It's not that I'm disappointed with Ninth Brother's reaction, but I'm disappointed that Zhang Tingzhan and Cao Yueying didn't react.
Brother Jiu went out with dozens of people. The reason why Kangxi felt relieved was because these two old adults were accompanying him.
As a result, neither of them used it.
There was no point in keeping Zhang Tingzhan's part-time job, so he looked for a reason to stop.
Cao Yueying asked him to wait and see for a few more days.
He waved his hand, signaling Chunlin to step back.
After Chunlin went out, Kangxi looked at the seventh elder brother and said: "It is too appalling for someone under the household to harm the master, and it is difficult to tell the truth to the outside world."
In addition to being the leader of the Eight Banners, there is also a large number of people under the household who depend on the Eight Banners' main households.
If you take this eucalyptus and explain it to you, it is unlikely that it will lead to others imitating it.
As for "father murdering son", it is even more difficult to directly use this crime to punish Tong Guowei. In that case, the Tong family's reputation will be completely ruined.
Kangxi had many scruples.
The seventh elder brother was silent.
He didn't answer the call because he didn't know how to answer it.
This involves the Tong family, so the emperor can only make a decision.
He doesn't want to worry.
Kangxi's patience with Tong Guowei had come to an end.
Ever since he visited the prince in Shengjing in the winter of last year, he had violated Kangxi's taboo.
Also, Concubine Tong was "ill" this year, which also made him less patient.
At this point, I no longer want to allow him to cause trouble for me.
Concubine Yi is right, the love between father and daughter should be ranked behind the love between father and son, and the love between uncle and nephew, which is further away, is naturally not as good as the love between father and son.
He made a decision, looked at the seventh elder brother, and wanted to give instructions, then glanced at the seventh elder brother's legs, and said: "Hesheli's mother and son will be placed in the Beiding Empress Temple first. I will think about how to arrange it. You I’ve been tired for a few days, so let’s rest for a few days.”
The seventh elder brother responded and retreated.
Kangxi's face looked grim, and after a while he ordered Liang Jiugong: "Pass Ma Wu!"
Liang Jiugong bowed and went out, calling Ma Wu to come in.
Kangxi did not give the order immediately, but took a pen and paper, wrote a few sentences, and then said to Ma Wu: "Go to Shengjing to convey the decree. Tong Guowei is unfaithful and unruly. He is not allowed to stay in Shengjing anymore. The whole family will move to Ji'an!"
Ji'an is the ancestral home of the Tong family. It is near Hetuala City, more than 600 miles away from Shengjing, and is under the jurisdiction of Fengtian Mansion.
The Tong family returned to their hometown in the first month of last year, not to Ji'an, but to Shengjing. That's because the eastern part of Northeast China where Ji'an is located, the old city of Jianzhou, was banned in the ninth year of Kangxi's reign.
In the 20th year of Kangxi's reign, a wicker border wall was built to completely seal the area. No people were allowed to enter, and no border residents were allowed to leave.
Only people arranged by the government to collect ginseng, cut deer antlers, and fish for pearls and sturgeons were allowed to go out, and all of them had to register their identities and heads.
Ma Wu was shaken in his heart, but it didn't show on his face. He responded respectfully, received the order, retreated, and reported to the Ministry of War.
Liang Jiugong's chin drooped even lower.
The emperor was so angry that he didn't turn over the cards for several days.
The Tong family moved into Liubianqiang and were unable to move freely, but they were completely unable to jump up.

Chunlin was still thinking about leaving the capital. After leaving Qianqing Palace, he went straight to the clan mansion.
Fortunately, the tenth brother was here. When he saw Chunlin coming, he was startled and asked quickly: "Why did the ninth brother send someone back again?"
Counting today's seven-day trip to Beijing, this is the fourth person who has returned!
Could it be that apart from Longkodo's matter, other troubles have been encountered?
Chunlin was familiar with Brother Ten, so he became less cautious and said, "Master Jiu sent his servant back with Master Seven to prepare for the Emperor's questioning. He just followed Master Seven to see him..."
As he spoke, he took out three letters from his chest, placed his hands on Brother Ten's table, and said: "Master Ten, this is the letter that Master Nine asked his servant to bring back. It's yours, and the letters from Master Four and Master Five."
…”
Brother Ten couldn't wait to read his own letter. He wrote about everything after the bear hunt, until the end of the hunt for the murderer.
Brother Jiu was afraid that everyone would not know the inside story and would become worried, so he told him carefully.
Chunlin was still in a hurry to leave, so he said: "I should have delivered the other two letters in person, but I was afraid that outsiders would make random guesses, so I entrusted them to Master Ten. You can hand them over at your convenience. I don't worry about Master Jiu."
Bian, I plan to leave Beijing today."
The tenth elder brother wrote a letter just the day before yesterday and asked Cao Shun to take it with him. He had nothing to write at the moment, so he nodded and said, "Well, leave it to me!"
Chunlin left in a hurry.
Brother Ten looked at Chunlin's back with envy.
