The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 181 The Second Deposed Crown Prince (7)

"If we don't kill the traitors, how can we win the support of the people?" Kangxi was so angry that he almost fainted. He shouted, "Get out, get out!"

Yinyou and Zhang Tingyu both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, "Well done, very wonderful!"
Zhang Tingyu was somewhat impatient and subconsciously took a step to leave the hall. However, as soon as he moved his legs, he realized that he was being rude, so he quickly retracted his legs and told Yinyou to leave first.

Yinyou rolled out first, taking almost the same steady steps as usual.

If you don't leave now, when will you leave?
As long as he got out, even if Kangxi cut Yinreng into pieces, it would have nothing to do with Yinyou.

To be honest, when Yinreng was still the crown prince, did Yinyou ever enjoy any care from him?

In fact, Zhang Tingyu had the same idea as Yinyou. He would not dare to interfere in the disastrous fratricide among the royal family even if he had eight hundred guts.

Ren An, the guard of the Northern Army who remained neutral, was beheaded for the crime of being treacherous and disloyal!

What most people don’t know is that Ren An was originally a retainer of Wei Qing, and was recommended to Emperor Wu of Han by Wei Qing, which is why he held such an important position.

However, just as Yinyou walked out of the hall, less than ten steps away, he was called back by Wei Zhu.

"Last time, when Tuoheqi had ulterior motives, I spared that dog slave Liang Jiugong for the sake of our old friendship. Who would have thought that he would dare to bring people to pour oil and set fire? Alas, I really can't keep him any longer. I'll just throw him outside to feed the stray dogs."

Kangxi did not mention the matter of Yinreng again, and Yinyou's head was not caught in the door, so it was impossible for him to jump into the abyss on his own initiative.

"Whoo!"

Yinyou knew clearly that Kangxi asked him to personally send Liang Jiugong off, which obviously showed that he did not trust others.

To be honest, once the secrets of the palace were leaked, it would likely affect Kangxi's reputation.

Kangxi, who was nearly sixty years old, was more concerned about his reputation than ever before, and naturally worried that the wise ruler would become a tyrant.

This kid Liang Jiugong knows so much that it’s hard to count them all!

Must be silenced!

Yinyou brought a large number of guards to the door of the woodshed. Liang Jiugong heard the chaotic footsteps and hurriedly climbed up from the firewood pile, looking at the door in horror.

"Open the door!"

Liang Jiugong could still recognize Yinyou's voice even if it was burned to ashes.

Unfortunately, Liang Jiugong's arms were tied behind his back and his mouth was blocked. Even though he was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, he could only make whimpering sounds.

Liang Jiugong must have many secrets hidden in his body. Moreover, Yinyu also wanted to know these secrets.

However, in front of everyone, Yinyou didn't dare to ask about these secrets, let alone say a word to Liang Jiugong.

"Come on, send Liang Jiugong to the top of the beam!"

Yinyou stood at the door of the woodshed, deliberately did not go in, and directly gave the order to send Liang Jiugong to the west.

"Whoo!"

Liang Jiugong was so frightened that he lost his soul, his urine and feces were flowing all over the place, his legs were kicking around, and he was whimpering constantly.

Yinyou stood in front of the door with his hands behind his back, watching silently as Liang Jiugong, who was limp as a piece of mud, was held hostage by eight guards and his neck was hung in a white silk noose.

With the help of the bright sunlight, Yinyu could see quite clearly.

At this moment, Liang Jiugong's eyes were swollen from crying, and the hem of his robe was wet and stuck to his legs. Liquid feces like water continued to drip onto the ground, emitting an unpleasant and foul smell.

Alas, this is the sad consequence of standing on the wrong side!

Thinking back to the beginning, Yinyou, as a prince, had to respect Liang Jiugong as Master Liang just because he was extremely unpopular. How ridiculous was that?
Yinyou deliberately did not move until the guards let go of Liang Jiugong, who was hanging in the air and kicking his legs in a disorderly manner. Then he slowly walked over.

