Qing Fu Jin

Chapter 158 Who Convinced Kangxi
Under the consolation of the Queen Mother, Guo Luoluo finally calmed down his mentality, and after the imperial doctor administered the acupuncture, he obediently lay down and fell asleep.

Ulanara went with the queen mother, presumably the queen mother still has something to say to Kangxi.Guo Luoluo knelt down at the gate of Qianqing Palace until he fainted. Kangxi should always give an explanation because of emotion and reason.

Mrs. Dong E stays with Mrs. Guo Luoluo.

Today was the day when Ling Bo went back to his natal family to pay New Year's greetings. Since Guo Luoluo had already persuaded him, and the Queen Mother had mediated, the intercession matter would most likely come to fruition.It doesn't make much sense for her to keep it, so she brought the embroidered book and Ruidong, gave Guo Luoluo a few words, and left the palace.

Although the atmosphere in Beijing is still dignified, it is the second day of the first lunar month after all, and the Fucha mansion is still very happy when the only aunt returns to her natal home to pay New Year's greetings.

When Bo Zhe came, he had already explained to everyone that Ling Bo had gone into the palace to persuade Ba Fujin, and now seeing her come back, they had to ask what happened.

Knowing that the queen mother came forward to mediate for the eight elder brothers and the eight blessings, and things turned around, everyone sighed.

Men are sure to think about changes in the political situation, but women mostly don't worry about it.

Although I sighed at the tenacity of the eight Fujin's Zhenlie, it was just a sigh of relief. After all, this is a matter of other people's family and has no personal interests with them.

The sun shone warmly on their bodies. Lingbo with a big belly, Wuzhu who was newly married, and Fuhui who handed Xiaohezhuo to the nanny, had a rare break away from the three aunts and six wives who kept talking auspicious words. moment.

Wu Zhu looked at Ling Bo's stomach, her eyes widened, as if she saw something surprising.

"I only saw you before Chinese New Year. It's only been a few days. Why does your belly seem to be getting bigger again?" She put her hands on Ling Bo's belly, as if she was afraid of disturbing the life inside, she carefully After rubbing it twice, I got a very strange feeling.

Fu Hui also took a closer look at Ling Bo's stomach, and asked tentatively, "I'm afraid it's twins, right?"

Ling Bo nodded and said with a smile: "The doctor in Huichun Hall and the imperial physician in the palace have both seen it, and they are twins."

Both Fuhui and Wuzhu were pleasantly surprised.

"It's just that it's a little harder to give birth than others." Fu Hui was delighted and also slightly worried.

Ling Bo smiled and said: "Don't worry about me. I saw your sister-in-law give birth with my own eyes, and that Lian'er Little Gege in the eighth elder brother's mansion was also born with my own eyes. When a woman gives birth, of course it is time It’s been a hell of a journey, but it’s a very happy and fulfilling thing to be able to give birth to such a fresh life and witness their growth.”

Fu Hui nodded. As a mother, she can certainly appreciate the anticipation and joy.

Wu Zhu listened intently, and unconsciously put her hands on her flat stomach.

Seeing it out of the corner of his eye, Ling Bo hurriedly said, "Could it be that you have it too?"

Wu Zhu was stunned for a moment, then annoyed: "What nonsense, I've only been married to him for a few days!"

Ling Bo and Fu Hui both giggled.

"Shao Fujin, there is news from the palace." Rui Dong walked over briskly, speaking clearly.

The three stopped laughing immediately, and Ling Bo said seriously, "About Brother Eight?"

"Yes."

Ling Bo, Fu Hui and Wu Zhu looked at each other subconsciously.

Rui Dong said: "The news just came out from the palace that the emperor changed the sentences of the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother, and kept their ancestral records. The ninth elder brother was sent to Baoding for confinement, but he was allowed to be free in Baoding city; the eighth elder brother Although my brother is still confined, he is no longer in Ganxi No. [-], but sent back to his own mansion, allowing him to reunite with his family."

This is much lighter than the original punishment.

First of all, the clan status is preserved first, they are still clan relatives, and have the minimum identity and status.

Brother Jiu doesn’t need to be confined anymore, but sent to Baoding. Since Kangxi allowed him to be free in Baoding City, he is basically allowed to live freely, but he can’t go back to Beijing, that is to say, he will leave this political arena forever. His original punishment, at least in human beings, has allowed him to have the same freedom as ordinary people.

The eighth elder brother was sent back to his own mansion for confinement, at least he didn't have to face the loneliness of Ganxi No. [-].Although his political career is over, at least he still has relatives by his side.For the Eight Fortune Jin Guo Luoluo, at least he still has a husband; for Hongwang, Lianer and others, at least they can see their father.

Ling Bo sighed and said, "Sister-in-law Ba's kneeling still softened the emperor's heart, coupled with the empress dowager's persuasion, the emperor changed his mind."

Both Fuhui and Wuzhu nodded.

Rui Dong was a little confused and said: "But according to the news, it wasn't the queen mother who convinced the emperor."

"En?" Ling Bo raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not the Queen Mother, who is that? Who else can be more convincing than the Queen Mother?"

