly didn't care. He came up and kicked and punched him, and even greeted his ancestors.

Uncle Tong Guo stood far away, not daring to protect his son, lest he provoke public anger.

After about half a cup of tea, the Queen Mother came in a sedan. She got out of the sedan and supported the fifth princess's hand. She was walking tremblingly when she saw Duobu outside the palace and waved him over.

Dobu stepped forward to say hello and vaguely explained the situation.

"Ma Ma, fifth sister, the ginseng brought by fifth brother has been used by Khan Ama. It will take a while for it to take effect. Second brother, stop in the side hall."

The Queen Mother felt a twinge of pain in her heart and almost fainted. The fifth princess was too weak to hold her up, but Duobu quickly caught her with his back and asked her to go in and call for help.

"It would be terrible if Mama falls down now. Go in and ask the doctor to leave some ginseng slices for Mama to hold in her mouth."

The fifth princess cried and went to the palace to ask for help, but within a few breaths, the fifth elder brother followed her out, holding a small tea tray in his hand. He came up and gave the Queen Mother some ginseng tablets before asking someone to carefully carry them in. Healing in the temple.

Only this time did Dobu follow him into the bedroom. Seeing the princes kneeling in front of the hospital bed to pay their respects, he coughed twice on purpose, and then went to see the Queen Mother.

After a while, Brother Jiu came over with two imperial doctors to diagnose and treat the Queen Mother. When no one was paying attention, he pulled Duobu's sleeves and the two sneaked out to discuss what to do next.

Duobu first asked about how Longkodo and the prince teamed up.

"In the palace, what happened after we left? The prince is not someone who goes back on his word easily. Besides, with the princess as a hostage, he shouldn't act rashly, right?"

What Brother Ninth couldn't figure out was that he stood there with his brows furrowed.

"Brother-in-law, I am also cruel. I know for the first time that my second brother is secretly hiding behind me and is far above me. Everything that was good at first was calculated according to the calculations of the fourth sister. Khan Ama is not awake, great bachelors Every day I took the book, discussed it with my second brother, and then went to the Queen Mother to ask for an order. One day, the Fifth Princess quietly told me that the bachelors had already discussed with the Queen Mother after seeing that Khan Ama had not improved. Assist the prince to supervise the country. Isn’t it true that if he waits for another three to five years, he will be crowned the king? "

"Just like that, the prince actually rebelled?"

"Isn't it! Seven or eight days ago, when I was already asleep at night, Longkodo took the imperial edict and arrested people everywhere, saying that there were rebels in the palace who were plotting against the eldest brother. We were all tied to the second brother's house. Went into the room, and he was sitting there with his head lowered and silent. Long Ke was rambling for a long time, and he finally said, "Eldest brother has been sentenced to death by the prince."

Brother Ninth couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, as if the shadow of his eldest brother's wasted death struck him again that night. He paused for a long time before continuing in a low voice.

"Fifth brother didn't believe that the prince could be so cruel. He said that he wanted to see the person alive and the body before death. He didn't believe it until he saw it. Longko took action and beat the fifth brother indiscriminately, so he unjustly accused him of being one of the elder brothers. Yes. We only wanted the second brother to say a word, but he kept silent. Longkodo went on to say that the emperor had just woken up for a while and felt that he was not well. He left an oral message that he would be the chief minister and assist the prince to ascend the throne immediately. Of course we Unsatisfied, Lao Shi started fighting with Longkodo, and then we were all locked up."

After Duobu listened to this without saying a word, he reached into his arms and took out the things Bafujin gave him. The prince's note and Aunt Sumala's letter were all read to Brother Jiu.

"Old Jiu, what Longkodo said may not be all false. Khan Ama should have really woken up for a while and explained something. But when it came to his mouth, adding a little or removing a little, the meaning completely changed. Now. Let’s go back, Khan Ama might wake up some time.”

The princes and princesses kept watch from daybreak until late at night. Although Kangxi's eyes moved from time to time, he never fully woke up.

In the middle of the night, the Queen Mother couldn't bear it anymore and lay down to fall asleep. The tenth elder brother knelt down so hard that his knees ached. He asked the imperial doctor angrily if he could cure the disease. The doctor was frightened and reported the condition again.

"Master Ten, there are thousands of poisons in the world, and I don't know which one the emperor is among them. I should have thought of a way to let the emperor spit out the poison first, but judging from the pulse, the emperor cannot bear such a torment..."

