The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 75: Knife

Not long after Zhang Haide was sent away, Concubine Mi's generous reward arrived.

After a long period of turmoil, Yinyu thought that he could finally have some peace and quiet.

Who would have thought that the eldest brother would say loudly: "Mother Mi looks extremely simple on weekdays, but I didn't expect that she actually hid so many good things. Look, the things that Mother Mi gave to her own son are far more than the treasures that Mother Defei gave to her!"

Although the eldest brother did not dare to say it explicitly, his meaning was extremely vicious, and he implicitly accused Concubine Mi of having an affair with a strange man.

Last time, Yinyou lost the boss's face in the palace, and the narrow-minded boss finally got the chance to take revenge.

The eldest brother is not only a prince, but also a prince of a county. Ordinary people don't even have the chance to speak in front of him.

It was obvious that the eldest brother just wanted to bully Yinyou, but he had no strong support from his mother's family.

However, someone refused to believe in the evil and shouted: "Brother, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will go to the Qianqing Palace and ask Khan Ama to judge the matter!"

Yinyou didn't need to look to know that the fourth brother, who didn't care about his relatives, would definitely help.

"Go if you want. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" The boss was obviously feeling guilty, but he still acted stubbornly.

Yinyou didn't even look at the fourth brother, but glanced at the fourteenth brother.

Old Fourteen seemed not to hear and just kept drinking.

Haha, someone is picking on Concubine De and deliberately making trouble, but the Fourteenth Prince doesn't say anything?

As the eldest son of the Prince of Zhi, if he really wanted to act arrogantly, no one present could stop him.

The consequences of attacking the eldest brother first can be seen from the fact that the Thirteenth Brother was treated as air by Kangxi!

The Sixteenth Old Man was so angry that his face turned red. He quickly pulled out the small dagger from his waist and was ready to go forward and fight the eldest brother.

Yinyou knew that the Sixteenth Prince was young and energetic, so he kept an eye on his every move, fearing that he would cause a disaster due to a momentary impulse.

"Sixteenth brother, I am here, so it is not your turn to risk your life." Yinwei grabbed Sixteenth Brother's hand and tried hard to snatch the dagger from his hand.

Beating up the eldest brother with bare hands, although wrong, was not a serious matter.

However, if the knife was used, the nature of the situation would be completely different. The Sixteenth Prince would most likely be imprisoned until death by the furious Kangxi, or even directly expelled from the imperial family.

The Sixteenth Prince was worried about hurting Yinwei, so he had to let go and let Yinwei take the dagger from his hand.

Yinwei clenched his fists, took big steps forward, and was about to risk his life to beat the eldest brother, but he found that the sixteenth brother had also rolled up his sleeves and was following closely behind him.

This is really true, brothers in battle are like brothers!

At this time, the Sixteenth Prince was definitely unable to stop them. Yinyou thought, hey, let’s just fight in a group and be punished together.

Just as the huge scandal of three princes openly fighting was about to happen, an accident occurred unexpectedly.

"Big Brother, have you read all your books into a dog's stomach?"

The voice was too familiar, and everyone turned their heads to look over at the same time.

I saw a skinny old man, with half of his face covered by a large mink hat, standing in front of the door with his hands behind his back.

Someone screamed in a trembling voice: "Emperor...Emperor."

Just like the sound of the starting gun in a track and field race, "Hualala..." everyone in the room knelt down.

"Your servant...respectfully greets His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I respectfully wish you the best of the world."

Yinyou naturally knelt as well, but he felt somewhat puzzled.

Today, the entire palace was under tight security, not even a fly could get in, but how could Kangxi sneak in quietly?

I really can’t understand it. Yinyou is puzzled!
Kangxi put his hands behind his back, walked slowly to the eldest brother, stared at the top of his head, and said coldly: "Big brother, tell me, how did Nara teach you to be a man?"

The eldest brother was so frightened that his heart was trembling, how could he answer?
Among the concubines in the palace, the only one with the surname Nara was the eldest son’s biological mother, Concubine Hui.

The eldest son was very lucky. When he was born, Nara had already been promoted to Consort Hui. Therefore, he was raised by his biological mother since he was a child.

The eighth child was very miserable. When he was born, Concubine Liang had no official status yet, so he had to be sent to Concubine Hui to be raised.

Therefore, the relationship between the Eighth and the First has always been very good. The Fourteenth was also very lucky, as his mother had just been promoted to Depin when he was born.

The royal family needs to be decent, and under normal circumstances, even Kangxi would not call Concubine Hui by her surname.

