The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 151 Nine Admirals
"Master, Prince Ping's wife is pregnant and is said to be five months pregnant."

Wulin reported it carefully, this news would definitely make Yinyu happy.

Yinyu calculated with his fingers and found out that Cao Jia was five months pregnant. Wasn't that the child born from Hongluo Temple?
Cao Jia's appearance can only be considered relatively pretty, but her eye-catching, shiny black hair makes it clear that she is a slut!
After Kangxi learned that Cao Jia was pregnant, he was speechless for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "If she gives birth to a prince, it will only make the Eighteenth Prince suffer..."

"Crack!" Yinyou was shocked. Oh my god, Kangxi's plan was to let the eighteenth prince inherit the title of Prince Ping?
Yinyu thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very possible!

Given how much Kangxi doted on Prince Eighteen, it is entirely possible that he allowed Prince Eighteen to marry Prince Ping despite the opposition of the other princes.

In recent times, good news has come one after another.

After Huixiang became pregnant, Cuiqing's belly also grew bigger.

When the Crown Princess found out about this, she sent eunuchs and maids from the Eastern Palace to visit Cuiqing every few days.

Both the principal wife and the concubine are pregnant, so there must be a woman to take charge of the family.

After careful consideration, Yinyou decided to let his cousin Wang Xiyue, who was somewhat knowledgeable in literature, serve as the housekeeper.

In the evening, Yinyou rested in Wang Xiyue's room as usual.

Wang Xiyue's body is still as firm as a clam shell, which makes people extremely fascinated.

"Cousin, my third sister sent me news that she is getting married." Wang Xiyue lay on Yinyou's chest, gently twisting her slender waist, and acting coquettishly without restraint.

Yinyou knew that Wang Xiyue wanted to take him back to the Wang family to show off that they were living a comfortable life in the Prince's Mansion.

However, Yinyu really didn't have much good feelings towards the Wang family, so he shook his head and said, "I'm so busy every day, how can I have the time?"

Wang Xiyue also knew that Yinyu had opinions about the Wang family.

However, Wang Xiyue has always been at odds with her third sister. With such a good opportunity, how could she not go back and show off?

"Cousin..." Wang Xiyue knew that Yinyu liked her tightness, so she wrapped herself around Yinyu like a beautiful snake, making it hard for him to breathe.

To be honest, there were quite a few women who had been ridden by Yinyou, but this was the first woman with such a talent as Wang Xiyue!
However, no matter how much Yinyou doted on Wang Xiyue, he was not willing to join in the fun of the Wang family.

"I'm really busy. If you want to go back and join in the fun, I'll let Xiao Jinzi take you back."

According to the rules, concubines have no right to visit relatives, but Yinyou made an exception for the sake of his cousin.

In the morning, as soon as Yinyou entered the main hall of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he heard that Prince An Maerhui had passed away!

Prince An, Maerhui, was the most supportive uncle of the Eighth Concubine among her maternal relatives.

As a result, when Maerhui passed away, the Eighth Lady cried as if one of her legs had been chopped off and fainted on the spot.

Kangxi still sent the twelfth prince to preside over the entire funeral of Maerhui.

Originally, everything went smoothly. However, Maerhui's younger brother Jingxi sued Toheqi, saying that he took advantage of Maerhui's funeral to gather people for drinking and having fun.

At first, Kangxi thought that this was just the eighth prince's uncle who deliberately attacked the prince, and he did not take it seriously.

However, Kangxi could not bear Jingxi's persistence, so he sent people to investigate carefully.

As a result, the results of the investigation surprised Kangxi.

Wow, there were more than twenty people who attended Tohaqi's banquet. Among them, in addition to Tohaqi, the commander of the infantry, there were also the Minister of War Geng E, the Minister of Justice Qi Shiwu, and several generals who held military power.

"Little Fifteen, what do you think?" Kangxi immediately called Yinyou to Qingxi Book House in Changchun Garden.

Qingxi Study was Kangxi's permanent residence in Changchun Garden. The scenery here is extremely beautiful and the views are particularly charming.

Yinyou understood Kangxi's thoughts very well. Given Kangxi's suspicion of the crown prince in his later years, this matter was bound to become a big deal!
You know, Tohazi is not an ordinary person. He is the commander of the infantry with 30,000 soldiers under his command.

To put it bluntly, if Toheqi had any evil intentions, Kangxi would be in real danger!

"My dear Khan, this matter is of great importance. We must replace Tohazi first and then conduct a detailed investigation!" Yinyu had no choice but to cater to Kangxi's suspicion and help eliminate the prince's followers.

Anyway, after the prince stabbed Kangxi's woman, he won't be able to jump around for a few more years!
"Who will take over as the commander of the infantry?" Kangxi then asked Yinyou.

Yinyou knew that this was a question that would get him killed.

"My Lord Khan, the command of the infantry involves the safety of the capital. How dare I speak nonsense?" Yinyou knew that Longkodo would be the one who stood out in the end, but he deliberately avoided this extremely sensitive topic.

"Little Fifteen, is your skin itchy again?" Kangxi rebuked Yinyou with great displeasure.

Yinyu also noticed Kangxi's indecision, so he whispered: "My Khan, such an important position must be selected from the imperial court." As long as he did not recommend a specific candidate, Yinyu dared to speak.