Dobu also followed the princes and knelt quietly beside the bed to perform his filial piety. He suddenly interrupted and stopped the tenth prince from questioning.

"It doesn't matter, let's just wait here. Don't be too lazy to go away until Khan Ama wakes up. Anyway, I won't go anywhere, I'll just keep watching here. However, there is one thing, isn't it early? Are you planning well? In case Khan Amma doesn’t leave a word, who will leave the country and the country to?"

This is a sensitive topic that all princes want to ask, but never dare to mention.

Especially Brother Ba, when he heard Duobu's words, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

In the spotlight of everyone, Dobu continued to speak loudly so that he could be heard outside the room.

"I have an idea, let's talk about it. Now there are several academicians, family members, and Mongolian princes. Why don't you please discuss it and recommend a candidate? Wake up, Khan Amma, let's put this When the candidates are submitted, even if Khan Amma is speechless, he can just nod and shake his head, which is better than being anxious."

The eldest elder brother and the prince are not here, so the third elder brother is the eldest brother. Everyone is waiting for him to express his position. The third elder brother was not a bold person to begin with, he could only tell the Queen Mother's wishes.

The Queen Mother has never been interested in government affairs. She once boldly supported the Prince, but in the end the trouble was almost impossible to end. This time she was even more afraid to make a decision. In the end, we invited three bachelors and several princes to come in and talk among themselves, before they decided to try Duobu's suggestion. The courtyard soon started to have heated discussions.

Mongolian, Manchu, and Chinese were so intertwined that no one in the room could make out a complete sentence.

The princes pretended not to care on the surface, but in fact they were all listening with open ears. Only Duobu was calm and relaxed, seizing the time and closing his eyes to rest.

He was sure that Kangxi, who was lying on the bed now, would immediately open his eyes as soon as he left, and then convey to the princes his intention to kill the couple.

Why did Longkodo dare to ask the prince for the fourth princess? Because the fourth princess was abandoned by the emperor, it was even very possible that Longkodo had to execute her.

Maybe in the eyes of the prince, giving the fourth princess to Longkodo was at least better than killing the sister, so he agreed.

Dobu silently made a simple and rough final plan in his heart.

If Kangxi wanted to quarrel, he would use real swords and spears.

He can kill all the sleepy princes in the room with a dagger. In the palace, half of the soldiers and horses were under his command. At worst, he would have to fight another war and become the emperor himself.

Kangxi probably had grasped the situation, so he was pretending to be asleep and waiting for the best time to wake up.

OK, then just keep pretending.

Just consume it.

Time was on his side.

Sooner or later, Kangxi would run out of money. Whichever prince ascended the throne, the situation would be favorable to the couple.

Regarding the discussion on the selection of the new emperor, the ministers continued from dusk to dawn. Finally, Zhang Yushu, a great scholar, entered the palace as a representative and conveyed the results to the queen mother and princes.

"My ministers and others have decided that the Eighth Prince has outstanding character, talents and virtues, and should be chosen as the heir apparent."

Except for the unwilling third elder brother, and the fifth elder brother who spoke several times but kept silent, there was no one in the palace who objected, especially the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother, who sang and praised everyone for their good vision.

Of course, the eighth prince was extremely happy. He tried his best to hide his joy and refused to show his joy. He even held his two younger brothers who were usually close to each other to prevent them from talking nonsense. The Queen Mother knew that the fifth elder brother did not usually make friends with ministers, was not popular, and had limited talents, so she just sighed twice and expressed her agreement.

"Since you smart people who are studying have come up with this, then so be it. The Ai family doesn't quite understand. But for such a big matter, the emperor must personally agree to it, otherwise it will always be meaningless. What do brothers say? ?”

The princes agreed in unison, but Duobu remained kneeling motionless in this high atmosphere, his eyes never moving from Kangxi's body for a second.

"Then it's settled. When Khan Amma wakes up, he will ask for the crown prince for the eighth brother. If Khan Amma doesn't wake up, eighth brother will take care of the government first."

Ba Age looked at Duobu eagerly, his eyes full of gratitude and excitement. But Duobu completely ignored his gaze and still looked at Kangxi on the bed.

Wake up.

Like an emperor, duel me openly.

Then I will respect you like a great sweat on the grassland and use my best ability to fight with you.

"Badi, look, did Khan Amma's finger move?"

