The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 112: Advance and Retreat with Ease
The common people in the capital city are very eloquent because they are well-informed.

When he opens his mouth, he is the Minister of the Court; when he closes his mouth, he is the emperor's son and grandson. His arrogant tone and powerful aura can easily scare the bumpkins from other places!
However, when they really meet a ruthless person, these people become cowardly again.

This is because anyone who dares to speak harshly in public in the capital is definitely not a good person.

Dozens of diners stopped eating their noodles and didn't pay their bills, for fear that they would walk too slowly and get sparks on them.

However, after these people slipped out of the noodle shop, they did not go far, but gathered outside to watch the fun.

Everyone had left, and only Kangxi and Yinyou were left, eating noodles leisurely. It was impossible for them not to attract attention.

"You two, our master is from the palace, please give me some face and help me."

The leader of the troublemakers was a dark-faced man who had seen the world. He took the initiative to come forward, clasped his hands and bowed, trying to get Kangxi's bottom line.

Kangxi was too lazy to pay attention to him. He picked up a few noodles with chopsticks, stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed them slowly.

Yinyou sighed secretly, otherwise, it was all his own fault.
The black-faced man, if he didn't say that there were people in the palace, he would still have a way to survive.

Now, how could Kangxi allow any restless factors to disturb his deep sleep in the palace?

"Gentlemen, please don't refuse my toast. Do you want to be punished?" The black-faced man saw that Kangxi and Yinyou ignored him, and he became angry and said something very unpleasant.

At this time, Kangxi stopped eating with his chopsticks, raised his head, took the white silk handkerchief handed over by Wu Shi, and asked the black-faced man coldly: "What kind of penalty wine?"

The dark-faced man smiled smugly and said, "Send him to Shuntian Prefecture and give him a severe punishment!"

Yinyou simply couldn't bear to look at it anymore. This idiot not only dragged down the people in the palace behind him, but he even brought up Shuntian Prefecture.

Alas, the hole caused by this incident is getting bigger and bigger!

When Kangxi heard the three words "Shuntian Prefecture", he was a little surprised.

Because the current Shuntian Prefecture Governor Shi Shilun is a well-known iron-faced and upright official.

Shi Shilun was Shi Lang's second son and served in the Bordered Yellow Banner Han Army. Because of his father's influence, he started his career as the governor of Taizhou, a sixth-rank official.

Because Shi Lang was the greatest contributor to the conquest of Taiwan, Kangxi did treat his eight sons well.

Among them, the one most valued by Kangxi was Shi Shilun.

Now, the black-faced man revealed in public that there was someone in Shuntian Prefecture, and Kangxi immediately became suspicious. Could it be that Shi Shilun's integrity and selflessness were all pretended?

Kangxi’s temper is that you can be greedy openly, but you can’t treat me like a monkey.

During the six months when Yinyou was injured, he was with Kangxi almost every day. He now has an 80% understanding of Kangxi's temper.

Kangxi must be feeling uncomfortable!
However, behind the black-faced man stood dozens of thugs armed with knives, guns, sticks and clubs, so Yinyou had to put Kangxi's safety first.

"Father, if you don't speak, your son will not be able to bear it anymore." Yinyu didn't look at the black-faced man and went straight to Kangxi to reveal his cards.

Because Kangxi only brought Wu Shi into the noodle shop, and the other guards stayed outside.

Kangxi wanted to play a game of cat and mouse, but his interest was ruined, so he glared at Yinyou coldly.

To be frank, with the exception of Yinyou, no one could withstand such a glare from the supreme ruler of the world!

The tiger claw scar left on Yinyou’s left shoulder is the hardest medal in the entire Qing Dynasty. What is he afraid of?
"Hai Cha, leave only this one alive!" Yinyu ignored Kangxi's sharp eyes, pointed at the black-faced man, and issued a killing order.

"Hmm." Hai Cha hadn't seen blood for a long time. He was so pent up that he felt inexplicably excited.