However, no matter how smart Kangxi was, he could not have expected that after more than a dozen twists and turns, Yinyou's recommendation would actually have only one result, which was that Longkodo would take over.

"How is Longkodo?" Kangxi deliberately tested Yinyou.

Yinyou knew Kangxi's temper very well, so how could he be fooled?
"My dear Khan, Longkodo's private life is very indecent..." Yinyou deliberately brought up the scandal of Longkodo stealing his father-in-law's concubine and talked about it in great detail.

This is an unusual case of a small scolding leading to a big help!
In the eyes of the emperor, people with improper private lives can be given important positions by using evidence against them.

"Okay, I understand. Please kneel down and pay your respects!" Kangxi waved his hand and sent Yinyou away.

The next afternoon, the palace issued an edict, appointing Longkodo as the commander of the third battalion of the Nine-Gate Infantry Patrol.

Once the decree was issued, it meant that Longkodo officially entered the political stage in Kangxi's later years.

At dusk, Yinyu was in the study, studying the secret of Wang Xiyue's clams, when he suddenly heard Wulin report through the window, "Master, Longkodo suddenly came to the back door and said that he would not leave unless you saw him!"

"Let him wait!" Yinyou deliberately left Longkodo alone, wanting to see whether this kid was really smart or just pretending to be smart.

For so many years, Longkodo has always appeared in front of the world as Kangxi's personal informant.

Now, almost overnight, Longkodo had become one of the few powerful people in the capital.

Half an hour later, Yinyou, with the help of Wang Xiyue, changed into his home clothes, paced in square steps, and came to the outer study to meet Longkodo.

When Longkodo saw Yinyou, he was not impatient at all. Instead, he immediately bowed down and said respectfully, "Thank you, Master Fifteen, for your promotion and rebirth!"

Yinyou pretended to be surprised and asked Longkodo: "Why are you thanking me?"

Long Keduo bent his waist and said honestly: "Fifteenth Master, I am an honest man. I will not cheat or play tricks. Please don't torture me. Compared with a real dragon king like you, I am just a small turtle in a shallow pond. How dare I show off my skills in front of you?"

Yinyou pursed his lips and smiled, well, even though Long Lao San has a bad reputation, he actually has a pretty good brain!

However, Yinyou has always had a historical question. Since the third son Long chose the fourth son and stood on the right team, why did he get involved with the eighth son?

To be honest, as long as he didn't get along with Old Eight, with the extraordinary achievements Longkodo had made, he wouldn't have been beaten to death, right?

This guy, Lao Si, is really brave enough to be ruthless to those he hates.

When the Fourteenth Prince was exiled to guard Jingling Mausoleum, all the eunuchs and palace maids around him, without exception, were beaten to death by the Fourth Prince!
The benefits of being ruthless and cruel were immediate. Defei, who had been promoted to Empress Dowager, no longer heard anything about the Fourteenth Prince's recent situation.

"Fifteenth Master, from now on, the Infantry Yamen under my control will be your eyes, ears and minions!" Longkodo was not a fool. With Yinyou's current great favor, it would be easy for him to step down!

Yinyou waved his hand to call Longkodo to his side and whispered some instructions in his ear.

Longkodo said without hesitation: "I understand."

I understand that just these four words mean that Longkodo decisively abandoned the Eighth Brother and officially became Yinyou's disciple.

Joining Yinyou's sect is equivalent to getting closer to the fourth brother!
What can Longkodo gain by continuing to follow Lao Ba?
If it weren't for Yinyou's help, would Longkodo have been able to ascend to the throne of the commander of the infantry so smoothly?

To put it bluntly, what can the current Old Eight give to Longkodo?
Haha, I can’t give you anything!
However, if Longkodo wanted to take the position of commander of the Wen Army, he had to satisfy Yinyou.

After Longkodo became the crucial infantry commander, Lao Ba was not stupid. He generously rewarded him with two beauties from the south of the Yangtze River sent by Cao Yin.

Longkodo accepted the secret solicitation of Lao Ba and boldly took the beauty as his own.

In this way, Yinyou knew that Longkodo had his own way to death!

In the top Tianlong circle of the Qing Dynasty, unless one is a genius, usually, those who intend to have their cake and eat it too will not end up well!
In the top circles, the most taboo thing is to have an unsteady stance and an unstable mind!

The logic that loyalty is not absolute means it is absolutely disloyal is applicable everywhere!
Back then, Jia Chong instigated Cheng Ji to stab Wei Emperor Cao Mao to death. It seemed disgraceful, but his position was as steady as an old dog!

Therefore, Sima Zhao's son Sima Yan not only trusted Jia Chong very much, but even made Jia Chong's daughter Jia Nanfeng the crown princess.

The fourth brother knew that Longkodo was having several affairs under his belt, but he pretended not to know. He called him uncle when he opened his mouth and still uncle when he closed his mouth. It was so corny!

Poor Old Eight, he always thought that Longkodo was his man!
Jingxi, who overthrew Tuoheqi, became the biggest contributor to the rise of the Eighth Master's party. The uncle that the Eighth Master called him was a real uncle with sincerity!

What Yinyou didn't expect was that Kangxi actually asked him to preside over the Tuoheqi drinking party case!