Duobu's reminder stimulated all the men, women, and children present. Zhang Yushu temporarily forgot his identity, moved to the position closest to the emperor, and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty! The inheritance of the throne is of great importance. Please give me your wise words and appoint a heir apparent, so that I can feel at ease!"

Kangxi, who had taken Shengmai Powder, had indeed been awake for a while.

Just as Duobu guessed, he wanted to ensure that he could get rid of the fourth princess and his wife at the end of his life. This would at least ensure that the new emperor would not be ignored by the fourth princess and Mongolia.

However, through Duobu's operation, Ba Age was pushed to the alternative position of prince, and he had to wake up.

No matter who becomes the emperor, at least it cannot be the person Duobu wants.

Kangxi struggled to open his eyes and saw that Zhang Yushu was there. He hooked his hand and motioned for Zhang Yushu to move forward.

Due to the influence of the poison, Kangxi was still speechless. He first held Zhang Yushu's right hand tightly, and then wrote the word "four" in his palm with his index finger.

Zhang Yushu immediately loudly confirmed to Kangxi.

"Four, the emperor wrote the word "four" on the minister's hand. Does he prefer Si Baile as the heir apparent?"

Kangxi lay on the pillow and nodded laboriously. Zhang Yushu was at a loss for a while and didn't even know what to do. On the Eighth Prince's side, in just a few words, he went from extremely happy to extremely sad, with a mixture of hot and cold, and his heart was tense. He was kneeling upright, but he suddenly fainted to the side. The tenth elder brother tried his best to support him, pressed his thumb on the eighth elder brother's center, and called the imperial doctor to come over and help.

"What do you do with your salary? Also, Zhang Yushu, are you mistaken? The fourth brother is not here, how can Khan Ama let him succeed?"

Zhang Yushu didn't dare to talk back, but Duobu smiled brightly at Brother Ten, who was stunned. Duo Bu found paper and pen and gave them to Zhang Yu for writing.

"Master Zhang, what you say is unfounded. Although we all saw Khan Amma nodding, no one outside saw it. Why not write an edict, and Khan Amma passed it on to the fourth brother. Use it in front of Khan Amma The seal is a certificate after all."

Zhang Yushu was so grateful that he immediately lay down on the ground and started writing.

Brother Ninth looked at Duobu seriously for a while, convinced that he still had a plan to make Brother Eight succeed to the throne smoothly, so he did not jump out to cause trouble.

This strange calm and Duobu's unusually enthusiastic attitude made Kangxi very uneasy.

He chose Si Beile because he was very independent, capable, and had a tense relationship with the fourth princess. If he ascends the throne in the future, he will never be led by the fourth princess.

Dobu clearly knew this, so why did he actively remind Zhang Yushu to write the decision on the succession into an edict?

Kangxi quickly thought about his sons in his mind.

It's a pity that although he has more than ten sons, if he wants to find one who doesn't have a good relationship with the fourth princess and can take up the responsibility of the country, there is really no one else but Sibeile!

Kangxi opened his eyes again anxiously, and what immediately caught his eye was Duobu's proud eyebrows. He vaguely realized that he seemed to have fallen into a trap, and waved to Zhang Yushu again.

This time, it was Duobu who reminded Zhang Yushu, who was immersed in writing edicts.

"Master Zhang, Khan Ama is calling you!"

Zhang Yushu just happened to finish writing the edict, and excitedly showed it to Kangxi on the bed to read.

"Your Majesty, I didn't dare to write too long. I don't know Manchu or Mongolian. How about inviting some prince to come in and help me write it?"

Kangxi pushed aside the drafted edict with force and took Zhang Yushu's hand again.

This time, he wrote the character "eight".

Zhang Yushu was confused for a moment. He didn't know which one was right, so he asked tremblingly:

"The emperor wrote eight again, does he mean the eighth prince?"

This question caused another explosion in the room.

Brother Ten could hardly hold back his words, so he spoke out everything that was on everyone's mind.

"Khan Ama is still not fully recovered, her mind is not clear. Now four, now eight, wait a little longer, thirteen will pop out! Forget it, it's still myna!"

Dobu looked at the doctors and gave a generous hint.

"It's best if Khan Ama can speak, so there won't be any misunderstanding. You don't have any idea, how about treating Khan Ama's throat?"

The imperial doctors quickly started to discuss the prescription. The ninth prince rolled his eyes and pushed the eighth prince in the back, suggesting that he should seize the last chance and perform more filial piety in front of Khan Ama to gain favor.

Brother Ba understood what he meant and brought a bowl of sweet Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup. He blew it carefully to warm it up and brought it to Kangxi's mouth.

