The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 222 Refuting the Emperor’s Father and Brother’s Recounting the Past (1)
"If he really doesn't have ambitions, what's going on with the forces under his hands? Girl Yu, you never told me about this." Kangxi stared at Daiyu and said.Daiyu smiled calmly and said, "Why should I report this to Huang Ama? Without Huang Ama's order, I have never checked the influence of other elder brothers, right? It can't be because I am close to fourth brother and he doesn't like me. Wouldn't it be unfair to him to deliberately hide it from me?" Everyone knew that several outstanding princes secretly had their own powers, but Kangxi had been pampering Daiyu so naturally he didn't know it.

Kangxi smiled and didn't dwell on this issue.It is extremely difficult to control the scale of things in the royal family, not to mention that Daiyu and Yinzhen are husband and wife.Kangxi felt satisfied with what the two of them had done these years.

"I still say the same thing as before, the Xilinjueluo family is not allowed to intervene in Yinzhen's power, do you understand?" Kangxi said.Daiyu frowned in displeasure, and only heard Kangxi continue: "I'm not young anymore. The Lin family has been loyal to the royal family for generations, and I believe you will still not let me down. But... if the fourth child can't do it on his own, One step up, then it can only prove that he is not qualified to take over the Xilinjueluo clan and the Anbu forces. I will definitely not want a trash to be the future master of the Qing Dynasty." Hearing the word trash, a trace of anger flashed in Daiyu's eyes, He snorted lightly and said, "Since that's the case, I hope Huang Ama won't regret it in the future!" Kangxi may have done nothing wrong for the sake of the inheritance of the Qing Dynasty, but instigating a fight among the princes with one hand is not a good thing for his father. There is no doubt that Kangxi is completely unqualified for this role.

Hearing the same words that Rulin Ruhai said to him back then, Kangxi could only smile wryly in his heart.So what if I regret it?There are some things that cannot be avoided with regret. As an emperor, he must choose a qualified master for the future Qing Dynasty in his lifetime.For this, he will do whatever it takes.Seeing Kangxi's expression, Daiyu sighed helplessly in her heart.She could almost foresee how cruel and bloody the upcoming battle would be.

Compared with the resplendent and noble atmosphere of Yuqing Palace, Xian'an Palace is a bit bleak.Outside the gate of Xian'an Palace, the guards who had received the imperial decree of Kangxi for a long time were standing in formation with swords in hand, strictly preventing anyone from entering or coming out.Seeing Yinzhen strolling over with a sullen face, the foreman's guard hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Slave greets the fourth master. The emperor has ordered that no one should enter Xian'an Palace to see the deposed prince." Yinzhen's face turned cold, and he kicked The guard kneeling in front of him kicked it away, and said coldly: "Slave dog! Can you call the prince a waste?" The guard was chilled by Yinzhen's cold and serious gaze, and said quickly: "I am guilty. The emperor has No one is allowed to see Second Elder Brother, Fourth Master, please come back." Yinzhen's face was sullen, the coldness on his body was getting stronger and stronger, and the head guard also felt the increasing pressure on his body, so he almost wanted to get out of the way quickly There is a way for this grandfather to pass.It's a pity that without the emperor's imperial decree, even if he had a hundred courage, he would never dare to let him go.

Not far away, an elderly figure hurried over. There is probably no guard in the palace who does not know Li Dequan, the chief executive next to the emperor. Li Dequan looked at the scene and said quickly: "The emperor has an order, and the fourth master will come to visit the second elder brother in the future. Don't stop me." The guard foreman was stunned for a moment, and quickly agreed to come down and make way for Yinzhen to enter.But in his heart he secretly complained, if Mr. Li had come earlier, he wouldn't have to offend Fourth Master.

It has been half a month since the crown prince was formally abolished, and it has been more than half a month since the people in Yuqing Palace and Xian'an Palace are half a catty.As soon as Yinzhen stepped into Xian'an Palace, all he felt was endless bleakness and decadence.There were not many servants in the huge Xian'an Palace, and the fallen leaves that hadn't come had turned the whole yard withered and yellow.The layout of the courtyard in the palace will not be much worse, even if there is no one to lead the way, Yinzhen still walks towards the main hall of Xian'an Palace without stopping.As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw the Crown Princess walking towards the main hall with a jug, and Da Yinzhen was obviously a little surprised, so he paused and said, "Why is the fourth brother here?" Yinzhen was silent for a while, and then said: "I met the second sister-in-law. The younger brother came to see...Second brother." The princess smiled bitterly, and said: "I didn't expect you to come to see us, that's all... He has fallen into this situation, and only The fourth brother has come back to see us. This... I will trouble the fourth brother to send it over." The Crown Princess sent the jug in her hand to Yinzhen, who took it and said calmly, "Your brother will leave."

Walking forward with the wine in hand, I saw a familiar figure sitting in the yard outside the main hall of Xian'an Palace from a distance.Yinfeng was sitting on the steps in an extremely leisurely and undisciplined posture that he would never use when he was a prince, looking up at the sky in a daze.Hearing Yinzhen's footsteps, he looked back at him, and finally fixed his eyes on the flagon in Yinzhen's hand, and said calmly: "Even if he finally wants to kill me, he doesn't need to send you in person, does he?" Yinzhen was silent for a while before saying: "I just met my second sister-in-law, and she asked me to bring her here along the way."

Yinreng smiled and pointed to the steps not far from him and said, "Sit down, there is nothing to worry about when your second brother is so downcast." Yinzhen walked over and put the wine pot beside Yinreng, silently watching him Not far away sat down.

Yinreng drank the wine lazily, but his eyes were less gloomy and intense than usual, and a little clearer.Looking up and down the county uniform on Yinzhen's body, he said: "I thought you should be promoted to the prince when you come back from outside. I didn't expect the old man to be very stingy." My sons are very stingy.At that time, he was very proud, but he didn't expect that the most favored self would be the first to be downcast. After thinking about it, he said: "Actually, it's better to be stingy. In case the old man can give up all he can give, and become like me."

"Second brother..."

Yinfeng tilted his head to look at him, and said with a sneer, "Why are you looking at me like that? Fourth brother, don't tell Gu that you came here because of guilt, right?" Yinzhen remained silent, but the chill on his body was even worse.It's a pity that Yinfeng grew up with him, so he didn't take his air-conditioning seriously.He waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "It's not worth it, and I don't care about you when I'm down to this point. As for the fact that you didn't save Gu, you don't have to feel guilty. If you were unlucky today, Gu wouldn't save you. Isn't the royal family just relying on their ability to live their own destiny?" Although he didn't care, Yinfeng still gritted his teeth when it came to the end.Looking sideways at Yinzhen's expressionless face, he said with a smile: "Instead of worrying about Gu, you might as well think about yourself. In the past, Gu and the boss stood in the way. Now Gu is over, and the boss is at peace. Now, you, the legitimate son of Empress Xiaoyi, have become the target of public criticism. Don’t end up with Gu in the end. You Gu don’t say anything, siblings and two cute little nephews like Hongyao Hongyan My niece can only be the same as Hong Xi's unlucky child."