Due to his self-respect, Liang Jiugong's neck was tightened by the white silk noose, and he couldn't even make a whimper.

When their eyes occasionally met, Liang Jiugong was horrified to find that there was a hint of a victorious smile on Yinyou's lips.

It was not until this moment that Liang Jiugong suddenly realized that Yinyu had long intended to kill him!
Liang Jiugong had just died when Guo Shouyi ran over in a hurry and shouted from a distance: "Pass on the emperor's order to spare Liang Jiugong's life!"

If Liang Jiugong were still alive, after hearing this, he would definitely guess that Yinwei wanted to kill him on purpose.

Unfortunately, Yinyou acted too quickly and Guo Shouyi arrived too late.

At this time, Liang Jiugong, who was hanging on the beam, was already dead and motionless!

The unspoken rule in the palace is that you are not afraid of the emperor wanting to kill someone, but you are afraid of the emperor wanting to regret it!

Kangxi wanted to spare Liang Jiugong's life, but Liang Jiugong was killed by Yinyou first.

In this matter, Yinyou was just acting in accordance with the emperor's orders. At first glance, there is nothing to be surprised about!

However, from then on, the eunuchs in the palace, including Wei Zhu, were extremely afraid of Yinyou.

Yeah, this is exactly the effect Yinyu wants!
Those who do not plan for eternity are not worthy of planning for the moment.

In the future, when the mausoleum collapses, if there is no reliable insider in Changchun Garden, how could Yinyou know the true condition of Kangxi?
After Yinyou returned to report, Kangxi heard that Liang Jiugong had died and couldn't help but sigh.

It's all God's will. We can only blame Liang Jiugong's luck, which is very bad!

After the anti-rebellion proclamation was issued, Kangxi did not rush to order Yinyu to lead the army to pursue Arabtan, but quietly waited for good news to come back. The Mongolian princes in those days were almost all fence-sitters.

They would work hard for whoever wins between Kangxi and Yinreng. This is what they call "leaning towards the bigger side".

Now, the situation is completely clear, Kangxi has won!
Therefore, when the proclamation and the reward were passed on, all the Mongolian princes and nobles on the grassland were collectively excited.

Just by giving the fallen dog a beating, you can get a few thousand taels of silver every year. This deal is really a good deal.

As a result, under the continuous siege by the Mongolian princes and their troops, Arabtan could no longer bear it and actually tied up Yinreng and came to apologize to Kangxi!

Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes. What’s more, it’s just a father-in-law and a son-in-law?

Kangxi had long predicted that when the manifesto spread throughout the prairie, that would be the day when Yinreng's head or himself would be brought to see him.

In short, if he’s alive, I want to see him in person; if he’s dead, I want to see his body!

Harboring Yinreng is not just harboring an ordinary murderer, it is a serious crime punishable by the death of the entire family, and the consequences are extremely severe!
However, after Yinreng was captured, Kangxi seemed very embarrassed.

Kill him, it will seriously affect the good reputation of the Holy King.

Don’t kill him. What if Old Eight follows suit?
After much deliberation, Kangxi finally trusted Yinyou and called him into the bedroom alone.

"Little Fifteen, there are only you and I here. Tell me the truth. How should we deal with the Second Prince?"

For several days in a row, whenever Kangxi closed his eyes, the bloody scene of Yinreng's head being chopped off with a steel knife would always haunt him!

In fact, according to the custom of the Qing Dynasty, even if an ordinary banner official committed a capital crime, he would be granted a white silk cloth and his body would be preserved intact to preserve the dignity of the Qing Dynasty.

What’s more, what about Yinreng, who had been the crown prince for more than 40 years?
"Khan Ama, even if my second brother is disloyal a thousand times and unfilial ten thousand times, he is still my second brother!"

Yinyou knew clearly that if he did not make his attitude clear today, he would definitely offend Kangxi to death.