Rui Dong replied: "It's Prince Yong's fourth elder brother."

Ling Bo, Fu Hui and Wu Zhu all had serious expressions on their faces.

"It is said that after we left the palace, although the queen mother went to persuade the emperor, the emperor did not change his mind immediately. Later, the fourth elder brother got the news and entered the palace, went to the Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor, interceded with the emperor, and forgave the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother. Elder brother, the emperor just let go."

Fourth elder brother!
Ling Bo suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

Could it be that all of this is the way Kangxi set up for Si Age?
Is there a need?

Is it necessary?

Is it possible?

Did Kangxi love Si Age so much, love him so much, and devote himself to such a degree?The empress dowager tried hard to persuade him not to do it, and the eighth elder brother could not kneel down to death. The fourth elder brother begged for mercy, but he let him go and changed the punishment of the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother to a lighter sentence.

Ling Bo suddenly felt that the world was too crazy.

In her mind, Kangxi should be happy and angry. During this lively period of Kowloon's succession, he was just an emperor who looked at the world and let his sons fight with each other.It's like a ruthless wolf king who wants to choose the next successor for himself through cruel natural selection of the fittest.

And the Yongzheng in her heart did not rely on the favor of the previous generation to get the throne, but in more than ten years of long and tragic competitions and struggles, she personally beheaded her brothers and built up steps with the failure of countless people. , Stepping on their shameful and unwilling heads, they climbed up to the high dragon chair, and thus left many suspicions and inquiries to future generations.

However, in front of her eyes, Kangxi and the future Yongzheng staged a good show of fatherly kindness and filial piety, willing to sacrifice other sons to pave the way for the fourth elder brother.

For Ling Bo, it felt like history was collapsing.

With this kind of uncertainty and trance, she was still puzzled until she left Fucha's house and returned to Prince Jane's mansion.

In the end, it was Bozhe who gave her an explanation.

The emperor may not have planned to pave the way for the fourth elder brother from the beginning.

At the beginning, he and the fourth elder brother personally tried the Sichuan corruption case. From the investigation and evidence collection to the verdict, they witnessed the emperor's mental journey.

The emperor did not premeditate to give such a heavy punishment to the eighth and ninth elder brothers.

At that time, he really felt disgusted and hated the life-and-death struggle of his sons.

Let me ask you, how can a father not feel sad when he sees his own son disregarding family affection and fighting to the death for rights?How can you be as calm and harsh as a stone?
It is precisely because he loves his sons that he does not hesitate to cut off their political lives with his own hands. After cutting off their hopes, everything can be brought back to normal.

Afterwards, the intensified implicated situation, which even caused panic in the whole capital, was entirely because the emperor failed to control his emotions for a while.

Kangxi, after all, is a 60-year-old man.

When Bo Zhe said this sentence, Ling Bo was a little stunned.

At the age of 60, in modern times, if you take good care of yourself, you are still as healthy as a man in your prime.But in this era, even the emperor enjoys the best living conditions and has doctors with the best medical skills to recuperate his body, but the work of the emperor is too heavy, tedious and labor-intensive. He is as wise as Kangxi, as martial as Kangxi , When I reached the mark of 60 years old, I really felt a little old.

Staying up all night will make him very tired, and no matter how much sleep he has the next day, he will not be able to regain his energy.

My eyes are also blurred. When reading a memorial, I always have to hold it very far away, otherwise it will be a blur.

I often forget some small things, and I have to remind Li Dequan before I remember that I have said that I have made a decision.

The decline of his physiological function made him feel that his imperial career was coming to an end.

And after several years of seizing the heir, he saw the ambition and ability of his sons, and he also had the most basic judgment and the most suitable candidate for his future successor.

Although he can still control the situation now, but in a few years?When he is a little older, the lion will no longer be vigorous, who else can stop this bloody storm?
With his heart no longer stiff, he began to be a little anxious, eager to sort out the situation as soon as possible.

Therefore, he accidentally failed to control the situation and let it expand.

It wasn't until the queen mother came back from Shengjing and persuaded him a lot that he realized that something was wrong.But the emperor is a golden man, and he cannot change his orders overnight.Therefore, he has been avoiding the queen mother.

And when Bafujin knelt in front of the Qianqing Palace, he actually found an opportunity, but with Bafujin's persistence, he couldn't wait for the most critical entry point until Hongwang fainted and Bafujin was also sent to the hospital. Too hospital.

The empress dowager's persuasion and the fourth elder brother's intercession were all coincidences.

He also pushed the boat along the way, so he fulfilled Ba Fujin's heart, and both the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother were forgiven.

After Bo Zhe's analysis, Ling Bo suddenly realized.

It turned out that it was not the collapse of history, but that every great figure in history had flesh and blood in reality. They were not a program, they were moving according to established codes, they would make mistakes, take detours, and act emotionally.

"It's always a good ending anyway, right?"

Facing Ling Bo's question, Bo Zhe smiled.

"On the sixth day of the lunar new year, don't you still have to go to the palace to attend the Queen Mother's party? You can see for yourself whether this is a happy ending."
