The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 157: The Power of Red Beile
As expected, after listening to Yinyu's report, Kangxi simply said, "I know!"

The poor eldest brother made a fuss for a long time before he finally gained Kangxi's brief mercy and was sent to see Yinyou.

It’s a pity that due to his stupidity and ignorance, the boss gave up his last chance to come out.

From then on, no matter how the eldest brother made trouble, Kangxi would never be so soft-hearted as to send anyone to see him.

To be honest, if someone secretly practiced witchcraft and cursed the prince to die early, he would have been directly executed whether it was during the reign of Emperor Yongzheng or Emperor Qianlong, and there would have been no chance of him being imprisoned.

Yinyou was helping Kangxi deal with the memorial book for paying respects when he heard that Orondei and his brother Fahai had a fight and even pulled out knives.

Kangxi was very angry. There were so many troubles among his mother's family!
Orondei was the legitimate son of Tong Guogang. He always looked down on his younger brother Fahai and always scolded Fahai as the son of a lowly slave.

Fahai's origin was indeed extremely humble. His biological mother was originally a maid who served tea and water in the Duke's mansion.

Once, after Tong Guogang got drunk, he randomly picked up a maid to have fun with. As a result, after just one time, the maid became pregnant with Fahai.

Haha, Qianlong’s biological mother was actually only slept with by the fourth son once.

"Go and warn them. If they dare to draw their swords again, you'll have to go guard the Emperor's mausoleum!" Kangxi slammed the table and scolded, "You're already old, but you're still acting like a kid. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Whoo!"

After receiving the imperial edict, Yinyou took Liang Jiugong out of Changchun Garden and headed towards Tongfu Avenue where Tong Mansion was located.

Tongfu Alley, the west side of this alley was originally the old residence of Yan Song’s son Yan Shifan, so it is also called: East Alley.

After the team entered the alley, they had to pass through Tong Guowei's Duke's Mansion first.

In the Tong family, there are two Cheng'en Gong, both of whom are actually related to the queen.

After Kangxi took power, he conferred the title of first-class Cheng'en Duke on Tong Tulai, the father of his biological mother Concubine Tong. Later, this dukedom was successively inherited by Tong Guogang and his son Orondai.

Tong Guowei was awarded the title of First-Class Cheng'en Duke because his daughter, Concubine Tong Jia, was canonized as queen the day before her death.

The Tong family, with two queens in one family, was actually the richest family in the Kangxi period.

To be honest, the fourth brother has always regarded Longkodo as his uncle, and he must value the Tong family.

It’s a pity that Tong Guowei, Orondei and Longkodo all looked down on the fourth brother at first.

Especially Longkodo, this guy first followed the eldest brother, then followed the eighth brother, and for a period of time he was particularly close to the third brother.

Coincidentally, when Yinwei's team passed by Tong Guowei's Duke's Mansion, they happened to run into Tong Guowei who was about to go out to Changchun Garden.

After all, Tong Guowei was Kangxi's uncle, so Yinwei came out of the sedan chair and took the initiative to pay his respects to him.

"Greetings, uncle."

Tong Guowei did not dare to be rude. He dodged sideways while also stabbing deeply and said respectfully: "Greetings, Lord Yu Beile!"

After going through the complicated etiquette for half an hour, Tong Guowei finally found time to ask Yinyou with a smile: "Where are you going, Fifteenth Master?"

Yinyu thought to himself, your Tong family is always causing trouble and Kangxi is always there to clean up the mess.

"My dear uncle, the two cousins in the neighboring mansion actually drew their swords against each other, and Khan Ama ordered me to come and comfort them."

Although Yinyou spoke very politely, Tong Guowei knew as soon as he heard it that Kangxi must have ordered Yinyou to come and warn Orondei and Fahai, the two brothers who were enemies.

"Alas, my two nephews are simply lawless. Only the emperor can control them." Tong Guowei's words don't sound like much at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, they are obviously biased towards Orondei.

Orondei followed Tong Guowei and joined Lao Ba.

