The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 139 There is no cure
The eighth brother’s problem is actually almost exactly the same as that of the crown prince.

Whether you really want to bring up the old story of Xuanwu Gate or not is actually not important.

What is really important is that the Eighth Prince has the ability to learn from Li Shimin, which threatens the supreme imperial power!
"My dear Khan, do you want to hear the truth or just empty talk?"

This is a necessary preparation when the emperor and his ministers are discussing their opinions.

Even though everyone knew that the following words might not be true, Yinyu still had to say this.

"Come on, why are you talking so much nonsense?" Kangxi glared at Yinyou unhappily.

The relationship between people will be different after they have experienced really big things.

When the crown prince was deposed, Yinwei withstood the test of loyalty. Not only did he turn the tide, he also helped Kangxi to put the crown prince back on the throne.

More importantly, if it weren't for the radiant humanity of Yinyou, he would have stopped the furious Kangxi from swinging his knife in time.

Hehe, I'm afraid Kangxi has already been branded as a tyrant who killed his son!

Instinctive human nature is more precious than anything else in heaven!
To be honest, Yinyou now has a lot of weight in Kangxi's heart.

"Replying to Khan, my dear, myna was actually bewitched by Tong Guowei..."

Anyway, Tong Guowei has already fallen from power, so it is only natural for Yinyou to pass the blame to him.

After all, Kangxi favored the Eighth Prince for more than a year or two. Otherwise, the Eighth Prince's party would not have expanded so rapidly.

This person subconsciously believes that his child must be good and that it was others who taught him bad things.

Kangxi remained silent and waited patiently for Yinyou to finish speaking.

Yinyu then said, "Khan Ama, please spare the eighth, ninth and tenth brothers."

Kangxi said coldly: "You speak for them, but they don't appreciate you. What's the point?"

"Khan Father, I don't need the gratitude of my eight brothers." Yinyou said with great confidence.

Once you take sides, there is no regret!
If Yinyou had not led his troops to disrupt the situation, the Eighth Brother would have had a great chance of winning.

This is like Rabin of the Kingdom of David. He was a nationally renowned war hero, so he dared to exchange territory for peace.

Kangxi once again saw the brilliance of human nature in Yinwei!

The greatest humanity of the Heavenly Family is that they cannot kill each other!

"Okay, I'll do as you say and pardon them!" Kangxi said this, but in fact, he had wanted to pardon the Eighth Brother and others for a long time, and he just used Yinyou's proposal as an excuse.

However, to Kangxi's surprise, Yinyu added: "Zhi Beile is too cruel and crazy, he must not be pardoned!"

The eldest brother suggested killing the son for the father, and hid in the mansion to practice witchcraft. Even he was pardoned. Is there any morality left?
"I have long been that stupid pig, and I am already dead."

After being persuaded by Yinyou, the little bit of sympathy Kangxi had for his eldest brother completely disappeared.

However, in order to maintain the emperor's dignity, Kangxi did not pardon the Eighth Brothers immediately.

It was not until more than a month later, when the Golden Festival was about to be held, that Kangxi issued an edict to restore the eighth brother's title of Beile.

In order to reward his sons for their merits and to ease the conflicts among them, Kangxi issued decrees at the same time, promoting the third son to Prince Cheng, the fourth son to Prince Yong, the fifth son to Prince Heng, the seventh son to Prince Chun, and the tenth son to Prince Dun.

The ninth, twelfth and fourteenth brothers were all given the title of Gushan Beizi.

According to the Qing Dynasty's custom, after a prince was conferred the title of prince, he would be assigned to the Niulu of the lower five banners.

The bad thing about the Qing emperors is that they are very patient. They cut the flesh of the princes and lords with a slow knife, once today and once tomorrow.

By the 40th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign, all the princes and lords of the banners had become pampered vases.

What a coincidence, the position of the third lieutenant and eighth captain of the Bordered White Banner Han Army where Nian Xialing was located was assigned to the fourth brother.

As a result, Nian Gengyao, a cabinet scholar, naturally became the fourth master's servant.

So far, among the princes older than Yinyou, except for the eldest prince who was imprisoned until his death, the Thirteenth Prince has nothing. He has always been a figurehead prince with no title, no power, and no job to do.

According to the customs of the banner people, the Thirteenth Brother is over twenty-five years old.

At such an old age, he is still in the Shangshufang, accompanying the prince to study. It is really pitiful to work so hard!
On this day, Yinyou was on duty in the Imperial Household Department when he suddenly heard the news that Ling Pu, who had been expelled from the banner, had returned.

However, since the crown prince was restored to the throne, it was only a matter of time before his grandfather Ling Pu returned.

After finishing his shift, Yinyu took a car to the fourth brother's place.

Today is the Fourth Lady's birthday. Cuiqing and Huixiang came early to chat with her.

In fact, the fourth brother didn't plan to hold a grand celebration.

However, it was almost dusk, but there was still no sign of Nian Gengyao.

The fourth brother was so angry that his face turned blue. He slammed the table and said, "This dog slave is too rampant, isn't he?"

Nian Xialing was sitting outside drinking tea. This old fox was so shrewd that it was scary.

However, not only did no one see Nian Gengyao, but even his gift was not delivered.

The Thirteenth Brother sighed and said, "Fourth brother, everyone has their own aspirations and can't be forced. Just forget it!" "Forget it? Humph, how can you just let it go like that?" The Fourth Brother was merciless in his words, but in his heart he couldn't bear to be cruel to Nian Gengyao.

