My father is Yongzheng, and I am Qianlong?

Chapter 46: The throne is passed to the fourth prince
"Whoo!"

Liang Jiugong ran out in a hurry.

Kangxi then said to Yongzheng: "Remember my words. Also, you are not young anymore. You should appoint Hongli as the crown prince as soon as possible. He is very good and has talents that you do not have. But you must remember the lesson I taught you when appointing a crown prince!"

Yongzheng nodded with tears in his eyes.

At this time, the eighth prince and other princes and grandchildren rushed in.

But the eighth, ninth and tenth brothers were slightly startled when they saw Yongzheng.

Even the third brother was stunned for a moment.

However, these people soon came to their senses, knelt in front of Kangxi, kowtowed and cried.

Hongli also knelt down from the side of the wall, next to Yinxi, and looked at Kangxi.

Kangxi said, "The third, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, twelfth, thirteenth, and Longkodo, come before me."

Then, the third, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, twelfth, thirteenth, and Longkodo all knelt in front of Kangxi's bed.

At this time, Kangxi was nearing the end of his life.

Therefore, when he turned to look at the Eighth Prince Yinsi and others, he could only say very weakly: "Listen, I pass the throne to the Fourth Prince!"

Not finished yet.

Kangxi's face suddenly shrank, then he turned his head away and said nothing more.

His hands also dropped.

The pupils suddenly dilated.

Everyone was silent for a while.

Lao Ba's expression changed immediately.

The third, ninth, tenth, Hongchun, Hongshi and others also had complicated expressions.

"Khan Ama!"

"Khanmafa!"

But not long after, the princes and grandchildren suddenly burst into tears, especially after the imperial physician confirmed that Kangxi had passed away, everyone burst into tears even louder.

But at this moment, Lao Ba shouted, "Don't cry first!"

Then, the eighth brother came close to Kangxi and asked, "Khan Ama, who did you say you would pass the throne to?"

Lao Ba then added: "Khan Ama, we didn't hear clearly!"

"Old Eight!"

Yongzheng then shouted at the Eighth Prince, "Even now, you're still unwilling to give in. It was clearly Khan Ama who said the throne would be passed to the Fourth Prince. Who among those present didn't hear that?"

Thirteenth Brother Yinxiang then said, "I heard it clearly too. It was passed on to Fourth Brother. Eighth Brother, how can you pretend you didn't hear clearly at this time?"

"Who heard it clearly?"

Lao Shi shouted loudly at this time, and then said: "Anyway, I didn't hear it clearly!"

Sixteenth Old Master Yinlu followed up, "Anyway, I heard it clearly!"

Hongli had already guessed to whom Kangxi would pass the throne, so he was not panicked.

He knew that as Yongzheng's son, if he said at this moment that he was passing the throne to the Fourth Prince, it would not be enough to convince the princes and grandchildren of the emperor who were pretending to be stupid and watching the fun and who belonged to the Japanese party, as well as the princes and ministers with banners.

Therefore, Hongli hurriedly touched Yinxi beside him with his arm and said, "Uncle Twenty-one, hurry up, peace and prosperity are just around the corner!"

"I heard it clearly too. It's the Fourth Prince!"

Yinxi stood up decisively and shouted loudly like a bell.

Hongli smiled secretly.

Yongzheng looked at Yinxi with a touched expression.

Then, Hongli crawled over to Yinli, who was ahead of him and whom he knew, and said, "Seventeenth Uncle, didn't you hear clearly?"

"Yes, it's the Fourth Prince!"

Yinli was stunned, then stood up and shouted.

Yongzheng saw Hongli's actions and gave him a look of approval.

"Yes, it's the Fourth Prince!"

"I also heard it was the Fourth Prince!"

……

Then, Princes Yinyou and Yinzhi also started shouting.

Seeing more and more princes agreeing, Hongli also stood up at this time: "Yes, it's my father!"

Then, Hongli glanced around and shouted, "Third brother, fifth brother, didn't you hear clearly?!"

Yongzheng wanted to praise Hongli immediately for not bringing shame to him!
"I heard it clearly, Fourth Brother! It's our Ama."

Hong Zhou then responded from behind, while Hong Shi was still in a daze and did not respond.

Lao Ba looked quite gloomy and said nothing.

"No, there is a four in it, but it's not the Fourth Prince, it's the Fourteenth Prince!"

At this time, the ninth prince interrupted, but because too many princes and grandchildren had already heard the opinions, he had to change his words.

"It's the Fourteenth Prince!"

The Tenth Prince replied first, then said, "I remember now, it was the Fourteenth Prince!"

"You fart!"

