My father is Yongzheng, and I am Qianlong?

Chapter 34: Eunuchs Executed with a Cane
When Kangxi saw Hongli put the golden rabbit in such a conspicuous place, his calm and serious face immediately softened a lot.

Yan Jin, who was following behind Kangxi, suppressed the smile hidden in his facial muscles at this moment.

At this time, Hongli also put down the book and saluted Kangxi.

"Who gave you this rabbit?"

After Hongli finished his greetings, Kangxi pulled him aside and asked a question with a smile.

At this time, Hongli glanced at Yan Jin who was following behind Kangxi.

It was so late, and Kangxi suddenly came to see him, and he quickly noticed the golden rabbit. It was hard not to suspect that someone had whispered something in Kangxi's ear.

Hongli's lightning-fast gaze made Yan Jin even more horrified.

He never imagined that one day, an eleven-year-old child would make him so scared.

Hongli then replied to Kangxi, "It was given by Lord Wang."

After saying this, Hongli glanced at Kangxi.

He noticed that Kangxi frowned slightly, and then his brows relaxed.

It is obvious that Kangxi did not like to hear anything about "Wang Fan" and did not want any large force to support the old prince.

Now, seeing that he was so frank, Kangxi would naturally know that he had no intention of supporting the old prince's party, and would then confirm that Yongzheng was no longer supporting the old prince behind the scenes.

So, after frowning slightly, Kangxi relaxed his brows.

In his later years, Kangxi certainly needed family happiness, but he was also very suspicious, especially towards the old prince's party.

In Hongli's view, the old prince's party might have mobilized troops and touched Kangxi's reverse scale. Otherwise, Kangxi would not have been willing to slap himself in the face twice to depose the prince again.

During the celebration of the 60th anniversary of Emperor Kangxi's reign, Grand Secretary Wang Fan and other old prince cliques were severely criticized by Emperor Kangxi in a handwritten edict for "advocating the establishment of a crown prince and wanting to release the second prince."

Kangxi even scolded Wang Xijue, Wang Fan's ancestor, and attributed the responsibility for the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the responsibility for the lack of officials to collect Chongzhen's body after he hanged himself to Wang Xijue's strong request to establish Taichang. He also said that Wang Xijue's coffin should be opened and his body whipped.

What Kangxi implied was that Wang Xian also wanted to follow Wang Xijue's example and destroy the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, Kangxi was very wary of the fact that Wang Xun and other old prince cliques still had evil intentions.

When he learned that Wang Xun had also given gifts to Hongli, he became very upset.

He was willing to see Hongli use Hongxi, but he was unwilling to see Hongli being conquered by Hongxi and becoming a supporter of the old prince's party!
But now, Hongli chose to tell the truth, and even deliberately put Wang Xian's gift in the open without hiding it.

His suspicion was greatly reduced.

"What a great Wang Xian, he actually reached out to me!"

At this time, Kangxi just said something in a feigned anger.

But Hongli knew that Kangxi was pretending.

Kangxi, who was very familiar with the struggle for the foundation of the country during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, could not have guessed that a powerful family in the south of the Yangtze River like Wang Fan would not extend his hand to the palace.

Now, Kangxi pretended to be shocked and angry just to continue to observe him.

really!

As Hongli expected, Kangxi smiled and asked Hongli: "Hongli, tell me, what do you think should be done with Wang Fan?"

"My grandson believes that Khan Mafa does not need to deal with it personally, but should leave it to future generations to deal with."

Hongli knew what happened to Wang Fan in history, and he also knew that no matter how excessive Wang Fan was, Kangxi could not bear to be cruel to him, and even felt a little guilty about it. He needed to keep him to paralyze others, so he answered like this.

Kangxi smiled and cast an increasingly admiring gaze: "Why should we leave it to future generations to deal with?"

Hongli suddenly remembered Kangxi's previous criticism of Wang Xijue, so he stared at Kangxi and said calmly: "Because Khan Mafa is not the Wanli of the Ming Dynasty."