After all, among the Niulu that the Fourth Brother had just led, there was only one talented bannerman, Nian Gengyao.

Just think about it, at the age of twenty-something, you are already a cabinet scholar with a red hat. Your future will be limitless!

"Su Peisheng, go check where Nian Gengyao went?" The fourth brother couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, so he simply asked Su Peisheng to check.

Su Peisheng was an experienced errand boy after all. He sneaked into the door and secretly slipped ten taels of silver to the coachman of the Nian family.

The driver suddenly received such a large sum of money, so naturally he told everything he wanted to say.

"My Lord, Nian Gengyao has recently fallen in love with a popular girl in Youlan Courtyard. Whenever he has free time, he spends time with her."

Nian Gengyao liked to visit brothels, and even Kangxi had heard about it. It was no longer a new thing.

"Bang." The fourth brother almost fainted from anger and smashed the teacup in his hand. "This dog slave is so rampant and hopeless..."

The Thirteenth Prince and Yinyou looked at each other and said, "Alas, Nian Gengyao had indeed gone too far."

No matter what, the fourth brother is now the legitimate master of the Nian family.

Look at Nian Xialing outside. This old man who has already retired actually came to attend the Fourth Lady's birthday banquet despite being ill. The servant has handled the matter just right.

"Fourth brother, in my opinion, let's just forget it." The Thirteenth Brother also knew that Nian Gengyao was in great favor with the emperor. Even if the Fourth Brother said something harsh, at most he would only humiliate Nian Gengyao. But that would not be a favor, but an enmity.

Back then, Duoduo deliberately wanted to embarrass Huang Taiji, so he took advantage of his status as the leader of the banner to snatch Fan Wencheng's newlywed wife and enjoyed her for three months.

Fan Wencheng naturally would not give up, so Duoduo’s highest achievement was to be the regent!
"No, Fifteenth Brother, you have to help me vent my anger!"

Old Thirteen, who has no title and no power, would definitely not be able to deal with Nian Gengyao.

However, it was different for Yinyou, who had terrifying power!

"Fourth brother, you have to think it through. If you really want to ruin Nian Gengyao's future, it's actually not that difficult!"

As long as Yinyou takes action, Nian Gengyao will definitely not be able to escape!
However, even though the fourth prince is now Prince Yong, he does not have a single servant who can help him establish his own household.

No matter what era it is, if one is not popular, he will have few disciples.

As the saying goes, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish; if the person is too strict, there will be no followers.

Objectively speaking, the fourth brother’s character is still too harsh.

"What should we do then?" The fourth brother stared at Yinwei, hoping that he could come up with a good plan.

Yinyu spread his hands and sighed, "Fourth brother, to be honest with you, it's easy to destroy him, but it's hard to win him over!"

Even if there was a way to force Nian Gengyao to surrender, Yinyou would not bother to do so.

For the fourth brother, you have to get into his heart and become someone he trusts at a very early stage.

Otherwise, Qing can just wait to be drugged by the fourth brother!
Longkodo and Nian Gengyao, who joined the gang halfway, were used by the fourth brother and then thrown into the eighteenth level of hell.

Although it was the Fourth Lady’s birthday, there were quite a few guests!
The third, fifth, seventh and twelfth brothers are all here.

Just as they were about to start the feast, the doorman suddenly brought in a message, "The Eighth Master and the Eighth Lady have arrived."

The eighth brother lived next door to the fourth brother. There was a wedding in the fourth brother’s family, so it was impossible for the eighth brother not to know about it.

However, he delayed coming until the banquet was about to start, mainly because the Eighth Lady didn't want to come.

When the crown prince was deposed, Yinwei's behavior in the Hall of Supreme Harmony offended the entire Eighth Prince's party.

In particular, Prince An Maerhui, who openly declared that the Qing Dynasty would perish, hated Yinyu to the core.

If the eighth prince becomes the crown prince, the Prince An that Maerhui has been longing for will have a chance to return to Yue Le's family in the future.

Speaking of which, if it weren’t for the Empress Dowager and Oboi’s interference, the person sitting on the dragon throne would most likely be Yue Le!
It was also because before his death, Shunzhi once planned to pass the throne to Yue Le.

Therefore, after Kangxi had squeezed Yue Le dry of his surplus value, he began to get rid of him.

What made Maerhui most angry was that even though Yue Ledu was dead, Kangxi still accused him of a false crime and demoted him from prince to duke.

As soon as Lao Ba entered the room, he bowed and said, "I'm sorry, something delayed me. I'm a little late. After the banquet starts, I will drink three cups as punishment!"

Even though he was just released not long ago, Lao Ba still exudes the air of a wise king!

What no one expected was that the Eighth Prince actually sat together with Yinyou on purpose.

"Fifteenth brother, if you hadn't given advice to Khan Ama, my ninth brother, my tenth brother, and I would still be in prison." The eighth brother deliberately bit Yinyou's ear and whispered, "No matter what misunderstandings they have about you, you are always a good brother in my eyes!"

Lao Ba is so virtuous!

Even if the Eighth Prince was in trouble, the spies in the palace would still dare to pass the news to him.

Yinyou knew what was going on. Don’t underestimate what the Eighth Prince said, as it sounded high-sounding and full of virtuous meaning.

However, Yinyou has already chosen the fourth brother's team, so he and the eighth brother are naturally mortal enemies!