The Tenth Prince's Mansion has also recruited a dozen guards, but they are all ordinary, and none are as outstanding as Master and Disciple Heishan.
Not only is he very capable, he is also commendable for his loyalty.
If it had been someone else who had had the opportunity to meet Your Majesty, he would have left without stopping like Chun Lin, even if he had no chance to break into camp.
The remaining two letters were unsealed. The tenth brother knew that his ninth brother was lazy, so he wrote three letters with the same content.
Without delay, he collected the two letters and went to the Hubu Yamen.
The fifth elder brother will not be on duty at the Yamen every day, but the fourth elder brother will definitely be there.
In the duty room of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Brother Si is receiving foreign guests.
He suppressed his displeasure and listened to the chatter of an old man opposite.
This is a member of the Tong family.
The Tong family members had no reaction before Longkodo was dismissed from his post.
After all, Tong Guowei, the true uncle of the emperor, was deported before him, so it is not unusual for Longko to ask more questions.
However, Erundai and Buxi's father and son were "grounded" one after another, and these elders could not sit still.
The people who came to block Fourth Brother today were Tong Guowei's brothers from the same generation.
"Fourth Master, although you were not born by our master's mother-in-law, you were raised by our master's mother-in-law. It's not good to sit back and watch..."
The old man is over sixty years old. Seeing that his fourth brother is young, he feels a little dependent on his old age.
The fourth brother's face turned black.
If in normal times, if others came to him and said this, he would have kicked them away; but it was not the case now. In the eyes of the world, the Tong family was in trouble, and he could not act too coldly.
He endured his anger and said: "Khan Ama is wise and will not be wronged. We should wait for the Holy Judgment..."
The old man said: "The designation is unjust. The Tong family has suffered a villain. The Hesheli family and the Niu Hulu family have lost their minister of bodyguards. They cannot tolerate the Tong family still occupying this position. If they had not provoked
No matter how bad things happen, Longkodo will not make the house uneasy or cause trouble!"
The implication behind these words is that the reason for Longkodo's questioning was attributed to his wife, Hesheli.
The fourth elder brother couldn't help but frown after hearing this.
He had personally experienced the banquet on September 25th, so he knew that Longkodo had brought it upon himself and was not unjust at all.
Don’t the Tong family themselves know Longkodo’s virtue?
This is nothing but strong words and self-deception.
The old man went on to ramble: "Even if Longkodo and Orundai offended the villain and were plotted against, what could be wrong with Buxi, a child who has just become a young man, has just been on the job for more than half a year, and is still newly married to the fifth princess?
, this is also slanderous..."
The fourth elder brother looked at the old man and said: "Khan Ama did not deal with Buxi, he just asked him to wait for the emperor's decree, with less speculation and less fussing."
The old man coughed slightly and said, "It's not that I want to speculate on the emperor's intentions without reason, but I can't watch the Tong family decline. The Tong family's current situation is the result of several generations of hard work. It's not easy."
Fourth elder brother lowered his eyes.
What does it have to do with yourself?
Why don't I usually remember that I was raised by Enie, and I am half a nephew of the Tong family? But when I asked for help, I remembered this.
Buxi is the biological son of Elundai, and he will be punished if he goes to the imperial court to inquire. What position do you have to go to the imperial court and tell the emperor about the Tong family?
The emperor's father is the Tong family's nephew!
If the Tong family had no faults, no one would be able to clean up the Tong family; if the Tong family had faults, it would be a mistake that even the emperor's father could not endure, and he would be doomed.
When the tenth brother came over, he saw an old man in his sixties sitting and talking pretentiously, while the fourth brother had a patient look on his face.
Brother 10 raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is this? Your butt is very heavy. You don't know how to greet me when you see me?"
This old man is an official who has participated in politics. He has met the fourth elder brother a few times, but he has never seen the tenth elder brother. He is also a little dim-sighted and did not notice the belt of the tenth elder brother.
When Brother Ten spoke, with such a tone, the old man became cautious and saw the golden color on Brother Ten's waist.
This is the yellow belt prince. The one who dares to act so arrogantly in front of the fourth elder brother must also be the prince's elder brother, but I don't know which one he is.
The old man didn't know what to call him, so he looked at Brother Si.
The fourth elder brother said to the tenth elder brother: "This is Tong Guobi, who has become an official in Fujian and has participated in politics as a leftist."
Then, he said to the man: "This is Brother Ten."
The old man hurriedly called Qian Qian and said, "Slave Tong Guobi has seen the Tenth Master."
The tenth elder brother ignored him and looked at the fourth elder brother and said: "Fourth elder brother, this is a government office, how come it has become a vegetable market? What does the Tong family's structure have to do with you? Isn't this the right time to ask Khan Ama?"
The fourth elder brother did not speak.
The old man knew that he was talking about himself, so his face was ashamed and his legs and feet were weak.
The tenth elder brother still pretended not to see it, and said to the fourth elder brother: "Fourth elder brother, you have such a good temper that you are regarded as a soft persimmon. How the Tong family is doing is a matter for the children of the Tong family to worry about. Why do you still have the prince to worry about it...
…”