Hai Cha immediately drew his sword and led a dozen of his men, like a tiger descending from the mountain, and viciously pounced into the crowd of ruffians.

"Puff..." Someone was stabbed in the abdomen.

"Crack." This is the crisp sound of breaking bones.

In almost the blink of an eye, the area in front of Zhang's Braised Pork Noodle Restaurant turned into a sea of blood.

"ah……"

My god..."

"Run!" The onlookers were so scared that they ran away in all directions.

"How dare you kill so many people in the street? You have such a guts!" Kangxi scolded Yinyou angrily.

Unexpectedly, Yinyu harshly retorted to Kangxi: "For the safety of my father, my son dares to kill anyone!"

"You are taking human life lightly!" Kangxi's nose was crooked with anger. "How can you be so cruel and inhumane?"

Yinyou, however, was not at all flustered and said, "Anyone who dares to raise a knife against you, Father, is an unforgivable traitor!" He showed no intention of repenting at all.

"Get out..." Kangxi was so angry that he was shaking all over. He stood up suddenly and kicked over the long bench next to him.

"Get out if you want!" Yinwei ran away without any intention of kneeling down and begging for mercy.

Unexpectedly, just as Yinyu reached the door of the noodle shop, he heard Kangxi say, "Come back!"

Yinyou had no choice but to turn back, stand beside Kangxi, and listen to the instructions obediently.

However, Kangxi ignored Yinyu and ordered Wu Shi: "Seal off the whole street and send all the bodies to the tiger garden. Also, pass the order that if anyone dares to leak the news, the whole family will be sent straight to the wolf's den."

"Yes." Wu Shi accepted the order and sighed at the same time. The emperor really loves the Fifteenth Master!
Kangxi dealt with the aftermath very quickly. He suddenly raised the folding fan in his hand and hit Yinyu hard on the head, angrily scolding: "Unfilial and evil beast, you only cause trouble for your father!"

Seeing Yinyou in a daze, Kangxi angrily said, "Why are you still standing there? Go back and kneel for half a day. Get out!"

Yinyou was driven away, and Kangxi also left in disappointment.

After Wu Shi escorted Kangxi out, he secretly made a gesture. "Swoosh." Before Wu Shi put down his hand, the black-faced man, who had already lost his soul, was shot through the throat by an arrow and fell in a pool of blood, definitely not alive.

Wu Shi is not Yinyou. Even if he had eighty times the courage, he would not dare to order the killing in front of the emperor without authorization.

After Yinyou returned home, he not only did not take the initiative to kneel as punishment, but after bathing and changing clothes, he hugged Nian Guanyin and devoted himself to practicing the secret skills of pushing a cart as a teenager.

Hehe, when everything is going well and the government is in full swing, if you don’t take the initiative to make some small mistakes, then sooner or later the emperor’s favor will fade.

On the contrary, doing something extraordinary that may affect your reputation from time to time can make it easier to avoid suspicion of being ambitious.

Kangxi was a rare emperor who was a great scholar. How could he not know that when Emperor Wu of Han was still alive, Huo Guang never made any mistakes?

The person who did not make mistakes was either Huo Guang, who arbitrarily deposed and enthroned emperors, or Wang Mang, a role model of morality!

However, Kangxi did not see Yinyou for many days.

Yinyou was not in a hurry at all. He just decided not to meet her. After handing the memorial from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Qianqing Palace, he left in a leisurely manner.

As the saying goes, when there is no desire, there is strength!

As long as he did not plot a rebellion, Yinyou would at most return to the Shangshufang to study.

As the crown prince for more than thirty years, he had been sitting in the Shangshufang, studying diligently. Why was Yinyou afraid of being embarrassed?
About a month later, Yinyu submitted the proposal for the marriage proposal.

According to the rules, the auspicious day for the prince's wedding must be chosen by Kangxi.

