The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 93 You Deserve a Slap

There was a hint of intriguing sneer at the corner of Yinyou's mouth.

What a man, Orondei, who is asking for his own death!
The prince, who was so close, couldn't possibly fail to see Yinyou's sneer.

The prince's eyes rolled, and almost in an instant, he suddenly understood something.

The prince turned around and walked into the palace without saying a word.

When the prince appeared at the door of the main hall again, he was holding a bloody whip in his hand.

"You little dog slave, you've gone too far in bullying me..." The prince picked up the whip and hit Orondei on the head.

The current crown prince started studying at the age of four, practiced riding and archery at the age of six, and is now in his prime with plenty of physical strength.

That’s not all. The prince often took a whip to vent his anger. Over time, he developed the real skill of whipping people from a distance.

"Pa pa!" While Orondei was still dazed, he had already been whipped three times on his head and face.

Almost instantly, Orondei's face turned red.

"I will beat you to death, you blind dog slave!"

"Clap!"

"You little dog slave, you still dare to hide?"

"Clap!"

The entire main hall was filled with guards armed with swords, but no one dared to move.

It was because Yinyou, the imperial envoy, had remained silent.

The crown prince is the heir to the throne of the country. How noble is his status?
Unless Yinyu gave the order, who would dare to take action and give it a try?
Poor Orondei was whipped by the prince who took the opportunity to vent his personal anger, and his face was covered in blood and his skin was torn.

The most infuriating thing is that Orondei has all the brute force but doesn’t have the courage to fight back.

As long as he fought back, it would be equivalent to beating the current crown prince. The lightest punishment Orondei could give him was to commit suicide!

The prince was so happy with the beating that he spat fiercely at Orondai, who was lying in a pool of blood, and kicked him twice. Then he threw away the whip in his hand, laughed, and said, "You can search as you like, I will not stop you!"

Orondei fell shamefully!
Even though the prince had spoken, Wu Shi and Longkodo did not dare to act rashly and just stared at Yinyou.

At this moment, Orondei, lying on the ground and wailing in pain, looked like a mangy dog that had fallen into the water!
Yinyou didn't even blink at Orondei, he just raised his right hand casually and waved it lightly.

Wu Shi and Long Keduo quickly set up deep trenches and said servilely, "Yes."

For a moment, a large number of guards, like a tide, completely submerged the main hall of Yuqing Palace.

Yinyou had already made it clear what should be ordered. Anyone who dared to disturb the prince's concubines would be committing a sin and would be punished!

About an hour later, all the eunuchs and palace maids in the Prince's Palace, without exception, were taken out of the Yuqing Palace and taken to the inner prison yard under the Ministry of Punishment.

Immediately afterwards, the newly replaced eunuchs and palace maids from the Ministry of Internal Affairs lined up in an orderly queue and entered the various halls and rooms in Yuqing Palace one by one.

Poor Orondei lay in a pool of blood, howling for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him.

Without Yinyou's order, who would dare to meddle in Orondei's affairs?
After seeing that everything was ready, Yinyu ordered, "Take him back and call a royal doctor for him."

"Yes." Several guards from the Imperial Guard Department, who were Orondei's subordinates, ran over and carried Orondei out of the palace.

The meaning of Kangxi's decree was to let Yinyou preside over the replacement of eunuchs and the search of the palace.

Now, the people have been replaced, and all the writing-related items in the East Palace, such as letters and memorials, have been packed into boxes and sealed.

So Yinyou took a dozen large sealed boxes to the Qianqing Palace to report the imperial edict.

"What? He is so bold!" When Kangxi heard that the prince used a whip to beat Orondei into a bloody mess, he immediately became furious.

However, after cursing for a while, Kangxi felt powerless all over.

This is not the first time that the prince has beaten someone.

Not to mention Orondei, a small-time first-class duke, even the fourth prince, a noble, was kicked off the stairs by the crown prince and fainted, wasn't he?

The fourth brother was kicked unconscious. Kangxi knew it very well, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb.

"Oh, this bastard!" Kangxi sat down on the kang dejectedly. He suddenly raised his hand and swept the teacup on the table to the ground. "Bang!" There was a terrifying crisp sound.

Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu were clearly standing by the door, but they did not dare to come in to clean up the broken porcelain on the floor.

The people who served in front of the emperor, hehe, if they didn't have some vision, would have been sent to the mass grave in Zhongguancun to be fed to stray dogs.

"Come here, give Orondai five hundred taels of silver and fifty pieces of silk!"

Kangxi took a few deep breaths, finally came to his senses, and began to compensate Orondei.

Yinyou had known long ago that this would be the result. The prince's beating would be in vain.

Unless Kangxi uses this as an excuse to depose the crown prince.

However, the prince was raised by Kangxi himself, who acted as both father and mother to him for more than thirty years.

When the time came, Kangxi couldn't bear to let him go! "You have done a great job. I will reward you with double the salary of a Beizi and allow you to ride a horse in front of the Qianqing Gate."

The emperor doesn't need hungry soldiers. Otherwise, who would dare to do your job sincerely next time?
What Kangxi called benevolence is reflected in the fact that as long as you are willing to do your job well, he will be willing to give you benefits!

