Finally the truth is revealed!
Kong Shenggong understood at this time that it turned out that Kangxi wanted to trick his younger brother and let Chang Ning pretend to stay in Beijing to bear the thunder of the Ming Dynasty, while he himself escaped from the shell and became Emperor Shun of the Qing Dynasty. But I didn't expect that Chang Ning was also a coward, unwilling to hold on to the end in Beijing, and someone came to accept his surrender, and even surrendered in the name of Kangxi!
And the Ming Dynasty most likely made a mistake and let Chang Ning continue to be Kangxi. He also asked him to send eunuchs and "yellow mantles" from the palace in the name of Kangxi to distribute copies of the reduced orders all over the world, which made the Qing Dynasty's Zhili People in Shanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and other provinces are in panic, and the officials below either run away or simply become "two, three, four, five or six" ministers...
But what is even more troublesome is that the Empress Dowager Bumubutai in Guihua City also thought that Emperor Kangxi had been captured. In order to cheer up people, she announced that Kangxi had died for the country and that the Qing throne would be inherited by Prince Yinreng! Moreover, he has also issued a clear edict to inform the world.
In other words, Kangxi has either surrendered or died... and his beloved throne has also gone to his son Yinreng.
After hearing what Kong Shenggong said about the current situation, Emperor Kangxi was stunned. He was like a wood carving and clay sculpture, frozen there, motionless.
Kong Shenggong was also a little anxious for Kangxi and the Qing Dynasty, although he was now a powerful warlord. But his little strength could not withstand the attack of the Ming Dynasty, so he could not rebel against the Qing Dynasty yet, so he got close to Kangxi and began to give him good-hearted advice.
Kong Shenggong whispered: "Brother Emperor, look at what's happening now... or you can become the emperor's uncle and regent of the Qing Dynasty!"
"What? I am the emperor's uncle and the regent? Do you want me to take Chang Ning's place?" Kangxi almost made Kong Shenggong vomit blood... This Kong Shenggong with ulterior motives wanted Kangxi to impersonate him as Chang Ning! If he really became Chang Ning, wouldn't he become the uncle of his children?
Kong Shenggong was now a powerful warlord who spoke without looking at people's faces. Even if Kangxi's face was as red as pig liver and about to burst, he still spoke out and continued to anger Kangxi. He thought for a while and then said: "Actually, as long as you have the power, being an emperor is not much different from being a regent. Besides, the prince who ascends the throne is still your biological son. How can he not listen to you? You, the regent, are actually What a true emperor!”
"There doesn't seem to be much difference between being an emperor and being a regent?" Kangxi said in his heart: "There doesn't seem to be much difference between being an emperor and the emperor's uncle setting up the king!"
Kong Shenggong didn't know that he was already suspected by Kangxi, but even if he knew he was not afraid of him - he had the strength and was not afraid of Kangxi's suspicion, so he had to continue to say what he should say.
Shenggong said: "Besides, the current situation is so bad, Your Majesty, you should also give an explanation to the world..."
What's the meaning? Kangxi said in his heart: "Is it my fault that the Qing Dynasty has reached this stage?"
Kong Shenggong then said: "Long live my lord, in fact, everyone in the court knows that you are one of the few wise kings and saints in history. In recent years, you have worked hard to govern and reform, and the strength of the Qing Dynasty's heavenly soldiers has also been enhanced because of your reforms. How much... But how come the Qing Dynasty keeps losing again and again? Isn't this God's will? God's will is like this, shouldn't you take retreat as an opportunity to advance?"
His words were a reminder from Kangxi that Kangxi's current situation was truly "death from heaven"! It is simply not something that human power can save - hundreds of thousands of people and tens of millions of people are lined up to be shot. How can it be possible to win? Besides, sugar has become a big killer now!
And Ming Dynasty now owns 100% of the world's sugar production capacity - isn't this God's will? White sugar appeared in Zhejiang at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. I don’t know if it came from Fujian. However, from the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty, no one thought that white sugar could be used to prepare gunpowder for nearly three hundred years! Otherwise, Mongolia would have been flattened by the Ming Dynasty, and the Jurchens among the white mountains and black waters would have been bombed into obedience... But this secret was discovered by Zhu Heji and others!
