The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 108: Loyalty and Filial Piety (Additional update, please give me a monthly ticket)
Yinyou felt a splitting headache and wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't do it.

"Your Majesty, it is a blessing that Master Fifteen's shoulder bone is not broken..."

"…But the tiger claws were too sharp. Even though Master Fifteen wore two layers of armor, he was still scratched by the tiger claws with three deep cuts. He was bleeding profusely…"

In a daze, Yinyou seemed to hear Kangxi's angry roar.

"If anything happens to Little Fifteen, you all must accompany him..."

After an unknown amount of time, Yinyou suddenly felt a terrible headache and couldn't help but cried out, "Ugh..."

"Your Majesty, the Fifteenth Prince has woken up, woken up..." The joyful shouts poured into Yinwei's ears with unstoppable force.

"Fifteen, my fifteen, my father is so scared..."

In the dim light, Yinyou vaguely heard Kangxi's voice, but he didn't hear it clearly.

It was unknown how long it had passed before Yinyou woke up again, only to find that his whole body was soft and weak, and he couldn't open his eyes.

"God, please open your eyes. I kneel down to beg the gods and pray to God. It really works!"

"Little Fifteen, you've been in a coma for three days and three nights. I was scared to death..."

When Yinyou opened his eyes with difficulty, he saw Kangxi's old face, which was both anxious and surprised.

"Little Fifteen, Father is so scared. He is really afraid of losing you... You look like a bloody man... There is blood everywhere..." Kangxi was so excited that he spoke incoherently.

His eyelids were too heavy, so Yinwei closed his eyes again and fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Yinyou felt a sharp pain between his teeth and cheek, and his nose was pinched so tightly that he could no longer breathe.

Then, his lips were roughly pried open, and then a bowl of water of unknown taste was forced into his mouth.

"Cough, cough..." Yinyou was choked and started coughing violently.

At this time, cheers came from around him.

"We are saved..."

"Hundreds of years old ginseng blood-replenishing soup really has miraculous effects..."

When Yinyu regained consciousness, he saw the gray-haired Kangxi holding his hand tightly, crying like rain, "God bless you, it's really God bless you... How can I bear it when an old man sends a young man away?"

Afterwards, Yinwei found out that he had been in a coma for five days due to excessive blood loss.

If it weren’t for the hundreds of years old ginseng and various rare blood-replenishing medicines, which were spent lavishly without any cost, I’m afraid my life would be in danger!

"Your Majesty, you haven't slept for five days. Your health is the most important..." Liang Jiugong took the opportunity to persuade Kangxi to rest.

"Okay, okay, I'll sleep next to Little Fifteen..."

Kangxi's originally tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and soon after, Yinyou heard the thunderous snoring beside him.

After authoritative certification by the imperial physicians, it was confirmed that Yinwei's shoulder bone was not broken, but his body was extremely weak mainly due to excessive blood loss.

During these days, Yinyu was lying in Kangxi's tent to recover from his injuries. After Kangxi finished dealing with military and national affairs, he came to the back to chat with Yinyu.

When it was time to change the dressing on the wound, Kangxi refused to go anywhere and just stood there staring at the imperial doctors' every move.

Excessive blood loss, as long as it does not lead to organ failure, is generally not a serious problem for the body and the body will recover slowly.

However, the tiger's claws, as sharp as a knife, caused irreversible permanent damage to Yinwei's left arm.

There were three deep scars on Yinyou's left shoulder, which looked extremely hideous and terrifying.

If one of the tiger claw marks had been a little deeper, Yinwei's left shoulder would have been disabled.

As the saying goes, it takes at least a hundred days to heal a broken bone.

There was no point in Yinyou being anxious, he could only stay obediently in Kangxi's rear tent, recuperating from his injuries while calmly accepting Kangxi's meticulous care.

During the entire period of recuperation, Kangxi forbade anyone except Concubine Mi and the Eighteenth Prince to disturb Yinwei's recuperation.

On the way back to Beijing from Rehe, Kangxi didn't care what others thought and placed Yinwei directly in the huge imperial sedan chair.

When Kangxi stayed overnight in a palace along the way, he would place Yinyou in the bedroom next door.

Under Kangxi's careful care, Yinwei's health improved day by day at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The only drawback was that perhaps because he drank too much ginseng soup, he actually lost a lot of hair.

There is no way. In the Qing Dynasty, the hundreds of years old Northeast ginseng was simply hyped up as a miracle medicine.

Even if Yinyou didn't want to drink, he had to drink it because Kangxi was watching him drink.

You have to drink even if you don’t want to!

After the imperial carriage arrived in the capital, Kangxi did not return to the Forbidden City, but went around the city and moved into Changchun Garden with Yinyu.

There are too many rules in the palace, even Kangxi can’t handle it, let alone Yinyou who needs to recuperate?
As for blood-replenishing herbs, such as angelica, rehmannia root, white peony root and donkey-hide gelatin, they were sold as if they were free of charge and I boiled many bowls of them every day.

To the extent that Yinyou felt like vomiting whenever he smelled the odor of donkey-hide gelatin.

Before the Bannerman's New Year (Spring Festival), Yinyou, who was already able to walk, was walking around the palace when he suddenly saw the fourth brother standing not far away, looking at him silently with a look of surprise on his face.

"Fourth brother." After half a year, the two brothers met again.

The fourth brother walked quickly to Yinyu, looked at him carefully, let out a long sigh, and said happily: "I begged Khan Ama for a long time, and finally he allowed me to visit you."