Back then, Dong Zhuo did not understand this principle. He was so stupid as to treat the aristocratic families who were on the same side with him but had different ideas from him well, while he treated his loyal old subordinates from Xiliang harshly.

How could the thief Dong, who made his old subordinates feel terrified, not perish?
"You must take charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment with legitimate reasons." After giving candy to Yinyou, Kangxi began to put pressure on him again.

The Director of the Imperial Household Department was originally in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, so there was nothing wrong with Kangxi's order.

"I understand!"

Kangxi's words were incoherent, but Yinyou understood clearly in his heart.

None of the eunuchs of the Eastern Palace and the aunts in charge who were taken to the Ministry of Punishment could escape.

If they were serving Kangxi, they would definitely be able to call the shots like Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu.

It’s a pity that they are unlucky and have to serve the prince who has been waiting for decades to ascend to the throne but cannot.

Kangxi, whose dragon body was often in poor condition, had a very strong destiny and even made the god of death cry!

After Yinyu left, Kangxi frowned and ordered Liang Jiugong: "Go and check whether the beating of Orondai was secretly done by Xiaowu?"

Liang Jiugong had already received reports from his godsons, and Orondei became so bold that he dared to openly defy Yinyou and call him the Fifteenth Prince.

A few days later, Liang Jiugong, who had found out the truth, reported to Emperor Kangxi: "Your Majesty, I have asked everyone one by one, and they all said that Orondai was beaten because he openly angered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it had nothing to do with the Fifteenth Prince."

"understood."

Kangxi not only arranged Liang Jiugong to investigate, but Wei Zhu also went to investigate.

The results of the investigation by the two most trusted eunuchs were roughly the same. They both said that it was Orondei himself who was blind and angered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Thus, the incident of Orondei being drained of blood became a tiny insignificant speck of dust and was quickly lost in the long river of history.

"Master, the godsons of Chief Steward Liang and Deputy Chief Steward Wei have both hinted to me that the matter of the bloody man is over!"

Yinyou picked up the teacup, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and couldn't help but smile.

Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu's initiative to show goodwill was obviously to make Yinyu owe them a favor. When they were in trouble, they also hoped that Yinyu would help them.

As for the arrogant and domineering Orondei, he has always been arrogant in the past and he deserves his misfortune!

In fact, Yinyou knew better than anyone that Orondei's beating was actually a silent understanding reached between him and the extremely clever prince.

The prince helped Yinyu to vent his anger by beating Orondei. Yinyu ordered his men to search the entire Eastern Palace and obtained countless valuable documents and letters.

However, Yinyou inadvertently overlooked several extremely crucial letters of loyalty hidden on the prince's body.

Nowadays, if the prince has any brains, who among his important followers would dare not hand in their loyalty?

These tokens of allegiance are what Kangxi wants most, and are also what the prince must protect.

If anyone dares to betray the prince, the prince will risk everything and find a way to hand over the letter of allegiance to Kangxi. In a blink of an eye, the whole family will fall into the abyss and face a shameful end!
Of course, Yinyou knew better that even if he copied these letters of surrender, Kangxi would not be able to depose the crown prince immediately.

As a mature politician, Kangxi would definitely find a backup before deposing the crown prince, help him take the throne, and then give him a ride.

Inside the eerie and terrifying prison cell of the Ministry of Punishment, hysterical wails, cries, and the muffled sound of whips hitting flesh intertwined to form a horrifying picture of purgatory on earth.

Accompanied by Su Ping, the Langzhong of the Ministry of Punishment, Yinyou just stepped into the door of the inner cell and smelled a pungent smell of burnt meat.

Suping originally thought that Yinyou, a prince of a noble family, might not be able to stand the overly pungent smell and would turn around and leave.

However, Suping was wrong, Yinyou walked in calmly.

Although Suping was promoted by Concubine De, he also secretly gave a thumbs up to Yinyou. The nickname of "The ruthless prince" was well deserved by the Fifteenth Master!

In the inner cell, after passing through countless bars and opening countless copper locks, Yinyu finally entered the core area.

Wherever Yinyou passed, men and women were all stripped naked and tied tightly to long benches.

After he sat down in the interrogation room, one of Su Ping's subordinates came in excitedly and reported, "Master Fifteen, I found something hidden in his clothes."

Well, Yinyou couldn't help but smile slightly. Kangxi ordered him to personally take charge of the Ministry of Punishment, and he was targeting similar objects.

According to Yinyu's understanding, even if the eunuchs, the aunts in charge, and the maids in the Eastern Palace could not bear the severe punishment, they would still be thrown into Zhongguancun to feed the stray dogs.

There is no way. That supreme chair is so tempting that it is easy to make people obsessed and unable to extricate themselves.

Since he had discovered something surprising, Yinyu gave the order: "No one is allowed to look at any of the items that were smuggled in. All of them must be packed in boxes or cases and sealed. I must present them to the emperor in person."

Yinyou's instructions were exactly what Suping wanted.

As an old official in charge of criminal justice, Su Ping deeply understands a palace rule: the more private matters you know, the faster you will die!