All along, Yinyou used the method of making small mistakes constantly but never making big mistakes to deal with Kangxi's possible suspicion.

Today was different. There were only father and son in the room, and it was Kangxi's bedroom. It was inevitable that he had to express his stance.

"Put away your cunning tricks and get to the point!" Kangxi knew Yinyou's temper very well. This guy would definitely find ways to slip away if he wasn't pressed hard enough.

Yinyu bent his waist and whispered, "Khan Ama, can we do this? Tell the outside world that he has been given a white silk, but in fact, he is imprisoned in an extremely secluded place in the palace."

"What if people outside become suspicious?" Kangxi's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly asked Yinyou.

"Khan Ama, if we send Wei Zhu to deliver the food, the news won't leak out, right?"

Yinyou knew better than anyone that after Liang Jiugong's death, Wei Zhu was the most powerful person in the entire palace.

In other words, only Wei Zhu has the power and influence to cover the sky with one hand!

If Wei Zhu was not implicated, whoever was responsible for guarding Yinreng would definitely leak the news.

Anyway, even if he angered Kangxi and was dismissed from office and title, Yinyou would never suggest Kangxi to kill his second brother Yinreng!
The eldest brother was kept in the Prince's Mansion and was treated like a pig. How could Yinyou be willing to learn from him?

"Then, who is the most suitable person to guard the second prince?" Kangxi stared at Yinyou with his sharp eyes, without blinking.

Yinyou pretended to be in deep thought and pondered for a long time before suggesting: "Khan Ama, in my opinion, Guo Shouyi and Wei Guozhu are quite suitable."

Guarding Yinreng and guarding the boss are completely different in nature!

The eldest brother was under public confinement. The people who were guarding him had to stand guard when they were supposed to, and go home to hug their wives when they were supposed to, without any interruption to their daily lives.

Guarding Yinreng was different. If one was not careful and the news leaked out, it would easily set a wrong example for the Eighth Prince.

Oh, Yinreng rebelled and survived. Can I learn to do the same?

Isn't this equivalent to encouraging Old Eight to implement the Xuanwu Gate Succession Law?

Kangxi thought about it carefully and found that Yinyou's suggestion was obviously very thoughtful.

Guo Shouyi and Wei Guozhu are both Liang Jiugong's trusted godsons, and they are both very tight-lipped.

Sending the two of them to take personal care of Yinreng is indeed a very appropriate arrangement, and the risk of leaks is greatly reduced.

When Yinreng died of old age, Guo Shouyi and Wei Guozhu each gave him a piece of white silk and threw him into the mass grave in Zhongguan Village. There was no one to redress their grievances.

Because Kangxi knew the details of Guo Shouyi and Wei Guozhu very well. They were both from Xianghe, Zhili. Their families had all starved to death, so they had no choice but to castrate themselves and enter the palace as eunuchs to have enough food to eat.

"Your suggestion is very good!" As soon as Kangxi said this, Yinyou understood that he had once again overcome the difficulty of family affection.

If Yinyou suggested killing Yinreng, then Kangxi's character of being kind and fraternal would completely collapse.

Of course, even if he lost Kangxi's trust, Yinyou could also learn the long-term tactics of the Thirteenth Prince and secretly win over the soldiers in the Tongzhou camp.

However, this role is almost identical to that of Old Thirteen!
If Yinyou had not completely fallen out of favor and had a little real power, he would never have chosen to follow the same single-plank bridge path as the Thirteenth Prince.

After leaving the palace, Yinyu breathed a sigh of relief. All the remnants of Liang Jiugong were killed by him!
Hehe, Yinwei’s habit is that if he does something, he either doesn’t do it or, if he does it, he won’t leave any unknown hidden dangers.

PS: This is the first update of the day. The second update will be around 2:18, and the third update will be around 23:30. If the monthly tickets exceed 8500, there will be four updates in the early morning.
