Even the ninth elder brother slandered, let alone the two parties involved, the eldest elder brother and the prince.
Both of them had a hard time talking, but they seemed to be listening.
The fourth elder brother listened the most attentively and nodded slightly, thinking that this was the truth.
Compared with the tens of millions of Han people in the Central Plains, the population of the Eight Banners was too small, and the Qing Dynasty was treading on thin ice.
Internal strife in the royal family will lead to internal strife among the Eight Banners, and internal strife among the Eight Banners will make the world unstable.
But as long as there are people, there will be fights.
It must be within a controllable range.
The Thirteenth Brother is still looking like he has lost his soul.
Over the years, he had watched the fight between his brothers and had always been a bystander. He did not expect to be dragged into the water now.
He is still a bald brother, but he has experienced the coldness of high places.
Kangxi said, also paying attention to his sons' reactions.
Everyone has grown up and has their own thoughts.
When he said these words, he was also expressing his attitude.
It is okay for brothers to quarrel with each other, but cruelty is not allowed.
The mastermind behind this incident was vague, and Kangxi was not only angry, but also a little relieved.
If it's not because of the sons, it's a good thing.
If there really is that kind of beast who has no flesh and blood in his heart to plot this matter, that would make people anxious.
It’s just that Brother Thirteen...
Kangxi glanced at him.
After all, he is young and carefree.
It's just being framed, what does that count?
Kangxi said to everyone: "Go down and count your people. If the people around you don't understand, what can you do?"
Everyone responded and stepped back from the royal chariot.
The prince and the eldest brother looked at each other disgustedly. The two brothers looked at each other and looked away, not wanting to speak.
The prince glanced at the fourth elder brother and the ninth elder brother, not wanting to leave alone in front of the royal chariot.
In that case, in the eyes of princes and ministers, he would become a nobody.
He called his fourth brother and said, "Who do you think is stirring up trouble behind this?"
Brother Si thought for a moment and said, "Someone who has access to news from the capital."
The bachelors who accompany the army, the ministers who lead the bodyguard, the people from the Ministry of War, or the people in front of the emperor.
We also need to be able to get involved with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
After hearing this, the prince felt that it made sense, and called the fourth elder brother: "Let's go, get in Gu's carriage, and talk about it carefully..."
The fourth elder brother glanced at Yu Ren, did not refuse, and accepted respectfully.
The ninth elder brother stood next to the eldest elder brother, watching the prince's pretense and being quite interested.
When the prince and the fourth elder brother rode ahead, the ninth elder brother whispered to the eldest elder brother: "The prince is really not too narrow-minded. Look at this, he didn't anger the fourth brother because of the incident in the dining room a few days ago..."
For an ordinary person, it would not be surprising to express his anger.
The eldest elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother, this is really stupid.
Any smart person would not praise the prince in front of him.
However, the eldest elder brother knew that the ninth elder brother had always followed his own heart, so he didn't take it seriously. He only said: "If it doesn't involve big things, the prince never cares about it."
Brother Jiu thought about it and nodded: "Well, when I was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I often offended the Crown Prince. If I really held a grudge, I would have thought of punishing me..."
The eldest brother laughed and said: "You still know that you yourself have offended others?"
Brother Jiu said: "I'm not stupid? But since I am in charge of errands, how can I not be disliked? There is nothing I can do about it."
The two brothers were talking and saw that the thirteenth elder brother had not yet got off the chariot, so they stopped waiting and mounted their horses.
The eldest elder brother was afraid that the ninth elder brother would be worried, so he said: "Since Khan Ama has kept the thirteenth elder brother, he is just for comfort, so there is no need to worry."
Brother Ninth nodded and said: "I'm not worried, I'm just worried that Brother Thirteen will have random thoughts. The child has never been through anything. He will definitely be uneasy when he is involved for the first time..."
Although the Ninth Elder Brother moved out of the palace and he had less contact with the Thirteenth Elder Brother, they had the friendship of accompanying each other several times and the relationship was not unfamiliar.
The eldest brother said to the ninth brother: "With what you said yesterday as a basis, the thirteenth brother can calm down even if he gets flustered for a moment."
If it hadn't been for the ninth elder brother yesterday, the results found out today would have scared the thirteenth elder brother half to death.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu said with pride on his face, "I'm just saying what I say, and I'm telling the truth!"
The fourteenth elder brother was waiting beside the carriage, leaning half of his body.
I thought that the prince and the fourth brother would go there and the others would be behind.
As a result, I had to wait for half a cup of tea before I saw the eldest brother and the ninth brother arriving late.
"Big brother! Ninth brother!"
The voice of the fourteenth elder brother was a little excited.
The eldest brother raised his head and remembered what he had just promised to the fourteenth brother.
While he was hesitating, Brother Fourteen couldn't wait to say: "Brother, what did you find out?"
The eldest brother didn't answer immediately.
Regarding the nanny of the Thirteenth Brother, I don’t know what the emperor said to the outside world.
It would be bad for Thirteenth Brother to spread the specious news.
When the words came to his lips, he changed his words and said: "We are still continuing to investigate. I will tell you when I have the final letter in a few days."
The fourteenth elder brother noticed something was wrong, and took a closer look at the eldest elder brother, and said: "Khan Ama sent the prince and brothers to go there, wasn't it because of what happened yesterday? It has been all day and night, and the truth has not been found out yet?"
The eldest brother moved his eyes away and said: "It's useless to find out even a small pawn, we have to continue to investigate..."
"Little pawn? Whose person? Did Brother Jiu tell him to find the person from Yuqing Palace?"