This is not God’s will. What is God’s will?
And now even people like Kong Yuqi believe that "God's will is clear", let alone those below?
Now Kangxi is facing a multiple-choice question that is simply impossible to choose!
The Qing Dynasty fell to this point, either because of God's will or because Kangxi's leadership was incompetent.
If it is God's will, then Kangxi must step down and replace Yinreng to try. If Kangxi's leadership was incompetent...then Kangxi still had to step down!
In short, he must step down!
Thinking of this, Kangxi could only sigh deeply: "Brother Shenggong, what you said makes sense... Let's go, let's go into the city first. I have to go and apologize to the Empress Dowager first!"
...
With a "pop" sound, a tea bowl was smashed in front of Kangxi, and the tea and porcelain fragments splashed on his robe, but Kangxi didn't even move, and still knelt there obediently—— He is asking for forgiveness!
The person who threw things at him was none other than Kangxi's dearest grandmother Bumu Butai.
The old lady was really angry this time. She threw a tea bowl and didn't get rid of her hatred. Then she picked up a fruit bowl and threw it at Kangxi. It hit Kangxi and then fell to the ground again, breaking into pieces with a crash.
After throwing away the things, the old lady started to curse again.
"Xuan Ye, you ruthless thing, Chang Ning is your biological brother! After Fuquan left, you were left with two brothers, Chang Ning and Long Xi. Long Xi was weak since he was a child, and he fell ill on the way westward. I’m down, I don’t know if I can get through it... If something happens to Chang Ning again, you’ve pretty much ruined the little bit of flesh and blood left by your Ama!”
It turns out that the old lady feels sorry for her grandson. The palms of her hands are flesh and the back of her hands is also flesh!
When the old lady saw Kangxi coming back with his beard and tail intact, she said that Chang Ning got him drunk and handed him over to Duolong and Xiaoguizi to take him out of Beijing, while she stayed in Beijing to carry the thunder for her brother. She immediately understood what was going on. It’s okay—the old lady is the founding queen mother of the Qing Dynasty. What kind of cruel and evil person have you not seen? Can you still be fooled by the lies that Kangxi made up casually?
So after sending a group of ministers who were watching the excitement out of the Silver Buddha Temple, the old lady pointed at Kangxi's nose and started scolding him.
Kangxi knew that he was in the wrong and did not dare to talk back to the old lady, so he had to kneel down and be scolded.
The old lady scolded for a while, then smashed the tea bowl and fruit bowl, finally feeling relieved. Aunt Sumala on the side saw that the fire was almost done, so she went up to persuade her: "The Queen Mother, although Chang Ning was captured by the rebels, her life can be saved..."
The old lady took out a handkerchief, wiped her tears and said: "It's strange that he was saved! What did Dorgon, the man who killed a thousand swords, do to Zhu Cihong back then? Killing him with one sword was not enough, and he had to be executed at a later date! Now the Ming Dynasty's Supreme Emperor But Prince Zhu! How could Zhu Heji let Chang Ning go..."
"Royal Grandma..." Emperor Kangxi finally felt relieved after listening to the grandmother's words... Before, he could not be 100% sure that it was Ming Dynasty who was killed in the "Fake Prince Case" in Beijing. The true prince. Now that the old lady has confirmed it herself, Chang Ning is dead!
Chang Ning's death would not only ensure the power of Kangxi and Yinreng, but also inspire the fighting spirit of the Eight Banners soldiers!
This Chang Ning deserves to die!
Thinking of this, Kangxi fell to the ground again, crying and said to Bumbutai: "Grandma Huang, my grandson knows his mistake. He will go back to Beijing now and trade himself for Chang Ning..."
"Shut up!" Bumbutai said angrily, "Xuan Ye, you are still saying such things to me now... you should think carefully about how to give an explanation to the world!"
As soon as he heard this, Emperor Kangxi was completely relieved. The old lady's most beloved grandson was still him! And the old lady now has only one grandson she can rely on!
Thinking of this, Kangxi said to Bu Mu Butai: "Grandmother, my grandson is going to retreat to Nei Zen. Yin Reng will take the throne, and my grandson will be the supreme emperor."