Because Kangxi was summoning important ministers to discuss matters in the front hall, and they were surrounded by people who served in the imperial court, so the fourth brother did not dare to say much.

"Even though I heard that you have almost recovered, Khan Ama did not allow me to stay too long, so as not to disturb your rest. I will just talk about the important things in a short time. Congratulations, Khan Ama has issued an order to promote Mi Bin Mu to Mi Fei Mu. In addition, I have also benefited from you. Because of my contribution in rectifying the arrears of the national treasury, I have been promoted to Prince of Yong County. Oh, by the way, eighteenth brother, you will be rewarded with a Beizi salary. However, sixteenth brother will only be rewarded with a Fuguogong salary." The fourth brother paused for a moment, and then said, "There are some things that Khan Ama does not allow me to say."

Yinyou understood as soon as he heard it, it must be about his reward.

In the Qing Dynasty, grace coming from above was the kingly way.

Even the fourth brother didn't dare to meddle.

On New Year's Day, Yinyou, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was brought back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City by Kangxi.

In front of all the ministers, Kangxi smiled and ordered: "Minister Heng, issue the decree."

Zhang Tingyu walked up to Yinyu with the imperial edict in his hand, and shouted loudly with an extremely complicated look in his eyes: "There is an imperial edict."

Yinyou quickly knelt down to receive the order.

At that time, thousands of officials and ministers inside and outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony also knelt.

"Imperial edict: The fifteenth son of the Emperor, Prince Yinyu, has protected me with his life, showing his loyalty and filial piety. He is promoted to the rank of Duoluoyu Beile, and is awarded the salary of a county prince. He is in charge of the affairs of the three banners of the Bordered White Banner, the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han armies, and is also in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of War, and is assigned to the Southern Study. I decree this."

"Your son Yinyu accepts your order and thanks you for your grace."

Wow, my goodness! In front of all the civil and military officials in the court, Kangxi pushed Yinyou to the high position of the most powerful prince in this dynasty.

As for Yinyou, according to his lunar age, he was only eighteen years old.

To be honest, Yinyou really doesn't care whether he is a Beile or not.

However, Yinyou was the first prince to serve in the Southern Study!
Although the Southern Study during the Kangxi Dynasty was not the Grand Council, it was also the most important decision-making think tank for the current emperor.

Zhang Tingyu, a professional drafter of imperial edicts, stayed on duty in the Nanshufang every day, ready to receive Kangxi's instructions at any time.

As for managing the three flags of Manchu, Mongolian and Han army of the Bordered White Banner, this is very impressive.

In other words, from now on, the Manchu commander-in-chief, Mongolian commander-in-chief and Han commander-in-chief of the Bordered White Banner must obey the orders of the super commander-in-chief Yinyu.

In essence, the 24 Eight Banners commanders established by Kangxi fundamentally undermined the power of the banner leaders of each banner.

The leaders of all banners of the Bordered White Banner, that is, the descendants of Hauge, now have to look at Yinyu's mood.

After the decree was issued, even Yinyu was a little confused. This was because, under the strict etiquette, one must not stand in the wrong position in the court.

With the status of the newly promoted Prince Yu, Yinyou could easily squeeze into the group of princes.

However, in this case, Yinyou would have to stand together with the eldest and third brothers.

The eldest and the third brother, these two unlucky guys, were both demoted by Yinwei. It is natural for enemies to be jealous of each other when they meet.

Just when Yinyou was hesitant, Zhang Tingyu came over in time and led him to the side of the Eighth Elder.

How could Zhang Tingyu have the courage to arrange the shifts randomly?

This must be Kangxi's arrangement!

In this way, Yinyou became the second among the princes and was several steps away from the eldest and the third, which avoided a lot of embarrassment.

The eldest brother looked longingly at Yinyou, who was wearing Beizi's clothes but standing next to the eighth brother, and was so angry that he almost bit his molars.

The third brother was a more scheming person, and even though he clenched his fists tightly, he did not show his anger.

Anyway, let's just wait and see.

The Eighth Brother was very happy. He had wanted to win over Yinyou for a long time, but had never had a good opportunity.

Now, Yinyou is standing next to the Eighth Prince, so there is no need to worry about the opportunity for in-depth communication.
Objectively speaking, Lao Ba, because of his humble background, has always been a virtuous person, playing to his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses.

To be honest, there was nothing wrong with Lao Ba choosing to be the Eighth Wise King.

The biggest mistake he really made was that after deposing the crown prince, he believed Kangxi's lies, secretly instigated Ma Qi, contacted important officials in the court, and nominated him as the new crown prince.

As soon as the public nomination happened, the eighth brother's ambition for the throne was completely exposed in front of Kangxi.

"Fifteenth brother, don't worry about anything when we pay our respects later. Just follow me." The eighth brother once again took the initiative to extend an olive branch.

"Thank you, myna."

To be honest, if Yinyou didn't know the true direction of history, the Eighth Prince's approachable and understanding style would have really had the effect of bewitching people.

Why does the ninth brother follow the eighth brother so wholeheartedly?
Isn’t it just the result of Lao Ba’s wise king’s tricks?

When the auspicious time arrived, the terrifying sound of a long whip hitting the ground was heard in the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. "Snap!"

The grand court assembly on New Year's Day officially begins.

PS: I stayed up until 4:30 in the morning, feeling cold and hungry, and finally managed to write an extra chapter. I would like to ask for some monthly tickets as encouragement. I shouldn't get scolded, right?
