"Nonsense!"
Kangxi scolded: "There's nothing wrong with you. Why are you joining in the fun? Just wait and see!"
The seventh prince's departure aroused speculation, and if he alarmed the two princes, he didn't know what others would come up with.
The fifth elder brother said: "Khan Ama, what happened to the ninth elder brother? Okay, why are you sending people back to Beijing quickly?"
The tenth prince straightened his neck and looked at Kangxi, also looking like he was ready to get to the bottom of it.
Kangxi felt more and more heartbroken.
The fifth elder brother had the nerve to say that others were young, but he himself did not have a stable appearance, and he did not know how to think about it with his brain. If the ninth elder brother had something to do, why didn't he call him over?
There is also the Tenth Prince, who usually keeps quiet and doesn't cause anyone to worry about him. But when it comes to the Ninth Prince, he acts out of proportion.
How can a prince and his elder brother need another person to protect him when he is on a business trip?
In terms of status, the tenth prince has a higher status.
Seeing that the two of them were worried and would go to trouble if they didn't find out what was going on, Kangxi simply explained the situation.
The fifth elder brother's eyes widened, showing a little fear, and he touched his cheek involuntarily.
Although the scars are much shallower and less obvious than the earliest ones, the horror and pain at that time are still fresh in my memory.
It was as if the smell of the bear's mouth was still surrounding the tip of his nose, and right in front of him was the sharp tip of the bear's claws.
The tenth brother's face also turned pale, and he became more and more worried. He looked at Kangxi and said: "Man-eating bear?! There are many new soldiers around the ninth brother, and few of them are useful..."
Kangxi glanced at the tenth prince and immediately heard the news, and didn't care at all that Long Keduo was probably killed by the bear's mouth.
However, the tenth prince has always been like this. Except for being inseparable from the ninth prince, he is very cold towards everyone else.
The eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother were estranged and separated, and some of them were caused by the tenth elder brother adding fuel to the fire.
The fifth elder brother woke up in fear and touched his arm.
Bears eat people, and the hairs on his back stand on end.
He hurriedly said: "Khan Ama, in autumn and winter, there is less food in the wild and wild beasts are ferocious. This is too dangerous. How about we let Brother Jiu return to Beijing? If there is any errand, we can go out in the spring next year!"
The tenth prince did not agree.
Longkodo is really going to be murdered, and then there will be another turmoil in the capital, even if Ninth Brother is not around.
Kangxi saw that the fifth elder brother was really worried about the ninth elder brother, and said: "Don't worry, the seventh elder brother has brought the guards there, and he will allocate a hundred people to the ninth elder brother."
After hearing this, the fifth elder brother made a mental addition, counting the one hundred guards and the number of people in the Prince's Mansion together, there were less than two hundred people.
It doesn't sound like much, but it should be enough, right?
In his early years, Khan Amma went out with only two to three hundred guards and troops.
Here for the Guards, the selection standards are not as good as those for the Palace Guards.
There was something lacking in his heart, and it showed on his face.
Kangxi said helplessly: "A hundred more people is a lot!"
You can add more people. In that case, there will be problems with supply and the place will be disturbed.
The fifth elder brother said honestly: "There are many people, but they are not as useful as guards."
Even if a hundred people are to be arranged to follow the retinue, aren't they just two guards and eighty guards?
Kangxi did not explain anything, but only warned: "The jury is still out on whether it is Longkodo or not. Just be aware of it and don't mention it to outsiders."
The two brothers responded in unison and stepped back from the imperial palace.
Outside Qianqing's door, the fourth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother were talking.
The twelfth elder brother got the news and knew that the tenth elder brother had come to the palace to see your Majesty, so he was here to wait for the tenth elder brother to come out.
The fourth elder brother had just come out of the household department. He heard what was said about the ninth elder brother. He was a little worried and wanted to come to see you. When he heard that the fifth elder brother and the tenth elder brother had gone in, he didn't go any further. , waiting here with Brother Twelve for the two of them to come out.
Seeing that both of them looked a little solemn, the fourth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother also stopped talking.
"What's wrong with Brother Nine?"
The fourth elder brother looked at the fifth elder brother and asked.
The fifth elder brother opened and closed his mouth, thinking about Kangxi's instructions.