"Khan Ama, please use some sweet soup. I heard from my subordinates that my second brother won't give you water. This is moist and nourishing."

Kangxi was not in a hurry to drink. When he saw a blood mark on the eighth prince's face, he traced his face with his fingers and asked him what happened. The eighth elder brother wanted to find an excuse, but the fifth elder brother went straight to his thoughts and spoke the truth without thinking too much.

"Khan Ama, this is what my younger brother and sister scratched with their nails. The eighth brother was kind-hearted and wanted to persuade her to leave here to avoid getting into trouble. She is very powerful. She came up and gave the eighth brother a slap first, but also on the face. The eighth brother is the prince. I have no problem, I am indeed not as good as him. But how can my brother and sister be a crown princess or a queen with their wild looks?"

"well said!"

Bafujin suddenly appeared in the dormitory, embarrassing the fifth elder brother who complained.

But she didn't quarrel with the fifth elder brother, she just walked steadily to Kangxi's bed and knelt down lightly.

"Khan Ama, my daughter-in-law calls you one last time. Today, the eighth master said that he is going to divorce me. Although Guo Luoluo Yuluo is not a princess or a princess, she is still a princess from Prince An's palace. I have told you to divorce my wife. It's really shameless to linger on and bring shame to my parents' family. I'm going to leave now. The emperor has given me the order and I'm going back to my home."

Kangxi looked at Ba Fujin coldly.

She didn't even comb her hair, which was in a loose bun. Not to mention the black mud marks on her clothes, and her fingernails were full of dust. Even a rough palace maid could be cleaner than her. On her small and delicate face, she has facial features that are very similar to those of the fourth princess.

Everything about her made Kangxi feel extremely disgusted.

The angry expression of Khan Amma was all too familiar to Ba Age, who was so anxious that he spoke in defense of Ba Fu Jin.

"No, I didn't want to divorce my wife, but I said a few words in anger. The wound is not deep. It will be healed in two days and will not leave any marks. Khan Ama, Yu'er is smarter than me. What the hell, She can learn it as soon as she learns it, but she just doesn't put much effort into it, and her body isn't very strong..."

As soon as these words came out, even the tenth prince could tell that something was wrong.

There has been no good news since the last time Bafu Jin was 'aborted'. The choice of the mother of a country requires heirs but not heirs, and women's virtues but not women's virtues, which seriously hindered the Eighth Prince.

What disgusted Kangxi the most was the eighth prince's attitude towards protecting her.

This woman has deviated from all the rules of being a woman, and the eighth prince still loves her so much, which is undoubtedly a hidden danger to the future emperor.

The imperial doctor brought medicine to treat his throat. Kangxi drank it all in one gulp. Of course, he could not regain his voice immediately, but he gestured to Zhang Yushu to write. Zhang Yushu quickly handed over paper and pen with both hands. Kangxi controlled the pen as much as possible and wrote eight words. Character.

"divorce your wife, and I will make you the crown prince."

The ninth elder brother saw clearly from behind and was so anxious that he repeatedly pulled the eighth elder brother's sleeve, urging him to agree quickly. The eighth prince was dumbfounded and could only stare at these eight words. In the end, it was Ba Fujin who pulled her husband's face hard and forced him to look directly at him.

"I'm not destined to be a queen, so don't force it. Let me go and let's all take it easy, okay?"

In front of the palace, when the cool jade color appeared in front of his eyes, Ba Fujin reconciled with himself.

At the critical moment of life and death, he still thought deeply about leaving his best appearance to her.

In fact, like everyone with eyes, she likes to see him wearing bright colors. The jade color will only make him look paler and weaker.

But she said so, saying that she liked to see him wearing jade, so Ba Age just followed her and never let the red or green get on him again.

Their marriage started from his lies and was maintained by her lies. Their most sincere love never intersected and always passed by each other.

She had long since stopped loving, and her hatred had been resolved.

Finally, I can feel relieved and don’t have to dwell on it anymore.

How natural it is for conditions to arise and perish.

The eighth prince didn't answer, he couldn't move at all. Bafujin took those eight words and walked out without any nostalgia.

The eighth prince did not catch up with him, and the only person who saw him out was Duobu, who was in awe.

"Back then, I advised the fourth princess not to help you stay in the palace. The eighth prince is not worthy of you. Look, after going round and round, this is the ending."

Bafujin took off the jade ring from his hand and gave it to Duobu for safekeeping.

