Kangxi snorted coldly.
The ninth elder brother was nearby and turned over the third elder brother's fist.
The third elder brother looked helplessly at the ninth elder brother and slowly opened his fist.
Brother Jiu looked on and took a breath of air.
The palms of both hands were rotten and bloody, especially the right hand, which showed that the situation at that time was urgent and tragic.
He had actually remained calm before.
Brother Ninth felt that in his mind, the image of the third brother had become taller.
Kangxi looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Didn't you take Panax notoginseng powder?"
Brother Ninth nodded and said: "I took it, but it was all given to Hong Qing. I sent it directly to the third brother's house."
Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong and said: "The imperial physician also brought some Panax notoginseng powder..."
Liang Jiugong went down.
Kangxi looked at the eldest brother and the seventh brother again.
The eldest brother said: "After checking the horse, it was not an accident. The reins were tampered with and there were iron nails on the inside."
Kangxi's face was gloomy and he looked at the seventh elder brother again.
The seventh elder brother said: "The coachman has been sent to the Shenxing Department. He was born in Baoyi and was a gambler. He separated from his family and his wife returned home with her son."
Anyone who gambles is prone to cheating.
Just by listening, I knew something was wrong with this coachman.
Brother Jiu, who was nearby, thought of how he had almost always checked three generations of people employed by Fujin. Especially if he wanted to check the family tradition and those who were related to gambling, they would not be able to get a job in the Prince's Mansion.
As long as there is a gambler, there will be a loophole, and the guarantee will be bribed to do harm.
Kangxi looked at his eldest brother and said, "Is Hongyu scared?"
He had a very good impression of this little grandson. He was an honest child, filial and friendly.
The eldest brother nodded and said: "I was scared, but I was also upset because I didn't hug Hong Qing well."
Kangxi shook his head after hearing this and said: "You are of similar stature, it is already hard to protect your younger brother."
It can be seen that the cousins are really close.
Kangxi glanced at his ninth elder brother and thought it was a serious idea to let the emperor's grandchildren go to the study to study.
What did he see?
Brother Jiu is distracted?
"What do you think, Brother Ninth?" Kangxi asked.
Brother Jiu said truthfully: "Khan Ama, the population of the Eight Banners has been booming in recent years, and there are too many idle people. It's okay to go to the teahouse to hold cages for birds, but there are also many people who gather for gambling in private. Isn't it called the Dutong Yamen?" Should we investigate the casino carefully? For example, is this coachman an old gambler or someone who is newly lured to the casino? Nine out of ten gamblers are cheaters. If he is newly lured into gambling and the gambler chases him, will he be able to find out what is behind the scenes? man of?"
Kangxi heard this, thought for a moment, and said: "Since it is Baoyi, the casino is probably located in the imperial city..."
As he said that, he looked at the seventh elder brother and said: "But just as the ninth elder brother guessed, check the relevant gambling situation."
The seventh elder brother agreed.
Everyone looked at Brother Ninth and had their own thoughts.
Although gambling is prohibited by law, everyone is idle during the New Year and New Year holidays, which is indeed the peak period for gambling.
Brother Jiu accidentally discovered a good clue.
At this moment, Liang Jiugong came back with the medicine and the imperial doctor.
However, when he came in, he reported first and said: "Your Majesty, the prince wants to see you. He is waiting outside."
Kangxi did not speak, but looked at his eldest brother.
The eldest brother's face was calmer than expected.
Kangxi looked at his eldest brother and said: "This matter is not the prince's. The prince will not do such unpopular things."
The eldest brother looked at Kangxi but was speechless.
He also knew in his heart that it was unlikely to be the prince, but when he heard that Kangxi directly made a judgment without asking the prince, he felt a little uncomfortable when he was so protective.
What if?
What if it’s really the prince?
Are you going against the grain and deliberately using such crude and crude methods?
If the third elder brother hadn't taken action today, it's unclear whether Hong Yu and Hong Qing's lives could have been saved.
The eldest brother became stubborn and said: "Khan Ama, my son wants to hear what the prince has to say."
After hearing this, Kangxi's face became more unhappy and said, "You don't believe me, do you suspect that you are the prince?"
The eldest brother said: "My son doesn't know whether he has doubts or not, and I don't know whether the prince believes or not and whether his son has doubts."
Kangxi looked at his eldest brother, his heart heavy.
The worst outcome has occurred, and the brothers are suspicious.
He looked at Liang Jiugong and said, "Send the prince to come in!"
Liang Jiugong responded and brought the prince in.
The prince's face was tense, and he suppressed his anger. Looking at his expression, he seemed to have a stronger reaction than the eldest brother.
His expression naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Now in front of the emperor, the brothers were lined up on the left and right. Compared with the prince who was alone, he seemed to be outnumbered.
Seeing a group of princes and elder brothers in the room, the prince clenched his fists tightly.
What is that look in your eyes?
If I don't come over today, will I be blamed? !
"Khan Ama, my son has never asked anyone to murder my little brother. If my son is really such a ruthless person, isn't it enough that all the princes in the house are plotting against his son? Do they have to blame his nephew?"
The prince said firmly.