Yinxi, who was young and energetic and had temporarily joined the Fourth Party, lacked experience in struggle and cursed in a moment of desperation.

The somewhat naive Old Ten also followed suit and cursed: "You're the one who farted!"

"My dear brothers, please stop arguing. The late emperor has already passed down his will to me, stating that he has chosen a strong and unyielding master for us ministers. This is not just a verbal order. Laxi, the first-class guard in front of the emperor, can testify to this."

Longkodo spoke at this time.

Then, Longkodo said, "The will is behind the plaque of "Zhengda Guangming" in the Qianqing Palace."

"Please ask all the princes, grandsons, nobles and ministers to come and watch us retrieve the imperial edict. This will also allow all the empresses to come and see the late emperor."

Longkodo continued at this time.

The ninth and tenth brothers both looked at the eighth brother at this time.

At that moment, the eighth elder rolled his eyes and asked loudly, "What will? If you said there was a will, then there is a will. Did Khan Ama himself say there was a will? Where is Arsong'a, the Minister of the Imperial Guards on duty?"

"That's right, who knows if you are forging an imperial edict!"

Lao Jiu also followed suit and argued.

"Eighth Brother! Ninth Brother! What do you mean? Do you really have to do something that would be so unfair to Khan Ama and the Qing Dynasty?!"

Yongzheng then questioned the eighth and ninth brothers.

The eighth brother said irritably, "Fourth brother, I just don't believe Longkodo."

At this point, Yongzheng's tone softened. He glanced at the Eighth Brother and said in a deep voice, "Eighth Brother, I know you're unwilling to accept this, but Khan Ama has indeed chosen me as the new emperor. For the sake of the long-term stability of the Qing Dynasty, I will naturally appoint you as the head of all my brothers and ministers, in charge of government affairs. After all, who doesn't know your talent and your reputation as the Eighth Wise King?"

"Fourth brother is right!"

"Eighth Brother, I know that among the six Ministers of the Imperial Guard, four are close to you. Your tenth brother is still holding the Plain Yellow Banner, and you yourself are in charge of the Plain Blue Banner."

"But now, one of the Ministers of the Imperial Guard on duty, Marsai, is close to my fourth brother."

"Also, before Khan Ama died, he let my twelfth brother take on the concurrent post of Commander-in-Chief of the Bordered Yellow Banner. He was originally Commander-in-Chief of the Plain White Banner, and now he controls two of the three upper banners of his personal guard."

"He has now handed over the authority of the military academy that was transferred to guard Changchun Garden to me. Now the garden is full of my men, and Arsonga, who is on duty, can't command them."

"So, there's no need for you to use your own life to give Old Fourteen an excuse to start a rebellion."

"If you are willing to consider the overall situation, I will support you as the first minister of the king!"

The Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang also tried to persuade the Eighth Prince at this time.

The twelfth brother Yinluo followed with a wry smile and said, "Eighth brother, you know, I was born into a bondservant family, so I don't have any great ambitions. But Khan Ama suddenly asked me to take charge of the two banners, so I had no choice but to support Fourth brother. I don't want my brothers to really kill each other, so don't blame me."

The eighth, ninth and tenth brothers were all stunned.

"Not only that, after I took charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs last year, I learned that the current commander of the newly established City Guard Battalion, Tulichen, is Master Hongli."

"So, Brother Eight, Brother Nine, Brother Ten, what are you still holding on to?"

Old Sixteen also spoke at this time.

At this time, the Eighth Prince looked at the Third Prince, the oldest among the princes present: "What do you think, Third Brother?"

"Alas, fourth brother, or fourteenth brother, it's all the same!"

"There's no need to force the fourth brother to be Li Shimin, and there's no need to give the fourteenth brother the opportunity to repeat the old events of the Jingnan Rebellion. Our Qing Dynasty is no longer the Tang Dynasty, nor the Ming Dynasty. If we really start to kill each other, I'm afraid we won't even be able to return home."

"Old Eight, listen to the will. Everything has been arranged by Khan Ama. There is no need to resist stubbornly."

The third brother sighed helplessly.

The eighth brother looked at the seventh brother again: "Where's the seventh brother?"

"Third brother is right. It's better not to engage in violence. Let's obey the will! Khan Ama did say just now that he would pass the throne to fourth brother!"

Lao Qi replied.

"Where are the ninth and tenth brothers?"

Lao Ba continued to ask.

The Tenth Brother replied, "I'll listen to Eighth Brother! But what Thirteenth Brother and Third Brother said actually makes sense."

Lao Jiu pursed his lips and looked at Lao Ba: "Eighth Brother, you decide."