Fahai was one of the many Chinese teachers of the fourth brother.

However, Yinyu knew that the master that the fourth child respected the most must be Gu Badai. However, the fourth child only learned Gu Badai's knowledge, but did not learn Gu Badai's horseback archery skills, which allowed him to use a twelve-force bow and shoot three stars in the center of the bull's eye with one arrow.

Out of respect for his elders, Yinyou waited until Tong Guowei got on the sedan chair and left before continuing to walk inside.

The guards in front of the Duke's Mansion had already seen Yinyou's team and hurriedly reported it inside.

After getting off the sedan chair, as soon as Yinyou's feet touched the ground, he saw the three brothers Orondei, Fahai and Kuadai standing together in front of the gate.

However, these three brothers were very far apart from each other, with at least three body lengths between each of them.

It’s obvious at first glance that there’s a huge discord between the brothers!

"There is an imperial decree!" Yinyou stood with his hands behind his back and announced his purpose coldly.

Orondei quickly ordered people to set up the incense table and prepare to receive the order.

Accompanied by his three brothers, Yinyou was welcomed into the main courtyard and main room of the Duke's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, you, Orondei and Fahai, are merely my cousins. How dare you draw your swords against me..." Yinyou, with a stern face, repeated Kangxi's original curse verbatim.

Kangxi was known for his sharp tongue, and his insults were enough to make people feel ashamed.

Even though Orondei was not afraid of Kangxi, he was extremely wary of Yinwei!

Last time, Orondei looked down on Yinyu and repeatedly took the initiative. As a result, under the secret deal between Yinyu and the prince, he was beaten to a pulp and had to recover from his injuries for a long time before he dared to show up in public.

After Yinyu finished scolding, he said coldly: "Listen carefully, my two cousins. Khan Ama said that if you dare to do it again, you will be sent to guard the mausoleum for the emperor's grandfather."

"Huh!" Orondei lowered his head obediently. Fahai was still not convinced, but he didn't dare to get angry.

Yinyu saw that Fahai was indignant, but pretended not to know, and said earnestly: "If the family is not harmonious, outsiders will bully you. Please respect yourselves, my two cousins!"

This is the extremely powerful Yinyou. If it were the fourth son, Orondei would really dare to confront him in person.

In fact, the fourth brother was really good at disguising himself. He was obviously a tough guy, but throughout the later years of Kangxi's reign, he pretended to be a harmless little lamb.

Objectively speaking, the eighth, ninth and tenth brothers were all badly cheated by the fourth brother.

Among them, the ninth one was particularly good, as he was sold out by the fourth one and had to help count the silver.

After the eagle-killing incident, the severely scolded Lao Ba was imprisoned in the clan residence. The confused Lao Jiu actually went to Lao Si privately to discuss how to rescue Lao Ba.

What's more, after Kangxi's death, the fourth son had already ascended the throne, but the ninth son's biological mother, Concubine Yi, was still kneeling in front of the future Empress Dowager Defei in an extremely presumptuous manner as before.

After Yinyou finished his warning, Fahai finally found an opportunity to speak and hurriedly spoke out his true feelings.

"Please tell the emperor that I don't want to stay in the Duke's Mansion anymore. I am willing to pay for the construction of a new house myself." Fahai prostrated himself on the ground, crying and begging Yinwei.

Yinyou knew what was going on. After Tong Guogang died in battle, Kangxi once said that the Tong brothers would only be allowed to split up after he died ten thousand years later.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling Fahai was, he had to live in the same house with the hateful Orondai.

"Get out of here soon. It's too late. I'll use a knife to kill you, the bastard born of a slave!" Orondai pointed at Fahai and cursed him without any regard for his dignity.

Yinyou didn't say anything, but just stared at Orondei coldly.

Orondei wanted to continue cursing, but, he felt guilty, and his cursing became quieter and quieter until it finally stopped.

PS: I took the time to type this using my mobile phone, so just read it for now. I will definitely make up for the missing 1000 words.