The Prince's team is behind the Queen Mother's team.
However, the news from the prince's side came relatively late. At first, I only heard that the carriage behind him was in an accident.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he got the accurate information that the accident was Hongyu's carriage.
Kangxi frowned and said, "What did Hun say? No one said that you plotted to kill my little brother, so we arranged to investigate..."
The prince smiled bitterly and said: "If my son doesn't say anything now, he is afraid that it will be too late to turn back. I have checked here and there, but it is impossible to say that it is the family related to Yuqing Palace. Otherwise, what would be the purpose of arranging this big show? Xiangzhuang's sword dance is just for Pei Gong."
The eldest brother looked at the prince.
The two have been rivals for half their lives, and the eldest brother actually believed in his heart that the prince was not the instigator of this matter.
But what about the people around the prince?
The prince lost two sons, and the remaining one had mediocre qualifications, almost like being childless.
The only person who is qualified to be the prince's opponent is himself.
I only have a single child, Hong Yu. If I lose Hong Yu, I will be like having no children.
The prince would not do such a thing, but what about the prince's men?
Nowadays, Confucianism is respected, and there is a distinction between concubines and concubines. The prince has also assisted the emperor's father in handling government affairs for more than ten years.
Especially in recent years, Shengjia is away half the year every year, and his government affairs are handled by the prince and prime minister.
The prince's largest arm Suo Etu fell, and the "princeling party" was leaderless, but it did not disperse.
On the contrary, he was more sympathetic to the prince.
Who doesn’t miss Conglong’s merits?
Before there was the Suo'etu, even if everyone was eyeing the fat prince, they could only settle for the next best thing.
Now is the time when "the eight immortals cross the sea and show their magical powers". The annual gifts of Yuqing Palace in the past two years are even more abundant than in previous years.
I'm afraid someone is willing to share the prince's worries.
When the prince found out afterwards that his men had done it, he would not kill his relatives out of justice, but would still find an opportunity to cover it up.
The eldest brother's observation irritated the prince.
The prince stared directly at the eldest brother and said: "Eldest brother thinks it is Gu who wants to harm Hong Yu?"
The eldest brother shook his head and said: "The prince was taught by Khan Ama step by step. I believe that the prince cannot do such a thing, but the prince has also said that it is impossible to say that it was done by someone related to Yuqing Palace. The prince did not know and was innocent." , Hongyu is innocent, then who is not innocent?"
Everyone looked at the prince.
Everyone also speculated that the matter would be traced to the prince, but it was still a bit strange for the prince to say this.
The prince has been exhausted mentally and physically these days.
It was because he sorted out the changes in Kangxi's attitude towards him.
Aktun is his eldest son and the emperor's eldest grandson, but he was rejected by the emperor because of a conflict with his fifteenth elder brother.
He never made a name for himself, and even when he was seriously injured and dying, he didn't go to visit him.
When she came to her own place, Concubine Rong was doing tricks in Yuqing Palace and even plotting to kill herself, but she was just demoted.
I had taken myself, the prince, too seriously before, thinking that I was the most important thing to the emperor.
In fact, the emperor's father did love his son, but he also loved his other sons.
The prince turned back directly, looked at Third Elder Brother, and said: "Third Elder Brother, is this fisherman comfortable?"
The third elder brother was surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Prince, are you talking about the third elder brother? Not the fourth elder brother or the fifth elder brother? Or the tenth elder brother or the thirteenth elder brother?"
The fourth elder brother's face turned dark and he stared at the third elder brother.
The fifth elder brother was still fascinated by the lake, wondering what "fisherman" meant.
The tenth elder brother glanced at the third elder brother, but he was not annoyed.
Fortunately, I knew that Ninth Brother was not scheming, so I bit him in a circle but did not bite Ninth Brother.
The thirteenth elder brother looked at the third elder brother with genuine disgust.
Just a moment ago, I thought that this third brother was brave enough. I couldn't just look at his shortcomings in the future. Now he turned into a mad dog. In order to muddy the water, he even bit his own little brother who had just become a teenager.
The prince looked directly at him and said: "If the situation between Gu and Big Brother is to fight to the death, and both sides suffer, who will take advantage?"
The third elder brother blinked and looked at the fourth elder brother and the tenth elder brother, hesitating between the two.
What the prince said seems to make sense.
This is exactly what I guessed.
Some people are tired of living in peace and want to provoke the boss and the prince to fight again.
He knew that it was not him, and he also knew that he did not have that weight in the heart of the emperor.
But what about the fourth child?
The Queen's adopted son is also diligent in running errands.
Or Lao Shi?
Niu Hulu's family is large and powerful, and Lao Shi has gathered a lot of people in the two years since he opened his house.
The fourth elder brother's face turned darker, while the tenth elder brother was still calm, but there was anger on his face.
The prince sneered and said: "Do you think you are a fool? At this time, you are still thinking of diverting trouble to the east..."
The third elder brother was truly aggrieved. Looking at the expression on the prince's face, he knew that he could not explain the truth clearly. He could only look at Kangxi and said: "Khan Ama, my son has been wronged. My son is self-aware and does not deserve to be this 'fisherman'..." …”
