The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 136: The Deposed Crown Prince (10)

Kangxi, who was confident of victory, ignored the eighth brother for the time being and brought up the old matter again.

"I intend to reinstate Yinreng's title of crown prince. If none of you object, then it's settled!" Kangxi deliberately played tricks, making sure that no one would dare to object anymore.

This is equivalent to a leader holding a meeting and asking those who disagree to raise their hands. Who dares to raise their hand?
However, despite all Kangxi's calculations, he still missed something, as some fearless people actually jumped out.

"Khan Father, the second prince beat his younger brother, humiliated royal princes, privately accepted bribes from Jiangnan, bought and sold official positions, and was lustful..." The fourteenth prince, who was not afraid of death, was ten thousand times braver than the eighth prince. He resolutely stood up and, in front of Kangxi, enumerated the many cruel and inhumane acts of the deposed prince.

Inspired by the Fourteenth, the Tenth also jumped out.

"Khan Father, I just can't understand why you love the Second Prince so much? What do you think of us sons?" The Tenth Prince wiped his tears in grievance and spoke in a sobbing voice, "Or, why don't you just kill all of us straws!"

In fact, the crying of the Tenth Prince resonated very well with the other princes.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the fourth brother. After he was kicked unconscious by the deposed crown prince, Kangxi pretended to be ignorant and refused to intervene.

It's really disheartening!
At this time, the eyes of the venomous snake Laojiu turned, and seeing that there was a way, he also jumped out and said loudly: "Khan Ama, please open the history book and see if the deposed prince can be reinstated?"

Zhang Yushu looked at Lao Jiu with some surprise. OK, this angle is not only novel, but also very convincing!

To be honest, after Tong Guowei and Prince Zhuang were driven out by Yinwei, the morale of the Eighth Prince's party plummeted, and their defeat was obvious!

At this critical juncture, Kangxi was angered and he really dared to kill people!
Therefore, no one among the royal princes and Manchu nobles dared to lead trouble again!
Now, several of the emperor’s own sons have jumped out, and everyone dares to join in the fun!
After all, the law does not hold everyone responsible!

Could it be that Kangxi could kill all his own sons who supported the Eighth Prince, as well as 90% of the Manchu ministers?

"Your Majesty, I think what the Tenth Prince said is correct."

"Although I have little education, I have heard that almost all deposed princes have a bad ending!" This guy is simply talking about things that are irrelevant.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"My dear ancestors, please open your eyes and take a look. The Qing Dynasty is about to perish!" This person was going to exaggerate to the extreme, it was impossible for him not to attract everyone's attention.

Yinyou turned his head curiously, but saw Prince An Maerhui crying and beating his chest, looking as if the Qing Dynasty was about to end.

Maerhui stood up for the Eighth Prince, and Yinyou could understand it no better!
Because Prince An, Maerhui, is the uncle of the Eighth Lady.

To be honest, the Eighth Brother is particularly afraid of his wife, and that's because the uncles in Prince An's Mansion are really willing to support him to the end.

When Concubine Liang had no official status yet, the Eighth Prince was in an even more miserable situation than Yinyou, who was a nobody at the time.

No matter how badly Yinyou was doing, his biological mother lived in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, and his younger brother, the Eighteenth Brother, was also particularly favored.

When others want to bully Yinwei, they always have to be cautious.

Lao Ba is different!

Liang Fei's father, Abunai, was of a not-too-low rank, being the internal supervisor of the Xinzheku, a fifth-rank official.

However, Xinzheku had a bad reputation. Inside it were either rapists, murderers, prisoners of war, debtors who could not pay back their debts, and habitual petty thieves. It was a mixed bag with all kinds of people.

The eighth brother's adoptive mother, Concubine Hui, is a confused person herself, and his friend, the eldest brother, is also a fool.

It was in such a dire situation that the Eighth Brother relied on the support of the Prince An's Mansion and his own efforts and sweat to step by step ascend to the throne of regent.

To be honest, if Kangxi had not been too cautious about the crown prince, the eighth prince would not have been able to become the regent.

After serving as regent for two consecutive times, it was like adding excessive leavening agent to steamed buns, which helped the momentum of the Eighth Prince's party to expand rapidly.

One should remember its source. Without the strong support from Prince An’s Mansion, it would be impossible for the Eighth Brother to gain such great recognition from the flag owners, princes and royal clans!
So, there is a reason why Lao Ba is henpecked!

As soon as the fourteenth prince jumped out, Yinyou walked to the Sumeru throne calmly.

The famous scene of drawing swords and chopping people is about to be staged.

If Yinyou missed this good opportunity to show his brotherly love, his presence here today would have been in vain!
In heaven, the method of calculating merit is completely different from that in ordinary people!

No matter how great his contribution was in helping Kangxi stabilize the situation, it was not as great as his contribution in humanely protecting his brother!

The heavenly family has never lacked power, but only humanity!
Seeing that the good situation with all the flag owners and kings submitting to him was ruined by the bad boy, the Fourteenth Prince, Kangxi was so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils!

If it were someone else, Yinyou would just catch him and chop him into pieces!
But the fourteenth prince is Kangxi’s biological son!

"Fourteenth Prince, you are just a young boy, what do you know? Get out!"

Although he was furious, Kangxi still wanted to give the Fourteenth Prince a chance to reform.