Do not mention this to outsiders.
Huh?
Don't mention this to outsiders?
Fourth brother is not an outsider, he is one of our own!
He whispered the news that the emperor had just heard. Longkodo was suspected to have been killed in a bear's mouth, and his body was incomplete.
Brother Ten then added the time and place.
The discovery was made this morning on the mountain behind Miyun Palace. The people who discovered it were Jiu Age and his wife and the guards and soldiers who went up to the mountain to hunt bears from the prince's residence.
The twelfth elder brother looked relaxed after hearing this.
He thought it was Ninth Brother's matter. Since it was someone else's matter, it had nothing to do with him and he didn't need to worry about it.
The fourth elder brother is in conflict.
So many people witnessed it with their own eyes, and it was determined that there was a certain reason why they identified Longkodo and alerted the emperor.
Kelongkodo is the pillar of the next generation of the second family of the Tong family. Even if he makes mistakes and is punished, he will one day turn around.
Is this going to end your life?
Although he was favored by Empress Xiaoyi, the Tong family was not very close to him, the "eldest brother of Jingren Palace". Only Longkoduo had remained close to him over the years.
Have we lost contact with the Tong family in the future?
He thought of Bu Xi and couldn't help but be stunned.
One thing is going down, the other is going up, and the second house of the Tong family is probably going to sink.
The two brothers reacted differently, and footsteps could be heard in the distance.
It was the eldest brother and the third brother who came together.
The eldest elder brother is here with the fifth elder brother. He is worried that the ninth elder brother is young and will not be able to live alone when he is away from home.
As for the emperor's arrangement for the seventh prince to leave the capital, he also had some complaints in his heart.
The seventh elder brother is not old and still has some inconveniences. If the emperor's father wants to send his son to pick up the ninth elder brother, isn't he just sending his eldest son away?
Third Brother is more curious.
He wasn't too worried about Brother Nine.
When the couple goes out, Brother Jiu is good at making friends, while Shu Shu is very lucky. If she encounters trouble, it will be someone else's trouble.
Unless there is internal strife between the two, they will not suffer.
The third elder brother thought of the eighth elder brother's recent affair with a foreigner, and he made some ill-intentioned speculations.
Could it be that Brother Ninth was dishonest when he went out and ate it secretly, causing Shushu Hedong to roar?
If the couple really gets into an internal conflict, will Lao Jiu's luck also be ruined?
From now on, you don’t have to worry about the old Jiufang people anymore, right?
He couldn't hold back his curiosity and came over to watch the excitement. He happened to bump into his eldest brother and entered the palace together.
Seeing the four princes gathered here, the eldest brother became even more worried and said: "What happened? A frightened horse or a rock?"
He is the oldest among the princes and has traveled the most frequently. He also knows the principle of driving and traveling with three risks.
The fourth elder brother was still thinking about whether to tell the two of them, but the fifth elder brother had already told the matter again.
This time he didn't let the tenth prince add anything. He also said a few things that the tenth prince had just added.
After hearing this, the eldest brother and the third brother looked at each other.
Others didn't know it, but their brothers knew that Elundai had arranged for people to go to the clan mansion to "take care of things."
The two of them looked at Brother Ten at the same time.
When the flogging was being carried out in the courtyard of the clan's mansion, the tenth prince was also there.
Is this Orundai’s determination not to give up?
Isn't it too blatant?
The tenth elder brother looked a little irritable. Seeing the two elder brothers looking over, he said unhappily: "It's really unlucky. I didn't know how to die far away. I definitely scared the ninth brother!"
The eldest brother said with disapproval: "Say less!"
Regardless of whether the corpse is Longkodo or not, it is too harsh to say that death is the most important thing.
The fourth elder brother looked at the tenth elder brother and also frowned: "Don't be impatient. There is an imperial doctor following you, as well as Zhang Tingzhan and Cao Yueying, two old men. There is no need to worry unfounded."
The tenth elder brother thought about the character and behavior of the two people, frowned and said: "How did Khan Ama choose people? One is a nerd, and the other is also a nerd. Not to mention serving the ninth brother, the ninth brother has to worry about them..."
These words were disrespectful. Just as the eldest brother was about to say a few words, he saw two people running towards him from the direction of Jianting.