Originally, Yinyu thought that Kangxi would not see him.

Who would have thought that Wei Zhu came out and asked him to come in.

"Do you know you are wrong?" Kangxi asked Yinyou coldly.

Yinyu stiffened his neck and said, "My Lord, if anyone dares to raise a knife against you, I will never allow it!"

Hehe, as long as you stand firm on this position, you won’t be afraid to travel all over the Qing Dynasty!
"You..." Kangxi was so angry that he was shaking all over. Perhaps he was choked and started coughing violently.

Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu hurried over and were busy for a while, stroking his chest and back.

Finally, Kangxi regained his composure and kicked Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu out.

"This won't happen again, understand?" Kangxi evened out his breathing and warned Yinyou coldly.

Yinyu refused to give in, and straightened his back and said, "Except for protecting the emperor."

"You..." Kangxi said angrily, "Your name is Zhang Tingyu!"

Zhang Tingyu arrived soon.

"Minister Heng, draft an imperial decree. Prince Yu has behaved inappropriately. One hundred and fifty guards shall be removed and he shall be fined 5000 taels of silver!"

"Yes." Zhang Tingyu, a professional drafter of imperial edicts, knelt down in front of a small table, picked up his pen and started writing. In the blink of an eye, he had drafted the edict.

After receiving the imperial edict, Yinyou pretended to be dejected.

Zhang Tingyu glanced at Yinyou calmly and said, "The Fifteenth Master is really very smart."

When Kangxi was in power, he gave 200 Solon soldiers to Yinyou. Afterwards, he thought that this must be a major security risk in the capital.

Now, Yinyou made a mistake that was neither big nor small. He neither stripped him of his title nor imprisoned him.

The fine was just a superficial measure. What Kangxi really wanted to do was to recall most of the Solon soldiers to avoid any trouble and strife within the family.

However, based on Zhang Tingyu's understanding of Kangxi, Kangxi still felt sorry for Yinwei and left him 50 Solon soldiers, which was not a big deal.

On the day of the proposal before the marriage, Kangxi actually sent Ma Qi to serve as the chief envoy to go to the Crown Princess's parents' home to convey the system.

As soon as this gesture was made, Yinyou immediately received the signal that Kangxi had completely calmed down, and he immediately entered the Qianqing Palace.

"Khan Amar, I know I was wrong!"

Yinyou had previously refused to admit his mistakes, but now he fell to the ground and cried. It was obvious that he was the kind of person who would not tolerate soft words or hard words.

"Humph, if I wasn't afraid of affecting the reputation of the royal family, I really don't want to see you again." Kangxi pretended to scold for a while, then changed the subject, "After your wedding, where will the Eighteenth Prince live?"

Yinyu had expected Kangxi to ask this question, so he said confidently: "My dear Khan, I plan to have the wife live in the east courtyard, the concubine live in the west courtyard, and my eighteenth brother live in the east wing of my courtyard, so that I can take care of him in time."

"Oh, what about the extra space?" Kangxi asked Yinyou curiously.

After Yinyou was promoted to Beile, Kangxi awarded Yinyou the Zhang Beizi Mansion on the left side of the original Tao Beizi Mansion and the Feng'en Zhenguogong Mansion on the right side.

As a result, Yinyou's Prince's Mansion was incredibly large, almost occupying the entire alley.

Yinyu smiled slightly and said shamelessly: "When Khan Ama rewards many foxy girls, there must be a yard for them to stay, right?"

Kangxi thought for a moment, and could not help but pick up his gray beard, and chuckled softly, "May you have many children and blessings. I can also hold your baby in my arms."

Yinyou knew that Kangxi meant to hold the child in his arms, not to raise him in the palace.

Because, among all the imperial grandchildren, Kangxi favored Hongxi the most.

After Qianlong ascended the throne, in order to gild himself, he often publicized that his royal grandfather loved him at first sight!

In fact, it’s pure bullshit!