"I don't know if I should return this to the Crown Princess. Maybe it would be good to bury it with the Crown Prince. I escaped from Longkodo's room and as you said, I found the imperial guard Ce Leng to help, but he must I dared to set fire only after the prince ordered me to do so. I asked Celeng to show the ring to the prince. He immediately relented and begged me not to hurt the prince no matter what... Longkodo actually dared to kill him. , I really didn’t expect it...I didn’t mean it..."

Bafujin, who had been tortured for a whole day and night, finally cried happily because of the prince's death.

"He is such a good man. Why can't I meet such a man? The best ten years have been given to that heartless man. You can't have your cake and eat it too. If he is serious, don't want me." If you divorce your wife, divorce your wife. I don’t care about him. It’s just that he is not worthy of the fourth princess. It was me who proposed the eighth prince to be the emperor. If he goes back on his word, what will happen next..."

"There is nothing difficult to do. You broke into the palace and set fire to it, and you have already done a great job. I will do the rest."

Duobu escorted Bafujin to the entrance of the courtyard, clapped his hands gently, and called Balzhong who was guarding nearby to come over.

"Later, you send Gege out and deliver it to Zhong Jihai. Have all the people on the right guard been sent away?"

"Yes, according to the wishes of the Great Khan, he sent them all back in the name of Master Qi. At this moment, our people are guarding both inside and outside the palace. The artillery is left behind and there is enough gunpowder. What I told them is that tomorrow Let us send him there. Longkodo, we also took him out and escorted him to Zhangjiakou on the pretext that he wanted to be imprisoned in another place."

"Very good. If I don't bring out the people here, then there's no need to keep them. You guys should bury gunpowder around them first. I've been out for a short while, and the Emperor may have recovered his voice or used the ability to write. Tell them how to kill me."

Balzhong didn't react too much. He just handed Dobu two loaded muskets, arranged the task of planting explosives, and then selected thirty elites and gathered at the entrance of the courtyard.

"If something goes wrong, I'll rush in and save the Great Khan. Although, the Great Khan shouldn't need me to save him."

Dobu took the gun, hung it on his waist, covered it with his robe, and returned to the dormitory alone.

Zhang Yushu happened to be walking across from him and bowed respectfully to say hello.

"It was inconvenient to express my gratitude to my consort in front of the emperor just now. If my consort had not spoken out several times to remind me, I would have almost delayed the important event."

"Where? When we get back to the capital, we'll have a date with the bachelor for a drink."

Duo Bu calmly observed Zhang Yushu's reaction and saw nothing strange.

However, it is also possible that he is good at this, so he pretends to be like it.

"Khan Amma said that he is located in the eighth brother. Has the edict been written?"

"Oh, it's just been written! I just took it out and found a prince who can write full Mongolian characters... That's right, do you want to write it? You naturally know Mongolian characters, how about Manchu characters?"

"I can write it, but it's about the throne, so I'd better find someone who is proficient in Manchu. I'll help write it in Mongolian."

"What I said makes sense."

Zhang Yushu quickly found Prince Jian Yabu, who had come with him and was in charge of the family affairs, to come over and help write the paper. The three people discussed the content of the edict together and wrote it in duplicate, both with Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese characters on it. They circulated it to everyone in the courtyard. Only then did Zhang Yushu solemnly hold the edict and re-enter the palace, preparing to invite the emperor. print.

Dobu followed him, holding his hands on his waist seemingly casually.

At any time, be ready to draw your gun.

To die stupidly, once is enough.

In this life, he will stand side by side on the top of the Forbidden City with his beloved Feng'er, living happily and growing old together.

Personal notes:

1. Divorce in the royal family is rare but not unheard of. After Yongzheng came to power, he ordered the eighth prince to divorce his wife, but the eighth prince did not resist. The specific plot is basically used in popular Qing palace dramas, such as Gong Suo Xin Jade and Bu Bu Jing Xin.

2. Prince Jian Yabu is the concubine of Princess Duanmin. After Princess Duanmin’s brother died in infancy, Yabu inherited the title of king. Princess Duan Min is a person who attaches great importance to the concept of concubine. She has a very bad relationship with Yabu. To put it bluntly, she looks down on him. One piece of evidence is that after Yabu's death, his sons did not dare to marry Princess Duanmin (although the generation difference was nothing in the early Qing Dynasty), they specifically requested Kangxi to avoid this son-in-law candidate. .