Kangxi pondered for a moment and tugged at the collar of his jacket.

Yan Jin, who was standing next to Kangxi, lost all color in his face and trembled all over.

After a while, Kangxi suddenly slammed the table and stood up: "That's right, I am not the Wanli of the Ming Dynasty!"

"I don't need to be afraid of meeting him, Wang Fan!"

"Hongli!"

Kangxi then patted Hongli on the shoulder and said, "You said it very well!"

"It's late, go to sleep."

"Khanmafa has gone back."

After saying this, Kangxi walked out.

Hongli bowed and said goodbye, then asked, "What about the golden rabbit?" "Keep it."

"Just ask your father to thank him in the future!"

Kangxi said this very simply and stepped out of the door.

Hongli smiled.

He felt that Kangxi's last words were very meaningful.

At the same time, Hongli also gave Yan Jin a cold look, his forehead already sweating.

After Kangxi returned to Qingxi Book House, his face suddenly darkened: "Someone come!"

"Your Majesty, spare my life!"

Yan Jin hurriedly knelt down, his whole body trembling.

Kangxi walked straight into the house and said, "You have been with me for some time. You should know that once you say something that alienates the royal family, you will either rise to prominence or perish because of it."

Bang!
"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me. I will never dare to do that again."

Yan Jin kowtowed and begged for the truth.

At this time, Liang Jiugong had already walked in.

Seeing this, Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Beat him to death!"

Yan Jin was speechless on the spot.

"Whoo!"

Liang Jiugong quickly agreed.

Then, Liang Jiugong called two guards and dragged Yan Jin out.

Yan Jin's mouth was blocked at this time, and he could only struggle desperately and make whimpering sounds.

Hongli stood outside Guanlan Pavilion and saw this scene.

There was a smile on Hongli's lips.

He knew that as long as he made Wang Fan's gift known to Kangxi, and let him know that he and the fourth brother Yongzheng behind him no longer supported the prince, Kangxi would not let go of the villain who took the opportunity to complain about him in front of him.

After Yan Jin was tied to the spring stool, Liang Jiugong walked up to him and said with a smile, "Old Yan, if you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck. You never thought that the Fourth Prince of Prince Yong's Mansion would place the golden rabbit on the table, and guessed that His Majesty would not do anything to Lord Wang, and then answered the question that hit the heart of His Majesty."

Yan Jin wanted to speak very much, but because his mouth was blocked, he couldn't speak and could only squeeze out a lot of tears.

Liang Jiugong then waved his hand and said, "Beat him to death!"

Not long after, Yan Jin collapsed on the spot because his spine was broken.

After checking his breath, Liang Jiugong said, "Cremate him. Report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs that Deputy Chief Steward Yan Jin died suddenly!"

"Whoo!"

After Liang Jiugong said this, he walked towards Qingxi Book House, ready to report to Kangxi.

But he took a detour and came from the direction of Guanlan Pavilion.

"Master Liang."

Suddenly, when Liang Jiugong just walked to the woods around Guanlanxie, Hongli's voice appeared in Liang Jiugong's ears.

Liang Jiugong couldn't help but shudder, and looked around, and saw Hongli sitting on a bluestone.

Senior eunuchs in the Qing Dynasty were often respectfully addressed as "Lao Ye".

Because Liang Jiugong was the highest-ranking eunuch around Kangxi, Hongli also called him "Master Liang" to give him enough face.

But Liang Jiugong didn't dare to accept this honor.

Because he knew that the young lady in front of him was someone who could make Kangxi kill her with just one or two actions or a few words.

So, he hurriedly bent his waist more curved than the crescent moon beside the lake and said: "I am not worthy of being called that by your Highness. You are insulting me. From now on, please call me by my name."

"Just because you knew to take a detour this way tonight, it's worth it for me to call you that."

"Tell me, who does Yan Jin belong to?"

Hongli asked.