In the Qing Dynasty, regardless of whether they were bannermen or civilians, women were all given only surnames, not given given names. For a sophisticated family, their daughters would at most have a nickname.

Calling a woman by her surname is as serious an insult as calling a man by his first name.

The boss never dreamed that Kangxi would actually witness his tyranny with his own eyes.

Seeing that the eldest brother was already frightened, Kangxi was too lazy to pay attention to him. He simply walked up to Yinyu and asked him coldly: "You just clenched your fists and rushed over here. Did you want to hit your eldest brother?"

"Khan Father, my fifteenth brother is young and hot-tempered after all..." The fourth brother was worried that Yinyou would suffer a loss, and he got anxious and interrupted without any regard for etiquette.

"Shut up." Kangxi didn't look at the fourth brother, but kept staring at the back of Yinyou's head.

"My Lord, I was so angry that I wanted to beat Prince Zhi, but I didn't dare to do it." Yinyou didn't have time to think about it and just told half the truth.

"Hmph, you've read so many books that you don't even call me big brother?" Kangxi was obviously angry.

Kangxi wanted to be a sage king, and he also hoped that his sons would live in harmony and be friendly to each other.

However, the reality is that Kangxi's sons had long since split into several major gangs, fighting each other openly and secretly with swords and sabers.

Yinyou knew that Kangxi was unhappy, but he did not obey him and refused to call him "big brother" anymore.

Kangxi could clearly see that Yinyou was becoming stubborn and was really daring enough to confront him.

"Liang Jiugong." Kangxi suddenly called out Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong was so clever. He had guessed what Kangxi was thinking. He immediately walked to the center of the main room, unfolded the imperial edict in his hand, and read aloud: "I, in compliance with the imperial edict of my mother, the Empress Dowager, proclaim that the fifteenth son of the Emperor, Yinyu, is friendly, filial, and fraternal... and is promoted to the rank of Prince Yu. I decree this!"

Yinyou was also a little confused. What was this?
However, he reacted very quickly. The current Empress Dowager had always been indifferent to things. This time, she actually issued an imperial decree in person, which could only be in accordance with Kangxi's wishes.

"Your son Yinyu accepts the order and thanks you." When Yinyu received the order, he knew clearly that in order to protect the fourth son, Kangxi deliberately pushed him out as a shield or a whetstone.

There had always been a close relationship between Kangxi and the Crown Prince, with a loving father and a filial son, and they lived in great joy.

The bad thing was that Kangxi appointed the crown prince too early, which resulted in the crown prince being attacked by a pack of wolves.

The Empress Dowager's decree cannot be rejected, otherwise it would be extremely unfilial.

However, Yinyou knew that Kangxi would have a trick up his sleeve.

As expected, Kangxi continued, "The eldest prince, Yinzhi, is arrogant and disrespectful, so he shall be demoted to a beile. The fifteenth prince, Yinyu, is extremely audacious, so he shall be fined for five years."

Haha, two sons, one was demoted and the other was fined, it seemed that each of them was given fifty lashes.

In fact, no matter how you look at it, Yinyou got the big advantage.

To be fair, the eldest brother wanted to sow discord in the palace, which was a big mistake. Yinyu was not the one who committed the crime in the act, and his fists did not hit the eldest brother, but he was only hurt.

Relatively speaking, the punishment for Yinyou was quite severe!

However, Yinyou spoke the truth in front of Kangxi and was not criticized, which left a deep impression on everyone.

With so many princes and brothers, everyone was like a mouse seeing a cat in front of Kangxi, behaving obediently and trembling with fear.

Only Yinyou is so foolish and bold that he dares to speak the truth so brazenly.

"Khan Ama is so wise and enlightened that I am convinced!" The fourth brother was worried that something unexpected would happen again, so he deliberately praised the emperor loudly.

Kangxi glanced at the fourth brother, then at Yinyou, and the past events of Zhu Biao and Lan Yu came to his mind uncontrollably.

Although Yinyu did not dare to look up, he guessed what Kangxi was thinking. The fourth son was too protective of him, which inevitably aroused suspicion.

However, minor flaws do not affect the overall situation!

As long as the fourth brother can keep his composure, he will have the last laugh!
To put it bluntly, even if the fourth prince was ready to quit, Yinyou would pull him back without hesitation.

"Someone, ask him to come in."

Just when everyone thought Kangxi was about to leave, he unexpectedly gave other instructions.

PS: The best is yet to come, but the monthly votes are really a bit unbearable. If you help me get into the top ten of the historical monthly votes list, I will add two more chapters!