However, the fourteenth prince was obviously a newborn calf, not afraid of the tiger at all! Not only did he not roll away, but he said confidently: "Khan Ama, what's wrong with my brother? It was your order to let everyone elect the new crown prince."

As the saying goes, don't hit people in the face!
The Fourteenth Prince's outrageous words revealed Kangxi's true hooliganism. The image of a kind father who kept his word, which he had deliberately created in the past, was ripped apart by the Fourteenth Prince in front of everyone!
Kangxi was almost mad with anger. He never dreamed that the Eighth Prince would be so good at bewitching people.

The fourteenth brother doesn't even want his biological father, but insists on protecting the eighth brother. What's the nature of this?

It’s creepy when you think about it!
In a rage, Kangxi jumped down from the throne in a few quick steps, grabbed Wu Shi's scabbard, and drew the sword with a "swish".

"You are worse than pigs and dogs. I will kill you!" Kangxi swung his sword and was about to chop the Fourteenth Prince to death.

It happened in a flash. Yinyou, who had been standing by, grabbed Kangxi's arm holding the knife with lightning speed and pulled him back with all his might.

"Khan Ama, please calm down!" Yinyu was sweating profusely and shouted in panic, "Khan Ama, you can't kill your son! An emperor who kills his son will be cursed for eternity, my Khan Ama!"

At this time, the fifth brother also came to his senses. He rushed over and wanted to help Yinyou to snatch the sword from Kangxi's hand.

However, man proposes, God disposes. During the struggle, Lao Wu's hand was cut and blood gushed out immediately.

At this moment, the fourth son also ran over, hugged Kangxi's thighs tightly, and cried, "Khan Ama, you might as well kill me too!"

At first glance, it seemed that the fourth brother had a fever in his head and was talking nonsense.

If you think about it carefully, the Fourteenth Brother is the Fourth Brother's biological brother. He is more justified than anyone else in protecting the Fourteenth Brother at the risk of his life.

After seeing the blood, Kangxi suddenly came to his senses and killed his son in public. In history, he would surely be known as a tyrant like Li Longji!
"Bang!" Kangxi loosened his hand and the sword immediately fell to the ground, making a terrifying sound.

Seeing that Kangxi had regained consciousness, Yinyu quickly turned around and shouted at Yinreng: "Second brother, help Khan Ama up quickly!"

Yinreng suddenly realized what was going on. He ran over in a panic, supported the weak Kangxi, climbed up onto the Sumeru throne, and sat on the dragon throne.

Zhang Yushu, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but narrow his eyes after seeing Yinyou's performance.

At this critical moment, Yinyou actually knew the limits of a minister and did not leave any consequences of overstepping the mark. This is truly commendable!

Back then, Cheng Ji was instigated by Jia Chong to assassinate Emperor Cao Mao of Wei. This was a typical example of someone who had too little education and no knowledge, and he deserved to have his three clans exterminated.

After Kangxi sat on the dragon throne, he looked at the Fourteenth Prince who was still unconvinced, and he became angry again.

"Issue an order to demote the Fourteenth Prince to a commoner, remove him from the imperial register, and take off his yellow belt!"

Yinyu thought that this punishment was no less tantamount to killing the Fourteenth Prince on the spot.

After the fourth prince ascended the throne, he expelled the eighth and ninth princes from the royal family. Therefore, the eighth and ninth princes had to be renamed, which led to the two well-known bad names of Aqina and Seshihei.

In fact, these two names do not mean pig or dog.

"Khan Father, the Fourteenth Prince is unfilial. You can beat him with a stick or even temporarily confine him. It would be too much to remove him from the Jade Book!" Yinyu was the first to kneel down before the Sumeru Throne and took the initiative to plead for the Fourteenth Prince.

Who would have thought that Old Fourteen would shout arrogantly, "Little Fifteen, stop pretending to be a good person. I don't want you!"

However, at this time, the bloody old man knelt down beside Yinyu and said loudly: "Khan Ama, I miss my sixth brother."

The sixth brother is Yinzuo, who is also the son of Concubine De.

The Sixth Child back then was much smarter than the Eighteenth Child now.

When Yinzuo died young, Kangxi said with tears in his eyes, "Wei Wu lost Cao Chong!"

"Ama Khan, Fourteenth Brother does have a perverse personality, he should be severely beaten with a stick!" At this time, Seventh Brother also spoke up.

"Khan Father, the Feng Shui book says that killing a son is extremely unlucky and bad for the dragon vein!" The Twelfth Prince was talking nonsense and actually made Kangxi laugh.

"Forget it! Drag him out and give him forty strokes of the board. You brothers, do it together!" Since Kangxi had made concessions, the princes, led by the fourth prince, hurriedly grabbed the still struggling fourteenth prince and dragged him out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After tying the fourteenth brother to a long bench, each of the men, led by the fourth brother, stepped forward and beat him with three sticks.

When it was Yinyou's turn, he swung a big stick and hit him three times hard. The fourteenth prince couldn't bear the pain and screamed.

After all, the fourth brother was his biological brother, so he couldn't bear to use too much force on him.

However, Kangxi would not be able to calm down unless he beat the Fourteenth Prince until he cried out in pain.

All the princes present understood this truth!

However, only Yinyou stepped forward and cleared the fourth brother's bad reputation of being unfriendly to his brother.