Thinking of Brother Fourteen's big mouth, the eldest brother hurriedly ordered: "Don't tell Brother Fourteen yet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fourteenth elder brother ran over panting, tilted his head and looked at the eldest elder brother, and said, "What did the eldest brother say about me?"
The elder brother was temporarily stuck.
The third elder brother said from the side: "You must be envious of your ninth brother. Your ninth brother was in Miyun this morning and hunted three black bears. I want to pay my respects!"
"Three bears?!"
The fourteenth elder brother almost jumped up after hearing this: "Then it is definitely not the ninth brother who hunted. How can the ninth brother pull the bow? It must be the ninth sister-in-law!"
These words were meant to belittle the Ninth Elder Brother. The Fifth Elder Brother didn't like to hear it and said: "How come it wasn't the Ninth Elder Brother who hunted them? He can just wrap around dozens of people, and he doesn't need to do it himself."
Brother Fourteen's eyes turned red with envy, and he regretted: "I had known that Brother Ninth was going out, so I would have followed him no matter what."
His mind was filled with things like hunting, and he never thought that Third Brother would lie, so he just believed it.
Brother Thirteen stood next to him, looking at everyone's expressions, he felt that it was not that simple.
If that were the case, the news would be true if it came out in the afternoon, and there would be no need for Seventh Brother to bring 200 people out of Beijing.
It's not a big deal, even the twelfth elder brother showed up.
It's just that Third Brother lied and no one else exposed him, so he just didn't want to tell it.
But what happened to Ninth Brother?
The fourth elder brother noticed the worry of the thirteenth elder brother and gave him a look, indicating that he should look at the fifth elder brother.
The thirteenth elder brother looked at the fifth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother looked relaxed and was talking to the eldest elder brother, saying: "Three bears, I don't know how big they are, they are not mounted and shot, they are very brave to deal with them on foot!"
The eldest brother has also encountered a bear. He knows that when faced with it, ordinary people would probably not dare to move, let alone fight.
He nodded and said: "There are still useful people in Brother Ninth's house, which is good."
Brother Thirteen's heart was immediately set.
There may be some things that are inconvenient to tell the outside world, but the fifth brother reacted like this, which means that there is indeed no difficulty on the ninth brother's side.
There is Babeizi between Sibeile and the Ninth Prince's Mansion. He has been there often in the past two years, and he is also familiar with the staff of the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
He eliminated Erhe and Fu Qing, knowing that the main force should be Chunlin.
This can be regarded as a famous teacher giving birth to a great disciple.
Heishan is now attached to the Ministry of War, responsible for training men and trying out new bows.
That's a six-foot-tall warrior.
It's just a pity for people who are older and in their fifties.
If Chunlin could have the skills of his master, then the Ninth Prince's Mansion would have many useful people in the future.
Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
The eight princes gathered at the Qianqing Gate, and naturally someone reported the news to the emperor.
Kangxi was a little surprised, but then he felt that it was reasonable.
He stroked his forehead and waited for his sons to come to see him, thinking that he would have to be verbose again.
As a result, when the light in the room was dim and the lamp was turned on, there was still no movement.
He ordered Liang Jiugong, "Go and see what's going on..."
Liang Jiugong went down in response and arrived at Qianqingmen, but he didn't see a single brother.
He asked the guards next to him a few words and found out that the princes had dispersed a quarter of an hour ago. Those who were going back to their elder brother's place were going back to their elder brother's place, and those who were leaving the palace were leaving the palace.
Liang Jiugong jogged back and reported, "Your Majesty, the brothers left after talking for half a quarter of an hour at Qianqing Gate."
Kangxi's mouth twitched after hearing this.
It’s really uneasy to have the Fourteenth Brother in there. I hope the elders will have sense and know what can and cannot be said...

Miyun Palace, the main room in the front yard.
This is a palace. Even the prince and prince Fujin are not qualified to live in the main courtyard. They were placed directly in the front yard yesterday.
In the afternoon, the couple didn't move anywhere, just strolling in the yard.
After another messy dinner, one of us drank a bowl of soothing soup and lay down...

Rolling and asking for monthly votes, the next update will be around 12 noon on June 16th