Brother Fourteen suppressed his excitement and asked.
The eldest brother waved his hand and said: "No, don't make random guesses. We will have accurate information in a few days..."
Having said that, he was afraid that the fourteenth elder brother would bother him again, so he said: "We are about to set off, get in the car quickly, don't delay."
Brother Fourteen feels like grass is growing in his heart, how can he bear not to ask?
It’s just that the eldest brother has already called the ninth brother to continue walking.
Brother Fourteen looked at the backs of the two of them, then his eyes widened and he looked back in the direction of the royal chariot.
Brother Thirteen is not back?!
Khan Ama asked Thirteenth Brother to investigate the matter?
Khan Amma has more and more trust in Brother Thirteen.
Brother Fourteen's breathing was a little heavy, his eyes were hazy, and he clenched his fists and got on the carriage.
After passing the carriage of the fourteenth prince, there are the carriages of the fifteenth prince and the sixteenth prince.
The two of them sat obediently in the carriage.
But the carriage curtain was open, and two little heads were squeezed in there.
"Big brother, ninth brother..."
It’s the same greeting, but the child’s voice is clear and cute.
The eldest brother originally had a straight face, but when he saw this, he became much softer.
These are little brothers who are about the same age as my son. They are all cute and well-behaved.
The eldest brother said: "I won't be traveling for the festival tomorrow, so I'll take you two to catch rabbits. Do you want to go?"
The eyes of the fifteenth elder brother were shining, and the sixteenth elder brother nodded repeatedly and said: "Go and catch the rabbit, honor the emperor's grandmother, the emperor's grandmother rewarded the vegetables yesterday..."
Who doesn’t like a filial and sensible child?
The eldest brother smiled and said: "Okay, okay, then let's catch a fat rabbit and honor the emperor's grandmother."
Brother Jiu was standing by and said: "If you are riding a horse, remember to put on a small sweater to keep out the wind..."
Outside the Great Wall, it snows in August.
Although it hasn't snowed these past two days, the autumn wind is bleak and chilly.
The fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother both responded crisply.
The eldest brother and the ninth brother then continued to rein in their horses and move forward.
Behind the carriage of the two young brothers is the prince's carriage.
The movements of the two elder brothers also fell into the eyes of the servants of Yuqing Palace.
Others said otherwise, Ming Sheng was the prince's confidant, and the future of the family depended on the prince, so he couldn't help but feel anxious secretly.
I didn't notice it at first, but now I realized that the eldest brother and the ninth brother are very close.
Brother Ninth has a lot of contact with the younger brothers below.
Is this elder brother deliberately trying to win over the ninth elder brother?
Why doesn’t Brother Ninth know how to avoid suspicion?
The prince here not only has to be close to the fourth elder brother, but he and the ninth elder brother cannot continue to be so indifferent.
Behind the prince's car is the eldest brother's carriage.
The ninth elder brother saw the autumn wind whirling on the roadside, whining loudly, and blowing sand all over his face, so he waved to the elder brother and said: "You also get in the car and have a rest, don't always show off, you are already old!"
"
The eldest brother laughed angrily, glanced at him, and said: "Why are you getting older? You are in your prime now!"
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't be so harsh. Anyway, your waist belongs to you and your legs belong to you. If you don't mind it, you can just carry it right away!"
Anyway, he was tired, so he didn't argue with his eldest brother, just nagged and rode away.
The eldest brother felt that his hands were itchy, but the strong autumn wind was really uncomfortable, so he got off his horse and got into the carriage.
In the carriage, Da Fujin heard the noise outside, and he hesitated whether to pick up the curtain and say hello to Brother Jiu.
After all, uncles and sisters-in-law who are similar in age need to avoid taboos.
Before she could make up her mind, her eldest brother came in and said a little shyly: "Master..."
The eldest brother looked at the jacket on Da Fujin's body and remembered what the ninth brother had just told the two younger brothers, saying: "It's getting colder and colder. Tomorrow, people will start preparing hand and foot stoves for you."
Dafujin thought of Brother Jiu's words and said softly: "It's noon, it's really chilly in the morning and evening. If I don't have any errands in the future, I might as well take the car in the afternoon..."
The eldest brother shook his head directly and said: "No, it's inconvenient for everyone below to watch."
Dafujin said nothing more.
Seeing her sad expression, the eldest brother paused and said, "While we were resting on the road, I got in the car and took a rest."
Dafujin's eyes lit up and he nodded hurriedly.
Seeing the dirt on the eldest brother's face, I quickly took a handkerchief, dipped it in water, and wiped him...
*
Brother Jiu had already arrived in front of his carriage, got into it and walked sideways.
Still worried about Brother Thirteen.
For the Thirteenth Brother, this is truly an unforeseen disaster.
Brother Ninth again thought of Hong Qing who was injured in the 39th year. That time, it was the emperor's grandson who suffered the disaster, but this time it was the prince.
Who's next time?
*
In the royal chariot, the Thirteenth Brother's eyes were red, showing weakness.
"Khan Ama, my son is afraid..."
Kangxi looked at him and said: "This will not be the last time. As long as you are by my side and by the prince's side, you will never be without open swords and hidden arrows."
Brother Thirteen's face showed panic, his eyelids were drooped, and his fists were clenched tightly.
This time, because Ninth Brother exposed the other party's conspiracy in advance yesterday, the emperor's father only felt pity for him and had no doubts.
What if it happens again and again...
Will the emperor's father's trust in him remain the same?
The biggest fear in his heart is not those overt and covert attacks.
But...
But this Khan Amma who decides life, death, honor and disgrace with one word...
